What You Need To Know About Drones Over Hawaii
by Malia Zimmerman
July 31, 2013 | 03:48 PM
Drones are used to target America's enemy combatants on foreign soil, to roll across Mars in search of signs of life, to scale mountains or plunge to ocean depths to find and eliminate invasive species and to retrieve information for government, news or detective agencies.
They can be nano-sized and purchased for under $50 or be as large as a 737 airliner and cost millions of dollars.
As technology progresses, the applications for drone technology is as endless as it is controversial, and some 42 states including Hawaii have legislation pending to regulate drone use.
If some key Hawaii lawmakers, military leaders and scientists get their way, Hawaii may well become one of six states selected by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to join a pilot project that integrates the use of drones and aircraft.
Hawaii is competing with 50 other bids from 37 states and government officials here hope to team up with Alaska and Oregon to test drones in all climates and terrains. An announcement is expected by the federal agency that regulates American skies this December.
Meanwhile, across the country, people continue to debate safety, liability, ethical and privacy issues surrounding drones.
* * *
The U.S. Army 25th Infantry Division's 2nd Stryker Brigade and its 3rd Infantry Brigade based at Schofield Barracks and Wheeler Air Force Base on Oahu incorporate about 120 drones into their surveillance and reconnaissance operations. The Hawaii Air Guard has another 24 drones that fly over some of Hawaii's key military bases.
At a July 25 panel at the Plaza Club in Honolulu hosted by the Hawaii Venture Capital Association and Think Tech Hawaii, the state's Adjunct General, Darryll Wongwho also heads the Hawaii Air Guardemphasized how strictly drones are regulated here, even those being used by the military for intelligence gathering.
The Hawaii Air Guard, which has 12 Raven drones that are hand-launched and another dozen Shadow drones that are car-sized and launched off a rail, must apply a year ahead with the Hawaii National Guard to get approval to use the drones.
While the military can use drones to spot enemy combatants and keep soldiers safe, or assist the government in assessing damage after natural disasters or eliminating invasive species, they also have endless scientific and commercial uses, Wong told the audience of about 200.
But Hawaii is currently stuck in a holding pattern. Technology has outpaced bureaucracy, Wong said, and he emphasized that the people who make laws and policy need to pass legislation that will catch up to technology.
* * *
Many residents are skeptical of drones flying over Hawaiian skies because they've been used as a lethal weapon in war zones overseas. In addition, since drones can hold facial recognition software, thermal imaging cameras, microphones and license plate readers, there are privacy concerns from residents who don't want drones spying on them or tracking their whereabouts.
Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom, R-Hawaii Kai-Diamond Head, introduced Senate Bill 783 during the 2013 legislative session. Senators Russell Ruderman, D-Puna-Kau, and Malama Solomon, D-Hilo-Kona, co-signed it.
The bill proposed to regulate drones, limit how the data that is gathered can be used and requires reporting by the military agencies annually as to the type of data collected and its disposition. But after being assigned to three committees including the transportation, public safety and judiciary committees, the bill failed to even get a hearing.
"Technically this bill, which is still alive in the 2014 legislative session that begins in mid-January, creates a new chapter for unmanned aerial vehicles," said Slom. "I am not into conspiracy theories or anything else, but because drones are proliferating and there are potentials for wrongdoing, there should be limitations and reporting on their use."
Slom said private commercial users have operated some form of drones for many years for information gathering such as real estate companies gathering external property information and photographs. The senators who supported the bill wanted a full discussion on the widespread and increasing use of government drones, both nationally and locally.
"Hawaii prides itself on privacy and regulatory protections, and legislation regulating drone use should meet constitutional requirements," Slom said. "The government's primary responsibility is security, however security should not come at the expense of personal liberty or absence of constitutional limitations. As we have seen during this year, there has been a proliferation of government data gathering through many sources including drones and they have been the object of several controversial revelations including those of former Hawaii resident Edward Snowden."
Avi Soifer, a constitutional scholar and dean of the William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaii-Manoa who also spoke at the Think Tech event, said privacy is a major concern and an ongoing part of the debate. While there is no reference to privacy in the U.S. Constitution, Soifer noted that people cherish their privacy and even get upset by cameras mounted on traffic lights.
While some lawmakers are concerned about privacy and limiting drone activity, others want drones incorporated into Hawaii's airspace.
Senate Public Safety and Military Affairs Chair Will Esperowho recently announced his intention to run for the 1st Congressional District seat in 2014 that's currently held by Democrat Colleen Hanabusaintroduced a resolution in 2012 encouraging Hawaii to become a test site for unmanned aerial vehicles and drones. Espero said the commercial use of drones will help diversify and bring millions of dollars into Hawaii's economy and create more high paying jobs.
There are many benefits to drones, Espero said, including using them for search and rescue, emergency preparedness, fishing, fighting invasive species, atmospheric research and more. The biggest issue regarding the use of drones is safety, especially for air traffic and within populated areas, Espero said. Other resolutions that need to be reached include who the operators will be, what the rules will be and who will be in charge of enforcing them.
Rep. Gene Ward, R-Hawaii Kai, said it would be "big time for Hawaii" if the FAA selects the 50th state as a test site for drones.
Ward also believes commercial drone usage would bring millions of dollars into the Hawaii economy, especially if companies were offered incentivized tax credits and didn't have to struggle through Hawaii's notorious government bureaucracy that sometimes slows projects for years or stops them altogether.
"Hawaii does not want to change anything," Ward said, "we rely on our good looks. But we also need to rely on our intelligence. Drones could be a game changer for us."
Ted Ralston, an ex-aerospace industry executive who served on the July 25 Think Tech panel with Ward, agrees Hawaii's economy could get a boost from a commercial drone industry and investors who believe there is a path to profit.
One important aspect is creating analytical software that can turn the data collected in to something useable, Ralston said. Ralston also stressed the importance of universities training the state's work force and noted the supercomputer on Maui is a great asset.
The industry needs to open a dialog with government, Ralston said, including the FAA, the agency he said that is two years late with issuing their drone use guidelines.
* * *
The FAA strictly regulates the use of drones in Hawaii airspace, so much so that the Department of Transportation has been unable to get approval to fly a drone it purchased in 2010 for $75,000.
The state Department wanted to fly the drone over Honolulu Harbor to protect the harbor from potential terrorist activity, but the FAA denied the request because of heavy air traffic in the area. The state did not check with the FAA about flying the drone until it received inquiries from the news website Hawaii Reporter in 2010 and again in January 2011.
The FAA then told the state the drone could not be deployed in the crowded airspace adjacent to Honolulu International Airport and Hickam Air Force Base. The drone had already been built, so the state had to accept it.
Right now, the ill-planned purchase sits in the DOT Harbor headquarters as state officials ponder whether to sell the aging drone or continue to wait for FAA approval that may never come.
Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A. Remington (Ret.), a three-star U.S. Air Force general who now works as an independent aviation consultant, wants to see the FAA take swift action to regulate drone use so they can proliferate here.
Remington, who sat in the audience at the Think Tech event, said briefly after the panel spoke that drones are not the problem. He said unmanned vehicles are reliable, and will do exactly what they are programmed to do, flying as they are directed and landing within inches of where they are told to land.
* * *
Hawaii consistent is rated lowest in the nation among states in terms of business and investment climate. That's in part why so many individuals and organizations now are strongly lobbying for the local manufacture and use of drones in Hawaii as an economic stimulus.
There is no question technology has outstripped government oversight nationally and locally. So the issue is whether a new economic engine be developed and allowed to proliferate while taking into consideration individual civil liberty concerns and typical bureaucracy by government or will this just be another example of a debate that drones on.

Black Labor Union Leader Sworn In July 20, 2010, Minority News http://www.blackradionetwork.com/page.php?storyID=15274 WASHINGTON -- When Lee Saunders was sworn-in as International Secretary-Treasurer of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), AFL-CIO, he became one of the highest-ranking African-Americans in the American labor movement. Representing 1.6 million public service workers, AFSCME is one of the largest unions in the country. The Cleveland, OH native says that he intends to use his new position to "stand up for the dignity of all work and all working people." Pledging his commitment to AFSCME members and workers across the country, he noted: "Throughout our history, this has been what we do. We come together in support of those whose names may never be known, but whose work safeguards neighborhoods and strengthens communities." Prior to his election as Secretary-Treasurer, Saunders served as the Executive Assistant to President Gerald W. McEntee. AsPres. McEntee's top aide, Saunders oversaw the union's legislative, political, retiree and public affairs activities. In addition, he created the AFSCME/UNCF Union Scholars Program, a unique partnership with the United Negro College Fund to embrace young people of color who want to join the labor movement. Saunders has managed what is acknowledged to be one of the most effective political and legislative operations in the American labor movement. In 2009-10, he supervised the largest grassroots mobilization effort in the union's history to help pass President Obama's health care reform initiative. When he started his first full-time job as a contract specialist at the Ohio Department of Employment Services, Saunders immediately joined OCSEA, the Ohio Civil Service Employee Association. He subsequently joined the AFSCME staff in 1978. Saunders says the union's top priority is to protect public services at a time when state and local governments face daunting budget gaps. Other goals include fighting against the privatization of vital public services and promoting the recruitment and training of young union leaders. He pledged to help local unions across the country mount a full-scale campaign to protect the benefits and retirement security that AFSCME members fought for and won at the bargaining table. Saunders grew up in a union household in Cleveland, Ohio. His father was a bus driver and a member of The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). After raising two sons, his mother went back to college and became a community college professor and a member of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Lee and his wife Lynne live in Washington, DC and have two sons, Lee, Jr. and Ryan. A detailed biography of Lee Saunders is available at: http://www.afscme.org/saunders PortsideLabor aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

The 3D TVs that don't require glasses cant, at the moment, get up to the same resolution as other HDTV's in there price range....
I mean would you really pay £900 for a TV that could barley reach 720p, I think not
EDIT: And yes I think you do have to be sitting directly in front of the screen for it to work properly

im baffeled , if nintendo can produce 3d images on a 5 inch screen without the need for 3d glasses why the hell are we being sold large 3d monitors which need glasses? sorry if already been answered.
I dont know 100% how tech works but..
...I did read there is a tech that displays all the images at once. When i say all i mean it show all of the 3D images at once. Depending at which angle you llok at the screen depends on which "part" of the image the eyes pick up. Its good (maybe) but expensive and I doubt any HD images will come from it since it wont be able to show it all at once.
Also it wont show the image in "popping out of the screen" 3d, but rather "sinking away in to eternity" type 3D.
Remember those holographic silver thigs you could get from cereal boxes that when you rotated it looks like the image was "deep"....I imagine its the same
This is all specualtion of course....since I have no connections with nintendo (or do I hahaha)(no i dont actually)

Look at the worldwide sale figures:
1) Wii – 70.78 million (as of 10 May 2010)
2) Xbox 360 – 40 million as of (1 April 2010)
3) PlayStation 3 – 35.7 million (as of 31 March 2010)
Combine the PS3 & 360 sales and you are close to the number of Wii's that have been sold. Sony & Microsoft can only dream of second place.
The Wii may well not be for the hardcore gamer that is likely to visit forums such as this, but you have to give Nintendo Kudos for their sales results and for expanding the videogame industry.
Sales figures taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Console_wars#Current_
How many of those Wii s are regular users though (ie more than 4 hours a week?) My missus has one that she played for about 3 months. It hasn't been touched for 18 months. And many of my collegues at work tell a similar story. I always said that the Wii's problem is that its a toy, a craze, not a gaming console. Its a craze on a par to tamagotchis, yo yos, mini scooters and them weird shoes with wheels in them.
I reckon that if you tot up the regular Wii users, you'll get at least 100 people lol-you get my point

From Engadget's hands-on with the 3DS, these things made me go
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D "The Naked Sample," meanwhile, was very impressive for a camera-control-only hands-on. A pitch-perfect replica of the first jungle level of Metal Gear Solid 3, the demo showed the handheld more than capable of PS2-quality graphics, with enough seamlessly integrated pop-out and depth effects (the foliage) to emulate a window into Snake's little world.
Resident Evil Revelations had some of the best graphics we've ever seen on a mobile device, though they were only for close-cropped cutscenes of characters -- we doubt they can keep up this sort of fidelity throughout, and the title wasn't playable. Still, a modicum of camera control let us know what we were viewing was live-rendered, and it was impressive indeed.
Space shooter StarFox 3D was one editor's favorite, and not just because it was actually playable -- like Metal Gear Solid, the demo brought the original game's first level to life convincingly, but also showed off quite satisfactory physical controls. We flew under arches in StarFox and through hoops in PilotWings with deft little motions of the analog slider, which we found both less touchy and more grippy than Sony's PSP nub. And oh yes, double-taps of the 3DS shoulder buttons had us performing loads of barrel rolls.

Nintendo should have showed Xenoblade and The Last Saga, the two games that could make me buy a Wii, but they didn't, so they obviously don't want me as a customer. But it would suck if the games weren't released here in Europe, or weren't released outside of Japan at all.

(243)Great idea for a film, but badly executed. Very disappointing. Avoid
By ASDunne (2 reviews) , 01 Jul 2013A promising idea for a story let down on all levels. The acting, whilst gritty, leaves you not caring about any of the characters, even Albert Finney, who ultimately is the victim, manages to pull off a lack-lustre performance. It's not often I wish that I'd not even put the film on - but this is one of those occasions. Disappointing.- Was this review helpful to you?

More like a French film
By a customer , 13 Jun 2013Sidney Lumet's films are mostly character led, as is this. It doesn't matter that you learn to dislike the characters as you get to see the events from different points of view, and the end is shocking. I don't think you're supposed to like the them, as the dysfunctional family falls apart. The cutting to other scenes is annoying but it made a change from all the thrillers and action films that I love. It was very much like a French film in that you get time to look at things that give you a better understanding of what is happening.- Was this review helpful to you?

Movie buffs should see this one before you're dead.
By The KnightWatcher (629 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 18 Feb 2013Dark and brooding hard hitting thriller about two loser brothers who hatch up a robbery which goes badly wrong. From then onwards things go from bad to worse and engulf the entire family. It is gritty and grim and the storyline unpleasant to watch. Uncompromising and ruthless. Best to watch it on your own as not one for an enjoyable movie night in with your partner. I nearly gave it four stars but it is spoilt a little by the unecessary jumbling up of the order of play such that it is a cobbled together series of flashbacks. Well acted and scripted though and overall a very good watchable film.- Was this review helpful to you?

The devil knows you're dead!
By Aristotle (8 reviews) , 01 Dec 2012Great storyline, great suspense, great acting. On the last Albert Finney was a bit disappointing. He seemed to be having problems with his facial expression and his accent. But Marisa Tomei was excellent as were the two other main characters and the host of secondary ones. Sidney Lumet directs the whole thing with his usual style. The recurrent flashbacks which some people do not like I found actually helpful in keeping the different points of view clear.- Was this review helpful to you?

I'm telling y'all it's SABOTAGE
By Mattiogogo (5 reviews) , 25 Oct 2012Sidney Lumet was a wonderful director. This is one of his poorest films. When Ethan Hawke first appears on screen, he looks like an extra from the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage' promo. It goes downhill quickly after.
The experimental editing and flipping between story days are very irritating.
However, if you are a fan of Marisa Tomei, then this is definitely the film for you.
Go and pick up 12 Angry Men or the Verdict, Lumet (and filmmaking) at it's best.- Was this review helpful to you?

Long before Zoe's first arrival to Tandria the fate of two siblings took an unsuspected turn:
"Two juvenile troublemakers, siblings of noble descent, are taxing my patience by defying our command and refusing to surrender their homeland. We will have to punish this impudence and make an example of these brats to show the Tandrian people that resistance against the Two Kings is futile.
Rovyn and Dracorian, Count Dracon's offspring, have entrenched themselves in Old Drakenau. It's here, in the their late father's shire, where we'll face them and put an end to their mischief.

While we debarked at the shore, the Two Kings set up camp in the north. We must interfere and help the defenseless Settlers to spur the Rebellion.

By Keith Lair Staff Writer
All basketball coach Oliver Esslinger would like is a little bit of success for his seniors.
His first recruiting class at Caltech helped make national headlines by ending a 26-year SCIAC losing streak two seasons ago. The Beavers, losers of 23 consecutive conference games since then, have come oh-so-close to getting another victory this season.
"We have had improvements every year," Esslinger said. "I want the guys to feel a few wins. They deserve it."
But time is running out for the six seniors. Caltech is 0-9 in conference play, 1-17 overall, with seven games remaining, including Saturday night against visiting Cal Lutheran. The Beavers' lone win was 60-59 over Bard, a nonconference affair 10 games ago.
The Beavers lost to Chapman, 72-65, Wednesday night. They rallied from an 11-point deficit to cut it to two points before the Panthers pulled ahead again.
They played Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, which has won the last four SCIAC titles, to overtime before losing 69-65, last Saturday.
"We've been close a lot of times," Esslinger said. "We've spent a lot of late nights trying to figure out what is working for us. It's been coming down to the last two minutes. Teams are making the plays on every possession."
Seniors Michael Edwards and Collin Murphy have started every game. Edwards is averaging 16.7 points per game, his lowest average in his four years, but he's the only Beavers player in double figures.
"He's learning to trust his teammates, who can score too," Esslinger said.
Edwards' assist-to-turnover ratio ranks him among the conference leaders.
"We're a work in progress," Esslinger said. "Nobody wants to lose and nobody wants to lose to Caltech. We're trying to get over that hump. I think it's just experience and a culture that you believe you can get it."
PCC volleyball player signs
Megan Callen became the first Pasadena City College women's volleyball player from the 2012 season to sign a letter of intent.
The middle blocker from St.Lucy's High will play at NCAA Division II Dominican University in San Rafael. She was a two-time, All-South Coast Conference selection. She helped the Lancers to a 41-10 overall record and a pair of trips to the Southern California playoffs.
Brittany Skoien of last season's Lancers softball team accepted a scholarship to play at William Penn University in West Des Moines, Iowa.
The outfielder led PCC in seven offensive categories, including a .351 batting average.
Messick leading Oxy
Reigning SCIAC women's basketball champion Occidental College has found a player to match the outside game of Mackenzie Brandon.
Elizabeth Messick has become one of the top centers in NCAA Division III. The 6-foot-3 junior is fourth in the nation in blocks per game (4.2) and 15th in rebounding (12.3). She is averaging 11.5 points per game. She's had nine double-doubles this season.
"I've been fortunate to get the ball in great spots, and we have a really active defense which allows me to protect the basket," she said. "I feel much more comfortable and confident this year. I feel like my team's put me in a position to be successful."

The music is kinda catchy though.
We got hacked! lololol
I guess these extremists knew that the most effective group of people to target was Offspring fans!
That's how you get your message heard.
Edit: PIB, I found the music to be a bit enjoyable as well, which I found funny.
When they said "sit down", I stood up.
Check out a track from A Wilhelm Scream's 2013 release "Partycrasher": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeVHRk3VWlA
Actual discourse would help. I'm always amazed how these people are skilled enough to hack websites but lack the ability to form a single coherent sentence in English.
I honestly was curious what they're upset about and I'm willing to listen to their grievances. But since they really didn't explain during their hack they achieved nothing.
It's a little depressing. So many people have important things to say but lack the means to be heard. Hackers like this have a fantastic method of getting attention but say nothing of note.
Agreed PiB, I was curious what they were talking about but it was unfortunate they couldn't even offer up a google search. To us westerners the idea of Buddhist Fascists seems like an oxymoron (though our understanding of buddhism stems a lot from yoga practitioners and stoners I'm afraid. Nothing wrong with that, just not the most reliable source.)
The whole thing was very strange. I will ask my friend if he heard anything about this while over there. (It seems unlikely though.)
Yeah that was a bit scary to see. It happened to a whole bunch of forums built by vBulletin. The fix was relatively simple though, luckily I didn't have to cancel my kayak trip.
PiB, maybe next time notify the Admins/Mods when you see it got hacked ;)

Avon's new Chief Executive Sherilyn McCoy has a daunting task in store: helping the cosmetics company catch up with the times.
Avon, which made a name for itself by popularizing the "Avon Lady" model of marketing—sending sales representatives door to door—is struggling as consumers increasingly buy products online through competitors like Beauty.com, Drugstore.com and Sephora.com. Operating profit per U.S. representative has fallen 75% over the last 10 years, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Its products can be ordered online in the U.K. and the U.S., and Avon has developed iPhone and Android apps for some of its smaller brands. However, the company's sales reps are left to their own devices when it comes to harnessing social media, smart phones, tablets and other online tools to drive sales.
McCoy, who joined Avon on Monday after a 30-year career at Johnson & Johnson, comes aboard at a time when the cosmetics company is fending off an unsolicited takeover offer from Coty. Bart Becht, Coty's chairman, told WSJ he would make a "greater investment in IT to create digital toolboxes to assist their account reps" should the takeover succeed.
Avon made headlines last year after the failed implementation of a new computer system in its key Brazilian market. The company has also been the target of an investigation by U.S. regulators into whether it broke bribery laws overseas.
Analysts and former executives polled by WSJ have predicted that turning the company around in the U.S. could take three to five years. (WSJ)

I haven't really seen much discussion about this, so I thought I would ask. Who is going to the WFC in October? Anybody taking this chance to see Brian, Silky, and ShadoeWolfe?
I just found out that I may be taking a class for work in Dallas on the 23rd - 25th. If so, I will be in prime position (well, much more prime than I am now) to be in Corpus Christi the next day. Since this would be way too much of a coincidence to actually happen, I'm sure I won't get to take the class. But I'm holding out hope!

I have already checked there (and just checked again) and I don't see anything related specifically to the WFC. All the discussion is centered around the Las Vegas signing and not the WFC in Corpus Christi.
However, if you want me to move my question there, I will be glad to do so!

Shadoe, thanks for keeping us updated like this its amazing.

Well - what can I say? The entire trip was great.
The WFC was a little bit odd...since there was NOTHING to do outside of the hotel. If you didn't go tp the panels and readings, you were in the bar. So you all know where our crew was most of the time since Brian only had one reading.
I got to finally meet DaveStrorm, Peter, Veriatus once again, and some other fans at the autograph session. Everyone was well received and it was a blast to put faces with names finally. If only the States weren't so darned big, we could all hook up more on a regular basis like our UK partners in crime. Oh well, I guess we have to take what we get.
Brian's reading was video taped and will hopefully be on the site in the next month or so, depending on how my schedule goes. I have some more pictures from the con that I will try to get up in the next couple days so you can see what all went on. As Veriatus said, the autograph session was interesting.
Well, that about covers me for the Con - great meeting everyone and hopefully more of you can make it next time!

Well, I'd have to mostly concur with Shadoe about the Con. Since I got there on Wednesday, I got to do a little bit of "sightseeing." Nothing really to see there except the beach . . . which of course was good!
I got to meet Shadoe and Heather, Keith and Jane, and Peter, all for the first time. I got to see Veriatus, Brian and Silky for the 2nd time. I got to hang out with all of them for an evening. Uh, that was pretty good. And the conversations were absolutely cracking me up! Everybody (well, especially Keith and Brian) had crazy stories that were unbelievable - yet they were so nutso they couldn't possibly have been made up. The only bad thing was I had a vertigo attack (I thought I was over them!) and was horribly sick the last day and a half.
What else? Let's see . . . I watched and listened as Brian did his reading (which was great!). I went to a panel discussion on the evolution of the vampire in fiction. I bought several great books.
Overall, I had a great time even though I got sick! I do wish we all could get together more often somehow.
All the people were great and they made me feel like part of the "group." I guess there's more I could say, but I'd just like to say "Thanks!" to Brian and Silky and everyone else who was there for making it such an enjoyable time.

Speaking of getting sick, everybody ask Shadoe and Pete how their first night of the Con left them feeling come sunrise. I guarantee you'll either get an interesting response or a downright lie! Dave Strom the Storm King, it was great to see you again.
Mucho dineiro was spent by all, but I actually managed to go home with 20 bucks in my pocket. Big Deal for me.
