Tulane names starting quarterback

Tulane junior Scott Elliott will be under center when the Green Wave takes the field Sept. 8.NEW ORLEANS - One of the big questions heading into the 2007 season for the Tulane University football team was an obvious one - Who is going to start at quarterback for the Green Wave when they open the year against Mississippi State on Sept. 8?
First year head coach Bob Toledo can now scratch that list of questions off his list to be answered as he named junior Scott Elliott his starter prior to Monday's practice at the Westfeldt Practice Facility. Based on his play during the spring and the first eight days of preseason drills, Elliott won the job over sophomore Anthony Scelfo, redshirt-freshman Kevin Moore and true freshman Joe Kemp.
"It's not like he has a lot of experience, but we wanted to make a decision," Toledo said of his new signal caller. "We wanted to do it within the first 10 practices, and that's about what we did. (Elliott) needs a lot of reps now to get used to what we're doing and to get comfortable with the first group. He has proven from spring practice and 10 practices this fall that he is worthy of it.
"Somebody really had to beat him out and that didn't happen. I think (all the quarterbacks) improved, which makes me feel good, but nobody really played better than him. Because he's the older guy and because he has the most experience, we're going to go with him. The other two guys will get an equal opportunity to continue to work, and we'll see how they progress."
A fourth-year junior from Bay City, Texas, Elliott has played in 13 games during his Tulane career, including three starts as a redshirt-freshman in 2005. He has completed 61-of-122 passes for 647 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. As the Green Wave's part-time starter in 2005, Elliott completed 52.2 percent of his passes (48-of-92) for 515 yards, four scores and four picks.
Elliott is now what has become a highly coveted position as the previous four starting quarterbacks at Tulane have all gone on to sign NFL contracts. Shaun King - who set an NCAA Division I-A record with a 183.32 quarterback rating in 1998 - started the trend as a second-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1999, Patrick Ramsey (Washington, 2002) and J.P. Losman (Buffalo, 2005) were both first-round picks, and Lester Ricard signed a free-agent deal last spring with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The announcement of Elliott being named the starter was originally made on Sunday during the "Let's Talk Tulane Football" party at Boomtown Casino on the Westbank of New Orleans, and while Elliott has been playing with the No. 1s for most of preseason practice, Monday was the first day he took the field with full knowledge that he would be the team's starter.
"(Elliott) really has a pretty good grasp of the offense," Toledo said. "He understands what we're doing and he's not going to make many bad plays. The thing that I'm on him about constantly is that he has to make routine plays. When guys are wide open, he's got to complete those passes because that is the West Coast Offense."
In addition to the news on Elliott, Monday's practice was another action-packed day as the Green Wave went through a multitude of drills - including what Toledo calls "sudden change." With the teams doing primarily individual drills, Toledo blew his whistle, announced "sudden change" and the team assembled along the sideline as they would in a game. The defense kept the Green Wave offense out of the end zone on this particular occasion, but Toledo vowed to use the drill several more times throughout the preseason.
Tulane also welcomed back a handful of players who had missed time due to nagging injury during Monday's practice. Rejoining the team on the field were wide receivers Jeremy Williams (shoulder) and Brian King (toe), as well as cornerback Charles Harris (mononucleosis).
The Tulane team returns to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 21, with its second two-a-day practice of the fall. The Green Wave will take the field in the morning at 9:30 a.m. for an 18-period practice before returning to the Westfeldt Facility at 3:35 p.m. for a 24-session practice. The two-a-day is the first of three double shifts Toledo has scheduled as Tulane will go twice again on Wednesday and Saturday.
The Green Wave open the 2007 season on Saturday, Sept. 8, when Tulane takes on Mississippi State at 6 p.m. in the Louisiana Superdome. Season tickets remain on sale through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office.

An intro to RBAC management in Exchange 2013
Microsoft rebuilt the RBAC feature in Exchange 2013, so it's important to familiarize yourself with the basics. Start here.
Role based access control got a lukewarm reception when it was introduced in Exchange 2010. While it allowed Exchange administrators to delegate mundane tasks to the help desk or to certain power users, the interface was cumbersome and proved confusing to delegates. Fortunately, RBAC has been improved in Exchange 2013. Here's what you need to know moving forward.
To access Exchange 2013 role based access control (RBAC), open the Exchange Administration Center console and click the Permissions tab. You will see the screen shown in Figure 1. At the top of this screen, you'll see that the console separates Admin Roles from the User Roles.
The center pane lists the defined administrative roles. The roles shown in the figure are defined by default, but you also have the option to create custom roles.
Gaining a full understanding of the default administrative roles is the most important part of RBAC management in Exchange 2013. Admins should know exactly what each role and role group does, so they don't give people the wrong privileges.
- Compliance Management: The Compliance Management role allows delegated administrators to configure and manage such compliance settings as data loss prevention, information rights management and retention management. These admins can view audit logs, configuration data and recipients.
- Delegated Setup: The Delegated Setup role lets administrators install Exchange Server 2013 on a server that has already been provisioned. This role also gives users the necessary permissions to uninstall Exchange and view Exchange configuration data.
- Discovery Management: The Discovery Management role provides administrators with e-discovery capabilities. Admins with this role can search mailboxes for data that meets the search criteria. Additionally, they can implement a legal hold.
- Help Desk: Administrators with the Help Desk role can manage user properties. It is worth noting, however, that users can also manage their own mailbox properties without the assistance of the help desk.
- Hygiene Management: The Hygiene Management role lets delegated administrators manage Exchange 2013's antispam settings. Admins in this role group can also configure antivirus products to work with Exchange 2013. In addition, they can configure transport agents, transport hygiene, receive connectors and more. The admins can also view recipients and Exchange configuration data.
- Organization Management: The Organization Management role lets administrators manage the entire Exchange Server organization. They can also delegate role groups to others.
- Public Folder Management: Members of the Public Folder Management role group can create and delete public folders. They can also configure such things as public folder replication settings and quotas.
- Recipient Management: As the name implies, administrators added Recipient Management role group can create, delete and modify recipients. They also can move mailboxes, perform message tracking and manage distribution groups.
- Records Management: Members of the Records Management role group are tasked with maintaining compliance. They also can perform such tasks as message tracking, journaling messages, configuring retention management, creating transport rules and managing audit logs.
- Server Management: Members of the Server Management role group can perform server-level management tasks on any Exchange server in the organization, but they can't perform global, organization-level management tasks. For example, a server manager can create databases or manage receive connectors, but can't establish a federated trust.
- UM Management: Administrators with the UM Management role can configure and manage the unified messaging feature.
- View-Only Organization Management: This is a specialized role that is intended for training purposes. Members can see all the configuration options but cannot make configuration changes.
Best practices: Exchange 2013 role group management
Exchange 2013 does let you delete or modify the built-in role groups if you so choose. To delete a role group, select it and click the Delete icon. The Delegated Setup and Organization Management groups, however, should not be deleted because you can break Exchange 2013 if you do.
To modify a role group, double-click it. When you do, you'll see a dialog box that lets you change the group's name, description, roles and members. You also have the option to change the role group's scope, so that it only applies to a specific organizational unit.
The only aspect of the default role groups you should consider modifying is the Members list. If you really want to change a role group's behavior, I suggest creating a custom role group rather than modifying a default role group.
To create a custom role group, click the plus sign icon (+) seen in Figure 1. You will be taken to the New Role Group dialog box (Figure 2). Here you can create a brand-new role group, assign the appropriate roles and control the group's membership.
As you can see, RBAC allows Exchange administrators to delegate limited administrative capabilities to others in the organization as a way of offloading mundane administrative tasks. The key to using RBAC effectively is understanding the capabilities and limitations of the default role groups, and knowing when it's necessary to create custom role groups.

I dropped out the next day fuck a g.e.d
Then i went and clowned the industry with ICP
Through up the 313 to let them know it was me
Esham is dope ho im the king of the D
I stole a fuckin firetruck and drove through a wendys
All that happen to me was a bullet in the kidneys
I almost died then but look at me i ride again
Whats really happenin reality is pretend
You can blow my fuckin head off ill just grow another
My brain and my self we dont even know each other
Somones in the darkness crawling out of my closet door
Thats what the nines in the mattress for
Warlocks and witches come and learn from the master
The walls of my home feature bodys in the plaster
The dead but sticking out like hon solo when he flows
With my favorite weapons hanging off there fingers and toes
Wicked pimpin scary bitches livin or dead
All with vampire fangs and they givin me head
Like cemetery girls back dance boogie woogie betty
Her nedens big and blew out like a plate of spaghetti
Im out cold all my teeth gold

Quarterback sneakin plus if you rush em
Bust em down bust em up steady fuckin em up
But wait why do i have all this blood on my hands
Blood on my clothes blood on my shoes

Murdering crews and there point of views
Im like purple chronic mixed with ass and demonic
In her stomach full of jagermeister ready to vomit
Mirror mirror on the wall tell us who the wicked are
Shaggy E and Jay we in the game and gettin ours

Half way sticken out but look it still plays
I stomp when i rap and i shake the whole block
Stick my dick in your ear so you can hear what i got

Known to the world as the pop star killer
And on another part from the part i arose
Im the crusty ass booger hanging out of your nose
Im the stink on your toes im the weed to your rose
Not one of your friends but one of your foes
And spittin the wicked shit is the life i chose
Do a spin grab my nuts then b boy pose
Chain you up for some tic tacs bloody mess
We the board on your chest and take turns shootin the rest
I win everytime the beat is good with every rhyme
And off with your head if your gettin mine
This is esham and the wicked clowns for the vote
We come flying out the dark with a triple moonsault
I through a snowball so hard it replaced your eye
It melted and left a fuckin hole and it was dry

| 0.8°C Belfast
Armed police fired shots in a busy street to force a van carrying three suspects to stop, a force spokeswoman said.
Officers arrested three men at around 5.30pm yesterday in Darlington on suspicion of firearms offences.
The shots were fired as part of an officially approved "enforced stop" technique, Durham Police said. It was not clear if the van's tyres were shot out but it was understood that was the intention.
No-one was injured in the incident in Yarm Road.
The men aged 30, 22 and 19 who are from separate locations across the North East, are currently in custody at police stations across the force area where they are helping police with their inquiries.
Chief Superintendent Graham Hall from Darlington said: "The incident was dealt with swiftly and safely and no one was injured.
"The men were quickly arrested and are now in custody helping us with our inquiries.
"It is normal procedure for armed officers to be deployed to incidents of this nature and there is no need for alarm.
"Fortunately incidents like this are rare and I would like to reassure the community of Darlington and in particular the residents of Yarm Road that this is an isolated incident."
A force spokeswoman said: "There were some shots fired to bring the vehicle to a halt."
Witnesses reported hearing shots fired and after the van was forced to stop, people saw police holding machine guns make the suspects lie on the ground to be handcuffed.
Yarm Road is one of the busiest roads heading east out of Darlington town centre.

Based on the evidence, more than 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening. Climate change is already causing significant impacts to people and ecosystems, and these impacts will grow much more severe in the coming years. We can choose to take economically sensible steps to lessen the damage of climate change, and the cost of inaction is much higher than the cost of action.

(visited by Joseph Kerski)
15-Apr-2009 -- As I was in Iowa to teach a GIS-GPS hands-on workshop for 30 stellar educators, I thought that a confluence visit would be the perfect beginning. I had been eying this confluence given its proximity to Des Moines, and once visited, I could then travel to my destination in Ottumwa. However, due to a flight delay resulting from a rather unsettling aborted takeoff in Denver, I was nearly 3 hours late arriving at the Des Moines Airport. Would I have enough daylight to make the confluence?
I picked up my rental car soon after arriving, and by 5:00pm, was traveling due-northeast out of Des Moines on US Highway 65. I say "due-northeast" because a quick view of the map shows that the road is nearly straight as an arrow for dozens of miles from Des Moines to Marshalltown. I traversed gently rolling terrain while listening to a hand-selected prime array of CDs, including the very first album by Barry Manilow, which begins with an audio clip of him as a child while his grandfather exhorts Barry to "Sing it!". No doubt the reader will agree that this was indeed a fine selection, and things progressed as expected with the sun behind me until I reached US Highway 30.
I gathered camera and GPS, walking north along the west side of the road, down into the roadside hollow, and up the embankment. I found the confluence in less than 5 minutes, just barely over the fence that had fallen down here, at the eastern edge of the first field. It was just before 6:00pm local time. The confluence lies on ground that slopes to the south, and sharply to the east into the roadside hollow. "I've found the prettiest place in Iowa, and here I'll live and lay my bones," wrote Henry Anson, founder of Marshalltown, in 1851. This is indeed beautiful country. Anson built the town on the divide between Linn Creek and the Iowa River, naming it Marshall, after Marshall, Michigan. Because there was another Marshall, Iowa, already, the name was changed to Marshalltown in 1862. The view was best to the southeast, and the setting sun cast a pleasant spring light over the whole scene. I saw a few birds but no people and no animals. The temperature was a pleasant 65 F (18 F) under clear skies, although it was quite windy, as evidenced in the confluence movie I filmed. I thoroughly enjoyed the site, and it was my second confluence in Iowa.
I had stood on 42 North numerous times before, from Wyoming on the west, to Nebraska, now in Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. This was only the second time I had stood on 93 West, the other being during a downpour in Minnesota. I was reluctant to depart, but I needed to get to the training site in Ottumwa. I drove south, and then had a magnificent roller coaster experience driving up and down steep hills on the first dirt road to the east. I eventually made it back to US 30, drove east to US 63, and south to Ottumwa. This visit was truly an excellent way to begin the GIS-GPS workshop in Iowa.

Type 2 diabetes usually occurs as a result of genetics and lifestyle. It is marked by abnormally high levels of blood sugar, known as glucose. Glucose is the primary source of energy for our cells that the body makes from food we ingest. The onset of type 2 diabetes is triggered when the body is no longer able to properly use insulin, the hormone that helps cells take in glucose from the blood. When glucose stays in the blood stream instead of moving into the cells, nerves and blood vessels can be damaged. This increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, and circulation problems.
Prediabetes is a condition that precedes the onset of type 2 diabetes. It is characterized by blood glucose levels that are elevated, though not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Doctors usually refer to prediabetes as impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends screening for all adults 45 years old and older. Also, if you are younger than 45 and are overweight or obese and have risk factors for diabetes, you should be screened. Risk factors include:
People of Hispanic American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Native American, or African American descent are at higher risk.
Having prediabetes means that you are at high risk for developing diabetes and may already be experiencing adverse effects of elevated blood sugar levels.
During a routine office visit, your doctor can order tests, such as:
If you are diagnosed with prediabetes, it is important to take action to manage your condition. If you are overweight, your doctor may recommend that you lose weight. Reducing your body weight, even by 5%-10% can help improve your health. In general, changing your diet and being physically active and exercising at least 30 minutes a day will help you stay on track. Participating in a behavioral modification program may further help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Because many of the lifestyle-related risk factors associated with diabetes are also risk factors for other health issues, making lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of diabetes may have a positive effect on your overall health.
Some people can take medication to manage their blood glucose levels, though lifestyle modification should be the first approach to manage prediabetes. Medications that may be used include metformin, pioglitazone, and acarbose.
The same strategies that are used to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes can be applied to prediabetes, as well. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends these strategies:
If you do have prediabetes, you can take steps that may slow or avoid the progression to type 2 diabetes. It will take a lot of effort on your part, but the potential benefits—being healthy and living longer—are worth it.

California bill says homeless have right to be on the street
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Homeless people would be allowed to sit, sleep and panhandle in public under a bill that passed a legislative committee on Tuesday, even as some lawmakers cited concerns about its potential effect on local governments.
The measure from state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, says every person has a right to use public spaces, regardless of housing status.
The bill is partly a reaction to ordinances passed in recent years by several cities concerned about the number of people on the streets. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz and Palo Alto are among the municipalities that have banned people from sitting and lying on streets and sidewalks.
Ammiano's so-called "Homeless Bill of Rights" prohibits police from enforcing ordinances on resting in public places unless a county has provided sufficient support to homeless people. It also includes a right to an attorney during court proceedings that involve minor offenses.
"Citations, arrests and jail time do not solve homelessness," Ammiano told the Assembly Judiciary Committee. "They just route crucial public dollars that could be spent on housing to an already impacted court and corrections system."
AB5 also would require state government to pay for creating local "hygiene centers" with restrooms and showers open 24 hours a day.
The bill has been revised several times since its introduction. A reference allowing people to urinate in public spaces was stricken, and it now says the rights listed apply in public spaces but not on private property.
Local governments and business groups oppose the legislation, saying it would lead to costly mandates and lawsuits. In particular, opponents said the provision limiting whether police could enforce ordinances was unfair to cities because it's county governments that are responsible for managing public housing waiting lists and providing cash assistance.
"We have no control over what services the county does or does not provide," said Kirstin Kolpitcke of the League of California Cities.
Dozens of homeless people and representatives of organizations that provide assistance joined Ammiano on Tuesday in support of the bill.
Long-term shelters have done little to help solve homelessness, a problem that has grown worse amid the recession, said Paul Boden, organizing director of the San Francisco-based Western Regional Advocacy Project.
In response, he said, cities and towns have increased policing efforts aimed at removing homeless people from streets.
"Not only is the criminalization of poverty and homelessness wrong, it is incredibly expensive," said Boden, estimating that California counties spend $300 million a year incarcerating homeless people.
The bill passed the committee on a 7-2 vote, with Republican Assemblymen Donald Wagner and Brian Maienschein opposing.
Maienschien, who served as San Diego's first commissioner on homelessness, said the bill does not give cities enough flexibility in trying to assist the homeless.
"What would work in San Diego, what might work in L.A. isn't going to work in other places, and particularly in smaller towns, maybe more rural areas, it's going to be different," Maienschein said.
Several Democrats on the committee said they support the goal of preventing discrimination against homeless people but have concerns about the potential cost of the bill's requirements, including creating hygiene centers, and its restrictions on police officers.
Ammiano's bill now awaits review by the Appropriations Committee before possibly going to the full Assembly.
Similar legislation was approved last year in Rhode Island.

Chevy Volt Federal Tax Credit – Form 8936 (2013 Update)
I've seen several new questions pop up about claiming the tax credit for any Volt purchased in 2012, So here's my newest attempt to address the more current questions that we see popping up in the forums. Not all are fully answered yet, but I'll see if I can find more.
update 2/10/2013
More IRS Tax form 8936 FAQ's – Updated with some more FAQ's from this year that I've seen floating around…
Q1: What is this manufacturer's certification that I need to turn in?
A1: General Motors / Chevrolet has already provided the manufacturer's certification to the IRS, so if you input the VIN number as needed for the form, you should be fine. This is mostly needed for small EV manufacturers. You don't need to do anything for this. (I know this confuses a lot of people).
Q2: the 2012 Form 8936 says only $2,500 rebate… huh?? I was promised $7500!
A2: Yes, the form 8936 is very confusing. The $2,500 rebate refers to 2 and 3 wheeled vehicles. If you follow the instructions exactly or otherwise use tax software that supports this form you will indeed get the $7,500 tax credit, assuming that you have enough taxable income to deduct. The Chevy Volt still qualifies for the full $7,500 tax credit and is not yet close to "phasing out"
More info on the EV tax credit here: It's still alive and kicking.
Example from Turbotax, though I made up the VIN.
update 5/5/2012:
IRS Tax Form 8936 FAQ's
Many of you have common questions about IRS form 8936, the $7500 EV Tax credit which applies for the Chevrolet Volt and other production EV's. While you can read the details of the questions in the post below, I tried to compile them into one section so that its easier to reference. Keep in mind that I'm not a Professional Tax Adviser, so if there is an error let me know, but I provide this information to the best of my knowledge. Always check with your tax adviser first if in doubt about your specific circumstance.
Q1: Is there still money in the program? Can I still get a $7500 tax credit if I buy a Volt today?
A1: Yes the Federal Tax Credit for the Chevrolet Volt is still alive and kicking! The program starts to phase out after 200,000 Eligible vehicles per manufacturer have been claimed. However, you need not worry if you bought Volt number 200,001 because the phase out happens starting 1 calendar quarter after the 200,000 vehicle is sold. There's a nice infographic on the IRS site that I've shown below.
Check this link to the IRS Plug In Hybrids page to see when the phase outs happen. (They aren't close yet)
Q2: If I buy a Volt today (5/4/2012), when do I get the credit back?
A2: You claim the tax credit on your 2012 Federal Taxes. So you won't see the money until you get your refund in 2013 after you've filed your taxes.
Q3: I make $x dollars per year, have y kids, and $z mortgage, can I claim the full credit?
A3: This is one that you really need to calculate out. Be very careful with this as you may not get the full $7500 depending on your circumstance. The tax credit is non-refundable and does not carry over. Meaning you must claim it in one tax year, and you can't carry over any benefit into future years. IN General – if you have $7500 in tax liabilities after all your deductions, you can claim the full credit. Someone making about $56,000 a year with only a standard deduction (no kids, mortgage etc) will generally be able to claim the full credit. However, if you have significant deductions from kids / house, etc – you might run into trouble. On way of doing a quick check is to see how much you owed the IRS in taxes last year (assuming this year your tax circumstances didn't change materially). This is not the amount you paid or got refunded, but the total tax owed. (This is on Line 44 last year of your 1040)
If you hit AMT, sorry I can't help you. I don't know nearly enough about that. I'll let you know when I hit AMT
Q4: What happens to the tax credit if you sell the car?
A4: You keep it. The first individual or company to "own and register the car" claims and keeps the credit. The credit is only available once per vehicle to the first owner. So if you buy a used Volt, you don't get to claim the credit.
Q5: Can I claim the tax credit on a leased Volt / EV?
A5: No the leasing company "owns" the Volt. They basically claim the credit and factor that into the lease payments. You benefit from the tax credit through lower lease payments.
Original Post 2/26/2011:
Did you recently buy a Chevrolet Volt? Do you pay taxes in the United States? (Haha I know – who doesn't?) – well if you answered yes to the previous two questions you are entitled to get $7500 back from Uncle Sam on your next tax return! It was actually very easy to do and is supported by most common tax software.
There are a couple things that might be helpful for you to know in filling out your worksheet though and they are listed here-
- The model year of the Volt (2011 for right now)
- Gross Vehicle Weight (3800 lbs)
- Battery Capacity (16 Kw-H)
That's it! As long as you owe more than $7500 in federal taxes you'll get that back in the form of a tax credit! Check out the forms below for an example if you do it by hand or have any questions. Obviously I took our my social security number from the forms – but you get the picture.
Additionally if you purchased an EV Charging Station in Calendar Year 2010, you are entitled to a 50% credit on that installation! (Turbotax doesn't have that readily available though, so you'll need to manually file if you want to take that credit unfortunately. Sorry the credit for EV charging station installation has expired as of the end of 2011 (5/5/2012 update).

Thanks for the details Patrick. How about the credit for the charger purchase/installation?
Minor editorial note: the title of the post contains 8963, should be 8936.
What happens to the tax credit if you decide to sell the car?
What happens if your calculated tax before the credit is less than $7,500? Will you get a refund or loose the credit?
That changed the whole picture on my purchase of a Chevrolet Volt, learning this has been a SHOCK!
I don't have enough income anymore to get anything back. What a RIP.
I have a feeling that is why all of a sudden there are lots of Volt's available as folks find out that is not a direct payment but only against the persons Income TAX.
Rod in Simi valley, CA.
P.S. See US Tax form Chevy Volt Form 8936 read em and weep again the wealthy get the gravy.
I am in the same boat…the dealership straight up LIED to me and told me that no matter what I would be getting $7500 back for buying the Volt. I knew I should have read the fine print. This is GARBAGE!
I filled out Form 8936, the same as you. (The numbers copied from form 1040 vary, of course.)
I just got a letter from the IRS disallowing the credit because "the vehicle must have been placed into service after December 31, 2008 and before January 01, 2010." My vehicle was placed into service December 2010, but I thought it should qualify.
More details at http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?7120
bitguru is not alone. I got exactly the same letter from the IRS. I spoke with three different IRS Cust SVC folks and was finally sent to "Tax Law". The nice fellow there said that the IRS must have made an error and suggested that I resubmit my forms, explaining my position. It seems strange to have to explain the IRS regs to IRS folks. I hope to see my $7500 this year. They did, however, allow my SPX charger install credit.
Can I claim the $7500 tax credit on my leased Volt?
btw, I think I'm participating in a Volt focus group with you right now.
After reading the about info i will not be purchasing a volt since I can not get the full 7500
Will the tax credit still be avaiable after December 31, 2011? I think I heard California was going to add its own tax credit in 2012.
I keep reading about the credit phaseout. Does that mean I will not get the full $7500 if I buy a Vol today?
We have a used Volt for sale here in Iowa. We bought it used. Is the tax credit available on pre-owned Volts? How do I find out if the credit has been used on this car?
Patrick, your posts are conflicting. First you say that there's no tax credit on a lease, the leasing company retains that, then you say you should lease to get the benefit of the tax credit as well as the option. Which is it?
Pratick the federal tax credit still available for the 2012 model
Does the miles exclude a person from receiving the 7500 credit? What documentation is requried for filing.
can a dealer buy the car and take the credit and then sell the volt to me for 7500 dollars less than sticker price..?
Have the 200,000 sales ceiling been meet for the $7500. tax credit???
No, they havent even sold 10,000 Volts yet, much less 200,000. The credit will be going for several years.
One reason they arent selling well, is because most dealers sold them to an employee of the dealership, who then sold them to potential customers used and pocketed the $7500. Pretty lame huh? My wife wanted one, none of the dealers in our area would sell her a new one. She got a Prius.
We have a 2011 demo Volt for sale as a new vehicle. It is now 2012. Is the customer entitled to the $7500 tax credit if the vehicle is purchased and delivered in 2012?
Can you carry forward an unused portion of the $7,500 credit. For example if This year taxes I only qualify to get $5,000 of the rebate can I carry forward the remaining $2,500 to next year taxes
I Bought one Today!! Can I Sell the Tax Credit to Someone, rather than WAIT a Year and 3 months…
So I'm about to buy a 2012 Volt. But I just found this:
If the congress shoots down this rebate during the year, and the tax incentive is dropped, do I still get my $7500 tax rebate come tax time next year?
I just bought a Volt th this month and love it! I didn't research the $7500 federal rebate enough….I always get alot of money back on our taxes so I won't owe that. How do I change everything so that I can collect my money all year and pay taxes out of pocket??
It's not what you pay or get back at the end of the year. It's what your total tax liability is for the year. Example: You make $60,000.00 for the year. You've had $10,000 taken out of your paycheck – after all your deductions are calculated your tax liabilty ends up to be $9,000 for the year. You'll get the $1000 you've over paid and you'll get the $7,500 for a refund of $8,500.
If your tax liability is less than $5,000 and you've had $6000 taken out of your check you'll get $6,000 back.
That's the way I understand it.
oops – I meant to say…
If your tax liability is $5,000 and you've had $6000 taken out of your check you'll get $6,000 back.
I have a Volt, want to trade or buy a 2nd one, can I get another tax credit?
Just had my 2011 taxes done. The CPA says that because of a MAT (modified adjusted tax?) I can only get back $2200, even though I paid much more in taxes. Has anyone heard of this, or is my CPA mistaken?
"Do you pay taxes in the United States? (Haha I know – who doesn't?)"
Nearly half of tax filers in the U.S. won't pay federal income taxes this year. So I don't know what you're laughing about.
I am still very confused about the Tax Credit for the Chevy Volt. Our taxes were just completed by our CPA & since our line 46 on Form 1040 is less than the amount on line 11 of Form 8936 we do not get any of the $15,000 credit. We purchased 2 Volts in 2011 assuming we would get a $15,000 tax refund on top of what our refund already was & I guess we were just terribly mistaken. Any clarification on this. Our dealer still says we should get the $7,500 refund weather we owe the IRS taxes or not.
Hi! I have run across a 2011 Volt that was driven by a GM Executive. The Federal Tax Credit has NOT been used, although the car was registered and owned by GM. The dealership that purchased this vehicle through auction claims the federal tax credit can indeed be used in this instance because it has not been claimed on the vehicle. I am currently researching whether this is the case or not? I have spoken with my tax advisor and he indicates there is a chance the IRS will not issue the tax credit even though it has not been used on this vehicle. What is your perspective? Thoughts???
I am also looking to buy a 2011 Volt and the dealer is saying the same thing. Does anyone know if you can claim the 7500 tax credit in this situation when it has not been claimed on the vehicle?
I recently went into a dealer and they told me the Bank gets the credit and not the purchaser, since the bank technically "owns" the vehicle if you finance it.
Is this true? I am assuming people on this forum have financed their volt. I think it may just be a dealer trying to get me to lease the vehicle instead of purchasing it.
I bought a 2011 new Leaf earlier in the year, I now would like to trade it in for a new 2011 volt. Am I eleigable to take 2 full credits, or at least enough to bring my tax liablity down to zero for this tax year?
If a 2011 volt which has not been registered and used as a dealer demo was sold this year can the $7,500.00 tax credit still apply.
How do we go about getting a manufacturer's certification to obtain the tax credit of up to $7500 for Fed? I purchased a 2012 Chevy Volt in June and I already got approved for the state credit of $1500. Do I need have that certification or its that something that is filled out at the time of filing my 2012 tax returns? Please advise.
Does the $7500 tax credit still apply? I visited the irs websites listed, the information is old. Has Chvy sold 200,000 Volts yet?
Where do I find a 2012 form for tax credit on my Volt 2012? Bought it in June, 2012. Only shows 2011 form.
Thank you for replying in advance,
Donna Jean Messner
I am looking at VOLTS on the GM smart auction. They are 2011 and 2012. They have not had the tax credits used. They have under 7500 miles on them. If I buy one of these cars from the auction then sell it to myself can i still take the tax credit? I do not believe that they have been titled as they are GM company cars and they state that they have not taken the credit. Could you email my answer instead of posting or both so i know you answered. Thank you very much.
I recently bought a 2012 Chevy Volt. It was used as a demo by a dealer and had about 2500 miles on it when we bought it. According to the dealer (not the same dealer that used it as a demo), the tax credit had never been taken, so it was still available for us to claim. The main reason we bought the certified used car over the new was because of the tax credit; otherwise, it would be more cost-effective to buy new. The dealer was never able to produce any documentation proving that we were eligible to claim the credit (he said that it would come in the mail about two weeks after purchase; it never came). I reviewed the Form 8936 and spoke to someone at the IRS (Complex Tax Law department), and it appears that we do not qualify. Could you please confirm either way whether or not we would be eligible to claim the $7500 tax credit? Thank you!
As a follow-up, the dealer has stated that the car had never been titled or registered. Thanks!
Caralyn, were you able to get this resolved? I have a dealer offering a demo Volt. The dealer says the car has never been titled. Trying to figure out if I'm eligible for the tax credit. Thanks!
Is the volt tax credit available for 2013?
Is there a website that states if your volt credit has been claimed? I bought mine newish from a dealership which was sent to them by chevy from the voluntary recall, how do I know of the credit has been claimed?
Hi, this was extremely helpful. Thank you !! How do I get a 2013 form? And how do I submit early so I do not get phased out? In other words, I bought my Volt yesterday. Feb 22,2013. How can I make sure I am one that gets the credit when I do taxes a year from now? I did not even do this years taxes yet!!. Or are there more credits available than possible Vlt production?? Thank you !!
Thanks to your info, I am able to submit my $7,500 tax credit. Our CPA used the wrong form (8834) and said we only qualified for $2,500. I didn't think that was correct, so I did some searching and found this site. I was able to print out the correct forms and documents (IRS 8936, definition of slow speed car and IRS 30D) and now we are on our way for our full tax credit. Thank you!!!
I'm in a similar situation to Caralyn V above. I am considering a Volt that was purchased at auction from another Chevy dealer. The Odometer is reading 488. I understand that it must read under 500 to qualify for the federal tax credit. This may be Caralyn's problem and was not adequately explained by the IRS.
My volt is still on an MSO (manufactured statement of origin). To my understanding, that means it must not have ever been titled or registered by the original dealer. I beleive that I should be able to buy the 2013 volt and take advantage of the federal and california state credits.
Am I missing anything here?

I have been informed through my CPA that the State of Colorado decided in December, 2012 not to honor the state tax rebate. I was told this this am. I have called my dealer and Chevy Volt (who referred me to the dealer). Are there any other suggestions or is there any other recourse? I purchased in 11/2012 a 2013 vehicle after checking with my CPA (most recognized group in our area) that these tax credits were still in place. This was part of my decision making in purchasing the vehicle.
I would appreciate if you would remove my last name, and I realize it is a credit not a rebate and just mis-submitted. thanks
My tax guy didn't even fill the form out since it states right in the notes section for car purchased BEFORE 2012. I went to the IRS website and downloaded the form 8936 which still says before 2012. Now what?
Can one contact the IRS and find out if the rebate has been taken for a given VIN?
I spoke to a IRS agent in St Paul today 8/15/2014, she claimed the IRS does NOT maintain a database of VIN's which received the this credit. Frankly I dont believe that. Nevertheless she could not provide ANY information at all on how to make any educated decision.
In a tax rebate if I pay $400 to the state and $400 to the feds how does the $7500 paid to me. Im disabled and at low income
I was looking forward to my tax credit. Bought my 2012 Chevy Volt in Oct last year with the dealership telling me I was getting the $7,500. Nope. I didn't make enough money last year to get the tax credit. Only received $1,500. I'm VERY disappointed.
I bought the volt, and got the full credit, but Uncle Sam has decided to audit my taxes. What a bite. I have called them three times and they say they are still looking at it. Even so they state that I get the credit. They are slower than all heck.
I turned my taxes in before the end of feb and now it is July 23/13. Still no return. I hope to eventually get the money, as I am going to try to get the new Cadillac ELR next year. That $7500 will help buy the next one , hopefully the credit will work on the Cadillac too.
I wonder if there are any other people with this problem
I have a Volt and I love it! (and no issues with range anxiety for me!) So i'm finally gettingf around to doing my tax retrun for the beloved tax credit and I'm only getting the $2,500 portion. Isn't there another $5,000 for the increased battery capacity. The form and instructions don't say anything about an extra $417 per kwh to get the max $7,500. The form says maximum credit $2,500. You're example above updated 5/5/12 shows your input of $7,500 but maximum credit below at $2,500. Can you post the full form showing how you filed for the $7,500 credit? Thanks!
Lets say that my total tax liability for the 2012 tax year is 10,000. I have paid 11,000 over the course of the year through payroll deductions. Without the Volt I would receive a 1,000 refund. With the Volt purchase will I only receive my 1,000 refund because I over paid my liability or will I receive my 1,000 over payment plus the 7,500 tax credit for a total of 8,500 refund check? I am new at selling Chevy Volts and everyone at the dealership just tells people they get back 7,500 from IRS and I don't want to mislead people if that is not the case. I have checked with a CPA friend of mine but he is not familiar with the real life application of the Volt tax credit. Any input would be appreciated .
Honest Volt Salesman…
Desperately trying to get an answer from GM on the $7500 tax credit on a couple of (PEP) executive driven Volts.
GM says they are not titled yet, but they have been driven 4k miles each. I read above that the odometer cannot have over 500 miles on it or you do not qualify for the $7500, even if it hasn't been titled in Michigan yet.
One of the main reasons/ deciding factors for why I'm trying to big these cars is the $7500 rebates…..
Anyone at all that can help with answering this issue would be a life saver to me. Thanks in advance!
I am considering purchasing a Chevy Volt. My husband and I need a tax credit. If we were to owe 5000.00 in taxes will taking this credit for 7500.00 result in a refund of 2500.00? Are current Volt owners happy with their purchase?
Great article. Thanks for the info, you made it easy to understand. BTW, if anyone needs to fill out a form 8936, I found a blank form here http://goo.gl/IKF5te. This site PDFfiller also has some tutorials how to fill it out and a few related tax forms that you might find useful.
I am extremely disappointed to find that my new 2016 volt has no automatic garage door buttons. We now have to dig out our old garage door opener and gate opener and go through the aggrivations of managing them and keeping them out of sight so they are not stolen from the car. This is taking a huge useful technology step backwards. Its outrageous that executive decision makers would eliminate something that is used daily by the average car owner. A huge flaw in my opinion. GM, fire whoever made that brain dead decision. Its going to hurt sales as word gets out!
I agree. huge useful technology step backwards. I have a 2017 Volt, just bought it. Another terrible 'feature' since I live in Las Vegas, NV, is the black plastic seats. Comfortable for about 20 min until you start sweating.

But some highlights include:
- PZ Myers going strong what seemed like five days in a row of staying up and hanging out with us proles. The Trophy Wife was a great sport too, competing hard for the party hard award
- Rebecca Watson showing a video with Chris French dressed up as an old woman
- Robin Ince reading Ann Coulter during his comedy act. Then counteracting it by reading Richard Feynmann to calm us down.
- James Randi saying to Marit "I hate this woman." while performing magic for us. (Video coming of this, I promise!)
- Me getting a non sequitur of a slide (about munchkins) added into Richard Wiseman's talk, probably (and hopefully) to the confusion of all the other viewers who were not me.
- Richard Dawkins managing to teach me something about evolution and meme theory
- Michael Nugent telling stories of the new religion they have formed ("Dermotology") to combat the new blasphemy laws in Ireland.
And of course meeting lots and lots of other fabulous people.
Shoutouts go to
- Team Sweden (Come to Oslo in for Kritisk Masse!)
- Team German Judge (See you at TAM!)
- The Steins (Sorry we left you standing at the train station, a lost Wiseman wandering the streets made us take the metro instead otherwise he'd still be wandering there. Better see you at TAM so we can apologise properly in person!)
- Ivan the Official Representative for All Danes, we got the hugs part down, next time you come to Oslo we'll do some science as well.
- Gregory Paul for demolishing my personal hypothesis on why Scandinavia is not as religious as the rest of the world
- R-wise for hanging out with us at the airport and showing us the magic trick that made other (professional) magicians dumbfounded and suicidal, while having lovely conversations about dog-riding monkeys that herd goats
and of course to all the speakers who all were interesting and intriguing! Loved each and every talk!
Next year this conference will be in Dublin. We're looking forward to it.

Lakewood toddler vanishes; Hill Street Blues' actor makes TV plea
Jessica Moya would give her account of her personal parental nightmare dozens of times over the years: first to police, then to neighbors and family and then to reporters.
Her toddler son Anthony simply vanished in a matter of a few minutes from his grandmother's apartment. One minute he was sleeping peacefully in a bedroom. Fifteen minutes later he was nowhere to be found.
Though it happened during a period of time when many people are normally scrambling to get to work or to run errands, no one at the Lakewood apartment complex near West Sixth Avenue and West Wadsworth Boulevard would report seeing the tyke wandering around unaccompanied by an adult.
The 18-year-old mother of two awoke around 8:30 a.m. that Monday morning, June 12, 1989. Jessica had been sleeping on the floor in the apartment's living room.
She walked into a bedroom where her 23-month-old son Anthony had been put to bed the night before.
Anthony was still sleeping.
Jessica said she went back to sleep in the front room for another 15 minutes, woke and discovered the boy was gone.
The apartment door was open.
"I got scared," Moya later said. "I looked all over – in the cupboards, in the closets and under the bed. I looked everywhere."
She ran outside and looked in the apartment pool.
She ran around the grounds of the apartment complex.

Wisdom Teeth Removal The Colony TX
Third molars are also known as "wisdom teeth".
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth.
These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. Removal of the offending impacted tooth or teeth usually resolves these problems. Early removal of wisdom teeth is recommended to avoid such future problems and to decrease the surgical risk involved with the procedure.
Dr. Scott and Dr. Simpson provide wisdom teeth removal to The Colony and surrounding areas.
