Chargers stadium design making the rounds

What do you think about this proposed Chargers football stadium design?

I missed these guys last week at the 2011 Stadia Design & Technology Expo when I went to Los Angeles to moderate this panel and write this news story, but two Australian architects from San Diego's De Bartolo + Rimanic Design Studio hit the conference to showcase their proposal for a downtown Chargers football stadium.

Their appearance did not go unnoticed. One architect e-mailed me this picture of their presentation from the expo floor.

Don’t forget to file your taxes by Monday, April 18th

Before you rush to file your taxes today, remember that you actually have three more days to get your forms turned in to the tax man.

Instead of being due on April 15, which is typically the filing deadline, your taxes are due Mon., April 18 this year.

The three bonus days come thanks to Emancipation Day, a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district.

Emancipation Day falls on Sat., April 16, but it is observed in D.C. on Fri., April 15. That prompted the IRS to extend the tax filing deadline to April 18 this year. Under the tax code, filing deadlines can't fall on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays.

Tax Day extended to April 18 - Apr. 15, 2011
