easyJet, Northern Ireland's largest airline, has today put on sale two new routes from Belfast International Airport to Bordeaux and Jersey.
The new flights launch on 28 June 2014 and operate throughout the summer using a 156 seater Airbus A319. They are available to book now at www.easyJet.com
easyJet expects to fly thousands of holidaymakers and business travellers to and from the new destinations next summer to help deliver a further boost to the Northern Ireland economy.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's Head of Northern Ireland, said: "We're pleased to put on sale two exciting, new destinations to Belfast International Airport today and believe they will be popular additions to the network.
"The beautiful French city of Bordeaux boasts world class food and drink and superb neo classical architecture, while Jersey as the warmest place in the British Isles is perfect for a relaxing beach break with hundreds of years of history. The introduction of additional low cost seats will also help to boost tourism to Belfast providing options for people visiting on short or long breaks."
John Doran, Managing Director of Belfast International Airport, commented: "We strongly welcome this further expansion of easyJet's already-extensive network from Belfast International Airport. These two new routes provide further important choice to the Northern Ireland market as we strive to maximise opportunities for air travellers to fly with ease to key domestic and international destinations from their local international airport."

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The study in contemporary art-making demands an examination of the creative process from conception through construction and exhibition. A strong commitment and dedication to the process of creating art and sound critical thinking are expected of the graduate-level student. The University of Dallas's graduate art curriculum pairs the study of visual art from historical, theoretical and critical perspectives with disciplined studio practice in an effort to define in the student's mind a clear understanding of the work and its evolution. Each student works with the entire graduate art faculty through independent studies, one-on-one critique sessions and group evaluations, thereby receiving diverse perspectives on his/her work.
The University of Dallas' Haggerty Art Village is located in a wooded setting isolated from the main campus buildings. The studio spaces are semi-private and are linked directly or in close proximity to well-equipped shop facilities with the 24-hour access.
The surrounding Dallas/Fort Worth art community provides vital and dynamic additions to the student's studio investigation. Institutions such as the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Kimball Art Museum, and the Amon Carter Museum and an active gallery scene all enhance the curriculum.
At the University of Dallas the graduate program in studio art seeks to provide the self-motivated student with the tools needed to meet the demands required of the professional working artist. The graduate faculty at the University of Dallas believes that intense study, intellectual examination and historical understanding combined with the vast creative offerings in the Metroplex aptly prepare the student for a career as a professional artist. The University of Dallas graduate student can emerge from three years of vigorous study equipped with both the practical the theoretical knowledge to immerse him/herself in the art world and marketplace. Graduates from the University of Dallas are represented by galleries nationally, exhibit internationally, and teach in universities throughout the country.
Students accepted into the program may be eligible for a full tuition scholarship. A limited number of stipends are available for year-long graduate assistantships.

MASSENA - Following a special meeting held Tuesday afternoon in executive session, both the town and village of Massena have agreed to extend the law enforcement services agreement through the end of June.
The village board passed the agreement on Tuesday, while the town board followed suit at its regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday. Both boards unanimously approved of the deal.
We asked them to extend it for six months, and they agreed to do that, said Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray.
The deal calls for the village to be paid $68.85 per day in exchange for the village providing an armed officer at the airport for each of the three flights out of Massena each day.
Mr. Gray also noted that the town currently has an application pending with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), that, if approved, would see the town reimbursed for these expenses. Retired village police officers - also working the court security detail - are currently handling most of those duties.
Massena Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said the extension of the agreement is to give the town additional time to seek an alternative for providing a law enforcement presence at the airport.
The town is still in negotiations with TSA regarding the security agreement, Mr. Currier said. So we extended the agreement while they look at their other options.
Those other options include possibly having an officer on standby who would respond to the airport if needed.
Mr. Gray has submitted a request to the TSA to be approved for what is known as an approved response time plan.
In a letter written to TSA officials earlier this year, he wrote, Our research indicates that these airports are very well served by this status and that public safety has not been compromised by it. TSA has a significant presence at the Massena Airport. All of your staff are highly trained professionals who are capable of calling local law enforcement agencies should the need arise.
Following that letter, Mr. Gray said TSA officials responded they would be willing to work with the town to ensure the airports security needs are met, although no promises were made as to whether an approved response time plan would gain their support.

Word for the Year
I admit it, sometimes I let the little stuff get to me. And I further admit that sometimes I react to stressors and disappointments by using words that aren't very ladylike.

So Dan and I were at Harry's, waiting for our lunch to arrive, and he leaned forward and said, "I'm moving out. Three of my buddies and I have found a place." My first reaction was, predictably, a little bit of shock. I really had no idea he was planning...

I know a lot of people have gotten their fills of the Wills-and-Kate wedding hoopla and wouldn't lose any sleep to get up and watch the ceremony this Friday at 4 a.m., but I'm planning to watch it. I got up that July morning in 1981 to watch Wills' parents, ...

These reviews are written by independent automotive journalists providing an objective
and reliable assessment to help you make a smart buying decision. 2013 Hyundai Elantra.
Reviewed By: New Car Test Drive
© 2013 NewCarTestDrive.com
The 2013 Elantra Coupe two-door and 2013 Elantra GT five-door hatchback join the Elantra sedan four-door. With unique styling cues and driving characteristics, the Elantra Coupe and Elantra GT are positioned as sporty alternatives to the traditional sedan.
The Elantra Coupe is fun yet practical, and fits between the Elantra sedan and the more enthusiast-oriented Genesis Coupe. The Elantra GT replaces the old Elantra Touring model. The GT offers versatility and plenty of cargo space with European-inspired features and styling.
In addition to differences in dimensions and styling, the new Elantra Coupe and GT use unique suspension components for a stiffer ride. A V-beam rear suspension, instead of the torsion beam found on the sedan, gives the coupe and GT a firmer, more planted feel, and helps to reduce body roll around corners. Suspensions are tuned differently between models with standard 16-inch and optional 17-inch wheels, with the larger wheels receiving an even sportier treatment. The GT also offers three selectable steering modes, which offer heavier or lighter steering feel depending on preference.
Meanwhile, trims and pricing have been restructured slightly for the 2013 Hyundai Elantra sedan. Although the base 2013 Elantra GLS model starts at more than $1,000 over the 2012 model, it gets more standard features including air conditioning, a telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, and 16-inch (instead of 15-inch) wheels. On GLS models equipped with the automatic transmission, heated front seats are included with the optional Preferred Package.
We found all Elantra variants enjoyable to drive. The sedan's smooth ride and responsive handling make for a plush, but not numb, driving experience. The Coupe and GT models feel more connected to the road, without sacrificing road-trip comfort.
Inside, the Elantra sedan is roomy all around, especially by compact standards, with interior measurements comparable to those of a small midsize car. The coupe and GT, however, suffer from a lack of rear headroom due to the steeper rake of their rooflines. All Elantras offer top-of-the-class cargo space.
All models are powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque with a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Like most compacts, Elantra is front-wheel drive. Using lighter materials such as aluminum and plastic on engine parts helps to keep the Elantra family relatively lightweight, around 2,700 pound for the Coupe and a bit more for the GT. The sedan weighs in at around 2,900 pounds, which is good for a compact sedan. These lower curb weights help Elantra achieve solid performance and excellent fuel economy.
EPA ratings for all Elantra variants are some of the most competitive in the industry. Sedans are rated at 28/38 mpg City/Highway with both manual and automatic transmissions. That's better than the Ford Focus (26/36 mpg), Chevrolet Cruze (26/36 mpg), or Honda Civic (28/36 mpg). The Elantra Coupe is EPA-rated at 29/40 mpg with the manual and 28/39 mpg City/Highway with the automatic. The Elantra GT gets 27/39 mpg with the manual and 28/39 mpg with the automatic.
The Elantra four-door competes in the crowded compact sedan segment against the Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus, Chevrolet Cruze, Honda Civic, and Mazda3 sedans. The Elantra Coupe takes on the Honda Civic coupe and the Kia Forte Koup, along with larger, more expensive two-doors such as the Honda Accord. The five-door Elantra GT goes up against popular hatchbacks such as the Mazda3, Ford Focus and Toyota Matrix, as well as the Subaru Impreza hatch and Volkswagen Golf.
In side view, the four-door echoes the styling of the Hyundai Sonata midsize sedan, with a raked windshield, roofline flowing into the trunk, coupe-like rear side window shape, and a forward-leaning shape. The crease that runs a rising arc from the front wheel, through the door handles and over the rear-wheel openings into the taillights mirrors the shape of the old British-built Triumph TR7 sports cars.
From the rear, the Elantra sedan is very similar to the larger Sonata, so much so that in the distance or without anything for scale you have to be well-versed on your Hyundais to tell the difference. The tail lights are long, wavy wraparound fixtures echoing the curves that lead in to the rear bumper and promote airflow to help keep the lights clean; on a dirty road surface the license plate should be the first part shrouded in muck.
The Elantra Coupe has a sleeker, wedgier shape, without infringing too much on Genesis Coupe territory. In front, the wide-mouth hexagonal grille is framed by more swept-back headlamps, while the side view reveals more angular A- and C-pillars. Because the coupe is still decently sized, its doors are awfully long, which is most noticeable when getting in and out in tight parking quarters. In back, the integrated spoiler, wraparound taillights and dual chrome exhaust tips accentuate the sportier character.
The hatchback Elantra GT design began in California, then was finished off in the studios of Europe, its biggest market. The five-door hatch has a slightly friendlier look, with a large black insert across the signature Hyundai hexagonal grille turned upward into a faint smile. The overall length of the GT is nine inches shorter than the sedan, and also several inches shorter than the Limited model it replaces. But it doesn't by any means look diminutive. Although still a compact hatch, the lines and proportions of the Elantra GT resemble those of larger, more luxurious crossovers. It, too, uses fluid shapes such as wraparound head- and taillights that make it clear the GT is part of the Elantra family.
The sedan has a lot of passenger volume, and particularly roomy up front. Both of our 6-foot, 3-inch test dummies fit fine, even with a sunroof, and neither had the seat all the way back. Front seats proved comfortable for hours with a decent range of adjustability. Rear seats are also comfortable, with a center floor that's nearly flat and a well-padded center seat that sits slightly higher.
On the coupe and GT models, drivers and front passengers of just about any size will be comfortable, but a steeply raked roofline significantly reduces headroom in the rear. As such, backseat passengers taller than 5 feet, 7 inches will most likely find the tops of their heads rubbing against the volcanic-infused headliner.
The sedan and GT versions offer good outward visibility, despite wide D-pillars, which are a function of new safety regulations. However, rear visibility on the coupe is significantly reduced due to its radically sloped rear window.
The instrument cluster and center stack design on all Elantras are clean and simple. Both versions of the center display (the one that comes with with the standard audio system, as well as the 7-inch touchscreen with navigation) are easy to read, even in bright sunlight. Both user interfaces are mostly intuitive, save a few functions that seem to take more steps than necessary, such as changing the EQ on the audio system. On base models with the manually operated air conditioning, we found the lowest fan setting a bit too windy. We prefer the wider range of adjustability offered by the dual-zone automatic climate control.
All variants of the Elantra boast interior storage that is ample and conveniently located. Door pockets are practical but not cavernous, cupholders will carry everything except Big Gulps, and electronics plugs aren't right next to the cup holders waiting to fill with spilled coffee or cola. Those who prefer to keep their iPods and phones concealed will like the coupe's covered storage area aft of the shifter, while the GT's open console space offers quick access.
Although plastic is used on many surfaces on all Elantras, it is mostly attractive and well-executed. We were pleasantly surprised to find the center AC vents were color-matched to the surrounding trim, which not always the case on even more expensive cars. Leather upholstery on models so equipped was a bit disappointing and was more akin to vinyl than butter. In some areas, stitching appeared to buckle ever-so-slightly in certain places on seat cushions. Still, you'd be hard-pressed to find real cowhide on other cars for the price.
Trunk space in the sedan and coupe measures nearly 15 cubic feet, more than the Civic or Kia Forte, but shy of the Chevrolet Cruze and Mazda3. The trunk opening on both cars is not huge but sufficient, with 60/40 folding rear seats that increase capacity, although they do not fold completely flat.
The Elantra GT's hatch shape gives allows for a roomy 23 cubic-feet of trunk space, with a max 51 cubes with the seats folded down. That's more than the five-door versions of the Ford Focus and Mazda3, but falls just short one cubic foot short of the Subaru Impreza.
All models use a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 148 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 131 pound-feet of torque at 4700 rpm. (That's for the regular ULEV, or Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle. It's 145 hp at 6300 rpm in PZEV states).
Like most cars these days that make fuel economy a top priority, the vehicles in the Elantra lineup don't have a lot of oomph right off the line. This engine must be revved to get the most out of it, and it's fairly happy and unobtrusive doing so. Peak power is at 6500 rpm, though there seemed no point in going beyond 6300 to extract maximum performance.
The 6-speed manual is easy to shift, yet isn't too slushy. The 6-speed automatic is just as good, holding gears as needed in most driving applications. However, we found that on demanding uphill roads, the transmission often settled on a higher gear than we'd like, prompting us to slide the shifter over to manual mode to find sufficient thrust. For the GT and Coupe models equipped with the larger wheels and sport-tuned suspension, we'd like to see the addition of steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Electric-assist steering points the car where you want to go with minimal effort, reasonable feedback and U-turns in less than 35 feet. On GT models, a selectable steering feature allows drivers to choose between Normal, Comfort and Sport. In Comfort mode, the steering feels lighter at higher speeds but doesn't feel much different otherwise. In Sport mode, steering becomes more weighty, and almost too heavy when logging miles on twisty roads. Like Goldilocks, we weren't fully satisfied with any of the settings, and wished for a feel that was somewhere in between Normal and Sport. In addition, we found it odd that the Sport mode modified steering feel only; we longed for a true sport mode that combined steering adjustments with enhanced throttle response and shift patterns.
Disc brakes all the way around come standard on all models and are more than capable of slowing down anything the 1.8-liter engine gets going. Brakes feel a bit grabby at slow speeds, but require a firm, planted foot from highway velocities. Electronic stability control and antilock brakes are standard across the board, as is steering assist. The latter won't steer for you in case of a slide, but will help you steer in the correct direction.
The Elantra's structure is very stiff so the car feels solid, tight and squeak free. Suspension on the sedan is tuned more for ride comfort than outright speed, but it still does a commendable job on twisty roads and glides down the highway. The four door exhibits some body lean in hard cornering, but it remains controlled and makes the driver aware the car is working near its limits.
The Elantra Coupe and GT use a rear V-beam suspension, as opposed to the torsion beam setup found on the sedan. This makes for a stiffer chassis and reduces body roll (lean) around corners compared to the four-door version. Two-and five-door models equipped with the larger, 17-inch wheels are tuned for an even sportier feel. Although it's a little firm, it won't make your teeth chatter, either. Still, those who like a cushy ride might wish to stick with the traditional four-door. On the other end of the spectrum, enthusiasts looking for a two-door sports car might be more titillated by the Genesis Coupe, while those who want a utilitarian compact that's both practical and peppy might like the new Veloster Turbo.
EPA fuel economy ratings on the Elantra sedan are 28/38 mpg with both transmissions. During our test drive, the onboard computer showed a best of 40.3 mpg and a worst of 30.9 mpg in various traffic and terrain. Coupe models are EPA-rated at 28/38 mpg with the manual and 27/37 mpg with the automatic. The Elantra GT is rated 27/37 mpg with the manual and 26/37 mpg with the automatic.
New Car Test Drive correspondents G.R. Whale, Mitch McCullough and Laura Burstein contributed to this report.

In recognition of the continued spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released revised guidelines for HIV testing in health care settings in 2006, calling for routine incorporation of HIV screening into general clinical care. Grants to help achieve this were awarded to 30 jurisdictions in the United States, including Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Expanded HIV Testing Initiative (PEHTI) is a collaborative initiative between the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Penn State College of Medicine, while the Philadelphia Department of Health manages a separate Expanded HIV Testing Initiative within the Philadelphia County juridistiction. PEHTI is a statewide effort and is currently working with community health clinics, emergency departments, correctional facilities, outpatient settings, and residency programs to expand HIV testing.
With a focus on the key areas of the continuum of engagement in HIV prevention/care highlighted in the figure above(click on image to enlarge), the project seeks to develop/augment capacity of healthcare services in PA through providing resources, in-service training and technical assistance in support of the following primary objectives:
- expansion of routine opt-out HIV screening in clinical/healthcare settings within a broader framework for enhancement of health promotion and screening (EHPS) of related and other conditions of public health importance
- implementation of the current CDC guidelines for integration of HIV and related disease screening into routine clinical care services with a focus on communities highly impacted by HIV, particularly among African Americans and Hispanics.
Early detection, tracking of referrals, and linkage to and retention in prevention/care is critical to HIV management and reducing/stopping the spread of the virus. HIV testing saves lives.
We welcome you to browse the website for ways your facility can get involved along with other/existing PEHTI collaboration sites in this joint effort to combat HIV/AIDS. For more information or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are proud to have been a part of the growth that these participants have achieved toward becoming strong leaders within our community.
What the graduates have to say:
"After recently attending the
Executive Leadership program I was once again reminded
of the importance in knowing the difference between
thoughtful business leadership and the kind that happens
seemingly by accident is critical - not only in our
ability to grow and develop as a leader, but to
establish a pattern of success that's deliberate.
~ ~ ~ ~
I believe that this program is a
MUST for anyone in any type of leadership role that is
dealing with changing cultures and business challenges.
What a great set of fundamental tools. "
-- Keith Hoffman, Symmetry Medical Inc-Jet.

"The experience through the LCC BCI
Executive Leadership training was awesome. The
knowledge of the instructors in addition to the
curriculum of the Executive Leadership Training was
incredible. The hands-on training allows you to
take what you have learned from the training back into
the workplace and apply it to real issues. It was
also an opportunity to network with other executives in
the course and gain not only 'another opinion' but a

"I am passionate about Customer
Service. It's what I do for a living so I'm always
very aware of the service that I receive when I'm a
customer. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it is
not so good, but you and your team at the BCI really hit
one out of the park! Your flexibility and
willingness to go the extra mile to accommodate my needs
[in the leadership academy] is much appreciated and you
have made a fan for life."

Exelon Nuclear's LaSalle County Generating Station and its employees are making sure the holidays are truly happy for a variety of local non-profit groups.
Adam Slahor (815-415-2507)
MARSEILLES, IL (Dec. 22, 2009) – Exelon Nuclear's LaSalle County Generating Station and its employees are making sure the holidays are truly happy for a variety of local non-profit groups.
On Wednesday, Dec. 16, the station hosted a holiday luncheon in which it collected donations for WCMY Radio's Freezin' for a Reezin food drive, LaSalle Station's holiday gift fund for needy children, and to help an employee who lost his home in a recent fire. In all, station employees donated $4,270, which was divided amongst these three causes.
Earlier in the month, employees donated $2,100 to a turkey drive. All proceeds were donated to the Seneca, Marseilles and Streator food pantries. Food collected in an on-site promotion also helped the Seneca Food Pantry make 175 food baskets for area families.
"We would like to extend a big thank you to the employees at LaSalle Station," said Martha Tendall, who has been volunteering at the Seneca Food Pantry for 25 years. "The food baskets will go a long way in providing area families with good meals during the holidays."
As part of Operation WARM, LaSalle Station also donated more than 100 new winter coats to the Youth Service Bureau of Illinois Valley, the Marseilles and Seneca police departments and Illinois State Police District 15 to help keep area children warm during the chilly winter months.
"This is such a generous gift and came just in time for the winter season and the holidays," said Dave McClure, executive director of the Youth Service Bureau, a community based, not-for-profit, child welfare agency established in 1976. "We have many requests for coats, and your donation will bring lots of relief to area children. We value Exelon's continued support in our partnership to meet the ever-increasing needs of our community."
In 2009, LaSalle Station and its employees donated approximately $260,000 to local and regional non-profit groups. Approximately $200,000 of this giving was to the United Way. In addition, the station makes charitable contributions to a wide range of organizations to help LaSalle and Grundy Counties improve environmental, educational and recreational initiatives within local communities.
"At this time of year it is gratifying to be able to help as many organizations as possible," said LaSalle Site Vice President Dave Wozniak. "We wish them well in their endeavors and applaud them for their tireless efforts to help needy people in our area."
LaSalle County Generating Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces more than 2,200 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
CUTLINE: Laura Imes (fourth from left) and Cathy Hetelle (far left) recently delivered non-perishable food items to the Seneca Food Pantry. Laura and Cathy, along with their colleagues at LaSalle County Generating Station, collected the food during a recent promotion on-site.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

North Country Books has released Adirondack Trail of Gold by Rochester resident Larry Weill.
The book mixes historical fact with fiction. It is loosely based on the saga of Robert Gordon, a British loyalist who fled the violence of the American Revolution and moved to Canada, where he died in a hunting accident after the Revolution.
Legend tells us that somewhere en route, he hid a massive cache of gold worth more than six million dollars, according to the novels synopsis. Over a century later, the famous woodsman known as Adirondack French Louie was thrown into the middle of a search for Gordons treasure.
French Louie Seymour was a Canadian who went to the Adirondacks and spent about 30 years as a hunter and trapper until his death in 1915.
The novel notes that French Louie found the gold, only for it to be lost again.
Mr. Weills story concerns two fictional friends who go on a quest to find the lost gold.
The book sells for $24.95 and is available at online bookstores and the publishers website, www.northcountrybooks.com

The book also tells of serial killer Robert Francis Garrow and the creative methods crooks have tried to sidestep forestry laws.

Red Sox trying to work out multi-year deal with Cody Ross
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe says the Red Sox are interested in signing OF Cody Ross to a multi-year deal, although there should be strong interest in the soon-to-be free agent if he decides to wait.
Cafardo says Ross could be interested in signing with a team out west, although he says the Yankees, Phillies and Braves could be "major players" for Ross' services this winter.
Ross, who will be 32 on Opening Day, hit .267 with a .326 OBP, 22 home runs and 81 RBI with 129 strikeouts in 476 at-bats this past season with Red Sox. He just completed a one-year, $3 million contract he signed with Boston before the 2012 season.
Before Ross signed with the Red Sox this past January, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN said the Mets were interesting in signing him, although Adam Rubin of ESPN New York later said the Mets didn't want to spend more than $1 million to secure his services.

PAWTUCKET—Pawtucket Police have recently come upon a phenomenon involving older model stolen vehicles and apparent cases of ownership fraud somehow slipping through the state's Department of Motor Vehicles registration system.
According to Police Chief Paul King, within the past six months or so, about a dozen cars that city residents have purchased off of private owners have turned out to be stolen, unbeknownst to the new owner. The issue, it seems, is that for cars older than 2000 models, no title is required to register the vehicle in Rhode Island.
In all of these cases, the unsuspecting owner met with a seller who simply forged a bill of sale, which the new owner then took to the Rhode Island DMV and received a registration and license plate, King said. In some of the cases, the vehicles had been purchased through an on-line seller such as Craig's List. Since people leave their registration information inside their vehicle, the car thief has access to the name and address of whoever actually owned the vehicle and signs that person's name to a bill of sale.
"It used to be that when an older model car was stolen from the city, it was usually taken for a joy ride and later it would be dumped somewhere," said King. "But, we've found recently that many of these cars are not being recovered. Many are showing up as being re-registered by the state to someone else, and the new owner isn't even aware that the vehicle had been stolen."
According to the RI DMV's website, Rhode Island does not title vehicles model year 2000 and older. In order to obtain documentation in lieu of a title, the new owner of a vehicle must show a bill of sale, identification, an application for registration and/or driver license information, and pay a fee of $11.50. This is different than in neighboring Massachusetts, where a title is always required in order to register a vehicle, no matter what the age of the car, noted King.
Additionally, in Rhode Island, a check of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is only required for vehicles 2001 or newer, or if the title is from another state or the vehicle was registered in another state.
King added that older model cars are also frequently targeted by thieves because many lack ignition locks and other modern anti-theft devices that are installed in newer vehicles. He said that the owners of older model cars should be diligent about using "The Club" steering wheel lock device or some similar anti-theft device.
King said that in most of these cases, police could not trace the car thief. Several of the victims told police they had agreed to meet the seller outside a house or apartment and had no reason to believe that the seller was not the person who owned the vehicle. "So there's usually no paper trail," said King.
In one case, a city resident reported his car stolen in Pawtucket and it was later purchased off Craig's List by a woman for her son, who then drove it to his home in Florida. When State Police detectives finally traced the car to Florida, both the woman and her son were surprised to find out it was a "hot" car.
King credits Doreen Castro, who has assumed the job of records validator for the Police Department's National Crime Information System (NCIS), for discovering that many of the city's stolen cars had been re-registered at the DMV. It is her job to enter the VIN of all cars reported as stolen, but if the vehicle is found registered to someone other than the original owner, that sets off a 'red flag,' she said.
Castro said she has found a dozen or so cars that were reported as stolen in Pawtucket and were then found re-registered to someone other than the victim. One of the stolen vehicles had been re-registered twice to different owners before it was found abandoned in Cranston.
Castro said that once a car has been re-registered to a new plate, it won't come up as stolen in the database system. Stolen cars can also be identified by the VIN numbers, but many times, patrol officers just run the license plate to check for ownership, she said. Checking the VIN would be an added step.
King noted that if Pawtucket has found this many stolen vehicle that have been sold to and registered by someone else, he can only imagine the number there are in a larger city such as Providence. "And we have a lot of older model cars here in the city. I want people to be aware of what is going on," he said.
When asked about the matter, Debbie Rich, a spokeswoman for the RI DMV, said that the DMV follows state laws addressing VIN checks and issuing titles for vehicles.
Rich added that "buyers should do their due diligence and take any vehicle to a mechanic of their own choice or pull a Car Fax prior to buying it. If suspicious about a vehicle, prospective buyers may also ask their local police department to run a Vehicle Identification check to give them peace of mind."
Tony Pires, director of administration and public safety officer for Pawtucket, said the issue involving older model vehicles appears to be a 'Catch 22' situation and one that probably should be addressed though the state legislature. "It is our intent to go to the legislature and discuss what we can do to address this issue involving titles. There should be some means to resolve this problem," he said.
Pires added that the Police Department recently found 60 unused steering wheel locking devices, 24 fitted for SUVs and 36 for regular sized cars, which will soon be distributed to residents free (while supplies last). He said he wants the anti-theft clubs to go to the owners of older model vehicles, and, although the details are still being worked out, they will likely be made available on a first come, first served basis.

For many people with disabilities, in order to be active and independent members of the community, they need not only safe, decent, and affordable housing, but also housing with design features that meet their needs. In recent years, the disability community has advocated for support services and housing, allowing persons with disabilities to have their needs addressed while living in the community, rather than requiring them to live in structured residential settings or institutions.
During 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court's Olmstead decision (Olmstead v. L.C.) affirmed the right of people with disabilities to live independently. Now, more than ever before, people with disabilities hope to live in the community and, if necessary, adapt their homes to better meet their needs, including not only their support needs, but also their physical needs.
The issue of accessible housing involves not only people with disabilities and the disability community, but also housing developers, landlords, owners, realtors, and all groups involved in providing housing to people with disabilities. A myriad of laws and regulations exist that govern the process, dictate who is responsible for making accessibility modifications, and how the cost of these modifications is covered.

Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act, or Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, originally prohibited housing discrimination based solely on race, color, religion or national origin. In 1988, Congress expanded the law to include people with disabilities as a protected category within the terms of the Fair Housing Act.
This Fair Housing Amendment Act (FHAA) established a critical civil rights law to help eliminate the use of stereotypes and prejudice to exclude people with disabilities from living in housing and communities of their choice. The goal of the law is to ensure "no person shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin in the sale, rental or advertising of dwellings, in the provision of brokerage services, or in the availability of residential real-estate related transactions."(24 Code of Federal Regulations 100.5)
You may have experienced housing discrimination based on your disability if one or the following has occurred:
The law also established design and construction standards requiring there be units accessible to people with physical disabilities in new or substantially rehabilitated multifamily housing. The federal regulations apply to all owner-occupied housing with five or more units and non-owner-occupied housing with four or more units—not just federally funded housing units. Accordingly, the FHAA applies to both newly constructed and substantially rehabilitated housing developed by private landlords and publicly-assisted landlords, such as Public Housing Authorities. The FHAA also covers some housing owned or operated by service providers.
View the Fair Housing Act or the Fair Housing Act summary.
Fair Housing Booklet, A Place to Call Home Un Lugar Llamada Casa – a Fair Housing Booklet in Spanish
The FHAA also requires landlords to take proactive actions to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to housing. These actions include making reasonable modifications and accommodations.
Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodation is a change in the rules, policies, practices and/or services of a housing unit or program in order to ensure that people with disabilities are not excluded or have their rights unfairly compromised. An owner must make a reasonable accommodation when necessary to afford a person with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a rental unit, including public and common areas. For example, a person with a disability might require a reasonable accommodation so that a designated handicapped parking space is in close proximity to their housing unit.
However, the law does not require a landlord to make accommodations that are "unreasonable." A requested accommodation is unreasonable if it poses an undue financial or administrative burden or a fundamental alteration in the housing program. As with reasonable modification requests for reasonable accommodation must be evaluated based on existing case law.
Reasonable Modification
Reasonable modification policies allow a person with a disability to alter their rental housing to meet his/her unique needs. Under reasonable modification, an owner must allow a person with a disability to make certain physical modifications to a unit if needed to fully use and enjoy the housing unit. Owners may require that the modifications be completed in a professional manner and are in compliance with all applicable building codes. In addition, when reasonable, owners may require the tenant to restore the unit to its original condition before vacating. Examples of modifications include installing a ramp or a roll-in shower.
The owner is not required to allow the tenant to make modifications that the law deems "unreasonable." One type of unreasonable modification would be one that is not related to the person's disability—the installation of a dishwasher, for example. Whether a modification is reasonable must be determined case-by-case based on existing case law. However, Section 6(a) of the FHAA makes it illegal for landlords to refuse to permit tenants to make reasonable modifications to their house or apartment, if the tenant is willing to pay for the changes.
Paying for Accessibility Modifications
People with disabilities have the right to modify their housing, but often, unless the housing is subsidized with federal funds, the tenant must assume the cost of these modifications. Although some alterations, such as installing a grab bar, can be inexpensive and easy to complete, many modifications require substantial and costly labor and materials. Adding to the expense is the cost and time involved in finding a contractor with the experience and knowledge to make a unit accessible. It is important for people with disabilities to be aware there are programs that can pay for some or all of these costs.
There are various existing programs that provide funding for accessibility modifications. However, in some cases, tenants may be able to negotiate with an owner to share the expense of making modifications. For example, a cooperative owner may be willing to pay for part of the cost if the tenant agrees to a longer lease. Owners who decide to pay for some or part of the cost associated with making a unit accessible may be able to receive a federal tax credit. People with disabilities and their housing advocates should educate owners about these opportunities to help finance any needed modifications to their rental housing.
Sometimes landlords claim they cannot grant a reasonable accommodation or modification. The following items are typical legal reasons under the FHAA why a landlord may not grant accommodations or modifications:
Programs to Help Finance Accessibility Modifications
There are a limited number of programs providing financial assistance to people with disabilities to make their homes accessible. Of these, only a few are exclusively targeted to people with disabilities. The majority of programs provide assistance on a first-come, first-served basis, and therefore the funding may be quickly distributed. Before making any modifications, make sure to explore all available funding options and learn what the requirements are for each.
How to Ask for a Reasonable Accommodation or Modification
It is always worthwhile to ask for a reasonable modification and/or accommodation if you believe that you need one. However, a landlord or other housing entity has no obligation to offer such modifications/accommodations, until the tenant requests one. Asking for these changes should address the following issues in a letter:
After sending a letter of request, allow a couple of weeks for a response. Keep track of all oral and written requests and responses.
Following are several example letters that may be used when asking for reasonable accommodations and/or modifications:
Universal Design
One modification concept involves universal design, which globally, may also be referred to as "design for all," "inclusive design" or "barrier-free design." Universal design incorporates the characteristics necessary for people with physical limitations into the design of common products and building spaces, so that that are comfortably usable by all people, not just people with disabilities. This method of design also makes products and homes more widely marketable and profitable.
Examples of universal design features:
Rather than a fad or a trend, universal design concerns an enduring design approach originating from the belief that the broad range of human ability is ordinary, not special. Designing for a broad range of users from the beginning of the process can increase usability of an environment or product without significantly increasing its cost. The result: easier use for everyone and reduction in the need for subsequent design modifications, when abilities or circumstances change.
Worldwide, a variety of factors drives the demand for more universally usable products, environments and services. These factors include the competitive and global nature of modern business; the flourishing communications technology industry; the international disability movement; and the rapidly growing aging and disabled populations.
Universal design can be distinguished from meeting accessibility standards in the way that the accessible features have been integrated into the overall design. This integration is important, because it results in better design and avoids the stigmatizing quality of accessible features added on later in the design process or after completion, as in a modification.
Universal design also differs from accessibility requirements in that accessibility requirements are usually prescriptive, whereas universal design is performance-based. Universal design does not feature standards or requirements but addresses usability issues.

Recent U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) policies have introduced the concept of "visitable" housing. "Visitability" is a term first coined by Concrete Change, an international effort to make all homes visitable which calls for all new homes, both single-family and multifamily, to be designed and built with basic-level access. The purpose of this design is to allow people with disabilities to independently access the homes of their nondisabled peers. The design also allows the nondisabled to continue residing in their homes, should they develop a disability.
Basic features of visitability include: at least one level, no-step entrance, accessible doorways on the entry-level floor with a clear width of at least 32 inches (34 inches preferred), and a washroom on the entry-level floor.
Other features include:
Visitability differs from universal design in that it does not ensure complete residence accessibility. Rather, it ensures that the principal spaces in a building, such as the entrance, entry-level floor and washroom facilities, are accessible to a person in a wheelchair. Other accessible features, such as a roll-in shower or accessible kitchen features, are not requirements for visitability.
This design also benefits for people with disabilities as well as the nondisabled. It allows people with disabilities to access the homes of others and the nondisabled to continue residing in their homes, if they develop a disability. Homes with basic access features are also marketable to homebuyers with disabilities, who can then modify the home accordingly, rather than face the costly expense of retrofitting a nonaccessible home or custom-building an accessible home. People undergoing physical rehabilitation from injury or illness can return home earlier, continuing their rehabilitation on an outpatient basis.
Designing for visitability is also convenient for nondisabled people who use strollers or carriages, or move furniture in and out of a home. Smaller people and children benefit from accessible light switches and climate controls. Housing units with visitability features are usually indistinguishable from those without such features.

Volleyball Takes Down League-Leading Marquette
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton Volleyball knocked Marquette out of first place in the BIG EAST with a victory over the Golden Eagles on Sunday afternoon in a match-up of the teams picked atop the preseason league poll.
Creighton won the first two sets by identical 25-21 scores, closing out both sets with a big run, before a 25-19 win in the clincher. A season-best crowd of 2,109 filled D.J. Sokol Arena, the facility's fifth-largest crowd since its opening.
Both teams entered the match with identical 11-4 records and top-15 RPI's. The win improved Creighton to 12-4 and 3-1 in the BIG EAST, while Marquette is now 11-5 and 3-1 in the BIG EAST. Both teams trail Xavier (Creighton's next opponent) by one-half game in the league standings.
Creighton setter Michelle Sicner had her second triple-double in a row, finishing with 33 assists, 15 digs and 12 kills on .579 hitting. The 12 kills tied a career-best first accomplished Friday when she had 39 assists, 12 digs and 12 kills on .579 hitting in a 3-1 win vs. DePaul.
The first set was even at 17-all before CU would score eight of the final 12 points. A kill from Sicner opened the burst, and Lizzy Stivers followed with an ace after checking in for the first time to swing the momentum. A kill from Milwaukee-area native Kelli Browning closed out the 25-21 win. CU had four blocks in the first set while holding MU freshman sensation Autumn Bailey to just one kill and four errors in nine swings.
Creighton trailed 20-18 late in the second set before answering with a 7-1 run to take a 2-0 lead into the intermission. Kills by Leah McNary and Lauren Smith started the run and Ashley Jansen had an ace to give CU a lead it wouldn't surrender. A Jess Bird kill made it 24-21, and Savannah Smith and Kelli Browning shared a block of Bailey to close out the set. CU had 19 kills and 29 digs in the set on .333 hitting. McNary had six of the kills, while Sicner had 14 assists, six digs and four kills. MU was led by five kills in nine swings by Meghan Niemann.
Creighton trailed early in the third set before Sicner had a pair of kills during Melanie Jereb's 4-0 serving run that gave CU a 13-9 lead. MU would close to within 16-14 before a McNary kill and consecutive stuffs from Savannah Smith and Lauren Smith made it 19-14. Sicner's 12th kill of the match closed out the match.
Sicner and McNary both had 12 kills to lead CU, while Sicner also paced CU with 33 assists and 15 digs. Bird and Lauren Smith both added eight kills, while Savannah Smith saw extensive action and tallied five blocks and four digs. CU finished with 48 kills, three aces, 56 digs and 8.5 blocks on .283 hitting.
MU was led by 12 kills by Niemann, while Nele Barber had 10 kills. Bailey came in averaging 4.04 kills per set, but the freshman was held to career-lows of six kills and -.024 hitting in 24 swings, though she did amass a career-high 18 digs. MU had 42 kills, no aces, 51 digs and seven blocks on .203 hitting.
Creighton remains at home for a pair of matches next week. The Bluejays host Xavier (11-7, 4-1 BIG EAST) on Friday at 7 pm, followed by the squad's annual "Pink Out" match vs. Butler (16-4, 3-2 BIG EAST) on Sunday at 1 pm.
NOTES: Creighton has won 29 straight home matches when winning set one ...Ashley Jansen recorded the second kill of the season with on an attack in the first set ...Creighton also swept Marquette in the opening round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament in Minneapolis and now leads the all-time series, 4-1 ...The crowd of 2,109 was fifth-largest in D.J. Sokol Arena history ...Marquette had not lost a current member of the BIG EAST in league play since Sept. 26, 2010 ...It was Marquette's first defeat of the fall in BIG EAST play in any sport after 12 straight wins across its soccer and volleyball programs ...Creighton now owns six wins this fall over teams that made the 2012 NCAA Tournament ...Michelle Sicner now owns three career triple-doubles, third-most in CU history. She is the second player to post consecutive triple-doubles, joining Megan Bober who did it three times.

Frequently Asked Questions for Augason Farms Food Storage Products:
Q: How will my product be shipped?
A: Most items are shipped by small parcel carriers like FedEx or UPS. The larger kits will arrive in multiple boxes from a single carrier.
Q: What do the numbers mean that are marked on my Food Storage Kit Boxes?
A: To facilitate fulfillment of your order, all kit boxes are pre-assembled with specific products. Then pulled from inventory to assemble your order. Numbers on the boxes may not be in sequential order. Please refer to the link below for a PDF file that describes what should be arriving in each of the kit boxes.
Q: Why when I open the cans, are some only partially filled?
A: With some products, settling occurs and is expected. Cans are sold by weight and not by volume for that reason.
Q: Once I open the product, how long do I have to use the product?
A: Shelf life varies by product and is affected by temperature and moisture. Once the can is opened, the storage life for most products is approximately one year.
Q: Where should I store my product?
A: Product is best when stored in a cool dry place at temperatures between 55˚F and 70˚F (ideal humidity 15%). Once product is open please insure the lid is secure when storing and use within the guidelines.
Q: Does heat or cold affect the shelf life of the product?
A: Heat shortens the storage life of any food – the cooler the storage, the longer the storage life.
Q: How do I compare "servings per can" to product weight?
A: The truth is you cannot. Our serving sizes and number of servings per can are set with respect to Government guidelines on food nutrition and recipe requirements for each product. You will find some recipe creations may require multiple servings of specific products to create the recipe. When reviewing food storage kits, a good comparison is based upon number of persons, calories per day, length of time and calculating the total number of meals possible.
For example: 1-Person, 1-Year (3 meals per day, 365 days = 1095 total meals), 1700 calories per day.
Q: If a can gets dented, does it affect the quality of the product?
A: Small dents may occur from shipping and this is normal. They do not pose a problem, provided the seal has not been broken at top or bottom of the can. If the seal has been broken at the top or bottom of the can, please contact Sam's Club Customer Service to resolve the issue. (888-746-7726)
Q: Are the cans marked with "use by" dates?
A: Cans are marked with a production date called a Julian date. For example, 12022 means the can was produced in 2012 on the 22ndt day (January 22). Each can is also marked with the expected storage life.

Your family may be scattered to the four winds when an emergency strikes, and there's a good possibility cellphones won't work. It's prudent to plan a meeting location to prepare for disaster.
Of course, the first and most logical choice for a meeting place is the home. But, depending on the nature of the disaster, it might not be feasible to meet there. Establish several alternate locations with clear instructions about which one is to be used depending upon circumstances.
Good choices for alternate locations include:
- A church, school or prominent building in the community.
- A significant landmark a little farther away.
- The home of a relative within a day's walk.
If you are forced to abandon your home and are unable to contact missing family members, leave a note indicating your destination. If you want to keep your destination secret from outsiders, establish a code word for your alternate locations.
If there are rescue or disaster relief agency workers in the area, leave information about your destination with them and let them know which family members you expect to show up. Finally, choose a person outside your local area as a contact person and make sure all family members know who that person is and how to contact him.
The key is to make a plan that covers all the scenarios you can think of and make sure all your family members are well-versed in the plan.
