Astronaut Greg Chamitoff, Expedition 18 flight engineer, wears a communication system headset while looking through a window in the Kibo laboratory of the International Space Station.
Embry-Riddle’s Prescott campus will host a live-in-flight education downlink with the Expedition 18 astronauts living on the International Space Station (ISS) in a special teleconfence to be held on campus Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2009.
The downlink scheduled between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. MST will be a live question-and-answer session connecting select students from the Prescott tri-city area with the ISS astronauts.
To prepare for this event local teachers and students are participation in NASA education activities and developing space-themed questions and experiments being performed by the crew while they live, work and play in space.
Embry-Riddle is one of only a handful of institutions chosen to host NASA’s education downlink this year, with the University’s NASA Education Resource Center (ERC) sponsoring the event.
ERC coordinator Stacy DeVeau is working with area teachers and agencies to encourage student participation as one element of ERC’s mission to encourage students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). ERC plays a central role in NASA’s education strategy to attract and retain students in STEM disciplines.
The teleconference will be the highlight of the activities scheduled for the day. In addition to the live presentation on campus, the downlink will air live on NASA Television and will be streamed on the NASA website at www.nasa.gov/ntv. Various members of the campus, the community, and former astronauts are being invited to participate. Due to the nature of the mission work taking place on the ISS, the time of the downlink may change. The news media will be alerted to such changes as quickly as possible.
For more information on the downlink, contact Stacy DeVeau, Embry-Riddle NASA Education Resource Center, at (928) 777- 6281

Great blog post. The media will never pick up on this because it is more complicated than a soundbite.
If I may add that with the number of outstanding loans that are scheduled to reset in the next couple of years, decreasing home values and stricter lending guidelines, the rate of foreclosures are on track to peak in 2010. Short sales have become a growing niche for Real Estate Agents to sell homes before they become bank owned.

1/3 on the market are foreclosed or short sales – wow. It’s nice that you research this information. The agents who represent home sellers prob don’t share that info with buyers. Take care.
Dear Patrick,
Great article! I agree with you. I also would like to add couple more alternatives to those homeowners who want to stay in their homes.
There are two products those aren’t widely knowing and common in the market place. Trsutee Foreclosure Delays and Loan Re-Write.
Did you know that Homeowners are illegally being foreclosed on especially in Trustee States?
In Judicial Foreclosure states, a judge reviews the legality of the foreclosure proceedings to ensure the homeowner is being protected against greedy lenders and yet still the lenders are not properly following the foreclosure laws correctly (see this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/31/nyregion/31judge.html?_r=2).
In Trustee States, lenders employ a “third party” trustee company to replace the legal function of a judge and orchestrate the foreclosure process. If banks are not legally foreclosing when they know a judge reviews the case what do you think they are doing when they only have to go through a trustee that they pay? And what is more interesting, the trustee company is liable for the foreclosure proceedings but who is going after the trustee companies to review the legality of these foreclosure packages? You guess it! Yes, No one is..!
Did you know that a loan Re-Write program has the ability to reduce homeowner’s current loan balance down to the current market value at prime + 3%?
Here is an example: You owe $500K on your home but it is only worth $350k. Investors will bulk purchase the note from your current lender and re-write it back to you at $350k, saving you (the homeowner) over $150k!
I hope this helps!
