Don't you just hate it when you're trying to lie your way out of a dinner party and the only way you can get the guy you just stabbed to shut up is by snapping his neck? Nicholas Brody's been there. Brody's bad day, at the center of this week's "Homeland" installment, showed him growing increasingly desperate as he loses control of both halves of his double life. Trying to satisfy his obligations to his family, his political allies and his terrorist bosses, he fails all of them. Carrie is attempting to walk a thin line of her own in Episode 3 of Season 2, between crippling mental illness and idiosyncratic obsession with work.

M.J. "Jay" Brodie, who has headed Baltimore's economic development agency under four mayors and helped shepherd projects such as the Harbor East redevelopment, said Thursday he plans to retire. The Baltimore native and former city housing commissioner is credited with overseeing initiatives to create thousands of jobs and to attract and keep hundreds of businesses in the city during his 16 years as president of the Baltimore Development Corp., the city's quasi-public economic development arm. Brodie, viewed as highly influential in city development, also has drawn criticism from residents and business owners who have complained about being pushed out by urban renewal and about the secrecy under which they say his agency has operated.

For the first time in 16 years, the directors of the Baltimore Development Corp. met Thursday without M.J. "Jay" Brodie at the helm of the city's influential, quasi-public economic development arm. The BDC's acting president, Kimberly A. Clark, who has expressed interest in the open top job, briefed board members on several of the corporation's initiatives: •An expanded special tax zone for Under Armour Inc., a move that would allow the...

Jay Brodie to head the Baltimore Development Corp., the quasi-public agency responsible for retaining and luring city businesses.An architect and planner, Mr. Brodie, 59, served as housing commissioner for then-mayor William Donald Schaefer from 1977-84 and moved on to become executive director of Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corp. (PADC). For the past two years he was a senior vice president with the architectural firm RTKL Associates.

M.J. "Jay" Brodie, the development guru who has led Baltimore Development Corp. for more than a decade, will stay in his position for at least another year, incoming Mayor Sheila Dixon announced yesterday. Brodie, 70, is the latest official to serve under Mayor Martin O'Malley who will continue with Dixon, suggesting that the new mayor is pursuing an economic development agenda that is largely consistent with that of the prior administration. As expected, Dixon also named George A. Nilson, 64, city solicitor.

After 16 years at the helm of the Baltimore Development Corp., the city's influential, quasi-public economic development arm, M.J. "Jay" Brodie will work his last day at the agency on Friday. "What I've told everybody is … that I'm taking a period of refreshment," Brodie said Thursday morning after a meeting of the city's Urban Design and Architecture Review Panel. He said he planned to take at least a month off before committing to new endeavors. Brodie, 75, started at the BDC in 1996 under then-Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke.

When asked 16 years ago to head Baltimore's economic development agency, M.J. "Jay" Brodie really didn't want the job. The 75-year-old Brodie, who will retire from the Baltimore Development Corp. after serving as president under four mayors, is credited with helping to usher in major waterfront redevelopment, strengthen neighborhood commercial districts and attract and retain employers. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Brodie will leave a legacy as a major contributor to the city's continuing renaissance.

Baltimore Development Corp.'s president, M.J. "Jay" Brodie, said Thursday that he is on the mend after an ice skating injury that has kept him sidelined for much of the past two months. Brodie, 73, told directors of the economic development agency that he has been under doctor's orders to rest his right leg after it became inflamed in early April. Brodie, an avid skater, said he noticed pain and swelling in his leg after skating twice in late March. He said that he did not fall or break his leg, and that tests uncovered no fractures or torn muscles.

His soft brown image has graced the cover of National Geographic. He's a perennial on wildlife calendars, the star in several public service spots to promote bear safety and the mascot for a line of hunting apparel. His is the furry face producers and advertisers turn to when they need a teeth-baring, menacing grizzly. But at 15, Brody the bear is approaching middle age and dealing with arthritis, which could sideline his career. A pharmaceutical company in Harford County has developed a nutritional supplement for horses that is helping the 1,400-pound Kodiak bear move painlessly and with more agility, his trainer, Jeff Watson, said.

The Baltimore Development Corp. is seeking proposals for five city-owned properties on the west side of downtown, including the former site of The Peanut Shoppe at Lexington and Liberty streets. The quasi-public development agency has set July 6 as the deadline for "qualified developers" to submit proposals for: 124 N. Liberty St.; and 101, 103, 114 and 116-120 W. Lexington St. BDC President M.J. "Jay" Brodie said some of the buildings are being readvertised, others are being put out for bid for the first time, and all are being offered in "as is" condition.

For well over a century, Baltimore and the Orioles have represented a city and a team that have made inestimable contributions to the rich legends, the storied lore and the enticing lure of baseball. Now, another Baltimore and Orioles ambition is waiting to be fulfilled: the first to be honored with an entire outfield enshrined in the Hall of Fame.It's a scenario that goes back 100 years, to when the "old Orioles," a reference to the players' colorful antics, inventiveness, physical durability and win-at-any-cost approach to the game, dominated what was then the only major league in existence.

Dr. Eugene Bloor Brody, a globally known mental health figure who had been chairman of the department of psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and later was dean for social and behavioral studies, died Saturday of renal failure at his Cross Keys home. He was 88. "Whenever I went to international meetings, whether in Egypt or Europe or elsewhere, people were always coming up to me and asking, 'Do you know Dr. Brody?' His work and his writing made him an international star in psychiatry," said Dr. Steven Sharfstein, a psychiatrist who is president and CEO of the Shepherd Pratt Health System and vice chairman of psychiatry at the University of Maryland medical school.

The city has responded to a January column that chronicled the sufferings of businesses in Crossroads Business Park (formerly Industrial Park). They have lots of problems - crime and vandalism, especially - but the place also was littered with trash and furniture. Baltimore Development Corp.'s M.J. "Jay" Brodie sent me pictures of the cleaned-up spots, which are hugely improved, especially Bernard Drive where it goes under Interstate 95. But Brodie is mistaken in his assertion that the city Department of Public Works also took care of a boat dumped months ago in Crossroads.
