billion State Center redevelopment in Baltimore Citymove forward, despit e lingering concerns about the project’s finances and impact on Maryland’s abilit y to borrow money. The Senate Budget and Taxation Committeedvoted unanimously, but with some to endorse the State Center project, which involves leasinyg 25 acres of land to a privatr development team. The House of Delegates’ Appropriations Committese indicated it will do the same but did not formallgy vote as its Senate counterparts did Thursday The project will now go to the state Boardd of Public Works for a scheduled June 3 The board is ledby Gov.
Martinh O’Malley, who supports the projecyt and worked closely on it while he was mayotrof Baltimore. Matthew Gallagher, the governor’s deputyt chief of staff, lobbied the House and Senatw onthe project. “Ws are at the cusp of a very important Gallagher said. “The governor’s office is very supportiver of this project and has been involvefd dating back to our time atthe city,” Gallagherr told the House during its hearing on the In signing off on the proposal, the Hous and Senate legislators insisted on havingy more oversight in the redevelopment process.
They also conditioned their approval on seeing input fromthe , which is familiafr with such large-scale development A private State Center LLC development team was selected in Marchj 2006 to remake the state office complex off Martin Luthee King Boulevard. As proposed, the developeres would lease the land fromthe state, convert the comple x into a $1.4 billion mixed-use and then lease a substantial portion of the project’z planned 2 million square feet of officde space back to the state for use by its various agencies. For the project to move the Board of Public Works must approve a maste r development agreement setting the terms for StateCentet LLC.
Once that happens, the developers will then design the first phase of the project and come back to the state with specific costs and lease That process would continue through each ofthe development’z four phases, expected to take betweejn 10 and 12 yearsx to complete. The first phase would focu s onthe project’s office space. When fully developed, the project is slated to include 1,200 residentiak rental and for-sale 2 million square feet ofofficw space, 250,000 square feet of retail spacr and 7,000 parking spaces. Groundbreakingg for the project’s first phase could beginm in June 2010.
Theitr efforts failed, but the legislature’s budget committees passed a requirement the project be reviewede by state TreasurerNancy Kopp. The legislatures asked Kopp to look specifically at an accountinvg provision of the projectg to determine ifthe state’s leasing of office space from the developersd should be considered an operating lease or a capital lease. If it were deemex a capital lease, that woulc mean the state would need to list it on its budgetg as an asset anda liability, and those costs woulrd be added to the state’s overall debt affordabilituy limit — its ability to borrow money to financre other capital projects.
In a May 15 Those terms won’t be determined until after the mastee development agreementis approved. But Kopp felt it shoulf be considered a capital and those costs could cause the state to excee d its debt service limitsby 2018.

“Drowning in Debt: The Emerging Student Loan released by an independent education policy think tank calleds theEducation Sector, analyzed 15 years of data through the 2007-2008 academic year. The cost of attending a publif university has doubled over the past two causing previously unseen costs ofhigher education. Family incoms and student financialaid haven’t kept up with the increasinv costs, forcing students to borroa more money for their educatio than ever before. More students are finding those funds in the formof unregulated, private student loans, where they pay the highest interesy rates.

” Some of the reasones for the student loan crisis, the report are “out-of-control tuition increases, lack of commitmenft to need-based financial aid, and states and universities increasingly spending scarce financial aid dollars on wealthy students.” If these trendw continue, people will have less accesw to higher education, they’ll have increasingf rates of catastrophic loan defaults and they will have diminishee life choices, the think tank said. Borrowiny has gone from being the exceptiomn for undergraduatesin 1993, at only 32 percent, to the As of 2008, more than 50 perceng of students at public, four-year universitiese borrowed for their education.
In for-profit the percentage of borrowers rose to 92 percent in 2008 from 53 percentgin 1993. The averages annual debt for borrowersat four-year privatd universities increased by 70 perceng over the study period, while the average debt for studentw at for-profit colleges increased by 57 percent, to $9,600 a Only 5 percent of undergraduates borrowed private loans in 2003-2004. In four years, the percentaged grew to 14 percent.
Betweehn 2004 and 2008, the percentage of African-American studentws who took out privateloans tripled, giving that grouo higher participation levels than white or Hispanic At private, four-year institutions in 2008, the wealthiest studentse received institutional grants of nearlh equal size to those earned by the pooresg students.

“Whatever we are doing in the dental world applies to just aboutg every service that is out Capista said. “Whether it is a restauran or a bank, you still have a customer you need to and you still have to have that internal marketing.” “Internal marketing” is very much at the core of Capista’zs thinking, the idea that a customer still must be sold on your services, even aftee they have come through the door. The way to do that, he is through rigorous systems.
In Capista’as dental office, called Williamsburg Dental in Broomall, this meanzs patients are greeted with a smile and a They are taken to comfy reception areas where coordinators talk with them aboutg their desiresand expectations. This soft sell is exactly the sameeverh time. “I know when I do a presentation therw will be specific things that I want to cover with the If you do it just 10 or 20 timesw itfeels memorized, it feels rehearsed. But if you do it over and often enough, it just becomew your natural behavior,” Capista said. The more you repeag it, the less practiced it sounds. Capistaz likens it to a theatricalk script.
“On the firstg night it sounds memorized, it soundw rehearsed. But if you do it 100 times, then you can just go out on the stag and doit naturally,” he said. Capists stumbled onto the self-help circuit, at first delivering lecturez on marketingto dental-industry From there he moved into presenting at and of Pennsylvania. Since then he has hired publix relations firms to lineup engagements. He has moverd on to address small-businesse groups, Rotary Clubs, chambers of commerce and the , a spiritualp center. James V. Coffey has heard Capistsa speakin Malvern.
As president of the nonprofit Papal he’s been impressed by Capista’s ability to add a spiritual dimension to discussions of personal andprofessional success. “He has a very groundes approach to how to maintain balance in everhy aspectof life, whether it’s business or personal or spiritual. He helps you keep it all keep an eyeon what’ws important,” Coffey said. “If the rest of your life is in it stands to reason that your businese is going to flourishand thrive.” Proofr can be seen in the success of Capista’z own business. With the help of his partnerf dentists, Drs. Joseph Lamb and Robert Spennato, Capistq has evolved his practice.
In addition to fillintg cavities, the partners now do a brisko business in brightening smiles and performinh other procedures aimed at making chompers not just more heartuy but alsomore handsome. “It was partly the technicapl challenge, but also it was partlhy the personal reward. When you see someon e who doesn’t want to smile and they have a poor and then they come back andtell you, ‘Noaw I smile at people I don’t even like,’ that is just Capista said. “The thousands of dollars they pay for it are because all of a sudden they arehappierd people,” he said. That’s a changr from the usual dentist-patient relationship.
“Usuall they don’t want to be there, they don’yt want to do what you ask themto do, and then they have to pay you for As with many small businesses, growth has come with pains.
