Heartbroken Tori Spelling 'will never trust' husband Dean McDermott again
A week after Tori Spelling's husband, Dean McDermott, checked into rehab amid two-timing reports, her camp is opening up about her "secret torment" at the state of their seven-year marriage.
"She once said she would never split up her family, and she seems to mean it," a Tori source tells People magazine. "However, after the latest cheating rumors, Tori must have put her foot down. She likely gave him an ultimatum."
A "somber," "confused" and broken-hearted Spelling, 40, is said to be "weighing her options" while McDermott, 47, seeks treatment to, as he put it, "become the husband and father my family deserves."
"She just doesn't know what she's going to do," adds a spy. "She could stay with him. She could take it slow. Her biggest fear was he would cheat on her. She will never trust him again."
According to the mag, Spelling is "keeping it together" for the sake of their four kids: Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, and Finn, 17 months.
"She's a very hands-on mom," chimes in another source. "[And] she's the financial force behind their family. She's the one who is ultimately responsible for supporting their family. The pressure on her has always been enormous."
That pressure apparently included ensuring that Dean, who is accused of hooking up with a 28-year-old Canadian woman improbably named Emily Goodhand, remained, ahem, "satisfied."
"She's always made their sex life one of her top priorities," reveals a confidant. "It's always been important to her to keep her husband happy, even when it's hard for her because she's been sick or pregnant. So the fact that, after all that, he cheated on her so publicly is devastating."
Adds another friend, "This will haunt her for the rest of their future, whether they stay together or not."
McDermott, whose romance with Spelling began when both were married to other people, apparently hopes they can get past it.
"He'll do everything in his power to win her back," explains the snitch. "Tori and the kids are his life."

The Hefty Price of Childbirth
Want to have a baby? Be prepared to cough up the dough. It's getting more and more expensive to give birth in the United States, making it the costliest in the world, according to The New York Times. Delivery costs have tripled since 1996, and maternity and newborn care are the single-biggest category of hospital payouts for insurers. The cumulative cost (for around 4 million annual births) is more than $50 billion. Twenty years ago, women were paying nothing other than a small fee for a private room or television. Today, more than 60 percent of women with private plans (not obtained through an employer) do not have maternity coverage. According to the report, even women with insurance are pressured into higher co-payments and deductibles, although they're not getting more care.

Practice, yes. Bergeron, no.
|11.30.09 at 1:17 pm ET
WILMINGTON — It was probably just a coincidence that the Bruins decided to reward their assistant coaches with contract extensions just before they will be counted on to pace the team through a stretch loaded with heightened practice time.
After inking assistant coaches Doug Houda, Craig Ramsay and Geoff Ward, goaltending coach Bob Essensa and video coach Brant Berglund to multi-year contract extensions the Bruins got back to work at their practice rink Monday.
They will probably be spending a lot of time there.
Having played 10 games over a 19-day period, the Bruins will have just four games over a 12- day stretch. That means time to work out the kinks at practice and the chance for key players to mend minor injuries.
Leading scorer Patrice Bergeron was not on the ice for practice Monday after being struck by a shot in the leg while killing a penalty seven minutes into Saturday's 4-3 Bruins victory over Ottawa. Bergeron left the ice and the Bruins bench for several minutes before returning late in the period.
Coach Claude Julien said Bergeron had been given Monday off, but the skilled center should be fine for game action when the Bruins host Tamp Bay Wednesday.
'He'll been in Wednesday, no ifs, (ands) or buts,' said Julien. 'It was just maintenance.'
Defenseman Matt Hunwick was also given a maintenance day off Monday.
While more practice time may not be the players favorite situation, they recognize the chance to regroup is important at this juncture of the season.
'Guys just like to play really, but when you get the opportunity to practice you have to take advantage of it,' said 16-year veteran Mark Recchi. 'This gives us time to get in the gym, get in some extra work there. During the course of the year it pays off.'
The break in the hectic pace of the last three weeks will also give returning all-star center Marc Savard additional time to practice with the team's power play.
'I didn't get a chance practice a lot before I came back,' said Savard, who returned to action last week after being sidelined for five weeks with a broken foot. 'Hopefully it will help my own game out. I'm starting to feel better and hopefully can contribute more.'
Savard also provided on an update on a pending contract extension that could be announced shortly.
'We're getting really close, so hopefully we're going to get it done because this is where I want to be,' said Savard, the Bruins leading scorer for the past three seasons.
The Bruins assistant coaches are waiting no more after receiving their contract extensions Sunday.
'It's been in the works for awhile, when my extension was given to me I was asked about my coaching staff and I really wanted them to be with me,' said Julien. 'Assistant coaches are never given enough credit'¦they do a lot of behind the scene work, one on one work, extra work on the ice, that kind of stuff. Our group is a good group. '

"Scandinavian Design"
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has pulled out all the stops for its "Scandinavian Design" exhibit. Culled from the museum's collection of decorative arts, the exhibit highlights the contributions of architects, designers and manufacturers from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The glass, ceramics and furniture on display also reflect the region's influence on North American and European design. What characterizes the work of such designers as Alvar Aalto, Finn Juhl, Bruno Mathsson, Orrefors and Tapio Wirkkala? Straightforward, simple lines, certainly, but also an emphasis on quality that can be extended through mass production. Take Mathsson's chaise lounge, for example. Viewed from the side, the beech jute, cotton, leather and metal lounge chair looks like it perfectly fits the simple bends and arcs of the reclining human body. The 1942 piece is still standing, a testament to the manufacturer's insistence on durability. The Scandinavian aesthetic isn't just about functionality. Ida Forss's Sugarfree necklace resembles a lace made of white Chiclets, while Kaj Franck's Kremlin Bells decanter looks more like a glass sculpture than something to hold wine. Both reveal the fanciful possibilities of clean design. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 12:15 to 7 p.m. Sundays. Through January 27. 1001 Bissonnet. For information, call 713-639-7300 or visit www.mfah.org. Free to $10.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Running Around With Your Hair on Fire
Braumeister and I try to shoot our bows once a week throughout the year. Usually Dart Video over at West Town Archery.
It keeps us and our equipment tuned and on-target and allows for making the drawing of a bow, acquiring a target and taking an appropriate shot with confidence. Most importantly - without hesitation.
Shooting becomes habitual and instinctual.
ComplianceMan Smokey Joe joins us.
We used to have a fourth and shoot in a league but job changes, growing families and scheduling challenges have resulted in a more ad-hoc approach to our archery. In any event, it's a once-a-week night out with the guys and we always end-up over at Mama's on Burleigh for pizza or spaghetti.
Where are you going with this Tom? Who really cares about your night out with the boys?
I bring this up for a couple of reasons.
First-off – it's a good idea to recreate with others on a regular basis. It probably doesn't matter a lick whether it is archery, martial arts or yoga for that matter.
What matters is that you allow yourself the opportunity to get out and engage in something different than your day job or daily routine.
All the better if you have to focus on something that requires some concentration, patience and discipline.
This teaches you the necessary skills to not run around with your hair on fire when something or someone throws a boomerang into your daily routine or life.
There's probably some science somewhere to support this notion – but for me it just seems to be common sense.
There is something to be said for staying cool when everything else is coming apart at the seams.
You know - Tom - you've certainly gotten bent out of shape over who gets to appoint the DNR Secretary. Looks to us like you're not being very cool, calm and collected.
Listen. I was just being provocatively pointed in my opinion. There's a difference you know.
Which leads to my segue into the second reason I bring this up.
I am eminently qualified to speak to the subject of running around with your hair on fire.
This is the bible truth.
My best guess is that I was probably around eight years of age and my pals from the old neighborhood – Joey, Timmy, Robin and Mickey were doing what kids did back then.
We were taking Revell model battleships and aircraft carriers and hosting mock naval battles in the tributary creek over in the next block that fed the Little Menomonee River.
The whole mess all began with our quest for realism.
We used gasoline and used motor oil to make our sinking of the Bismarck or reenactment of the Battle of Midway as realistic as the imagination of a young boy could.
We would set those ships afire.
Even today - I would be willing to bet that if I showed you the spot - you would find the melted and charred hulks of model warships buried under river silt and sludge.
Anyway - on one particular day our attention was drawn to the burn barrel in Mickey and Robin's back yard.
It had all manner of combustible debris in it which we promptly set fire-to.
Once the fire went out we located some more stuff - added it to the barrel - and burned that too.
Before too long we ran short of stuff to burn.
Someone suggested we add some of the used motor oil to the barrel.
Gloop, gloop, gloop, gloop gloop.
A match was tossed into the barrel and…
We look into the barrel.
Another match.
By now we all are tossing lit matches into the barrel without the expected results.
That used motor oil simply would not ignite.
Drawing upon our vast knowledge of naval warfare someone suggested we add some gasoline to the oil.
In it went. A generous amount too.
With all five of us peering over the edge Timmy lights a match and drops it to the bottom of the barrel.
There was the spectacular flash of a fireball followed by belching black clouds of oily smoke. Ooooh - this was better than the battle of the Coral Sea.
After the excitement and the smoke subsided there lingered in the atmosphere the acrid smell of burnt hair. We look at one another and realize we have also done a pretty good job of singeing-off a good portion of our crew cuts. Along with our eyebrows.
We're all thinking – Oh boy. There is going to be trouble over this.
Speaking for myself I had a brilliant plan.
I scrubbed my face clean of soot and promptly cinched my Milwaukee Braves baseball cap firmly over my head. Nobody would know what happened to my hair.
Until supper.
Young man. Remover your cap at the dinner table.
I don't wanna.
Take you hat off.
I don't wanna.
And with a collective gasp the truth was revealed.
Right then the phone rang and I was spared whatever fate awaited me. Saved by the bell so to speak. It was Auntie Pat from next door inquiring if Tommy had burned-off his hair just like Joey.
I have no recollection of any particular punishment for our actions that day. And my buddies and I all survived the balance of the summer with only a near-drowning incident.
To our parent's collective relief there was no more running around with our hair on fire.

text: Audi UK A4 Sport Share Comments New body styling additions transform the look of A4 Sport saloon and Avant models • New quattro GmbH styling enhancements now incorporated within existing Sport package optional for all A4 saloon and Avant models • Updated Sport package available from this month for saloon models and from August 1st for the Avant at an extra cost of £1,400 • Revised version of 1.8 T four-cylinder petrol engine with 190PS replaces 163PS version from this month • Tax-beating EU4 compliance for 163PS and 180PS versions of 2.5 TDI engine Sport versions of the acclaimed Audi A4 now cut more of a dash, thanks to a new styling package developed by quattro GmbH, the Audi division responsible for the potent RS 4 and RS 6 models. The upgraded styling treatment becomes an integral part of the existing Sport package, which can be ordered from this month for saloon models, and from August 1st for the Avants, at an extra cost of £1,400. The new look comes courtesy of body coloured front and rear bumpers, an extended front valance with enlarged air intakes and integrated fog lights, side sill extensions, a restyled rear bumper and a subtle rear spoiler. In addition to this new equipment, the Sport package features 17-inch 'Five Spoke Star' alloy wheels, sports suspension, sports front seats with electric lumbar adjustment, a sports leather steering wheel and leather trimming for the gear knob and gaiter. It also adds rear electric windows and aluminium window trim strips for six-cylinder models. The revised A4 Sport models can realise the potential suggested by their new look, thanks to a wide choice of powerful and sophisticated four and six-cylinder petrol and TDI engines. Highlights of the petrol range include a responsive 3.0-litre alloy block V6 with 220PS, an advanced direct injection 2.0-litre FSI four-cylinder delivering 150PS with outstanding economy and emission control, and a recently updated, 190PS version of the popular turbo charged four-cylinder 1.8 T engine. Available combined with either front wheel-drive or quattro permanent four-wheel-drive, and linked to a six-speed manual gearbox, the new addition enables the A4 1.8 T Sport to accelerate to 62mph in 8.2 seconds and to reach a maximum speed, where permitted, of 147mph. It does so without ruling out impressive fuel economy of up to 32.8mpg (combined cycle), and uniquely in the sector the automatic version, powered by the peerless Audi multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), actually increases this figure to 34.0mpg, while maintaining performance at virtually the same level. An even finer balance between punchy performance and real world running costs can be found in the A4 2.0 FSI Sport. Its direct injection, 150PS petrol engine is good for a 0-62mph time of 9.6 seconds and a top speed of 136mph where conditions allow, and at the same time it can cover up to an impressive 39.6mpg (combined cycle). Compared with key prestige rivals, it is the cheapest to run, thanks to a significant advantage in fuel economy, a competitive OTR price of £21,480 and a low CO2 output of just 170g/km which minimises benefit-in-kind taxation. Positioned in the 18 per cent bracket, the A4 FSI carries up to £1,076 less liability than its key rivals for the 2003/4 tax year. EU4 for TDI As an added benefit, the highly rated Audi 2.5-litre V6 TDI units with 163PS and 180PS, which power the revised A4 2.5 TDI Sport and 2.5 TDI quattro Sport models, have now been re-engineered for full compliance with the EU4 emissions regulations due to come into force in 2005. The A4 range is the first premium compact executive line-up to offer EU4 diesel models which reduce running costs for business users by eliminating the 3 per cent taxation premium currently levied on diesel. This equates to a reduction in taxation charges of up to £786 in tax year 2003/4. On the road prices for the A4 saloon range from £18,145 for the A4 1.6 to £25,655 for the A4 3.0 quattro. Avant models start with the 1.6 at £19,295, and finish with the 3.0 quattro at £26,805. For more discussion on this story, click on the link to our discussion forums at the left.

Here Ye! Here Ye!!
In medicine we're generally careful not to judge our colleagues harshly on paper. We may report what the patient or another doctor tells us, but we usually hold off on condemning people in a chart-- it makes for messy liability issues, and it's really just poor form to write "Can you believe that idiot prescribed this combo of meds" or "the last doctor never even listened to the patient's complaints."
In real life, I don't believe we're quite so generous. It's not at all unusual for docs to condemn-- in an off-the-cuff manner in casual conversation with friends-- their disdain for the practices of others. Can you believe his former doc prescribed 10 mg/hour of Xanax? Or what about the doc who demands every patient come for weekly therapy sessions even if they don't think they need therapy? Or the doc who only sees patients for 10 minute med checks and never really listens to the patients? How 'bout that doc who gave his suicidal patient a 90 supply of Hemlock? Or how could he start a patient with bipolar disorder on an antidepressant-- of course it de-stabilized him!
I think we're quick with our Can You Believe stories. More in psychiatry than in other branches of medicine? Maybe. Why? Perhaps because less of what we do is clearly defined and even amongst ourselves, we have no full consensus on exactly what it is we do, and in what units. We're certainly getting closer with our use of medications, but still, the guidelines don't take into account what to do if a patient fails many trials of many medications and still has a myriad of symptoms. Sometimes our patients are very sick and we get very desperate. And then too, our label says little about what exactly we do-- one shrink only does med checks, another only does therapy, and we amongst ourselves have not come to a consensus about what is the absolute 'right' thing to do, for whom, in what settings, with what staffing and reimbursement issues, how frequently, and when.
What do you think: are we gentle with each other or not?

Steamboat Springs A petition is circulating to place a question on November's ballot asking city voters to close Steamboat Springs Airport.
Local attorney Mark Freirich read the petition during Tuesday's Steamboat Springs City Council meeting. Freirich represents the community group that started the petition. The group has enlisted the aid of ProgressNow Action, a Denver-based nonprofit organization that lobbies for community issues across the state.
"There are people in Steamboat Springs who question the necessity of an airport in town, especially with other community projects that could be funded," ProgressNow technology manager Alan Franklin said.
Local members of the community group could not be reached for comment. No circulator was listed on a copy of the petition obtained by the Steamboat Pilot & Today.
The petition asks signers to support seven provisions, which direct city officials to "deactivate, discontinue use and abandon all aircraft operations" at the airport; to complete the deactivation no later than Sept. 30, 2007; to act with Routt County Commissioners to relocate "any necessary aircraft operations" to Yampa Valley Regional Airport in Hayden; to convert the Steamboat airport property to a use "which would maximize the financial benefits" to the city; and declare the closure necessary for the "immediate preservation of public peace, health and safety."
City Clerk Julie Jordan said she was not aware of the petition until Tuesday's council meeting.
"I had not heard that the petition is coming forward," Jordan said Friday. "If it is indeed a valid initiative petition, the group would need to establish a petitioner's committee, which would file with my office. That has not happened yet."
Such a committee would need to act fast to get an initiative on the Nov. 7 ballot, Jordan said. According to the city's charter, an initiative petition requires signatures in an amount equal to at least 15 percent of the total registered voters in the previous election.
Jordan said 7,666 voters were registered in the previous election, meaning that supporters of the airport petition need to submit 1,150 signatures from registered Steamboat voters.
Jordan needs those signatures by early next week, she said.
"Time is running short -- it's a squeeze," Jordan said. "In order to make this year's ballot, City Council has to do two readings of the ordinance. The first reading would have to be Aug. 8, and the second reading would have to be Aug. 22."
Before those readings, Jordan would need to verify the validity of the signatures and deem the petition sufficient, a process for which the city charter allows 10 days after a petition is filed.
Eyes on the sky
Steamboat Springs Airport manager Mel Baker said the airport is home to 90 "based" aircraft, about half of which are stored in on-site hangars within city limits on Routt County Road 129. Thirty-three owners of second homes in Routt County also regularly use the airport, Baker said, as do 46 business owners and investors. That makes a total of 169 regular users of the airport, which Baker said conducts between 10,500 and 11,000 operations -- takeoffs and landings -- a year.
Critics of the airport have said the facility only services a small portion of the community at the expense of other possible uses.
"I disagree with that vehemently. This airport does not just support a couple of entities," pilot Don Heineman said Friday. Heineman is an instructor for the Steamboat Flying Club and founder of a local chapter of the Civil Air Patrol Squadron, a statewide search-and-rescue patrol for downed aircraft. He said the airport is a vital engine for the local economy.
"The people who fly into this airport eat at expensive restaurants and stay at the (Steamboat) Grand. They spend a lot of money in this town," Heineman said. "If you close this airport you are going to damage the economy of Steamboat, almost irreparably. A lot of people would close their businesses and leave the area."
Baker said a 2003 study by the Colorado Department of Transportation stated the airport generates more than $7.5 million for the local economy each year -- and the airport has grown since then, he said.
"That economic impact is greater now than it was in 2003," Baker said. "That's something the community should consider."
Rumors in the air
Questions about the best use for the airport property are nothing new in Steamboat.
"There's always been rumors floating around the airport that people want it closed," City Council President Pro-tem Susan Dellinger said. "It's kind of an interesting timing (for the petition)."
There also are rumors that the airport could be sold to developers who would significantly expand the airport.
Last month, developers representing Steamboat Springs Fly-in LLC told members of the Yampa Valley Airport Commission that they plan to address the Steamboat Springs City Council about buying the airport.
Developers Randall Reed and Richard Friedman outlined their plans for the airport. Those plans could include a $200 million development with 80 new homes and a 10-story condo/hotel building with a penthouse restaurant overlooking downtown. A new airport terminal also would be built, they said.
Dellinger said such a sale is speculation only.
"The purchase has never been formalized," she said Friday. "They're a ways out before they can even make an offer."
The council recently appointed a committee of local citizens to oversee an update of the airport's master plan and conduct a study of alternative uses for the airport, Dellinger said. That committee will meet for the first time Thursday in a forum open to the public.
"We encourage people who have something they want to talk about to come to those meetings and express their concerns," Dellinger said.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | AP Action Photos
Marquette at No. 5 Pitt, Petersen Events Center, January 8, 2011
No. 5 Pitt 89, Marquette 81
Opening Statement:
"Marquette is a very good team; I think that goes without saying. They're going to win a lot of games. Two very good offensive teams played today, as you know, looking at the stats beforehand. Obviously they lengthened the game with fouls and the number of free throws shot at the end, but we did a lot of good things. We went 60 percent from the field, only had 10 turnovers , which is below the 12 we want to stay under, and obviously we were right around the number we wanted to be at in a category where we're one of the best in the country and that is assist-to-turnover ratio. Having an assist-to-turnover ratio at 24-to-10 speaks volumes. We shot 55 percent from three point range and 70 percent from the free throw line so offensively you can't be more efficient than that. Marquette's good, they kept battling even though we had a good lead. They never really got too close but they played hard and they are a very good team. They're hard to guard because of their versatility and their quickness. They're a very good team and very well coached."
On the higher offensive output this season than years past:
"I always say 'we can always be, we can always be' and that's what we strive for, we can always get better. We shoot the ball better than maybe any other team that we've had and I think that's something that's improved our scoring. We've always been a good assist-to-turnover and offensive rebounding team and so all those things together makes for a good offense. We are scoring high now too, but being a team from Pittsburgh you'll always be a defensive, hard-nosed team like the Steelers always have been and we're never going to get away from it. That's a good thing to be though. Our offense has been good year-to-year and this team is very good offensively but we're just trying to improve every day.
I thought our passing was tremendous in the first half and we ran really good sets, we executed those. In the second half I don't think we executed as well but our numbers were good, we shot 65 percent. They ran a little triangle-and-two and maybe I didn't call as good of sets as I could have but we shot 65 percent."
On the play of Lamar Patterson:
"It just seemed like last week everything started clicking for him and he played well in practice. I think everyone was wondering what the feeling was going with Lamar during the last game against Providence, and he's just practicing better. There's no other way to put it. He looks more comfortable out there. He's a young kid, he's developing physically and he's feeling more comfortable. With him and Jonathan Moore we have two very good guys and we'll see how they both go and right now they're both playing well. They have both played well in practice the last few days actually. Lamar played well today, he played steady and those five rebounds were big for us. This was a little different game because of the way they play. Gary McGhee and our other fives had to guard on the perimeter so they're not going to get as many rebound with how Marquette plays."
On Gary McGhee's improved scoring efficiency:
"One thing you can't question is Gary McGhee's work ethic. He cares so much and puts so much time into it. Just last week we've seen him do a better job finishing. He works relentlessly on his free throws. His defense has been very good. Dante Taylor's a little banged up right now, his knee has been bothering him and he's been sick, but between the two of them we've been getting great production. Gary's just been working so hard. Every day he's out there working with different coaches. He's just continuing to work on finishing and finishing higher. It's great to see his hard work pay off."
On his rotation of 11 players:
"I've been fortunate this year hasn't been that tough because it's tougher to put in bad players, and I've always had good players to put in. That's always important and it's easier that way. Seeing how guys develop, how we were talking about Lamar earlier, I often bring up early in the year when everybody wants to be in that starting rotation in November and I'm quick to counter with letting them know nothing is defined to show them that player development is important to us. Maybe others don't put that much emphasis on player development but we do, and guys can improve at different rates so our rotation is not set. We're going to have different guys always playing; J.J. Richardson gave us solid minutes today. We're going to play 11 guys and maybe not every game but they're all a big factor on our team.
This week in practice we worked a lot on breaking the press and guys like Nick Rivers and Aron Nwankwo gave us a great week of practice. One of our objectives in this game was to cut down our turnovers and we did. When you're number one in the country in assist-to-turnover ratio and you have a game like this then we know we're getting it to where we want to be."
On Gary McGhee's confident play:
"I think it's a combination of things. I think it goes back to his teammates because they see him playing hard and they give him confidence and I think when you're teammates are working that hard then it's easy to be confident with them. I think he's just gotten better each year; it's been part of his development. Where he was in November, I had hoped he'd be a better player by January and I think he is. It's good to see. He's really working hard and he always has."
On difference between this year's team and previous Pitt teams' under Coach Dixon:
"I think you can't really compare our team to last year and especially compare for the whole season. I know that last year we were one of the only teams whose scoring average went up in conference play which never happens. Obviously, we were under manned last year and had to deal with injuries among other things. It's hard to compare the whole season. I think sometimes your opponent has something to do with a higher scoring output. Marquette is a high scoring team too. They lengthen the game with fouls and that's part of it, rather than grinding out every bucket. I think we're good offensively. Are we better than last year's team offensively? I think we can be."
On great winning efficiency in important Big East games:
"You don't want to take it for granted but we do expect to win and our fans expect us to win. I guess it's better than the alternative. It's not easy but we expect to win. We still have to go out there and play hard and play well and we did. But we've got to get right back to work on Monday and Tuesday because the problem with this league is you never get a day off. We just got a good win and now we go to Georgetown Wednesday and play the number one team in RPI. It says a lot about our team because this conference has been pretty good the last couple years, by far the best in the country."
Quoting Pitt's Brad Wanamaker
On Offense:
"We got an early lead, passed the ball well and had 24 assists. We shared the ball well and everyone contributed today. In practice we make shots and that gives us the confidence we need for games. We had a tough game in Providence, but this win is a great way for us to bounce back and Lamar Patterson has been playing great for us."
On Pitt's adjustments after Providence:
"In the Providence game they constantly rushed us and we knew after watching the film a change needed to be made. Once we had patience, started making the passes and used the shot clock our guys came through. When we get an early lead, like today, everyone starts making shots then we know it is going to be a good game."
On points per game:
"The balance of our team is definitely improving. We have multiple guys who come in and lead us in scoring in each and every game. This means that we aren't being a selfish team and everyone contributes by passing the ball around. It seems like we take turns making the shots we need to win the game."
Quoting Pitt's Ashton Gibbs:
On Defense:
"We wanted to make it tough for Marquette early on and not let them get the ball from us. We wanted to have an early post position, which is what Coach Dixon was stressing on us. As a team, we did a good job at it, but at times I make mistakes. Overall, I think as a team we came together and did a great job. Coach Dixon stressed at practice that we need to be patient and that is something we carried over into this game, and need to continue for the upcoming games."
Quoting Gary McGhee
On Pitt's game:
"The important thing for us was to not allow them to make any lay ups. We started making our major stops. Our guards did a good job with penetrating and getting in the middle when Marquette was playing their defense. We went through the middle, but when Marquette started to step it up that is when they scored the easy lay ups against our players."
On previous games:
"The last couple games have given me the confidence to keep working hard, and when I am able to get the ball down low then I can go up strong with it and finish. Over the past few games this has been my main goal and it has really helped me out."
Quoting Marquette Head Coach Buzz Williams
On Pitt's record at the Petersen Events Center:
"All the respect should go to the players and coaches that have been a part of that record. It's a great place for Pitt to play, with the students down near the court in the lower bowl; it's a great setup. We lost my first year here by 15 and this year by eight so the spread is not very good when we come here."
On Pitt's 3-point shooting:
"We never ran them off their routes. They play kind of like the Steelers: they run a play after every dead ball and made basket. They get the ball to Gibbs or Woodall and they run plays. Coming into today they were averaging six 3-pointers a game and today they made 10, we never ran them off their lines. It's hard to beat a team who scores 30 percent of their points from long-range. They run more plays than any team in the country."
On Pitt guard Ashton Gibbs:
"He made four 3-pointers in the first half and we tried switching defenders on him between Vander Blue, Junior Cadougan and Dwight Buycks. Three of his four were on the same exact play. I got mad at Cadougan because Gibbs hit his third three-pointer in a six minute sequence, so he didn't play as much as maybe he deserved to."
On Pitt's lineup:
"They start three seniors and two juniors and all of them have great poise. Then they bring players off the bench who change their rotation, but don't change their great production. So as a team they're really good, they know what it's all about and they're extremely well coached."
On Marquette forward Jae Crowder:
"We shouldn't be so dependent on a guy who's only in his third Big East game, but we are. It hurt that he picked up his second foul in the first half with eight minutes left to go, and that limited his minutes in the game. Playing eight minutes in a half without him definitely changes our team. He played 16 minutes in the second half and we outscored Pitt, and that's with fouling at the end. That shows statistically his value to us."
On the rebounding in the game:
"We did a great job offensively on rebounding. Pitt does such a great job on the glass, I would have never thought before the game that we would have more offensive rebounds than them. They out-rebounded us in total only because they made six out of every 10 shots they took."
On Marquette guard Dwight Buycks:
"He's played so well for us, I wouldn't trade him for anybody in the country. I love what his story is about. When comparing him from who he was when I met him and who he is today, I couldn't be more proud of him."

Your Rights as a Cancer Patient in the Workplace
Over 10 million Americans are living with a history of cancer, and more than 40 percent of those diagnosed each year are working-age adults. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits employers, specifically governmental entities and private employers with 15 or more employees, from discriminating against employees or qualified job applicants based on disability, including cancer. Additionally, most states have their own laws prohibiting disability discrimination with some of these laws providing even more protection than federal law. For instance, in California, the law relating to disability discrimination, including discrimination based on cancer, applies to employers with only 5 or more employees.
When is Cancer a Disability under the ADA?
Cancer becomes a disability under federal law when the disease or its side effects has or had a serious impact on one or more "major life activities" such as working, sleeping, eating, shopping, household chores, child care, cooking, and interacting with others.
Cancer is also considered a disability when it doesn't limit a person's activities, yet the employer treats the individual as if it does. For example, a computer programmer completes cancer surgery and returns to work. She is able to perform her job, but the employer fires her anyway, assuming that she won't be able to do her job as well because of the side effects of the cancer treatment or even because her cancer might recur requiring her to take more time off. In firing her, the employer may have violated the law prohibiting discrimination based on a perceived disability.
If you have cancer and the disease is not considered a disability under federal law because it doesn't "substantially interfere with major life activities," you can still request time off for doctor appointments or other cancer care based on the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA , however, only applies to employers with 50 or more employees and time off is unpaid. Click here for an article on the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Getting a Job After a Cancer Diagnosis
Based on the ADA, a potential employer cannot ask about a medical condition or require you to take a medical examination at the application or interview stage of the hiring process. There's also no reason to volunteer that information unless you need to due to cancer or cancer treatment. For instance, you might need to ask for some extra time to complete a pre-employment test due to radiation-induced fatigue. This would be a request for an "accommodation" of your disability.
Keeping your Job When You've Had a Cancer Diagnosis
After you've been offered the job, an employer is allowed to ask if you have a disability for which you'll need an accommodation to perform the basic duties or "essential functions" of it. Your employer must keep confidential any medical information you provide-even, for instance, if co-workers ask your supervisor why you're taking extra breaks or voice concern that you've lost a lot of weight.
Moreover, if your employer happens to already know you have a disability and need an accommodation, the ADA requires the company to provide it, even if you have not yet made an express request. If you do make a request for an accommodation, it's a good idea to do it in writing. In California, employers and employees must work together to develop an accommodation for your cancer and cancer treatment.
Here are a few accommodations available to cancer patients in full- and part-time employment:
- leave for doctors' appointments and/or to seek or recuperate from treatment;
- periodic breaks or provision of a private area to rest or to take medication;
- adjustments to a work schedule;
- permission to work at home;
- modification of office temperature;
- permission to use work telephone to call doctors;
- reallocation or redistribution of marginal tasks to another employee; and
- reassignment to another job.
Undue Hardship
An employer is NOT required to provide accommodation of a disability, including cancer, if doing so would cause "undue hardship" to the company. Whether a disability will cause "undue hardship" is determined by a variety of factors including the employer's size, financial resources, and the nature of the business.
What to Do if Your Employer Refuses to Follow the Law
It is to be hoped that your employer will follow the law prohibiting discrimination based on your cancer. If not, you may want to file a complaint with the federal agency that enforces the ADA, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and/or consult with an employment law attorney. Check the federal government section of the phone book for the nearest EEOC office. Contact an employment attorneyto discuss your situation.
If your employer starts mistreating you or retaliates against you after you've contacted an attorney or the EEOC, make sure you keep written track of your employer's conduct, including the relevant date(s) and the names of other people who may have seen what happened. For more information on Cancer in the Workplace and the ADA read this EEOC document.
Good luck and stay well!

We really like this hotel and have stayed here several times for weekends away. The star rating was increased from 4 to 5 since the last time we were there and don't think it is warranted.

Meat And Cancer
Does Meat Really Cause Cancer?
How is meat linked to cancer?The whole idea about the relationship between meat and cancer came from several large European population studies back in the early 1990s, which showed that vegetarians were almost half as likely to develop cancer as meat eaters when controlling for other diet and lifestyle factors. Since then, studies have continued to investigate the link between meat and cancer. While some of the evidence seems compelling, what exactly is it about meat that might be dangerous? Although it's not entirely clear, there are a number of hypotheses:
- Meat lacks fiber, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and other helpful nutrients that have shown to be protective against cancers.
- Many meats are high in fat and other animal products that increase hormone production, thus increasing the risk of hormone-related cancers, such as breast or prostate cancer.
- High-protein diets have been linked to cancer. Meats are high in protein, and protein is broken down to ammonia, which may be carcinogenic in humans.
- Cooking meats at high temperatures forms carcinogenic compounds such as heterocyclic amines (HCA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). These compounds have proven carcinogenic in mice, rats and nonhuman primates in lab studies.
- Salt-preserved, smoked and other preserved meats contain N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) that are potentially carcinogenic to humans.
Which meats are of concern?While many studies have identified general meat intake as a risk factor for cancer, specifically the red meats like beef, lamb, pork, veal, and processed meats (meats preserved by salting, drying, smoking or curing), appear to put consumers at highest risk and have been the subject of most meat and cancer studies.
However, it's not only the type of meat that is a cause for concern, but also the way in which it's prepared. The cooking method, temperature and time all influence how carcinogenic certain meats are. Meats cooked at very high temperatures by frying, broiling and barbecuing produce the largest amount of HCAs, whereas oven-roasting and baking are done at lower temperatures and thus form less HCAs. Stewing, boiling or poaching are done at such a low temperature that dangerous chemicals do not form.
Lastly, cooking for longer periods of time (for example, making a steak that's well-done) will cause more carcinogenic compounds to be formed than cooking for shorter periods of time, for example, making a steak that's "bloody." Just remember that undercooking meats can be dangerous, leading to food poisoning or other infection.

Claw Ceratium
Ceratium platycorne, a dinoflagellate. This one came from about 10 m depth in Semptember, sampled during the PECHE cruise in the N.W. Med Sea in 2004.The "platycorne" or flat horns appear to be variable in the species. this specimen seemed to me to have a claw.

Iron Man 3 - The Official Game
by: Gameloft • 1.4M
All Android applications categories
by: Gameloft • 1.4M
Published: 2013-04-25, by Peter Warrior.
When we heard about an Iron Man 3 game, made by Gameloft itself and that ain't hay, the last thing we would expect was a temple-run-ish game. However, it's far from that, and once you start playing you can figure out why Gameloft has chosen this way instead of a Batman Dark Knight open world approach. In fact, Iron Man 3 is more than a Temple Run with five "lanes" and land and air different scenarios, because as Tony can shoot that laser beam (I'm deliberately not using the official Marvel jargon) at incoming enemies, you fly like if you were being chased by carnivore gorillas, but you attack as if you were playing Fruit Ninja. This creates strange tilt and swipe gestures combination and you'll find yourself holding your device on the left hand and swiping with the right one. Nobody told so much psicomotricity was involved: it must be hard to be Iron Man.
Between defeats or stages, what comes first, you'll pay a visit to the Stark (any kinship with those Winterfell guys?) shop and buy upgrades. These vital upgrades need red coins or blue crystals (aka premium currency) to be bought, and time. If you don't want to wait for your upgrade purchased by the sweat of your metal brow, you can spend blue crystals to hasten the process.
Anyway, we can run this formula down for as long as we want, but plain truth is that it's a very interesting and thrilling game, can be played for free (if your device can bear a 800 Mb download) and will delight children and parents alike.

News: Centegra Files for Open Heart Certificate of Need
Centegra Health System moved one step closer to realizing its plan to bring an open heart surgery program to McHenry County this week with the filing of a Certificate of Need application to the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board. Copies of the application were sent to the planning board in Springfield where they will be reviewed by state agency staff before being sent to the planning board for final approval.
Centegra Health System has been building a quality heart care program for nearly twenty years. Over that time Centegra has introduced cardiac rehabilitation programs, cardiac catheterization procedures, and coronary angioplasty. Adding open heart surgery is the next step in providing quality heart care here in McHenry County. Currently all McHenry County residents must leave the county in order to have open heart surgery performed and with the Centegra program in place that will no longer be necessary.
"With guidance and support from physicians and staff, for a number of years Centegra has strategically worked to implement a cardiovascular services program of high clinical quality with the ultimate goal of expanding the program to offer the community the full continuum of cardiac care. That continuum includes the addition of a comprehensive open-heart surgery program," Michael S. Eesley, Centegra President and CEO said. "Through 20 years of hard work, Centegra has revolutionized the heart care our patients receive and the addition of open heart surgery plays a key role in our vision for a healthier community."
Community support for the project has been very strong. Over 300 letters of support were received for the project from groups and individuals through the county and included with the Certificate of Need application. Letters of support can still be sent directly to Jeffrey Mark at the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board in Springfield. When approved, the open heart surgery program will be housed at Centegra Northern Illinois Medical Center in McHenry.
According to Aaron Shepley, Senior Vice President and Site Administrator for Centegra Northern Illinois Medical Center, "Centegra is very excited about the addition of this much-needed program. We have worked carefully to implement a cardiovascular program following the guidelines established by the American College of Cardiology and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. And we have also followed state guidelines set by the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board to meet volume thresholds as we've developed our comprehensive approach to cardiac services."
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for McHenry County residents according to statistics compiled by the McHenry County Department of Health. Bringing the benefits of open heart surgery to the community is consistent with the goals of Centegra Health System. "Putting the patient and community first is at the forefront of everything we do. The addition of an open heart program means our patients will have better access to cardiac care and most importantly, more lives will be saved by having a comprehensive heart program right here in our community," noted Suzan Buchaklian, Executive Director of Cardiovascular Services at Centegra.
Centegra Health System traces its roots to the founding of the first hospital in Woodstock in 1914 and has been serving the needs of the greater McHenry County region for over 90 years. Centegra has hospitals in Woodstock and McHenry, Illinois and physician offices, clinics, and other programs at 30 locations throughout the region.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – Head coach Tim Smith and the Marist athletics department have released the men's tennis team's fall schedule to start the 2013-14 season. The Red Foxes will play in four tournaments this semester and play two dual matches.
Marist will open its slate at the Brown Fall Classic the weekend of Sept. 13-15. Last fall, the Red Foxes enjoyed great success at this tournament to start off their season as four individuals won their respective flight titles and the doubles' pairing of Trym Nagelstad (Oslo, Norway) and Will Reznek (Toronto, Canada) won a doubles' championship. Additioanlly, Reznek and Dalen Klassen (St. Louis, Mo.) each won the finals match in their respective back-draws.
Conference play starts on Tuesday, Sept. 17 when Marist travels to Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) opponent Siena for a 3 p.m. match. Last season, the Red Foxes cruised to a 5-2 victory over the Saints.
The weekend of Sept. 20-22 sees the Red Foxes at the USTA Invitational/Ivy Plus Tournament. Joseph Dube (Livonia, Mich.) and Klassen each won flight championships in last season's tournament.
Marist will return to New York City in October for the Columbia Invite Oct. 4-6. Last year, both Dube and Klassen reached the semifinals of individual flight action.
The Red Foxes will play their first home match of the season when Connecticut visits Poughkeepsie for a dual match on Tuesday, Oct. 15. The 3 p.m. match will be a rematch of Marist 4-2 victory last season on the Huskies' home courts.
The 2013 fall schedule wraps up the week of Oct. 16-19 when the Red Foxes compete in the ITA Regionals. In 2012, they had their deepest showing at the ITA Tournament with four individuals competing in the singles Round of 64 as well as a doubles' pairing in the Round of 32.
"I really like our tournament schedule because it will give me a very good idea who will be our top eight players," Smith said. With triple back draws at Brown, USTA, and Columbia, most of our players will see nine singles matches. With seven of our top eight players back, I'm expecting this to be a very successful year for our program."
Last season, Marist finished with a 17-4 record overall, and won its 10th MAAC Championship in program history by defeating Fairfield by a 4-2 score and advancing to the NCAA Tournament where the Red Foxes faced off with 12th-seeded Texas A&M. They return nearly all of their top players from a season ago, including senior Klassen, the MAAC Player of the Year, and sophomore Fredrik Bjerke(Oslo, Norway), last year's MAAC Rookie of the Year.

A wall modeled on the Western Wall in Jerusalem will stand at the site of the Jewish cemetery in Bilgoraj, in south-eastern Poland.
The wall, which is being funded by the Isaac Bashevis Singer Association of Bilgoraj, will display the names of Jews who lived in the town.
One name that will be included on the wall is Shmuel Ben-Artzi, father-in-law of Benjamin Netanyahu. Ben-Artzi was born in Bilgoraj in 1914. He later studied in the town's cheder and then at yeshiva in Miedzyrzec, Ukraine. He left Poland in the 1930s. He was a writer, poet, educator, who devoted several of his poems to Bilgoraj. He died in 2011.
The cost of the wall is about $15,000.

Deepika's debut record unlikely to be broken
Release of Badmaash Company means that Housefull did have good competition after all. Though it was expected by many that the Shahid Kapoor starrer won't be able to make much of an impact, the fact remains that it has done so indeed due to which Housefull has taken an initial hit. However, next week being pretty open with only Bumm Bumm Bole, Admissions Open and Kushti for competition, the ground is open for both Badmaash Company and Housefull to make a sustained impact. That would decide the journey of Housefull from being a mere hit to a super hit.
As has been forgotten by the entire industry, the media too completely ignored the other release of the week - Chase. With just a few lakhs coming in its kitty which won't be good enough to recover even the print and publicity cost, Chase is an out and out disaster and doesn't have much in it to make any impact on home video or satellite circuits as well. Have we seen the last of such inconsequential and insignificant films? Not yet, as one can pretty much see in the current week.

Mesh Tape
I just finished taping the drywall in a 12X25 room over our garage. For decades I have always used paper tape for my drywall projects and never had a problem. But on this project I thought it would save time to use mesh tape. I just finished sanding and now I am getting hairline cracks on many of the seams. After doing more research, I am learning that mesh tape will cause problems if not done with special mud or adhesive. I am also hearing that the only solution is to dig out the seams and replace the mesh with paper. :cry:
Does anyone have another repair method? If not, what is the easiest way to remove the old tape? I chiseled out one test joint and it was slow going. The mesh is pretty well embedded into the joint compound and comes out in strands.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ive never had a problem with mesh tape ever. i use it for all the butts and flats then paper for the corners. i've used mesh in the corner but i cant seems to get a good square corner. if you are having major cracking along the joints there could be a problem with how the drywall was screwed on and the condition of the joists. the only way to fix it really would be running your paper tape over what you have now and skim it out which definitley suckkks
Mesh tape should only be used with "Hot Mud" (Rapid-Setting bagged-mix) and NOT with ready-mix in buckets.
Read the discussion here: http://www.diychatroom.com/f101/diy-130966/#post831124
The only correction is to attempt to remove and re-tape the seams and to do it properly with the correct mix and tape.
I know drywallers that swear by mesh tape for new joints. Never allowed on my jobs for customary joints. There is a reason mud and paper tape has lasted for decades. It works. Plastic net stuff does not but for the intended purpose of crack repairs.
By the way, my hands were slapped talking in lingo that DIYers might not get. Let me explain hot mud.
Hot mud is sold according to its setting time. You can buy it, for example, in setting times from 5 minutes to 120 minutes in sacks or boxes with plastic liner. Once it senses moisture, hot mud powder starts to cure. It is nice because you can watch this happening, but with 5 minute you do not have time to watch. With the 20-45 minute stuff, for a DIYer, you can feel the material harden in say a nice drywall pan. When it is the consistency you want, grab a glob with a nice wide drywall knife and spread it on like butter.
You mix hot mud powder with water. If you goof and it does not feel right? Toss the mix and mix a new batch. The sack or box of stuff will cost you chimp change.
If the tape is doing it's job best it can, you should not put more tape of any kind over it.
i've never heard the term "hot mud" until i came on here. the only brand around here is sheetrook so everyone in this area just calls it sheetrock 20,45,90.
Atlantic, did you see this on tape strength?:
"In the case of paper tape, approximately 30 lb./lin. in. of tensile force (pulling apart) is required to break the
tape with no measurable movement or elongation (no stretching). On the other hand, glass-fiber tape elongates
(stretches like a rubber band) 0.03" before reaching maximum or breaking load of 70 lb./lin. in.
Research investigation has shown that hairline cracks or nail pops are visible at 0.01" of movement with
veneer plaster system joints treated with glass-fiber tape. Actual load at that amount of movement is only
20 lb./lin. in. or about 30% less than the breaking load of paper tape (with no movement). As such, paper tape
provides greater joint strength and is recommended where greater movement and shrinkage is anticipated.
The performance of glass-fiber tape is somewhat improved if the tape is prestressed or stretched slightly during
its application and imbedment with the veneer plaster. The prestressing is accomplished with the presetting
because as the veneer plaster sets, it expands and furnishes the movement necessary to stretch or prestress
the tape, thus increasing its immediate resistance to load (tensile forces). The amount of expansion provided by
the plaster is dependent on the rate at which the plaster sets. With rapid-drying conditions (see graph), the
plaster expansion will be significantly reduced resulting in no tension (prestressing) in the glass-fiber tape,
thus reducing its ability to control cracking.
Paper Tape Application Techniques The Sheetrock joint tape and Durabond or Easy Sand joint compound method is unaffected by rapid- drying conditions and achieves maximum joint strength (about 30 lb.) when dried. The setting-type compound is recommended, because once it is set, it remains stable, even when troweling the wet coat of veneer plaster
over it. If a drying type of joint compound were used, it would be rewetted by the plaster application causing
movement of the tape resulting in distortion of the finish surface and possible loss of joint strength."
Highlighting mine. From: http://www.usg.com/rc/technical-arti...ems-en-PM5.pdf
And, mesh for flats: http://www.usg.com/rc/data-submittal...ata-MH1178.pdf
Most if not all manufacturers of "mesh" tape specify that "at least' the first coat of compound is a "setting" type. Another possibility, did you overlap insulation over the studs rather than "tuck" and staple inside the stud bay?? I've seen that cause the problem you're talking about, especially when not using a "setting" compound. Happened to a guy who works for me when he did a job for a friend of his. I suggested he go back and sand down as much as he could (without actually sanding through the mesh) and putting a coat of DuraBond in the brown bag on, then skimming. It did the trick according to him. You may have to find a drywall supply yard to get it.

Any help
There are always solutions to giving your client 'their way' while maintaining a professional look.
But in the end, if they still want it to look like a 6th grader put it together, that choice is ultimately theirs, and then you have a decision to make:
1) Take 4 Advil, Give them what they want and take their money
2) Walk away and explain that your work is of a higher caliber ... That this project isn't worthy of your portfolio, thus isn't worth your time.
I do feel for you ... I really do. Check out on of my posts about a similar problem, and maybe you'll get a few ideas or some inspiration :0)

Do you have Photoshop? In there, under "Layer" there is a "Layer mask" option; Select "Reveal All" Then you can play with the transparancy of the layer mask, using gradients, the eraser tool, etc. By placing other photos over or under you can meld multiple photos together into one fluid background. It takes some practice to get it looking good, so start playing.
I am still battling it believe it or not! I have until Labor Day to finish the site which (because of the difficulties with these people) has taken a 'back burner' compared to some other better paying (and more tolerable) jobs. I have a MySQL database and a input front-end to create for their inventory/current stock page and I'll be done with it. Whether I want to SHOW it to any of you is another thing! ;0)

Megadeth's David Ellefson Studying to Be a Lutheran Pastor
During a recent interview, Megadeth bassist David Ellefson revealed that he is now an online student in the Specific Ministry Program at Concordia Seminary, which is operated by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. He is currently studying to be a Lutheran pastor, and he was asked to use his music background to start a contemporary worship service.
On growing up with the church: "I came from a good family, not a broken home. That became a model for me, and I saw church at center of it."
On writing songs using lyrics from the Old Testament: "For a Christmas service, I remixed some classics, not quite in a Megadeth fashion, but in a pretty heavy rock fashion."
On combining his love of church and heavy metal: "Some people want to morph things together into one, but I have a hand in both worlds. I love praise and worship music, and I love heavy metal."

The 1.9-million dollar grant will help flood control relocate nine east end families who live near the mouth of Brays Bayou.
"Unfortunately their homes were built in a very low lying area, they are in a flood plain, they do have a history of flooding and this will enable them to find comparable homes outside of the flood plain."
The Flood Control District's Heather Saucier says FEMA will pay 75% of the fair market value of a property located in a flood plain. That leaves the homeowner with a 25% loss. She says thanks to FEMA grants like this one flood control can kick in that 25% and even do more to help a homeowner break even.
"And so, if a comparable home outside the flood plain ends up costing more money we will make up that difference, to a certain degree, in addition to paying brokerage fees and closing costs and moving expenses as well."
It's only been about 30 years since flood control maps have been available so, says Saucier, many of the 25-hundred homes that have been bought since the 90's were built and purchased without being fully aware of the flooding potential.
FEMA says it is cheaper to buy these properties than to pay for future damages again and again. Local governments don't have to provide expensive and potentially dangerous emergency services and it reduces the cost of the National Flood Insurance Program.
