Hagerstown Community College will open a new science building and an expanded theater in January, at the same time it closes two other buildings for renovation.
"We need more space and updated and more sophisticated space for the types of programs we're now offering," HCC spokeswoman Beth Stull said.
In recent years, HCC also has added specialized programs such as biotechnology and alternative energy technology with the goal of providing courses and programs that are relevant for current and future students, she said.
Significant growth during the past 10 years has driven the need to expand, Stull said. In the past 10 complete fiscal years, the number of students enrolled in HCC credit courses has grown from 3,883 students in fiscal year 2002 to 6,850 students in fiscal year 2011, according to enrollment data.
The new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) building and a newly renovated and expanded Kepler Theater will open Jan. 9, Stull said.
In addition to the building campaign, HCC officials are planning new courses and students could be able to take all of the courses for two degree programs online as early as the fall of 2012, Stull said.
College officials are making sure all of the classes for general studies and business administration associate degrees, including science classes, can be offered online, HCC Recruitment Coordinator Kevin Crawford said.
The college also needs to get approval from its accrediting agency, Middle States Association of Colleges & Schools, for the online degree programs, HCC officials said.
Many of the school's general studies courses already are offered online, as well as a certificate in management, Crawford said.
As the STEM building and theater open in January, HCC will close its classroom and science buildings so they can be renovated, Stull said.
The new STEM building will serve the college's biotechnology, alternative energy technology, cybersecurity, math and engineering degrees, and will temporarily provide space for other classes while the classroom building is renovated, Stull said. Construction for the STEM building began in June 2010, she said.
The classroom building dates to the 1960s, when HCC opened its campus off Robinwood Drive, Stull said.
The building needs a face-lift and will have its technology and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems upgraded, HCC officials said.
The science building will become the Learning Center, where students will take placement tests and, if needed, remedial course work before taking courses for their degree programs, Stull and Crawford said.
The classroom building and Learning Center are scheduled to open in January 2013, Stull said.
Construction costs for the Arts & Sciences Complex, which consists of the STEM building, the Learning Center and the classroom building, are $24.8 million, Stull said.
Construction on the Performing & Visual Arts Education Center/Kepler Theater, which began in November 2010, cost $11.5 million, Stull said.
The 442-seat auditorium in the 33-year-old theater was refurbished and new lighting and sound systems were added, Stull said.
A second floor was added to the theater building, creating an open two-story lobby that has gallery space, Stull said.
The theater project added a black box theater, a dance studio, classrooms, a costume shop and faculty offices, she said. Dressing rooms, wardrobe storage and practice rooms were expanded.
The theater expansion allows HCC to increase its course and degree offerings and makes it a good place for Barbara Ingram School for the Arts students to transfer for art programs, Stull said.
Currently, HCC offers degrees in music, music education, theater, visual arts and visual arts education, Crawford said.
Stull said new visual and performing arts course offerings might be ready for the fall of 2012.

Hi there. I'm attempting to make some cabinets for my closet. I was wondering if someone might take a look at the drawing I made up and let me know if I'm on the right track.
This drawing is for a 3 drawer cabinet that will be on the floor. It will be made out of 3/4" oak ply with solid oak facing.
I do know the bottom dado is in the wrong position. I also know the facing dimentions might be incorrect, I also haven't figured out the deminsions for the drawers so I havn't included those yet.
I'm doing a 3/8" x 3/8" rabbet to secure the top. I will rabbet both the top and sides for increased strength.
here's the drawing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/12661965@N05/4114504591/
thanks for looking

Valentine's Day is the day of love, but is love the missing link in modern happiness? Consider:
Longevity, education, and standards of living have all risen spectacularly in the United States in recent decades -- and yet so has depression, which is 10 times more common today than 40 years ago. Since John Kenneth Galbraith wrote his salutation to the American achievement of permanent prosperity, "The Affluent Society," in 1957, real income for the typical American has almost tripled. Yet the percentage of Americans who describe themselves as "happy" in the long-running National Opinion Research Center has not budged in the same period. We can all think of other examples of people being discontent, stressed, or even flat-out miserable when, by physical circumstances at least, life seems pretty darn good for the majority of Americans.
What's going on here? Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini, and Richard Lannon think they can offer a scientific answer to that question. All three are M.D.'s and academic psychiatrists. They think the melancholy of contemporary society originates in the limbic brain, the part that controls emotions, affection, and play. The limbic brain gets too little attention in modern life, while the neocortex, the part that controls abstract thought, gets too much. We need more human contact, more emotion, and more play, they think -- for reasons of cell structure, brain chemistry, and evolutionary biology as much as for sheer satisfaction. Most specifically, they think human beings were designed to love, and in modern life aren't doing that enough.
An overlooked 2000 book by the three, "A General Theory of Love," lays out the scientific evidence that our hearts need as much attention as our heads. A General Theory of Love isn't a cute how-to or the kind of Seven Simple Steps to Finding True Love Effortlessly in 30 Seconds volume that lands authors on midmorning talk shows. It is a carefully reasoned book, dealing mainly with the findings of serious research. But it is also heartfelt and important, a powerful work. "A General Theory of Love" goes a long way toward explaining why people can become better-off, safer, and healthier, yet less happy -- and what can be done to change that.
First, according to the authors -- all of whom teach at the University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine -- is the matter of how the understanding of emotion has developed scientifically. In 450 B.C.E., Hippocrates proposed that emotions emanate from the brain. That, the authors contend, was about all science had to say about the subject for the next 2,000 years. Descartes would declare self-awareness the essence of human existence, but his focus was on abstract thought rather than emotion. When Darwin was formulating his theory of natural selection, he was nagged by the thought that emotions must have evolved, too. His final work, published in 1872, proposed that emotions developed because they conferred a survival advantage.
This last idea from the greatest figure in biology was greeted coldly by successive generations of researchers, who preferred to view human feelings as trite weepiness: Fear might have evolved so that animals would flee danger, but emotions such as love or fellowship were irrelevant to survival and thus of no scientific interest. Freud tried to write off emotions entirely, as hooey stemming from repressed childhood sexuality.
Following Freud, the behaviorists who dominated several decades of psychology asserted that everything was a trained response. By roughly the 1960s, the scientific consensus held emotions to be trivial distractions, weaknesses in human design. The ideal person, according to the scientific consensus of the time, would be "Star Trek"'s Mr. Spock, intelligent and honorable but completely freed of emotion.
But then, say the authors of "A General Theory of Love," came serendipitous discoveries. Drugs developed to combat tuberculosis were observed to improve patients' moods; later, antidepressants were discovered, essentially by accident. "How does one square that," the authors ask, "with the supposed preeminence of repressed sexual urges as the cause of all matters emotional?" Researchers began to understand that parts of the human emotional structure are biological in origin, influenced by the chemistry of the brain.
While this may sound at first glance like depressing determinism ("chemicals make us love," etc.), to many attempting to fathom human psychology it was a liberating thought. If emotions are biologically seated within the brain, then they are real and central to human life, not just some weepy distraction. Moreover, if emotions partly arise from our biology, then emotions must have evolved -- just as Darwin guessed -- and if they evolved that means they must benefit us or they wouldn't have been favored by natural selection.
The idea that emotions are here because they are beneficial was a breakthrough for humanistic psychology and currently constitutes one of the liveliest areas for research.National Institutes of Health researcher Esther Sternberg recently devoted an excellent book to the hard-science evidence that positive emotions help regulate immune response, meaning good relationships with others literally improve health.

Mount Harmon Plantation originated as a land grant of 350 acres to Godfrey Harmon by Caecilius Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, in 1651. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Mount Harmon prospered as a tobacco plantation. As you drive down the two-mile lane, through the tunnel formed by Osage orange trees, you will appreciate the isolation of those times, when transportation moved most freely by water. Three of the owners during the period had their own schooners to transport tobacco to the British Isles and return with furnishings and necessities for the house and farm.
James Louttit, a Scotsman who bought Mount Harmon in 1760, called his schooner the "Bee". He, his Irish wife Mary George, and their descendants lived in Mount Harmon from 1760 to 1810. Their families' coats of arms are displayed on the gate posts. Subsequently, the plantation passed into another branch of the family.
In 1817, Mount Harmon became the property of Sidney George Fisher. He is known today for his copious diaries in which he describes society, plantation life and agriculture in the nineteenth century. Click here to read excerpts from Fisher's diaries. In 1927, at the death of his son, a historian who spelled his name Sydney George Fisher, Mount Harmon passed out of the family.
In 1963, Mrs. Harry Clark Boden, IV fulfilled a lifelong dream when she bought Mount Harmon. She hired Albert Kruse, AIA, restoration architect of the Court House in New Castle, Delaware, to restore the manor house to the period of 1760 – 1810 when her direct ancestors of the Louttit and George families lived there. Mount Harmon has been in the public domain since 1974 when Mrs. Boden donated it to a national preservation organization so that it would be maintained and opened to the public in the future. Thanks to these preservation efforts, Mount Harmon stands today as one of the region's finest examples of an 18th century Tidewater plantation.
In 1997, Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc. became the owners of Mount Harmon. Their mission is to preserve and interpret the plantation for the education and enjoyment of visitors. Preservation at Mount Harmon has created a lasting legacy of historic stewardship and education. Visitors to Mount Harmon learn about the lifestyle, culture, agriculture and trade of a Tidewater plantation and enjoy the pristine natural surroundings, little changed by time.
New Era of Preservation Stewardship
Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc. continue to work to preserve Mount Harmon, and to raise funds for ongoing restoration and preservation projects. Like all historic buildings that have seen more than 250 years of weather and activity, the plantation's restoration needs are ongoing.
FOMH has embarked on a Capital & Preservation Campaign to raise $250,000 to fund the plantation's restoration and capital improvement needs. You can help to preserve Mount Harmon by contributing to Mount Harmon's capital campaign. Of the $250,000 Capital Campaign goal, just over $175,000 has been raised to date. Thanks to grants and contributions from supporters like you, Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc. has been able to restore the exterior of the Manor House and the Colonial Kitchen, and convert the outdated pool into the new special event site at the plantation.
Grant funding has also made it possible to renovate the stables into our new Education & Discovery Center, which features a Mount Harmon Highlights in History Exhibit, expanded educational programming, and upgraded public facilities. FOMH is actively seeking additional funding to preserve and research the FOMH archives, restore the serpentine walled garden, make lane improvements, and build our operational capacity. Every donation makes a difference and helps to preserve Mount Harmon for you, your friends and family, and for future generations.
How You Can HelpThere is still time for you to help. Please contribute today and help to preserve this important historic and pristine natural site – every donation makes a difference and helps to preserve Mount Harmon for you, your friends and family, and for future generations. Contributions are tax deductible.
FOMH memberships are another great way to support Mount Harmon. We depend upon your annual membership contribution to help maintain and preserve Mount Harmon

The shubh muhurta has arrived. Bright yellow marigold flowers and typical shehnai music set the ambience. The ladies are more interested in comparing sarees. Relatives approach each other and become a bit too friendly. Mouthwatering aromas of mava pedas and food come from the backyard. Some guests are waiting for muhurta with handful of akshattas .
Just then the bride's Mama brings the bride to the mandap while everyone circles the couple. Groom is anxiously playing hide and seek, trying to take a sneak peek at his lovely bride, while the bride is standing shyly on other side of the Antarpatt. With the chanting of Mangalashtakas and showering of rice grains on them, the antarpatt disappears and garlands bond the couple into a new matrimony.

Retail Automated Transactive Energy System
How Does RATES Help Me?
How Does RATES Help the Utilities?
A Big Thank You!
Based on years of experience in the fields of energy management, automation, and IoT – and in conjunction with expertise provided by Dr. Cazalet (the father of Transactive Energy) through TeMix Inc., Universal Devices, Inc. proposed RATES as the response to California Energy Commission's Grant Funding Opportunity GFO 15-311/Group 2 Solutions That Allow Customers To Manage Their Energy Demand.
RATES proposal was approved by CEC in March of 2016 with the mission to implement and pilot test the complete solution in Southern California Edison Territory.
RATES is based on the premise that customers should be empowered with making decisions on their energy usage and all costs associated thereto. In order to achieve this goal, RATES proposes that customers subscribe to and pay for energy usage at regular intervals. ISY994 ZS Series, an autonomous, low cost, off-the-shelf, Smart Grid and IoT based Automation/Energy Management System is utilized to take customer preferences, sensory, Smart Meter/Inverter, DER: Solar(PV)/EV/Storage, Occupancy and Geo Fencing, and then applying a machine-learned tailor-made algorithm to either automatically shift load usage, or purchase additional energy (at spot prices) while excess energy is credited.
From a technical perspective, RATES seamlessly integrates Energy Management, Transactive Energy, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, IoT, and Automation.
How Does RATES Help Me?
RATES makes your home into a super-high-tech and intelligent abode. RATES is like a personal assistant that assists you in monitoring, controlling, and automating all aspects of your home's energy usage and even production (Solar/EV/Storage). It's totally up to you to decide whether or not you want more savings or more comfort on a per device basis. It's up to RATES to help you achieve your goals.
And, yes, you can use Amazon Echo and Google Home to command/control/query your devices. And, yes, you can remotely monitor and control all your devices, check your energy usage, and even get estimated cost from your mobile phone.
The following devices are supported:
– Almost all off-the-shelf Z-Wave or INSTEON Devices:
— Thermostats, Pool Pumps, Lighting, Multi Sensors, Door Locks, Energy Monitors, …
– Majority of Inverters
– All Smart Meters
– IPSO v1 Sensors
– Support for additional devices will be added as necessary
Now, don't forget to see whether or not you are eligible to join our pilot program, help promote a greener and cleaner California, while enjoying the future of energy services.
How Does RATES Help the Utilities?
Forward Transactions and Subscriptions with Spot Transactions:
– Subscribe at specific costs and quantity for each interval
– Easily automated using subscriptions, positions, and goals
– Buy more at spot prices if necessary
– Sell at spot prices if desired
– Shed/shift load and/or DER (PV/EV/Storage)
Two-way transport tariff
– Recovers more fixed costs at higher prices when circuit is more heavily loaded in either direction.
– Bill, revenue, and grid volatility issues with prices to devices (bids/offers)
– Recovery of both fixed and variable costs for all parties
– Simplified forecasting
– Completely does away with any type of measurement/verification, baselines, prepaid rebates/incentives and all the exorbitant associated operational/administrative costs that go with these activities
A Big Thank You!
First and foremost, our gratitude goes to CA tax/rate payers and CEC for the opportunity. In addition, Universal Devices, Inc. wishes to thank the following organizations for their initial and ongoing support of this revolutionary project:
Southern California Edison
OpenADR Alliance

Rare ECB move signals strange economic times
The European Central Bank has cut interest rates to record lows in a bid to prevent deflation. The negative interest rate of minus 0.1% - that is, charging commercial banks to park their surplus funds overnight - is perhaps the most striking element in this package.
Negative rates do happen now and then, but they are very rare and often a sign of some sort of financial or economic stress. That certainly applies in this case, where the eurozone economic recovery is unconvincing and risks being undermined by deflation or falling prices.
One source of weakness is declining bank loans to the private sector. The negative rate might encourage banks to lend more, because it doesn't apply to the reserves they are required to keep at the ECB. The more they lend, the bigger those requirements - and so the smaller the sum that will be subject to this negative rate.
Here's another way of looking at it: if banks want a comfort blanket of extra funds on deposit at the ECB, they will have to pay for it. And that is a potential problem. As it imposes a cost on them it might affect their profitability and they are still not in robust health.
In truth the impact of a negative deposit rate is uncertain, so proceeding with this move does underline the fact that the ECB is concerned enough to be ready to take some steps into the unknown.
There is another possible benefit from the negative deposit rate - and the other rate cuts. They could weaken the euro. When Denmark did much the same thing in 2012, the aim was to stop the currency rising - it is pegged to the euro, so when investors seeking refuge from the storms in the eurozone bought the Danish krone, it produced upward pressure on the currency that was unwelcome. The negative interest rate seems to have helped stabilise the krone.
In the case of the eurozone, a weaker euro would have two advantages. It would help exporters compete. It would also make imports more expensive. Normally that is an unwanted side-effect of a declining currency, but when inflation is too low that really is helpful. It just reminds us that we are (still) living in strange economic times.

Box Oklahoma City, OK FAA-S
8 PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS CONCEPT Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) specifies the areas in which knowledge and skill must be demonstrated by the applicant before the issuance of a private pilot certificate. The CFR's provide the flexibility to permit the FAA to publish practical test standards containing specific TASKS in which pilot competency must be demonstrated. The FAA will revise this book whenever it is determined that changes are needed in the interest of safety. Adherence to the provisions of the regulations and the practical test standards is mandatory for the evaluation of private pilot applicants. PRIVATE PILOT LIGHTER-THAN-AIR PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS BOOK DESCRIPTION This test book contains the following private pilot practical test standards: Section 1 Section 2 Lighter-Than-Air, Balloon Lighter-Than-Air, Airship The Private Pilot Lighter-Than-Air Practical Test Standards include the AREAS OF OPERATION and TASKS for the issuance of an initial private pilot certificate and for the addition of category and/or class ratings to that certificate. PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS DESCRIPTION AREAS OF OPERATION are phases of the practical test arranged in a logical sequence. They begin with preflight preparation and end with postflight procedures. The examiner, however, may conduct the practical test in any sequence that results in a complete and efficient test. The roman numerals preceding each AREA OF OPERATION relate that AREA OF OPERATION to the corresponding regulatory requirement. TASKS represent knowledge, flight procedures, and/or maneuvers appropriate to an AREA OF OPERATION. The REFERENCE identifies the publication(s) that describe(s) the TASK. Descriptions of TASKS are not included in the standards because this information can be found in the current issue of the listed reference. Publications other than those listed may be used, if their content conveys substantially the same meaning as the listed publications. FAA-S
9 Reference list: 14 CFR part 43 Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding, and Alteration 14 CFR part 61 Certification: Pilots and Flight Instructors 14 CFR part 67 Medical Standards and Certification 14 CFR part 91 General Operating and Flight Rules NTSB Part 830 Notification and Reporting of Aircraft Accidents and Incidents AC 00-2 Advisory Circular Checklist AC 00-6 Aviation Weather AC Aviation Weather Services AC Flight Training Handbook AC Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge AC Role of Preflight Preparation AC Cold Weather Operation of Aircraft AC Pilot's Weight and Balance Handbook AIM Aeronautical Information Manual AFD NOTAM's Airport Facility Directory Notices to Airmen Balloon Flight Manual Airship Flight Manual Industry Related Manuals The Objective lists the important elements that must be satisfactorily performed to demonstrate competency in a TASK. The Objective includes: 1. specifically what the applicant should be able to do; 2. the conditions under which the TASK is to be performed; and 3. the minimum acceptable standards of performance. 3 FAA-S
10 USE OF THE PRACTICAL TEST STANDARDS BOOK The FAA requires that all private pilot practical tests be conducted in accordance with the appropriate Private Pilot Practical Test Standards and the policies set forth in this INTRODUCTION. Private pilot applicants shall be evaluated in ALL TASKS included in the AREAS OF OPERATION of the appropriate practical test standard. In preparation for the practical test, the examiner shall develop a written plan of action. The plan of action shall include all TASKS in each AREA OF OPERATION. Each TASK selected shall be evaluated in its entirety. However, if the elements in one TASK have already been evaluated in another TASK, they need not be repeated. The examiner is not required to follow the precise order in which the AREAS OF OPERATION and TASKS appear in this book. The examiner may change the sequence or combine TASKS with similar Objectives to meet the orderly and efficient flow of the practical test. For example, a rectangular course may be combined with an airport traffic pattern or lost procedures may be combined with radio navigation. However, the Objectives of all TASKS must be demonstrated and evaluated at some time during the practical test. The examiner's plan of action shall include the order and combination of TASKS to be demonstrated by the applicant in a manner that will result in an efficient and valid test. Examiners shall place special emphasis upon areas of aircraft operation that are most critical to flight safety. Among these areas are precise aircraft control and sound judgment in decision making. Although these areas may or may not be shown under each TASK, they are essential to flight safety and shall receive careful evaluation throughout the practical test. THE EXAMINER SHALL ALSO EMPHASIZE WAKE TURBULENCE AVOIDANCE, LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR, IN-FLIGHT COLLISION AVOIDANCE, RUNWAY INCURSION AVOIDANCE, AND CHECKLIST USAGE. FAA-S
11 PRIVATE PILOT LIGHTER-THAN-AIR PRACTICAL TEST PREREQUISITES An applicant for the private pilot lighter-than-air practical test is required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations to: 1. pass the appropriate private pilot knowledge test since the beginning of the 24th month before the month in which the practical test is taken; 2. obtain the applicable instruction and aeronautical experience prescribed for the private pilot certificate or training sought; 3. hold at least a current third-class medical certificate issued under 14 CFR part 67; or posses a Medical Statement declaring that they have no known physical defect which makes them unable to pilot a free balloon; 4. meet the age requirement for the issuance of the certificate or rating sought; (16 years of age for the free balloon, 17 years of age for the airship), and; 5. obtain a written statement from an appropriately certificated flight instructor certifying that the applicant has been given flight instruction in preparation for the practical test within 60 days preceding the date of application. The statement shall also state that the instructor finds the applicant competent to pass the practical test and that the applicant has satisfactory knowledge of the subject area(s) in which a deficiency, if any, was indicated by the airman knowledge test report. NOTE: AC 61-65, Certification: Pilots and Flight Instructors, states that the instructor may sign the instructor s recommendation on the reverse side of FAA Form , Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application, in lieu of the previous statement, provided all appropriate 14 CFR part 61 requirements are substantiated by reliable records. AIRCRAFT AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR THE PRACTICAL TEST The private pilot applicant is required by 14 CFR section to provide an appropriate, airworthy, certificated aircraft for use during the practical test. The aircraft must be equipped for, and its operating limitations must not prohibit, the performance of all TASKS required on the test. 5 FAA-S
12 METRIC CONVERSION INITIATIVE To assist the pilots in understanding and using the metric measurement system, the practical test standards refer to the metric equivalent of various altitudes throughout. The inclusion of meters is intended to familiarize pilots with its use. The metric altimeter is arranged in 10 meter increments; therefore, when converting from feet to meters, the exact conversion, being too exact for practical purposes, is rounded to the nearest 10 meter increment or even altitude as necessary. POSITIVE EXCHANGE OF FLIGHT CONTROLS During the practical test, there must always be a clear understanding of who has control of the aircraft. Prior to the flight, a briefing should be conducted that includes the procedure for the exchange of flight controls. A positive three-step process in the exchange of flight controls between pilots is a proven procedure and one that is recommended. When the examiner wishes to take the controls to allow the applicant to adjust the seat, headset, etc., he/she will say I have the flight controls. The applicant will acknowledge immediately by saying, You have the flight controls. The examiner again says, I have the flight controls. When control is returned to the applicant, follow the same procedure. A visual check is recommended to verify that the exchange has occurred. There should never be any doubt as to who is flying the aircraft. USE OF DISTRACTIONS DURING PRACTICAL TESTS Numerous studies indicate that many accidents have occurred when the pilot has been distracted during critical phases of flight. To evaluate the pilot's ability to utilize proper control technique while dividing attention both inside and/or outside the cockpit, the examiner shall cause a realistic distraction during the flight portion of the practical test to evaluate the applicant's ability to divide attention while maintaining safe flight. APPLICANT'S USE OF CHECKLISTS Throughout the practical test, the applicant is evaluated on the use of the appropriate checklist. Its proper use is dependent on the specific TASK being evaluated. The situation may be such that the use of the checklist while accomplishing the elements of the Objective would be either unsafe or impractical, especially in a single-pilot operation. In this case, a review of the checklist after the elements have been accomplished, would be appropriate. Use of the checklist must consider proper scanning and division of attention at all times. FAA-S
13 CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (CRM) CRM...refers to the effective use of ALL available resources; human resources, hardware, and information. Human resources...includes all groups routinely working with the cockpit crew (or pilot) who are involved in decisions that are required to operate a flight safely. These groups include, dispatchers, cabin crewmembers, maintenance personnel, air traffic controllers, and weather services. CRM is not a single TASK, it is a set of knowledge and skill competencies that must be evident in all TASKS in this PTS as applied to either single pilot or a crew operation. MANUFACTURER S RECOMMENDATION The term recommended refers to the manufacturer s recommendation. If the manufacturer s recommendation is not available, the description in AC shall be used. FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RESPONSIBILITY An appropriately rated flight instructor is responsible for training the private pilot applicant to acceptable standards in all subject matter areas, procedures, and maneuvers included in the TASKS within the appropriate private pilot practical test standard. Because of the impact of their teaching activities in developing safe, proficient pilots, flight instructors should exhibit a high level of knowledge, skill, and ability. Additionally, the flight instructor must certify that the applicant is able to perform safely as a private pilot and is competent to pass the required practical test. Throughout the applicant's training, the flight instructor is responsible for emphasizing the performance of effective visual scanning, collision avoidance, and runway incursion avoidance procedures. 7 FAA-S
14 EXAMINER 1 RESPONSIBILITY The examiner conducting the practical test is responsible for determining that the applicant meets the acceptable standards of knowledge and skill of each TASK within the appropriate practical test standard. Since there is no formal division between the oral and skill portions of the practical test, this becomes an ongoing process throughout the test. To avoid unnecessary distractions, oral questioning should be used judiciously at all times, especially during the flight portion of the practical test. Examiners shall test to the greatest extent practicable the applicant's correlative abilities rather than mere rote enumeration of facts throughout the practical test. Throughout the flight portion of the practical test, the examiner shall evaluate the applicant's use of visual scanning and collision avoidance procedures. SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE Satisfactory performance to meet the requirements for certification is based on the applicant's ability to safely: 1. perform the approved AREAS OF OPERATION for the certificate or rating sought within the approved standards; 2. demonstrate mastery of the aircraft with the successful outcome of each task performed never seriously in doubt; 3. demonstrate sound judgment, aeronautical decision making, and skill competencies in CRM. UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE If, in the judgment of the examiner, the applicant does not meet the standards of performance of any TASK performed, the associated AREA OF OPERATION is failed and therefore, the practical test is failed. The examiner or applicant may discontinue the test any time after the failure of an AREA OF OPERATION makes the applicant ineligible for the certificate or rating sought. The test will be continued ONLY with the consent of the applicant. If the test is either continued or discontinued, the applicant is entitled credit for only those TASKS satisfactorily performed. However, during the retest and at the discretion of the examiner, any TASK may be re-evaluated including those previously passed. 1 The word examiner denotes either the FAA inspector or FAA designated pilot examiner who conducts the practical test. FAA-S
15 Typical areas of unsatisfactory performance and grounds for disqualification are: 1. Any action or lack of action by the applicant that requires corrective intervention by the examiner to maintain safe flight. 2. Failure to use proper and effective visual scanning techniques to clear the area before and while performing maneuvers. 3. Consistently exceeding tolerances stated in the Objectives. 4. Failure to take prompt corrective action when tolerances are exceeded. When a notice of disapproval is issued, the examiner will record the applicant's unsatisfactory performance in terms of AREA OF OPERATIONS and TASKS appropriate to the practical test conducted. 9 FAA-S

CESJ studies, teaches, promotes and applies the Just Third Way. Starting with the principles of economic and social justice, and the logic of binary economics, we can develop practical solutions to systemic problems at the enterprise, community, national and global level, empowering directly every man, woman and child with the means of acquiring productive capital as an independent source of income.
Building upon the ideals of the American Revolution — which was really a "New World" revolution to spread political democracy globally — CESJ works to change our basic social institutions to extend economic opportunity and power to every human being.
Going beyond the mere rhetoric of empowerment, CESJ has developed a common-sense, comprehensive plan — the Capital Homestead Act — to liberate every person economically. To build equity with efficiency at the workplace, CESJ has developed a management system for corporations of the 21st Century known as "Justice-Based Management."
To address today's problems and to pursue our purpose and goals, CESJ delivers educational, research and social action programs aimed at:
• CESJ's 5-year Strategic Plan to enact the Capital Homestead Act for growing a sustainable and just economy, and universalizing citizen access to capital ownership (click here>>)
• CESJ's Four-Pronged Communications Strategy for winning the "war of ideas" and guiding the world to the Just Third Way (click here>>)

So you thought the Miss America beauty pageant and those bathing-suit strolls in Atlantic City were all part of America's traditional values?
Not at all, said Sharlene Wells, Miss America 1985, who strolled through the Palm Beach In-ter-na-tion-al Airport Wednesday wearing leather boots and a bright blue outfit.
"I'm like 80 percent of the people in America," she said. "I thought (the pageant) was sexist . . . .
"I grew up with a football and a soccer ball. I didn't want to have anything to do with it until I found out how much scholarship money was involved."
Wells received $40,000 in scholarship money for winning the title.
She is probably most famous for being the Miss America crowned in the pageant following the nude-photograph scandal of Vanessa Williams, former Miss America 1984.
Wells said she hasn't tried to change the image of the 63-year-old pageant, which last July was rocked with the revelation that photographs of Williams posing in the nude with another woman were to be pub-lished in Penthouse magazine. Williams was asked to resign 10 months into her reign.
Wells has been traveling through-out the country since she was crowned in September. "I've just tried to be myself. I don't think the pageant has any set image anyway," she said.
Wells is a 5-foot-8, 120-pound strawberry blonde and a junior at Brigham Young University.
In the pageant, she played the Latin American classical harp and sang Paraguayan folk songs. She also plays the piano, trumpet and guitar.
Wells will be at the Hyatt Hotel in West Palm Beach today for the opening program of the 1985 Palm Beach Round Table.
