Osama Bin Laden killed by Navy Seals The death of Osama Bin Laden on May 1 gave closure to many A mericans and signified a major turning point in the U.S. “ War on Terror.” With the man responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks dead, al- Qaida suffered a serious blow. The assault, under the orders of President Obama, lasted only a few minutes with no A merican casualties, although Bin Laden’s son, a woman and two other men were killed in the attack. It was reported that the woman was used as a human shield by one of Bin Laden’s bodyguards. The attack also boosted Obama’s approval rating.

Arab Spring Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and Yemen experienced unprecedented democratic reform. Largely spurred on by social networking, what started as small protests against injustice eventually morphed into massive unified movements.

As dissent spread into northern A frica, civil war broke out in Libya as Moammar Gadhafi’s autocratic regime began to collapse.

The violence lasted until around Oct. 20, when Gadhafi was killed, marking the end of a regime that lasted more than 30 years. Even governments that have withstood the A rab Spring show signs of unraveling in the future. Syrian President Bashar Assad managed to retain power, but with international pressure and internal conf lict escalating, it is likely major changes will occur.

Tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan On March 11, a record-breaking magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a tsunami that devastated much of Japan and left more than 15,000 people dead, with thousands more wounded and missing. The damage from the quake also caused many of Japan’s nuclear reactors to fail.

One of the worst incidents occurred in Fukushima, where the cooling system for the power plant structure failed and the facilit y suffered a meltdown, leading the Japanese government to declare a state of emergency. A fter the reactors were stabilized, radioactive contaminants were discovered in food and water sources that were over eight times the legal limit in some areas. Debris from the tsunami also f loated overseas to Hawai‘i, making landfall months after the catastrophe took place.

United States credit downgrade The credit-rating agency Standard and Poor’s downgraded the United States from a perfect A A A rating to A A+. America’s previous rating allowed the nation to borrow at low interest rates, but the downgrade will make investors reluctant to lend money to the United States in the future. The U.S. narrowly escaped a government shutdown because of partisan gridlock over stabilizing the national debt.

The government had to raise the debt ceiling just to generate enough funds to operate for the year. For most Americans, the credit downgrade means that in the future, it will be more difficult for federal and state governments to finance projects and provide services.

The death of Kim Jong Il On Dec. 17, Kim Jong Il died of heart failure. He ruled North Korea for almost 20 years and was known for both his nuclear aspirations and his lavish lifestyle. He often used the threat of nuclear weapons to stay in power and control foreign policy in his favor. He owned an extensive collection of luxury cars and ďŹ ne wines despite the poor living conditions of many North Koreans.

Although he had a mostly negative reputation abroad, he was beloved in North Korea, and his passing was met with days of mourning. Eventually, his son Kim Jong Un consolidated power. He is now the current leader of North Korea and has stated he will follow his father’s policies, although some question whether he can ďŹ ll his father’s shoes.

Steve Jobs’ death from pancreatic cancer On Oct. 5, one of the most iconic ďŹ gures of the technological era died of cancer. The former Apple CEO and founder left behind one of the most successful companies in the world. His company currently owns over 50 percent of the smartphone and tablet market, thanks to the iPhone and the iPad. After Jobs passed away, Tim Cooke took his place as CEO. Jobs left a unique legacy as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios and as an inventor and an innovator.

“Student sued for housing comments” – Aug. 21; and “KCC student and housing company prepare for court battle” – Dec. 2 News editor Kelsey Amos followed the story of Dylan Hunt, a Kapi‘olani Community College student sued by Hawai‘i Student Housing over negative Facebook posts Hunt wrote about bad experiences living in two HSH facilities. HSH claimed the issues Hunt mentioned were false and levied a defamation charge.

In December, it appeared likely that HSH would drop the suit before the Jan. 17 trial, since it would have to prove it has lost business because of Hunt’s comments to make a case. However, a spokesperson for HSH expressed the desire to hold Hunt “accountable for every false statement he knowingly made.”

“Chancellor Hinshaw to step down” – Aug. 24; and “Committee begins search for new chancellor” – Nov. 16 News editors Kelsey Amos and Emi Aiko covered Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw’s announcement of her intention to step down and the subsequent search for a replacement. Hinshaw’s fi ve-year term expires June 30, at which time the transition will take place.

On Oct. 28, UH President M.R.C. Greenwood released a timeline for the selection of a new chancellor and a list of 23 members of the search committee. The initial screening will begin this month, with fi nal interviews scheduled for April.

Aaron Brown and Darius Bright were suspended from the season opener and given community service, but allowed to attend classes and keep their scholarships.

A month and a half later, staff writer Taylor Morris followed up with a report that the players pleaded not guilty of third-degree assault, and possibly intended to either claim self-defense or defer the charges as the hearings continued.

“University cracks down on U-Pass resale” – Sept. 16 Shortly after the start of the fall 2011 semester, university offi cials noticed students selling their University of Hawai‘i bus passes on Craigslist and issued a warning to the student body. Captain Donald Dawson of Campus Security said that reselling a U-Pass is a violation of the student conduct code, and can be punished with probation or community service.

The mandatory U-Pass each student receives upon validation of his or her student ID is the result of the university’s negotiated contract with TheBus for students to get a semester bus pass at the discounted rate of $20, an amount that is part of the student fee.

The Krauss Pond saga – Sept. 25 to Oct. 27 After a student submitted a photo of the pond outside Krauss Hall in response to Ka Leo’s “The Filth� column, which covers cleanliness and maintenance issues on campus, Ka Leo reporters and members of the UH community wrote about the cause of the “neon green� color of the water.

Ka Leo staff writer Jessi Schultz interviewed the buildings and grounds management director, who said the odd shade of green resulted from a layer of organic green dye poured into the water by unknown vandals. Liam Kelley, an associate professor of history, wrote a letter to the editor saying the pond had been deteriorating due to lack of university upkeep for almost two years, and had been green for some time before the vandalism claim. Ka Leo columnist Matt Sylva interviewed faculty from the UH Department of Microbiology and observed water tests that proved the water discoloration to be a result of cyanobacterial growth, not dye or paint. “‘Born again’ Christian group preaches on campus� – Nov. 1 Associate news editor Emi Aiko reported on the controversy caused by a group whose members stood outside Ba-Le for two days, shouting messages and waving signs. The group, which calls itself the Born-Again Christian Fellowship, had a two-day permit from the university allowing use of the area.

Students – many deďŹ ning themselves as Christians – objected to the group’s method of delivering a religious message. Some also mentioned that the noise volume interfered with their ability to study.

“McMackin says alohaâ€? – Dec. 6 Sports editor Marc Arakaki broke the news of four-season football head coach Greg McMackin’s decision to step down shortly after the end of the 2011 season. McMackin was the highest-paid staff member at the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa, netting $1.1 million a year. He sacriďŹ ced nearly half that amount in his ďŹ nal year, with the hope that the money will aid the football program.

McMackin was recognized by fellow staffers for facilitating the improvement of student athletes’ academic performance, expanding UH football’s TV broadcasts to Japan and bolstering the football program during “a time of turmoil� at the university.

Norm Chow, in his ďŹ rst season as offensive coordinator for Utah, accepted the vacated UH head coach position in late December.

Students robbed with replica firearm

NIK SEU/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Two UH students were robbed outside the Noelani apartments by a person with a fake gun. The event was observed and reported by a student living in the Mokihana dorm.

Just before winter break, two University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students were robbed at gunpoint, though the gun was later identified as a replica.

On Dec. 11, two male students were mugged just outside the Hale Noelani apartments. One of the men was then forced into the car by the attacker, but was able to escape quickly. The men were robbed of cell phones and a backpack at approximately 8 p.m.

According to Campus Security’s website, the assailant is described as “early 20s, about 6 feet tall, black crew-cut hair and very tanned complexion.”

The vehicle is described as “four-doored, white, lowered and with dark tinted windows, possibly a Honda or Acura. Its license plate may start with the digits RGF-3.”

The Campus Security chief could not be reached for comment during winter break to provide further details of the crime.

An announcement about the crime was distributed to UH

Mānoa students and faculty via email the following day.

Upon receiving the email, one student became aware that he had witnessed part of the attack. The student was not aware that anything dangerous had occurred until he received the email.

“I did not realize I witnessed a gunpoint robbery until I received the email [from Campus Security] the next day,” said the witness, who asked to remain anonymous due to the severity of this crime.

The eyewitness is a resident of Hale Aloha Mokihana. He had a view of the crime from inside his dormitory, but he did not see the whole incident. The sound of the vehicle woke him; after hearing the car idle for approximately 20 seconds he became both annoyed and curious, and at that point he went to his window to see what the commotion was.

“When I got up from bed I witnessed a man on the ground, while a speeding white vehicle left,” he said.

If anyone has information about the crime or the assailant, please contact Campus Security at 808-956 -6911.

UH found negligent in dorm shower invasion case K ELSEY A MOS News Editor

Winter break saw the ruling in a lawsuit against the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa regarding a 2007 incident. The judge found UH Mānoa negligent in the case of a former female student who was accosted in a UH dormitory bathroom, and has ordered the university to pay $31,000 to the former student.

The student’s attacker, whom no one could identify as a dorm resident, was able to get into the dorm and into the women’s bathroom, where he attempted to take pictures of the student in the shower.

D O R M S A F E T Y P RO B L E M S

The student’s attorney, Ronald Albu, argued that UH was negligent in his client’s case because the bathrooms could not be locked from the inside and were often intentionally left ajar.

“The testimony was that even though the rules for the housing administrators say that the doors are always supposed to be locked and only accessible to students ... they were propped open virtually all the time. We had evidence that the cleaning crews would sometimes wedge them open. ... Maybe it was because the ventilation was poor and [there were] cleaning fumes,” he said.

In addition, Albu argued that security procedures at the entrance to dorms were ineffective in stopping outsiders, such as the attacker, from entering the dormitory.

“There were a lot of things they weren’t doing ... doors left open and unlocked, not checking IDs,” said Albu.

He also claimed that there were several reports of men getting into women’s rooms before

his client’s experience, including eight sexual assaults in the three years before the incident.

Albu reported that in response, “the university fought it [the lawsuit] tooth and nail.” He said that the university’s attorneys claimed UH had no control over the incident, and “they blamed her for not closing the bathroom door, which has no lock ... and they knew that.”

RU L I N G A N D R E S P O N S E The judge found UH 65 percent negligent and Albu’s client 35 percent at fault for comparative negligence because she didn’t close the bathroom door. The university installed locks on the doors shortly after the incident.

“It’s fair to say that she’s pleased that the court found the university was negligent,” said Albu of his client’s reaction to the ruling. But he added, “There’s disappointment that there wasn’t a fi nding that [the negligence] created a hostile environment, which is a form of sex discrimination.”

Albu reported that his client suffered emotionally as a result of the incident. She left UH housing the day of the attack, but had to go through the lottery system when she later wanted to dorm again and needed to ensure safer accommodations.

“She was basically told, ‘well if you’re not comfortable here, you can have your money back and commute,’” said Albu. “The treatment she got from the university was pure bureaucratic.”

Director of Communications for the Office of the Chancellor Gregg Takayama reported that the university is reviewing the ruling and has no further comment at this time. When asked what UH Mānoa housing has done about the problems highlighted in this incident, Michael Kaptik, director

of housing, explained that now all bathrooms either have personal locks or, in the community style bathrooms, require a UH ID to swipe in. He also said that housing staff work with all students who need alternative accomodations, support, or resources.

Albu noted that the incident occurred in November, around the same time of year as two assaults against female students in 2011, one of which happened in a women’s dressing room at Kennedy Theatre.

Although there was no comment on the lawsuit, in a December meeting with Ka Leo staff members before the ruling was made, Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw shared some of her thoughts about sexual assault on campus.

In response to Girl Fest organizer Kathy Xian’s claim that there is a rape culture at UH Mānoa, Hinshaw said, “I certainly don’t think we have that type of culture, in fact I think Hawai‘i and UH Mānoa have been extremely attentive. Have we been able to prevent every one? No, unfortunately, and I won’t ever say that’s possible.”

On the topic of the 2011 assaults, Hinshaw said, “I’ve worked with a number of individuals participating in this program [the sexual assault task force]. We’ve had a number of meetings about what we can do, how we can educate ourselves, how we [can] increase the safety. We’ve been doing lighting reviews ... making sure people know about calling for rides if they need a ride somewhere. ... We’ve been looking at whether there should be a police station/patrol ... down on that area [lower campus, where one of the assaults took place], that one is now under review. We’re doing a lot of activities, and we participated this year in the anti-violence to women program.”

Tuition hikes fund network upgrades and campus renovations A NTONIO L AMB Staff Writer

At a meeting with Ka Leo staff in December, Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw elaborated on her plans to invest revenue generated by the new tuition schedule.

ties, will be one of the fi rst structures to be restored.

“Edmondson, as you know, had a fi re and a fl ood, and Gartley Hall was literally falling down, so we had to immediately evacuate people from there,” Hinshaw said.

Bringing those facilities back

The old psychology building looks like it’s basically going to collapse ... that’s how bad it is sometimes. I’m glad that something’s being done...

The investment will dramatically upgrade current networking infrastructure and renovate aging campus buildings.

Improving Wi-Fi across campus will be a priority, and Edmondson Hall, which previously suffered fl ooding and fi re damage from its faulty and outdated utili-

into working order is her top priority. She stated, “These are major teaching buildings, and they include labs, so we are going to move ahead on renovating Edmondson Hall. Doing so also loosens up some money for renovating Sakamaki and Kuykendall.

Then we will have upgraded a

substantial portion of the learning areas that we have.”

These projects have been in the works but had stalled while waiting for capital renewal and deferred maintenance funding from the state.

Hinshaw decided the projects were sufficiently urgent to tap into student tuition. The higher tuition schedule, which was approved in late October and will go into effect in fall of 2012, is expected to raise $15 million of additional revenue in its first year.

Hinshaw insisted that the tuition investment plan was not only good for the long term, but was needed immediately. “Here in Hawai‘i, state funding has decreased. When you have such a situation, you have to look at other available resources, and there aren’t many. There is tuition, and it has gone up, and it will continue to,” she stated.

The cost of going to college is increasing nationwide. “[At UC Davis], tuition has more than doubled since I left there five years ago,” Hinshaw said. “ That, to me, is very hard on students and their families because there was no planning.”

She explained that with fair warning, students can at least prepare for the higher costs. “I fight hard not to see these tuition increases, but this global recession has hit everybody, and so there are hard choices that we have to make. We also took cuts in our paychecks to get through the hardest parts, but it is a shared responsibility,” she explained.

Though not everyone was on board with the tuition hike, students generally do approve of how the funds are being used.

“When I walk to my biology lab in the evening, I really see how some of these buildings are falling apart,” explained Kristian Scott, a freshman currently residing on campus. “The old psychology building looks like it’s basically going to collapse … that’s how bad it is sometimes. I’m glad that something’s being done, though.”

When asked whether her plans favored science facilities over others, Hinshaw stated that assessing where to begin is not easy, but she picked buildings in order of need.

“Students often ask me what the most challenging part of leadership is, and it’s probably prioritizing ideas and sticking to them. We won’t be a destination of choice for students if we don’t have the appropriate learning environment,” she said.

President’s office ignores ASUH request BELLA MIA for student inclusion PIZZERIA K ELSEY A MOS News Editor

Over winter break, Norm Chow was selected as the new Warrior football head coach, but the decision was made without the input of any students – despite a request from the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i that student representatives be included in the search committee.

On Dec. 11, ASUH President Anna Koethe sent an offi cial memo to President M.R.C. Greenwood and Chair of the Board of Regents Eric Martinson, urgently asking that both assist in adding two student representatives to the search committee before their fi rst meeting on Dec. 12. According to Koethe, she got no response.

“We [students] were never contacted regarding our request for a seat on the head football coach search committee,” said Koethe in an email in January.

Asked why students were not included on the committee, associate vice president of external affairs and university relations Lynne Waters mentioned timing difficulties, such as the need to pick a head coach before student

tives on the committee in a letter to Greenwood, Athletics Director Jim Donovan and Vice President Linda Johnsrud on Dec. 8. Cooney has expressed his opinions about UH System overreach to Ka Leo before, and his letter reflected these concerns.

He wrote, “This is clearly a Mānoa issue and the Chancellor of Mānoa should have primary responsibility in consultation with appropriate governing bodies at Mānoa to select a qualified search committee.”

In her email, Waters seemed to see the selection as a larger community issue. “... We’re proud to say we came up with a winner in Norm Chow. President Greenwood and the university leadership couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and from all the feedback statewide, it sounds like the community is as well,” she said. But while the way in which Chow was selected may hint at a system versus Mānoa power struggle, for Koethe, the main concern is students. “While I understand that this was an extremely time-sensitive and complicated process, I still firmly believe that students rightly deserved a seat on that committee,” she said.

For Cooney’s opinion on the overreach, visit kaleo.org to read the Aug. 24 article.

athelete recruitment deadlines, the difficulty of putting the committee together during fi nals, and fi nding people who could participate in the search over winter break.

“We put together what we felt was an experienced, solid group of half a dozen community and university leaders who could be accessible and do their work quickly,” said Waters in an email.

But in her memo, Koethe pointed out that during the search for a coach to replace June Jones in 2008, which also happened under rushed circumstances, a student representative was included. She also said that since the imposition of a $50 mandatory athletics fee, students are stakeholders in the athletics program and should be entitled to representation.

According to Koethe, these arguments found sympathy with Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw, but the issue was not under her control. “Hinshaw was responsive and supportive, but even though it was a Mānoa issue, the [UH] System decided to take jurisdiction over it.

No one from the System or Athletics responded,” said Koethe.

Resolutions you can stick to JOIE NISHIMOTO Special Issues Editor

If your resolution for 2012 is one of the following, you can forget it: lose weight, quit smoking, learn something new, eat healthy, get out of debt and save money, spend more time with family, travel, be less stressed, volunteer, drink less.

These are the New Year’s resolutions most likely to be broken, as reported by Time Magazine.

So rather than making a resolution you’re bound to break tomorrow, get creative. The new year is a time for fresh starts, so why go through the trouble of making the same goals that you never learn to maintain?

Here are a few suggestions if you’re looking for a New Year’s resolution that is actually doable and can be checked off your bucket list.

E N T E R A N E AT I N G C O N T E S T Rather than watching your diet, challenge your appetite’s capacity and endurance. There are many kinds of eating contests across the island, from the “blazin’ challenge” at Buffalo Wild Wings – 12 wings dipped in the restaurant’s hottest sauce that must be eaten in less than six minutes – to the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge at Mac 24-7 that involves eating three 14inch pancakes in just 90 minutes.

SAV E YO U R MO N E Y – A N D T H E N S P L U RG E

Money management is always important, but it is also nice to treat yourself every once in a while. Work enough hours to fi nally afford that TV you’ve always wanted in your room.

G E T YO U R A D R E N A L I N E PUMPING Escape your daily routine by doing something out of the ordi-

nary. Skydiving, bungee jumping, riding a roller coaster or surfi ng a big wave are a few suggestions.

G E T A M A K E OV E R Wipe out your existing wardrobe and reinvent yourself.

There’s no better time for change than the start of a new year. Donate clothes you don’t want anymore and enjoy the shopping. If you like what you wear, however, maybe a haircut will do.

S TA R T A B L O G Some people find blogging a chore or something easy to slack off on. Writing stimulates the brain, and by blogging you can interact with people who may or may not share the same views and opinions.

B E A K I D AGA I N Back in the day, cartoons were worth waking up for at 7 a.m. on Saturdays. Now, a lot of us just want to sleep in. Whether it’s eating Lucky Charms cereal, dedicating full days to watching all seven seasons of “Boy Meets World” or just playing in the park, relive your favorite childhood memories before you graduate and enter the work force.

PAY I T F O RWA R D Do something nice for people.

Holding the door for someone is one thing, but take your inner good Samaritan to a new level. Carry someone’s bags to his or her car, or participate in a toy drive.

LEARN TO KNIT Sewing can soothe your soul.

Knitting is one way to get rid of stress. Research in 2007 from Harvard University found that those who knit lower their heart rates by 11 beats per minute. In addition, knitting on a consistent basis can help prevent memory loss, as reported by CBS.

M ARIA K ANAI Features Editor The contents of your schoolbag can reveal a lot about your personality. What should an efďŹ cient student carry in order to survive this spring semester?

Here is a list of items that will help you take on all the twists and turns of the rest of your college year.

1. P L A N N E R It doesn’t matter if you use your phone, iPad, laptop or notebook as long as you have something tangible to keep your semester organized. Refer to your planner during your ďŹ rst week of school to ďŹ nd your classes in time. Then for the next couple of months, use your planner mercilessly. When

+

+

your teacher gives you deadlines, jot them down in your planner.

Give yourself deadlines for papers, exams and presentations. Even if you’re not the organized type, try to make it a habit to leave your planner open during class so you can write down dates and assignments immediately.

2. USB FLASH DRIVE Technically, you can email papers to yourself without portable  ash drives, but sometimes ďŹ les are too large or take too long when you’re rushing to print them. Also, if you’re working on an essay, there are times when you download the ďŹ le off your email without saving it onto the computer, which can lead to losing your 12-pager forever. Carry your  ash drive on

+

your keychain, in a pencil box or somewhere safe but accessible.

Transferring ďŹ les to and from the school computers becomes a simple matter of plug, drag and drop.

3. P E N S We live in an age of texting, Swyping and typing, but college is still a pen-and-paper environment. It’s a good idea to carry a pen or a pencil somewhere in your schoolbag. You never know when the teacher will assign a pop quiz or a free writing exercise. Don’t be that person who mooches off classmates; just carry your own.

That way, you won’t be accused of stealing – because as hard as it may be to remember to bring your own pen, it’s even harder to remember to return one.

4. UMBRELLA MÄ noa is notorious for sudden showers on sunny days. Always carry a portable umbrella because you never know when the skies are going to turn gray.

Commuting between classes during thunderstorms is never fun, but at least you can avoid catching pneumonia and thus missing out on important exam dates.

5. JAC K E T On the note of catching colds, make sure you bring extra warmth with you to school. Even if it’s blazing hot outside, computer labs and classrooms can be absurdly cold. Prepare for freezing lectures with your preference of a cardigan, jacket, jumper, coat or scarf. Just make sure you pick

something light and convenient that ďŹ ts inside your schoolbag.

6. S TA P L E R

How often have you been in a class where someone turns around and asks, “Does anyone have a stapler?� You can be the super scholar who benevolently pulls out a mini-stapler and shares it with the lazy student. But be warned: your stapler will be constantly taken advantage of throughout the rest of the semester, so you might as well just be unhelpful. On a serious note, turning in an unstapled essay is unprofessional. Give your teacher a break and get one of those handy mini-staplers from Longs. They only cost $3.39 and you know you – and the rest of your class – will use it.

Installation basics: what you need for your new computer So you just bought a new computer, and you have no idea what programs to put on it. Look no further; everything you need can be on your computer in just a few clicks.

N I N I T E ( W I N D OW S O N LY )

Ninite will be your primary source for all of these programs.

You simply go to the site, select the programs you want, click “Get Installer” and the site will provide you with an executable file.

Run the file, make a cup of coffee and watch as it installs all the programs you’ve selected – without any more of your input. On top of that, the executable file can be used to update your programs if they’ve already been installed.

B ROW S E R S Both Firefox and Chrome are viable alternatives to Internet Explorer. Both are fast, offer great user-made add-ons, and are generally more secure than Internet Explorer. I personally prefer Firefox, but I also use Chrome when Firefox fails to render something correctly (usually due to NoScript, a safety feature).

MEDIA VLC is a great alternative to Windows Media Player, as it has everything you need to run whatever video format you have. If you want to continue using Windows Media Player, then there are two

options for codecs: K-Lite or CCCP. I’d also recommend using Spotify because it’s an all-around good, free music-streaming service that makes it easy to discover and share music with your friends and family.

RU N T I M E I would use Flash, Flash (IE), Java, .NET and Silverlight, just to ensure you’re able to run all Web apps correctly.

Office on your computer, LibreOffice is a viable alternative.

Rather than using Adobe’s PDF reader, use Foxit Reader, which I find to be faster than Adobe. If you find you’re having problems with Foxit, you can always revert to using Adobe Reader.

Better, faster, thinner

Ultrabooks have the power of a notebook and the portability of a netbook PATRICK TR AN Web Editor

Laptops have come a long way since their inception. A nd with the relatively new ultrabooks, it ’s easier than ever to bring your desktop environment with you.

W H AT ʼS A N U LT R A B O O K? An ultrabook is a thin and lightweight laptop, as defined by Intel. They’re generally around three pounds or lighter, less than one inch thick and have a battery life lasting at least five hours. Ultrabooks incorporate CULV (consumer ultra-low voltage) processors, and contain ei-

ther an SSD (solid state drive) or a hybrid between an SSD and a traditional hard drive. If you’ve seen a MacBook Air before, an ultrabook is very similar – but with Windows.

W H Y WO U L D I WA N T O N E? The biggest reason you would want one is because you’ve been eyeing the MacBook Air for some time, but refuse to buy it due to cost or the OSX operating system. Though netbooks are also lightweight and portable, they’re generally clunky in design and the keyboards require a little getting used to. Ultrabooks are bigger in terms of length and width, but thinner and around

the same weight. This means your keyboard estate is much more comfortable than what you’d find in a netbook.

Performance wise, ultrabooks are a slight step below your average notebooks, but a big step above netbooks. They utilize powerful Intel processors: either an Intel i5 or i7 (Sandy Bridge) processor, rather than the Atoms you get in netbooks. Their SSD or hybrid drives also allow for a nice performance boost in storage.

W H AT ʼS T H E D OW N S I D E? The smaller build does come at a few costs. The primary one is that an ultrabook lacks a CD/ DVD drive. But you can eas-

ily circumvent this by purchasing a USB CD/DV D drive. An ultrabook also may have fewer USB ports than your average notebook. But again, this can be resolved by purchasing a USB hub to add ports to your system.

And lastly, there’s the cost: an ultrabook costs around $1,000, give or take $200.

But what you get in the end is an ultralight, ultraportable laptop that you can easily carry around and use without looking like you’re struggling to type.

Plus, you can show off.

Best Buy carry ultrabooks. Just look for the absurdly thin-looking laptops and you’ve found them. If you’re willing to buy online, Amazon should also have a few models available. Asus and Acer both have ultrabooks out at this time: the Asus Xenbook U X21, and the Acer Aspire S3 respectively. I would recommend doing research on sites such as Ars Technica or Engadget to see how different ultrabooks stack up against each other.

Ultrabooks are still early in their conception, and have room for improvement. But models like the Acer Aspire S3 show that there’s great potential in the market.

Out with the fall and in with the spring

Winter break hastily comes to an end, and most of us are bemoaning the start of a new semester. The memories of allnighters spent cramming for finals are still fresh in our minds.

We got that little taste of freedom: the sweetness of going home to see old friends, being with family during the break â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and no deadlines, homework assignments or essays to write.

As fast as the fall semester ended, the spring semester begins, and the cycle repeats itself in the new year. With the new year also comes new resolutions. We create deals with ourselves, aspiring to make positive changes for the new semester.

But just as in past semesters, though we may start strong, we slip into old habits. A nd by midsemester, we are already counting the days until the end.

These are some academic resolutions for the new semester.

G O T O A L L YO U R C L A S S E S

In the first two or three weeks of school, classes are always packed and the professor normally gets to take perfect attendance.

After the first few weeks, however, the enthusiasm for attendance drops, and making excuses not to go becomes all too easy. Suddenly, turning off your alarm or setting it to snooze for an extra half hour turns into second nature.

Skipping class just to stay in bed or to surf is always something that remains in the back of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind, and without strong willpower, the whole semester can pass with weeks of classes being missed. To address this is-

sue, give yourself a set number of absences each semester (depending on each class and its attendance policies). Then spread those absences wisely throughout the semester and abide by your own standards.

KEEP UP WITH THE READING Every semester is the same.

You start off strong, telling yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will put my all into every single class and keep up with all the reading.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine and dandy, until your professor assigns you 60 pages of reading and only covers a quarter of it in class.

The next time, you skip the reading, come to class and usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face any consequences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because, once again, the professor has not covered the reading. But before you know it, midterms come along and you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t opened your book since the beginning of the semester.

The key to dealing with the reading is skimming. Many times, the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point can be explained succinctly in a few sentences, but they instead fill up five pages worth of information to back up these points.

Read the introduction and conclusion paragraphs first to get the main idea of what is being said. If you feel it is relevant, go back and read the whole section; if not, consider it read.

D O N Ęź T L E AV E WO R K F O R THE LAST MINUTE You remember those gloomy days of stress last semester. You remember the panic that set in when you realized you had two days to write a 10-page essay which you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t researched properly. You tell yourself that this time it will be different. The dead-

Happy Hour Specials (5-7 PM, 10-11 PM) Drinks and Appetizers. $3 Draft. $4 You-Call-it. $10 Select Pizzas

line for the essay is given out in the ďŹ rst few weeks, but it is okay because you still have a month and a half to do everything.

During that month and a half you find yourself juggling different classes, a job on the side, a social life and a relationship. Be fore you know it, you find yourself in the exact same position as the semester before, and you ask yourself how you ended up here again.

The best way to tackle this problem is to organize a calendar with all the due dates for all of your assignments and tests. This way, you can visualize how much time you have to study or prepare for each task. It is also good to set up reminders a week in advance for essays or a few days in advance for tests. That way, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both mentally prepared and have some time between you and the deadline.

'

GET ENOUGH SLEEP After each semester, many feel as though they shaved a few years off their lives from mental exertion and sleep deprivation.

The all-nighters and discombobulated mornings-after leave scars on our subconscious state. We want to give ourselves a solid seven to eight hours of sleep every night, but frankly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible.

However, there are ways to curb your sleep deprivation. The best way is napping. If you feel mentally exhausted after school, then take a nap. Take a 20-minute nap for a quick recharge of your mental energy or a 90-minute nap for a full REM cycle to fully reset your system. Be warned though: wake after anything exceeding 90 minutes and you may feel too tired to do anything.

2012: a forecast of protests and war TREVOR Z AKOV Staff Writer

There are a lot of people banking on 2012 being a year without equal. Numerous ancient civilizations and dozens of savants have singled out the year 2012 as a year of signiďŹ cant events. For those who are 2012 skeptics, it might be a bit unsettling to take into con-

On the global level, one thing is absolutely certain: there is a lingering, festering global economic crisis that will only get worse. People will protest with even more zeal than last year.

People in Europe, as well as countless developing nations, will take to the streets with more frequency. People will make themselves seen and heard, and their

Nations will continue to mobilize in order to protect their best interests, and these escalating conflicts ... will erupt into full-scale war. sideration the quantity and wide range of notable sources who predict an eventful 2012. Nobody is omniscient. There are many people who are undecided, debating whether to jump on the 2012-hype bandwagon. We can only attempt to put the pieces together ourselves, conjuring up some plausible predictions for the year.

tactics will be more brazen. The biggest concerns for people this year include: inflation, currency manipulation by governments, ubiquitous corruption and numerous other malaises that afflict nations big and small.

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masses are increasingly well-informed and efďŹ cient at sharing vital information.

Those countries that only know how to govern through fear and by suppressing free speech simply will not be able to keep pace for much longer.

On the domestic front, because 2012 is an election year, Americans can be sure to receive a full year of political rhetoric, ad nauseum. Election years are always misleading because the core message is never clear. Those currently in power will try to be on their best behavior. Those looking to win ofďŹ ce will engage in intense, overwhelmingly negative smear campaigns. People can expect an unprecedented level of rubbish emanating from the ofďŹ cial mouthpieces of each presidential candidate. The worst fact from all of this is that serious, legitimate issues need to be discussed, yet any chance for a clear, direct message will always be trumped by pussyfooting politicians.

Internationally, many diplomatic relations will rupture in

2012. What Americans witnessed in 2002 and early 2003 with Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saber-rattling and eventual invasion of Iraq is already unfolding before our eyes. In the case of Iraq, circa 2002, all the justiďŹ cations purported by the Pentagon and CIA were later proven to be entirely erroneous.

Nobel Peace Prize-winning President Barack Obama is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commander in Chief. If Obama were truly trying to guide America on a peaceful path, he would wisely order all U.S. aircraft carriers to withdraw from Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waters and nearby points of interest. Currently, numerous ships are scanning the waters just a few miles from Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sovereign territory. These daring movements by the U.S. military are equivalent to any other nation placing its ďŹ&#x201A; eet of destroyers and aircraft carriers within a few dozen miles of Honolulu. The gears of war are clearly already in motion.

future would be most wise to consult the past for cycles and recurring series of events. Every time that there is a signiďŹ cant economic lull, war soon follows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nothing gets an economy moving and more people back to work faster than a full-on war.

Charles Nenner, a market cycle analyst, studies market trends and global shifts. He has had an extremely successful career consistently predicting the marketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next move. Nennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predictions are rooted in historical cycles.

The forecast given by Nenner is straightforward and grim: war is on the horizon. 2012 will prove to be a year of compounding bad news. Nations will continue to mobilize in order to protect their best interests, and these escalating conďŹ&#x201A; icts of national interest will erupt into full-scale war.

Perhaps the sinking feeling of it being 2012 will at least mentally prepare humankind for even less promising events to come.

JOHN ROBERGE / MCT

The Christmas tradition of Saint Nicholas is based on Renaissance-era European legends, but became popular in the 19th century. Ka Leo writer Jenna Wheeler argues for telling children the truth: there is no Santa Claus.

NAME EMAIL

I don’t believe in God, something I addressed during my last article.

Although I didn’t consider myself an atheist until I was 15, in hindsight it appears that even as a child I didn’t believe in the man upstairs. But I did believe in something almost equally improbable: Santa Claus.

Reflecting on the Christmas season, I don’t believe parents should let their kids believe in Santa Claus. However, my opinions on this topic are probably the way they are because of the measures that my mom went through to get me to believe in Santa. For example, when I was 5 my mom and dad bought a rubber boot and led me to believe

that Santa dropped his boot while delivering my gifts. At the time, I thought that I was lucky to be in possession of Saint Nick’s footwear, but now that I’m older I’m surprised that I fell for such blatant lies.

For the entire year of 1997, whenever someone came over I would show them Santa’s boot. I’m embarrassed by this now because, even though I was only 5, I looked like an idiot claiming that Santa had left his boot at my house and only my house.

The following Christmas, I left Santa’s boot by the Christmas tree. The next morning I received a note from Santa: “Thanks for keeping my boot for me, Jenna. Ho, ho, ho!”

Later, when I learned that Santa was not real, I asked my mom where the boot had come from. She

replied, “Walmart, $14.99.”

I should’ve known that Santa wasn’t real when the cookies my mom left for him were non-chocolate, low sugar and gluten-free.

One year they were Famous Amos cookies, my dad’s favorite.

The tooth fairy was no different. When I was 9 years old and lost my last tooth, I decided to leave the tooth fairy a note thanking her for her time and consideration, but also asking for evidence that she existed.

All my fourth-grade friends teased me for claiming that the tooth fairy was real. So, being the future atheist that I was, I asked the tooth fairy herself to hand me proof. When I woke up the next morning, there was a note under my pillow (written with my mother’s left hand) that read, “Busy night, I will bring something for you tomorrow!” The following night I received a feather that the tooth fairy had “plucked” from her wings and a jar of glitter that was labeled “Fairy Dust.”

Later, when I found out the tooth fairy wasn’t real, I asked my mom about the feather and the dust.

She replied, “Ben Franklin, $6.99.”

From a parental point of view, the concept of Santa Claus and the fact that children will believe in him seems like a given. Almost all parents tell their children the story of Santa and buy gifts for their children that read “From: Santa.” Most parents also let their kids believe in Santa because they themselves believe that it will give their children loveable Christmas memories that will last a lifetime. In my opinion, the mere notion that a parent, whose main purpose is to protect a child from harm and deceit, would implant a belief in Santa Claus is simply evil. Because even though Santa does provide children with memories, they are memories based on a lie. I would rather my parents tell me that Santa was not real and receive no gifts than believe in Santa and get gifts.

After all, the gift of the truth is better than a shiny new bicycle.

Chow time: Meet the new Warrior head coach M AARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor S “Merry Ch Christmas Hawai‘i,” said Athletics Director Directo Jim Donovan as he introChow as Hawai‘i’s next footduced Norm C ball coach in a press conference. Whether the Christmas present was worth it is yet to be seen.

However, Chow and the UH adminisexcited to get the ball rolling. tration are exc “I’m honored. honored I’m humbled and I’m awbe here,” Chow said. “I can’t fully excited to b wait to meet our team. I can’t wait to put a sstaff st aff together.”

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa ChanHinshaw said, “UH cellor Virginia Virgi Mānoa looks look forward to Coach Chow’s and building on both the acasuccess an and athletic excellence of our demic an football team.”

VISION FOR THE TEAM

MARC ARAKAKI/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Du During the 28 -minute press conference, Chow touched upon c onfer four things that he wishes to fo t accomplish during his time at accom Hawai‘i.

Hawa “First … we are going to “F graduate our student athletes,” gradu Chow said. “ This is why young people p op go to school – to prepe pare themselves for the rest of their thei lives.

“Along with graduation, we “

will hope to teach them some life lessons, some core values. Thirdly, we are going to win football games. We are going to win as many football games as we can possibly win.

“And our fourth responsibility is to prepare young people for the NFL. Obviously very few will [take that route]. So that’s why we go back to responsibility number one.”

B R E E D I N G A N AT I V E S O N Chow, 65, grew up in Pālolo Valley, several blocks from UH Mānoa, and was a 1964 graduate of Punahou School. Chow was a standout athlete in football, basketball and baseball.

He attended the University of Utah and played as an offensive guard from 1965-67 for the Utes. Chow holds a Bachelor of Arts in health, physical education and recreation and a master’s in health, physical education and recreation/special education (both from Utah). He also holds an Ed.D. in educational psychology from BYU. Chow began his coaching career at Waialua High School from 1970-72. He then spent 27 years with the BYU Cougars, serving in multiple positions including assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator.

Chow then went on to coach at NC State, USC, the Tennessee Titans and UCLA. Most recently, he completed his duties with Utah as offensive coordinator.

Although this is Chow’s fi rst head coach

stint at age 65, he assured Hawai‘i that he is ready for the task at hand.

“I also realize the responsibilities for a football coach,” Chow said. “I’ve been at it a long time. What I really need to study is clock management. I’ve only studied clock management on one side of the ball. It’s a challenge. And what is life without an exciting challenge?”

A mong Chow’s accomplishments are being part of three national championships ( BY U in 1984 and USC in 2003 and 2004), coaching three Heisman Trophy winners ( Ty Detmer, Carson Palmer and Matt L einart) and coaching six NFL firstround draft picks.

But what may stand out even more is that Chow has become the first Asian-American head football coach of a major college program.

“It’s an honor … you sit back and think about it – there aren’t too many Asian coaches in the business,” Chow said. “It’s very important to me.”

When June Jones came in as the head coach in 1999, he established run-and-shoot offense, which has stuck until now.

“I’m not a run-and-shoot guy,” Chow said.

“My upbringing is more of the pro-style type thing – using the tight end [and] running the football a little bit. I believe in balance. I believe in keeping it exciting. You’ll see the quarterback under center a little more than you’ve seen him in the past.”

Pawid serves up talent JEREMY NIT TA Staff Writer The future appears to be bright for the University of Hawai‘i women’s tennis team, thanks to freshman Jamie Pawid. The native of Castro Valley, Calif., has made a splash for the young Rainbow Wāhine W hine squad.

Pawid comes to Hawai‘i with a strong résumé; she earned All-American honors as a senior in high school and captured the North Coast section twice. Pawid was also a three-time letter winner at Castro Valley High.

Pawid hails from Castro Valley; however, she was actually born in Hawai‘i and has family ties in the islands. Pawid admitted that family defi nitely came into play when she was deciding where she wanted to play college ball.

“I have a lot of family here,” said Pawid, “so I just wanted to come home.”

Pawid also said that head coach Jun Hernandez really sold her on the program.

“I really liked Coach Jun,” said Pawid. “He was a great guy and he always looks out for the best for us. I notice that not all coaches are watching out for what’s best, but he’s really sincere about everything.”

lege debut with a 6 -1, 6 -2 victory over Yanita Arnaudova of Chaminade.

Already, Pawid has what can be considered a signature win. In a preseason match on Nov. 22 against Pac-12 powerhouse Stanford, Pawid earned Hawai‘i’s only victory with an impressive 6 -3, 6 -1 win over Stacey Tan, who was an All-American last season and was ranked 12th in the country.

For her strong performance, Pawid was named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Tennis Player of the Month for November. The honor was the first for a UH player since Poljakova won it last season.

Pawid followed that with a dominating 6 -0, 6 -1 win over Carmen Sandor of Penn State, helping the Rainbow W Wāhine hine defeat Penn State 4-3 last week.

On the season, Pawid boasts a 4-3 record in singles and a 5-3 record in doubles.

As Pawid looks ahead to the rest of the season, she is confident that the team can do good things this season.

“The sky is the limit for us,” said Pawid. “We’re a really young team, and we’re maturing pretty fast together and bonding really well. So I think that this season will be fun and really interesting.”

The ’Bows will continue their spring season with the Rainbow W Wāhine hine Spring Invitational this Thursday through Sunday at the UH Tennis Complex.

Entering her fi rst season at UH, Pawid is confi dent in her own abilities, and feels strongly that her fi rst season will be a good one.

“I wouldn’t say that there is pressure,” said Pawid. “I look at it more like motivation for me coming into the University of Hawai‘i tennis [program] to do big things – like win the WAC [Western Athletic Conference], and to just help everybody play better and compete hard.”

As for herself, Pawid is simply focusing on playing as well as she can, and moving up the ranks.

“For myself, I just want to maintain my high standing,” said Pawid. “I’m playing fi rst doubles with Kate [Katarina Poljakova], so I want to keep that up. For singles, I think I just want to have a winning record and get to the NCA A tournament.”
