Bill to ban French delicacy introduced to the House PAIGE L. JINBO News Editor Hoping to prohibit the sale and future production of foie gras in Hawai‘i, two animal rights advocates have introduced a bill to the state legislature. “(Foie gras) is a terrible industry, where the heart of the cruelty lies in the production,” Jane Shiraki said. Shiraki, along with Barbara Steinberg, has campaigned for years to ban the French delicacy in the state. Foie gras, fattened duck or goose liver, is created through forced feeding of waterfowl. According to Shiraki, to produce the fatty liver, a 12-inch metal or plastic tube must be inserted into the throats of the birds, three times a day for up to four weeks, while an abnormally large amount of food is forcibly fed to each bird by a machine. During this process, the liver will expand to 10 to 12 times its normal size. “The birds are sickened, to the brink of death, and can barely walk, breathe or exert any effort due to being so deteriorated,” she explained. “Sometimes, these animals will literally explode internally from the forced feeding.” The birds are force

fed a corn mash mixture that has no nutritional value, but will produce a fatty liver. The amount of food is the equivalent of 44 pounds of pasta, Shiraki said. However, factory farmers of the gourmet liver have made the argument that prior to migrating, the birds will gorge themselves. “ Yes, this is true, but when they gorge themselves, their livers swell to t wice the size of its normal size, not 10 times,” Shiraki said. Furthermore, in an e-mail from Demian Dressler, veterinarian at Maui’s South Shore Veterinary Care, the forced feeding practice leads to the liver becoming diseased. “ The hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver) that aff licts the animals as a consequence of the practice is an actual disease syndrome and a recognized medical problem,” Dressler said. Last Monday, the opening day for the state legislature, the ban proposal was introduced and became House Bill 77. HB 77 mirrors C a l i f o r n i a ’s ban of

foie gras. In 2004, then Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that would end the forced feeding of ducks, geese and other birds to produce the French food by 2012. “The entire process of creating foie gras is very inhumane and it causes pain and suffering,” said Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland (D — Sand Island, Kalihi, Liliha, Nu‘uanu, Pauoa, Pu‘unui). Chun Oakland was one of the co-introducers of the bill. “We need to treat animals humanely and with compassion,” she added. While production of foie gras doesn’t occur in Hawai‘i, HB 77 would prevent it from ever occurring. Steinberg,

who spearheaded the campaign against foie gras, suggested people indulge in faux foie gras instead. Faux foie gras entails the waterfowl gorging themselves on their own time. During this process, the livers don’t become diseased. “These products are still considered by the industry a comparable substitute, yet the product is made without the suffering and torture of force f e e d -

ing,” Steinberg said. The next step for Shiraki and Steinberg is to wait for their bill to be heard. In addition, there is a Senate version that’s being circulated through the state Senate for signatures. By Wednesday, there should also be a SB for the ban on fois gras. “It’s appalling that we treat these animals like a commodity,” Steinberg said. “Foie gras is the cruelest of all factory farming and is not good for the masses.”

Mānoa Experience offers a taste of campus life JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor This Saturday, the Mānoa Experience will introduce potential students to life at the University of Hawai‘i’s f lagship campus. The third annual event, sponsored by the Office of Admissions, aims to showcase all that UHM has to offer. McCarthy Hall and the lawn at Hawai‘i Hall will host student club performances, informational booths and tours of newly renovated dorms. “ This is the one time a year where the entire university community comes out, opens its doors and shares all of the remarkable things we are doing here at the university, and providing the op portunity for potential,” said Merrissa Uchimura, the initial organizer with the Office of Admissions. “[This will give students] an insider’s glimpse of what they can expect, should they choose UH Mānoa as their university.”

DOYLE MOELLER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Hale Aloha’s renovations are finally over, leaving behind improved common areas, among other things. The event will open at 9 a.m. with a performance by the pep band, followed by Balinese dance. KTUH will DJ the event. Pattie Dunn, a volunteer and under-

graduate academic advisor for Asian Studies, said major construction on campus should not deter potential students. “I think [the construction] is good

because it shows there’s some investment in the universit y, that interesting things are happening. Wouldn’t you like to see that we are actually working on something, that we are f ixing buildings? I think it says that we think our students are important.” Dunn sa id that r ising t uit ion has not discouraged potent ial st udents. “ We’ve got a lot of st udents t ransferr ing to Mānoa and more local st udents that are interested.” Quincy Greenheck, a first-year M.A. student in English, said he thinks the construction won’t immediately benefit new students. “It’s good for people that are going to be starting college three years from now. This sort of renovation always lasts longer than they say it will.” Renovated dorms are only one aspect of the campus, Greenheck said. “A lot of the buildings are out of date. It doesn’t See Mānoa Experience, next page

seem like they have any new facilities that they’ve made any time recently.” Other draws to the campus include the reputation of certain departments at UHM. Dunn said that the Asian Studies department is one reason student from the mainland are attracted to UHM. “ They are saying that whenever they look up things for Asian Studies, UH professors are almost always quoted. It really convinced them that this is a place they need to be.” The university is promoting the Mānoa Experience through mailings, posters and radio. UHM also has representatives to promote the event at high schools and college fairs. Uchimura said she expects

a large crowd as a result. “We are hoping for a huge turnout, and will be ecstatic if 1,000 show up. Last year, we had about 600 overall attendees, and the year before, about 800.” In addition to campus tours, Greek and other student organizations will have informational booths. Students will also get a sense of what working in their majors might be like. The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources will have a hands-on termite display, and Engineering will bring the ve hicles its students have put together. Attendees can win prizes from the UH Bookstore at the interactive booths. Uchimura said the event organizers are encouraging cur-

rent UHM students and alumni to attend. “If you are a current student and are undecided, for instance, this is a great opportunity to see what types of programs are out there. We will have faculty and students participating in the various school/college informational booths. We are also inviting alumni back to campus to visit and see the many changes that have occurred over the years.” T he showcase w ill also al low potent ial and cur rent st udents alike to discover opport unit ies about which they may not have k now n. “ We have a lot to of fer here,” sa id Dunn. “I don’t think people underst and how much we have here.”

The spicy diversities of kimchee

A LVIN PARK Associate Features Editor When someone mentions Korean food, it’s hard not to conjure images of freshly pickled kimchee, since it’s commonly referred to as the Korean food staple. In Korea, kimchee is the most popular banchan (side dish),

dating back over 2,600 years, and continues to be an essential part of any Korean meal. Today, Korea boasts over 200 different varieties of kimchee, most including the key ingredients of napa cabbage, green onion, radish and cucumbers. As a local favorite, kimchee is also used in other eclectic Korean dishes, adhering to each person’s specialized taste.

K I MC H E E B O K K E U M BA P (K I MC H E E F R I E D R I C E ) Kimchee fried rice is a local favorite that can be found in many non-Korean eateries such as Big City Diner and even Campus Center. The premise of the dish is simple and self-explanatory, and it serves as a great dish for Grandma’s Famous Kimchee at Big City Diner people who have not yet acMADMARV00/FLICKR quired the taste for kimchee.

Chopped kimchee – a choice of meat, vegetables, garlic and onions – is sautéed in a pan. Soy sauce and sesame oil are usually used to season and blend the f lavors together. Lastly, an egg (usually cooked sunny side up) is placed on top of the kimchee fried rice.

KIMC H E E C H I GAE (KIMC H E E STEW) Kimchee chigae is probably the most popular kimchee dish in Korea. Although it is usually only found in traditional Korean restaurants, this dish is enjoyed by island locals and native Koreans alike for its spicy ﬂ avor. K imchee chigae is prepared using ripe kimchee, which helps give the stew a stronger taste. A lthough freshly pickled kimchee may be used, it is often avoided since it won’t bring out

the rich taste that older kimchee usually does. Like the 200 -plus varieties of kimchee, this dish also can also be prepared in numerous ways. Typically, chopped kimchee is put into a pot of water or anchovy stock and vegetables such as onions and garlic are added. You can also add tofu, seafood or different kinds of meat, usually pork. The soup is seasoned with kochujang (chili pepper paste), which adds to the spicy broth and gives the dish a stark red color. The dish is usually put in a stone pot and brought to the table still boiling. It is eaten as a main dish accompanied by various side dishes.

K I MC H E E B U C H I N GA E (K I MC H E E PA N C A K E ) Kimchee buchingae is a Korean dish that is less widely

known than kimchee fried rice and kimchee chigae, but is becoming increasingly popular in Hawai‘i. It is also a popular dish for Westerners who visit Korea due to the scarcity of the dish in many states. The dish is basically a pancake consisting of kimchee, vegetables, meat and sometimes seafood. It is fast and simple to make, and usually served as an appetizer or a side dish. It is usually prepared by adding kimchee and your choice of vegetables and meat to a bowl of f lour, starch and water, which serves as the pancake batter. It is then poured into a pre-heated pan with oil and spread thinly so the edges get crispy. Once the pancake is fried, it is usually sliced up into smaller pieces and served with a bowl of soy sauce and vinegar for seasoning.

Join us as we kick off the ¿rst in a series of special events called the I Love Chinatown Festival. The ¿rst Festival will be celebrating Chinese New Year, The Year of the Rabbit, and the return of the NFL Pro Bowl.

Is APEC meaningless?

ILLUSTRATION BY JUSTIN NICHOLAS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Hawai‘i will play host to the 2011 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, but the previous choice of venue leaves some questioning the effectiveness of the meetings. A BIGAIL TRENHAILE Staff Writer

The Waikīkī Outback Steakhouse is an unlikely location for international diplomacy talks, yet in December of last year, senior officials from various Asia-Pacific economies discussed bilateral trade agreements over steak, a symbol of the complex supply chains that have come to define our daily lives. The reason for such informality: Hawai‘i is hosting the 2011 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in November, and as a precursor to the event, the U.S. State Department held the Informal Senior Officials Meeting at the East-West Center. After months of bidding from local leaders, Honolulu was selected to host the summit. Hawaii’s leaders in academia, government and business are now preparing for the event, which will cost the state around $28 million. The 2011 summit is arguably one of the biggest events to come to Hawai‘i, but with such a large tab and an even larger state budget deficit, many are questioning the point of APEC. After all, an organization

headquartered in Singapore seems to have little effect on our most pressing problems, like the energy crisis and 9 percent unemployment rate. Even more perplexing is the fact that APEC doesn’t actually produce trade agreements. APEC is a non-binding forum, meaning it works to facilitate economic integration in trade and investment, but trade agreements aren’t produced. The result is a double-edged sword: APEC appeals to diplomats, who can talk freely without the pressure to negotiate and hammer out agreements, but receives disdain from academics and the general public who do not see palpable results. As a volunteer at last year’s ISOM, I also know that the informality of APEC, like its steak dinners, is what creates the foundation for formality. That is, APEC creates opportunity for palpable results. Listening to Susan Schwab, the former U.S. trade representative who gave ISOM’s keynote speech, I realized that APEC’s forums are a place of mediation. “We are all victims and villains,” Schwab said, referring to

the fact that APEC’s 21-member economies have both invoked prohibitive trade practices and carried the burden of those tariffs and quotas. A recent example would be the U.S.-China dispute over steel. When China subsidizes the production of steel pipes, a violation of World Trade Organization principles, the U.S. retaliates by imposing heavy tariffs on Chinese pipes. APEC seeks to alleviate these trade squabbles in a time when the world’s biggest economies cannot afford to get caught up in isolationism and protectionism, practices that threaten growth and ultimately keep us in our economic mire. Instead, APEC comes up with solutions and sets them before members. With meetings and working groups aimed at creating sustainable energy solutions and jobs, governments and other institutions are given a platform to create not just the AsiaPaciﬁc trade agenda, but the world’s. Even if the WTO’s Doha Development Round, committed to lowering trade barriers, has been suspended indeﬁnitely, APEC can lead by example and act as mediators.

SPECIAL SPEAKER Lauren Moriarty, former U.S. Ambassador the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation

Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 4 p.m. in Saunders Hall, 5th floor, Miller Room Ambassador Moriarty, a UH alumnus, is the current dean of the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies and the former ambassador to APEC. Students will have a chance to learn about APEC, which is being hosted in Hawai‘i this year, and about Moriarty’s career in the U.S. State Department.

Why the Wii wins SHANE MOORE Staff Writer

BARTENDERS WANTED Up to $300/Day No Exp. Necessary • Training Provided Age 18+ OK 800-965-6520 x172

Ah, the great Console Wars. For the console gaming crowd, there have always been sides to take: Nintendo vs. Sega, Nintendo vs. Sony, and in the most recent generation, a choice between Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. The question of the day is: Which one should you buy? The Nintendo Wii has the strongest market share, easily outpacing both the 360 and the PS3, for good reason. With its release in 2006, the Wii revolutionized console gaming with the introduction of motion controls, reﬁ ned by the release of the Wii MotionPlus attachment in 2009. Nintendo’s competitors are just catching up with the game, with Microsoft’s Kinect and Sony’s PlayStation Move both released in the second half of 2010. Unique hardware hardly makes the Wii the best console on the market. After all, the most important parts of gaming are the games themselves — and in that category, the Wii does not disappoint. Nintendo has released titles for all of its classic franchises, all of them worthy successors. The ever-faithful Mario has had many platforming titles out for the Wii. Three of the titles in particular include the two “Super Mario Galaxy” games and a throwback to Mario’s old-school origins, “New Super Mario Brothers Wii.” Donkey Kong’s first real title in nearly a decade is the aptly titled “Donkey Kong Country Returns,” which is sure to please fans of the old series. The pink terror Kirby also made a comeback with the aesthetically unique “Kirby’s Epic Yarn.” The adventure-gaming crowd enjoyed strong releases for Nintendo’s major series in “ The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” and “Metroid Prime 3: Corrup-

tion.” Strategy fans saw a new addition to the “Fire Emblem” family with “Radiant Dawn.” Nintendo has not been content with sticking to its tried-and-true franchises, releasing great new properties in various genres. The Wii has introduced some great new action titles, like the quirky, off-the-wall “No More Heroes” and its sequel, “NMH: Desperate Struggle,” which combine wild, fast-paced swordﬁ ghting with a plot so ludicrous you can’t help but laugh. Resident nerd Travis Touchdown, who is based on Johnny Knoxville of television’s “Jackass,” brawls his way to the No. 1 spot of the United Assassins Association in order to pay for video games and wrestling movies. Those with more visceral tastes might enjoy the ultraviolent “MadWorld,” a black-and-white cel-shaded killfest artistically reminiscent of the “Sin City” comics. “Muramasa: The Demon Blade,” based on various aspects of Japanese mythology, combines beautiful artistry, austere storylines and strong gameplay. “Punch-Out!! Wii,” sequel to the NES classic “Punch-Out!! with Mike Tyson,” offers fun, challenging and intuitive motion-based gameplay. For third-party platformers, “Sonic Colors” offers the kind of fun, fast-paced and reﬁ ned gameplay which has been absent from the series for years. Oh, but perhaps you’re more a fan of shooters? Well, fear not, for the Wii has various titles to suit your precision-based violence needs. “GoldenEye 007” offers the kind of stealth-based action expected from James Bond, while “The Conduit” helps to sate all your futuristic, alien-slaughtering desires. “House of the Dead: Overkill” combines the rail-shooting gameplay expected of the series with over-thetop grindhouse artistry, while “Sin and Punishment: Star Successor” is challenging enough to give even experienced players a hard time. The Wii also includes complete backwards compatibility

with the Nintendo GameCube, a Virtual Console containing classic titles from the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64 and various other old-school consoles and the online WiiWare store, with various new indie games. Looking at the year ahead, things can only get better for the Wii. “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword,” complete with MotionPlus compatability, is scheduled for a 2011 release. “Conduit 2,” the sequel to “The Conduit,” promises a new title for firstperson shooter fans, and “Xenoblade,” a previously Japan-exclusive RPG with a unique blend of action elements, is scheduled for American release this year. With such a solid lineup of games both old and new, and so many strong titles coming up this year, the Wii makes a great addition to any gamer’s setup.

Freedom of speech: use with caution E THAN WARREN PORTER Senior Staff Columnist Two weeks ago in Tucson, AZ, a lone gunman opened ﬁre at a political gathering, killing nine innocent people. This tragedy, like others before it, united the entire nation in shock and sadness. For a brief moment, ever yone stood together to bow their heads in mourning for those who had died. But when those heads rose, so did the fingers pointing at each other, saying, “ This is your fault.” The argument has boiled down to the question of whether

I know that words hurt. Like every child, I was teased, and as an adult I have been called a few choice names as well. But what hurts worse: the meaning of those terrible words, or the feelings that are directed through them? Just as an example, imagine that you and your friend are eating lunch when he ﬂ icks some food in your face as a gag. You say, “I’m going to kill you.” I cannot think of any words more powerful than those, and, if uttered in certain situations, those words can have you thrown in jail. But your friend just laughs and you continue on your merry way.

Our society needs to have a serious rearrangement of our vocabulary ... On the f lip side of that, imagine that someone cuts you off on the H-1, almost causing an accident. You pull up beside him and yell, “you jackass!” Do you think that he will get mad because you referred to him as a donkey or because you said something to convey your anger? I can think of a million other examples in our society and in my life where a word that has no violent or malevolent meaning has hurt almost as badly as a physical blow. Our society needs to have a serious rearrangement of our vocabulary, because all of our so-called “curse words” have less hurtful meanings than the words we use everyday in our popular culture. Seriously, would you rather be a piece of feces, or dead?

the current political rhetoric has become too violent, or rather, which viewpoint’s rhetoric has gotten too violent. One side of the country blamed the other, and then the other side blamed them back. Each side is crying out about the infringement on its freedom of speech, guaranteed to all Americans by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Also along this topic is the current argument that Mark Twain’s classic “ The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and other period pieces. should be edited to replace any “inappropriate words relating to A frican-Americans” with “slave.” The true question here is: How much damage do words really produce?

UH clinic gives back to local athletics JAKE CAMARILLO Senior Staff Reporter

This Friday and Saturday, the University of Hawai‘i will host it’s second annual Hawai‘i Strength Clinic, which is geared to give back to local athletics. With many clinics done on the mainland, this one provides teaching and development from professional speakers to those involved in sports locally. “If they do clinics all over the country at different schools, why don’t we try to set up one here in Hawai‘i and see how it works out?” UH strength and conditioning coach Tommy Heffernan said on why he started the clinic. Funds from the event go back to the UH weight rooms. “Last year it turned out great. We had almost 200 people attend and it was a combination of students, coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists and people in the industry.” The event also helps athletic trainers, and strength and conditioning specialists, who can earn credits to maintain their National Strength and Conditioning Association certiﬁ cation. “ This is really huge for them. They don’t have to go to the mainland where most clinics are and they can save a lot of money,” Heffernan said. “For those guys, this is a little more important because they need it to continue their certification.” People from Kaua‘i to the Big Island attended last year. “We had a lot of high school coaches, but we also had a lot of athletic trainers and physical therapists from all over the state,” Heffernan said. It will take place this Friday 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Alexander Waterhouse Training Facility and fea-

tures 11 speakers.

THE SPEAKERS Heffernan, who is in charge of the clinic, said they’ve beefed up the clinic’s lineup with 11 speakers. Last year, they only had seven. “We’re having three speakers on Friday evening and then we’re having eight on Saturday,” Heffernan said. Last year’s clinic also focused mainly on football and volleyball, but this week’s clinic includes more variety. Speakers include Leslie Mosier, a soccer strength coach at Stanford; Coop Derenne, a UH Kinesiology and Leisure Science professor; University of Southern California pitching coach Tom House; mixed martial artist Egan Inoue; and Tommy Kono, a weightlifter who Heffernan said was one of the best of all time. “We went a little bit out this year, and tried to get more coaches from different ﬁelds to bring into the clinic,” Heffernan said. For football, strength and conditioning head coaches Ray Wright (NFL’s Washington Redskins), Jim Radcliffe (University of Oregon) and Pat Ivey (University of Missouri) will speak.

When?

Friday, Jan. 28 from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 29 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

How much?

$60 for UH students with validated IDs. The cost includes a clinic shirt, lunch and socials at the end of both days.
