Who will sing at Olympic closer? Greatest of Britain. Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, New Order, Kate Bush, Spice Girls, all rumoured to be performing at the closing ceremony
If there’s one place on this Earth that could guarantee great music for the closing of an Olympics — or the closing of anything for that matter —
it would have to be Great Britain. The Kingdom has produced so many top pop acts over the past 50 years that it takes mere seconds to create a wish list — with so many more left out — that would have audiences salivating. The Who, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Adele have all been mentioned but — like they say — you’ll have to watch the show to find out. David Arnold, music director for the ceremony, told Lon-
don’s Telegraph that it will be the greatest after-party in the world. “If the opening ceremony was the wedding, then we’re the wedding reception,” he said. “We’re the one where everyone gets out of their cars at the village hall, goes ‘Wasn’t that lovely, everyone looked great, let’s put on Blame It On the Boogie and have a laugh.” Secret rehearsals have been non-stop at a vacant factory in London, with constant tweakings to the two-and-a-half-hour production entitled A Sym-

phony of British Music. Mum is indeed the word, but rumours persist that the lineup includes 20 or more original artists — many among the greatest British stars ever — performing 30 major pieces. Talk has the elusive Kate Bush (she hasn’t toured since
1979) taking the stage. A download of a new remix of her classic “Running Up That Hill” popped up on Amazon this past week with a release date of Aug. 12, the same day as the closing ceremony. The posting has since been taken down with no explanation.
Roger Daltrey of The Who has been chatting about a piece of music the band has recorded that would be a “fabulous ending for the Olympics” but with no hard confirmation of an appearance. The individual Spice Girls have been seen all over London the past two weeks, leading to strong speculation they are reuniting for the show. Some fans are hoping for a Kinks reunion, but insiders say it will just be frontman Ray Davies. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Horton sentencing hearing. Police officer trapped in cruiser during Black Bloc riot tells court his story

George Horton, 24. It’s also the first time court heard how the situation narrowly averted a possibly deadly outcome. Ontario Court Justice Beverly Brown convicted Horton after finding he kicked a door of the scout car twice, knowing an officer was inside. The Crown did not allege that Horton was the one who struck Queen on the back of the head with a wooden pole. The blow caused Queen pain and “pronounced disorientation” for an extended time. Horton also pleaded guilty to wearing a disguise and three counts of attempted mischief

Toronto the good? Not on this website Sex and violence. City police already investigating peeing video posted Tuesday on controversial site It started as a digital download site, and has morphed into a place where the video of a “young thug” apparently peeing on the face of a homeless man garners almost 300,000 views in two days. The U.S.-based website WorldStarHipHop.com is a smorgasbord of both professionally-produced and amateur videos showcasing music, sex, violence and everything in between. In recent months, it has also become synonymous with the ignominious side of Toronto. Three videos — a couple having sex on the TTC, a girl getting beaten on Yonge Street, and a man apparently peeing on another outside the Eaton Centre — have been posted on the site. Toronto police are now investigating the peeing video
According to Vibe magazine, the WSHH site was founded in 2005 by American Lee “Q” O’Denat, who started off selling mix tapes online. • In 2007 the site started
to show videos and, after shutting down briefly due to hacking, got back into the game as a video aggregator.
• It’s popularity is ranked
232nd in the U.S., ahead of NBA.com, Bloomberg and Travelocity, and 466th in Canada.
posted Tuesday, after being alerted to its existence by the media. It is believed the incident happened outside the H&M at the Eaton Centre between Nov. 17 and Dec. 1 last year. For their part, police say they can’t say why the videos were uploaded to World Star Hip Hop, known as WSHH.

Drake performs during his OVO Festival at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on Aug. 6. The Toronto rapper raised the ire of critics when he added a short rap verse to the recently released track Enough Said by singer/actor Aaliyah, who died in a plane crash 11 years ago. He performed the song in Toronto. The rapper has admitted to be working on an Aaliyah-related project, and the word is it will be a new posthumous album — without the approval of her family, critics charge. carlos osorio/torstar news service

“Certain sites are going to gain reputation for certain type of content which may be a contributing factor” said Const. Wendy Drummond. “The reasons why they post it on a certain site is not integral to the investigation. The fact is, it occurred. It’s been posted and it’s now going to be used as evidence.” The site has also prompted investigations in the U.S. ABC News reports that violent videos on the site have resulted in a least six criminal investigations since April 2011. In fact, it is common to hear amateur cameramen yelling “World Star!” during or after a violent altercation, a testament to the site’s everincreasing reach. “The site was originally about posting underground hip hop,” said Dalton Higgins, hip hop expert and author of forthcoming Far From Over: The Music and Life of Drake. “But it’s now sort of crossed over to the mainstream, to the wider popular culture. It’s become one of the primary vehicles to peddle smut-filled videos.”

Shooting hoops helps newcomers find friends and advice Coming from the basketball-loving Philippine Islands, Ronald Miranda was happy when he saw the neighbourhood basketball court after arriving in Kitchener, Ontario. Little did he know, the game would help him find new friends who would offer sound financial advice. It all began when the software engineer came to Canada to accept a job with a high tech company. While Ronald was excited to bring his wife and daughter to North America, reality soon set in. “We didn’t know anyone here. We had no family and no idea where to get groceries or other necessities,” recalls Ronald. Fortunately, new friends showed them around, including the local basketball court where their families gathered for Friday night games. The growing roster of players included Cris Santos, a Philippine-native, and Branch Manager at Scotiabank’s Courtland Avenue and Shelley Branch, in Kitchener, Ontario.
a free day-to-day bank account for one year4, a wide range of credit card options5 and a number of other customized services and benefits. For Ronald, the weekly basketball enabled his family to build a group of who now camp and picnic together, Scotiabank advisor who helped them their new home.

“It started with a small basketball group and the rest is history,” remarks Ronald. “Now, when I meet other newcomers, we invite them to play ball and point them to Cris for good advice.” THIS ADVERTORIAL IS PREPARED BY SCOTIABANK®.
Good advice from Scotiabank helps Philippine-native Ronald Miranda enjoy court time with his family.
“The game created an extended family for us,” says Cris, who adds that basketball helped ease his own transition to Canada when he arrived seven years ago. “Sports can help build a community for newcomers who share all kinds of first-hand advice and experience.” Off the court, Ronald turned to Cris to understand the banking system and when Ronald saw plans for the perfect four-bedroom home he connected with Cris once again for a mortgage1 pre-approval. “I ask newcomers about their goals so that they can start working towards them,” says Cris. He suggests that newcomers who plan to settle in Canada should think about buying a home or other longer-term goals. “I tell them about pre-authorized contributions to high interest savings accounts, to save for a downpayment, or Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP)2, for their children’s future,” explains Cris, who mentors at the YMCA Cross Cultural and Immigrant Services Centre. Cris can appreciate how the right advice when starting out makes for long-term success, since he is providing first-hand advice. While Cris and his wife were veteran bankers in the Philippines, they had to learn the Canadian banking system before landing jobs at Scotiabank (Maria Santos is a Personal Banking Manager at 14 FischerHallman Road North in Waterloo). “Since we were newcomers, we can empathize with others and are able to guide them and provide trusted solutions suited to their needs,” adds Cris.

Fraud. Lawyers targeted in email scam partly run out of GTA: Police
T:9.313”
They may seem an unlikely group to be caught in a con, but lawyers from across North America have been bilked out of millions of dollars by sophisticated email scams, one of which investigators say was partly co-ordinated in the Greater Toronto Area. The email “collection” scam, which first surfaced around 2007, usually begins with an email from a potential “client” living abroad who asks for help collecting money from a divorce settlement, a real estate deal or other type of legal settlement. Court records show that con artists have been able to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars each time a lawyer is duped, and these types of scams have reportedly pilfered an estimated $70 million from law firms across the continent. Next month, an alleged fraudster involved in one such scam — one that authorities believe accounts for about half the total $70 million in losses — will face a criminal trial in Pennsylvania. And Christy Fawcett, an assistant U.S. attorney assigned to the case, said more indictments are on the way for suspected co-conspirators, including those in the GTA. Emmanuel Ekhator, a 41-year-old Nigerian national, was arrested in Nigeria and extradited to the United

Man unharmed after chasing dog over Bluffs An off-duty firefighter and his dog are OK after plunging almost 50 feet over the Scarborough Bluffs on Thursday afternoon.

How the scam works A fraudster posing as the debtor agrees to pay the debt and sends the lawyer a counterfeit settlement cheque, which yet another fraudster (posing as a bank employee) verifies as authentic via telephone. The lawyer then cashes the cheque, takes a cut in fees for the services and wires the remaining funds to the client’s overseas account. By the time they realize the cheque is fake, the money is gone.
States to face several scamrelated charges last summer. The charges followed a years-long, cross-border investigation dubbed Operation Pacific Wire involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Toronto police financial crimes unit and other agencies. Toronto police became involved in the operation in 2010, Det.-Sgt. Danny Bell confirmed. U.S. prosecutors say Ekhator was living in the GTA during the time he helped coordinate the fraud ring that saw least 80 lawyers and law firms across North America swindled out of about $32 million. The ring also tried to scam another $100 million from 300 additional victims, prosecutors say. TORSTAR news service
mix, tumbled over the side of the bluffs and was trapped and looked hurt. Kitsco said he then grabbed a rope and descended down to fetch the dog, but called 911 when he couldn’t get up. Fire crews were called around 2:15 p.m. and used a harness to retrieve the owner and a basket for his dog. Both are in good condition, but Kitsco said he was “a bit embarrassed” to be rescued by his fellow firemen. TORSTAR news service

Pregnancy test. U.S. school changes rule after being told the policy violated the law A U.S. school is changing a policy that kicked pregnant students out of class and required them to be taught at home, the school’s board chairman said Wednesday. No one at Delhi Charter School in rural Louisiana realized there was anything wrong with the policy until the American Civil Liberties Union’s state chapter threatened to sue, said chairman Albert Christman. The policy has gotten “everybody up in a roar,” he said. The school required students who were suspected of being pregnant to take a pregnancy test. If they refused, or tested positive, they had to be home-schooled. The ACLU said the policy violated Title IX of the 1972 federal education law, which requires equal opportunities for both sexes. Too many schools do not realize pregnant students should receive equal treatment, the National Women’s Law Center said in a June report. “Despite enormous advances for women and girls in education since 1972, schools
Balloons inflate border-patrol agents’ hopes Something new will soon be floating in the skies above the Texas-Mexico border as federal authorities test balloon-like military surveillance devices to see if they might help with border monitoring. U.S. Border Patrol spokesman Henry Mendiola says the large, tethered devices called aerostats likely will take flight by Friday in the Rio Grande Valley. He could not say how many there would be nor how long testing would last. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

• Fatima Goss Graves of the National Women’s Law Center said she had never seen a school policy “that said you must take a pregnancy test in order to attend school. Or one that pushes, so overtly, students out.” • Albert Christman, the Delhi school board chairman, said “just a handful” of students were affected by the policy, which dates to 2006.
across the country (U.S.) continue to bar pregnant and parenting students from activities, kick them out of school, pressure them to attend alternative programs, and penalize them for pregnancy-related absences,” the law centre said in the report. Louisiana Department of Education spokesman Barry Landry said he did not know the state’s policies for pregnant students. the associated press

City kills the buzz at vibrator promo
Supporters awaiting Pussy Riot verdict Masked activists demonstrate in support of members of the feminist punk group Pussy Riot in front of the Russian Embassy in Berlin Thursday. Prosecutors in Russia on Tuesday called for three-year prison sentences for the women who gave an impromptu performance in Moscow’s main cathedral to call for an end to Vladimir Putin’s rule, in a case that has caused international outrage and split Russian society.

A vibrator giveaway that attracted long lines in New York City came to an abrupt end when the city told the promoters to pack it up. The Trojan condom company set up “Pleasure Carts” on Wednesday in two Manhattan neighbourhoods, and were set to give away 10,000 vibrating sex toys. THE ASSOCIATED PRESs

You Could Be Overpaying for Your Car Insurance Each insurance company has their own rates. A friend recently compared car insurance rates with their neighbor and was shocked to find out that he was paying a lot more. Although this may seem unfair, the reality is that there are many factors taken into account when an insurance company determines its rates and where you live is only one factor. The car you drive has an impact on your insurance rate. While you may not know which vehicle is more or less expensive to insure, there are a few points to consider. Each car is rated based on likelihood of a crash, injury and theft. Also, the car value plays a role, as the cost to
repair or replace the car may be higher for a more expensive automobile. All of these features of your car will affect your insurance rate. Your driving record has probably one of the biggest impacts on your rate. Good drivers get the best rates because they represent a lower risk of a claim. If you have a ticket or an at-fault car accident on your record, you will likely pay a higher rate than someone with a clean record. Where you live and where you drive also affects your insurance premium. Your postal code impacts your rate based on accident statistics in that particular area as well as the likelihood of theft. And your commute distance will likely have an impact as well, as the more time you spend on the road, the odds of an accident increase.
Most of these factors are within your control; but one critical component of insurance rates charged is the insurance company’s experience with similar profiles based on all the factors. And on top of this, each insurance company can rate the factors differently making it almost impossible to tell why a rate with one company could be thousands more than the exact same policy with another company. This means that while one insurance company may charge more in your postal code or for the car you drive, another may charge less for one or both of these factors. With so many insurance companies in Ontario, chances are you may not be with the one that can offer you the best rate for your specific profile. The only way to make sure you are getting
the best insurance rate is to check the costs with as many companies as possible. But who has the time to call or click with that many companies? One option to save time and money is to use a quoting site like InsuranceHotline.com, which will compare your rate against over 30 insurance companies.
The difference between “oh no!” and “oh.” Why pay extra for the exact same thing? Our network of over 30 premier insurance companies on InsuranceHotline.com could mean the difference between paying a lot more than you anticipated on insurance, and paying a whole lot less. Visit InsuranceHotline.com today and experience a fast, free, and easy service that will help you find the right rate for you.

Face-chewer ‘ripped me to ribbons’: Victim Investigation. Ronald Poppo tells police his attacker was acting nice before turning ‘berserk’ A homeless man whose face was mostly chewed off in a bizarre assault alongside a busy Florida highway told police that his attacker “just ripped me to ribbons.” In a recorded interview with investigators, Ronald Poppo said the man who approached him at first seemed friendly. Then the man, Rudy Eugene, seemed to become angry about something that had happened on Miami Beach, where thousands were partying through the holiday weekend in late May. “For a while he was acting nice. Then he got flustered.
Ronald Poppo the associated press
He probably remembered something that happened on the beach and was not happy about it,” Poppo said in the interview that was taped July 19 and first reported Wednesday by Miami news station WFOR-TV. Poppo said Eugene “turned berserk” and attacked with his bare hands,

screaming that both men would die. “He just ripped me to ribbons. He chewed up my face. He plucked out my eyes. Basically, that’s all there is to say about it,” Poppo said. Eugene, 31, was shot and killed by a Miami police officer during the attack. Lab tests found only marijuana in his system. Poppo, 65, remains in a long-term-care facility after losing an eye, his eyebrows, his nose and parts of his forehead and right cheek in the May 26 attack. His other eye was severely damaged. Poppo recalled Eugene telling him that his Bible was stolen in Miami Beach and that Poppo was the one who took it. Poppo said he told Eugene he did not have anything, had not been to Miami Beach. the associated press

Crude nicknames reflect Mexican cartels’ decline More low-brow. This crop of bosses doesn’t have the mystique of earlier generations of gangsters, drug lords When “The Worm Eater” and his sidekick “The Rat” were captured, they were allegedly carrying five grenades and about $1 million in cash. “Garbage” was caught extorting money from Mexico City bus drivers, police say. “The Pig” was known for his brutal style of killing rivals. “The Bum” allegedly burned and buried his victims in clandestine pits. As Mexico’s drug violence gets bloodier, with cartels competing to leave everbigger piles of slaughtered victims, drug traffickers are being tagged with ever-grittier, low-brow nicknames to reflect their impersonal, almost industrial style of violence. Gone are the days of highflying sobriquets such as “The King” (Jesus Zambada Garcia), “The Lord of the Skies” (Amado Carrillo Fuentes) or
“The Boss of Bosses” (Arturo Beltran Leyva), all of whom are dead or in prison. Midlevel cartel leaders are now adopting or being baptized with nicknames such as “The Dog Killer.” That was Baltazar Saucedo Estrada, an alleged leader of the notoriously bloodthirsty Zetas gang. Experts say the killings and arrests of top cartel bosses have left lesser spawn to run the drug, kidnapping and extortion businesses and that has fuelled a cruder approach and a psychopathic, massdismemberment style of killing. Instead of offing rivals for turf or cash, many of today’s narco-killers, especially among the Zetas, view their ultraviolence as a part of business, designed to shock the public into submission. “What we’re seeing today is a different kind of nickname, that reflects a different way of criminals identifying themselves, and these new forms of violence,” said Martin Barron, an expert in criminology at Mexico’s National Institute for Penal Sciences.

Russia. PM says someone must take rap for latest bungled space launch Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Thursday that this week’s failed space launch has dented the nation’s prestige and that those to blame must be held responsible. A Proton-M booster rocket launched Monday failed to place two communications satellites into target orbits, a mishap that followed several other botched launches. An official investigation is underway. Medvedev said Thursday the failure could have been caused by “traditional sloppiness.” He says he will chair a government meeting next week to look into the case and name those responsible for the failure. “We can’t tolerate that any longer,” Medvedev said at the start of a Cabinet session. “We are losing our prestige and billions of rubles.” Russia’s space program has suffered a series of humiliating failures blamed on manufacturing flaws and engineering mistakes. They included the loss of a robotic probe designed to
Wounded prestige
Officials said the failed launches were rooted in the post-Soviet industrial meltdown that has badly hurt a once-proud space program, stymying its modernization. Despite a steady increase of funding thanks to oil revenues, Russia’s space industries continue to rely on outdated equipment and an aging workforce, and quality standards have degraded. • Recent failures followed other botched launches. Russia lost three navigation satellites in 2010, a military satellite in 2011 and a telecommunications satellite that year.

NASA’s photo-snapping rover Curiosity at work on Mars Curiosity returned another postcard from Mars as it begins a two-year mission. This image provided on Thursday by NASA shows a portion of the first 360-degree colour panorama of the Gale Crater. The panorama was stitched together using thumbnail images taken by the rover’s mast camera. Curiosity landed in Gale Crater last Sunday, Aug. 5. The craft is the most complex such rover ever designed, and NASA says it’s behaving “basically flawlessly.” NASA/the associated press

New swine-flu strain linked to fairs Don’t pet the pigs. That’s the message state and county-fair visitors got Thursday from U.S. health officials who reported a five-fold increase in cases of a new strain of swine flu

Comedian Colbert ruffles Wikipedia Reaction. Wikipedia protects U.S. vice presidential candidates’ pages after Stephen Colbert urges viewers to make edits Wikipedia has protected the pages of possible Republican vice presidential candidates thanks to meddling by Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert, according to the political and technology website TechPresident. The Wikipedia page entries of several candidates are now “semi-protected” and revisions can only be made by established users of the free crowdsourced encyclopedia. Colbert picked up the item on Fox News stating there was a jump in revisions to Sarah Palin’s pages in 2008 prior to her becoming the VP candidate. There was speculation that the same thing might happen this time with the Republican nominee for vice-president. Colbert urged viewers to go

Suspect in hammer attack may have given fake identity
Coalition Avenir Québec Leader Francois Legault greets members of the public during an election campaign stop in Mirabel, Que., Thursday. graham hughes/the canadian press
When a Spanish tourist was abruptly pummelled in the head by a hammer-wielding stranger on a park bench last week in New York City, there seemed to be little mystery about who attacked him — a suspect was arrested nearby and confessed, authorities said. But now the case may not be so straightforward: Prosecutors are investigating whether the suspect gave authorities a phoney name after a chess master in Canada told them he believes the man is using his identity. At the moment, the suspect is being held without bail on attempted murder and other charges relating to the hammer attack. He hasn’t been charged with any other crime. The Manhattan district attorney’s office is looking into the false-identity allegation, a person familiar with the case said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Yoos too? • The suspect gave police
the same name — complete with middle name — and birth date as chess player John C. Yoos.
The Legal Aid Society, which is representing the suspect, had no immediate comment. The tourist, Hugo Alejandre of Barcelona, was eating lunch with his girlfriend in a park near city hall on July 30 when a man sitting next to them pulled out a hammer and started bashing Alejandre on the head and back with it, prosecutors said. Bystanders ultimately wrestled the tool away. Alejandre was treated for a spinal fracture and deep cuts, prosecutors said. The chess player, John C. Yoos, 43, of Vancouver, says he knew nothing about the attack until a friend contacted him Monday after

She was stabbed 40 times and her throat was slashed.

He looked at photos accompanying news stories about the attack, recognized the suspect as an acquaintance from years ago and started calling authorities. “It’s a little bit disconcerting because, obviously, it’s been widely reported. It’s my name and my age on it,” he said by phone. “I’d be very happy if this was clarified soon — that this is not, in fact, me.” the associated press
Victoria to Winnipeg
Stowaway cat returns home A curious cat named Bandit is back home in Victoria after hitching a ride in a moving van that took him 2,500 kilometres away to Winnipeg. The Gunderson family moved to Manitoba last week from the B.C. capital. The driver of their moving truck found the kitty stowaway in a compartment underneath the trailer. Bandit survived the three-day journey with no food or water. The cat was returned home by plane after the Gundersons contacted the Winnipeg Humane Society. the canadian press

Iran holds Syrian conference as regime fights off rebel push Call it dialogue. Allies stand together amidst international pressure for Assad to step down As Syrian forces struggled to drive rebels from the country’s largest city, the regime’s key ally Iran tried Thursday to start an alternative political process to address the crisis. Iran gathered an array of nations ranging from strong
supporters of Damascus to far-flung nations a world away from the Syrian civil war. The one-day forum is unlikely to result in any international consensus, but it shows Iran’s resolve to stand by President Bashar Assad as his forces try to crush the 17-month-old uprising. On Thursday, Syrian rebels said they were low on ammunition but still managed to put up resistance against a regime ground offensive in the city of Aleppo, a centre
of fighting for more than two weeks. Tehran billed Thursday’s conference as a way to focus on dialogue — an alternative to Western-led initiatives that call for Assad to give up power. Iran has said in the past that the Syrian regime’s critics fail to take into account violence by the rebels. “Iran is against the killing of unarmed people and citizens by any side,” Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi
said at the gathering. He also warned that sending weapons to the opposition will only fuel the crisis, and he accused rebels of using civilians as “human shields”. Russia in the past has urged the West to allow Tehran to take part in international discussions on how to settle the Syrian crisis, arguing that the Islamic republic could play an important role. Moscow has been the main protector and ally of Assad’s regime, shield-
ing it from UN sanctions over its brutal crackdown on an uprising that has evolved into a full-blown civil war. The U.S. dismissed the Iranian gathering. “It’s just hard for us to imagine that after putting so much effort into keeping Assad in power ... how they (Iran) can be a constructive actor in facilitating a political solution to the crisis,” State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said.
Conference attendees • Iran said some 30
countries attended the meeting, including Russia and China, as well as far-off Benin, Cuba and Mauritania.
• The meeting was called
at short notice, and most countries were represented at the ambassador level.

Bosnia. Wildfires set off blast in old minefield, more explosions feared As firefighters tried to contain two wildfires near an ammunition factory in southern Bosnia on Thursday, one of the blazes began setting off explosions in a minefield left over from the country’s war in the 1990s, officials said. No one was injured, but the risks of entering the minefield and heavy winds were making it difficult for the firefighters and several
military helicopters assisting them to battle the two blazes in the populated area. This summer has been one of the hottest on record in Bosnia, and it hasn’t rained in the country for two months. Bosnia’s 1992-1995 war turned it into one of the world’s most mine-infested countries. the associated press
Colorado. Lawyers for movie shooting suspect say client is mentally ill Attorneys for the suspect in the Colorado movie theatre shootings said Thursday their client is mentally ill.

Daredevil Nik Wallenda walks a tightrope high above the beach in front of the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel and the Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City, N.J. on Thursday. The Press of Atlantic City, Sean Fitzgerald / the associated press
Stunt on the beach one very tall order High tide. Daredevil Wallenda takes another scary stroll, this time unsupported Like anyone taking a walk on the beach, Nik Wallenda on Thursday found sand in places he didn’t want it. For Wallenda, it was on the tightrope he traversed some 100 feet over the beach. “It felt really slippery,” he said. So slippery that he considered doing the 1,300-foot walk barefoot. But ultimately, Wallenda decided to keep on the buckskin and suede shoes his mother made him, and he completed the walk without any real difficulties. For Wallenda, a member of the seventh generation of the famous daredevil family that’s been putting on shows for two centuries, it was another in a long line of death-defying

feats. In June, he walked farther — and higher up — over Niagara Falls. This time, though, he was unharnessed as seagulls flew by, a couple of banner-pulling planes zipped around, boats came to shore so their occupants could watch and all eyes on the beach — save those of a few diligent lifeguards — were looking at Wallenda high above. Local officials estimated that 150,000 people saw him make the half-hour stroll, step by careful step, in person. There were expectations of a boon for Atlantic City and the Tropicana Casino & Resort, which put on the event.
The crowd got a preview of the Wallenda Family Experience show opening at the casino on Sunday and the city got a spectacle of the sort it wants as it continues to deal with declining gambling revenue caused largely by the opening of casinos in nearby states. Noreen Saggese, a teacher from Washington Township, N.J., was staying at the Tropicana with a cousin to celebrate her 59th birthday. “There’s no net and there’s no harness,’’ she said as she prepared to watch the walk. “It’s thrilling.” After the walk, Wallenda, 33, had a rehearsal for his family’s show. But first, he made time for a quick, calm news conference. Where this walk ranks among his greatest hits? A diplomatic dodge: “I’ll always remember this walk because of the crowd that turned up, that beautiful boardwalk and the sand.” The associated press

U.S. begins Agent Orange chemical cleanup in Vietnam The plan. 73,000 cubic metres of soil will be heated to 335 C to break down the dioxin into oxygen, carbon dioxide and other harmless substances The United States began a landmark project Thursday to clean up a dangerous chemical left from the defoliant Agent Orange — 50 years after American planes first sprayed it on Vietnam’s jungles to destroy enemy cover. Dioxin, which has been linked to cancer, birth defects and other disabilities, will be removed from the site of a former U.S. air base in Dan-
ang in central Vietnam. The effort is seen as a long-overdue step toward removing a thorn in relations between the former foes nearly four decades after the Vietnam War ended. The $43-million joint project with Vietnam is expected to be completed in four years on the 19-hectare contaminated site, now an active Vietnamese military base near Danang’s commercial airport. The work begins as Vietnam and the U.S. forge closer ties to boost trade and counter China’s rising influence in the disputed south China Sea that’s believed to be rich in oil and natural resources. The U.S. says protecting peace and freedom of navigation in the sea is in its national interest.
The issue
The U.S. military dumped some 75 million litres of Agent Orange and other herbicides on about a quarter of former South Vietnam between 1962 and 1971, decimating about two million hectares of forest — roughly the size of Massachusetts. • The Agent Orange
issue has continued to blight the U.S.-Vietnam relationship because dioxin can linger in the environment for decades, entering the food supply through the fat of fish and other animals.

Tech giant pays up to settle regulatory case with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission Google is paying a $22.5 million US fine to settle the latest regulatory case questioning the Internet search leader’s respect for people’s privacy and the integrity of its internal controls. The penalty announced Thursday by the Federal Trade Commission matches the figure reported by The Associated Press and other media outlets last month. It’s the most that the FTC has ever fined a company for a civil violation. The rebuke resolves the FTC’s allegations that Google duped millions of web surfers who use Apple’s Safari browser. Google had assured people that it wouldn’t monitor their online activities, as long as they didn’t change the browser settings to permit the tracking. Google broke that promise, according to the FTC, by creating a technological loophole that enabled the company’s
Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. the associated press file
DoubleClick advertising network to shadow unwitting Safari users. That tracking gave DoubleClick a better handle on what kinds of marketing pitches to show them. The FTC concluded that the contradiction between Google’s stealth tracking and its privacy assurances to Safari users violated a vow that the company made in another settlement with the agency in October. The settlement doesn’t affect a separate FTC inquiry over whether Google has been abusing its position to highlight its own services and drive up online ad prices. The settlement also doesn’t come with any admission from Google of wrongdoing. the associated press

The six astronauts living aboard the International Space Station have been taking time from their busy schedules to watch the 2012 Summer Olympics. I’m not even allowed to use Twitter at work. Just like us. A study published this week requiring wild hyenas in Kenya to slide open a bolt latch to get a piece of meat showed that only nine out of 62 hyenas succeeded by using their teeth, or flipping the box. This is a huge coup for the science community who spent countless grant dollars to show that if we ever encounter hyenas, we must pray that it’s one of the dumb or lazy ones. Second-chance Chuck. Charlie Sheen is back with a new show aptly entitled Anger Management.

Todd R. Forsgren
Behind the photos
Bird photography
Shock value inside ‘Birds in nets’ art Looking at these birds haplessly caught in nets is bound to ruffle a few feathers. But in truth these creatures are unharmed in what is a research process used by biologists. Todd Forsgren’s provocative images are from a series on mist nets, which ornithologists have used for years to measure and record birds.1|16
• Definition. Mist nets are used by ornithologists for data that cannot be obtained from using binoculars or microphones. They “function as huge spider webs, catching unsuspecting birds,” Forsgren, shown above, says on his website. The scientist carefully removes the bird from the net. The bird is then measured, aged, sexed, and banded with an individually numbered anklet before it is released back into the wild, unharmed.
39.625mm
2|12
• Inspiration. Forsgren’s photographs were inspired by the work of pioneering bird enthusiasts: Painter John James Audubon and ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson.
“I spent days studying and trying to emulate Peterson and Audubon as a bird-watching teenager,” Forsgren said. “John James Audubon’s Birds of America, and Roger Tory Peterson’s Field Guide to the Birds of Eastern and Central North America were the first pieces of artwork I loved.” • On critics. Despite the value of data from mist nets usage, Forsgren understands there will always be detractors of the technique: “For some viewers, no amount of discussion can convince them that the good this contributes to bird populations justifies an hour or two of stress on individual birds.”

• For science. Forsgren explains the significance, rather than the tragedy, of getting birds tangled in nets. “Most people think the images are tragic if they’re not familiar with the mist-netting and bird-banding,” he said in an interview with art print website 20x200. “But I hope that they’ll come to understand the valuable information that biologists can collect using these techniques.”

RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN
Bourne delivers on action, not on plot Richard: Mark, why they didn’t call this movie Bourne Again, I’ll never know. Jason Bourne may not make an appearance, but it feels like a movie we’ve seen before — the same shaky camera and frenetic action. The only thing that’s changed is that while there’s a fair amount of CIA superspy gobbledygook, it’s surprisingly light on plot. For a movie about the deepest, darkest workings of secret government agencies the story is really rather simple. Mark: It’s just another chase movie, although they try to disguise it with pseudoscientific bafflegab delivered at record speed. The blue pill? The green pill? Are we in the Matrix yet? That having been said, it’s a very good chase movie for the first two-thirds, until it descends into very con-
Read
ventional car chases and the like. Superior acting lifts this movie above the run of the mill CIA stuff. Do you think Jeremy Renner was up to the task? Or should we lobby to bring back Matt Damon? RC: I liked Renner, but I loved Damon in the role. I enjoyed Renner’s performance in The Hurt Locker, but I wonder if he has the stuff to carry a movie on his own. He can run, jump and shoot with the best of them, but I was hoping for more charisma. When he’s not in motion chasing after a bad guy or wrestling a wolf, I found him kind of flat. I was more on side with him in the beginning when he played Cross like a junkie who needed to score. After that he became a bland Bond wannabe. MB: Copy that, Richard. But
it was nice to see Ed Norton working again, and some of the small tense roles handled so well by the cast of wellchosen character actors. I liked the slow build of the first 30 minutes, I thought the editing and crosscutting was masterful, and the shootout set piece in the old house was so well done I felt I was right there in that house with the actors. But what’s with bringing in the hit man at the end of the movie? How many times have we seen that cliché? Or the extended car chase — a non-thrilla in Manila? And don’t even get me started on the ending! RC: The last 30 seconds felt more like a door slamming shut than an ending. MB: You know what they say: When a door slams shut, a window opens onto a sequel.

Jeremy Renner in The Bourne Legacy. SUBMITTED
Synopsis
Dovetailing the story from The Bourne Ultimatum, the new film begins with Jason Bourne’s appearance in Manhattan outing the CIA’s Treadstone/Operation Outcome unit. Before a Senate committee can unearth info on the genetic experiments they conducted on their agents, head honcho Eric Byer (Edward Norton) orders all agents neutralized (assassinated). Among the targets is Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), a highly skilled operative who requires chemical enhancement to stay in peak killing form. •

That mindset of “I might not get it” is pretty mature and realistic. How do you get that balance? If we’re going to go way back, my dad played football. And I’ve always kind of compared everything to the sports world. Like there’s always somebody who’s going to be coming up who’s more talented or faster or stronger or something like that. There’s always going to be somebody who’s waiting in the wings to take your place or sing right alongside you. So I always had that mindset because of my dad, and I applied that to Idol as well.
viously I’m here for a reason if all of them collectively thought I was good for the part. And I was just like, OK let’s do this. I cannot be horrible if Whitney’s playing my mom, so I better step it up somehow. I take it you’ve read more scripts now. Have you gotten any bad ones? Um ... well, I mean I haven’t read a ton of them. There are some that are kind of ... I got one for a slapstick horror movie, and I read that and I enjoyed it because I enjoy a kooky movie from time to time, but I was like, “Hmm ...”

“This is great, this is really incredible.” And then at the same time I was like, “Well, I haven’t read very many scripts so how do I know the difference between something that’s great and something that’s not?” My mindset when I went in to audition was there’s a very real chance that you couldn’t get this part, but if you do, run with it. Just go, run with it, don’t question it. But questions and doubt always creep in. Once I did get it, I was just like, OK, so they believe in me. They see something that I can’t see yet, so ob-

Anna Kendrick won role on her talent, not rep Role in ParaNorman. Producers had no idea she was one of the stars of Twilight, just liked the way she sounded and acted
NED EHRBAR
scene@metronews.ca
Anna Kendrick assumed she got her part in ParaNorman — as the title character’s obnoxious older sister — because of her work in the Twilight series. But that wasn’t exactly the case. Luckily, the Oscarnominated actress knows how to take even the most awkward of compliments. When you’re cast to do a voice for a character some could describe as annoying,
how do you take that? Well, it was funny because actually I had assumed this was the first job offer I’d ever gotten because of Twilight. Because everything else is sort of based on Rocket Science or Up in the Air — and now 50/50 and so on and so forth. This is such a different character that I thought this has to be based on my character in Twilight. I asked them about it, and they said they’d never seen Twilight and they just heard my voice in an interview and thought it would be good, and I was like, “I don’t know how to take that at all. Thank you, I think?” You know, I was like playfully offended. Did you make it up to the Laika studio in Oregon? All my (voice recording) sessions were in L.A., but I did make a special trip up to
Laika just to see the sets, and I saw them when they were being taken apart so I got to kind of walk around in them, and Anna Kendrick that was realGetty images ly special. So I did miss seeing something actually filmed, which was disappointing, but all the other actors were jealous that I got to walk through and take pictures, like, inside the set — as a 50-foot woman. Did you take anything with you, like slip a tree in your pocket or something? Oh, no. I considered it, but I thought I’d get in trouble. They gave me a mini bust of Courtney, which is hilarious because she’s so silly, and to
have this really stately bust of her on my bookshelf is great. She’s got a lot of ... physicality to work with. It’s like she’s a force of nature in a moody, volatile, teenage way. After starting in theatre, you made your move to film with the Camp almost 10 years ago. That was a really special first experience to have, and I’m really glad that it worked out that way because I think if I’d been plopped into a normal film set, I think I would’ve been utterly bewildered and terrified. The fact that it was about musical theatre and we were all first-time film actors just made it a really easy environment to ask questions and understand the process of filmmaking, and I think it really made me embrace filmmaking and the physical limitations of filmmaking

Laika Studios’ ParaNorman is a stop-action animated comedy about a lonely little boy who just happens to be able to speak with the dead. Handout

An American-set sequel to Julie Delpy’s 2007 comedy 2 Days in Paris, this movie involves the actressturned-director and her on-screen husband Chris Rock hosting the former’s wacky dysfunctional family of French sexobsessed pot-smokers in Manhattan. As appealing as Rock is (playing the straight-man), the laughs are few, the story is rambling and the payoff simply isn’t memorable. Steve Gow
Craig Zobel’s queasy drama about a fast-food restaurant plagued by a perverted crank caller is one of the most pressurized American movies in recent memory. Realistically staged and occasionally difficult to watch, Compliance goes beyond its based-on-a-true-story hook; it’s got the shapeliness and finesse of a great thriller. adam nayman
An enjoyably lurid Texas thriller, Killer Joe stars Matthew McConaughey as a gentlemanly hitman contracted by a dysfunctional family to off a well-insured matriarch — a twisted plot that plays out with all kinds of nasty theatrical flourish. Superb direction by veteran William Friedkin. adam nayman

••••• Red Lights is one of the strangest Hollywood films of the year — a supernatural drama, a detective thriller and a gory horror film. Cillian Murphy and Sigourney Weaver star as paranormal investigators out to debunk con artists, running up against a potentially real medium played by a menacing Robert DeNiro, who gives us his best performance in years.

Rumours about his demise from shooting himself in the head onstage, lighting himself on fire and dying in prison trumped recognition of talented American singer/ songwriter Rodriguez. He made two albums that flopped stateside but were, unbeknownst to him, colossal hits in South Africa where he was more revered than the Rolling Stones or Elvis. This is strong stuff. ANNE BRODIE
Superficially pretty and tranquil, there’s a riptide under the surface of this gripping portrait of a Norwegian drug addict on day leave from rehab. It begins with a failed suicide attempt, a bad interview and loaded encounters with people from his past. The storm inside him is palpable thanks to Lie’s devastating performance. This is masterful psychological puzzle hits like a ton of bricks. anNE BRODIE

“The masses, when it comes to seeing me in the film, are going to see this and go, ‘Whoa!’ Some of them are going to say, ‘That’s the McConaughey I like to see’ and a lot of them are going to say, ‘I can’t believe he did that, I didn’t know he would do that, could do that.’” Matthew McConaughey on his new role as a crooked cop who moonlights as a contract killer in the film Killer Joe

•••••
It may be political satire but there isn’t a whole lot of effectual social commentary in The Campaign. Instead, Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis star as two moronic politicians who relentlessly compete for election votes through everything from sex tape campaign ads to inadvertently punching babies. The inconsistent but engrossing gags only drive any serious political points into the muck. Steve Gow
Streep’s Kay, 30 years married and five years untouched, is optimistic that she can save her relationship, despite evidence to the contrary. Her husband Arnold (Jones) has mossed over emotionally and sexually, content to live a cold, separate life. He grudgingly acquiesces to therapy but deflects Dr. Feld’s (Carell) advice. The film forgoes histrionics for emotional realism as only these pros can deliver. anne brodie

Turning 65 next year doesn’t only mean more nap time for Billy Crystal. The actor and comedian is transforming the milestone into a book, and maybe even a stage show. Crystal has an agreement with Henry Holt and Company for a book that will be
part memoir, part meditation — with jokes — about getting older. Crystal said he hoped to have it out around the time the big day arrives, on March 14, 2013. “There are 77 million of us baby boomers in the country and this book will speak to them and how we look at the world,” he said. The book is currently untitled. “We have a dirty title and a sincere title,” he said. He’s considering adapting the book for the stage. Crystal had enormous success with the Tony Award-winning 700

Lundgren lured back to Expendables cast because his role is ‘fun’ to play Character written specifically for him. Veteran action star sees a lot of himself and his own past in his expanded role
Time to heal
Grieving Stallone stays home
NED EHRBAR
scene@metronews.ca
It’s no secret that ’80s action film star Dolph Lundgren also has a degree in chemical engineering and gave up a Fullbright scholarship to MIT to become a bodyguard for Grace Jones and eventually an actor. By complete coincidence, in The Expendables 2 we learn that his mercenary character, Gunnar, gave up studying chemical engineering at MIT to become a bouncer at a club and shack up with an exotic girlfriend. How convenient. Whose idea was it to make your character’s backstory your own backstory? That was (Sylvester) Stallone. I had reservations about the original script on the second (movie). My character had been so fun to play in the first one. That was the reason I did the movie, and it felt like everyone seemed happy with it. Then in the second one, my character was just like a regular guy in the back with the rest of them, like, “Hey, can I throw a grenade? Can I kill someone, please?” And I didn’t like that. I didn’t want to make the picture — actual-
Sylvester Stallone (centre) managed to overcome initial reluctance by Dolph Lundgren (far right) to be in The Expendables 2 by customizing his role. handout
ly, I did turn it down. So then Stallone kind of came to me and said, “I’m going to think of something,” and he came up with a couple of ideas. This was one. Did you have a say in exactly how much his story matches yours? It was all in there. I was a bouncer, and it had to do with Grace (Jones) — he fell in love with some girl who dances at a disco, which is kind of like
Grace and the whole thing, right? Look, Sly made a career out of making his whole life into movies and it worked for him, so I did a little bit for me, I guess, and I guess it worked pretty well. Was it common for you guys to slip in Stallone impressions on set when he wasn’t around? Yeah, and the Arnold (Schwarzenegger) one, too. “I’ll be back” (laughs). I was at Comic-Con
with them, and you’re sitting at the panel with Arnold and Stallone, and you just don’t say a word because what are you going to do? These guys are so famous that they’re like almost beyond famous. Anybody can do their voice, everybody knows them in the whole world — in the fricking jungles of Malaysia, even. When you’re bringing in all these new characters, beefing up the cast, is there
a worry that you’re going to get crowded it out? Yes, I think it weighs on you incredibly. Part of the filmmakers’ and the writers’ task is how do you give 10 co-stars enough screen time for them not to get upset or feel like they’re getting lost — or for the audience to get their dose of Chuck (Norris) or whoever they want to see, Dolph Lund gren or Terry Crews or Stallone — well, Stallone gets a lot of screen time (laughs).
The cast of The Expendables 2 say they’re giving Sylvester Stallone space after the death of his son last month. Stallone’s 36-year-old son Sage died on July 13 in his Los Angeles home — a day after Stallone was joined by Arnold Schwarzenegger and other Expendables stars at Comic-Con in San Diego. “Something like that is so severe. You can’t really do anything. I sent him a handwritten note. I contributed to a charity for his kid,” said Dolph Lundgren, one of the stars of the film, which opens Aug. 17. “He knows we’re thinking about him,” Lundgren said at a recent media event for the film. “He knows us. He knows our prayers go out to him. But what are you going to do? I have two kids. And all you can do is hug your kids and go thank God it didn’t happen to you.” Stallone has not made any public appearances since the death. His publicist said in a statement that the star was “devastated and grief-stricken.” The associated Press

Album title goes here Deadmau5. New disc has a strange title and comes on the heels of artist’s musing about taking a break Just a few days after declaring he needed to “slam on the breaks” because he was feeling “pretty miserable,” Deadmau5 has announced a new album. The 31-year-old electronic music producer from Niagara
Falls, Ont., will release Album Title Goes Here on Sept. 25. Following his collaboration with the Foo Fighters at the Grammy Awards this year, the 13-track collection finds Deadmau5 — whose real name is Joel Zimmerman — dipping his toes into rock once again, with My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way singing on lead single Professional Griefers Many of the songs have been available online already as rough edits and can be found easily.

Canadians finally get a taste of Sheen’s Anger The Olympics are all about dedication and discipline, and what says dedication and discipline like Charlie Sheen? OK, so Sunday likely marks the last time the manic actor will be associated with the Olympics, as his heavily promoted new series Anger Management makes its Canadian premiere immediately following the London Games’ closing. Loosely inspired by the Jack Nicholson movie with the same title, the show also features Selma Blair and Brett Butler in recurring roles. ctv Punk on Punk’d

Fresh fall lineup. Casts and execs hold their breath as the new season approaches and the axe hangs over everyone’s head It’s the moment before the moment of truth. The new fall series are in the wings, just days or weeks from bursting into view and discovering their fate. Their stars, producers and network bosses are full of anticipation and resolve. That’s what the recent Television Critics Association powwow was all about: Casts and execs parading before the nation’s TV reporters to get them stoked. Granted, many of the stars who hawked their show with such conviction were relying on blind faith. Most were still a few days from resuming production. Some hadn’t

On Saturday, MTV Canada is re-airing the episode of Punk’d hosted by the Stratford, Ont., native.

even seen any upcoming scripts. Their only firsthand knowledge was based on the series pilot they shot months ago. The painful truth is, the shows the stars came plugging at TCA will most likely be gone a year from now, when some of the same actors could be right back here promoting their next series — those actors, that is, who are lucky enough to land another series so quickly. Consider Laura Benanti
from the upcoming NBC comedy Go On, who a year earlier sat here on the dais in the Beverly Hilton Hotel’s grand ballroom as part of the ensemble of NBC’s The Playboy Club — which was axed last fall after airing just three weeks. Alongside her was Go On co-star Matthew Perry, who last season was at TCA plugging his ABC sitcom Mr. Sunshine. Terry O’Quinn, who scored belated TV stardom on Lost,
is now headlining as a devilish landlord on ABC’s spooky thriller 666 Park Avenue, and he takes nothing for granted. “I feel very uncertain, not terribly well-balanced,” he said with a wan smile, “and having done this for a living for this long, that’s a fairly normal state. I hope the show succeeds, but I’ve become pretty philosophical about the numerous failures that one suffers in this business.” The Associated Press

wake of revelations of her infidelity, but apparently now he’s looking to talk — sort of. “Rob had been avoiding her calls, but now they’re talking — well, they’re barely talking,” the source says. “There’s a lot of dead silence on the phone because there’s not a lot to talk about.”

Greece in a wine glass LIQUID ASSETS

Give them a delicious reason to say ‘Opa!’ Pan-Sautéed Salmon Over Mediterranean Vegetables. This healthy recipe is inspired by some popular Greek flavours The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates stated, “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food”. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, used spices and herbs from the Greek countryside for his
medical healing. Greeks have been cooking on the open grill for thousands of years. They are famous for both their grilled vegetables and their grilled fish. Grilling is also one of the healthiest ways of cooking food. Main ingredients of Greek cuisine are olive oil, vegetables and herbs, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various meats. Also important are olives, feta cheese, eggplant, courgette (zucchini), and yogurt. Greek desserts are characterized by nuts and honey.
Festival
This weekend, take in the sights, sounds and tastes of Toronto’s Pilaros Taste of the Danforth. •
When. Aug. 10 - Aug. 12
•
Where. 2.5 kilometre
stretch of Danforth Ave. •
What. This Greek festival boasts everything from musical performances to a beer garden, and dozens and dozens of food stations of Greek cuisine.
This heart-healthy Mediterranean recipe helps you get your vegetables in, along with providing a nice amount of fibre and omega3s.
1.
Heat 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a small non-stick skillet over low heat. Add prosciutto. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until crispy. Stir in garlic; turn off heat.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a
large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms and sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Stir in tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. Add spinach and basil and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in prosciutto-garlic mixture. Cover; keep warm. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
3.
Heat remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil in the same skillet used to cook prosciutto over medium heat. Add salmon, skin-side down. Cook,
covered, for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Use a spatula to loosen fish from its skin, which will stick to skillet.
4. Divide vegetables among 4 plates, top with salmon and serve immediately. TASTE OF THE DANFORTH/SHAPE.COM
Ingredients Start to finish: 30 minutes • 3 olive oil, divided • 2 prosciutto, diced • 3 fresh garlic, minced • 1 1⁄2 red onion, chopped • 10 button mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly-sliced • 4 plum tomatoes, cored and diced • 4 (packed) spinach leaves, chopped • 1 fresh basil leaves, torn • 4 4-oz salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
LIFE
This recipe serves four.
When it comes to undiscovered wine countries, Greece is the word. While you could make a decent argument for China and somewhere obscure in South America or Eastern Europe, the Greeks are often credited for getting the wine industry rolling by being the first to ferment grape juice a few centuries ago. Problem is, Greek wines come with more baggage than a family holiday with the Kardashian sisters. Though the good stuff is Mediterranean in style, I’m betting the only wine you’ve ever tried from Greece is the polarizing, pine-resonated Retsina — which has a taste that can only be acquired after copious shots of Ouzo. As if freaky flavours aren’t enough of a problem, the old adage “It’s all Greek to me” certainly applies to most of the country’s wine labels. Even if you can pronounce a word with five vowels, you would still need a UN translator to understand what it means. Selection varies dramatically across the country so it’s hard to recommend a go-to wine. Look for one made by one of its better producers (Boutari or D. Kourtakis) and with one of its endogenous classic grapes — agiorgitiko for red and moschofilero for white. “Opa!”

Just Opened: Free People
Brewer’s Backyard at Brick Works
This one’s for the ladies. Sixties-inspired boho chic ex-storedinaire Free People recently opened its first international location, in a sweet three-story “house” at 79 Yorkville Ave. The 73rd store — there are 72 locations across the States — features a prime selection from the company’s collections, replete with a separate entrance for its Intimates collection, making that space, well, intimate.
The Brewer’s Backyard — a beer series that takes over Evergreen Brick Works (550 Bayview Ave.) — is back Sunday the 12th with a special edition Beer Jam. It’s a celebration of fruit beers: from raspberry ales to blueberry wheat varieties and all in between. Babi & Co. will be on hand to serve up some delish Indonesian street food and Fidel Gastro will be slappin’ up his sammies.
Just Opened: Penguin
Wakestock Wakestock, the world’s largest Wakeboard, Action Sports, and Music Festival is on this weekend (the 10th through 12th). Here’s the catch: It’s in Collingwood. (Millenium Park, Collingwood Harbour.) It’s worth the trek. From extreme wakeboarding to a plethora of bands to the high energy skatepark, this is one fest you won’t want to miss.
Now it’s the gents’ turn. Perennial favourite menswear brand Penguin has opened its first Toronto store at 700 Queen St. W. Penguin first became a favourite thanks to its golf shirts, but over the years has expanded its line to full collections with everything from outerwear to footwear, suits to denim and so much more.

During the six-week program students learn correct international table manners, table setting, correct and appropriate conversation and how to position this knowledge to their strict advantage. This school is so tough it has 45 exams during the six weeks in order to graduate with a diploma. Remember, many business deals occur in places other than a boardroom, and this is where the
Institut Villa Pierrefeu has a distinct advantage as the oldest finishing school. So who is the typical student? Well, interestingly enough, women attend the school from North America, the Middle East and Asia, making it truly a global program. Everyone from the middle class, all the way up the social ladder to royal family members make up today’s typical classroom.

A finishing school in 2012? Charles The butler

Concluding my ocean crossing last week, I had the pleasure and honour of visiting a business colleague Madame Viviane Neri in Montreux,
Switzerland. Now Madame Neri owns one of the world’s most famous and well-respected ladies finishing schools. While we were touring the school, I asked Madame Neri what I perceived as an innocent but most relevant question on all of our minds. Why do women need to go to a ladies finishing school in the year 2012? Well foolish me for asking the question, because I certainly got a bit of a well-deserved
earful. We ignorantly think of ladies finishing schools as something antiquated, where ladies are taught how to dress and be a “perfect hostess” in a world where the man works and the lady stays home and lives and breathes to make her home the best. But finishing school in 2012 has nothing to do with ladies who lunch. It is focused on training women to become professionals at international business. It may seem silly
to some, but understanding cross-cultural communication and being able to use these to your advantage in business gives you a distinctive advantage. A woman like Queen Elizabeth II, for example, conducts international public relations, events and ceremonies on behalf of the government, but in her case she was taught these skills at home. Today, the modern woman goes to this type of school to

Britain’s Andy Murray pulls out of Rogers Cup Tennis. Murray the latest star to sit out tournament, joining Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer
Quoted
It wasn’t an ideal way for Canadian favourite Milos Raonic to reach the quarter-finals of the Rogers Cup tennis tournament. The 21-year-old from nearby Thornhill, Ont., advanced Thursday when recent Olympic champion Andy Murray pulled out because of a knee injury, depleting the rain-delayed tournament of yet another elite competitor. Murray hurt his left knee on Wednesday during his opening straight set victory against Italy’s Flavio Cipolla. The win came just three days after Murray battled Roger Federer
“Obviously it’s something that I was really looking forward to. It’s an unpleasant thing but at the same time it’s a good thing — it’s my first quarter-final in a Masters and to be at home is pretty special.” Milos Raonic

for gold on the grass courts of Wimbledon. The quick adjustment to hard courts at Rexall Centre
proved too much for Murray, who was set to meet Raonic in third-round play Thursday evening.
For Raonic — the tournament’s 16th seed and the only Canadian left in the singles draw — it means a spot in the quarter-finals for the first time in his career at a Masters tournament. He eased by Serbia’s Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-4 on Tuesday to book a meeting with Murray. THE CANADIAN PRESS
MARQUEE MATCHUP NOT UP TO HYPE Argos-Lions game not the elite matchup promoters would have you believe; former all-star placekicker turns up at Roughrider camp; and the Bombers first-quarter shortcomings in line with headache season CFL EXTRA POINTS
Dan Toth toronto@metronews.ca
Toronto Argos: The faithful CFL promoters at TSN were pumping the ArgosLions game last week as a “battle of the league’s top teams” but that’s just not the case. The Argos, now 3-3, could just as easily be 1-5 (or winless?) entering their bye week. Even with Ricky Ray running the offence the team has sometimes struggled moving the ball, including three interceptions last week. Some games it seems Ray has neither the receiving corps he requires, nor the offensive line to provide him with time for plays to develop. B.C. Lions: The Lions con-
tinue adding to the argument that they possess the CFL’s best defence. Last week’s defensive shutout of the Toronto Argos, with flashy performances from newcomers Byron Parker and Lin-J Shell, just re-enforced their status as the CFL’s nastiest D. B.C. forced four turnovers and didn’t allow a touchdown for the second straight game. Edmonton Eskimos: Eskimos all-star slotback Fred Stamps hasn’t enjoyed a great start to the 2012 season, but he’s slowly inching his way up the team’s all-time leading receiver’s list. With four grabs for 91 yards last week, Stamps eclipsed the 5,000 career yard mark and could join the Esks elite top-10 group with 51 yards Friday night against Saskatchewan. Calgary Stampeders:
Stampeders head coach John Hufnagel must appreciate having a little extra time to devise a game plan. The Stamps entered Thursday night’s game in Hamilton sporting a 5-0 record when returning from the bye week. Saskatchewan Roughriders: We posed the question a couple of weeks ago about the future of former all-star placekicker Sandro DeAngelis, who had seemingly been booted from the collective conscience of CFL teams. His appearance this week in Roughriders camp reinforces the notion that teams are willing to provide second and third chances for players of his calibre. The former Most Outstanding Canadian of the 2008 Grey Cup has bounced from Calgary to Hamilton and

Burris is enjoying in Hamilton, but the emergence of sensational running back Chevon Walker has aided Burris’s success in Steeltown. Opposing defences are forced to respect the Tabbies run game, allowing Burris to unload for 15 TD passes through just five games heading into Thursday night’s clash with Calgary. Montreal Alouettes: It’s hard not to focus on aging QB Anthony Calvillo when assessing the merits of the Alouettes, but the play of running back Brandon Whitaker is also worth noting. Whitaker won his second CFL offensive player of the week award with a season-high 115 yards on 18 carries in a win over Winnipeg. You could argue he is the league’s most talented and versatile back.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers: It’s been well documented that the hapless Bombers are faced with endless headaches this season, from a new stadium that wasn’t completed on time, to another maddening injury to star QB Buck Pierce. But worst of all is an inability to get ready for the start of games, and that has to rest with head coach Paul LaPolice.

Canadians cap off amazing turnaround against France Women’s soccer. Team captures Olympic bronze one year after crashing out of the World Cup John Herdman has a picture of Christine Sinclair in his home office in Vancouver from last summer’s World Cup. Canada’s captain has her head in her hands, her face twisted in anger and despair. When Herdman took over as coach of the Canadian women’s soccer team last fall, he promised his players he would use that photo as his motivation. “I’ll never see a player of that quality in that state after a tournament,” Herdman says he told them. “It’s great to see Christine smiling, you know?” The Canadians will be smiling for a long time to come after capturing a bronze medal with a 1-0 win over France at the London Summer Games on Thursday — the first time a Canadian soccer team has ever climbed an Olympic podium, and a remarkable turnaround for a squad that only a year ago was in tatters after its disastrous World Cup performance. “Christine had the quote that’s been inspiring us all: ‘You can’t be great until you’ve achieved great things. Getting the medal today was that great thing,” Herdman said. Diana Matheson scored in the 92nd minute to provide a stunning ending to a game
that saw the French dominate a weary Canadian side. France outshot Canada 25-4, and 4-1 on target, banging shots off the crossbar and post and forcing ‘keeper Erin McLeod to make some spectacular saves. Just when the game appeared headed for extra time — which would have been bad news for the gassed Canadians — the 28-year-old Matheson pounced on Canada’s lone scoring chance, running onto a deflection off a French defender from a Sophie Schmidt shot, firing a low hard ball past goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi. Rhian Wilkinson tossed the Oakville, Ont., native — all fivefeet of her — over her shoulder in celebration. “I have no idea what happened. I can’t remember it,” Matheson said. “I think the ball came
down the left and I was in the right place at the right time. The ball was right there, the net was basically open, it definitely was in slow motion.” The bronze marks the country’s first Summer Games medal in a traditional team sport since a silver in men’s

She wrestled for gold in her Olympic debut at the 2004 Games in Athens and was devastated when she came up short. While Verbeek settled for second place again in London, rarely has a silver medallist seemed so happy after a loss. “I promised myself that leading in to this Olympics,
that I’m going to give my everything and the result will take care of itself,” Verbeek said. “You have to embrace that.” She seemed at peace as she walked to the mat for Thursday’s final against Olympic champion Saori Yoshida, who has simply dominated the 55-kilogram division over the last decade. Verbeek looked around the packed ExCeL London North Arena 2 venue as the crowd buzzed with excitement. This would be her final Olympic bout and win or lose, she was going to take in the moment. Yoshida had the backing of the pro-Japanese crowd and there was a roar when

It was Canada’s second women’s freestyle wrestling medal of the Games after B.C.’s Carol Huynh won bronze in the 48-kilo division on Wednesday. Verbeek has yet to beat Yoshida in nine career meet-
ings. The 29-year-old Japanese star has won the world title at 55 kilos nine of the last 10 years. Canadian coach Marty Calder said they were prepared for the challenge and had no plans to surrender. “I didn’t think the Giants were going to win the Super Bowl this year either and neither did I think the L.A.

He dominated his favourite event almost from the starting gun and had enough of a lead to slow down at the line, bring
mouth and signal a “ssssshhh” that was broadcast around the globe. It should certainly silence the critics who claimed he was out of form ahead of the Olympics after losses to Blake at the Jamaican trials. “That was for all the people that doubted me,” Bolt said. “I was just telling them, ‘You can stop talking now because I am a legend.’” But he didn’t stand a chance of hushing the 80,000-capacity crowd at the Olympic Stadium, which went wild as Bolt delivered on his promise of winning when it counts most.

Just like Sunday’s victory in the 100, his junior training partner Yohan Blake stayed closest, and Warren Weir made it a full Jamaican medal sweep before Wallace Spearmon of the United States crossed in fourth place. Bolt kissed the track twice before striking his trademark “To the World” pose, pointing both his index fingers upward to show what he had achieved.

Officials stand by decision to DQ Canadian rider The head of equestrian’s world governing body is defending the decision to disqualify a Canadian rider’s horse at the London Olympics. Tiffany Foster’s horse Victor was found to have hypersensitivity in his left front
leg due to a small scratch shortly before Sunday’s team competition. While Canadian officials have argued Victor was fit to compete, FEI secretary general Ingmar De Vos said he believes disqualification was the right decision. “Disqualification of an athlete will always spark speculation, but in the case of Tiffany Foster’s horse Victor the protocol established very clearly that this was an obvious case of hyper-
sensitivity,” De Vos said in a statement Thursday. “This was a unanimous decision, supported by four highly qualified veterinarians who specialize in testing for hypersensitivity using a system that has been monitoring FEI competitions since 2005.” Canada’s appeal of the decision was denied and a devastated Foster was knocked out of the London Games, enraging her teammates.

Mark de Jonge savours Olympic trip after injury Kayaker. Broke middle finger just three weeks ahead of Canadian Olympic trials at Lake Lanier, Ga. Not many of us exercise with an 80-lb dumbbell. Even fewer drop one on their finger and still make it to the Olympics. Perhaps only Mark de Jonge can lay claim to both. Restored to health, the muscular 28-year-old from Halifax opens his Olympic
campaign on Friday in the K-1 200-metre heats. His Olympic dream seemed over in mid-April when he broke the middle finger of his left hand. He was doing a dumbbell bench press on one side when he lost his balance. “It was kind of a freak accident,” he said. “I’ve done (that exercise) so many times before.” He put his hand down on the ground for balance, having to throw the weight away to do so. Unfortunately it did not go as far as he had
Quoted
“It made me wake up every day thinking ‘OK, I need to do everything that I can to get faster today.’ And that’s kind of stayed with me on the water now too.” Canadian kayaker, Mark de Jonge
planned. One side of the dumbbell hit the ground. The other smashed his hand.
The good news was that it was a small break and the bone wasn’t displaced. But at the time — the accident during a training camp in Indian Harbour Beach, Fla. — he feared missing out on London. Given he had left the sport after not making the Beijing team, that possibility was especially painful. “There was a whole lot of thoughts happening at one time, I couldn’t really pick one but that was definitely one of them,” he said. “I’m just really glad that it all worked out.” The canadian Press

Aries
March 21 - April 20 Today, you will be even more daring and adventurous than you usually are. Trust that fate is on your side (it is) and that if you take the occasional calculated risk, it is more likely than not to pay off.
Taurus
April 21 - May 21 Try not to make life too complicated, especially on the home front where loved ones will happily go along with your plans so long as they feel they are a part of them. If they’re not, why not?
Gemini
May 22 - June 21 You should find it easier to be more outgoing and expressive now that both the Sun and Mercury, your ruler, are moving in your favour. Your social life is about to get even busier and you will profit from new friendships.
Cancer
June 22 - July 23 Life has been quite exhausting of late and you could do with a rest. So take one. It does not matter that other people think you should be running here, there and everywhere. Tell them to get lost.
Leo
July 24 - Aug. 23 Your mind is now clear enough to see that whatever successes you have in the future will come from the decisions and the efforts you make today, tomorrow and over the next few weeks. So get moving.
Virgo
Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You may be eager to push ahead with certain ideas but the planets urge you to slow down a bit. You cannot possibly do all the things you would like to do, so be selective. Difficult choices are called for.
Libra
Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 With the Sun moving through the area of your chart that governs friendships, you will see how necessary it is to forge alliances with like-minded people. Together you can do something special.
Scorpio
Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Certain people are taking you for granted and it’s got to stop. That applies especially to your work and career where it seems you are not getting the recognition you deserve. Do something to get yourself noticed today.
Sagittarius
Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 The Sun’s move through one of the more outspoken areas of your chart means you’ll let everyone know what you think about what’s going on in the world. Some will be offended but all will admire your willingness to speak out.
Capricorn
Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 The Sun in Leo at this time of year helps you to look inside yourself and focus on issues you usually prefer to ignore. Don’t be afraid to face your demons — chances are they don’t really exist.
