Many corporations reduced their donations to all kinds of charities in 2009 as a result. I believe a reason for a good portion of the decline in donations to the Second Mile were purely economical, although I do believe some would also be related to the Sandusky investigation.<br /><br />As for US Steel, the market price of steel saw a record spike in 2007 to 2008, leading to a huge jump in profits for many steel producers, which could have lead to an increase in donations to charities. But this was followed by a record price drop for steel in 2009, which created significant issues for many steel producers worldwide that they are still dealing with today.

If we've learned anything from this scandal, it should be NOT to believe anything the press has written about it (see Pulitzer Prize Winner Sara Ganim's error filled articles).<br /><br />The article in question was a regurgitation about Paterno's investment in the Villages at Penn State, which contained false information that Paterno would receive 15% interest. Penn State's financial statements list all the bond issuances and no bond were even close to 15%. The most was 5.25%. So, that article is nonsense.<br /><br />And the Villages went belly up, but the dishonest writer of the article didn't tell you that until 3/4 of the way into the article.<br /><br />The investment in a bottled water company was not with anyone associated with Second Mile. A complete fabrication by unknown.<br /><br />The articles throw out the idea of Paterno investing in a "coaching website" and "a chain of convenience stores" but provide no supporting details. Unknown has also tied these investments to the Second Mile.<br /><br />So, as long as Unknown wants to come on here and post nonense, I will keep hitting the "Delete" button.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-1079643609368474942013-01-15T14:03:55.534-05:002013-01-15T14:03:55.534-05:00Don't want to go off subject, however it sound...Don't want to go off subject, however it sounds like Carole may have unearthed some good dirt on Mr. Dambly.

And where there is smoke, there is fire (I'm convinced Rakowitz and wife are dirty!) <br /><br />I do suggest, however, that most folks who donated to Second Mile were donating to a cause that they thought was good - remember Second Mile was one of the 1,000 points of light... I took a look at the donors to the Second Mile ages ago and gave it up - because there are so many good names on the list (Anthony Lubrano being a prime example - dollars to donuts, he thought he was donating to a good cause!) Shreyer foundation, banks, auto repair places, sporting good stores, insurance companies... <br /><br />I'm much more interested in who the Second Foundation (and Rakowitz and wife and Sandusky himself) donated to! :)<br /><br />That being said - thank you, again Ray! The whole it going to be way more than the sum of its parts. LOOKING FORWARD TO FEBRUARY!!!<br />:)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348504759980078841noreply@blogger.com
