PROBLEM: Rep. Patrick Meehan  Reeling From 'Soul Mate' Scandal  Won't Run Again
 Pennsylvania Republican Patrick Meehan  who up until this week had been one of the House Ethics Committee members investigating sexual harassment charges   was revealed Jan. 20 to have paid a taxpayer-funded settlement to an accuser last year.
The New York Times reported  Meehan  had settled with a younger staff member after telling  her   he  was attracted to  her . House Speaker Paul Ryan removed  Meehan  from the Ethics Committee post after the story was published.
 Meehan  has decided to leave the House  sources in Congress and the Pennsylvania Republican Party confirmed Thursday night  saying  he  won't defend  his  seat in November's election.
The Philadelphia Inquirer obtained a letter that it reports  Meehan  sent to  his  campaign chairman:
"Unfortunately  recent events concerning my office and the settlement of certain harassment allegations have become a major distraction "  he  wrote. "I need to own it because it is my own conduct that fueled the matter."

 Meehan  hasn't denied the facts of the settlement  and even told reporters  he  viewed the woman as a soul mate — but insisted the conversation and a letter  he  wrote her wasn't harassment.  He  told member station WHYY: "[I clarified] that I was a happily-married man. I was not looking for any kind of a relationship."
 His  decision not to run again opens up a Democratic-leaning House seat in suburban Philadelphia that already had been high on Democrats' lists of 2018 targets.

PROBLEM: There are more airlines for Boeing to serve in those emerging markets  which has helped the company diversify its backlog of plane orders. Investors like to see a strong queue of plane orders set to be filled  said  Chris Higgins  a senior equity analyst at Morningstar .
The backlog size â bolstered by increases in air traffic demand â helped keep the aerospace industry afloat during the downturn in the last economic cycle   Higgins  said. Some investors are starting to question whether the market is still hinged to global economy cycles.
âItâs giving people a lot of comfort â  Higgins  said.
Analysts expect the demand for Caterpillarâs and Boeingâs products to continue at least into 2018  though  Higgins  from Morningstar said  it âs going to be hard for Boeingâs stock to repeat what happened in 2017.  Higgins  also pointed to some potential events at Boeing  such as the rumored acquisition of Brazilian jet-maker Embraer  that might not make investors too happy  but itâs still unclear whether those will pan out   he  said.

SOLUTION: Higgins

PROBLEM: Rob Gronkowski  is giving retirement some serious thought  apparently. (Bill Wippert/Associated Press)
 New England Patriots  tight  end Rob Gronkowski  raised some eyebrows after  his team âs Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 4 by saying âIâm definitely going to look at my future  for sure â an apparent indication that  he  was mulling retirement after eight NFL seasons. But considering an injury history that stretches back to  his  time at Arizona  Gronkowskiâs comments probably shouldnât be all that surprising.
â  He  missed  his  entire junior season in college after having surgery to repair a bulging disk in  his  back.
â In January 2012   he  sprained  his  ankle in the AFC championship game against the Ravens  and had only two catches in New Englandâs second Super Bowl loss to the Giants.
â The next season â  his  third in the NFL â  he  broke  his  forearm while blocking on an extra point and missed five games.  He  then broke the same forearm in a postseason win over the Texans and missed New Englandâs next game  a loss to the Ravens.
â  He  played in only seven games in 2013  missing the first six after offseason surgery to repair a fractured vertebra and then the final three after tearing the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in  his  right knee and suffering a concussion on one play in a Dec. 8 game against the Browns.
â In 2015   he  missed one game after taking a hit to the knee against the Broncos.
â This past season   he  suffered a concussion in the AFC championship game and likely was not 100 percent for the Super Bowl.
