Dixie Derbt Girls season opener

Opening the 7th season for Huntsville's Dixie Derby Girls, 'Dismember the Alamo' will feature two regulation bouts- The Rocket City Rollers (Huntsville's B-team) vs. the Burn City Rollers (Auburn, AL) and DDG's Raging Rocket All-Stars against the Alamo City Rollergirls (San Antonio, TX). The season kick off will take place April 9th at the Von Braun Center's south hall.

The Rocket City Rollers will square off first against Burn City at 5pm, the first match-up between the teams. The RCR finished last season with a win against the Chattanooga Rollergirls in September, a team that recently took down the Burn City Rollers. This bout will mark the regular season skating debut for fresh meat graduates and new RCR teammembers Fluffy, Ta'naku Down, Dispatchher, Disgrace Kelley, Sawblade Sindy, and Marley Mayhem.

IRS offers tips as deadline approaches

IRS offers tips as deadline approaches

With April arriving this week, the Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers that the filing deadline for 2010 tax returns is April 18th, not April 15th. Emancipation Day is observed April 15th in Washington, DC, so most federal offices there will be closed. By law, the tax filing deadline for the nation is moved to the next business day, Monday, April 18.

Here are some tips from IRS spokesman Dan Boone for those who haven't filed yet:

1. Don't miss the filing deadline, especially if you owe taxes. File your tax return or an extension form by April 18 to avoid the late filing penalty. How much could it be? If you owe $1,000 and file late, the penalty could be as much as $250.
