Subscription prescription

We’re giving away four 1-year subscriptions to the Star-Advertiser’s on-line premium section.

We’ll have a drawing for the other three subscriptions. If you wish to enter, please post: Gimme the free stuff.

Mouse Davis is back on the island.


* * * * *

If you’re scoring at home, running back Josh Gonda and defensive back Tim Adebayo are on the training-camp roster. They’re reporting this morning. Adebayo and Lorne Bridgeford, who also is on the training-camp roster, were Fresno City’s starting safeties last year.

Happy birthday to Rob25. And we know who you’re rooting for in the battle between Cowboys and Aliens.

    Too bad Cory Nielsen has left. He was a 4.0 grade average student. He wanted to be a UH warrior way back in his High School days. Of all the roles James Caan has played. portraying football player Brian Picolo was my favorite. “Brians Song”, was a memorable movie. He can emote feelings without saying a word. His son Scott can do the same. And who can forget Charlie Wedemeyer? Lou Gehrigs disease claimed his life last year. What a brave, gutsy human being. Brian Picolo, Charlie Wedemeyer, these are true American heroes.

    Good piece on HawaiiNewsNow last night on Chad Owens and his adopted home in Toronto…It’s good to see Chad feeling the love and success in Canada, where the team and city has embraced his talents on/off the field. Kinda wish this would have happened to Colt, but that’s another story.


  65. Old Diver August 2, 2011 8:22 am

    The other week in the letters to the editor comment section a bunch of people were complaining about paying for an online StarAdvertiser subscription. I posted that the back and forth comments were fun and if I don’t see their comments again good luck to them. Being the owner of two SA subscriptions I told them I would still be here. Lo and behold anyone who even mentioned the SA web site going subscription has been banned from making comments since that day. If from tomorrow I am unable to comment on this blog, the back and forth was fun (especially with Garret) and I wish the best to you all.

    Go Warriors!

    Good luck to Cory Nielson…Don’t know where Saint Francis is located or what level of football they play, but I’ll be sure to look into it on occasion. This is the type of student-athlete you wanna cheer for…It’s too bad he couldn’t break into the rotation at QB for the Warriors.

    When the original article about the new SA charge appeared it was written by a reporter and it drew a ton of unfavorable replies. A few hours later the comments were removed and the comment section shut down.The next day it was replaced with an announcement by Francis with no comment section.

  90. rage777 August 2, 2011 9:01 am

    Once the SA goes to a paid site, I’m hoping they keep the loophole that I use for other paysites that allow me to read articles. If that’s the case, then I don’t really need the free subscription.


  91. Couch potato August 2, 2011 9:09 am

    what’s the big deal about paid online subscription? if you already subscribe to the hardcopy you get the online free. the blogs are free. if you need more get KHON, KITV, KGMB, KHON, MSN, and many other websites where you can read the news.

  98. Stephen Tsai August 2, 2011 9:15 am

    It’s always a difficult transition to be charged for something that used to be free (like the zoo, UH sportscasts).

    But it costs money to run a news operation. It also never made sense to give away a product that also is being sold, especially since contents appeared online hours before the paper was delivered to your doorstep. So totally free online content wasn’t going to go on forever.

    I hope you do subscribe, but I can understand if it’s not affordable. While the amount is relatively low, we all have to prioritize how we wish to spend our hard-earned money.

    But the blog will be free, and I’ll continue to work hard and try to provide comprehensive coverage of UH football. That’s all I can really say. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

  102. al August 2, 2011 9:19 am

    i figure if we pay for online subs, that revenue could just be enough to save one or two jobs.

  105. wafan August 2, 2011 9:24 am

    Dunno why Mr. Tsai feels the need to apologize. Prices are going up everywhere on everything. Besides it was not his decision. Contact the publisher if you really feel the need to vent.


  106. rage777 August 2, 2011 9:24 am

    I wouldn’t mind paying if I was reading a lot of articles. Since I hardly read any article, I don’t really want to pay. That is the biggest reason why I never got into World of Warcraft. After coming from Diablo which was free to play online, I didn’t want to pay for something that I would occasioanlly play. Same thing with a cell phone, why pay for all those fees when I hardly ever talk on the phone anyway. People can call me at work or at home, or send me an e-mail.

    I agree, no need to apologize. That is what happens in a free market economy. You are free to charge whatever will make you money. Of course it might be better if the SA called it a “donation” like UH sports does.

    Aloha, Pomai…..

    Well…I think it was like atleast a week ago that I tried to subscribe on-line and when trying to close the deal, as they say……the response I got was, “system unable to recognize your zip-code.” Everyone else, ups, banks, on-line business’, usps, etc., don’t seem to have any problems locating my zip?….so go figure?? and I order alot of stuff on-line.

    In speaking to two different csr’s, I was told that they would call me when the problem/situation got resolved…….still no call, and I will try again to subscribe on-line on the 3rd(tmr), and see what happens???


  114. warrior1996 August 2, 2011 9:30 am

    As one of the banned, it’s odd to see free subscriptions given away where free discourse was stifled.

    It wasn’t about the charge, it was the lack of ability to offer feedback to a liberally slanted newspaper.

    That the Draconian measure of banning people was taken shows what kind of cutthroat operation the SA is.

    I agree with the mentioned that many things used to be free. Well that was until ‘they’ figured out it could be profitable. This is not surprising. UH sports, football in particular was a huge blow..especially since the level of competition actually dropped as the PPV ramped up….the WAC became a real milk toast league with the defections of the original members with the exception of Boise St. and the two or three other schools who were formitable from time to time. But PPV in my opinion has ruined the attendance at the games, at least until now. Perhaps we’ll see it build back up although in the present economy I have my doubts. I simply cannot afford it any more, and will turn my attention to other things that don’t plunder my bank account.

    As the SA evolves so, too, should the UH’s on-line athletic site and campus newspaper.

    The SA is (or was) a great recruiting tool for UH. A potential recruit (athlete) or student could gain a picture and pulse of the team and the community by reading the SA on-line edition.

    A potential recruits (or students) courtship begins with the school (and it’s curriculum) and coaches (and teams) but I see the SA on-line newspaper as a great aid. In other words the SA, by it’s many articles, features, archives, allows the potential recruits and students (and their parents) a view of the terrain.

    This is important. And, now, I think of the effect it has on both the potential recruits and students of being left in the dark (without the SA as a great source of info and homegrown reports of UH’s teams and pulses of the community) as they search

    the terrain and gain a picture of what Hawaii has to offer.

    This is where I hope UH steps in, and evolves, too. And steps in up a notch in their on-line news reporting, sports reporting (and athletic site), features, exclusive articles and interviews so that potential recruits (athletes) and students don’t feel a void and emptiness in their search of what is going on over here..

    Conference dominoes may be starting up again since the Big East is openly considering expanding to help them get a bigger TV deal.

    The Big East is still considering expansion as it prepares to negotiate a television rights deal that commissioner John Marinatto called the most important in its history.

    Marinatto said he will only consider adding a school that brings “value.”

    The expansion issue will have to be settled before the Big East can dive into its TV rights negotiations. The Big East has separate TV deals for football and basketball with ESPN. Each expires in 2013.

    For those curious about Corey Nielson’s new team, St. Francis (PA) plays at the Division 1 Football Championship Series (FCS) level, or what was once called Division 1AA. That’s only one level below the Football Bowl Series (FBS) level that UH and other major universities play at. Schools like Appalachian State, Montana and Portland State also field FCS teams, so it’s still a high caliber of football. Having said that, St. Francis has struggled recently, going 1-10 last season. The “Red Flash” play in the Northeast Conference against schools like Duquesne, Robert Morris and Wagner.

  216. HawaiiMongoose August 2, 2011 12:34 pm

    ESPN has an exclusive 60-day contract renegotiation window with the Big East that begins in September of 2012. After that the conference can open up TV contract negotiations to other bidders. Although Marinatto has previously said that expansion decisions should be made before the negotiations begin, I could see the Big East ultimately deciding to wait on expansion until late 2012 or early 2013 when negotiations with multiple TV networks are fully underway and it can find out with certainty which expansion candidate(s) will yield the most monetary value. There’s no gun to the Big East’s head since the next contract won’t take effect until the 2014 season, giving the conference until as late as June 2013 to issue invitations.


  217. gigi-hawaii August 2, 2011 12:36 pm

    You probably noticed that all the markets advertise in Midweek and seldom and not with the big pages as in Midweek.

    If you don’t have advertisers paying big bucks for ads, Midweek would not be free and delivered.

    Kmart, Safeway, and Don Quiote (sometimes in MW) have ads in both.

    I don’t know which circulation is larger, the copy to every home MW or the SA.

    I don’t know the rates, but maybe you have to pay per piece, so even if the SA goes to another island or mainland location, you hae to pay to have a dead insert, so that’s why they advertise in MW, where the bulk of their stores are as opposed to SA.

    Is this is a revenue arugment, then wouldn’t it be on the online advertising salespeople, since this is a new online subscription fee?

    I get tailored ads when I’m on sometimes.

    I do like the Honolulu Club 3 Day “Trail” offer.

    So, if they can’t generate enough online ad sales with a free online presence, will they when traffic may get reduced by having a fee?

    As far as legal ad space goes, it’s probably some antiquated legal system matter that may go the way of cursive.

    Post about Austin Hansen’s situation on WSN.

    The test was a random test that came after we qualified for the bowl game. Hansen nearly died in January of 2010 from a staph infection that was misdiagnosed by the UH medical staff. He had emergency surgery in the Queen’s M.C. and almost had to have his left arm amputed above the elbow. He was kept in the hospital for seven days and was not allowed to lift or train for about six weeks. He got released to train one week before spring practice 2010. He lost 25 pounds, but still made every practice and held onto the LT position in spring. After spring practice he went to a nutrition store and they recommended a supplement. Hansen went to the NCAA website to check if the supplement was on their banned list. It wasn’t so he bought some and used it during the summer. Toward the end of last season, he was getting tired and started to take the supplement again. Hansen was one of 8 players who were chosen by NCAA randomly to piss in the cup. Hansen tested positive for a substance that wasn’t even listed as an ingredient on the packaging of the supplement. He did an emergency appeal to clear him to play in the bowl game. He lost the appeal and is awaiting a second appeal that may come in September. This past January Hansen was told that he would be eligible to play the last four games of the regular season. Then a month ago the compliance department told him they mis-interpreted the NCAA rules and his suspension will keep him out until the BYU game. There is a lot more to the story than this and I hope it comes out soon. Back in December his “B” sample test came back inconclusive, but the NCAA allowed the testing lab to re-test his “B” sample which is against their own rules. Hansen should sue the NCAA, but he has been told that it will cost about $500,000 to file for an injunction and try the case. The NCAA is very corrupt and people don’t know the dirty deeds they do to athletes.

    It will also be interesting to see the effect of the SA paywall will have on other sites.

    Much of what is discussed on football/sports message boards is derived from the sport’s articles from the SA. All that is required is both a link to the story and author of the article.

    For the Warrior football sport’s message boards (like WSN and Sports Hawaii) the SA sport’s articles, commentary and featured stories creates a lot of debates. It also drums up a lot of interest in UH football. And some of the poster’s comments are entertaining, informative and fun to read.

    Once the SA paywall goes into effect are these message boards that follow Warrior football allowed the freedom in continuing posting sport’s articles and links from the SA? My hunches tell me no. Why would the SA allow the message boards to milk the cow for free?

    ***Off-Topic, kinda long***

    You guys like watch a movie, go because you want to. Don’t rely on the opinion of others.

    Case in point, Transformers 1, 2, and 3 got HORRIBLE reviews. But follow the money!!! For me, and people of my age and a little older, Transformers was a huge deal when I was a little kid, yes it was a glorified 20-minute toy commercial, BUT it was a part of my youth and to see a current adaptation using current vehicles and whatnot was refreshing and FUN to watch.

    In the end, that is all that counts. Transformers and movies that are just supposed to be FUN aren’t going to be 4 hour black and white foreign films you can go watch for $0.03 at some broken down theater. Movies are entertainment and can be a source of intellectual entertainment as well, but you can’t have it all in one way.

    Film and music critics alike can go suck eggs while the rest of us leave the theater entertained.

    It never hurts to have a wild array of interests, some of my favorite movies include:

    -Jacka– 1, 2 and the 3-D one.

    -The Shawshank Redemption

    -Forest Gump

    -Hero

    -Lucky Number Slevin

    -40 Year Old Virgin

    -Idiocracy

    -Glory

    -Let’s Go To Prison

    -Beer League

    -Transformers 1-3

    -Saving Private Ryan

    -Terminator 2

    -Rocky 1-4

    -Inception

    -Ironman 1 and 2

    -The Prestige

    -Batman Begins and the Dark Knight

    List goes on and on. Lots to choose from. From what snooty people like call “low-brow” comedies to the classics like “glory” and “shawshank redemption”… it dispells what critics call “good movies” when one is able to keep an open mind for the sake of real cinematic entertainment.

    yes, go see a movie only if you really want to.

    She hated it — the noise and violence got to her. She wanted to leave but stayed for her grandson’ sake.

    BYU starts off with road games at Ole Miss and Texas. They also have road games at Oregon St, TCU, and Hawaii. They could go 0-5 on the road with that schedule.

    The big problem? Too many people on the planet, not enough money.

    Nature has it’s way of balancing things out. I learned this, not from a “religious fanatic”, but from my physics professor in high school.

    Way before all this 2012 stuff came out, he was smart enough to realize the path we are on.

    Human advances in technology has more than tripled in the last decade. In the last decade we advanced in leaps and bounds compared to the previous 30 years.

    Something will give. No doomsday references needed here, just common sense and following patterns as evidenced in the realm of measurable science.

    We will have to answer to our own madness, our own arrogance and in my opinion I see NO EVIDENCE that we have the humility as a species to admit to our own faults. We’ll just keep on our path and BOOM!

    Pau.

    Rome fell and it will fall again. There is no “i” technology that will prevent it.

    gigi,

    Porcelain does crack, so gold is more practical especially for a bottom molar.By the way who look into a person’s mouth when they laugh? If it were a front tooth or a eye tooth, maybe procelain, molar, gold is the way to go, will last longer. But it is your mouth and if you are happy with a porcelain crown that is the way to go.

    I like to think that life is neither created or destroyed. That, barring any catastrophic event, there is always the same amount of life force on the planet at any given time. The more of one species there is, the less of some other or others. More humans, less trees, animals, etc.. One human life force being equivalent to tens of thousands of roaches. Live a bad life, come back as those tens of thousands of roaches as penance.

    Stumbled on and watched the press conference re: Tomey hire.

    Had a question that maybe our bloggers here could answer. One of the media people asked Mack if he would utilize Tomey as a point person to recruit (specifically the Samoan/Poly players). It was said by this media guy that Tomey is considered “Royalty” among the Samoan community because he encouraged many kids to play for his teams.

    Mack said that recruits would get to meet almost all the coaches but that Tioiti would be the point person for these recruits.

    Has anyone here heard the same about Tomey being well known/respected among Polynesian community?


  313. Kaimuki Kid August 2, 2011 4:04 pm

    Made in Hawaii,

    I hope that you didn’t swallow it and have to go fishing for it , with gold being as high as it right now. Anyway I talked to dental tech friend who exclusively makes crowns for the dentists and he said that procelain is a type of glass and if you bite down wrong on something hard it will crack. He said gold is the way to go especially if it involves a molars. You chew and grind with your molars, if you bite down the wrong way, back to the dentist for a new crown. I have 2 gold crowns, didn’t mind the crowns but did mind the root canals that went along with them… Don’t like the sound of the dental drill…


  314. madeinhawaii August 2, 2011 4:09 pm

    Kaimuki Kid,

    Thing is.. about 12 years ago I had a porcelain crown put in on the third tooth in.. right adjacent to the gold crown that came off.. apparently it was fitted too tightly and that caused me a lot of discomfort over the years, as well as bleeding, and eventually the metal post below the crown eroded and ended up looking like a mini golf tee. That corroding post may have entered my blood stream as raw toxic metal ions and contributed to my coronary disease. That and lau lau.

    Kaimuki Kid..

    The metal post was from the gold crown so it was from 30 years ago.. probably stainless steel.. maybe an alloy … since the metal, as it eroded, had no where to go, it probably entered my blood stream and was carried out…with maybe a few ions going astray and contributing to my arterial plaque build-up.

    will have a talk with my dentist regarding an implant, as my molar is kind of loose.

    The implant and crown I had done in 2006 cost me $3,200 total.

    Auwe! Ka-ching!

    Made,

    I think that estimated $500,000.00 figure was based on filing a suit against the NCAA only.

    IF that story is indeed true, then I think Hansen has every right to seek legal justice.

    Like I mentioned above, while the majority of that story is horrible, the thing that sticks out to me is the alleged word that Hansen was “mis-diagnosed” by UH medical officials. Again, had this not been an issue, the rest would be non-existant.

    The SFGate reports “The Raiders confirmed the re-signing of Samson Satele and the signing of tackle Stephon Heyer, guard Justin Smiley and tackle Seth Wand.”

  363. Ralph August 2, 2011 8:56 pm

    Thoughts from the Darkside mentioned that Heyer comes to Oakland from the ‘Skin because he did not fit in Shanahan’s zone blocking scheme, he is more suited to the anticipated power blocking scheme Oakland is said to be installing. Here we go again, come on out Pride, I know you have an opinion on both schemes because I mentioned that Satele had some bad press regarding a shift to the power blocking format of coach Hue Jackson and Bob Wylie.

    re#156 melancholyone

    As someone who has been banned for telling the truth about how money hungry SA is. I can tell you for a fact that there is a definite conservative slant you just do not see it because it is being covered up very well.

    The stories I could tell you about how they they operate would send chills down your spine.

    How do I know? Being an insider helps. Having heard directly from multiple parties involved. Being a victim helps.

    Am I wanting to get back? No, I thank them for helping me to get out. I’m in a much better place now.

    It’s just I know for a fact there are many others who are much worse off now. They deserve to have their stories heard too. But no one will tell them.

    Is it censorship? Yes it most definitely is!


  365. LizKauai (macbook) August 2, 2011 8:58 pm

    btw- Good luck to Austin Hansen.

    I hate when lawsuits are necessary to get simple justice.

    When my kids were finally diagnosed with learning difficulties that would have gotten them into Assets School they were already in high school and I was advised that it would cost about $300K per person and 3 years to sue the state to get they education they were legally entitled to.

    Sigh.

    FYI

    If you have any kind of break in the skin, wash immediately with bactericidal soap and water, apply a topical antibiotic ointment, and go see your doctor. If redness, warmth and pain to the area persist, go to your nearest ER for a possible incision and drainage of the wound and IV antibiotic therapy. It could be nothing more than a cellulitis or it could be a life threatening necrotizing fasciitis.

    Complications

    By Mayo Clinic staff

    This reddened skin or rash may signal a deeper, more serious infection of the inner layers of skin. Once below your skin, the bacteria can spread rapidly, entering your lymph nodes and your bloodstream and spreading throughout your body. Recurrent episodes of cellulitis may actually damage the lymphatic drainage system and cause chronic swelling of the affected extremity.

    In rare cases, the infection can spread to the deep layer of tissue called the fascial lining. Flesh-eating strep, also called necrotizing fasciitis, is an example of a deep-layer infection. It represents an extreme emergency.


  378. LizKauai (macbook) August 2, 2011 9:28 pm

    #379 – I just went through that scenario a few weeks ago! Caught the strep in my foot at the cellulitis stage in the ER. Two days of IV antibiotics did it.


  379. R Smoke August 2, 2011 9:29 pm

    Re-Austin Hansen

    I wrote (e-mailed) to Andy Staples (college football writer for Sport’s Ilustrated.com) to keep an eye on this story.

    Can you keep an eye on this story? Maybe run a story someday accentuating the fact that so called big name schools get caught for cheating and receive slap on the wrist type penalties whereas athletes, like Hansen, didn’t appear to cheat faces the full wrath of the NCAA and has to sit out the season. It’s not fair.

    And I’m hoping that you can craft a story that the public can see, so that the NCAA is shamed.

    Is it censorship? Yes it most definitely is!

    Oh, I know it’s conservative. It’s just that it’s in a supposedly liberal rag.

    It’s Orwellian. I think my banned comment had it as cyberpunkish, Orwellian, noir fiction.

    But it’s true.

    Nothing would surprise me. After they butchered and cannibalized the other daily, nothing would surprise me.

    I tried that hyprocritical free press, free speech, censorship argument. Didn’t work.

    But you know something that’s great?

    They shut off the comments from those that don’t subscribe.

    I won’t have to read as much now.

    Concerning DJ’s and shi shi songs…

    I DJ’ed most nights while in the Army, from 1983-1990. Since most of that time was overseas in Korea, the two most requested songs from old rockers were “American Pie” by Don McLean and “Hotel California” by the Eagles.

    Weirdest song was “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport” by Rolf Harris… requested by some visiting Aussie Navy dudes.
