The skinny jean
resurgent:
Is an ‘80s trend being reborn in Hawai‘i?
Just
when you thought that the skinny jean would stay a part of ‘80s
punk-rock culture, it has come back into the fashion scene
and ravaged the racks of stores everywhere. Once a wardrobe
staple only among such rock stars as Pat Benatar and The
Ramones, the skinny jean has reinvented itself and is considered
wearable by anyone and everyone willing to give it a try.[More]

1st U.S. wave energy generator at
KMCH
The Wave Energy Technology (WET) project is an Office
of Naval Research (ONR) venture that is using ocean waves
to generate electricity. Off the coast of the Marine Corps
Base Hawai‘i (MCBH) a WET demonstration project has
set up buoys to harness wave power. One buoy can generate
up to 20 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power 10 homes. [More]
