The first collective act of professional basketball players under the NBPA was a threat to strike just before the 1964 NBA All-Star Game. Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation. The NBPA filed a class-action lawsuit, also known as the Oscar Robertson lawsuit, against the merger between two basketball leagues, the NBA, and the ABA (American Basketball Association) in April 1970.

    Stan J. Caterbone ADVANCED MEDIA GROUP ® Freedom From Covert Harassment & Surveillance, Registered in Pennsylvania 1250 Fremont Street Lancaster, PA 17603 www.amgglobalentetainmentgroup.com [email protected] 717-669-2163 April 28, 2016 Me and Paul Allen, the Co-Founder of Microsoft In 1987 I was lending money in both the commercial mortgage banking arena and also looking at possible investments as a general partner with the network of financial professionals from my company, Financial Management Group, Ltd.,. We had raised $90 million dollars in investments in our first nine months of operation, August of 1986 to June of 1987. One of my clients was Reginald Pattey and his wife. Reg was an executive for RCA Corporation, which later became Burhle Industries. Reg had informed me that Harold Krall was forming a new company, which was later named Cardinal Technologies, and asked me to see if there was an opportunity for me to fund the start-up. Now, also in the mix was a close college friend of mine named Tom Circe, who had taken over his father's position as Director of Personnel at RCA. Now, of course it never came to fruition because of me blowing the whistle on International Signal and Control, or ISC in June of 1987. Fast forward to the beginning of Advanced Media Group and my work at American Helix at 1857 Colonial Village Lane, Lancaster, PA, or Dale High's Greenfield Industrial Park. For the record, American Helix was funded through my company Financial Management Group, Ltd., when Dave Deering solicited Scott Robertson for financing for American Helix after a deal with an Angel Investor fell through.

Raised in a non-religious household, Judaism never played a large role in his life. Today, he's a reggae singer who is gar- nering attention, raising some eyebrows and receiving accolades from critics all over. Things have changed in the past few years. Over the course of time, the dreads turned into peyyot; he traded in his baggy pants for black slacks and the raps have turned into reggae. Matthew Miller became Matisyahu. Now going by his Hebrew name, the 25- year-old Lubavitcher from Crown Heights is definitely an uncommon face in the reg- gae scene, wearing traditional Hasidic garb of black hat, black coat and long black beard. "The image is not something people are used to seeing. It's really a trip for peo- ple. I think hopefully once people hear the “...yiddishkeit is the music, the music speaks for itself and they'll get into it," he says. emes, the truth. I bring Matisyahu's music brings to the fore a unique fusion of styles, from Bob Marley to that with me and I think Jewish folk singer Shlomo Carlebach, yet remains original.

  • Blazermania Review
    BlazerMania Review By: Wayne Thompson "BlazerMania: This Is Our Story" is the official history of the Portland Trail Blazers, a smartly designed and edited coffee-table book full of gorgeous photographs that show how the team and the city have grown up together. There's one document, stuck on a page that shows fans celebrating the Blazers' only championship, that's worth more than a thousand pictures or 100,000 words. It's the score sheet from game six of the NBA Finals, and on one line is the reason why thousands of fans poured into the streets to celebrate on June 5, 1977, a warm day in late spring: In 42 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers, Bill Walton had 20 points, 23 rebounds, 8 blocked shots and 7 assists. All the talk about the 1977 Blazers being one of the greatest teams in NBA history is true. The 76ers were full of future coaches (Henry Bibby, Doug Collins, Mike Dunleavy) who marveled at how balanced and unselfish the Blazers were, but Julius Erving was a little disingenuous when he talked about Portland and said "no part was greater than the whole." The Blazers did play the way basketball is meant to be played, with precision and flair and a one-for-all attitude, but they weren't going anywhere without Walton. Wayne Thompson, the author of "BlazerMania" and a former beat reporter for The Oregonian who has seen more than 2,000 Blazer games, rightly calls Walton "an all-time winner." In high school in San Diego, in college at UCLA, and in a pro career that included championships in Portland and Boston, Walton was all about the team.
