Like what I saw for the slope soaring program, for the most part. Should be achievable by begginer to intermediate pilots. Really like the limbo but confused by what a meter is
My understanding of the down wind landing is that you are flying your approach with the wind, instead of into it. Makes the landing speed greater and therefor much harder to slow the plane down. Not sure the merit in this though. I can do down wind spot landings with my combat wing and just plow it in with no harm. Doesn't really help me develop skills though for flying something nicer. Other method is to bring it in hot and low, then pull up to bleed off as much energy as possible before hand catching. Hurts when you get it wrong. My better slope planes pretty much get landed 100% into the wind. Too big to try and catch coming in hot and too expensive to risk a high speed down wind landing.
Part of me is wondering if they are really talking about the landing style that is basically coming in with the wind and at the last second flipping the sailplane around and pancaking to the ground but facing into the wind.

One additional comment on the slope tasks, in particular aerobatics. It says to perform a knife edge for a certain distance. This particular task is limiting in that you really need something with a rudder. Most slope planes don't have rudders until you get up to the bigger ones. Not a problem for me but will be for those that only have combat wings or planks.
Done knife edge flight many time's with my little Chinese Fox with only aileron and elevator. the trick is get 100/200 feet above you,fly a fast 180 degree turn behind you. as you fly in a gental dive over yourself, pull up into a 20 degree or so climb. When you hit the strongest part of the lift,snap onto one wing tip and use elevator to hold your position. With enuff speed and good lift, a very gental knife edge arc is flown for several meter's.
This will work for 4 point roll's and the like as well.
Sorry to hear about the field Joe. Hopefully a new site can be found by spring.

Guess it all depends on your definition of a Knife edge. I like the IMAC when it comes to aerobatics. They would consider a perfect knife edge to be parallel to the runway (hill in this case) and level.
I now have a Suraci (60" slope aerobat) that will be perfect for these tasks but not everyone is so lucky.
Hey you guys, get a life. If you want to fly a knife edge according to CIAM rules then don't waste your time here, go and do competition flying. This is a proficency grade and designed for "inexperienced" flyers to work towards a proficiency rating and as long as they can produce what in general approximates the required manoevre, it is acceptable. Later proficencies can have more difficult conditions placed on them.
As far as downwind landings are concerned once again this is a proficency to be demonstrated. Certain fields and certain conditions do require downwind landings. So in order to be prepared for this eventuality, this proficency is included.
Hope this clears the air a bit !!

elcoba, doesn't clear it up at all but thanks for your understanding and nice delivery. In case you haven't noticed I have been trying to actually help this effort out by making sure tasks were clear and concise. What you presented for the slope has elements that are neither to a newbie. Don't assume that because you and your buddies know what you are talking about that everyone else does.
So answer these very specific questions.
What is the definition of a knife edge flight for the program? Is it as simple as aeajr suggests with a wing simply 90 degrees to the ground? Does it have to be in a straight line or can you be pulling like in a turn? Parallel to the slope, perpendicular to the slope, or does direction matter?
What is the definition of a down wind landing? Is it landing with the wind instead of into it? Or is it simply landing at a spot that is downwind of where you are at?
Remember that I am experienced and it wasn't clear. I also fly other aircraft and design real ones. The same term can mean different things to different people.
Elcoba: Don't be so defensive. Corsha is right here. Believe me, if it's not spelled out the e-mails flow. Down wind landing to me is self-explanitory but believe me it won't be. His point is valid. Also, just because this is a sportsman's program don't think that we will have sub-par standards. I will not call something a loop just because it goes over the top. It has to be some what round, start and stop reasonably close to the same point, etc. There has to be a "standard of exeptable excellence" so to speak.
************************************************** *****************************I've been staying quiet for almost a week to see how things go and to get some stuff taken care of at home. Today I sat down and really took a look at the proposal from elcoba and his guys. In all honesty, it wasn't far off of what we had originally aerobatically. Here's where I'll catch a lot of flack not being a sloper and all. To me it looks a bit, well, easy. It looks to be something do-able in very short order or am I missing something here? TD and slope may be apples and oranges but the concept of the program is the same. They must at least closely require the same amount of effort per level. If I had a slope around here (and the health to climb it ) I would choose the slope side hands down. I'm not putting down you and your guys efforts, I apreciate them. It's just too light for me. I'm curious also as to where you guys will go with the harder levels. Is it going to lean towards aerobatics, time, ladders? How do you propose to make it more difficult?

While we are on the subject of language, may I suggest that the use of initials(toowidespread these days), when the phrase has not been spelled out early in the text so that it can be referred too, is not very helpful to newcomers to your hobby. Please refrain from this practice in the rules of this sport program.It took me some time to catch on that TD meant Thermal Duration!
(A) = aerobatic
(L) = level
(TD) = thermal duration
There will be a change to the way difficulties are described. The terms "basic, intermediate and advanced" are gone. They will now be described using "levels" (L1, L2, etc) This had to be done because we've now split the program up and it was confusing the old way. This should make life easier.
I was not thrilled to say the least to have to re-write the program from the second level forward. I was feeling good that we about had the program complete. Now this has caused us to have to start almost from scratch. Not to mention, I have to now re-write the requirements as well. Then re-write the web page. I only agreed as it looks to benefit the program. At least I hope it does, as this is a real pain to say the least. Ok, enough whining on my part. We did not agree with the difficulty level of the slope stuff compared to the TD side, so we beefed it up a bit. Nothing severe. We will be doing the same with the next level if we deem it necessary so that it more closely relates to the TD (thermal duration) side work load wise. The G&R is now for either TD or slope. I have not changed the requirements on the website yet. In fact they're not done yet. The things to be defined are the (L) and (A) requirements. They will simply be the aerobatic moves and time, landing requirements for the task sets. Don't get excited, they're not a huge deal to figure out. It just makes it easier to fit on the forms. If we were to list the whole requirement for a task for each item it wouldn't fit on a page. Listing it as (L) and (A) then referring you to the requirement pages makes life easier and less cluttered.
The program will eventually be three parts. The "this or that" main program. Then an advanced TD and an advanced slope part. We have gathered information, ideas, suggestions and done trials for 10 months now. It's time to finish the program layout and leave it be. My goal is still the end of the month if I can keep in touch with Joe enough to get his approval on stuff. At that point, it's my opinion, that it should be left alone. I've enclosed a preliminary copy of the Bronze level to show where we're at. Don't print it, as it will not be any good until the final release. Anyone working on Bronze that has questions should contact me so we can get you taken care of. We apologize for the inconvienience it may have caused you making these changes. However, the majority spoke and once again we listened. That being said, IMHO, the time for talk and research is over. It's time for action. It's time to finish this up and let it fly or die. The Advanced TD part will be done in short order. I'm not sure about the Advanced Slope part. We'll have to let you know at a later date.

I was in the subway waiting for the train and I bought a botle of water from the station vendor there. I gave him a $10 billl for the $1 bottle of water and when he told me he didn't have change, I BALLED MY EYES OUT. I'm talking crazy lady, snot dripping hysterics.

REGION: SANDAG, groups reach settlement
Lawsuit over regional transportation plan avoided
A regional planning agency has agreed to try to accelerate completion of a second track on the North County coast and consider expanding the role of public transit the next time it writes a long-range blueprint for transportation projects in 2011, according to a settlement.
The San Diego Association of Governments, in a settlement reached with environmental, housing and transit advocacy groups, also agreed to considering giving priority for TransNet "smart growth" grants to development projects served by trains and buses.
The association earlier reserved a portion of TransNet sales tax money for compact housing developments that are considered smart because they require less land than traditional homes and are built next to job centers.
Also in the settlement, the association agreed to pay the groups $74,250 to cover their legal fees. The organizations include Save Our Forest and Ranchlands, Affordable Housing Coalition of San Diego County, Citizens for Responsible Equitable Environmental Development and San Diego Public-Transit Riders' Alliance.
Signed a week ago by attorneys and top officials representing the groups, the settlement averted a lawsuit they had threatened to file over the latest regional transportation plan.
As a prelude to such a suit, the groups had filed a claim under the California Environmental Quality Act, alleging the environmental analysis prepared for the plan was inadequate. Had a lawsuit been successful, the association could have been ordered back to the drawing board to write a new plan. Such plans must be updated every four years in order for the region to qualify for federal transportation funding. The last update was done in 2003.
Adopted last year, that $57 billion blueprint calls for finishing the ongoing work on Interstate 15 in Escondido and Rancho Bernardo, expanding Interstate 5 through North County and adding car-pool lanes to Highway 78, among other things.
Encinitas attorney Marco Gonzalez, who represented Save Our Forest and Ranchlands, said the threat stemmed from what he termed the association's failure to develop a plan to curb greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. The state attorney general cited similar concerns in a November letter.
"We're building an infrastructure and a plan here that is totally unprepared to deal with the future," said Duncan McFetridge, president of Save Our Forest and Ranchlands, in suggesting that soaring oil prices and global warming ultimately will force people to drive less.
"I think our settlement is historic because it guides us toward a transit future," McFetridge said, in a telephone interview Tuesday.
McFetridge was one of the signatories.
Through the settlement, the association did not concede it made mistakes in setting priorities for building roads, railways and bus lines over the next two decades. And although the plan would increase the number of lane miles on area freeways by 38 percent, the agency stressed most of those are being designed to carry car pools and buses.
"We still think our plan's a good plan, on balance," said Gary Gallegos, association executive director and another signatory.
Still, the association agreed to study whether it is practical to raise transit's profile in San Diego County, as a way to get at the problem of greenhouse gas emissions. That, Gallegos said, will give the association a "jump-start" on writing the next plan, due out in 2011.

Lead researcher Joseph Robinson agreed that these findings help validate what people have believed to be true.
"This suggests that chances are, things will get better," said Robinson, an assistant professor of educational psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "We've been giving kids a message of hope, and this is showing that's not a false hope."
But the continuing disparity between gay and heterosexual young men is concerning, Robinson said. "For straight males, bullying gets better a lot quicker -- which is great news for them. But we'd like to see the same improvement for gay and bisexual males."
The picture may be worse for young men because society is generally less accepting of men being gay or bisexual, Robinson noted. "Men, in particular, just can't deviate from gender norms," he said. "That's what society expects."
The findings are based on a national sample of 4,135 school kids in England who were interviewed annually over seven years. Of these, 187 (almost 5 percent) identified themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual.
Besides asking about bullying, the study also looked at kids' "emotional distress" levels -- how often they felt depressed, anxious or unhappy.
In general, gay and bisexual young people had more distress, and bullying in school appeared to explain about half of the disparity. Both Robinson and Mustanski said that suggests that anti-bullying efforts could make a big difference in young people's mental health.
Right now, some schools have anti-bullying policies that specifically ban bullying based on sexual orientation. Some have gay-straight student alliances, which aim to fight homophobia. But not all schools have programs like that.
Parents can go a long way in helping, Robinson said. "Hopefully, parents are being supportive and have an open line of communication with their kids." But, he added, stopping bullies, and their effects, sh

Accounts Payable: Find and Fix Overlooked Internal Control Issues
Brought to you by CFO Learning
|Available Now
|Available Now
|1 hour
|Online $199.00
Well-run accounts payable (AP) operations are very cost effective. They don't get this way by cutting corners or taking shortcuts. Generally speaking, these organizations have implemented strong internal controls across the procure-to-pay chain. They do this by paying close attention to every last detail. We have designed this Webcast to help you achieve the very same results.
Join AP best practices expert Mary Schaeffer for this Webcast, during which she divides the procure-to-pay process into its three basic parts -- before the invoice enters the system; processing the invoice and making the payment; and after the invoice is paid. Mary will also address the individual controls needed for each stage of the process, which is important because most companies only focus on the middle part, missing a number of opportunities to strengthen controls and eliminate problems that make a dent in the bottom line. Mary will also show Webcast participants how to take advantage of creating controls that work across the entire AP spectrum.
After this Webcast you will be able to:
- Identify the best control practices for the entire procure-to-pay process;
- Evaluate your own processes to identify weak controls that need tightening;
- Fix the questionable controls so fraud and erroneous payments don't sneak through; and
- Introduce practices that are often overlooked yet strengthen controls.
This Webcast no longer offers the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit. We invite you to stay tuned to CFO.com for future Webcasts that will offer attendees opportunities to earn CPE credit.
For inquiries or complaints concerning this Webcast, please call (212) 488-4708.

CRICKET / Visitor's top-order gets going on a dead track; rain washes out final session
Fernando is sure to miss the Galle game
Mubarak has made just 18 runs in three innings
COLOMBO: The pitch at the Sinhalese Sports Club is a travesty, a curse from another age, an invitation to any captain to play for a draw and totally out of character in an era when draws are rarer than peace-loving politicians. One day perhaps it will be ripped up and a proper pitch prepared on which bowlers can expect to get results. Let's face it if Muttiah Muralitharan cannot bowl more than one batsman out on the fifth day there must be something far wrong.
Michael Vaughan stood in the rain that completed the England fightback by stopping play after tea when a draw was already the only result and said it was the most comfortable draw of his 20 in 72 Tests with England stretching back to 1999. Conditions were conducive to batting on all five days, he said.
The only bowler who can be congratulated is England's swing merchant Matthew Hoggard who found a back injury at just the right moment. He expects to be back at Galle where as a result of the tsunami three years ago the pitch is sure to be an offence to anyone using a bat and where the third and final Test is likely to be over soon after it starts.
Classy Vaughan
Even though Vaughan, who looks to be in the form that gave him three centuries in Australia in the 2002-03 Ashes series, managed to get out caught and bowled to the injured paceman Dilhara Fernando, and where Alastair Cook was caught off Chamara Silva, a modest bowler with much to be modest about.
Ian Bell was out — Murali's only success in 27 overs — to a half hearted shot so that he has again thrown away the chance to prove he can notch up an important score in a key game after an impressive start.
By the time the storms came England had a lead of 53, Murali's grin of triumph had become more artificial by the over and the Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene was ready to admit that he batted so long on the fourth day because he thought the match was heading for draw.
Did he care? Probably not since a 1-0 lead in a three-Test series is a guarantee for a good night's sleep for any Test skipper.
Time to recall Dilshan
His players will not all drift off to dreamland so easily.
Fernando is due for a knee operation before Christmas which means he is sure to miss the Galle game and unless the selectors replace the huge Jehan Mubarak with that Tillakaratne Dilshan in Galle, 500 letter writers to the local newspapers will have heart attacks. So far Mubarak has made 18 runs in three innings and bowled a single over which may be why I have seen Vaughan shake his hand in a most jovial fashion more than once.
England will toy with the idea of playing Graeme Swann, its second spinner in Galle, but it will probably be a step too adventurous for a country brought up to believe that three seamers are an essential base to every good team. It would sooner open the batting with Monty Panesar and Monty Python than risk the ridicule that would come from every corner of county cricket if it lost while fielding two spinners.
Still who is to say England is wrong when it can draw a match like this played on a pitch built for the home side. Although even the Sri Lankans will agree there is nothing wrong with it that could not be put right by a plough and a ton of explosive.

"Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)" is a single performed by Ashlee Simpson, the first from her third album Bittersweet World, produced by Timbaland, King Logan and Jerome Harmon.
On November 13 2007, Simpson told MTV News at CosmoGIRL!'s Born to Lead Awards that the album was completed and that it would be released in March 2008, with its first single, "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)", to be released in January. She described "Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)" as a "fun, dancey song" with "a little bit of an '80s feel" and said that it was about all of the people in her life. She said that the video would be filmed in December. In December, speaking about the song, she referred to the need to "have your own creativity and place" away from others and how those other voices and opinions can lead to a feeling of frustration: "At the end of the day you're like 'Ahhh! Everybody stop!'".
The song officially premiered on AOL Music on November 30, and it was digitally released on December 11. Simpson's website announced on January 23 2008 that an "Outta My Head" digital EP, including "Outta My Head" and two other songs, would be released on February 5.
Directed by Alan Ferguson, Simpson filmed the music video for the song over about 48 hours on December 6–7. The desert scenes were filmed on the first day in Acton, California, while the indoor straitjacket scene was filmed on the second day in Burbank, California. Kenna, a co-writer of the song, played a reporter in the video.
In an interview with Billboard, she described the video as having surrealist influences, mentioning Salvador Dali and Being John Malkovich. Her boyfriend (now husband) Pete Wentz described it as "probably the weirdest video I've seen of hers" and said that it, like the song, "has this kind of multiple personality". The video for the single premiered on December 19, and Simpson appeared on the December 20 episode of MTV's Total Request Live for the video's premiere on the show.
The video begins with Simpson lying on a couch in therapy; her therapist, apparently based on Sigmund Freud, has fallen asleep. Soon the walls of the office melt away into a surreal desert landscape (including a Dalí-esque melting clock), where another, dark-haired version of Simpson sits atop a floating Rubik's Cube and the giant head of a statue in Simpson's likeness lies on the ground. There are also frequent flashes of Simpson on the couch in therapy again, this time in the desert rather than the office. Simpson is pursued by people but trips and falls to the ground. Afterwards she listens to a recording and begins singing along, but soon she is surrounded by interviewers, photographers (one of them having a camera for a head), and autograph-seekers, and she faints. When she awakes, she finds she has been tied up by tiny people; when she breaks free, she again awakes, this time in a bedroom. The bedroom wall is rolled away to reveal a studio set where another version of Simpson is singing and dancing in a robotic manner, similarly to the MV of Kylie Minogue "Wow". As the real Simpson watches from her bed, where an interviewer appears and begins asking her questions, the robot Simpson eventually malfunctions and begins to explode, falling to the ground. Simpson tries to escape from this scene, fighting off interviewers and cameramen, but is captured by doctors from a mental institution and taken away in an ambulance. In her room, Simpson, now in a straitjacket, finds herself again surrounded by interviewers and cameramen; this time she bounces off the walls and spins around in the air as the video ends.
Simpson described the video as being "ambitious" and "like an art piece" and said that it involves going into "another world and never know[ing] what's real".
The "Outta My Head" music video had been streamed over two million times as of March 2008. By early September, the video had been viewed more than five million times on YouTube.
A video featuring Dave Aude Remix, was released in Asia.

On the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, "Outta My Head" debuted at number 30 and then rose to number sixteen in its second week in based solely on downloads. The video was named as cable music station Channel V's "Ripe Clip of The Week".
"Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)" is Simpson's first single in the United Kingdom since "Boyfriend" in early 2006.

Good and evil, clean and unclean, rich and poor, self and other. The nature and function of such binary oppositions have long intrigued scholars in such fields as philosophy, linguistics, classics, and anthropology. From the opening chapters of Genesis, in which God separates day from night, and Adam and Eve partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, dyadic pairs proliferate throughout the Hebrew Bible. In this groundbreaking work melding critical exegesis and contemporary theory, Saul M. Olyan considers the prevalence of polarities in biblical discourse and expounds their significance for the social and religious institutions of ancient Israel. Extant biblical narrative and legal texts reveal a set of socially constructed and culturally privileged binary oppositions, Olyan argues, which instigate and perpetuate hierarchical social relations in ritual settings such as the sanctuary.
Focusing on four binary pairs--holy/common, Israelite/alien, clean/unclean, and whole/blemished--Olyan shows how these privileged oppositions were used to restrict access to cultic spaces, such as the temple or the Passover table. These ritual sites, therefore, became the primary contexts for creating and recreating unequal social relations. Olyan also uncovers a pattern of challenge to the established hierarchies by nonprivileged groups. Converging with contemporary issues of power, marginalization, and privileging, Olyan's painstaking yet lucid study abounds with implications for anthropology, classics, critical theory, and feminist studies.

How to Become a Pediatric Patient Care Assistant
Research the requirements to become a pediatric patient care assistant. Learn about the job description, and read the step-by-step process to start a career as a patient care assistant in pediatrics.
Do I Want to Be a Pediatric Patient Care Assistant?
Pediatric patient care assistants are nursing assistants who work with children. Working in the healthcare industry, pediatric patient care assistants should have a desire to help others and be able to work effectively with nurses and physicians. This occupation may be physically demanding, with the need to lift and move patients. Some individuals may find working with ill or challenged children on a regular basis to be difficult and stressful. Others might find the experience of helping young patients to be rewarding.
Job Requirements
Most employers require a high school diploma or its equivalent as minimum education, but some may prefer employees who have completed certification through a nursing assistant program. The following table shows the common requirements for becoming a pediatric patient care assistant:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|None; high school diploma or equivalent is sufficient*
|Licensure and/or Certification
|Optional certification as a nursing assistant*
|None needed (entry-level)*
|Key Skills
|Communication**, attention to detail*, critical thinking**
|Computer Skills
|Office software**, medical record software**, e-mail software**
|Technical Skills
|Use of basic medical monitoring equipment*
Sources: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, **O*Net OnLine.
Step 1: Earn a High School Diploma or the Equivalent
A high school diploma or GED is the minimum educational requirement for pediatric patient care assistants. Volunteer experience at a hospital or medical facility would be beneficial. High school courses in keyboarding, science and computers can also help prospective assistants prepare for the medical field.
Step 2: Consider a Nursing Assistant Program
Although a nursing assistant program is not a requirement for this field, many community colleges and vocational schools offer this program, which may result in a certificate or diploma. Programs typically cover the basics of assisting with patient care, including simple health monitoring tasks such as blood pressure and pulse. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification is usually a requirement prior to graduation.
Success Tip:
- Seek voluntary certification. While not required, obtaining a certification demonstrates knowledge of the field and may lead to a higher-paying or more distinguished job. Certification requirements vary from state to state, but generally involve completing a nursing assistant program and registration with a state board.
