Descripción

Hawaiʻi’s rice consumption is three times the national average—140 million pounds a year—yet all of it must be shipped in. Now, scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are testing if local rice farming is possible. Two prized Japanese varieties, Koshihikari and Hitomebore, thrived on Kauaʻi using regular irrigation, yielding results comparable to Tokyo—with grains heavier, softer, and stickier thanks to Hawaii’s sunny, warm climate. This breakthrough could soon bring rice cultivation back to the islands. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Hurricane Fausto’s Surging Danger | Honolulu News

Hurricane Fausto, downgraded to a Category One, is still packing a punch with 8-12 foot swells crashing onto east and north shores—some spots facing waves over 15 feet. A high surf advisory covers all east-facing beaches through Wednesday, with ocean safety teams urging everyone to stay out of the water or keep a safe distance, especially where lifeguards aren’t present. Hana on Maui and Kauai’s north and east shores are most at risk, with popular spots like Makapu’u tide pools, the blowhole, and Eternity Beach off-limits due to sudden, dangerous surges. Meanwhile, Maui’s new 10,000-square-foot emergency operations center—complete with 27 screens—is nearly ready to boost storm response. County officials are also advising tourists to avoid Hana, even postponing their own visit to prevent stranded vehicles, recalling past storm-related traffic disasters.

Lindsay Clancy's Insanity Defense | Honolulu News

Lindsay Clancy, a Massachusetts mom accused of strangling her three young children and attempting suicide, is facing trial with the fate of her sanity at the center. Prosecutors claim premeditated cruelty, while her defense argues severe postpartum psychosis made her criminally insane — a high-stakes, emotionally charged battle that could echo past cases like Andrea Yates. If found not guilty by reason of insanity, she’ll likely be committed, not jailed — a verdict that pits medical evidence against public perception in one of the most chilling courtroom dramas of the year.
