			<description><![CDATA[VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(eMediaWorld - Oct. 23, 2008) - For several years, Canadians have suffered from high levels of household debt, low personal savings rates and feelings of stress and anxiety about their finances. But a strong real estate market in B.C. kept many afloat. Homeowners were able to use growing equity in their property to offset their consumer debt. Now this is changing, says the British Columbia Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (BCAIRP).

&quot;Our professional community is seeing more and more individuals who can&#039;t sell their property for what they thought it was worth and who also can&#039;t refinance or borrow more money against their property. They&#039;re stuck,&quot; says Lana Gilbertson, a Vancouver-based Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional (CIRP), and a Director with BCAIRP.

			<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, DC--(eMediaWorld - September 25, 2008) -  New analysis of loan performance of
mortgages made to low-income homeowners who have participated in
homeownership education programs through NeighborWorks organizations shows
a foreclosure start rate that is twenty (20) times less severe than that
for subprime borrowers, and three (3) times better than the prime mortgage
market.

&quot;The facts tell the real story,&quot; said Kenneth D. Wade, CEO of NeighborWorks
America.  &quot;The vast majority of mortgages facilitated by NeighborWorks
organizations are to buyers with low- and moderate-incomes and less than
perfect credit scores, yet by providing quality mortgage advice these
homeowners have been able to sustain homeownership during the most severe
housing crisis since the Great Depression.&quot;

			<description><![CDATA[ENGLEWOOD, CO--(eMediaWorld - September 18, 2008) -  Aithent
Technologies, a CMM Level-5 global software services and consulting
firm, today announced that it has partnered with BusinessGenetics to offer a
unique business requirement auto-generation solution.

Traditional business requirements approaches typically extract
approximately 40% of the business detail necessary to automate a business
area, regardless of SDLC approaches. The remaining 60% of business
knowledge has to be gathered with supplemental techniques/business
interactions, or will result in an inadequate IT solution, and often, very
costly re-work. (The Standish studies have validated this for many years).
