What are analysts saying about Cigna Corporation stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cigna Corporation stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cigna's shares have outperformed the industry, year to date. The company's second-quarter 2017 earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and increased year over year, reflecting strong contribution from each of the company's business segments. The company is poised for long-term growth on the back of its robust Global Supplemental business, growing Government business and increasing membership. A strong capital position and resumption of share buyback are the other positives. Cigna is engaged in a legal tussle with Anthem and thus the termination fee and other charges that it were to receive from the latter remain uncertain. Increase in benefits and expenses continue to bother us." (8/8/2017) 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "CI reported Q2:17 adjusted EPS of $2.91 (GAAP $3.15), compared to OPCO's estimate of $2.46 and Street consensus of $2.45. Adjusted results exclude $0.13 of realized investment gains and $0.18 from merger-related tax benefits, offset by $0.07 of amortization expense. The beat was driven by the Healthcare segment, with the Commercial MCR of 78.7% outperforming OPCO/Street estimates by 200/160 bps. Due to the beat, the company raised FY2017 EPS guidance to $9.75-$10.05 vs. $9.35-$9.85, with all three segment outlooks growing by $15-$40M."

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: 1 Hold Rating, 13 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Buy (Score: 2.93)Consensus Price Target: $185.86 (1.71% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for Cigna Corporation (NYSE:CI) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails9/17/2017Piper Jaffray CompaniesReiterated RatingBuy$191.00Low8/17/2017Morgan StanleyBoost Price TargetOverweight$188.00 -> $195.00Low8/9/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaReiterated RatingBuy$185.00High8/7/2017Citigroup Inc.Boost Price TargetBuy$185.00 -> $198.00Low8/7/2017Deutsche Bank AGBoost Price TargetBuy$180.00 -> $190.00Low8/4/2017Credit Suisse GroupReiterated RatingBuy$196.00High8/4/2017Jefferies Group LLCReiterated RatingBuy$199.00 -> $190.00Low6/23/2017Bank of America CorporationBoost Price TargetBuy$193.00 -> $198.00Medium6/19/2017Wells Fargo & CompanyReiterated RatingMarket Perform$163.00 -> $174.00Low6/15/2017CIBCBoost Price TargetOutperform$174.00 -> $185.00Medium6/15/2017Oppenheimer Holdings, Inc.Boost Price TargetOutperform$174.00 -> $185.00Low6/1/2017Cowen and CompanyReiterated RatingOutperform$160.00 -> $185.00Low5/15/2017Stifel NicolausBoost Price TargetBuy$170.00 -> $175.00N/A9/26/2016Leerink SwannReiterated RatingBuy$155.00N/A9/22/2016Evercore ISIInitiated CoverageHold$134.00N/A9/8/2016Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

If you love me…. feed my sheep.
In John 21 Jesus, the Good Shepherd seemed to be relegating this task to Simon Peter and his disciples. Now that they are gone, this remains the responsibility of all God's faithful servants.
Time and time again we read in scripture about our responsibility to care for Jesus' flock. For instance:
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.
These words inspire the mission of the outreach at St. Matthias.
Our Thanksgiving Project at St. Matthias is a year long event. Preparation began in February so that we could better refine our efforts for the next season. Likewise, this will not be the only effort we engage in to care for our brothers and sisters in need; for we are not called to follow our Lord only on Sunday or holidays or when convenient.
We are called with a sense of urgency every day just like Simon Peter and the first disciples on that day when Jesus asked, not once, but three times, "Do you love me?" We know His reply!

With a combination of remarkable visuals, electrifying sci-fi action, a captivating story, and a solid ensemble cast, "Ender's Game" captures the spirit of Orson Scott Card's bestselling novel.
Humanity is under threat of invasion by the Formics (aka "Buggers"), an alien race that nearly wiped them out years ago.
To prepare for the next conflict, the International Fleet recruits and trains the best young children, intent on finding the one who could achieve victory and become a hero like the legendary Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley).
The shy but brilliant Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield) is selected to attend the famous Battle School, where he quickly proves himself a master at the war games and earns respect among his fellow soldiers-in-training, including Petra Arkanian (Hailee Steinfeld).
Before Ender knows it, he's soon proclaimed by Col. Graff (Harrison Ford) as humanity's greatest future hero and advances him to Command School.
In spite of his tactical genius, however, Ender is still a kid, and as time goes by, the toll of his violent training sessions begins to get to him, and he struggles to understand what he's really fighting for.
Those are tough questions for a kid to answer, and not the kind you'd usually see in a science fiction blockbuster that's meant to appeal to a wide audience.
And yet, somehow, "Ender's Game" manages to make the best of both worlds and scores two big points as a result.
The visual effects are beautiful; there was more than one occasion in which I leaned forward in my seat upon seeing the Battle School located in Earth's orbit come into view.
But inside the station, into the battle room where much of the training happens, that's where moviegoers are guaranteed to lose themselves in a world many of us dream of seeing.
Once the audience gets there, a good number of people are going to get a kick out of director Gavin Hood's excellent handling of the zero gravity action sequences.
Watching Ender and his classmates face off against each other while floating around in a vacuum shooting guns more than once never ceased to amaze me, thanks to the actors' precise timing and coordination. Ah, if only action choreography was this mesmerizing in every movie!
Underneath those layers of pristine CGI and well-choreographed set pieces is the story of a boy whose journey changes him from the inside out, for better or worse.
It's impossible not to experience shock at the violence Ender finds himself having to resort to, and even after the film has ended, that feeling continues to linger.
At the same time, though, he's the kind of person we want to see win no matter what odds he faces, even if said odds don't have pleasant implications. Kudos to author Card for writing such a nuanced story from which nobody will walk away untouched.
I'm also pleased to say that none of the weighty issues the story tackles are watered-down; overlooking the use of children in warfare, morality in times of conflict, and the cost of achieving peace would've been foolish.
The good news is that Hood never insults the audience's intelligence either, as he retains the source material's thematic complexity without making it overly complicated.
It's really the cast I should thank for exploring these themes in depth; topics mean nothing if they don't have a mouthpiece through which to communicate.
Asa Butterfield takes up the mantle of Ender and nails it; he brings out the character's compassion and ruthlessness with flying colors.
Hailee Steinfeld never holds back in embodying Petra's courage and selflessness.
Abigail Breslin, who plays Ender's sister Valentine, has a warm presence that helps to keep the story going in its darkest hours.
Harrison Ford lives up to Colonel Graff's reputation as a "do-whatever-it-takes" man, and Viola Davis exudes Major Anderson's conscience with effortless grace.
As for Sir Ben Kingsley…well, there's very little he can't do in his few scenes as the charismatic Mazer Rackham.
Fans and non-fans alike, when "Ender's Game" hits theaters, I recommend you check it out.
It is not only a worthy adaptation of Card's novel, but also an intelligent, exciting movie in its own right.
MPAA rating: PG-13 for some violence, sci-fi action and thematic material.
Running time: 1 hour and 54 minutes
Playing: In general release

I once wrote this a post about three questions I use when marriages are in trouble. These are progressive questions and it's vital they be answered in order.
The three questions are simple:
- Where do you want this marriage to go?
- How are you going to get there?
- Are you willing to pay the price?
You can read that full post HERE.
These sound like simple questions, but for a marriage in trouble they are very difficult to answer. One problem I see is that couples try to address questions 2 and 3 before answering question number 1. It almost never works.
Let me give you an example…this is about as real an example as I can offer, because I've seen the exact scenario dozens of times:
A wife decides she has had enough and announces she's done with the marriage. This kicks the husband into action…he's been clueless until now that there was a problem…and so he does everything he knows how to save the marriage…he begs…he agrees to counseling…he starts reading books…he talks to the pastor…he makes suggested changes…etc…etc….etc…
The problem is that none of those actions change the wife's decision not to stay and the man grows frustrated. He thinks he's done everything ask of him, so he's tempted to give up…revert back to his old ways…and nothing changes…she grows even more frustrated…and the marriage never improves.
Why? Because question number 1 was never answered. The wife (or husband as the case may be) never decided what she really wants from the marriage. Until she (or he) does, every action is just a bandaid on the real wound. When a wife (or husband) decides she wants the marriage to work, she will be willing to make the necessary adjustments to get there.
Have you ever been stuck at step one? Do you see why the other steps won't work until you answer the first?

Esther Kletzky, the mother of Leiby, first call was not to the police, frantic and worried after her child went missing her first call was to the Boro Park Shomrim, the local neighborhoods Jewish volunteer patrol.
About 45 minutes after her 8-year-old son failed to show up at a book store where he was supposed to meet his family, Esther Kletzky called the local authorities.
In most neighborhoods, that would mean dialing the police.
But for many in Brooklyn, like Ms. Kletzky and others in Orthodox Jewish communities, that first call for help is often to the local civilian patrol.
Ms. Kletzky contacted the Brooklyn South Shomrim Safety Patrol at 6:14 p.m. Monday, and they began searching for her son, Leiby. Eventually, the Brooklyn South Shomrim called for assistance—from the Flatbush Shomrim Safety Patrol.
The boy's father, Nachman Kletzsky, did not contact the New York Police Department until 8:30 p.m., nearly three hours after Leiby left a day camp by himself, got lost and, police said, encountered the man who would abduct and murder him.
Leiby's remains were found early Wednesday; 35-year-old Levi Aron, who did not know the boy, was charged in his murder. On Friday, a note was posted outside the Kletzkys' Borough Park home thanking "all from around the world, who had us in their thoughts and prayers."
Asked this week if the delay in calling police might have made a difference in finding the boy earlier, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "in this particular case, I don't see anything that could have been done with a quicker notification."
Still, Mr. Kelly said, "make no mistake about it: We want to be notified right away. We don't think it's a good idea to lag in notification to the police."
The case—which has garnered worldwide attention—represents one of the more stark examples of the complicated push-pull between the NYPD and the city's four shomrim safety patrols.
The first shomrim, a word derived from the Hebrew word for "guard," was established in Brooklyn in the early 1980s. There are also patrols in Williamsburg and Crown Heights.
Leaders say the volunteer groups act as extra sets of eyes and ears for the NYPD, and sometimes more. Last month, the Williamsburg shomrim followed a man suspected of attacking a rabbi and held him for police. In April, volunteers from the Flatbush shomrim followed an armed robbery suspect and called police.
There is, however, suspicion among NYPD ranks that the patrols do not report every crime to police in an attempt, some officials believe, to protect members of their own community.
There have been allegations of shomrim volunteers using excessive force, especially with outsiders. Crown Heights Shomrim member Josef Prus was convicted of assault charges in a 1996 incident in which he repeatedly hit a man over the head with his walkie-talkie after the man was subdued.
"We are businessmen, we're husbands, we're fathers, we're grandfathers," said Bob Moscovitz, the coordinator of the Flatbush Shomrim Safety Patrol. "We're not vigilantes. We're out there taking care of our community."
Jacob Daskal, coordinator for the Brooklyn South Shomrim, said the group reported Leiby's disappearance to the NYPD around 8:30 p.m. on Monday. Police officials could not confirm that account Friday but said the first 911 call about the missing boy was from his father.
"It wouldn't have mattered," said Mr. Daskal, who founded the patrol 26 years ago. "And the police wouldn't have come right away."
Mr. Kelly acknowledged the delicate relationship this week when he said delays in notifying police "is a long-standing issue" with the shomrim.
He quickly added, "but we also understand that certain members of the community have confidence in shomrim and they go to them first. We'd like them [shomrim] to also come to us when they receive reports of crime and certainly missing children and that sort of thing."
Some of the shomrim have patrol cars that look like NYPD cars, complete with the agency's CPR—Courtesy, Professionalism and Respect—emblem on the side. But most of the members are unpaid volunteers who often use their own vehicles to patrol. Mr. Daskal said volunteers are thoroughly vetted, and fingerprints are sent to the NYPD to check for criminal records.
"We are not affiliated," Mr. Moscovitz said. "We all serve the communities, but we all have our own protocols. We all do our own things."
However, when it comes to a high-profile cases, the shomrim often combine forces.
The Flatbush shomrim has what Mr. Moscovitz called a "state-of-the-art" command center with fax machines, computers and printer and gets pressed into service at many emergencies in Orthodox Jewish communities in the other parts of the city and upstate, he said.
Mr. Moscovitz and Mr. Daskal said that when they receive a report of an obvious crime or serious incident, they call police immediately.
"I would prefer they call 911 first," Mr. Daskal said. "We are not the police. We can be their eyes and ears and help them out, but we are not the police."
In the case of Leiby's disappearance, thousands of volunteers swept his neighborhood nearly non-stop for almost two days.
Because the shomrim answer every call and respond quickly, and because they are comprised of members of the tight-knit neighborhoods, they've gained trust.
"They [NYPD] are doing a great job…but if they see a suspicious person they can't follow them for four or five hours like we do," Mr. Daskal said.
Rachel, a 38-year-old Borough Park woman who would not provide her last name, said when the shomrim patrol is called, "they come flying. They'll get the guy, and they'll hold him until police come."
Abe Moskowitz of Borough Park, said this winter, when he called the safety patrol and police about vandals, only the shomrim showed up. "Sometimes the police ignore you," he said. "I called the shomrim and they got there right away."
Mr. Moscovitz, of the Flatbush safety patrol, said Leiby's disappearance and murder is not likely to change accepted protocols in their communities.
"People will call the police department when they feel comfortable calling the police department and will call us when they feel comfortable calling us," he said.


text: Due to the geometrical structure and ventilation configuration of naturally ventilated livestock buildings the animal occupied zone can experience large heterogeneities in ventilation efficiency. Ensuring a homogeneous indoor environment is important when designing naturally livestock buildings as producers should be confident that all animals are receiving the same environmental conditions, at least for the prevailing climate. Moreover, by including climate homogeneity in the building design process, the occurrence of high airspeeds in specific regions of a building can be reduced during windy outdoor conditions, thereby reducing the cold-stressing of animals in these regions. Therefore, it is desirable to know how to alter the geometrical features of a building in order to promote homogeneity in the indoor environment. In the present study, response surface methodology and computational fluid dynamics were used to develop predictive models that described the homogeneity of the indoor environment of a naturally ventilated livestock building as a function of its geometry and ventilation configuration. Three different eave opening conditions were chosen in order to improve the applicability of the developed response surfaces to practical situations encountered in Ireland. Results showed that for high to medium porosity eave opening conditions the environmental homogeneity was most sensitive to the building's roof pitch. However, when low porosity eave opening conditions were used the homogeneity was found to be highly sensitive to the sidewall height. Overall, this study found that modifying the building geometry has the greatest effect on environmental heterogeneity when the most restrictive eave opening condition was employed. It is also hoped that with the developed equations, a designer can subsequently select the best combination of design variables in order to achieve good uniformity in a naturally ventilated calf building.

Mine were dark purples. They looked nothing like the picture. No white or 'streamers' or chocolate anywhere.

I planted a few of these seeds inside a few weeks before the last frost and transplanted them outside in late March. They flourished in the cool weather and have stopped growing up at about three feet high. Now they are pumping out loads of gorgeous, delicious smelling blossoms. Strangely, the flowers are not the same color as in the photo but a mix of solid fuchsia flowers and some white with fuchsia specks closer to the product picture. I wonder if they would have grown taller if they hadn't been in full sun (I think they got too hot and some of the leaves got burned). Still beautiful and filling my whole balcony with lovely fragrance!

SANTA ANA – The City Council recently approved donating the city's historic 1921 Seagrave fire truck and $5,000 to the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society.
The society is in the final stages of a merger agreement with the Santa Ana Fire Museum to continue operating the museum at what is now Orange County Fire Authority Station 75, said Tim Rush, who chairs the society's committee on the transition.
The museum will exhibit the truck, which is also used in civic events. The society is also seeking an agreement to maintain plaques at Stations 74 and 75 that memorialize deceased members of the Santa Ana Fire Department.
The authority took over city fire services last year.

The Housing Finance Agency and the Department of the Environment are providing funding to voluntary housing body Túath to purchase 117 homes for people on the social housing list.
The homes are in Finglas and Beaumont in Dublin.
The development comes as the housing crisis tops the political agenda, with tight supply and unprecedented numbers in emergency accommodation.
The properties are being purchased from a private developer and will be rented to those in need of social housing.
The first homes are due to be handed over for occupation in the coming months and the other properties will be taken over before the end of the year.
The Housing Finance Agency has provided funding at 3.25% for 25 years to fund the purchase of the homes.
Túath is a voluntary housing body which, together with the Housing Finance Agency, can assess funds from the European Investment Bank.
Túath provides 2,300 homes at an average rent of €55 per week.
Members of the Beaumount Residents Association have raised concerns about Túath purchasing the homes.
One committee member Ann Cullen said the organisation did not object to social housing but had a concern about 100% of an estate being bought by Túath.
Development director with Túath Bronagh D'Arcy said the organisation would work with local residents.

NEIL LENNON insists Johan Mjallby's decision to quit as his assistant is in no way linked to speculation about his own future in charge of the club.
"It's not connected at all," said the Hoops boss.
"It's Johan's decision. It's been in the pipeline for quite a while. We talked about it months ago."
Lennon has begun to headhunt the man to replace the Swede, and revealed news of Mjallby's departure has prompted a flood of applications.
Three men already widely tipped are already ruled out for the No.2 spot.
Of current first-team coach, Garry Parker, Lennon said: "I'm looking for a No 2, so I won't promote Garry."
Of development squad coach John Kennedy, he said: "It's too early for John just yet, and he is quite happy doing what he's doing."
And of former team-mate and club icon Henrik Larsson, Lennon said: "No, Henrik's just got a job in Sweden, and I'm not too sure he'd want to come in as a No.2.
"I think he likes doing his own thing and I'd probably be looking for someone with a bit more experience than that."
Even though Parker and Kennedy are not in the frame, Lennon has not discounted promoting from within the club, saying: "That's an option, certainly. But the phone has been red hot already this week.
"I will sit down with Peter Lawwell within the next couple of weeks and go through some candidates.
"There is no rush, but it is an important decision I'd like to get right."
Lennon wants the new man to be in situ by the time the squad return from their summer break on June 24.
He hopes to attend the opening stages of the World Cup Finals in Brazil, so it would be preferable if his assistant is appointed before he heads out there.
Lennon admits he tried to talk Mjallby into staying, but respects his former team-mate's reasons for moving on.
"He's got his own ambitions and interests he wants to pursue," said the Hoops boss.
"I tried to talk him out of it on a few occasions. But you know Johan, he's very strong-minded.
"He thought four years was enough. He's been away from his family for over 18 months, and that can take its toll as well.
"So I fully understand it. I'm very disappointed, obviously, because he's been with me since day one.
"He was my confidante, and someone whose opinion I really trusted and still do.
"Even if I do bring in someone from the outside, there's got to be a feeling from myself I can go to this guy, I can pick his brains, or I can trust his opinion.
"Now whether I agree with it - and I didn't always agree with Johan - is another matter.
"Ultimately, the decision is mine when it comes to football and ultimately the decision will be mine on who I bring in."
Mjallby - who has business interests in his homeland - is already on the radar of his previous club, AIK Stockholm.
AND, although Lennon would like to work with him again in the future, he believes Mjallby could become a boss in his own right.
He added: "He's certainly got the personality for it and the experience of the four years he has had here to stand him in good stead wherever he goes."
Lennon wants to find another assistant will all of the qualities that Mjallby brought to the job.
But the prospect of introducing someone with new ideas clearly excites him.
Lennon said of the applicants already in touch: "I've been impressed.
"CVs have come in as well, and it's something to pore over.
"Ideally, if the guy is astute on the training ground, he might bring something fresh to what we are doing here - maybe European experience as well.
"That's not a necessity, but it would certainly help. It doesn't have to be someone I know, but it might be.
"It's important the person we bring in will have a rapport with the players as well. So we'll have to gauge his personality, too."
While he makes plan for his fifth season in the job, Lennon took time to consider how Ryan Giggs must be feeling as he prepares to be interim manager of Manchester United for the first time today.
It brought back memories of when he was pitched into a similar situation four years ago, and Lennon said of the parallels: "If there is an opportunity there for Ryan to take it, he should grab it with both hands and try and make the most of it.
"He's got nothing to lose. If anyone deserves a crack at it, it would be Ryan Giggs, for the service he has given to Man United over the years."
HOWEVER, Lennon is bitterly disappointed Giggs' opportunity is the result of David Moyes' sacking.
He said: "What appalled me was the way David was treated, certainly over the last three or four months, to the point where people were trying to humiliate the man.
"So, yes, I'm surprised they sacked him.
"Being Man United, you just felt, with the way they had been run for the last 15 years, they would have given him a bit more time and been a bit more understanding, in the circumstances.
"It's indicative of the way the game is going. It's certainly a worry for all managers when you see that sort of thing happening.
"It's almost as if the 11 years he had at Everton have been wiped out. People have forgotten about them.
"What disappointed me last week was the reaction he got from the Everton fans. It was really disappointing, considering the sweat that he put into that club.
"Eleven years is a lifetime. They are reaping the rewards. Roberto Martinez has come in, but the platform was already in place and was put there by David."

Using Scoutmob to Reach Plugged-In Consumers
Marketing with daily deals can be a terrifying proposition for first-time business owners, many of whom are scared of getting in over their heads by running deals with margins that aren't financially sustainable. Scoutmob is a mobile deal platform developed with these types of cautious merchants in mind. The company helps businesses retain control over the deals they offer by limiting the value of those promotions and doing away with the high commission fees that competing deal platforms have become known for.
How it works: Scoutmob subscribers who download the company's mobile application receive immediate notifications when new deals are added in their local areas. These deals are typically for 50 percent-off at restaurants, cafes, shops and salons, with a maximum discount of $10 or $20. Unlike traditional daily deals, customers don't pay in advance for Scoutmob's offers. Instead, subscribers go directly to participating businesses and hit a special button in the Scoutmob mobile application when they're ready to pay. After looking at a customer's smartphone to verify the deal, a server or merchant will automatically take the value off of the total ticket price. Customers pay businesses just as they normally would—minus the Scoutmob discount—and merchants pay a flat fee to Scoutmob based on the number of customers who redeem their deals during the three-month period while their promotions are live.
Scoutmob in action: Merchants in more than 20 cities nationwide are using Scoutmob as a way to attract customers without giving away huge margins in the process. The company charges merchants a flat $2 fee for each converted customer, as opposed to the 50 percent commission that deal companies usually take for each voucher sold. Merchants that use Scoutmob are also able to limit their financial exposure by placing strict restrictions on the deals they offer. At Holiday Hair Studio in Portland, Ore., owner Robin Carlisle ran a Scoutmob deal that gave new clients 50 percent-off, for up to $30 in haircutting services. Most clients at Holiday Hair Studio pay more than $30 for haircuts, which meant Carlisle was actually taking much less than 50 percent off of the total price tag for each Scoutmob customer. Half of the clients who took part in Carlisle's Scoutmob deal have visited her salon again, and many have recommended her business to their friends.
Why it works: Scoutmob is less about generating immediate revenue for businesses and more about helping them build up a solid base of new clientele. Subscribers are likely to make spur-of-the-moment visits to the businesses featured by Scoutmob, in large part because they don't have to worry about purchasing coupons in advance or printing out paper receipts. The company's mobile application is built in a way that rewards customers for discovering new establishments near their current locations, and gives people discounts for trying hidden gems in their own neighborhoods. In addition to its lists of discount offers, the application includes a news feed and community event listings. By serving as a pocket guide for all things local, Scoutmob has positioned itself as more than just a deal site in the eyes of many consumers.
Maximizing the benefits: Small-business owners that work with Scoutmob don't have to worry about keeping track of how many purchased vouchers have already been redeemed, since consumers don't download Scoutmob deals until they are ready to complete their transactions. Instead, merchants can focus their energies on keeping their Scoutmob customers coming back after the three-month discount period is through. One of the smartest ways to do this is by offering "Return Perks," which are secondary offers for customers who make repeat visits to an establishment within three months of a deal's expiration. These follow up offers serve as a smart way to convert deal seekers into loyal customers.

Lakeland's Brown chooses Florida
GAINESVILLE - The pipeline from Lakeland High School to Gainesville just keeps producing.
On Thursday, Lakeland defensive tackle John Brown orally committed to the Gators, the seventh player from Lakeland High to commit to Urban Meyer. He chose Florida over Alabama.
The 6-foot-1, 295-pounder is the rated No. 15 in the state of Florida, and the No. 10 rated defensive tackle in the nation by GatorBait.net.
He will join Lakeland teammates Paul Wilson, Ahmad Black, Steve Wilks, Chris Rainey, Maurkice Pouncey and Micheal Pouncey who are currently committed or enrolled at Florida.
Meanwhile, five-star receiver Terrance Toliver of Hemptstead, Texas, is still deciding between Florida and LSU.
With less than a week before national signing day (Feb. 7), Florida has what many experts believe is the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.

"In the recent episode of the yuan depreciation, the evidence is clear that it is also not entirely market-driven," Yao said. "This surprising tact may have tamed arbitrage flows for now... [but] if the market sees the policymakers' logic, central-bank-engineered volatility may just provide better entry points for speculation."
The impact of the yuan's depreciation was also felt by investors who use offshore yuan, mainly kept in Hong Kong banks, to bet on Chinese bonds and other yuan-denominated products on the mainland. They invest through a select group of asset managers licensed to participate in the Chinese government's Renminbi Qualified Institutional Investor (RQFII) program. ("Renminbi" is another name for yuan.)
A March 19 report in the Securities Times said investors were pulling their money out of RQFII funds managed by Hong Kong-based China Southern Asset Management (CSOP). The yuan's depreciation had prompted these exits from CSOP, the largest RQFII manager with $3.8 billion in assets under management.
On the other hand, some RQFII managers are reading the yuan's depreciation as a positive development. Rosita Lee, head of the Investment Products and Advisory Business at Hong Kong's Hang Seng Bank, said investors in her bank's yuan-denominated products are more aware than ever of currency risks. But they're looking at the long-term upside for the mainland bonds, stocks and other targets of RQFII funds.
"We do not see material change in the fund flow of these products" since the yuan's depreciation began, Lee said. "The increased (yuan) volatility will inevitably increase the risk faced by these investors, but RQFII products will continue to have their appeal.
"The widened trading band ... is perceived as a healthy move for the (yuan's) long-term development," she said.

HE FLOODING of Hamilton Field's runway marks the culmination of a major victory for local environmentalists and a pivotal chapter in Marin's history.
Last week, bay waters rushed onto the old Army Air Force runway, reclaiming the acreage as wetlands that are so valuable to the San Francisco Bay environment — and reversing a slice of the baylands that had been lost and filled for development.
In 1979, Marin voters were given a choice: either turn the decommissioned runway into a county airport or transform it into a "solar village," a then-futuristic proposal to turn the 1,271-acre base in Novato into a solar-powered community for 800 homes, light industrial and office uses and a 100-acre farm.
Both measures were defeated. Eventually, the county decided to drop plans to turn the runway into a new county airport and decided, instead, to focus on improving its existing Gnoss Field airport nearby.
The so-called "mudding and flooding" of Hamilton's 645-acre runway, once the touchdown for the Air Force's fleet — from screaming jet fighters to bombers and supply planes — was the community's hard-fought resolve to restore the wetlands that the acres of asphalt had supplanted.
Once completed, it will be one of the West Coast's largest wetlands restoration projects. The job was led by the state Coastal Conservancy and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The runway is covered with millions of cubic yards of dredge sludge barged across the bay from the Port of Oakland estuary. The mud was enough to cover 3 feet deep across an area equivalent to 700 football fields.
Last week's breaching of the dike that protected the runway allowed water to cover it.
The conversion has taken more than a decade and $200 million. Soon, instead of noise and dust from trucks, residents will be enjoying a model wetlands, an expanded home for California clapper rail or salt marsh harvest mice, two species that have faced extinction because of the loss of the bay's wetlands.
The project also includes a link of the Bay Trail.
Last week's breaching of the levee was a long-awaited chapter in Hamilton's history. A long political battle over the future of the decommissioned base and runway led up to this milestone and the culmination of a local vision to return a swath of the bay back to nature.
It's in good hands.

It's a match made in heaven — or at least by Ryan Murphy. Emma Roberts is engaged to her American Horror Story costar Evan Peters, People confirms. Peters reportedly popped the question over the holidays. The two have been dating since 2012.
Their betrothal comes nearly six months after Roberts, 22, was arrested in Montreal following a physical altercation with Peters, 26. (In a joint statement, reps for both actors called the July incident "unfortunate" and a "misunderstanding.")

Melita has now been replaced by AKTive Media , please click here to download AKTive Media, Melita is no longer used or available for download
Melita is an annotation interface that uses Adaptive Information Extraction from texts (IE) for reducing the burden of text annotation. In Melita, adaptation starts with the definition of a scenario, including a tag set for annotation (possibly organized as an ontology) and a corpus of texts to be annotated. Annotations are inserted by first selecting a tag from the ontology and then identifying the text area to annotate with the mouse. Melita actively supports corpus annotation using Amilcare, an adaptive Information Extraction tool based on the (LP)2 algorithm [Ciravegna2001].
While users annotate texts, Amilcare runs in the background learning how to reproduce the inserted annotation. Induced rules are silently applied to new texts and their results are compared with the user annotation. When its rules reach a (user-defined) level of accuracy, Melita presents new texts with a preliminary annotation derived by the rule application. In this case users have just to correct mistakes and add missing annotations. User corrections are inputted back to the learner for retraining. This technique focuses the slow and expensive user activity on uncovered cases, avoiding requiring annotating cases where a satisfying effectiveness is already reached. Moreover validating extracted information is a much simpler task than tagging bare texts (and also less error prone), speeding up the process considerably. If the IE based annotation becomes very reliable, the user can decide to let Melita produce further annotation automatically.

The all-new Ford Focus ST will be making its debut next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Enthusiasts worldwide are looking forward to the new hot hatch – especially those of us located in the U.S., where we'll be getting the hot ST trim for the very first time.
Behind the wheel of a pre-production prototype version of the Focus ST is Jost Capito, Ford's director for global performance vehicles. We're given a pretty clear look at what the final ST will look like – and it's almost identical to the concept show at last year's Paris Motor Show – while Capito is ringing it out on Ford's European test track. That track has a number of different surfaces that replicate what it is like to drive the Focus ST on roads in places such as California, England, and Europe.
Capito also reminds viewers that the new Focus ST will get the same suspension setup, the same wheels, and the same tires all over the world. It will also use the same 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four EcoBoost engine rated at 247 hp and expected to return at least 250 lb-ft of torque. As this is slated to be an enthusiasts' car, the six-speed transmission will be a good old-fashioned, row-it-yourself manual.
The Ford Focus ST will make its debut next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and is expected to go on sale next spring. Make sure to stay with Automobile Magazine for all our Frankfurt coverage.

Because you can never have too many giant figures
Phat! Company has got themselves another new line of figures in the Dekacchu series (bigger versions of their Minicchu figures), featuring Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls' Kirari Moroboshi in a rather large-scale look. Thankfully, Mikatan has arrived to give us a preview of Kirari ... by taking her on a tour around the office?
Four times the size of the Minicchu figures at 22 cm tall, Dekacchu Kirari is one of Good Smile's Wonder Festival 2013 Winter exclusives, and she'a really just a larger version of the same figure, which I guess is why Mikatan did the office tour. There's not a whole lot else to talk about.
There's also news that the Character Charm Collection: Puchimasu! are up for pre-order again and a tease to tomorrow's preview: figma Rin Shibuya and Anzu Futaba.
