People with type 2 diabetes are often unaware of its presence. H ARLEY DIVEN Contributing Writer In Hawaiʻi alone, 28,000 people wake up each day and drink their morning coffee, unaware that today they could potentially be a killer’s next victim. The killer’s name is diabetes. Of 113,000 diabetics in Hawaiʻi, at least 28,000 are undiagnosed, according to a fact sheet released by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Hawaiʻi. With complications like heart disease, eye disease and blindness, amputations, kidney disease, coma, and even death, cases of undiagnosed diabetes are ticking time-bombs just waiting to blow. November marks the beginning of American Diabetes Awareness month, a reminder
from the A DA to take action against the disease.
T YPES OF DIABETES Diabetes occurs when there is not enough insulin production in the body or when the insulin hormone is not working properly. Normally, the role of insulin in the human body is to aid cells in getting glucose from the blood. In type 1 diabetes, which accounts for about 5 to 10 percent of all diabetes cases, the pancreas does not produce insulin. These people must be injected with insulin or have insulin pumped into them through a catheter inserted into their abdomen, according to the Mayo Clinic website. On the other hand, if the pancreas produces insulin but
it is not enough, or not working properly, it is classified as type 2 diabetes. In either case, a lack of insulin intervention allows the blood glucose levels to rise to excessive levels resulting in potentially deadly consequences. While there are symptoms of diabetes, such as excessive thirst and urination, weight loss, and tingling in the extremities, a lot of times the symptoms are completely overlooked. “Most people I talk to say you can’t really tell (when your blood glucose levels are high),” said Dr. Anne Shovic, a professor in the Food Science and Nutrition Department at UH Mānoa. For diagnoses, the Fasting Blood Glucose test is most commonly administered. The patient fasts overnight
and their blood glucose levels are then measured. Less than 100 mg/dl puts you in the clear, but above 125 mg/dl is a red alert for diabetes, as indicated by the ADA’s website. Slightly higher blood glucose levels, between 101-124 mg/dl, is referred to as prediabetes, Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG), or Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT), according to the ADA. In 1999-2000, seven percent of those aged 12-19 in the U.S. had IFG and 25.9 percent of those over the age of 20 had IFG in 2003-2006, states the Center for Disease Control’s website. Considering the melting pot of ethnicities here at UHM, these particular statistics from A DA Hawai‘i are not to be taken lightly: Native Hawaiians are most at risk for developing diabetes and have the highest mortality rates. There are currently 20,000 Native Hawaiians living with diabetes in the state of Hawai‘i. Additionally, those of Filipino or Japanese ethnicities are at an elevated risk, followed by A frican Americans and Hispanics. Obesity holds a huge link to diabetes as well. In fact, nine of 10 adults in Hawai‘i who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are overweight, reports the ADA Hawai‘i Fact Sheet. Simply put, a fat cell has more surface area than a non-fat cell, and the insulin receptors are presented with the diffi cult task of covering that extra surface area, rendering them less effective. “It ’s been shown over and over that diabetes follows obe sity,” said Shovic. Moreover, the burden lies not only on Hawaiʻi’s health, but on our wallets. Approximately $964 million are spent yearly on health care due to diabetes. See Diabetes, next page

Keep in mind, that is in the state of Hawaiʻi alone. “Right now the direct medical health care cost (in the United States) is $174 billion a year,” said Shovic.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION Fortunately, diabetes is large-
ly preventable. Multiple studies have shown that physical activity and diet play major roles in the prevention of this disease. Thirty minutes of physical activity or exercise fi ve days a week combined with a 5-10 percent reduction of body weight can potentially re-
duce the risk of diabetes by up to 58 percent, according to the Hawaiʻi Diabetes Plan 2010. W hen the words “physical activity” are mentioned, many people tend to think of jogging, swimming, and weight training. But the key to sticking with

an exercise regimen is to find what you enjoy doing. This can be anything: a brisk walk with your dog, a yoga or pilates class, jumping rope, or even dancing. As long as your heart is beating vigorously, anything can count as physical activity. Making a few simple changes to your diet can lead to significant results as well. For example, rice is a major staple found in many pantries and kitchens in Hawaiʻi. If you commit to swapping just one-third of white rice for brown in your daily bento box, it could reduce your diabetes risk by up to 16 percent, as found by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Cambridge, MA. However, the subjects in this study did not eat a significant amount of rice, so it is possible that brown rice eaters simply maintained a healthier lifestyle. Similarly, when a type 2 diabetic loses weight their symptoms are likely to lessen or diminish completely, Shovic explained. Shovic mentioned the “Triad of Treatment” for management of diabetes: a balancing act of exercise, medication (insulin as needed), and a nutritious diet. Fifty to 60 percent of calories in your diet should come from complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables. A 15 to 20 percent portion of your diet should be protein and the other 30 percent or less of calories consumed should be from fat, expressed Shovic. At one time, type I diabetes was known as “child diabetes,” while type 2 was a disease only for adults called “adult-onset diabetes.” This distinction no longer applies. “Now what we are fi nding is that children are developing diabetes as children, and so they are expected to live with diabetes for 50 years. And people are saying this may be the fi rst time in human history where the parents will outlive their children,” said Shovic.

Steve Case lecture outlines entrepreneurship LYNN NAK AGAWA News Editor
Businessman Steve Case said on Monday that people, passion, and perseverance are the foundations of good entrepreneurship. Case, former chair and CEO of America Online, Inc. and later, former chairman of AOL Time Warner, was invited to give the lecture through the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship (PACE) of the Shidler College of Business. The event was held at the Ala Moana Hotel’s Hibiscus Ballroom with about 600 people in attendance. Case was interviewed by Susan Yamada, executive director of PACE. Case was born in Hawaiʻi, raised in Mānoa, and attended Punahou School and Williams College in Massachusetts where he studied political science. His path into the business world began as a child, “with the proverbial lemonade stand” and further developed after college, when Case worked for Procter and Gamble and was a manager for pizza development at Pizza Hut. As the cofounder of AOL, Case helped to bring the service to millions of people with a vigorous advertising campaign that included free trials. Case also strived to make the Internet a safer place for children and was involved in philanthropic efforts. AOL merged with Time Warner in 2001. Reflecting on his AOL days, Case said he believed early on in an interactive world. He said that people, passion, and perseverance or building a good team, trusting your intuition, and taking on challenges are important for successful entrepreneurship. Case said there were many challenges at AOL but “nothing im-

portant happens overnight.” “Big ideas take longer to develop. They are riskier, but I think they are worth (it),” he said. Case launched Revolution, a company that helps to build business that last and focuses on empowering consumers. Revolution focuses on companies in the health, resort, wellness, and digital sectors. “We scout for innovative new products and breakthrough ways of doing things that are currently undiscovered, under-financed or undone,” said the Revolution website. Case is a major investor in Grove Farm on Kauaʻi and Maui Land & Pineapple. He is currently the chairman of Exclusive Resorts, LLC and two non-profit
organizations, the Case Foundation and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. Case has been involved with other philanthropic efforts, such as Business Strengthening America and the Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy. He currently resides in Washington, D.C., where Revolution’s headquarters is based. The Kīpapa i ke Ala Lecture Series was created in 2001. Its purpose is to inform the University and the public on how the state may benefit from the fast-paced changes in the worldwide marketplace. The lecture series is organized by PACE and is sponsored by the Emmett R. Quady Foundation and Kamakura Corporation.

“What do you find unattractive?” E VA AVERY & BRIAN TSENG Staff Writer & Photographer
JAYME SUMIDA
SOR A A KIBA
“Unattractive is when a girl doesn’t pay attention to her appearance, like she just gets out of bed and just goes. Maybe cause I see that a lot at school. When girls are like ‘I don’t care about my appearance’…It might sound shallow, but your fi rst impression is obviously what you see. You just don’t want to admit it. “
“Rudeness.”
SHAUN GRINDLE “The most unattractive thing for me is when a girl is needy, and very clingy. Not that I don’t enjoy spending time with her, but I don’t want to feel like I’m her everything. Like if they don’t have a boyfriend, then they are depressed and sad when I’m not around. I want to travel with them, not carry them.”
L AUREL GHOSHORY A LICIA F UNG “Arrogance. When I can’t keep a conversation with them for more than fi ve minutes.”
“When they are a total douchebag. When they use girls and they lie and think they can get away with it.”
A LEX BASSET T
SOPHIA NELSON “Back hair is very unattractive. Thinking they’re really good at something. When they’re pretentious, egotistical, prideful. “
ROSS YONAMINE “I like skinny girls. I fi nd Asian girls attractive cause I’m Asian. I wouldn’t go date a giant person cause I’m kind of small.”
K AETY ENOS
JON F RITZER
“I don’t like when they are skinnier than me.”
“Unattractive I would say would be selfishness, and being too high maintenance, or being above everyone.”
“I don’t like when girls are catty, snide, sassy, in your face, I’m not really cool with that. Also lacking intelligence. There is a certain degree of intelligence required to date and if you don’t reach that, then it’s a little difficult to converse. There are people with different intelligence levels that can match up, but nobody wants to be dating someone with the maturity of a 14 year old. At our age, I hope not.”

Oh SNAP: Fed food money meant for the good stuff New York is proposing a ban on food stamps for soda – a good idea put forth for the wrong reasons C HRIS M IKESELL Senior Staff Writer
Soda fans can rest easy: the government is not banning soft drinks. Just don’t expect the government to buy your soda for you. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. David Paterson issued a proposal earlier this month to the USDA asking if they could keep their state’s food stamp recipients from using their government assistance to buy high-calorie soft drinks. It’s a good idea, but it’s wrapped in warped logic. And it doesn’t help that the proposal’s critics are just as good at missing the point as its supporters are. Those who object to Mayor Bloomberg’s proposal say it will unfairly target and further stigmatize the poor. Some people also favor education as a more viable option to encourage people to drink less soda. But the problem with saying that the government is singling out the poor is that the government isn’t the one doing the selecting. It isn’t as if offi cials are going door to door, checking incomes, and giving people a list of what is permissible to buy based on how much money they make. Instead, people have to apply for help from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNA P). And by apply, I mean they really have to apply themselves to fill out the entire 35 step application form online. This is not an easy or quick process. Even if you get through the entire form, it cannot be submitted online; it must be printed out and mailed to the Hawai‘i
CHRIS MIKESELL / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Members of the Student Organic Farm Training club sell their harvest at a makeshift stand next to the St. John’s Building on Oct. 14. Their fruits and vegetables, like many other cheap and healthy foods, should be subsidized by the SNAP program instead of high-calorie sodas. SNA P office. If it were easier to fill out and submit, the program would probably be able to help even more than the almost 67,000 Hawai‘i households now receiving SNA P assistance. But targeting the poor? It’s more like the process makes it as difficult as possible for the poor to participate. The other objection – that the government should be spending more to educate food stamp recipients on what to eat and what not to eat – is based on the same logic that Mayor Bloomberg uses to justify the proposal. Both sides argue
that the poor are less educated than more affl uent members of society and therefore need guidance on what constitutes good food. Now, there is a grain of truth behind this stereotype. It’s harder to get an education if you don’t have the resources to pay for it, a fact any college student can attest to. But instead of assuming that a poor person is less likely than a rich person to know what constitutes a nutritious diet, the focus should instead be on the fact that unless you’re shopping in Chinatown, healthy foods are generally
going to be more expensive than their processed counterparts. That is the problem that the SNA P program should be addressing in the first place. The reason it isn’t called the “Supplemental Twinkie Assistance Program” is because the government has no business buying your junk food for you. One could argue that there’s little difference between the federal SNAP subsidies for refined sugar on the consumer side of the equation that Bloomberg criticizes, and the federal farm subsidies
for refined sugar production in the corn industry. But it’s a question that few on either side are pursuing because attacking that subsidy amounts to political suicide in states that grow corn. In the end, though, SNA P needs to move in this direction if it’s going to better meet its goal of improving the nutrition of the nation. Overnutrition is just as valid a concern as undernutrition, and the best way for the government to help those who really need it would be to buy them good food instead of bad food.

Shocking to save: Are shock tactics in ad campaigns worth it?
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY JOEL KUTAKA/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Many of the most effective advertisements utilize emotional techniques such as true stories or scarred faces of former users to raise awareness. DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor Campaigns addressing issues such as drug abuse and environmental change must balance the potential benefits of shocking desensitized students with the justification of the scare tactics employed. Cindy Adams, executive director of the Hawai‘i Meth Project, recently spoke to an undergraduate sociology class about the project and how its advertisements’ shock tactics play a key role in
spreading awareness about the dangers of meth. Not everyone, however, is on board. One student raised a concern that children might not be ready for the disfigured and frightening faces of drug abusers that the campaign employs for an older audience. There is also debate over the general effectiveness of scare tactic campaigns, but research indicates that there might be something to them. According to a 2003 article in the Journal of Advertising Research
titled, “Does It Pay to Shock? Reactions to Shocking and Nonshocking Advertising Content among University Students,” it was noted that, “shocking stimuli should facilitate message comprehension and elaboration, enhance message retention, and influence behavior.” This shouldn’t be license to use shock advertisements recklessly. The impact should be both calculated and justifi able. An environmental sustainability advocacy group called 10-10 failed to keep this in mind and demonstrated what happens when shock tactics are carelessly employed. The group created an advertisement where individuals, including children, who were against reducing their carbon emissions by 10 percent were blown to bloody, gruesome bits. It was an unnecessary image for many viewers, and may have actually backfi red in its aims to advocate through shock. The Hawai‘i Meth Project doesn’t show commercials with body parts fl ying through the air, but instead feature the scarred faces of meth abusers. On the radio, you can hear true stories of teenagers that have had their lives torn apart by the deadly and addictive drug. It’s quite clear that where 10-10 was unreasonable, the Hawai‘i Meth Project is more than justified in their actions to help spread awareness about such a crippling narcotic. The tactics employed by a campaign should match the gravity of its message. While environmental sustainability and global carbon emissions should be a subject for concern, their effects are not as sudden or as visible as teenagers degrading themselves to get high. We can imagine the lives torn apart over meth, and thank programs such as the Hawai‘i Meth Project for launching such an ambitious campaign in our local communit y.

’Bows put historic season behind them
FILE PHOTO/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Centerfielder Kelly Majam strikes the ball in the University of Hawai‘i softball team’s 5-4 victory over Lipscomb last season at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. RUSSELL TOLENTINO Sports Editor The Rainbow Wahine soft-
ball team made its first appearance in the Women’s College World Series last season. But that was then, this is now,
and the ’Bows are moving on. “ We’re looking to continue being successful but to not hold last season in our heads because it ’s over with now,” A ll-A merican third baseman Melissa Gonzalez said. “ We just can’t keep looking back to last year. We’re starting a new year.” All-American centerfielder Kelly Majam had a similar response. “It’s hard to put behind what we accomplished last year, but this is a new team,” she said. “The returners know what it took to get (to the WCWS) last year so we need to go out with the same intensity and chemistry (this season).” T he R a inbow Wahine w ill cont inue their fall schedule this week w ith a three -game ser ies aga inst the Div ision I I Chaminade Silverswords. T hey w ill play a single game on Fr iday at 6 p.m. and a double header on Sat urday beginning at 12 p.m. All three games are at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium
and admission is free. The ’Bows lost five seniors from last year’s team, but return 16 letter winners and welcome eight new players. A mong the returning starters are Gonzalez, Majam, senior Jenna Rodriguez (designated hitter), juniors Stephanie R icketts ( pitcher) and A lex Aguirre (left field), and sophomores Jessica Iwata (shortstop) and Kaia Parnaby ( pitcher). Gonzalez said the main thing the team is working on during fall practice is its chemistry. “ We’re still kind of new and our only issue right now is being comfortable with each other on the field,” Gonzalez said. “ With the new players we just need to get used to being together on the field but ever yone’s adjusting really well.” One newcomer to look out for is freshman utility player Jazmine Zamora, who hit .750 with a home run in Hawaii’s doubleheader against Christian
Brothers two weeks ago. “With the holes that we have on the team, it’s been really good that people stepped up and are gonna fi ll those holes,” Majam said. “We’re still looking for starters but these games show who is ready to take spots.” The ’Bows are taking this weekend seriously despite Chaminade being a Div. II school. “It’s not about who we’re playing,” Majam said. “As a team, we’re trying to figure out where we’re at, what we need to improve on, what our strengths and weaknesses are, and also how competitive we can be.” A nd according to Gonzalez, the players are also happy to face another team rather than scrimmage each other. “When we played two weeks ago, we were so excited just to be playing another team,” Gonzalez said. The best part of playing is the competition. It’s real exciting to play and hit off other pitchers from other teams.”

Arnold era set to start
’Bows host Chaminade in exhibition game
JAKE CAMARILLO Senior Staff Reporter
JAKE CAMARILLO Senior Staff Reporter
The University of Hawaiʻi Rainbow Warrior basketball team is ready to kick off their 2010-2011 season, but not before hosting Chaminade in an exhibition game this Saturday. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. UH students get in free with a validated UH Mānoa ID. It is almost a completely new team this year – both in players and coaching staff, including first-year head coach Gib Arnold and ten new players joining the squad. “I only have one player basically that played Division I basketball last year,” Arnold said. “We’re still really new and really young.” Only four players returned from last season’s team as seniors, point guard Hiram Thompson, forward Bill Amis, center Douglas Kurtz, and junior guard Zane Johnson. Thompson is the only returnee that saw signifi cant playing time last year. He started 29 games and led the team in assists (113) and steals (32). Amis and Johnson redshirted last season. Thompson expects a good year for the Rainbow Warriors. “I’m really enjoying it. We have a lot of new guys, everybody’s united and everybody’s on the same page and gets along so we’re excited,” Thompson said. “I honestly think that we can give a shot to win the WAC ( Western Athletic Conference).” One of the top additions to the team this year is A nthony Salter, a junior point guard out of Iowa Western Community College. Last season, Salter ranked as the nation’s top point guard and No. 3 junior college player overall according to R ivals’ JUCO Junction. “I def initely expect to come out and be a leader for this team and improve from last year’s season because we’re going at things a little dif ferently now,” Salter said. “I don’t expect any certain amount of points or this or that. I expect myself to be a leader – that ’s all.” However, Salter is suffering from a minor injury, sporting a cast on his left ankle. He won’t be participating in this weekend’s game against Chaminade.
’Bows want winning season

Senior point guard Hiram Thompson looks to pick up where he left off, having started 29 games of his junior campaign. “It’s not actually that bad, the cast makes it look worse than it actually is,” Salter said. “I partially tore my heel but on Friday I get the cast off and I’ll be cool to practice again.”
After the exhibition against Chaminade, the ’Bows will start the regular season on Nov. 13 in the Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic against Montana State.
The Rainbow Wahine basketball team, just like the men, will open its season with an exhibition game against Chaminade University. The game starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Stan Sheriff Center. UH Mānoa students get in free with a validated UH Mānoa ID. “Every time we have a chance to compete we take it very seriously,” secondyear head coach Dana Takahara-Dias said. “We’re going to work hard to produce a good product out on Thursday.” This year, the ’Bows are looking to improve their 10-20 record from last season. They have 10 players returning from last year’s squad and welcome four new players. “We’re so much farther ahead in the game than we were last year because every one of our players stayed in the summer to work on their game,” TakaharaDias said. “Their commitment during the offseason is really going to be a factor in how we’re going to perform this season.” Senior guard Keisha Kanekoa is one of the key players returning. Last season, she averaged 11.2 points per game, 3.4 rebounds per game and had 105 assists. She is just 140 points away from becoming the 16th player in Rainbow Wahine history to hit the 1,000 point mark. “It feels good, we’re looking pretty good this year,” Kanekoa said. “For the past four or five years, we’ve had a losing season. Obviously we want to win the WAC (Western Athletic Conference), make it to a tournament – we haven’t done that in a long time.” Also on the brink of making history is senior guard Megan Tinnin, who redshirted last season. Two seasons ago, Tinnin started 29 games for the Rainbow Wahine. She’s only 13 3-point baskets shy of breaking the school record of 128 set by former All-American Nani Cockett in 1998. “My main focus is just to win,” Tinnin said. “It’s more about the team than anything else. That’s (the 3-point record) like an added bonus.” “As a team, our goals are to win more games than we lose,” Tinnin continued. “We all need to stay on the same page and all need to be focused and always
