Seven years ago, Alex McIntosh made a phone call. He wasnt even sure who, or what, he was calling. He just knew he needed to do something.His son, U.S. Army Cpl. Scott McIntosh, was killed in combat the previous year. Serving his second tour of duty in Iraq, Scott and four other soldiers were the victims of a suicide bomber. He was 26 years old.He was a good kid, had a great heart, his father remembers. Everybody liked Scott. He was one of those people everyone gravitated toward. Nothing ever got him down.When they received the news, Scotts family was understandably devastated. They grieved; they mourned. McIntosh says it took six months before he even felt like living again.Then he decided to do something in Scotts memory.So he made that phone call.A golfing buddy had told McIntosh about an upstart charitable foundation called Folds of Honor. McIntosh didnt know anything about it. Didnt know it assisted families of veterans who were severely wounded or fallen. Didnt know there was an element connected to the game of golf.On the other end of the line was Maj. Ed Pulido, a wounded veteran himself who helped run the foundation launched by Maj. Dan Rooney just two years earlier. McIntosh explained that he wanted to raise money in his sons honor, maybe $10,000 or so that could aid their cause.Within a month, he hosted the inaugural Scott A. McIntosh Memorial Tournament. Donations nearly quadrupled McIntoshs initial idea.Since then, the event has grown massively. Theres a gala the night before the tournament with special guest speakers. A few hundred people attend, and its always sold out.The next morning, theres a ceremony on the driving range. American flags are placed in the ground to honor local soldiers killed in combat during the past year. There are shrines to each of them, lined with dog tags and combat boots. The ceremony concludes with a 21-shot salute to these fallen heroes -- 21 tee shots struck on the range to remember them, followed by the playing of Taps.I dont want people to come to the tournament and just play golf and eat a meal and drink beer, McIntosh explains. When they come to this event, from the moment they walk on property, they are bombarded with emotion and patriotism. I want them to have an emotional connection to the whole experience. The tears flow at our event. If theyre not crying, then were not making the connection that we want to.This week, just days before Veterans Day, they held the eighth edition of the tournament at Houstons famed Champions Golf Club, not far from the familys home.It raised $460,000.Thats just unprecedented for a grassroots event, Pulido says of what has become the countrys largest fundraising golf tournament. Its also one of our most moving events, because it puts the focus on the financial and emotional toll that a family embarks upon when a tragedy of this magnitude takes place.To date, the Scott A. McIntosh Memorial Tournament has generated more than $2.25 million in donations. The funds raised have contributed to more than 12,000 scholarships offered to spouses and children of severely wounded or fallen military service members by Folds of Honor since its inception, covering all 50 states.Just as important, the event has given the McIntosh family a way to honor Scott each year by maintaining the legacy of a soldier killed in combat.Its like ripping the Band-Aid off each year, his father says, but its also therapeutic.It all started with that phone call. The one he made still not knowing what to do, but knowing he needed to do something.I had a sense of panic when my son was killed that nobody would remember him, nobody would care about Scott McIntosh in a few years, McIntosh remembers. Well, I can tell you there are thousands of people who know who Scott McIntosh is. Everybody knows who he is, because hes still making a difference, still out there helping the cause. Thats what makes this all worth it. Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Online .

Justice (retired) AP Shah, the BCCI ombudsman, has ruled that Pravin Amre is in violation of the BCCIs internal conflict-of-interest rules by virtue of his role as assistant coach of the Delhi Daredevils while also being a managing committee member of the Mumbai Cricket Association.Shah stated in his order that Amre couldnt continue holding both positions during the next edition of the IPL, and directed the BCCI to initiate appropriate action against him in accordance with the guidelines.The ombudsman, however, dismissed the complaint against former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar, which had suggested that he was in conflict by continuing to run his private coaching academy while serving as the director of National Cricket Academy.Both the complaints were filed by Nadeem Memon, a former curator of the Wankhede Stadium and a former MCA managing committee member.Shah noted that Amre should not have taken any position on the coaching staff of an IPL franchise while being an administrator. Amre had contended that his work with Daredevils didnt affect his honorary role as an elected member of the MCA managing committee.At the risk of repetition, the ombudsman stated, no administrator (managing committee member) can be on the pay roll of an IPL franchise. The BCCI is also directed to write to all the IPL franchises to clarify Rule 1(A) (B) of the rules on conflict of interest that the franchises cannot employ any administrator (as defined in the rules) as part of its support staff.In Vengsarkars case, Shah was of the view there wasnt any conflict as he was neither a coach nor a part of the selection process, and that his role in the NCA was honorary.dddddddddddd Shah concurred with Vengsarkars contention that his appointment as NCA director ought to be viewed vis-à-vis his stature as former India captain.It is an admitted fact that Mr Vengsarkar is not being paid any salary, and his appointment as director, NCA, is an honorary post (presumably in light of his distinguished cricketing past), Shah wrote. It is also an admitted fact that Mr Vengsarkar has been running cricket academies for 21 years.The ombudsman also found Raghuram Bhat, the former India and Karnataka left-arm spinner, to be in conflict as he worked at the Brijesh Patel Cricket Academy and the IDBI Academy, while heading Karnatakas Under-14 and Under-16 selection committees.Responding to an anonymous complainant, Shah directed the Karnataka State Cricket Association to ask Bhat, who is also a member of the associations managing committee, to disassociate himself from both academies.Rule 2(C) of the BCCI rules on conflict of interest clearly stipulates that cricketers appointed as coaches of Indian teams or national selectors shall not be associated with any private coaching academies during their tenure, he stated. In the event that Mr Bhat decides to continue his association with either academy, or any other cricket academy, then he cannot continue in his position as a chairman/selector of the Under-16 team.
