DID A BOMB BRING DOWN SWISSAIR FLIGHT 111? HALIFAX (Canadian Press)

CBC’s Fifth Estate is reporting that a former RCMP officer involved in the investigation into the crash of Swissair Flight 111 off Nova Scotia believes an incendiary device may have brought down the plane. Tom Juby has told Fifth Estate that he was prevented by senior RCMP and aviation safety officials from pursuing his theory that the crash may have been caused by a criminal device. The flight from New York to Zurich crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Peggy’s Cove on Sept. 2, 1998, killing 229 passengers and crew. A Transportation Safety Board investigation concluded the plane was brought down by a fire in the cockpit that was caused by sparking electrical wires. Juby, a former arson investigator who worked on the Swissair file, told the CBC that the TSB investigation was done “improperly” and that high levels of magnesium – a key ingredient in an incendiary device – were discovered in the cockpit area. The Fifth Estate, which will broadcast the item Friday night, says it spoke to several other investigators and a federal scientist who support Juby’s suspicions. The CBC says the RCMP and the TSB repeatedly refused to comment about Juby’s allegations.

BROTHER OF ACCUSED TESTIFIES AT ROAD RAGE TRIAL DAN FERGUSON (Langley Times)

Lloyd Teneycke had fallen asleep in his brother Brent Parent’s truck on March 13, 2008, the night 21-year-old Silas O’Brien of Abbotsford died in an alleged road rage incident in Langley. Teneycke said he was awakened by a “rubbing” noise and the Ford pickup truck veering. His brother told him there’d been a collision with another truck. They were heading down the 25800 block of 16 Avenue. “Brent said the vehicle that had rubbed against him had left the road,” Teneycke said. He testiﬁed Wednesday morning at the trial of his brother, who is charged with deliberately running a Silverado off the road, then returning to run down and kill O’Brien, one of three friends who were driving to Vancouver International Airport for a vacation trip to hawaii. Teneycke told the court that after the collision with the Silverado, his brother drove back to see if anyone was hurt, but sped away because the young men from the other truck appeared angry and aggressive. He said he clearly recalls his brother slowing down to less than

40 km/h as he retuned to the scene where the other truck landed in the ditch, then two of the three people charging at the truck with their hands raised, shouting. “It looked like they were agitated,” he said. Luke Stephen, a friend of O’Brien’s who was there that night, testiﬁed on Tuesday that the truck returned a few minutes later

while the three friends were standing on the side of the road and suddenly swerved at them, hitting O’Brien. “We were waving our arms and yelling ‘stop, stop, stop’,” Stephen said during his testimony for Crown prosecutor Donna Ballyk. The trial is set to run 10 days. Parent is expected to testify in his own defence.

SUBMARINE FIRE WON’T PUSH BACK PLANNED DIVE VICTORIA NEWS (Black Press)

A ﬁre that broke out last week on the Royal Canadian Navy’s ﬂagship submarine at CFB Esquimalt, won’t sink the navy’s plans to set sail by the end of September. “We’re going to go ahead as scheduled,” said Cmdr. Christopher Ellis, captain of HMCS Victoria. The used ship, purchased from Britain back in the 1990s, has been undergoing repairs since 2005. The Victoria is scheduled to begin sea trials by the end of the year.

HOPE MAN CHARGED IN FATAL MOTORCYCLE CRASH HOPE STANDARD (Black Press)

A 62-year-old man from Hope is facing two impaired driving charges after a fatal motorcycle crash on Sunday in Harrison Hot Springs. His 1990 Mercury Sable struck a 70-year-old motorcyclist from Agassiz on Hot Springs Road at about 4 p.m. The Hope driver was not injured in the crash, but police said he blew twice over the legal limit. He was scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning.

PACIFIC SALMON FLOATED AS B.C.’S OFFICIAL FISH VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)

The provincial government is pondering a proposal to formally designate the salmon as B.C.’s official fish. David Marshall, with the Fraser Basin Council, says most of the public already associates the province with the fish, so taking the next step shouldn’t make a splash. He says the aim of the symbolic move is raising more awareness of the salmon’s economic, cultural and environmental significance in efforts to promote sustainability.

UBCM convention —

GREEN TAXES ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENDA TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)

Municipal leaders are gathering for their annual convention in Vancouver at the end of September, and they’ll be calling for changes to green taxes imposed by the B.C. government. The Union of B.C. Municipalities executive has given high priority to a resolution from Smithers calling for changes to the province’s carbon offset program. Municipalities and regional districts, along with school districts and health authorities, are required to buy greenhouse gas emission credits to make their operations “carbon neutral,” with proceeds going to cleanup projects such as natural gas and cement plants. Smithers council is calling for carbon offset payments to be retained by each local government, to use

for their own building retrofits, fuel-efficient vehicles or other emissions reduction strategies. Environment Minister Terry Lake has indicated he is considering such a change, after complaints that the carbon offset program is costing cash-strapped schools and hospitals millions every year. The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is calling for a portion of carbon tax on fossil fuels to be directed to transit funding. That mirrors a proposal considered by Premier Christy Clark, who will be making her first keynote speech at the UBCM convention on Sept. 30. Resolutions from the Cariboo Regional District and the City of Colwood call for the province to reverse its ban on incandescent light bulbs, citing concern about the disposal of compact fluorescent lights.

CHARGES IN VERNON E. COLI WATER CONTAMINATION VERNON (Canadian Press)

Charges have now been laid under B.C.’s Water Protection and Environmental Management acts following an extensive investigation of the contamination of a North Okanagan water system. Environment Ministry ofﬁcials conﬁrm the North Okanagan Regional District, District of Coldstream, Pan-O-Ramic Farm Ltd., and dairy farm owner Ernest Palfrey have been charged. Nearly 4,000 residents were affected when E. coli and other bacteria seeped into the Antwerp well system last year, but no one was sickened.

TEEN’S KILLER TO BE SENTENCED IN 2012 SURREY LEADER (Black Press)

The man who shot and killed Surrey teen Adem Aliu last year will be sentenced early next year. Steven Mulligan-Brum, 21, was originally charged with second-degree murder after 17-year-old Aliu was gunned down on a North Surrey street on July 14, 2010. Mulligan-Brum was arrested 15 hours later and pleaded guilty to manslaughter early this month. At the time of the killing, police said Aliu and some friends were slashing tires and kicking cars when they incurred the wrath of a man who confronted the youths with a gun.

OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

Climate-change activists issued a hoax news release yesterday in the name of Canada’s environment ministry in an effort to embarrass the Conservatives. A release sent to media outlets used the Environment Canada news template to tout the “re-release” of what it claimed was a 1980s teaching tool on climate issues for Canadian students. The teaching unit, called “What a Difference a Degree Makes,” referred to the cultural inﬂuences of climate, including movies such as The Big Chill and musicians Air Supply and Donna Summer.

DEBATE NEEDED ON AFGHAN WAR MEMORIAL: LEGION OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

The Royal Canadian Legion says it will have to debate whether it supports adding Afghanistan to the National War Memorial. Spokesman Bob Butt says it is a matter for the various Legion commands to decide and the subject has yet to be discussed among the organization’s 340,000 active members. A proposal circulated around National Defence last year called for the word Afghanistan and the dates 2001-2011 to be added to the memorial that sits in the shadow of Parliament Hill.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRANK TARGETS OTTAWA ... AGAIN

Cities say they need serious federal help in integrating immigrants and ensuring they become productive contributors to society. A new paper from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities says access to affordable housing and public transit are key for many newcomers to Canada, but those services are shunned by federal and provincial governments, leaving cities holding the bag. The report says more and more immigrants settle in suburbs, but the social services they need are not available there, so they struggle.

Nearly one-third of Montreal’s deteriorating road structures need repair work and a dozen of them are considered in critical condition. That’s according to a study that examined 555 pieces of infrastructure under local jurisdiction. Theories abound about why the city’s roads are in such poor shape: two factors often cited are the use of poor materials in the original construction, along with improper maintenance.

Governor General David Johnston says his office won’t escape the federal budget cuts that are sweeping through the nation’s capital. Johnston says his office is undergoing a strategic review just like everyone else in Ottawa. But unlike government departments, his cost-cutting wasn’t ordered by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the last budget. Rather, officials explain it came at the behest of Johnston himself, because he feels the need to make sure taxpayers’ money is well spent.

The International Committee of the Red Cross says at least 13 mass graves have been found in Libya over the past three weeks. The Geneva-based Red Cross says its staff assisted in the recovery of 125 bodies found at 12 different sites in and around Tripoli. It says remains of 34 people were also recovered from a site in the Nafusa mountain village of Galaa in western Libya. ICRC spokesman Steven Anderson said yesterday that more mass graves are being found every week.

A United Nations adviser is accusing Britain of breaking international law by evicting hundreds of people from an illegal travellers’ camp. Yves Cabannes of the UN Advisory Group on Forced Evictions said yesterday that moving the Irish Travellers infringes the right to adequate housing and amounts to racial discrimination. Local authorities want to remove 86 families who have been living illegally on the site of a former scrapyard near London since 2001. Britain’s High Court rejected a bid last month to halt the evictions, which are due to begin next week.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has opened a permanent exhibition on Germany’s Cold War past at what was once one of East Berlin’s busiest border crossings. The exhibition is housed in the restored 1960s building where passport and customs checks were carried out at Berlin’s Friedrichstrasse station. It was popularly known as the “Traenenpalast,” or “Palace of Tears.” The exhibition includes items such as photos and a cubicle used for border checks. It aims to illustrate the intimidating everyday experiences travellers had at the border.

Armed pirates raided a tanker off the West African coast and kidnapped 23 sailors yesterday, taking off with the vessel in waters that are increasingly at risk of piracy, an international monitoring group said.

Pirates struck as the Cyprus-ﬂagged vessel tried to transfer its cargo of crude oil to a Norwegian-registered ship, said Cyrus Mody, a manager at the bureau.

NASA UNVEILS PLANS FOR MASSIVE NEW MANNED ROCKET WASHINGTON (Associated Press)

The design for NASA’s newest behemoth of a rocket harkens back to the giant workhorse liquid rockets that propelled men to the moon. But this time the destinations will be much farther and the rocket even more powerful. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and several members of Congress joined yesterday in unveiling the Obama administration’s much-delayed general plans for its rocket design, called the Space Launch System. The multibillion-dollar program will carry astronauts in a capsule on top and start test launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in six years. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, called it “a monster rocket.” Nelson puts the cost of the program at about $18 billion over the next five years – or $3 billion a year. Some estimates, however, are closer to $35 billion. The size, shape and heavier reliance on liquid fuel as opposed to solid rocket boosters is much closer to Apollo than the recently retired space shuttles, which were winged, reusable ships. At first the rockets will be able to carry into space 70 to 100 tonnes of payload, which would include the six-person Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle capsule and more. Eventually it will be able to carry 130 tonnes into space, maybe even 150 tonnes, officials said. The plans dwarf the rumbling liftoff power of the space shuttle, which could haul just 25 tonnes.

ENVOYS RUSH TO CONTAIN FALLOUT FROM PLANNED PALESTINIAN UN BID JERUSALEM (Associated Press)

A high-level U.S. team kicked off a new round of shuttle diplomacy yesterday in a last-ditch effort to contain the diplomatic fallout from the Palestinian statehood push, but the odds of a breakthrough appeared slim as the Palestinians pledged to go ahead with mass rallies to draw world attention to their bid. U.S. diplomats Dennis Ross and David Hale arrived late yesterday The Palestinians are for talks with Prime turning to the UN Minister Benjamin after peace talks Netanyahu and other with Israel broke Israeli leaders. They down, hoping a UN are to travel to the bid would boost West Bank today to talk their drive for an with Palestinian President independent state. Mahmoud Abbas. Washington is trying to persuade the Palestinians to drop their plan to ask the United Nations to recognize an independent Palestinian state, but so far without success. The Palestinians are turning to the UN after peace talks with Israel broke down, hoping a UN bid would boost their statehood drive. Both Israel and the U.S. oppose the campaign, saying there is no substitute for negotiations. An Israeli official said there was “a very intensive effort” under way in hopes of finding a formula that would allow negotiations to resume. “We hope we succeed. It’s not a foregone conclusion,” said the official, speaking on condition of

anonymity. Palestinian ofﬁcials have said they remain determined to go to the UN unless Israel accepts their demand for a freeze on West Bank settlement construction and commits to a Palestinian state based on the cease-ﬁre lines that mark the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza – areas captured in the 1967 Mideast war.

27 KILLED IN BOLD ATTACK AT U.S. EMBASSY IN KABUL

KABUL, Afghanistan (Associated Press)

The commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan yesterday acknowledged the Taliban gained a propaganda victory in a 20-hour assault focused on the U.S. Embassy, which left 27 police, civilians and insurgents dead. But U.S. Marine Corps Gen. John Allen insisted the attack was not a sign of vulnerability in the Afghan capital. Still, the sophistication and vehemence of the attack, in which insurgents fired rockets into the U.S. Embassy compound from a nearby unfinished high-rise where they may have stored heavy weapons ahead of time, raised fresh doubts about the Afghans’ ability to secure their nation as U.S. and other foreign troops begin to withdraw. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault. It took 20 hours through the night for Afghan, U.S. and NATO troops to root out six insurgents holed up in the 12-storey building on the Abdul Haq traffic circle, pounding them with barrages from attack helicopters as police and soldiers worked their way up floor by floor. From their roost, the insurgents had clear shots on the nearby U.S. Embassy, battling Afghan forces in a gunfight that lit up the night with tracer fire. At 9:30 a.m., the Afghan Interior Ministry announced that the final holdouts had been killed.

In the case of A Dangerous Method, about the birth of psychoanalysis spearheaded by Carl Jung, his mentor Sigmund Freud and the largely unknown pioneer Sabina Spielrein, Canadian director David Cronenberg envisioned a sadomasochism scene as crucial to the understanding of Spielrein’s relationship with Jung. “I said to Keira, ‘It’s your comfort level ... we could do (the spanking scene) with total clothing on if we needed to,’ and so we just had a very heart-to-heart talk on what she’d be comfortable with and what she wouldn’t,” he said.

ABOUT THE TROUBLE WITH NUDE SCENES TORONTO (Canadian Press)

Keira Knightley hates the fact that the release of A Dangerous Method – playing at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival – will probably lead to a flurry of Google searches for “Keira Knightley nude” and “Keira Knightley spanked.” It’s not the first time the 26-year-old English actress has shot a sex scene, and in 2008 she told reporters that she didn’t mind appearARCHIVED ing nude for the right role. But while there will always be actors ONLINE willing to disrobe for a film – either because FOREVER they have no reservations about it, or feel compelled to do so to land a part – some, like Knightley, are becoming increasingly wary of onscreen nudity, knowing the images will be catalogued and archived online forever. “It’s not like doing it in the ‘60s or ‘70s – when I think you could do things and they were kept to the medium they should be kept to – now you’ve got people who want to take them out of any kind of context,” Knightley said during a recent interview. “If you watch the films at the moment I think there are less and less actresses who are taking their clothes off, who are doing scenes like that, and completely CANADIAN PRESS understandably because there is all of a sudden a Keira Knightley isn’t happy that her newest role might lead to a flurry of naughty Internet searches. whole other side of it that you do have to think of.”

CHARLIE SHEEN LOOKS BACK ON THE MANIC SPRING OF 2011

NEW YORK (Associated Press)

Charlie Sheen says his life’s a lot calmer. The actor and former star of Two and a Half Men told NBC’s Matt Lauer that he didn’t really know what happened this spring when he was ﬁred from the show and began a manic round of media appearances talking about his “tiger blood” and “winning.” Lauer’s interview will air on the Today show tomorrow, and NBC released excerpts yesterday. “It was one of those things where the planets were aligned, perfectly or imperfectly. I said some stuff and then it caught such traction globally and instantly that I couldn’t really put out the ﬁre,” Sheen said. “I had to keep fuelling it.” Sheen said the experience “was like being shot out of a cannon into another cannon and then being just shot out of that one. It was like from one moment to the next I didn’t know what was going to happen. It was pretty exciting.” The actor said he was sober but couldn’t tell Lauer the last time he took drugs or drank. He said he didn’t believe in keeping track of the sober time because “if you’re walking around hanging on to your time, it’s only a matter of time before it goes.”

AMY WINEHOUSE’S DAD SAYS HE FOUGHT DEALERS TO GET HER CLEAN

TWO AND A HALF MEN RETURNS WITH ASHTON KUTCHER

NEW YORK (Associated Press)

BURBANK, Calif. (Associated Press)

The stars of CBS’ Two and a Half Men are scrutinizing a photo depicting them as a tuxedo-clad trio sharing a microphone. Ashton Kutcher is in the centre, flanked by Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones on the other. “It’s nice,” offered Cryer, adding a query to Jones: “But that’s not your hand, is it? I believe they had too big a black spot there and they photoshopped in a hand.” “That’s not my head, is it?” said Kutcher. The silliness carries a message: The three actors are a comfortable fit with each other and for the revamped Two and a Half Men, which returns Sept. 19 for its ninth season, minus the fired Charlie Sheen. Executive producer Chuck Lorre and the Warner Bros. studio clashed with their erratic, hard-partying star before dumping him in March and cutting the season short. Kutcher, who carries the weight of replacing Sheen, ticks off reasons the sitcom can remain a hit. “The series has momentum. It has fans that are built in,” he said. “I think the great thing the writers have done is they haven’t lost the sensibility of the show.”

Amy Winehouse’s father says the fight to get her off drugs often turned physical, as he tussled with the drug dealers and gangsters who were supplying his daughter with them. “I spent my time fighting with drug dealers, and I mean proper fighting,” Mitch Winehouse said. “And I’m a middle-aged man, who is overweight, having fistfights with people.” Winehouse said his daughter finally budged once she saw how hurt her family was: “She witnessed all this stuff going on, of how her family and her friends were fighting gangsters and she decided she didn’t want to put her family in that position anymore.” Amy Winehouse, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead on July 23. Her father launched The Amy Winehouse Foundation yesterday, on what would’ve been the singer’s 28th birthday. Mitch Winehouse said there were some negative influences in the group that surrounded Amy.

And he said he was naive about her drug use early on. “I didn’t know the extent of her problem until maybe four months before she decided to quit,” he said.

STILL IN BLACK

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Amy Winehouse’s father launched a foundation in her name yesterday, on what would have been her 28th birthday.

Mitch Winehouse – who has been doing interviews and has appeared on TV to talk about the launch of the foundation – said talking about his daughter is “very hard,” but it “is helping us deal with our grief.” He made appearances with Amy’s mother, Janis; his wife, Jane; and Amy’s boyfriend, Reg Traviss. “I don’t know what her ultimate plans were, but she was certainly talking to me about having children,” Winehouse said. “Even when she was drinking, she was in a great place.” Winehouse believes his daughter died of a seizure related to alcohol detoxiﬁcation. A full inquest into her death begins next month. Mitch Winehouse, who is also a musician, was in New York when his daughter died. He said he struggles to listen to her music, especially her multi-platinum Back to Black, which won ﬁve Grammy Awards and is the U.K.’s bestselling album of the 21st century. “I can’t sit down and listen to her music,” he said. “I couldn’t ever listen to Back to Black anyway because it reminded me of dark times.” ADD YOUR

CANADIANS COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR DEBT: POLL TORONTO (Canadian Press)

Canadians are conďŹ dent that they have a good handle on their personal debt and believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in better ďŹ nancial shape than most, a new survey suggested yesterday. The poll, conducted by Ipsos Reid and released by the Royal Bank of Canada, suggested nearly 70 per cent of Canadians have achieved non-mortgage debt levels that they are comfortable managing. More than a ďŹ fth of survey respondents, or 22 per cent, reported being entirely clear of non-mortgage debt, while a further 45 per cent were not concerned about their current debt levels, the poll said. Three-quarters of those surveyed said they believed they were in better ďŹ nancial shape than their friends and neighbours. Young Canadians were particularly anxious about getting out of debt, the survey found, saying 39 per cent of those between 18 and 34 reported feeling anxious about the money they owe.

LOONIE DIPS AS U.S. CONUMERS CUT SPENDING TORONTO (Canadian Press)

The Canadian dollar fell more than half a cent against its U.S. counterpart yesterday after weak data on American retail sales added to fears of another recession. The loonie closed down 0.55 of a cent at 100.93 cents US. American consumers spent less last month on autos, clothing and furniture, leaving retail sales unchanged in August, the U.S. Commerce Department said. It also said July was weaker than ďŹ rst thought. The ďŹ&#x201A;at reading in August was a surprise given reports from retailers during the month that back-to-school shopping and auto sales appeared to have been strong compared with a year ago.

TORONTO (Canadian Press)

The multimillion-dollar lawsuit arising from Todd Bertuzzi’s 2004 sucker-punch on Steve Moore is scheduled to go to court late next year. Tim Danson, the Toronto lawyer representing Moore, says Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice has scheduled to start hearing the case on Sept. 24, 2012, if Bertuzzi is still playing in the NHL.

EIGHT YEARS LATER

If Bertuzzi has retired, Danson says the lawsuit, which seeks more than $40 million in damages against Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks, will begin on Oct. 22, 2012. Playing for the Canucks on March 8, 2004, Bertuzzi punched Colorado’s Moore from behind then fell on him and pushed his head into the ice. Moore suffered three fractured vertebrae and a concussion and has not played since. Bertuzzi pleaded guilty to assault in criminal court and was sentenced to one year of probation and 80 days of community service.

Former Canuck Todd Bertuzzi will face a civil lawsuit next year over his 2004 attack on Colorado’s Steve Moore.

NHLERS PREPARE FOR TRAINING CAMP TORONTO (Canadian Press)

Almost three months to the day after the Boston Bruins hoisted the Stanley Cup at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, NHL players are heading back to work. The majority of players had ﬁve months off to rehab injuries and start working towards a new season. In some cases, it was a welcome break. “The long off-season is good for

everybody to get that rest and get the time away from the game we need,” Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said recently. “I think we’re all excited and eager to get going.” Teams around the NHL will put players through medical testing on Friday before taking to the ice for the start of training camp on Saturday. While Toews was obviously disap-

pointed the Blackhawks failed to get past Vancouver in the first round, it offered him a chance to spend more time in the gym than usual. As a result, Toews is a prime candidate for a breakthrough season. He expects to improve on the career-best 76 points he had a year ago. “I’m definitely setting my sights on bigger things personally, not only team-wise,” said Toews. “At any level I’ve ever played, I always wanted to be the best. I think that’s what it’s all about – in the end, you want to have as much of an influence and affect on your team as you can.”

CROSBY HELPING TO CLEAR THE AIR ON HEAD SHOTS: CAMMALLERI TABOO LAVAL, Que. (Canadian Press)

Montreal Canadiens sniper Michael BROKEN Cammalleri says having superstar Sidney Crosby speak out about headshots will help other NHL players voice opinions on what used to be a taboo subject. “What the immediate effect is for me is that it allows other players now to come out and say ‘OK, it’s not uncool to say what I really believe, and that I’m not a soft player because I don’t think we should have headshots. I’m not a player a general manager won’t want on his team. I’m now going to voice that opinion,’ ” Cammalleri said yesterday. “I think it’s very good of Sid to be able to do that. He’s under a big microscope, the biggest in our game, and I commend him for doing that. I think that it’s important that we don’t be ignorant to what’s going on in our game.” Crosby has been out of action with concussion symptoms since early January after taking shots to the head in consecutive games. While the Pittsburgh Penguins centre is optimistic he will be able to play again, no date has been set for his return. The 24-year-old urged the league to take action on shots to the head when he met with the media Sept. 7 in Pittsburgh. “As a league, as a union, I think we’ve all educated ourselves a lot in the last six or seven months,” Crosby said. “I think it can go further. At the end of the day, I don’t think there’s a reason not to take (headshots) out.”

CORNERBACK WILL ALLEN REJOINS REELING DOLPHINS DAVIE, Fla. (Associated Press)

Without Will Allen, the Miami Dolphins’ pass defence was dismal, so they re-signed him. The veteran cornerback rejoined the Dolphins yesterday after they gave up a franchise-worst 517 yards passing by New England’s Tom Brady in the season opener Monday. Allen was back on the practice ﬁeld 11 days after being cut at the end of training camp. “This is a business,” he said. “You’ve got to understand. “You can’t take anything personal. You take the punch, and you keep rolling. Bitterness doesn’t get me anywhere, so here I am.” Allen replaces nickel back Benny Sapp, whose contract was terminated Tuesday after the Patriots’ Wes Welker burned him on a 99-yard touchdown pass. A 38-24 loss to New England prompted the Dolphins to bring back Allen. He was slowed by a hamstring injury at the end of training camp, which contributed to the decision at the time to keep Sapp instead, coach Tony Sparano said. “One guy was healthy. The other guy really wasn’t,” Sparano said. “Allen’s better right now.” Allen started 53 games for Miami from 2006 to 2009, then missed last season with a knee injury.

run very fast on this track.” Weather predictions call for ideal conditions tomorrow. No one doubts Bolt’s speed once he hits full stride – it is his release from the blocks that has been the problem this season. In a stunning few seconds at the world championships late last month, Bolt jumped the gun in the 100-metre ﬁnal before Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake won gold instead. It was a huge surprise that Bolt blamed on a bout of anxiety at the worst moment.

Usain Bolt still has plenty to run for when he settles into the blocks for the 100 metres tomorrow at the Van Damme Memorial. The Jamaican sprinter, who was disqualiﬁed from the 100 at the world championships for a false start, has only the sixth-best time of the year at 9.85 seconds. But in his last race of the season, Bolt will be looking to

beat the season’s top time of 9.78 seconds run by teammate Asafa Powell. Despite a horrid start in Zagreb on Tuesday in his first race since the worlds, Bolt clocked 9.85, only .07 seconds shy of Powell’s mark. And the world-record holder will find one of his favourite tracks in the world at the King Baudouin Stadium, where he ran a blistering 9.77 seconds Usain Bolt into a headwind three years ago. “It should be good,” Bolt said hours after arriving from Zagreb. “Definitely.

BERLUSCONI WINS APPROVAL FOR AUSTERITY PACKAGE ROME (Associated Press)

ARGENTINES POINT FINGERS IN DEADLY BUS-TRAIN COLLISION BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Associated Press)

Argentines traded blame yesterday for a bus and train collision that killed 11 people and injured more than 200 at a railroad crossing the day before. A brief clip from a police security video that was initially released after Tuesday’s crash shows the bus driver clearly ignoring flashing lights and a ringing bell as he manoeuvres around a partially lowered wooden barrier that automatically drops when trains are nearby. But a longer view of the same police video shows a series of problems preceded the tragedy. The recording shows a garbage truck breaking the end of the wooden, red-and-white painted barrier hours before Tuesday’s pre-dawn crash. It then shows a security guard waving drivers across despite warning signals. That guard was hired by a contractor whose overnight repair work on the nearby rails can falsely activate the signals, Trains of Buenos Aires spokesman Gustavo Gago said. “We need to see how we can put transit police (in the railroad crossings) and issue fines, because they never fine drivers whose vehicles cross under lowered barriers,” Gago complained.

Italy’s Parliament gave final approval to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s government’s austerity measures, a combination of higher taxes, pension reform and spending cuts that sparked street protests in Rome. The Chamber of Deputies passed the package by a vote of 314-300. The Senate, Parliament’s upper chamber, already approved the measures. Hundreds of demonstrators, some unleashing smoke bombs and others hurling paint, clashed with police in riot gear in the cobblestone squares and streets near Parliament as lawmakers were voting on the measures designed to fend off a financial crisis threatening much of Europe. Earlier in the day, Berlusconi’s government, whose allies had squabbled publicly over the package, won a crucial confidence vote called to discourage debate and hasten approval. European Central Bank and European Union leaders in Brussels had pressed Rome for quick passage to calm

markets roiled by a crisis that could endanger the entire 17-member eurozone. But the planned cuts and taxes have angered many Italians, fueling protests similar to those in other European nations grappling with the economic crisis. Berlusconi contends that the measures will shave more than 54 billion euros ($73 billion Cdn) off Italy’s deﬁcit over three

years through spending cuts, tax hikes, including raising the sales tax from 20 per cent to 21 per cent, and accelerating reform of the country’s costly pension system. Italy’s deﬁcit-to-gross domestic product ratio now stands at 120 per cent, one of Europe’s highest. In tacit admission that Wednesday’s package might fall short, lawmakers were starting to consider other steps, including one proposal to end the Catholic Church’s exemption from property tax on its extensive real estate in Italy.
