2 accused of Connellsville woman's murder faced serious charges before
Two Fayette County men accused of brutally attacking and killing a Connellsville woman previously faced criminal charges that should have put them behind bars for years — if not for the imperfect science of prosecuting accused criminals.
Paul Jerome Bannasch of Uniontown and Craig Allen Rugg, both 24, are accused of homicide in the Saturday death of Margaret "Peggy Sue" Kriek, 52, who was strangled before her body was dumped in the Youghiogheny River.
It is not the first time the two men have faced serious criminal charges, according to court records.
Bannasch in 2012 beat a pregnant woman and two other people in two separate incidents within a six-month period.
Rugg was accused of rape in 2011 for having sex with an unconscious woman and is a registered Megan's Law offender.
As those cases made their way through the courts, the most serious charges against the men were withdrawn, including rape and aggravated assault. The men ultimately were sentenced on less-serious charges that netted prison time of only a few months each, according to court records.
District Attorney Jack Heneks declined comment on the prior cases.
In general, he said, plea bargains are necessary because witnesses and victims won't testify.
"A lot of times, the witnesses are unavailable, missing or refuse to follow through on the prosecution," Heneks said. "So we have to drop the charges completely or arrive at a plea bargain on the charges we can prove with the witnesses we have. We can only go to trial with the witnesses we have, not the witnesses we wish we have."
Bannasch had charges of aggravated and simple assault dismissed when the victim failed to show up for a pretrial hearing that challenged the charges, according to court records.
In that case, police said Bannasch on Aug. 18 choked an 18-year-old pregnant woman at her North Union apartment, bashed her head on a kitchen floor and tried to push her out a second-story apartment window as she held onto a 1-year-old child.
The woman later obtained a final protection from abuse order against Bannasch, but she failed to appear for the pretrial hearing. Bannasch pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of resisting arrest and was sentenced to 6 to 23 months in jail.
Six months before that attack, Bannasch was charged with simple assault for punching and kicking a man and woman outside a South Union bar. As part of a plea bargain in that case, Bannasch was sentenced to two years' probation and was ordered to undergo anger-management counseling.
In September, Rugg pleaded guilty to indecent assault for having sex with an unconscious 22-year-old woman at a Menallen residence, according to records. More-serious charges of rape, sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault were dropped with the victim's consent, records show. Rugg was sentenced on Nov. 6 to six to 23 months in jail.
For various reasons, prosecutors sometimes have no choice but to strike plea bargains with defendants, according to Bruce Antkowiak, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at St. Vincent College in Unity.
Victims, particularly of sexual assaults, might not want to testify, Antkowiak said. Other times, circumstances may arise that lessen the chances of a conviction. When that occurs, a prosecutor might resort to a plea bargain to avoid dropping the case in its entirety.
"As a prosecutor, you have to make an informed judgement about, do I push this case to trial, where it can all be lost, or accept a fallback position where at least the individual will be incarcerated for some period of time and there will be some record?" Antkowiak said.
It's unrealistic to expect prosecutors to know which defendants will go on to commit more crimes once they are released from prison, he said.
Bannasch and Rugg were released on parole from jail earlier this year. Bannasch was placed on early parole on May 7, two weeks before serving his minimum sentence, and Rugg was paroled on April 1, according to court records.
Police said the two men and Kriek were drinking at Sidewinders bar on North Water Street in Connellsville at 11:30 p.m. Friday. At 12:19 a.m. on Saturday, witnesses saw the three walking toward the nearby Amtrak train station.
Boy Scouts found Kriek's nude body 9:44 a.m. on Saturday, floating in the Youghiogheny River in Dunbar Township, police said.
In a gravel lot next to the train station, police found some of Kriek's clothing, drag marks and blood splatter. More clothing was found on a riverbank, according to the complaint.
An autopsy report lists Kriek's cause of death as strangulation. Kriek had multiple, "massive" injuries to her face and body, a rib fracture and cuts on her legs, torso, heels and arms, it said.
Trooper Nathaniel Lieberum has charged the two men with homicide, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, unlawful restraint and abuse of a corpse. They are being held in the Fayette County jail without bond.

In contrast to today's media driven divisiveness, however, the script, the Kirkwood Theater Guild's production and the performances resonate with positivity and the triumph of the human spirit.
Set in the southwest, during the post World War II era, the layers of this simple and direct story -- nuns needing help to repair their homestead and build a chapel and boys' school -- are slowly peeled back to reveal the transformational power of mutual need and genuine acceptance.
Recent veteran, Homer Smith, is a likeable man with a strong sense of self and an even greater desire for self-determination. Reginald Pierre brings Homer's character to life with confident certainty in a strong, steady performance, assuring the audience that everything would turn out okay.
Homer is a hard-working man, not quick to judge others but committed to living life on his own terms, nonetheless. He's also kind, handy and fomd of singing; and Pierre does a nice job of keeping Homer likeable, while allowing him to demand respect from those who may judge him by his skin color.
Homer meets his match in Mother Maria Marte, a strong, independent woman in her own right, played with a gentle stubbornness by Kathy Flood Figas.
Mother Marte has recently immigrated to America with a group of young nuns to build a chapel and school for wayward Latin boys. The land the order inherited is practically barren, and simply building the chapel a near-impossible task, but Mother Marte will not easily give up. Figas reveals the Mother's steel core and persistence, as well as her deep faith and unexpected affection. Her facial expressions, while somewhat over-exaggerated, add humor and subtext to the performance.
The nuns in the good mother's flock provide some of the most enjoyable moments of the play. The voices of Sara Rae Womack, Shannon Magee, Ann Hier and Kathryn Weber combine beautifully in several moving musical pieces, creating moments of pure reverence. Those moments were nicely contrasted by the exuberance of their English lessons with Homer, playfully mimicking his southern drawl or dancing with abandon. Together, the women conveyed a true sense of sisterhood that lit up the stage.
The supporting men also turned in solid performances. Their characters helped to reflect both the skepticism present in post-war, pre-civil rights America, and to guide us through the play. In particular, Mark Abel's cheerful, insightful Father Gomez provided narration revealing the shared hopes and values that enabled these people to work together towards a common goal. Appearing as the diner proprietor and wealthy white owner of a lumberyard, Ray Shea and Robert Doyle, respectively, did a nice job of rounding out the ensemble. My only quibble with the casting would be to note that the St. Louis theater community still has far to go before it will be truly diverse.
I was struck by the deft manner with which the script handled racism, segregation and immigration, however. The ideas were neither ignored nor emphasized, they just were. Some of the most successful moments occurred in the transitions bridging scenes. It was here that the characters took time to slow down, reflect and react most genuinely, and I wish this thoughtful approach was more present throughout the performance. As a whole, however, Steve Callahan's direction worked well and was nicely complemented by the quick set changes, effective lighting and incidental sound cues.
Thankfully, this play will not make you wish for a different time. Instead, it effectively and joyfully points out that, even in uncertain times, tolerance, civility and a willingness to help others can bridge many differences.
"Lilies of the Field" runs through March 10th at the Robert G. Reim Theater. For additional information, or to make your reservation, please call 314-821-9956 or visit www.ktg-onstage.org.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: "One of the major trends emerging in the Global Superconductor market is the increasing demand for superconducting MRI equipment. Several factors such as the increase in the number of patients and rising incidences of neurological, oncological, and cardiac diseases across the globe have resulted in the wider adoption of superconducting MRI equipment. Specialized medical professionals constantly upgrade their medical equipment to provide effective diagnosis treatment to their patients. As superconducting MRI equipment produces improved image quality, crucial in the diagnosis of brain injuries and stroke, there has been an increased adoption of such equipment among medical professionals. Further, the increasing need for effective diagnosis is driving the adoption of superconducting MRI equipment in large hospitals, big government institutions, and large diagnostic centers. Thus, the adoption rate of superconducting MRI systems is expected to increase due to their high imaging quality and cost-effectiveness."
According to the report, the growth of the Global Superconductor market is driven by several factors, the most important of which is the increasing demand for advanced power grid infrastructure. The increasing demand for electricity and high transmission loss in the power grid has been driving the adoption of superconductors in the power grid infrastructure.
Further, the report states that although the Global Superconductor market is being driven by several factors, it has also been witnessing the presence of severe challenges. One such challenge in this market is the high cost of superconductor cooling systems. The development and deployment of superconductors require cooling systems such as cryo-coolers, and as these cryo-coolers are very costly, it adds to their total cost of production, leading to reduced adoption of superconductors.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Introduction / History
There were 14 Deaf schools established in the 1800 and today at least three Deaf secondary schools in the country, Rome, Turin and Padua. There are at least 5 elementary schools with Deaf programs scattered in the country with many private mainstreamed day classes in religious schools. Signs are forbidden in the schools but widely used in Deaf clubs. There is a strong oralist tradition in the country, which is why there are many regional Italian dialects.
There are at least 2 Deaf churches in Rome and Florence with many clubs scatted through the whole country with sports clubs being very popular. With only two Deaf churches and multiple signed ministries there is much need for leadership training throughout the country. Many Deaf are underemployed due to a lack of adequate vocational training and live on a small government subsidy. Deaf seem to be somewhat apathetic about religious things as the country has a history of institutionalized Roman Catholic influence. This means that many Deaf attend mass without real compression of the meaning of the service. The greatest need in the country is for Deaf to understand God's word and become believers who are grounded in their faith.

An international investment company upgraded Adams County's bond rating, county officials said March 26.
Moody's Investors Service bumped the county up from A1 to Aa3, a move commissioners said will make it a more attractive client when pursuing bonds or credit lines.
The upgrade reflects the county's improved financial position for the last several years, said Randy Phiel, Adams County commissioner chair.
Moody's, one of the "Big Three" credit-rating firms, recognized a sizeable tax base with an average socioeconomic profile as one of Adams County's strengths, Phiel said.
The county will be viewed as a more favorable client when borrowing money or taking out credit lines, said Al Penksa, county manager.
"Some banks will not consider single A," Penksa said. "Now we're double A and in a stronger financial position to be recognized."
The improved bond rating will save the county on basis points for future money borrowing and refinancing loans, Penksa said.
County officials could take advantage of its improved bond rating soon if it takes out a loan to fund a proposed $8.3 million building project in Straban Township. Adams County President Judge Michael George presented a facility advisory committee's findings to county officials March 26, urging commissioners to advance a project that will get the county out of lease agreements and put the county's probation, domestic relations and children and youth services departments into one building.
Advisory committee: Adams County should construct new building in Straban Township
Adams County's credit improved to A1 in November 2011. Since then, Penksa said the county has strived toward establishing a healthy financial position.
Selling the county nursing home for more than $5 million in 2011 helped the county build its reserves, Penksa said, noting the boost the sale had on the county's rainy-day fund. Past commissioners said Green Acres Nursing and Rehabilitation Center took roughly $1 million out of the county's annual general fund.
"This didn't happen by accident," said Jim Martin, county commissioner. "You put down the track in the direction you want to do, but you have to get the engine to follow that track. Al drove that train down that track and led us to where we are."
Noteworthy, Martin said, is that the county was able to improve its credit in a sluggish and challenging economic time.
But while the improvement is positive for the county, commissioner Marty Qually said county officials should not get complacent.
Since taking office in 2012, commissioners have been working extensively toward economic development and increasing the county's tax base, Qually said.
And that needs to continue in order for the county's credit to improve beyond Aa3, Phiel said.
"We've been taking a strong step working with the industrial development authority, the economic development corporation and municipal partners so when the economy turns, Adams County is set with the right tax base," Qually said.

Raanjhanaa Review
Critic Score 66

Indicine Review
Indicine | Indicine Team
The intentions of Aanand L Rai seem genuine. He wants to show us the world where he grew up in, wants to romanticize the feeling of nostalgia and unrequited love. But where he falters in, is when he gets out of this zone and tackles issues like revolution and student politics. He undoes the damage a bit with an unpredictable climax that hits you hard.
Critics Reviews
Bollywood Hungama | Taran Adarsh
Dhanush, who makes his Hindi film debut with RAANJHANAA, is simply outstanding. To state that he's the mainstay of the film would be most appropriate. You take back his innocence, his dedication for his beloved, his emotions as you exit the auditorium. Here's a performance that deserves an ovation! The actor in Sonam was waiting for a role that would make the spectator sit up and notice it and the one in RAANJHANAA gives her that opportunity. The headstrong and emotional persona comes across so well in this film. In addition, like DELHI 6, she's devoid of makeup and that makes the character so appealing. This film is a huge leap frontward for Sonam as an actor. Abhay Deol is understated, but effectual in a special appearance. It's a superior act, something you've come to expect from the talented actor.
The Times Of India | Meena Iyer
And around this time, the chinks in the script also show. All of a sudden, Raanjhanaa seems like two different films. In the first half, it is an interesting, intense, introspective love story, where you empathise with the characters. In the second half, the love story gets diluted to make way for gobbledygook political ideology that is an irritant.
Koimoi | Mohar Basu
Handling a fractured script, Anand Rai has his focus misplaced. A clear lack of believable novelty in the film post-interval, the narrative ends up being unnecessarily complicated and unjustified. The salvage point is in the antics that surface up enough in the film's first half.
Average Movie
Rediff | Sukanya Verma
In reality as opposed to movies, people are changeable, making their mind, prone to think differently at different junctures, Raanjhanaa's protagonists embody this impermanence and that's what makes it unpredictable, startling. What I disliked: For all its romantic zeal, Raanjhanaa treats its women rather roughly.
DNA India | Tushar Joshi
Aanand Rai's Banaras comes alive with Rahman's slow yet melodious tunes and some amazing camera work.
We wish he had stuck to the feel and ethos of the first half and let that flow into the climax. Instead the storyline takes a nosedive post interval like a jet running out of fuel.
Glamsham | Martin D'Souza
Overall, RAANJHANAA is a poetic journey for a film lover. Right from its opening approach, performances from the lead actors, the supporting cast, the music and the manner in which the story unfolds... it's is magical. The dialogues require special mention: hard-hitting, yet laced with a heavy dose of light humour.
Nowrunning | Mansha Rastogi
Aanand L Rai's true strength comes in the casting where he scores an ace by roping in Dhanush for a part that could be played by him and him alone. It's his portrayal and the age-span that he convincingly plays showcases his caliber and re-establishes the reason why he is a superstar down South. Sonam Kapoor who has till now been criticised for her acting too displayes her talent and complements Dhanush well. Abhay Deol in little cameo too is very effective.
Zeenews | Resham Sengar
Performance wise, expect nothing but a good show from everyone in the film. In his title role, Dhanush exudes excellence whenever he appears on the screen. Not with the kind of looks that a Bollywood hero is expected to have, Dhanush has hit the bull's eye and that too as a romantic hero in his Hindi debut – all thanks to his acting finesse. He has reiterated the fact that a good actor is not at the mercy of good looks. To sum it up, this `Raanjhanaa` is charmer.
Indian Express | Shubhra Gupta
The playfulness and intensity that Dhanush, making his Bollywood debut, exhibits consistently is what keeps the film ticking. His complete surrender to the role leads to the kind of unselfconsciousness that is so absent in Bollywood newbies who try playing lovers: if you want to show me your perfect abs, how will you let yourself screw up your face while crying for your mehbooba? And that is what makes Dhanush, who is familiar to north Indian audience only through the chartbuster Kolaveri Di, so believable.
Average Movie
Sify | Sonia Chopra
The film has dialogue and scenes that will stay with you. After debating with herself, this writer has chosen to give you an insight into one of the film's best scenes. This is where a character is climbing the building's pipes to meet his beloved. When caught by the student political party, he says he's a thief.
Deccan Chronicle | Khalid Mohamed
Like most Bollywood films, the first-half is fairly smooth and lovey-dovey. Post-intermission, there's a U-turn to the political side of campus life, reminiscent of Prakash Jha's 'Rajneeti' capers. The ideology proposed by the director and writer is surfacial when it isn't cloudy.
Indiaglitz | Vishal Verma
The confidence by which Aanand Rai takes the movie to an unconventional route deserves high praise..Himanshu again supports the cause of his director and we get a pulsating climax which knocks you out of the blue and Vow!! What a way to end.. real Ashiqui.. must say..
Bollywood Life | Deboshree Ghosh
While the first half is all gloss and show the dreamy world of love and passion set against the backdrop of Benares, the second half is drenched in inspiring youth oriented politics set in streets thronging with rallies that wind through Delhi. Watch it for the super artiste Dhanush and also for Sonam's rising acting graph – which has definitely reached an impressive point – and, of course, for Rai's unconventional and moving storytelling.
Mumbai Mirror | Karan Anshuman
The excellent writing radiates to masterful direction. Rai's characters are all feisty. Every one of them. They move with purpose, even when they have none. What an incredible, refreshing reading and extension and twist to the Brahmin boy, Muslim girl Bollywood conundrum. And handled with such maturity and grace!
Mid-Day India | Shubha Shetty-Saha
And then the second half is when the pace dips, the sincerity of the storyline gets somewhat hazy and the film gets wee bit disappointing. An absolutely believable one-sided romance takes a slightly deceptive political drama twist and I am not sure if that is what you wanted it to be. It is unpredictable, yes, but not in a great, believable way.
India Today | Vinayak Chakravorty
The build-up is exciting over the first hour but the script (Himanshu Sharma) is too feeble post interval. The film totally slumps in the second half.
Dhanush uses to his advantage exactly all that you thought would go against him. His average look and lack of six packs works wonderfully for Kundan. Sonam makes a pretty Zoya and Abhay makes the odd mediocre scene look exceptional with sheer screen presence.
Hindustan Times | Anupama Chopra
The dialogues by Himanshu Sharma are the highlight of the film. The lines are pithy, earthy and wonderfully funny. Snaking his camera through the streets of Benares, director Aanand L Rai creates an intimate and lived milieu. AR Rahman's music, especially the gorgeous Tum Tak, layers the narrative further.
NDTVMovies | Saibal Chatterjee
Raanjhanaa gets somewhat weighed down in the second half as it factors into its plot many of the recent people's protests (anti-corruption, Bhatta Parsaul, the Nirbhaya gang rape) that have rocked Delhi.
Bollyspice | Shalu Dhyani
There is not a single bad performance in Raanjhana. Sonam has never looked more beautiful or acted better. Though she is still one-dimensional as an actor, she brings in the required immaturity to her portrayal of the flighty Zoya. Abhay Deol is likeable though a little low on energy.
Yahoo | Rummana Ahmed
The second half focuses too much on Zoya's silences, her latent grief and anger that she internalizes and never really vents. Haven't we dabbled too long on the shades of grey? It would have been great to see the director make a departure from the oft trodden path and have Sonam unapologetically complete her vindication. The climax just falls short of our expectations when it refrains from taking the big leap and instead choses to play it safe.
ApunKaChoice | Nikhil Kumar
Performances by Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor are simply sterling. Dhanush in his debut Hindi film is simply peerless despite his heavily accented Hindi. Sonam matches him at every step, but looks a bit out of sorts while mouthing her mind about social issues in the second half. Yes, the film packs in several relevant social issues like the farmer's agitation and protests against corruption and rape in the second half. Though they don't really fit in the love story, Rai aptly chooses not to dwell on them much.
Movietalkies | Joginder Tuteja
It would be unfair to pick one actor over another in Raanjhanaa. Dhanush makes a terrific debut in Bollywood with an endearing act that is so controlled, yet impressive. Never going wrong in a single frame, he holds your attention right through this two and a half hours affair. Sonam is a revelation and though she has seen appreciation coming her way in earlier films, this one would stand out as a milestone and her career best till date.
IBN Live | Rajeev Masand
'Tanu Weds Manu' director Anand Rai exploits the vibrancy of the holy city, and yet gives us a lived-in feel of Benares, rather than taking the typical travel-brochure approach. He banks as much on the unmistakable charm of his leading man to deliver a terrific first hour that breezes by with plenty comic moments and some genuinely heartfelt scenes.

MONDAY, Sept. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Beyaz, a combination estrogen/progestin contraceptive that also contains a folate, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The folate, levomefolate calcium, is a B-vitamin that's among a class of vitamins recommended for women of childbearing age. Lack of dietary folate has been associated with neural tube birth defects, which involve deformities of the fetal brain or spinal cord. The newly approved drug is designed to help prevent this type of defect among mothers who conceive shortly after discontinuing the drug, the FDA said in a news release.
Beyaz was studied in a multi-center U.S. trial involving 379 women aged 18 to 40. The most frequently reported side effects included uterine bleeding, nausea, breast tenderness and headache. Other serious side effects included blood clots and liver disease, the FDA said.
Women 35 or older should not use Beyaz, which could increase their risk of "serious cardiovascular events," the agency said.
Beyaz is based on the already approved contraceptive YAZ, which includes the same amounts of estrogen and progestin, the FDA said.
The newly approved drug is produced by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals.
More information
The FDA has more about this approval.

Under the deal, which starts September 27, holders of Scholastic common stock will have the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price within the range of $27 to $31 a share.
Slightly over 5.5 million shares will be repurchased at most, representing 16.2% of its currently outstanding common stock.
Scholastic will fun the transaction using available cash and temporary drawings on its existing credit facility.
The low and high ends of the price range reflect a 5.8% and 21.5% premium, respectively, to Wednesday's closing price of $25.51 a share.
The New York-based company's chief executive, Richard Robinson, said the offering is intended to return cash to shareholders in addition to its current dividend.
Meanwhile, the children's publishing, education and media company said Monday that it widened first-quarter loss.
Scholastic posted net loss of 35.2 million, or 95 cents a share, compared with a loss of $23 million, or 68 cents a share, in the same quarter last year.
First-quarter revenue was $290.9 million, down from $315.6 million in the prior-year period, and missing the Street's view of $329.2 million.
Despite the loss, Scholastic affirmed its fiscal 2011 outlook for revenue in the range of $1.9 billion to $2 billion, and earnings in the range of $1.95 to $2.20 a share.

text: PhD Stripped From German Education Minister Annette Schavan plagiarized 30-year-old thesis: university By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Feb 6, 2013 12:09 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (7) (Newser) – Irony alert: Germany's minister of education just lost her doctorate. The University of Düsseldorf has stripped Annette Schavan of her PhD, it announced yesterday, because she carried out "a deliberate deception through plagiarism." An anonymous blogger last year accused Schavan of plagiarizing sections of her thesis more than 30 years ago, the New York Times explains. Schavan has always denied the allegations and, according to the BBC, intends to appeal. Within hours of the university's decision, German politicians and commentators were calling for Schavan's head, der Spiegel reports. She would be the second member of Angela Merkel's Cabinet ousted for plagiarism; Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg resigned in a similar scandal in 2011, and Schavan, ironically, was outspoken in denouncing him. A Merkel spokesman today said the prime minister has "full confidence" in Schavan. Annette Schavan reads files at the beginning of the weekly cabinet meeting at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Jan. 23, 2013.

Title Transfers or obtaining a New Certificate of Title in Texas
A title must be obtained when an individual purchases a new vehicle in TX. A title transfer must also be completed when a used vehicle is sold or gifted, or when a vehicle changes hands. A certificate of title issued by the state of Texas is a document that proves legal ownership of a vehicle. A title must be obtained when an individual purchases a new vehicle. A title transfer must also be completed when a used vehicle is sold or gifted, or when a vehicle changes hands as a result of the death of the vehicle's owner. In Texas, a vehicle should be registered and titled in the buyer's name in 20 business days to avoid penalties.
For new vehicles, the licensed dealer that sold the vehicle is required to accept and submit the required titling information and fees on behalf of the buyer. Ensure that you receive the receipt for the title with your name from the dealer within 20 business days. Those interested in applying for a new title should refer to the Vehicle Titles Overview page and the Vehicle Titles and Registration Frequently Asked Questions on the Texas Department of Transportation website.
Sale/Purchase or Gift of a Used Vehicle
When you purchase a used vehicle, or obtain one as a gift, the title must be legally transferred into your name. This is done by obtaining the following documents, and submitting them along with the appropriate fees to your local County Tax-Assessor Collector's Office:
- The current title, with the assignment completed by the seller or donor (signing the title over to you). The title must include the federal odometer disclosure, if the vehicle is less than ten years old.
- If the title does not indicate the date of sale and selling price, a completed Bill of Sale, signed by both current and new owner and notarized, is required.
- An Odometer Disclosure Statement, if the title does not include this information and the vehicle is less than ten years old.
- A Vehicle Title Application signed by the seller.
- Vehicle registration receipt from the seller.
- If applicable, the original or copy of the vehicle's financing statement or security agreement.
- Proof of liability insurance coverage.
If you are the seller, protect yourself from being responsible for the sold vehicle by filing a Vehicle Transfer Notification within 30 days of selling the vehicle. Once this form has been submitted, the vehicle's record will show that it has been sold. Mail the completed vehicle transfer notification form to:
TxDOT Vehicle Titles and Registration Division
PO Box 26417
Austin, TX 78755-0417
Along with the appropriate transfer of title documents above, the buyer will need to submit the following fees:
- 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax on the purchase price or the standard presumptive value.
- Title transfer, registration, and local fees which depend on the County Tax-Assessor Collector's Office.
Transfer of Title Following Death of Vehicle Owner
In the event of the death of the vehicle owner, the title is often transferred to the heirs or someone else identified in the owner's will. The procedures and fees for this type of transfer are similar to those outlined above. In addition, it is important to determine how the estate of the deceased has been settled by the heir(s).
In some cases, the heirs may need to complete an Affidavit of Heirship, and provide copies of both the death certificate and the will (or a notarized statement of its contents), if there is one.
For more information, please call our customer help line at (888) 368-4689 or (512) 465-3000.
Appropriate title transfer documents and fees should be submitted to the County Tax-Assessor Collector's Office.
Additional Information
- Contact the local County Tax-Assessor Collector's Office if you wish to add, remove, or change a name on a vehicle title for reason other than those discussed above.
- If there is an existing lien on the vehicle, there will be additional requirements for transferring the title. Contact the local County Tax-Assessor Collector's Office for more information.
- A valid title provides proof of ownership of the vehicle. However, remember that a title transfer does not entitle the new owner(s) to legally operate the vehicle. For this, refer to the appropriate license and registration information.
Reviews of Title Transfers or obtaining a New Certificate of Title in Texas
title is in mine & my fathers name . what do i need to do to remove my father from title ?
Am Malvina Alexei. I feel so joyful today because of the help Doctor Okpamen has rendered to me for getting my Husband back with his spell. I have been married for 6 years and it has been so terrible because my husband was cheating on me and was seeking for a divorce. But when i came across Doctor Okpamen website on the internet posted by a lady and i decided to get in touch with him and i explained my situation to him and then seek his help but to my greatest surprise he told me that he will help me with my case for there is no problem without a solution. Here i am celebrating because my Husband is back home and am really enjoying my marriage, what a great celebration. i will keep on testifying on the internet because Doctor Okpamen is truly a real spell caster. Why not contact Doctor Okpamen now if you are facing any challenges in your relationship life. Email: ( email@example.com ).
My marriage has been a blessing till 4 months ago when my whole life almost got sucked. My ex-wife and wanted me back by all means and wanted to break my marriage. she set me up in many occasions showing the pictures to my wife that am back to her this made my wife file for an instant divorce and wanted to leave my life in total. and even my 4 kids wanted were disappointed in me. but i never have any intentions of going back. The i went to many spell casters but they all failed taking my money away. I lived in grief for 3 good months without any plan of getting out of this mess. till i met an old skull friend who show me to email@example.com a spell witch who then restore the happiness to my family and my life. He spell worked so fast that i could not even believe it. he's great for as much i can tell. Am still grateful to he till tomorrow for he spell works.
My wife canceled the divorce and came back with apologies all for this spell powers.
I am currently in the final stages of divorce in TX. The divorce decree states that a car currently in my name only that is free and clear shall be given to my soon to be ex wife. I have the title. What is the procedure and what form or paperwork is required. We are currently living apart.
I bought a cash car in Jan 2015 from a dealer. He closed/sold the dealership to another individual before giving me the title. By the time the new owner took possession, it was over 90 days and the new owner will not/can not transfer the title to me. Who owns the car? and What can I do?
My daughter was given an 81 truck by her mom. It needs to be repaired before I let her drive it. I want to get it in her name before I do so that her mom does not come back after I repair it and take it back since it is in her name. Tax assessor tells me in order to get title transferred it has to be registered which also requires inspection. It will not pass inspection at this time. The reason I need to fix it. Is there a way to transfer the title with out getting it registered?
i just bought a truck from a private owner and i didnt get the bill of sell. i have the titles but i dont think she signed them how do i go about getting them registered state requirement way?
My car is registered in Texas but the title wasn't transferred from NY to Texas. I made an error filling out the NY title for sale in Texas. I cannot request a new NY title because the car is not registered in NY and I no longer have a NY license. Can I obtain a new title for the car but have it be a Texas Title? Would I go to the court house to apply?
I just bought a car and got the title but the owner said he never transferred it to his name and the previous owner did not sign the title. Am I still able to transfer the title to me if its not signed?
Question if I buy a car from someone in Texas with Arizona plates and try to transfer the title,would Texas DMV check if they have liens on there title? Would I be responsible for liens if they do have some even though I have the title because I payed for it?
What do you do if the new owner of my car has not transferred the title and is now racking up tons of charges on the tollways in Houston! The person is avoiding all contact with me now as well. Do I need to hire an attorney? The people at the tollways at talking about how I could be arrested when I am not the one driving the car... I do not even own the car anymore!
You should have done this from the start, but most people don't know to do it. Do it ASAP- you can do it online! Hopefully you are within 30 days from sale. You should call the DMV to see what action you can take about the tolls.
From the TX DMV page:
"To protect yourself, file a Vehicle Transfer Notification. When a vehicle transfer notification is received, TxDMV updates the motor vehicle record to show the vehicle as sold. When you file the notification within 30 days from the date of sale, you cannot be held responsible for parking tickets and toll violations that have been committed by the person who purchased the vehicle.
If you submit a Vehicle Transfer Notification and are still receiving parking tickets and/or tolls, you may contact the department for a confirmation letter or submit a Form VTR-275, Request for Texas Motor Vehicle Information, that shows the month and year the vehicle was transferred."
How do I add my name to my spouse's car registration?
My partner's father passed away suddenly in the spring. He left no will - the only copy in existence was destroyed at his request at the time of his divorce ten years ago, and he stubbornly refused to draft a new one with the assumption that he had plenty of time (he had ten years, so...) The four children have amicably agreed that my partner is allowed to keep the car in question, and we have the title, but there is no will stating that he can have it. What does he need to provide to transfer the title over to his name, since there is no will to display?
My fiance died last April and I am still in possession of her car. I can't find the title among all of her stuff and she has no immediate family to hand off her belongings to... She has no "estate" per say, no outstanding debts and there was no will. Can I take ownership of the car without a title? It has been on my insurance since before her death. Where do I start?
So I bought a vehicle for $300 from one of my brothers friends. The guy that gave him the vehicle passed away and now I don't know what to do because there is no title nor registration papers but I have the keys and the vehicle. What can I do to get the vehicle registered in my name.
How do I find out which of my deceased grandparents the title of a vehicle is in?
My brother took my father's car when he became too old to drive. Now he claims that he got very little money for it and that money is his. Is there anyway to find out how much he sold it for?
my husband sold our car in texas he only did a promissay note and did not give the guy the title legally who ownes the car and can i get it back he will not be able to title or tag the vehicle correct i want my car
Texas requires you to provide a good title at the time of purchase by another individual. If you are allowing the person to make payments (owner financing it), then you have the right to list yourself on the title application as a lien holder, giving you the right to repossess it in case of default on payments, but you still have to give him/her a title. As a lien holder, you should receive the negotiable title and he/she should receive a non-negotiable title as proof he is purchasing the car. Once the payments have been satisfactorily made, you must surrender the negotiable title to the purchaser after signing the release of lien on the back of the title and dating the release of lien. To sell the car without providing a negotiable title is cause for the purchaser to sue you, and it is a criminal offense in Texas.
How do I transfer title of Mexican owned 18 wheeler trailers to Texas buyers?

I was transfering with the Williamson County Tax Assessor- Collector but the car will probably be sold in around greater-houston.

my nephew brought a car for 1500.00 cash, he can not get a hold of the guy who sold it to him, is there anyway he can register it without the title
I bought a 1964 complete car with a Bill of Sale from a guy. He's assumed to be at an address given me in Selma, Alabama. I was told the car was from Alabama and
prior to the 1970's the State of Alabama didn't issue or require titles of ownership. How do I turn this ownership by Bill of Sale, thru the DMV, into a Texas title?
What to do if you can't get a hold of previous previous owner because the previous owner never got title transferex
You have to go to the last recorded vehicle owner on the title. You can find that out if you don't have the title by taking the VIN or license plate number to your local tax assessor and they can run a TWIX Sheet with the information on it. You'll have to locate the one on the title. If the title was filled out with the name of the one you purchased it from, and you can fill out an affidavit of fact stating the title was wrongfully assigned and should be (then put your name in the blank on the affidavit). You can draw up the affidavit yourself, but you still need to locate the person who is shown on the title as the legal owner. That person will sign the affidavit, and you need the same person to sign a TX 130-U (Application for Texas Title), and make sure they had signed the title previously.
I need to get a new texas certificate of title for my old car, i have misplace my old title. Where do i go to get a new one. Ford Focus 2001.
In Texas, you can apply for a lost title. You can do that in person at your DMV or you can submit an Application for a Certified Copy of Title (form VTR-34 which is available online) You can print the Form VTR-34, fill it out, and provide a scanned copy or photocopy of EITHER your drivers license (front and back) or a valid US Passport, and a check or money order for the applicable fee for the lost title. (See the current form for the fee amount ($2.00 for mail in application, $5.45 if you go to the DMV in person) The fees and the mailing address if you want to do it by mail is on the form VTR-34. You can receive the title back in 7-10 days, sometimes even quicker. I've gotten them in 3 days in the past.

China Heavyweight feat. music written by Olivier Alary at Sundance
China Heavyweight a film featuring a soundtrack written by Olivier Alary (Ensemble) will be at Sundance next year.
The film is about, a Master coach in China recruiting poor rural teenagers and turning them into Western-style boxing champions. The top students face dramatic choices as they graduate -- should they fight for the collective good or for themselves? A metaphor for the choices everyone in the New China faces now.
Sundance describes how it 'artfully captures the playfulness among the trainees, their grueling conditioning, and the guiding principle that athletic achievement is for their country, rather than themselves. Director Yung Chang returns to the Sundance Film Festival (Up the Yangtze screened in 2008) with an intimately observed film that both explores and reflects social change and development in modern China.
Olivier also wrote the music for Yung Chang's previous film a documentary Up The Yangtze, which was nomiated for the Grand Jury Award at Sundance as well as winning a twelve awards at other film festivals.

Amcu stays put as platinum strike extends to 12 weeksComment on this story
Johannesburg - The 12-week strike that's halted most South African mines of the three biggest platinum producers will continue as long as the companies refuse to improve offers, the leader of the union calling the stoppage said.
"This protracted strike has been a long but necessary journey for AMCU members, who have made sacrifices to transform the current slave-wage system in the mining sector," Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union President Joseph Mathunjwa told reporters today in Pretoria, the capital.
There's been "no traction from employers, who are stuck on their 9 percent offer. Our members remain resolute in their demands."
The union, which is the biggest at Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum and Lonmin, wants the companies to raise basic monthly pay to 12,500 rand over four years from as little as 5,000 rand now, which the producers say they can't afford.
Inflation was 5.9 percent in February.
More than 70,000 members of the union have been on strike since January 23 in support of higher wages in South Africa, which accounts for more than two-thirds of global platinum supply.
The companies have lost 13.1 billion rand in revenue while workers have forfeited 5.8 billion rand in pay, according to a website set up by the producers.
The AMCU has started a fund to support families of striking members, with the organisation making 1 million rand available and office bearers contributing 50,000 rand, Mathunjwa said.
Company Marches
Over the past two months, the union's leaders and members have marched to the head offices of each of the producers to hand over a list of demands.
"We will continue to engage with the employers in finding a settlement as soon as possible," Mathunjwa said.
The AMCU last year displaced the National Union of Mineworkers as the biggest representative of employees on South Africa's platinum belt.
The NUM is part of the Congress of South African Trade Unions, an ally of the ruling African National Congress, while the AMCU says it's apolitical.
Attempts have been made "to put pressure on our members to denounce AMCU and join employers' sweetheart unions," Mathunjwa said.
The NUM has been accepting AMCU members and has regained recognition at Anglo American Platinum, General Secretary Frans Baleni told state-owned Lesedi FM yesterday.
While the company notes reports by the NUM on an increase in the number of employees joining the union, the producer will have to undertake a verification process before it can comment, Mpumi Sithole, a spokeswoman for Anglo American Platinum, said in an e-mailed response to questions today.
No meetings on the strike are expected until after the Easter holidays that end on April 22, AMCU Treasurer Jimmy Gama said in Pretoria. - Bloomberg News

Good Morning...again many thanks for taking time to comment on my previous uploads.
Since my start as a photographer, I have always enjoyed natural light...nothing beats it imo, however, I was continually asked if I did studio shoots and lost a lot of business because I did not have a studio. I had to make the descision to build a studio which I did...a very small studio, but one none the less.
Having only worked in a studio once...a couple of years back, my knowledge of studio work is almost non existant. Here where I live, the photographers are not a very helpful bunch, they're all afraid that their work will be duplicated and customers stolen from them - how silly considering we all have our very own set of eyes that see things so differently from the next person.
So...I had to do some google work and checked out some stuff here on EPZ (how grateful I am for EPZ - I have learnt so much in the past few years)
I have to admit...I still don't know much at all. Then a very good and old friend of mine living in the UK gave me 4 "letters" of advice - K.I.S.S. - Keep it simple Stupid - hahaha
So I tried, I invited a couple of people to act as my guinea pigs week after week and gave my best with little knowledge of what I was actually doing!
So...over the next days, I will be uploading some of the pics that I took and would sincerely appreciate any advice and help...please feel free to crit (but please be kind...cos I have a teeny weeny heart hahahaha)

Promises, promises. I know. I told you days ago I would post two more salads and an appetizer for your Mother's Day menu, which is THIS WEEK. It's been a little hectic around here.
For one, Stephen returned home from his mission to Puebla in March. That deserves its own post (later). Here's a little glimpse of the "most wonderful day, ever" .
All good stuff. Just not a lot of blogging time.
Alrightly. The Mother's Day Menu 2013:
Salad number one. Loved this recipe. All of the main ingredients are my favorites alone, but this combo is one of those "match made in heaven" deals. Creamy Roquefort cheese, soft butter lettuce, toasted sweetened walnuts, dried cranberries, a crunchy apple, and bacon.
Your mom is going to love this.
Cape Cod Salad
print recipe
8 ounces thick-cut bacon
12 ounces baby arugula, or butter lettuce
1 large apple, I like Gala or Granny Smith, skin on, sliced thin
1 cup toasted walnut halves, 1 tablespoons sugar if desired
1/2 cup dried cranberries
6 ounces blue cheese, such as Roquefort, crumbled
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove bacon from package, keeping bacon in one slab, lay on cutting board and slice into 1 inch thick slices. Fry in non stick pan over medium high heat, separating pieces as you cook. When bacon is cooked and crispy , remove from heat. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, orange zest, orange juice, mustard, maple syrup, 1 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
In a large bowl, toss together the greens, apple, walnuts, cranberries, bacon and blue cheese.
When ready to serve, toss all salad ingredients with just enough dressing to lightly coat leaves of lettuce.

Mt. Pleasant teen, 39 others from Children's Festival Chorus will perform April 14 at Carnegie Hall
A Mt. Pleasant teen soon will experience what many only dream about.
Mollie Landman, 13, daughter of the Rev. Randy and Dawn Landman, will take the stage April 14 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
The teen and 39 other members of the Children's Festival Chorus of Pittsburgh — based out of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh — will spend four days in New York City. Their trip will culminate in the performance of a lifetime.
Children's Festival Chorus of Pittsburgh Artistic Director Christine Jordanoff said the CFC will participate in the Festival of Choirs, sponsored by Manhattan Concert Productions.
"We chose to apply for this festival because of the performance venue — Carnegie Hall and the conductor, internationally renowned Henry Leck.
"Travel is a great educator for kids. We'll be singing in a chorus of 225 kids from all over the states and British Columbia," Jordanoff said."It's a chance for our local singers to get to know others with the same interests and to understand how we fit in the grand scheme of music-making."
The CFC was established in 1983 initially to support the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's inaugural performance of Mahler's Third Symphony. Since then, it has become one of the nation's premier children's choral ensembles and has trained more than 2,200 young singers. In order to become part of the chorus, children in nine counties in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia are invited, based upon competitive auditions.
Jordanoff, a professor and director of choral organizations at Duquesne University's Mary Pappert School of Music, leads the group. The singers have performed choral selections in classical, folk, traditional and popular styles in more than 25 different languages.
Last month, Landman joined the chorus in performing at Heinz Hall. The group performed some musical numbers on its own and then joined several other performing groups, which included The Three Rivers Young People's Orchestra and the Duquesne Symphony Orchestra in performing the "Carmina Burana."
"I like the experiences it gives me," Landman said.
Dawn Landman said her daughter performed with the chorus during the "One Young World Convention" at the Petersen Events Center in 2012, when former President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker.
"I don't think she realizes how fortunate she is — at 13 years old — to have the life experiences that some people long for that may never get to experience," Dawn Landman said.
Mollie Landman said she has been a member of the performance group for the past five years. Jordanoff said CFC treats students as "young artists" and believe that they have the potential to make music at a very high level. She said Mollie Landman has responded to that and has excelled because of it.
Landman has trained with the Pittsburgh CLO Academy and Broadway Center for the Performing Arts and received vocal instruction from Cindy Best at West Virginia University. She has appeared in musicals at the Geyer Performing Arts Center, where she portrayed Duffy in "Annie," and at California University in "A Christmas Carol."
A seventh-grader at Mt. Pleasant Area Junior/Senior High School, Landman appeared last month in the school's production of "Little Shop of Horrors."
During the performance at Carnegie Hall, the CFC will perform with choruses from British Columbia, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana.
In addition to rehearsals and the performance, Mollie Landman, her mother and the rest of the CFC group will see a Broadway show, visit the Top of the Rock, take a cruise of New York Harbor and see other New York City tourist spots.

You'll be surprised to hear that Miley Cyrus' latest antic involves neither twerking nor tattoos. Instead, it's about her hair—but not about that platinum pixie atop her head.
No, it appears that Miley has bleached her eyebrows, rending them almost completely invisible and transforming her face into something extremely alien-like. Her new brows debuted next to Miranda Kerr (because apparently they're friends?) late last night on Instagram, with nary a caption as to why she's chosen this new look.
Time for a change? Probably. Getting ready to stir up more chatter this weekend when she performs at the American Music Awards? Almost definitely.
What do you think of Miley Cyrus' new bleached eyebrows?

For over 100 years, WRJ has annually published the Art Calendar to showcase Jewish artists and to give them a larger and more knowledgeable audience.
Rabbi Rick Jacobs is president of the Union for Reform Judaism, the congregational arm of the Reform Jewish Movement in North America.
A longtime and devoted creative change agent, Rabbi Jacobs spent 20 years as a dynamic, visionary spiritual leader at Westchester Reform Temple (WRT) in Scarsdale, New York. During his tenure, he reshaped communal worship, transformed the congregation into a community of lifelong learners, and strengthened the synagogue's commitment to vibrancy and inclusion. Under Rabbi Jacobs' leadership, WRT completed a new "green" sanctuary, one of only a handful of Jewish houses of worship in the nation to carry this designation.
Prior to his tenure at WRT, Rabbi Jacobs served the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, where he founded and co-directed the first synagogue-based homeless shelter in New York City. He was ordained in 1982 by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in New York, where he received numerous excellence awards. Deeply committed to the State of Israel, Rabbi Jacobs has studied for two decades at Jerusalem's Shalom Hartman Institute, where he is now a senior rabbinic fellow.
Rabbi Jacobs is a product of the Reform Movement, and has held numerous leadership posts within the URJ, the CCAR, ARZA and WUPJ. He also has served on the boards
of Jewish organizations in the community-at-large, including American Jewish World Service, UJA-Federation of New York, and, since its inception in 1996, Synagogue 2000 and its successor, Synagogue 3000.
Dedicated to global social justice issues, Rabbi Jacobs was part of a delegation that assessed disaster response following Haiti's devastating earthquake in 2010. He also observed the plight of Darfur refugees as part of an international humanitarian mission to the Chad-Darfur border area in 2005, and in 2009, participated in an annual conference of Muslim and Christian leaders, held in Qatar, designed to build understanding between the West and the Muslim world.
Rabbi Jacobs and his wife Susan K. Freedman have three children Aaron, David and Sarah.
