MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: No ratings tracked in the last 12 months.Consensus Rating:N/A (Score: NaN)Consensus Price Target: N/A Analysts' Ratings History for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock No equities research coverage for this company has been tracked by MarketBeat.com Earnings Earnings History for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB)Earnings History by Quarter for BAB (OTCMKTS BABB)DateQuarterConsensus EstimateActual EPSRevenue EstimateActual RevenueRelease LinkConference CallDetails7/5/2017 4/5/2017Q1 2017$0.01$0.49 millionViewN/A10/9/2013Q3 13$0.01ViewN/A(Data available from 1/1/2011 forward) Estimates Earnings Estimates for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB)No earnings estimates for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Dividends Current Dividend Information for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB)Most Recent Dividend:1/6/2015Annual Dividend:$0.04Dividend Yield:5.41%Payout Ratio:66.68% (Trailing 12 Months of Earnings) Dividend History by Quarter for BAB (OTCMKTS BABB)AnnouncedPeriodAmountYieldEx-Dividend DateRecord DatePayable Date12/3/2014special$0.0112/19/20141/6/20159/2/2014quarterly$0.019/18/201410/6/20146/13/2014quarterly$0.016/27/20147/16/20143/12/2014quarterly$0.013/28/20144/14/201412/3/2013quarterly$0.0212/18/20131/3/201412/2/2013special$0.0212/18/20131/3/20149/9/2013quarterly$0.019/20/201310/4/2013(Data available from 1/1/2013 forward) Insider Trades Insider Trading and Institutional Ownership History for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB)Insider Ownership Percentage: 34.10%Institutional Ownership Percentage: 0.53%Insider Trades by Quarter for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB)Transaction DateInsider NameTitleBuy/SellNumber of SharesAverage Share PriceTotal TransactionDetails5/1/2015Geraldine ConnCFOBuy2,001$0.64$1,280.64 12/4/2014Geraldine ConnCFOBuy1,200$0.70$840.00 7/28/2014Jcp Investment Management, LlcInsiderSell15,505$0.76$11,783.80 7/24/2014Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderSell9,800$0.79$7,742.00 7/22/2014Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderSell27,500$0.77$21,175.00 5/27/2014Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderSell10,450$0.76$7,942.00 5/21/2014Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderSell11,000$0.76$8,360.00 5/8/2014Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderSell2,664$0.83$2,211.12 4/15/2014Geraldine ConnCFOBuy1,682$0.75$1,261.50 9/10/2013Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderBuy15,000$0.88$13,200.00 9/5/2013Jcp Investment Management, LlcMajor ShareholderBuy4,300$0.86$3,698.00 11/14/2012Michael K MurtaughVPSell10,000$0.59$5,900.00 (Data available from 1/1/2013 forward) Headlines Headline Trends for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB) Latest Headlines for BAB (OTCMKTS:BABB) Source: All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat.com Bloomberg MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ Reuters Seeking Alpha The Street The Wall Street Journal Yahoo Finance DateHeadlineWhy Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Stock Will Reach $160investorplace.com - June 26 at 10:39 AMIs Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Stock a Better Holding Than Amazon?investorplace.com - June 25 at 2:42 PMBAB, Inc. : BABB-US: Dividend Analysis : June 26th, 2017 (record date) : By the numbers : June 22, 2017finance.yahoo.com - June 22 at 3:53 PMRide Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Stock Without Paying a Pennyinvestorplace.com - June 14 at 9:26 AMBuy Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Stock on This (And Any) Dipinvestorplace.com - June 13 at 2:30 PMWhy Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Stock Is Still Too Riskyinvestorplace.com - June 12 at 10:24 AMBAB Systems, Inc.

After months of off-season weight lifting and weeks of practicing in the hot summer sun, the 2013 football season is finally here with four of Roane County's five teams opening regular season play on Friday.
Cherokee Middle School student Ketron "K'Mac" Wells recently swam at the University of Tennessee to raise money for the National Brain Tumor Society. A member of the West Side Mighty Marlins Swim Team, he collected $1,500.01 to contribute to the society.
One does not simply stop the "Mean Green Scoring Machine" known as the Rockwood Lady Tigers.
The Lady Tigers pounced upon the outmanned Pigeon Forge Lady Tigers by an 11-0 tally in Rockwood's season opener Tuesday afternoon.
Lexie Hill would score the first two Rockwood goals with Katie Cisson chipping in on the assists. Cisson, herself, boosted that lead to 3-0 with a goal of her own.
Carson Evans added the fourth and fifth goals of the game then Hill scored her third goal of the game to make the score 6-0 at the half.
The Oliver Springs Lady Bobcats ran their season record to 2-0 Tuesday evening with a dominating 5-0 victory at Sunbright.
Olympic gold medalist Claire Donahue dived right into the Rockwood pool Monday when she visited and taught important basics to the Rockwood Swim Team.
"I was thinking about it the other day," said Donahue, who is from Lenoir City. "I've been a part of swimming for 18 years and it has given me so much, and I think it is really important for the kids to kind of see the fun of it."
Latoya Brown pleaded guilty to assault in Roane County General Sessions Court on Monday.
"It's (expletive)," Brown said after she left the courtroom.
Rockwood police charged Brown with assault in March. According to the police report, Rene T. Lee said she observed Brown push Lee's 10-year-old son down as he was parking his bike.
The report said another woman, Tiffany Laxton, told police, she also saw Brown push the boy down and then grab him by the shirt and hold him so Brown's son could hit him.
Defense attorney John McFarland said a LaFollette woman's life is ruined over allegations she poisoned a co-workers Mountain Dew.
"The damage has been done by the allegations alone," he said.
His client, Ashley Nicole Carroll, was charged with reckless endangerment in Roane County Criminal Court. Assistant District Attorney General Bill Reedy dismissed the 2011 case against her last week.
A man was jailed Tuesday after a fatal wreck Monday on Eagle Furnance Road south of Rockwood.
Johnny Ray Foland, 50, is charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, DUI, driving on a revoked license, implied consent violation and leaving the scene of an accident involving a fatality.
Teri L. Stephenson, 54, was killed in the wreck. She had a Rockwood address.
Trooper Mike Beaty of the Tennessee Highway Patrol reported that Stephenson was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Foland.
He was traveling westbound and failed to negotiate a curve.

ReaderEssays Many mothers talk of the monumental surge of maternal love they felt the first time they held their child in their arms. Or the first time they heard "Mommy!" pass those tiny lips. It hits suddenly and without warning. Our hearts swell to infinite proportions and we realize, "I am a mother."
I wish I could say that was how it happened to me.
When they first placed my son in my arms, I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do was sleep. I loved my son; I just didn't feel that heart-swelling surge of emotion.
The hours went on and my love for my son grew, but it would be many months before I had that defining, life-changing moment. A moment that involved vomit.
Just after my son's first birthday, we moved to a new house. Now, anyone with children can attest to the strategic military planning involved when undertaking such a task. But everything went smoothly and I patted myself on the back on more then one occasion.
We were still settling in when it started: Jonah coughed. Just a little at first, then a bit more. Then he sneezed.
"Have no fear," my father reassured me. "It's winter. Kids get colds. Let's take him to the deli for a big bowl of chicken soup."
Off to the deli we went, where my child devoured pickles, rolls and chicken soup with matzo balls, along with a large glass of pink Gatorade.
We returned home and I put him down for his afternoon nap. I breathed a sigh of relief—two hours of uninterrupted unpacking time. I hadn't even opened a box when I heard him crying. I went to his room. He was standing up in his crib, crying.
"What is it, babe?" I asked, lifting him up.
He coughed. "It's OK," I soothed. He coughed some more. It sounded like he was choking. I tilted him back to look at him.
Then I realized: The Deli Food Alien had taken over my son's small body and now it was time for the alien to emerge from its host.
Pickles, soup, matzo balls, bread, Gatorade and a healthy dose of PediaCare all made another appearance, landing on him and me in an arc of poetic spray filling the air around us. All I could think, as various delicacies landed from head to toe, was why today, of all days, did I choose to wear a tight-necked, ribbed turtleneck?
When the horror finally ended, I stood there, dripping with gastric anomalies, and did what any first-time mother would do. I put Jonah in the bathtub and called my Mommy and Daddy. My Dad was home.
The moment my father arrived, I threw a semi-clean Jonah at him and mumbled something about taking a shower. I stood in the tub—fully clothed—and assessed the situation. How to get my top off without smearing everything in my hair?
I began to wriggle out of my turtleneck and suddenly it was as if the blue sky had opened up on a cloudy day and the birds had begun to sing. I had my first maternal epiphany. My knees buckled. I could barely breathe. Here I was covered in vomit and it hit me: I am a mother.
Recently, while on an airplane, Jonah—who was then 4—told me he thought he was going to throw up. I hurriedly dug through the forward seat pocket and located the barf bag.
It was a false alarm, but Jonah was fascinated by the barf bag.
"What's this for?" he asked.
"It's for when you're going to be sick and you can't get to the bathroom fast enough."
"Oh." He thought a minute. "Did you ever use one?"
"No. But I've come close."
"When you were in my tummy I was a little sick."
"What was it like when I was in your tummy?"
I told him how he craved French fries and fish sticks and that he kicked me awake most nights.
"Then what happened?"
"Then you told me you were ready to come out and Daddy and I went to the hospital."
He was on the edge of his seat now. "Did you throw me up?" he asked.
"No," I laughed. "The doctor helped you out and everyone yelled, 'It's a boy!' And they put you on my chest and I gave you a great big hug and since then, I've never let you go."
Jonah turned to me, took my face in the palms of his small hands, and kissed me on the lips. I noticed tears in the corner of his eyes when he pulled back and said, "I love you, Mom."
"I love you, too," I told him.
Tears of my own fell.
"You OK?" My husband asked, looking up from his book.
"I'm great."
When we got off the plane I went home and put on my tight-necked, ribbed turtleneck.

I'm looking for a web2.0 looking logo.
Maybe something with some depth.
I've attached 3 logos I really like.
The WildFire logo is my favorite.
I prefer a image on top of the logo, but that is not a must.
