tinpraLook here for news updates on the aftermath of a 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti. All times are Haiti local time, which is the same as Eastern Standard Time in the U.S. and five hours behind GMT.
Check out the 5:59 pm update for Thursday...."5:59 p.m. -- The Senate unanimously passed legislation Thursday that will allow taxpayers to deduct cash donations to Haiti earthquake relief on their 2009 tax returns instead of having to wait to file the claims next year." And don't forget tonight's telethon to raise funds for Haiti, although it sounds like you'll be hard pressed to ignore it if that was your intention.
