• Chevron Hawaii and Tesoro Hawaii operate the state's only refineries. Tesoro's refinery is the larger of the two. A Business story posted yesterday contained incorrect information.

• In a story yesterday in the Business section about income tax deductions for business meals and entertainment, The Associated Press erroneously reported that meals during business travel or during a trade show are fully deductible. While travel expenses are fully deductible, meals during a trip or trade show are only 50 percent deductible.

• Matthew Nichols, quoted in a story about "American Idol" competitor Jasmine Trias, said she appeared at but did not perform recently at the Hawai'i Convention Center, where he works with AKAL security. An Island Life story posted yesterday mischaracterized her visit.
