The APEC 2011 Leaders’ Meeting will be held from Nov. 12-13 in Hawai‘i. Leaders from 21 member nations will gather here to discuss economic issues that concern the region.

EMI A IKO Contributing Writer Why is it important to bring government leaders to town for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation? A group of University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students have launched “APEC 101,” a blog to answer this and other common questions about APEC. The blog was named to describe the simplicity of its content, which reaches out to APEC beginners with no background knowledge about the upcoming forum, which is designed to capitalize on the growing interdependence of Asia-Pacific economies.

“The blog is light, readable

material that is easy, simple and short, with pictures and videos so that it is not too dry,” said Ashley Aitken, the senior economics major who came up with the blog’s name. “Anyone can have a quick glimpse of what will be happening in November, and this blog will be an introduction.”

Aitken is currently an intern in the lieutenant governor’s offi ce. The students involved in “APEC 101” also intern with organizations that work with APEC. Denise Eby Konan, economics professor and chair, created an internship program to increase student involvement in APEC. This event, the first APEC summit to be held in the United UH SPECIAL AL Drink ink Free Fries & Dr purcha chase se with burgerr pur purchase with ad or UH I.D.

States since 1993, will be the largest international event in the state’s history.

“There are quite a lot of opportunities that APEC meetings will bring, and different kinds of talents are needed. One thing we’ve been doing in context of APEC has been researching all of our Hawai‘i connections to the APEC economies,” said Konan.

“Students are getting awareness of these substantial and impressive aspects of APEC. They are learning some life skills that are hard to teach in the classrooms.”

Senior Nicole Cacal, who is majoring in fi nance and international business with a minor in economics, is currently an intern

for the Economic Research Organization at UH, known as UHERO, which informs public and private-sector decision making through economic research. “It is great being an intern to work in global initiative, doing any little things I can to be part of this because it may not happen in Hawai‘i again in my lifetime,” she said. “I wouldn’t have had the same grasp that I have on APEC without this internship. Hopefully, we will bring more business and more recognition to the state.”

Cacal, who is responsible for the organization of the blog, said, “I thought people would be interested See APEC blog, next page

AUG. 30: MISSING SOMETHING? A wallet was reported stolen at Spalding Hall at 1:37 p.m.

The wallet was stolen between 10:20 a.m. and 11 a.m.

AU G. 29: H I T A N D RU N A minor motor vehicle collision was reported in the Zone 20 (lower campus) parking structure at 12:15 p.m. The incident occurred at 8:35 a.m. Both of the vehicles belonged to students. No additional vehicle details were available, and the case was referred to the Honolulu Police Department.

The blog dates back to the spring semester of 2011, where students in the A PEC economies research class developed the briefing materials for A PEC countries, short discussions of issues in each participating economy. These materials were shared on the UHERO website, which caught the attention of nonprofit entities such as the 2011 Hawai‘i A PEC Host Committee. Now, the briefing materials developed by the students have become the training kit for all A PEC volunteers.

“We at the university are the ones taking a lead on the key issues of A PEC, and we put that to the students to be developing and researching this. This is

helping us to hold together our experts in the topic, and we are really counting on the students to be leading that effort for the whole state,” said Konan, who is also a senior advisor on A PEC for UH President M.R.C. Greenwood. “As it’s turning out, we are a source of knowledge for Hawai‘i’s community.”

Finance student Gary Alcazaren believes that ventures such as his webbsite, lastone4theday.com, can benefit bbooth t use sers rs and loc ocal al bus usin ines in esse es sess. se s.

UH finance major steps into business world by launching novel website DAVID TER AOK A Staff Writer

Gary “Kaiâ€? Alcazaren is a 24-year-old ďŹ nance major in his senior year at the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa’s Shidler College of Business. But his focus was not always business – he was originally a pre-med student because he wanted to help people.

Although he found that medicine “wasn’t my calling ... it showed me indirectly what I want to do with my life.� He realized he always enjoyed making things “work.�

He returned to his original goal of helping people, but as an entrepreneur. “People have this image in their head that business is very cutthroat, lucrative ... at the expense of someone else, but that isn’t always the case,� he said.

Although he was still in school, he decided to dive right into the business world. He launched a website, lastone4the-

day.com, which works with local businesses to give away prizes such as Red Bull, food, or even surďŹ ng lessons.

The website’s premise is simple. “You log onto the website, lastone4theday.com, then you leave a comment about a product we have ... and if you’re the last one [to comment] for the day, you win,� said Alcazaren.

He plans to expand the number of deals offered on the site by increasing trafďŹ c. He believes that the possibility of combining deals would be limitless. “Right before lunch, you can have burgers, after that two free surďŹ ng lessons, and right after that maybe two entrance tickets to a club,â€? he said.

So what sets lastone4theday. com apart from other social commerce websites? “Most social websites offer 50 percent off, and whatever remains, you [businesses] split it with the site and merchant, and so you lose money,� Alcazaren said.

He also pointed out that websites like Groupon or Daily Deals are often used by customers who are already regulars, so local businesses do not see a signiďŹ cant increase in trafďŹ c. “So, that’s

what we hope to change. We don’t charge them anything, and we all work for the same goal, which is to get more trafďŹ c,â€? Alcazaren said.

Alcazaren grew up traveling, and although he moved from California to Hawai‘i four years ago, he has a hard time deciding where he calls home. “At what place do you choose where you’re really from?� he said, laughing. “Most people instantly can say, ‘I’m from here,’ but I’ve had equal number of years in each place I lived in ... it’s one of my problems. “This is my way to be part of the community,� he said. “To promote the local economy and just keep it alive.�

Other students can start projects as well. As a student entrepreneur, Alcazaren strongly advises that other students learn how to use time wisely. He ďŹ nds time between classes and homework to work by staying away from todo lists – instead, he simply “does it.â€? He also advises that students work to ďŹ nd their calling. “Figure out what you’re good at, because you don’t have all the time in the world,â€? Alcazaren said. “Make your days count.â€?

New duo Shark vs. Squid making a splash NICK WEBSTER Special Issues Editor On the night of July 28, a musical duo comprised of two former University of Hawai‘i MÄ noa students made its debut at Nextdoor. It was no average first performance. The electro -rock duo Shark vs. Squid, opened for New York hip -hop group Das Racist in front of over 200 attendees.

The “Sharkâ€? of the duo is vocalist and guitarist Justin Nicholson (stage name Justin James), originally of Denver, Colo., and a 2010 UH MÄ noa graduate. “Squidâ€? is vocalist, keyboardist and live audio engineer Steven Lynch (stage name Lock), a 2006 graduate of Moanalua High School and former UH MÄ noa music student.

Thanks to both members’ reputations in the local music scene and a solid opening at Nextdoor, the band is picking up fans and shows at a rapid pace, including a show at Mercury Bar this Saturday. The guys sat down earlier this week to talk about their new collaboration.

Q: Can you describe your musical background?

Justin – I’ve been in bands since I was 13. I experienced touring, got addicted, and joined my next band speciďŹ cally to go on tour. I joined a grindcore band that toured half the country. Then I moved to Hawai‘i and joined the band Ctrl Alt Delete.

I’d say we were the ďŹ rst to bring the electro-rock sound to the islands.

Lock – I did everything in high school; I was in every type of band.

I was always involved in rock music as well, but had a very classical background. I originally went to UH to study music composition, but then I got into the electronic music scene and dropped out for a while. Eventually, I’m going to try to go back to UHM and get an EE degree, and UH West O‘ahu is supposed to start a bachelor’s program in Audio Engineer-

Electro-rock artists Justin Nicholson and Steven Lynch debuted their musical group Shark vs. Squid on July 28. Both are former UH MÄ noa students. ing, so I’m hoping to do that as well.

Q: What made you start playing music?

Justin – Jimi Hendrix made me want to play guitar. My dad had this live Woodstock album and I heard him play the national anthem and wanted to ďŹ gure out how he did it.

I started listening to guitar players from bands like Metallica a lot, too.

Lock – The ďŹ rst band I ever remember listening to was Jimmie’s Chicken Shack. I ended up getting into Rage Against the Machine and other bands that had things to say.

Q: How did the band form?

Justin – I knew Lock, he’s an awesome recording engineer. We both had very similar musical aspirations. He’s really good at rhythm, and I’m really good at melody, so we really ďŹ t. We realized that and have been making music since.

Q: I have to ask, how’d you come up with the name?

Lock – [Pointing at the shark and squid hanging from the ceiling] Sitting here!

Justin – I got kind of pushed into the Das Racist show. We weren’t really ready. We didn’t have a name, and the promoter called me and said he was printing the yer, and needed a name. I was sitting in this room and I looked up and said, ‘Squid vs.

Shark.’ Then we found another band

was called Squid vs. Shark, and we changed it to Shark vs. Squid.

Q: How would you describe your style?

Lock – Indie-Electro Dance-Rock is what I’ve been telling everyone.

Justin – As a musician, it’s hard for me to deďŹ ne what kind of music we play. I can’t put a label on it.

Q: Last question - if you could share the stage with one band, who would it be?

Justin – I would deďŹ nitely take the cast that sang “We are the World.â€? It was back in the 80s. I’d love to play a show with all those douchebags. Just kidding, but I’d love to open for R ATATAT. Lock – Hands down, it would be really cool to open for Does It Offend You, Yeah? I’ve talked to their keyboardist, and he said if they ever go on an Asia tour, they’d totally stop here and play with us.

S H OW I N F O R M AT I O N :

When: Saturday, Sept. 4. Doors open at 9:30 p.m., Shark vs. Squid takes the stage at 12:15 a.m.

Thriving on the road less traveled

HARRY FISHER/ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL/MCT

A registered dietician prepares equipment to test a patient’s metabolic and pulmonary health. Dietary health is a rapidly expanding field of medicine.

A NALIESE DANNER Contributing Writer

When you imagine a career in health, the professions that most commonly come to mind are doctor, nurse and maybe a veterinarian. Sound familiar? It may seem as if there are only a couple of routes to choose from when starting a career in the health field. The truth is, in a society that is becoming increasingly conscious about health, wellness and fitness, there are a myriad of career opportunities.

America’s focus on health is due to a combination of healthcare reform, a rise in the occurrence of disease, and a growing

obesity epidemic. However, an increasing number of medical researchers and professionals are emphasizing the need for a shift from traditional medicine – which aims to treat or cure already present symptoms – to a preventative care method, where measures are taken to prevent disease from developing in the first place by recognizing the early signs of ill health.

This greater focus on health calls for our generation to create new jobs in the health industry by combining traditional techniques with newly developed ones. While they are admirable and promising careers, the med-school or nursing-school

route may not be the appropriate choice for responding to our communities’ needs.

So where does that lead you?

Do some research on up-andcoming job opportunities in the health field, and don’t overlook something just because it looks unfamiliar. Some of today’s fastest-growing careers are ones you may have never heard of and could easily dismiss, such as a biogerontology. Biogerontologists are scientists who study what happens to the body as it ages, conducting vital research to aid medical professionals in preventative care.

Another option is becoming a dietician, a registered professional who focuses on the impact that food has on health, disease and aging. If the authority of a doctoral title appeals to you, research naturopathic doctors, who focus on overall wellness using natural, non-invasive remedies.

According to the World Health Organization, these careers are just a few of many that are expanding rapidly in the health industry.

Take some time to research health careers that are off the beaten path, and choose the road less traveled. Apply at a local health food store to obtain firsthand information on foods and nutrition, and network with coworkers who may have more experience in your field.

If you don’t have time for a job, conduct your own basic research by asking your friends and classmates how they feel about their health and what they think could be done to promote a thriving community.

With the uncertain prospects of today’s economy and the shortage of job opportunities available to new college graduates, it is imperative that we use our heads and our skills to create jobs that we believe will benefit our society.

This Fall the Ka Leo oďŹƒce will be taking used ticket stubs to sign up students for the Punt, Pass & Kick event.

We will also have sign ups at our Ka Leo table at the stadium, for those of you using your UH I.D. to enter games.

Sign up starts 9/3/11 at the UH vs. Colorado game, or bring your used ticket stub to our office at Hemenway Hall.

Warriors want repeat JOE F ERRER Associate Sports Editor After 33 years, the University of Hawai‘i football team is headed into its fi nal season in the Western Athletic Conference.

Fresh off a share of the conference championship last year, the Warriors are picked as preseason favorites to repeat as WAC champs before migrating to the Mountain West Conference in 2012.

The ‘Bows have raised their goals to lofty heights this season.

“If we stay healthy, and are able to win when times get tough,” said offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich, “I think we have the ability to win every game, if we really play great.”

With the departure of rival Boise State to the MWC, Hawai‘i is left with no preseason ranked opponents, making the idea of another undefeated season seem not so crazy.

RU N N I N G T H E O F F E N S E In order for the Warriors to go undefeated, they will have to rely heavily on the right arm of senior quarterback Bryant Moniz.

The Wahiawā native led the nation in passing last season with 360 yards per game, total offense with 367.3 yards per game and passing touchdowns, with 39.

“Mighty Mo” has been named to the watch lists for the Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Davey O’Brien Award, and Manning Award, as well as being named to HeismanPundit. com’s Watch List.

Two of Moniz’s top receivers from last year, Greg Salas and Kealoha Pilares, are now playing on Sundays in the National Football League, but his timing with their

replacements shouldn’t suffer.

Junior Miah Ostrowski and sophomore Billy Ray Stutzmann take over as the slot receivers this year, and Moniz has built a rapport with them since day one.

“Mo [Moniz] got his start quicker than those two, but they were all here kind of at the same time,” said Rolovich. “They kind of grew up together. He feels good about those guys. I think he knows their body language, he knows what they like and that’s defi nitely a benefit.”

Ostrowski, Stutzmann and the rest of the receivers had some heated battles in camp with the Warriors’ secondary this summer, led by senior captain Richard Torres.

ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE Junior college transfer Mike Edwards gained the respect of his teammates through his play at cornerback during camp.

“He had a pretty decent spring, but he made a huge jump from spring ball to fall camp,” said Torres. “He really put himself in position to be a starter, and now he is a starting corner.”

Since last spring, Torres has been working on his communication between his teammates on defense.

“We’re getting better at it,” said Torres. “It was kind of hard in the beginning, but now we’re starting to get a feel for one another.”

Building team unity was paramount this offseason for the Warriors on both sides of the ball.

“With so much loss as far as seniors, it was really a focus to build team chemistry,” said Rolovich. “The personal relationships, the bonds, because I really believe that’s what puts the offense at another level.”

Back in the spotlight JOE F ERRER Associate Sports Editor The Warriors will kick off their 2011 campaign in the national spotlight against new Pac12 member Colorado tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. at Aloha Stadium.

In its fi rst of three nationally televised games on the ESPN family of networks this year, the University of Hawai‘i will seek revenge against a team that got the better of it last season.

“We got a little sour taste in our mouth from last year,” said senior safety Richard Torres.

“That one really hurt us because we were on fi re – the way we ended the game just wasn’t us.”

After a 10-0 Hawai‘i lead at halftime, the Buffaloes came storming back in the second half,

all three nationally televised games to USC, Boise State, and Tulsa by a combined score of 153 -78.

The Warriors can’t explain their letdowns in the spotlight last year, but they aren’t nervous about the attention.

“It ’s just another game,” said of fensive coordinator Nick Rolovich. “If we are worried about T V cameras, I think our focus is wrong.”

THE OPPONENT

BRIAN TSENG/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Senior quarterback Bryant Moniz led the nation in passing last season. Moniz and the Warriors will kick off the 2011 season tomorrow against Colorado. fi nishing the game 31-13.

“It was really disappointing,” said Torres. “It stung a little bit, so we kind of want to sting them back.”

T H E N AT I O N A L S P O T L I G H T Recently, the Warriors haven’t shown up on national television. Last year they lost

Colorado comes into Aloha Stadium having dropped its last 17 away games. The last game the Buffaloes won on the road was a 31-26 victory over Texas Tech in October 2007. The Buffaloes are not only transitioning into a new conference this year, but they also begin the Jon Embree era on Saturday.

Embree returns to his alma mater as the head coach of a team

that went 5 -7 last year and hasn’t won a bowl game since 2004.

The Buffaloes will use the services of senior running back Rodney Stewart to control the clock and keep Hawai‘i’s prolific offense off the field. Stewart ran for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, two of which were against the Warriors.

“We’re going to throw the first punch,” said Embree in a story by the Denver Post. “Throwing the first punch means offensively you line up and you run the ball down their throat.”

With linebacker Aaron Brown suspended for the game, the Warriors will lean on sophomore George Daily-Lyles to step up and fill the running lanes. “ The first thing we’re going to have to do is to stop their run and control the line of scrimmage,” said Torres. “It’s going to really be a big game for our front four and our linebackers.”
