VERMILLION, SD, June 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) Any South Dakota homeowner affected by flooding along the Missouri River may be eligible to receive up to $5,000 in relocation assistance from the Vermillion Area Chamber and Economic Development Company (VCDC). As property damage continues to escalate along the Missouri River, the VCDC is offering to help homeowners rebuild in or relocate to Clay County, regardless of the location of their flooded home.

"The flooding has just begun to damage and destroy property," says Steve Howe, executive director of the VCDC. "As homeowners look at starting over in the coming weeks and months, we want to provide financial assistance and the opportunity for a fresh start."

Relocation assistance is available to all residents of flood-affected areas. Homeowners interested in purchasing or constructing a home in Clay County can receive up to $5,000 to offset expenses.

• A $3,000 one-time payment for homes purchased between $100,000 and $149,000
• A $4,000 one-time payment for homes valued at $150,000 and above
• A $5,000 one-time payment for new construction

"We want to show compassion for current residents and also give a helping hand to all those affected," says Howe. "If you are forced to relocate as a result of this historic event, we are here to help you defray the costs of moving or rebuilding."

Shock and recall: Negative emotion may enhance memory, study finds

2011-06-21

Picture a menacing drill sergeant, a gory slaughterhouse, a devastating scene of a natural disaster. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that viewing such emotion-laden images immediately after taking a test actually enhances people's retention of the tested material. The data the researchers gathered in recent studies are the first to show that negative arousal following successful retrieval of information enhances later recall of that information. The finding is counterintuitive. One would think that viewing a negative scene would tend to ...

Father's Day, Mother's Day -- how about Co-Parents Day?

2011-06-21

Fathers stumbling through child-rearing are a familiar sitcom theme. But a growing body of research at the University of California, Berkeley, is challenging the perception that dads are goofy, uncaring or incompetent caregivers. On the contrary, preliminary findings suggest their parenting skills are crucial to their kids' social and academic success, and that teamwork in parenting is the ideal. "There's a Mother's Day and there's a Father's Day. But there's no Co-Parents Day," which should be celebrated, too, said Philip Cowan, a UC Berkeley psychologist and one of ...

Outcomes of bypass surgery to repair blocked arteries in the legs tend to be better in the roughly one-in-five people who have inherited a specific genetic variation from both parents, according to a study presented at the late-breaking clinical trials session of the Vascular Annual Meeting in Chicago on June 18, 2011. For the estimated 8 million people in the United States with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and for their physicians, the new findings may prove useful in weighing treatment options – surgery versus medication alone, for example.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide buildup unlikely to spark abrupt climate change

2011-06-21

There have been instances in Earth history when average temperatures have changed rapidly, as much as 10 degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit) over a few decades, and some have speculated the same could happen again as the atmosphere becomes overloaded with carbon dioxide. New research lends support to evidence from numerous recent studies that suggest abrupt climate change appears to be the result of alterations in ocean circulation uniquely associated with ice ages. "There might be other mechanisms by which greenhouse gases may cause an abrupt climate change, ...
