JOSEPH CASSIDY Contributing Writer University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center researcher and assistant professor Unhee Lim has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the V Foundation for Cancer Research. “I believe that the rare translational emphasis of the project for prevention, as opposed to treatment, might have been considered important by the Review Board of the V Foundation,” Lim said. The grant is part of what the V Foundation calls the V Scholar Program and will go towards Lim’s research of analyzing whether global DNA methylation levels in blood cells indicate a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer among patients of a variety of ethnicities. Lim is one of only 17 recipients to receive this grant nationwide which, according to the V Foundation website, “enable[s] talented young scientists to establish their laboratories and gain a competitive edge necessary to earn additional funding from other sources.”
UNIQUE PICK Cancer cells have different methylation profiles (which control gene expression in cells) than healthy cells, but it is currently unclear how early these changes occur and
whether they are limited to the specific organ site. Lim’s research focuses on understanding these changes. Lim said that her research likely stood out because of its unique multi-ethnic study population, which includes Native Hawaiians, Japanese Americans, Caucasians and Latinos. According to Lim, another advantage of this study is that it uses pre-diagnostic samples as opposed to comparing cancer patients with healthy patients.
CHANGING INTERESTS
After majoring in nutrition as an undergraduate, Lim found that she was interested in human nutrition and disease research. Once she obtained her master’s degree, she explored clinical nutrition while working as a dietitian at a hospital. Lim chose to pursue her doctorate in nutritional epidemiology. She said she was drawn to this career path after realizing her interests lie in studying chronic diseases in the human population and their relation to multiple risk factors, which include nutrition, lifestyle and genetic susceptibility. Lim found it important to focus her studies on this subject because cancer is becoming more prevalent in Hawai‘i’s population. She pursued postdoctoral training at the National Cancer Institute.

Gore galore: ‘Uncle Vanya and Zombies’
W
Stoker, who has written a zombie novel herself, also shared her thoughts on why zombies are currently so popular. “It’s kind of a desire to return to an agrarian existence where all you have to do is survive and produce your own food and fire,” said Stoker. “Also, partially, [people] want to kill their neighbor,” she continued. “When it’s a bad economy, people go to this fantasyland place where g tthey can kill their neighbors.” On a less philosophical note, sshe observed, “ They love makeup and gore.” u “I hope everyone really loves … ‘Uncle Vanya and Zombies ... IIt’s going to be epic. It’s really gory and gross and fun. Even g tthough it’s after Halloween a little bit, it’s a way to extend Halloween b a little longer.” eb

“I want them to go ‘ewwww,’” said Stoker when asked how she hopes the audience will respond to her creations. But getting there takes more steps than the audience might think. “[The body parts] come raw, just totally white, and they usually have the seams still on them,” them, said Stoker. She has to trim and shave these seams before she can even begin painting and adding gore. “I paint them flesh, and then I paint the cut portions bloody, and then I attach gore to the cut sections,” Stoker explained. “I usually add latex, and then I rip the latex a little bit so it looks more realistic.” While she’s hoping her designs are gross enough for the audience’s taste, Stoker also wants them to find humor in her work.

“I think they [the audience] will know it’s an illusion – you can’t replicate actual human fl esh fl ying through the air – but you can get pretty close,” she said. “So they’ll probably say ‘eww’ fi rst and then giggle.”

Halloween may have passed, but that’s not stopping Kennedy Theatre from extending the zombie fun with mash-up play “Uncle Vanya and Zombies” – and it wouldn’t be a true horror show without gory props. “You’ve gotta have some intestine,” joked zombie prop designer Storm Stoker as she laid out foam and rubber body parts in various stages of completion on Kennedy Theatre’s scene shop painting table. Director Markus Wessendorf has re-imagined Anton Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya” in the context of a zombie-ridden O‘ahu. As audiences step into Kennedy Theatre, they will find find themselves on the set of reality TV series “Theatre Masterpieces and Zombies.”
The job for the show’s actors is to survive their performance while the host releases zombies on stage. But the real-life job for Stoker, who earned her MFA in set design from the University of Hawai‘i at Mā noa in 2002, was to create all the bloody body parts that will be thrown, worn or snacked on during the production.

Warriors return home against familiar foe JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor This week, the Hawai‘i foottball team (1-7, 0-5 Mountain West)) will enjoy playing in Aloha Stadiium for the fi rst time after nearlyy a month of road games. However, r, its opponent, Boise State (7-2, 4-11 MWC), will look to make itself at home like it has in the past. The Broncos hold a 9-3 seriess record and have dominated in reecent years: UH has won just oncee in the teams’ past 10 matchups. “They’ve won most of the past st meetings between Hawai‘i and Boiise,” said senior defensive end Paipai ai Falemalu. “It’ll be good to get a win n against them, especially [since]] this’ll be my last season.” BSU has won its past threee games against UH in dominating g fashion, with the average score beeing 41-8. The odds of another such h outcome are high, considering that at Hawai‘i has lost all seven gamess against FBS opponents double digitss and by an average final of 48-15. “We’re just gonna line them up p [and] hit them in the mouth [on] first st and second down,” said sophomoree running back Joey Iosefa. “Last week k is done. Nothing we can do about it. t. So we just move on for this week.”
ʻ T H E Y C A N B E B E AT ʼ The key for a Warrior upset et will be shutting down Boise State’ss rushing attack. Senior running g back D.J. Harper has eclipsed 100 0 yards in four games this year and d freshman Jay Ajayi is averaging 7.00 yards per carry.
More importantly, importantly stopping the BSU ground game would wo ould force the Broncos to have to tur turn rn to quarterback Joe Southwick fo for or points. The junior has throw thrown wn for more than 200 yards just j three times this season, seaso on, which is one less than thaan Warrior quarterback k Sean Schroeder. “We know that we w can get these boys,” boys,,” said junior corner-back Mike Edwards. “They’re Boise State. They’re a tough team, but they can be beat also. We just want to go out there, executee and play our game.” Seeing how Schroe Schroeder eder and the offense will match m up with the country’s sixth-best s pass defense (159.1 yards aly lowed per game), Edwards’ Edw wards’ defense will likely need to keep the score low for UH to t have a shot at stopping BSU’s streak. “All I know is that th hat coach Norm Chow’s here now. I’m n here now. And let’s get g a new tradition started.” Folloow us on Follow o Twitter @ka aleospports for up@kaleosports to-th minuute updates to-thee minute live from f H Halawa.

H A R D WO R K PAYS O F F Sai’s values stem from his lo cal upbringing. “I was originally raised in Kuliou‘ou. Then when I was eight years old, we moved to Kahalu‘u, and I have been there ever since,” said Sai. During high school, Sai attended Saint Louis High School – where he started his career in football. It was also during this time he would find his way to the University of Utah. “A fter my freshman year in high school, going into summer of sophomore year, we went to some football camps at Utah and over in Washington. I went to get
N O B O U N DA R I E S Football has been known to ser ve as a surrogate family for players, and for Sai, this held true wherever he went. “At Utah, our coaches up there always fought for us to have a family mentality,” Sai said. “One thing we prided ourselves on is the diversity we had on our team. We had one-third white, one-third black and one-third Polynesian – yet we weren’t divided up into those different categories. We were able to mingle with everybody: No matter who you were, you were always together. “One thing I liked about coming back here, I saw that back here; we have people from all over the world – Australia, New Zealand, Georgia and a lot of people from Hawai‘i. A nother thing we have is a melding of the local culture with the international personalities that come into the team.”
ʻWE GOT EACH OTHERʼ This year he returned to Hawai‘i for personal reasons, but he continues to play for the Warriors. Sai was motivated to play for Hawai‘i due to new head coach Norm Chow. “I have a histor y with coach Chow – him being our offensive
coordinator at the University of Utah,” Sai said. Still, Sai had another reason to play: His younger brother K iha Sai is also a lineman for the Warriors. “[There is] not so much rivalr y, but me and my brother will critique each other, tell each other what we are doing wrong and get on each other’s case – but in the spirit of brotherly love,” Sai said. “ We will sometimes argue about certain things, but we are always on the same side. “It’s a nice feeling to have a family member with you through the grind of going through camp and playing football. While I was in up in Utah, I didn’t really have [that]. [I] had to try and find friends on my own and just make the grind. Now that I’m home with my brother, we stick it out, knowing we got each other’s back.”

Honolulu-born offensive lineman Kapua Sai is the embodiment of a family man. He is a responsible son who, after receiving his degree in sociology from University of Utah, re turned to Hawai‘i to support his family and decided to join the Warrior football ‘ohana. “ There were some family issues that started coming up this past spring semester that had me think about coming home since I was close to finishing my degree,” Sai said. “I had a long talk with my parents after spring ball, and I had to come to a decision whether I was going to come home to my family obligations. A fter they mentioned a few vital things that happened, it was a no brainer: I had to come home for my family. “ That was my main reason for coming home, for family. You know in our local culture, family is number one; we have to stay true to what we need to do.”
experience, but the first place I went to was the University of Utah,” said Sai. “I worked my butt off and always tried to work hard, just keeping my head down and working hard, and the coaches no ticed that and I ended up getting a verbal offer from the university at that time. It stuck with me all the way through high school and [I] ended up at University of Utah after I graduated.”

Honolulu-born offensive lineman Kapua Sai is the embodiment of a family man. He is a responsible son who, after receiving his degree in sociology from University of Utah, re turned to Hawai‘i to support his family and decided to join the Warrior football ‘ohana. “ There were some family issues that started coming up this past spring semester that had me think about coming home since I was close to finishing my degree,” Sai said. “I had a long talk with my parents after spring ball, and I had to come to a decision whether I was going to come home to my family obligations. A fter they mentioned a few vital things that happened, it was a no brainer: I had to come home for my family. “ That was my main reason for coming home, for family. You know in our local culture, family is number one; we have to stay true to what we need to do.”
experience, but the first place I went to was the University of Utah,” said Sai. “I worked my butt off and always tried to work hard, just keeping my head down and working hard, and the coaches no ticed that and I ended up getting a verbal offer from the university at that time. It stuck with me all the way through high school and [I] ended up at University of Utah after I graduated.”

The Warrior football defense currently ranks fourth in the Mountain West giving up 419.5 yard per game.
The agony of defeat JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor It is no secret that the University of Hawai‘i football team’s season has not lived up to expectations. This week, UH will face off against a squad enduring similar disappointment – albeit in a much different way. The Warriors (1-7, 0-5 Mountain West) are currently riding a six-game losing streak and are projected to finish as the worst UH football team since the winless 1998 season. “[Our frustration is] pretty high,” said senior defensive end Paipai Falemalu. “I hate losing more than I love winning.”
C H A M P I O N S AT S TA K E In the other locker room, Boise State (7-2, 4-1 MWC) may have a record that UH fans would take in a heartbeat. However, the Broncos are also coming to terms with disappointment this year. Boise State was predicted to run away with the conference title in its last season of Mountain West play. The Broncos were also expected to
potentially finish the season undefeated and earn a spot in a BCS bowl game like they did in 2006 and 2008. Unfortunately for the Bronco faithful, an early loss to Michigan State (5-5, 2-4 Big Ten) derailed Boise State’s BCS bowl hopes in the first game of the season. The Broncos responded by embarking on a seven-game winning streak and appeared to be cruising to the MWC crown. However, even that is in jeopardy since they fell to San Diego State 21-19 last week. The loss also knocked the Broncos out of the top 25 in the BCS standings. “Emotion’s a big thing every week,” Falemalu said. “This is a very emotional game. We just gotta come out there and play. Of course they’re gonna be ticked off. They lost to San Diego State in a close game. We just gotta feed off of that and try to play our game.” This leaves the race for the Mountain West title open to nearly half the conference, as BSU, SDSU, Fresno State and Air Force all have just one conference loss. “As a competitor and a football
player, you want that kind of competitive edge going into a football game,” said junior cornerback Mike Edwards. “They lost a game that they probably shouldn’t have lost, and it was close, but these boys are gonna come here and play hard this week.”
ʻ WE C AN B E AT T H E S E BOYSʼ
BSU’s struggles still cannot compare to UH’s. The Broncos have the country’s eighth-best defense (14.4 points allowed per game), a two-time Paul “Bear” Bryant Award-winning coach and wins over BYU (5-4) and Fresno State (7-3, 5-1 MWC). Meanwhile, the Warriors have the nation’s second-worst defense (42.6 ppg), a first-year head coach implementing a new system and only one win against a mediocre FCS opponent, Lamar (3-7, 0-5 Southland). However, UH can still salvage some of the season by making a disappointing year for BSU even worse. “We just want to have the mindset that it’s gonna be a tough football game, but we also want to have the mindset that we can beat these boys,” said Edwards.

THOMPSON H ARUN Contributing Writer
Everybody fails at some point in life, but our attitudes towards failure are pessimistic, and we deny the important aspects of it that bring success. Failure is relevant to our lives and we all experience and often hate it. But in order to improve ourselves, we need to change the way we experience failure. I was sitting down at my computer one night, feeling like a man who just lost his job, knowing that in reality that I had only failed an exam. The song “Little by Little” by Oasis was playing, and fragments of the lyrics caught my attention: “True perfection has to be imperfect. ... I know that sounds foolish, but it’s true.” Striving for perfection is the cause of misery. We all want to do our best in life, but failure is inevitable on the way to success. A study by psychologist Mark Leary from Wake Forest University found that a heightened sense of “self-compassion” can
lead to a more relaxed mentality towards failure. Leary’s study predicts that replacing your mentality as an overachiever with an understanding that “everyone messes up now and then” could help overcome stress. Building a sense of self-compassion is simple: You should learn to forgive yourself for failure and understand that we’ve all experienced it. Failure is not always caused by human error. You’ve tried your best in something, but even the most anticipated and calculated success can fail. But Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said it best: “It’s fi ne to celebrate success, but it’s more important to heed the lessons of failure.” Gates’ philosophy tells us that even in the moment of success, we should look back at our failures and learn from them, so that we can continue grow. We should set aside the grief from failing and understand that the experience is part of life. Failure should be valued as a lesson to improve.
