New venue looking to cook fresh on campus
FADI YOUKHANA Contributing writer
This fall, Sodexo will open its new “Stir-Fresh Stir-Fry” venue, which looks to continue Sodexo’s “Local First” initiative, replacing Taco Bell on the first f loor of Campus Center. “In Hawai‘i, we have the unique opportunity to drastically reduce our environmental impact by purchasing locally grown foods and products from locally owned businesses,” said Derek Sayegusa of Sodexo Campus Services in Hawai‘i. At the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa last year, Sodexo was able to source more than 100,000 tons of local produce, which was approximately 30 percent of its total usage. Local farmers appreciate this feat. Noi of the university’s Farmers’ Market on campus explained that supporting local farmers improves the local economy. According to Senate Bill 937 and the Pacific Regional Integrated Science and Assessments Program, Hawai‘i imports about 92 percent of its food. The bill states that, in the event of a natural disaster or an economic disruption, Hawai‘i’s reliance on out-of-state food sources will place residents at a shortage. Local economic growth is hindered by the importation of
food products. The bill states that, if 10 percent of the current food imports are replaced with local produce, then about 2,300 jobs will be created. “An increase in usage of local produce by venues on the university’s campus will help to reduce the reliance on mainland imports,” Sayegusa said. “Being that almost everything consumed in our state must be shipped long distances, every
which helps Sodexo to source out the “best and freshest local products when possible,” Sayegusa said. The types of local produce that are used on campus on a day-to-day basis include bananas, basil, Chinese cabbage, cantaloupe, chives, parsley, pineapple, zucchini, egg-

local purchase that we make benefits the local community and economy.” Students like Ryan Silao, a sophomore business major, appreciate local ingredients when they buy food on campus. “I prefer that the ingredients were grown locally because I think that food will be of better quality and healthier for you,” Silao said. “Buying local ingredients will also help improve the economy in Hawai‘i.” Sodexo enjoys a partnership with Armstrong Produce, a locally based company,
plant, ginger, dragon fruit, onions, broccoli, tomatoes and more. Armstrong uses a variety of local farms to source out the produce including Sugarland, Aloun Farms, Sumida Farms, Nalo Farms and more. The new “Stir-Fresh Stir-Fry, Rice Bowls, Udon Noodles & More” comes as a response to the requests made by students in the Fall Student Survey. According to Sayegusa, students asked for more “Asian options on campus as well as more budget-friendly options.” Sayegusa stated that Stir-Fresh will allow diners the
freshest dining experience for their meal without heavy costs. While fresh produce plays a role in dining choices to students, the price of the product can be a deal breaker. “The prices at Stir-Fresh will be very budget-conscious, offering a nice full, fresh meal for our diners at a price that is easy on the wallet,” Sayegusa said. A reasonable price is a bonus for students like Cory Mau, a sophomore education major. “Local ingredients are important, but price is also important,” Mau said. “Price is one of the first things I look for when buying food on campus.” The partnership between Sodexo and Student A ffairs at the university provides dining services on campus that range from the food court, Ba-Le and the Hale Aloha Café at the dormitories to the concessions at Stan Sheriff Center.

New cyber range promotes cyber security
NOELLE F UJII News Editor
In July, the state of Hawai‘i, along with the University of Hawai‘i and state organizations, implemented a cyber range on the UH Mānoa campus to protect the state’s cyber infrastructure from attacks. “Attacking cyber infrastructure can potentially cost lives as power grids, dams, airplane control, are all on the Internet. … These concerns about protecting Hawai‘i’s cyber infrastructure are why the Hawai‘i National Guard is a partner in creating the Po‘oihe Cyber Range,” said David Chin, chairman of the Information and Computer Sciences Department, in an email interview. According to Chin, the cyber range was christened “Po‘oihe,” or “tip of the spear,” on July 24, referring to the fact that the cyber world has become the front line of war. The cyber range will be able to be utilized by all UH campuses, state and federal agencies, and local industries. UH Mānoa and the Hawai‘i National Guard will have management responsibilities and priorities on using the range. “While the cyber range is physically housed at UH Mānoa, other UH campuses (that) have cyber security programs will be able to use the cyber range for their students and programs,” Chin said. “It is also anticipated that the cyber range
will be used by the Hawai‘i National Guard and local industry as a training ground for their professionals.”
W H AT I S A C Y B E R R A N G E? According to Chin, a cyber range is a virtual environment used for cyberwarfare training and cybertechnology development. The range provides tools that help strengthen the stability, security and performance of cyberinfrastructures and IT systems used by military and government agencies. It also functions like a shooting range, facilitating training in weapons, operations or tactics. “It is just a training ground for people to practice protecting different computer systems and networks against a greater variety of cyber attacks,” Chin said. The range was put together with used and spare equipment from around the state. “The current system is proof of the concept that was put together with used and spare equipment around the state, including remnants of the retired “Jaws” supercomputer that was part of the Maui High Performance Computing Center, donations from local industries and lots of volunteer time,” Chin said. “The plan is to replace the proof of concept with more up-to-date equipment later, hopefully with additional funding from a variety of sources.” UH Mānoa has received multiple cyber attacks. Chin said that net-

computers across the campus are constantly being probed thousands of times per second. “Mostly these have been relatively benign attempts to access data (like valuable research results and personal financial records) and to take over computers to ‘zombify’ them so that they can be used as spam generators, for hacking other computers, etc.,” Chin said.
C Y B E R S E C U R I T Y C AT C H E S STUDENT INTEREST The subject of cyber security and information assurance has generated a lot of student interest, according to Chin. Student interest was a reason why the range was created. “Students are interested because there are a lot of jobs in this area. ICS graduates have gone on to acquire jobs paying six-figure annual salaries. These sorts of success stories make it back to current students and motivate them even more to acquire degrees in this field,” Chin said. The Grey Hats, a registered student organization, were founded in 2010 by seven undergraduate students at UH Mānoa. Their shared interest in cyber security inspired
them to compete in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, an annual competition that requires student “blue teams” to serve as the IT staff of a simulated business defending their computer networks against attacks by a “red team” of cyber security professionals from government and private industries. According to Bryce Nagareda, a member of the student-led organization, The Grey Hats were involved in creating a website for people to sign up for the Po‘oihe Cyber Range Exercise and creating the competition tasks for the competitors to complete. “Placing the Cyber Range system at UH Mā noa creates unique opportunities for students and faculty to train and conduct research in cyber security and other areas of computer science. The Cyber Range system is also a resource for community events like this competition/training exercise,” Nagareda said. Other UH organizations and departments are also involved with the cyber range. “ICS and UH System Information Technology Services are the key players on the UH side in putting the cyber range in play,” Chin said.
The UH Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology is also involved due to the electrical power required to run the old hardware. Chin stated that the physical servers were originally housed in ICS but were relocated to SOEST after power demands rose.
CYBER RANGE AT UH MĀNOA
The range is currently in a temporary location on UH Mānoa’s campus and will be moved to a permanent location later. “It’s at UH Mānoa because of the commitment and experience of the Information and Computer Sciences Department, as our faculty, staff and students have been involved in other cyber security exercises and competitions,” Chin said. “As the flagship campus of the UH system, we have faculty members who focus on research in cyber security and information assurance.” On Aug. 2-4, UH Mā noa held the fi rst annual Po‘oihe Cyber Range Exercise, which enabled participants to practice cyber security event response, mitigation and strategy.

Converting outfits for different occasions K ARISSA MONTANIA Staff Writer
Pe n ci
l Sk
ir
t
When you’re always on the go, it can be difficult to coordinate your outfits for varying occasions, especially if you are attending multiple events in one day that require different dress codes. If you don’t have time to run back home to change out of your school clothes for a business interview or to shop for a date outfit right after class, then here are some suggestions on how to put together versatile outfits with what you already have.
SCHOOL CLOTHING TO BUSINESS WEAR To avoid looking overdressed for class and underdressed for your business event, pair flats with a pencil skirt, sleeveless blouse and casual blazer. This look works for both instances because it appears polished and is also casual enough to wear comfortably during class. The staple of this outfit is the pencil skirt. The straight silhouette of the skirt can be dressed up or down, depending on what you pair with it. If a blazer is too suffocating, wear the skirt with a cami or basic T-shirt to class. Then, change into blouses like a silk top with embroidery, a sheer top with a collar or a peplum shirt. To spare your feet, pack heels to change into.
CASUAL DAY LOOK TO DRESSIER NIGHT

tric al S k ir t
Say your day starts off with grabbing coffee, going to a meeting and catching up on schoolwork, all while leaving yourself no time to properly change before heading out for a night with your friends. First, think about where you’ll be going throughout the day and where your dressiest location will be. Asymmetrical skirts are appropriate for day and night because they make the transition from casual to dressy: All you need to do is pair them with the right accessories. For your day look, wear the asymmetrical skirt with a loose fitting top tucked in and spunky flats, with embellishments such as studs or bows on them. To transition to night, add layers such as a fauxleather jacket or chunky necklaces for an outfit that stands out. Crop tops and high-waist skirts are also transitional pieces, depending on the shoes you wear with them. Daytime shoes like Converse or sandals work because they are flat and comfortable. High heels and wedges in mauve or black are cohesive with the dressier look because they give you some height and lend an air of elegance.

Zimmerman trial still controversial weeks later
US NEWS/ MCT
George Zimmerman (right) was found not guilty on July 13. A MANDA BEATY Contributing Writer
T he shooting and alleged murder of teenager Tray von Martin caused A merica to rise up once more and invest countless hours in boycotting the acquittal of the accused, then 28 -year- old George Zimmerman. T here are t wo sides to ever y stor y, but since we will only ever understand the incident from Zimmerman’s perspective, it begs the question: Did the jur y get it wrong? The media played an unnecessarily large role in reporting information about the trial based on emotion rather than facts and evidence. CNN reportedly depicted Zimmerman as a white racist, when he is part Hispanic. The media then further insulted Zimmerman by categorizing him as a white -Hispanic, which is a non-existent race; this would be equivalent to calling President Obama white black. At the time of Martin’s death, the media released a photograph of a much younger Tray von Martin, portraying him as a 12-year-old boy with a sweet disposition instead of the 17-year-old almost man Martin was when killed. This angle
played on the heartstrings of A mericans and allowed the media to present the case as a hate crime, which only fueled citizens’ hatred toward Zimmerman. According to Fox News, the prosecutors aimed to “paint (Zimmerman) as a wannabe cop whose misguided suspicions resulted in the teen’s death.” The prosecution arguments were geared toward inconsistencies in Zimmerman’s defense story, his blatant disregard of a police dispatcher’s instruction to not follow Martin and the suggestion that Martin was racially profiled. However, most of these arguments could be explained and were not strong enough for the jurors to convict 29 -year-old Zimmerman of second-degree murder or of manslaughter. Brooke Winans, a junior at the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa, shared similar views with a large portion of America, expressing that the jurors were mistaken in their verdict ruling “because the threat level was unjustified. Though (Zimmerman) may have felt threatened, as a large male adult, the threat to him was not enough to kill the boy, especially when (Zimmerman) was on the offense.” The defense team seemed to have a
stronger argument, however, claiming Zimmerman acted in self-defense because Martin planned and instigated the physical altercation instead of returning to the townhome where he was staying. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch activist, was initially suspicious because of the multiple break-ins that had happened recently in the gated community. Mark O’Mara, the defense attorney, said “(Zimmerman’s) not guilty of anything but protecting his own life.” Martin allegedly slammed Zimmerman’s head against the concrete sidewalk, causing injury. “I don’t agree with any part of the situation, but I’m glad in the end (Zimmerman) was found not guilty,” said April Anderson, a freshman at UH M ā noa. “I’d rather it would have not happened, of course, but I don’t agree that it was premeditated homicide either.” Though the accused was released from custody weeks ago, the verdict still causes heated debates across the United States. Some arguments suggest that Tray von had the right to stand his ground because he was being suspiciously followed; however, it is not a crime to follow someone in a public area
if violence does not ensue. The biggest dispute of the verdict is that Martin was racially profiled and therefore discriminatorily murdered. Tiana Rauliuk, another junior who is attending summer classes at UH M ā noa, has a different opinion on the issue. “At f irst I was upset that (Zimmerman) was charged as not guilt y,” R auliuk said. “However, I thought about it, and I know that a large percent of the population and myself included did not know nearly enough of the information throughout the entire case. T he jur y would make the most informed decision regardless of ethnicit y.” Many A mericans were outraged and anguished by the trial verdict earlier this month, sticking to their beliefs that Martin was targeted as a criminal because of his race and therefore wrongfully murdered. According to a juror on the case, there was not enough evidence to convict Zimmerman of second-degree murder or manslaughter. Regardless of many A mericans’ desires to convict Zimmerman, the law ruled in his favor, owing to the fact that the evidence of his selfdefense prevailed.

Rainbow Warriors are fit and ready
Junior quarterback Taylor Graham (right) transferred to UH from Ohio State University. ISMAEL MA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
JEREMY NIT TA Associate Sports Editor After almost two months off from football activities, the University of Hawai‘i football team got back to work this past Friday as it prepares for its second season in the Mountain West Conference. The Rainbow Warriors, coming off a 3-9 record in their fi rst year in the MWC, were excited to get back to football, but were noticeably more fit, thanks to new strength and conditioning coordinator Gary Beemer’s rigorous offseason workout program. “I think that as a team, you can see the difference the off-season program did,” junior quarterback Taylor Graham said. “I think people will notice the guys are in better shape, a little bigger, a little more toned. We’re fortunate to have Coach Beemer here, helping us out. I’m sure it’s going to help us in the long run throughout the course of the season.” Graham isn’t the only one who is noticing the difference. “As the reps kept going on, you could see some guys start grabbing their knees,”
senior defensive tackle Siasau Matagiese said. “It wasn’t very much, but you could see the difference between who trained and who didn’t. Personally for me, I feel way more explosive, stronger and healthier. The things he brought in help us get what we needed. I’m in shape. Last season, I always said I was almost in shape, but after
“I told them to applaud themselves,” head coach Norm Chow said. “It was terrific, but it was only an hour and a half. It’s a long way to go. It’s a marathon. I thought they gave us a tremendous effort, and you could tell they were in better shape.” But despite the high level of excitement, there was a bit of a dark cloud hang-
I thought they gave us a tremendous effort, and you could tell they were in better shape. —Head Coach Norm Chow going through that summer program, I can say that I’m in shape.” Fueled by their newfound fitness, the Rainbow Warriors went through their first official practice filled with energy and excitement. “To fi nally be out here for fall camp, throwing the ball around in 7-on-7 drills, it was a blast,” Graham said. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. It’s good to get the fi rst day out of the way and get those fi rst day jitters out. Now we can focus on working and getting better.”
ing over the practice. Before practice began, news broke that new offensive coordinator Aaron Price, who joined the team in February, is no longer with the team. Neither Chow nor the team would say the exact reason why Price left. “Circumstances have arisen, and we’ve decided that it would be best to move on,” Chow said. “The reasons, I don’t think are important. In deference to Aaron and the rest of us, we need to just move on. It’s an unfortunate situation, but we have to worry about these 104 young men we have out here.
“It’s not really unexpected. But some things have come up, and I’m just going to leave it at that. It doesn’t affect one thing. We have a couple of young guys in Jordan (Wynn) and Luke (Matthews) and they’ve been here long enough, so we’ll be fi ne.” “As a team, we’re not going to comment a whole lot on the coaching situations, and we’re going to leave that to Coach Chow,” Graham said. “I enjoyed my time with Coach Price, but unfortunately that time is over.” But the Rainbow Warriors also seemed determined not to let something like this get in the way of their quest to improve on last season’s 3-9 mark. This season, Hawai‘i was picked to fi nish sixth out of six in its division of the MWC. “Speaking with the boys, it puts a great chip on our shoulder,” Matagiese said. “You know, people aren’t expecting much from us this season, but our whole thing for each other is that we’re going to shock the world. Doesn’t matter where or how we do it. We’re going to shock the world. We only have the expectations for ourselves and our families and our fans. And that’s all we need.”
