At a time when plenty of attention is being paid to reports regarding a handful of players who supposedly tested positive for marijuana or steroids at the Scouting Combine, a league source tells us that some teams are bracing for an extremely large number of positive tests to appear on the final list that the teams soon will receive.
The source speculated that the number of names could be as high as 25.
The reason for the feared spike in positive tests isn't known. The source predicts that most of the positive tests will arise from marijuana use.
And the source explained that the teams generally don't care if a guy smokes pot. They only care if the player could end up being suspended, since that's the kind of thing that can get the folks who draft or sign such players fired.
Indeed, the source estimated that half of the players on the source's team smoke pot.
Only half? What a bunch of prudes.
As Many As 25 Names To Appear On Combine Positive Drug Test List?

i dont get these morons, you cant stop smoking pot for a few months to cash in on the greatest payday of your life, these guys are dumber than i thought
footballfan09 says: Apr 3, 2009 11:27 PM
I'm hoping that Florio posts the list. Will be interesting to see which agents are telling the truth and which ones aren't. Hard to believe that an agent would lie?

im not buyin this 25??? seriously??? last year there was what 2

And how much do y'all want to bet that they give about zero dollars to marijuana legalization movements, a cause they probably care about?
gbyoopers says: Apr 3, 2009 11:34 PM
Who will be the next Warren Sapp?
foxylettuce says: Apr 3, 2009 11:37 PM
I smoke pot. Will I be included in the report?
It seems like these "sources" are doing this for a story, so why not mention me? "Foxylettuce tests positive for marijuana, e-coli and PED's".
splibmoney says: Apr 3, 2009 11:38 PM
Say what you want about herb, it's far less detremental to society than alcohol. You don't ever see marijuana traffic deaths or any domestic violence issues.
gbyoopers says: Apr 3, 2009 11:44 PM
O.K. then….who will be the next Warren Sapp?
TealDeal says: Apr 3, 2009 11:45 PM
Who cares, it should be legalized anyway…much less harmful than booze.

Oh no! People smoked pot! Oh the humanity!
tross3 says: Apr 4, 2009 12:06 AM
Meh, a huge percentage of my generation that is going through college and high school are smoking marijuana. It's going to be legalized eventually.
Rick Dees Nuts says: Apr 4, 2009 12:18 AM
So, now we know Florio has a source on the Bengals. Fifty bucks says it's Susanna Hoffs.
titans_fan says: Apr 4, 2009 12:28 AM
25 out of how many? 100? 200? Be interesting to see what percentage of the prospects didn't know the combine was coming up.
Brentonmcclellan says: Apr 4, 2009 12:46 AM
25 retractions if the "source" is NFL Draft Bible.
QotSA says: Apr 4, 2009 12:47 AM
The cup would have melted if I was at the combine.
NeoplatonistBolthead says: Apr 4, 2009 12:52 AM
See, the League puts too much emphasis on minor "character" issues, though finally they're starting to beat the inverse of that criticism, that they don't focus enough on the big stuff. Steroids: bad, because they affect the integrity of the sport. Pot: bad in the reg season, but between a player and his team. In the offseason, who gives a $#!‡?
pack-in-brazil says: Apr 4, 2009 1:26 AM

I imagine with what football players go through in terms of pain after a game, that pot smoking would be fairly common.
Osterhouse says: Apr 4, 2009 2:06 AM
If these guys stopped smoking for like a week or two before the combine and still worked out a ton and sweated a ton and drank a ton of water and took over the counter vitamins filled with B vitamins they would not test positive as long as they arent the type that smoke everyday. There are also tons of things you can take to flush it from your system you can find at head shops or GNC. So i dont think that many of them will test positive for weed.
4theloveofthegame says: Apr 4, 2009 2:59 AM
these posts are hillarious… but the big story here is what Goodell is going to do… if the list really is 25… i mean everyone knows that most of these NFL players smoke pot, and it just kind of gets overrlooked… but now it seems these rookies have caught wind of this and now 25 of them show up dirty for the draft. Not a good image…get high and you'll get drafted… that's what the worst of the loud mouths are going to say if Goodell just kind of lets this slide.
hell i've got no problem with smoking pot.. i know ALOT of people who would probably benefit from it,.. but you cant have that kind of label on your professional sports league… especially not created by the rookies.

Who the f–k cares? I mean honestly.. Michael Phelps smokes pot. Does it make him any less of an athlete? No. Does it enhance his performance? No. So I honestly don't see the problem.
Talons says: Apr 4, 2009 3:19 AM
Everyone reacts differently to pot-smoking. It affected me in the wrong way in my freshman year of college. After I quit, my grades rose to high honors again.
But now I'm a happy, unemployed beer-drinker right now, so I digress.
newfylad says: Apr 4, 2009 3:28 AM
The fact that this is an issue and the league and society in this country is bothered by this at all speaks to the lack of intelligence and level of closed-mindedness of the majority of the populace. If you disagree, go to an NFL game and look around, it's no Mensa meeting.
I would go into the debate of alcohol vs. cannabis but it's obviously over the heads of most, so keep on drinking, support the beer sponsers that advertise for the NFL, and keep your heads in the sand. Then, after the game, get in your cars, sometimes with your kids aboard, and drive home, risking their lives and everyone else on the road and continue to be disgusted at the report of an athlete testing positive for cannibas.
It's mind-boggling, but then most have little to be boggled.
Popeye says: Apr 4, 2009 7:08 AM
Is this site going downhill or what? come on dudes….this blog, site, whatever you want to call it has really gown south. Time to find a better site that actually does some NFL research
Welsh Gator says: Apr 4, 2009 7:15 AM
well titans_fan,
There were and always are over 300 players at the combine.
Fonzie says: Apr 4, 2009 7:43 AM
I can't figure out who is more dumb… the players for smokin dope before the combine – knowing they will be tested… or the NFL for testing for marijuana use when it has zero impact on a player's capability and is increasingly becoming an acceptable social aspect of life that generally harms few…
screaming sheep says: Apr 4, 2009 8:12 AM
Only half. Hmmm, we finally found something that the NBA does better. They have to be pushing 95%.
LionsfaninClev says: Apr 4, 2009 8:27 AM
When you have guys fighting to get an edge over the competition through working out and preparation. Guys go through the combine to show they can run a little faster, lift a little more weight, jump a little higher or further, etc. Football is a game of inches. It's difficult to see how marijuana doesn't matter. It destroyed Charles Rogers career.
bored_of_seinfeld_jokes says: Apr 4, 2009 8:30 AM
Yesterday on the NFL Network, Charlie Casserly (or maybe it was Mike Lombardi…. all the former GM talking heads look the same to me) said the exact opposite – he seems more willing to overlook steroids and get upset about pot, since a player who tests positive for pot when he KNOWS the test is coming is a bigger red flag. I'm surprised that there is such a varying opinion across team "sources". Regardless if it should be or not, pot is illegal and the NFL has it listed as a banned substance. Why should it rate any higher or lower than a nutritional supplement that can be purchased at GNC? The league says you can't use it, you know a test is coming, don't freaking use it 30 days before the combine. Some of these "sources" have questionable integrity.
Raiders757 says: Apr 4, 2009 12:13 PM
@ LionsfaninClev
It's easy to blame ones crutches in life for their failures, but the reality is that it was Charles Rogers who destroyed his career, not marijuana.
The same can be said for our beer drinking poster, Talons. It wasn't pot keeping him from getting high honors in college, it was only himself.
Blaming ones crutches in life is to avoid the true root of the problem. Drugs can be an issue within the source of a problem, but in the end, the blame has to fall on the individual.
JSpicoli says: Apr 4, 2009 3:12 PM
Florio, get off your high horse and realize about 60% of America, at least, smokes pot. AND alcohol blows it's doors off as far as being damaging.
Talons says: Apr 4, 2009 6:44 PM
"The same can be said for our beer drinking poster, Talons. It wasn't pot keeping him from getting high honors in college, it was only himself."
Good point and in retrospect, you're probably right. However, I became very complacent when I smoked. My point is that it affected me differently. Some people can handle smoking regularly. I couldn't.
I have no problem with people who choose to smoke, but I've learned I cannot.
As far as being a beer drinker, how many posters here don't love a couple cold ones from time-to-time?
As far as being laid-off, it's attributable to the economy. The company recently went under after laying-off 400 people.
veritas says: Apr 4, 2009 11:06 PM
Smoking in some states is just as illegal as forgetting to put coins in a parking meter. Its not a big deal, who cares. Next story please.

|"Solution Selling: Are You Having Trouble Implementing Your Solution Selling System? Keys to Successful Implementation" TCOSC. Many executives value the importance of having a formalized sales process in place in their organizations. Almost an equal number of executives have had unsuccessful experiences trying to install a consistent process in their organizations. Worse yet, many have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars on solution selling systems without appreciable return. Why is this occurrence so common? After all, the solution selling systems work. So, what is the problem? The answer is the systems were implemented improperly. We will delve into this topic in depth at the event. See http://www.tcosc.org/events/occhapter/july1008.html

Coaching the H-Back and tight end position that also encompasses the fullback spot, Fountain's players must have the versatility to be a powerful blocker while also be athletic enough to make plays in the passing game.
With senior bruiser Jay Prosch back to lead the way along with juniors C.J. Uzomah and Brandon Fulse and walk-on Gage Batten, Fountain pointed out for his guys to develop the way they need to it's about time management in practice and having the ability to do many different things on the field.
"It's kind of a different deal," the coach said. "They have to go out there and get split receiver work so at times we'll go out there and work with Coach (Dameyune) Craig for a period or two. Then we have to take them over and work with the offensive line on combo blocks and base blocks. Another big part of the practice is just getting in the backfield with shifts and movements and blocking from that position. Then we'll run routes with those guys. Those guys do a lot during practice."
The play of Prosch could be a major key to success for the 2013 offense. A true lead blocker whose play was one of the big reasons why Tre Mason ran for 1,000 yards last season, Prosch may not get many carries in his role in 2013 but Fountain notes that doesn't mean he won't touch the football.
"I think there will definitely be opportunities for him to do things with the ball in his hands," Fountain said. "He won't just be a blocking guy. I know one of Jay's biggest things when Coach Malzahn came in was that he thought it was just a spread offense. We told him that his position was probably the most valuable to this offense because he does a lot of the dirty work on the power and counter. Coach Malzahn has really liked what he's seen from Jay. I think you'll see him actually touching the ball at times. There will be some opportunities to do that."
C.J. Uzomah will be a junior this season.
While Fulse will play the traditional tight end role for the Tigers because of his physical blocking style, Uzomah may be the jack-of-all-trades this fall. A former high school quarterback, Uzomah has the speed to play outside at receiver, but is also strong enough to clear the way in the running game. Fountain is expecting big things from Uzomah this fall.
"C.J. is probably the most versatile guy we have," the coach said. "He can truly play split-five (slot receiver), tight end and the three-back (H-Back) for us in the backfield. Some of the other guys have bits and pieces of it, but he's the one guy who can do it all. I think that makes him a real value to our football team."
With a true blocking fullback, a tight end and a versatile player capable of doing both, Auburn has plenty of options in those spots this season. Fountain said that is a huge positive because Malzahn likes to move guys around, which should be an advantage this fall for the Tigers.
"I think at times you could see C.J, Brandon and Prosch on the field at the same time," Fountain said. "Sometimes you'll see just Brandon, or Brandon and C.J. or Prosch and C.J. out there together. Coach Malzahn's offense has always had two or three tailbacks on the field at some point or two or three H-Back/fullback types. You will definitely see them out there at times together."
A player who has caught the eyes of his coaches and teammates this preseason is Batten, a walk-on who came to Auburn to study i the honors program. A talented linebacker out of Dwyer High in Palm Beach, Fla., Batten was moved to fullback and now has a chance to following in his mentor Heath Evans' footsteps as a fullback with the Tigers.
"At that H-Back position Coach Malzahn has always tried to find a guy, whether he's a defensive guy or playing a different position on offense, to bring in and be an H-Back for us," Fountain said. "Gage was a guy we approached about doing it. He was doing a really good job at linebacker so it was tough for him to make that move, but he wanted to do what was best for the team.
"It's a real important to have depth," Fountain added. "We have got depth with Brandon Fulse and C.J., but Gage is a guy who gives you depth as a box guy, blocking the counters and sweeps. That has been really good for us."

Lakers have the makings of the next great dynasty
By David DuPree, USA TODAY
Get used to it, NBA fans. The Los Angeles Lakers are here
to stay for a while.
Taking into consideration the ages of their key players,
the contract situations, the league's salary cap rules and competition from
other teams, there is no reason to think that barring the unforeseeable, the
Lakers won't be favored to win at least the next four league championships.
That's when Kobe Bryant's contract will expire. Shaquille
O'Neal is signed through the 2005-06 season, Derek Fisher through 2005-06 and
Rick Fox through 2004-05.
"With Shaq (29) and Kobe (22) at the age they are, I'd
say this team could win eight, nine more times," said forward Horace Grant,
who was on the Chicago Bulls' first three title teams before ending up with
the Lakers this season.
If Bryant and O'Neal stay with the Lakers beyond their
current contracts, say eight seasons from now, O'Neal would be 37, not old for
a center, and Bryant would be 30, still in his prime.
Role players can be found to fill the other spots, and
with all of the salary-cap exceptions available and the lure of playing with
Bryant and O'Neal, the Lakers shouldn't have difficulty attracting the talent
they need to stay on top.
Fisher and Fox, the two most important role players, are
26 and 31, respectively. They combined to make 17-of-34 three-point shots in
the Finals. And Fisher's value showed in other, less tangible ways. He missed
much of the regular season with a fractured foot, but after his return, the
Lakers were 30-6.
The only Lakers whose contracts are expiring are Grant,
Ron Harper, Tyronn Lue, Mike Penberthy and J.R. Rider.
"We've been looking ahead to next year for about a month
now," said general manager Mitch Kupchak. "You walk a fine line of emotion when
you win a championship as far as what you do and what you don't do in the offseason.
We have a couple of tough decisions, but my guess is the group you see right
now will be back next year."
Continuity is key to dynasty
Dynasties are rare in pro sports now because free agency
and salary caps encourage player movement.
The Boston Celtics are the only true dynasty the NBA has
had; they won eight consecutive titles from 1959 to 1966. They lost in 1967,
then won in 1968 and 1969. No other team has won more than three in a row
the Bulls were the last team to win three consecutive, in 1996, 1997 and 1998.
They conceivably could have won eight in a row if Michael Jordan had not left
the sport. They won three in a row before he retired after the 1992-93 season,
missed two while he was out, then won three more in a row after he returned.
Continuity of personnel is the biggest key to a dynasty.
Jordan, Scottie Pippen and coach Phil Jackson were together for all six of the
Bulls' titles. Jordan was 28 when he won his first, the same age as O'Neal when
he won his first last season, and Pippen was 26, five years older than Bryant
when Bryant won his first.
When the Celtics won eight in a row, three key players
Bill Russell, K.C. Jones and Sam Jones were together the entire
time, and Tom Heinsohn was on seven of them.
No I in team
It's still a team game. Five team statistics that told
the difference between the Lakers and 76ers in the NBA Finals:
The Lakers also have another huge advantage over other
teams the triangle offense. They are the only NBA team that uses it.
It is an offense that uses passes and cuts to keep all five players involved.
They don't have to call set plays because the shots come out of the system's
Also, zone defenses will be allowed next season and the
way to beat a zone is to move the ball. Since the triangle is based on movement,
the Lakers won't have to make many adjustments when they face zones. Teams that
use a lot of isolation plays for one or two men will have to change.
Fox proved more adept at running the triangle than Glen
Rice, his predecessor at small forward, and he is a better defender. Fox scored
about the same number of points in the playoffs this season as Rice did last
season, but Fox had more rebounds, assists and steals.
Lakers run down history
The Los Angeles Lakers completed the best playoff run
in NBA history. The top playoff records:
Still, the key Lakers are O'Neal and Bryant. They had their
differences during the season, but worked them out, and by the last month were
as much in synch as any two players could be.
"Everything is great right now," Bryant said. "But next
year when people see us talking aggressively, it's not going to be a thing of
the past. Someone is going to blow it out of proportion until we win another
championship and then it's going to happen again. It's a cycle."
O'Neal, who dominated the NBA Finals with averages of 33
points, 15.8 rebounds, 3.4 blocked shots and 4.8 assists, isn't content with
two titles.
"I'm greedy, I'm not done," he said.
O'Neal enjoyed his first title well into this season and
wasn't in the greatest shape much of the campaign. When he did get in shape,
he was by far the league's best player. He won't get that far out of shape this
"I'll take a week off, start working out and try to get
another (title) next year," he said. "The first championship was just to get
the monkey off my back. The ones I get from now on will just be to try to stamp
my name in history."
Competition, anyone?
Where is the Lakers' competition going to come from next
In the West, San Antonio, Portland and Sacramento should
be the strongest again. But Portland is old and has to make changes. Sacramento
is young, doesn't have the muscle and could lose Chris Webber. San Antonio might
lose David Robinson, and it couldn't avoid getting swept by the Lakers this
season even with him.
In the East, Philadelphia will be good again, assuming
they re-sign Dikembe Mutombo and coach Larry Brown returns. Rookie point guard
Speedy Claxton was out all season, and he will help next season, as will Roshown
McLeod, who came from Atlanta in the trade for Mutombo. Milwaukee will be much
better, especially if it can find an inside presence. But the team to watch
next season could be Orlando. Grant Hill will be back from his ankle injury,
and he and Tracy McGrady will give the Magic the league's best perimeter duo
two 6-8 players who can do everything on offense and guard anyone on
defense. All they need is a big man. Webber, Toronto's Antonio Davis or perhaps
Robinson could be possibilities.
Regardless, everyone will be chasing the Lakers.
Jackson is in the midst of one of the greatest coaching
runs in NBA history. He has won eight titles in 11 seasons with two teams. Only
Red Auerbach won more, coaching the Celtics to nine titles in his 20 seasons,
and his teams had to win only seven playoff games for one of those titles, eight
playoff games for seven of them and 11 for the other one. All of Jackson's title
teams had to win 15 playoff games.
Jackson also has benefited from a great staff. Tex Winter,
the originator of the triangle offense, has been with Jackson for all of his
titles; Jim Cleamons was on Jackson's staff for the first four Bulls titles
and both Lakers titles; and Frank Hamblen has been on his staff for the last
two titles with the Bulls and both titles with the Lakers.
"You know, it's incredible to be in this position as a
coach," Jackson said. "But everything revolves around a team and revolves around
the staff that I've assembled. I've been in the right spot, and I've been fortunate
to have players that put me in this position."

Optimal Logarithmic Utility And Optimal Portfolios For An Insider In A Stochastic Volatility Market
We combine methods for portfolio optimization in incomplete markets which are due to Karatzas et al. [6] with methods proposed by Nualart based on Malliavin Calculus to model insider trading within a stochastic volatility model. We compute the optimal portfolio within a certain set of insider strategies for a general stochastic volatility model but also apply the methods to explicit examples. We further discuss how the Heston model fits into this context.

Case Conclusion Date: 02.26.1992
Practice Area: Criminal defense
Outcome: Guilty verdict
Description: Defendant was a police officer who was accused of having abused prostitutes while was on duty. This was a verteran cop who had a perfectly clean record who, it appears, engaged in sexual conduct with prostitues while he was supposed to be protecting the public. The jury convicted the defendant and he was disgraced and of course lost his job. But the case was important because it showed that the local district attorney and the investigating officers, some of them friends of the defendant, had conducted themselves in an admirable manner and the system is shown to have worked.

|USA TODAY Online salutes collegiate student-athletes who are making positive differences by overcoming obstacles, aiding society and challenging stereotypes on and off campus.
Coach Jan Hutchinson on Martin: "Michelle is a mature, responsible and caring young woman."
Michelle Martin
Bloomsburg University
Michelle Martin will be teaching high school students next year, but her opponents are already learning her unforgettable lessons. Like how to become the 1996 Division II Field Hockey Player of the Year. Or how to co-captain a team to the national championship title.
Martin, a midfielder for Bloomsburg (Pa.) University, has twice been named a first team All-American. She holds the school record for season assists with 18 and has been a three-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection. The Huskies have had a 75-8-3 (.890) record under her leadership.
Martin, of New Holland, Pa., carrries a 3.37 GPA in her secondary education major. She has been a member of the education honors program and selected for the Dean's List. She has also earned Bloomsburg University and PSAC scholar-athlete awards. Martin plans to put her experience to use teaching high school students public speaking and literature.
When away from the classroom and the field, Martin volunteers for a local church and the Water Street Rescue Mission in Lancaster, Pa., serving food to the homeless. She also coaches at junior field hockey camps for elementary school youths.
"I think determination is the key to success," says Martin. "I set goals in my mind for any activity I do, and determination helps me reach those goals."
It is no surprise Martin has been so successful. Her coach, Jan Hutchinson, has a 19-year record of 329-49-20 (.852) with six national champion teams and six players of the year. In addition, she is 633-134 in softball, the winningest Division II coach in that sport ever.
"Michelle is a mature, responsible, caring young woman who has been and will continue to be an excellent ambassador for Bloomsburg University," said Hutchinson. "She has an extremely positive personality and is a natural leader, which makes people around her comfortable and brings out the best in them."

On this week of the Queen's jubilee, it's appropriate to look back into English history to the dark days of Henry VIII and the sad fate of his queen Anne Boleyn.
Anna Bolena (Anne Boleyn) is an opera in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti. It premiered on 26 December 1830 at the Teatro Carcano, Milan.
The duet "Sul suo capo aggravi un Dio" between Anna and Jane Seymour is considered one of the finest in the entire operatic repertoire.
It is one of a number of operas by Donizetti which deal with the Tudor period in English history, including Roberto Devereux (the lover of Queen Elizabeth I of England), Maria Stuarda (Mary, Queen of Scots) and Il castello di Kenilworth. The lead female characters of the operas Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Roberto Devereux are often referred to as the "Three Donizetti Queens."
After its opening performances in Italy in 1830, Anna Bolena was first given in London at the King's Theatre in July 1831 and its first US performance was given in New Orleans at the Theatre d'Orleans in November 1839. In 1957, the opera was revived at La Scala for Maria Callas in a production directed by Luchino Visconti, and it proved to be one of her greatest triumphs. It was also one of the last new roles performed by Dame Joan Sutherland in a concert performance at Avery Fisher Hall.
The drama begins at Windsor Castle in the Queen's apartments. Courtiers whisper that the queen is falling out of favour and the kings wondering eye has fallen upon Jane Seymour. The king enters and he tells Jane that she soon will have his heart and thrown.
On Tears this week we feature a 1988 Decca recording starring Joan Sutherland, Samuel Ramey and Jerry Hadley. Richard Bonynge conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Welsh National Opera.

"We all respect Erik," says one of his most senior colleagues. "He is one of the thinkers of the movement."
The movement is that of the nation's housing associations. Between them they provide homes for around a million of Britain's poorest citizens. This is an important element in housing for the poor, now that local authorities are forbidden from adding to their stock of four million council houses as tenants exercise their right to buy and join the nation's 13 million owner-occupiers.
Recently, however, the housing associations have split into two camps under the cumulative impact of seven years of Tory housing policy. The accusation is that by using cut-throat tactics and undermining standards, a new breed of entrepreneurial association managers is driving out the idealists.
Mr Pearse is one such idealist. At the end of last month, he resigned from his post as chief executive of one of Birmingham's leading housing associations, defeated and disillusioned.
The political significance of all this goes beyond housing. For the changes forced upon Pearse and his fellows over the past seven years offer a paradigm of government plans to switch more services away from statutory bodies and on to the shoulders of the voluntary sector. More importantly, it exposes the policy dilemmas at the heart of some of Britain's most fundamental problems: unemployment, family breakdown, benefits overload and a growing poverty trap.
The principle of providing subsidised accommodation to the needy goes back via the estates created by Victorian philanthropists such as George Peabody to the almshouses of the 13th century. But the great burgeoning came in the 1960s, in the period of social revulsion against the Rachmanite excesses of private landlords. Dozens of charitable housing associations sprang up.
Their original aim was to refurbish run-down inner-city houses at a time when local councils were obsessed with building tower blocks. As tenants, they took on the elderly, young singles and others who were not covered by the local authority duty to house families. Conservative and Labour governments alike injected substantial public funding.
Everything changed in 1988, with the Housing Act. Secure status for tenants was abolished. Council-house dwellers were given the right to buy their homes, and local authorities lost the right to build replacements. Housing associations were told to look to the private sector for much of their finance. They were told that the Housing Corporation, the government funding agency, would give out cash only to those who could match it with private funds.
"Before 1988, we were really no more than agents for the Government, which absorbed all of the risk involved in building," says Des Oxley, chief executive of the non-charitable Bradford & Northern housing association, which has embraced the changes with enthusiasm. "Now it's possible for a housing association to go bust. It has put an end to the more extravagant commissioning procedures. It has introduced competition, and brought better value for money."
In the early years, the evidence seemed conclusive: more houses were built - around 50,000 a year - and private finance injected some £6bn.
But then the politicians started to cut the cash subsidy. It has continued to fall - from £2.4bn in 1993-94 to £1.2bn in the coming year. At the outset, 95p grant was paid for every £1 needed. By 1990, the figure was reduced to 75p; it was down to 62p last year, 58p this year, and looks set to fall to 52p. And those are averages. Many current projects receive only 45p or even 35p in grant; the balance has to be raised from the private sector. And as the subsidy element is reduced, private lenders are increasingly saying there isn't enough security for their loans.
The overall effect is that, instead of the 50,000 new homes which were being built by housing associations every year (against a demand for 100,000), there are now only 30,000. And the 20,000 target for next year is the lowest for any year since the Second World War.
The process has had other devastating consequences, says Richard Best of the Joseph Rowntree Trust. Rents are up. The size and standard of housing is down. Reserves are being irresponsibly eaten away. Bills are being stored up for the future. "But so long as associations are making competitive bids," says Mr Best, "they win the funds, because the Government is always tempted to get the most homes for the smallest amount of money."
Confirmation of that came only last week from John Gummer, Secretary of State for the Environment, who warned the annual jamboree of the Housing Corporation against the idea that low rents should be their chief objective. "Low rents mean more subsidy, and therefore fewer homes," he said. To those like Mr Pearse, the very agenda of that conference was revealing of the new priorities of the movement. The sessions on the private owner and private finance were near the top. Only towards the end came the question: "How can we raise the profile of housing issues morally and politically?"
Ministers would probably dismiss Erik Pearse's opposition as ideological. But doubts are spreading to those who approved of the initial reforms. "They had quite a good idea to start with," says Mr Best. "It drew a lot of new money into housing. But then they pushed it too far."
"We were too taken in by the growth and the opportunities," says Helen Cope, chief executive of one of the larger associations, the East London. "We made it work so well that we soon found ourselves saddled with a regime where we find it difficult to make ends meet. And yet the Government won't listen to our reservations about the grant ratio and the fall in standards."
That fall is significant. A survey by Valerie Karn, professor of housing studies at Manchester University, has charted how houses have been getting smaller - in two-thirds of new houses, the family does not even have room to sit down and eat together.
The irony is that, despite the fact that subsidy is now fixed at an unrealistic percentage of the total cost, there are still more bids for Housing Corporation cash than there are funds available. "The Government then claims that grant levels must be realistic because people continue to bid for them," says Ms Cope. And because the Government lays down no minimum specifications on size, materials, energy insulation, maintenance costs, or general standards, the way to compete is to lower standards still further.
It is always a mistake to subordinate the quality of housing to quantity, Nick Raynsford, the Labour housing spokesman, told the Housing Corporation conference last week. "There is almost always a serious long-term cost. The failure to put baths in council houses in the 1930s, and central heating in the 1960s and early 1970s ... simply led to a requirement to modernise those homes far sooner than would otherwise have been necessary."
The Government's approach has had other side-effects. The rehabilitation of inner-city properties - which is costly because sites often need expensive preparatory work - is being gradually abandoned in favour of the construction of homes on greenfield sites, which is cheaper, and where are costs are more predictable.
It would be easy to dismiss all this as a backwater of policy in one of the lesser departments of state. There is far more to it than that. The issues it raises go to the heart of a problem that will continue to confront European politicians into the next century: can we still afford a welfare state if we are to compete in a global marketplace?
There is a fundamental mismatch in our economy between what people earn and the true cost of the housing they need. In the West, there are many who do not earn enough to cover the real cost of their homes. And the phenomenon will only increase as our market-driven society continues to widen the gap between rich and poor. The difficult question for policymakers is how to minimise subsidy to the growing poor.
The answer of the present Government - still in thrall to Thatcherite ideology on individual choice - has been to entrust its subsidy to people, rather than bricks and mortar; as was done by building council houses and housing association homes under the old system. As a result, rents have been forced up nearer market levels, and to offset the impact, the poor have been given increasing amounts in housing benefit. It rose from £8bn last year to £11bn this.
This highlights another of the great current policy dilemmas: the poverty trap. "People are caught in an abominable situation, because housing and other benefits are reduced in line with their increased earnings," says Mr Pearse. Anyone earning between £100 and £200 a week is affected, removing the incentive for the employed to work overtime or for the unemployed to seek a job. "For every £1 they earn, they lose 97p from their benefits. It is like the equivalent of 97 per cent income tax."
Combine that with the government policy to promote low-cost ownership schemes, and a new phenomenon can be observed: the building of ghettoes of what ministers are fond of calling the underclass. The government policy of giving tenants inducements of between £9,000 and £15,000 to move out and buy their own homes means, says Mr Pearse, "that the people with jobs move out. The estate gradually becomes 100 per cent unemployed people on housing benefit. The place deteriorates. Vandalism, violence and neighbour disputes increase and the scheme needs more intensive management."
The obvious solution involves a U-turn on subsidy strategy. A bricks- and-mortar subsidy, according to the National Federation of Housing Associations, is cheaper than a revenue subsidy, if it is costed over a period longer than 14 years - not that governments think over periods that long. To revert to subsidising buildings would increase the national housing stock, lessen the poverty trap, create jobs in the building industry, revitalise the inner cities and cut the amount that goes via housing benefit to private landlords, who do not generally plough it back into housing. Only the ideology of paramount individual choice argues otherwise.
Were that shift to happen, it would be too late for Mr Pearse, who has now joined the ranks of the unemployed whose cause he has so ardently championed. His old association has now advertised for a replacement. The successful candidate, the job description demands, will possess "the ability to manage change in a challenging and uncertain world". He or she will need all the skills they can muster.Reuse content

Eversheds is shutting down its Bristol office, its second closure in less than five months.
The closure of the 10-partner office is due to be finalised by 1 May, the beginning of the firm's financial year, and will leave it without a presence in the South of England.
All the staff at the Bristol office, which totals 61 people including 25 fee-earners, have been offered a chance to relocate to Cardiff.
In September last year the firm closed its Middlesbrough office, moving its three partners and 29 staff to the larger Newcastle base (The Lawyer, 18 September).
Managing partner David Ansbro estimates that the closure will save the firm "hundreds of thousands of pounds", since lawyers are currently dispersed throughout five locations in Cardiff and Bristol.
He says: "We're not looking at cutting cost in an emotional way, we're bringing them down to drive up profits. This is a big business and it's a shame for the people in Bristol who work there, but this shows where we can gain value from, and if that means we have to reduce costs, then so be it."
The first indication of change at the offices came last week, when the management at the Cardiff and Bristol offices underwent a shakeup (The Lawyer, 29 January).
Regional managing partner David Vokes was replaced by insurance litigation partner Bryan Hughes, who will oversee the region with senior partner Alan Meredith. The closure is part of a wider business review to ensure that the firm is a more integrated practice. The Bristol office is a result of a merger with niche firm Holts Philips in 1994.
Three weeks ago it was revealed that Eversheds was intending to cut 10 per cent of its partners out of equity (The Lawyer, 15 January).
Three years ago, Eversheds attempted to merge its Bristol office with local firm Veale Wasbrough, but talks collapsed after two months (The Lawyer, 25 January 1999).
Eversheds' move to consolidate its position in the Cardiff market arrives just two months after Bristol firm Bevan Ashford revealed that it was scaling back its Welsh presence (The Lawyer, 18 December).
While Ansbro would not reveal the Bristol clients, he said they had been consulted and were happy about the relocation to Cardiff.
