When students lined up for Fall Fest in 2010, they had no idea who Bruno Mars was. But by the end of Mars' set, he had become a crowd pleaser, serenading women in the audience with his hit songs "Grenade" and "Just The Way You break." But many fail to realize how multifaceted Mars' contribution to the music industry has been over the last few years. Pop music has had a marred image, but Mars serves as a reminder that there is still someone in the music industry that cares about where the music comes from and how it's made. He has co-wrote many hit songs for other artists and, in the process, has found a way to create a musical fusion of his own. Do you like the catchy lyrics and tune to CeeLo Green's hit song "Forget You?" Mars helped write that. Is "Who Dat Girl" by Flo Rida featuring Akon your girl's night jam?

In addition to the games coming out for the next generation consoles, there are plenty of great games coming out for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this year.
There's a good chance that on Jan. 1 you made a promise to yourself that you'd get organized, lose the extra pounds that you put on over the holidays or start saving money. There's also a good chance that by Jan.
