This brief was submitted by the United States as amicus curiae in State of Hawaii v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs. It argues that Congress' 1993 apology to native Hawaiians for the 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii did not undermine the State of Hawaii's authority over 1.2 million acres of public lands held in trust. The brief asserts that the apology resolution was hortatory and did not alter existing federal laws giving Hawaii title and authority to manage the lands for specific purposes. It urges the Supreme Court of Hawaii to reverse its injunction barring Hawaii from transferring the lands without a settlement with native Hawaiians.

Cb legislative session january 2013 toplines & demographicsHonolulu Civil Beat
A survey of 813 registered voters in Hawaii was conducted between January 7-8, 2013. The survey asked respondents their views on various policy issues that may be considered in the upcoming Hawaii state legislative session, including legalizing gambling and establishing a state lottery, same-sex marriage and civil unions, addressing the state's budget deficit, and other topics. Respondents expressed a variety of opinions, with some supporting and some opposing different proposals.
This document summarizes a Supreme Court case regarding Hawaii's authority to sell state lands. The Court held:
1) The Apology Resolution passed by Congress to acknowledge the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom did not strip Hawaii of its sovereign authority to sell or transfer state lands.
2) While the Apology Resolution expressed regret and supported reconciliation, its language was conciliatory and did not create any substantive rights or alter the legal status of state lands.
3) Neither of the Apology Resolution's two substantive provisions justified the Hawaii Supreme Court's injunction preventing the state from selling certain lands, as the resolution's language did not support such an interpretation.

De A à Z : Choisir une architecture pour sa solution applicativeMicrosoft
En partant d’un besoin concret qui tient compte des nouveaux usages, nous évaluerons des architectures pouvant servir de squelette à notre solution applicative. Quelles technologies nous aideront à mettre en œuvre au mieux cette solution, et plus généralement, quelles sont les questions à se poser pour bien choisir une architecture et les technologies qui lui seront associées ? Cette session est la première du parcours « De A à Z : Concevoir et développer une solution applicative ». Nous y choisirons les technologies qui seront mises en œuvre dans la solution, tout au long de ce parcours d’une journée. Elle peut être suivie de manière totalement indépendante puisque seul le scénario métier sert de fil rouge dans le parcours.
Asp.Net Web.API, SignalR et UX : le futurMicrosoft
Dans cette session nous allons voir le futur du développement web au sein de l'écosystème ASP.NET, ce que cela change dans les échanges avec le client, y compris au sein des applications Windows 8 consommant des services. Fournir des web services en plus d'une application est devenu une pratique courante depuis des années, mais travailler avec des APIs en est une autre, et, les fournir dans un mode adapté au Http, comme REST, encore une autre. Il est primordial aujourd'hui d'intégrer ces API proches d'HTTP dans nos applications et c'est là le rôle du framework WEB.API dans la plateforme ASP.NET, que nous allons vous présenter en détail dans cette session. Une autre facette importante des applications web qui a émergé ces dernières années, c'est la contrainte du temps réel. C'est une contrainte qu'il faut prendre en compte dès aujourd'hui. Non pas que tout le monde a besoin d'afficher des flux de données en temps réel, mais surtout parce cela change l'expérience utilisateur! Nous allons voir dans ce cadre là SignalR, une librairie open source, supportée officiellement depuis peu par Microsoft.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) requests that the State of Hawaii prioritize collecting and reporting disaggregated data on Native Hawaiians relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, OHA asks for disaggregated data from the Departments of Health, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Human Services on topics like COVID-19 cases, unemployment claims, and applications for assistance programs. Disaggregated data is critical to understand how the pandemic is impacting Native Hawaiians and to direct resources most effectively. OHA also requests information on how race data is currently collected by these agencies.
The CLA audit of OHA from 2012-2016 found significant issues in OHA's procurement processes and identified $7.8 million across 32 transactions as potentially fraudulent, wasteful, or abusive. The audit found 85% of transactions reviewed contained issues of noncompliance with policies and laws, while 17% (32 transactions) were flagged as "red flags". Common issues included missing procurement documents, lack of evidence that contractors delivered on obligations, and contracts incorrectly classified as exempt from competitive bidding.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell issued a statement regarding the construction of a multi-purpose field at Waimānalo Bay Beach Park. City Council member Ikaika Anderson had requested halting all grubbing work until September 15 out of concern for the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat. However, the environmental assessment states grubbing of woody plants over 15 feet tall should not occur after June 1 to protect young bats. The city contractor will finish grubbing by the end of May as required. Canceling the contract would cost $300,000 in taxpayer money. Therefore, the city will proceed with completing Phase 1, including a multi-purpose field, play area, and parking lot, for $1.43 million, and will review additional
