LEOMINSTER -- Sharon Kubik decided two years ago that her small three-bedroom gambrel house wasn't big enough for her, her husband and her three sons. "I wanted a garage. I am too old to be shoveling snow off my car at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning," Kubik, 44, said while standing outside her home. "I was tired of sharing a bathroom with three boys." The family's 1,632 square-foot, two-story house on Birchcroft Road had three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms. The Kubiks searched for a contractor to build an addition onto their home, but they couldn't find one they liked. So they put their house up for sale and began looking for a bigger home, hoping to stay in the city. "But I wasn't objecting to moving outside of Leominster," Kubik said. But Kubik found something wrong with all the houses they looked at, and she began to worry about uprooting her sons -- Daniel, 20, Julian, 16, and Bradley, 12.
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- India's industrial production rose less than expected in August as monsoon rains hampered construction and forced factories to close. Production at factories, utilities and mines rose 9.7 percent from a year earlier from a revised 12.7 percent in July, the Central Statistical Organisation said in a statement in New Delhi. The median estimate of 14 economists in a Bloomberg survey was for a gain of 10.5 percent. Economists expect industrial production to strengthen in September, the end of the monsoon season, buoyed by government spending on infrastructure and record loan growth. India's government counts on industrial production of at least 10 percent to meet its growth targets. ``The slowdown in industrial production in August is a blip caused by floods,'' said N.
