What is the Bankruptcy Mortgage Project?

Bankruptcy_mortgage_project

According to the Bankruptcy Mortgage Project's homepage:

The National Consumer Law Center created the Bankruptcy Mortgage Project as a resource for courts, consumers, trustees, mortgage servicers, attorneys, academics, and others in the bankruptcy community. It organizes and provides access to numerous local rules, forms, general orders, and court opinions addressing a variety of mortgage issues in consumer bankruptcy cases.

The website provides a state-by-state breakdown of available opinions, rules, and policies by Federal Circuit and Bankruptcy District (i.e. Northern District of Illinois, Eastern and Western Divisions, Central District of Illinois, etc.).

The website seems like it ought to be a boon to consumers and bankruptcy lawyers ... but I haven't been able to put it to good use yet. Has anyone else had any luck with it?

Officially Worse than that Great Depression

Homeprice_index_at_lowest_poin

Prices fell from Feb. to Mar. in 18 of the 20 metro areas tracked by the S&P/Case-Shiller index. In a dozen of those cities markets are at their lowest points since the housing crisis started, driven lower by foreclosures, a glut of unsold homes, and the reluctance or inability of many to buy. The index is in its 8th straight month of decline and indicates that prices have now fallen further than they did during the Great Depression. It took 19 years for the housing market to rebound after that.

Google Apps: the Big Reveal

November 20, 2010, by

Hey Microsoft, stick this in your hard drive! Google Apps for Business, already fast gaining ground with both Fortune 500 and SMB customers with its dead simple suite of cloud-driven, maintenance-free business applications, just brought the smack down, introducing over 60 new applications (all Google properties) to every account for the save bargain price of $0/month. Game, set, match.
