Ramen

R EECE FARINAS Features Editor

TA I YO RAMEN Right at the ‘ewa and mau k a corner of Ala Moana Shopp i n g Center is small little noodle s h o p t h a t packs a punch.

Service here is not the best (the Korean family that runs the joint forgot my meal the last time I was there), but the food is always good and they stay open until 3 a.m. Their noodles are always fresh and cooked to order. Their soup broth is just the right combination of salty and tart. It’s definitely worth a visit.

SCREENSHOT/MAIL.HAWAII.EDU

Students’ UH email can now be accessed through Gmail.

956-7655

University of Hawai‘i WebMail will migrate to Google Mail after nearly a decade of using in-house services to provide @hawaii.edu email accounts to faculty, staff and students.

Google Mail, or Gmail, offers more features than WebMail, and will also eliminate the university’s email service costs.

According to Osamu Makiguchi, project manager for the migration to Google Mail, WebMail costs UH $250,000 annually. These costs cover the email system’s resources, including

multiple servers, network equipment, storage (hard drives and backup systems), software licensing costs and the salary for one full-time staff member.

Scheduled migration to Google@UH began Feb. 1, and new students will be provided with the new email system.

According to Makiguchi, about 8,500 students, faculty and staff have already transferred accounts. Students are required to migrate by December.

Google@UH will exponentially increase email storage: The current UH WebMail quota is 500 MB for faculty and staff, and 250 MB for students. Google will offer 7,540 MB

of mail storage for every mailbox.

Google also has a history of regularly increasing its email quota.

SWITCH RAISES CONCERNS

In 2002, UH began to provide WebMail. Makiguchi said that due to the increase of traffic through the ser vers over the years, limited features, and $200,000 yearly maintenance costs, it was decided that an up grade was needed.

“With any technology, you constantly need to upgrade it to keep up with the growing demand,” she said.

Google Mail: Switch by December from previous page

However, some faculty members have lingering concerns regarding the migration to Google@UH. According to David Ross, former Facult y Senate chair and math professor, some facult y members opposed the move when it was initially brought up last year. Ross draf ted and sent an email to David L assner, vice president for information technolog y and chief information of f icer, on behalf of the A ll- Campus Council of Facult y Senate Chairs, asking for open meetings to evaluate these concerns. T hese meetings have yet to be conducted.

“Most of the concerns I’ve heard from facult y opponents to Gmail relate to privacy, securit y, and ownership of information and intellectual propert y,” Ross said.

Makiguchi said that these concerns have not only been voiced by the UH community, but by every school that has moved to Google.

“Google has been adopted by hundreds of lower- and highereducation schools – which totals 10 million users – and these issues have been vetted to the general satisfaction of these schools,” she said.

B U D G E T I M PAC T Ross said that on the scale of the entire system budget, the

estimated $250,000 that UH will save due to the move to Google@ UH isn’t much of a cost cut.

“The current advocacy documents for the move have added some projected equipment savings, but they are minor, and the basis for those estimates is rather shaky,” Ross said.

However, Makiguchi asserted that the savings are signifi cant.

“The bigger question is, if we decide not to outsource to Google, where do we cut $200,000 a year from the budget? Do we stop adding wireless access points around campus? Do we start charging for the free anti-virus software that is currently available to the UH community? Do we assess a technology fee to students? Google provides superior email and calendar services while helping the univer-

sity save $200,000 per year.”

Despite the concerns, students are required to migrate, while faculty and staff are not yet obligated to do so, pending consultation among each of the 10 campuses in the UH System.

Makiguchi encouraged students to start the process soon.

“If they don’t schedule early, they may not have a choice of when to migrate … [The] end of the semester is usually a busy time for students to work on projects and study for fi nals, so it’s best for students to migrate soon and get the process out of the way.”

Named for the yellow curtains and lemon-print hangings (not to mention the slice of orange that comes on the side with your coffee), Cafe Citrus is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it – it’s located in the lot behind Varsity Grill and Bar, nestled under the stairway.

The location suits the restaurant, which is kept small and personal.

The owner, Tyna Millacci, moved to Hawai‘i 20 years ago to work in the catering business. In the summer of 2009, she opened Cafe Citrus because, she said, “I wanted to continue to have a kitchen.” The café seats 10 to 15 people, but customers come and go in small groups, making it a great place to have a quiet conversation or read a book over soup and a sandwich.

The menu is healthy, diverse and quite affordable. A cup of coffee goes for $1.25, but Millacci’s specialties are the ginger lemon-

ade and the hibiscus iced tea (each $1.95). Breakfast is served all day, and the $2.99 breakfast special consists of two eggs, bacon or sausage, rice and toast. The pasta special for $3.99 is a fair portion of spaghetti and meat sauce with a garlic bread side. Other lunch options include wraps, a good selection of salads, bagels and some small desserts (the most popular is the lemon bar for $1.95).

The owner, who is also the cook and at times the cashier, makes all her soups from scratch in the Citrus kitchen, and offers a new soup every day. Past soups she’s served up include Thai chicken soup, potato salmon chowder and tomato bisque.

The drawback for some is that there is no Wi-Fi connection, which Millacci said she likes, as the café is too small to have people lingering over a cup of coffee with their laptops for hours at a time.

She does offer some board games, and an odd set of “discussion topic cards” from the 1980’s, which ask

things like, “Do you think Reagan’s address to the Soviet Union was appropriate?”

The food is good enough that you may be too busy eating to ask your partner antiquated questions.

Millaci said, “I get a lot of basketball players in here – they come in packs ... and they’re hungry.”

I can see why. With a warm kitchen that has all the fi xings, it feels like mom is making you a sandwich after school again – a really delicious sandwich, at that.

Tea Farm A LEX ANDER C HAR Contributing Writer Upon graduation, most young adults polish their résumés and seek out careers in the competitive workforce. Ervin Gong, owner of The Tea Farm, decided to dream a little bigger.

After graduating from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa as a fi nance major in 2003, Gong spent time traveling through Indonesia and China. For a year, he studied in tea houses in Beijing before returning to Hawai‘i to start a tea cafe.

Unable to start up a physical shop due to fi nancial constraints, Gong turned to the Internet to start his business. His business started at www.theteafarm.com, where customers are able to order dozens of different teas online.

Within two days of opening, Gong received his fi rst order, and business has been steady ever since. Then, with enough money accumulated, he started looking for a place to open up his tea cafe.

Gong originally aimed for a location in downtown Honolulu, but was unsatisfied with the lack of customer traffi c after 6 p.m. and weekends, and limited vacancies.

So he settled on Puck’s Alley ( just down the street from UH), and The Tea Farm Cafe fi nally opened on Valentine’s Day. The cafe is small, with a single counter and a half-dozen tables and chairs. The walls are predominantly white, with a few images of nature and the words “THE TEA FARM” and “I LOVE TEA” emblazoned upon them.

The uniqueness of Gong’s tea farm lies in the choice of tea. Instead of a fi xed menu above the counter, there is a shelf full of jars of tea leaves with labels, encouraging customers to sniff each jar

and get a sense of the aromas and fl avors available.

Tea isn’t as popular as coffee, and The Tea Farm probably will not expand as much as Starbucks Coffee, but Gong has the advantage of a niche audience.

Gong did not have the college consumer base in mind when searching for a location, yet it has proved to be a great spot for college students to hang out.

The Tea Farm is within a short bus ride or walk from campus, and offers caffeinated alternatives to coffee. The setting and mood are great for studying or simply hanging out with friends after a long day of classes.

Right now Gong’s customer base is small; he can spot frequent customers and identify who is new.

The Tea Farm doesn’t have much advertising, and only recently did Gong post a sign above his shop.

Most new customers are friends of other frequent customers, or they were passersby whose eyes caught the slogan “I LOVE TEA” on the inside of the shop. Whether you are a tea enthusiast, a fi rst-time sampler, or simply looking for a pleasant spot to study, remember the phrase “I LOVE TEA,” and look for The Tea Farm Cafe in Puck’s Alley.

America’s double standard I AN NAWALINSKI Staff Writer

Given America’s military presence around the world, our history of similar circumstances and our role as a superpower, it’s rhetorical to ask in contemporary society whether violence should be met with violence in the face of genocide.

The answer is yes. But the question remains: On what is America’s decision to intervene ultimately based? The recent military involvement in Libya suggests there remains a clear bias in United States foreign policy.

S P R E A D O F R E VO L U T I O N The year began with a hint of

unrest. First, in Cairo, massive, peaceful protests successfully ousted a longtime president in the face of injustice. Three months later, a pandemic of discontent has followed, its scope increasing in size and severity.

The political environment is akin to a splintering crack on a thin sheet of glass, ready to give way under pressure. The protests in Egypt have branched off into similar revolts around the world. From neighboring Tunisia and Libya in Africa, to Bahrain and Syria in the Middle East, unrest has culminated widespread revolution.

The war between rebel-held eastern Libya and pro-government western Libya was sparked when rebel forces pushed dangerously

close to Moammar Gadhafi’s bastion in Tripoli, the nation’s capital.

Fighters amassed in the rebel-controlled city of Misrata, a troubling reality for Libya’s leader. Gadhafi’s vice-like grip ont the people was loosening.

However, retaliation proved to be swift and merciless.

Unlike the revolts in Egypt, which were only scattered with pockets of violence, Libya’s revolution has involved widespread, systematic killings by government forces to quell the resistance. Also unlike Egypt, where President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, Gadhafi has refused to hand over power, and is willing to take the lives of his own people.

A U N I T E D N AT I O N S O P E R AT O N We know how America played its role. In accordance with a United Nations Security Council resolution, a joint coalition of nations enforced a “no-fl y zone” in Libya to prevent Gadhafi from using aircraft against civilians. U.S. Navy warships launched over 100 Tomahawk missile strikes from off the coast of Africa. This paved the way for French fi ghter jets to enter Libya’s airspace, where they destroyed nearly all of Gadhafi’s tanks on the front line.

The U.N. intervention was in direct response to an open outcry from the Libyan people suffering at the hands of Gadhafi , and coalition forces successfully crippled

Gadhafi’s defenses and gave new life to the rebels.

President Obama insists this is not America’s war, but a U.N. operation – which it is. But we can’t deny that the U.N. includes America. We are a greatly infl uential force in this coalition. We can’t deny that while Obama has promised not to put troops on the ground, we are now involved in this war just as much as the rebels. To turn our backs now would be counterproductive.

The question isn’t if the intervention was justifi able – even alQaida is reported to be sympathetic to the rebellion. There should be no discrepancy over how it was See Foreign policy, next page

done. If anything, we should question why it was done only here. Why does Libya get special treatment, while civilians in other countries suffer at the hands of volatile establishments?

It is too easy, almost clichéd, to assert that Libya is nothing but another “blood for oil situation.” As violence in the countr y

same can be said about Iraq.

This can not be said about Bahrain, Syria or Tunisia.

Iraq and Libya were both invaded because of a t yrant.

T he comparisons are eerie. But the argument can be made that the violence in Libya is not on par with the protests in Bahrain, Syria and Tunisia. It is

Perhaps that is why we hope it appears this is not the U.S.’s or the U.N.’s war, but Libya’s war, with international intervention.

But is it really?

manesque imperialists, as most of the world believes. Our ap proach in Libya is a step in the right direction. However, we must be caref ul not to let our ambitions be overshadowed by

ignorance, incompetence and indiscretion. We must not let our intentions be purely motivated by politics. We must come to acknowledge that the value of a human life should be the same any where.

It takes more than missile strikes and sorties to sway the tide of battle in a rebellion. If Iraq proved anything, it was that a transfer of power could crumble if orchestrated by war, despite a “Mission Accomplished” banner.

Iraq proved that it takes more than an occupation to rebuild a war-torn country and instill democracy. If the American Revolution demonstrated anything, it’s that a successful resistance is born out of a grassroots, do-

In other words, resistance is born from within. Iraq proved it takes basic ser vices – like water, electricit y and healthcare – to even begin considering the rise of a new democracy. It takes rebuilding, and not turning our backs.

M ARC A R AK AKI Associate Sports Editor

The University of Hawai‘i women’s golf team has players from Sweden, Alaska, Florida, California and Hawai‘i.

Lone senior and team captain Brittany Bomar was born in Phoenix, Ariz., grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and went to college at the University of Northern Iowa before transferring to Hawai‘i.

Bomar said her journey traveling has a profound impact on her life. “[It’s helped me] just being able to adapt to new situations,” Bomar said. “For college, I think that’s really important, because going to a new place where you don’t know many people [and] being able to be outgoing is really helpful.”

Women’s Amateur Public Links appearances from 2007 to 2010 as the top qualifier from Alaska.

“I’ve been to four of them, and it’s been amazing,” Bomar said.

“They have it set up just like a tour event [professional tour] would be.

Just to be able to go down there and play with that caliber of players is just a privilege.”

Off the golf course, head coach Lori Castillo said Bomar has been a leader in every phase of her life.

“Brittany is a good example as a student-athlete for the women’s golf program,” Castillo said. “Brittany is well liked by all the team members.

She’s a kind person. She’s 100-percent committed at practice, and puts in a full effort and really sets a good example that way.”

Sophomore Ka‘ili Britos said she agrees.

“She was a great leader this whole year,” Britos said. “She listened to what everyone had to say. She didn’t listen to just herself or a couple people, she listened to all sides.”

Bomar, although done with collegiate golf at the end of the semester, said she wouldn’t mind playing golf at the next level. “[My major] is speech, but my next endeavor is to try to go down to Arizona and play professionally. There’s a mini tour down there. And I‘d really love to travel and see the world, and if I could play golf while doing that, then I’d defi nitely take advantage of it.”

After Bomar transferred to Hawai‘i, she made an immediate impact as a junior during the 200910 season. Bomar completed her junior season with a scoring aver-

Hawai‘i begins its postseason with the Western Athletic Conference Championships in Mesa, Ariz. The host site is the Longbow Golf Club.

AN OUTDOOR SPORT Golf requires sunlight and good weather to get a solid practice session. But when you live in Alaska, practicing and playing tournaments is hard to do year-round.

After transferring to Hawai‘i, Bomar could play golf in comfortable weather nearly 365 days a year. “[In Alaska] our season’s only about five months long, and about three months of good quality play, just because the ground’s frozen,” Bomar said. “Just being up there and having only a short amount of time to play really makes me appreciate being in a place that I can play year-round and really take advantage of that.”

A L L I N T H E FA M I LY Bomar isn’t the only person in her family to play golf. Her father, William Bomar, is the director of the First Tee of Alaska program.

“I never felt too much pressure with him,” Bomar said of her dad.

“That’s one reason why I had such drive to play the game. He was always there and supportive, but I never felt the sense that I had to do this. Of course, I know it would mean a lot to him to see me succeed, but the pressure is more positive – it’s never been negative.”

William Bomar said golf is a large part of his family’s life.

age of 80.5 in eight tournaments.

“There’s always room for improvement,” Bomar said. “In Iowa, we had four months out of the year we had snow on the ground. To be able to fi nally come here and have year-round golf was really nice.”

Bomar began her senior campaign with the best fi nish of her Hawai‘i career at the Rose City Collegiate last September. She shot rounds of 75, 74 and 76, giving her a three-day total of 225 – good for a tie for 14th place.

“We just showed up for it, and we loved the course,” Bomar said.

“I love the Pacific Northwest. It reminds me of home, so I felt very comfortable. I allowed results to happen, instead of trying to force anything.”

COURTESY OF UH MEDIA RELATIONS

Brittany Bomar, the lone senior and team captain for the UH women’s gold team, will pursue a professional golf career in Arizona.

“Basically, it’s been something I’ve done my entire life,” he said.

“It was a way Brittany and I could spend a lot of time as she was growing up, together out on the golf course, or playing in tournaments.”

“She’s just a fun person to be around,” he continued. “She kind of lights up the mood, and kind of lets everyone feel comfortable and have a good time. She has a great personality.”

A M AT E U R C A R E E R Bomar, a 2006 graduate of Robert Service High School in Anchorage, Alaska, saw success

early in her amateur career.

In addition to numerous junior tournament wins, Bomar won the Alaska State Match Play Championship and the Alaska State Amateur Championship the summer after her high school graduation.

“It helped me to get some confidence before going off to college, because in Alaska we don’t have any high school golf teams,” Bomar said. “Especially playing against some good players ... I am only the third girl from the state to go to Division I.” Bomar then continued her success with four consecutive U.S.
