Several campus organizations came together this January, which is National Stalking Month, to say “Stop following me.” It ’s the slo-gan for PAU Violence’s campaign, which aims to spread awareness of cyberstalking, cyberbullying and harassment. Leslie Cabingabang, the pro-gram coordinator for the PAU Violence Program, said that “with the increase in the use of technol-ogy to stalk, this event will edu-cate our students about various is-sues related to stalking and social networking safety in general.” The event, which was sponsored by a grant from the National Depart-ment of Justice, saw the distribu-tion of several hundred T-shirts to students, but in a way that required their active participation. “In order to get a T-shirt, students had to think of a quote related to safe dating or stalking awareness, write it on the white board and take a picture of them-selves with it,” Cabingabang said. She added that the photos would be used in awareness campaigns held throughout the year. Cameron Miyamoto, who runs LGBT Student Services, was one of the volunteers at the table. “There’s stalking and harassment on this campus just like there is on any oth-er college campus,” Miyamoto said. “This event is really getting the message out, and I’m glad that UH is at the forefront of these efforts.” Cabingabang defi ned stalking as “a course of conduct directed at a specifi c person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.” The most common scenario found in cyber harassment is be-tween people who know each oth-er; roughly three out of four stalk-ing cases involve persons who have
had some form of personal relation-ship prior to the offense. In 30 per-cent of cases, victims are stalked by an ex-boyfriend or -girlfriend. Jodi Ito, the Information Secu-rity offi cer with Information Tech-nology Services, said that she had seen stalking scenarios occur between student and faculty and employer and employees.
Ito said it is important to “un-derstand the risks that accompa-ny these technologies.” The 2007 case of Megan Meier, a teenage girl who committed sui-cide after she was harassed by a peer’s mother through MySpace, was one of several cases that led state and federal governments to act upon such tactics.
Kayla Dziwalski, a junior in social work, was a victim of cyber bullying. “I’ve been bullied through Facebook and MySpace.” Dziwul-ski detailed the escalation of events, which started with a classmate sending disturbing private messag-es through social media networks. The bullying progressed outside of the Internet, when Dziwulkski’s car
was keyed and a rock was thrown through her windshield. “I tried to get a restraining or-der but I couldn’t, because the judge said that the girl hadn’t threatened to kill me,” Dziwulksi said. This was before clearly out-lined laws were passed in 2009

regarding cyber harassment. Hawai‘i State Law 711-1106, along with similar federal laws, led to a decrease in harassment via the Internet and other modern technologies. Such an offense is now classi-fi ed as a petty misdemeanor. Cabingabang said that like other forms of inter-personal violence, stalking involving UH students is now referred to law enforcement. She noted that “if the stalker is a student, the Judicial Affairs Commit-tee is notifi ed.” Zach Yamabe, a sophomore in engineering, said that a female friend of his is currently experiencing cy-ber stalking, but feels she can “do nothing about it.” “She blocked her ex-boyfriend on Facebook, but he still goes to (mutual friends’) pages to see what she’s up to. He even asked other people for her class schedule this semester,” Yamabe said. While sites such as Facebook can increase the amount of personal information displayed on the World Wide Web, Cabingabang said that privacy is possible. “Be aware of the kind of information you share online as well as in your daily life,” she said. Facebook offers members the chance to “check in” at places they are currently visiting, such as cafés, airports, and clubs, in order to let people in their social network know where they are. “I don’t do that,” said Dziwulski. “It just gives
someone a chance to fi nd out where you are at all times, and that’s dumb.” Many students agreed that some users post too much information on their social networking sites. J.P. Bulaquena, a sophomore in business, said, “Peo-ple update their status with things like ‘I’m eating lunch.’ Who cares? We don’t need to know everything.” Bulaquena said that in order to further protect personal information and images, it is a good idea to “untag” oneself in online photos, adding, “screen everything you put out there about yourself.” Nikki Gutley, a junior in marine biology, said that even though she belongs to Facebook, she isn’t worried about her privacy because she posts very limited information. “My profi le is set to ‘friends only,’ and I don’t post just anything. I like to keep my public appear-ance to others as classy as possible.” Gutley added that in this day and age, younger people “don’t seem to take their privacy seriously.” Miyamoto said his own approach when placing information online is that he “imagines everything as if it were a press release.” He agreed that “having Facebook is a fun thing” but reminded students to remember “that information is very public.” The next cyber harassment awareness event will take place on Tuesday with a talk by Jodi Ito in Campus Center Dining room 203E at 12:30 p.m.

According to interim budget director Kalbert Young, quoted in the Star-Advertiser, Governor Neil Abercromie budget presenta-tion to the legislature will be de-layed until March. That sounds bad, since the Legislature is only in session until May. However, as far as UHM is concerned, it is not a big deal at all. The reason for this is the po-litical maneuvering that is gov-ernment budgets. According to Kathy Cutshaw, UHM Vice Chan-cellor for Administration, Finance and Operations, UH administra-tors are not worried about the de-layed budget because the Lingle administration already turned in a budget for 2011-13, as required by law. The issue, as Rep. Gene Ward put it, is that “he hasn’t put the Abercrombie stamp on it.” “We think we have got to give him some time to tweak,” Rep. Ward continued, “because he’s got a huge spending category without revenue sources to come up with $800 million of projected defi cit for the next six years.” The question for Rep. Ward is where all the revenue is going to come from. “There are ticket items which he is going to have to have in the budget … what are some of these revenue enhance-ment options that [Abercrombie] say[s] [he’s] going to make? And he said, ‘well, we’ll get back to you on that.’” Both Rep. Ward and Sen. Sam Slom are concerned about all the spending the governor wants to add to the Lingle budget. “We had Congressman Aber-crombie for 10 terms, 20 years,” Senator Slom said, “and if you look at his record he was one of the biggest spenders that we had, he was big on earmarks, and if he brings that same philosophy to
the state which is already on its knees economically, we will not see a major recovery.” Sen. Slom also believes the Council on Revenue’s numbers are overly optimistic. The Coun-cil on Revenue sets the baseline for how much the state can bud-get by forecasting how much the state will receive in tax revenue for the year. “One of the reasons the visi-tor industry has improved is be-cause there has been a lot of rate cutting. But if you look at the rest of the economy, construction in-dustry is in the tank, small busi-nesses, which represent 98% of all business here, are hurting … The bottom line on all of this is that our economy has not turned a corner and with new taxes com-ing and with new employer man-dated benefits, it is going to be into at least 2012 before anyone seriously considers hiring on a major scale. Most of the hiring has been done in the govern-ment,” said Slom. One example of hiring in the government is the governor’s office itself. “The Lingle admin-istration was told by the House finance committee and Senate budget committee that ‘your budget will be cut down to bare bones because we don’t know who is going to win the elec-tion…they didn’t want it to be a Republican,” Rep. Ward said. “Right now there is one staffer in the Lt. Governor’s office and I believe three in the Governor’s office. They don’t have a budget to do anything. So there has got to be an emergency appropria-tion to make [the governor’s of-fice] operational. Vice Chancellor Cutshaw does not feel that UHM is threatened. “The legislature and the gover-nor are big supporters of higher education,” said Cutshaw. Even

if the Legislature and the governor cannot work out a budget, UH system is still accounted for in Lingle’s budget, which is currently law. The big difference between Lingle’s and Abercrombie’s budgets will be the programs Abercrombie attempts to add. As Rep. Ward put it, “[Abercrombie’s] imprint [on the budget] is going to be very costly. He wants to bring the pris-oners home, he is giving extra money for the [Govern-ment Employee] health fund, we’ve got hospital sys-tem in defi cit … the rainy day fund has been depleted … almost completely.” At the Legislature on Wednesday, the UH system showed up to justify its budget requests to the legisla-ture. It was a who’s-who event of top UH system chan-cellors, vice chancellors, assistant vice chancellors, presidents and vice presidents. Senator Jill Tokuda did ask the UHM Chancel-lor one question about the UHM athletic program: “What ’s the plan … ” for making it profitable? Hinshaw’s response: “Jim [Donovan] has a very laid out plan for what our projections are … We’ll make sure to get that to you.” She did have an up-side for the leg: “There is some relief because we managed to pass a long-overdue fee ... ” One can only assume she meant the athletic fee, although she did not specify.
UH will need all the support it can get if it is to avoid the axe from Abercrombie. Sen. Slom summed it up, saying, “Our new budget director came from the private sector in Maui and he said he’s never seen anything like this. I asked him if he thought he was prepared for it and he said he thought he was, until he found out how bad it really was … Peo-ple can spin it, but when your name is on the front door, you have a lot of responsibility … but up to this point, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.”

Among an electronic sea of sili-con stylists, adjunct funk-practitio-ners, and wannabe mash-bangers, Tyson Parks, also known as Bear-mod, has managed to separate him-self from his constituents by com-bining abstract electronica with hyper-active polyphonic rhythms, resulting in performances that si-multaneously demand and condemn every sense in rapturous awe. This Saturday night, in con-junction with Space & Sound, Parks will be bringing his blend of futuristic folly to Nextdoor Cinema Lounge and Concert Hall, marking his fi rst perfor-mance in Honolulu. And though he currently resides in Canada, his roots lie fi rmly in Hawaiian soil, as he grew up on the Big Is-land in the lush city of Waimea. “I started out doing really
low-fi , minimal stuff, in the vein of Sixtoo and other Ninja Tune main-stays,” Parks said. After re-locating to Montreal however, he fell in with the artists he grew up idolizing, working with Sixtoo on live performances and quixotic documentaries. He began to carve out a niche for himself as an audio/visual performer. These days, they’re one and the same. Space & Sound, the collec-tive that organized the show, is a young promotional group with a penchant for abstract electronica. Founded by former KTUH DJ’s Trav15, Anne Nguyen, Faults, Elo-nius and Vezzen, they’ve brought down two high profi le musicians since their inception in 2009. “We are dedicated to support-ing and exposing new art and music to our local community, aiming to push the limits of vi-sual and aural performance and experience,” said Nguyen, who’s
responsible for the subdued pro-motional posters the group has come to be known for. Their most recent show was held at Mark’s Garage, and featured painter/musician Teebs, a member of the highly venerated Brainfeeder label. The exhibit showcased Teebs’ hand-painted artwork, as well as his soulful blend of beats. Starting this promotional group has had unforeseen ben-efi ts as well, such as befriending the artists they look up to. DJ Faults said, “When Teebs was down here, we showed him the island, the people and our cul-tural predilection for diversity – be it visual, aural or biochemi-cal. He was a humble kid, and we still keep touch via e-mail. We’d like to work with his contempo-raries in the future, and eventu-ally expand beyond the realm of electronic music, showcasing
bands that we feel are pushing the oversaturated sonic-encased spectrum we fi nd ourselves in. ” Living in Montreal has af-forded Parks the opportunity to work with glitch luminaries such as Laser Sword and Lunice. His hyper-kinetic, super-synthetic auditory assault is surpassed only by his kaleidoscopic mé-lange of derelict visuals. “I use Ableton Live for both my visual and sonic shows, creat-ing a precise sense of synergism,” said Tyson. According to their website, Ableton Live is a computer pro-gram used for “recording, pro-duction, beatmaking, remixing and live performance.” Opening for Bearmod will be fellow Big Island native DJ Packo, whose recently released “Aquadust II” mix is garnering mass praise from critics and dub-step aficionados alike.
Glitch is a genre that’s hard to pin down, as it ’s innately sus-pended in a state of perpetual malleability. The style that Tyson is rooted in, Bay Area crunk, fus-es deep bass and caustic synths. His high octane shows have been known to invoke diastasis be-tween heart and mind, redolent of an epileptic fi t sans the pain and paralysis. Often boisterous, border-line superfl uous, yet undeniably groove-inducing – it ’s safe to say that bodies will be in full swing.

The pressure and stress that occur during an interview may re-sult in occasional stage fright and loss of words for some students. Because the interview is crucial in the hiring process, practicing and developing speaking skills is critical to future success. While games may be helpful, basing your communication upon L337speak when going to an in-terview may be unsuccessful. Stating that you’d like to “pwn” the other offi ce “n00bs” is a sure-fi re way not to be hired. By modifying board games and activities to better utilize speech, students can enter an in-terview with professional speak-ing skills.
MODIFIED APPLES TO MODIF IED APPLES TO APPLESAPPLES Students may be familiar with the traditional game of “Apples to Apples,” where one person will
pick a green adjective card per round. The other players who have fi ve red cards with nouns or verbs have to pick the card they feel is most appropriate for the green adjective card. The indi-vidual who has chosen the green card acts as a judge, picking out which red card he or she likes the most. “Apples to Apples” debates work slightly differently from regular “Apples to Apples.” While individuals still take turns drawing green cards, the other players pick one random red card from their hand. They then have to reveal the card and provide an impromptu explanation about why their card is the most related to that adjective. For example, in a recent game played with friends, I con-nected my red card “River” with the green card “Scary” by attempting to explain how the Holy Roman Emperor Barbaros-sa drowned in a river on his way to lead the Crusades.
Needless to say, I didn’t win that round. Nevertheless, this game boosts quick thinking and promotes speaking skills that are necessary to win a round – or own an interview.
MAFIAMAFIA This game is a guaranteed way for students to have fun, pro-vided that everyone is committed to playing their roles. While there are different ways of playing the game, the version that I’m most familiar with involves a Narrator who will go to great lengths to describe the setting and the fate of all players in the game. The Narrator will usually ap-point one to two people to play as Mafi a, and then appoint a Sheriff and a Doctor. Each round, there is a “night” period where the Ma-fi a will point at the person they’d like to kill, the Sheriff will point at the person he/she suspects is the Mafi a, and the Doctor will point at the person they’d like to save. All of this happens in secre-
cy, due to the fact that people in these roles each open their eyes only when it is their turn. The players who have not been appointed to a special role become Townsfolk. The Towns-folk will usually awaken (open their eyes) when the “day” pe-riod occurs to be greeted with a story by the Narrator about how one of the villagers was mur-dered by the Mafia. The Towns-folk will then discuss who they suspect is the Mafia, and hang one suspect per day round. With enough players and commitment, the game can eas-ily become an intense experience where Townsfolk desperately plead “not guilty.” This game helps—indeed, prompts individu-als to practice their speaking skills as their “lives” may be on the line throughout the game.
DIPLOMACYDIPLOMACY Rumored to be Henry Kissinger’s favorite game, “Di-plomacy” is considered by some to be the greatest strategy game of all time. The traditional game is set in Europe, with each play-er picking a great power of the early 20th century. Each nation has a specif ic
number of armies and navies laid out in strategic positions at the game’s start. Rounds are divided between a discus-sion phase and an action phase. During the discussion phase, players communicate amongst themselves to negotiate how to best compromise on issues. At times, two players will walk into a private corner to discuss a plan to sabotage another player, while at other times players will not be trusted due to backstab-bing too often. These discussion phases can take up to an hour or more, de-pending on the intensity of the game. After the phase is done, players then write orders for how their troops should move. It is in this action phase that players can observe whether their negotiat-ing efforts paid off. “Diplomacy” is not for every-one. It can take up to two or three days to fi nish a game, and at times friendships are destroyed as a result of backstabbing. With these three games, students can develop articulate speaking for the future. In a com-petitive market, developing any skill allows an advantage, one that should not be taken lightly.

Flu season began just in time for Hawai‘i’s fi rst week of school, and runny-nosed students and faculty are running to doctors and drug stores for remedies. But despite recent 21st-centu-ry inventions that include fl ying cars and 3-D holograms, no one has found the cure for the com-mon cold or fl u. Americans spent $3.6 billion on over-the-counter medicines in 2009, according to Mintel Inter-national, a market research fi rm. Americans have spent a few mil-lion more on prescription antibi-otics. But research on over-the-counter (OTC) and prescribed medicines has found little proof of their effects on viral infections. “There is no good evidence for or against the effective-ness of OTC medicines in acute cough,” said a 2008 study pub-lished in the Cochrane Review. The study observed adults and children who were given cough medicine and a placebo. The re-sults were inconclusive. Multisymptom medicines have also gotten a bad rep in the past few years, with many saying a person should not take a cough syrup that claims to help a long
list of symptoms when all they have is a runny nose and cough. Both OTC and multisymptom medicines must be closely ob-served when distributed to chil-dren. Doctors advise that infants and children under two years old not be medicated unless advised by a professional because these medicines may result in life-threatening side effects. Vitamin C, echinacea and zinc are also popular ways many try to prevent and end colds. The New England Journal of Medicine found that echinacea has no effect on rhi-novirus, and that zinc found in nasal sprays may actually affect a person’s sense of smell. As for vitamin C, doctors say a person who consumes enough vitamin C daily may have a shorter cold, but it will not prevent one from catching a cold. Since vitamins are ineffective in preventing colds, researchers are unconvinced that Airborne, which consists of 17 vitamins, is effective. No actual studies have been performed on the product, in or outside of the company. And of course, there are anti-biotics. When that pesky cold just won’t give, people run to the doc-tor to be prescribed something stronger than cough medicine and orange juice. But as with other ail-ments, antibiotics have no effect
on a common cold because antibi-otics attack bacteria, not viruses. Antibiotics may prove to be the unpleasant ailment of all. They are expensive, and often come with nasty side effects like diarrhea, yeast infections in wom-en and rashes. So what can we do to knock the stuffi ng out of a cold? First of all, to prevent colds, common advice still holds true. Getting vaccinated for the fl u, frequently washing your hands with soap, exercising and getting enough sleep will help build up the average person’s immunity from colds. Nasal sprays, while they do not shorten the duration of a cold, can shrink blood vessels, reliev-ing a stuffy nose. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen can reduce fevers and body aches. Rinsing your nose with saline, us-ing a humidifi er and drinking liq-uids can help to break up mucus. And of course, there is chick-en soup, which has been proven to help reduce symptoms for colds.

Aloha, readers! Welcome back to a new semester and a whole new bunch of knots in my bibadees.
Like many students, I traveled during this past break. In Hawai‘i, traveling means f lying. Since the demise of the Superferry, even going to a neighbor island means packing your suitcases, asking your cousin for a ride to the air-port, and hopping on a plane to your destination. But something
new was added to the hustle and bustle of air travel this season. While a majority of f lyers will go through the standard take-off-your - shoes -and -walk- through-the-beeping-metal detector rou-tine, some 10 to 20 percent of travelers are now “randomly se-lected for additional screening.” I happen to be a frequent “random” person, having been “randomly selected” the last fi ve fl ights I have been on. A few years ago, additional screening meant security would
unzip and go through my luggage after it went through the X-ray. On my trip this break, before both of my f lights, I was given the choice to go through a full-body scanner or have an officer pat me down. The full-body scanner peers through clothing to see what a passenger may be hiding. Using millimeter wave technology, it produces an image of the passen-ger nude. There is still specula-tion on how harmful the waves are to the human body. The alternative to going through the body scanner is to have a Transportation Security Administration officer pat you down. The officer runs his hand over every surface of the pas-senger’s body and then has his gloves wiped and scanned for po-tentially dangerous chemicals. This includes running the hands in the waistband, on the chest
and up the inseam to the groin. As I stood in line, getting ready for my second feel-up in one trip, I looked around at the rest of 10 to 20 percent random travelers who had been herded away from the rest of the crowd. There were whole families, some with young children, scared and looking for guidance from one another. Fathers were consoling their families, telling them it was just a quick picture. I wondered how they felt about the TSA offi cers look-ing at their wives naked. I wondered how they would feel if their children got cancer from that “quick picture.” When our line ran out of bins for the X-ray, a man grabbed a bin from another line. “You put that back,” yelled a TSA offi cer, as if she were ad-dressing a prisoner. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Rainbow Wahine senior Stephanie De Lima was the WAC Diver of the Year in 2010.
FULL OF MOMENTUM The Rainbow Warrior and Rainbow Wahine diving teams captured each event in a dual-meet against the University of Wisconsin last week. Senior Emma Friesen re-turned to the women’s diving team after taking a year off re-covering from an injury. Friesen captured the women’s 1-meter diving event with a score of 282.6 and junior Daniella Nero captured the 3-meter title with a score of 310.3.
In 2008, Friesen won a nation-al title at the NCAA Champion-ships in the 1-meter. “Most of our women’s team is diving very well,” Brown said. “[Emma] is doing very well.” On the men’s side, junior Thom-as Rugg captured both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events with scores of 306.3 and 306.8. “Thomas has been improving his performances lately and will be battling [teammate] Douglas Cohen for top spots tomorrow,” Brown said.
LAST YEAR In last year’s Rainbow Diving Invitational, the men’s and wom-en’s teams swept the 1-meter and 3-meter events. Hawai‘i competed against Fairfi eld University and Harvard University. Rugg won the men’s 3-meter dive with 308.1 points followed
closely by Cohen who posted a 297.9 score. Cohen took the men’s 1-meter title with 306.75 points. Hannah Bocksnick won the women’s 1-meter for the Rainbow Wahine with a 279.6 point total and was followed by Stephanie De Lima, who was just .6 points behind with 279.0. Bocksnick also won the 3-me-
ter dive with a 331.8 point total. Brown described many char-acteristics that he stresses for the success of his team. “[Divers need to have] tal-ent, strength, bravery, agility, spatial awareness, consistency, determination, balance and lots of creativity,” he said.

Hawai‘i hosts Rainbow Diving Invitational

The University of Hawai‘i men’s and women’s diving teams will focus on creativity this weekend in the Rainbow Diving Invitational. “We are using this meet to try a number of more diffi cult dives that the divers have not tried in meets yet,” diving head coach Michael Brown said. “It ’s a good time to expand their repertoires.” The Invitational begins to-day at the Duke Kahanamoku
Aquatic Complex. The men’s and women’s 1-meter will begin at 2 p.m. and the 3-meter event will start at 3 p.m. Joining Hawai‘i in the field are Drury University and Colo-rado College. “The teams competing in this meet are in Hawai‘i for their Christmas training,” Brown said. “Drury is the best Division II swimming and diving team in the country and Colorado Col-lege is a Division III school.” “It’s not a real even match, but last week we had some good compe-tition from Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Harvard,” Brown continued.
