Here's what struck me: As of March 2009, every metro area in Case-Shiller's 20-city index, without exception, has fallen double digits from its peak. Ten are down more than 30%. Eight have dropped more than 40%. Las Vegas is down 50%. Phoenix? It doesn't get any worse than Phoenix. According to Case-Shiller, between June 2006 and March 2009 the average house in Phoenix lost a staggering 53% of its value. Possibly during the Great Depression, but almost certainly at no time since then, have house prices in a major metropolitan area fallen by more than half. It's almost unbelievable. Brother, tell me you didn't buy a house during the boom in Phoenix!Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:53:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/11/10/nasa.mars.lander/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/11/10/nasa.mars.lander/index.html#cnnSTCTextA dust storm and the onset of Martian winter have brought the Phoenix Mars Lander's mission to an end, NASA announced Monday.Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:44:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/10/30/mars.lander.doomed/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/10/30/mars.lander.doomed/index.html#cnnSTCTextThe Phoenix Mars Lander has entered a state of suspended operation called "safe mode" due to low power, mission managers said Thursday. And while they hope to recharge batteries and reactivate the spacecraft in the coming days, they say the rapid onset of the Martian winter means Phoenix's days are severely numbered.Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:50:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/08/05/mars.soil/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/08/05/mars.soil/index.html#cnnSTCTextScientists working with NASA's Phoenix Lander are reasonably sure they have detected a toxic chemical in the soil near the north pole of Mars.Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:07:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/08/04/nasa.mars/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/08/04/nasa.mars/index.html#cnnSTCTextNASA's Phoenix lander has discovered a toxic chemical in soil near Mars' north pole, dimming hopes for finding life on the Red Planet, the probe's operators said Monday.Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:01:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/07/31/nasa.mars/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/07/31/nasa.mars/index.html#cnnSTCTextThe Phoenix lander got its robotic arm onto a sample of water ice from Mars' surface and popped the ice into tiny, onboard "ovens" that will help determine if the water could support life, NASA researchers said Thursday.Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:02:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1828422,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1828422,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsThe Phoenix spacecraft has tasted Martian water for the first time.
