Models whose gliding surfaces are made of flexible materials (e.g. plastic film or cloth) are prohibited from this event. The purpose of this competition is to achieve the longest flight duration time. 36.2 An entry that descends with parachute and/or streamer recovery device(s) permanently attached to the gliding portion of the model shall be disqualified. However, other portions of an entry may deploy parachutes and/or streamers for recovery purposes. (If the glider entry accidently rips the motor pod's recovery streamer and the streamer attaches itself to the glider, the entry may be qualified depending on the RSO ruling that the entry still glided and was not disqualified for other reasons) 36.3 This competition is divided into classes based on the permissible total impulse of the motor(s).

I seem to be stuck however, on I WISH that RockSim had a scaling feature, but putting outboard pods on the fins (a la the Super it doesn't. I'm attaching the Excel spreadsheet that I Vega). I plan to make it easy on myself and put them use for scaling models.

How do I get body tube sizes across the top, it automatically Rocksim to do this? calculates the scale factor and the new dimension for Barry each object. Just select the closest size body tube and round the other dimensions to the nearest 1/16 inch or so.

Launch fee relief was discussed. In light of our healthy bottom line the following changes in our launch fee structure were all passed: 1. Flyers 17 and under will pay no launch fee. It was felt that the $2 fee contributes very little to the club's bottom line but could be an impediment to flying for a younger person. As we want to do everything possible to encourage kids to fly it was decided there would be no launch fee for this age group. Annual membership for an individual teen or 13 and under w/o parent will remain at $6. 2. Same day single launch fee remains at $5. 11 NAR Model Rocket Safety Code Revision of February, 2001 1. Materials. I will use only lightweight, non-metal parts for the nose, body, and fins of my rocket. 2. Motors. I will use only certified, commercially-made model rocket motors, and will not tamper with these motors or use them for any purposes except those recommended by the manufacturer. 3. Ignition System. I will launch my rockets with an electrical launch system and electrical motor igniters. My launch system will have a safety interlock in series with the launch switch, and will use a launch switch that returns to the "off" position when released. 4. Misfires. If my rocket does not launch when I press the button of my electrical launch system, I will remove the launcher's safety interlock or disconnect its battery, and will wait 60 seconds after the last launch attempt before allowing anyone to approach the rocket. 5. Launch Safety. I will use a countdown before launch, and will ensure that everyone is paying attention and is a safe distance of at least 15 feet away when I launch rockets with D motors or smaller, and 30 feet when I launch larger rockets. If I am uncertain about the safety or stability of an untested rocket, I will check the stability before flight and will fly it only after warning spectators and clearing them away to a safe distance. 6. Launcher. I will launch my rocket from a launch rod, tower, or rail that is pointed to within 30 degrees of the vertical to ensure that the rocket flies nearly straight up, and I will use a blast deflector to prevent the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground. To prevent accidental eye injury, I will place launchers so that the end of the launch rod is above eye level or will cap the end of the rod when it is not in use. 7. Size. My model rocket will not weigh more than 1,500 grams (53 ounces) at liftoff and will not contain more than 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of propellant or 320 N-sec (71.9 pound-seconds) of total impulse. If my model rocket weighs more than one pound (453 grams) at liftoff or has more than four ounces (113 grams) of propellant, I will check and comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations before flying. 8. Flight Safety. I will not launch my rocket at targets, into clouds, or near airplanes, and will not put any flammable or explosive payload in my rocket. 9. Launch Site. I will launch my rocket outdoors, in an open area at least as large as shown in the accompanying table, and in safe weather conditions with wind speeds no greater than 20 miles per hour. I will ensure that there is no dry grass close to the launch pad, and that the launch site does not present risk of grass fires. 10. Recovery System. I will use a recovery system such as a streamer or parachute in my rocket so that it returns safely and undamaged and can be flown again, and I will use only flame-resistant or fireproof recovery system wadding in my rocket. 11. Recovery Safety. I will not attempt to recover my rocket from power lines, tall trees, or other dangerous places.

OSSINING, N.Y. – A group of Ossining students are using LEGOS and computers for more than just fun and games.
The group of middle school students known as Team STUBBY is using the building blocks and computer engineering to assist senior citizens and compete in Saturday's FIRST LEGO League Competition in Elmsford. The FLL is an annual competition that introduces students aged 8 to 14 to science and technology skills using LEGOS to solve problems through research, engineering and building robots.
While the Ossining School District sponsors a team at AMD Middle School, a handful of Ossining parents helped create team STUBBY so that home schooled, private school and other public school students in Ossining also had a team. Coach Dan Slavin said he got involved after learning about the program last year and realized it would be a way to teach kids engineering skills using computers rather than video games or other electronic methods.
"The idea was to try to do something productive with computers rather than just playing games," he said. "We pooled our resources and last year they advanced from the qualifying competition. I think they're going to do very well but they seem to have a lot of fun with it too."
Slavin said he believes the kids joining the program will be miles ahead of other students if they decide to go into engineering.
"I believe that programming is like a language and the sooner you learn a language the more successful your chances are of mastering it," he said. "My first programming courses were in college so I think it's terrific to get middle school students going and get them that much more experience at a younger age."
AMD student Daniel Zhu, 12, said he joined the team last year to have more fun learning programming with his friends.
"We were all friends and we liked LEGOS and we heard about LEGO robotics and FLL and we thought it would be fun to try," he said. "I think it's a lot of fun to build the robots and see what kinds of things you can program them to do. We were already friends who already loved LEGOS and computers so we made a team to see what we could do and it's been really fun."

Stephen Baldwin has a new Web site, you guys! It's called "The Restoration of Stephen Baldwin" and it is just too much. The basic premise is that Stephen Baldwin has decided he is Job, as in, the Book of Job. We know this because Baldwin introduces the site with the following mission statement: "Everyone knows that God restored Job, but do they understand the mechanism of his restoration? Job was restored by the people. By 'All Who Knew Him'. This website was created to see a rebirth of that mechanism."
See, according to Stephen Baldwin, Stephen Baldwin has been denied jobs and the financial remuneration that typically accompanies employment because he has been so vocal about his faith, which, in case you didn't know, is that of Christianity! "He has been publicly ridiculed and insulted by people who think that he has been abandoned by God," he writes, using the always endearing (and business savvy!) third person. Examples of said persecution, according to the persecuted, include comments like "this sucks for him," "why doesn't God just pay his mortgage payments?," and the stinging "he's such a loser and it's so sad." Here's one more, from us: It's not entirely clear whether Baldwin has even read the Book of Job.
Anyway, do not hesitate to "be part of a historic movement of God that will literally rock the nation." Donate/pray/but mostly just donate today!

Alpine teachers' salaries to be cut
Alpine teachers on average earn $72,318 per year in salary in 2013-14, Pellegrino said. Teachers in the district rank third highest of 13 comparable school districts in total compensation, he said, and the average "total cost for teachers" is $94,180, a figure that includes wages, health benefits, mandatory contributions to retirement, Medicare, workers compensation and unemployment.
The district, Pellegrino said, spent $1.7 million on health benefits last school year from its $14.2 million operating budget.
Guy said that out of 43 San Diego County districts, Alpine teachers "are next to last in salary," and that Alpine teachers have made salary concessions over the past several years, including accepting salary cuts in the early 2000s "under the promise that doing so would protect health care — benefits the district is trying to slash now."
Guy said that during the 2009-10 school year, Alpine teachers "not only shouldered cuts totaling 4.73 percent, but also accepted cutting the school year to 178 days, with additional resultant loss of pay" and that several years ago, Alpine teachers accepted "doubling their health insurance co-pays."
In the district's negotiations and budget update from May it was noted that school board, superintendent, management, site principals and confidential employees are taking a 7.73 percent reduction in salary and had a $8,000 cap placed on district contributions to health benefit premiums effective July 1, 2013, mirroring the written offer to Alpine Teachers' Association and California School Employees Association.
"We have taken unilateral action to avoid a certain bankruptcy in the future," Pellegrino said. "The action has significant negative effects on all employees, including members of ATA. We recognize their frustration with this action, and we are hoping that they understand the severity of the crisis we are facing and support us as we work to establish financial stability in an era of declining resources."
Based on current contract language, the district would be bankrupt early next school year, Pellegrino said, and noted that the chief business official for San Diego County Schools, Lora Duzyk, told the board she agreed with their conclusions, Duzyk stated that the district "must make long-term changes to salary and benefits to survive the ongoing effects of the reductions to education funding and declining enrollment. "

Publisher's Description
It comes from God and it is within your reach ... The applause of heaven.
A joy that can't be quenched? A peace that can't be broken? A happiness that can't be threatened?
There is such a joy. It is a sacred delight, a holy gladness. You can't open your Bible without reading about it. You can't live a truly satisfying life without it. And it's nearer than you think.
Jesus describes that sacred delight in the astonishing mountain message we now call the Beatitudes. And Max Lucado, in this classic exploration of enduring joy, shows you how this familiar but revolutionary prescription for living can bless your life beyond your wildest imagining.
Imagine God doing what gods would do only in your wildest dreams -- wearing diapers, riding donkeys, washing feet, dozing in storms -- dying for you mistakes. Imagine having God as your pinch-hitter, you lawyer, your dad, you biggest fan, and you best friend. Imagine having the King of kings in your cheering section and hearing the applause of heaven ring out ... just for you.
But don't just imagine it. Open your heart to it -- the heavenly joy of knowing the God who delights in you.
Author Bio
More than 120 million readers have been inspired by the words of Max Lucado. He lives with his wife, Denalyn, and their mischievous mutt, Andy, in San Antonio, Texas, where he serves the people of Oak Hills Church.
