Details on first human Mars flyby: dangerous, but we can do it
Even if you're as rich as Dennis Tito, if you're going to suddenly announce the formation of a private foundation to send humans to Mars and back as of 2018, you'd better have some data to back things up. In a technical feasibiliy announcement made public on its website, the Inspiration Mars Foundation has provided some intriguing details on its plan to send two people on a 500-day trip around Mars in a modified SpaceX dragon capsule.
Who gets to go?
500 days is a long time, and there's literally no room for personal disputes in the spaceship. The mission would be looking for a middle-aged married couple with non-type A personalities who've already had kids, and (ideally) have shown that they can get along for 500+ days at a stretch. A couple is also important because these people are gonna get really, really bored, and you'd better believe that some freakyness will be goin' on. Although, we should point out that space sex is probably kinda gross, because — Well, we won't get into detail, but use your imagination when it comes to sweating and zero gravity and being 30 million miles from the nearest shower.
Will it be safe?
The reason that the couple should already have had kids is that they may not be able to by the time they get back. Even traveling during the solar minimum, they're going to be exposed to a lot of radiation. Storing water at the back of the spacecraft (between the humans and the sun) will help mitigate that, but still, it's going to be risky, and a major solar event could potentially be fatal.
Furthermore, there's a small but not insignificant risk of micrometeorite strikes, a single one of which could potentially be a mission-ending event. There won't be room for space suits or an airlock, so if anything breaks, it has to be accessible and fixable from inside the ship.
The thing to understand here is that this mission is going to be 500 days. No less. As soon as the spacecraft makes its burn for Mars, the only way it's coming back is by heading all the way out and all the way back again. There's no auxiliary engine, and even if there was, there won't be enough fuel to turn around and come back to Earth. If there's some sort of serious problem on day two, well, they're just going to have to figure out a way to deal with it for the next 498 days.
Everyone is very well aware of the risks, here: they're prepared for something to go wrong, even catastrophically so, but that's just part of the deal with our first try at a mission like this.
How will they stay alive?
The Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) will be designed to keep two 70kg men alive for 500 days. This is funny, because they're definitely sending a heterosexual couple, but I digress. There won't be anything designed to keep people comfortable; it'll be "survival needs only." No showers. No privacy. No sleeping quarters. Total personal volume of just seven cubic meters. There will be exercise equipment because it's necessary for health. Food will be entirely dehydrated (all 1,384kg of it), and will likely be really, really boring. Water will probably be recycled, but it'll still be the biggest consumable by mass.
What will the Mars flyby be like?
The reward for all of this misery will be about 10 hours spent within 100,000 km of Mars, including a closest approach over the night side of the planet at 100 km of altitude, about four times closer to the surface of Mars than the ISS orbits above the surface of the Earth. At nearly 8 km/s, the spacecraft will be traveling about 10 times faster than the ISS does.
How will they land back on Earth?
The landing will be Apollo-style, with a capsule and heat shield using the atmosphere to slow down followed by parachutes and an ocean landing. The problem is, this will be the fastest atmospheric reentry ever attempted by a significant amount, with an initial aerocapture speed of 14 km/s. Apollo, by contrast, topped out at 11 km/s. This also means that the people in the spacecraft will set the record for the fastest moving humans ever, which is pretty cool, although our guess is that the whole first humans to Mars thing will probably overshadow that just a bit.
How much will it cost?
Estimates suggest that the overall mission will run somewhere from $1 billion to $2 billion. Sending Curiosity to Mars cost $2.5 billion.
Is a 2018 launch really possible?
Whether or not it's possible, launching in 2018 is essential, for two reasons: that's when an optimal free-return trajectory to Mars is available, and that's also a solar minimum, meaning that solar radiation will be less of a factor and the likelihood of a solar flare is small. This mission will either launch in 2018, or it won't launch at all: significant delays will probably result in cancelation, and the next orbital window won't open until the 2030s.
Making the deadline seems to be possible, barely, if everything goes right with both Inspiration Mars' spacecraft development and SpaceX's Falcon heavy launch schedule. And that's a big "if:" space is hard, things often don't work like they're supposed to right out of the gate, and it pays to be cautious, which is why the first humans to travel around the Moon were on the eighth Apollo mission.
We don't mean to suggest that Inspiration Mars is being hasty or reckless, by any means. It's just important to understand that this mission is willing to accept a level of risk that, historically, we haven't been entirely comfortable with when it comes to space travel. There is a very real chance that something will go seriously wrong, and there's very, very little safety margin and zero chance of a rescue. The astronauts who end up on this mission will have accepted that risk, and we have to as well: if something does go wrong, it needs to be understood that it is the price that we pay for expanding our horizons as a species, and we can't let it dissuade us from our drive for exploration.

franklin county dance instructor sentenced to 274 months and lifetime supervised release in child pornography case
NEW BERN - United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that in federal court today BRUCE ARTHUR HOWARD, 55, was sentenced by Federal District Court Judge Louise W. Flanagan to 274 months imprisonment and lifetime supervised release for receipt of child pornography.┬Ā HOWARD had been convicted of Taking Indecent Liberties With A Child in Forsyth County in a separate case in 1987.┬Ā Prior to his arrest, HOWARD had been employed as a dance instructor in multiple studios, including studios in Zebulon, Wilson, and Knightdale.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation developed a lead in August of 2011 that an individual in Louisburg, North Carolina was sharing child pornography over the Internet.┬Ā The crime was traced to the defendantŌĆÖs residence, where detectives executed a search warrant in October 2011 and found numerous images and videos of child pornography.┬Ā Subsequent forensic examination demonstrated that HOWARDŌĆÖs collection included images depicting the sexual abuse of prepubescent children and the sadistic abuse of children.┬Ā The investigation further revealed that the defendant had induced a child to create and send pornographic images of the child to the defendant, and had engaged the child in a discussion about engaging in sex acts. ┬Ā┬ĀNotwithstanding his prior sex offense, HOWARD was not required to register as a sex offender.
ŌĆ£This case is an excellent illustration of the strong connection between child pornography crimes and the sexual abuse of children,ŌĆØ said U.S. Attorney Thomas G. Walker.┬Ā ŌĆ£Child pornography crimes represent a grave danger, both direct and indirect, to the children in our community.┬Ā We will continue to make a priority of combating crimes that exploit and abuse children.ŌĆØ
This case was part of the Project Safe Childhood initiative, a national program aimed at ensuring that criminals exploiting children are effectively prosecuted by making full use of all available law enforcement resources at every level.┬Ā For more information about this important national project, Project Safe Childhood, go to www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation with the assistance of the Franklin County SheriffŌĆÖs Office.┬Ā Prosecution was coordinated with the Franklin County District AttorneyŌĆÖs Office.┬Ā Assistant United States Attorney Jay Exum prosecuted the case for the United States.┬Ā

Construction of Chancellors Hall
On Schedule at UW-Eau Claire
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: March 19, 1999
EAU CLAIRE Construction of Chancellors Hall, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's newest residence hall, is on track to be completed in time to be occupied during the summer of 2000.
"The construction progress is going extremely well," said Charles Major, director of housing and residence life at UW-Eau Claire. "They are definitely on schedule thanks to the good weather we've had this fall and winter."
The $12 million residence hall is being constructed on the upper campus west of Oak Ridge Hall. Construction began in October 1998.
"It's really taking shape nicely," Major said of the five-story building. "It's fitting on the site well. Comparing what we're seeing taking shape to the architectural drawings is confirming that this will be a nice and attractive hall."
The building which is expected to attract many upperclassmen will house 324 students in apartments, each with a small living area, kitchen, bathroom and four single bedrooms. The rooms will be wired for voice, video and data access. The building will be air-conditioned and include a lounge, computer lab, conference room and a seminar room equipped with the latest instructional technology.
Construction of a new hall is expected to help relieve the overload to current campus housing and to provide a living/learning environment in which academic programs can be integrated into residence hall life.
Students already are expressing interest in living in the hall, Major said, noting that his staff has not yet determined how it will select which students will get rooms in the hall if the demand is greater than the space available.

27-year-old Antonio Salazar Jr. made his second appearance in front of a judge since his arrest last Friday.
Salazar is facing one felony count of arson of an occupied structure.
Salazar's arson charge stems from an incident last Friday night, when around eight in the evening the Yuma fire and police departments responded to at least 12 fires set in the South end of Yuma.
During a search of the area a YPD officer spotted Salazar nearby holding evidence that he was involved in the fires.
Wednesday afternoon Salazar told the judge he wishes to represent himself, and repeatedly attempted to defy the judge by speaking out of turn.
It all ended with the 27-year-old having to be forcibly removed from the courtroom.
Salazar's bond has been reduced to $100,000.
He is scheduled to be back in court for a preliminary hearing next week.

Nokia's 'CEO Stephen Elop' Experiment Fails
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's hard enough to turn around the fortunes of a company when it seems that rivals are flawlessly executing their missions while securing more market share. But what does that say when a company can't seem to catch a break even as the competition is fumbling the ball?
This is the question that Nokia (NOK) investors should be asking. But since they haven't, I've taken it upon myself to press the issue on their behalf. That Nokia still enjoys unmitigated loyalty from investors has been a great source of aggravation for me, especially when trying to grade the performance of the company's CEO, Stephen Elop.
Elop Was Not the Savior He Believed He Was
The argument in Elop's favor that has been constant among Nokia loyalists is that the company still has "a decent chunk" of the overall phone market. But what exactly does that mean? Speaking of bad CEOs; both Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) still have "decent chunks" of the overall PC business. But Dell wants to plant its face into the ground, while HP is not expected to show any growth until 2014.
The similarities with Nokia is that Dell and H-P have been hemorrhaging market share for years. The difference is that Elop has made Nokia's situation much worse than when he was handed over the keys. Did Nokia have underlying fundamental struggles? Absolutely. The company's Symbian mobile operating system was uninspiring and posed no threat to (at the time) BlackBerry (BBRY) and Motorola.So I'm not debating the fact that Elop's predecessor, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, didn't deserve to be fired. But it's incorrect to suggest that Nokia (although on the decline) was already dead when Elop took over. But that didn't stop Elop from speaking as if he was the savior. When he first took the podium at his press conference, he said: "My job is to take the organization through a period of disruption and ensure that we are meeting the needs of customers while delivering superior financial results."
While that statement is pretty much a carbon copy of what every new leader says, I took issue with the fact that Elop wasted no time throwing is predecessor under the bus by criticizing how the company was "painted into a corner." Today, Nokia is not exactly a work of art, either. And speaking of claustrophobia, Elop's biggest gaffe has been his regrettable decision to tie Nokia's fortunes to the fate of Microsoft (MSFT), which at the time had its own battles with execution.

Welcome to the new PC Perspective!
Subject: Editorial | April 15, 2011 - 01:02 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: pcper
As of just after midnight ET on Friday the 15th of April, we made the switch over to the new version of the PC Perspective website! This is a very exciting (and daunting) time for us here on staff, so please bear with us as we fix the little hiccups that will occur during this time. In fact, we need your help! If you see something wrong, strange or something you just plain don't like, please leave us a comment in the are below after you have signed up for a new account.
We are counting on YOU to help make PCPer.com better for all of us!
Not only that be we are going to be giving away lots of PRIZES over the next couple of week thanks to our awesome sponsors that have stuck with us over the years. Keep hitting up the home page for the first prizes to be revealed and how to win them...
I know you will have some questions and I will try to answer the most common ones right here. If you have more, ask them in the comments and I will update this post accordingly!
- The Forums haven't changed at all!
- Nope, not yet, but they will be altered to the same style of appearance you see here very soon along with a VB version upgrade to boot.
- Do I have to use a different login / account here on the main site rather than use my account from the forums?
- You CAN use the same username / password from the forums if you want, but you DO have to create that new account here on the main PC Perspective page, however.
- The "Latest Forums" tab on the right is empty
- Yes, we know, thanks. Working on that tighter integration with the forums!
- There seems to be a lot of overlap between the "Latest Topics" and "Latest Reviews" and the flash thingy on the home page.
- We agree and are working on ways to make it less redundant.
- The Hardware Leaderboard is missing some content...
- Yes, we are working on setting that up again today as well. Sorry about that, it will be live again very soon!
Love the new layout guys. It took me about 6 months to work out that the little icons of the last site were sections. Te new layout is much more modern and clear.
Looks great on my HTC's thunderbolt , Loads anb scales fast. Flash player and tabs works excellent.
Nice and about time with the comments - most of the blogs I read most of the interesting, important and comedy is in the comments, I imagine you will now see you page views increase.
Well done.
I could see a lot of issues arising in the comments in the form of spam and moderation. Just something to keep in mind while working out the kinks. ;)
omg this site went from decent to FUGLY. i used to come here every day and read the topics etc.. now its such an inelegant mess of a website :(
In the old format the news section articles would occasionally have related links at the bottom of the news article. I this format I have to click the "read more" in order to see these links. Doing this for each article in order to check for links is time consuming and aggravating. Please get the related links back on the main page.
Fair point, I think we can do that.
Echoing djskinnyb's sentiments about the article links. Please get them back on the front page!
Love it!
i have always thought pc per needed a update!
Love the new site guys, keep up the good work!
I feal old saying this, but I have to squint to read the text now. In Firefox 4 it looks like it's about ten point font. Could you bump it up a couple of points? 12 or 14, or whatever it was before?
We have had one or two comments to this degree - we are going to experiment with a slightly larger font, yes.
Great, thanks.
made new account but your site gave me the password. How do you change it? Can't edit my own profile.
Other than that, the site looks freaken awesome :)
I found where you can edit profile. Really got to make it easier. The button (link) is so small and away from your line of site (on the right). I suggest using a button or icon and it should be placed on the left not the right. Using a link is kind of corny.
If you click on your name in the top header area, you can edit your profile there, right?
@Mr. Perfect.
Just hold control button and hit the + button. Text will get bigger for you lol
That's a work around, but not a real solution. You'd have to reduce it again when you browse to other sites, otherwise they'd look like they came out of the large print section of the library.
I am so glad we are able to add comments to the reviews, finally! Great job on the new look!
I don't know if it can be changed, but on the window that loops the latest 5 posts, can the loop with the numbers be moved out of the way. The pictures are completely cut off and you can't see them.
I don't know if you're addressing this or not, but after logging in to my account the search bar disappears. Not that it's a big deal to log out.
What search bar disappears? Can you show me a screenshot?
Hi, First let me say that this site is one of the most informative for tech, and I read every day. However, I much prefer the old setup, why?. It used all of the screen area, now it only uses the center of the screen. I use a 24" full HD screen and now I have unused wasted space on either side of the screen. This to me is a waste of screen space. Yes have a new format, but use all of the screen, please. Keep up the great stuff.
I think the layout on you site is just fine it has more than an abundance of reviews and current news and just filled with so much content it just like a one stop shoping place for the latest in technolgy! Im not really sure Im the one you should be asking aftre a couple of brain surgeries my mind has the ability to loose its cognitive thinking skills and totally loose track of what Im thinking and why so someone more focused would be a better candidate for site feedback but I seem to be able to navigate ok!The only thing I have a problem with that is a GOOD Problem to have is the the amount of giveaways youhave had here lately which like I said to me is just another oppurtunity to get blessed with a win on something I could use and need so keep them coming because I want to win and have a good day for once in a while and maybe make it easier to see who the winners are so I will know if I have got so lucky! Thanks guys sorry for the xtra long answer but like I said those cognitive thinking skill have been diminshed but no its not old times! LOL Im just a 55 year ole geek that loves computers, overclocking, modding and just sheer raw power!
I definitely like the new layout. It was a bit to get used to at first but I do like it now. Great job on site and thank you OCZ for being a sponsor. Thanks Ryan...
great site..only one thing can you post the podcast a little more quickly
Thank's OCZ for its sponsorship of PC Perspective. The new site sure is pretty; but it will take a little getting used to the layout.
When you post contest winners can you post them in the original post if possible please.
Thanks OCZ for sponsoring the contest.
(Noticed there is already a FAQ explanation already). The forums login I created isn't the same as the new pcper.com login. No biggie, I just made the same login/pass on both forums and the new pcper.com.
On my browser (Firefox 4 on mac, fully updated) all the content is cut off to the left hand side as shown here: http://bayimg.com/DAInGaADd
Was kind of tricky to post this too, since I had to turn off the page style to see the invisible word verification thingy.
I think the layout of the site is just great its easy to navigate and appealing to the eyes great job!!

Hi, it's been a funny old few days, but I took these and wanted to share! I am so behind on blogging, but when rl gets busy, it happens! I hope you enjoy what I have to show you :)
I wanted to look cute.. and casual today, but also kinda sexy. So what better than some skinny leather pants coupled with cute sneakers and a cuter top!? I love these tucked tanks from Tee*fy, they work just fine with high rise waists or ones like these, it doesn't look odd ever with hipsters! To make the look as perfect as possible, I chose a hair that comes with a Beanie. This Lyric hair from Chemistry comes on it's own, but you get a pack of Beanies in various colours to go with, as yellow is one of my faves, I *had* to choose Mustard! I really love this look, it's so cuteeeee! Even if I do say so myself :D
The skin I am wearing, as well as the ones below (the full range shown) are the skin for Zodiac from Essences this month! I've only shown three brow colours, but you can already see you get good options! These babies come with teeth tho, they aren't a tattoo layer they are ON the actual skin. Essences skins are always so soft and gorgeous looking, with a flawless face and just eatable looking. Yep, EAT MY FACE. PLEASE. That's all for now, I'm so tired! :(

#noemail – Exformatics Ditch Internal EmailsPaul, · Categories: #noemail
Okay so Denmark-based Exformatics does have a dog in the fight; they make and market the Anywhere app which let's you manage activity streams more effectively on your mobile devices. But that also means that they will soon have an even deeper understanding of activity stream management throughout their company.
First payoffs? During #nomail January, all email use dropped 55% and yielded streams of more focused and better shared information. Largest drops in email use was among management — less meaningless CC, acknowledgements, "here's my report," etc. "CTO Morten Marquard managed to cut the amount of emails to 1/3 compared to November 2011."
"We spend a disproportionate amount of time reading, contemplating and answering emails, that could have been dealt with far more rapidly and more efficiently face to face, in the activity stream or via the designated task concept in our intranet solution. We want to get rid of internal emails. Externally, we have to use email for communicating with customers and suppliers – at least for now," Morten Marquard, CTO in Exformatics says.
The substitute for internal emails is activity streams – the business oriented equivalent of statuses in e.g. Facebook, Google+ and other social media. The activity stream is central in the solution for intelligent Enterprise Content and information Management that is used by the employees. Instead of filling up individual inboxes with notes, questions, tasks, these can be shared on a specific activity, case or project. This way, employees with already full schedules get rid of context switching and interruptions from email popups.
Full article at SharePoint Europe.
2 Responses to "#noemail – Exformatics Ditch Internal Emails"
The challenge is finding the right backend system to organize the activity streams. Google tried with Wave, but it didn't take. They are trying again with Google+, which I really think of as more of a collaboration engine than a social system. Facebook has low a signal to noise ratio. I'm not enamored of using something as heavy as Sharepoint on the back end to organize the streams. What will have the right level of flexibility but not be overly complicated? In the 2 minutes I've been thinking about and typing this, I'm wondering if Drupal could do the job…hmmm…

What causes carbonates to form in a cyanide plating bath? L.R.
There are three main mechanisms for forming carbonates in a cyanide plating bath. One mechanism is due to low or poor anode efficiency. In this case, the cyanide is oxidized to carbonate. Another mechanism involves the absorption of carbon dioxide from air in an alkaline solution. The third mechanism involves the decomposition of cyanide. All three mechanisms are usually at work in a cyanide plating bath. The bottom line is you will almost always have this problem!

The Airrus Co-Matrix 2.0 Filament Wound Casting Rods are re-styled versions of the award-winning Co-Matrix 457 rod series that put Airrus Rods on the map. Built around the original Co-Matrix blanks, the advanced construction process integrates two separate and distinctive manufacturing processes. Filament winding, which is used in the lower section of the rod, provides maximum hook set capabilities and castability, and Airrus's proprietary Multi Modulus tip section, furnishes the ultimate combination of lure presentation, rod control and sensitivity. Airrus also added a split reel seat for maximum hand to blank contact, and a proprietary Micro Guide system allows for longer more accurate casting. Offering the quailty blank tapers, construction, and characteristics that made the original Co-Matrix 457 series such a success, the new Airrus Co-Matrix 2.0 Filament Wound Casting Rods also deliver some key improvements to take your fishing experience to the next level.
Comments: I purchased the 7'3MH because the Airrus rods looked pretty cool. I like the look of it with the filament wound but I was an idiot and didn't check the taper before buying. The 7'3 has a medium taper so there isn't a whole lot of backbone with it. I'm returning mine but only because of the taper, not because it's a bad rod. From using it, it seems like a nice rod, not as light as a Carrot Stix Black and the metal butt makes it kind of heavy but overall I liked the rod. I had it paired up with an Okuma Helios reel. The only strange thing is that it seems like a 2 piece rod, in the last picture if you look above the eye lit, you can kind of see that the top piece of the rod is pushed down in the first part and then glued or whatever they used. I would get another one with the right taper but figured I would pair my Okuma up with the Helios rod. Give them a try though!

Hiddink's last-second field goal lifts Pirates past Eagles
Wednesday, September 14, 2011
By Shiela K. Haynes
Contributing Writer
Pirates' kicker Seth Hiddink started and finished Wylie's come-from-behind 30-27 victory over Rowlett at Homer B. Johnson Stadium.
The senior opened the game with a 24-yard field goal. Late in the first half with Rowlett up 20-10, Hiddink kept the Pirates in contention with a 38-yarder.
Hiddink then came through with the biggest boot of the evening, nailing a 39-yarder with just two seconds left that broke a 27-27 deadlock.
After the game, the kicker said, "I'd been preparing pretty much the whole game. I knew that we were going to need me to step up. I did what I was trained to do."

Other people's dreams are never interesting…except when they're about sex. Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means. This week, a reader asks Lauri:
I recently divorced my ex-husband after his not being there for me and his children for many years. I also took back my maiden name. The other night I dreamed that he, as a male, was having a baby. What might my dream mean?
Lauri: Deciding to end a marriage is never easy, especially when children are involved. I witnessed my sister struggle with that decision — there was an awful lot of guilt she had to sort through, but ultimately it was the right decision because an unemployed abusive drunk does not a loving father and husband make!  I believe your dream reflects that you made the right decision as well, despite any guilt you may have had. Birth in a dream — no matter who is delivering — always points to a brand new beginning in waking life.
Since your ex is the one birthing the baby, it may be connected to his new life or new attitude. Since you divorced, has he turned things around at all? Does he now seem more attentive as a father? It is also possible that this dream is about YOUR new life that — because of him — you are now able to live. Sometimes we have to go through a hellish situation in order to find ourselves.  That baby just might be YOU! He "delivered you" from an unhappy marriage so that you can now have "a new life." Pretty good dream, I'd say.
Got a dream you want Lauri to analyze? Click here to submit it. Anonymity guaranteed! And don't forget: you can get access to Lauri's free Dream Dictionary on her site.

WABC Pays Tribute to Gil Noble
WABC/Channel 7 remembered its longtime friend and colleague Gil Noble yesterday. On the station's weekly African-American public affairs show Here and Now, host Sandra Bookman opened the program with a six-minute remembrance of Noble.
Noble, the trailblazing journalist was the co-host and reporter on Like It Is when it debuted in 1968. He remained host of the award-winning show documenting the black experience for 43 years. Noble suffered a severe stroke last summer and died Thursday.
Bookman interspersed vintage clips of Noble, with several former guests sharing their memories. Noble's daughter Lisa, Bill Cosby, Harry Belafonte, Reverend Al Sharpton, and former Mayor David Dinkins were among those interviewed for the tribute.
It's not clear whether Channel 7 rushed to do the Noble piece after his death or if it were recorded previously, given Noble's deteriorating state. For what it's worth, Bookman's voice-over may shed some light.

The US is currently facing an affordable housing crisis. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the nation has approximately three million fewer affordable housing units for low-income people than are needed to house them. In 2008 there were only 61 affordable units for every 100 people with extremely low incomes (up from 40 in 2005). However, approximately half of those units are not available to the lowest-income renters because they are occupied by higher-income renters or are being held vacant. This means approximately 9.2 million of the lowest-income renters are competing for only 3.4 million affordable and available rental units. This severe shortage is a significant problem for older people, since approximately 32 percent of renters over 65 years old live in poverty.
The severe shortage of affordable housing negatively impacts millions of Americans who suffer from homelessness, live in overcrowded and substandard housing units, or are faced with high housing costs that exceed 30 percent of their incomes. The collapse of the housing market and sharp increase in foreclosures has also had a devastating impact on older people. The public perception is that older Americans are financially secure in their homes, but hundreds of thousands are not and face uncertainty over their futures as homeowners.
The declining availability and affordability of private-market housing and the rising cost-to-income ratios for housing have increased the importance of federally subsidized housing for older renters with low incomes. However, housing assistance has represented a small and shrinking share of the federal budget. Finding housing, even with a rental subsidy, can be difficult, particularly in tight rental markets. The supply of affordable housing, already limited, is further reduced by landlords' unwillingness to rent to those with Section 8 vouchers. The availability of suitable affordable housing is further limited for those who have disabilities.
Housing Affordability Policy Chart (PDF, 5 Pages)
In recent years challenges to providing federally assisted affordable housing occur as a result of reductions in congressional appropriations. In many markets where housing costs rise faster than inflation, the effect of decreased federal appropriations can be a reduction of the number of affordable units and/or a shift of assistance away from renters with low incomes.
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided several new tools to help mitigate the foreclosure crisis and increase housing affordability, including creating a new national housing trust fund; a new neighborhood stabilization program; modifications to the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage reverse mortgage loan requirements, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan programs; prohibitions on seller-funded down payments creating an FHA foreclosure rescue program (called Hope for Homeowners) and a first-time homebuyer's tax credit and other provisions. Billions of dollars were provided in funding for the Public Housing Capital Fund, the HOME program to complete stalled Low-Income Housing Tax Credit projects, Rural Housing Direct loans, the HUD Energy Efficiency Program and other programs. Together, these changes and new programs were intended to address several of the effects of the housing crisis and provide options for states and localities to promote affordable housing. As the financial and housing crisis evolved, results have been mixed: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the expected contributions to the National Housing Trust Fund were suspended and other programs have had varying impacts for homeowners and the housing market.
The Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program is the principal federally funded construction program for housing designed specifically for people age 62 and older. Having placed residents in more than 300,000 units, the program has played a key role in expanding the range of housing choices available to older people. Section 202 housing provides an important source of housing for low-income older adults across a wide range of abilities and needs, simultaneously serving both frail and nonfrail populations in an integrated community. For example, some Section 202 facilities are being converted into assisted living facilities to help serve increasingly frail residents.
Though Section 202 is reaching older adults in need, the program faces several challenges, including funding reductions, high demand for housing, project development delays, and outdated facilities, among others. The availability of affordable housing units for older adults may be further reduced by the potential loss of older Section 202 projects as Section 8 project-based rental-assistance contracts—and the low-income-use restrictions attached to them—begin to expire.
Section 202 Supportive Housing Policy Chart (PDF, 2 Pages)
The federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), enacted as part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, provides tax benefits for investing in the production of low-income rental units. Approximately 30 percent of the 23,000 LIHTC properties placed into service between 1987 and 2006 were intended primarily for older people. Tax credits may be used only for residential rental properties and in some cases used for assisted living residence without frequent nursing services available to residents. Given that 38 percent of the older people in tax credit properties intended primarily for older adults were frail or disabled, a significant resident population may have difficulty aging in place in these facilities and could benefit from supportive services. While housing projects that provided services are eligible for the LIHTC, their costs must be covered by the gross rent, which may push the rent over the allowable rate for subsidized housing. As such, resident services may not be financially feasible if costs are too high.
While its implementation and execution have been successful, there are some areas of difficulties with the LIHTC program. There is a high demand for units in tax credit properties, as demonstrated by long waiting lists and vacancy rates substantially lower than the national average for all rental units.
Prior to the economic crisis of 2007 and 2008, demand for tax credits was high, but the struggling economy has meant that fewer investors need tax credit investments. LIHTC has been a major source of funds for construction of new affordable housing units, but lower usage of tax credits will negatively impact the overall production of units.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program Policy Chart (PDF, 2 Pages)
Older Americans are particularly vulnerable to rising rental costs. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, nearly 2.5 million senior renters, or 53 percent of all seniors who rent, are paying more than they can afford for housing. In addition, 1.4 million senior renters are paying more than 50 percent of their income on housing costs and meet the definition of "severely cost burdened." Moreover, current production of affordable housing is unable to keep pace with growing demand. Therefore federal government programs such as project-based Section 8, Section 202 Housing for the Elderly, and Section 811 Housing for Persons with Disabilities are crucial funding sources for subsidized housing.
Many affordable housing units are threatened due to rising property values that give landlords incentive to opt out of the affordable housing market as their contracts expire and to charge the highest market rents or sell their buildings. Lower-income older people need housing options in areas that are close to transit, shopping, and other community resources.
Rental-assistance contracts—Rental assistance contracts provide funding to cover the costs for operating HUD-approved housing and to help tenants cover the difference between their contribution and the cost of rent. Residents living at facilities funded under Section 8 rental-assistance contracts (46 percent of whose families are headed by people age 62 and older) and those living in the former Section 221(d)(3) Below Market Interest Rate projects and Section 236 projects (approximately 30 percent of whose families are headed by people age 62 and older) could be at risk of losing their homes if these contracts expire.
Mark-to-market program—Projects with rents above the prevailing market level in their area may also disappear from the housing stock. Though less common, these projects are expensive for HUD to support. The mark-to-market program, established in 1997, reduces and restructures debt for these projects and renews Section 8 assistance at lower rent levels. Although HUD takes a one-time capital loss from the debt restructuring, the agency subsequently saves money through the lower rent subsidy. But in the course of the program, some residents may be displaced if the landlord declines to participate.
HOPE VI program—Affordable public housing is also at risk. Since 1993 the HOPE VI program has helped public housing authorities modernize their units. In many cases this has meant demolishing and replacing public housing with mixed-use, mixed-income housing. Although many public housing authorities have used HOPE VI grants to provide affordable supportive housing solutions for older Americans, the program can cause displacement, and there is no requirement that units be replaced one for one. A new initiative "Choice Neighborhoods," is designed to create housing and livable communities from distressed neighborhoods and requires one-for-one replacement.

The Department of Agriculture has several programs that impact housing in rural areas. The Rural Housing Service (RHS) Section 515 program provides low-interest loans to fund the construction of apartments for low-income renters in rural areas. Section 515 units serve an extremely low-income population in need of affordable housing. A 2004 RHS report found that there were 434,296 Section 515 units in nearly 16,000 properties with an average property age of 23 years and that 58 percent of tenants were age 62 and older and/or disabled. Although many of these older people will require personal care services, physically frail or cognitively impaired Section 515 residents cannot receive supportive services from the housing provider as RHS rules require residents to be fully independent.
The Section 515 program has undergone severe cuts since the mid-1980s. Much of the existing affordable Section 515 stock is at risk of being lost, as assistance contracts expire and owners convert their units to market rates. To address the aging Section 515 portfolio and the loss of units, RHS recommended implementing strategies such as: tenant protections through housing vouchers to help tenants remain in place or seek new housing elsewhere when the property they live in leaves the program, and housing-revitalization scenarios. However, there are concerns that revitalization might eliminate the existing policy under the Emergency Low-Income Housing Preservation Act that keeps older properties in the program or that tenants would not receive sufficient assistance when properties leave the program.
The RHS Section 504 program provides home-repair assistance to homeowners in rural areas. It has had four times as many eligible applicants as funds available. Among all homes with moderate or severe physical problems occupied by older households in 2005, 30 percent were located in rural areas.

Manufactured housing provides a major source of unsubsidized housing for low- and moderate-income households. In 2009 there were almost 8.8 million manufactured homes occupied as a primary residence, of which 2.7 million were owned or rented by someone age 55 or older. In addition, there were approximately one million manufactured homes held as vacation or second homes, of which two-thirds were owned by someone age 50 or older. Manufactured housing plays a critical role in serving the housing needs of older Americans who might otherwise find it difficult to live affordably. AARP estimates that the median income of households headed by someone age 50 or older living in manufactured housing in 2005 was approximately $22,000, compared with about $44,000 for residents 50 and older in conventional single-family housing. Although about 60 percent of residents 50 and older living in a manufactured home are considered low incomes, they typically receive no direct housing subsidy. Affordability for residents is complicated by the financing, utilities, maintenance, and repair costs of such housing. Improvements to the Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards can go a long way toward reducing maintenance and repair costs.
Reforms—The 1994 National Commission on Manufactured Housing made recommendations on modernizing the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. Their recommendations included creating a committee to updated construction and safety standards, developing an expedited standards adoption process, and enacting a federal requirement for a manufacturer's warranty. Although the committee was created, other efforts to enact reforms have not been as successful.
Handling consumer complaints— Though states can create agencies to enforce manufactured homes, many lack adequate oversight. Landlord-tenant issues have become particularly important in many communities where low vacancy rates, a diminishing supply of lots (known as a closed park situation), and rent increases make it difficult to place a manufactured home. As a response AARP sponsored the development of a model statute by the National Consumer Law Center, known as the Manufactured Homeowner's Bill of Rights, which covers a variety of issues, including rents, tenant rights, and park conversions.
Issues facing owners of manufactured housing units—Owners of manufactured housing face several issues that differ from conventional, "stick-built" housing owners. These include: owning the unit but possibly not the underlying land; their tenure being threatened if the land is sold or changes uses; in states with minimal protections residents may fear retaliation from park owners for attempting to form resident associations; park owners can deny a potential buyer the right to keep a home in location; and a lack of protections that can limit the ability of unit owners to exercise control over their homes. Additionally, manufactured homes built prior to the development of national construction and safety standards are generally considered to be substandard and can have energy efficiency and safety issues.

Conference Overview
Walk-ins Bring Attendance to 800 = Success
National Conference on Prostate Cancer 2005 – Exploring New Pathways: Sharing the Journey"
June 16-19, 2005 – Thursday – Sunday
Omni Shoreham Hotel
Washington, D.C.
The PCRI would like to congratulate the Foundation for Cancer Research and Education (FCRE) and UsTOO for a successful National Conference on Prostate Cancer. Despite disappointing early registrations, over 200 "Walk-ins" brought the audience to 800 "ravenous" attendees who were "hungry" for the latest information on prostate cancer. Their appetites were satisfied by the 21 speakers who provided a mouth-watering spread of "food for thought".
For those who were unable to attend, the full conference was video-recorded and is available on DVDs through the FCRE website.
While PCRI was regretfully forced to discontinue its role as a full Partner in the Conference, we continued to support the event by producing the program, preparing the Syllabus and providing for the pre-conference registration.
Foundation for Cancer Research and Education (FCRE) and Us TOO International share with PCRI a dedication to educating the public about prostate cancer, pursuing research into the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, and improving the level of care for men with this disease.
