Five months after the Fukushima disaster, [Nicholas] Fisher of Stony Brook University in New York and a team decided to test Pacific bluefin that were caught off the coast of San Diego. To their surprise, tissue samples from all 15 tuna captured contained levels of two radioactive substances — ceisum-134 and cesium-137 — that were higher than in previous catches.

Prof. Fisher: “That’s a big ocean. To swim across it and still retain these radionuclides is pretty amazing.”

Despite rising prices, now may be the time for buyers to buy.

The city is soliciting bids for a transitional housing project in urban Honolulu.

The City has issued a Request for Proposals to invite agencies interested in partnering on the project, and will provide $3.5 million from the City’s Affordable Housing Fund to acquire and/or renovate an existing structure to provide transitional housing to homeless persons with special needs. A specific project site has not been identified. Funds will be awarded to a nonprofit agency that will be responsible for working with neighborhoods in urban Honolulu to obtain a community consensus that The Pathways Project is an acceptable means to address homelessness in their neighborhood. A specific project site will be identified to implement the project only after a positive community consensus has been achieved.
