"Unfortunately, what she did falls into our code of conduct," Leah Lauderdale, a spokeswoman for the district, tells Riptide. "It's grounds for immediate expulsion."
More specifically, Wilmot's mini-explosion -- which came after she mixed "common household chemicals" in a plastic bottle -- violates Section 7.05 of the school's conduct code, Lauderdale says, which mandates expulsion for any "student in possession of a bomb (or) explosive device... while at a school (or) a school-sponsored activity... unless the material or device is being used as part of a legitimate school-related activity or science project conducted under the supervision of an instructor."...Wilmot's principal ack
I looked at the top three Google links for Dr. Peter Hagelstein. Could not find anything other than he is still an associate prof at MIT - would think CF would get you tenure.
Would you mind pointing me to some CF success? And I'll constrain that to the definition where success means repeatable.
I love Holland and immensely enjoyed touring from the cost to Utrecht to Groening and further on my bike in the early 90s, nothing like riding south to Den Oever in a strong wind from the west. We did bomb you only about 6 years prior to the last time we did NK - I am sure you know Nijmegen. And while that was no doubt accidental I'd dare say your neighbors are a center of European economic strength due to their treatment by the US and Allies both before and after VE. One of my favorite Dutch jokes - "How does a German tourist get to France? Drives to Holland and turns left." Perhaps not as funny as some of the Belgian jokes I heard in Holland.
RC plane's rarely get more than a 1000' feet away as they become very hard to control.
Totally depends on noise in the spectrum where you are flying - I had a cheap Futaba 72 MHZ system and flew my 6' sailplane up to about 1500' once - control was not my issue it was being able to see my plane and get it out of the thermal.
I had a 6ft wingspan sailplane up at about 1500 ft out in the AZ desert one time - no problem with the radio signal - lots of problem keeping the plan oriented and trying to get out of the thermal. If the spectrum is fairly clear even my cheap radio was good to a few thousand ft.
You have to wonder how someone in an airliner going 200+ mph could even see something that small going ~0 mph, much less be able to describe it in such detail...
On final approach an airliner is more in the 120 to 150 MPH range, and a good pilot is looking hard for other aircraft near the airport - so if you do see something you look pretty hard right at it. And in this case it is not like there is much else at that point to grab your attention - the pilot is still 3 miles out so he can let his attention off the runway for the few seconds it would take to focus on the other aircraft.
Estimating the distance between the aircraft and size of the aircraft is a bit more up in the air.
Best cars I ever owned were an ID-19 from 1969 that regularly gave me 28 MPG, and I was not easy on the pedal; and my 1972 D-Special. Had 200,000 miles on each before I sold them, and I wish I could buy a CIt in the US today - would love a C6.
The disclosure notice said 38 Studios employed 379 full-time workers as of March 15, with 288 of them in Providence and the rest at its other studio in Maryland. The company also reported 34 full-time contractors and eight interns. The company listed 18 job openings on its website as of Monday evening.
Almost 400 people - I guess average salary must have been in the $30-$40K range.
the only thing they could have done better is control their staff. i'm sure there's group emails going round there to that effect now.
the problem is, when they have a big robot looking for life on Mars, everyone's going to assume that when they call a press conference, they'll announce that they've found life on Mars.
Grotzinger is not NASA staff - he is a Caltech professor. And Curiosity is equipped to look for organic chemistry, not current life.
And NASA guy *did* say it was going to be the one for the history books. People hear than and don't assume he means "History Of Martian Soil Chemistry, Volume 3".
Not NASA guy. Caltech professor, lead investigator, not a NASA spokesman!
NASA can't keep up being the "boy who cried wolf." People will just stop listening if every little thing is "breakthrough" and something "earth-shattering!" My goodness.
You know that Grotzinger probably does not even work for NASA right? He is a Caltech professor, likely that Caltech pays his salary. He is not a NASA employee or spokesman.
You really have not gotten your facts straight, but do not fret you might have an excellent career as a science reporter:-).
Are your iPhones retina? How are you and the younger feeling about the iPad Mini display? I'd like to get the mini for my kids, but am concerned that their having iPhones with retina will turn them off of the iPad mini display.
Sure we would - we just watch "The City on the Edge of Forever".
All problems have their solutions in the original series....hardly any need for time travel beyond 1972.
Hence his not posting a link to http://www.mondaynote.com/2012/09/23/apple-maps/ and then saying:
Under-promise, over-deliver. Apple usually does a good job at that, but I agree with Gassée: they did not set expectations properly for the new Maps app.

It's more complicated than that

Not obvious to me that what she had qualifies as either a bomb or explosive.

Re the cost increase on AN - does that mean legitimate use as fertalizer went up 25x for farmers?
CALL -151 the only command worth using

Dude. Full retail is $4K for something that looks pretty good - http://www.marcusuav.com/pricelist.htm.
By decent EE I mean someone like this - DIY http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1337608
I am guessing this cost well less than $4K - though depends on what the guy's time is worth. So if by "big budget" you mean more than a few hundred bucks then yes.

Misconduct, Not Error, Is the Main Cause of Medical Scientific Retractions
Other than Hendrik Schön are there some in Math or Physics that are as likely to commit misconduct?

Perhaps this is typical NASA contractor testing overkill.
My guess is contractor PR overkill - need to get as much press as SpaceX you know.
