The Huskies women’s soccer team handed the Alberta Pandas only their second loss of the season Oct. 2 with a 3-2 win at Foote Field in Edmonton.
After splitting goals in the first 10 minutes to open the game, the remainder of the first half was all Huskies as their three goals within the half proved too much for the Pandas.

Saskatoon art lovers have plenty to see in two new exhibitions that opened this past week. Wing Yee Tong’s show Homework is showing at the Snelgrove, and Vancouver-based artist Jayce Salloum’s history of the present is at the Mendel.
Obvious headlines aside, both exhibitions present the artist as archivist, collector and hoarder of the objects, images, conversations and even recipes that are the material residue of lived experience. In both exhibits, the gallery space and the artist’s treatment transform our relationship to these objects.

Red State, Kevin Smith’s first venture into the horror genre, is not your standard jump-inducing scary film. The 88-minute long endeavour follows a religious group, the Five Points Church, who are explicitly compared in the movie to the Westboro Baptist Church.
Like the real-life fundamentalist church, the Five Points Church protests public events such as the funerals of homosexuals with offensive signs and are all related by “blood and marriage.”

Ben Coakwell’s presence was exactly what the University of Saskatchewan Huskies offence needed to get out of their slump.
The running back rushed for over 200 yards and had two touchdowns in the Huskies’ 36-33 win over the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds at Griffiths Stadium Sept. 30. It was only his second game of the season as he was sidelined early in the year with a shoulder injury.

After a five-year hiatus since the release of the highly criticized double album Stadium Arcadium, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have a lot to prove with their latest release, I’m With You.
With over 60 minutes of music, the Chili Peppers’ tenth studio album, produced by Rick Rubin, has Anthony Kiedis claiming they are a “new band.” But fear not diehard fans, I’m With You is stamped with the RHCP’s signature sound. Just don’t count on them getting the socks back out.

Atlanta-based psychedelic metal heads Mastodon continue to step out of their comfort zone on their fifth album The Hunter.
The Hunter has some truly great moments; it’s too bad they’re shrouded by some mediocre attempts by the band to step outside their comfort zone into more accessible areas. I respect what Mastodon tried to do with this album and when it works it works extremely well, but all too often The Hunter tends to shoot itself in the foot.

How far would you go to have a child? Would you risk your health, the health of your spouse or most importantly the health of the fetus?
There will always be risks when a child is born — this is an unavoidable part of life — but the job of a doctor is to lower those risks, reduce the danger of procedures and protect a patient’s wellbeing. When a doctor graduates from medical school they must swear to uphold the Hippocratic Oath, which states that they must “never do harm to anyone.” so what happens when a doctor fails his or her oath?
