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.

PinoyBlogoSphere.com - A Newbie’s Unsure Promises or a Veteran’
2008-06-07 17:32:00 Source: www.PinoyBlogoSphere.com - When America elects its next president come November, it will have to decide between two starkly different candidates—the seasoned John McCain, who believes in spending billions of dollars on the war in Iraq, but thinks twice about spending millions of dollars in education, or Barack Obama, who, in his charismatic speeches promises of a new direction for his country, for change we can believe in, but who many people believe does not have enough expertise to deliver his promises. That is, in my opinion, perhaps the biggest dilemma voters face. Should they entrust the future of the world’s single largest superpower to a man who knows how to manage a country but in a wrong way, or to a young chap who promises radical change despite his short curriculum vitae?

My tribute to warriors on Memorial Day
2008-05-26 18:16:00 War has to be the strangest human institution. It brings out the the most brutal territorial animal and tribal human in us. It also showcases extremes of selflessness, courage, and even compassion. Today, in the United States, we celebrate our warriors in a manner that, all too often, centers on the “glory” of death in battle. I’d like to extend this tribute to our living warriors — the ones who came home — and the battles they never left. I think this clip from a longer film demonstrates what war is in the most eloquent manner I’ve ever seen; and it’s done without words. It’s about 10 minutes long, but worth viewing for many of us. If you don’t want to watch that long, scrub ahead to around 6:08, and if you’re really pressed for time, go to 7:22, but I warn you; the impact will be greater if you don’t scrub ahead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8Ljk4AC24R4

Surveying the Signals: Veteran Starters
2008-05-20 18:55:00 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the next week will accompany many editorials concerning the value of veteran starters. It is largely true that veterans such as Greg Maddux are underrated--without flashy strikeout totals their value is ignored in favor of hyped youngsters such as Matt Garza or Ubaldo Jimenez (both struggling, despite preseason touting by many regimes). The next couple nights could start a wave of nostalgia, and I'll outline why...Greg Maddux: Mad dog faces the Cardinals at home, a team he's had a ton of success against in a stadium he's absolutely dominated. His ERA at home is a puny 1.42 this year, despite striking out only 9 in over 24 innings. Last season he still rocked a low home ERA of 3.59, showing just what advantage Petco offers. A solid outing tonight will open analysts eyes to the low WHIP he could provide, inciting slurs of "undervalued" and "intangibles".Bartolo Colon: Does anyone know Colon's numbers in the minors this season? He sits at...

The Truth About Veteran Suicides
2008-05-13 17:02:00 Sudhan @17:00 CET Aaron Glantz | Foreign Policy In Focus, May 9, 2008 Eighteen American war veterans kill themselves every day. One thousand former soldiers receiving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs attempt suicide every month. More veterans are committing suicide than are dying in combat overseas. These are statistics that most Americans don’t know, because the Bush administration has refused to tell them. Since the start of the Iraq War, the government has tried to present it as a war without casualties. In fact, they never would have come to light were it not for a class action lawsuit brought by Veterans for Common Sense and Veterans United for Truth on behalf of the 1.7 million Americans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The two groups allege the Department of Veterans Affairs has systematically denied mental health care and disability benefits to veterans returning from the conflict zones. The case, officially known as Veterans for Common Sense vs. Peake...
