More than 1,000 people of various faiths braved cold, rainy weather Tuesday night to gather for song, prayer and a stemwinder of a sermon at Mecklenburg Ministries' 38th annual interfaith Thanksgiving service.
The two-hour event at Covenant Presbyterian Church, whose bells beckoned the worshipers, also included a Native American blessing, accompanied by drumbeat; a center-aisle performance by liturgical dancers from St. Paul Baptist and Friendship Missionary Baptist; and readings from texts sacred to Jews, Christians, Muslims and Hindus.
Mecklenburg Ministries, with nearly 100 congregations of many faiths, tries with the yearly service and a host of other events to promote interfaith relationships and social justice.
Ronald Carter, president of Johnson C. Smith University, a school founded by Presbyterians, started his thunderous preaching from the pulpit by calling Thanksgiving "a common-ground holiday" and saluting the sight of so many from different faiths joining together.
"I can see the boundaries that each of you has crossed in order to come together and congregate as a single community," he told those packed into the pews. "Each of you is distinct in your multifaceted faith commitments, yet also passionately aware that what brings us together is bigger than any of us and more expansive than any one of our tribes."
The theme of his sermon was the courage it takes to be thankful even in tough times like today.
"We can be our best in the worst of times," Carter said, later concluding that "we have the courage because God, God, God, is the center of (our) joy."
An interfaith choir sang, as did a children's choir. An interfaith orchestra performed. So did the Charlotte Bronze Hand Bell Ensemble.
And as part of its celebration of Native American culture, the crowd heard the debut of "We All Sing" by composer William Neil.
The service was moved to Covenant Presbyterian in Dilworth after St. Matthew Catholic Church in Ballantyne bowed out rather than formally invite Steav Bates-Congdon to be a member of the team planning and performing music for the service.
Last year, Bates-Congdon was fired by another Catholic church, St. Gabriel, after he traveled to New York to marry his longtime male partner and then put the wedding photos on Facebook. He is music director at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Fort Mill and helped with Tuesday's music.
There was no mention of the controversy during Tuesday's service, though the Rev. Glencie Rhedrick, president of the Mecklenburg Ministries board, did thank St. Matthew "for their creativity and steadfastness." She also thanked the Rev. Bob Henderson, pastor at Covenant Presbyterian, for "saying yes" to taking over hosting duties and to his congregation "for their spirit of cooperation and excitement."
The night appeared to offer something for everyone, including children. Srikanth Rajagopalan told the kids a story about Krishna, one of the most popular representations of God in Hinduism.
And in her Native American blessing, Robbie Warren, also known as Otter Woman Standing, invoked Mother Earth and grandmothers and grandfathers of the North, South, East and West, and said that "we are all connected."
The Rev. Nicole Martin announced that her church, the Park, which is marking its 100th anniversary this year, will host the 2014 interfaith Thanksgiving service.
Then the diverse congregation joined voices in "Let There Be Peace on Earth."

Funding ready for new Sandy Hook school
HARTFORD — Connecticut is prepared to approve the first round of funding for construction of a new Sandy Hook Elementary School building, the governor said Tuesday.
Lawmakers have set aside $50 million to help Newtown build a new school to replace the one where a gunman killed 26 people last December.

@ Etharius - what, like Skype maybe? :P. There are games coming, and we'll hear a lot more at E3 I'm sure. In the meantime, the likes of Uncharted, Wipeout, Everybody's Golf, FIFA, Gravity Daze, Burning Skies, Unit 13, F1 2011, Motorstorm RC, Mortal Kombat, MvC3 and Super Stardust in the first four months of _any_ system is actually almost unparalleled. Ie, you're sledging one of the best launches in the history of gaming for not enough games. A child of the ADHD generation perhaps?
On topic, wish the damn hackers would stay well away. We all know what it's for (piracy - there was _one_ good homebrew game for the PSP, but millions upon millions of pirated games), and it's effectively stealing from the livelihood of game developers. If they really only wanted PSP emulating power from the hack, then why not just play around with a PSP, eh? Pirates are bottom-feeding scum that are a drag on gaming, and hackers are the people that give them their weapons (ie, the arms dealers of the piracy world).

When should I tell family members that I'm pregnant?
I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and I'm not sure when to tell my parents, my brother, and my husband's parents. I've had two miscarriages in the past -- both after I told my relatives I was pregnant. Our families are coming to visit this week. Should I go ahead and tell them in person, or wait until I'm past the first trimester?

the same thing happen to me, i had two mis carry's before and lost them both right between 2 and 3 months and now im 19 weeks pregnant, and everything is good, and i waited to tell everyone until i got into my second trimester. so if you have told them good for you, but i would wait this time to just make sure : ) but good luck to you. hope everything goes great!posted 10/20/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I was 3 or 4 weeks when I found out but I told my family right away! My mother being the first I told! I wanted to share my experience with all my family even if it turned out bad because they could help me get through anything no matter how bad! I am now 38 weeks and I'm having a Csection next week and I'm so excited that I can hardly wait! I basically just let my joy take away me fear!posted 10/06/2010 by Crystal Renee Turner

I found out I was pregnant today. I am 5 weeks along. After telling my husband I called my mom. I specifically told her not to tell anyone until we had told my in-laws. She immediately called 9 thousand people. I am really hoping it doesnt get back to my in-laws before we can tell them. I know she is just excited but g's it is really frustrating. We are planning on telling everyone after both sets of our parents know though!posted 05/13/2010 by heathercolburn
My doctor told me that after a heartbeat is detected there is a low chance of miscarriage. You can wait if that is your choice, or share the news once the heartbeat is confirmed. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage (and did not tell anyone until months later), but I am 35 weeks pregnant my second pregnancy. With this one, I waited until I was 8 weeks (heartbeat confirmed) before I let friends and extended family know, however, I decided to let immediate family know right away.posted 07/31/2010 by angiefalangee
i have had two misscarriages. i am now 5 weeks, the only person i told was my boss just in case i needed to take time off for healing. everyday i pray that i will meet this baby. i will be telling friends and family when i make it to my 8th week.posted 08/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
It is tricky. I am 5 weeks right now and going through the same delema. I have had 2 miscarages and have one daughter. I was skeptical about telling anyone but i realized that if i have a miscarage that my family would find out anyways and it really wouldnt make much of a diffrence. Im waiting to tell my sister till im 2 months on her birthday though. She requested that if i got pregnate again not to tell her right away. She took it really hard the last time. I hinted around to it with my mom and she wanted to know so i told her and she was excited. Yes, having a miscarage is a tragity but i think it makes it worse when you get all the weird looks, and sympothy. Good Luck and congratulations! Go ahead tell them!!! My rule of thumb is if you still feel like your pregnant youll be fine.posted 07/01/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I AGREE THAT THERE IS NO "RIGHT" TIME TO TELL EVERYONE YOUR NEWS. I HAD A HORRIBLE MISCARRIAGE 15 MONTHS AGO, JUST DAYS AFTER WE STARTED TO TELL EVERYONE AND NO ONE REALLY KNEW WHAT TO SAY. I AM 5 1/2 WEEKS PREGNANT NOW AND HAVE ONLY RECENTLY TOLD MY TWO BEST FRIENDS AND MY SISTER IN LAW. WE ARE GOING TO WAIT TO TELL OUR OTHER FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CHILDREN AFTER THE FIRST TRIMESTER. THIS WAY IF I'M NOT FEELING GOOD OR HAVE A BAD DAY, THERE IS SOME EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND EXTRA HELP IF NEED BE. IT CERTAINLY HELPS TO EASE OUR FEARS OF ANOTHER LOSS.posted 06/18/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I have had 3 miscarriages. We are 9 weeks pregnant and we still decided to tell our families. As tough as it is -it is wonderful to have the support and love from your family through the good times and bad. Your family would want to be a part of this as much as they can -that is what they are here for. We did opt to only tell our families though. Best of luck!posted 04/12/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
We got pregnant on birth control 6 weeks after we were married, but we had a perfect pregnancy with our daughter, who just turned 5. I then got the Mirena IUD and after I'd had it for over a year I got pregnant on it and had an ectopic pregnancy, so I had to have surgery and have 1 tube removed. We tried last summer and got pregnant right away and told everyone between 5-6 weeks. I found out later that I miscarried at 10.5 weeks. We just started trying again in April and got pregnant right away. I am now 7 weeks and we've told quite a few people. I do not regret telling people last summer because when we did have the miscarriage we were surrounded by friends and family and their support. They brought us dinner for over a week and kept us in their prayers. My doctor has already given me over a 90% chance of everything being perfect this time around, so we are so excited! We told family right away, then close friends. There are still a lot of people we haven't told, but plan toposted 05/17/2010 by smoody12

Answer #1Visitor, January 05, 2011, 20:44
No Don't let a dealer tell you that you need a new engine. I Have a 2002 Corolla and it has 357k miles on the engine. I have redone a lot of the seals and timing chains over the years but the same bearing noise has been around since 119k miles. Don't let them make money off you!

Everything is repairable.
But sometimes, the cost of labor does not warrant repairs verses the cost of a rebuilt engine. That's what you need to look at - the cost of overhaul or partial engine overhaul in shop, the time it takes to do it, the unknowns that you will run into upon tear down...verses....a known cost, known time frame, and known repair success.
Replymunchkin5, January 05, 2011, 22:49Rookie
The car has 145,000 miles on it. I plan on keeping it another 2 years. Is buying a rebuilt engine and having it installed what you mean by a known time frame, and cost?
ReplyDaveJHM, January 05, 2011, 22:56Master
I think we didn't connect on this -- here's what I mean.
With a rebuilt engine, the major time consuming portion (repairing / replacing crankshaft, bearings, etc etc etc) is eliminated. Sending a cylinder head out for reconditioning or repair or even inspection and cleaning is eliminated.
Instead, you have an engine removal, parts swap from the old engine to the new one, and installation.
The time frame to tear down and repair an engine is far longer than replacing the engine with a rebuilt unit. (unknown time frame verses known time frame)
The cost - you won't know the final cost of repairs for repairing your engine until it is in many small pieces in the shop. This is because they don't know the extent of the damage until tear down.
Having a complete assembly to install - the cost is already known for the most part. (unknown cost verses known cost)...

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

|Please tell me what do bunnies eat? I moved here by a pond and the woods 6 months ago. Since then I actually put in a med size pond up next to my house (I needed a pond- a gold fish pond to play with-plants and fish). I have seen bunnies near the yard. Now tell me what do they like to eat?? I know nothing about bunnies and they look hungry. I see all animals as someone who needs supper-EXCEPT hawks!!! (Yes, I know they need to eat-BUT just not around me-not my birds!--not any of them). Lost a mamma bluebird in the summer to them-as she was about to feed her babies! Can't handle that part of nature. Does anyone have any methods that can deter them? Not crazy about snakes either. Everything else come get dinner!

|I think you'll change your mind about bunnies, when you start growing bushes and trees and flowers in your yard. They eat EVERYTHING. I finally had to fence in my back yard, to keep them (and the deer) from eating everything.
I don't think you ever have to worry about bunnies not having enough to eat.....except when there is a ton of snow, and then they will eat low-lying branches and bark. They do eat birdseed.
I quit feeding the birds a few years ago, when I got chickens, because the fallen seed always attracted the coons.......who love chicken. I also would have a cooper's hawk who would pick a bird or 2 from the feeder.
I guess if you don't want hawks, you might have to re-think if you are attracting what they like to eat.
It's like my water gardens.....I have them to attract frogs, but they attract snakes that eat the frogs too........
I feel that we can't always interrupt nature, in order to get only those parts that we want...... so you might have to learn to accept the losses to the hawks. But I do understand your sadness over it. I think the snake got my favorite frog. But that's how nature works.....and if I controlled it all, it probably wouldn't be anywhere near as balanced.
I try to protect those things that might get easily eaten. Like my chickens........I have them in a totally secure big run. But.......that means they never can enjoy a totally free-ranged environment. Sometimes, it's a compromise that we humans have to make. I'm not sure it's what the animals would choose though!
|Maybe 10 years ago, I tried to get some raspberry seedlings started in the backyard. They would grow two or three new leaves, get 6 inches high, and our local rabbit would come along and nibble everything down to the stem. This must have happened several times, it started to become a standing joke.
I perservered, and the raspberry seedlings finally got up to a foot or so, at which point they were no longer of interest to the rabbit. Our raspberry patch is now threatening to overtake the yard, so we no longer worry about the local rabbits. We have 20 blueberry shrubs, and I did see some rabbit damage to one shrub recently. They eat the tips of the lower branches.
|Thanks for the responses. I know I have a lot to learn. I'm trying. If I see a hawk I will be out running and yelling at it. I love all life. The bunnies must have a food that they love better than all others and I could grow it special for them. I will be growing lots of plants for the buttrflies and want the bunnies to be happy with their own as well. I also planted some blueberries and blackberries. Hope I will get to eat some of them. Didn't know bunnies liked them. As I said I am new to the country and have a lot to learn. Just trying to avoid problems before they happen or at least find out ways that may have worked for others.
- Posted by catherinet z5 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 1, 06 at 22:01
|You must be so excited to be living in the country! You'll have so much fun. It's a lifelong learning experience........but it's a great one!
About growing food for bunnies. Try putting in a garden for yourself, and that will keep them fed. hahaha
Seriously, they LOVE everything! They especially like young everything......the tender stuff.
|Yes I am excited. I am looking forward to living here and planning out my gardens. From what I am hearing I may be having trouble with that? Well now if bunnies eat the new growth of everything then isn't there something they love over all the rest? I could plant tons of it for them. Thanks again, molly
- Posted by catherinet z5 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 2, 06 at 21:57
|No Molly,
They will ALWAYS go after the new little plants in your garden. Trust me. I'm 56. I know these things. lol!
I can remember back to my first garden when I was about 25. Every time I would go back to it, the plants would be gone. I would call a farmer friend and keep asking "What can I do, what can I do?" And he kept saying "You gotta have a fence". I didn't want to believe him.......but that's what I had to do. And that's what I've had to do every year since. I've seen some people with beautiful gardens without fences, but I guess I live in a really bunny-friendly place.......lots of woods.
And the fence has to be a 1" mesh chicken wire fence that goes all the way into the ground all around. But you can put up a pretty easy 2 or 3' chicken wire fence around a garden.
But then the deer will step over it and eat everything. lol! Life is fun out in the country!
You'll just have to learn by trial and error what works for you in your neck of the woods. But it will be fun! Just always plant enough in your garden for you AND the animals!
|ellix, another thing you may learn, mother nature seldom needs your intervention. The rabbits were getting along fine with their own menu before you took up residence nearby - you wouldn't want them to become dependent on you for a food source.
That said, we don't have many wild rabbits here in town, the few I've seen will 'graze' often on clover and the self seeding nasturtiums - they were welcome to both.
ericwi, I did watch one little cutie (about teenage for rabbits) standing on hind legs stripping the lower leaves from the raspberries - it wasn't big enough to cause significant damage to the established canes :)
- Posted by garden_luvr z5 MO (My Page) on Mon, Mar 6, 06 at 20:55
|Dandelions!! I'm sure you have plenty those around. They love to eat the flowers, stems and leaves. It's funny because most people are trying their hardest to rid their lawns of them and then wonder why the rabbits are devouring their other plants.
|They do love dandelions that's true! I have two house rabbits Their favorite food is parsley which I am thinking of growing this summer because I buy so much they love escarole and romaine and chicory too which I am going to grow as well. Lots of greens. Outside I see rabbits eat grass clover and dandelions. Sarah
- Posted by furrycritterfan 5a WI (My Page) on Tue, Mar 14, 06 at 11:50
|Wide blade grasses, dandelions, clover, plaintain, mint, raspberry and blackberry leaves, lemon balm, thyme, basil, oregano, dill, ... all those wonderful green things!! Good healthy grass or wide-blade grasses. Oh, you can plant some petunias too and they'll love you for those. Seriously, keep the yard pesticide free and the bunnies you have will forage for good items to nibble. I plant specifically to keep and attract the few rabbits we see in our neighborhood. Most are killed off, so keep in mind that if you start to have an overbundance, it's going to hasten in/attract preds like Hawks, raccoons (who eat the young), domestic and feral cats, free-roaming dogs, etc., etc. Offer plenty of safe haven brush piles or thickly wooden areas. Yea, two red tails in the sky this weekend. We'll be planting this summer for Added cover for the beelers. From your comments, sounds like you got some bunny-heaven going on at the present state. sigh, how I'd love to have a couple more peaceful herbivore creatures to gaze at at dawn and dusk. Their wild happy dances remind me of our companion pets. The poops (from my house bunnies, too!) are great fertilizer.
Keep us posted. Link pictures if you can. Love to see them, fcf

|I am blessed at least with thick shrubbry plants around the yard-which is where I have seen the bunnies. I did plant blackberries as well as blueberries near that area. I figure there will be plenty for me and them and the birds. I am planting more plants--trying to create a butterfly haven as well. So the large butterfly bushes will create more safe places for them and (others). Sounds like the butterfly hosts plants are also favorites of the bunnies--the herbs anyway. I will plant many extras. I just don't want to walk upon a snake--though I am trying to train myself as I know with ponds and wildlife I won't be able to escape them. Glad to see others love wildlife as I do. I put in a goldfish pond up near the house/porch because I new I would need one even though I had a 2 1/2 acre pond about 100 feet down from my house. Over the winter I have trained those fish to wait nearby for dinner. They have gone and told others and more and more - hundreds now. I now sit out with a glass of wine and so enjoy feeding them- as well as the turtles.

Good Times Restaurants Inc. Announces Continued Sales Increases
Good Times Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ:GTIM) today announced its same store sales increased 10.2% for the month of January on top of last January's 8% increase and an increase of 6.4% for the first four months of its fiscal year. The Company also reported that sales for its new breakfast daypart featuring $2 Hatch Valley Green Chile Breakfast Burritos continue to grow and have recently exceeded 8% of total sales mix.
Commenting on the sales trends, President & CEO, Boyd Hoback said, "We are thrilled with our continued sales gains and especially with how quickly our Breakfast Burrito program has gained traction, given the challenge of establishing a new daypart in the QSR segment. Our promotional activity is beginning to taper off with sales holding nicely and it does not appear we are having any cannibalization of sales in other dayparts. We certainly hope to keep that momentum as we prepare to rollout our new `Hand Breaded, All Natural Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Tenders,' which we plan to support with a market-wide, multi-layered cable television advertising and promotional campaign."
The company reported that it is finalizing a new creative platform for the ad campaign with which to tell the story of both the new Springer Mountain Farms all-natural chicken tenderloin introduction and its Meyer Natural Angus all-natural Angus beef. Hoback added, "We continue to move the Good Times brand toward an all-natural, handcrafted position and we have what we believe is a compelling new approach to our advertising that we feel will support that position in a unique and creative way. It has been several years since we've used television advertising, so we're excited to augment all of our store-level and trade-area activity with marketwide, brand-building communications."
Meyer Natural Angus is the only major beef brand that has earned both the Certified Humane designation for its animal husbandry practices and the American Culinary Federation's Seal of Approval for superior quality. The cattle are fed a vegetarian diet of grasses and grains, and are never given hormones or antibiotics. Meyer also verifies the origins of its cattle and ensures they are born, raised, fed and processed solely in the United States.Springer Mountain Farms Chicken is the first poultry company in the world to be American Humane Certified by the American Humane Association. Their chickens are not only 100% All Natural with no steroids or hormones, but also are produced with no antibiotics. All of their chickens are fed solely a pesticide-free, vegetarian diet. Good Times is a regional chain of quick service restaurants located primarily in Colorado providing a menu of high-quality all-natural hamburgers, 100% all-natural tenderloin sandwiches, fresh frozen custard, fresh cut fries, fresh lemonades and other unique offerings. Good Times currently operates and franchises 39 restaurants.

M2M Evolution Battle of the Platforms Winners Announced
TMCnet News
M2M Evolution kicked off the inaugural Battle of the Platforms yesterday at the Austin Convention Center. The event highlighted innovative platform solutions capable of implementing a wide variety of M2M solutions and gave attendees an opportunity to evaluate and differentiate how platforms serve a wide variety of horizontal and vertical applications. All platform contestants highlighted solutions that address real business needs with quick, scalable implementations that exploit off the shelf capabilities that succeed in reducing costs, improving efficiency and driving profitability.
Innovation and cooperative partnering was not in short supply yesterday, as companies like VisTracks showed how their platform solution could benefit fleet management applications using geo location capabilities such as the ones provided by other Battle of the Platform participants, Gurtam and Locaid.
Many of our platform contestants pointed to each other as partners showing that we are developing a rich M2M ecosystem capable of delivering solutions across many verticals in worldwide markets.
Here is a rundown on the winners:
Overall Winner- Digi
Digi impressed the judges with not only their rich ecosystem of support for embedded systems but their ability for these systems to be addressed and managed by developers seeking to implement vertical applications. Their solution connects embedded systems to their cloud service they enable business intelligence to be quickly gathered and acted upon in their ROI analysis the payback for their implementation was less than four months.
Platform for Enterprise Deployment - senseaware and Eurotech
Senseaware delivered our only medical platform implementation. While speaking about pharmaceuticals and cold chain, the specific discussion focused on transporting bone marrow and how M2M was utilized to save a life. From that grandiose view of M2M capability we also got the benefit of the practical experience of managing vending machines from Eurotech. Eurotech provided a real hands on demo of a vending machine solution that gave us insight into how their customer was not only managing restocking functions but taking advantage of the Eurotech platform for other efficiencies. Hearing about these very diverse applications attendees gained an understanding of how almost any enterprise can benefit from M2M implementations these days.
Platform for best Business Intelligence Controls Solutions - On Asset Intelligence
With almost every Enterprise having the ability to benefit from M2M, the next logical question is - what can M2M do to improve a company's business intelligence? On Asset showed an amazing ability to provide intelligence not only from internal resources but from several external resources that were widely available from the web. On Asset's solutions help companies develop strategy, devise contingency/disaster recovery plans and implement crisis management. While it is an Internet of things the truth is - it's about the data and how companies act upon that information to improve business intelligence. This was a key attribute for On Asset's solution.
Platform for Service Providers - KORE
Delivering a worldwide solution in today's marketplace using any form of cellular technology can be quite daunting but KORE's solutions illustrated how service providers could show a global presence by affiliating themselves with KORE's platform solution. What is most impressive with KORE's platform is the attention to detail and the ability it gives service providers to seamlessly integrate with their own network controls down to each individual embedded component. KORE's solution removes the complexity from these implementations and allows service providers to focus on managing their customer's needs.
Enabling Independent Application Developer - RFM
RFM's case study showed clear ROI while also solving enterprise sensor solutions in a way that is addressable by developer, integrator or the customer. This solution maximized options within each environment. What was interesting about RFM's solution was the utilization of RF technology using "hoppers"

American International Group Inc. (AIG), the bailed-out insurer, climbed after citing a return to "sustainable operating profit" as it booked a tax benefit that fueled record earnings.
AIG advanced 1.5 percent to $28.40 at 4:01 p.m. in New York, after rising as high as $30.09 earlier in the day. The government needs to divest its whole stake for an average of at least $28.72 a share to recoup taxpayer funds. The shares have closed below the break-even price on the New York Stock Exchange every day since late July.
The insurer now projects that it will generate enough profit to use tax assets, tied to prior losses, that can limit future payments to the government. AIG's biggest unit, property- casualty insurer Chartis, and its plane-leasing business swung to operating profits in the fourth quarter, the New York-based company said in a statement yesterday as it posted net income of $19.8 billion.
"You're definitely going to get a bounce" in the share price, Josh Stirling, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said in a telephone interview yesterday. "The question is, How long and how sustainable is it?" He has a "market perform" rating on AIG.
The insurer, which booked a $17.7 billion tax benefit in the quarter, is among companies posting accounting gains as they return to profit after the recession. Ford Motor Co. said last month that it was removing a valuation allowance, created in 2006 as it began reporting operating losses, against deferred tax assets, because it expects future profits. The benefit contributed $12.4 billion to the automaker's $13.6 billion of net income in the fourth quarter.
Remaining Businesses
After-tax operating income at AIG was $1.56 billion in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with a loss of $2.21 billion a year earlier, according to the statement. Chief Executive Officer Robert Benmosche, 67, cited improvements at the company's units and confidence in future earnings as part of the determination to record the tax benefit.
Chartis had fourth-quarter operating income of $348 million, compared with a loss of $3.97 billion a year earlier, when the unit took a charge of more than $4 billion because reserves proved inadequate. International Lease Finance Corp., the plane-leasing business, had operating profit of $119 million compared with a loss of $606 million a year earlier as impairments declined.
The results "confirmed its return to sustainable operating profit for the full year," AIG said in a regulatory filing yesterday. "This, together with the emergence from cumulative losses in recent years and projections of sufficient future taxable income, represents significant positive evidence" that it will be able to use the deferred tax assets.
Full-Year Profit
Full-year net income of $17.8 billion compares with a $7.8 billion profit in 2010, when the company posted gains on the sale of American Life Insurance Co. and two-thirds of AIA Group Ltd. Book value per share, a measure of assets minus liabilities, rose to $55.33 on Dec. 31 from $45.30 three months earlier, on the tax benefit, AIG said.
"These companies always trade off their book value," Gloria Vogel, an analyst at Drexel Hamilton LLC who advises clients to buy AIG shares, said in a phone interview yesterday. "The fact that they grew book value 22 percent" will be viewed favorably by investors.
The Treasury reduced its ownership of AIG in May to 77 percent by selling 200 million shares for $29 each in a public offering. AIG was rescued in 2008 as bets on the mortgage market soured. The bailout was revised at least four times, swelling to $182.3 billion as the U.S. extended more credit and lowered the interest charged.

Plan a Red-Hot Cinco de Mayo Bash
Spice up your party with these must-have items
By Olivia Putnal
Drink Up
When hosting a Cinco de Mayo bash, Mexican beer is the way to go. We suggest Corona, Dos Equis and Negra Modelo. Cut up limes wedges for guests to add for some citrus flavor, and keep a few brightly colored Koozies lying around for people to use.

So this requirement doesn't get you what you are wishing for. -wsv On Dec 19, 2005, at 1:20 PM, Jim Whitehead wrote: > R2) Require servers to return entity tags for PUT requests > > Required.

Alcoa Reaches Tentative Agreement On Power Contract For Intalco Works
Alcoa (NYSE:AA) today announced that it has reached a tentative agreement on a long-term power contract with Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for its Intalco Works aluminum smelter in Ferndale, Washington.
The proposed contract, which runs through September 2022, will ensure power supply for the smelter and help sustain the economic impact the plant brings to the region. A 90-day extension to the current contract will be in place while a public comment process on the new contract is conducted, followed by a review by BPA.
"We are pleased to be one step closer to long-term power security for Intalco Works, an important manufacturing operation in the northwest United States," said U.S. Primary Products President Bob Wilt. "We want to thank our employees, elected officials and BPA for helping us get to this point in the process."
The contract is expected to be finalized by early December.Intalco Works started operations in 1966 and is currently running 576 smelting pots. The operation restarted half a potline in March of 2011, increasing its workforce by 88 employees. Along with 625 family wage jobs created at Intalco, the operation supports approximately $118 million in personal income in Whatcom County, $5 million in local taxes, $240,000 in annual charitable contributions and thousands of hours volunteered each year by Alcoa employees. About Alcoa Alcoa is the world's leading producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum and alumina. In addition to inventing the modern-day aluminum industry, Alcoa innovation has been behind major milestones in the aerospace, automotive, packaging, building and construction, commercial transportation, consumer electronics and industrial markets over the past 120 years. Among the solutions Alcoa markets are flat-rolled products, hard alloy extrusions, and forgings, as well as Alcoa® wheels, fastening systems, precision and investment castings, and building systems in addition to its expertise in other light metals such as titanium and nickel-based super alloys.

While doing the evening meal dishes, my wife spotted a flock of about twenty starlings--both adults and young--advancing through our back yard. All of the birds were busy snapping bugs from the grass. When they had covered all of our property, they advanced to the neighbor's.

Take-Two has just confirmed that it will release a version of GTA: Chinatown Wars specifically for iPad "later this month".
The game originally released on DS, taking the GTA series back to its top-down roots with gameplay similar to the PlayStation 1 originals.
The game was later released on PSP, and then on the iTunes Apps Store for iPhone and iPod Touch. Take-Two divulged no details on the iPad version, but with the bigger screen and a considerably beefier CPU in Apple's tablet device, you can expect touched up visuals at the very least.
Read our review of the DS version here.

The Carolina Panthers' front office hasn't spent the entire first week of free agency dealing with Steve Smith's situation.
It only feels that way.
While trying unsuccessfully to trade Smith and eventually releasing him, general manager Dave Gettleman has kept an eye on candidates to replace Smith as the No. 1 receiver.
The Panthers remain interested in New York Giants free agent receiver Hakeem Nicks, who told ESPN's Josina Anderson he was meeting with the Colts on Friday in Indianapolis. There was a report Thursday the Panthers made an offer to Nicks, although a source said it wasn't accurate.
Nicks, the former Independence High and North Carolina standout, has mentioned the Panthers as one of three teams he wants to play for. The Chargers also are said to have interest in Nicks, 26.
Besides his ties to Charlotte, Nicks is familiar with Gettleman, who was the Giants' pro personnel director when they drafted Nicks in the first round in 2009.
But with the Panthers' salary cap position, Gettleman is content to wait until the second week of free agency to find better value, as he did last offseason. The majority of the Panthers' free agent signings last year came during the second week.
Carolina also is keeping tabs on Green Bay free agent wideout James Jones, whose agent also represents Panthers coach Ron Rivera.
The Panthers don't have any receivers on their roster who caught a pass in 2013. Ted Ginn Jr., one of Carolina's top priorities among its own free agents, signed a three-year deal with Arizona on Thursday.
Ginn posted career highs with five touchdown catches and a 15.4 yards-per catch average in his only season in Charlotte, and gave the Panthers a proven returner. Kenjon Barner, seldom used as a rookie, likely will step into Ginn's role if the Panthers don't sign another returner.
Ginn's departure puts pressure on the Panthers to re-sign No. 2 receiver Brandon LaFell, who visited New England this week.
While the Panthers are looking to surround quarterback Cam Newton with playmakers, they moved Thursday to bring back Newton's backup.
Derek Anderson, the Panthers' No. 2 quarterback since 2011, re-signed on a two-year deal, a team official said. Terms were undisclosed.
"Happy to be coming back to Charlotte next season! #keeppounding#wantthatring" Anderson tweeted.
Anderson has attempted only four passes in three years as Newton's backup. But the Panthers' coaching staff likes the dynamic between Newton and Anderson, a former starter in Cleveland and Arizona who went to the Pro Bowl in 2008 with the Browns.
MUNNERLYN TO MINNESOTA: Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said he was betting on himself last offseason when he accepted a one-year deal to re-sign with the Panthers. That bet paid off Thursday in the form of a three-year contract with Minnesota worth $14.25 million, with $7 million guaranteed, according to a league source.
It's the biggest payday for Munnerlyn, who made $1.1 million last season when he finished with three sacks and two interceptions, both of which he returned for touchdowns.
Munnerlyn, 25, is the third Panthers free agent to cash in after playing on a one-year deal last season. Free safety Mike Mitchell signed a five-year, $25 million contract with Pittsburgh, while Ginn took a three-year deal with the Cardinals.
HARPER VISITS: Free agent safety Roman Harper was in Charlotte on Wednesday meeting with the Panthers, a league source said. Harper, a two-time Pro Bowler cut by New Orleans in a salary cap move, left without a contract but is expected to remain in talks with the Panthers.
Harper, 31, played in only nine games, with five starts, last season. He's the type of undervalued player Gettleman signed last year and said he was looking for again this offseason.
Harper would give the Panthers an experienced safety to replace Mitchell and possibly Charles Godfrey, who is coming off Achilles surgery and is a potential salary-cap casualty.
Harper, the Saints' second-round pick in 2006, was due to make more than $3 million in salary and bonuses this year for a Saints team that was tight against the cap.
The Panthers like to use their safeties to blitz, something Harper does well. His 17 sacks since 2006 are the most by any defensive back during that span. He also has 14 forced fumbles.
Harper missed seven games last season with a knee injury before returning in Week 10. He had five tackles in the Saints' playoff loss to Seattle.
EXTRA POINTS: Panthers wideout Domenik Hixon signed a one-year deal with Chicago. Hixon, a former Giant, caught seven passes and scored one touchdown in his only season with Carolina – but it was a big one.
Hixon, playing for an injured Smith, caught the game-winning, 14-yard pass from Newton against New Orleans in Week 16 that clinched the Panthers' first playoff berth in five years.
• Left guard Travelle Wharton, a free agent who started 12 games last season, is still mulling retirement. Wharton, 32, said he's received calls from teams, but hasn't heard much from the Panthers.
"I'm really just enjoying my family time right now," Wharton said. "I don't want to say I'm done and I don't want to say I'm going to keep playing for another five or six years. I don't know."
• Offensive lineman Garry Williams and tight end Richie Brockel both will make $650,000 in base salary this year, according to the NFLPA salary database. The players re-signed with the Panthers this week.

A casino ghetto: What NH could become
Senate Bill 152, the expanded gambling bill that has passed the Senate, requires the winner of a state casino license to invest at least $425 million in the casino, but that sum includes the $80 million cost of the license and whatever it costs to buy the land. That could drop the value of the casino itself by about $100 million. As our State House reporter Garry Rayno pointed out last week, that would make for a much smaller casino than the ones that will be built in Massachusetts, where the law's financial and physical requirements are larger and more elaborate.
We have criticized before the argument that people will flock from Massachusetts to New Hampshire to gamble when Massachusetts is going to have three casinos of its own plus a slot-machine parlor. If New Hampshire's casinos are significantly smaller and offer fewer amenities than their Massachusetts counterparts, as the differing investment requirements all but guarantee, New Hampshire casinos will draw few people from south of the border.
Clyde Barrow, director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, told lawmakers last week that about 20 percent of casino patrons don't gamble, but go for the entertainment. That figure has tripled in the past decade, he said. Small New Hampshire casinos therefore will start with a competitive disadvantage, which will get worse over time.
New Hampshire is offered these casino choices: build small casinos and draw money almost entirely from within New Hampshire, cannibalizing our own economy, or build huge casinos and wipe out many existing entertainment venues, making the casinos the single focal point for large-scale entertainment in the state.
That is if any investor will risk a dime on a casino after Gov. Maggie Hassan's legal counsel, Lucy Hodder, said last week that no casino license is guaranteed for life and any one granted by the law would be subject to later adjustment (higher taxes, a change in operators, etc.) by politicians. How comforting to someone who might want to invest several hundred million dollars.
New Hampshire is preparing to become a low-end casino ghetto. Just the image this tourism-dependent state needs to project to the rest of the nation.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Asked about what will happen tonight in Game 2, Taj McWilliams-Franklin laughed at first.
"I am going to have to look into my ESPN ball to see," the Lynx center said.
"It will be a lot different from both teams, actually. Indiana will be bracing for a harder game, more fast-paced," she said. "And we will play like we know how to play. Definitely. It's important."
McWilliams-Franklin said the key for the Lynx is not to overanalyze the loss in Game 1 too much.
"Focus in on what we do well," she said. "And that is run, rebound. And that is important for us, and important for what we do on the court. Just to remember who we are and not try to change that and be something we are not.
"We are not a set-up team. We can play that way but we would rather get out and run. We did pretty well the limited times we did in Game 1 and we are going to increase that."
Erlana Larkins, Indiana's 6-1 forward, kept the Lynx from running by either making baskets (she had 16 points) or grabbing offensive rebounds (seven).
How do you contain her? "I don't know," Mama Taj said. "We play and we rebound. So that's all we are going to do. We will see what happens.
"There are not drastic changes. Why would we do that? They only won by six. If it was like a beat-down 20, I think we would have to make drastic changes. We did a lot of bad things to ourselves that gthe Fever had nothing to do with.
"Then the Fever did a lot of great things themselves. For us if there is a drastic change, it wouldn't be Game 2."
* This is the first time the Lynx have trailed in the playoffs in either 2011 or this year.
* Seimone Augustus was named to the all-WNBA first team on Wednesday, Maya Moore and Lindsay Whalen to the second team.
* Taj breaks her own record for career playoffs appearances with every game she plays. Tonight will be her 62nd.
* Indiana had 38 points in the paint Sunday after ranking 11th out of 12 teams in that category during the regular season. The Lynx had only 24.
* Fever guard/forward Katie Douglas is out for tonight's game with a sprained left ankle. She averaged 16.5 points during the regular season and had 14 and 17 points for the Fever in their two mid-September losses to the Lynx.
