Against Fraser Valley, for example, the Ravens struggled for most of the game. Against Guelph,...

You know, we've been pretty skeptical about the whole "fit" part of the "Wii Fit" phenomenon, and for good reason: as studies have shown, the health benefits of gaming, whether you're sitting, standing, or faux-bowling, are minimal at best .

Eastern Ontario's team There is much to like about the Carleton University Ravens men's basketball team. Six of the last seven Canadian Interuniversity Sports national championships come immediately to mind. But there is more to it than that. There is the sportsmanship that the team shows in its wins and rare losses. And there is also the pedigree of the players. If you look down the Ravens roster,...

Hobin, who had an uneven first two seasons while adjusting to the pace of practice and intricacies of game execution at Carleton, has been touted by many close...

I love the rod puppetry in it; the puppets look very simple, but they've been staged and shot with some real cinematic flare that's difficult to achieve. A talented crew of L.A.-based puppet people helped out with...
