Security officer Patrick Movery, respected by many on campus for his integrity and leadership abilities, has been at UH for 19 years. A LICIA PARTRIDGE Senior Staff Writer A seasoned University of Hawai‘i Mānoa campus security offi cer was selected as a “Top Cop” by the Law Enforcement and Security Appreciation Committee luncheon on Oct. 5 for his efforts in thwarting mo-ped and bicycle thefts on campus. Security offi cer Patrick Movery is originally from Jamaica but came to the United States in 1979 to join the military. Movery is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served six years as an infantryman and two years as a Military Police officer at Kāne‘ohe Marine Corps Base. A fter his eight years of service, he stayed in security and later joined the UH Mānoa campus security. Chief of Security Wayne Ogiro explained that Movery has been crucial in putting a stop to the bicycle and mo-ped thefts which plagued the campus last summer. Movery also currently leads fi rst-aid and CPR training lessons and re-certifi es offi cers and personnel in other departments.
According to Ogino, this is not a dramatic event for Mover y, since he has been with the university for 19 years and is well respected for his integrity, character and leadership skills. He also said that it ’s rare for a UH officer to be nominated for the award. “Movery has gone above and beyond the call of duty,” Ogino said. “What really distinguishes him, however, is his unselfish commitment to assist our department in using the latest computer technology for our daily security responsibilities.” Movery explained how he started out as a field offi cer and recently suggested using different computer technologies to make tracking and predicting crimes easier, especially thefts. Though, his primary duty is still in the field. “We use it to pinpoint where crimes happen,” Movery said. “It makes a sort of map then we can use it to predict.” Movery is currently working on his degree in computer science. Thefts are still a common problem on campus, Ogino said. Though the statistics fluctuate and have not changed much
since the summer, Movery was able to help make arrests with his new methods. Chief Ogino nominated Movery for the “ Top Cop” award this year, saying he “has used his self-taught expertise to troubleshoot and fine-tune the systems we use on a regular basis to make the department highly efficient.” Movery was one of 21 recipients decorated as “Top Cops” this year. Winners are members of various statewide private and government security agencies including the Honolulu Police, Maui police, Marine Corps, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Secret Service and UH campus security. “It was nice,” Movery said. “It was good to see the different agencies, private and government, come together. That’s real good.” This committee is made up of members from four main security organizations in Hawai‘i: ASIS International, Hawai‘i Chapter 134, Hawaii Hotel Visitor Security Association, Hawai‘i Joint Police Association and Counsel of Police & Private Security. It was established in 1984 to recognize various individuals in law enforcement and security, while strengthening the bond between local, state, and federal agencies and security professionals. The Hawai‘i Law Enforcement and Security Coalition heads the luncheon. Randall W. Mack, the committee chairman, explains how the honorees are selected. “The committee solicits nominees from various law enforcement agencies and security organizations for top cop awards throughout the year,” he said. “When they are received, the nominations are reviewed to determine which should receive the various awards. All nominees will be recognized as a top cop, their accomplishments read to the attendees, and presented a plaque with a top cop certifi cate.” On the day of the event, approximately 250 to 450 attendees join together to honor the individual awardees. Governor Linda Lingle opened up the event with her speech about the importance of working together to make Hawai‘i a safe place to live and work, as well as a safe destination for tourists. “It feels good (to be honored),” Movery said. “It’s something different. I wish more of us could have been picked.”

A student’s guide to smart printing ROBERT C HOY Staff Writer
As a result of recent budget cuts, many professors have been forced to shift the burden of printing costs onto the shoulders of already struggling students. Coupled with the fact that black printer ink costs more per milliliter than human blood, it’s no wonder that students have already begun to feel the repercussions. So what can be done to make ink cartridges last longer and how does printing at home compare to printing on campus? When choosing between using the home printer or the library’s, it’s important to do your research. A quick Google search of your printer’s manufacturer
and model will yield an estimated cost per page, which you can then compare to the library’s fl at rate of 9 cents. In most cases, it’s usually cheaper to print a text document at home. If you’re printing things like a PowerPoint presentation or a document with numerous images that don’t need to be in color, however, printing at the library becomes more cost effective. For color printing, a typical mix of color and black-and-white images with text will almost always be cheaper at home when compared with Hamilton Library’s 75 cents per page. Home printing costs can be further reduced in a number of ways. For things like assigned reading, you can save money and
paper by going into the print settings and either printing on both sides of the paper, known as duplex printing, or by printing multiple pages per sheet. You can also save ink by lowering the print quality with minimal effects to the document’s readability. When you run out of ink, head to Costco, where ink cartridge refills start at $7.99. If you don’t have a Costco card, check out Office Max, where refills start at $9.99. Although saving a few pennies here and there won’t seem like much, getting into the habit of making smart printing decisions can save you hundreds of dollars over the course of your academic life, as well as helping you become more eco-friendly.
Cash-strapped college students can save money on printing costs by comparing their printer model’s average cost per page to the library’s flate rate of 9 cents. NIK SEU SHINICHI TOYAMA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Squid’s sick pick of the week SETH N. L ILLEY Contributing Writer Normally, these articles are geared more toward underground music – music that wouldn’t necessarily come up in mainstream culture. This encourages readers to dig and fi nd really great music that doesn’t get much recognition. While Belle & Sebastian is by no means a mainstream group, they are fairly recognizable. They have played with many popular bands, such as The Shins and The Flaming Lips. Their music was also featured in the Jason Reitman fi lm, “Juno.” While that may take away some of their indie cred, it does not detract from the quality of their music.
Belle & Sebastian’s eighth album, “Write About Love,” is not a typical indie rock album. Belle & Sebastian have always been willing to play around with the genre, adding elements that other indie bands lack. The album’s first half is wistfully sunny, an oxymoron that is a typical description of Belle & Sebastian’s sound. Using elements of synth-pop, ‘90s rock, and Britpop in the instrumentation, they give it a very distinctive sound. Probably the most recognizable thing about Belle & Sebastian is Stuart Murdoch’s melancholy tenor voice. Murdoch is not only lead singer but also the band’s songwriter. The second half of the album
is more R&B infl uenced. This transition happens in a surprising collaboration with Norah Jones. The jazz icon lends her smooth vocals to the track “Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John,” a mellow soul song reminiscent of Aretha Franklin. T he next song, the title track, continues this theme, focusing on a sound more from the British R&B era; this is f itting, as Belle & Sebastian hail from Glasgow, Scotland. Perhaps the biggest difference from previous albums is that this album contains a few tracks featuring the other band members on lead vocals. See Squid’s sick pick, next page

For example, “I’m Not Living In The Real World” features the vocals of guitarist Stevie Jackson. “I Didn’t See It Coming” is a duet with Murdoch and Sarah Martin and “I Can See Your Future” features Martin on leads alone. Previously, Murdoch had generally been the only lead singer. “Write About Love” is a testament to Belle & Sebastian’s musical aptitude. Each song brings about memories of different musical eras – the roots of rock and roll, the beginning of indie rock, the rise of twee pop, and even the genesis of the synthesizer age. Few indie pop bands have had such an inf luence on the genre. You can hear tracks from the album on KTUH, Hawai‘i’s only alternative.

Microsoft takes a bite out of Apple PATRICK TR AN Staff Writer
Microsoft gambles in an attempt to compete with Apple and Google in the smartphone market.
On Oct. 11, Microsoft held a press conference regarding the launch of the Windows Phone 7, a new competitor in the smartphone market. Microsoft previously attempted to enter the market with its Windows Mobile OS, but the product ultimately failed due to specialized phones and competing operating systems like iOS and Android. After some reorganization of the mobile phone team, Microsoft developed the new OS from start to finish. The project began in 2008 and the team created an OS that was drastically different from its predecessor. “We wanted the Windows phone to be always delightful for you, whether you’re looking for a place to eat, reading mail, catching up with friends ...
or making a phone call, for example,” said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The phone features a slick interface that gives the user a new way of browsing through photo, music and menu options. “We created a smart design to make getting things done easy, but we also created Windows Phone Hubs ... we think it’s going to make it easier and faster for people to use,” said Joe Belfiore of Microsoft. Along with the obvious e-mail capabilities, the Hubs integrate social networks such as Facebook into the phone. According to Belfiore, the idea behind the People Hub is that it brings all your friends and family together in an aggregated feature. Although the main focus of the phone is communication and utility, applications still play an important role when it comes to the OS. Games such as Tetris and Sims 3 will be available on the phone. Apps such as Netflix will also be making their way to the platform, along with apps that will extend the phone’s functionality to make certain services such
as Twitter or eBay easier to access. Many more apps will become available upon the launch of the Windows Phone 7 and in the future. One advantage Windows Phone 7 has over competing phones is the integration of Xbox Live, allowing you to message or challenge your friends, or view your avatar and friends’ avatars. Microsoft already has a strong launch lineup when it comes to games such as Need for Speed, and exclusives such as Rocket Riot and The Harvest. The performances of these games are comparable to that of an iPhone or Android. Handset providers of the platform will include HTC, LG, Samsung, and even Dell. Although Verizon and Sprint will not be providing service until early next year, service providers AT&T, T-Mobile, and Telus are already onboard. Ralph de la Vega of AT&T states “We knew this was going to be a winner, it’s an awesome experience.” T he phones are scheduled for release in retail stores in early November.
Microsoft seeks to dominate the smartphone market with their new Windows Phone 7, which offers an drastically new OS and features a updated interface. JEFF WILCOX FLICKR

and stop traffi c, waving cardboard signs like middle-class panhandlers. Journalists moonlight as statisticians, ditching actual reporting for the cheap thrills of the latest opinion poll. Perhaps the most boring seasonal ritual is the “get-out-thevote” editorial chorus, piously reminding us about civic duty and democratic participation. They’re wrong. Your vote will not significantly alter the American political establishment. The morning after Election Day, power will still reside in the hands of a sclerotic corporatist duopoly, whose factions differ only on a very narrow spectrum of issues. Politicians will still be largely selfselected narcissists, the sort of people who use family members as props to win a popularity contest. Policy will still be decided by backroom pork and legalized bribery. If you are so keen to participate, write a check to your favorite lobbyist. It’ll do more. Hawai‘i elections offer the farcical choice between an unacceptable party and an unaccountable one. That already bodes ill for meaningful political engagement, but our Democrats won’t even amuse us with a single coherent idea. If you can name anything that unites that rabble beyond vanity, incompetence, and power worship, I will buy you a pony. A talking pony. Simply voting the right
grasp of what Madison called “the unref lecting multitude.” You can return that contempt by refusing to play along. Don’t allow anyone to bully you with the slogan, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” Of course you can. The right to complain requires no one’s permission, particularly when directed against those who presume to govern you. Complaint is an emblem of your humanity and free intelligence. You do not earn it by coloring a box. Indeed, voters have weaker cause for complaint. They have implicitly accepted the legitimacy of the political system and its attendant institutions, providing moral cover for our government’s actions. They are partially responsible for the consequences, including those unintended or fiercely opposed by the individual. Under such circumstances, refusing to vote may be the more powerful, more necessary, statement. But the crucial reason you should not vote is this: I’m voting (hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue). My motives are entirely sentimental; I have a childish fondness for multiple-choice questions. Many sleepless nights will go into this decision. When others vote, however, it diminishes the relative weight of my ballot. One vote out of millions is insignificant. But one in forty, or one in nine, could easily tip the scales. So for your own happiness, or at least mine, don’t vote.

Gyms and germs
While many atheletes recognize the need for a shower, few realize the importance of washing their hands. NIK SEU KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
L INDSY OGAWA Opinions Editor
Showering after an hour of working out may be obvious, but washing your hands immediately after using each piece of equipment, bringing a personal floor mat for floor exercises, refraining from cosmetic shaving, and using a personal bar of antibacterial soap may be some of the less common routines at the gym. According to Jack Foley, an athletic trainer and director of sports medicine at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., one out of three people in the United States suffers from an infectious skin disease. While the majority of fungal, viral and bacterial infections include athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch — all treatable through
medications — a recently popularized case brought into light that improper gym hygiene can come with serious consequences. Kyle Frey, a 21-year-old wrestler, noticed a pimple on his arm; it turned into a growth the size of his biceps the next morning. A fter being rushed to the emergency room, Frey learned that he had MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a deadly infection re sistant to most antibiotics. Frey underwent surgeries to clean his lesions, and was released from the hospital five days later. No one knows for certain where Frey contracted the infection, though most attribute the cause to a contaminated wrestling mat. If this young and seemingly healthy athlete contracted a lifethreatening disease, who is to say
that we won’t? To prevent infections from spreading, people must keep up their personal hygiene to stay safe, as well as keeping away from pools, mats and sports equipment if they have open wounds or suspect skin diseases. Covering lesions or certain infections, such as herpes, is not enough. Steven M. Zinder, a trainer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, noted that women avoid showering at public facilities. Men shower but are likely to “rinse,” rather then cleanse their body with soap, especially their feet. Aside from showering, athletes should assume that everything at the gym is infected. This means spraying public equipment with antibacterial spray and handwashing afterward. Gym mats and benches are especially important to clean, as there is full-body contact. If the gym does not clean their mats after each use, it may be a good idea to bring your own. Dr. Zinder also recommends bringing two bags, one for clean clothes and towels and the other for dirty clothes and towels to decrease the possibility of contamination. But people who do not shower or choose not to stay away from the gym while infectious are not the only reasons diseases are spread in the gym. Sneezing or blowing our noses without immediately washing our hands, even if not yet sick, can spread germs. Many are unaware of diseases while at the gym, either because symptoms seem insignificant or because there are no symptoms at all. The gym is a place to get healthy, so it is best to be prepared with personal products, as well as slippers for showering at the gym. It may also be helpful to ask your gym about their cleaning schedule for all surfaces and equipment, so that you do not leave with anything except a good workout. The UH Mānoa Fitness Center cleans its equipment four times every day during its operations.

Women’s volleyball from page 8
the team hitting .357, good for fourth best in the WAC. The Utah State Aggies (14-5, 2-4 WAC) was the hottest team in the WAC, starting the season 12-1 before losing to Hawai‘i in late September. They’ve cooled off, and have lost four games in WAC play. They are in the bottom half of the WAC standings. The Aggies are led by senior outside hitter Liz McArthur, who is one of three players that has received two WAC Player of the Week honors so far this season. “We will be on the road a lot,” junior outside hitter Kanani Danielson said. “It’s going to be a fun adventure for us to have team bonding.”
FOCUSING ON OUR SIDE Senior setter Dani Mafua feels that they must focus on themselves to be successful on the road trip. “We have to do the same thing – set the bar high,” Mafua said. “Not really let the opponent dictate how we perform. We’re just going to per-
form as high as we can and push each other on our side of the court and everything will take care of itself.”
MU LT I - D I M E N S I O N A L DA N I E L S O N Following her dominating performance against San Jose State and Fresno State last weekend, Danielson earned the WAC Player of the Week honor. She had 28 kills while hitting .338 over both matches. This is her second WAC Player of the Week honor this season and the eighth of her career. Fresno St ate head coach L auren Netherby- Sewell sa id Danielson’s abilit y helped her team grow. “She moves it around so well,” NetherbySewell said. “But I love playing against her because it gives our defenders an opportunity to really understand instead of just being somewhere where hitters normally hit with easy tendencies – you really have to learn angles and the way she’s approaching and where the set takes her. I (would) really like our defenders to learn from her.”
Emily Hartong spikes the ball past a San Jose player, adding six kills and a .500 kill pecantage in two sets. NIK SEU KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Warriors look to continue winning ways
is junior quarterback, Bryant Moniz. He tops the national stat boards in both passing (361.7 yards per game) and total offense (371.6 ypg). “He’s (Moniz) got to be so hard to prepare for,” Rolovich said. “He doesn’t make any mistakes. He’s very disciplined.” Hawai‘i has the strongest passing attack in the Football Bowl Subdivision this year and looks to continue their productivity against a Utah State secondary that allows the second lowest completion percentage in the WAC.
Junior wide receiver Royce Pollard jubilantly celebrates after the Warriors’ 27-21 upset win over the 19th-ranked University of Nevada Wolfpack on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010 at Aloha Stadium. JOEL KUTAKA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
JOE F ERRER Senior Sports Reporter After an upset win over No. 19 Nevada last week, the Warriors (5-2, 3-0) will take their fourgame winning streak to Logan, Utah where they will face the Utah State Aggies (2-4, 0-2). The Aggies know it will be a dogfi ght at Romney Stadium. The contest this Saturday against Hawai‘i has been designated their homecoming game. “It is a player driven offense and defense and I think they (Hawai‘i) have good players. They
(Hawai‘i) are a very talented football team,” Utah State head coach Gary Anderson said. After starting off 2010 with just a seven-point loss to now Bowl Championship Series (BCS) No. 1 Oklahoma, Utah State has struggled, only picking up wins against Idaho State and a struggling BYU team. Senior quarterback Diondre Borel leads the team, averaging 182.8 yards passing per game. Hawai‘i offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich expressed the need for his team to not let up against a Utah State team that may not have the best record, but
is certainly dangerous. “As coaches we gotta keep them up, and keep that carrot in front of their face because this team has a chance to do something special,” Rolovich said.
N AT I O N A L L E A D E R S Senior slot receivers Kealoha Pilares and Greg Salas make up the most productive receiving tandem in the country. “The system’s proved that it could work but you need players who are smart, and we talk a lot about wanting to be great,” offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich
said. “It’s a special group of people right now.” Salas is not only ranked second nationally with 910 receiving yards this year, but his 61 catches are just one behind the nation’s leader in receptions as well. Pilares falls right behind Salas in receiving yards with 793 and is ranked 7th with 53 receptions on the season. “I’ll probably name my next son after him,” said Rolovich about Pilares. “He does everything right.” The man who distributes the ball to these dynamic receivers

Linebacker Corey Paredes is leading a UH defense that has been very opportunistic in recent weeks. The Warrior defense has forced 19 turnovers this season and has the nation’s 10th best turnover margin of +7. “He’s one of the best tacklers in the country…he’s been playing well all year,” head coach Greg McMackin said. The former walk-on from Kane‘ohe is having a very active junior campaign as he ranks seventh nationally with a team-leading 82 tackles for an average of 11.7 per game. Paredes was named the Western Athletic Conference defensive player of the week for his nine tackles and two forced fumbles against Nevada last weekend. He stripped Nevada’s senior quarterback Colin Kaepernick twice, the second of which was fumbled on Hawai‘i’s one yard line and was knocked out of the end zone for a touchback. “If he (Kaepernick) wants to say it was all on him… that’s what he thinks,” said Paredes. “Holding an offense that averages 545 yards a game to 200 something, is just a refl ection of how the (Hawai‘i) defense played. I think the defense played awesome and there’s not much more to that.”
