Apple Music Help Pages: What to Know
This is the Apple Music help page where most customers begin when they have a customer service problem, plus information about what the turnaround time is for helpful responses and how to find assistance for your specific problem. If you are looking for Apple Music's best customer help page or faq or forum, this is the best entry point according to 1,158 GetHuman users in the last 12 months. Sometimes when you dig through the various help topics and volumes on getsupport.apple.com, you end up needing to go back and forth with somebody in their customer service department, in which case they may switch to email as the medium for communication. In the event that your search here on their help pages turns into an email conversation, you can expect the turnaround for fixing the issue to be a bit on the slower side. You may go several hours or a day without getting a reply from Apple Music agents. But on the bright side that back and forth can turn out to be less time overall, than, say, getting on the phone with a customer service representative.

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Tim Duncan poured in a game-high 31 points with 11 rebounds to help the San Antonio Spurs to their 16th consecutive win over the Washington Wizards with a 125-118 decision in double- overtime on Wednesday night.
Duncan fouled out early in the second overtime, but Patty Mills and Danny Green picked up the slack in his place. Mills finished with 23 points and Green contributed 22 points for the Spurs, who have won three straight.
"That's one of the finest wins I've ever been associated with," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said.
Marco Belinelli added 14 points off the bench in the win.
John Wall scored 29 points to pace Washington, which had its two-game winning streak snapped. Bradley Beal had 19 points, Trevor Ariza had 15 points with 10 boards, and Nene added 12 points in the setback.
"We became undisciplined in the second half," Wizards head coach Randy Wittman said.
The Spurs jumped out to a lead to start the first overtime and Martell Webster hit a 3 to cut into the deficit, but Mills made a 15-foot jumper at the other end for a 108-104 lead with 2 1/2 minutes to play.
Marcin Gortat then missed a pair of free throws on Washington's next touch and Mills buried a corner triple to push the margin to 111-104.
Wall made two free throws, then Nene split a pair on the following trip after he stripped Tiago Splitter and was fouled on the fastbreak to cut the deficit to four with 1:11 left.
Duncan hit a jumper and Wall made two straight layups for a two-point deficit, but Belinelli knocked down a pair of free throws with 8.7 seconds left.
Wall made a reverse layup, then stole the ensuing inbounds pass at halfcourt and raced down the floor for a layup to tie the game at 113-113 with 1.9 ticks to force another period.
Mills opened the scoring in the second extra session with a pair of free throws before Nene knotted it back up with a pair of his own.
Belinelli broke a 117-117 tie with a jumper before Green buried a corner 3 to make it a five-point game with 1:16 remaining in the second overtime.
Washington missed all 10 of its field goal attempts in the second overtime and Mills and Green made 3-of-4 from the line in the final minute to continue the Spurs' dominance over the Wizards.
Earlier, San Antonio cut into a double-digit halftime deficit by scoring the first eight points in the third quarter. Cory Joseph made a jumper with 3:48 left in the third for the Spurs' first lead since early in the first.
The lead changed hands a few times over the next couple of minutes and Garret Temple knocked down a jumper to help the Wizards to carry an 83-82 lead to the fourth.
An Ariza dunk staked the Wizards to a 99-94 lead with 2:40 remaining in the fourth, but Mills hit a 3 and Duncan made a jumper to tie the game at 99-99 with just over a minute left to close the scoring in regulation.
Washington outscored San Antonio 33-25 in the first quarter and led 62-48 at halftime.
Game Notes
Washington's last win over the Spurs came on Nov. 12, 2005 ... Wall had nine assists in the loss ... San Antonio guard Tony Parker left in the second quarter with tightness in his back ... Washington was 44-for-101 from the field and San Antonio made 48-of-98 attempts from the field.

From booze to broccoli, Lower Mainland shoppers are increasingly heading south for their purchases, and price is the main motivator.
Roughly three-quarters of Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley residents made at least one trip to Washington state, often to Blaine or Bellingham, to shop during the past year, according to a poll by Insights West, a marketing research company. More than one-fifth of respondents reported shopping in the U.S. more often than in previous years.
Why? Nine of 10 respondents who made the trip south of the border said lower prices motivated their excursions.
"Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley shoppers are very conscious that retail prices in the U.S. are often better than in Canada," said Catherine Dawson, a senior vice-president with Insights West.
Virtually every respondent said gas purchases were part of their cross-border trips. Regular gas at a Shell station in Burnaby cost $1.36 per litre on Tuesday, but went for the equivalent of $1 per litre at a Tesoro station in Bellingham.
Groceries are another key item, with 91 per cent of Lower Mainland residents who drive to the U.S. in a typical year making a grocery stop while there.
The price disparity between a Safeway in downtown Vancouver and a Haggen grocery store in Bellingham reveals why: Roughly $3 vs. $2 for a two-litre carton of milk, $10 vs. $8 for 454 grams of chicken breasts, $3 vs. $2 for the same weight in broccoli and an incredible $18 vs. $6 for 900 grams of cheddar cheese, taxes not included.
The relatively low cost of alcohol in the U.S. is well-known. A 750-ml bottle of Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey costs less than $14 at a Bellingham liquor store, but nearly $25 at a B.C. Liquor store in downtown Vancouver, taxes included. Cross-border customers could shell out $10 for a bottle of Columbia Crest Chardonnay and just over $8 for a six-pack of Budweiser cans in Bellingham, instead of about $16 and $13 north of the 49th parallel for the exact same products, respectively.
A gap in book prices is also evident. A hardcover copy of Fifty Shades of Grey costs about $16 before tax at a Bellingham Barnes & Noble, but $32 at a Vancouver Chapters.
The poll also showed a strong Canadian dollar, as well as recently relaxed duty-free rules provided an impetus to shop on U.S. soil.
Metro Vancouverites were just as likely as Fraser Valley residents to make frequent shopping trips, "which was surprising because I would have expected to see people from the Fraser Valley going more," Dawson said.
The study did not assess whether people in White Rock or Abbotsford drove down more often than residents of North Vancouver or West Vancouver.
"Probably, we would see some differences," she said.
Dawson also said more than one-third of respondents even keep an address or mailbox to pick up lower-cost American merchandise mail-ordered free of international delivery fees.
"They could easily have a relative or friends down there whose place they use for that kind of thing."
So why don't all Lower Mainland residents go south for their purchases?
"It costs time," said Keith Head, a professor at the University of B.C.'s Sauder School of Business. "And for day trips, boy, people don't like to go very far. Half of all day trippers (in Canada) won't travel more than 25 kilometres for their stuff.
"As a result of that, you get a lot of people who are still shopping at home," he said.
The Insights West poll showed that while a large majority agree that cross-border shopping is hurting B.C.'s economy, only one in four hold that view strongly and just half agree it is costing Canadians jobs.

Of course Obama is a progressive.... But, by nature, he is also an independent thinker, and he listens to all sides. One of his most distinctive features is that he is a minimalist, not in the sense that he always favors small steps (he doesn't), but because he prefers solutions that can be accepted by people with a wide variety of theoretical inclinations.He is infinitely complex, people. It's you that need to get up to speed. Readjust. Visionary minimalism makes everything right.
When he offers visionary approaches, he does so as a visionary minimalist -- that is, as someone who attempts to accommodate, rather than to repudiate, the defining beliefs of most Americans. His reluctance to challenge people's deepest commitments might turn out to be what makes ambitious plans possible--notwithstanding the hopes of the far left and the cartoons of the far right.
And, no, it's not a new round of triangulation. Don't pin that on the new man:
Just as he resists ideological templates, Obama does not believe in "triangulation"; his skepticism about conventional ideological categories is principled, not strategic.(Did that hurt, Bill?)
Obama does not follow old-line political orthodoxies. Above all, Obama's form of pragmatism is heavily empirical; he wants to know what will work.That can't be wrong.
[I]n his empiricism, his curiosity, his insistence on nuance, and his lack of dogmatism, Obama is indeed a sort of anti-Bush--and perhaps the best kind. If the Bush administration has often operated on the basis of the president's "instinct," we should expect to see, from Obama, a rigorously evidence-based government....If I could know that's all true, I would vote for Obama. But it could just as well be a guise, a cover, to get me to fall for something I'm not going to want at all. After you do all that listening and evidence-collecting and cogitating, you still have to make the call. It can't be pure science. The instincts will tip the answers one way or the other. But Cass Sunstein insists that there's a rejection of doctrinal filters. I don't know that it is possible to think without something like a "doctrinal filter." But maybe it's possible that Obama does -- or at least comes closer to unfiltered thinking than anyone else is likely to do.
The larger point is that Obama's departures from left-wing orthodoxy should not be understood as a betrayal of his own beliefs, or as a kind of "tacking to the center." Instead, they reflect something altogether different: an independence of mind, and a rejection of doctrinal filters, that we do not often see in candidates for public office.
ADDED: This isn't the first time Sunstein has expatiated on Obama's "visionary minimalism" in TNR. Here's his piece from last January.

Topic: Bolsheviks
Almost one-third of Russians believe the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 jumpstarted the country's development and opened a new page in its history, according to a poll published on Tuesday, RIA Novosti reports.
However, the share of respondents with a positive view of the revolution has declined over the past decade, from 34 to 27 percent, the All-Russia Center for the Study of Public Opinion on Social and Economic Issues (VTsIOM) poll said.
At the same time the share of the people who see the revolution as "a catastrophe for our country" has increased from 10 percent to 18 percent. About 43 percent of respondents said the root cause of the revolution was the miserable life of the people with 17 percent saying a weak government was a factor and 11 percent blaming the Bolsheviks' "political unscrupulousness."
Some 40 percent said the revolution, though a mixed blessing, was inevitable, while 37 percent believed the needless loss of human life and the trouble it caused meant there was no justification for it. Eighteen percent said they would observe Revolution Day on November 7, compared to 16 percent who said they would celebrate National Unity Day on November 4.

Q. What's this all been like for you?
A. It's cool. If I wasn't myself and looked at me through another perspective, I think it would be really amazing. I haven't really let it soak in. I've been taking it as it comes. I guess the only feeling I have is that I'm hungry, I want more. You know, I want to prove, I want to do more.
Q. Did you think it could happen this quickly?
A. Yeah, there was a definite possibility. The possibility that I thought of more is that I would play right tackle, if I were to play. If anything, it wouldn't have happened this fast.
Q. Anybody trash-talking you?
A. No, not really. I knew a bunch of the Niners; they knew my brother so they just told me to tell my brother what's up. I went against Orakpo the whole time (in the Redskins game). He was a pretty cool guy. He came up to me in the middle of when we were playing and said, "I like you. You keep battling. I like this battle." And then after the game he goes, "You're a real good player, a good young player. Keep it up." I said thank you; you, too.
Q. You said you like to annoy defensive linemen. Have you annoyed anyone so far?
A. I've tried. I like to think I do every time but I mean that's part of almost our job description. I learned a couple of good quotes from my old coach. "Friction is your friend." The more time they spend dealing with you is less time they spend making a play. And then, you know, "Get in the way." That's the dumbed-down version of what our job is to do, get in the way.
Q. What's the toughest part of having to play so quickly?
A. You have one opportunity; you want to make the most of your opportunity and I don't want to look back and be like, all right, I had this shot but it didn't work out. I've tried as hard as I can to not fool around, because I can't afford to do that, whereas a veteran, they already know what's going on, they've been there, done that. I think I have a really good quarterback who helps me out cause he's getting the ball out and he's doing what he's doing, he's doing his job. That's different for me. I don't want to downplay the quarterbacks I blocked for, but they used to hold onto the ball for a long time and they used to be anywhere in the pocket. So for me, it's almost a breath of fresh air.
Q. Are you satisfied with your play?
A. I wouldn't say satisfied, but I'm happy. Satisfied kind of goes along the line of being content. I'm certainly not content, but I am pleased with how I've performed thus far.
Q. Did you have a favorite player?
A. When I was young, I used to think I liked the skilled players, but I never was a skill player, I was basically an offensive lineman since they gave me pads, which was my freshman year in high school. I don't know if I want this on record; the only person I really liked as an offensive lineman that I tried to really pattern my game around was Joe Staley. I had a chance to meet him, and even in college my coach said my play reminded him of Joe, and he made me study him, too. I was just happy cause you know it was my hometown back then. I was a 49ers fan. He's got the recipe for success. And I'm all about picking and choosing from different people their recipes of success.
Q. You're not a 49ers fan now?
A. No, no. My family liked them a lot, but it got to a point where once I declared for the league I knew I didn't have a team anymore. At that point it was more of a job for me. You have to like your highest payer, essentially. Whoever pays me the most is the team I like. Right now, the Packers will hold dear in my heart because they were the first team to draft me, too.
Q. What's been the highlight for you so far?
A. Just playing; it's cool. It's kind of going from no one really cares that they're playing the Colorado Buffaloes, to everyone wants to give their hardest against the Green Bay Packers.
Q. Did you feel snubbed when you lasted into the fourth round?
A. Yeah, I declared early because I was pretty much going to be a second rounder. Talking to everyone and even my agent said you're not going to go past the third, we know that. And I was confident in my testing. I know I'm not a freak so I knew I wouldn't be a top 15 guy, but I knew I was a very good player and I was confident in myself, and I thought second round sounds very good to me. And that's when I got my reviews back from the junior draft evaluation, and when I declared my agent said the same thing, and even my coaches that were in the league all gave me kind of the same breakdown. Then interviews went good, combine, I can't think of one thing I did wrong. It was kind of like a gut shot, but I kind of almost like it now cause I want to prove people wrong. I didn't pick up pads until my freshman year of high school. I backed up my oldest brother, so I was always the backup. My coach told me junior year, he said I would never play; as long as he was the head coach I would never step foot on the field. Then senior year came around and I was about 6-4, 240. I got his attention when we were benching and I threw up 255, which in high school is a good amount. I just kept on working hard, working hard, and ended up getting a starting spot.
Q. What's the next level for you?
A. My goal is to be a dependable left tackle, a franchise left tackle, and the Green Bay Packers will feel comfortable knowing I can sufficiently do my job, and know they can count on me. It's probably one of those positions that takes the longest time to build that relationship. I wouldn't say they're uncomfortable with me right now, but I would say it just kind of takes a while. It's one of those bonds that's going to take a while. I need to finish out this year consistently and, hopefully, move closer to that we can count on you all the time type of thing.

Treasure Chest Thursday -- Coverlet by Betsey E. Adams, 1849
We are not sure why Betsey spelled her last name as Addams instead of Adams, but without a doubt, she is the same person. Claire, the owner, wrote, "The size of the coverlet 70" X 90" width. It was (from what I read) sewed together down the middle. The coverlet has in the opposite front corner of the name the same name/date/county but backwards. The condition of the coverlet is pretty good."
On the day I did my blog, Claire also wrote, "I was told by my parents it was a gift to my parents handed down years ago at the time they were married. They have been married 58 yrs. I have been searching on line a couple of weeks now and came across yours today! I too wondered about the Adams family name since my dad thinks he heard that Betsey E Adams was a descendant of ? some Adams in history of ? background!!" That last statement ties into what I've always heard. Our John Adams is somehow related to the President. What I never mentioned was the fact that in our foyer was an etching or drawing, of John Quincy Adams...he was the first thing I saw every time I entered the house. And why in the heck, did we move to Lexington, Massachusetts (a town where John Q. Adams visited)? Is there a connection? I need a detective to figure this mystery.
I am very happy that Claire picked the very day that my blog was posted to do a Google search. Because of that, I now have a 5th cousin, once removed.
Additional information about Betsey's family:
Betsey E. ADAMS (Horace ADAMS2, JOHN ADAMS1) was born NOV 1830 in New York, and died 18 FEB 1906 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York. She was buried in Stafford Rural Cemetery, Stafford, Genesee Co., halfway between Batavia and LeRoy, NY.. She married Orin Joseph DEWOLF, son of Orin Clemens DEWOLF and Nancy Zobedia PERKINS. He was born 14 MAR 1830 in New York, and died 1892 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York. He was buried in Stafford Rural Cemetery, Stafford, Genesee Co., halfway between Batavia and LeRoy, New York.
Children of Betsey E. ADAMS and Orin Joseph DEWOLF are:
2 i. Herbert L. DEWOLF was born 16 MAY 1856 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York, and died 4 MAY 1886 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York.
3 ii. Ada L. DEWOLF was born 1859 in New York, and died 1943.
+ 4 iii. Charles Freemond DEWOLF was born 1861 in New York, and died ABT 12 MAR 1913 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York.
5 iv. Frank S. DEWOLF was born JUN 1863 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York, and died 1943.
6 v. Maryette DEWOLF was born 1865 in New York, and died 10 APR 1887 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York.
7 vi. Fred L. DEWOLF was born 24 JAN 1867 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York, and died 14 APR 1895 in Stafford, Genesee Co., New York.
8 vii. Howard DEWOLF was born AFT 1867 in New York, and died BEF 1900.

Keep working on that family story! It took me 30 years to prove my Boston/Hawaii connection, and I never gave up. Also, I have some Adamses in my family tree, and I've seen it spelled both ways, too. That coverlet is precious!

A recent episode of Antiques Roadshow had a similar coverlet from about 1830 - I had never seen one before!

It seems from what I've read and talking to others that people didn't always spell their name the same, and that they might just decide to change the way they spelled it, too. My husband's family had a branch that decided their Deffenbaugh name was too long, so shortened it to Defabaugh. My mother's brother, born in 1908, changed his name from Darrell to Daryl, she said. (I always knew him as Daryl). My husband's family changed theirs from Klein to Kline at some point about four generations back...

Thanks all for your comments. I agree about the spelling, but her father and grandfather both spelled it as Adams. Fortunately, I have enough info. on Betsey. The search continues.

You have so many fascinating lines. I love the coverlet and how smart was Betsey to have the foresight to name and date her work. Can you imagine the countless hours it must have taken her to make this coverlet.

- Barbara said...
Lindalee, Too much work for me, and I totally agree about the date and name. Gee, I wonder if she made it just prior to her marriage, I'll have to check. Thanks for posting your lovely items on Thursday.

I love that coverlet. I've only seen reproductions.

Thank you Kathleen for writing. I would love to see it, but it is about a 7 hr. drive away, darn.

Let's assume the Oilers can win out their remaining three games (1 against Los Angeles, 2 against Calgary). How much help would they need from their opposition?
Let's take a quick glance at the standings and the attainable playoff spots:
7. Anaheim – 2GR, 88 PTS
8. Nashville – 3GR, 86 PTS
9. St. Louis – 3GR, 86 PTS
10. Minnesota – 3GR, 83 PTS
11. Edmonton – 3GR, 83 PTS
And here are the remaining schedules of those teams:
- Anaheim: vs. Stars, @ Coyotes
- Nashville: vs. Chicago, @ Detroit, @ Minnesota
- St. Louis: @ Coyotes, vs. Blue Jackets, @ Avalanche
- Minnesota: vs. Stars, vs. Predators, @ Blue Jackets
Finally, here are the NHL tie-breakers:
1. Greater number of wins.
2. Winner of the season series, or in the event of a three (or more) way tie, best record in games against the tied teams.
3. Goal differential.
With that in mind then, any two of these events would eliminate the Oilers from the playoffs, even if they were to win every last one of their remaining games:
1. Anaheim wins or loses in overtime to Dallas or Phoenix. They only need one point, since they have the tie-breaker with Edmonton.
2. Nashville records three points; they won the season series with Edmonton so they need only one win and an overtime loss to be unreachable.
3. St. Louis records four points, in whatever manner. The Oilers own the tie-breaker (wins) if they win out.
4. Minnesota wins out; they own the tie-breaker with Edmonton.
Keep in mind that this is the best case scenario; each of those four teams would have to do considerably less if the Oilers don't go 3-0 to close off the season.
Sports Club Stats does an excellent breakdown of the probabilities. Even if the Oilers win every game from here on out, they only give them a 21% chance of making the playoffs. If they lose even one point, finishing 2-0-1, those chances drop from 21% to 4%.
Both of those are unlikely finishes, though. Based on their season to date, the Oilers have a 2.8% chance of making the playoffs. Put another way, we can be 97.2% sure that they won't make the playoffs. It's over.

Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to the article printed in your August 12 issue about the Animal Life Savers, Inc. organization and the work they are doing to help lessen the stray animal population. I applaud Elainne Samman and her mom, Barbara Bellino, in their efforts to get a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) program adopted in North Bergen. It is sorely needed and I would urge the Mayor and the Town Spokesman to re-evaluate their positions on this issue and become TNR friendly.
There is most definitely a stray/feral cat problem in North Bergen. I see them on a daily basis and I talk to other residents who say the same thing. It is so difficult to get people to adopt these stray animals and if we allow them to continue to reproduce unchecked then the situation can surely only get worse. It is truly the humane thing to do for the animals... especially with winter right around the corner. Let's do something to save future generations from a life of starvation and suffering.

Japan's transport ministry says Boeing 787 planes are being grounded for safety checks in the latest blow for the new passenger jet.
One of the 787s operated by All Nippon Airways made an emergency landing Wednesday in western Japan after a cockpit message showed battery problems — the latest in a series of problems including a battery fire and fuel leaks. No one has been seriously injured.
The ministry said Wednesday it got notices from ANA, which operates 17 of the jets, and Japan Airlines which has seven, that all their 787 aircraft will not be flying.
The grounding was being done voluntarily by the airlines.
A fire ignited on Jan. 7 in the battery pack of an auxiliary power unit of a Japan Airlines 787 on the tarmac at Boston's Logan Airport.
It took firefighters 40 minutes to put out the blaze. Later last week, a fuel leak delayed a flight from Boston to Tokyo of another Japan Airlines 787.
The US government is conducting a review to find out what caused the fire, fuel leak, and other worrisome incidents with Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced airliner, though it has reassured the public it is safe to fly.

WOW - when I saw the preview pic of Elsa, I thought someone had posted a picture of my Myndi, since I couldn't see the white on her chest in the small pic.
Elsa - you stole my heart today. :love: I have a weakness for Poms - especially black ones - as you can see in my siggy pic below. I enjoyed reading about you, and so glad that the big guy in the house decided to let you become a member of the family - and very loved from what I can tell.
Wishing you an extra special day today - afterall - DOTD deserves all the extra good things that comes with the honors.
Congratulations - and may you have a very long and happy and healthy life - just like my 17 year old Pommy girl. :)

Long before guitarist/bassist/sax player Steve Hutter relocated to DeLand six years ago, he was performing in his native Baton Rouge, La., in the band Shotgun LeBoa and the Livestock Show.
Long before guitarist/bassist/sax player Steve Hutter relocated to DeLand six years ago, he was performing in his native Baton Rouge, La., in the band Shotgun LeBoa and the Livestock Show.
Along with playing their original music, Hutter and his bandmates "also created a lot of characters that came complete with costume," he says. Those characters included Jaws of Love the Lovesick Shark, Pepe LeBoa from South of the Border, the Duke of Oil, Jack Casual and the Casuals, Santa Pimp and others.
The band's music "touched on just about every genre," says Hutter, who performs locally as Louisiana Steve. "But whatever style it was — from disco to country to New Orleans second line — the music all contained a lot of humor mixed in with somewhat complex arrangements and harmonies."
When Hutter and his former bandmates got together after 30 years for a reunion performance late last year, they got a surprise.
"The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame heard about it and called me to say they had decided to induct us into the hall as a regional band," Hutter says. "We were stunned to say the least. At the time the band was active we were just a party band having fun. Yes, we were a very good band with very good original music with creative presentation, but we had never really thought that much about it."
Hutter says he and his bandmates "didn't quite understand when we first heard of the plan to induct us."
But the success of the reunion concert gave him a new perspective: "Seeing hundreds of people drive and fly-in just to see us made us understand for the very first time that we were indeed important to these people. Folks don't come a thousand miles to see a band they don't care about ... We were humbled by the response.
"Getting the award was very nice, but having the people show up and make us understand that we, in fact, deserved it, was a joyful moment that I'm very grateful for."
Louisiana Steve has two area gigs this week:
Hutter will perform from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday at the Downwind Cafe at Spruce Creek Fly-In, 100 Cessna Blvd., Suite D, Port Orange. For more information, call 386-756-8811.
And Hutter will perform from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Sloppy Joe's in the Ocean Walk Shoppes, 250 N. Atlantic Ave., Suite 220, Daytona Beach. Information: 386-239-0014.

Category: Deductions
What are the qualifications for claiming a person as a Dependent or a Qualifying Child on my return?
Individuals who rely on you for support and reside in your house generally qualify for dependent tax exemptions. However, there are situations when a child's exemption status is more complicated. The IRS has special rules for these situations.
Identifying the individuals who qualify for your dependent exemptions is usually pretty simple.
In most cases, children for whom you provide support and a home qualify as dependent exemptions. Often, dependents do not fall into this exact description, so the IRS has designed five tests to determine whether a child or dependent can be considered an exemption.
These five requirements are:
* citizenship
* support
* gross income
* joint return
* relationship
We suggest you complete this simple process for each dependent so you do not make any costly errors on your tax return.
In order for you to claim an exemption for a dependent there are five requirements that must be met by each individual:
1. Citizenship
To qualify for an exemption your dependent must either be:
* a US citizen,
* a resident of the US, Canada, or Mexico for part of the year,
* a legally adopted foreign child who now resides in the US, or
* an adopted child living with you the entire year in a foreign country.
2. Relationship
To qualify for an exemption your dependent must either be:
* a relative or
* a member of your household for the entire year.
Note: Relatives do not need to live in your house to qualify as a dependent exemption. Non-relatives can be claimed as dependent exemptions only if they also live in your house.
3. Joint Return
To qualify for an exemption your dependent can NOT:
* file a joint return with a spouse. Note: This means that a taxpayer is allowed to claim a married dependent as an exemption if all other four tests are met and the dependent uses the married filing separately status.
4. Gross Income
To qualify for an exemption your dependent can NOT:
* have a gross income of more than $4,050. Note There are exceptions to this rule, which are discussed below.
5. Support
To qualify for an exemption your dependent must:
* receive more than one-half of his/her total support from you.
You should disregard the gross income test in any of the following cases. If the dependent is:
* your child, and is under age 19 on Dec 31 (Tax Year).
* your child, under 24 on Dec 31, (Tax Year), and a full time student for at least five months during (Tax Year). - IF YOUR CHILD IS A FULL-TIME STUDENT, BE SURE TO ENTER 12 MONTHS AS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY LIVED WITH YOU
* a permanently and totally disabled person and receives an income for services performed for a tax-exempt organization.
You can use the IRS interactive tool to assist you in determining who you can claim as a dependent on your tax return. Visit the IRS website by clicking here.

Former Trojan Harper joins L-R Bears coaching staff
Former Bandys High standout wide receiver Justin Harper is returning to the area to coach.
Harper will serve as an assistant wide receivers coach under Sam Perryman and also serve on the staff under Lenoir-Rhyne head football coach Mike Houston.
Houston has a close relationship with Harper.
"I've known him for several years," Houston said. "He worked out here in the offseason. I got to know him just from being around town. We had talked about (coaching) in the past before. Whenever it looked like he wouldn't be picked up this fall, he came, talked to me and said he really wanted to do this. We were able to make it work."
After spending 2012 season in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Harper was traded this past offseason to the BC Lions for slotback Geroy Simon.
Harper appeared set for another season in the CFL until he was released by the Lions on May 24.
After he playing days are over, Harper said he has been intrigued by the idea of coaching.
"It is definitely something I want to get in to," he said. "I'm very thankful for the opportunity and for a man of coach Houston's caliber to come to me and tell me he would love for me to be on his staff to get my feet wet. What more can I ask? He doesn't know me, and I don't know him, but he told me that he had heard great things about me. It's up to me to step up to the plate and continue to live up to what he has been saying about me."
Houston believes having Harper on staff is a "win-win situation."
"He is wanting to get into this as a profession," Houston said. "What he doesn't have is any experience. He is able to come here, get experience, see what a daily routine is like and learn from a very good offensive coaching staff on just how to conduct himself as a professional.
"What we get is a guy that has been there and played," Houston added. "He is a guy that is respected by our kids. They all know him. He brings great resources as far as that goes to help instruct our young receivers. I think it is a great situation for both us."
Asked if his playing days were over in professional football, Harper remains optimistic he will get another opportunity.
"You never know," Harper said. "When it comes to playing football, every player will tell you it all comes down to getting a phone call. Everybody always asks me when I'm going to try out for a team. You can't do anything until you get a phone call. I'm one of those guys that is waiting on a phone call. In the time being, I'm here to help these kids with everything I've got and to help better themselves. I'm going to give Lenoir-Rhyne everything I've got and help them to better play the game of football."

If you think for one second that the Federal Reserve System is a Godsend that backstops America's banks and our economy in times of trouble, you'd be right for that one second.
But if you take any time to learn how the Fed really works and in whose interest they operate, you'd make yourself sick for a long, long time.
The truth about the Federal Reserve is that it's a dangerous, insidious socialist tool.

I bet anyone 10 dollars that these number will be "adjusted" between now and Nov 7, any takers?

I bet anyone 10 dollars that these number will be "adjusted" between now and Nov 7, any takers?
Does it matter? Obama and campaign will still trumpet it as if it were true.
Personally, I don't think they care if it is believed or not. They just *had* to put it out there.
More here as well:
Reminds me of Psalm 98:1 for some strange reason! ... :evil-grin:Quote:
The unemployment rate decreased to 7.8 percent in September, a number certain to impact the presidential race.
Pundits have been saying for months this number had to drop below 8 percent for it not to be a hindrance to President Obama's reelection chances.
The economy added 114,000 nonfarm payrolls in the month according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics with gains in healthcare, transportation and warehousing.
Truly shocking in the report was that the number of unemployed people dropped by 456,000 to 12.1 million.
Maybe more shocking, total employment, as measured by the Household Survey, rose by 873,000 in September to 142,974,000, the biggest one month jump since June 1983.
As such, total employment now stands at the highest level it's been since December 2008 before Obama was inaugurated.
But even more mysterious is the divergence in the two surveys done by the Labor Department.
The Household Survey showed a gain of 873,000 people employed in September - resulting in the surprise drop in the unemployment rate - while the Establishment Survey only showed a rise of 114,000.
O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
Well I broke my own facebook political neutral rule on this one. Just spelled out that the numbers don't seem to add up, and even some of the major media outlets our questioning it. Figured it's time to start calling some shit out on places were people of not-like mind will see it.

Authorities plan to try again to secure the death penalty for convicted murderer Jodi Arias after jurors in her trial deadlocked last month on a sentence.
Arias was convicted of murder May 8 in the 2008 killing of boyfriend Travis Alexander at his suburban Phoenix home.
About two weeks later, the same panel failed to reach a unanimous decision on whether to sentence Arias to life in prison or death.
While her murder conviction stands, prosecutors have the option of pursuing a new penalty phase aiming for the ultimate punishment or avoid it altogether, leading to a life sentence for Arias.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said Wednesday that his office is preparing for a retrial.
A status conference in the case is set for June 20.

Idaho Toddler Falls From Bedroom Window
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — A toddler was hospitalized in Coeur d'Alene over the weekend after falling from a second-floor window at home. Police officers responded on Friday night to a report that a child between the ages of 1 and 2 fell out the window. The child's bunk bed was next to the window.
Sgt. Scot TenEyck said Saturday it appeared the child would be fine. No citations were issued. Police did not release any information about the child's injuries, but said the child was listed in stable condition at Kootenai Medical Center.

Talk:Reductio ad absurdum
From Iron Chariots Wiki
Revision as of 22:48, 30 August 2006 by Sans Deity (Talk | contribs)
Rolled back to previous version.
This is not a form of the straw man fallacy. Reductio ad absurdum is a logical proof which attempts to disprove a claim by assuming it as a premise and demonstrating, by arriving at a contradictory conclusion in a valid argument, that it must be false. The principle is that a logically valid syllogism is one where if both premises are true, the conclusion must be true. If the conclusion is false, one or more of the premises must be false. By demonstrating that the second premise is true, the suspect premise must be false. - Sans Deity 20:48, 30 August 2006 (MST)

How to Monitor HCV and Liver Health
August 2003
Get Regular Check-Ups and Lab WorkGoing for regular check-ups and getting lab tests done is a key component of monitoring your liver health.
The Check-Up
The doctor will perform a complete physical, including:
Lab WorkLab work includes a series of tests that are done to monitor the health and function of the liver.
For more information, read Project Inform's "Blood Work: A Useful Tool for Monitoring HIV."
When Do I Treat?In general, when to start HCV therapy is based on each person's individual situation. Current guidelines recommend that people with the following conditions consider starting HCV therapy, as they can be signs of liver damage:
There are different opinions as to when to treat people with chronic HCV infection who show no signs of liver damage. Many liver specialists recommend monitoring the health of the liver and starting treatment when there are signs of damage. For example, if you have normal or slightly above normal levels of ALT with little or no fibrosis, your doctor may recommend postponing treatment and closely monitor your liver health.
As you think about anti-HCV therapy there are several factors to consider that can help guide your decision. It is important to consider each of these points:
What to Treat First, HCV or HIV?
There is no consensus on how to best treat people who have both HIV and HCV. In general, treating HCV or HIV first will depend on the stage of liver disease and the stage of your HIV disease, for example, your CD4+ cell count and/or HIV viral load.
Many researchers believe it is wise to treat HIV first. However, if liver disease is severe, it is recommended that HCV be treated first. Improving the condition of the liver may allow a person to better tolerate anti-HIV therapies.
When treating HIV first, people benefit from being on anti-HIV therapy for at least one year before starting HCV therapy. Talk with your doctor about selecting an anti-HIV regimen that may be less burdensome on your liver.
A minimum of a 1-to-2 month gap is encouraged between starting HCV and HIV treatment. As the side effects for both HCV and HIV therapies can be difficult to manage, it's not recommended that you start treatment for both at the same time.
How Do I Know if the Treatment Is Working?Your doctor will use two time points to determine whether you're responding to treatment or not. The end of treatment response (ETR) is 6-12 months after you start. An effective ETR is when liver functions tests are normal and there's an undetectable HCV viral load 6-12 months after starting treatment.
The sustained virologic response (SVR) is 6 months after treatment was stopped. An effective SVR is when a person's liver function tests remain normal and HCV viral load remains undetectable 6 months after stopping therapy.
Some studies also show that even if a person with HIV and HCV does not have a sustained viral response, they may have a slower progression to liver damage and liver cancer with HCV treatment.
Dealing With the Side Effects -- Therapy Can Be Hard to Tolerate
Anti-HCV therapy can be difficult to tolerate and has a number of side effects. Some people may be able to deal with and manage them while others may not. The degree of difficulty varies for each person. Side effects may only last for a few weeks or months, while others may be long-term.
Identifying strategies to cope with and manage the side effects, before you start treatment, may help your decision. In addition, it's helpful to have a strong support system so those who are close to you will be aware of and perhaps help you cope with the side effects you may experience, particularly irritability, fatigue or depression. Read Project Inform's publication, "Dealing With Drug Side Effects."
What Anti-HIV Drugs Should I Avoid?Anti-HIV medications pass through the liver, which can result in an increase in liver enzymes (ALT). However, some are more likely to cause this than others. These can include; d4T (stavudine, Zerit), ddI (didanosine, Videx) and the protease inhibitors, especially ritonavir (Norvir). Talk with your doctor about choosing a regimen that will least likely increase ALT levels.
Pregnancy and Hepatitis -- Concerns for Pregnant and Nursing Mothers
Pregnancy will not speed HCV disease or make it worse. However, if the liver is already damaged or scarred with cirrhosis, the expectant mother could be at risk for fatty liver. (Fatty liver happens when there's not enough of the enzyme that is produced to process fatty acids. This condition can be quite serious and possibly life-threatening.)
There are no preventive therapies to reduce the rate of HCV transmission. The risk of passing HCV to the infant is dependent on two factors:
Ribavirin causes severe birth defects, so it cannot be used by pregnant women, women who are breast-feeding or by men whose partners are pregnant. Interferon should not be used during pregnancy, as the effect on the fetus is unknown. For more information, read Project Inform's "Pregnancy and HIV."
A Note About Depression
People who have been diagnosed with depression may not be good candidates for anti-HCV therapy. However, taking anti-depressants, attending support groups or therapy may be helpful. Some doctors will recommend that a person with a history of depression be on stable and effective anti-depressant treatment for six months before starting treatment for HCV. Talk with your doctor about getting the proper mental health support. Read Project Inform's publication, Wise Words #9: "Depression and HIV."
Other Treatment Considerations
VaccinationsVaccinations for both HAV and HBV are recommended. The vaccinations are safe and effective in people living with HIV. Read Project Inform's publication, "Hepatitis," for more information.

NEW YORK – Columbia University Athletics closes the 2012-13 academic year with its annual year-end awards ceremony, the 92nd Annual Varsity C Celebration: Celebrating Our Student-Athletes, on Tuesday, April 30, in Levien Gymnasium at 7 p.m.
The event serves as the final gathering of the 2012-13 academic year for all of Columbia's student-athletes and coaches where the highest honors will be bestowed on some of the Lions' brightest stars.
The Connie S. Maniatty Award is given to the top senior male and female student-athletes in recognition for their outstanding Columbia careers. The six finalists, announced Monday are:
Brian Barbour '13CC (basketball)
Sean Brackett '13CC (football)
Steve Santos '13CC (wrestling)
Nicole Bartnik '13CC (tennis)
Sharay Hale '13CC (track & field)
Katie Meili '13CC (swimming)
Columbia Athletics will also award two prestigious watch awards to two seniors who have earned the Varsity C for at least two seasons. The Marion R. Philips Watch is given to the senior female student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Watch will be presented to the senior male student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average.
This year marks the inception of the Karen Blank Award that will be handed out to a senior female student-athlete enrolled in Barnard College, who exemplifies the qualities of academic success, athletic achievement, strong sporting behavior and commitment to community.
In addition to the presentation of these major awards, the evening will feature a year-in-review highlight video celebrating the major moments and achievements accomplished this year. Individual sports program award winners will also be recognized during the event program and a full dinner will be served to the attendees at the conclusion of the event.
This year's Athletics Alumni Award honorees include George Van Amson '74CC (football and baseball) and Ari Brose '84CC (cross country/track & field).
Van Amson is one of the most influential Columbians in history after fashioning a successful 21-year careeer as an executive at Morgan Stanley. He served a 12-year term as the 96th Alumni Trustee from 1996-2008 and continues to provide leadership as the chair of the Columbia Alumni Association. During his time at Morningside Heights, Van Amson was elected class president in his freshman and sophomore years and made his mark in athletics on both the baseball and football teams.
Brose was a true pioneer in women's athletics at Columbia. A talented distance runner, she was a member of the Barnard cross country and track and field squads and was named captain of first-ever women's cross country and track and field teams to compete as Columbia Lions after the establishment o f the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium. Brose is a member of the Columbia Athletics Women's Leadership Council and was named one of the 25 most influential alumnae in the history of the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium.

Hi guys,
I am new here, glad to have found this forum.
Just a quick question.
I am trying to figure out a way to automatically swap a file for another one on the same location on the server at a given time.
Let's say I have a new version of "picture1.jpg" that needs to take the place of the old "picture1.jpg" on Sunday at 12pm.
This picture will need to change up to 20 times a month and I want to automate the whole process.
Is that possible? How can this be achieved?
Thanks for the pointers.

Firefighters said lightning sparked a house fire on Donnington Drive in Johns Creek.
Sachim Sangole lives next door to the house in The Estates at Wellington subdivision. He said he saw a big light come down from the sky and when he looked out the window again, his neighbor's roof was on fire. Sangole said he called 911.
Two young men were inside the home, where they live with three other friends. The pair said they heard a noise, and when the fire alarms went off, they called 911 and ran outside.
Johns Creek firefighters said they arrived within minutes of receiving the 911 call.
Firefighters said the fire moved quickly, and were forced to retreat from inside the home within 10 minutes. The house is a total loss.
The roof of the home caved in just before 6 p.m.
Firefighters said they were able to put out most of the fire within 20 minutes and contain it from spreading to other houses.
No injuries were reported.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Cardinals "absolutely" take the NFC West into account when it comes to building the roster, and with that in mind General Manager Steve Keim wants his defense to get longer and more athletic.
In particular, Keim said Thursday from the annual Scouting combine, would be the positions of safety and defensive end – better to battle mobile quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick as well as the opposing tight ends that gave the Cards so much trouble this season.
"On each side of the ball," Keim said, "we were at least two to three players away from being an upper-echelon team."
Improving the offensive line is part of that plan. But Keim believes good teams in this salary cap age have a dominate side of the ball. That's where the Cardinals are aiming.
"Seattle was a dominant defense with a solid offense," Keim said. "Denver was a dominant offense with an OK defense. In our situation, we are closer to having a dominant defense. So I think you have to continue to throw gas on the fire. Continue to
Keim has said he wants the Cardinals to be more physical, but that will only get the Cardinals so far. Left tackle
"Brawler-type guys aren't the ones who will necessarily win in this division," Arians said. "There are too many great athletes in the division, but everyone plays physical. You want guys who want to play one-on-one, 'I'll kick their ass or they'll kick mine.' "
When analyzing potential players – and draft picks – the mentality of being physical plays a big part in the thought process.
"Two things we always say in our meetings," Keim said. " 'If they don't bite when they are puppies, when are they going to bite?' And as Bruce has said before, with the aggressive young players, it's a lot easier to tell them 'Whoa' than 'Sic.'
"You have players with a certain type of athleticism, either they are talented or they are not, they usually can't get a whole lot smarter, and they either bite or they don't. Sometimes you can improve their tackling skills, but generally, a guy is a physical player or he isn't."
Getting linebacker
"We spend the majority of our year building a database that has every contract analyzed in the NFL and you have to take into account age, production, that sort of thing," Keim said. "That dictates your length of contract, it dictates what type of money and structure you are going to have."
Keim said he has confidence that Arians can work with whatever roster eventually comes out for the Cards because Arians is willing to play young players and players brought in off the street.
"Not a lot of coaches will do that," Keim said. "A lot of coaches will put up a fight because it is out of their comfort zone. Bruce understands there is a business aspect."
"There is a reason we drafted
The possibility the Cardinals draft a quarterback remains. But Keim again stressed the Cards were happy with the play of
"With the supply and demand at quarterback, Carson at least puts us in the position where you don't have to force, and when I say force, you're sitting at 20 or wherever we are in the draft, and feel like we have to have one," Keim said.
COOPER'S RETURN FOR OTAs ON TRACK
Last year's No. 1 draft pick, guard
After Cooper missed all of last season, his return will be almost as if the Cardinals will add a second first-round pick to the roster this season.
"A couple of weeks ago, I took a lunch break and came back at 1 in the afternoon and he's out on the field by himself, doing stance and starts and working on his drill work," Keim said. "You can't have enough guys like him in your locker room."

Recently, a corn farmer asked me if he needed to irrigate his corn now. It was stressing but the old-time farmers told him it was good for corn to stress early since it made the roots grow deeper.
I jokingly asked him if he was talking about the old-time farmers in the 1950s when Georgia farmers averaged 25 bushels per acre or the old-time farmers in the 1960s when Georgia averaged 40 bushels per acre or the old-time farmers in the 1970s when Georgia averaged 50 bushels per acre. I wouldn't go to the 1980s since I wouldn't want to be classified as an old-timer.
With a little bit of humor, I said if he is happy making 25, 40 or 50 bushels per acre, then by all means, let your corn stress early. But if he was interested in making optimum yields with record-high corn prices, then I would be irrigating.
I have a great deal of respect for what our forefathers did with the resources they had. But the times and technology have changed. Georgia averaged 130 bushels per acre in 2007, and I realize there are other reasons, including improved hybrids, better fertilization, improved weed control, and other factors for Georgia's better corn yields.
But a major reason for our higher yields is that a greater percentage of our corn crop is being irrigated and more research is being conducted on irrigation timing.
Even with $4 per gallon fuel, it will still pay to irrigate corn with the current prices. Scheduling corn irrigation
Irrigation requires a relatively high investment in equipment, fuel, maintenance and labor, but it offers a significant potential for increasing net farm income. Frequency and timing of water application have a major impact on yields and operating costs.
To schedule irrigation for the most efficient use of water and to optimize production, it is desirable to frequently determine the soil water conditions throughout the root zone of the crop being grown. A number of methods for doing this have been developed and used with varying degrees of success.
In comparison to the investment in irrigation equipment, these scheduling methods are relatively inexpensive. When properly used and coupled with grower experience, a scheduling method can improve a grower's chances of success.
Any plan typically is better than no plan or method at all, particularly with corn. A good plan pays dividends in terms of yield, water-use efficiency, and net returns. Growers who take a "wait for the crop to tell me" never get the greatest benefits for their irrigation.
In corn, irrigating too late causes yield loss while irrigating too much wastes energy, water, money and can leach nutrients beyond the root zone.
The most simple and practical way of scheduling corn irrigation is to use the moisture balance or check-book method. This helps a grower keep up with an estimated amount of available water in the field as the crop grows. The objective is to maintain a record of incoming and outgoing water so that an adequate balance amount is maintained for crop growth.
Growers will need certain basic information to use a check-book method. The soil type of the field, expected daily water use of corn, water-holding capacity of the soil, and a rain gauge or access to nearby rainfall information are the basic starting point items.
Check-book type methods can be enhanced with other different tools or methods such as the EASY pan method. The UGA EASY (Evaporation based Accumulator for Sprinkler enhanced Yield) Pan is designed to be easy to operate, economical and representative of the water used by the crop in humid areas.
A couple of the unique operating characteristics include the ability to read the unit from a distance and the fact that no record-keeping is required. This makes the Easy Pan a simple tool for scheduling irrigation.
The float-based mechanism is designed to represent both the effective root depth of a crop and the soil water holding capacity. The covering screen on the pan unit is designed to limit evaporation to a level similar to the evapotranspiration rate (water use) of a crop.
Also, expert systems such as Irrigator Pro (software by USDA), or other scheduling software are available to help you make decisions regarding when to irrigate.
Soil moisture measuring devices such as Echo and Watermark can be used in conjunction with corn growth curves to enhance irrigation scheduling as well. These devices provide instant readings of either soil moisture content or tension in the root zone and can identify exactly when water is needed to replenish the root zone.

Fiji rates poorly in survey on access to govt finances
Fiji has been ranked nearly last in a worldwide survey of access to information about government finances.
The 'Open Budget Survey' was carried out by an NGO called the International Budget Partnership.
It saw Fiji ranked 10th from the bottom.
New Zealand was rated the best in the world for people being about to find out how their government is handling its money.
Burma, Qatar and Equatorial Guinea were ranked the worst.
"Fiji scored 6 out of a 100 ... which is lower even than China's 11," Reverend Akuila Yabaki, CEO of the Fiji NGO the Citizens Constitutional Forum, told Pacific Beat.
He said the survey specified particular documents which have not been released.
"Pre-budget statements, executive budgets proposals, enacted budgets, citizens' budget and includes audit report for 2011 - all these haven't been released ... The audit report has been produced, but only for internal use."
He said since 2007 they have been calling for the Auditor-General's reports and other financial reports to be made public.
"... people are in the dark as to what's in store for them in the absence of these documents."
Rev. Yabaki added that it is "a fundamental human right" to have access to such information, it is also important to make the government answerable.
"People are entitled to know what is the actual state of spending, [including] the salaries of people who are officers."
"The definition of 'transparency' - according to good governance and the best authorities - defines 'transparency' as decisions taken and their enforcement being done in a manner that follows rules and regulations ... [meaning] information is made freely available and directly accessible."

Re: Difference between my $self = shift and my ($self) = @_by tobyink (Abbot)

|Need Help??
my $self = shift not only defines $self; it also modifies @_ (removing the first array item). The difference is only significant if you intend on using @_ or goto later on in the sub.
Update: Personally I've recently decided to adopt a coding style where I use shift for the invocant (i.e. $self or $class; but also "conceptual invocants" like $orig in Moose around method modifiers, or $ctx in Catalyst actions) and list assignment for other parameters.
For example:
For regular subs which are not intended to be called as methods, there is no invocant, so I just use list assignment to unpack all the arguments.
Why did I decide to adopt this style? I find it works nicely in terms of delegating method calls and so forth where you often need to pass on @_ to other methods and functions, but without passing on the invocant.
I'm not yet very strict with myself about this style, but hopefully it will become habit soon.
