Casino magnate meets Ford Private chat. Ford’s itinerary lists two previous meetings with other casino execs In a sign of casino companies’ eagerness to build in Toronto, Mayor Rob Ford got a visit at city hall from Sheldon Adelson, controversial owner of the Las Vegas Sands empire and one of the world’s richest men. Adelson, 79, arrived at Ford’s office Thursday afternoon with his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, and two aides for the private, unpublicized 45-minute meeting that he had requested. Ford’s office declined to give details but Adelson is registered to lobby city officials on his interest in building a casino resort in Toronto. Sands, along with MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and others, signalled interest after the Ontario government said it will build one new casino in the GTA. After the meeting, the billionaire making headlines as a super donor to Republican election efforts sounded cautious about a Toronto casino. “There’s lots of ifs,” Adelson said before climbing into a stretch limousine in city hall’s underground parking lot. The province has said it won’t force the casino on an unwilling municipality, setting up what is expected to be a ferocious Toronto City Council debate this fall on whether to give the province, and casino suitors, the green light.

“The mayor has said he’d always be open-minded to casinos, but it had to be a good deal for taxpayers and in the best interest of the city,” Ford press secretary George Christopoulos said after the Adelson meeting. Christopoulos did not respond to a query as to whether Coun. Doug Ford, the mayor’s brother, who disappeared from a budget committee meeting around the time of the visit, attended the meeting. The mayor’s shaky hold on council means that much rides on a staff report that will look at the pros and cons of a casino and potential locations. torstar news service Money and politics

2013 budget

Police Chief Bill Blair’s preliminary budget proposal for 2013 includes hiring about 200 new officers, police officials said Thursday. The proposal would end a two-year hiring freeze imposed under Mayor Rob Ford. It indicates that, as widely expected, Blair will not quietly submit to the city’s demands for austerity. The city’s top civil servant, Joe Pennachetti, has asked for a 2013 police budget with no increase over the 2012 budget. Ford’s budget chief, Coun. Mike Del Grande, made a presentation to the police board last Wednesday in which he questioned whether the city has more officers than it needs. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

OSPCA conducts initial inspection of Marineland Allegations of neglect. Animal welfare group withholds findings on beleaguered theme park until investigation is complete

Is higher education overrated? Scan the code to watch one man’s hilarious musical take on why every university major is terrible.

Animal protection officials conducted an inspection of Marineland on Thursday morning after a Torstar News Service investigation last week reported animal suffering and neglect at the Niagara Falls theme park. “We have finished our in-

itial inspection, however our investigation is not complete, therefore to protect the integrity of this investigation, we are not able to comment further at this time,” wrote Alison Cross, OSPCA senior manager of marketing and communications, in an email to Torstar News Service. OSPCA inspectors, as well as members of the Niagara Falls Humane Society and the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums, were involved in the probe. Outside marine mammal experts also reportedly joined the inspection. The Torstar News Service investigation included ac-

counts from former Marineland employees who said staff shortages and poor water quality had caused animal

suffering, including eye and skin problems, as well as the death of a baby beluga that was attacked by other animals. The series sparked public outrage and prompted some 400 people to protest outside the facility on Saturday. More protests are planned for this weekend. The OSPCA announced the inspection last week. “We’ve got to do what’s best for the animals’ welfare,” chief licensing inspector Connie Mallory said last Thursday. “As soon as the concerns came forward, we started to move the wheels” to address them, she said.

Corroded pole fell after tap: Woman A west-end woman says she is lucky to be alive after a close call with a falling light post. According to Gina Ahuja, 33, her six-year-old daughter Jaeda tapped the post while playing outside a Toronto Community Housing highrise near Dundas Street West and Islington Avenue Tuesday evening. The three-metre metal post came crashing down, bumping Ahuja’s shoulder. “I’m very lucky. It could have been worse for me,” said Ahuja. “I could have been killed.” TCH was alerted to the situation by Toronto Hydro on Wednesday evening after a reporter contacted the electricity authority wondering who owned the pole. The housing authority removed it and had an electrician cap its base on Thursday morning, said spokesperson Sara Goldvine. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Singer mines L.A. life for new single Tara Macri. Mississauga-born singer-songwriter says you don’t have to be a ‘10’ to make it tarin elbert

tarin.elbert@metronews.ca

You don’t tell the feisty Tara Macri she isn’t a “10.” She may just hit back at you, with a song. As the Mississauga-born singer-songwriter and actor explained during a visit to the Metro office, being told she wasn’t a “10” was the undying muse for her spirited first single, Strawberry Moon. “Although I travel a lot for work, my home base is in L.A. now. Having the challenges in the business in L.A. and overcoming the challenges is what Strawberry Moon is all about,” said Macri. “One of the lyrics in the song is: ‘I am not what you call a 10.’ I have had people in L.A. tell me: ‘We can’t get you in the room (for an audition) because you are not a 10.’ That was something you remember.” What also emerged while Macri was fleshing out the Quoted

Mississauga-born singer-songwriter and actor Tara Macri strikes a pose during a visit to the Metro office. Her first single Strawberry Moon has been released; the album is due in early 2013. david van dyke/metro

“I really hope that my music inspires — it’s the No. 1 reason why I do it.” Singer-songwriter and actor Tara Macri

lyrics was that, no matter how many times you get knocked off your feet, hope reigns supreme. “Strawberry Moon is also about not having any regrets and just going for it. No matter what has happened or what has knocked you down, you continue to move forward,” said Macri. The tracks for Macri’s new album — she also plays guitar and piano on it — are in the bank and it’s expected to drop early in 2013. Although record labels approached her, she decided to stay the independent route. It was during rehearsals for the album that she decided to record a cover of Justin Bieber’s massive hit single, As Long As You Love Me (Macri’s version went up on YouTube Monday). “I am a fan of Justin Bieber, and it’s a great song, so I decided to strip it down and see what it would sound like with just acoustic guitars,” she said. Despite Macri’s successful career in live theatre and film — she got her first break at 17 in a Stratford production of West Side Story — music has always been her first love. “Before I could actually talk, I was running around singing,” she laughs. “I started writing songs when I was 10, and I was always bugging my parents about wanting to sing professionally.” She credits Toronto-based rockabilly legend Ronnie Hawkins with helping to put her family at ease with her dream. “My father was a drummer

back in the day and the only person he knew in the business was Ronnie Hawkins. He talked to Ronnie and said: ‘I don’t know what to do with her, she wants to write songs and sing.’ So Ronnie gave us some great advice: Go get her a manager.” Up next for Macri are club dates with a seasoned group of musicians, to add to her performances in New York City, and more are planned for L.A. There will also be a Toronto date sometime in the next few weeks, she adds secretively. Expect an announcement shortly. You can listen to Tara Macri’s Strawberry Moon at metronews.ca

OPP chief defends forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of traumatized officers Mental health. Ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office began investigation into provincial police in 2011 Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Chris Lewis has known â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark daysâ&#x20AC;? in his career as a police officer. He never lapsed into a prolonged depression and his life didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unravel the way it did for many others who were exposed to violence on the job. But he empathizes with any police officer who is facing post-traumatic stress disorder. In that vein, he told Torstar News Service heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to reading the report by Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin into how the OPP deals with active and retired officers who have suffered mental distress on the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always open to suggestions on how we can better look after our people,â&#x20AC;?

Back in the 1970s and the 1980s, the OPP did little or nothing to deal with stress injuries brought on by traumatic events, Lewis admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not who we are now,â&#x20AC;? he said. Former Det. Insp. Bruce Kruger launched a complaint with the ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and encouraged 29 other OPP officers to join him. Kruger, who says he suffered trauma from incidents going back to 1977, has complained that the OPP doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly recognize PTSD and makes it hard for officers to admit they need help in a culture that looks at mental illness as a weakness. torstar news service

Both were taken to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Neither has been officially identified.

Drought deepens in Midwest Report. Farmers tally losses as states reliant on agriculture receive extreme or exceptional drought classifications On the day a new report suggested the nation’s worst dry spell in at least a generation is deepening in America’s breadbasket, Nebraska farmer Doug Nelson said Thursday he expects to harvest anywhere from nothing to 43 bushels per acre on his unirrigated acreage — a far cry from the 120 to 140 bushels he’d typically get. On the irrigated land, he could see 150 to 200 bushels an acre; in previous years, Nelson would see a minimum of 180 bushels. “But we’ll have the com38 years

bines going here in probably another month, and then we’ll know for sure,” said the 61-year-old Nelson, who farms some 5,000 acres near Wayne. The U.S. Drought Monitor’s weekly map showed that, as of Tuesday, just over two-thirds of Iowa, the nation’s biggest corn producer, was in extreme or exceptional drought — the worst two classifications. That’s up more than 5 percentage points, to 67.5 per cent, from the previous week. Nearly all of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois are in extreme or exceptional drought, with Illinois showing the most dramatic climb, spiking 17 percentage points in one week to 96.72 per cent, according to the map. On Wednesday, the USDA added 33 counties from eight drought-stricken states to its list of natural disaster areas, bringing that tally to 1,821 counties in 35 states over the past six weeks. That’s more than half of all U.S. counties. Plains farmers have begun harvesting what corn managed to survive, although many growers cut their fields weeks ago, chalking the year up as a loss. the associated press

Dominican Republic, Haiti brace for Isaac Tropical Storm Isaac took aim at the Dominican Republic and Haiti Thursday and it was expected to gain strength after drenching tiny islands in its whirl over the eastern entrance to the Caribbean. There was a chance it could dump rain on next week’s Republican convention in Florida. No major damage was reported, but authorities in Puerto Rico said an elderly woman

died in an accident while preparing for the storm. U.S. forecasters said Isaac was likely to approach Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti, as a hurricane late Thursday or early Friday after intensifying over the warm waters of the Caribbean. It was predicted to move on to Cuba as a tropical storm, then Monday perhaps head to Florida, where the Re-

publicans will be gathering to nominate Mitt Romney for the presidency. At the bar of the Fort Young Hotel in Dominica’s coastal capital of Roseau, a few tourists and locals drank cold beer and chatted over the sound of white-crested waves outside. “The skies were very black and cloudy most of the day, but it’s been pretty quiet so far. Some rain, very little wind,”

bartender Raymond Reynolds said Wednesday at the 71-room hotel on the jagged, densely forested island. “We’ve been through this before.” As a precaution, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit urged people to stay home from work. Authorities banned boats from entering its waters and warned of heavy rains from Thursday through Saturday. the associated press

U.S. jurisdiction

As the storm approached, military authorities at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, cancelled several days of pretrial hearings in the case of five prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

• They also planned to evacuate about 200 people, including legal teams and relatives of Sept. 11 victims. • The U.S. Coast Guard closed all ports in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to incoming commercial ships.

Congressman case

Mass arrest

Possible threat investigated

Meth ring foiled by authorities

Police are investigating a reported threat against the U.S. congressman criticized for saying that women’s bodies have ways of preventing pregnancies in cases of “legimate rape.” A spokeswoman, Lt. Kimberly Schneider, says there is “an active, open investigation” into a reported threat against Rep. Todd Akin.

More than two dozen people have been indicted in California for their roles in a crossborder drug ring that sent methamphetamine to the United States from Mexico. Federal authorities say 16 of 27 people were arrested Thursday as part of a 16-month investigation. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Desperate measure?

Break out

Leader promises inmate deaths

26 teens flee juvenile facility Authorities in Guyana say more than two dozen teenagers escaped a staterun juvenile facility in a rural region of the South American country. Police said Thursday that they have captured eight of the 26 teenagers who escaped from the facility that holds children convicted of misdemeanours or abandoned by parents.

Gambia’s president says he has vowed to start executing by midSeptember all of the country’s inmates who had been given the death penalty as part of efforts to curb the rising crime rate. President Yahya Jammeh did not say how many would be executed, but said the death sentences must be carried out as people continue to commit heinous crimes.

Mars rover actually roves for first time

Cosmo cam

You too can watch rover on the run Viewers can now relive the drama of the Curiosity rover’s landing on Mars with a new video detailing the final moments of touchdown. Curiosity is the first spacecraft to record a landing on another planet. The U.S. space agency Thursday posted the video on its website, embedded with audio from mission control. It starts with the heat shield falling away. The ground grows larger in view as Curiosity is lowered by cables into an ancient Martian crater. “Touchdown confirmed” is heard, followed by cheers. The rover arrived on Aug. 5 to begin a twoyear mission to examine whether Mars’s environment was hospitable for microbial life.

Mission possible. Vehicle now poised to study whether Mars environment could support life Now that Curiosity passed its driving test on Mars, the sixwheel NASA rover can set its sights on longer treks. The first test drive around the pebbly Martian crater where it landed was just that — a test drive. The rover edged forward about 15 feet, rotated to a right angle and reversed a short distance, leaving tracks in the rusttinged soil. Mission managers were elated that Wednesday’s maiden trek of the $2.5-billion mission was glitch-free. “It couldn’t be more important,” said project manager Peter Theisinger. “We built a rover. So unless the rover roves, we really haven’t accomplished anything.... It’s a big moment.” The short spin came a day after Curiosity successfully

Curiosity rover’s wheel tracks on the surface of Mars are seen in an image sent from one of the rover’s cameras. NASA/The Associated Press

wiggled its wheels to test its steering capabilities. Curiosity landed in Gale Crater near the Martian equator Aug. 5 to explore whether the environment once supported microbial life. The touchdown site has been named Bradbury Landing in honour of the late The Martian Chronicles author Ray Bradbury, who would

have turned 92 on Wednesday. The rover’s ultimate destination is Mount Sharp, a towering mountain that looms from the ancient crater floor. Signs of past water have been spotted at the base, providing a starting point to hunt for the chemical building blocks of life.

Jordan pulled three squad members accused of sexual assault in Northern Ireland out of the 2012 London Paralympics on Thursday, sports officials in Amman said. The Jordanian Paralympic Committee said the three men — two Paralympic power-lifters and a trainer — will be flown home later on Thursday but that they will be returned to court in Northern Ireland on Oct. 18 for their hearing. The three were arrested on Monday northwest of Belfast where Jordan’s squad is one of several national teams training before the Paralympics, which begin Aug. 29. The men were released on bail Wednesday. The committee said in a written statement to The

Accusations • Police said a 14-year-old

girl claimed that she posed for photographs with Omar Sami Qaradhi, 31, before he groped her between the legs in the town centre of Antrim on Aug. 18.

• That same day, a 16-year-

old girl said she and a friend were walking near the sports centre when the men blocked their path. Police allege that one of the men pushed the girl towards Qaradhi, who wrapped his arm around her waist and tightened his grip before she ran away.

Associated Press that it decided to pull the three out of the games because it “would be inappropriate for the accused athletes to compete” in the international tournament. “We have zero tolerance

on any misconduct and will continue to work closely with the Northern Ireland authorities to assist in their investigation,” said the statement. The wording reflected the embarrassment of the government, which is seeking to place Jordan on the world’s sports map. “However, our focus is now preparing the remaining members of the team for competition and we look forward to taking part in what promises to be a truly magnificent sporting event,” it added. Omar Sami Qaradhi is facing three charges of sexual assault, two of which are against a child. He also is charged with one count of voyeurism after allegedly entering a women’s changing room at the local sports centre. The two other men were identified as Motaz Al Junaidi, 45, and trainer Faisal Hammash, 35, who also appeared at Coleraine Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Syria

Regime fights rebels for control of Damascus Syrian troops backed by tanks and helicopters broke into a Damascus suburb on Thursday following two days of shelling and intense clashes as part of a widening offensive by President Bashar Assad’s forces to seize control of parts of the capital and surrounding areas from rebel fighters, activists said. At least 15 people were killed in the offensive on Daraya, only a few kilometres southwest of Damascus. Across the country, at least 100 people died in shelling and clashes, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees. The bloodshed coincided with the departure from the Syrian capital of the last of the UN military observers after their mission failed. Activist groups report the deaths of between 100 and 250 people on a daily basis, but it is virtually impossible to verify these figures. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Refuge from the chaos A Syrian girl, who fled her home with her family due to fighting between the Syrian army and the rebels, sleeps by her family’s belongings, while she and others take refuge at the Bab Al-Salameh border crossing, in hopes of entering one of the refugee camps in Turkey, Thursday.

Hot air balloon crash kills four in Slovenia Caught in a storm. Similar balloons are used in Kenya, South Africa and Australia The hot air balloon that crashed in Slovenia was one of the largest of its kind in the world. Tourists who are willing to pay more than $100 each to be crammed aboard the capsules of such balloons often enjoy sightseeing adventures over the Slovenian Alps and its lakes. But the giant balloons aren’t always easy to operate. On Thursday, one was swept up in a storm and crashed in a fireball outside Slovenia’s capital, killing four of its 32 riders and injuring the rest. The hot air balloon is the oldest successful flight technology that carries passengers, also known as balloon aircraft. A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that contains heated air. Suspended beneath it is a gondola, or in some high-altitude balloons, a capsule. A source of heat for the air in the balloon in most cases is an open flame blower. Thursday’s flight offered a ride from near the capital, Ljubljana, and over the Alpine scenery toward Bled, the most popular tourist resort in Slovenia.

a variety of reasons, but human error and the decision to fly during weather warnings are frequently cited as a primary cause. There were rare cases where an accident was attributed to failure of the balloon hardware.

• On Aug. 13, 1989, two hot

air balloons collided near Alice Springs, Australia, causing one to crash to the ground, killing 13 people. It is the deadliest hot air ballooning accident in the history of aviation.

• Slovenia has had two ma-

jor ballooning accidents in recent years. In 2002, one caught fire and nine people were injured. In 2006 four people were hurt when a balloon crashed.

Regulated industry. Aircraft must meet standards Smaller balloons are much easier to handle and manoeuvre. Those carrying up to 32 people usually climb vertically up to 2,000 metres and don’t move sideways or glide with the wind. According to international safety regulations, balloon pilots are certified just like airplane pilots and must have operational certificates. Like planes, balloons must meet safety standards and are inspected on a regular basis. In addition, pilots must inform passengers about safety guidelines during flights prior to liftoff. The basket must be robust enough to ensure adequate protection to all occupants even during rough landings. The burner unit must be designed and installed in such a way to avoid a fire hazard.

New project launched Order of Canada. Black capable to find ill-fated ships of defending his membership Nunavut. Inuit oral tradition has been key for previous searches seeking the lost Franklin expedition The search for the lost ships of the ill-fated Franklin expedition continues. A new research project was announced Thursday by the prime minister in Nunavut, where the ships are believed to have sunk. “Why do we search for the Franklin? The wreckage of the Franklin expedition is a national historic site designated some time ago — it is the only undiscovered national historic site, we feel an obligation to discover it,” Stephen Harper said. Sir John Franklin set out from England in 1845 to find the Northwest Passage with two ships, the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. But they ended up trapped in ice, and Franklin, along with other crew members, died in 1847. The next year, the surviving crew set out on foot but were never seen alive again. All this is known thanks to a message left in a cairn on

Details

• The federal government is contributing $275,000 to the new expedition, with additional costs being picked up by private partners. • It’s expected to last between four and six weeks.

King William Island, and while the message suggested where the two ships might have been when they were abandoned, previous attempts to find the wrecks have been unsuccessful. In 2010, a search team did find the remains of the HMS Investigator, sent in 1850 to find Franklin. The unknown final resting place of the ships was declared a national historic site in 1992, though the ships will remain the property of the United Kingdom. The search areas will include both the O’Reilly Island area, west of the Adelaide Peninsula and further north to Victoria Strait and Alexandra Strait. the canadian press

in writing, federal lawyers say Conrad Black has a way with words, government lawyers say, and the Order of Canada advisory council is well aware of that — he gave them a copy of his latest book. Federal lawyers are set to argue in court Friday that Black should have no trouble making written arguments to the council deciding the status of his Order of Canada membership, documents show. Black, 67, is asking Federal Court to force the advisory council to allow him an oral hearing as it decides whether to recommend the Governor General revoke Black’s prestigious membership, bestowed upon him in 1990.

His lawyers are arguing that his case is too complex to be handled in writing — the only medium Order of Canada rules allow. The former media magnate went to Federal Court after his request to make arguments in person was denied. But documents filed in advance of Friday’s hearing show federal lawyers are relying on Black’s own prowess with prose to argue that he doesn’t need oral arguments to make his voice heard. The council can recommend members of the order be stripped of their status, but the final decision rests with the Governor General. the canadian press

Alberta town escalates battle against rats Officials in Medicine Hat, Alta., think it could take two years to clear the city of rats. The municipality has announced it’s stepping up its war on the rodents with a new strategy called “Operation Haystack.” Ed Jollymore, the city’s waste manager, says baited hay bales will be scattered around Medicine Hat to attract and kill the vermin with a poison that won’t harm people or pets. Prior to the infestation, Alberta had been largely ratfree for 50 years. the canadian press

Cases of syphilis across Canada have risen dramatically over the last two decades, spiking to more than 1,750 cases in 2010 from 177 in 1993, the most recent statistics show. “People age 30 and older accounted for 73 per cent of all the reported cases in

Arctic

Officials fretted over war game The administrative wing of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office worried about the optics of hundreds of Canadian troops taking part in a major NATO-sponsored Arctic war game in northern Norway earlier this year. Conservatives have made rebuilding the military, more international involvement and a more muscular presence in the North key policy touchstones. But senior federal officials told the army last fall they weren’t sure the country should participate in Exercise Cold Response. It took the intervention of the assistant deputy minister of policy at National Defence to smooth the way for the army’s participation, reassuring senior government officials that were “no policy obstacles” that contradicted Government of Canada procedures. the canadian press

Judgment day: Breivik’s mental state will be focus of court ruling Norway massacre. On Friday, the confessed mass killer will learn his fate — but if he’s declared insane, he’ll appeal ‘on the spot’

appeals trial would likely be held early next year. Breivik, who claims he is a “militant nationalist,” said during the trial that being sent to an insane asylum would be the worst thing that could happen to him and accused Norwegian authorities of trying to cast him as sick to deflate his political views. His lawyers say Breivik is already at work writing sequels to the 1,500-page manifesto he released on the Internet before the attacks. Regardless of the sentence, Breivik will be taken back to Oslo’s Ila Prison, where he has been held in isolation for most of the time since his arrest. The prison has built a psychiatric ward just for Breivik in case he’s declared insane. But even if he is, he wouldn’t be placed in that unit if he immediately appeals the insanity ruling, said prison spokeswoman Ellen Bjercke.

Anders Behring Breivik’s defence lawyers say the confessed mass killer won’t appeal if he’s sentenced to prison but he will challenge any ruling that declares him insane. Breivik’s mental state will be the focus when the Oslo district court presents its judgment against Breivik on Friday for the bomb and gun attacks that killed 77 people and injured more than 200 in July last year. After deliberating for two months, a five-judge panel will decide whether to send the right-wing extremist to prison or a mental hospital. After speaking to Breivik on Thursday, defence lawyer Geir Lippestad said his client would only appeal if committed to psychiatric care. “He is very clear that if he is deemed insane, he will appeal, and appeal on the spot,” Lippestad said.

Defence lawyer Daniel King objected to the release of the records, calling the prosecution’s request a “fishing expedition.” Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 others in the July 20 shooting.

Prosecutors say the suspect in the Colorado theatre shooting made threats and was banned from the University of Colorado after failing a key exam six weeks before the rampage. They made the accusations about James Holmes in court Thursday as they tried to convince a judge to let them see records from the university, where he had been a graduate student. They also claim professors urged Holmes to

Lennon’s killer denied release by N.Y. parole board Mark David Chapman. Parole board said the crime was ‘heinous, unprovoked, violent, cold and calculated’ John Lennon’s killer was denied release from prison in his seventh appearance before a parole board, New York corrections officials said Thursday. Mark David Chapman, 57, was denied parole by a three-member board after a hearing Wednesday, the state Department of Corrections said. Chapman can try again for parole in two years. He shot Lennon in December 1980 outside the Manhattan apartment building where the former Beatle lived.

Chapman was sentenced in 1981 to 20 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. The musician, singer and songwriter was 40. “Despite your positive ef-

forts while incarcerated, your release at this time would greatly undermine respect for the law and tend to trivialize the tragic loss of life which you caused as a result of this heinous, unprovoked, violent, cold and calculated crime,” board member Sally Thompson wrote. The panel praised Chapman’s conduct and accomplishments but said “parole shall not be granted for good conduct and program completions alone.” The board noted there was significant opposition to his release. In 2010, Chapman recalled that he had considered shooting Johnny Carson or Elizabeth Taylor instead, and said he chose Lennon because he was more accessible. His motivation was instant notoriety. the associated press

StatsCan. Three children? Canadian families appear to be getting larger When Jody Nickerson got married six years ago, she and her husband knew they wanted to have children and agreed on a magic number. “We didn’t want just one,” says the Edmonton high school teacher, now a stay-athome mom with three little girls. “We just liked the threekid family ... it’s a good number.” Census figures from Statistics Canada released earlier this year show the number of Canadian children aged four and under jumped 11 per cent between 2006 and 2011. Although highest in the Prairies — particularly Alberta, with a 20 per cent spike — it marked the first time in 50 years that an increase was recorded in every province and territory. Statistics Canada attributed the bump to a growing number of women aged 20 to 34 — the preferred age range for child-rearing — as a result of the children of baby boomers having kids of their own. Still — what’s with all the trifectas? Nickerson and her hus-

band, Rhett, a business manager, both come from three-children families. His sister has three children. So do some of their friends. “But I don’t see it as being this crazy fad or trend that everybody’s having three kids,” says Nickerson. “I just see it in different places.” Nickerson is quick to note that most parents in her westend neighbourhood have the typical family of two children. But at the Royal Glenora Club, one of Edmonton’s most elite private sports and social clubs, most people she knows have three kids. Some, she says, even have four.

Politician hijacks miners’ memorial South Africa. Ministers accused of complicity in shootings last week that killed 34 striking miners and wounded 78 A fiery politician cast out of the ruling party Thursday hijacked the main memorial service for 34 striking miners killed by police, to accuse President Jacob Zuma’s government of complicity in the shootings. Angry government ministers walked out. Zuma did not attend any of the services. He called a news conference to announce a retired supreme court judge will head a judicial commission of inquiry to investigate “the facts and circumstances which gave rise to the use of force and whether this was reasonable and justifiable in the particular circumstances.” He announced a wide range of issues for the commission to investigate, including the role of Lon-

don-registered Lonmin PLC, which owns the platinum mine where the violence was sparked by union rivalry. The commission would look at Lonmin’s conduct and report “whether the company, by act or omission, created an environment which was conducive to the creation of tension, labour unrest, disunity among its employees or other harmful conduct,” Zuma said.

The sombre and grieving tone of the memorial service at the mine was shattered by Julius Malema, who was expelled in April for sowing disunity in the African National Congress. Malema was applauded when he said the government has not intervened in the mines “because our leaders are involved in these mines.” He said that President Zuma’s foundation and other ANC leaders have shares in the mines. “Our government has become a pig that is eating its children,” charged Malema. Malema’s outburst came after church leaders had urged people not to use the memorial service to score political points. About a dozen cabinet ministers left before they could address the crowd of more than 1,000 at the mine at Marikana, 70 kilometres northwest of Johannesburg. Zuma had decreed a week of national mourning to honour all victims of violence in South Africa, which has one of the world’s highest murder and rape rates. the associated press

Opinion poll skewed by ‘margin of terror,’ says Zimbabwe PM’s party

Inequality

Shootings spotlight growing anger Last week’s shootings were the worst display of state violence since apartheid ended in 1994 and have thrown the spotlight on growing anger at South Africa’s massive inequality, poverty and unemployment. The violence unfolded as some 3,000 rock-drill operators demanded a minimum wage of 12,500 rand ($1,560 US). The poorest ten per cent of the population shares 1.1 billion rand while the country’s richest 10 per cent has 381 billion, the Congress of South African Trade Unions said Thursday. In a statement it claimed Lonmin’s financial officer is paid 152 times as much as a rockdrill operator at the mine. It claimed the operators earn only 5,600 rand though researchers who work with miners say they make at least 10,000 rand. the associated press

Robert Mugabe, president of the Republic of Zimbabwe. chris McGrath/getty images

The Zimbabwe prime minister’s party says a new opinion poll reflecting a surge in support for President Robert Mugabe’s party was skewed by a “margin of terror” that saw nearly half those questioned refusing to disclose their political loyalties. Douglas Mwonzora, spokes-

man for Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s party, said Thursday that U.S.-based Freedom House poll is “unreliable” in a climate where voters face intimidation by Mugabe militants and loyalists dominating the police and military. In a 54-page report, Freedom House said support for

Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party rose to 31 per cent from 17 per cent in the past 18 months, but dropped for Tsvangirai’s party from 38 per cent to 20 per cent. It said 1,198 Zimbabweans were polled with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 per cent. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Four Changes that can Drop Car Insurance Rates Drivers should be aware of these changes that could lower their rates. Car insurance is a bill that everyone would like to see reduced, and fortunately there are a number of ways to accomplish that. A few simple changes can save you a lot of money on your car insurance bill. Changing your Deductible. The deductible can make a difference on car insurance premiums, but many people are afraid to carry a higher deductible because they don’t want to have to pay in case of an accident. The truth is

that carrying a higher deductible may save you a lot of money over time – more than enough to make up for having to pay it should such an accident occur. A New Car. If you go from a vehicle that tends to have higher insurance rates such as a luxury car, sports car, or large SUV, to a smaller or more economical vehicle that has a lower risk level for the insurance company, you could see those rates go down. There are even some cars that come with discounts, such as those that are considered to be highly fuel-efficient or hybrids, or cars with the latest in anti-theft technology. Shopping Around For a New Company. Changing to a new insurance company could be the change that brings your rates down the

most, as each insurance company charges different rates to insure the exact same person. But unless you take the time to shop around regularly, you will never know how much you could save. Tickets and Accidents Falling Off Your Record. If you’ve been paying for an at-fault accident or a ticket on your premiums, the day that it comes off will be a good day for your insurance premiums. Remember that while the charge will come off your driving record on the day it was officially recorded against you, it will likely come off your insurance bill on renewal. Remember that the very best way to keep your insurance premiums low is to shop around for better rates. Insurance quoting sites like

InsuranceHotline.com can help by comparing your insurance rate against over 30 car insurance companies to find you a lower rate available for your driving profile.

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.

Hippo stuck in reserve’s swimming pool Driven out of herd. Staff say young Harry is noticeably relaxed with no other hippos fighting it for dominance A hefty hippo chased away from his herd at a South African game reserve has found a refreshing place to relax: the lodge’s swimming pool. Now it’s stuck there. The young hippopotamus plopped into the pool on Tuesday at the Monate Conservation Lodge north of Johannesburg. The pool is big enough for the hippo to

swim but it’s eight feet deep with no steps and “there’s no way he can come out,” lodge manager Ruby Ferreira said Thursday. A game capture team will sedate the hippo and lift it out of the pool with a crane, said MuIsabel Wentzel of South Africa’s National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Much of the water has already been drained to make the extraction easier. A veterinarian will be present during operation hippo extraction on Friday. Wentzel said the four-yearold hippo’s mother gave birth recently, and more dominant males forced him from the herd. The staff has been feeding

the hippo. Ferreira said it’s been noticeably relaxed with no other hippos fighting it for dominance, though the water in the pool has been getting mucky with hippo poop. The pool will be entirely drained before the hippo is lifted out. Because the hippo was chased away by his herd, it will be moved to another animal sanctuary, Ferreira said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The new fraud: ‘E-mules’ play catch me if you can, and make crime pay Crime. Forget Leonardo DiCaprio’s cheque forger in the Hollywood movie. Today’s fraudsters are cunning entrepreneurs who are enlisting everyday citizens to launder money elisabeth braw

Metro World News

“In money laundering there’s a rule,” Ken Rijock says: “You’re only limited by your imagination.” Rijock, a Miami lawyer, knows what he’s talking about: He laundered $200 million in Colombian drug money and served a prison sentence for it, too. Now Rijock wants to warn others about the money laundering going on right under their noses. “The money launderers work very hard,” he says, “and now they don’t even have to get on a plane to go to a tax haven. Now we have the Internet, which is

“It’s next to impossible to catch money launderers.” Ken Rijock

making their job easy.” And the Internet has given rise to a new kind of mule: The e-mule. “E-mules are an emerging trend,” says Mauro Falesiedi, senior specialist on economic crimes at Europol, the European police agency. “We’ve had money mules crossing the border with cash for a long time, but now we also have e-mules, who are recruited to help transfer fraudulently obtained money.” Unlike the old-fashioned mule, e-mules don’t have to carry anything: They just lend criminals their name. “As an e-mule, you’re a lawabiding citizen who lets criminals borrow your bank account to transfer money,” Falesiedi says. “Obviously you get paid — often 10 per cent of the amount. The emules are often students or persons with no judicial background.”

Are they e-mules, too? Leonardo DiCaprio, shown with stewardesses in the film Catch Me If You Can, played a con artist who cashed $2.5 million in fraudulent cheques in the 1960s. The film was based on a true story, but modern-day fraud offers far more opportunities for crooks. dreamworks

Organized crime groups from Russian and Ukraine are among those setting up money-laundering schemes with the assistance of emules. According to the Financial Action Task Force, an intergovernmental organization, criminals are also using e-mules in casinos and in

Terrorism and money: Are you financing terrorists unknowingly? Like criminals, terrorists also launder money. As early as 1998, U.S. officials acknowledged that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden’s finances were shrouded behind so many front companies that it could take years to uncover them. A recent report by the intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force says terrorist groups traffic everything from drugs, cigarettes and diamonds to human beings. Some employ legitimate organizations as fronts. The groups

carry out humanitarian work but also channel donations to terrorists. As a result, donors wishing to help the victims of a natural disaster, for example, may unwittingly be funnelling money to terrorist groups. Terrorists, too, have discovered Internet payment systems. They process huge amounts of money and, because the transfers are happening on the Internet, no country has the authority to make arrests. elisabeth braw/metro world news

currency-exchange bureaus. But old-fashioned cash smuggling continues, too, as does money laundering through real-estate and shell companies. In theory, banks can easily spot an e-mule. “If you’re a student and usually have $400 in your bank account,

and all of a sudden you get $10,000 from a Nigerian account, that should normally raise a red flag and generate a financial disclosure to the competent domestic authorities,” Falesiedi says. But the reality is different. “It’s next to impossible to catch money launderers,”

says Rijock, who now helps police catch them. “The only way is if the police catch one criminal and he leads them to others.” Many banks do the bare minimum, he says. “They don’t train their staff to catch money launderers. The banks don’t want to be the policemen of the world.”

and again. They also use things like virtual gaming, where you can turn virtual money into real money. There’s no question that people unknowingly help them. In the world of money laundering there’s always duplicity involving unwitting participants.

Fine art and virtual gaming E-mules are a new moneylaundering trend. What other new techniques do money launderers use? They like to divert non-monetary items into monetary items and back again.

Why is it so hard to catch money launderers? Money laundering is a secondary crime. It’s always connected to prostitution, the drug trade or arms

Facebook rolls out improved iPhone app New version. No integration of Instagram yet, but latest update for smartphones and tablets focuses on being speedier On Thursday, Facebook addressed users who had gripes with its app for iPhones and iPads with the launch of a faster version. Rather than add a slew of new features, the company said it rebuilt the application from scratch to make it speedier and less clunky. In a recent demonstration at the company’s headquarters, the new iPhone app opened about twice as fast as the older version. Photos and comments also load faster. Users can now “like” comments on photos,

tally, to help speed it up. The mobile arena presents Facebook with its biggest challenge — and its biggest opportunity. At the end of June, Facebook had 543 million users who accessed it with a phone or tablet computer, up 67 per cent from 325 million a year earlier. But while Facebook ads are well-established on its website, the company only recently started experimenting with mobile advertisements. That’s been a concern for investors, who’ve sent Facebook’s stock down by nearly half since the company’s initial public offering three months ago. The iPad version of the new app now features Timeline, the latest version of the profile page that Facebook is rolling out to all of its users.

One question: Are we making strip billiards an olympic sport? It’s time for the Metro List, our weekly guide to what’s making Paul Sullivan waves around the water cooler. Metro Dirty Harry. Harry keeps the flame burning with a new sport that, for some reason, wasn’t included in the London Games: strip billiards. There’s the good Prince William and then there’s the bad Prince Harry. Hands up, who do you prefer? Dirty bedside read. In other naughty U.K. news, a hotel in the Lake District replaced the Good Book with the Very Bad Book — 50 Shades of Grey — in its bedside tables. The hotel manager was denounced from local pulpits, but refused to back down. “The Gideon Bible is full of references to sex and violence, although it’s written using more formal language, so James’ book is easier to read,” he said. That’s E.L. James, not King James. Chavril? AvChad? Chad Kroeger of Nickelback is engaged to Avril Lavigne of Sk8er Boi. Stands with the other great romances of the recent era: Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley; Nicholas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley. We can only assume Chad has yet to meet Lisa Marie Presley. Pussy Riot. OK, this is a family newspaper. Of course these brazen young women should get two years hard time for singing a song in church while wearing funny outfits. Their very name is an assault on the ears of innocents like Vladimir Putin. Speaking of assault. Some advice to Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin: Dr. Oz is the only guy on Earth who gets to talk about the female reproductive system on TV, and that’s only because he’s been blessed by Oprah. And never, ever use the words “legitimate” and “rape” in the same time zone, never mind next to each other in the same sentence. National park. Let’s change the subject. We have a new national park, our 44th. Up north somewhere, it’s called Nááts’ihch’oh National Park Reserve, causing the editors at Canadian Press Caps and Spelling to apply for stress leave. Environmentalists are complaining that it’s too small, only 4,840 square kilometres, which is about three times the size of Yoho but two-thirds the size of Banff. Just go to Yellowknife, then turn left, go another 680 kilometres and you’re there. Lots of grizzly bears, but no golf course. Yet. Speaking of up north somewhere. The Google Street View tricycle is tooling around Cambridge Bay, population 1,477, way up there in Nunavut, a mere 1,770 kilometres from the North Pole as the Snowy Owl flies. Google is now officially everywhere. The cult of Jack Layton. It’s been a year since the untimely death of the former NDP leader, but his legend grows, as vigils across the land mourn his loss and celebrate the memory of the man who failed to get elected prime minister four times in a row.

Light topography

Q&A with Parvianen

Meet the artist

Cooking up a lightstorm This stunning image captures a kitchen like no other, illuminated using a novel technique known as light topography. To achieve the sciencefiction effect, Finnish artist Janne Parvianen traces surfaces with LED lights and exposes the shots for 30 minutes. There is no Photoshop or image editing.

“Art is the key to your emotions.” Janne Parvianen, artist and teacher Despite the futuristic visuals, this old-fashioned message is how Parvianen describes his philosophy.

• What is most difficult about this technique? It is quite challenging to draw into three dimensional space, so it takes a lot of planning and training. It is usually through trial and error that I find the right positions and the figures for the final photo. • What emotions do the images inspire? I’m trying to put as much

soul in my photos as possible. My main interest has always been human emotions and trying to express them through art. I really like to use strong visual elements in my photos such as skeletons and people laying on the ground to create images that make you wonder what is really happening in them. A skeleton can be happy or sad, it doesn’t always have to be seen as a grim image.

RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN

Rush is the only thing premium in this film Fun ride. Joseph Gordon-Levitt-led thriller is full of style and action, but lacks any kind of substance

riveted by the action sequences in this film. Which definitely eclipsed the characters! I don’t know how I felt about Michael Shannon. He had a presence for sure, but he was also kind of cartoonish which stopped me from taking the movie seriously as a thriller.

Richard: Mark, Premium Rush is like a BMX race with a plotline. Bikes dart in and out of traffic, defy the laws of gravity and spin on one wheel, which is all cool, except that it overshadows the characters. Only Michael Shannon as the outof-control cop is memorable enough to rise above the bike stunts and skinned elbows.

RC: I don’t think it is meant to be taken seriously as a thriller. Any cop who would say, “I forgot to bring my bullets. I’ll meet you there,” to his cop buddies isn’t trying to be Detective Sergeant Joe Friday. He’s a wild, bug-eyed caricature of a man on the edge and the second most entertaining thing in the flick (next to the bikes). What did you think of Gordon-Levitt?

Mark: In the interests of full disclosure Richard, I cannot ride a bike. In fact, they scare me. So I was unusually

MB: Not an actors’ movie but he can clearly carry off a leading man role. What I really

liked about the movie was its style. The maps, time code, miniatures of Manhattan, and the fractured time narrative all kept me engaged with the limited storyline. Gordon-Levitt’s character is called Wiley, as in Wile. E. Coyote, and the movie does have a Roadrunner simplicity. I thought all the gimmicks and stylistic quirks opened it up nicely.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the most extreme bike courier in Manhattan in Premium Rush. HANDOUT

Synopsis

Of all the bicycle courier misfits who patrol the streets of Manhattan, Wylie (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the most extreme. Stripped of gears and brakes, his bike is a missile charging through the streets of New York, delivering “that thing to that place, fast.” A routine pick-up and drop-off turns dangerous when a crooked cop (Michael Shannon) decides he needs what Wylie is carrying more than its intended recipient. •

Robot & Frank is a tricky little charmer. Not only does it combine a heist movie with sci-fi conventions but, at its heart, it’s also a buddy picture between an elderly thief and his android. When ageing Frank is burdened with a mechanical caretaker, the ex-criminal soon warms to the robot as his safecracker on heists. While the film has a few inconsistencies, a delightful performance from Langella gives the drama poignancy.

Residents may profess “Darwin has settled down to a normal, everyday town” but in this documentary about a remote California town of only 35 people, filmmaker Nick Brandestini soon introduces us to ex-hippies, pagans, anarchists, a transgender and the great-nephew of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle. Slight in scope, the film remains a fascinating study of several eccentric outcasts of the American dream living as endangered survivalists.

Already a hit in Sweden, where it topped the box office and spawned a sequel, Easy Money is a crime drama that pits Middle Eastern heavies against Serbian mobsters for control of Stockholm’s drug trade. Ripe with the stuff of good gangster movies — doublecrosses, corruption and high voltage violence — it recalls Martin Scorsese. Add in a study of class and race, and a terrific performance by Joel Kinnaman (last seen here on AMC’s The Killing) as a student who drives drug dealers around and you have a movie that deserves a look before the inevitable Hollywood remake (it’s rumoured to star Zac Efron).

Stars. Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Bradley Cooper

••••• Dax Shepard stars as an ex-getaway driver who leaves behind the safety of witness protection to accompany his girlfriend (Kristen Bell) on a job interview to Los Angeles. Unfortunately as he hits the road so does his former partner in crime (Bradley Cooper). Shepard and Bell are a couple in real-life and the chemistry between them shows. When it’s just the two of them on screen Hit and Run has the makings of a fun romantic action adventure. Unfortunately the movie is also populated by peripheral characters with the combined charm of a slap (stick) to the face.

Farewell, My Queen Director. Benoît Jacquot Stars. Diane Kruger, Léa Seydoux and Virginie Ledoyen

••••• This excellent drama takes place inside the Palace at Versailles in the days following the revolutionary storming of the Bastille. It is cold and nothing less than riveting. We are among the doomed royals, courtiers and servants trapped inside the Palace wondering what will happen next. Even so, Marie Antoinette (Kruger) commissions embroidery and dreams of new clothes in her gilded bedroom. Spectacularly strong and moving performances and handheld camerawork up the urgency to unbearable levels as the walls close in. anne brodie

“I guess as unique as he is, he’s still someone who is so prolific and does so much — so obviously he’s very aware of what he’s doing. So it may come off as spontaneous and fun and silly or something. He’s one of the great comedians working today, so he’s aware of what’s funny and what he does that’s funny.

The Tall Man. Jessical Biel gets all twisted up hard-to-define film Jessica Biel likes a good surprise, which is why she can’t really talk too much about her latest film, the Tall Man. The shock-filled movie, which screened this summer at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, is about a small mining town where the mysterious figure of the title has been abducting children for years — or at least that’s what it starts out being about. And to hear Biel tell it, she really put herself through the ringer on this one. Just ask her chiropractor.

With a movie this twist-filled, how do you market it or promote it? I don’t know how you market it. You can’t market it as a horror film because it’s not. You can market it as a thriller, but then it kind of changes into a drama. It’s still a thriller. It’s definitely tense and creepy. It’s so hard to talk about it. I just try not to say anything specific (laughs).

No, that’s for sure. It was intense. It was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It was just full-on, every day being pushed by (director) Pascal (Laugier) to a point of no return where I literally was like, “I can’t do anymore,” and he was like, “Do more. Go. More, more, more” until I exploded with... I don’t know. It was intense, but it was the only way to do it.

Is that twisty nature part of what drew you to the project? Yeah. Because as I was reading the script, I didn’t know what was happening at all. I literally couldn’t guess. It just kept surprising me, page after page after page. ... It’s a lot of twists.

This is by no means a glamorous role. No, not at all. I somehow seem to enjoy doing these kinds of things every 10 years. It’s really masochistic, I think. Like whipping, beating, I don’t know what that is. I think it’s just the thrill of the fear. And it’s the violence in cinema, which is safe, because it’s not actually

happening — but you’re testing the waters of it and you’re putting yourself in that position, getting the s--- kicked out of you and putting your emotional system in that place but knowing that it’s fine. There’s something that I find really intriguing about that. That sounds exhausting. At least it’s once every 10 years and not every role. Oh my God, I think I’d have a heart attack. After I did this movie, I went to see my chiropractor. I was like, “I’m having a hard time breathing.” And he dug his fingers into my diaphragm — because my diaphragm was jammed up into my ribs because I’d spent two months (hyperventilating) and limping around.

Cinematic battle. Keanu Reeves documents the digital vs. film debate The past two decades have seen rapid advancements in digital filmmaking, leading some to worry that good old fashioned film is on its last legs. It’s a subject of particular interest to actor Keanu Reeves, who turns documentarian with director Chris Kenneally to see where technology might be taking Hollywood in Side by Side. In it, he sits down with a dizzying list of filmmakers — including James Cameron, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan — to see how the different medias measure up. Side by Side goes to great lengths to not only educate its audience on the particulars of film technology over the decades but also to let both sides of the film vs. digital debate have their say. Wally Pfister — Nolan’s go-to cinematographer, who is also working on his first film as a director — is firmly on the film side with Nolan, even going so far in Side by Side as to describe himself as “anti-technology.” Reeves acknowledges this stance might be a bit extreme, since all filmmaking utilizes some sort of technology. “Filmmaking was such an industrial revolution era tool, right? I guess he’s demonizing the technology as other be-

cause it’s new and coming in and it’s not quite the technology that he’s using anymore, right?” Reeves admits. “Yeah, I guess it is arbitrary in that sense. It’s like an emotional, arbitrary comment.” In the documentary, Reeves gets a lot of folks more comfortable behind the camera to sit down in front of it, and his most impressive “get” of the film might be the Wachowskis, who directed Reeves in the Matrix movies and have become even more media-shy since Lana Wachowski underwent gender reassignment surgery. “The

idea that they knew me and the idea of the subject matter helped in terms of wanting to speak on camera,” Reeves says. “One of the responses was, ‘For you. Only for you.’” Of course, for all the film luminaries in Side by Side, there are some that gave Reeves a firm “no” — though he won’t name names. “Generally it was work-related or they had no interest in talking to anybody. So it was either time, schedule or no interest,” he says. “It might’ve been that they just don’t like giving interviews. I wouldn’t press.”

Sixties soundtrack goes down well with prohibition trader tale Lawless. Musician and screenwriter Nick Cave uses the ‘boxy’ sounds of The Velvet Underground to set the tone in latest film ned ehrbar

Metro World News in Hollywood

Lawless opens next Friday. handout

While his main vocation is still music, Nick Cave admits he’s more than happy to write a screenplay whenever director John Hillcoat asks him to. The latest request from Hillcoat? Adapting Matt Bondurant’s book the Wettest County in the World, about Bondurant’s grandfather and great-uncles running a thriving moonshining operation during Prohibition. Cave also got to take a crack at the music for the film — as he’s often done for Hillcoat, most recently for 2009’s

the Road. For Lawless, he found some unusual inspiration in the Velvet Underground. How did you feel about changing the title from the Wettest County in the World to Lawless? Matt’s title — this is what I’m told — didn’t translate into other countries. Look, I didn’t have anything to do with that. It was a decision that was made closer to when it came out. There’s been various reasons why. Foreign territories couldn’t translate it effectively, so the film would then have a bunch of different names, and that was not good for the film. I’ve heard that it sounded like a porn film, the Wettest County. But at the end of the day, I think probably the Wettest County in the World was just too lyrical to drag in the youth market. I would say it was simply a marketing thing. Where did the idea come from to include period

versions of more modern songs, like with the Velvet Underground? I’m not really sure. Initially we were looking at songs of the time, obviously. But I just personally felt that had been done a lot and had been done really well, like O Brother Where Are Thou. I didn’t want to be chasing that kind of thing. So the time started to shift a little bit — maybe we take some from a little later. And then, f–- it, let’s take something from way over there and see what that’s like, and then kind of replay it in a sort of attempt to capture that kind of spirit of that time. But you know, something like White Light, White Heat already sounds very much fitted to the time anyway on some level — there’s a sort of boxiness to the way it’s recorded. I think that was the first one, and once we had that we went, “OK, that’s what we’re doing.”

Attention to detail a signature for Tim Burton’s films Frankenweenie. Disney film to be showcased in FanExpo marketplace at Metro Toronto Convention Centre Ian Gormely

scene@metronews.ca

“Once you’ve made Alice in Wonderland and Edward Scissorhands, you can do whatever you like,” jokes Greg Mason, VP of marketing at Walt Disney Studios Canada. He’s speaking, of course, about Tim Burton a marquee director whose signature visual style has no peers. So it makes sense then, that in gearing up for the October 5th release of his latest film, Frankenweenie, that Disney would choose to showcase the film’s meticulous stop-motion process. Set-up in the FanExpo marketplace at the Metro

Toronto Convention Centre through Sunday, the Art of Frankenweenie exhibit includes items from the director’s desk, puppets, sets, costumes and conceptual designs used in the two year process it took to film this latest slice of family friendly macabre. The film dates back to a 1984 live action half-hour short Burton created about a boy named Victor who reanimates his dead dog à la Frankenstein. A full-length feature is “something Tim always wanted to see,” says Mason. But he was always hamstrung by budget concerns. Burton turned to stop-motion style he’s used to in films like the Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride in remaking his own film. “It’s a long, painstaking process,” says Mason. Shot in “1000 shades of grey” it takes 24 frames or shots to complete one second of film and the average animator can only shoot two to five seconds a week.

It’s in the details

The creation of Frankenweenie’s puppets are as detailed as its sets. • After conception through hand-drawn sketches, puppeteers create a maquette, a three dimensional statue • An armature is done up, which can have as many as 300 joints and 45 moving parts.

• Then a sculpt is made around the armature, allowing animators to move and play around with the character from different angles (Burton kept a mirror on his desk for this purpose). • The sculpt is covered in hand-made clothing, which in and of itself is a rigorous process. It took a day just to dress the Victor armature.

The process is put in painstaking perspective when looking at the three sets included in the exhibit. Everything in them was hand made in Burton’s London workshop, from the crinkled newspaper in the family kitchen to the hand drawn sketches in Victor’s classroom notebook.

“Tim Completely immerses himself in a project,” says Mason. The meticulous attention to detail might not be evident to the average moviegoer but to the diehards who turn out in droves around the world to see Burton’s films, “those fans, they want to see that.”

BBC America ‘really confident’ in new drama series Copper Television. Featuring Canadian actor Kyle Schmid, the period piece takes viewers to famed Five Points neighbourhood of New York Ian Gormely For Metro

Something they don’t tell Canadian actors who move down South is that despite living in Los Angeles, you’ll be spending a lot of time North of the border. Originally from Mississauga, Ont., Kyle Schmid has lived in the Golden State for the last eight years, but his work has landed him significant stints in Vancouver, Montreal — where he worked on the North American version of Being Human — and now Toronto, home base of production for Copper, which premiers this Sunday on

Showcase. “It’s the show I’m most proud of,” he says. “I can share it with my family and friends and have them come on set and share the same energy I feel.” Created by Oz and St. Elsewhere writer Tom Fontana and executive produced by Diner director Barry Levinson, the series is the first foray into scripted drama for BBC America, where it airs in the States. There is no precedent at the network, Schmid says. “But BBC is really confident with the show. You do get that feeling on set.” Set in the famed Five Points region of New York in the aftermath of the civil war, the program follows Irish police officer Kevin Corcoran whose wife and child have disappeared. “I love period pieces because of the history and the wardrobe and the characters and the change in the moral and ethic values,” he says. “It’s rare (in TV) that you get to do something gritty and grimy.” Schmid originally audi-

think I’m testing for this part. The BBC producers are in there,” Schmid recalls. He asked if there was anything they needed him to do. “They said, ‘No, no, no. You got the part. Nobody told you?’” Schmid describes Morehouse as a character in flux. “It was an era of opportunity,” he says, “And Morehouse has money, power, women booze and drugs to exploit. With that comes a very layered character.” It’s a dream role for Schmid, who loves playing complex parts, but has yet to hit a point in his career where he has the luxury of picking and choosing parts. “The layers in the personality, the cracks in their walls — human qualities that make people and situations interesting are always the best characters to play.”

America’s Next Top Model gets a facelift with Friday’s season 19 (yes, 19!) debut. The first big change is seen in the new personalities: former boxer and male supermodel Rob Evans, fashion blogger Bryanboy, famed stylist Johnny Wujek, and dancer and choreographer Jonte. They replace former longtime series stars Nigel Barker, J. Alexander and Toronto-raised Jay Manuel. This season also features the show’s first-ever College Edition. (CW).

Investigative journalism at its finest Going from the inane to the intellectual, we find new episodes of investigative journalism series 20/20 (ABC, CHCH) and Dateline NBC (NBC, CTV Two) airing Friday. There’s also an encore airing of the CBC Marketplace episode Superbug in the Supermarket, in which journalists test 100 samples of chicken from across Canada for harmful germs.

Riding Night Train to success Country music. Jason Aldean explains the reason he chose the title for his next major album release When Jason Aldean names an album, he looks for a title that fits his life at the moment.

He thinks Night Train, his choice for his much anticipated fifth album, paints the perfect picture. “It’s one of those things where we went from one bus pulling a trailer to all the sudden we’ve got six or seven buses and eight or nine trucks,” Aldean said. “We’re all rolling down the interstate together at night, and that’s what it looks like. It looks like a big freight train rolling

down the interstate. It just kind of to me sums up how far things have come over the last few years.” Aldean spoke about the new album, out Oct. 16 on Broken Bow Records, just days after playing his first stadium show, the next step on his way to country superstar status. He’s sold 1.9 million concert tickets this year and his last album, the multiplatinum My Kinda Party,

produced five hit singles, won the Country Music Association’s Album of the Year award and has remained in Billboard’s country top 10 for 92 weeks. Night Train appears set to follow right down the tracks. Take a Little Ride, the first single from the album, set a record for first-week digital downloads by a male country solo artist.

Hip-hop stars start to hit pause on homophobia in rap as gay rights rise Frank Ocean. His recent revelation has many asking the question: when will a gay rapper emerge and be accepted? Snoop Dogg has rapped in songs where gay slurs have been tossed about. He’s even said them, part of a long list of rappers who have freely used the f-word — the other f-word — in rhyme. For years, anti-gay epithets and sentiments in rap have largely been accepted, along with its frequent misogyny and violence, as part of the hip-hop culture — a culture that has been slow to change, even as gay people enjoy more mainstream acceptance, particularly in entertainment. But while perhaps glacial, a shift appears to be on the horizon. “People are learning how to live and get along more, and

Frank is) an extension of the overall kind of support we’re seeing across the country for LGBT people, and not just in a broad sense, but specifically from iconic members of the black community,” said Daryl Hannah, GLAAD’s director of media and community partnerships, who added Jay-Z as those leading the change.

accept people for who they are and not bash them or hurt them because they’re different,” Snoop Dogg said in a re-

cent interview. Frank Ocean may be largely responsible for that. The rising star, who revealed on his

blog last month that his first love was a man, is technically an R&B singer. But he has produced and collaborated with

some of music’s top hip-hop acts, from Jay-Z to Andre 3000 to Kanye West to Nas. He’s also co-written songs for Beyoncé, Justin Bieber and John Legend, and is a member of the alternative rap group Odd Future. “When I was growing up, you could never do that and announce that,” Snoop said of Ocean’s revelation. “There

would be so much scrutiny and hate and negativity, and no one would step (forward) to support you because that’s what we were brainwashed and trained to know.” Some of hip-hop’s key figures have given some kind of support to the gay community. Pharrell Williams recently collaborated with the openly gay pop singer Mika on the song Celebrate. Jay-Z, like Eminem, has said people of the same sex should be able to love one another. Eminem performed with Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards at the height of GLAAD’s (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) criticism. Darryl D.M.C. McDaniels of the iconic rap group Run D.M.C is skeptical about some of hiphop’s recent support of Ocean, since he believes homophobia is still rampant in the culture. Still, he is sure a homosexual hip-hop act will emerge. “Of course there’s going to be a gay rapper.” The Associated Press

Prince in hot water at home over photo scandal In the wake of his nude Las Vegas photo scandal, Prince Harry has been summoned home, heading to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to get a talking-to from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip as well as his dad, Prince Charles, according to Us Weekly. A source tells the magazine that the royal bachelor — and third in line for the British crown — will “have to face up to family” for

the outrageous behaviour. And his personal security will have to answer some questions as well — like how the photos could have been taken, let alone leaked. But Harry’s guards needn’t be too worried. “Of course questions will be asked, and matters raised, but no one’s job is on the line,” the source says. “As protection officers, their job is to intervene when his life is at risk, not to protect his image.”

Funky toppings and themeoriented creations are turning the lowly supermarket sausage into the star of a gourmet revolution worthy of its own show on The Food Network. Question is: What do you drink with that? With such a wide variety of interpretations you need to reach for something light, clean and refreshing; or in a word: beer.

A good brew, especially a lager style, is a food affinity equalizer when things get spicy, sharp or crazy eclectic. After years of being an exclusively USA offering, Rolling Rock Extra Pale Lager (473 ml,

wiener. It doesn’t have to be all fancy pants with crazy toppings and snazzy dogs between my buns. I’m cool with a splash of mustard over something prepackaged. I’m definitely in the minority. Hot dog aficionados are making the common into an explosion of sophisticated flavours by turning their dogs into delicacies.

Plenty of people surely will disagree, but underdressed hot dogs simply don’t seem worth the calories. A well-dressed dog — that is a hot dog accompanied by robust and inspired toppings — can transform this classic summer food into so much more. As such, hot dogs should be on the overflowing and messy side. That’s why they are summer food, so you can eat them outside. But just because they are overflowing and messy doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a plan. Draw inspiration from other dishes when planning the toppings for a hot dog. Here are some suggestions. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Greek Dog

The Pizza Dog

The Taco Dog

The Curry Dog

Inspired by the gobs of feta cheese and spinach that are layered into classic spanakopita, this hot dog has big, robust flavours.

The only way to make meat-wrapped meat better is to add melted mozzarella cheese.

Soft and crunchy and spicy and creamy — exactly the way a taco should be.

Using 2 slices of prosciutto per hot dog, wrap 4 hot dogs tightly in prosciutto. Grill the hot dogs over low heat, turning regularly, until the prosciutto is crisp and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, fill 4 hot dog buns with bocconcini (small balls of fresh mozzarella). Toast the buns on the grill (bun opening facing up) until the cheese is warm and starting to melt. Place a hot dog in each bun, then top with oil-packed chopped sun-dried tomatoes and chopped fresh basil.

Spoon refried beans into 4 hot dog buns. Lightly crumble about 12 tortilla chips, then sprinkle some over the refried beans in each bun. Grill 4 hot dogs over low heat. Toast the prepared buns (bun openings facing up) until the beans are heated. Place a hot dog in each bun, then top with sliced jalapeno peppers, tomato salsa, sliced black olives and shredded cheddar cheese.

One part Indian curry, one part North American dog, this frankfurter isn’t afraid of big, bold flavours. There’s not a whole lot of work involved in this hot dog, but the potato roll is key.

Thaw 1 cup of loosepacked frozen shredded spinach; squeeze it over the sink to remove water. In large skillet over mediumhigh, heat splash of olive oil. Sauté spinach, diced medium onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic. When onion is tender, season with salt, pepper and dill seed. Grill 4 hot dogs and toast 4 hot dog buns over medium heat. Spoon some spinach mix into each bun, then place a hot dog over it. Top with crumbled feta cheese and a bit of tzatziki.

Drizzle bit of canola oil over 4 hot dogs, rolling to coat evenly. Sprinkle hot dogs evenly with curry powder. Grill hot dogs, as well as 4 small slabs of paneer, over medium heat. Grill cheese for 3 minutes, flipping once, or until nicely browned on both sides. Toast 4 potato hot dog buns on both sides. Finely chop grilled paneer and fill each toasted bun with some. Place hot dog over cheese, then spoon mango chutney over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

Opening Soon: Massimo Dutti

Just Opened: Harry Rosen Eaton Centre

Spanish retailer Massimo Dutti is opening its first North American location in Toronto, at, not surprisingly, the Eaton Centre. Slated to open on Aug. 30, this modernwear for men and women is akin to Zara and has similarities to Club Monaco as well. Featuring structured attire, excellent lines, and quality clothes, Massimo Dutti is sure to be a new hit on the fashion scene.

Sorry ladies, this one’s for the gents (seriously, I’m sorry). One of my favourite menswear stores, Harry Rosen recently opened their brand spankin’ new Eaton Centre location. Gotta say, it’s sharp as can be. With clean lines, a lightened interior, private lounge-like fitting rooms, and more space and brands than the previous Eaton Centre incarnation, this is one opening worthy of note.

“Everybody knows pico de gallo and tacos — well, there’s so much more.” Chef Chuck Hughes of new series Chuck’s Day Off on his experience with Mexican food during the two months he spent in the country filming

plete with eyes, brain, tongue and cheek). Hughes says despite recent headlines surrounding violent attacks on Canadians in Mexico, and a travel warning from Ottawa urging Canucks to exercise “extreme caution” in certain areas, he never felt unsafe during his stay last summer. “There’s probably 5,000 people that give a country of 120 million a bad rap,” he said. “I travelled for two months everywhere. I literally went everywhere, not once did I feel threatened, not once did I feel scared. People were more scared of me, if anything. They were like, ‘Who is that tall white guy with all the tattoos?’” Hughes was particularly taken with Mexico City, where he stayed in the French-influenced Condesa district. “I feel like it’s a place where almost, I belong. I felt like I was home,” said Hughes, 35. “I love the whole country, it was amazing, but Mexico City in particular was just really eyeopening.” The eight-part series is the first spinoff of Hughes’ Gem-

ini-Award-nominated Chuck’s Day Off, which is broadcast in 30 countries. The co-owner and chef of Montreal hot-spots Garde Manger and Le Bremner chose Mexico for the spinoff because he knows how to speak a little bit of Spanish and wanted to explore its terrain and cuisine. “Everybody knows pico de gallo and tacos — well there’s so much more,” he said by phone. “Being from Quebec, my whole life I grew up on pork, corn, potatoes, and when I look at Mexico it’s the same kind of deal, only they have hot peppers and they use the corn in a different fashion. But basically our staples are the same.” Watching Mexican locals cook with old-school methods — using local, in-season ingredients and minimizing waste — in remote areas with few resources taught Hughes a few techniques. It also made him realize how lucky he is to have everything at his disposal at his kitchens in Canada. “I think that’s probably what I take back the most from my whole experience. Not necessarily any specific recipe but more of a philosophy and a way of treating the ingredients, looking at the ingredients and respecting the food,” said Hughes. “My life revolves around it and I’ve always respected food a lot, but in terms of professional cooking, we’re very, very lucky that we have water whenever we want and it’s used in every stage.” The Canadian Press

Outlook grim for NHL with lockout looming Negotiations. League and union no nearer a resolution as Sept. 15 deadline draws near Another NHL lockout is beginning to feel like an inevitability. Unable to move beyond the philosophical stage of talks, the owners and players have watched another week slip by without progress. They sat down together for a quick session Thursday morning before reporting the same significant

gap that has existed all along. The main issue that divides them is far from complex. “We believe we’re paying out more than we should be,” said commissioner Gary Bettman. “It’s as simple as that.” Of course, the NHL Players’ Association doesn’t quite see it that way. Executive director Donald Fehr has acknowledged there’s room for some flexibility in that area — last week’s proposal included three years with a slightly lower share in revenues for the players — but he hasn’t come to the table in a

Not much progress

With both sides so entrenched, real negotiations have yet to begin even though the Sept. 15 deadline for a lockout is fast approaching.

conciliatory mood after taking over a union that capitulated during the last round of negotiations. “Everybody understands that employers would always like to pay less,” said Fehr. “That’s not a surprise to any-

body — it’s disappointing sometimes — but it’s not a surprise.” The parties attempted to make some progress Wednesday by clearing the meeting room of everyone but the key figures: Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly along with Fehr and his brother Steve Fehr, the union’s No. 2 man. They soon discovered there was little common ground. Those same four men will reopen talks next Tuesday in New York during what promises to be a key negotiation session. THE CANADIAN PRESS

When Steve Nash was named general manager of the Canadian men’s basketball team back in May, Jay Triano didn’t lose much sleep wondering whether he would be named the squad’s head coach. Nash introduced his longtime friend on Thursday as the man who will lead the senior men’s team, confirming a hiring that likely had only one candidate. “That’s why it’s been one of the best kept secrets in three or four months,” Nash joked. “It was somewhat required ... one of things we had to come to an agreement on before I signed on.” Being introduced at Air Canada Centre was familiar territory for Triano. He was the senior team’s head coach from 1998 to 2004, leading the side to the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and also served as head coach of the Toronto Raptors from 200809 to the end of the 2010-11 season. The 53-year-old from Niagara Falls, Ont., was the first Canadian-born and Canadian-trained coach in the NBA when he joined the Raptors in 2002 as an assistant. He was recently hired as an assistant for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Jon Jones to fight in Toronto after UFC 151 cancelled

light heavyweight champion Jon Jones for declining a replacement fight with Chael Sonnen Studio

P5436

The UFC cancelled its Sept. 1 pay-per-view show Thursday after light heavyweight contender Dan Henderson injured his knee and champion Jon Jones declined a replacement fight with Chael Sonnen. UFC President Dana White was left furious with Jones and his trainer, Greg Jackson, after the UFC was forced to scrap a major card for the first time in his 11 years in charge of mixed martial arts’ dominant promotion. “This is probably one of my all-time lows,” White said. “The one thing that I never thought in a million years would ever happen – it happened.” White said Jones is the first UFC champion ever to turn down a match even on such short notice, calling the decision “selfish” and “disgusting.”

December in the same city. But that did nothing to curb White’s anger at one of his promotion’s biggest stars — and an athlete personally sponsored by the UFC. Last-minute matchup changes occur frequently in MMA shows due to injuries, and White rarely has a problem getting his tough-guy fighters to take risks. Jones and Jackson didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The 41-year-old Henderson was forced to drop out of his title shot against Jones after partially tearing a ligament in his knee during training, according to White. Sonnen immediately agreed to take the assignment on eight days’ notice, even moving up from 185 pounds to 205 to do it. The trash-talking, attentionloving Sonnen was stopped by middleweight champion Anderson Silva on July 7 in their entertaining rematch at UFC 148, the UFC’s biggest show of the summer.

Sex crimes of past follow Argonauts’ Washington to T.O. CFL. New Argo offensive tackle pleaded guilty to prohibitive sexual contact with sister when both were teenagers Tony Washington has paid dearly for his crime but he can’t outrun his past. The new offensive left tackle for the Toronto Argonauts just wants to play football. He’s already said what he wants to say about what happened a decade ago when he was 16, living in a Louisiana project where gangs, drugs and prostitution were part of his neighbourhood’s daily life. But there are some ugly truths that can’t be ignored. His back story is one of them. On May 9, 2003, Washington pleaded guilty to prohibitive sexual conduct with his sister, Caylen. At the time, he was 16. She was 15. He wasn’t charged with sexQuoted

“With my record it’s damn near impossible to get a job. So this is really all I have.” Tony Washington to ESPN the Magazine in 2010.

ual assault. Their sex was consensual. But it was still against the law. He was convicted and remains a registered sex offender in the U.S. where his photo is available on a website with the more than 720,000 registered sex offenders in America. The graduate from Abilene Christian University where he played NCAA Division II football has completed his five-year probation. But the 26-year-old father of two young boys won’t discuss his past with Torstar News Service, choosing instead to let an expansive 2010 article in ESPN The Magazine stand as the definitive piece on a troubling part of his life that he wished never happened. The stigma of being a sex offender prevented him from getting a shot in the NFL, according to the ESPN article. But the Calgary Stampeders in 2011, and now the Toronto Argonauts, have been willing to judge him based on his talent. “For us, it came down to, ‘can he be the kind of individual on and off the field who we want in our organization?’ and he’s been nothing but that since we signed him,” Argos GM Jim Barker said. “He made a mistake at a young age when he was a minor. There’s no doubt about that. But if you don’t give some people an opportunity, what are they going

to do? “There are a lot of guys, who have had issues, who have gone through this league.... Tony grew up in an incredibly bad situation.” The scuttlebutt was that his presence on any team would be too hard for public relations to sell. He would be crucified by opposing teams and perhaps not accepted in his own lockerroom. “I get it,” Washington said in the ESPN article about not being drafted. “It isn’t just about sports. It is politics and money. Why would they take on a sex offender? I wouldn’t.” Canadian immigration officials had to give permission for him to enter the country to join the Stampeders with whom he played for in 2011 before being released at training camp this season. “The people in Calgary and people whom I know and trust have nothing but fantastic things to say about him,” Barker said. “He’s been nothing but great since he’s been with us. “He’s not somebody who has had perennial problems and moved from team to team in the NFL with issues after issues. He was let go by the Stampeders but it had nothing to do with any kind of issue. They just had other tackles they wanted to use.”

Report

Conference Board says Canada ready for more pro sports

Argos offensive tackle Tony Washington at practice on Thursday. CARLOS OSORIO/Torstar News service

In 2003

In the 2010 ESPN piece, the Argos offensive lineman revealed he never knew what he and his sister did was against the law. Basically alone in their world, they trusted nobody but themselves. • At 9, he had already been

exposed to pornography and sexual misconduct involving a close relative in the suburbs of Dallas.

• At 12, his mother and

siblings moved to Louisiana.

They would move from one rough neighbourhood to another in the project of Marrero across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. • According to the ESPN arti-

cle, police discovered the incestuous relationship several months after it happened when Caylen was arrested on suspicion of prostitution. When Washington came to the station to get her, he was asked about having sex with her. He didn’t deny it.

Canada appears ripe for major-league sports expansion over the next two decades, says a new report from the Conference Board of Canada. Economic and demographic trends suggest the country could support three new NHL teams, the return of Major League Baseball to Montreal and the NBA to Vancouver, and as many as three new MLS teams. The study, released Thursday, also suggests that by the year 2035, another seven cities could support CFL franchises. “The professional sports scene in Canada will continue to expand over the next 25 years,” writes Glen Hodgson and Mario Lefebvre. “The conditions for growth are right — the Canadian dollar will likely remain strong and the taxation gap with the U.S. is expected to continue to narrow. This will allow existing franchises to prosper and offer a better chance for new franchises to succeed.” The study looked at population growth, the effects of an aging population, the strength of the dollar, the movement of corporate head offices, and income growth to predict which cities will be able to support big-league sports.

Defence key to B.C.’s supremacy

CFL Extra Points

Dan Toth toronto@metronews.ca

2 4 6 More than offence fuelling defending champs’ league-best record; Argos looking for ammo in Rambo; Eskimos attack has to start picking up slack Photos by The Canadian Press

1 3 5 Toronto Argonauts

B.C. Lions

The Lions’ smothering defence has looked unbeatable in recent weeks and hasn’t allowed a touchdown in 13 quarters while the team has surrendered less than 10 points in three straight games. It is the key reason they are first in the CFL with a 5-2 record, even though the offence seems to attract most of the accolades.

The signing this week of receiver Ken-Yon Rambo says all you need to know about the Argos offensive punch. Despite having Ricky Ray at QB, Toronto is looking for offensive inspiration from the 32-year-old former Stampeder who was sensational in his time in Calgary but is well past his expiry date.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Calgary Stampeders

At 3-4, Calgary plays its most important game of the season Saturday in Regina against the 3-4 Roughriders, currently experiencing a four-game slide. A Stamps win would claim the season series, (including a 41-38 win in July), which could decide a playoff spot come November.

A few weeks back we argued Buck Pierce should ride the pine once he returns to health, and leave Alex Brink in charge of the offence. Well, the same scenario applies for backup Joey Elliott should he continue his hot streak. Having too many QB options is a good problem for head coach Paul LaPolice.

Saskatchewan Roughriders

Fans have reason to demand change after the Riders’ worst offensive showing of the season last week in Vancouver when they failed to find the endzone. But the Roughies’ brass needs to be wary of rash decisions based on fan outrage (Fire Corey Chamblin! Bench Darian Durant!). Another hot streak still gives the Riders a chance to finish first in the West.

Edmonton Eskimos

The Eskimos’ defence deserves most of the credit for the team’s surprisingly strong showing. But when QB Steven Jyles and the Esks’ O can’t move the ball, the strain begins to show on the defenders.

Horoscopes

Aries

March 21 - April 20 Be honest with yourself about your financial situation. The only way to resolve a problem is to identify exactly what that problem is, so stop pretending everything is fine and get to grips with reality. You’ll do OK.

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 Don’t look for the usual explanations today. Look for explanations that seem most outrageous, because those are the ones most likely to be true. You need to learn to think in more creative ways.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 The Sun’s link to Neptune will confront you with situations, both at home and at work, that demand a more flexible response. Approach the same old problems in the same old ways — and you’ll get the same old results.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 Don’t waste time trying to make sense of what is going on in the world because most likely it will make no sense. The good news is you are one of the lucky few who will benefit from the upheavals.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 The more others tell you to follow the herd and do what everyone else is doing, the more you should do the opposite! The herd always ends up in the slaughterhouse, so break free and be the one who survives.

Virgo

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You have got to be active if you want to succeed. For best results today get out into the world and meet as many new people as you can. Luck is most likely to come when you are on the move.

Crossword: A Team Member, a Party, a Group, and a Game

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 The rules of the game are for other people. Why? Because you are playing a different game entirely. Do as you please and come and go as you see fit. To put it bluntly: Who is going to stop you?

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Do something out of the ordinary today. If others are shocked by your behaviour, that’s both a bad sign and a good sign: bad in that it confirms you’ve become too predictable; good in that you know you must change.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Focus on your work today and believe that you can turn your dreams into realities. Whatever career path you have been following to date you must be more adventurous over the coming few weeks. What have you got to lose?

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Capricorn may be traditional by nature but you know when it is right to disrupt the status quo and that’s now. Chaos is not always a bad thing. Out of disruption will come a more positive way of life.
