Get your skates ready

Child-porn charges laid Police have arrested a 65-year-old man for an alleged stash of child pornography.

Ottawa resident Rene Lacoste was arrested without incident Wednesday and faces two counts of possession of child pornography.

The National Capital Commission is set to open a portion of the world’s largest skating rink Friday to the public at an official ceremony, which will include the Rideau Canal Ice Hog mascots.

A 2.2-kilometre stretch of the Rideau Canal Skateway between the Bank Street bridge and Pretoria bridge will be accessible after a 10:30 a.m. press conference.

Members of the public are invited to skate on the ice following the opening, which will be led by NCC CEO Jean-François Trépanie.

Two-year-old Phoebe Doull-Hoffman strings courage beads onto a necklace her family has been making for every milestone in her fight with a rare form of leukemia. Phoebe’s mother writes the necklace is almost 50 feet long. Phoebe is still waiting for a decision from physicians in Philadelphia on whether she will be included in a clinical trial for an innovative treatment for her disease. Although the family had expected news Thursday, they still hadn’t heard anything by the end of the business day. Doctors in Philadelphia are waiting to see how strong the little girl’s T cells are and whether they are strong enough to carry an inactive HIV virus which would then seek out and destroy cancerous cells.

Dave Gordon can’t tell you how many homeless veterans there are in Ottawa, but the executive director of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Ontario Command knows they’re out there.

“When we went to the first homeless veterans’ remembrance service (in 2009), we had no idea who would show up,” Gordon said Thursday. “We had a packed house. We know there was at least 12 homeless veterans that attended that service. And we knew from then we had to look.”

Because the legion can only identify those veterans who come forward looking for help, the problem is cur-

rently very difficult to accurately quantify.

The legion wants to partner with the City of Ottawa and Veterans Affairs Canada to collaborate on housing issues, and increase the information being shared between various service providers.

On Thursday, Ottawa’s community and protective services committee approved a recommendation, originating from a November 2012 motion from Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches, to direct staff to work on veterans issues with the legion and the federal government. Councillors are expected to give final approval of the plan next Wednesday.

“The goal of this initiative is to really strengthen the safety net for veterans, and in particular homeless veterans,” said Desroches from Toronto on Thursday.

Since that first service in 2009, Gordon said his organization has been able to render assistance to 45 homeless veterans across Ontario.

Ottawa Fashion Week.

Showcasing latest trends Fashionistas from outside of Canada will bring some unique flare to the nation’s capital next month at the fall and winter edition of Ottawa Fashion Week.

Hailing from Nigeria, Anjorin Babatunde Adeniran will make his Canadian fashion week debut in Ottawa with Anjoreen Couture during the Feb. 8 to 10 event inside the Ottawa Convention Centre ballroom.

“It’s something new (for him). I think he’ll bring a very different feel with his collection to Ottawa Fashion Week that we haven’t seen in the past,” said OFW director of coordination, Hanh Hoang.

“His collection tends to be on the Afro-chic side. So, very traditional African kind of style, but there’s a modern twist to it.”

New York’s Tess Johnson will also make her debut in February at OFW, which is mark-

ing its ninth edition. Hoang called her previous collections from the spring “astounding.”

Ottawa’s very own designers will also make a splash at the show, including Frank Sukhoo from Sukhoo Sukhoo, Jana & Emilia, Eliz Bourk, and Y!D.N.A. About 20 to 22 designers are expected to grace the runway this season for three nights.

Charity. Rock Lottery auctioning off new song If you ever dreamed of having your name immortalized in song — here’s your chance.

Friday night, Ottawa’s Rock Lottery will draw the name of a lucky audience member at Raw Sugar Cafe and give two musicians one hour to collaborate on a song about them.

“I love the Rock Lottery so much. It speaks to me in the way that I’ve chosen to pursue my art,” said Ottawa’s Ian Keteku, who loves to improvise and was crowned World Poetry Slam Champion in 2010 in Paris, France.

Keteku will perform Friday, collaborating with two

musicians to improvise brand new songs. “We’re going to get together and do some improv, we’re rehearsing a bit tonight,” he said. “If it’s remixing stuff that we each have and creating a Frankenstein of a song, we will do that.”

The charity event will raise funds for the Ottawa Food Bank and the full-scale Rock Lottery in the summer.

The summer event brings members of five or six bands together to create a super group who then have 24 hours to write original songs for a full 25 minute set.

Hot beer on tap Winterbrewed. First year of fest features unique beer choices Graham Lanktree

It may sound strange, but according to festival founder JP Fournier, hot beer will top the menu as the Winterbrewed festival takes over Sparks Street at Winterlude this February.

“You take ale, put it in a pot, add ingredients and then serve it hot,” Fournier said, citing a mulled pumpkin cinnamon and nutmeg brew with cloves as one of his favourite winter recipes. “There’s so

much creativity between summer seasonal beer and what’s created for winter and fall. A big part of what I wanted to do was open people’s eyes to discover what beer can actually be.”

Another one from Fournier’s vault is a 1588 Tudor recipe for buttered ale that’s heated, then mixed with sugar and eggs. “It’s a totally different experience,” he said. “It’s more culinary in nature.”

Although that one won’t be on the menu, Winterbrewed will have its own hot beer tent outside the Bridgehead at the corner of Metcalfe and Sparks Streets. “In the hot beer tent there will be various types of beer infused with coffee or hot chocolate, plenty of mulled beer,” said Fournier.

Flavourful beer won’t be the only tastes available to curious brew aficionados. “Our food vendors are artisanal and beer friendly,” said Fournier, adding that the urban sugar shack from Vanier will make an appearance as well as a Spud’s Potato Bar and Poutinerie which will serve a maple bacon poutine.

“We’re really going back to a time where artisanal commitment to making a quality product that takes time and effort to do has become important to brewers,” said Fournier.

“Ottawans try to seek out a higher quality and crave that foodie, gourmet discovery.”

Winterbrewed will run Feb. 16 to 17. Tickets start at $10.

Beau’s brewery from Vankleek Hill will play a big role in the winter event as they roll out their snowman lounge for the event. There, they hope to build 300 snowmen with the help of locals and the brewery is asking people to bring mitts, toques and scarves to decorate them with which will then be donated to charity, Fournier said.

More than eight local breweries, including Big Rig, Beyond the Pale and Broadhead will be there to join in to offer a taste of their brews.

Inquest jurors see the cell where Ashley Smith died What could guards see? Food slot and viewing window may be main focus of hearing into troubled teen’s final hours Inquest jurors paced the beige-painted segregation cell Thursday where a troubled teen choked to death five years ago as security guards stood watching her.

The tour of the Grand Valley Institution in Kitchener, one of five federal prisons for women in Canada, aimed to offer the jury better insight into the place where Ashley Smith, 19, spent the last weeks of her life.

“This was Ashley’s cell,” declared assistant warden Tony Simoes.

A key difference between how the cell was when Smith died in it and how it is now are the two large windows in the heavy grey door that would have given guards a better view of the interior.

The old-style doors, still on the three adjacent cells, have only a small viewing window

Boy, 13, accused of sex attack A 13-year-old boy is facing charges after Peterborough police allege a female staff member at an area school was choked and sexually assaulted.

He was charged with sexual assault and overcoming resistance to commit an indictable offence.

He cannot be identified. the canadian press

at about eye level and a “cuff port” or food slot closer to knee level.

Evidence about what guards could see of the cell interior is expected to play a role given that Smith fre-

quently covered the interior surveillance camera and viewing window with toilet paper.

Bits of toilet paper are still visible on some of the cameras.

Terror-case Canadian gets 14-year jail term A Canadian businessman was sentenced to 14 years in prison Thursday for providing material support to overseas terrorism.

It was alleged Tahawwur Rana supported a Pakistani group whose 2008 attacks on Mumbai, India, left more than 160 people dead.

The judge sentenced Rana in a Chicago court to the prison term followed by five years of supervised release.

Rana, a 52-year-old Pakistani-born Canadian, faced a maximum 30 years in prison.

Jurors in 2011 convicted him of providing support for the Pakistani group Lashkare-Taiba, and for supporting a never-carried-out plot to attack a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2005.

The cartoons angered many Muslims because pictures of the prophet are prohibited in Islam.

But jurors cleared Rana of the third and most serious charge of involvement in the three-day rampage in Mumbai, India’s largest city, which

has often been called India’s 9-11.

The government’s star witness at Rana’s trial was admitted terrorist David Coleman Headley, who had pleaded guilty to laying the groundwork for the Mumbai attacks.

The American-Pakistani testified against his school friend Rana to avoid the death penalty and extradition.

He is scheduled to be sen-

tenced in Chicago next week.

Headley spent five days on the witness stand — taking up more than half the trial — detailing how he allegedly worked for both the Pakistani intelligence agency known as the ISI and Lashkar.

Prosecutors also presented Rana’s videotaped arrest statement to the FBI, during which he said he knew Headley had trained with Lashkar.

They also played a September 2009 recorded phone conversation between the men.

Rana — who owned an immigration consulting firm in Toronto and a home in Ottawa — was accused of allowing Headley to open a branch of his Chicago-based immigration law business in Mumbai as a cover story and travel as a representative of the company in Denmark.

In court, a travel agent showed how Rana booked travel for Headley.

Rana’s trial in 2011 came just weeks after navy SEALs found Osama bin Laden hiding in Pakistan. the associated press

Dr. John Carlisle, presiding coroner, urged jurors to examine what would be visible if guards could only look through the food slot — about the size of a large mail slot.

Fracking fuss. Yoko Ono takes son Sean Lennon on a protest over drilling Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and actress Susan Sarandon spoke out against fracking — a drilling technique — during a tour of natural-gas drilling sites in northeastern Pennsylvania on Thursday.

The celebrities said the technique is a danger to air, water and human health.

Ono accused the gas industry of disregarding residents’ welfare. “They care about making money,” she said.

The celebs headed to rural Susquehanna County to see gas wells, compressor stations and other evidence of

the Marcellus Shale drilling boom.

They also visited with residents who say they have been negatively impacted by drilling.

Fracking involves the high-pressure injection of millions of gallons of water, along with sand and chemical additives, deep underground to break apart shale rock and free the gas trapped inside it.

The industry and many federal and state officials say fracking is safe when it’s done properly. the associated press

Lawyer claims Football star may be Germany. up to 16 objects were left in patient after surgery in on girlfriend hoax Surgeons left up to 16 objects in a man’s body during an operation for prostate cancer, a lawyer in Germany claims.

She is seeking more than $100,000 US plus costs for the family of the patient, who has since died. Surgical slips such as these are rare, but with millions of operations performed worldwide each year, mistakes do occur.

According to Loyola University in Chicago, citing medical studies, some 1,500 patients in the United States have surgical objects accidentally left inside them during surgery each year. Most of the objects are sponges used to control patient bleeding during long operations. They can lead to pain, infections and other medical complications.

Such cases have prompted doctors to coin the term “retained surgical items” and draw up guidelines to prevent them from occurring. These include accounting for all items after surgery — such as with the help of RFID chips — and using equipment containing special strips that show up clearly in x-rays.

Manti Te’o. Linebacker still spoke of his dead online love even after he supposedly learned she never existed Not once but twice after he supposedly discovered his online girlfriend of three years never even existed, Notre Dame AllAmerican linebacker Manti Te’o perpetuated the heartbreaking story about her death.

An Associated Press review of news coverage found that the Heisman Trophy runner-up talked about his doomed love in a web interview on Dec. 8 and again in a newspaper interview published on Dec. 11. He and the university said Wednesday that he learned on Dec. 6 that it was all a hoax.

On Thursday, a day after Te’o’s inspiring story was exposed as a lie, Te’o and Notre Dame faced questions about whether he really was duped, as he claimed, or whether he and the university were complicit and misled the public, perhaps to improve his chances of winning the Heisman.

Te’o and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said on Wednesday that the player was drawn into a virtual romance with one “Lennay Kekua” and was fooled into believing she died of leukemia in September. They said his only contact with her was via the Internet and telephone.

Te’o also lost his grandmother — for real — the same day his girlfriend supposedly died, and his role in leading Notre Dame to its best season in decades put him at the centre of college football’s biggest feel-good story of the year.

Relying on info provided by Te’o’s family, the South Bend Tribune reported in October that Te’o and Kekua first met

Notable cases

• In March 2009, a Ken-

tucky jury awarded a woman $2.5 million after she needed surgery to remove a sponge left in her during a hysterectomy three years earlier.

Part of her small intestine had to be removed.

• In Feb. 2010, doctors

in the Czech Republic discovered a foot-long metal tube had been left inside a woman’s abdomen five months after surgery. The clinic chief said four staff members had been punished.

• In Dec. 2011, a man in

Ohio who had two towels left in his body after surgery won a $275,000 settlement from the U.S. government.

• In Sept. 2012, a patient

in Australia required a second operation after a surgical instrument was left in the abdomen.

Manti Te’o claims the hoax was painful and humiliating. James Brosher/South Bend Tribune/The Associated Press File Questionable words

“I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer. So I’ve really tried to go to children’s hospitals and see, you know, children.”

Manti Te’o during an interview for WSBT.com on Dec. 8, two days after he said he learned his girlfriend wasn’t real

in person in 2009 and that the two had also gotten together in Hawaii, where Te’o grew up.

Te’o never mentioned or denied a face-to-face meeting in public comments reviewed by the AP.

Notre Dame said Te’o found out that Kekua was not a real person through a phone call he received at an awards ceremony in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 6. He told Notre Dame coaches about the situation on Dec. 26.

On Wednesday, Swarbrick said Notre Dame did not go public with its findings sooner because it expected the Te’o family to come forward first.

But Deadspin.com broke the story that day.

Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass said the university’s failure to call a news conference and go public sooner means “Notre Dame is complicit in the lie.”

“The school fell in love with the Te’o girlfriend myth,” he wrote.

Serbia. Smashable room all the rage, only $6 a pop A man looks around the room, lifts a metal baseball bat and wrecks everything in sight. This isn’t a criminal onslaught: it’s the Rage Room.

And it’s smashing its way to success in Serbia, one angry visitor at a time.

Since it opened in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad in October, the Rage Room has drawn a flurry of attention in a country where two decades of war, political crisis and economic hardship have driven many people over the edge.

Naked news

Inspired by a similar “Anger Room” in Dallas, Texas, Serbia’s version was set up by two teens who figured it could be a way to earn pocket money.

“On average, we have one person a day, enough to keep us going,” said Nikola Pausic.

Included in the roughly $6 fee is the right to smash a chair, a table, a bed, a coat rack and a bookshelf, along with items such as framed photographs, empty cans and plastic containers.

Sandwich sob story

N.Y.C. beats L.A. in kid-obesity effort

San Fran’s nude ban up for debate

Subway’s footlong not a foot long?

A new study shows New York City is doing better than Los Angeles in fighting childhood obesity, at least for low-income kids.

From 2003 to 2011, obesity in poor children dropped in N.Y.C. to 16 per cent. But they rose in L.A. and ended at 20 per cent.

The study focused on those in a government program for providing food and noted that the L.A. program has many more Mexican-American kids, in which male obesity is more common. The Associated Press

A federal judge is set to consider San Francisco’s new law that bans public nudity.

Activists on Thursday requested that U.S. District Judge Edward Chen block the law from going into effect on Feb. 1, while he considers their lawsuit seeking to invalidate the ordinance.

The activists argue that the ban violates their First Amendment freedom of speech because their nudity is a political statement.

Subway is facing criticism after an Australian man posted a picture online of one of its sandwiches next to a tape measure that seems to shows it’s not as long as promised.

The footlong sandwiches are meant to be 12 inches, but the photo shows the Australian’s sandwich is just 11 inches.

Subway said the length of its sandwiches may vary slightly when the bread is not made to the chain’s specifications.

Hostages freed, but death toll at Algerian gas plant unclear Foreign captives.

Kidnapping was one of the largest ever attempted by a militant group in North Africa

Algerian special forces launched a rescue operation Thursday at a natural-gas plant in the Sahara Desert and freed foreign hostages held by alQaida-linked militants, but estimates for the number of dead varied wildly from four to dozens.

Militants claiming revenge for France’s intervention against rebels in Mali seized the BP, Statoil and Sonatrachowned Ain Amenas natural-gas complex on Wednesday, taking dozens of foreign workers hostage.

Algerian state television said Thursday that four captives, two Britons and two Filipinos, had died. But the militants said at least 35 hostages had died in the state’s rescue attempt. There was no way to independently verify the toll in the remote location, 1,300 kilometres from Algiers.

The reports of high casualties have deeply disturbed foreign governments, prompting a number to criticize Algeria’s operation. Britain’s Foreign Office attempted to prepare the British public by saying, “We should be under no illusion Special court

Gang-rape trial to be fast-tracked An Indian magistrate on Thursday ordered the trial of five men accused in the fatal gang rape of a young woman on a moving bus to be shifted to a special fast-track court in New Delhi. The first hearing is to be held there on Monday.

Lawyers for the five have said police mistreated their clients, including beating them to force them to confess to the Dec. 16 crime. A sixth suspect in the attack claims to be a juvenile and his case is being handled separately.

Islamists from the Masked Brigade, a Mali-based al-Qaida offshoot, said Algerian helicopters opened fire as the militants tried to leave the vast complex with their hostages.

They claimed that 35 hostages and 15 militants died and only seven hostages survived.

Algeria’s official news service, meanwhile, claimed that 600 local workers were freed in the raid and half of the foreigners being held were rescued.

Many of those locals were reportedly released on Wednesday, however, by the militants themselves. the associated press

Conflict of interest? Flaherty attempted to influence CRTC decision on radio licence The Conservative government would not say whether it stands by its own accountability rules for members of cabinet after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was accused of breaching the guidelines.

Carl Vallée, a spokesman for Stephen Harper, declined to say Thursday whether the Prime Minister’s Office continues to endorse the rules on ministerial responsibility.

The controversy was sparked by news Flaherty had urged the federal broadcast regulator to grant a radio licence to a company in his Ontario riding even though the rules — posted on Harper’s website — forbid ministers from trying to influence the decisions of administrative tribunals.

Britain says neigh to eating horsemeat ‘Horse burger’ scandal.

Tesco supermarket chain amps up damage control in wake of discovery that meat products contained up to 29% equine flesh In Britain, a horse is a horse — not a main course. Tesco, the country’s biggest supermarket chain, took out fullpage newspaper ads Thursday to apologize for an unwanted ingredient in some of its hamburgers: horsemeat.

Ten million burgers have been taken off shop shelves after the revelation that beef products from three companies in Ireland and Britain contained horse DNA. Most had only small traces, but one burger of a brand sold by Tesco had meat content that was 29 per cent horse. The contrite grocer told customers that “we and our supplier have let you down and we apologize.”

Reel Guys

RICHARD CROUSE AND MARK BRESLIN

Aging a little too well Crowd pleaser. The Reel Guys agreed Quartet was a nice look at old age, but ultimately couldn’t stomach the ending Richard: Mark, this could have gone one of two ways.

It could’ve been a depressing look at the difficulties of growing old, or it could have turned into one of those “loveable old coot” movies.

Instead, like the recent The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, it treats its elderly characters like vibrant, real people, even though they use walkers and have lapses of memory. Medical conditions aside, emotionally they are as rich — if not richer — than 90 per cent of the characters we see in any Katherine Heigl romantic comedy. What did you think?

Mark: Richard, they are lovable old coots, or at least high-functioning geezers. It’s

an idyllic view of old age — everyone has money and talent, and only a little bit of dementia, a wisp of a stroke, or a slightly malfunctioning hip. If they showed what old age was really like, the movie would be unwatchable. The great thing about the movie is the cast — and what a cast!

Could Billy Connolly be more charming? Tom Courtenay more noble? Maggie Smith more ... Maggie Smith? But the film falls down in the storytelling. There’s just not enough there. If you’re going to cast these legends of stage and screen, you need to give them more to do.

RC: It is predictable, just this side of twee and don’t get me started about the unsatisfying ending. Luckily it’s also a crowd pleaser due to the chemistry of the cast. I loved Billy Connolly’s roguishness and the sense of real warmth that exists between all the main players. That Dustin Hoffman learned a thing or two about directing actors over the years.

Synopsis

The action centres around Beechham House, a luxurious retirement home for aging musicians. Three quarters of a once famous vocal quartet, Reginald (Tom Courtenay), Cissy (Pauline Collins), and Wilfred (Billy Connolly), live there quietly until their former diva, Jean (Dame Maggie Smith), arrives. Her presence stirs up old feelings from ex-husband Reggie but might also be the key to changing the fortunes of the cashstrapped retirement home.

Star ratings: •

Richard: •••••

Mark: •••••

MB: The ending is horrible, one of the worst cheats in cinematic history. I was looking forward to those venerable actors tackling Verdi.

But the scene I really enjoyed was Tom Courtenay teaching

a class of visiting teenagers and trying to explain opera through comparisons with rap and hip-hop. But the entire plot revolves around the will-she-or-won’t-she decision of Maggie Smith to join the quartet.

The script has her make that decision too blithely after resisting so vociferously.

I just wasn’t convinced. And she goes from imperious wit in her grand entrance to empathetic sensitivity way too quickly. The movie’s not long.

Maybe a few scenes were excised?

SCENE

Dame Maggie Smith stars in Quartet — a story of a once famous singing group now retired and living together. HANDOUT

RC: It feels a bit like there was some unfortunate chopping, but I have to say overall the actors carried the day for me.

Weak story and even weaker ending notwithstanding, it’s a crowd pleaser.

MB: And it looks great. It was a pleasure spending 90 minutes in a perfectly groomed mansion in the English countryside. When I start to lose it, make me a reservation.

It may have been nearly a decade since Arnold Schwarzenegger has led a big-screen blockbuster, but in The Last Stand, the sexagenarian is proving he’s still got some fight in him. The threadbare story of a small-town sheriff determined to detain a drug lord from escaping into Mexico certainly doesn’t break any new ground in the action department, but for fans of the genre, it’s a welcome and winking return from the former Governator.

Tragic circumstances led to two small children (Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse) being abandoned for five years in a cabin in the woods. Rescued, they are adopted by their uncle (Game of Thrones’s Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his girlfriend (Jessica Chastain) but the question remains, who is the mysterious Mama they keep talking about?

Mama has some nice subtle creepy reveals, a vivid dream sequence and, of course, the ethereal Mama, who occasionally resembles a giant hairball on the floor, but is eerie nonetheless.

Metro World News in Hollywood

With Parker, Jason Statham continues his bid to be the 21st century answer to his Expendables co-stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, a purveyor of action films that can be big and loud but don’t have to be dumb. His latest finds him playing a crafty crook with a surprisingly strict moral code — even when faced with the likes of Jennifer Lopez.

Do you consider this in the same vein as things like the Mechanic and the Italian Job, putting a modern spin on older action material?

You wouldn’t be far wrong in saying that. Parker’s a different

sort of animal for me, though.

He’s a crook, he’s a criminal, but there’s something about him that makes you forgive what he’s doing in some way, and I think there’s an interesting aspect to that. You know, you’re not supposed to like crooks or criminals. You know, he’s devoted to his girlfriend.

There’s something about that as well. Crooks and criminals usually haven’t got many morals. They do whatever they can for their ill-gotten gains... but this guy has a particular way of taking it, and he has a way of protecting what he cares about.

It’s interesting, that girlfriend character, since you also have Jennifer Lopez in the movie, and people would assume, you two together on screen...

You’d expect something.

When’s it going to go off? I know, some people will go, “Oh, I don’t believe it, it’s stupid. How could he resist?

Boom! I love that line. I’m glad you noticed that, I loved that line. When I read the screenplay, I was like, “Oh my God, I f—ing love this guy.” Right to the end, he f—ing never let that f—er forget, you know?

There aren’t that many new action stars in the vein of your Expendables co-stars.

How did you manage to become one of them?

I mean, to categorize myself in the same breath as Stallone and Arnold is a little bit beyond me, but I love their movies. I’m a big action movie junkie, and it’s great to be making action movies.

I think it’s still the strongest genre and always has been.

I think it gets a bad name for itself sometimes because sometimes they’re a bit thin on story, and there are more often than not a lot of crap ones that get made. That wave just seems to wash over some of them. But I love being in the action movie genre. It’s fun, and it’s better than doing period dramas back in England. For me, at least.

You got your start in diving.

What do you make of sudden popularity of celebrity diving specials?

Is it popular now? I need to see that. People are going to get f---ing hurt. Who’d have thought it, because it was a f---ing tiny sport when I was doing it. And it still is, as far as I know. It doesn’t put together big crowds, apart from the Olympics, and that’s only every four years.

It’s funny to hear it’s popular now, because back when I started nobody knew what f--ing diving was. If I said I was a diver, they’d go, “Oh, how deep do you go?” So it would be very funny to see.

Three songs for the weekend sound check

Alan Cross scene@metronews.ca

When I need a shot of something interesting, I always turn to local indie scenes.

Here are three recent finds.

Sweet Child O’ Mine/Tashaki Miyaki A truly great song will be great no matter who chooses to interpret it. This version of the GnR hit by an L.A. dream pop band proves my point.

Boys in the Band/Guilty About Girls Remember Vancouver’s Pure? Guilty About Girls descended from them. My only complaint about this song is that it’s not long enough.

‘It would be preposterous to come back after my hiatus and not acknowledge that there is a rebuilding process,’ says the rapper/novelist/TV star, pictured. Getty images

Standing Still (The Girls I Call Don’t Answer…)/Danger Bees Nerdy five-piece indie-pop band from Toronto who record for the brilliantly-named Daycare Records: Babysitting Your Stupid Band.

Music. Gimme a fast car?

Gimme Coldplay instead There’s something about Coldplay’s music that’s just so soothing, right? It’s apparently more than that. It’s also the safest to listen to when driving. Next time you’re in your car and you buckle your seat belt and switch on your Bluetooth to avoid chatting while driving, pop in some Coldplay to ensure ultimate safety. The British band’s The Scientist landed on a list of “ultimate safe driving songs” compiled by Confused.com, the creator of driving app MotorMate.

Good fortune for the ‘Trouble Man’ Heavy is the Head.

T.I. on returning to the entertainment industry with a vengeance G. Valentino Ball scene@metronews.ca

While his run-ins with the law have been the fodder for many a tabloid over the past few years, hip-hop star T.I. has stayed focused on diversifying his work.

The Atlanta rapper has produced his VH1 reality

show Family Hustle, written two books — Power & Beauty along with its sequel Trouble & Triumph — and through his Grand Hustle label introduced the world to B.o.B. Now you can add the success of his latest album, Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head.

Is he worried that fans of his hard edged hip-hop will be turned off by how much he has broadened his horizons?

“It would be preposterous to come back after my hiatus and not acknowledge that there is a rebuilding process,” he says. “I’m not the same guy,

but I am cut from the same cloth. My morals, my standards are still the same. My actions and my locations might be a tad bit different but my mindset and my heart is still the same.”

The Atlanta-born rapper returned to the charts last month when his eighth album hit No. 2 on Billboard, moving 179,000 units in the first week.

“The response exceeded my expectations. I’m ecstatic that the subject matter and body of work really connected with the audience,” he says. “That’s an unmatched feeling for an artist.”

Er...

The next challenge for T.I. is bringing together the stars of his hometown for an all-star tour.

“As of right now I’m cultivating the relationships that will allow us to work together in that capacity,” he says. “I’m making an attempt at putting together a domestic package that would allow us to go on tour: A package that will consist of myself, Trinidad James, I’ve spoken to Jeezy (and others). The new generation, the veterans and the OGs putting together a package that will really show the nation what this town has to offer.”

Ah...

Um...

‘I thought I’d end up on cable’ The following. Kevin Bacon talks career choices and ending up on network television Ned Ehrbar

Metro World News in Hollywood

It’s taken surprisingly long for Kevin Bacon to find his way to the lead role in a TV drama, but he’s finally doing so with The Following, from Scream creator Kevin Williamson. And the biggest surprise, at least to Bacon, is that it’s on network television.

“I honestly thought I’d end up on cable,” says Bacon, whose wife, Kyra Sedgewick, has done well for herself in the cable world with The Closer. But Bacon doesn’t mind guessing wrong about his own career.

The Following premieres Jan. 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and CTV Two. handout

The setting here is 19th century East London and the story chronicles an atmosphere of mayhem and brutality in the wake of Jack The Ripper’s crimes.

T:12.5”

You mentioned you thought you’d end up on cable when you got to TV. Well yeah, when I first approached the idea of doing a show, yeah, I thought cable.

Well, first off I went from the idea that cable was just going to be Showtime or HBO. Premium, right? And then in the course of a year or so, that’s when it started to morph. All of a sudden I’m like, “Holy s—, Breaking Bad is off the chain!”

Look at shows that are on FX, you know. And The Closer. And now all of a sudden it’s like, “Well what about Netflix?” You just do a show and there is no network. Things have changed and morphed so much.

B:12.5”

So this one has something in it that could carry on for years, you think?

Yeah, but what do I know? A lot of times you do these types of (press events) and people talk to you a lot about, “What was the choice that went into that?” That only really makes sense if the thing is successful and embraced. Then it becomes, “Oh, that was a great choice!” I mean, look how many f---ing movies I’ve done, and how many of them are hits? Two per cent? Five per cent? Not a lot of them. So I’ve made a lot of bad choices. I’m not someone who thinks too carefully about what the longterm implications are.

S:12.5”

What did the shows you ended up not doing not have that this one has?

Well, it was a couple of things.

First off, I tried to develop two that didn’t quite get there by the time this one came along.

Sometimes they were amazing pilots and people would say to me, “Yeah, but is there really a show there?” And since I’m really not used to reading something with the eye on four years down the line or whatever, that was kind of a new thing to me. I was like, “Yeah, but it’s a great script.”

And then other things had just strange kind of network or cable politics around them that they just didn’t fall into place, and this one did. It’s hard to know.

Weather your cold.

Is Lohan working as a high-paid escort?

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly found a new way to help pay off her hefty debts.

Her father, Michael Lohan, and other sources claim that the troubled actress is making money working as a high-class escort, according to Star magazine.

“She is getting paid to date rich men,” Michael says, putting the blame squarely on his ex-wife, Dina Lohan. “Dina is pimping her out. It’s disgusting.”

But so far there are no allegations of Lindsay providing any services more intimate than acting as arm candy.

“The dates last for days,

and the guys pay for everything — hotel, travel costs,

food, whatever — as well as jewelry and other gifts,”

another source tells the magazine.

Kidman not weirded out by peeing on Zac Efron Jennifer Lopez.

Lopez chasing a new lover named Oscar Jennifer Lopez’s career is doing just fine, but there’s at least one item she still has her heart set on: an Oscar.

“I think everybody that has ever taken acting seriously would love to be recognized in that way,” Lopez tells E! News. “Of course! Why not?”

She’s even good about keeping her acceptance speech up to date, should the need for it arise.

“It changes every so often over the years,” Lopez says. “Different people, different things.”

Nicole Kidman has been getting plenty of attention for her Golden-Globe-nominated role in the Paperboy thanks to an infamous scene in which she urinates on Zac Efron.

But Kidman doesn’t get what the big deal is.

“I just don’t find urination shocking. I think I

peed in the beginning of Eyes Wide Shut, too. But then, I don’t find a lot of things shocking. Violence is a lot more shocking than sex — sex is primal,” she tells the Hollywood Reporter.

“I felt shy singing in Moulin Rouge, but peeing — no, not shy.”

Chicken and Waffles add soul to brunch

Quick eats. Good food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to take forever to prepare with this delicious recipe

LIFE

French wines are a lot like David Bowie. Just when you think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got nothing new to offer, they come out of nowhere with a brand new vibe based on their old school legacy.

While Bowie has his first album in a decade dropping in March, savvy wine lovers are rediscovering the value found across France â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in its lesser known regions like the CĂ´tes du RhĂ´ne. Though famous for Châteauneufdu-Pape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its liquid love letter to the pope â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many wine newbies are surprised to discover that the RhĂ´ne Valley is the original home of both the red syrah (a.k.a. shiraz) and grenache grape varieties.

Grenache dominates the southern portion of the valley, where the brightfruited berry makes up the majority of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blends. Most are smooth, new worldly wines with great food appeal (think everything from hearty stews and lamb to a relaxed charcuterie platter).

Famille Perrin is a regional superstar and its grenache-led 2010 CĂ´tes du RhĂ´ne RĂŠserve Rouge ($15.95 to $17.99) is rich and elegant with licorice and wild berry aromatics and a meaty, mouthfilling body ofDocket: 15 Thorncliffe Park Drive balanced blackClient: oronto Ontario fruit.

Chicken and Waffles combines the best of the breakfast and dinner worlds in one soul food dish made famous by the Southern U.S. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a whole chapter devoted to the meal in Fried Chicken: An American Story by John T. Edge.

In it, he writes that the dish goes back to the late 19th century, when Southern AfricanAmericans, recently freed from slavery, began migrating to the northern United States.

According to Edge: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My guess is that it comes from the days when someone would go out in the morning and wring a chickenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck and fry it for breakfast. Preparing a breakfast bread with whatever meat you have on the hoof, so to speak, comes out of the rural tradition.â&#x20AC;?

The fried chicken is usually served with a waffle that is covered in butter or syrup. This version, however, is more like the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch dish, which consists of a plain waffle with pulled, stewed Ingredients

chicken covered in gravy.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even easier than that when you use store-bought waffles and rotisserie chicken.

No frozen waffles handy?

You can serve this chicken and gravy over toasted slabs of sourdough bread too.

1.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil.

Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic, then sautĂŠ until the mushrooms are browned and the pan is nearly dry, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the wine and stir to de-

glaze the pan. When the wine has evaporated, stir in the cream, then bring to a simmer.

Season with salt and pepper,

then set aside.

Dual-threat dilemma for Falcons vs. Kaepernick Michael Turner’s trademark high-pitched laugh filled the Falcons’ locker room.

Asked about San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Turner grinned Thursday and said, “I’m glad I’m not on defence.”

Turner, the big running back, and the Falcons’ offence want to hold the ball and limit Kaepernick’s time on the field in Sunday’s NFC championship game.

The Falcons have seen enough in Kaepernick’s eight starts to respect the versatile quarterback with the long stride and strong right arm.

Kaepernick comes to Atlanta after running for 181 yards — an NFL record for a quarterback — with two touchdowns in last week’s win over Green Bay. He also threw for 263 yards with two touchdowns.

He became the third QB, after Otto Graham and Jay Cutler, to run and throw for at least two touchdowns in a post-season game.

The Falcons are impressed,

AFC championship •

New England gets a chance to extend its mastery in the final step to the Super Bowl on Sunday against Baltimore, the team the Patriots beat a year ago for the conference crown.

•

That win made them 4-0 in home conference title games.

even after facing such other dual-threat quarterbacks as Robert Griffin III, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson this season.

Linebacker Sean Weatherspoon says Kaepernick is unique.

“I think he’s just a different guy altogether,” Weatherspoon said. “He’s a taller guy, obviously. I think he has a lot more speed. Russell is more of a quick guy. Colin is a faster guy.”

Kaepernick’s big game last week earned him the promise of more attention from the Falcons’ defence.

“We definitely have to have somebody accounting for him,” said Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud.

Lance Armstrong confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, reversing more than a decade of denial.

“Yes,” Armstrong said when Winfrey asked if he used a series of drugs to help his record run.

Sitting in a chair across from Winfrey, Armstrong said he could not have won the race seven times without the drugs and gave a small smile.

Armstrong was stripped of all his titles in the wake of a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency re-

port last October and banned for life from competing in triathlons and other sanctioned events. He also lost nearly all of his sponsors and left the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.

The interview was taped Monday.

On Wednesday, the International Olympic Committee sent a letter to Armstrong asking him to return his bronze medal from the 2000 Olympics, just as it said it planned to do last month.

The IOC executive board discussed revoking the medal in December but delayed a decision until cycling’s gov-

Senators aim to build on surprising season Under the microscope.

Ottawa coach says another impressive campaign will earn a trip to playoffs again The Ottawa Senators arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to fly under anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar this season.

The Senators werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t predicted to make much noise in 2011-12, but they surpassed expectations by making the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference and taking the top-seeded New York Rangers to seven games in the opening round.

Everything seemed to come together for the Senators last year and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eager to build off the experience.

First-year coach Paul MacLean finally seemed to be the right fit behind the bench, captain Daniel Alfredsson remained healthy, Jason Spezza finished the league fourth in scoring, Craig Anderson was solid in goal and Erik Karlsson posted 78 points en route to winning his first Norris Trophy.

Now the Senators will attempt to combine all the pieces once again in a lockout-shortened season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have a pretty good idea where our expectations should be and what

we expect out of ourselves,â&#x20AC;?

Alfredsson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control what everybody else thinks and I hope they think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than we were last year because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure we did surprise a lot of people, but we have a pretty good idea of what kind of team we are and we know we have to work hard to be back in the playoffs.â&#x20AC;?

MacLean was more blunt about his team this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good about it, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also scared to death,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Alfredsson, now 40, believes his body can hold up to the rigours of the condensed schedule, but you can bet the Senators will be monitoring him closely.

Meanwhile other teams will be monitoring Karlsson closely after his breakout season. The defenceman finds himself with a new partner on the blue-line in Marc Methot after the Senators chose to let Filip Kuba test free agency.

Methot and Karlsson have looked good in camp, but the question remains whether or not they can find the right chemistry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a guy like him I need to put my ego aside and really just feed him the puck as much as humanly possible,â&#x20AC;? Methot said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason why he was the best defenceman in the league last season and you just have to let him make plays and the more he has the puck on his stick the more opportunity heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have.â&#x20AC;?

With a season-ending injury to Jared Cowen it would be easy to view the Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blueline as its Achilles heel.

Veteran Mike Lundin remains sidelined with a broken finger, creating opportunities for AHL players Patrick Wiercioch, Mark Borowiecki and Andre Benoit. The youngsters will likely be paired with veterans Chris Phillips and Sergei Gonchar, but expect general manager Bryan Murray to make a move should the experiment fail.

The Senators are hoping any defensive shortcomings will be smoothed over by depth in goal. While Craig Anderson comes in as the No. 1, the Senators are high on young goalies Ben Bishop and Robin Lehner.

Anderson was huge for the Senators last year, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the luxury of playing this season. Bishop and Lehner have been in action in Binghamton and both have been playing extremely well.

All three travelled to Winnipeg for the season opener

metronews.ca WEEKEND, January 18-20, 2013

Saturday, and the only hint MacLean would offer as to who would start is to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best guy plays.â&#x20AC;?

Anderson is well aware of the need for him to be successful right from the start, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not losing sleep over it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always going to be pressure, whether thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three guys, four guys or two guys,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day you have to go out and perform on the ice and my job is to go out there and give the team the opportunity to win and as long as I do my job and be positive and continue to get better Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got nothing to worry about.â&#x20AC;?

The Senators could be even better offensively this season than they were in 2011-12 when they finished seventh in the league with 166 goals.

The addition of 22-year-old rookie Jakob Silfverberg and 25-year-old Guillaume Latendresse provides the Senators with two solid lines.

Silfverberg, a former league MVP in Sweden, led the Binghamton Senators in scoring with 13 goals and 16 assists during the lockout Meanwhile, Latendresse missed much of the last two seasons to injury. He is eager to get back on the ice and prove that he can be the effective power forward the Senators have been looking for.

Northeast preview With Tim Thomas taking a break from the crease, Boston’s division crown might look ripe for the taking. But the Big Bad Bruins should still have enough firepower to hold off pushes from the comparatively young and inexperienced clubs making up the rest of the Northeast: The Canadian Press

Boston Bruins

Buffalo Sabres

Montreal Canadiens

Ottawa Senators

Toronto Maple Leafs

Last season: 49-29-4, 102 points, 2nd seed in East.

Goaltending is the question as the 2011 Cup winners start the season with veteran Tim Thomas in Colorado, taking a sabbatical from hockey. And backup Tuukka Rask may be bothered by a groin injury incurred while playing in the Czech Republic.

The Bruins should still have enough to take the Northeast Division.

Prediction: Second in East.

Last season: 39-32-11, 89 points, 9th in East.

With Ryan Miller in goal and a hard-working team in front of him there’s always a chance for a breakthrough. Derek Roy was dealt to Dallas for forward Steve Ott and defenceman Adam Pardy. The rest is mostly unchanged, with 73-point man Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek still leading the attack. If prospect Mikhail Grigorenko makes the squad, it could be an offensive boost.

Prediction: 11th in East.

Last season: 31-35-16, 78 points, 15th in East.

Top defenceman Andrei Markov’s oft-injured knee held up in the KHL during the lockout, which should help their anemic power play. Defence will be a strength in a short season as the Habs have eight ready to go.

Their top line of David Desharnais, Erik Cole and Max Pacioretty should get more support with captain Brian Gionta back from injury for the second unit.

Prediction: Ninth in East.

Last season: 41-31-10, 92 points, 8th in East.

The emergence of Erik Karlsson as a top-level puckmoving defenceman and point man compensates for the uncertainty about the future of veteran Sergei Gonchar and the loss of Jared Cowan to hip surgery.

They have decent goaltending in Craig Anderson and enough scoring to give 40-year-old Daniel Alfredsson’s swan song some style, if indeed he will ever chose to retire.

Prediction: Sixth in East.

Last season: 35-37-10, 80 points, 13th in East.

The post-Brian Burke era begins with big questions in goal and an already-thin defence likely to start without injured Jake Gardiner. The progression of the promising young talent in the organization could make a difference. Even fifth overall draft pick Morgan Reilly could start on defence. There’s scoring up front with Joffrey Lupul and Phil Kessel.

Prediction: 14th in East.

Just What have the Senators got ’stached up their sleeves in Year 2?

Last season Senators rookie coach Paul MacLean led his troops to a well-earned, but surprising, playoff berth, coming within an eyelash of defeating the No. 1-seeded Rangers. It’s a certainty that there will be no sneaking up on the opposition this time around.

How will the Senators fare in Year 2 of “the ’stache’s” reign?

Ahead is a 48-game sprint in which goaltending will be paramount. Once known as a “goalie graveyard,” Ottawa now possesses a trio of riches. Steady Craig Anderson is the anointed starter.

The Park Ridge, Ill., native is consistent as they come and exudes a quiet confidence.

Anderson was on pace to play 70 games last season until being felled by his nowfamous kitchen mishap.

Robin Lehner is having a breakthrough season in Binghamton and is primed to take control of the crease, if “Andy” falters. The feisty Swede leads the AHL with a .945 save percentage and has a miniscule 1.90 goals-against average — jaw-dropping numbers considering the B-Sens have allowed the most shots in the league.

is no slouch as the third wheel. Bishop filled in admirably last season after being acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline.

Forward depth is also another plus for the Senators.

Forty-year-old Daniel Alfredsson returns for his 17th and possibly final campaign.

Cup gold, Jason Spezza centres the top line with Milan Michalek on his left. Highlytouted rookie Jakob Silfverberg and free agent reclamation Guillaume Latendresse will receive top six minutes in the early going.

Much is expected from second-line pivot Kyle Turris.

Jakob Silfverberg

Peter Regin

The young Swede is adapting well to North American ice surfaces, notching 29 points in 34 games in AHL Binghamton. Last season’s Swedish Elite League MVP will be given an opportunity to shine after being placed on the top line, early on.

Time is of the essence for the “Great Dane.” After succumbing to consecutive season-ending shoulder surgeries, Regin will be out to show that he belongs in the NHL.

Latendresse has one year to shake his injury-prone image after appearing in only 27 games the past two seasons. Pencilled in as a top-six forward, the 25 year-old will try to repeat his 2009-10 performance that saw him net 25 goals in 55 games with the Wild.

native showed glimpses of greatness in his 49 games, but has to be stronger on the puck to be successful.

Senators fans are worried that the team may have lost some pugnacity with the losses of Matt Carkner and Zenon Konopka, but a third line of Colin Greening, Zack Smith and Chris Neil will

give opposing clubs fits.

The Senators’ Achilles Heel is the defence. Jared Cowen’s season-ending hip surgery and newcomer Mike Lundin’s fractured finger leave Ottawa with only four blue-liners with NHL experience — at least one is Norris trophy winner Erik Karlsson. Binghamton D-men

Mark Borowiecki and Patrick Wiercioch may be in the opening-night lineup, but GM Bryan Murray is working the phones to add a veteran defender.

Less than a cup won’t be enough Only one winner.

Handful of teams have gone all-in looking for chance at Stanley Cup

The pressure will be on John Tortorella to get the most from his Rangers, who added all-star forward Rick Nash to their attack after finishing first in the Eastern Conference last season. Jim McIsaac/Getty Images file

The New York Rangers made a big push in trading for Rick Nash to improve their chances of winning a championship for the first time since 1994.

“It’s the right time for him to be here with us,” Rangers coach John Tortorella said.

On the opposite side of the continent, the Vancouver Canucks can’t wait to resume the franchise’s quest for its first cup when the lockoutdelayed season starts Saturday night at home against Anaheim.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins are also feeling a sense of urgency to win it all again.

And advancing one round in the playoffs isn’t enough anymore for the Nashville Predators, who raised the stakes by matching a 14-year, $110-million contract to keep star defenceman Shea Weber.

Even though the Predators don’t have the best defensive pair in the league anymore, with Ryan Suter joining fellow free agent Zach

Parise in Minnesota, Nashville expects to try for more than just a third straight trip to the Western Conference semifinals.

“Without a doubt, the ultimate goal is the Stanley Cup,” said Weber, who was wooed by the Philadelphia Flyers with a long and lucrative offer sheet as a restricted free agent last summer.

“And to do that, you have to make the post-season. Anything can happen, as we all witnessed with Los Angeles last year.”

The Kings, seeded eighth, started by knocking off the top-seeded Canucks in the West and finished with a 6-1 rout of the New Jersey Devils in Game 6 of the final.

That’s why Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, who is hoping to help the franchise extend its post-season streak, said it’s not realistic for there to be a lot of pressure on any one team to win it all.

“The cup contenders will be the 16 teams that make the playoffs,” Holland said while watching his team prepare on the ice earlier this week for a 48-game regular season.

“The eighth seed won the Stanley Cup against the sixth from the East. The days in the

1990s and early 2000s when the top teams had easier runs in the early rounds are over.”

It won’t be pretty, though, in some cities if the results are anything short of a championship.

The Rangers made a long run in the post-season, six games into the Eastern Conference final against New Jersey.

The Rangers also played in the Eastern Conference final in 1997. Those two post-seasons are the team’s longest since beating the Canucks in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup final. That was the year before the last lockout-shortened season.

The puck drops on Saturday. Here is a look at six NHLers to watch this season: The Canadian Press

Photos by The Canadian Press/The Associated Press/Getty Images

Steven Stamkos

Rick Nash

Henrik Zetterberg

Stamkos has been a rock for Tampa Bay since the Lightning selected him with the first overall pick of the 2008 draft. He had 46 points as a rookie before blossoming as a sophomore with 51 goals and 95 points. Stamkos has kept up the pace with 91 points in 2010-11 and a careerbest 60 goals and 97 points last season.

The Broadway spotlight will be shining on the five-time all-star forward, who finally gets a crack at playing for a contender after years in Columbus. Nash was dealt to the Rangers last summer and could be the piece to get them over the hump.

Talk about big shoes to fill. Zetterberg will wear the “C” for Detroit with previous captain Nicklas Lidstrom retired.

Zetterberg is coming off a team-leading 69-point campaign. Zetterberg’s main goal is leading the Red Wings to the playoffs for the 22nd straight season.

1 3 5 Sidney Crosby

Sid’s not a kid anymore.

The Penguins centre is 25 now and hoping to stay healthy this year.

Crosby missed most of the last two seasons due to post-concussion syndrome. He posted impressive numbers in limited action last season (37 points in just 22 games) and says he’s no longer dealing with concussion-like symptoms.

Cory Schneider

The goaltending drama is an evolving soap opera in Vancouver and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

Schneider took over the starting spot from Roberto Luongo and is a good bet to see the bulk of the playing time this season. Schneider posted a 20-8-1 record last season with a 1.96 goalsagainst average. He’ll be eager to prove he deserves his status as the team’s goto guy in net.

Zach Parise

Minnesota landed top free agents Parise and Ryan Suter in the off-season, signing them to whopping $98-million US, 13-year deals. Season-ticket sales went up along with expectations. The Wild have missed the playoffs for four straight seasons. Parise gives the team a consistent offensive weapon and he thrives when the pressure is on.

Horoscopes

Aries

March 21 - April 20 Certain goals may seem to be out of your reach but they are not. The planets are urging you not just to aim high but to aim higher than ever before. All things are possible if you want them enough.

Taurus

April 21 - May 21 You seem reluctant to put your point of view across. Why is that? If you have something of value to say, you have not just a right but a responsibility to speak up. So speak up.

Gemini

May 22 - June 21 It may appear as if someone you work or do business with has been cheating you but can you be sure? The planets warn you cannot trust your senses today, so err on the side of caution and don’t make accusations.

Cancer

June 22 - July 23 You won’t have any trouble getting others to back your ideas today but you may be in trouble later on if they don’t work out the way you expected. For that reason alone make it clear there are no guarantees.

Leo

July 24 - Aug. 23 Some kind of habit is holding you back and it’s time you got past it. Simply stopping won’t do it — you’ve tried that before. The trick is to replace a bad habit by a good habit.

Virgo

Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Avoid poking fun at people in positions of power, no matter how tempting it may be.

Laughter is only the best medicine if it is the kind that everyone can share in.

Anything else could be dangerous today.

By Kelly Ann Buchanan

Crossword: Canada Across and Down

Libra

Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Don’t take what you are told at face value. Check the facts for yourself. What others say may sound convincing but more likely it’s just self-serving. Do your homework and avoid making costly mistakes.

Scorpio

Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You may be resentful that changes of one sort or another have been forced on you but there is no point making a fuss.

The best you can do is to go with the flow and not draw attention to yourself.

Sagittarius

Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Resist the temptation to talk up the facts as others may see that as a form of deception. It may be easy enough to do but in the long-term you will regret it.

Protect your reputation for honesty at all costs.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 The planets warn that your powers of intuition are on the blink and not to be trusted, at least for the next 24 hours.

Stick to what you know to be true and in other matters be exceptionally cautious.

Aquarius

Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Try not to let your fears get out of hand over the next 24 hours.

Take your mind off your worries by focusing on all the things you have to be thankful for. That should keep you busy for a while.
