		Amanda Tucker of the Nike Labor Practices department claimed that Phil Knight had met his 1998 promise to fund four major university studies that would research labor and wage practice issues in Nike subcontract factories.

	BBC - h2g2 - Shihad/Pacifier - the Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Phil Knight is the lead guitarist and synth player, who eschews extended guitar solos for more emphasis on heavy and melodic riffs.
		As the band matured, they began to take in influences from more distinctly New Zealand (NZ) acts such as the Skeptics and Bailterspace (and other music on the iconic NZ record label Flying Nun).
		Here their NZ influences were more apparent - the opening line to 'You Again' mimicked the ballad 'I Hope I Never' by renowned NZ band Split Enz - but the sound had at the same time become more melodic and more distinctly Shihad's own.

		In the 20 months since majority shareholder Phil Knight and his son, Travis Knight, forced him out of his old studio (which he founded in 1975, and which will change its name this year), Vinton has been thinking about the future and the lessons he can pass on.
		Within six months of Knight's assuming majority ownership, however, Vinton was gone, ankling the board in mid-April after Farnath laid him off from his staff position.
		In late May, Vinton filed a $3.1 million suit against Knight, Knight's son and two other board directors with Nike ties, claiming he was unfairly forced out without adequate compensation.

	Shihad - The General Electric Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		It sickens me that Shihad are so widely 'known' to be NZ's 'top rock band' - there are so many NZ bands that are extremely better than them, in so many ways.
		But these bands will never get any real recognition, because NZ's music economy is utter crap, and the NZ-based recording companies are so narrow-minded that they will not try anything new unless it has been proven to be popular overseas...
		But I'd like to see NZ as a whole, take on the music industry and make it into something a hell of a lot better than it currently is. If not for my generation, at least for those to come.
