During the past several years, the body mass index (BMI), which is a ratio of an individual’s height and weight, has become a measurement of whether a person is considered healthy. Many companies in the United States use their employees’ BMIs as a factor in determining workers’ healthcare costs.
A person’s body mass index (BMI), once considered an indicator of high body fatness and overall health, isn’t such a good indicator of those things after all, according to a recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

If he doesn’t get it does he endorse? You know, Ronald Reagan in 1976 lost that grueling nominating contest to Gerald Ford but he stood up there at the podium, put his arm around Gerald Ford and endorsed him.

Um yeah, no. What Schlapp didn’t say is that Reagan wasn’t the frontrunner going into the 1976 convention. Far different scenario.

He’s technically charged with ‘unwanted touching’ which is a questionable charge given that security has the right to ‘touch’ you if you aren’t obeying them, whether you want them to or not. No, technically, he isn’t security, but he is a staff member who has the ability to shield the candidate.
