I often give to the homeless, the folks who stand along side the highway at traffic lights holding up a sign looking for work or whatever.
I don't keep track of each time I have over a $10.00 or $20.00 bill to these folks, I'm sure the amount is somewhere around $750.00 - $1,000 a year.
This does not include clothes and shoes I give to a local retirement home, but none the less I stop in there on a couple of years to get rid of closes in my closet I hardly ever were.
What is the legal amount I can donate without documentation?

A busy intersection in Fort Myers has some residents in the Whiskey Creek neighborhood calling for change.
There's no crosswalk at the entrance to the community, where Whiskey Creek Drive meets McGregor Boulevard.
In order for walkers, joggers and bikers to reach the sidewalk, which is on the opposite side of McGregor, they must cross the busy roadway.
Some people in the 1,500-home neighborhood are calling it a dangerous situation that needs to be fixed.
"There would be much more usage of the intersection if it weren't quite so hazardous," said Bernie Lamach, President of the Whiskey Creek Civic Association.
The community is already planning to spend $20,000 in its Municipal Services Taxing Unit money for two new street lights at the intersection.
Lamach is pushing for the installation of a crosswalk and pedestrian signs at the intersection.
Lamach says Whiskey Creek is willing to pay for it.
"I think cautionary signs are fairly cheap and would probably avoid a tragedy down the road," Lamach said.
He approached the Florida Department of Transportation, which counted only 12 people crossing McGregor at the intersection over an 11 hour time span in July.
An FDOT spokeswoman also pointed out a crosswalk about a quarter of a mile away, at the entrance to the adjoining Tanglewood Community.
Cindy Hamilton, who lives in the neighborhood, says it's a change she would welcome.
"It's hard to cross with your car let alone if you were on foot and with two unruly labs," Hamilton said, "it would be great to have a crosswalk."
FDOT will do another count during season to determine if a crosswalk and signs are needed.

An MLB spokesperson just announced that Hiroki Kuroda will be in the interview room at 4:30 as the Yankees Game 2 starter in the ALCS. So there you have it.
That means Kuroda be pitching on three days' rest, which is interesting since the team had actually been stretching him out and because he's never started on short rest in his big league career.
That obviously creates the question of whether CC Sabathia will start Game 3 on short rest, or will Joe Girardi start Phil Hughes or even throw David Phelps out there?
In any case, it's interesting that Kuroda is tabbed for Game 2 and on short rest. At age 37 and having pitched in Japan when the players are stretched out even more, it doesn't seem to be a perfect solution on paper.
Of note is that Kuroda has been far better at home this year as opposed to the road: He went 11-6 with a 2.72 ERA, throwing two shutouts at Yankee Stadium. While on the road, he went 5-5 with a 4.73, giving up almost as many hits despite throwing 45 fewer innings.
With Monday being an offday, that would give Girardi the ability to have his relievers rested if he has to tap them early and often on Sunday if the Kuroda experiment doesn't work.

Playwright William Congreve wrote the familiar lines "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak." I thought of those lines recently while attending a performance of the N.C. Symphony.
It was not that my breast was in a savage mood, although I admit that symphonic music has a soothing effect not found in rock 'n' roll or country and western.
As a farm lad growing up in the foothills, mine was primarily a musical diet of the latter.
I was attuned to the music of Roy Acuff, the Monroe Boys, Loretta Lynn. Their music dealt primarily with broken love affairs, cheating hearts and other somebody-done-somebody-wrong songs. Bach and Beethoven seldom made it into rural Appalachia.
After World War II, at Mars Hill College, I was befriended by Miss Martha Biggers, head of the music department, who sought to instill in me an appreciation of the great composers.
She signed me up for music appreciation classes and insisted I study the stories of the operas.
I even found myself taking piano lessons. But because my young teacher and I spent much of my class time drinking sodas and listening to the jukebox at the student hangout across the street, I never became a concert pianist.
Nevertheless, my brush with classical music cast me as a music critic during my first job at the Burlington Times-News.
In addition to regular duties as City Hall reporter and columnist, I was assigned to cover the Civic Music series at nearby Elon College. I wisely confined my remarks to the size of the audience, its favorite selections and the like.
One doesn't have to be a music major to enjoy good music any more than one has to know that the bird on your feeder is a male rufous-sided red-eyed towhee to appreciate its beauty.
Nevertheless, reading Roy C. Dicks' rave review two days after the concert enriched the experience for me.
Roy noted the music's "intimacy and grandeur, elegance and abandon," "Conductor Grant Lewellyn's springy pace that kept things bubbling" and "the appropriate serenity of the quiet meanderings."
In every audience, there are those who'd rather be somewhere else.
Years ago, while attending a concert at Reynolds Coliseum, the stranger seated beside me snored softly though the first half of the performance.
"I guess you've figured out by now that my being here is my wife's idea," he said during intermission. "It's the price I'm paying to go deep-sea fishing with my buddies next weekend."
As I sat through Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 in E Major, I felt the power and the beauty of the full orchestra's massed talent sweeping over me. I remembered Willa Cather's great short story, "A Wagner Matinee."
In it, the narrator, Clark, describes how his Aunt Georgiana, a Boston musician and piano teacher, married a young farmer and moved to the dreary outback of a Nebraska farm. For 33 years, she was cut off almost entirely from music.
Late in life, she took a train east. Her husband had written Clark, asking him to look after her during her brief visit. One day, he took her to the opera. After the cascade of soaring sound from Siegfried's funeral march had faded, Aunt Georgiana sat in her seat, weeping. Even after the hall emptied and the musicians had left the stage, she still sat there.
"I don't want to go, Clark, I don't want to go," she sobbed.
The nephew understood. "For her, just outside the door of the concert hall lay the black pond with the cattle-tracked bluffs; the tall, unpainted house with weather-curled boards, naked as a tower; the crook-backed ash seedlings where the dish-cloths hung to dry; the gaunt, molting turkeys picking up refuse about the kitchen door."
Whatever its form, great music steals us away from the wastelands of life. It cracks the door to the soul, letting in the light that enables us to return to the ordinary, convinced that it's not really ordinary.

We were quite surprised when we read an article, entitled "Some anti-drilling activists change tactics, tone," which appeared in the October 7, 2013 edition of the Daily Star. It was an Associated Press article which evidently originated in Pittsburgh.
According to the article "A few weeks ago, Victoria Switzer and other activists from Dimock endorsed a candidate for governor [of Pennsylvania] who supports natural gas production from gigantic reserves like the Marcellus Shale, albeit with more regulation and new taxes."
The article continues with the thought that. "we had to work with the industry. There is no magic wand to make this go away," said Switzer, who recently formed a group that seeks to work with drillers on improved air quality standards. "Tunnel vision isn't good. Realism is good."
The article also noted that "...Pennsylvania residents concerned about drilling no longer have the luxury of simply calling for a ban, Switzer said. Not with the Pennsylvania and West Virginia portions of the Marcellus already yielding more than $10 billion worth of gas annually, making it the nation's most prolific gas field."
We must say we were stunned to learn that someone who had appeared in the movie Gasland Part II would have reassessed the issue of natural gas development and come to this conclusion that is seemingly 180 degrees from where she started. We were equally stunned to learn from this same article that the Governor of Vermont, Peter Shumlin, has also revised his stand on natural gas. It was Governor Shumlin who signed the first statewide ban on hydraulic fracturing in the country. However, now he appears to be at least in favor of using natural gas.
According to the article, "last month, Shumlin spoke out in favor of a $90 million expansion of the state's natural gas pipeline system — which will transport fracked gas — saying the project was critical to industry, the environment and people who are struggling to pay energy bills."

Hurricane Cristobal is forecast to impact the Atlantic beaches of the United States with hazardous conditions through at least midweek.
A tropical threat from the Atlantic on the United States and Caribbean islands may increase into next week.
There have been six times the number of named tropical systems in the Eastern Pacific Basin compared to the Atlantic Basin. While the Atlantic will catch up somewhat, the lopsided ratio will continue.
Not since 1999 has the formation of the third named tropical storm in the Atlantic Basin occurred past Aug. 18. A train of tropical waves will attempt to fuel such development through the upcoming week.
It has been 10 years since Hurricane Charley ravaged the Florida Gulf coastline in 2004, wreaking havoc on the cities of Ft. Myers, Punta Gorda and Orlando.
There are signs that the window for tropical development in the Atlantic will try to open next week.
Tropical Rainstorm Halong will bring additional rain and locally strong winds to southeast Russia through Tuesday.

High Specific Strength Materials for Ballistic Applications
Oklahoma State University, 2010 - $19,860
According to the United States Department of Defense, approximately 35,000 military personnel were injured in the field from 2001-2009, with 20% of these due to gunshot-related injuries. A majority of the gunshot injuries were caused by Behind Armor Blunt Trauma (BABT)—non-penetrating injuries resulting from high kinetic energy transfer. Despite great advancements in body armor technology, there is still demand from the defense sector for lighter and stronger armor materials.
This team is developing a Hybrid Composite Armor stand-alone insert that is capable of significantly reducing BABT. It is a combination of current top-of-the-line armor grade materials and an advanced alloy honeycomb collapsible layer. Preliminary tests indicate the technology could reduce BABT by 25%. This grant will help the team prepare the technology for commercialization. The team is already incorporated as MetCel LLC.

The demolition on Matheson Hall has officially begun.
Dean George Tsetsekos led a sledgehammer ceremony on Wednesday, October 5 with members of his advisory board, number of Drexel students, faculty and professional staff and representatives from the Keating Building Company, the firm demolishing Matheson Hall and building the new 12-story, 177,500 square-foot business center that will house the college at 33rd and Market Streets.
"Today marks the beginning of the end of a wonderful building," Tsetsekos said.
The first order of business at the ceremony was the opening of a time capsule found by construction workers last week. There were several printed materials from that year found inside including a copy of the Triangle dated April 23, 1965, memorabilia from "BusAd Day," the one-day affair now known as Honors Day for business students, a 1964 "Drexel Profile" card listing undergraduate enrollment at 10,235 and tuition at $1,200, a text book for a course on federal taxes, an "About Drexel" pamphlet, a blue exam booklet and cigarette butts inscribed with the names Ed Martin, Macaulay, Helpin, Barre, Lucke, McNamara. Dean's Advisory Board Chairman Randy Burkert joked the butts would be "tested for DNA evidence."
Dean Tsetsekos said a new time capsule would be placed inside the building upon its completion in 2013.
Keating President Brad Statler encouraged the Drexel community to follow along with these important milestones in the building process:
Those traveling around campus will be able to once again pass through the construction area within the next week, once a covered walkway is installed.

Thursday afternoon in Atlanta, the Braves scored their second straight 1-0 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies. This was notable for a couple of reasons. One, the Braves are still fighting for one of the National League's Wild Card playoff slots. And two, it was the first time in the Rockies' history that they'd lost two 1-0 games in a row.
Wednesday, the Braves' lone run came via an error, when rookie shortstop Josh Rutledge's fourth-inning throw went awry, allowing Chipper Jones to sprint home. Between starter Mike Minor and closer Craig Kimbrel, that was all the Braves would need.
Thursday, their only run was again unearned, but this time far more bizarrely.
Juan Francisco led off the bottom of the second, and beat the infield shift with a perfect bunt down the third-base line. Next up was Dan Uggla, who's been struggling for quite a while. But this time, Uggla drove a liner into the right-field corner, where it bounded over the fence for an automatic double, pushing Francisco to third base.
With Brian McCann at the plate, Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin got ahead in the count 0-and-2, then pitched a ball. Frustrated, Chacin sort of swiped at the return throw from his catcher ... and the ball snuck right past him, and toward second base while Francisco scooted home. Chacin ultimately escaped the inning with no more damage, but the damage was done. Thanks to Tim Hudson and Craig Kimbrel, the Rockies never did get on the board.
(via MLB.com, here is video of Chacin's fateful error)
Which was a good thing for these hitting-starved Braves, who have scored only two runs in their last three games, and have just one hit in their last 26 at-bats with runners in scoring position ... and that one hit was a single that didn't drive home a runner.
But despite scoring only two runs in the last three games of their four-game series against the Rockies, the Braves took three of the four games in the series, and enter the weekend with a five-game lead in the Wild Card standings. A repeat of last year's September collapse is still possible, of course. But it sure does seem unlikely.

'Irresponsible driving' leads to rise in deaths (From The Oxford Times)

'Irresponsible driving' leads to rise in deaths
7:00pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News
THE number of people killed on Oxfordshire's roads has risen, prompting calls for tougher measures to tackle bad drivers.
End-of-year figures have revealed 28 people died in road traffic collisions in Oxfordshire in 2012, an increase of two on 2011's figure of 26.
However, the message appears to be getting through to young people. Of those killed, six were aged 25 or under, compared to 11 in the previous year.
Meanwhile, the number of people badly hurt on the county's roads has dropped.
Statistics from Oxfordshire County Council showed there were 190 people seriously injured, compared to 270 in 2011.
Thames Valley Police has promised to "work with a vengence" to reduce the numbers of deaths.
Bicester resident Jeff Webb's 19-year-old son Neil died when he was a passenger in a friend's car when it crashed head-on with a BMW in Ardley in 2010.
He said individuals must take more responsibility when driving, and that insurance companies should punish bad drivers more.
Mr Webb said: "I think putting trackers in cars would cut accidents. Make people take responsibility and think of the other cars on the road more, particularly the younger drivers. Hit them in the pocket.
"The trackers would feed back to insurance companies how the drivers were on the roads, and where bad drivers could have their premiums revoked, good drivers would be rewarded."
Sam McNally, 20 of Witney, lost his close friend Callum MacKinnon in a crash in September, 2010.
Mr Mackinnon, 18, was killed when the driver of the car he was in rounded a bend on a country road too quickly.
Stephen Hocknell, then 21, was banned from driving but avoided jail after being found guilty of causing death by careless driving at Oxford Crown Court.
Mr McNally said: "People often blame young drivers, but a lot of the time it is the elderly who cause the most problems.
"I think people should be made to retake their tests every 10 years. It's not the roads that are at fault, it's drivers, and they should be targeted."
Chief Insp Henry Parsons, of the Joint Roads Policing Unit, said: "These numbers are too high. Each number has real people on the end of it and the impact of this can't be underestimated.
"The reasons the figures are not zero are because there are still people who don't respect each other's journeys and use the roads irresponsibly. Some people still use their phones whilst driving, fail to wear their seatbelts, don't maintain their vehicles safely and drive too fast.
"They kill people across the country on a daily basis."
County council deputy leader Rodney Rose said his priority was ensuring the roads were kept in as best shape as possible.
He said: "Skimping on things like white line painting and repairs causes huge problems in their own right and they can also contribute to deaths."

So why then do the councils 'skimp' on these things then ?

Also the County Councils numerous speed limits that are imposed for no apparrent reason for miles on end would appear not to be working.

It was "fixed" but only a week later was back to its old state. It really isn't good enough. How do other council manage, whilst ours are so inept?

Adrian1 wrote:What a load of rubbish, and the policeman should have been questioned, instead of The OM just printing his press release. Simple questions such as, if bad driving is the cause why have you stopped traffic patrols to catch bad drivers in favour of having 3 police cars and 9 police officers sat in St Giles to raise money from an artificially low speed limit with no serious accidents reported, or have the same complement of officers by Seacourt P & R raising money catching the serious criminals who pop into the P & R and straight out again, I can't remember anybody being killed by this "very dangerous" manoeuvre, or maybe having a police money raising radar van right underneath the speed camera at the end of Marston Ferry Road?? The police are just paying lip service on this, and rely on Cameras and traps to prosecute otherwise safe drivers, whilst the idiots get away with murder because they know that there are no patrols out to catch them.
Hmmm,... punishing bad driving with higher insurance premiums, probably works, until they stop insuring themselves! It never ceases to amaze me that person X - uninsured, was banned for six months with six points on a non existent liscense and so on. The reality is that tomorrow they'll be on the road again. And after the next one, ad infinitum. Whilst on the 'bad' side of the subject what's being done about the poor insurance practices jumping everyones premiums up these days?

That's right, our roads are SAFER than ever before in history!
Pay no attention to the busybodies and nervous spinsters of both sexes who want to make you think otherwise - they just want to justify more and more interference in your lives!

A parking garage in Blacksburg that stands six stories tall will likely relieve some parking problems in the town. It opened today and is a positive for the community and business owners.
"I don't know how much it will help, but I know it won't hurt, and I'm glad to see it open," said Scott Elich, Owner of Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea in Blacksburg.
"I think it's very important in how it fits into the whole fabric and structure of downtown," said Ron Rordam, Mayor of the Town of Blacksburg.
Rordam says the town, Virginia Tech, and the Virginia Tech Foundation worked together to build the garage and the North End Center, which will soon house several university offices and retail space. It is a little more than a block from the Center for the Arts, which is scheduled to open this fall. The parking deck will have space for 800 cars.
"We're going to have a lot of patrons coming, and attending our events and we need obviously a place to put them, and this parking deck will be a big help for that. It will be very close, it will be convenient," said Mark Owczarski, a spokesman for Virginia Tech.
It is the third parking deck to go up in the town, when you include the town and campus, and a fourth is under construction on campus. But it is only part of the solution.
The town owns the lot behind Chipotle Restaurant. The mayor says that lot could be used in the future to address larger parking needs, but it is still several years away
"You can't solve a parking problem with just one structure. You have to look forward, you have to strategically plan, and with the town we are doing that now," says Rordam.
"As campus is further developed and surface lots are being taken away, we need to stay a step ahead," says Owczarski.
The university is still working out the details about which spaces will be set aside for faculty and staff with university passes, and where the public will be allowed to park.

I had put off purchasing these for over a year. I had been putting up with my high end stainless steel for years where everything sticks and inevitably burns. I absolutely love these - they have a nice weight to them, conduct the heat nice and evenly and NOTHING sticks! So easy to clean! I purchased the red which looks beautiful. The key to anything in the kitchen that you covet is to look after it. I line them for storage and only use nylon or bamboo with them. Wish I hadn't waited to long. Marc McEwen endorsing the product was the selling point for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

not wearing well
By SARA
from THORNHILL
I bought this set many months ago when it was a showstopper. Initially I thought they were great - easy clean up, very little sticking. We have been very careful not to use any metal utensils, yet the insides are starting to show signs of wear, like small scratches. The outside paint (we have a red set) scratches off extremely easily. I love cooking with this set, but clearly these pots and pans will not last long.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

really disappointed
By j-mi
from vancouver
Completely unhappy. Perhaps I got a lemon set, the pots have parts of the coating thats come off, apparently u should just us nylon spatulas, my wooden ones damaged my pot, theres coating around the edges of the pots that are flaking. Dont even get me started on my pans, my food is sticking oil or not, and its not producing even heating throughout the pan. I am glad I held onto my lagostina pans as they have come back out. I would have loved to ship these back but I did not start using them right away as I wanted to save them for after my kitchen renos, but when that project was placed on hold I broke them on out and was so disappointed.
Fantastic Set
By BETH
from HAMILTON
I purchased 2 sets-one in black for my daughter and one in red for me-I have used both sets and they performed GREAT! I have now put my set away and am using my daughter's set-insentive for her to take care of the set for when she moves out in a few years-I can tell my set will be fine! Easy to clean up-nothing sticks-I always use silcone or bamboo utensils-I also would love to see only pots sets in this-I have fry pans from earlier-still Great! Don't hesitate-this line is all Mark says-just treat it with the respect it deserves and it will be your best friend for a very long time in the kitchen!

works great
By silverwolf
from Ottawa
Bought this set to send to my husband to use while we are in the middle of moving - cleans up easily if you leave the pans to cool - do not put the hot pan in water. Only gave a four star due to the fact it is better to hand wash rather than put in the dishwasher - if fully dishwasher safe they would have gotten a FIVE.

Pay attention
By not applicable

Nothing wrong with the product itself, but customer care reps must be trained to be better efficient, know clearly what your internal circumstances are before recommending a course of action to the customer, resulting in a consequence that is clearly contrary to what the customer voiced is not preferred!!!! Most irritating.
Cooking with GreenPan only
By Di
from Guelph, Ontario
I have used my GreenPans and put them through a lot over the last few weeks. Awesome set! I cooked up my most sticky, messy glazes, sauces and dinners and the pots do what they claim to do. The pots wipe up with a paper towel and the pots look new. Even after leaving them out overnight dirty, they cleaned up without any effort. I have already recommended them to family members.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my GreenPan

Since the first time I used my GreenPan I was sold on its varied uses. Never a disappointment. Now to get the Crème De Resistance - SHOW STOPPER IN RED & CREAM !!!Cooking of food and its easy cleanup makes me look like a PRO Thanks Mark

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Tuition for law school students at the University of Arizona is going down.
The school is reducing tuition by about 11% for in-state students and by 8% for nonresidents. The change comes as the school faces a 13.5% drop in first-year students and a decrease of more than one-third in the number of applicants since 2005.
Officials say lowering tuition is part of a plan to help students manage law school costs.
About 80% of law students receive financial aid from the college. That's a higher percentage than most other law schools.
UA law school spokeswoman Nancy Stanley says the high price of law degrees is one factor driving enrollment declines at many schools nationwide.
Arizona State University says it's freezing tuition for its law students this year.

A flatbed semi-truck crashed and jumped over the guardrail on the Selmon Crosstown Expressway's elevated lanes, causing delays for thousands of drivers heading into Tampa.
Troopers say the truck's driver lost control and hit a guardrail at the downtown exit. The truck actually jumped the rail traveled 600 feet along the top of the concrete barrier wall before coming to rest, knocking over three light poles in the process.
The view from SkyFOX showed the truck's cab sitting on the edge of the barrier, its passenger-side wheels actually hanging over the edge of the elevated lanes near the Hillsborough Water Department building downtown.
During the crash, some of the truck's ready-mix concrete bags spilled into the roadway, making an even bigger mess of things.
The Crosstown's westbound lanes at Kennedy Boulevard were shut down for a few hours. Both lanes were not open again until after 5 p.m.
The truck's driver, identified by FHP as Mark Owen Pickard, 45, was treated at the scene for minor injuries. He'll be charged with careless driving, troopers say.

Town Square
Tree branch falls on cars on I-680 in Alamo

It took thirty minutes to get to the Sycamore exit heading northbound from the 580 interchange. I got home at ten fifteen and expected to be in Danville by nine forty-five this morning.
on Aug 25, 2010 at 2:56 pm
The lanes may have been cleared but were most definitely NOT moving by 9:32 a.m. Traffic was still stop and creep when I got to the Sycamore exit at ten-fifteen.
on Aug 26, 2010 at 9:06 am
WOW...That was fast work guy's. Tree branch fell at 7:19am and by 9:08am the crews were out there removing the tree branch...I guess we're lucky the entire tree didn't fall over...or they would still be out there removing it.
It's hard to believe the removal of the tree branch didn't get started for approximately 1 1/2 hours...I think the road runner could have gotten there sooner.
Caltrans in action or not in action.
Thanks for listening, Julia from Alamo

Remember those pesky mortgage-backed securities the Federal Reserve had to take off AIG's hands at the worst of the financial crisis?
As he helped orchestrate the Wall Street bailouts, William Dudley -- now president of the New York Fed -- owned more than $100,000 stock in AIG and General Electric, two firms that received government assistance.
Are you ready for some earnings? The good news is that profits, at first blush, will be solid. But when you look beneath the surface, results won't be nearly as robust.
The former head of the American International Group sued the U.S. government for $25 billion on Monday, claiming officials should have bailed out AIG instead of taking it over.
American International Group is back in the red. Way in the red.
Bailed out insurer American International Group dropped another $2.15 billion into the coffers of the Treasury Department on Thursday.
Bank of America shares plunged 20% Monday, fueled in part by a steep selloff in the broader market and news that insurer American International Group is suing it for billions of dollars over alleged mortgage securities fraud.
Bailed out insurer American International Group posted a second-quarter profit Thursday, even as its shares plunged to their lowest level since early last year.
Investment experts always counsel against putting money into mutual funds on a run of smoking-hot performance. A long-term record is the real test. But what to make of enduring stars whose results have fallen to earth? Is it a sign they've lost their golden touch -- or just a lull before another blistering streak?
It's been a pretty good week for the Treasury Department's bailout program.
Shares of American International Group's long-awaited stock sale priced at $29 apiece late Tuesday to raise $8.7 billion, leaving the U.S. government with a tiny profit on the offering, the company and Treasury Department announced.
Goldman Sachs received nearly $3 billion from AIG for "proprietary" transactions after the insurance company had been bailed out by the government, according to a federal inquiry.
American International Group, which received a massive bailout in 2008, said Wednesday that it expects to complete a recapitalization by the end of the week that will allow it to fully pay back the government.
U.S. stocks ended Monday mixed as investors digested a surprise interest rate hike by the Bank of China and a blizzard put a damper on post-holiday retail sales.
Stocks drifted higher Wednesday as a rebound in bank shares offset weakness in commodities and concerns about rising interest rates in the Treasury market.
Two years after the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program was launched, the Congressional Budget Office now estimates the government's economic rescue package will cost taxpayers $25 billion.
The Treasury Department changed its accounting style and produced an overly optimistic estimate of taxpayer losses in the AIG bailout, the special investigator for the federal bailouts said in a report released Monday.
AIG said Friday that it lost $2.4 billion in the third quarter on sales of insurance units, proceeds of which it plans to use to pay back the U.S. government.
The Treasury Department's multi-billion dollar bailout of American International Group moved into the black after the insurer completed two transactions that raised nearly $37 billion, the department said Monday.
AIG said Thursday it has reached agreement on a plan that it will end its multi-billion dollar bailout from the federal government and provide for the full repayment to U.S. taxpayers.
The U.S. government and AIG are finalizing a plan for how the Treasury Department would exit its majority stake in the insurance giant, according to several published reports.
The $700 billion bank bailout program helped rescue overseas economies, but international bailout programs did little to help the United States in return, according to a report from a congressionally appointed watchdog group released Thursday.
Insurer AIG reported a quarterly net loss Friday due to the sales of some of its divisions, as the company undergoes a restructuring following its government bailout.
American International Group is expected to report another quarterly profit Friday. But the elephant in the middle of the room is staying put.
So-called "fund manager of the decade" Bruce Berkowitz has upped his stake in AIG, to the point that his $14 billion stock fund owns nearly a quarter of the troubled insurance company.
As investigators comb through the wreckage of the financial meltdown, one fact remains clear and startling: Credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations, as well as debt and equity from large financial firms were useless as indicators of fiscal health. One of the biggest revelations has been the utter failure of markets to capture the relevant information required to set accurate prices on securities.
Joseph Cassano, the man who ran the business at the center of AIG's collapse, spoke unapologetically about his tenure during a hearing Wednesday, suggesting he could have perhaps helped save the insurance giant had he been allowed to stay on at AIG.
The federal government could have pressed the private sector to help rescue AIG when the company was on the verge of collapse in September 2008, a government watchdog has found. Instead, it let Wall Street off easy.
Taxpayers have lent AIG $132.6 billion, but getting that money back is looking less likely.
AIG and Prudential PLC formally terminated a deal for an Asian life insurance unit on Thursday that would have accelerated AIG's bailout repayment to the U.S. government.
AIG on Tuesday rejected Prudential PLC's lower bid for an Asian life insurance unit, jeopardizing a deal that would have accelerated AIG's bailout repayment to the U.S. government.
An overseer of the $700 billion financial sector bailout said Wednesday that insurer AIG lacked regulation, leading to a taxpayer-funded rescue that "broke all the rules."
The U.S. Justice Department has concluded its criminal probe into AIG and will not pursue charges against the insurer or its senior executives.
Troubled insurer AIG reported a quarterly profit Friday, as the company's core insurance businesses continued to stabilize.
As legislators continue to trade loud barbs over the details of the bill that seeks to overhaul our financial system, we risk losing a crucial aspect of reform in the din.
It's hard to think of AIG as a victim after the insurer made failed bets that were so big, taxpayers were forced to bail the firm out to the tune of $182 billion.
CNN's Richard Quest sits down with the former head of AIG and current CEO of C.V. Starr, Hank Greenberg.
Many believe that corporate greed brought on the Great Recession, yet Friday's fraud charge against Goldman Sachs is one of only a few federal lawsuits to come out of the economic downturn.
The AIG story that just won't go away is entering phase two.
Investors had a funny way of commemorating the first anniversary of the market's bottom on Tuesday. They rewarded some of the stocks responsible for most of the problems in the first place.
Global financial reform topped the agenda Tuesday as President Obama huddled with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, whose country is at the center of Europe's debt crisis.
After selling off its second "crown jewel" insurance business in a week, AIG has made a sizeable dent in its plan to repay its debt to taxpayers.
U.S. stocks were set to open higher Monday, as investors weighed another deal involving insurer AIG.
AIG agreed Monday to sell its American Life Insurance Co. unit to MetLife Inc. for $15.5 billion in cash and stock, in beleaguered AIG's second sale of an international unit in a week.
AIG said Monday that it had reached a definitive agreement to sell its Asian life insurance business to Britain's Prudential PLC in a deal valued at $35.5 billion.
Stocks were poised to open higher after AIG reached a deal to sell off its Asian unit and investors digested the latest news on personal income and spending.
Britain's Prudential PLC confirmed Monday that it is in advanced talks to buy the Asian life insurance business of bailed-out insurer American International Group Inc.
Stocks ended little changed Friday as investors showed caution after a surprise drop in existing home sales, a surprise rise in GDP growth and AIG's worse-than-expected quarterly decline.
AIG reported a substantial fourth-quarter loss Friday, largely due to costs associated with selling off large stakes in its insurance businesses to reduce the debt it owes to taxpayers.
U.S. stocks were headed for a lower open Friday after a dismal report from AIG dashed hopes for an opening advance. A stronger than originally reported GDP report failed to boost sentiment.
After two straight profitable quarters, AIG is expected to report a substantial loss for the fourth quarter when the troubled insurer announces its latest financial results Friday morning.
The Federal Reserve is looking into what role Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms may have played in Greece's debt problems, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said Thursday.
Anastasia "Stasia" Kelly, 60, joined American International Group as general counsel in September 2006, midway between the ouster of longtime CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg in 2005 and the AIG Financial Products crisis in 2008 that forced the U.S. government to take control of AIG.
AIG has decided to keep up to $500 billion of assets that have been widely blamed for bringing the company to its near collapse, according to news reports.
AIG announced on Wednesday that it is changing the way it pays out bonuses to its employees, opting to determine compensation based on performance.
AIG is planning another round of bonus payments worth a total of $100 million for current and former employees of its troubled financial products division, according to the company.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told lawmakers Wednesday that he had no involvement in an apparent attempt by government regulators to withhold crucial information about AIG's bailout from the public.

A day after facing furious lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told CNN on Thursday that he would forever "carry the burden" of the decision to bail out AIG but defended it as the government's only option.
The shelf life for a Treasury secretary is often pretty short. Timothy Geithner may be nearing his expiration date.
AIG and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York have become targets of an investigation into whether the overseer had instructed the troubled insurer not to disclose certain key information to the public.
In the latest move to placate critics, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Tuesday invited the audit arm of Congress to review the Fed's bailout of American International Group.
The AIG bailout isn't going away, much as Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner might like it to.
AIG has reportedly changed its plans for restructuring its insurance business and its strategy for paying back the $70 billion it still owes taxpayers.
AIG announced Tuesday that it completed a deal wiping out $25 billion of its debt to taxpayers by selling stakes in two subsidiaries to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
AIG said Wednesday it agreed to settle long-standing legal disputes with the insurance giant's former chairman, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg.
Federal regulators, in rushing to rescue AIG last year, failed to use their clout to negotiate concessions from business partners of the troubled insurer, a bailout overseer said on Monday.
AIG Chief Executive Robert Benmosche told his staff on Wednesday that he is "frustrated" with ongoing discussions with the government about bonuses, but he will remain with the company.
AIG reported its second profitable quarter in a row early Friday, as stabilization in its insurance businesses, and the credit and mortgage markets helped boost results.
Generosity doesn't make bonuses smaller. Some critics of huge bank payouts apparently would go easier on recipients who give a chunk of their winnings to charity.
Congress is resurfacing its outrage over AIG's bonuses after a report detailed the vast scope and scale of the troubled insurer's executive compensation plan.
The Treasury Department, after missing an opportunity to rein in controversial bonuses to AIG employees last year, is now pressing the bailed out insurer to reduce a $198 million bonus pool, according to an overseer's report released Tuesday.
What to do with Wall Street's gluttonous gatekeepers?
Since being named AIG's chief executive in August, Robert Benmosche's brashness has unnerved board members and raised the ire of Congress.
AIG has stabilized thanks to a massive government bailout, but more than $120 billion in taxpayer loans to the insurance company remain at risk, according to a report issued Monday by a bailout overseer.
It may have been the shortest tenure as CEO of AIG when Bob Willumstad led the insurance giant during the summer of 2008, but oh, what a long three months those were.
Almost a year after it nearly collapsed, American International Group has only just found a chief executive who might stick around for a while. It has been a slow start to a marathon that began when Lehman Brothers went bust in September last year.
The market keeps chugging along. But with speculative stocks like AIG and Vonage leading the way, you have to wonder if the rally won't soon go off the rails like Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train. Ay-Ay-Ay!
AIG's stock closed at $47.84 on Thursday. At the start of the month, shares were trading at a mere $13.14.
Banks are still failing left and right, and according to a recent survey of top financial services leaders, a big majority of bank executives think that a recovery in their industry will lag an overall economic rebound.
Shares of AIG jumped as much as 31% Thursday after newly appointed CEO Robert Benmosche said he was optimistic about returning the troubled insurer to its former glory.
AIG's new boss will make an annual salary of $3 million and receive bonuses and stock options worth millions more, according to a company filing on Monday.
AIG may have reported its first quarterly profit in nearly two years on Friday, but the company still has a long way to go before it can repay the billions of dollars it owes U.S. taxpayers.
Less than a year after it nearly brought down the financial system with a misguided derivatives bet, AIG is everyone's favorite lottery ticket.
Troubled insurer AIG did not pay $2.4 million in bonuses scheduled to be delivered to top executives on July 15, according to a Treasury official nominee.
Lawmakers are quickly learning that "too big to fail" may be too complex to legislate away.
Maybe AIU sounded too much like AIG.
Bailed-out insurer AIG again found itself in the crosshairs of bonus rage on Friday over its plans to pay $2.4 million in executive bonuses next week.
AIG shareholders, a.k.a. U.S. taxpayers, ousted the majority of the company's leadership at AIG's annual shareholders meeting Tuesday, removing the overseers of one of the biggest corporate unravelings in American history.
AIG is expected to formally install its new board on Tuesday, when the company holds its first annual shareholders meeting since U.S. taxpayers were given majority control.
Since it is chillingly clear that U.S. financial institutions have for a good while been regulated no more stringently than, say, demolition derby drivers, Washington has belatedly locked the garage door and begun to debate strict new rules. The blueprint at hand is President Obama's sweeping proposal in mid-June to revamp the responsibilities of government agencies and impose new regulations on the financial establishment. Nothing about this plan will fall easily into place: Too many government agencies will dig in their heels. Too many financial companies will battle every aspect of reform that threatens their bottom lines.
The government bailout of banks, lenders, Bear Stearns and AIG brought in billions of dollars to the Federal Reserve in the first quarter of 2009.
Manchester United will soon shed the AIG logo, the British soccer team announced Wednesday, officially ending its association with the fallen insurance giant next year.
AIG Chief Executive Edward Liddy announced Thursday that he plans to step down from the company once the insurer's board of directors finds a replacement.
The furor over AIG's controversial bonuses is boiling over again.
AIG Chief Executive Edward Liddy will appear before a House committee Wednesday to lay out the company's plan for paying back billions of taxpayer dollars.
Embattled insurer AIG reported its sixth-consecutive quarterly loss on Thursday, but the $4.4 billion loss narrowed sharply from the previous quarter's record-setting loss.
CNN's Campbell Brown asks if AIG execs who received bonuses are being too harshly targeted by politicians and the public.
Let's take a look at the other side of the witch hunt for executives who received bonuses from AIG.
AIG made the first big dent Thursday in its mountain of IOUs to taxpayers.

For first responders, going to the scene of any serious accident can be challenging. But when a Shandaken ambulance driver arrived at a vehicle collision involving his wife and children, rising to the occasion was his only option. Our John Wagner explains how he got through it.
ULSTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- "It took the breath out of me to say the least," said Jesse Cowan, Town of Shandaken Ambulance Service.
As Jesse Cowan pulled up to the scene of a three vehicle crash, he came upon a first responder's nightmare. The first thing he saw was his wife's minivan, crushed, off the side of the road.
"Went into autopilot basically, I could say emotionally, because it was so stressful," said Jesse Cowan.
"It's the same thing here at the house when kids are bleeding and he knows something is wrong, then all of a sudden he's 'all right lets wrap it up, we gotta take him to the hospital, everything's going to be fine,'" said Concha Cowan, who began dating Jesse in seventh grade.
Jesse first made sure his four kids, ranging in age from 18 months to 14 years old were okay, and raced them to a Kingston hospital. Most EMTs in a similar situation are given the night off.
"Jesse came to me and said I really feel that I need to do this, this is my job. And that's really what sets him apart," said Capt. Richard Muellerleile, Town of Shandaken Ambulance Service Captain.
The accident totaled the family's minivan, but none of the kids left the hospital with more than bumps and bruises. Knowing it could have been worse, this Father's Day means so much more.
"An eye opener to what a great father I have and how he's just always there for us every day in every single way and there shouldn't just be one day to honor him," said Samantha Cowan, 14-year-old daughter.
"They keep calling him a hero, daddy you're our hero, thank you, but it's all normal for us, he's always been the hero for the family. It's the same Father's Day, he's just happier to be here," said Concha Cowan.
The 29-year-old heavy equipment operator for Shandaken has volunteered 12 years as a local firefighter. He started as an ambulance driver earlier this year.
"He's the hero from bedtime stories that without falter, hesitation that comes and saves everyone," said Samantha Cowan.
"He's always the person that we go to whenever the kids get hurt, whenever anything happens, he's the expert in our family," said Concha Cowan.
The Hallmark cards, the gifts...can't compare to the real present - a dad full of joy for his healthy family.
"This has been the best Father's Day ever... it makes me really love my family that much more," said Jesse Cowan.

I was suspicious of this title after noting that it was not, in fact, developed by the makers of the original game. My suspicions proved true, as it is not so much an expansion pack as an inordinately amateurish mod of the original game... its story claims to take place after the events of JA2, yet the scenes and dialogue are almost exactly the same, with a few characters inexplocablyread more moved to new locations and deprived of the lines in which they hint at what you actually want to know! The enemies appear to behave much the same, except they now wear blue shirts instead of red ones -many harmless civilians do too, which is needlessly confusing to say the least!
Some of the weapon sprites and armor names have been altered to emulate the real world rather than the Jagged Alliance canon, for no apparent reason other than the developers' personal preferences...
A few things have been changed, and even if it's been years since you played JA2, or if you haven't played it at all, you will know which they are right away -mercs moved to the AIM alumni section with very poor-quality explanations, the top two mercs suddenly being two german gentlemen with unusually boring backgrounds, rebel leader Miguel's voice actor having been swapped out for a substantially less talented one so that his lines might be modified in just a few places to fit the "new" plot, and left the same as they were in the original game out of sheer laziness in other places, despite the fact that this mod claims to take place after JA2 rather than in some strange parallell universe as one might assume- the list goes on.
If you like Jagged Alliance or X-Com, do NOT buy this. Buy JA2, Unfinished Business, JA1 or Deadly Games -Sirtech, at least, know what they're doing!

Leaving a review for an expansion set is a bit of a tricky deal. After all, there's no reason for you to get it unless you already like the original, and if you already like the original, what could I possibly add? Well, there's this: Wildfire is HARD, arranged by fans of the game to be the real final challenge. Wildfire is the tip of the difficulty pyramid as far as Jagged Allianceread more goes, but if you're an X-Com veteran you probably won't even bat an eye.
So again, there's really not much I can add, like I'd normally do in these reviews, because it's an expansion set. If you've already played Jagged Alliance 2 and Unfinished Business and you still want more, what's stopping you? But if you're questioning the heat of the difficulty, get out of the jungle. Wildfire's not very forgiving and, besides, GOG is already filled with other turn-based strategy games for your entertainment.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get this game to properly function before Vista on XP. It is a very good game, gives challenge and gives me the fond memories of staying up all night when XCOM was originally released. The nervous anticipation of your next encounter and what the next turn shall bring. Thank you for preserving and releasing the classics.

Fun and popular warm up. Steep start leads to fun slab climbing above. The rock gets really good just below the anchor, too bad it's not that way the whole pitch. (a fun option is to link this with the last pitch of Solar into one long lead)
Right of Caffeine Free, left of Purple Headed Warrior.
This first part of this route is steep climbing between giant huecos, and involves some reachy moves. Shorter people seem to have a harder time during the first half of the climb than others, but work your feet up and you will be fine-- the holds are huge and very positive (once you get to them). When you hit the red band of rock below the anchor pay attention-- there are a couple of loose blocks lurking-- make sure you avoid them.
Gets pretty loose towards the top. If you are new to 5.9 it will seem run out up there as well.
I really liked this climb. It's a bit reachy, but I found that intermediate moves could be made to compensate no problem. Steep moves to huge huecos where in one case at least there was a natural "handle bar" to grab. Be sure to jump on this one.

Hey all. I'm fighting an issue with my IH 424 (gas version), and need some advice.
After about 2 hours, under a load (usually going up a hill) the tractor will die. I can restart it, and it'll run for 20-30 seconds, then die again. Pulling out the choke knob causes it to run a little longer. Once on level ground, it'll run pretty well. Fuel pump was replaced last year, and I can hear it running while the problem happens. The fact that the choke affects the problem makes me think it's fuel related, and since the fuel pump is running I believe it's good. That leaves the carb, but I don't understand why it would take a couple of hours for the problem to happen. I can leave the tractor alone once it happens for an hour or two, then when I go back to it it'll run fine for a couple of hours.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
