Hi Marie,
I recently went through the Leadership Excellence Academy with Kathi Polis and Lennox McClendon, and we started with various self-assessment options. The academy felt that beginning with assessing the felt needs of the students, teachers, administrators, and stakeholders was a great way to determine what else needed to be done in our program. Then we used these self-assessments to decide what data we needed to review for purposes of program improvement. I am not sure if this is what you were looking for, but this is what came to mind.

The Bradford County Coroner pronounced Wilber dead at the scene.
The other two people involved in the crash were not injured.
They were both wearing seat belts and neither airbag deployed.
Wilber was wearing a helmet.

The Osler Institute
Excellence in Continuing Medical Education
The Osler Institute has over thirty years of experience in preparing physicians for their board examinations. We can help you today. A survey of Osler participants shows significantly higher pass rates for Osler students compared with those who did not take our course. The difference in pass rates is difficult to explain away by self-selection in attendance over-representing those who would have passed without taking the Osler course.
"Osler gives … unfair advantage" said a Board Trustee. "He's wrong and right," reported an Osler participant who heard the trustee's comment. "The course does give candidates an advantage – but it's not unfair." This student had failed his boards before taking the Osler course but told us that he passed easily after doing the course. "This time didn't even feel like an exam. It was like having a discussion with a colleague."
The Osler course can work for you too.

NORTHAMPTON – Mayor Mary Clare Higgins delivered her 12th and final budget proposal to the City Council Thursday without any projected job cuts.
The $93.5 million spending plan for fiscal 2012 includes the $7.1 million Water Enterprise Fund, the $5.58 million Sewer Enterprise Fund and the $3.48 million Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The General Fund portion totals $77.3 million.
In her budget message, Higgins told the council she was able to maintain the level of city services without job losses in part through the cooperation of city employees, who agreed to freeze their wages at 2011 levels. She also proposed an increase in parking ticket fines, a move she estimated would bring an additional $272,500 into the city coffers. She noted that she complied her budget in the face of continued cuts in state aid totally $2,787,220 over the last four years.
During her time as mayor, Higgins said, the cost of a gallon of gas has increased from $1.26 to $3.96.
"The economy went from the Dot-Com bubble to the post 9/11 recession and stock market decline, to the sub-prime mortgage crisis, corporate bailouts, and to the current stagnant economy," she said.
Meanwhile, she added, the cost of healthcare has grown into a national crisis.
As she prepares to leave City Hall, Higgins said she is intent on stabilizing the city's finances and has taken several measures to accomplish this. I the past, she has borrowed from the Free Cash and Stabilization accounts to help balance the budget, but this year there are such one-time revenues. Some departments regularly come before the council several times during the course of the year asking for transfers to certain funds, such as snow and ice, veterans services and overtime for firefighters. In fiscal 2012, Higgins said, she increased the funding for veterans benefits by $342,850 in an effort to stabilize that fund.
Her budget plan also supports the construction of a new Department of Public Works facility, half of which would be paid for out of the General Fund. The other half would be spilt between the water and sewer enterprise funds.
Higgins will hold a series of budget hearings before her proposal comes back before the council for a vote in late June. Ward 2 Councilor Paul D. Spector gave Higgins' budgeting skills.
"Since 200, we've been looking at one hard year after another," he said. "I think we're doing remarkable well, and it's a tribute to her and to the folks who run and work for the city. I'd give her an A plus."

Simply put, Northern Express Weekly got started with an idea by my friend and co-publisher George Foster in the fall of 1990: What would you think of starting a newspaper about sports and fitness? he asked one day as we were out running.
Well, hell yes, why not? In one of those lucky coincidences, we had a synchronicity of talents and experience: George was a certified public accountant, while I had been a reporter and editor in Detroit-area newspapers and a writer for hospital public relations. We were deep into the running, triathlon and XC-skiing boom of the 80s, and also habitues of the local nightlife scene.
Both of us had grown bored with our respective careers as well as the racing scene, so the idea of launching a newspaper was mesmerizing. Thats what launching a new business is like: its a fever that consumes your every waking moment. Soon, that fever was generating ideas for our new paper.
We decided that the publication would need a larger scope to succeed; for starters, the region lacked an alternative newspaper similar to Detroits Metro Times, devoted to the arts, local issues, nightlife and the underside of the community.
But, since Northern Michigan lacked the gritty urbanism and nightlife that supported the alternative press in cities such as Detroit or Chicago, we decided to model our baby on the alternative newsweeklies of the California coast, where the human potential movement, fitness and holistic health were mainstays -- the same as in a booming subculture in Northern Michigan.
We evolved the idea for a paper which would mirror Northern Michigans laid-back style while looking beyond the horizon of this provincial paradise of ours to explore the larger world. We put out an 8-page prototype to show potential advertisers in April, 1991, and the first issue of 10,000 copies of Northern Express rolled off the presses on May 3, 1991.
In 1991, Northern Michigan was locked in the worst recession in decades and was also considered to be one of the most conservative regions in the state. Downtown Traverse City was on the ropes, threatened by a new mall and the big box stores of corporate America. It wasnt exactly fertile ground for a free newspaper modeled after the alternative press of the California coast.
Yet we never had any doubt that the Express would succeed, if only for the fact that there was a hunger here for a more progressive outlook in the local media. It was an idea whose time had come.
After kicking around a list of 50 names (Adventure North being the foremost), the name Northern Express magically appeared. The name conjured the idea of a train, progress and speed along with the mystique of the North. We knew it couldnt miss.
Tossing $2,000 each into a pot and purchasing a Mac Plus popgun of a computer, we had enough money to publish two issues of the Express before it dropped dead in its tracks. Although the first 20-page issue had just seven paid ads (for which we were extremely grateful), succeeding issues took off like a rocket. We had six or seven pages of ads by the third issue, and enough confidence to go from a monthly to a paper that came out every two weeks.
But it was a rocket which managed to pay only for the printing and distribution of the paper. It wasnt until five years later that we publishers received a paycheck for our efforts, and even then they were infrequent at best.
Not wanting to borrow any money (most newsweeklies borrowed anywhere from $350,000 - $750,000 for start-ups at the time), George and I worked full-time at our other jobs until our ship came in. That meant several years of working 14, 16, and even 18-hour days.
It was tough. A common scenario was to work until 3 a.m. on a deadline Sunday with Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and local folkie Victor McManemy (Here Come the Tridents) blasting at jet engine volume in the kitchen/headquarters of my home on Mission Peninsula; then drive the layout sheets 80 miles to the printer in Gaylord, sometimes in a white-out snowstorm; then home by 6:30 a.m. for 90 minutes of sleep prior to working an 8-hour day; and then spending much of the night delivering the paper to 300 sites. That exact scenario happened more times than I can count.
Another unpleasant reality was that George and I had to take second mortgages out on our respective homes each year for quite some time in order to meet the payroll during the off season. Thats a scary side of being in business that most employees are blissfully unaware of -- the risk of not just going broke, but also going deep in debt and losing your home to boot.
By its third year, the now-weekly Express began distribution in Charlevoix, Harbor Springs and Petoskey, expanding from a 5-county base around the Grand Traverse area. But that gave rise to the problem of creating a paper that would be of interest across the entire region. It's no secret that people living in small towns don't much care to hear about the doings of other folks living 20 miles down the road.
Solution? We focused on stories of regional interest or on lifestyle issues that could 'go anywhere' to grow the paper to its 13-county coverage today. We operate under the notion that Northern Michigan (always capitalized as a proper noun) is a rural metropolis that is united from Manistee to the Straits by the tourist industry.
It has only been in the past five years or so that the Express has truly come into its own, however. We finally came up with the resources to hire an investigative reporter, a position in which Anne Stanton performed spectacularly before moving on to her own independent projects. Taking up that challenge is new-hire Pat Sullivan, who brings 10 years' experience in police beat and environmental reporting to the job.
Five years ago, we moved to new digs in the Grand Traverse Commons, hoping to spiff up our operation. It's been a welcome upgrade from the scroungey place we occupied on 8th Street when our 10th anniversary issue rolled around.
We hired our first full-time feature writer last year with the addition of Erin Crowell, whose bright prose and witty observations are something I enjoy reading each week as editor. We've also upgraded our fashion coverage with the talents of writer Kristy Kurjan. We created the Northern Seen -- one of our most popular features -- along with the Tastemakers and Bottoms Up columns by Rick Coates. Rick, by the way, is our 'secret weapon' here at the Express -- he comes up with the most amazing leads and contacts in the celebrity world that go far beyond what anyone in the region's media could ever hope to access. Bookending our entertainment coverage is Kristi Kates, an authentic music pro in her own right who is as familiar with the rock world of New York as she is her hometown of Harbor Springs. Most recently, the political commentary of new columnist Steve Tuttle has drawn a huge thumbs-up from readers.
Well, I could go on and on, and that's exactly what we've done in this issue, which is "All About Us." Self-indulgent? Yeah, but our 20th birthday only comes around once, and in the following issue you'll get to know all about the Express family and the people who bring you the paper free of charge while enjoying every minute of it. Thanks for reading!
Elements of this article ran in the 10th anniversary issue of the Express.

It's a great place to stay, but the 7 p.m. curfew is killer.
According to an Associated Press story, a minor league baseball player will spend the summer with a large host family -- the residents of an Ohio assisted living facility.
Lake Erie Crushers pitcher Josh Faiola will stay at The Belvedere, a complex for seniors west of Cleveland. (Is there any way this guy doesn't become addicted to some sort of medication? At least he'll have all the blankets and hard candy he can handle.)
The Crushers have a host family program for players during the season. The Belvedere owner Cindy Griffiths-Novak says she heard about the program and thought it would benefit both a ball player and the residents. (As what? A spare kidney?)
Faiola and wife, Allison, have been provided a suite at The Belevedere that normally costs $5,000 per month and includes a kitchenette and flat-screen TV.
The residents, meanwhile, have tickets to opening day.
It will be their most exciting event since the day an Elvis impersonator showed up. (Seriously. It's in the story link provided above.)

MOBILE, Alabama - As he made his way around the bases following a home run on May 22 on the road against the Tennessee Smokies, it dawned on Mobile BayBears' first baseman Jon Griffin he had just accomplished something special.
He has certainly been made aware of that accomplishment a lot since, having taking part in interview after interview to talk about his Southern League record five consecutive home runs - the one in his first at-bat on May 22 following four straight against the Smokies the previous game on May 21. He has been the talk of the league since the feat and will still be a popular interview subject Tuesday when he takes part in the Southern League All-Star Game at AT&T Field in Chattanooga, batting clean-up for the South Division team, led by manager Andy Green and his BayBears' coaching staff.
"It's kind of died down,'' Griffin said after a recent batting practice session. "Like I've said before, I'm embracing it, but I'm putting it behind me and focusing on the task at ahead. Yeah, it is (cool to go through). It's pretty crazy. I really don't even know how to explain it. I surprised myself. I did it, then I got up there and did it again. I just kept trying to put the last one behind me and focus on the next at-bat.''
Good focus and a good swing as well helped Griffin rap home run after home run. It was a feat that not only surprised Griffin, but Green as well.
"Watching a guy hit five straight home runs, I figure I can spend another 40, 50 years in the game and never see anything like that again,'' Green said. "It's been fun watching him develop. He can flat out put a charge in the baseball like very few people can in the game.
"You just love watching your players do special things and that was as special as it comes. When he hit the fifth one, it was just utter disbelief in my mind. I didn't even think it was a possibility. He hit a pitcher's pitch out of the ball park. Watching someone have a run like that, it will be a memory that I'll have forever.''
It's going to rank pretty high with Griffin as well in terms of memories. He has been asked to talk about the string of homers a lot in recent days, and while it's certainly a story he doesn't mind telling, he said he hopes he produces the kind of play that will lead to more stories and more memories in the future.
But for now, this home run story is the most popular.
"Right after the fifth one is when I really started thinking about it,'' Griffin said. "I realized when I was running around the bases what I did. I really didn't think about it the day before. I didn't even really realize when I hit the fourth one that it was the fourth consecutive one. I just put it behind me. If you do think about it a lot, I think, you can't do it because you start pressing. The only way I think you can accomplish it is if you put it behind you. That's what I did.
"The same goes for bad at-bats too. If I have a bad at-bat - if I strike out or have a bad plate appearance - I try to put it behind me too and focus on the next one.''
In 2012, Griffin hit .300, drove in 98 runs and hit 26 home runs for Class A Visalia. Last season, he started the year at Visalia, playing 42 games where he hit .295, drove in 29 runs and produced nine doubles, a triple and seven home runs. He was promoted to Mobile, but didn't fare as well. In 61 games, he hit just .232 with 51 hits, seven doubles, one triple, three home runs and 33 RBI.
He's ahead of that pace and then some with the BayBears this season. In 60 games this year he is batting .248 with 52 hits, nine doubles, 13 home runs, 42 RBI, 100 total bases, a .476 slugging percentage and .337 on-base percentage as the No. 4 hitter in the Mobile lineup.
"Honestly, I learned more last year than I had the previous three years in pro ball, said the 6-foot-6, 230-pounder from Bradenton, Fla., who was selected out of the University of Central Florida in the 21st round of the 2011 draft. "I learned a lot about myself and how I have to attack this game every day, and how I have to put things behind me and not carry them with me and carry them over to the next at-bat.
"If you fail, you learn from it, you learn what happened and you make an adjustment instead of failing the same way. That's one thing I really learned from last year. I don't want to say I'm happy I went through it, but I'm going to take the positive from it. I think everybody goes through it. Mine was last year. I don't think it's going to be the last time I struggle, but I definitely feel I can minimize the length of the struggles and not have them carry on and carry on.''
He carries the distinction of five consecutive home runs - a Southern League record, something that has been accomplished in the minor leagues previously but not in the majors - with him to Chattanooga where he will also take part in - you guessed it - the home run derby, to be held Monday at Engel Park. The All-Star Game will be played Tuesday at AT&T Field.
"It's awesome,'' he said of being selected for the All-Star Game. "It's going to be my first one in pro ball since signing in '11. I usually have a better second half than first half, so it's pretty exciting for me and I'm pretty pumped to get there.''
He's also "pretty pumped'' to see what's ahead for him the remainder of this season, and beyond.
"I'm having a great year right now, I feel,'' Griffin said. "I'm still not showing what I'm capable of doing. I still have a lot more in the tank than what I'm showing right now. But I'm focusing on becoming more consistent throughout the season. If I can just continue to stay on course and be more consistent, that will help me out in the long run.''

PRINCETON TOWNSHIP — A year ago, Princeton Day School's basketball team got off to a rugged start when standout guard Janie Smukler injured her knee and was out for the year. From there the Panthers struggled for wins but still finished with a respectable record.
This year, no pre-season problems, and in yesterday's opener against Stuart Country Day, the home team took care of business building a large lead and coasting to a 40-12 victory.
Right from the start PDS took control, shutting out the Tartans in the first quarter and taking a 6-0 lead. The Panthers started to pick their game up in the second quarter with their defense causing eight turnovers that PDS turned into points. The lead jetted to a startling 19-0 when Olivia Okorodudu made one of two free throws 41 seconds before halftime.
Finally Stuart, which got its first win on Tuesday when they downed King's Christian (34-21) got on the scoreboard when senior Summer Ramsey-Burroughs scored on a twisting layup with 25 seconds left in the half as the Panthers were in cruise control taking a commanding 19-2 lead into the locker room at the break.
"I think there's a lot to be learned from a game like this for us," said senior guard Hannah Levy. "I think we came out really strong to start the game. We have a lot of younger talent and we've got a lot of height down low, and that's something we didn't have last year and that really helped us today.
"We have a lot more depth this year and we can really depend on the people coming in to contribute. This was definitely a good start for us; we'll take it."
Neighboring Stuart (1-1) played a much better third quarter as they tried to keep pace with PDS, but seven more turnovers didn't help their cause. The visitors did get buckets from Nneka Onukwugha, Burroughs and Maggie Walsh but still trailed 30-9 heading to the fourth.
"I knew coming in that PDS was a very good program and this was only our second game, and I let the girls know beforehand that we'd be facing pressure and that would be the first time that we'd seen it," said first-year Stuart coach Dana Leary. "We have a very young team, and it showed today with all of the turnovers we had.
"Offensively, I think we really had trouble getting things started, but I thought we did a pretty good job on defense. And after the experience in the first half, I think we did a better job in the second half. This was a good learning experience for our team."
The Panthers (1-0) finished off the Tartans early in the fourth when Daniella Levitan hit back-to-back baskets after Devika Kumar's jumper, making it 36-15 with 3:22 left.
"I honestly didn't know what to expect today," said PDS coach Mika Ryan. "What I was really happy about is that we saw the fruits of our pre-season labor. We were really resolute in not glossing over any of our defensive fundamentals. We knew we could be pretty good and we messed up a few times, but for the most part we were really solid.
"One of the best things about today is that we stayed out of foul trouble. I thought our positioning was good. We've also got some size this year and our two freshmen (Morgan) Van Liew and Okorodudu (both 6-footers). It's good to go back to an inside-out kind of game; last year we were an outside-all-the-time team.
STUART (12): Gill 1-0-0-2, Onukwugha 1-0-1-3, McGowen 0-0-0-0, Bell 0-0-0-0, Burrough 2-0-1-5, Guzman 0-0-0-0, M. Walsh 1-0-0-2, K. Walsh 0-0-0-0, Vande Woude 0-0-0-0. Totals: 5-0-2-12.
PDS (40): Johnson 5-0-1-11, Leviatan 2-0-0-4, Levy 4-0-0-8, Zahn 2-0-0-4, Van Liew 1-0-0-2, Okorodudu 3-0-1-7, Murray 1-0-0-2, Kumar 1-0-0-2. Totals: 19-0-2-40.

Ellen Barnes will leave after a year as Molalla city manager under a "mutual agreement" approved Tuesday night at a special session of the Molalla City Council.
Barnes will remain in City Hall for 30 days or until the city chooses an interim city manager, for which they will begin searching immediately. She will receive severance pay totaling $21,000 over the next three months, unless she accepts a job within that time period.
The decision came after a 75-minute executive session, in which the council, city attorney and Barnes discussed private details of the agreement.
In other Clackamas County news:
Oregon City: Police are asking for the public's help in finding a distinctive pickup involved in a hit-and-run crash east of Oregon City Sunday that sent an Estacada man to the hospital. Sgt. Adam Phillips, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesman, said the victim, Edward Willits, 73, suffered "significant injuries" and was taken to a local hospital.
Redland opponents of a proposed industrial composting facility south of Oregon City are relieved their fight is over as landowners declined to appeal a hearing officer's decision barring the facility, the Clackamas Review reports.
Estacada: There have been open houses, community meetings and countless round-robin bull sessions over coffee. But now, the fight over the Estacada Fire District's $4.4 million fire station-construction bond measure has gone gorilla theater -- literally. A measure supporter in a gorilla suit has been making the rounds downtown, waving to cars, proclaiming that he is "going ape" for the fire district board's proposal.
West Linn: A group of Oregon high school students waited out Superstorm Sandy by reading aloud from "A Midsummer Night's Dream." KPTV-TV reported the eight student members of West Linn High School's mock trial team were stranded in New York along with two coaches and a handful of parent chaperones. They had a weekend competition, and their flight home Monday was canceled.
The Hillsboro Police Department has identified a contractor who died Thursday after falling about 20 feet from a ladder.
David Walter Huttula, 55, of West Linn, was siding the top of a home in the 200 block of Northeast 74th Avenue when he fell, said Lt. Mike Rouches, a Hillsboro police spokesman. He died at the scene.
When Rep. Julie Parrish, R-West Linn, received a $1,000 contribution from Koch Industries in late September, she decided that it really ought to be listed as coming from Georgia-Pacific, a Koch subsidiary with a long history in Oregon's timber industry. That decision came back to bite her Tuesday when the secretary of state's office ruled that she needed to list the contribution as coming from Koch Industries -- and that she faces a $95 penalty for being late in properly listing the contribution.
Canby: Police arrested a Woodburn man today, accusing him of drugs and weapons violations. Jorge Felix, 30, is scheduled to be arraigned in Marion County Circuit Court on charges of possessing methamphetamine, selling methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school and unlawful possession of a firearm. Meanwhile, he is being held in the Marion County Jail, with bail set at $525,000. Police in Canby and Woodburn worked with Marion County sheriff's deputies to investigate the case and execute a search warrant at Felix's home, which resulted in his arrest.
Damascus: A Damascus resident filed a tort claim Monday against City Manager Greg Baker after a comment during a Council meeting resulted in her being banned from City Hall. During the resident comment portion of Oct. 15 City Council meeting, Judith Landis, 62, spoke about disrespect she feels Mayor Steve Spinnett faces and told Baker he had been "snowed" by the rest of the Council. Before taking her seat, Landis, referring to the Council excluding Spinnett, said, "Off, off, off with your heads."
Lake Oswego: In the homestretch of campaign season, who is contributing to the Lake Oswego mayoral and city council candidates underlines the divide between two slates.
Milwaukie: Gary Rebello, hired this month as director of human resources for the city of Milwaukie, is ready for the job's challenges, the Clackamas Review reports.
Clackamas County: Two renegade members of the troubled Clackamas River Water District board on Tuesday called a meeting, appointed two new members, fired the district's attorney and placed the general manager on administrative leave.
It takes three members of the board to form a quorum, and none of the actions taken by Patricia Holloway and Grafton Sterling appear to be legal. Holloway said her attorney advised that a quorum is not required to appoint new members.
General manager Lee Moore refused to leave, saying the two commissioners have no right to take action on their own. Three other members of the board have resigned, giving the Clackamas County commissioners the chance to appoint a new majority.
As tensions at Clackamas River escalated this morning, sheriff's deputies were called. The board members asked the deputies to remove Moore from the building, and Moore asked them to remove Holloway and Sterling. Deputies declined to do either, and the participants remained in a standoff.

Salad Niçoise Gluten Free Recipe
Posted By Diane Eblin On October 3, 2012 @ 6:45 am In Fast/Frugal,Gluten free,Meats, Poultry & Seafood,Paleo,Paleo and Primal,Primal,Recipes,Soups & Salads | No Comments
Don't miss out on this old time favorite. Salad Niçoise definitley has a list of ingredients needed in order to call it such, but you know me. I do like to play with my food and I'm not very good with rules. As a matter of fact I'm not sure I've made this salad the same way twice nor have I seen two recipes the same. I totally change up the way an ingredient is prepared or add in some new ones. The great thing about this salad is everything is a whole food making it a gluten free recipe and keeping with our easy, healthy, gluten free life.
Here are two examples of recent versions.
I'll give you the main ingredients and then you can play with them. Let me know what you like to add or take away from your Salad Niçoise.
Traditional Ingredients:
mixed greens, to cover plate
4 new potatoes, boiled or roasted
1 shallot, minced
small handful parsley, chopped
tuna, canned or fresh cooked
1 cup green beans, steamed, broiled or sautéed
1/4 cup nicoise or kalamata olives
1 hard boiled egg, quartered or sliced
tomatoes, 7 cherry or 1 regular cut into quarters
2 anchovy filets
1 teaspoon capers
I added in toasted pine nuts and carrot tops along with the red carrots chopped but didn't have any anchovies,capers or olives on hand.
Vinaigrette Dressing Ingredients:
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 garlic clove, minced or mashed into a paste
pinch of salt and pepper
This recipe will make one serving.
Place your salad greens on the plate first. From here everyone has their own ideas. I don't use a pattern or place certain ingredients in the center and the others on the outer rim. But you can come up with whatever pattern you like.
If you are using the anchovies lay them on top of the eggs.
As for the dressing you can toss the potatoes, shallots, green beans and capers with the dressing and then place that in the center of the plate. I usually just pour the dressing over the entire salad once it's on my plate. Remember that word easy that I like.
For the dressing it can't get any easier than this. Put all of the ingredients into a small glass jar, (something you've saved from salsa or pickles) put the lid on and shake. Give it a taste. You may want to add in some vinegar. I like to use champagne or white balsamic vinegar. You might need to adjust the salt and pepper too. Taste it before you put it on your salad.
Note: to keep this a vegetarian version remove the tuna and anchovies.

Water Bowls 2006 - Present (Personal Project)
Four water bowls reflect different aspects of water related to the collective, global human condition.
Some of the most common metaphorical associations of water -- such as the reflection of the moon, a drop of water, the sound of water, and oil and water -- are revisited through the use of some of the latest scientific observations. Moon and Sound are locally interactive and Drop and Oil are interactive both locally and remotely, emphasizing the global connectivity of water / human systems, beyond borders.

Reviews for American Legion Karl Ross Post No 16 Inc
This note in response to 'Guidestar Request for Support' with question of " why would any thinking person want to support such ignorant drivel?"As Service Officer of the Post I personally testify to hundreds of support actions for veterans and their families, support for schools and students, interfacing continuously with Local, State and federal officials in these interests, testifying at each Congressional Hearing to secure more veteran treatment facilities and service here, personally participated in securing MHSA funded veteran outreach across the state, personally participated in homeless assistance projects, and the sharing of information via presentations to civic groups, support of federal legislation related to PTSD, TBS, Substance Abuse and Mental Health and insult to injury, your quoted 'reviewer' (obviously a totally ignorant hatchet job) has not an inkling of our continued unbroken support of "The GI Bill" , it's effect on the whole planet since it's birth at Karl Ross Post 16, American Legion. Shame on you! you! Cary Martin, ServiceOfficer,

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Most ALs are more bars and political .
lots of kids programs to recruit future members too.
If they do work to help homeless vets or if nay one has good experience where AL really helped any homeless vet in need, or with claims and without paying dues and signing on to the far right politics, first, please post.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
claims dropped with no action others helped a dem and a vet couldn't take the far right politics.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
ask for political and religious freedoms and ask them to document how much $ helps vets vs supports the bars politics and child programs for future recruitment

Holocaust insurance body blasted for not paying claimsby SHARON SAMBER, Jewish Telegraphic Agency
|Follow j. on
WASHINGTON -- The word from survivors is clear: The Holocaust insurance claims process doesn't work.
Lawmakers joined survivors in their criticism, accusing the international commission charged with resolving Holocaust-era insurance claims of being too slow and not getting money to policyholders or their heirs.
At a Nov. 8 hearing of the House of Representatives' Government Reform Committee, the International Commission of Holocaust Era Insurance Claims, known as ICHEIC, was deemed a "failure."
Lawmakers called for a quick end to the claims process and an extension of the February 2002 deadline for filing claims.
Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, ICHEIC's chairman, acknowledged weaknesses in the commission's work and said he would try to extend the filing deadline.
But Eagleburger also said the group has made progress, and he indicated that whatever ICHEIC has been able to do since its inception in 1998 has been more than anyone else to help survivors get compensation.
"At least ICHEIC has forced attention on the issue," Eagleburger said.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Los Angeles), however, took a tough stance, faulting ICHEIC for the low percentage of claims filed and for failing to force German insurance companies to follow procedures.
Waxman also said the commission was poorly managed, having spent $40 million on administrative expenses while offering only $21.9 million to survivors. Even less has actually paid out.
"ICHEIC is simply not working well," Waxman said.
Frustration rose as Waxman listed the commission's administrative shortcomings, saying that fewer than 2 percent of claims have resulted in offers from insurance companies to pay up.
"I think you're a little disdainful of us and of the people who spoke here today," Waxman told Eagleburger, referring to survivors who testified before the panel.
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard," Eagleburger retorted. "Don't you tell me that I'm disdainful of these people who have suffered so much."
Survivors blamed both ICHEIC and the insurance companies for the frustrating process.
Israel Arbeiter of Newton, Mass., told the committee how his father, a tailor in Poland, faithfully paid premiums on a life insurance policy. But Arbeiter has heard nothing since he filed a claim with ICHEIC.
"Please, please, do not allow insurance companies to retain that which rightfully belongs to us," he told lawmakers.
Roman Kent, chairman of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, came to the commission's defense.
"ICHEIC is not the criminal here," Kent said.
Congressional hearings may bring the issue into the spotlight, but Congress has no real jurisdiction over the ICHEIC process. Survivors suggested that it might be effective to threaten non-compliant insurance companies that do business in the United States, but that is a matter for state insurance regulators.
Two cases challenging state regulators' jurisdiction are working their way through the courts.
Waxman and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) have filed a bill to force insurance companies operating in the United States to provide lists of policyholders, or face financial penalties.
There is a fund -- worth about $260 million at current rates -- available for payment of insurance claims, according to Ambassador J.D. Bindenagel, who serves as special envoy for Holocaust issues for the State Department.
However, the German insurance association and ICHEIC have to agree on procedures before the money can be disbursed. Procedures include audits of claims, costs to the insurance companies and possible reimbursement, appeals and the publication of policyholder names.
ICHEIC reports that 77,800 claims have been received, but around 80 percent of claimants aren't sure of the name of the relevant insurance company.
In addition, more than a third of the claims have been found ineligible for investigation by ICHEIC because the claims relate to other Holocaust issues, such as slave labor.
