CARTHAGE, Mo., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
- Tentative agreement reached to settle U.S. polyurethane foam direct purchaser class portion of antitrust cases for $39.8 million (pre-tax)
- 3Q EPS impact expected to be approximately $.18 per share
- The company denies all allegations, but has settled to avoid the uncertainty, expense and distraction of litigation
- Apart from this charge, Leggett reiterated its 2014 EPS guidance issued in July
Leggett & Platt expects to record a $39.8 million (pre-tax), or approximate $.18 per share, third quarter accrual for the settlement of the U.S. direct purchaser class portion of the polyurethane foam antitrust claims filed against the company and numerous other defendants. This claim is partially related to the former Prime Foam Products business, which was sold in the first quarter of 2007. Accordingly, approximately one-quarter of the charge is expected to be reflected in discontinued operations. Apart from this charge, the company reiterated the underlying full year EPS guidance issued in July.
As previously disclosed, Leggett & Platt, along with many other companies, is a defendant in a series of civil antitrust lawsuits involving the sale of polyurethane foam. The company continues to deny all allegations in all of the cases, but has reached a tentative settlement in the U.S. direct purchaser class cases to avoid the uncertainty, expense and distraction of litigation. The company has agreed to pay a total amount of $39.8 million, including plaintiff attorneys' fees and costs. The settlement is subject to Court approval.
Leggett remains a defendant in other previously disclosed antitrust cases involving the sale of polyurethane foam. Because of the complexity involved in the remaining cases, we are unable to reasonably determine the probable outcome or the amount of loss, or range of loss associated with these cases. However, we believe the remaining cases collectively represent lower total sales of polyurethane foam from Leggett & Platt than the cases included in this settlement.

Perch on a picnic table near a small barn in Clare Court and take a long look at this year's Kentucky Derby winner...
James Tafel's Street Sense, winner of the 2007 Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), continued to train toward his summer and fall campaign with a five furlong workout July 13 at Churchill Downs.
The winners of this spring's memorable first two Triple Crown races were in action at Churchill Downs July 1 as Street Sense, winner of the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), and Curlin, who edged the Derby winner to take a memorable renewal of the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), each worked five furlongs under the historic Twin Spires.
Slew's Tizzy and Hard Spun, who figure to be the pacesetters in the June 9 Belmont Stakes (gr. I), drew next to each other at the post position draw Wednesday morning at Belmont Park. Curlin, the classic-winning morning line favorite in the seven-horse field, drew post three.
Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner Curlin completed his serious preparation for Saturday's Belmont Stakes (gr. I) with a four-furlong work at Churchill Downs on Monday, June 4.
Drew Nardiello's Chesapeake Farm, known for raising 2007 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Street Sense, has relocated to Wimbledon Farm.
With the June 9 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) fast approaching, trainers of the expected contenders were making plans for travel and pre-race works May 31.
Suffolk Downs will reinstitute the historic Massachusetts Handicap this fall as part of a continued effort to return the East Boston racetrack to a secure financial position.
Five days after the Preakness (gr. I) and people are still talking about the race, asking the same questions. How did Street Sense lose? How remarkable was Curlin's performance? Did Mario Pino make a blunder or did he make the right move that just didn't turn out right? Why was Calvin Borel looking behind him in deep stretch?
NBC reported slightly lower ratings for this year's Preakness Stakes coverage than it received in 2006 when Barbaro was going for the second jewel of racing's Triple Crown.
Owner Rick Porter and trainer Larry Jones have named Garrett Gomez to ride Hard Spun in the June 9 Belmont Stakes (gr. I), replacing Mario Pino, who had ridden the colt in all eight of his previous starts. As of now, Hard Spun is considered 98% certain to run, according to Porter.
Curlin, winner of the May 19 Preakness Stakes (gr. I), is gearing for a start in the Belmont and returned to the racetrack May 23 at Churchill Downs for the first time since his victory over Street Sense, winner of this year's Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I)
By Ray Paulick - The fighting spirit shown by both Curlin and Street Sense in this terrific stretch battle epitomizes what breeding and racing Thoroughbreds is all about.
By Dan Liebman - Never having been in such a position, Gallion had trouble putting a value on Curlin...
Thoroughbred racing is a sport of contrasting emotions, ranging from euphoria to despair and laced with a heavy dose of what might have beens. It often takes a special horse to bring all those emotions to the surface, and after watching the 132nd Preakness Stakes (gr. I), there is no doubt that Curlin is that kind of horse.
Though the net result was slightly less than last year's effort, Pimlico Race Course still realized its fourth-highest wagering day ever May 19 for its card highlighted by the Preakness Stakes (gr. I).
NBC reported overnight ratings for this year's Preakness that were slightly off last year's Barbaro Preakness numbers, but were still relatively strong for the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
Curlin, who suffered his first defeat in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), kept gaining down the stretch and got past Street Sense in the final strides to win the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) Saturday at Pimlico.
Michael Matz sent out Chelokee to win the inaugural Barbaro Stakes, a Pimlico race named after the deceased winner of the 2006 Kentucky Derby and Roy and Gretchen Jackson, the owners of Barbaro, made the winner's circle presentation to Matz.

With the serious workouts over and a bit of a lull in activity before Saturday's second leg of the Triple Crown, Thursday's Alibi Breakfast was conducted on a lighter note.

Circular Quay is now headed for the Preakness Stakes (gr. I). It wasn't so much a question of why the colt should run in the Preakness, but why shouldn't he run? He's obviously sound, fit, and ready, and this is the perfect spot for him.
Street Sense, winner of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) completed his Preakness preparations Tuesday morning at Churchill Downs. He ships to Pimlico on Wednesday.
Steve Asmussen trainee Curlin, who finished third in the May 5 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), tuned up for Saturday's 132nd running of the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) with an easy half-mile work on Monday at Churchill Downs.
Almost a week has gone by since the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and all the analyses have been written. While it's time to look ahead to the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), there still are some Derby points that are worth discussing.
Larry Jones, who is still having visions of Street Sense getting shut off somewhere - anywhere - in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), is just about ready to drop what might have been and focus all his attention on what will be.
Larry Jones, in his familiar white cowboy hat, has become a recognizable figure during the build-up to the Triple Crown. The personable 50-year old conditioner might be switching to a black cowboy hat as he and his star Hard Spun hope to spoil the Triple Crown hopes of Street Sense and trainer Carl Nafzger in the $1 million Preakness Stakes (gr. I) at Pimlico Race Course on May 19.
When Street Sense moves on to Pimlico Race Course for the May 19 Preakness Stakes (gr. I), the Carl Nafzger-trained colt is likely to face only a few of the 19 horses he defeated in Saturday's Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I).
Dr. Dean Richardson and jockey Edgar Prado will be presented with the Special Award of Merit as part of this year's Preakness media awards during the annual Alibi Breakfast in the terrace dining room at Pimlico Race Course May 17, the Maryland Jockey Club announced Friday.
Breyer Animal Creations announced Friday, March 2, that due to demand, it will produce more portrait models of Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner who died earlier this year.
Barbaro, the 2006 Kentucky Derby winner who died earlier this year, will be honored with a stakes race in his name at Delaware Park.
The Maryland Jockey Club unveiled the 2007 Pimlico spring stakes schedule Feb. 20. The 31-day meeting at the Baltimore track, which is headlined by the Preakness Stakes (gr. I), will begin April 19 and conclude June 9.
By Evan Hammonds - During this year's Preakness weekend at Pimlico, the "Magna Entertainment Experience" surrounding the second jewel of the Triple Crown will not be nearly as enriching. On Jan. 25, the Maryland Jockey Club stuck a fork in the Pimlico Special (gr. I) for 2007.
Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro was alert and ate grass on the last morning of his life at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, according to Dr. Dean Richardson.
Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Barbaro continues to improve following the removal of his right hind leg cast last week, according to his medical team.
Sackatoga Stable managing partner Jack Knowlton has accepted an invitation to be the keynote speaker at the Texas Thoroughbred Association's 2007 annual conference and awards banquet. The event is set for Jan. 19-20 at the Doubletree Hotel in Austin.

I am reviewing this place without a membership there. I am most likely planning to purchase a membership next week though. I had read some okay reviews and am looking for a gym close to my place that offers classes such as Zumba, weight/cardio combo, yoga etc. I am also more...more comfortable in an all female environment because I feel more comfortable. I stopped by without an appointment and was happy to see that you either have to have a key or be let in to even get in the front door.. A nice safety feature for a 24/7 gym.. But I was a little thrown off to have a guy greet me as I came in. I filled out a release form before starting a tour, and the guy (personal trainer) asked mr questions about my interests in an exercise program before starting my tour. The place was on the small side, but it was not crowded at all when I went (late morning), but I assume it fills up a little more in the evenings. The equipment appeared to be in good condition, and all of the cardio machines had a their own decent sized LCD tv monitor in front of them. There was also a cardio room with a "theater" in which a movie was projected on the wall to watch while doing cardio. The movies are suggested by the customers and the same movie is looped for 24 hours (calendar or movies us on the door). The tanning area looked nice enough with a standing booth and bed, but I cannot tan because I have a bad reaction... The locker and shower areas were nice, but smaller than I expected, and the sauna looked clean and well kept. You could even schedule a massage or nail appointment for a reasonable rate. The child care center looked nice enough, but there were not children around at the time, so I did not get to see the place in action. There was also a cycle room for classes that had plenty of bikes. As I said, I was originally thrown off guard by the male personal trainer, but he was very professional and polite. He answered all of my questions and provided me with the rates in a very soft sale low pressure way. It was refreshing not to be bullied into signing my life away when I first walked in the door. The atmosphere seemed relaxed, safe and great for my purposes. They even sell protein powder a few other goodies and have customer appreciation sales. I am using the three day free trial to see what the classes are like at different times of the day before I commit. There is only one group class room, so I want to make sure that the classes aren't too crowded.. But anyway, the place is a nice, safe, well kept gym that is a little small, but relaxed and peaceful enough to make you want to come back. And I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the soft sale. I am so much more likely to join than j would have been if I felt pressured. Two thumbs up! view less

So I had to say a few things! First off thank you bella for helping me lose 8 dress sizes! I have been a member for about 2yrs now and am very pleased. The reason I'm writing this is I read a review that I just had to comment on. Let me give you a little history on me an...mored bella. When I signed up they did ask me to start working out asap and I did. I did join that day because I was ready for a lifestyle change. I can definitely see how this could put someone off though. In reality, I had shopped at 2 other big gyms prior too and thought about it, left, and never came back. Bella gave me a little push which for me I needed and got me results. I bought a 1yr membership and paid for it up front with my personal trainer. I worked with the personal trainer for the first 3 months of my membership and saw really amazing results. I like the fact that the trainers are female and are my age and have actually been in the same situation as me years before. This was the best investment I ever made and I was really impressed by the knowledge the trainer gave me and how it could apply to my daily life. Overall this gym is great for first timers like myself. Over the years I have gotten to know the staff and feel like its a community and I like that almost all the staff know my name and take the time to talk with me anytime I have a question. I would highly recommend you at least form your own opinion and check it out yourself. They give out 7 day passes like water :) I encourage any ladies to just come in try it out, talk to the members, the staff, and hopefully you will be as happy as me a few month from now.view less
Heavy Metal Fitness is the best gym in San Antonio....and one of the best, if not the best, in Texas. I've been a member of many globo-type gyms (i.e. Golds, 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness) and while those are nice, the quality at Heavy Metal Fitness with regards to equipment ...moreand atmosphere is unparalleled. Tim & Michelle (the owners) are always welcoming to anyone interested in improving yourself, regardless of whether you're an experienced lifter or brand new to any form of exercise. There are a wide range of members with varying fitness goals, from the basic gym goer who just wants to get in better overall shape to the more dedicated lifters who train to compete in the strength sports of powerlifting or strongman. In terms of a real No Judgment Zone, this place is it. If you want to get better, everyone is willing to give a helping hand. This place has everything you need, and a lot of items that you simply won't find anywhere else. Some items include: 2 x Elitefts squat racks, Glute Ham Developer, 45 degree back raise, deadlift platform, several standalone benches, tire flip, multiple sleds/Prowlers from Elitefts & Rogue, battle ropes, bands & chains, Texas power bars, Elitefts Safety Squat Bar, Cambered Bar, trap bars, Apollon's Axle, concrete Atlas stones from 145-250 lbs, multiple medicine balls from 2-12 lbs, dumbbells from 5-100 lbs, Farmers Carry, Jump boxes from 6 to 60 inches, etc.view less

You may or may not have caught our article about how to play Shadowgun on an Asus Transformer while using an Android phone as a gamepad to play it. One of the items needed to accomplish this was a program called DroidMote which has a server and client app you need to install.
The server app is installed on the device you want to control while the client app is installed on the device you want to use as the controller. In the Shadowgun example you could map out keys and have a virtual gamepad on your phone and play games, such as Shadowgun, on a tablet (an Asus Transformer in our example) remotely. Throw in an HDMI-out cable to your tv and you could sit in a chair and play a game like Shadowgun on the big screen without the wires.
Of course you have to have at least two Android devices to pull this off, one needing root (whatever device needs the server app installed on). However, if you don't have any gamepads laying around from an Xbox or some generic ones, but you do have two Android devices, this is a neat work around.
With all that said, the DroidMote has now been updated to support the Xperia Play phone. Not only does it allow you to have all the virtual controls on the Xperia Play screen, it also supports the actual physical control pad as well! Another major update, although outside the realm of the Xperia Play, is that the DroidMote now supports physical keyboards as well that some Android phones still come with. In fact the entire update seems to be completely gaming focused now that it comes with Xperia Play support, check out the changelog:
If you own an Xperia Play and also a tablet (or any other Android device with HDMI-out), you're going to be able to have a lot of fun gaming with this among other things that this little app setup can do. The DroidMote client is available for free on the Android Market while the Server app will run you about $2.00. You can check out a video showing the Remote multi-axis joystick with accelerometer data feature in an example video below.
Thanks to ShadowOfAnAndroid for the tip!

My Guess? It's Flippin' Imminent
by IwoCPO on 07/30/08 at 11:46 AM ET
Comments (0)
Updated 1012 EST: Email from Risto Pakarinen, blogger at NHL.com: "Hasn't signed yet, getting closer, likely to sign before fri hearing."
Tick Tock generally gets what he wants. He's greedy that way. And so are we. And right now? What we'd like is news of a Filppula deal, hopefully one of a long-term variety.
But…the Diggers are disappointing us again. So, just for fun, I thought I'd pick up the rotary and dial Wally's agent. Guy named Bill Zito of Acme Sports.
Quick, painless.
And some reason for optimism.
Me: "Any word on a Valteri Filppula deal?"
Zito: "Have the Wings released anything yet?"
And that was pretty much it. No BFFs or LOLs. But an interesting question in response to my question.
But…my impression? Something's going down and it's going down soon. And because Kenny gets what Kenny wants…I'm betting it's a deal that is inexpensive at first, staggered over the course of a long-term arrangement. Wally's going to prove that he's "bought into the system."

I'm not an athletic person nor do I find sports very entertaining so my opinion isn't really valid. I can go a long time without hearing about our athletics if that means anything.
Overall Experience:
Rhodes has a lot of issues on its plate, mostly in terms of diversity, but they are normal college problems and unlike some other public institutions, we are embracing them and making sure they are being worked on. The academics have been very challenging, but I may not be the best source on that coming from a local public high school which consistently struggled to meet state standards. Perhaps what is most pleasing to me is the financial aid (which, on the current path, will let me graduate debt-free) and the willingness of my professors and advisers to go a step above the rest and make sure I'm doing well.
The academics at Rhodes is about as good as one could ask for. The professors are engaging, very approachable and willing to help if you go to office hours. The only downside is that the workload can be quite overwhelming at times (especially if you are taking a lab) but visiting professors in office hours usually helps with the more difficult material.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe on campus.
Overall Experience:
I love Rhodes! It is the perfect college for me!
Overall Experience:
The opportunities I have at Rhodes are preparing me for graduate school and a successful career.
Campus Housing:
I've been very happy with my dorm experience.
I am a member of the Men's Swim Team. Our coach is amazing. Our team is growing and setting new school records every day, every meet, and every season!
Overall Experience:
Rhodes College is the perfect fit for me!
Health & Safety:
While there's definitely measures now in place to address safety, the school can do more in terms of preventative care.
Overall Experience:
The courses are really hard and they make you think but the professors are there every step of the way
Overall Experience:
The career center is very helpful. The alumni are also very loving of the school
Campus Housing:
Most students live on campus so the sense of community is really there
Greek Life:
It's a great environment if you feel like you need it. It's definitely very helpful during freshman year as you get to meet a lot of people. However, the most awesome thing about our Greek system is that people don't actually live in the houses so non-Greeks and Greeks mix together a lot.
I personally am not involved in the athletics department but I enjoy going to our gym very much.
Overall Experience:
Everyone is very helpful and friendly. The professors are very engaging and genuinely want to be there to teach you. 99% of the classes don't have TAs so you really do get to know the professor on a personal level.
Campus Housing:
Not my favorite. Would like newer, more updated options.
Party Scene:
Parties happen all the time, but they're all pretty much the same.
I'm not involved in athletics, but the facilities are nice.
Overall Experience:
Overly focused on general requirements rather than education in the fields you want to go into. The community can be isolating if you aren't exactly the Rhodes type of student. I've taken some amazing classes, and some that are quite challenging, but overall feel unchallenged. Some professors are excellent while others are just okay.
Party Scene:
The nightlife is very fun. I have a lot of really great friends at Rhodes.
Drug Safety:
There is no peer pressure.
Overall Experience:
Great school, dedicated professors and campus safety.
Overall Experience:
The sense of community is great, the classes are challenging but not overwhelming, and there are amazing opportunities to get to know Memphis. Plus, I'm a Bonner Scholar, so I have amazing intern opportunities and I get money to put towards my tuition.
Overall Experience:
Professors are great. Too Greek-oriented.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
If you talk to Rhodes upperclassmen about their college experience, most will say that they're glad they chose their school. When it comes down to it, Rhodes pairs a phenomenal educational experience with a down-to-earth, welcoming atmosphere that alums fondly reflect on. The professors care more than you can possibly imagine. They have high expectations and do their best to challenge students, but they are also there to be mentors or even friends. Students are encouraged to explore their interests, discover passions, and fight to reach their full potential. Students who are unhappy at Rhodes tend to feel suffocated with how small the school actually is. It can be difficult to find a niche, and sometimes it's frustrating seeing the same people everywhere you go. The workload isn't exactly easy, either. Before enrolling, you have to be sure you're looking for such a small environment. There are definitely pros to it—the teacher/student relations, small class sizes, personal attention, a "community" feeling. But the students who are unhappy are typically the ones who realize they belong at a much larger place.
Students who remain at Rhodes say that, even if they were initially dissatisfied, they are so glad they stayed. At the very least, they know that they're graduating with a solid education and the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the "real world," whether that means going straight into the workforce, beginning graduate school, living abroad, or anything else a fully-equipped Rhodes grad could possibly want to do. Rhodes is a great community, and any driven, passionate student would be lucky to be a part of it.

The Rapture is Not an Exit Strategy

Can you trust a television military analyst?
Television military analysts are wooed, courted, and privileged by the Pentagon. An in-depth investigative report by the New York Times uncovers logrolling, shilling, touting, back-scratching, and just plain bias on the part of the experts that television networks put on the air to talk about the war. Some of them appear to be as good as owned by the Defense Department. "The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air. Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to the viewers, and sometimes not even to the networks themselves."
An Inconvenient Audit
The Pentagon's $1 Trillion Problem. Even as the Defense Department prepares to send Congress its $481.4B FY2008 budget request, it also prepares to admit -- for the 18th year in a row -- that its finances are in such poor shape that it is effectively impossible to audit or account for over a trillion dollars in past expenses.

"[P]ropaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state...."
Need money? Have a blog? Well, your troubles may be over: "Hiring a block of bloggers to verbally attack a specific person or promote a specific message may be worth considering." Of course, if you don't want to play along, there are other ways to make your blog useful:
Hacking the site and subtly changing the messages and data—merely a few words or phrases—may be sufficient to begin destroying the blogger's credibility with the audience.... If the messages are subtly tweaked and the data corrupted in the right way, the enemy may reason that the blogger in question has betrayed them and... take down the site (and the blogger) themselves....Who might you be interested in "clandestinely recruiting or hiring prominent bloggers"? Oh, the US military.

Participating in UN peacekeeping missions made Fiji prone to coups
Without participating in peacekeeping missions overseas, it is unlikely that Fiji's army would ever have become strong enough to seize power. So says the Economist: "When the British left Fiji in 1970, there were only around 200 serving military personnel. UN peacekeeping operations in Lebanon and Sinai generated a tenfold increase by 1986. The next year, Fiji witnessed its first military coup." The series of coups since then haven't stopped Fiji from continuing to participate in UN missions.

Steelers still have a fighting chance
By James Walker
Do not expect many complaints from the
Pittsburgh Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger
's suspension, which is
expected to be four to six games
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made the right call in suspending Roethlisberger, who was accused of sexual assault twice in the past year and violated the
league's personal conduct policy
. But the Steelers are fortunate to still have a chance to salvage their 2010 season.
The Steelers should have a good chance to make the playoffs if Ben Roethlisberger plays well when he returns.
A suspension of eight games would have all but ended Pittsburgh's season before it ever began. If you thought the team looked average last year without safety
Troy Polamalu
, imagine how below average the Steelers would be without their $100 million quarterback for half the season.
Roethlisberger is at fault, and he got the brunt of the punishment. Here is a
breakdown of how much money
Roethlisberger is set to lose depending on the length of his suspension.
Backup quarterbacks
Byron Leftwich
Charlie Batch
Dennis Dixon
will be
fine for the short term
. Pittsburgh will be less formidable offensively. But with a top-five defense and expected improvements in the running game, the Steelers should be able to compete minus Roethlisberger against the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, and possibly the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins in mid-October. (
Here's the Steelers' complete schedule
A split for Pittsburgh in the first four or six games would be considered a huge success. But even at 1-3 or 2-4, the season wouldn't be over when Roethlisberger returns.
With Roethlisberger under center, the Steelers are a Super Bowl contender this season. Without him for a significant period, they can't make the playoffs.
The suspension could land Pittsburgh somewhere in between, and Roethlisberger's play late in the season will determine how far this team can go.
