SAN DIEGO, CA, August 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pardee Homes has announced that they have reduced prices on move-in ready townhomes at Highlands Village at Carmel Country Highlands. The builder is offering this special for a limited time on their popular Plan 1 and Plan 1X models, and will also include $10,000 towards HOA dues or closing costs.
"This is great time to buy and an exceptional opportunity to live the Carmel Valley lifestyle without the typical Carmel Valley price," said Rachel Collins, director of sales for Pardee Homes. "Coastal-close Highlands Village offers affordability, location, lifestyle and now special pricing and incentives for these stylish move-in ready two bedroom townhomes."
Priced from the mid $400,000s, the versatile Highlands Village Plan 1 is a great choice for first-time buyers who may want a roommate or are thinking of co-purchasing a home because it is available with two traditional bedrooms or with two, very equal, yet separate master bedroom suites. The configuration with two dual master bedrooms includes two full bathrooms with showers and tubs, dual sinks and large walk-in closets. Either way, with nearly 1,300 square feet, they are both great floor plans with an open living/dining room, big kitchen, pantry and direct access to the two-bay garage.
An extensive list of included features such as fully-equipped kitchens with slab granite countertops, luxurious master baths and large walk-in closets is complemented by Pardee's LivingSmart package of standard and optional measures that boost energy efficiency, save water and improve indoor air quality.

Bringing it all together is the Pardee Buying Smart program, an easy interactive guide to buying a home. The process helps the buyer through financing, design choices, construction, escrow and moving with handy worksheets, a mortgage calculator and even a wish list to capture everything the buyer is looking for in a new home.
Highlands Village offers a total of five floor plans that have from two to four bedrooms, two and one-half baths and approximately 1,274 to 2,069 square feet. Pardee plans on building 167 two-story townhomes at this location, which is the last new home neighborhood to be built in the Carmel Country Highlands master planned community.
Comprising more than 800 acres, Pardee's master-planned community of Carmel Country Highlands is perched high atop a breathtaking ridge in San Diego's North County. The community overlooks nearby horse trails, open space and preserved open hills, all of which unfold around a number of close-knit neighborhoods including Pardee's Bridle Ridge and Carriage Run, both offering new, single-family detached homes.

Simple blood test at high street opticians could help to diagnose diabetes
2011-08-31
A simple finger prick test during routine eye examinations at high street opticians could help to identify millions of people with previously undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes, according to new research.
The researchers suggest earlier diagnosis could set people on the road to better management of the disease, which is the leading cause of blindness in the working age population, and that this could ultimately result in cost-savings for the NHS.
The Durham University study suggests that screening for the condition in unconventional settings, such as opticians, chiropodists ...
Ghostwriting remains a fundamental problem in the medical literature
2011-08-31
An editorial this week in PLoS Medicine concludes that in the two years since extensive ghostwriting by pharmaceutical giant Wyeth to promote its hormone drug Prempro was exposed through litigation intervention by PLoS Medicine and The New York Times, medical ghostwriting remains a prevalent problem with few concrete solutions in sight. This week also sees the launch of the PLoS Ghostwriting Collection, which documents everything published across the PLoS journals on the topic.
Among these are three new articles published earlier this month in PLoS Medicine that provide ...
New Stanford method reveals parts of bacterium genome essential to life
2011-08-31
STANFORD, Calif. — A team at the Stanford University School of Medicine has cataloged, down to the letter, exactly what parts of the genetic code are essential for survival in one bacterial species, Caulobacter crescentus.
They found that 12 percent of the bacteria's genetic material is essential for survival under laboratory conditions. The essential elements included not only protein-coding genes, but also regulatory DNA and, intriguingly, other small DNA segments of unknown function. The other 88 percent of the genome could be disrupted without harming the bacteria's ...
Death rates in newborns remain shockingly high in Africa and India
2011-08-31
Neonatal mortality—deaths in newborns, aged 3 weeks and under— has declined in all regions of the world over the past two decades but in 2009, more than half of all neonatal deaths occurred in five countries—India, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Furthermore, over the past 20 years, more than 4% of all babies born live in India died during the first month of life.
These shocking findings come from a comprehensive and detailed analysis led by Mikkel Z Oestergaard, from the World Health Organization and partners published in this week's ...
Mobile phone data help track populations during disasters
2011-08-31
Mobile phone positioning data can be used to monitor population movements during disasters and outbreaks, according to a study published in this week's PLoS Medicine. The study, conducted by Linus Bengtsson and colleagues from the Karolinska Institute, Sweden and Columbia University, USA, finds that reports on the location of populations affected and in need of assistance can be generated within hours of receiving data.
Population movements after disasters make it difficult to deliver essential relief assistance to the right places and at the right scale. In this geospatial ...
Rural areas at higher risk of dengue fever than cities
2011-08-31
In dengue-endemic areas such as South-East Asia, in contrast to conventional thinking, rural areas rather than cities may bear the highest burden of dengue fever—a viral infection that causes sudden high fever, severe headache, and muscle and joint pains, and can lead to a life-threatening condition, dengue hemorrhagic fever.
In a study led by Wolf-Peter Schmidt from the Nagasaki Institute of Tropical Medicine, Japan, and published in this week's PLoS Medicine, the authors analysed a population in Kanh-Hoa Province in south-central Vietnam (~350,000 people) that was affected ...
Health systems research needs overhaul
2011-08-31
In the conclusion to a three-part series of articles addressing the current challenges and opportunities for the development of Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR), Sara Bennett of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore USA and colleagues lay out an agenda for action to help build the field: 1) local actors, including policy-makers and researchers, must have a greater say in determining the nature of HPSR conducted; 2) a better shared understanding of theoretical frames and methodological approaches for HPSR, including journals, methods training, ...
Viruses in the human gut show dynamic response to diet
2011-08-31
August 31, 2011 – The digestive system is home to a myriad of viruses, but how they are involved in health and disease is poorly understood. In a study published online today in Genome Research (www.genome.org), researchers have investigated the dynamics of virus populations in the human gut, shedding new light on the gut "virome" and how it differs between people and responds to changes in diet.
"Our bodies are like coral reefs," said Dr. Frederic Bushman of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, senior author of the study, "inhabited by ...
Study shows balloon pump use prior to angioplasty does not reduce heart muscle damage
2011-08-31
DURHAM, N.C.—Inserting intra-aortic balloon pumps prior to angioplasty in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) does not reduce the scope of heart muscle damage, a condition referred to as infarct size, according to a new study conducted by Duke University Medical Center researchers.
The findings were published online today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and presented at the European Society of Cardiology in Paris, France.
The intra-aortic balloon pump works by increasing the blood supply to the heart, which reduces the heart's ...
Stanford/UCSF scientists invent new way to disarm malaria parasite
2011-08-31
STANFORD, Calif. —A novel technique to "tame" the malaria parasite, by forcing it to depend on an external supply of a vital chemical, has been developed by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California-San Francisco. The scientists have, in effect, created a domesticated strain of Plasmodium — the one-celled parasite that causes malaria — that would no longer cause this dreaded disease.
Their findings not only make it possible to grow large volumes of this modified parasite, but also reveal how the parasite's very survival ...
