Until Fourth of July weekend, the state of the American music festival had come into serious question.
Rampant arrests plagued the recent Bonnaroo festival. Thievery ran throughout the fairgrounds, and no less than ten vehicles were carjacked from 'Roo. And, of course who could forget the infamous Kanye West set, almost a day late and definitely a dollar short.

Since opening night "The Dark Knight" has become the top grossing four-day opener of all time (the highest weekend gross). It has sold about 23 million tickets and already sits atop the Internet Movie Database top 250 films list.

Every semester, students empty their bank accounts or take out loans to pay MTSU thousands of dollars to attend school. Most students do not ask where their money is going because it's usually assumed that you're paying for a college education.
However, now that there is a 6 percent tuition increase for the upcoming school year, students are starting to wonder, where does my tuition go?
"I assume my tuition goes to classes and education but I never really questioned the issue because I just knew to go to college you have to pay," says Kyla Holder, a sophomore interior design major.

It's a summer tradition in many beach and boardwalk towns: you buy the kids a hermit crab in a brightly painted shell, take it home, and then, usually, it dies. You figure they don't live very long, and move on.

Hand sanitizer. USB flash drive. Magenta Sharpie. Clean socks. Quick - what do they have in common?
Answer: They're probably going to be in your kid's pencil case when fall comes around.
