News  Archives | Editor  Media and the warfare state Q and A with media critic Norman Solomon 2007-10-25 American author and media critic Norman Solomon has been an active voice within the independent media sector since first getting involved with independent, alternative radio in 1971. He has written extensively about the close relationship between corporate media and American politics, and the harmful effects of this relationship, specifically in the context of war. His latest book, "Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State," presents both a historical examination and personal reflection of the warfare state's evolution throughout the last fifty years. Solomon will be speaking about Media and Democracy in the Digital Era in MacEwan Ballroom at 7 p.m. Fri., Nov. 2.

Though this is common practice, the contention stems from the names attached to the degrees. One is destined for former MuchMusic VJ and current host of CBC's The Hour George Stroumboulopoulos.

Seven games and two months come down to one night. All the University of Calgary football team needs to do to get into the playoffs for the first time since 2004 is win their final game of the regular season against the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds Fri., Oct. 26. This isn't going to be an easy task. Both teams are tied for the fourth and final playoff position with a 3-4 record. The winner of Friday's game will go on to play the nationally third-ranked Canada West regular season champions, the University of Manitoba Bisons. The T-Birds have made the playoffs each of the last three seasons and haven't missed the playoffs since 2003, when they went 0-8.

Some of these dreams persist as the dreamers mature, to the point where newfound knowledge and maturity force one to either abandon the goal or to come up with a really great plan for reaching it. In his new book, A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex, Calgary-trained professional wrestler Chris Jericho recounts his journey from the beginning of his dream of becoming a WWE wrestler to his debut with the company in the summer of 1999. Jericho notes that his love of wrestling began at a young age.

If you notice something strange and ask them to investigate they come to your house, sit down, ask a few questions, walk around your house, explain what they saw and think is going on and leave. Pretty simple. "Well, CAPI is a science-based organization; if you look under Wikipedia [for] proto-science, that's where we fall in," said Tom Davis, executive director of CAPI. "We are using scientific [protocols], a lot of which we developed ourselves and we follow those protocols in each and every investigation." More...   In Features • Peering into the Paranormal
