Maybe this can help

Multiple-Step Income Statement | AccountingCoach.com (http://www.accountingcoach.com/online-accounting-course/04Xpg04.html#income-statement-multiple-step)

There's a lot on that website. I gave you a place to start. I'm pretty sure you can find more help if you click around.

Part 5 has a little bit more. And here's another site:
Principles of Accounting Chapter 15 (http://www.principlesofaccounting.com/chapter%2015.htm)

There's enough there to at least get you a little further before you get stuck again. It explains what the below-line items are. And the link smokey gave you shows some items that go under non-operating (or "other"). That should help you get some of this straightened out.

Then come back and ask more specific questions about the items you still don't understand. (I'll tell you right now I don't know all of those -- some of that is intermediate stuff, which I really don't do. But I can't help w/some of it anyway.)

I am still having difficulty with this:

Here is what I have so far:
