"The first FPV Summit with a crane"
If the FPV was cool... Is a lot better with a crane lol

geez i have been watching this thread for a while and i must say for one your computer graphics are pretty good looking. i wanna learn to do that myself. and i also must say that i thought that you saying you were gonna have 3 cameras is insane (in a good way) but a crane geez this is probably gonna turn into a military tool prototype in anytime XD i think it sure would be faster then what they have right now. and handle better too.
Haha yeah this crane idea is pretty exciting for me. It SHOULD be referred to as a, "Manipulator Arm" as that's really what it is, I need to stop saying crane.
It's hilarious, when it comes to military stuff. There's a tmaxx vehicle out there, with a basic platform and controls on it selling for over $100,000 and Nasa took it and changed the controls to an xbox controller and wifi for secure video and control. That's insane, $100,000 for something that costs $1500 to make!?!? I'm buying all kinds of equipment I don't need for this unit so the price will probably total $3000 at the end of it all, but even still.... not bad, making $97,000.00 per unit!
The stock suspension won't be strong enough to support everything so that's going to be a quick hurdle to get over when the time comes.
Using three cameras almost isn't enough! But it'll have to be haha. I'd LIKE to have one on the arm itself, one looking at the arm, another for FPV main driving, another for rear. But because I have pan and tilt, I'll be able to have just a REAR mounted, ARM mounted, and Pan and Tilt so that I can look anywhere I want. Three IS enough, but more is always more fun!
I dropped the carbon fiber stuff off at the printers today to see if they can do a quick test with how to print to it, hope to hear back either tomorrow or Monday.
Hmm first thing I wonder when I see manipulator arm is what are you wanting to pick up or carry? Other than kinda wonder if Krall is building a prototype for NASA's next Mars mission! Wow from just wanting a camera mounted in your summit to a full blown
Remote RV for NASA hmm or Military.
Oh and when he first started said it would be simple so anyone would be able to do it, but who has 3G's laying around to put into RV.

The manipulator arm is more of a, "if needed" rather than "main focus" but I have to put a lot of attention in to it, I don't want a basic arm, too simple imho.
As for 3g's... to do this all you need is:
OSD: $35 (I picked the $200 one)
Two Radios: $50 (I picked $100 ones, and ordered two more for the crane)
Basic DVR + Screen: $65 (I picked $180 one + $200 screen)
Video TX/RX: $35 (I picked $140 one)
Camera(s): $30 each (I got two of those, and a $300 go pro)
Then the car of course.
Pretty cheap! HOWEVER I ALSO....... picked up $250 worth of switches and buttons and connectors. Included my $100 EZ Peak Plus charger... got a video splitter, sound system, night vision, GoPro, etc.. so *MY build is very expensive, but to make an FPV with the basics, no problem doing it for under $225!
lol holy crap, this is getting really intense krall, how are you rockin the night vision?
What's a coffee if it aint Irish
The manipulator arm is still kinda scaring me because I'm afraid what will HAPPEN is this:
Turn it on, and ALL The servos zero themselves. Suddenly the entire arm rotates in every direction, AT ONCE. Servos don't like being, "out of bounds" and when the arm rests - when it's off - and I apply power to it, I think they will all go FULL rotation until they find ZERO. And what's unfortunate is, I can't try this until I shell out the money for the servos.
Either way, the night vision is from these IR leds:
Left one is top, right one is bottom view. There is a photo sensor there as well that will prevent them from being on during the day. If I turn night vision on and it's dark, they will light up, but if I then drive in to the day light, they will automatically turn off. They are being controlled via one of the rc-lights receiver switches.

I've just FINALLY sourced a proper/affordable camera pan and tilt joystick!!
This is perfect, I was really worried about how I was going to securely mount my playstation'esque joystick to the panel! THAT joystick in the picture above, IS panel mount. It's the CORRECT way to do this, I've been looking everywhere and they were all $140+ and shipped from China/Japan or something far away. This one is costing me just over $20!
Depending on how it works out, I might order a couple 3 or 4 function joysticks for the manipulator arm. Left Right/Up Down/Twist LeftRight and a button.
So for instance, to move the base part up, I'd pull the joystick backwards, the push it down, I'd push the joystick forwards, to rotate it left or right, I would push left or right, and then to rotate the actual grabber... I could twist the joystick left or right, and then to operate it, I could press the button! Then another joystick for the second arm and third arm, only they would be up and down, or up and down (no side to side on them) Hope this isn't too confusing. POINT IS, I've finally found what I was looking for for the past few months, and it's on it's way up here from Kansas.
Like a bank, you only need it Sunday night.. where in this case, I've ordered but on Friday afternoon Probably won't see these items until August 27th. I also ordered some header pins, ABS plastic sheets and a ball bearing platform for the manipulator arm to mount to.

Nice find man, glad to see it too.. if anyone wants to do this, it's all here
I want to pretty bad but I'll have to see how it goes in the next 2 1/2 months
What's a coffee if it aint Irish
SO on August 14th I ordered from *********, and it STILL hasn't shipped my remotes or battery. "Processing..." EVERYONE online has said, "yeah takes a month" so I ordered from "In Stock: USA Warehouse" apparently paying an additional $35 doesn't make a DIFFERENCE at all. Very annoyed. I also ordered from Servocity, THEY still haven't shipped. What the heck is going on here.... since WHEN do people take your money for an order and simply NOT ship anything!?
To be fair with servocity I ordered and waited 4 days, and said, "Uh.. hello??? Have you shipped yet? If not I want to add this to the order" and that has been the last 2 days and still no shipping. I mean I'm used to getting stuff OVER NIGHT from the states for $8 from digikey.. waiting 5-10 days before it's even SHIPPED to then wait an additional 10-15 days, this is driving ME and the guys who I've asked to do the laser cutting insane!
I had to rant somewhere, facebook doesn't cut it! Hah.
I have had this happen before... a few minutes with online support got my order moving along. Seems it was a technical glitch?
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Yeah we'll see. Servocity got back to me and said my order will be shipped today. Should be any minute now I get an email saying so. As for hk....... I need to receive to parts so that I can move ahead with testing so that I can finalize my case design so that I can get it printed/cut so that I can get it built so that I can drive for a least one week before the snow comes back! Haha.
I made an order yesterday... shipped out today.
(have another radio on the way; with support equipment/parts)
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
From the same place as me? MAN that is frustrating.
Servocity sent me confirmation, it'll arrive end of day August 27th. Eugh. Hopefully by then my other order will have shipped.
I am getting pretty upset with this waiting game, I find myself sitting here hitting refresh refresh refresh on both this forum and facebook.
It was NOT my intention to frustrate you. lol
I ordered some header pins of eBay too... hopefully the new GTX radio is hackable like the GT3B's.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Hahah you better not have! Hahah no I knew that :P
The one good thing about the extra time is that it's given me a lot of time to sit back and reflect what I want to be able to do.
I've decided to move away from the handheld remote all together, and instead incorporate the entire thing in to the ground station itself.
You can see there that I now have camera tilt and pan on one joystick, and the car gas/brake/left/right on the right controller. Now I'll be able to drive the car, WHILE controlling the camera, instead of putting the remote down to then pan/tilt. Also using my other two knobs, I've setup a differential selector and a gear selector. Going to need some tricky tricks to make the led's light up, but it'll be cool I think. I only ordered 10 blue led's, and I only have 5 red ones (panel mounted, with nice bezels and all) but I still need to make another order from digikey to get some extra antennas for the new remotes anyway.
So ya.

I think the delays/waiting have allowed you time to think through each part/function you add. Each addition looks truly integrated and thought out, not just "tacked on". It's interesting to just browse thru this thread and just look at how your base station has evolved. Mad props to you!!

Wow, thanks a lot Mayberry! I just went through the whole thread myself, and there's 4 months worth of development in this thing, holy moly.
Good news on the joystick front:
Windsor, ON, Canada 08/22/2012 2:46 Package data processed by brokerage Waiting for clearance
Lenexa, KS, United States 08/22/2012 1:04 Arrival Scan
Wichita, KS, United States 08/21/2012 21:40 Departure Scan 08/21/2012 21:00
United States 08/21/2012 17:54 Order Processed: Ready for UPS
Shows that within only a few hours, it's gone from Kansas to Windsor Ontario! It's only 4.5hrs south of me right now! I don't see how it can take an entire week to get 4.5 hrs north!
Yeah the waiting game... I realized this morning after checking, that it says "Windsor Ontario, BROKERAGE" not "border" so that means it was cleared to come here not actually here as it's now in Missouri. Ah well.
I just ordered two more orders from Hong Kong:
Temperature Switches (turns fan on automatically at 80°c - I'll mount this to the hottest part in the case)
Mini Switches
More Rotary Switches
Power Receptacle - so that when I plug in the case, I can still plug something else in as well - like an extension cord kinda deal.
USB to UART TTL (to program my new remote controls... $2.50 for the circuit)
10 more rotary knobs - the small ones.
Total is about $40, and shipping is all free.
So NOW..... I'm waiting on those parts, two remotes, three joysticks (the camera controllers) and my laser cutting guys to get back to me. Once I get the joy sticks and remotes, I'll know exactly what I'll want to do with the second smaller case, finalize the graphics once and for all............. and get the unit built. So seeing that I just placed an order, and it takes 15-20 days for that stuff to get here, this project won't be done for another month however by the 27th I'll have what I need to finalize the graphics.
Waiting game continues.
Sent you a PM with the ones I got! =)
My parts from Kansas arrived today (joysticks, and other things) annnd after paying $40 shipping, I still owe another $46 on arrival. SO ANNOYING, SO SO SO annoying. Primarily because my visa is tapped out from OTHER orders, so I couldn't even receive the order today. I need to go get cheques from the bank, so that tomorrow I can write a cheque when UPS returns.
$80 in parts, $86 in shipping and still took over 10 days from when I ordered it. Insane.
That is insane shipping costs... insane!
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Will have to agree on the shipping being out of sight.......did you order under any ASAP; such as 3 day air or anything of that kind. IF not I would be REAL tempted to not even open the package until I called an talked with someone about that much for shipping. Of course you being like myself if that is the only place you could find those parts, you will fume, say a few choice words and accept it.
$86 for shipping???
A package from USA to here is like $20 to $40 Max, $60 in specials cases, but normally never more than $80...
That's weird...

Yup, same. Stupid border fees get me though. Turns out I paid only $20 shipping for this package, but then to get it from the border to here was another $46. Stupid!
What gets me most annoyed is that it's only 1 day faster than FREE shipping from China. FREE from 12,500km away, or $65 from 2000km away. Makes sense to me.
I recently sent a radio out to a buddy in Brazil. Most folks won't ship direct to him so he sends stuff to me and I repack it so it is lighter and better protected. Anyway, the used Futaba was $151 on eBay... cost $53 to ship insured... customs charged $247 in fees upon pickup.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Wow! THAT is insane. I think I spoke to that guy? Sorta kinda anyway.. heh, 12 hours from now I'll have my joysticks for the case and can finally find out if they're going to work out for me.
Yeah... it was Ed.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Eduardo Almeida Da Silva to be exact.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
These things are even prettier in reality!
For what I paid $20 each, most of the internet has for over $100, and for what I paid $35 for (the 3axis with a button) the majority of the internet is selling for over $200. So what you're looking at is $400 worth of joysticks, that I paid $75 for! Going to go wire one up to the TQ and see if it's ranges are the same. Here's hoping!
Hooked it up, and it works pretty good! The end points are slightly off... I move the joystick about 75% and that's full steering. I know you can adjust end points somehow, but I'll look in to that later, point is... it works! Couldn't get a video though cause the batteries are dead in the truck, I moved about 4 feet.. fixed the mesh, tried again ..... dead batteries hahaha. NOW I have to rebuild the charger that I took apart! Eugh

WOW just WOW!!
Awesome work so far! Really, really well done. This is my first post -I'm a noob- and I had to create this account because I just wanted to congratulate you so far!! Stupendous work! I can't wait to see it all finished!!
I just recently became interested in RC trucks by Traxxas, the Summit 1/10 being my vehicle of choice, although I still am saving up to buy it.
I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this thread -thank you very much!!
Well, all the best!!
Hiya Sinus, first welcome to forums!! This place is awesome, so many friendly/helpful/ingenious people here and it's very active!
I'm happy to have given you a reason to sign up, I'm flattered you did it just to reply to my thread! This is why I've been working on this, so that in the future whenever anyone looks up any info about 1/10 FPV, or Summit FPV, or FPV gear or trials etc.. this'll be a wealth of information of "do's & don'ts" haha.
As an update:
Now that my batteries are charged up, I threw'm in the Summit and tried the controls for about 5 minutes. VERY touchy. However again, 80% of the physical movement makes up 100% of the Car function, so I'm thinking I'm just going to throw a 1k resistor in line and that should even out the resolution of the new joysticks.
It's really tough holding the joystick, the handheld tx, the antenna, AND using it all at the same time haha, but so far it's looking like it's all going to work great.
Still waiting on my two 6-ch radios from the states, then I'll know how well they will react and might just use THOSE radios with these new joysticks. We'll see, and I'll update as soon as there's something else to post!
And thanks again Sinus! =)
Hello again mate,
Thanks for the warm welcome! You really set a fine example.
How I wish I had the time to pursue a project like yours! I'm in medschool so really tight on free time. As it is, most if not all of my colleagues don't even bother with anything other than their books, but I like to keep things interesting. Alas, I reckon I never will get to partake on such an interesting and enjoyable project. Perhaps next year after I graduate, I just might get enough time away from my books to relax and do so. Fingers crossed!
Because of my schedule and other work, I usually don't go online on weekdays but lately I just had to get away from my studies to take a breather. I've never owned such large RC trucks/vehicles before. I just stumbled upon a couple of videos about the Summit on youtube and was simply hooked. Had a hard time believing they packed in a 2-speed transmission with controllable diffs in RC cars!!...guess I've been living under a rock for quite sometime. I've watched and read reviews about the Summit and I can barely wait to get my hands on one. Thanks to the exorbitant custom duties here, it'll cost me approx $890 with fast shipping from Amazon. Ouch! Ah well can't say I'm not excited. The only question on my mind is whether it's justifiable for someone like me with very limited free time to own an RC vehicle that demands quite a bit of attention? Will I do justice to the enormous Summit? I can't really say. Here in lies my dilemma -that I'll purchase the Summit and it'll end up lying unused and rusting away...
I'll definitely follow through till you finish up the work you started, I may not be "active" regularly but I'll try. I'll pop into here whenever I can. Haha...cheers and once again all the best!
P.S won't be online anymore till the weekend maybe. Yes, I know, sounds terrible. But have a lot of catching up to do because of the impromptu break I just took for the past few days.
Just received my two radios and 5000mah 3s lipo.
Very excited! Going to quickly test'm out in the car. I have to modify all the leads from the Summit though, they have that little n00bieNub on them to prevent them from being placed backwards.
The radios are impressive, 6 channels and all 6 are proportional!

Career-making among cinematographers and film editors in the Danish film industryMathieu, Chris; Stjerne, Iben Sandal (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This chapter analyzes subjective and objective dimensions of developing a career to a large extent based on one or several strong dyadic relationships to directors who invariably overshadow editors and cinematographers, and the personal and professional advantages (maybe even necessity) and dilemmas encountered in this process. We focus on processes of reputation, but above all, association. With regard to association we examine its two-fold dimensions. On the one hand we look at dynamics inherent in the dyadic relationship (relationship-internal dynamics) as these are central to both subjective experience of one's career (i.e. meaningfulness, quality of working life, ambitions, and accomplishments), as well as its more objective trajectories.

Volleyball Wales - working hard for the sport
Cardiff, Wales, July 15, 2013 – The problem of developing a sport without a large player base or a steady source of income is one that has faced Volleyball Wales since its inception.
In order to reverse the trend the organisation has been focusing on introducing the sport to as many children and young people as possible in the country. They have been able to do this via a project that was recently funded by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) aimed at developing school-level volleyball in order to increase participation in the sport.
"So using things like the Urban Games, Street Games and the Community Games that have been running through schools in the area recently, we've managed to reach about 1,000 youngsters in the last four weeks," said Yvonne Saker, chair of Volleyball Wales, who was also heavily involved in the organisation of the sport during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Volleyball Wales, one of the newest governing bodies in Welsh sport, was founded in 2009 in order to ensure that the country was represented in the UK School Games in 2009.
So far, the attention of the organisation has been
mainly centred on volleyball rather than beach volleyball.
Despite the limited number of clubs – there are only seven that are currently active – volleyball is played all over Wales in some form or another, particularly in universities.
Saker hopes that the launch of a new semi-permanent court in September will raise awareness of both the facility itself and volleyball in general in Wales.
"There is a level for every person, depending on what they're going in for," she said "Generally it's a very physical game, it's a very social game and there's a lot of discipline, but there's also a lot of fun at every level.
"You tend to use a lot of skills that aren't common in other sports. For example, you don't tend to use your forearms in other sports whereas you do a lot in volleyball. Again, in terms of reading the ball, you're obviously not allowed to let it bounce.
"So it does take a little bit of getting used to. But it's great. Because it's a team sport, it's a really, really fun environment for everyone to play."
For more information about the opportunities that are available to play volleyball in Wales, please contact Yvonne Saker by email: email@example.com

Players of the Week - No. 6
McClain, a 5-8, 162 pound sophomore running back from Nashville, Tenn., was the difference-maker in the 21-17 win at No. 22 Shorter (Ga.) on Oct. 8. He returned the second-half opening kickoff 92 yards for a score to put Cumberland up for good at 14-10. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown by a Bulldog since Nov. 7, 2009. McClain also rushed eight times for 45 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards in the contest. He is ranked fourth in the NAIA in kickoff return yards per game (31.9) and leads the Bulldogs with 744 all-purpose yards in five games played. McClain earned the NAIA Special Teams Player of the Week honor back on Oct. 28, 2008.
Sheppard, a 5-11, 180 pound senior cornerback from Coral Springs, Fla., notched two second-half interceptions in the 42-7 victory over Taylor (Ind.), who was receiving votes in the Top 25. Sheppard made key plays when the Knights held a 21-7 score as he helped stave off any Taylor comeback. Sheppard nearly had a third pick after he broke up two passes and he also notched four tackles on the day. Sheppard was part of a Knights defense that has not allowed a point in the first half in seven-consecutive games. He has registered four interceptions on the year, which ranks fifth in the NAIA.
White, a 6-1, 175 pound sophomore quarterback from St. Cloud, Fla., engineered a 27-0 comeback victory over No. 4 William Penn (Iowa). With his team trailing in the second quarter, White led his team on a 36-8 scoring run en route to a 36-35 triumph. He matched his own Fighting Saints single-game record with four touchdown tosses to go along with a career-high 304 total yards on 23-of-33 passing. He also rushed 14 times for 39 yards. The four-touchdown game was his third such effort in the last five outings. In addition to the four touchdown passes, he connected with Desmond Page for the two-point conversion with 13 seconds left that gave the Saints the win.

The 20th century dawned with Nikola Telsa's vision of a power grid built upon alternating current (AC), outdoing Thomas Edison's direct current scheme (DC). That vision shaped the century into an electrical odyssey in which clever minds transformed electricity from running motors and powering lighting into serving information technology needs.
But the real electric revolution began in the 1960s, when the integrated circuit, and later the microprocessor, became the universal machines for powering the information age. In this ongoing information revolution, digital technology is changing the way we work and live. Interconnected networks bring communications to thousands at a breathtaking speed.
With all corners of the world being wired into the Internet, the need for stable, reliable electrical power is increasingly important. We are entering a new electrical century in which the type of electricity (super reliable and clean) that the information economy requires will be provided by a rebuilt power grid.
Consider this: today's high technology runs on the "Smart Chip" (a microprocessor consuming a fraction of a watt of power). The "Power Chip" (a silicon-based device capable of switching a megawatt of power) will prevail in the 21st century. The Power Chip does exactly what a transistor does: It uses a smaller current to switch a large one. But in the case of utilities, a much larger one.
Look for the Power Chip to help take apart and put back together the trillion-dollar U.S. network of central power stations and distribution lines and the $500 billion-a-year kilowatt-hour economy.
The Power Chip was developed between 1975 and 1995, a period in which power rating of individual Power Chips barely doubled while the market for power conversion semiconductors grew to an $8 billion market.
While only about 12% of the world's electricity is presently switched by Power Chips, 100% penetration is inevitable, and the most critical and profitable market will be supporting the requirements of the Smart Chips (the microprocessors). Today's modern computers and communications equipment need upwards of "Ten Nines" of reliability in their power supply.
Hospitals, airports and other facilities have demanded better than 99.9% ("Three-Nines") reliability (what the electric power grid provides) for years, and thus have standby generating systems. Consider that 99.9% reliability translates into about eight hours of outage a year. But, as microprocessors and Web links penetrate deep into the economy, and into the facilities of even ordinary business, power quality and reliability become very important.
Communications and business computers have reliability demands that start at Six-Nines, 99.9999%, uptime. This is about 30-seconds total outage a year. How much will people pay for these additional Nines? What does it cost an Internet brokerage firm to go off-line for an hour? What does it cost a wireless phone company when it loses a cellular phone base station in a major city?
Flywheels, coils, and fuel-cells To add these Nines, industry uses an array of products. They range from capacitors and inductors mounted on a motherboard or in a UPS to handle interruptions of milliseconds; to batteries, flywheels and superconducting coils to handle interruptions of seconds to minutes; and diesel generators and turbines to supply backup for hours or days. Every step requires a switch that can operate fast and cleanly enough to make the switching process invisible to the microprocessor.
Building reliability is expensive, and it gets more expensive with each additional Nine. For example, Six-Nines reliability comes at a cost of perhaps $1,000/kWh. At the Nine- and Ten- Nines level, the cost is about $100,000/kwh. However, clean information-quality power is a must in the information economy, and thus is one of the greatest business opportunities for electrical contractors and engineers.
As microprocessors become even more ubiquitous, the profits in premium power will soon exceed those in the Three-Nines market (the electrical power system). In the years ahead, electrical contractors will be providing a growing variety of clean/reliable power equipment in three categories: clean power systems, ride-through systems and stand-alone local generators.
The Huber/Mills Power Report, a newsletter published by the GilderGroup and introduced at the 1999 Gilder/Forbes Telecom Conference, clearly outlined four factors in the power industry to look forward to in this new century: 1. The demand for High-Nines power is altogether new, and this reliability is demanded by the Internet economy and associated businesses.
2. The power electronics required to bring standby generators online quickly and cleanly matured just recently. Safely and economically interfacing half-megawatt generators was impossible only five years ago. It's readily available today.
3. The deregulation of the power industry is accelerating just as the Power Chip makes deregulation relevant.
4. The revolution in materials science and engineering has almost doubled the efficiency and boosted reliability of the diesel engine. A 1981 Caterpillar 3500 series produced 900kW; the same block and geometry now produces 2,200kW. Digital control and monitoring eliminates the mechanical governor, alternator and voltage regulator and improves generator-set performance. Main-taining a diesel engine's rotational speed at a specified level over a range of loads, the newest type of electronic engine controller typically consists of an electronic control module (ECM) and a fuel injection system. Windows- compatible software controls startup, fuel economy and voltage stability. Communications technology allows real-time and remote monitoring and diagnosis, thus boosting reliability and reducing costs.
Bringing about the changes The Huber/Mills Power Report claims that as the number of local generators, installed originally to provide High-Nines insurance to their owners, grows, the architecture of the power system grid will change.
These predictions are being borne out. Here are some examples. New York Power Authority (NYPA) President and Chief Operating Officer Eugene W. Zeltmann said an "explosion of new technology" brought about by competition in the utility industry promises to affect all aspects of how electricity is produced, delivered and consumed.
In Zeltmann's view, part of the new technology will be improvements in the traditional central power stations and the transmission grid. For example, the NYPA is installing a first-of-its-kind transmission control device at its Marcy Substation near Utica, N.Y.. "This convertible static compensator will use high-speed solid-state electronics to control electricity flow and permit more efficient use of existing transmission lines. It could revolutionize delivery of electricity in the competitive age," Zeltmann said.
"Another technological path is marked by various forms of localized, distributed generation such as fuel cells, rooftop solar photovoltaic systems and microturbines. In fact, for the first time in decades, the most economical way to add electric generating capacity could be to build small, efficient plants located near the end user."
The NYPA cogeneration, projects-which use heat left over from the generation process to supply more energy-include a 200kW fuel cell at a Westchester County wastewater treatment plant in Yonkers, N.Y. It's the first fuel cell in the Western Hemisphere to run on a gas produced in the sewage treatment process. By processing the gas, the fuel cell yields hydrogen, which combines with oxygen in a chemical reaction that produces electricity and hot water.
The First National Bank of Omaha, the seventh largest credit card processor in the country with 6.5 million customers, is using fuel cells as the primary power source at the firm's 200,000-sq-ft data center. The data center contains two redundant pairsof fuel cells, each about the size of a dumpster, and capable of producing 400kW of electric power. Since the center needs about 300kW to function, even if two of the four fuel cells failed, the bank would generate more than enough power to satisfy all its needs. A UPS and a diesel generator is the first backup; Omaha Public Power, the local electric utility, is the second backup.
At the same time, a dot.com or net-bank with a large power appetite can now turn to an electromechanical flywheel to replace one of its two redundant battery banks. An electromechanical flywheel, using one-tenth the floor space of an equivalent battery storage capacity, requires essentially no maintenance.
An electric motor runs, when there is power, to spin a one-ton steel flywheel. When the power fails, the motor reverses and becomes a generator, powered by the flywheel's inertia good for 250kW and more, for as long as it takes to power up the standby generator. This past summer, Constellation Energy (the Baltimore Gas and Electric Parent) installed a system as part of the UPS serving Comcast's critical cable and Internet hub facility.
Also on the horizon are mini-and micro-turbines, smaller versions of the aircraft engine, which run flat out, round-the-clock. Look forward to a 100-lb machine producing 400kW.
Tomorrow's power What can we look forward to? This is what the Huber/Mills Power report predicts: Half of all the electric systems will be anchored in the Internet Economy within the next decade. Once established, competition for proving reliability will grow. Clean 100kW to 1,000kW diesel generators, mini- and micro-turbines will first be standard equipment alongside the buildings that house ISP, dot.coms and network POPs. Not long after, they will appear in every other major business and factory and finally in apartment and residential developments.
How soon will this market be significant? Today more than 95% of all electricity comes from utility sources. The nation's grid has about 760mW of capacity. About 10%-some 80,000mW-is used (dispatched) only hours per year to support Three- Nines grid reliability.
Sitting on the grid, uncounted by the official counters and unnoticed by ordinary rate-payers, there already stands another 80,000mW of non-utility standby-generating capacity. It too is on only hours a year-right now. None of this capacity is included in official government data, and the raw capacity figures don't tell the whole story:
1.This capacity is privately owned; it's entirely free of price regulation.
2. Nevertheless, when regulatory conditions are favorable, it can pump power back into the grid for sale to others.
3. It offers short-wire, Six-Nines reliability and can command prices and margins to match.
The first two factors alone would spur very healthy growth in generator sales. But the third will push things way over the top.

INDIANAPOLIS - Ty Dillon pulled away from Kyle Busch down the stretch Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to win for the first time in the Nationwide Series.
Dillon passed Busch off the final restart with 25 laps and held on for his first victory in 31 career starts in NASCAR's second-tier series.
Busch made a hard charge in the final three laps but failed in a bid to win at the Brickyard for the second straight year. Matt Kenseth was third, followed by Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano.
Dillon won with grandfather and team owner Richard Childress and brother Austin Dillon rooting him on for the win.
'We get to kiss the bricks, baby!' he radioed as he crossed the finish line. Dillon parked his car on the famed yard of bricks and raised his arms toward the sky in triumph.

Michigan announces autism spectrum disorders plan
LANSING – The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and the Michigan Autism Council have released the Michigan Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) State Plan to address the many needs of the 16,000 students with ASD in the public school system and the 50,000 individuals and their families living with ASD in the state.
"Today marks another significant day for Michigan and our efforts to help families and individuals with autism," said Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley. "It was an honor to sign the autism insurance legislation last year and I'm glad to see that our efforts have not stopped there. We have a great opportunity in front of us with this plan. I'm eager to see the progress Michigan will continue to make."
The Michigan ASD State Plan was created by development and advisory committees led by Amy Matthews, Ph.D., of Grand Valley State University. The committees were comprised of 51 individuals. including the Michigan departments of community health, education, human services, and licensing and regulatory affairs, parents, adults on the autism spectrum, educators, agency/ organization professionals, health care providers, university faculty, state grant project staff, and state government personnel.
"This important first step, the Michigan ASD State Plan, will make a substantial difference in the lives of individuals with ASD and their families," said James K. Haveman, director of the MDCH. "Implementing the recommendations identified in this plan will require collaborative efforts across public and private sectors, and we know that as we work toward applying these goals in our state, we will be better equipped to serve Michigan residents."
Data used in the preparation of the plan was gathered from a variety of sources including literature reviews, other published reports and recommendations, parent and professional surveys, public input, and expert opinion.
"It is our hope and belief that this plan will prompt many individuals and organizations to be actively engaged with us to address the significant needs of all individuals with ASD in Michigan," said Colleen Allen, Ph.D., chair of the Michigan Autism Council and President/CEO of the Autism Alliance of Michigan. "The development committee gave years of volunteer service researching the needs of Michigan families and creating a plan that will greatly improve our systems of care for individuals with ASD and their families.
The key focus areas identified in the Michigan ASD State Plan are:
• Infrastructure: system, service, and resource coordination
• Family engagement and involvement
• Early identification and intervention services
• Educational supports and services
• Adult supports andservices
• Physical, mental, and behavioral health care
• Training and professional development
According to the MDCH, the development of the plan included identifying current best practices in supporting individuals with ASD of all ages, reviewing current practice in Michigan across key priority areas, identifying gaps between best practice and current practice in Michigan, and making recommendations for improving services and outcomes. The ultimate goal of this plan is to guide future planning, decision making, and resource allocation to meet the needs of individuals and families living with ASD.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The United States asked Turkey's leader to delay a Gaza Strip visit so as not to upset U.S. efforts to revive Ankara's ties with Israel and Middle East peace talks, Secretary of State John Kerry said on Sunday.
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, who has for years spoken of his desire to visit the Palestinian enclave, said last week he planned to go in late May after an official visit to the United States.
But Kerry said a Turkish visit to Gaza, controlled by the Hamas Islamist group which rejects Israel's existence, might distract from efforts to revive Middle East peace talks.
"With respect to the PM's potential visit to Gaza: We have expressed to the PM that we really think it would be better delayed and it shouldn't take place at this point in time," Kerry told a news conference in Istanbul.
"We thought that the timing of it is really critical with respect to the peace process we are trying to get off the ground and that we would like to see the parties begin with as little outside distraction as possible," he added.
Kerry has visited the region several times in recent weeks, holding talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Erdogan had been expected to visit Gaza this month but postponed his trip at the request of the United States. He will travel to Washington to meet President Barack Obama on May 16.
"I think the prime minister listened very graciously to that and he has been very thoughtful and sensitive about it and if needs be we certainly could have further conversations about it when he comes to Washington," Kerry added.
Hamas's refusal to recognize the Jewish state and past vows to destroy it are a key reason behind an Israeli blockade of the coastal territory since Hamas seized it from the more moderate pro-Western Fatah movement in 2007. Europe and the United States have long demanded Hamas drop violence and recognize Israel as a condition for any dialogue.
The planned trip would also come at a sensitive time for Turkish-Israeli relations.
Obama last month brokered a first step in reconciliation between the two former allies, whose relations were frozen after the 2010 killing by Israeli marines of nine Turks aboard a Gaza-bound aid ship.
Netanyahu apologized in March to his Turkish counterpart over the killings and pledged compensation to the bereaved, meeting a long-standing Turkish demand. Turkey, for its part, appeared to back off on a separate demand that Israel stop blockading Gaza.
An Israeli delegation will visit Turkey for the first time in three years this week in a sign of thawing relations and Kerry said he discussed with Turkish officials the importance of "completing the task" in renewing ties.
"Tomorrow there will be a meeting that begins to continue down that road and I look forward to a fruitful completion of that initiative," he said.
Kerry said he wanted to see an improvement in life on the ground in Gaza, bringing goods into the enclave, while moving to full diplomatic relations between Turkey and Israel.
"If allies who have differences have suddenly put those aside ... you have a much stronger ability to address other concerns that we may have," Kerry said, pointing to challenges posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions and civil war in Syria.
"There are huge reasons why it is beneficial for this rapprochement to be completed as soon as possible because it meets all of our strategic needs and interests," he added.

IGN: "Just before this year's Gamescom, I put out the call for Battlefield 4 questions for DICE. Nearly 2,500 comments later, I, erm, had quite a few to choose from. I picked a few specific questions as well as some common themes among the questions and hit Lars Gustavsson, the Creative Director at DICE with them during the show."
My question would be:
If this game going to be a rushed mess like BF3 and have GB's worth of patches and updates post launch to fix issues that shouldn't have been there in the first place?
If not then great. If so then no buy.
I´m glad they have in consideration the issue with the privates servers, many admins punish skill just because you get high streaks, or kill the ones that have high kill streaks on their teams, and the worse is that normaly the ones that kick you out or ban you, are 50+ colonels even 100 level colones that cannot stand that someone kill them only want to play against noobs, i hate that
will you again release a game which plays like a beta loaded with bugs just like with BF3?...
booooo rent-a-server is coming back...I don't care it is being revamp but I see this as another money grab from assholes gamers...

Oklahoma State Department of Education district and school site report evaluation
Report cards for Broken Arrow school sites can be found at oklaschools.com. These scores are based on test scores taken by students in the spring.
In 2011, the Oklahoma Legislature adopted an school grading system to provide incentives to schools for challenging all students to reach high levels of college and career readiness. This grading system is based on the concept that parents and community members should be able to quickly and easily determine how schools are performing.
The school report card is comprised of four sections: academic achievement, academic growth, English Language Proficiency Assessment progress, and chronic absenteeism for elementary and middle school sites, including the Broken Arrow Freshman Academy. The high school sections include academic achievement, English Language Proficiency Assessment progress, chronic absenteeism, graduation and post-secondary opportunities.

• ATM cash withdrawals
• Saving accounts, such as the M-Kesho account launched with Kenya's Equity Bank, paying interest and offering insurance and credit facilities to users.
• On premise, retail payments through the Nunua na M-PESA (Buy Goods) service, enabling subscribers to pay selected retailers such as Uchumi and Naivas supermarkets using M-Pesa.
• Mobile-ticketing booking and payment service for concerts and events.
• M-Pesa included in Safaricom's popular Bonga loyalty program, so M-Pesa users can earn points on chargeable transactions that can be redeemed for Safaricom telecom products and also air miles.
• Safaricom also offers corporate M-Pesa accounts that have higher transaction limits than for individual consumers. Corporate account holders can use M-Pesa to make bulk B2C payment and they can also receive funds and bill payments from individual M-Pesa users.
• M-Pesa has had notable success in Tanzania, where Vodacom Tanzania had 3.6 million M-Pesa customers out of its 11.6 million mobile subscribers as of June 2012, representing a mobile money penetration rate of 31 percent.
Strategic Partnerships
• Banking partners include: Cooperative Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank, Barclays Bank, Equity Bank, Family Bank, NIC Bank, Post Bank, Consolidated Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and CfC Stanbic Bank.
• Safaricom has also built up a strong, large, and motivated agent network to support M-Pesa, totaling 60,000 agents in 1H 2013. Agents are vital to the success of mobile money services in emerging markets because they undertake the critical task of converting cash to electronic money and vice versa, which is essential for low-income customers in cash-based economies.
• In addition, Safaricom has a global alliance with Western Union that allows M-Pesa customers to receive international money transfers from 45 countries and territories including the United States, Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Monetization/Success Metrics
• Banking services supported by M-Pesa also impose charges on end-users (costs vary from bank to bank), and Safaricom gains an undisclosed revenue share on these transactions.
• Safaricom revenues from M-Pesa user transaction fees are balanced against the commission that it must pay to agents supporting those transactions.
• 15.23 million customers compared to 14.87 million in H1 2012
• M-Pesa ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) at Ksh115, compared to Ksh92 for H1 2012
• Ksh80 billion in transfers transacted between customers in September 2012, equivalent 31 percent of Kenya's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Health care robotics collaboration presented at national conference
Saeed Khan, associate professor of engineering technology, presented a paper at the 2013 American Association of Engineering Education's national conference in Atlanta, Ga.
Along with his co-authors Lee and Beverly Gatton of Gatton Research and Development, Khan described a model of collaboration between entrepreneurs and academics in which a key goal is to create undergraduate research opportunities by forming industry-academe partnerships in applied research.
Any successful undergraduate research program requires a certain amount of faculty expertise, proper funding and challenging projects that are good motivational drivers for students. The paper describes a yearlong effort to develop applied research partnerships with entrepreneurs in the healthcare industry while at the same time jointly seeking external funding from government and non-government entities.
The paper documented the early stage of a project that is designed to inexpensively enhance eldercare, the demand for which is skyrocketing in today's aging society, using robotic platforms. This project addresses a real-world need while providing students the opportunity to make an original intellectual or creative contribution, having all the elements that drive quality research and attract faculty, student and entrepreneurial interest alike.
It is motivated by the need to control home health care costs, improve the quality of life for an aging population and their caregivers, allow patients to be more involved in their own care, help prevent premature hospitalization or long stays in assisted living facilities and provide an avenue for social engagement through a conversational interface using socially assistive robots. It expounds on efforts to create a research infrastructure through research and collaborative grant writing.
Khan will also serve as a co-author with Lee Gatton at the upcoming American Association of Engineering Education Midwest Conference to be Sept. 18-20 in Salina. The paper will describe a two-year research effort in the area of socially assistive robotic technology in reducing in-home health care costs, which continue to rise. The project focuses on interfacing commercially available physiological sensors, such as for blood pressure or heart rate, with a mobile robotic platform that is equipped with a conversational interface.
This conversational interface will engage the user to remind them of measurement times, reschedule times as required, and provide feedback and encouragement all done in a conversational manner. This is done to keep the user involved and participating in their healthcare and their well-being. This is necessary because a program of continually monitoring one's own healthcare parameters can become very tedious and the temptation to forgo the monitoring process begins to grow as time progresses.

While Week 7 lacked the GIFable moments of Week 6, there certainly was a healthy amount of craziness in the NFL to fill up this column. So rather than blather on pointlessly in an intro and throw some obscure pop culture references into the mix, talk about Tim Tebow, or discuss Peyton Manning vs. Andrew Luck, let's just get to the action. After all -- it's Fifth Down.
Forget David Blaine, Alex Smith is the master of illusion
The Chiefs barely escaped the Houston Texans on Sunday, but they were able to emerge victorious thanks to Alex Smith performing some old fashioned trickery to get them into the endzone. Smith took a second quarter snap and faked the handoff ... to no one before running into the endzone. I particularly love Smith's commitment to the fake. Clearly something went awry on this play. But man was it good fun watching Smith stand there like a deer in headlights before getting a large enough dose of courage to run for his life into the endzone. However, in the off chance this play was designed by Andy Reid in a BBQ-induced dream and executed to perfection by Smith, it may just top my previous pick for play-fake of the year.
What in the world is a Jarrett Boykin?
Unless you're a serious Cheesehead (or a fantasy football waiver wire savant), it's highly unlikely you've heard of Boykin before. Well, that should change after today. Boykin helped spark a Packers offense that was without James Jones and Randall Cobb due to injuries. One week after Tom Brady hooked up with Kenbrell Thompkins to put away the Saints, Aaron Rodgers found Boykin eight times for 103 yards receiving and a late touchdown that put away the Browns in the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field. This game was yet another example that great quarterbacks make their receivers better, and regardless of where Brandon Weeden plays he will complete more rocket passes to the turf than his teammates.
Defenses make their case
Either the defenses of the NFL were sick and tired of hearing how this is an offensive league, or as Mike Silver joked, throwing "Matt Schaub's" might be a rapidly spreading viral epidemic:
There's another pick 6. The Schaub outbreak is spreading. Call CDC.â Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) October 20, 2013
There were five, five, interceptions returned for touchdowns in the early games alone. To top it off, the St. Louis Rams forced the ninth safety of the season and the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers each returned a fumble for a touchdown. Defenses definitely made a statement on Sunday...
... except when it came to covering Calvin Johnson
I mean, come on. That's just not fair.
Also, did you see Megatron and A.J. Green trade jerseys after the game as if they were playing in the World Cup? The picture alone is almost too much greatness for one computer monitor to handle. Seriously, I wish more NFL players would take on this tradition. How great would it be to see Manning and Luck swap jerseys after Sunday Night Football? Almost as great as it would have been to see Brady and Brees swap jerseys last week, with Rob Ryan sobbing uncontrollably in the background.
Matt Birk: Lineman can be really, really ridiculously good-looking too
|Yes, that is a former NFL center, and no it does not make me feel guilty about eating Chipotle earlier today. (Image courtesy of Visalus/)
Matt Birk went out on top, retiring after 15 seasons in the NFL following a Super Bowl win with the Baltimore Ravens last season. So what has the former center done with his retirement? He decided to audition for a part in Zoolander 2. OK, maybe not, but Birk has shed 75 pounds according to the Ravens' website, and is currently in the running to be the cover model for Visalus, a fitness magazine. NFL center to male model? Yeah, that's a natural progression. If Birk wants to get serious about his modeling though, he may have to give up that all-American smile in favor of a look that can best say "Magnum."
Jaguars finding new ways to impress the NFL... with their mediocrity
One week after putting out an excellent effort against the Denver Broncos, the Jaguars returned home to face the Chargers, and laid an absolute egg. In three home games this season, the Jaguars offense has scored just nine points. Nine! For the Chargers, Philip Rivers did everything to help his team get a win. Including trying to not-so-cleverly hide Mike McCoy's errant challenge flag. The only way it could have been better was if Rivers got as animated as he typically does on the sidelines, perhaps faking an injury and covering up the flag in dramatic fashion. Regardless, the challenge didn't matter and the Chargers got the win. Sorry, Jacksonville.
Today in obscure NFL rules
Geno Smith and the New York Jets toppled Tom Brady and the Patriots on Sunday in overtime, 30-27. No, that is not a typo. The Jets were able to win in overtime when Nick Folk got a mulligan on his missed field goal, because the Patriots commited a new foul in the NFL: one of their players pushed another player into the offensive formation to gain leverage on the field goal. It seems ticky-tack, but it is in fact, a rule. So be quiet, Patriots fans. You've been on the opposite end of a similar call before.
Devin Hester ties Primetime's record for return touchdowns
Devin Hester is a beast. All he did with the return to the right was tie Deion Sanders' record for the most return touchdowns in NFL history. Considering Hester is only 30-years-old, there's a good chance he takes sole possession of that record before his playing days are done. Plus, he has Primetime's blessing to break the record, so there's that.
|Alfred Morris ran with heart against the Bears, but was stabbed in the back by Mike Shanahan when it came to getting in the endzone. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon/)
Fantasy Football sacrificial lamb of the week: Alfred Morris
Poor Freddy Morris. Sure, he ran for 95 yards on 19 carries, serving as the workhorse to motor the Washington Redskins offense to victory. But Morris, and his fantasy owners, fell victim to yet another case of Shanahanigans, as it was Roy Helu who scored not one, not two, but three rushing touchdowns in the Redskins victory over the visiting Chicago Bears. Instead of having a game-changing fantasy day, Morris had to take one on the chin so his team could get the win. Morris took it like a champ, however, and will be rolling home in style in his new tricked out Mazda that he lovingly refers to as "Bentley."

Using scanner in Gutsy is much easier compare to Feisty. XSane program is included in the Gutsy package, so you don't have to download the program. When I used Xsane in Feisty, the program recognized my scanner, but it could not run the scanner.
My scanner is CanoScan LiDE 20 (from Canon). The CD package is only available for Win* and Macintosh. When I use with Xsane in Ubuntu Gutsy, it is recognized as CanoScan 1240U/flatbed scanner.
Before I start, I assume that:
You use Ubuntu Gutsy
Xsane has installed already.
How to use it?
Step1. Plug in the USB Cable Scanner to your PC.
Step2. Run Xsane.
Xsane will search your scanner device.
The detected device will be displayed on the screen.
Select your scanner device name and click OK.
If you are success, you will have the same screen like below.
Step3. Scan your picture.
Open the scanner cover lid, put picture that you want to scan.
100 is your scan resolution.
Setting 735*120*48 will create 2.1MB file size.
The higher you set the resolution the bigger file size you will have.
When I tried to scan with 1600, I have 500MB file for the picture file size.
Click 'Acquire Preview' to preview the picture.
Re-select your scanning area.
Click scan to start.
The scanning process will start and the time will depend on file size.
Click Green Disk icon (at the top left) to save the result.

Hi everyone.
Thanks for letting me join this forum, there's heaps I need to learn about Java. I am currently in my 1st year of a Bachelors Degree in IT at CQUniversity. The programming is about the only thing I am liking about the whole thing so far. I would think it will be some time before I am capable of helping anyone with coding problems but for now I want to learn as much as I can. I usually come across something that stumps me when playing around with coding.

As more investors move to cash as a defensive move against another possible downturn, U.S. regulators have asked some banks to take more deposits from large investors even if it's unprofitable. Bloomberg reports lenders in return are seeking relief on insurance premiums and leverage ratios.
"Deposits are flooding into the biggest U.S. banks as customers seek shelter from Europe's debt crisis and falling stock prices," according to the news service. "That forces lenders to raise capital for a growing balance sheet and saddles them with the higher deposit insurance payments. With short-term interest rates so low, it's hard for financial firms to reinvest the new money profitably."
Bloomberg cites three people familiar with negotiations between regulators and lenders, who say regulators have asked banks to take the deposits anyway, with one lender accepting $100 billion. The regulators want lenders to take the deposits because it improves the stability of the financial system, according to the sources, who said U.S. banks are viewed as places of strength.
"Some of the largest ones have talked with regulators about softening rules for ratios that measure capital and assets," according to Bloomberg. "At least one asked for a waiver on paying higher premiums to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which is less likely to be granted."
"If the helicopter comes raining money on your bank and it's only temporarily there, it could be excessively costly and disruptive," said Robert Litan, a vice president of research and policy at the Kansas City, Mo.-based Kauffman Foundation, which promotes entrepreneurial business practices.
The news service reports cash held by domestically chartered U.S. banks, which includes Federal Reserve balances, rose to a record $1.02 trillion earlier this month, up 27 percent from the end of July last year. Deposits held by the 25 largest lenders expanded to $4.69 trillion in the week ended Aug. 10, up 8.5 percent from the end of May. The Fed's balances advanced to $1.61 trillion as of Aug. 24, from $1.05 trillion a year earlier.

It's now officially time to get serious about filing your 2011 Form 1040, especially if you expect a refund. Here are five little-known write-offs that could make your refund bigger or cut what you owe.
Also See
1. Medicare Insurance and Long-Term Care Premiums
You can claim a Schedule A itemized deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses, including health insurance premiums, to they extent they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, or AGI. (AGI is the number at the bottom of Page 1 of your Form 1040.) The 7.5%-of-AGI hurdle may seem insurmountable, but seniors can often clear it--especially if they remember to include the following in the medical expense pot:
*Premiums for Medicare Part B coverage. For 2011, the per-person Part B premium for most folks was $96.40 per month ($1,157 for the year). For higher-income folks, the premium could be as much as $369.10 per month ($4,429 for the year).
*Premiums for Medicare Part C coverage (so-called Medicare Advantage HMO-type coverage).
*Premiums for Medicare Part D coverage (for prescription drugs).
*Premiums for Medicare supplemental insurance (so-called Medigap coverage).
*Premiums for qualified long-term care insurance, subject to the following age-based limits for each covered person.
|Age of Covered Person on 12/31/11
|Deductible Limit
|40 or younger
|41 to 50
|51 to 60
|61 to 70
|71 and up
Sources: IRS instructions to Schedule A and IRS Publication 502 (Medical and Dental Expenses).
2. Medical Expenses Paid by Someone Else
As explained above, you can only deduct unreimbursed medical expenses to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your AGI. In a 2010 Tax Court decision, the IRS argued that a daughter could not deduct some medical expenses because she did not pay for them with her own money. Instead, her mother covered the expenses by directly paying the medical service providers. The Tax Court disagreed. The facts of the case demonstrated that the mother intended the payments to be gifts. Therefore, the Tax Court characterized the transactions as gifts from the mother to the daughter followed by payment of the expenses by the daughter with the gifted funds. So the daughter was allowed to count $24,559 of medical expenses that were actually paid by her mother in calculating her medical expense deduction. Source: Judith Lang, TC Memo 2010-286 (2010).
Important Point: When you directly pay medical expenses for a person who is your dependent (meaning you pay over 50% of that person's total support for the year), you can add the expenses you pay for the dependent to your own expenses and claim a deduction for the total to the extent it exceeds 7.5% of your AGI. That rule would have applied to the mother in this case if the daughter had been the mother's dependent. Apparently she was not, so the deduction for the daughter's expenses belonged to the daughter rather than the mother.
3. Real Estate Taxes Paid by Someone Else
The daughter in the 2010 Tax Court decision mentioned above was also allowed to claim an itemized deduction for $5,508 of local real estate taxes that were paid directly to the taxing authorities by her mother. Once again, the facts of the case demonstrated that the mother intended the payments to be gifts. Therefore, the Tax Court characterized the transactions as gifts from the mother to the daughter followed by payment of the taxes by the daughter with the gifted funds. So the daughter was allowed to deduct the taxes that were actually paid by the mother. Source: Judith Lang, TC Memo 2010-286 (2010).
4. Home Mortgage Points Paid by Someone Else
Assuming you itemize deductions, you can write off points (including loan origination fees) that you pay to take out a mortgage to buy your principal residence. Surprisingly enough, you can also deduct mortgage points paid by the seller on your behalf to sweeten the deal. In fact, the IRS actually requires you to claim the deduction. If this happened to you last year, don't ask questions! Just follow the government's directions and claim a deduction for the seller-paid points on Line 10 or 12 of your Schedule A. Source: IRS Revenue Procedure 94-27.
5. Fees to Charge Taxes to Your Credit Card
Surprisingly enough, the IRS says you can treat credit card convenience fees paid to charge personal income tax bills (including estimated tax payments) as miscellaneous itemized deduction items reported on Line 23 of your Schedule A. Source: IRS instructions to Schedule A. This favorable rule apparently applies to fees to charge both federal and state income taxes. However, you only get a write-off to the extent your total miscellaneous itemized deductions exceed 2% of AGI (other miscellaneous expenses include unreimbursed employee business expenses, union dues, job hunting expenses, fees for tax preparation and advice, and investment expenses). Fill out lines 21-27 of Schedule A to see if you can benefit from claiming miscellaneous itemized deductions.

When I was in college I worked as a security guard in an art museum. God, it was boring. Each day I would wander quiet, empty rooms on the brink of falling asleep standing up.
My guess is that many of you endure a similar situation. Like getting up for work in the morning and going through your day in a blurry, sleepy fog. Perhaps that nightmare could be avoided if you had one of the following devices:
