A recent report from RBC Economics noted Nova Scotia’s domestic economy has had an “underwhelming” start to 2011, with retail sales falling by 0.5 Darrell Dexter per cent and non-residential construction decreasing by 0.4 per cent. Nova Scotia ranked last amongst the provinces in terms of real GDP growth for the second year in a row. ALEX BOUTILIER

Investigation counters harassment claims A Halifax Regional School Board investigation has concluded that a former principal did not bully or harass other teachers. Jane Gourley left her post as principal of St. Margarets Bay Elementary School in May after multiple teachers
claimed she harassed and bullied them, board spokesman Doug Hadley said Thursday. Gourley applied and was accepted to be the principal of Rockingham Elementary, but she withdrew from the position in June, said Hadley. “When this all came up, she worked centrally at the board’s headquarters in Dartmouth for the last six weeks of the school year.” The board made the announcement in an email on Thursday.

Bystanders of Saturday’s Pride parade will be showered with rose pedals.

What could be better than watching your favourite Bill Murray films on a 30foot inflatable screen on the Halifax waterfront? For Tracey Rudoloph, only a visit from Murray himself, her favourite movie star, would do. “He’s not very cookie cutter or your run-of-themill comedian that’s for

As a friend of the series’ organizers, she helped start a Facebook group and organized a poster campaign in New York City around a tea shop Murray frequents in hopes of bringing him to

Ideally, she hopes he’d do a bit of acting, with the Halifax harbour as the perfect prop. “When he was sailing in What About Bob? and he’s roped to the mast of the pole — he could do that sailing into the movie. That would be hilarious.” she said.

The substance — dubbed “biological mass” by police — was taken in for testing and the area was taped off by police, with an officer remaining on scene for several hours.

Ty Gibson didn’t have a problem running full force at a tackle dummy on Thursday at the Graham Creighton Junior High School field. It was the 11-year-old’s favourite part “so far” of the first-ever TrySport Program football camp, he said. “I’m here to learn to get better at football because it’s one of my favourite sports,” Gibson said before charging out into the field. Developed by the Preston patrol unit of the RCMP, the two-day camp is geared at exposing kids and young teens from the Cherry Brook, Lake Loon, and East and North Preston areas to football and to promote leadership and community, said Cpl. Calvin Byard. “Our goal is to bring the youth together to interact with the police and to show them the other side of us and how we operate outside of an actual generated call,” he said. About 45 participants were running shuffle and footwork training exercises led by six past and current university and high school football players. Halifax Football Association member Al Giacalone

Ex-general is fined for affair
Federal officials have released the names of 30 suspected war criminals they say entered the country illegally.

There are stringent measures to prevent war criminals from entering the country, but it can be difficult to spot those who apply for asylum using false passports, he said.
Former No. 1 man in Afghanistan pleads guilty to having illicit relations there then urging a cover up The dramatic fall from grace of a once-rising star in Canada's military culminated Thursday in a $7,000 fine and a symbolic reprimand. This was after former Brig.-Gen. Daniel Menard had already gone from being a prominent military commander, to an unemployed civilian fighting to keep his family and rebuild his tattered reputation. It unravelled following an affair with a subordinate, a fling that began in Canada and continued in the makeshift military living quarters in the dusty confines of Kandahar. Menard pleaded guilty Thursday before a military

Louis-Vincent d'Auteuil, a military judge, cited principles of integrity, honesty and leadership as he read out his verdict. “This happened in the worst place, at the worst time — in a theatre of operation,” he said. He said Menard had an admirable career to that point, which is why he was made a general at such a young age. D’Auteuil said that positive track record was also

Murdoch. Troubles mount
Scotland Yard to probe claim Murdoch’s reporters paid police to ping — or track — cellphone signals Embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch must listen to a new noise in the already deafening phonehacking scandal: Pinging. Scotland Yard was asked Thursday to look into claims that reporters at Murdoch’s News of the World paid officers to obtain people’s locations by pinging — tracking their cellphone signals. The practice is known as pinging because of the way cellphone signals bounce or “ping” off relay towers. Jenny Jones, a Green Party member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, cited claims that reporters

Sean Hoare, a former News of the World reporter, said officers were paid nearly $500 per trace. Hoare was found dead Monday at his home near London. Police say the
death is not suspicious. Pinging joins a host of alleged media misdeeds being put under the microscope as police, politicians and the public weigh allegations that News of the World journalists engaged in years of lawless behaviour to get scoops. The crisis has shaken Murdoch’s media empire and has led to resignations of two of Scotland Yard’s most senior officers. British politicians have felt the heat too, with the country’s top two party leaders falling over each other to distance themselves from papers they once courted assiduously. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Atlantis makes final touchdown
Darkness robbed almost all views of shuttle approaching for last time, making it more of NASA family affair Atlantis and four astronauts returned from the International Space Station in triumph Thursday, bringing an end to NASA’s 30-year shuttle journey with one last, rousing touchdown that drew cheers and tears. Thousands gathered near the landing strip and packed Kennedy Space Center, and countless others watched from afar, as NASA’s longest-running spaceflight program came to a close. “After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle’s earned its place in history. And it’s come to a final stop,” commander Christopher Ferguson ra-
dioed after a ghostlike Atlantis glided through the twilight. “Job well done, America,” replied Mission Control. With the space shuttles retiring to museums, it will be another three to five years at best before Americans are launched again from U.S. soil, as private companies gear up to seize the Earth-to-orbit-and-back baton from NASA. The long-term future for American space exploration is just as hazy, a huge concern for many at NASA and all those losing their jobs because of the shuttle’s end. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“The space shuttle has changed the way we view the world and it’s changed the way we view our universe. There’s a lot of emotion today, but one thing’s indisputable: America’s not going to stop exploring." ATLANTIS COMMANDER CHRISTOPHER FERGUSON
Space Shuttle Atlantis comes to a complete stop at the Kennedy Space Center landing strip at Cape Canaveral Thursday. The landing of Atlantis marks the end of NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program.

But the original robotic arm, which was taken into space in 1981, was recently retired with the shuttle Endeavour and will be returned to Canada later this year. Eight Canadian astronauts have flown 14 times on the U.S. fleet of space shuttles.
NASA seeks space taxis How America gets people and stuff into orbit is about to be outsourced in an out-of-this-world way. With the space shuttle’s retirement Thursday, no longer will flying people and cargo up to the International Space Station be a government program where costs balloon. NASA is turning to private industry with fixed prices, contracts and profit margins. The space agency will be the customer, not the boss.
At least when it comes to the routine part of going to and from the space station, NASA hopes to rely on companies that will be the space version of FedEx and Yellow Cab. The company that has been leading the commercial space race is hoping to launch its privately built rocket and capsule to the space station late this year. It won’t carry astronauts, but if all goes well the unmanned ship will dock
with the station and deliver food, water and clothing. And its major private cargo competitor may only be a month or two on its heels. Getting people to orbit on a new American ship is a different story. Some ambitious companies hope to launch astronauts that way in three years, maybe four. Until then, the Russians will fly astronauts on a pay-for-play basis. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Loblaws to find ‘sweet spot’ in sales Rising food prices are an item on the radar of Loblaw executives as they chart the grocery
chain’s course this year. The ideal strategy is to find a pricing “sweet spot” where sales volumes don’t suffer, says president and CEO Allan Leighton. “There’s a lot of inflation in commodities ... 50 or 60 per cent of food produced in Canada is for domestic use,” he said.

Sell before prices cool: Report Housing may slow to rate not seen in about 15 years The time may be right for Canadian homeowners to consider selling as industry experts forecast that prices should soon hit a peak and at best flatten over the next few years. The Royal Bank forecast Thursday that the Canadian market will return to a period of much slower sales and pricing growth. “Going forward, the housing market will look much like the second half of 1990s, with minimum
growth in resales and minimum growth if any in terms of pricing,” said senior economist Robert Hogue. In its housing market outlook report, the bank forecast that home resales will grow by 0.9 per cent this year and remain unchanged in 2012, while home prices will increase by 4.4 per cent this year and a slight 0.4 per cent in 2012. That would mark a moderation or cooling off from
strong growth enjoyed between 2002 and 2008. That period was followed by volatility caused by the global recession and domestic policy changes — such as a sharp drop in interest rates, three rounds of mortgage rule changes and the introduction of the HST in Ontario and British Columbia. “We are taking a more sanguine view on the economy than other analysts out there,” Hogue noted.

business Greece to get second bailout
in Halifax
Federal and Ontario governments now out of the auto business The federal and Ontario governments have sold their remaining stakes in automaker Chrysler to its parent company Italian car producer Fiat for US$140 million. The sale, announced yesterday, is essentially the final repayment of Canadian government loans to the automaker two years ago as part of a $1.7-billion bailout to help the Detroit company survive the North American auto sector’s worst downturn ever. The two Canadian governments received about a 1.7 per cent stake in Chrysler when they initially made the loans, as part of a wider bailout led by the United States government. The help for Chrysler, and an even larger financial package for industry giant General Motors Corp. by

Chrysler repays final loan
Eurozone leaders say they will work with the International Monetary Fund to give Greece a second bailout worth 109 billion euros, or about US$150 billion. They say banks and other private investors will also contribute some 37 billion euros to the rescue package. “For the first time since the beginning of this crisis, we can say that the politics and the markets are coming together,” said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. The deal resolves a political deadlock between Europe's top economic authorities over how to save Greece that had investors worried the debt crisis would spin out of control, endangering the stability of big economies like Italy.

Chrysler and GM slimmed down their operations and cut plants and thousands of jobs in both countries to become more competitive. However, Ottawa and Ontario estimate that 52,000 Canadian jobs were protected by government help.

Justin Bieber The Wedding Crasher: It didn’t have the comic effect of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, but nonetheless the “Ohmigod!” factor was huge when Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez (who turns 19 Friday, FYI) crashed a Malibu wedding party last weekend. The Biebs tweeted after the fact, “WEDDING CRASHERS last night! hahaha. too funny. crazy story.” Ottawa Bluesfest: Cheap Trick brought the house down literally on Sunday night during a performance at Bluefest. A huge storm suddenly blew in out of nowhere, knocking the entire stage down where they were playing. The band managed to get off the stage just before it crumpled to the ground. This incident gives new meaning to their classic hit, Surrender. Moneyball: Brad Pitt’s Moneyball, based on the 2003 bestseller on the “sabermetric” approach to assembling a winning major league baseball team, comes out in September. And even though Moneyball’s myths are exposed in a new book The Beauty of Short Hops: How Chance and Circumstance Confound the Moneyball Approach to Baseball, a Brad Pitt baseball movie will be a box office home run.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder Worth Mentioning MUSLIMS. Attitudes toward Muslims have become slightly more positive in the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Russia compared with five years ago, though negative views between Muslim countries and the West persist on both sides, a Pew Center survey found. The survey, by Pew’s Global Attitudes Project, found majorities of Muslims surveyed in five of six Muslim-dominant countries and the Palestinian territories described non-Muslim Westerners as selfish and greedy. In all of the six Western countries surveyed, less than 30 per cent of non-Muslims said they consider Muslims respectful of women. Ten years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the World Trade Centre in the United States, Muslims in the Middle East and Asia and non-Muslims both have concern about Islamic extremism. The surveys were conducted between late March and mid-May. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chris Evans in Captain America.
Old-fashioned action Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin agree that Captain America is more of an action flick than another superhero movie But it has flaws, like sloppy CGI
Richard Crouse: Mark, I went into this with low expectations. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of superheroed out these days, but I was pleasantly surprised. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit long, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like the other hero movies weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen recently. The hipness of Iron Man is absent, the jokey feel of Thor is gone. Instead, this is an old-fashioned action adventure movie with extraordinary poets at the heart of it. What did you think? Mark Breslin: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m superheroed out as well but this guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no superhero: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enhanced mesomorph with a magic frisbee! The movie works as an action flick, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing the irony of the source materi-
al. Is America so desperate to believe in its military that it has to go back to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the last good warâ&#x20AC;? to feel good about itself ? And I have other complaints too, like the sloppy CGI. In the beginning, Chris Evans as a 99-pound weakling looked like a bad photoshopped pic from 2003. RC: I liked its lack of irony. Perhaps part of the appeal is that in the complicated times we live in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to see a movie that harkens back to a simpler time when the enemy was easily identifiable and a strong guy with a colourful shield and plenty of heart could be a hero. The premesomorph Evans may have been a bit sloppy CGI-
wise, but you have to admit, Red Skullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of identifiable facial features was a nice villainous touch. MB: It may say too much about me that I always enjoy the villain rather than the hero. And Hugo Weaving was very good indeed, especially with his red skull. And Tommy Lee Jones always brings his game to a movie, even if the role was rote. Same with Stanley Tucci and Toby Young. The satiric USO tour sequence was fun. And I liked the way the movie ended. See, Richard? I can find the good in anything, even jingoistic propaganda. RC: I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jingoistic
propaganda, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1940s jingoistic propaganda! I liked the way the movie paid tribute to the rah-rah movies of WWII and B movies of the period. The bad guys are really bad, but never fear! The good guys are better. Where else are you going to see giant bombs, each labeled for extra evil effect with the name of the city they are meant to destroy? MB: The labeling of the bombs was exactly what I wanted more of! I would forgive this movie its flaws if its strengths were greater. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly derivative storytelling, choppy editing and unmemorable dialogue. Good action, though.

Harris talks Smurfs with Metro Actor Neil Patrick Harris shares his grown-up thoughts about the beloved childrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; franchise NED EHRBAR
MWN IN HOLLYWOOD
Aside from getting the chance to help update a beloved franchise, there was one main draw about starring in the Smurfs for Neil Patrick Harris: It was nothing like his over-thetop How I Met Your Mother character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spend six-and-a-half, seven months a year playing the chewing-on-thescenery Barney Stinson, and so I look for a role that is different than him in some way during my off time,â&#x20AC;? he says. And his character, Patrick Winslow, a father-to-be and put-upon marketing exec whose New York apartment becomes a hideout for Smurfs, is indeed nothing like Barney. The character is also ap-
parently a departure from Harris himself, who admits he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as welcoming as his onscreen persona if a gaggle of little blue people were to invade his home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably Taze them and keep them in a small box and quickly find a reality show or some way to make a profit from it, and travel around like the Warner Bros. cartoon with the frog,â&#x20AC;? he says before stopping to consider the severity of his answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Gargamel, apparently.â&#x20AC;? The notoriously sunny actor strays to the darker side of humour again when pressed on what his Smurf name would be, were he to suddenly find himself three apples high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be Snuff Smurf, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d end the suffering of all the dying smurfs every-

like magic.â&#x20AC;? Just because Harris has now starred alongside the legendary Smurfs doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean all his Smurf-related
questions have been answered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shagging Smurfette, really? They always kind of go, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ooh,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and then they pass out,

but I want to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on late at night in Smurf Village,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does she get passed from Smurf to Smurf ? Is she a one-Smurf girl?

Twilight stars surprise fans at Comic-Con
Movie reviews
MICHAEL BUCKNER/GETTY IMAGES FOR SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT
Early risers among Twilight fans have gotten a chance to see what some of their big-screen idols look like first thing in the morning. Not long after dawn broke Thursday, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser and other costars of the supernatural movie franchise made a surprise visit to greet fans who had camped out for days to catch a preview of the next Twilight flick at Comic-Con. Greene, Reed and Reaser, who play members of the Cullen vampire family in Twilight, were joined by Julia Jones and Boo Boo Stewart, who co-star as kinfolk in the rival werewolf pack. The actors signed Twilight posters, mugs and other movie memorabilia, posed for pictures with

fans and even served some breakfast goodies to “Twihards,” some of whom were in line since Monday afternoon to get into the preview at Comic-Con, a massive gathering for fans of comics, video games, television and film. “I am a morning person, but this is definitely early, getting up at 4:30,” Reed said. “But when people
have been camped out since Monday, you just feel it’s a good idea to come out and surprise them.” “I feel like this is our time to get out and have actual experiences with fans,” Reaser said. “Being out here with them makes me feel the films are special, important and really mean something to them.”
Friends with Benefits Genre: Comedy Director: Will Gluck Stars: Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake 881
In the inevitable comparison between Friends with Benefits and January’s No Strings Attached, the new-
er film, starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, comes out on top. The comedy is sharper, the pace brisker, and while Timberlake is alarmingly limited as an actor, he’s vastly preferable to Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached. Kunis does the
heavy lifting to make up for her partner’s blandness, and she nearly runs away with the movie. The only real fault is an emotional storyline about Timberlake’s character’s father and Alzheimer’s, which grounds the movie to a halt. NED EHRBAR

Like father, eventually like son
PRE-OWNED LOT NOW OPEN!

Eldest son of Bob Marley uses new album to both embrace and push away from family legacy LAURENT GILLIERON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ziggy Marley is proudly carrying on his father’s musical legacy, but he wants to remind reggae lovers of their differences. In a new album, the 42year-old eldest son of Bob Marley reflects on lessons learned from his dad, who died at age 36 from cancer. On the tune The Roads Less Travelled, he sings about his father’s womanizing ways and inability to shed “yes men” in success: “My daddy had a lot of women, and my mama had a lot of grief. The bredrens (friends) that surrounded him became the enemies.” Marley said in an interview that while he’s happy to expand his and his family’s brand — whether with a Marijuana Man comic book or a Marley’s Mellow Mood “relaxation drink” — he’s kept his circle of friends small and purposefully avoided accumulating any sort of entourage. “I’d rather be by myself really than have like a million posse around me,” Marley said in an inter-

view at his Los Angeles home. “Some of them you don’t even know what’s in their hearts. You don’t know who you can trust. “That’s why I sing that song, because I learned from what I saw as a child and decided that I would take another way,” added Marley, who was just 12 when his father died. “My father, we bumped heads when I was younger, much younger. ... I had dif-
ferent ideas that I shared with him. He didn’t like them as much. He gets upset or whatever. I guess I had a strong opinion from when I was a little boy, you know.” Marley’s fourth solo studio album, Wild and Free, also includes a song obliquely about leaving behind his birthplace of Jamaica, titled Get Out of Town. The five-time Grammy
winner now lives primarily in Miami. “He’s from the country and I was born in the town. One day I told him that. I don’t want to be a country boy,” Marley said of his father. “He was upset with those things. And then another time it was about dreadlocks. I said to him, ‘You cannot have dreadlocks. You can be dread in your heart.’ He was very upset. Each fa-
ther want their sons to be just like them really.” But now that Marley — who does sport dreadlocks — has matured, his singing voice and his take on reggae music is arguably more evocative of Bob than others in his famously musical family. “If it wasn’t natural to be like him, it wouldn’t happen. But since it naturally evolved to have a lot of the ideas and traits of my father, then that’s fine,” he said. Like his father, Marley couches some downbeat themes in sunny-sounding tunes. “Welcome to the world. I can’t promise it’s a good place,” he sings to his children in one song.

Vince Neil is not a man of many words. This isn’t surprising, considering that most of the words he sings with Motley Crue were written by Nikki Sixx anyway. We spoke with Neil from his tour bus in Tampa. I’ve read that you guys have something called a drum roller coaster on this tour. How has that been working?
Oh it’s great. I mean, people are loving it. It’s obviously something different. When you’re rehearsing for the tour, at what point does something like a drum roller coaster come into the picture?
At the very end. ... Our very first U.S. show was Dallas, so we set up in the place where we were playing for
like three days, then rehearsed the new set. We did pyro, the roller coaster and then everything else.
You’re touring with Poison and the New York Dolls. The first incarnation of the Dolls had imploded by the time the Crue first came out. Tell me how they influenced you.
On this tour, you let fans select the set lists. Any surprises?
If you read any of our early bios, the New York Dolls were one of our influences for Motley Crue. The style, not only fashion style, but the song style. If you listen to a lot of stuff on the first record, you can hear some Dolls in there. We love those kind of bands, like the Sweet, that kind of glam, that’s what we kind of fashioned ourselves as.
No. I mean, a lot of the songs we knew were gonna be on there, obviously like Girls, Girls, Girls and Wild Side and (Dr.) Feelgood and Home Sweet Home. ... But some of them, like Smokin’ in the Boys Room was a big fan favourite. We hadn’t played that in a long time. And then Too Young To Fall In Love, which we hadn’t played in like 20 years.
Vince Neil
Nikki wrote a lot of the songs. When you sing those words after all these years do you get something new out of it?
Is that because you reached an age where you weren’t too young to fall in love?
Well, no. I mean, I’m performing. I’m not acting out those words, I’m singing a song. ... That’s all.
Well, that song was written 25 years ago. (Laughs) It’s just a song, man.
Has life on the road slowed down over the years, or is it
still like the Crue bio, The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band?
Well, we were a young band. We’ve been together for 30 years now, you know. ... We’re not drug addicts like we were. There are things that you do when you’re 20 years old you don’t do when you’re 50.

A very Bublé Christmas Michael Bublé recording Christmas album, including duet with Shania Twain
Michael Bublé says that he wanted to make “the quintessential Christmas record.”
All Michael Bublé wants for Christmas is Shania Twain — and it looks like his wish has been granted. In a live video chat with fans this week, Bublé revealed that he’s been recording a Christmas album and he’s already done a splashy duet with his fellow Canuck pop star. “There’s a couple duets that I really like, one with Shania Twain, which is really fantastic,” Bublé said in a video streamed from the historic Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. “White Christmas, we did. We did it bouncy. I was inspired by Home Alone, the Drifters.” The Burnaby, B.C., native said that the record would
“I know this is going to sound weird, but I think you guys can expect probably the best album I’ve made so far.” MICHAEL BUBLÉ be helmed by Canadian producers David Foster and Bob Rock. And while he hasn’t finalized the track list yet, he says he’s also recorded Jingle Bells with the U.K. swing trio the Puppini Sisters, as well as versions of Blue Christmas, Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas is You and an original track co-penned with musical director Alan Chang. Though Bublé didn’t indicate when the Christmas record would be released, his enthusiasm for the proj-
ect was obvious. “I wanted to make the quintessential Christmas record,” said the three-time Grammy winner. “I wanted to make a record that would outlive me, and I wanted to do for people what Bing Crosby did for me. He introduced me to the world of jazz and melody. “And I didn’t want to be hip or edgy. I just wanted to make a really sweet Christmas record that kids can grow up with.” Although the 35-year-old issued a Christmas EP in
2003 called Let it Snow, he dismissed that project now and said this was the holiday-themed record he had been waiting to make. “I wanted to record this album from the start. The truth is, the only reason I didn’t do it is because I felt like I had to establish myself more as an artist before I gave myself the opportunity to put out a Christmas record,” he said. “We did an EP years and years ago, it was six songs, but that wasn’t mine. I was just a kid, and I sort of just sang on it. And even the arrangements weren’t mine. ... I didn’t have my imprint on it except for the voice.”

rolling in cash after years of writing hits for Beyoncé and Shakira. • Comedian Ricky Ger-
vais was of a techno-pop duo called Seona Dancing (correctly pronounced as “Shawna Dancing”) in the early 80s. They were a miserable failure except for a song called More to Lose, which became a substantial hit in the Philippines. • Chris Martin of Coldplay has an honours degree in Greek and Latin. • Buzz band Foster the People was originally called Foster & the People after singer Mark Foster, but when audiences kept mishearing the name as “Foster the People,” they
made the switch. • Adele says she was inspired to get into music by the Spice Girls. Her earliest gigs featured her singing songs like Wannabe. • For this final stage of U2’s 360 Tour, the band flies in around 5 p.m., plays the gig and is back on their private plane by midnight. • Sales of CDs are now so weak it’s possible to make it onto the Canadian Top 200 album chart by selling fewer than 200 copies.

Adele tied Kanye West with seven nominations. The bestselling Brit will compete with Perry for top video with Rolling in the Deep.

For the millions of readers who fell in love with the character Precious in Sapphire’s 1996 book Push, and then the AcademyAward winning film adaptation Precious: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire, the author warns her follow-up novel, The Kid, is not going to be “your favourite bedtime story with a predictable ending.

complex and probing.” Indeed. Through 376 sometimes heart-wrenching pages, The Kid follows Precious’ son Abdul through the death of his mother, then through a myriad of abuse from his foster home to the hands of demented priests of a Catholic boys’ home, then to his great-grandmother’s roach-filled apartment until he finally finds solace in dance. But even that escape isn’t total — Abdul is a seriously flawed character, one
who heaps abuse on others the way it was done to him. “Precious isn’t destroyed by her demons, she’s destroyed by poor medical care and indifference,” says Sapphire on the difference between her characters. “Abdul is not destroyed, he is strong enough to fight back. Precious was a total victim. With The Kid, we have to look at a person who is flawed himself.” And despite its bleak tone, Sapphire says The Kid isn’t a dark novel — it’s just a tougher one. “It’s just a much harder novel,” she claims. “I feel like a lot of people thought she’d get the right medication and live. But because I’m a writer who adheres to social realism, you know women like Precious don’t have that outcome. So I took the heaviest parts of what is happening with families who are devastated by AIDS and poverty and put it on the shoulders of Abdul.”

In his new young adult novel, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Ransom Riggs brews a cauldron of time-tested creep factors. The story takes place on an all but abandoned island off the coast of Wales, where 16-year-old Jacob arrives after losing his grandfather in an accident. Thankfully, there’s a creaky old shuttered orphanage to keep him busy. The tale is accompanied by vintage photographs that inspired the orphanage’s otherworldly inhabitants. “I was sort of an amateur collector of antique snapshots, and I started to get this little stash of peculiar photos of kids from a long time ago. At some point I had to say, ‘Who are these kids?’” Riggs explains. As much as we’re freaked out by glassy-eyed children in Victorian clothing, we caught up with the author to find out more. Wait — Ransom Riggs. It just looks too good on the cover. Is that your real name?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fergalicious The Duchess of York talks to Metro about her new book, Finding Sarah Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has written a book detailing her â&#x20AC;&#x153;journey to find herselfâ&#x20AC;? a year after she was taped by a journalist asking for cash for access to her former husband, Prince Andrew of the British royal family. She starred in a docu-series of the same name for Oprah Winfreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OWN network. The duchess dishes with us. In the last few days, U.K. newspapers have published highly critical articles about you and your book. Do you ever get used to it?
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had it for more than 20 years. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win with them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of fun, but Fergie-baiting sells newspapers. Even the U.S. media criticized some of the things you did on the OWN shows.
Dr. Phil said I was addicted to approval. He was right,
and my journey in the last year taught me that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m recovering from the need for approval. The media can say what they like â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to live through it, and anyway the OWN series gave me friendships with Oprah, Dr. Phil and Suze Orman. Diana would have been 50 this month. You obviously still miss her.
Bless her. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the only royal ex-wife out here. Without her, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the only one having to do it on my own â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with no support structure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult, because you are alone. Your mother died in a car accident, your father from a long illness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they divorced when you were young. What would you say if you could speak to them again?
That I love them, that I forgive them, that they have two wonderful grand-
daughters and that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a brilliant mum. Do you recognize yourself on the video where you were set up by the journalist?
No. It was a crisis point for
me, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost grateful because it forced me to confront my problems. This book and the journey I undertook are the result.

When the dying stops: A fate worse than death Torchwood: Miracle Day is a show that grapples with some big ideas Lauren Ambrose is explaining what happens on Torchwood: Miracle Day, her new Starz sci-fi series. Let’s listen: “An unnatural global phenomenon takes place where nobody is dying anymore. Our show explores the repercussions throughout the world. And I play the person who’s there to sell it!” She beams. “This is a vicious and ambitious person — a new kind of role for me!” Indeed. As glossy, calculating PR pro Jilly Kitzinger, the 33-year-old Ambrose is making a colourful addition to the list of characters she has played since her acting career began two decades ago. With Jilly, she leaves behind forever the role for which she is most widely known, that of Claire Fisher, the hearse-driving, tormented teen on the HBO funeral-home drama, Six Feet Under. And, no, the irony is not lost on her: how she starred, before, in a series about dying, and now she’s in a series where people can’t die. Torchwood: Miracle
BEBETO MATTHEWS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
“After I watched some of the episodes, I was having really strange dreams. I remember waking up and thinking, ‘What a relief that that isn’t our reality, and that we can find peace in the grip of death.’” LAUREN AMBROSE, STAR OF TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY
Lauren Ambrose, best known for playing Claire Fisher on the HBO funeral drama series Six Feet Under, is shown during an interview in New York. Ambrose is starring in the new series, Torchwood: Miracle Day, on the Starz channel.
Day, which airs its third episode on Friday at 10 p.m. ET, is a spinoff of the much-adored Torchwood, a British series that told of the Torchwood Institute, a mysterious organization dedicated to fighting the world’s strangest, most sinister menaces. But
Torchwood was shut down. Then, at the beginning of this new series, a moment arrived on planet Earth when the dying stopped. The first instance: Oswald Danes (played by Bill Pullman), a murderous pedophile who proved impossible to execute. They couldn’t kill him, so they set him free. Lofted by the twisted logic of the modern media age, Danes was transformed into something of a rock star in the public’s esteem. His image was revamped, in part, by Jilly Kitzinger, who called herself “something of a talent spotter” when she first ap-

ONLY HEADLINING SHOW IN HRM THIS SUMMER.
A native of New Haven, Conn., Lauren Ambrose made her off-Broadway debut at age 14 and her first movie appearance in the 1997 Kevin Kline-starring comedy In & Out, followed soon after by Can’t Hardly Wait. Other film credits include Where the Wild Things Are, The Other Woman and the HBO film A Dog Year.
proached Danes on last week’s episode. Torchwood: Miracle Day challenges conventional wisdom (that death is a cruel interruption of life), and does it in ways that are sometimes graphic or downright macabre. But even as the series grapples with big ideas — the very idea of a fate worse than death! — its rollicking pace keeps things full of life. It’s an action romp. “There are things blowing up,” reports Ambrose. “I get to do stunts in the show, and get in fights — but I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say. I get to run out of — well, I can’t say what! But I get to do cool stuff I had never done before. And wear superfancy couture clothing and have my nails done,” she adds with a laugh and a toss of her lustrous red mane. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
On stage, Ambrose starred in the 2009 Broadway revival of Eugene Ionesco’s Exit the King, opposite Susan Sarandon and Geoffrey Rush. She also appeared in Sam Shepard’s Buried Child at the Royal National Theater. And she played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet and Ophelia in Hamlet, both for the New York Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park.

Separating modern from family viewers Devoted fans having a difficult time seeing Eric Stonestreet play any character but his on Modern Family Starred in raunchy Bad Teacher HANDOUT
Eric Stonestreet sighs slightly when asked if some people are disappointed at finding out he’s not gay like the flamboyant character he plays with such zeal on Modern Family. Some devoted fans of the TV sitcom have criticized him on Twitter for cussing or doing things they believe his character Cameron Tucker wouldn’t. Others who maintain they can’t see him as anyone but Cam even said they were surprised to see him in this summer’s Bad Teacher, a raunchy comedy about a foul-mouthed, junior high school teacher played by Cameron Diaz. “That’s the sort of thing I’ve got to stop caring about,” said Stonestreet, 39, who will be hosting a show at Montreal’s Just For Laughs comedy festival next week. “People are disappointed sometimes but I hope they understand that I’m an actor playing a character. They love the character and they might like me too if they give me a chance.” After all, it’s not like he hasn’t done anything besides Modern Family. The Kansas-born Stonestreet has a lengthy list of TV and movie roles including a recurring stint as a technician on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. And his darker side was on full view in appearances on Nip/Tuck and NCIS in which he played murderers. “The year before Modern Family I think I killed three people on TV,” joked Stonestreet, who won an Emmy last year for best supporting actor in a comedy series. He’s nominated for the award again this year, as are several other members of the cast. Modern Family follows the loving yet nutty families of Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill); his daughter Claire; and his gay son
Eric Stonestreet, star of Modern Family, will host a show at Montreal’s Just For Laughs comedy festival next week.
Writers Hitting home Background Stonestreet said the show, which also has two gay writers, is always looking to take views of the gay community and then twist them for comedic effect.
Mitchell, who is raising an adopted Vietnamese daughter with his partner Cam. Mitchell, played by the openly gay Jesse Tyler Ferguson, is an uptight lawyer while Cam, as Mitch puts it in one episode, “is the mommy-er of the two.” That’s appropriate, considering Stonestreet says he based the nurturing yet linebacker-sized Cam on his mother.

The actor’s rep confirms the rehab stint, saying in a statement that Dane “voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work next week. Business as usual.”

A big prize purse and critical Maritime Pro Stock Tour points are up for grabs at this weekend’s IWK 250.

It’s fast and everybody loves it.” The IWK 250, which will feature NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Marcos Ambrose, has raised more
than $80,000 for the IWK Health Centre Foundation since its first run in 2007. Although the prize purse always approaches six figures, things got more interesting last year when the tour made the IWK 250 count toward the points standings for the first time. Previously, drivers received a set number of points just for showing up. “It’s a strategy race now. Before, you would just take your chances and try and go all out to win,” Slaunwhite said. “I think it’s better for the fans and the drivers to have it a tour-
sanctioned race.” The 30-year-old Slaunwhite said he’s had a tough summer through six races, with a few wrecks and illtimed electrical problems. While he has high hopes for Saturday, he figures he has little chance of cracking the top-four this season. Fifth spot, however, is in his sights. “This year we have a different car, it’s really fast, we just haven’t had (any) luck,” he said. “If we get a little bit of luck on our side, we can definitely win any one of these races.”
Former Halifax Mooseheads star Ladislav Nagy has signed with the Kontintental Hockey League’s Lev Poprad in Slovakia. Nagy, a 32-year-old former NHLer who hasn’t played in North America since 2007-08, split last season between the Slovak ExtraLiga and the Swedish Elite League

Kris Blanks shot a 3-under 67 to take an early lead in the RBC Canadian Open Thursday, while Matt McQuillan of Kingston, Ont., was in a group of players one stroke back. Blanks from Jupiter, Fla., opened with a birdie, then added three more in his round. McQuillan, playing in his first Canadian Open, had a chance to move into a tie for the lead, but he came up just short on a 20-foot putt on the 18th hole. NFL LOCKOUT
Players hold key to a deal NFL owners voted overwhelmingly in favour of a tentative 10-year agreement to end the lockout, pending player approval Thursday.
The vote was 31-0, with the Oakland Raiders abstaining from the ratification, which came after a full day of meetings at an Atlanta-area hotel. “Hopefully, we can all work quickly, expeditiously, to get this agreement done,” commissioner Roger Goodell said. Players still had to sign off on the deal — and they must re-establish
their union quickly for the agreement to stand, the NFL said. Players didn’t vote on a full pact Wednesday because there were unresolved issues. A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that players were unlikely to vote Thursday on a tentative agreement because they have not seen the full proposal approved by owners.

Fans in a frenzy over Riders’ lacklustre start DAVE CHIDLEY/THE CANADIAN PRESS
CFL EXTRA POINTS
“Last year’s West Division champs, who’ve represented the West in three of the last four Grey Cups, are in need of a shakeup and not so much for their record but for the way the team has lost.”
DAN TOTH
OTTAWA@METRONEWS.CA
Greg Marshall waited a lifetime for his first CFL head coaching job, but will he wait just as long for his first win? At 0-3, some passionate Saskatchewan fans are calling for the new coach’s head on a platter while other scapegoats range from erratic starting QB Darian Durant to defensive co-ordinator Richie Hall, who replaced ‘D’ guru Gary Etcheverry in the off-season. Hamilton stomped on Saskatchewan in a 33-3 victory last weekend that could have been even worse if the Tabbies offence had clicked on several scoring chances. Last year’s West Division
Struggling Roughriders’ quarterback Darian Durant has become one of the top targets of fan angst in Saskatchewan.
champs, who’ve represented the West in three of the last four Grey Cups, are in need of a shakeup and not so much for their record, but for the way the team has lost.
Durant has tossed up twice as many interceptions (six) as touchdown passes this season and his team has been dominated in consecutive weeks by Edmonton, Montreal and Hamilton. The D-line is unable to supply any pressure
on opposing QBs while the secondary has been dissected in each loss. The focal point for fan frustration is Marshall, who must be wishing he had chosen a less stressful line of work. Cleo’s on the clock: It’s year two of the Cleo Lemon Experiment, and as the Toronto Argos prepare for their home opener Saturday against Winnipeg, the status of the team’s No. 1 pivot is getting shaky. Yes, he managed to guide the Double Blue to the East final last season — thanks in large part to a fine Argos defence — and helped beat Calgary in Week 1 this season, but at some point he needs to shows signs he’s developing into a CFL quarterback. Nobody expects Lemon to be another Doug Flutie (although that would be nice), but Lemon’s inability to pile up touchdowns or captivate the Argos fan base has reached a critical point. In a quarterback-dri-
ven league, Lemon needs to grab the wheel and start driving or the Argos will have to turn to backups Dalton Bell or Steven Jyles. It’s their turn. B.C.’s slow star nothing new under Buono: Is it time to fire Wally Buono? When the B.C. Lions last started a season 0-3 in 2002, the perfect solution was to gas Steve Buratto and replace him with Adam Rita. Lions owner David Braley said this week he’s confident in Buono (for now) and you can’t really blame him for sticking with a winner. Buono’s Lions have suffered slow starts the last two seasons before turning it around in the second half of the year. Additional pressure to make a move this season comes from hosting the 2011 Grey Cup, but whacking Buono at this juncture is an unlikely solution.

Andy Schleck closes in on Tour de France leader Voeckler in Stage 18 ‘I’m not afraid to lose’: Schleck
Tour de France leader Thomas Voeckler speeds down Agnel pass on Thursday.
Andy Schleck led a daring attack in the Alps to win the 18th stage of the Tour de France on Thursday, a display of panache that puts him within seconds of the yellow jersey. France’s Thomas Voeckler, in a show of grit of his own, narrowly kept the coveted leader’s shirt by muscling up a punishing final climb to limit the damage at the end of the 205-kilometre trek from Pinerolo, Italy, to Galibier Serre-Chevalier ski station in France. Schleck, a 26-year-old rider from Luxembourg, attacked on the second of three grueling climbs and held on all the way up to
Agonizing Alps The pack scaled more than 60 kilometres of total climbs Thursday, about one-third of which had a gradient of more than 9 per cent. Tour director Christian Prudhomme called the 23.7-kilometre Col d’Agnel — at 2,744 metres — the hardest climb in this year’s race.
the highest-altitude finish in the race’s 108-year history, on the fabled Galibier pass. “I told the team yesterday that I had this in mind.
I wasn’t going to be fourth in Paris,” Schleck said of his place in the standings as the stage began. “I said I’d risk it all and it worked well ... Tomorrow is another day, and I hope to have the yellow jersey.” Frank Schleck was second on Thursday behind his younger brother, by two minutes seven seconds, and two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia was third. Voeckler was 2:21 behind, keeping his overall lead over Andy Schleck by a mere 15 seconds. The elder Schleck is third overall, 1:08 back. Evans is fourth, 1:12 off the pace with three stages left.
