The son, everyone should be aware that flu season is also just around the corner. Each year, many university students get the flu, resulting in missed classes and exams. The virus spreads rapidly due to close living conditions, lowered resistance, and stress. The flu hits this area around exam time or just as students arrive back from winter break. No one wants to suffer through the flu during times that are stressful enough for students. There are some important facts about the flu that all students should be aware of. The flu is unpredictable and can be severe. In the United States, between 5% and 20% of the population gets the flu each flu season. It’s estimated that more than 200,000 people in the U.S. are hospitalized from flu-related complications on average each season, including 20,000 children younger than 5 years old.

SCOPE It Out! Did You Know? by Michelle R. Morra
Wow! Can you believe that it has been two weeks since the last newspaper? Well even though the paper took a break, SCOPE didn’t; that’s right, we kept the events coming, and boy were there a lot of them. All the committees were busy planning and executing events; I don’t think I have ever seen so many people work so hard. Let’s start with Film Committee. The days off really through off their schedule, but they still showed movies and filled students stomachs with delicious snacks. So the movie two weeks ago was Bad Teacher, and as a special Fall Break treat instead of having the movie in the Café, like they usually do, they co-sponsored with Weekend Programming and had it in the Quad. It was great seeing the movie on the big screen and getting that feel of a movie in the park. And to top off the night, there was popcorn! It was delicious and made the night complete. This past week’s movie could only be shown once because of the break, but everyone took advantage of the showing. Over one hundred students showed up to see Horrible Bosses and boy was it worth it. Not only was the movie hilarious, but Film had ice cream. That’s right you heard me ICE CREAM! Chocolate and vanilla with three choices for toppings were available, and students were in line before the tops were off. Great movies and delicious snacks, and there is still more to come. This Friday, October 21 in Bartels Café at 9:00 p.m., Film will be showing the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II and will be having a Pre-Party before hand with wand making, psychics, and more! Comedy and Lecture Committee has been busy too and man was there event great! On Thursday, October 13 they had Comedian Sword Swallower Dan Meyer appear in the German Club, and it was such a good show. First the performer had to hypnotize himself so that he wouldn’t gag when he put the sword down his throat. Then he started what he does best, swallowing swords. Of course he had to play a trick on the audience and swallow a fake sword first; it wouldn’t have been funny if he didn’t. And then the real stuff came; you should have seen the shock on students faces! They couldn’t believe what he was doing. It was an amazing show, definitely worth the shock and awe! And Comedy and Lecture has more shock and awe coming this week with a co-sponsorship with Victimology Club for The Stacey Lannert Story in Dodds Theater at 7:30 p.m.. She is coming to talk about her story of sexual abuse and hopefully help some students with their problems. Day Programming was also working hard putting on The Butt Sketch and Caracturists event on Monday. If you walked by the Programming Space on Monday after 12:30 p.m. you would have seen a mob of students in line waiting to get their butt sketched or their face, front, and back. The artists were amazing! They did a really great job on all the drawings of students and the students loved them. Day Programming is bringing more fun next week with Stuff-A-Bear with Costumes which will be in the Programming Space from 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.; come get a Halloween buddy! Weekend Programming worked hard all weekend putting on some great events. On Friday there was Laser scribe pens and Photo Whiteboards, and the students loved it. They were able to get their name or favorite saying on a pen, which will help get everybody good grades I hope. And then students got their picture taken with friends and had it put onto a whiteboard. It was really cool; students were drawing funny faces on their friends the rest of the night. On Saturday, we took a trip to Lyman Orchards. Students had a great time picking apples and running through the corn maze and getting lost. It was a fun time for all, and there is more fun coming this weekend. On Friday, October 21 in the Programming Space, the Go Green event will be going on starting at 6:00 p.m. On Saturday, October 22, Pumpkin Painting in the Programming Space at 6:00 p.m. And on Sunday, October 23, we will be walking in the Breast Cancer Walk. So we agree that SCOPE has been busy. And there are more events to come!
NASA – Part 1
by Joann Wolwowicz
This summer, Americans were able to witness the ending of an era. After 30 years of discovery, the final space shuttle mission ended on July 21, 2011 when the space shuttle Atlantis landed for the final time at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. With the end of the Space Shuttle Program, it seems only fair to look back into the history of this amazing program that had its first launch on April 12, 1981 and has proved to be a program of achievement and records. NASA or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was established in 1958 as an independent United States government agency. Its purpose was for the research and development of vehicles and activities for the exploration of space. These goals extended to both the space within and outside of Earth’s atmosphere. NASA was created largely in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik in 1957. The organization was well underway by the early years of the Kennedy administration. President John F. Kennedy even proposed that the United States would put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960’s. NASA is composed of five programs. The first program, Aeronautics and Space Technology, was established for the development of equipment. The second program was labeled Space Science and Applications, and its purpose was to deal with programs for understanding the origin, structure, and evolution of the universe, the solar system, and the Earth. Space Flight was the program concerned with manned and unmanned space transportation and all matters to do with the space shuttles. Space Tracking and Data involved tracking and data acquisition. Lastly, the Space Station was the program which had a long-term goal of establishing a manned space station. Additionally, after Kennedy proposed his goal for the American Space Program, the Apollo program was designed. In 1969, U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man on the Moon. However, Armstrong’s mission was not the initial U.S. effort to launch a human into space. The first project was known as Project Mercury. NASA engineers, led by Robert Gilruth and Maxime Faget, designed a small cone-shaped capsule for the mission. NASA planned several suborbital test flights in which an astronaut would be in space for only a few minutes of his 15-minute up-and-down ride. Only after the Mercury equipment was checked and the effects of suborbital flight on the human body were measured would the United States commit to an orbital flight attempt. The Mercury capsule would parachute with its passenger all the way back to Earth’s surface, to land in the ocean and be recovered by navy ships. John H. Glenn, Jr., became the first American astronaut to orbit Earth in his three-orbit mission on February 20, 1962. On July 16, 1969, astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin, and Michael Collins set off on the Apollo 11 mission, the first lunar landing attempt. The Lunar Module, nicknamed Eagle, landed on a flat lava plain called the Sea of Tranquility at 4:18 p.m. U.S. Eastern Daylight Time on July 20. The successful Apollo 12 mission followed in November 1969. However, the Apollo 13 mission, launched in April 1970, experienced an explosion of an oxygen tank. Thankfully, the crew survived this accident. Four more Apollo missions followed. The final mission, Apollo 17, which was conducted in December 1972, included geologist Harrison Schmitt, the only trained scientist to set foot on the Moon. An Apollo spacecraft was used for the last time in 1975. The United States had won the race to the Moon, but that many believe that the race had been motivated primarily by political considerations. Consequentially, after the early 1970s, there was no interest within the U.S. government for the next three decades in additional lunar exploration or in sending people to Mars. Stay tuned next week for Did You Know – NASA – Part 2.
Student Affairs Spotlight: Office of Intercultural Relations An interview with Wanda Tyler, Director of Intercultural Relations
By Isaak Kifle
What can you say about the history of this office? Originally, the office began as the Office of Multicultural Affairs, and its services were limited to students of various racial and ethnic groups. Around the late summer and early fall of 2006, the name changed to the Office of Intercultural Relations to reflect the expansion that had taken place around that time to better reflect and serve the full range of diversity within the campus community. Who comprises the staff? The staff consists of myself, the Director of Intercultural Relations, as well as four undergraduate student assistants.
Office Location: Bartels Hall Top Floor Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. or by appointment
What services does the office provide to students? The Office of Intercultural Relations provides information about the diversity located on campus and in the community. It also provides various programs, services, and resources to enhance awareness, understanding, and acceptance of the different groups that make up the campus community. For example, the office coordinates a Safe Zone program, where faculty and staff as well as graduate and undergraduate students are trained on how to understand and disseminate information about the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community. The office also has a diversity resource center, containing written and multimedia sources of information about diversity related to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion/spirituality; all members of the campus community are free to check out items. The Office of Intercultural Relations also works with many of the cultural student organizations on campus, either as an advisor, co-sponsor, or just a source of information and assistance. Some of those cultural organizations include the Latin American Student Association (LASA), Black Student Union (BSU), Caribbean Student Association, PRIDE, Hillel, and the cultural Greek organizations, among others. Lastly, the office works with the Office of Academic Services (next week’s spotlight) to identify and monitor students in need of assistance. Is there anything else you would like students to know? The Office of Intercultural Relations is working to expand its efforts to collaborate with other offices and departments to present panels and workshops on various diversity-related topics. The diversity resource center is expanding and looking for contributions, so anyone with books, CDs, DVDs, or other materials on diversity willing to donate will be greatly appreciated! Lastly, the office has an open door policy, so while it’s open everyone should feel free to come in, talk with Wanda, and see what Intercultural Relations can do for you!

Democratdominated states tend to have higher percentages of very rich people, higher percentages of very poor people, and a lower percentage of middle-income people.” The analysis concluded that 0.29 percent of taxpayers in the 18 states that elected two Democratic senators would be taxed under the proposed law compared to only 0.17 percent of taxpayers in the 15 states that elected two Republican senators.
Reportedly, 1.2 percent of taxpayers in Connecticut would be affected by the tax. The tax would impose a 5.6 percent surtax on taxpayers whose income is more than $1 million per year — hence its name. Because the tax would be imposed on sources other than salaries and wages (investment income such as capital gains and dividends would be included and many deductions would be eliminated), it would result in a greater

their arXiv server. The team was careful not to draw firm conclusions about their data. “We deliberately do not attempt any theoretical or phenomenological interpretation of the results,” the authors wrote in the final paragraph of their paper. However, that hasn’t stopped speculation from scientists and others, most of it highly skeptical. Physics Professor Jim Al-Khalili, who teaches at Surrey University in the U.K., told the London Telegraph, “If the CERN experiment proves to be correct and neutrinos have broken the speed of light, I will eat my boxer shorts on live TV.” AlKhalili and others point to possible errors in the tools used to measure the neutrinos’ speed. Lawrence M. Krauss, director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University, wrote an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times in which he explained that the measurement is the result of a complex statistical process. “It must take into account the modeling of the detectors and

were going at 1.000025 times light speed. Cornell University Professor of Astrophysics Saul Teukolsky said in the Cornell Daily Sun that if CERN’s speed is accurate, the neutrinos from the supernova should have arrived four years earlier, in 1983. Not everyone is as dismissive of the results, however. So far, public scrutiny has not turned up any major errors. Many scientists have acknowledged that the CERN team was as careful as possible in collecting its measurements. Some initial critics have even become converts.

Only two other facilities in the world currently have the capacity to conduct experiments with similar accuracy. One is the MINOS Experiment, which shoots neutrinos between Fermilab near Chicago and a lab in Northern Minnesota. The other is Japan’s T2K experiment, which sends neutrinos from an accelerator in Tokai to the Super-Kamiokande detector in Kamioka. The Kamioka lab was closed after the March 11 earthquake. Both groups have begun looking at their existing data for comparison. Those analyses could be out within a few months, but any new experiments could take several years. In the meantime, Einstein’s speed limit remains one of the pillars of modern physics. Whether that pillar begins to crack or not, the debate is a reminder that nothing in science is sacred.
York City exhibit has effectively changed that. Bodies, The Exhibition, is an interactive museumtype learning experience geared to take the mystery away from the way the human body functions. The exhibit, which is in a building on a busy street in the Seaport area of Manhattan, has over 200 cadavers and specimens that have
been specially preserved so they will never decay. They’re preserved through a revolutionary process called polymer preservation, which was initiated in the late 1970’s, and which is so effective that specimens from that era are still used worldwide to teach medical students.

Scientists Discover Particles Traveling Faster than Light – Maybe
By BRANDON T. BISCEGLIA STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
When Albert Einstein introduced his theory of special relativity to the world in 1905, he launched a new era of physics that still dominates today. Now one of the lynchpins of his theory – that nothing travels faster than light – is coming under question. Scientists at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory near L’Aquila, Italy, claim to have observed neutrinos exceeding the speed of light. The particles were transmitted to Gran Sasso from the CERN particlephysics laboratory about 450 miles away in Geneva, Switzerland. The experiment was part of the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tracking Apparatus (OPERA) collaboration. The researchers discovered in March that the neutrinos appeared to be arriving 60 nanoseconds faster than light would over the same distance. They cross-checked the findings for six months before releasing the data to the public on Sept. 22 on

Vo l u n t e e r s walked, worked registration tables, and counted the donations Schiller said “assisting all part of giving their time with the event was a won-
derful experience. The sheer volume of people participating in the walk was amazing.” The event raised over $11,000 towards cancer research. If you are interested in joining SMILE, please email them at SMILE@newhaven.edu or GSC at GSCPresident@ newhaven. edu to get involved.
Anonymous Threatens NYSE, But Doesn’t Do Anything By CULLEN MCLANE STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
“We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.” Those words are the motto of Anonymous. Anonymous is the name of a somewhat disorganized group of hackers spread across the internet. Who exactly they are is a bit of a mystery, because as their name would imply, they like to remain anonymous. Members of the group can generally be found lurking around the dark corners of the interwebs, on sites like 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramat-
ica (places which anyone who values their sanity should stay far, far away from), but they remain mysterious due to how easy it is to keep ones’ identity a secret when hiding behind an online persona. When the group appears in public, they tend to be seen wearing Guy Fawkes masks, probably better known as “those masks from that V For Vendetta” movie. It’s not much of a surprise that Anonymous is a fan of Guy Fawkes, or that it likes V For Vendetta, considering the fact that Guy Fawkes was a man who attempted to assassinate the king of Eng-
land, and V For Vendetta is a comic book/film that tells the story of a revolution against a totalitarian government. Anonymous seems to see itself in a similar light, essentially viewing themselves as rebels against the man. It would take forever to list all of Anonymous’ wacky escapades, but a few noteworthy targets of theirs include The Epilepsy Foundation Forum, The Church of Scientology, The Oregon Tea Party, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the government of Zimbabwe. They also enjoyed spoiling the endings to Harry Potter books. While their in-
tentions sometimes seem noble-one would have a tough time defending the government of Iran, or The Church of Scientology- other times, other times they seem to be attacking out of sheer malice, such as their attack on The Epilepsy Foundation forums, in which they posted brightly flashing images in a successful attempt to trigger seizures in the forum’s users. Anonymous claims they weren’t responsible, and were being framed by The Church of Scientology, but this is up for debate. There’s also the matter of their methods, which have involved posting peoples’ private
information such as phone numbers and addresses on the Internet for all to see, leaving people open for harassment, a pretty dirty tactic to use on anyone. So what was their latest adventure; taking out The New York Stock Exchange. Anonymous was displeased with the arrest of demonstrators in the recent Occupy Wall Street protests, and as a result, decided to take some action. In an address to the world in the form of Youtube video, a distorted computerized voice claimed that the NYSE would be
tie agrees. At an hour long press conference, he announced his choice to stay by New Jersey’s side. He clearly stated, “I will not abandon my commitment to New Jersey; I will fix a broken New Jersey. I'm proud of the work we've done, but I know I'm not nearly done." Christie had a playful tone throughout the whole conference. On a serious note, he refused to mention which prominent Republicans were encouraging him to run. Many speculate that Nancy Regan was a huge influence. Christie did however admit that he had spoken to at least one
former president about the matter. It’s clear that he had a fair chance at 2012. However, he did hint at his disappointment with certain critics that say that he’s ‘too fat’ to be president. "They further stigmatize people in a way that is really irrelevant to people’s ability to do a particular job," Christie said. If Governor Christie would have decided to run, he would have had an extremely wealthy campaign. Wealthy entrepreneurs and supporters from all over the country had been pledging millions into his campaign. On the
other hand, money isn’t the only thing that makes a campaign. He would have had to set up elaborate ground games and strategies in order to win. Towards the end of the hour long press conference, he stated his opinions on President Barack Obama. Even though he mentioned that the country would be better off if Obama turns out to be a one term president, he didn’t state who he thought should be the 2012 Republican candidate. One thing is for sure, Jersey is going to have Chris Christie sticking around for a while.

NJ Governor Chooses Not to Run in 2012 Election
By CRISTAL REYES STAFF WRITER

Chris Christie is a name that can either make one smile or frown…depending on one’s political affiliation. The New Jersey governor has been the center of much controversy. Whether or not he was going to put his foot in the 2012 presidential elections was one of the biggest controversies in the media most recently. Many critics critiqued the governor for even considering leaving New Jersey after only 20 months in office. Apparently, Chris-
Tanning Beds Banned for Minors in California By LIZ DE LA TORRE STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
Glorified by MTV’s Jersey Shore and other reality shows, it is no surprise that tanning beds have become a popular trend among younger audiences. In fact, research conducted by Indoor Tanning Association reveals that teens under 18 make up five to ten percent of tanning bed users on a national scale. But now, that sweet bronze, and sometimes orange, tan is stirring some protest from the youth. As part of new California legislation, it seems that teens will have to resort to getting natural
tans. Just last week, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill that, effective Jan. 1, 2012, will forbid teens under 18 from using tanning beds. Pending the execution of the new law, teens under 14 will still be restricted from access to tanning beds in California. Moreover, teens between the ages of 15 and 17, with the exception of parental permission, will be allowed limited access. Although California is the first state to enact this law, other states including New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Texas are also endorsing this by including age restrictions for tanning beds. As the craze for tan-
ning beds progressed over the years, tanning salons were able to entice customers into tanning for the perfect look. According to Time magazine, a study by NCI revealed that 71% of tanning salons allowed tanning every day for the first week and presented customers with “unlimited tanning” discounts in 2009. Though never actually evading criticisms, tanning salons disregarded many rules and regulations due to the soaring popularity of tanning in media and fashion. Consequently, less than 11% of tanning salons refused to comply with government sanctions on sunlamp exposure
in the same study found in Time magazine. At present, the new law has generated vast support from people who have cited tanning beds as a precursor to cancer. Senator Ted Lieu has applauded the law as an effort to have healthy measures protect teens: “I praise Gov. Brown for his courage in taking this much-needed step to protect some of California’s most vulnerable residents -- our kids -- from what the ‘House of Medicine’ has conclusively shown is lethally dangerous: ultravioletemitting radiation from tanning beds.”

It’s safe to assume that either the NYSE’s security was too good or Anonymous was full of hot air the whole time. Either way, nothing actually happened. Anonymous was successful though in the sense that they managed to scare people. They live to create chaos, and they will continue to do so as long as people allow them too.

parts of the country. Talks of personal space crafts were brought up, to help employ the 9,000 former NASA employees. These talks were later put down due to the amount of risk involved with personal space crafts. NASA engineer, Angie Buffaloe told the daily mail reporter that, “I spend more time with these guys (fellow coworkers) than I do my family. We’ve been through everything: divorce, sick children, grandchildren. They’ve been there. We’ve shared a life together…and now their last day is today.” According to the daily mail reporter, NASA administrator, Charles Bolden said the agency would try to bring back unemployed shuttle workers to help on
private-sector spaceflight ventures or for NASA’s effort to build a vehicle for an eventual mission to an asteroid or Mars. In its final flight, Atlantis brought a large amount of supplies to the international space station set up throughout the years of the space program. The future for American astronauts looks grim. From now on, if an American astronaut wants to go to the space station, they have to rely on the Russians to send them. According to MSNBC, each seat for the American astronauts will cost about $63 million. There are no plans to bring the space program out of retirement any time soon.
formation. The prisoners were beaten with rubber hoses, iron bars, and other objects, all while suspended from the ceiling, hung by their wrists by chains or other devices attached to the wall. These beatings would last for extremely lengthy periods, and the most common beating was to have wooden sticks beat against the soles of their feet. Some detainees experienced electric shock, the twisting and wrenching of their genitals, forced standing or kneeling, and the removal of toenails, if not among others. They were also sexually abused. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has reported on most of these beatings, and they have documented the denial of medical care in some of the detention facilities. One known death was also documented, which was a result of the beatings while in the custody of the Afghani government. 379 pre-trial detainees and
convicted prisoners reported the beatings at various Afghan government facilities, dating between October 2010 and August 2011. The response to these allegations was, “Despite their cruel and barbaric acts,” terrorists are being treated “humanely and in accordance with the law,” the Afghan government stated. “Beginning from their arrest and investigation to the final verdict of the court, they are treated in accordance with the Islamic and humanitarian norms.” The UNAMA claims that 125 detainees who were interviewed that had been in the NDS (National Directorate of Security) detention had experienced the interrogation techniques earlier described. Some torture was also conducted on children under the age of eighteen. It noted in their rebuttal that the children were not holding I.D. cards and that the government couldn’t tell they were underage but,
as soon as they gained knowledge of a minor in their presence, they were immediately transferred to a Juvenile prosecution office.

For the past month, reports and incriminating allegations have been spread indicating that systematic torture and serious human rights violations have been a pandemic in Afghanistan prisons for quite some time now. Not only are these allegations against the Afghan prisons, they are also against the U.S. military.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa may have found some new competition. Big Ben in London, the most identifiable landmark, has been recorded as having a tilt of 0.26 degrees. This tilt of one foot off the vertical is said to be visible to the naked eye, but is not a cause for alarm. “We’re talking about unbelievably small movements,” said John Burland, an engineering professor at Imperial College London who has been involved in the study of the tower. At the current rate of 0.9mm a year, Big Ben will reach the tilt of its competitor, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in around 4,000 years. The Leaning
Tower of Pisa is currently recorded as being tilted four degrees, or 12 feet off the vertical. While the clock tower has been off-center since it was erected in the midnineteenth century, the accelerating tilt is partially the effect of constant underground construction underneath the landmark. These would include the sewer systems, an underground car park, and the Jubilee line station. Other factors such as seasonal temperature and moisture level changes could also be factors of the accelerated tilt. The movements of Big Ben have caused cracks in the walls of the other parts of the tower, affecting the office of ministers in the House of Commons.

There are
terrible, weird, and wonderful things happening, he said. “It’s also a fascinating chance for conversation.” By contrast, Brubaker’s visit to the academy will focus more on what Chinese culture can offer the West. His essay on literati painting explored one piece of that question. It investigates five features
of the practice of literati painting that help illustrate the Chinese notion that “aesthetic appreciation stems from contact with a place or location in which self is inseparable from natural environment.” Brubaker views his interaction with Chinese culture as a learning experience. “Many of these works are just being trans-
tistical data for 2009, only 236,883 taxpayers who filed returns for that year had an adjusted gross income of over $1 million. Thus, it is estimated that only a small fraction of the taxpaying public (maybe as low as 0.2%) would be affected by the tax. The millionaires tax was originally proposed to pay for President Obama’s
jobs plan. If passed, the tax would go into effect on January 1, 2013. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it would raise $452.7 billion over ten years, more than enough to pay for the $447 billion in spending and tax cuts included in the president’s plan. It is just the latest proposed tax tinkering to increase
spending or to reduce the deficit. An earlier proposal would have limited tax deductions for those earning $250,000 or more. Neither proposal was part of a comprehensive tax reform so desperately needed by a complex and — at times — incomprehensible US tax code. The last comprehensive revision of the code was in 1986.

Thousands Honor MLK at Memorial Dedication in DC
By BRETT ZONGKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
–––––––––––––––––––––
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of people spanning all ages and races honored the legacy of the nation’s foremost civil rights leader during Sunday’s formal dedication of the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. Aretha Franklin, poet Nikki Giovanni and President Barack Obama were among those who attended the more than four-hour ceremony. King’s children and other leaders spoke before the president, invoking his “I Have a Dream” speech and calling upon a new generation to help fully realize that dream. Some in the crowd arrived as early as 5 a.m., and the crowd eventually overflowed beyond the park gates. Some women wore large Sunday hats for the occasion. The president arrived late morning with his wife and two daughters, which drew loud cheers from those watching his entrance on large screens. Cherry Hawkins traveled from Houston with her cousins and arrived at 6 a.m. to be part of the dedication. They postponed earlier plans to attend the August dedication, which was postponed because of Hurricane Irene. “I wanted to do this for my kids and grandkids,” Hawkins said. She expects the memorial will be in their history books some-

day. “They can say, ‘Oh, my granny did that.’” Hawkins, her cousin DeAndrea Cooper and Cooper’s daughter Brittani Jones, 23, visited the King Memorial on Saturday after joining a march with the Rev. Al Sharpton to urge Congress to pass a jobs bill. “You see his face in the memorial, and it’s kind of an emotional moment,” Cooper said. “It’s beautiful. They did a wonderful job.” A stage for speakers and thousands of folding chairs were set up on a field near the memorial along with large TV screens. Most of the 10,000 chairs set out appeared to be full. Many other people were standing. The August ceremony had been expected to draw 250,000, though organizers anticipated about 50,000 for Sunday’s event. Actress Cicely Tyson said her contemporaries are passing the torch to a new generation and passed the microphone to 12-yearold Amandla Stenberg. The girl recalled learning about the civil rights movement in school and named four young girls killed in a 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, Ala.

In the 2003 Toronto event, he set the mark in the 90-plus category, finishing the race in 5 hours, 40 minutes and 1 second. And on Thursday in Toronto, Singh broke world records for runners older than 100 in eight different distances ranging from 100 meters to 5,000 meters.

100-Year-Old Marathoner Finishes Race

––––––––––––––––––––– TORONTO (AP) — A 100-year-old runner became the oldest person to complete a full-distance marathon when he finished the race in Toronto on Sunday. Fauja Singh earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for his accomplishment.

use. The CMA wants the White House to reclassify it to help promote further research on its medical potential. Earlier this year, the Obama administration turned down a request to reclassify marijuana. That decision is being appealed in federal court by legalization advocates. Lyman called current laws a "failed public health policy." But critics within the medical community said association leaders did not consider the broader implications of legalizing marijuana. "I think it's going to lead
to more use, and that, to me, is a public health concern," Dr. Robert DuPont, an M.D. and professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical School, told the Times. Members of the CMA, which represents more than 35,000 California physicians, were informed of the trustees' vote Saturday. It is the first major medical association in the nation to urge legalization of cannabis, according to a group spokeswoman. The group's decision provoked an angry response from some in law enforcement.
"Given everything that we know about the physiological impacts of marijuana — how it affects young brains, the number of accidents associated with driving under the influence — it's just an unbelievably irresponsible position," said John Lovell, spokesman for the California Police Chiefs Association. The CMA's parent organization, the American Medical Association, has said the federal government should consider easing research restrictions, according to the Times.

It makes me proud to be the chief of this department.” In other words, firefighters put themselves at risk every day in their careers, but this cliff incident could have had a much worse ending if the firefighters hadn’t thought things through. While rescuing the girl, Lieutenant Schwartz was in speaking distance of her when his footing gave way and he fell 65 feet down and injured his
ankle. A second fire fighter was struck by a falling rock, and a third was left hanging from a rope for 45 minutes. “The students left the scene physically unscathed”, as the Yale Daily news says, but the three firefighters were brought to a local hospital to have their injuries assessed. The Friday afterwards, Lieutenant Schwartz was still in the hospital because Thursday night he needed surgery for his injured ankle, which had been examined and revealed a compound fracture. This incident is, as City Hall spokesman Adam
Joseph said is, “another reminder why it is against the law and why people should not climb the face of East Rock.” He also said “the fire department did a terrific job responding to a dangerous situation.” Since the incident could have been prevented, the students were charged with misdemeanors for reckless endangerment of firefighters and with violating a local ordinance forbidding the climbing of the rock. The two students will be in court on October 19 for these charges.

Communication is a very important part of nearly everything we do on a daily basis, and with technological advances, everyone has only become more connected. Despite virtually everyone being connected, many always connected via smartphone, somehow, SOMEHOW, people still manage to communicate poorly with each other. For some, it’s a lack of utilizing the resources at hand, while for others it’s more about simply not getting in touch with the other party. Regardless of why the breakdown started, I think everyone would agree that it’s really irritating when

That problem is me constantly going on my phone and while I try to not be that person, I can’t bear to not see why my phone just vibrated. If it’s an email, I want to respond as quickly as possible, a text, well I might ignore those sometimes, but I still want to look at my phone. While my issue is checking my phone too much, some
people have the opposite problem: never checking their phone at all, or in the realm of the internet, never checking their email.
properly! I’m not suggesting that everyone be on their devices constantly checking their email or waiting for a phone call that just might happen, but c’mon folks, check every once in a while. I think a good rule of thumb would be to check your email a minimum of once a day. Wait longer and you might rack up a few too many to consider manageable, and then you’ll never want to read (or delete) them all. As for phones, yes, they can check for new emails every few minutes, but if you have a problem like I do, you can always increase the amount of time before your phone checks for mail, and that way when your device goes off, it will probably be more worth your time to look
at anyway! In the end, as with many other things, it’s all about moderation. Check devices too much and you’ll drive yourself crazy, too little and you’ll drive everyone else crazy. Shoot for the happy medium! Here’s the beauty of communication, it requires communicating (I know, far fetched). So if you want to plan an event with someone else or setup an appointment or anything requiring you and someone or something else, you need to reach out and talk to the other party or parties involved! There’s no magic in communicating, so no one should expect something to plan itself. Related to this, timing is important. Need six weeks to plan something? You
should probably start getting in touch with people that far in advance. If you wait until the last minute, sure, some people might be willing to do a mad dash to get everything ready, but others will refuse and leave you in a tricky situation. Just make it simple and get in touch with people earlier rather than later! Last quick point, it’s fine and good if you plan ahead, but if you leave one detail out and don’t check if one key person, facility, etc. is available, than you might waste a bunch of time for something that can’t happen. Cover all your bases and make sure everyone and everything is on board in advance!
about certain aspects of UNH through the system. All it will take is a little getting used to. Mind you, because this is the first semester it’s up and running, there are still going to be some minor issues, but they are getting resolved. But my issue with the system does not stem from the system as a whole. It involves all of the students of the university and how they are using the new system. Because ChargerConnection now has become a student’s cocurricular transcript, the system will create a list of organizations of which you
are an active member of. This transcript can follow you outside of college, and it can be an accurate repre-
students are taking advantage of the idea. On ChargerConnection, you can ask to “join” an organization to add it to your transcript. By clicking the “join” button, this signifies that you are an active member, have paid your dues, and participate by going to meetings and events. However, some people have gotten “click” happy. There are numerous students, and I’m sure any club or organization president can attest to this statement, that have overused this “join” an organization feature, especially by asking to join organizations they have never been a part of. This isn’t Facebook, and it’s different than just “liking” an
organization. It’s meant to serve as an official listing of your involvement, not your attempt as looking more involved than you actually are. With that being said, if you are one of those people asking to join many organizations you do not contribute to, please stop adding organizations to your list. If you wish to actually be a part of something, go to that organization’s meetings and events and contact the e-board with questions as to how to become a member. Also, if you are on the e-board of a club or organization with the ability to accept or decline people on ChargerConnection, please try to not accept everyone just to bolster your numbers. It’s
not fair to the club to have a long roster full of people who are only members in name and not actively participating. Just remember, ChargerConnection is meant to organize all club information: events, rosters, flyers, etc. It is not Facebook. If you want to just “like” an organization, like them on Facebook, not on ChargerConnection. This is not the place for that, nor should it be. It’s a system that was set up to make things easier. You have no business being on the list for an organization, if you are not an active participant, so do not be offended when you are denied for the roster. This is how the roster system is now going to work.

However, they do not guarantee that the effect will occur. In logic, they can be phrased as “without x, there can be no y.” For example, a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below is a necessary condition for snow, because anything warmer will result in rain. But a
cold day doesn’t always bring snow. It could just as easily be cold and sunny. Sufficient conditions, on the other hand, do guarantee that an effect will occur. They can be phrased as “if x, then y.” With a sufficient condition, though, the same effect can also occur for some other reason. If, for instance, the president signs a bill given to him by Congress (a sufficient condition), it automatically becomes a law (the effect). However, it doesn’t have to happen that way. The president could veto the bill, and Congress could vote to override his veto. In that case, the bill still becomes a law, even though it wasn’t signed. The difference between the two types of conditions may seem subtle, but the distinction has profound implications. In the situation of the bill, the president’s signature is not a necessary condition, because it can be overturned by another branch of government. Our entire system of “checks and bal-
ances” depends on these careful divisions of necessary conditions and sufficient conditions. If you are trying to convince someone of your position in an argument, you usually want your conditions to be both necessary and sufficient. It is the strongest indication that two events are causally linked, because this kind of condition always leads to the effect, and the effect cannot happen without it. The application of heat is both a necessary and a sufficient condition for cooking. You can’t cook without heat, and heating food guarantees that it will cook. Cooking is, in fact, defined as what happens to food when heat is applied to it. They always occur together. If you take a little time to learn some common academic expressions, you’ll be more prepared when you inevitably encounter the seemingly impenetrable language of many documents.

Insensitivity to injustice and basic human rights is a worldwide problem. I recently reviewed a number of articles on human rights, peace, injustice, and the intolerance of diversity. One does not have to look far to see the implications from lack of love and lack of acceptance. Many people write about other countries and what they need to do to in order to achieve some sort of democracy. Yet, when I look in my own back yard, I see a startling amount of intolerance. I am often surprised by the human spirit; its fight, its resilience, and its ability to heal after extremities. I have learned that one can prevail under the most dire

New Haven Powers Past American International, 34-20
A CHARGER ATHLETICS PRESS RELEASE
–––––––––––––––––––––
WEST HAVEN, Conn. - The University of New Haven football team stayed undefeated in the Northeast-10 Conference with a 34-20 victory over American International College Saturday afternoon at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. With the win, the Chargers improved to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the Northeast-10 Conference, while the Yellow Jackets fell to 4-3, 3-2 NE-10. AIC won the opening toss and deferred to the second half. Despite receiving the ball first, the Chargers could not capitalize and threw an interception at their own 44-yard line. Six plays later, the Yellow Jackets connected on a 23-yard field goal to gain a 3-0 lead in less than four minutes of play. New Haven would retaliate on their following possession. Starting at their own 38-yard line, Ryan Osiecki (Seymour, Conn./Seymour / Univ. of Louisville) and Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) orchestrated a nineplay, 62 yard drive in under five minutes to go ahead, 7-3. The drive was capped off by a 17-yard touchdown pass from Osiecki to Jason Thompson (Stuart,
Fla./South Fork ). The Chargers were stopped on a three-and-out to start the second quarter. After punting away to AIC, the Yellow Jackets took advantage on a series of rushing plays. On a fourth-and-seven, Cesar Vaca-Hurtado hit a 34yard field goal attempt but a roughing the kicker penalty drew an automatic first down. The following play, Terrell Williams rushed in from nine yards out to put AIC ahead, 107. Both teams exchanged field goals the rest of the way as the Yellow Jackets held a 13-10 advantage at the break. The Chargers have played great second half football all season long and that trend continued on Saturday. Robert Hill (Suffield, Conn./Suffield / Dean Junior College) forced an AIC fumble on the very first play of the second half and was picked up by Bernard Risco (Philadelphia, Pa./ James Hillhouse) who rushed in for the score. Just eight seconds into the second half, New Haven had regained the lead as they went up, 17-13. The Yellow Jackets had to punt on their following two possessions and with 8:16 remaining in the third quarter, New Haven would begin their second
offensive drive resulting in a touchdown. The Chargers relied on their rushing game as Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) finished the drive with three straight rushes for 10 yard and a score. New Ha-

The teams exchanged points in the opening portion of the first set Friday night. Back-to-back kills by Elizabeth Akinbiyi (Miami Gardens, Fla./ Chaminade-Madonna Prep.) gave the Chargers a 14-11 lead near the midway point of the set. The Chargers would late lose the lead after three consecutive attack errors which gave SNHU an 18-17 lead. The Chargers got back on track and scored three straight to regain momentum in the closing portion
of the set. Akinbiyi added two kills in the final three points to give the Chargers a 25-23 victory in the opener. In the second set, the Penmen came out swinging and quickly opened a four-point, 8-4, lead over the Chargers. The Penmen continued to lead for a majority of the set, but a late rally from the Chargers proved successful. SNHU held a three-point lead, 20-17, late in the set, but the Chargers caught fire and scored the final seven

Chris Scifo (Coral Springs, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas / Central Connecticut State University) connected on his second field goal early in the fourth to give the Chargers a 14-point advantage. However, AIC quickly responded and in less than two minutes, Anthony Enderle rushed in from
in the endzone for his second score of the game. The 22-yard completion gave the Chargers their second 14-point lead. Thompson’s touchdown marked his third straight game with two touchdown receptions and fourth straight with at least one. AIC marched down the field on the following drive and got all the way to the New Haven eight-yard line. On first-and-goal

Women’s Soccer Drops Double Overtime Heartbreaker to Stonehill, 1-2
A CHARGER ATHLETICS PRESS RELEASE
–––––––––––––––––––––
WEST HAVEN, Conn. - The University of New Haven women’s soccer team dropped a Northeast-10 Conference match Sunday afternoon 1-2 to Stonehill College. The Chargers fell to 6-7 overall and 4-7 in conference play with the loss, while the Skyhawks improved to 8-4-2 and 6-3-2 in the NEASSOCIATED PRESS
10. New Haven and Stonehill opened the game very even, but a Skyhawk corner kick in the 16th minute found the foot of Kelsey Mahoney who sunk the ball in the back of the Chargers’ net. Trailing 0-1, New Haven recorded five shots before evening the game at 1-1 off a Brenna Weidman (Holliston, Mass./Holliston / Utica College) goal. She received the ball from Court-
ney Marra (New Fairfield, Conn./Immaculate) just inside the 18-yard box and after one touch evened the score. The Chargers finished the half with nine total shots, including six shots on goal. The second half was much of the same story for both teams. Despite neither team scoring, the Chargers again outshot their opponent, 8-to-4. At the end of regulation, the game remained in a 1-1 tie
heading into overtime. The first overtime featured three shots from New Haven and two from the Skyhawks. Both teams had their opportunities but could not capitalize. At the 94th minute, Amber Simms (Southport, England/Southport) had a shot on goal that was saved and with a minute and 35 seconds remaining, Kim Taylor (Patchogue, N.Y./Patchogue-Medford ) saved a Stonehill shot which
eventually forced a second overtime. In the second overtime, both teams accounted for two shots each until the Skyhawks knocked in the game-winning goal at the 103rd minute from Renee Trudeau. Despite the loss, the Chargers outshot Stonehill 22-to-12. Taylor recorded six saves in a losing effort and Weidman, Shannon Morales (Bloomfield, Conn./Northwest Catho-
lic) and Simms all recorded two shots on goal. New Haven will conclude its 2011 regular season home schedule on Tuesday, October 18 when it hosts Le Moyne College at Kayo Field. Game time is set for 3:30 p.m. For links to live video and live statistics, visit www.NewHavenChargers.com.
trouble. His car sailed into the fence extending high over the track barrier, and about two hours later, his death was announced. Wheldon began driving go-karts as a 4-year-old, and racing was a constant in his life as he attended school in England as a child, winning eight British national titles along the way. He moved to the U.S. in 1999, trying to find sponsor money to fund his dream, and by 2002 — after stints in some lower-profile open-wheel series, such as the F2000 championship, Toyota Atlantic Series and IndyLights — he was on the IndyCar grid for the first time. Wheldon was a fast study. He got his first IndyCar Series ride in 2002, competing twice with Panther Racing, then replaced Michael Andretti when Andretti retired the next season and won Rookie of the Year. His first victory came the next season, in Japan, and he finished second in the championship standings behind Andretti Green Racing teammate Tony Kanaan. The next year, he was the series champion. NASCAR teams talked to him about changing series. So did Formula One organizations. In the end, he decided IndyCar was his calling. “The biggest thing for me is the Indianapolis 500,” Wheldon said in 2005, not long after becoming the first Englishman since Graham Hill in 1966 to win the race. “It would be really difficult to leave this series because of that race.” A star was born at that 2005 Indy 500 — and it wasn’t necessarily Wheldon, the winner. Danica Patrick was a rookie at
Indy that year, and not only did she steal the show, she nearly took the biggest prize as well. Wheldon passed Patrick with less than 10 laps to go and held on for the victory, and that wasn’t the last time those two would share a spot-

It had been a passion of Wheldon’s in recent months, and he once quipped that he was a “test dummy” for the new cars by working with engineers as often as he was. “We need to make sure that the product that the IndyCar Series puts out toward the end of this year, beginning of 2012, is something that primarily the fans get very excited about, but also the teams and drivers,” Wheldon said this summer. “And obviously we want to make sure that the product we put out is incredibly safe.” Wheldon, his wife and their children lived in St. Petersburg, Fla., and he often said that he believed fatherhood made him a better driver.

ever done. She knows that racing creates the personality in me that she loves. So she was desperate to get me back out the house and in a race car. It’s good to deliver for her, my two boys, my family back home, too.” Off the track, Wheldon had varied interests, some of which had almost nothing to do with his driving. He raised money for several charities, was a spokesman for the National Guard and its educationawareness programs, and most recently tried to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. His mother was diagnosed with an early onset form of that disease in 2009. He visited Lake Placid, N.Y., in 2010 for the BoDyn Bobsled Challenge, taking a run down the icy chute — and getting ejected from the back of a twoman sled in a crash. Wheldon was unhurt, and even hopped to his feet quickly, taking a bow. “Us IndyCar drivers, we like to go fast,” Wheldon said that day. Later that year, he released a photo book he called “Lionheart,” a coffee table book that he described as “almost like a photo biography from my career in IndyCars up until this point.” He spent years editing the book, which included dozens of photos of his life away from the track, including images from his wedding. “I wanted it to have a lot of my input,” Wheldon said last year. “Obviously, it’s a reflection of me.” He also wanted that book to provide his fans with a glimpse of his life that they would never have known otherwise. “There’s a lot of my wedding in there,” Wheldon said. “I wanted there to be a lot of photos of my wife. She was the most beautiful bride on her wedding day the world had ever seen.”

––––––––––––––––––––– LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dan Wheldon, who moved to the United States from his native England with hopes of winning the Indianapolis 500 and went on to twice prevail at his sport’s most famed race, died Sunday after a massive, fiery wreck at the Las Vegas Indy 300. One of the most wellliked drivers in the paddock, Wheldon was 33. He called the Indy 500 “the biggest sporting event in the world,” and his second and final win there came in a most unexpected fashion. Trailing rookie JR Hildebrand with only one turn remaining, Wheldon was resigned to finishing second for the third straight year. Then Hildebrand brushed the wall just seconds away from what seemed like certain victory, giving Wheldon one of the luckiest breaks ever at the Brickyard. He crossed the line in front, making the final lap the only one he led in the entire race. Wheldon returned to the track the next morning for the traditional photo session with the winner, kissing the bricks as his 2-year-old son Sebastian sat on the asphalt alongside him, and his wife, Susie, held their then-2month-old son Oliver. “That’s Indianapolis,” Wheldon said after this year’s Indy win. “That’s why it’s the greatest spectacle in racing. You never know what’s going to happen.” Such was the case again Sunday at Las Vegas. Wheldon started last in the 34-car field and was up to 24th quickly, but still well behind the first wave of cars that got into trouble on the fateful lap. Still, he had no way to avoid the wrecks in front of him. There was no time to brake or steer out of
light. At Milwaukee in 2007, Wheldon and Patrick brushed cars during the race, then brushed bodies on pit road after the race in a relatively heated exchange. He good-naturedly poked fun at what was fast known as Danicamania following the 2005 race, famously posing in a Tshirt afterward with the words “Actually ‘Won’ The Indy 500” emblazoned on the front. Wheldon got his share of fame as well after that ‘05 win, of course, throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game and appearing on CBS’ “Late Show with David Letterman.” On Sunday, Patrick,

Liana’s Literary Commentary
When an unexplained disaster turns the human race into cannibalistic zombies, survivors of the disease must barricade themselves in small civilizations, their protection being only a high fence which surrounds their villages. This fence not only acts as their protection, but also their imprisonment. Mary is a young girl living in one of these villages which is ruled by the Sisterhood and the Guardians. The Sisterhood is shrouded in secrecy, never revealing their true knowledge of what lies beyond the
The Forest of Hands and Teeth By Carrie Ryan fences. The Sisterhood carefully watches everyone in the village, making sure they are kept in line, while the Guardians guard the forest around them. There are only two ways through the fence: gates that open to expel those who have been infected, or a hidden path on the outskirts of the fence. Mary is curious as to where the hidden path leads, but the Sisterhood insists that the village is the only human habitation left on Earth. However, Mary is convinced that something must lie beyond the forest. She has grown up hearing
stories of her great-greatgreat-grandmother who spoke of an ocean and a world without zombies. Mary believes if she can reach the ocean, she would be free and safe. When a zombie infiltration takes place, Mary knows that this is her chance to escape. She, along with her brother and several others, make their way through the hidden pathway and eventually come across other fences. Each fence has a gate marked with a Roman numeral. Mary has never seen these symbols before, but later learns that they refer
to numbers—the numbers of villages. The Sisterhood had been wrong; their village had not been the only one left. Unfortunately, most of the villages they visit have already been wiped out, and Mary is forced to believe that they are, indeed, the last human survivors. That is, until they reach a dead end. Zombies surround the small group, and they are unable to move any further. Mary decides to leave the protection of the fence and run into undead territory. As she is running, she finds a waterfall and jumps; she later

wakes up on a sandy beach and is greeted by an unknown man. Mary has finally found her ocean and a civilization she never knew existed. The romantic language of this novel makes this a truly interesting read. The title itself is also intriguing and makes you want to learn more about the story. A good amount of action sequences take place in the book, most of which involves the killing of zombies; therefore, it is recommended you not read this book if zombies freak you out. The only criticism would be that the
Netflix Drops Unpopular Qwikster Idea
By DANTE VITTONE STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
It seems that Netflix cannot make up its mind about what to do to itself. Recently, in July, Netflix announced that it would split its dual-service, digital streaming and direct mail DVDs, into two services. Netflix would re-
main, offering the digital streaming service. Meanwhile, a new service would emerge: Qwikster. Qwikster would have handled the direct mail DVDs, if it weren’t for the fact that the public went ballistic about the idea when it was announced, and the company’s stock dropped. Readers may think, “This doesn’t sound like
such a terrible idea. Why was the public so angry?” In addition to splitting the services in two, Netflix would not charge its original $10 per month for both. Netflix said they were planning to charge $8 a month, for each service. This would have brought the total cost for both services up to $16, a major reason for the outcry. The
price increase totaled to a 60 percent increase in price. While Netflix stuck with their plan for a while, it seems that the amount of cancelled subscriptions got to the Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings. Netflix abandoned the Qwikster idea, and instead decided that both services will remain on Netflix. In a blog post,
Mr. Hastings was quoted as saying, “This means no change: one website, one account, one password… in other words, no Qwikster.” Unfortunately for those who opposed the idea, the $16 per month charge for both services has remained intact. In his blog post, Mr. Hastings went on to say that there will be no new
reader may not develop an attachment to the main characters. Their personalities seem a bit cut-anddry even as they try conveying emotions such as love and fear. And while the romantic language is beautifully crafted within the story, it may sound as if someone placed you in the Elizabethan era. Depending on your taste, you may or may not find The Forest of Hands and Teeth to your liking. Overall, it is a good novel, riddled with suspense and a bittersweet love story tossed in for good measure.
price hikes in the near future. However, the post does not address whether or not the additional features planned for Qwikster, like video game rentals, have been tossed aside, or whether they’ll be integrated into Netflix itself.

Dave’s Music Report That Other Awards Show
The American Music Awards might just be the most ridiculous musicrelated awards show there is. Between the arbitrary number of nominees in each category, the usually forgetful performances, and the abundance of foreign nominees (after all, this is the AMERICAN music awards,) the show is just kind of a dud. However, every year, the world’s biggest acts always seem to find their way onto the stage, and for a few gleaming moments, there is hope of some sort of validation of the ceremony’s existence.
The AMAs were started by Dick Clark in the early 70’s to rival the well-respected Grammy Awards. However, unlike the Grammys, the public votes for the winners. For a show like the Video Music Awards, that works just fine, but for a ceremony striving towards respectability, this is a bad move. For example, Justin Bieber won Artist of The Year and three other awards at last year’s ceremony. The nominees for this year’s show have been announced and are once against confusingly predictable. Artist of the Year
is a ladies battle, pinning Adele, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift against each other, with Lil Wayne thrown in to up the testosterone level. There are eight acts up for the Sprint New Artist of the Year award, including Foster The People, Miguel, The Band Perry, and Thompson Square. However, LMFAO are also shortlisted. But haven’t people been taking “Shots” to their music for the past few years? Even Wiz Khalifa, also nominated, had released “Black and Yellow” in time to be eligible for last year’s cer-
emony, and thus shouldn’t be considered “new.” The Favorite Pop/Rock Male nominee list is another head-scratcher. Justin Bieber, who has barely released anything musically this year, let alone had a legitimate hit, is up against Bruno Mars, who has only had one mediocre-sized hit this year, and Pitbull, who actually has seen success. The Female nominees are predictably with Gaga, Adele, and Katy Perry. The Favorite Pop/Rock Band/ Duo/Group (yes there actually that many adjectives for this category) nominees are understandably

that were mean, making sexual advancements, or just plain psycho. And Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis played the employees that hated their jobs. I think everybody eventually has a boss they hate working for; this movie just took it to another level. One night after having a few beers, Bateman, Day, and Sudeikis’ characters figured that the easiest way to resolve their work problems was to kill their bosses, because in this economy, who could afford to quit and find another job. And before they
knew it, the three had all hired a hit man to help. Just trying to watch these guys commit the worst crime out there and figure out how they were going to do so was hilarious. All the actors were fantastic and made the movie amazing. Which is probably the reason over one hundred students packed the cafeteria. But I think the ice cream helped with that as well. That’s right; there was ice cream this week at the movie. There was both chocolate and vanilla, with your choice of Oreo cookies, M & M’s,
rainbow sprinkles, cherries, and whipped cream for toppings. Between the movie and the ice cream, the night turned out to be fantastic! The Film Committee from SCOPE has been working hard to make movies great, and they will continue to do so. So stay tuned for more movies, because there are some great ones to come, and the more movies you come to, the better chance you have at winning a free ticket to the movie theater!

The SCOPE weekly movie only had one showing this week, and it looked like everyone wanted to see it. The movie this week was Horrible Bosses and the showing on Friday had the cafeteria full to capacity. Over one hundred students showed up on Friday to see the hilarious comedy Horrible Bosses starring some really great actors. Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, and Kevin Spacey played the bosses
The League Begins Its Third Season
By TYLER D’AMORE sTAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
The League is a television series on FX about a Fantasy Football League. Season One’s first episode premiered on October 29, 2009, and the show is currently in its third season. The series revolves around a group of friends in Chicago who love fantasy football and will do anything it takes to win the coveted “Shiva trophy.” Season One introduced the characters: Kevin the commissioner whose wife runs his team, Pete who is the three-time champion and tricks other characters into making terrible trades, Ruxin an attorney with a gorgeous wife and wants to win with all of his heart but fails almost every time, Andre a rich plastic surgeon who the other characters make fun of of-
ten for his awful trades and horrendous fashion style, and Taco, Kevin’s younger brother, a jobless pothead but a funny musician. Season One was FX’s trial season; it was only six episodes long to see how audiences would react. The show got 990,000 viewers for those six episodes which included the Fantasy Football Draft all the way to the ShivaBowl. Views increased for the second episode reaching almost one and a half million views. The show had a few guest NFL players every season including Terry Bradshaw, former NFL Quarterback and current Football Analyst, in episode three and Antonio Gates, a tight end for the Chargers. The season finale was December 10, 2009. Since the first season did so well, the producers decided to continue the
series with a second season. This season consisted of 13 episodes, the first of which premiered on September 16, 2010. Viewership was over 1.7 million for the premier episode which had Chad Ochocinco as a guest star. The first episode of this season also introduced a new character: Ruxin’s brother in law, Raffi, a very weird and creepy guy that nobody likes. Ruxin is forced to hang out with Raffi because of his wife. Season two also has two other NFL players guest star: Joshua Cribbs and Terrell Suggs. The season ended on December 9 2010 with a double header finale with over one million viewers. The League is currently in its third season which premiered October 6, 2011. The premier of season three introduced yet another character called Dirty Randy, portrayed by
Seth Rogen. There were about 1.3 million viewers for the first episode of season three, which guest starred Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, Atlanta Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes, and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice. Many people still do not know about this hilarious comedy television show on FX. It is, however, starting to grow rapidly and now has commercials advertising it unlike previous seasons. New episodes air Thursdays on FX at 10:30 p.m. and re-runs of older episodes are played as well on FX. With growing viewership and more commercials about this show, The League will grow into one of TV’s funniest shows.
Evanescence’s Self-Titled Return to Rock
By ASHLEY JOHNSON STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
With their first album in five years out on October 11, 2011, the Grammy-winning gothic rock band Evanescence finally sounds like the band it has always wanted and hoped to be – one that is tight, together, and matured. Evanescence released their 12-track collection on Tuesday, and even before it hit the shelves, the hype
Page 15
and excitement buzzed the media circuit to a crazed frenzy. When listening to the album, there’s a pronounced vitality that surges through the songs. This rising sound and vitality can only be from the band’s willingness to go out onto a musical limb and take an incredible chance. Though the hallmarks of their sound remain intact with the swirling synths, anthemic choruses, and heavy riffs, everyone knows and
loves, they also have a new and edgier perspective to be heard in sync with the theatrical undercurrent flowing beneath the words sung by Amy Lee. Evanescence represents modern rock at its finest, and this album is further proof of it. They manage to experiment while staying unshakably infectious to their listeners and fans. This is no easy feat, and it has taken many years to evolve the sounds present on this album.
Evanescence wanted to prove that they were strong and alive without taking away from who they are musically. And with their self titled album, there can be no question that they have only amped their musical talents, not lost them along the way. It is in this writer and fans opinion that no matter the time it took to make this album, Evanescence still remains at their all time best.
LMFAO and Maroon 5, with OneRepublic thrown in as the dark horse. The Country categories can pretty much be summed up with the words “Taylor Swift,” “Jason Aldean,” and “The Band Perry,” with Lady Antebellum surprisingly only nominated for one category. Hip-Hop apparently only had three acts this year, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West, who are all up against each other for all encompassing categories. Beyonce, Rihanna, and Chris Brown pretty much have the R&B category locked up, and some-

where along the line Katy Perry became considered “Adult Contemporary” as she takes on Adele and Bruno Mars. The performers have not yet been announced, but no doubt some huge names will sign on. Regardless of the boredom the previous ceremonies have exhibited, I’m still holding on to the hope that after almost 40 years, they may finally get it right! This year’s show will take place on November 20 on ABC.

What YOU Need to Know About Financial Aid by: The Feds We’re back! The Financial Aid Office’s group of Federal Work Study student workers, also known as “The Feds”, is back and ready to start the new school year right. What are “The Feds”? They are a group of Federal Work Study students whose job is to keep UNH students informed about financial aid. We will be reaching out to students to answer their most pressing questions about financial aid and to keep everyone updated on important financial aid information, such as important deadlines. My name is Shannon Tilly and I am one of the Federal Work Study students working in the Financial Aid Office. I will be writing articles for the newspaper, along with making sure that important announcements are heard on the radio station. I will also be searching for outside scholarships for the different majors on campus and posting them in the financial aid office. Marissa lewis is also a Federal Work Study student in the Financial Aid Office and will be primarily working on creating the flyers that will be posted in the different buildings on campus, along with the table top tents in the dining hall. She will also be assisting in the outside scholarship searches. Erika Williams, the third Federal Work Study student working in the office, is in charge of updating the Financial Aid Facebook Group. Students can find us on Facebook by searching University of New HavenFinancial Aid Office. You can also e-mail The Feds at anytime at Feds@newhaven.edu. Please note this e-mail address is monitored by students and personal information should not be sent there. Financial aid? What does that mean? What do I have to do in order to receive financial aid from UNH? Where is the Financial Aid Office? How do I find out about scholarships? How will I be notified about what is going on in the Financial Aid Office? These are only a few of the frequently asked questions by the current and perspective students of the University of New Haven, and we are here to give you the answers! Students should keep an eye out for flyers that will be posted around campus with important information about financial aid. For example the Financial Aid Office will be putting up posters to remind UNH students of how important it is to file their FAFSA “on time” for the 2012-2013 academic year. Reminders will be sent out via e-mail, so it is very important that students regularly check their UNH e-mail. All financial aid communication will be sent to YOUR UNH e-mail, so feel free to forward the information to your parents! If anyone has any questions regarding financial aid, our office is located in Maxcy Hall, Room 118B, so stop by and we will be happy to help you! You can also e-mail us regarding information you see in the newspaper, hear on the radio, see on posters or flyers around campus, or read on Facebook at anytime at Feds@newhaven.edu .
