Among the earnings stories for Thursday, Jan. 29, from AP Financial News:

CARLE PLACE, N.Y. (AP) _ Florist and gift retailer 1-800-Flowers.com Inc. on Thursday posted a fiscal second-quarter loss, reversing a year-ago profit, as the company recorded a big charge related to a big write-down in one of its business segments.

ISLANDIA, N.Y. (AP) _ Information technology management software maker CA Inc. said Thursday its fiscal third-quarter profit grew, helped by the company's broad product line as well as lower expenses.
