Going into the first Sun-day of the 2008 NFL sea-son, the main story was Bret Favre’s first regular season game with the Jets. However by the end of that day the story around the league was that Tom Brady had been seriously injured against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brady, who connected on a pass to Randy Moss, was hit in the left leg by Brandon Pollard, which

Tom Brady Out for the Seasonproceeded to send Brady down in pain. Brady was on the ground for sev-eral minuets before being helped up and walking off the field and into the locker room. The league’s reign-ing MVP would not return to the game and by the time the final snap took place, word started spreading around that Brady may be done for the season.

With Brady’s torn ACL taking him out for the sea-son the landscape of not only the AFC, the AFC East, but the NFL as well has changed. No longer are

the Patriots the threat they were with Brady leading the helm. Matt Cassel will not nearly be at the level Brady was at. All you have to do is look at the New York Jets who look like they are going to be much improved from last year now with Bret Favre lead-ing the offense. The Jets are a team that has a future Hall of Fame quarterback while the Pats have to rely on Matt Cassel. Lets be honest, Cassel is far from a Tom Brady. As Brady’s in-jury showed us all, one key player can change the land-

scape of an entire team.Then there are the other

top tier teams in the NFL that now seem to have a better chance then the Pa-triots of having a very suc-cessful season. The Colts have to be at the top of the list now as top contender for an AFC championship. While the Colts may have suffered a disappointing loss to the Bears Sunday night, Sept. 7, you have to remember that Peyton Manning did not play a down in the preseason,

Campus Events, Etc.The Charger Bulletin | September 17, 2008

Word of mouth-clubs had great turnouts after the new fresh-man class swamped the campus. Maybe we’ll have a good amount of active freshmen who attend USGA and contribute to our cam-pus by actually participating. Still, I have seen some events that are still under-attended-let’s hope that won’t last.

Rose at the C-Store, err…”The Quick Zone” is awesome. It was a special request to include her in my battery this week. She works hard, makes us feel welcome, and is quite under-standing. Don’t you dare walk into the Zone without saying hello to her, and make sure to try to figure out her Mad Gab-it’s quite fun!

There have been many blun-ders with the card readers this year-a credit card is declined, a student ID card isn’t scanning correctly-this really does not help the long-line situation on campus. However, it’s always nice when people lend a hand and in these situations lend their own, working cards for use. For those people, thank you!

A million dollars in student ac-tivity fees, increased fees due to the Recreation Center, and classes like Ballroom Dancing, which used to

be free on this campus, now cost $120 to take-unless

you take advan-tage of the oh-so-

generous dis-count of $20. A p p a r e n t l y a f t e r U N H overcharges us , reduces our financial aid, and steals o u r m o n e y for books, we have a good c h u n k l e f t over to learn yoga.

The controversial $1.8 billion Large Hadron Collider has been con-sidered the biggest science experiment ever.

A recent study funded by the Ameri-can Cancer Society shows that only 40 percent of older co-lon cancer patients are receiving the post-surgery screen-ings recommended to ensure that the dis-ease has not returned. The rest of the 4,426 patients in the study

Colon Cancer Patients Going Without follow-Up Care

have not gotten all the doctor visits, taken all the blood tests, or got-ten a colonoscopy–all of which are advised for the three years fol-lowing the cancer sur-gery.

Of all the recom-mended treatments, patients were least likely to take all of the suggested blood tests. Dr. Gregory Cooper, the gastroenterologist in charge of the study, is unsure whether to

place the blame on physicians for not offering the tests, or patients for not taking advantage of them. However, Cooper said it could be the fault of the providers who aren’t specialists and are unfamiliar with the rules.

An estimated 149,000 Americans are expected to be di-agnosed with colon cancer by the end of this year. With the dis-

ease becoming more and more prevalent, it is important for ev-eryone to be aware of the risks. The sur-vival rate beyond five years ranges from 90 percent for cancer that hasn’t spread to 10 percent for more aggressive cases. Follow-up care is be-coming the patient’s responsibility, and his or her life can often depend on it.

It was all over the news last week, but many people shrugged their shoulders and scratched their heads at the mention of the Large Hadron Collider and its first test run at CERN. For those stu-dents that are science savvy, the first test run marked an epic break-ing point in particle physics research and cosmic theory.

The particle ac-celerator, located at the European Orga-nization for Nuclear Research (CERN) headquarters in Ge-neva, Switzerland, is a relatively simple in-strument. By launch-ing and spinning a beam of protons in a clockwise direction, and another beam of protons in a counter-clockwise direction, CERN plans on col-liding the protons in the instrument in an attempt to recreate the Higgs Boson.

Unsure about the Higgs Boson? The massive particle, cre-

Scientists Seek to Prove Big Bang Theory

ated from mass-less material, is the start-ing particle from the very popular Big Bang Theory. By cre-ating the Higgs Boson (a particle that does contain mass) from one that does not, sci-entists and particle physicists alike will have the first substan-tial proof of the theory that created our uni-verse and the Earth.

As many may have heard, the Large Had-ron Collider (LHC for short) is under a

large amount of scru-tiny from some in the scientific community. While yes, it does seem like the colli-sion of these particles will provide people with a great amount of information about our scientific creation, there is a slight nega-tive. What if we do not create the Higgs Boson? The result would be micro black holes, tiny black holes in the middle of the earth that would start to gravitationally grab

tiny particles. As the black holes start to fill with particles they would become highly explosive, creating more and more black holes in their path.

So is the LHC safe? Does the 50 per-cent chance of solv-ing a natural mystery versus exploding CERN really benefit the scientific commu-nity? Many say “yes.” Many believe that the information that will come from CERN is worth more than the possibility of micro-scopic chasms.

If you are still con-fused, LHC instru-ments are actually very popular in mod-ern fiction. Although not completely fac-tual, Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, soon to be a major mo-tion picture, involves LHC technology and the creation of matter from nothing.

Keep your eyes out for information about the actual run of the CERN LHC on Oct. 21 to see if scientists can actually deter-mine the cause of the Big Bang.

Nearly 2,000 brought to safety in Texas after IkeGALVESTON, Texas—As teams persisted in the biggest search and rescue operation in Tex-as history, a new phase of the disaster wrought by Hurricane Ike was only beginning while thousands of people faced long stays in crowd-ed shelters because their homes were damaged or destroyed.

The death toll from Ike rose to 28, but many of those were far to the north of the Gulf Coast as the storm slogged across the nation's mid-section, leaving a trail of flooding and destruc-tion. Glass-strewn Houston was placed under a weeklong curfew, and millions of people in the storm's path remained in the dark.

Rescuers said they had saved nearly 2,000 people from waterlogged streets and splin-tered houses by Sunday afternoon. Many had ignored evacuation orders and tried to ride out the storm. Now they were boarding buses for indefinite stays at shelters in San Antonio and Austin.

"I have nowhere to go," said Ldyyan Jon-jocque, 61, waiting for a bus while holding the leashes of her four Australian shepherd dogs. She said she had to leave two dogs behind in her home. She wept as she told of officers res-cuing her in a dump truck.

In hard-hit towns like Orange, Bridge City and Galveston, authorities continued their door-to-door search well into the night, hop-ing to reach an untold number of people still in their homes, many without power or supplies.

Many of those who did make it to safety boarded buses without knowing where they were going or when they could return to what might remain of their homes.

Shelters across Texas scurried to find enough cots, and some evacuees arrived with little cash and no idea of what the coming days held.

Even for those who still have a home to go to, Ike's 110 mph winds and battering waves left thousands in coastal areas without electric-ity, gas and basic communications — and of-ficials estimated it may not be restored for a month.

The hurricane also battered the heart of the U.S. oil industry as Ike destroyed at least 10 production platforms, officials said. Details about the size and production capacity of the destroyed platforms were not immediately available, but the damage was to only a frac-tion of the 3,800 platforms in the Gulf.

It was too soon to know how seriously it would affect oil and gas prices.

President Bush made plans to visit the area on Tuesday.

He said getting power restored is an ex-tremely high priority and urged power com-panies to "please recruit out-of-state people to come and help you do this."

WEST HAVEN—Walking into the main doors of the Marvin K. Peterson library many students will notice a frontal display of blueprints and vari-ous drawings. These pieces are the first of many interior design exhibits throughout

Student Work featured inLibrary Exhibit

the library.On the wall, adja-

cent to the stairway, drawings of floor plans, architectural designs, and books hang brightly. Exam-ples of topics ranging from the structure of architecture, lighting, color, and the busi-ness of designing a room, are displayed in this exhibit.

Books about fa-

mous architects like Frank Gehry, and Frank Lloyd Wright are visible.

The work of UNH students continues into the stairway and onto the second floor of the library. Busi-nesses within the New Haven and Con-necticut area were used as structural ex-amples; inspiring the drawings and designs

displayed.This exhibit is the

first by UNH students in the Interior Design and Pre-Architecture program and will be open during library hours.

A Lesson in Etiquette

WEST HAVEN—As soon as the Workplace Etiquette Workshop began, Dodds was ushered with profes-sionalism.

The workshop was presented by Kristin Cruz, the Graduate Assistant for Career Services and Kathy Forkin, Career Ser-vices Specialist.

The workshop ac-quainted UNH stu-dents with the skills required for a position, getting rid of com-mon mistakes, and the UNH rules and regu-

lations for a job. The workshop enabled the students to deal with problems at work such as schedule/time con-flicts.

The workshop con-cluded by giving the students certain help-ful tips such as cor-rectly and clearly fill-ing out a time sheet, maintaining a clear communication with the supervisor, and maintaining a plan-ner to be on time and dressing to impress.

RECSports Provides a Good Time for UNH Community

WEST HAVEN—Many people may not know that the REC-Sports program, of-fered at the Campus Rec Center, actually has existed longer than the Campus Rec building has been open.

The RECSports Program was spear-headed by Morgan Rocheleau, Assistant Director of Campus Recreation, in the fall of last year. Though green, the RECSports program was still the first truly organized intramural sports program offered on campus. After a posi-tive start in the fall, the program launched onto the campus scene last spring with the opening of the Beck-erman Recreation Center which offered new opportunities for more sports.

The opening of the Beckerman Center gave the RECSports program the venue for floor hockey, in-door soccer, racquet-ball, dodge ball, and more. But the growth of the program didn’t

stop there. From the beginning the pro-gram offered orga-nized divisions for various sports. As more and more stu-dents took interest the divisions expanded. From there the Quest for the Charger Cup was born.

At the start of the spring semester a new type of championship was introduced to the participants of the RECSports program. But this was no fes-tive day of events; it was the Quest for the Charger Cup! A team can win a league, but can they reign supreme as the ultimate champions? From its initiation last spring, the Quest has been designed as a year-long competi-tion for points. Points are earned for par-ticipation and sports-manship in the many sports, divisions and leagues of the RECS-ports program.

Any team play-ing in a RECSports program may enter into the Quest. The more you play the more points you ac-crue. Teams can even play in different di-visions for the same

sport. The competi-tion runs the length of the school year incor-porating all four sea-sons of sports offered by the RECSports program. In the end which ever team has earned the most points proves themselves the ultimate champions of all RECSports. Of course like all con-tests the Quest for the Charger Cup has rules and regulations. For full details and to see last year’s winners visit the Equipment Issue Desk in the Rec Center.

The Quest for the Charger Cup will be going on this year, but that’s not all that is happening with REC-Sports. New and ex-citing improvements have already been in-troduced. For the first time, there are two leagues teams may participate in-as long as there is enough interest. Teams can choose between Semi-Pro (which is for beginners or those playing recreational-ly) and Pro (for those with more skill and a competitive streak). Also two new divi-sions have been added to the sports that the

RECSports program offers. The Faculty/Staff and Grad stu-dent division is de-signed to give that niche their chance at the games. As for the new Residence Hall division, here’s the chance to prove which residence hall is the best!

RECSports has hit the ground running with this year’s ad-ditions including the introduction of two new sports: fiddle stix and team handball. Season One registra-tion as already come and gone, but if you would still like to par-ticipate you can regis-ter as a free agent by downloading the ap-plication off of www.newhaven.edu/char-gerrec and submitting the completed appli-cation to the Equip-ment Issue Desk in the Rec Center. Don’t forget to look out for Season Two registra-tion, coming soon. Seasons Three and Four will come in the spring. All the sports and the seasons in which they are of-fered can be found on the website previ-ously mentioned.

Every year I hear more and more peo-ple regurgitating such phrases as “we need to save the planet” or “global warming is damaging our planet” yet I don’t see nearly enough people taking the initiative to take part in the simple ac-tivity known as recy-cling.

Yes, I know almost all people are aware that such an activity exists between media attention, your first-grade “3Rs” prin-ciples, and countless opportunities to actu-ally recycle, but the bottom line is that more people need to start caring about the planet that we so nonchalantly take for granted. Do you want watch the same planet you have grown up on slowly be destroyed? The answer to this

Adding Green to Our School Colors

question shouldn’t require thought. So in order to motivate and educate students, I have taken the liberty of listing, with exam-ples, all the types of materials that can be recycled.

1. Plastic Bottles (juices, water, etc.)–I hope this one is obvi-ous.

2. Other plastic containers–shampoo bottles, plastic milk containers, and liquid detergent containers.

3. Paper s– th i s isn’t just limited to newspapers, but also brown paper bags, notebook paper, printer paper, maga-zines (less than half-inch thick), mail, pamphlets/brochures, cardboard, cereal boxes, shoe boxes, phonebooks, and last-ly, milk cartons.

4. Metals–alu-minum, steel, and tin cans, and non-haz-ardous aerosol cans.

5. G l a s s – f o o d

jars such as jelly and glass drink bottles.

Now this seems like a lot of items to be re-cycled, but if you ex-amine what you con-sume on a daily basis, especially those of you who live in suites or without meal plans, you’ll see that a lot of the items can easily be recycled.

If the aforemen-tioned information has not motivated you, then hopefully these next two facts will. It takes approximately 450 years for a single plastic bottle to de-compose and approxi-mately 200 years for a single aluminum can to decompose. So next time you’re about to throw a plastic bottle in the trash rather than the recycling contain-er, just remember that one bottle will still be decomposing long af-ter you, and your kids, are no longer living.

At the start of the academic year the USGA had five open senate seats and was actively seeking qualified candidates. At our Sept. 9 meet-ing we filled three of those seats. Our Sept. 16 meeting also intro-duced possible can-didates and it is ex-pected that more seats will be filled.

The introduction of the three new sena-tors on Sept. 9 was noteworthy because two of the senators are freshman. For those of you who don't know, the uni-versity undergraduate enrollment is approx-imately 3,000 stu-dents, half of whom are freshmen. Many current senators were excited to see fresh-man jumping into the

position, as well as welcoming them to the senate.

The idea of fresh-men being senators is a relatively new con-cept for the USGA. The USGA previ-ously had a clause in the constitution that all senators need to maintain a 2.5 GPA to be a senator, which excluded freshman from applying since they did not have an established GPA until their second semester. That requirement has since been removed and we now encour-age all interested freshman to apply.

Senator appli-cations are always available on www.ChargerVoice.com under the forms page. Interested applicants can visit the site and

fill out the electronic form which gets sent directly to the USGA President. They then need to download the second page and have 30 undergradu-ate students endorse them. Once both parts of the application are complete, the students are brought before the legislature who votes to accept the candi-date.

Questions regard-ing senator applica-tions can be directed to the USGA President at [email protected].

Know who I don’t like? “Stupid rich people.” Take note that there is a vast dif-ference between “rich people” and “stupid rich people,” however. Translated from Latin, “rich people” is “(n.) a group of wealthy indi-viduals who may en-joy golfing;” “stupid rich people” is “(n.) a group of individu-als who have to enjoy golfing.”

Notice the two dif-ferences in their defi-nitions: for “stupid rich people,” there is the subtraction of “wealthy” and a re-placement of “have to” instead of “may.” Basically put, “stu-pid rich people” don’t necessarily need to be rich. They just need to be stupid. That’s why “stupid” comes first, bozo.

Let me explain.John McCain, al-

though I don’t know

“Stupid Rich People”- The Bane of Americahim personally, is probably not a “stu-pid rich people.” Sure, he may be stupid in certain aspects and his seven houses cer-tainly don’t shout out any poor qualities (pun DEFINIITELY intended!), but JMac Daddy is simply “rich people”–and stupid is the icing that comes with the McCake.

George W. Bush is a “stupid rich people,” however. He’s rich, his family is oil-hun-gry (goes alongside with the richness as-pect), and anyone who doesn’t recognize him as stupid needs their eyes checked…along with every other part of their body. Also, he sucks at golf–yet plays anyways! That is primo! Just look at the definition: “a group of individuals who HAVE TO en-joy golfing.” He plays golf at times he should

be meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Ding-ding, we have a winner!

T a k e note, I don’t hate rich peo-p l e – 9 0 % of them h o n e s t l y d e s e r v e their money. If I hear another person tell me that Bill Gates is a bad person because he doesn’t give $1 to every person in the world, I think I’ll go so crazy I may consider voting for JMac Dad-dy. HAVE YOU PEO-PLE EVER HEARD OF THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION!? Of course not. You’re stupid. Now just make some money, and you’ll be a “stupid rich people.”

P o i n t is that the 90% who h o n e s t l y d e s e r v e their rich-ness should be pay-ing higher taxes than o t h e r s –b e c a u s e it won’t hurt them. If I made

over $600,000 a year, I’d be glad to be pay-ing taxes that were a little higher than oth-er people! Whatever happened to America being a country where those better off can help those less well off? For our genera-tion, I feel that people like George W. Bush and his followers are the answer. They’ve depressed the nation so dramatically that nobody cares about anything anymore. But don’t worry, kid-

dos. Certain people (coughObamacough) are making this care-lessness into some-thing much more: from being thrown out of hospitals to universal healthcare; from helping daddy look better to ending the war in Iraq; from eight years of crap to a future not so crappy. He’s moving the na-tion, especially the younger voters. And even you can’t deny that, Mr. and/or Mrs. Republican Reader.

The people who aren’t helping, how-ever, are the million-aires and billionaires who feel that paying more than ten bucks a week for national taxes is “unfair” and that it is “class war-fare.” Have you ever seen these same peo-ple donate money to good causes? Neither have I.

We all aspire to

have a successful fu-ture; we all aspire to gain happiness and make lots of money. Fact is happiness is something that no-body but you has any control over, and few of us will make lots of money. But for those who do, ask yourself: are you going to be a cool, rich person or are you going to be a “stupid rich people?” Don’t choose the lat-ter; instead, if you become one of the few lucky ones, do good things with your money. Buy a Ferrari; go to grad school; but also donate to a good cause.

“You have not lived a perfect day, even though you have earned your money, unless you have done something for some-one who will never be able to repay you.”

Panda Antivirus: Not All It’s Cracked Up to BeWhen I was but

a young prospective student, the university Tech Department pro-moted antivirus soft-ware called Panda. It was cheap, about $15 at the time, and of-fered more protection than competitors like Norton or McAfee. I was enthralled by the product and bought it during Welcome Week of my freshman year.

Panda worked very well. It was a little too protective of various settings. I’d have to tell the software it was alright to run this pro-gram or that. Howev-er, the virus protection was strong and it did a thorough job scanning the inner recesses of

my hard drive. The firewall, on

the other hand, was way too strong. It put the entire Internet on a blacklist and asked if it was okay to go to any site. The fire-wall also had a prob-lem with the wireless network on campus. It saw everyone else as an intruder on the network and would spam my computer with intruder alerts. I ended the aggravation by disabling Panda’s firewall and using the prebuilt one from Windows. The virus scan and removal took care of what Windows allowed through.

Since then, my feelings towards Pan-

da have changed. I renewed the subscrip-tion every year to get the updated software. This is where the problems began. In-stalling the new pro-gram was like pull-ing teeth. Sometimes, the old version had to be deleted before the other could take over. Other versions said it would delete the obsolete one for you, which is the case for the Internet Secu-rity 2009 software I am currently trying to download. The instal-lation process sud-denly stopped. 2009 tells me to restart the computer to continue installation. This mes-sage won’t go away,

nor will it do anything else.

By this point, you’re probably asking your-self why don’t I just contact Panda and ask for help. I have already contacted Panda and had a whole different set of problems with Tech Support. Only one of the 10 different technicians has actu-ally read and compre-hended my e-mails. The others gave me instructions for oper-ating systems or Panda software I don’t have, even though I specifi-cally told them what I do have.

Contacting Pan-da by phone is even worse. It is $19.95 to speak with an opera-

tor. Please have your credit card standing by. I’ve already spent more than that to re-new my subscrip-tion with a couple more licenses. I’ve also been a customer for four years now. Twenty dollars to talk to a person after going through a computer menu is absolutely ri-diculous.

Had I known Panda would have given me this much aggravation four years ago, I never would have bought the disc from our Tech Department. My ad-vice to you is to keep whatever service is al-ready on your comput-er. It’s probably much more compatible with

the university’s net-work anyway. For those of you who al-ready installed Panda, don’t renew it when the coverage expires. I am currently trying to cancel my own sub-scription and am look-ing for a new antivirus software. BitDefender 2009 looks pretty promising, but I only just started looking. Twenty-five dollars to cover everything on your computer except webmail looks very good to a college stu-dent. BitDefender was a given a gold medal from TopTenReviews.com for 2008’s antivi-rus software.

Restaurant Review: Captain’s CatchBy Tim Fasano

Returning to the World Trade CenterIt was a warm day

in late May when I decided to visit New York City. I was go-ing to a Yankees game (though I am a Red Sox fan, I wanted to see a game in the old stadium before it was retired) with a co-worker who loved the city and who was excited to show me around. I had only been there once for a community service trip, so after the game we flagged down a cab and began our

venture.My friend took me

to Manhattan, which was truly overwhelm-ing and although it was magnificent in its own way, I was not fond of the “hur-ried” atmosphere. She showed me the Rockefeller Center, which took me by surprise because peo-ple were ice-skating outdoors during 70 degree weather. We also walked by St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I had been inside it

on my mission trip and from the outside it looked like a giant castle that sprouted from medieval times into the heart of our nation’s most well-known city. After a long day, we decided to head back to Grand Central Station to board the train home. “Wait a minute!” my friend exclaimed as we quickly walked among the bright lights of the shopping centers. “We haven’t been to Ground Zero.”

We flagged down another taxi cab and away we went.

At first I didn’t rec-ognize the place. To be honest, I had never even seen the World Trade Center until 2001 after the disas-ter immortalized the buildings and placed them on every TV set in the nation. The area that surrounded me as I stepped out of the cab was unfa-miliar and strangely different from the rest of New York City. I couldn’t figure out this difference, as it

fire department. We walked alongside it, and I am still haunt-ed by the pictures of

firefighters hanging among the wall. There were several bulletin boards of men post-ed up, photos sadly bunched together like old friends; their fi-nal assembly. They hugged their daugh-ters, embraced their wives, and smiled as though nothing in the world could steal their frowns from them. I thought about the families that they left behind. I thought about the son who had nobody to play catch with, and the daughter who would not have a partner for the father-daughter first grade ball.

Then I saw Ground Zero itself. Tall walls and fences hid it from the public, and I had to find an opening to view it. I was taken back by the empti-ness inside. Where monstrous buildings once stood, there was now a hole in the ground. I actually had to look downward in some places to

We all have been on vacation to the beach: wind in our hair, sounds of the surf crashing up on the shore, and of course, fresh, homemade sea-food from a local ven-dor. If you have been living under a rock, you probably should be informed that we are really, really close to the beach. So we get the sun, the surf, and the fun…but where’s the seafood? It’s closer than you think.

The Captain’s Catch in Milford is just a hop, skip, and a Frisbee game away from campus, and

provides fresh sea-food and chow that is…well, it’s just fan-tastic.

The restaurant of-fers a lot for those with a fancy for the sea creatures. With a large menu that com-promises fish, scal-lops, shrimp, clams, and lobster, including fried platters, chow-ders, and soups. Did I mention they have three types of clam chowder? THREE! I didn’t know that there were three types…it was awesome. Oh, and it’s all delicious. Whether it is fried or baked, the seafood is obviously fresh and

well prepared. Noth-ing is pulled out of a box or a bucket. Either way, it tastes great and is afford-able, which is always important to the ever present poor college student.

For those not in-clined to eat those with gills, the Cap-tain’s Catch also pro-vides a wide assort-ment of burgers and dogs for your roasted land mammal plea-sure. My personal favorite was the Fire-house burger. Basi-cally it’s your typical burger smothered in hot sauce…your taste buds will never be the

same.As any adventure

on the beach, a des-sert is a must, prefer-ably a cold one. I’ve never tried frozen custard before, and it was an ordeal that I would recommend to everyone. Captain’s Catch provides mul-tiple unique flavors, like Pina Colada and others, in the assort-ment styles of sun-daes and milkshakes.

All in all, the Cap-tain’s Catch in Mil-ford is a great place to relive the summer, even when you know you’re in the dusty halls of academia.

Where did we come from? Where are we going? What is the reason for life in the universe? If you’ve ever asked these ques-tions, then Spore can give you the answers.

The new game by Electronic Arts lets players control a civi-lization from the very beginning. Swim the primordial seas and take your first steps on land. Make friends or foes with your neigh-bors as you discover fire. Unify your entire species however you want. Blast your way among the stars to ex-pand your empire.

Your ganglion, nucleus, or whatever you want to call your prehistoric brain increases in size throughout this stage. Obtaining sentience allows progress to the Creature Stage.

The Creature Stage is where your cell sheds its primordial genes and grows legs. Explore the world to discover new body parts to incorporate into your creature. See the world, meet inter-esting people, and kill or befriend them. Carnivorous ones will have to resort to mak-ing a few species ex-tinct in order to eat.

plore the galaxy. This is where the multi-player aspect of Spore comes into play. The game is played on-line, so people around the world can interact with you. Even better, there is no monthly subscription. Form alliances with other players or wage epic battles with them.

The scenery is fan-tastical in a World of Warcraft sort of way. Plants and trees may be odd colors. Like your creature, Spore is extremely adap-tive. It monitors your in-game decisions and bases your future ac-tions from the past. The instruction man-ual provides a few tips on how to go in certain social direc-tions. Honestly, the

When I pressed play however, all my fears of a bad CD were blown away with the beloved Metallica guitar solos (they’re in every song). Before I knew it I was rock-ing out in my chair!

When buying CD’s my general rule of thumb is to hear at least three songs I like before buying the CD, in this case I had only heard one, “The Day That Never Comes.” With Death Magnetic it made no difference that I had only listened

Q: Even though I’ve only been away from home for a few weeks, I already hate it and feel homesick. I don’t wanna tell any of my buddies cause they’re just gonna make fun of me. Should I go home or should I try to stick it out?

A: I think you should try and stick it out for the semester. Being away from home is a HUGE adjustment and it takes a while to get used to. Try going home once in a while, it may help! As for your friends, there is no reason to tell them, unless you think they might be able to help with the adjustment. If things don’t get better after a semester, then transferring closer to home may make things easier for you.

A: I think that you should SUCK IT UP. Being away from home is fun. Your buddies would obviously make fun of you because you’re sup-posed to be having the time of your life, hell, I’m making fun of you right now and I certainly am not one of your buddies. If you are that much of a wuss then leave and go back home to mommy and daddy.

and one would think that it is just a matter of time before Man-ning gets back into the flow of things and starts putting up big numbers.

You can also look at the Chargers. Yes

Brady’s Injury SpellsTrouble for New England

again they also suf-fered a bad loss to the Panthers in week one, but this was a team that had a slow start last year, and has too much talent to not be a contender for a championship. You have to remember that the Chargers put up a heck of a fight against New England in the AFC title game last year when Brady

was in the lineup. Now that he is done for the season, you have to think that when these two teams hook up on Oct. 12 that the Char-gers are going to go in as the favorite.

Finally there are the Dallas Cowboys

out of the NFC. In my opinion, the Cowboys are the top team in the league now that Brady is down and out. Yes, Tony Romo has been the complete opposite in the playoffs than Brady and has not shown anyone that he can win when it really counts. But Romo has all the tools to sooner or later win the big one, and with Brady

gone for the season this may be the best opportunity for Amer-ica’s team.

So do the Patriots still have a chance to make the playoffs? Of course they do. They still have a load of tal-ent to work with. But

it is not going to be easy e s p e -c i a l l y w i t h t e a m s like the B i l l s and Jets on the rise in the AFC E a s t . The Pa-t r i o t s look like a very beatable t e a m .

Kansas City, which has no right to go any-where this year, al-most beat the Patriots on their home field. As most fans in New England have real-ized the last couple of weeks, it is going to be an uphill battle for the Pats this year and only time will tell where that road is go-ing to end up.

WEST HAVEN—The University of New Haven women's soccer team kept its unbeaten streak alive Saturday, Sept. 13 as they battled Dowling College to a 3-3 tie. The Chargers move to 3-2-1 overall, while Dowling now stands at 3-0-2.

With just over 12 minutes remaining in game, the Golden Lions broke a 2-2 deadlock on a strike off the foot of Sinead Tucker from 25 yards out. The Dowling lead would not last long as the Chargers repeat-edly threatened over the next five minutes before sophomore Emily Buckley-Mat-ura scored the game-tying goal with just over seven minutes re-maining in regulation. An impressive header attempt by freshman Marta Bertsos off of Ali Espanol's corner kick ricocheted off of the crossbar and Buckley-Matura put home the rebound, her second goal of the day, to send the game to overtime.

The teams would exchange multiple scoring chances down in the two overtime

mark to take a 1-0 lead. New Haven quickly put out the fire, tying the game one minute and 30 seconds later on Buckley-Matura's boot from five yards out on the right wing. The assist was cred-ited to sophomore for-ward Holly Dawson.

Senior Selina Moy-lan took matters into her own hands in the 42nd minute, dribbling through two Dowling defenders and beat-ing the keeper for her team-leading eighth goal of the season.

Chargers goalkeep-er Kim Taylor finished with a game-high nine saves, including a one-on-one game-sav-ing stop on a Dowling breakaway in the first overtime.

Saturday's battle of the midfield came at the 54:54. Statistically an own-goal, the goal-scoring shot was taken by the Pioneers from just under 20-yards out before it was de-flected by a C.W. Post player and it eventual-ly bounced the wrong

direction off a UNH play-er inside the goal box.

The re-m a i n i n g 35 minutes the Char-gers would have very few chances around the P i o n e e r s

net with a majority of the game played in the midfield. The best UNH opportunity came at 69:37 when Anthony Romano riffled a shot that was blocked by the Pio-neer defense.

The Chargers and Pioneers tallied an even 10 shots a piece. UNH goalkeeper

James Hilaire tallied seven saves, four in the second period.

The cast of the new series Fringe investigates the mystery of Fringe Tuesdays on FOX.

By TIMOTHY fASANOSTAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––the right amount of influence, and played nights of epic Halo tournaments. A play-ful combination of wit, sarcasm, and iro-ny (mostly delivered by Parsons) made each episode hilarious to watch. Oh yeah, and you cannot forget Shrodinger’s cat. The famous thought ex-periment led to one of the most anticipated, and unusual, season finale’s in comedic history.

But what do fans expect of the second season? What can newcomers expect if they had not seen the first season?

Well, first, is the

CBS Comedy Returnsbudding relationship between Penny and Leonard. We left them together and quite happy but, as any fan of TV knows, this probably is not for long. Viewers can ex-pect Walowitz to still be full of sexual in-nuendos and Rajesh to still be completely un-able to talk to women. The writers have also made suggestions that new characters may be entering the mist but, like the creators of Heroes, vow to not leave them around long if devoted fans do not enjoy their presence. Oh, and ex-pect the theme song to stay exactly the same. While some shows

pride themselves on changing or tweaking their theme songs ev-ery year, expect The Big Bang Theory to always start off with the same charming quip to nature’s own Big Bang.

In finality, fans and newbies alike will find the second sea-son of The Big Bang Theory, which debuts Mon. Sept. 22, to be a huge success. The gang, the jokes, the intellect, and all the Green Lantern quips one could ask for will return to CBS as one of the greatest com-edies on television. Tune in!

The new film star-ring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, Righ-teous Kill, opened at the box office this weekend amidst large buzz.

The film is a basic story about two po-lice officers (Pacino and De Niro) trying to solve a series of mur-ders. These murders are linked, and with the help of officers from another precinct (John Leguizamo and

Donnie Wahlberg), the cops get closer to nabbing the “po-etry killer.” As the story progresses, and this isn’t a spoiler be-cause if you’ve seen a preview, you know this…so hush, the foursome realize that a fellow police officer is probably the one who is committing these murders.

The movie itself has massive hype, and lives up to most of it. The story is streamlined and easy to understand, and provides the watcher

with a detailed view of how the cops fight the criminals, and fel-low officers.

From a forensic standpoint (as I am a forensic major) the crime scene tech…well, was nice to look at. Otherwise, the sto-ry, along with all the associated twists and turns, made for a fun and entertaining ses-sion in the theater. The movie is definitely worth watching, and oh yeah, 50 Cent is in it too…he was super.

Righteous Kill delivers

FOX’s Tuesday lineup starts with new series Fringe. The 90-minute premiere shocked America in a few ways. J.J. Abrams, who also wrote Lost and Trans-formers, grabbed the reigns for this psy-chological whiz-bang. I’ve never seen Lost, but have heard good things about it.

Fringe opens up with a terror on an airplane, similar to the pilot of Lost. The plane does not crash, but everyone on board dies of some face-melting compound.

FBI agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) heads up the investi-gation when her part-ner gets caught in a blast. She becomes immersed with a field of science known as fringe. Dunham has to learn quickly, because her partner is slow-ing dying as his body

crystallizes. Unfortu-nately for her, the only fringe expert around has been locked in a

mental institution for the last 17 years.

Fringe, or Pseudo-science, “is defined as a body of knowl-edge, methodology, belief, or practice that is claimed to be scien-tific or made to appear scientific, but does not adhere to the sci-

entific method, lacks supporting evidence or plausibility, or oth-erwise lacks scientific

status,” according to BD Horror News. This realm of “science” be-lieves in psychic phe-nomena and other sci-ence fiction themes as more than just fiction. For example, a water tank and a concoction of illegal drugs can be used to synchronize

brain waves between two people. This al-lows for memory transfer between the

two people.Fringe has very

serious undertones. Persons unknown are performing strange experiments on peo-ple all around the world. Some of these experiments involve chemical warfare and reanimation.

The show’s lit-eral mad scientist, Dr. Bishop, randomly throws in humor. John

Noble, who played the steward of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings, plays the part well. He’ll be lucid one mo-ment, and then shout that he wet himself. Joshua Jackson (Char-lie Conway from D3: The Mighty Ducks) is the skeptic son of Dr.

Bishop.The first episode

was a rollercoaster. It juggled between the absurdness of people melting on a plane and trying to stop some sort of terrorist group. No one knows if terror-ists are even involved in the first place. The mad doctor lists out chemical compounds he will need as he’s watching children’s programs. Since he uses the full name of the compound, view-ers may miss the LSD reference.

Fringe definitely shows promise. It tried to pack a ton of information in while making the show en-joyable all in one 90-minute episode. This may have proven to be too much, but it laid the foundation for the rest of the series.

Now that Abrams has gotten everything out of his system, Fringe should be a very good show.

Fringe airs Tues-days at 9:00 p.m.

A feeling consumed me as I stood at the fence and looked in. I was frozen with emo-tions: I was scared, I wanted to cry, I want-ed to pray, I wanted to leave, and I wanted to stay. There was a sense of eeriness that emitted from that place, and I suddenly felt like I’d

Back at Ground Zeroseen a ghost. News-casts of Sept. 11, 2001 began replaying over and over in my head, and I didn’t realize it when I was there, but my friend later told me she’d seen me cry-ing.

I don’t know how long I stood at Ground Zero, but I remember the long, quiet cab ride back to the train station. I watched the place where the twin towers once stood dis-appear as we drove away, the image still in my mind today, five months after. I see it in my dreams; I see it in my nightmares. I thank God every day that nobody in my family was in those buildings that day. I

pray for those fami-lies who lost someone special to them there, and I thank God for the heroes who gave their lives trying to save people. I believe those people were a beautiful mixture of real life superheroes and angels, and they are role models for our children to look up to, representing true cour-age and bravery.

If you haven’t vis-ited Ground Zero, I strongly urge you do so. It’s an experience that cannot be dupli-cated by a television newscast or a news-paper article. It’s an experience that will change you forever.
