From the ashes of last year’s Louis’ Talk Show rises a new Monday night feature: Game Show.
While Game Show is essentially indistinguishable from Talk Show — the same host, the same ’80s music and the same kitschy prizes — it focuses more on the audience participation factor that was always the best part of Talk Show. It does away with the monologue, the wet blanket co-host Paul McMurtry and the occasional dud of a guest.

For anyone interested in music that goes beyond standard FM shlock-fare, there are few vestiges for alternative or independent music on the radio waves these days.
Not to condemn rock radio for filling their quota, but if it’s necessary to satiate CanCon law requirements, I could do without hearing Nickleback’s “How You Remind Me” ever again. Theoretically, there are better, newer Nickleback songs. Most of what Saskatoon radio listeners are subjected to doesn’t go beyond the most overplayed and uninspiring.

Brad Trost is at it again. The controversial politician recently renewed his opposition to federal funds going towards the Planned Parenthood organization, much as he did during the May federal election. As one of Trost’s constituents, I am embarrassed to have an MP with such a narrow perspective that does not respect the rights of women to choose their own fates.

Odds are you’ve come across individuals who silently suffer from mental illness. Maybe it’s one of your friends, a stranger on the street or even yourself. Mental illness affects millions of people worldwide: from the anxiety producing numbness of obsessive compulsive disorder to the extreme mood swings of bipolar disorder to the damning and uncontrollable thoughts of schizophrenia.

Listening to the radio, you can’t help but wonder, is rock music dead?
Last year, only three of the UK’s top 100 singles were classified as rock. Of the fifteen best selling albums worldwide, there wasn’t a single guitar band. Don’t ask me why, but kids now think digital instruments are cooler than electric guitars. And after 60 years of rock and roll, some music journalists are pronouncing the genre dead.

Some time around midnight eastern time on Sept. 23, a decommissioned NASA satellite fell out of the sky — but nobody knows where.
The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, was launched in 1991. According to NASA, it was “the first multi-instrumented satellite to observe numerous chemical components of the atmosphere for better understanding of photochemistry.”

Don’t expect a definitive statement anytime soon on Thomas Mulcair’s future in the NDP leadership race.
“It’s a question of weeks, not days,” the party’s deputy leader told a group of about 60 supporters and Concordia University students at a speaking event in Montreal on Sept. 16. He made the comments the day after a three-day caucus meeting finished in Quebec City. The question about his leadership and potential backing from the other MPs was a hot topic at the conference.

Using his influence and elite hockey status, Bob McKenzie has certainly inspired an in-depth look into the ugly side of “crazy” minor-hockey parents.
McKenzie himself admits that since his sons have grown to the ages of 22 and 25, he doesn’t spend as much time around the rinks as he used to. So if these jaw-dropping and seemingly scandalous stories of calling stick measurements on 11-year-olds happened more than a decade ago, how bad has it really gotten?
