Ebola cases reach 16,000 Potential and confi rmed Ebola

cases have exceeded 16,000, resulting in around 7,000 deaths, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. WHO and other health groups

said that the Ebola outbreak is much higher than accounted for, because most people died before they could be diagnosed and others caught the disease in isolated areas with no access to proper health care. The United Nations is encouraging countries to help Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in order to control the disease. These countries are where a majority of the cases have occurred. According to the WHO, the disease has killed about 60 percent of those infected. So far, there is no vaccine that can prevent the disease, but the fi rst human trial for a potential Ebola vaccine was reported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health earlier this week.SOURCE: CNN

According to Roy Yonashiro, recruitment specialist at the Hawai‘i Bone Marrow Donor Registry, some-one of Chinese descent would be his best choice for a match, as match-ing donors and patients are based on genetics and ethnicity. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW

New law to allow the city easier access to clean up littered yards

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell signed a bill into law Tuesday that will allow the city to get rid of fi re hazards and to remove abandoned vehicles from homeowners’ and renters’ yards.

Bill 52 will let people write to the Department of Planning and Permit-ting (DPP) if they have complaints about a neighbor’s living situation, which includes unsafe or unsanitary conditions, or interfere with the enjoy-ment of a residential property. DPP could then remove hazards from the property and charge the cost of the cleanup to the violating homeowner.

The signed bill is planned to go into effect Jan. 1, 2015. SOURCE: KITV4

UH Mānoa researchers uncover effect fueling hurricanes

Two UH Mānoa climate research-ers from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technol-ogy (SOEST), Fei-Fei Jin and Julien Boucharel, along with I-I Lin from the National Taiwan University have discovered the fueling effect on intense hurricanes.

This effect is an oceanic pathway that brings El Niño’s heat into the Northeastern Pacifi c basin two or three seasons after its winter peak, which directly fuels intense hurri-canes in that region.

This effect will cause the extra heat stored underneath the North-eastern Pacifi c to increase the probability of more frequent intense hurricanes in this region.SOURCE: UH NEWS

BRAD DELLFEATURES EDITOR

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) has reduced the number of broken emergency call boxes by 50 percent following a report that the University of Hawai‘i was not prop-erly maintaining them.

In a Feb. 20, 2014 story, KHON2 found that 11 percent, or nine of the 78 emergency call boxes, on the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa cam-pus were broken and had yet to be scheduled for repairs.

As of Dec. 1, four boxes were bro-ken: two at the Stan Sheriff Center, one near George Hall and one at the Dance Building.

“Although we are unable to control how quickly they are fi xed [depending on the issue, parts replacement], regularly logging and following up on repairs has helped in decreasing the ‘down time’ for some of our broken call boxes,” Sarah Rice, DPS community programs manager, said in an email.

DPS was given control of the emergency call boxes on March 30, 2014. UH system’s Offi ce of Informa-tion Technology Services (ITS) main-tained the boxes previously.

Monthly inspections of each emergency call box on campus have

been mandated since March. The Community Policing Unit, which con-sists of two offi cers and a sergeant, carries out the inspections.

WORKING CALL BOXES IMPORTANTA team of Ka Leo reporters

checked each box on campus to con-fi rm Rice’s summary. A fi fth broken box was discovered at the bottom of the stairs behind Johnson Hall B on Dec. 2 – the day of the monthly evaluations. According to Rice, since the box was discovered broken on the day of inspections, it had not yet been recorded in their list. The box was repaired on Dec. 4.

Working call boxes are important to some students.

“The call boxes have that blue light, which is a symbol of safety to people,” law student Garrett Halydier said. “But if that blue light is ineffec-tive, it makes people not trust them. It’s a terrible, terrible thing, espe-cially for a campus that struggles with mysterious visitors and Title IX violations. To not have working call boxes that are supposed to address those issues, it violates everything that those call boxes are supposed to stand for.”

Repairs can take days because parts have to be shipped from the mainland, Rice said. The

Offi ce of Information Technology Services or a contractor called Pacifi c Security Integrations, Inc., depending on the nature of the damage, repairs the boxes. The DPS pays for the repairs. The cost for repairs varies depending on the type of damage the boxes have.

Rice said that the boxes that usually break are the older mod-els with the red casing, as they have been exposed to natural ele-ments since 1990. Boxes that have not yet been repaired are marked with caution tape.

HANDING OVER CONTROLDeborah Huebler, the director of

campus services, said DPS is now responsible for the boxes because it is a UH Mānoa-specifi c depart-ment, unlike the former maintain-ers of the boxes, ITS, which stretch across all UH campuses.

“Department of Public Safety now takes responsibility for that because it makes more sense for [UH] Mānoa to be responsible for [UH] Mānoa’s security equipment, rather than a UH System Offi ce,” Huebler said in an email.

ITS is now only contacted when DPS needs advice on technical specifi cations for the boxes.

THE BOXES’ USE The boxes were installed when mobile phones were uncommon. “It will give [female students] comfort knowing they can get help fast instead of looking for a pay phone,” said former Campus Secu-rity Lt. Frederick W. Cavallo in a May 1990 Ka Leo O Hawai‘i issue. Rice acknowledged that the boxes might not seem necessary for the campus with the popularity of cell phones, but the boxes are still use-ful for those who do not have access to a cell phone or need to be imme-diately put in contact with DPS. She said the boxes also provide a more secure-feeling environment. “Those things don’t make me feel safer because my cell phone is always going to be closer to me [than an emergency box],” said junior com-munications major Emily Makanani. “However, I appreciate the bright blue light on top of them. If I was walking around late at night, it’s nice to think that someone might mistake it for police lights.” There have been 83 calls from the boxes since March 30. While most calls were pranks or peo-ple calling from broken elevators (these calls are tallied into the box call total), Rice said there have still been calls made for emergencies.

One more “blue tower” is await-ing installation upon completion of construction at Snyder Hall. Rice said that DPS is always considering the possibility of installing new boxes based on campus needs.

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The callboxes connect the caller with a DPS dispatcher 24/7 and allows DPS to identify the caller’s location immediately.

M O R E I N F O

BLUE LIGHT HISTORY

▪ The fi rst 56 “red boxes,” which were created by Hawaiian Telephone, were made opera-tional on May 17, 1990.

▪ The inslallation of the fi rst boxes were a part of UH’s 1990 Telecommunication System Upgade project.

▪ Nine of the more modern “blue towers” come with cameras that sit on the top, but streams are not actively monitored.

▪ “We do passive monitoring, which means that our priority is to have staff on patrol,” Rice said. “In the event that one is recording and we need that footage, we pull it. The camer-as aren’t actively monitored.”

SHIWANI JOHNSONCONTRIBUTING WRITER

A new Energy Law program is anticipated to start at William S. Richardson School of Law in fall 2015.

Environmental Law Program (ELP) Director David Forman and recently appointed Faculty Advisor Shalanda Baker are involved in the creation of the new program which will focus on energy law on a local and potentially national scale.

The new program falls under the umbrella of the ELP, Baker said, and is being implemented to meet the demands of the community and the needs of students in the class-room. The program will serve as a concentration for a student earn-ing an Environmental Law degree or certifi cate.

According to Forman, there is a signifi cant difference between envi-ronmental and energy law.

“Environmental law addresses the effects of human activity on the natural environment,” he said. “Energy law addresses the use and regulation of electric, gas, solar, wind and other energy sources.”

Forman added that he is opti-

mistic not only about ELP students pursuing energy law but also stu-dents with other law focuses.

“I suspect that the opportunity to drill deeper into energy law will be an attractive option for some stu-dents already attracted to ELP, but may also appeal to students oth-erwise focused on business cluster courses,” he said.

Baker, the creator and director of the new program, said she is excited about the ways the uni-versity will be able to contribute to the community and is antici-pating immediate popularity from students.

Baker will create working from the ground up, creating classes that focus on the broader needs of stu-dents. Possible classes within the program to be offered in fall 2015 include energy transaction, energy issues, renewable energy and cli-mate change.

ADDRESSING LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY AWARENESS

With Hawai‘ i residents work-ing to progress toward sustain-ability and resource awareness, Baker said she acknowledges these efforts being made.

“I believe Hawai‘i is the best place to practice cutting edge energy work,” Baker said.

There is a demand for lawyers educated in energy law, Baker said, be it for business or government.

The need for lawyers with the skills of an energy lawyer will be necessary in the future because of climate change.

“One of the biggest problems we face is climate change,” she said.

ELP students who want to work in this fi eld are also aware that dealing with energy law means more than just working on envi-ronmental issues. That the edu-cation and training they receive

at this particular department is meant to impart a sense of envi-ronmental responsibility.

ELP student, Grant Nakaya, said the involvement of business law fi ts into the same idea of how energy consumption is an important con-sideration when it comes to run-ning a business.

Forman said the education students will gain from the new energy law program will give them experience past students were unable to receive.

“The training they will receive will be even stronger than the excellent training that many of our previous ELP alumni and Environ-mental Law Certifi cate recipients drew upon,” he said.

University of Hawai‘ i research-ers received a National Park Service grant to develop audio bro-chures for the visually impaired, UH News reported Wednesday.

Led by Assistant Professor Brett Oppegaard in the School of Commu-nications within the College of Social Sciences, the group received $278,300. These funds will explore the use of digital communication to convert traditional brochures used at all national parks into an audio-descrip-tion format that better serves visually impaired audiences.

“We want to make national parks more accessible to all audiences, including those who prefer audio

alternatives to the traditional printed brochure,” Oppegaard said. “Visual-ly-impaired people deserve the same access to our parks as every other citizen, and audio formats enrich the media ecosystem of the parks, to include more people, in different ways. Some people simply learn bet-ter by listening than by reading.”

Prototype brochures are pro-jected to be available in fi ve Hawai‘ i parks in the next three years; however, the parks have not been determined.

Other UH researchers on team include Assistant Professor Megan Conway and Media Coordinator Thomas Conway of the Center on Disabilities Studies within the Col-lege of Education.

UH prof. to develop audio brochures for national parks UH settles free speech suit

Deal includes $50K payout, policy change

ALDEN ALAYVILLA & ALEX BITTER WEB EDITOR & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The University of Hawai‘i has set-tled a First Amendment lawsuit fi led by two students at its Hilo campus.

As part of the settlement, UH has revised its system-wide speech pol-icies to allow free speech and the distribution of literature in “all areas generally available to stu-dents and the community” with-out prior permission. UH has also agreed to pay $50,000 in attorneys’ fees and damages to Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone.

According to a UH release, “The settlement agreement also states that this action does not consti-

tute an admission of liability on the part of the university or its employees who were sued.”

“I am absolutely satisfi ed with the changes that UH has made to the policy on free speech,” Vizzone said of the settlement. “The uni-versity was very willing to make changes, and I appreciate that.”

He said he and Burch have no immediate plans for their shares of the $50,000, which will be determined after their lawyers’ fees are paid.

Burch and Vizzone fi led a lawsuit against UH in April after an admin-istrator stopped Burch from passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution.

Another administrator told both

students to limit their protest against National Security Agency (NSA) spying to a tiny, fl ood-prone“free speech zone.”

Burch and Vizzone turned to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which coordinated the lawsuit as part of its Stand Up For Speech Litigation Project.

Vizzone said his lawsuit is one of many free speech cases being brought against universities across the country.

“Some people are starting tobelieve that not offending anyone is more important than learning and debating and being open tonew ideas,” he said. “This is more than just a UH issue.”

Students living at the Atherton YMCA will not be able to renew their housing applications after next summer, a YMCA offi cial said.

About 70 of these students attend the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, according to Lisa Ontai, the director of marketing and commu-nications for YMCA Honolulu. The property is across the street from UH Mānoa’s campus, located on University Avenue.

“We will not be accepting or renew-ing applications for housing after the summer session ends in mid-August 2015,” Ontai said. “Although the Ather-ton YMCA has served as a residence for students attending the Univer-sity of Hawai‘i since 1932, the YMCA’s focus has always been on offer-

ing programs that meet the current needs of students.”

On Nov. 17, the YMCA publicized its decision to sell or lease its Ath-erton dormitories

“The sale or lease of the Ather-ton YMCA property will allow our YMCA of Honolulu association to continue to expand these criti-cal programs and services for our youth,” Michael Broderick, Presi-dent and CEO of the YMCA of Hono-lulu, said in a press release.

Sandra Dejanovic, a Kapi‘olani Community College junior, has stayed at the Atherton for two and a half years. She plans to major in nutrition and sports and wellness at UH Mānoa.

“I think I Googled, actually, trying to fi nd different student housing,

and then I came across the YMCA. I know that one friend of mine also talked about it, so those two combined, I decided to go into the YMCA,” Dejanovic said.

Nainoa Heaston, a senior family resources major at UH Mānoa, has lived at the Atherton for four years.

“When I was in high school, I was looking for residence halls, and Atherton was the cheapest I could fi nd,” Heaston said.

Dejanovic and Heaston have enjoyed dorming at the Atherton YMCA.

“I like that they have activities for everyone,” Dejanovic said. “There’s always something to do, and every-one is really friendly at the house, so you meet a lot of new friends.”

Both students are unsure of their future housing assignments. Heaston considered commut-

ing from his home in Kāne‘ohe.Dejanovic admitted she hadn’t thought of alternatives.

“[There’s] still a long time left to fi gure that out,” she said.

Heaston said the Atherton YMCA will continue many of its programs after the dormitory closes.

“We’re still going to try our best to impact the community in any way we can,” he said. “Just because our physical building is not going to be here, Atherton is made up of peo-ple like Sandra … I’m just grateful I had the time to experience people.”

THE ATHERTON

UH students have lived at the Atherton YMCA for more than 80 years, according to Ontai. The dor-mitories have 53 rental units and 80 beds, Ontai also said.

The property is worth more than

$9 million, according to the City and County of Honolulu’s Depart-ment of Permitting and Planning. However, “replacement costs” are approximately $13.5 million, accord-ing to a press release.

The YMCA is selling or leasing the Atherton through Colliers Interna-tional, according to a press release.

Biff Graper, a leasing associatewith Colliers International, said that a property like the Atherton has a high chance of being sold or leased, despite replacement costs.

“[It depends on] how much rev-enue will be generated from this property; that will determine the selling price,” Graper said in aphone interview.

As campuses across the coun-try discontinue cable service, UH Mānoa’s Student Housing Services (SHS) surveyed its residents about trading cable for better Internet.

SHS sent its most recent sur-vey to residents in mid-November, and the results are expected to be released early next semester. The survey focused on the reduction of cable use.

“Our questions to students include those assessing how they watch TV [Internet or cable], how much they watch per source, and whether they thought shifting resources to increased bandwidth was an option,” SHS said in an email.

However, SHS is not presently considering any plans to eliminate cable from the residence halls.

Hale Wainani resident Micah

Kobayashi thinks trading cable for Internet is an option as long as the quality is good.

“My content won’t even buffer sometimes, but if was really fast, I could just use Netfl ix with the exception of rare/major sporting events like the Super Bowl,” he said in response to the survey.

A MASSIVE NETWORK FAILURE The survey was sent out a day

before a 31-hour Internet connec-tion failure occurred. The failure, which lasted from 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 to six p.m. on Nov. 12, was caused by a hardware failure, according to Stu-dent Housing Information Technol-ogy (IT) staff. The staff added that the network failure played out on a scale previously unheard of in the university’s Information Technology Department’s 15-year-history.

“The outage of 11/11/14 signifi -cantly impacted residents and was

taken very seriously, however, it is important to understand that it was the only network failure of that magnitude that has ever occurred within Student Housing ResNet [Residential Network],” the staff said in an email.

According to sophomore Jacques Burnvil, the Wi-Fi cannot be unavailable for that length of time, especially in a major uni-versity.

“The Internet is a resource that all students require access to pretty much at all times for completion of assignments and correspondence with teachers, so when it’s not available, it presents a problem-atic situation for all SHS residents,” Burnvil said.

According to Student Housing IT staff, there are typically no Wi-Fi network failures.

“It is important to understand that the wireless network ulti-

mately ends up connecting to the wired network infrastructure,” staff said. “So, if there is a problem that affects the entire campus or all of Student Housing, the wireless net-work will also be affected.”

PREVENTING CONNECTIVITY LOSSESHardware failure is the most

common problem in regards to unintentional losses of connec-tivity that are resolved by SHS. However, there are things student residents can do to prevent con-nectivity losses.

“The majority of intentional net-work connectivity losses is a result of violations of Student Hous-ing ResNet policy,” Student Hous-ing Director Mike Kaptik said. “For example, if a resident is found to be violating copyright laws, Student Housing disconnects that resident from the network in order to prevent the illegal activity from continuing.”

Additionally, buildings with larger concentrations of residents statisti-cally have a higher chance of a net-work failure. According to Student Housing IT staff, this is because buildings with more residents would require more connections and have more infrastructure in place.

“Also, a building with a wireless network would have essentiallydouble the network infrastructure, because we provide both wired and wireless connectivity,” staff said.

Student Housing ITS staff are continuing to work with ITS to eval-uate responses and identify areasthat need improvement.

“Part of that evaluation includes assessing the likelihood that a similar event would occur in the future and balancing that against the cost of any preventative mea-sures,” staff said.

A candidate for a vice chancellor position at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa is still in the running after offi cials at the University of Maine confi rm that he misrepresented himself as currently employed at that institution.

“[My colleagues at the University of Maine] don’t think that [Jimmy Jung] left in a positive light in that no one is providing any informa-tion,” Assistant Vice Chancellor for Diversity Amy Agbayani said. “So we don’t know why. No one’s say-ing [why].”

The chancellor’s offi ce could not provide comment on Jung’s alleged misrepresentation as the search is still being conducted.

For the position, which over-sees co-curricular activities, housing and counseling at UH, the Board of Regents (BOR) is considering a salary above $150,000.

The vice chancellor for student affairs search committee met for the fi rst time in July 2014 and nar-

rowed down applicants to four fi nalists who presented their goals and initiatives in a series of pub-lic meetings from Oct. 3 to Oct. 14.

On Nov. 5, the BOR’s Personnel Committee discussed the appoint-ment of the vice chancellor for stu-dents. According to Administrator for University Health Services at Mānoa Joseph Campos, Committee Chairwoman Coralie Chun Matay-oshi commented that the commit-tee would be discussing Jimmy Jung and a salary of about $150,000 in executive session. However, no appointment was made.

QUESTIONING JUNG’S LEGITIMACYDuring their testimonies, some

expressed their concern about the legitimacy and transparency in Jung’s candidacy following an article released by the Bangor Daily News.

According to the article, pub-lished on Oct. 12, Jung left the Uni-versity of Maine as vice president for enrollment management prior to his presention on Oct. 14 at UH Mānoa, where Ka Leo reported he presented himself as the current

vice president for enrollment man-agement.

University of Maine offi cials said “Jimmy Jung is not working in his capacity as University of Maine vice president for enrollment manage-

ment” in a statement to the Bangor Daily News.

Requests for comment from the University of Maine were not returned as of press time.

“There were some grave concerns that I had over him presenting himself in a position, which he clearly was not in,” Campos said.

Agbayani hopes that student affairs can work hand-in-hand with the chancellor on student affairs issues, such as on the selection of the vice chancellor for student affairs.

GIVING SUPPORT Faculty and staff in student affairs

are standing in support of fi nalist Jan Javinar, Ph.D., current interim vice president for student affairs.

This comes from members of the UH Mānoa community, includ-ing Campos, Emeritus Vice President for Student Affairs Doris Ching, Ph.D., and the Waimānalo Hawaiian Homes Association, who sent testimony to the Board of Regents on Nov. 5 in support of Javinar.

“During my tenure at the Board of Regents, I have witnessed his stern commitment for a fair and just pro-cess in serving the student commu-nity,” Acido said. “[Javinar’s] love is in serving the students of Hawai‘i, building bridges for the university and serving the hard working peo-ples of Hawai‘i.”

In addition, dozens of signatures were submitted by petition in sup-port of Javinar.

The petition was initiated by Vice Chair of the Offi ce of Student Affairs (OSA) Faculty Senate Camaron Miya-moto and Chair of Offi ce of Student Affairs Assembly (OSAA) Jenny Chow,

according to Agbayani. The OSA Fac-ulty Senate and the OSAA both rep-resent the Offi ce of Student Affairs faculty and staff.

“There was an overwhelming num-ber of individuals who expressed through email and other correspon-dences to the OSA Faculty Senate that Dr. Jan Javinar was the strongest colleague, strongest candidate for appointment in terms of his qualifi -cations and service to the university,” Miyamoto said. “So I felt that [a peti-tion] was the most appropriate way

to share the input that was given to me in that capacity.”

Among those who signed thepetition were current AssociateVice Chancellor and Dean of Stu-dents Lori Ideta.

Agbayani feels that Javinar is the “most qualifi ed” candidate for the position.

“I had interviewed all four [can-didates] and all my reasons were written in my testimony why I think he was the best candidate,” Agbayani said.

Agbayani’s reasons included Javinar’s continued leadership within the system, his experience in higher education roles, the university’s need for diversity, and effective com-munication between the offi ce of student affairs and academic affairs.

“I believe that the institution is not being well served and that’s the rea-son why I’m so outspoken about [sup-porting Javinar],” Agbayani said.

STUDENT REACTIONThe Associated Students of

the University of Hawai‘ i (ASUH) and Graduate Student Organiza-tion (GSO) have not taken offi cial stances in support of a candidate.

GSO President Michelle Tigc-helaar said that GSO representa-tives attended interviews with the four fi nalists. “[The interviews] gave us an opportunity to get to knowand talk with all the fi nalists,” Tig-chelaar said.

ASUH President Stephen Nishi-hara said he understands why the petition supported Javinar.

“After working with Jan Javinar, through student caucus, I can seewhy a petition was signed in sup-port for him and I would support him, too,” Nishihara said.

Both ASUH and GSO presidents did not comment on Jung’s qualifi cations.

Diane Chang, director of com-munications for the Chancellor’sOffi ce, says that there is no time-table for when a candidate will beselected for the position.

Jung’s Oct. 14 presentation to the campus focused on retention and increased enrollment.

MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER

After 14 years of stable tempera-tures, the Earth’s oceans are get-ting warmer.

The effects, which University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa professor Axel Timmermann projects could hap-pen over the next 100 years, include dying sea organisms, coral reef bleaching and something many cli-mate experts have warned about for decades: rising sea levels.

“I think it’s going to mean pretty bad news for the coral,” Timmer-mann said. “There is much more in store for us over the next 30 to 50 to 80 years.”

The announcement came in a mid-November University of

Hawai‘ i press release following Timmermann’s fi ndings.

Timmermann’s calculations show that during the 14 year pause in warming, extra heat was being taken up by the oceans.

According to Timmermann, the warming will continue unless peo-ple curb carbon dioxide emissions.

Kelvin Richards, director of the university’s International Pacifi c Research Center, said that most scientists agree on global climate change.

“It’s quite clear that the vast majority of the science community recognizes carbon dioxide emis-sions are detrimental,” he said.

Richards said carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat, pro-ducing warming.

“Some gets taken up by the bio-sphere, and that ameliorates the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” Richards said. But Richards added that carbon diox-ide levels are still on the rise.

Timmermann said some algae would thrive with increased carbon dioxide. “Some algae like diatoms may benefi t from the situation,” he said. “There may be winners but there will be many losers.”

One loser would be Hawai‘ i’s coral. The ocean takes in one-third of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, Timmermann said. Although that reduces the green-house effect, Timmermann said it’s bad for the oceans.

He said a chemical reaction occurs and the carbon dioxide gets

dissolved in water, creating a defi -ciency of carbonate ions. That defi -ciency affects calcifying organisms like coral.

Timmermann said that the sea level could rise 30 to 50 centime-ters in the next 100 years.

“You can measure the sea level rise,” Timmermann said. “Fifty per-cent comes from the melting of gla-ciers and fi fty percent comes from thermal expansion of water.

“We can calculate well what the thermal expansion will look like.”

However, Timmermann said there’s something else that could exacerbate rising sea levels.

“The effect from melting glaciers is diffi cult to estimate,” Timmer-mann said.

That’s because scientists know

little about the western Antarctic.“Part of the ice sheet is under

water,” he said, “If you start increas-ing temperatures in the water, part of the ice sheet will melt from below.”

Richards said there have been pauses in global warming before –much like the one that, accordingto Timmermann, just came to an end. Such pauses are not enoughto denounce global warming, Rich-ards said.

Richards said he’s heard interna-tional media reports that 2014 is likely to be the warmest year on record.

Timmermann said his calcu-lations were made from publicly available data, some from the United Kingdom’s Met Offi ce and others from NOAA.

Oceans aren’t beating the heat, UH prof. saysAs ocean temperatures rise, world will see coral reef bleaching, rising sea levels

Long-term problems with instant ramen


[email protected]@kaleoopinions

LYNN NGUYENCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Keeping a nutritious diet in college can be hard. Chances are, you know someone at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa who eats instant ramen at least once a week. Although it’s affordable and a quick, easy way to fi ll your stomach, studies have shown that frequent consumption of instant ramen raises the risk for heart dis-ease, stroke and diabetes.

DANGERS OF INSTANT RAMENThe famous instant ramen —

affordable, convenient, tasty and fi lling — condensed into one lit-tle container sounds like perfec-tion. Although it’s well known that it’s not the best food choice, many claim that not everything about instant ramen is horrible.

One may argue that there are worse food choices than ramen. Some might say that instant ramen might not be the sole factor con-tributing to the negative effects and overall poor health outcomes that have been found from eating the noodles.

However, a recent study pub-lished in Journal of Nutrition revealed a correlation between

consumption of instant ramen and the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The results were taken from a record of 10,711 adults’ diets from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2009.

The researchers discovered that eating instant noodles just twice a week correlated with a higher prev-alence of metabolic syndrome. This is a group of risk factors, such as high blood pressure or high blood sugar, that occur simultaneously and increases the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

Furthermore, instant noodles appear to have a greater effect on women. The study’s lead investiga-tor, Dr. Hyun Joon Shin, suggested that the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA), found in Styrofoam contain-ers, as a possible factor for this phenomenon.

This suggestion refl ects the fi nd-

ings of other studies that have found that BPA can interfere with the body’s hormones, including estrogen.

Individuals digest instant noo-dles differently from homemade noodles. Using ingestible tiny cam-eras, a study conducted by a gas-trointestinal specialist from the Massachusetts General Hospi-tal discovered that two hours after consumption, instant noo-dles retained their shape and color inside the body.

However, in the same time frame homemade noodles were almost digested. According to Dr. Bra-den Kuo, the study’s investigator, preservatives and additives used remain in the body longer, infl u-encing overall health.

Instant ramen also lacks nutri-tion. The Food and Drug Adminis-tration (FDA) recommends that the average American consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of salt per day. A package of Top Ramen’s noodles contains more than half this amount.

With nine in 10 Americans con-suming more than the recommended salt intake, according to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Preven-tion, consuming half a day’s worth of sodium in a single meal is not ideal.

In addition to the high level of

sodium, the manufacturing process is substandard. In order to create noodles with a long shelf life and a short preparation time, the instant noodles are deep-fried in oil. The soup mix also has high content lev-els of fat, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and other preservatives.

The chemical tertiarybutyl hydro-quinone (TBHQ) — a by product of the petroleum industry and a food additive used to preserve pro-cessed foods — is also used in instant noodles. It is a chemical that is neither digestible nor bene-fi cial for your body.

In processed foods like instant ramen, TBHQ is sprayed onto the food or its packaging to prevent dis-coloration or changes in its appear-ance and smell. Other products, such as cosmetics, perfumes and varnishes also contain TBHQ to maintain stability.

“It’s important to take care of your body by eating and living health-

ily. You only get one body, and I’d rather feel and look good than not just because I feel like eating poorly every day. It’s a sacrifi ce and can be hard to always eat well, but the results are priceless,” said Jonathan Napier, a freshman at UH Mānoa.

However, not all noodles con-tain high levels of preservatives. Homemade noodles and other store-bought noodles do not need additives to lengthen shelf life and protect their shape and color but crispy instant noodles packaged in Styrofoam contain-ers with dehydrated vegetables contain these preservatives.

INSTANT RAMEN AND COLLEGE STUDENTS

According to the Japan Conve-nience Foods Industry Associa-tion, 91.6 billion servings of instant ramen are purchased per year

around the world. It’s understand-able why instant ramen is popular among college students. Though eating it will not kill you, it’s not the best option. With an abundance of other alternatives, it’s easy to switch to healthier options.

Apples are good alternatives and have more energy than a cup of cof-fee. Yogurt is also a great option since it is loaded with vitamins such as ribofl avin – important for healthy membranes and skin. Tomatoes are also great brain foods that can pro-tect against dementia and are avail-able at The Market on campus.

Better eating habits at a younger age have the ability to set you up for a lifetime of better and improved health. Our main goal when eating should be to nour-ish our bodies and to provide our-selves with energy from healthy food choices.

As Christmas approaches, dec-orations are put up and stores have their best holiday sales, it is a great time to look back on the year and refl ect about the good things in our own lives.

The holiday season might be about Christmas, long vacations, food, family and gift giving, but it is also a time to ponder and appreci-ate everything that has come our way – this year and all the previ-ous years. The essence of this time of year should be about thankful-ness and appreciation for what we have,and the people around us.

As a college student, I under-stand how we often forget to do this. College is stressful, and trying to balance school along with other responsibilities is tough. However, through all the late-night study sessions for fi nals and last-minute

preparation for presentations, we should take a moment to relax and realize how fortunate we are in our present status.

If we just stopped and pondered how many people in West Africa who will be celebrating this holiday season without a mother, a father, a sister, a brother or any of them. Or how many people in the Middle East who will be entering the New Year without a home, without food and a future that’s fi lled with vio-lence, death and gunshots.

These people do celebrate the holiday season. But it’s the fact that while a majority of the world’s pop-ulation will be safe and comfort-able in their homes in the company of the ones that they love, there are those who have nothing.

Refl ecting on these kinds of sit-uation makes us realize how for-tunate we are. Even thinking about these things is not enough to help those who are in certain predica-ments, just realizing and acknowl-edging them will infl uence how we look at our lives.

There are many people who have experienced worse things in their lives than most of us, yet people who have good lives — a shelter, a family, access to food, access to education — still complain and fi nd numerous things about themselves and around them unsatisfactory, often, over petty things that don’t require the fuss that they are given.

I can’t speak for everyone and

I know there are those who have experienced negative life-changing events within the past few years. There are certainly people who have forgotten how good their lives are compared to others.

Living in a fi rst world country we have been sheltered from the harshness faced by others. This country has its fl aws, but they are not as serious as the fl aws experi-enced in other countries. Under-standing and acknowledging our position in comparison to those

who do not have what we have, will enable us to be more appreciative.

Being aware will also inspire us to take action and give back to people who are struggling. By knowing what we have, we will be motivated to help others. There will not be a sense of compassion for less fortunate people.

Throughout the world, the cam-paign Giving Tuesday was cel-ebrated for the third year last week. Started by a nonprofi t orga-nization and other organizations such as the United Nations Foun-dations and Special Olympics, it’s a movement that encourages peo-ple to give back.

Giving back doesn’t always have to be towards charities and orga-nizations. I’m not saying don’t give your support and donation to non-profi t organizations, because what these institutions are doing are important and they survive through the generosity of people. But whatI’m saying is give back to friends and families.

This time of year is a great time to contact the people closest to us and let them know how much theyare appreciated. Sending a single text message, voicemail, Snapchat or email will be a physical confi r-mation that will let these people know that they are valued. It’s time to be thankful for new acquain-tances, old friendships kept, newfriendships created, and everything that we have and don’t have.

Losing to three teams ranked in

the Top 10 of the Associated Press rankings is not unexpected for the unranked Rainbow Wahine basket-ball team. But the Wahine are inter-ested in the three losses, instead of the quality of the opponents.

“The term ‘moral victory’ means nothing to this team,” head coach Laura Beeman said. “We know that we were in those games and we could have won them. The losses just hurt, because this team is not into moral victories. Three years ago, we might have sat and told our-selves that it was a great night, but not anymore.”

North Carolina (ranked sixth), Stanford (eighth) and California (10th) each won after UH held an early lead, with its opponent regain-ing the advantage late in the game.

“Those teams came in not shooting all that well, but came through when they played us and made shots,” Beeman said. “That’s what elite teams do. But when those teams came in, they realized that they would have to be locked in when they play us, because we will come to play. We made them raise their level of play in order to beat us.”

BECOMING ELITE Being nationally ranked, suggests

that a team has attained the elite status. However, the Rainbow Wahine believe that they are not far away from reaching those standards in the near future.

“A lot of teams like that come in and the name on the jersey speaks volumes,” senior guard Shawna-Lei

Kuehu said. “You can be intimidated by it, or you can go at it with every-thing you’ve got. And I think that we really went after them. So now, we’re making the name on our jer-sey known.”

Kuehu also mentioned that the team has adopted a fearless mental-ity that keeps them battling against all competitors. That fearlessness allowed the team to play up to par with ranked teams, and even outplay them at times.

Despite notable size advantages for its opponent, Hawai‘ i out-re-bounded California and UNC, and outscored all three opponents in the paint.

“This team has completely bought into the belief that defense wins big games and rebounding wins cham-pionships,” Beeman said. “We knew that in order to win, we were going to have to out-rebound the best post players in the country, and they did that.”

Hawai‘ i has also seen players raise their level of play against elite

opponents. Kuehu posted her two highest scoring outputs of the sea-son against California and UNC, with 29 and 28 points respectively.

Junior guard Destiny King pro-duced solid performances as well with 13 points against both Stanford and UNC, her second-best outputs of the year. Senior forward Shaw-lina Segovia posted her best game against Stanford, scoring 17 points.

“Every time we step on the court, it’s time to ball up,” Segovia said. “That’s what coach puts in our head. Every practice, every game, no mat-ter who we play, it’s always time to suit up and play.”

Now, the team is focusing on

taking the next step to becoming a special team.

“Stanford didn’t miss shots when they needed to make them,” Bee-man said. “North Carolina hit shots when they needed them. That’s where we’re falling short. But we also were at a bit of a size and ath-leticism disadvantage against these teams. We know we won’t see any-thing like that in conference.”

LESSONS LEARNED The losses have been painful

for the ‘Bows, but haven’t reduced team morale and belief. If anything, it has made them hungrier and more determined to excel.

“It’s not the loss that makes you hurt in your heart; it’s that we let one get away,” Beeman said. “For me as a coach, feeling the disap-pointment from these girls after all the hard work they put in, it’s hard. But it’s defi nitely going to propel us through conference. We’re going to look back at these games and draw from this experience.”

The high level of competition has also produced opportunities for the team’s newcomers to gain valuable experience.

Against Stanford, Kuehu was sidelined with a bruised knee. She was able to return the next night against UNC, but she missed all but 11 minutes against Stanford.

In her absence, Segovia responded with her career night, but the team also received solid minutes from true freshman Sarah Toeaina, who picked up six points and seven rebounds, both career highs.

“Sarah Toeaina stepped in and played some huge minutes on a huge stage when Shawna went out,” Beeman said. “When you lose a player like Shawna-Lei Kuehu, to have players step in and be solid is great. We need players like Sarah and Bri Harris to get minutes in the rotation because it will help us stay healthy.”

It appears that the hardest partof the Rainbow Wahines schedule is behind them. Now the team’s goal of winning the Big West Conference is in full focus. If the preseason was any indication, there is no fear or concern with the Rainbow Wahine.

“We have a very, very high ceil-ing,” Beeman said. “Our expecta-tions have once again risen. We can battle with the best.”

In fact, they believe that the rest of the conference should be on their guard.

“That opening weekend against Cal Poly and Northridge; I hope that they’re ready, because I know that we will be ready for them,” Beeman said.

No moral victories Coming close to beating the Coming close to beating the best just isn’t good enough for best just isn’t good enough for Wahine basketballWahine basketball

The Rainbow Wahine are out-rebounding opponents 42.6 to 40, despite being at a size disadvantage.

“Three years ago, we might have sat and told ourselves that it was a great night, but not anymore.”

[email protected]@kaleosports



Hawai‘ i limps to its fi rst win of the season against an FCS team. A close one til the end, Hawai‘ i scores the winning points on a fourth quarter drive extended on a forced fumble from Scott Harding on a punt.

SEPT. 13

27 24

Northern Iowa

Hawai‘ i nearly upsets a ranked Washington team, but can’t overcome two long touchdowns by Washington receiver John Ross. Joey Iosefa churns out 143 yards on 30 carries, while new starting QB Ikaika Woolsey puts forth an inconsistent performance.

AUG. 30

17 16

Washington

Hawai‘ i faces another Pac-12 foe with a similar result. The ‘Bows make a valiant comeback from 31 points down in the 4th quarter, but fall short as the offense struggles to produce consistent drives. Star running back Iosefa breaks his ankle in the loss.

SEPT. 6

38 30

Oregon State Hawai‘ i fails to contain dual threat QB Cody Fajardo as he scores three total touchdowns in a game that wasnt as close as the fi nal score suggests. Hawai‘ i’s offense again goes quiet for long stretches of the game.

OCT. 25

18 26

Nevada

Despite putting up over 450 yards of offense, the Hawai‘ i offense fails to produce consistent scoring. The defense has no answer for true freshman QB Kent Myers, who misfi res on only a single passing attempt in the blowout Utah State victory.

NOV. 1

14 35

Utah State

The Hawai‘ i offense hits a new low as it fails to score a touchdown. Woolsey is pulled for backup Jeremy Higgins at halftime after going down 24-10. Higgins responds by going 4 of 17 before ending his season with a bro-ken throwing hand as the Buffaloes of Colorado domi-nate with defense.

SEPT. 20

21 12

Colorado

Hawai‘ i’s offense continues to sputter as it fails to record 300 yards on offense. The offense fails to capi-talize on three Rice turnovers as Rice breaks the tie with less than 5 minutes left in the game.

Hawai‘ i notches its second win against rival Wyoming. Taylor Graham starts at QB for Hawai‘ i before suffer-ing a season-ending injury to end the fi rst half.

Due to return from injury, running back Joey Iosefa is arrested for DUI, earning himself a 3-game suspension from head coach Norm Chow and delaying his return. Hawai‘ i scores its only touchdown on a defl ected Hail Mary to end the fi rst half as the defense surrenders 283 yards on the ground in a poor performance.

OCT. 18

San Diego State

Iosefa’s return from injury and suspension comes in a massacre marred by poor QB play and even worse defensive play as Hawai‘ i allows almost 600 yards from scrimmage.

NOV. 8

Colorado State

Hawai‘i secures its fi rst road win in years against a hap-less Spartans team that fails to score despite 462 yards of offense and converting on 12 of 19 third down attempts. Hawai‘i’s offense remains anemic, producing just 240 yards, but manages to score with its limited opportunities.

NOV. 15

13 0

San Jose State

Hawai‘ i puts together a two-game winning streak as the offense puts together a solid day through the air and on the ground. Woolsey has one of his best games of the season, leading a wild fi nal drive that culminates in a last-second touchdown pass to Marcus Kemp to steal the win.

NOV. 22

UNLV

Improbably in contention for the division title at 4-8, Hawai‘ i gets plastered in the fi rst half by Fresno State on the way to a 28-0 halftime defi cit. Hawai‘ i once again fi ghts back to within one score in a game reminiscent of last year’s thriller against Fresno. But the team falls short in a fi tting end to a season full of almosts.

Warrior season wrap-up

Football season awards

NICK HUTHSPORTS EDITOR

The polarizing 2014 Warrior football season has come to an abrupt end, after an unlikely postseason opportu-nity slipped away with a failed comeback against Fresno State. Fans have seen the team’s record improve, while home attendance dropped at Aloha Stadium. Head coach Norm Chow has continued his unbeaten streak on Senior Night, while the team also continued its win-less homecoming record under Chow. To make sense of it all, our columnist, Blake Tolentino, takes a look at what he called “a season full of almosts” in a game-by-game timeline. Associate Sports Edi-tor, David McCracken, hands out season awards to the worthy Warriors that had a positive impact, despite the 4-9 season. But as fans move on to a new semester of UH athletics, the verbal commitment of star Mililani quarterback McKenzie Mil-ton is proof that football never stops.

DAVID MCCRACKENASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

COMPILED BY BLAKE TOLENTINOWEB SPECIALIST

Kemp became the downfi eld threat the Warriors’ offense was desperate for. Leading his team with 797 receiving yards, Kemp became a go-to option for quar-terback Ikaika Woolsey, hauling in 59 catches on the season; good enough for second most on the team. Kemp also scored three touchdowns on the year, which was tied for the most touchdown receptions on the team. The sophomore wideout stepped up for the War-riors in a big way this season after only registering 10 catches as a freshman in 2013. No Warrior with more than 14 catches on the season averaged more yards per reception than Kemp, who averaged 14.2 yards per catch.

Phillips became a leader on the fi eld with his play this season for the Rainbow Warrior defense. Under fi rst-year defensive coordinator Kevin Clune, Phillips played and started in all 13 games this season and was used in various formations that included weak and strong side blitzes during games, resulting in three sacks and six tackles for loss. Phillips’ six TFLs were good enough for fourth on the team, and he was the only non-defen-sive lineman to register more than fi ve TFLs on the year. His three sacks were second on the team behind senior defensive end Beau Yap, and his seven pass breakups in the secondary were tied for most on the team. In addi-tion to his pass breakups, Phillips also registered two turnovers; one interception and one fumble.

Hadden was a completely different player than what he showed Hawai‘i fans in 2013. Hadden converted 18-23 fi eld goals this season for a fi eld goal percentage of 78.3 percent. In 2013, Hadden converted just 7-13 fi eld goals for a fi eld goal percentage of 58.8 percent. Last season, he didn’t convert a fi eld goal beyond 49 yards and was 5-9 on fi eld goal attempts from at least 30 yards. In 2014, however, Hadden looked con-fi dent and strong from long range, converting 13-17 attempts from at least 30 yards out. From close range, Hadden was nearly automatic this season as he hit 5-6 fi eld goals from the 20-29 yard mark, compared to 2013 when he was a dismal 2-4 from the same distance. Hadden gave UH a much-needed boost not only on special teams, but also on offense as the Warriors’ offense struggled to move the chains and fi nd the end zone, scoring just 20.9 points per game this season.

Harding broke the single season punting record with 86 punts this season, while pinning the ball in the opposition’s 20-yard line on 34 occasions, including 17 punts inside an opponent’s 10-yard line. His average per punt was 41.3 yards, which also led to fi ve turnovers. Because of his unique rugby style of punting, 85 percent of his punts were not returned by his opposition. Harding has been named as a semifi nalist for the Ray Guy Award, which honors the nation’s top punter. Harding also served as a punt returner for UH, where he aver-aged 8.8 yards per return while 10 of his 25 returns went for 10 yards or more. Harding also was a key player on offense. He was third for the Warriors with 457 yards receiving yards and third on the team with 34 receptions. Tied for fi rst with fellow wideouts Marcus Kemp and Quinton Pedroza, Harding hauled in three touchdown receptions as well.

MEN’S BASKETBALLOn Dec. 3, the Rainbow Warriors

led from beginning to end, domi-nating Delaware State at home for the 75-60 win. There were three players scoring double-digit points for the Warriors as Aaron Valdes accounted for 19, Garrett Nevels added 15 and Negus Webster-Chan scored 11.

Hawai‘ i led by as many as 23 points and its dominance was clear as Delaware State was unable to cut the lead past 15 points in the winding minutes of the sec-ond half. Hawai‘ i outplayed Dela-ware State in the paint, outscoring them by 18 points.

Hawai‘ i was unable to register back-to-back wins on Dec. 6, as the Warriors fell to the BYU Cou-gars 90-70 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Cougars backcourt pair of Kyle Collinsworth and Tyler Haws both scored double digit points and combined for 49 of BYU’s points.

Collinsworth recorded his fi rst triple-double of the season and only the third triple-double in Divi-sion I this season with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Webster-Chan sat out of the game against BYU due to a sprained ankle. With the loss, the Warriors fell to a record of 7-3 for the season.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALLA fast start was not enough for

the University of Hawai‘ i wom-en’s basketball team (4-4) as it fell 74-65 to the then ranked No. 11 North Carolina Tar Heels on Nov. 30 on the fi nal day of the Waikiki Beach Marriott Rainbow Wahine Shootout. Shawna-Lei Kuehu was the catalyst in Hawai‘ i’s perfor-mance with 28 points, just one point shy of her career high. Des-tiny King recorded her second double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The Rainbow Wahine have lost three of their last four games, including two consecutive defeats as they fell at home to Pacifi c this past Saturday by a score of 69-61. Although Kuehu recorded her third double-double of the season with 19 points and 10 rebounds, it was not enough as the Tigers came out of the second half on a 14-1 run. It was Pacifi c’s fi rst victory in Hono-lulu in 14 tries.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALLNikki Taylor, Kalei Adolpho, Tai

Manu-Olevao and Olivia Magill were named fi rst team Big West Women’s Volleyball All-Confer-ence. Kalei Greeley was awarded a spot on the Big West All-Freshman Team. This is Taylor’s second time appearing on the all-Big West fi rst team; she earned that spot during her freshman year.

The Rainbow Wahine swept the Duke Blue Devils in the opening round of the 2014 NCAA Tourna-ment, 25-15, 25-19 and 25-17.

Kalei Greeley was injured during the match, and was replaced by Ginger Long who responded to the call with eight digs, four blocks and six kills. Taylor and Magill each had a team-high 10 kills. As the Big West’s top blocking team, the bows out-blocked the Blue Devils by 13.

The Rainbow Wahine were elim-inated from the tournament on Dec. 6, however, as they were defeated by Washington in four sets: 25-20, 19-25, 25-16 and 25-14. Taylor led the ‘Bows in kills with 15. Taylor Higgins added 15 digs for the ‘Bows.

The Huskies advance to the next round of the NCAA tournament and the ‘Bows close their season at 22-7.

MEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING

Dec. 5th and 6th marked the end of the fi rst two days at the Univer-sity of Texas Swimming Invitational. UH swimmers Victor Goicoechea and Kacy Johnson fi nished in ninth place and 27th place respectively in the 500m freestyle.

The men’s 400m medley relay, a team composed of Ali Maclean, Paulo de Paula, Karl-Richard Hen-nebach and Yuri Samoulich, took sixth place with a time of 3:12.92.

UH swimmer de Paula fi nished sixth overall in the 100m breast-stroke with a time of 53.54. He beat swimmers from No. 19 Wisconsin and No. 23 Utah.

The ‘Bows also had a good showing in the 200m freestyle as Samoulich and Eduardo Vaz Gui-maraes fi nished 15th and 16th, respectively.

WATER POLOThe University of Hawai‘ i water

polo team added two signees for the 2016 season as head coach Maureen Cole announced that Hannah Thompson of Corona, Cal-ifornia and Carla Abellan of Bar-celona, Spain have committed to playing for UH.

“Hannah is a very dynamic player,” Cole said. “She’s fast, aggressive, competitive and plays solid defense. She comes from a great club, she’s a good student, and I know she’s going to have an immediate impact on the program in a positive way.”

Abellan was a member of the Spanish Junior and Youth teams. She’s also won bronze in the Junior European Championships and has completed at the Youth World Championships.

NEW THIS WEEK!








Over 4,000 feet above sea level and 2,900 miles away from home, the Rainbow Warriors basketball team saw its successful week fall short.

After defeating a Delaware State team that previously upset Wake Forest, Hawai‘ i fl ew to the main-land for the second time this sea-son to face a favored BYU team that’s leading the country in points per game.

“We have a tough game against BYU,” sophomore Aaron Valdes said after the win over DSU. “We know they can really shoot it so we just have to prepare ourselves for that starting tomorrow.”

Senior guard Garrett Nevels claimed that the team had to follow the “24 hour rule” after the win over the Hornets, making a note not to celebrate too much ahead of the road game on Saturday.

Before heading to Utah, head coach Benjy Taylor mentioned the team’s ability to win on the road, as seen in the pair of victories in Flor-ida two weeks ago.

“How we play, we will be able to win on the road,” Taylor said. “We’re just playing good, fundamentally sound basketball.”

Although confi dence was high between the victory over DSU and the 90-70 loss to BYU, UH was dealt

a blow when it lost a key member of its starting lineup to a sprained ankle. The loss of Negus Web-ster-Chan hurt the Warriors, as BYU took advantage of the under-manned Hawai‘ i squad with a 12-point advantage in fast break scoring.

Heading into the win over Dela-ware State, the Warriors were able to enjoy an extended weekend of practice and rest. Before learning of the fate of his team against BYU, Taylor praised the extra rest as a main factor of the win over DSU.

“When the legs go, the mind goes,” Taylor said, unaware of the lack of legs the Warriors would have against one of the top offensive teams in the country four days later.

Hawai‘ i was outrebounded 48-30 by the Cougars, with the Warriors failing to shoot 38 percent from the fi eld. The fatigue didn’t show until the second half for Hawai‘ i, as BYU outscored UH 53-40 after the half, jumping out to a 22-point lead at one point.

Conversely, the Warriors found themselves to be the ones jump-ing on fatigued squad against Del-aware State. After the Hornets saw their fl ight delayed before the game against Hawai‘ i, the Warriors scored 23 fast break points in front of 2,997 fans at the Stan Sheriff Center.

Hawai‘ i, which had 14 assists against its 15-point win over the

Hornets, tallied 16 assists in the loss to BYU later that week. The style of passing from the Warriors has become a consistent trend that Taylor attributed to the increased familiarity with the offense. As the leading scorer on the team aver-aging 16.2 points per game, Val-des pointed to something else to explain the selfl ess play.

“I think just being a family out there. We’re all close with each other. We hang out with each other off the court. I think just being there for each other is big for us. It shows on the court how close we are, we just distribute the ball really well out there,” Valdes said.

The Warriors’ family mentality on offense will be tested, as they face Chaminade ahead of the Dia-mond Head Classic over the holi-days. They’ll have over a week of rest before action resumes again, as the schedule takes a brief break after the frantic eight-game month of November to start the season.

The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team’s season came to an end Sat-urday night against No. 3 Wash-ington in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in a four-set loss.

“I thought we might get them to think about things after we won game two, but they’ve been through a pretty tough conference and it really didn’t faze them to lose a game,” head coach Dave Shoji said after the loss. “They’re a great team and they just wore us down.”

On Friday night, Hawai‘i (22-7, 13-3) defeated Duke in the fi rst round of the tournament in straight sets before facing the Huskies (31-2, 18-2), who were the top-seeded team on Hawai‘i’s side of the bracket.

The loss to Washington was the third time that Hawai‘ i’s postsea-son run has ended in Seattle.

In the fi nal game of the season for Hawai‘ i, the team fi nished with a .088 hitting percentage compared to .273 from the favored Washington side that ran away with the fi nal two sets to win.

Nikki Taylor led the Wahine with 15 kills, but also had a team-high 12 errors on a night that saw UH fi nish with 24 more errors than the Huskies.

The fi rst set was tightly contested throughout with UH failing to over-come consistent hitting from Wash-ington. After dropping the fi rst set 25-20, Hawai‘ i responded with its best set and only win of the match. The Rainbow Wahine out-hit the Huskies with a match-high

.216 hitting percentage to win the set 25-19. Belief was high for theWahine going into the third set tied at one a piece.

“The set was kind of a confi dence builder for us,” Kalei Adolpho said.

Washington would slowly creep ahead of the Wahine to take thematch, with the margin of victory increasing the fi nal two sets. Wash-ington picked up the third set with a 25-16 victory, while the team fi n-ished the fourth and fi nal set with a 25-14 scoreline.

“We played a great second game and they just wore us down. They’re just too big, strong and fast, andthey played great defense as well,” Shoji said.

Krista Vansant led the Hus-kies with 22 kills while also add-ing eight digs, as the reigning

All-American was a familiar foe for Sarah Mendoza.

“I’ve been playing against hersince I’ve been in seventh grade, so I know she has gotten a lot better but her tendencies are pretty much the same,” Mendoza said.

The senior defensive special-ist fi nished with 32 digs to set a new Hawai‘ i record for four-set matches. As another Wahine play-ing her fi nal game of her career, Kalei Adolpho fi nished with 10 kills and three blocks.

“I thought they played the best volleyball of their careers tonight,” Shoji said. “They just gave it theirall and have a lot of heart. So proud of them, they’ve just come a long way since they started in the program.”

ALDEN ALAYVILLAWEB EDITOR

After golfi ng every day for seven years, Chad McLay faced reality: He needed a source of income; he needed to prioritize his life; he needed to stop playing the game he loved.

“I went from golfi ng every day of my life in high school and in col-lege for my fi rst two years to stop-ping ... I couldn’t play anymore,” said McLay, a junior sociology major and hopeful walk-on mem-ber of the University of Hawai‘ i men’s golf team.

One and a half years of working, fi nishing junior college and prior-itizing life humbled McLay, who is now concentrating on school and refocusing on golf.

“The past year and a half, I’ve had priorities other than golf. That is a big part of me. That’s what got me here — doing what I did — putting golf on hold, going to school, work-ing and realizing that there’s more to life than golf,” McLay said. “Now that I’m not working anymore, and I’m on the golf team, it has made me realize that I can golf out here, I should take full advantage.”

Ventura Community College allows students to play sports for two years, restricting McLay from playing golf in his third year of junior collvege. However, his NCAA eligibility kept ticking away.

“The NCAA expects you to trans-fer after two years, but my GPA wasn’t where it should’ve been, and I had to spend another year at

junior college,” McLay said.After completing junior college,

McLay transferred to UH Mānoa and qualifi ed for the golf team, posting a seven-under-par 209 for three rounds at Olomana Golf Links. He bettered the qualifying score by seven strokes.

“I defi nitely expect to make the top fi ve by next semester,” McLay said. “Right now I’m debating whether I play in the spring or wait to use my last full year of eligibility next school year.”

A typical practice round for McLay consists of commuting two – and-a-

half hours on The Bus 52 from Ala Moana to North Shore and back.

“Most of the less crowded buses let you take your clubs. I’ve been able to golf with my uncle in North Shore and come back with my clubs without a problem,” McLay said. “It’s just a hassle. I don’t like sitting on the bus for two-and-a-half hours [because] it’s bad for my back.”

Because transportation is costly and time consuming, McLay said he spends the majority of his time refi n-ing his game close to campus at the Ala Wai golf course. To avoid the heat, he practices from 4 p.m. until dark.

“Everything [in my game] needs to be improved, but that will come

with practice – get the hinges greased up again,” McLay said.

Gordy Abellera — the head golf coach for Rio Mesa High School out of Oxnard, California — said he recalls McLay practicing and playing for several hours daily.

“It could be an all-day thing for him: Hit balls for an hour, plays nine holes, works on short game, plays another nine holes and hits more balls,” Abellera said. “I’ve spent sum-mers with him all day on the golf course. He has so much passion … and he has such a strong work ethic.”

Abellera said McLay’s strongest

attributes are his shot-making abil-ity, short game and ability to “keep cool under pressure.”

“He hits different shots from dif-ferent lies, he practices this stuff and gets himself prepared for the situations, and he fi nds a way to get in the hole,” Abellera said. “Coming in the green, behind the trees: He’s got all the shots in the bag. He’s very creative. He fi nds a way to get the ball up and down.”

Chad Wright, McLay’s former swing coach and junior college assistant coach, said McLay’s mel-low and humble personality along with his sense of humor cloak his competitive nature and drive.

“He is one of the few kids that you would see out there seven days a week practicing until dark and could not get enough of the game,” Wright said. “Personally, he is a very humble and mellow guy. He would be one of the last people to boast about any of his accomplishments.”

Wright started working with McLay when McLay was in eighth grade. Wright saw that McLay was a fast learner with good coordination who only got better with time.

“Seeing him progressing [as a] player, I knew that he should be playing at the Division I level, so I was thankful that he was able to fi nd a great location to go to school,” Wright said.

Mike McLay, Chad’s father, said his son has the game to compete at the college level.

“I want him to be able to be with the team and enjoy it; he defi nitely has the game,” Mike McLay said. “He’ll be a real asset for those guys. I think Chad can be the No. w1 guy to be honest.”

Whether it’s golfi ng, working, surfi ng or attending school, McLay said it’s important to keep busy.

“If I’m not working, I have to be golfi ng. If i’m not on the golf team, I feel like I gotta be doing something like working,” he said. “I appreciate [golf] more than I did. That comes with me being older. It really hum-bles you [when] you realize you can’t golf all day everyday.”

The UH golf team will begin the spring season Feb. 5 at the Amer Ari Invitational in Waikoloa, Hawai‘ i.


As part of his practice routine, Chad McLay refines his iron game at the Ala Wai golf course several days a week.


“ It really humbles you [when] you realize you can’t golf all day everyday.”

Twelve men and women from different cultures and races, from on and off campus, sit on wooden boards, slowly pounding the kalo (taro) that they cleaned by hand just moments before. They talk of many things, from the importance of kalo in Hawaiian culture to how excited they are to eat their fi ll of poi when they get home.

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa’s kalo pounding club, Hui Ku‘ i‘ai o Mānoa, is doing more than just hanging out and pound-ing kalo. They are promoting healthy eating in Hawai‘ i and plan-ning to start a four-week class that teaches students to ku‘ i ‘ai (pound food) this spring.

POI 101: EAT THE CULTUREThe proposed class, called POI

101 – Introduction to Hāloa, is mod-eled off of a course offered by Hui Aloha ‘Āina Momona, a non profi t organization that establishes ku‘ i ‘ai clubs in schools.

“This class is important for both UH and Hawai‘ i because it allows for young people in the university and community to experience this ancient practice of ku‘i ‘ai,” said Hui Ku‘ i‘ai o Mānoa co-founder Kawela Farrant. “I think it’s appropriate that we bring this ancient practice back into the mainstream here in Mānoa, which is historically one of the most renowned kalo-producing valleys in all of Hawai‘ i.”

POI 101 would focus on practi-cal matters, such as cooking and cleaning kalo, pounding it and mix-ing it with water to make poi. The class would also have discussions on the “cultural, economic, politi-cal, scientifi c and spiritual implica-tions of poi,” according to the club’s website. By the end of POI 101, stu-dents should be able to clean and ku‘ i (pound) 10 pounds of kalo in one sitting.

The class would be taught by renowned ku‘i ‘ai practitioner Dan-iel Anthony who is also the founder of Hui Aloha ‘Āina Momona.

“Daniel Anthony is really an expert,” said Maui Bartlett, a junior in civil engineering. “It would be awesome to have someone really

knowledgeable and well-practiced to give us those tips they have.”

Farrant said that the class has advantages that are not currently offered at the club’s weekly ku‘ i sessions.”

“The class really provides a more structured environment [than the club] and more rigorous expec-tations,” Farrant said. “Right now, in the club, people do as much as they choose. The class encour-ages rapid growth in the amount of poundage and cleanliness.”

The POI 101 class will be every Friday from Jan. 30 to Feb. 20. Appli-cations are available on the club’s website.

The class is not an offi cial UH course and would not count for credits. Farrant said he hopes that the class will one day be in the UH system.

PROMOTING AN ‘AI PONO LIFESTYLE

Hui Ku‘ i‘ai o Mānoa is also pro-moting a campaign called ‘aiHa-wai‘ i (to eat of Hawai‘ i). The campaign aims to encourage the eating of foods that come only from the islands in order to promote healthiness and sustainability.

Zack Pilien, a junior studying plant and environment protec-tion science, said that the campus should be more involved in pro-moting local food, especially kalo.

“[UH] is one Hawaiian place of learning,” Pilien said. “How can we have one Hawaiian place of learn-ing if we don’t even have kalo? This is how they lived. How would they live without food?”

Kalo, what poi is made of, was the staple food for native Hawaiians, and so Hui Ku‘i‘ai o Mānoa considers the

production and consumption of it to be their way of promoting ‘aiHa-wai‘i. Ku‘i ‘ai demonstrates self-sus-tainability by teaching people how to create their own food. The club encourages healthiness by promot-ing cleanliness and knowing where they got their kalo.

“It’s important that people adopt a healthy lifestyle, and [kalo] is the foundational component of the Hawaiian healthy lifestyle,” Far-rant said. “We all came together because of this common value that we hold to be true – ‘ai pono, eat-ing a healthy diet. And taking care of our land.”

Farrant said that he is planning ways to expand the club’s efforts to promote ‘aiHawai‘ i this com-ing semester.

HUI KU‘I‘AI O MĀNOAFarrant began thinking of found-

ing a ku‘ i club when he fi rst wentto Anthony’s house two years ago. Anthony taught him to ku‘ i, and Farrant was then inspired to teach it to others.

Hui Ku‘i‘ai o Mānoa fi rst began with a ku‘i ‘ai demonstration Farrant held with a friend at an Earth Day festival in the Sustainability Court-yard at UH Mānoa. Farrant and his friend talked about forming a club that day, and Hui Ku‘i‘ai o Mānoa became an offi cial Registered Inde-pendent Organization (RIO) in Sep-tember. The club has since begun meeting each Friday on Bachman Lawn, and has done so seven times.

“I think [the club] is importantbecause if UH is going to exist tohave a curriculum that promotes Hawaiian studies and culture, then they need to have this small part of the bigger picture of Hawaiian cul-ture,” said Akamu Po‘loa, a junior Hawaiian language student.

Hui Aloha ‘Āina Momona encour-ages the learning of Hawaiian cul-ture through practicing it, and so they have helped Hui Ku‘ i‘ai o Mānoa get started.

“It’s not super easy to fi nd a board and stone [to pound on and with], but Hui Aloha ‘Āina Momona provides this,” Bart-lett said. “So people should take advantage of this. We make ku‘ i available to them”.

The club encourages everyoneto join, regardless of their connec-tion, or lack thereof, to ku‘ i ‘ai orthe Hawaiian culture.

“If anyone wants to come down and try, defi nitely come and do it,” Bartlett said. “We’re down hereevery Friday. Just give it a shot.”

Many club members practice ku‘i ‘ai, not just for the educational orcultural purposes, but because they love to eat poi.

Bartlett said that his favorite part of the club is getting to take homefi ve pounds of poi each week.

The club has an average of 10 attendants at each ku‘ i ‘ai session, and Farrant said it is still growing.He said that growth is essential to having the POI 101 class, and that more members means more pro-motion of ‘aiHawai‘ i.

“Having been here from the start, seeing it come from a vision to a reality has been amazing,” Far-rant said. “It’s great seeing young kanakas stand up and make this part of their lifestyle.”

It’s time to fi nd a peaceful set-ting, where the dribbling sound of a stream of water may transcend oneself into deep meditation and enlightenment. As you become one with the universe, cogitation will become tested as ninjas try their best to end your feeling of bliss.

“Fist of Fury” is an arcade-style app that tests the fi nger-eye coordination of the player. Placed at the center of a map, players will be confronted by enemy nin-jas. To stay alive, you must swipe toward the direction of the clos-est enemy to hit them.

With four directional pathways, up, down, left and right, a keen eye is required for survival. A ninja must be directly next to you before you can attack. This becomes a challenge, because the groups of enemies form unpredictable pat-terns. As you progress, the pace will increase, causing a frenzy that will have frustrated players exit-ing out of the app. Each success-ful hit will increase your power bar slightly, with the full bar allowing you to use a special ability that is specifi c to each character. There are 21 unlockable characters.

The bit-style graphics in “Fist of Fury” has become very popu-lar with independent games. The bright colors offer a presentation that keeps players’ eyes from visual monotone tendencies.

With a variety of characters to play as and a moderately chal-lenging gameplay, “Fist of Fury” is yet another entertaining arcade title that fi ghts off boredom.

ANGUSINA CAMPBELLSTAFF WRITER

There will be dancing under the stars on Tuesday, Dec. 9 when

two Master of Fine Arts candidates present their dance productions at the Barbara B. Smith Outdoor Auditorium.

“[It’s] the fi rst time a site-spe-cifi c contemporary dance work has been set and performed in the out-door auditorium,” said Jenny Mair, second-year M.F.A. candidate. “The dancers actually dance up on the steps instead of on the stage, so

the audience will be sitting down in the usual stage area.”

The two M.F.A. candidates, Mair and Faith Im, are produc-

ing “With In,” a contemporary dance performance with jazz ele-ments. The fi rst half of the concert will comprise of Mair’s choreo-graphed dance, and the second

will be Im’s. “With In” will fulfi ll one of Mair’s requirements for her degree in choreog-

raphy and performance.

THE SHOW“It was suggested that it’d be great

to do a show out here [the outdoor auditorium], so I pursued that,” Mair said. “If I was to say there was [a central theme], I guess just bringing what’s within to what’s without, ‘out’ meaning outside of the body, out-side, and bringing that all together into a beautiful movement.”

Mair’s piece is approximately 12 minutes and has three movements.

“[One] movement ... starts out with one woman moving across the mid-dle step, and then the other woman dancer joins her, while the two male dancers have a piece of blue mate-rial that is waving and moving up about,” Mair said. “[Another] move-ment focuses on the two male danc-ers doing some very athletic and strong movement, and then it ends with the male and female dancers coming together.”

Im’s piece, involving jazz and con-temporary elements, is about six minutes long. She cited François Rabbath’s avant-garde jazz dances as inspiration.

“The fi rst half was developed kind of by chance procedures ... which basically means that you take all of these different phrases, you call them a name, and then you ran-domly assemble them,” Im said. “I aim for sensuality to be subtle.”

Mair and Im, who dance in each other’s piece, often collaborate with their performers.

“You kind of have to listen to them to see how you can make them look good ... how you can capitalize on their strengths,” Im said.

THE CHOREOGRAPHERSMair began dancing when she was

8 years old.“[I] did my undergraduate work in

ballet, and then I had a family, and I had a studio for 13 years and was accepted to graduate school here,” she said. “I’m pursuing the choreog-raphy and performance [degree] as well as teaching.”

Mair said her three daughters inspire and encourage her dance pursuits.

Im has been dancing since she was 7 years old.

“My mom made me start danc-ing,” she said. “In middle school, and a little bit before that, I started to be good, like have some kind of skill, and so then it was more like a way of me developing myself and my own character and then also having a sense of confi dence in it.”

The free show will start at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Barbara B. Smith Outdoor Auditorium. The auditorium is located at UH Mānoa’s music building area on Dole Street and University Avenue.

There will come a time on a hot day when you want an ice-cold drink of water. That’s just part of the package deal of going to college in Hawai‘ i. But, half of the water foun-tains on campus are broken or too gross to even think of using. It’s times like these that have convinced many students to buy Hydro Flasks.

Chances are, you have heard of Hydro Flasks before since they’ve become so trendy. According to your friend, it is this “super-great water bottle that keeps my water cold for a really long time.”

But what makes a Hydro Flask so

different from any other high-qual-ity water bottle? The simple answer is that it’s unique because it actu-ally does what it claims to do. Due to its vacuum insulation, it keeps cold things cold and hot things hot for long periods of time. If you ever need to keep water cold for 24 hours, the Hydro Flask is your best bet. In my own experiences, I fi lled a Hydro Flask for practice, drank around half

the bottle, and forgot about it. When I found the bottle 12 hours later, there was still ice in it.

The Hydro Flask comes in a vari-ety of colors and mouth sizes to suit personal needs. The bot-tle is made out of stainless steel and is Bisphenol A-free, so you don’t have to worry about plastic poisoning or any sanitary issues caused by products made from lower quality materials.

Where there are pros, there must be cons. One of the downsides to the Hydro Flask is the price. With the biggest size (64-ounce Beer Growler) at a standard $54.99 and the smallest (12-ounce water bot-tle) at $21.99, it is pricey. After all,

$22-$55 to keep your water cold just does not have a nice ring to it.

The lack of design for the bot-tle has also been a source of com-plaint, but its solid coloring has led to a trend of people decorat-ing their bottles with stickers and drawings. This customizability has actually led to more people pur-chasing the bottles.

Another issue has been the bot-

tle-to-cap connector breaking, but this is often due to people carry-ing the bottle at the connector. The connector is there to make sure the cap stays with the bottle and is not designed to withstand the weight of the fi lled bottle. If your Hydro Flask happens to break, the company has a lifetime warranty.

When it comes to picking out your Hydro Flask, you should keep a few things in mind. For exam-ple, the small-mouth Hydro Flask sometimes can’t fi t ice cubes. If you have large ice cubes, the small mouth may not be your best bet. You should pick the ounce and mouth size in accordance to what you will be using it for. Also, note that the wide-mouth Hydro Flasks have no designated handle to carry them, and this may require you to buy an attachment handle or carry it in a way that may inconvenience you. For those who want to go the extra mile for style, make sure to pick a complementary color to the stickers you plan to decorate your fl ask with. The water bottle is expensive, so make sure you think about your decision before deco-rating the product.

If you have some money to spare and want to avoid those nasty water fountains, a Hydro Flask may be a good option for you.

DANIEL TANAKA AND TRICIA KHUNGUEST WRITER & STAFF WRITER

Pixar’s newest short fi lm and love story musical, “Lava,” will make its 2015 theatrical debut on the big screen preceding the full-length Pixar fi lm, “Inside Out.” The seven-minute short, directed by James Ford Murphy and produced by Andrea Warren, tells the fi ery love story of Uku (Kuana Torres Kahele) and Lele (Nāpua Greig), two lonely volcanoes near the Hawaiian Islands searching for love.

INSPIRATION FOR ‘LAVA’Murphy fi rst developed the

idea of “Lava” during his honey-moon trip to Hawai‘ i’s Big Island 25 years ago and since then, has been inspired and fascinated by the peo-ple, culture and natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. He gained inspiration for the fi lm while lis-tening to an extensive collection of Hawaiian music, some of which included Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole’s rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

“So when it came time for me to develop short fi lm ideas, I thought to myself, what if I could write a song that makes me feel the way that song does, and combine it with the love, admiration and pow-erful connect I feel to the Hawaiian islands?” Murphy said.

Further inspired, Murphy returned to the islands with his family to do more research for the fi lm. While there, he went on a helicopter tour of active volcano Kīlauea and con-vinced his family to make the long drive to Hilo to buy a Hawai‘ i-made ‘ukulele – the same ‘ukulele that he used to later pitch the idea of

“Lava” to Pixar’s chief creative offi -cer, John Lasseter.

GIVING HEART TO A ‘GENTLE GIANT’The Pixar team’s main challenge

was not only trying to give such a massive character like Uku emotion but also making him more appeal-ing and believable as a character and a place.

The team achieved this by seek-ing out different locations through-out Hawai‘ i which included the sea cliffs of Moloka‘i, the lava fi elds and the ‘ōhia forests of Kīlauea, Papa-laua Falls, Diamond Head, the lei-draped statue of King Kamehameha and more. These locations provided

the development and design team with a reference so they could give both Uku and Lele a more human-like quality.

To further enhance the human-ness of the characters, Murphy and Warren, in particular, spent a great amount of time researching the elements that make Hawai‘ i so distinct in terms of geography and culture. They then incorporated these elements as part of many smaller details dispersed through-out the fi lm.

Although Murphy and War-ren were well aware that these smaller details would be over-looked by audiences, they felt it was extremely important to make the atmosphere within the fi lm as

authentic as possible. Overall, they aimed to make a fi lm that truly cel-ebrated Hawaiian traditions such as lei-making and lei-giving, as well as one that celebrated the unique “Aloha spirit” warmly extended to visitors vacationing in Hawai‘ i.

In addition to the visual aesthetic of the fi lm’s setting, the voices of Uku and Lele were also key com-ponents in the creation of the two vulnerable, yet powerful volcanoes. When Murphy and Warren attended the 2011 Nā Hōkuhoku Hanohano Awards in search of the perfect voices for Uku and Lele, they unex-pectedly discovered Kuana Torres Kahele and Nāpua Greig.

The vocals of Nā Hōkuhoku Hanohano award winner, Kahele, was the perfect fi t for Uku, Mur-phy said. While Kahele is known for having an expansive falsetto voice, that was just one of the rea-sons why Murphy chose him. Mur-phy wanted Kahele to use his wide vocal range throughout most of the fi lm. Kahele used his middle range voice, or what he called his “half-voice.” It was less about Kuana’s technical singing ability as it was about the emotion that he could convey through his voice.

“This is less about singing the song as it is about telling the story. You are telling the emotion of the story,” Warren said.

Murphy compared the fi lmmak-

ing process to sculpting somethingout of a big piece of marble.

“It’s in there somewhere. You have to fi nd it, keep hacking awayat it and then, you will discover it,” Murphy said.

Murphy knew that it wasn’t a good idea to fall in love with one particu-lar scene or idea and that this lovecould be blinding because it “doesnot allow your fi lm to grow up andevolve into what it wants to be.”

Animation is a costly process,and any ideas that Murphy cut weredone in the storyboards before ani-mation. Murphy said there were scenes that he loved which had tobe hacked away.

One scene included magma chambers in the shape of a heart beneath the volcanoes, in which the lava levels in the chambers would be symbolic of love. In theend, Murphy realized that the underground magma chambers took the attention away from thevolcanoes themselves.

THE POWER AND PATIENCE OF LOVERight around the time that Mur-

phy learned about Lō‘ihi, an under-water volcano, his sister was justgetting married at the age of 43.The concept of waiting patientlyfor love was such a profound ideato him that he knew he could notexclude the idea of time from thefi lm and the millions of years ittook for Uku and Lele to fi nally betogether.

“Ultimately, the theme of thisfi lm is the power and patience oflove,” Murphy said. “It’s such a corehuman emotion. Everybody wants love whether it is loving your chil-dren, family and/or spouse. It’ssuch a universal theme and story.”

DRAGON TEADANIELLA REYES

SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Dragon Tea is a small, unassum-ing bubble tea shop in a city full of them. So what makes this shop stand out from the rest?

It all comes down to the boba (bubbles). Anyone can mix milk and tea, but fi nding just the right tapioca consistency is something that only a select few shops have mastered; Dragon Tea is one of those places. A sign on their register even tells customers that because the boba is freshly brewed every morning, it is not available until after 11 a.m.

We ordered the standard “bub-ble milk tea,” priced at $4.04 for 16 ounces with tax, making Dragon Tea’s prices about the same as most bubble tea joints. If you’re a Yelp user, they take 10 per-cent off the total order. The boba had a chewy yet fi rm consistency, with a faintly sweet aftertaste that reminded me of coffee jelly. The milk tea was equally as good and tasted like it was freshly brewed. The tea was sweet and strong with no indications that it had been watered down. You can adjust the sugar levels if you’d like your tea with more or less sugar, but for me the default setting was just right.

The shop is small with only a few tables and chairs. There’s also very little street parking to be found in the crowded Waikīkī area. However, the place is clean and the servers are attentive. My order came out quickly with the option to taste it beforehand.

My drink was one of the best bubble teas I’ve ever had, but I’m not sure if it’s worth facing Waikīkī traffi c on a regular basis. Visit if you’re nearby and have a craving for high-quality tea and boba.

THE BITE

TONI WONGCONTRIBUTING WRITER

When eating a coursed meal, one gets to experience a restaurant in its entirety. Instead of one meal, you get to taste an array of dishes both on and off their regular menu. This includes appetizers, entrées and an inspiring dessert, which helps the diner experience the true vision of the chef.

When MW Restaurant had its one-year anniversary with a spe-cial eight-course tasting meal, it was too good to pass up. How-ever, it seems that other patrons had the same idea the anniversary meal was sold out by 7 p.m. Fortu-nately, I was still able to taste MW Restaurant’s fi ve-course meal that is always on the menu.

While not affordable for every-day college budgets at $65, this special fi ve-course meal is just that, meant for a special occasion or the die-hard foodie. The fi rst course was an arranged platter of fi ve bite-sized appetizers.

The fi rst bite of Onaga (red snap-per) and Nairagi (swordfi sh) Cev-iche was my favorite. Citrusy and bright in fl avor, I was unsure if the next bite of Ahi Nacho would hold a candle next to the fl avors. All of the other arranged bites, including an incredibly fresh oyster served with a yuzu ponzu sauce, a crispy fried

arancini (stuffed rice ball) fi lled with delicate butterfi sh and unagi (eel) on a small bed of sweet nori tsuku-dani and a fresh local beet salad with a lightly pickled cucumber, gen-tly cleansed the palate. This excit-ing platter of food made quite the statement, as our fi rst plate and left us excited for the following dishes.

Our fi rst entrée plate included the Mochi Crusted Opakapaka served with a citrusy yuzu kozo soy vinaigrette, fresh kim chee, micro greens and a nori topping. While all of the elements on the dish were delicious, the real star was the

incredibly light and crisp crust on the fi sh. This standout dish is avail-able on their regular menu served with somen noodles.

The next entrée was the Kaua‘ i Shrimp with Seafood Ravioli. This dish was served with a spicy uni (sea urchin) cream sauce, soy kat-suo and shiso. Pungent from the uni, this dish was not my favorite, but it defi nitely piqued my interest. Those who savor the fl avors of uni will enjoy this dish.

While all of the entrées were deli-

cious, the truly exceptional dish was the Braised Shortrib with Fois Gras that melted in the mouth. This out-standing entrée was served with silky truffl ed mashed potatoes and thinly sliced marinated mushrooms that were so umami in fl avor, it was like eating delicate pieces of meat.

Sadly, this dish won’t be found on their regular menu. However, that is the beauty of the coursed meals. These dishes are special, made at the discretion of the chef with seasonal or diffi cult-to-obtain ingredients.

For dessert was MW Restaurant’s famous Tropical Fruit Creamsicle

Brûlée. This dessert is a celebra-tion of different textures consisting of liliko‘ i sorbet, tapioca pearls, lil-iko‘ i custard and chiffon cake.

MW restaurant has exceptional and thoughtful service though experience doesn’t end at the restaurant. At the end of your meal, each diner is presented with a take-home gift of cookies by pastry chef Michelle Karr-Ueoka. Crisp and but-tery, these cookies alone are worth the trip to MW Restaurant.

With excellent service, beautifully

crafted dishes and the best cook-ies I’ve ever had — MW Restaurant is worth the price.

These dishes are special, made at the discretion of the chef with seasonal or diffi cult-to-obtain ingredients.

The air outside is beginning to feel crisper so maybe it’s time to get a new sweater. Tribal print sweaters are the big-gest trend in sweaters this holiday season, resembling an old knit blanket you inherited from your grandparents. This trend is for both guys and girls and can be paired with a plain pair of leggings or jeans. You can fi nd these sweaters at places such as PacSun and Forever 21 as well as several other department stores.

A HELPFUL HIPSTER GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS

HIPSTER FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Veronica Freeman Senior Staff Writer

Everyone loves to get into the mainstream fun of the holidays even if the traditions are a little cliché. However, hipsters know just how to do it a step better than everyone else around them, especially when it comes to the good ol’ Christmas tree. Below are some hipster decora-tions ranging from cute to comedic. Start clicking those pens because you’ll want to be taking notes.

Beanie tree topper When all is said and done, the tree needs to be topped with the per-fect accessory. A beanie from the average hipster’s closet will do just fi ne and will complete the hipster look from base to treetop.

Polaroids A piece of twine and some clothespins look great, but a hipster knows that just the right Polaroids will elevate it to tree-hanging status. Ditch the worn-out tinsel garlands and hang some self-shot photos instead. You could even take photos while decorating the tree then hang them up afterwards; how’s that for a creative idea?

Knit ornaments Maybe their grandmother knit them, maybe they knit them, maybe they’re found at a thrift store or perhaps they were found on a popular shopping website. Either way, it doesn’t matter; Hip knitted ornaments offer the homemade touch to any hipster tree.

Giant light bulb strands You know the kind; these obnoxiously huge light bulbs like they should be screwed into lamps and not strung on a wire. These are per-fect for lighting up a Christmas tree; just be sure to have enough on hand to cover the entire thing. If not, rock the Charlie Brown Christmas tree look: Minimal is all the rage.

Plaid tree skirt No tree is complete without a skirt to hide its base. A plaid blanket or scarf that every hipster has on hand is perfect. It adds a cool, rustic dimension to any tree and gives the right touch of the “I am clearly not trying” attitude to it.

When it comes down to it, Christmas has become much too main-stream for any hipster. The standard hipster will most likely boycott the stereotypical Christmas tree altogether; perhaps a Chanukah bush?
