"Sin City," however, takes noir and the graphic novel to a whole new level, with its creative camera shots, painted film, and accurate dialogue.

This is the first year communication senior Kristi Buckham has filed her taxes on her own. As the April 15 tax filing deadline approaches, local tax preparers are getting the word out about the number of resources available to filers, including local tax-preparation services, resources and Web sites devoted to do-it-yourself filing. And, like Buckham, many college students will file as independents for the first time. Buckham said she used an online tax preparation site because it was simple to use and inexpensive.
