NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Buyers are creeping back into the U.S housing market, which is having a ripple effect on the U.S. economy -- and a highly positive effect on banks and mortgage lenders. While December wasn't exactly a bullish month for housing, the overall market is trending upward, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. "Sales of new single-family houses in December 2012 were 369,000 at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, down 7.3% from November's revised rate, but up 8.8% from December 2011," the Commerce Department says. "For 2012 overall, new home sales increased 19.9% from 2011." That should benefit homeowners, who are seeing their home values rise modestly. It also benefits the economy, as homeowners historically spend more when their home values climb. Yet perhaps the biggest beneficiary of housing market growth are banks, who could see double-digit growth in mortgage lending in 2013, according to Turner Investments, a Berwyn, Pa.-based financial services firm. The firm's analytical arm has released a report called How the Housing Recovery Is Helping Banks and Title Insurers. In it, researchers say any potential housing boom is tied tightly to the mortgage market. "Just as you can't talk about the original movie version of King Kong without mentioning Fay Wray, it's hard to talk about the state of mortgage lending without referring to the health of the housing market," the report says. Turner points to an uptick in new homes and home-building activity, which is at its highest level since 2008; residential home building permits rising to 899,000 in November; and home builder sentiment hitting its highest levels since 2006 after eight consecutive months of growth. Some other data from Turner:
- New home sales should rise from 375,000 last year to 485,000 this year and to 640,000 in 2014.
- Residential real estate investment will make up 3.5% of all U.S. gross domestic product by 2015 -- up from 2.2% in 2011.
- New households -- Turner calls them "housing formations" -- should reach 1.3 million in 2013, up from 500,000 in the midst of the Great Recession. The firm says a slowly stabilizing employment market has led more Americans, especially younger ones, to take the leap to homeownership.
"We've been patiently looking forward to the housing industry recovering since its bubble burst in 2007-08," Turner says in its report. "Now it seems our patience may be finally paying off." "As fundamentals in the housing industry perk up, we think banks that are adept at mortgage loans and mortgage refinancings like Wells Fargo ( WFC), First Republic Bank ( FRC), EverBank Financial ( EVER) and Texas Capital Bancshares ( TCBI), as well as companies like Fidelity National Financial ( FNF) that specialize in title insurance, should benefit." For consumers, that means it should be easier to get a mortgage, as banks will find it tough to continue an industrywide policy of restrictive mortgage lending standards. "Over the past three years banks haven't drastically changed their mortgage-lending standards," Turner says. "We think that's understandable; after all, indiscriminate lending was part of what caused the subprime mortgage collapse that sunk the banks and the economy in 2008." "But the banks won't be able to ignore, and aren't ignoring, rising demand for mortgages for long. In a recent Federal Reserve survey of senior loan officers, the number of banks reporting increasing mortgage-loan demand was characterized as 'significant.'" In addition, since 86% of all U.S. mortgages have an interest rate of 4.5% or more, the refinancing market should also step up significantly, as the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate stands at 3.53% this week, according to the BankingMyWay Weekly Mortgage Rate Tracker. So it turns out that what is goods news for banks, in this case, should mean good news for consumers too.

Read Full Production Details
When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' "Mary Poppins," he made them a promise-one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation. For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn't budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp. It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Sorry, no cinemas are available within -1km of postal code 27560 that are playing the movie "Saving Mr. Banks" on Monday, 25 June.Please try:- extending your search range, or - entering a new postal code, or- choosing another date.If after trying different options and your movie still does not appear with showtimes, your movie may not be playing nearby for the options you chose.
You expect a bit of schmaltz from a movie about the making of Mary Poppins. But schmaltz doesn't entail a sentiment lathered so thickly that it's feels like an anti-depressant commercial, or material so broad that it's insulting to believe that audiences above the age of five can relate to the emotionality onscreen. Saving Mr. Banks takes for granted that its viewers are fans of traditional Disney, seeming to confuse Disney fans for Disney characters, and insinuating that we bear the intellectual sophistication thereof.
The real victim, of course, is the character of P.L. Travers (Emma Roberts, charming as she can be with this material), who incurs a fraction of a storyline about overcoming (or learning to live with?) her latent childhood traumas. As a young girl in Australia (as we learn in intermittent flashbacks - by and large the dullest part of the movie, but such a hefty piece of it), young Travers adored her merry, whimsical alcoholic father (Colin Farrell, playing a character that feels as grounded in reality as Dick Van Dyke's penguin-trotting screever Bert), enchanting in his Neverland mannerisms while her chronically depressed mother watched the family crumble into squalor.
Forty-odd years later, the themes of Travers' childhood inform (sometimes directly, right down to presciently repeated phrases) her resistence to allow her novel Mary Poppins to take form as a Disney movie. In the absence of a reason for why she might have a sudden change of heart about a feeling to which she has apparently held so strongly for two decades, Travers opts to fly out to California to meet Walt Disney (Tom Hanks, wading through the script without any of the energy we know he has in his back pocket) and discuss the adaptation process.
When it's not insisting upon clunky melting the ice queen devices - like nuzzling Travers up to an oversized stuffed Mickey Mouse to show that, hey, she's starting to like this place! - the stubborn author's time in the Disney writer's room is the best part of the movie. Working with (or against) an increasingly agitated creative team made up of Bradley Whitford, Jason Schwartzman, and B.J. Novak, Travers protests minor details about setting and character, driving her colleagues mad in the process. It is to the credit of the comic talents of Whitford and Schwartzman (who play reserved agitation well beside Novak's outright hostility - he's doing mid-series Ryan in this movie, FYI) that these scenes offer a scoop of charm. But Travers' gradual defrosting poses a consistent problem, as it is experienced over the slow reveal of her disjointed backstories in a fashion that suggests the two are connected... but we have no reason to believe that they are.
The implications of the characters' stories - depression, child abuse, alcoholism, handicaps, and PTSD - are big, and worthy of monumental material. But the characters are so thin that the assignment of such issues to them does a disservice to the emotionality and pain inherent therein. A good story might have been found in the making of Mary Poppins, and in the life and work of P.L. Travers. Unfortunately, Saving Mr. Banks is too compelled to turn that arc into a Disney cartoon. And much like Travers herself, we simply cannot abide that.

What: University of Colorado Veterans Day Ceremony
When: Nov. 11, 11 a.m.
Where: University Memorial Center, Glenn Miller Ballroom
Cost: Free, open to the public
In one photo Adam Nilson took of himself in Afghanistan, he smiles while petting a brown and tan dog with its tongue hanging out, a wild dog he named Simple during the six months he spent as an adviser to the Afghan National Army.
That photo and others remind Nilson these days that not everything about war was "doom and gloom." Though he's finished with his career in the Army National Guard, Nilson has delved deeper into photography as a second-year student at the University of Colorado, using his art classes to explore aspects of his identity and to reflect his experiences in combat.
Nilson, who will turn 31 Tuesday, is studying studio arts and photography at CU. Through photography, Nilson also is able to share a little piece of what it feels like to be a veteran with the rest of the university community. There are more than 1,000 veteran students, faculty, staff and family members at CU this year, a number that's expected to grow over the next five years.
In his classes, after he explains the meaning behind his photos, many of his traditional-age undergraduate peers admit that they didn't know much about life in Afghanistan and thank him for helping them better understand what it means to be a modern veteran.
"I'm glad I went over," Nilson said. "I'd do it again, but I didn't want to be in the military anymore. I just felt after my experiences in combat, I didn't want to stay down that road.
"It's an easy road to follow because it is a fulfilling mission you have. You're good at it. Combat is exciting, as terrifying as it can be. It's easy to get wrapped up in that but I think you lose a little bit of yourself every time you go over. I decided I'm going to create beautiful things. I've seen enough of the destruction."
Capturing the 'lighthearted moments' of war
Nilson grew up in rural Ohio and became a firefighter after graduating from high school.
He remembers his first fire at age 19. It was Christmas Eve and Nilson was on the first truck to arrive at the burning house. His team helped contain the fire to one room, and the family ate Christmas dinner the next day in another part of the house.
It became clear to Nilson through his firefighting experience and from hearing about his grandpa, a World War II B-29 pilot, that he had a passion for service.
He left for Afghanistan in June 2010, where he and nine other Americans helped train 40 Afghan soldiers and work with them during combat missions.
Nilson had brought with him a "little camera" to document his time in Baghlan Province in northeastern Afghanistan.
He photographed combat, civilians, the local dogs and his fellow servicemen.
"There are lighthearted moments from time to time," Nilson said.
Several injuries, including damage to his lungs from toxic fumes and dust during his tour, prevented him from continuing on in the infantry. He came back home at the beginning of 2011 and headed west for the Rocky Mountains to start classes at CU in 2012.
Fighting for air
As of Nov. 2, there were 705,113 pending claims for disability, pension and educational benefits, according to numbers provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. More than half of those claims had been pending for more than 125 days.
While waiting for his disability claim to be processed last year, Nilson struggled to pay his rent in Boulder. He says he lost 20 pounds because he couldn't afford food, and nearly lost his apartment.
Because of injuries to his wrist and knee, Nilson couldn't find a job, either. He couldn't stop coughing because of the damage to his lungs from breathing air full of smoke from burn pits all over the country. When he tried to make an appointment in Denver, he was told it would be eight months before he could see a VA doctor. Before that, the Cleveland VA kept losing his paperwork.
"It took two years for my claim to get processed," he said. "And then they denied part of it."
The VA mostly ignored his lung condition. Now Nilson gets treatment from Dr. Cecile Rose at National Jewish Health in Denver, one of the leading researchers on deployment-related lung disease.
In August, Nilson spoke out about his lung condition for U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, who is co-sponsoring legislation to help veterans deal with exposure to toxic chemicals. Nilson said he hopes to draw awareness to deployment related lung disease so that soon veterans will begin receiving better care and legitimate recognition by the VA.
"It's affecting a lot of people," he said. "My case isn't as severe as some people's. It's out there, but it's hidden still."
CU community learning from veterans
At CU, Nilson works in the Office of Veterans Services helping to process students' GI Bill paperwork and to make them feel more comfortable on campus. When many veterans return to civilian life, Nilson said, they feel like they can't relate to anyone.
But the veterans services office is a place for them to hang out, study, talk with other veterans and form a community. As an older undergraduate student, Nilson often answers questions for veterans who are new to CU and campus life. In his classes, Nilson is helping to remind CU students and faculty to be sensitive to the unique issues veterans face when they return to society.
In the next five years, an estimated 2 million additional veterans will be entering the higher education system, said CU veterans services program manager Stew Elliott. Not only will CU and other campuses need to ensure that its services are accessible to veterans, but that the campus population as a whole is ready to welcome and understand those veterans.
"One of the great things about having veterans in our classes is talking to younger students, who are perhaps a little bit less worldly, who really probably haven't been touched personally by what's occurred over the last 10 years," said Office of Veterans Services director George Ballinger. "There's some real valuable lessons, some real valuable insights and perspectives that traditional students can gain from our veterans and folks like Adam."

WAYNESBORO — Angie Fuss seems to be just where she wants to be, and that's closely involved with the Waynesboro Area Middle School track and field program.
It's not exactly like it was years ago when she actually started a middle school program in Woodstock, Va. The program here in Waynesboro has been around, but it's the future that excites the 1996 Waynesboro Area Senior High School graduate.
Fuss, who competed in cross country and track and field in high school, was approved to be the head coach of WAMS on Thursday, replacing long-time coach Barry Donohoe. Fuss spent the past two years as the distance coach for the Braves and Maidens teams.
"This is kind of a surprise that Barry is leaving," Fuss said Friday morning. "He kind of told me at the last minute. I'll still be working with the distance runners. I'll just have more responsibilities."
Mike Bercaw returns as sprint coach. New coaches coming into the program are Kim Flickinger (jumps) and Jyi Smith (throwers).
"I just feel like it's helping the high school team," said Fuss, who sees the middle school program as a feeder system into the high school sport. "I have a lot of kids I recruit to run track here, and it's something they fall in love with here and continue on in high school. Being a WASHS graduate, it's kind of cool to give back to the program."
The boys' and girls' teams start practicing March 11. The first meet is April 10.
"I definitely plan on being a part of the program for a long time," Fuss said. "Everyone's been very supportive. Also, even though Barry stepped down, he wants to be involved as much as he can until his (knee replacement) surgery. He's been really helpful showing me what goes into the head coaching part of it with all the different responsibilities."
After Fuss graduated from WASHS, she attended Hagerstown Junior College for two years and finished her undergraduate education at Radford University in Virginia. She coached at Radford for a time before getting a teaching job in Woodstock, Va., where she started the middle school track and field program.
Fuss is in her fourth year as a health and physical education teacher at WAMS.
"I love this age," she said. "I love working with this age.
"I'm not really looking for the most athletic person, more like someone who has the determination to work hard. When I first started out, I wasn't that athletic. I just worked hard. I want someone who wants to improve themselves and help the team. Track is an individual sport and a team sport."
Fuss is also an avid runner. She runs daily and recently participated in a 24-hour race in North Carolina in January. She signed up to run in a 100-mile event in New York state in August.

The free agent offerings have been picked over. There's very little left. Maybe KC could get Sid Rice on a one-year prove it deal.
There's the draft, of course. The draft may add an immediate contributor, but you shouldn't count on it. It unrealistic to expect immediate help coming at one or more positions. Eric Fisher did very little last year.
This team has holes or question marks at LE, LILB, FS, LG, RG, LT, RT and WR2. They've either filled in the gaps with lesser talent (Joe Mays, Vance Walker) or are relying on unproven talent like Eric Fisher, Donald Stephenson, Rishaw Johnson, Sanders Commings and A.J. Jenkins.
Yes, the cap is an issue. But what has John Dorsey done to address it? Why wasn't Eric Berry signed long term, creating cap space? Why are under-performing and overpaid 2013 FA busts Anthony Fasano and Donnie Avery still here?
As it stands now, this team looks significantly worse than last year's team.
John Dorsey, what have you done for me lately? What have you done at all?

'Rewinder' fast-forwards band's progress
The phrase "Straight to VHS" was originally a film term implying expediency because of a decided lack of quality - as in a newly-released movie would bypass distribution to national theaters and, at top speed, be relegated to video store VHS bins.
As for the New London punk/garage trio called Straight to VHS, neither the "quick" or "sucky" implication is accurate. The band - guitarist/singer/songwriter Jon Young, bassist Tony Chagnon and drummer Jay Silva - scored immense local popularity when it formed five years ago. An early, self-titled EP, produced with raw energy by the iconic Matt Potter (Fatal Film et al), exploded on the local scene and sent shockwaves through the region.
But subsequent expectations that they'd channel the talent and energy and rocket to a national profile have been painfully derailed by a succession of complications.
Simultaneously, each of the three members faced problems with crumbling romantic relationships - some involving children. Too, Chagnon was battling an on-again/off-again substance abuse problem. It was a derailing element from a musical standpoint, but it also caused great personal tension since Chagnon and Young had been close friends since childhood.
Ultimately, Chagnon - now sober - told Young his heart was no longer in the band and he left. It took more time and energy to find a replacement whose personal chemistry and distinct musical acumen fit, but at last Tim Donnel joined the ranks and, once again, Straight to VHS righted their course.
Only now, at a CD release party Saturday in New London's Bank Street Cafe, will Straight to VHS finally release "Rewinder," their debut album. That the album was actually recorded more than two years ago is another part of the story, but the important thing is that, at last, the band has a chance to reharness momentum and, perhaps, fate.
Straight to VHS' music is glorious, jittery and hook-clustered with driving melodicsm - all contained, like test-tube'd plague, inside punchy two- and three-minute songs. The music he writes seems to reflect Young's urgency. At 36, his commitment is more iron-clad than ever, fueled not just by his self-assurance as a leader and writer, but also, perhaps, by a sense of time running out.
Last week,Young sat down to answer a few questions.
You've made no secret of your desire to to "make it" as a musician. After the delays you guys have gone through, do you feel any additional urgency now that you're 36?
I've played music all along, but I don't think I actively started thinking about it seriously 'til I was 25 or 26. When I was 31, it really hit me: this is what I love and what I'm best at. I thought, well, maybe I'll be crushed, but I'm going for it. I sat down and made a plan: I'm going to be in a band and make a living. No more screwing around. I decided to go full ahead and jump into it.
Sometimes, the pursuit of artistic goals sort of precludes things like a business plan. Obviously, you have to have the band and the music - the "art" part - but what do you mean when you say you organized a strategy?
Well, yeah, there was the band. Straight to VHS was my first all-out effort to be a leader and implement all of the things I'd learned over the years; all the ideas not just about the music, but creating a buzz. We played live, we got that first EP out. People liked it. There are phases you go through. I had a master plan and went down the check list. To my surprise, it worked.
There were a lot of problems you guys went through that short-circuited the momentum. Ultimately, Tony - one of your best friends - decided to leave the band. Talk about how that affected you, not just musically, but emotionally.
Tony and I grew up next-door neighbors in Ashaway. When we started playing music, it was like a brotherhood. We'd practice all day every day and it wasn't ever work. It was like we were supposed to be doing it. For the longest time, Tony was the singer and the leader of our bands, and it was good.
In Straight to VHS, when we sort of shifted roles, it was still fine. It was magical. Musically, we never had to explain anything to each other. You wonder, how do I replace that? But, yeah, it's not just music. The chemistry - the fun you have - you can't just expect that to happen. Here's this crazy punk rock band and we've been making each other laugh for years.
You might find someone else who can play, but maybe he's, like, a serious guy. That obviously doesn't work. It was amazingly lucky to find Tim. He'd originally tried to help out recommending other musicians - and then he said, hell, I'll give it a try.
The early reality that all three musicians had relationship troubles, and Tony had substance abuse troubles, obviously short-circuited the band's progress. But what did it do to you as a songwriter? Some artists might use that distress as a creative inspiration. Others might find it an emotional barrier.
There were a lot of things going on that you have to deal with. With respect to Tony, he was going through torture. I couldn't help as much as I wanted because of my own problems. Over that whole period, as it turned into months and then years, I was freaking out. I had this growing urgency, but I couldn't write because of the uncertainty. I didn't know whether we'd have a band or who was in it. We'd finished recording the album but I didn't have the money to mix it - and I wasn't sure there would even BE a band. Ultimately, it did work with Tim, and we've gotten back on track. At that point, you can look back, creatively, and say, "Well, you've got to suffer a bit. It goes hand in hand with the process." But that didn't help when it was all happening.
Yes: "Rewinder" will be released this week and the band's together and healthy. What do you do now to get back to that master plan checklist?
Jay and I are trying to start our own record label. In addition to VHS, he also plays with the Weird Beards. We want to release albums for both bands and then push. The idea would be to get a loan, maybe re-release the EP on vinyl, and use the early sales to put it back into the label.
We've got new material - so do the Weird Beards - and get back into the studio. Move forward. Maybe record other acts; get an art department and market merchandise. The whole business plan.
Ultimately, you've got to play music. That's the whole idea. I could see touring with the Weird Beards and going to different towns. Expand the territory and meet other bands and network. We've learned so much from how Rich Martin and Sean Murray go about things here in New London.
You're in a good place, then.
Yeah, finally (laughs). I'll take a deep breath after the release party. You know, it's not about big success, now. That would be nice, but I obsessed so long about the band and this record and what it could mean. Now, I want it done and over with - not in a bad way - but to ride the momentum and get to the rest of whatever I'm meant to do.

Here are the answers to the most common questions we've been asked since our official Worthy View off-site, pre-erecred accommodation went on sale (click for more info and to book).
Some accommodation option are showing as unavailable, will there be any more?
We don't expect to have any more of the sold out options available, other than in the situation of an existing booking being cancelled (at which point they would be made available again via the booking site).
I booked a tent and forgot to add a car park ticket, can I still buy one?
If you have made a booking and forgot to order a car park ticket, please contact Seetickets customer services to add one to you order. Please note there is a limit on the number allowed per group, as this car park is only available to residents at Worthy View.
How far is Worthy View from the Festival site?
Worthy View campsite is approx. 250 metres up the (steep) hill from Pennard Hill Gate. The hill is not suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs or those with mobility issues.
If I can't go, can my friend use my tent booking, or can I get a refund?
Tent bookings are not transferable, but are refundable up to May 3rd, less a £10 admin fee per unit.
My friend has also booked a tent, can we have our tents next to each other?
Where possible the Festival has endeavoured to meet requests for friends and family groups to be located together as long as the booking is for the same accommodation type, however this service cannot be guaranteed, and requests are now closed. Different types of tent, even on the same booking, can not be grouped together.
Will there still be a chance to book the onsite tipis onsite?
Yes, campervan pitches and onsite tipis were on sale with ticket balances as normal (NB: these have now sold out).

Install WiiMC
Setup The Homebrew Channel
This is a step-by-step guide of how to install the Homebrew Channel on your Wii console[3]:
Install the Homebrew Browser
Use this guide to install the Homebrew Browse[4]:
Setup WiiMC
You can then use the Homebrew Browser to install the WiiMC application[2]
Once you've set it up, you can nose around and see what it can do, this is a pretty good video guide to setting up the WiiMC.
On the Wii
Setting up a Samba Share:
- For this you need to know your Linkstation's ip address
- Make sure you know the name of the samba share you setup
- Open WiiMC and go to "Settings"...Its to the right of the screen. Click "Network" down the bottom. Click "Add SMB Share"
- Using the details you grabbed before enter the name of the folder you are sharing (e.g., movies, music) and give it a "display name". They can be the same. Add your ipaddress, username and password.
On the Linkstation
For some reason the newest version doesn't work well with older versions of Samba, this probably has something to do with UTF-8 support. WiiMC uses a purpose built Samba implementation called Tinysmb[5] which was originally designed for the GameCube.
You can use an older version of WiiMC with the default older version of samba, or you can upgrade Samba using debian backports to use with the newest version of WiiMC.
With Samba 3.2.5 and WiiMC v1.04
Samba 3.2.5 is now Debian Lenny's included package, use this with WiiMC v1.04[6]. There is still some instability with Samba shares that have directories with alot of files/directories, it just seems to cause the whole system to crash. Also USB media doesn't work in this version well at all.
With Samba 3.4.8 and WiiMC v1.09+
Samba 3.4.8 is now in Debian Lenny's backports repository, you can use this with the newest version of WiiMC. [6]. This has pretty good stability for large directories, and of course USB media works well in this release. To enable backports you need to do the following:
- 1. Add this line:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
- 2. Run: apt-get update
- 3. Run: apt-get -t lenny-backports install samba

Or to put it another way, who are the players that you suspect our FO might draft that you are afraid of being busts?
For me, I'd say Barkevious Mingo. If Irvin isn't a LEO, or is at best years away from being one, what does that make Mingo? A wasted roster spot, and a wasted 1st round pick. Still, I kind of worry that Pete will be intoxicated by Mingo's speed and short area quickness. It would be a pretty huge mistake, but sadly I could see it happening. I'll definitely be rooting for Mingo to leave the board in the first 24 picks.
In the later rounds I'd probably say Jelani Jenkins. He's fast, and he'll tempt PC/JS, but the tape shows a LB that gets pushed around like Kelly Jennings playing linebacker.

Jurrah surrenders to Adelaide police
Former AFL footballer Liam Jurrah has handed himself in at the Elizabeth Police Station in Adelaide's north.
The 24-year-old former Melbourne forward was due to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Tuesday on a charge of aggravated assault.
It is alleged he committed the assault last week at Elizabeth in Adelaide's north.
He is also charged with a number of drink-driving offences, allegedly committed last month at nearby Para Hills.
Port Adelaide Football Club said Jurrah, who formerly played for Melbourne, has declined an offer to play with the Power's SANFL team this year.
The club says it has offered "extensive support" to assist Jurrah but "complex circumstances" in his personal life have meant the footballer can't commit to the club.
The club also says it wishes Jurrah well and will offer him what support it can.

Hard work pays off as UConn awards diplomas
Storrs -In 12 separate commencement events, approximately 7,000 students were awarded undergraduate or graduate diplomas at the University of Connecticut's graduation ceremonies this weekend.
The ceremonies for the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine will be held today, while the School of Law's commencement ceremony is Sunday.
Jeffrey Immelt, chairman and CEO of the General Electric Corp., gave the commencement speech at Saturday's ceremony for students receiving graduate degrees. He was also the recipient of an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters
The Schools of Engineering, Pharmacy, General Studies, and Fine Arts also held their commencement ceremonies on Saturday. The executive director and CEO for the Society of Women Engineers, Elizabeth Shananan, spoke to the engineering students and received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the school. Actor and director Jerry Adler addressed the School of Fine Arts and received an honorary doctorate degree from that school. The schools of pharmacy and general students were addressed by UConn graduates Kerry Blanchard (pharmacy), Robert Bepko (pharmacy) and Lauren DiGrazia (general studies).
The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Ratcilffe Hicks School of Agriculture held their commencement on Saturday evening. The commencement speaker at that event was Charles Zwick, a 1950 graduate of CANR. Zwick, an honorary degree recipient, was the director of the Federal Office of Management and Budget under President Lyndon Johnson and has supported the university's research efforts in the area of food and resource policy.
Although the School of Social Work's students participated in the graduate ceremony, the school held a separate recognition ceremony on Saturday morning at which it awarded honorary degrees. Gary Bailey, a leader in the field of social work, spoke and received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. The school also presented that degree to Lyudmila Harutyunyan, who is referred to as the "mother of Armenian social work" in a university press release.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, with about 2,500 graduates, is so large that its ceremony was split into two events, both held on Sunday. The speaker at the first ceremony was Dr. Frank Torti, dean of the School of Medicine. Graduates at the second event were addressed by Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill, a 1988 graduate of the university.
The Schools of Business, Nursing and Education also held ceremonies Sunday. The School of Business commencement speaker was UConn alum Daniel Toscano, now managing director and head of Global Leveraged and Acquisition Finance at Morgan Stanley. Barbara Jacobs, director of Clinical Ethics Consultation Service at Hartford Hospital, addressed the school of nursing graduates. Graduates of the Neag School of Education were addressed by award-winning author Wally Lamb, a 1977 graduate of that school, who received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letter degree Sunday.
Dr. Ferid Murad, who received the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, will address the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine today and receive an honorary Doctorate of Science.
Neal Kumar Katyal, who recently argued several Supreme Court cases as acting solicitor general of the United States, will address the School of Law on Sunday.

Posted on November 20, 2009
If you're interested at all in why there was no blog on Monday (I know you wept all morning), I was off doing my duly-do, answering a summons to jury duty. In the end, it was decided that justice would be best served if I went back to the Newberry and sorted books, but at least it took them all day to make up their minds about that.
One of the things stressed during the choosing of the jury was that we were going to be asked to judge only facts. I am completely unsuited for this due to my profession, because the facts are the last thing I want to be working with.
Well, let's backpedal. There are facts and there are facts. If the valuable edition of this book has a big dot like a period in the middle of a sentence on page 88, that's a fact I need to know. It's the facts presented in the text that don't concern me.
"Don't you know that book is a pack of lies?" I get asked, in various stages of outrage and decorum. "How can you put it in nonfiction?"
Well, one reason is that it says "Nonfiction" here on the cover.
"But every fact in there has been disproven in the last ten years!"
Yeah, but I've been working this line now for twenty-five years. And I find if a book is totally discredited in ten years, it'll be proven correct again ten years after that, and will be pronounced completely fraudulent five years after THAT. I can't spend my time evaluating the truthfulness of each book. Not only would it take up time, but I'd need twice as much space. Right next to a small "Political Science" section, I'd have to add a huge "Political Opinion" section. The table for "History" would have to sit next to "Conjecture". And "Art" would be tiny compared to "I Don't Know What It Is But I Know I Don't Like It".
It works the other way, too: "You should put that novel in Biography; it's based on her life."
There are whole weeks when I wonder why we didn't just sort 'em by "Red Books", "Blue Books", "Brown Books", and such. Ten to one I'd hear from some volunteer who wants to make sure the crimson books don't get mixed with the maroon ones.*
*Maroon Books: Books you'd take with you to a desert island.

Christmas came a day late for a few holiday travelers lucky enough to be searching for a Delta Air Lines flight through the company's website mid-morning on Thursday.
A tech glitch temporarily caused the site to offer customers steeply discounted fares. An economy-class round-trip ticket from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to the Twin Cities on was going for $25.05. Round-trip flights across the country for $50 were reported on Twitter. Boston-to-Hawaii was reported for $68.
"For a portion of the morning today, some prices on delta.com and other booking channels were incorrectly displayed, resulting in lower than usual fares for customers," Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter said Thursday. "The situation has been resolved and the correct prices are being displayed. Delta will honor any fares purchased at the incorrect price."
The Cincinnati-MSP flight was newly listed later Thursday at $403.80.
Atlanta-based Delta is the dominant carrier serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
George Hobica, founder of AirFareWatchdog.com, said his staff began noticing the incorrect prices around 9 a.m. central time. They began disappearing three hours later. AirFareWatchdog.com is a website that monitors 4,000 domestic and international flight routes to alert consumers of low-priced fares.
Hobica said the errors were systemwide, affecting both first-class and business class and economy class.
In September, United Airlines allowed passengers who bought tickets that were accidentally offered for free because of faulty reservations data to use them for travel. Delta didn't say how many tickets were sold today at the incorrect price.

You and I may get very excited about the big sales frequently run by Steam and many other PC digital distributors, but the chap behind Origin at Electronic Arts is not convinced such huge discounts are good. Interviewed at E3, EA's senior VP of global ecommerce David DeMartini opined that offering big discounts on Steam "cheapens your intellectual property."
"Obviously they think it's the right thing to do after a certain amount of time," DeMartini said of Steam to GamesIndustry International. "I just think it cheapens your intellectual property."
"We're trying to give you a fair price point, and occasionally there will be things that are on sale you could look for a discount, just don't look for 75%-off going-out-of-business sales," he explained. That "certainly works for Valve," he thinks, but "I don't know if it works as well for the publishing partners who take on the majority of that haircut."
"If you want to sell a whole bunch of units, that is certainly a way to do that, to sell a whole bunch of stuff at a low price. The gamemakers work incredibly hard to make this intellectual property, and we're not trying to be Target. We're trying to be Nordstrom."
It's a curious comparison to draw, as Steam beats Origin by far on both pricing and client experience. However, plans are supposedly afoot to win customer's hearts and minds in a way other than cutting prices, to "form a longer-term relationship with them and draw them in that way." What exactly this will entail is under wraps for now. Ponies, maybe.
He's not the only one to have criticised Steam for this, mind. In April, GOG commented that huge Steam discounts damage the "long-term value of your brand because people will just wait for the next insane sale."
That said, Steam discounts have certainly been a huge success for some developers who don't mind making less money per sale if the volume increases massively. Darwinia creator Introversion has credited a Steam promotion with saving the studio from closure.

"I don't have time to bake cookies for the PTA bake sale!" cries today's working parent. Schools are demanding "parental involvement" and today's time-stressed parents are feeling pressured. Study after study shows the number one indicator of student success is parental involvement. Don't worry!
"I don't have time to bake cookies for the PTA bake sale!" cries today's working parent. Schools are demanding "parental involvement" and today's time-stressed parents are feeling pressured.
Study after study shows the number one indicator of student success is parental involvement. Don't worry!
Parental involvement is not as difficult as it sounds and all you need is "A CRASH" course in how to be an involved parent:
Ask your child specific questions about school including what he or she is learning in each class, what special activities are happening at school and about their friends. Reading, writing and conversation are the three main ways students process their learning. By having your child talk about their day and what they learned you are actually increasing the chance the knowledge will stick.
Caring is the most important requirement of all. If your child believes you care about school success your child will be more motivated to do his or her best. Elementary students do their best in school to please you – not because they are focused on a prestigious college and professional career. A study by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company found that nearly all students (97%) who earned mostly A's and B's on their report cards reported that their parents encouraged them to do well in school. Showing you care includes attending parent-teacher conferences.
Reading is linked to academic success. Less than one-third of 13 year olds read daily. In 2006, American teenagers averaged seven to 10 minutes per day reading and 120 to 150 minutes per day watching television. (Increased Internet use since then has caused literary reading to decline even more.) Students who read 22 minutes a day or more average over the 70 percentile on standardized tests. Only 3% of adult prisoners read at a proficient level.
Attendance is essential to succeeding in school and on the job. Students who miss 10 or more days in a school year increase their risk of dropping out of high school. People who drop out of high school are 3.5 times as likely to be incarcerated in their lifetime.
Sleep is necessary for proper brain function. Elementary age children need 10 to 11 hours of sleep and teenagers need about nine hours of sleep nightly. Lack of sleep causes irritability, hyperactivity, depression, impatience, mood swings, low self-confidence, low tolerance for frustration or other impulse control problems. All of these make learning and behaving difficult.
Homework is the final subject in a crash course of parental involvement. Make sure your child does his or her homework each day. Your child should have a safe, quiet place to do work with necessary supplies such as paper and pencils. Most families find it easiest if homework is completed before chores and fun activities.
March is Parenting Awareness Month, which is a great time to reflect on how you can be the parent who supports your child in school success. Busy moms and dads can be involved parents – even if it means enjoying store bought cookies with your child instead of baking up a batch for the PTA sale.
Local parenting advice is available on a CD or through MP3 download or listening online at http://www.ioniaisd.org/Area/PAM.php.

Obama Asserts Gay Rights in Inaugural Speech
President Barack Obama emphasized three prongs of civil rights, declaring, "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths - that all of us are created equal - is the star that guides us still."
He went further, with direct mentions of equality regardless of race, gender and sexual orientation. He referenced both Selma and Stonewall - landmark events for black and gay Americans, respectively - and talked of our country finally seeing its wives and mothers earning an "equal living" for the work that they do.
The president hinted at a potential fight against the Defense of Marriage Act. "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law," he stated. "For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal, as well."
"It is our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began," he said on this day, which is also Martin Luther King Day in the United States.
This was the first time a U.S. president mentioned LGBT Americans in an inauguration speech, let alone LGBT rights as one of the inspirations of the fulfilling the country's promise.

My 2x great grandparents married today 139 years ago.
Thomas Turner was born in Kendal, Westmorland about 1847 although I haven't yet been able to find a definite record of his birth.
Mary Jane Carradice was born on 8th November 1854 also in Kendal.
They married on 29th June 1872 at Kendal Register Office. The witnesses were Miles Barry Harker and Hannah Harker.
I had never come across the name Harker before in my family tree. So while preparing this post I decided to see if I could find any connection between Miles and Hannah and Thomas and Mary Jane.
The only link I have been able to establish is that all four appear on the same page of the marriage register – which clearly suggests to me that they were married on the same day at Kendal Register Office.
Presumably Miles Barry Harker and Hannah Fisher tied the knot first given the witness names on Thomas and Mary Jane's marriage certificate. I wonder if Thomas and Mary Jane performed the role of witnesses for Miles and Hannah. Maybe they were all friends or perhaps this was the first time they had even met.
The lack of family witnesses has me thinking that perhaps Thomas and Mary Jane married without their families consent – or am I reading too much into this. I guess that I will never know.
Whatever the circumstances of their marriage they went on to have at least ten children:-
- Elizabeth Ann – 31st May 1873 (my great grandmother)
- John – c1877
- Thomas and William – 27 August 1878 (William died the same day and Thomas ten days later)
- Ellen – 10th November 1879
- Mary Jane – 8th January 1882
- Alexander – 27th November 1884
- Isabella – 24th February 1887
- James – c1892
- Ivy – c1897
Over the years the family migrated south to Clitheroe in Lancashire.
Thomas died on 7th December 1916 and Mary Jane on 18th April 1917.

3pp® Bunion-Aider™
Reducing bunions (hallux valgus) is as simple as 1-2-3. Wear this soft, low-profile splint to correct a bunion day or night. The 3-point correction strap and removable stay make it easier to straighten the big toe at rest or in shoes.
This just does not deliver. The band around your foot slides down, the toe piece slides down and you end up with no tension on your toe. Also the edges of the band curl up and create lumps. Walking in it is fine but then it slides down also. They need to try again

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The Kansas State Board of Education has sent a letter to Gov. Sam Brownback and state legislators reminding them of the board's authority to set state education standards.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the brief letter doesn't mention specific measures before state lawmakers, but asks that legislators respect the board's ``constitutional responsibility for the general supervision of schools, which includes accrediting schools, providing for academic standards and the licensure of teachers.''
The letter was signed by board chairwoman Jana Shaver on behalf of the board. Shaver says the purpose of the letter was to clarify the board's constitutional role. She also said that a measure before a House committee was the main impetus for the letter. That bill would ban Kansas' current mathematics and English standards.

Counters venture out in search of the homeless
New London - It's a scavenger hunt without much of a happy outcome.
Under bridges, deep into stretches of woods and in covered doorways, volunteers scour the cold streets for their human tallies.
Tuesday was the official Point in Time count of the homeless, an affair that takes place every two years in the last week of January and is designed to determine the regional number of those without homes and whether they use local shelters or not.
Mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the biennial surveys - confidential and without participants' names - are also used for homeless services grant applications and give HUD an indication of regional homeless numbers, said David Pascua, housing coordinator for the Southeastern Connecticut Mental Health Authority. Pascua coordinated the count effort in Norwich and surrounding towns.
On Tuesday, the warmest day in about 10, about 19 volunteers met at the New London Homeless Hospitality Center's day shelter at 19 Jay St. Under the direction of Erik Clevenger, the housing director at Reliance House Inc. in Norwich and the New London region's count coordinator, the seven groups were given maps with geographical grids - from Stonington to the Lymes - to search for homeless residents.
Before they set off, Clevenger gave some tips: always think safety first, don't wake sleeping people and avoid those who appear intoxicated or agitated. Counts from local shelters, Clevenger said, would come later in the night directly from the shelters.
While the Point in Time count is done every two years, Clevenger said, counts of homeless people who stay in shelters are conducted every year. In 2007, Clevenger said, the annual count turned up a total of 193 homeless households in the region. That number increased in 2009 but went down again in 2011, he said. This year's numbers will be anybody's guess, Clevenger said.
Volunteers also administered a 31-question survey with a wide variety of questions that aimed at getting to the cause of homelessness.
Wearing neon yellow "CT Counts" buttons and armed with clipboards, surveys, flashlights, gift cards, bus passes and toiletries, volunteers were teamed up and hit the streets around 6 p.m.
Volunteers Noermila Cardena and Heidi Potter were assigned an area encompassing much of downtown New London, from Federal Street to Fort Trumbull.
Down to the SEAT bus stops on Water Street and into the train station, Cardena and Potter approached everyone they saw: "Hi, we're doing a count tonight and just wanted to make sure you have a place to stay tonight." All replied that they did but thanked the women for taking the time to check.
On City Pier, Cardena, who works at the Homeless Hospitality Center, spotted two men she knew. They were watching the trains go by and told Cardena they'd soon head to the overnight homeless shelter, at 76 Federal St.
The women continued on their quest, asking a few people at Waterfront Park if they were set with accommodations for the night. Looping back around onto Bank Street, Cardena ran into another familiar face, Jose Rodriguez, standing in front of Mambo Restaurant.
Rodriguez, 52 and a homeless veteran, was chatty Tuesday night. Rodriguez has knee and back issues and is on disability but said that in the past, he'd done a bit of everything: driven trucks, framed houses, taken photos that hung in galleries.
Rodriguez said he has a cure for homelessness. Instead of foreign aid, he said, the government should "take care of the homeless and the hungry, and take care of the United States."
Down the street, Rodriguez met up with his wife, Melissa Connors. Originally from Wethersfield, Connors said she's been homeless since 2005, when she fled a domestic violence situation. She's since lost her job and car and become disabled and unable to work.
Life on the street, she said, isn't easy, though she hasn't turned to drugs or prostitution like many homeless women, she said. The key to helping the homeless, she said, is providing programs that last for longer than 60 or 90 days.
"It's like you're a sinking ship," Connors said. "You start sinking, and get on these programs that bail you out a little bit and then they throw you out into the hurricane. People really need safe, secure housing and food."

Scallop, Mexican Bay
Mexican Bay Scallops are distributed from Baja California, Mexico to Northern Peru, including both sides of the Baja California Peninsula. They grow quickly, reach sexual maturity around 6 months of age and produce many eggs.
After heavy fishing pressure that caused numbers to drop considerably, Mexican Bay Scallops are thought to be at healthy levels of abundance particularly in the main fishing area of Magdalena Bay, Mexico. However, a formal published population assessment is lacking.
In Magdalena Bay, they are collected by hand by commercial divers, causing no damage to the seafloor and little to no bycatch.

Police in a small New England town are among law enforcement agencies around the country investigating tips related to the Westminster case of Jessica Ridgeway.
Police in Maine have received a report that a girl looking like the missing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway was seen there.
"We had to review the video and we are working on a report," said a Dexter, Maine, police spokesman.
A woman reported seeing the girl on Sunday in the central Maine town riding in a light blue Buick station wagon with Colorado plates, according to Maine's WABI TV5.
Police in Dexter, a town of about 5,000, have notified other agencies in the state to stop the car if they see it.
A second person reportedly saw the vehicle in Harmony, Maine, according to the news station.
The Dexter Maine police spokesman said he has received only one report of a girl who resembled Jessica, who was last seen on her way to school Oct 5.
"We rely on law enforcement agencies across the county to help us in our investigation," said Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso.
He said his department is in contact with agencies in other jurisdictions and relies on partners to keep Westminster investigators informed.
Westminster police say tips have come from Maryland, Maine, Nevada, Texas and Wyoming, just to name a few. As of Wednesday morning, more than 650 tips have been received.
Materasso encouraged anyone with information to report it to police. He said the tips are prioritized and passed to appropriate investigators.
Tips are being collected at 303-658-4336 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The Jace Hall Show Ep. 7 features a new trailer from PlanetSide 2, SOE's upcoming MMOFPS sequel. This is being presented with a viral veneer, so prepare your fake outrage and be sure to rush to see this before it is "banned," since the powers-that-be can't stand anyone having any fun. Word is: "The Jace Hall team delivered what may be called the 'Nanite Ned' trailer (starring PlanetSide 2 Creative Director Matt Higby) and it's safe to say, SOE President John Smedley is not pleased. Luckily, the entire process from pitch to final trailer has been documented. Smedley has ordered the SOE team to immediately spread the word on the trailer in hopes of creating awareness of the epic failure as well as to save industry peers from making the same mistake."

Youkilis singled twice and walked. One of those hits opened the 8th and he later came around to score the Sox's only run. Yook, as the potential tying run, made the last out, popping to Cano at second.
Lowell had an RBI single and a double, extending his hitting streak to 14 games. He also made two more errors at third base. ... Manny did not hit a fair ball all day -- two walks and two strikeouts.
Rivera got his first save of the year -- in the Yankees' 22nd game.
1st Inning: Lugo lined the first pitch of the game off Karstens's right knee. He crumbled to the ground, but stayed in. Youkilis lined a single to left on a 3-1 pitch and Torre came out to get him. Igawa -- the guy the Yankees pulled from the rotation before this series -- is coming in.
Either Kartsens is really hurt or Torre is just bringing in the lefty to face Ortiz.
Tim Wakefield (2.08) / Jeff Karstens (14.54), 4 PM
Is it wise to gloat on April 28? Who cares! It's fun!
The Yankees have lost seven straight games for the first time since 2000. Looking at the standings this morning, only two teams have a worse record: Kansas City (7-16) and Washington (8-15).
Johnny Damon: "Every game is a must win for us now, even though it's April." ... Is it time for the P word?
They have not lost seven in a row in April since 1989 (the glory days of Don Slaught, Alvaro Espinoza, Andy Hawkins and Dale Mohorcic). One of my favorite Yankee Stadium memories from that time was a couple of loudmouths giving Mohorcic the business as he imploded on the mound, screaming out a perversion of his last name: "More Horseshit! More Horseshit!" It was hilarious, it drowned out everything else in the park and it went on for quite a while. (The 1989 Yankees lost seven in a row again that year, in mid-July.)
The Yankees lead MLB with 124 runs scored, but have allowed 117 runs, 6th worst in MLB. Their expected W-L record is 11-10, but they are 8-13. Why? Cliff Corcoran at Bronx Banter says it comes from "losing close and winning big". Only three of the Yankees' 13 losses have been by more than two runs. (Boston's expected W-L record based on 117 RS and 77 RA is 15-7, which is also its actual record.)
Here are some pitching stats and the rank among all 30 MLB teams:
Red Sox YankeesYes, the Yankee bullpen has blown all seven of its save opportunities this month, while the Red Sox have successfully converted all eight of their chances.

Julio Lugo, on the Rivalry:
I didn't know it was going to be this intense. Every game seems like a World Series game. I heard about it, but being here I know what it is really about now.Jeter:
This is when you find out how good a team is. People ask you in spring training, 'How good is this team?' You don't know. It's easy to say you're a good team when you win six or seven in a row, but this is when you find out. It's how you bounce back.
