      <title>Hawaii Energy Woes Approaching Solutions</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hawaii's energy troubles are looking toward a brighter and more sustainable future, based on recent information about the use of Smart Grid technology and wind farms. The state is currently reviewing a massive project to run undersea power cables between Lanai, Molokai, Oahu and Maui. The bidding process for a company that can conduct an environmental impact study on this process is underway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cable will be at least 30 miles long and its purpose would be to tie the islands together on one electrical grid so that renewable energy generated in Maui county could be used in Oahu where most of the state's electricity is consumed. Not only is Maui's wind farm a proposed source of renewable energy, but so are two more proposed wind farms on the islands of Molokai and Lanai.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;For anyone who has ever owned or helped to manage a business, preventable losses in the workplace are a completely familiar problem.

      <title>Hawaiian Heritage Film Festival Cultural Infusion</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Heart Strings will be playing at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center on October 11th from 3-5p.m. This is a story about Kamaka and Sons, a 100 year-old family business operating out of a tiny shop in Honolulu. They make Hawaiian musical instruments and of all the other businesses doing the same at the start of the 20th century, theirs is the only one left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This story is especially close to the heart of Hawaiian culture as it chronicles how the Kamaka and Sons Ukulele Company survived to carry on their namesake. Their Hawaiian values comprise the core of their business and reflect their unique identity and perspectives.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Learn About its Ecology if you Consider Maui Home</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;One of Maui's most accomplished non-profit organizations in the field of ecology is the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project (MFBRP). In a very admirable effort to educate both visitors and Maui residents on the island's delicate and precious natural resources, the MFBRP will be hosting lectures and hikes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course the MFBRP specializes in Maui's native birds, so they will be the main educational focus. The lectures should be exciting and illuminating, considering that Hawaii's amazing avian biodiversity is so impressive in and of itself. Images, sounds and video will be incorporated with the information provided to make the lecture as rich as possible.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Customer Service Training for your Maui Business</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Pocketbooks are pinched and budgets cinched, so how do you make the most of what you have? If your business deals with customers on any level, now would be a good time to make sure you or your employees are giving them the appropriate treatment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a little island like Maui with such a close-knit community, word-of-mouth is extremely important. Most residents have had experiences with most businesses on the island at one point or another, depending on how long they've lived here. You need to think about both customers that have been served by your business as well as those that haven't yet. For those who have experience with you, it is extremely important to develop a good repoir so that they will come back as well as recommend others to use your services.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hybrid Maui Rental Cars from Enterprise</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Four Enterprise rent-a-car locations in Hawaii will soon offer hybrid vehicles. Three are located on Oahu and one on Maui. Enterprise says that they will offer a larger selection of hybrid vehicles which can be reserved by phone or online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The increase in hybrid selection is owed to a nationwide effort spanning almost one hundred locations. The Maui Enterprise location can be found at 40 Hana Highway near Kahului International Airport. Choices include the Honda Civic and Insight or the Toyota Prius.&lt;/p&gt;

Due to certain regulations, many have recently had to close their doors, but this year, the permitting system has been processing applications faster. The Maui County ordinance to speed the process was put into place in January of this year. Since then, a third of the applicants have recieved their licenses to open their doors to guests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Between 1997 and 2008, only fourteen bed and breakfast permits were approved. This year, the Planning Department began processing permits in March and since then, 18 of 54 applications filed have been approved. So far, it looks like the new ordinance is making it easire to get B&amp;B's running whether or not they are located outside of hotel districts.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Stringent Protection for Maui Coral Reefs</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Stringent Protection for Maui Coral Reefs&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The state of Hawaii takes the health of its natural resources very seriously. With innumerable visitors attracted to the natural beauty of these islands every year, it's no surprise that the unique and spectacular ecology here should be so well guarded. The protection of coral reefs in Maui and Oahu waters has been a hot topic in the news recently as a result of a few mishaps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Snorkel Charter lost one of its boats off Molokini due to a mechanical failure back in 2006, for which it was fined $396,000. The fine wouldn't have been so high if the salvage effort hadn't tripled the damage done to coral there. Over 1,200 coral colonies were damaged at this popular diving spot as a result of this incident.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Jaws Maui Hawaii : North Shore Real Estate Specialists</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Jaws, Maui, Hawaii&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The famous Jaws surf spot is known as Peahi by locals, and graces our north shore between mile markers 13 and 14 on Hana Highway. With waves cresting at up to 70 feet, Jaws is one of the most renowned surf spots in the world. Seeing as there is no beach at Jaws, much of its fame attributes to the evolution of tow-in surfing that is necessary in order to access the monster waves it produces...&lt;/p&gt;

It's a small country town, were people share a quiet, slow paced lifestyle and attitude which many visitors appreciate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A laidback community with an earthy, New Age edge, Paia has much to offer both visitor and locals alike.  Baldwin Beach Park is one of the most beautiful white sand beaches on Maui. Offering full facilities from bathrooms to pick-nic tables, Baldwin is a favorite of water sport enthusiasts and those who prefer less crowded beaches (except for weekends!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Paia Maui Hawaii&quot; src=&quot;http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb35/rmrubino/Hawaii/9379scd.jpg&quot; height=&quot;188&quot; alt=&quot;Paia, Maui&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; style=&quot;float: left;&quot; /&gt;Paia Bay (called Baby Beach by many of the locals), is right at the edge of town right before you enter Paia. There's usually not too many people there except when the waves are up and the boogie boards and body boards are out. A beautiful sandy beach with great swimming and amazing tipe pools to explore. Paia Bay has a breakwall that creates shallow, sandy-bottomed, tranquil tide-pools that are perfect for children who may otherwise be afraid of the big open ocean.... and parents are able to relax more, knowing that their little ones are safe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mana Foods, a large health food store in downtown Paia, is frequented by people from all around the island. Featuring quaint cafes, trendy boutiques, surf shops, bakeries and numerous intercultural and spiritually enlightening offerings, Paia is a destination in itself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plantation-style &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jimsandersrealty.com/Paia-Real-Estate/Homes&quot; title=&quot;Paia Homes&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Paia homes&lt;/a&gt; of a different era line the streets, while small farms and ranches dot the surrounding landscape, maintaining the old-town feel of the area.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Back To Nature: Iao Valley State Park, Wailuku, Maui</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/8/8/9/2/ar12007632229888.jpg&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;Iao Valley&quot; width=&quot;263&quot; /&gt;Being one of the lucky residents of Hawaii there is so much to choose from in the way of favorite parks, as soon as I heard the subject posed, Iao Valley instantly popped into my head. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While you wouldn&amp;#39;t think the site of a very bloody battle -- so bloody in fact the river was said to have run red --  would be a top pick. Way back in 1790, King Kamehameha I defeated the Maui chieftains and their armies in his efforts to unite the Hawaiian Islands. This very battle was an integral part of Hawaii&amp;#39;s history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the valley is a tranquil, must visit park, with its 2,250-foot natural rock pinnacle looking over Iao Valley. This peaceful lush area is surrounded by the walls of the Pu-u Kukui Crater (part of the West Maui Mountains). Trails in the State Park run alongside Iao Stream and through the forest making for easy hikes that take you around to leisurely look at the exotic tropical plants and crystal clear pools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your time in the park doesn&amp;#39;t have to stop there! Make sure to stop at the Kepaniwai Park&amp;#39;s Heritage Gardens which is found right below the Needle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memorializing the multicultural history of Maui since 1952, the Heritage Gardens include scale models of ethnic buildings and gardens representing the immigration of Hawaii&amp;#39;s people including a New England Salt Box, Japanese Tea House, Hawaiian grass shack with taro patch, Chinese Moon Gate, Portuguese outdoor oven, and beautiful landscaping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picnic tables and fire pits are available making this garden a perfect picnic stop. Locals use it for birthday parties, first birthday celebrations or just to sit and enjoy time together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/0/4/3/2/ar120076327723405.jpg&quot; height=&quot;263&quot; alt=&quot;Kepaniwai Heritage Gardens&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Japanese Tea House&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iao Valley is a rainforest and is known to be the second most wettest area in the islands, so be prepared! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3 miles from downtown Wailuku &lt;span class=&quot;street-address&quot;&gt;at the end of Iao Valley Road&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class=&quot;extended-address&quot;&gt;Highway 32&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;locality&quot;&gt; Wailuku, Maui, HI 96793&lt;/span&gt;. Entrance is free.&amp;nbsp; Open from 7am - 7pm daily.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
