Thanks so much.<br /><br />And thank you, Vickie, for your years of helping families through medical ordeals. What I've learned, the heartbreaking way, is that even when the primary cancer can be dealt with, "complications" can destroy the patient. In my family's ordeal it was the actions of greedy, unethical physicians and one or two of their staff who committed debilitating acts on my folks that they physically couldn't overcome.<br /><br />I believe Jon is suggesting that in the Sandusky/ PSU ordeal, complicators are at work as well... likely greedy, unethical individuals... and that for true health to be achieved, these individuals and their motives must be revealed and dealt with.<br /><br />And that's precisely where the efforts of PSU alumni, notpsu, John Ziegler, and the Paterno family are leading. Congrats on your success to date! And best wishes for the fortitude to see it all through to the end.<br /><br />Beckyrdkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007253694089460950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-68529576492823398312013-06-20T13:11:02.133-04:002013-06-20T13:11:02.133-04:00Eileen...I spent 41.5 years in healthcare as an RN...Eileen...I spent 41.5 years in healthcare as an RN in Critical Care and Finance...You have given the readers the PERFECT descrcription of how cancer cells affect the body and I LOVE your analogyusing PSU...*applauding w.standing ovation*...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564093303697608512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-59015785173468958712013-06-20T12:13:03.124-04:002013-06-20T12:13:03.124-04:00Great post!
I find it interesting that the Judge ...Great post!<br /><br />I find it interesting that the Judge reviewing the State’s attempt to keep the NCAA money in-state had the following stance...<br /><br />“President Judge Dan Pelligrini peppered Haverstick on whether Corman and McCord's true fight isn't with Penn State, as the recipient of state funds that would be moving the fine proceeds in violation of the new law.”<br /> (http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2013/06/sen_jake_corman_defends_effort.html#/0)<br /><br />Which is basically asking the question…Why didn’t the Senators sue Penn State for agreeing to pay the 60 million dollar fine to the NCAA through the consent decree?<br /><br />This is the same question I had after reviewing the Paterno et al lawsuit….Why didn’t the lawsuit name Penn State (aka BOT and specifically Frazier) as a defendant??? I think if we revisit the following post by Eileen it might help connect some dots.<br /><br />http://notpsu.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-closer-look-at-freehs-engagement.html#comment-form<br /><br />If you go to the comments …<br /> Rums DuMarch 20, 2013 at 3:17 PM<br />"Clients indemnifying consultants or lawyers is a fairly common practice and I'm sure it is very common for Freeh to include this as part of all of his engagements. This is because clients can intentionally withhold information that consultants may not be aware of. In this case, obviously Freeh knows the Task Force wants to point blame at Spanier, Schultz, Curley, and Paterno, so he would not want to be at legal risk for providing what the Task Force is asking. <br /><br />All of this was well understood by all parties involved. This was not carelessness or negligence, it is blatant dishonesty. And of course the BOT will go out of it's way to defend the report because they are now legally liabile for any possible civil claims brought on by individuals identified in the Freeh report. This defense would also include not challeging the NCAA sanctions, because to challenge the sanctions, is to challenge the Freeh report, which would then open up a possibility for civil suits.<br /><br />Also, including a representative of Corbett's administration, Sec Education Ron Tomalis, on the Task Force allows Corbett to further influence the Freeh report and keep Corbett aware of everything that goes on with its construction. And with Corbett a representative of the State of PA and previously being in charge of investigating Sandusky as AG, why would this report ever include anything that goes against the interests of the Attorney General's office? To say this would be a conflict of interest is putting it very mildly."<br /><br />So as I try to connect the dots I have come to the following conclusions…<br /><br />1) By suing the NCAA the Paterno et al lawsuit is in essence attacking the credibility of the Freeh Report (I don’t think anyone can dispute that). <br /><br />2) If the Paterno et al lawsuit is successful in proving the Freeh Report is filled with slanderous errors and unsupported conclusions then Penn State is liable according to the Freeh Engagement Letter.<br /><br />3) If Penn State is forced to defend themselves in a court of law they will finally be forced to answer the questions that many concerned individuals have been asking from the second the Task Force fired the administrators and Paterno. <br /><br />4) The chemo and radiation that killed of Surma and Peetz just wasn’t strong enough to eliminate the main tumor (Frazier). However, once Fraizer is forced to speak under oath and the full diagnosis completed, the main tumor (Frazier) can be cut out of Penn State and then PSU can hopefully begin the healing process. <br /> <br />5) The task of cutting cancer out of Pennsylvania is much larger and complicated issue that will hopefully be diagnosed by Kane. I speculate that Tomalis will be a key component of her investigation as he is the direct link between the BOT's Investigative Committee and Corbett. Is it coincidence that Tomalis was just replaced as Secretary of Education…??? <br /><br />http://www.phillytrib.com/cityandregionarticles/item/9305-pa-education-secretary-on-his-way-out.html<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871624939951280393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-27956078341535510662013-06-20T12:00:12.081-04:002013-06-20T12:00:12.081-04:00Eileen, I have always had the opinion that not all...Eileen, I have always had the opinion that not all the BoT have been apart of this tragedy but are afraid for their positions on the B.
