		<description><![CDATA[March 19, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- Federal Trade Commission staff has filed comments with the Federal  Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) supporting a measure  designed to protect consumers from deceptive claims and to help them  make better-informed decisions about whether to obtain a reverse  mortgage.  Reverse mortgages, typically available only to borrowers age  62 or older, allow them to “spend down” the equity in their home while  they live there.  A reverse mortgage is a home-secured loan that becomes  due when the homeowner moves, sells the home, dies, or fails to meet  loan terms such as paying property tax or homeowners insurance.   Although reverse mortgages have assisted many elderly consumers in  drawing on the equity in their homes, some consumers may not fully  understand these complex products or may be deceived by advertising  claims made about them]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Washington, D.C. - March 18, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- “We commend the extension of the Build  America Bonds program and surface transportation programs in the jobs bill just  passed by Congress, and strongly urge Congress to show the same bipartisan  support for jump starting the struggling design and construction industry," said  Christine McEntee, EVP / Chief Executive Officer of the American Institute of  Architects (AIA). "The entire construction sector has such a far reaching impact  on the overall economy and continues to suffer through layoffs and firm closings  at epic rates. In order to truly stimulate the economy there needs to be a  strong financial commitment to small business relief, broad tax incentives for  energy-efficient buildings and retrofits, and passage of the HomeSTAR and  BuildingSTAR programs for energy retrofits. We call on Congress to ensure that  those areas are addressed in the next jobs packages.]]></description>
