Spending by affluent helps Amex to strong quarter
American Express said Wednesday that its cardholders charged 12 percent more in the first three months of this year than a year earlier, and past-due accounts stayed at historic lows.
AP Business Writer
American Express said Wednesday that its cardholders charged 12 percent more in the first three months of this year than a year earlier, and past-due accounts stayed at historic lows.
The figures helped the company beat Wall Street expectations for quarterly earnings and added to evidence that the well-off are feeling more comfortable about increasing their spending than other income groups.
The average Amex household brings in $97,000 a year, compared with $71,000 for credit card customers overall, according to industry research.
The company said it earned $1.25 billion, or $1.07 per share, in the first quarter, compared with analysts' estimates of $1.01 per share. Earnings were 7 percent higher than the same quarter a year earlier.
Revenue rose 8 percent to $7.6 billion and also beat estimates.
Sales are growing much faster at luxury stores in the U.S. than for other retailers. American Express said its income in the U.S. soared 35 percent to $752 million.
Unlike Visa and MasterCard, which only process transactions, American Express issues its own cards. When cardholders charge more on their AmEx plastic, the company earns more in fees.
In the first three months of the year, American Express tried to get its expenses in line and cut its marketing, promotion and rewards to cardholders by 14 percent.
In recent quarters the company's expenses had risen because it gave out more rewards to fend off increased competition from card issuers like JPMorgan Chase.
However, the cuts may not be permanent.
"We will adjust marketing spend depending on economic conditions," said Daniel Henry, chief financial officer at Amex, in a conference call with analysts.
The credit card company wasn't able to cut back on all of its expenses. Costs associated with services for card members increased 35 percent, as it gave out credits for travel fees to platinum and Centurion cardholders and also gave lounge access to its Delta companion members.
Another area of concern was that commissions and fees related to travel, a mainstay at American Express, fell 1 percent to $451 million.
In March, American Express also passed the Federal Reserve's so-called stress test for financial companies. The company increased its quarterly dividend by 11 percent to 20 cents per share. It plans to buy back $4 billion of its stock this year and $1 billion more in the first quarter of next year.
American Express kept aside $412 million for future losses, up from $97 million a year ago. Last year the credit card company's reserves fell because it took a profit as loan losses dropped.
In after-hours trading, American Express shares fell 24 cents to $57.80.

ProSoccerTalk's daily soccer re-set – Thanksgiving version
Nov 22, 2012, 7:30 AM EDT
Happy Thanksgiving
We are not working much today. What are we, Wal-Mart? (And you shouldn't be working either.) So blogging will be light today … unless there's huge news, huge on the scale of "Franz Beckenbauer comes out of retirement to sweep for the Cosmos" kind of huge. That would be huge.
Soccer birthdays:
If you see Ghanaian international Asamoah Gyan today, tell him "Thanks! Thanks a lot! Thanks for scoring in the third minute of overtime against the United States back in 2010, bouncing Bob Bradley and the boys from World Cup South Africa. Thanks a ton!"
Also, tell the man happy birthday. The former Uninese and Sunderland man turns 27.
Former Vancouver Whitecap attacker Davide Chiumiento turns 28.
And Everton's Belgian international Marouane Fellaini (pictured) reminds us that it just seems like he's been around forever. Fellaini, having such a good campaign alongside Tim Howard at Goodison Park, turns 25.
Big Important Stories of the Day:
It's not a holiday in England, and that's where most of the David Beckham news tends to break from. (Those pesky British tabs work harder at digging into this stuff.) So don't be shocked if something happens on the "Where is he going …?" front. And don't be shocked if it doesn't.
RASNoD (Random American Soccer Name of the Day: Sasha Victorine
*Ahead on the blog today:
Major League Soccer will release the bulk of its awards next week as part of the build-up to MLS Cup; a few of the biggies are already out, like MLS Defender of the Year and Rookie of the Year. But we are too anxious to wait. So the ProSoccerTalk staff selections for MLS Best XI will be out at noon today.
Twitter daps:
What you should watch on TV today:
Since this is a day to celebrate American, check out U.S. Soccer's 2012 Male Athlete of the Year in action as Clint Dempsey and Tottenham visits Lazio of Italy in Europa League Action. Coverage begins at 1 p.m. ET on Fox Soccer Channel.
Immediately after on the same channel (No need to rise off the sofa!), American-owned Liverpool meet Swiss side BSC Young Boys at 3 p.m. ET
We'll leave you with this:
Seriously, get off the computer. Go spend time with family or friends. The blog will be here when you get back on the laptop tomorrow … or later tonight when you've had it up to here already with family.

Get ready, Seattle: Joan Rivers is rolling into town
The comedian will perform at Benaroya Hall on Feb. 29, just days after the Academy Awards.
Special to The Seattle Times
Joan Rivers8 p.m. Wednesday, Benaroya Hall, 200 University St., Seattle; $29-$55 (206-215-4747 or www.benaroyahall.org).
After more than four decades in the entertainment business, Joan Rivers is not ready to be an icon. The 78-year-old comedian is too busy for any of that nonsense.
Rivers, who will be performing Wednesday at Benaroya Hall, is still as sharp, tenacious and quick-witted as ever — not to mention one of the hardest-working comedians in the business.
Rivers appears with her daughter Melissa in the reality series "Joan Knows Best," is a co-host on "Fashion Police" and promotes her brand of jewelry on QVC. Somehow she still finds time to perform stand-up.
What keeps her motivated?
"I love the business, and right now I'm talking to you from inside of a limo, which is taking me to perform tonight," said Rivers, in a recent phone interview. "So a limo is driving me to do something I love and there's going to be a check at the end of it. That's a nice day."
Rivers broke into comedy by shaking up stereotypes and speaking about things that, at the time, female comedians did not talk about — subjects like sex, race, abortion, homosexuality and gender equality.
When asked what makes a good comedian, Rivers said, "I think a good comedian has to be able to say what you really think, and that takes a lot of guts. For something to be funny, it has to be true. That's the basis for all comedy."
Rivers has never shied away from controversy.
Celebrity death: "Very often we're so scared to say anything, this whole Whitney Houston thing now is such a great example, as it was with Michael Jackson. Slow down here, this is a druggie; druggies die young. Why are we all so surprised?"
Gay marriage: "I think gay men should get married but shut up," Rivers said, quickly adding, "That's only a joke! It's wonderful and terrific and fabulous. It's just the right thing to do."
Marijuana: In a recent episode of "Joan Knows Best" — in which daughter Melissa plays the mother figure and Joan plays the unruly teenager still living in the basement — Rivers and a friend smoked marijuana, much to Melissa's chagrin.
"I'll tell you that it (marijuana) should be as legal as liquor. It doesn't make you angry, it makes you happy," Rivers said. "We had a lot of fun filming that episode."
Rivers paved the way for female comedians the moment she stepped on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" stage in 1965. Carson recognized something special that night and told her she was destined to be a star — but she's not ready to be seen as an icon, or to cede ground to younger comics.
"I have no time for any of that nonsense because I'm still breaking ground," she said. "I'm still in the trenches and still in total competition."
Rivers has a few words for her fans in Seattle: "Get ready, you're going to be shocked. Comedy should shock you, and it's going to be good."

Medtronic Begins Disclosing Payments to Physicians
Medical-device company Medtronic, Inc. has begun voluntarily posting annual physician payments exceeding $5,000 on its Web site, well ahead of the 2013 deadline for mandatory disclosure of such information that was included in the new healthcare reform law.
The disclosure includes information about the type of relationship—training and education, research and development, advisory services, or royalties—as well as the rough dollar amounts and a few details about the specifics of the collaboration.
In the first quarter alone, the company paid more than $15.7 million in fees to physicians, most of it to orthopedic surgeons for surgical inventions. Orthopedists received $14.2 million, and royalty payments accounted for $13.9 million of that. Vascular and cardiac specialists, heart-rhythm doctors, and neurosurgeons received about $500,000 each, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Only 227 physicians or physician groups received $5,000 or more annually and met all the criteria for disclosure, and some received exceptionally large payments for the quarter. A Tennessee orthopedic surgeon received nearly $4 million and a Louisville, KY practice received $2.4 million in the quarter for spine surgery inventions.
Medtronic will not release aggregate dollar amounts with future updates to the disclosure database, because the "purpose of the site is not to provide that aggregate data, it's for patients to learn about the types of relationships their physicians have," says Steven Cragle, spokesman for Medtronic.
Although the healthcare reform law will require the rest of the medical device industry to disclose similar relationships with physicians in a few years, Medtronic has received special attention and criticism in recent years.
In 2008, Sens. Charles Grassley (R-IA), and Herb Kohl (D-WI) sent letters to Medtronic asking the company to provide details about its payments to physicians for consulting services after allegations surfaced that the company had paid kickbacks to surgeons to boost implant sales. Two years prior, Medtronic reached a $40 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice but denied any wrongdoing.
Kohl said of Medtronic's new disclosure policy that he appreciates "Medtronic's voluntary decision to stay ahead of the transparency curve."
In addition to disclosing payments to doctors, Medtronic has also revised its policies and procedures to make its relationships more transparent. Changes include limitations on royalty earnings and better documentation of fair market value and the business need for a service.

Transparency is an important step in erasing the appearance of impropriety. I applaud Grassley and Kohl for their novel approach to exposing outside influence. When will Congressman and Senators shine this same light on themselves? I'd like to see payments received by Sens. Grassley and Kohl posted on a website for all too see. Don't see to many self policing bills put forth by these guys.

Israel's accession to the Organization for

Binyamin Netanyahu said at a press conference on Monday
afternoon."I'd like to thank the 31 member states for voting for our joining the
organization. Any one of them could have voted 'no' and vetoed our
inclusion. They chose not to do so," Netanyahu said, adding that "at a
time when we keep hearing lamentations over Israel's
international isolation," this was a particularly welcome sign of
Israel's solid international standing.He thanked the OECD's
secretary general, saying Angel Gurria had taken
it "as a personal goal to lead the process [of Israel's inclusion into
the OECD], and we owe him a debt of gratitude."Earlier on Monday, at the Likud faction meeting, Netanyahu told the
assembled MKs, "this is a big day for Israel."Netanyahu gave
credit to Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz and Bank of Israel Governor
Stanley Fischer for leading the accession process, he also commended his
predecessor Ehud Olmert and former finance minister Ronnie Bar-On for
starting the push for OECD membership.'This
will bring Israel Billions'At the Labor faction
meeting, meanwhile, Defense Minister Ehud Barak also hailed the
decision. "This will bring Israel billions," he said." It's an
important day for the Israeli economy."Israel got the go-ahead
to join the OECD at a meeting of representatives of the 31 member
countries in Paris on Monday afternoon.At the OECD meeting, the
representatives were presented with an update on the status of
membership bids, and voted unanimously to accept Israel as the 32nd
member.The organization issued a statement at its Paris
headquarters saying it had invited Israel, as well as Estonia and
Slovenia, to become members.The three "will contribute to a more
plural and open OECD that is playing an increasingly important role in
the global economic architecture," OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria
said. He said all three countries had been "receptive to OECD
recommendations" and the membership talks were "constructive and open."The
official announcement of accession will be announced at the OECD's
annual ministerial council meeting in Paris on May 26-May 28.A 'prestigious
organization'Uri Gutman, the Foreign Ministry's director
of the OECD accession process, said Israel was now a "member of a
prestigious organization, but also an organization that has some
credibility and influence on the world economy."Speaking to Army
Radio after the vote, Steinitz hailed the decision to accept Israel
into the "most respectable socioeconomic club" as being of "immense
importance," saying it had both economic and political value.Pro-Palestinian
groups plan protests Pro-Palestinian groups planned
protests at the OECD's Paris base, and Industry, Trade and Labor
Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said on Sunday that Palestinian Authority
Prime Minister Salam Fayyad was trying to block Israel's entry.The
PA sent a letter to OECD nations asking them to postpone Israel's
membership bid.Accepting Israel 'like accepting the occupation' Accepting
Israel "would be like accepting its occupation of the Palestinian
territories," read the letter, which was posted on the PA Foreign
Ministry Web site.Ben-Eliezer criticized Fayyad's attempts to
block Israel and said the letter came at a time when "Israel wants to
open indirect talks to reach an agreement and conciliation between our
nations."A spokesman for Fayyad was not immediately available
for comment. As part of the
process of OECD accession, Israel has had to comply with
the norms and standards upheld by the 31 OECD member countries in the
fields of financial markets, anti-corruption legislation, technology
and innovation, and investment.In the final stage over the past few months, the organization has come
to agreements with Israel on ways to tackle three critical issues:
anti-corruption policy measures, in particular in the defense industry;
compliance with intellectual property legislation common in OECD member
countries; and the exclusion of statistics relating to territories that
are not considered part of the country.Membership in the OECD, which includes the major players in the global
economy, enhances Israel's ability to conduct an ongoing dialogue
with representatives of these economies; forces an upgrade in Israel's
public administration; improve Israel's corporate management, and
reduces Israel's risk premium and help attract investment.Sharon Wrobel and Bloomberg

Oman petroleum company employees go on strike
Omani workers at two companies stop work until demands are met
- Image Credit: COURTSEY TWITTER
- Petroleum company employees go on strike Oman Methanol Holding Company
Muscat: A number of Omani staff at two private petrochemical companies struck work on Monday, according to an independent group Monitor of Human Rights in Oman (MHRO).
The group has posted a picture of a group of striking Omani workers, wearing the uniform of Oman Methanol Holding Company (OMC), an Omar Zawawi Establishment (OMZEST) joint venture with Trinidad-based Methanol Holding International Limited (MHIL).
The group claimed that the Omani workers at OMC at the Sohar Industrial Port as well as Dalma Energy employees at Muscat went on strike on Monday.
OMC started production in 2007 and the plant produces more than 3,000 tonnes of premium-grade methanol per day, according to the company website.
Among various demands by the striking workers is the non-compliance by the company of the Manpower Ministry's decision, which mandates annual salary increases for private sector workers in Oman.
The ministerial decision No 32/2012, which came into effect in January last year, decrees that every private sector employee is entitled to a three per cent salary increase every year.
The striking employees, the MHRO group said in its post, are also accusing the management of OMC of breach of agreement reached with the trade union, in the presence of Manpower Ministry officials.
The striking Omani employees have also accused OMC management of marginalising the citizen workforce.
The workers charge that despite earning profits, the company was not giving adequate increase in salaries, incentives, bonuses and rewards. Telephone calls to the OMC went unanswered.
The MHRO group also announced that Omani employees at Dalma Energy went on strike on Monday in Muscat.
"They are demanding comprehensive health coverage, including for family members, among other demands," the group posted on their page on social media.
The Dalma Energy employees also have issues about their annual leave as well as salaries paid during the leave period. "They just get basic salary and are demanding comprehensive salary during annual leave," the post said, adding that the employees are also demanding removal of the company's human resource manager.
When contacted, the company's human resource manager refused to comment. "We are busy in a meeting to resolve the issue so are not in a position to give any comment," the company's HR manager, Khalfan Al Riyami, told Gulf News.

We understand the value of a good fan just as much as the next guy, whether said fan is reading our humble video game news site, or keeping us cool in the humid summer months. In Bizarre Creations' arcadey racer Blur, they're even more valuable, serving as the player's main form of character progression. In addition, fans will offer a few bonuses which will pop up in the middle of each race, including Fan Runs, Fan Demands and Fan Targets.
Bizarre Creations recently released video tutorials for all three of these bonuses, posted above and after the jump. We'd suggest checking them out if you're planning on picking up the game when it gets released next Tuesday.

text: Senna looking to further his career in America 17 July, 2013 Bruno with Marino Franchitti at Goodwood Bruno Senna's next career move could see him racing in the United States. After stints in Formula 1 with HRT, Renault and Williams between 2010 and last year, the nephew of grand prix legend Ayrton Senna switched to Le Mans with Aston Martin for 2013. But the 29-year-old has now told O Estado de S.Paulo newspaper that his options for 2014 are open. "Continuing with Aston Martin is one of the best options I have," said Senna. "But I also want to see if I can test in NASCAR. It was already supposed to happen at the beginning of the year." "I am going to have some meetings to see what is the best way forward. I also have options for Indy, Stock and NASCAR. What is not lacking is open doors," he added. Senna said he has enjoyed sports cars this year, revealing the "atmosphere is much more relaxed and friendly. In F1 everyone wants to kill everyone else". But he admitted to having some safety concerns, particularly after his teammate Allan Simonsen crashed and died in the recent Le Mans 24 hours. "The category is dangerous," said Senna, "but we all know the risks we are taking." He said that Le Mans is particularly dangerous, "The track is very quick, because of the characteristics, like the run-off. Racing there is one of the biggest risks you can take."

Theater shooting victim's dad to attend reopening
The father of a man killed in the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater says he will be present at the reopening, even though his daughter-in-law and relatives of some other victims are refusing to go.
Associated Press
The father of a man killed in the mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater says he will be present at the reopening, even though his daughter-in-law and relatives of some other victims are refusing to go.
Tom Sullivan wrote a column published in Friday's Denver Post ( http://tinyurl.com/auxoqn2) saying his son, Alex, would want him to be there.
Alex Sullivan was among 12 people killed in the July 20 attack in the Denver suburb of Aurora, which also wounded 70 people. James Holmes, suspected in the shooting, faces more than 160 counts including murder and attempted murder.
Holmes has not entered a plea. He is due back in court Monday for a preliminary hearing in which prosecutors will outline their case against him. His lawyers have said he suffers from mental illness.
Alex Sullivan's widow, Cassandra Sullivan, was among 15 relatives of the victims who said the invitation from theater owner Cinemark to attend a reopening ceremony Jan. 17 was "disgusting" and insensitive.
The families on Wednesday released a letter to Cinemark criticizing the Plano, Texas-based company for not previously offering condolences and refusing to meet with them without lawyers.
"Our family members will never be on this earth with us again and a movie ticket and some token words from people who didn't care enough to reach out to us, nor respond when we reached out to them to talk, is appalling," the letter said.
The 15 signers were related to nine of the victims who were killed.
A spokeswoman for Cinemark had no immediate comment Friday on the letter or on Tom Sullivan's column.
Sullivan's column did not criticize the families who are refusing to attend.
"I will never tell anyone what is the right way or wrong way to grieve the loss of a loved one," he wrote. He offered to support anyone else who does attend.
"The seat next to me will be saved for Alex, but I'll have an extra hand if you need something to hold on to," he wrote.
Sullivan also expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of support his family received from Aurora and elsewhere.
A victim representative for the Sullivan family didn't immediately respond to an email Friday.

Mais ce qui appartient essentiellement et uniquement à la raison, et ce qui en consequence est uniforme chez tous les peuples, ce sont les devoirs dont nous sommes tenus envers nos semblables. La connoissance de ces devoirs est ce qu'on appelle Morale…
Tous ces principes aboutissent à un point commun, sur lequel il est difficile de se faire illusion à soi-même; ils tendent à nous procurer le plus sûr moyen d'être heureux, en nous montrant la liaison intime de notre veritable intérêt avec l'accomplissement des nos devoirs.
But that which belongs essentially and uniquely to reason and which consequently is common to all peoples, is our duty to our own species. Consciousness of this duty is that which we call morality…
All of these principles joint at a common point, with respect to which we can delude ourselves only with difficulty; they tend to procure for us the most certain means of establishing our own happiness by showing us the intimate relationship between our own true interest and the performance of our duty.

The Rev. Roger Williams, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Glen Cove, said in a recent keynote speech at the Holocaust Museum and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, that "faith has been misused" and "has gone into the denial of constitutional rights."
Williams' speech at the museum in Glen Cove, coincided with a special Civil Rights exhibit commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington lead by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"We are talking along the lines of how faith has been misused and how it has gone into the denial of constitutional rights," Williams said. He discussed aspects of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech.
"On that day, our nation was asked...will we be what we say we are, or will we be a farce?...it was a daunting problem for America," Williams said. Williams, who is also a board director of HMTC and president of the Glen Cove chapter of the N.A.A.C.P, touched on both the religious and constitutional basis for slavery prior to the Civil War.
"Slavery was a sanctioned institution on the premises that it was Biblical," he said, noting that there were thousands ministers across the South who believed it was ordained by God based on erroneous doctrine. "So we have a precedent of how this misuse of the Bible and how faith can be used in America today," he said.
"Currently, I believe we are seeing the same sort of abuse afoot when it comes to rendering rights and equality and freedom for certain citizens of this country," Williams said. "I do believe there is hope. I do see those texts still in the Bible; however, the moral imagination of the people changed. It does say something about our interpretation.
"I do believe we still have one more opportunity to say to America that our nation will be for all people, and it is embedded in our constitution in the current debates we are hearing about what the Bible says about our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.
He said that, "As people of faith, it is not our job to replace the constitutional rights of people in this country with what we believe are theological reflections...what gives religion embodiment is that its theological reflections are real and claimed by its adherers. When those theological reflections are made into law to govern citizens, whether they be religious or nonreligious, is a violation of the constitution of the United States of America."

The Antics, Post-punk/indie rock band out of New Jersey
in Indie Music
Tonight, Pop Art Painter Jamie Roxx (www.JamieRoxx.us) welcomes The Antics, Post-punk/indie rock band out of New Jersey.
(click for) itunes
Luke Meisenbacher (vocals/guitar), Derek Rosengarth (guitar), Josh Reitan (drums) are the fun-loving men that make-up The Antics. "I don't write music that sounds exactly like something else or things that don't matter to me," Meisenbacher said about his writing style. The Antics' post-punk/indie-rock sound is often accented by 60's pop, surf and garage rock – the group is certainly capable of it all. Playing their individual instruments from an early age, each member grew up in a different part of New Jersey yet the members manage to play like they've been together all their lives. The band has been growing together for three years, and through the trials and tribulations; their brotherly bond has allowed them to develop a unique sound that speaks to their vibrant personalities.

Sonora, CA â October 2009⦠Stewart Audio, manufacturer of the finest quality American made amplifiers for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications, is pleased to introduce three new subcompact power amplifiers: the AV25 and the CVA Series, which includes the CVA-25 and CVA-50. With each model weighing less than 1 pound, these ultra-compact, versatile power amplifiers are specifically designed to be located in places typically off limits to traditional-sized amplifiersâwithout compromising sound quality or power. Equally significant, these amplifiers are ENERGY STAR compliant and incorporate Stewart Audioâs proprietary Signal Sense Power Technology⢠(SSPTâ¢) that ensures the amplifier is only powered when there is a signal present, thus saving energy and extending product life.
The Stewart Audio AV25, CVA-25, and CVA-50 are all Plenum rated and are designed to provide convenience and installation flexibility above the ceiling or in other environmental air spaces. This feature makes these amplifiers a great choice for concealing the unit to prevent theft and is also extremely useful when space is limited. With available pole and universal mounting brackets, these innovative power amps can be pole mounted, attached behind flat panel displays, recessed in lecterns, and placed in countless other locationsâmaking them an exceptional choice for hospitality applications, presentation spaces, and classrooms with AV projection systems or flat panel video displays.
So tiny in size that it sits comfortably on oneâs palm, Stewart Audioâs quarter-rack sized AV25 is a two channel, class D power amplifier designed to drive both 4- and 8-Ohm loads at 35W and 25W per channel respectively. Designed for sonic accuracy, high efficiency, and extended duty cycles, the AV25 features clean, full, dynamic range power that makes this unit ideal for both background music and speech. The rear panel has LEDs for power, signal presence, and clipping, and its recessed gain controls ensure against accidental changes in output level. Additional features include remote volume control, balanced/unbalanced input, and an external inline power supply.
Like the AV25, Stewart Audioâs new CVA-25 and CVA-50 power amplifiers are ultra-compact, quarter-rack sized models. These mono, Class D power amps are designed to drive both 25V and 70V distributed systemsâoutputting 25W and 50W respectively. Featuring sonic accuracy, high efficiency, low power consumption, and extended duty cycles, the new CVA-25 and CVA-50 deliver clean, full-range dynamic power and incorporate a rich feature set designed to meet the requirements of fixed installations. The rear panels of these amplifiers have LEDs for power, signal presence, and clipping, and their recessed gain controls ensure against accidental changes in output level. Further, these versatile amplifiers feature remote volume control, balanced/unbalanced input, and an external inline power supply.
Brian McCormick, Chief Marketing Officer for Stewart Audio, commented on the companyâs new power amp offerings. âThe Stewart Audio AV25, CVA-25, and CVA-50 power amps are quite unique in their ability to address a wide range of installed sound applications,â? said McCormick. âThe fact that these amps are both ENERGY STAR compliant and Plenum rated enables these units to be concealed in ways that are simply out of the question for many larger amplifiers where heat and proper ventilation become major concerns. With the available mounting brackets, these amplifiers can go just about anywhere. As an example, the amplifiers can easily be positioned adjacent to ceiling mounted projectors using the pole mounting bracket. These American made amplifiers deliver first-rate audio quality, offer the features contractors require, and are backed by a comprehensive 3 year warranty.â?
The Stewart Audio AV25, CVA-25, and CVA-50 power amps are available now. MSRP for these models is as follows:

by Raina Clark, from the March 2011 edition of MarineNews
I asked a friend at Seattle's Pacific Maritime Institute (PMI) if she thought someone like me could successfully complete just one maneuvering task in their tug simulator after a couple hours of training. Ten years ago I'd run a cutter aground in San Francisco Bay when my Officer Candidate class was let loose in the Coast Guard Academy's simulator, but that was the extent of my shiphandling experience, real or virtual. As a testament to her optimism, my friend scheduled me in PMI's Z-drive tug simulator last January under the instruction of Captain Jeff Slesinger, author of ASD Tugs: Thrust and Azimuth, Learning to Drive a Z-drive. Since, no one was counting on me to actually pass a test, it didn't matter how I did, I told myself. But when I walked into Jeff's classroom, after official classes were over for the day, he commented on the performance anxiety I was obviously carrying with me.

My partner can at times be a man of few words, but I managed to get him to share some thoughts on what it was like experiencing labour for the first time when we had Tilly last year. He was such great support for me throughout the whole process, even if he did keep saying "Oh shit!!!" as Tilly's head made its appearance hahaha.
Before we had Tilly, what did you think labour would be like?
I thought it would be quick, like a few hours. But I did see on TV that it looked quite scary. It's pretty scary in person. I was worried, I just wanted you to be ok.
How would you describe the experience?
It was very emotional, scary and happy at the same time. It was hard seeing you in pain, and quite draining. The epidural was great, it made the situation go from intense to calm.
I thought your midwife was pretty average. She seemed experienced but she was no help, all she was doing was telling you how long it was going to hurt for and not finding a way to make it better for you which was frustrating. She should've offered you an epidural. Why do people not want to get one? What's the big deal? It's common sense to get pain relief if it's sore. I'd do something if it meant it was less painful, who cares?!
What was it like when Tilly arrived?
Words can't describe, it was amazing, the best day of my life. It looked excruciating when they pulled her out by her head… like this (demonstrates on Tilly's head lol).
What was it like for you afterwards?
It was hard leaving you at the hospital. I wanted you both to be ok and for you to get some rest.
What do you think it will be like this time around?
I think it'll be easier since I've experienced it before and know what to expect. I'll be more cool, calm and collected.
What advice would you give to other dads for when their partners are in labour?
Know what to expect. I didn't know what to do to help you and it was frustrating. I thought it might help take your mind off the pain if I counted with you.
Be a good support team. No one else is better support than you. It can be hard when you're the only one in the room who hasn't been in the situation before but you're still important.
Do you think it might've helped you if we kept up with our antenatal classes?
Possibly, but I don't regret that we stopped going. It was interesting but not enough for us to want to go every Friday night for however many weeks. A one day course might have been better.
I think the one thing I realised after this little conversation is how important it is for dads to feel prepared for labour. Obviously as mums we need the most preparation and care, but it's tough for our partners too. For me, I lost all sense of time. It was like I zoned out into another world. But for him, before I had the epidural, it was hours of being with me in the hospital and supporting me through every contraction; I'm not surprised he found it draining. I sure wouldn't like to see him in pain like that, even though there's something amazing coming at the end.
It's really important that dads know the things that they can do to support you, and also that they feel comfortable to do so. It is their baby too that is entering the world, so they first and foremost need to feel involved and that their input is valued by those in the room. I can imagine it might be easy to feel like you have to take a back seat when you're the only man there. You might have an idea of want you want to do to help or an opinion that you want to voice, but not necessarily feel like you can. This was particularly true for when I had the epidural (you can read a bit about my experience with it here). Your partner needs to know what you want so they can speak up for you if need be.
For first-timers, this could be a valuable discussion to have with your midwife, your partner and whoever else you are planning to include in this amazing experience! Make sure Daddy feels included, informed and encouraged.

Originally written on The Blue Mare | Last updated 10/20/14
Pacers Guard Lance Stephenson(Photo: Spurlock/USA Today) The Indiana Pacers. The Eastern Conference Finals. Who would have thought? We knew they'd be back…some year. But at the beginning of the 2012-2013 season? After losing their best shooter, Danny Granger, who would have thought it would be this year? Anyone who watched them in the playoffs. That's who. Because the Pacers did what championship teams do. When one player went down…the others stepped up. Guys like D.J. Augustin, Ian Mahinmi, and yes…Lance Stephenson. The guy who was much maligned, learned every lesson the hard way, and spent most of his first two seasons on the bench…has grown up overnight. He became a team player. And during game six of the Knicks series, he took over…and led his team to victory. There will be no game seven. The Pacers are headed right to the Eastern Conference Finals. Do not pass go…do not collect $200. On to Miami. And the Heat. Which is only appropriate…because it was against the Heat, early in the season, when we first realized what this team could do. That Paul George could play against LeBron James. That Roy Hibbert could defend at the rim. That David West and George Hill could provide solid veteran leadership in Granger's absence. And that they could win. Against anyone. Even the current NBA Champions. They're ready. More than ready. Lance Stephenson was "Born Ready." And now he's grown, matured, and come-of-age ready. And so is his team. The post Pacers headed to Eastern Conference Finals. And they're ready… appeared first on The Blue Mare.

Engine surges and kills and throttle hangs or sticks when accelerated
Front coolant container I noticed was dry and low coolant indicator was on in dash. Fans were running
tho. and I believe temp was ok.
2 Answers
Sounds like your motor mounts are bum-
of course you replaced the low coolant, dripping from the weep hole on the waterpump? of course this has nothing to do with the surging...94 was still a cable accelerator...that's what I thought. something is jostling and do believe the motor mounts are the cause.

Listen to Nguzunguzu's Set From Sónar 2012
LA's Nguzunguzu (a.k.a. Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda) commandeered a primetime set this past Friday night at the "consistently excellent" RBMA stage during the 2012 Sónar festival in Barcelona (check out our wrap-up here). The duo's preferred blend of bassy dance rhythms, world music influences, and tweaked R&B-isms has solidified its place among the outstanding artists featured on RBMA's roster at Sónar, and you're likely aware of our longstanding affinity for the group, too, so, naturally, we're more than excited to premiere this recording of Nguzunguzu's performance.

Hundreds pay tribute to 21-year-old hockey player
Hundreds of mourners, many clad in Whitby Dunlops jerseys, packed into a Port Perry church yesterday morning to say a final goodbye to hockey player and hometown hero Don Sanderson.

Hundreds of mourners, many clad in Whitby Dunlops jerseys, packed into a Port Perry church yesterday morning to say a final goodbye to hockey player and hometown hero Don Sanderson.
Many, including hockey commentator Don Cherry, were forced to stand at the back of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for the emotional hour-long ceremony because the pews filled up nearly an hour before the service began.
"I love him so much, he was my world," Sanderson's mother, Dahna, said in a statement read by Rev. Peter Lackmanec. In a similar message, Sanderson's father, Michael, called his son his "best friend."
Friends remembered the 21-year-old player's passion for sport and his devotion to the people he loved.
Sanderson, a defenceman for the Ontario Hockey Association's Whitby Dunlops, died Friday, three weeks after going into a coma following a fight with Corey Fulton of the Brantford Blast during a Dec. 12 game at the Brantford Civic Centre.
Lackmanec spoke of Sanderson's death as an accident.
The crowd sang verses of "Silent Night," Sanderson's favourite Christmas carol. The defenceman loved Christmas more than any other time of year, Lackmanec said.
Sanderson's peers thought of him as a big brother, and said he hoped to be a coach some day. He always looked out for others, using his brawn to defend the weak – perfect qualities for an aspiring coach, they said.
"He was more than a friend, he was my brother," one said in a poignant eulogy.
Others reminisced about his often naughty sense of humour and joked about his hulking size, drawing laughs from the crowd.
As the ceremony ended, the tearful Dunlops players formed an honour guard by the doors and shook hands with mourners.
Outside the chapel, Cherry, who had offered condolences to Sanderson's parents during Saturday night's Hockey Night In Canada broadcast, said the public reaction "shows how much he was loved."
"It's a tough deal. His mom and dad are strong people."
Brantford police have opened an investigation into Sanderson's death.
Video footage and eyewitness accounts of the brawl seem to indicate Sanderson's helmet fell off as he fell to the ice.
OHA president Brent Ladds said the issues arising from Sanderson's death will be raised at the organization's next monthly board meeting.
League rules state helmets must be fastened with a chinstrap, and stipulate game misconducts for players who fight.
The NHL has indicated it has no plans to alter its rules in the wake of Sanderson's death.
