These States Are Turning To Rent Control: How It Affects Affordable Housing
With Meghna Chakrabarti
With about half of American renters spending more than 30% of their incomes on housing, advocates in cities and states across the country are building efforts to revive rent control policies.
In February, Oregon became the first state to impose a statewide rent control policy. And lawmakers in New York, Washington and California have proposed bills they say will protect tenants and allow low-income individuals to find reliable housing.
But why now? Is rent control is the best approach to lessen displacement and create affordable housing for all?
Christopher Palmer, professor of finance at the MIT Sloan School of Management ( @MITSloan). Author of the study “ Housing Market Spillovers: Evidence from the End of Rent Control in Cambridge, Massachusetts.”
The Cases For And Against Rent Control
“Economists are still united that rent control has a lot of side effects, and it clearly has benefits, as well, for the people that are protected by rent control laws,” Palmer said. “And I think that’s why it keeps coming back. We have an affordability crisis and there is a deserving set of people that are renters and they’re struggling.”
“There are these benefits from having affordable housing units for low-income tenants. My research shows that you can think of rent control and affordable housing policies more broadly as providing insurance … if the loss of a job, for example, leads one to also lose one’s house,” Van Nieuwerburgh said. “I think as long as needy households are the ones who are ultimately the beneficiaries of this insurance … there can be large benefits from provisions of this insurance [that are] large enough to outweigh these costs.”
Palmer: “Rent control does a good job at helping current residents stay in their home, but it arguably backfires at making affordable housing more accessible. That is the pernicious effect of the fact that if you’re going to cap rents, it’s going to reduce incentives for people to supply housing. That might not be new housing — modern laws try to keep full incentives for supplying new housing — but people are more likely to convert to condos or to occupy their own unit. So we have a lot of leakage from the system. Rents end up rising for everybody else. It becomes harder to find a rent controlled apartment — everyone is staying there for a long time — and it makes the problem worse.”
Does Rent Control Benefit Those Who Need It Most? Not Always.
Palmer: “Often, the landlords we’re talking to feel very squeezed. And I’ve talked to landlords that say, ‘The tenants that I’m renting to make much more than I do and I’m subsidizing them while I’m being squeezed with costs rising for me.’ ”
Van Nieuwerburgh: “[Rent control] creates, in my view, a lot of housing misallocation, where the wrong type of tenants ends up in a lot of these affordable housing units. Maybe they were low-income when they first qualified for these units, but then over time, because they’re aging, their incomes go up and they make actually quite a lot of money, yet they’re allowed to stay in these units. So I think this housing misallocation problem is also an important feature.”
How Do U.S. Cities And States Value Housing Stability, And What Are Its Benefits?
Van Nieuwerburgh: “This boils down to, as a society, where do we want to fit on that tradeoff between efficiency and redistribution equality? All of economics comes back to, where on the spectrum do you want your society to be? The fact that a lot of Democrats have returned to rent control, in a lot of different places, has kind of tilted that balance towards more redistribution, more equality, and I think this is a good thing.”
Palmer: “People will look at the data and say, ‘Where are the promised rent decreases now that we’ve had a little bit of an increase in supply?’ … I don’t think what we mean — and we need to do a better job communicating this — is that an increase in supply is going to lead to outright decreases in rent. The idea is that the problem will be even worse if we don’t continue to build. And so I think that’s one of the pressures that we see in areas where foreign money is coming in, or areas where there are other pressures on price, and homeownership becomes unattainable.”
Van Nieuwerburgh: “There’s something to be said for having socioeconomic diversity at the neighborhood level. I think part of what is driving this push for more affordable housing is this idea that cities like New York City are losing 50,000, 100,000 rent-stabilized housing units pretty much every year for four decades now, and it’s affecting the ability of having economic diversity in every part of the city.”
What’s Happened In Oregon?
“Here in Oregon, we saw tenants who had been longtime tenants suddenly displaced with just a 30-, or 60-, or a 90-day notice, even though they had been paying their rent on time for years, following the contract and being great neighbors,” Fagan said of life before the state’s new rent control laws. “After a first year of tenancy here in Oregon, we’ve now banned the practice of no-cause evictions. The landlord will actually have to have a legitimate cause in order to kick someone out of their home. And then, second, we have [added] a rent stability feature to our new law, which provides that during a tenancy, a landlord cannot raise the rent by more than 7% plus inflation. So roughly 10% per year.”
Unaffordable Rent As A Statewide Issue
“Oregon has the highest rate of homeless kids per capita of any state in the country. And Multnomah County, which is that big county that really encompasses Portland [the most populous city in Oregon], and the Portland metro area, is not even in the top 50% of Oregon counties facing homeless students,” Fagan said. “And we know that rent-driven homelessness is really the leading cause of homelessness here in Oregon. And so it really is a statewide problem, and it needed a statewide solution.”
Balancing Rent Control With An Increase In Affordable Housing Stock
“We want to make sure that we’re not disincentivizing development, because we are about 150,000 units short, statewide, right now in Oregon. And so we need to be building units, and we’re taking a ‘yes, and’ approach, not an ‘either, or’ approach,” Fagan said. “We have some other legislation that hopefully you’ll be hearing about soon, where we are considering statewide banning of single family zoning in Oregon, and making sure that we can allow duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes on any property that otherwise meets city sighting and design requirements.”
From The Reading List
Washington Post: “ Opinion: The one issue every economist can agree is bad: Rent control” — “There aren’t that many things you can get economists to agree on. Fiscal stimulus, minimum wages, monetary policy, health care, bank regulation — on almost all the major issues of the day, you can find a respected economist to argue for either side.
“But there are a few questions where there’s near unanimity, and rent control is one of them. Pretty much every economist agrees that rent controls are bad. And in the last decades of the 20th century, economists had some success persuading state and local governments to curb these policies.
“Now the policy appears to be making a comeback. Two rent-control bills have cleared the housing committee in California’s state legislature, and New York state looks like it’s about to stiffen New York City’s rent-stabilization regime and offer other cities the option to copy it. City governments may have to relearn why their predecessors pruned back rent-control policies.
“Rent control is supposed to protect poor, deserving tenants from the depredations of greedy landlords. And it does, up to a point. Research on rent control shows that many of the beneficiaries are low-income, and that controlling their rents makes it more likely that they’ll stay in their apartments for a good long time.
“The problem is that rent control doesn’t do anything about the reason that rents are rising, which is that there are more people who want to live in desirable areas than there are homes for them to live in. Housing follows the same basic laws of economics as other goods that consumers need: When the demand for a product consistently exceeds the supply, prices will rise until the quantity demanded is equal to the amount that suppliers have available.”
New York Times: “ Why Rent Control Is a Lightning Rod” — “A supply of housing sufficient to meet urban needs in California will not be built for decades, if ever, and right now building doesn’t seem to be helping much. Many of the newer rental buildings carry high-end prices, while stock of affordable housing is actually falling.
“Given that, rent control is an easy and off-the-shelf policy tool that many people are familiar with — one that does help some renters and doesn’t appear to cost taxpayers money. ‘It is the best anti-displacement tool around,’ said Stephen Barton, co-author of a recent report that called rent control a key measure toward stabilizing California’s housing market.
“And yet economists from both the right and the left are in almost universal agreement that rent control makes housing problems worse in the long run. Here’s what’s behind their thinking and the nuances of the debate.”
Bloomberg: “ New York Adopts Sweeping Tenant Protections on Rents, Evictions” — “New Yorkers won historic rental protections from the Democrat-controlled state legislature over the objections of landlords who warned the changes would make it impossible to maintain their properties.
“The massive rewrite of rent rules — covering about 2.4 million residents of the city’s 1 million regulated apartments — aims to preserve affordable housing by eliminating most of the tools that landlords used to remove units from regulation. The package also abolishes a ‘vacancy bonus’ that allowed property owners to raise rents 20% when a tenant departed.
“Senators passed the bill by a vote to 36 to 26, with the Assembly voting 95 to 41. The legislation is intended to be permanent.
“The vote came shortly before the current laws were set to expire. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the legislation immediately after passage.
“‘At the beginning of this legislative session, I called for the most sweeping, aggressive tenant protections in state history,’ Cuomo said. ‘I’m confident the measure passed today is the strongest possible set of reforms that the Legislature was able to pass and are a major step forward for tenants across New York.’ ”

The Sober Lush: A Hedonist’s Guide to Living a Decadent, Adventurous, Soulful Life – Alcohol Free
In this episode I interview two incredible authors and really cool sober women, Amanda Eyre Ward and Jardine Libaire about their new novel, The Sober Lush: A Hedonist’s Guide to Living a Decadent, Adventurous, Soulful Life – Alcohol Free.
The book is all about the joy to be found in life after you step away from wine as your constant companion.
Jardine and Amanda have called this book “an ode to the technicolor playful side of sobriety” because it evokes the pleasures, feelings of connection and deliverance from the ordinary, that come once you start living life without numbing out.
In our conversation Amanda shares how she was able, through her friendship with Jardine, to get a taste of a sumptuous, beautiful, art-filled life where booze didn’t have a place.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What Amanda and Jardine learned about dismantling your drinking life and rebuilding it so you don’t want booze anymore.
- How you might feel in early sobriety and why you should hold on for the sweet and beautiful life that’s coming your way.
- How to navigate a date night, trip or holiday without alcohol.
- How to have early conversations with your husband or partner about what you’re doing and finding the support you need
- Amanda and Jardine’s favorite ways to live a decadent, sober life.
Amanda Eyre Ward is the author of eight novels, including the New York Times bestseller The Jet Setters, which was also a book club pick by Reese Witherspoon, and it features a character trying to stay sober on a cruise ship. Amanda’s work has been optioned for film and television and published in 15 countries.
Jardine Libaire is a novelist and a screenwriter. Her novels include Here Kitty, Kitty, and White Fur. She also co-wrote a film that was just released called Endings, Beginnings, starring Shailene Woodley, whose character has just given up alcohol. She’s from New York and spent a decade in Austin where she became good friends with Amanda. Jardine now lives in LA.

Moreover, scientists at the Cajal Institute showed promising results in regards to CBD and Multiple Sclerosis. They used animal models and cell cultures to find that CBD reversed inflammatory responses; within only ten days, mice that were used in the study had superior motor skills and showed progression in their condition. To date, there have been well over 20,000 published scientific articles on cannabinoids and their related effects on all sorts of medical ailments.
According to the largest study to date, researchers reported that after treating 162 patients with an extract of 99% cannabidiol (CBD), for a 12 week period. the intervention reduced motor seizures at a rate similar to existing drugs ( a median of 36.5 percent) and 2% of patients became completely seizure free. Other studies have shown that it can act as an anticonvulsant.
If you’re ready to get your CBD on, picking any of these high-quality vape liquids will give you the best possible introduction to this wildly popular substance. The VaporVanity editorial team has verified that these are some of the best CBD vape oils on the market today, so you can rest easy knowing that as long as you choose from this list, any choice you make is certain to be a good one.
This is the second time Moon Mother Hemp Company has placed among the top five brands on our ranking.

SSD products: SATA/SAS SSDs, PCI-E SSDs, Fusion iO, other SSD
Below is a quick survey of SSD either currently available or expected in the near-term.
This looks interesting. Can't wait to see it. Intel Previews Its PCIe 3.0-Based RAID Cards
See the AnandTech Micron P320h PCIe SSD (700GB) Review review for details. Also see the ssd review micron-p320h-hhhl-700gb-pcie-enterprise-ssd-review. The Micron P320h is SLC. The pricing from CDW is about $15K per TB. This is definitely an interesting product.
|Raw Capacity (GB)||512||1024|
|Write Endurance (PB)||25||50|
|Random Read 4K||785K IOPS||785K IOPS|
|Random Write 4K||205K IOPS||205K IOPS|
It is too bad Micron does not have an MLC product. For a transaction processing database, we might isolate a hot table to fit well with SLC pricing. However with MLC prices approaching $5K per TB for enterprise (or just better than consumer) grade products, it is feasible to put the entire database (except for archival tables) on SSD. In this case, the SLC write endurance is not necessary.
Below is the Micron controller, interfacing PCI-E directly to the NAND interface. There are 32 channels on the NAND side. Of course, a SATA SSD can have 8 NAND channels. So 4 SATA SSDs would have 32 NAND channels. The difference is that ONFI 2.0 allows up to 133MB/s and 2.1 allows 166 or 200MB/s per NAND channel, so 8 channels is more than the bandwidth of a single 6Gbps SAS lane (600MB/s net). The real benefit of interfacing directly from PCI-E to NAND is that this avoids the extra bandwidth matching step.
Using the figure below and the 350GB net capacity of the smaller model, the 0.875 factor for RAIN (RAI on NAND instead of disks) implies 400GB capacity prior to RAIN. The 0.78 factor for over-provisioning implies a raw capacity of 512GB. This would imply that the 350GB net capacity is binary, not decimal?
Micron also has a PCI-E SDD in 2.5in HDD form factor at 175 and 350GB.
|Write Endurance (PB)||25||50|
|Random Read 4K||415K IOPS||415K IOPS|
|Random Write 4K||145K IOPS||145K IOPS|
The Intel 910 Series finally came out earlier this year. The 910 uses an LSI PCI-E to SAS controller followed by SAS to NAND controllers.
|Raw Capacity (GB)||768?||1536?|
|Write Endurance (PB)||5-7||10-14|
|Random Read 4K||90K IOPS||180K IOPS|
|Random Write 4K||38K IOPS||75K IOPS|
Some technology enthusiasts like to talk about the theoretical "advantages" of not being encumbered by the extra interface transition through SAS. I would point out that the LSI SAS controller is a very mature server product. Too many product vendors cite impressive performance numbers for their PCI-E SSD on the basis of a single adapter in the system.
In the server environment, performance from a single card is only one of several metrics. It is also critically important that the device have very low overhead. The objective is for the application (the SQL Server database engine in our case) to run with as little disruption as possible. The complete server system will have several PCI-E SSD devices. If the IO performance does not scale over multiple devices, then it is of limited value in servers. LSI has deep experience on server side as LSI SAS controllers are used in almost server systems. They are using the controller of choice for TPC benchmarks with proven ability to scale.
The NAND is 25nm with High Endurance Technology (HET). Write endurance is 2.5PB per 200GB module at 4KB and 3.5PB at 8KB write IO. This is 30X over the consumer SSDs?
Read and write latency is quoted as < 65us. The 800GB model can support 1500MB/s large block write if higher power is available. The architecture of the 800GB is shown below (from Intel Solid-State Drive 910 Series Product Specification).
The PCI-E bridge chip has an SAS interface on the backend. There are 4 SAS channels to a SAS/NAND ASIC. Each NAND module is 200GB. So the 400GB module has 2 SAS channels? It would seem that the Intel 910 uses half of the x4 SAS at 400GB and a full x4 SAS at 800GB?
There are several sub-brands of the LSI Nytro WarpDrive.
The MegaRAID Application Acceleration Cards has NAND flash plus software to cache hard drives on the x4 SAS port. The Application Acceleration Card is the straight PCI-E SSD. There are 200 and 400GB SLC and 400, 800 and 1600GB MLC versions. LSI also has Nytro XD Application Acceleration Storage Solution, a software product for caching SAN or direct-attach storage on SSD.
|Raw Capacity (GB)||?||?|
|Write Endurance (PB)||?||?|
|Random Read 4K||238K IOPS||218K IOPS|
|Random Write 4K||133K IOPS||75K IOPS|
|Random Read 8K||189K IOPS||183K IOPS|
|Random Write 8K||137K IOPS||118K IOPS|
I think the LSI came out in 2011, but I was not paying attention. The SLP-300 is rated at 1,400MB/s read, 1,200MB/s write for 64K sequential. 4K random is 150K read and 190K write. Interface is x8 PCI-E gen 2. Latency is < 50usec.
OCZ PCI-E SSDs moved OCZ PCI-E SSDs
Anandtech details the Micron P320h PCIe SLC SSD with 350 & 700GB capacities. Specifications are 3GB/s read, 2GB/s write, 750K read & 298K write IOPS (140K for 350GB and 200K for 700GB models?). The IOPS numbers vary by source, so it is probably a complicated matter that is not being documented fully. Endurance is 25 & 50 petabytes respectively.
A feature of the P320h is Redundant Array of Independent NAND (RAIN). I believe this to be the correct evolutionary shift from HDD RAID, as the SSD is not fundamentally a single device, but rather multiple devices. So the right place for redundancy is inside the SSD. Computerworld reports RAIN is implemented as 7 channels of data plus 1 channel for parity. Read and Write latency is 50 μsec.
The table below is from the Micron p320 datasheet. I am not sure how the numbers work out. I am thinking there are currently SLC NAND 8-Gbit chips in production. It is possible to put 4 or 8 chips in one package. Then 8 chips of 8Gbit each is 64Gb or 8GB (so presumably NAND density is at the package level?). It would seem reasonable that an enterprise class SSD be over-provisioned, plus ECC and RAIN, so 64 x 8GB (= 512GB) packages in a 320GB product. Then the 700GB part would have to be 128 x 8GB or 64 x 16GB?
|Capacity||NAND Process||NAND Density||Package Count||Die per Package|
The Micron website says the P320h is sampling as of June 2011 with production in Q3. Computerworld reports that Micron intends to price around $16 per GB or $16K per TB. There is no mention of an MLC product.
Various websites, AnandTech etc, discuss specifications for the upcoming Intel 710 and 720 series SSD, but the Intel website does not mention these on their SSD products page yet. The 720 is PCIe 2.0 SLC product with 2.2GB/s read, 1.8GB/s write, 180K IOPS read, 56K IOPS write.
The HP specification sheet for their PCIe IO Accelerators also provides information on the Fusion-IO driver memory usage.
The amount of free RAM required by the driver depends on the size of the blocks used when writing to the drive. The smaller the blocks, the more RAM required. Here are the guidelines for each 80GB of storage:
Block Size (bytes)
Give credit to the HP technical people really know what key information that should be documented is. This is too important to leave to the simpletons in !@#$%^&*. (IBM also puts out great Redbooks, give credit to IBM for spending money on important material, not just marketing rubbish).

Allstate Corporation (The) Common Stock (NYSE: ALL)
According to the law firm press release, Allstate is the largest publicly traded personal lines insurance company in the United States. Personal lines insurance includes homeowner, renter, motorcycle and auto insurance.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding the Company's business and prospects, including that the reason for the sudden spike in its auto claims frequency, which defendants claimed was due to external events beyond the Company's control, including the weather and increased miles driven, was actually the result of Allstate's growth in its auto policy business through higher risk drivers. As a result of defendants' false statements and/or omissions, Allstate stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $72.58 per share, and certain of the Company's insiders, including its CEO, were able to sell their Allstate shares at artificially inflated prices.
Then on August 3, 2015, after the market closed, Allstate announced disappointing second quarter 2015 financial results, reporting a third consecutive quarter of increased auto claims frequency, a 57% decline in operating income, and operating earnings per share that were $0.34 below analysts' consensus estimate. Following the earnings release, the Company's CEO stated that the lower quarterly profit was "driven by a deterioration in auto insurance margins" and explained that "[a]uto insurance margins decreased as higher claim frequency and severity more than offset average auto insurance price increases." As a result of these revelations, the price of Allstate stock fell $7.04 per share to close at $62.34 per share on August 4, 2015.

A story that teaches young readers how to deal with trauma and coping with all the resultant issues – the pain of recovery, lowered self-esteem, and relationships is waiting within the pages of Belle and Chloe: Reflections in the Mirror.
Belle and Chloe are twins and also best friends. They play together, go to school together, and even have matching dogs, Muffin and Waffles. Both girls also love helping their mother make dinner, and that’s where our story begins....
One night, while Belle was helping her mother cook dinner, she reached for the hot pot of soup that was on the stove. The stove tipped forward, and the hot soup spilled all over Belle. The heat from the hot soup caused Belle to cry out in pain. Her mother acted swiftly, calling 911 and wrapping her daughter in a sheet. Belle was rushed to the hospital, where she was assessed and found to have third-degree burns over the upper parts of her body. Belle’s parents were told that their daughter would need to stay at the hospital for a few months and would also need numerous surgeries.
Eventually, Belle was able to come home from the hospital. She had gone through countless painful treatments, but the transition back to home life wasn’t easy. Belle needed lots of help from her mother, which made Chloe feel forgotten; Belle was afraid to be alone, she didn't want to go to the bathroom by herself, and she was even hesitant to leave her room; and then there were the nightmares...would they ever stop?
The author of Belle and Chloe: Reflections in the Mirror, Dr. Isabela Sardas, is a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience treating psychiatric disorders in youngsters. Her expertise shines through on the pages of this story where the reader sees Belle struggle with the various issues she must deal with - not just as her painful burns are treated, but also after she has returned home. Beyond the pain of the burns, Belle doesn’t want to look at her burns when the bandages are removed, and later, she’s convinced that her scars make her different. These are all real issues that both children and their parents may struggle with and they are discussed in a sensitive way so that readers will better understand what they may face. Through the author's expertise in presenting a relatable story, children who may be struggling with issues surrounding trauma will see themselves in the struggles of Belle and understand that they are not alone. In the story, Belle and her family go to a therapist and through their experience, we can see that it's not a scary thing but rather a very helpful activity to help begin the process of healing. These and so many other things are discussed in Belle and Chloe: Reflections in the Mirror, and it's definitely a book you should consider if a child you know is dealing with similar issues.
Quill says: Belle and Chloe: Reflections in the Mirror is a sensitive, caring story to help both children and their caregivers work through the many challenges that come with trauma. It is an excellent book to read together and is highly recommended to help children work through the many issues they face after a serious injury.

Noopept (Omberacetam) is a synthetic nootropic compound that is known for its cognitive-enhancing effects. It belongs to the racetam family of compounds and was developed in Russia in the 1990s.
Noopept has gained popularity as a brain-boosting supplement due to its ability to improve cognitive function, memory, and focus. It works by promoting the production of various neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and acetylcholine, which play critical roles in learning and memory processes.
Research suggests that Noopept may have neuroprotective properties and can help protect brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and neurotoxicity. It may also increase blood flow to the brain, enhancing nutrient delivery and oxygenation.
Furthermore, Noopept has been found to possess anxiolytic properties, meaning it may help reduce anxiety and promote a relaxed state of mind without inducing sedation. It is believed that these anxiolytic effects are mediated through its interaction with the GABAergic system.
The exact mechanisms of action for Noopept are still being studied, but it is thought to modulate AMPA receptors in the brain as well as increase BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels, which supports neuronal growth and plasticity.
In terms of dosage, typical recommendations range from 10 mg to 30 mg per day, divided into two or three doses. However, it is important to start with a low dosage and gradually increase if needed while monitoring for any potential side effects.
While many users report positive experiences with Noopept, it’s essential to note that individual responses may vary. Some common side effects include headaches, irritability, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues. If you experience any adverse effects or have underlying medical conditions, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
It’s worth mentioning that Noopept is considered a potent nootropic and should be used responsibly. It’s highly recommended to adhere to the recommended dosage guidelines and cycle its use to prevent tolerance build-up.
In summary, Noopept (Omberacetam) is a synthetic nootropic compound known for its cognitive-enhancing effects. It may improve memory, focus, and promote brain health by increasing neurotransmitter production, protecting against oxidative stress, and supporting neuronal growth. However, as with any supplement, it’s crucial to use it responsibly and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new regimen.

Now Rita’s been completely stripped and things are starting get more interesting…
Before the frame & forks are resprayed I’ve removed the old decals – as reproductions would appear to be unavailable anywhere – scanned them into my laptop and sent them onto my designer Dan Birkbeck. He’s painstakingly created a marvellous reproduction of the originals, which is shown here against a bucolic background as a demo to show Joao, the bike’s owner. This was a tricky job as the “Tubagem Sangal 401” sticker distorted upon removal, and the “Champion Super France” transfer flaked – as shown in the gallery below. Amazing work Dan, I cannot wait to see how these look when printed and fitted to the frame under a layer of lacquer!
The World Champion stripes were easier to source, but I made sure the replacements were as close to the originals as possible, in the correct width and on a silver background.
Meanwhile I’ve begun restoring the bike’s components. I’ve measured the wheel’s original rusty spokes to find the correct replacements in shiny stainless steel and – last but not least – pondered what to do with cloth bar wrap! You may recall this appeared to be white on the unrestored bike, but upon removal this turned out not to be the case. 30+ years of Mediterranean sunshine had faded the original blue, but after a thorough wash and iron it’s looking almost as good as new. New replacement Velox Tressostar is available but restoring and re-using the original, that the owner’s father gripped onto while racing the bike, just seems more fitting.

She enjoyed a long career of seventy years, during which she received many honors. As well as two Emmy Awards and a Tony Award she was also nominated for a Grammy Award and a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in 'Rebecca' in 1940. In 1960 she was created a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) and was often billed as "Dame Judith Anderson" and in June 1991, in the Queen's Birthday Honours, she was named a Companion in the Order of Australia (AC), "in recognition of service to the performing arts".
BiographyShe was born Frances Margaret Anderson in Adelaide, South Australia on February 10, 1897. Her Scottish-born father, James, was a share dealer and prospector. She attended Norwood Morialta High School in Adelaide.
Early YearsHer first ambition, after seeing a performance by Dame Nellie Melba, was to take up an operatic career, but after her first acting experience as a young High School pupil, she decided on a dramatic rather than operatic career. She won several local elocution competitions and was highly successful in her dramatic studies at school. She began performing for amateur theatre companies in Adelaide and Sydney.
The Young ActressShe made her debut professionally with the stage name of Francee Anderson in 1914, when she was just 17,at the Theatre Royal, Sydney, in 'A Royal Divorce' where she came under the wing of the experienced and popular actor, Julius Knight who began her acting education. She appeared alongside him in numerous adaptations including 'The Scarlet Pimpernel', 'The Three Musketeers' and 'Monsieur Beaucaire'. In 1917 she toured New Zealand with his company.
After three years, the ambitious young actress made the decision to move to America rather than England, which, embroiled in the Great War, was difficult to access. She had a letter of introduction to Cecil B de Mille which did not help her when she went to Hollywood to see the great man, who was dismissive of the rather unglamorous figure she presented. Undeterred she switched her attention from Hollywood to Broadway and moved to New York.
BroadwayShe spent a dispiriting initial few months making the rounds of theatrical agents until she finally found work with the Emma Bunting Stock Company at the 14th Street Theatre in 1918. She was a fast learner and her talent began to get noticed. She toured with other stock companies for three years until 1922, when, under the name Frances Anderson, she made her debut on Broadway in 'On the Stairs'. It was the start of a long and illustrious career.
In 1924 she had her first major success on Broadway, playing Elise opposite Louis Calhern in 'Cobra' and it was at this time that she changed her stage name to Judith Anderson. Her star was rising and she firmly established herself as a genuine talent with 'The Dove' in 1925 which played for over 100 performances. During the course of the next few years she became well known as a highly talented and dependable performer and in 1927 she toured her native Australia with three plays, 'Tea for Three', 'The Green Hat' and 'Cobra'.
Judith continued to establish herself as a formidable talent and by the early 1930's was seen as a genuine star of Broadway. In 1931 she was the Unknown Woman in 'As You Desire Me' which was filmed the following year with Greta Garbo in Judith's role. But Hollywood had taken note of Judith's talent and in 1933 she made her movie debut in a supporting role in the pre-code drama 'Blood Money' directed by Rowland Brown.
For the remainder of the 1930's she concentrated on her theater work and she built a reputation a one of the greatest stage actresses of the time. In 1932 she appeared in 'Mourning Becomes Electra' and in 1936 she played Gertrude to John Gielguid's Hamlet in New York. Her London debut followed in 1937 as Lady Macbeth at the Old Vic opposite Laurence Olivier.
She was becoming a specialist at interpreting the great classical works and from 1942-43, she played Olga in Chekhov's 'Three Sisters', in a production which also featured Katharine Cornell, Ruth Gordon, and a young Kirk Douglas in his Broadway debut.
Other notable stage works included, in 1947, the title role in Euripides's 'Medea', a memorable performance for which she received a Tony award in 1948. She later appeared in the supporting character of the nurse in the 1983 TV version of 'Medea'. In 1953, she appeared in Stephen Vincent Benét's 'John Brown's Body', directed by Charles Laughton and in 1960 she returned to the old Vic to play Madame Arkadina in Chekhov's 'The Seagull'.
HollywoodDuring this memorable period of stage successes she returned to Hollywood and made several noteworthy films, the first of which has become her best known performance, as Mrs Danvers in 'Rebecca', for which she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar (losing out to Jane Darwell, for 'The Grapes of Wrath'). Her portrayal of the malevolent and sexually ambiguous Mrs Danvers is brilliant, and is widely considered to be one of the screen's most memorable female villains.
Several movies with top directors followed during the 1940's including 'Kings Row' in 1942, Otto Preminger's 'Laura' in 1944 with Gene Tierney, 'And Then There Were None' the following year, and 'Specter of the Rose', Jean Renoir's 'The Diary of a Chambermaid' and 'The Strange Love of Martha Ivers', all in 1946.
From the 1950's onwards her movie appearances were less frequent but equally powerful. After two Biblical roles in 'Salome' in 1953 and 'The Ten Commandments' in 1956, she changed tack completely to play to perfection the supporting role of Big Mama, the loyal wife of Burl Ives in 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' in 1958.
She played the Sioux squaw Buffalo Cow Head in the Western adventure 'A Man Called Horse' in 1970 and the Vulcan Princess in 'Star Trek lll' in 1982 (at the age of 86). Away from Hollywood she appeared in the Australian film 'Inn of the Damned' directed by Terry Bourke in 1973.
TelevisionJudith started a completely new career in television in the 1950's and became a regular performer on Hallmark Hall of Fame productions. She also re-created her classical successes firstly as Medea in 1959 and then two separate productions of 'Macbeth' in 1954 and 1960, winning the Emmy Award for both performances as Lady Macbeth. From 1984 to 1987 she played matriarch Minx Lockridge on the NBC serial 'Santa Barbara'.
PersonalJudith was married firstly to English professor, Benjamin Harrison Lehmann for two years from 1937, and secondly to theatrical producer, Luther Greene, from 1946-51. Neither marriage produced children and she said that neither was a "jolly holiday". She was subject to speculation about her sexuality throughout her career.
Judith Anderson died of pneumonia on January 3, 1992, in Santa Barbara, California. She was aged 93.

New York (Knewz) — The fight over migrant transports has been heating up as thousands of people have been relocated from the south to northern cities.
It’s now a political football with accusations of criminal activity and “welcome to our world” statements.
The center of the football has been thousands of immigrants who came to the U.S. only to find themselves moved across the states. The latest incident involved a plane of immigrants funded by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis being sent to wealthy Martha’s Vineyard in recent days.
Migrant transports started in April by Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott. He sent buses from Texas to Washington D.C. He did it to highlight issues at the border and to blast Democrats. Abbott has accused the White House of not doing enough to address the border crisis. Thousands of migrants have poured into Texas and put a strain on border cities.
According to The Hill, migrants have been sent form Texas, Arizona and Florida to cities such as Washington, Chicago and New York.
Washington has received the most with nearly 9,000 immigrants. At the same time, New York City has seen about 11,000.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said they have considered housing the influx of migrants on cruise ships. Currently, they are being kept in an upscale hotel near Times Square.
"We're examining everything, from the legality of using any type of cruise ship for temporary housing. We're looking at everything to see how do we deal with this," said Adams, according to CBS New York.
Adams admitted the city can’t open shelters fast enough and so far has created 23 emergency facilities to host the migrants.
The recent move to send migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts has become the political talking point. Lawyers for some of the migrants have ripped DeSantis and accused him of criminal human trafficking.
“This cowardly political stunt has placed our clients in peril. Upon arrival, numerous individuals had to be rushed to the hospital, in need of medical care. Some now have immigration hearings as early as Monday thousands of miles away,” Lawyers for Civil Rights said in a statement, according to The Guardian.
Florida and Texas officials have pledged to continue to send migrant transports to other cities as politicians continue to debate the issue.
In the middle of the debate remains groups of actual people.


More news today out of the Food and Drug Administration — so while I’m still writing my follow-up to last week’s news on growth promoters, I want to toss this up first. The latest: The FDA has announced that it is formally reconsidering “antibacterial” soaps and other personal-care products, charging that the antibacterial ingredients confer no benefit over regular soap and water while carrying extra risks.
In a draft rule that will be published Tuesday in the Federal Register, the agency calls for manufacturers of consumer antibacterial products to begin providing data that shows the ingredients are both safe for daily use, and also more effective than plain soap and water. Deep in the 137-page rule, it also raises the issue that’s most interesting to me: whether the routine use of these products causes bacteria to develop resistance against the active ingredients, and against antibiotics as an unintended side effect.
Antibacterial products are a vast market; according to the FDA there are more than 2,000 currently for sale to consumers.

The season of rain is here after a period of break but not without some trouble for road users especially in Lagos State where the roads are fraught with pot-holes and slippery in some areas.
Since the rain resurfaced again after the August break, it has brought a whole lot of problems to road users as some of the roads are rendered impassable due to over flooding that serialize the roads.
Worse still, some of the roads abandoned half way by road construction companies have become nightmare as they are narrowed by the machines and other equipment of the construction firms thereby posing more troubles than can be imagined.
For instance, during one of the heavy downpours last week, some workers had to turn back home at the Apapa/ Oshodi Expressway as some vehicles were stuck on the road thereby blocking others from passing likewise other adjoining roads were muddy and slippery.
But one wonders what the government at both the state and federal levels were doing before the roads deteriorated to such state.
However, the economic wastage encountered as a result of the traffic jam or outright blockage of the roads cannot be quantified as one cannot count the number of people affected by the rainfall and the quantity of business transactions engaged in.
Moreover, some workers are hardly seen in the office early enough because of difficulty in getting public transport and even private car owners do find it difficult too as the roads are flooded. For this reason, some people prefer to stay back home rather than sleeping off inside the car or wasting their time away on the road.
The roads in state of disrepair translate to reduction in the revenue of the government thereby forming a clog in the wheel of national development.
It is advisable that the government takes pragmatic step to curtail further damage to the road as well as to alleviate the plight of the masses that bear the whole burden of the ugly development.


It is co-sponsored by Hillary Clinton. The bill prohibits the use of funds for military operations against Iran; it would ensure that President Bush gets congressional authorization before attacking Iran.
A recent poll showed that only some 30% of Americans would support the use of force against Iran. This is a no-brainer. Dick Cheney should not have the power to drag this nation into another war.

On mobile phone patrol with Lancashire's motorway police
It's 8am on Sunday and while the roads may be quiet Lancashire's dedicated traffic cops are ready for a busy morning.
In the Samlesbury drizzle they go through a final briefing.Their target is drivers flouting the law by continuing to use their mobile phones while behind the wheel.Since March 1, tough new penalties have been in place in a bid to clamp down on the potentially deadly practice.But despite a barrage of publicity it seems for some drivers the idea of a Â£200 fine and six points on a licence is not enough of a deterrent.Since Wednesday, police have been pounding the motorways and A roads determined to drive the message home.This operation was just the latest in a series, designed to show police are serious about the tough new powers available to the courts.PCs Martin Shaw and Matt Burn are experienced traffic officers who know only too well the potential consequences of driving while distracted.PC Shaw was on patrol in Preston at the weekend when he stopped two HGV drivers on the phone while at the wheel.He said: “They might just be ringing ahead to let the depot know they are on the way, they might be taking a call about an extra delivery.“But it doesn’t matter.“They shouldn’t be on their phones and that is the end of it.”And it wasn’t just work PC Shaw found was getting in the way.He said: “One driver was in the middle of a WhatsApp conversation when we stopped him.“He insisted he wasn’t on the phone but when he opened it up there was a half typed message.”From the perspective of the casual observer it might seem a simple task to catch drivers on their phones.But having hit the road with PCs Shaw and Burn in an unmarked car, it soon becomes apparent how intense and frustrating a task it can be.There are classic signs - a weaving car, a fluctuating speed, a hand to the ear.But, as a short trip down the M55 proves, first impressions can be very different from reality.The police tactic is a simple one.Driving at speed they pull alongside a suspect vehicle, the observer in the passenger seat, armed with a body camera, poised to grab crucial evidence.But things aren’t always as they seem.One driver suspected of making a call is scratching behind an ear, another is eating.Another, on closer inspection, is smoking a cigarette.“He might get fined by the council for smoking in his works van,” says PC Burn, “But he isn’t for us.”On a quiet motorway there is no sign of any driver taking the risk of calling from the wheel.So the traffic cops change their tactic, hitting the A-roads in Blackpool.And it isn’t long before they spot another suspected caller.On Preston New Road a Mini passes, heading in the opposite direction, the driver clearly holding a bright pink device.The officers are quick to respond, using the power of the high performance patrol car to full advantage they are soon heading in the opposite direction and catching up with their target.Pulling alongside at traffic lights the officers realise they have been mistaken, what looked initially to be a glitzy mobile phone was actually an electronic cigarette.“It isn’t easy,” admits PC Shaw.“People sometimes when they see you put the phone down.“They might not even be making a call.”But the officers are not just out to target those driving on their phones.In driving rain a BMW races past on the approach to Charnock Richard services.The speedometer goes past 100 in the rush to catch up and the driver is soon being spoken to at the roadside. Contrite, honest and ashamed he is sent on his way with a likely three points and fine.And on the return trip to Blackpool, the crew are again forced to abandon their mobile phone brief.A smart looking Mercedes triggers an Automatic Number Plate Recognition alert.The driver, oblivious to the unmarked police car in his rear view mirror, hits more than 100 on the M6, powering through Broughton interchange and reaching 110 on the Blackpool-bound carriageway of the M55.When it’s safe PC Burn switches on the blue lights, bringing both cars to a halt on the hard shoulder.The young driver of the Mercedes is obviously shaken as he is brought to sit in the back of the patrol car, confessing straight away to maxing out at more than 100mph.With no proof of insurance a recovery truck is called to collect his car.And as he waits, talk turns to the mobile phone patrol.It seems the message is starting to get through –but not quickly enough.No drivers were stopped on Sunday but yesterday morning in Blackpool was a different matter entirely when six motorists were stopped in the space of a couple of hours.PC Shaw said: “We have to keep up that message, we have to remain clear it won’t be accepted.”
A nation of phone addicts
There is more temptation than ever for drivers to check their mobile at the wheel.The modern smartphone is packed with apps, many of which can prove a distraction to drivers.PC Shaw said: “Phones now aren’t just messages and calls.“People are addicted to their phones“They might be on WhatsApp or Snapchat or Facebook.“In a way that’s worse because their eyes are completely off the road.“If you’re looking down at a message at 70 miles per hour, how far are you going to travel in those few seconds?”
Police know some drivers are more likely than others to give in to temptation and turn on their phone at the wheel.And despite their tech-savvy it seems younger drivers are more likely to be pulled over for a mobile phone offence.PC Shaw said: “We find it’s more people aged between 20 and 40.“You don’t see it so much with older drivers, but that’s maybe because they don’t use their phones so much.“Some people have Bluetooth in their cars but don’t know how to use it.“The most sensible thing is to not use your phone at all, put it somewhere you’re not going to be tempted.”

A north London council has launched a crackdown on “beds in sheds” as the problem moves from central London to the suburbs.
Harrow council has attacked “unscrupulous” landlords who rent out outbuildings and extensions, which are often in breach of planning law, to multiple tenants, many of whom are poor foreign workers.
Susan Hall, leader of Harrow council, said: “Beds in sheds is a creeping problem which is rippling further out from central London to areas like Harrow. We will hit unscrupulous landlords hard.”
In a recent raid council officers found a house with an illegal extension and stand-alone building capable of housing 12 people, potentially netting the landlord a rental income of about £4,000 a month.
The landlord will be interviewed in relation to planning, housing and revenues breaches and a demolition notice will be served on the building in the garden.

Barry Boosts Downtown Tax District
By Stephen C. Fehr
D.C. Mayor Marion Barry promised yesterday to speed up the creation of a downtown business tax district so private security patrols and street cleaners could be on 120 downtown blocks by the Dec. 2 opening of the MCI Center.
As Barry called the city's first business improvement district "an important element . . . for the economic revitalization of our city," business leaders from Georgetown and the U Street sections of Northwest Washington predicted that they would have their own business districts with security and cleaning teams by the end of next year.
In a business improvement district, property owners agree to tax themselves to pay for services the city can't afford. Or, as Barry put it yesterday, it is "a way for property owners and businesses to assist our government."
At a media briefing, Barry formally accepted the petitions creating the downtown business district, which is bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, Interstate 395, Constitution Avenue and 16th Street. The mayor has 45 days to register the district, but he said he'd do it before then so tax bills with the added levy could go out in early September.
Barry said a public hearing on the downtown district is set for 6:30 p.m. Aug. 18 in Room 200 of One Judiciary Square, 441 Fourth St. NW.
Over the next five years, the downtown district is planning to spend about $7.7 million a year to spruce up the heart of the commercial district.
Security guards will give directions to tourists, stop aggressive panhandling and call in crimes to police. The cleaners will remove graffiti, pick up trash and paint light poles, benches and trash cans.
Yesterday, cleaners from Baltimore's district sprayed graffiti remover called "Goof Off" on the spray-painted windows of the old Lerner store at 1111 F St. NW to show how it's done, and Barry got behind the wheel of a sidewalk cleaning machine borrowed from downtown Bethesda's business district.
Patty Brosmer, executive director of the Georgetown Business Association, said the tax district there could begin as soon as spring. It would cover a 35-square-block area bounded by Rock Creek, the Potomac River, Key Bridge and R Street NW. Its budget would be about $1 million a year, raised from a property tax of 15 cents for each $100 of assessed value.
Karen Snyder, a spokeswoman for the group organized to petition for the Georgetown business district, said: "Property owners currently are paying $2.15 per $100 of assessed value to the District government, which isn't providing the services we need. So for 15 cents more, we're going to get a clean, safe and accessible Georgetown."
A spokeswoman for the group petitioning for a U Street business district, Delores Johnson, said it had budgeted $125,000 a year for cleaning, security, trash cans and closed-circuit television monitoring on U Street between Seventh and 16th streets NW. The property tax for that area hasn't been set.
Although property owners there received letters in March spelling out details of the business district, they have been slow to respond. Under legislation the D.C. Council approved last year, a district needs support from the owners both of 25 percent of the individual commercial properties and of properties representing 51 percent of the total assessed value within a district.
