Hi Alex,
  
  Thanks for posting with us. Your article has been centered. In the  future, please do go ahead and alert us of your postings. We usually  don't post news that aren't local, but given that Rhode Island doesn't  have an IMC yet, we'll be happy to post indy news from there.
  
  peace,
  Sofia
