It was only a month ago that most Baltimoreans learned that the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) is contracting to sell off about half of its 10,300 federally subsidized low- income apartments to private companies.
The Baltimore Brew broke the news in a series of stories that irritated Housing Commissioner Paul Graziano and prompted several radio appearances and a March 12 City Council hearing.
"They came in here and left notices on each floor" just before Christmas, says Floyd Vines, a resident of the J Van Story Branch senior apartments on 20th Street. "I said, 'What-they going to privatize?' Not that I was automatically skeptical. But I was like, 'This is the guy they send in to take you out.' I was joking with him-'Are you with the CIA or something?'"
The program itself has been known to housing policy insiders since at least 2012. And those who didn't know probably could have guessed what was coming. The Van Story Branch apartments are slated for a "phase two" sale; HABC estimates they need more than $19 million in rehab.
Underlying the arguments and worries about what might become of vulnerable elderly and disabled tenants under the new regime is a policy shift that has systematically diverted federal tax money away from direct housing subsidies and into the pockets of banks and wealthy corporations for nearly three decades.
Since 1986, public housing has been built mostly using the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, which allows a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal taxes for those who buy it.
While nearly 100,000 new units of low-income housing have been built or renovated annually under this program, the buildings erected in the 1950s and '60s using direct federal subsidies have been torn down-mainly because of lack of maintenance. "HUD estimates a national backlog of deferred maintenance and capital need of approximately $27 billion," the Housing Authority says in a handout it's titled Frequently Asked Questions.
Coincidentally, $27 billion is what the Low Income Housing Tax Credit cost the federal treasury from 2010 through 2014.
The total tax expenditure-that is, taxes foregone by the federal government-from the Low Income Housing Tax Credit since its 1986 inception is in excess of $100 billion.
"I went back and did a little research on the Low Income Housing Tax Credit," City Councilman Bill Henry says. "And, unsurprisingly, it's a product of the Reagan administration. People say it's the most successful affordable housing program ever, and of course it is, because its operation requires that the private sector make money."
Graziano would not have chosen it, but it's the best option he has. "RAD is the best choice because, simply, there are no other choices available to HABC or HUD that have the potential to be this transformative for public housing and its residents," he writes in the FAQ, adding that Baltimore's share of the $27 billion housing maintenance and repair backlog is $800 million. "Given the current climate in Congress, there is no realistic expectation that there will be federal funding available in that magnitude for public housing."
Graziano says that through the magic of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, RAD will allow HUD to invest over $6 billion nationwide in public housing "without further appropriations from Congress."
"Doing nothing is also not an option," Graziano says. About 1 percent of all HUD-funded public housing is lost each year to lack of maintenance. "HABC is not immune to this trend."
Phase one of the plan would sell 11 publicly owned complexes to private companies that have already won the right to purchase them in a Request for Proposal bid that happened last summer, according to HABC's handout. Eleven more sales will happen in phase two, beginning in 2015.
HABC chose 10 developers to operate the 11 HABC-owned projects. Enterprise Homes will get The Allendale at 3600 W. Franklin, PIRHL Development the Bernard E. Mason Senior Apartments at 2121 Windsor Garden Lane and The Woda Group will take over The Somerset Court on the 600 block of Aisquith St.
Michaels Development gets Pleasant View Gardens on the 200 block of Aisquith; The Community Builders gets the McCulloh Homes Extension at 501 Dolphin St.; Telesis gets The Brentwood at 410 E. 25th Street; Landex gets the Bel-Park Tower (3800 W. Belvedere Ave.) and the Lakeview Towers on Druid Park Lake Drive; Community Preservation & Development Corp. gets Hollins House at 1010 W. Baltimore St.; The French Companies/Community Housing Partners is taking over Primrose Place at 820 S. Caton Ave.; and Pennrose is taking over the Wyman House at 123 W. 29th St.
"The consideration for applying primarily for the mixed-population high-rises is that with only one exception they are all single-building developments and therefore significantly easier to finance through the [Low Income Housing Tax Credit], which HABC had determined was a necessary element of any RAD transaction," HABC says.
Housing advocates have been scrambling to check up on the companies, says Jessica Lewis of the Right to Housing Alliance, an organization led by low-income residents.

National Arthritis Month --- May 2004
May is National Arthritis Month. This year's theme is "The 11-Step Challenge," and the Arthritis Foundation is urging persons to limit the impact of arthritis on their lives by following 11 steps, among them shedding excess weight, becoming active, and maintaining a healthy diet.
In 2001, an estimated 49 million U.S. adults had doctor-diagnosed arthritis, and an additional 21 million adults had possible arthritis (1). Arthritis and other rheumatic conditions are the leading causes of disability in the United States (2). CDC, the Arthritis Foundation, and other organizations continue to implement the National Arthritis Action Plan: A Public Health Strategy (3) to promote progress toward reaching the arthritis-related national health objectives for 2010 (objectives 2.1--2.8) (4).
Additional information about arthritis, National Arthritis Month, the 11-Step Challenge, the National Arthritis Action Plan, and local arthritis programs and services is available at http://www.arthritis.org or by telephone, 800-283-7800.

Home / Equipment and Set-Up : The Bike
Knowledge level:
Article posted: 01/05/2013
Step 2 - What Type
You have fixed your budget but what type of bike should you buy and how will you know if it fits? The next step is to understand what bikes are best for getting you through the training and sportive events and how to get the bike of your dream to fit the way it should.
What type?
To understand what type of bike you need, you need to understand the characteristics of your event and personal needs, the quote "horses for courses" is very relevant at this point.
There is no one answer for this and, if there was, it would make buying a bike very dull and wouldn't allow you to show off your new steed to your riding mates. However there are a few general choices to be made.
No, hybrids will not propel you up mountains with green emissions. Hybrid bikes are part mountain bike, part road bike. They'll have flat bars, upright position, easy gearing and may even have disc brakes. They're a popular choice for commuters, who need the comfort of a MTB but the speed of a road bike.
For shorter distance sportives, these compromise bikes will be fine but completing a longer sportives in a decent time will need a different bike. Do not fall in to the trap of getting these bikes just because you're starting off just to get round a shorter distance event and are maybe intimidated by drop handlebar skinny tyred racers. Read on and you'll probably see that a hybrid isn't a wise long term purchase.
Road bikes are made for road racing. They're built to be aggressive, bringing the rider's chest and head low over the front of the bike, making them more aerodynamic at high speeds. These bikes can be fantastic for sportives but their aggressive geometry and high gearing can be too much for some riders.
An aggressively set up road bike for a sportive could be damaging to both your enjoyment and performance. A fast and aerodynamic position is great but only if you can hold it comfortably for hours on end. If you're having to constantly sit-up, back off and stretch out, any time gains will rapidly be lost.
Having a professional bike fit including an assessment of you flexibility will determine if an aggressive racing frame will suit you.
With the boom in sportives, major manufacturers are bringing innovations to the road bike industry and developing bikes specifically with that market in mind. You'll get the go-faster benefits of a racing thoroughbred but with ride all day comfort.
A more relaxed riding position, sensible gearing and even vibration absorbing technology are combined with top end components which would not be out of place on a major UCI World Tour Team.
"The comfort revolution of sportive bikes has gone full circle and we're now seeing pro riders and teams adopting more relaxed geometries, spinning lower gears and releasing that a comfortable rider is a faster rider."
What size?
We are all different shapes and sizes, have little niggles in different joints and muscles, and enter different types of events ranging from 10-1000 miles. Sizing a bike is not a one shop stop for every bike rider, micro adjustments will always be needed to meet your needs both personally and for the events you plan to tackle.
However when sizing a bike there are a few things you need to consider when buying and sizing your bike, here are our top 5 tips:
You are not Super man or woman and you shouldn't look like them on the bike. Reaching for the handlebars should not be a struggle, as this will put unnecessary stress on the lower back and neck muscles.
When reaching for the handlebars you should be able to keep your head stable without stretching and you should not feel any tension in your lower back.
Saddle height
A saddle that is too high or low will have a big detrimental effect on your cycling performance, putting pressure on your hips or knees and potentially causing lower back issue. A saddle that is too high will be indicated by the hips excessively rocking leading to lower back tightness and discomfort. When a saddle is too low, the knee joint will not extend putting pressure on the muscles around that joint. A good starting point is that, with the pedal at the bottom of the stroke and your foot flat on it, there should be a slight bend in your knee.
Handlebar width
Handlebar width is something you might not be familiar with but women who have had their bike passed down to them by their partner will definitely understand the difference in widths. Bars should be chosen with the shoulder width of the rider in mind. Too wide bars will drop the upper body lower and be uncomfortable. Too narrow will result in the riders back becoming hunched and less control over the bike. Generally bar widths correlate with frame size and manufacturers will spec the correct one but, if you're especially tall, small or if your bike just doesn't feel right, it can be worth double checking.
Saddle Choice
Saddle choice is a very personal preference and although it's worth listening to the recommendations of others, we've all got different shaped behinds. Bike manufacturers are now bringing out a range of saddle types and widths and offering try before you buy schemes out of bike shops. Experiment and don't make the mistake of thinking that wider and heavily padded is necessarily more comfortable..
When you buy a bike you may have the option to specify the gearing. This again is horses for courses and preparing your steed for events you will be taking part in.
Standard chain-sets have double chainrings with 53 and 39 teeth and a cassette with an 11-25t range. The benefit of this set up are high gears for the flat sportives roads, descents and strong riders and no large gear jumps making it easier to hold a consistent cadence.
Compact chain-sets have 50 tooth and 34 tooth chain-rings and are found on the majority of bikes aimed at the sportive market. Combined with a rear cassette with 27, 28 or even 32 teeth largest sprocket, they're aimed at getting you round hilly sportive courses. You might find yourself missing higher top gears on fast descents but tales of "spinning out" with compacts are normally just cake shop bravado. The biggest disadvantage is a jump midway through the cassette but, for the bail out gears to get you up that last killer climb, it's worth it.
Triple chain-sets have three chain-rings, usually 52/42/30 but, with the increased popularity of compact set-ups, are becoming obsolete. They add weight and complexity to your bike and many of the additional gears they supposedly offer are just replications.

After injuring her best friend in a car accident, Cassidy Blake decided to leave town permanently. But now that her mother's sick, she's back to make amends. Sheriff Tate Lynch doesn't want to forgive his former fiancee for his sister's injury or for breaking his heart. And he certainly doesn't want to admit he still has feelings for her. The community can see her commitment to the town as she helps rebuild a church destroyed in a storm. But Tate's afraid of history repeating itself, even though Cassidy's actions prove she's a different person. Could the last secret she harbors about the accident drive Tate away for good?

Tracing the lives of missing persons
25 September 2012
Approximately 327,000 people go missing every year - 110,000 of them adults. Up until now there has been no research into why adults choose to go missing, how they disappear, where they go, and why they do, or do not, come back. That is about to change as a new ESRC-funded project entitled Geographies of Missing People will chronicle the stories of those who have chosen to disappear.
Researchers from Glasgow and Dundee University worked with the Metropolitan and Grampian police service to interview 45 people who have at some point in their life chosen to go missing. They spoke at length to police, police-based researchers, forensic scientists, academics and representatives of Missing People, an independent UK charity. The findings will be used to train police, inform government policy and design services to support those who disappear and their families.
The stories emerging from the project may challenge society's perception of missing people. They reveal, for example, that missing people often do not see themselves as missing. They are more likely to view themselves as taking time out and are often surprised by the label.
"Often we have this idea in our head of a missing person spending a long time planning their escape, before disappearing and reinventing their identity somewhere else," says the lead researcher of the project, Dr Hester Parr from Glasgow University.
"Actually the reality of it is the opposite of that; 70-80 per cent of missing people return within one week. Although this may seem like a very short time period, for the people involved it is a very traumatic and profound experience."
It is estimated that 80 per cent of people reported as missing suffer from mental health problems, and the crisis can often come about as a result of accumulated stresses such as financial worries or relationship breakdowns. Whatever the cause, most missing persons incidents are unplanned and short-term, ranging from less than 24 hours to just a few months.
However, for those few that do choose to never come back there exists a legal right to remain missing. Police will often advise a person to let their family know they are safe, but it is ultimately up to the missing person as to whether or not they want to do this. Dr Parr hopes that the outcomes of this research will help to generate a debate in the UK about how best to put into practice our right to remain missing.
The researchers are currently halfway through their study and are about to start talking to affected families in order to hear their stories. They have also launched a website this week to capture the written experiences of further missing people.
"This is a nationwide call for the missing to tell their stories," says Dr Parr.

Japan's Suzuki beats Asada for NHK Trophy
Lynn Kriengkairut and Logan Giulietti-Schmitt of the United States collided with Cathy Reed and Chris Reed of Japan in the warm-up. Both couples were able to perform their routines and finished sixth and seventh, respectively.
In the pairs final, Yuko Kawaguchi and Alexander Smirnov of Russia won the gold medal after receiving 122.49 points in the free skate. The Russian pair was fifth after the short program but impressed the judges with near-flawless performance to finish with 177.51.
Narumi Takahashi and Mervin Tran of Japan were second with 172.09, while world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany finished third.
The NHK Trophy is the fourth event of the 2011 International Skating Union's Grand Prix series.
