In 2003, a small band from Little Rock, Ark. led by raven-haired singer Amy Lee landed a space on the "Daredevil" movie soundtrack. The movie would prove to be terrible, but it launched the band into superstardom overnight.

As members of the LGBT and allies community, we want to voice our concern about two recent incidents that occurred last week on campus.
After over 30 years, venerable Manhattan music club CBGB's closed on Sunday. The club, which opened on 315 Bowery in the Village in 1973, was instrumental in establishing New York's punk and new-wave scenes of the late 1970s and early 1980s, as well as the American hardcore scene of the mid- and late '80s.
Yesterday's Arts article entitled, "Berklee connects with Darfur," contained two instances of editorial oversight. The first occurred in the article's fourth paragraph where the author lists the names of seven members of the Berklee College of Music who participated in the committee to select the 16 songs that appeared on the college's "We Are All Connected" benefit CD; a phrase was deleted that would have made it clear that those seven people were not the only members of the committee. The second instance occurs where the author refers to Lynette Gittens as the assistant director for Berklee City Music Programs; she is, in fact, the associate director.
The dream is over.
It could have been a much more disappointing weekend for the Jumbos at the Wallach Invitational this weekend, were it not for some unanticipated performances.

From Jeff Suppan pitching eight shutout innings in Game Three, to nobody knowing how to get Endy Chavez out, we're quite tired of watching the JV league championship. So we came up with a list of ten things we would willingly turn our TV dials to instead.
Five years into the Lawrence S. Bacow Era at Tufts, there is mostly good news to report from the hill. Indeed, President Bacow deserves more than just "a little credit" for the improvements over the past few years.
The good news is that, among Northeast Asian capital cities, I'm in the safest one by far. The better news is that I might have front-row seats to World War III.
The 2005 NESCAC men's soccer season had a little bit of everything: a seemingly untouchable defending champion, some midseason reshuffling and, best of all, a Cinderella story.
On its way to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, the 2005-2006 men's basketball team set a new program record with 23 wins. Its 23-6 mark broke a 33-year-old record that dated back to the 1972-73 team.
Just three weeks ago, the football team kicked off its 2006 season with a decisive win, blowing out Hamilton, 17-0, in front of a home crowd at Zimman Field.
On Nov. 2, 2004, over five and a half million citizens of California voted to give George W. Bush a second presidential term. Among their number were lawyers, CEOs, retirees and students; one of them was the governor. They outnumbered the populations of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, Alaska, South Dakota, Delaware and Montana combined, and the sum of their bank accounts could probably have purchased several small countries. They mailed ballots and assembled at polls in order to support the most powerful man in the world on what may have been the single most important day of his life.
