I think Willie will play about 8 minutes a game. I think that his minutes will be very limited some nights and he may have 15 games DNPCD. The only time that he might reach 20 minutes is when his shot is consisently dropping and he is helping the team. He's streaky so I can see Willie getting extended minutes (25) occasionally. If he comes in and misses his first 3 shots then I don't see Collins going back to him for any reason.
I think Meeks will get about 15 minutes a game. I think that with Kapono and Nocioni on this team that one or both of them might be gone by the trade deadline since their will be several teams looking for shooters for potential playoff runs. I would hope that they can manage to get a solid center out of a deal that could move Kapono(or Nocioni) & Lou Williams. I would like Marcin Gortat which I think he'd be available. Orlando could really use Lou Williams. I'm also intrigued by 21 yr old DeAndre Jordan from the Clippers (averaged 11 RPG/27 min in April.)
Brian: your folly and wishful thinking blind you to the facts. Time and time again, you have been proven wrong. even Iverson's return did nothing to deter it; Willie Green will always find minutes. plenty...
from Cheeks to DiLeo to the Joran, WG has been a constant.
the scrappy hustle and spell binding moves that dazzle. who could resist? Willie is also blessed with an inordinate amount of toughness.
for another season, the excited squeal of Zoo will ring several times; WILLIE FOR THREE! WILLIE HITS THE FADEAWAY! STIFLING DEFENSE BY ONE WILLIE GREEN!
Forget the arithmetic, I dont know how it happens but it will. It always does....
** Its about the pictures man, the pictures!
You forgot to mention that Willie was our, "defensive stopper," last season. According to Cooney and Jasner, I believe.
I hope there is a good team interested in Willie and we can atleast snap a 2nd rounder. I actually could see Willie on the Lakers or Spurs bench. He's capable of contributing a very small role on a good team.
I don't know, I have a feeling if anyone is willing to take him, it's going to be the expiring contract they're interested in, rather than the player.
To be honest, the reason Green was bashed so much is the role he had on the team (similarly to the Igoudala situation). Green can definitely give you 10 quality minutes per game of the bench on a contender. The problem is the only value a team like ours can have is his expiring contract. And considering the ridiculus contracts handed out this offseason, he probably should've opted out. He could have easily gotten 10mil 4 year deal on a very solid team, maybe even the Heat...
I think you might be right. He might have been able to get a multi-year deal somewhere for something between two and three million a year. I also agree with you that he is overly maligned on this page.
I was thinking the same thing about Willie; i.e., Meeks would end up taking most of his minutes this season. I don't think the former coaches lacked the nerve to bench Willie. I just think they settled for playing him because of the choices they had and the fact that he was a veteran player capable of contributing something.
Calling him "bad" this year is a bit unfair. For him, I thought he had a pretty good year and Jordan actually used him better than all other coaches. I felt that the team ball movement was better on the whole when he was playing back up point instead of Williams whose domination of the ball tends to kill movement. Willie has had a pretty fair career for a mid second round draft choice. It's not his fault that he's played more than he should have on this team.
Maybe the other poster is right and the Sixers still might be able to get a decent second round choice for him. Maybe they should try Minnesota again since they just got a couple more first round picks in the Jefferson deal.
It's all relative. You can say he had a good year, for him, and you're correct. But what you're talking about here is Willie going from being historically bad. I mean just absolutely putrid three seasons ago (-0.7 win shares in 1,842 minutes), to just being one of the least productive rotational players in the league a couple years later.
And if I never see Willie Green playing the point again, it'll be too soon.
David Berri did an article on Willie Green a few years ago (3 years ago) and came to the conclusion he was probably the worst starter in the entire league (and was in the top 10 worst, period, starter or not).
Willie may have been better than bad this past year. For an 8th-10th man, he may be in the range of "average" now.
Make no mistake, though, there was a time that Willie was one of the single worst players to recieve a decent chunk of minutes in the entire NBA. I will make that argument until my death.
Disagree on the average part. Here's a comp to backup your other claim.
Statistics lie
It doesn't account for his stellar defense
It doesn't account for his leadership
It doesn't account for his clutch performances
It doesn't account for his overall good play
I can't wait till WG's contract is over and he signs with a new team. He will be a stud and you will truly understand what he meant to this team.
Statistics and my eyeballs, the two biggest liars in the world.
You should definitely get your eyes checked. Willie Green is such a good player and yet he is so humble. He could have opted out of his contract and made more money with a contender, but he chose to stay with the Sixers. Imagine if Lebron had Green instead of Williams when he was in Cleveland. They would have determinately beat the Celts last year. He would have shut down Rondo and Allen defensively and he would have schooled Rondo on offense. In the finals Cleveland could have put him against Kobe and he would have been the perfect player to run the floor and hit jump shots for Cleveland. It's a shame WG had to play with wanna be's like Igoudala, Webber, Salmons and Dalembert for the past 7 years.
It's like the twilight zone.
Ever hear that commercial for the company that makes sure you have good reviews on the internet? That what this seems like...
Maybe Willie's publicist or agent or something.
"you don't know how good you got it till it's gone". That's how I feel about Willie Green. He's a good defender, a good jumpshooter, a good passer and an all around good player. In fact I think he should be playing 20 mins a game. He plays both SG and PG pretty well. It's was in injustice to the team having him on the bench for end of last season. We could have won more games but Stiffanski wanted this team to tank to get a better draft pick. Willie Green is a much better player than Lou Williams. And I hope to God Stiffanski will extend Willie Green so that he can keep mentoring Jrue.
This post is so wrong it's actually disturbing. Do you mind if I ask how you found this site?
I'm a huge Sixers fan and I appreciate TALENT. I typed sixers blog in google and your site popped up. You bloggers think you know everything about basketball but you don't. Any real Sixers fan outside of this blog would tell you that Dalembert is a stiff, Igoudala lacks basketball fundamentals, and Willie Green is a good player. Just ask the players who analyze and play the game and they will tell you that Green is a good player.
Remember when WG was injured in 2006? WE MISSED THE PLAYOFFS!
This what BK, a basketball GM had to say about WG that year:
"It gives me great pleasure to announce the re-signing of Willie Green," King said at a press conference Thursday. "I think we sorely missed Willie last year for his toughness on defense, his ability to score the ball and his leadership. I'm excited [about] the hard work that he went through to get back on the court. We were able to get a contract that works for him and works for us. I'm just excited that now that he has signed, he can go play 5-on-5."
Holy crap! I didn't realize a failed GM said positive things about him in a press release AND someone made a mix tape on YouTube of him. My bad, he's good.
I think you have the fish hook Brian ;)
i think its safe to say EVERYONE has a mixtape.
Me myself I'm 15 years old and I can be a way better analyst then Stephen a smith or any other of the so-called analysts. And I disagree with u don about Willie green. U couldn't possibly think Willie green could have helped the cavs. He is a bad defender and is a tweener guard that can't be consisent on an every game basis.
Igoudala vs. The Big 3
Holy flying shit!!!!
Say "do svidaniya" to your billions, Prokhorov!
I wonder if this is going to change Simmons's view of him from "Most Interesting Owner" to "Most Incapable Owner" ...
"He has all of the qualities we've been looking for in a candidate: professionalism, good relations with the league, players and agents, and strong communications skills, . . ." -- except for talent!
Saw this on ESPN Insider. I dont think everyone has it so I thought I'd put it on here.
Chad Ford did a column on the best FA's for next offseason. In the restricted FA section there is of course a write-up on Thad:
5. Thaddeus Young, Sixers
Young continues to tantalize with his combination of versatility and athleticism. He can play both the 3 and the 4 and continues to improve his perimeter game. While it's tough to gauge whether he's a star given his limited role with the team, he'll get a big offer from someone if the Sixers don't lock him up.
I'm surprised at how convinced Ford seems to be at this point. I thought his description of Thad would say something about needing to work on his defense and three point shot. More along the lines of, he has something to prove this year. At this point I'm not so sure we should lock him up for a big contract. I'm hopeful, but not convinced. Considering the depth we have at the wing position, we should evaluate him and either trade him before the deadline or if we think he is part of our future plans, lock him up.
Just wrote a post on this.
I dislike Willie Green for the fact that before his injury in 2005, he was the kind of player that any team would love on their bench (at least on the offense). He made a stupid decision to play a pickup game ON THE DAY HE WAS TO SIGN A CONTRACT no less and he's been a shell of himself since.
He's not unlikeable as a person obviously but his game leaves something to be desired. "The next time Willie Green plays defense will be the first time."
Brian I can't tell if these are the funniest or saddest comments I have ever read on this blog.
Bleacher Report here we come!
It's depressing, huh?
This site has been more defensive of Willie than many sites I have read. But, Willie Green is only on this team and plays because he has pictures. The only possible reason.
Willie is a nice guy and could be a good bench player but the sooner he is history, the better. There is no question that Meeks was signed to replace Willlie and the time has come to go young.
id be fine with will playing anywhere from 5-8 minutes a night. Anything over would be outragous for a player of his ability. But I do agree with you that he is a great guy
The sixers lack toughness. If you want to win in this league you have to fight and play hard every night. If you don't play hard and smart DC will not play you. That is why Nocioni has been promised 20 minutes a game. Nocioni will also be the vocal leader on the team as we haven't had a leader in years (Brand will help lead under DC). Willie, Lou and Kapono will all see very limited minutes unless they play better defense (Kapono), smarter and harder (Lou) and more consistent (Willie). I don't see either of thore scenarios happening.
Holiday 35 mins
Nocioni 25 mins
Turner 20 mins increasing as year progresses.
Meeks 8 mins
Williams 8 mins decreasing as year progresses.
Lou may play more early taking time from Turner and or Nocioni but as seaon progresses absent of an injury Lou's minutes will dwindle.
That's how I see it.

Shareholders, analysts and the consumer technology industry took a sharp intake of collective breath in the past week when Apple chief executive
The names of the company and the man are intrinsically linked in one of the great American business turnaround stories. From flirting with bankruptcy in the late 1990s, Apple has become the most important technology company in the world.
Jobs has already been sidelined by a rare form of pancreatic cancer and a liver transplant during the past seven years and his third spell away from the company is sending fresh shivers of uncertainty through the market.
Nomura analyst Richard Windsor told Reuters last week that Jobs's absence should not have a fundamental impact on Apple's performance but was still likely to weigh on investor confidence.
"Steve Jobs is seen by the market to be a major force in [setting] Apple's strategic direction. If his pancreatic cancer has returned, one could be quite worried," says Windsor.
News of Jobs's departure was carefully timed for one day before Apple's fourth-quarter results were released. A 78 per cent jump in profit to $US6 billion on record revenue of $US26.7 billion was always going to serve the company well as a distraction.
The Christmas quarter, traditionally Apple's strongest, was packed with goodies – the 7.3 million iPads sold was as many as it had managed in the six months after the launch, while the 16.2 million iPhones sold was also a record.
The result beat Wall Street expectations across the board and analysts were gushing in their praise. Morgan Stanley lifted its Apple target price from $US375 to $US410.
Yet despite the strong end to its financial year, the result cannot gloss over concerns about when, or if, Jobs will return to the helm, and what his departure means for Apple's long-term prospects.
It was January 14, 2009, when Jobs last announced a medical leave of absence, citing a hormone imbalance as the cause of severe weight loss that had industry tongues wagging. Investors took the news badly in the first week, selling down the stock on the Nasdaq from $US87.25 to a close of $US78.20 six days later.
They soon got over it. By the time Apple announced Jobs had returned to work on June 23, 2009, the price had climbed quickly and steadily and closed on $134.01.
Since Jobs announced his latest medical leave last Monday, the market has again been jittery, selling down Apple by 4 per cent, from $US345.16 to close at $US332.68 on Thursday. Gleacher & Co analyst Brian Marshall has predicted the stock could lose 15 per cent in the absence of its iconic chief executive.
Chief operating officer Timothy Cook will again lead in Jobs' absence. He is widely viewed as a safe pair of hands, having stepped up for two months in 2004 and a longer five-month period two years ago while Jobs recovered from surgeries. For the second spell, Cook is credited with keeping iPhone 4 and iPad development running smoothly, increasing Macintosh computer sales and improving financial performance during a time when many competitors were battered by the global financial crisis.
The concern is whether Cook, or anybody else, can provide the vision needed during the next few years to keep Apple ahead of the chasing pack. This year it will launch new versions of the iPhone and iPad, which will be crucial in what happens to the company's leading market position in the short term. Both devices face real competition from an army of new gadgets, many of them running on Google's Android software.
While the iPhone and iPad have both been showered with praise for their aesthetic designs and ease of use, they are essentially one size fits all. You either want one or you don't.
For those who don't, Apple's rivals will offer a broad range of alternatives that will appeal to different types of consumer and business users.
Cook has already fired a warning shot across the bow of his rivals, using last week's first-quarter earnings call to dismiss the current crop of Android tablets as "bizarre" scaled-up smartphones and the next generation as "vapourware" because there is still little information available about features and pricing.
He also said customers were "just not interested" in "big, heavy and expensive" tablets running on Microsoft's Windows 7 software.
For all the bravado from its stand-in boss, Android devices must be a concern for Apple. Smartphones running the software already outsell the iPhone – although latest sales data suggests their growth has come largely at the expense of Research In Motion's BlackBerry – and are the second-biggest smartphone operating system behind Nokia, which is bleeding market share to most of its major rivals.
Beyond the next couple of years, Apple is likely to need another device that the market considers to be a "game changer" if it is to sustain the growth trajectory that was started a decade ago with the launch of the iPod and accelerated with the arrival of the iPhone in 2007 and last year's iPad. That is likely to be the biggest challenge Apple has faced for many years.
"As far as what they've got in place, no doubt they can deliver. But as far as inspiring products you haven't thought up yet, that's what you're going to lose," Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster told The New York Times.
"The problem, really, at the core is that Steve Jobs's inspiration is irreplaceable."

Dear, Dan,
I did want to thank you for working with me in getting our monument put back together. I know there were some unusual circumstances and that you and your company rather went out on a limb to get the materials from yet another company to finish the project.
I tried to get the PO processed on my end as fast as I could and trust the payment has already come from the home office to your company.
One again thank you for getting to the job so fast and thanks also to the crew for doing a nice job.

We, Southwest Baptist Church, Picked Galati & Sons in Nevember 2007 to do work on a church tower, we received 7 different proposals for this same job. The reason that we picked Galati & Sons is because of their upfront and honest answers that they gave us.
In the future if any tuck-point and/or exterior building maintenance needs arise, we will be contacting Galati & Sons and would fully recommend them.Jim Dinkins Property Manager Southwest Baptist Church "
RE: Thank You!!!
I wanted to extend my thanks and gratitude for helping Mills Properties solve a huge amounts of issues in our portfolio the past three years. The quality of work done has been excellent and I really appreciate you being fair with pricing on everything across-the-board.
In most areas of construction that I am responsible for, getting three bids for work is very Important and really standard practice. Whenever I have gotten other tuck-pointing bids you have always been competitive and committed to gaining our business. Now I am to the point where I only trust Galati for masonry work.
I am thankful for the relationship you and I share in here is to a great 2008!!!!

Renovating a century home comes with its fair share of headaches. It was nice doing a project that wasn't accompanied by what we've come to expect as the requisite heartburn. Please feel free to use me as a reference at any time. I'll be talking to you again next year I'm sure.

Volume 13, Issue 1: Musica
Duck Shuler
How did the Genevan Psalter, 1562, come into existence? It was a long process that took place over many years through the efforts of John Calvin. Yet, in the final edition, he penned neither metrical psalm text nor tune. But he had a desire to see the church sing the Psalms. The story is rather complex and involves a study of the thinking of Calvin in regard to music itself. Of all the great reformers, Calvin had the least training in music.

Raleigh Moncrief grew up south of San Francisco, the likely point of origin of the slang term "washed." His debut LP, Watered Lawn, fittingly finds itself caught between the sounds bubbling up from L.A.'s gluggy beat scene and San Francisco's dizzy and lazy cultural influence—although he now lives in the barren wasteland of unsolved budget crises, Sacramento, CA. Watered Lawn reads as an attempt to marry the acoustic, folky tendencies left over from a childhood spent "climbing trees, damming gutters, drawing things and starting fires" in the hippiest place on Earth with the blips and bleeps of computer-made music, a meandering daze of shifting beats and cascading guitars.
A fuzzy analog hum, Moncrief's high indie falsetto and the emotional sweep of his sonic palettes stir up nostalgia reminiscent of Animal Collective and Neon Indian. Even the names of his tracks, like "Time Passed By" and "A Day To Die," are grand, romantic, yearning for something magnificent. Moncrief seems like the kind of skinny mustachioed man who plays with his eyes half-closed, finger-picking the kind of shimmering guitar melodies he employs on tracks like "The Air" and "Waiting For My Brothers Here." His tangled, rapid meanderings across the strings compose perhaps the most interesting elements of Moncrief's LP: Not only are skillful guitar licks a rare addition to beat-minded music, they form the bridge between music plucked from the hands of man and sounds produced by a MacBook. In "The Air," the trill of his guitar melts into chiming synths, a pulsing drum machine and crooning vocals, blending into Moncrief's electrocoustic soundscape.
Moncrief's beats are hard to pin down. They shift constantly, speeding up and slowing down in keeping with the wandering, watery aesthetic of his music. "Lament For Morning" builds its whole emotive sound—the rush of oncoming synth, chopped-up vocals—over a steady beat, but in songs like "A Day To Die" and "The Air" the tempo seems subject to change at the slightest breeze. This lends to the overall feeling that Moncrief's dreamy work is a little unfocused, not entirely in his control and reigned in. As epic and nostalgic as he can seem, Moncrief's lack of focus contributes to a sense of emotional distance. His feelings are broad and general, not like folk-dubstep producer James Blake's tightly controlled, acute and immediate emotional releases. Moncrief's sound leaks in all directions, not quite beat music but not folk, either.

L. Simon Memorial Lecture 2004
New Delhi, January 10, 2005
Prof. Ken Schoolland of Hawaii Pacific University delivered the 2004 Julian L. Simon Memorial Lecture on Jan 10, 2005, in New Delhi. The topic this year was immigration, and Prof Schoolland said that "immigration is the sincerest form of flattery". He acknowledged that if the US was wealthier today, it was due in large part to the creativity and efforts of immigrants, including Indians. He applauded the courage of immigrants who left behind everything that was familiar to chance the hostility of a completely alien culture only in order to find freedom, opportunity and a better life. He also made an interesting comparison of welfare data with immigration of both native-born and foreign-born within the US, and showed that the states with higher welfare benefits did not attract higher proportion of immigrants. The talk prompted an exciting discussion, and its implications for India.
Dr. P. S. Rana, CMD of Housing and Urban Development Corporation, the largest public sector housing company, chairing the lecture, agreed that from his experience, the claim that India cannot sustain a growing urban population was false. There was no shortage of land, only misguided policies that have restricted the availability of land for housing and development, causing the growth of congestion and spread of slums.
The panel discussion following the lecture, chaired by Dr. Shubhashis Gangopadhyay of India Development Foundation, was aimed at looking at some of the issues of immigration in the Indian context. Dr. Abusaleh Sharif, chief economist at National Council for Applied Economics Research in New Delhi, compared the costs and benefits of immigration, internationally as well within India. He suggested that the native citizens could be provided some special privileges in areas like natural resource allocation or certain types of low skill jobs.
Prof. Binod Khadria of Zakir Husain Centre for Educational Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, suggested the need for a more systematic assessment of cost and benefit, real and potential, of international migration. He cautioned that gains of today, might impose costs in the longer term.
Dr. Chetan Ghate of Indian Statistical Institute in New Delhi, said that increasing urbanization and technological progress provided increase opportunity to immigrants seeking to benefit from productivity gains. He argued that gains from movement of labour were far greater today than that due to movement of goods and capital. He pointed out that real wages in US has increased six-fold over the past century, as population moved away from rural and agriculture based activities to more productive economic activities, first in manufacturing and then in services. He suggested generational accounting to take in to account the fact that young and recent migrants generally start out poorer.
Dr Gangopadhyay concluded that rather than worrying about the hazards of immigration, we would do well to focus on the factors that influence people to migrate seeking better opportunities elsewhere, and try to remove those constraints that hinder economic opportunities.
Earlier Dr. Rana also released the Indian edition of Ken Schoolland's internationally popular book "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market Odyssey". The book was published in collaboration with Academic Foundation. The event ended with a luncheon hosted by the Institute
The memorial lecture series have been instituted by Liberty Institute, an independent think tank, to celebrate human potential and achievement, which form the core of much of the late Professor Julian Simon's research and work. Prof. Simon was an economist and demographer at the University of Maryland at College Park, just outside Washington DC.

The Associated Press reported today that Sarah and Todd Palin have released their 2006 and 2007 tax returns. The release concluded:
The McCain-Palin campaign had said the tax returns would be released Monday, but it suddenly put them out Friday afternoon — a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news because few people watch TV or read newspapers Friday evening and Saturday.
Interestingly, Joe and Jill Biden also released tax returns on a Friday. In their case it was September 12. The AP began its report:
Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife on Friday released a decade of their personal financial records, showing a veteran U.S. senator who earned less than many of his congressional colleagues.
Oddly, no mention was made that Friday is "a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news."
Nor did the AP note in today's report that the more than $8,000 donated to charity by the Palins in the last two years more than doubles the charitable contributions of the Bidens for the past ten years.
Perhaps there will be embarrassing information in the Palins' tax returns and that's why they were released on a Friday. But why didn't AP advise its readers of that possibility with the Bidens' returns less than a month ago?
We all know the answer to that question. But it might be embarrassing for the AP to admit it. Maybe the news service should wait until a Friday to reveal the answer.

st: -lookfor_all- now has the ability to search through variable and dataset notes
Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:41:32 -0400 (EDT)
Thanks to Kit Baum the latest version of -lookfor_all- is now available
to be downloaded from the SSC:
. ssc install lookfor_all, replace
The -lookfor_all- help page on the SSC website:
Michael Mitchell suggested that -lookfor_all- should be also able to search
through variable and/or dataset notes if the user wanted to also search for
keywords that might exist in notes so I added the options:
vnotes - also search for words in variable notes
dnotes - also search for words in dataset notes
notes - also search for words in both variable notes and dataset notes
So if you are trying to find a dataset that you have stored away in some
directory, you should be able to use -lookfor_all- to find it by specifying
a keyword or set of keywords that should exist as a variable name, or in a
variable label, or a value label or now in a variable note or dataset note.
-lookfor_all- by default searches through Stata datasets only in the current
directory but can also search through Stata datasets in subdirectories or
through Stata datasets in a whole different directory tree.

EXCLUSIVE: Director and actress and producer Penny Marshall has signed with Shelter Entertainment Group President Alan Iezman for management, and with APA for agency representation in all area. The helmer of such classics as Big, Awakenings (an Oscar Best Picture contender), and A League Of Their Own was the first female director to gross in excess of $100 million at the U.S. box office. Marshall also starred as the iconic LaVerne DeFazio on ABC's hit show Laverne and Shirley from 1976-1983. We all need a little more Penny right now.
Penny Marshall Back In Biz With New Reps
13 Comments
Soooooo much in need. Go Penny!
If we can get another League of Their Own or Big…Hooray!!
Good for APA. Would no one else take her?
Where was she before? Maybe she mistrusts the bigs.
Hooray! We love Penny!!
A director who makes movies for grown-ups that have humor and heart. We could all use a nit of Penny at the multiplex.
The first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear Penny Marshall's name is from the tell-all book "Hit & Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony For A Ride in Hollywood" where the authors revealed that Penny had a huge, yet insanely fragile ego, and the only reason she signed with Columbia/Sony was because she got free use of a private plane.
"huge, yet insanely fragile ego" seems to describe 99% of Hollywood. Welcome back to the club, Penny :) (and in all honesty, I really have missed her films)
Easily three of the best movies of the late 80's-early 90's. Where's she been?
I am so happy Penny's health has improved. Good for her!
YAY! I hope this means she's feeling better!!! Welcome back, Penny!!!!! Boy, have we missed you!!!!
great director, great actress, now has a great manager. can't wait to see what is up for her! alan, great sign, Congratulations
I too hope this means you are feeling better Penny. Good luck and be well and happy always. You deserve that for bringing us so much joy. Thank you.

Luiz Meneghin Converts Howard Stern to Opera With 'Nessun dorma' on 'America's Got Talent'
Luiz Meneghin, a 54-year old nurse for the elderly, did the near-impossible last night (May 15) on 'America's Got Talent.' He converted Howard Stern, who admitted he is "bored to tears" by opera music, to an opera fan with his beautiful, soaring rendition of 'Nessun dorma.'
Meneghin said his patients support him, and told him to "go for it" on 'AGT" since he sings for them daily. Every afternoon after lunch, the patients gather in the lobby and listen to him sing for 30 minutes. In the middle of that feel good story, Stern deadpanned, "So far no casualties? Everyone doing okay?" Meneghin also said he sings to help his charges move their bowels, which would have been prime fodder for Stern to pounce on, but he didn't. This is 'AGT,' not his "anything goes" radio show, and he was respectful.
Meneghin shared his back-story — he is from Brazil, but lives in Utah and his father introduced him to opera at a young age. Stern grilled him on what to expect and his accent. He really asked the right questions, like he would to a guest on his show, and was not hesitant to reveal he has "a tough time with opera."
Well, Luiz made it an easy genre to love. While his eyes did bug out a little while he sang, he hit notes beautifully and is in line with the likes of Andrea Boccelli. When Meneghin wrapped, Stern declared, "You converted me."
It's worth a mention that this is the same song that Paul Potts sang on the British version of the show back in 2007, and he was a huge sensation! It's not the song, though. It's the singers!

Three Reasons to Fund Storytelling
"The universe is made of stories, not of atoms," said poet Muriel Rukeyser.
Just a year ago, Ruykeyser's words proved to be transformational for the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation. As a program officer listening to a grantee report about a local man facing a terrible disease with amazing dignity, I felt called to capture this inspirational story using a medium that could convey its energy. Grantee interim reports are usually full of data, but this was different; this one had soul.
In the past year, we have worked with a visual storytelling expert (Ben Severance of Timber & Frame) to help us tell our donor and grantee success stories. All of our stories are told in the same format used by the first humans as they told stories around the campfire—how one person facing significant odds overcomes the hurdles, resulting in positive change. It's the timeless story that humans are hardwired to understand: the story that shows our hearts why we should care about this cause and inspires us to act.
This post is part of the #CF100 Series of blog posts. The Council on Foundations is marking the 100th anniversary of the nation's first community foundation, The Cleveland Foundation, by highlighting the roles of community foundations with this series.
As a program officer at a foundation, the question I seek to answer every day is "What difference does it make?" After a year of experimenting with storytelling, I have seen the difference it makes. Here are a few examples:
1) Building Community Consciousness: Go Jackson Doll—a mini-documentary about a young boy with autism who participates in a local adaptive skating program serving children with special needs—premiered to a few dozen community leaders recently. The premiere was followed by a public screening attended by several hundred of our neighbors. We then released the film online and over 1,000 people watched it in a single evening. This glimpse into the life of a local family affected by autism provided the opportunity for all sectors of our community to discuss autism, and spurred interest in the adaptive skating program. This year the annual ice show was attended by a record standing room only crowd!
2) Fundraising: We recently launched Different but the Same, a short video highlighting a cross-cultural immersion program that connects international students from a local university and children in rural schools. Our community foundation funds this program, and we were thrilled when an individual who had seen the video was motivated to partially fund the program for three additional years by issuing a challenge grant to encourage other funders to join in his support of the program.
3) Volunteer Recruitment: These short commercials, funded by a Community Foundation grant to the Children's Mentoring Connection, have helped secure so many new mentors that the organization is seeking more children to serve and implementing new delivery methods for mentorship.
As a funder, we are awarding grants to produce videos to help nonprofits share their stories. Simultaneously, we are tapping the magic of storytelling to tell our own story by highlighting community foundation donors, grantee projects, and the foundation's founding story.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 22.0211 Friday, 2 September 2011
Date: September 1, 2011 5:37:00 PM EDT
Subject: CFP for B&L: Shax and Af Am Poetics
Call for Papers: Shakespeare and African American Poetics: Special Issue of Borrowers and Lenders: The Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation in association with The Langston Hughes Review
The editors of Borrowers and Lenders: The Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation (B&L), in association with the editor of the The Langston Hughes Review (LHR), extend a call for essays on the topic of "Shakespeare and African American Poetics." We encourage authors to understand "Poetics" in its most expansive sense. Essays on this rich subject might take as their themes not only the work of Langston Hughes himself but also that of Toni Morrison, Frederick Douglass, Gwendolyn Brooks, Richard Wright, Rita Dove, Gloria Naylor, Natasha Trethewey, Edmonia Lewis, and other luminaries of African American arts. We are keen to encourage essays on "reverse appropriation" too -- i.e. we are not necessarily seeking straightforward "source studies" but interventions in the debates surrounding cultural appropriation as a process that moves back and forth between dominant and minority cultures. Successful essays should contribute toward our understanding of Shakespeare and the artist whose work it engages. In other words, an essay about Toni Morrison and Shakespeare should advance existing scholarship on both Morrison and on Shakespeare.
About the Journals:
The Langston Hughes Review is the official publication of the Langston Hughes Society. LHR welcomes prose and poetry pertaining to Langston Hughes specifically, or more generally to his cultural milieu. It also publishes general articles on literature, culture, and performance, as well as special topics issues. LHR is fully indexed in the MLA Bibliography. LHR is currently edited by Dr. Ron Baxter Miller, University of Georgia.

West Cape Howe Two Steps Shiraz-Viognier 2006
Syrah/Shiraz from Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Color: Deep brick red.
Nose: Berry characters and white pepper abound on the nose with subtle hints of oak.
Palate: The medium bodied palate is soft and luscious. Berry flavors are nicely integrated with spicy white pepper through the mid-palate. Some oak is evident on the finish as is fragrant mixed spice.
Aging: 5-7 years recommended.
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Lifted and highly perfumed, displaying savoury characters; medium-bodied, with real brightness on the finish. Screwcap."
West Cape Howe Winery
The West Cape Howe Winery was purpose built in 1997 as Western Australia's first contract winemaking facility, to provide a much sought after service to the many boutique growers and producers of the Great Southern wine region. In 2000, with a few vintages under their belts, the West Cape Howe range was released.
Renowned winemaker, Gavin Berry, heads the West Cape Howe team. Highly regarded internationally for making world class wines, he joined the team in mid 2004, following a successful 16 year career as CEO for Plantagenet Wines. Gavin's hands on approach in winemaking and marketing makes him an integral part of the Company's ongoing success.
Senior winemaker, Dave Cleary, has already completed six vintages at West Cape Howe. He has grown with the brand since its inception, has overseen the development of the range and has been instrumental in creating West Cape Howe's unique and successful wine styles.
The Company's Landsdale Vineyards, based in the Mt Barker sub-region, form the major fruit source for West Cape Howe. Planted in 1989, the vineyards are now some of the oldest in the area. The properties have approximately 80 hectares currently under vine. View all West Cape Howe Wines
About South AustraliaView a map of South Australia wineries McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley, South Australia produces some of the finest red wines of the country, and some say in the world. White wines gain their reputation from the distinctive Rieslings of Clare Valley and Eden Valley.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

SPEECH BY Mr Lim Hng Kiang, Minister For Trade And Industry, At Singapore Business Awards Ceremony
29 April 2015
Goodrich Global was recently mentioned in the speech by Mr, Lim Hng Kiang, Minister for Trade and Industry, at the 30th Singapore Business Awards Ceremony on the Monday, 27 April at the Resorts World Convention Centre.
The Singapore Business Awards recognise exceptional individuals and enterprises that have displayed visionary drive and enterprising spirit, and chalked up outstanding performance in growing their businesses.
Mr Lim's speech focused on the Government's commitments in supporting our enterprises in developing the capabilities to tap growth opportunities, thrive and become globally competitive. These areas will encourage innovation and raise productivity in existing sectors, invest in future growth sectors, help our companies tap international markets, and invest in our workforce to ensure that they have the skills to benefit from the new opportunities.
Charting Future Growth
For the next phase of Singapore's growth it must strengthen Singapore as a sustainable innovation-driven economy. We must continue to develop our existing sectors and uplift their productivity, so as to have the capabilities to compete and thrive in the global economy, and that Singaporeans are equipped with the skills to contribute and benefit from the good jobs which will be created.
Helping our companies tap innovation and restructure
Budget 2015 emphasised innovation as a key strategy to help our enterprises achieve productivity-driven growth, strengthen their value proposition and to differentiate themselves from the competition. The measures in Budget 2015 build on the groundwork which has been laid by agencies such as A*STAR and SPRING, in helping our enterprises leverage technology and innovation to enhance competitiveness and drive top-line growth.
To help our companies tap innovation, a range of government assistance schemes are available. For companies just starting on innovation, SPRING offers the Innovation and Capability Voucher (ICV), which supports SMEs in the development and implementation of simple solutions to improve business efficiency and productivity.
Investing in Our People
As we create better economic opportunities and jobs, we must ensure that Singaporeans are well-equipped to take on the new roles that will be available. To nurture the relevant skill-sets and mind-sets in our workforce, the SkillsFuture initiative was announced at Budget 2015. Through SkillsFuture, we will put in place the structures and processes to enable Singaporeans to develop and learn the relevant skillsets as they progress through their lives – from formal schooling, throughout their careers and until retirement.
Business owners and industry leaders here are strongly encouraged to support the SkillsFuture initiative and to continually invest in your employees. To date, Goodrich Global is one of the of employers have already come on board. Goodrich Global, which was recently named the Best SME Employer in Singapore 2015 by HR consulting firm Aon Hewitt. The company's commitment to good HR practices has allowed it to keep its employees engaged, support training programmes suggested by employees, and keep employee retention rates high. Goodrich has benefited from SPRING's assistance schemes to optimise their business operations and develop HR capabilities so as to enable Singaporeans in our SMEs to benefit from good working environments which support higher employee productivity.
Enabling Trade and Internationalisation
Given Singapore's small domestic market, internationalisation will continue to be a key economic strategy. In the immediate region, new opportunities for our businesses arising from the realisation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) as a single market and production base. Singapore businesses have already benefitted from the various AEC initiatives. Localcompanies can export most products to other ASEAN markets duty-free, and enjoy greater ease of trade through measures such as mutual recognition agreements. In the area of services and investment, there are now more opportunities for Singapore companies to participate in sectors which were previously closed off to foreign investors.

Miller looking out for the children of Jeannette
Originally hailing from Kittanning, Patricia "Trich" Miller moved to Jeannette when she married city resident Ted Miller.
Ted Miller went to college at the Kittanning Extension of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and boarded with her aunt, which is how the couple met and started dating. During that time, Ted Miller was drafted but when he came home from the service the couple married and settled in Jeannette.
Prior to her marriage, Trich Miller had worked as a beautician and did the same for a few years after moving to Jeannette. Upon the birth of her children, Eric and Jason, she decided to become a stay-at-home-mother.
Over the years, Ted Miller worked at various hospitals in the area as a cytologist. Trich Miller was very active with her boys and helping out at school. Eric and Jason graduated from Penn Trafford High School.
Eric attended the Art Institute in Pittsburgh where he earned a degree in graphic design. He is married to the former Tina Veltri. The couple resides in Monroeville with their three children, Giana, 10, Adee, 8, and Eric, 6.
Eric works part-time for Toys-R-Us and cares for the three children and his disabled mother-in-law, while his wife works full-time as a school counselor for the Woodland Hills School District.
Jason went to Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in restaurant management. For many years he worked for Restaurant Depot in Pittsburgh, but currently is employed by Famous Supply as a district manager.
He is married to the former Maria Gongloff of Pitcairn and the couple resides in Penn Township with their two children, Logan, 10, and Cole, 7.
"Giana and Logan were both born on the same day at the same hospital. I knew both my daughter-in-laws were pregnant, but I didn't know their due dates were the same," said Trich Miller. "Both girls went into the hospital at 8 p.m. the night before and my granddaughter Giana was born at 4 a.m. and my grandson Logan was born at 7 p.m. It was very exciting."
It is evident that Miller loves children when she speaks about her grandchildren. This is also a fact not lost on the children in Jeannette, where Miller has been a playground counselor and supervisor at the Jeannette Recreation summer playground program for the past eight years.
The program runs for 10 weeks each summer from 10 a.m. in the morning to 4 p.m. in the afternoon. During that time children ages 6 through 10, play games, participate in a reading program and get lunch daily.
"I wish I could do it every day," said Miller. "I love the kids. They are generally wonderful. They come back and see me. It is very touching. You touch their lives, but in return they have touched your life. It is a wonderful program for the City of Jeannette, and I love it so much."
Miller is also very active at the First Presbyterian Church where she is a member. For 15 years, she was in charge of the food pantry. She is currently involved in the choir, she has been a deacon and has served on a number of committees including the worship and property committees.
Miller is also an avid gardener and enjoys spending time outside.
Anyone interested in summer recreation, gardening, or volunteering can get to know neighbor Trich Miller.

Genesis 1-3 and The Documentary Hypothesis (again)
December 5, 2008 by 8 Comments
As scholars have noted for some time, and as I shall argue here, there are quite clearly two creation stories that presently exist side by side in Genesis chapters one through three, and which derive from two different sources which have been edited or redacted together.[1] The first source is the account of creation found in Genesis 1.1-2.4a (or, as some scholars might argue, Genesis 1.1-2.3), and is typically known as "P" (which stands for "Priestly," as it is believed to have been written and … [Read more...]

The late, longtime New Yorker critic Pauline Kael was said to have expressed confusion over Richard Nixon's landslide re-election in 1972 — because no one she knew had voted for him. To borrow that notion, conservatives today imagine that everyone views the current occupant of the White House as they do: Barack Obama is the worst President ever. Conventional wisdom posits that this potent right-wing, anti-Obama sentiment will diminish the President's power — enough for Republicans to vanquish Democrats in November, regain control of Congress and weaken the incumbent for 2012.
These Obama-hating wingnuts are actually his secret weapon

Declaration Of Faith
The Apostles' Creed
This historic affirmation of faith comes to us from the early
centuries of the Christian church.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit;
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
The holy catholic church; *
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting.
* Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
believers in Christ, not just one particular church.

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord,
Rev. Bill McGinnis <><
The many problems and demands of this life, which the Bible calls "the cares of this world," can easily overwhelm us if we let them. We feel we must do this or that; we must plan for this or that; we must somehow deal with this or that etc., etc., etc.
The Bible recognizes this situation, and the difficulties it can cause.
Mark 4:19 (KJV) "And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."So what should we do when the cares of our world seem to close in on us, causing distress and confusion?
WE SHOULD CAST OUR CARES ON JESUS! Jesus is our Lord and our Saviour. We have given ourselves to Him, so we now belong to Him. He has been given all power in Heaven and Earth, so we should let Him take care of these things for us. We should let Him figure things out and tell us what to do. Our job is to do whatever He clearly tells us to do. His job is to arrange the big plans. We are overstepping our boundaries when we feel we have to figure everything out for ourselves.
Here are some Scriptures I have found on this subject.
Matthew 11:29-31 (KJV) "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." John 14:27 (KJV) "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Romans 14:17 (KJV) "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (KJV) "Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all." Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV) "Be careful (filled with care, anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." 1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV) "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."
O Lord, when I feel troubled and distressed, By all the cares and problems in this world, I pray that You will calm my anxious mind, And give to me Your peace within my heart. I pray You now do take my cares away, As I, Your servant, cast them onto You. In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.NOTE: If you have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, you can do so now by clicking => HERE! or HERE!

O Lord, I had You with me, and I strayed. I turned my back on You and went away. But now I see the error of my ways, And now I want to turn again to you. * * * I pray that You will come into my life, As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me. I know that You are truly Son of God, I know that You have risen from the dead, I know that only You can save my soul. I need Your guidance, and I need Your love; I want to follow everywhere You lead. I truly do repent of all my sins; I feel remorse for evil I have done; I know that only You can make me clean. I turn my back on sin and look to You. I am forgiving all who did me harm, As You are now forgiving all my sins. And now as I commit myself to You, I pray that You commit Yourself to me. I pray that You will take me as I am, And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.

You'd never guess that this chocolate truffle slice has only four ingredients plus a little water. Essentially just a ganache with a little toffee nut crunch, let it chill for a few hours and you have yourself a lovely smooth chocolatey bar that tastes like a grown-up version of Toblerone. It makes an interesting yet low-key post-dinner sweet when served with a little port, and can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Store the praline in an airtight container to keep it crisp, and assemble before dinner.
This is great base recipe, and there are so many possibilities for experimentation with mix-ins and flavoring. You can substitute macadamias or almonds for the hazelnuts in the praline, or mix a little liqueur or citrus zest into the truffle mixture. S'mores ingredients, chili, cocoa nibs, toffee pieces, candied fruit would all be dandy too… I'd better stop before I have to make another batch…
Adapted from a Nestle recipe | Serves 12
1/3 / 45g cup chopped hazelnuts
3/4 cup / 165g bakers sugar
1/3 cup / 80ml water
1/3 cup / 80ml heavy cream
14 oz / 400g bittersweet chocolate, chopped *
Special Equipment
9×5 loaf pan
Non-stick parchment paper
Pastry Brush
Food processor
Grease loaf pan and line with non-stick baking parchment. Set aside.
Place silpat on baking tray. Place nuts in a small pan and stir over a low heat until golden brown and lightly toasted. Immediately pour out of pan onto silpat, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Place sugar and water in a small pan. Stir over a low heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Brush down sides of pan with wet pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals.
Bring mixture to boil over a medium-high heat and boil until mixture is dark golden (about 6-7 minutes). Do not stir mixture while boiling. Note: once mixture starts to change color it can burn quickly so watch very carefully.
Remove from heat immediately and pour over nuts on silpat. Set aside to cool at room temperature. When hard, break into large pieces, and place half praline in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
Place cream in a large pan and bring almost to a boil over a medium-low heat. Add chocolate, turn heat to low and stir until melted and smooth. Remove mixture from heat and stir in crushed praline.
Pour into prepared loaf pan and place in refrigerator for 2-3 hours or overnight, until firmly set.
To Serve: Remove from pan, place on plate and top with leftover praline. If you want to cut it into perfect slices, remove from fridge for a while then use a sharp knife. I prefer to eat it cold from the fridge in chunks hacked off with a cheese knife!
* A note on the chocolate – I used half 70% cacao and half 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate. You may want to dial down the cacao percentage if you don't like really strong, dark chocolate.

text: UK 15 February 2011 Why Ed Miliband's Sun article is a significant moment Unlike some in his party, the leader believes Labour must engage with the tabloid. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Tweet When Tony Woodley tore up a copy of the Sun at the 2009 Labour party conference and Harriet Harman mocked the paper's "news in briefs", it seemed as if the relationship between Labour and the tabloid was at an end. But Ed Miliband's decision to write an op-ed piece for the paper attacking David Cameron's stance on crime suggests he takes a different view. In his first conference speech as leader, Miliband memorably declared: "[W]hen Ken Clarke says we need to look at short sentences in prison because of high reoffending rates, I'm not going to say he's soft on crime." He hasn't broken that promise, but he has adopted a notably tougher tone. Here's the key passage: Before the election Mr Cameron made promise after promise to get elected. He promised to protect front-line services but now we find he is cutting 10,000 police officers. He promised a prison sentence for anyone caught in possession of a knife and then broke his word. He promised there would be "honesty in sentencing". But he broke that promise, too. Bluff on crime, bluff on the causes of crime – the worst kind of politics. Miliband may have argued that "the era of New Labour has passed" yet he isn't afraid to borrow tricks from the Tony Blair playbook. The Labour leader's decision to adopt a policy of constructive engagement towards the tabloid that dubbed him "Red Ed" does much to explain his stance on another issue – phone-hacking. As the NS blogger Dan Hodges recently revealed, an email sent on behalf of Miliband's director of strategy, Tom Baldwin (a former Times man) warned Labour's front bench not to link the hacking scandal with the BSkyB bid and to "guard against anything which appears to be attacking a particular newspaper group out of spite". We now have a better idea why. Few political strategists would argue against engaging with a paper whose circulation remains above three million, but Miliband has also sensed a political opportunity. The Sun is no fan of coalition politics and the compromises it involves, and it recently launched a campaign against Ken Clarke's prisons policy (an editorial last week called for the Justice Secretary's head). Miliband's intervention, like his decision to come out against votes for prisoners, proves that he isn't afraid to use populism to Labour's advantage. As the coalition's troubles deepen, expect to see a lot more of this. › Morning Call: pick of the papers George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

Judge tells UPMC, city to look into copying Ravenstahl's computer
A federal judge on Monday ordered UPMC and Pittsburgh to let her know by Thursday whether they can make a mirror image of the data on the work computer former Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl took home around the time he left office.
UPMC has asked U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti to allow it to question Ravenstahl and have a specialist examine the computer to determine whether he deleted evidence relevant to a legal battle between the medical giant and the city.
Lee Neubecker, president of Forensicon Inc., said a full forensic image of the computer is a snapshot of "every zero and one that's visible on the hard drive." Forensicon is a Chicago-based consulting company that specializes in computer forensics.
Using that image, an expert can search for deleted files and access social media caches and other data that simply copying the active files to a new drive wouldn't capture, he said.
"It would be the same as if you were looking at the original drive," Neubecker said.
The city is claiming in state court that UPMC doesn't meet the definition of a public charity and should be required to pay property and payroll taxes. UPMC claims in federal court that the city's challenge violates its constitutional rights.
The judge last fall issued a preservation order in response to UPMC's concern that changes in city hall would cause evidence to disappear. Ravenstahl served more than seven years as mayor before his tenure ended in early January, when Mayor Bill Peduto took office.
Since the Peduto administration handed the computer over to the FBI, there's a good chance federal investigators have made a mirror image or have sealed the computer to preserve evidence, Neubecker said.
The city and Ravenstahl said in a court filing last week that the former mayor did not delete anything during the 10 days in December and January when he had the computer at his house.
When Ravenstahl returned the computer, Peduto's administration turned it over to the FBI because of the federal investigation into the city's operations under the Ravenstahl administration.

NFL "very, very concerned" about Haslam
(Knoxville, TN) - Did the NFL make a mistake?
Accoring to a story in USA TODAY, league leaders are worried that approving Haslam as the Browns owner may end up reflecting poorly on the NFL.
"The league is very, very concerned," a person with key business dealings with the NFL and multiple owners told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
You'd think the NFL might have gained a whiff that this was coming while vetting the billionaire who heads one of the nation's largest family-owned businesses. The feds launched their investigation in May 2011.
Not so.
"The NFL was completely blind-sided by this," the business associate said. "The NFL found out when the records were seized. That's not a good time to find out."
At a short news conference Friday, Haslam said he hasn't done anything wrong and isn't stepping aside. Haslam says the company needs steady management now more than ever.
Haslam spoke to reporters in Knoxville a day after a federal court unsealed an FBI affidavit in an ongoing investigation of customer rebate fraud at Pilot Flying J.
Haslam plans to make another statement this afternoon. "Due to the ongoing investigation, Haslam will not take questions, but his statement about the actions the company plans to take is significant and should help to answer the media's questions," a media advisory said.
Newsradio WTAM 1100 plans to air the news conference live.
The pilot headquarters was raided Monday by federal agents after employees told the FBI and said in secretly recorded conversations that Haslam knew his sales staff was improperly cutting rebates to pilot's diesel fuel customers.
The company is a chain of truck stops the Haslam family owns. No charges have been filed.
Meanwhile, a lawsuit was filed Saturday in Knox County, Tenn. circuit court against Pilot Flying J relating to those rebate funds.
FOX 8 News reports that Atlantic Coast Carriers and Wooten Enterprises president and CEO Olin Wooten claims the company did not receive rebates for a number of years.
"As the owner of the Browns, one would have hoped that Haslam's company would treat those upon whom he relied for success as he bargained to do," said Mark Tate, the attorney representing Wooten Enterprises.
On Sunday, Tate released a statement to Fox 8 News that said, "Tate Law Group is confident that not only are the facts and the law in our favor but so is the public sentiment. We are pleased and privileged to represent solid companies like Atlantic and others like it in these cases against Haslam and his company in this litigation. We expect to prevail."
Atlantic Coast Carriers is a trucking company in Hazlehurst, Georgia.
Haslam is expected to be in Cleveland this week to prepare for Thursday's NHL Draft.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Yes, it is "legal" to do that if that is written in your company policy on how you collect a urine drug screen.
Either as an employment screening or random drug screens, the employee needs to be made aware of that policy and sign a form saying that they are made aware of the policy and agree to comply to submitting to the tests.
So this is company specific really on how to collect the urine. They should not be allowed to bring in their urine, that would NOT be a good practice.
This can be a little confusing with a urine drug screen that is being used to incriminate someone in a court of law. Those procedures and chain of custody are stricter and of a different legal nature.
I understand. One way so that you will not have to be "present" while they are urinating is to have an area without a sink, color the water blue so they can't "DIP" toilet water, get urine cups that have a temperature reading on them, make them empty out pockets and no purses when entering the bathroom.
You would need to be sure to include in the policy that they will be observed while giving the urine sample for a drug screening test. If they consent to that then there is no legal issue. If they don't then you can also state that employment may not be offered, if they do not comply with the procedure.
You would have to have the same procedure for everyone or they could holler discrimination!
