Shares of Morgan Stanley are up 12% in 2013.
The bank's burgeoning wealth management division logged strong gains, but sharp declines from its trading division rattled investors Thursday.
Investors also didn't seem to care that the bank beat analysts' forecasts for both profits and revenues.
Shares fell more than 4%.

As part of a major renovation of its banking business to move away from the risky behavior that nearly felled the bank during the financial crisis, Morgan Stanley has been building out its brokerage arm that caters to retail investors.
Morgan Stanley is in the process of buying the rest of what was once the brokerage firm Smith Barney from Citigroup. The two banks had operated the brokerage firm as a joint venture since Morgan Stanley purchased a stake in 2009.
Investors worry that profits and revenues in the brokerage business won't be enough to offset potential declines if Morgan Stanley's investment banking franchise loses it luster and trading revenues keep slipping.
"What is Morgan Stanley giving up in trying to dominate the retail side of the business?" questioned Guggenheim analyst Marty Mosby.
Breaking down the balance sheet. Morgan Stanley earned $1.2 billion, or 61 cents per share, on $8.5 billion in net revenues in the first quarter.
Revenues in the wealth management division rose by 5%, while profits jumped 48% from a year earlier.
But trading revenue overall fell 32% from the previous year, with debt trading falling sharply.
Those declines were partially offset by investment banking revenues, which rose from a year earlier, helped by bond and loan underwriting.
Morgan Stanley's return on equity -- a measure of how successfully a company returns capital to shareholders -- decreased to 7.6% from a year earlier.
Gorman said the bank continues to target 10% but that would still lag its peers. Goldman Sachs' ROE was 12.4% in the first quarter.
Morgan Stanley made some progress cutting compensation costs. Last year, compensation and benefits were roughly 64% of revenues. This quarter, that figure stood at 52%.
"Morgan Stanley has historically been seen as the most generous bank on the Street, and that hasn't been a good thing," said Christopher Wheeler, a bank analyst at Mediobanca.
Related: Goldman Sachs earnings were good. Too good?
Looking ahead, CEO James Gorman was more sanguine than many of his banking peers about the health of the global economy.
"We believe the broad economic outlook for the next several years is stronger than in the recent past," said Gorman in a statement, though he acknowledged "the global environment continues to have moments of fragility."
Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) is the last major bank to report first quarter results. Bank earnings from Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500),Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500),JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500), andWells Fargo (WFC, Fortune 500) have been mixed to poor. Only Citigroup (C, Fortune 500) managed to please investors.

Do it for 12 weeks.
I would start the AI a day or two before you up the dose. You already have extra estrogen in your body. Increased aromatization could very well aggravate your nips, and it is much better to keep gyno away from the start rather than wait til it shows up and chase your estrogen.

Well, It's Been Nice Knowing You: NASA Plans To Blow Up The Moon Tomorrow Morning
NOTE: If you're reading this after 7:30AM Eastern you may be dead.
As you may recall from the Pulitzer-winning article I wrote back in June (and an even ooolder article from April '06) , NASA plans to blow up the moon by crashing the $79 million Lunar Crater Observation and its Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) into the Cabeus crater on the moon's south pole.
When the twin crafts hit the lunar surface at around 6,000 mph, NASA expects "plumes of moon dust -- perhaps full of ice -- (to soar) 6.2 miles high above the moon's Cabeus crater."
NASA hopes the explosion and resulting unmooning (see what I did there? Like unearthing!) will finally settle whether there's ice and water under the moon's surface. And, if so, if it's potable. Nice, NASA -- TOO BAD YOU'RE GONNA BLOW THE MOON IN TWO LIKE BUTTCHEEKS! And do you even know what that's gonna do to the ocean's tides? I mean, besides make for the most epic day of bodyboarding EVER. See you at the beach, suckers!

This is the brand which you will go for given any day if you are even thinking of a filter to buy! Trust me, its superb!!
Till date I own 2 lenses and I have Hoya UVs and polarizer for each one of them.
Apart from its fine quality, the filters are very sturdy as well. One of my lens once fell from a pretty height and its only of this UV filter, I saved myself from a heavy "price-shock"!! Even though the filter cracked from all parts, it saved my lens from any sort of scratch whatsoever!
I would highly recommend Hoya for all who wants to protect their lenses from uncertain "fall-offs" and at the same time wants good image quality with the filters on.
Excellent UV filter with decent built quality. The one i bought through flipkart is made in japan and for a good discount rate of Rs.1058 (Mrp 1800). When i went to some local retailers, they were charging Rs 1200 for some local brands.One small request to flipkart to make it available, Canon Genuine Lens hoods especially EW-73B. Thanks.....

I have to relocate 3 rose shrubs in my back yard. What are the procedures? Can I cut them back. There is no buds growing yet.
Yes, you can cut them back at this point. It is best to water them really well before you move them (I like to do this the night before). Prepare the "new" holes BEFORE you move them. Dig a deep hole to loosen the soil and put some compost in the bottom (roses love compost). I would highly recommend that you buy a product called "Mykes" which is a growth fungus for the roots. It is amazing stuff if you can find it ... there is a formula for shrubs. If not, scratch some bone meal into the bottom of the hole.
I like to use a pitch fork (if you have one) to loosen the roots first. Do so all the way around the plant. If the root ball is really big, you might have to use a shovel to cut down around the plant but try to get as large of a rootball as you can. Before you lift the plant out of the hole, make sure your new hole is big enough to accommodate the new plant.
Move the rose to the new hole, cover with dirt and more compost, make sure you pack the dirt around the roots from the bottom up to avoid any air pockets. Then make a "well" around the plant with the dirt and cover with leaves or mulch. Water really well. If you have used Mykes when planting ... you won't need to fertilize at this point. If you don't use Mykes, fertilize with a root booster.
Hope this helps Suzie! :)

Private Homes house description
Three stories of lavish Italianate beauty with breathtaking ocean and golf course views await you at Florence by the Sea, our home across the street from the beach in Ocean Hammock. With every luxury from a pool to an elevator, it's a dream vacation home.
Boasting more than 5,000 square feet, Florence by the Sea is ideal for large groups, family reunions, or just a big family ready to spread out and get comfortable. The elevator makes it accessible for everyone, so it's a good choice for a multi-generational vacation. Ocean Hammock Resort is a family friendly, gated beach community. The world-renowned Ocean Hammock Golf Course winds through the neighborhood, affording spectacular views. There's something for everyone here!
Your favorite part of Florence by the Sea is probably going to be the giant atrium-ceiling lanai, located off the rear of the house for even greater privacy. Enclosed in this vast space is a lovely swimming pool with an adjacent Jacuzzi to massage those golf-sore muscles! There's also a full summer kitchen, with a state-of-the-art grill and plenty of room for seating and poolside play. Just wait until you find yourself floating in the pool, gazing up at the vast blue Florida sky with a cold drink close at hand! Stress and everyday cares just melt away here!
Step inside from the lanai and you find yourself in our family room, one of two living areas designed for a crowd. Here you'll find a huge HDTV, wet bar, ultra-comfortable sofas and chairs, stereo system with Surround Sound (this is available throughout the house), cool tile floors, and plantation shutters on the many windows. After a long day at the beach, the family room is like an oasis! Make yourself a drink, put up your feet, and enjoy the game or your favorite show.
The second big living area is upstairs. Our great room is filled with windows and surrounded by balconies, and boasts a huge fireplace in addition to another entertainment center with HDTV and all the trimmings. And if you need more space, Florence by the Sea has a spacious office!
One of the best features of Florence by the Sea is the kitchen, which is adjacent to the great room. Beyond the long granite countertop and breakfast bar, you'll find Sub Zero appliances, a central island, custom cabinetry, and all manner of appliances and equipment. You can prepare a feast for 20 in here without going short a single fork! The dining room awaits formal meals, while a sun-filled breakfast nook does everyday duty as a lovely place to sip that first cup of coffee, update your Facebook status (you have free wireless Internet at Florence by the Sea), and plan another perfect Palm Coast day.
Even more important than the kitchen are the bedrooms, and you will simply love the arrangements here at Florence by the Sea. There are 6 bedrooms, 3 with en suite bathrooms, including a 1st-floor room right off the lanai that is great for those with accessibility issues (10 steps to the pool for water therapy!).
The master suite includes a large living area with a couch and chairs, a king-size bed, a long bank of windows, and a balcony with panoramic views. The en suite bathroom offers his-and-her vanities, a walk-in shower, and a deep tub. This is an area made for late nights and long mornings! It is a haven, and only the promise of another great day in the pool, on the course, or at the beach will lure you from it!
The 2nd bedroom contains a king bed, with an en suite bathroom including a walk-in shower, while the 3rd, 5th & 6th bedrooms have queen beds. The 4th bedroom contains a bunk bed with two doubles (sleeps up to 4 kids). There are also 2 brand new queen sleeper sofa beds. All are spacious and pleasant, with all linens provided. Oh -- did we mention the full-size laundry room in this house?! And, 2 garages for extra parking or storage.
With handsome landscape and even a private walkway almost outside the front door to lead you down to the beach, Florence by the Sea simply has it all.

Windows 7, fully downloaded, it freezes at 14% during the install every single time. I have had to force restart my computer 5 times, I'm finally not going to do it anymore. I've been using Photoshop CS1 for a very long time, I want to see if it's worth spending the money for a newer version... but if I can't install it I can't try it. I have no problems with any other downloads, installs, or programs on my computer. There are no error messages, it just freezes my entire computer during install. No other programs running.
Difficult to figure out what could be going wrong.
Did you have the Photoshop CS6 Beta installed on your computer? That has caused some issues in the past.
If you didn't uninstall properly, you can use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove the Photoshop CS6 beta from your system:http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Other than that, you could have a look at the install logs and figure out what could be going wrong. Information here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5 -cs5.html
None of this provided anything. I followed all steps-no errors found, and just for fun I decided to check prior to pressing install button as well, but that folder system does not exist with the path provided in Adobe Support. The last section of my install log reads:

Then it just ends, no error codes, no fails, nothing.
Did you do a search of the log for ERROR and FATAL? You can also utilize the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation logs.
What is the token number which you received when you choose package for support? The package for support option isn't an automatic process btw. You can either contact our support team to manually review the install log for you or post it here and myself or another Adobe employee will be able to review the install log.
If you need an immediate response btw I would recommend contacting our support team.

BRUCETON MILLS, W.Va. -- It sounds as if it ought to be a drinking game: Grown men and women hurl a 2-pound cannonball as far as they can down a paved country road, each aiming to finish the 1.5-mile, chalk-line "course" with the fewest throws.
In some circles, though, Irish road bowling is serious business.
Players and coaches -- or players who think they're coaches -- stand in the road as a competitor pauses, studying the slope and the curves before taking a few running steps and pitching the ball underhand, releasing it just before his velocity carries him across the starting line. The ball rolls and the crowd parts, screaming, leaning, gesturing and otherwise willing the iron and steel sphere to stick to the pavement.
When the roll is good, they pump their fists and bellow cheers that echo through the forest. When it's bad, the hurler hears silence or a few noticeably lower-volume words of encouragement.
"Irish road bowling is the greatest sport you haven't heard of," says Dave Powell, membership director and spokesman for the West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Association.
Road bowling is one of the oldest sports in the world, and one of the easiest and cheapest to get into. It requires no uniform and no gear, save for a 28-ounce cannonball, or "bowl," that the West Virginia group will rent for $5 per day. Play occurs on paved roads but seldom stops traffic. The action merely resumes after vehicles pass. Only during the largest competitions are roads closed to motorists.
The sport originated in Ireland and is played primarily in five counties there -- Cork, Armagh, Louth, Mayo and Wexford -- where it's known as "Irish Long Bullets." Crowds of spectators can number in the thousands, the masses filling the road but parting magically as the bowl begins to roll. There, the game is played every night of the week and provides regular entertainment and income for gamblers, with tens of thousands of dollars routinely and legally changing hands.
Janet O'Mahoney, 42, of Boston, is the wife of two-time All-Ireland champion Florrie O'Mahoney. She's traveled to his home country more than 20 times to watch about 150 matches, called "scores."
The biggest counties have the best players "because they're at it constantly," she says, but even children under 12 compete.
"Here, obviously it's a lot smaller and there are less people," she says, "but, as sportsmanship goes, it's the same."
In West Virginia, road bowling was first taken up by the Lewis County town of Ireland during the 1995 Irish Spring Festival. The state association has been holding tournaments ever since, mainly at festivals and fairs. Last year, about 1,000 people played, although only 25 to 30 are what Powell calls "hard-core" regular competitors.

Air Jordan XX8 "Galaxy" Custom
September 1st, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 8 comments
Part of the reason why the Nike Air Foamposite One "Galaxy" worked so well is blank slate that the upper of the shoe offered up. Following that same logic, the nearly lineless Air Jordan XX8 is shown here with a similar starry look, one that we have to imagine would have found itself in the official All-Star group with this sort of combo were to to arrive a year earlier. Continue reading to see the handiwork on this "Galaxy" pair of Jordans up close and then, if you like what you see, grab the one of one sneakers yourself from thekingofshoess on eBay.

I finally got hold of a fix for that. It will hopefully be implemented in the next week. In that case, I'll notify the plugin developer.
Is it still on the table to get rid of that stupid "ignore" feature? Obviously I say this as someone who has already been ignored by half the active userbase. Actual trolls are uncommon, and because of their nature are usually quickly banned (except one very recent example who was inexplicably kept around). So what other legitimate uses does "ignore" have? It's basically a "block the people I don't like lalalalalala" feature. I think that is silly and counter-productive, especially with new users starting to trickle in.
I'd very much prefer to keep the ignore feature. There are more ways for one user to make another one not want to be around them than simple mod-actionable trolling.
I am being sincere with my question. I don't see what would warrant blocking someone entirely if they are acting within the confines of the rules. There are people here I don't like (see: everyone), but since threads are, you know, group discussions, blocking them would do a disservice to myself and the community. And sometimes they contribute not-intolerable opinions! I don't think we should have a feature that, on the JC, just ends up indulging oversensitivity. Plus it would be confusing. I tried the ignore thing with that troll and I couldn't even see when people quoted him.
I'm gonna have to agree with Rilwen here. The ignore feature is a very useful tool to combat flaming. With it, it becomes a lot easier for someone to ignore a troll, and avoid a troublesome situation. Sent from my C5155 using Tapatalk 2
Oh really, the relatively new user Lord Tyrannus has saying a lot of unusually things in the movie forums and generally clogging up meaningful discussion in those forums, and he that doesn't deserve an ignore?
If I could edit my last post right now I definitely would, because that wasn't my best writing, but apparently I got my point across.
Flaming and trolling are against the rules. I know some of the Episode VII moderators pretty well. They don't let things like that pass-- that is, if they're alerted to it. If you don't report it, they may not be aware of it. Of course, what I was saying about oversensitivity could also apply. EDIT: lol Episode IV
Well then, if flaming and trolling is against the rules, I guess it doesn't hurt to ignore the troll because his post isn't worth reading to most users and ignoring it still prevents flaming which as you said, is against the rules. The best way to enforce a rule is to make it really hard to break it. Preventative measures reduce strain on moderators and generally make discussions so much more pleasant.
Moderators exist to get rid of or otherwise punish those who break the rules. There are like 50 of them for the Episode VII forum. Make them a bit useful.
Darth Guy, please stop a moment and actually think about this. It is not 'oversensitivity' to be aware of your limitations as far as how much drek you can read. If someone continually says things that irritate you, while still staying within the rules, and you don't want to snap at them and maybe get yourself in trouble for flaming, it's nice to have a button to press so that their comments no longer show up. If someone's posts frequently have undertones of creepy, but not clearly enough to be actionable, why should a person be forced to waste emotional energy on it? It's nice to have a button to press so that when someone just plain repells you, you can keep reading threads. You don't have to wonder if they'll show up in the thread and maybe remind you of unpleasant things. You don't have to mentally tense up at seeing a thread on your fave character show up, knowing it's only a matter of time before Creepy McCreeperson posts in it and you have to try to look past whatever was said. Practically everywhere tells us 'don't feed the trolls.' We're frequently told to just ignore certain things, because they're apparently not worth getting upset over. Well guess what? Here, we can just ignore things. We can hit 'ignore' and improve our online experience, without allowing the presence of someone we dislike to dictate whether we can or can't enjoy a site.

I'm currently a 3D artist using 3DS Max but a few clients have asked if I can do sun path analysis for them. I looked at Ecotect but it's not very clear how it works, so I had a couple of questions if anyone can answer them for me.
It's mentioned as an addition to the Revit BIM world so is it a Revit plug in or a stand alone piece of software? If it's a plug in, is it Autocad compatible? (I'm on autocad 2010, I don't have Revit).
If it's a stand alone piece of software can I model in 3DS Max and import?
Any help is appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The sun study feature is part of Revit - not an add in. I do not beleive AutoCAD has this feature.
You can model in 3ds max and inport it into Revit.
You can try a 30day trial of revit and see how it works.
OK so Ecotect is really just there to analyse the output of the tools that are in revit then? That's OK, didn't want to buy it and find it did nothing for me.
Thanks for the reply.
that looks interesting, thanks darren, i'll look into it.

CENTERBURG — Welcome news from the Ohio Department of Public Safety was among business items discussed Monday night at the monthly meeting of the Centerburg Village Council. The ODPS Emergency Management Agency confirmed that it will reimburse the village for 80 percent of costs it incurred in the cleanup following July's severe storm. Village Administrator Phil Lohmeyer said the amount of the reimbursement will be between $7,000 and $9,000.
Council Chairman Dave Beck reported that the Central Ohio Joint Fire District (COJFD) will host an open house this Saturday, October 6, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The department's building and equipment will be on display, and there will be gear drills, search-and-rescue demonstrations and air evacuation drills. Refreshments will be served.
The COJFD's current tax levy expires at the end of the year, and the department is pinning its hopes for 2013 funding on a 5.5-mill renewal levy that will appear on the Nov. 6 general election ballot. Council has expressed unanimous support for the levy.
Centerburg resident Roxanne Quinn addressed council about traffic safety issues on Union and Preston streets. Quinn said that excessive speed and instances of drag racing have created a dangerous situation in an area that is heavily traveled by people going to school athletic fields, playgrounds, Head Start and day care programs, and a senior citizen center. She reported that her family's pet dog was recently struck and killed by a speeding driver on Union Street, which has a posted limit of 25 mph.For the rest of the story

I am relatively new to owning an RV and I was wondering if KOAs as a whole are nice or if it better to stay non-franchise cg s. I f have stayed a few KOAs and I get the feeling that KOA does not monitor the cgs that are not in the more tourist areas. I plan on doing a lot of traveling and KOA has a great website to locate a cg. I hope that my poor experiences have been the exception rather than the norm. So, as a whole are KOAs to be avoided or enjoyed ?

Champagne Goes Green
When giving Champagne gifts do you ever wonder why the Champagne bottles are so thick and heavy? Because of their pressurized, excitable contents, Champagne bottles must be able to withstand at least 6 Gs of force when opened and thus are thicker-walled than normal wine bottles. To put this in perspective, blasting off in a rocket would put about 6 Gs of force on you. The bubbly is powerful stuff indeed.
Recently the Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC) announced the official launch of a new standard Champagne bottle that will significantly cut the Champagne region's carbon emissions. The heavy bottles previously used were requiring more glass in manufacture and more fuel for transportation, which was adding up to more carbon released into the atmosphere. The new Champagne bottle, which is more than 2 ounces lighter, will reduce annual CO2 output by 8,000 metric tons, which is approximately equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 4,000 cars. About 300 million bottles of Champagne were produced last year alone.
The new bottle has undergone significant testing and market use to ensure the highest quality and safety standards, and we should be seeing them on the market sometime in the next year. Cheers to going green!

Gov. Chris Christie says he isn't running for president in 2012
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has reaffirmed to supporters that he isn't running for president, even as a speech he delivered at the Ronald Regan Presidential Library was likely to stoke fresh speculation about his White House ambitions.
The Republican governor warned that the nation's credibility abroad was being damaged by troubles at home. He charged that an indecisive White House has deepened the nation's economic pain, and he accused President Barack Obama of preparing to divide the country to win re-election next year.
Christie later said in a question-and-answer session that he was flattered by suggestions he run in 2012, but he added, "that reason has to reside inside me."
He urged a capacity audience of about 900 that included former first lady Nancy Reagan to look at the website Politico, which had pieced together a long string of video clips of him saying he's not a candidate for the White House.
"Those are the answers," he told the crowd.
In his speech, Christie didn't spare Congress as he delivered a scathing indictment of Beltway politics. He said the failure to compromise, along with Obama's lack of leadership, had set the country dangerously off course.
In Washington "we drift from conflict to conflict, with little or no resolution. We watch a president who once talked about the courage of his convictions, but still has yet found the courage to lead," Christie said.
"We watch a Congress at war with itself because they are unwilling to leave campaign-style politics at the Capitol's door. The result is a debt-ceiling limitation debate that made our democracy appear as if we could no longer effectively govern ourselves," he said.
Christie's appearance came during a three-day national trip in which the governor is raising money for Republicans and networking with party rainmakers.
With a reputation as a blunt-talking budget-cutter, the Reagan stage gave Christie the opportunity to extend his influence in a party that views him as a rising star.
Christie, the first Republican elected New Jersey governor since 1997, repeatedly contrasted Reagan's leadership skills with the dysfunction in Washington. Obama has positioned himself as a compromiser and deal-maker, but Christie cited his work in Trenton as the successful model, saying "leadership and compromise is the only way you reform New Jersey's pension and health benefits system."
He mocked Obama as "a bystander in the Oval Office" who was preparing to divide the nation along economic lines to win another four years in Washington, apparently alluding to the president's jobs bill, which proposes that wealthy Americans and big corporations pay more in taxes.
Obama is "telling those who are scared and struggling that the only way their lives can get better is to diminish the success of others," Christie said. He's "insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have already achieved the American Dream."
After the speech, Christie was asked repeatedly during the question-and-answer session if he would reconsider a presidential run. He declined, as he has many times before.
Lantie Jorandby, a 38-year-old physician from Florida who watched the speech, said she was unhappy with the GOP field and was eager to see Christie in the race. The registered Republican lamented the GOP presidential debates, calling them "a playground."
Mitt "Romney seems like a used car salesman. (Rick) Perry is out of his depth," she said. Christie "kind of has that Reagan-esque vibe."
Also Tuesday, his brother became the latest confidante to tamp down talk of a presidential bid.
"I'm sure that he's not going to run," Todd Christie told The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J. The newspaper also reported that the governor told wealthy donors in Santa Ana that he was not entering the race, echoing his previous statements.

Hi, new here so here we go : D, im a 6`2 175lb man and im currently surfing a 7`8 mini mal, however im starting to out grow her so im looking to move down to something shorter and more turnable. Most people would tell me to go for something like a 7`2 mini mal but unfortunately I havent got the cash to buy boards all the time so looking to go abit shorter. Surfed the GF's 7`2 and it seemed fine.
Ive been looking and like the look of the webber boards. Specificaly ive been looking at the Afterburner and the Pulse (formally the Fatburner). However im struggling to see the difference between the two can anyone help? Which of these is a better board for me. I surf in the North East of England where its generally mush/2ft to 4/5 ft on those special days : P Im looking to progress my turning and realy would like a board that I can start to duck dive to make life easier. I was looking around the 6`7 size will this be easily divable. I was also looking at the Webber `The One` board but understand this is more of a shorty that a performance fish. Or if you could suggest any other boards great!
Any advice would be great. Thanks

American Airlines pilots to use iPads for flight manuals
The FAA gives approval for the airline to be the first commercial carrier to toss out its paper-based flight manuals in lieu of iPads -- saving the airline $1.2 million in gas costs.
American Airlines will be the first commercial carrier to have all of its pilots replace their paper-based reference flying manuals with Apple's iPad.
The airline announced today that it received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to "to use the Apple iPad in the cockpit during all phases of flight."
All pilots fly with a kitbag that contains necessary flight information, navigation charts, and reference materials for when they're in the air. American is dubbing its new kitbag with the iPad an "Electronic Flight Bag." Switching from paper manuals to the iPad will save the airline $1.2 million in fuel, since the iPad is so much lighter than the 35-pound kitbag previously used by its pilots.
"With this approval from the FAA, we will be able to use iPad to fully realize the benefits of our Electronic Flight Bag program, including improving the work environment for our pilots, reducing our dependency on paper products and increasing fuel efficiency on our planes," American's vice president Captain John Hale said in a statement. "We are equipping our people with the best resources and this will allow our pilots to fly more efficiently."
Related stories
The program could expand to other tablets too, the airlines said, "if other tablets are approved by the FAA they will be evaluated for use."
In addition to the pilots, flight attendants might be getting iPads in the near future too. The airline has been testing how the tablet could ease attendants' workload by getting more information about customer's flight and travel needs.
"We're focused on building a new American where technology and innovation are fundamental to the company's return to industry leadership and exceptional customer service," American's chief information officer, Maya Leibman, said.

View Gallery | View Medal Day Book
The FDNY celebrated what many described as the "best day of the year," on June 5, when hundreds gathered at the 69th Infantry Regiment Armory for the 144th annual Medal Day ceremony.
"We're paying tribute to the bravest of the Bravest," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "Protecting the lives of others is a duty, a mission and a sacred calling. For that you have the City's deepest admiration and gratitude."
The event honored seven fire officers, 28 firefighters, two Emergency Medical Service (EMS) officers, four paramedics, four emergency medical technicians (EMTs), one fire marshal, and three fire companies for their heroic acts in 2012.
"You put your lives in harms way to make a difference," Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said. "Your work has made a difference to so many people. And each story you hear today is so important, because it represents the tremendous work our members do each day."
The year's top medal, the James Gordon Bennett, was presented to Lt. Thomas Woods, Ladder 154, for the heroism he displayed on Oct. 29, 2012, the night Hurricane Sandy hit.
While off-duty, he rescued 25 people from a rising storm surge and multiple-alarm fire in Belle Harbor, Queens. That night, Lt. Woods and his neighbors were forced to the upper floors of their homes on Beach 130th Street in Queens when neck-deep water flooded the area. To the south and east of Lt. Woods' home, a large fire, fueled by winds in excess of 80 miles-per-hour, was quickly spreading from house to house and raining burning embers from the sky. Over several hours, Lt. Woods used a surfboard, a kayak and his own swimming ability and training to rescue and remove his family and neighbors – including young children, seniors and a wheelchair bound adult – from the rapidly moving fire and flooded roadways.
This is only the third time since 1869, when the FDNY began awarding medals for bravery, that the top honor has gone to an off-duty member.
Yet Lt. Woods stayed humble about the honor saying, "This is just one story among many. There are a lot of amazing stories here today."
EMTs Marilyn Arroyo and Jimmy Guailacela of Station 46, were awarded the highest EMS honor, the Christopher J. Prescott Medal, for their extraordinary efforts to save three seniors from a trapped car during a flash flood in August 2012. They responded to a report of occupants trapped inside a partially submerged vehicle in Queens, with the water continuing to rise over the stuck vehicle. They scaled a fence, swam to the vehicle and safely removed all three occupants as the car was completely submerged, then evaluated all three patients to ensure they were in no further medical danger.
"My family is so proud and I'm just extremely happy," EMT Guailacela said. "I love my city and it's such an honor to be here."
EMT Arroyo agreed, "The day this happened we weren't thinking, so remembering it here today was overwhelming, it really brings me back. But this is what people in EMS do every day, so I think we're really receiving this for all of them."
Thirty FDNY members, including three fire companies, also were honored for their work during the storm. The World Trade Center Memorial Medal was awarded to Staten Island's Ladder 82, whose members operated for six hours, carrying residents to safety through neck-deep flood water strewn with floating debris.
"This is one of the best feelings I have had on this job," Lt. Michael Bernstein from Ladder 82 said. "I'm so happy for my firefighters, it's well earned."
Commissioner Cassano also announced at the ceremony that more than 7,000 FDNY members – both uniformed and civilian – who worked in the 24-hour period during and immediately after the storm will receive a Sandy Campaign Service Ribbon to recognize their extraordinary work.
Two Probationary Firefighters, Matthew Cook and Thomas Staubitser, were awarded the Lieutenant Kirby McElhearn Medal for their work as FDNY EMTs at Station 4 on March 28, 2012. They responded to a disoriented driver in Manhattan. While attempting to assess the patient, the driver stepped on the gas and sent the vehicle careening towards a crowded intersection. Their quick thinking enabled them to gain control of the vehicle before it struck any pedestrians.
"I'm speechless being here," said Firefighter/former EMT Staubitser. "I'm really excited to be here and I hope I'm making my dad [recently retired FF Thomas Staubitser] proud."
The Deputy Commissioner Christine R. Godek Medial was awarded posthumously to Fire Marshal Martin J. "Woody" McHale of Citywide North Command for his work successfully bringing to prosecution two men charged with attempted murder and arson from a fire in Richmond Hill, Queens. The medal was accepted by the Fire Marshal's wife, Hope, and his twin boys, Matthew and Ryan.

MSNBC suspends analyst Mark Halperin for Obama remark (Video)
NEW YORK (AP) - MSNBC suspended political analyst Mark Halperin for an off-color remark about President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" Thursday.
"I thought he was a dick yesterday," Halperin said on Thursday's show during a discussion about Obama's news conference the day before.
Halperin, a Time magazine editor at large, quickly apologized on the air and in a statement. MSNBC suspended him indefinitely and Halperin said he believed the action was appropriate.
Halperin had prefaced his remark by asking, "Are we on the seven-second delay?" and said after that "I hope it worked."
It didn't.
The reference was to a brief delay in a TV show transmission that gives a producer the chance to quickly silence an offending remark before it goes out over the air. MSNBC said "Morning Joe" had the delay, but a producer pushed a wrong button and Halperin's statement wasn't edited out.
MSNBC said Halperin's comment was "completely inappropriate and unacceptable" and apologized to the president.
"I want to offer a heartfelt and profound apology to the president, to my MSNBC colleagues, and to the viewers," Halperin said. "My remark was unacceptable, and I deeply regret it."
White House spokesman Jay Carney, a former Time magazine bureau chief in Washington, said Halperin's comment was an inappropriate thing to say about any president, and that he had expressed this sentiment to network executives.
Carney had no comment on MSNBC's decision to suspend Halperin.
Time magazine spokesman Daniel Kile said the company had told Halperin his behavior was unacceptable.

One down and two more to go for Manu Samoa in the Pacific Nations Cup Tournament. Mistake-ridden game but it is the first game for this brand new team with many players not having played with each other before, so a win is all that could be asked for. A good start for Head coach Stephan Betham, Samoa were lucky not to concede more points in the 1st half, but they took their opportunities well and were clinical when they did. Lemi's try was very well taken. Both his and Tuigamala's try showed the benefits of chasing the kick. Ki Anufe's tactical direction was needed.
On Sunday this week Samoa will be up against the flying Fijians, at Prince Chichibu Stadium Tokyo.
Samoa Under 20 Coach Soifua John Schuster has named line up against Fiji in its second Junior World Championship Campaign.Despite their first loss against New Zealand the team are hoping to put up a better performance against Fiji. The team are as follows.
