hawaii you see on postcards. after a few days here, you realize what the aloha attitude is all about. i m standing on a lava field, drenched, but it s pretty nice here. (kala holiday) the hawaiian islands are one of the most isolated landmasses on the planet. and our two closest neighbouring landmasses are the mainland u.s., which is 2500 miles to the east of us and japan, which is about a little bit more than 3000 miles to the west of us. so we re surrounded by thousands of miles of ocean, smack in the centre of the pacific. (sophie fouron) kala holiday, passionate expert of hawaii s indigenous flora and engaged collaborator with big island s national parks, influenced by a very rich and mixed cultural background. this is his island. (kala holiday) we re a polynesian island. the whole culture is of polynesian descent, just like the people of tahiti, new zealand, samoa and tonga. from the 1790 s onwards though, we had immigrants from all over the world who began settling here
Dazzling designs. The high priced high risk push for commercial Space Tourism suffered a major setback in the Mojave Desert today. Thats where Virgin Galactic spaceshiptwo crashed. Two pilots were on board one died, one was wounded. Tom ackerman reports. This was the second time it flew but only the first time it was supposed to reach the atmosphere, at that point the plane was supposed to separate, ignite its own rocket motor and climb to an altitude of 21,000 meters. Instead the plane crashed into the Mojave Desert floor north of los angeles. One pilot was killed, another injured. I knew when other things werent happening it wasnt because of something did happen, it was because of what i wasnt hearing and wasnt seeing. If there was a huge explosion didnt occur i didnt see it. More than 700 people have paid deposits for a seat board the enterprise which would give them just a few minutes ride in space. The initial cost, 250,000. Were going to get through it. Future rests in many ways
Voting is now underway in americas midterm elections. Republicans are expected to make big gains. Polls show they could wrest control of the senate from the democrats and they are also expected to increase the majority in the house of representatives. While support for president barack obama and his policies has waned during his second term. His popularity has hit a new low. Although his name is not on the ballot, it may as well be. Todays vote is seen by many as a referendum on his performance in office. Voters lining up to cast their ballots in new hampshire. This is one of the states that will be watched closely as a result come in. Most agree that if democrats lose here, their prospects of holding onto the senate will diminish. Many think it could go down to the wire. I think its going to be a very tight race, but i think this is what its all about, to be able to vote and have a voice and hopefully select people that you think are going to represent the state the most appropriately

Chris oberkrom from 37 for the win. And a timeout by westc virgi. To ice the kicker on. A very chilly evening. 1h . Bn take a look at the allstate College Football rankings, tcu number seven says the committee, ranked number 10 in the a. P. Poll. Any victory on the road against West Virginia would be a quality win for the committee. Kirk that would be my point here. Everybody gets caught up in you know, who youre playing, are they ranked, not ranked. I dont care who you brought into this environment, this stadium. These conditions.
