WORK BETWEEN PLAY. Flexible hours. We’re hiring.

Police say they have dismantled a “cell” of the Hells Angels. They arrested an alleged full-patch member of the biker gang in a raid on 16 homes in the east end of the city and downtown. “This group is known to potentially move $300,000 to $400,000 a month in illegal substances,” said Ottawa Police Insp. Samir Bhatnagar. “So the amount seized yesterday is substantial, but the dismantling of the organization is going to have a bigger impact in the distribution of drugs in the local area.” Project Finale was a joint oper-

ation between the Ottawa Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP. Police arrested an alleged fullpatch Hells Angels member, of the Ontario Nomads chapter, and 11 other people they say are his associates in the raid on Wednesday. Michael Clairoux faces several charges including conspiracy to traffic cocaine and marijuana, and enhancing, directing and instructing a criminal organization. Police seized $172,000 worth of drugs, $150,000 worth of other assets and two replica handguns in the raids, as well as a real firearm earlier in their investigation.

Police raided this Hells Angels clubhouse on Eight Line Road.

“They were dangerous people, and that’s one of the reasons we’re so pleased, because the city is a lot safer today than it was a few days ago.” INSP. SAMIR BHATNAGAR OTTAWA POLICE

Impatient baby born in back seat of car Pamela Barton was less than 15 kilometres from Montfort Hospital on Wednesday when she had to ask her husband, Alan, to pull over and help her deliver their baby. Strong contractions started just before midnight after her water broke. That’s when the couple got in the car to go to the hospital. They called their doula — someone who provides non-medical support to women and their families during childbirth — who accompanied them to the hospital, but the baby decided not to wait until the end of the car ride. “We got to Blair and Montreal Road and Pam said to the doula, ‘I feel something happening,’” said Alan. “The doula said she saw the crown of the baby’s head.” “I pulled over, I stopped and called 911.” Paramedics talked Alan through part of the delivery until they arrived shortly after the 911 call. They helped Pamela calm down and keep pushing. Paramedics then asked Alan to cut the umbilical cord. “They were very helpful,” he said. At about 2:20 a.m., their daughter, Nayla, was born in the back seat. “It’s only just started to set in what happened,” he said. Pamela’s parents were flying in from Germany Thursday to meet their new granddaughter. JOE LOFARO

Let’s talk about tax: Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak addresses the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce at the Hampton Inn on Thursday.

Both the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives say they won’t raise taxes but that the other guys will Take a hike, taxpayers led to believe JESSICA SMITH

@METRONEWS.CA

If everything Ontario’s politicians are saying about each other is true, voters are in for a tax hike if either leading party wins on Oct. 6. “Dalton, we know you’re going to increase taxes,” Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak said, staring directly into the lenses of TV cameras at a press conference in Ottawa, where Dalton McGuinty was nowhere to be seen.

“We just wish you were honest and tell us exactly what taxes you’re going to hike.” Hudak gave an energetic speech at the Hampton Inn conference centre on Thursday as part of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce Mayor’s Breakfast Series. In it, he highlighted his party’s plans to reduce taxes on hydro and to lower taxes by five per cent on the first $75,000 of taxable income. At about the same time, the Ontario Liberals sent

out a press release claiming that Hudak will force a property-tax hike of $500 million — or six per cent in Ottawa — if he is elected. “A vote for Tim Hudak is a vote for higher property taxes,” said Yasir Naqvi, the Ontario Liberal candidate in Ottawa Centre. “Here in Ottawa, Tim Hudak’s downloading plan will result in a six per cent property-tax hike on families and businesses,” said Bob Chiarelli, the Liberal candidate for Ottawa West– Nepean. Mayor Jim Watson said

Chiarelli’s claim is only partly true. Hudak has said he would consider halting an agreement to upload about $500 million worth of services from the city budget to the province. If that happens, Ottawa would have to raise the property-tax rate by six per cent, instead of the planned 2.5 per cent, Watson said. Watson campaigned on limiting property-tax increases to 2.5 per cent and would look at cutting services to meet that figure, he said.

Twenty-five years ago, people didn’t talk about breast cancer much, but that’s changed and it’s saving lives, says a spokesperson for Run for the Cure. Sunday is Run for the Cure in Ottawa and it’s the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s 25th anniversary. It’s a good time to celebrate a quarter-century of progress on breast-cancer awareness, a higher survival rate and a thriving community of breast-cancer survivors who participate in the annual fundraising run, said spokesperson Rachel Tweedy. Awareness is important because it means women get their breasts examined more often, which means the disease is being found

“Twenty-ﬁve years ago, breast cancer wasn’t something people talked about in their living rooms. When people are talking about it, people don’t feel as alone; they don’t feel like they’re the only one going through it.” RACHEL TWEEDY earlier and more women are surviving it. “People are aware of what they need to do to take care of their breast health,” said Tweedy, adding that women who have breast cancer have a 85 per cent chance of living five years or more after their diagnosis.

Participants in last year’s Run for the Cure give a cheer at the starting line. There will be about 9,000 participants and 1,000 spectators at the run, which organizers hope will raise more than $1.65 million.

Chilean miners on tour to rebuild school

Two of the 33 Chilean miners whose death-defying rescue captivated millions of TV viewers worldwide last October stopped in Ottawa Thursday to share their experiences and help a Chilean school destroyed in an earthquake. Franklin Lobos and Omar Reygadas are on a Canada-wide promo tour for BAFONA, the National

Folkloric Ballet of Chile. “It’s the best performing group in all of Chile and also because this group groups all the different folkloric Franklin Lobos, left, and Omar representations of all the different regions of Reygadas in Ottawa Thursday.

“A lot of people are still trying to reconstruct not only physical things – buildings — but also their lives. They lost a lot of loved ones, and some bodies have not even been recovered yet and might never be.” Lobos and Reygadas have been in the spotlight for almost a year since they were trapped for 69 days in the mine outside of San Jose. “The first five days were very, very hard because we

didn’t know if they were looking for us. There were 17 days without eating,” said Lobos. “These sorts of (fundraising) activities are helping us get over all the bad things that we went through,” said Reygadas. The show will come to Ottawa Oct. 17 during a seven-city tour across Canada. More information about the show and tickets is available at bafonatour.com.

U.S. appeals court tosses ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ lawsuit A U.S. federal appeals court refused yesterday to decide the constitutionality of the military’s now-repealed “don't ask, don't tell” policy banning openly gay troops, saying the issue has been resolved since Americans can enlist and serve in the armed forces without regard to sexual orientation. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco tossed out a lawsuit that had challenged the military policy as a violation of gay service members’ civil rights. In doing so, the appeals court also dismissed a Southern California trial judge’s year-old ruling that the policy was unconstitutional. The gay-rights group Log Cabin Republicans filed the lawsuit in 2004

challenging the policy. The group’s lawyer, Dan Woods, said he would ask the full 9th Circuit to review the panel’s decision. The group recently argued the lower court ruling, which also barred enforcement of “don't ask, don't tell” should remain in effect despite this month’s repeal because future administrations and lawmakers could reintroduce a ban on gay service. The three judges strongly disagreed in their opinion yesterday, saying the case is moot because there is nothing left to challenge regarding the policy enacted as section 654. “This suit became moot when the repeal of section 654 took effect on Sept. 20,” the ruling said.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent patrols in a vehicle at the U.S.-Mexico border fence in Tijuana. The United States is looking at building similar fences along the border with Canada to help keep out terrorists and other criminals.

U.S. border proposal hits Canada’s nerve

Nearly 3,800 Customs and Border Protection officers scrutinize people and goods at crossings But U.S. still plans to ramp up security on vast border The Opposition is blasting a “stupid” U.S. government proposal to build fences along the border with Canada to help keep out terrorists and other criminals. “The American people don’t see us as a threat,” said Joe Comartin, the New Democrat justice critic. “When you get their security agencies just going off on this kind of a tangent ... well, quite frankly, it just makes me angry.” The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has proposed the use of “fencing and other barriers” on the 49th parallel to

manage “trouble spots where passage of cross-border violators is difficult to control.” The border service is also pondering options including a beefed-up technological presence through increased use of radar, sensors, cameras, drones and vehicle scanners. In addition, it might continue to improve or expand customs facilities at ports of entry. The proposals are spelled out in a new draft report by the border service that examines the possible environmental impact of the various options over the

Security increase Over the last two years, the U.S. has added inspectors and Border Patrol agents along the U.S.- Canadian border and modernized land crossings.

next five to seven years. In a statement, the Canada Border Services Agency said: “The policy options in the draft report have not been part of the discussions between the CBSA and U.S. CBP on ways to improve border management. Canada’s ambassador to the United States played down the possibility of fences. “Doing an environmental study of an option is not the same as a costed, funded construction project that would happen on the U.S. side,” Gary Doer told reporters in Regina.

Tweets offer glimpse into mood patterns Twitter confirms it: People tend to wake up in a good mood and are happiest on weekends. The fast-paced forum is offering scientists a peek at real-time, presumably littlefiltered human behaviour and thoughts. Cornell University researchers turned to the microblog to study mood and found a pretty consistent pattern. The researchers analyzed English-language tweets from 2.4 million people in 84 countries, more than 500 million of the brief, conversation-like exchanges sent over two

years. They used a computer program that searched for words indicating positive mood — happy, enthusiastic, brilliant — or negative mood — sad, anxious, fear. What they found: Unless you’re a night owl, a positive attitude peaks early in the morning and again near midnight, but starts to dip midmorning before rising again in the evening. Aha, you might think, going to work and related hassles like traffic explain that pattern. After all, there was more positive tweeting on the weekend.

Twitter tales The researchers also examined tweets in the United Arab Emirates, where Friday and Saturday are considered the weekend. Sure enough, they found the same daily pattern, even though the workday tends to begin earlier there than in the West, and the same weekend pattern. There are cautions about studying Twitter postings: Their authors tend to be younger, and may be more affluent and better educated than average.

Work-related stress may play some role but it can’t explain why that same midday dip occurs on the weekend, too, said lead researcher Scott Golder, a Cornell graduate student. Instead, the pattern probably is due to the effects of sleep and our 24hour biological clock, the so-called circadian rhythms that signal when it’s time to sleep and to wake, Golder and Cornell sociologist Michael Macy reported. Their study appears in Friday’s edition of the journal Science. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

them and that’s why the minister of Defence is so highly regarded,” Harper told the House of Commons during question period. Meanwhile, the ethics commissioner told a parliamentary committee yesterday that MacKay could be in contravention of MPs’ conflict-of-interest code because of where he spent his vacation. The Newfoundland trip was partly spent at a fishing camp owned by the chairman of a Crown corporation. Under questioning from the Liberals, Mary Dawson told an all-party committee some rules may have been broken. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Country music star testifies she had to hire security Accused disrupts court proceedings to announce plea WADE PAYNE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Palumbo was seen repeatedly parked in his Lamborghini down the road. And she also alleged that Palumbo visited her brother-in-law’s auto shop with a supposed car issue because he wanted to be closer to her. After roughly 90 minutes of Twain’s testimony, Palumbo — clad in a rumpled black suit and wireframe glasses — abruptly stood and announced that he’d had enough. “Eilleen, you can trust me, I’m going to plead guilty,” he said, using Twain’s real first name. “I’ve been offended too much, your honour.”

The trial of a man accused of stalking Canadian country star Shania Twain got off to a dramatic start Thursday when the accused interrupted testimony and declared in an outburst that he would plead guilty. Giovanni (John) Palumbo is charged with three counts of failure to comply with a court order and criminal harassment by watching and besetting. Appearing via video link in a Toronto courtroom, Twain testified that the former Ottawa doctor’s lovelorn letters and unexpected visits at her cottage made her uncomfortable. “They were uncomfort-

able letters, they were very personal,” Twain told court. “They were more like love letters, not so much fan mail.” Twain testified that she had to hire 24-hour security for a family gathering at her cottage in 2009 because

The third edition of the red mittens that were so popular at the 2010 Winter Games were unveiled Thursday. The handwarmers have been a lucrative fundraiser for the Canadian Olympic Committee, pulling in almost $19 million for the COC’s athletesupport programs.

Typhoon Nesat arrives in China

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Storm brings rain and fierce winds after devastating the Philippines Three injured by falling debris A powerful typhoon slammed into southern China Thursday after skirting Hong Kong and bringing death and widespread flooding to the Philippines earlier this week. Typhoon Nesat made landfall on the eastern tip of China’s Hainan island at 2:30 p.m., local time, and was packing winds as high as 150 kilometres an hour, the official Xinhua News Agency said. The storm blew down trees and flooded streets as it moved across Hainan, photos on state media showed. A large tree toppled onto a parked car in the provincial capital, Haikou. The storm swept past Hong Kong earlier in the day, forcing the stock mar-

Cities shut down Flood control officials said nearly 58,000 people were evacuated from low-lying areas in eastern Wenchang city and 67 flights were cancelled at the island’s two airports, Xinhua said. Hainan authorities closed schools, suspended ferry services and recalled fishing boats as the storm made its way across the South China Sea from the Philippines, where it killed 35 people and left another 45 missing.

Hundreds of animals and plants advance toward protections in U.S. Comes amid backlash in Congress against endangered-species program

ENVIRONMENTAL FORECAST.

Climate change will cost Canada and its people about $5 billion a year by 2020, a groundbreaking analysis for the federal government warns. Costs will continue to climb steeply, to between $21 billion and $43 billion a year by the 2050s, the analysis says.

The Obama administration is taking steps to extend new federal protections to a list of imperiled animals and plants that reads like a manifest for Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the melodic goldenwinged warbler and slowmoving gopher tortoise, to the slimy American eel and tiny Texas kangaroo rat. Compelled by a pair of recent legal settlements, the effort in part targets species that have been mired in bureaucratic limbo even as they inch toward potential extinction. With a Friday deadline to act on more than 700 pending cases, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service already has issued decisions advancing more than 500 species toward potential new protections under the Endangered

Car. Crash

A Toronto police oﬃcer and a truck driver decide what to do after a car suddenly mounted the curb and drove into a townhouse. KEVIN OMURA/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Car meets house in Toronto

After mounting a curb, a car drove into a stairwell to a lower townhouse unit in Scarborough yesterday. It took two tow trucks to remove the car, which was wedged in the stairwell.

Bottled messages bring world home Casting out messages in bottles is not a social experiment for Harold Hackett It’s a dear hobby Underneath his bed, stored in shoeboxes or tucked away into drawers in his Tignish, P.E.I., apartment are Harold Hackett’s portals to other lands. There are the miniature wooden shoes from the Netherlands, sent by a Dutch couple who would later travel across the ocean just to meet him. There are bags of homemade Newfoundland candy, seashore glass from the Bahamas, and an estimated 14,000 photos of children, boats, pets, and homes. But most importantly, there are the letters. “I’ve got something like 3,300 back so far,” Hackett says proudly. “From all over the world.” Around P.E.I. and increasingly around the

“I put this bottle in the ocean from North Cape, P.E.I. When you ﬁnd my message, please write back to me so I know where my bottle went. Please be sure to include the date on the bottle message in your letter and the date you found it. This is very important to me.” A FORM LETTER BY HAROLD HACKETT globe, Hackett has become known as “Message in a Bottle Man” — the one who has set 5,000 bottled messages adrift into the Atlantic, one by one, just to see where they’ll go. To maintain that kind of volume, he’s abandoned handwritten notes. He sends out form letters photocopied in one of six fluorescent colours, leaving a blank space so he can print the date he sent it, and another for the recipient to

record the date it was found. The 59-year-old bachelor doesn’t own a computer. He’s lived in P.E.I. his whole life. And the former fisherman spends much of his time at home on disability, due to a curvature in his spine. But through notes and packages sent from Africa, Ireland, South America, Russia, Germany, and more, Hackett has brought the world to him. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

IT’S SHIRTLESS NIGHT IN CANADA THE METRO LIST 1

Shirtless Ron MacLean?: Circulating this week is one of the more random photos ever: A NEIL MORTON shirtless Hockey Night in METRO Canada host Ron MacLean is seen in a bar, wearing white pants and airguitaring while holding a beer. Now people are split as to whether this photo was Photoshopped or not. Let’s see Don Cherry’s shirtless beer-air-guitar moves! Rathika Sitsabaiesan cleavage: Still with Photoshop, Ontario NDP MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan attracted international attention this week when it was revealed on the website Contrarian.ca that her (by no means risqué amount of) cleavage was Photoshopped out of an image that appears on her page on the Parliament of Canada website. Wow, talk about political correctness. BC Place reno: The $563-million reno’ed retractable BC Place stadium in Vancouver is by all accounts stupendous, right down to the transparent facade that runs the circumference of the stadium and allows spectators to take in mountain vistas. It opens Friday when the B.C. Lions take on the Edmonton Eskimos. The Leap: Calgary’s Chris Turner, author of the 2007 national bestseller The Geography of Hope, has a new book out this week. It’s called The Leap: How to Survive and Thrive in the Sustainable Economy. It covers German green energy, Danish urban design genius, Toledo solar panels and so much more. The Onion in T.O.: The brilliant news parody empire that reports wryly hilarious fake news now has a local edition in Toronto, where it’s available free in newspaper boxes starting this week. Nothing in this item was made up. YouTube TV shows: YouTube really is vying to be your new TV set. Word is the video giant is finalizing contracts with a bunch of “channels” to feature regularly scheduled programs on themes like sports, entertainment and fashion by 2012. My grandchildren someday will be like, “What’s that flatscreen in your mancave for, grandpa?” Queen: Queen’s Roger Taylor is creating a live touring show to begin next year that will pay tribute to the band. He’s launched a talent search to find people to star in the show. One of the audition tapes makes it seem as if Freddie Mercury has risen from the grave. Emotional bag check: If you’re looking for somewhere to unload your emotions, a new site called EmotionalBagCheck.com might come to your emotional rescue. You can vent there, and some kind stranger will suggest a pick-me-up song in reply so as to get you going again. And everything will be all right. Well, for five minutes at least — the time it takes to play, say, Coldplay’s Fix You (it’s the No. 3 recommended song). Message in a Bottle: Since 1996, P.E.I.’s Harold Hackett has sent out more than 4,800 messages in a bottle. Dude’s hobby has an amazing batting average, as he’s received more than 3,100 responses from all over the world. So if your Internet’s ever down and you’re jonesing for social media, just go old school and use this method of reaching out.

Letters Eight Nobel peace laureates called the Green Energy Act “the single most effective piece of legislation promoting renewable energy in North America.” It’s unfortunate that PC Leader Tim Hudak is threatening to dismantle the GEA if he gets elected — all for short-term political gain when thousands of good jobs and a cleanenergy economy are at stake. The worst part is Mr. Hudak is failing to address what he would do instead. Expensive, volatile nuclear? Dirty coal? TYLER HUNT, TORONTO All of the other leaders are committing to progress for clean energy, but PC Leader Tim Hudak is promising to sacrifice the thousands of good jobs created by the Green Energy Act and make Ontario more reliant on dirty, dangerous forms of power. Any politician who threatens to scrap thousands of automotive jobs would be laughed out of office. Why should our reaction be any different now that many of Ontario’s hard-working men and women who used to make auto parts are now building solar panels and turbines?

Pop stars woo fans via Facebook games Social media is the new way to interact and connect with fans: Iglesias Cityville most popular application on Facebook with 71 million users ZYNGA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This screen shot provided by Zynga shows the Facebook game CityVille. Starting Tuesday, CityVille players on Facebook will be able to interact with Enrique Iglesias’s character when he visits their cities.

Supreme Court to hear ‘value for signal’ case The Supreme Court of Canada says it will step into the battle over whether broadcasters can charge cable and satellite providers for carrying their programs. The high court has granted leave to appeal in a case that involves whether the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has the right to establish a system that would allow broadcasters to charge for their signals. The CRTC itself referred the matter to the Federal Court when it announced its plans for a so-called “value for signal” regime. The Federal Court of Appeal previously ruled in a EMPLOYMENT

fore its planned initial public offering. The San Francisco-based company Iglesias filed registration papers in July for an IPO, and it’s expected to make its public debut this fall. Iglesias said his team approached Zynga with the idea for a game integration. Users can collect virtual hats, boots, bling and a speed boat — representing the time Iglesias lived in Miami and owned one. “I thought the fans would get a kick out of it,” he said.

Pop stars are lining up to make their debut in Facebook games from online game maker Zynga. First came Dr. Dre and Lady Gaga. Next week, an avatar of singer Enrique Iglesias will join CityVille, Zynga’s most popular title. Starting Tuesday, CityVille players on Facebook will be able to interact with Iglesias’s character when he visits their cities. They can collect items the singer is known for and watch previews of his latest music video. Zynga declined to give financial terms of the deal or say whether it plans more celebrity integrations, citing the fact that it is in a typical “quiet period” be-

Privacy on Facebook challenged, again Nine privacy groups have sent a joint letter to the Federal Trade Commission saying it should investigate the ways Facebook collects data about users’ online activity after recent changes to its site. The Electronic Privacy Information Center, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups sent the letter to the FTC Wednesday. The groups say changes Facebook made last week give it far greater ability to disclose users’ personal information to businesses. Facebook users can now consent just once and have applications continuously sharing on Facebook the music they are listening to or the articles they are reading. Facebook says that change gives users control over what apps they use and what information is shared. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The cable and satellite industries are appealing the decision, arguing that the value-for-signal issue falls under the Copyright Act and the royalties system and is beyond the CRTC jurisdiction. “Conventional television stations must have a regulatory framework that allows them to survive on their own merits, regardless of whether or not they are integrated with cable and satellite companies,” said Kevin Crull, president of Bell Media.

Synopsis Anna Faris is Ally, a young Bostonian with a bad relationship track record. Weeks before her sister is to wed she reads an article that suggests the number of sex partners a woman has had will predict her romantic success later in life. More than 20, it says, and you have virtually no hope of settling down. She realizes she’s in the danger zone. To not go over 20 she revisits all her exboyfriends in hopes of finding a husband.

scene Scene in brief

Anna Faris, centre, is searching for lasting love in What’s Your Number.

It’s all in the numbers

Anna Faris shines as the lead in What’s Your Number? despite a lacklustre raunch-com script Movie’s attitudes about sex a little dated for 2011 Richard: Mark, I’m not going to suggest What’s Your Number? is a great, or even good movie. It has a typical rom-com plot gussied up with some Judd Apatow style barbs and some gratuitous shots of its almost naked star but it also has Anna Faris, and for me that’s enough. She has crack comic timing and an unpredictable way with a line that takes a Kathryn Heigl level script and turns it into something watchable. What did you think? Mark: Without Anna Faris, this movie would have gone directly to the DVD bin. She’s so good I was able to sit through the movie and actually laugh a

few times. But I resent the movie for wanting it both ways: on the surface it seems like a raunch-com but underneath beats the heart of the typical story of a young woman who just wants to get married and settle down. And by the way, since when did bedding 20 guys in your entire life make anyone a slut? Maybe if they were all at once... RC: Ha! Spoken like someone who has the updated edition of The Joy of Sex handy. It’s a strange movie that uses both the standard old cellphone switcheroo plot device and rape jokes. It doesn’t have the laughs of an Apatow

movie or the heart... but once again, I’ll say it, it has Anna Faris. MB: It also has Chris Evans, in a stock role that only his agent could love. But I did feel there was some genuine chemistry between him and Ms. Faris, especially in the scenes where they get hot ‘n’ sweaty. Romantic comedies like this one usually have a number of well acted, well written secondary characters, but they were completely absent from this picture, unless you count Andy Samberg’s great and ridiculous cameo. RC: A love scene with a puppet and Andy Samberg is just one of the things —

did I mention Anna Faris? — that make this movie almost special. There are just enough funny scenes (and shots of Evans’s abs) to almost make this an inthe-pocket rom com, but then the good stuff is followed by long stretches of by-the-book writing. It’s a shame to see this kind of potential wasted. MB: I also resented the dated sexual politics of the movie. The male lead can sleep with as many partners as he likes and he’s a rake. If a woman like Faris tries the same thing, she’s a slut. This is old-school thinking, and shame on the movie for buying into it, and not challenging it.

The drama of politics Film veteran Jeffrey Wright brings his inside knowledge of Washington to Ides of March Finds perks of politics alluring NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN HOLLYWOOD

For Ides of March, his political drama about a fictional Democratic presidential primary race, director and star George Clooney put together a stellar cast. And when it came to casting the role of Sen. Thompson, a primary rival of Gov. Morris (Clooney) whose endorsement could mean a nomination-clinching collection of delegates, Clooney

knew just who to go to: film and stage veteran Jeffrey Wright. A Washington, D.C., native, Wright relished tackling the more corrupt side of politics shown in the film. But he won’t squeal when it comes to what real-life politicians he based his character on. Your character provides a very particular commentary on politics.

cy at heart, but I read the script with just a touch of healthy cynicism, and I perceived him to be pretty much an egoist and an opportunist, which I have to say I have witnessed in some of the players down in Washington in my experiences down there — not all. There’s a dynamic at work there among not only the politicians but among those who surround them, a desire to be out front, to be in a position of authority — or at least in close proximity to power — that overshad-

ows too often, I think, the desire to do good work. It’s hard not to be at least a little cynical about politics, especially considering current events.

Yeah. Sure, sure. I mean, at the end of the day you see folks just losing sight of what the point is. The point is to lead the country in the best way forward for as many people as possible. But it’s so alluring. It must be just incredibly seductive and alluring, the lifestyle and the influence and the access and the perks.

Hugh Jackman says that he was a fearful child.

Hugh wasn’t always so steely Real Steel star Hugh Jackman was the dunce at drama school RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Hugh Jackman must be the envy of his drama school’s graduating class.

Between the opening of Real Steel this weekend and the end of 2013 he’ll star in six films ranging from The Wolverine’s high octane action and the high notes of Les Misérables to the high comedy of Movie 43. It seems apt that he’ll also soon be starring in The Greatest Showman on Earth because he can do it all — in between action movies he can out-singand-dance anyone on the circuit — but it wasn’t always that way. “When I started acting I was the dunce of the class,” he says.

Success in school, he says, came because of his work ethic, a trait he picked up from his father. “He never took one day off in his life,” he says. “Now, he had five kids he was bringing up on his own. If anyone deserved a day off it was my old man, but he never did. I learned that from him. “There’s always that feeling of, ‘I have to work harder than everybody else. I’m not born Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I’ve got to just work harder and I’m prepared to do it.” Being the youngest of five children also con-

How he got over his fear

tributed to his outlook. “I always wanted to do stuff and not be left out,” he says, but adds, “I was quite a fearful kid, which I hated. “I’ve always had a fear of fear. It’s a weird to think back now but drama school, it is a pressure kind of situation. People get kicked out of drama school. You are constantly being judged on how you are doing, are you progressing, are you not. “Almost everyday you had to get up and do a monologue. Sing a song. Do it in front of everybody. “I noticed I was always

first. I never wanted to sit there waiting. “I’m not saying that out of courage. It was too uncomfortable to sit, stewing. I don’t think I’ve told anyone else that.” Later, fear of unemployment pushed him to expand his talents. “When I came out of drama school I was like, ‘I’m going to do anything I can just to keep working.’ In drama school you do Shakespeare to movement to circus skills to singing all in one morning. I know a lot of people hated it but I reveled in it. I loved it. It’s weird how it evolved.”

COMING UP WITH A BAND NAME IS NO EASY TASK SOUND CHECK

ALAN CROSS SCENE @METRONEWS.CA

ne of the most hideous tasks of being in a band is coming up with a name.

Consider: 1. Everyone in the band has to be happy with it. Good luck with that.

Many baby bands have broken up because they couldn’t agree on what to call themselves. Finding that consensus is torturous. 2. It has to be catchy, easy to remember and easy to spell. Your name is your brand, so it has to be something that captures

the essence of the group’s sound and image without sounding too stupid or pretentious. 3. Can you get the domain name? Before the Internet, this never used to be a problem. But if you’re going to have a proper online presence, you need a proper

Internet address. Oasis had to make due with Oasisinet.com (notice the extra “i” because a dating site already had Oasis.com and wasn’t about to give it up.) 4. It must lend itself to good graphic design. Hey, if you can’t make a cool logo from it, then you’re

limiting your appeal. Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Led Zeppelin and the lips-and-tongue logo of the Rolling Stones are all brilliant examples. 5. And, most importantly, it has to be unique and unused by anyone anywhere in the world currently or in the past.

Either the cocktail party is going to go well or it doesn’t. It depends on the vibe. Rahman: I don’t know why they called me, first of all. I thought maybe they wanted my piano playing or my keyboard, or a string arrangement.

cause people come up with different things. It was a really interesting collaboration. To be honest it was easy. It was really easy because we got things straight away. You are very soon encouraged,” he said. Jagger, Stewart, Stone and Rahman recently sat down for an interview with The Associated Press.

Left to right, SuperHeavy members A.R. Rahman, Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart attend the release party for their new CD, SuperHeavy, in New York, this month.

Jagger: I was just copying Damian. I do a little bit. I went toasting, we call it, but it is the same thing (as rap). Damian was doing this really good toasting, West Indian rapping, so I thought, “I could do that. It can’t be that difficult.” It actually was quite difficult. With a bit of practice, it is all right. It is a laugh. Stone: It is funny. Sometimes listening to Damian talk would give me a melody. ... It helped when I couldn’t come up with anything, I would just listen to Damian and have a little chat in the corner.

What was that first recording session like, getting all of these people together with different sounds from different backgrounds?

Stewart: What is unusual is having five writers who are songwriters, known for songwriting, all writing in the same room together at the same time. Writers are often known to be on their own, looking at the sea, out the window, with a pen or playing piano on their own. Then you have five people all staring at each other that are all used to writing songs, but that have to do it in front of each other now. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DJ feeling good about new album The French producer collaborates with Chris Brown, Usher and Jennifer Hudson on his fifth studio release MARK ALLAN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

French DJ David Guetta poses for a photo at the Isle of MTV 2010 concert in Floriana, Malta.

David Guetta wasn’t chasing a monster hit when he crafted songs like the Kelly Rowland-assisted When Love Takes Over and the Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling. The French DJ-producer didn’t feel much pressure to make the tracks international smashes — though that’s what the songs went on to become. “(I had to get) in the mindset of before, when we were just partying, without thinking, ‘Is this going to be a hit?’ (I was) trying to just have a good time,” he said. Guetta’s double album, Nothing But the Beat fea-

tures one instrumental offering, and a second with top acts like Nicki Minaj, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, will.i.am, Sia and others. Was it hard to not feel pressure creating this album?

It’s just that now it’s different because I have a name, so when an artist comes to work with me, maybe they’re thinking, ‘This will be big.’ But even with Usher, for example, we’ve been trying to work together for a long time. We had one or two sessions, and it was good, but not ‘Wow. Amazing.’ And

we said, ‘Let’s wait till we have that ‘wow’ record.’ And now we have this huge record that everyone thinks is one of the biggest records of my life and Usher was really excited about it. Nicki Minaj appears on two songs. What was it like working with her?

Oh listen, I am so proud of her on Turn Me On. She’s huge here and known for her rapping, but I don’t think people thought she could deliver in terms of singing like on Turn Me On. It’s crazy. She sounds amazing. And when I worked with Jennifer Hudson, I was also

taking her out of her box because it was like a very different style for her, but everybody knows that she has that huge voice. But I think for Nicki Minaj to show this — it’s really big. Was there anyone you didn’t get a chance to work with?

Not really to be honest. I feel very lucky. Do you sing or rap?

No (laughs). I’m really, really terrible. I don’t have enough ears to be the perfect singer, but I have enough ears to know that I’m not good. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

the instrument he’ll play during the show — a piano that took manufacturer Yamaha four years to build. “It’s going to surprise a lot of people,” John said of the instrument earlier this year. “This isn’t like the old days,” he said of the show. “It’s going to be certainly different from anything you’ve seen from me before, as was ‘The Red Pi-

The Red Piano included risque imagery — with high-tech videos and inflatable props — plus the hits John has become known for during a career that’s spanned more than

40 years. John is one of music’s most decorated stars, known for songs including Candle in the Wind, Rocket Man and Bennie and the Jets. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999 and honoured by the Kennedy Center in 2004 for his lifetime contributions to performing arts.

Southern rock with breathing space

MARK HUMPHREY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Don’t compare them to The Kings of Leon or The Avett Brothers — NeedToBreathe has its own style NeedToBreathe has a problem with preconceived notions. The band is a brother act from the Carolinas known to favour the banjo — but they’re not The Avett Brothers. Bear and Bo Rinehart are the sons of a preacher who started playing music in church. But they’re not The Kings of Leon. The release of their fourth album, The Reckoning, should clear things up. The album debuted at No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200 this week with 48,500 copies sold and is something of a mission statement for a group looking to make its mark on the wider consciousness. They love Southern rock and want to be identified that way. They’ve been

conscious of putting their own stamp on their latest album. “We’ve always hated being pigeonholed in some way,” Bear, 30, said. “Mainly because we’re worried about the future. We don’t want to put a record out where people are expecting a certain thing, they get something else and they’re not willing to go with us on the journey. That’s the thing for us, trying to develop fans who believe in the band rather than the one song or the genre.” Comparisons weigh on the band and it was among the things foremost on their minds when they entered the studio. They considered every note, every instrument and every lyric as they crafted the 14 songs.

They put a great deal of pressure on themselves, hoping to make their own version of a classic album — something like Damn the Torpedoes by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Those kind of expectations led to long hours in the studio and very familiar bickering. “We still fight a tremendous amount, I would say,” Bear said. “We were fighting just before we came in here,” the 29-year-old Bo joked. “You’re working with family — especially with me and Bo writing the songs. So it’s an artistic thing and I think you’d get into an argument with anybody. But then you bring in the whole background of the family thing

Selling old gold and silver jewelry? The bad. The ugly. The good. Skyrocketing gold and silver prices has many consumers wondering how much their old or broken gold jewelry is worth. The question you should be asking yourself is: where do you go to ensure you receive a fair offer? There are plenty of options but which ones pass the common msense test?

Option #2: Mail away your gold. Hope for the best. Most consumers feel uneasy about mailing their jewellery to one of the many flashy “Cash for Gold” type companies seen

Option #1: New companies. Inﬂated promises. False advertising. Anyone can post really high payout prices. There are no laws to protect unsuspecting consumers from misleading ads that promise to pay outrageous and unrealistic prices. They use them to lure people in, then adjust weights, inaccurately evaluate material (eg. say something is 10kt when it’s actually 14kt). The bottom line, people end up with less money in their pocket, not more.

shadowy computer genius who sees the future. Emerson ain’t as lucky. Like the audience, he’s not sure what future episodes will reveal about his new character. “Once again, just like on Lost, I’m not sure where things are going,” laughs Emerson. “I’m just winging it, which I’m happy to do. It makes you anxious to read each script.” Emerson stars with Jim Caviezel in the fast-paced Person of Interest, which comes from the minds of writer Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight) and coproducer J.J. Abrams (Lost). Part cop show/part sci-fi thriller, the series follows troubled CIA operative Reese (Caviezel) and the

mysterious Finch as they attempt to solve murders — before they actually happen. “They’re a terrible odd couple. But they have to live through this series of hair-raising adventures,” says Emerson, who sees very little of himself in Finch. So far. “Well, I like to dress up and Finch is a smart dresser,” he laughs. “Don’t know enough about him yet.” Making the transition from Lost’s beautiful Hawaiian backdrop to the decidedly grittier New York setting has been easy for Emerson, whose acting resumé includes stints on Broadway. He refers to the change as switching from “my sec-

ond favourite island to my favourite one”. “It’s turned out to be fun. We’ve shot over all the five boroughs. It’s been like an obscure tour of unknown New York City.” Emerson admits that, as much as he loved his experience on Lost, he wasn’t exactly unhappy when the show finally wrapped in 2010 after six seasons. That attitude may be changing. “At the time, I was glad Lost was over, and glad to get back to the mainland,” he says. “But recently I’ve been beginning to feel a little island nostalgia. I might be ready to go back.” PERSON OF INTEREST AIRS THURSDAYS ON CITYTV.

there’s something missing. Most likely it’s that he’s never made his girl ever really laugh, because people have years-long relationships with people who have never made them laugh all the time in real life. He’s there to show that stability and commitment are boring. The “Mister Wickham”

The younger, smoother cousin to the hunk with a heart of gold, this dude at first seems to be a charming sort of lad.

However, unlike his rough counterpart, whose flaws are vulgar enough that they need to be overcome, the Mister Wickham’s ugliness is so attractive that it throws him into Too Good to Be True territory. His love affair with the heroine is fast and loose, and he’s generally dumped by the middle of Act 3. The lesson for ladies: Make sure you know where you’re at in your narrative before you start dating someone. If you’re only in Act 1, he’s not going to stick around! The most patient friend in the world

You know that childhood friend you were pretty sure had a thing for you, but you didn’t have time for because you were al-

ways fixated on the “bad boys”? Well, now he’s back, with that same “aw shucks” charm! Has he moved on from his juvenile crush? Of course not: Decadeslong obsessions are romantic. We get the appeal; this guy plays into the subconscious fantasy of falling in love with someone who knew you before you ever threw up in a bar bathroom, which isn’t a bad thing. But he also should answer for the destruction he’s caused to the love lives of innocent teenage boys the world over. Have an unrequited crush on your friend? Don’t worry, just wait it out, even if it takes decades! It’s true love, it really is.

The cardboard man

Our heroine is an aspiring career woman with a thankless job and a crazy boss! This provides enough drama to fill out 90 per cent of a movie, but what to do with the other 10 per cent? Easy, give her a blandly affable male friend — or even an acquaintance — to complain to and then kiss at the end! Does he need a job, or a hobby, or a personality of his own? Eh, not really. It’s only important that he shows the girls in the audience that you really can Have It All (and shows the old-timers that not all women with jobs are lesbians). In the future, this character won’t even have a name because he will be played by a cardboard cutout.

Is Demi headed back to real-life Cougar Town? Reports say Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s marriage is almost done FRAZER HARRISON/GETTY IMAGES

The marriage between Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher is reportedly all but over, with just a potential $290 million divorce battle standing in their way, according to Star magazine. Kutcher’s alleged frolicking in San Diego last weekend — during their sixth anniversary — was apparently the last straw. “Ashton was a serial cheater, and Demi just couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t deserve to live that way. It’s a painful time for Demi,” a source says.

“It was definitely a long time coming, but they’re finally done for good.” And if the couple’s recent trip to New York was any indication, the split has been in the works. “As far as I know, Demi ended up staying at her place on the Upper West Side and Ashton was (at the hotel) by himself,” a source says. “It was obvious to everyone around them that things were completely over between them and that they are just putting on a show until they officially split.” METRO

Scarlett Johansson is still fuming over the phone hacking that led to nude pictures of the Avengers star being leaked online. “Just because you’re an actor or make films or whatever, doesn’t mean you’re not entitled to your own personal privacy,” she tells CNN. “If that is sieged in some way, it feels unjust. It feels wrong.” Johansson isn’t necessarily complaining about her fame, but she thinks

there are limits. “It’s an adjustment, but I think there are certain instances where you give a lot of yourself and finally you have to kind of put your foot down and say, ‘Oh wait, I’m taking it back,’” she says. METRO

If you love wine and have never been to Spain, you need to pack your corkscrew and go. I raved earlier this year after my first visit but, you know what, I just can’t stop. Wine to the Spaniards is like beer to us Canadians — especially in the country’s most famous grape growing region of Rioja. You hit the town with your peeps, pick a local wine bar, have a glass of red along with a little tapas then move on the next spot and repeat. You can recreate the vibe at home. The internet has dozens of sites dedicated to simple tapas recipes and well-made Rioja wines are easy to find. The Montecillo 2008 Crianza ($14.95 $19.99) is a perfect introduction to the region. Aged over two years, the juice is fresh and lively with a wellbalanced cherry fruit and cedar-esque wood expression. It’s a perfect partner for croquettes and empanadas and would make a great turkey wine for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS

I think we have a better core in place right now.” TORONTO BLUE JAYS GM ALEX ANTHOPOULOS THURSDAY. THE JAYS FINISHED THE SEASON WITH AN 81-81 RECORD UNDER NEW MANAGER JOHN FARRELL.

A night like no other Teams sort through wild-card race aftermath ‘That was probably the most dramatic day in the history of the game,’ says Rangers’ Michael Young J. MERIC/GETTY IMAGES

Jim Leyland was still dazed a day later. So were baseball fans everywhere, trying to explain one of the wackiest wrap-ups to the sport’s regular season. Pitch by pitch, the playoff picture flipped. Startling collapses and stunning rallies left fans bleary-eyed and a little exhausted. Midnight came, along with more madness. When it was over, Tampa Bay and St. Louis were in, Boston and Atlanta were out. It was a harrowing task just keeping track of the four teams vying for wildcard berths in the National and American Leagues on Wednesday, the final day of the regular season. Leyland, the 66-year-old manager of the Detroit Tigers, was riveted watching Boston and Tampa Bay play their games. “You can’t explain this to people, the emotions in baseball. Even from our side. Just watching it. We became fans,” Leyland said. “I don’t know how it all happened. I still don’t. But it was amazing.” The Yankees took a 7-0 lead into the eighth inning. But the Rays somehow rallied to make it 7-6 before little-used Dan Johnson — batting only .108 this year — launched a tying, pinchhit home run with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the ninth. Evan Longoria ended it in the 12th with a homer just inside the left-field foul pole for an 8-7 win

Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria hits a walk-oﬀ homer to clinch the AL wild-card on Wednesday night.

“The bottom line is, we failed. And our owners deserve better, the fans deserve better and we have to ﬁx it. We’re going to take a look in the mirror and see if we’re the ones to ﬁx it.” RED SOX GM THEO EPSTEIN ON HIS TEAM’S COLLAPSE

that gave the Rays the AL wild-card spot and capped their rally from a ninegame deficit against Boston in the final 3 1⁄2 weeks. Ace Red Sox reliever Jonathan Papelbon took a 3-2 lead into the ninth at Baltimore. He was one

strike away from finishing when the Orioles struck, and Robert Andino hit a single that left-fielder Carl Crawford couldn’t quite snag. The Orioles won 4-3. The Braves let their last chance get away, too. Ahead of St. Louis by 10 1⁄2 games in late August, At-

lanta went into the final day of the regular season tied with the Cardinals for the NL wild-card. St. Louis won early, leaving it up to the Braves. But rookie closer Craig Kimbrel blew a ninth-inning lead against Philadelphia, and the Phillies wound up winning 4-3 in the 13th. “My mind was rushing,” Kimbrel said. “Things started moving too fast. My head started moving too fast. My brain. I didn’t put it together. It was just too late.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Banana tosser ‘mortified’: Lawyer A London, Ont., man who threw a banana at a black hockey player during a shootout was only trying to keep his favourite team in the game and had no idea his actions could be construed as racist, his lawyer said Thursday. Faisal Joseph said Chris Moorhouse is “mortified” and overcome with remorse for the incident. Joseph said Moorhouse, 26, was caught up in the drama of the shootout when he lobbed the banana at Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds on Sept. 22. Joseph said Moorhouse has freely confessed to throwing the fruit, which he bought at John Labatt Centre where the game was played. He had no idea that hurling bananas at black athletes could be seen as hateful or racially motivated, said Joseph in a telephone interview. Moorhouse was officially charged Wednesday with engaging in a prohibited activity, an offence under the provincial Trespass to Property Act rather than the Criminal Code. If convicted, he faces a maximum fine of $2,000. Joseph said he will make his first court appearance on Nov. 14. “He was horrified when he saw the implications a day later.... He said to me, ‘If I had an apple or an orange, I would have thrown that out onto the ice. I did not realize the significance.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
