RIO RANCHO, NM, February 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Dugan's Travels, a host travel agency, is celebrating 11 years hosting independent agents from all over the United States and Canada. Dugan's Travels started hosting outside travel agents in 1999. Many of those agents are still with Dugan's Travels today. Dugan's Travels has adapted over the years due to industry changes and increased travel agent training programs with help with many travel suppliers. Dugan's Travels independent agents have the ability to attend seminars both online and at various cities.
Dugan's Travels will be having the 5th annual Dugan's Travels agent only seminar in Anaheim, California this spring. It will include training with suppliers as well as shipboard inspections for agents attending the seminar. Dugan's Travels works closely with suppliers to offer independent agents training to grow and support their travel agency businesses.
In 2010, Dugan's Travels joined forces with Clam Shell Studios to offer personalized travel agency websites for its independent agents. Clam Shell Studios offers affordable solutions for travel agents needing a website presence.
Dugan's Travels has increased the support staff to compensate for the growth of independent agents joining the agency. Agents with Dugan's Travels have the ability to communicate with all the agents working with the agency via an agent only message system. Agents at Dugan's Travels support one another and provide information to one another.
Dugan's Travels specializes in low cost and high commissions for independent travel agents. Jennifer Dugan, the owner of Dugan's Travels, has been a travel agent since 1994. She started Dugan's Travels as a way to be at work at home mom and still be part of the travel industry. She began helping those interested in travel in 1999.
Dugan's Travels is a host agency specializing in helping those who want a successful homebased travel agency succeed. For further information, please visit www.travelathome.com.

Cross-species strategy might be a powerful tool for studying human disease
2011-02-04
A new study takes advantage of genetic similarities between mammals and fruit flies by coupling a complex genetic screening technique in humans with functional validation of the results in flies. The new strategy, published by Cell Press on February 3rd in The American Journal of Human Genetics, has the potential to be an effective approach for unraveling genetically complex human disorders and providing valuable insights into human disease.
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) involve sifting through the complete set of DNA from many individuals to identify genetic ...
For stem cells, a way to keep score
2011-02-04
Ever since researchers devised a recipe for turning adult cells into cells that look and act like embryonic stem cells, there has been lingering doubt in the field about just how close to embryonic stem cells each of those cell lines really is at a molecular and functional level. Now, researchers reporting in the February 4th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, have developed a systematic way to lay those doubts about quality to rest.
They have devised a method to quickly and comprehensively characterize those cells using a series of genomic assays, ...
Ongoing policy uncertainty is detrimental for stem cell scientists
2011-02-04
While there is no doubt that the ethical controversy surrounding human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research has given rise to an uncertain policy environment, the true impact of years of frequent policy changes has not been fully assessed. Now, an article published by Cell Press on February 3rd in the journal Cell Stem Cell reports on a recent survey of several hundred stem cell scientists in the United States and begins to reveal the substantial negative impact that this uncertainty has had on them, including both those who work directly with hESCs and those who work with ...
Destined for disease: Breast cancer mutation regulates cell fate
2011-02-04
A new study sheds light on why individuals who inherit a particular family of mutations have a high risk of developing a very aggressive form of breast cancer. The research, published by Cell Press on February 4th in the journal Cell Stem Cell, shows that breast tissue cells from these individuals make abnormal cell-fate decisions even before cancer develops and provides exciting new insights into the mechanisms behind one of the most lethal types of breast cancer.
There are many forms of human breast cancer. Mutations in the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene are associated ...
Northern Mars landscape actively changing
2011-02-04
Sand dunes in a vast area of northern Mars long thought to be frozen in time are changing with both sudden and gradual motions, as revealed by images from a high-resolution camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO.
These dune fields cover an area the size of Texas in a band around the planet at the edge of Mars' north polar cap. Although the new findings suggest they are among the most active landscapes on Mars, few changes in these dark-toned dunes had been detected before a campaign of repeated imaging by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ...
Plant's immune defense revs up for the morning attack
2011-02-04
DURHAM, N.C. – Timing is everything in the long-standing arms race between the flowering plant Arabidopsis and Hyaloperonospora, a downy mildew pathogen.
Duke University researchers have found that the little mustard plant cranks up its immune system in the morning to prepare for the greatest onslaught of infectious spores released by the mildew.
It isn't news that plants know what time of day it is and change their activities accordingly, but this is the first time that a plant's defensive systems have been shown to cycle on a daily basis – even when pathogens aren't ...
Animal with the most genes? A tiny crustacean
2011-02-04
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Complexity ever in the eye of its beholders, the animal with the most genes -- about 31,000 -- is the near-microscopic freshwater crustacean Daphnia pulex, or water flea. By comparison, humans have about 23,000 genes. Daphnia is the first crustacean to have its genome sequenced.
The findings are part of a comprehensive report in this week's Science by members of the Daphnia Genomics Consortium, an international network of scientists led by the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics (CGB) at Indiana University Bloomington and the U.S. Department of ...
Quantum quirk: JILA scientists pack atoms together to prevent collisions in atomic clock
2011-02-04
BOULDER, Colo.—In a paradox typical of the quantum world, JILA scientists have eliminated collisions between atoms in an atomic clock by packing the atoms closer together. The surprising discovery, described in the Feb. 3 issue of Science Express,* can
boost the performance of experimental atomic clocks made of thousands or tens of thousands of neutral atoms trapped by intersecting laser beams.
JILA is jointly operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder.
JILA scientists demonstrated the new approach using ...
Yale scientists identify a deadly tool in Salmonella's bag of tricks
2011-02-04
The potentially deadly bacterium Salmonella possesses a molecular machine that marshals the proteins it needs to hijack cellular mechanisms and infect millions worldwide.
In a paper published Feb. 3 online in Science Express, Yale University researchers describe in detail how Salmonella, a major cause of food poisoning and typhoid fever, is able to make these proteins line in up in just the right sequence to invade host cells.
"These mechanisms present us with novel targets that might form the basis for the development of an entirely new class of anti-microbials," ...
