UH makes bid for Obama library DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is competing with the University of Chicago over a bid to construct a presidential library for President Barack Obama. The team that UH Mānoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw has assembled are looking for areas to build the library. They are also meeting with different chartered student organizations on campus and met with the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) on Tuesday, Nov. 16. Chancellor Hinshaw said, “(this bid) is one where you need to get organized, and if you’re going to be ready you need to organize years ahead.” Some feel that the construction of an Obama library could bring benefits to Hawai‘i.

Thanksgiving: deadliest holiday of the year? ROAD FUN / FLICKR
M AY SALCEDO Staff Writer
With 502 traffic casualties in 2008, Thanksgiving is the most dangerous holiday to be out on the road according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But not for the reason you think. Many people believe that turkey makes people lethargic because of the amino acid L tr yptophan. However, scientists have found otherwise. It is commonly believed that L -tr yptophan, an amino acid found in turkey, has sedative effects on people. L -tr yptophan is absorbed into the bloodstream via the digestive system and travels to the brain where it is transformed into seratonin, a chemical that induces relaxation and sleepiness. A lthough turkey contains .333 grams of L -tr yptophan per 100 -gram edible portion, only some of that makes its way to the brain, which is below the 500 -3000 grams needed to induce sleepiness. The point of the matter is, the bird alone cannot induce sleepiness, and thus puts an end to the “turkey” myth.
In order to induce sleepiness, L -tr yptophan must be taken alone, in the absence of other chemicals that will compete with it, and on an empty stomach. “ Tr yptophan doesn’t work well in the presence of proteins,” stated Ph.D. sleep specialist Michael Breus on http://w w w. webmd.com. In fact, L -tr yptophan was given as supplement to patients suffering from sleep disorders and depression, but was later banned by the Food and Drug Administration because of its association to a fatal disease called Eosinophillic-myalgia. Fear not; tr yptophan found naturally in chicken, eggs, nuts, turkey and other foods is safe. So what really makes you snooze after a holiday meal? Gorging oneself with all the food you can get your hands on is the culprit. Eating large quantities of any food high in sugar, such as cranberr y sauce, stuffing and candied yams leads to an aftermeal “kanak-attack.” A n article by A licia Mae Prater on http://w w w.suite101. com suggests that the “kanakattack ” occurs because the increased blood sugar leads to the production of insulin.

sulin causes the drop in blood sugar producing the sedative ef fect af ter a large meal. T he tired feeling is also triggered as blood f lows away from the brain to aid in digestion. Couple that with a few glasses of beer and you’re in for a double whammy of grogginess. According to MSNBC re porter Hannah Elliot, since T hanksgiving is a highly celebrator y event, the leading cause of car accidents is the increase of intoxicated drivers on the road. Adults bet ween the ages of 21-24 have the highest risk of driving intoxicated. Since peo ple are usually traveling from one place to another for the holiday, either to get home or shop for Black Friday, roadways are increasingly more crowded, which leads to higher chances of accidents. Since the holidays are full of activity and sugar-high foods, the likelihood of seratonin-high people on the road escalates. Add that to congested traffic, people rushing home for the holidays and drivers with high blood alcohol concentrations, and you’ve any number of ways to end up in bad shape.
The closer we get to the end of November, the closer we get to Thanksgiving, but if you grew up with year after year of the same old sage-scented holiday bird, there’s a chance you might just be sick of the traditional turkey treatments. The key is in the wet rub - don’t think Thanksgiving. Think carnitas . . .

Make sure to take extra precautions this T hanksgiving. Stay of f the road as much as possible by staying at home or sleeping over at a family member’s or friend’s house. Before feasting, eat small portions throughout the day and tr y take a walk after the big meal to increase blood f low to the brain. Make responsible choices and be aware of the amount of alcohol you consume. A lso, be aware that traffic will be heav y on Thanksgiving weekend. So stay safe and don’t end up as another statistic. Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble, gobble!

NIK SEU/KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Shopping malls like Ala Moana Center regularly set up their Christmas decorations as early as a week before Thanksgiving
E THAN PORTER Staff Columnist Thanksgiving week is my favorite week of the year. Families big and small gather together, eat food, play games, and talk story with those they have not seen for a long time. I love it. How could my bibadees get in a knot this week? It all started when I was out walking last week. I found myself surrounded by a number of shops, decorated in red and green, with images of fir trees and artificial snow. Another store displayed a sign that proudly claimed, “The Christmas savings start November 1st!” Christmas is coming, and it’s not even Thanksgiving. I can understand that the stores want to make a profit. Everyone is having a hard time economically. But I think we are slowly destroying the best holiday that is celebrated by the
American culture. The Puritan Pilgrims in Massachusetts celebrated the fi rst Thanksgiving in 1621. The Pilgrims were having a particularly hard time growing crops and it did not look like they were going to last the winter. The Wampanoag, a tribe of Native Americans living nearby, brought the Pilgrims food and taught them how to farm in the short New England summers. Through the Wampanoag’s simple act, which I like to think of as a perfect example of true aloha, we are reminded to give thanks to those who feed us, and we should be grateful for what we have. What a beautiful sentiment. But beautiful sentiments do not make money. The next day, commonly referred to as “Black Friday,” thousands of people swarm shops looking for deals for Christmas gifts. Hundreds of people camp
outside of malls and mega stores so that they can be fi rst in line for savings. In less than 24 hours, we go from giving thanks for what we have to not having enough. That is why, like my fellow pundits, I am entering the War on Christmas and accepting a commission in the Thanksgiving Militia. From what I can see, the Christmas Forces have gained considerable ground, leaving my holiday in enemy territory. My first duty will be to meet with the upper command of the Halloween Army, which is deeply entrenched on their border. Christmas has already made holes in the line, and the Halloween Army is losing morale, despite their creative costumes. We hope that by combining forces, we may have enough manpower to drive Christmas back into December. We want you in the Thanksgiving Militia.

Tournament marathon continues for ’Bows JAKE CAMARILLO Senior Staff Reporter
With only five days of rest after a second-place finish in the Jack in the Box Rainbow Wahine Classic, the University of Hawaii women’s basketball team (2-1) will compete in another tournament. The Waikiki Beach Marriott Rainbow Wahine Showdown begins Friday at the Stan Sheriff Center. This eight-team tournament features North Carolina, Washington State, Illinois, Long Beach State, Gonzaga, Mississippi, North Carolina Central and host Hawaii. “ We’re looking forward to the eight-team tournament, and the type of caliber of teams that are coming in is just phenomenal,” head coach Dana Takahara-Dias said. “ These games that we play in the non-conference are to prepare us for the WAC ( Western Athletic Conference), and that’s why we’re grateful to play 14 teams that saw postseason action last year (this season).” The Rainbow Wahine open with North Carolina Central at 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. After the fi rst tournament,
senior guard Megan Tinnin saw things for the ’Bows to work on for the next games. “ Turnovers, not getting scared and freaking out under pressure, and staying together,” Tinnin said. In the final game of the Rainbow Wahine Classic against Oregon State, Tinnin crept up on the school’s total 3 -point re cord. She hit four shots from long range, and is four short of breaking the record of 128 set by former Rainbow Wahine Nani Cockett in 1998. “To be honest, I don’t even want to think about it; it’s a great accomplishment in my time here, but an even better accomplishment is winning,” Tinnin said. “Breaking the record is a good thing, something I want to accomplish, but I’m not thinking about it. We can stay on other things.” Junior forward Breanna Arbuckle was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, averaging 14.3 points, 6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. However, she still sees room for improvement. “You can’t be perfect all the time. There’s always room for improvements, you can improve on everything, but we did good,” Arbuckle said.
The ’Bows are working on their offense and defense to make sure that they have a better season than last year. “On offense, we always talk about rhythm and chemistry,” Takahara-Dias said. “We’re deeper this year than we ever have been before and we can substitute different combinations. But still, there’s so many things to work on.” Turnovers were a big prob lem in the R ainbow Wahine Classic. T hey had 24 against Cal State Northridge, 23 against Eastern Michigan and 19 against Oregon State. Technically, defense is what gave the ’Bows a second place finish. They were in a three way tie for first place, but the championship was decided by the team that allowed the least amount of points. Oregon State allowed 130 points overall, followed by Hawaii (190) and Eastern Michigan (194). “We’re working hard on defense, but I do believe right now we’re not anywhere near where we need to be at that competitive stage,” Takahara-Dias said. “ This has been a great tune-up for us as we prepare for next weekend and we’ve got a lot of games in ten days.”

Warrior showdown in the desert K IYOMI UEDA Senior Staff Reporter
As the semester comes to an end, so does the Warrior Football team’s regular season. The Warriors have two games left in the regular season before they play a Conference USA team on December 24 in the Sheraton Hawai`i Bowl. After last weekend’s 41-7 victory over San Jose State, the Warriors enter this week’s game against New Mexico State with the chance to match a conference record they have only achieved twice in school history. If the Warriors win in Las Cruces, N.M. this weekend, they will be 7-1 in the Western Athletic Conference - the second best conference record in school history.
A 7-1 record would also earn the Warriors a share of the Western Athletic Conference title if the Nevada Wolfpack can upset Boise State on Friday. “I’d cheer for Nevada all the
