BY MOLLY MITCHELL ANTELOPE STAFF WRITER

The band Simple Plan did not create their new album “Still Not Getting Any…” to impress you. Nor did the band make the CD to impress the critics. Band members even love the fact that some people simply hate Simple Plan. Only when you are this carefree and independent can you create a truly raw album, and Simple Plan has done so. In fact, the band’s freshman album “No Pads, No Helmets ....Just Balls” was highly criti- cized by the “true punk” fans. It was said to be way to punk-pop. It was compared to the bubblegum punk-groups such as Green Day when they first arrived on the music scene.

BY JILL WOOLSEY ANTELOPE STAFF WRITER

After a winning streak of 74 days and more than $2.5 million, computer software engineer Ken Jennings returns to a normal life with his family back in Salt Lake City. On Dec.1, Jennings was no longer the reining champion of the game show voted all-time favorite, JEOPARDY! Jennings first appeared on JEOPARDY! June 2, and he probably never thought he would make it as far as he did. This event would have also never taken place in history if the rules did not change. JEOPARDY! removed its rule of only five appearances for a contestant last year, mak- ing it possible for a contestant to continue playing as long as he or she won. The decision brought the network’s ratings up 22 percent over the same period last year (jeopardy.com). Nancy Zerg became the new champion of JEOPARDY! after Jennings incorrectly asked “What is Fed Ex?” to the final JEOPARDY question. The cor- rect answer was, “What is H&R Block?” Zerg, a former actress who lives in Ventura, Calif., said she psyched herself up before the game by repeating to herself: “Someone’s got to beat him sometime, it might as well be me” (CNN.com). Jennings became the high- est-earning player ever on a quiz show, beating Michigan engineer Kevin Olmstead, who won $2.2 million in 2001 on ABC’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Jennings had an average daily winning of $34,064, defeating 130 challengers and giving 2,642 correct answers out of 2,881 attempted. Jennings, as well as Zerg, believes that no one will ever break that record. His new-found celebrity status snagged him a spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Show with David Letterman and ABC’s World News Tonight. Jennings plans on taking a leave from his job for awhile and going on a family vacation. With the money he has accu- mulated Jennings would be able to take a permanent leave from his job, but that does not appear to be an option for him. Not only has JEOPARDY! had celebrities on the show, they have created a celebrity in Ken Jennings. Now all we can do is sit and wait for another over-the- top achiever to set a streak and break a new record – if at all possible.
