Hawaiians and a number of Pacific islanders say they've found canoe building and sailing to be a dynamic aspect of the rebirth of their cultures.
New Zealander Robert Busby, 32, said while Western influences have drawn Maori youths away from their native culture, canoe sailing appeals to them.
Busby's 68-year-old father, Hekenukumai, said he knew that about 800 to 900 years ago, one of his Maori ancestors had sailed between New Zealand and Hawaii.

 Spring 2006 : Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
Research into the science of the beta cell is the focus of laboratories around the world, many of which are now collaborating in order to more rapidly achieve a complete understanding of the insulin-producing cell.
A state of immune tolerance—where the body does not reject new tissue, but maintains its ability to fight infections and other dangers—is currently a priority for islet transplant doctors and patients.
Some researchers believe that tolerance itself may be the ideal goal, one which will prevent or halt the development of type 1 diabetes before it begins.

The rocky islet of Run, two miles long and half a mile wide, lies amidst the Banda Islands in the remote Pacific.
In the 17th century it was distinguished by the precious nutmeg tree that grew there in wild profusion "so that the whole countrey seemes a contrived orchard." In 1616, the Englishman Nathaniel Courthope took possession of the island for the East India Company, holding it for three years against vastly superior Dutch forces.
Nathaniel's Nutmeg is a pleasant historical trifle, but Milton (The Riddle and the Knight, Allison & Busby, 1998) needs, and lacks, a focal event or figure.
