In the Child Development and Language Lab, Dr.
Spencer and her team conducts research with young children with disabilities
and children who are at risk of language and reading problems. Families,
teachers and other professionals are often involved in their studies. Researchers
employ high quality experimental designs to determine the effects of innovative
classroom and behavioral interventions and clinical treatments. They develop
and validate practitioner-friendly measurement tools. Dr. Spencer recruits
undergraduate and graduate students from education, psychology, and
communication science to be research assistants and work collaboratively on
projects. Student researchers receive mentorship from Dr. Spencer in both
research and practice and get hands-on experience with children.
Dr. Spencer currently serves as the Research Director
at the Institute for Human Development (IHD) and has an associate research
faculty appointment in the Department of Educational Psychology at Northern
Arizona University. She earned a specialist degree in School Psychology and a
PhD in Disability Disciplines from Utah State University with emphases in
language development and early childhood special education. She has been a
board certified behavior analyst since 2001. Dr. Spencer has worked with
culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse children as well as
children with disabilities, their teachers, and their families for 15 years.
She has published 31 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 5 book chapters, and
22 non-peer reviewed articles, briefs, or encyclopedia entries. Her
publications and editorial service span a number of disciplines including
speech-language pathology, early childhood education, special education,
applied linguistics, and school psychology. Benefiting from strong
collaborations with practitioners and other researchers, Dr. Spencer maintains
a spirited research agenda to improve reading comprehension and academic
outcomes of the nation's most vulnerable students. Specifically, she has
developed screening, curriculum-based measurement, and intervention tools so
that schools can implement a multi-tiered system of language support to
complement schools' decoding efforts. Finally, Dr. Spencer writes extensively
on evidence-based practice and promotes interdisciplinary, collaborative
relationships among clinicians, educators, and researchers.

Battle of Novara, (March 23, 1849), battle of the first Italian War of Independence in which 70,000 Austrian troops under Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky thoroughly defeated 100,000 poorly trained Italian troops (not all of whom were actually employed in the battle) under Charles Albert, king of Sardinia-Piedmont. It was fought at Novara, 28 miles (45 km) west of Milan, 11 days after Charles Albert had denounced the armistice that he had signed the previous August after his defeat at the first Battle of Custoza. This new defeat, a result of Radetzky's military superiority and Piedmont's lack of support from the smaller Italian states, led to a treaty on Aug. 9, 1849, which included an indemnity of 65 million francs to be paid to Austria. The defeat also led to the abdication of Charles Albert in favour of his son Victor Emmanuel II.

Inch by inch, day by day, Scott Carey is getting smaller. Once an unremarkable husband and father, Scott finds himself shrinking with no end in sight. His wife and family turn into unreachable giants, the family cat becomes a predatory menace, and Scott must struggle to survive in a world that seems to be growing ever larger and more perilous, until he faces the ultimate limits of fear and existence.
©1956 Richard Matheson; (P)2006 Blackstone Audiobooks
"A horror story if ever there was one....A great adventure story, it is certainly one of that select handful that I have given to people, envying them the experience of the first reading." (Stephen King)
"A classic of suspense as poignant as it is frightening, a mix that only Richard Matheson could pull off." (Dean Koontz)
Gripping, tense, thought provoking, well written, outstanding narration. A metaphorical exploration of one mans rage against a world seemingly determined to bring him down. This book is about anger, hope, courage, defeat and redemption. Ignore the "b-grade" allusions of the title, this book is literature of the highest quality.
"What would it Really be like..."
To slowly and actually shrink. From 6 ft, to 3 ft, to 1 ft, then to an inch, less than an inch. How would you get food? How would you get water? How would you feel? This is what Richard Matheson does so well.... create incredible circumstances, put real people in them, and describe the reality of how they feel and survive. If your expecting something cute like Honey I Shrunk the Kids, then move on. This book dwells deep into the emotional drain on the main character who is actually shrinking. It explores his fear, desperation, anger, and loneliness (don't worry, there's also plenty of adventure and excitement).
I loved this book, and highly recommend it for a fun and at times emotional read. The narration was also very well done.
"A Dark, Thought-Provoking Psychological Journey"
This novel tells the story of Scott Carey who, because of exposure to a cloud of radioactive spray shortly after he had accidentally ingested insecticide, ends up shrinking at a rate of approximately 1/7 of an inch per day. He encounters all kinds of perils as he diminishes, from a drunken pedophile to sadistic street toughs, from the spider in the basement to the elements themselves, but this is first and foremost a psychological novel about the uncertainty of the individual in the 1950s and his/her place in the possibly futile, certainly alien post-war world.
For example: "What he wanted to know was this: Was he a separate, meaningful person; was he an individual? Did he matter? Was it enough just to survive? He didn't know; he didn't know. It might be that he was a man and trying to face reality. It might also be that he was a pathetic fraction of a shadow, living only out of habit, impulse-driven, moved but never moving, fought but never fighting."
This is a tense, frustrated, dark character study, and it's made all the better by an excellent narration that captures the frustration and fear of the protagonist very effectively.
"I had to give up on the narration..."
I actually thought the story was pretty good, although it had a little more profanity than I would have liked. The struggles Scott Carey faced were described in great detail, even to the point of emphasizing things we all take for granted. To try to put yourself in his place is unimaginable, but Matheson makes you ponder it to an unsettling level. At times it was engrossing, at other times it lagged a little, but I enjoyed the read.
That's the main point of my review here on audible, I stopped listening to the audiobook about midway through and just read the rest of the book. The narrator was so over the top, his voice changes so corny, that he just kept taking away all the tension from the story. Vaudevillian is how I would describe it, definitely not right for this story. I'd recommend you read the book, but I'd skip the narration.
"Science Fiction Classic"
The Shrinking Man is akin to Kafka's Metamorphosis ... It speaks wonderfully to 1950's post-war paranoia of the self and natural world.
Matheson should be required reading, and his Twilight Zone episodes include some of the best TV ever produced.
"Great coming of age story"
This is a simple story about a man who thinks he's going mad because he starts to get shorter little by little. No 'Spoilers' here. The story follows through the process of him shrinking and shrinking with all the trials he must face. Fear, terror, loneliness, and betrayal. He learns to deal with all of them He also becomes much more as a result of his 'transformation'.
"Chemicals, Sex and Violence"
Written in 1956, this book is crying out for a new screenplay. The anger and frustration of a man beset by an unknown physical happening to his body becomes a mental journey into what it means to be human and the search for a reason to live in the face of consuming despair.
This book was like no other book that I have read, it has a lot of metaphors. For the deep thinkers
"One of my favorites! Took me a bit to enjoy the narration."
The Incredible Shrinking Man has been a favorite of my since my youth. The story of a man Shrinking by 1/7 of an inch each day is really just a metaphor Matheson uses to tell a tale of a man who slowly loses inch by inch everything society, as well as himself accept as being manhood. In this audio performance I was initially put off by the narrator, Yuri Rasovsky, his voice sounding a bit lisping, but I stuck with it and by the third or fourth chapter I came to except him as not just a narrator, but as the main character, Scott Carey himself. Telling the tale of these events in his life.
If you enjoy character driven classic sci-fi, or if like me, you love the writings of Richard Matheson, you can't go wrong giving this audio book a listen.
""I'm Shrinking! I'm Shrinking!""
This is a haunting story. Yes, I think I would listen to it again...
At times, some of the "Shrinking Man's" thoughts and experiences are very hard to listen to, i.e., his anger, his frustrations, and some of his sexual fantasies and obsessions.
The author hasn't left any situations or mental states out. It is a compelling tale.
I might skip some of the places that were uncomfortable for me to listen to.
It was longer than I originally expected.
What I liked what seeing the spiritual side of the character's perception of his experience. His "growth" as a person was in proportion to his physical shrinking.
I have always loved the movie, "Somewhere in Time." I would like to read/listen to the original book.
Matheson is a conjurer who raises questions in your mind about "reality," and the imagination.
Definitely want to read/listen more samples of his work.
OMG. Mr. Rasovsky's voice is amazing. Listening to this narrator is what continually compelled me to finish this book.
His voice was perfect to complement this eerie story.
The spiritual revelations at the end of the book, and positive outlook that the character experiences in his life, in spite of all the troubles he experienced.
I saw the movie, "The Incredible Shrinking Man," when I was 6 years old.
I never forgot this haunting film.
Several years ago, I spotted a black widow spider outside a friend's home, and moved it (via a small branch) to a tree. I had been intrigued by the scene in the movie with the main character fighting the giant black widow. Seeing a live one, I saw how graceful it was.
I haven't watched the movie again, but am so glad I discovered the audio book. So many facets of the story not included in the movie would have been impossible for me to understand as a little girl.
I never forgot the last scenes when the character is united with the universe.
The book has given me a new insight into the movie, and why I never forgot it.
Having thoroughly enjoyed a previous Richard Matheson story (I Am Legend - also on audible) I was anxious to see if his other work could measure up to its standards. This story is exciting, intriguing and exceptionally well paced. My initial concerns over the narrator were quickly put to rest as after a while you sink into the story. Incredible!
Having listened to several other Matheson audiobooks (I Am Legend, Somewhere in Time, A Stir of Echoes, Hell House, What Dreams May Come) I was expecting more. The inspection of the main characters changing relationship with his family was typical Matheson but his 'adventures' around the cellar were, at times, uninteresting. At times, I found my mind wandering only for me to snap out of it and reach for the rewind button in case I'd missed a good bit. Not his best.
"A Song From Under The Floorboards"
A little above the middle. It's a reasonably interesting science fiction novel from the mid 20th century.
It's a book that everybody knows the film version of, and I'm often intrigued to know what originally happened in these cases. The film is actually pretty faithful to the book, aside from the structure and the chronology. Whereas the film tends to focus on the physical dangers of becoming ever smaller, the book explores the psychological and emotional aspects more. It's good to get both, but on balance the film is more inventive, and its straightforward linear narrative works better than the jumping-between-two-timelines approach in the book.
The science is complete horses' hooves - the square-cube issues are ignored, and the biological explanation for shrinking probably wouldn't convince a biologist - but that's okay because it's the "what if?" of the story.
I'm being perversely literal here, but I'm going for Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and even more so the Magazine song it inspired (see headline).
The song's chorus goes, "This is a song from under the floorboards/This is a song from where the wall is cracked/My force of habit I am an insect/I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact." When I listened to it I used to picture the man in the cellar, lonely and tiny and preoccupied with not being eaten by a spider.
The opening of the novel has a similar vibe. The ending is more reminiscent of another Magazine song, Permafrost... but I digress.
Suffice to say it was generally clear who was speaking.
I wasn't overkeen on his reading. For about half the book he sounded as if he was talking angrily through clenched teeth. Later I realised he was trying to reflect the protagonist's mood in his voice, which didn't really work.
Not really - possibly because the reader was overdoing the emotion. If we see that somebody has undergone a tragedy, we tend to be much more sympathetic towards them if they are stoic about it, no matter how much they might be entitled to whinge.
There are some emotional moment nonetheless, notably Scott's meeting with a woman who is temporarily like himself, and the sheer unconsciousness of his wife's changing attitude towards him is convincing and distressing.
The book was originally called The Shrinking Man - no extra adjective. I don't think it needed to be retitled to reflect the film - it's not like the leap from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep to Bladerunner, is it?
"Not one of Matheson's best, but still a good story"
Probably, although I wouldn't rush to it. The plot was good, even if it took a little while to get used to it flicking back and forth between the past and present. Plenty of can't-put-it-down spells. I appreciate it isn't supposed to be a 'happy' story, but being intense from beginning to end gave a feeling of wanting to come up for air.
Won't give the story away ;-)
"Beautifully Rounded Adventure"
So much better than the film! Read with style. Very thought provoking and very honest. One of the few books I will listen to again!

Originally, I had planned a Snowman Craft for today but it's just too cold! I cannot bring myself to write a blog post about snow today. Instead, I'm sharing a little sunshine and springtime with a sweet, flower centerpiece. This Pink Posy Purse can be wrapped in an endless variety of pretty papers, and then topped in your choice of flowers. Designer Diane Flowers chose pink gerbera daisies and a pretty crystal handle. It's easy enough to make multiples for a ladies' luncheon, bridal shower, or make just one for a Mother's Day gift. I'm sharing a link to seven more springtime flower crafts, too.
To make a Pink Posy Purse, you'll need:
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam: 8″ x 4″ x 2″ block
- Decorative paper, 12″ x 12″ sheet
- Silk gerbera daisies, eight, in color of your choice
- Beaded garland with leaves, in coordinating color
- Paper glue
- Low-temp glue gun
- Tools needed: Scissors; pencil; ruler; floral shears
To make a Pink Posy Purse:
1. Trace sides and bottom of foam block onto back of decorative paper; cut out. Use paper glue to adhere paper to foam; let dry.
2. Cut a 24″ length from the garland and bend it into a handle shape. Use floral pins to secure handle ends to narrow sides of block near top edge. Dot ends with hot glue for added strength; adjust leaves to cover pins and exposed glue.
3. Trim daisy stems to 2″ long. Glue and insert stems into the top of the foam block.
I wish I could give each and every Crafts 'n Coffee readers a springtime bouquet, but this will have to do. If you need more thoughts of spring, the photo below links to an earlier round up showcasing seven more easy, springtime centerpiece designs. Enjoy!
It was -10 here last night, and here's how our little buddy kept warm. How's the weather where you are? Are you staying warm today?
Happy crafting, stay warm, and think spring!

(Recast, adds detail of 12-month deficit and FDI)
BRASILIA, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Brazil's current account deficit widened sharply in September, central bank data showed on Friday, reaching its largest 12-month gap in more than a decade as the country's trade balance suffers from lower commodity prices.
Brazil posted a current account deficit of $7.907 billion in September, its largest this year and above market expectations for a gap of $7.250 billion, according to the median forecast of 19 analysts in a Reuters poll. Brazil's current account deficit in September of last year was $2.764 billion.
In the last 12 months through September, the current account deficit was equivalent to 3.70 percent of gross domestic product, its biggest gap since February of 2002.
The widening deficit threatens to surpass the central bank estimate for a $80 billion shortfall this year. So far in 2014 Brazil has averaged a monthly deficit of $7 billion.
On the other hand, foreign direct investment (FDI) has remained robust, but not enough to cover the current account deficit. So far this year, Brazil has attracted $46.215 billion in foreign direct investment while its current account deficit shot up to $62.730 billion.
In September, the country saw FDI inflows of $4.214 billion, above market expectations for $3.450 billion. (Reporting by Alonso Soto and Luciana Otoni Editing by W Simon and Chizu Nomiyama)

Patch is now applied.
+1 on the patch content.
Could you clean up the >>80 character lines?
See the attached patch:
In Incubation_Policy.xml ...
- Add sentence to distinguish between IPMC being the sponsor or a TLP.
- Move the "Acceptance of Mentors" paragraph to its own sub-section.
In Process_Description.xml ...
- Add an "Introduction" section at beginning to remind to read other documents which also explain the process.
- Add words to distinguish between IPMC being the sponsor or a TLP.
One issue seems to be that these documents do to not differentiate between the "Sponsor" being some other existing PMC or the Sponsor being the Incubator PMC (on behalf of the board). When read from the former point-of-view, they make more sense than the latter.
Craig summed it up:
"...If the Sponsor is not the incubator, then the paragraph you cited applies. If the Sponsor is the incubator, nothing else is required."
Bill's words earlier in that thread are useful:
In another thread Jukka summed it up:
"No ACK needed, as it was the Incubator PMC itself who just voted."
From those words we should be able to add an introductory paragraph in those sections to remind.
The main reference is: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Acceptance+By+Incubator
and another source of confusion is: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Process_Description.html#Acceptance

The NY Times has a great article in today's edition that confirms what I have observed and suspected. There is massive hiring discrimination for the 50+. Please read: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/20/business/economy/20older.html?_r=1&hp
Despite 30 years experience and a distinguished career in radio news plus 3 years in communications for government and non-profit firms, I can't get hired for jobs for which I know I am qualified. I've only gotten one phone interview in 11 months. It's got to be age discrimination! Just about all my friends in this age group are unemployed. I suspect that many in this age group have drifted to tea bagger and fox not news solutions. This group is huge and could be a tremendous political force if organized. I'm willing to start something in that direction or contribute to any like-minded organization that is now in place. I have one idea: How about a tax credit for hires aged 50+?

A toast to Washington's value-blend wines
Wine columnist Paul Gregutt says, blends can sop up any mix of excess grapes; there is no one-size-fits-all recipe. The combination of a catchy name, a memorable label and big flavor at a modest price is going to have the best chance of moving significant case quantities.
Special to the Seattle Times
Pick of the week
Three Rivers 2009 River's Red; $14
A NICELY focused River's Red, the 2009 is 74 percent cabernet from a mix of A-level vineyards. It shows a full mid-palate, with rich flavors of berries, cherries, hints of forest, earth, toast, juicy acids, fine-grained tannins and a lick of mocha in the finish. (Young's-Columbia distributes)
A FEW WEEKS back (remember summer!?!) I wrote about the exceptional values in white wines among the current releases from Washington wineries. Now that the leaves have turned, and our thoughts turn with them to considerations of deep reds and hearty foods, I'd like to do a quick tour of some of the value blends that you will find on your retailer's shelves.
Though this year's harvest looks to be a bit short in terms of tonnage, due to the late spring and cool summer weather, there has been something of a grape glut for the past few years. And many wineries have seen back vintages of their higher-priced wines stockpiling in warehouses. Most have dropped prices, but that isn't always enough. So they turn to the next best option, which is making proprietary blends.
These blends can sop up any mix of excess grapes; there is no one-size-fits-all recipe. The combination of a catchy name, a memorable label and big flavor at a modest price is going to have the best chance of moving significant case quantities.
There are certain important price points for wines stocked on supermarket shelves, where the competition is thickest. Hovering around $9 or $10 are the leading California brands: Menage à Trois, Apothic and Cupcake Red Velvet. Quite honestly, I've tasted them in blind flights against comparably priced Washington wines, and the Washington blends were more substantial, more complex and more authentic. By that I mean they avoided duplicating the common flavors of cheap California blends; specifically, sweet, simple fruit and a big streak of vanilla.
Washington blends, especially in the $12 to $15 range, generally show more depth and polish. There are deeper fruit flavors of black cherry and cassis, along with earthy (not veggie!) nuances that recall a more European style. Among the everyday red wines of France, Spain and Italy, for example, flavors of leaf and rock and earth and fungus abound.
Here are some recommended red blends (some labeled varietally) to try, ranked in preferential order. Note that vintages may change unexpectedly. The prices quoted are full retail and may be a little higher than the actual selling price.
Olsen Estates 2008 Red Wine; $15. A red Rhône-style blend based on syrah, all estate-grown. Deep black fruits, thick streaks of composty loam, veins of coffee and licorice, and penetrating, fully ripe tannins.
Seven Hills 2008 Planing Mill Red; $16. Firm and tartly wound, with cassis and black cherry at the core of a young, stiffly tannic, cabernet-based blend.
O• S 2007 Red; $18. A nice follow-up to the 2006 Red, which was a featured pick a year ago. Merlot, cabernet, cab franc and a splash of petit verdot make for an edgy wine with good grip and substantial tannins.
Saviah Cellars 2009 The Jack Cabernet Sauvignon; $15. Forward and fruity with black cherry hard-candy flavors. It adds just the barest hint of earth and fungus, giving it some welcome depth and detail.
Saviah Cellars 2009 The Jack; $15. A merlot-based red blend, aged in American oak. Strawberries and plums dance into a detailed wine with fine-grained tannins and a pleasing herbal streak.
Boomtown 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon; $15. Solid fruit anchors this value offering. A fairly tannic wine, it's loaded with herbal highlights along with licorice, clove, vanilla and tobacco.
Milbrandt Vineyards 2008 Traditions Merlot; $15. This has assertive vanilla and tobacco flavors, but also shows substantial berry and cherry fruit at the heart of the wine.

A woman died Tuesday after apparently trying to stop a tow truck driver from repossessing her vehicle, authorities said.
Lisa Via, 42, came out of her Chino Hills mobile home as driver Leo Song backed his tow truck to her driveway and lifted her 2002 Buick, San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller said.
Song told detectives that Via asked him not to take her car, and that he told her he had to take it.
"There was no confrontation, she came out and asked him not to take it and he said I'm sorry I have to," Miller said.
Song said he lost sight of Via and assumed she had moved away as he pulled the car, but the woman's husband approached him and said his wife was trapped under the Buick.
Miller said Song stopped the truck and got out a floor jack to lift the Buick off Via.
She was rushed to the hospital with traumatic injuries and was pronounced dead.
Miller said a preliminary investigation has found that alcohol and drugs were not involved, and that Via's death appeared to be an accident.

If you were one of the ones that ran out and bought a Honeycomb tablet when they were first released most likely you love the user interface, but half of the fun for many of us Android users is the ability to change and tweak things to our own liking. If you happen to own the Acer Iconia Tab A500 and would like some of the enhancements that the Samsung Touch Wiz UI for tablets has to offer, you are in luck.
A popular developer over on XDA known as m-deejay has successfully ported the UI over to the A500 and from what I'm seeing it looks great. The Iconia Tab A500 just received the update to 3.1 Honeycomb and now you can spice that up even more.
They still have a few bugs that need to be worked out but aside from those they have added performance enhancements like EXT4 support, Virtuoso CPU scaling scripts, 3G modem support via Huawei USB dongle, and much more with updates coming fast. For more information and plenty of pictures of the port head over to the XDA thread via the source link below. Enjoy and as always make sure you use caution when flashing things of this nature.

What should you wear for wine tasting?
So I was watching Real Housewives of Atlanta and enjoying it to the fullest. The ladies went wine tasting and brought some other friends along with them.
I simply assumed that since the cast members of the Real Housewives crews are wealthy and two of them actually have wine lines that they push-on the Atlanta cast...I simply assumed that the women had been wine tasting before. Apparently not.
Since these ladies of privilege are not sure what to wear for wine tasting I figured that I should share with my classies wine tasting appropriate attire! No shade at all.
1. Wear comfortable shoes. First of all there is a LOT of standing and walking if you are going to more than one vineyard. So you surely want to wear very stand comfortable shoes. Also, you are drinking wine. You may be a little tipsy and high heel shoes are not recommended. Falling with a glass of wine in your hand is NOT the most pleasurable experience. For the sake of looking cute.
2. Wear comfortable pants. You are going to be drinking a lot and I recommend either very comfortable jeans or my fave wine tasting attire Yoga pants. I also like to eat a nice big meal when I am wine tasting so when I sit down to eat I want to be comfortable. Some cute yoga pants can work for you so that you can still preserve your sexiness. If you are going to wear a skirt, make sure that its comfy and longer would be better!
3. Bring a pair of shades. You will be moving from indoor experiences to outdoor experiences...so a nice set of shades is always comfortable.
4. Wear a sweater. You do not want being too cold to ruin your wine tasting experience, so make sure that you have something to throw over your shoulders. Something that you wont mind getting a little bit of red wine on it.
PS...Don't forget your SPF. Preserve your skin sexy.
What do you wear when you go wine tasting?
Classily Yours, Sharelle D. Lowery Follow Me on Twitter to talk Wine, Class and all things Fabulous!

This turned out to be a huge deal to a lot of my Indian and Pakistani friends in my High School and I will not be able to see any developments tonight. (I heard you have to get it on PPV and it's airing at 2 AM PCT so I'll be sleeping then).
One thing for sure is that these two countries hate the shit out of each other and this is going to be one huge rivalry, it's pretty much comparable to USC vs. UCLA in football multiplied by 1,000. Indian workers took their day offs, school's out for Pakistani children, even the Pakistani president is bidding for their team's victory on this moment.
From what I heard the last time they played against one another was eight years ago in the last World Cup so this probably a big deal.

Italy's economy shrank by 1.9% in 2013 but its public deficit stayed within the European Union's limit of 3% of GDP in mixed news for the country's new government, official figures have shown.
The contraction - which followed a shrinkage of 2.5% in 2012 - was slightly more than the government's forecast of 1.8%, the National Statistics Institute (ISTAT) said.
The figures suggest that new Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, who took office last month, will have to work that bit harder to ease the ills in a country hit by widespread unemployment and social malaise.
The country's deep, 2-year recession - the longest in post-war Italy, ended in the fourth quarter with 0.1% growth and Renzi has promised swift reforms to boost the flagging economy.
Italy's public debt rose to a new record of 132.6% of GDP, up from 127% in 2012 and the second highest in the euro zone after Greece.
However, the public deficit in the euro zone's third largest economy stood at 3% of GDP for the second year running, disproving fears it would breach the EU threshold.

Injury Update: Jason Anderson
Another injury blow.
Jason Anderson has, unfortunately, joined Broc Tickle and Trey Canard on the sidelines, following a crash that occurred during practice on Thursday. Anderson attempted to ride qualifying at Southwick, but completed just two laps of the first session and then elected to withdraw from the event completely.
"Bummed that I'm not gonna be able to soldier through today," he wrote on social media following that session. "Had a huge crash on Thursday. Luckily it wasn't any worse. Bad part I'm out for today. See yah [sic] at Millville!"
Anderson currently sits third in the 450MX standings, just twenty-five points down on the current series leader.

Talk:Getsuku (Fuji TV)
From DramaWiki
Sponsored links
About using tables for lists
It's a nice idea to make such special lists on dramas. But try to avoid tables if possible. Real lists may be more suitable because tables are just too difficult to edit for wiki newcomers. It's better to keep it more simple so that other editors can support you. IMHO, tables should only used for complete lists or for complex layouts. Also I think that just listing the dramas by name and year would be enough. Ratings could be included in a list too, but they should be available on the drama pages already, right? --MoerkJ 20:43, 9 Oct 2005 (EDT)
Getsuku only for Fuji TV shows?
Is Getsuku used only for Fuji TV's Monday 9 program?--Auroragb 17:43, 17 Apr 2006 (EDT)
- Y'know, I've been wondering the exact same thing ever since someone started this. Getsuku basically means "golden time". Technically, "golden time" refers to the time slot of Monday 19:00 to 22:00. But more specific it refers to the period of Monday 21:00 to 21:54, which traditionally is the most popular time slot of the entire week. And, "golden time" refers to ALL television networks - not just Fuji TV. I think some people think it refers specifically to Fuji TV because their shows have owned the number-one position in that time slot since 2004 (NTV held the number-one spot for years until 2003.)
- The "official" brand name Fuji TV uses is フジテレビ月曜9時枠の連続ドラマ, which translates to the "Fuji Television renzoku (serial) drama in the Monday 21:00 timeslot". Personally, I could care less about all this timeslot branding cr*p. Groink 19:58, 17 Apr 2006 (EDT)
- I went ahead and moved this article to Getsuku (Fuji TV), and modified Getsuku to be a disambiguation page instead. Gekku will then redirect directly to Getsuku (Fuji TV). Groink 20:58, 18 Jul 2006 (EDT)

Though the purpose of most succession plans may be transferring ownership of the operation during the owner's lifetime, many owners, for various reasons, maintain some level of ownership until death. If this is the case in your family, planning to transfer an ownership interest held at death means the transfer must also achieve other goals, including minimizing the estate tax, providing financial security for a surviving spouse and transferring the balance of ownership to the intended successors.

Ex-Blue Peter beauty Zoe Salmon declines DUP request to run in Assembly election
The DUP approached television star Zoe Salmon to run as a candidate in the forthcoming Assembly elections, the Belfast Telegraph can reveal.
The former Blue Peter presenter was earmarked by the party to contest East Belfast but declined, although it is understood that Ms Salmon is not averse to entering the political arena in the future.
With ex-First Minister Peter Robinson retiring, former Castlereagh councillor Joanne Bunting will join sitting MLAs Sammy Douglas and Robin Newton as the DUP candidates in the former leader's East Belfast constituency.
Ms Salmon, who is currently planning her wedding and has only recently finished work commitments in America, would not comment on the approach last night.
The 36-year-old actress and model got engaged to Co Down butcher William Corrie late last year and her busy schedule at present may well have influenced her decision to decline the DUP approach on this occasion.
It is understood she has been filming a television series in the US - the details of which are being kept under wraps - that will be broadcast in the UK in the coming months.
The 1999 Miss Northern Ireland is qualified as a solicitor having attained a 2:1 degree in law at Queen's University, Belfast.
Although she has never been directly involved in politics, the Bangor native has got herself embroiled in political rows several times over recent years.
In 2012 she sparked off a frenzied Twitter debate by calling for the Olympics athletics team to change its name from Team GB to Team UK, as the former appellation did not recognise Northern Ireland athletes' presence.
That same year she spoke out, again on social media, against the removal of the Union flag from Belfast City Hall 365 days a year after Belfast City Council passed a vote stating it should only be flown on designated days.
In 2005, while presenting Blue Peter, Ms Salmon selected the Red Hand of Ulster symbol as a 'Best of British' airline logo.
Her choice led to a number of complaints being filed to the BBC, including one from sociology professor David Miller, who likened paramilitary use of the Red Hand to Nazi use of the swastika. The BBC was forced to apologise to those who complained - although the GAA defended her choice as a non-sectarian symbol.
There was even a furore after Ms Salmon made her first appearance on the BBC's flagship children's programme, with the corporation receiving complaints that her job had been advertised only in Northern Ireland, thus potentially discriminating against people with certain regional accents.
The BBC denied this and insisted the advert had been placed throughout the UK. Zoe, who is a huge fan of the monarchy, appeared in pantomine as Cinderella at the Theatre Royal in Windsor at the end of last year.
Among the royals in the audience during one of the Bangor beauty's performances were Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex.
She got engaged to the 30-year-old William from Newtownards during a romantic holiday on the Caribbean island of Barbados last November.
Shortly after he proposed - on his birthday on November 1 - Zoe told the Belfast Telegraph she was on "cloud nine" and she said that they hoped to marry in Northern Ireland some time this year.
A DUP spokesman said: "The party does not comment on speculation. Arlene and her 44 candidates are attracting support from all over Northern Ireland. We welcome supporters from every walk of life. Indeed, many people, attracted by Arlene's vision for Northern Ireland, are voting DUP for the first time."

If you want to fly, you need to flap.
Before my event at Barnes and Noble today, I visited the Sertoma Butterfly House in Sioux Falls - I just could not resist!
It was fun to stroll among these beautiful flappers.
I did not get on the road until my bookstore talk ended at 1:30pm, and the ride was about 5.5 hours, so I got into my hotel in Rapid City, SD somewhat late. It was a nice ride - no rain, not much wind. and I love the open space. I am a big sky girl. Not at all boring.
One downside - both Hazel and I got covered in bugs. My finger tips and the front of my calves got hit by lots of bugs - splat! And poor Hazel has a thick layer on her front facing surfaces.
Tomorrow I head to Cheyenne, Wyoming by way of Mount Rushmore.

CALGARY - Now here's a twist ...
As the Calgary Flames' powerplay drought dragged on, it was blamed for back-to-back losses in which they probably deserved a better fate.
Well, the Flames finally scored on the man-advantage Kris Russell's blast from the blueline ended an 0-for-30 dry-spell and it was the boost they needed as they stormed back to claim at least one point they didn't deserve in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks at the Saddledome.
Sharks defenceman Brad Stuart scored on a wacky one in overtime, somehow deflecting a shot past netminder Reto Berra, who was stellar while waiting 40 minutes for the rest of his team to wake up and finished with 31 stops.

Painting Crew Texas Painting CrewPainting Crew for Rent Horrible experience using a horrible service Austin Texas
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: The above complaints are obviously by a competitor to slander us.
I booked a crew in TX through this service and I agree that they are 100% incompetent and a fraud. The amount of work they had to do should have taken no more than 4-5 hours yet after their 8 hours of work they were far from complete.
The quality of paint they did complete was horrible. There were bald spots, runs, drips everywhere and the ceiling painting was stopped several inches around the entire ceiling and around all light fixtures as well. All they had to do was paint the ceiling and touch up the kitchen in a 325 sqft area.
When they were done the house was a wreck. Also, after wrapping up the ceiling fan in plastic, they decided to turn on the light switch (yes the same one that controls the fan), which caused the pull chords to wrap around the shaft and strip the base off the nut, which then tore the wire for the lights. Not only did I have to fix their crappy painting, clean up their mess and buy more brushes because they took the ones I bought with them, but now I have to buy a new ceiling fan as well. They have never responded to my request to settle this matter.
I will do my best to ensure this service is never used by anybody I know. The company is horrible at scheduling, horrible at providing skilled paining crews and absolutely the worst at returning calls or emails to correct the negligent work. $275 was definitely wasted using this service.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 15, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, October 15, 2013
The above complaints are obviously by a competitor to slander us.
Just mention you've seen these false reviews online and we will extend a $50 discount to you. Remember you don't pay the balance of the job to our painters until you're happy with the work so we guarantee your satisfaction. This is absolutely a honest day's work for a honest day's pay. Don't let a angry competitor make up a false review online and make you go somewhere else to spend more money. That's eactly what they want you to do so they can get your business!
If your looking to save money on your painting project Please give us a call for a free no obligation phone consultation. (8OO)376-4066 CALL TODAY! PAINT TOMORROW! We work 7 days week.
We offer affordable painting crew for the day rates. Each painter can paint approximately 375 sq feet of production per day. Typically that would be 2-3 rooms per painter on average. We cannot guarantee that type of production but we do guarantee the quality of work will be done professionally. Wall repairs, multiple coats. ceilings, trim and doors take away from the overall production. Regardless whether you hire us or someone else to do your painting it should take the same amount of time and with our lower overhead costs we are able to help you save more money.
Please feel free to compare our prices to others. We do not have the extra overhead costs other companies will have. We receive a high call volume if we had to do an on site evaluation for each person who inquired about a painting project we would certainly have to raise our prices. For instance we do not have to pay estimators salaries, gas costs, parking fees, Maintenance on estimators vehicles, sales commissions to salespeople and the list goes on. If you are receiving other quotes simply ask the salesperson how many painters are needed and how long the job should take and compare their price to ours to see which best suits your needs. No reason to spend more on an overpriced estimate. Rent a painting crew for the day and save!!
We also get substantial paint store savings up to 60% off at Sherwin Williams. Our best discount is on Pro Mar 200 brand paint. Some paint contractors will offer to include the cost of paint in your estimate. These contractors will be making money off purchasing your paint. You should use our discount code to save money on your paint. The paint store salesperson will be happy to give you a color consultation and they are trained to tell you how much paint to buy and which kind of paint would work best for you.
We are a fully insured full service painting company. We can do anything you need done painting related. Our painters are also able to do minor handyman tasks at no additional costs at the crews discretion. It's a honest day's work for a honest day's day pay. If you require an additional day of work we would be happy to get you on the schedule for the following day or another day that works best for you.
We can do any job big or small but we specialize in small jobs. We started our painting crew for the day program after researching that many of our customers weren't getting any return calls from painting contractors willing to commit their labor force that didn't return larger dollar amounts. We focus on small jobs ranging from a couple rooms to a deck that needs to re-stained. Anything that's small that can be done in 1 day. Another way we help homeowners save money is we provide all of our top of the line painting equipment so they don't have to purchase expensive painting equipment that they would not use on a regular basis.
If you are shopping around with other companies please beware of companies with no websites, language barriers, or ones who show up with no company trucks or uniforms these could be potential red flags for fly by night contractors. Also avoid high priced estimates with contractors who may rush to complete the job to maximize profits. If our painters your job early please feel free to find them something else to paint for the remainder of the 8 hour day.
Our prices can't be beat by a reputable painting company! Why pay someone else more? You pay our painters at the end of the day once you are happy with the work so there would be no reason to spend more anywhere else!

Is Wal-Mart a Good Buy at These Levels?
Posted by: Faisal Humayun (IP Logged)
Date: June 10, 2014 02:31PM
In 2014, the S&P 500 Index has surged by 5.6%. During the same period, Wal-Mart (WMT) declined by 2.5%. This article discusses the reasons for the poor stock performance and analyzes if the company is a good buy at current levels.
Weak Results and Guidance...
For the first quarter of 2014, Wal-Mart reported diluted EPS of $1.10, a decrease of 3.5% as compared to the first quarter 2013 EPS of $1.14. Muted EPS for the first quarter of 2014 is the first reason for the relatively depressed stock price action for Wal-Mart.
In terms of guidance, Wal-Mart expects second quarter fiscal year 2015 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be between $1.15 and $1.25. In other words, the earnings for the second quarter of 2014 will be from flat to negative considering the fact that the EPS for the second quarter of 2013 was $1.24. Weak earnings guidance is the second reason for the current depression in the stock price.
I must mention here that one of the key factors that negatively impacted first quarter sales in the U.S. was the weather. Unseasonably cold and disruptive weather negatively impacted U.S. sales and drove operating expenses higher. However, the muted expectation in the second quarter is largely reflective of depressed consumer sentiment in the U.S.
...With A Silver Lining
With muted growth numbers all around for Wal-Mart, one figure that stood out was the e-commerce global sales, which increased by 27% for the first quarter of 2014. Wal-Mart has identified e-commerce sales as one of the growth drivers and is investing significantly in the area.
Currently, Wal-Mart has e-commerce presence in 10 countries. I believe that strong e-commerce sales can help Wal-Mart gradually increase its key margins over the next few years. However, this will still take time and on the flipside, the competition in the e-commerce segment is immense.
Peer Comparison
In terms of stock movement, Target (TGT) has witnessed a decline of 9.2% in 2014 as compared to 2.5% downside for Wal-Mart. Even after the sharp decline, Target currently trades at a trailing 12-month PE of 19.4 as compared to a trailing 12-month PE of 15.9 for Wal-Mart. On this front, Wal-Mart looks relatively attractive.
However, the five-year expected PEG ratio looks relatively attractive for Target as compared to Wal-Mart. While Target's PEG currently stands at 1.3, Wal-Mart's PEG is much higher at 1.9. This implies that Target is attractive when considering the future earnings growth potential.
In my view, the point, which works against Target, is its presence in just the U.S and Canada. Wal-Mart is more diversified and has presence in relatively high growth markets.
Wal-Mart is going through a relatively rough patch with muted earnings. The U.S. economic environment also remains uncertain, and it is unlikely that consumer sentiment will pick up relatively soon. The positive factors for Wal-Mart are its presence in some emerging g markets and its investment in e-commerce.
As compared to Target, Wal-Mart looks expensive in terms of future earnings potential. However, Target is much more local and sustained economic gloom can negatively impact the stock. Therefore, on a relatively basis, I would chose Wal-Mart over Target.
While I am positive on Wal-Mart on a relative basis, I am also of the opinion that investors need to stay in the sidelines before considering exposure to Wal-Mart. The relatively depressed sentiment in the stock is likely to sustain in the next quarter.
I believe that the end of the third quarter might be a good time to consider exposure to the stock. If the market corrects by 10% to 15% by that time, the stock will be even more attractive just before the festive season. For now, the best idea would be to remain on the sidelines.

It was reported by the Homeschooling Legal Defence Association (HSLDA) in the USA, arguing that homeschooling damages children and is an abuse of parental authority, a German district court in Darmstadt transferred the custody rights of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich's four children to the Jugendamt, Germany's child protective agency.
The German government has been persecuting homeschooling families since 2005 on the grounds that the state has an interest in counteracting the development of "parallel societies". Many German homeschooling families have left the country. In 2010, Tennessee Judge Lawrence Burman has granted political asylum to the Romeike family and called Germany's actions with the Romeike family a violation of their human rights and a "repellent to everything we believe as Americans" before passing a ruling that allowed them to stay in the U.S.
Unfortunately not all German homeschooling families were able to leave the country. The Wunderlich family attempted to leave the country, but after no success in finding work outside Germany, the family was forced to return to their home in Hessen, Germany. Because of the court's transfer of custody to the government the Wunderlichs are effectively imprisoned in Germany since they cannot take their children out of the country without permission.
The Association for Homeschooling has written many letters to the German Embassy in South Africa on the persecution of homeschoolers in South Africa. The Association has received a response from the German Embassy where they re-iterate that "The public has a legitimate interest in countering the rise of parallel societies …".
A global conference on freedom for home educators will be held in November. Mike Donnelly from the HSLDA along with other organizers of the conference hope it may help to improve the situation in Germany. Leendert van Oostrum from the Pestalozzi Trust and others from South Africa will also attend this conference. You can learn more about the conference at www.ghec2012.org or view the promotional video on Youtube. The Wunderlichs as well as the Johanssons (whose son is detained by the Swedish government since 2009) are scheduled to be at this conference.

Policy #09-001
The purpose of this bulletin is to offer guidance to home inspectors what limitation language is permissible in contracts with clients. Policy: M.G.L. c. 112, s. 225 (6) (v) prohibits home inspectors from "attempting to limit liability for negligent or wrongful errors or omissions by use of a clause within a performance contract that limits the cost of damages for negligent or wrongful errors or omission."
The issue of whether a particular limitation of liability clause violates M.G.L. c. 112, s. 225 (6) (v) will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and is factual dependent. Limitation of liability clauses are only applicable to civil liability may not be used to limit administrative actions. Arbitration clauses are must comply with M.G.L. c. 251. In coming to a determination the Board will review factors including but not limited to:
1) Whether it limits the types of damages available. E.g. precludes consequential or punitive damages and/or limits the amount recoverable;
2) Whether any conditions associated with making a claim are reasonable. E.g. A clause which requires the client to notify the home inspector of the claim prior to taking corrective action and does not exempt emergency repairs may be unreasonable;
3) Whether the limitation is limited to a specific component or is global;
4) Whether the clause is unconscionable. E.g. Where there is the imposition of excessive fees or other conditions onerous to the client associated with filing a claim;
