Disrespecting a veteran

Martz Still "Clamoring" For A Veteran Back-up QB, Angelo Sees Han
2011-03-09 02:03:00 To my surprise, Tribune writer Brad Briggs wrote an article which disclosed Martz continual "zeal" for a veteran back-up QB (see article). Martz doesn't seem to get-it, last year's excursion with a veteran QB fall harder than a house of cards. Then we all witnessed Calab Hanie breath "life" into a "dead" Bear offense in the NFC Title Game, but that wasn't enough for the "bull-headed" Martz.Bear Fans, at this point I'm "thoroughly" convinced that Mike Martz doesn't care about what works. Martz has been drinking his own bath-water so long that the only way he sees, is his way. With that said, I believe it's time for Angelo and Smith to "impose" their will on Martz, and give him...

The Department of Veteran Affairs Ushers in Mentor-Protg Program
2011-01-17 16:15:00 By: Edward T. DeLisle On December 22, 2010, the VA announced that it had selected the first twenty (20) mentor-protégé teams to participate in its newly minted Mentor-Protégé Program. The program is designed to assist firms that have already been verified as veteran-owned or service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses by the VA. Eligible firms are permitted to team with mentors, who are expected to provide developmental assistance to their protégé(s). In return for providing assistance to protégé firms, the VA has stated that mentors can expect “proposal evaluation consideration” with regard to proposals submitted on “best value” solicitations. Moreover, large business prime contractors serving as mentors can receive subcontracting plan credits in connection with a specific VA contract. Protégé firms are limited to one mentor at a time and can only participate in the program twice. Th...

John Harris, A Seasoned Veteran Who Knows About Cutting Deals!
2010-06-23 01:25:00 John Harris, Blago's former chief of staff, has been testifying for the government the last couple of days. Harris was someone close to my heart when I worked in City Hall. I dealt with John Harris on numerous occasions because he was a "Big Kahuna" in the Daley Administration as his Budget Director. So, if you needed a quick fix to a line item in your budget of some extra 'dough' for a job, Harris was the man. In fact, a few years back, I was sitting in Harris's office when he cryptically said - "Your friend called my friend and my friend called me to help your friend" - TRANSLATION: Robert Sorwich, Daley's Patronage Chief, who was Harris' friend received...

New VA Veteran-Owned Small Business Verification Guidelines
2010-02-21 19:47:00 A Final Rule governing Service Disabled Veteran-Owned small Business Concerns (“SDVOSB”) was published in the Federal Register on February 8, 2010. This law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) to verify ownership and control of veteran-owned small businesses, including service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The final rule also defines the eligibility requirements for businesses to obtain “verified'' status, explains examination procedures, and establishes records retention and review processes. As reported by Jason Miller, the Executive Director of Federal News Radio in an article published in the SDVOSB Blog, Veteran-Owned and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses must have only one business in the federal contract set-aside program and work in that business full time. The article, entitled “VA Sets Rules for Set-Aside Program,” also emphasizes that “The net effect of this change is that a company ...
Fraud, Abuse and the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Program
2009-12-04 20:38:00 By: Edward T. DeLisle In recent testimony provided to the House of Representative’s Committee on Small Business, a disturbing fact was revealed: millions of dollars earmarked for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (“SDVOSBs”) have been paid to companies that do not qualify for the program. Compounding the problem is the fact that insufficient fraud-prevention programs exist to effectively combat such abuses. This was the conclusion reached by United States Government Accountability Office (the “GAO”) following a case study that included an investigation of ten (10) companies claiming SDVOSB eligibility. In 2008 alone, $6.5 billion in federal contracts were awarded to companies that self-certified themselves as SDVOSBs. While this figure only represents 1.5% of all government contracts paid in that fiscal year, it is still a very large number. If the federal government ever attains its mandated goal of 3%, many more billions will become available ...

AHL veteran rules explained
2009-10-18 20:28:00 It is worth repeating what was written earlier about American Hockey League veteran rules, first because what was first written wasn't accurate, and second because I suspect that we're going to be hearing about Chris Chelios in Burgundy very soon.-- First, veteran rules do not apply to goalies. -- Second, there needs to be at least 12 non-veterans on the ice, unless there are fewer than 18 skaters. -- Third, skaters who have played more than 260 qualified games are considered veterans. -- Fourth, skaters who have played more than 260 qualified games, but less than 321 qualified games are considered veteran exempt. In other words, if a team dresses 18 skaters in a game, up to six can be...

Bill Faith, Small Town Veteran, RIP
2009-01-18 19:02:00 I was saddened to learn, this morning of the passing of Bill Faith, by way of Michelle… He died of a heart attack and had been in ill health. Bill ran the blog Small Town Veteran and founded/contributed to Old War Dogs. I linked to his work many times over the years. He was also a valuable commenter here at mm.com. A Vietnam veteran, Bill was a stalwart defender of our armed forces and, as you can see from his blog, a man who loved his family. He described himself as “Baby boomer, nerdy kid, Viet Nam veteran, engineer, daddy, grandpa. Politically incorrect. Proud anti-idiotarian.” The epigram at the top of his personal blog: “For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know.” There are so many things I could say at this point, but will not. Argghhh!, BLACKFIVE, Confederate Yankee and Old War Dogs all have more, of course. No tags for this post. Related posts No related posts.
