| Want early tax refund? Think twice
Income tax season won't start on time this year.
If you're not looking forward to facing the Tax Man, that's not a problem. But if you want that refund right away, it could be.
How big of a problem is not clear. Many who file early are doing so to get money back. Among them are South Florida's poorest residents. The taxpayers who qualify for thousands of dollars in the form of an earned income tax credit, which is available to people who don't make much money.

TheStar.com | GTA | Slain teen's mother weeps at murder trial
Hung was among the first officers on scene fighting to save the life of 4-year-old Scarlett Chen, who was found drowned in a bathtub in her family's northeast Toronto home on July 12, 2004. The autistic girl's mother, Xuan Peng, 35, is charged with second-degree murder. Last Sunday, Hung spoke at the funeral of her daughter, Stefanie, a spirited Grade 9 student found dying from multiple stab wounds in a snowbank near her home in the St. Clair Ave. E. and O'Connor Dr. area. A 15-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy, who has since turned 18, have been charged with first-degree murder in Stefanie's death. What triggered Hung's tears yesterday was a question from prosecutor Kim Motyl, who asked the police officer why it was some moments before she ordered Scarlett's father, David Chen, out of the bathroom where his daughter died.
Feed the Minds asks Christians to support female literacy for Lent
Christian international development charity Feed the Minds (FTM) is appealing to the Christian community to lend its support to female literacy for its 2008 Lent Appeal. The charity currently supports literacy projects within 20 countries across the Globe, designed to help women gain basic literacy skills that will benefit the individuals, their families and wider community. One such project is based in Afghanistan, where under the Taliban regime there was no female education, girl's schools were burned down and women were forbidden to work. Today, women's literacy in the country stands at only 12.5 per cent. Feed the Minds has developed literacy programmes centred on health and hygiene, with the most vulnerable in society, such as orphans or widows, selected to participate.
Pevelski, Sharks rally past woeful Leafs
Mats Sundin's No. 13 jersey competed with Joe Thornton's No. 19 teal shirt as the most popular outfit on the concourse. After the Toronto fans loudly cheered "O Canada," their team scored in the opening minutes when Nabokov got caught behind his net. Sundin collected the puck and fed Antropov in the slot for his 17th goal. Kubina added a power-play goal early in the second period. San Jose had little offensive life until Marleau scored on a slap shot that deflected off Toronto defenseman Hal Gill's stick in the slot early in the third period. Marleau has disappointed coach Ron Wilson this season, scoring just eight goals - including none in the Sharks' previous seven games. Rivet's tying goal went through several players in front, giving the defenseman three goals during a four-game scoring streak.
13 tips to save money on your next cruise
Wave season — the time of year when most cruises are booked — is just ahead. It runs from January to about mid-March, and because everyone's out there buying a floating vacation, there are lots of deals to be had. But the 2008 wave season promises to be a little different than past ones. Coming off a year in which the industry trade group Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) expected to welcome a record 12.62 million cruise passengers, an increase of about a half-million guests over 2006, there's trouble on the horizon. .
Hip-Hop Rumors: Was Obama Robbed? Soulja Boy Goes OFF!...
If that alone isn't crazy enough, the damn fool was living in a house with their mutha freakin' decomposing bodies for TWO WEEKS. She was arrested just yesterday and officials are holding her crazy a** without bail. Here is the CNN Report:
The victims, who range in age from 5 to 17 years, are thought to be her daughters. Their bodies were found when U.S. marshals served an eviction notice at Jacks' apartment in southeast Washington, D.C.
Court documents say Jacks identified the victims as her daughters Brittany Jacks, 17; Tatianna Jacks, 11; N'kiah Fogle, 6; and Aja Fogle, 5.
Earlier Thursday, Mayor Adrian Fenty said the bodies' decomposition has hindered their identification, although they were believed to be Jacks' children.
