Als safety trading football jersey for lawyer garb

The Alouettes are about to lose another popular veteran to retirement. Safety Matthieu Proulx is expected to announce today that he’ll be hanging up his cleats.

The twenty-nine (29) year old spent his entire six-year career with the Als after being drafted by the team in 2005.

Proulx’s decision has been a long time coming. He has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing the Als run to the 2010 Grey Cup because of a torn ligament in his knee.


"Watson" meets his match

The “Jeopardy” winning supercomputer Watson finally met his match Monday night in an actual rocket scientist. New Jersey physicist turned politician Rush Holt beat the computer in an exhibition match held in Washington.

Holt, who is a 5 time jeopardy champion, beat out four other politicians before defeating the computer.

IBM created Watson and hosted the mock “jeopardy” game to highlight technology’s impact on society. A representative from the company said that the untelevised event was more than a trivia contest.

Watson is equipped with some of the most advanced information processors in the world.


McGill University to be Fined

The Quebec Education Minister Line Beauchamp has finally decided to calculate a financial penalty to be charged to McGill University.

McGill has been charging well above standard tuition fees compared to other universities that offer the same programs.

The current annual price for McGill’s Masters of Business Administration degree program is twenty nine and half thousand dollars. Comparable to the University of Montreal who charges two thousand and sixty eight dollars.

With tuition fees already proposed to rise in Quebec. Beauchamp has been talking about assessing McGill for months.
