The Canadian navy boarded a cargo ship off British Columbia on Thursday carrying hundreds of migrants believed to be Tamils from Sri Lanka. Some of the migrants may include dozens of children, says Lorne Waldman, a lawyer who represented many of the Sri Lankan migrants that arrived in a similar way last October. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews immediately labelled some of the 490 passengers on the ship “human smugglers and terrorists,” although he didn’t elaborate. He used the ship’s arrival to promise swift action from Ottawa. “The Canadian government is taking action,” Toews said in the statement. “Human smugglers and human traffickers are now watching Canada’s response to judge whether or not they can continue to take advantage of us.” Toews said the government will be sending a message “loud and clear” that human smugglers will be prosecuted, though he provided no details.

The jobless, dog days of summer Report shows 20% of Canadian university students were unable to find work this summer Undergraduate tuition this fall averages around $6,200 in Ontario The whole reason Alicia Ali took two courses this summer was to have a lighter load in her final year — and she took them at night, so she could make money by day. But four months and some 20 resumes later, the McMaster University student hasn’t made “a single penny” and will have to get a part-time job this fall, “which defeats the purpose of taking those courses. “Honestly, I tried everything to get work, from
mall job to waitress to receptionist. Maybe it’s the economy, but as a student you feel like you’re the bottom rung of the ladder,” said the Whitby political science major. As the end of summer looms, Ali belongs to the 20 per cent of Canadian university students who were unable to find work this summer, according to a new report by a Torontobased think tank on higher learning. The survey of some 5,000

courses because they can’t find work or while they look for work — like Ali — so the two shouldn’t rule each other out, noted co-author Miriam Kramer of Higher Education Strategy Associates. “We need to raise public consciousness of the difficulty some students experience getting work.” University of Waterloo graduate Chanel Chien could not find work all summer, despite passing out more than 50 resumes for

Mayoral candidate Rob Ford, who has surged ahead of his rivals in the mayoral race, according to a new poll, was chastised Thursday for his allegations that city hall is corrupt.
Surging Ford gets scolding from city hall Ford has 65.7% support from federal Tory voters, 36.8% from Liberals, 20% from New Democrats: Poll Rob Ford now holds a commanding lead in the mayoral race, taking 37.6 per cent of the decided vote in a recent poll released Thursday. Numbers from Pollstra Research show George Smitherman’s campaign seems to have stalled; once neck-and-neck with Ford, he came second with 28.7 per cent, while Joe Pantalone was third with 15.5 per cent. Rounding out the poll was Sarah Thomson (10.3 per cent) and Rocco Rossi (7.9 per cent). But the good news for Ford may be tempered by

Ford was quoted in a local newspaper as saying that the recent award of an untendered 20-year contract to Boardwalk Pub operator Tuggs Inc. “stinks to high heaven.” He referred specifically to closed-doors discussions, called “in-camera” meetings, alleging, “these in-camera meetings, there’s more corruption and skullduggery going on in there than I’ve ever seen in my life.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
New wireless player Wind Mobile says it has attracted more than 100,000 subscribers in its first six months in a market that’s experiencing growth and increased competition. Wind Mobile has taken away customers from established players Rogers, Bell and Telus, Wind Mobile chairman Anthony Lacavera said Thursday. “There’s a huge trend toward smartphones and data use,” Lacavera said. “I think it’s predominantly smartphone customers,” he said of Wind’s

subscriber base. Wind Mobile launched last December in Toronto and also operates in Van-
couver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. BMO Capital Markets telecom analyst Peter Rhamey said he expected Wind to garner about 60,000 subscribers. While Wind’s subscribers have exceeded analyst expectations, Deloitte Canada analyst Duncan Stewart said it would be interesting to know how many are “steals” from the major players and how many are new customers who didn’t have mobile phones previously.

Storey proposal batted down An application by Urban Capital Property Group to add six more storeys to a building it is developing near Yonge and Bloor streets was refused by the committee of adjustment Wednesday. The property at 75 St. Nicholas St. is to remain a 29-storey condominium, potentially leaving in the lurch buyers of some of the units planned for those extra floors. The developers had originally applied to build a 44storey building on the property in 2008; the city approved a 29-storey building last fall instead. Urban Capital requested six more storeys in May and was not heard until Wednesday. According to Anita MacLeod, manager of the Toronto and East York committee of adjustment, the request was refused be-

A spokesperson for Urban Capital was unavailable to comment. When the Toronto Star reached the Nicholas Presentation Centre on Thursday, an employee who refused to give his name said several units in the proposed six storeys have been sold.

Rumour has it the Brampton plant will begin building a small number of Fiat’s Lancia-brand luxury vehicles beginning in 2012. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, who is notoriously secretive, has said he hasn’t ruled out manufacturing Fiats in Brampton, including Alfa Romeobrand vehicles. The Brampton plant currently builds the Chrysler 300C, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger. It’s running on two shifts and has about 800 workers on layoff.

Khadr’s lawyer faints in court
WEEKEND, AUGUST 13-15, 2010
McGuinty addresses health agencies
GSP. Lab
Medical issue could delay trial U.S. special forces soldier testifies he shot Toronto-born Khadr during raid The war-crimes trial of Omar Khadr was thrown into disarray late Thursday after his defence lawyer collapsed in front of shocked participants in the courtroom and was taken to hospital. Lt.-Col. Jon Jackson was taken from the Guantanamo Bay courthouse by ambulance and was on morphine for the pain, possibly related to recent gall-bladder surgery.
Bryan Broyles, deputy chief defence counsel with the Office of Military Commissions, said Jackson might need to be flown to the U.S. for treatment. That raised the spectre of a lengthy delay in the proceedings. The incident occurred almost at the end of the day as Jackson, Khadr’s Pentagon-appointed lawyer, was cross-examining a witness who testified to shooting
Khadr twice in the back eight years ago. Khadr’s Edmonton-based lawyer, Dennis Edney, has no standing in the U.S. military court, and Khadr recently fired his American civilian lawyers. That left only Jackson to defend him of a charge that could see him imprisoned for life. “Omar Khadr has one attorney, that is Lt.-Col. Jon Jackson,” Broyles said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks are an important way to get local input on critical healthcare decisions, but they need to do a better job of consulting their communities, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Thursday. It was the first time McGuinty commented on the LHINs since ombudsman Andre Marin issued a scathing report Tuesday accusing local health agencies of holding “illegal” secret meetings to discuss plans to restructure hospital services and close emergency rooms.

CENSUS DEBATE
Council pushes for reversal The National Statistics Council is urging the Harper government to reverse its decision to make the long-form census voluntary. The group applauds the Tories for moving to eliminate the threat of jail for anyone who refuses to fill out mandatory federal surveys, but
WEEKEND, AUGUST 13-15, 2010
it is still pushing for a full reversal. It suggests the tweaks announced Wednesday by Industry Minister Tony Clement amount to an admission it’s wrong to turn the compulsory long-form census into a voluntary survey. Clement announced that questions on language skills will be added to the obligatory short-form census — a move aimed at placating a francophone group that has gone to court to block elimination of the longer census.

Nuclear reactor set to resume
Canadians missing out on savings
The troubled Chalk River nuclear reactor is poised to resume isotope production after a 15-month hiatus. Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. says it expects to have the Ontario reactor up and running this month. The 53-year-old reactor supplied a third of the world’s medical isotopes.
Registered Education Savings Plans can help a family sock away thousands of dollars toward postsecondary education, but a big lack of awareness has meant few Canadians take advantage of the savings vehicles, and the program is only being used to a fraction of its potential.

Little Leaguers go ‘wild’ in post-game brawl Tensions ran high for week before championships Heckling by members of a team from Quebec sitting in the stands at the Canadian Senior Little League Championships escalated into a brawl Thursday with players on the host team from Saint John, N.B., police said. Sgt. Pat Bonner of Saint John police said the brawl erupted after tensions all week long between players — aged 15 and 16 — on the teams from Valleyfield, Que., and Saint John. Members of the Valleyfield team were in the stands at Memorial Field, he said, heckling as Saint John played Edmonton in the semi-final. After Edmonton won the game 1-0, he said play-
“It just went crazy all so quickly and you weren’t really sure who was fighting and who was trying to pull people off.” NORAH SULLIVAN-O’TOOLE
ers from Saint John jumped a fence. “That’s when the fight broke out,” he said. Bonner said a woman in her 70s fell to the ground as a result of the melee of people “grabbing and shoving.” She was taken to hospital as a precaution, but Bonner said no one was seriously injured.
Norah Sullivan-O’Toole was watching the game when she said some members of the Quebec team began hurling obscenities. “It was trash talk that just went wild,” said Sullivan-O’Toole. After being heckled for seven innings then losing the game, she said some players “just lost it.” She said her husband tried to stop a Saint John player from confronting the other team, but he was pulled back by other nonuniformed young people. Neither Saint John or Valleyfield made the final. Little League Canada says it is reviewing what happened. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Undercover texts common Canadians limit Internet use more than neighbours Checking email under the covers or between bites of food? It may seem a bit extreme, but a survey by search engine Yahoo found that it’s a digital habit. The survey found that just 27 per cent of Canadians ban using the Internet at meal times and while they’re in bed. Americans are even more lax about Internet use in bed with only 19 per cent saying they impose a ban, while 22 per cent responded they ban its use at meal times, said Heather
Cabot, Yahoo’s Web Life editor. “It seems like Canadians have more boundaries and seem to be a little bit more concerned about separating their online and off-line time and making sure they reserve time for both,� Cabot said. The survey found that 33 per cent of Canadians and 41 per cent of Americans check their email as soon as they wake up. Cabot said people are more connected than they were 15 years ago.
per cent of 27 Canadians ban the Internet at meals. “I think in many ways it has brought us closer together,� she said of Internet use. She noted how people can stay in touch with family and friends as events are unfolding. Yahoo surveyed 1,510 online Canadians between the ages of 25 and 64 to find out how the Internet has changed the lives of consumers. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Law enforcement officials leave a hair salon in Gentry, Ark., after the business was allegedly robbed by a man and woman early on Wednesday.
Fugitive hunt fizzles in U.S. Investigators have searched cross-country for elusive duo Witnesses say latest heist wasn’t them Law enforcement officers descended on back roads and densely wooded terrain in northwest Arkansas, following a lead that apparently took them nowhere. Word had spread that a local beauty salon may have been robbed by a couple who fancy themselves a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde and have eluded capture since a brazen Arizona prison break. Officers in body armour and camouflage pored over
‘Bonnie & Clyde’ McCluskey broke out of a medium-security prison in the Arizona desert on July 30. Investigators have been searching for McCluskey and Welch, who is his fiancée and cousin.

took over the church parking lot. Residents gossiped but were on guard, knowing the pair being sought was suspected in a bloody, multistate crime spree. It may have been all for naught. By evening, officials said their investigation gave them “no reason to believe” that John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch had pulled off the heist at the Kut & Kurl salon in Gentry, Ark.

$210M facelift planned for CFB Borden Canadian military recruit training centre to get new housing MacKay says work will benefit economy SEAN KILPATRICK/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Call it stimulus in uniform. Defence Minister Peter MacKay announced more infrastructure improvements Thursday for the country’s military recruit training centre. Canadian Forces Base Borden, near Barrie, Ont., will get a series of buildings, including housing and a new military police training academy. MacKay said construction work will benefit the local economy as the country continues its economic recovery. Combined with previously announced construction work, the federal government is now committed to investing $210 million in the camp.

CFB Borden, which is nearly a century old, is credited as the birthplace of the Canadian air force. Canadian pilots first began training there during the
First World War. The purchase of new planes and tanks usually grab headlines, but accessto-information documents show many of Canada’s military bases are in greater need of upgrade and repair. MacKay said the investment is also necessary because of the government’s commitment to expand the military to 70,000 regular force members. “We’re hiring more people (and) we have to have the accommodations and the training facilities — places where they work, train and raise their families,” MacKay said.

Gay marriages in California by next week?

Defenders of Proposition 8 say they intend to block the marriages Gay-marriage ban passed in late 2008 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The federal judge who struck down California’s gay marriage ban said Thursday that same-sex weddings can resume next week unless an appeals court intervenes before then. The news raised hopes among gay couples that they soon could tie the knot after years of agonizing delays. “We just want equal rights. We’re tired of being second-class citizens,” said Amber Fox, 35, who went to the Beverly Hills Municipal Courthouse on Thursday morning in hopes of marrying her partner. The couple wed in Massachusetts in June, but wanted

to make it official in their home state. The Foxes left the courthouse without exchanging vows after the ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge
Vaughn Walker in a case many believe is destined for the Supreme Court. Walker decided to give gay marriage opponents until next Wednesday to ask the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block same-sex weddings while it decides their appeal. If the appeals court chooses not to get involved, Walker said county clerks may begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. Walker last week struck down the state’s gay-marriage ban, known as Proposition 8, saying that the voter-approved law is unconstitutional. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ex-dictator sworn in as president ANDRES LEIGHTON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bouterse’s return to power has many wondering if the country will return to human-rights violations and become a major drug outlet
Suriname’s President Desi Bouterse attends a military parade after his swearing-in ceremony in Paramaribo, Suriname, Thursday.
A former coup leader, convicted drug trafficker and accused murderer swore to uphold the country’s laws at his inauguration ceremony Thursday without mentioning con-
cerns in Suriname and abroad about his return to power — this time through the democratic process. President Desi Bouterse pledged in a speech to
fight corruption and help impoverished communities in the vast rainforest hinterland of South America’s smallest nation. Bouterse did not address his history as Suri-

WikiLeaks warning sparks U.S. anger PETER MACDIARMID/GETTY IMAGES
WikiLeaks frontman Julian Assange warned Thursday his organization is preparing to release the rest of the secret Afghan war documents it has on file. The Pentagon warned that would be more damaging to security and risk more lives than the organization’s initial release of some 76,000 war documents.
That extraordinary disclosure laid bare classified military documents covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010. It angered U.S. officials, energized critics of the NATO-led campaign, and drew the attention of the Taliban, which has promised to use the material to track down people it considers traitors.
Julian Assange has warned of more disclosures.
The whistle-blower group has said the remaining documents are being held back from publication so that it could comb through them to ensure Afghan lives were not put at risk. The Pentagon described the prospective publication as the “height of irresponsibility.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Road of rage About 300 villagers yelled “death to the United States” and blocked a main road in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday. They swore U.S. forces had killed innocent villagers. NATO forces denied this, saying they killed suspected insurgents.

Old, alone and forgotten JUNJI KUROKAWA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scandal of Japan’s lost seniors The plight of old people in rapidly-greying Japan has reached scandal proportions. The nation has been jolted by sad tales of old people, isolated and forgotten, simply slipping out of touch with society. Police discovered that Sogen Kato, who would have been 111, had actually been dead for 32 years, his decayed and partially mummified body still in his home. The woman listed as Tokyo’s oldest, Fusa Furuya, born in 1897, is also missing. Her last registered residence was long ago converted into a vacant lot.
In Kobe, officials are trying to track down more than 100 unaccounted-for centenarians. Japan has 40,399 people 100 or older, latest figures show. Crime, alcoholism and suicide among the elderly are rising because of low incomes, unstable employment and poor living conditions. “People used to take care of their aging parents. But with rapid changes in lifestyles, the very idea of taking care of one’s parents seems to be waning,” said Katsuya Inoue, a professor at Tsukuba University.
An elderly woman walks by a shrine in Tokyo. Japan prides itself on the world’s longest life expectancy, but is struggling with shocking revelations about missing old folks and neglected seniors.

Man feeling much better after surgery removes vegetable
Doctors found a pea growing in Ron Sveden’s lung.
The doctor confirmed the good news for Ron Sveden once the mass in his left lung came back from the lab: He didn’t have cancer. He had a pea sprouting inside his chest. It was a long way from the diagnosis Sveden, 75, had feared when he arrived at Cape Cod Hospital at the end of May. The former teacher, who also had spent years running a retail fish market and smokehouse, had seen his already-frail health begin to falter further in prior months. He already knew he had emphysema, but lately was having bad coughing spells. His doctors decided their best option was to go inside and see for themselves. “There was a lot of inflammation there and I thought, OK, there's a tumour at the bottom of this,” said Dr. Jeff Spillane, who went in with a scope.
“A couple of days in a dark, wet environment, I’d sprout too.” DR. JEFF SPILLANE
But the more Spillane probed at the encrusted mass, the clearer it became that it was no tumour. “It was pretty grungy, but it looked like a pea,” Spillane said. “I sent it to the pathologist. They said it was a vegetable.” It took less than half an hour to clear away the sprout, drain some of the fluid that had built up around it, and help restore the lung's capacity. After his surgery in June, Sveden spent three weeks in the hospital and a week in rehab. He said he feels fine now and is still amazed that something as small as a pea could create such a big health headache. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Iran airs alleged confession Iranian state television broadcast a purported confession by a woman who had faced death by stoning on an adultery conviction, a case that has drawn U.S. concern, an offer of asylum from Brazil and international protests. Human Rights Watch
says Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, was first convicted in May 2006 of having an “illicit relationship” with two men after the death of her husband and was sentenced by a court to 99 lashes. Later that year she was also convicted of adultery
and sentenced to be stoned, even though she retracted a confession that she claims was made under duress. Iran lifted the stoning sentence for the time being after international outrage over the brutality of the punishment. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Liberals in mourning after tragic accident JAKE WRIGHT/THE CANADIAN PRESS
There’s a gaping hole in Michael Ignatieff’s inner circle following the sudden death of his communications director in a motorcycle accident. Mario Lague was on his way into work Thursday at the Liberal leader’s office when he was involved in a collision with an SUV. His death comes just three days after Ignatieff’s principal secretary, Jean Marc Fournier, resigned to take up a post in Quebec Premier Jean Charest’s cabinet.
Ignatieff, who was in Iqaluit as part of his summer-long, cross-country tour, issued a statement expressing his “great sadness” at Lague’s death. “A man of many talents and accomplishments, Mario was a beloved member of our staff and a valued personal adviser to me and the entire Liberal team,” Ignatieff said. “While we will miss Mario’s extensive talents, we will miss most of all his warmth.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
Loss Lague, a 52-year-old father of two, was a former senior federal bureaucrat and onetime ambassador to Costa Rica. Other vehicle Police said the 49-year-old SUV driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital. Charges They said charges may be laid pending the outcome of their investigation.

Cops nab suspect in stabbing spree A suspect in a string of 20 stabbings that terrorized people across three states and left five dead was arrested in front of startled passengers at an airport gate as he tried to board a plane for Israel, officials said Thursday. A judge in Flint, Mich., where the attacks began in late May, signed a warrant Thursday charging Elias Abuelazam, 33, with assault with intent to murder in connection with a July 27 stabbing. Antwoine Marshall, 26,
Bail denied in abuse convictions
of Flint, the victim of that attack, told The Associated Press that the FBI visited him at 3 a.m. to show him a picture of the man arrested in Atlanta, and he identified him as the assailant. Marshall said he was going into his apartment when the assailant asked for help fixing his car, and he was stabbed twice when he opened the hood. Three of his organs were cut during the attack, leaving a long scar. Authorities still don’t know the motive.
A man who is waiting to be sentenced after he was convicted of sexually molesting two boys in the 1970s was denied bail in a Halifax court Thursday.

Extradition MacIntosh was extradited from India in 2007 to face the charges, which date back 15 years. Trial At his trial in Port Hawkesbury, the victims testified that the abuse occurred in the former businessman’s vehicles prior to 1974. At the time, MacIntosh lived in Cape Breton.
Poultry top culprit in food poisoning Cooking chicken on the grill this summer? Be careful. Health officials say poultry continues to be the leading culprit in food poisoning outbreaks. Chicken, turkey and other poultry accounted for 17 per cent of the foodborne illness outbreaks reported to the U.S. government. Beef and leafy vegetables were close behind, at 16 per cent and 14 per cent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the data Thurs-
day, based on reports from 48 states and Puerto Rico in 2007. But experts said these numbers represent only a fraction of U.S. foodborne illnesses. Several things can cause an outbreak. For example, an infected person might contaminate the food while handling it. Or contaminated food may be left out at room temperature for hours, allowing bacteria to multiply. It may not be cooked enough to kill the bacteria. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

news BMO tells the government to continue stimulus The global recovery is so fragile that many industrialized countries may need more government stimulus rather than an exit strategy to reign in deficits, the Bank of Montreal said Thursday. In the wake of a week of negative economic news all pointing to a stalling recovery, the bank says many economies, and particularly the United States, should put fiscal restraint on the back burner for now. Even in Canada, where the situation is not as dire, governments should not be adamant that next March will mark the end of stimulus spending, the bank says. “The wrong diagnoses at this point could lead economic policy-makers astray with potentially-disastrous consequences,” BMO deputy chief economist Douglas Porter wrote

Stimulus needed After a strong initial rebound from recession beginning last fall, both the U.S. and Canadian economies have slowed sharply. Europe, as a whole, has shown almost no growth, although some countries are in recovery. Last Friday, Canada and the U.S. reported a retreat from employment gains, and on Wednesday, both said their trade deficits ballooned in June. The weakness appears to be more evident by the day. The U.S. said Thursday initial jobless claims rose to the highest level since February last week to 484,000, when analysts had been predicting a drop.

Says Premier Jean Charest has sent a letter objecting to the application for a marine cable to ship energy ADRIAN WYLD/THE CANADIAN PRESS
Two governments in Atlantic Canada scolded Premier Jean Charest on Thursday for interfering in their energy plans, with Premier Danny Williams accusing Quebec of showing “unmitigated gall” by objecting to its financing application for a subsea transmission line for power from Labrador. Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia are trying to get funding for a subsea cable to ship surplus power from Labrador across the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Breton. Williams says they’ve applied for funds from a federal infrastructure program designed to promote public-private projects.
Premier Danny Williams
“We have been informed that a letter has gone from the province of Quebec, perhaps, I think, under the signature of the Premier Jean Charest, objecting to the application,” Williams said. “I mean, the unmitigated gall of the
province of Quebec to not stick to their own business, to basically stick their nose in the affairs of Atlantic Canada.” Williams has long accused Quebec of trying to block development of the Lower Churchill hydroelectric project in Labrador by denying access to its transmission lines because it wants to protect HydroQuebec’s interests. Two months ago, Williams said he was tired of Quebec’s “patronizingly colonial attitude” when it comes to the development of the Lower Churchill, a megaproject that Newfoundland says would generate three million megawatts of electricity.

For the right price, the picturesque Ram Island Ledge Lighthouse can be yours. The 22-meter conical light tower a mile off Cape Elizabeth, Maine, is being auctioned by the federal government. The property is hard to get to, located on a waveswept rocky ledge. But the views are to die for, and the lighthouse oozes history — a reminder of an era gone by when lighthouse keepers lived in isolation manning kerosene lamps and foghorns to keep mariners safe.

Is the world facing a climate calamity? THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
‘No time to waste’ as summit gears up to fight global warming Floods, fires, melting ice and feverish heat: From smoke-choked Moscow to water-soaked Pakistan and the High Arctic, the planet is having a midsummer breakdown. It’s a sign of troubling climate change already under way, scientists say. The weather-related cataclysms of July and August fit patterns predicted by climate scientists, says the Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization. The experts see an urgent need for better ways to forecast extreme events like Russia’s heat wave and the record deluge devastating Pakistan. They’ll discuss such tools in meetings this month and next in Europe and America, under United Nations, U.S. and British government sponsorship. “There is no time to waste,” because societies must be equipped to deal with global warming, says British government climatologist Peter Stott.
Wacky weather Storms and heat have left many parts of the world reeling. Three examples: Russia: It has been the hottest summer ever recorded in Russia with Moscow temperatures topping 38 C for the first time. China: The worst floods in decades have hit the northwest province of Gansu. There, floods and landslides have killed 1,100. Six hundred are missing. Arctic: A chunk of ice the size of Manhattan has broken off the Petermann Glacier in Greenland’s far northwest. In the Arctic ocean, the summer melt has reached unprecedented proportions.

U.S. Marines battle floods A shipload of U.S. Marines and helicopters arrived to boost relief efforts in flooded Pakistan on Thursday. But Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said his country needs more international help to cope with one of the worst natural disasters in its history. The United Nations warned the crisis is far from over, saying dams in Sindh province could still burst in the coming days. More rain fell around the country, and monsoon season is forecast to last several weeks still.
UN officials estimate up to a quarter of the country is or has been affected by the floods, though those areas were not necessarily under water. The government has been sharply criticized for a slow and patchy response to the floods, which have killed 1,500 people and left an estimated seven million people needing emergency assistance, their homes destroyed, damaged or inundated with muddy water and unlivable.

Embattled steward says he wants to return to work Slater faces charges of criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and trespassing His boyfriend says he is a “lovely, classy and beautiful person.” LOUIS LANZANO/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Is Steven Slater a hero? Steven Slater’s abrupt exit from the plane almost instantly turned him into an online hero, with many people saying
Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater, middle, is led from a Bronx correctional facility to an awaiting van by an ABC field producer after posting bail, Tuesday, in New York.
The fed-up flight attendant who set a new standard for quitting when he abandoned his job via an emergency chute apparently isn’t as much of a quitter as everyone thought. Steven Slater, 38, said through his lawyer Thursday that he loves flying
and wants to go back to work. “His hope is to return to the aviation business,” his attorney, Howard Turman, told reporters as Slater stood by his side outside his home in Queens. Flying, he added, “is in his blood.”
Slater’s career appeared to crash and burn Monday when he went onto the public address system after a JetBlue flight from Pittsburgh, cursed out a passenger he said had treated him rudely, and then made an I’m-outta-here exit down an emergency
chute at Kennedy Airport. He was later arrested. Asked about Slater’s desire to return to work, JetBlue spokesman Mateo Lleras said: “As of right now, he has been released of duty pending the investigation. There’s nothing more I can say.”
Slater’s actions have prompted an outpouring of support from people who have fantasized about making a similar exit from an unpleasant job, although passengers have come forward in the past couple of days to criticize him as brusque and cranky throughout the 90-minute trip. One passenger portrayed Slater as the instigator, saying he cursed without provocation at a woman who had asked about her bag. Slater would not talk about his actions Thursday. He smiled silently for most of the 10-minute news conference, then offered a brief thanks to the public, saying, “It’s been amazing, the support and love ... everything that’s been brought to me.” Turman said the entire affair can be blamed on a “lack of civility on the part of one passenger.” After the plane landed, he and other travellers heard Slater and other crew members repeatedly instruct a passenger to remain seated until the jet reached the gate. Slater ultimately had to leave his seat to get the person to sit down. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
they’ve dreamed of walking off the job in such a grand fashion. More than 100,000 people had joined a Facebook page supporting his actions. Slater’s ex-wife came to his defence Thursday. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Check your luggage Some passengers said he had a large cut or welt on his head — sustained, his lawyer said, when he tried to help a passenger with a bag too big for the overhead bins. ‘What?’ Lauren Dominijanni, 25, of Pittsburgh, said that during the trip, when she asked Slater for a wipe to clean up coffee that had been spilled on her seat, he rolled his eyes, blurted an exasperated “What?” and gestured to the gash on his head. He then told her he needed to take care of himself first, she said. Snackless Other passengers said throughout the flight, he slammed galley doors and overhead bins unnecessarily and put an apparent early end to snack service. Common? Others said until Slater’s intercom rant, his interactions appeared curt, but not unusually so. Bag A radio executive for Westwood One overheard Slater telling a passenger at the start of the flight that her bag wouldn’t fit in the overhead bin.

DOUBLE THANK-YOU IS SINCERE IN THE GLOBAL FREE TRADE MARKET Other people’s money
DAVID DESCÔTEAUX
Heard on a bus: “When two people exchange goods and money, one wins and the other loses. Otherwise, there would be no profit.”
T
his reasoning is more common than we might think. And sometimes justifies the hostility to commerce, or free trade. After all, if capitalist pigs profit, the poor suffer, right? Wrong. The other day, I paid $2 for a bottle of juice. When the clerk said, “Thank
you,” I responded, “Thank you.” This is more than just a social oddity. There’s an economics lesson behind this weird double thank-you moment. Why does it happen? Because I want the juice more than the bucks, and the store wants the bucks more than the juice. Both of us win. Two people trade because each wants what the other has more than what he already has. (Remember trading hockey cards?) If one gained and the other lost, the loser wouldn’t trade. We experience the double thank-you moment each time we hit the checkout line in a clothing store, or leave a restaurant, says journalist John Stossel, who coined the “double thank-you moment” phrase. Trade is win-win — even if you’re buying from someone in another country. Exports and imports
exist only because of political borders.
“Two people trade because each wants what the other has more than what he already has.”
But borders are either accidents of history or the results of politicians’ arbitrary decisions. Do you know if Toronto runs a trade deficit with Hamilton? No. Because nobody cares. There are no imports and exports. There’s only what you make and what everyone else makes. Protectionism — taxing foreign goods — is just a tool for politicians to protect their business buddies by preventing us from trading with someone (a foreigner) who offers us a
better deal. As economist Sheldon Richman points out, in trade matters — as in so much else — two words mislead us: “we” and “them.” We do not trade with them. Canada does not trade with Japan, or Mexico, or any other group. I trade with you. You trade with me. Smith trades with Nguyen. Individuals trade with individuals. If the economy continues to tank, governments will be sorely tempted to block foreign products by taxing them. That would be a mistake. When left free, people trade across borders naturally. Buyers and sellers both benefit. “Thank you.” “Thank you.” David Descôteaux is a freelance economic journalist and an associate researcher at the Montreal Economic Institute.

It’s been hectic. Being on the show, you’re in this bubble and you don’t realize how much support you have, so coming out of it I wasn’t expecting to be so busy. But it’s been absolutely amazing. I get to see the world.
What have some of the highlights been?
I got to choreograph and be the main dancer in a Theo Tams video, and I did my first magazine cover for Verve Girl — as a dancer you don’t expect to do magazine work, so that was really exciting. (Boyfriend) Vincent (Desjardins) and I taught and performed in India. That experience changed our lives! And we just got back from Paris on Tuesday. Do you think you can you build on the show’s momentum to create a lifelong career?
Yes! Oh my goodness, for
sure. What the show gives you is the confidence, the strength, the mentality — it changes you so much as a person because it’s probably going to be the most difficult thing you ever go through in your life. What made it so difficult?
Just the pressure and the stress. You’re dancing for 3.5 million people and you’re doing what you love, but you’re also out of your comfort zone because you’re doing styles you’ve never done before. Still, at the end of the day you just have to remind yourself that it’s
all for the love of dance. Why do you think it’s so hard to make dancing a career?
First of all there’s not a lot of work here, and Canadians are too nice. So we’ll get cut from something and we won’t go back because our mentality tells us we can’t do it. You need a tough skin, and you can’t take things personally because the reason you didn’t get hired may have been nothing more than your hair colour. It’s not just about talent, because all dancers have talent; it’s about mentality, belief. JORDANA DIVON

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
The Switch isn’t your average romantic comedy. It’s about single woman (Jennifer Aniston) who seeks out a sperm donor rather than waiting for Mr. Right. Then her best friend (Jason Bateman) accidentally spills the sample and replaces it himself, making them unconventional parents who fall for each other later. Not exactly a plot that could have been recycled from a 1960s rom-com. “That’s why the script jumped out at me immediately,” Jennifer Aniston told Metro. “I know many women who have gone through the struggles, heartbreaks and frustrations of fertility. So this is about something very timely and progressive. Plus it also has a love story woven through it that I think is beautiful.”
Bateman speaking his mind On the never-ending Arrested Development movie rumours “Yesterday somebody said, ‘You and Jen should keep working together. How about the Arrested Development movie?’ and I responded, ‘Actually there’s a great role for her, I’m going to pitch her.’ I was just having fun, but there were about 25 headlines this morning on crappy blogs saying Jennifer has signed onto the movie. It’s frustrating and I hate talking about it

ing to cram that into what was written though,” remarked the actor. Aniston and Bateman seem to share a genuine friendship both on and off screen. This, of course, begs the age-old question about whether men and women can only be friends. Aniston laughed before responding with a dismissive, “Of course,” but Bateman had a different point of view. “I feel like a guy and a girl can be best friends as long as at least one of them is in a relationship,” says the actor. “But as soon as both are single, start the clock, soak it in booze, and watch things happen.”

Eat Pray Love
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is best described as a hyperkinetic loveletter to eight-bit gaming, indie rock, young love, kung fu movies, Toronto and…ok, maybe it’s hard to describe. Based on the graphic novel by Bryan Lee O’Malley, the film is a pop culture-soaked romantic comedy about a boy who falls for a girl and must de-
Genre: Drama Director: Ryan Murphy Stars: Julia Roberts 88
There’s a lot wrong with the film adaptation of bestseller Eat Pray Love. It’s a completely self-indulgent exploration of upper-middle-class dissatisfaction, it condescends to native cultures and eastern spirituality and it never adequately identifies just what problems protagonist Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is struggling with. But none of that is the fault of Roberts or director and cowriter Ryan Murphy. The movie is well-shot, with sumptuous visuals and exciting camera work, and Roberts does her best to make Gilbert likeable or at least relateable. No, the real problems are with the source material. The story goes that Gilbert walks away from her flighty husband (Billy
The Expendables Crudup) because of an undefined sense of lack, shacks up with an actor (James Franco) and then ditches him, hijacking his obnoxious affinity for an Indian guru and taking off on a year-long journey of self-discovery and indulgence.

older Brazilian man (Javier Bardem) in Bali while basically using the locals as fashionable accessories. About the only thing Murphy can be blamed for is the running time. The movie clocks in at a leisurely 140 minutes, and there’s really no excuse for that. In each of the three locations, there are points where the story lags. It’s basically almost two and a half hours of “but I’ve never been to me.” NED EHRBAR Blakeson crafts his story with a firm grasp of suspense and careful characterization. Each actor is given a strong role to chew on and delivers a remarkable performance (particularly Gemma Arterton). This surprising British thriller instantly qualifies as one of the best films of 2010 and should not be allowed to slip through theatres unnoticed. PHIL BROWN through entrepreneurism in the comedy-drama Soul Kitchen. Surprised by an inspection, Zinos is given mere days to revive the dive’s standards by taking on a colourful, hard-boiled chef.

Genre: Action Director: Sylvester Stallone Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham 88 1⁄2
More kitschy than captivating, The Expendables is Sly Stallone’s latest foray into mining his glory years for success in contemporary Hollywood. And why not?

Vincent Cassel (La Haine, Irreversible, and Le Sheitan) is a superstar in France whose status sadly never crossed the pond. Mesrine is a huge two-part crime epic made to capitalize on his fame and acting ability that delivers more thrills, kills, bloody spills, and disturbing drama than a dozen Hollywood crime movies. This first chapter chronicles real life criminal Jacques Mesrine’s rise through the French underworld in the 1960s before having to flee the country and spend some time in a vicious French-Canadian prison.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work Genre: Documentary Directors: Ricki Stern, Anne Sundberg 888 1⁄2
The title suggests what we suspect, that as funny as Joan Rivers is, she harbours a dark side that will claw its way to success, grinding to powder anything in her path. True in a way.

Director Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz) was assigned to bring the comic to the big screen and anyone whose seen his previous movies knows that he has an ADD sense of pacing and visual storytelling that makes him perfect for the material. For the most part this is style over substance entertainment. Fortunately, that style is exquisitely executed, so it doesn’t really matter. PHIL BROWN dead franchise (what was left anyhow? Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot 2?). Instead, Stallone fuses together the likes of seasoned ’80s action stars like Dolph Lundgren and Bruce Willis with today’s top draws (including Jet Li and Jason Statham) to form a band of mercenaries hired to bring down a South American dictatorship. For audiences who have kept a special place in their heart for old style shoot ‘em ups and the likes of Lundgren, The Expendables is a guilty delight. STEVE GOW Animal Kingdom Genre: Drama Director: David Michod Stars: Jackie Weaver 888
Australian director David Michod’s Animal Kingdom works its titular metaphor for all its worth: the criminal clan at its centre is depicted as a feral, incestuous tangle of alpha males, lorded over by a crafty matriarch (Jacki Weaver). The question is whether our teenaged protagonist (James Frecheville) will assume his place in the pack or transcend the bad life altogether; that the movie has its mind made up well before the final scene doesn’t detract from the effectiveness of the performances or the sudden, horrifying bursts of violence.

Eat Pray Love fortuneteller hospitalized
Piranha 3D stars mutated form of killer fish Prehistoric creatures bigger, nastier and uglier Hollywood hopes to recreate Jaws hysteria SUBMITTED PHOTO
The Balinese fortuneteller featured in Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir Eat Pray Love has been hospitalized because of a heart ailment — just days before a movie adaptation starring Julia Roberts hits U.S. theatres, his doctor said Thursday. Ketut Liyer has become a celebrity in his village of Ubud since the book came out in 2006. Tourists and locals have flocked to his house on Indonesia’ s resort island of Bali so he could read their palms. His granddaughter, Wayan Puspita Sari, said the 96-year-old has been asked to appear in several commercials and advertisements. “He is exhausted by all of this,” she said. “It may have affected his health.” Liyer, who also has a prostate problem, was ad-

Though he has made a strong recovery and says he wants to return home, the fortuneteller is being asked to stay at least one week. Hollywood star Roberts plays Gilbert in Eat Pray Love, a story about a frustrated divorcee who takes a yearlong trip to Italy, India and Bali in search of inner peace. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With a movie like Piranha 3D, it’s pretty safe to assume you know what you’re going to get. In fact, if there were any doubt, director Alexandre Aja recently described the film as a mix between Gremlins, Weird Science and Dead Alive. “It is funny,” exclaimed star Jessica Szohr (TV’s Gossip Girl) from Manhattan. “I think you’ ll laugh, you’ll be very scared and entertained — it’s a scary, funny, summer popcorn movie.” Even the studio’s marketing department has picked up on Piranha 3D’s potential as a fun summer movie. The film’s poster fittingly pays homage to Steven Spielberg’s classic Jaws but while that 1975 thriller featured a menac-

Indeed, the species in the thriller is definitely bigger, uglier and much nastier — especially in 3-D. “It’ll be fun (to see) with the piranhas popping out at you and all the craziness that goes on.” Presumably, Hollywood will be banking on flesheating fish to have the

Even more than three-dimensional seafood, that natural phobia may be the true potency of Piranha 3D. “We don’ t know what’s going on (underwater). You can’t see and you can only go under for so long if you want to check out what’s going on. It’s just a whole mystery of what is there,” said Szohr with a dramatic pause. “… Or what’s not.”

They come out at night Love horror, genre or just the plain weird? Get all your thrills and chills at the Toronto After Dark film festival, which kicks off today PHIL BROWN
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
In a city filled with film festivals, there’s only one place to see a movie about
The Human Centipede
STORY BY
a killer tire (Rubber) or three humans being surgically connected through their digestive tracts (Human Centipede). Yep, it’s time for Toron-
to After Dark, the only local film fest entirely dedicated to horror, genre, or just plain weird and disturbing movies. It’s a niche that festival founder/director Adam Lopez knew needed attention. “When I came to Toronto, I noticed there wasn’t a festival dedicated to my kind of movie,” Lopez told Metro. “You know, horror, sci-fi, action, and cult movies. Really exciting, really bloody, and fun films.” For Lopez, the programming goal is to “go back to feeling like a teenager watching exciting genre films.” It’s precisely this attitude that has caused the festival to draw larger crowds every year since opening in 2005. That’s the experience the audience is looking for and what the participating filmmakers like Joshua Grannell strive to create. “I was a horror obsessed kid growing up in Maryland who worshipped Fangoria, Freddy Krueger, and anything macabre or spooky,” Grannell told Metro. The filmmaker is screening his debut feature All About Evil at this year’s festival, following years of work as a popular film programmer in San Francisco. “The inspiration for my movie came from working in neighbourhood theatres as a projectionist, programming repertory cinemas,
All About Evil
and having loads of anxiety over the influx of multiplexes putting single screen cinemas out of business,” said Grannell. His movie is about a repressed theatre owner who gets into filmmaking by killing annoying patrons and selling tickets to footage of the murders to horror fans. “If someone is texting during a movie, talking loudly, or worse chewing loudly, I want to murder them,” joked the director. “I'm definitely one of those filmmakers who makes movies about loving movies.” This deep love of genre movies defines the filmmakers, audiences, and organizers of Toronto After Dark. “We don’t really make any money from this,” admitted Adam Lopez. “It’s a labour of love and we’ll keep doing it as long as the fans keep coming.”

Lawyerin’ and doctorin’ jobs! For many people, the first on-screen glimpse of Toronto onscreen came from the backseat of a 1960 Chevrolet Impala. Goin’ Down the Road, the story of Pete (Doug McGrath) and his pal Joey (Paul Bradley), two Maritimers who set out in a Chevy to find a better life in Toronto, (SCTV joked they were looking for “lawyerin’ and doctorin’ jobs”) is a city time capsule circa 1970. Look for great shots of Yonge Street attractions including the classic Sam the Record Man spinning double disc neon sign. The signs are gone now, making their last appearance in the 2008 film The Incredible Hulk. Long live the new flesh! Although David Cronenberg has made more than a dozen films in T.O. and says, “I love shooting in Toronto,” film critic Geoff Pevere says, “Toronto had never seemed weirder,” than in the director’s epic Videodrome.

Yonge and Dundas and Beyond For a look at the downand-dirty Yonge Street Strip, once the body rub capital of Canada, check out Ron Mann’s 1974 Super8 documentary The Strip. On the other end of the scale is Atom Egoyan’s Chloe, the story of a Toronto escort and the woman
who hires her to test her husband’s fidelity. Toronto has never looked lovelier than this. “At the level of metaphor, it’s interesting because Toronto is a prostitute. As a city, very often it pretends to be New York or Chicago or San Francisco,” Egoyan said. “So it’s interesting, since this is a film about that.”

Welcome to Romero’s new nightmare
Legendary horror director returns with another “Dead” film Survival of The Dead was shot in Ancaster CHRIS ALEXANDER
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
George A. Romero is proudly Canadian. Sort of. The iconic master of horror was born in New York, moved to Pittsburgh to launch a film career in the 1960’s (where he wrote and directed his first film, 1968’s landmark Night of The Living Dead) and stayed there, pumping out horror films and thrillers, virtually inventing the zombie sub-genre (Dawn of The Dead is one of the
most influential films of all time) and become one of America’s most recognized purveyors of independent filmmaking. But when Romero made 2005’s big budget Land of The Dead in Toronto, he fell in love with the place, and moved here shortly afterwards. Now an honorary Canadian, the filmmaker has been steadily pumping out low budget, partially homegrown financed pictures ever since including 2007’s Diary of The Dead and now, opening next
week for a limited run after a phenomenal festival, U.S. theatrical and VOD run, comes his latest “Dead” film, Survival of The Dead. “I love Toronto,” Romero told Metro. “I have a whole new set of friends here and colleagues, a whole new life. There are amazing people in this city and some fantastic talent.” Survival — shot primarily just outside of the city in Ancaster, Ont. — is a kind of quasi-western epic with two rural families battling

laced with a serious minded – yet lively — socio-political subtext. “With this one, I was speaking about tribalism,” he notes. “The zombies are
the central problem but these people are too busy fighting with each other to deal with the crisis at hand. There’s also plenty of arch humour in this one too.”

THE HEROIN BOOK TOUR, PART 1 Sound Check
ALAN CROSS
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
T
his summer has turned into the summer of the former junkie confessional autobiography. First up was Dave Mustaine, a founding member of Metallica and since 1983, the leader of Megadeth. His book, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir (HarperCollins), contains so many tales of alcohol and drug abuse that you’re almost guaranteed to wake up the next morning with a hangover and a bad case of opiate withdrawal. Mustaine knows rehab because he’s been through it 17 times. “You go in there, get sobered up but there was no really giving you the tools to cope with stuff. It’s like sobering up a drunken horse thief. As soon as he sobers up, what have you got? A horse thief.” Dave’s spiral to near-death was rooted largely in unresolved emotional pain that went back decades.

Dave Mustaine of Megadeth performs on stage last year in Sydney, Australia.
The most frightening rehab episode involved falling asleep in an awkward position in a chair. When he woke up, his left arm was asleep and wouldn’t wake up. Doctors said he’d never play guitar
again. “There’s a little nerve on the inside of my bicep on my left arm. It’s about 4 millimetres around and it got crunched like when you chew on a drinking straw. It needed to grow

It was THIS HAND,” he says gesturing with what he calls “the moneymaker.” This incident — and Mustaine’s ability to recover — convinced him that perhaps a higher power was showing him the error of his ways and that he could reform his ways. That’s when the wannabe Satanist and part-time practitioner of black magic embraced Christianity. “If anyone needed to have a life-changing event take place, it was me. I didn’t realize that God was all I needed until He was all I had.” Mustaine is a fascinating look into the darker sides of being a famous metal musician. Recommended.

Parenting experts back Team Aniston GETTY IMAGES
The Switch actress gets support for comments about single motherhood, claiming O’Reilly is “out of touch” Bill O’Reilly may still be squawking about how Jennifer Aniston is “destructive to society,” because her new movie, The Switch, sends the message to kids that a woman doesn’t need a man to have a baby. But parenting experts weighing in on the media squabble are firmly Team Aniston, saying the host of FOX News’ The O’Reilly Factor is out of touch with modern society. “It’s unrealistic and not in touch with how family is changing,” social psychologist Susan Newman, author of Parenting an Only Child, tells gossip website PopEater. “The traditional family GETTY IMAGES

Said Aniston: “Women are realizing more and more that you don’t have to settle, they don’t have to fiddle with a man to have that child.

One burger, four cuts of meat Solving the problem of dry burgers

When Tyler Florence was creating hamburgers for his new restaurant, his goal was simple â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a burger that stays moist no matter how well-done it is cooked. The solution was all a matter of numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one month of experimenting with the percentage of fat and the number of cuts of meat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people do an 8020 lean-to-fat ratio,â&#x20AC;? Florence, whose Wayfare Tavern opened recently in San Francisco, said in a telephone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go 75-to-25 ratio, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little fattier. So even if you like it well done, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still nice and moist.â&#x20AC;? For the cuts of meat, Florence settled on four of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; prime rib, brisket, skirt steak and filet. And after they are ground (at another facility), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly a hands-off

You have to really think it through so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complimentary flavour and not a distraction from the burger.â&#x20AC;? For the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 Burgers of Summer series, Florence opted for an intensely savoury and creamy combination of oven-roasted red onions, lemon aioli and brie.

FLICKR CC BODGANMIGULSKI
Its proximity to the city centre makes La Malagueta the top beach in Malaga, Spain.
Magical Malaga
FLICKR CC BACHMONT
It lies deep in the heart of the Costa del Sol, but is more Moorish than meets the eye Malaga is a high-octane mix of cultures and ideals and fabulous weather It is very Spanish, yet its heart is very much its own... Picassoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown is more than the gateway to the glittering Costa del Sol. The Spanish port city is a historical and cultural gem and far more genuine than the nearby party town of Marbella.
FINE FOOD
Bodegas are plentiful around Malaga, but the Antigua Casa de Guardia has one of the best muscatel wines around. For delicate cakes and coffee, posh MalagueĂąos go to LĂŠpanto, but if what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re after is the ultimate guilty pleasure, go for thick hot chocolate and churros (fried doughnuts) at Casa Aranda. The Michelin-starred CafĂŠ Paris is the place to
enjoy a long and lazy lunch.
PICASSO You could easily dedicate an entire trip to Malaga on Picasso. Showcased in the somewhat austere museum (2.museopicassomalaga. org) are some 200 sculptures and paintings by the late artist. His home, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Casa Natalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is on the trendy Plaza de la Merced and now serves as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shrine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
BEACHES
Its proximity to the city centre makes La Malagueta the top beach. The fine sand may not be so authentic (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imported from the Sahara Desert), but the at-
mosphere is. Bustling beach cafes, known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chiringuitosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abound. For a more bohemian beach setting, head over to BaĂąos de Carmen, a small and secluded bay or Playa de Palo, a fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbourhood.
OLD TOWN
Use the cathedral as your compass and discover the old town centre. Construction work on the cathedral (referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;La Manquitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the one armed because its southern tower was never completed) lasted two centuries. The result is a swagger of Renaissance/ Gothic interiors and a Baroque style exterior. Shop for local cheese,
ham and strawberries at the Mercado de Atarazanas (mercadosmalaga.com), where the Arabic influence is palpable.
MOORISH MODE
Islamic influences are embedded in Malagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everyday life. Perched atop a jagged cliff is the Alcazaba, a Muslim fortress dating back to the 11th century. Walk through the shady patios and galleries as you take in the powerful scents of jasmine and orange blossom. Back in town, book a session at the hammam baths, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BaĂąos Arabesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and choose from a myriad of treatments including chocolate oil massage (el-

EXOTIC ESCAPE
Some 5 km outside of the city centre is the exotic botanical gardens of La ConcepciĂłn (laconcepcion.ayto-malaga.es). Created in the mid-19th century
by a wealthy Marquis and his wife whilst on honeymoon, they are the perfect romantic getaway. METRO WORLD NEWS

BLUE JAYS
The plane ride to California, had they just been swept by the Boston Red Sox, would have been dreadful. Five hours is a long time to stew over things gone wrong, as so much has all year for the Toronto Blue Jays against their AL East rivals. That’s why Thursday afternoon’s stirring ninth-inning comeback from a 5-2 deficit in a 6-5 victory was particularly uplifting. It’s games like this one, especially once closer Jonathan Papelbon had come in, that usually haven’t ended in their favour. “We couldn’t get on the plane with a loss,” said Fred Lewis, whose sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth brought home Aaron Hill with the winning run. “We haven’t done well against these guys. In the big picture we have to beat these guys in order to get back up to the top. “Today was a great start.”
For eight and half innings it didn’t look that way, as a dominant John Lackey seemed headed for his first complete game of the season. Instead, Jose Bautista worked a tremendous at-bat to open the ninth and eventually smashed his 36th homer of the season over the wall in left to ignite the rally. That was it for Lackey and in came Papelbon, who had converted all 24 of his career save chances versus the Blue Jay but described himself as “groggy” this time. He was immediately tagged by Vernon Wells, who drove his first pitch into the right-field corner for a double and Adam Lind brought him home on the next one with a smash up the box. Pinch-runner Dewayne Wise then stole second and advanced to third when Hill singled off Papelbon’s left foot, leaving the Red Sox reeling in a span of seven pitches. Papelbon (4-5) recovered to strike out Travis Snider before Edwin Encarnacion’s double down the left-field line tied things up. After pinch-hitter Lyle Overbay was walked intentionally, Lewis hit a fly ball to centre off Daniel Bard that was just deep enough to score Hill. In what felt like a snap of the fingers, the game was turned on its head.

Up until a couple of weeks ago Lyle Overbay was convinced that one way or another, his days with the Toronto Blue Jays would soon be over. Now, even after a report surfaced Thursday morning saying he had cleared waivers and was eligible to be traded this month, the first baseman isn’t as sure. “I honestly thought I would be done after this year,” Overbay said.
Overbay’s due about $2 million for the rest of the season and would be a great addition for a team looking for a strong defensive first baseman with pop.

The answer came early, with three birdies on his opening holes to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; get this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; put his name atop the leaderboard. But only briefly.

Tiger Woods watches his tee shot on the 14th hole.
There were enough errant shots, including one that went so far left it found a marsh he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know was there, that Woods had to make an 8foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 1-under 71. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played too good

not to shoot under par,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very disappointing and frustrating to end up at even par as well as I played today. To make that putt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to shoot under par â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just feels like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I should have shot
the way I played today. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good feeling.â&#x20AC;? Since when is shooting 71 a good feeling for a guy with 14 majors? When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming off the worst tournament of his career, an 18-over 298 at Firestone to beat only one player in the field, raising questions that ranged from whether this would be his last PGA Tour event of the year in America to whether he belonged in the Ryder Cup.

Fancy drop shots. A between-the-legs volley. He even tried an underhand serve. Federer was ready for almost all of it on the sunbaked hardcourt at the Rexall Centre, and advanced to the quarter-finals with a 7-6 (2), 6-3 victory on Thursday. Topseeded Rafael Nadal of Spain, second-seeded Novak Djokovic of Serbia and fourth-seeded Andy Mur-

The Federer-Llodra match was a return to oldschool tennis, with both players showing creativity count at the committee level was 12-3. Councillors Terry Whitehead and Tom Jackson changed their votes Thursday and Brad Clark, who didn’t attend Tuesday’s session, also voted no. The stadium is slated to play host to the Pan American Games in August 2015 and was to become the new home of the CFL’s Hamilton TigerCats.

Llodra even picked up a souvenir after shaking hands with the two-time champion, asking Federer for his pink tennis shirt.

Coach’s energy no act
COLIN MCCONNELL/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Argos’ receivers coach ‘stands out’ in more ways than one He’s a newcomer to coaching — and has appeared in two Hollywood movies Ask Jeremaine Copeland about his position coach and the Toronto Argonauts slotback instantly starts laughing. “He definitely stands out,” Copeland said of receivers coach Cos DeMatteo as the Argos prepared to meet the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday. “He’s just a live wire. “He’s fired up as soon as we come into the locker room at 7 in the morning, like he’s had seven cappuccinos or something.” DeMatteo obviously doesn’t lose any of that energy by the time the Argos hit the practice field four hours later. He regularly runs alongside his re-
ceivers, barking a mixture of instructions and positive reinforcement designed to get a corps of young receivers maturing before their time. While that alone sets DeMatteo apart from most of his colleagues, it’s his resumé that really lets you know he’s a bit different. For one, it’s pretty thin. He has two years of coaching experience, split between the Tennessee Valley Vipers of Arena Football 2 and a Chattanooga prep school. His playing career consisted of five years as a receiver in arena football and another in NFL Europe. For another, he’s the only guy on staff to appear in
“Anytime you get to do something new and unusual, it’s a good thing.” COS DEMATTEO, ARGOS RECEIVERS COACH
two Hollywood movies — with a speaking part in one. You might remember him as Dean German from the hit 2006 movie Invincible, a snarling linebacker from Nebraska who tells star Mark Wahlberg, “You ain’t going nowhere.” Talk about casting against type. DeMatteo’s thick Tennessee ac-
cent and constant sunny nature lend credence to his acting ability. He was first invited to be an extra in the remake of The Longest Yard, mainly because the filming schedule meant only Arena League players were available. That led to an audition for Invincible, the true story of a teacher and parttime bartender who cracked the Philadelphia Eagles lineup in 1976. DeMatteo had to add 20 pounds, grow a beard and let his hair grow out to look the part. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE
Premiership powers stick to their guns
Argos receivers coach Cos DeMatteo has a unique resumé.
WNBA boasts new fans in arenas, on TV CHRISTIAN PETERSEN/GETTY IMAGES
There will be a familiar look to title favourites Chelsea and Manchester United when the Premier League season begins this weekend. After ending Man United's three-year grip on the trophy in May, Chelsea has made one addition to an aging team, unloading several players ahead of Saturday’s opener against West Bromwich Albion. United’s effort to get stronger has only amounted to signing a trio of youngsters, who may not start on Monday against Newcastle (TSN, 3 p.m. ET). Such lack of investment could backfire if Manchester City’s big spending — almost $500 million US in two years — finally turns the underachievers into a force. While Man City’s outlay this off-season has reached $138 million with more than two weeks left before the transfer window closes, billionaire Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has only spent $8 million signing Yossi Benayoun from Liver-
pool. The Israel captain has replaced 28-yearold midfielder Joe Cole. Michael Ballack, Juliano Belletti and Ricardo Carvalho, all in their 30s, also have left. But manager Carlo Ancelotti still has a far-fromyouthful squad, relying heavily on captain John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Peter Cech. Those players bring experience, not tired legs, to the team, Ancelotti says. “The players will be better this season because they have one year more experience, like me,” Ancelotti said. “I’m not older. I’m more experienced. I am a better manager now. I had more doubt last year, when I started.”
Attendance is up slightly in the WNBA for the fourth straight year and ratings have improved again — positive signs as the league’s 14th season heads into the final stretch. “What you’re seeing is the base of interest in the WNBA continuing to grow,” WNBA president Donna Orender told The Associated Press. “That was the goal we set out several years ago.” After seeing the average attendance rise to 8,039 per game a year ago, the WNBA reported an increase of one per cent through last week compared to a corresponding point last season. Also, ratings on ESPN2 were up 14 per cent with an increase in viewership of 23 per cent through the first 14 broadcasts of the season. Last year, the WNBA

regular season on ESPN finished with an average of 269,000 viewers, up eight per cent from 2008 — marking the second straight year of improvement. “We know we have a tremendously entertaining product,” Orender said. “The quality of the athletes is fantastic, the quality of the entertainment experience. We just know if we get people in front of it, they’re going to love it. That’s what we’re starting to see happening.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Aries March 21-April 19
Taurus April 20-May 21 You are being far too serious about something that’s really of no importance at all. Take your mind off the issue by seeking out people who make you feel good, who make you laugh. Gemini May 22-June 21 You may be of the opinion that someone you work or do business with is trying to undermine your efforts, but in fact they are trying to help you. Listen and learn.
Cancer June 22-July 22 No matter how annoying certain individuals may be you must not allow yourself to be provoked. You may be angry on the inside, but on the outside you should project a picture of calm serenity.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23 You would be wise to take things slow and easy today, because what happens over the weekend will demand your full attention and every last bit of energy you can muster.
Leo July 23-Aug.23 A sudden attraction is likely today, but you are really too different for the relationship, such as it is, to stand the test of time. Treat it as a bit of fun.
Something you hear while on the move today will inspire you to aim higher and try harder and before the day is over your mind will be teeming with plans for the rest of the year.
Virgo Aug. 24- Sept. 22 You need to do a bit of serious thinking about a partnership or association that has been quite profitable in the past, but seems to be running out of steam. In a nutshell: It’s holding you back.
To my Sugar Plum, our relationship so far has been the best eight days of my life. I’ll never forget lawn-bowling, buying belts and frolicking at Byward. Love always. YOUR SWEET SWEET TREASURE
Yesterday’s answer
For today’s crossword answers and for expanded horoscopes, go to metronews.ca
Today’s horoscope Steer clear of contentious issues today, especially those involving politics or religion. You may have strong views on certain subjects, but so do other people. You won’t persuade them. Keep your distance.
Yesterday’s answer
Fill in the grid, so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9. There is no math involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22
Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21 Life has been so
kind to you of late that some people, both at home and at work, are feeling a bit resentful. If they had your positive attitude maybe they would get lucky, too.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 20 You are right to feel pleased with what you have accomplished in recent weeks, but you know what they say about pride coming before a fall. Times may be good, but take nothing for granted.
“I cheated on my wife and this is part of the separation agreement.”
Aquarius Jan. 21-Feb. 18 Stop worrying about what has gone wrong and start thinking about all the wonderful things that are going to go right today, tomorrow and every day of your life from now on.
Pisces Feb. 19-March 20 Usually you are only too eager to come to the aid of someone in need, but today you just want to be left alone. Find a quite place where you can be alone. SALLY BROMPTON
