I sat there for an hour watching what might have been the saddest game show ever. Not because it sucked, but because of the people on it. The show I stopped on was Deal When I was a kid, I remember getting up around 10 a.m. every morning or No Deal. The host, Howie Manjust so I could rip the blanket off my del, did a good job. He's no Bob, bed, run down the hall and curl up but still entertaining. The game was in front of the TV, watching the best good.

Last week, one guy had a 33 percent chance of ending with $750,000, $10,000, or $500, and the offer to buy him out was $261,000. Instead of leaving with a quarter of a million dollars, this Einstein kept on going. What did he leave with? $92,000. What an idiot! These people get so greedy that this is the case with nearly every contestant. By the time the show's over, you just want to smack every player in the face. After seeing what could have been a good idea for a game show turn into a bad display of greed, I'm vowing to stick with Bob Barker. No game show, no matter how good the host, will ever add up to the multidecade running The Price is Right.

Utah Regional Ballet is nationally known for its breathtaking signature piece "Legend of Timpanogos," the tragic love story between Native Americans Ucanogos and Timpanac that is told to represent the mountain skyline rising above Utah Valley. The skyline is said to resemble the outline of a royal body of Ucanogos prepared for her death ceremony. Now that you know UVSC has an in-house ballet, support the arts and your fellow students. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar, divided 1 cup cold butter, cut up 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 4 large eggs, beaten , ' 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon extract Sound of Silver sounding more golden New release by acclaimed discopunk outfit aims for aesthetics Photo credits/greenpeaness.org James Murphy: the man behind LCD Soundsystem. Chad Hunt Life Writer Only two months into the year, 2007 looks to be very promising in regards to music. Especially music that has the ability to get people's feet moving and their heads bobbing. Sound of Silver, the upcoming release by LCD Soundsystem, is shaping up to be a major staple in dance albums being produced this year. LCD Soundsystem is the side project of James Murphy, co-founder of Death From Above (DFA) Records. Sound of Silver is the follow-up record to the 2005 self-titled release that made everybody want Daft Punk SUBARU playing at their house. LCD Soundsystem *s Sound of Silver will be released through DFA/Capitol. It won't hit stores until Mar. 20 in the United States. The record, however, leaked out onto the internet months ago, and numerous fans have already put in a few good listens to the album. Those who want to get a preview, but not just a pirate copy, can still get a tas^e of what's on the new album on the band's website. This new effort by Murphy is a standout, sporting tracks that could have been on the self-titled album as well as new standouts that are sure to perk up a lot of ears. Must-here tracks on Silver include "North American Scum", which is the first single from the record, "All My Friends", and "Someone Great." "Someone Great" was extracted directly from a 45-minute track Murphy put together for Nike and iTunes, aptly titled 45:33, in 2006. Despite being a wellput-together release, Sound of Silver does have a few tracks that quickly become mundane and overly repetitive. , One track in particular, the opener "Get Innocuous", lives up to this critique. It fails to catch the listener's interest throughout its seven-minute plus duration. Murphy and the sound system are in full force on this sophomore effort. He continues expanding his sound on the album, sampling from other influential artists like Bowie, Talking Heads and New Order. Sound of Silver is possibly one of the most anticipated dance/disco/ punk albums of the year. In support of the new release, Murphy and his tour band are headed out in March, hitting a number of major cities in England, Western Europe and the United States. Dates and venues can be found online; as can clips of the new album, Sound of Silver, on the LCD Soundsystem website, lcdsoundsystem.com L ^ l ^ fire in hen specialist.
