Finale spellbinds Harry Potterheads
People camp out to catch midnight showing of final Harry Potter movie Hardcore fans dressed up as their favourite characters PHYLICIA TORREVILLAS @METRONEWS.CA
A swarm of Harry Potter fans, some decked out in full Hogwarts regalia, converged outside the Scotiabank Theatre on Burrard Street Thursday to mark an end of an era. Austin Jakobsen, who camped out 24 hours ahead of the midnight screening to get the best
seats, said it was well worth the wait to pay tribute to the first book he ever read from cover to cover. “It’s the final one of the series, so you might as well go big or go home,” Jakobsen said while working on a Harry Potter colouring page. “It’s the book that broke me into reading. I’ve never really let go. They’re my favourite books and al-
ways will be.” Regina resident Cheyenne Fayant-McLeod said she was disappointed by the opening for of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 in her Saskatchewan city. Fayant-McLeod, who was dressed as a Holyhead Harpies Quidditch player, decided to come all the way to Vancouver to dress up and watch the final instalment with friends.
Krysta Mitchell, dolled up in a custom-made Nymphadora Tonks costume, said people relate to the story of the boy wizard because it makes everyone feel that they can be special. “It kind of makes us all feel like maybe something magical is out there for all of us,” she said. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 opens in theatres Friday.

A global plea for treatment Local scientist has produced evidence that HIV treatment doubles as tool against virus’ spread Medical community yet to embrace model JENNIFER GAUTHIER/FOR METRO
MATT KIELTYKA
@METRONEWS.CA
The clock is ticking. Dr. Julio Montaner, the world-renowned HIV researcher of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, has made an urgent plea to the medical community to recognize that treating patients with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) doubles as an effective tool against the spread of the incurable virus. Montaner and his team have found that HAART treatment lowers plasma HIV-1 RNA to undetectable levels and cuts the risk of transmission by more than 90 per cent. Because HAART treatment is readily available in British Columbia and free for patients, the province is one of the few jurisdictions in the world where new HIV diagnoses are declining. A U.S. clinical trial found the treatment results in a 96.3 per cent decrease in the risk of HIV transmission, backing up Montaner’s research. But for the most part, the
Dr. Julio Montaner is a pioneering researcher at the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.
treatment-as-prevention model has been ignored. Montaner is trying to change that with a letter published today in The Lancet medical journal. “The evidence is there. It’s irrefutable,” Montaner said this week. “We’re very frustrated that the purists among us and the naysayers are always looking for the next question, the next trial before they embrace the notion that this is the right thing to do.” In the meantime, in
Canada alone about 3,300 people are infected with HIV each year. Montaner says the B.C. government has removed the financial and social barriers for patients to get HAART. But the stigma surrounding the virus as well as government apathy means patients in other provinces have difficulty getting the treatment. It’s worse in the U.S., where only 20 per cent of patients have undetectable HIV counts because of taking HAART,
compared to 50 per cent in B.C. “If that’s the situation in North America, I don’t have to tell you it only gets worse in other parts of the world,” Montaner said. He hopes his evidence leads to an expansion of HAART coverage in other countries because it’s the best way to stop the spread of HIV. “At the end of the day, our No. 1 priority now is to transform what we know to what we do. Treatment is prevention.”
Excerpts from Dr. Montaner’s comments in The Lancet • “The evidence is clear: treatment conclusively prevents morbidity, mortality, and transmission. From this point on, these three end points should be considered together.”
• “Lower community viral load, caused by the expansion of HAART coverage, has been associated with declining numbers of new HIV diagnoses in Taiwan, British Columbia, Canada,
and San Francisco, U.S.A.” • “Starting immediately, we must deploy so-called Smart HAART Roll Out initiatives that incorporate a strong implementation science component so
that evidence-based best practices can be adequately delineated. The entire cascade of care must be dissected and assessed as part of these efforts.” THE LANCET

Vowing to live a healthy lifestyle Participant in 12-week fitness-and-health program says she’s never felt happier about herself PHYLICIA TORREVILLAS
VANCOUVER@METRONEWS.CA
Helen’s journey through a 12-week fitness-and-health program has made her not only look good but also feel good about herself. She, along with nine other people, finished the inaugural YWCA’s Healthy Habits For Healthy Lifestyles program, in which they learned all the basics in nutrition, exercise, diet and stress management. “It’s definitely made me take better care of myself and value my needs,” said Helen, who did not want her last name published. “I was really pleased with myself because it’s not just
about completing something, it’s about continuing to do it.” After the program, she decided to continue going to the gym and even got her husband to eat healthy and stop drinking too much soda. She says before the program, she didn’t want to go swimming because of fear of people looking at her. But now, she has more confidence. “The actual benefits and how I feel after I swim completely outweigh the fear and anxiety about how you look,” she said. Helen’s next goal is to participate in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancer 60kilometre walk and continue to live a healthier life
from here on out. Aiste Ulozaite, fitness coordinator at the YWCA Health and Fitness Centre on Hornby Street, said she’s proud and happy about the accomplishments of all the participants. “We wanted to have a measure on the success of the project,” she said. “One of the goals was to have at least one person going out of it to have a set habit they’re doing and that they’re healthier and happier. And I think we have more than one, so we’re really happy.” The Healthy Habits program began March 3 and paired 10 participants with fitness trainers and University of B.C. human kinetics students.

NDP ready for election, says candidate Hundal The provincial NDP’s newest candidate is confident that the party has emerged from a trying period of infighting stronger than ever, and that the party is ready for a potential fall election. “In my time with the NDP, I’ve never seen a more united caucus,” said Raj Hundal, who won the party’s nomination for the Surrey-Tynehead riding last Sunday. Hundal explained that despite the infighting that led to Adrian Dix taking over as party leader from Carole James, the NDP is in a good position to challenge the governing Liberal party, even if an election comes as soon as this fall. “I think we’re ready for (an election),” he said. “Whether or not there is one, that’s really up to Christy Clark, but people are getting prepared, and

New Delhi go-getter persists to overcome newcomer hurdles The path to success looked smooth to Avnish Soni and his wife Pinki when they attended a New Delhi seminar about emigrating to Canada. Unfortunately, no one could anticipate the global economic crisis that greeted them in British Columbia in early 2009. Today, through personal persistence – and support from Scotiabank – the couple are progressing towards their goals. Back at the 2008 seminar sponsored by Scotiabank, the Soni family was excited about moving to Canada. Bank representatives explained ďŹ nancial services to help them get established in their new country, and Avnish, an MBA-trained branch manager at one of India’s largest banks, was excited by the prospect of seeking work at the Canadian bank. “I’m a go-getter and I liked how Scotiabank was proactive in sharing settlement information and prearranging banking and credit services,â€? recalls Avnish, referring to the Scotiabank StartRight Program1 for Newcomers, which includes a free day-to-day bank account for one year2, a wide range of VISA* card options3 and a number of other customized services and benefits. “I decided to make Canada’s most international bank the ďŹ rst target in my job search.â€?
goal is to be their friend who is a banker, showing them how to lower expenses, manage credit and learn how Canada works.â€? Career-wise, Avnish tells newcomers to stick with their goals, despite the hurdles. “Take a job to put food on the table, but don’t lose focus on what you want to do. Work on your language skills, learn about job market expectations and see how you can add value,â€? he says. Perseverance also helps newcomers reach ďŹ nancial goals. “It’s never too early to start a ďŹ nancial plan, and I guide newcomers on ways to start saving for a home or any goal. For my family and me, our journey has just begun, but we’ve got something to aim for and that’s why we came here.â€? THIS ADVERTORIAL IS PREPARED BY SCOTIABANK.
Scotiabank’s Avnish Soni says persistence can help newcomers reach their goals.
ÂŽ
On arrival in Surrey, BC, the experienced banker was pleasantly surprised when the Scotiabank Branch Manager emerged from his ofďŹ ce to welcome the couple and their two daughters. “I was astonished by the friendly service and how our account and debit cards were waiting for us, as promised in New Delhi,â€? says Avnish, who adds that his unsecured VISA credit card was ready within a week. While the weak economy challenged the Sonis’ immediate career hopes, the Scotiabank Branch Manager accepted Avnish’s resumĂŠ and offered career tips. Pinki applied her teaching degree as a tutor. “We stayed positive and kept working at it,â€? notes Avnish, who worked odd jobs while he studied for his mutual funds license, joined professional associations and often visited the Scotiabank branch to keep in touch. His determination paid off when 18 months later, he was hired into the Bank training program. Recently promoted to Senior Personal Banking Officer at Scotiabank’s suburban White Rock Branch, Avnish is eager to dispense tips on personal ďŹ nance, government services and career-building. “A newcomer has many fears of the unknown, and my

If I remember correctly, it is an assignment as a teacher at Berlin University of the Arts for three years. Why did you accept this new role?

Those wielding power and influence are more likely to lead a “stressful” life, according to new research on baboons. Researchers at Princeton University discovered that alpha males among the wild yellow baboons of Kenya’s Amboseli Basin have higher levels of glucocorticoid, a stress hormone, as well as testosterone. “We found that alpha male baboons exhibit much higher stress hormone levels than beta (second-ranking) males,

Guergis violated ethics code, says watchdog The federal ethics watchdog has found former Ontario MP Helena Guergis broke conflict-ofinterest rules, acting in a way that would further the financial interests of her husband Rahim Jaffer. Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary
Dawson says Guergis contravened the MPs’ code when she wrote a letter in 2009 to municipal politicians in her riding. Guergis lost her re-election bid in Simcoe-Grey in the May 2 federal election.. Guergis, a Conservative MP at the time, asked her
town council to consider a pitch by businessman Jim Wright on a waste-management project. Problem was, her husband had been dealing with Wright. “I determined that Mr. Jaffer was building a business relationship with Mr.
Wright during the period when Ms. Guergis prepared and sent the letter to Simcoe County officials,’’ Dawson says in her report. Dawson finds that Guergis violated a section of the MPs’ code that deals with furthering the private in-
terests of a family member, and another that says MPs cannot use their position to influence a decision that might benefit family. Dawson says she experienced long delays in getting documents she requested from Guergis. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Her own saga Rahim Jaffer and Helena Guergis had a baby boy last year, their first child. Guergis was kicked out of the Conservative caucus in April of last year because of unspecified “serious allegations.” The RCMP later cleared her of any wrongdoing.

Pirates getting bolder: Watchdog YONHAP, JO JUNG-HO/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
World sea attacks up 36 per cent in first half of 2011 Sea piracy worldwide surged to 266 attacks in the first half this year, up 36 per cent from a year ago, as Somali pirates became bolder and raided more vessels, a global maritime watchdog said Thursday. Sixty-one per cent, or 163 of the attacks globally, were carried out by Somali pirates largely in the Arabian Sea frequented by crude oil tankers, the International Maritime Bureau’s piracy reporting centre in Kuala Lumpur said in a statement. This was up from 100 attacks by Somali pirates in the same period last year. “In the last six months, Somali pirates attacked more vessels than ever before and they’re taking higher risks,” said the maritime bureau’s director Pottengal Mukundan. For the first time, pirates in June fired on ships in rough seas in the Indian Ocean during the monsoon season, he said. In the past, they stayed away from attacking in difficult conditions. However, the bureau said Somali pirates hijacked only 21 ships, down from 27 in the first half last year, thanks to increased ship vigilance and interna-
Numbers game As of the end of June, Somali pirates were holding 20 vessels and 420 crew members, and demanding ransoms of millions of dollars for their release, the bureau said. They fired at 76 vessels, killing seven people and injuring 39. At the same time, 62 piracy attempts were reported to have been thwarted in the first half of the year.
tional navies’ action in disrupting pirate groups off East Africa. “It is vital that this naval presence be sustained or increased,” it said. Also this year, a wave of violent and highly organized attacks has hit the coast of West Africa. Twelve tankers were attacked off Benin since March in an area that was free of pirates last year, the bureau said. Five of the vessels were hijacked and forced to sail to unknown locations where pirates ransacked and stole the ship equipment and oil cargo, it said.
South Korean policemen lead Somali pirates, hooded, to South Regional Headquarters Korea Coast Guard in Busan, South Korea, earlier this year.

India ‘vulnerable’ to terror attacks: Minister No group claims responsibility for Wednesday’s bombings in Mumbai
An Indian paramilitary soldier checks the luggage of passengers at the railway station in Gauhati, India, Thursday.
The triple bombing that killed 17 in the heart of India’s financial capital
sparked anger Thursday over the government’s inability to prevent terror
strikes despite overhauling security forces after the 2008 Mumbai siege. Indian officials say they have made extraordinary security reforms since 10 Pakistani terrorists rampaged across the city nearly three years ago, but following Wednesday’s attack they warned they may nev-

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, centre, attends the burial of his half-brother Ahmed Wali Karzai in Karz, Afghanistan, on Wednesday.
Memorial for Karzai’s brother turns bloody A suicide attacker with a bomb hidden inside his turban killed four people, including himself, and wounded 13 others Thursday at a memorial reception for Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s murdered half-brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai. A second separate blast in this embattled southern city killed one other person and injured two others. A spokesman for the provincial governor, Zalmai Ayubi, said there were no federal cabinet members among the casualties. The country’s defence, public works and interior ministers were all in attendance at the memorial service, which was intended to give mem-
bers of the public an opportunity to express their condolences to the family of Ahmed Wali Karzai. The president, who attended his half brother’s funeral Wednesday, apparently returned to Kabul almost immediately afterward aboard a Canadian C-130J transport plane. Maj. Gen. Mohammad Naim Momeen, of the National Directorate of Security, said the bomber, a teenaged boy, was searched before entering, but the explosive was hidden in his turban. “To search the turban is an insult,” Momeen said. “The insurgents are using our traditions and customs against us.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Using his noodle to take a stand NIKO ALM/FOR METRO
Church of the Flying Spaghetti devotee permitted to sport kitchen couture in driver’s licence photo Austrian atheist Niko Alm has won the right to wear a pasta strainer as religious headgear on his driver’s licence after a three-year struggle against the authorities, Austrian media reported this week. Niko is a member of the five-year-old “religion” called the Church of the Flying Spaghetti, the devotees of which call themselves pastafarians. The purpose of the church is to make an ironic, but serious point. “Pastafarianism is nowhere near as absurd as the creationism they teach in schools,” Niko says. Alm applied for the licence after finding out that headgear is allowed in passport photos only for reli-
gious reasons, arguing it was a requirement of his faith. But a police spokesman said the licence was made because Alm’s face was fully visible in the photograph. “The photo was not approved on religious grounds. The only criterion for photos in driving licence applications is that the whole face must be visible,” said Manfred Reinthaler, a police spokesman in Vienna to BBC News. After submitting to a medical examination to establish that he was “psychologically fit” to drive, the driver’s licence was issued and ready to be collected in October 2009, according to the Austrian police.

New hope for U.S. debt-ceiling deal? CHARLES DHARAPAK/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Senate leaders discuss fallback plan as crisis talks continue Same day Wall Street warns of catastrophe The top Democrat and Republican in the U.S. Senate are constructing a legislative detour for President Barack Obama, a path around the bitter partisan divide over raising the American debt limit and avoiding a U.S. default on its spiralling debt. Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic majority leader, and Sen. Mitch McConnell, the top Republican, are at work on a legislative manoeuvre that would give Obama the power to raise the debt limit unilaterally. That would sidestep the seemingly intractable impasse in White House talks that have failed now in five sessions to find an agreement with Republicans in the House of Representatives who are demanding dramatic spending cuts but are refusing Obama’s insistence that tax loopholes also be closed to raise federal
income. Obama’s Treasury Department has said Aug. 2 is the deadline for raising the debt limit to forestall an unprecedented American default on obligations at home and abroad. The Reid-McConnell plan would leave the sharply polarized Congress to legislate whatever spending cuts it could muster. Obama will hold a news conference Friday to address the status of negotiations, his second of the week on a subject that has consumed Washington as the deadline approaches. The United States hit its current $14.3-trillion debt ceiling in May and has been able to juggle the books through the end of July to stay current on its debt payments and obligations to domestic programs. Come Aug. 2, however, various administration officials have suggested members of the U.S. military might go

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning GAGGED. Even one of on-
line video’s biggest stars isn’t immune to copyright claims. Lady Gaga’s YouTube account was suspended Thursday. The notice read that the suspension was due to “multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s copyright policy.” The Google Inc.-owned YouTube declined to comment. It’s YouTube policy to remove accounts after three copyright violations, though they can be restored after being corrected. Reports have suggested that the infringing video was a recently uploaded clip of Gaga’s performance on Fuji TV. The account, “ladygagaofficial,” is one of two for Gaga. The removed channel is run by Gaga’s camp, while she also has an unaffected Vevo account. The Vevo account, which has more than 1.6 billion views, generally debuts her music videos. Co-owned by Universal Music Group and Sony Entertainment, Vevo is a music-video platform that also distributes videos on YouTube. The suspension is expected to be temporary.

Replace the gym with 20 litres of wine Scientists have discovered that resveratrol, a natural substance found in grapes and wine can reverse the negative effects of zero gravity in rats. Why should you care if you are not an astronaut? “We feel the resveratrol would be a good way to prevent the effects of physical inactivity for people who cannot undergo regular activity,” Dr. Stéphane Blanc said.
For the experiment, two groups of rats were suspended by their tails, to create the effect of zero gravity. One group was given daily 400-milligramper-kilogram supplements of resveratrol, the others were given nothing. The scientists initially tested the rats to see whether the resveratrol was able to prevent loss of muscle mass. It was. They then looked at its effect on muscle metabolism. It was positive. After further tests the team found the same dosage of resveratrol had positive effects on bone density and insulin resistance, a cause of diabetes. According to Blanc, the average person would have to drink 20 litres of wine for the equivalent of one reservatrol supplement given to the rats. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Daniel Radcliffe and Ralph Fiennes star in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
Best Potter movie yet Richard Crouse and Phil Brown agree the franchise finale is completely satisfying Creepy villains Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman steal the show
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
Richard Crouse: Mark, the decision to break the final Potter book into two movies was criticized as a money grab, just a cheap way to get a few extra dollars out of Potterheads before the franchise ends. But I have to tell you I think they made the right move. The movie is completely satisfying, with a well told story and great action scenes. What did you think? Mark Breslin: Yes, Richard, you’re right. The movie is completely satisfying. But I think it’s at the expense of the movie that preceded it, which I found inert and talky; the worst of the franchise. But this
one felt like a thrilling send-off to characters we’ve grown to love, with some great action set pieces thrown in for good measure. RC: This is as close to an all-out action movie as there is in the Potter series. Harry’s Horcrux hunt (say that three times fast!) takes up much of the movie leading up to some major revelations, an existential train station scene and a heartwarming conclusion, but along the way it’s an exciting ride. A small quibble though. What did you think of the 3D? It didn’t add much to the experience for me.

MB: The best thing I can say about the 3D is that it was unobtrusive, letting us pay attention to the complex plotting. But I think the movie, unlike most in the series, doesn’t work as a standalone film. It would make little sense if you haven’t seen the last few installments. And fans of Ralph Fiennes’ Voldemort won’t be disappointed — he’s as creepy a villain as you can imagine, with lots of screen time. By the way, I did try saying Harry’s Horcrux Hunt and was kicked out of the restaurant I was in.
since Boris Karloff and really brought something to a character that could have been one note. And you’re right, it isn’t a standalone, but it doesn’t have to be. Harry Potter has stood at the centre of popular culture for the last decade. The franchise is the thing, not just the one picture.
RC: I thought Alan Rickman stole the show. He has the creepiest vocal tics
RC: I have to tell you, I think the new one is the best of the bunch!

Movie reviews
Page One: Inside the New York Times Genre: Documentary Director: Andrew Rossi 888
This documentary spends much time trumpeting the New York Times’s storied past and making predictions for its uncertain future. What it doesn’t cover as well is the here and now. A portrait of a business deeply wounded by online news sources and an exodus of advertisers, it shows us an American tradition in flux. Luckily for them and for us, the New York Times may have no feistier proponent than David Carr, the central figure of the film. The passion the grizzled writer shows for the paper and its place in the history of journalism elevates the doc from infotainment puff piece to compelling argument for the survival of the analogue newspaper. RICHARD CROUSE Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Winnie the Pooh Genre: Family Director: Stephen Anderson, Don Hall 8811
Pooh Bear’s latest bigscreen adventure, simply titled Winnie the Pooh, goes back to the source for its inspiration, weaving together six chapters
of Milne’s stories to form one satisfying whole. Directors Stephen Anderson and Don Hall have wisely updated the story — the pace is snappier than the classic 1960’s cartoons — but kept the elements that have made Pooh an indispensable character for the under-
10 crowd. The gentle humour is in place, along with the beautiful watercolour backgrounds and the voices so connected to the series (they’re done by different people now, but are true to the style established by Walt Disney himself). RICHARD CROUSE
Genre: Drama Director: Wayne Wang Stars: Bingbing Li, Gianna Jun 888 1⁄2
Ambitiously structured but dramatically underwhelming, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan juxtaposes the stories of two intense female friendships taking place 200 years apart in China. The opening sequences are promising, but unfortunately, director Wayne Wang opts for soggy melodrama down the home stretch, undermining his excellent actors and the impressive production design.

fFor many of Robert Pattinson’s most ardent Canadian fans, the summer of 2011 is better known as hunting season. With the British heartthrob based in Toronto for his shoot on the David Cronenberg thriller Cosmopolis, devotees have been in a frenzy trying to suss out what they can about his comings and goings. The Twilight star, who typically draws hundreds of squealing fans to red carpet appearances and fan conventions, arrived in town several weeks ago to star in
the big screen adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel. “I just want to see him ... a glimpse of him would send me off to heaven,” a fan who identifies herself as Myra Munir wrote in an online plea for information at the website On Location Vacations. Those looking for tips on where to stalk stars usually go online, where it’s become increasingly easy to find details on celebrity work schedules, party hangouts and even accommodations.

Actors Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis say their new film Friends with Benefits is more of a buddy comedy NED EHRBAR
MWN IN HOLLYWOOD
Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis want people talking about their new movie, Friends with Benefits. Just don’t call it a romantic comedy. “We always thought of it more as comedy than a romantic comedy,” says Kunis. “If anything, it was a two-hander — a buddy comedy with a little romance in it. Because you care about the characters and you watch the characters fall in love, but it’s not your stereotypical romantic comedy.” Timberlake is on the same page about the film, about two love-weary friends who embark on a sexual relationship with-
out all that messy romance stuff. “I don’t know that we’ve ever treated it like a romantic comedy or a slacker comedy. To me, funny is funny and not funny is not funny,” he says. “And so we just wanted to find the funny in all these situations, and that’s how we treated this.” Friends with Benefits marks a major milestone for both Timberlake and Kunis, as it’s the first time either has top-lined a film, though they’ve both received positive reviews for supporting turns in the Social Network and Bad Teacher in Timberlake’s case, and Black Swan and Forgetting Sarah Marshall in Kunis’. Still, taking the lead has to come with new pres-
sures, but Timberlake insists they’re quickly pushed aside. “We deal with those demons before we sign contracts. After you commit to the movie, you have to let all that stuff go,” he says, though he admits having Kunis along for the ride was a huge help. “That was a little bit of a comfort, knowing that you were going to be sharing the bill and the comedy and the whole movie with a counterpart,” he adds. “There’s never a moment in this movie where it’s just one of us out there by ourselves.” If the premise of Friends with Benefits sounds more than a little familiar, that’s because it’s not the first movie this year to tackle

the idea of pals hooking up. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher gave it a go in January with No Strings Attached.
Kunis, though, doesn’t think audiences will worry about a sense of deja vu. “I think that movies are movies, and there’s only so
many original stories to be told in the world, and that’s the truth,” she says. “There’s what, like, seven different stories.”

After the 360 Tour - what’s next for U2?
WILL U2 EVER TOP ITSELF? SOUND CHECK
ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA
ǣ
As I stood watching U2 play the 105th of 111 shows on their 360 Tour, all I kept thinking was “Now what?” No tour has sold more tickets or grossed this much money. Every single show throughout the seven legs has sold out — this despite a million tickets having been thrown into disarray by Bono’s back injury last year. By the time it comes to an end in Moncton, on the 30th, the total box office take will be somewhere around $700 million. So I ask again: Now what? Everyone in the industry that I’ve heard from — including the mysterious Arthur Foegel of Live Nation, the Canadian mastermind behind this tour and mega-tours by Madonna, the Police, David Bowie and other superstars — acknowledges that there isn’t another act on the planet capable of duplicating what U2 has done. Even the U2 organization itself can’t imagine anything bigger or more successful. Why? After 35 years, U2 remains a working rock ’n’ roll band that still can release albums and
have them go platinum around the world. Their catalogue is so deep that it spans generations of fans. Everyone goes to the shows because they love different parts of that catalogue. Tours are global events that attract heads of state. (When I saw the show in Moscow last summer, Mikhail Gorbachev was in the stands behind me.) There’s just not another act with U2’s musical firepower or financial backing. There isn’t another band capable of raising the start-up capital for staging a tour as big as 360. U2 and their people had to spend upwards of $150 million before a single ticket was sold. The three Claw stages alone cost $35 million each. Their construction is so sophisticated that bidders from four continents want to buy them for conversion into permanent concert pavilions. In the current musical environment, I can’t see anyone ever outdoing this U2 tour. The Rolling Stones? They might come close, but they’d have to play more shows — and at their ages, that would be tough. I may just have to fly to Moncton to see that final show. Not because I want to see U2 again but because once the lights go down at the end of the set, I fear that we will never, ever see the likes of a rock ’n’ roll show on this scale ever again.

Miranda Kerr names her kid after dead ex Actress gets permission from Bloom to name the baby after her first love
ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES
Miranda Kerr named her and Orlando Bloom’s son in part after a deceased exboyfriend, she tells Australia’s Daily Telegraph. One of baby Flynn’s middle names, Christopher, was chosen in honour of Kerr’s first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, who died in a car accident as a teenager. “Chris and I had been dating for two years,� she says. “After he died, I wrote him a letter that said I hoped to name my first child after him in some way. I told Orlando and he was the one who said he’d be happy to do that. Orlando’s a good guy.�

Ideal grilling season grapes PETER ROCKWELL LIQUIDASSETS@EASTLINK.CA TWITTER: @THEREALWINEGUY
Though I don’t work magic in the kitchen as much as I used to, I’m still a cookbook fan. Culinary text and images never fail to inspire me to nag my wife to recreate whatever catches my eye. One of my favourite recent releases is Jeff Potter’s Cooking For Geeks (O’Reilly, $43.99): A macho tome that reads more like an issue of Popular Science than an artsy Gordon Ramsay creation. Potter takes the MythBusters route by explaining the ins and out of everything from baking bread to making things melt in weird ways in what ends up as a fascinating read. But experimenting with Potter may have to wait until after barbecue season: The few months when I can hold up my end of meal creation. One of my favourite grilling grapes is zinfandel and the 2008 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin ($16.95 - $19.99) from California is a mocha-meetsdeep berry wonder that will rock everything from cut of beef to a burger and fries.

These Pork Chops with Yuzu-Miso Marinade are marinated in miso overnight for two reasons. First, it takes time for the pork to absorb the miso flavour. Second, it gives the active bacteria culture in miso time to tenderize the meat. The result is tender, lip-smacking chops with a pleasing touch of heat from yuzu kosho.
Preparation:
1
Mix miso, sake, mirin, yuzu kosho, scallions, and sesame oil in bowl to make marinade. Pour three-fourths of marinade into baking dish or rimmed sheet
Ingredients: • 1/4 cup red miso • 1 tablespoon sake • 1 tablespoon mirin • 2 teaspoons red yuzu kosho • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions (white and green parts) • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 11/2 pounds)

Caps ship Dunfield to Toronto FC

MATT KIELTYKA
@METRONEWS.CA
The Vancouver Whitecaps opened the door for further reinforcements Thursday by shipping off hometown player Terry Dunfield to Toronto. The Canadian international midfielder was traded for allocation money and future considerations in a move that caught many fans off guard. Whitecaps head coach and director of soccer operations Tom Soehn said the trade was made with an eye to the future. “I felt that was an area we needed to get stronger,” Soehn said. “It’s more about Terry as an individual. He was a fantastic pro for us. It gives us the possibility to look to make our team better.” The international-transfer window for Major League Soccer officially opens Friday, allowing clubs to sign players outside the league. Vancouver already announced their first move earlier this week, signing Gambia striker Mustapha Jarju as their second bigmoney designated player. The club was tactful when asked if a new midfielder was imminent following the Dunfield trade. “The opening of the transfer window will bring a lot of activity in our league,” foreshadowed Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi. Dunfield, the only B.C. player on the squad, had one goal and three assists in the first half of the Whitecaps’ inaugural season in MLS.

Problem is the B.C. Lions knew what they gave up, don’t care, and wouldn’t want him back anyway.

sam told reporters after practice in Edmonton Thursday. The Eskimos gave up a 2013 fifth-round draft pick to get Messam late in training camp after the Lions’ senior players met with head coach Wally Buono and, in an unusual move, told him despite all that Messam brings to the team athletically, he had to go. The Lions knew it was a lot to give up. The 26-year-old has been a beast early on this CFL season. On July 9, he ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns as the 2-0 Eskimos beat up
on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 28-10. He was named the CFL’s offensive player of the week and is currently second in the rushing standings with 141 yards and 5.4 yards per carry. Messam said the fit in Edmonton so far has been like a glove. “I feel like I’ve earned the respect of the guys on my team and that’s what I wanted to do when I got here.” What ultimately went wrong in B.C.? “Maybe it just wasn’t a good fit,” he said.

Man City serious about friendly Soccer fans can expect a spirited effort from Manchester City when they play in Vancouver Monday, their assistant manager insisted. Brian Kidd promised his squad will be motivated against the Whitecaps, even though it’s merely a preseason fixture for the FA Cup champions. “From my view, it’s part of our preparation and
we’re taking it very seriously,” said Kidd, a former NASL soccer player. “(Our) players are playing for places in the squad. There is good competition.” The friendly — just two days after Vancouver’s MLS match with Real Salt Lake at home — is shaping up to be a spectacle. Big names like Spain’s David Silva and England’s
Gareth Barry will be in for Man City, Empire Field will sport natural grass specifically for the match and the FA Cup will be at the field for fans to take pictures with.

Calvillo’s greatness becoming unquestionable CRAIG KLEM/ALLSPORT
CFL EXTRA POINTS DAN TOTH
VANCOUVER@METRONEWS.CA
The debate over Anthony Calvillo’s place in CFL history has started, even though the sensational quarterback is a long way from finished. Detractors argue that although A.C.’s career numbers make him appear to be the best QB in CFL history, the Als star is just a capable player who profits from playing on great teams. Plenty of CFL followers will tell you Calvillo’s not as talented as Doug Flutie, Ron Lan-
caster, Jeff Garcia, Warren Moon, etc. The 39-year-old Calvillo last week tied Damon Allen’s all-time CFL record of 394 touchdown passes when he threw for five majors in Montreal’s win over Saskatchewan. While Calvillo might not be your first choice if you were starting an expansion team, he’s more than just a decent QB who was lucky to land with a great franchise. Not only does Calvillo own three Grey Cup rings with the Als, he’s also on course to establishing a new record for career passing yards before season’s end. And don’t be surprised if he caps that off with a fourth Grey Cup ring. Dunigan’s head still in the game: Not long ago, a player suffer-
Anthony Calvillo, shown here during the 2000 Grey Cup, has been consistent throughout his career. Now he’s challenging for some of the CFL’s most coveted records.
ing a mild concussion was said to have “had his bell rung” and would often return to the game with little consideration for future effects. Recent advances in science and a more humane approach to player health have made brain injury research a priority.
CFL Hall of Famer Matt Dunigan sat down with the CFL on TSN’s Brian Williams last week to reveal his own personal fight with head injuries and post-concussion syndrome and how concussions have affected his life. Despite retiring 15 years ago, Dunigan is still affected by the dozen concussions he suffered during his stellar career. Dunigan will donate his brain to concussion research in hopes that “they’ll be
able to advance the science and understanding of concussions and brain injuries to help others.” Toothless Lions: B.C. Lions head coach/general manager Wally Buono said it best. “It’s very ugly,” he said. “It’s sickening.” Buono was referring to the video of Lions defensive back Stanley Franks’ gruesome knee injury, but he could have just as easily been talking about the Leo’s 0-2 start to the CFL season. Franks was taken off the field on a cart, and the initial diagnosis is a severe dislocation of the knee. Now Buono has another headache. In addition to his team’s slow start, Buono now has to make adjustments in his secondary when the 0-2 Lions face Ricky Ray and the 2-0 Edmonton Eskimos Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium.
Amateur leads pack at British Open Lewis first amateur to lead round at a major since 1976
‘He could be my grandson,’ says playing partner Watson PETER MORRISON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tom Lewis shares a name with one of the British Open’s greatest champions. The kid sure lived up to it Thursday. Lewis, a 20-year-old amateur, shot a 5-under 65 to share the lead after the opening round of golf’s oldest major — a day that was even more special because he played alongside the man he was named after: five-time British Open champion Tom Watson. “I was more nervous not to embarrass myself in front of him,” Lewis said. No worries there. Lewis pulled off some Watsonlike shots at Royal St. George’s, making four straight birdies coming down the stretch before a par-saving tap-in at the 18th left him tied with Thomas Bjorn.
Amateur elite Tom Lewis posted the lowest round ever for an amateur at the British Open. His score of 65 beats the 66s posted by Frank Stranahan in 1950, Tiger Woods’ in 1996 and Justin Rose in 1998.
England’s Tom Lewis shoots out of the bunker on the 6th hole on Thursday.
“I just had to smile inside watching him play,” said the 61-year-old Watson, who needed seven more strokes than his namesake to get around the course.
“I didn’t play particularly well myself, but I certainly was impressed by the way he played.” Lewis’s late-afternoon charge was definitely impressive, but it didn’t total-
ly overshadow an earlymorning round by Bjorn, who was playing at this course on the English seaside for the first time since his meltdown in the 2003 Open.
That year he threw away a two-stroke lead on the final three holes — he needed three swings just to escape the bunker at No. 16 — and allowed Ben Curtis to snatch away the claret jug with one of the sport’s most shocking upsets. Two very different players. Two hugely compelling stories atop the leaderboard. “I’m 40 years old,” Bjorn
said, “and there might just be a little bit more in me.” U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy got off to a sluggish start but was still in the mix, putting up a 71 that left him six strokes back. Considering he played in the morning, when conditions were tougher, McIlroy had no complaints about a round that began with two bogeys on the first three holes. “It was a day where you just needed to grind out a score,” McIlroy said. “Anywhere around even par was a good start.” In the afternoon, the gusting breezes off the Strait of Dover died down and the rain held off, resulting in about twice as many rounds in the 60s as the morning starters put up.
