Tuesday, March 9, 2010

It's not too late to reduce last year's tax burden

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

The W-2 and 1040 forms are flying, so it must be income-tax-filing season. A Penn State Extension money-management educator says it's not too late to do something today that can make your 2009 tax filing less "taxing." Federal tax law permits people who fall within income guidelines to establish and fund an individual retirement account, or IRA, to reduce their taxable income by paying into that account. And Robin Kuleck, Penn State Cooperative Extension director in Elk County, said an often-overlooked tax provision lets you reduce your 2009 tax bill by making a contribution to your retirement fund even after the calendar year has ended.

Musk Ox population decline due to climate, not to humans, study finds

Musk Ox (Ovibos moschatus)
Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Scientists have discovered that the drastic decline in Arctic musk ox populations that began roughly 12,000 years ago was due to a warming climate rather than to human hunting. The research is the first study to use ancient musk ox DNA collected from across the animal's former geographic range to test for human impacts on musk ox populations. The research will be published in the early on-line edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences sometime during the week ending Friday, March 12. (more)

Astronomers discover ancient, converging galaxies with Hubble's aid

Monday, March 01, 2010

A team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and other space instruments has discovered that a collection of small, ancient galaxies, called the Hickson Compact Group 31 (HCG 31), finally is coming together into one larger galaxy after 10 billion years. The images the team recorded offer a window into the universe's early years, when the buildup of large galaxies from smaller building blocks was common.
