	Hawaii, history & volcanoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Hawaii was characterized by Mark Twain as "the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean." The name is thought to derive from Hawaiki, the former name of Raiatea, one of the Society Islands, from which Polynesians sailed in voyaging canoes to settle after AD 1000.
		Hawaii is governed by a state constitution that was originally adopted in 1950; it was amended in 1959, at the time of admission to statehood, and further amended at the constitutional convention of 1968.
		Hawaii's governmental structure is unique among the states in that it is limited to two levels of government: the state and the four counties, each with a mayor and a council.

		Their effluvia are dramatically different, too: red-hot rivers of molten rock, sometimes moving at the speed of a slow walk, pushing seaward in fiery channels.
		The most active volcano in the park is Kilauea, a low-rising, almost constantly active source of lava.

	HawaiiNews.com: Hawaii volcanoes may need closer attention
		The highest priority for new and expanded volcano-monitoring systems should be given to the most dangerous volcanoes and to those volcanoes currently erupting or showing signs of reawakening, the report said, and different levels of volcano monitoring systems were recommended to match the widespread but varying threat.
		When a volcano that is not well monitored becomes restless, scientists are forced to “play catch-up” with a volcano to purchase, build, and install networks and provide up-to-date assessments of the volcano.
		For example, level 4 indicates a well monitored volcano such that the volcano’s activity can be thoroughly tracked in real time by nearly all established techniques for developing, testing, and applying models for what the volcano is doing or about to do.
