Colorado sheriff: Runaway balloon

saga was hoaxBy DAN ELLIOTTASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A Colorado sheriff said Sunday it was a hoax when parents reported that their 6-year-old son was in a fly-ing saucer-like helium bal-loon hurtling away from their home.

Sheriff Jim Alderden said Richard and Mayumi Heene "put on a very good show for us, and we bought it."

"We believe that we

By now you’ve certainly heard about the controver-sial new Print Green, aka “Pay-to-Print” program that will be implement-ed on campus soon. Last week, The Charger Bulle-tin’s Editor-in-Chief Zack Rosen had the opportunity to meet with Associate Vice President for Infor-mation Technology & CIO of the University of New Haven Vin Mangiacapra and Director of Academic Computing Alan MacDou-gall.

During the past few years especially, the waste of paper has become an apparent problem across campus. Mangiacapra es-timates that paper costs per year exceed $75,000 to $100,000. This money, according to Mangiacapra, can be better utilized to benefit the campus.

To help lower this waste of paper, the university will be implementing the Print Green program to begin on Nov. 9, 2009. Under-graduate students will be given 225 printing credits per semester (equivalent to $18.00), and graduate students will be given 150 credits per trimester. If a student uses more than these 225 credits, an ad-ditional eight cents will be charged per sheet for black and white (including duplex), and an additional 50 cents per sheet will be charged for color. These 225 credits, which will be refreshed prior to the start of the undergraduate and

have evidence at this point to indicate that it was a publicity stunt done with the hopes of marketing themselves or better mar-keting themselves for a reality television show at some point in the future," Alderden said.

The sheriff said no charges had been filed yet, and the parents weren't under arrest. He said he expected to recommend charges of conspiracy, con-tributing to the delinquen-cy of a minor, making a

Midnight Madness, Oct. 15, was the beginning of both the men and woman’s basketball seasons here at UNH. What better way to start of the season than with a pep rally? Basketball was actually first created by James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher, in 1891. The sport was first invented and played at Springfield College, in Springfield, Massachusetts. Oddly enough in the beginning, the rules consisted of the players dribbling a soccer ball up and down the court and trying to get it into a peach basket fixed onto poles. The only problem was that it was a hassle to manually retrieve the ball once someone scored. An open net was introduced around 1900 to end the manual retrieval and a patent for the basketball as we know it today came about in 1929.

By 1887, teams of five were standard and the game’s popularity spread nationwide, to Canada, and to other parts of the world. A number of U.S. colleges adopted the game between 1893 and 1895 and the first college basketball games were played in 1934 in New York City’s Madi-son Square Garden. By 1950, basketball had become a major college sport, opening the doors for professional basketball. The first pro-league was first formed in 1898 to protect the players from exploitation. That organization only lasted about five years. In 1949, two new pro-league teams joined together to form the National Basketball League (NBA.) One of the first and greatest pro-teams was the Celtics, organized in 1915. They played as many as 150 games a season and dominated bas-ketball until 1938.

Just like with any other sport, we each have our own favorite teams that we will support win or lose. Let’s take that same attitude and go out to support and cheer on our own Charger Basketball teams. Let’s see those stands fill up before the opening buzzer.

Did You Know?by Joann Wolwowicz

California gover-nor Arnold Schwar-zenegger openly rep-rimanded his wife for using her cell phone while driving: an act that breaks a law he helped bring into ef-fect in July 2008.

Two photographs of Maria Shriver were posted to the celeb-rity website, TMZ.com on Oct. 13. Both photos show Shriver holding a phone to her ear while behind the wheel of her SUV. Video footage of

Schwarzenegger Lays Down the Law at Home

Shriver was also add-ed to the website later that day.

In response to TMZ’s evidence against his wife, S c h w a r z e n e g g e r wrote on his Twit-ter to thank the site’s founder for bringing the violations to his attention and to de-clare that “swift ac-tion” would be taken. According to the Re-publican American Aaron McLear, the governor’s spokesman clarified that by “swift action,” Schwarzeneg-ger simply meant tell-ing his wife not to do it again.

As it stands, the California law re-quires all drivers to use hands-free devic-es when using their cell phones. Schwar-zenegger has previ-ously praised this law, and even warned his teenage daughter not to violate it.

The Associated Press says that Shriv-er issued a statement on Oct. 14 claiming that she would do-nate her cell phone to a program that helps domestic violence shelters. She said this act is her “version of swift action with a higher purpose.”

Higher Jobless Rates Could Be the New

NormalBy TOM RAUMASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON – Pot-smoking patients or their sanctioned suppliers should not be targeted for federal prosecution in states that allow medical marijuana, prosecu-tors were told Mon-day in a new policy memo issued by the Justice Department.

Under the policy spelled out in a three-page legal memo, fed-eral prosecutors are being told it is not a good use of their time to arrest people who use or provide medi-cal marijuana in strict compliance with state law.

The guidelines is-sued by the depart-ment do, however, make it clear that federal agents will go after people whose marijuana distribution

goes beyond what is permitted under state law or use medical marijuana as a cover for other crimes.

The new policy is a significant departure from the Bush admin-istration, which insist-ed it would continue to enforce federal anti-pot laws regardless of state codes.

“It will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses or their care-givers who are com-plying with state laws on medical marijua-na,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.

By the govern-ment’s count, 14 states allow some use of marijuana for medi-cal purposes. Some medical marijuana ad-vocates say Maryland shouldn’t be included in that group, because the law there only al-

lows for reduced penalties for medical marijuana usage.

The change has critics, including law-makers who see it as a tactical retreat in the fight against Mexican drug cartels.

Administration of-ficials said the gov-ernment will still prosecute those who use medical marijuana as a cover for other il-legal activity.

The memo, ac-cording to officials, is designed to give a sense of prosecutorial priorities to United States attorneys in the states that allow medi-cal marijuana.

It notes that mari-juana sales in the United States are the largest source of mon-ey for violent Mexi-can drug cartels, but adds that federal law enforcement agencies have limited resourc-es.

UConn Football Player Stabbed To Death

Storrs (WTNH) - Po-lice Monday contin-ued to hunt for the person responsible for the fatal stabbing of UConn starting cor-nerback Jasper How-ard, who died Sunday after an incident dur-ing a school dance.

"I have two chil-dren of my own, but I got 105 other sons," UConn Head coach Randy Edsall said. "And one of my sons have been taken away."

Howard, a 20-year-old father-to-be, was stabbed to death at a Huskies homecoming dance party.

"I know that our community is griev-ing this loss and we're all stressed by the vio-lence it did involve," said UConn President Mike Hogan.

It all started around 12:30 Sunday morn-ing when someone pulled a fire alarm in the "U" forcing the crowds of more than 300 people UConn students and others outside.

UConn Police say that's when a fight started between two groups. Howard and another person were stabbed multiple times.

"There's no indi-cation at this point in time that this act is premeditated from in-

He had an electri-fying presence; Jazz was a duel threat for the Huskies, from his cornerback position and as a punt return-er. A year ago, he led the Big East in return yards. With the ball in Jazz’s hands, anything was bound to happen.

His personality matched: quick with a smile, quick with a laugh. Jazz liked the spotlight and was proud of where he came from. Last year, at South Florida, he was quick to point out his family in the crowds.

Storrs became his second home and the Huskies were his extended fam-ily. Not long ago he gave News Channel 8 a tour of the UConn video department.

Players, coaches, everyone in the pro-gram knew Jazz. His death will leave a huge hole in the CT football program.

UConn plans on playing Saturday, in loving memory of Jazz, at West Virginia.

Jazz’s death hits home for UConn family

Jasper Howard came from Miami’s inner city to Storrs, with aspirations of becoming a profes-sional football player and taking care of his family, including his unborn child. His life ended in a place where he was building his dream.

Jasper went by “Jazz” -- fitting for

to step up and be a leader. Let the team know we need to set up and finish games off; finish games strong. So there were a lot of guys hyping everybody up to make sure we finished the game strong,” said Jazz.

“I felt my hand go on the ball, felt I had a chance to get it out of there, I just stripped it out of there; it was a big play,” said Jazz.

He had a knack for play. He was an NFL player in the making;

blessing from God. The eldest child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Joshua, and his wife Anna have officially begun a new family of Duggars. With the aid of a mid-wife, they welcomed daughter Mackynzie Renee on Oct. 8 at their Springdale, Ar-kansas home.

As for expecta-tions of a mass Dug-gar family of his own, Josh says: “We’d be happy with two or three. I think that children are a bless-ing though, and when you raise them right, they’re a great bless-ing.” But Josh says an inevitably large fam-ily would not give him

any anxiety: “I would welcome a big family. My parents have been wonderful examples.”

Being the fifth out of eight children, Anna agrees. Married to Josh last fall, she has no qualms about raising an expand-ing brood, “Growing up in a large fam-ily and Joshua in a

mega-family, you learn so much more. I think a large family helps you prepare for life.” Although many people would see an extensively big fam-ily as bizarre and un-natural, it has helped Josh to grow closer in his faith to God while maintaining the same beliefs that his parents

passed down to him.While Josh’s par-

ents did not initially intend for an enor-mous, ever-budding brood, a miscarriage gave them renewed belief that they should not meddle in God’s plan for the amount

Printing & SustainabilityAs the University

continues to make an effort to be more eco-friendly and reduce the amount of print paper that is wasted each year on campus, we the undergraduate student population are being asked to help as well.

The new “Print Green” program that has been created by the university, along with the help of some student leaders, will include 225 free page prints per undergrad-uate student each se-mester. I believe this amount of free page prints should meet

the printing require-ments for the major-ity of our students on campus. After the initial number of free page prints is reached, charges will take ef-fect for any additional printing. Printers are located in the library as well as in computer labs throughout cam-pus.

This new program will begin Nov. 9, and each student will be issued 150 free print credits for the remain-der of the fall 2009 se-mester.

I hope all of you understand the reason for this and will con-

tinue to help the Uni-versity become more sustainable.

graduate terms, will not be rolled over for each semester.

Printing charges will occur in the li-brary, as well as all public computer labs. Although this includes the engineering print-ers in Buckman and the graphic arts print-ers in Dodds, these fees are being worked out for students us-ing these services for class-related printing.

Faculty and staff who use these public printers, as of now, will also be required to swipe their UNH IDs. “We will be mon-itoring the new print management program very closely over the next year,” says Mangiacapra, “and will examine ways to make enhancements if needed.”

To begin enhancing printing on campus, the university will be adding a new color printer in the library.

According to Di-rector of Academic Computing Alan MacDougall, another technological ad-vancement on campus includes a new Ad-Value machine in the

con’t from page 1

Printing for a Green Campuslibrary. This new ma-chine, which allows students to put money on their student IDs, will be able to utilize credit cards as well as cash.

Students around campus still have mixed reviews about this new program.

“I don’t really think that this is a case of green awareness…this is a case of extor-tion and money,” says Class of 2011 Crimi-nal Justice student Carole McFaddan. Most were against it at first but once the USGA and The Char-ger Bulletin got in-volved, the 225 cred-its per semester was worked out. While reviews are still some-what mixed, many are happy with this solution. It is with-out a doubt that paper is being wasted at a disgusting level, and many agree that the university needs to be doing something.

According to Class of 2013 Music In-dustry student Doug Valeri, “the pay to print allows everyone to benefit; I wouldn't want to see someone printing out a 30-page

book when I'm just trying to print a two-page paper. [It] also allows people to be more economically and environmentally aware.” To which Class of 2012 Crimi-nal Justice student Ross Olivier echoes Valeri’s statement, saying that “people abuse it [printing], so why not set a page limit on what we can print?”

But according to many, it’s actually the professors and deans on campus who need to control their paper use, or stop requiring students to print mul-tiple papers instead of electronically sub-mitting and viewing them.

One UNH em-ployee, who wishes to remain anonymous, made a very good point. “We didn’t read Greasy Rider to then have them handing in printed papers.” If this program is done right, it will be a huge benefit to the campus community.

If it’s done wrong, over 1,200 students will have read Greasy Rider for no reason.

Philosopher John Dewey makes a very valid point.

“If we teach today as we taught yester-day, we rob our chil-dren of tomorrow.”

In case you were wondering, Dew-ey’s methods aren’t how most professors teacher here at UNH.

Instead, you enter class. Sit down. Take notes as your profes-sor talks about what-ever topic that day was for. You’re sur-prised by some things they teach you. You’re bored by some things they teach you. You get up to get a bottle of water; perhaps you reply to a text mes-sage. You get your 14-page paper back, get an A-, smile, and go back to your dorm. If you have another

Letting My Schooling Interfere with My Educationclass later in the day, you rinse and repeat.

The first problem is your professor re-quiring you to print a 14-page paper. You realize that, for a class with 20 students, that is 280 pages? If the class has 3 other sec-tions, that is 1,120 pages of paper. If you have 2 papers a semes-ter, that’s 4,480 pages of paper per year, or almost 3 1/2 bibles. Isn’t math fun!?

Or, perhaps you are chemistry professor Dr. Pauline Schwartz. You assign a paper, but tell students to submit it electroni-cally – either through email or Blackboard. Oh, and better yet, you use (cue Rocky theme song)...

TEGRITY!

Dr. Schwartz has been teaching faculty and staff how to use Blackboard and Teg-rity, and for that I thoroughly thank her. In fact, I hope ev-e r y b o d y who passes by her will thank her. This uni-versity has spent hun-dreds of thousands of dollars on these in-credible Smart Class-rooms, but not every professor is using the equipment. At least one is!

I started my educa-tion here at the Uni-versity of New Haven in August 2006. Now a senior, I have not once used Tegrity. Not.

Once. It’s a shame, it’s a wasted resource, and it’s a huge waste of money if it’s not being

utilized.So to

all of the deans, pro-fessors, and administra-tion read-ing this; I will gladly support the Print Green p r o g r a m on campus.

It’s a great way to help the environment, save money, and pre-vent unnecessary use of equipment, paper, and ink. But in return, I ask that you actually give a damn about my education. Sure, some professors use Tegrity. Good for them: really! For those of you who are deans, I ask you to

lead your department; don’t just employ them. Tell the profes-sors that they have to use Blackboard. Tell them they have to use Tegrity.

Oh, and just us-ing it isn’t enough. It should NOT take 5 minutes (yes, I timed it last semester) to fig-ure out how to play a DVD in class.

If we, as students, are to believe that UNH is a leader in Experiential Educa-tion, that we’re a top university, and that we have some of the most successful pro-grams in the country (none of which, mind you, do I question), then let’s be leaders in the technological age. Like it or not, the world revolves around technology these

days. And if you don’t cherish that fact and teach us, the students, using this equipment, I guarantee the re-tention rate will die down.

Please, somebody, let me use all the fea-tures of our campus technology before I graduate. “I’m too old to use a comput-er” worked in 1990. It doesn’t anymore. I demand more of you. Starting now.

As a student, if your professors refuse to use this amazing technology that most of our classrooms possess, then I hope you won’t give up with your education-al aspirations. In the words of Mark Twain, “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

Demonstrators in London set up a rally on Monday, Oct. 19 to fight against one of the world’s most “un-derstated” crimes: fat-ism. Speakers at this rally demanded jus-tice for those who are deemed “fat” in the public eye. Demon-strators hope that their actions will allow dis-crimination against “fat” people to be on par with discrimina-tion for sex, creed, or religion. Calling someone “fat” as they walked past you, de-nying someone a seat on a rollercoaster be-cause they are over-weight, or having someone buy an addi-tional plane ticket due to size would all be deemed hate crimes. I say: get over your-selves and buy a gym membership.

I’m not trying to be cruel but let’s be honest: everyone has

Fighting Your Worst Enemy: Fatweight issues. If you go around preaching that you are positive-ly 100 % happy with your weight, you are

either delusional or highly naïve. There is not a single person, male or female alike, that is unable to find a fault when it comes to their figure. But most of us do the logical thing: we hit the gym, start a diet, go for a walk, or just accept it as who we are.

That being said, I find it absolutely ri-diculous that people

want to make calling someone “fat” or dis-criminating against “fat” people illegal on the same terms as the first amendment. Don’t get me wrong: no business should re-fuse to hire someone because they are over-weight. You shouldn’t be denied a lease to a new apartment be-cause you’re carrying a little extra around the middle. But be-ing “fat” is not on the same scale as reli-gion or creed. No one can change the color of their skin (Mi-chael Jackson aside); you can change your weight. It is not your fault if you are Mus-lim in an unforgiv-ing country; it is your fault if you are too heavy to participate in certain activities.

I work at Six Flags Great Adventure in the Guest Relations department, and I get

this complaint all the time: I can’t fit in the coaster seats and they won’t let me ride. Speaking frankly? There isn’t anything I can do about it. Would you like to fall out of the seat? Would you like to put the entire cart at risk? Yes, be-ing overweight in this country is a huge issue and I admit it’s some-thing that should be looked into. Obesity is becoming a growing trend and it’s depress-ing. But a person’s inability to ride a roll-ercoaster shouldn’t be something the com-pany takes responsi-bility for. We have test seats for that reason, and normally, some pretty understanding people willing to help you out.

stress how this is not a bash on people over-weight. I have my own issues when it comes to that, just like every other 21-year-old girl on this campus. But I know whose fault that is…I know the only person to blame for the freshman fifteen is me. I don’t go around blaming other people, or trying to get jus-tice against those who say cruel things. Get over it. If you dislike someone calling you names, then stick up for yourself! Try to fix obesity in America. Try passing regula-tions on healthy food for children. Try get-ting businesses to un-derstand the plights of those overweight. But don’t attempt to get legislation passed so that someone’s obesi-ty a hate crime. That’s just silly.

After packing the halls of Bartel’s on Wednesday, fifty lucky students board-ed the bus to Boston

Students Travel to See The Blue Man Group

By GLENN ALTSHULERSTAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––on Saturday Oct. 17 to see the infamous Blue Man Group. After three hours on the bus, UNH students were set loose upon Bean-town in search of din-ner before the show.

As show time neared, students made their way into the Charles Playhouse and found their seats in a theatre covered in strange tubes and decorations.

The first indication that this show would be like no other: stu-dents’ seats came equipped with pon-chos. For the next hour and forty-five minutes students sat on the edges of their seats, erupting with laugh-ter as music, paint and flying marshmallows filled the theatre. The combination of mu-sical performance, unique stunts, humor and audience partici-pation provided a tru-ly unique and enjoy-able experience.

In a finale like no other, students helped

unfurl dozens of rolls of toilet paper, en-gulfing the audience as viewers worked to push it all onto the stage. Students paused outside the theatre to get their pictures taken with the Blue Men be-fore boarding the bus for the long trip home. Arriving back at UNH just before 3 in the morning, the excite-ment among students was still evident, even if interspersed be-tween yawns and nod-ding heads.

In Law Abiding Citizen, the main character Clyde Shel-ton, played by Gerard Butler, is a brilliant planner and inven-tor. One night, two robbers invade his Philadelphia home and brutally murder his wife and daugh-ter in front of him. When the killers are caught, Assistant De-fense Attorney Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) makes a deal with one of the killers to testify against his partner for a short term prison sentence and to give his partner the death penalty. While Clyde doesn't want the attor-ney to make the deal,

Many might have found the trailer fa-miliar, and that is be-cause the film is based on Maurice Sendak’s children book of the same name. Upon watching the trailer for the first time I was struck with a sense of nostalgia, and found myself looking for the ten sentence long book in stores.

The film attracts viewers of all gen-erations. Both young and old filled the vel-vet padded seats. And I must admit, like

Nick does it anyway. Ten years after the crimes committed, prior to the death pen-alty administration, the convicted killer is murdered and Clyde is arrested.

Clyde Shelton is jailed and he warns Nick that he must fix the broken justice sys-tem that failed him and his family or else anyone connected to the case will soon die.

thugs got the better of him and wounded his pride. The director has seemingly written a cousin to Anthony Hopkin’s Hannibal Lecter - a cool and collected psychopath incapable of human feelings.

To give it some credit, the movie doesn't go too out of its way to stoke audi-ence's blood lust.

The movie’s theme and meaning might fly over the heads of younger kids, but nonetheless, they seem to enjoy it. There are enough scenes that will keep the children excited throughout the film.

Where The Wild Things Are is truly a great experience. It will have you smil-ing and laughing, and possibly even a little teary eyed. It will take you on an adventure through your own childhood, and will make you explore the wildness in all of us, and even hint at the reasoning behind it. The beloved story of Max and his “Wild Things” gets a B+ in my book.

The Red Sox sent back out their closer Jona-than Papelbon to the mound to finish off the game in the top of the ninth. The Angels had the bottom of the order to bat, which included Maicer Iztu-ris, Gary Matthews, and Aybar. Macier and Matthews both went down on strikes. Many of the Red Sox players and fans were already having their minds set on the next game. Papelbon had a streak of 26 scoreless innings under his belt, yet he lost his touch

There have been many critics saying that the Red Sox are overrated and this series win showed the weakness of the team. Poor pitching and weak bats were the main factors that people point out in the series lost. The divi-sion series was just about the same, with the exception of Clay Bucholz who pitched the best out of Lester and Beckett. With the season over, it leaves time to think about the 2010 season, for the Red Sox brass to come up for a game plan. Which play-ers will resign, which players will be kept, and which players will be traded.

Beyoncé Delays Amid Muslim Criticism

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – R&B star Beyonce Knowles has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia, the event's organizer said Monday, follow-ing accusations by Islamic conservatives that the show would be immoral.

Knowles, known for her provocative clothes and chore-ography, had been scheduled to perform at a Kuala Lumpur stadium Oct. 25. The show "has been post-poned to a future date to be announced shortly," Malaysian entertainment compa-ny Marctensia said in a statement.

"The postponement

is solely (the) deci-sion of the artist and has nothing to do with other external rea-sons," the statement said.

Knowles also can-celed a planned per-formance in Malaysia in 2007 following pro-test threats by the op-position Islamic party. At the time, her talent agency said the show was called off due to a scheduling conflict.

Instead, Knowles went to Indonesia, also a largely Muslim country, which has less stringent rules about how perform-ers should dress and behave. Female artists at Malaysian concerts are required by gov-ernment rules to cover up from the shoul-ders to knees, with no cleavage showing.

Last month, Marc-tensia addressed con-cerns that Knowles might wear inappro-priate outfits, saying "all parties have come to an amicable under-standing" about stage costumes.

Other female pop stars such as Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have per-formed in Malaysia despite similar protest threats by conserva-tive Muslims. Both singers wore clothes that revealed little skin.

Some entertain-ment industry officials say the strict regula-tions and frequent controversies have discouraged many international artists from visiting Malay-sia.

HOW AWESOME WAS THE LONG WEEKEND! To me, it felt even longer because after that lovely mini vacay I only had like 2 classes between Wednesday and Thursday of class: and then another weekend happened! I stand firm in the fact that I can speak for most of, if not all of us, when I say the long weekend and extra free time were desperately needed.

I LOVE HOCKEY AND IT’S TIME FOR HOCKEY! Go Rangers, and sorry to say, but, Go Yale. Yup, I’m a Yale hockey fan, but more importantly, I’m a Charger’s hockey fan! Go Yankees, while we’re on the topic of …en-couragement. I happened to see the last couple of innings of the LAA game the other day and PHEW! That was quite a game, a doozy, if you will!

In other news, did anyone else notice that it got FREEZING with like ONE day’s notice??!! On the one hand, I’m stoked that it is finally cold enough to wear cute winter boots and sweaters, and that means that snow is coming and I love snow, and that means ski season and I love skiing, and that means Christmas and I love Santa----WAIT…I see no bad side to this. I’M EXCITED! :D

P.S.: ummm….it’s MID-October and it’s already snowing!!!!!! (exhibit A: Pats/Tenn NFL game yesterday….you could see NO green on the field whatsoever!)

As soon as I think the black cloud has passed, the midterm effect is done and over with, something else starts to plague my back burner! 2010 registra-tion! I feel like I haven’t even been at school long enough to think about next semester yet! Geez! Give me a chance to breathe, will ya?! I haven’t even mustered up enough motivation to deal with that yet. Currently all registration e-mails are sitting patiently in my inbox, and I’m FINE with that! :D

Already being sleep deprived and immune deficient due to the lovely midterm episode, along with the change of weather, sickness has sky-rocketed!

I take all of the needed precautions: flu shot, hand sanitizer permanently attached to my hip, and the attempt of more sleep, but I still am defeated!

Conclusion: campus, not just ours, but college campus’ in general, will be an incubator for the flu of the swine this winter. Everyone stock up on soup and Tylenol PM!

Alderden said the children were still with the parents Sun-day morning, and child protective ser-vices had been con-tacted to investigate the children's well-being.

The sheriff initial-ly said there was no reason to believe the incident was a hoax. Authorities ques-tioned the Heenes again after Falcon turned to his dad dur-

ing a CNN interview Thursday night and said what sounded like "you said we did this for a show" when asked why he didn't come out of his hiding place.

Once the device landed, sheriff's of-ficials discovered it was made with plastic tarps taped together and covered with alu-minum foil, with a utility box made of a very thin piece of ply-wood, cardboard on the side, held together with string and duct tape. Using the true dimensions, it was de-termined it could not have launched with the boy inside.
