To request an inspection please contact the Building and Codes office at 843-576-5259 before 3pm to have an inspection scheduled for the next business day. The work to be inspected must be ready when the request is made. Any calls made after 3pm will not be put on the schedule for the next business day but will instead be listed for the next following business day.

The Building & Codes Enforcement Department is involved in all phases of new construction undertaken in the City of Hanahan.
New construction plans are reviewed for conformance with the International Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel, Gas, and Fire Prevention Codes; the International Residential Code; the National Electrical Codes; and the State handicapped accessibility requirements. Conformance with Federal Floodplain Management requirements is also verified through the Plan Review process. The City is now a MS4 for Stormwater Management, so on commerical projects you have to submit plans for retention of your stormwater runoff; once the city approves your water management plans they are submitted to OCRM at DHEC. Once we have approval from OCRM then you can receive your building permits. Prior to the plans being released for construction, approvals are also received from the Zoning Commission.
Once all of the approvals are obtained for a project, a building permit is issued for construction. Contractors obtaining permits are required to have a State of South Carolina contractor's license, and a City of Hanahan business license for any type of construction. All licenses are verified prior to a building permit being issued.
Separate permits are required for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, gas, fire suppression, and alarm systems. Contractor licenses are also verified prior to the permits being issued. As construction proceeds, inspectors verify conformance to the adopted codes of the work in progress. Commercial projects require numerous inspections depending on the magnitude of the project.
Once a project receives approval for its final inspections by all disciplines (Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, Gas, Fire, Zoning, Engineering, D.C.C.. and Commissioners of Public Works), the electrical and gas meters are released to SCE&G or Berkeley Electric for connection to the structure. A construction Certificate of Occupancy is then issued for the structure.
You can download or print our Permit application it is located in the Online Documents section of this website under Building and Codes. Please note that due to readability issues, we do not accept faxed applications. they must be submitted in person.
All business firms, contractors, or individuals doing work (maintenance, repair, new construction) for hire in the City of Hanahan are required to have a business license and secure the necessary permit(s) before beginning work.
For more specific information, contact the Building and Codes Department at 843-576-5259.

Specifically, the requirements apply to renovation, repair or painting activities where more than six square feet of lead-based paint is disturbed in a room or where 20 square feet of lead-based paint is disturbed on the exterior. the affected workers include builders, painters, plumbers and electricians, for example.
Requirements: The current RRP requirements require paid contractors and maintenance professionals to be trained and certified on certain mandated lead-safe work practices before renovating or repairing housing and facilities for children built before 1978.

Staff Writer
---- — Through asphalt, dirt, tight turns and the elements, the Gran Prix of Gloucester has brought cyclists from around the globe to compete in a race around Stage Fort Park.
But the annual may soon overlook a new waterfront, with the chief organizer looking toward Salem Willows Park.
The race, typically held toward the end of September, has been in Gloucester since 1999 and has grown from a one day race of hundreds to a two-day gathering of about 1,000 cyclists — not including spectators, and the racers' friends and family members.
Now, because of concerns about repairs to Stage Fort Park and other factors, Paul Boudreau, president of the Essex County Velo, the nonprofit group that organizes the race, is looking toward Salem as an alternative site.
Since the fall of 2012, Gloucester residents and officials have raised concerns about how the repairs to the park are handled, as cyclists leave a mud trail in their wake, according to Boudreau.
"Discussions are ongoing, and we remain optimistic that we can reach an agreement (to keep the race in Gloucester)," Boudreau wrote in an email to the Times. "However, given the uncertainty that Gloucester would continue to be a feasible host city, we faced no other choice but to explore options for other potential host cities in the area."
In January, Boudreau and other Essex County Velo members addressed residents as well as Gloucester City Council's Planning and Development subcommittee, chaired by City Councilor Greg Verga with Bruce Tobey and Council President Jackie Hardy.
At that time, Boudreau addressed concerns about the racing cycling over the Lucy Brown Davis pathway, the dirt and rock path that leads from Stacey Boulevard into Stage Fort Park, as well as the condition in which the park was left.
Boudreau proposed smoothing over the Lucy Davis pathway and adding stone dust.
Work done to Stage Fort after the race ends includes using a Bobcat rake, seeding, spreading loam and placing hay bales around the dirt and gravel path.
"It was not very impressive, the condition they left the field," Verga said.
Verga said other minor issues raised were the amount of commentary during the race itself and the lack of accessibility to the park during the race; but said those problems could be solved with better signage and more communication.
In a report issued to city officials earlier this year, Boudreau stated the Gran Prix of Gloucester is not unique; that other events such as the Boston Marathon and the Charles Regatta also close off public spaces.
Verga said he would keep an open mind in having the race in Gloucester, as long as Stage Fort Park sees the repairs in a timely fashion and respect certain areas of the park.
Race organizers have not approached the Council's Planning and Development Committee about holding the event in Gloucester.
"The bottom line is I'm not going to bend over backwards and beg them to come," Verga said.
Despite the concerns by some, Boudreau cited the economic benefit the race provides Gloucester.
"Based on a Bentley University economic impact study, roughly 40 percent of participants stay in the Cape Ann region during the race weekend," he wrote.
The report also included positive recommendations from various local inns and motels. The Gran Prix generates more than $20,000 between fees and other expenditures in the city; a portion of that is used to repair the park, according to the report.
After all the bills are paid, money also goes toward local charities such as the Gloucester Writer's Center; although the net revenue measures in the hundreds, not thousands, of dollars, according to the minutes of the Planning and Development Committee.
As to post-race conditions, "we have identified a few ruts in the (Sam Parisi baseball field) outeld that require attention," the January report states. "However, our measurements show that the majority of the track is as smooth as the unused portions of the field."
Verga said he was contacted by officials in Salem to better understand the affects of the race.
In Gloucester, Boudreau has met with the Special Event Advisory Committee in May, and met with a number of city officials during a site visit of Stage Fort Park more recently.
In Salem, Boudreau has recently met with the city's Parks and Recreation Commission and has set up more dates to meet with Salem officials.
"There is an interest in the plan, definitely," Salem Superintendent of Parks and Recreation Karen Partanen said.
She added that officials are concerned with the short time frame, as the race starts toward the end of September.
In addition, there are also details about parking, restrooms and trash cleanup that have not yet been discussed.
Salem Willows Park has hosted foot races, but not a bike race, Partanen said.
Boudreau said the world class event will go on over the last weekend of September.
"In the race's 14 years, we have strived to be mindful, cooperative community partners and are dedicated to building upon the relationship with the city," Boudreau's email states. "However, if the Gloucester venue is not a viable location, we will be forced to seek an alternative site that meets the standards that racers have come to expect from this event."

600 ml bottle conusumed with pizza, on to the beer:
Good froathy white head on top this bread crust brown colored beer. Orange hues are blended into the color. If you think bread crust made its only apperance in this review, its here again in the aroma. Bread crust, baked bread, slight bready sweetness. To taste, once again you get a whole bunch of bread notes, but this time on your palate. A hint of sweet bread and toast add a twist to the flavor. Damn, no wonder they call beer liquid bread. Darn good, darn well balanced, and darn good with pizza.

Dark ruby brown color. Lots of thick light caramel colored head with long retention and leaving laces.
Aroma of toasted malts, caramel and piney hops.
Taste of toasted malts (a bit of smoked) with a nice crispy and hoppy kick which was unexpected for a Brazilian beer. Hints of pepper and pine wood. Dry aftertaste with a good bitterness and residual taste with notes of coffee.
Light to medium body with good carbonation.
It kind of grew on me, from ok to a quite decent brew. Last time I had it, it was on a lower level and much too soft. I am glad it evolved. To be fair, comparing to other Bocks is now on the top chart.

T: Follows the nose: Sweet caramel upfront. Caramel malts, roasted malts, smoked malts. Notes of dark fruits and coffee. Good bitterness
M: Medium body and carbonation. Roasted and mild bitter aftertaste

What a great fucking beer.
Pours a brilliant clear copper with a frothy head. Aroma of rich malt, with a bit of toast and bread. It's a bit on the subdued side, but still richly delicious.
The taste... brings me back to a bock that I had brewed by, of all places, Rock Bottom in Boston. And after all the crazy sours and hoppy brews... still a beer I reach back to in my mind as a seminal moment in my appreciation of beer (probably a close second behind my first Stone IPA)... and this brought me right back. I swear, this beer is a flawless bock. Rich, malt-forward medium, full bodied richness with a clean crisp hoppy bitterness.
A fine crispness, no residual sweetness on the tongue.
I can't imagine wanting to drink a lager more.
If only I was going back to Brazil to get more.

Appearance: very clear with a dark brown colour. No floating yeast. The head is very low with dark tan colour. Very poor retention and just a little bit of lacing.
Aroma: weak aroma of coffee, toast and some spices.
Taste: coffee, sweet malts, earth hops and spices.
Mouthfeel: smooth, average to low carbonation, medium to high alcoholic strength and a medium to light body.
Finish: starts a bit sweet and quickly turns to a light bitter feeling. Does not last very long.
Overall: Brazil is sure expanding its offers, giving the consumer a wide range of beers away from the macro lagers mainstream. Kudos. This said, Baden Baden Bock does not have a lot of character but it is nice anyway.

3.18/5 rDev -10.2%
Pours a clear dark brown with rubi highlights. Head is of a tan color with moderate retention and above-average sticky lacing. A nice looking beer it is.
Aroma is not very strong and mainly of caramel malt, burnt sugar, nuts and hints of wood and vanilla.
Taste starts malty again with caramel, nuts, burnt sugar. It ends a little bitter and sort of astringent. Aftertaste is kind of bland.
Body is medium with medium to high carbonation. I don't like the mouthfeel being that it is a little astringent and prickly. Bocks should not be that agressive on the palate.
Overall this is an average beer with a few good things like it's appearance and aroma and a few not so good things like it's mouthfeel and bland aftertaste. I'd like my bocks to be a little richer and more balanced. Still worth seeking it out though.

Brought back by a friend who made a business trip to Brazil. A very dark amber colour in the glass with an off-white head. Roasted malt aromas, a light candy sweetness to the smell. Flavours of cocoa, caramel and perhaps a little nuttiness. Not much of a hop aroma, but a slight hop bitterness in the fnish.

Do you think the couple should have given the ball to the child?
FLOWER MOUND - Thursday night, Cameron Shores tapped his bat on his backyard mound, kicked dust off the plate, set his stance, and swung. It was an inside-the-backyard home run at his Flower Mound house.
He believes he is Mike Napoli in a three-year-old's body. And when you're three, sometimes there is crying in baseball.
Wednesday night, the young toddler broke out in tears when at the top of the eighth, Mitch Moreland tossed a foul ball into the stands and someone else caught the ball.
Sean Leonard, a North Richland Hills resident and employee of the city of Southlake, attended the game with his fiance, Shannon Moore. It was the first game they had ever been to together. He happened to be sitting next to Cameron Shores and the boy's parents as the ball flew through the air and towards their seats.
The crowd got up on their feet, but it was sitting Leonard who was able to bend down and get a grip on the ball when it hit the ground.
Upon seeing this, the little boy broke into tears, bringing the attention of the game's New York announcers, who called Leonard and Moore "greedy."
"I remember seeing [the ball] on the ground, and then, he started crying," said Cameron's mom, Crystal. "It just happened so fast!"
The television camera showed Leonard and Moore taking pictures with it, while Cameron cried beside them. Then, the video went viral Thursday, and they were being called names all over TV and the Internet.
While the debate over the video reached the masses, it was something Leonard said he hadn't even realized happened.
"My fiance Shannon and I were honestly unaware of the situation of the little boy sitting next to us last night since we were so caught up in the excited and moment of being at our first Ranger's baseball game together," he wrote in a statement.
Leonard said as a soon-to-be large combined family of seven, that he and Shannon understand the emotions of a young child at a game. They spoke to News 8 Thursday afternoon.
"I love children, I would never hurt someone," Shannon Moore said.
They said it has been difficult being vilified by the now-viral video.
"It's very hurtful, especially when you know you wouldn't intentionally hurt somebody or hurt their feelings," Moore said. "Especially when it's a little-bitty toddler."
Crystal Shores is convinced Leonard and Moore had no clue Cameron was so upset.
"I really don't think they knew," the boy's mother said. "I mean, it's loud there. He had his back to them and I really don't think it was anything malicious. I don't think they did it on purpose or anything else."
All was good by the end of the night, though. Someone tossed a ball to the boy from the Rangers dugout, so he went home with his own keepsake. Leonard said in the statement he offered the ball to the child after the ball was thrown from the dugout.
"The irony of the situation is, had we seen that he was upset and known for an instant, there's not a person that knows us that wouldn't agree that we would have given the ball to the child," Leonard said.
Leonard and Moore would like an apology from Michael Kay, the Yankees play-by-play announcer who insinuated that they were being insensitive to the little boy.
"He took an event and sensationalized it, threw it out there, never checked or validated the facts," Leonard said.
They said their phones are ringing off the hook, and the whole ordeal has made their lives miserable Thursday, but they do have something to look forward to.
They'll be getting married on Saturday.
And Cameron slept with the ball he was thrown from the dugout Wednesday night. He's already forgotten.
Leonard and Moore hope others will soon forget as well.

What Others Say About ProductCamp SoCal
"I found the Orange County folks extremely friendly and welcoming. Even though I was only there for one day, the community was so welcoming, that I still get warm feelings thinking of the people I met... I felt very at home, made some great connections, and would love to see everyone again next year. And afterall, who can say no to that California sunshine?"
- Neicole M. Crepeau from Coherent Social Media

"About a year and a half ago, I was fired and ended up being unemployed. I decided I needed to go to a meeting of your group. It turned out that this was the week of your first ProductCamp. I went, and I loved it. A lightbulb went on in my head and I saw that I should be participating in the product management community to not only find a job, but to grow in my skills."
- Jeremy Gorr
"Thank you to all the creative, generous, and hard-working souls and sponsoring organizations who gave time, talent, materials, refreshments, and facilities to enable us attendees to enjoy such a fun and fulfilling day. This was very well done, from promotion to execution and follow-up. I gathered great ideas for next steps in my skills and career development that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. And I loved the price!"

KOTA Territory fire officials say if you happen to see smoke in the hills in the next few days, don't panic.
With the recent snow, the Northern Great Plains Interagency Dispatch Center says people are finally able to burn brush they've had stored up.
With the drought, the agency issued a total of 520 burn permits in November.
In just the last four days, fire bosses have approved a whopping 713 permits in the Black Hills.
"With the fact that we've got two to three to four inches of snow without any wind, ... we've got a really good, even snow cover," said Ray Bubb, division chief for Wildland Fire Suppression. "We sure have had a lot of folks who have applied for a permit and are out there burning brush piles on their private property."
Area fire leaders say if you are concerned about smoke, it's better to be safe than sorry, so go ahead and call it in.
If you'd like to request a burn permit, you can do so here.

U.S. Supreme Court
Equal Pay Case Fails Before High Court
Posted May 29, 2007 11:10 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The U.S. Supreme Court has limited workers' ability to sue for equal pay violations in a 5-4 decision interpreting the statute of limitations.
The court held today that the time for filing a pay discrimination complaint begins running with the original salary decision and there is not a new violation with each new paycheck, SCOTUSblog reports.
A contrary decision would improperly shift the discriminatory intent associated with prior pay decisions to later decisions made without bias within the limitations period, the court said.
Intent "can be a subtle determination, and the passage of time may seriously diminish the ability of the parties and the factfinder to reconstruct what actually happened," the majority opinion said.
"We therefore reject the suggestion that an employment practice committed with no improper purpose and no discriminatory intent is rendered unlawful nonetheless because it gives some effect to an intentional discriminatory act that occurred outside the charging period."
Plaintiff Lilly Ledbetter, who worked for Goodyear Tire Co. & Rubber Co. for 19 years, claimed her annual salary during her last year of employment was $6,000 less than the lowest paid man doing the same work, according to Associated Press.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote the majority opinion in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire, No. 05-1074 (PDF posted by SCOTUSblog).
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in dissent that discrepancies in pay gradually become greater over time. "It is only when the disparity becomes apparent and sizable, e.g., through future raises calculated as a percentage of current salaries, that an employee in Ledbetters situation is likely to comprehend her plight and, therefore, to complain," Ginsburg wrote. "Her initial readiness to give her employer the benefit of the doubt should not preclude her from later challenging the then current and continuing payment of a wage depressed on account of her sex."

The UC Berkeley Library contains one of the largest Slavic collections among US academic libraries. Materials are collected from all the countries of the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in all vernacular languages. Substantial material in English and other European languages is also collected to support Slavic Studies.
The largest part of the collection supports the study of Russia, its history and culture. Strong research collections exist for Polish, Czech and Hungarian Studies. Curriculum supporting collections cover the remainder of the East European countries. Through strong exchange agreements with academies and national libraries in the Caucasus and Central Asia, the Library has built solid collections for these regions and continues to do so to support increased campus interest in these subject areas.

Named Endowment
Endowment funds may be established with a gift of $50,000 or more. These funds provide the library with an annual income in perpetuity and have a lasting impact on maintaining a world class collection in Slavic & East European Studies. The University invests its endowments carefully to achieve a healthy rate of return that provides for both current needs and long-term growth. A special book plate will be created and placed in each book.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has ruled that the proposed Food and Drug Administration rule to require large graphic warnings in tobacco advertising and packaging violates First Amendment protections for commercial speech. The 2-1 ruling prohibits the FDA from mandating that 20% of advertising and 50% of the front and back of packaging be used as a "mini-billboard" to present the government's anti-smoking message.
The Court noted that the First Amendment does allow – in certain narrow circumstances – the government to require factual and non-controversial information to be displayed. However, the Court said the proposed warnings are not purely factual because they are "primarily intended to evoke an emotional response, or at most, shock the viewer into retaining the information in the text[.]" It goes on to hold "many of the images do not convey any warning information at all, much less an accurate statement about cigarettes."
Getting to the bottom line of what is required under the First Amendment, the majority opinion stated, the "FDA has not provided a shred of evidence—much less the 'substantial evidence' required by the APA—showing that the graphic warnings will 'directly advance' its interest in reducing the number of Americans who smoke."
This opinion is important not just for tobacco, but for any other potentially disfavored product or service.
AAF joined with our sister association the ANA to file an amicus brief in the case defending the free speech rights for advertising and commercial speakers.

Why not bikes? Where I grew up, we had to pay a registration fee when we purchased a bike. The retailer put a sticker on my bike with a registration number. So let's start with requiring a special registration fee (based on value) on all adult-sized bikes, new or used, sold by a licensed retailer in Seattle or King County. The retailer would collect the fee and submit it with the purchase info, including name, address, etc., to the state Department of Transportation. Current owners, those who purchase from private parties or over the Internet have one year to register their bikes or face being fined.

Lanier Leads FGCU in Series Split at UNF
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A three-RBI home run from freshman Emily Lanier (St. Cloud, Fla./Harmony) highlighed a four-run first inning as the FGCU softball team defeated UNF, 5-2, on Tuesday afternoon at the UNF Softball Complex. The Eagles fell 2-0 in the nightcap.
FGCU moves to 29-25 overall record and a 12-6 mark in the A-Sun for third in the conference, while UNF stands at 22-27 and a 6-10 league mark.
After striking out the first batter, UNF starter Cortney Radke gave up a single and a walk to put runners on. Freshman Kirsten Bembnowski (Palm Harbor, Fla./East Lake) then singled up the middle to plate freshman Brittney Garabedian (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) from second. The next batter lined out for the second out, but with two on, Lanier fired her fifth home run of the season to center field for a 4-0 lead. With the bases cleared, the Eagles got two more runners on thanks to a UNF error and another walk, but Radke settled down and notched her second strikeout of the game to end any further threat.
The Eagles tallied another run in the third inning when a hit by pitch and walk put runners on for freshman Regan Knapik's (Land O'Lakes, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch) single up the middle to score plate a run from second to lead 5-0.
UNF left a runner on third in the first, second and fourth innings thanks to a grounder and two strikeouts from redshirt senior Catherine McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla./Florida Tech) that ended the threat each time. It looked like the same situation in the third inning, but UNF scored two runs on Danica Mandarano's two-out single for a 5-2 score.
The Ospreys attempted to plate a runner on a single down the left line in the fifth, but senior Courtney Platt (Naples, Fla./Gulf Coast) made a great throw from left field to the plate intime to tag out the runner. McDaniel then held UNF hitless over the final two innings to snap a three-game losing streak.
McDaniel (15-10) earned the win, giving up two runs on eight hits and a walk, while striking out six in the complete game. Radke (19-18) also went the distance, fanning 12 batters in the loss, while giving up five runs on eight hits and five walks.
In game two, Caroline Torre blasted a two-run home run in the first inning, which would be all the offense the Ospreys needed as Radke worked a two-hit complete game shutout in the circle. Radke threw her seventh shutout of the season in which fanned nine batters and walked four.
Senior Kelci Breaux (Okeechobee, Fla./Brevard CC) was tagged with loss after working six innings, allowing two runs on five hits while fanning six.
Lanier went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored in the opening game, while freshman Tori Williams (Dunnellon, Fla./Dunnellon) (2-for-4) tallied the Eagles' only hits in game two.
FGCU closes out its 2011 schedule on Friday against in-state rival Stetson in an A-Sun doubleheader beginning at 5 p.m. at the FGCU Softball Complex.

His Airness held on to the snub like his favorite pillow, using it as motivational fuel to win six NBA championships.
Jordan isn't the only one to have his self-esteem shredded after finding his name missing from a cut list.
Gregg Popovich, the coach of the San Antonio Spurs, was cut from the varsity basketball team in high school. So was I.
By the same coach as Popovich – Bill Metcalf at Merrillville High School, just south of Gary, Indiana.
"His Mom told me that I ruined his life," Metcalf once told the Associated Press.
Funny, but that's pretty much what my Mom said when it happened to her son. My Mom simply said it with more Eastern European gusto.
That's where the Popovich/Bozich stories divert.
Pop was cut before his sophomore season. I got the ziggy during the middle of my junior year when Metcalf decided that if his team was going to finish 1-19, he could do it with freshmen and sophomores, instead of juniors and seniors.
Popovich rallied to play two varsity seasons for the MHS Pirates. He earned an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy, which directed him toward a coaching career, which led him to a job with Larry Brown, which has resulted in a career that will push Popovich into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. He's not Red Auerbach, but he's close enough.
If the Spurs beat LeBron James and the Miami Heat, it will be their fifth NBA title. Who's a better NBA coach right now than Pop?
Send your answers to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I watched Pop play most of his high school home games. He was gritty, determined, competitive and selfless – just like the Spurs. It's only a small stretch to say San Antonio plays like a collection of guys who pass the basketball as if they don't want to get cut by Popovich.
I don't remember how many points Pop scored, but it was a bunch. My standard joke is that if you combine our Merrillville high school numbers (we were there in different years), Pop and I delivered 567 points.
Pop had 565 – and I had two.
It's a line that always draws a laugh. But it's not the point of this column.
The point is that sooner or later, we all fail to make the cut. Right? Ask Landon Donovan.
I used to blame Metcalf for what happened. Now I blame somebody else – me.
Needed to work harder. Play more hours. Run all summer. Shoot all night. Live at the playground. Do the work.
Does Popovich remember the snub? What do you think?
Popovich once told Al Hamnik of the Northwest Indiana Times that he was such an important player at Merrillville that Metcalf never knew his first name. He thought it was "Craig," not "Greg," and called him "C.C."
"That's how important I am," Popovich said. "My high school coach had no idea my first name was Gregg. So I felt very special.
"I felt from that day, if I do become a coach at some point, I should probably learn a little bit about my players."
Popovich also learned another thing: He needed to change his approach.
Apparently, he did. Jim Vermillion, one of the assistant coaches at Merrillville, shared this story with the Indianapolis Star:
"What does a kid do when he gets in the gym? He shoots," Vermillion told The Star. "Not Gregg. He'd do defensive slides, line drills, and he'd do them on his own. He was the hardest-working kid I've seen."
I've never interviewed Popovich. But I'll predict that he'd tell me that getting cut by Bill Metcalf was a moment he's never forgotten – as well as a moment that Pop needed.

MBIA Is Still Alive for Bank of America Fight
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --MBIA (MBI)'s third quarter earnings missed analyst estimates, but demonstrated the bond insurer maintains sufficient liquidity to continue its legal battle with Bank of America (BAC) over subprime mortgages, according to at least two analysts.
In a note published Wednesday, Standard and Poor's left its rating on MBIA unchanged, contending that it has sufficient "cash and short-term investments to cover its debt-servicing needs and operating-expense obligations through 2013."
BTIG equity analyst Mark Palmer concurred in a report published Thursday. Palmer has a buy rating and target price of $22 on MBIA versus its $9.25 price in early trading Thursday.
Palmer wrote that though MBIA's third quarter earnings release, operating supplement and 10-Q "contain an ocean of figures, there is one amount that really matters, in our view: $386 [million]. That was the liquidity position of MBIA Insurance, the company's structured products unit, at quarter end. And we believe that amount should be sufficient to sustain the unit and to preserve the company's optionality as it continues its legal battles with Bank of America/Countrywide (and Societe Generale) and its efforts to collect its mortgage-putback recoverable from the bank," he wrote.Palmer noted that while MBIA's $386 million in liquidity represented a decline from the $543 million in liquidity that MBIA Insurance showed at the end of the second quarter, it is still higher than the $329 million it posted at the end of the first quarter. Palmer--as well as other analysts such as Deutsche Bank's Matt O'Connor-- expect Bank of America to ultimately settle its dispute with MBIA for $2 billion Palmer believes that settlement would also resolve Bank of America's challenge to MBIA's February 2009 reorganization which split off National--its municipal bond insurance unit--from its mortgage backed securities liabilities. "If MBIA is able to resolve the litigation challenging its Feb-09 split through a settlement or court judgment, the value of National will be unlocked and will flow up to the holding company and to shareholders," Palmer wrote. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

Amazon created a real buzz last week when it revealed that it's exploring the use of airborne drones to make same-day deliveries, but the idea of using robots for deliveries isn't entirely new.
Rush University Medical Center uses robots to deliver everything from linens to surgical supplies every day. They are called Automated Guided Vehicles, or AGVs, and every day, guided by lasers, 22 AGV's at Rush make about 1,000 deliveries--starting at the hospital's loading dock, and ending up a few blocks away, upstairs on hospital floors.
"We moved the loading block about two city blocks from where it used to exist, and really, we came up with the idea to put these in place because we'd seen it in industries outside of health care," says Nisha Lulla with Rush University Medical Center.
And while they're not as flashy as the Amazon drones, the AGVS's can carry up to 1,000 pounds apiece, carefully navigating underground tunnels to avoid collisions.
They can even stop on a dime when it senses something in the way.
Their destinations are programmed on touch screens and on robots give medicine, control room monitor their progress through the hospital is monitored in a central control room.
"The spinning piece on top here is the laser beam, that's picking up then on all the different locations in its travel path, so that it give it then it's travel location," Gordon Adell explains.
A single AGV costs $60,000. They typically carry boxes of linens, medications, and surgical supplies into the hospital, and they're filled with trash on the way out. The future could include meal deliveries.
Rush University Medical Center officials say no jobs were eliminated due to the AGV's and the robots have actually made for a safer workplace.
"The neat thing about this is that it's an ergonomic assist for all our employees," says Adell. "They travel about three blocks total and up a good incline, and the physical demand of this job would not be something that our techs could do without the assistance of the AGV."
Rush University Medical Center believes it's the only hospital in Illinois to be using such a delivery system, there are several others around the country.
