everything in moderation

After years of revisions
and makeovers, it's official.

The food pyramid is ancient history.

So this circular plate
will be the new standard
in serving up square meals,
a dinner plate divided into four wedges,
for each of the basic food groups:
fruits,vegetables,grains and protein.

Simple enough for children to understand,
even at the elementary school level.

Sometimes, I just eat like,
a lot of just one thing
instead of having
a variety of everything.

Chef Bill Telepan says
you can eat healthy at home.

And with this new visual aid,
you can do it tonight.

Everything in moderation, they say.

So if you could eat like this
a lot more than you do the other way,
then you're having a good start.

down payment

Home prices tumbled another 5%
tonight,their lowest level since 2002.

It's quit possible that home prices
will be 10,20% lower in 10 years.

The rental market is hot.

More than 500 US cities
have seen a boom.

So how do you know when to rent
or when to buy?

Part of the calculation is simple.

Do you plan to stay put
for at least five years?

If not,rent.

Do you have the $30,000
on average in cash,
now required for
20% down payment?

And beyond the monthly payments,
do you have an additional $5,000
per year for upkeep?

If not,rent.

service for our country

Not a bad retirement for 8-year-old bagger,
a former military dog.

Completely trained.I mean, he will sit,
hie will stay, he will lay down.

His life, now with
the Touchstone family in California,
is much easier.

Oh, what a good boy.

And much less dangerous.

The details of Bagger' military career
are still secret.

But the Touchstones know
he was trained to sniff for explosives.

And old habits die hard.

I don't know if he'll ever get
the training out of him,
I mean, he searches
the kids'backpacks and our luggage
when we travel out of town.

He even checked out
out camera crew's epuipment.

And he still flinches
when he hears gunshots on TV.

They did such a service
for our country.

And so, that,I think
it's the least we can do.

The Touchstone family
considers Bagger a hero.
