Please help. Is this a bug or?
dianashhJuly 18, 2014
Hi guys this morning I noticed white dots on my cactus. I tried removing them with my finger and they can be scratched away. They are only there from one side (as in the picture) is this a bug or a disease? What do I do? :(
rosemariero(Z9 SW SUNDiegoCA)
I believe it's a form of scale. If you have rubbing alcohol (cheap bottle at drug store), mix in spray bottle with half water. Shake spray it. Let it dry. Reapply after a few days. Keep eye on it. You can scrape them off, but that may leave scarring. You may be able to remove with a Q-tip after spraying. I'd quarantine it from other plants while to do this.
Good luck!

My name is Abhi Phatak (male) and I´m from Sydney, Australia.
I travelled to South America in June 2012 with 2 other friends.
The accomodation on this trip was entirely booked using Airbnb and it worked to perfection.
Of my trip, the highlights was definitely completing the 4 day Inca Trail. It was tough but worth it. It was made enjoyable by the group of people I travelled with, the handy porters and the great tour guide, Roger from Fap-Adventure!
It was fascinating to learn about the lives of the Incas during the trail and the entire experience was brought to culmination when we finally reached Macchu Picchu at 7am on the 4th morning!
I definitely recommend your do the trail!
My next adventure overseas will most likely be to Europe!

Hooded Baby Towel
rosajoe_gwJune 17, 2008
I made this pink & green hooded baby towel for a first birthday. I cut off one end and sewed it to the other end and made a binding for the towel in a pink princess butterfly material. I covered the seam on both sides with the material (under the name Abi) and cut the corners off and sewed down to make the hood. Now my fam wants me to make 10 more for the other kiddies for Christmas. They are cute!!!!!
I want one!!! I'd have to use a bath sheet though!!! I've never seen them made this way, Rosa. I was thinking about making one for Addy, but maybe I'll wait til Christmas now......I have a few more kiddles I could make for, too.
This is really pretty.....getting good use of your emb machine!

United States Patent Paine et al.
[451 May 2, 1972 [54] BALL-SCREW LINEAR ACTUATOR 21 Appl. No.: 59,893
2,177,472 lO/l939 Barrett ..3l0/l54 2,956,188 lO/1960 White ..3l0/83X Primary E.\-aminerD, F. Duggan Attorney-J. H. Warden, Monte F. Mott and John R. Manning [5 7] ABSTRACT A compact, linear actuator particularly suited for use aboard a space craft and the like, characterized by an elongated output shaft operatively supported, in an hermetically sealed housing, for rectilinear reciprocation and circumscribed by a ballscrew and nut assembly which operatively is driven through an electrically energizable, reversible motor concentrically coupled with the nut of the ball-screw and nut assembly, whereby selected rectilinear motion is imparted to the shaft as the motor selectively is energized. A particular feature of the actuator resides in the concentricity of the nut and motor which enhances compactness of the actuator and the efficiency of its operation.
7 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures Patent ec l- May 2, 1972 GERALD S PERKINS INVEN T05 ATTORNEYS BALL-SCREW LINEAR ACTUATOR ORIGIN OF INVENTION The invention described herein was made in the performance of work under a NASA contract and is subject to the provisions of Section 305 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, Public Law 85-568 (72 Stat. 435; 42 U.S.C. 2457).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a linear actuator, and more particularly to a compact and lightweight actuator particularly suited for repetitive use in a celestial space environment.
2. Description of the Prior Art The prior art is replete with linear actuators, including solenoids and gas-driven actuators, as well as actuators which are gear-driven in response to outputs acquired from various types of power units including electrically energizable motors. Such actuators often are employed aboard operative space craft for various purposes, including the positioning of maneuver engines. However, existing actuators have not fully met existing needs since, as is readily apparent, such actuators must be highly reliable, compact, and lightweight, as well as possess rapid, predictable and consistent response characteristics under varying load conditions, particularly where the actuators are employed onboard craft carrying out missions of extended duration.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a linear actuator which embodies the principles of the instant invention.
FIG. 2 is a partially sectioned, fragmentary view on somewhat of an enlarged scale, of a rotor employed bythe actuator of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partially sectioned view of the rotor, taken along line 33 of FIG. 2.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown in FIG. 1 a cross-sectional view of a linear actuator which embodies the principles of the present invention. The actuator includes a reciprocable, elongated output shaft 10, having a drive coupling 11 supported within a housing 12. The housing 12 is fabricated from housing components, including a pair of mated shells l3 closed by an access cover, hereinafter called an end plate 14. The shells 13 and the end plate 14 are coupled together in engagement by a plurality of studs 15 and received in appropriately arranged screw-threaded openings, not designated. In addition tothe shaft 10 and drive coupling 11, there is confined within the housing 12 a motor 16 for driving the coupling 11 and a coaxially related linear transducer 18 which continuously monitors the position of the shaft 10.
As best illustrated in FIG. 2, the drive coupling 11 includes a recirculating ball load screw assembly, hereinafter referred to simply as a ball-screw and nut assembly 19. This assembly is provided with a helicoid ball groove 20, a plurality of ball bearings 22 seated in the groove, and a nut 24 circumscribing and confining the ball bearings within the groove. The ball groove 20 is, in effect, established by a pair of oppositely disposed and matched grooves, including a helical groove 25 extending along the external surface of the body of the shaft 10 and a matching helical groove 26 extending along the internal surface of the nut 24. The groove 20 is so dimensioned as to accommodate a multiplicity of the ball bearings 22 in a manner consistent with known ball-screw and nut assemblies. As is well known, the efficiency of a ball-screw and nut assembly is a function of the screw lead angle. Therefore, the lead angle is maintained at a minimal angle.
While not shown, it is to be understood that there is provided a ball-return for the assembly 19. Where desired, the nut 24 can include a plurality of ball-transfer inserts, of a commercially available design, spaced symmetrically about the nuts circumference for providing a plurality of cross-over paths. In such instances, the inserts establish multiple ball circuits for delivering the ball bearings 22 in a recirculating fashion. Since the structures employed in providing the cross-over paths form no specific part of this invention and are well within the purview of the art, a detailed description is omitted in the interest of brevity.
The nut 24 is mounted concentrically within a bore 27 of an elongated sleeve 28, and is secured therein by an annular shoulder 30 abutting one end thereof while the opposite end of the nut is engaged by a lock-ring 32 having an external screw-thread extended along its surface. The lock-ring 32 threadingly is received within an internally screw-threaded portion 34 of the sleeve 28 and is so disposed relative to the nut 24 that the nut is, in effect, sandwiched between the shoulder 30 and the lock-ring 32. Hence, axial displacement of the nut 24 along the longitudinal axis to the sleeve 28 is precluded.
The nut 24 is secured against rotation relative to the sleeve 28 through a suitable coupling such as a pin 36 radially extended through the wall of the sleeve 28 and received within key-way 38 formed in the external surface of the nut 24. Consequently, any rotation which operatively is imparted to the sleeve 28 also is imposed on the nut 24 through the pin 36. It will be appreciated that while only one coupling pin 36 and key-way 38 is shown, as many coupling pins as is desired can be provided.
The sleeve 28 is supported for rotation, relative to the housing 12, through a pair of adjacent bearing races 40 circumscribing one end thereof. These races are seated in an annular seat 41, provided about the periphery of the sleeve 28 and defined by an annular shoulder 42 and an internally threaded annular lock-ring 44. This lock-ring is sea ted in an externally threaded, terminal portion 46 of the sleeve 28, while the shoulder 42 is machined or otherwise'provided on the external surface of the sleeve. Hence, it can be appreciated that the bearing races 40 are retained against axial displacement in much the same manner as that in which the nut 24 is retained against axial displacement relative to the sleeve 28.
The bearing races 40 also are received by an annular bearing surface 50 machined or otherwise provided in the housing 12. This bearing surface is defined between an annular shoulder 52 and a screw-threaded surface 54. An externally threaded lock-ring 56 is received within the threaded surface 54 and is advanced into engagement with the bearing races 40 for securing the races against axial displacement relative to the housing 12, in a manner similar to that in which the races 40 are secured against axial displacement relative to the sleeve 28.
With particular reference to FIG. 1, the shaft 10 includes a distal portion 58 extended through an axial opening 60 formed at one end of the housing 12. While not shown, it is to be understood that the distal portion 58 of the shaft 10 serves to couple the actuator with selected mechanical linkages. The opening 60, through which the shaft is extended, is surfaced in a manner such as to provide a plain bearing support for the shaft 10, whereby the shaft is restrained against radial motion while axial motion of the shaft readily is accommodated. It
should readily be apparent that since the shaft and the sleeve 28 integrally are coupled through the ball-screw and nut assembly 19 the sleeve 28 is supported by the bearing surface 50 and by the shaft 10 as it extends through the opening 60. Where desired, a plurality of O-ring seals 62 can be seated in appropriate grooves formed within the opening 60 and employed in establishing an hermetic seal along the surface of the shaft 10 for assisting in hermetically sealing the housing 12.
The motor 16 includes a rotor 68, of a toroidal configuration, including a wound armature 70. Because of the inherent power torque characteristics, the motor 16 is designed to function as a reversible D.C. motor. Therefore, the armature 70 is provided with a rotor mass including a plurality of laminated disks 72, as well as with armature windings 74 mounted on the sleeve 28 and electrically coupled with a segmented commutator 76 of an annular configuration disposed in a plane normally related to the sleeve 28. A permanent magnet stator 78 substantially of an annular configuration circumscribes the armature and is secured in place through an array of a plurality of coupling pins 80 threadingly received within suitable openings formed in transverse surfaces of the housing 12.
As a practical matter, the pins 80 further serve to support a bell housing 82 having a concentric opening 84 conforming to a polygonal configuration through which is extended the shaft 10. The opening 84 receives therein a torque restraining portion 86 of the shaft 10 so configured as to include a plurality of angularly related flats 88 extending along the surface of the shaft. Hence, as can readily be appreciated, axial reciprocation of the shaft 10, relative to the bell housing 82, is accommodated while rotation about its own axis is precluded due to the rotation inhibiting functions of the portion 86.
The bell housing 82 also serves as a mount for an annular array of suitable brushes 90 operatively associated with the segmented commutator 76 in a manner consistent with design principles of D.C. motors. The brushes 90 are inserted into tubular openings 92 formed in the bell housing 82 and so disposed as to bring the brushes 90 into operative engagement with the segments of the commutator 76. As a practical matter, the brushes 90 are secured in an operative disposition employing screw-threaded plugs 94 and compression springs 96 for assuring that a continuous engagement of the brushes 90 with the commutator 76 is maintained.
The brushes 90 operatively are coupled with a suitable source of D.C. potential, not shown, in order to achieve an electrical energization of the coil windings 74 for imposing rotation on the nut 24, whereby as the nut 24 is afforded rotation the ball bearings 22 act to impart axial displacement to the shaft 10. The direction of rotation thus imparted to the nut 24 and, consequently, the direction of the resulting shaft displacement is dictated by the direction of the flow of current established through the coil windings.
The extent of axial displacement achieved as a consequence of the imposed rotation of the nut 24 is detected through the transducer 18 which continuously monitors the shaft 10. The transducer 18 is, in practice, a linear motion transducer. Since such devices commercially are available, a detailed description is omitted in the interest of brevity. However, it is to be understood that the transducer preferably includes a variable differential transformer winding 100 seated within an axial bore 102 extended into the end of the shaft 10. The transformer winding concentrically is related to the ball-screw and nut assembly 19 and is mounted in a manner such that the windings are displaced relative to the housing 12 as axial motion is imparted to the shaft 10. As a practical matter, a soft iron slug 104 coaxially is received and threadingly mounted within the end plate 14 of the housing 12. The slug extends as a probe into the transformer whereby as linear motion is imparted to the shaft 10, such motion is detected and measured by changes in the acquired voltage output. Suitable electrical leads, not shown, couple the transducer to detection and telemetry circuits, also not shown, whereby the output of the actuator constantly is monitored.
1! is important to note that the linear actuator embodying the principles of the present invention often is employed in a celestial space environment, therefore, it often is preferred that the actuator be hermetically sealed. To achieve this sea]- ing, suitable O-ring seals 110 are disposed between mated surfaces of the housing components and are utilized in achieving an hermetic seal as the housing components are brought into a face-to-face and mated relationship. It is to be understood that the environment in which the actuator is employed tends to dictate the desirability of achieving an hermetic seal for the housing 12 as gas pressurization of the housing 12 permits a use of convenient lubricants as well as affording protection for the various brushes and bearings in the vacuumof celestial space.
OPERATION It is believed that in view of the foregoing description, the operation of the device readily will be understood, and it will be briefly reviewed at this point. With the hereinbefore disclosed actuator assembled in the manner aforedescribed, it will be understood that a D.C. potential, applied across the coil windings 74, through the brushes acting on the commutator 76, serves to energize the motor 16 for imposing rotation on the rotor 68. The direction of flow for the electrical current flow established through the coils serves to dictate the direction in which the rotor 68 is driven. However, regardless of direction of rotation, as the rotor 68 is driven, the nut 24 of the ball-screw and nut assembly 19 also is driven in rotation. Such rotation causes the balls 22 serially to advance along the ball groove 20 for thereby imparting axial advancement of the shaft 10. As axial advancement, in directions determined by the direction of current flow, is imparted to the shaft 10, the transducer 18 continuously monitors the position of the shaft and provides an electrical signal indicative of the extent of such advancement. Consequently, the instant position of the shaft 10, as well as its associated linkages, can accurately be detected and relayed through given telemetry circuits. Of course, as should readily be apparent, by reversing the direction of current flowing through the windings 74 a reversal in the direction of advancement of the shaft 10 operatively is achieved.
In view of the foregoing, it should readily be apparent that the instant invention provides an improved and simplified linear actuator, which results in improved actuator performance while employing structure particularly effective in reducing size and weight of operative payloads in a celestial space environment.
Although the invention has been herein shown and described in what is conceived to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention, which is not to be limited to the illustrative details disclosed.

Grammar instruction is making a comeback but in all the wrong ways. The purpose of learning grammar is to produce well-formed sentences. But mastering the Latinate content of traditional grammar instruction has little to do with achieving this goal.
To help kids master sentence structure, I describe sentences with simple English words, not unfamiliar Latin words. I won't claim to have invented this approach; it just made sense to me when I began dealing with grammar problems in the classroom early in my career.
In my experience, this approach helps kids learn almost instantly how to write well-formed sentences. And because it's so simple, I can start it with primary kids and ELL students with limited English proficiency.
Every Writer Serves a Sentence
Take a look at this sentence:
On a bitter-cold winter morning, Malcolm Maxwell, a young man of simple means but good intentions, left the quiet country town in which he'd been raised and set off on the bold errand he'd been preparing for all his life.
Like all sentences, this one is made up of parts. In this system, there are four kinds of sentence parts:
1. Main Parts These parts contain the main action of the sentence: "Malcolm Maxwell,...left the quiet country town in which he'd been raised,...." (Notice that I don't have to call this a "main clause" or refer to a "main verb".)
2. Lead-In Parts These parts lead into other parts, especially main parts: "On a bitter-cold winter morning,...." (Notice that I don't have to worry about what Latin grammatical function this "phrase" performs. Is it "adverbial", "adjectival", "prepositional"? Who cares? Certainly not the kids!)
3. In-Between Parts These parts fall in between other parts. They feel like a slight interruption: "...a young man of simple means but good intentions,...." (Notice that I don't have to call this a "non-restrictive phrase or clause" or worry about things like "direct or indirect objects"; I can also avoid "subordination" here and when working with Lead-In Part as well.)
4. Add-On Parts These extra parts convey additional information about other parts: "...and set off on the bold errand he'd been preparing for all his life." (Notice that I don't have to worry about "compound, complex, and compound/complex sentences", nor do I have to explain "appositive constructions.")
Using this system, I can describe our model sentence like this: Lead-In + Main + In-Between + Main (continued) + Add-On.
New sentences can be created by combining different parts in different ways. To make longer sentences, more parts can be added. But it's surprising how effective we can be with just a few.
Six Simple Patterns
Here are six of the simpler patterns typical of those I use as models to help kids construct their own:
1. Intro + Main As class began, Mr. Funston dreamed of a winter vacation.
2. Main + Add-On He stared blankly at the blank faces of his students, convinced that he had nothing whatsoever to teach them.
3. Main + In-Between + Main The Lesser Antilles, he realized, would be the perfect place for a warm winter hiatus.
4. Main + Add-On + Add-On He saw himself on the beach, baking in the midday sun, enjoying tasty snacks and refreshing beverages.
5. Intro + In-Between + Main Ten minutes later, having dismissed his students early to lunch, he surfed the Net for a cheap trip to the West Indies.
6. Main + In-Between + Add-On Mr. Funston leaned back in his big teacher chair, forgetting about the twelve pounds he'd put on at Thanksgiving, and immediately tumbled backward into the October bulletin board he'd neglected to take down.
It Works in Reading, Too
By analyzing and describing sentences kids read, and using those patterns as additional models, students develop a robust repertoire of well-formed structures. I also use the system to teach combining and inversions.
I'm amazed at how well kids communicate by mastering six simple two- and three-part patterns like these. There are, of course, many more complicated structures I will teach them. But if they can learn these six, they'll be on their way.
This simplified sentence structure system is the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine of traditional grammar go down. When students create and analyze well-formed sentences, they have a meaningful context for the mastery of concepts that might otherwise seem arcane.
This is only part of the sentence skills curriculum I teach. For a more complete view, see some word choice lessons, here for sentence structure lessons, and punctuation lessons. Since grammar is the study of sentence construction, focusing on the sentence, in a way that doesn't depend on explicit grammatical knowledge, is the key to teaching an otherwise difficult set of concepts successfully to groups of diverse learners.
For a quick overview of major research studies going back to the 1930s on the inefficacy of traditional decontextualized grammar instruction, consult Chapter Two of Constance Weaver's "Teaching Grammar in Context".

Here's a great book o Grammar.
The Giggly Guide to Grammar by Cathy Campbell
I taught developmental English for incoming freshmen a while back, and I have to admit to relying on the Latin quite a bit. I would always introduce the lesson by using the formal language and then move toward a plain English telling. I agree that they tended to best understand the plain talk approach, but knowing that there were ancient rules - an objective and subjective case, for instance - helped them understand that grammar isn't as malleable as they've been led to believe.
Thank you for this post. I have found that using structures my students are able to become better writers, and they have more fun with their writing too! Here is a video that I use with my students for writing compound sentences.
Steve Peha has made a great contributing by simplifying practically useless grammar language. Unfortunately, for the public middle school teacher preparing kids for the Star tests, we need to teach grammar terminology such as complex, compound sentences because they are on the test. I think the best compromise would be to introduce Steve's simple terms and add the standard definitions to them.
Thank you, Steve, for helping me improve my teaching.

a sand question
Just wanted to say hello & thank you all for all you offer here. Oh how I love the web, with just a few clicks on Google ... "there you are....look at this.....lots people who get excited about the same things as me, I am not so strange!"
I have been busy lurking/learning, having fun in the mud and creating with all your know how, but today ran into a bit of a problem casting a gunnera and I donÂt know if it was the sand.
I have always used a hypertufa mix before but I wanted the more defined look many of you are getting.
The plan was to cover the leave with a thin cement layer and then put on wire and finish with another layer of a hypertufa mix so it wasnÂt so heavy.
The sand I am using is called "extra fine"
Mixed up 2 extra fine sand + 1 cement + water and the mix didnÂt look to "wet" just "nice" but as soon as I tried to move or even touch it on the leaf to get it to the edges it turned from sort of hard/wet sand consistency to a runny/liquid mess. (Think of playing with cornstarch and water.) It is like the more you touch it the runnier it becomes. I gave it an hour to "think" but again as soon as I touched it it seemed to liquify again.
Do you think this because the sand is so fine?
Has this happened to any one else?
Thanks for any help here
Hi from just up the Sunshine Coast from ya!
I'm using a 1:1 of portland and silica flour,add in some silica fume and this stuff is STICKY.Use 100% admix,mix until viscous and put it where you want(leaf,your dog)and it'll work just fine!!
Cheers from here!
hello rick
wipe the rain from my eyes and I could almost see you!
sorry I'm so new to this I don't know what silica flour or silica fume is or where I would look for it. Thinkinking it is not in a huge pile at Butler's right? I would love to know about this "sticky" stuff and also having something to put on my hyper dog to slow him down a little sounds fabulous.......flour and fume....... George would love it!
I'm getting up early tomorrow to mix a batch of tufa to put on top of my sand/crete mix of today to try and save my leaf(crosses fingers that the mix has hardend enough but not to much)
Let me know where to get your magic before the frost sets in!
Take a trip to the lower Mainland.Go to Target Products in Burnaby for silica fume ,white portland and coloured sands.
They're at 7550 Conroy,and their tel number is 604-420-3620.
For my silica fume(and modelling clay)I go to the Mad Potter in Richmond(6-3071 number 5 road,tel#604-244-3734)
If you want to explore the detail mesh(EIFS in the U.S.)school of concrete,you can try Pacific West Systems Supply on Boundary in burnaby.They're at 100-2550 Boundary,tel#604-293-1741.
A final thought:Be safe!Mask up at all times!
Cheers from here
Hello neighbour!!!! I live out in North Saanich. I have been casting leaves for two years, and only this year came up with a better mix. I use 3 cups fine sand, 2 cups portland cement, and a few teaspoons of powder admix. Then add water until it is a toothpaste consistency. I have a gunnera sitting right now that I did on Thursday afternoon. Will probably leave it until at least Monday. I still have 2 more to do!!! You said in your note you use extra fine sand??? Where do you get it??
I still have trouble with small holes in some of my leaves, but have learned to live with it. It depends on the leaf.
I have done many many leaves this year, including very large elephant ears. I am in the middle of painting some of them now. I did two very large gunnera last year. MY favourites are hydrangea and brugmansia.
Hope to hear from you.
Hi Glenda,
We are close, IÂm off W. Saanich!
Sand is from ButlerÂs pit on Keating. @$0.04 lb.
When I mixed it up it is like toothpaste but when I try to smooth it out at the leaf tip ends it liquifies and I canÂt get it much more than 1/8" thick.
I need it to be thicker than 1/8" donÂt I, or do I just need more patience before I turn my pieces and try picking off the leaf? The leaf edges keep breaking off!!
The small leaves with this sand have been wonderful, no holes and amazing detail.
I love the hypertufa mix consistency it makes too. Easy to work with, dries slowly and carves beautifully, with a smooth, sandstone finish.
For my latest attempt I put the thin layer of my sand + portland cement mix over the gunnera, then a hypertufa/chicken wire layer over that to build it up and keep the weight down. Dying to turn these over and see ...... waiting is hard!
Now that everyone is cutting down their gunneras I have a stack of leaves laying out there and I am hoping I can create just one that I am pleased with before they rot!

Photos: Senators at Red Wings, March 31
The Detroit Red Wings hosted the Ottawa Senators at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan on Tuesday, March 31, 2015.
Senators shaking things up with straight talk and straight linesMike Hoffman's offensive exploits have drawn great raves and made him one of the NHL's top rookies. But when he's not scoring, his defensive mistakes leave the team vulnerable. Ever so gradually, the Hoffman-Zibanejad-Ryan trio has strayed away from its original foundation for success.

The last time Craig Anderson played in the old barn, full of cherry red seats and cherished Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup memories, he stopped 39 shots.

Two-electron distribution functions and intracules are functions of electronic coordinates and occupy an important, and frequently overlooked, middle ground between the beguiling simplicity of electron densities and the bewildering complexity of wavefunctions. We survey the functions that have been considered by earlier workers and introduce two new ones, the Wigner intracule and the action intracule, that have not previously been discussed. To illustrate their usefulness, we consider the intracules of jellium, a few small atoms and the dissociating hydrogen molecule.

This would seem to be an easy question, but I think many of us would define "vacation" differently. For some it's simply days off – not being at work. For others a true vacation means getting away – traveling – to someplace different than home. I've encountered many folks who regularly do not take any vacation. Workers accrue unused vacation days, their firms do not let them roll them over to the next year, and they just let them expire. I …

DEFINITION of 'Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association - VEBA'
A type of mutual organization that provides life, illness, accident, medical and similar benefits to members, their dependents or their beneficiaries. The association can be established by employees or by an employer and must consist of employees of the same company or same labor union. VEBA benefits normally end when the employee leaves the company or labor union with which the VEBA is associated.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association - VEBA'
Funds may be contributed to a VEBA either the employees or their employer. Employer contributions are often tax-deductible to the employer. VEBAs themselves are authorized by Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(9) as tax-exempt organizations as long as their earnings are only used for providing benefits. However, benefits paid out to employees are not necessarily tax exempt to the employee.

Solar-Powered Airplane Completes First Leg Of U.S. Flight
The Solar Impulse, an airplane traveling across the United States using only solar power, is in Phoenix today, after reaching Arizona from California Saturday. It took the plane about 20 hours to travel from Mountain View, Calif., near San Francisco.
The aircraft is capable of flying at night as well as in daytime; the plane had about 75 percent of its battery power remaining when it landed in Arizona.
The Solar Impulse's "wingspan is longer than a 747 Boeing, but the entire plane weighs less than a car," as NPR's Steve Henn reported last month.
Comparisons such as that one may brought a moment of humor during Solar Impulse's trip, when the plane's pilot heard the pilot of another aircraft on his radio, asking an air traffic controller why the Impulse required a wide berth.
"Just think of a flying electric car," the controller replied.
The first leg of the trip was piloted by Bertrand Piccard; his co-founder in the venture, André Borschberg, will also pilot the plane during its American trip.
The plane has completed a transcontinental flight before — flying from Switzerland to Morocco last year, as Eyder reported for The Two Way.
With a maximum altitude of nearly 28,000 feet and an average speed of about 40 miles per hour, the Solar Impulse will make three more stops — in Dallas, Saint Louis, and Washington, D.C. — as it crosses the United States. It will then head to New York City.
Along the way, members of the public can visit the plane at airports. Its pilots and crew will also visit local groups to speak about solar-powered flight (details at their website).
Organizers say that after crossing the United States, their next goal is to fly the Solar Impulse around the world.

Nov 24, 2008 GMTLast week I was at a conference in San Francisco entitled "Open Mobile Summit".For their first attempt the organizers did what I thought was a very good job organizing this conference, getting people from many branches of the mobile telephone industry (handset manufacturers, carriers, service providers and ISPs) to come together to talk about "Open Mobility". There were even representatives from Research In Motion (makers of the Blackberry) and much mention was made of the Apple iPhone, and even though neither were considered to be very "Open", they were featured in the discussions regarding such areas as security, reliability, fragmentation and making...
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
Nov 14, 2008 GMTBy now anyone who does not know we are running out of IPv4 Internet addresses must be living in a hole. The warnings and pleadings of the Internet community to move toward IPv6 have gone from "advisory" to "panic" to "IT is almost too late". But while the final issue may have to be solved by the "cupboard is bare" answer, I have found a few more reasons for me (and others) to make the move now instead of later. Recently I have been looking at dual issues of mobile Internet and power consumption. Through several different avenues, a culprit is appearing, and its name is IPv4. Now don't get me wrong, IPv4 has been my friend for many, many years. It...
Oct 20, 2008 GMTIn a lot of ways it is nice to write for a magazine family like Linux New Media that is a media sponsor of so many events. I get to see a lot of the events, and it encourages me to go to more of the talks than I would normally do. Normally I talk to people in the hallways and see one or two talks. When I represent the magazine at these events, I try to see more of the talks. October 11th was the sixth annual Free and Open Source Conference and Expo in Columbus Ohio (also know as the "Ohio LinuxFest) and as always, it was a fine community event. Over 1000 people attended, and with both the issues of the economy and high gas prices, was more than some of the event planners...
Oct 06, 2008 GMTIn 2004 I was at the FISL conference in Porto Alegre, Brazil when I was introduced to a young man who wanted to create a documentary about the Free Software movement. His name is Christian Einfeldt and he is a lawyer in San Francisco, California Christian and Paul Donahue, his cameraman, had flown to Brazil to capture some of the excitement and flavor of Free Software that occurs at FISL. At the conference I contributed some video on the early days of the Alpha port and other topics. Later I found that Christian was traveling to Extremadura, Spain for the Free Software World Conference and when I went to wine country on a trip to California I invited Christian to join Eric Allman...
Sep 30, 2008 GMTThis is a very long blog entry. I wondered whether it would be better to write it here, or to write an article for Linux Pro Magazine. The editors felt that because of the timeliness of the subject it would be better to have it as a blog entry. For those who do not want to read to the end, the "Executive Summary" is: Microsoft admits that TCO for education students in developing nations is about the same with their products and Free Software. They further admit that the initial TCO costs of hardware and software are lower with Linux, and that Linux technical people in developing nations command a higher salary than their Microsoft counterparts due to scarcity. I feel that...
Sep 24, 2008 GMTI was summoned to a large bank the other day. This bank administers funds for various philanthropic organizations, and often oversees grants for software development. The bank had an interesting idea. Since the grants they handed were purportedly for the "common good", why not make a stipulation that any software developed through a grant be a free and open source license? At first the bank thought about insisting that all of the software be GPL. That way the bank could be assured that the maximum number of people could use the code that was developed with these philanthropic funds. However, the bank worried about companies who wanted to take the GPLed software and make a...
Sep 18, 2008 GMTLast week I was in Montevideo, Uruguay. While there I visited the people who are rolling out the deployment of the XO (nee OLPC) systems, named "Proyecto Ceibal". Ceibal's office was located in an incubator where small businesses are started. Project Ceibal occupied two locations in the series of "incubator" buildings. Uruguay is very serious about deploying the laptops, and today the project is deploying about 1,600 laptops per day. They believe that the first wave of laptops will be completely deployed by the end of 2009 (the country of Uruguay has a population of 3,460,607 people according to a July 2007 estimation). Along with the notebooks, of course, is the...

In 1925, Native Americans from the Spokane region met in a large Indian Congress. The tribes set up tents and tepees in the Peaceful Valley area of downtown Spokane.
The Montgomery Ward building, designed by the department store's team from Chicago, was built in 1929 and brought an elegance to shopping in downtown Spokane.
Doerr-Mitchell and Company, selling electrical and radio supplies, opened in Spokane in 1897. Although it moved from the Howard St. location early on, business grew rapidly.
Trains combined with power from hydroelectric dams on the Spokane River became the first urban public transportation system in early Spokane.
A century ago, the elk population in Spokane was booming. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, commonly known as the Elks Club, had almost 8000 members in Spokane, rivaling the largest groups in the country.

The Opportunity Township hall, a Spanish colonial-style building at 12114 E. Sprague, turns 100 years old this year and its current occupant, the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum, will celebrate the centennial on Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. with a short program and the burial of a time capsule.
Until the 1960s, the waterfront in Coeur d'Alene served as a steamboat landing, a lumber mill, a sea plane dock, a train yard, an area of industrial warehouses and a log storage area. In the 1960s, the transformation to a tourist destination began in earnest.
James "Cashup" Davis, born in England in 1815, came to America 1840 to seek his fortune. His early success in the hospitality business led him to dream of a hotel perched atop Steptoe Butte, a rocky hill in the middle of the Palouse.
Spokane's downtown had everything. From its founding in the 1870s to the end of its industrial boom in 1910, people came downtown by streetcar, then buses, for groceries, hardware, clothing, doctor appointments and restaurants.
The 1955 photo shows a city in transition. By some measures, the post-WWII economy was still slowing following the vigorous expansion of early Spokane, circa 1890 to 1910. Although Spokane was the economic and industrial center of the region, its proud skyline, with the Paulsen Medical and Dental Building and the Old National Bank building seemed sculpted in another era. Trains still trundled in and out of the area around Spokane Falls, but transportation was changing as the automobile offered a new freedom. In just a few years, the idea for a world's fair to revitalize downtown would take hold and the rails and train depots of old Spokane were swept away for Expo '74. The shoreline of the Spokane River was recontoured. Many structures from Expo are still in use, like the Washington State Pavilion, a gleaming modern theater which would become the INB Performing Arts Center.
The history of professional baseball in Spokane.
President William Howard Taft loved good food and there was no shortage of it during his visit to Spokane in 1909, which coincided with the National Apple Show.
In the days before refrigerators, beer had to be made locally, often in the back of a saloon where it was sold. One of the first big breweries in Spokane was the New York Brewery, which opened in 1886 on the northwest corner of Washington and Front St., now called Spokane Falls Blvd.
On the northwest corner of Riverside and Stevens, now a two story office buildings, was the Eagle block starting in 1888.
Cliff Drive was a popular spot for photographers to document the growth of early Spokane.
The Rex Theater, decorated with an elaborate rococo plaster facade, opened at 326 W. Riverside around 1908 as the Empire Theater offering light opera, vaudeville shows and first-run silent movies in the midst of Spokane's bustling boom years.
James Glover's new home, designed by Kirtland Cutter, at 321 Eight Ave. cost $100,000 in 1888. In the economic panic of 1893, Glover lost most of his money and the house was taken by the bank.
The ground floor of Peyton building was Murgittroyd's Drug Store in the early part of the 20th century. More recently is has been a series of restaurants.
The Hall of Doges was designed to emulate the elegance of Doge's palace in Venice, Italy. Diners were transported into the world of Renaissance art and gilded scroll work. Developer Walt Worthy preserved the hall by crating it whole and removing it during the hotel's refitting, then replacing it in 2001. Today it is a dining and meeting area outside the Grand Pennington ballroom.

Theory X and Theory Y, conflict resolution strategies, and life positions all are concerned with how people relate to each other. Students may suggest that Theory X (people must be controlled, directed, and coerced) corresponds most directly with the life position of "I'm OK—you're not OK." Persons with Theory X and "I'm OK—you're not OK" attitudes would tend to use a forcing strategy for conflict resolution. Theory Y (people exercise self-control and self-direction) can be associated with the "I'm OK—you're OK" life position. Persons with these characteristics would use a win-win conflict resolution strategy. Students also could refer to Figure 10-6 for further comparisons.

Effective treatment of poikiloderma of Civatte is difficult. The ideal treatment combines elimination of both the vascular and pigmented components simultaneously. Treatment with a broad-spectrum noncoherent intense pulsed light source delivers multiple wavelengths with software-controlled pulse durations and sequencing that permit treatment of both vascular and pigmented lesions simultaneously. The objective of this study was to determine the response and side effects of treating this condition with intense pulsed light. In the study, 66 patients with typical changes of poikiloderma of Civatte on the neck were treated with intense pulsed light at various settings every 4 weeks until the desired improvement occurred. A 50 to 75 percent improvement in the extent of telangiectasias and hyperpigmentation was observed after an average of 2.8 treatments. The incidence of hypopigmentation was 5 percent. It was concluded that intense pulsed light is an effective mode of therapy for poikiloderma of Civatte. It seems to offer a reduction in both pigmentation and telangiectasia-associated erythema, with minimal side effects. (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 107: 1376, 2001.)
