The new findings come from Fastcheck, a world-leading supplier of free downloadable travel guides that has collected data from over 100 partner websites. The data reveals that demand for free PDF travel guides increased by 24% over the last 6 months, and reached a record high this month. The largest number of downloads were recorded on www.arrivalguides.com, a site that is maintained by Fastcheck. At the current rate, the company's free travel guides are projected to reach 14 million travelers in 2009. "We have seen a steady growth every year but the recession is definitely speeding up the process," says Mats Tidstrand, CEO of Fastcheck. "It seems that more people realize that they can cut their spending by finding free products online." Americans top the list With over 380 destinations and 2,000 guide variations, Fastcheck reaches travelers in over 160 countries. Increased demand has been observed in almost every market.

As expected, London - the most visited city in the world - ranks the highest (also in the U.S.), followed by Barcelona, Paris, Rome, and Berlin.

"Warring Factions" is Mashouf's first feature length documentary. Filming began in April 2007, capturing his experiences as a multi-ethnic Iranian American exploring his Muslim identity in a post 9/11 world.

"The addition of a fifth play during our last season was very well received," stated Ed Herendeen, CATF Founder and Producing Director. "In our nineteenth season, we will continue building on that energy with five new American plays from five award-winning playwrights." The 2009 season will run from July 8 through August 2 at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, and will feature the following plays in rotating repertory: Farragut North by Beau Willimon - Set in Iowa during a tight presidential primary race, press secretary Stephen has a career that men twice his age would envy. Thrown into backroom politics, how do you choose between lust for power and loyalty to the cause? This political drama is a classic tale of hubris set against the landscape of small town America… a look at ourselves. Yankee Tavern by Steven Dietz - Just when you thought you'd heard every 9/11 theory in the world… a man walks into the Yankee Tavern. There, a young couple find themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of them all. Witness this fierce and funny dramatic thriller and know once again that what you don't know can hurt you. Fifty Words by Michael Weller - Marriage is no walk in the park. This domestic drama is a hair-raising roller-coaster ride to the painful, funny, revealing and ruthlessly honest heart of modern marriage. Most audiences with any experience of cohabitation will recognize themselves in this emotional battleground of contemporary relationships. Love hurts… and it's not necessarily pretty. The History of Light by Eisa Davis (World Premiere) - Imagine your father's college girlfriend tracking you down and sending you a stack of his fervent love letters. But what if you never knew your father, or a true, reciprocal love? A young singer's life is transformed as her past becomes her present. Swelling with the music of a grand piano, here is a passionate fusion between fathers and daughters, lovers and friends. Dear Sara Jane by Victor Lodato (World Premiere) - Sweet Sara Jane, alone at home, waits for her soldier husband to return from war. After too many bourbons, she poses dangerous questions and exposes nasty secrets. Sister and mother, fantasy and fact, it's all twisted together in this mix of metaphysical stand-up and mad cabaret. One woman, not really alone, in this solo play with songs.
