Councilman MikeK Recalls Knievel Action Figure
Also, Huckleberries has attracted about 2,085,000 page-views through the first 11 months of 2007, compared to 1.13M at this time last year. So HBO has almost doubled viewership in the last 12 months. Sportslink, the combined sports blog, came into its own this month by attracting more than 300,000 page-view -- an average of over 10,000 per day.

Josh Groban's 'Noel' Stands To Mary J. Blige's Bow
Now married and drug-free, hers is a rags-to-riches story, and as a song on the album expresses, she's still a "Work in Progress." Blige has sold over 40 million albums worldwide and was recently featured on CNN's Heroes Awards. There's not much more for the Queen to conquer, but the star is still moving up, having invested in a beauty products company, Carol's Daughter, and owning her own label, Matriarch Records, distributed by Geffen Records. .
Blog: Software 3DMark Makers Creating Game, Hot Graphics Promised
In recent years, Futuremark's 3DMark benchmark has been a utility not only to measure the performance of PC hardware, but it's also been a tool to help show off the latest in graphics technology. Many times after viewing 3DMark's manufactured game demo benchmarks, which simulate different game genres such as first-person shooters and racers, I often wondered what would happen if the talent behind the 3DMark demo would apply its technology to a full PC game. Late last month, Futuremark announced that it intends to pursue game development with the formation of Futuremark Game Studios. The new company is already working on a PC title that features the latest technologies while also promising that its game will run on modest systems. Interestingly enough, Futuremark itself was born out of game developer talent.
Student Bands ‘Masquerock’
Beer and Butterfingers usually amount to a mediocre Thursday night, but as counterparts to the first-annual Masquerock at Quincy, they seemed to set a different tone.
There were Halloween jack-o-lanterns aplenty—and even a Great Pumpkin dedicated to a certain UC representative who failed to provide a proper speaker system. Despite the shoddy amps and microphones, a campy sense of fun settled over the Quincy Collective and the three Harvard-based bands that celebrated the whole point of Halloween: dressing up like somebody else. In this case, the bands donned the appropriate costumes to present covers of rock bands Third Eye Blind, and Nirvana.
Buoyed by the enthusiasm of “emcee" and Crimson Executive Abraham J.R. Riesman '08, the Quincy Cage (in the basement of Quincy House) became the epicenter for indie rock enthusiasts at Harvard eager for free beer and music.
'Top Model' quitter Ebony Morgan: I was so over the whole reality ...
"I just did not want to be there anymore. I really didn't have a desire for it. At that point, I didn't really care about being America's Next Top Model," Morgan told reporters during a Thursday conference call. "I didn't really care half as much as the other girls did, so I didn't think it would be fair for me to stay there if I really didn't care for it as much... I just realized that wasn't my passion and I was so over the whole reality show thing." The 20-year-old Chicago, IL nursing student's decision to quit Top Model 9 had also apparently been on her mind for quite some time. .
