Sholing and Alresford book semi-final spots
11:13pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in Non League By Wendy Gee, Non-league football reporter
THE semi-final line-up for the Hampshire FA Senior Cup is complete with Sholing and Alresford Town joining AFC Totton and AFC Bournemouth in the last four.
Dave Diaper's Sholing bounced back from behind to stun Conference South outfit Havant & Waterlooville 3-1 at the Silverlake Arena, while Alresford edged the all-Wessex tie against GE Hamble 1-0 thanks to Zach Glasspool's 19th goal of the season.
The decider arrived on 30 minutes when Warren Bentley delivered from the right and Glasspool planted a left-foot shot into the bottom corner.
Hamble pressed hard but were denied by a man-of-the-match display from Alresford keeper Steve Phillips. To compound their misery, the Planemakers had Liam Crook red-carded for a reckless challenge on Simon Everett late on.
Steve Ramsey gave Havant a 12th-minute lead at Sholing only to see it wiped out two minutes later when Byron Mason headed the Boatmen level.
Pete Castle bundled home Kev Brewster's free-kick to make it 2-1 on 36 minutes and Barry Mason crowned victory five minutes from time, volleying home brother Bryon's cross.
It was Sholing's seventh win out of seven in 2013 and they will be gunning for an eighth tonight at Frome Town in the Red Insure Cup.

In November 2010, Joe Debro sent the Bay View a 200-page "book" he wrote in 1968 on racism in construction. His family has generously agreed that it be published in the Bay View. To begin, here is the prolog he wrote in 2010 to update it. In 1968, three of us undertook a study of the manpower implications of small business financing. In 2010, 42 years later, not much has changed.
January 13, 2010
In response to "Why are no Blacks working?" by Bay Area Black Builders President Joseph Debro that appeared in print and online in the SF Bay View, Tom Owens, a high level official with the AFL-CIO Construction Trades Department, sent the following message via email to Debro. Debro's emailed rebuttal follows.

You have a chance to hang out with Evansville Police Officers Tuesday morning, in an informal setting.
"Coffee With A Cop" is a new community relations program for the Evansville Police Department.
Tuesday is the second event, at the Donut Bank on St. Joseph Avenue.
"Coffee With A Cop" is the newest community relations program for the police department.
"Coffee With A Cop" starts at 7 a.m. and will last about two hours.
Last month's event was so successful, they actually stuck around much later than expected.
They had a great turnout.
Officials tell us the goal of "Coffee With A Cop" is to provide a stress free environment for people to talk to the police department about things going on in our community, especially any public safety issues you might have.
The police department has partnered with Donut Bank, so they will host these once a month at various donut bank locations.
The public is invited, even if you don't have a concern, you're encouraged to stop by and say hi.
Keep in mind there's no presentation, no agenda, just coffee and conversation.

April will be a big month for democracy, as elections take place in India, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Hungary, Indonesia, Algeria and Iraq – countries with total electorates of more than one billion people. In particular, the upcoming elections in India and Indonesia promise to be momentous, with more than 1 billion eligible voters, more than 1.5 million electronic voting machines and more than a million polling stations in India alone. In the video above, we asked TIME's International Editor Bobby Ghosh for a preview of what we should know about the upcoming elections in the two countries.
4 Key Takeaways from New Census Data
Population growth and migratory patterns show a changing nation.
U.S. Census population figures released Thursday provide a glimpse of the nation's hot (and cold) spots.
In a three-year span from mid-2010 to mid-2013, the U.S. had a natural population increase of 4.7 million people (that is, the number of births minus the number of deaths). Coupled with a net migration increase of some 2.7 million people, the country's population jumped 7.4 million to an estimated 316 million.
Not all metro areas are growing at the same clip, however. Some are pulling ahead by drawing more immigrants or by luring residents of other regions with the promise job opportunities.
Which are the boomtowns? That depends on how you filter the data, but here are the highlights:
North Dakota metros surge
The state's oil boom has bolstered some metro areas by double-digit percent growth. With a 31% population increase, Williston, N.D., beat out all U.S. metros by percent change. Nearby, the Dickinson, N.D., metro area grew 16%. All other U.S. metro areas fell in line thereafter.
"Any time before 2008, North Dakota had out-migration decade after decade," says Kevin Iverson, Manager of North Dakota Census office. "People were leaving for economic opportunities outside the state." But more recently, he says, the oil industry has bolstered both population and per-capita income in the western regions of the state. In the last three years, he adds, 38 of the state's 53 counties have grown. Roughly half of the influx is from Minnesota.
Puerto Rico falls behind Where are residents moving away? Four of the ten U.S. metro areas with the greatest population losses (by number of people) are in Puerto Rico. Some of the population decline is attributed to lower birth rates on the island. But the more significant loss stems from a battered economy and pervasive crime – two factors that push out professionals, students and middle-class families to mainland states like Florida and Texas.
Texas draws a crowd Slice population data by migration (who's moving in, domestically or internationally) and Texas metros top the charts. By total net migration, the Houston area drew some 205,000 people. Dallas came in third and Austin fifth among all U.S. metro areas. While foreign immigrants have bolstered the Lone Star state's headcount, U.S. residents from all over the country – lured by job opportunities and lower taxes – have contributed to the surge.
Big metro areas stay on top By sheer influx of people, Houston, Dallas, New York, Los Angeles and Washington top the charts. Seven metro areas netted more than 200,000 people. San Francisco, Seattle and Phoenix, among others, also saw six-digit growth in the last three years.
10 Fastest Growing Cities
Whether it's an oil boom or an influx of tech jobs, the populations of these 10 cities grew faster than in any other major metro area between July 2012 and July 2013, according to data from the Census Bureau.
AustinPopulation: 1.9 million
% gain: 2.6%
New residents: 47,941
A thriving university town with one of the best live music scenes in the country, Austin's youthful, creative vibe keeps people coming.
With it's more than 250 live music venues and festivals like its famed South by Southwest (or SXSW) Austin's "cultural vibrancy helps to drive the economy in a big way," said demographer Ryan Robinson.
Another driver: Jobs.
Austin's massive University of Texas, with its 50,000-plus enrollment, is known for its engineering and computer science programs, which have spawned many local tech businesses and incubators. It has also attracted a number of big tech companies — Apple APPLE INC. AAPL 0.686% , Google GOOGLE INC. GOOG -0.0377% , Facebook FACEBOOK INC. FB -0.0389% , Intel INTEL CORP. INTC -0.5974% — looking to recruit young talent.
In January, the city's unemployment rate fell to 4.7%, the lowest of any metro area with a population of one million or more.
HoustonPopulation: 6.3 million
% gain: 2.2%
New residents: 137,782
Oil and gas have long kept Houston humming. Butthese days — with oil prices hovering around $100 a barrel — the city is booming.
"The recent oil surge going on in Texas is generating major job gains," said Ray Perryman, a regional economist and founder of The Perryman Group.
But it's not just the energy sector that's hiring. A major port city, Houston is also home to several manufacturing, transportation, aerospace and medical research companies as well.
Newcomers will find homes affordable, too: The median home price in Houston is about $195,000, about $10,000 less than the national median.
Raleigh, N.C.Population: 1.2 million
% gain: 2.2%
New residents: 26,012
Along with the cities of Durham and Chapel Hill, Raleigh forms North Carolina's Research Triangle, an area rich with tech companies and universities including Duke, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State.
The universities are not only among the area's largest employers, but they also "add to the local quality of life by providing access to excellent healthcare, arts and sports," said Harvey Schmitt, CEO of the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.
And in recent years, hiring has really picked up. In January, the unemployment rate was 5.5%, down nearly two percentage points from a year earlier.
Companies have plenty to entice new recruits with: Housing is affordable, only about 10% higher than the national norm, while incomes are nearly 20% higher.
Orlando, Fla.Population: 2.3 million
% gain : 2%
New residents: 44,390
Mickey Mouse is making a comeback.
Orlando attracted 57 million visitors last year, up from 43 million in 2009.
Yet while nearly one-third of the area's jobs are tied to the tourism industry, other industries are expanding here too, namely tech.
The city is a leader in the growing field of modeling and simulation. It's also a major industrial site with Lockheed MartinLOCKHEED MARTIN CORP. LMT 0.1028% , General DynamicsGENERAL DYNAMICS CORP. GD 0.3315% and Siemens all running production lines there.
And with median home prices of around $155,000, nearly every working family can afford to buy a home.
San Antonio
Population: 2.3 million
% gain : 1.9%
New residents: 43,056
San Antonio's economy is still riding high thanks, in part, to the oil boom. Valero Energy VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION VLO 0.6354% , one of the nation's largest oil companies, is based here, as are a handful of other oil and energy services firms like Tesoro Corp TESORO CORPORATION TSO 0.9378% . and NuStar Energy NUSTAR ENERGY L.P. NS -0.1985% .
The local economy, though, is still well diversified, with healthcare, tourism, financial services and call centers major sources of jobs. And Joint Base San Antonio, one of the largest military installations in the country, hosts 80,000 residents and trains some 130,000 military personnel a year.

In January, the metro area unemployment rate was 5.4%, more than a percentage point below the national average.
San Antonio is also a young city, which is also helping to boost the local population, said Lloyd Potter of the Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research University of Texas at San Antonio. "We have fewer deaths because we're young and more births as well," he said.
Population: 2.7 million
% gain : 1.9%
New residents: 50,782
Great skiing, biking and hiking are just some of the reasons people flock to the Mile-High City.
"People see Colorado as a place for opportunity," said state demographer Elizabeth Garner. And when they arrive, it's not too hard to find one.
Area employment grew nearly 3% in 2013 thanks to hiring in sectors such as mining and energy, construction, professional and business services, and education and healthcare services, according to Denver's Metro Area Economic Development Corporation. Some of the area's biggest employers include Halliburton HALLIBURTON CO. HAL -1.0243% , Comcast COMCAST CORP 5% PRF USD25 CCV -0.0781% and CenturyLink CENTURYLINK INC CTL -0.33% .
And while unemployment is still just a few ticks lower than the national average, it's improving fast. In January, the unemployment rate fell to 6.4% from 7.8% the year before.
Home prices, at a median of $259,000, aren't exactly cheap, but they are affordable relative to median family income of nearly $78,000.
Nashville, Tenn.Population: 1.8 million
% gain : 1.8%

A thriving music industry, a host of big healthcare employers and a burgeoning start-up scene have made Nashville a hotspot for several years.
The city's famed Music Row, with its record companies, music publishers, clubs and guitar shops, is where some of the city's 20,000 music industry jobs can be found.
Yet, many more of the area's residents work in the much less-glitzy field of healthcare.
"About half of all the for-profit hospital beds in the country are administered from Nashville," said Matthew Wiltshire, head of Nashville's department of economic and community development. "Healthcare is a $30 billion industry here."
Another big attraction: the reasonable cost of living, which is 14% less than the national average, according to Wiltshire.
Charlotte, N.C.Population: 2.3 million
% gain : 1.8%
New residents: 40,368
The second biggest banking center in the country behind New York, Charlotte is home toBank of America BANK OF AMERICA CORP. BAC -0.0928% , and hosts offices for Citi CITIGROUP INC. C -0.0881% , Ally Financial , JPMorgan Chase JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. JPM 0.1111% and Wells Fargo WELLS FARGO & CO. WFC -0.1365% .
And new jobs are being created, many through spin-offs of these financial behemoths, said John Connaughton, Babson Capital Professor of Economics at University of North Carolina Charlotte.

He said many former employees of the big banks have founded financial consulting firms and other small financial services businesses.
But don't think that the area is solely about suits and money. NASCAR has multiple offices in the area as well.
Oklahoma CityPopulation: 1.3 million

New residents: 22,280
Like many cities in Texas and North Dakota, Oklahoma City is also in the midst of an oil boom.
The expansion of horizontal drilling and fracking has made it possible to tap into vast reserves that remained untouched before — meaning lots of oil money and lots of jobs.
"As the amount of drilling goes up, demand for services, like finishing off well heads, laying pipeline and cleaning up site, increases as well," said Don Hackler, public information officer with the state's Commerce Department.
As a result, people are flocking to the area to find work: The greater Oklahoma City has seen its population grow by more than 5% since the 2010 Census.
And so far, there appears to be almost enough jobs for everyone. In January, the metro area unemployment rate was just 5%, a full two percentage points below the national rate.
PhoenixPopulation: 4.4 million
% gain : 1.6%
New residents: 71,130
Phoenix is starting to rise from the ashes of the housing bust.
After being one of the hardest hit cities during the foreclosure crisis, home prices have come roaring back. Construction workers idled during the housing bust are back at work rehabbing foreclosed homes and other distressed properties so they can be put back on the market or rented out.
Other jobs are coming back, too, in industries like renewable energy, aerospace, bio-med and business services, according to the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. And recentlyApple APPLE INC. AAPL 0.6761% announced it would build a plant in nearby Mesa that would employ more than 2,000 workers.
Still, unemployment remains relatively high. In January, the unemployment rate was 6.7% — about on par with the national level — and about 0.8 percentage points lower than last year.
Five Questions with DuPont CEO Ellen Kullman
DuPont has long been known as a chemical company, but Kullman is shifting the 211-year-old corporation towards innovation and agriculture
There's never a bad time to be named CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but when Ellen Kullman took over the 211-year-old DuPont at the beginning of 2009, things could have been better. The global economy was tanking, sales were dropping and the future was hazy. Fast forward five years later, though, and DuPont is surging. Kullman has transitioned the company away from some of its traditional fields—including the performance chemicals business, best known for its nonstick frying pans and paints—and towards higher growth sectors in high-tech agriculture and nutrition. That shift has worked so far—last month DuPont announced that its fourth-quarter profits had doubled on the back of brisk sales of high-tech seeds and pesticides. I spoke recently with Kullman about the changes at one of America's iconic companies, the global demographic shifts driving them and the big business of feeding the world's 7 billion-plus people
TIME: You have been spinning off some business, investing in new ones. How do you see the company changing and what is driving those changes?
Kullman: I started right in the midst of the global financial crisis, so volumes were falling, and the world was not a very secure place. That gave me an opportunity to reflect on the portfolio, to reflect on how science was making a difference for us, how we were connecting to the market. We evolved to a strategy that is focused on science, and ag and nutrition, extending our advanced materials area and then really bringing to life areas like industrial biosciences that I was engaged in over a decade ago.
(MORE: Industrial Farming Slows Climate Change?)
The more I travel around the globe, the more I'm convinced that this strategy is going to lead to higher growth, higher value, greater shareholder value, because of the amount of change that is going on in the world today. We started in sustainability 20 years ago. That's three CEOs ago. Basically then it was all about footprint reduction. You think about it now with the stressors on the world, sustainability is really important for the future of civilization, if you think about the climate, if you think about food and energy. And we think science can play a huge role in solving some of these problems, in a way that creates shareholder value. We're much more energy efficient today than we were a decade ago, and we saved billions of dollars by not spending it on energy. But more importantly we can help airframe manufacturers lighten their vehicles or planes, and get higher efficiency out of the energy they're using. We can help farmers utilize water much more efficiently, like through our AquaMax product, to increase yields in water stressed conditions
TIME: When it comes to ag and science and technology, and especially when it comes to biotech, you see different levels of public acceptance in different countries. How do you deal with the concern people might have for the impacts of bioscience agriculture, which is so basic to human life?
Kullman: I'm believe that countries and people make choices for themselves about what science they accept or don't accept. And it should be fact based, so they understand [the science] and make those decisions. We as a company need to be relevant whether they choose to utilize the technology or not. I believe in the science. When you think about GMOs, I spend a lot of time on them, and I understand them. But I understand that my telling people on faith may not carry the day. They need to see it, understand it, [and we need to] arm them with facts, educate them, and let them make their choices.
We have a large business in agriculture in non-GMO seed in Europe [where GMO technology is less accepted]. We'll be relevant there, regardless of the technology choices they make. We'll ensure that they have the right studies and tests done to help that.
TIME: How do you deal with the differing regulation on this issue around the world, on biotech and on things like biofuel, where policy has a big impact on how the business grows?
Kullman: We are operating in an increasingly regulated world. We would certainly love to see a more harmonized regulatory environment around the world, to see that getting something approved in India is the same as getting it approved in America or China. That's just more efficient. But I do think that we do have to participate in the process from a regulatory standpoint. We workwith different governments around the world to share information and to inform them, so when they consider laws and regulations, they do so from a standpoint of data and information that helps them make the right decision.
(MORE: Can Urban Beekeeping Stop the Beepocalypse?)
TIME: Within agriculture, you mentioned this enormous demand coming from parts of the developing world, and this yield gap, between what farms can do in Iowa versus farms in places like eastern Europe or sub-Saharan Africa. Is the aim eventually that farming in those parts of the world will come to resemble farming in America, or will there still be regional differences?
Kullman: Food is phenomenally local, and there are cultural differences that you have to comprehend. We need a common language, because people talk about this area in so many different ways. In the fall I was in an area in northeast China, above North Korea, part of the corn belt there. You drive along a road and you're seeing an area that looks damn close to what you might find in the rolling hills [of Iowa], and then you find out the corn is all hand sown and hand harvested. That each farmer owns or gets the ability to farm a certain number of mous—about a tenth of an acre. And you go sit with a farmer or a family and you talk about farming, and they're doing pretty well under their historic methodology in farming that is very labor intensive. But they know that has to change, and they know they need to mechanize. And that is very different there than what you'd find in India, or in Tanzania. It will always be different, but there's a big gap that can be crossed from a productivity standpoint in agriculture that shouldn't be lost on us. And I think it creates huge economic opportunity in places like sub-Saharan Africa, as farmers go from subsistence farming to farming with an income.
TIME: You mentioned sustainability as a big part of what you do. That word has a lot of different meaning for a lot of different people. When you say sustainability, what does it mean? Is it just efficiency or does it go beyond that?
Kullman: Sustainable means selecting for a long time, so [what you produce] can withstand the rigors of the world, while allowing the environment to continue to be plentiful and grow. I think that whole area is evolving greatly, and as the regulatory environment changes, people become concerned about how the future looks, and the part that each of us plays. There's real opportunity. Think about cellulosic biofuels. First generation biofuels are in use, but what's really sustainable are second or third generation biofuels that utilize plant waste and things like that. This is an area that is not just something to do to create real value for our customers and for our company going forward. We don't have all the answers but I think there's a lot of opportunity there.

Staffing Multiskill Call Centers via Linear Programming and Simulation
AbstractWe study an iterative cutting-plane algorithm on an integer program for minimizing the staffing costs of a multiskill call center subject to service-level requirements that are estimated by simulation. We solve a sample average version of the problem, where the service levels are expressed as functions of the staffing for a fixed sequence of random numbers driving the simulation. An optimal solution of this sample problem is also an optimal solution to the original problem when the sample size is large enough. Several difficulties are encountered when solving the sample problem, especially for large problem instances, and we propose practical heuristics to deal with these difficulties. We report numerical experiments with examples of different sizes. The largest example corresponds to a real-life call center with 65 types of calls and 89 types of agents (skill groups).

(CNN) -- No sooner had the tiara been placed atop her head than a barrage of racist tweets flooded the Internet.
"If you're #Miss America you should have to be American," said one.
"WHEN WILL A WHITE WOMAN WIN #MISSAMERICA? Ever??!!" screamed another.
Nina Davuluri is American. She just happens to be of Indian descent. In fact, she's the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America.
But the tweets that followed the 2014 pageant in Atlantic City on Sunday night didn't focus on how it's the second consecutive year that a Miss New York has taken the crown, or about the judge's questions (including ones about Miley Cyrus and Syria).
They were about Davuluri's heritage.
"Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must've made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote," vented one person.
Not that it bears pointing out, but Davuluri's not a Muslim -- and the president didn't have a vote.
The 24-year-old Davuluri, who's from Syracuse, competed on a platform of "Celebrating Diversity through Cultural Competency." For the talent portion, she performed a classical Indian dance fused with Bollywood moves.
Being a trailblazer isn't easy. When Rima Fakih was crowned Miss USA in 2010, she faced a nasty backlash as well. Fakih is of Lebanese descent, and many were quick to try to link her to the militant group Hezbollah.
In Davuluri's case, many tweeters wasted no time connecting her to terrorism.
"Miss America right now or miss Al Qaeda?" tweeted Shannon McCann.
Others invoked the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Yes, really.
For her part, Davuluri didn't immediately respond.
But many, turned off by the reaction, turned off Twitter and turned in for the night.
But there were plenty who came to her defense.
And finally, there were those who tweeted variations on "Deal with it!"
Well said, Mariah, well said.

My wife and I will be in Italy for 10 nights in May. Arriving in Rome and thinking that first 3 nights in Rome would be good plan (have been there before) and probably our last night also in Rome for convenience to airport. Looking at Amalfi Coast/Sorrento area and thinking that four nights would seem about right to do there. Wondering if that does sound right; and if that leaves two other nights what might be options from Amalfi area?? Also wondering in going to Amalfi/Sorrento whether a car is desirable; or if train/bus travel may be the best bet.
Italy - Rome and Amalfi Coast help
8 Replies | Jump to last reply |

See if you can fly into Naples and start south and end in Rome. Forget the car in May.
Report Abuse
May should be very nice in Rome and the Amalfi coast! If it were me, I'd spend several nights in Sorrento - visit Pompeii, Naples, and then go down the coast by bus, boat or driver to see Positano / Amalfi / Ravello. Then I'd go to Capri for two or three nights for a few days of hiking / Blue Grotto etc. You can do Capri as a day trip but it's nice to spend a few nights there to enjoy it when the day trippers have gone.
Report Abuse
We have been to the Amalfi coast twice in late May and having a car made the trip much easier. From our hotel in Sorrento we were able to drive to Pompeii, Naples and down the coast road (and up from a return trip to Pompeii) which we found very enjoyable. And from Sorrento we took the hydrofoil to Capri. (By mid/late May the hotels should have pools open and sea swimming is possible.
Unless you have been to Rome before I would spend more time there - perhaps both before and after time on the Amalfi coast. But if you do rent a car be sure your hotel has parking (very few do) or they can arrange parking for you.
Report Abuse
Four nights seems to me a bit short for the Amalfi Coast area, though it really depends on what you want to see and experience. If you include Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Salerno, and Paestum, then closer to a week would be better.
Report Abuse
I agree with Bob that you should fly into Naples and home from Rome. To me it is easier to recover from jetlag when in a place like the Amalfi Coast, as there is sun and you are walking around alot.
If you want to see Pompeii, Naples, etc., then you could divide your 6 days between Sorrento and a town on the Amalfi Coast. Note that Sorrento is about 45 minutes away from, but not on, the Amalfi Coast.
For the Amalfi Coast, Positano is always my choice, as IMO it is the most picturesque of the AC villages and has great transportation option, so you can see Amalfi/Ravello, Capri and Salerno as day trips via ferry.
I would NOT have a car on the AC in May, as it is already quite crowded by then and parking is scarce and expensive. It may be fine in Sorrento, but really no need there either, with the Circumvesuviana train.
Report Abuse
I third the idea of not having a car, for all the reasons mentioned and also that if you're not accustomed to driving the roads on the AC, it's not a lot of fun. The into-Naples and out-of-Rome plan would work well.
Report Abuse
Why not head to Amalfi immediately upon landing in Rome? Usually arrival day is a bit of wasted day anyway, so may as well press on through. Then you could have four uninterrupted days in Rome at the end of your trip, saving a travel day.
Report Abuse
We're planning a similar trip, also in May, just a bit longer, with more time in Rome because it will be our first time there. We are flying into Rome and out of Naples, would that work for you?
<< and if that leaves two other nights what might be options from Amalfi area??
I guess it depends on your interests, but either a couple of days on Capri or a couple of days in Naples (if interested in Pompeii) sound good. FWIW, we are spending our last 2 days in Naples...and we are not going to have a car.
Have a great trip!

Reviewed by: kgrayIncredibly light weight and water resistant. I am 6' tall, 225 lbs. so use this tent as a single person. It works fantastic for that. On the PCT its light weight, toughness, and roominess for one make up for a less-than-perfect vestibule. It took me a few trips to figure out and truly bond with this tent, but now I think it is a good a tent as the best of my other equipment. And I have some top-of-the-line stuff!

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Originally written in 1970 as an Advisory Circular and last updated in 1999, this new FAA-H-8083-30 handbook replaces AC 65-9A and reflects current operating procedures, regulations, and equipment.
This book was developed as the first of a series of handbooks for persons preparing for mechanic certification with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both — those seeking an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Certificate, also called an A&P license. An effective text for both students and instructors, this handbook will also serve as an invaluable reference guide for current technicians who wish to improve their knowledge.
This edition contains information on mathematics, aircraft drawings, weight and balance, aircraft materials, processes and tools, physics, electricity, inspection, ground operations, and FAA regulations governing the certification and work of maintenance technicians. New to this edition is a section addressing how successful AMTs incorporate knowledge and awareness of ethics, professionalism, and human factors in the field.
The text is a cooperative effort of the FAA and ASA, written by industry experts experienced in AMT education and practice. Includes colored charts, tables, full-color illustrations and photographs throughout, and an extensive glossary and index.

FallenI am falling.Falling so fast,Falling so hard.Falling from everything I know.Everything I am.The wind flowing through my wings,Tearing me apart,Piece by piece.When the earth and I collide,My immortality will be gone.Just a mere mortal.Just a mere human.My wings are almost gone,I am almost a man.A being with flesh and bone.My heart is broken,Broken beyond repair.I feel it bleeding.I have shamed my goddess,Jealousy was my downfall.She opened me into her heart,And now she shuns me.So I am falling.Falling to my death,And my new life...
Shadow in the nightI hear you creep,I hear you sneak.Footsteps behind me!A shadow sweeps across the empty lot.My heart beats franticly in my chest,As I quicken my pace.The fear takes over,As a twig snaps!Just a bump in the night I tell myself.But I know better.I feel his eyes on me!His gaze of death.His skin as ice,The grin of a madman!I have encountered this monster before.Not even human enough to be a man.His eyes like flamed daggers!Digging into my flesh!A scream escapes my lips,As I meet his gaze.My skin crawls,And I become ice cold,As he draws closer.I cannot think! I cannot move!The end has come,The end of hope.The end of dreams,The end of life.Innocence has lost once more,I think as darkness surrounds me.
Things that go bump in the nightSitting in my room,As darkness creeps.Shadows slither.My fears increase,As a noise comes forth!A bump in the night,The wood creeks,As my closet door sneaks.My nerves are raw,As I see him.The blackness flows freely,Like smoke, throughout my room.As the man, the monster,Comes for me.He comes to steal me.I cannot scream!I cannot breath.I am frozen with fear.He comes closer,The smokes getting thicker.I know I must run,I know I must scream,I know I must do something.Something to get him away!He is only feet away now.His eyes are like fire!They burn my skin!I feel his hot breath on my face,It smells like rancid death.My fear is turning.As my courage builds,My fear turns to anger!How dare HE try to steal me!How dare HE try to capture my soul!He is nothing but my creation!As the smoke surrounds us,I let my anger loose!I let all my anger out into a loud,Pissed off,Shrill, scream!My eyes closed,My anger gone.I shiver,My skin has Goosebumps.I am breathi
Is it love?I'm standing here, watching you watch me.In the moonlight.You step towards me,I step back.I see your true form, the moonlight dancing on your pale skin.The wind blowing strongly around us.I see regret in those deep blue eyes, and realizeI've hurt you.As I see those blue eyes look away,I step in and take you in a tight embrace.You hesitate for only a moment, as you hug me in tight.I feel your warm breath on my neck,The gentle scrape of your fangs...yet.I am not afraid.Is this love?The smell of blood hits me.Blood from a man that was trying to hurt me.You saved me.I am not afraid.It starts to rain, drenching us both.Yet I am not cold.Your warmth, warms me throughout my body.As I look at you now I see the boy,And I also see a man.As I release my embrace, I take your hand in mine.Yes I think this is love.That thought was the only thing on my mind as we walked homeHand in hand, smiling like both are dreams just came true.
I gave you my heart...I gave you my love and you spit in my face.I don't know why my love is so strong,I don't know why I overlook all your flaws.Why do you give me that look?That look that gets me every time.My heart is broken, shattered, ripped apart.Yet when you walk through that door,I fall apart.I hate how you make me feel,And I hate what you do.But when you walk through that door,I want to run to you....
StalkerShe was so beautiful,From her plum purple hair,Her silky cream skin,Her blue eyes,Down to the black nail polish she was wearing.Her smile was so lovely,I needed to have her.That's when my obsession started.I needed to touch her,To taste her.She will be mine.I planned it perfectly.She will be mine tonight,Ill take her in the night.That's what I thought.I would take her away,She would be all mine.Just her and me,Us forever,But things don't always turn out like it should.I snuck into her house,Making little noise.She was in her bed,Sleeping,dreaming,living.As I woke her to take her away,she screamed.As I put my hand over her mouth,She fought, and bit me.I didn't mean to hit her,I didn't mean to grab that nail file,Sitting on her desk.She was almost to the door,When I grabbed her hair and pulled.She fell to the floor,With me on top of her.That's when the file entered her chest.There was so much blood,Dripping from her.Like a scarlet river,As I pulled t
Zoey (my baby sister)So small,So precious.So beautiful,So brave.So full of life,And only a few days old.We hardly know each other,But the love I feel is unconditional.The bond between sisters is unbreakable.I love you so much,And I pray that you'll be alright,For every dream I have,I kiss you goodnight,A sisters love is full of delight.I love you Zoey Marie Williams.
AnimalsAnimals, what can I say?They are our shoulder to cry on,Our companions,The only one who can truly understand us.They rely on us for everything.Food, shelter, and most of all, love.How can anyone harm such beautiful creachers?People can beat,starve, and torcher their pets,And yet....thier Love is still there.Unconditional.Animals are amazing.
Slender manSlender man, oh slender man?Where art thou my Slender man?Keeper of night, taker of day.The Slender man awaits.His tendrils slip,His fingers drip,He takes the life of whom he likes,And disappears before the light.Slender man, oh Slender man?Where art thou my Slender man?Your fear will only feed him,As he comes for you children,Stalking, testing, waiting.The Slender man will come for you,Just wait and see.He'll slip into your room tonight.Slender man, oh Slender man?Where art thou my Slender man?Oh there he is,Hiding in the darkness,Go look and see.Fall asleep, he won't hurt you.(Hush that was a lie)Sleep tight tonight,Have dreams so bright,For the Slender man comes,To end your life.

The Fallen OneI see a fallen angel without any wing,falling behind in a foolish comedy.Lunging for life, revenge, and passion,feeling his self shattered in repression.This fallen angel has got long brown hair,ending in a curl, like a circle of death.He is destroying his soul with grief,but winner or loser, he will see the defeat.This fallen angel has lost his kindness,he is surrendering every day at the claw of madness.A torture, he says, when they recall his past,the truth is that his fear is the chance being the last.A fallen angel whose rancor leads to doom,a guilty one, sealed inside a loop.When he fell from his god's sight,he promised himself revenge on the light.Now that fallen angel, writing those words,accepts his fate as rejected from god.That fallen angel is spreading new black wings,and is smiling to a world embracing his life.

Tei is home for just a few days before heading to Paris for two more weeks working a lot of computers and projectors and sound things I don't understand for "In Paris—A Play," the crazy Russian play he is touring with Baryshnikov.
To welcome him home after a very eventful six weeks at Peebottle, I fed him some home-grown things. First, Shishito peppers, blistered on the stove and then drizzled with sesame oil and soy sauce (on a plate I made myself, FYI). A couple of them were hotter than they should be, which means I should have snipped them earlier, but they were delish. Then we had a chicken leg Thai curry with lots of basil from the garden and "eggy rice," with our own eggs.
