WEST HAVEN—Cookies and goodies and screams, oh my! Walking to Bar-tels on Halloween night brought a sense of excite-ment with the only ex-planation being SCOPE’s haunted house.

Remembering years past, my roommate and I decided to get to the Ech-lin Dining Hall extremely early so we were the first ones ready to be scared. Although there seemed to have been some last minute running around, the music, cookies, and candy were soon set up and ready to be enjoyed. The twists put on the cookies and the candy were great. The cookies could be decorated with orange frosting and black

sprinkles and students could put their favorite candy in little containers to make it more festive. Students could also deco-rate masks with just about anything imaginable. The music set the mood of

creepiness, but also light-ened things up a little with music from Rocky Hor-ror Picture Show, which got students dancing and laughing. Then it was time to enter the haunted house.

We were lead outside and into Bartels through a side entrance. I must ad-mit, this first room scared me the most. Completely dark with things glowing throughout the room, our guide left us to wander throughout the room and try to figure out how to es-cape it. It was about a min-ute later when we noticed at least one person walking through the room. We tried to follow the glowing foot-prints on the floor, but they lead in circles and into the walls. The entire sojourn in the darkness lasted only about three minutes (at maximum), but it was nonetheless disconcerting to have no idea where we were.

The next room was straight out of Gotham

Too Many Soldiers in New care centers

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky.—In a rush to correct re-ports of substandard care for wounded soldiers, the Army flung open the doors of new specialized treat-ment centers so wide that up to half the soldiers cur-rently enrolled do not have injuries serious enough to justify being there, The As-sociated Press has learned.

Army leaders are putting in place stricter screening procedures to stem the flood of patients overwhelming the units — a move that eventually will target some for closure.

According to interviews and data provided to the AP, the number of patients admitted to the 36 War-rior Transition Units and nine other community-based units jumped from about 5,000 in June 2007, when they began, to a peak of nearly 12,500 in June 2008.

The units provide coor-dinated medical and men-tal health care, track sol-diers' recovery and provide broader legal, financial and other family counseling. They serve Army active duty and reserve soldiers.

Just 12 percent of the soldiers in the units had

UNH Students Make a Deal

–––––––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN—Last Sat-urday the stage in Dodds auditorium was alive with the lights and sounds of the TV game show Deal or No Deal. With Tim Fasano lending his talent to por-traying Howie Mandel and the 16 lovely ladies of the 5,6,7,8 Dance Team hold-ing the cases, this event promised to be the biggest of the semester thus far. It did not disappoint.

The Gaming Club planned everything right down to changing the boarder color around items already picked as the show

does with dollar amounts that have already been picked. The display of computer technology and coordination of lighting and sound effects was phe-nomenal. It was truly like watching the original show with a different cast.

Since school policy prohibits the giving out of cash, the Gaming Club got inventive with the prizes offered. They ranged from a single paper clip to a Nin-tendo DS with things in between like Post-it notes, a stapler, a Tempur-Pedic pillow, and a digital cam-era. Personally, I was hop-ing for either the camera or

Comparatively, the SCOPE Haunt-ed House this year was better than years prior. There were more shrieks, squeals, and screams. Between the Joker room, the darkness, and an in-sane asylum, the creepiness reigned. Hopefully it’ll only get better!

The Up ‘til Dawn program for St. Jude’s was very well attended. Between the people shaving their heads for breast cancer awareness and fundraising events such as the Up ‘til Dawn program, people are being extremely supportive and it’s a great thing to see.

Obama got elected president!!!! Let the democracy begin and our rights be protect-ed. (I hope…) Don’t forget I had to write this last Monday…PS: Prop 1 didn’t pass, and neither d id Ques t ion One!! w00t! That one is really only wishful thinking. It’s a good day for democrats. I hope…

Pyromaniacs unite! Serial arson-ists—leave us the heck alone! Not that this campus doesn’t make it easy for people to commit such crimes as se-rial arson, but it should not be done. Shame on the campus for not having smoke detectors where they should. The fire alarms in the dorms go off very easily for incidents that are not serious (oh no the popcorn cooked too long) but of course when things are actually on fire, no alarms go off. Also, as per my sources, the fire department wasn’t even called until a couple fires in! Apparently arson isn’t important enough for the fire depart-ment. And in the midst of all our won-derful campus safety—I have yet to

see it in action. Promises of cam-pus escorts when over

the years I cannot count the amount

of people who have been de-nied the escort service, failure to use the tex-t ing system, etc. This cam-pus better get its act together soon before we let in another freshman class o f a coup le thousand.

'HSM3' maintains its box-office grades with $15MLOS ANGELES—Hollywood made audiences repeat senior year.

Disney's "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" hauled in $15 million to remain the top movie for the second straight weekend, accord-ing to studio estimates Sunday.

Starring Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens in a big-screen sequel to the Disney Channel TV movies, "High School Musical 3" raised its 10-day total to $61.8 million.

Debuting at No. 2 with $10.7 million was the Weinstein Co. comedy "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as pals who do a skin flick to dig them-selves out of debt.

Lionsgate's horror sequel "Saw V," the lat-est tale about psychokiller Jigsaw, slipped from second place to third with $10.1 million, lifting its 10-day total to $45.8 million.

Expanding nationwide after a weekend in limited release was Clint Eastwood's "Change-ling," which took in $9.4 million to finish at No. 4. The Universal Pictures drama stars Angelina Jolie as a single mother victimized by police who botched the investigation into her missing son.

Freestyle Releasing's "The Haunting of Mol-ly Hartley" debuted with $6 million to come in at No. 5. The movie stars Haley Bennett as a traumatized teen who finds fresh terror at her new school.

"RocknRolla" — the latest from Madonna's soon-to-be-ex-husband, Guy Ritchie — was a dud as it expanded from limited to nationwide release. The crime romp featuring Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton took in just $1.8 million, finishing well outside the top 10. Madonna and Ritchie announced their separation last month.

Police: bombings kill 7, wound at least 33 in IraqBAGHDAD—A string of bombings killed sev-en people and wounded at least 33 others on Monday, including a senior Oil Ministry offi-cial, authorities said.

Six people died when two bombs — one of them hidden in a trash can — exploded in Tahariyat square in central Baghdad during the morning rush hour. Police said 21 people were wounded, including 10 policemen and two women.

The explosions caused extensive damage to shops lining the square in the predominantly Shiite eastern side of Baghdad.

Also on Monday, Abdul-Sahib Salman Qu-tub, one of three senior undersecretaries in the Oil Ministry, suffered minor injuries when a bomb went off at his house as he left for work, ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said.

Jihad said Qutub's driver was seriously in-jured in the attack.

battlefield injuries while thousands of others had minor problems that did not require the complex new network of case managers, nurses and doctors, according to Brig. Gen. Gary H. Cheek, the director of the Army's warrior care office.

The overcrowding was a "self-inflicted wound," said Cheek, who also is an assis-tant surgeon general. "We're dedicating this kind of oversight and management where, truthfully, only half of those soldiers really needed this."

Cheek said it is dif-ficult to tell how many patients eventually will be in the units. But he said soldiers currently admitted will not be tossed out if they do not meet the new standards. Instead, the tighter screening will weed out the population over time.

"We're trying change it back," to serve patients who have more serious or multiple injuries that require about six months or more of co-ordinated treatment, he said.

By restricting use of the coordinated care units to soldiers with more complex, long-term ailments, the Army hopes in the long run to close or consolidate as many as 10 of the transition units, Cheek said dur-ing an interview in his Virginia office near the Pentagon.

In the past, a sol-dier with a torn knee ligament would have surgery and then go on light duty, such as answering phones, while getting physical therapy. But last Oc-

New Treatment Centers Overflowtober, the Army began allowing soldiers with less serious injuries such as that bad knee to go to the warrior units.

The expansion came in the wake of reports about poor conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washing-ton, D.C., including shoddy housing and bureaucratic delays for outpatients there.

Brigade command-ers began shipping to the transition cen-ters anyone in their unit who could not deploy because of an injury or illness. That burdened the system with soldiers who re-ally did not need case managers to set up their appointments, nurses to check their medications and other specialists to provide counseling for issues such as stress disor-ders.

The Army's goal now, as spelled out in a recent briefing given to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is to screen out those who do not need the ex-panded care program, shifting them to regu-lar medical facilities at their military base or near their homes.

Jon Soltz, an Iraq war veteran and chair-man of VoteVets.org, said the Pentagon is making a fair argu-ment. He acknowl-edged that some sol-diers with less serious injuries might not need the units' services.

But he said com-manders need to be able to move their sol-diers who cannot de-ploy due to an injury to the units because that is the only way they can get a replace-ment before going to war. Otherwise, the brigade goes to battle

without the forces needed.

"The larger concern here is that the prob-lem that is driving this is the manpower problem," said Soltz. "The Army is overex-tended. We don't have enough guys."

It is vital, he said, that the medical sys-tem care for all the solders who need help and that any changes should not threaten that care.

Raymond F. DuBois, a former act-ing undersecretary of the Army and man-power adviser under then-Defense Secre-tary Donald H. Rums-feld, said the units ad-dress "a problem that was not made aware at the highest levels" and do it well. But he has worried for months that the units were overstretched.

"Guess what? They did it so well every-body wants in," said DuBois, now an ad-viser at the Center for Strategic and Interna-tional Studies.

Cheek stressed that the new more stringent screening process will not deny care to sol-diers in need or limit the treatment units to those with battle wounds.

"We don't really care about the source of the wound, illness or injury. We really care about the severity of the wound, illness or injury," said Cheek. "So if it's a severe, very acute condition that needs rehabilita-tion and a lot of man-agement and over-sight, regardless of where it comes form, that soldier needs to be in this program."

The latest data shows that it is work-ing: The patient load is starting to inch

down, from the peak of 12,478 in June to less than 11,400 in October.

Cheek estimates that the screening pro-cess will reduce the number to between 8,000 and 10,000.

As those num-bers come down, the Army is also review-ing which units get more use. The list of potential closings include warrior tran-sition units at Fort Rucker and Redstone Arsenal, in Alabama; Fort Leavenworth in Kansas; Fort Dix in New Jersey; and Fort Irwin in California. According to Army data, many of them ei-ther have only a dozen or so patients now, or can be combined with another nearby facil-ity.

At Fort Campbell in Kentucky, however, more than 600 soldiers are in the treatment program. Staff there are bracing for a surge of patients when the three 101st Airborne Division brigades start returning home in the coming months.

Gen. Peter Chiarel-li, Army vice chief of staff, toured the unit in late October. He gath-ered more than two dozen staff around a long table to hear their concerns about how the program is operating. Afterward he marveled that they talked not about their own administrative complaints, but about specific problems they were trying to solve for their patients.

In a small office down the hall, Lisa Gaines was blunt about what the unit meant to her.

"It's done wonders for our family," said the mother of five.

ine how difficult it is to fill a room as large as the Alumni Lounge with things to scare students the whole way through. It was a good concept.

Many people are afraid of clowns so

it was appropriate to have them within the next room. I must ad-mit that I was so dis-tracted by the decora-tions in this room that I didn’t even see where the clowns came from. It was a little obnox-ious to have clowns laughing in my face, but the creepiness came when one of the clowns stopped laugh-

ing and just stared. That’s when I wanted to leave the room.

We were then lead outside once again, up a stairwell draped with spider webs, thankfully not as low as last year, and up

into the Student Ac-tivities wing of Bar-tels. The Upper Stu-dent Lounge housed the insane asylum. The two volunteers in this room were great. They looked great and their mannerisms were great. I allowed myself to be lead away from the group to a table containing was what described to me as the remnants of the younger brother of one of the insane.

There were also things throughout the hallway meant to scare those going through it.

I must say that it was nice to not be chased by someone with a face chainsaw for the third year in a row, though I was still expecting something to happen.

This year’s haunted house was a great suc-cess and for those of you who didn’t go, boo to you!

Two of the contes-tants chose to take the deal that the banker gave out while the other two chose to go all the way to the final case, with differing degrees of success. One of the contestants won Post-it notes while the other won the Nintendo DS.

The show did hit a slight rough patch when an audience member noticed that the prizes in the cas-es followed a pattern during the fourth, and final, round. It is a shame that someone figured out the pat-tern, but even more of a nuisance when they brought down the

I was a little upset come giveaway time as the advisor for the Gaming Club neglect-ed to pull my ticket number from the bucket, but it was still great to feel that I was able to win something even though I was not chosen to be on stage. Sadly I was one num-ber away from win-ning the digital cam-era, but my RA won so at least I can enjoy the continued satisfac-tion of bugging him about it.

If possible in writ-ing, I would like to

give a standing ova-tion to the ladies of the 5,6,7,8 Dance Team. They were all beautiful and I know that I never could have stood on a ramp in heels for as long as they did. They were the perfect models for UNH’s rendition of Deal or No Deal.

This event was a great success and even if they didn’t win anything, stu-dents left Dodds audi-torium with smiles on their faces. I sincerely hope that the Gaming Club plans to put on this event in the future because if everything thought it was good this time around, I can only imagine what is in store the next time.

Since The Charger Bulletin is a weekly newspaper as opposed to a daily paper, it is sometimes difficult to write these articles and stay current at the same time. I am sup-posed to hand in my articles to the editors by Sunday night each week so that they can be read, proofread, fixed for clarity, and then sent off to print so that they can be around campus on Wednesday morn-ing. This week is an extremely difficult week for me because as I sit in my office at 9:30 p.m. writing this, I am thinking about how when you get to

read this the next pres-ident of the United States will have been chosen. Across the vestibule in the Cam-pus Center, the USA Today and New York Times newspapers will have front head-lines on an historical election winner – un-less, of course, Florida can’t read their ballots again. Even though I am sick and tired of hearing about Obama and McCain all over the news and during my TV commercials, I will have to say that it has been an inter-esting political battle. We will, for the first time in our history, have either a black

male as president or a female vice president to head our country. So I would hope that you all took the time out yesterday to cast your vote or to send in your absentee ballots. I know I sent mine in a few weeks ago, and if your wondering who I voted for, you may just have to hunt me down and ask me.

Go out and show your support!times people just need a little push and for that you can all visit me in the USGA office every Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for a name and number of a tu-tor. Or e-mail your help request to me at Breed2@newhaven.edu. There will be a list of student tutors sent out soon, howev-

As of right now all materials used

As of the print-ing of this issue of The Charger Bul-letin, it is uncertain as to whether Sena-tor Barack Obama or Senator John McCain is the newly elected president of the Unit-ed States. Likewise, it is uncertain as to whether Question One in Connecticut and Proposition Eight in California passed on each state’s bal-lots. Regardless of their outcome, I feel it necessary to still men-tion these two crucial pieces of legislation.

Proposition 8, vot-ed on in the state of California, is a con-stitutional amend-ment to the state of

California’s constitu-tion. Proposition 8, if passed, would change the constitution of California to elimi-nate the right of same-sex couples to marry, regardless of the fact that it was deemed le-gal by courts this past year. In fact, the Cali-fornia Supreme Court unequivocally stated that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry under their state’s constitution. Proposition 8 would go a step further, both ridding these citizens of their marriages and claiming marriage to be only “between a man and a woman.”

Closer to home, Connecticut’s Ques-

tion 1 was voted on on Elec-tion Day to de termine whether a c o n s t i t u -tional con-vention will be held in the state. Per Con-nec t i cu t ’s state consti-tution, vot-ers are automatically asked every 20 years whether the state con-stitution should be re-vised or amended.

Supporters claim that Question 1 would allow the process of initiative and refer-endum, as wel as a coalition of taxpayer

g r o u p s . W h i l e Republi-can Con-necticut Governor M. Jodi Rell and a few other g r o u p s are sup-p o r t e r s of voting “yes” to Question

1, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (a visitor to the UNH campus), the League of Women Voters, the CT Citizen Ac-tion Group, and State Treasurer Denise Nap-pier are all opposed to Question 1 and sup-port voting “no.” Oth-

er opponents include 45 organizations and 70 clergy members. Some of these even include the American Civil Liberties Union, Love Makes a Family, Gay & Lesbian Advo-cates and Defenders, Planned Parenthood, CT Women’s Educa-tion and Legal Fund, and the Coalition of Black Trade Union-ists.

This mass of oppo-nents are afraid that, even though Connect-icut just became the third state to legalize gay marriage, the con-stitutional convention would reverse this new law. Additional-ly, pro-choice groups and other civil rights

groups are worried that they will be at-tacked and muzzled if Question 1 is voted with an overwhelming support.

While these mea-sures may or may not have passed by the time of this printing, there is certainly some-thing to be said by the fact that these are ac-tually coming up to be voted on. And regard-less of which side won this past Election Day, it is part of democracy that the losing side considered this only a battle. This will come up again: for better, or for worst.

Looking Beyond the Presidential Race

I Don’t Know If All Sheep Go to Hell, But Satan Definitely

Shops At HollisterIf you watch The

Hills, change cell phone models more than once a year, or enjoy drinking camel piss (Starbucks), then stop reading now.

I cannot stand that everywhere I turn there is some form of materialism that ap-peals to and warps egos as well as dumb down our society. Oh wait, your society, not ours.

Every single day our nation is inundated with shallow, fantastic ideals that only en-courage rampant ego-tism. Commercials, television shows, magazines, and radio, all taint the minds of our society into be-lieving that material goods and their dol-lar values will make you “cooler” or more

interesting. Jeans that show off your ass, fa-cial washes that prom-ise to make you look young forever, diet pills that will make you fit overnight, and overpriced clothing brands so you can feel like you’re some-one important. I can picture the typical consumer shopping for some overpriced handbag: “Look at that handbag! It’s $300, but it has the designer’s initials on it! If I buy this bag it will make me look more appealing and I’ll be the target of ev-eryone’s envy!” Cram your ego. Chances are if you need to purchase something based on its price tag, then you have the personality of a cancer ward. An overpriced item only

displays that your ego needs to be fed and you’re giving into fears concocted by the media.

Companies pur-posely display their products in a specific light to subvert your self-confidence. The commercials aren’t there only to encour-age you to purchase their products, but to sew fear. Think about it, the commercials we all witness almost always have attrac-tive people featured in them or portray an ide-al situation that would never have occurred if you didn’t own or consume “X” product. Take for instance hair dyes for middle-aged men. They all convey the message that grey hair is unsightly and unattractive, and by

not buying their prod-uct, the man won’t be checked out by his cougar counterparts. Not only that, but they literally try to erode a man’s self-confidence by using supposed testimonials where men compare their grey-haired state to their new colored-hair state in which the men discuss their previous lack of confidence. How pathetic.

However, what’s more pathetic, is blind consumerism is socially accepted. Money should not for-sake individuality nor should it negatively bolster egos. Dol-lar values only prove you’re mommy and daddy’s little knuckle-dragger.

UtterlyDisgusting

On Saturday, Oct. 25, I had the pleasure–or so I thought–of go-ing to my first UNH Hockey game, which was great to see so many students and faculty at the ice rink supporting our team.

My joyful hockey experience was soon turned upside down, however, when op-posing team Rhode Island College was announced. After each Rhode Island Col-lege player’s name was announced, UNH fans booed him. The heckling of the game then proceeded to get worse: fans went to the extent of cheering that the girls of RIC have syphilis. I understand that sports are compet-itive; by nature, even I am a very competitive person. But I still be-lieve in showing re-spect to other players. I too want our team to win but I would never drop down to the level that I saw that night.

I think one of the worst things of the night occurred when a player from Rhode Island College was lying on the ice hurt. Instead of being qui-et and wondering if he was alright, some UNH students pro-ceeded to yell and say that he was a liar and was not really hurt, while others wished that he was hurt badly. In any sporting event I have ever participated in or gone to, when-ever a player gets injured the opposing team’s fans have nev-er badmouthed the person. In fact, one other person and I were the only people who clapped when he got off the ice, which just in case you didn’t know, is custom at sporting events.

The acts of UNH students absolutely baffled and appalled me, as it was the first

My Favorite Thing: The ServiceLeast Favorite Thing: The area

Type of Food: American-ishAverage Meal Cost: $15 per person

I was over at Kel-ley’s apartment the other day (you re-member her, right?) and we needed a quick fix for the bad week that we were having so we decided to walk down to Dela-ney’s for a little food and some drinks. I was always told it was the “Spectators for Southern students” but the atmosphere tells me quite the contrary. Maybe the people from Southern are classier than us or something because there are two bars, an outside patio for sit down dinners, and a

fancy sit down area on the inside. Doesn’t sound like Spectators to me!

We went inside to get seated and asked for a patio seat even though it was cold outside. They turned on these cool space heaters and I was im-mediately comfort-able sitting in temper-atures in the 40’s. A very nice waiter came out fairly quickly and asked us what kind of drinks we wanted. Kelley wanted to try a seasonal beer so she asked for suggestions. I was surprised how well versed he was in

German beer, but then I look at the menu and realized why. They have a selection of hundreds of differ-ent beers and liquors that you could choose from, no wonder why everyone goes there on a week night. After a few minutes he re-turned with our drinks and asked us what we wanted to eat.

Sweet potato fries ($2.95) are delicious so I ordered those and a bunch of wings ($4.50-$28.50 de-pending on size). Oh man, do I love wings! Just around this time I noticed what type

of area we were in. Of course the say-ing goes, “There’s no good area in New Ha-ven” but I noticed we were kind of in a more ghetto area than usual, and sitting on the pa-tio was probably not a good idea. I took notice of who was outside and decided that since there were more tables of people around that we would be okay.

Our food arrived and we “chowed” down on it for a few minutes when I no-ticed out of the corner of my eye an older man stumbling towards the

patio. I thought to my-self, “Oh, great…” and pretended not to notice him. By this time it was just us and one other table of two and it kind of creeped me out. Before we knew it, the man stum-bles to our tables ask-ing us for boxes and cigarettes. We sort of ignored him and saw him stumble inside.

The other couple left and we were feel-ing uneasy being out there by ourselves so when the waiter came back we told him about the home-less drunk crack head guy. He told us we

would be okay so we felt a little better. After that, the waiter came outside more often than before just to see if we were ok. That made me give this place another star above the rest of the average American-ish restaurants because their service was out-standing. He even made us laugh to try and get our minds off of the creep.

A few minutes later the hobo came outside and asked us for ciga-rettes again (what?) and I simply said,

The casket carrying the body of Julian King is placed on a horse drawn wagon after funeral service for King, the nephew of Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, Monday, Nov. 3, 2008.

CHICAGO—Hun-dreds of mourners streamed into a pri-vate funeral service for Oscar winner Jen-nifer Hudson's slain mother, brother and nephew Monday, Nov. 3 at a South Side church.

Small blue tick-ets that read "Hud-son Family Funeral" were needed to enter the massive Apos-tolic Church of God, but that didn't deter crowds of onlookers who gathered outside.

Police directed traf-fic around the building, keeping passers-by across the street from its large front park-ing lot and away from those attending the services for Darnell Hudson Donerson, 57, Jason Hudson, 29, and Julian King, 7.

The three were found shot to death late last month, the adults in Donerson's home and Julian in a vehicle found several miles away. Julian is the son of Jennifer Hudson's older sister, Julia Hudson.

Mourners Gather for Hudson Funeral

No one has been charged in the shoot-ings, although author-ities have called Julia Hudson's estranged husband, 27-year-old William Balfour, a "person of interest." He remains in custo-dy on a parole viola-tion.

Shenika Bowers, 35, of Chicago was one of several dozen people who stood outside the church in hopes of sharing sympathies with the singer-actress, who she did not see enter-ing the church Mon-day.

"She needs us right now," Bowers said of Hudson. "She needs support from every-one who she can get it from. I cannot imag-ine how she feels but I do feel for her."

Latosha Funches, 33, of Chicago, said she's been a Hudson fan since the singer was on American Idol and wanted to pass along her condolenc-es.

"I have kids of my own too," said Funch-es, who pushed her 11-month-old son in a stroller. "I know how she feels. I just hope

she can get through it. She looks like she's

very strong."M o n d a y ' s

services fol-lowed a pub-lic memorial held Sunday at Pleasant Gift Memorial Bap-tist Church, Hudson's child-hood church.

The bodies of Donerson and Jason Hud-son were dis-covered Oct. 24 at the fam-ily's home. Ju-lian's body was found three days later in a sport utility

vehicle on the city's West Side.

Police arrested Balfour the same day the bodies of Doner-son and Hudson were discovered. After 48 hours — the longest Chicago police can hold a person without charges — Balfour was taken by the Il-linois Department of Corrections on a pa-role violation.

Balfour had served seven years for a 1999 attempted murder and vehicular hijacking conviction.

His mother, Mi-chelle Balfour, of Chi-cago, has denied that her son had anything to do with the deaths.

LOS ANGELES—It's a most excellent outcome for Keanu Reeves: The Matrix actor doesn't owe a dime to the paparazzo who sued him.

After deliberat-ing for less than three hours, jurors unani-mously rejected the civil lawsuit Monday, ruling that Reeves is not responsible for the photographer's alleged injuries. Ali-

Reeves Wins Lawsuit Against Paparazzoby cARYN ROUSSEAUASSOCIATED PRESS

son Silva had asked the jury to award him $711,974, which in-cludes medical bills, lost wages and puni-tive damages.

"I respect the jury's decision," Silva told reporters outside the Los Angeles County Superior Court after the verdict was read. "That's what we were here for since the be-ginning."

Silva said he would continue to work as a paparazzo despite the jury's decision.

Would ever attempt

to snap Reeves' photo again?

"Why not? It's busi-ness," he responded. "I wish Keanu is happy in his life. I have noth-ing against Keanu."

Silva claimed that the star of The Ma-trix, Speed and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure struck him with his Porsche in March 2007, causing him to fall and injure his left wrist.

Jurors heard how Silva gave contradic-tory statements about what happened and

even saw a video of the celeb shooter using his supposedly damaged hand to scale down a chain link fence after getting video of Brit-ney Spears.

"We obviously felt from day one that Mr. Reeves was not negli-gent," said Reeves' at-torney, Alfred Gerisch, after the verdict. "It's unfortunate that this lawsuit was brought and it's unfortunate that we had to go this far — a lot of time, a lot of effort and obvi-ously a lot of money."

The actor waited for the verdict outside the courthouse's caf-eteria on the roof but declined to comment after the decision.

Attorneys issued closing arguments Friday, the jury delib-erated about five min-utes before leaving for the weekend, and resumed their work Monday morning. All 12 decided to reject the case; civil trials in California only re-quire nine jurors to be in agreement.

The panel of ju-

rors — six men and six women — was a decidedly Holly-wood bunch. One of the jurors said he is an animator for "The Simpsons," while an-other helps coordi-nate movie shoots in public parks. A pair of actresses and a former voice-over artist were eliminated from the jury pool.

Reeves testified early on and remained in the courtroom throughout the five-day trial.

Tell him to try talking to her about her bad attitude, and maybe that will help when all of you hang out together. Maybe her personality just doesn't go well with the rest of yours, but you should still give her a chance.

A: You should tell your friend to grow a pair and break up with her. This can be done a number of ways, either by telling her that it's over and making a run for it or just ignoring her calls, text messages and facebook messages. She'll get the message eventually.

AN AP/CHARLES KRUPA PHOTOPhiladelphia Phillies celebrate after their win.

Phillies clinch Game Five

After two cancelled games and a multitude of confusing calls and strange situations, the Philadelphia Phillies clinched the fifth game against the Tampa Bay Rays and won the Ma-jor League Baseball World Series.

The win for the Phillies came after 25 years of losing, one that was long awaited and needed. The first game started off eas-ily enough, with a 3-2 win over Tampa Bay. Scores came from Werth, Utley, and Vic-torino and the Phillies, who were contested to lose the series, were off to a great start.

Game two went in the other direction, with Philadelphia fans holding their breath as the Rays came back 4-2 to win. The ma-jor players in the post season (namely Werth, Utley, and Howard) were unusually absent and the bullpen of the Rays was able to keep the Phillies from scor-ing practically any runs. Pitcher Brett Meyers was unable to hold off the Rays and both teams advanced to game three.

Game three start-ed off with a huge rain delay, which had players soaked and fans shivering in their seats. But once the game started, it was action all the way into the ninth inning, with a running score of 4-4. For the first time in Fall Classic history, a walk off single brought in the winning run for

the Phil’s and pushed the series into a 2-1 game situation. The Rays, who had beat the famed Red Sox in

the last game of their Championship series, had to have wondered if this series would match up in length.

The fourth game of the series, and my personal favorite, started the way most post season base-ball games normally do. However, when Joe Blanton stepped up to bat and hit the first home run in Fall Classic History for a pitcher since 1974, everyone knew it was going to be a differ-ent type of game. Multiple runs, RBI’s and two run homers by Chase Utley and Ryan Howard later, the Philadelphia Phil-lies were up 10-2 and the Tampa Bay Rays were at a loss. The series went on to fa-vor the Phillies in the fifth (and possibly fi-nal) game.

On Oct. 27th, the fifth game of the World Series started, and ended, without a winner. Rain delayed the game multiple times and, in the sixth inning, forced the

game to be delayed a whole night. The league issued notice that the game would start the next day with

the same pitcher, in-field, outfield, and at bat as when they left the field the night be-fore. The move was highly controversial as it gave players time to rest, set up new plays, and discuss all the happenings of the beginning of the game.

Oct. 28th, how-ever, came and went without a game. It was not until Oct. 29th, starting tied 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth, that the last game of the World Series rolled out and the Philadelphia Phil-lies won 4-3. For the first time in 25 years for baseball, and many years more for hockey or football, Philadelphia had its sports victory parade. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phil-lies for an astound-ing win in the most unusual World Series we’ve ever lived too see, and better luck next year for all the teams!

REcSports Introduc-es Handball

Almost all the sports offered in Sea-son 2 have been of-fered before, but the RECSports program also introduced a new sport to its collection. The existing sports had an amazing turn-out and were certainly exciting as ever, but what about RECS-ports’ newest edition, team handball?

There is always some anticipation, some excitement when a sport starts up that is new to the program. There is always that worry that the sport could be a totally flop. However, the worry is worth the risk of try-ing something new because if the sport takes off the games are riveting. The team handball games were like no other, marking the debut of the sport at UNH a success.

So what is team handball? Team hand-ball is a soccer-like game, but played by throwing ball rather than kicking. Teams of six throw the ball around and try to score in small goals. A player cannot take more than three steps

while holding the ball and may not hold the ball for more than three seconds. Due to this fundamental rule team handball is a fast–paced, exciting game.

The first week of Season 2 showed that team handball is also a high-scoring sport for RECSports. Thus far the teams have taken to the sport with enthusiasm and the games have been awesome. According to one RECSports staff member’s obser-vation, defense is par-ticularly challenging, but the game is still thrilling especially as participants show amazing skill.

RECSports has two divisions of team handball: men’s and co-rec. In this first week of the sport 80’s Babies, Bangin’ Bulldogs, Delta Chi, How We Doin, Jon’s Lunch, and Red Army each one at least one game. RECSports would like to thank all the teams that came out and made the first week so successful.

Speaking of firsts begs the ques-tion- where did team handball come from? Team handball has been around in one

form or another since ancient Greece. Hand-ball sports acquired growing interests the farther west the sports became known. Ger-many, France, and Denmark are among the first few countries to pick up versions of handball in the middle ages. Denmark and Germany were a cou-ple of the first coun-tries to play the mod-ern version of team handball. Today team handball is one of the most popular sports in England (behind soc-cer of course). The sport has an interna-tional federation and is played in the Sum-mer Olympics. In fact, team handball did appear at this year’s Summer Olympics. In the men’s team handball competition France won their first gold in the sport. Nor-way took the women’s team handball gold. So team handball isn’t as obscure as one might think.

Team handball looks to be a prom-ising sport that the RECSports program can offer in the future. I hope everyone gets a chance to play or at least see a game.

Moylan Named First Team All-conference

SOUTH EASTON, Mass.—Senior Selina Moylan was named Northeast-10 (NE-10) First Team All-Con-ference and sopho-more Holly Dawson earned Third Team All-Conference hon-

ors in a vote by con-ference women's soc-cer coaches.

Celina’s Salacious Celebrity GossipThe latest in celebrity news and gossip

By Celina NatolaPhoenix calls it quits

Joaquin Phoenix has retired from act-ing-to focus on his music. Yes, music. I know you’re confused so let me rewind. Joaquin Phoenix, member of a major acting family and cer-tainly rising star, is trading in his scripts for sheet music.

The actor, 34, an-nounced the big news on Saturday night, Nov. 1 at the premiere of his “last film” Two Lovers.

“Why music?” you may ask. Well, Phoenix learned to play the guitar on the set of Walk the Line, when he played mu-sic legend Johnny Cash. Maybe the idea of becoming a mu-sic legend himself is what motivated Phoe-nix to make the indus-try switch. Whatever the reason, I can pre-dict that it will be the worst decision ever made in his career. No Academy Award

nominee should ever resort to a music ca-reer. Doing it on the side is one thing (Bette

Midler pulled it off). But “retiring” from acting completely is just plain dumb. Now, when he comes crawl-ing back, the media are going to rip him to shreds and the public will be super critical

of his new work. I guess the best I

can say is good luck in your future endeav-

ors, Joaquin. We will miss you.Lil’ Wayne dies

Just kidding! Fans were duped this week-end when a fake BBC News web site claimed the rapper was shot six times early Saturday

morning. The shoot-ing was supposedly tied to the popular gangs, the Bloods and

the Crips.Perez Hilton

popped the bubble when he posted on his own site that the rap-per is still alive. So for those of you that were hoping for the latest Tupac or B.I.G.,

you’ll just have to wait a while longer.Someone needs to save Heroes

The NBC hit He-roes may not be a hit anymore. Two of the show’s co-executive producers were fired this week after its third season has been answered by decreas-ing ratings. The show

hit a low point during season two when the writers’ strike cut the season short and put the storyline way off track.

The two writers, Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb, suppos-edly ran day-to-day production, accord-ing to Variety, which is where the story broke first. Executive producer Tim Kring is supposedly still on board.

As a Heroes fan, I’m so upset by this news! So what, the plotlines have been intense and a little wacky his sea-son. True, every single character is suddenly evil (besides Sylar that just likes to flip-flop between good and evil every five minutes). And of course the world might end in a few months. The bot-tom line is that Ameri-ca will not be the same without Hiro’s ador-able determination or Claire’s whining. Hang in there Heroes! We need you!

ATLANTA—The ex-ecutive who succeed-ed Jay-Z as the head of hip-hop music label Def Jam Recordings died from a self-in-flicted gunshot wound near Atlanta, police said Sunday.

Executive vice president Shakir Stewart, 34, died on Saturday, his New York-based label said

Def Jam Exec Dies from Self-Inflicted Gunshotin a statement.

Stewart was found Saturday afternoon in the bathroom of his home in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Cobb County police spokeswoman Cassie Reece said Sunday. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hos-pital.

Police described the shooting as self-inflicted and would not say who discov-ered Stewart.

The record label

issued a statement Sunday on behalf of Stewart's fiancee, Mi-chelle Rivers, and his family.

"Over the past several weeks, Sha-kir's behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love," the statement said. "As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suf-fering in silence."

Stewart signed such artists as Rick

Ross and Young Jeezy to the label before be-ing named in June to the post once filled by Jay-Z.

The Oakland, Ca-lif., native came to At-lanta to attend More-house College, where he graduated in 1996, his label said in an an-nouncement for his promotion in June.

He previously worked with the Hitco publishing company, where he signed R&B star Beyonce, and

Arista Records, where he signed R&B star Ciara.

Christopher Hicks, a friend of 18 years and fellow music ex-ecutive, last spoke with Stewart about a week ago.

"Whatever hap-pened over the past 24 hours is not a tes-tament to who we all know," Hicks told The Atlanta Journal-Con-stitution on Sunday. "He was a one-of-a-kind individual. If you

looked on his Black-berry (stamp) it said 'One of one.'"

Def Jam called Stewart "a truly in-credible friend and fa-ther who was an inspi-ration to not only our artists and employ-ees, but to his family and the many people who had the privilege of counting him as a friend.”

Delaney’s Reviewhere, right? Since it was $1 Miller High Life night (it was a Monday), after we left there were a lot of col-lege students that ac-cumulated. Kelley and I went to Forest Hills for a little bit and on the way back, at about 1 o’clock a.m., we were going through the light that was right outside of Dela-ney’s. Some drunken idiot who was outside threw a full beer bot-tle into the street and almost hit the car we

were driving in. I trust the restaurant took care of that, but it just goes to show that the area and the people living around it are not choice conditions for a business.

All in all, it was a good experience. It could have gone ter-ribly wrong, but the staff took care of things appropriately and made me feel ex-tremely comfortable to be there. Would I go there again? You bet. Only being two

time I have ever been embarrassed to be wearing my school colors. As I said pre-viously I understand competition, but how would you like it if the other team’s fans did the same to UNH? Plus, the students who committed these crude acts not only made themselves look bad to fellow students who were at the game, but because of these stu-dents the whole UNH community looks like

UNH Shamedisrespectful assholes and all in all gives the university a bad reputation. Overall, I was stunned by the ut-ter disrespect that the other team was shown by some of the UNH students and I hope students think next time before they insult the other team.
