Ah, it’s finally here-Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t made plans for you and your sweetheart yet, you’re running out of time. Lucky for you, a movie date has remained a tried and true V-Day date and the theaters will be packed with worthwhile options right in time for the big day. Let’s take a min-ute to run through all your options so that you choose the best movie match for you and your valentine this year.

First, you’ve got to de-cide if you want to risk seeing a brand new re-lease or if you want to give a semi-old movie a chance. Maybe you’ll use this opportunity to finally see that Oscar-contender you’ve been dying to see. Early-year releases like The Reader, Gran Torino,

Slumdog Millionaire, and The Wrestler are certainly viable options if you want to impress your date with

your award-knowledgeable style.

For the more main-stream folks, you have

way more to choose from. New releases this weekend alone offer quite a variety of options. The anticipated chick flick Confessions of a Shopaholic will be sure to attract some crowds. Star-ring Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), this story of a shopaholic-turned-frugal-career woman is sure to be filled to the brim with de-signer labels, hunky guys, and maxed-out credit cards. This movie is sure to be at least entertaining, but boyfriends might want to seek out other, more tol-erable, options.

The release that is more likely to pique male in-terest is Friday the 13th. This remake of the 1980s classic slasher series is the best option for moviegoers looking to take the horror route; its familiar premise offers a much safer choice as opposed to the other horror flicks out in theaters

The Adult Circus Comes to UNH

WEST HAVEN—On Satur-day, Feb. 7 at 9 p.m., Dodds Theater quickly filled with about 120 students to wit-ness The Adult Circus, made up of Chris Chelko and Michael DuBois.

Performing at over 80 colleges and universities, dozens of organizations and other exclusive ven-ues, and for celebrities such as Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Jay Leno, and Conan O'Brien (just to name a few), this duo of perform-

ers amazed the UNH audi-ence Saturday night. Self-

dubbed “the variety show for adults and gifted chil-

dren,” The Adult Circus was comprised of music, stunts, magic, juggling, mind reading, balancing, and jumping on glass.

Chelko and DuBois have been learning magic and juggling since they were kids, and when they began attending college together they decided to team up and create a show that would completely overhaul variety entertain-ment. Ever since their per-formance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Adult Circus has been in

Aw, shucks. Punxsutawney saw his shadow and we have six more weeks of winter—or do we? This weekend’s weather was absolutely gorgeous! I don’t think anyone expected to have such clear skies ameliorated by warm temperatures. Besides the melting snow causing mud, it was great to be able to walk outside in a light jacket rather than be cooped up in the dorms.

Love is in the air, can’t you feel it? If you can feel it then you might need to make some reality adjustments. Anyways, happy Valentine’s Day to those who celebrate it and happy anti-Valentine’s Day to those who loathe it. By the way, anyone want to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry’s with me while watch-ing sappy mov-ies?

President Kaplan made an appearance at the USGA meet-ing to touch base with students. It’s nice to know that our opinions are valued.

Get ready to drain your bank ac-count to pay your superfluous $250 room deposit fee. Oh and don’t think that it guarantees you housing; as displayed last year, you can be denied housing even if you pay it. Have fun! I’m sure all the seniors are happy to be done with that whole process.

This has been complained about for years. Literally, years. I wrote it in my first year’s Battery. Zack Rosen, Assistant Editor of the Charger Bulle-tin, wrote an editorial on it a few years ago. I’ve since put it in my Battery several times. We deserve access to our mail on the weekend. Stop lock-ing the mail room so early at night

and make sure it’s unlocked on the weekends. It’s ab-

solutely ridiculous that we cannot get

in to check our mailboxes just because it’s a weekend or just because it’s past 9 at night. Im-portant, time-essential things come in the mail and some-one shouldn’t be denied ac-cess to them on the weekend.

Zack’s Wacky StacKYour place to find the oddest stories in mainstream news.

By Zack Rosen

AFGHANISTAN—Twenty-one police officers are dead and 20 officials are in-jured after a suicide bomber disguised as a policeman blew up explosives in a police training center, offi-cials reported.

The bomber walked into the po-lice training center dressed in police

Pseudo-Police Officer Kills 21uniform. The Interior Ministry recognized this to be a common Taliban method used in many other sophis-ticated attacks.

According to the Associated Press, the Taliban takes full re-sponsibility for this incident. Over the phone, one of the group’s spokesmen said that the Taliban is accountable for the event, and they will continue to attack Afghan government

officials and foreign troops.

Juma Gul Himat, the provincial police chief, said that in addi-tion to the deaths and injuries, the police fa-cility was damaged in the explosion.

Taliban activity has been increasing since the group’s defeat in 2001, following a U.S. invasion. The activity is especially prominent in southern Afghanistan, where the Taliban focuses

on fighting against the government and international military troops.

President Barack Obama plans to send 30,000 additional troops to Afghani-stan, raising the num-ber of foreign troops stationed there to 100,000. He and his administration hope to diminish Taliban power and strengthen Afghan government.

Conn. judge faces disciplinary hearing in DUI case

HARTFORD–Connecticut's Judicial Review Council is holding a public hearing as it decides whether to discipline a state judge who was ar-rested on a drunken driving charge.

The hearing in the case of Superior Court Judge E. Curtissa Cofield is set for Monday morning at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

The council is pursuing misconduct charges against Cofield, who was arrested in October after her car struck a state police cruiser in Glastonbury.

Cofield was caught on videotape using ra-cially charged language while arguing with troopers at the police station.

Cofield later apologized during a court ap-pearance and was accepted in the state's alcohol education program. The drunken driving charge will be dismissed if she successfully completes the program.

A-Rod’s response to steroids report will be key

NEW YORK–Alex Rodriguez faces a deci-sion far more important to his career than de-ciding where to sign, whether to accept a trade or if and when to opt out of his contract.

How A-Rod responds to a report that he tested positive for steroids in 2003 will likely frame his pursuit of the career home run record and could define his playing days in the view of fans and Hall of Fame voters.

Does he confess to taking performance-en-hancers, as Andy Pettitte did? Does he deny, as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have? Does he all but confess, the route chosen by Jason Giambi? Does he refuse to discuss his past, as Mark McGwire did before a congressional committee?

He’s already been labeled as “A-Fraud” in former Yankees manager Joe Torre’s new book and “A-Roid” in the New York tabloids.

“When it comes to a key situation, he can’t get himself to concern himself with getting the job done, instead of how it looks,” Torre wrote.

He was referring to Rodriguez’s play on the field, but it also applies to how A-Rod handles off-the-field news in his turbulent life.

Rodriguez has not responded publicly since Sports Illustrated reported on its Web site Sat-urday that he is on a list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003 during baseball’s con-fidential survey testing, which wasn’t subject to discipline. SI.com said he tested positive for Primobolan and testosterone.

“Alex has been out of the country. I expect him back later today and want to confer with my client before saying anything,” agent Scott Boras said Sunday afternoon.

Osama Rejected For Dream Job

S Y D N E Y – A dream job looking af-ter a tropical island in Australia has attracted over 11,000 applicants -- including Osama bin Laden who failed to make the shortlist.

A spokeswoman for Tourism Queensland said the group had received over 11,000 video applications since advertising the A$150,000 ($96,000) "best job in the world" as caretaker of Hamil-ton Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

One of the applica-tions was a 30-second prank video showing the world's most want-ed man, with nonsen-

sical sounds dubbed over his real voice.

Using subtitles, bin Laden argues his case for the six-month contract, describing himself as "outgo-ing," "familiar with sandy areas" and ex-perienced with "large scale event coordina-tion."

He lists his inter-ests as arts, crafts and renovating.

Renovating … is an interest!?

Prisoner Found As Junk In Judge’s Trunk

MOUNT CLEM-ENS, Mich. –A Mich-igan judge says he's learned a lesson about locking his car after a

16-year-old prisoner who escaped from a courthouse cell was found hiding in the vehicle's trunk.

The Macomb Daily reports the teen had vanished Friday after appearing in juvenile court in Mount Cle-mens on a probation violation.

Sheriff's deputies searched for about an hour until a security officer became suspi-cious when he saw a picture that had fallen to the ground outside judge's car.

A deputy checked the car and found the boy in the trunk.

"It is being con-tained, and there is no evidence of a fish kill or harm to water fowl," Carson said in an e-mail.

A RECSPORTS PHOTORECSports teams compete in an intramural flag football game.

By KAT WILBERDINGRECSPORTS

–––––––––––––––––

WEST HAVEN—Every week I, on be-half of the RECSports program, write an ar-ticle about what’s go-ing on in RECSports and in RECSports only. Yet the here at the Beckerman Rec-reation Center there are a variety of other programs and activi-ties offered by Cam-pus Recreation. So this week I’d like to take the opportunity to enlighten the UNH community on the new programs offered and the updates made on original programs.

Campus Rec: More Than Just RECSportsCampus Recreation

has always provided group fitness classes, but due to popular-ity the number and types of classes have increased over the se-mesters. Debuting this semester, “Dance and Define” is offered on Monday and Wednes-day nights from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Taught by Wes this class defines your body through dance and is already the hottest class of-fered in the Group X family. Group X…what is that? Group X is the new univer-sal name for all the regular fitness classes offered at the Becker-man Recreation Center

including AbSolution, Bootcamp, Zumba, Booty Call, Spin, Body Blitz and more. Note, however, that the Group X classes should not be con-fused with the instruc-tional programs such as Ballroom Dancing, Capoeira, etc. that students had the op-portunity of sampling during Demo Week (Feb. 2–Feb. 6). The instructional classes are another program offered at the Becker-man Recreation Cen-ter, and added to the set of existing classes offered this semester comes Safety Train-ing, which includes various CPR classes.

On top of all of the fitness and instruc-tional classes, the Spring Weight Loss Challenge is back this semester and is better than ever. This chal-lenge is a competition to lose the most weight by percentage. Please understand that it is unhealthy to starve yourself or be abu-sive to your body in order to lose weight. This program is only designed to motivate you to live a healthy lifestyle and reach a healthier physical state. To that effect the Spring Weight Loss Challenge calls for teams of two to six people who exer-

cise and participate in weekly weigh-ins to mark their progress. Also participants will be offered an educa-tional class (Weight Loss 101) on how to lose weight safely and while staying healthy. There is even more of-fered and provided in this year’s challenge, so I hope you had the opportunity to sign up. If not, look for this program next spring.

If the class-style fitness isn’t for you then check out our new personal train-ing program. Campus Recreation now has four certified personal trainers who are avail-able for either a fit-

ness assessment or an actual training ses-sion. For more infor-mation please check out our website www.newhaven.edu/char-gerrec and look under the fitness and well-ness section for more details. As always we urge everyone to check out the full website for all program, activity, and facility informa-tion.

Now that you know what a little bit more about what else Cam-pus Recreation has to offer outside of REC-Sports, we encourage everyone to come out and enjoy all the fun!

attended who did not have a good time. Two thumbs up to SCOPE for finding this enter-tainment and for doing such an outstanding job! For more infor-mation on Chelko and DuBois and The Adult Circus, check them out online at www.TheAdultCircus.com.

WEST HAVEN—What do you get when you mix a few parts Seann William Scott (American Pie) with equal parts Paul Rudd (Knocked Up), Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Elizabeth Banks? Why, you get Judd Apatow’s Role Models, of course! SCOPE treated UNH to a screening of the movie last weekend, Friday, Feb. 6 and Sunday, Feb. 7.

law, they are given the option to partake in a Big Brother program–Sturdy Wings.

Each given a boy to look after and hang out with, it takes a while for common interests to be found. While Wheeler’s kid, Ronnie, wants nothing to do with him except piss him off and cause a ruckus, Danny’s kid, Augie, is obsessed with live-action role-playing games known as LAIRE. But when Danny unintention-ally gets Augie kicked out of the game and Wheeler leaves Ron-nie roaming around at a party, the two need to make amends to the kids and show them

what is more impor-tant: their time with Sturdy Wings, or their time with the boys.

Although I’ve seen much better, I walked into the movie ex-pecting something much worse. For overall movie qual-ity it was average, but for its specific “dumb humor” subcategory it certainly was better than expected. If you liked The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Step Broth-ers, chances are you’ll enjoy Role Models. It’s funny, aimed for college-aged audi-ences, and has some funny (though mi-nor) cameos. Overall, I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Have you ever seen Finding Nemo? Do you remember when Dorothy and Marlin encounter an alien-like fish in the deep abyss of the ocean? Well this predator is known as the angler-fish (Melanocetus johnsoni) and in re-ality they live up to 3000 feet deep in the ocean where pressure is extremely high and where it is impenetra-ble to light.

This fish can grow up to 12 centimeters long and their colors range from gray to dark brown to black. Like in Finding Nemo, the anglerfish holds a biolumines-cent appendage that is a continuation of its spine. The “esca”

Animal Awareness Tip: Anglerfish

is located just over its head and the purpose of this blue-greenish light bulb is to lure prey. This is similar to angling where a fisherman attaches a worm or any other ob-ject to a hook to draw in fish.

The anglerfish is pretty pliable where it can extend its mouth and ingest prey up to twice its size. This ad-aptation allows it to store food when it is scarce during certain times of the year. An-other interesting fact is that only females exhibit all the char-acteristics mentioned. Males are actually smaller compared to the females and their features are a lot dif-ferent.

At a mature age, the male’s digestive system begins to fail making it impossible

for him to feed on his own. The male acts as a parasite during this time and he tries to find a suitable female to attach to. When one is found up to six males hook their teeth onto the female’s body and release an enzyme that cause them to fuse together. Eventu-ally, the male’s blood-stream adheres to the female’s and its testes remain active.

When a female is ready to spawn she will lay a large amount of eggs in a gelatinous material up to three feet wide and thirty feet long. Larvae are then released once the eggs hatch and they swim up to the surface to feed on plankton. When they mature, they will swim back into the deep ocean.

This past week the USGA set up a meet-ing of students who were interested in helping the university go green. The group met on Feb. 2 and I was very pleased with the number of stu-dents who turned out.

At the very end of last semester, I sent an e-mail out to all un-dergraduate students asking if they were interested in helping the university with

some of their ideas. I received e-mails back from over 60 inter-ested students. I was extremely impressed.

At the meeting Ju-lia Parker, the Vice President of Facili-ties, spoke about the ideas and programs the university is tak-ing on. Lisa Saverese also spoke about the process to formally create a club on cam-pus. Elections for of-ficers of the club have

been taking place via e-mail over the past week and we are hope-ful that within the next weeks we will have a green club on campus. So keep an eye out!

The company also said it would investi-gate the incident and "put in place manage-ment practices that minimize the poten-tial for future occur-rences."

State and federal EPA response teams, as well as teams from Caterpillar, were working with local or-ganizations to contain the spill and clean the area, Carson said.

Federal EPA spokeswoman Ginny Narsett said the clean-up will take at least a few days.

The federal agen-cy said the oil waste leaked when a pump

failed on a 40,000-gal-lon open-air holding tank.

The Coast Guard was surrounding the contaminated water with a floating wall, Mitchell said. He said two vacuum trucks would suck up the sludge.

The Joliet Police Department said it hadn't ordered evacu-ations in the area.

You’re allergic to onions. You eat a sal-ad that you know has red onion in it. You’re an idiot.

You steal a Black-berry Curve from the local Verizon store. But you forgot to first check to see if there were cameras in the store. You’re an idiot.

You’re a doctor: a teenager comes to you and gives birth to a baby. You put the baby in a plastic bag and into the garbage. You’re (A) an idiot, (B) a murderer, (C) losing your license.

This past Friday, a Miami doctor had his license revoked when a teenager, who had

originally planned to abort, gave birth to a baby which was then

placed into a plastic bag by clinic staffers.

Although the doc-tor wasn’t present at the time, the Florida Medical Board up-held Department of Health allegations that

Pierre Jean-Jacques Renelique falsified medical records, un-ethically delegated tasks to unlicensed staffers, and commit-ted malpractice. The state attorney’s office confirmed that a fetus born alive cannot be put to death even if its mother intended to have an abortion.

Regardless of con-sequences, cases like this continue to oc-cur. What I want to know is at what point did that doctor say to himself, “Hey, I’m going to tell others who aren’t qualified what to do.” Certain-ly he must have not only known this was

ethically wrong, but dangerous? If he knew these things, he’s an idiot. If he didn’t, he’s incompetent. Either way, he should be locked up.

I have nothing against someone who decides to get an abortion. Sometimes, it needs to be done, and sometimes the mother can’t handle to go through a preg-nancy for adoption. Of course, she should absolutely make sure that she doesn’t want to go through with the pregnancy first, but to be quite frank–the government has no place in church, mar-riage, or a woman’s

vagina.That said, this isn’t

a pro-choice versus anti-abortion thing here. This is a “wow, my job actually af-fects the health and well-being of human-ity” thing. People who have that much control over another human’s life should not only be going through years and years of medical school, but should get more punishment than just losing their freak-ing license. Send them and their damn Audi to jail.

In retrospect, I’ll take the Audi.

Granted, the baby’s mother sued Renel-ique, the clinic, and

its staff last month for damages. The mother stated in the suit that “she wit-nessed the murder of her daughter [and…] sustained severe emo-tional distress, shock, and psychic trauma which have resulted in discernible bodily injury.”

The mother claims that she watched in horror as her baby writhed with her chest rising and falling as she breathed. Later, Renelique wrote in doctor clinic records that the mother under-went a simple abor-tion.

(D) all of the above.

You’re a Pathetic Excuse for Human Existence

Recently there have been massive ice storms in Ken-tucky and Arkansas that have left thou-sands of people in the dark with no power, almost impossible conditions, and little food.

During tragedies such as this one, in comes the Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency (FEMA). FEMA’s main role is to pro-vide relief so that the citizens of this coun-try feel safe from nat-ural disasters and var-ious emergencies. It would seem, though, that FEMA does not think before it acts. In a large act of heroism, it supplied emergency food packets to citi-

Proof That the Federal Government Does Not

Read the Newszens all over the two states. Contained in these packets were small one-ounce packs of peanut but-ter…you see where this is going? That very peanut butter was RECALLED be-fore it was sent out and FEMA did not notice until it was dis-tributed and some of it consumed. Now I know a few Criminal Justice and Fire Sci-ence majors who want to work for FEMA and after a blunder like this I think that they are NEEDED. To not notice something like that could have, and may still, cause a massive outbreak of salmonella.

Wow, FEMA for the win right?

Well it would seem that no one noticed this small issue until it was too late, and I know all of our Crimi-nal Justice teachers here drive us to notice things. So the next time someone says that they need a job in this field I would like you to think about taking the one of the person who decided it would be a good idea to send peanut butter. I mean seriously, the federal government needs to start paying attention before people start to die from their negli-gence. Only so much incompetence can be taken before the peo-ple take action.

Big Brother is Watching Me Drink Martinis?

Every once in a while a situation oc-curs that reminds me of just how thin our privacy bubbles are as Americans. Not only does the government have the ability to wiretap our phones or access info from our computers, but now it can track where we like to party.

That’s right. The Utah State Senate is-sued a proposal to scan the IDs of every person, which would then be entered into a database, according to ABC News. This information would be collected by every bar in the state and then given to law enforce-ment officials.

The governor of Utah has openly stat-ed that he does not like this proposal at all. However, it’s the fact that it’s simply being put on the table that really irks me. How much of our per-sonal information can

the government ac-cess? Truly, it could easily find our where-abouts without need-ing records from the bars we hop between. Facebook already

gives out our personal information to adver-tisers so that we can see the ads they want us to see. You’ve got to wonder how much effort it takes for the government to really access information about where we like to drink with friends.

My roommate made a funny com-ment the other day as

we were filling out our petitions for gradu-ation: “The thing I learned the most in college was my social security number.”

I laughed at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was true. Our social secu-rity numbers are ev-erywhere around this campus.

On a small basis, is this issue really a big deal? No, absolutely not. Who cares if Ya-hoo! tells me where I should look for that new handbag judg-ing from the places I’ve shopped before? I sure don’t. However, when it becomes a large-scale operation (especially one that involves the govern-ment), I get a little suspicious. I guess I should just be thankful that I’m not a trouble-maker. That way, the government shouldn’t really care what bars I visit.

happened to get lucky in his life and receive phenomenal swim-ming genes. The man never asked to be a role model and, when he leaves the Olym-

Olympic games. He quickly became the highlighted player on the American team and was watched, ad-mired, and revered by the American people. He was our summer poster child and ev-eryone seemed to love him.

Then last week, everything changed. Photos of Phelps smoking pot at a sum-mer party surfaced and the love we had shared for him quick-ly vanished. He began to lose sponsorships, was banned from cer-tain swimming events and was denied his grant money from the American Swimming Association. While all of these things are cer-tainly important, most are more symbolic and have caused Phelps to reconsider swimming in the 2010 Olympic games.

I am sick of hearing about celebrities be-ing plastered all over the news for problems that deserve to stay in their own homes. Yes, Phelps smoked pot at a party. Yes, he

If any normal person in today’s society was caught smoking pot at 22, they would prob-ably receive a slap on the wrist, some com-munity service hours, and a strong talking to from their parents.

Now I am not say-ing that celebrities do not deserved to get punished for their ac-tions. Everyone de-serves punishment for breaking the law and I am a stern supporter of fair treatment. But when Jane Doe at the University of New Haven gets a DUI, no one else hears about it but her and her fam-ily. It is kept under wraps because that is the “polite” thing to do. Where does be-ing “polite” come into play for celebrities like Michael Phelps and others who have minor mishaps?

Some may argue that Michael Phelps is a role model and, as such, should have been more respon-sible. In ways I agree, but mostly, I see Mi-chael Phelps as a 22-year-old man who

pic games, he just wants to be a normal human being again. Why can’t Americans just allow the man to have his good days and his bad pot-filled ones? Why do Ameri-cans need to butt into everyone else’s busi-ness?

In the long run, it really comes down to one thing: no one re-ally cares that Michael Phelps was smoking pot. Or that Nicole Ritchie had a DUI. Or that Britney Spears did, well, whatev-er Britney is doing this month. When it comes to celebrities, Americans just en-joy being nosy. They enjoy hearing about other people’s mis-takes although they sure would not enjoy being in the same situ-ation. So, really, let Michael Phelps face his marijuana problem on his own and flip to another section of the newspaper.

Liam Neeson brings the suspense in Taken.AN AP/20TH CENTURY FOX/STEPHANIE BRANCHU PHOTO

WEST HAVEN—Saturday night, Feb. 7 the Office of Student Activities brought students off cam-pus for a night at the movies. Taken is an action-packed thriller starring Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace. Neeson plays the roll of Bryan Mills, a for-mer spy out to rescue his daughter no mat-ter the cost.

In the movie, Neeson gives up his career to move close to his estranged daughter Kim (Grace). During a trip to Paris to fol-low U2 on their Eu-ropean concert tour, Grace is kidnapped. After discovering that the culprits are Albanian slave trad-ers, Neeson launches a mission to find and punish the people re-sponsible and thus get his daughter back safely.

Destroying every-thing and everyone who stands in his way,

Weekend Trip to the Movies

Neeson takes on the city of Paris and the scum that inhabit it.

This movie is a wonderful thriller and keeps the audience interested until the fi-nal scene. Although it isn’t receiving Oscar buzz, it is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Critiqued by many online as a “waste of time” and “predict-able,” Taken never-theless did not disap-point me. I thoroughly enjoy Liam Neeson’s work and while this film can’t be consid-ered a film master-piece, it was great to be whisked away from reality for a little while.

When all is said and done, Taken is truly action-packed with fight sequences and Liam Neeson does a wonderful job portraying a father hell bent on rescuing his daughter even if he has to “tear down the Eiffel Tower.”

Thanks to the Of-fice of Student Activi-ties for planning such a great trip!

like My Bloody Val-entine and The Unin-vited.

If horror isn’t your cup of tea, check out the thriller genre.

Theaters Offer Variety ofMovie Options this V-Day

Clive Owen’s latest, The International, opens up on Friday and is bound to be packed full of sus-pense. Or you could go see Liam Neeson’s action-packed film, Taken. Either movie will offer you and your date some V-Day excitement.

While it makes the most sense to take your date to see a new release, be sure not to overlook movies that opened last weekend. The biggest Valen-tine’s Day date movie this year is sure to be the dating-guide-turned-movie He’s Just Not That Into You.

This self-help book adaptation offers an interesting look at relationships of all

shapes and sizes. The movie examines the relationship prob-lems faced by seem-ingly-eternal single girls (Gigi, played by Ginnifer Goodwin),

s e e m i n g l y - h a p p y married women (Ja-nine, played by Jen-nifer Connelly), girls that can’t get men to commit (Anna, played by Scarlett Johans-son, and Beth, played by Jennifer Aniston), and the dating-chal-lenged (Mary, played by Drew Barrymore). For every woman, there is a man of course. These men range from the all-knowing womanizer (Alex, played by Jus-tin Long), the cheating husband (Ben, played by Bradley Cooper), the boyfriend who doesn’t want to get married (Neil, played by Ben Affleck), and the reliable guy who is always just a friend (Conor, played by Kevin Connelly).

With a phenom-enal cast, the movie doesn’t fall short in its acting. Each storyline garners a reasonable amount of sympathy from the audience and

leaves its curiosity on high alert the whole way through. The most lovable charac-ter is Gigi who seems endlessly lost in her pathetic confusion about men.

While the charac-ters are interesting, the plot seems to lack a certain amount of finesse. Overall, the movie plays out more like a series of stories that don’t fit together than a cohesive set of plotlines that are all geared toward the same message. The transitions between stories often come at awkward times, pull-ing your attention away too fast for you to understand what just happened in the first story. Despite its flaws, the film offers

an interesting look at relationships for both men and women and should not be ig-nored as a practical Valentine’s Day date movie.

A variety of other options was also re-leased last weekend including the goofball sequel, The Pink Pan-ther 2, the sci-fi thrill-er Push, and the love-able stop-animation movie Coraline.

With such an as-sortment of movies playing this Valen-tine’s Day, every cou-ple will surely be able to find a suitable flick. Be sure to consider all your options so you aren’t left regretting your choice. Picking the right date movie is always a delicate de-cision, but the frailty of the situation is only worsened when it is Valentine’s Day. Be wise or you just may end up dateless by the end of the night.

Bonds Pleads Not Guilty

By JOHN OKOSPORTS WRITER

–––––––––––––––––

SAN FRANCISCO—Baseball slugger Bar-ry Bonds pleaded not guilty Thursday, Feb.

AN AP Photo/Jeff ChiuFormer SF Giants player Barry Bonds, right, leaves courthouse.5 on charges that he lied in front of a grand jury. This was the third time that Bonds has pleaded not guilty on charges that he lied about taking steroids. Bonds said that if he did take steroids it was unknowingly.

Baseball’s all-time home run leader was originally indicted in

November of 2007, but the Govern-ment revised charges against Bonds two times to fix legal tech-nicalities. Bonds now faces up to 10 counts of making false state-

ments to a grand jury that he did not take steroids.

Bonds case is now scheduled to take place on Mar. 2. If Bonds is convicted, he could face up to two years in prison.

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston unveiled hundreds of

documents that in-cluded positive drug tests that were linked back to Barry Bonds. The documents also included a transcript of Bonds and his per-sonal trainer about

injecting the slugger with steroids.

The government has also released doc-uments that Bonds tested positive for ste-roids in both 2000 and 2001. It has also been said that Bonds used a once-undetectable de-signer drug.

CHARGER PRESS RLEASE–––––––––––––––––

to broaden their com-munity engagement efforts, the Chargers have decided to take their NGWSD clinics on the road. At each of the outreach clinics, UNH student-athletes and coaches will teach skills in a variety of sports including bas-ketball, soccer and vol-leyball. They will also be handing out free tickets to the Chargers NGWSD basketball doubleheader on Sat-urday, February 14 at

Charger Gymnasium. The Chargers men’s and women’s basket-ball teams host Frank-lin Pierce starting at 2 p.m. that Saturday.

For information about UNH’s NG-WSD Outreach Sports Clinics, or for any of UNH’s community engagement projects, please contact Associ-ate Director of Athlet-ics Susan Zawacki by calling (203) 932-7357 or e-mail [email protected].

WEST HAVEN—On Saturday, Feb. 14 the University of New Haven will be joining more than 1,250 other schools by hosting its 2009 “Pink Zone” event. UNH’s “Pink Zone” efforts center around the Chargers basketball double-header on Valentine’s Day but also includes a variety of activities on campus and in the community to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer.

As part of the “Pink Zone” initiative, all fans are encour-aged to wear pink to the Chargers North-east-10 Conference doubleheader against Franklin Pierce Uni-versity in support of breast cancer aware-ness. The women’s game starts at 2 p.m. and the men’s game follows at 4 p.m. All fundraising proceeds will go to support the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund and the Hospital of Saint Ra-phael's Father Mi-chael J. McGivney Center for Cancer Care. The UNH women’s basketball team will wear pink shoelaces and warm-up shirts to show their support. There will also be pink-themed giveaways for fans in attendance.

The “Pink Zone” efforts to fight breast cancer aren't limited to just the games. A full week of aware-ness will take place in Bartels Hall on the main UNH cam-pus leading up to

the game. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to stop by the student center lobby from Feb. 9-13 and make a donation by either signing a “Pink Zone” Naming Ribbon or purchas-ing a UNH “Pink Zone” t-shirt with a minimum donation of $5. The “Pink Zone” Naming Ribbons will also be available for purchase in a number of local businesses for $1. They will be displayed around Charger Gymnasium on Feb. 14 to create a sea of pink. In ad-dition to “Pink Zone” Naming Ribbons and “Pink Zone” t-shirts, Pink Crocs will be available for purchase with a minimum do-nation of $5 in the lobby of Bartels and at the game.

For the second year, UNH's fraterni-ties and sororities are challenging one an-other in a “Be Bold, Go Bald!” fundrais-ing initiative where students, faculty and staff can support the fight against breast cancer by shaving their heads to help raise money.

The Women’s Bas-ketball Coaches As-sociation (WBCA) began the WBCA “Pink Zone,” former-ly known as “Think Pink,” in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast cancer aware-ness in women's bas-ketball, on college campuses and in com-munities. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year a suc-cess. In 2008, more

than 1,200 teams and organizations partici-pated, reaching more than 830,000 fans and raising more than $930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research. More infor-mation on the WB-CA’s “Pink Zone” can be found at www.wbca.org.

The NCAA has also joined the WBCA “Pink Zone” initiative by implementing the “Calling for a Cure” campaign where all NCAA women's bas-ketball officials blew a pink whistle Feb. 8-17, 2008. Addition-ally, officials were encouraged to make a donation to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. The NCAA raised $25,000 during its 2008 “Calling for a Cure” campaign. NCAA women’s bas-ketball officials will once again be “Call-ing for a Cure” this season.

The “Pink Zone” initiative is part of the UNH Department of Athletics broader community engage-ment efforts, which seeks to help the sur-rounding towns and community organiza-tions while provid-ing opportunities for student-athletes and coaches to give back to their communities. For information about UNH’s “Pink Zone” Day on Feb. 14, or for any of UNH’s com-munity engagement projects, please con-tact Associate Direc-tor of Athletics Susan Zawacki by calling (203) 932-7357 or e-mail [email protected].

3D Film Brings Viewers to Fantasy WorldBy STEPHEN ACEVEDOSTAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––

The movie Cora-line hit theaters this Friday, Feb. 8 and like many fans of The Nightmare before Christmas, I went to theaters expecting a magnificent experi-ence. To my surprise, the film is actually based on a novel-la written by Neil Gaiman (comic writer for “The Sandman”).

Aside from the television trailers and the great reviews, upon entering the theater this Saturday and putting on my 3D glasses, I couldn’t help but feel hyped for the film. And when the lights turned back on in the theater as the credits began to roll, the audience

stood on their feet and gave applause (myself included).

magical world and away from the bor-ing realities of life. The movie also does

young Coraline (Da-kota Fanning), her friend Wybie, and The Cat (Keith David), on

your breath away and keep you high on your toes.

The movie Cora-line is filled with noth-ing but greatness and in all, seems to have no flaws. It is a spec-tacular film and in my opinion will become a classic among oth-ers. Coraline will be talked about for years to come, and I tip my hat off to Henry Selick for such a brilliant and outstanding movie. Coraline is getting an A+ in my book and I urge everyone to see it the only way it should be seen: in front of a large screen, while munching on pop-corn and Juju beans, and being wowed by in your face images while wearing 3D glasses.

He did what?!…He hit Rihanna.

How dare he! R&B artist Chris Brown was arrested Sunday, Feb. 8 for assaulting girlfriend and fellow singer Rihanna the wee hours of Sunday morning.

The two allegedly fought in Brown’s car a little after midnight Sunday morning. The LAPD received a 911 call and noticed visible injuries on Rihanna, according to TMZ.com. Brown was charged with one count felony criminal threats, which could be punishable up to nine years in prison, as opposed to four years for domestic abuse.

Brown is also sup-posedly charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but authori-

ties have con-firmed that no actual weapon was used. Re-ports also say that Rihanna “suffered con-tusions and bite marks.” No statements have been made about R i h a n n a ’ s condition by the time of this article’s publication.

Wow, talk about stirring up publicity. Chris Brown is never go-ing to live this news down for as long as he remains in the music busi-ness. Before this incident, the 19-year-

old had a good life: Grammy nomina-tions, a famous girl-friend, and a squeaky-clean image. Now, not only will he have to rebuild his image for years to come, but he has put his career in jeopardy. Wrigley’s gum released Monday that it is temporar-ily suspending all ads featuring the singer. Pending the result of the incident’s inves-tigation, Brown’s ads may be suspended permanently.

My real problem with this situation is that Rihanna didn’t just kick his ass. As a strong, tough woman, I think she could have easily beaten up the little pipsqueak. Surprises at the Grammys

The fifty-first an-

nual Grammy awards were held last Sunday, Feb. 8 and shocked the music world with quite a few surprises.

Alison Krauss and Robert Plant led the awards, winning three, including Album of the Year for their col-laboration, Raising Sand.

Coldplay wasn’t far behind, also winning three awards, includ-ing Best Rock Album and Song of the Year for “Viva la Vida.”

The most intense part of the night was Jennifer Husdon’s tear-jerking perfor-mance of “You Pull Me Through.” The singer also won her first Grammy, taking the prize of Best R&B Album for her self-titled debut.
