No one is happier to see Gerren Griffin back at JMU football practice, than Griffin himself.
The junior started the Dukes' first four games at weak safety this season, but hasn't played since the Appalachian St. game because of a rare eye infection.
At one point last month, head coach Mickey Matthews worried that Griffin's season might be over, and that he might even lose sight in the eye.
But the eye has cleared up, and on Monday Griffin was cleared to resume practicing with his teammates, which he did Tuesday.
"I was just waiting, because I knew I had a chance to come back eventually," says Griffin. "And now I'm just ready to do what it takes to help the team. If that's special teams, I mean, I'd be a cheerleader, if that's what it takes to win the national championship."
"I would anticipate Gerren's going to play pretty well. He's a really smart guy," says Matthews. "I think he's going to play pretty well, but we'll have to see. That's why it's a good time to get him back, on the open week."

Diplomat Freekey Zekey recently discussed the relevance of mixtapes in hip-hop, and how Dipset paved the way for artists like 50 Cent to follow suit with their own underground movements.
According to Zekey, the Dips ignited and started the mixtape revolution.
"We started the mixtape regime," Zekey promised in an interview. "We started all of that. Everybody's got their mixtape things through the Diplomats because we actually was giving y'all free albums. A lot of times when you do a mixtape, it's called a mixtape because you're mixing the lyrics you have on a song that's already played. It's a mixture of new raps and old beats. For us, we was giving you new beats, new raps and we was killing the streets and that's how we got on and popped off so hard and 50 [Cent] followed suit and then it was a domino effect from there." (Dr. Jays)
In 2009, 50 Cent shared his mixtape secrets and detailed how he teamed with Hot 97 radio deejay Mister Cee to make old-school themed underground projects like Sincerely Yours and Forever King.
"It'll be some more records there playing," 50 said in an interview. "Mister Cee plays a lot of that music still, 'Old School At Noon.' I had Cee send me a CD that he thought would be hot to hear. Even some of his favorites, I listen to 'em and production-wise, I wanted them to still meet what the youthful audience feels is hot right now. So some of those records, some of the things they were saying was cool that I could have wrote from that perspective like writing a remix is easy. Like writing a song that already has the context of the song already there is easy for me. Then it's not process, it's just putting the words to the scenario. If you have a production plan but no idea where you're going or what to write, that's when it starts to get difficult. Mixtape material is easy for me. Two days, three days, [I record it]. I know who I'm talking to." (MTV)
Last year, fellow New York rapper Fabolous spoke on whether or not mixtape releases had run their course.
"The Drake [So Far Gone] mixtape of course was a huge success," Fab explained in an interview. "Lil Wayne's tape generated a lot of interest. I saw Wayne and just listening to his tape gave me kinda the feeling that people still accepted the mixtapes and wanted to hear it. I guess it's particular artists that they attach to but I had felt even with the most high-class artists, people were getting so used to getting free music that the mixtape game wasn't that influential anymore. So when I seen what [Wayne's] No Ceilings did, it let me see that there's still definitely potential there, there's still that market there. I think for me it's definitely there because my albums tend to be a little more mainstream than my mixtapes." (Real Talk NY)
While he believes mixtapes are declining in popularity, Fab previously said there were ways to help bring them to new heights.
"That game is really saturated," Fab said in an interview about the mixtapes. "I feel like you really have to do something special now, but there's not really anything special you can do on a mixtape besides trying different things musically or with the way you distribute it…There's nothing special to me about a mixtape now…There's pretty much one coming out every five minutes. Right now, I think the dopest thing is to have a mixtape online–don't even have a hard disc, because even that's slowed down. When was the last time someone went somewhere and bought a hard copy of a mix CD? So maybe the next step is to release something digitally and tie it in with that." (Hip Hop DX)

Mineola resident George Sommer can never forget the morning in 1982, when he awoke to learn that nine teenagers had been killed when a van in which they were riding was struck by an LIRR train at the now defunct Herricks Road train crossing, after the van's driver went around lowered gates.
Sommer's son was supposed to be with them in the van, but Sommer kept him home to do school work.
Although the crossing is now raised and is no longer a danger to errant drivers, Sommer, who was a highway engineer, believes one fatal flaw remains: the lack of a "crash cushion" at the south end of the traffic divider.
The area, which had once been named the most dangerous in the country by the National Transportation Safety Board, prompted the Long Island Rail Road to raise the track in 1994. The $25 million project was completed in 1999. An NTSB report also said that the van's driver had "driven around a properly functioning lowered gate with flashing lights onto the crossing."
For more than a decade prior, the crossing was "popular" for its traffic jams and impatient drivers.
"I wanted [the schoolwork] done and if he got it done during the week, he'd have Friday off," Sommer said. "He didn't and so I kept him home. He didn't give me a hard time. The following morning I woke up and heard the commotion."
Sommer recognized some movement, but feels much is left to be done.
"They removed all the shredded guardrails, the metal guardrails on either side of the barrier," he said. "All the crumbled stuff underneath and the three or four orange barrels were previously positioned."
Crash cushions serve as a velocity dampener to crashing cars. According to Sommer, they absorb the shockwaves and prevent cars from converging on the other side of the road.
"I see a risk there that was never taken care of," he said. "I know from experience where we put these crash cushions to eliminate any dangerous action when a car goes errant or someone gets killed or maimed."
Herricks Road is a Nassau County road and is subject to county jurisdiction. According to spokesman Michael Martino, when the road markings at the underpass are complete within the next week, crash attenuators will be put in place. He confirmed that county road maintenance crews would monitor the condition of the attenuators on a regular basis.

Thanksgiving is a holiday, a festival, celebration and food fest. Tradition says the first Thanksgiving feast was celebrated by pilgrims and Native Americans back in 1621 to give thanks for their harvest after a harsh winter. Over a century later, George Washington, the nation's first president, issued a Thanksgiving proclamation in 1789.
Fast forward to 21st century—the modern day Thanksgiving has come a long way since then. What has not changed however is the shared elaborate meal consumed with family and friends in the same spirit of celebration and giving thanks for the blessings.

In their semifinals home playoff game, the 9-year-old Mineola Chiefs (7-2) shut out perennial power Seaford Broncos 21-0.
The Chiefs defense, the strength of the team, was lights out, making gang tackles all over the field. The defensive line of Charlie Villa, Luigi Kaloudis, Michael Nygaard, Luke Ruiz, John Jochym, Zachary Bohringer, Johnny Kessler, Zakria Zulfiqar and Jack McCormack kept the pressure on Seaford's offense all game long. The Linebackers John Viggiani and Nick Rios attacked the runners and finished off the Broncos.

How Do You Plan on Enjoying Concord Grapes This Fall?
Delicious Links
Concord grapes are starting to creep into the farmers market and grocery stores signaling that fall has officially arrived. I could not be more excited to get my hands on some.

These four bloggers have some excellent ideas for how to use them right now.
Late-Summer Treat: Turn Your Watermelon Into a Pizza!

It seems late in the season for watermelon, but I'm still seeing a few at my local farmers market. If you've eaten enough fruit salads, smoothies, or desserts with watermelon to last the rest of the year, try turning your watermelon into a pizza! Feta, basil, and mint are BFFS with watermelon, so this killer combination makes for the perfect "pizza" topping.

Here Is a Perfect Tomato Risotto to Make Before Tomatoes Vanish
Delicious Links
I've had simple pasta dishes on the brain recently. Not necessarily ones that are incredibly easy to make, but that are characterized by a few simple, fresh ingredients that make you warm from the inside out. As tomato season comes to an end in New York (can you hear the sad trombone?) you best believe I want hold on to this risotto and never let go.
This Is the Coolest Way to Drink a Negroni
Delicious Links
It's pretty hard to mess up a Negroni at home. This cocktail is traditionally comprised of equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, or double the gin if you're getting a little crazy. It's stirred, not shaken, and garnished with an orange twist.
This Negroni sphere, however, is different. The cocktail is not just a frozen sphere. The outside is ice, but the inside is liquid, just waiting to be cracked open and consumed. Can you guess how the blogger made this? It's easier than you might think.
Definitive Proof That Honey and Lime Are Meant to Be Together
Delicious Links
There are always limes in my apartment. I cut them up and add them to seltzer water; I squeeze their juice into my favorite cocktails; and I always have a wedge or two for Mexican night. Lime by itself is a more aggressive and less versatile flavor than lemon, but when it is mixed with honey you can basically add it to anything you want. These four recipes are proof that these two ingredients belong together.
Hold On to Summer With This Watermelon Strawberry Sangria
Delicious Links
It's not fall yet, people! We still have a couple more weeks of summer to enjoy. Besides, I'm really not ready for sweater-weather. It was super hot this past weekend in New York, and all I wanted was something cold and boozy, with some fruit. This dazzling red drink with watermelon and strawberries is my late-summer soulmate.

It's not so difficult if it's pure Python and you're not compiling anything. The main problem was getting Qt to compile so I could compile my extensions. For your project, I'd make a virtual machine with something like WinXP (this makes it easier to make new releases if nothing changes), install Python and the associated PySide. Install any other modules you need. I used PyInstaller to make the runnable exe file. See e.g. here for my pyinstaller file. I then used NSIS to make an installer using this configuration file.
Well, there's Visual Studio Express 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012. That's not so hard. You will want to use 2012 since that is the latest.
In theory, though Python is compiled with a particular version of Visual Studio. It's rather hard to compile for yourself, as the latest versions aren't supported. Extensions have to be compiled with the same version as Python or you get cross-compatibility C library problems. This makes it tricky if you want to link a Python extension (an old Visual Studio version) against Qt (perhaps mingw when I looked at it). I ended up having to compile everything against the version of Visual Studio that Python was built with.
Don't use the registry. DLLs =
I try to avoid the registry, but you have to at least register file types there and Qt uses it to store settings be default. DLLs weren't too bad until I got to the stage of manifests and conflicting crt versions.
It can be very difficult. My scientific plotting package, veusz, was written using Python and Qt, so it should be easily portable. However setting up a sensible developer environment on Windows to compile the Python C extensions was a nightmare. Windows is pretty developer-hostile if you're used to Linux. Trying to find and install the correct version of Visual Studio Express was difficult. I had to learn far too many things about the registry, DLLs, building installers, etc. Mac OS X was rather more difficult, however. You have to download the massive Xcode and the non-standard way that Mac OS packages executables and libraries was very difficult to understand. It took a long time to get fat binaries working.
You do get a different class of user on Windows and Mac OS X, however. The Linux people are closer to being knowledgeable about development, whereas Windows and Mac OS people are primarily users, wanting more help and hand-holding.
You know it is entirely possible to write 2.7 code that works with nothing more than a pass through 2to3. That does mean that any libraries you depend on are available for 3.x but the problem of lacking support from 3rd party libraries is beginning to diminish as more are ported over at an increasing rate.
It's also possible to write code for 2.6/2.7 which works fine with 3.3+. With the aid of the six module or similar ideas you can work around the differences. Many people think this is the best way to have joint compatibility with python 2 and 3. It also makes it possible to do the development with python3, which running 2to3 doesn't allow. As others have mentioned, there is no good 3to2.
Did they upgrade away from Gnome3, network-manager and systemd? If not, why should we even look at it?
Fedora is actually a very good KDE distribution.
The minimum design lifetime isn't the actual lifetime of the mission. I believe there is enough helium for three years, but the multistage cooler is designed to be able to run in the event of coolant loss. ASTRO-H replaces ASTRO-E2 which suffered a catastrophic coolant loss. There are more details here, but it's behind a paywall.
The forthcoming ASTRO-H X-ray observatory mission will have a cooling system that will be able to run without coolent. The X-ray microcalorimeter detectors must be cooled down to 50 mK in temperature. ASTRO-H should be launched in 2014.
p>No CAT Scan, MRI or Cancer drugs would have been invented without patents to give the inventors time to make their years of investment back by a period of exclusivity.
Really? Most fundamental medical advances are created in academia, mostly with public money. Many companies just take the relatively small step to a commercial product. William H. Oldendorf would have done his pioneering work on the CAT scan, whether there was a patent system or not. Indeed, looking at his wikipedia biography, he worked in public institutions for most of his life.
It has been one of the wettest ever Junes here in the UK and it is still raining heavily. When it is not raining it's heavy cloud. Although that's stereotypical weather here, it's more like what you'd expect in the winter. I'm feeling like an extra in Waterworld and shall shortly be growing gills... The problems started when drought measures were brought in to combat falling water reserves.
the effect of radio frequency exposure upon living tissue (approximatly none) is well-studied and understood.
Oh really? I trust that you will now go home and put your head in a microwave oven for a few minutes. Of course some radio waves are harmless and some are harmful, it's just a question of where the boundary lies. Given that you're unlikely to have a smart meter sitting next to you all day, it's pretty unlikely to be harmful.
As mentioned below, it can play 1080P video:
The dark matter in the universe started with a random fluctuation field - see the pictures of the cosmic background radiation. The random distribution gives a tidal torque on matter, giving it angular momentum. As the dark matter collapses into smaller and smaller regions, the angular momentum is conserved. When smaller sub-units of matter collide together the momentum will also build up. See Peebles 1969 for one of the first papers.
The typical page layout program is nothing more than an electronic light table for cutting and pasting documents.

An elderly man is in police custody after an elderly woman was found stabbed to death in her North Side Edgewater neighborhood apartment Wednesday afternoon.
Police conducting a well-being check at the apartment in the 1300 block of West Thorndale found the woman stabbed multiple times about 12:10 p.m., News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said.
Detectives believe the stabbing is domestic-related and an "elderly male" was taken into custody, police said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's office confirmed the death, but was not releasing the woman's name. Police did not yet have exact ages for the woman or the person in custody.
Area North detectives are conducting a homicide investigation.

I happen to think Kershaw County is a pretty great place to be. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't be living here.
What impact did Russian squirrels have on a particular profession?
You find them in all walks of life. They might be playing outfield for the Philadelphia Phillies (Shane Victorino). Or hosting the show "Dirty Jobs" for the Discovery Channel (Mike Rowe). Or founding Wal-Mart (Sam Walton). Or even becoming president of the United States (Gerald Ford).
NEW YORK -- I think it is fair to say that the shark has been permanently displaced by the dog.
Religion is one of those topics that is fun to discuss because people are so intransigent. It's the one topic I like to go too far with because it can be so divisive, when the goal is to unite.
A class action suit filed by two black men in Nashville claims "The Bachelor" turned them away because they were not white. I think they should feel relieved. Having the right to embarrass yourself on national television doesn't mean you actually should do it.
Random thoughts on a spring afternoon:
WASHINGTON -- I take a back seat to no one when it comes to loving dogs. For that matter, my dog takes a back seat to no one.
With the search for Mitt Romney's running mate officially getting underway, an old name has resurfaced that may leave some voters with a sour stomach.
Supporters of the protests that followed the suspicious death of Trayvon Martin are raising a good question: What next?
I think Wednesday, April 18, 2012, will be one of those dates I might have a hard time forgetting: the day we said so long to Dick Clark for the last time.
According to a February 2012 report, "Inaccurate, Costly and Inefficient: Evidence that America's Voter Registration System Needs an Upgrade," from the Pew Center on the States, indicates that one in eight registrations is inaccurate or out-of-date in some way. Nationwide, Pew reports that nearly 2 million deceased individuals are listed as voters, and approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.
Camden native Ford Graham, who's going to live in Germany as head of South Carolina's European industrial recruitment efforts, says he's going to convert natives of that country to boiled peanuts.
When older people talk about the Depression years -- before, during, and after -- they always talk about hard times, what they did not have. Actually, they have seemingly forgotten the positive sides. People can either remember the good times or the bad. In reality, hard times were really easy.
At the recent National League of Cities conference, Leslie Wollack, program director for federal relations, placed Camden in "good company" with other cities nationwide when he noted the importance of local infrastructure. As Camden continues to operate with a balanced budget, I believe infrastructure is a primary focus.
A long, long time ago... oh, wait, that's another pop culture reference.
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.
As a part of writing this column, I go to lots of meetings, community events and conferences all across the state in my never ending search to find out about the people, businesses and community groups that are doing good and important things to make our state better.
• "Glenn," writes my friend Waylon Fortenberry of Chesterfield County, "I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out."
WASHINGTON -- News that Pope Francis will visit the U.S. next year for the triennial World Meeting of Families brings elation to Catholics, excitement to pope watchers -- and perhaps a little chagrin to some who too soon interpreted Francis' broad compassion as a precursor to doctrinal changes related to marriage.
This space in the Friday edition of the Chronicle-Independent each week is where I am allowed to share my personal stories, opinions and basically whatever is on my mind as I write this column. I know I complain about a lot of things and, eventually, the time may come when I have covered everything that aggravates me and the rest of the columns in my career won't be the kind where you can imagine me pounding my fist on my desk as you read them. But, if that day ever does come, it's a long way off.
In 2008, a group of graduate students from the University of South Carolina's Public History Program produced a study entitled, "The Camden African-American Heritage Project." It was the product of a student group assignment conducted in 2005-06. The students were assisted by many Camden residents in their search for the history of African-Americans in Camden from the Colonial period through the era of civil rights. Though able to spend only one semester researching and writing, the students pulled together an admirable overview of the lives of African-Americans here. In their final recommendations they suggested, among other things, that an ...
I try to live life as a journey full of unknown destinations. And I do believe it is the journey that matters most. During the last year, I was blessed enough to experience a journey throughout our wonderful state of South Carolina. A campaign for governor is a journey through the hearts and souls of many people and places. A statewide campaign is sometimes brutal and sometimes joyful, but never dull. I treasure that journey and thank my friends in Camden and Kershaw County for letting me experience it.
WASHINGTON -- Millennials are foolhardy spendthrifts. But young people basically always are, and that's probably OK.
I used to have high and/or specific expectations for everything. I was never cynical. As a matter of fact, I was the most optimistic person I knew.

Product description
Author of "How Fiction Works "James Wood has long established himself as the leading critic of his generation. With "The Fun Stuff," he confirms his preeminence not only as a discerning judge, but also as one of fiction's most ardent appreciators. In these twenty-three sparkling dispatches, Wood offers a panoramic look at the modern novel. He effortlessly connects his encyclopedic understanding of the literary canon--casting his eye upon such crucial writers as Thomas Hardy and Leo Tolstoy--with an equally in-depth analysis of the most important authors writing today, including Cormac McCarthy, Lydia Davis, and Aleksandar Hemon. From the brilliant title essay on Keith Moon and the lost joys of drumming to Wood's incisive piece on the writings of George Orwell, "The Fun Stuff" is indispensable reading for anyone who cares about contemporary literature.

Author information
James Wood is a staff writer at "The New Yorker "and a visiting lecturer at Harvard University. He is the author of "How Fiction Works," as well as two essay collections, "The Broken Estate "and "The Irresponsible Self," and a novel, "The Book Against God."
Review quote
"Wood is one of the best readers writing today. Devouring these pieces back to back feels like having a long conversation about books with your most erudite, articulate, and excitable friend. To read his essays on the works of Norman Rush, Aleksandar Hemon, Leo Tolstoy, or Lydia Davis is to relive the specific brand of joy created by a particular work of genius. Wood's reviews are never just evaluations; more often they are passionate, sensitive discourses on the variations of authorial voice, the nature of memory, or the burden of biography. ... Wood's veneration of virtuosity reminds why we're reading at all--because we still believe that it's possible to find transcendence in great art. Isn't it fun to think so?" --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Wood is now unquestionably one of the most influential voices in contemporary literary criticism." --The Millions "Literary criticism sometimes takes itself too seriously, so it's a pleasure to see that preeminent literary critic Wood's very title reminds us what literature is really about: fun. Here he offers his heartfelt views on writers ranging from Thomas Hardy, Leo Tolstoy, and Mikhail Lermontov to Cormac McCarthy, Lydia Davis, and Michel Houellebecq. . . Get ready for some bracing delights." --Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal

About Greg and April Christie
We take great pride in our condo. We live 12 miles south so we can continuously make repairs and updates. Each winter we come in to make improvements based on our guest comments. We purchase new items constantly (just bought a nice queen bed for second bedroom). We hand picked our cleaning professional as cleanliness is VERY important to us. Our family enjoys traveling so we do our best to pay attention to the details.
Greg and April Christie purchased this condo in 2009
Why Greg and April Christie chose Grand Haven
As we have traveled around the country we have found certain characteristics of a property important to us. We feel our condo meets these important features: Best location, clean, fun activities near by, all the bells you need (blender, wireless, flat screen, deck, nice grill) and comfortable/relaxing (good beds, outdoor seating, quiet, color and comfort decorations)
What makes this condo unique
Watch the musical fountain or fireworks off the deck. Keep your bikes in a locked attached garage. Blend your favorite drink and watch the channel activity from your deck (across the street). Head to the farmers market across the street. Have the kids walk down to the skate park or big city play area. Rest on your comfortable king bed and read a book or watch your flat screen. Walk downtown and visit the many pubs/restaurants. Rent a fishing charter across the street or slip your boat there. Take the trolley down the road and watch the kite festival on the beach of beautiful Lake MI. Visit the new, large library three blocks away.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a great time at this clean, very well equipped condo. Location is amazing right downtown and overlooking the channel. We loved the two flat screens and wireless when we wanted to relax inside. The place is really decorated nice and had everything we needed. The beds were great. Big fun and a very good value!

KARK's Jessica Dean to Join Philadelphia CBS Affiliate
Jessica Dean and Blake Rutherford, Philly-bound.
KARK-TV, Channel 4, anchor Jessica Dean announced Monday that she's leaving the Nexstar Broadcasting Group-owned NBC affiliate in Little Rock to join KYW-TV, Channel 3, the Philadelphia CBS affiliate (also known as CBS Philly) in September.
The move is huge in terms of television markets: Little Rock is a No. 56-ranked TV market with 562,000 TV homes; Philadelphia is ranked No. 4 with 2.9 million homes. Dean's also joining a station owned by CBS Television Stations, a subsidiary of CBS Corporation. She replaces anchor Susan Barnett, who left the station at the end of April.
Dean, on Twitter earlier today:
I am thrilled to announce I'll be the new evening anchor @CBSPhilly with @chrismayphilly. It's been a joy to spend three years @KARK4News.— Jessica Dean (@JessicaDean) August 19, 2013
Who's @ChrisMayPhilly? Why, he's former KATV-TV, Channel 7, anchor and native Arkansan Chris May, who left the ABC affiliate way back in 1998. The two will no doubt have plenty of old home stories to talk about; Dean also worked as a reporter for KATV before joining KARK in 2010.
Obviously, Dean and husband Blake Rutherford will be moving to Philadelphia soon. Rutherford has had a job change of his own this year, leaving the state attorney general's office for a job at McLarty Companies as a vice president. Rutherford says he'll continue working for McLarty, which does plenty of business in Washington D.C. and New York, which are both quickly accessible from Philly.
More: Ashley Ketz will replace Jessica Dean, accoriding to KARK.

Depression is an actual illness that can affect the body, the mood, or thoughts. It eventually affects how a person eats or sleeps, how she feels about herself, or the way she thinks. Without treatment, the symptoms of depression can last for weeks, months, or years.
Experts estimate that about 15 million people experience depression each year, and the majority of those are women. Unfortunately, almost two-thirds of those suffering do not get the help they need.

"This recipe is very simple but sometimes the mixture might not be stiff enough or stick to the board. So you have to sprinkle flour to the mixture until it is stiff enough and will not stick on your fingers."

Construction spending in the U.S. rose more than double it was expected to in November, indicating the industry helped boost growth at the end of 2011, according to a Bloomberg report.
Building outlays increased 1.2 percent, exceeding the median estimate of 46 economists in a Bloomberg survey that called for a 0.5 percent gain, Commerce Department figures showed. The October reading was revised down to show a 0.2 percent drop from a previously projected 0.8 percent increase, showing the initial data are susceptible to swings in direction.
Recent gains in the housing market, spurred in part by mortgage rates near record lows, are helping the construction industry recover from the 18-month recession that ended in June 2009. Public expenditures also climbed during the month, a sign that budget constraints may be easing.
"Residential construction and even business construction have been favorable," said Russell Price, a senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Inc. "I expect that to continue."
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a drop of 0.6 percent to an increase of 1.4 percent.
Private construction spending climbed 1 percent in November from the prior month to $522 billion, the highest level since December 2009. Homebuilding outlays increased 2 percent, including a 2.6 percent gain in home improvement. Expenditures on single-family and multifamily housing also improved.
