    Almost 15 years after the death of Princess Diana, you can still buy plates and cups with her face on it on the streets of London.

    People still mourn her. She was an icon. So it makes sense that she is still mourned. But what about the ordinary? The everyday people who die too soon without having left their mark on the world? Lately, they’ve been continually memorialized as well.

    By March 10, 2012

    In the world of a university student, hours spent working out are few and far between. Between balancing class, homework and often a job, many students can’t find the time to hit the gym.

  • Bullies from the schoolyard to the MPAA: ratings controversy brings light to problems in Hollywood

    By March 10, 2012

    No one likes to be bullied. It happened to many of us as young pups in the schoolyard, and it continues to happen, especially with the rise of cyber-bullying in the information age.

    So it was natural that an intrepid filmmaker would have the desire to make a hard-hitting documentary on the subject of bullying.

  • Saskatchewan MP condemns U of R students’ boycott against Israel: URSU AGM passed motion to initiate boycott, divestment and sanction campaign last month

    By March 10, 2012

    What started as a motion passed by students at the University of Regina Students’ Union annual general meeting last month has become a contentious issue both on campus and off, following recent comments in the House of Commons from one of Saskatchewan’s members of Parliament.

The motion was then passed with a near-unanimous majority.

  • Intense snowboarding series SSX carves back onto your console

    By March 9, 2012

    SSX, one of the most renowned arcade snowboarding games of all time, returns to your console with plenty of speed, frustration and a ton of dubstep.

    The SSX series flourished over the previous decade amid a gaming environment with an intense over-saturation of extreme sports games. That time has passed and EA has revived the series with some pretty strong results.
