The University of Hawaii at Manoa Library celebrates open access week with a panel discussion and presentation on campus. Both are free and open to the public. “Open access week” sounds suspiciously like a boondoggle, not unlike “dairy week” or “safety week”.

Women in Honolulu line up for sexy underwear
Women in Honolulu go crazy for new Victoria’s Secret store that opened in Ala Moana Shopping Center yesterday at 6 am. Since doors opened, women have lined up outside, backed up to Sears, for over an hour to get inside.

Man crashes truck into bank in Pukalani, Maui, by stepping on gas instead of brake
Today an older man in a black pick up created his own drive through at the American Savings Bank in Pukalani Shopping Center.
“The lines weren’t really that long and the ATM machine was working. He could have just come inside,” commented a bank employee, who wants to remain anonymous.
After doing his errands, the man hopped into his full-size black Dodge Ram pickup and started the engine. But instead of pressing the brake, he pressed the gas. The Ram rammed into the front of the strip mall bank, knocking out the entire front right wall of the bank. American Savings Bank is next to Subway, which was not impacted by the crash.
No one was injured, probably because the line was actually short. The man and his truck were hauled away. The bank is now closed and will not open again until they can secure the cash with a new wall.
