WEST WARWICK—Residents living in The West Warwick Manor have all been asking the same question: How was a registered sex offender able to move into a federally funded housing program?
According to Kristen Swanson, the executive director, the housing authority is taking responsibility for the administrative mistake and taking steps to evict the man.
"This was very clearly, on our part, a very grievous mistake," she said at the town council meeting on Tuesday night, Sept 6. "There was information that the gentleman gave us that was overlooked, not noted."
Swanson stated that the employee who made the mistake has been with the agency for 13 years and has never made a mistake before. They were stunned to discover this, she stated.
The man, Robert Davis, 70, was charged on two counts of unlawful sexual contact with two 9-year-old female victims known to the offender in Maine, according to information obtained from the State of Rhode Island Parole Board and Sex Offender Community Notification Unit.
His registered address in at the Manor and according to the State of Rhode Island, his parole will expire on Feb. 3 of 2015. The report also indicated that he was determined a Level II Offender.
According to Swanson, the overlook occurred as the housing authority performs a Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) check and were limited to the State of Rhode Island. Davis's offense occurred in Maine.
The West Warwick Housing Authority is amending their system of evaluation, according to Swanson, to ensure that this does not happen again in the future.
"In terms of the application process, the course of action, we have changed what we are doing," said Swanson, explaining that they will get records from the Attorney General's office which still limits them to a background in Rhode Island. To address this issue, she explained that any applicant with a previous out-of-state address will be fingerprinted and will be forwarded over to LexisNexis for further investigation.
LexisNexis is a privately owned database that has connections with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) records, according to Swanson. If a criminal record is found, it will be sent over to the housing authority.
Swanson stated that any report indicating criminal background is reason to deny residency.
"[Anything] not conducive to the peaceful enjoyment of the facility—if someone has a history of domestic violence, simple assault—that would be reason to reject," she stated.
Swanson also stated that the Manor holds two meetings yearly and the next one will be held in October. At this meeting, she plans to update the residents on the matter.

Even though I've been using makeup for 10 years, new tricks always better my technique. For example, I only recently began employing a brush to apply most of my eye makeup (instead of my fingers) and I'll never go back.
While there's arguably no wrong way to do your makeup, I asked three makeup artists to share their best tips.

 Hi! I'm Ragan! I really like vampires!
And Twilight is one of the greatest books ever! I think Stephenie Mayer is the greatest writer ever! (NEVER MIND! NOT MY FAVORITE ANYMORE... I NOW THINK IT KINDA SUCKS... ALOT.) I love reading and writing, so I came to this site.ÃÂÃÂ Now here's a few things about me. (Hilight to see)
 -I won't change just because you don't like me.
 -If you say that you hate me, chances are, I don't like you either.
 -I really don't care what you think.
 -Don't judge me.
 -Don't get on my bad side, it's not a good place.
 I really like rock music and I want to learn how to play the guitar. In case you haven't noticed I'm a little gothic, and I don't care if you call me that, but just so you know, I'm my own person. RPG (role playing games) are really, really cool, well, at least that'sÃÂàmy opinion. Well... that's all I can think of, bye!
 My quote: Love me or hate me, your still thinking of me.
I choaked while watching this. It's called "Twilight: With Cheeseburgers". It's stupid in the best way.
Ok, so here's the deal. I'm gonna put a few things about commenting on my page and stories up. I hope you read this.
1: If you comment on my page, something like, "Hey, please check out my new novel blah blah blah, and comment and rate." I'm not gonna do that. If you want me to look at your work (and I haven't priviously commented on a story or poem by you) DO NOT leave a random message. *You can, however, if you first look at and comment on some of my work, like "Red Moon." If you do that, I will read your writing.
2: If you comment on my writing, I WILL keep you updated. If you have no intention of reading more, let me know.
3: Don't be an a** hole. If you don't like something, shut the hell up. All you will get in return is a strongly worded angry response by me. I DO NOT want critisizim if you are going to be a jerk about it.
4: If you like one of my novels, try to be creative with comments. "Awsome chap :) keep me posted!!1," (and comments like that) will only get a response of "thx, i'll tell you when the next one is up." I like nice comments, they don't have to be long.
5: If you like my writing, then BECOME A FAN. It modivates me to write more and more.

Healthy Schools: Lessons for a Clean Educational Environment [PDF]
Abstract: More than 53 million children and 6 million adults in the United States spend their days in our elementary and secondary schools. Reducing environmental risks inside these buildings is critical to maintaining the public health. Almost all of New England's children will spend a large portion of their childhood in school. To help our children stay healthy, we must reduce their exposure to environmental hazards in school environments. When students and their teachers are healthy and comfortable, children learn and produce more in the classroom, which in turn improves performance and achievement later in life. This brochure can help school employees and parents recognize potential environmental health issues at schools, both indoors and outdoors. It includes basic information about a broad range of topics, and links to web sites that offer more information and guidance on how to have a healthier school environment and comply with relevant laws. EPA's Healthy School Environments web site provides access to programs that help prevent and resolve environmental issues in schools.

2818 days. That's how long Queensland's Treasurer has been an MP.
On day 2817, Andrew Fraser sponsored a private member's bill aiming to legalise same-sex civil unions.
Many people, particularly those on the opposition benches, are questioning why it's come so suddenly.
First off, let me say I'm a supporter of same-sex marriage. I fail to see how allowing gay or lesbian couples to tie the knot somehow demeans the institution (of which I myself am a member).
But the speed with which this bill has rocketed to the top of the political agenda does raise suspicions about politics driving policy.
Labor's rhetoric over the past 48 hours has been strong. Premier Anna Bligh has referred to ''fundamental human rights'' while Fraser speaks of laws that ''should accept the truth of human relationships''.
Of course, this begs the question: If such a grave injustice is being committed, why is it only now, in the twilight of the government's fifth term, being addressed?
For Fraser, politically the issue is win-win. The Treasurer's seat of Mt Coot-tha is one of the Greens' happiest hunting grounds in Queensland, and social issues form a large part of their agenda. By sponsoring this bill, Fraser nullifies a potential threat against himself, and arguably makes himself more likely to attract Green preferences at the next election.
But the bigger political attraction is the potential wedge it offers the LNP.
Unlike federally, where Tony Abbott echoes John Howard's conservative slant, Campbell Newman is a small-l liberal and more socially progressive than many of the party he leads.
He has already been on the public record saying he supports gay marriage, even though he wouldn't actively lobby for it as premier.
Allowing a conscience vote, a common approach to such social issues, would likely anger Newman's more conservative colleagues seeking strong leadership on the issue.
But vote no, as the party has chosen to do, and Newman risks alienating some of the urban Brisbane voters he was brought in to attract.
My Dad has a saying on the golf course: they don't ask how, they just ask how many - ie it's the results that matter.
But I can't help but wonder whether the LGBT community likes being used as pawns in this particular political grudge match.
For those who have fought for these rights, and more, for many years, I'm assuming it would be nice to think any law change has come about on merit. Does it devalue the victory if the primary motivation is saving Labor's political bacon?
If you're a member of the LGBT community, do you care about the origins of this law, or are you just happy it's happening?
And if you're part of the hetero majority, is this an issue that would actually change your vote either way?

I can absolutely see that this has strength and character and may be too heavy for many but I adore it and have done ever since I first encountered it in the late eighties. It is beautiful and unique in my opinion. I do have a soft spot for 70s perfumes but this is different to the more popular ones of the time. Every single time I wear it complete strangers ask what it is. Different, beautiful and original a gorgeous, fresh oriental with attitude. Go on, you know you want to. Don't be out off by the people who scoff, usually put off by first reactions. Out it in, live with it and see what response you get.

I really enjoy this fragrance once it warms up on my skin. BUT I must caution as others have, a DAB WILL DO YA! Literally I barely press the sprayer down on my wrist and I am good for the day. It lingers, I feel sexy and sophisticated. But I can see how it can go terribly wrong on some people, especially if you over do it, you could kill a small town with more then a spray! Go easy !!!

If I were stranded anywhere and could only have one fragrance, THIS IS THE ONE!! AE is the serious holy grail of all of the fragrances that I have (and I have a shocking lot). It is not for the meek, timid, shy gal. It is a full-on, sex in a bottle deal. You either love it or hate it...no in betweens. Strong chypre that can compete with any fragrance of any price (french included). Goes on strong, but dries down to a soft, sensual, even spiritual experience. Patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver make for a dangerous concoction that will have men following you around in a stupor. AE is an absolutely brilliant, complex fragrance. Very unlike mainstream floral, candy-sweet fragrances on the market nowadays, it is a stand-alone, distinct goddess all its own. Love the body smoother as well because of the concentrated fragrance and feels very smooth and silky once applied. The price of AE is also fabulous. If Clinique ever discontinues this...OMG...perish the thought!!

A very beautiful, deep and timeless fragrance, one of the very few that is rated five stars on perfume blogs and included in the list of 100 fragrances that influenced the perfume world, a gorgeus creation and definitely a classic. It is not a light fragrance for sure and one has to be careful when applying it, however, I do not see that as a disadvantage since it a small bottle lasts a very long time this way and the price is very reasonable. It is a must have in every perfume lover's wardrobe. I actually prefer the LE in the gorgeus bottle that came out for the 2011 holiday season and will post a longer review separately under that name. Today fragrances are almost never created with that beautiful deep and warm resinous base that warms your heart and lift your senses in cold weather, hopefully this will never be discontinued and the fact that it has stood strong for 40 years says a lot about quality.

This is one super strong fragrance, in particular the ingredients. After trying a light spray on pulse points of arms for two days, I was shocked when I broke out in a horrible rash (that is taking ages to clear up). I love strong woody/floral orientals and I've tried many with no problems, but have never experienced an allergic reaction to any fragrance as this one. I quite liked the scent of the fragrance but unfortunately it didn't like me.

This is an absolutely fascinating scent. It has taken me more concerted sniffing and repeated tries to "get" it than any other mall-available perfume I have tried, and I love that. Its complexity rivals some of the tiny niche company scents I've been sampling and it's astounding to me that it costs what it does and that anyone can just go to Macy's and pick up a bottle. I won't say that I'm shocked more people don't do just that, because I'm aware that not everyone likes their perfume to puzzle and challenge them, but if you like odd and complex scents you shouldn't miss this one.

I love this perfume. It isn't for the faint of heart. It's too strong for summer and spring, so I only wear this in the fall and winter. Every year I look forward to being able to use this again.

This is my signature Autumn/winter scent and I have worn it for nearly 40 years! I absolutely always get compliments and people asking what it is. I disagree it is similar to Chanel number 5 (which I loathe). I don't think you can compare it to anything. It is a league of its own. Couldn't wear it in the summer though - it would be just wrong.

Bought this online - took a chance after hearing such lovely reviews.
How wrong was I! I often purchase fragrances without previously smelling them, and most are ok. But this one on me is awful! It reminds me of antiques, powder, people born in 1910, and those old fragrance envelopes that my nan keeps in the sock drawer.
I must admit, it's staying scent is great. Lasts for ages. And it does suit some people. Just not me, my friends, or family.
I remember a customer at work smelled so lovely, and when I asked her, she told me it was Aromatics Elixir. She was the only person I've met that made it smell good!

simply said- THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!
the ultimate fougere/aromatic/aldechyde/green/herbal potion there is....
I can't find the words to describe this miracle and I'm kinda glad it has a week grades on almost every reviewers site, because you've gotta love this one...o hate it to the very last molecule...!
entchanted forrest,damp and calming herbs, plushy vetyver, bitter but oh,so deep and wise...this perfume has a soul on his own and isn't compearable with any other..
and the drydown.......!!!you can smell it for days on your clothing, on your skin,it kinda makes you want to dive into the world with japanese calmness and bond with the nature while the resto of the world runs for unimportant things...
pure zen, pure sillage killer and pure HG for me!!!
and on the right person,it feel so grounded,so mature, so at peace with yourself...this should be a psychotherapy stuff for sure!
and a very important thing- AE YOU DON'T PUT LIKE A REGULAR PERFUME ON PULSE POINTS!You spritz it all over your body like a mist, as the body temperature savours the scent and makes it one with your skin....
(ella 343 - respect, you've found the words I was lacking!!:D)

New Lions assistant Jim Washburn joined the staff on the field at the Senior Bowl on Wednesday.
- Filed Under
MOBILE, Ala. -- Jim Washburn won't do any hands-on coaching until players return for an off-season program in April because of recent shoulder surgery, but the Lions' new defensive assistant roamed the field with his arm in a sling Wednesday at the Senior Bowl.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz said the decision to add Washburn was an easy one that should pay instant dividends on the defensive front.
"The more eyes on those guys the better," Schwartz said Wednesday. "That can help with technique, that can help with scheme, it can help with game plan, it can help with game day. There's a lot of positives ...

Who Wore It Better? Alexander McQueen Asymmetrical Drape Dress
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Yesterday I showed you how to get Lucy's hot-pink Alexander McQueen Look For Less, and today she's up for a style battle. The dress she wore for her Late Show appearance earlier this week is one and the same as the black McQueen dress Sienna Miller wore for the premiere of her film Interview back in October. Lucy went more bold with brighter color and leather gloves, while Sienna played it sleek and chic with a contrasting clutch and chandelier earrings. Who wins?!
Lucy Liu

I love bright colors, but I HATEEEEE that pink of Lucy's dress...they both look great in the dress and accesorized it well, but Sienna's color is better and I love her accesories especially the clutch...

The dress looks great but not feeling the pink color but the belt really finishes it off.

I prefer Lucy because of the belt. It finishes the dress. I don't really like the dress, the colour or her gloves but the touch of the belt looks really good. Sienna's too shapless and classic.
lizzylu49 7 years
Sienna. Strictly because the black gloves are hideous.
designerel 7 years
I'm not a fan of the dress, but I think Lucy went the right route with the belt. Sienna's ankles look like they might snap!
fleetstreet1 7 years
the belt pulls it together... on sienna it looks a tad shapeless
wren1 7 years
I prefer it with a belt, but I cannot stand the bright pink. And Sienna's shoes are soooo cute.
bransugar79 7 years
I like Lucy's look better because the dress looks better belted and I think the choice of pick over black is adventurous. I wish she would have gone without the gloves because it just looks a little too costumey to me but other than that I think she looks 100% better in it
freegracefrom 7 years
I really hate that look for Lucy. But the more I look at it, maybe it'd be more tolerable without the gloves. As for Sienna - something like Lucy's belt to break up the block of black and point out where her waist is? I guess I'm just not a fan of this dress, period.

Like both, but Lucy wins (maybe without the gloves though). Love Lucy's belt, and Sienna's would look better with shoes like Lucy's.

Lucy is rocking that color! I like how she accessorized. Although, Sienna looks very chic and classy. I think they both look good.

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. » Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has a message for Congress: Do more to stimulate hiring and growth or risk delaying the economy's return to full health.
Bernanke held out the prospect Friday that the Fed may take further steps later to help the economy. But he offered no new plans for now.
At a time when Congress has focused on shrinking budget deficits, Bernanke agreed that doing so is important for the long term. But he warned lawmakers not to "disregard the fragility of the current economic recovery."
Bernanke blamed this summer's political squabbling over raising the federal debt limit for undermining consumer and business confidence. He warned that further gridlock in Washington would "pose ongoing risks to growth."
Investors had hoped Bernanke would use his much-anticipated speech at an economic conference in Jackson Hole to unveil some aggressive measure to jolt the economy.
He didn't. But he did say the Fed's September policy meeting will be extended to two days, instead of the scheduled one, to permit a "fuller discussion" of the central bank's options.
"He appears to be saying that the Fed has largely played its part and that the politicians need to step up their game," said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
Investors seemed to take comfort from Bernanke's view that the job market and the economy will return to full health in the long run and the notion that the Fed might provide more help in the future. After initial losses, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 134 points. Broader stock indexes also gained.
Bernanke's speech came shortly after the government said the economy grew at a scant 1 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter — even slower than previously estimated.
The economy is still hobbled by a depressed housing market, high oil prices and fears that the European debt crisis will deteriorate into a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow has lost about 11 percent of its value since late July on fears the economy might slip back into recession.
The Fed chief noted that the depressed housing sector has delayed a full recovery in the broader economy. He said the home market should gradually return to health — a process he said the government should support.
In his speech in Jackson Hole a year ago, Bernanke signaled that the Fed would begin a new round of Treasury bond purchases to try to lower long-term interest rates, spur spending and boost the stock market. His words ignited a 28 percent, eight-month rally in the Dow.
This time, Bernanke merely repeated that the Fed "has a range of tools that could be used to provide additional monetary stimulus."

Plea for Prayers as Pentecost Approaches
| 585 hits
VATICAN CITY, MAY 23, 2004 (Zenit.org).- John Paul II plans to preside over the celebration of vespers, the Church's evening prayer, next Saturday in St. Peter's Basilica on the eve of Pentecost.
"I invite all the faithful, especially the members of the movements of Renewal in the Spirit, to participate in the prayer vigil, to invoke on ourselves and on the whole Church a copious effusion of the gifts of the Holy Spirit," the Pope said after praying the Regina Caeli with the thousands of people gathered today in St. Peter's Square.
The Renewal in the Spirit, or Catholic Charismatic Renewal, arose in 1967 when some students of Duquesne University in Pennsylvania took part in a retreat during which they experienced the effusion of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of charismatic gifts.
The Charismatic Renewal spread worldwide, and adherents say that 100 million Catholics now follow its spirituality. The renewal movement has an international panel recognized by the Pontifical Council for the Laity.

By now most Americans who follow the news know that during baseball's annual All-Star Game held at Citi Field in New York City a few days ago, the bigots came out and Tweeted horrible, silly, stupid, racist and ignorant things about Marc Anthony singing God Bless America.
Tweeters called him un-American, a spic, a Mexican, a foreigner – you name it. Really dumb things, and I got to laugh my butt off at the nonsense. How many stupid people out there actually think all this to be true about one of America's most famous cross-over artist?
For one, Marc Anthony, as we all should know by now, is an award-winning American singer born in New York City to Puerto Rican parents. Both New York City and Puerto Rico are part of the United States. One is a state; the other is a territory with all the rights of citizenship bestowed upon its residents by the US Constitution (except federal voting rights because it's not a fully incorporated state of the Union) and the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917.
Why a number of Americans do not understand this part of their own history is quite simple. The level of education in this country, despite untold billions poured into this giant rat-trap, still produces idiots regardless of race and ethnicity. Do we not teach social studies or American history anymore? Or, have those subject matters been replaced by feel-good subjects like Radical Protests 101 and Man-Made Climate Change 102?
However, no matter that we celebrate every January and hold dear to the legacy and wishes of Dr. Martin Luther King to be a country where color doesn't matter, hatred still persists though not to a greater extent that it did before the 1970s. Some of it is hidden, but no one side can claim to be clean for there are black, Latino, and Asian bigots as well.
So the question: Where do we, as a nation, go from here? Granted, the tweets do not represent a majority of whites in this country any more than if the same were to happen at a basketball or soccer game and the tweeter's race were reversed. It would be silly to believe that.
That said, having watched the video of Marc Anthony singing God Bless America (written by a Russian-born Jew named Irving Berlin in 1918, who went on to become an American citizen and popular composer), how can anyone be seriously offended? Offended by seeing an American of Puerto Rican descent sing one of America's greatest patriotic melody?
So I have to ask, would those tweeters prefer the non-Hispanic, full-blooded white American named Roseanne sing God Bless America or the national anthem again at a baseball game and at the end hock a loogie on the mound for good ole sakes?
In conclusion, let's not turn America's favorite pastime sport into a racial cauldron. Mariano Rivera deserves better!

For nearly two weeks, an air of danger loomed at several covert locations in Broward County, as an elite U.S. military group trained for "urban environment" missions overseas.
Some of the members of the Naval Special Warfare Command's development group used exploding devices. Others were armed with simulated ammunition at a closed park with paid civilians acting as innocent bystanders, and others were in low-flying combat helicopters.
"The training is not in preparation to conduct a specific, real-world, contingency plan" in the area, Special Operations Command spokesman Kenneth McGraw said in an e-mail Monday afternoon.
The "realistic urban" routine training "scenarios" are planned all over the country at unfamiliar locations, McGraw said.
This is not the first time "urban warfare" special operations' training scares onlookers in South Florida. On 2011, helicopters startled many high-rise building residents in Brickell's financial district.
This year, Fort Lauderdale police officers and Broward Sheriff's Office deputies helped coordinate the training's different stages. And although details were confidential, there were some signs of their activities on social media.
"We had so far 15 black helicopters flying over Coral Springs heading in a northern direction," Edward Keckeis posted on YouTube Tuesday. On Monday, John Okane posted a video on YouTube showing helicopters flying near downtown Fort Lauderdale.
"The globe is becoming more and more urban," said Naval War College professor Rick Norton. This means "that the complicated and demanding terrain of a city will be more and more likely to also be future battlegrounds."
Military strategists developed urban warfare techniques when violence in the mountains began to take root in the streets in places like the Balkans, Manila, Mogadishu and now in Afghanistan.
Read a 2013 military publication on urban operations.
With about 2,400 active-duty SEALs in 2013, the special forces are divided into 10 teams. Only men are allowed. The Pentagon may allow women to join the elite special operations forces in 2016 if they meet the same physical and mental standards as men.
"Special forces are trained to "operate in small groups and have the ability to quickly deploy from Navy ships, submarines and aircraft, overseas bases, and forward-based units," said a 2013 congressional report.
The secrecy of the special warfare's development group (DEVGRU) -- formerly known as the legendary SEAL Team Six -- training locations and times in Broward County should not come as a surprise.
Some of their most prestigious accomplishments include taking down Osama bin Laden in 2011, and the 2012 rescue of two aid workers in Somalia.
During the failed Extortion 17 mission in Afghanistan, the Taliban targeted a Boeing Ch-47 Chinook helicopter. The Aug. 6, 2011 incident had the most known U.S. military deaths in a single day in the war on terrorism. And how the Taliban were able to get or plant information that lead to the failed mission remains a mystery to the families of the 38 fallen U.S. service men who died that day.
Among the information classified as secret on the Broward County special operations training was the financial cost. But records show the Department of Defense made the trainings a budgetary priority in 2012 and 2013.
During their South Florida stay in March, participants and trainers used their free time to go fishing, practice their golf swing and enjoy the nightlife. After a completion ceremony Friday, most of them returned to a base in Virginia Beach Saturday.
Their next enemy is unknown. And their next stop is uncertain. On Monday, the White House confirmed special forces were sent to Uganda to help combat Joseph Kony's army and were expected to arrive there this week.
