Maui... Living in Pardise for Less

Larry Burke, ten year resident of Maui shares his secrets to living in Maui cheap. From flying to Maui for free to reducing your tax bill.

2011-05-08

KIHEI, HI, May 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Larry Burke, publisher of the popular greenmauiguide.com, has released a new website: Mauifrugal.net. His goal is to explain why it is reasonable for people to move to Maui as an island paradise in contrast to other places outside the U.S. He examines all aspects of Hawaii from lifestyle and economic standpoints. Mauifrugal.net highlights 30 free things you can do in Maui as well as 20 "Budget Busters." Mauifrugal.net covers everything from buying a house in Maui to paying taxes.

Larry has a BA in Economics from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard University and has travelled to 40 countries and their island paradises. He has chosen Maui to live the past 10 years and long into the future. He knows the secrets of living in paradise for less and wants to share them with you. From flying to Maui for free to Kama'aina (locals) discounts at restaurants and events.

Mauifrugal.net is a fast growing information web site for feedback email Larry Burke at larrykbur@yahoo.com

What decides neural stem cell fate?

2011-05-08

LA JOLLA, Calif., May 5, 2011 – Early in embryonic development, the neural crest – a transient group of stem cells – gives rise to parts of the nervous system and several other tissues. But little is known about what determines which cells become neurons and which become other cell types. A team led by Dr. Alexey Terskikh at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford-Burnham) recently found that expression of a gene called SOX2 maintains the potential for neural crest stem cells to become neurons in the peripheral nervous system, where they interface with muscles ...

Sticking their necks out for evolution: Why sloths and manatees have unusually long (or short) necks

2011-05-08

As a rule all mammals have the same number of vertebrae in their necks regardless of whether they are a giraffe, a mouse, or a human. But both sloths and manatees are exceptions to this rule having abnormal numbers of cervical vertebrae. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal EvoDevo shows how such different species have evolved their unusual necks. Birds, reptiles and amphibians have varying number of vertebrae in their necks, swans have 22-25, but mammals, regardless of size of animal or the animal's neck, only have seven. Aberrant neck vertebrae ...

Study adds weight to link between arsenic in drinking water and heart disease

2011-05-08

Exposure to even moderate levels of arsenic in drinking water is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, especially among smokers, finds a study published on bmj.com today. Arsenic is a natural element of the Earth's crust and high concentrations in groundwater pose a public health threat to millions of people worldwide. High levels of arsenic exposure from drinking water have already been related to an elevated risk of heart disease. Given the huge burden of heart disease worldwide, a small increased risk associated with moderate arsenic exposure could ...

This conference will be taking ...

Stem cell-related changes that may contribute to age-related cognitive decline identified

2011-05-08

Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – A new study from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) offers an explanation for why our brains produce fewer and fewer neurons with age, a phenomenon thought to underlie age-related cognitive decline. The study, published as the cover story in the May 6 issue of Cell Stem Cell, suggests that this drop in production is due to the shrinking cache of adult stem cells in our brains. "It's only recently that scientists have found hard evidence for the importance of new neuron production in the adult brain's hippocampus, a region critical for memory ...

Measurement of 'hot' electrons could have solar energy payoff

2011-05-08

Basic scientific curiosity paid off in unexpected ways when Rice University researchers investigating the fundamental physics of nanomaterials discovered a new technology that could dramatically improve solar energy panels. The research is described in a new paper this week in the journal Science. "We're merging the optics of nanoscale antennas with the electronics of semiconductors," said lead researcher Naomi Halas, Rice's Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. "There's no practical way to directly detect infrared light with silicon, but ...

US farmers dodge the impacts of global warming -- at least for now

2011-05-08

Global warming is likely already taking a toll on world wheat and corn production, according to a new study led by Stanford University researchers. But the United States, Canada and northern Mexico have largely escaped the trend. "It appears as if farmers in North America got a pass on the first round of global warming," said David Lobell, an assistant professor of environmental Earth system science at Stanford University. "That was surprising, given how fast we see weather has been changing in agricultural areas around the world as a whole." Lobell and his colleagues ...

Mutation provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms of aging

2011-05-08

A new study identifies the mutation that underlies a rare, inherited accelerated-aging disease and provides key insight into normal human aging. The research, published by Cell Press online May 5 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, highlights the importance of a cellular structure called the "nuclear envelope" in the process of aging. "Aging is a very complex process which affects most biological functions of an organism but whose molecular basis remains largely unknown," explains Dr. Carlos López-Otín from the University of Oviedo in Spain. "Over the last few ...

University of Toronto chemistry technology promises more effective prescription drug therapies

2011-05-08

TORONTO, ON – Scientists at the University of Toronto, Stanford and Columbia Universities have developed a way to measure the action and function of candidate prescription drugs on human cells, including the response of individual cells, more quickly and on a larger scale than ever before. The researchers say their "mass cytometry" technology has the potential to transform the understanding of a variety of diseases and biologic actions, and will provide a better tool to understand how a healthy cell becomes diseased. Clarifying the underlying biochemistry of cells may ...
