There’s another way iPads can be more cost effective: battery life. “This thing sucks so little power, that’s another consideration,” he said. The average battery life of an iPad is about 10 hours. Traditional comput- ers require a lot of energy, which can affect cost. For example, a class that requires that students have laptops re- wired the classroom so laptops could be charged – at a cost of $40,000. The longer battery life, he said, “changes the way we use technology on campus.” One of the audience members, Dongping Zheng, asked if Apple has collaborative intentions with research institutions. A great deal of iPad deployments are driven by grants, Kekuewa said. “The book- store is our partner on campus,” he said. “If you need to buy Apple products, I suggest the bookstore.” Apple gives money back to the university for Apple products pur- chased there. UH’s bookstore is an authorized Apple seller, which is part of the campus stores pro- gram. This means that it earns “campus development funds” when it sells Apple products.

There’s more to iPads than Angry Birds and other entertainment apps. Last Friday at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Kepano Kekue-wa, an account executive at Apple, discussed ways to use iPads in the classroom. His talk, “Using Apple Mobile Technologies for Language Learning,” attracted about 20 stu-dents and faculty, many toting MacBooks and iPads to take notes on his presentation. His slide show (presented on
an iPad) showed uses for the iPad in different academic settings. Some of the ideas presented were software that can save time, such as notetaking apps that allow stu-dents to record lectures while tak-ing shorthand. Others were more innovative, such as video software for presentations, and software that can translate signs on the wall. “If the concept of a textbook is being transformed, so is the con-cept of the library,” he said.

“Dead men tell no tales, but dead bugs do,” Dr. Daniel Ru-binoff told an audience of about 70 faculty members, staff and stu-dents in a Hamilton Library con-ference room on Sept. 29. Rubinoff, an associate profes-sor of entomology in the plant and environmental protection sciences department and director of the University of Hawai‘i Insect Mu-seum, was the fi rst of two speakers on Thursday. The second speaker was Dr. Tom Ranker, a professor and the chair of the botany depart-ment. The lecture topics were on the importance of UHIM and the Consortium of Pacifi c Herbaria. These lectures were part of a se-ries organized by Karen Kosasa, director of the museum studies graduate program, chair of the UH Museum Consortium and associ-ate professor of American studies. UHIM is an active research museum located in Gilmore Hall. The museum is open to tours by appointment during the work
week. The museum used to be “stacks of cabinets with drawers packed with bugs,” stated Ru-binoff in his lecture, so it was im-portant to upgrade the museum so the insect data could be made more accessible. The museum, founded in 1908, houses over 235,000 speci-mens. Almost all of the speci-mens are from Hawai‘i. A key feature of UHIM is its collection of Hawaiian Drosophila, estimat-ed at over 700 species. Hawaiian Drosophila are not “fruit f lies” and do not infest living fruit; in-stead, many feed on decaying na-tive Hawaiian plant material. UHIM also preserves data on species diversity and distribution. The museum collection was able to show the invasion and retreat of the invasive light-brown apple moth on O‘ahu through a collec-tion of data on specimens from about 100 years ago. The same process was used to illustrate a possible decline of the Kame-hameha butterfl y from Tantalus and other locations across O‘ahu. The fabulous green sphinx
moth (so named for its green thorax and orange antennae) is found only on Kaua‘i. It was thought to be an introduced, non-native species, until historical specimens from UHIM proved otherwise. Other examples of na-tive Hawaiian insect species rep-resented by the museum include the wēkiu bug and Blackburn’s sphinx moth. CPH was presented as a project that aims to make images and data from Polynesian and Micronesian plant specimens available to the world through the cooperation and work of various herbaria across the Pacifi c. A herbarium is “a system-atically arranged collection of dried plants,” according to the New Ox-ford American Dictionary. According to the talk, it is im-portant to collect and record spec-imen data in herbaria to provide knowledge about the time period, natural range, habitat and diver-sity of plant species. This information can be im-portant to the fi elds of agronomy/

forestry, anthropology, archaeology, ecology, entomology, forensics, his-tory, horticulture and pharmaceutical research, as well as determining guide-lines for environmental regulation, conservation and restoration. A key to herbaria is plant systemat-ics, which can be broken down into tax-onomy, nomenclature, phylogeny and classifi cation. Luca Ghini established the fi rst herbarium in the 1500s. Now there are over 4,000 herbaria in over 165 countries that collectively house 2.5-3 billion specimens. The Polynesian/Micronesian di-versity hotspot contains an estimated 5,340 species of native plants. The av-erage endemism (referring to species found nowhere else on Earth) of the hotspot is 57 percent. Hawai‘i has 90 percent vascular plant endemism. The UH Mānoa herbarium is named in honor of Joseph F. Rock, an Austrian-American botanist, and is located in the St. John Plant Sciences Laboratory building.

health risksASHLEY WOOD
Contributing Writer In the age of digital technol-ogy, gadgets are hot commodi-ties, but they can cause pain and injury if not used properly. All that button pushing and cellphone chatting can take a physical toll and result in an ar-ray of cramps, muscle tension and even bacterial infections.
LAPTOPS Unlike their desktop counter-parts, laptops have enabled peo-ple to access email, documents, music and images whenever and wherever. But this convenience can have its consequences. Laptops can be the cause of neck and upper-back problems because, as the name implies, people sit with laptops on their laps. This causes hunched shoul-ders and angled necks, accord-
ing to the Better Health Channel. “I don’t think many young peo-ple are aware that their posture and repetitive movements can cause them to injure themselves,” said Cherie Reeves, an occupa-tional therapist at Honolulu’s Kai-ser Permanente Medical Center. Awkward body positions, in turn, can lead to a greater risk of carpal tunnel syndrome, vision problems and joint pains. Repeti-tive actions often result in muscle and tendon inflammation, caus-ing pain in the neck, back, hands and shoulders.
SMARTPHONES People use their phones to sync their calendars, music, in-formation and social networking, creating a one-stop shop for ev-erything at their fi ngertips. How-ever, fast-paced thumb choreogra-phy can cause cramping. “Repeatedly stretching your thumbs to reach keys can result in soreness and pain,” said Reeves. “So it ’s a good idea to rest and stretch after awhile.” Texting has also led to an in-

Repetitive stress injuries to the thumbs because of electronics overuse are often informally referred to as “BlackBerry thumb.”

crease in De Quervain’s tenosyno-vitis, a condition where the tendons that pull the thumb away from the fi ngers (into the “hitchhiking” posi-tion) become infl amed and irritated, making it painful to pinch, grasp, or perform other thumb movements.
E -READERS AND TABLETS Fairly new to the marketplace, e-readers and tablets serve as an alternative to books, but also of-fer features of Internet browsing, video chatting and data storage. “I use an iPad for school, so I usually have it propped up and use the touch-screen feature on it,” said Alice Cheung, an art major.
She also mentioned that, as a re-sult, there have been times where her wrists have started to hurt. “I get so caught up in what I’m doing [on the iPad] that I don’t realize that I’m straining myself.” As more people spend time absorbed in some form of enter-tainment media, such as Kindles and iPads, there is a concern about vision health as well. Eye strain of-ten results from poor lighting, so it would be best to use devices in well-lit rooms or outside. MP3 PLAYERS Listening to music at a high volume can cause hearing loss, but warnings may be falling on deaf ears, according to a study by the Journal of the American Medi-cal Association. Hearing loss has increased by 30 percent among those aged 12 -19 between 1994 and 2006. Today, one in fi ve U.S. adolescents between 12 and 19 years old has some degree of hearing loss. Additionally, the earphones and wireless headsets that people use can harbor bacteria and fungus. “A warm and moist environment like your ear can cause germs to build,” said Frederick Henry, a doctor in internal medicine at Honolulu’s Kai-ser Permanente Medical Center. By sealing the canal, wax can accumulate and lead to temporary hearing loss. “Swabbing the earpiece with alcohol once a day would be a good way to prevent the harvest of germs,” said Henry. “But this prin-ciple should also be applied to other electronic devices, because they all are breeding grounds for bacteria and can cause infections if they have the opportunity to enter the body.” Although there is a growing selection of technological devices, avoiding injuries is important to us-ing the gadgets to their full potential. “The best solution is prevention,” Henry said. “Know your limit. If you feel strain or pain, stop and rest.”

As students, we expect a lot from our university, including the basic cleanliness and maintenance of our campus. Few envisioned that things such as cockroaches, leaking ceilings, droves of feral cats and rusted, unstable handrails would become part of their col-lege experience. With the amount we spend on tuition, shouldn’t our school be better equipped to deal with these basic issues?
This photo, taken outside of Frear along the walkway, shows the amount of trash that collects along the fence. Unlike issues pictured in past submissions, keeping our campus clean of trash is not only a responsibility of the administration, but of the students. With numerous trash cans throughout the uni-versity, there is no excuse for the amount of litter on our campus. As students, we should help keep
our campus clean by making sure all of our gar-bage ends up where it should. Most people walk past litter and expect thatit will be cleaned up by someone else. We needto change this way of thinking and begin viewingpicking up trash as common courtesy, similar toholding a door open for someone. Only then willwe see a substantial decrease in the amount oflitter across campus.

NISHI MON CHO RAMEN
Let’s be straight: Nishi Mon Cho is
cheap and you get a lot of food for what
you pay. As with most ramen shops,
they offer a combination package. For
around $8, you can get a bowl of shoyu
ramen, beef stew, and gyoza. There is
nothing special about this place, but
that doesn’t make it bad. Nishi Mon
Cho is quick bus ride away from cam-
pus at M noa Market Place, it ’s cheap,
and it ’s oishii (delicious).

There’s late, there’s fashionably late, and then there’s unjustifi ably late. This past week, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah proudly announced the news that women in Saudi Ara-bia will fi nally be granted the right to vote in municipal elections. The announcement arrives with bittersweet undertones be-cause this isn’t what it appears to be. Women’s suffrage in Saudi Ara-bia is a double-edged sword, and there is absolutely no reason to cel-ebrate this news. Abdullah promised that women will be able to vote the next time local elections are due: in 2015. Yet this kind gesture results in zero change in Saudi citizens’ – male or female – reality. First and foremost, the local elections will be used for local councils. Elections for these spots were fi rst held in 2005, and the councils serve only as an advisory body to the next level up in govern-ment, the provincial governments. In other words, Saudi women will fi nally be able to vote in elections for local councils that enjoy no legisla-tive powers whatsoever. It should also be understood that the open council positions only represent 50 percent of the council’s entirety. The other 50 percent of the council is appointed. On the provin-
cial level, King Abdullah has made government a family business. All the provincial leaders are related to the king and certainly will always work to protect the current power structure, thus following nature’s number one rule: self-preservation. Saudi Arabia’s population is a bit over 27 million. This election cycle, there were 1.2 million Saudi men registered to vote – 4.4 percent of the population. The turnout was an even smaller fraction of this already pathetic 4.4 percent. No Saudi elec-tions take place on the regional or national level. In other words, why would even the most affl uent men of Saudi Arabia want to vote in a point-less charade of an election? But the circus doesn’t stop there. Even if we accept that there is a for-life leader in place, with every other imaginable powerful government position being occu-pied by a close family member, we still haven’t even begun to analyze the daily life and overall quality of life for an average Saudi citizen. To start, Saudi women cannot operate a vehicle in the country; it is illegal. This past week brought the “good news” of the voting announcement, but two days later a woman was sentenced to 10 lashes for driving in public, although the king over-turned the sentence. Women can-not go out in public without a male “guardian,” usually her husband,
brother or other close family mem-ber. The punishment to walk alone in public is lashing. Public lashings are not the only form of medieval law enforcement on display; stoning and beheading are also very 21st century for Saudis. Saudi Arabia has no legally binding constitution. Sharia, religious law, is in full ef-fect. Thieves may have their hands physically chopped off. It should be noted here that Saudi Arabia enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Polygamy is totally accept-able for Saudi men, and as many as four wives are allowed by law. In le-gal realms, the testimony of a man in court has the judicial weight of the testimony of two women. A Saudi man can divorce one or more of his wives on a whim, whereas it has be-come bureaucratically impossible for a woman in Saudi Arabia to request the dissolution of a marriage, even if there is abundant proof of a husband’s abuse or mistreatment of his wife. Saudi Arabia is steeped in re-ligious tradition and is somewhat obligated to carry out the role as an ultra-conservative nation, thus serving as an example for neighbor-ing countries to follow. Given this, it should not be such a surprise to see Saudi Arabia fall back and stick with what has always worked best. Don’t let the “women’s right to vote” announcement deceive you into thinking anything different.
Saudi Arabia: better late than never?

Dear wheel-less community, I am taking this opportunity for a reintroduction: Hello, we are the wheeled community. We are the ones riding around cam-pus on bicycles, skateboards, scooters and various other wheeled vehicles. How are you? How was the summer? Good, I hope. I’m glad we could catch up – now, down to business. There is tension mounting between our two communities. I know many of you are jeal-ous. You see us effortlessly glid-ing down the sidewalk and stop to stare at our majesty. But rid-ing is a lot harder than it looks. Each second requires constant attention and planning, watch-ing for cracks in the sidewalk, big rocks, cars and, most impor-tantly, you. Believe it or not, we really do care about making sure we do not hit you.
Having said that, accidents happen. Maybe we get caught off guard, or you step in a dif fer-ent direction than we anticipat-ed, or maybe you are too busy listening to your iPod to notice that someone else is using the sidewalk. Or maybe running into you is more favorable than running into a car. An incident like this happened to me last week. It was wet, which makes sidewalks slick and causes skateboard wheels to lose their grip. A wheel-less was sidestepping another student when I was getting ready to pass. I ditched the board and narrowly missed the student. I apologized; she swore at me. I feel that kind of reaction is unwarranted, and I cannot help but notice a growing resentment against the wheeled. This semester, new yel-low signs appeared on campus walkways saying “WALK YOUR WHEELS.” I have noticed these primarily around McCarthy Mall
and the walkway from Campus Center to the parking structure. This measure is to make sure that incidents do not occur and that everyone has plenty of room on the sidewalks to get from class to class. But people forget that most people who ride have great dis-tances to travel. Some cyclists are coming from off-campus housing. And have you ever had 15 minutes to get from the architecture school to the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies? I am here to offer a compro-mise: We will pay attention if you pay attention. We can share the sidewalk. But remember, the wheel-less have a distinct advantage over the wheeled in your all -terrain ability. You can walk on the grass, up and down stairs, and on narrow walkways that no wheeled person could hope to access. We have to stick to the walkways.

The Warrior golf team is led by a freshman – well, sort of. Freshman Ryan Kuroiwa (‘Aiea ’11) led Hawai‘i in the St. Mary’s Invitational, the team’s fi rst tournament of the season. Kuroiwa shot rounds of 79, 71 and 75 to fi n-ish in the 30th spot overall. “It ’s been good,” head coach Ronn Miyashiro said on Kuroi-wa’s play. “Obviously there’s go-ing to be an adjustment period from high school to Division I. He’s taken on that challenge re-ally well, and he’s performed. As long as he’s progressing and do-ing the right things, he’ll pan out to be a really good player for us.” While the team’s leading golf-er the past three seasons, senior
T.J. Kua, fi nished as the Warriors’ third golfer, Kuroiwa acknowl-edged that he still looks up to Kua as the leader of the team. “It felt good to play good,” Ku-roiwa said. “[But] I don’t see my-self as the best. I just wanted to play my best. I just didn’t want to let down the team. “I look up to him [Kua]. He’s all around a great guy. I still see him as the leader of the team.” Hawai‘i fi nished the St. Mary’s Invitational in ninth place out of 15 teams. This was a dras-tic improvement from last sea-son – when Hawai‘i’s best fi nish in a tournament with 15 or more teams was 15th place. “There is room for improve-ment,” Miyashiro said. “The fi nish was encouraging, but we would like it a little higher. The expec-
tations for the players are a little higher as well. There’s a lot that we can work off of that tournament and move forward to the next one.”
UP NEXT Hawai‘i will head to State-line, Nev., to play in this week’s Wolf Pack Classic, hosted by the University of Nevada. The tourna-ment will take place at the Edge-wood Tahoe Golf Course, which plays to a par-72 measuring 7,445 yards. Competing alongside the Warriors are Denver, Fresno State, Loyola Marymount, Sacra-mento State, San Diego, San Jose State, Santa Clara, St. Mary’s, The University of Texas at El Paso, Washington State and Wyoming. The Warriors fi nished last season’s Wolf Pack Classic in 15th place after shooting rounds of 311
and 301. The fi nal round of the tournament was canceled due to dangerous weather conditions. “It ’s a beautiful golf course right on the lake [Tahoe],” Mi-yashiro said. “Hopefully we have better weather. Last year we had lightning, and it started to hail actually. The golf course is very scoreable if you do the right things and put yourself in the right positions.”
PREPARING FOR THE WORST Golf is an outdoor sport that requires players to bear the ele-ments, no matter what they may be. The temperature in Stateline is expected to be in the 50s, with the low hovering around 35. “It ’s rough,” Miyashiro said. “You can always prepare for rain – we get rain here. The cold you
can’t prepare for. It ’s something that you have to adapt to quickly once you’re there.” The Wolf Pack Classic will start with a 36-hole fi rst day, fol-lowed by an 18-hole second day. So if the weather isn’t picture per-fect, the Warrior golf team has to deal with an 11-hour day battling Mother Nature. “The two-round day is a mara-thon,” Miyashiro said. “There’s not one sport out there that makes you focus and grind for 11 hours straight. That’s why we condition four days a week. That’s where your mental preparation [comes in], be-ing able to pace yourself through-out the day knowing that you’re go-ing to be out there for that long and knowing that you’re going to need some energy down the stretch, both physically and mentally.”
