The concern over obesity in children has garnered national attention. HBO broadcast the four- part documentary "The Weight of the Nation" last year shining a spotlight on the health of America's children. Here are a couple of facts about obesity in children.
There are a number of things parents can do to help turn things around. One is changing the way your children and family eats. A simple practice is to eat meals together as a family whenever possible without any distractions. When you have those family meals think about serving some of the following:
Parents should avoid forcing their children to finish all the food on their plate if they're full. You should only eat when you're hungry. Food should not be used as a reward or punishment with your children. You don't have to eliminate sweets altogether, but focus on healthy nutrition and remember everything is fine in moderation.
Finally, you can help encourage you children to eat better and be more active if Mom and Dad eat better and are active themselves. You can set a great example for your kids by taking family walks, riding bicycles together, playing games and going to the park. Remember eating healthier can be a fun and rewarding activity by introducing your children to new foods that will make them healthier adults. Why not make a new start with a family dinner tonight?

Topic: A better way to do this? (select field)
Right now I have it so this following code can let me specify a category:

Category

<select name="link[category_id]">
<% @categories.each do |category| %>
<option value="<%= category.id %>">
<%= category.title %>
<% end %>
First, I don't think this looks pretty enough for rails.
Second, it has a problem. If I update a field (for instance, making something approved) and then click edit. The category is default on the first field, so any time I update it's going to switch the category to the first category in the drop down, instead of defaulting to the category that is already set.
How would I implement that functionality so it defaults to the category if one is already set?

Indonesia wins bronze medal in badminton
BEIJING (AP) Indonesia's Maria Kristin Yulianti has won the bronze medal in women's singles in the Olympic badminton tournament, defeating China's Lu Lan in three games.
After dropping the first game, the unseeded Yulianti recovered for an 11-21, 21-13, 21-15 win Saturday over the third-seeded Lu to give Indonesia its first medal of the Olympic badminton tournament.
Leading 20-15, Yulianti won the match when Lu's cross-court return off a smash went out.
China was hoping for a sweep of the medals podium in women's singles.
China's Xie Xingfang and defending Olympic champion Zhang Ning will play for the gold medal later Saturday.

Skip to comments.Meacham: Obama 'In The Wrong Business, Doesn't Particularly Like People'
Posted on 11/22/2011 5:28:10 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest
When it comes to the MSM, it's hard to get more mainstream than Jon Meacham. Former Newsweek editor. Current Random House editor. Picked for a Pulitzer Prize.
So when someone of Meacham's genteelly liberal ilk unloads on Barack Obama in such stark terms, it's newsworthy. On today's Morning Joe, Meacham flatly stated his belief that President Obama "doesn't particularly like people and politicians who don't like people are kind of in the wrong business."
View the video here.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
Seems like maybe he hit a nerve somewhere in Mr. Ford.
Rats. Ship. Obama. Ping to Today show list.
Is he the one who was suspended recently for saying BO was "acting like a d***?"
I've been reading "Intellectuals" by Paul Johnson.
"Intellectuals" throughout history tend to be leftists, because their tendency to think that they should run everything runs hand in glove with leftist/communist thought.
Some commenalities of these "intellectuals" of history include
"love of humanity" as a concept, but despite/antipathy for individual humans,
sexual immorality and illegitimacy,
personal financial irresponsibility leading to borrowing without repayment,
and antipathy towards money lenders due to the previous.
That was Mark Halperin back in June.
That was Mark Halperin, but another good example of the phenomenon.
They are turning Obama into the underdog while prepping the battlefield for the drafting of the Hildebeast.
If he doesn't run for reelection, Hillary will be elevated in the emotional psyche of the left. If he does run, the media will have the "overcome adversity" card to play.
How come ordinary Americans can see this and the Ivy League grads have no clue?
Its not that he doesn't "like" people. He just feels so superior to them.
I think Mark Halperin and Jon Meacham are the same person. They used to go by the name Michael Kinsley. /s
Not sure I buy this: I think I could stand a politician who didn't like people but did like responsible government. Not that Obama does, of course.
I think he is better suited breaking big rocks into small ones on a chain gang.
BTW this person doesn't like him AT ALL!
FUBO GTFO! 425 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013
If the Country can survive that long!
Politicians who don't like people. I can think of a few: Robespierre, Lenin, Stalin, Mao tse Tung, Pol Pot ...... Obama seems to stand in a distinct tradition.
He is, essentially, saying the same thing that Chris Matthews said a few days ago in his rant.
Yes, of course...thank you for the correction. For some reason I always get those two mixed up.
it's ok... because people don't particularly like 0failure either
Your description also contains traits commonly found among those possessed of a narcissistic personality disorder. No surprise.
Mostly he loathes America.....
Good book, Not his best but his point is valid.
Try "The birth of the Modern"
It's hard to like stupid people, so it's logical that you won't like people if you think you're smarter than everyone else. He'll either be smarmy or condescending, depending on the circumstances and audience, but won't enter into a conversation with someone else as an equal.
There is no genuine spontaneous social interaction, just calculated resonses and manipulations.
I'd bring Mr. Meacham (and others) back to the Obama's very first "White House Christmas Card" family photo. It tells us all we need to know. Each of the Obama's had a hand touching another. Except Barack, who sat with his hands in his lap. He is incapable of showing genuine affection even for his own family. It's just not in him. He does the 'man hug' as established by Clinton ONLY because it is politically expedient.
I haven't figured out what it is; nothing makes sense. Often I wonder if he despises people because he thinks the rest of us are as shallow, hateful, and selfish as he is. Other times I wonder if he went into politics specifically because he hates people and his political office gives him the power to harm far more people than he could hurt as a local community organizer. Or does he like people, just not productive people and especially productive Americans who hold jobs and cling to God and to guns? I don't know if he feels so superior that he thinks he is blessing us by attempting to seize control of every aspect of our lives, or if he feels like an incompetent fraud in over his head and assumes the rest of us are as bad. All I know is that whatever is happening inside his head should frighten every sane person in the world.
It's sure as hell obvious that he doesn't like the USA, he's made that perfectly clear.
Absolutely! Like Obama, a narcissist will put down others to improve his own image...it's everyone else's fault. Obama envies others because he is not self-reliant, another trait of narcissists. They have a sense of entitlement, and confuse hate with fear. Obama believes he is feared by those who disagree with him, including the American people, and foreign countries. Just the opposite is true. To Obama, people are objects, to be used for self-promotion. People like narcissists in the beginning, but soon see through the veneer. Even the democrats are catching on.
Urk. I hate having something in common with the Clown-in-Chief. I don't like people either.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew 6:22-23
Anyone he feels superior to, he dislikes and views as inferiors,
but I'm sure he REALLY loathes those who DEMONSTRATE intellect superior to his own.
Ever heard a lib/leftist speak about rural people, or even "preppers"? They LOATHE others who are self-reliant. Probably because they know they can't control the self-reliant.
Throw Mo in there too!
He'll give you everything you need-o Even though it's all wee-weed-o He's planned this all along To keep the economy down Until we end the rule of Zer0
"he thinks he is blessing us "
another commonality with historical "intellectuals" - they tried to make others think they were doing THEMSELVES a favor when they financially supported the intellectual.
I smell some DemocRATS setting the table to a Hillary run. It's obvious - even with Obama's billion dollar war chest that he won't likely win re-election. Since this next election is literally for all the marbles - the Supreme Court and our VERY WAY OF LIFE - I wouldn't be surprised if the 'powers that be' had Obama bow out to someone many think is electable - (choke) Hillary.
despises humanity in general but is ever ready to make an exception for "the real people." He feels certain he could love them if only he could find them--or failing that, transform existing false people into his idealized "real" people through social and political programs of his own making...
Rousseau is who she's talking about in that chapter. It's very interesting.
I think he doesn't love either people or this country, but he loves what he thinks he could make both into, if only everyone would cooperate.
Yep! And self-reliant people aren't prone to being influenced by narcissists. He's have a tough time tearing down rural people individually, so goes after the big banks that supply money to single entrepreneurs. The little people lose out every time, no matter how many times Obama tells them he is looking out for them. He gets them through the back door.
I know at least one person Obama likes...HIMSELF!
"I wouldn't be surprised if the 'powers that be' had Obama bow out to someone many think is electable - (choke) Hillary."
She's unelectable. Hillary got stuck in a washing machine's spin cycle, and it shows.
Haven't we all sensed how Obama doesn't like people? Michelle either? They have to overcome that inertia with polling day shenanigans.
The feeling is mutual.
Not so! Barry loves people as long as they're adoring him.
Good grief, the man's a narcissist. "People" don't exist to him. Everything outside of himself are merely objects for him to manipulate for his own pleasure. Like a selfish child, Barry doesn't like anything that doesn't do exactly what he wants.
Doesn't particularly like people, and HATES Americans.
I buy into Dinesh D'Souza's anti-colonialism psyche of Obama.
He resents the British (and the Western World ) for torturing his Kenyan grandfather in the 1950's.
The man simply carries a life long grudge. He seethes within. D'Souza calls him the "last anti-colonialist." He hates living in the White House which to him is the center of Western Imperialism. Try to imagine Rush Limbaugh being elected president of the Soviet Union and having to live in the Kremlin. Kind of like that - lol.
Explains why he returned Churchill's bust that was in the White House and approving the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
Here is a link to D'Souza's book. The Amazon reviews are very enlightening as well.
Both, with a slight adjustment. The former is the feelings he recognizes. The latter if you remove the "and assumes..." part. The superiority pose is compensating for how worthless he believes himself to be. Barry is one sick puppy. To him, we are all just toys to manipulate in order to make him feel better. That includes his family, too.
They are prepping themselves for Shrillary
Does that make Zero the democrat Richard Nixon?
Mark, the pressure on Obama to get out and cede to Hillary or Biden is, once again, yet another Carter Paradigm (re: the Swimmer's 1980 primary insurgency) lining up to be validated next November. Incredible how history repeats itself.
Read it, too.
Great little book.
Amongst the many fascinating things about his observations, he notes that most 'intellectuals' tend to be only children, and narcissistic.
I;ll have to check out the book
I betcha Obama will be caught doing drugs before his 1st term is out.

Posted on 08/27/2009 1:09:05 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist
... In 2008 there were approximately 37.3 million foreign-born persons in the United States. The foreign-born population was comprised of approximately 15.1 million naturalized U.S. citizens and 22.1 million noncitizens.
H.R. 3200 includes an individual mandate to have health insurance with tax penalties for non-compliance. Individuals who do not maintain acceptable insurance coverage for themselves and their children would be required to pay an additional tax. Some individuals, including nonresident aliens, would be exempt from the individual mandate...
Under H.R. 3200 a "Health Insurance Exchange" would begin operation in 2013 and would offer plans alongside a public option. H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitizens participating in the Exchange - whether the noncitizens are legally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently...
Some have expressed concern that since H.R. 3200 does not contain a mechanism to verify immigration status, the prohibitions on noncitizens (e.g. nonimmigrants and unauthorized aliens) receiving the credits may not be enforced. Thus it appears absent of a provision in the bill specifying the verification procedure, that the Commissioner would be responsible for determining a mechanism to verify the eligibility of noncitizens for the credits.
(Excerpt) Read more at ryanjames.us ...
1.) If you are a US citizen and born in the US (or one who immigrated here legally), you HAVE to have acceptable health insurance or you will pay a fine.
2.) Illegal aliens are exempt from this fine and do not have to have "acceptable" health insurance.
3.) Illegal aliens, while exempt from the fine and exempt from having to carry acceptable health insurance, can, nonetheless, participate in a Health Insurance Exchange, whether they be here temporarily or permanently.
4.) Since there is no enforcement mechanism (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE)) within H.R. 3200 that would verify citizenship status, the Commissioner would determine the mechanism for verifying eligibility of illegal aliens in the Health Insurance Exchange to receive credits.
5.) There is no enforcement mechanism in HR 3200 to keep illegal aliens from receiving the credits. The Commissioner will decide the eligibility of illegal aliens to get these credits.
What say you?
It's only a backstop.
Zer0 asserted three weeks ago while in Mexico that our 25 million++ peasant illegal aliens would get a "pathway to ciszenship" (aka Amnesty) beginning in 2010.
The legislation according to Zer0 is already in the works.
IMO the entire "health care reform" effort (top to bottom, 100 percent) is to make sure that American citizens pay the health care bills of the peasants, because they are a HUGE drain on state and federal social services, and someone's got to pay their bills.
That "someone" would be us.
The McCain amendment?
What exactly is the "Congressional Research Service"?
It WILL be us paying for them. He's protecting all of them - as they are just like him. If not, he'd have shown his birth certificate, school records, and/or visa to prove he's a natural born citizen. Instead he's spent almost a million keeping it under wraps, hidden from all at whatever cost it will take to keep it secret.
BTW, based upon this report, those Health Insurance Exchange credits that illegals aliens would be eligible for would be based upon income and would be subsidized.
IOW, all of the low-income illegal alien would get their health care paid for by tax-paying US citizens.
obamathefalsemessiah is on vacation nothing to see here move along.
Congressional Research Service
The Congressional Research Service (CRS), known as "Congress's think tank",[1] is the public policy research arm of the United States Congress. As a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress, CRS works exclusively and directly for Members of Congress, their Committees and staff on a confidential, nonpartisan basis.
Its not about health care or insurance...ITS ABOUT GOVERNMENT POWER OVER YOU!
House Bill 676 is a bill that as an amendment to House Bill 3200 will make health care single payer and lots of taxes, not to mention it will cover illegal aliens.
It is called : United States National Health Care Act or the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act (Introduced in House) [H.R.676.IH]
Here is the link:
The bill - the Wainer amendment-will replace division A of House Bill 3200
It will make it a single payer plan, publicly financed privately delivered public health system delivered to all residents - every person in US and territory will receive a Health Insurance card and ID number.
How to pay for it:
modest payroll 3.3% and employers 3.3%
5% tax on top 5%
small tax on bond & stock transfers
Closing tax loopholes and repealing the Bush tax rules
The details above may have been paraphrased, so you will want to research this.
False: Illegal Immigrants Will Be Covered
One Republican congressman issued a press release claiming that "5,600,000 Illegal Aliens May Be Covered Under Obamacare," and weve been peppered with queries about similar claims. Theyre not true. In fact, the House bill (the only bill to be formally introduced in its entirety) specifically says that no federal money would be spent on giving illegal immigrants health coverage:
H.R. 3200: Sec 246 NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
Also, under current law, those in the country illegally dont qualify for federal health programs. Of interest: About half of illegal immigrants have health insurance now, according to the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center, which says those who lack insurance do so principally because their employers dont offer it.
Makes it kinda hard to enforce this section, eh?
>>>> Good grief - by that logic they may as well introduce a bill to fully annex Mexico and be done with it. GEEZ!!!! <<<<
Perhaps you are not aware that the alleged "46 million uninsured" is about 1/2 peasant illegal aliens from Mexico and Mesoamerica.
Under Treatment of Non-citizens in HR 3200, credits to participate in the Health Insurance Exchange would be subsidized (taxpayer-funded).
Problem is, is that without any enforcement mechanism within HR 3200 (and there is no enforcement mechanism to verify citizenship status) illegal aliens can get these credits to participate in the Health Insurance Exchange.
And HR 3200 says that there are no restrictions on illegal aliens participating in the Health Insurance Exchange.
Anyone with half a working brain knows why Democrats have fought tooth and nail to make sure that there is no enforcement mechanism like SAVE within HR 3200.
That is why they defeated Heller's amendment in the House Ways and Means Committee on a party line, 26-15 vote, and why they defeated another similar amendment in the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
In HR 3200:
1.) There is no enforcement mechanism to verify who is and isn't an illegal alien.
SAVE and IEVS are already used by the federal government to verify citizenship status and income eligibility for federal programs. Dean Heller (R-NV) wanted those in his amendment. Democrats defeated Heller's amendment in the House Ways & Means Committee on a party line, 26-15 vote. Democrats also defeated a similar amendment to verify citizenship status in the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
2.) If illegals don't want health insurance they aren't required to get "acceptable" health insurance, but US citizens are. They won't pay a fine, but US citizens will.
3.) Taxpayer funded, income-based credits for poor people to participate in the Health Insurance Exchange will end up in the hands of illegals because there is no mechanism (like SAVE) within HR 3200 to verify citizenship status.
CRS Reports are not normally made available to the public, and the timely distribution of this one shows that someone on Capitol Hill wants it to be known in the public domain.
Siskin and Lunder of CRS may have written this summation concerning the Treatment of Noncitizens in HR 3200, but I doubt it was they who released it.
I can't see any reason why the Dems would want this released, given that this report itself says that there is (in Siskin and Lunder's eyes) apparently no mechanism within HR 3200 (and there isn't) to verify citizenship status of those who wish to participate in the Health Insurance Exchange with taxpayer subsidized credits being issued to them.
No verification mechanism - no way to know who is and isn't an illegal alien.
And with a Commissioner deciding what verification mechanism there will or won't be, that is quite a loophole for illegals to get taxpayer funded federal health care benefits (subsidized credits) in the Health Insurance Exchange.
In the end, illegal aliens don't have to participate in anything, and won't pay a fine (tax) for not having health insurance, but US citizens will pay a fine for not have health insurance.
Democrat jerks.
Didn't Obama say that "Nobody has talked about giving health insurance to illegal immigrants"?
This report makes a liar out of Obama.

A new Columbus commission will give the city charter — the city's constitution — its first thorough review in 16 years.
Mayor Michael B. Coleman and City Council President Andrew J. Ginther announced creation of the Charter Review Commission yesterday to study the document that governs the city's operation. Ginther said that he and the mayor chose to begin it in a year with no municipal election so that the review could focus on policy without the burden of politics.
It's also the 100th anniversary of the charter's adoption in 1914.
"The charter has served us pretty well," Ginther said. "You always want to look for ways to improve."
The two most-recent charter reviews have had specific purposes, said Hugh J. Dorrian, the city auditor and a member of the new commission. A 1999 review led to term limits for the city's police and fire chiefs. A review in 2010 ended with the city council gaining the ability to adjourn into executive session to discuss sensitive matters. Before, all city-council meetings had to be open to the public.
The most-recent thorough review came in 1998 and brought mostly minor revisions: adding gender-neutral language throughout the charter, streamlining the nomination process for people seeking city office, and clarifying which city employees can be hired and fired by their supervisors.
"I have no preconceived agenda," Dorrian said of the latest review. "I'm going to see what suggestions are brought before us."
The commission will be led by state Rep. Michael F. Curtin, a Democrat from Marble Cliff, and Marchelle E. Moore, vice president of legal and governmental affairs and general counsel for the Central Ohio Transit Authority. Curtin is the former associate publisher of The Dispatch.
Other members are Dorrian; Jeff Cabot, executive director of Kids Voting Central Ohio; and Dawn Tyler Lee, senior vice president of community impact for United Way of Central Ohio.
"I'm not sure what all is going to surface, but I think it's healthy to have this review from time to time," Curtin said.
The commission plans to hold public meetings beginning this month. Any proposed changes would require the approval of the city council and Columbus voters.

Coke and Pepsi May Be Losing Their Fizz
More and more homo sapiens are having the same reaction, and that has companies Coca-Cola (KO) and Pepsico (PEP) sweating big, anxious drops.
In an article last weekend in The Wall Street Journal titled "Is This the End of the Soft Drink Era?", author Mike Esterl made a timely observation:
As U.S. consumption
of soda beveragesslipped over the past eight years, the beverage giants typically were able to raise prices enough to keep soda revenue growing.
But soda sales at U.S. stores declined in the send half of last year -- including the holidays, when partygoers normally pay up to gulp more.
The baby-boom generation, still over 73 million in number, is becoming more concerned about the ramifications of ingesting too much sugar or artificial sweeteners.
"The question from here is if that is the new norm," Steve Powers, a beverage analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, told the Journal after reviewing the latest store sales numbers. Last year the sale of carbonated, flavored sugary beverages (a.k.a. "soda") declined by 0.6% to $28.70 billion at American stores. In terms of volume the sales actually dropped by almost 2%.
The article quoted statistics by SymphonyIRI Group , a consulting company that claims to be "...a global leader in innovative solutions and services for the CPG, retail and health-care industries." Its clients are most of the members of the Fortune 100 CPG and retail companies.
In a news story on Tuesday, SymphonyIRI said its fourth-quarter 2012 MarketPulse survey "found that shopper sentiment dropped to its lowest point since Q3 2011. While consumers across all age groups feel the strain of ongoing economic strife, those aged 35-54 convey particularly gloomy attitudes, with 43% stating that their financial situation deteriorated in 2012."
This doesn't help the angst that management is feeling at both KO and PEP. The chart below clearly illustrates what's been unfolding when it comes to KO's share price and the trailing-twelve-month revenue-per-share direction.
There are two conclusions I draw from this chart. First, there appears to be good support at around the $36-a-share level. The second is that revenue per share, which had moved up buoyantly for most of 2012, apparently didn't fare as well in the fourth quarter, which KO reports on Feb. 12.
The analyst consensus estimate for sales revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 is $11.54 billion, an increase of 4.6% over the year-ago same quarter. Earnings (EPS) are estimated to have risen 12.8% to 44 cents per share. KO will be under tense scrutiny to come close to or exceed these numbers.

Onaway settles with Glawe; Wilcox still ongoing
ONAWAY – After settling with one of the contractors held responsible for a ferric chloride spill at Onaway's wastewater treatment plant, the city has recouped the money it spent so far to clean up the spill.
Now, City Manager Joe Hefele is hoping to leverage some of the money to get a grant to continue the remediation process.
At their Wednesday meeting, city commissioners gave Hefele the go-ahead to apply for a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to help the city fund spill cleanup work. He's planning to use $25,000 to $30,000 remaining from a settlement with contractor Glawe, Inc., as a matching portion for the grant.
"This is a problem that we have that needs to be addressed," he said. "We need to get to the end of this, and this could be dollars that help us do this without any consideration of a rate increase to help us replace (repairs and replacement) dollars."
Onaway filed suit against Glawe and Wilcox Professional Services after the city discovered a ferric chloride spill at the wastewater treatment plant in 2010, according to a press release from the city. A pipe carrying ferric chloride between the treatment plant building and one of its lagoons had been cut, releasing as much as 9,000 gallons of the toxic and corrosive substance into the soil. City officials contended the pipe had been cut some time during the plant's construction in 2003 and 2005.
In April 2012, District Court Judge Donald McLennan ruled Glawe and Wilcox were responsible for the spill and ordered the parties to meet with the city and a mediator to work out the damages.
Glawe settled for $287,500 in July 2012, Hefele said. The money will be used to recoup spill cleanup costs taken from the wastewater treatment plant's repair and replacement fund, along with the bond reserve fund, Hefele said. The city agreed with the USDA to replace the money if it was successful in its suit. The money came from the $30,000 per year the city is required to set aside for repairs or replacements at the wastewater treatment plant, and $13,900 per year for 10 years for the bond reserve fund.
Peter Worden, Glawe's attorney, said he's sure both sides were glad to resolve their differences and reach an agreement.
"As a result of that meeting, Glawe and the city were able to resolve their differences and agree to the terms of a resolution," he said.
The lawsuit against Wilcox is still ongoing, Hefele said. John Mooney, an attorney who represented the company, was unavailable for comment.
So far, the soil around the leak has been removed and the city is still installing monitoring wells, Hefele said. Along with getting guidance from Saggaser & Associates, the city is working with the Department of Environmental Quality to deal with the spill's aftermath.

Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (NYSE:LEG) is expected to report earnings of $0.58 per share when the firm issues their next quarterly results. The firm will most likely release their report on or around 2017-01-30 . This is based on the most recent information offered by Zacks.
How will actual numbers compare with the estimates? Analysts will be paying close attention to how the numbers match up. A significant swing in the stock price can cause the stock to fluctuate after the numbers are released. Last quarter, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated recorded a surprise factor of 8.06%. Meanwhile, the EPS number was $0.05 — slightly off from the analyst's research summary.
Will the stock rise or take a dive?
Price targets, according to researchers on Wall Street, range from $42 to $55. Research firms also report a standard deviation of $6.557. The consensus target from the 3 analysts providing projections currently stands at $48. The mean target was last amended on 2016-10-31. This is the short term forecast for next year.
Wall Street Tip: Who does the research?
Analysts are hired by firms on Wall Street to study stocks – that's their full time job. They research the numbers by looking at a company's balance sheet and cash flow, which helps determine the overall health of the business. This information helps the analysts predict future earnings trends. When you hear a "buy" or "sell" recommendation, that prediction is most likely based on the company's fundamentals. Investors do not take analyst's recommendations lightly – that's why you might see a stock's price change immediately after an analyst changes their outlook.
Of course, analyst recommendations should be approached with caution because sometimes a conflict of interest can arise if the analyst works has an existing relationship with the company they are paid to track. Oftentimes analysts create reports on companies that is a client of their employer. Would you want to offend a client or potential client? Neither would analysts – so be wary of a positive outlook for that reason.
How can an investor determine the consensus on a stock? Investors take the average brokerage recommendation score (ABR) to determine the consensus take on a given stock. The ABR is an average of the actual recommendations provided by analysts. It's specific to a particular stock. The ABR ranked by a range of 1 to 5 (1 representing a Strong Buy; 5 a Strong Sell). Take heed: analysts can be a bit overly optimistic on their ratings. Before an important investment decision is made, investors must take into consideration the potentially overly optimistic rank. Usually if something seems too good to be true, it is. Currently, Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (NYSE:LEG) has shares with an ABR of 2.6, based on the recommendations of 3.
This article is intended for informational purposes, and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell shares of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (NYSE:LEG).

Home of Lance ... and Great Trails - Page 2
Race ... The three-race Rogue/Vasque Trail Series in May and June includes 10K and 30K events held in Austin's parks. The competitive series draws more than 400 people to each event. Endurance buffs can enter the Rocky Hill Ranch 25K, 50K or 50-miler. "The terrain either scratches, bites or cuts," warns Joe Prusaitis, owner of Tejas Trails Endurance Trail Running (tejastrails.com), noting that rocks are ubiquitous and coarse juniper, mesquite and cedar-tree branches hang over the trails. "It's beautiful, in a Texas-sort of way," says Prusaitis.
Best trails ... The Barton Creek Greenbelt is a primary eight-mile trail that winds through the city and offers numerous spur trails. "In a couple of spots the creek is deep enough to swim," says Henry Hobbs, president of Hill Country Trail Runners, "and on hot days is an inviting place to run and cool off."
The eight-mile Lost Pines Loop in Bastrop State Park, 30 miles southeast of Austin, is roofed by giant pines and soaring loblolly trees that offer protection from the glaring sun. You'll find the most challenging terrain at Hill Country State Natural Area, near Bandera, 90 miles from Austin, which has over 30 miles of trails, including the Three Sisters Trail that ascends 2000 feet over five technical miles. "This is where you go and find out that not all of Texas is flat," says Hobbs. Or closer to the city is McKinney Roughs Park. Run for 18 miles along the Colorado River under the shade of huge cypress and pecan trees.
Go when ... Spring and fall are best for running, when temperatures range from 60 to 70 degrees. In March and April, the wildflowers bloom and the leaves stay on the trees until Thanksgiving. July and August temperatures can hit triple digits, so run before 9 a.m.
Best eats ... Open 24 hours a day and located near the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Magnolia Cafe (cafemagnolia.com) is a trail-running-community favorite, serving all-day breakfast, enchiladas and spinach lasagna. Saturday's Tacodeli Run is a group outing in which, at 13 miles into the 20-mile route, everyone stops at Tacodeli (tacodeli.com) to refuel on award-winning breakfast tacos.
Pitstop ... Go to Backwoods Equipment (backwoods.com) for trail gear and to pick up the store's bestselling book, 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Antonio and Austin for comprehensive trail beta.
Sleep ... Habitat Suites (habitatsuites.com) is Austin's Chamber of Commerce award-winning green hotel, 10 minutes from downtown. Rooms at the partly solar-powered hotel start at $137. La Villa Vista (lavillavista.com) is a relaxing and romantic bed and breakfast 16 miles from Austin, with a pool, soothing waterfalls and view of Lake Travis. Be prepared to bare all: nearby Hippie Hollow is the lake's clothing-optional area.
Resources ... Members of the Hill Country Trail Runners (hillcountrytrailrunners.com) will show you around local trails. Austin's Convention and Visitor's Bureau website (austintexas.org) is a comprehensive source for attractions and events.

Long standing medical group closes
Financial irregularities, debt and declining membership among younger doctors are behind the closure of the Jackson County Medical Society.
For 90 years, the society has supported doctor networking, provided scholarships for medical students, and helped fund impoverished patients, but at the time of closure it had debts of between $60,000 and $80,000, on an annual budget of nearly $200,000.
Society President Dr. Erich Webber said that operations lacked oversight, day to day expenses were not paid, and some older loans were not properly paid off.
The society's long serving executive director, Debra McFadden, was fired last spring.

Secretary Clinton delivered remarks on the adoption of a UNSC resolution to combat sexual violence in armed conflict.
Today, Secretary Clinton chaired a United Nations Security Council Session to adopt a strong resolution to end sexual violence against women and children in conflict-related situations. The resolution, drafted by the United States, outlines actions the UN and Member States can take to help prevent conflict-related sexual violence and end impunity. Secretary Clinton said:
"The resolution we passed today represents a step forward in our global efforts to end violence perpetrated against women and children in conflict zones, and it builds on two prior Security Council resolutions: Resolution 1325, which called on all parties in conflicts to respect women's rights and increase their participation in peace negotiations and post-conflict reconstruction efforts; and Resolution 1820, adopted last year, which affirms the ambitions set out in 1325, and establishes a clear link between maintaining international peace and security, and preventing and responding to sexual violence used as a tactic of war to target civilians."
Secretary Clinton continued: "[T]his resolution identifies specific steps that the United Nations and member-states can and should take to improve the UN response to sexual violence committed during situations of armed conflict. It calls on the Secretary General to appoint a special representative to lead, coordinate, and advocate for efforts to end sexual violence. We expect that person to engage at high levels with civilian and military leaders to spearhead the UN's activities on this front.
It also calls on the Secretary General to rapidly deploy a team of experts to work with governments to strengthen the rule of law, address impunity, and enhance accountability while drawing attention to the full range of legal venues that can be brought into play, including domestic, international, and mixed courts that bring local and international judges and prosecutors together to strengthen local justice systems.
We must also recognize that ending conflicts outright is the most certain path to ending sexual violence in conflict. So pursuing peace and successful post-conflict transitions should be our highest priority. In states where conflict is taking place and those that are moving beyond it, local police must receive better training, the rule of law must be strengthened, and survivors must be ensured full access to justice and protection throughout the judicial process. We envision that this team of experts called for in this resolution will help us strengthen initiatives like those.
Now, beyond the measures outlined in the resolution, the Security Council should take additional steps. Protecting women and children should be a critical priority for all troops who wear the blue helmet. To reflect this, new and renewed peacekeeping mandates should include language condemning sexual violence and giving further guidance to peacekeeping missions to work with local authorities to end it.
We must seek to ensure that our respective military and police forces, especially those who will participate in peacekeeping missions, develop the expertise to prevent and respond to violence against women and children. And this will be helped by increasing the number of women who serve in UN peacekeeping missions. When I visited the mission in Goma, I was very impressed at how integrated it was in every way, from every country, every kind of person represented, and many women in the leadership as well as in the ranks.
And let us not forget that it is often women who lead the call for peace in communities shattered by violence. We have seen women in this role from Liberia to Rwanda to Northern Ireland to Guatemala. Even when they suffer terrible losses in conflicts they had no part in starting, women have the will to reach across divisions, find common ground, and foster understanding. As they seek peace, so must we by making sure they are part of all efforts. So I urge UN member-states to make sure their foreign assistance programs include measures to prevent and respond to violence against women and children, and to ensure that women are included in designing and implementing those programs.
In his speech at the General Assembly last week, President Obama challenged nations of the world to assume responsibility for the challenges confronting us. Certainly, the challenge of sexual violence in conflict cannot and should not be separated from the broader security issues confronting this Council. It is time for all of us to assume our responsibility to go beyond condemning this behavior, to taking concrete steps to end it, to make it socially unacceptable, to recognize it is not cultural; it is criminal. And the more we say that over and over and over again, the more we will change attitudes, create peer pressure, and the conditions for the elimination of this violation."

Great job and awesome speech Honorable Hillary Clinton, I agree 120 percent that women and kids need to have security and they also should have defense tactics to prevent attacks. Well done!
R.W. in Missouri writes:
1. Happy 2 see Mrs. Rodham Clinton is still wearing Blue as suggested by her "colorist" during the last Presidential Campaign, via her Staff HQ.
2. In video, here, her eyes appear as tho she is fighting some virus or allergy in her eyes. Long hours I know, but; she needs to keep up her strength & health.
3. Recently located her book of 2000. Am now reading. As an Ordained Minister I don't read many secular books just 4 the sake of reading. But! It's turning into a good read.
4. Our best wishes and prayers are with her.

..Great job on the new resolution for the protection of Women & Children in conflict zones ...
...Cya.. President Hillary :)
Kenneth A. in Maryland writes:
Honorable Hillary Clinton
Secretary of State
Dear Madam Secretary:
Rape as weapon of war
We are deeply aggrieved by your statement in the Security Council meeting of 30 September 2009 presenting Resolution 1888/2009 on Women & Peace & Security that rape was used as an instrument of war in Sri Lanka. It is incomprehensible how you could make such a damning statement without a shred of evidence. Not one single case of rape was reported throughout the last Eelam War of two and a half years, either by government forces or by the LTTE terrorists. We cannot but conclude that you were unfortunately influenced to make such a statement by the powerful LTTE propaganda machine that is spending enormous sums of money in U.S. political circles using the resources that they extort from the Sri Lankan Tamil community in North America.
We have over 200,000 Sri Lankan-American voters in the USA and they overwhelmingly voted for you and the Democratic Party at the last election. Most of us voted for you in the Democratic Presidential primaries as we felt that you had the maturity and courage to lead our nation in a time of crisis. Many of us sent individual contributions to your campaign. We are now shocked and disappointed by your unwarranted criticism of a democratic nation trying to come to its feet after 30 years of terrorist violence. You have only to check the CIA website to see that the LTTE was the worst terrorist organization in the world.
It is hoped that you will correct this injustice by making a public correction of your wrong statement made as a result of a lack of proper information.
Kenneth A.
Coordinator, Friends of Sri Lanka in USA (FOSUS)
Sunny K. writes:
Yes, one should challenge all nations, including the U.S., to protect women (and men) from sexual violence. However, I urge Secretary Clinton (and other world leaders) to be cautious when making broad accusations when no evidence is available (as in the case of Sri Lanka) - doing so hurts those of us who have worked hard to change the status quo around the world.
Please lets get our facts right before we speak!
Monang S. in Indonesia writes:
Sexual Violence should be stop a soon as possible. But the most important think is, to stop the conflict everywhere in the world. The conflict should be replace with working together to build the world.

Went to see the movie Argo last Thursday and, when a fully-bearded Ben Affleck appeared on screen, I thought: "Holy cow, Jason Garrison!" In Argo, Affleck plays the role of CIA agent Tony Mendez and rocks a full beard almost identical to the one Garrison sports on a regular basis. So when we finally caught up Monday to the injured Vancouver Canuck blueliner, we had to ask him whether he and Affleck were separated at birth. "It's funny you mention that," he chuckled, "because I did have a couple of people comment to me about it. It's tough to say who is the better looking one. Obviously I'm going to check out the movie and see the resemblance." Believe it, Jason. You and Ben could be twins …

In short: A good challenge for my first race. Next year I will know where the hills are.Date of review: February 6, 2007
In short: A lovely way to spend a frosty winter morning.In full: A good varied course and an opportunity to try my new fell running shoes whgich easily coped with the mud and frosty grass. Only one really tough hill but we were rewarded with the sound of church bells as we headed down the other side.Lack of distanc emarkers not a problem until I heard cheering towards the end only to find it was a football match and there was still half a mile to go.Lovely hot showers and clean (before us!) changing rooms.The coaster made a change although info on this site promised a horse brass. Perhaps I'll have to do it again next year.Date of review: February 6, 2007
In short: No better way to spend a crisp sunny Sunday morning,in a word glorious!Date of review: February 6, 2007

In short: Had a great time on a sty-lish scenic course !!!Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Very nice raceIn full: After reading all of the threads i was scared about this one but wasnt half as bad as i had imagined. Loved the bits of mud and the many hills. Very scenic and enjoyable. Not the type of course you get a PB at because of the crowds bunching up at fences/ gates.It would have been nice to see mile markers even though not vital. Toilets were locked when i got there so was forced to water bushes - very thankful i didnt need a number two. Really enjoyed the run itself and will do again but was surprised at being given only a coaster, not even a carrier bag with a banana or bottle of water. Maybe i just have built up expectations...Date of review: February 5, 2007

How bout a short messy hairdo for fall ladies? Olivia looks stunning with her gorgeous and rebellious short pixie. A great thing to keep in consideration when going short is to always make sure you are going with a short cut that works with your facial shapes. For example this layered pixie works super well with women who have a square or heart shaped faces. Another key into getting this looks is making sure the layers are really poignant giving every strand different lengths.

What's the first thing you want to do when you get your ticket? In all likelihood, you want to go somewhere…and you want to take a passenger with you.
Sharing the joy of flying is one of the very best parts of learning to fly. It's why we often ask brand-new pilots, "Who's your first passenger?" Who gets to share that astounding experience of climbing into an airplane and taking off on an adventure?
Sadly, some folks don't have anyone to share flying with. In 10 years with AOPA, I've read many letters and forum posts, and heard many personal stories from sad pilots who can't get the important people in their lives to fly with them. I wrote an article several years back suggesting strategies to coax your spouse or significant other into at least climbing into the cockpit with you for one trip around the pattern.
But I often wonder if we're not missing an opportunity while we're in training. If we do some advance planning and consult with our flight instructor, we can bring along someone on an instructional flight. Now obviously I'm not talking about subjecting your spouse to stall recovery or a session of engine-out practice. But why shouldn't he or she ride along in the backseat for a dual cross-country? Or better yet, when it's time for night flight? (Night time flying is generally smooth, which makes it a nicer experience for the passenger.)
Ad added bonus is that your special someone gets to see you operating the airplane with the added security of a flight instructor on board for his or her first time flying with you. This is a probably more of a psychological plus than anything else, but if it helps to soothe the jangled nerves of a nonpilot, why not?
Passengers can create unnecessary distractions, of course, so plan for that. (Don't, for example, try to do a preflight with your spouse hanging off your elbow.) And do talk to your flight instructor about whether this is feasible for you. He or she will likely have some good suggestions on flights where this would be a good idea versus flights where this would decidedly not be a good idea (see: my stall recovery reference, above), and he'll want to check your weight-and-balance calculations.

Golf carts become an issue
SHADYSIDE – Council members Monday night discussed the age restrictions needed to operate a golf cart within village limits.
Councilman John Tipton brought the issue to council's attention after seeing numerous children drive golf carts through town. In order to operate a golf cart, the driver must be a licensed driver, as stated in a village ordinance.
The number of golf carts in town has increased. The criteria for golf carts within village limits must meet the same standards as a car with brakes, lights and seat belts.
It was also brought to the attention of council members that residents have reportedly seen youths racing the golf carts within village limits.
Mayor Bob Newhart raised the question whether council can enforce infant car seats on golf carts after seeing operators holding infant children with the cart is in motion.
Councilwoman Connie Gross also brought to council's attention that children are operating motorized bicycles and scooters on the village's sidewalks.
"I have noticed that now that we have mild weather that I have seen several young kids out on various motorized-type of vehicles," said Gross. "I looked at the ordinance and there is an ordinance against riding a motorized bicycle on any sidewalk and I have notice a little girl on a battery- powered scooter. It's dangerous for these kids."
"Council wants the children to be careful," said Newhart who will talk to Police Chief Rusty Patt about making more citizens aware of the village's rules on operating golf carts and other motorized vehicles.

Area School Districts Convert To Optical Scan Ballots
MAYVILLE – Forestville Central School will join three other county school districts using paper ballot optical scan voting machines for school elections, according to the Chautauqua County Board of Elections.
"We received word (recently) that Forestville has signed up to use our services," said Brian C. Abram, Republican election commissioner. "They will be joining Cassadaga Valley, Bemus Point and Ripley as schools who have converted to the paper ballot voting process used by voters for most other elections."
The Board of Elections estimated it will cost $328.70 for the county to run the Forestville school elections. The quote included the delivery of the optical scan voting machines, printing of Election Day ballots and absentee ballots. Also included is the programming of the voting machine, delivery of the voting machine, technical support for operation of the accessibility features allowing for special needs voters to vote without assistance.
"Other counties in New York continue to grapple with the costs associated with optical scan voting," said Norman P. Green, Democratic election commissioner. "Chautauqua County has stepped up and driven down the price of paper ballot voting with our in-house printing operation and our elections staff changing from an office operation to a physical field operation that programs, delivers and supports county owned voting machines. Downstate boards of elections continue to struggle to deliver on time and cost effective elections and their prospective school and village partners keep looking for extensions on the date that the old mechanical lever voting machine can no longer be used by schools and villages. In Western New York, Erie County and Chautauqua County have proven that optical scan voting can be affordable and dependable."
Green and Abram said that the advantage of paper ballot optical scan voting is that often cheaper or at least competitive pricing when compared with mechanical lever voting, the ability to recreate and prove any election by the hand counting of ballots, elimination of human errors when canvassing the election result, unassisted private voting for any voter with any disability, and Spanish language ballots for the United States born full American citizens from Puerto Rico who now live in Jamestown and Dunkirk.
In other election news, Fredonia and Falconer are looking to join Celoron in moving village elections to the November general election. The two villages have a referendum on their March village election ballot asking voters to approve the move which will eliminate all election costs now directly paid by village taxpayers.
The Board of Elections conducts the elections for 13 of the 15 county villages.

I think the depth of the Canadian program should be a wake up call to the youth programs in this country. Youth hockey in America does such a noble job of turning out players and they should be commended.Obviously, there is still some work to do.
A town like Cleveland can be a place where youth hockey can turn out players that can compete in these international tournaments. The growth in NEO over the last 10 years has been phenomenal. It needs to remain strong and that is going to take a lot of parents volunteers and people who just care about the game.
In Canada, the game is damned near a religion and many towns have an enclosed rink. They also get lots of volunteer help and it is a true community event like football is in many towns in America.
I think the American NHL teams need to band together to make an extra effort to get the game into communities in their towns. It would also help to get the game into more remote areas and not just into suburbs.How about getting hockey into places like Steubenville, Ashtabula, Sandusky, Defiance or Marion? They are small self-sustaining towns and we need a few more towns like that with rinks and programs across the country to make a competitive American international team a reality in the future.
A lot of the college towns in this state have youth hockey for the kids in town (Bowling Green, Oxford, and Kent among those) and places like Findlay and Fremont also have youth hockey.But it will take more towns like those to start programs and get kids to participate. Look at a player like Boll from the Blue Jackets. He's from North Carolina! That is how American hockey will eventually gain parity with Canada...when the players don't just come from the Minnesotas, Michigans and Massachusettses of this country.

Elpida Memory, the world's No. 3 supplier of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), announced drop of plans to acquire memory manufacturers from Taiwan since managements of the latter do not want this. Instead, Elpida will continue to outsource production of DRAM to Taiwan and will look at China.
"Most Taiwan DRAM companies' presidents don't want integration. We are better having many product lines with Taiwan DRAM companies," said Yukio Sakamoto, chief executive officer of Elpida, at a press conference, reports Bloomberg news-agency.
For several years now Elpida has been trying to acquire stakes in Taiwan-based DRAM makers and even once attempted to form a large memory conglomerate with support from the Taiwanese government. While the "Taiwan Memory Company" eventually failed, Elpida still saw success with its expansion plans: the Rexchip Semiconductor (a joint venture between Elpida and Powerchip Semiconductor) is ramping up manufacturing and Powerchip recently decided to sell its whole DRAM output to Elpida. Besides, the company managed to establish relations with Winbond over manufacturing of GDDR5. In addition, Elpida is still considering buying a stake in ProMOS Technologies.
However, facing the opposition of numerous Taiwan-based companies when it comes to integration, Elpida's primary strategy will be changed. Instead of trying to acquire those manufacturers, the Japan-based DRAM supplier will attempt to collaborate with them to "enter China".
"We 100 percent agree to jointly move into China, because if we move into China by ourselves, we've a 99.99 percent chance to fail," said Mr. Sakamoto without elaborating.

The Packers hit the field for the first time since their Saturday night scrimmage at Lambeau Field, and it was clear that the defense had a better day than the offense. Head Coach Mike McCarthy launched into several tirades over poor execution, and even called out veteran DL Ryan Pickett for being offsides. Most of the issues though were on the offensive side of the football with dropped passes, poorly thrown balls, and pre-snap penalties. In fact, it seemed like Aaron Rodgers and James Jones were the only two offensive players consistently on the same page, hooking up several times. Jermichael Finley also continued his strong camp with a great catch during the 2-minute drill for a touchdown in traffic. On defense, Jamari Lattimore had several big hits in this morning's workout.
Young looks like the player that everyone thought he would be coming out of college, and is very impressive in terms of stature. The big question is how fast he will pick up the system and truly challenge for the #2 QB job behind Aaron Rodgers. Young didn't do much today and basically handed off the football during any sort of team session, but he did zip a few footballs to WR's that made you see why Ted Thompson gave him a solid look. Young handled himself very well during his media interview in the lockerroom and only time will tell how he fits into the Packers long term agenda.
On the injury front, Jordy Nelson will be out after having a knee procedure and McCarthy said that he hopes for his return by the season opener against San Francisco. DE Datone Jones was out due to illness, while Randall Cobb had an issue with his bicep that limited him late in today's practice. RB Alex Green and TE Ryan Taylor both have knee issues and there is no timetable for either of their returns. Former Packer GM Ron Wolf was also in attendance at today's practice but kept a pretty low profile while perusing the sidelines.
The Packers return to Ray Nitschke Field at 8:20 a.m. on Wednesday. McCarthy said the instillation phase of camp wrapped up today, and they will turn the page toward game-planning for Arizona.

Paris: Lockheed, CAE form F-35 Lightning II Training Alliance
Lockheed Martin on the first day of the 2013 Paris Air Show signed an agreement with Quebec-based CAE, designating the flight training company as a preferred in-country provider of F-35 training support.
(Steve O'Bryan, of Lockheed Martin--right--signing the MoU with Gene Colabatistto, Group President – Military, CAE. Photo, courtesy of Lockheed Martin.)
The memorandum of understanding builds on the past relationship between the two companies, as CAE is also a preferred provider of flight training for the C-130 military transport aircraft. CAE signed the agreement in anticipation of the Canadian government selecting the F-35 for the Royal Canadian Air Force.
"Simulation-based training continues to grow in importance for defense forces as a cost-effective means of ensuring mission readiness," said Gene Colabatistto, group president of defense and security at CAE.
The F-35 Lightning II is expected to reach Initial Operational Capability for the U.S. Marine Corps in 2015, followed by the Air Force in 2016 and the Navy in 2019.
