Breast for Success is a new direct service program focused on overcoming barriers to breastfeeding for low-income inner-city mothers by use of a culturally competent and home-based educational and support intervention. Key project components include a new Enhanced Breastfeeding Curriculum with brief engaging health literacy focused modules, and two innovative support plans, the Breastfeeding Doula and Father Support Programs. The objective is to increase breastfeeding rates for high-risk inner-city mothers.
Research Questions to evaluate project feasibility and effectiveness are:
- Were all aspects of the Curriculum and Doula and Father Support Programs implemented?
- Is there an increase in the rate of any breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum for all mothers?
- Is there a difference in the rate of any breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum between interventions (Curriculum only, Curriculum+Doula Support, Curriculum+Father Support)?
- What are exclusive breastfeeding rates at 1, 3 and 6 months for all mothers?

Enhanced Curriculum+ mother provides father-friendly information about breastfeeding to her partner plus an invitation to an educational group for fathers
Behavioral: Enhanced Curriculum +Father Support
In the Father Support Program, mothers will give their partners father-friendly breastfeeding information and an invitation to a 3-week breastfeeding education group for fathers that includes a resource specialist or resource information for child support, re-entry and job services.
Detailed Description:
Low rates of breastfeeding among low-income inner-city mothers represent a challenging health disparity that adversely impacts child and maternal health. The overall objective of Breast for Success is to increase the rates of breastfeeding initiation, continuation and exclusivity among high-risk mothers in the City of Cleveland via home-based culturally appropriate interventions. Key project components include a new Curriculum with brief engaging modules utilizing games, teach-reteach strategies, and interactive learning to address specific barriers identified in focus groups (e.g. pain, low milk supply, breast "myths"), and two innovative support components, the Breastfeeding Doula and Father Support Programs. Breast for Success was developed in collaboration with and will be disseminated in partnership with the Cleveland Department of Public Health MomsFirst initiative (a Healthy Start Program), which delivers comprehensive services including twice-monthly Community Health Worker home visits prenatally through 2 years postpartum to 500 women annually. The investigators will measure program success via participation logs, satisfaction questionnaires and breastfeeding rates at 1, 3 and 6 months postpartum.

13% of Purchasing Directors consider organisational changes to be one of their top three priorities.*
Indeed, change and evolution in purchasing organisations is a serious concern in a radically changing environment. This organisational questioning allows Purchasing to keep in step with businesses' commercial challenges: keeping close to in-house customers while taking a coordinated approach to the supplier market.
In particular the context of uncertainty (bankruptcy of suppliers, abrupt changes in raw materials prices or exchange rates) is becoming a fundamental factor that purchasing departments must incorporate into their strategies. Faced with such structural changes, many Purchasing functions need to anticipate organisational changes in order to bring high value to the company and mitigate risks.
(*) Source: Purchasing Monitor 2009, "Purchasing, the end of a cycle?"
How BearingPoint brings value
Aligning the purchasing department with a company's global strategy is absolutely essential. Therefore it is important to take the time to understand the strategy and then to identify the most appropriate organisational structure.

Offensive Player of the Week – Jill Ivy- Stephen F. Austin
The Ladyjacks got a great week from Jill Ivy, who led SFA to a trio of wins and helped them maintain its status as the lone Southland Conference team with an unscathed record. The sophomore averaged 3.92 kills per set for the week, hitting at a .326 clip to up her season average to 3.11 kills per set for the year. She opened the week with an 18-kill, two-block outing in a five-set win over Sam Houston State. Ivy then followed that up by hitting .333 with 10 kills and five blocks in a sweep of McNeese State. She then closed out the week with a 19-kill, five-block match in a four-set win over Lamar, hitting .375 in the process.
Keelie Arneson was tabbed as the Defensive Player of the Week for the second time (9/10) in the 2012 season. The sophomore from Tomball, Texas played in all 12 sets over the week and chipped in with four aces and 13 assists as the Lady Demon's have won five in a row. Arneson had a great week defensively, digging up 29 balls in NSU's five-set win over Lamar and 23 while defeating of AMCC.

This week we've been talking about the publishing industry and how both digital and mobile have affected traditional print publications. As more people get their information from a variety of devices, it's important for publishers to capture their readers wherever they are. Creating mobile options for those readers is key. One way to do that is to have digital editions that are available in multiple formats. Enter Mygazines and Microsoft Tag.
"Our solution is working with people who have worked with a PDF or a print version of a publication or document and trying to make it an engaging online experience," says Randy Frisch, COO of Mygazines. "Some people will say, well, I already have digital, I have a PDF. The problem is a PDF is a very offline experience. It's not very easy to add engaging elements such as a social media tool. A PDF is a very flat experience."
What Tag Mygazines integration does is allow publishers to create 2D barcodes using Mygazines web-based software that links to interactive mobile reproductions of magazines and newspapers, as well as catalogs, flyers, brochures, manuals, white papers, etc. The Tags can link readers to breaking news, behind-the-scenes videos, promotions, contests or be used to transfer an article onto their smartphone so they can read it at their convenience.
"People are so connected with their mobile devices and they have scanning capabilities provided by those devices," notes Frisch. "They can easily scan something with a Tag and engage with that enhanced content experience. Tag gives them an easy entry point into the digital world."
Beyond that, the experience that publishers provide to their readers can be fine-tuned and measured. "Most important," notes Frisch, "is that you can track engagement and tweak the content to be a more effective tool for you."
In addition, Mygazines gives publishers a unique URL that could also be a subdomain of their URL; for example, brochures.yourcompanyname.com. So the total brand experience doesn't have to be compromised.
When magazines do provide digital and mobile content, they need to let their readership know. One of the big mistakes publishers make with their digital editions is not telling their readers they exist or where to find them. "One of the biggest challenges is publishers not using the print edition to tell readers that they have a digital edition," says Frisch. "Put it on the front cover of the magazine to educate your readers that you have a digital edition."
Using Mygazines with Tag gives readers a bridge to all their devices while creating multiple ways to build engagement. What do you think about Mygazines? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

That Sinking Feeling
Bill Forsyth displays some of the fey quirkiness that would distinguish his later, better-known directorial efforts in 1979's That Sinking Feeling. The film details the misadventures of four aimless Scottish youths, who impulsively steal a shipment of stainless-steel sinks. Once they've made off with their booty, the boys have quite a time unloading it on prospective buyers. Much of the humor is verbal, which can be a trial for viewers unwilling to decipher the cast's thick Glasgow accents. That Sinking Feeling was released in the U.S. only after the success of Forsyth's 1980s efforts Gregory's Girl and Local Hero.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Civil War Causes
Why did our country battle itself? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will teach you about the two major issues that led to the Civil War — slavery and states' rights. Learn about the key issues that made the Confederate states feel that they needed to secede from the rest of the United States, as well as how the northern Union states felt about these issues. You'll also find out how newly formed states fell into the slavery/states' rights equation, and why some of the established states sided with the North on some issues, while siding with the South on others. The Civil War was a major event in our history — watch our movie to understand why it happened!

MASSENA - Although the number of inpatient discharges was above budget for September, Massena Memorial Hospital still finished the month nearly a half million dollars in the red.
The hospitals net loss for the month was $497,254, according to a report provided Monday night to members of the hospitals Board of Managers.
Chief Financial Officer Jim Smith said they recorded 213 inpatient discharges in September, 10 higher than their budgeted 203, but down from the 227 inpatient discharges they had in September 2012.
Obstetrical visits and deliveries in the month of September were very high, approximately double was the budget numbers were. That amounted to about 40 discharges above and beyond budget numbers, he said.
The big concern, he said, was that year-to-date, those numbers are still 5.44 percent below budget and 4.2 percent below last years total.
Observation visits were also higher than budgeted last month, finishing September with 73 visits. They had budgeted 53 observation visits for the month. The final number was also higher than September 2012, when they recorded 67 observation visits.
Observation visits have been pretty steady throughout the year, Mr. Smith said. On the other hand, there were 10,142 outpatient registrations in September, lower than the budgeted 10,967 and down from the 10,368 recorded in September 2012.
Outpatient visits were well below the previous months total and well below budget pretty much throughout, he said. For the most part, the ER and ambulatory surgery and other outpatient visits categories were down pretty significant numbers for September.
ER visits finished the month at 1,312, 10.44 percent below the budgeted 1,465, while ambulatory surgery visits had been budgeted at 222 and came in at 184. Other outpatient visits were budgeted at 5,217 and the hospital finished the month with 4,770. Thats driving the net revenue numbers 13 percent below budget, Mr. Smith said.
Total net patient revenue was $3.4 million, lower than the budgeted $3.9 million. September 2012 net patient revenue was $3.7 million.
Year to date, the hospital is $1.9 million in the red. At the same time period last year, they were $1.5 million in the red.
Board members accepted $16,572 in bad debt write-off for September, bringing the yearly total to $1.4 million. They also accepted recoveries in September of $46,166.14, bringing their year-to-date total to $390,437.45.

Mast Brothers Chocolate
Rick and Michael Mast are brothers from Iowa who began experimenting with chocolate making in their Williamsburg apartment. Rick was a former chef at The Gramercy Tavern and Soho House and was able to play with recipes. Together they created a cult following among family and friends before opening their Brooklyn factory and shop. Today their handmade, bean-to-bar chocolate is made in small batches and is revered by chefs including Dan Barber and Thomas Keller for its purity and elegant tasting notes.
At the forefront of the American craft chocolate movement the mast brothers made headlines when they sailed twenty metric tons of cacao beans harvested in the Dominican Republic to New York in a three masted schooner sail boat. It was the first commercial import by schooner to the Port of NY since 1939.

She hoped she could stave off the pain in her wrists with Tylenol, but when carpal tunnel syndrome started eating into her paycheck, Diane Haywood knew she needed to take action.
Injured workers in Oklahoma seek compensation in adversarial system
On Wednesday, Haywood, 61, made her first venture into Workers' Compensation Court to try to recover some of what she's already lost.
The Oklahoma City woman, a medical transcriptionist for almost half her life, is one of hundreds who spent most of a weekday morning last week in the crowded corridors of the Denver Davison Building, where the state's injured workers go for financial relief.
"It's kind of scary because you don't know how this is going to affect your employment," Haywood said. "I think a lot of people have problems, but they want to work. They're afraid you'll get red-flagged, you know — this is a bad employee."
More than $378 million in benefits was paid out in 2012 via court order or settlements to workers such as Haywood who suffer permanent disability from on-the-job injuries.
With state employers paying nearly a billion dollars annually in workers' comp premiums, reforming a system most Oklahomans never even come into contact with has become the No. 1 priority for the Republican-led state Legislature.
A 260-page bill unveiled last week is touted by its authors as a permanent fix to an inefficient and adversarial comp system that puts the state at a competitive disadvantage in attracting and retaining businesses.
The thrust of the revisions, at least initially, seems focused on reducing the number and dollar amount of claims to which workers like Haywood would have access.
Mixed in with more dramatic changes — a switch from a court-based system to an administrative one, and from obligatory participation to one in which businesses could opt out — are significant revisions that would impact the ability of workers to recover wages lost because of work-related injuries.
Haywood's condition, which forced her to cut back from full-time to less than part-time last September and subsequently reduced her annual wages by more than half, would not be covered under the new proposal.
"I am conservative and I want them to be fiscally responsible, but there's ways to do it without doing away with benefits to the workers," said her attorney, E.W. Keller, a former Republican lawmaker. "If it's not adversarial, who represents the worker for his rights? Nobody."
Included in the proposal are revisions that would reduce by one-third the amount of time a disabled worker can collect reimbursement, that strip protections to prevent employers from firing an injured employee based on their absence from work, and that would make it more difficult to meet filing and appeal deadlines.
The new law would cut in half the statute of limitations for filing a workers' comp claim, would reduce the amount of time a worker could file a claim for a cumulative job-related injury from two years of the last date of employment to within 90 days that the disease or trauma first manifested itself, and would require employees to notify their bosses of an injury within three working days instead of 30.
About 60 percent of workers who find themselves in workers' compensation court make less than the average annual wage in Oklahoma, said Michael Clingman, the court's administrator. Fewer than 1 percent of the state's 1.5 million workers file workers' comp claims in any given year.
Pleading their cases
None of the injured workers who waited for hearings and trials Wednesday and Thursday of last week were aware of the proposed reform measures unveiled on Monday across the street at the state Capitol.
"It's a foreign thing to them," Clingman said. "The vast majority of people never go to a hearing here. And of the 14,000 or so claims filed, there's only about 5,000 actual hearings — a lot of the cases are just settled."
Filling benches that line both sides of the courthouse hallway, injured workers, sometimes with spouses or children in tow, waited most of the morning for either a court hearing or a settlement conference. Lawyers scurried up and down the hallways, often battling for an empty conference room or having discussions with clients where they sat on the bench.
In 10 small courtrooms, judges heard testimony and reviewed medical reports while attorneys representing claimants and insurance companies pleaded financial mercy for their clients.

Tucson book fair will feature cookbook authors
TUCSON — When it comes to food trucks, this much is true: If the Airstream's a-rockin', do come a-knockin'.
That just means all kinds of goodies, from street-food tacos to fancy-schmancy escargot puffs, are being prepared inside.
The mobile food phenomenon that's swept the country is the subject of Heather Shouse's "Food Trucks: Dispatches and Recipes From the Best Kitchens on Wheels" (Ten Speed Press, $20).
Shouse is among the authors who'll be featured at the culinary tent at the Tucson Festival of Books on March 9-10. Cookbook writers and local chefs will do demonstrations and talk about their favorite topic – food. Shouse is scheduled to appear March 10.
The paperback has some recipes, but it's mostly an homage to the mobile movement with plenty of color photos. Engagingly written, it's as much about the people behind the trucks as the food they're serving.
One interesting anecdote: The guy behind Maximus/Minimus, a pig-shaped rig that roams Seattle serving pulled-pork sandwiches, joined the wide world of food trucks after selling his stake in the family's multimillion-dollar printing business.
Shouse takes you behind the scenes and even offers maps to some of the more food-truck intensive hot spots.
Sadly, we can't magically transport you to Oahu to feast on freshly caught shrimp. But we can offer a take on a Southwest favorite: empanadas, from Tanguito, a San Francisco restaurant on wheels.
Beef Empanadas
Makes: 12 empanadas
. 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
. 1/2 cup margarine, at room temperature
. 3/4 cup water
. 2 tablespoons corn oil
. 3 onions, diced
. 3 cloves garlic, minced
. 1 pound ground beef
. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
. 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
. 1/2 cup diced roasted red bell pepper
. 1/4 cup chopped green olives
. 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
. 1 tablespoon raisins (optional)
. 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle flour on it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with 1 teaspoon of the salt, 6 tablespoons of the margarine, and the water, stirring with a spoon and then using your hands to thoroughly blend the dough. Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/4 inch, then spread the remaining 2 tablespoons margarine on the dough's surface.
Lightly sprinkle the dough with flour, fold it in half and then in half again, then roll it out again to a thickness of 1/16 inch. Cut out about 12 circles from the dough using a 5-inch ring mold.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onions and the garlic. Stir in the ground beef and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper, parsley and oregano. When the beef is lightly browned, add the bell pepper. Increase the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the beef is fully cooked. Let cool, then stir in the olives, hard-cooked eggs and raisins.
Put 2 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of each dough circle and fold the dough in half to form a half-moon, pressing the edges together firmly and pinching them all around or pressing them with the tines of a fork to seal. Place the empanadas on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with the egg yolk. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Secondary outcomes include enrollment, retention, and compliance rates; continuous abstinence from end of treatment through the 2 week followup; continuous abstinence from birth to 2nd week postpartum followup; self-reported reduction in number of cigarettes smoked per day; and maternal side effects and perinatal/neonatal outcomes. Preliminary smoking cessation and safety outcomes will be assessed for the generation of evidence-based hypotheses regarding clinical benefit of bupropion for pregnant smokers in preparation fo a larger trial.

From staff reports
Want to give to America's troops this holiday season but don't know exactly how to go about it? Here's five easy ways you can make a difference right now for American troops protecting your freedom around the globe.
1. Phone calls home
Six years ago, then-Marine Alexander Carpenter was going on long patrols in Iraq in the aftermath of the bloody Battle of Ramadi. But the dangerous fighting he and his fellow Marines encountered wasn't the only stressful situation on his mind at the end of his 12-day-out rotation.
Once back on base, Carpenter skipped both the shower and chow hall and made a beeline for the USO, where he frantically dialed his family in the U.S. to find out if his first daughter – who was due that day – had been born.
"I called three or four different people and no one answered," he wrote in an edited email to the USO. "I was so scared, I didn't want to go back out without hearing my baby girl's cry.
"Finally, I call one more time and I get an answer. She has been born! Ten fingers, 10 toes, healthy and kicking! ... I shouted 'I'M A DAD!' … [Others in the room] clapped and congratulated me. Tears streamed down my face. I spent six more months of patrols and firefights with my brothers by my side. I came back to the USO every 12 days to call home to hear my daughter. I made it home and saw my baby for the first time May 26, 2007."
The U.S. presence may be drawing down in the Middle East, but troops deployed across the globe still rely on free calls home from USO centers to celebrate the seminal moments of their lives, connect with family members or just let people back in the States know they're doing OK. Find out how you can help keep these phone calls free for America's troops during the holidays.
2. Long-distance bedtime stories
Navy Lt. j.g. Matthew Stroup couldn't always call home during deployments at sea and to the Middle East, but he found other ways to communicate with his two young sons.
"It's tough for little people to stay engaged for too long [on the phone]," Stroup wrote in a March email from Afghanistan. "That's another nice thing about [United Through Reading] though: you can put in the DVD and it grabs their attention for a longer period of time."
The USO's partnership with United Through Reading's Military Program allows troops to record themselves reading a book and send that recording – and oftentimes the book itself – to their children back home. It's a creative way to let kids see their parents' faces every night, even if they're deployed halfway around the world. And just like USO Volunteer of the Year Jeremiah Johnson says in the video below, it's an easy program to support this holiday season.
3. Comfort food package
Think of your fondest holiday memories. Chances are they involved a great meal. The USO understands this, and we do our best to create those moments for troops who are both serving in harm's way and who are stationed at bases far from home.
USO No Dough Dinners are a great example of how the USO can put a smile on a service member's face with a hot plate of food. These dinners also have the added benefit of giving young military families who are stretching their paychecks – especially during the holiday season – a way to have a stress-free meal on us.
Find out how to give the cheer of a holiday meal to our troops this season.
4. The USO Christmas Convoy and holiday boxes
An annual tradition, the USO pushes its Christmas Convoy through the most dangerous spots in the Middle East – where troops have little hope of experiencing holiday cheer – to deliver both presents and messages of thanks.
See our video from the 2012 USO Christmas Convoy below, and learn how you can support that project – along with other USO holiday programming for troops far from home – by clicking here.
5. USO2GO Airdrops
"It was like Christmas."
It was a few days after Thanksgiving, to be exact, but Army 1st Sgt. Michael Carlan's sentiments about receiving a brand new palate of recreational gear after a small U.S. outpost in Wardak province, Afghanistan, was attacked by a truck bomb would be enough to make anyone smile.
"It took us about three weeks to come out here and rebuild," Carlan said. "I emailed [USO2GO Program Manager] Cristin Perry and I told her I'm trying to run down a TV because there were no TVs. … And within eight hours or so she sent an email back saying 'I'm sending you two TVs on Monday.' And then she sent everything else, too."
USO2GO airdrops – seen here on USOWishbook.org – are an effective way to get the basics troops would have at a traditional USO center to troops stationed in remote bases in the Middle East.
Learn how you can support this program that gives a little R&R to troops at the tip of the spear.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
On Thursday open burn season in the unincorporated county begins, but not without a lot of restrictions on how people do it. This means that residents in those areas can burn certain items on certain days, under the regulations of open burning.
Earlier this year there was some question as to whether that season would be set back because of the drought and the fires that raged around the state. However the recent rain and other factors have made it so, as with other years, the open burn season can run from Nov. 1 to May 31.
"The state has put no restrictions on the open burn policies this year so they will be like they have been in the past," said Price City Fire Chief Paul Bedont on Wednesday.
But he also wants to remind citizens that certain things must be met before people commence burning operations.
First of all residents must realize that these regulations only pertain to the unincorporated areas. No incorporated city allows general open burning. Secondly there is a procedure people must go through if they plan to burn. They are required to call and obtain daily approval through the public safety dispatcher at 435 637-0893. Bedont says that phone call does two things.
"First it makes the local fire departments aware that there is a controlled burn taking place so that we are not called to the fire by those who are not aware that the fire is allowed," said Bedont in a prior interview. "Secondly, state and federal environmental law allows burning only when atmospheric conditions are right."
The public safety dispatchers have this information, which is updated daily. The air clearing index information can also be obtained from the National Weather Service. A link to their website can be found at the Price City Fire Department's website at www.priceutah .net.
The air clearing index is a compilation of several environmental factors which affect the atmospheres ability to carry smoke up and away from the ground where it is a hazard to breathe.
"Open burning is allowed during daylight hours only and the permit holder must be on-site and monitoring the fire at all times," says Bedont. "Remember, you are responsible for any fires you start and could be held criminally and civilly liable for fire suppression costs and any damages which occurs as a result of your burning. The EPA also forbids the burning of garbage which is one of the reasons that Carbon County provides a no-fee landfill for residential use."
The following are some safety tips which will help prevent a fire from getting out of control:
Obtain a permit. The permit is not a written permit but one that is issued by the dispatcher when you call. They will give you a number, which you should write down. Also when you are done burning you need to call back to let dispatch know that you are finished.
Clear the area around the burning material of combustible materials. Fires should be kept in small spaces; you should not have a large roaring fire. This keeps flying embers down that could start another blaze.
"Doing this will prevent the fire from spreading," said Bedont. "Remember hot ashes can spread a fire beyond your property.
Never leave a fire unattended. It is your responsibility to be at the fire at all times.
Have a way to extinguish the fire such as having shovels, fire extinguishers, a hose, ect. nearby should the fire become too large and spread. There have been times when open burn fires have gotten out of control in the area and when fire fighters arrrive they find that the fire was set with weeds or folliage only a few feet away and not even a shovel to be had.
Closely monitor the wind conditions and quickly extinguish the fire if burning embers begin to blow toward other combustibles.
Burn only weeds, tree limbs, branches, leaves , grass, etc. Strict environmental laws prohibit the burning of trash, refuse, buildings and chemicals and other materials.
Have a way to quickly call for help should problems arise. Keeping a cell phone nearby is a good idea.
Follow the same rules one would in a national forest when you are done burning. Make sure the fire is completely out before leaving the site. Fires, even small ones can be dangerous. Small blazes can grow into large ones quickly.
"Please be responsible when undertaking an open burn," concluded Bedont. "No matter the size of the controlled burn, fire must be respected at all times."

2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S550 Sedan at this time
2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S550 Sedan cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.
