The Montgomery College Women's and Gender Studies Program (WGSP) has received the 2014 Community College Award from the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) .
The AAWCC Community College Award is one of the Association's Model Program Awards, "a national award program designed to highlight the accomplishments of colleges, AAWCC members and chapters, individuals, and community partners that support women in professional development, leadership training, career advancement, service activities, mentoring and networking."
The award recognizes a community college for a program or programs that demonstrate a commitment to equity and excellence for women on campus. It was presented at the AAWCC's Annual Awards Breakfast, on Monday, April 7, at the Woodman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. The WGSP was selected for this honor based on its Annual Scholarship Program, which supports and promotes equality and equal access and opportunities for all women and men at Montgomery College.
The Scholarship Program was also selected because it aligns well with the AAWCC's mission and goals to change women's lives through education, service and leadership development.
The Scholarship Program is broad in scope as it reaches out to the entire college both in the raising of monies for scholarships and in the award of the scholarships to students from a variety of disciplines on all three campuses.
Specific fundraising initiatives have included silent auctions, sale of Lucinda Pins, dance performances, and donations at the Annual Scholarship Breakfast. Excerpts from scholarship winners' application essays were selected for use in the event's program, underscoring their leadership in women's, gender-related or other socially conscious program, including this one:
"I believe when women are visible and have their own voice in major institutions, their voices can bridge a gender gap and promote gender equality in every society."
The Women's and Gender Studies Program offers courses about women and gender for both women and men.
The program is designed to explore the experiences and contributions of women to their cultures.
Informed by feminist theory, Women's Studies courses:
These writing-intensive courses help students consider the difference that gender makes in family relationships, friendships, education, and work. They are comfortable settings for delving into feminist scholarship and theory.
In addition to the interdisciplinary introductory course on women's and gender studies, courses in the program include: women's history, literature, sociology, psychology, physical education, and women's health.
Honors modules are available for some classes. Service learning and internship opportunities are frequently offered. Opportunities to pursue independent study projects are also available.

Vacation's Attire Day 1
Coming back to my beachside hometown for a few days was the perfect excuse to bring out some of the more summery alternatives in my wardrobe and throw some layering and accessories into the mix. Enjoying a more casual, relaxed vibe, Figueira da Foz is a prime example of how scorching heat gives place to chilly evenings, meaning everything from cardigans and sports coats up to sweaters is a common alternative for a walk around town. Knowing in advance what I was up for, I packed accordingly, aiming to have several alternatives which allowed me to stay in tune with a vacation feel.
This chambray-like linen popover shirt is one of my favourite summer purchases and proof, that yet again, there are some nice steals at major retailers like Zara. The beautiful shade and details such as the hidden button down collar, front zip closure and biased side pockets, give it a nice twist and versatility; moreover, the quality of the linen used is surprisingly reasonable when compared to other lower-end labels. The unique shade goes perfect with the sand/pinkish tone on the relaxed chinos, which are paired with grey fringed boat shoes. Finally the bold ethnic scarf stands out on its own, but also ties everything together by picking different hues from all the remaining pieces and accessories such as bracelets and signet ring.
Details: linen popover shirt by Zara, v-neck tee by Levi's, cotton chinos by Our Legacy (tailored), fringe boat shoes by Buttero, ethnic scarf by Purificacion Garcia, watch by Daniel Wellington, beaded bracelets by Viola Milano, vintage silver signet ring.
Model and Styling: Miguel Amaral Vieira

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I was recommended to David Tompkins by a friend who also had a great expierience with Mr.Tompkins. I was involved in an auto accident in which my previous attorney was not very forth coming with information. Including the fact that no one in his firm was licensed in the jurisdiction to handle my case. On top of that they tried to force me to settle. When I went to Mr. Tompkins he assured me that my case would be handled properly and he was very up front with all procedures so that I didn't feel blindsided. Overall I had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend David Tompkins for ALL legal matters
David provided great legal representation. If you don't need to know the details and need someone to get the task accomplished, David is your man. If you need someone that communicates regularly, informs you every step of the way, and holds your hand through the process, then David is not your man. I didn't need the latter so, David was perfect for our case. He let us know what we needed to know, when we needed to know it, and achieved the objective we set before him when he took on our case. If you're a smart cookie, you'll hand your case over to the attorney and let him/her do their job. I can assure you that David will do the job and do it well. Hand him your case and wait for the call. You'll be happy that you did.

The Big Beckham Surprise.
Adidas has recently created two similarly cool retail activations in Amsterdam and London, surprising shoppers with guest appearances by popular football players. In both cities, fans were in (positive) shock, making for some entertaining videos.
A photo booth was installed in a shopping mall in East London to allow British fans to have their photos taken, showing their support the team. The surprise: football superstar David Beckham suddenly peeking around the corner of the booth, joining the photo op with the fans.

As best I can tell nobody's quite sure what's happening. Sadr offered a cease-fire, and a government spokesman kinda sorta appeared to accept the terms, but the fighting continues and it remains a bit unclear who's in control of which forces or what this is even about. What seems certain, though, is that Maliki badly miscalculated his ability to crush Sadr and is prepared for some kind of climbdown far short of his initial demands.

The much-needed bypass has been on the planning books for three decades. But it wasn't until this year that former Prince William Board chairman...

If you want a frig for something other than red wine storage, then get over the fact that this one doesn't say Viking or JennAir or whatever and BUY THIS FRIG! Quiet to the point that I thought it wasn't running. Coldest setting is 35F - so soda, beer and wine are cold. Adjustable shelves let you store anything. I bought this frig for the new wet bar in the basement and was convinced that I would have to spend at least $1000. After looking at lots of more expensive models and reading reviews on those that said that they were loud or not cold enough, I was nervous. I hadn't really looked at Avanti products, but I saw this in the store, saw the temp control on the ouside set to 35 and then saw the price and bought it. So far, this has been a great buy - and it's attractive too! I cannot comment on the energy usage yet.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this attrative refrigerator for our bar area. It is quiet and looks great. We are having a problem with condensation forming on the inside and outside of the door. The condensation got so bad that we needed to keep a towel handy to wipe it down. We plan to exchange it for the same model with a stainless door rather than the glass door.

About half the price of the high end models, looks just as nice and works just as well. We weren't sure because we had previously had the high end products, but we just couldn't justify their prices this time. Great value.

We put this fridge in the cut-out of our new bar and love it! We needed something that would keep both beer & wine cold, look sharp and fit into our dimensions. We are very pleased with our purchase.

Should we view wealth hoarding as dysfunctional as any other form of hoarding?
We tend to view those who acquire and accumulate "stuff" endlessly as hoarders who are dysfunctional and requiring health care assistance. Therefore, those whose lives are an endless accumulation of wealth and who use that wealth for little more than acquiring ever more "stuff" and/or endlessly stimulating as many pleasure centers as they can as often as then can seem to fall into that dysfunctional category.
Closing Statement from william clegg
We had quite a lively debate ensued on this topic. The majority of comments suggest that hoarding wealth is, in fact, dysfunctional and many offered insightful ways in which they saw that dysfunction being played out in the real world. They also point out that the harm caused by a wealth hoarder is generally imposed upon their community while for other forms of hoarding it is the hoarder themselves who bears the brunt of that behaviour.
There were a few who were opposed to the hoarding label and who appeared to have no problem with the endless accumulation of wealth, largely because they seem to believe that the wealth was still being invested but offered no validation of this premise. As well that seems to be a rather specious argument if all the investing does is acquire more wealth.
It was pointed out a number of times that hoarding can have very real health issues involved, both psychological and physical. However, whether those health issues are as problematic for the wealth hoarder who has estates with lots of gates, security and staff to hide behind as they are in the poor and middle class who are far more visible is uncertain. Although the number of wealthy celebrities who have overdosed on drugs and/or alcohol abuse may be one indicator.
But the most humorous comments appeared to take real umbrage with the mere suggestion that wealth was being hoarded and even employed old 20th century commie fear mongering to make their - rather dull - point. .
It seems that for the majority of contributors hoarding is hoarding and as such is as dysfunctional as other forms of hoarding but that we all experience the consequences of that dysfunction. .

Oct 24 2013: Enough Already....
There are people who accumulate wealth. The only question if any should be.... was it done legally?
Yes.... OK, did they bury it in a pillow case in their back yard?
No... Then no problem.
Are the people who have no talent for the accumulation of wealth?
Yes.... And these people have difficult times, some to the point of survival. Should these people take guns and rob wealth from those who have wealth?
No... that's illegal and further, it is not nice.
Should government take wealth in the form of taxes and give it to those who have no wealth?
That seems to be the major question of this conversation....
Oct 24 2013: Your statements makes it seem like you believe wealth is obtained through talent. This really isn't a rule. Many people have obtained wealth through very unethical business practices.
We cannot say poor people are poor because they have no talent. I hope that's not what you are trying to imply here.
Oct 24 2013: Mike appears to think that his opinions are the most salient ones. However, there seem to be a lot of others in this forum who believe otherwise. Therefore we have an excellent example of opinion verses discussion and, Henry, thanks to your response and others it seems that opinion is not fairing very well :).
Mike Colera 30+Oct 24 2013: Henry...
Maybe I didn't say it well.... people who obtained wealth by illegal means should be punished. I am appalled that punishment is not metered out. Some say because of political influence or bribery and those political members should also be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Poor People. People are poor for so many reasons. Yes, some have no talent. Some have no education. Some have no opportunities. Some have no resources. Some have no.... There are a thousand reasons that effect someone from gaining wealth.

The script follows the entire life of Lucius Pontius Pilate, the son of a Roman knight and a cunning warrior in his own right. He is assigned to become the "prefect" (a cop or lawman) of Judea, where his arrogance clouds his judgment and causes the public to despise him. This leads to his decision on the fate of Jesus Christ, a man claiming to be the King of the Jews.
Other Biblical luminaries such as John the Baptist, Salome, and Mary Magdalene are featured in this drama, described as, "a Biblical era Twilight Zone episode." Here's what the screenwriter had to say about this story that mixes historical fact with creative elements.
Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad) is producing through his Gran Via Productions company. He is currently searching for a director.

Rated 2.2 out of 5?by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5?by Carla Happy I didn't listener to previous reviews. I've been living here for over a year now and I don't have any complaints. My apartment is very spacious and comfortable. My neighbors are pleasant and quiet. I was a little apprehensive about moving in after reading earlier negative reviews but I have to say I have not experienced any of those problems. My apartment actually gets a little too cool in the summer from the AC so I have to turn it up. They keep their grounds well maintained and the building is always clean. I will recommend them updating the kitchen. Other then that I have had a pleasant experience so far. August 8, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5?by deceptive advertising dont let the luxury fool you the offer of luxury is a deception. you don't get airconditioning. its run by a chiller that constantly breaks down. the condensation from the pipes leads to ceiling and floor damage in your apartment. the thermostats are for looks, they don't go below 72 degees. you DONT control ANYTHING. its all run by someone in an office.same as the heat your heat don't go above 72 and occasionally they shut it down to save energy. the kitchen cabinets and closets have so many layers of paint that they look like they belong in a project some where. the pool is literally falling apart. the lighting is dim through out the building. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. June 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5?by Ahmed Noise Noise Noise the neighborhood is very good, apts. are spacious but the management has no control on the facility. If you got noisy neighbors, you are done. The apartments are good but not luxurious, my neighbors converted their apt to a workshop, and I have to live with that till the school hear ends. do not live here. May 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5?by coleybug not what you really think The apartments are big, but you have big problems with the air conditioners / heat, the ceilings leak, and keep leaking, they cause the ceiling, and the side walls to leak which makes your apt. look terrible. you have watermarks in the living room, and bedroom. then guys will come in to fix that problem, and paint what they repaired, so now you have a two tone color, look aweful, they love to come into your apt. with very limited notice, and so if your not home make sure u leave your top lock unlocked so they may enter while ur not home. if u fail to do so, and something goes wrong your held responsible. Not to mention they will rent to anyone these days, dogs are even allowed. place is going down hill. October 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5?by LittleKC13 Just checked these out, haven't lived there The staff was very nice and helpful and building was large and kept well. The apartments themselves seemed very outdated with appliances/closets etc from the 70s or older... There may have been more updated apartments but would have been way to expensive. It seemed like utilities included would be nice but over all look of apartments and appliances were kind of rickety. March 4, 2013

21st Amendment Bitter American Extra Pale Ale
21st Amendment Brewery, San Francisco, Calif
$8.99/ six-pack cans.
Profile: 21st Amendment's new seasonal taps into two hot craft beer trends — full-flavored, lower alcohol "session" ales and quality canned products. At 4.4 percent alcohol by volume, Bitter American Extra Pale Ale is brewed with Golden Promise Pale and other specialty malts, plus Warrior, Cascade, Simcoe and Centennial hops. Dark gold in color with a frothy head, it displays floral, citrus and bready aromas and a nice balance of hoppy bitterness and malty complexity. The image of Ham the space chimp on the can is a bizarre but clever touch.
Pair with: American pales ales are nearly foolproof food beers and Bitter American is no exception. Throw it up against Latin, Asian or all-American cuisine, from tacos to noodles to burgers, and it will make an easygoing match.

I've had this and I am VERY disappointed this is a seasonal beer. I wish it were year round. I like it better than Fuller's. I can tastebiscuit malts in there as well

At $9 a six pack, I'll take an 8% ABV double IPA instead for the same price. Thanks.

Comments about Offset Base with Roller Guide for Palm Router:
I use this product to trim plastic laminate
The product is lightweight,durable,well built and it looks good
One thing I found at first was that it was difficult to adjust the colette nut because the spacing was too narrow or the wrench was too thick.
I had to loosen the nut on the clamp that held the motor in the sleeving of the offset base...it was too tight!

Burger King Makes Perfume
You -- and your nose -- won't believe this crazy invention.
Your man's fast food habit may gross you out, but even he may be thrown off by this: Burger King is now making perfume.
For a limited time on their website, Burger King is offering a body spray called "Flame" ($3.99). The fragrance is described as having "the scent of seduction" and a "hint of flame-broiled meat." The scent is comparable to that of the Whopper.
We know from past research that men are turned on by the scent of pumpkin pie and lavender, but we think this is just plain over the top!
Tell us: Would you or your husband ever wear this?
I might just have to get this for my boyfriend ….. as a joke. We're fans of the late-night BK run (being broke college students) so he'd think this was hilarious.
He'd never actually WEAR it, though. He'd stick with his versace, I'm sure. =]

Starz has released the first trailer for Ron Moore's epic series "Outlander" which debuts sometime this Summer. Based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling books, the story revolves around a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743 and thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened.
Moore revealed at the show's TCA presentation on Friday that the plan is to do as loyal an adaptation as possible: "My job is to interpret and develop it for another audience. My role is not reinventing but adapting it. There is an audience for it and a dedicated fan base who have read these for years. I take that obligation seriously. I want to give them their story, but I have to translate it and tell a story."

Localmind Stories: Dave in Kelowna
Dave Olson found a perfect opportunity to use Localmind in Kelowna, British Colombia to save hours on his commute:
"I've been a LocalMind user for a while but mostly just answering questions and checking in. However, I recently had an opportunity to experience the real power behind Localmind. A collapsing overpass, resulted in brutally slow bridge traffic between Kelowna and West Kelowna. I had tried earlier in the afternoon to get across the bridge but it took me nearly an hour to go one block and I still wasn't near the bridge so I gave up and went home. I tried without success to get some updated information by googling and checking the local news and twitter feeds but then I remembered Localmind. I quickly found a user who had checked in on the bridge within the past hour and asked what the traffic was like. He gave me great feedback and even pointed out that the left lane seemed to be moving quicker than the right lane. So based on his information, I headed back across the bridge and took the left lane. It only took me 40 minutes to get across although I had from others that it had taken up to 3.5 hours to cross the bridge. Without the time-sensitive feedback from a Localmind user I would not have been able to time my trip to beat the traffic."
Thanks Dave! There's nothing like getting the real scoop on what traffic is like from people stuck in that traffic right now.

In the past few days there has been alot of buzz about SingleHop offering CloudLinux as the first product in our Cascade cloud hosting lineup. So while many computer enthusiast get fascinated when one puts the word "cloud" and the world "linux" together, what does this innovating OS really offer you that is cloud like and linux like at the same time?
For starters, CloudLinux was designed with stability in mind. The promise of cloud hosting, whether it is done in a massive computer-grid scale, or it is done inside your own dedicated server, demands at its core that all VM's running on it be as stable as possible. That one has astounding scalability is amazing and rewarding, but scalability means nothing without stability. CloudLinux was designed with a key technology called Lightweight Virtual Environment, or LVE. LVEÂ is simply a kernel level technology that allows you to control resources for group of processes. Such technology allows for application level virtualization, and especially beneficial for multi-tenant environments such as shared hosting. In shared hosting environment such limits make sure that no single site can slow down or take down a server.
In more basic words (not that you need them) LVE allows you to have your cake and eat it too! You can offer a cloud-hosting environment and minutely manage the resources that each environment is using with CloudLinux. Furthermore, it helps you ensure that the system's performance is evenly distributed, or unevenly distributed as you may design it to be, between environments based on how much they pay or whatever other specifications you choose to apply.
So.. your interested. But, how accessible is CloudLinux to use? Well, with support for multiple control panels CloudLinux is in no way trying to re-invent the wheel. It simply giving you tools and resources to more intelligently and expertly manage your hardware resources in a shared hosting environment. CloudLinux supports the following control panels:
So without much more ado, we are very excited to have CloudLinux as the very first product that is launched under our Cascade cloud hosting system.
Happy Hosting!

Blessed are the flexible! There may not be a greater secret to success in serving another person's ministry.
In the first chapter of my book The Blessing of Serving Another Man's Ministry, I shared the dramatic encounter I had with God as a young student at Oral Roberts University—and how He revealed His calling to serve another man's ministry as I crossed the walking bridge from the student parking lot to the ORU campus. God spoke a few weeks later in our chapel service as Dr. Morris Cerullo ministered—that this was the man He had called me to stand by and serve. (You can read more about this here.
When I left the ORU chapel that spring morning, I was certain that after my experience with God, when I called the Morris Cerullo World Evangelism (MCWE) offices, I would immediately be asked to travel and minister with Dr. Cerullo.
Well, that's not exactly how it worked out.
Criticism hurts. It hurts to have our motives unfairly called into question. It hurts to diligently prepare and deliver heartfelt sermons, only to be met with skeptical people who nitpick our interpretations of a particular Scripture. And it hurts when we do our best to love and serve our people, only to be misunderstood, unappreciated and questioned in our integrity.
Now granted, this doesn't happen very often; but it doesn't need to happen often—just one or two criticisms can wipe us out and take us from the peak of Mount Hermon to the valley of the Jordan.
So how do we deal with it—at least how do we deal with the unjust criticism? We know how to deal with legitimate criticisms: We humble ourselves, we repair any damage we may have caused, we ask forgiveness, we repent, and then we pick ourselves up and move on. That's not too difficult to deal with. It's the other kind, the unfair, unnecessary kind that takes the wind out of our sails and causes us to question why we ever signed up to serve as pastors. Fortunately for us, Jesus, the Pattern Son, modeled five ways of handling criticism.
I'm finishing my fourth year as an itinerant preacher and have been the beneficiary of some great (i.e., generous, encouraging) love offerings and the victim of no poor offerings. (That was a good place to have said I've been victimized by some unscrupulous pastors or lay leaders, but thankfully, I haven't. Every check given to me has been more than I deserved and well appreciated.)
On the other hand, I've seen the other side of it. I regret to say that a time or two, when I was pastoring, my church was struggling financially and we gave the guest preacher far, far less than he deserved.
Every minister understands this. If a church does all it can, that's all anyone can ask. On the other hand, some have some funny ways of doing the Lord's business.
Easter is often the most difficult week of the year for pastors.
Not only do we have the stress of our congregation, but weird things seem to happen during that week. Family stress goes up, financial stresses skyrocket … and our time schedule is rigid because of the many activities. And then it is over.
Are you ready for a rest? It might be easy to go through the routine—do the post mortem on Easter week and then focus on what is next without taking time to let your body and soul catch up.
Instead, this week, let's take control of the calendar and focus on silence. Silence is the spiritual discipline most often avoided in today's society. We "need" noise to propel us forward. If we aren't listening to news, watching a TV show or letting music calm us, we talk to ourselves … or anyone else who will listen.
The problem of prejudice is real. Sadly, even heroes of the faith like Peter have been guilty of it.
Prejudice is defined as "preconceived opinion(s) that causes one to dislike, be hostile to or behave unjustly toward others."
We continue to find it along racial lines, social standing and religious background, and even among gender, age and sexual orientation. All too often, even Christians are guilty of prejudice.
"When Cephas [Peter] came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles." (Gal. 2:11-12a, NIV)
Paul saw prejudice as sin, regardless of who was guilty of it. A telltale sign of prejudice is who you are eating or not eating with.

Murray makes unexpected exitBy EDDIE PELLS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 06,2013NEW YORK After one set, Andy Murray slammed his racket into the court, then mangled it once he reached his chair on the sideline. After the second, he gestured over to his coach, Ivan Lendl, and let out a frustrated scream.
Stanislas Wawrinka had the U.S. Open defending champion in knots all day, and when the surprisingly short, less-than-competitive match was finished Thursday, Murray was a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 upset loser in the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows.
I would have liked to have played a little bit better, Murray said after rushing off the court and into the interview room to explain the loss. Ive had a good run the last couple of years. Its a shame I had to play a bad match today.
Ninth-seeded Wawrinka made his first Grand Slam semifinal, earning a spot in the final four for Switzerland that for so long felt like Roger Federers birthright.
It feels amazing for sure, especially here, said Wawrinka, who didnt face a break point over his 14 service games. Especially after that match. Hes the defending champion, Hes a tough opponent.
The third-seeded Murray won his first Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows last year, then his second at Wimbledon this July.
But the straight-set loss to Wawrinka ended a stay in New York during which he never got completely comfortable not when he had to wait until the first Wednesday to begin defense of the title, not when he struggled in a four-set victory over Denis Istomen in the fourth round and certainly not Thursday.
This was Murrays earliest exit from the U.S. Open since 2010, when Wawrinka also did the honors that year in the third round.
Murray conceded its been a long road since he broke into the top, first at the Olympics on home turf last year, then with the two major titles.
When you work hard at something for a lot of years, its going to take time to fire yourself up and get to training 110 percent, Murray said about his preparation for the years final Grand Slam. Thats something kind of natural after what happened at Wimbledon.
An amazing letdown, especially considering the numbers he has been putting up of late.
He had appeared in the finals of the previous four major tournaments he entered (he missed this years French Open because of a back injury).
He had won 30 of his last 32 Grand Slam matches.
He had been 7-0 on hard courts in major quarterfinals.
This marked his first straight-set loss in a major since the semifinals of the 2011 French Open.
If Im meant to win every Grand Slam I play or be in the final, its just very, very difficult just now, Murray said. With the guys around us, its very challenging.
Wawrinka is certainly one of those guys now.
He played near-flawless tennis, especially considering the windy conditions that had the ball warbling all over the place in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Wawrinka had 45 winners to 15 for Murray.
His serve averaged 119 mph 9 mph faster than Murray and he won 37 of 42 points in which he got his first serve into play.
Wawrinka also charged the net, not allowing Murray to get comfortable while trying to figure out the windy conditions on the baseline. Wawrinka won the point on 31 of 42 trips to the net, including 10 for 10 in the third set.
I thought there was a fair few long points, but I didnt get into enough return games, which is disappointing for me, Murray said. Thats normally something I do pretty well. I always give myself opportunities to break serve, and I didnt today.MORE IN Wire SportsBEIJING Rafael Nadal made a dominant return to tennis after a two-month injury layoff, beating...

By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
Washington — The House approved legislation Tuesday night to roll back a recently enacted overhaul of the federal flood insurance program, after homeowners in flood-prone areas such as the Connecticut shoreline complained about sharp premium increases.
The bill would allow sellers to pass along their subsidized, below-market insurance rates to new buyers and lower the limit on how much flood insurance premiums can rise each year. The measure was approved 306-91.
"Preventing dramatic rate increases will help bolster our real estate market and ensure that sales can continue without the threat of prohibitively high flood insurance premiums," measure co-sponsor Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said in a statement.
Rep. Michael Grimm, a New York Republican who also co-sponsored the bill, said it would ensure that families across the country, including those still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy, can avoid "a wave of devastating premium hikes and foreclosures."
The bipartisan bill would tone down a 2012 law aimed at weaning hundreds of thousands of homeowners off subsidized flood insurance rates. The federal flood insurance program is now some $24 billion in the red, mostly because of huge losses from Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. The 2012 law required extensive updating of the flood maps used to set premiums.
The bill now goes to the Senate, which passed a measure in January delaying implementation of the insurance overhaul by four years.
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., sponsor of the Senate bill, said Tuesday night he supports the House measure, which he said closely mirrors his bill.
The House bill "will end the most egregious problems with the flood insurance program and bring some real relief to thousands of homeowners who desperately need our help," Menendez said in a statement. "I'm encouraged by this progress and hope we can bring the bill over the finish line very, very soon."
The 2012 law was co-sponsored by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who also co-sponsored the latest fix to what she called the original law's "unintended effects" of dramatic rate increases for homeowners.
"Relief is on the way," Waters said, adding that the new bill would make insurance premiums more affordable while making the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers the flood program, more accountable.
Some GOP lawmakers complained that the Republican-controlled House was going along with a measure widely supported by Democrats. A total of 180 Democrats joined 126 Republicans in supporting the bill.
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, called the flood insurance program poorly run and doomed to failure, noting that it charges just 70 percent of what officials say is needed to break even.
The program uses a faulty model that understates flood risks, with the result that a single mother in Dallas who works at a grocery store subsidizes a millionaire's beachfront home, Hensarling said. "That is the definition of unfair," he said.
Implementation of the 2012 law has stirred anxiety among homeowners along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in other flood plains. Many homeowners have complained they face unaffordable rate increases. Anger over the higher rates has fueled a bipartisan drive to delay or derail many of the 2012 changes. A Senate bill approved in January delayed implementation of the insurance overhaul by four years.
The House bill would permanently repeal a provision that imposes sharp rate increases on people who buy homes in flood-prone areas. The bill also preserves below-market rates for people whose homes meet federal flood map standards.
Rates imposed by the 2012 law are particularly high in older coastal communities in states such as Florida, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey and have put a damper on home sales as prospective buyers recoil at the higher premium rates.
The House bill was brought to the floor under special rules that limit debate and require two-thirds support from those voting. That standard proved little challenge for bill supporters, despite opposition from tea party groups and other conservatives who said the measure would continue unfair federal subsidies for people who choose to live in flood-prone areas. Some environmental groups also opposed the bill, saying that climate change has increased the risk of flooding in coastal areas, making it illogical to continue to rebuild in flood-prone zones.
The House measure would also give relief to people who have bought homes after the 2012 overhaul and therefore face sharp, immediate jumps in their premiums. Those homeowners would see rate increases capped at an average of 15 percent, with a maximum of 18 percent per years.
People whose second home is in a flood zone and those whose properties have repeatedly flooded would continue to see their premiums go up by 25 percent a year until reaching a level consistent with their real risk of flooding.
FEMA would retain the ability to increase premiums each year, but the increases wouldn't be as steep as mandated under the 2012 law. A surcharge on each of 5.6 million policyholders would offset the cost of continued subsidies for about 1.1 million homeowners.
The changes proposed by the House dismayed supporters of the 2012 law, who said it began to remove incentives for people to live in costly, flood-prone areas.
"Nobody wants to see their rates go up. But taxpayers across the country don't want to support a (federal flood) program that is $24 billion in debt and climbing," said Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington-based watchdog group.
A far better solution than either the House or Senate bill would be to slow down the rate increase, even dramatically, "but still allow rates to continue to move toward their risk-based" level, Ellis said.

III. Joining and Using the Committee REAction Site(Claire McDonough and Darren Smith, NAR Staff)
IV. Short-Term Rental Restrictions(Mark Lehman, Texas Association of Realtors®; Emily Chenevert, Austin Board of Realtors®)In several areas around the country, local governments are seeking to regulate short-term rental housing in various ways. A white paper has been prepared by NAR consultant Robinson & Cole LLP, analyzes the issues raised by these different regulatory approaches; provides Realtors® with ways to address these issues, and outlines "best practices" approaches to short-term rental housing that Realtors® can use in discussing the issue with local government officials.(Rental Restrictions White Paper)
V. Eminent Domain and Mortgage Seizure(Jaren Davis, Chairman - NAR Conventional Finance and Lending Committee; Paul Herrera, Inland Valleys (CA) Association of Realtors®; Brian Bernardoni, Illinois Association of Realtors®)At the suggestion of a San Francisco based venture capital firm, Mortgage Resolution Partners (MRP) San Bernardino Count and two of its included cities have created a joint powers authority to explore local governments use of eminent domain authority to seize performing mortgage notes of "upside down" or "underwater" homeowners, and then refinance them at the homes' current value, and sell that new note to a new investor.
The proposal to use eminent domain has not yet actually been used, but has received broad attention throughout California and has been considered by cities in other states. San Bernardino seems closest to actually condemning a note.
VI. HUD Housing and Transportation Affordability Index Project(Darren Smith, NAR Staff)The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has engaged outside assistance with creating a Housing and Transportation Affordability Index. The intention of this index is to determine the cost of a households transportation as a portion of its income and what impact that may have on their ability to afford a home.

Keeping a community attractive, livable, and functioning well is a complex task. Whether your community is grappling with transportation and land use issues, crowded schools, or open space, or working to bring vacant properties back to productive use, NAR's Smart Growth program has resources to help you and your association plant seeds that will pay dividends for years to come.(NAR Smart Growth Page) B. Marketplace Fairness Act/Internet Sales Tax Update The Marketplace Fairness Act grants states the authority to compel online and catalog retailers ("remote sellers"), no matter where they are located, to collect sales tax at the time of a transaction - exactly like local retailers are already required to do. However, there is a caveat: States are only granted this authority after they have simplified their sales tax laws.
C. Transportation Authorization UpdateOn June 29, 2012, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives both approved H.R. 4348, the Surface Transportation Conference Report. The bill, passed by votes of 373-52 in the House and 74-19 in the Senate, authorizes federal surface transportation spending programs through September 30, 2014. Although the new authorization achieves some NAR policy priorities by preserving overall funding levels for roads and transit, streamlining environmental review processes, and providing some long-term certainty, it contains several provisions that decrease local control and ability to fund local needs. This includes a two-thirds reduction in funds set aside and accessible to local agencies for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and other projects that enhance neighborhoods and property values. It reduces accountability on the part of state Departments of Transportation and eases requirements that they meet broad performance measures and prioritize the maintenance and repair of existing infrastructure. Several provisions in the Senate bill supported by NAR were removed during the conference process, including a Complete Streets provision that would have required consideration of all modes and users during project planning. The new authorization identified several temporary revenue offsets to bridge the anticipated gap between gas tax revenues and authorized spending levels, but puts off to the future a larger discussion about how to match revenues and spending going forward.
D. Impacts of Energy Extraction ("Fracking") Update"Fracking" is a term used for a gas extraction method that utilizes hydraulics to fracture underground rocks. The environmental and health impact of fracking has become an issue as concerns are raised over ground water contamination and other hazards.

Chorizo and Potato Quesadillas
One of my favorite taco fillings is chorizo and potato. I was wondering how the combination might translate to quesadillas and, as it happens, it's pretty good. These quesadillas would make a great starter for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Or serve them as a main course for four people with a salad full of greens, tomatoes, and avocado. Pour your favorite beverage to go alongside and enjoy!
Chorizo and Potato Quesadillas
(4 main course servings or 8-12 starter servings)
1 8 ounce Yukon gold potato, peeled and cut into small dice
Kosher salt
8 ounces bulk, Mexican-style chorizo (I use an organic brand called "Dos Mamacitas")
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
4 9-inch flour tortillas (burrito size)
8 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, grated
1/3 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
Fresh salsa, for serving
Preheat the oven to 200F. Place the diced potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a lively simmer, season with salt, and cook until just tender (this will take about 6-8 minutes). Drain the potatoes and set aside. Place a 10- or 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and crumble the chorizo into the pan. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and is lightly browned. Lower the heat to medium and add the drained, diced potatoes. Toss the mixture to combine the potatoes and chorizo, then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula. Set aside in a warm spot. Wipe out the pan thoroughly. Butter one side of each tortilla and place them, buttered side down, on your work surface. Portion a quarter of the grated cheese over each tortilla, covering only half of each and leaving a 1/2 inch or so margin at the edge. Distribute the chorizo and potato mixture atop the cheese in a similar fashion. Sprinkle the cilantro leaves atop the filling and fold each tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Replace the skillet over medium heat and cook two quesadillas, covered, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Uncover the skillet and flip the quesadillas. Cook the second side until golden and the cheese is completely melted. Transfer the quesadillas to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining two. Cut each quesadilla in half, for main course servings, or in smaller wedges for appetizer portions. Serve with your favorite accompaniments (fresh salsa, guacamole, and so on).
