Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology celebrates new facility ERENIA T. M ICHELL Staff Writer
The Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology celebrated the opening of its newest research learning center on Coconut Island last Thursday with students, faculty and guests in attendance. The opening included an awards luncheon to recognize recipients of the Carol Ann and Myron K. Hayashida and Alan Church Environmental Steward SOEST scholarships, which support undergraduate and graduate students pursing Marine Science degrees. The HIMB, located in Kāne‘ohe Bay, is an organized research unit that is part of the Univer-
sity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. Planning for the new facility began in 2006, with the help of Hawai‘i Senator Daniel K. Inouye and the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Pacific Island Region to develop a hands-on facility and education in marine science for grade levels K-12. The new facility is equipped with a sophisticated audio-visual system with digital microscope and integrated computers for doing experiments and analyzing data. “The new center provides a place for upper elementary to high school students to participate in hands-on and inquiry-based marine biology labs that introduces students to the important re-
search at HIMB, while making it relevant to the content they need to learn in school science classes,” said Malia Rivera, Education Specialist and principal investigator of the HIMB Education Program, “We’ll also will hold more intensive summer training programs for high school and early undergraduates there in the future.” Rivera said the new facility will not only benefit students at the university level, but local students across the board. “The benefit is to provide access to our local students to the important research going on at HIMB that is relevant to marine
conservation in Hawai‘i, and the facility enables us to provide more opportunities to build pathways for students interested in pursuing marine science at the college and professional levels.” She said the facility’s priority users are middle to high school students, but it will also host upper elementary, undergraduates, graduates and community members. But what makes the new facility and UHM’s Institute of Marine Biology special? “It is a fantastic facility with a state-of-the-art integrated A/V system, uniquely situated on Moku o Lo‘e [Coconut Island] and dedicated to marine education for Hawai‘i’s students,” said Rivera. The new marine science center might not have been con-
structed because of budget cuts and limited monetary fl ow within UH, but Rivera says the facility and its program were made possible by the outside contributions the HIMB received. “Funding through the Offi ce of National Marine Sanctuaries Program Pacifi c Island Region, and with the support of the Offi ce of Senator Daniel K. Inouye, got this started. Major funding also came from the Harold K. L. Castle Foundation,” Rivera said. Additional contributions were made by the Emmett R. Quady Foundation, Honolulu Community College (in the form of integrated A/V and digital scopes) and in-kind contributions and materials by Brett Hill Construction, Inc.

Change the world through Aloha Movement Project H AIYA SARWAR Associate Features Editor
Feeling like your classes are a waste of time and energy? Become an intern for Aloha Movement Project. “We’re all about harnessing education as a renewable resource,” explained AMP’s inventor, Jon Fritzler. “Because where is all that energy going right now? It goes into these big projects and papers we turn in for a grade and then get back – and throw away.” The young leader started the organization while studying at UH Mānoa. Feeling like his classes were nothing more than hours of busy work, Fritzler was inspired to make his university experience count for something more than a paper certifi cate. He wanted to use his education and time to do something real and meaningful,
something that would contribute positively to society. “A lot of young people want to do something, but they don’t know how,” Fritzler said. “They say they want to, for example, join the Peace Corps, but that’s for after they graduate. AMP is like the Peace Corps for students right here and now. Our goal is to create activists.” AMP is open to all students, whether you’re pursuing a degree in zoology or accounting. The program is designed to work with what each student brings to the table. And since the internship counts as an upper division class, students can “volunteer” a lot of their time and still graduate. In fact, AMP actually works with your classes. At the beginning of the semester, AMP interns bring their class syllabi together and plan how they can use
their regular class projects for social initiative. As Fritzler said, “‘Education Energy as a Renewable Resource for Social Change’ is the product of applying school projects to focus on solving social issues collectively. Creating Social Action Plans with school projects generates a perpetual motion with the student’s ideas, and not just a means to a letter grade.” Though A MP is serious in its initiatives, it ’s also a fun way for students to get involved with the community. The A MP interns also throw public functions, such as concerts and parties, to create awareness and involve the community. “A MP events play a huge role because they amplify research, increase awareness, and raise funding to implement change,” Fritzler said.
As simple as it sounds in theory, the AMP program is pretty revolutionary. The AMP model was inspired by UH, but other schools are using it too. Last year, AMP opened one chapter in Alaska and two in California. Fritzler
has great faith in going global. “Our ultimate goal,” Fritzler said, “is that once AMP spreads through the U.S. and the rest of the world, students will be able to share their educational energy and collaborate with one another globally.”

Oscar nominations: ‘King’s Speech’ earns 12 nods, ‘True Grit’ follows with 10
SUSAN K ING AND R ENE LYNCH L OS A NGELES TIMES MCT
“The King’s Speech” dominated the nominations for the 83rd annual Academy Awards on Tuesday morning, earning 12 nods including best picture and best lead actor for Colin Firth as King George IV, who battles to eradicate his stammer when he suddenly takes the throne. Joel and Ethan Coen’s spirited remake of the Western “True Grit” followed with 10 Oscar nominations, including best picture. “The Social Network” and “Inception” scored eight apiece. Those four films are in the running for best picture with
six other movies: “Black Swan,” “The Fighter,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “127 Hours,” “Toy Story 3” and “Winter’s Bone.” “Toy Story 3” is also nominated in four more categories, including best animated feature. Firth, who won the Golden Globe for his lead role in “The King’s Speech,” is joined in the lead actor race by James Franco for “127 Hours,” surprise nominee Javier Bardem for “Biutiful,” Jesse Eisenberg for “The Social Network” and Jeff Bridges, who won last year in this category for “Crazy Heart,” for “True Grit.” Natalie Portman, Golden Globe winner and mom-to-be, is nominated for lead actress in “Black Swan” along with fellow Globe winner
Annette Bening for “The Kids Are All Right,” Nicole Kidman for “Rabbit Hole,” Jennifer Lawrence for “Winter’s Bone” and Michelle Williams in “Blue Valentine.” Supporting actor nominees are Christian Bale in “ The Fighter,” surprise nominee John Hawkes for “Winter’s Bone,” Jeremy Renner in “ The Town,” Mark Ruffalo in “ The Kids Are All Right” and Geoffrey Rush for “ The King’s Speech.” On the supporting actress side, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo will duke it out for their roles in “ The Fighter.” Helena Bonham Carter is nominated for “ The King’s Speech,” 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld in “ True Grit,” and Jacki Weaver in “Animal Kingdom.”
Notably missing from the performance list: Ryan Gosling for lead actor in “Blue Valentine,” A ndrew Garfield for sup porting actor in “ The Social Network,” Mark Wahlberg for lead actor in “ The Fighter” and Mila Kunis for supporting actress in “Black Swan.” There was also a surprise in the directing category. Christopher Nolan, who is nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award for “Inception,” failed to earn an Oscar nomination in that category. He did receive a nod for his screenplay for the surreal thriller. Competing in the directing category are Darren Aronofsky for “Black Swan,” David O. Russell for “ The Fighter,” Tom
Hooper for “ The King’s Speech,” David Fincher for “ The Social Network” and brothers Joel and Ethan Coen for “ True Grit.” The siblings also were nominated for their adapted screenplay of Charles Portis’ novel. The academy shared the wealth this year, doling out nominations in the major category to movies big and small. Nominated alongside blockbusters such as “Inception,” “ Toy Stor y 3” and “ True Grit ” are such tiny indies as “ Winter’s Bone” and “A nimal K ingdom” – two films that received acclaim but had limited release. The 83rd Academy Awards will air live at 8 p.m. EST Feb. 27 on ABC from the Kodak Theatre.

PS3: longevity, performance and special features JAY-M E MORITA Staff Writer
You’ve wrestled with the idea of which one to buy many times. You may have even gotten into heated arguments with your friends over it. Which gaming console is better, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360? Assuming you’re a broke college student like me and don’t have the money to purchase both, there are several things you should know about a system before purchasing its features, performance and longevity. In my humble opinion, PS3 reigns supreme. First off, the PS3 plays Bluray discs. As you may know, Bluray is now the premier HD video format. In addition to playing regular DVDs, the PS3 supports new 3D video technology. This also means that the PS3 is capable of broadcasting content in full 1080p resolution. Although the 360’s software is
able to display in 1080p, most games for the system are displayed in 720p. add ddiIn comparison, what addisc content can caa n be p laye la yed ye d tional disc played s ide ffrom rom on the Xbox 360 as aside d games?

In today’s gaming community, what’s more important than Internet connectivity? While both systems offer a fairly robust
online network, only the PS3 offers this service for free. If the cost for playing online we re we r minor, m in i or, this wouldn’t w were be much of an argument. mu much However, However, consider X box Live’s Live $60 anXbox n al nu su nual subscription p ice. If the player pr price. chooses to pay chooses monthly instead of monthly a nnually the overannually, aall l l price increases. W h While certain ffeatures eatures might inittially ially aattract you tto o a sy system, they w on’t mean m won’t a thing iiff the ssystem can’t ssupport uppor them. Des Despite both ssystems system y having a 33.2 .2 G GHz processsor, or, the PS3’s CPU ccan perform almos almost three times as many operat operations as the 360’s in the same amou amount of time. Worth mentioning is the
PS3’s dramatically faster R AM speed — 3.2 GHz, compared to the Xbox’s 700MHz. So what does this mean for you? It means that as gaming technology continues to improve and the demands made on your platform increase, the PS3 won’t have any trouble handling it. And that brings me to my fi nal point: longevity. The PS3 was built with long-term compatibility in mind, and its equipment was designed to withstand technological advancement for a signifi cantly longer time. In the end, this all relates to cost. W hile the Xbox 360 may appear to have more on the shelf at the same price, in the long run, it will eventually cost more money. Despite all this, I admit that the PS3 isn’t per fect. I certainly won’t be able to convince ever yone that the PS3 is better, but it is nice to know that I won’t get “pwnd” by my wallet af ter I buy a PS3.

XBox 360: game quality and multiplayer experience K EONI DAVEY Contributing Writer
This is it. For the past few months, you’ve worked your tail off to save up enough money to buy what some college students only dream of: a video game console. You stepped into the store with great anticipation, knowing you were just a few minutes away from glory. Suddenly, you stop dead in your tracks. How do you choose between the PS3 and the Wii? Fortunately, you don’t have to. The Xbox 360 is superior to both. I, like many people, had to make this choice. I decided to use game quality and multiplayer experience as criteria for judging each console. One could argue that price is important, but it’s easy to purchase a used or refurbished console at a discounted rate. Let’s face it – nobody wants to play terrible or boring games. And, admittedly, the
Wii does have a lot of entertaining party games. But that’s the thing; they’re multiplayer party games. Due to its lack of mature games, the Wii is easily put in third place for game quality. T hat leaves us with the X box 360 and the PS3. T he X box 360 is host to some of the hottest game series on the market: “Gears of War,” “Halo” and “Fable.” Best-selling games like “Bioshock ” and “ T he Elder Scrolls I V: Oblivion” were initially released exclusively on the X box 360 — PS3 owners had to wait a year. W hile there are a few decent PS3 only games on the market, none of them live up to the popularit y and qualit y of their X box 360 rivals. Despite technological advancements in the PS3, Xbox 360 has the edge in game quality, because of Sony’s refusal to re -implement backwards compatibility. Players cannot play games like the “Final Fantasy” series on a new PS3.
Xbox 360 allows players to play old Xbox games for free. No gaming experience is complete without playing alongside other people. W hile all three consoles feature online multiplayer, only Xbox 360 requires a paid subscription. A paid subscription might seem unfair, but trust me when I say you’re paying for quality. Microsof t ’s X box Live is well-run and of fers a wide variet y of free downloadable content in addition to paid content. T he annual subscription is $60, but a prepaid card bought in stores will lower the price, and is still cheaper than a Netf lix subscription. There have been numerous complaints over the years about Wii’s Wi-Fi and PS3’s PlayStation Network. As with all free products, these have included complaints about faulty connections and lag. The most of these complaints stem from the Playstation Network’s inability to
smoothly run online multiplayer fi rst person shooters like “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops.” Many of the complaints result from the PlayStation Network dropping players in the middle of the game and a lack of security which allowed people to develop hacks that Sony was unable to fi x. While an Xbox Live subscription may cost more, the Xbox 360 is the perfect console for any college student who wants to get the most out of his gaming experience. Whether it is playing the best games, or playing with people from around the world, the Xbox 360 offers unparalleled quality. And if you ever get tired of gaming, you can always use your Xbox 360 to check your Facebook, send a tweet on Twitter or watch a movie on Netfl ix. While other systems might have comparable services, their quality is lacking. Simply put, you can’t beat the Xbox 360.

Modern army: a thing of the past A ARON HUNGER Staff Writer As a former soldier who has always been a strong proponent of national defense, I witnessed a debate over the modern army that made me wonder if military missiles, tanks, ships and planes are a good idea. The debaters based their arguments on two recent developments.
report. When he made a complaint, the governor refused to see him. Bouazizi then took some accelerant to the front of a local government building, doused himself and set himself alight in protest. The people of Tunisia erupted in violent revolution against their president and his party. According to BBC reports, the RCD was overthrown and has since disbanded, and President Ali fl ed to
It continues to be ignored that a single person can make more of a statement than an entire army. The fi rst is the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia, a country bordering Libya and Algeria. The second is Iran’s nuclear program. In October 2009, Tunisian President Ben Ali was elected for a fi fth consecutive term in what was considered a “free and fair” manner, as reported by BBC. However, Amnesty International, an international human rights group, stated that “while Tunisia is formally a democracy with a multi-party system, the secular Constitutional Democratic Rally [RCD], formerly Neo Destour, has controlled the country as one of the most repressive regimes in the Arab world since its independence in 1956.” Evidence that supports the allegation came from a 26-yearold Tunisian man, Mohamad Bouazizi, who tried to help his family by selling food from a cart. In December 2010, Bouazizi, who had gone into debt to purchase food to sell, attempted to set up his cart and sell food. According to BBC, local police confi scated the produce because he did not have a permit. Bouazizi was then publicly beaten by Feyda Hamdi, a public official, and two of her coworkers, according to an International Business Times
Saudi Arabia to seek refuge. It was also reported that past RCD party members attempted to form a new government until elections can be held, but the people overthrew it, asking U.S. and EU officials to help them form a new democratic government. It continues to be ignored that a single person can make more of a statement than an entire army. During the Vietnam War, Buddhist monks made the same political statement against the U.S., which many feel was the turning point of public support for the war. The second point in the debate dealt with Iran’s nuclear program which, according to all accounts, may be approaching viability. According to the Iranians, this nuclear program will be used for energy purposes. The U.N., EU and U.S. requested that Iran comply with international laws allowing outside inspectors to ensure that no nuclear weapons are being produced. However, Iran has never fully complied, and all attempts to stop Iran, short of invasion, have failed. Perhaps Mohamed Bouazizi will one day be connected with the end of large armies. In any case, our 21st-century military may need some serious changes.

Freshmen ’Bows from page 12
“We’re ‘ohana, we’re a family,” Barnes said. “We have a group of guys that care for each other and are there for each other.” Arnold said the three came into a program that was rebuilding and the whole team — not just the freshmen — had to learn the system together. “It’s been good,” he said. “It was a little bit different since we were a new staff. The entire program was new, so the freshmen and the seniors were on the same level as far as learning offenses and defenses and how I coach. “But as far as learning the college atmosphere and the college life, they’ve [seniors
Hiram Thompson, Bill Amis and Douglas Kurtz] been great at helping those guys be students,” Arnold continued. Arnold believes Wiseman, Barnes and Miles will be effective in the future as well. “I expect that group to stay together and build traditions, and when the newcomers come in to teach them the system,” Arnold said. “I hope those guys can cut down some nets and win a championship.”
LIFE OUSTSIDE OF BA K E T BA L L According to Arnold, Wiseman and Miles are more light-hearted, while Barnes is a bit more serious.
“Trevor and Bobby are kind of jokesters and have a lot of fun,” Arnold said. “They are very outgoing and fun to be around and have a lot of friends. “Bo is, too, but Bo is a little bit more reserved than those guys. Bo is an outstanding student and really takes his studies seriously and does a good job,” he continued. Still, aside from being freshmen, playing basketball and being Rainbow Warriors, the three have one more thing in common – video games. “I like to watch movies and play ‘Call of Duty,’” Barnes said. “I like to play ‘NBA 2K’ and download music and hang out with my friends,” Wiseman said.

Freshmen frenzy ’Bows sparked by first-year players M ARC A R AK AKI Associate Sports Editor Imagine you’re a college freshman playing the sport you love — that’s pretty cool. But playing in front of 6,000 fans each game? Now that’s another story. Bo Barnes, Bobby Miles and Trevor Wiseman, freshmen on the Rainbow Warrior basketball team, play in front of the University of Hawai‘i fans every game. The large UH fan base has been a nice change. “It’s a really great feeling,” said Wiseman, who plays forward. “I wasn’t used to it in high school. The crowd wasn’t that big, but I got used to it. I love playing here.” Barnes, a shooting guard, enjoys the opportunity. “It’s fun,” he said. “Not many freshmen get to go out and [play], so it’s fun that I have the chance to just go out.” First-year head coach Gib Arnold felt that the three have made a smooth transition from playing in high school gyms to the 10,300-

P L AY T H I S Y E A R Barnes headlines the trio, averaging 26.5 minutes per game and 7.5 points per game. He leads the team at 39.2 percent from 3-point range and is second on the team with 40 3-pointers so far. “I didn’t have any expecta-
tions coming in as a freshman, but Coach gave me a lot of confidence and had a lot of trust in me – – allowed me to go in there,” Barnes said. Miles, a point guard, averages 3.3 points per game and started in 10 of the 18 games he has appeared in. In the Diamond Head Classic against Florida State — a game televised nationally on ESPU — Miles played all 40 minutes and racked up six assists and three steals. “[I want to] get better and get along with my teammates and help them get better [to] help me get better,” Miles said. Wiseman is known as a hustling defensive specialist. His 15 steals rank him second on the team despite averaging just 16.8 minutes per game. His best game came in a win against Mississippi State, which sealed the team’s fi fth place finish in the Diamond Head Classic. Wiseman was 4-of-6 from the floor with nine points and eight rebounds. “I’m just trying to do my part,” Wiseman said. “I am a freshman. I’m just playing my role but as the years pass, I want to be the go-to guy.”
