You cannot set up homes in such a fashion, when the supposed firewalls were no firewalls," Bodnar says. If fire struck one home, "[i]t burned straight through." In January 2007, for example, a fire that was started in a vacant Hazelwood house burned through 12 row houses, displacing two dozen people and sending one man to the hospital in critical condition. That blaze, in fact, "brought Hazelwood front and center" on the city's list of priorities for demolition, says Michael Huss, the city's director of public safety and formerly its fire chief. Hazelwood has also been living in the shadow of the Mon-Fayette Expressway, a toll-road project that has been on drawing boards fos a half-century, but whose critical Pittsburgh-to-Route 51 portion remains unbuilt for lack of funding. "Since th...
BREAKING UP with a bank can be hard to do - and expensive if you don't do it right. Patsy Pahr of Towson, Md., says the mark left on her credit when she tried to close her Capital One credit card years ago came back recently to threaten her business license.

--- Crews have removed as much as 50,000 pounds of steel in a single day from the broken barge Davy Crockett. It is expected to be completely removed in late August or September.
Kanawha County's seven-member 30th Delegate District appeared headed for a breakup Thursday, and House of Delegates leaders abruptly adjourned their session Thursday to give members of the district time to agree on a compromise plan. As of Thursday afternoon, a pending amendment by Delegate Doug Skaff, D-Kanawha - one of the 30th District's seven representatives - would break the district into four districts: a three-member district to the west, a two-member district to the east, and single- member districts to the north and south of the current 31st District, which includes much of Charleston's downtown, East End and West Side.
My goal is to reduce the breaking up of families because it's the basis for our society," [Warren Chisum] says. "We have had in this state since the early '70s something we call divorce for insupportability, which is basically no-fault, which encourages divorce. When you have minor children in the marriage, that should not be an option. If the couple still ends up in divorce court, the judge would be able to use their marriage-class attendance as a factor in dividing their estate and determining spousal support. That might not seem like much of an issue: Logically, husband and wife would be on equal footing in court because couples generally attend marriage courses together. But the bill authorizes a court, in deciding spousal support, to consider all "relevant factors," including "wh...
Dear Carolyn: I'm taking a six-month trip to India to study and to work. I believe e-mail and Skype will make it easy for me to stay in touch. My girlfriend says I am choosing my own freedom over our relationship and that it is unreasonable to expect our relationship to stay the same way while I'm gone. She doesn't seem unhappy about it, but she did say that if I leave, we will have to break up because she doesn't want to be in a relationship with her inbox. What do you think?
Dear Crabby, A very good friend of mine is getting married soon. I've tried my best to convince her that with the current financial and employment situation of her and her groom-to-be, a wedding is a disaster waiting to happen. She insists it is "true love." As a meddling third party, how can I best sabotage her nuptials?
Divorce has always been expensive, emotionally and financially. But it's the financial element that's getting attention recently. A national association of family law attorneys, the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, says its members nationally saw a 37 percent drop in divorce cases in 2008 and a 57 percent drop in 2009.
Dear Miss Manners: I have heard that breaking a date for any reason other than absolute emergency is unacceptable, but I rather feel that under the circumstances, keeping the date would be inappropriate. You see, I accepted the invitation two weeks before the date was scheduled to occur and have since come to the startling realization that I cannot continue seeing the boy in question. My initial reaction is to tell him immediately, as I feel anything less would be leading him on, yet I have a date scheduled with him for later in the week. Shall I let him take me to the theater, only to tell him afterward that I no longer wish to see him? Would that not be cruel and seeming to take advantage of the opportunity to see a free show?
