This doesn't have anything to do with Welles per se, but it might be of interest to some Wellesnet members.
TCM will be airing Timothy Carey's film The World's Greatest Sinner on October 24th at 2am as part of a new series of "Underground" films.
Carey was a prolific character actor who often worked with Kazan, Kubrick, and Cassavetes, and used his own money to make a few highly eccentric and personal films (this being the first).
The score, incidently, was done by a young Frank Zappa.

Schizoaffective Disorder
IntroductionSchizoaffective disorder is a serious mental illness that has features of two different conditions, schizophrenia and an affective (mood) disorder, either major depression or bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that distorts the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality and relates to others. Depression is an illness that is marked by feelings of sadness, worthlessness or hopelessness, as well as problems concentrating and remembering details. Bipolar disorder is characterized by cycling mood changes, including severe highs (mania) and lows (depression). Schizoaffective disorder is a life-long illness that can impact all areas of daily living, including work or school, social contacts and relationships. Most people with this illness have periodic episodes, called relapses, when their symptoms surface. While there is no cure for schizoaffective disorder, symptoms often can be controlled with proper treatment. What Are the Symptoms of Schizoaffective Disorder?A person with schizoaffective disorder has severe changes in mood and some of the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thinking. Psychotic symptoms reflect the person's inability to tell what is real from what is imagined. Symptoms of schizoaffective disorder may vary greatly from one person to the next and may be mild or severe. Symptoms of schizoaffective disorder may include: © 2005-2013 WebMD, LLC.

Wylie Lady Bulldogs All About Defense
By: BCH Sports
Updated: January 9, 2013
"Very defense oriented. We try to make sure we make it as hard as possible for the other team to score. Defensive toughness, and making teams work hard. If they score they have to really earn it." Says Head Coach Kurt Richardson.
"I think it's going to help us a lot because we are a more defense oriented team this year, and so I think we are stronger on defense than we are on offense." adds Hailey Brown.
"He's taught us that the best defense is a good offense and the same with an offense, the best offense is a good defense, so we are really taking pride in our defense this year and everything that pertains to that." adds Brittany McPherson.
The Lady Bulldogs entered the week ranked 18th in Class 3A. They continue District 4-3A play on Friday night when they host Big Spring at 6:15. The 6th ranked boys open district play against the Steers that night, too. That game starts at 7:30.

Very nice pearls: clear and impeccable. The size is just right. Very good quality for your money. I am very satisfied with this investment.
I ordered a matching necklace for the earrings. The pearls were all beautiful and high quality, however the shade of the necklace pearl was slightly less rose-hued than the earrings - I would have preferred a more exact match. That said, my friend was thrilled with the gift and I was happy with the value and ease of ordering.
Very pretty color and overall very pleased.
My wife lost one of her pearl earrings that we had bought previously from Blue Nile. It was no fault of Blue Nile that it was lost. She loved them so much that I had to buy another duplicate pair. The second pair is identical, and I do mean exactly identical to the first. She loves these just as much as she loved the original pair. We now have three earrings!
My wife loved these pearl earrings! The quality is great with a slightly pink hue and I received them the day after I purchased them.
Gave them to my wife as a gift and she loved them. She's been wearing them every day since. The 8.0s are noticeably larger than the 7s, which I didn't expect.

hi,after a recent memory upgrade recommended by the scanner i have to remove the cmos battery for a few minutes then reset the time etc after every shutdown.ive tried the memories in all configurations...just new one..just old one...both..different order and nothing works except removing the battery.all i get is a no signal message on my monitor...is there a permanent fix for this or is it a faulty memory??..its a 1 gig to 3 gig upgrade.thanks
Will there be a 16 GB (dual-ranked, DDR3) ECC UDIMM? (And if not, why not?)
The currently released Ivy Bridge and Haswell server chips only support UDIMM. Now, 1x16GB RDIMM is available in a few products. But 1x16GB UDIMM seems to not exist. This limits Ivy Bridge and Haswell servers to 32GB, and that's with 2x8 meaning the memory channels must slow down.
I have three HP Desktop Pro 3120 PCs, each with four RAM slots, which are in pairs, one of each pair being blue, the other in each pair being black.
Each PC has the original 3GB (1x1GB, 1x2GB) RAM installed. All PCs are being updated to Win7 64-bit. I have upgraded two of these PCs by purchasing 8x2GB strips, removing the original RAM and fully populating them with the new stuff.
I have one PC left, and six strips of the original RAM, 3x2GB and 3x1GB.
Whilst I would ideally like to purchase another 2GB strip so that I can max out this unit, right at this moment I cannot afford this (I know, it's only £15, but I've hit a budget limit).
To make the most of what I have there seem to be three options and I just want to find out if either of the first two are prohibited by any technical limitations before I power the thing up and start messing around further with its innards:
All the remaining RAM is as supplied with the units from HP so there should be no speed issues, it's just a capacity question.
Thank you very much

It once was common in the big leagues to have player-managers who would both set the lineups and insert themselves into the cleanup position. The last in the national pastime was Pete Rose for the Cincinnati Reds in 1986. In politics it has become increasingly common, with governors/presidents more routinely coming off the bench to try to swing for the legislative fences.
One such is Gov. Nathan Deal who, if he didn't hit one out of the park regarding HOPE scholarships and technical college students the other day at least should be awarded a ground-rule double. If this signals a new emphasis on scoring an employable workforce for Georgia instead of simply cutting budget no matter who gets left stranded on base, it is a great sign.
What Deal did was publicly announce — news conference and all — his support for a plan to allow technical students, such as those at Georgia Northwestern serving this region, to remain eligible for the HOPE grant with a 2.0 grade-point average. That's where it used to be until 2011, when manager Deal told the lineup of legislators to kick it up to 3.0 as part of several moves to get the lottery-funded higher education and pre-K programs into financial balance.
THAT NEEDED to be done and also affected traditional colleges/universities, although mostly by reductions in HOPE tuition funding to less than the previous 100 percent. However, manager Deal and his General Assembly locker room basically used a lineup that weakened rather than strengthened the state's economic offense. More correction is actually needed, but at least there is visible recognition that having a workforce with identifiable skills has long since replaced strong backs as the primary job talent.
Nonetheless, it still takes a good team player to put himself into the lineup in full view of a booing, hissing crowd and then provide a clutch hit.
Indeed, this turned out to be a team effort — something notably lacking in Georgia politics of late. It was Democrats who offered a series of bills to repair this tech-college whoopsie one day while Deal made a bipartisan display of swinging at it the very next day. He probably hit an underhanded lob that was by design. He gets the cheers but the team wins, which isn't a bad thing in these circumstances.
What had happened, for those not up with the score before Deal's hit, is that the tech changes saw system enrollment plunge by 24,500 students a year from an earlier total participation of 170,860, of whom 75 percent rely on the HOPE to keep going. Some 9,000 were believed to have vanished due to the new grade rule alone, the rest probably coming from higher out-of-pocket costs of starting or continuing.
The Deal/Democrats proposal adds an estimated $5-$8 million to HOPE funding, readily affordable given the lottery revenues gained $32 million in the past year. This is atop Deal's earlier first swing at this workforce ball by adding $6.5 million to provide extra financial aid to students in three areas known to have large numbers of unfilled positions in the state: practical nursing, commercial truck driving and early-childhood care and education.
BOTH ARE good moves — corrective adjustments to play the percentages known to lead to success, like putting in a left-handed pinch hitter. While this will do much to bring some students back and keep others enrolling, as a result stabilizing a highly successful technical college system, it is to be hoped that manager Deal and budget-setting legislators know there is a difference between a timely hit in the bottom of the ninth to win a game and creating a team that will lead the national league at the end of the season.
An overall workforce that is built of a wide array of necessary skills for both current and future employment is the whole season for Georgia. Power, speed, fielding, pitching — Georgia's future will need them all.
The so-called "traditional" colleges and universities are very much a part of this as well, and similarly need more and better attention. They, too, now demand ever-increasing levels of attainment.
However, for too long, little-appreciated is that employment numbers for doctors, lawyers and corporate chiefs have always been lower than for butchers, bakers and candlestick makers (who are basically machinists) and computer programmers. Adequate supplies of all of these are needed in any viable workforce and, for too long, not enough stress has been placed on some occupations perhaps not sufficiently appreciated and where "learning" can be quite different that what is normally thought of.
This grade-point thing, now abandoned, for the technical colleges is a good example. Look at the course offerings there. They heavily involve occupations where hands-on ability is fundamental. One not only has to know what should be done; to pass, the student has to prove he or she can do it.
THAT MAKES, in tech schools, the passing of many tests more difficult and "above average" grades harder to attain. It is a fundamental difference that the 2.0 grade-average recognized and the now-abandoned 3.0 did not.
That 3.0 survives for the HOPE at the traditional schools. Unfortunately, as a recent national study showed, this appears to have led to the same sort of "grade inflation" somewhat notorious in Georgia high schools to assure a B average and a "free ticket" the traditional book-learning classrooms. (The technical colleges have always had different acceptance standards for students.)
According to the results involving a survey of a wide range of traditional colleges — two- and four-year, public and private — some 43 percent of all grades currently being "achieved" there are A's, an increase of 28 percent points since 1960. And almost nobody now flunks a course unless they never show up.
That, of course, is at least in part the result of students needing a strong grade showing not only to retain the HOPE but all sorts of other scholarships and assistance. Add in that colleges, in times of economic tightness, need to retain those paying tuition in order to stay afloat, and it all becomes more understandable.
Then consider that many parents continue to consider the gauge of how smart and successful their offspring are by grades alone — and that governors and legislators seem to evaluate the successful outcome of education by the same standards — and it is apparent that this is a bit of re-education that Georgia needs to attempt as well.
TO WHATEVER extent Deal and state legislators may now be moving into this more realistic and balanced approach, that is worth the waving of tomahawks or whatever fans of a smarter workforce would use with a possible rally in the offing. Dollar bills, maybe.

currently i'm using JSP for presentation layer.
JSP works great with spring security because i can wrap html table columns in <sec> tags i show only columns that logged in user has privileges to see.
Now i'm planing to refactor presentation layer to use javascript DOJO framework and feed tables with JSON using ajax.
My problem is how to limit JSON serialization?
If domain object contains many properties how can i configure serializator to generate JSON witch contains only data from model properties based on current user roles?
Can spring security be used in that way, so i could define access roles on class property level?
If not, are you aware of some framework that has this capabilities?
thx for help,

John Gray: Polo, the sport of divot stompers
I have a confession to make. While I love movies where good guys chase bad guys and things go "boom," I am also a sucker for a good romance — "Message In A Bottle," "When Harry Met Sally" and the subject of today's dalliance; "Pretty Woman."
I have always had a soft spot for "Pretty Woman" and not because I harbor some secret desire to borrow my bald friend's Maserati and go pick up a hooker. There is an undeniable charm to the movie that makes me watch again and again.
I have always wanted to re-create one of the scenes in the film (no, not the piano scene, smarty pants) — the stomping of the divots. That innocent little moment when they go out onto the field at the polo match and stomp around in the grass replacing the tussled turf.
Does such a world of romance and pure fun exist outside of Hollywood screenplays? The answer is "yes," in Saratoga.
I had been to the Saratoga Polo fields twice in my life, once for a charity event I was hosting and the other time to interview TV host John Walsh about missing children.
While I glanced at the field, I never actually sat down and experienced the polo match.
That all changed two weeks ago when I drove up the Northway with my significant other to see what all the excitement was about.
It was a blast and not at all what I expected. When you go to a Yankee game or any big time sports event, there are two ways to experience it — people dressed in nicer clothes, sipping champagne in the expensive suites and the rest of us in shorts and T-shirts kicking back in the cheap seats.
Polo is exactly the same way. On one side of the field you have people in khakis and button-down shirts sitting in comfortable chairs, with waitresses and a surprisingly affordable menu.
On the other side of the field, you have the tailgaters who literally back their cars or trucks up to the field, pull out their coolers and have a grand old time. Continued...
Being a novice and a fan of khakis, I opted for the "club house" side. I worried it would be rich people acting snooty, but it was regular people acting nice.
While people do watch the match from time to time, much of the polo experience is chatting with the people around you. A wonderful gentleman and his wife could tell I was confused by the game and he kept leaning in to tell me what just happened and why. He could have been a millionaire or had $10 in his pocket, all I know is the guy was a doll and funny.
Being a reporter, I love to people watch. I could see many of the people at the match knew each other, as did their children and this was simply a chance to enjoy the sunset, get a bite to eat and catch up.
I didn't venture to the tailgate side, but they also seemed to be having fun, especially when the horses galloped by or a ball left the field in their direction. Just like baseball, they let you keep the ball if you catch it. Unlike baseball, when the polo game is over, you can meet the players in person and have them sign the ball.
They don't play quarters or innings like in other sports, they mark the time by something called a "chukker." There are six chukkers in a match, each lasting seven minutes. At halftime, the announcer called for the moment I'd been waiting for. He invited people on both sides of the field to come out on to the grass for the "stomping of the divots."
He didn't tell us to "beware the steaming divots" like in "Pretty Woman," but I thought of it and smiled just the same.
People rushed the field, some with their dogs, others throwing Frisbees. It was the most fun I've had in some time on a Sunday evening.
I know what some of you are thinking — TV anchor likes going to fancy polo match. Not true.
I'm from South Troy and I still drink my beer out of the bottle. Saratoga Polo is for anyone who enjoys hanging out with friends and watching amazing athletes do amazing things.
Trust me, hitting that little white ball with a stick while racing 30 miles an hour and not falling off the horse is impressive. Continued...
Oh, and the people who run the place are as nice as you'll find in the Capital Region.
So, if you too are a fan of "Pretty Woman" and have always wanted to tap in to your inner Edward and Vivian, I highly recommend it. And at $25 a carload on the tailgate side, it's a whole lot cheaper than a trip to the movie theater.
I plan to go back up before the season ends Labor Day weekend. I hope to see you there.

If you want IRS tax help with questions about charitable giving, you are not alone. Most taxpayers wonder about the best way to transfer money or assets to their favorite charities. The laws on this topic are rather complicated, but for average taxpayers the challenge is not overly daunting. In fact, the huge majority of charitable giving consists of three types of donations; cash, appreciated assets, and hard assets.
No matter how you help, always get a receipt for your donation and keep accurate records. It is also a wise idea to do a bit of checking on the status of the charity. Make sure the organization is entitled to accept tax-deductible donations before donating.
Cash is the most common form of donation for all charities. Whether you use a credit card, debit card, check, currency, or coins, the IRS considers the donation to have been made in cash. Charitable entities love to receive cash because it allows them to pay rent, car expenses, travel costs, and all sorts of immediate expenses.
Donating appreciated assets is a win-win situation for the donor and the recipient. IRS rules allow you to take full credit for the asset's value as a tax deduction, but do not require that you pay tax on the full value of the asset, only on the original cost. This law is a boon to donors. Recipients also benefit by receiving a valuable asset that may even continue to increase in value.
Hard assets like cars, trucks, jewels, and coins are the third most common type of charitable donation. Be sure you keep track of these assets as best you can for accounting later on.
If you want IRS tax help with your return, visit the local agency office. IRS agents will help you fill out your tax return accurately. Or contact your local tax accountant today to get personalized help in making sure your taxes are filled out correctly, donation deductions and all.

Having your yearly taxes audited by the IRS is something that no one wants to deal with. Still, it is a task that we all know happens to many of us every year. Besides the constant avoidance of ever being audited, most people try to keep proper tax records and this is done so by having a professional prepare them. But what else can a person do if they get audited?
First off, one needs to do everything that is asked of an individual tax preparer. This means that you need to gather up all info that could be helpful along with knowing your rights. Once this is taken care of, get the exact findings on the audit and go from there. You can either appeal the audit, which there are a few steps a person can take in doing that or you could take the case to the court system. However, the latter should be done only if you know you have a winning case.
Here are some ways you can prepare for an audit however you should always try to get some tax help if you need it:
1. Contact your tax preparer.
2. Find experienced representation.
3. Never ignore an audit.

Tax relief for the self-employed is hard to come by these days. Some people look to the childcare deduction as a way to save money on their tax bills. There are a few IRS rules that deal with the childcare situation, however, and you should make note of them if you want any tax relief from the high cost of childcare. Just because you have childcare expenses does not mean you can take the deduction. The IRS has listed a set of criteria that you must meet in order to take advantage of the law.
First, the government says you must have earned income before you can take any deductions for childcare costs. If you have a business, but it does not produce any income, then you can't take the deduction. That is the bottom line. According to the IRS, tax relief in this situation is only available for businesses that have earned income. Similar to the rules that govern gambling loss deductions, if there is no positive income, then the deduction can't be taken.
Though the earned income test is the primary hurdle in this area of tax law, the IRS has a few more rules for you to follow if you want tax relief. Any childcare providers must not be related to you and must not be able to claim your child as their own dependent. In essence, that means you cannot employ blood relations to take care of your kids. Some argue that this law causes families to seek outside help when they could more easily take care of their own.
Finally, the IRS wants you to keep records pertaining to childcare providers that you use. In other words, they will ask for details about the people to whom you paid the money. If you cannot find the information, then you will at least have to make an honest effort to locate it. Tax relief is not an easy goal in the area of childcare expenses.

If you are in need of IRS tax relief, there are many commonsense, inexpensive things you can do to find out if you tax debt is resolved, and then to resolve it if it still exists. Of course, if you have tax debt that you are able to pay, there are numerous methods to take care of it with the IRS, including an offer-in-compromise. But, if you dispute the tax debt which the IRS says you owe, you should find a competent tax attorney who has a long record with IRS tax relief issues.
An attorney will do one thing that might be outside the scope of your own abilities, and that is the verification of the debt. The IRS makes mistakes, no doubt about it, so the first thing in a tax case is to verify the tax owed. If, after the attorney discovers that you do indeed owe the tax, you are unable to pay the amount owed, you have various ways to go from that point.
Perhaps the most common way to alleviate significant tax debt is through an OIC, also known as an offer-in-compromise. The OIC is a method whereby the IRS can actually settle your tax debt for less than half of the full amount, depending on a number of factors, like income, assets, and your ability to pay. If payment of the entire amount would create a financial hardship, then it is likely the IRS will accept your offer.
The key thing to remember here is that an OIC is not a set amount or percentage of the tax owed. You have to determine the offer to make. This is where a tax professional comes in. Yes, you will likely have to pay a legal fee for the service, but you could end up saving many thousands of dollars if your offer is accepted, and enjoy IRS tax relief at last.

If you need IRS tax help, the most important single piece of advice is to act quickly. In every encounter you have with the agency, time is of the essence. Respond to all letters and phone calls as soon as possible. Even if you are unable to pay what you might owe, tax professionals say that the main thing is speed. People who land in the most tax trouble, and end up needing IRS tax help, are those who ignore the agency's letters and phone calls.
When it comes to an IRS tax levy, keep in mind that the agency has the right to seize any bank accounts that have your name on them, as either a joint or sole owner. Typically, the IRS does not attach bank accounts unless the taxpayer has been completely unresponsive. For the government, asset attachment is a last resort.
There are some simple ways to get IRS tax help . Your tax professional knows that the IRS only has so long to collect a debt from you. Depending on the situation, there could very well be a statute of limitations in effect. If this is the case, the agency will act without haste to get what they think you owe them.
Remember, if you think the IRS is about to seize your bank account or home, you should contact a tax professional immediately. Only the experts know all the ways to stop the IRS dead in its tracks. In addition, do not forget that the government is more likely to take personal property than a residence, simply because the paperwork is easier for them.
If you feel you need IRS tax help, do not delay. It is much wiser to hire a tax professional before the going gets tough. As with your personal health, a bit of prevention can make a huge difference in the end.

We all have a bucket list, some of which may be a little more extravagant than others. One thing is certain though - they are usually expensive, exotic and probably impossible. A couple of those things can't be helped, however the expensive part can be.
IRS tax help is waiting to ensure you get some of that money back. I know what you are thinking, "Why would the IRS help me?" Well it is all about numbers and the more you spend, the more the economy makes and the more the economy makes the more the government makes. This is why bucket list items are perfect for deductions come tax time. In fact, many people do not know about this little secret and only the richest of people have accountants who get them this break.
Here are some potential write-offs that you just might want to do this year ends:
- Purchase a sailboat and take it around the world
- Go hiking in the South American rain forest
- Learn a new language
- Get married
- Win a marathon
- Take the scenic tour down Route 66
- Go gambling
- Open a winery
- Write a book
- Adopt a child
- Start scholarship funds
- Build a backyard home office
- Learn horseback riding/golfing/etc
- Buy a new bedroom/living room suite
- Go skydiving
- Get a college education
So get out there and live a little, and cross off an item or two on your own bucket list. Be sure, however, that you consult a tax professional before claiming one of these write-offs. The process for claiming bucket list items can be extensive, and one mistake can often mean extra attention from the IRS.

If you're looking for tax help , know that there are a variety of tax professionals out there. Standard tax preparers, which are usually the least expensive option, generally deal with relatively simple returns. Certified public accountants belong to professional accreditations, while enrolled agents may represent clients in front of the IRS in case an audit occurs. Tax attorneys work with clients who have major tax and legal needs.
When deciding upon a tax professional for your tax help needs, do your research. Tax professionals require different forms of compensation. Some like to be paid in the form of a flat fee or hourly rate, while others ask to be compensated a percentage of your tax return. Always go with professionals who are paid by a flat fee or hourly rate.
Before choosing a tax professional for your tax needs, make sure you're aware of their qualifications. Know if they work with a professional organization that requires they follow a code of ethics and take continuing education credits.
Always choose a tax professional who will be responsive to your needs. If you're working with an organization, ask to meet with the individual who will be preparing your taxes and become familiar with that individual's qualifications.
Even when a professional prepares your taxes, you are still responsible for that appears on your filed paperwork, so it's essential that you feel comfortable with your chosen tax professional. Choose a tax professional that will provide the highest quality of service at the lowest price, as well as one that will be easy to contact and makes you feel comfortable.

While you may not have too much say over your property taxes in general as they are decided on by school and town boards as well as the legislators and state and federal mandates, there may be ways to legally save on your property taxes and get some tax help . Some studies have shown that taxes in some areas of the country have increased by close to 35% over the past five years.
The assessments on your property are determined by the current sale price of properties in your area as well as the replacement price of your own property. A per thousand rate is assessed on the value of your property and that is what you pay taxes on. There are ways to lower your property taxes though by accepting any rebates that your state may offer.
You need to check and make certain your property assessment is correct. You don't want to have to pay excess taxes simply because your property assessment is not in line. If your tax assessment is incorrect you can ask for a hearing to discuss the issue. Also make certain you are claiming any exemptions you are entitled to.
If you buy a property jointly, then the joint owners are eligible for tax rebates as well as being able to split the price of the taxes. A property tax consultant can also work with you to help you save on your taxes. You need to decide whether the fee they charge could be worth the potential amount of money you save.
Prior to buying a home you will want to check on the amount of property taxes that will be assessed, what the values of the homes in the area are and how many or how large the tax assessments and increases have been in recent years.

Don't panic if you discover you've made a mistake on your taxes and the IRS is now sending you collection letters and calling your house. You can't dodge your obligation for long, sooner or later you will have to make a payment arrangement with the IRS, but you can clear this debt off of your plate and out of your budget.
When faced with an IRS bill, and if you find you can't pay the bill in 120 days or fewer, you will need to work with the IRS to get the debt taken care of. There are several types of payment and installment plans you can work out with the IRS. Remember, however, that no matter which plan you come up missed payments will bring the IRS asking for the full and immediate payment. Don't agree to a payment plan that you won't be able to adhere to.
You will first need to discover from the IRS whether you qualify (income-wise) for an installment agreement to pay off your tax obligations. Even under an installment plan, taxes and penalties will still accrue but at a lower rate in some instances. You may need to consider taking out a bank loan to cover your IRS debt obligation because paying off the IRS as compared to a bank loan may save you money in the long run. Carefully compare the benefits and interest rates that will be charged by any entity in which you get a loan from.
Truly, paying the IRS in full is the best option but it simply might not be an option if you're unable to secure a loan from another source. In some cases, individuals opt to put their taxes on a credit card an option. Interest rates on credit cards, however, are typically higher than what the IRS will charge. Yet some people simply feel that getting the IRS off their back is the way to go and will take the higher interest in order to be free of the IRS.
Keep in mind that when you're filing your taxes and find that you can't make the whole payment that is owed, you will have up to 90 days before the IRS will typically come knocking. Make certain that even if you don't' have the full amount that you owe available that you still mail in a partial payment as a gesture of good will.
So don't start to panic when the IRS calls. Be proactive and timely in resolving your taxes, and you'll find yourself debt free in no time.

The IRS suggests that you file your taxes electronically and with reason: there are, actually, several benefits to doing so. Currently, nearly eighty percent of Americans file their taxes electronically. If you are still hesitant about electronic filing, rest assured that the IRS has processed over one billion tax returns securely in this fashion in the past twenty-two years. Each year, less people are filing with the traditional paper and mail tax system.
Not just anyone is allowed to provide E-filing services. This is a safe process, as E-file providers must adhere to strict guidelines and offer the highest forms of encryption technology. Once you have filed electronically, you receive acknowledgment from the IRS within forty-eight hours that they have received your return. Additionally, if your return was rejected, you will get specific information as to why in your receipt. This will allow you to make corrections and resubmit in a timely manner.
Many filers like the electronic option because they receive their refund faster than the traditional methods. This is especially true if you choose the direct deposit option while e-filing. Often times, a refund is received in as few as ten days.
If you find that you will owe taxes, you have more options with e-filing, as well. You can e–file early and then set a date for an automatic payment withdrawal on or before the tax due date. This means, you can file and be done but not have to pay out your money until the due date.
Tax preparers can also take care of your e-filing for you. This can be done through Free File or www.irs.gov.

When it comes to individuals who work in the service industry a question that always comes up at tax filing time is whether tips are taxable and whether they have to be reported on your income. Tips come in the form of money or other items given to a waiter or waitress at your favorite restaurant, to the hairdresser at the salon, or a myriad of other service providers that receive gratuities for a job well done.
The IRS wants individuals who receive tips to know that tips are indeed taxable income. Tips received are subject to Social Security, Medicare taxes, federal income taxes and in some instances, state or local municipality taxes. Tip income can be measured in the form of actual cash or other items of value that are given to a server, including such items as: movie passes or tickets to sporting events or even tangible gifts.
Individuals who receive tips as part of their compensation must include that money in their gross income on their tax returns. Whether you receive the tip in the form of cash directly from a customer, if it is divvied out after having been added to a credit card bill, or whether you split tips with co workers, it must be reported.
In addition to reporting tips to the IRS on your income tax form, you need to report tips received – over $20 on a monthly basis – to your employer. The reason for this is that your employer has an obligation to report this income and withhold federal, Social Security and Medicare taxes from that amount.
To protect yourself in the event of an audit, each person that receives tips should keep a daily log of their tip income – whether cash or other tangible items. You can download a form from the IRS website – Publication 1244 Employees Daily Record of Tips – as a way to track your tip income.

Many people overlook getting a receipt for charitable donations. This remains true although a high majority of people give to charity, as research shows that only one-third of people who donate to charities make certain that they get a receipt. Anytime a charitable donation is made to an accredited non-profit, however, a receipt should be asked for, as this receipt is an important aspect of financial planning in reference to your taxes.
For many, the benefits of supporting a favored charity or institution are incalculable. Whether from personal experience, personal ties, or just a deep seated passion for a charity's cause, charitable donations are just one thing that many people do in order to give back. Tax relief with tax breaks available from these donations is just a bonus.
Whether the donation is large or small, getting a receipt for your taxes is beneficial. Gathering these receipts only makes sense as it can offer you some tax relief. Even very small donations can add up. By combining all of the receipts you gather, after giving a little bit to any number of charities, you may find that you have a noteworthy tax write-off. Using these donations as a collective whole will maximize your tax relief.
people who do donate used items to charities, such as furniture, toys and clothing, can usually get a tax receipt for their donation. Although this is not a money donation, it can be used toward relief on your taxes. Even donations to political parties, national or international emergencies, or a charitable matching program at one's place of work are areas many do not consider retaining a receipt for, but that can be used on your taxes.
So next time you give to your favorite shelter or to that cause you believe in, see if you can get a receipt for your donation. Not only will your donation help a good cause, but you can possibly get some tax relief this year in order to help out again some time soon.

I'll say it again, "the more mundane, such as routine traffic stops, service requests, noise complaints and domestic disturbances" should be included in Danville Express. Danville residents need to see all the things that require the time of our Police Dept.
In any case, auto burglaries are becoming so common, in a short time, they too will be considered mundane. Go figure

Why wasn't the location of the carjacking posted? I would be very interested to know where it was. This is a seious, frightening crime which occurred in our neighborhood.

Good evening,
I just wanted to take a moment to provide some additional information to clarify the �carjacking� reported in the police log.
The initial call that came into dispatch did indeed report it as a carjacking in process. That was what the witness interpreted the situation to be.
The responding officer, however, determined that it was a dispute which led to an arrest. However the log posting shows the original dispatch of the call.
We appreciate the attention that many of you give the log and will continue to work to provide accurate information in a timely fashion.
Thanks and have a great weekend!

A U.S. delegation arrived at Islahiye Refugee Camp in Turkey on Thursday to inspect the temporary town, population 8,825.
"Our expectation from the United States, from the U.S. delegation, is to enable these people to go home as soon as possible," said Islahiye District Governor Osman Beyazyildiz.
So far, the camp established in March 2012 has cost more than $17.8 million, Beyazyildiz said.
Many Turks are being gracious hosts.
The Anadolu news agency said Turkey delivered new toys Thursday to 4,500 children living in a tent city in Nizip. And the state-run news agency TRT reported that, in addition to public and private groups sending food to displaced Syrians, some secondary school students have been donating "part of their allowances."
U.S. delegation member Anne Richard, assistant secretary of state for population, migration and refugees, thanked the Turks for providing refuge.
"We are very, very grateful to the governor and the people of Turkey for their incredible generosity to their neighbors who are fleeing Syria," Richard said, pointing out the United States "has been" and "will continue" providing assistance.
Overall, the United States has contributed $210 million of "humanitarian assistance" to the "heartbreaking" cause, delegation member Nancy Lindborg of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) said.
Syrian state television said Thursday the Assad regime was trying to help the refugees as well. The TV station flashed an "urgent" banner, which translates as, "Based on the political program to resolve the crisis in Syria, the Interior Ministry is calling on the Syrian citizens who crossed the border illegally or legally to come back to the country, and all the necessary measures to resolve their situation will be available to them."
Al-Assad and other top officials, including Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi, celebrated the birth of the Prophet Mohammed on Thursday inside a Damascus mosque, as shown live on state television.
