My fellow Puebloans,
As many of you will remember during last year's recall election campaign I promised that, if elected, I would represent Pueblo's traditional values and use common sense when voting on bills that came before me. At numerous meetings in Pueblo and Pueblo West I also promised to listen to my constituents and act on their concerns. After my election I kept those promises.
During my year in the Colorado Senate I unsuccessfully sponsored a bill to repeal the universal background checks and associated fees. I was hopeful that my bill to exempt honorably discharged veterans from the $50 designer license plate fee would pass but it did not; very disappointing since surely such a small token of our gratitude for the sacrifices they made for this country was in order.
However, I was successful in getting several bills passed, among them a bill to make our citizens safer from insurance fraud, a bill to bring the recording of deeds and titles into the tech age and make it easier for county clerks and recorders to do their job, and a bill to allow the terminally ill to be administered investigational drugs if they so chose, the first of its kind in the nation.
I had hoped to be able to continue representing the voters of this district in the same manner for the next four years, but the outcome of this election has precluded me from doing so. I have called Representative Leroy Garcia and expressed my congratulations to him on his victory and I wished him good luck in his next four years representing the people of Colorado State Senate District 3.
Now I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who trusted in me enough to vote for me and elect me last year and those who continued with that trust by voting for me again this year. I would also like to thank all those who worked so diligently to seek my re-election.
Last but definitely not least I would like to thank my wife Kathryn for convincing me to enter last year's race. By doing so we embarked on an incredible journey and a humbling experience that neither of us will ever forget.
We thank you all again for making it possible and we fervently hope for the best for Colorado and especially those living in Colorado State Senate District 3.
May God Bless you all and may God Bless these United States of America.
Recently Pueblo and Pueblo West came to prominence when we became ground zero for a movement that has had national repercussions. When voters said, "Enough is enough!" and voted to recall Democrat State Senator Angela Giron, we were thrust into the national spotlight and, make no mistake, the upcoming election is going to highlight Pueblo and Pueblo West once again.
On March 15th Democrat Representative Leroy Garcia spoke at a Democratic fundraiser but could not say the word "RECALL" when talking about that monumental, that historic election and instead he called it "A BUMP IN THE ROAD."
Representative Garcia might not have wanted to use the "R" word in his comments, but at a recent Lincoln Day Dinner event Senator Rivera was not afraid to do so when asking if Representative Garcia could RECALL his "Yes" votes on the following:
Numerous anti-oil and anti-gas bills, bills that will hurt an industry that brings over 100 thousand high paying jobs to Colorado.
SB13-252 that will result in higher energy costs for folks who are already having trouble making ends meet.
HB13-1081 that requires teaching sex education to our children as young as kindergarten age.
HB13-1229 that created stricter background checks with associated fees (How many ways can you say taxes?) a bill that Senator Rivera tried to get repealed during the last session.
SB13-251 to allow illegal immigrants to obtain Colorado Driver's licenses and identification cards? (After living here illegally for years, Senator Rivera's grandmother, mother, brother and sister all returned to Mexico in the 60's to obtain visas to return to the United States and become naturalized citizens the right way, LEGALLY.)
Before and during the last legislative session Representative Garcia and Senator Rivera had conversations in which they agreed to put politics aside and do what was best for Pueblo.
But Representative Garcia told Democrats at that March fundraiser that Pueblo is a Democrat town and Democrats need to take it back. Back to what? More of Colorado's highest unemployment rates, more of Colorado's highest poverty rates, more of our severely underperforming school system?
Pueblo and Pueblo West, in the RECALL election you voted for change. Your Senator is asking for your support once again. Re-Elect Senator George Rivera to Colorado State Senate District 3.
It just makes sense!

Responsibility: | Howard Morphy. |
"For thousands of years Australian Aborigines have been making art. A manifestation of the creative forces of the Dreamtime, art is also a means of expressing individual and group identity. But while Aboriginal art keeps the past alive and maintains its relevance to the present, it also responds to new circumstances. Aboriginal art cannot be divorced from the process of European colonization that began in earnest in 1788." "In this book, Howard Morphy, one of the foremost authorities in this field, surveys the great variety of Aboriginal art to reveal what it means to its makers and users and what it can tell us about the societies that produce it. He discusses the paintings (on rock, bark, human bodies and canvas), sculptures, weapons and utensils, from across Australia, bringing out common themes but also highlighting regional diversity. The text is illustrated with outstanding examples, many published here for the first time. The result is a book that reveals the richness and dynamism of the art of one of the world's most enduring cultures."--BOOK JACKET.

OpinionOverzealous Western banks pose new threat to war-ravaged Somalia Overzealous Western banks threaten to choke off Somalia's struggling recovery by targeting the Hawala transfer system. 07 Aug 2013 11:14 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, Kenya, Somalia, United Kingdom Hawala, a payment system used to wire money to friends and family in Somalia, is under threat of extinction. Potentially straining the country's post war recovery [Reuters]About the Author Mohamed Ali Mohamed Ali, J.D., is the founder of the Iftiin Foundation which aims to encourage youth entrepreneurship in Somalia, and in 2013 was named as one of the Aspen Institute's New Voices Fellows. Story highlightsColumbus, Ohio - Every month I visit a small grocery store in a non-descript building in Columbus, Ohio, where I live, to use a service that keeps Somalia alive: "Hawala", the traditional money transfer system used throughout the Middle-East, Africa and South Asia. Similar to Western Union, Hawalas present a way to easily transfer money from one country to another, using a wide network of agents and central clearinghouses that make such transfers quick, cheap and reliable. Like many other members of the Somali diaspora, I use Hawalas to transfer badly-needed funds to friends and family at home. But the system is threatened by a new wariness among international banks used to clear the cash, which could sever an essential financial lifeline to Somalia just Columbus, Ohio - Every month I visit a small grocery store in a non-descript building in Columbus, Ohio, where I live, to use a service that keeps Somalia alive: "Hawala", the traditional money transfer system used throughout the Middle-East, Africa and South Asia. Similar to Western Union, Hawalas present a way to easily transfer money from one country to another, using a wide network of agents and central clearinghouses that make such transfers quick, cheap and reliable. Like many other members of the Somali diaspora, I use Hawalas to transfer badly-needed funds to friends and family at home. But the system is threatened by a new wariness among international banks used to clear the cash, which could sever an essential financial lifeline to Somalia just as it emerges from decades of civil war. In Britain, Barclays bank has given hundreds of Hawalas until August 12 to shut down - a step which could halt the flow of as much as $12m a month sent to Somalia from Britain. The decision by Barclays, the seventh largest bank in the world and one of the most influential globally, signals to other Western financial institutions, already suspicious of the Hawala system, not to do business with these organizations altogether. Here in the United States, scrutiny of the Hawala system over fears of money-laundering has seen banks threaten similar shutdowns. Oxfam, in a recent study with the humanitarian organisation Adeso and the Inter-American Dialogue, found that US banks are closing the accounts of Somali money transfer operators at twice the rate of their counterparts in Latin America. For those who have kept Hawala accounts open, the relationship can be described as antagonistic at best. Many banks have instituted draconian due diligence requirements for Hawala business accounts, often preemptively shutting down accounts they deem suspicious. The Barclays decision could be a tipping point, leading other banks in Europe and North America to follow suit, potentially cutting off the flow of billions of dollars from Diaspora communities to Somalia. While often depicted in the West as the financial tool of terrorist groups, Hawalas are in fact part of a sophisticated international money transfer system to speed foreign exchange inflows and investment capital. Instead of attempting to shut down Hawalas, Western banks and regulators should work to understand the Hawala system and work with remittance companies to help strengthen security within that framework. After 22 years of a civil war that saw the destruction of financial infrastructure in Somalia, Hawalas like the one I use have filled large gaps left by government institutions, banks, charities, and development agencies. Losing them would mean disaster - both for my family, and for the country at large. More than total international aid As much as $2bn is sent annually to Somalia by diaspora communities around the world - that's more than a third of the country's GDP. Ninety percent of Somali foreign currency earnings come from remittances, and 80 percent of businesses in the country are launched with start-up capital sent from abroad. By contrast, total humanitarian aid to Somalia in 2011 was just $1.3bn, making remittances the single largest source of currency entering the country. A previous effort to shut down Hawalas in 2001 was followed by a significant spike in malnutrition rates among children living in remote regions of Somalia. UN officials attributed this partly to the sudden cut off of remittance funds. During the 2011 famine NGOs and international aid organizations used Hawalas to send food vouchers to families at risk of starvation, to pay employees, and to finance emergency aid programs. In late 2010, I received a call from an uncle who lives in a small town near the Somali-Ethiopian border - drought had killed off all his livestock and food stores were running low. With five children to feed he was desperate and running out of options. I sent him money through a Hawala to feed his family - part of a wave of international assistance that poured in through the Hawala system. While most Hawala transactions are legitimate, there have been times when the system's informality and relative anonymity have been exploited to fund illegal activities including terrorism. Hawala transfers have been linked to the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, and to the Somali extremist organisation Al-Shabaab. Of course, Hawalas are not alone in being misused: Al-Qaeda used formal banking transactions and currency exchanges to finance the September 11, 2001 attacks, and last year UK-based HSBC agreed to pay a record $1.92bn fine to resolve money-laundering charges by US regulators. US government authorities did not criminally indict HSBC for fear the bank's possible failure would threaten the financial system and the livelihoods of millions. Barclays' move against Hawalas could have a similar effect in Somalia, and illustrates how banks in both Britain and the United States have become the de facto regulators of remittance companies. Work within the framework, don't destroy it Several important steps can be taken to fix the situation. Regulators should educate banks about the actual regulatory risks of Hawalas, which are often not as high as banks make them out to be. For example, following recent threats from US-based banks to shut down Hawala accounts, the US Treasury Department sent reassurances that as long banks maintained appropriate anti-money laundering programmes they would not face government sanctions. British regulators and government officials need to step in with the same reassurance to Barclays and other banks. The regulatory burden for monitoring Hawalas should be placed on the government and not banks, with clear guidelines that limit bank obligations and government officials in charge of due diligence and risk evaluation of remittance agencies. Banks, regulators and Hawala operators also need to work together to develop due diligence and monitoring strategies that work within the Hawala framework, which has its own system of checks. I spoke with my uncle last month - he had just come back from Kenya after successfully selling his cattle at the Nairobi livestock market. Following the end of the drought my family had put together some funds to rebuild his business and it was now flourishing. This would not have been possible without the Hawala system. Attempting to shut down Hawalas will have disastrous social and economic costs and will wreak havoc on Somalia's fragile economy as it seeks to rebuild.

At their core, high schools have always centered on learning.
But beyond that, what else makes a great high school?
Students at the Orange County High School of the Arts would say their school is one of the best because of the nationally recognized music, theater and arts program.
At Troy High, students could point to the stack of Science Olympiad trophies.
And students at Corona del Mar would tout how their sports teams won more CIF championships last year than any other in the county.
Orange County public high schools offer some of the richest and most diverse programs for students, whether academics, career and college preparation or culture.
Focused strengths
Many of the top schools in the Register's first-ever Best High Schools report focus on specific programs or strengths, such as International Baccalaureate programs, technology, vocational education or even sports.
This set them apart from their peers, and in some ways, helped them better prepare students for life after high school, said county Superintendent William Habermehl.
"The one-size-fits-all approach for high schools no longer applies," he said. "Different students have different needs and priorities nowadays, and not every school works best for every student."
Top-ranked Oxford Academy in Cypress had many of the highest test scores and graduation figures, but the school ranked 34th in vocational education enrollment and 48th in qualification for CIF playoffs.
In fact, most of the top academic schools scored low in strength of vocational education programs, and did poorly in sports or music and arts measurements.
The Orange County High School of the Arts and Middle College High, both top 10 campuses, don't even field sports teams. Instead, school leaders opt to have students focus more on SAT tests and other college preparation tools.
"We know what our mission is here," said Principal Jean Williams, the principal at Middle College High. "We get students ready for college. If students want football and cheerleaders, this is not the place for them."
Moving towards Magnets
The county's magnet schools ranked higher when compared to normal schools.
The two districts that had the most schools in the bottom 10 in the Register's ranking - Anaheim Union, and Santa Ana Unified - also had their two magnet schools rank in the top 10.
In many ways, magnet schools carry built-in advantages because they can recruit the best and brightest students from surrounding neighborhoods, educators say.
Parental involvement, a key component in student achievement, also tends to be higher at magnets because parents who seek out those schools have already taken an active interest in their children's education, said Santa Ana Unified trustee Audrey Yamagata-Noji.

I know there are probably 10 billion ab threads around here... but it seems I've been getting some conflicting information.
I've seen some guys say that doing abs is worthless because you aren't going to see the definition unless you cut to desired weight... which I believe is true, but they didn't say how overall body strength is affected.
I've heard people say by doing abs you are strengthening your overall core by doing abs and thereby increasing overall strength in other exercises...
I've also heard conflicting information and varying results for people in the debate about treating abs like every other body part in terms of reps/sets vs. doing obscene amounts of ab exercises and reps.
Lastly, if anybody wants to mention what they do for abs, I'd be interested.

Wicklow Way

Wicklow Way, Dublin - Clonegal, 129 km, 6 days
The Wicklow mountains roughly run southward from Dublin into county Wexford. Starting as desolate heath- and moorland, rising up to 900 m, they gradually become more gentle. On a clear day one will have good views over the patched farmland below and the Irish Sea beyond. More to the south, the hills were replanted with conifers, which may be regarded as dull, but the new forests create their own atmosphere. Still further south, the woods give way to farmland.
Glendalough monastery, a historic highlight, is right on the trail.
Clonegal is the end of the Wicklow Way, but not the end of the Wicklow Mountains. The South Leinster Way is the next path in the queue, and actually you can follow long distance trails all the way to Kerry and the Atlantic. We are speaking of the E8 and the Irish Coast to Coast Walk.
The Wicklow Way is Ireland's first long distance path and continues to be popular, facilitated of course by the proximity of the countries capital. In the hills, accommodation is scarce. The path is easy, but can be muddy.

Officials in the region have confirmed that a second American has tested positive for the Ebola virus, at the same Liberian hospital where an American doctor became infected with the virus previously.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/28/2014 (6 months ago)
Published in Africa
Keywords: Ebola, Health, Africa, International
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A vice president of Samaritan's Purse, Ken Isaacs, said that Dr. Kent Brantly-a 33-year-old medical director for the group's Ebola care cente in the Liberian capital-was stable but in very serious condition.
These two individuals were prepared to sacrifice everything to help others, please return the favor with even a simple gesture.
"We are hopeful and prayerful," Isaacs said. He said the doctor sought treatment immediately after recognizing the symptoms of Ebola.
Isaacs also identified the second American, Nancy Writebol, as a worker with a separate aid group Serving in Mission (SIM) which runs a hospital where Samaritan's Purse has an Ebola care center and is also heavily involved in fighting the ongoing epidemic. Isaacs reported that she was in stable but serious condition.
"She is showing full symptoms of the disease," he said. Writebol had been working as a hygienist, decontaminated those entering and leaving the Ebola care area at the hospital.
He said both Americans have since been isolated and are under intensive treatment.
"It's been a shock to everyone on our team to have two of our players get pounded with the disease," said Isaacs. "Our team is frankly getting tired."
Ebola is a highly contagious virus and one of the most deadly diseases in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that the African outbreak is the largest ever recorded, and has killed more than 670 people in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone since it began earlier in 2014.
Ebola has no known cure, which has symptoms including fever and a sore throat, which quickly escalates into vomiting diarrhea, and can lead to internal bleeding and death.
The WHO says that Ebola is not contagious until a person begins to show symptoms of the disease.

It started as, what would you call it — not quite a celebration — more of an acceptance deal I made with myself when my youngest child started school. A regular hair cut seemed a fitting thing, considering during the years before my kids started school, a hair cut/colour was a rare annual (6 monthly at best) luxury. My haircuts are not as regular as I planned but I do find myself documenting each hair cut/colour. I like change.
This time, I decided to keep the length, rather than go with a long bob, so my hairdresser, Monique O'Rourke, did a trim, shaping the lengths slightly around the face.
I wanted a fresh colour before heading to a conference but I left it too late to for Monique to fit me in beforehand so I dyed it myself this time. I bought the brand that was on special at the time in a safe colour (L'Oréal Dark Golden Brown 4.3). It turned out well and I'm happy with it!

By Papa is a Preacher on December 27, 2011
As a consequence of our whereabouts never being certain, when we moved to Abbotsford, daddy decided to rent. Buying a house and then leaving and having to sell a few months later wouldn't make any sense. It turned out to be a good thing because here we are, a year later packing our boxes up again.
Speaking of boxes, you'd probably guess we've become pros at reducing things to minimal space and packing just the necessary. But we're not. We're hoarders. One of the things we've been holding on to for way too long, is VHS tapes. It's sort of depressing to think, that my kids will not experience VHS tapes, bulky VCR's, fat screens versus flat screens, or boxes full of hefty VHS tapes.
We brought over from our old house, an impressively large box full of these dinosaurs. Home videos, nature videos, national geographic collections, etc. Last week, however, daddy decided to diminish that box into a package of DVD's. Our Shirley Temple collection, all our home videos, and all our nature videos, are being turned into DVD's.
So far, he's managed to convert half of our box. This is the result:
From This:
To This:
Now. Which do you think is easier to pack away and move with?
We're disposing of the VHS, and taking the DVD pack with us. Please don't tell me I need to upgrade to Blue-Ray. I know, DVD's are going to become extinct. But for now, this is progress!
Are you decluttering (apparently this isn't a word) this winter? Do you hang on to VHS tapes too?

Catherine Caine
Mark Coleman
Located at the foot of Diamond Head, Waikiki Elementary School has test scores to prove that something special is going on there. Moreover, Caine is not the first teacher from that school to be named state public school teacher of the year; colleague Matthew Lawrence was chosen in 2014.
Livingston 'Jack' Wong
Vicki Viotti
In case anyone is wondering: The new CEO of Kamehameha Schools does take occasional "ribbing" about being a graduate of Punahou School. (He met his wife, Kimi, while they were attending UCLA, but their three kids are part of Team Buffanblu, too.)
Bob Marchant
Christine Donnelly
Bob Marchant uses every bit of his life experience — as a hotel executive, a college instructor, a pastor and time in the military — in his work as executive director of the River of Life Mission, abiding by its promise to be "a friend to the friendless."
Susan Chandler
Mark Coleman
Susan Chandler says she had no particular opinions about medical marijuana before she agreed to be facilitator for Hawaii's Medical Marijuana Dispensary Task force — and as a formal matter she still is neutral when conducting the business of the legislatively created body.
Esther Kia'aina
Vicki Viotti
Esther Kia'aina, the youngest of seven children, was born in Guam, where her father was a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy. So her appointment as the assistant secretary for insular affairs — the part of the Department of the Interior that deals with the U.S. territories, including Guam — feels a bit like a homecoming, a chance to give back.
Name in the News: Sandra Pfund
Christine Donnelly
Barely two weeks as chief of the city's new Office of Strategic Development, Sandra Pfund is working to fast-track housing on city property, especially for homeless people who need "wraparound" mental-health and social services.
Ron Iwami
Mark Coleman
Ron Iwami wasn't sure in 2005 that taking on the state's Hawaii Community Development Authority and original "Big Five" member Alexander & Baldwin Inc. was something he should do.
Keone Kali
Vicki Viotti
There are parts of the state's information technology system that were built before Keone Kali, 43, was even born. Kali became the state's chief information officer in February after the departure of Sonny Bhagowalia.
Jeffrey Kissel
Vicki Viotti
Jeffrey Kissel has largely weathered the first open-enrollment period of his tenure as executive director of the Hawaii Health Connector.
Jennifer Sabas
Mark Coleman
Jennifer Sabas has been keeping busy since her former boss, U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, died in December 2012 at age 88. Resume highlights at the moment for the senator's former chief of staff include executive director of Move Oahu Forward, a pro-rail organization she joined in May 2013.
Darryll Wong
Vicki Viotti
Maj. Gen. Darryll Wong has, besides the unusual spelling of his first name, a distinction: At 64, he said, he's among the last military officers from the Vietnam era still serving in full-time status.
Jay Shidler
Christine Donnelly
"Be True to Your School" is more than a song to University of Hawaii alumnus Jay Shidler. It's a personal mantra, and a rallying cry to likeminded alumni to support what the business mogul considers Hawaii's most important institution — even if they can't commit anything close to the $100 million that he has.
Karl Kim
Christine Donnelly
Resilience is more than an individual personal trait, it's a collective community asset, one that must be learned, taught and handed down through the generations.
Michael Titterton
Mark Coleman
Michael Titterton is aware of the many concerns about Hawaii Public Radio's semi-annual on-air fundraising drives, but for now, he says, there's probably no better alternative.
Steve Colon
Vicki Viotti
The Navy has been a part of Steve Colon's life, one way or another, for more than three decades. Colon, Hawaii region president for Hunt Cos., left active duty in 1988 and retired from the reserves as a captain in 2006.
Catherine A. Betts
Christine Donnelly
The executive director of the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women welcomes the opportunity for a "culture shift" in the way Honolulu police respond to domestic violence in the wake of a highly publicized incident involving a police sergeant.
Sid McWhirter
Mark Coleman
Sid McWhirter is Hanauma Bay's version of the reluctant warrior. As president of the nonprofit Friends of Hanauma Bay, he has become somewhat of a thorn in the side of some city officials for his persistence in seeking answers about why operations at the world-famous Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve Park have, in some respects, been deficient.
Alan Oshima

Jenai Wall
Mark Coleman
Jenai Wall is a leading Hawaii business executive who believes in supporting the communities that support her famiy's businesses. It's a tradition started by her father, Maurice "Sully" Sullivan, who started the Foodland supermarket chain in 1948, opening its first store at Market City in Kaimuki.
Ivan Lui-Kwan
Vicki Viotti
In the 14 months that Ivan Lui-Kwan has chaired the board of the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, the controversial Oahu fixed-rail project has emerged from an obstacle course -- a daunting one by any standard.
Michael Gold
Vicki Viotti
Hawaii Medical Service Association, as the state's largest health-insurance company, has always been a titanic presence in the Hawaii health care industry, and as its president and CEO, Michael Gold always had a voice that carried.
Ed Case
Christine Donnelly
Political iconoclast Ed Case was back in the media spotlight on primary-election night, but not because he was running for office.
R. Mark Browning
Vicki Viotti
Briefly, before heading off to law school, Judge R. Mark Browning, 59, spent a few years as a teacher at 'Iolani School. That came with its own set of challenges, everything from instruction in math -- never his strong suit, Browning admitted -- to, upon the conversion to co-educational classrooms, the first sex-education class at the formerly boys-only campus.
Simon Engler
Christine Donnelly
To say that Simon Engler has an adventuresome spirit is putting it mildly. The computer scientist, who specializes in robotics and artificial intelligence, continually pushes his physical and intellectual limits, a mindset that makes him a natural for the Hawai'i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation.
Kristin Izumi-Nitao
Mark Coleman
Kristin Izumi-Nitao is executive director of the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission, which especially during election season commands attention for its role in making sure the many political candidates comply with laws intended to ensure the integrity and transparency of the campaign finance process.
Ruthann Quitiquit
Vicki Viotti
Ruthann Quitiquit's office is filled with the kind of bric-a-brac that marks someone who's worked somewhere a long time. "I grew up here," she said. "I came here when I was 33 years old. I'm going to be 67 in October."
Wayne Pfeffer
Vicki Viotti
In his rare free moments at home in Kailua, Wayne Pfeffer does his best to enjoy his new Hawaii environment. At 62, the two daughters are grown, he has remarried and makes sure he takes what time remains to head to the beach and bike paths.
Lance Wilhelm
Mark Coleman
Lance Wilhelm earned a bachelor's degree in communication from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1988, and shortly after began his long career in construction.
David Striph
Vicki Viotti
David Striph didn't rise in the ranks at Howard Hughes Corp. quickly; it happened instantaneously. Well into his career in real estate financing for a bank, he struck up a friendship over a major loan with David Weinreb and Grant Herlitz, who at the time wore different hats.
Chu Lan Shubert-Kwock
Mark Coleman
Chu Lan Shubert-Kwock is originally from Singapore, which could help explain her reaction to the state of Chinatown in Honolulu these days.
Carole Hayashino
Christine Donnelly
Carole Hayashino's work as president and executive director of the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii is at once deeply personal and tied to the overall history of Hawaii and the United States.
Sheila Beckham
Vicki Viotti
Sheila Beckham took over as chief executive officer of the Waikiki Health Center five years ago, at the peak of the recession, so she's seen the clinics' target population swell and, in particular, homelessness increase.
Michael Hansen
Mark Coleman
Michael Hansen isn't asking for much. After all, as president of the Hawaii Shippers' Council, it's not like he's seeking repeal of the entire federal Jones Act, also known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920.
Jonathan Parrish
Vicki Viotti
Jonathan Parrish had a moment to reflect this week, right after the close of the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra's 2013-2014 concert series and the soon-to-be announced full season for the next year, starting Sept. 13.
Jane Sawyer
Mark Coleman
Jane Sawyer has been on the staff of the U.S. Small Business Administration in Hawaii since 1993, which has given her a good vantage point from which to assess business trends in the state.
John Sosa
Christine Donnelly
Former Kaiser High School Principal John Sosa has experienced the highs and lows of working in Hawaii's public schools more intensely than most Department of Education employees
Susan Murray
Vicki Viotti
Hospital administration is a lot about numbers, and Susan Murray, chief operating officer of the soon-to-open Queen's Medical Center-West Oahu, has a lot of them right at her fingertips.
Scott Enright
Mark Coleman
Scott Enright earned his bachelor's degree in psychology and philosophy from the University of Hawaii at Hilo, but somehow ended up having a long career in agriculture.
Michelle Del Rosario
Vicki Viotti
Talk about rush-hour traffic stress. Michelle Del Rosario confronted it, both barrels, practically the moment she stepped off the plane from Maui Feb. 20, petitions to form the Hawaii Independent Party in hand.
Danielle Conway
Christine Donnelly
Honored by the UH Board of Regents for teaching excellence, Danielle Conway publishes widely and has traveled the world giving lectures and working on special projects, including a stint as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Australia.
Tony Gill
Mark Coleman
Tony Gill is a second-generation labor attorney and former Democratic Party of Hawaii official who believes that only people who publicly support the Democratic Party of Hawaii should be able to pick its candidates.
Richard Rosenblum
Vicki Viotti
Richard Rosenblum, 63, was "a very happy fella" in retirement on Hawaii island in 2008 when a recruiter happened along and pitched a new job opportunity to him: president and chief executive officer of Hawaiian Electric Co.
Randal Covin
Christine Donnelly
The Blood Bank of Hawaii is not at the forefront of changes that make it easier for people to donate blood, and that's by design. Medical Director Dr. Randal Covin describes the center as "very conservative" in its approach, with the safety of blood donors and the patients who receive their lifesaving gifts of foremost concern.
Simeon Acoba Jr.
Mark Coleman
Simeon Acoba Jr. is the latest victim of a Hawaii law that forces judges to retire at age 70, but he's actually OK with that. "That is what the law is, and that's something I basically accept," said Acoba.
Andrew Rossiter
Vicki Viotti
The ocean has been part of Andrew Rossiter's life, practically from the day he was born. Rossiter, the director of the Waikiki Aquarium, grew up in Wales, "from the side where if you go 100 yards, you're in the Irish Sea," where he and his mates would go diving for fun.
Tom Yamachika
Mark Coleman
Tom Yamachika was as surprised as anyone when Lowell Kalapa, the widely known, respected and liked president of the Tax Foundation of Hawaii, died in December at age 64.
John Holzman
Vicki Viotti
John Holzman, who is departing from the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, has been sitting at that table for all of the most turbulent, headline-grabbing episodes.
John Reppun
Christine Donnelly
Just about every good thing in life starts with a deep-rooted sense of community, to John Reppun's way of thinking. His large extended family is synonymous with the preservation of a sustainable, productive, rural lifestyle on Windward Oahu.
Dr. Christopher Happy
Mark Coleman
Dr. Christopher Happy has been on the job as Honolulu's chief medical examiner since late November and already he can tell you that some changes at the city morgue in Iwilei are going to have to be made soon.
Corey Rosenlee
Vicki Viotti
The ironic element in Corey Rosenlee's work life: The most outspoken advocate for air-conditioned classrooms in public schools, after years of teaching in a sweltering environment, now has one.
GG Weisenfeld
Christine Donnelly
Georgenne "GG" Weisenfeld moved to Oahu from New York City six years ago seeking a better life for her family, which includes her husband and two children.

Doug Cole
Vicki Viotti
At an earlier stage in his working life, Doug Cole had a real estate license and learned more about development law while he was studying to be an attorney. So he knows all about blueprints.
Marti Townsend
Christine Donnelly
Marti Townsend walks to work most days, a 30-minute trip from Makiki to her office on King Street that not only serves as good exercise but also keeps her connected to Honolulu's cityscape at the street level.
Gordon Ito
Vicki Viotti
Gordon Ito, insurance commissioner for the state of Hawaii, has an inbox filled with all matters relating to regulating insurance in the islands, with the exception of paying workers' compensation benefits. Earlier this week, the Insurance Division released rate guides for health, homeowner and car policies, posting them online (cca.hawaii.gov/ins).
Bruce Kim
Mark Coleman
Bruce Kim signed on as executive director of the state Office of Consumer Protection in July 2011 and it's been a wild ride ever since.
Charles Totto
Vicki Viotti
Charles Totto, executive director of the Honolulu Ethics Commission, like any other attorney, recognizes the importance of precision where words are involved. The words that have been causing a clash between his staff and that of the city Corporation Counsel are "administratively attached."
David Lassner
Vicki Viotti
David Lassner has spent much of his University of Hawaii career in the virtual world: Information technology, his specialty, is like that.
Alan Downer
Vicki Viotti
Alan Downer arrived early this month in the Kapolei offices of the State Historic Preservation Division, an agency that has been under the gun over the past several years.
Diane Ragone
Mark Coleman
Diane Ragone laughed at the suggestion that the legendary Johnny Appleseed might be her role model, but the parallel is hard to ignore: Nurseryman Johnny Appleseed, aka John Chapman, traveled the North America continent in the late 1700s to encourage the propagation of apple trees.
Christopher Chun
Christine Donnelly
Christopher Chun's job as executive director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association keeps him immersed in sports all year round, one of the many things he loves about his job at the nonprofit organization, which helps nearly 100 public and private schools engage student-athletes in healthy competition and ensures that they have the opportunity to compete in state-level tournaments in a diverse array of sports.
Dennis Brown
Vicki Viotti
Dennis Brown is the longest-serving president and chief executive officer of Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawaii, with 15 years at the helm and years doing other social service work. Even his graduate degree in urban planning had a focus on social program planning and administration.
Sheri Sakamoto
Mark Coleman
Sheri Sakamoto joined Retail Merchants of Hawaii as its president in July with clear ideas about what she wanted to accomplish. "I'm hoping I can help educate everyone about the impact that retailers make on our economy as a whole," Sakamoto said Tuesday. "I don't think a lot of people understand that."
Chip Fletcher
Vicki Viotti
Geologist Chip Fletcher loves what he does so much it's hard to know where the work ends and hobbies begin. He loves being around the ocean and shoreline — he lives near Kailua Beach with his family — so if the research puts him offshore with students to collect core samples, he'll never complain.
Harrison Rue
Vicki Viotti
Considering how long the debate and planning for rail have gone on already, Harrison Rue could be seen as coming in at one of the later chapters of the saga.
Yong Zhao
Christine Donnelly
Yong Zhao is no fan of the Common Core standards. Why risk the very traits that made America great — ingenuity, confidence and entrepreneurial zeal — in a quest for conformity in U.S. public schools?
Clare Hanusz
Mark Coleman
Clare Hanusz is one of Hawaii's better known immigration attorneys and advocates, thanks partly to her involvement in a criminal case that ended in 2011 against the owners of a local farming company accused of illegally importing and abusing dozens of farm workers from Thailand.
Beth Busch
Vicki Viotti
In 15 years of running JobQuest Hawaii, the state's largest employment fair, Beth Busch has seen and heard just about every job-hunting circumstance.

Jeffrey Mahon
Vicki Viotti
After a globe-trotting career, both as a naval officer and in his profession of animal care, Jeffrey Mahon's latest post offers a kind of homecoming.
Ernest Lau
Vicki Viotti
Ernest Lau is in a position to see aspects of Oahu's water supply the rest of us would rather miss: lines running through old communities, right beneath the sidewalks; exposed water pipes showing a level of corrosion that surely signals a break ahead.
Eric Gill
Lee Catterall
Wanting to become involved in organized labor as "tools of Hawaii's people," Eric Gill dropped out of college after one year and chose a job as a hotel dishwasher as the deliberate avenue toward union leadership.
Randall Roth
Mark Coleman
Randall Roth has been a "name in the news" in Hawaii for a long time, most recently as a co-plaintiff in a lawsuit against the city's $5.2 billion rail transit system, currently before the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. A decision is expected any day now, including on whether it is even within that court's jurisdiction to decide on it just yet.
Rich Bettini
Vicki Viotti
Rich Bettini never envisioned a professional career in Hawaii. But one rainy day while he visited friends, an opening in Waianae caught his eye and the friends advised him it might be pleasant to check out a job some place where it likely was sunny.
Avery Chumbley
Mark Coleman
Avery Chumbley says he didn't feel like a captain taking over the Titanic when he accepted the role as chairman of the financially beleaguered state hospital system in 2009.

George Atta
Vicki Viotti

Sandra Dawson
Mark Coleman
Sandra Dawson has been shepherding plans for the Thirty Meter Telescope through Hawaii's regulatory labyrinth for the past five years, and now, pending resolution of one last appeal, construction of the estimated $1.4 billion astronomy endeavor near the top of Mauna Kea is poised to begin.

Jim Howe
Mark Coleman
Jim Howe had three career choices not long after returning to Hawaii with a bachelor's degree in econometrics from the University of California at Santa Barbara and spending a couple years working for Hyatt Hotels: Manage the dining room at the Waialae Country Club, work for First Federal Savings & Loan as its "IRA/Keogh guy," or become a lifeguard.

Jun Yang
Vicki Viotti
It's only been a few years since the city ended its hiatus from any housing agenda, an interval that lasted about two decades. Talk about your deferred maintenance.

Ken Love

Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu
Vicki Viotti
The Oahu Island Burial Council is part of a grassroots network created under state law to make sure someone with familial ties to the land is looking out for the iwi kupuna.

Edwin S.W. Young
Lee Catterall
Upon his graduation from the University of Hawaii, Edwin S.W. Young entered the auditing profession through the arm of Congress that investigates the performance of the federal government. Many years later, he has returned to Honolulu as the city auditor.

The owner of a city-based Indian snack food chain, whose packaged savouries are a well known brand-name within India and abroad, was convicted in an attempt-to-murder case along with four others by a city sessions court here on Wednesday.
Prabhu Shankar Aggarwal and four others were found guilty of conspiring and attempting to murder a tea-stall owner on March 30, 2005. According to the first information report filed by the victim, Pramod Sharma, who survived the attack, the tea-stall owner was threatened by Mr. Aggarwal who had asked him to evict the premises.
Mr. Sharma, was shot at by miscreants early on the day of the incident and one of the bullets hit his leg.
Criminal charges under sections 307/34 and 307/120B of the Indian Penal Code and sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act were pressed against them.
Public prosecutor Biswajit Dey told The Hindu on Wednesday: "After examining all the circumstantial evidences against Mr Aggarwal - who owns the Haldiram chain - Judge Tapan Sen found the five persons guilty in the attempt-to-murder case. The quantum of punishment will be declared on January 29."
