While freshmen in particular may have benefited from the occasion, especially because in some cases it’s the first time seeing their families since beginning college, everyone was welcome to take advantage of the numerous events planned for that day.

Beginning around 10:00 a.m., families checked-in and, if they didn’t do so beforehand, registered at the Beckerman Recreation Center, while being treated to a continental breakfast and

USGA President’s Corner Dear Students, Seniors make sure you petition to graduate because the dates have changed. January 2012 petitions are due October 17, and May 2012 petitions will be due November 4. Make sure you stay on top of your classes and talk with your advisor to bring clarity to any questions you may have.

As we close out our first month of school, I hope you all are doing well. I hope you all have found your place here at UNH and are taking advantage of all this university has to offer. Your four years here at UNH are going to determine the person you become, and they will be the best and worst times of your life. All I ask is that you really take these years and make them memorable. Time goes by so quickly, and before you know it, time has passed and graduation is around the corner. I ask you to work hard, and do not procrastinate. I’ve learned throughout my years at UNH that you do not want to be a person who leaves mountains of things which they intended to do tomorrow.

So work hard, care for others, surround yourself with positive people, and think about your actions. We all make mistakes sometimes, but learn from them. I say this so we can make this campus even better than it has been in the past couple of years. I wish you the best of luck.

Have a great holiday weekend!

SCOPE It Out! Did You Know?

by Ashley Jones & Michelle Morra This weekend was so hectic with families running around everywhere. I hope everyone had a great time showing their families the campus and what cool events we put on here. And just because it was Family Day, that doesn’t mean that SCOPE stopped putting on events; nope we were busier than ever.

But before we talk about Family Day, let’s talk about the rest of the week. First, Film put on their weekly movie which was Transformers: Dark of the Moon. A lot of people showed up to that, and I don’t think it was just for the popcorn. There were new faces and old faces, but happy faces were all around. It was an amazing movie, because there was action, fighting, great special effects, and some hilarious jokes to break the mood. All in all, everyone had a great time and left with full bellies; the popcorn was a nice touch. This week the fun continues with the showing of Bad Teacher in the Quad: Friday at 7:30 p.m.

It’s also the first week of the month, which means that Beanhouse was on Tuesday in the Programming Space. Students were able to once again show off their talents at our open mic night.

We have some amazing talent here on campus, and it’s not just from the music department; even people without musical help got up on stage and sang their hearts out. If you have a talent, don’t be shy. Come show it off next month.

Now, let’s talk about Family Day! It was a great day with so many events, and I know families really enjoyed themselves.

Who wouldn’t? Obviously there were more events going on than just SCOPE events, which made the day even better; but SCOPE did a great job. In the morning, we had the Inflatable Fun Fest, which was moved from the Quad, because of the threat of rain.

However, it was still fun. There were giant inflatables and a trampoline, which had a line out the door, and of course food, ice cream, and cookies; yum! The fun continued that night with SCOPE’s Murder Mystery Dinner. It had everybody wondering “who done it,” and the actors were so entertaining. Also, I don’t think there are words to describe how good the food was. It was a great ending to a fantastic day.

SCOPE never stops, even if there is a two day holiday. Even though it is Columbus Day Weekend next week, we still have events. Sign up for the Lyman Orchards trip to pick pumpkins and apples, come out to the movies, get a laser scribe pen and photo dry erase board, and more! SCOPE keeps the fun coming!

Connecticut

by Joann Wolwowicz

As college students here at the University of New Haven, we make up a vast collection of students from all over the country. Only a fraction of students are actually originally from the state of Connecticut. However, for nine months out of the twelve and four years out of our entire lives, we call the state of Connecticut our second home. Of course, since many of us are from a different state, comparisons fly between different states starting the war as to which state is the superior state.

In most cases, Connecticut seems to fall short in most people’s eyes. Whether it’s a comparison of the prices, the location, or the drivers, everyone thinks that his or her state is much better. But how much do you actually know about the state of Connecticut for that matter? In fact, how much do you actually know about your home state as well? Connecticut has a long history here in the United States, and since it is our home away from home, it’s time we learned something about it.

Connecticut was one of the original 13 colonies and one of the six New England states. But Connecticut’s history extends back long before that, when PaleoIndians inhabited this region. Using the resources along the rivers and streams, this group of people engaged in hunting, gathering fish, woodworking, and ceremonial observances. When colonization of the area began to occur, relations between Native Americans and the early settlers in Connecticut were substantially better than in the other areas. Trading posts were established along the Connecticut River by the Dutch from New Amsterdam and by the English from the Plymouth colony, but the first permanent European settlers in the state came from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the middle Connecticut River valley. In 1665 the Connecticut River settlements and the New Haven colony were united, and the general outline of the state emerged, although its borders were not finally established until 1881, more than 200 years later. The New Haven colony was unsuccessful in an attempt to settle Delaware Bay, and the united Connecticut colony, despite its charter provisions, lost its claim to a strip of land extending westward to the Pacific Ocean.

During the American Revolution the state’s arms and other manufacturing industries contributed greatly to the war effort, earning Connecticut the nickname “Provisions State.” In 1775, several thousand militiamen from Connecticut joined in the Battles of Lexington and Concord. However, Connecticut’s support of the war effort did not end with the American Revolution. More than 50,000 Connecticut troops fought in the American Civil War, and nearly half were killed, wounded, or captured. Connecticut was a major supplier of war material to the Union cause, and war providers such as Colt and Winchester became famous for their firearms.

Additionally, throughout most of the 20th century, Connecticut was a leader in armament manufacture. The state’s concentration of defense contractors and smallarms makers contributed significantly to the country’s efforts in World Wars I and II and the Korean and Vietnam wars. The end of the Cold War in the late 1980s and early ‘90s was accompanied by a significant decline in government defense spending. Connecticut responded by boosting export sales and pioneering legislation to help diversify the economy.

Though most of us tend to blame our problems on the state of Connecticut, we have to remember that no state is perfect. Every state seems to have the worst prices, the worst locations, and the worst drivers. What we need to remember is that no place is going to match up to where we grew up. If it’s not home, then it’s not as good as home is. But we have to remember that there are 49 other states out there at think they are the best state with the best people. Each state has its own history and impact on our country’s history as a whole. Maybe it’s time for you to learn a little bit about the state you originate from. You may learn something interesting.

Tips on Arguing: Decorative Statistics

By BRANDON T. BISCEGLIA STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

At the end of 2008, National Public Radio commentator Frank Deford railed against a growing trend among sports aficionados that he found downright annoying. “It’s getting harder for the statistics freaks in all sports to dream up anything original,” he said. “And so I began to notice that a whole new category of stupid records was now being created.”

Deford went on to list some of the most convoluted stats he had come across, such as the following: “He’s the only pitcher in - get this –the last 4,113 to debut with 10 strikeouts and no walks.” Whoever came up with the above statistic had to work hard to make it sound impressive. And it might be effective for the casual ob-

server, who is likely to see the words “only pitcher” followed by a large number and assume that this “record” is significant.

But look a little more carefully, and the emptiness behind the number becomes apparent. The most glaring problem here is the seemingly arbitrary range of 4,113 pitchers. This pitcher’s record would be meaningful, if say it was the first time it had ever happened. That’s apparently not the case, or else the author of the statistic would have said so.

Chances are that the reason the statistician picked 4,113 as a starting point is that pitcher number 4,114 had the exact same record (or better).

It turns out that 4,113 isn’t even a big number when put into context. The website MLB.com lists over 1,100 current pitchers in Major League Baseball alone – never mind the

other leagues. Granted, not everyone gets replaced every season. Still, it only takes a decade at most to see 4,113 new pitchers. That’s the nature of all decorative statistics; they’re relatively mundane numbers that are tweaked to look more impressive.

Decorative statistics are rife in the sports world, but they can be found in other arenas as well.

Take movies for instance. The 2009 film Avatar was heralded as the highest grossing movie of all time, at approximately $761 million in domestic sales, according to Boxofficemojo.com. It is the highest, until you adjust for inflation. Measured in today’s dollars, Gone with the Wind weighs in at over $1.6 billion in domestic sales, blowing those Na’vi out of the water. Avatar doesn’t even make the top ten.

Coming Soon: Student Affairs Spotlight!

By Isaak Kifle

Hello Charger Bulletin readers! Whether this is the first or fiftieth issue you’ve picked up, thank you for reading! This newspaper is just one of the many services provided to students at the university, courtesy of the Office of Student Activities.

But just where is the office and what else do they do exactly? What about the other offices on campus? Everyone knows that UNH has an Office of Residential Life, but how many people actually know about everything they do on campus? Which office administers the Freshmen Experience Seminar, and which office is located right underneath it?

Maybe you’re a freshmen struggling in your classes and are in need of tutoring. Or maybe you’re an upperclassman that needs help finding an internship or preparing for that nerve-racking interview. And who here even knew that the university has an office that provides diversity resources, or another that provides disability resources?

Sadly, many students are unaware of all the services that this great campus has to offer. But don’t worry; your friends at The Charger Bulletin are here to help! We will be starting a new feature column focusing on the various offices within the divisions of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management. Each week we will “spotlight” a different office and provide you with information on the staff, where you can find the office, what services they offer, and anything else you need to know!

So make sure you pick up the next issue of The Charger Bulletin and read the first edition of the Student Affairs Spotlight!

Blast from the Past

By MICHELLE R. MORRA STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

Everyone remembers things from their childhood: like games and food.

Well if you enjoy getting to be a child again, then you should have joined SCOPE Day Programming on Monday, September 26 in the Quad for “Blast from the Past,” where you could have enjoyed giant games and fun food.

There were numerous giant games that students enjoyed playing with their friends. Do you remember the games Kerplunk, Checkers, Jenga, or Chess? Well they had all those and more. Students enjoyed playing gi-

ant Twister with a bunch of their friends, and it was hilarious watching people climbing over each other.

And Jenga made the entire Quad echo when somebody lost and the wood blocks fell. Everyone was having so much fun.

The other games they had were chess and checkers. These classic games had students thinking hard and keeping their brains on “their toes”, as they say.

And of course what child didn’t play Connect 4 when he or she was ten. It had to be the most popular game at the event. Some of the games were quick and others were so long that students were running out of tiles. Everyone was having a competitive and

fun time playing against each other.

Of course, what event is complete without food?

Cotton candy was seen all over campus because as they passed through the quad, students were getting their hands on some.

SCOPE was making cotton candy by the dozens and just couldn’t keep up with the demand.

All in all, the event was great, and students had a relaxing time having the chance to go back to their childhoods. Playing games was relaxing and students could walk away with a snack. Now this event makes me miss the good old days.

about the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to cover how the Internet is used to further these types of crimes.

An overall very valuable experience for all attendees, anyone interested in working with or who currently work with victims of sexual assault and violent crime would find this Symposium of great interest, including but not limited to attorneys, law enforcement, educators, students, and those employed in health care. In fact, this year’s program is especially designed for more people rather than just law enforcement. The Symposium is open to the public and is currently sponsored by the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven. Cost of the event will be $150,

but students can register for $75 with valid school identification.

This year’s speakers will include a variety disciplines. Dr. Henry Lee, who created the forensic science program at the University of New Haven in 1974 and is known for his assistance in many investigations, is one of the speakers.

Additionally, Michael M. Baden, a board certified forensic pathologist, Haskell M. Pitluck, a retired circuit court judge, Denny W. King, U.S. Marshal, Richard Walter, forensic psychologist, Donna Palomba, a victim of sexual assault, and Cristina Fernandez, the CyberTipline program manager in the Exploited Children Division at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will speak at the Symposium.

financial aid office

–––––––––––––––––––––

We’re back! The Financial Aid Office’s group of Federal Work Study student workers, also known as “The Feds,” is back and ready to start the new school year right. What are “The Feds?” They are a group of Federal Work Study students whose job is to keep UNH students informed about financial aid. We will be reaching out to students to answer their most pressing questions about financial aid and to keep everyone updated on important financial aid information, such as important deadlines.

My name is Shannon Tilly, and I am one of the Federal Work Study students working in the Financial Aid Office. I will be writing articles for the newspaper, along with making sure that important announcements are heard on the radio station. I will also be searching for outside scholarships for the different majors on campus and posting them in the financial aid office.

Marissa Lewis is also

–––––––––––––––––––––

a Federal Work Study student in the Financial Aid Office and will be primarily working on creating the flyers that will be posted in the different buildings on campus, along with the table top tents in the dining hall. She will also be assisting in the outside scholarship searches.

Erika Williams, the third Federal Work Study student working in the office, is in charge of updating the Financial Aid Facebook Group. Students can find us on Facebook by searching University of New Haven-Financial Aid Office. You can also e-mail The Feds at anytime at Feds@newhaven. edu. Please note this email address is monitored by students and personal information should not be sent here.

Financial aid? What does that mean? What do I have to do in order to receive financial aid from UNH? Where is the Financial Aid Office? How do I find out about scholarships? How will I be notified about what is going on in the Financial Aid Office? These are only a few of the frequently asked

questions by the current and perspective students of the University of New Haven, and we are here to give you the answers!

Students should keep an eye out for flyers that will be posted around campus with important information about financial aid.

For example, the Financial Aid Office will be putting up posters to remind UNH students of how important it is to file their FAFSA “on time” for the 2012-2013 academic year. Reminders will be sent out via e-mail, so it is very important that students regularly check their UNH e-mail. All financial aid communication will be sent to YOUR UNH e-mail, so feel free to forward the information to your parents!

If anyone has any questions regarding financial aid, our office is located in Maxcy Hall, Room 118B, so stop by and we will be happy to help you! You can also e-mail us regarding information you see in the newspaper, hear on the radio, see on posters or flyers around campus, or read on Facebook at anytime at Feds@newhaven.edu .

Then Cohen brought up problems that most roommates have: aspects such as not understanding each other, different sleeping habits, etc. The big one he said was being uncomfortable with each other. But to start to get along with people that you live with, you have to break the uncomfortable barrier. Cohen’s main point was that you have to learn to be comfortable with who you are first and not care what people think of you; you should not even care what you think of you. If you can become comfortable with whom you are and what you do, then you can break that uncomfortable barrier by doing something uncomfortable to break into being roommates. It is a concept some students liked and had other shaking their heads; but it is some good advice.

He continued to talk

about breaking the “uncomfortableness” and getting along with your roommates rather than avoiding them, and he also gave pointers on how to do that.

Cohen even went into the audience and asked about personal situations that audience members had with their roommates. They had a chance to talk about the problems, and Cohen wanted to hear about it and help.

Cohen ended his presentation with another song, that was again hilarious and made everyone laugh. He started off with a song and ended with a song, making it a good ending to great evening.

This presentation was both funny and helpful. I think the Comedy and Lecture Committee from SCOPE picked a great presenter to have come to campus.

Moammar Gadhafi is a name that brings fear and anger to the hearts of many Libyans. Gadhafi autocratically ruled Libya from 1969 until 2011 when the Libyan civil war brought him down. With a reign of 42 years, he is the longest ruling Arabic leader. However, the end of his reign brings a bittersweet feeling to many citizens.

Years ago, hundreds of citizens began disappearing…never to be heard from again. It is now believed that a mass grave containing over 1,200 human corpses has been discovered. The corpses are said to be Ghadafi’s prisoners dating back to a mass massacre in 1996.

of eager students ready to watch the movie on a big screen with surround sound; it was like sitting in the movie theaters.

Again this movie is about the fight between the Autobots (the good guys) and the Decepticons (the bad guys) trying to save their races and either find peace for their kind or try to enslave planet Earth; guess which characters want what. And again Earth is in the middle, and Sam Witwiky is helping to try and save it. In this movie, the Autobots and the Decepticons are fighting over a space craft found on the moon that might hold secrets to their

old planet and their fight.

While students were watching all the fantastic special effects and hearing all the jokes mixed in with all the fighting, they were enjoying the SCOPE made popcorn. The popcorn was buttery and just plain delicious. It was a great night with a great movie with fantastic effects and jokes all brought together with great popcorn. SCOPE shows a movie like this every week so students should be catching up on some summer movies, like Bad Teacher and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II coming up soon.

The excavation outside of Tripoli’s Abu Salim prison has not yet begun but what is to be found is clear.

Fragments are in plain view on the topsoil, outside of the prison. Family members can breathe in peace knowing where their loved ones’ remains lay.

On the other hand, they’re torn apart about the torture that they had to endure.

Many believe that these poor inmates had guards open fire on them after protesting the poor prison conditions and Gadhafi’s rule. Authorities say that the bodies were stored inside the prison for four years before being buried.

Family members were often banned from visiting their imprisoned family members; now it is clear as to why that was.

A major issue in this

situation is the lack of technology to exhaust the mass graves. According to a member of a committee based for discovering mass graves, Ibrahim Abu Shima, “We have no expertise with this; we need help to dig [and] to remove the corpses and remains without mixing them.”

Authorities are stressing to Libyan citizens to take great care when around the mass grave. Identifying the lost lives is definitely the top priority. Libya is calling for international help and funding in order to DNA test the remains.

This is one of 13 mass graves that have been found in Libya since Gadhafi went into hiding.

One can only imagine the amount that have yet to be discovered.

month even warned that, “units sometimes turn in such equipment without paperwork and have even removed identifying markings such as serial numbers to avoid retribution.”

The largest, and most expensive items, being left to the Iraqis would no doubt be the bases that were built. In 2005 alone, $1.2 billion dollars in base building contracts were signed, and this number definitely does not include all the bases that have been built before or after 2005.

Many forward operating bases are also being taken over by the Iraqis, and they come with everything – from water and fuel tanks to office equipment and dining facilities.

While forces have not yet evacuated a major base, people are wondering what the Iraqis will do with them. In 2009, when a military outpost was turned over to the Iraqis, it was looted within hours.

An Iraqi entrepreneur said to NPR that there is a thriving black market in U.S.

items. “The Americans turn over every base to the Iraqi army and police -- and they are all thieves,” he said Despite the vast takeover by the Iraqis, United States officials are not leaving everything behind. In the military’s biggest logistic effort in history, much of the most lethal and valuable military equipment is being shipped out. 1.5 million items have been removed over the past 12 months, and there are still approxi-

mately 800,000 that must still be sent home. Johnson, the spokesperson for U.S. forces in Iraq stated that, “It’s an enormous task, but we have no major concerns on our ability to meet the necessary timelines.”

The concern about the transfer of equipment is not that the Iraqis will get items that could be harmful, but it is more about the overwhelming loss that the United States will have.

Our government spends billions of dollars on this

war, and this transfer means that we will never see this money again. If the equipment was shipped home, we would be able to use it, and the value would not stop. Instead, the items are being handed over.

Essentially, our efforts and the billions of dollars spent, was used to fund the Iraqi military. Everything that we spent in Iraq was borrowed money, so we will still be paying for it long after we have completely evacuated.

Iraq, which is located dangerously close to the Iranian border Somehow they managed to stumble into Iranian territory. Iranian authorities found them, and they were jailed as US spies. While Sarah Shourd was lucky enough to have gotten out last year, Bauer and Fatal remained in prison until just last week.

Once they were finally released, Bauer and Fatal had a few statements to make to the world. They claimed that they may have accidentally stumbled into Iranian territory, but the Iranians had no grounds to arrest them.

Bauer explained that “no evidence was presented against [them] because

there was no evidence and [they] were completely innocent.” The only reason this happed , Bauer said, was because of “32 years of mutual hostilities between America and Iran.”

While spending years in prison, they lived in what Fattal called “a world of lies and false hopes.” They were allowed a short visit

from their mothers, fifteen minutes of phone calls, and a few letters from family members before being told their families had stopped writing, despite the fact they had not.

While Shourd was still there with them, she and Bauer were engaged.

As Bauer and Fattal return to the USA once

again, they are happily looking towards the future.

Bauer said “we want more than anything to begin our lives anew and with a new appreciation for the sweet taste of freedom.”

NYPD Can Shoot Down Planes, If Needed

By SARA J. DUFORT STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

With terrorism still a prevalent threat ten years after September 11, New York City is taking the necessary precautions in order to prevent another attack. In an interview on 60 Minutes, Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, says that city police could take down a plane if needed.

Previously, people believed that only the military had this ability, so this development has proven to be an interesting one.

While many people believe that this is an important ability for the police

Page 6

America in Need of a Change

to have, others have concerns.

When Ray Kelly was asked if the New York Police Department had the means to take down an aircraft, he replied, “Yes, I prefer not to get into the details but obviously this would be in a very extreme situation.” This spurred a great deal of interest, and after the show aired, a source expanded on the situation. This source told the New York Post that the weapon Kelly was referring to was a Barret .50 caliber rifle, which could be mounted to almost any police helicopter.

In response to questions from reporters, Mayor

Michael Bloomberg, said that, “The NYPD has lots of capabilities that you don’t know about and you won’t know about.”

This concerns people, including terrorism expert Maki Haberseld, at John Jay College in New York.

She believes that the president or an elected official should make these decisions. Since police chiefs are appointed by mayors, Haberseld said that it is a, “scary perspective that someone like a police chief would have this much discretion”.

Regardless of concerns, the New York Police Department states that the rifle would only be de-

dollars.

Unlike most Ponzi or Ponzi-type schemes, the ASD scheme was clever in disguising its true nefarious purpose. Unsuspecting internet users signed up as members for its autosurf services. They paid a membership fee and were required to view different advertised websites. Advertisers paid to have their websites included in the rotation of sites that members saw, and members were paid cash or credit to view the advertised sites.

ASD members were promised high returns on their membership fees for visiting the advertised sites for a few minutes a day as well as for referring others to ASD. In reality, membership returns were paid from the fees of later joining members and not from actual revenue. Because no business was being conducted to generate the promised returns, ASD would eventually collapse like a hollow pyramid -hence its name.

Luckily, federal authorities learned that ASD was a Ponzi in time, before ASD assets were dissipated. Under federal forfeiture statutes, au-

thorities timely instituted suit declaring that, since ASD assets were obtained through criminal activities, the assets belonged to the government. They seized cash from various bank accounts, real estate, luxury vehicles, watercraft, and computer equipment. Based on the amount seized, all ASD members should be fully compensated for their losses.

Pyramid or Ponzi-type schemes have been perpetrated on innocent investors since at least the 1850’s and probably much before. Such a scheme involving life insurance policies was described in Dicken’s The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit. Of course, Charles Pietro Ponzi lent his name to the notorious scheme of the 1920’s involving discounted postal reply coupons. His scheme brought down six New England banks and wiped out investors. They received less than 30 cents on the dollar. The victims of Bernie Madoff, the admitted operator of the largest Ponzi in history, fared little better. The reported, estimated losses to them totalled over $50 billion.

Since Sept. 17, hundreds of protestors have swarmed Manhattan, waving signs and marching through the streets, trying to win the fight against “Wall Street.” They belong to an organization called Occupy Wall Street, which is led by the activist magazine Adbusters. Organizers sent out a call to action for Sept. 17 and asked that protestors swarm Manhattan to set up camp for a two-month period, inspired by the protests in Egypt in January.

So far, there have been numerous arrests by the NYPD and a highly publicized pepper spray inciHis 150-year prison term dent involving a police ofwas, perhaps, cold-com- ficer and four women who fort to individual traders were sprayed, one tempowho modestly invested a few thousand dollars to the top-ten investors who suffered potential losses of $28 billion.

To date, the trusteee for the Madoff Ponzi has not issued compensation for investors’ losses. And, it must be questioned whether full compensation is possible given the magnitude of the scam. However, individual Madoff investors may have another recourse to recover losses beyond the trustee payout. IRS rulings permit taxpayers who experience losses from certain investment arrangements discovered to be criminally fraudulent (i.e., Ponzi-type schemes) to deduct such losses as theft of incomeChargerBulletin@newhaven.edu producing property. The losses are taken on Section B of Form 4684 and are carried over to Schedule A. For more information, see IRS Publication 17 at page 167, Revenue Ruling 2009-9 (04/06/2009), and Revenue Ruling 2009-20 (04/06/2009), all of which are available as free downloads at the IRS website (www.irs.gov).

In 1998, Patrick was diagnosed with MS. His doctor told him to take it easy and just take his medicine. Mr. Finney did not take this advice, and he returned to his regimen of moderate, daily running, which he had started in order to lose some weight. Patrick continued his running up until 2004,

at which point the disease had left him unable to walk. However, with the help of new medicines and therapy, Mr. Finney was able to stand once more, walk, and eventually run.

Patrick was quoted as saying, “The first year was a real struggle for me,” referring to his return to running. “I was going through a pair of running shoes every two weeks, because I

Hopefully, there will never be a need for a weapon like this. Society may be worried about the discretion given to the police department, but they have our best interests in mind. If there was a threat, it may be better for the police to have a weapon of this magnitude. To give the police the ability to shoot down a plane, may prevent another national tragedy from occurring.

Federal Authorities Returning Funds To Online Ponzi Scam Victims

By LYNN JENKINS, ESQ. STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

Federal authorities announced, on Monday, September 26, that $55 million would be returned to victims of an online Ponzi scam.

Under a federal remission program, the US Justice Department and the Secret Service will return these funds to the 8,400 investors of a Ponzi or Pyramid scheme ran by AdSurf Daily Inc. and its affiliates (ASD Cash Generator, La Fuente Dinero, and Golden Panda), know collectively as ASD. This particular Ponzi, which promised a 125150% return on investments, was operated by Thomas A. “Andy” Bowdoin, Jr. of Quincy, Florida and others out of a local flower shop. Bowdoin age 76 was federally indited in December 2010 on five counts of wire fraud, one count of securities fraud, and one count of unlawful sale of unregistered securities. His criminal case is ongoing. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 125 years in prison and fines of up to six million

The hundreds that have stayed, however, have certainly made their presence heard, marching up and down Wall Street on pedestrian walkways. Some protestors carry signs asking to end capitalism, some are looking to end the greed among banks and corporations, and others are protesting the low employment rates in the country.

Having completed a total of 71 marathons since 2006, Mr. Finney plans to run seven more by the year’s end. A friend of Finney said this of a hot, humid September day in Dallas. “Everyone was moaning and groaning about the weather except Patrick. He was smiling.

When someone asked why he wasn’t bothered by the weather, he replied, ‘I’m just so happy to be able to run.’”

Palestinian UN Bid

By ELIZABETH FIELD STAFF WRITER

–––––––––––––––––––––

On September 20, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas formally applied to the United Nations Security Council for official Palestinian Statehood.

And on September 28, the UN Security Council sent the bid to a special committee, established solely for this application’s consideration, which will assess and review it. This development in the Middle East could intensify negotiations and peace talks amongst Palestine and Israel.

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), representative of the people of Palestine, has had observer status at the UN since 1974; however, they have not had voting rights.

Ask anyone in Spain, and they will all say that bullfighting is one of the most legendary traditions in Spain that has influenced, moved, and enkindled the works of writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Paco Mateo as well as painters like Pablo Picasso and Francisco Goya, not to mention enticed the world of spectators, tourists, and avid fans to their arenas.

However, a regional ban has put an end to the timehonored tradition, at least in Catalonia, after 180,000 petition signatures were collected. Although the last bullfight occurred on Sept. 25 at Barcelona’s Monumental Bullring, this ban is set to take effect

some leverage in their ongoing negotiations.

Approximately six out of the 15 UN Security Council members have stated on record that they would support the Palestinian bid. Nine affirmative votes without any vetoes are required for the application to progress. United States officials have vowed to use the power of veto if the bid goes up for voting.

This should not be surprising given the U.S’s close relationship with Palestinian rival, Israel. President Barack Obama says that the only way for Palestinian statehood to become a reality is to return to negotiations with Israel.

Dr. Bassem Ezbidi, a political scientist, believes that the U.S. is unlikely to use the veto as they promised. He stated, “The U.S. will not use the veto unless they really have to do that. The U.S. will first try to exert some pressure

on other members. A U.S. veto will have disastrous consequences in the region. The Middle East is boiling, and the last thing the U.S. wants is to have another wave of hatred aimed at the Americans.”

Last week, the Middle East Quartet, made up of the United States, Russia, the European Union and the UN, issued a call for the Palestinians to return to peace talks with Israel. These talks ended last September after Israel allowed a moratorium on settlement construction to expire.

Ambassadors of both Israel and Palestine said that their governments would consider the possibility of negotiations and respond to the Quartet stance—which calls for negotiations to begin within one month and lays out a timeline to resolve outstanding issues for the ne

Nazi Spy in South America lies beat Germany in the war, the United States allowed the organization to remain open and collect information about the Soviet Union, also known as Russia.

The head of BND headquarters, Bodo Hechelhammer, had this to say about Rauff, “In hindsight, the recruitment of Walther Rauff is politically and morally incomprehensible,” as Natalia Drozdiak quoted in Reuters. In other words, he does not understand the motivation behind hiring Walter Rauff.

Rauff was paid by BND more than 70,000 Deutsche marks (about $18,000) for a mission he was assigned in Cuba. His mission was to spy on Fidel Castro, the then current dictator of Cuba. This involved changing his name to Enrico Gomez. However, he never completed this mission because he was denied entry into Cuba. He remained in Chile after-

wards, until 1960.

That year, he went back to Germany for BND training. He went back again in February of 1962, at which point he found out there was a warrant out for his arrest. Before Rauff had gone back, another former Nazi officer, Adolf Eichmann, was tried; Rauff’s name was mentioned in the trial.

Walter Rauff had evaded the authority in Germany yet again. Once he was back in South America, Chile more exactly, the police there arrested him for his crimes in Germany. They were going to send him back to Germany to be tried for his crimes, however, because of a 15 year statute in Chile, Rauff only stayed in prison for a few months before being released from custody. He then died in 1984, never facing justice for his crimes against society.

Carlos Nuñez, President of Spain’s Mesa del Toro pro-bullfighting umbrella group, would like to see bullfighting return. He, like others, admits that bullfighting can be seen as vicious, but nevertheless accepts and respects the sport that many have grown up with and that many have embraced as a symbol of not only Spanish heritage and custom, but also of bravery and, ultimately, freedom: “Banning bullfighting in Catalonia is nothing more than an attack on liberty. It’s the fruit of policies in Catalonia against bullfighting and all that is seen to represent Spain. ” Currently, Catalonia stands as one of seventeen areas in Spain to outlaw bullfighting.

Do Nazis still exist today? This particular one existed until 1984. He participated in World War II and created a mobile gas chamber known as the “Gas Van,” as a Jewish newspaper called it. His name was Walter (Walther in German) Rauff; he was a high ranking Nazi officer. Rauff fled, as an Allied prisoner of war camp, to West Germany after the war and was responsible for approximately 90,000 murders in Germany. While he was in West Germany he was recruited into BND. BND is an acronym for the German words Bundes Nachrichten Dienst, which translates into “Federal Intelligence Service.”

This organization was established while Hitler was dictator of Germany, however, when the Al-

Catalonia Says Goodbye to Bullfighting

beginning Jan.1, 2012.

Elisabeth Barcelo, an animal rights activist, has supported the ban as an end to the abuse of bulls: “Bulls are not aware of what they do, but people are. So I don’t like it. It’s torturing an animal. It doesn’t make any sense to me.” Consistent with this, Leonardo Anselmi hopes that other areas will take notice and follow suit: “It’s like a crack has developed in the armor plating [of bullfighting]. It’s a small crack but the protective shield might crumble altogether.”

While this ban comes at the heels of fervent animal rights activists, many speculate that the economy is just one of the things that have plagued the epic sport. In fact, tickets for

bullfights are so expensive that people have stopped

attending as a result. According to npr.org, attendance has plummeted in recent years from 2,622 in 2007 to 1, 724 in 2010.

Sources say that there is not enough money to buy wholesome, sturdy bulls.

In turn, the bulls that are affordable must be spurred

Coupled with this, politics is also being blamed for Catalonia’s opposition to bullfighting. “Bullfighting is the history of Spain. It’s the tradition in Spain.

lated.

This revelation sparked a police investigation that led to seven arrests. Four of these arrests were students in college, having been accepted to the schools they applied to with the fraudulent scores. Two more were currently seniors at Great Neck North, and the last of the seven was Eshaghoff himself. It is unclear at this point whether Eshaghoff took the test for any other students; none have come forward yet.

Aside from the criminal charges, the four college students as well as Eshag-

hoff will almost certainly be permanently dismissed from their schools. The two high school students will most likely also be expelled.

Now, security at standardized tests around the country is being increased at an alarming rate. It is still being questioned as to whether the Long Island cheating ring involved more students that have yet to be caught. Other school districts nationwide are also expected to launch their own investigations, now that there has been a precedent.

Issues don’t usually fix themselves, so don’t count on that happening and instead take matters into your own hands. Second, you may have noticed above that I said head to ChargerConnection to post your concerns

are walking in or out of a building, take a few seconds to look behind you.

Is there someone there?

If so, hold the door for that person. It sounds like common sense, but I can’t tell you how many times I have seen people just walk through doors, letting the door close on someone else. It’s rude, and it takes two seconds to be courteous to people walking behind you. That being said, I’ve also seen people who are carrying things have the door closed on them. Be aware of who is walking behind you. In addition to that, if someone does hold a door open

for you, remember to say thank you, because it’s also rude to ignore the gesture.

hold the elevator, ignoring them just isn’t very polite just because you want to ride the elevator alone.

Also, if you see someone running to catch the elevator, while the door is closing on them, simply pressing the button would open the elevator for him or her (unless you’re in Soundview, in the one elevator whose “open door” button doesn’t properly function). Of course we all like to avoid those awkward elevator silences from the first floor to the fifth floor, but that doesn’t mean that disregarding people is the way to go.

Additionally, if you happen to be the person standing by the elevator buttons, break the silence and

ask everyone what floor they are going to. This will end the awkwardness and will avoid the situation of people reaching over other people just to push a button.

My final complaint involves students actually walking around campus.

When using the sidewalks, try to imagine them as a two way street. If you and your friends are taking up the entire sidewalk, try to remember to move over to one side if people are coming from the other direction. No one should be pushed off of the sidewalk into the street or even muddy grass because you refuse to make room.

This occurs daily, especially during the period when classes finish and

new ones begin. Stay to one side of the sidewalk and make room for others as they walk the opposite direction. Additionally, if you do find yourself being a sidewalk hog, be courteous and move to the side to let people pass. Bumping into other people is rude, especially if you refused to move and expected them to walk in the street for you.

To conclude, please remember to be considerate of others, because people like me really do appreciate it. Hold doors and elevators for people and stay on your own side of the sidewalk.

It took them three weeks to do what professional scientists had been working on for years.

The value of harnessing public participation through games and projects is not lost on the scientific community. Hundreds of project websites can now be found with a simple Google search. Scientific American recently added an entire section to its website devoted to citizen science. And yet science literacy remains low among non-scientists. The National Science Foundation concluded in a 2006 report that “most citizens do not have a firm grasp of basic scientific facts and concepts, nor do they have an understanding of the scientific process. In addition, belief in pseudo-

science seems to be widespread, not only in the United States but in other countries as well.”

A low level of literacy matters. Take this year's Republican candidates.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann was roundly repudiated by scientists and pundits after she claimed to have met a woman who said her son's mental retardation was caused by the HPV vaccine. Texas Gov. Rick Perry made his illiteracy known on several occasions, with dubious comments about both evolution and climate change.

These people want to be president. They already command high offices, where they no doubt deal with science-related subjects on a daily basis.

“There are 435 people in the House and 420 don’t know much about science and choose not to.”

Ultimately, though, it is the voters who elect leaders. They can't possibly hold politicians to account about science without first understanding it themselves. Citizen science may be a way to close the knowledge gap, if incentives are put in place to raise its profile and spur interest. That's why an award, given once a year at an ostentatious ceremony, should be established for an individual or group who contributes significantly to the advancement of science.

No such award currently exists. Groups that organize citizen science have prizes, but the citiSpeaking about Con- zens themselves have no gress on WNPR's “Where reward other than fulfillWe Live,” Princeton Phys- ing their passions for disicist and New Jersey Rep. covery.

Rush Holt recently noted, Rewarding citizen sci-

ence would break down one more perceived barrier between the “elite” researchers and everyone else. Recognition is known to be a driving force among professional scientists. Their careers are built on getting their names published and receiving awards from their colleagues. We expect scientists to want these rewards. Why wouldn't anyone else want the same thing?

Introducing competition could have added benefits for scientific literacy.

Science works because its core dynamics—not its methods or techniques per se—are rooted in pitting intellects against one another,” said Thomas W. Martin, an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett Honors College at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz. in an essay (that, incidentally, won an award) for Seed magazine in 2007.

“Science eventually yields impressive answers because it compels smart people to incessantly try to disprove the ideas generated by other smart people.”

The MNARS paper took a small step toward rewarding the volunteers from Planet Hunters by giving them the status of co-authors. It's a small, but rarely taken, step. Most importantly, perhaps, is the fact that citizen scientists may end up making huge contributions in the coming years. As Astronomer Phil Plait wondered on his “Bad Astronomy” blog: “Will the first exoEarth be found by a professional astronomer, or instead by some science enthusiast who decided one day to check out this Planet Hunters thing?”

It's a question we should all be seriously considering.

As you walk around campus and spend time in the various academic and student buildings, how many times have you come across someone who was being inconsiderate to someone else? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, maybe you are the inconsiderate one. Don’t think so, then think again.

Maybe you do things that you do not consider inconsiderate, but in reality they are both rude and sometimes even obnoxious.

Two new planets outside our solar system were discovered using data from NASA's Kepler telescope, not by scientists.

The discoverers were citizen scientists participating in an online project called Planet Hunters, which was set up specifically to allow members of the public to sift through Kepler's information. Six of these volunteers were listed as authors in the Sept. 22 paper about the planets, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The Planet Hunters are only the latest in a series of non-scientists who've made important contributions to science. A team of video-gamers playing a competitive protein-folding simulation game called Foldit also in September

Cards Rally Against Lee, Even NLDS at a Game Each

By ROB MAADDI ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jon Jay flipped the catcher. Ryan Theriot withstood a hard takeout slide. Albert Pujols gutted it out on an injured heel.

These feisty St. Louis Cardinals aren’t backing down from the mighty Philadelphia Phillies.

Pujols hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning after Cliff Lee blew a four-run lead, and the Cardinals rallied for a 5-4 win Sunday night to even their NL playoff matchup at one game each.

Down early, Jay jolted Carlos Ruiz on a bruising play at the plate. Jay was out, ending the fourth inning. The Phillies, however, couldn’t block the Cardinals’ path to victory.

“It’s the playoffs, we’re not going to quit,” Jay said. “We played hard, we fought hard and we came back and were able to win.”

The NLDS shifts to St. Louis for Game 3 on Tuesday. Cole Hamels will be the third straight All-Star pitcher to face the Cardinals, who’ll send Jaime Garcia to the mound.

The wild-card Cardinals, who got into the postseason only after the

Phillies beat Atlanta in Game 162, got the split they were looking for on the road against the team that had the best record in the majors.

Lee hardly looked like the guy who used to be so dominant in the postseason. He gave up five runs and 12 hits, striking out nine in six-plus innings, to lose his third straight playoff start.

“I wasn’t able to make my pitches, so I take full responsibility,” Lee said.

Pitching on three days’ rest for the first time in his career, Chris Carpenter struggled for the Cardinals — but one reliever after another did the job for manager Tony La Russa.

Six Cardinals relievers combined to toss six shutout innings, allowing just one hit. Jason Motte finished for a four-out save.

“We’ve been doing this all year. We don’t give up,” Motte said. “People counted us out, (but) we kind of went out there and just kept playing hard.”

After chipping away for a few innings, the Cardinals took the lead in the seventh. Allen Craig led off with a triple off center fielder Shane Victorino’s glove. A three-time Gold Glove winner, Victorino misplayed the ball. He had to go a long way to make

the catch, but overran it and the ball bounced off his glove.

Pujols, who struck out in his previous two at-bats, lined a single over drawnin shortstop Jimmy Rollins to give St. Louis a 5-4 lead.

Cardinals players jumped up and cheered wildly in the dugout, while Phillies fans sat silently in disbelief. The red-clad faithful had their hearts broken already once Sunday.

Just a few hours earlier, the Eagles blew a 20-point lead and lost 24-23 to the San Francisco 49ers in an NFL game across the street.

Many fans walked over to watch the two-sport doubleheader, and the crowd of 46,575 was the largest in the eight-year history of Citizens Bank Park.

For a while, it seemed the Phillies had this one under control.

After all, Lee is one of the best postseason pitchers in history, and he was 17-9 with a 2.40 ERA and a major league-best six shutouts this season.

Lee was 7-0 with a 1.26 ERA in his first eight playoff starts — 4-0 with the Phillies in 2009 — before losing Games 1 and 5 of the World Series to

the San Francisco Giants as a member of the Texas Rangers last year.

He’s 0-3 with a 7.13 ERA in the last three outings.

On a chilly night when game-time temperature was 50 degrees, Lee was the only starter in short sleeves.

Maybe he got cold.

“Any time I got a 4-0 lead in the first or second, I feel I have the game well in hand,” Lee said.

Clinging to a 4-3 lead, Lee got the first two outs in the sixth. Then Theriot lined a two-out double to left and Jay followed with an opposite-field single to left. Theriot slid home safely ahead of Raul Ibanez’s high throw to tie it at 4.

Down 4-0, the Cardinals started their rally in the fourth. Berkman walked and Yadier Molina hit a one-out infield single.

Theriot sliced an RBI double down the right-field line and Jay followed with an RBI single to get St. Louis within 4-2.

Jay advanced to second on the throw to the plate, and Carpenter was pulled for pinch-hitter Nick Punto. Lee fired a 92 mph fastball by Punto for the second out.

But Rafael Furcal followed with a line-drive

single to left. Theriot scored and Jay came rumbling around the bases.

Ibanez made a perfect one-hop throw and the ball arrived along with Jay. He slammed into Ruiz, his left forearm knocking the stocky catcher backward.

But Ruiz held to temporarily prevent the tying run from scoring. Lee, backing up the plate, pumped his fist while Ruiz calmly picked up his mask and jogged to the dugout.

“I was hoping that throw to the plate would shift momentum to our side,” Phils manager Charlie Manuel said.

Carpenter, the 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner, allowed four runs and five hits in three innings. It was the shortest outing of the season for Carpenter, who led the NL with 237 1-3 innings pitched this year.

The bullpen bailed him out.

Fernando Salas retired all six batters he faced, and Octavio Dotel set down five in a row. Marc Rzepczynski gave up a two-out single to Rollins in the seventh, ending a streak of 15 straight batters retired.

Rzepczynski left after hitting Chase Utley to start Philadelphia’s eighth.

Mitchell Boggs came in and got Hunter Pence to ground into a forceout. Ar-

thur Rhodes replaced him and struck out Ryan Howard. Then it was Motte’s turn.

Both teams had issues with plate umpire Jerry Meals, and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa criticized the strike zone during the telecast.

“It’s not a great comment to make, but I was upset,” La Russa said.

“I’ve never had a problem with Jerry before ever.”

Crew chief Jerry Layne deferred comment to Joe Torre, Major League Baseball’s executive vice president of baseball operations or Peter Woodfork, the senior vice president of baseball operations.

“My job is to make sure that I have no comment,” Layne said. “It’s only right that Major League Baseball is informed of what’s going on, and if there’s really a comment that should be made, it should come out of Joe Torre or Peter Woodfork. That’s why they’re in the titles that they carry.”

The Phillies, who overcame a 3-0 first-inning deficit in Game 1, took a 3-0 lead in the first in this one.

The Ravens (3-1) held the Jets (2-2) to 150 yards and seven first downs in taking over sole possession of first place in the AFC North.

“The best defensive effort I thought I had ever seen or the most amazing defensive performance I thought I’d ever seen was the Pittsburgh game with seven turnovers,” coach John Harbaugh said, referring to Baltimore’s season-opening 35-7 rout. “But this topped it. That’s pretty impressive, to say the least.”

What made it even better was that it came against Ryan, who served 10 years with the Ravens until taking the Jets job before the 2009 season.

“He created this and now he has to deal with us,” Johnson said.

“It was fun.”

Not so for Ryan.

“I’ve been around football a long time and I’ve never seen anything like that,” Ryan said. “The performance by their defense was spectacular. They were coming after us.

That’s a Ravens defense. It reminded me of the 2000

and 2006 defenses.” for 35 for 119 yards, and Next up for the Jets: A the only score he produced

en straight to the Ravens, the last two with Ryan on the Jets sideline. New York’s touchdowns came on a 107-yard kickoff return by Joe McKnight and a 35-yard interception return by David Harris.

The Ravens got 17 points off three fumbles

by Sanchez to take a 27-7 lead in the second quarter, and although the Jets cut the gap to 10, they were unable to complete the comeback.

“We all had our share in this loss,” Sanchez said.

“I’m fine pointing out my mistakes; as far as my mistakes, I’ll take the blame for it.”

The Jets came out trying to pass. In hindsight, it might not have been a good idea.

“The passing game early in the season has been doing pretty well,” tight end Dustin Keller said.

“We’re a run first team and without that, we can’t do what we want to do. So we have to correct that.”

Plaxico Burress, who had three catches for 33 yards, said, “We’ll be fine.

I’ve been through this before, where you lose a couple games in a row. We’ll come out Wednesday focused on winning in New

England.”

Down 27-17, New York got the ball on the Baltimore 27 after Joe Flacco fumbled when Jets linebacker Aaron Maybin picked up his first career sack.

On the next play, Webb picked off a pass by Sanchez intended for Santonio Holmes on the right sideline and sprinted into the end zone with 8:49 left in the third quarter.

Game over.

“There is no need to panic right now,” Burress said. “There is too much football left.”

Notes: Ravens LB Sergio Kindle made his NFL debut after missing all last season with a fractured skill and being inactive for the first three games this year. ... Jets LB Bryan Thomas hurt his ankle in the first quarter and did not return. LB Garrett McIntyre hurt his head in the second quarter. ... Baltimore has won 12 of its last 13 at home. ... The Ravens are 19-1 when scoring at least 30 points under offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. ... Flacco went 10 for 31 for 163 yards.

His 37.4 QB rating was only slightly higher than Sanchez’s 30.5.

Ravens Score Three TDs on Defense to Beat Jets 34-17

by DAVID GINSBURG ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens have a week off to savor their latest win over Rex Ryan.

Ryan, on the other hand, can’t lament this defeat for long because he and the New York Jets have got another grudge match coming up.

Baltimore scored three touchdowns off turnovers

by Mark Sanchez in a 3417 victory Sunday night.

The win was the perfect way to end the first quarter of the season and head into a bye week.

“We’re going to watch the tape, note the mistakes, get better and get prepared for the next game,” safety Ed Reed said.

Baltimore’s three scores on defense were the most in franchise history.

Jameel McClain took a fumble by Sanchez 6 yards for a touchdown on New York’s first offensive play, Jarret Johnson scored on a 26-yard fumble return and Lardarius Webb put the Ravens up by 17 points in the third quarter by taking an interception 73 yards into the end zone.

Andy Rooney Ends ‘60 Minutes’ Run of 33 Years

ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Rooney insisted he’s not retiring. He’s a writer, and a writer never stops being a writer.

Even so, he delivered his final weekly essay on “60 Minutes” Sunday night, his last in his 33 years with the newsmagazine. It was a moment, he said he has dreaded.

By DAVID GERMAIN

“I wish I could do this forever. I can’t, though,” he said.

CBS News announced last week that the 92-year-old Rooney would be stepping down from his well-entrenched berth on “60 Minutes” after delivering his 1,097th commentary.

“I probably haven’t said

anything here that you

“There’s just something about a dolphin,” said Jeff Goldstein, general sales manager for Warner Bros.

“It just looks interesting, and it looks wholesome and compelling and fun.”

The three holdover films held off a rush of new wide releases. In a photo finish for the No. 4 spot were Summit Entertainment’s cancer comic drama “50/50,” starring Joseph GordonLevitt and Seth Rogen, with $8.85 million and Sony’s Christianthemed police drama “Courageous” with $8.8 million.

Debuting at No. 6 with $8.2 million was Universal’s “Dream House,” a fright flick starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts. The weekend’s other new wide release, the 20th Century Fox romantic comedy “What’s Your Number?” starring Anna Faris and

Chris Evans, flopped at No. 8 with $5.6 million.

It was an unusual weekend when carry-over films continued to rule the market, with family crowds particularly strong.

“Normally, fall is when

not as a television personality, but as “a writer who reads what he’s written.”

Rooney said in his farewell piece that he has lived a lucky life, luckier than most. But befitting his trademark crotchety nature, he voiced one parting complaint: He doesn’t like being famous, nor does he like being bothered by fans.

“I spent my first 50 years trying to become well known as a writer, and

the next 30 trying to avoid being famous,” he said. “I walk down the street now or go to a football game and people shout, ‘Hey, Andy!’ And I hate that.”

In limited release, a long-delayed film with “True Blood” star Anna Paquin failed to find much of an audience. “Margaret,” starring Paquin as a teen caught in a moral crisis over her culpability in a fatal traffic accident, pulled in a scant $7,496 from two theaters, averaging $3,748 a cinema.

‘Dolphin’ Deposes ‘Lion’ with $14.2M to Grab No. 1

ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A dolphin has dethroned “The Lion King” at the weekend box office.

The Warner Bros. family film “Dolphin Tale” held up well with $14.2 million in its second weekend to take the No. 1 spot from “The Lion King,” the Disney reissue that had been the top movie for the past two weekends.

“The Lion King” slipped to third place with $11.1 million, just behind Sony’s Brad Pitt baseball tale “Moneyball,” which was No. 2 in its second weekend with $12.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“Dolphin Tale” features Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman in a real-life story about strangers who team up to help an injured dolphin.

The movie had debuted a week earlier at No. 3, closely behind “The Lion King” and “Moneyball,” but it earned good wordof-mouth that kept fans

“Dolphin Tale” raised its total to $37.5 million, while “Moneyball” lifted its domestic haul to $38.5 million. “The Lion King” has pulled in $79.7 million in its 3-D re-release, adding to the nearly $800

'Arrested Development' Announces New Show, Movie

By EMILY FREDRIX ASSOCIATED PRESS

–––––––––––––––––––––

NEW YORK (AP) — The Bluth family's frozen banana stand may be back in business.

At an "Arrested Development" reunion Sunday at the New Yorker Festival, the creators and cast announced plans for a new TV show that spins off the short-lived but critically acclaimed TV show, which went off the air in 2006 after just three sea-

sons. They also discussed more concrete plans for a much-awaited movie.

Creator Mitchell Hurwitz said the spinoff will feature nine or ten episodes focusing on each character and leading up to the movie. The first scene of the movie will be all the characters reunited.

The Fox show, which suffered low ratings despite its rabid fan base, starred Jason Bateman, Michael Cera and Portia de Rossi. They played

members of a dysfunction-

frozen banana stand.

Shooting for the TV show is tentatively set to begin next summer.

The movie doesn't have a release date, Hurwitz said, adding that the creative aspects have been largely worked out, but the business side is still being negotiated.
