DON’T FORGET This newspaper is recyclable! The Importance of an Internship
By JOANN WOLWOWICZ ASSISTANT EDITOR
–––––––––––––––––––––––––– Many students enter their freshman year confused as to where they would like to end up in life after college. Other students come in with a set plan as to what they are interested in, and they know exactly where they want to end up. Usually, during freshman year, confusion either grows or subsides depending on the various classes students take and whether certain topics actually interest the student at all. With many majors available and a variety of classes open as electives, students can sample a variety of disciplines to really narrow down their interests. However, a student may or may not truly realize where his or her interests lie until he or she gets to experience their potential career first hand. Usually around junior year in college, students are encouraged, and in many cases it is a requirement, to complete an internship. For students who are still questioning career goals, there is no better way to learn if a particular career is right for them. If a student’s major covers a multitude of disciplines,
interning could help a student sort out the different options and really determine where he or she would be happiest. If it’s not a requirement for every major, then it should be, because it is very beneficial overall. This past summer I completed an internship at the Westchester County Forensic Laboratory in Valhalla, NY. It was a one month program and primarily an observational internship. Though my time at the laboratory was brief, I can honestly say that it was the most beneficial month of any summer vacation I have ever had. I went into the internship as most students do: expecting to learn new things, build on topics I’ve already covered, and gain experience and contacts for the future. However, I feel as if I gained so much more than just those things. After having completed my internship, I realized that my interests where headed in the right direction, but I could narrow them down even more. Surprisingly, I noticed that I did have some interests in areas I never even considered and determined that other sections were just not the right fit for me.

USGA President’s Corner Dear Students, Welcome to the University of New Haven! My name is Scott Kazar, and I am your Undergraduate Student Government Association (USGA) President. The USGA is a student run organization designed to allow students to voice issues or concerns regarding the university and have them addressed accordingly. Every undergraduate student is a member of the USGA and is strongly encouraged to attend our meetings held every Tuesday in the Alumni Lounge (located in Bartel’s Hall) at 1:40 p.m. As I mentioned earlier, the USGA is a student run organization, and like you, I am also a student. This year I will be a senior, studying Fire Science. In the past three years, I have been involved in several different organizations which represent just a small portion of the clubs/organizations we have here on campus. There are over 80 clubs and organizations on campus, including sororities, fraternities, special interest groups, cultural, professional, and even religious organizations. There are also class officer positions to be filled. Class officers are responsible for fundraising and most importantly planning your Senior Week. If you are interested in running for a Class of 2014 officer position make sure to keep an eye out for more information! I can assure you that you will find something on campus that interests you, and if not, let me know, and I can help you out with creating your own club/organization. The USGA has a new website called Chargerconnection, which is a way for students to voice their concerns and find out what’s going on around campus. If you have a concern or a general comment regarding the university, you can go onto the website and post it for one of the established USGA committees. These committees will then meet with the proper administrators and address the issue to the best of their abilities on your behalf. Some issues that have been resolved in the past include anything from fixing computer related issues in classrooms to getting air conditioning installed in Sandellas, and all the construction that has been done around campus. Take some time and check it out at Chargerconnection.newhaven.edu! I would strongly encourage you to use your newhaven.edu e-mail account, as it is vital for you to know what is going on around campus.

SCOPE It Out! Did You Know? by Ashley Jones
Back to school already? It seems like the summer flew by, and finals were just a few short weeks ago. There are so many new faces around campus and plenty of old ones too. Everyone is getting used to the flow of things around UNH. Now that everyone is settled in and starting their classes, SCOPE has many exciting things planned for you to do. Monday, everyone was able to express their creative side decorating treasure chests to add some style to their dorms, while also giving the room more life with bamboo. A childish side came out as well with a giant slide and trampoline for everyone to enjoy. On top of all of that, all the popcorn and cotton candy you wanted to eat was available. It was definitely a fun way to spend Labor Day. Tuesday was full of entertainment. The Hangover 2 had everyone laughing in Dodds Theater. The first Beanhouse of the year brought some new talent with the new faces on Tuesday as well. Be sure to come back again each month to see who else we have performing. Today, Wednesday September 5, everyone has a chance to win a few supplies for their dorm room and for classes at our event called Cash Cube. Come see what prizes you can catch on. Cash Cube will be on the Bartels Student Activity Center (BSAC) Stage by the Quad at 12:30 p.m. Thursday should also be filled with even more laughs when Dan Ahdoot performs in Dodds theatre. This comedian has been seen on the Last Comic Standing and the Jay Leno Show. Come laugh the night away starting at 7 p.m. Additionally, if you missed the showing of the Hangover 2 on Tuesday or just want to see it again, it will be playing in Bartels at 9:00 p.m. on Friday night. Finally, no one is going to want to miss Double Dare on Saturday. All the teams will be challenged with both physical and mental obstacles. Plus everyone can enjoy a little slime. There will be prizes for the winning teams and a great time for everyone. Other students not participating can watch Double Dare while enjoying cotton candy and snow cones. Our events for next week include our movie of the week Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in Bartels at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday. Stay tuned for more exciting events SCOPE has planned for you this semester. If you want to be part of SCOPE, you can pick up an application to become a Committee Head. The applications will be due on September 9, 2011. If you want to join, but you don’t want to be a Committee Head, you can still attend our weekly meetings every Wednesday in K109 at 9:30 p.m. to become a general member.
Memorial Day
by Joann Wolwowicz
Once school ends for those of us in college and summer begins early during the middle of May, the first holiday we look forward to, especially because it means BBQs, beach trips, and a day with the family, is Memorial Day. Memorial Day, which falls on the last Monday of May, brings about a three day weekend to officially start the summer off. If nice weather permits, families can be seen enjoying the day involved in a variety of activities. It often means that warmer weather can be expected from that point on. However, even though it is a day of relaxation for many, it is important to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and what it stands for today. Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the American military. It became an official federal holiday in 1971, but originated in the years following the Civil War; it was known as Decoration Day. This past summer, it was observed on Monday, May 30. The name Decoration Day came about, because it was a day family and friends could decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War. During the first celebration, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery. 5,000 people helped decorate the graves of over 20,000 soldiers buried in the cemetery. In 1966, the federal government, under President Lyndon Johnson, declared Waterloo, N.Y. as the official birthplace of Memorial Day, since several towns throughout America claimed to be the original birthplace of the holiday. Waterloo was chosen because the town had celebrated Memorial Day first on May 5, 1866 and made the day an annual, community-wide event during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags. After World War I, observances of the holiday began to honor those who died in all American wars, not just the Civil War. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May. Many confuse the holiday with Veteran’s Day, which is a day that is celebrated each year on November 11 to honor all veterans, living or dead. Each year, on Memorial Day, there is a national moment of remembrance that takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time. At Arlington National Cemetery, a small American flag is placed on each grave. It is customary for either the president or vice-president to give a speech honoring the contributions of the dead. A wreath is also laid on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This ceremony is annually attended by 5,000 people. For many people, Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer vacation season. (Labor Day usually marks the end of this season.) It has also become a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family get-togethers, fireworks, trips to the beach, and national media events such as the Indianapolis 500 auto race, held since 1911 on Memorial Day. However, it is important to remember all of those who served and died for their country on this day. It is important to not forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. Many towns honor this day by hosting parades.

The All Day Q & A
By ISAAK KIFLE STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
In the past, although new students were given a few days to familiarize themselves with the university before classes started, many still had questions concerning the location of the academic buildings and classrooms, or possibly about the classes themselves. And while SOAR and Welcome Week ensure that freshmen aren’t thrust into their class schedule without knowing the basics about classes, students still have questions of their own that may form just as that first day of class rolls around. In 2008, the All Day Q & A (Question and Answer) was established by the Office of Student Activities to remedy this problem.
It began when members of the UNH community thought it would be helpful to place upperclassmen students around campus to answer questions by freshmen during the first few days of classes. The upperclassmen that participate spend time in shifts in front of academic buildings, to serve as a resource for any students passing by that are in need of help. Students are encouraged to utilize the program as a way to have their questions answered faster. This year, the Q & A Days were originally scheduled to take place Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, August 2931. However, due to the closings brought on by the storm, it was pushed back to Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, August 31 through September 2. The
program was organized by Orientation Coordinator Colleen Kerrigan, and participants consisted of many of the university’s most involved students and most knowledgeable student leaders. Wearing bright yellow shirts, these students were positioned in front of Dodds, Kaplan, Maxcy, and Buckman Halls, as well as the Henry C. Lee Institute, from 8:00 a.m.4:00 p.m. in shifts of one to two hours. Reception to the program has been positive as many new students have taken advantage of the opportunity and have benefitted from it, further demonstrating the university’s commitment to easing the transition for new members of the community and making them feel as welcome as possible.

New evidence suggests that ancient Mars was once much colder than previously assumed, and also contained oceans and glaciers. These findings may explain why unusual minerals are present in the lowlands of the planet. A team of astrobiologists led by Alberto Fairén at the SETI Institute and the NASA Ames Research Center compared sediment samples found in the northern and southern poles of Mars; it was discovered that the northern lowlands are absent of the mineral group called phyllosilicates (marine sediments found in Earth’s waters that show the existence of an ocean environment). The lack of this mineral suggests that if oceans did exist in
northern Mars, they would have been close to frozen, not liquid as some scientists presume. The frigid temperatures and frozen water would have prevented the phyllosilicates from travelling down to the northern ocean basin. Furthermore, formations around Martian ocean basins “are consistent with the presence of large glaciers, such as underwater stretches of rocky debris known as moraines,” reports SPACE.com. While the two prominent ideas towards weather on Mars propose that the planet was either cold and dry or warm and wet, Fairén’s study offers a different explanation. “Our multidisciplinary analyses offer an explanation for the existence of an ocean in the past of Mars which is consistent with the mineralogy detected so far by orbiters and landers,” said
Fairén, in the journal Nature Geoscience. “If there were oceans on Mars, they were cold glacial, similar to the polar seas on Earth. The coasts would be rimmed by glaciers, and portions of the ocean would be ice-covered.” Fairén’s main idea combines both leading ideas of Mars’ early climate: ancient Mars was wet, but not necessarily warm. However, Fairén’s work is far from complete. More research is underway for the scientists, including the search for icebergs in coastal areas of the Red Planet. “This is not an easy job, as the evidence for the ancient ocean is mostly buried under tons of more recent materials, including kilometer-thick sedimentary and volcanic deposits, which make our work more and more challenging,” Fairén revealed to SPACE.com.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama faces a long reelection campaign having all but given up on the economy rebounding in any meaningful way before November 2012. His own budget office predicts unemployment will stay at about 9 percent, a frightening number for any president seeking a second term. Obama's prospects aren't entirely grim, however. The GOP, heavily influenced by the tea party, may nominate someone so deeply flawed or right-leaning that, Democrats hope, Obama can persuade Americans to give him a second chance rather than risk the alternative.

Casey’s father, George, helped her dispose of the body. Allegations of a nanny kidnapping Caylee and Casey’s father and brother molesting her in younger years also surfaced during trial bringing more twists to the mix. One would think that the “chloroform” and “neck breaking” computer searches, the duct tape discovered over Caylee’s skeletal remains, witness testimony of a “dead body” stench emanating from Anthony’s trunk, the thirty-one days before reporting Caylee missing, Anthony’s “Bella Vita” tattoo, and partying after Caylee’s disappearance would do Casey Anthony in. Altogether, it seemed to paint an insurmountable case against Casey Anthony and doubt or, at least, questions involving her innocence surrounding the death of Caylee. But when the verdict returned not guilty, much of the world was left feeling confused, furious, shocked, and disgusted with the reality that Casey Anthony would walk away a free woman.

Children’s Book About Obesity Stirs Controversy
By LIZ DE LA TORRE STAFF WRITER
–––––––––––––––––––––
In an era consumed with body image, childhood obesity has been a growing concern for years. In fact, a controversial children’s book by Paul Kramer is shedding light on the problem that does not seem to go away. Kramer’s rhyming book Maggie Goes on a Diet tells the story of overweight 14 year-old Maggie who gets teased and ridiculed at school and then becomes popular and more confident after she becomes skinny and joins the soccer team. The forty-four page book, suggested for children four to eight years old, has been causing controversy for a message that parents argue would manipulate children’s mentality about fitness and social acceptance as well as promote eating disorders.

After 40 years, Borders, Waldenbooks, Borders Express, and Borders Outlet stores across the country have closed their doors for good. The chain filed for bankruptcy in February 2011 and closed more than 200 stores in an attempt to regroup and address their financial troubles. However, by July 2011, it was confirmed that the book-

The second half was a completely different story for both teams. New Haven received the kick and with their first play of the half, Victor Jones gave the team some life with a 10-yard run for the first down. The Golden Rams’ defensive line put on the pressure on the second and third down though to force a punting situation. West Chester regained possession and in less than three minutes, they were back on the scoreboard with a 19-7 lead. The Chargers would not back down as they retaliated on their next drive. The first play included a 19yard gain from Osiecki to Smart. New Haven’s next set of downs included two rushes and a pass to set up a fourth-and-one scenario. In good field position and

Adrienne Ressler, a commenter on Amazon.com, said this: “The idea of this book makes me want to either cry or scream—actually both. It’s bad enough that the messages and images in the culture have co-opted most women into loathing their bodies, but targeting the insecurities of young girls, vulnerable to the risk of developing an eating disorder, borders on promoting high risk behaviors and attitudes that are destructive both physically and psychologically.” Kramer, who has previ-

The company quickly expanded, becoming the second-largest bookstore chain in the United States. Seattle’s Best Coffee partnered up with Borders in 2004 and placed in-store cafes inside all Borders locations. This cozy mix of literature, music, and cof-
fee offered a tranquil and secure atmosphere for avid readers. Still, the company’s underlying financial troubles could not be disguised any longer. The swift decline of the bookstore giant was somewhat expected, despite the unspoken shock felt by loyal Borders customers. Problems began when the company did not keep up with the ever-changing retail environment. While competitors like Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com
down by 12, the Chargers would go for it as Mike DeCaro leaped over the line for a threeyard gain. Following a penalty, the team would complete their next three plays, ending with a 24-yard touchdown from Washington-Ellison. After three quarters, West Chester led, 19-14. The final 15 minutes of regulation went backand-forth, much like the majority of the game. The Golden Rams completed an 11yard touchdown from Matt Carroll to LaRonn Lee to go ahead 26-14 with 13:05 remaining. With a two possession lead, the game seemed out-of-reach. The Chargers would
remain composed and Golden Rams marched all capped off a five-play drive the way to New Haven’s on their next possession 11-yard line. However,
Children are pretty smart, and they will make a good choice if you give them that opportunity.” Although many people agree that promoting a
healthier lifestyle and being proactive is encouraging, they are not thrilled about the message that suggests that because she is skinny, Maggie is now confident, newly popular, and has other students’ acceptance. Yahoo Contributor Victoria Leigh Miller says: “Why couldn’t Maggie’s popular personality shine through before she went on a diet? And is it realistic to think that the kids who teased her will suddenly give her high-fives on the soccer field just because she lost weight?” Descriptions such as “teaching kids to selfhate,” “give your children neuroses” and “anorexia bait” have been tagged by customers on Amazon. com who are dissatisfied with the book. Even on Twitter, “savemaggie” is now a trending topic. Other people who have expressed opposition have created a Facebook page called “Say No to Maggie Goes on a Diet” that also
threatens boycotts and pleads with both Barnes & Noble and Amazon to not sell the book which is slated to be released in October. While Maggie Goes on a Diet is getting a lot of negative reviews, relationship expert Logan Levkoff says that this book is getting people talking about a problem that is relevant and currently happening. Levkoff continues by saying that getting a reaction out of people so that they will address this issue and adjust their own lives may be a way that this book can be looked at in a positive way: “The only upside to this book is that it gives us an opportunity to talk about how bad our priorities are and give us the opportunity to change them and to say to our kids, this is now who I want you to be.”

Borders’ international expansion also stretched the company awfully thin. When publishers stopped getting paid on time for their shipped books, the company headed even further downhill. According to the International Business
Times, at the time of its bankruptcy, Borders owed an estimated $1.3 billion in debt to big-name publishers including Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Random House, and Harper Collins. "Following the best efforts of all parties, we are saddened by this development," said Borders Group President Mike Edwards to the International Business Times, “We were all working hard towards a different outcome, but the head-
winds we have been facing for quite some time.” As in every grand era, there is a vibrant beginning and an unfortunate ending, and decreased customer spending coupled with vendor-related conflicts indeed brought Borders to its limit. Other retailers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com may benefit from the closure of Borders stores, as they will likely inherit Borders’ former customers looking for the next closest bookseller.

TARHOUNA, Libya (AP) — Rebel reinforcements arrived outside one of Moammar Gadhafi’s last strongholds in Libya on Monday, even as the forces arrayed against the toppled dictator gave the town a chance to surrender and avoid a fight. Thousands of rebels have converged on Bani Walid, a desert town some 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli. Gadhafi has been on the run since losing his capital last month. Rebel forces control most of Libya and are setting up a new government. They can’t declare total victory, however, until Gadhafi is caught and areas like Bani Walid are subdued, so they have shown they are willing to be patient, perhaps hoping to avoid a bitter inter-clan fight that could create lasting divisions. The rebels have extended to Saturday a deadline for the surrender of Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte and other loyalist areas, but some have warned they could attack Bani Walid sooner because many prominent former regime officials were believed to be inside. The scene was calm early Monday, with rebels brewing tea and lighting

Rebel Reinforcements Arrive at Gadhafi Stronghold
morning cigarettes, at a checkpoint about 40 miles (70 kilometers) from Bani Walid’s center. Then a convoy of nine trucks flying the independence-era tricolor the rebels have adopted arrived. As his men fired rifles into the air and shouted “God is great!” commander Ismail al-Gitani said they were part of a larger force and that he was ordered to reinforce the northern approaches to Bani Walid. He refused to say how many fighters he had brought. “We won’t go inside Bani Walid unless the Warfala tribe invites us,” he said, referring to Bani Walid’s main tribe. “The Warfala have to lead us into Bani Walid. Hopefully no one will be shot. We don’t want to use our weapons. But if the Gadhafi loyalists shoot at us, of course we will return fire.” The Warfala are believed to be about 1-million-strong, one-sixth of Libya’s population. Rebel commanders have said the door was still open for more talks about a surrender, but rebel negotiator Abdullah Kanshil
said Monday that “there are no negotiations.” He added that rebels were talking to individual families in the town about urgent needs for water and
food. The talks broke down, in part, because the loyalists insisted the rebels disarm before entering the town. The rebels have said the hard-core loyalists are a small minority inside the town, but are heavily armed and stoking fear to keep other residents from surrendering, telling residents the rebels will rape their wives and daughters. “We know (the loyalists) are trying very hard to avert Bani Walid’s surren-

der to help the incoming freshmen move their belongings into their room. This year, over 200 students volunteered to be a part of the effort. Wearing bright red shirts, the volunteers were stationed at every freshman residence hall, led by Lisa Saverese, the assistant director of student activities, as well as team captains located at each building. In addition, faculty, staff, resident assistants, academic peer mentors, and orientation leaders helped get the students checked in and kept the process organized for everyone. A huge thank you
to everyone that helped make the freshmen feel as welcome as possible, even if it meant working in the rain! Opening day did not end there however. Following move-in, incoming students had a chance to attend the resource fair in the Beckerman recreation center to see what services and resources are available to them in and around campus. After, parents and families had the chance to say goodbye, the class of 2015 took their class picture, which they’ll have the chance to reflect on as they reach graduation. Following that, they had dinner with their orienta-
der,” said Jalal el-Gallal, a spokesman for Libya’s opposition council. The rebels also say Gadhafi has some genuine supporters in Bani Walid,
cal dissidents. Bin Balla was freed when rebels took Tripoli, and has joined their forces, though he did not look much like a fighter in his
mainly people linked to the dictator through an elaborate patronage system that helped keep him in power for nearly 42 years. Some of the rebels on the outskirts of Bani Walid have more reason than most to be impatient. Abdel-Basit bin Balla, a 31-year-old businessman, said he was arrested in Bani Walid during antiGadhafi protests in his hometown in May. He was taken to Tripoli’s Abu Salim prison, infamous as a detention center for politi-
sweat pants and plastic sandals. “I want to enter Bani Walid with the rebel flag in my hand,” he said. While it is now held by loyalists, Bani Walid also has a history of opposition to Gadhafi. Western diplomats in Libya and opposition leaders abroad reported in 1993 that the air force had put down an uprising by army units in Misrata and Bani Walid. They said many officers were executed and arrested.
NATO, meanwhile, reported bombing several targets near Sirte and other areas overnight. NATO has been bombing Gadhafi’s forces since March under a United Nations mandate to protect Libyan civilians. But that mandate expires Sept. 27, and the rebels may be eager to end the fight before it runs out — since it may be politically difficult to get it renewed. In Tripoli, el-Gallal said Libya’s transition to democratic rule would begin with a “declaration of liberation,” starting the countdown on an eightmonth deadline for Libya’s transitional council to arrange elections for a national assembly. “When the clock starts ticking on those eight months remains to be seen,” said el-Gallal. He said it wasn’t yet clear what defined liberation — whether it was when the rebels control the entire country, or the arrest of Gadhafi. Ian Martin, a U.N. special adviser on Libya, said the United Nations was ready to help with Libya’s next elections, but that there would be immense hurdles in its democratic transition. “How can there not be challenges in a country where there is virtually no living memory of an election?” he asked reporters in Tripoli.

believe in the jury system and accept the verdict, but I can’t take smiles from Casey Anthony right now. She may be not guilty but her baby is dead!” Socialite Kim Kardashian tweeted: “WHAT!!!!???!!!! CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY!!!! I am speechless!!!” Director Fred Savage cited the infamous OJ Simpson trial and outcome: “I guess OJ has a new friend now. Disgusting.” But why is everyone so upset about the Casey Anthony verdict? UCLA forensic psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman notes, “The main reason that people are reacting so strongly is that the media convicted Casey before the jury decided on the verdict. The public has been whipped up into this frenzy wanting revenge for this poor little adorable child. And because of the desire for revenge, they’ve been whipped up into a lynch mob.” And when MTV’s The Voice host Carson Daly said, “That jury better get into hiding,” he could never have been more right. Within days of the verdict being announced, the jurors were targeted. More than anything, everyone wanted to know how or, more importantly, why the twelve jurors let her go. “Everybody agreed if we were going fully on feelings and emotions,
she was done. I wish we had more evidence to put her away. I truly do, but it wasn’t there,” Juror No.2 said. Regardless, the jurors have felt the wrath of their decision. One juror who has chosen to remain anonymous said that the transition back to normalcy has been anything but and said that the verdict has put a strain on relationships: “One of my friends told me that his wife forbade him to talk to me. My own sister cussed me out. It has ruined my life.” Other jurors have received death threats and been ostracized, banned from certain shops and eateries, as well as rejected by family and friends alike. Evidently, one juror was so fearful of the immense resentment by the public that she quit her job in Florida and moved out of state. Although Casey Anthony was found guilty on four counts of giving misleading information to law enforcement officials, the public outrage says it is not enough. As for speculations as to Casey’s whereabouts or next move, nothing is clear. But a paralegal named Margie Walter reinforced the fact that Casey will have to come to terms with a life of fear as no one is her friend right now: “She has a life sentence even if the jury didn’t impose it.”

Due to the impending hurricane, several of welcome week’s events were canceled and the school was closed on Saturday at 10:00 p.m., though the Office of Student Activities announced plans to reschedule them. As soon as it was safe, welcome week and classes kicked off, and freshmen began to get the full college experience. Lastly, to all of the freshmen class of 2015 and the new transfer students, welcome to the University of New Haven!
Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty
of Anthony outside her Florida jail to the Internet, radio, television, and streets, the world has been abuzz with an outpour of overwhelming fervor and unhappiness with Casey’s freedom. Even when news anchor Julie Chen read the breaking news, she appeared shaken up and upset. Throngs of people who idly waited as she was released berated her shouting “Baby killer!” and carried signs saying “Don’t be a part of Blood Money” and “Travesty of Justice” and “Justice for Caylee…Bella Vita.” One woman said that Anthony should watch her back as she is “not welcome back in Orlando.” Another said that she would not be surprised if Casey was killed in a few years. In July, a woman named Sammy Blackwell was rammed while driving and had her car flipped twice by a deranged motorist who had pursued after thinking she was Casey Anthony. Among the many death threats Casey has received, one included a photo shopped photograph of Anthony with a bullet in her head. In addition, “I Hate Casey Anthony” pages were started on Facebook with posts coming in at least 10 per second. Celebrities like Star Jones voiced their reactions on Twitter and Facebook: “I

Time for Flu Shots, and Some May get a Tiny Needle
By LAURAN NEERGAARD staff writer
–––––––––––––––––––––
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s flu vaccine time again — and some lucky shot-seekers will find that the needle has shrunk. The first flu shot that works with a less-scary skin prick instead of an inch-long needle is hitting the market this fall. Sorry kids, this option so far is just for adults, and it’s so brand-new that it will take some searching to find a dose. But there are plenty of the other varieties — standard shots, a special highdose shot for seniors and the needle-free squirt-inthe-nose option — to go around. At least 166 million doses of flu vaccine are expected to be produced this year. The big question is whether people will get it. Usually each year’s flu vaccine varies from the previous versions as different influenza strains emerge. This year, the vaccine’s a duplicate because the three flu strains that sickened people last winter still are circulating. Scientific studies aren’t clear about how much a person’s immunity wanes over a year, although it varies by age and overall health. But federal health officials and the American Academy of Pediatrics weighed the evidence and say don’t skip this year’s vaccination — it’s the only way to be sure your immune system remains
revved enough for the best protection. “You’re not going to be able to count on that vaccine protecting you throughout a second season,” says Dr. Lisa Grohskopf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A yearly vaccination now is recommended for virtually everyone, except babies younger than 6 months and people with severe allergies to the eggs used to make it. Last year, 49 percent of children and 41 percent of adults were vaccinated. Say you never catch the flu? You could be a carrier, unknowingly spreading the misery when you feel little more than a sniffle, says Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. “You should be vaccinated each and every year to ensure both you’re protected and you’re giving the maximum protection to people around you,” he says. Here are some questions and answers about flu vaccinations: Q: How does the new skin-deep vaccine work? A: Sanofi Pasteur’s Fluzone Intradermal uses a needle less than a tenth of an inch long to inject vaccine just below the skin’s surface. This layer, called the dermis, is so rich in a certain type of immune cell that the new shot uses a lower dose of the same vaccine that’s in regular
flu shots. Studies found it triggered as much protection as full-strength muscle shots — although it did cause more skin reactions like redness, swelling and itching. There’s little data on pain perception. But it’s only for 18- to 64-year-olds. It hasn’t been studied in children’s more-tender skin. Sanofi estimates it will sell less than 1 million doses this year while introducing the newly approved product to doctors, before a full market launch next flu season. Q: What about the original ouchless flu vaccine, the nasal-spray version? A: MedImmune’s FluMist is for a different age group, people ages 2 to 49 who are healthy, meaning no one with underlying health conditions or who is pregnant. Unlike flu shots that are made with killed flu virus, FluMist is made with live but weakened virus. Q: For older adults, does CDC recommend the high-dose shot? A: The immune system weakens with age so that it doesn’t respond as well to an ordinary flu shot. Sanofi’s Fluzone High-Dose is a standard into-the-muscle shot but it contains four times the usual dose, to spur more immune response in people 65 and older. First sold last year, studies still are under way to track if that translates into fewer illnesses and hospitalizations. It can cause more of the typical flu-shot side effects. The CDC says it’s OK for se-
scary world after graduation. If it was not for my internship, I would have never considered applying to graduate school at all. For those of you just beginning your search for an internship or those of you still considering whether you would like to complete one, consider carefully. Make an informed decision and do your research, because you want to get the most out of your
internship as possible. Find a program that will be as rewarding to you as my internship was. The more you take out of it, the more it is worth it. Try to find a program that will let you experience the type of work you are interested in. And remember that you only get out what you give in. So go in positive and willing to learn. You may be in for some surprises yourself.

teracting with nature.” The Buddhist works on the other hand, had been used both for teaching doctrine as well as providing a focus for devotional activities. Wellington Wang is one of the world’s foremost collectors of Chinese artifacts, particularly ones scattered the United States and Europe following China’s cultural revolution. Wang had previously made a donation to the university with a portion of his collection of Asian rocks. “The Art of Rocks from Asia” is currently on display in the Marvin K. Pe-
terson Library. The soapstone carvings and rocks both constitute a small portion of Wang’s total collection, which consists of thousands of pieces of art, including knives, pottery, and works of bronze and jade. On May 23, 2009, Wang was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at UNH’s Spring Commencement Ceremony. An opening reception was held for the carving exhibit in the Seton Art Gallery on August 31 from 5:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Many people came in to see the works on display and to discuss them. Among
those attending was President Kaplan, who made a few remarks on the collection and Wang’s generosity, as well as injecting humor into the crowd, noting that Wang once told him in an interview that his total collection was “worth billions,” before adding that he was referring to Taiwanese dollars. The exhibit will remain open until Friday, September 23, and the gallery will be open Tuesday to Thursday from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. as well as Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m-2:00 p.m.

niors to choose either a high-dose shot or the regular shots from a variety of manufacturers. Q: Who’s at highest risk from the flu? A: Young children, anyone 50 or older, anyone with chronic medical conditions such as asthma and certain heart or kidney problems, and pregnant women. A flu vaccination during pregnancy has the added benefit of passing some protection to the baby. Q: When should I get vaccinated? A: Anytime, but it
takes about two weeks for protection to kick in. Flu typically starts circulating around November, and peaks around January. Some chain pharmacies started vaccinating a month ago. Next month, Hawaii begins offering free in-school vaccinations for elementary and middle school students. Don’t put it off too long, says Dr. Scott Gorenstein of Great Neck, N.Y., an emergency physician whose own son Nate, then 4, nearly died of flu during the 2009 pandemic. The boy already had been
exposed by the time vaccine finally was available that fall. Now, Gorenstein says the whole family gets inoculated in early fall — even though Nate has developed a vaccine allergy and as a precaution checks into the hospital for his dose. “We got lucky,” says Gorenstein, who now advises a group called Families Fighting Flu. “You just don’t want to be a statistic that is preventable.”

tax breaks. If GOP lawmakers, backed by the presidential hopefuls, continue to thwart Obama's bid to mix targeted spending cuts with tax increases, Axelrod said, "we're going to take our case to the American people." Recent polls underscore Obama's challenge. A Pew Research poll found that 39 percent of independents approve of his job performance, while 52 percent disapprove. An AP-GfK poll showed a sharp erosion of support for Obama among white voters and women. Less than half of all women and less than half of all men approve of the job he's doing, and only 50 percent of women say he deserves re-election. But the same polls show that far more voters blame former President George W. Bush more than Obama for the nation's economic woes. Whether that sentiment lingers for 16 more months could prove crucial. Hattaway said Obama must start by winning back moderates and motivating "millennials," voters in their 20s and early 30s. "The economy is not going to come roaring back before the election, so he has to give them a vision" for a future with jobs and with social justice for groups, including gays, Hattaway said. Obama also must try to minimize the frustration among his liberal base supporters, many of whom feel he is too quick to compromise. Some complained loudly Friday when Obama yanked a proposal to tighten federal smog standards. Questions about the environment, war and foreign affairs will figure into the 2012 race. But all parties agree jobs are the overriding issue. Analysts differ on what level of unemployment is politically fatal. President Ronald Reagan handily won re-election in 1984 with unemployment at 7.2 percent, which was down slightly from the rate at the start of his term. President Jimmy Carter lost when unemployment was at 7.5 percent and President George
H.W. Bush lost with a similar level, but both faced other problems as well. Hopeful Democrats say Obama can survive next year if people feel growth is coming soon. Another way to survive is uglier: admitting the economy is a mess, but pressing the case that the GOP alternative is so unacceptable that the incumbent should stay in office, even with no recovery in sight. Obama's aides say the election will be "a choice, not a referendum." That hints at a bruising effort to divert attention from the president's record and focus on what the Obama campaign believes are the GOP nominee's chief shortcomings. Democratic optimists feel the GOP nominating process will play into that strategy. The Democratic National Committee issues a steady stream of statements and videos with headlines such as "Romney makes move to embrace Tea Party." Several Republican candidates, including Romney, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and Perry, are proven vote-getters at the state level. Soon they will show whether they can handle the scrutiny and grind of a presidential campaign. Democrats say their records provide much to use against them. Perry, for instance, has called Social Security "a Ponzi scheme," and said climate change is a "contrived phony mess." Romney switched his position on abortion, gay rights and gun control after leaving the Massachusetts governor's office and seeking the Republican presidential nod. He also is criticized for his role in Bain Capital, a corporate takeover firm that eliminated jobs in some cases but expanded them in others. Bachmann has spent only three terms in the House; the last member to go directly to the White House was James Garfield, elected in 1880. If Sarah Palin decides to run, she will be asked why she quit her job as Alaska's governor with more than a year left in her term.
Tough Economic Climate as Obama Seeks 2nd Term
To do so, Hattaway said, Obama must link the candidates to congressional Republicans, blamed by Democrats for the nation's stalled job growth and recent downgrade of U.S. creditworthiness. Making the connection might not prove easy. Obama's potential challengers have avoided getting dragged into details of the bitter Capitol Hill fights over deficit spending. At least for now, they can lob criticisms at the president while offering few specific, measurable alternatives. "President Obama oversaw an economy that created zero jobs last month, and that is unacceptable," Romney said Friday. But the influence of the tea party and other conservative groups may give Obama some openings, by pushing the GOP field so far to the right that the candidates risk alienating vital independent voters. In a debate last month, the top contenders pledged to oppose a deficit-reduction plan even if it cut $10 in spending for every $1 raised by new taxes. Perry, who entered the race after that debate, also has taken a tough stand against higher taxes. Obama's team says independents, who might pay scant attention to ideologically driven primaries, will find such positions extreme when they compare the eventual GOP nominee and the president. Political aide David Axelrod hinted that Obama will try to sharpen his differences with Republicans who insist on spending cuts in virtually every area and who refuse to let tax cuts expire, as scheduled, for the wealthiest. It's hard "to create an economy in which people can get decent jobs and raise a family at the same time we're cutting back on our commitment to spending on education and research and development that will create innovation and jobs," Axelrod said in an interview. The Republicans' "essential message is, let's go back to the policies that helped get us in this mess," he said, citing Wall Street deregulation and corporate

to have a good first year, then keep some of these tips in mind while you adjust yourself. The sooner you get yourself on the right track, the better your college experience will be. So, first, get yourself organized. Believe it, when those assignments start piling up, a planner will save your life. Pencil in when all of your assignments are due and when your big tests are. There is no need to be surprised. Second, get comfortable talking to your professors. Don’t be intimidated by them, because they are here to help you. Learn their office hours and use them for help when you need it. If you struggle, it’s up to you to realize that you need help. Third, use the library and the services they offer when you need extra help. And lastly, the one I really emphasize is join something. There is a great selection of clubs and organizations on this campus: everything from Greek life to intramural sports. There is no reason to stay in your dorm rooms all day. Get involved, meet
new people, and make that resume look good. Best of luck this year!!! Sophomores: Welcome back sophomores. You’re back for your second year, and now maybe you feel as if your pros at the college expe-
taking on more responsibilities really looks good on a resume. Start thinking about leadership positions or ways to improve organizations you are in. Additionally, update your resume. If you need help, contact the career center on campus. They will be your best friend when it comes to getting help finding jobs, internships, and writing resumes, thank you notes, and cover letters. If you haven’t considered it, think about studying abroad. There are some wonderful programs offered here at the university. Maybe it’s the one thing you need to make your college experience the best it can be. And lastly, choose your classes carefully. This is the time to really make sure you are staying on top of your grades and credits earned. You don’t want to fall behind. Good luck this year! Seniors: Seniors, can you believe that it is our last year here. Time has flown by, and now we are the graduating class. Come May, we will be walking on the field with diplomas in hand. The real world is just around the corner. It’s a scary idea. But before we
let anticipation (or dread) of graduation get the best of us, remember that we still have 10 months as undergraduates to go. Let’s make the best of it. We’ve been here for four years, so by now, I’m pretty sure we can say we are pros at being in college. But remember that it’s not over yet. This year, enjoy your year. You won’t ever get this time back, so make the most of it. Continue to work hard, attend campus events, and be involved. This is the year to avoid senioritis. You don’t want to miss graduating on time, because of one class. The good skills you learned the last three years still apply. So whatever your plans are for this year, best of luck to all of you. Good luck making some big decisions, keep focused, have fun, and make some fantastic memories to last you a lifetime. No matter what year you’re in, good luck this year. There is so much to look forward to. Make the most of it, and enjoy. Welcome back everyone!

The fall semester has officially begun, and I know most of us are excited to be back. Summer can be absolutely fantastic, but after a while, we all start to miss the people we meet here at school. Sure we don’t miss the classes or the work, and I’m sure more than once you wish you could just live here at school without having to be involved in the school part. Unfortunately, that’s not an option. We are all here for one thing: to gain an education. Sometimes that takes a lot of work, stress, and it’s not as easy as we would want it to be sometimes. So, on that note, I have some advice for all of you. I’ll start with the freshmen and work my way up to my senior class. Freshmen: Welcome to the University of New Haven! I know it can be daunting, especially since this is your first full week of college. Don’t be too overwhelmed, even if it is your first time away from home. It’s only the first week of classes, so don’t stress too much over it. If you want

rience. I’d like to think of sophomore year as a second chance at college. You’re still getting started, so if freshman year did not go as well as planned, it’s your chance to fix things. Take this year and continue to explore the university. Maybe last year you did not take full advantage of everything we have here. Do it this year. My advice to you is to take a step out of your comfort

zone. It’s a new year, and it’s time to get out of the freshman routine. Join a new club, make some new friends, and improve your grades by visiting the library more often if you found that that was something you did not really do last year. For many of you, this is the year you truly get into your classes for your major. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Be aware; sophomores often get a case of the “sophomore slump.” Do not let yourself just slide by without much effort. This is no time to slack off. So, have a good year and make this year count just as much as last year did. Juniors: Juniors now it’s time to welcome you back to school for another year. At this point, you are half way through your college career. Freshman year seems like it was just yesterday, but in fact so much has changed for you already. This is the year that you really start looking ahead into your future. It is the year you think about internships and making contacts. Continue to stay involved on campus, but this year, take a step up. Being more involved and

Letters from the Dean of Students Dear Returning Students: Welcome to the start of the 2011-12 academic year! We are excited about your return to campus and the arrival of our over 1550 new undergraduate students. I encourage you to make an effort to welcome the new students; connect with friends, faculty and staff and take advantage of the many resources and opportunities UNH has to offer. Please plan to participate in the Welcome Week events which are open to all students. The Welcome Week schedule can be found at: www.newhaven.edu/ orientation. Sophomores Sophomore year is a time when you have a number of choices to make as you reconnect with friends, faculty and staff at UNH. Some of you may have feelings of indecision, being lost or depressed. These feelings are experienced by many students at sometime during their sophomore year so know that you are not alone. If you are feeling a lack of motivation, uncertainty about being in college or continuing with your major or career choice coupled with a lack of energy, motivation and difficulty sleeping, it is important to seek assistance from a Residential Life staff member, your advisor, Counseling and Psychological Services or a University faculty or staff member. I encourage you to get involved in a club or organization if you didn’t do so your freshman year; meet with your academic advisor to discuss your academic plan and career goals; find a mentor on campus; start planning for an internship or study abroad experience; and register with ChargerLink (www.myinterfase.com/newhaven/ student), your free online career management system to view internships/jobs, post your resume, and explore careers! To assist you, we have developed a Sophomore Experience website which can be found at: http://www.newhaven.edu/sophomores. This site will link you to the resources that are designed to support your success this year. Keep an eye out for the sophomore programs which will be offered by your class officers, the Office of Student Activities and University departments. Juniors You are already half way through your college experience and are probably wondering how the last two years went by so quickly. Your junior year is a time to consolidate all of your experiences to date. Some of you have made plans to study abroad next semester, others will take on leadership positions and serve as mentors to freshmen and sophomores, focus on internships, co-ops or off campus jobs which enhance your learning experience and prepare you for your career. A visit to the Career Development Center, www.newhaven.edu/cdc/, is a must for all juniors. Be sure to register with ChargerLink (www.myinterfase.com/newhaven/student), your free online career management system to view internships/jobs, post your resume, and explore careers! As a junior, you will be challenged to balance a more demanding course load along with your co-curricular activities. Please be sure to take advantage of the resources offered by the Career Development Center, Center for Learning Resources, Counseling and Psychological Services, and your academic advisor. Seniors As a senior, you are beginning to prepare to leave the University and this year will be filled with “last times” as you move toward graduation and membership in the UNH Alumni Association (http://www.newhaven.edu/alumni/). Your courses will be even more demanding, many of you will have an internship requirement to fulfill, and you will finalize your resume and begin the job search or apply to graduate school. Be sure to visit the Career Development Center; register with ChargerLink (www.myinterfase.com/newhaven/student), your free online career management system to view internships/jobs, post your resume, and explore careers; and, check with the Office of Student Activities on the content of your co-curricular transcript (www.newhaven. edu/studentactivities/cct) which will validate your out of class learning experiences at UNH. As leaders in the residence halls, student government, athletics, clubs and organizations and in the classroom you will serve as a mentor to other students. Senior year is a time to bring closure to your college experience and reflect on all that you have learned both academically and personally. You no doubt have noticed a number of changes on campus since you left in May to include the expansion of the Bookstore which now houses the Campus Card Office, the renovation of the Kaplan parking lot and a number of improvements in the residence halls. For information on parking permits, shuttles and the UPass program please go to: http://www.newhaven.edu/student-life/3950/. In closing, I encourage you to model the UNH community values which form the Charger Compact. As a member of the UNH community: I will strive for academic excellence. I will assume responsibility for my words, actions, and inaction. I will respect the dignity, rights and property of all persons. I will strive to appreciate, respect and learn from others whose experiences and opinions are different from mine. I will conduct my academic and personal life with integrity. I will strive to contribute positively to the campus, local, and global communities. Best wishes for a successful year. The Dean of Students Office is always available to assist you with any question or concern you may have. We are glad you are back! Sincerely, Rebecca Johnson Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
Dear Members of the Class of 2015: Welcome! You have arrived and are officially a college student. The past year of applying to colleges, worrying about getting in, the happiness you experienced when your acceptance letter came, your high school graduation and saying goodbye to family and friends as you prepared to come to UNH is behind you. You are about to start a wonderful new adventure, a new beginning. During the next four years, you will be challenged academically and personally. As you encounter challenges, I hope that you will utilize the many University resources which are available to you. The following are some success strategies to insure you have a good year: Put academics first. College is different than high school and you are here because you want to be. Work hard, manage your time well, go to class, meet deadlines, utilize campus resources, and seek help when you need it. Get to know your professors and meet with your academic advisor on a regular basis. Your learning will depend on the interest, motivation and discipline you bring to the classroom and your studies. Challenge yourself, explore possibilities, meet new people, discover, and venture outside the UNH campus into the greater New Haven community. Be persistent and don’t give up. Be open to students with different lifestyles and values from your own but also be true to your own values and beliefs. Make good choices and be a community member who treats others the way you wish to be treated. Be sure you understand University policies and the Code of Conduct found online in the Student Handbook. Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. Get involved. Join a club or organization; participate in the many activities, events, sports contests, community service opportunities, speakers and programs offered. Become a contributor to your campus community and actively participate in your college experience. Your first few days at UNH may seem like a whirlwind - meeting new people, adjusting to a new routine, finding your way around campus. You may also feel lonely, homesick, and wonder if you will make new friends and fit in. These are very normal feelings which others around you will also be experiencing. Adjusting means learning how to deal with a multitude of issues and your Resident Assistant, Academic Peer Mentor, Academic Advisor, FE001Class, the First Year Success Center, faculty and staff are all here to assist you as you make the transition to the University. I encourage you to stop in to see me if you have a question or concern and look forward to getting to know you over the next four years. Best wishes for much success and a wonderful college experience filled with learning and fun as you prepare for your future. Sincerely, Rebecca Johnson Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students

only goal of the game. The remainder of the half included just two more shots as both defenses refused to give in. The next 45 minutes of regulation saw similar play from both teams. Neither squad was able to control the pace of the game as the ball went back and forth throughout. With time
running out in the second half, Matthew DiDonna of N.Y.I.T. missed on a header to give his team the lead at the 87:27 minute. It would eventually be the last opportunity for either team as they prepared for extra minutes. New Haven put pressure on the Bears in both overtimes but could not
find the net as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. N.Y.I.T. had 16 total shots in the game but just two on goal while New Haven connected on six shots total and three on goal. Senior goalkeeper J.J. Comeau (Wallingford, Conn./Mark T. Sheehan ) played all 110 minutes without allowing a goal
and Dos Santos and Joseph D’Antonio (Oceanside, N.Y./Oceanside ) provided pressure offensively for the Chargers. New Haven returns to action on Wednesday, September 7 as they head on the road for their first away contest against Dowling. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.

with Willie Lyles, who ran a Houston-based service that provided scouting reports of high school players. And this was the first season-opening game of top-five teams on a neutral field since 1984, when Jimmy Johnson won his debut as coach of Miami against an Auburn squad featuring Bo Jackson a year before he won the Heisman Trophy. There was a crowd of 87,711 at Cowboys Stadium, where LSU played its second consecutive game. The Tigers ended their 2010 season on the Dallas Cowboys’ home field in January with a 41-24 victory over Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl when Jefferson passed for three touchdowns and ran for another score. But Jefferson is now suspended indefinitely, as is reserve linebacker Josh Johns, because they are facing felony charges of second degree battery stemming from a bar fight near campus last month. Plenty of subplots in this one. “We’ve had a lot on our minds as team coming into this game,” Lee said. “It’s not something that we wanted to happen. But you have to put that to the side
and move forward.” Lee’s 10th career start, his first since a win over Louisiana Tech in 2009, was far from spectacular. The senior completed only 10 of 22 passes for 98 yards, but didn’t have an interception and appeared steady throughout the game. The lone LSU turnover came when Lee stepped up toward the line to point out a pending blitz, at the same time the ball was snapped behind him. That set up Rob Beard’s second field goal to give Oregon a 6-3 lead. Oregon, which lost to Auburn in the BCS national championship game last season, has consecutive losses for the first time since they losing its last three regular-season games in 2007. “This is going to show the character of this team, how hard we’re going to come back and play after this loss,” Ducks quarterback Darron Thomas said. “The offense had self-inflicted wounds all game.” LSU took a 16-13 lead just before halftime, going ahead to stay, on Rueben Randle’s 10-yard TD catch from Lee. Randle caught the ball in the front corner of the end zone over fresh-
man cornerback Terrance Mitchell — in the spot Harris would have been playing on defense. The other LSU touchdown before halftime came when fill-in punt returner Barner fielded a punt inside the 5, took a couple of steps backs. That’s when Tyrann Mathieu stripped the ball away, scooped it up after it bounced on the turf and took a couple of steps into the end zone. LSU has won 34 consecutive nonconference games, the longest such streak in the nation, including all 23 in the regular season under seventhyear coach Miles. “Our football team is united. They play together,” Miles said. “You put a ball on the line and they’ll scrap you for it.” Ware had 26 carries for 99 yards while Fort had 14 runs for 98 yards and two TDs, his second on a 16-yard run in the fourth quarter. LaMichael James had one of the worst games at Oregon, even though he scored a touchdown for the 12th time his last 13 games. James had 18 carries for 54 yards, only five more than he had against Auburn in the national title game. “I don’t think we were
ready mentally. We have a lot of underclassmen and people who’ve never played in a college football game,” James said. “It was difficult.” De’Anthony Thomas, who scored on a 4-yard run in the final minute, had his first fumble when big defensive end Sam Montgomery reached in and stripped the ball away. The ball popped directly into the hands of safety Eric Reid. After Ford’s 5-yard TD, Craig Loston punched the ball out of Thomas’ hands, setting up Ware’s 1-yard TD that made it 30-10 after Mitchell was called for pass interference in the end zone. Darron Thomas was 31of-54 passing for 240 yards with a touchdown and an interception in a game the Texas native considered “bigger than the national championship.” Thomas went to Oregon instead of LSU after Miles wouldn’t promise that he could play quarterback.

NEW YORK (AP) — As Donald Young walked out of Arthur Ashe Stadium — a member of a Grand Slam tournament’s final 16 for the first time — U.S. Davis Cup captain Jim Courier held up two thumbs and called out to the 22-year-old American. “Hey, Donald!” yelled Courier, who won four Grand Slam titles and was ranked No. 1. “Come on, man! Keep up that mojo!” Since Young turned pro as a teen, there have been all manner of ups and downs, including a rather public spat with the U.S. Tennis Association this year. What’s never really been questioned is his skill when a tennis racket is in his left hand, and Young is living up to his potential at this U.S. Open — helping give the United States four men in the fourth round for the first time since 2003.
“It feels like a big corner’s been turned, and I really hope it is. I hope he can take this momentum — however it goes here — and use it,” Courier said. “It’s not been as smooth a road as maybe some pictured for Donald, but he’s showing what he can do now.” Cheered on by a raucous, partisan crowd in the Grandstand at Flushing Meadows, Young turned in his second consecutive upset of a seeded player by beating No. 24 Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina 7-5, 6-4, 6-3 Sunday, two days after eliminating No. 14 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland. “You have your highs and lows in tennis,” said Young, who was born in Chicago and now is based in Atlanta. “I’ve definitely had the lows. Hopefully I’ll have a lot more highs.” One low came in April, when Young wrote on Twitter an expletive-laden rip of the USTA about what
he perceived as a snub in its awarding of a wild-card berth for the French Open.

DETROIT (AP) — Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox arrived in Detroit hoping to start a last-ditch rally for the AL Central title. Instead, their playoff hopes are in shambles after three ugly losses to the Tigers. Miguel Cabrera homered and drove in four runs, and Detroit finished off its sweep in emphatic fashion, routing the White Sox 18-2 on Sunday night. "At the end of the game, you are almost laughing because we couldn't do anything to stop them," said Guillen, Chicago's manager. "Just have to move on." Max Scherzer (14-8) allowed five hits over seven scoreless innings, and Alex Avila scored a careerhigh four hits for Detroit, which leads the AL Central by 6½ games heading into a three-game series at

White Sox Routed 18-2 by Tigers second-place Cleveland. Chicago is 8½ back. Mark Buehrle (11-7) allowed seven earned runs in 3 1-3 innings. The Tigers trailed 8-1 in the fifth Saturday before rallying to win 9-8. They scored 26 consecutive runs and led 18-0 Sunday when the White Sox finally scored two in the ninth. "We needed to come here and make a statement. We had to win two of three, if not sweep them, and that's the furthest thing from what actually happened," Buehrle said. "We're not mathematically eliminated, but a smart man isn't going to like our chances right now. We're not going to give up, but we're in big trouble." It was the second-biggest blowout in the major
leagues this season, according to STATS, LLC. Cleveland beat Kansas City 19-1 on May 16. Cabrera's two-run homer into the bushes behind

the center-field wall highlighted a seven-run sixth inning. Although Justin Verlander is making a bid for
but he was much sharper against Chicago, striking out the side in the third and facing the minimum 12 hitters through the first four innings. Not that Detroit needed a dominant pitching performance. Austin Jackson led off with a double in the bottom of the first and eventually scored on Victor Martinez's single. The Tigers scored three runs in the third. Martinez and Avila hit RBI singles, and when Jhonny Peralta hit a grounder to short for a potential inning-ending double play, second baseman Gordon Beckham's throw to first skipped away for an error, allowing Martinez to score.

The White Sox compounded their poor pitching by making three errors on the night. Delmon Young made it 5-0 with an RBI single in the fourth, and Cabrera's double to left-center brought home two more runs and ended Buehrle's night. It was his shortest outing since June 6, 2010, when he pitched three innings against the Indians. Reliever Addison Reed, making his major league debut, allowed RBI singles by Avila and Peralta later in the fourth to make it 9-0. Guillen said before the game he wants to be in ChiAP PHOTO cago next year. He's signed through 2012 with the White Sox. "All my desire, everything, is to be in Chicago," he said. "I don't know why people think I want to leave." No matter what happens, he'll probably want to forget this game. With the score out of hand, both teams began substituting liberally, although Guillen — trying to preserve pitchers for a Monday doubleheader at Minnesota — left righthander Shane Lindsay out on the mound for the entire sixth inning. Lindsay, whose mother managed to travel from Australia on short notice to see her son's major league debut Friday
night, allowed seven runs and eight hits in his only inning of work Sunday. Peralta hit a two-run double, Brandon Inge added an RBI single, pinchhitter Andy Dirks hit a two-run single, and Cabrera made it 16-0 with a towering, 425-foot homer, his 26th of the year. "I didn't want to leave the kid out there — no one wants to see that — but we couldn't do anything with a doubleheader tomorrow," Guillen said. "That was hard for me to see and hard for everyone." Dirks added a two-run homer in the eighth. "It's almost a little surreal at times when you're scoring that many runs," Dirks said. "At the same time, it's just one game. It doesn't matter if you win by two or you win by 20." NOTES: Guillen said before the game OF Carlos Quentin (sprained left shoulder) may not return any time soon. ... Guillen went about halfway to second base in the second inning after Alex Rios was called out stealing, apparently ready to argue the call. Then he seemed to change his mind and went back to the dugout. ... Both teams face quick turnarounds for day games Monday. Detroit is at Cleveland, and Chicago plays its doubleheader at Minnesota. The White Sox will send Philip Humber (8-8) and Zach Stewart (1-2) to the mound against Minnesota's Anthony Swarzak (3-5) and Scott Diamond (1-2).

When you’re used to winning and you start losing, it doesn’t feel good,” Young said. “So it was a learning experience. I think those things I did helped me now,” added Young, who hit 46 winners to Chela’s 19. “It’s better late than never.”

After Hurricane Irene delayed the beginning of the school year for everyone, I’m glad that we are all able to be back on campus and even happier that the campus sustained minimal damage. Despite a few downed trees and some minor roof leaks, things were cleaned up quickly enough for students to come back to campus by Tuesday. I know having to go back home was an extreme inconvenience (especially for the freshman who had just moved in), but the university did what it needed to do to keep us safe, and everyone worked hard to make sure students could move back as soon as possible. Whenever a new school year starts, it’s nice to come back to school to see all of the construction and updates done around campus. If you haven’t already, go check out the remodeled campus bookstore. It’s bigger, reorganized, and contains a café and computers for student use. Also, the Kaplan parking lot was repaved, and a new walkway was put in for students. Maxcy Hall received a facelift this summer as well, and many of the residence halls were improved.
Negative
I don’t know how many of you have checked out the new insideUNH, the new student UNH portal to all things UNH. The concept is a good one, but the one thing I feel needs to be improved is that it needs a universal login for all of the links available on the portal, not just some of the links. Last week, when I went out to my car, I found two promotional flyers melted to my windshield. These flyers literally needed to be scrubbed off, because they could not be removed cleanly. I know many students had this problem that day, and though the incidents were reported, it should not have happened. I don’t know if the flyers were put there by someone who works at the particular establishment that was being advertised or if it was a student from UNH who is their representative on campus. Either way, cars are personal property and should not be touched. If those flyers had melted on the actual body of the car as opposed to the windshield, more damage would have been done.
The Battery Charge
After taking a look at insideUNH, I noticed that the portal lets you have access to your UNH email, Blackboard 9 account, and Matrix account. However, when you click the link, the system makes you login again. If Matrix, Blackboard 9, and insideUNH all require the same login and password, you shouldn’t have to login a second time. I know the argument can be made that “it’s for security reasons.” However, if that is the case, the system should not let me click on the email icon, bringing me into my email, without the need of logging in, especially when the email login and password are different.
Liana’s Literary Commentary Wither by Lauren Destefano Welcome back Chargers! Now that the summer has unfortunately come to an end, what better way to greet the new school year than reading a great book? (In the spare time between classes, sports, clubs, and homework, of course). Lucky for you all, I spent part of my summer catching up on the novels collecting dust on my cluttered bookshelves; you will not be disappointed with my findings. This “Commentary” is extra special because it involves the book, Wither, a novel written by former Albertus Magnus University student, Lauren Destefano.
Destefano grew up right here in New Haven! And her debut novel is nothing short of spectacular. The story is set in a dystopian future year where modern science has found the cure for cancer and practically any other illness you can think of. Newborns of that generation are injected with the antidote and are, in a sense, “perfect.” They live long lives and never fall victim to disease. For years, scientists suspected nothing was wrong; that is, until they grew up and began having children of their own. For reasons unknown, their children are genetic time-bombs. Males only live until the age of 25 while females

only live until 20. They succumb to an inexplicable illness at these ages and slowly wither away until death. To keep the human population alive, girls are kidnapped and sold into polygamous marriages. This is where we find Rhine Ellery, a sixteen year-old girl sold to Governor Linden Ashby along with two other girls: Jenna (eighteen) and Cecily (thirteen). Rhine wants nothing more than to escape the mansion she has been confined to, find her brother, and taste freedom once more. But as she spends more time in the Ashby home, Rhine realizes there is more to this twisted family than once believed. House-

There are rumors of gruesome things being done in his underground laboratory, but Rhine does not plan on staying long enough to find out what they are. As she plans the ultimate escape, Rhine meets Gabriel, a servant in the household. She begins developing feelings for Gabriel despite her marriage vows to Linden. Linden, Rhine also learns, is not the monster she once thought he was and actually begins to pity him and his misfortunes in life. When Jenna turns nineteen and begins showing symptoms of the deathly

virus, Rhine knows something is definitely wrong. No one has ever died from the virus early, and Rhine is convinced that Vaughn is behind Jenna’s sudden illness. In one final attempt at freedom, Rhine and Gabriel escape the mansion and enter the crowded city before them, unaware of what is to come or whether anyone has acknowledged their absence. Rhine knows this isn’t over, but she will do anything to keep her independence. Beautifully crafted and worded, Wither presents a fresh plot and setting to the reader. There is something dark and mysterious about the characters. You expect them to act a certain way
only to be surprised by a personality trait you never knew existed. Most importantly, the age virus is an extremely intriguing subject. It makes you wonder “what would the world be like if we only had 20 or 25 years to live?” Wither is powerful and simply astounding. Author Lauren Destefano could not have created a more intricate and twisted world than this one. The sequel Fever is due out in February 2011. But until then, pick up a copy of Wither if you so desire.

the ages of 16 and 24. This movie is so hilarious at every turn and situation that Dylan and Jamie go through. I highly recommend this to anyone needing to see a feel good comedy.

Dave’s Music Report Summer ’11: In Review
By Dave Iannacone
Summer 2011 may be over, but it was certainly one for the books in the music world. Aside from the countless summer anthems, there were some significant milestones made. It’s no surprise that Adele’s 21 has been one of the most (if not the most) successful album of year, but it’s also breaking records. Not only has it remained in the top three on Billboard’s album chart for the entire duration of its release, but it has also
spent 12 non-consecutive weeks at number one. This makes it the album that has spent the most weeks at the summit since 2000 when Santana spent a dozen weeks at the top with Supernatural. In addition to her album success, her single “Rolling The Deep” went to be one of the summer’s biggest hits. Outside of Adele, Katy Perry made history of her own when the fifth single from her Teenage Dream album, “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) went to number
one. This tied her with Michael Jackson for most number one singles from an album. Once again, this summer was full of dance anthems perfect for every party. No doubt the song of the summer was LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem.” Other summer party anthems included Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer, Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass,” Hot Chelle Rae’s “Tonight, Tonight,” Britney Spears’
“I Wanna Go,” and Cobra Starship’s “You Make Me Feel…” featuring Sabi. We also saw Lady Gaga tone it down a little with “The Edge Of Glory” and Lil Wayne taught us “How To Love.” Thanks to one of the summer’s most popular shows, The Voice, coaches Adam Levine (and his band Maroon 5) and Christina Aguilera teamed up for the summer’s hottest duet, “Moves Like Jagger.” However, the collaboration of the summer
was clearly hip-hop icons Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne. The album was one of the most anticipated of the year, and it did not disappoint. On a sad note, this summer also saw the loss of several irreplaceable artists. The first was E-Street saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who was featured on Gaga’s “Edge Of Glory” single at the time of his death. Warrant front man Jani Lane also passed away in addition to legendary songwriters Nick
Ashford and Jerry Lieber. However, the summer’s biggest death was undeniably Amy Winehouse, who suddenly passed away in late July. Having been publically battling addition for years, her death was unfortunately far from shocking, but saw a huge outcry from fans and celebrities alike. Her career may have been short lived, but her talent will truly be remembered for years to come.
The MTV Video Music Awards may not be the most prestigious ceremony in music, but every year they see legendary and iconic moments that live on in music history. This year certainly had a lot to live up to. Lady Gaga was set to open to show, but instead we got her male alter-ego, Jo Calderone, who after a several minute monologue, broke out into Gaga’s current single “You and I,” featuring a special guest appearance from Brian May of Queen. Despite being one of the strangest performances in VMA history, it may just have been one of the best. Some of the less successful performances in-
cluded Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Nayer’s “Give Me Everything,” Lil Wayne’s “How To Love”/”John” medley, which failed to live up to the hype, and Chris Brown’s poorly lipped medley, which had some pretty cool choreography, but became kind of repetitive after a while. However, the night still had some great moments including Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “surprise” performance of “Otis,” and Young The Giant’s energy-filled take on “My Body.” Adele stripped things completely down for “Someone Like You,” letting her voice work its magic and proving why she is one of the most talented artists out today.
Probably the best performance of the night came from Beyoncé, who had announced her pregnancy before the show. Singing her album track “Love On Top,” Queen B totally owned the stage, and ended by throwing her mic down, undoing her jacket and revealing her babybump to the world. This year featured two tributes, as well. The first of which was the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, presented to Ms. Britney Spears. The tribute performance featured a swarm of young girls dressed in Brit’s most famous outfits dancing to a speedy medley of her hits. Lady Gaga (still dressed as Jo) presented her with
the award, almost reenacting the famous Britney/ Madonna kiss, before Britney nipped it in the bud and claimed she’s “already done that.” The second tribute was to the late Amy Winehouse. After speeches from her friend Russell Brand and Tony Bennett, who revealed a clip of him and Amy in the studio, Bruno Mars perplexingly performed “Valerie” in tribute. The question really was, why have Bruno, who was neither a friend nor someone who was directly influenced by Amy, perform and why sing “Valerie,” which although a hit, was collaboration with Mark Ronson and a cover? Why not perform one of
her many great originals? The awards were pretty predictable. The increasingly strange Justin Bieber took home Best Male Video for “U Smile,” while Gaga (still dressed as Mr. Calderone) took home Best Female Video for “Born This Way.” Britney Spears took home Best Pop Video for “Till The World Ends,” The Foo Fighters won Best Rock Video for “Walk,” and Best Hip-Hop video went to Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass.” Tyler, The Creator
shockingly won Best New Artist, beating out the likes of Big Sean, Foster The People, and Wiz Khalifa. However, the big winner of the night was Katy Perry, who won Best Collaboration for “E.T.” with Kanye West and the biggest award, Video Of The Year for “Firework.” Overall, this year lived up to expectations. Here’s to another great year in music videos!
The 2011 VMAs
Potter Climbs to the Top as No. 3 Grossing Film of All Time
By JOANN WOLWOWICZ ASSISTANT EDITOR
–––––––––––––––––––––
Without a doubt, one of the most anticipated movies of the summer had to have been Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. This was one movie that avid fans had waited for since the novel’s release back in July 2007. The wait was finally over on July 15, 2011, when the second part of the final movie was released in theaters. With advance tickets selling out fast, more than 2,000 shows were sold out even before the day came. In fact, the film made over $32 million in advance ticket sales alone. So was the movie what fans expected it to be? Whether it was or not, The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 shattered the midnight box office record and made $43.5 million before dawn, all from excited fans of the series waiting to find out if it was. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was the final adventure of the Harry Potter film series. Based on J.K. Rowling’s seventh and final book, the movie was split into two separate films. With the good and evil forces against each other and the wizarding world
of Harry Potter in a full out war, it was time for the ultimate showdown between Harry himself and Lord Voldemort. As Warner Brothers said; “it all ends here.” And indeed it did end with this final film. It was not only the end of the franchise, but more of an end of an era that’s lasted over a decade. That being said, it was most important
to fans that this final film was done correctly and that the final Harry Potter movie went out with a bang, along with being very true to the novel as well. While, many fans thought that the first installment was a slow, character driven movie, based on the wanderings and quiet moments of the trio as they searched for the Horcruxes, critics agree that this second installment was the best of all of the Harry Potter films, especially in regards to action and heartbreak. At only two hours and ten
minutes, the movie was in fact the shortest of all the Harry Potter films, but it can easily be labeled as the best films in the franchise. It had everything fans of the series could ask for: action, adventure, romance, comedy, and most importantly closure. Though many fans of both the books and the movies will complain
that there were important things omitted from the movie, it’s important to remember that books and movies are wired differently. Not everything from the book can be included in the movie, and in-depth explanations of things are difficult to incorporate when an audience’s attention is at stake. Ultimately, with the help of the final book being separated into two films, the final film was able to stay as close as possible to the book, even incorporating some of the scenes word for word as originally written. The film itself has al-
ready broken numerous records as it’s been in theatres including shattering the midnight box office record, holding the opening day record, and the opening weekend box office record, raking in $475.5 million worldwide. In fact, according to mugglenet.com, “in a single day, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 took in more money than four of the previous seven Harry Potter films did over their entire opening weekends.” While it moved into a week in theatres, the franchise passed Star Wars as the highest-grossing film franchise of all time. (I expect making eight movies had something AP PHOTO to do with it.) On July 30, 2011, the film officially hit one billion in ticket sales, making it the top earner in the series. And finally, on August 7, the film placed itself in the number three spot of all-time moves, passing The Return of the King.” Now Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is only behind Titanic and Avatar. So most likely, third place is where the film is going to stay, unless it makes an additional $700 million to make it past Titanic and win the second place spot.
