JC quarterbacks check in
By Stephen Tsai
JC quarterback transfers Brent Rausch and Greg Alexander are taking their physical examinations today in the UH training room.
They are enrolled in Summer Session I, and are set to participate in unsupervised drills beginning tomorrow.
"I'm excited to be here," Rausch said.
Receivers Mike Tinoco and Craig Bell also are here.
* * *
The Warriors officially began the summer conditioning program today.
Here's running back Leon Wright-Jackson emerging from a weight-lifting session:
And here's Spencer Smith. (By the way, a big hello to Smith's family in Georgia):
* * *
And here's Rich Sheriff's Hummer. Notice the license plate:
* * *
Oh, what the heck. Here's a picture of my son (middle, olive shirt), daughter (third from right, hand on her head) and their friends at Sunday's paintball bash. The guy on the far left and the guy in the red shirt (my daughter's boyfriend) are really tall, which is why everyone else looks so short. I know, I know. If we wanted to see home pictures we'd visit the other 652 blogs on our site. But, hey, humor me today.
* * *
Here's a picture of my Journalism class. Each one is talented, and you'll be reading or watching their stories in the coming years. The guy in white in the front row bills himself as the Korean Elvis. He sang Elvis songs a few times to open our class. Long live the King!

any of the new recruits in Hawaii yet for summer school?
May 27th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Yikes!
May 27th, 2008 at 9:57 am
ST - where's Wena??!!??
May 27th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Where's Wena???
May 27th, 2008 at 9:58 am
hmmm... Leon, Spencer... nice guns
May 27th, 2008 at 9:59 am
nice....
May 27th, 2008 at 10:00 am
WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!! WENA!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:02 am
so which ones are yours?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:03 am
gee. leon should be in the movies.
spencer must have gained 20 lbs since he first got here.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:04 am
so ST took the photos which explains why he isn't in the family pic.
Very clear photos, btw, especially for an antique camera.
Way to go, ST.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:06 am
hubby told me paint from the paintball guns don't come off clothes. Is that true?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:07 am
12th!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:08 am
yeah gigi, I think you better wear and old muumuu
May 27th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Nice shots. Spencer picked up some weight. LWJ looks good as always.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:09 am
oops, "wear AN old muumuu"
May 27th, 2008 at 10:09 am
ST- we love the pics- wish you would share more often (like the one of you in NY with a suit- at the Heisman Awards- ooopppsss- forgot, wasn't gonna bring that up anymore...but here's an idea...you COULD do a bidding 'auction' with proceeds going to UH Wahine Soccer team (in honor of Princess Leila!)...now THAT is a win-win, don't cha think?! I'll open with $10!...any takers? C'mon Pomai....)
May 27th, 2008 at 10:10 am
gee bonar...that's plagiarism.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:14 am
haha: just caught that, Al.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:16 am
ST- if it's a 'family album' as you said on yesterday's blog, to announce today's posting....then absolutely gotta have WENA...and how come nobody stay covered in paint? Pic taken before the games began or get some really good shooters?!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:16 am
no worry, it sounded more educated coming from you.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Great photos! I'm sure that the Warriors are working hard to meet their conditioning goals this summer. Both LWJ and Spencer Smith look in great shape, and they will be even stronger and faster after their summer work.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:23 am
I wonder if the team still has the formula to determine who, pound for pound, is the strongest athlete on the team. I remember years ago, Larry Khan-Smith far outdistanced everyone else in consecutive years. That guy was truly a stud.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:23 am
nice pics stephen
shouting out to stretch, lizk, al and bonar
gigi and Ibelieve still hang in from early morn time
hi all taking a break so reading and lurking
busy morning at work but no matter
what I miss so far?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Utah State just lost a QB to BYU. This must *really* hurt Utah State, as they probably never had a Parade All-American QB on their roster before! This is the QB that led Utah State to a win over Fresno State. I'm sure that their coaches were counting the days until he was back from his mission and he could have probably started right away after he returned...
This QB's father played for Utah State. His grandfather coached basketball for Utah State and was their AD! Even with all that, he left for BYU...
May 27th, 2008 at 10:24 am
psst, Mr. Al,
re: last post from yesterday's blog, they are Mongolian not Korean.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:26 am
The SEC is talking about making their own network like the Big 10 has now.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:31 am
gigi,
betta yet wear a mumu that is blank and we can design it at da paint ball fund raiser.
bwhaaaaa
May 27th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Al,LizKauai,
a little more on the so called "staredown" almost came to blows
http://www.sumotalk.com/news.htm
May 27th, 2008 at 10:33 am
wow, show ST how to post pictures, then it's pictures galore. I still miss Princess' videos.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:33 am
One thing overlooked when counting up the stars next to certain recruits is that many top recruits have their careers ended early due to off-the-field problems. Character must be judged by the coaches doing the recruiting, but scout and rivals may not get to know the athletes as well...so, recruiting rankings get skewed a little.
Plus, these are 17- and 18-year-old young men. Many non-athletes as well as athletes will mess up at that age...trouble is that some athletes can ruin shot at the NFL by making a mistake or two. But 11 of the top 20 recruits from 2005 have been arrested--that is a really high percentage!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Here is a rundown of the top 20 recruits from 2005 and how they have done.

NCAA hit with a class action lawsuit.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:36 am
I've played in a few paintball matches and tourneys back in the old days.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone in a red t-shirt.
The shirt just screams TARGET!!! TARGET OVER HERE!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Lunch time pau. Be back after my kids are asleep...
May 27th, 2008 at 10:38 am
so it is true? the paint doesn't come off? Wow, expensive game!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:42 am
The interesting thing is that i heard (read?) that part of the reason the UH players dropped in the draft was because of questions about their "character." The fact that CB and DB's off-field issues (formal at least) occurred even prior to their arrival at UH might reflect increased efforts by NFL upper brass to improve its image, assuming those post-draft whispers have even a glint of truth.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:43 am
from what I saw on Jacka##, paintballs can hurt, too!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:46 am
Stretch,
we thinking da same thing and if not mistake isn't "matai" samoan for chief?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Morning Tsaikos!
Was so sad yesterday when it hit me that there's no UH sports for the next 3 months. What to do...at least my room is cleaner that it has been in a really long time. With that done, now what???
Great photos! Hope to hear more summer workout reports.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:53 am
jojo,
naaaaaaaaaa was a good move.

Great Morrning All.
Nice pics, Stephen.
gigi,
paintball guns were originally made to tag trees in the timber industry. So no make sense if the paint can wash off.
btw, was there talk of a CC in honor of new poster Pauoa Boy's homecoming? (Welcome Pauoa Boy)
May 27th, 2008 at 10:58 am
The paint comes off, well it used to at least a few years ago. Short sleeves? Ouch. That's just asking for a welt. Expensive? Nah, we got our play stuff at Ross where you can dress for less.
Used to play a little near ST's oldest kid's campus. Hmm...we probably played with as much coverage as possible. Had to avoid reactions to poison oak along with the welts that come from getting lit up by someone within close range..
May 27th, 2008 at 11:00 am
One more article...Bess and Samson mentioned here. It looks like the way things are being reported they assume that Bess will make the roster and that he'll be pushing players that got playing time last season.
May 27th, 2008 at 11:04 am
al,

if you lurking see what I mean about the diet

May 27th, 2008 at 11:19 am
Good afternoon, Tsaiko Nation.
Tsai-Meister, nice pictures.
Who do you think will be the starter at running back? Heun, Jackson or Libre? Or are they all about equal at this point?
May 27th, 2008 at 11:40 am
koakane,
not quite lunch time yet.
Jus' tempting a visit from Kojak
Garret,
Agree wit bonar, good news!
May 27th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Hey Tsai-kos.
Loving those pictures Stephen. Keep them coming.
Any word on the status of CJ Hawthorne with the Bills yet?
May 27th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Hmm. No wonder my ears were itchy.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Tsaiko paintball, anyone? bwaaaaaaaha...
May 27th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
ST, I'm liking the pics, too. Adds another dimension to the blog reporting.
Meanwhile ... I also am on pins and needles on whether CJ gets the job. Thanks for keeping us posted!
Have a great day, gang. Will check back in later.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
But before I go ... I keep meaning to ask: d1, why are you tilted?
OK, ovrnowt.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Stephen,
The Smith family thank you for the big hello and the pic!
Best wishes always!
Ginna and Mel Smith.
May 27th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

for some reason the paintball pics no come out on my ie or ff
May 27th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
LWJ = Power running back? I can totally see that now.
May 27th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I wonder if ennyone knows what LWJ weighs nowadays.
As for the insect people at the bottom of the pics, yah, I see the tall one, but I assume that the one with the yellow face must be the leader.
May 27th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Tsai,
Have the QBs and recievers started their unofficial passing work outs in the A,M. yet?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
bonar......i guess we on the same page.
las vegas.... i knew they were referred to as mongolian, but, they look like they are korean no matter what anybody says and they got that temper.
koakane....take of them kids.

May 27th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
With no football in sight for three months and no UH athletics to follow, I have gone back to my NHL/Detroit Red Wing roots....
It's fun to revisit "old friends"...
Anywho.... what's a "Kojack"?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Quinten Beaver = lethal running back
May 27th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Hmmm...
When is the Tsaiko Paintball Challenge?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Loa,
Thanks brah. Was an awesome weekend.
Graduation ceremony was outstanding. Of course I'm biased (and not to diss any other school) but SLS graduations are THE BEST.
Ho'okena provided the music along with Maila Gibson (a beautiful and gifted singer, btw); when they backed up the boys in singing The Prayer....CHICKEN SKIN! I no tink had one dry eye in da arena.
Project Grad chaperone was well worth giving up the rest of the weekend trying to recover. The boys had a great time.
May 27th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Esme,
"tilted" is when I checking in from away from a regular computah.
(see link)
May 27th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
#66 ... in 3.5 hours?
Back to work for me...
May 27th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Speaking of which, now that I can see da piccha guud
Stephen,
You sure one of those vertically-challenged peeps is not homey?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
fla ted.....libre is the better and most instinctive runner. he's got that juke n jive, great vision, burst of speed, and is tuff as nails. a bit smaller than the others but certainly will flourish in the running dept.
lwj is as fast as they come, north to south. he has yet to prove his ability to be a "runner". i don't know if that can be taught. if he can learn to hit the hole quick and adjust right away he will be a factor.
heun....i've yet to see. but, by all accounts he will be the second coming of west keliikipi. size, brutal blocker, and speed. still need to learn to be a runner.
farmer....you forgot farmer. he is the blue collar fullback. he knows the scheme and will go all out. has shown signs and glimpses of his potential when give an opportunity.
needless to say.....this is a position that we are loaded with guys that can make an impact.
perhaps this is why pilares is at slotback. where i predict he will shine.
ah.....we talking football again!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Kazz,
Maybe next time we get together you can explain that game to me.
But aren't they already in play-offs, too?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
al,
re: Running Back position.
I wonder if the leading criteria is still pass pro or has "tote the rock"-ability moved up to the #1 spot?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Answering my own ???
I suppose it depends on how effective the pass game is
May 27th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Welcome to our blog, Ginna and Mel! Were you able to visit with your son prior to the summer session starting?
May 27th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Howzit Ronnie!
Almos' home, eh?
FYI, did some quality inspections ovah da weekend:
Char Hung Sut - manapua, pork hash, half moon, Gon Lo Mein. All still good.
Pearl's Kitchen - various Korean fuud. All still good.
Redondo's hot dogs - still good.
Laying out at Sans Souci - still good.
Wala'au with friends and family at Kapiolani Park - still good.
Got airplane ticket?
heheheh
May 27th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Thanks, Al,
From what I gather from your statement, it looks like whoever will start, will be outstanding. If we can rush for a thousand yards, we'll be dangerous, even without Colt. I can't wait to see the incoming QB's, I hope we got a gem among them.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Nau PAU Lun Chau Wah!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
al: I think Heun has the physical skills to be something special. There was one play during the Warrior Bowl when he chased down a defender from behind. Everyone was marveling about that — he showed some serious speed for a guy his size.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Jason: I saw that too and mentioned to Mrs A-House "look at that guy run" - vey impressive for a "blocking back!!!!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
i think the ideal rb would be of the nate ilaoa mold. can do it all back there.
d1....i am thinking like the old rb's of the ron lee era at st. louis. big back who will relish blocking a blitzing linebacker, you know, wanting to knock em on their butts. be able to take the rock on a nice run, juking guys and running em over to finish the jaunt. then picking up a shovel or bubble pass just to wreck havoc on some poor cornerback.
i think the return of the punisher is in order at rb. kind of the opposite to the finesse pass game. you know the yin and yang.
gotta run now.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Do they use a tight end in Cal's run and shoot? It's a shame Hawaii never has tight end traditionally, we have lots o' athletes who would prolly make excellent TEs.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
LWJ looking shmall kine diesel nowadays, hope him and Libre get at least 10-15 touches a game, think they can be productive off dat alone.
Kazz - Quenitin Beaver RB, ho das too nawts bruddah is built like one Tank
May 27th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
A-house, if da Missuz thinks he's a good back, then he's a good back!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Cannot wait to see Jake Heun on some screen passes lighting up one CB one on one, ho going be nawts!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Heard UH gave one scholarship offer to one former local boy living in SLC, UT...supposedly played high school ball at Kapolei and Kahuku? A CB I think was, no remembah the name. Also got offer from SMU, suckin JJ dat buggah.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Hi d1shima -
Almost home! (16 days and counting
)
Thankfully, we are flying Delta - so we don't even have to pay for our first checked bag
May 27th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Diesel,
Yeah my Wings are up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals over Pittsburgh.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
good afternoon to all ! I am playing with a new

guess. Please be patient. Mahalo
May 27th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Tried calling the UH ticket office all day today and I keep getting their busy signal...
They must be calling people for the 2008 season tickets.

Re: #43
Thinking about just one of our patented West Side Breakfast of Champions for the Pauoa Boy on a Sat. or Sun. morning.
I still need to contact him for an open date on his schedule and maybe he has a preferred location.
How cool to have the Smith Family respond. Way to go ST, that's a great way to show the Ohana some Aloha!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Good afternoon Tsai-kos! Trying to post

May 27th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Soo sorry for the double posting. I'm not very good with 2 hands let alone with 1 finger typing. It doesn't help having fat fingers!!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Myki! woo hoo! new toys! I just installed a new keyboard and mouse at work...
Gotta WIllie Grace.
Our Project Grad is coming up Friday... gonna work the early shift- registration
May 27th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Kekoa - I should be free either day. Just get graduation for go to at Roosevelt dis Saturday evening. Any place good to me, haven't been back home in awhile. Couldn't access my email at work so I couldn't email. Anyway, I stay home now. Planned on having breakfast someplace on the weekend anyway so anywhere is good I not picky.
May 27th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Requests are answered:
Rausch and Alexander are in the hale.
May 27th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
ST - Good to know the QB's are here early and the WR's. Hopefully they can get in some workouts with the boys and start learning the playbook. Have high hopes for all these JC guys, too excited to see um in action.
May 27th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Hmmm...
Could be a special early morning visit to the grass practice fields in da wurks?
May 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Hope Funaki and Graunke take these guys and school em up quick, the QB's and WR's need time to gel hope they can all get it together before we hit da Swamp and drown them in there own place!
May 27th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
ST,
Are the two bigger in person than their stats previously indicated?
May 27th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Alexander is a pretty big size QB right like 6-5 240 around there? Rausch kine of a tweener at 6-4 190?
May 27th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
yup, jase i can't
wait to see him out t here.
dpk.....it's ron lee's run n shoot. cal was always on the d side of the ball.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
thinking out loud......
the last time graunke helped an incoming jc quarterback during unofficial summer workouts......well, you know the rest is history.
i wonder what his role will be now?
May 27th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
D1,
The original paintballs used for marking trees and livestock were oil based products. After the game of paintball was "invented" and started to grow, manufacturers began making water/latex based paintballs.
Bonar,
Although "hits" do hurt if on a sensitive part of the body, it gives the game a realism that laser tag or other such games don't have. I call it "safe danger" (consequences for sticking your head out, but no injury.)
Fields take their safety briefings seriously, and if they don't, I wouldn't play there. So goggles are mandatory while on the field, if a player were to fall and loose his goggles, all play is supposed to stop.
The best time I ever had playing was the first time, when everyone was outfitted with pump 'guns (limited rate of fire, and you actually had to aim.) With the arms race and new technology, it's become spray and pray or accuracy through volume. Haven't played in a couple of years so if there's a Tsaiko game count me in.
Cheers
May 27th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
True feel bad for Graunke, but to me after spring workouts seems like Funaki had the upperhand. I think Funaki has a knack for making plays he just need a chance. Graunke still solid but those JC guys look promising after watching the highlight videos. Just hope they figure it out quick cause Florida is not the game to be rotating guys in and out at QB.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Paintball is nawts, but I hate when pau play and you take off the shirt and look like you get one skin disease with all the welts from da paintballs so owwweeee!
May 27th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Pauoa Boy ~
Good to know you are ready to meet some of the Tsaiko Ohana. Send email to kekoa22 at aol dot com. Let me know the general area you will be staying, and some contact #'s. I'll get the Warrior Express crew to decide on a place close.
Myki! ~ I stay typing with 1 fingah on my iPhone. Hard yeah? I got Pops at the PT place until 4pm. So wat? We going watch da new QB's play catch wit da receivers?
May 27th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Tsai-Meister,
Alexander and Rausch would make great blog guests for a nice welcome. I'm excited they're here, now let's see what shakes out, ditto the WR's.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Off course, those guys being here obviously means that all their school work is up to snuff?
May 27th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Actually, some of the unknowns about our team is what makes it extra exciting, kinda like a new love, lol.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Kekoa, email sent thanks.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Talking about incoming guys, whatever happen with Gabe Tuata or John Manu-Olevao?
May 27th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
LizK . . .
The OSU game really depends on my school schedule. I am trying to arrange my calendar to have it open. The rest depends on other state organizations -- I only have so much pull in their scheduling.
But, definitely! If can, can! If no can, waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, sniff, sniff.
Boise is a different problem. It is around a 9 - 10 hour drive (includes shi-shi and fuud breaks). I will really have to think about that one because I will probably lose one school day (Friday).
May 27th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
tuata is at pasadena cc i believe.
manu-olevao was supposed to enroll this fall???
May 27th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
LK,
Thanks for the info. The one and only time I played was also at a time when most everyone had the single shot guns and you're right, that made for some actual strategy and thinking.
At the waterpark the other night, there was the equivalent type of guns at one of the activities except those shot the foam balls. At first, I thought that someone was popping firecrackers outside the park because of the "spray and pray" technique you mentioned.
Definitely not in shape now for a Tsaiko paintball event though.

Hey Ronnie,
Just wanted to let you know that I booked my seat for the Fresno game. I arrive on Friday morning and leave Tuesday evening. $312 roundtrip on Delta. Best rate I found since I started looking!
Watch out Bulldogs...we are coming to town!
We can talk about it at the Karaoke call next month.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
If John Manu-Olevao does what he's supposed to do, he joins in the fall.
I think that ship has sailed with Gabe Tuata.

Reading today, we see that Michelle Wie tees it up this Thursday in Germany. On a sponsor's exemption the 172nd-ranked player has another chance to bred success. And point her career in the right direction. Analysts and some others point that her problems are not with her swing. But with the absence of confidence that's eluding her. And I agree. Plus add in a bad wrist, the weight on her shoulders and not having the great mentor in her life. And it is easy to see why she has confidence issues.
Given what Earl (Tiger's Dad) did to Tiger's career growing up is the complete antithesis of what Michelle dad, BJ, does to Michelle's career. Where as some say BJ is counter productive to Michelle future success. Tiger's Dad was the architect, building a foundation. And fostering a bond, where the son tried so hard to make his Dad happy.
So far her career has been accented by a lot of negativity. Message board are ripping her apart. Sport columnists, radio talk hosts and bloggers say shes a freak show, three ring circus, and the Anna Karnokova of the ladies tour and some of the deployed assaults and parody mocked towards Michelle are hard to filter out how we think of Michelle because she hasn't lived up to the hype. Add in the jealousy factor of how both the ladies and men's tour watching her getting all this attention, accomplishing presently very little. But hulaing all the way to the bank. And it doesn't embrace her favorably in the company of her peers let alone in receiving the slights and sneers of the fans. And who can argue with them? Is Michelle the poster child for arrogance? Biting off too much she can chew, and now is she's choking ? Parental bliss? Maybe so. Maybe so. Maybe so.
A lot of people, though, forget that as 16 year old, playing in a limited schedule she would have placed 7th on the money lists.So what happened? Where's the spark, now? We acknowledge the bad wrist and hope it gets better. On that note we want everything to get better.
No question that today, however, Michelle is in a slump. And what probably contributes to her down spin is arriving on the scene with too much celebratedness and the lack of preparedness of instilling the mental part of the game.Now looming unfavorable for her are the pressures of having to prove her self. When we see Michelle on the course we empathize with the bad shots, rounds and tournaments. And watching Michelle skipping going through the protocols of the tour, the growing pains and enduring the maturation process of growing up naturally we notice the mounting pressure etched on her face when she does have to answer her critics after a bad showing. She feels the wrath and she better realize it amasses quickly with each bad round. And year.
Come Thursday, here's hoping she does well in her tournament in Germany. And the only advice I like to give her, both career and tournament wise, is please do not get ahead of yourself. And take one shot at a time.

Aloha:
Here is the current situation with respect to the Board of Regents. All the information has been confirmed. If this is not of any interest to you, then please skip down to the next post.
Under the re-organized BOR, there are now 15 seats. Currently through June 30, 2008, ten of the positions are filled. Of that number, five holdovers - Byron Bender, Michael Dahilig, Marlene Hapai, Kitty Lagareta & Jane Tatibouet - had their terms extended by Executive Order to June 30, 2008.
The terms of two individuals - Andres Albano, Jr., and Ramon de la Pena - will expire on June 30, 2008.
The terms of three individuals - Allan Landon, James Haynes & Ronald Migita - will expire in 2009, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
In mid-February, a list of 22 names to fill 12 vanacies was sent to the Governor broken down into six categories with the number of seats in parantheses after each category: At-Large Student (1); At-Large (2); Hawai`i County (2), City & County of Honolulu (5), Kaua`i County (1), Maui County (1).
NOTE: Jim Donovan withdrew his name after accepting the Athletic Director's position and Doris Ching was named to fill his slot on the List of 22.
Included in the List of 22 were current Regents Albano (At-Large), Dahilig (At-Large), Lagareta (At-Large) & de la Pena (Kaua`i).
Bender, Hapai and Tatibouet either did not re-apply or, if they did, they did not survive the screening process to make the List of 22.
The Governor selected only Lagareta to be considered by the State Senate, but she was not confirmed.
She also withdrew her At-Large Student nominee, Josh Wingstrom, after the Senate Education Committee on April 28 deferred further action on his nomination. NOTE: I do not know why as his paper credentials are outstanding.
The following individuals have been confirmed and will take office officially on July 1, 2008: Artemio Baxa, Maui; Carl Carlson, West Hawai`i; Harvey Tajiri, East Hawai`i; Howard Karr & Dennis Hirota, C&C of Honolulu; Teena Rasmusssen, At-Large.
Therefore, on July 1, 2008, these six new Regents will join the three who are in mid-term..
This leaves the following seats "vacant" - At-Large Student (1); At-Large (1); C&C of Honolulu (3); Kaua`i (1).
The Governor is expected to extend the terms of many of the current Regents for another year and hopes for a more friendly Senate next time around. However, Dahilig, the current At-Large Student Regent, cannot continue to serve in that capacity which is why he applied for one of the At-Large seats
There are other procedural questions being worked out now including whether a new list will be created or the current names kept on it with others added.
***
Hope everyone here is doing well - and remember, it's only three short months until both football and women's volleyball seasons start. The WAC still hasn't posted the latter's 2008 schedule, but the first game last season was played on August 24 so we can assume that this year, it'll probably be within a day or two of that date.
On a more somber note, our 20-year-old car was vandalized in our driveway sometime between Sunday evening and yesterday morning; however, we didn't grasp the extent of the damage until today when we took it in to be repaired. That's all cash - no insurance coverage. Hope that our govt rebate check comes quickly.

Hoohiki:
Does your 146 post refers to team members as opposed to old & new Tsaikos? If so, then any invitation even before the start of the season would need to be cleared with the Compliance Office before anything could be planned.
Something similar was discussed last year, but nothing happened. All I remember was BG trying to get permission and no one ever responding to his inquiries in a timely fashion.

Speaking of JOUR classes, Stephen's teaching during the summer. Mondays and Wednesdays again, so continue to expect late posts.

We have a more serious one.
They think I'm a dork for taking a picture. But, hey, it was my first class.

May 27th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Doc,
I did mean the new and old football players. Maybe it's time to revisit an old idea. I think it's a great way to make the new players feel welcome and know there's a big ohana that will give them support like no other. Compliance guy should at least respond and follow through.
May 27th, 2008 at 6:44 pm

Actually, the guy is standing a bit behind me. The angle makes it look worse. I think. I hope.

Two things I liked about RL's offense:
the bubble routes to the slots when Timmy used to throw them (VERY quick release)
the WR screens. When the timing is right, you can watch 1-2 defenders get "Ear-holed" every time
May 27th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

Garret,
I caught PTI debating whether they were impressed by the "open goal" one. Kornheiser (sp?) was, Wilbon wasn't. IMHO, 70 yards is a Lo-o-o-ong ways off. As JJ used to say, even doing that against air is impressive.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:01 pm

Man, I may not be able to ever look at you the same way again....:-(
Nah j/k
Actually, it depends on the quality of da salad. And quite frankly, L&L....kinda shady (if you know wat I mean)
May 27th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
d1shima,
The older goal (12 years ago) was even more impressive because the ball went over the goalie into the top part of the net. From what I read, the other team's goalie was actually in the game, but he had tried to cheat upfield since I think LA was ahead by 1 goal and it was late in the game.
I've seen a LOT of hockey player miss an open net from much closer distances. Gretzky rarely missed those, which is why it was so jarring to me to see others miss them.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:07 pm

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the box on the table contained a case of Red Bull. I usually feed the students every class. But I didn't have time to bring in anything that day. One of the students brought in the Red Bull. It was a very energetic session, you would say.

Stephen: Any word yet on when the Football Workshop For Women will be held?
More bad news personally - it's official - funding will cease effective June 30, 2008, for my day job so come July 1, I'll be officially unemployed. However, I'll stay on as a volunteer through the end of the year to wrap everything up. Unfortunately, we cannot stop the new phone contract - the deadline for that was May 16 -- so even though the phone will be disconnected in another couple of weeks, we'll be paying for the Yellow Pages advertising contract through September, 2009. Ouch!!!

ST,
Nice photo of your class! I wish that I had taken a photo of my first class at Santa Clara. The funny thing is that it was a grad class and the majority of the students were older than me and had been working in the wireless industry for awhile...the first question I got was from a 50+ year old guy (I was just 30 then) who had been working as an engineer since before I was born and he asked "why are you qualified to teach this class". I gave my credentials, he accepted them (or he was polite, at least he didn't walk out of the classroom), and we went on with the class.
I should have thought of taking a photo. Though if I had a guy like the one that is behind ST in the photo, maybe that is for the best.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
d1shima,
I just remember the kicks that curved around the wall and got past the goalie...some of those goals were just crazy. The Bend It Like Beckham movie showed at least one of those goals.

NFL teams are about to make character issues even MORE important for draft picks...Colt and Bess had to answer so many questions about their problems that occurred before they even entered UH, and that was before this policy. Having the team get fines if their players mess up was a big change by itself, but having teams lose draft picks if they have multiple players with off-the-field problems will make teams really stress this issue now!
May 27th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Hello, Ginna and Mel Smith!
welcome to the Tsaiko blog where crazies abound, but they are truly nice individuals who are quirky at times, but who cares as long as we discuss UH sports especially Warrior football.
I hope that Spencer will take away many good memories of Hawaii after completing his eligibility that will stay with him all his life.
thank you for supporting his decision to travel nearly 6,500 miles to play for the Warriors.
btw, did you attend the Suga Bowl? Altho we lost, sure had a good time. What an experience!!!!!

I was about to make the point that you just wrote about in your #219 post. The tough economic times will squeeze many deserving people, including many of those like yourself who normally would be rewarded for your good work.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:48 pm

Here's a tip. Use Firefox when you want to view my blog pix.
Use Safari when you want to see a mu‘umu‘u look tent-sized in a golf pix.

ST -- the pix look OK in Mac Safari. Even with the beautiful 3D blue background.
A-House family uses PC's I think so unlikely they are using Safari. The pix also look OK in Mac Firefox and mozilla-based browsers.
There is an issue of image size and resolution that might be examined later

Hawaiʻi Pidgin English, Hawaiʻi Creole English, HCE, or simply Pidgin, is a creole language based in part on English used by most "local" residents of Hawaiʻi.[citation needed] Although English and Hawaiian are the co-official languages of the State of Hawaiʻi[1], Pidgin is used by many Hawaiʻi residents in everyday conversation and is often used in advertising toward Hawaiʻi residents. The new ISO/DIS 639-3 language code for Hawaiʻi Pidgin (Hawaiʻi Creole English) is hwc/

Good evening Tsaikos,
Frack - got beginnings of a cold. At least we had Sudafed in the house. Hope I can kick this quick. I just took some cuz I now have a headache with a runny nose and scratchy throat. Don't think I got any herbal tea in the house.
Aloha to the Smiths. Ditto the sentiments voiced here.
BTW, I have a young coworker who's a Gator alum. He has a man-crush on TT. Every time I pass his desk, I gotta look at the Heisman picture on his computer desktop (sometimes 2 - he has 2 monitors!). Ughh.
Hope everyone stays healthy.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I have to agree, pidgin is hard to read and slows down the eyes. Sometimes, I just don't read the comment at all because it's so frustrating.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Jm, it took me 4 weeks to get over my bad cold -- sinus congestion and bad cough.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
gigi- do you have the same problem listening to pidgin? It's really intended as a spoken language.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
jm2375- hot gimchi soup with tofu is the cold-killer around here.
Fresh ginger tea is also a good one.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
No, I can understand pidgin when it is spoken. But certain foreign accents -- like Filipino and Indian -- are really hard for me.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
I remember calling Dell customer service and an Indian woman with a strong accent answered. What a frustrating experience. I couldn't understand a word she said and had to hang up.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
gigi- when I want to understand an unfamiliar accent (I have a friend who is Chinese and has a high-pitched voice and strong accent), I listen neutrally- rather than trying to decipher each word, it's like becoming a sieve and catching the words as they fall through.
Like looking at a "magic window". Use peripheral vision rather than looking at the details.
Amazing how much information can be deciphered!
May 27th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Hi, Gigi,
How much would you charge to edit an aprox. 65,000 words book. Just clean-up and general credit with suggestions? E-mail me, if you wan to , at theodordomay at a o l .com
May 27th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Sorry, I meant clean-up, not credit.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Liz, I know what you mean. However, when the words are technical for the computer, that's hard to do.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
GG -
Shoulda seen the problems I had last year with United customer service. IMO Customer Service for the US should *never* be outsourced overseas. We had award tickets and were trying to come home earlier than scheduled (we scheduled the trip about 3 wks in advance, so we took what we could get). I was on the phone with them at least once a day. Once I talked to a supervisor. I called back later that day and asked to speak to that person, but the operator said he had no idea who that person was and they were probably in a different area!! Ended up paying $100 per person to change the routing from MIA-DEN-HNL to MIA-DEN-SFO-HNL!!! The flight from SFO was the same one coming from Denver and we ended up on that one anyway, because the flight from DEN was delayed. Grrrr.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Hi Ted,
I am sorry but I have no time to help you. I have to babysit and deal with distributors of my own books, which entails packing boxes, driving to Mililani where Booklines is located, or to the post office to mail stuff to Baker & Taylor on the mainland.
I suggest you find or start a critique group comprised of other writers, who will read 5 pages of their double spaced work at a time and critique each other's work.
Try the National Writers Association. There might be a chapter in your town. Google them. I used to belong to a chapter and we would critique each other's work.
Good luck.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Yeah, pidgin is a good shortcut language when the conversants are on the same page on a familiar subject.
My first exposure was immersion in the many times aforementioned fine dining restaurant at Kauai Resort in the 70's. I was never a waitress before that time and had to learn the job and take direction from a Filipina head waitress and Portagee head hostess.
Eh Leez- go in da keechen and get me one da kine!
May 27th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Jm,
I sure hope that doesn't happen to me!
If for some reason, my flights in and out of Japan are delayed, I hope JAL customer service has people who can speak decent English.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
haha Liz, that's hilarious!
May 27th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Thanks, Liz,
It was just a shot in the dark. But I would like a professional editor go over my own edit before I submit it to an agent. It's hard to be objective doing your own edit. The book is also almost ready for a movie script. I do have a group of writers, but once a week 15 minutes of reading is slow and cumbersome. I may have somebody in Seattle, we'll see. Thanks again.

Deutsche Telekom admitted (after a newspaper outed them) that they bugged the phones of their top executives and board members, as well as business journalists. Their latest spin is that they intercept the phone calls, but they did not listen to them. 32% of the company is owned by the German government, one of the many interesting subplots of this case.

Can you still get Sudafed with Pseudoephedrine? I think they changed the formula a couple of years ago to Sudafed PE. I used to take one before sleeping, kept the breathing clear through the night, woke up feeling great.

The military has become so unpopular in the UK that they actually had to pass a law banning discrimination against personnel wearing their uniforms. I find it hard to believe that shops, *hospitals*, and *public institutions* would actually prevent those wearing military uniforms from entering certain premises!

Back in the 70's when I was an instructor in Yorktown, VA, fellow instructors complained of students (from Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands area) who they could not understand in class. They were also in trouble for some reason so they were brought to our office for interrogation.
They were speaking in pidgin and I understood what they were saying except for certain nouns and a few choice verbs (I speak Hawaiian pidgin versus Caribbean pidgin). It was not my responsibility, but blank stares from my fellow instructors made me intercede. I ended up being the "interpreter" for them during the 2-week course they were attending.

Stephen,
I always thought that taking group photos were one of the hardest things we have to do. Preschoolers and Kindergarteners are a challenge, and my son's Cub Scout pack is realy tough. However, I can understand the limited attention span of 6 year olds.
The worst by far are adults at their high school reunion, usually drinking, not paying listening to instructions and generally being pains in the a$$e$. Needless to say nowadays we're always "booked" when requests to do reunions come in.
One way to keep control of the group is to do the "serious" photo with the promise of being able to take a "fun" one if they do the serious one okay. I'm guessing, kind of what you did with your class.
BTW gotta check those kids for those gang signs (guy in the back in red)
Happy shooting

Who coordinated the food and collected the money for Blog Party 3 at Murphy's?
Who manages and collects the money for most Cattle Calls?
So, who's the most qualified to specify the menu items, modifications, and collect for the June 19 Cattle/Karaoke Call?
I am pleased and grateful to announce that Al will be the "Food Boss" and cashier for the June 19th Call. He will collect that night to cover the buffet meal costs, any additional goodies, tax, tip, and a modest $2 per person karaoke song charge. He will calculate costs and announce as we get closer. Beverages and cocktails will be on your own.

Al ~ You named the general ingredients to the salad. She also adds finely grated celery, carrots, maui onions and a can of baby sweet peas. Of course the key is the Mayo, and just enough to meld it all together. Sprinkle the paprika on top, an the black olives for deco and viola!
Getting the potatoes to the right consistency and having a sufficient amount of boiled cackle berries properly seasoned with garlic and onion salt is paramount.
Please note that I endeavored to use the proper verbage to describe the epicurial event.

Sudafed and the generic brand available from Long's are still available, but are now behind-the-counter and require approximately ten minutes of time and three different procedures to purchase plus photo id.
Assuming that Lingle signs the latest law - or allows it to go into law w/o her signature - still another step requiring instantaneous central electronic registration of all purchases will go into effect in 2010. The records will be made available to law enforcement officials who will scrutinize all purchases on a regular basis, note who is buying these drugs, and allow them to investigate possible criminal activities without getting a warrant.
The reason for this added step is that the original laws passed in 2004 and 2005 have all but halted mass purchases of pseudoephedrine extracted from these pharmaceuticals; however, lower quality ingredients are coming in from the Far East through Mexico and are now being used to make ice.
Unfortunately, the quality of the ice is lower and causes all kinds of physical & psychological problems so that drug addicts are going back into the business of making their own even if it means driving from one store to the next to buy packages of 96 tablets. The new law will stop that from happening.
The Sudafed PE and other brands including generic are unfortunately a big waste of money. Study after study show that the PE is no more effective than a placebo. In fact, according to researchers, PE was first used in these over-the-counter cold medications but the psuedoephdrine took over the industry back in the early 60s.
Ask me someday what my position is on this.

Back in graduate school, several of us worked a major research project on pidgin English under the supervision of UH faculty from the English, Sociology, and Linguistics Departments.
Although many of the conclusions were anticipated, a couple of ones came up which no one expected. Based upon that study, I later asked my own students to focus on becoming bi- or even tri-lingual.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:00 am
I wish I saved a copy of that article that Bro. Mike wrote for the Honolulu Weekly many, many, many, many, many years ago on Pidgin. The Hawaiian Studies Dept at UH uses it in the HWST 107 reader.
May 28th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Kekoa
If legislators are so concerned about this nefarious cold medication, then why don't they ask Congress to ban its manufacture outright. Unfortunately, Congress knows how to count - Big Pharma spends about $60 billion a year on lobbying and election support so it will be pretty hard to get that to happen.
CHANGE OF SUBJECT: How's your dad doing? We're facing something similar but from a distance with DrDoc's mother. Fortunately, three of his brothers & sisters live within 500 miles so they take monthly turns caring for her because she refuses to leave The Old Family Home. Another sister is in London and we're here in Hawai`i so all we can do is send money and call once or twice a week.

Doc ~
Agree. Cold Meds are too much of a money maker for the Pharma.
Pops? He's doing better today after his fall. I was told by the doctors that the next time he falls, take the same precautions in stopping the bleeding, but TAKE HIM TO THE NEAREST ER ASAP. They cautioned that because he is on Coumadin, it is imperaive for them to scan for possible internal bleeding.
Prayers to Dr. Doc's mom...losing my mom to cancer last year was a real blow. She was my biggest fan and supported every sport I thought I was good at. Most times the ONLY fan! Bwhahaha!

You kow how those always had one kid what was doing something weird? Except that the photo shows just a couple of kids "posing" normally. Beautiful photo -- one for the ages. I think if you posted that photo in five years and asked those kids to respond that would be interesting.

Welcome to Tsai-ko land. Kind of like Disneyland except we have only Goofy's and the Mad-Hatter's here. HA!

I am a pretty optimistic person so, yes, I believe (note the lowercase "b") my weekend will be filled with Warriors and Tsai-kos.

Okay. For those of you guys that like specialty coffees.
Out here in a place called Bonney Lake, WA. The barristas at several of the coffee huts wear bikinis and in several cases wear a lot less. All they serve is coffees. Nothing else.
Business if booming at those places. Those huts where barristas wear regular clothing have noted a drop in sales. Geez, I wonder why?
Anyhow, there are some civic-minded people who are trying to shut these places down.

This note ties together UH, Florida, and Georgia. Florida's coach is going to be using Georgia's celebration to motivate his team to work hard.

SEC coaches are also in favor of the early signing period. So far I do not know of a group that is *not* in favor of the early signing period.

Good Morning Tsaikos!!
No time for me to go through all the posts from yesterday afternoon but I will be back later this morning and post more. I have to head out to the airport to catch the flight.

Morning, Tsaiko Nation,
Just filled my gas tank for a short trip down south, $55.- bucks, yikes. Gas now 3.89 over here. What's the Hawaii average? This economy is getting scary.
Garret,
I'm glad for you that the military sector surely has no recession woes.

Good Morning Tsaiko Nation!
FloridaTed, the gas station closest to my house has regular for $4.09 and premium for $4.33. Yikes!
Las Vegas, the video of the B-29 and X1 was great! It even motivated my son to wake up so he could watch it

Great Morning All.
A quick scan of the previous night's comments suggests that there was more than a modicum of effort to appropriately respond to our dear Manoa Mist's plea to moderate the use of mere colloquialism on this medium.
I should like to add my own reflections on said topic at this time.....
Wapyahjahws!!! Woohoo!!!
Get it? Got it. Good!
Check you folks......
Latahsssss.....
