The House yesterday passed legislation that would allow bankruptcy judges to modify the terms of troubled home mortgages, overcoming fierce opposition from the financial industry.
The bill, a package of housing-related initiatives, passed 234 to 191, largely along party lines. It now heads to the Senate, where it will face a tougher fight but has the backing of some powerful members.
Under the legislation, bankruptcy judges could cut the principal on a homeowner's mortgage as well as reduce the interest rate and extend the terms -- provisions known as cramdowns.
"I wish we had done this a year and a half ago," said Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.), who had sponsored a version of the bill. "If we had, we would be much further along in getting a handle on the foreclosure crisis."
The housing package is a key part of President Obama's $75 billion foreclosure prevention plan, launched Wednesday, that includes initiatives to pay lenders to make troubled mortgages more affordable. The legislation also makes changes to Hope for Homeowners, a government program to refinance distressed loans that so far has failed to gain traction.
The measure was opposed by banks, which have argued for years that it would drive up their losses and that homeowners would flood bankruptcy courts looking for relief. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the change would increase bankruptcy filings by about 350,000 in the next 10 years.
This year, the measure also faced opposition from moderate Democrats who forced concessions that require, among other things, a homeowner to share with the lender any profit from the eventual sale of the home if a judge lowers the principal balance. The compromise version also gives preference to reducing a homeowner's interest rate over cutting the principal balance.
"We are pleased that the House moved to limit the harm this bill will do to consumers, and we want to work with the Senate to further contain the damage," David G. Kittle, chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association, an industry group, said in a statement.
The administration has called the cramdown provision the stick that lenders will face if they do not do enough to help troubled homeowners. Credit Suisse has estimated that the change could cut foreclosures by 20 percent.
Under current bankruptcy law, a judge can modify mortgage terms for second homes but not for primary residences. In those cases, bankruptcy could delay a foreclosure but not stop it.
"It is only fair that we offer average families the same alternative to foreclosure that has been available under the law for many years to owners of vacation homes, investment properties, private jets and luxury yachts," said House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), who helped push the legislation through the House. While "some mortgage lenders will not get every penny now owed to them on the mortgage paper they hold, on balance they are going to get a lot more than if these families have no other choice than to fall into foreclosure."
Sharan Powers and her husband tried to use the bankruptcy process to save their Fairfax home last year. The couple fell behind on their payments after her husband's salary dropped because of declining demand for the copiers and fax machines he sells.
Their lender agreed to modify their loan, but the payments increased by $200 a month and they soon fell behind again, Powers said. The lender encouraged them to sell their home, Powers said, but prices had fallen and the home was worth at least $50,000 less than the $600,000 mortgage.
Powers said she and her husband eventually filed for bankruptcy protection. "The whole goal of bankruptcy was to rid ourselves of the credit card debt so we could qualify to keep our house," she said.
By the time they emerged from bankruptcy protection late last year, $45,000 in late fees and missed payments had built up on their mortgage, Powers said. "The old payments accumulated so much we no longer qualified" for a modification, she said.
The legislation comes as evidence of the country's foreclosure crisis is growing, with more than 11 percent of home mortgages now in some form of distress, according to a survey released yesterday by the Mortgage Bankers Association. About 7.9 percent of mortgage loans were delinquent during fourth quarter, compared with 5.8 percent a year earlier. An additional 3.3 percent were in the foreclosure process, up from 2 percent a year ago. Both figures set records. The association began keeping records in 1972.
Increasingly, homeowners are becoming delinquent after losing a job rather than because they are struggling with a risky loan, the Mortgage Bankers Association and analysts said. Falling home prices are exacerbating the problem, they said.
At the current pace, nearly 2,900 families are losing their homes each day, according to a report scheduled to be released today by the congressional oversight panel established to oversee the Troubled Assets Relief Program. "Loan modification efforts to date have been insufficient to halt the downward spiral in housing," the report said.
The report concluded that bankruptcy modification alone would not solve the foreclosure crisis but could change the balance in negotiations that distressed homeowners have with their lenders. "A homeowner who could credibly threaten to file for bankruptcy might find that servicers were more responsive and that lenders were more willing to make modifications available," the report said.

A young woman sits down in a chair. Only her mouth is visible as she begins to speak at a rapid clip, describing events that she insists did not really happen to her.

Enjoyed this video survey of people's listening habits, in part because my brand new iPod has made me think about my dissipated listening habits and more curious about how others fill their audio time. But also, the video captures an interesting mix of people and musical types, and it's hard not to see it as a reflection of how fractured and complex the space of musical possibilities has become, when one might recognize only a small percentage of what was being enjoyed by folks walking on the street next to you.

Never Give Up – Time to Dream Big
The starter home my husband and I purchased many moons ago in the midwest needed a lot of upgrades. The carpet in the living room was threadbare, the kitchen was very small and you could only enter through the utility or living rooms. A garage was turned into a type of recreation room, however, the wall between the kitchen and rec room remained.
Well, not for long!
My hubby looked at me one day and said, "Would you be ok if I knocked that wall down?" I said, "Sure, it'll help with the flow from room to room." And voila! We placed a sheet over the doorway to the living room and he knocked down that wall.
Lo and behold…all of the electricals for the house ran through a large pipe and that presented a real challenge, indeed. Now, the wires would have to be rerouted, a breaker box installed, new ceiling, flooring, etc. Whew! All with very little money.
When I relayed this information to my Mom over the phone one day, she made a comment that stopped me in my tracks. She said, "You'll never finish that project." I said, "Oh, just watch. I'll never give up."
It was a defining moment for me, really.
I knew in time we would finish all of it…we would get there. And we did. When we had the money, we installed a floor – just the two of us. For the first time in my life, I held a paint roller and painted the kitchen while my hubby was away on a business trip. My husband called his grandfather in New Jersey (who had built his own home in Neptune, New Jersey) and asked for advice regarding the electrical upgrade and how to do it. Yep, he did it. Everything was completed and it took 4 years. Four years of scraping money together to buy the floor, paint, the conduit pipe for the wiring and more.
So, what is it that holds you back?
Are your family or friends telling you it can never be done?
Have you convinced yourself that you'll never see that dream come true?
God gives each of us gifts to use to bless others. What is it that you're good at? It's time to explore!
Today's the day to move that one foot forward toward the goal. Just one baby step at a time.

Italy's navy, the Regia Marina was the fourth-largest naval force in the world at the outbreak of World War II, and yet is often overlooked and largely discounted as ineffective. In general the fleet was made up of obsolete vessels, lacked radar functionality, and had a reputation for indiscipline and poorly trained crews. The complex and bureaucratic command system imposed on the fleet further hampered its effectiveness. In this book, Mark Stille details why the Italian battleships were able to maintain a solid reputation, examining their impressive designs and the courage and determination of the fleet at Calabria, Sirte, Cape Spartiveto and Cape Matapan, all illustrated with stunning photographs from the Italian Navy's own archives.

Francis With Multiple Disabilities Seeks Grant For Wheelchair Accessible Van
by Francis Childress
(Beaverdam, Virginia, USA)
I am 71 years old. I am seeking financial assistance to purchase a wheelchair accessible side entrance van.
Both of our daughters are grown and have homes of their own. We have four grandchildren, two boys and two girls.
I was in the all-volunteer Virginia Defense Force. This military unit acts as a peacekeeping unit when the National Guard is called to active duty. I mustered out with a honorable discharge.
I was an engineering drafting technician for over ten years after high school.
In 1972 I started work for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia. C&P Telephone Co. became Bell Atlantic in 1984 and later Verizon.
In 1999 I retired from Bell Atlantic and started work for the Virginia Department of Transportation as a Transportation Construction Inspector.
After ten years I retired in 2009. By then I was developing physical issues that hampered my ability to continue work.
Disability Issues
I had my tonsils removed sometime in the 1950s. As a teenager I had my appendix taken in 1961.
While in high school I tried out for the baseball team and tore the meniscus in my right knee. I went for years with this injury until I joined the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. of Virginia.
Climbing poles with gaffs or climbers finished my knee joint off and I had surgery and then physical therapy soon allowed me to return to work.
I transferred back to Richmond in 1978. Other problems I had that were lurking in the background of my well-being began to manifest themselves.
First there was a ruptured disc to deal with which turned into a very painful episode. After surgery I spent time convalescing and recovered enough after about six months to finally return to work.
And then I began having issues with both of my knees and went through a series of arthroscopic procedures.
I was again taken aback because of pain in my left shoulder. More arthroscopic procedures were ordered. Several bone spurs were removed.
More physical therapy followed this procedure.
In 1989 I began having a debilitating case of vertigo, nausea, fainting and the loss of my ability to walk or stand.
A series of tests found I had an anomaly on my brain stem (medulla), or an AV Malformation Infarction as better known in the medical profession.
Infarction means dead tissue. This infarction was putting pressure on my brain stem thus causing the symptoms described above.
After surgery I could barely walk. I discovered I could shuffle along if I held onto the handrails in the hospital hall. I would then sidestep until I regained my coordination. I was out of work for about seven months.
In 2010 I had cataracts removed from both eyes. I returned to work very soon after this surgery.
During a visit to my cardiologists he told me I needed a new aortic valve in my heart. This of course could be remedied with the surgical procedure of placing an aortic prosthesis in my heart.
The doctor asked me if I wanted a cow valve or a mechanical valve. A mechanical valve would last indefinitely.
A mechanical valve would require I take Coumadin the rest of my life. Coumadin would keep my blood thin and help prevent blood clots and prevent a possible stroke.
I did not respond very well after heart valve surgery. It was found I had fluid built up on my heart.
To relieve it, they used a Pericardial Drain, which meant collapsing my left lung and running a tube between my rib cage and the collapsed lung. This tube was inserted in a window that was cut in the pericardium that envelops the heart.
I was told later about one liter of fluid was drained off in this manner.
One day after being back home for a while after the two heart surgeries I went to visit a neighbor. When I turned to leave I walked down the sidewalk and missed a drop-off and stumbled.
On my way down I extended my right arm to break my fall and came crashing down on the concrete sidewalk and rolled into the grass. When I arrived at home my lower arm was as large as my upper arm. A trip to the emergency room confirmed what I thought.
I had cracked the two arm bones near my right wrist. A cast was applied. This happened after two major heart surgeries.
In 2010 I had both knee joints replaced. I then began suffering from an infection in my right knee. Still another surgery was ordered.
This was to clear up the infection, high fever and combative issues. A wedge spacer was placed in my right knee without benefit a new prosthesis knee joint.
And later a bad infection flared up in my left knee joint. More surgery followed, and a wedge spacer was inserted and again without benefit of a new prosthesis
My ability to walk by now had been greatly compromised. And a second infection in my left knee started up again.
I was no longer encouraged to try and walk while in rehabilitation because I could not walk anymore anyway and the pain was more than I could bear.
The pacemaker placed in my chest after heart valve surgery was removed for fear of bacteria on that and my new heart valve.
I did learn to use and got over the fear of using a board to transfer from the wheelchair to the bed, and from the wheelchair to the toilet, etc.
I am also diabetic and have diabetic pain in my feet and legs. I am constantly bothered by ulcers on my lower legs. I depend on my wife greatly to help change the dressing on my legs.
I cannot stand anymore to transfer from my wheelchair to the seat of my car. I cannot go anywhere because of this dilemma. I roll outside for fresh air and sun weather permitting.
Financial Hardship
My wife and I receive social security and I receive a small pension from the Virginia Retirement System.
Raising a family, paying a mortgage, paying for college tuition and a multitude of other expenditures have always caused a financial issue.
The last five years have been especially ruinous to our budget, mostly because of the knee surgeries, doctors' bills, hospital bills, transportation, medical supplies and the soaring costs of my 14 daily prescriptions.
I have relied on ambulant transportation to meet doctors' appointments. This type of transport is very expensive and I cannot afford to use it anymore.
Income Efforts
I have tried to find work I can do online (at home).
We both draw SSI and I a small pension.
I have been reluctant to ask my church for any amount of money. I have never solicited donations.
I don't ask friends or family for money for obvious reasons.
Grants are what I have endeavored to be successful with.
Specific Needs
The gift of a grant to purchase a wheelchair accessible van would give me my life back and make my wife and me very happy.
We could enjoy the simple things in life again like getting out together and visiting our friends.
We could get back to church on a regular basis or just take a ride out in the countryside.

Keel Laying for P&O Ferries
The keel of a ferry to be built for P&O Ferries was laid at STX Europe, Rauma on 25 August, 2009. The vessel is the first of the two ferries scheduled for delivery from Rauma shipyard in 2010 and 2011.
Following a traditional ceremony, some lucky coins were placed under the keel. The purpose is to bring luck for the vessel and also to symbolize the smooth co-operation of the shipyards and the shipowner. Delegates of P&O Ferries, Lloyds Register and STX Europe were witnessing this ceremony.
When completed, this vessel will be the largest ferry in the English Channel. This means a 49,000 GT vessel with the length of 695.5 ft and having 3,746 lane meters of vehicle space. There will be space for more than 180 freight vehicles and, additionally, for up to 195 tourist vehicles. The vessels will be capable of carrying up to 1,750 passengers.
The ferries will be as environmentally friendly as possible, offering significant advances in fuel efficiency through a hydro-dynamically efficient hull form that will optimize vessel performance with minimum fuel consumption. The latest technologies of the industry will be applied both in design and construction of the vessel. Special attention will be paid to safety aspects and environmental friendliness.

New Hyde Park is a station on the Main Line. It is located at New Hyde Park Road and Second Avenue in New Hyde Park, New York. The station house is near the eastern part of the westbound platform. The station is wheelchair accessible with grade crossings at both ends of the platforms. It is only listed on the Port Jefferson Branch timetable and most service is provided by that branch. However, sporadic trains from the Oyster Bay Branch and Ronkonkoma Branch stop here too (most bypass this station).
The Long Island Rail Road was built through the area in 1837,[3] although no station was built until 1845.[4] It was originally named "Hyde Park" station, and was rebuilt in 1870. Despite Hyde Park changing its name to "New Hyde Park" in March 1871 in order to avoid confusion with another Hyde Park in Dutchess County, the LIRR kept the original name of the station until September 1904. The 1870-built station was located along the eastbound tracks with an open wooden shelter shed along the westbound tracks. This station contained elaborate gingerbread woodwork, similar to that of Yaphank station during the same period.[5] In 1947, the station house was rebuilt again with a smaller and less elaborate brick structure, and relocated along the westbound tracks, with a matching brick open shelter along the eastbound tracks. Sometime during the 1960s, high-level platforms were added to the station, with a white stucco wall between the platforms and station house containing a blue sign with white lettering reading "LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD" on top and "NEW HYDE PARK VILLAGE" on the bottom.[6] This was replaced between 2002 and 2003 with the retro-classic structure seen today.[7]
Platforms and tracks[edit]
This station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long. Two grade crossings bracket the station and another is 1200 feet west of the station. During morning rush hours, Track 2 carries some westbound trains. The westbound platform has the only station house and parking lot. Each platform has staircase going to the South 12th Street grade crossing on their extreme west end and another on their extreme east end going to the New Hyde Park Road grade crossing.
