NAR Model Rocket Safety Code - 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.
Congratulations to Challenger Junior Member Matthew Stephenson for being awarded a Blue Ribbon and winning the Gold Medal for the 2nd Grade Physical Sciences division at the 2010 Brazoria County Science Fair for his project: NOSE CONES AT WORK. Matthew attended numerous launches and conducted rigorous scientific experiments utilizing a Blue Ninja model rocket and various nose cones of differing sizes and shapes to obtain his results.
Way to go Matthew! Everyone involved with Challenger is very proud of you and happy to hear of your outstanding accomplishment. Keep up the good work!

The Joomla Core Team consists of volunteer developers, designers, administrators and managers who, together with a large range of Work Groups of dedicated community members have taken Joomla to new heights in its relatively short life. This well-oiled machine is often copied but never surpassed. Joomla has some wonderfully talented people taking Open Source concepts to the forefront of industry standards. Joomla 1.5 is a major leap forward and represents the most exciting Joomla release in the history of the project.
The Joomla! team has about 1 million good reasons to be smiling about the Joomla! 1.5. In its current incarnation, it's had more than 1 million downloads, taking it to an unprecedented level of popularity. The new code base is almost an entire re-factor of the old code base. The user experience is still extremely slick but for developers the API is a dream. A proper framework for real PHP architects seeking the best of the best.
If you're a former Mambo User or a 1.0 series Joomla! User, 1.5 is the future of CMSs for a number of reasons. It's more powerful, more flexible, more secure, and intuitive. Our developers and interface designers have worked countless hours to make this the most exciting release in the content management system sphere.
Go on ... get your FREE copy of Joomla! today and spread the word about this benchmark project.
