American Legion calls for VA Secretary, two others to resign
The organization says a series of whistleblowers and investigative reports show a "pattern of bureaucratic incompetence and failed leadership" among VA senior leaders. This is the first time in more than 30 years the American Legion has called for the removal of a public official.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 11/19/14
Just like that, the Packers' season is over. After a win in the opening week of the playoffs, Green Bay's road to the Super Bowl was potentially lining up just as it did two years ago. This time, however, the Packers were unable to string together any victories on the road, with the team now looking for offseason answers for the second year in a row after a divisional round defeat. Five things we learned from the Packers' 45-31 loss to the 49ers: 1. A chance to capitalize on early momentum was missed. Two of the biggest keys to a Packers victory were taking an early lead and forcing an inexperienced Colin Kaepernick to make mistakes. On the game's opening drive, Green Bay successfully achieved both. On the fourth play from scrimmage, Kaepernick threw an ill-advised pass on the run while rolling to the left that was intercepted by Sam Shields and run into the end zone for a Packers touchdown. Just over two minutes had been played, and Green Bay had everything working in its favor...

BASF Staff Toni Pacelli-Hinkley Executive Vice President Janina Goenaga Executive & Legislative Assistant Lilia Morales Junior Accountant/ Bookkeeper Truly Burton Government Affairs Director for Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE REAL ESTATE: IT'S TIME TO BUY AGAIN "Forget stocks. Don't bet on gold. After four years of plunging home prices, the most attractive asset class in America is housing." That was the conclusion by Fortune magazine's senior editor-at-large, Shawn Tully. In a late-March edition he wrote a major story emphasizing that it's a great time to buy a house. He cited recent results from MetroStudy, a company that has more than 30 years of data on America's inventory of new homes. Every quarter the company sends 500 inspectors to 45,000 subdivisions in 19 key states, including Florida, California, Arizona and Nevada. They collect data on the number of vacant homes for sale and how long it takes to sell them. The results are what every builder and bank wants to know � whether a market has a surplus or a shortage of new housing. In the most recent study of 41 cities, they found only 78,000 houses either vacant or under construction. Under normal circumstances, 2011 BASF President Alberto Milo, Jr. they would be gone in three months or less which suggests a shortage of housing has been building up. The story cites the affordability that has resulted from the drop in construction and prices. A Deutsche Bank study reveals that 2011's low home prices make home ownership the most affordable since 1999. In more than half of the 54 markets the bank looked at, it was cheaper to own a house than to rent the same house. The improving economy will boost home prices and homebuilding. Not all markets are the same, of course, but simply stated: housing is making a strong comeback. The magazine piece acknowledges markets like Miami, Phoenix and Las Vegas by stating "people always want to live in those sunny locales and houses there are a screaming deal." Even with foreclosure problems and the investor-bought homes converted to rentals, as times get better those reliable renters become potential homebuyers. The Fortune story is a compelling one for all of us at BASF. You might still be able to link to the full story at http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2011/03/28/ real-estate-its-time-to-buy-again/ REACHING CONSUMERS DIRECTLY IN A 2.0 WORLD Are you still picking up the yellow phonebook every time you need to find a service?

In fact, on more than one occasion, they have had to request that I shorten my column to fit the space available. This column, as my last one, will be one where they will probably have to rein me in. They know how excited I become when directing you to our new and improved website, or guiding you to get the most from your three-in-one BASF, FHBA, NAHB membership by becoming a "smart" member who uses committee participation to network to the fullest; learns how to find new business by attending our seminars and forums, does business with other BASF members, and takes advantage of the discounts designed by FHBA and NAHB to save you and your company money on everything from $500 off of a GM vehicle, to office supplies, to travel accommodations to insurance. My enthusiasm for what the Builders Association of South Florida (BASF) stands for and represents knows no bounds, even if the column does. For over 66 years, the BASF has been here to advocate for our industry and we have done so on a local, state and national level. We provide proactive, high-level effective legislative representation while working to resolve industry regulatory concerns on a regular and on-going basis. We are here for you! On a personal note, while I haven't been around BASF for 66 years, I have been involved since the late `80s. For the last 22 years, I have been involved as a member, a committee chair, a board member, an officer and, for the last 8 years, as your Executive Vice President. It is from that seat in the room that I have found the perfect inspiration for this column � you, the BASF member! Your involvement and service to this premier trade association and the community we have helped to build, grow, live, play and work in is inspiring! I have seen you give generously in monetary and in-kind means to the community not only when we've been struck by hurricanes, but when we've been stuck by the need to help those devastated by earthquakes, poverty, homelessness, and drug abuse. You have been there to help us build 4 homes for Habitat for Humanity; renovate the shelter for at-risk kids at The Bridge in Homestead, provide safe space and computer facilities for Women in Distress, create our own extreme makeover of Cottage 23 at His House Children's Home, renovate areas for Here's Help, and the Special Populations Center at Bucky Dent Park in Hialeah, donate funds for the Broward Partnership for the Homeless, distribute gifts to the kids in the Pediatric Wards of Jackson over the holidays and contribute your talent and treasure to this year's efforts at the Boys and Girls Club of Miami-Dade. You have done all of this and more with grace, humility, fervor, friendship and fun while advancing the housing message of BASF! I thank you for Executive Vice President reflecting the Toni Pacelli-Hinkley values that I hold so dear in all the work you do for the good of our community! As you flip through the pages of the BASFNews and notice all the activities and good works that are illustrated here, I encourage you to reach out and thank the BASF leaders and members, who participate, sponsor, educate, and legislate for the well-being of our industry and our association. Although I wish this column were long enough for me to use it to thank each and everyone of you by name, I thank all of you, especially my BASF staff, for inspiring me to give my best no matter the challenges we, as an industry association, face. I thank you for your friendship and support over the years. I will miss you. It's been an "E" ticket ride! I've enjoyed sharing it with you and I will carry you in my heart with love and thanks. I leave you with an expression that has inspired me over the years "Onward ever, backward never, within ourselves our future lies". Here's to the future �may it be filled with peace, prosperity, love, joy, health and happiness! HERE'S TO YOU!

This started a political chain reaction, with a city mayor and a county commissioner both resigning to run for County mayor, a state legislator resigning to run for a county commission seat, thus creating a vacant state legislative seat too. A special election for Mayor, any vacant county commission and state legislative seat(s) are set for Tuesday, May 24, 2011. While no final charter reform items have been voted upon yet, it is anticipated that some charter reform proposals will be on the May 24 ballot, too. BIPAC scheduled its mayoral candidate screenings on April 14, and will have held County Commission and State House screenings in early May. County Manager Burgess Steps down � Alina Tejeda Hudak steps up � at their April 4, 2011 Meeting, the Miami-Dade County Commission welcomed their newest county manager, Ms. Alina Tejeda Hudak. Hudak, a 28-year County veteran with senior administrative experience, is the first woman county manager for Miami-Dade. She is experienced, and her "tell it like it is" style will help move the county through this transition period of special elections, strong mayor, charter reform and related government structure changes. We wish her the best of luck in her new position! Road Impact fee Delay Ordinance adopted at first reading - at their April 4, 2011 meeting, the Miami-Dade County Commission unanimously adopted a oneyear delay to the County's latest roadway impact fee step increase. The latest road impact fees revised during 2007-08, during a much different economy. Then, BASF's Legislative committee negotiated a five-year phase in of various impact fees. While police and fire saw nominal increases, roadways in particular underwent the biggest increase, due to the cost of road construction. The impact fees had never been raised since their original adoption, 17 years ago, in 1994. At the February 2011 Legislative Committee meeting, BASF members discussed their concerns about the "sticker shock" price of the latest fee increase and took action which resulted in the delay ordinance. A final ordinance should be adopted into law in about two months. Cost Savings: $1,200 per unit; nearly double for commercial and industrial uses. Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) includes recommendations to increase residential land supply � Home builders to see more opportunities in near term BASF Working Group's data won the day at the County Commission's March 23, 2011, EAR hearing, which information proved overwhelmingly that the County has been over-counting the remaining supply of residentially designated land. Over the past six months, BASF's EAR Working Group presented three different sets of comments to County staff that proved there was a five-year deficit in residentially designated land supply. The County Commission adopted many of BASF's recommendations at the March hearing. The recommendations will be implemented through future ordinances to increase the residential land supply. The EAR report, the legally required seven-year Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) update, will help set the table for future residential construction and more business success for our members. Future Opportunities Costs: Priceless! Government Affairs Director for Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties Truly Burton WASD Rules and Regulations finalized Final meetings with BASF members and staff were held with WASD staff which resulted in a final product in the new Rules and Regulations. The document will be presented to the County Commission's Infrastructure and Land Use April 13 Committee meeting. Then, it will likely be hearing at second reading/adoption hearing in May 2011. Highlights include moving up the timing of connection fee payments, a more realistic builder/developer reimbursement fee schedule, and a hearing examiner form of appeals on Rules and Regulations. Probably the most important shift was a provision which would allow the WASD Director or his designee to review and approve "equal alternate" engineering methods to resolve infill infrastructure and development issues. These will be increasingly important for future development, given the County's matured development pattern. Cost Savings to builders and home buyers: $1,400 per unit. 6 BASFNews I SPRING membership benefits available at www.basfonline.org LEGISLATIVE UPDATE FLAGLER DEVELOPMENT SPONSORS BASF AT DADE DAYS The Builders Association of South Florida (BASF) traveled to Tallahassee on April 6 and 7, 2011, to participate in the annual Miami-Dade County Days event.

AND BEN SOLOMON PROMOTE BASF ON CAMERA You've probably noticed a couple of familiar faces on television this month as BASF President Al Milo, Jr. and Second Vice President Ben Solomon have appeared as guests on Comcast Newsmakers with Spero Canton, the show's anchor. Milo spoke specifically about Comcast Cares Day and how this year's event supporting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade was especially gratifying to him. Milo, who is a product of the Boys and Girls Clubs, credits the organization with helping him to succeed in life. "I am just one of thousands of youngsters that has benefited from the educational programs offered by this fine organization," said Milo. "The Boys and Girls Clubs helped to build my self esteem and taught me the value of giving back to the community I call home." BASF members, their families and friends gathered at the Boys and Girls Clubs location on SW 32 Avenue on April 30 to help upgrade the facilities and grounds. New landscaping was added and one of the buildings received a make-over, courtesy of the Builders Association of South Florida. COMCAST Newsmakers Host Spero Canton with BASF President Al Milo, Jr. (Urban Development Group) COMCAST Newsmakers Host Spero Canton with Philanthropy Committee Chair Ben Solomon (Solomon & Furshman, LLP) This was BASF's fourth consecutive year as a major supporter of Comcast Cares Day. In his interview with Spero Canton, Ben Solomon emphasized BASF's ongoing mission to support the South Florida community. "We want to help make a difference in people's lives," said Solomon. "Our members have stepped-up time and again when called upon to lend support." Solomon spoke about how the association has provided needed support to His House Children's Home, a private, non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to restoring the joy in the lives of children from newborn to 18 years of age and children who have transitioned out of the foster care system and families. The agency provides residential care for abused, neglected and drug exposed children in a home-like campus setting. BASF remodeled one of the many cottages serving as home to 12 foster children, by adding new appliances, kitchen cabinets, kitchen flooring and new bathroom fixtures. The makeover also included landscaping, painting and electrical, and new windows. BUILDER ADOLPH BERGER DIES AT 81 A Past President of the Builders Association of South Florida (BASF), Hall of Fame member and a longtime NAHB and FHBA member, Adolph J. "Ady" Berger died March 25, 2011 at his home in Coconut Grove. He was 81. Berger teamed up with his brother-in-law and another BASF Past President Lenny Miller to make 8 BASFNews I SPRING Pasadena Homes � one of South Florida's most respected and successful home building and land development firms. Miller and Pasadena were recently honored for being an NAHB member for 50 years. A "gentleman" in the truest sense of the word, Berger won friends everywhere he went with a warm and inviting persona. Behind his low-key demeanor was sheer brilliance, both in business and academics. He graduated with Master's Degrees from the Tuck School of Business and the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. He leaves behind his wife and loving partner of 55 years, Helene, son Mark and daughter Bonnie (both medical doctors) and four grandchildren. He served on a number of charitable and community organizations, including on the Board of Directors of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Helene and Adolph Berger Family Foundation at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation membership benefits available at www.basfonline.org Toni Pacelli-Hinkley Leaving BASF As she prepares for the new challenges that lie ahead for her, I want to say thank you on behalf of the Builders Association of South Florida to Toni Pacelli-Hinkley for her many years of dedicated service to our organization. It is only fitting that we say our goodbyes in an issue of BASF News, realizing how much time and energy she spent making this an award winning magazine. But then again, Toni is no stranger to awards. She won over 10 national awards from the NAHB, including its award for the Best Executive Officer. Some of those were for generating financial and other assistance on issues important to our members. Toni also won the FHBA's highest award for one of her most innovative events: She persuaded 127 people to fill a Boeing jet to Tallahassee to rally legislators on property tax reform. Toni helped expand BASF's community outreach and philanthropic efforts. She also improved the use of print and electronic media, BASF's web site and other marketing opportunities to spread important news about BASF. Few industry associations have been hit by the economic collapse as hard as Florida's building industry, and Toni's enthusiasm helped build morale and preserve membership. We are a much better organization today because of her. Toni takes with her many fond memories and friendships that I know will last a lifetime. BASF will miss her. � Al Milo, Jr., 2011 BASF President THROUGH THE YEARS � A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE Since 2003 Toni Pacelli-Hinkley has won numerous honors, including the national David G. Lloyd Award for association management excellence and ten National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Executive Officer Council Association Executive Achievement (AEA) Awards for successful programs, projects and community-support activities. Florida Home Builders Association President Al Zichella claims "Toni personifies professionalism," and recognizes her value to the BASF and the industry as a whole. Most recently, the Executive Officers Council of NAHB once again presented a plaque to Pacelli-Hinkley in recognition of her commitment to excellence. This award represented her more than 250 hours dedicated to professional development and education. visit www.basfonline.org for up to date industry information BASFNews I SPRING 9 MEMBER OPPORTUNITIES MEMBERS GET "REEL" ABOUT SAVING MONEY AND GOING GREEN On Wednesday, March 16, members met at the BASF offices to learn about cash incentive and loan programs available for those planning to renovate businesses, stores and offices for greater energy efficiency.

Qui�ones, Jr. (BenTrust Financial), sizes up the competition BASF MEMBERS GET IN THE SWING A beautifully breezy South Florida afternoon proved to be the perfect enticement for the over 80 members and friends who attended BASF's annual golf outing at the treacherous par 72 Senator Golf Course at Shula's Golf Club. The course, one of South Florida's most popular, was kind to BASF this year with top scores coming in at 14-under par. It was a far cry from last year's tourney where golfers had to fight off strong winds and heavy rains. "What a difference a year can make," said Rob Duffy, tournament chairman and president of Foundation Insurance Group LLC. "It was a perfect day to be out of the office and hitting a golf ball with friends. And the spirits on most of the 18 holes just added to the festivities." Following the round, the golfers gathered for a delicious buffet dinner and to share stories of the shots that got away. Prizes were awarded to those who recorded the lowest scores. And a host of great gifts were raffled off so that everyone could leave a winner. Plans for the 2012 BASF golf tournament are already underway.

This past march, BASF invited Matt Murphy to host the workshop at its Miami Lakes office. Conducting in-person training on fall protection in the residential construction industry, builders, trade contractors, supervisors and workers were invited to the training program which focused on identifying fall hazards, as well as, providing attendees an understanding of the OSHA fall protection regulations and safe work practices to prevent fall-related injuries and deaths. Special emphasis was placed on how to develop a written fall protection plan, how to protect stairways, leading edges, window/wall openings and floor holes, how to use a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS), how to safely construct rafters and install roof trusses and sheeting, and other safe work practices when working at heights. Each participant received a NAHB-OSHA Fall Protection Handbook, NAHB Fall Protection Video, NAHB-OSHA Scaffold Safety Handbook, NAHB Scaffold Safety Video, and other valuable safety and health materials. Luis Gomez (Association Services of Florida), Wendy Murray (Alliance C.A.S., LLC), Matt Murphy (NAHB) and Stephanie Cheeke (Association Services of Florida) A group of more than 35 members and non-members attended the training seminar to learn about the industry's safety regulations.

Defeat leaves bottom-of-the-table Pools without a win or a goal in seven outings and they are eight points adrift of safety with five games to go.
The struggling hosts were reduced to 10 men on 51 minutes when Simon Walton was red carded after leaving a foot in on Patrick Bamford.
The Dons midfielder opened the scoring on just six minutes. After Pools lost possession, he waltzed through the home defence to confidently roll in a low finish in from 10 yards.
Minutes after Walton's red card, Bamford could have been sent-off for a needless push on Jack Baldwin, but was booked.
And the Dons completed their first away win since January 1 after 62 minutes.
Dean Bowditch curled home a low finish from 18 yards following a swift counter-attack.
Pools' best chance came on 84 minutes when skipper Peter Hartley fired across goal against the far post with goalkeeper Ian McLoughlin beaten.

The India-Pakistan meeting of Directors-General of Military Operations, held at Wagah on Tuesday, came after an agreement between Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Nawaz Sharif in New York in September on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, that the two officials must meet to work out steps to ensure that the ceasefire on the Line of Control is preserved.
India's DGMO Lt. Gen. Vinod Bhatia crossed the Zero line around 11-30 a.m. into Pakistan at the Wagah border with a group of senior Army officers. The meeting started 15 minutes later than scheduled due to the military protocol that was shown to the officers.
Lt. Gen. Bhatia discussed a host of issues with his Pakistani counterpart Major Gen. Aamer Riaz for almost two and a half hours. After the talks, they issued a joint statement that said the two sides agreed on the "sanctity" of the ceasefire.
"Consensus was developed to make hotline Contact between the two DGsMO more effective and result oriented," the joint statement said. They also agreed to inform each other if any innocent civilian inadvertently crosses Line of Control to ensure his or her early return.Flag meetings
The two sides will also hold two Brigade Commander level flag meetings "in the near future", most likely at Uri and Poonch on the Line of Control.
Check infiltration, Pakistan toldIndia is learnt to have used the opportunity to urge Pakistan to check infiltration from its side. According to numbers given by the Indian side, in 2013 alone itself, there have been 267 attempted infiltrations of the LoC. In Janaury this year, two Indian soldiers were killed, one of whom was behaded. In August, an ambush from the Pakistani side killed five soldiers in the Poonch area.
While there has been a discernible decline in militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, and almost all incident parameters have dropped to a fourth from the 2010 level and halved since 2012, the Indian Army believes that more still needs to be done.
Numbers given by the Pakistan side show that tp to August this year, firing incidents on the LoC had claimed 11 lives on its side. Among those killed were an Army captain, three soldiers and three civilians. Thirty-one people were injured. Pakistan had called for a joint investigation and even suggested the UN Military Observer Mission (UNMOGIP) could be called in but it was not accepted by India. the Indian side.
The meeting is also learnt to have discussed several issues concerning the 15 brigades deployed by the Indian Army on its side of the border. India had earlier refused to get drawn into Pakistan's attempts to include international third parties in the meeting and to discuss a greater role for United Nations observers in ensuring peace along the border or LoC.Simla Agreement
Indian Army sources pointed out that it was decided at the time of the 1972 Simla Agreement that both the sides would thrash out their differences bilaterally.
The meeting, which took more than two months to schedule after the New York meeting of the Prime Ministers, was finally held after Maj. Gen. Riaz last Tuesday invited his Indian counterpart to resolve the issue of ceasefire violations.

PROVIDENCE --- The recently-graduated seniors on the Central Falls and North Smithfield football teams put on their helmets and pads on Wednesday night and worked out together on the Northmen's turf complex to prepare for one final game before officially turning the pages on their high school careers.
But if you're thinking that final game they're getting ready for is the 14th annual Governor's Cup showdown – the one that pits Rhode Island's top seniors against Connecticut's finest 12th graders – on June 30 in Southington, Conn., think again.
What is the most important gift a father can give to his child?
If you answer unconditional love or a top-flight education, you're right on target. What about providing a supportive and nurturing home life geared toward helping one's offspring achieve their best? Can't find fault with that, either.

A commission charged with exploring bankruptcy reform said on Wednesday it may recommend ditching outdated bankruptcy laws altogether and "starting from scratch."
The Commission to Study the Reform of Chapter 11, whose 22 members constitute a venerable bankruptcy industry Hall of Fame, on Wednesday held its first in a series of hearings to gather feedback on what is right and wrong with the statutory scheme that has governed Chapter 11 bankruptcy since 1978. The commission's charge includes "literally considering starting from scratch and re-inventing the statute," said Robert Keach, attorney and commission co chairman.

New York, NY —
It's now 60 years since the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, and this month in New York, many events will be held in his honor, with plans to explore his ideas of social change through non-violence. Last night at the cathedral of St. John the Divine, a public forum was held to discuss Satyagraha--what Gandhi called "the power of truth" or "truth force."
