IN BRIEF ‘House of Cards’ announces return in May for 5th season BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — “House of Cards” will return in May for a fifth season. The show’s Twitter account posted a video on Inauguration Day featuring an upside-down U.S. flag in front of the U.S. Capitol. The video ends with the date May 30. An upside-down flag is a signal of distress. The show stars Kevin Spacey as President Frank Underwood and Robin Wright as his wife, first lady Claire Underwood. The upcoming season will be the first under new co-showrunners Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese. Former showrunner Beau Willimon stepped away from the role after last season.

(AP) — Ford says that a change in the way it values pension obligations will cut its 2016 net income by $2 billion. According to a regulatory filing, Ford changed the way it measures pension gains and losses so they’re counted in the year they occur. Ford will record a pretax pension charge of about $3 billion for the year. It says the loss is a special item so it won’t affect adjusted pretax profit. Ford still expects to meet guidance of about $10.2 billion in adjusted pretax profit for last year. The company says its pension plan was under- funded by $8.9 billion in 2016, compared with $8.2 billion a year earlier. New Mexico targets Takata, auto makers over air bags ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
