Discover The Undiscovered

2011-04-29

CHESHIRE, ENGLAND, April 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) Firmly tucked away on the spur of Italy's heel, the dramatic coastline of Puglia is one of the country's best-kept secrets. It's a sun-soaked land of rolling vineyards, historic hamlets, colourful fishing villages and wonderfully deserted white beaches stretching as far as the eye can see.

Cycling in Puglia with Headwater allows you to explore at leisure, stopping off as the mood takes you, to enjoy long lazy lunches in pretty white villages or relaxing dips in the clear emerald seas of the Adriatic.

You'll eat well here too. Traditional Puglian cuisine uses the freshest of local fish, vegetables and fruit - and seemingly simple dishes are often made extraordinary by the ingenuity of the chefs and sheer quality of the produce. In addition to providing vast quantities of wine - including some of the best rose in Italy - the region is also responsible for over two thirds of the country's total olive oil production.

In order that you can continue a gourmet love affair with Puglia long after your holiday has ended, we are offering a free foodie bag - containing a mouth-watering selection of local pastas, cookies, almonds and biscuits - to everyone booking our Contrasts of Puglia Cycling holiday within 14 days of this mailing. To qualify, you must be travelling in April or May 2011 and you need to quote PUGOFFER at the time of booking.

* Offer applies to new bookings only (booked between 29th March and 13th April 2011) departing in April or May 2011. Offer is restricted to one foodie bag per couple (does not include basket). Foodie bag will be given to you on departure from the region. Holidays are are subject to availability and Headwater's standard booking conditions.

"Married Filing Jointly" is Not Always The Best Option

2011-04-29

"Married Filing Jointly" is Not Always The Best Option Most tax professionals would agree that "married filing jointly" is generally the most advantageous filing status. Spouses' incomes are combined, deductable expenses are pooled together and there are some benefits that are available only to joint filers. While a joint return is typically how married couples file, what if you had recently become suspicious of your spouse and the source some of his or her income? What if your spouse had been making millions or even billions from a Ponzi scheme ...

Iowa State chemist designs new polymer structures for use as 'plastic electronics'

2011-04-29

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University's Malika Jeffries-EL says she's studying doing structure-property studies so she can teach old polymers new tricks. Those tricks improve the properties of certain organic polymers that mimic the properties of traditional inorganic semiconductors and could make the polymers very useful in organic solar cells, light-emitting diodes and thin-film transistors. Conductive polymers date back to the late 1970s when researchers Alan Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa discovered that plastics, with certain arrangements of atoms, can ...

Stripping a Second Mortgage in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

2011-04-29

Stripping a Second Mortgage in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy One of current problems in the real estate market is the number of "underwater" mortgages, where the value of the properly has declined below the outstanding value of the mortgage. Banks have been extraordinarily resistant to the concept of loan modifications, where that modification would lower the principal value of the loan and bring it in line with the market value. Most people are trapped in these houses, as they cannot sell them for a high enough price to allow them to pay off the mortgage. The ...

A tale of 2 lakes: One gives early warning signal for ecosystem collapse

2011-04-29

Researchers eavesdropping on complex signals from a remote Wisconsin lake have detected what they say is an unmistakable warning--a death knell--of the impending collapse of the lake's aquatic ecosystem. The finding, reported today in the journal Science by a team of researchers led by Stephen Carpenter, an ecologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison), is the first experimental evidence that radical change in an ecosystem can be detected in advance, possibly in time to prevent ecological catastrophe. "For a long time, ecologists thought these changes ...

Missouri elk are being reintroduced in the wrong part of the state, MU anthropologist says

2011-04-29

According to prehistoric records, elk roamed the northwestern part of Missouri until 1865. Now, the Missouri Department of Conservation is planning to reintroduce elk, but this time in the southeast part of the state. While a University of Missouri anthropologist believes the reintroduction is good for elk, tourism and the economy, he said the effort may have unintended negative consequences that are difficult to predict. R. Lee Lyman, the chair of Anthropology in the College of Arts and Science, has studied the history of mammals, conservation biology and wildlife management ...

Teenage Texting: A Roadway Danger

2011-04-29

Teenage Texting: A Roadway Danger Distracted driving takes a heavy toll on our nation's highways: according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, over 5,000 motorists are killed every year in crashes that involve driver distraction. Texting while driving is an especially dangerous form of distraction, as it involves taking your hands off the wheel, your eyes off the road and your mind off of driving. Teens are not only more likely to text, they are also more inexperienced behind the wheel: drivers under the age of 21 are involved in three times as many ...

TRMM, a satellite managed by both NASA and the Japanese Space Agency, captured the rainfall rates occurring in the line of thunderstorms associated with a powerful cold front moving through the eastern U.S. on April 28. TRMM flew over the strong cold front and captured data at 0652 UTC (2:52 AM EDT) on April 28, 2011. Most of the rainfall was occurring ...

Rent Regulation Bill Advances Through New York State Assembly

2011-04-29

Rent Regulation Bill Advances Through New York State Assembly Rent regulation law or rent law, a staple in the real estate landscape of New York City, has been eroding in recent years. Established after World War II, rent laws cap the amount of rent a landlord can collect for a particular rental unit. More than 300,000 affordable apartments have been reclassified as landlords exploit loopholes to charge more for rent under the old regulations. Legislative Activity Amidst concerns that the city is becoming increasingly unaffordable, lawmakers in the state Assembly ...

Alcohol, mood and me (not you)

2011-04-29

Thanks in part to studies that follow subjects for a long time, psychologists are learning more about differences between people. In a new article published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, the author describes how psychologists can use their data to learn about the different ways that people's minds work. Most psychology research is done by asking a big group of people the same questions at the same time. "So we might get a bunch of Psych 101 undergrads, administer a survey, ask about how much they ...

California Is One of the Deadliest States for Pedestrians

2011-04-29

California Is One of the Deadliest States for Pedestrians Motor vehicle collisions involving pedestrians can happen in an instant: when a pedestrian steps off the curb, drivers inattentive to the crossing have only moments to react. Although pedestrian fatalities have actually been on the decline over the last decade, the number is still disturbingly high. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures, 4,092 people died in 2009 in pedestrian accidents. Nonfatal pedestrian injuries are even more common: approximately 59,000 were recorded in 2009 ...
