Vaccinate or Veto? Shots or Titer for Your Pet ? Part 2
2008-09-10 07:01:00 Each year, you receive the cute puppy postcard in the mail, reminding you that your pet is due for its annual vaccinations.

Vaccinate or Veto? Shots or Titer for Your Pet ? Part 1
2008-09-03 07:01:00 The $150-300 bill for shots makes you groan every spring. But do these shots hurt your pet (or large animal) more than they wound your wallet?

Yes, it's okay to veto lopsided trades
2008-05-23 01:24:00 This started out as a comment to Mike's excellent post here, but it got so long I decided to give it its own separate post. Mike pondered whether it's okay to veto a trade if it's so lopsided it destroys league balance, even if it's technically not collusion. I answer unequivocally: Hell, yes, it's okay.I play in a highly competitive, 14-team money league (called A1A Fantasy Sports) that uses a "commissioner review" trading policy. (When a trade is proposed by one team and accepted by another, all managers in the league have a right to protest, though it's the commissioner -- which happens to be me in this case -- who ultimately decides whether to approve or reject the trade.)I don't reject trades lightly. Since 2000, I've only rejected two trades -- one in fantasy baseball and one in football. (And the football one was borderline collusion.) We've had managers protest many, many more, but I try my best to let players manage their rosters how they see fit. (The last one I r...

Chamber Urges Governor O'Malley to Veto the Flexible Leave Act
2008-04-18 15:01:00 Maryland Chamber President & CEO Kathy Snyder sent a letter to Governor Martin O’Malley yesterday urging him to veto HB 40, the Flexible Leave Act. The General Assembly passed the bill, which will require employers of 15 or more employees, who provide paid leave, to allow their employees to use their leave (sick, vacation or compensatory time) for the illness of a child, spouse or parent. Employees who earn more than one type of leave with pay may elect the type and amount of leave with pay to be used.
