FIFA imposes home match ban on Iraq again

ZURICH (AP) -- Iraq has been declared off-limits again for international exhibition soccer games amid a wave of deadly bombings.

Soccer's governing body says it wrote to the Iraqi Football Association and confirmed "the suspension to authorize international friendly matches in the Iraqi territory."

On Tuesday, the latest wave of attacks killed at least 49 people, mostly involving car bombs.

Iraq has played two exhibition games in Baghdad since FIFA lifted a ban in March that had applied since 2011. Most recently on May 27, Iraq lost 1-0 to Liberia.

Iraq remained barred from hosting competitive matches and continued to play home games in Doha, Qatar, during its failed 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Its next scheduled home match is an Asian Cup qualifier in October against Saudi Arabia.

Dell mulls entry into wearable tech, says tablet sales aren't so hot

Wearable technology is all the rage these days, and Dell isn't immune to the peer pressure: its global VP of personal computing, Sam Burd, tells the Guardian that his company is "exploring ideas" in the field. While it's not clear just how serious plans would be at this stage, Burd notes that the idea of a Dell smartwatch is alluring. He can't champion his firm's tablet sales, however. Dell has reportedly sold just "hundreds of thousands" of Windows 8 and RT slates like the Latitude 10 and XPS 10. The executive predicts a sales boost as corporate customers adapt to Windows' new interface, but he's cautious -- he believes that the young platform has to grow before clients (and rivals) take notice.

Home prices rise by most in seven years in May: CoreLogic

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Home prices racked up their biggest annual gain in more than seven years in May, with more increases expected through the summer months as the sector continues to mend, data analysis firm CoreLogic said on Tuesday.

Prices rose 2.6 percent from April and were up 12.2 percent compared to May last year, the biggest year-over-year increase since February 2006, CoreLogic said.

Excluding distressed sales, prices were up 11.6 percent on a yearly basis. Distressed sales include properties that have been seized by lenders and short sales, where the struggling homeowner is allowed to sell the property for less than the outstanding mortgage.

The recovery in the housing sector has gained momentum this year, with tight inventory pushing prices higher. Still, prices nationally remain cheap compared to during the housing boom, which has spurred demand from investors and homeowners.

The acceleration in prices compared to a year ago was in line with the closely watched S&P-Case/Shiller report which showed prices rose more than 12 percent on an annual basis in April.

"Across the country, pent up demand and continued low interest rates are fueling strong demand for a limited inventory of properties," Anand Nallathambi, CoreLogic's chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"We expect that trend to continue to drive up prices throughout the balance of the summer months."

The report forecast prices will rise by another 2.9 percent in June for a yearly gain of 13.2 percent.

Nevada saw the biggest price increases, followed by California, Arizona, Hawaii and Oregon.
