Those who have watched both “Saw” and “Saw II” know the basic background of this twisted movie that was released on October 27. Continuing the plots of the first two movies, “Saw III” delivers another gruesome tale of people who are kidnapped and placed in torturous life-or-death situations in which they must decide how much their life is really worth to them.

Halloween has always been an exciting time on the Logan campus as hundreds of students dress up to celebrate the holiday. This year however, the festivities may be stifled by a few extra rules.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — It is a rite of fall almost as familiar as Homecoming: Excited Stanford students decorate their new rooms with desktop computers, laptops, printers, game consoles, wireless routers and assorted electronic gizmos built at home over summer vacation.

Then something breaks. Or freezes. Or takes down an entire dormitory's network.

GOD HAND
For: PlayStation 2
From: Clover Studio/Capcom
ESRB Rating: Mature

Awesomely terrible or terribly awesome? That is the question surrounding "God Hand," arguably the most polarizing game to arrive in 2006. The "love it or hate it" superlative is abused to the point of irrelevance, but Clover's bizarre brawler is the real deal.

Chiang Kai-shek (October 31, 1887 – April 5, 1975) was a Chinese military and political leader who assumed the leadership of the Kuomintang (KMT) after the 1925 death of Sun Yat-sen. He began his military education at the Baoding Military Academy, in 1906. Attended the Military State Academy in Japan in 1907. Chiang Kai-shek served in the Imperial Japanese Army from 1909 to 1911. He commmanded the Northern Expedition to unify China against the warlords and emerged victorious in 1928 as the overall leader of the Republic of China (ROC). Chiang led China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, during which Chiang's stature within China weakened, but his international prominence grew. During the Chinese Civil War (1927–1949), Chiang attempted to eradicate the Chinese Communists, but ultimately failed, forcing his government to retreat to Taiwan, where he continued serving as the President of the Republic of China and Director-General of the KMT for the remainder of his life.
