Former colonel speaks on human rights activism K ELSEY A MOS News Editor Ann Wright, a former U.S. Army Colonel who was in the military for 29 years before becoming a human rights activist, spoke about her work to an audience of five in the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center last Tuesday.

Wright resigned from her post in 2003 in opposition to the war in Iraq.

She has been involved with prominent protests such as the American “Boat to Gaza,” as well as opposing lesser-known issues such as the proposed construction of a military base on Jeju Island, an island off the coast of South Korea.

Wright began her talk by discussing how the U.S. government puts together reports on human rights violations in other countries, but does not report on itself. “I think that’s totally important, that our government also be held accountable for any type of human rights [violations], just like any other place,” she said.

Possible U.S. human rights violations she cited included treatment at Guantanamo Bay detention camp

and Abu Ghraib prison, and “starting wars which I believe were a choice, not a necessity – and that’s coming from someone who spent all of her adult life working for the U.S. government.”

Wright expressed concern regarding the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System. Though the Aegis system is supposed to be for defense against ballistic missiles, Wright sees things differently.

“It’s a part of the ... system that the U.S. has for having missiles all over the world. On the one hand, you can say it’s a good defense system.

To a lot of the people of the world ... it’s an offense system. It’s used by the United States to intimidate other countries, and it’s a very destabilizing system because, to other countries, for example North Korea, China, Iran, it is the U.S. challenge to them,” said Wright.

It also leads to militarization in other parts of the world. Wright spoke about Jeju Island, a tropical island 200 miles from the coast of South Korea that is designated a United Nations world heritage site.

plans to build a naval base there that will house ships as a part of the Aegis missile system. Many of the residents of the island are protesting the military incursion.

“I went there ... to say to them that I feel that my government isn’t being even-handed on this thing. ... [We’re] trying to get other countries to build bases where we ourselves are saying we’re trying to reduce our military footprint, but on the other hand we are creating the systems that demand that we have bases that are closer to the mainland of China,” she said.

Bringing the discussion closer to home, Wright said, “We have Hawai‘i as a key link in this missile defense system.” Others, like activist Koohan Paik of Kaua‘i also see this connection.

In an article published in The Garden Island last Sunday, Paik pointed out that the product testing for Aegis missiles takes place at the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kaua‘i.

Wright also spent time discussing her role in protesting the treatment of Palestinians in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian confl ict.

She said she recognizes that Palestinians have used violence against Israel and killed a number of Israelis. “But the disproportionate use of force by the Israeli government, killing 1,440 people in 22 days, was unbelievable,” she said.

In reaction, Wright has taken part in numerous protests, including the Gaza Freedom March in December 2009, where 1,300 people from 55 countries were stopped in Cairo in their attempt to get into Gaza. “We were able to, I think, be a precursor to the Arab spring,” she said.

Wright has also worked to break the naval blockade of Gaza that has lasted for 43 years. Last year, she was on one of the six ships that tried to break the blockade and were violently boarded, causing the deaths of nine people.

This year, Wright’s goal was to get more Americans involved. “What the Israelis are doing to Palestinians, the U.S. is complicit in. It’s our equipment, it’s our money. ... We give the Israelis $3 billion a year just in miliSee Foreign relations, page 4

TAYLOR MORRIS Staff Writer Ten years after the tragedy of the Sept. 11 attacks, ground zero will be commemorated to those who lost their lives that day.

The National September 11 Memorial and Museum at ground zero will be dedicated on Sunday during a ceremony for the victims’ families.

The memorial will honor those who were killed as a result of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as well as the victims of the Feb. 26, 1993 attack.

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 in 2001 took the lives of 2,977 victims.

The bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 killed six.

There was a memorial for these six victims inside the World Trade Center, but it too was destroyed in 2001. One piece of the memorial was saved, and it will be included in the new memorial.

According to the memorial website, the memorial will include two waterfalls with reecting pools located where the Twin Towers used to stand. All the victims’ names will be inscribed along the pools so their family and friends can honor them personally.

The memorial will also include a museum that will open in 2012.

The entrance to the museum will include columns from the North Tower. The Survivor Tree, which was found in the debris after the attack, nursed back to health and replanted, will also be featured.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Barack Obama are scheduled to speak at the ceremony.

But the invitation list and the agenda for the ceremony have

led to some controversy.

This ceremony is the ďŹ rst after 9/11 to which ďŹ rst responders, such as police ofďŹ cers, ďŹ reďŹ ghters and emergency medical technicians, are not invited. As a result of this, Boston ďŹ reďŹ ghter Jack Dewan initiated a petition to allow ďŹ rst responders to go to the ceremony in honor of his uncle, a ďŹ reďŹ ghter who lost his life responding to the attacks.

Jack Dewan’s petition on Change.org states that “Despite the lack of invitation, ďŹ rst responders still showed up 10 years ago and saved thousands of lives, risked their own – many sacriďŹ cing their own – and spent countless hours searching debris with the desperate hope that they would retrieve one more survivor.â€?

Bloomberg and 9/11 Memorial President and CEO Joseph Daniels are the targets of this petition, which over 2,879 people have signed.

In response, Bloomberg’s spokesperson stated, “While we are again focused on accommodating victims’ family members, given the space constraints, we’re working to ďŹ nd ways to recognize and honor ďŹ rst responders, and other groups, at different places and times.â€?

The absence of religious elements in the ceremony is angering many Christian groups as well. The Rev. Jim Wallis is leading a group in protest over the exclusion of clergy members at the ceremony. They are holding a press conference near ground zero today to express why they believe religion should be included.

As an alternative, conservative activist Pam Geller, who also opposed the construction of an Islamic community center near ground zero, is holding an unofďŹ cial ceremony on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.

Since the attacks on Sept. 11 10 years ago, the federal government’s role has shifted toward collecting information and acting pre-emptively. Agencies such as the FBI, the CI A and the FA A are now expected to stop terrorism before it happens, but not everyone agrees with the methods that these organizations employ. “I don’t believe there has to be a trade-off between security and privacy,� associate professor Brien Hallett explained.

Hallet has been an instructor for the Spark M. Matsunaga

President Obama, allows government agencies to wiretap without a judge’s consent and detain suspected terrorists indeďŹ nitely. In some circumstances, it requires phone, Internet and cable companies to disclose customer information involuntarily.

Hallett also stated that advances in technology have further accelerated privacy loss. “With the Internet, there are all these different ways of learning about people. And with Facebook, people willingly expose themselves online.� According to an official statistic from the Facebook website, there are more than 750 million active users, who in total use the web-

Institute for Peace and Conf lict Resolution at the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa since 1995.

He currently teaches a series on peace and conf lict resolution. Each summer, Hallet takes his students to Hiroshima to lecture about the policies that led to the bombings. A lthough he does not study A merican politics directly, his work does deal with examining world issues to find solutions that avoid conf lict and violence. “On the legal side, there’s been a loss of privacy with the FBI. They have much greater access to information than they had before, but we need to be expanding protections for individuals instead of reducing them, like with the Patriot Act,� said Hallet. About a month and a half after 9/11, President George W. Bush signed the act, an abbreviation for “Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism,� into law.

The act, which is still in effect and has been renewed by

site for 700 billion minutes per month. “People just have much greater access to information now,� Hallet added.

Not everyone opposes the loss of privacy, however. “I think the issue depends on what freedoms are being taken away and the severity of the consequences,� said Brandon Emer y, a freshman studying marine biology. “I think we can justify such intrusions as a small price to pay in order to prevent tragedies such as 9/11. For example, I feel that the security in airports is fine because they are protecting us and making sure that something doesn’t happen again.�

But Hallett said he believes that there is a better approach to safety. “Norway responded to the attacks in Oslo by vowing to create more democracy. President Bush was much more fearful, and believed that there had to be a trade-off between liberty and security, but there’s no real contradiction between personal freedom and security.�

The U.S. ship to Gaza, “which

we named ‘The Audacity of Hope’ right in the Obama administration’s face,” according to Wright, was prevented from leaving port by the Greek government.

“The Israeli government had a strong diplomatic offensive and demanded that Mediterranean

countries don’t let the ships leave,” Wright explained.

With nine boats left, Wright and the other activists are planning a third attempt. “We will keep boats challenging the naval blockade of Gaza ... until the blockade ends,” she said.

In response to questions about 9/11, Wright said, “There really was a reason why these guys got in those airplanes. ... A lot of it has to do with U.S. policies in the Middle East ... and the U.S.

protection of Israel on everything dealing with Palestinians.”

Wright acknowledged the difficulty many Americans might have in accepting her criticisms.

“It’s hard for any national group to think that their nation is less than the best they could be,” she said.

“But really, when you look at it from the perspective of other people in the world, the United States has invaded and occupied countries ... the U.S. is not beloved.”

Wright compared the effects of 9/11 on Muslims in America to the effects of World War II on Asian Americans. “All of these things [done in response to 9/11] have not made us safer,” she said.

She pointed out that America is very diffi cult to invade, but that the fear of attack resulting from 9/11 has been used to justify preemptive strikes. “The U.S. is still on a path that will create more people that hate us,” she said.

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students (left to right) Travis Nomura, Jamie Poliahu, Marie Luasaki and Remington Taum have had the opportunity to hone their skills on the Hawai‘i Five-0 set.

M ARIA K ANAI Associate Features Editor Last year on Sept. 20, Hawai‘i Five-0 premiered on CBS as a modern remake of the popular crime drama featuring Detective Steve McGarett and his special state task force Five-0. Boasting a 12-season run, the 1968 show stands as one of the longest-running dramas in American television history.

Despite the pressure of meeting such a prestigious standard, the 2010 remake has been highly successful, taking home the People’s Choice Award as “Favorite New TV Drama” in January 2011. For students

at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Hawai‘i Five-0 has been an opportunity to get real experience working on a fi lm set.

Travis Nomura, a senior studying communication in digital media, applied for an internship through COM 495 last semester and was able to work on set as a camera production assistant. His jobs included “setting up the video village, which is where the director, assistant director, script supervisor and writer watch what is being fi lmed, making sure the correct camera is on the right monitor and running the cables to the cameras.”

He enjoyed his time on set, especially as he was a fan of the show even before the

internship. His favorite part was interacting with the crew and learning about the show’s production.

“I never realized that they had to fi lm for hours just for a couple minutes on TV,” Nomura said. “It was really exciting to see the fi rst episode I worked on air.”

Jamie Poliahu and Marie on Iwasaki, both seniors in the Academy of Creative Media, currently intern as camera PAs for the upcoming second season.

Iwasaki believes the internship allowed her to “learn much more than [she could in] a regular class” and hopes the show will increase the tourism industry in Hawai‘i.

“There are so many beautiful shots of

Hawai‘i, which I am sure will contribute [to tourism],” she said.

Although there are times Iwasaki feels overwhelmed by the constant busy pace on set, she tries to observe and learn as much as she can. When possible, she talks to the crew for fi lming advice. “They are really friendly and always willing to share stories,” she said.

Poliahu worked in the offi ce as a PA in season one, and was able to come back to work on the camera crew. She believes doing clerical work in the offi ce is more relaxed than working on set. Now that she See Five-0, next page

In remembrance of 9/11 Local events happening this weekend to remember the fateful day YUK A J. POLOVINA Contributing Writer How does one commemorate the 10 -year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States of America? In

the past decade, uttering “9/11” has been, and continues to be, strongly associated with a monumental tragedy of deeply political implications.

Most University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students were 10 or 11 years old in 2001. Understanding this event with more complexity likely took place over the years in the context of a classroom or news story.

In the last decade, politicians and the media have leveraged this event to launch into social dialogue about how we should view air travel, terrorism, war, religion, race and the fi ght to maintain freedom.

If we peel away the layers of analysis surrounding Sept. 11, we are reminded again that 10 years ago, thousands of people in this nation died because of an act of

terrorism. And thousands more became permanently injured, fell sick, or lost a loved one.

This Sunday, it is up to you to decide how you would like to honor the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy. Should you care to join others in this remembrance, listed below are a few events dedicated to remembrance of the tragedy happening around the island.

I N M E MO R I A M 9/11: MOZ A R T ʼS R E Q U I E M Presented by the O‘ahu Choral Society, the Honolulu Symphony Chorus with members of the Kona Music Society will be performing Mozart’s “Requiem” in honor of the 10-year anniversary of Sept.

works with the camera crew, she is determined to keep up and in her own words, “represent the women in the fi lm industry.”

“The camera department is very much a ‘boy’s club’ and one of the hardest industries to break into if you are a female,” she said, though she is holding her ground and even does the required heavy lifting.

Working on set doesn’t simply mean working with the crew.

Remington Taum, a junior studying communication, had the opportunity to get a speaking role as a shopkeeper in season one for the episode “Loa Aloha.”

“I got to talk with [actor] Daniel Dae K im. … He was the officer questioning me. He was so nice and down to earth,” she

said. “ We rehearsed our lines before the scene and he was such a great help in making me feel welcome and comfortable on set.”

Although it was both strange and “nerve-wracking” to see herself on the T V screen when it aired, she said, “It made me want to pursue acting more and maybe one day land a show like that.”

Currently, the cast and crew are busy fi lming the sixth episode for season two. The red carpet premiere will be held at Waikīkī Beach this coming Saturday, Sept. 10. “[There are] a few new faces,” said Poliahu. “The scripts are different and the stakes are higher.”

‘Idiot’ surprisingly smart NICK WEBSTER Special Issues Editor “I try to do good, but I just screw up.”

Those are the words of Ned, a “bio-dynamic” New York farmer played by Paul Rudd in “Our Idiot Brother,” a Sundance Film Festival comedy recently released in theaters.

In the opening scene, while selling produce at a local farmer’s market, a uniformed police offi cer confronts Ned and asks where he can score some cannabis. Moved by the offi cer’s reasoning for needing the drug, Ned gives him a bag for free. The offi cer then insists on paying, and upon fi nally accepting the cash, Ned is arrested and sent to prison.

The scene sets the tone for the rest of the fi lm.

It’s a comedy about a man who possesses a huge heart, but lacks the motivation and intelligence to make his own decisions. Due to this unfortunate combination, Ned is consistently put into awkward situations by the people who love him.

All three of Ned’s sisters (Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer), along with their love interests (Adam Scott, Rashida Jones and Steve Coogan), force him to spill secrets, and in the aftermath scapegoat Ned for the problems in their relationships. The only person he really feels he can talk to is his parole offi cer, who eventually is forced to turn his back as well.

Along with a wardrobe straight out of 1995, Rudd’s portrayal of Ned will leave audiences consistently blurting out the phrase “what an idiot.”

Despite his fl aws, Ned is impossible to hate. All he really wants in life is to play a game of charades with his family once a week and to play fetch with his labrador retriever, Willy Nelson.

Watching the fi lm, it feels like the role was written specifi cally with Rudd in mind. He’s not the cookie cutter character we’ve seen over and over

again in “I Love You, Man,” “Role Models” and “Knocked Up.” Think Jeff Spicoli with the heart and charm of Forrest Gump.

Despite the great cast, the fi lm sometimes suffers from being uneven. It goes from laugh-out-loud funny to heavy and sad in an instant. In one particular scene, Ned is searching the town for his lost dog.

While running through the streets, he repeatedly yells out “Willy Nelson.” In any other situation, a pothead running through the streets repeating Nelson’s name over and over would be pretty funny, and there were a few laughs in the audience.

The problem lies in the fact that during this scene, we’re supposed to feel sympathy for Ned, and instead, we’re given something to laugh about. It’s a problem that plagues the entire fi lm. The fi lm’s end is rather cliché and abrupt, but still altogether sweet.

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks: still not Pavement Whenever I want to listen to Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks’ new album, “Mirror TrafďŹ c,â€? my thumb inadvertently scrolls to the “Pâ€? section of my iPod. This is Malkmus’ dilemma: he will likely forever be known foremost for being the frontman of 90s indie band Pavement.

It’s surely frustrating for Malkmus, but all of his post-Pavement works will be judged in terms of their “Pavement-iness.�

The new millennium has been a decade of tricky transitions for Malkmus. Malkmus has stuck to rocking, but has achieved little critical approval in his endeavors.

But it’s not all his fault.

With age comes wisdom, and with practice comes skill. One of the many allures of Pavement was the near absence of these two things. If 90s Malkmus twanged off a wrong note in a solo, he would just hammer away at the thing until it sounded right, all while staring, bored, into the audience.

His indifference to the outcome was part of what resonated with people, but 2000s Malkmus cares. “[On ‘Mirror TrafďŹ c’] we were trying to be professional, in a weird way. It doesn’t sound very cool. But, I mean, we can really play, or whatever,â€? Malkmus said in an interview with Internet music publication “Pitchfork.â€?

Since the bells and whistles of youthful charisma are missing,

“Mirror TrafďŹ câ€? can be judged only on its songwriting, which for the most part is pretty good. The album’s single, “Senator,â€? is a straighton rocker, complete with a gross, quasi-political refrain. “Spazzâ€? and “Forever 28â€? also fall into the rocker category, and are among the most successful songs on the album.

The remainder of the album consists short mid-tempo pop/ rock songs with sparse hints of blues and folk, somewhat akin to “Terror Twilight,� the last album Pavement released before disbanding in 1999.

This is a departure for The Jicks, whose last album, “Real Emotional Trash,� tended toward monotonous, progressive-rock solo guitar. The shredding was selfindulgent, and at some points on the album, almost unlistenable.

Perhaps having Beck, another 90s slacker hero, as producer on “Mirror TrafďŹ câ€? was helpful in knowing when to edit.

Lyrically, the album is full of the bizarre imagery for which Malkmus is known. The very ďŹ rst line of the album, “I caught you streaking in your Birkenstocks / A scary thought for the two Ks,â€? lets the listener know up front that nothing has changed in that department.

For those who don’t know who Malkmus is, Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchantedâ€? is a better starting point than this album. For Pavement fans, “Mirror TrafďŹ câ€? is worth a listen, if only to close your eyes for a second and pretend that it’s 1999 again.

Filling out a roommate agreement in advance ensures that all parties are on the same page regarding both mundane and controversial issues such as guest policies and quiet hours.

A NALIESE DANNER Contributing Writer Of all the joys included in our college experiences, few can compare to the eye-opening experiences of living with roommates.

Freshmen arrive on campus with eager hearts, excited for a yearlong sleepover with fun, awesome people just like them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; right?

Unfortunately, it only takes a few days to realize that most people are not just like you, and your roommatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personalities and personal habits may irritate you.

Roommate drama has become a popular topic of conversation among my college peers, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice the amount of conďŹ&#x201A;ict involved in bunking with other students. Most of us have had at least one nightmare roommate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the one who hooks up in the bed next to you, the total slob, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;borrowerâ&#x20AC;? or the roommate who turns your dorm into a Led Zeppelin concert while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re studying for ďŹ nals. Even best friends who decide to room together often ďŹ nd themselves at each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throats by the end of the semester.

According to Student Housing Services, in the event of a room-

mate dispute, students are to go directly to their resident advisor, who will then take measures to mediate the controversy. If an agreement cannot be reached, the issue is forwarded to the resident director, who assesses the severity of the situation and determines if alternative arrangements can be made.

R As for all University of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i at MÄ noa residence halls are also currently discussing issuing roommate agreements to all residents in order to get suitemates on the same page when it comes to cleaning, guests and other aspects of shared living. Susan Fee, author of bestseller â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Roommate is Driving Me Crazy!â&#x20AC;? also suggests drawing up a roommate contract to set boundaries before any conďŹ&#x201A; ict can happen.

While these are all effective approaches to addressing roommate concerns, conďŹ&#x201A; icts may still arise, and ultimately you are the one who has to decide how to handle the situation. While your ďŹ rst instinct may be to go straight to SHS and ask for a new room assignment, choose to take a less dramatic and more positive approach.

Instead of complaining to other

housemates or friends â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which will only cause more tension and keep you focused on the problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be proactive, clear and assertive with your roommate. When something upsets or concerns you, confront your roommate directly and let him or her know exactly which action upsets you, and listen to the response. Be earnest and let him or her know that you are serious, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t threaten or criticize too harshly, as this will only feed the ďŹ re.

After your roommate has explained his or her reaction to your concern, ďŹ nd a solution to the problem and test it out. If you are shy, being assertive may be intimidating at ďŹ rst, but you must be consistent and learn to voice your opinion to better your living situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living with roommates in college is deďŹ nitely a learning experience,â&#x20AC;? said Amira Shehadey, a junior living in Hale Noelani apartments on campus. Consider your living situation part of your college education, and use the experience to learn how to give and receive respect and be a better communicator. Having roommates can be fun.

By being bold and changing your attitude and approach, you will ďŹ nd yourself a happier student.

Opinions

Reflecting on a decade after 9/11 We asked University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa faculty what they think students should be reflecting upon for the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 disaster. Below are some thoughts from our educators.

E ARL H ISHINUMA Professor, Psychiatry

“The relevance of 9/11 on the State of Hawai‘i, aside from its adverse economic impact, has been on the friends and family members of the victims with Hawai‘i ties, as well as the long-lasting effects of two wars – Afghanistan and Iraq – on our military and military families, including those stationed in Hawai‘i and those who are residents of Hawai‘i.

Even after the end of these wars, the human toll will continue for decades to come for the families and the generation affected, given the physical and mental rehabilitation that will be needed.”

“Never before have global economic, fi nancial, political, cultural and information systems been so rigorously interconnected. The 10-year anniversary … offers an opportunity to consider how our perceptions, ideologies, and actions have informed our families, neighborhoods, regions, the global community and the planet which sustains us. How have increased militarism, nationalism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia after the attacks impacted our communities?

This anniversary also allows us to A NJALI NATH reflect upon what personal and poGSO President and litical changes we can support that have the potential to create genu- Political Science Ph.D. candidate ine global political, economic, social and environmental security.”

DICK P R AT T Professor, Public Administration

“Tragedies present trials for individuals and for nations. Just as people show amazingly different responses to personal tragedies, so do nations. Looking back from here, how did we do? Did it bring us together more than it pulled us apart? Did it lead us toward understanding more about the world we live in, or leave us more isolated and self-absorbed? Did it strengthen us for future tragedies that surely will come, or leave us feeling more insecure?”

“This anniversary we should not only mourn the lives lost in the 9/11 bombings, but also protest the fact that, in the name of those who died, the U.S. has engaged in an unjustifi able war without end, and in human rights violations at home and abroad. The U.S.’s restriction of civil liberties, illegal detentions, practices of torture and military occupation have brought only more human misery and the countless loss of lives.”

DAVID S TANNARD Professor, American Studies “Students today should reflect upon two main concerns.

First, the immediate widespread cry across America asking, ‘Why do they hate us?’

Second, the subsequent vote in Congress to authorize the invasion and occupation of Iraq on the transparently false pretenses that it was responsible for 9/11 and was developing weapons of mass destruction.

Should such an attack ever occur again (and it probably will), students should carefully study U.S. history and politics before asking ‘why do they hate us?’

The answer is there. As for the Congressional vote to authorize war against Iraq – thereby launching an unprovoked military assault that murdered or displaced more than a million Iraqis, killed thousands of Americans, wasted billions of American dollars, and caused many more of the world’s people to hate us – students should be sure to campaign for peace and vote for representatives who had or will have the courage to resist concocted hysteria and vote against a phony war.”

S TEVEN ONKEN Research Specialist, School of Social Work

“Recognize that traumatic events come from many sources and can result in traumatized people. I was on faculty at Columbia University at the time, and there was a powerful need for New Yorkers to tell their stories, creating a ‘system of meanings’ to bring to what had happened. If a friend or loved one asks or needs to tell you something heavy that happened to him or her, please take a deep breath and listen – really listen. In telling we create meaning; in meaning making and being heard, we heal.”

“The attacks have had local, national, and worldwide effects. The way we travel will not be the same again. However, the most devastating have been, and will continue to be, on families. Hawai‘i has the largest proportion of military and National Guard in the U.S. They have been deployed for extended and multiple duty periods, with extreme sacrifi ces from their families and friends. Some have lost their lives; others suffer from head injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Your future looks bright, next caller

NIK SEU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

According to a 2001 National Science Foundation survey, more than 25 percent of the U.S. population believes in astrology, and over 50 percent believe in extrasensory perception.

TREVOR Z AKOV Staff Writer

Human nature is an inexact science.

Even the best-educated people in psychology, anthropology and sociology are not in the business of making predictions.

Yet there exists an age-old obsession, still zealously followed by countless people worldwide, with connecting to the mystical. This obsession includes astrology, tarot card reading, crystal ball reading, and any other quasi-mystical method intended to predict your future.

But this belief is backed up by absolutely no substantive, legitimate proof.

Horoscopes bunch together people into only 12 groups, and these predictions are expected to forecast how one’s life will change. Why are people so faithful to something as generic and interchangeable as fortune cookie predictions?

Today, the horoscope section is still present in most newspapers and maga-

zines, and is featured on numerous TMZ-type websites. The horoscope section might be tucked away on the back few pages, but it’s still there. The general layout of newspapers, magazines and gossip websites reveals a lot.

Important stuff goes front and center, then Sudoku and your daily dose of hyper-ambiguous horoscopes. Does no one take the time to question why, if these predictions are so good, they aren’t on the front page?

Many of us should be old enough to remember Miss Cleo. She was a “Jamaican” (in reality American) tarot card reader who ran a call-in psychic service.

She dominated the late-night television market for several years. She was like the Bernie Madoff of fortune readers, promising results but not being able to deliver. It was discovered that she was a fraud, but not before she made over 13 million dollars from bilked customers.

How can people be so gullible as to

believe that other humans are empowered to see the future? Today, with all of our technology and ability to cross check, background check and reference check anything, why would people continue to believe in something as archaic as a crystal ball reader, a tarot card “professional” or an astrological horoscope? These should have been the fi rst practices to disappear in a modern, scientific society. And yet, generation after generation, humans attempt to be in touch with the unknown.

But, through the eyes of a psychic skeptic, I see simply unemployed fortune tellers selling their services in infomercials. And the bottom line is this: if these lucky people can anticipate the future, why would they be selling their abilities at all? These fortune tellers should be able to take advantage of every fi nancial opportunity, making a fortune without ever working for us. If they’re really psychic, they should be living in mansions, not bothering people on late-night television.

JUSTIN F R ANCISCO Contributing Writer

Sexual expression. We all have it, but few are comfortable enough to talk about it. Even those naturally confident enough to express it are typically oppressed, particularly in the education system. Since the the sixties, sex – in all its forms – has been censored.

With many high schools currently teaching abstinence-only programs, some students enter college with little knowledge of sex, other than what they may have learned outside the classroom. A study by Congress showed that abstinence-only education does not keep teenagers from having sex, and furthermore, does not increase the likelihood of them using a condom. This is despite the $176 million the federal government throws at abstinence-only sexual education programs.

Instead of restrictive, limited views on sexuality, we should embrace all forms of knowledge. The need for open sexual discussion, embracing all sexual preferences, is apparent in America today.

I mean, who doesn’t like to talk about sex?

Apparently, I will have to be the first one to admit: I take satisfaction in participating in sex and discussions of sex, and I am here to share my experiences, knowledge, advice and sometimes even quirky stories. I would like to acknowledge that I am not a sexologist, have no degree in human sexuality – although I did take a course – and am by no means a therapist from whom one should take medical advice. If you have any questions or concerns that I am not able to answer, I will seek guidance from one of the many qualified professionals on campus.

I hope this can become an interactive column. I want you, the reader, to send in feedback about your own experiences so our community can learn from one another. I want to create an open and accepting dialogue in which all sexual issues can be discussed. Often, I will ask questions instead of just giving answers.

Remember, this is all just for play. Don’t think of it as a debate, but as a discussion. After all, dialogue is foreplay in its purest form. But matters addressed in this column are merely foreplay for your own sexual identity – it isn’t a means to an end, but a beginning. This column should act as a catalyst to examine your own sexual identity, not define it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Un-economical eats The recipe in your “Economical eats” feature is very deceptive. As a student who cooks and is on a budget, I need to know prices of food so I can plan out what I am making. When I totaled up the cost of each item (based on the average that I have seen in multiple markets around the island), the average cost per serving came out to around $5.50, not $1.53, as your article states. If your writer managed to fi nd all these ingredients for a full recipe and came out to $1.53 per serving, I would love to know where she shops, because even calculating sale prices into the total cost

of the recipe, it still came out to around $3.00/serving. Also, why does the writer have you turn on the oven? I’ve read the recipe a few times and did not see a time when the oven was needed.

If you want to write a useful recipe for students, put where the best prices on items are, and don’t assume they have ingredients like vinegar and honey (which average about $3 and $5 respectively).

Warriors look to tame Huskies

NIK SEU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I ERIC ALCANTARA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Warrior defense proved effective, with seven sacks in the first game of the season.

JOE F ERRER Associate Sports Editor Part two of the quest for an undefeated 2011 campaign starts tomorrow for the Warriors, in Seattle against the Washington Huskies.

The Warriors will welcome back two starters, wide receiver Darius Bright and linebacker Aaron Brown. The two were suspended for the season opener for their alleged involvement in a fi ght at a Waikīkī night club on Aug. 28.

“It was a hard lesson to learn, but that’s life. You gotta learn from your mistakes,” said Brown, who led the team in sacks and was the team’s third leading tackler last year in his junior season. “[Watching from the sidelines is] difficult to do when you know you’re healthy and you know you can contribute.”

While Brown will be plugged back into the starting lineup against the Huskies, Bright, a 6-foot-fourinch junior who redshirted last year

and was expected to start at receiver this season, will be in rotation with sophomore Allen Sampson due to a turf toe injury.

“I’m real excited to have those two back. It was unfortunate they couldn’t play with us the first game,” said junior defensive end Paipai Falemalu. “It’s gonna give us a real big boost because they’re two big playmakers on offense and defense.”

The last time Hawai‘i and Washington met was in 2007.

The Warriors battled back from a 21-point fi rst-half defi cit and marched to a 35-28 victory on their way to an undefeated season and a WAC championship.

This year, the ‘Bows are confi dent they can duplicate those same results.

Brown said, “It ’s a likely sce nario. We’re 1- 0 right now, about to be 2- 0 after this, and 3 - 0 when we come back [from the second away game].”

Both teams won their season

openers last week, with Hawai‘i beating Colorado 34-17 at home and Washington defeating last year’s Football Championship Subdivision Champions, the Eastern Washington Eagles, 30-27.

Having a strong rushing attack was the game plan last week for the Huskies’ head coach, Steve Sarkisian. Junior running back Chris Polk, who was questionable for the game due to arthroscopic knee surgery on Aug. 18, surprised many when he ran for 125 yards on 23 carries in the victory against the Eagles.

Polk will have a tougher time tomorrow against the nation’s sixth-ranked rush defense. The ‘Bows held Colorado to just 17 yards on the ground last week, and will be hoping to maintain the success they had in their opener.

“It feels pretty good to know that we’re doing something right around here,” said Falemalu. “Our goal is to be consistent – not to make last week a fl uke. [We want

to] let everyone know that we can play defense and we’re here to do it again.”

Falemalu, a 6 -foot-threeinch, 245 -pound junior out of Kahuku High School, will see another former Red Raider on the Washington squad tomorrow. The 2009 Honolulu StarBulletin’s Hawai‘i prep defensive Player of the Year, Hau‘oli Jamora, is the starting defensive end for the Huskies.

Jamora is one of fi ve players on the UW roster from Hawai‘i.

Others include offensive lineman Micah Hatchie from Waialua, defensive tackles Lawrence Lagafuaina from ‘Aiea and Semisi Tokolahi from Hilo, and safety Taz Stevenson from Mililani.

A fter tomorrow’s game, the Warriors will head to Las Vegas for the second game of their road trip against the UNLV Rebels. Their next home game will be on Saturday, Sept. 24, against UC Davis.

Rainbow Wahine host familiar foe M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor Head coach Michele Nagamine stood on the sidelines of Atherton Field at Hawai‘i Pacific University’s Kāne‘ohe campus the past three seasons as HPU’s head coach.

Now at the helm of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s women’s soccer team, Nagamine has an opportunity to coach against her former team this weekend.

“It’s going to be diffi cult to coach because there are a lot of the kids I recruited at HPU,” Nagamine said. “Anytime you have that situation like that [it’s diffi cult] – my leaving wasn’t anything personal towards them. I know from my side that I feel very bad about leaving.

“These are kids that I had brought in, and they were looking forward to playing for me. So yeah, I think it’s gonna be tough.”

But Nagamine understands that it’s going to be a signifi cant game because the Rainbow Wahine are still in search of their fi rst victory of the season.

“They are a very good team,” Nagamine said about HPU. “Emotions are going to be high. It’s going to be a really good game. Both of us are coming out to win.”

S E A RC H I N G F O R S U C C E S S UH (0-6) came up empty in its three-game road trip to California. The ‘Bows hung tough but fell to No. 14 UC Ir-

vine, Long Beach State and St. Mary’s. Senior defender Brittani Lum leads the Rainbow Wahine with two goals on the season.

“We lost 2-1, after going up 1-0 to the No. 14 [UC Irvine] team this past week,” Nagamine said. “When you’re making progress like that, we have to keep the big picture in mind.”

The ‘Bows will look for their fi rst win as it hosts HPU (2-0) on Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium. Admission is free.

“HPU is slated to be one of the top teams in the Pac-West [Conference] this year,” Nagamine said. “The preseason [Pac-West] player of the year is [junior forward] Meghan Fuller. Any time you have the conference player of the year that comes from Hawai‘i, [people] need to go out and see, because that doesn’t happen very often.”

And Nagamine is excited to showcase Hawai‘i soccer to the state.

“What we meant to do with our Division II sisters – that’s how we kind of view HPU, Chaminade and BYUH – we’re all in this together,” Nagamine said.

“Kids who come out to watch the game have a real good chance to see what they can be doing in a few years down the line.

“It’s going to be a really fun atmosphere where everybody will be cheering for the home team, because both teams are from Hawai‘i. I would hope that the youth really get behind this game.”
