Why is it important to bring government leaders to town for the Asia-Pacific Economic Coop-eration? A group of University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students have launched “APEC 101,” a blog to answer this and other common questions about APEC. The blog was named to de-scribe the simplicity of its content, which reaches out to APEC begin-ners with no background knowl-edge about the upcoming forum, which is designed to capitalize on the growing interdependence of Asia-Pacifi c economies. “The blog is light, readable

material that is easy, simple and short, with pictures and videos so that it is not too dry,” said Ashley Aitken, the senior economics ma-jor who came up with the blog’s name. “Anyone can have a quick glimpse of what will be happening in November, and this blog will be an introduction.” Aitken is currently an intern in the lieutenant governor’s of-fi ce. The students involved in “APEC 101” also intern with orga-nizations that work with APEC. Denise Eby Konan, econom-ics professor and chair, created an internship program to in-crease student involvement in APEC. This event, the first APEC summit to be held in the United

States since 1993, will be the largest international event in the state’s history. “There are quite a lot of op-portunities that APEC meetings will bring, and different kinds of talents are needed. One thing we’ve been doing in context of APEC has been researching all of our Hawai‘i connections to the APEC economies,” said Konan. “Students are getting awareness of these substantial and impres-sive aspects of APEC. They are learning some life skills that are hard to teach in the classrooms.” Senior Nicole Cacal, who is majoring in fi nance and interna-tional business with a minor in economics, is currently an intern

for the Economic Research Orga-nization at UH, known as UHE-RO, which informs public and private-sector decision making through economic research. “It is great being an intern to work in global initiative, doing any little things I can to be part of this be-cause it may not happen in Hawai‘i again in my lifetime,” she said. “I wouldn’t have had the same grasp that I have on APEC without this internship. Hopefully, we will bring more business and more recognition to the state.” Cacal, who is responsible for the organization of the blog, said, “I thought people would be interested

in a perspective from the student interns themselves, how we learn and what we do. We are starting from the ground up, so as we talk about what we learn ... in turn, we want our community to learn from us.” “This is the best place to start, to learn what APEC is about or what UH is doing,” said Olga Bo-gach, a Ph.D. student in econom-ics and a graduate assistant to Konan. Bogach was a coordinator for the APEC Student Internship Program and assists with UH APEC-related projects. “The main role of the university is to educate the public on important aspects of APEC and the effect APEC will have on the state. This blog is a way to learn in an accessible way.”

The blog dates back to the spring semester of 2011, where students in the APEC econo-mies research class developed the briefing materials for APEC countries, short discussions of issues in each participating economy. These materials were shared on the UHERO website, which caught the attention of nonprofit entities such as the 2011 Hawai‘i APEC Host Com-mittee. Now, the briefing mate-rials developed by the students have become the training kit for all APEC volunteers. “We at the university are the ones taking a lead on the key is-sues of APEC, and we put that to the students to be developing and researching this. This is

helping us to hold together our experts in the topic, and we are really counting on the students to be leading that effort for the whole state,” said Konan, who is also a senior advisor on APEC for UH President M.R.C. Green-wood. “As it ’s turning out, we are a source of knowledge for Hawai‘i’s community.”

UH fi nance major steps into business world by launching

novel websiteDAVID TERAOKA

Staff Writer

Gary “Kai” Alcazaren is a 24-year-old fi nance major in his senior year at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business. But his focus was not always business – he was originally a pre-med student because he want-ed to help people. Although he found that medi-cine “wasn’t my calling ... it showed me indirectly what I want to do with my life.” He realized he always en-joyed making things “work.” He returned to his original goal of helping people, but as an entrepreneur. “People have this image in their head that business is very cutthroat, lucrative ... at the expense of someone else, but that isn’t always the case,” he said. Although he was still in school, he decided to dive right into the business world. He launched a website, lastone4the-

day.com, which works with local businesses to give away prizes such as Red Bull, food, or even surfi ng lessons. The website’s premise is sim-ple. “You log onto the website, las-tone4theday.com, then you leave a comment about a product we have ... and if you’re the last one [to comment] for the day, you win,” said Alcazaren. He plans to expand the num-ber of deals offered on the site by increasing traffi c. He believes that the possibility of combining deals would be limitless. “Right before lunch, you can have burgers, af-ter that two free surfi ng lessons, and right after that maybe two en-trance tickets to a club,” he said. So what sets lastone4theday.com apart from other social com-merce websites? “Most social web-sites offer 50 percent off, and what-ever remains, you [businesses] split it with the site and merchant, and so you lose money,” Alcazaren said. He also pointed out that web-sites like Groupon or Daily Deals are often used by customers who are already regulars, so local businesses do not see a signifi -cant increase in traffi c. “So, that’s

what we hope to change. We don’t charge them anything, and we all work for the same goal, which is to get more traffi c,” Alcazaren said. Alcazaren grew up travel-ing, and although he moved from California to Hawai‘i four years ago, he has a hard time deciding where he calls home. “At what place do you choose where you’re really from?” he said, laughing. “Most people instantly can say, ‘I’m from here,’ but I’ve had equal number of years in each place I lived in ... it’s one of my problems. “This is my way to be part of the community,” he said. “To pro-mote the local economy and just keep it alive.” Other students can start proj-ects as well. As a student entrepre-neur, Alcazaren strongly advises that other students learn how to use time wisely. He fi nds time between classes and homework to work by staying away from to-do lists – instead, he simply “does it.” He also advises that students work to fi nd their calling. “Figure out what you’re good at, because you don’t have all the time in the world,” Alcazaren said. “Make your days count.”

Yo, UH Students... Want to Win a Moped ?

NICK WEBSTER

Special Issues Editor

On the night of July 28, a musical duo comprised of two former University of Hawai‘i Mānoa students made its debut at Nextdoor. It was no average f irst performance. The elec-tro-rock duo Shark vs. Squid, opened for New York hip -hop group Das Racist in front of over 200 attendees. The “Shark” of the duo is vo-calist and guitarist Justin Nich-olson (stage name Justin James), originally of Denver, Colo., and a 2010 UH Mānoa graduate. “Squid” is vocalist, keyboardist and live au-dio engineer Steven Lynch (stage name Lock), a 2006 graduate of Moanalua High School and former UH Mānoa music student. Thanks to both members’ reputations in the local music scene and a solid opening at Nextdoor, the band is picking up fans and shows at a rapid pace, including a show at Mercury Bar this Saturday. The guys sat down earlier this week to talk about their new collaboration.

Q: Can you describe your musical background?

Justin – I’ve been in bands since I was 13. I experienced touring, got addicted, and joined my next band specifi cally to go on tour. I joined a grindcore band that toured half the country. Then I moved to Hawai‘i and joined the band Ctrl Alt Delete. I’d say we were the fi rst to bring the electro-rock sound to the islands. Lock – I did everything in high school; I was in every type of band. I was always involved in rock music as well, but had a very classical back-ground. I originally went to UH to study music composition, but then I got into the electronic music scene and dropped out for a while. Eventual-ly, I’m going to try to go back to UHM and get an EE degree, and UH West O‘ahu is supposed to start a bach-elor’s program in Audio Engineer-

ing, so I’m hoping to do that as well.

Q: What made you start playing music?

Justin – Jimi Hendrix made me want to play guitar. My dad had this live Woodstock album and I heard him play the national anthem and wanted to fi gure out how he did it. I started listening to guitar players from bands like Metallica a lot, too. Lock – The fi rst band I ever re-member listening to was Jimmie’s Chicken Shack. I ended up getting into Rage Against the Machine and other bands that had things to say.

Q: How did the band form?

Justin – I knew Lock, he’s an awesome recording engineer. We both had very similar musical aspi-rations. He’s really good at rhythm, and I’m really good at melody, so we really fi t. We realized that and have been making music since.

Q: I have to ask, how’d you come up with the name?

Lock – [Pointing at the shark and squid hanging from the ceil-ing] Sitting here! Justin – I got kind of pushed into the Das Racist show. We weren’t really ready. We didn’t have a name, and the promoter called me and said he was printing the fl yer, and needed a name. I was sitting in this room and I looked up and said, ‘Squid vs. Shark.’ Then we found another band

was called Squid vs. Shark, and we changed it to Shark vs. Squid.

Q: How would you describe your style?

Lock – Indie-Electro Dance-Rock is what I’ve been telling everyone. Justin – As a musician, it’s hard for me to defi ne what kind of music we play. I can’t put a label on it.

Q: Last question - if you could share the stage with one band, who would it be?

Justin – I would defi nitely take the cast that sang “We are the World.” It was back in the 80s. I’d love to play a show with all those douchebags. Just kidding, but I’d love to open for RATATAT. Lock – Hands down, it would be really cool to open for Does It Offend You, Yeah? I’ve talked to their keyboardist, and he said if they ever go on an Asia tour, they’d totally stop here and play with us.

SHOW INFORMATION: When: Saturday, Sept. 4. Doors open at 9:30 p.m., Shark vs. Squid takes the stage at 12:15 a.m.Where: Mercury Bar, 1154 FortStreet Mall #10Cost: Free

ANALIESE DANNER

Contributing Writer

When you imagine a career in health, the professions that most commonly come to mind are doctor, nurse and maybe a veterinarian. Sound familiar? It may seem as if there are only a couple of routes to choose from when starting a career in the health field. The truth is, in a society that is becoming increas-ingly conscious about health, wellness and fitness, there are a myriad of career opportunities. America’s focus on health is due to a combination of health-care reform, a rise in the occur-rence of disease, and a growing

obesity epidemic. However, an increasing number of medical researchers and professionals are emphasizing the need for a shift from traditional medicine – which aims to treat or cure al-ready present symptoms – to a preventative care method, where measures are taken to prevent disease from developing in the first place by recognizing the early signs of ill health. This greater focus on health calls for our generation to create new jobs in the health industry by combining traditional tech-niques with newly developed ones. While they are admirable and promising careers, the med-school or nursing-school

route may not be the appropri-ate choice for responding to our communities’ needs. So where does that lead you? Do some research on up-and-coming job opportunities in the health field, and don’t overlook something just because it looks unfamiliar. Some of today’s fast-est-growing careers are ones you may have never heard of and could easily dismiss, such as a biogerontology. Biogeron-tologists are scientists who study what happens to the body as it ages, conducting vital research to aid medical professionals in preventative care. Another option is becoming a dietician, a registered profes-sional who focuses on the impact that food has on health, disease and aging. If the authority of a doctoral title appeals to you, re-search naturopathic doctors, who focus on overall wellness using natural, non-invasive remedies. According to the World Health Organization, these ca-reers are just a few of many that are expanding rapidly in the health industry. Take some time to research health careers that are off the beaten path, and choose the road less traveled. Apply at a local health food store to obtain first-hand information on foods and nutrition, and network with co-workers who may have more ex-perience in your field. If you don’t have time for a job, conduct your own basic re-search by asking your friends and classmates how they feel about their health and what they think could be done to promote a thriving community. With the uncertain pros-pects of today’s economy and the shortage of job opportunities available to new college gradu-ates, it is imperative that we use our heads and our skills to create jobs that we believe will benefit our society.

After 33 years, the University of Hawai‘i football team is headed into its fi nal season in the West-ern Athletic Conference. Fresh off a share of the confer-ence championship last year, the Warriors are picked as preseason favorites to repeat as WAC champs before migrating to the Mountain West Conference in 2012. The ‘Bows have raised their goals to lofty heights this season. “If we stay healthy, and are able to win when times get tough,” said offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich, “I think we have the ability to win every game, if we really play great.” With the departure of rival Boise State to the MWC, Hawai‘i is left with no preseason ranked opponents, making the idea of an-other undefeated season seem not so crazy.

RUNNING THE OFFENSE In order for the Warriors to go undefeated, they will have to rely heavily on the right arm of senior quarterback Bryant Moniz. The Wahiawā native led the nation in passing last season with 360 yards per game, total offense with 367.3 yards per game and passing touchdowns, with 39. “Mighty Mo” has been named to the watch lists for the Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Davey O’Brien Award, and Manning Award, as well as being named to HeismanPundit.com’s Watch List. Two of Moniz’s top receivers from last year, Greg Salas and Ke-aloha Pilares, are now playing on Sundays in the National Football League, but his timing with their

replacements shouldn’t suffer. Junior Miah Ostrowski and sophomore Billy Ray Stutzmann take over as the slot receivers this year, and Moniz has built a rap-port with them since day one. “Mo [Moniz] got his start quicker than those two, but they were all here kind of at the same time,” said Rolovich. “They kind of grew up together. He feels good about those guys. I think he knows their body language, he knows what they like and that’s defi nitely a benefi t.” Ostrowski, Stutzmann and the rest of the receivers had some heated battles in camp with the Warriors’ secondary this summer, led by senior cap-tain Richard Torres.

ON THE DEFENSIVE S IDE Junior college transfer Mike Edwards gained the respect of his teammates through his play at cornerback during camp. “He had a pretty decent spring, but he made a huge jump from spring ball to fall camp,” said Torres. “He really put him-self in position to be a starter, and now he is a starting corner.” Since last spring, Torres has been working on his communication between his teammates on defense. “We’re getting better at it,” said Torres. “It was kind of hard in the beginning, but now we’re start-ing to get a feel for one another.” Building team unity was para-mount this offseason for the War-riors on both sides of the ball. “With so much loss as far as seniors, it was really a focus to build team chemistry,” said Rolov-ich. “The personal relationships, the bonds, because I really be-lieve that’s what puts the offense at another level.”

The Warriors will kick off their 2011 campaign in the na-tional spotlight against new Pac-12 member Colorado tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. at Aloha Stadium. In its fi rst of three nation-ally televised games on the ESPN family of networks this year, the University of Hawai‘i will seek re-venge against a team that got the better of it last season. “We got a little sour taste in our mouth from last year,” said senior safety Richard Torres. “That one really hurt us because we were on fi re – the way we end-ed the game just wasn’t us.”

After a 10-0 Hawai‘i lead at halftime, the Buffaloes came storming back in the second half,

fi nishing the game 31-13. “It was really disappointing,” said Torres. “It stung a little bit, so we kind of want to sting them back.”

THE NATIONAL SPOTL IGHT Recently, the Warriors haven’t shown up on national television. Last year they lost

all three nationally televised games to USC, Boise State, and Tulsa by a combined score of 153-78. The Warriors can’t explain their letdowns in the spotlight last year, but they aren’t nervous about the attention. “It ’s just another game,” said of fensive coordinator Nick Rolovich. “I f we are worried about T V cameras, I think our focus is wrong.”

THE OPPONENT Colorado comes into Aloha Stadium having dropped its last 17 away games. The last game the Buffaloes won on the road was a 31-26 victory over Texas Tech in October 2007. The Buf-faloes are not only transitioning into a new conference this year, but they also begin the Jon Em-bree era on Saturday. Embree returns to his alma mater as the head coach of a team

that went 5 -7 last year and hasn’t won a bowl game since 2004. The Buffaloes will use the services of senior running back Rodney Stewart to control the clock and keep Hawai‘i’s prolific offense off the field. Stewart ran for 1,318 yards and 10 touch-downs last season, two of which were against the Warriors. “We’re going to throw the first punch,” said Embree in a story by the Denver Post. “Throwing the first punch means offensively you line up and you run the ball down their throat.” With linebacker Aaron Brown suspended for the game, the Warriors will lean on sopho-more George Daily-Lyles to step up and fill the running lanes. “The first thing we’re going to have to do is to stop their run and control the line of scrim-mage,” said Torres. “It ’s going to really be a big game for our front four and our linebackers.”
