A gay Toronto man who concealed his sexual history on a blood donor questionnaire and was sued for negligence by Canadian Blood Services has lost in Ontario Superior Court. In a decision released Thursday, the court sided with CBS in its suit against Kyle Freeman for “negligent misrepresentation.” The court said Freeman did not have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms defence against the claim of negligence. The decision essentially upholds the current CBS practice of prohibiting men who have had sex with other men anytime since 1977 from donating blood. Freeman donated blood several times between 1990 and 2002. Each time, he falsely denied he had had sex with another man since 1977. The court has now found him liable for $10,000. He had launched a counterclaim under the charter, alleging the policy violates his constitutional right to equal treatment regardless of sexual orientation. In dismissing a constitutional challenge of that pol-

No donations Other reasons people are permanently banned from donating blood include: Being the sexual partner of someone who has tested positive for HIV or who has contracted AIDS since 1977. Accepting money or drugs for sex since 1977. Sharing needles or taking street drugs by needle, even once. Being born in or living in the following countries since 1977: Cameroon; Central African Republic; Chad; Congo; Equatorial Guinea; Gabon; Niger; and Nigeria. Having had sexual contact with anyone who was born in or lived in the aforementioned countries since 1977.

icy, Ontario Superior Court Justice Catherine Aitken ruled Canadian Blood Services is not a government entity, so the Charter of Rights does not apply. Donating blood, she found, is not a right afforded by law. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The TTC is moving fullsteam toward an open-payment electronic fare system, despite fresh warnings Thursday from Ontario Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne. Companies interested in bidding on the TTC’s fare business, worth about $900 million annually, have until 4 p.m. Friday to formally state their intent. The transit agency wants to give riders the option of tapping a credit or debit card, or a cellphone, on an electronic reader to pay their fare. Open payment means the cost of managing fare collections would go to an outside provider that makes money on the transaction fees. But the province is just rolling out its own Presto fare card system. It has committed $250 million to developing that card for all

Bidding war? TTC chair Adam Giambrone wouldn’t say how many companies are expected to bid on the TTC business, only that there will probably be more than 10. “This is a $6-trillion

nine regional transit providers, including the TTC. It expects to add an open payment option to Presto in about three years. In the meantime, the TTC argues the Presto technology is passé and it doesn’t have the $400 million it will cost to install Presto readers on all its buses and subway stations. The provincial plan calls industry worldwide,” he said of the open payment type transactions. “Transit is interesting (to many financial companies and cellphone providers) because it kick-starts that whole process in a market like Toronto,” Giambrone said.

for a $148-million investment in the TTC, but it would pay only one-third of that cost, with the city and Ottawa each expected to kick in one-third. Wynne, who was part of an announcement Thursday that Presto has already signed on 10,000 users, said the TTC could face financial penalties if it doesn’t get on board with Presto. “We need the TTC on board; we absolutely do, no question about it,” she said. The province wants to see 1.8 million commuters across the region using Presto when it’s fully rolled out. But with the TTC providing more than 80 per cent of Toronto area transit trips, it’s clear the card needs to be viable on that system. The TTC will take until Oct. 25 — the same day as the municipal election — to go over its requirements with interested providers, who then have to provide a final bid. Theoretically, the TTC could contract the successful bidder before the new council takes power Dec. 1. TTC chair Adam Giambrone denied the process was being rushed through by the current transit board. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Man accused of Ponzi scheme announces run for mayor RENE JOHNSTON/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Weizhen Tang, the selfproclaimed Chinese Warren Buffet accused of defrauding investors in a $30-million Ponzi scheme, says he is the man to clean up Toronto city hall. Tang said Thursday he has registered to run for mayor and has no doubt Torontonians will vote him into office to root out corruption, which he described as “the wasting of millions of dollars.” “I have the best chance to be mayor,” Tang said after circulating a manifesto subtitled: “How the Canadian government is too fat to move, but Toronto, through extreme fitness, can save the country, and itself, from corruption and a Great Crash.” Tang was arrested and jailed in January after returning to Toronto from China. He was released on bail in April. A prominent member of Toronto’s Chinese community, he ran the investment fund Oversea Chinese Fund Limited Partnership. Last year, he organized a

Most criminals sentenced to life in prison are never heard from again. But in the case of Tyshan Riley — a convicted murderer and purported gang leader — hearing his voice is as simple as clicking on YouTube. The message? “You want bricks, I can supply it.

garnered more than 500 views. Riley is the purported leader of the Galloway Boys, a gang in Scarborough, and in 2009, he and two others were convicted of first-degree murder in the 2004 shooting that killed one man and left another seriously injured. The 27-year-old is now

serving a life sentence at Millhaven, a maximum-security prison in Bath, Ont. But according to aspiring rapper Sheldon Nugent, a.k.a. CokeKey$ Car’tel, he was the one who recorded the prison rap two summers ago, when Riley would have been still awaiting trial at Toronto’s East Detention Centre. Nugent, who has also been linked by police to the Galloway Boys, said he and Riley used to be in a rap duo. When his childhood friend called him in 2008, he suggested a freestyle “for old times sake.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Drop costly police from film sets: Thomson

Says city shouldn’t be putting barriers in front of producers who have option of going somewhere else

Filmmakers shouldn’t be forced to hire highly paid Toronto police officers when private security could do the job for much less, says mayoral candidate Sarah Thomson. If elected on Oct. 25, Thomson said she would work to remove red tape, hassles and excessive fees that discourage film and television producers. Her film policy, unveiled Thursday morning outside city hall, includes making it easier to obtain film permits, as well as criticism of the current paid duty system where of-

ficers make $65 an hour to provide security. “I’ve talked with the Toronto film board, I’ve talked to a lot of people in the film industry, and that’s one thing that seems to be discouraging a lot of people,” Thomson said. “It’s a cost, it’s an extra cost they have to pay in Toronto. They don’t have to pay it in other cities. “We want to make this hassle free. It’s the little things that add up and then people say this other city is a little easier to deal with than Toronto.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE RICHARD LAUTENS/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Neighbouring businesses are taking time to get ready for the Toronto International Film Festival, which entered its ﬁrst day of screenings Thursday.

“I’m hearing a lot of worry from people saying jobs are leaving our city. I say we go to the public ﬁrst … and say do we want this to be a city where ﬁlm is welcome? And if so, what concessions are we willing to make?” SARAH THOMSON

Candidate touts private security as option Sarah Thomson said police officers should only be used when there are overriding safety concerns such as heavy traffic. But in most cases private security would suffice. “We can look at opening things up to more security guards doing it. But where there isn’t a safety issue, I don’t think we really need them,” she said. Thomson conceded residents may want a police officer on scene to control after-hours noise, but suggested compromises may be necessary to preserve good-paying film jobs. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Private pickup cheaper: Study Toronto could save almost $50 million a year if it contracted out all of its garbage collection and disposal, says a new study by the C.D. Howe Institute. Canada’s largest city has the second highest garbage cost of nine centres studied. Currently, 20 per cent of the work is contracted, and 80 per cent performed by unionized civic workers. It costs Toronto $127 per resident to deal with garbage each year, second only to Edmonton at $135. Contracting out has been championed by Coun. Doug Holyday (Ward 3, Etobicoke Centre) but he has not persuaded the administration under Mayor David Miller. Holyday, who was mayor of Etobicoke when collection was contracted out in 1995, wants to see a

Wind plan opposed

MARIA BABBAGE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Incensed residents argue health concerns ignored in province’s plan to build turbines Angry residents opposed to wind turbines confronted Premier Dalton McGuinty Thursday, saying health concerns are being ignored in the province’s push for green energy. McGuinty, who was set to tour a recreation centre in Lindsay came in a back door after about 10 signwaving protesters parked themselves outside the front entrance. The group bristled

Accusation The group wasn’t satisfied, accusing McGuinty and local Liberal Rick Johnson of betraying voters and stripping municipalities of their power to block wind turbines.

when it realized McGuinty was already inside the complex. “I think he’s missing parts of his anatomy,” said one man. After greeting construction workers inside the building, the premier was confronted by the protesters, who accused him of foisting wind turbines on rural residents who believe the enormous structures are making people sick. They demanded McGuinty stop the proposed installation of about 30 wind turbines in nearby Pontypool, which they say are slated to be built close to schools and homes. “Have you heard about the children who are getting nosebleeds from these (turbines)?” asked Ponty-

Ohio employees snoop through Idol runner-up’s records Most were suspended, but two lost jobs More than a half-dozen public employees snooped in confidential state records for personal information on American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox, officials said Thursday. Two workers were ousted after the breaches were discovered, including a star-struck licensing bureau employee who has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge.

The bluesy Bowersox, who grew up in Elliston in northwest Ohio, said the snooping made her feel violated. “People are going to get curious,” Bowersox told The Blade of Toledo. “But I don’t think any of the people who participated in it would have wanted it to happen to them or their family members. That’s disgusting.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

President Barack Obama is sending best wishes to Muslims worldwide as they celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of fasting and prayer known as Ramadan. Obama also appealed for donations for victims of devastating floods in Pakistan.

Tough month for sex workers in mainly Muslim Senegal Wearing white to symbolize purity, worshippers throughout this African capital gathered to pray on one of the final nights of Ramadan. To purify the soul and purge sin, they hadn’t eaten all day and refrained from drinking, smoking and having sex – which during the holy month is only allowed among spouses at night. Ramadan is bad news for the sex workers on the streets of Senegal, a country where 94 per cent of the population is Muslim and prostitution is legal. “It’s a rough month,” said 31-year-old Fatou Diop, who had taken a position on a piece of pavement just beyond the flashing lights of a nightclub in downtown Dakar. Her miniskirt was so short it barely reached beyond the top of her thighs. “There are fewer clients during Ramadan — and we earn less. You can work for

three days and not make anything,” she said. Like many prostitutes in Dakar, Diop moved to the

year-old native of Casamance, a region in the south of Senegal, said it’s difficult to make enough to live. She normally earns $50 per client, but from that amount she must bribe the local police to keep from being harassed or put in jail. “I have to support my family on what’s left after I pay them,” she said. “Now, there’s no work.” Even though prostitution is legal, it is still taboo. If the police harass prostitutes — registered or not — and threaten to take them to jail, they often have no recourse but to pay a bribe. Ndiaye is one of the registered, or legal, sex workers who are required to report to a health clinic for HIV and sexually transmitted disease testing every two weeks or risk losing their health card.

Federal funds for stadiums? TROY FLEECE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Prime minister’s suggestion draws fire from opposition and some Tories Some Conservatives wore Quebec Nordiques jersey at a photo op this week

Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaks Thursday in Saskatoon.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has flung the doors open to the possibility of federal funding for professional sports stadiums across the country, saying if his government sends money to Quebec City it will do the same for others. Harper stressed that no financing would go directly to pro sports franchises, but arenas and stadiums were another matter.

“In terms of financing major sports facilities, there are demands here, there are demands in Quebec City, I am aware of demands elsewhere,” Harper told reporters Thursday in Saskatoon. Regina is seeking federal cash for a new multipurpose stadium that will house the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. “In terms of financing

these things going forward, we’re going to have to respect the precedents we have had in the past and be sure any treatment we’re prepared to make to one city we’re prepared to make to all,” said Harper. The distinction between subsidizing pro sports franchises and paying for arenas can be a very fine line, if not indistinguishable. Any prospect of returning an NHL team to

Quebec City after a 15-year absence depends on a new $400-million arena being built. Quebec wants Ottawa to kick in around $170 million. Harper didn’t dismiss the notion — on the same day Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced an end to enhanced employment insurance payouts due to budgetary restraints. THE CANADIAN PRESS

But governments that were accessing the programs for training saw their training budgets dry up, she said.

Fourth terrorist attack at the same Russian market in a decade Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin blamed extremists “without souls, without hearts” for a suicide car bombing that killed 17 people Thursday in the crowded central market of a city in the North Caucasus.

EU criticizes France’s policy on Roma VADIM GHIRDA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The European Parliament demanded Thursday that France immediately suspend its expulsion of Roma, but France’s immigration minister dismissed the resolution as “a political measure” and insisted the practice would continue. The EU Parliament resolution — a rare criticism of an EU nation — was backed by 337 lawmakers meeting in Strasbourg, France, with 245 opposed and 51 abstentions. “This is an extraordinary condemnation of President (Nicolas) Sarkozy and his government,” said British Labour Party legislator Claude Moraes. The vote put the Socialists, Greens and liberals in a grand coalition against the European People’s Party, which includes Sarkozy’s UMP party. France has stepped up its long-standing policy of rounding up Eastern European Gypsies, or Roma,

and sending them home. Officials have dismantled more than 100 illegal camps and expelled more than 1,000 Roma, mostly to Romania and Bulgaria. Sarkozy has linked Roma to crime, calling their camps sources of prostitution and child exploitation and has pledged the

illegal settlements would be “systematically evacuated.” The policy has drawn criticism from the UN and the Roman Catholic Church. Many at the EU parliament accused Paris of targeting Roma as a group and ignoring essential Eu-

ropean human rights guarantees. Roma face widespread discrimination in housing, jobs and education across Europe. As EU citizens, they have a right to travel to France, but must get papers to work or live there in the long term. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The legislators also said they were “deeply concerned, in particular, at the inflammatory and openly discriminatory rhetoric that has characterized political discourse.” French Immigration Minister Eric Besson, in Bucharest for talks with Romanian officials on the topic, insisted Thursday there was no “specific targeting” of Roma and no “collective expulsions” by France, except for putting them all together on planes going home.

Chinese activist ‘freed’ from jail THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One of China’s best-known activists, blind lawyer Chen Guangcheng, was released from prison Thursday after serving four years and three months behind bars. But despite having served his full term, he was immediately placed under house arrest — a tactic that has enraged international human rights groups. “He’s not really being released, but just going from prison to yet another form of detention,” Nicholas Be-

quelin, a Hong Kong-based official with the organization Human Rights Watch, said. “There is just no basis in Chinese law for doing this.” The 38-year-old Chen fell afoul of officialdom in 2005, when he exposed a campaign of violence by a local government in Shandong province that forced 7,000 women to submit to sterilization and late-term abortions in order to meet family planning quotas un-

der China’s one-child policy. Meeting such quotas was a factor for Communist Party officials who were seeking promotion. While a number of officials were dismissed as a result of Chen’s work, the blind lawyer was later found guilty of destroying government property and organizing a crowd to block traffic — charges, supporters say, that were completely trumped up.

Chen Guangcheng

Biography Chen Guangcheng was profiled in the acclaimed book Out Of Mao’s Shadow, by journalist Philip Pan. Chen once asked the author, as they drove along a darkened country road, how long he thought it would be before political freedom would come to China. Pan said he felt that day could be a long way off. After a moment, Chen turned to Pan and said, almost cheerfully, “I hope it happens in our lifetime.”

65 is not old, scientists say

Brazil. Emergency

Study suggests it’s how independent you feel, not how long you’ve been alive, that truly dictates age The population gurus who proved scientifically that 40 is the new 30 are proposing another radical rethink: 65, 70 or even 80 is not old. The Western world’s panic over a greying population is wrong, Sergei Scherbov and Warren Sanderson contend in their latest study in Friday’s Science magazine. “If you look at aging with the traditional indicators, you say people are old at 65,” Scherbov said. “But a person who today is 60 years old may be around for another 25 years or

even more. So they are at a different stage of their life than someone who was 60 years old 50 or 100 or 200 years ago.” Societies think about age based on markers supplied by statistics agencies at the UN, he said. They use an Old Age Dependency Ratio to figure out the burden on society of supporting elderly people. That means everyone 65 and older is counted as be-

ing dependent on the younger, working-age population to support them. Out of date, say the authors. They advocate an Adult Disability Dependency Ratio, which measures aging based on the ratio of people who need care as opposed to the people who can give care. Looked at in this new way, the population is a lot longer than we think it is, he said. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Somali pirate ship taken over by U.S. marines U.S. marine commandos stormed a pirate-held cargo ship off the Somalia coast Thursday, reclaiming control and taking nine prisoners without firing a shot in the first such boarding raid by the international anti-piracy flotil-

la, U.S. Navy officials said. The mission, using small craft to reach the deck of German-owned vessel as the crew huddled in a safe room below, ranks among the most dramatic high seas confrontations with pirates by the task force creat-

ed to protect shipping lanes off lawless Somalia. Marine Corps officers involved in the raid told reporters in a conference call the attack involved “overwhelming force” and the element of surprise. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The operation The ship operators were not in direct contact with the U.S. Navy, but were communicating with other maritime security watchdogs in the Horn of Africa.

Then just before dawn Thursday, the U.S. team from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force launched the assault from aboard USS Dubuque, an amphibious transport ship.

The Dubuque was in the area en route to a joint training exercise with Jordan and received orders from the White House to assist the anti-piracy task force, according to an official.

Members of local peace organizations protest Ottawa’s purchase of fighter jets outside the Canadian Defence Security and Aerospace Exhibition Thursday in Halifax.

Nova Scotia’s fisheries minister says it’s not yet clear whether an oil spill near a river caused the death of 500,000 young salmon. Sterling Belliveau said Thursday he just learned that up to $900,000 worth of salmon fry from an aquaculture farm were found dead in Barneys River.

But he said officials are still analyzing data to determine whether the spill or something else caused the deaths. “I want to emphasize that there’s a number of options that can be available to cause such a serious situation,” he said. “That information needs to be reviewed.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Mosque casts shadow on 9-11 anniversary

Muslim-American community centre still far from reality But it’s become an incendiary political topic KATARINA MATSSON/METRO WORLD NEWS

Saturday marks the ninth anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks on the United States. But this year the focus lies two blocks north of Ground Zero outside the planned Muslim-American community centre where a big protest is scheduled. Rally leader Pamela Geller expects “many thousands.” The blogs overflow with anger, the attacks from politicians like Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich become increasingly bitter, and U.S. President Barack Obama’s endorsement seems ever more halfhearted.

building for the controversial Ground Zero mosque. And the rally planned for Saturday’s anniversary of 9-11 is threatening to explode in violence.

Conservative blogger and anti-Islam activist Geller, one of the centre’s loudest opponents and cofounder of Stop Islamization of America, told Metro she expects many thousands to participate Saturday. The rally will begin at Park51 after the conclusion of the official memorial service. Gina Shadid, a 27-yearold graduate student at Columbia University and a supporter of Park51, says there will be counter protests. “I think it’s really disrespectful. We didn’t want to plan something, but we need to counteract all that negative energy.” KATARINA MATSSON

Muslim firefighter recalls 9-11 For firefighter Hisham Tawfiq, Sept. 11, 2001, will always be a moment frozen in time. Tawfiq arrived after the two jets had smashed into the upper storeys of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, killing close to 3,000 people. He watched nearby Building 7 collapse under debris falling from the WTC. Tawfiq is a passionate Muslim, whose father was an imam. KATARINA MATSSON KATARINA MATSSON/METRO WORLD NEWS

“It’s one of those deﬁning moments in history. There’s an undercurrent of change.”

“It’s important because people’s feelings about Muslims are coming out,” says Gina Shadid, a Park51 supporter.

BACKERS OF PARK51 REGRET FIRESTORM The backers of a proposed Islamic centre near Ground Zero are expressing regrets about creating a firestorm with a plan they thought would be simple and non-controversial. Hisham Elzanaty, an Egyptian-born businessman who says he provided a majority of the financing to gain control over the two buildings where the centre would be built, told The Associated Press he has always viewed the project pri-

marily as an investment opportunity, and would sell some of the site if the price is right. And the imam slated to lead the spiritual component of the centre told CNN that if he had realized how some Americans would react to the location, he would have picked some other spot. “If I knew this would happen, if it would cause this kind of pain, I wouldn’t have done it,” Feisal Abdul Rauf said.

It’s a “mistake” for the federal government to cancel an extra five weeks of employment insurance benefits, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Thursday. As of Saturday, Ottawa will cancel the extra weeks of regular benefits and stop providing up to an extra 20 weeks for longer-serving employees. Last year, Prime Minister Stephen Harper enhanced EI benefits for laid-off workers in response to massive job cuts during the economic downturn. Five weeks of EI benefits roughly equals $1,768 on average and 20 weeks works out to an average of $7,072. The economic recovery and the lack of consumer confidence make this the wrong time to start cutting benefits, said McGuinty.

“Given this tremendous and unusual uncertainty ... (we must) ensure that those people who are having diﬃculty ﬁnding a job have the necessary supports.” PREMIER DALTON MCGUINTY

“It’s too early for us to roll back benefits for employment insurance given the state of the recovery. I think that’s a mistake,” said McGuinty. The federal government should also put off any plans to raise EI premiums on employers for the same reason, said McGuinty. THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE FOUR-DAY WORK WEEK WILL SAVE US Other people’s money

DAVID DESCÔTEAUX

Want to help the environment? Here’s my solution.

recycle and I compost. I don’t own a car. I work from home, which reduces my “carbon footprint.” And like many of you, I hope clean energies will soon power our economies. But let’s not kid ourselves. Nine-tenths of all the energy we use is still produced from carbon-based sources like coal, oil and natural gas. The day renewable energies will replace oil is still far away. But don’t despair. I have a solution to start helping the environment right away: The four-day work week. One fewer day per week of traffic, lights,

computers and elevators soaking up energy. But the economy sucks, you say. People are losing their jobs. And most Canadian companies are small businesses — with fewer than 10 employees, it’s hard to do without one’s sole receptionist on Fridays. I hear you. So I thought of one group that could start the movement: Politicians. They love to spend our money on laws, programs and subsidies that cater to interest groups. If politicians only work four days, lobbyists will also have to reduce their work week. Mother Nature will be happy. Taxpayers, too. My own provincial government recently spent $732 million on subsidies — mostly to multinational corporations — in just one week. Actually, it was a four-day week because of a holiday. Imagine if they had had five! Colour me cynical, but I believe that the less politicians work, the less damage they cause. We can act now for planet Earth. Let’s adopt the four-day work week for politicians. The environment — and your wallet — will feel better.

5 GEORGE PIMENTEL MINUTES WITH:

As Canada’s top celebrity photographer gears up for another TIFF red carpet season, George Pimentel lets us in on the secrets behind the ﬂashing bulbs. You’ve been shooting TIFF for almost 20 years. How do you keep things fresh?

I go back to my roots. I try to create something other people don’t have, which is classic photography. Right now it’s all about tabloid, who’s dating who, who’s having kids with who ... I like to shoot black and white, showing the stars’ glamorous side. I think people still crave to see that Hollywood beauty.

Tabloid photography has really exploded. Has it made your job more diﬃcult?

Yes. I feel sometimes like I’m starting all over every day. With cellphones and YouTube everyone’s being documented, so celebrities are far more uptight about their public image. I’ve constantly tried to separate myself from that dark word “paparazzi.” I don’t like to make celebrities upset. I was never out there from the beginning hiding in the bushes. Have you ever witnessed the evolution of a celebrity who started out with red carpet jitters, but blossomed into a posing superstar?

Every day. Believe it or not, Jennifer Lopez used to be like that. Nobody took her picture. Kristen Stewart was also like that. A few years back she was here with the movie Into The Wild, and no one knew who she was. Now that she’s big, I know she doesn’t like doing it, but it’s her job. The funny thing is, I actually train them. I’ve had celebrities try to do the red carpet and they don’t know what they’re doing. I’ll pull them aside and say, “FYI, don’t chew gum. Don’t scratch your face.” And they love that. They want to learn.

JORDANA DIVON

It’s all in your personality: Nice smile, chin up, and sex sells. Drop the shoulder, throw the photographer a kiss. Look at Snooki on the red carpet: She gets it. I can make more money off Snooki than off Julia Roberts. Who are the most consistently photogenic stars?

Brad Pitt and Angelina will make sure everybody gets a picture. And they’ll do funny things, like they’ll whisper in each other’s ears because they know that’s the shot. And they’re not saying anything at all. It’s an old red carpet trick.

Worth mentioning John Travolta was onto something. Women are most attracted to male dancers who have big, flamboyant moves similar to the actor’s trademark style, British scientists report in a new study. Kris McCarty and colleagues at Northumbria University and the University of Gottingen in Germany asked 19 men aged 18 to 35 who were not professional dancers to dance in a laboratory for one minute to a basic drum rhythm. They filmed the men’s movements with a dozen cameras, and then turned those movements into computer-generated

2 scene TIFF in brief

The Cast of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, actresses Naomi Watts, Lucy Punch, Gemma Jones and Josh Brolin, with director Woody Allen.

‘I don’t know what else I would do’ RICHARD CROUSE

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

You could be forgiven for thinking that there is always a Woody Allen movie playing at your local theatre. Since 1965 he has produced a stream of comedies, romances and dramas at the rate of about one a year. To place his output in context look at the film careers of two of his contemporaries; Mel Brooks has

made only 12 films in the time it took Allen to direct 45 and Carl Reiner has only written seven pictures against Allen’s list of 49 (and counting). His productivity is nothing short of amazing — his latest film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, is at TIFF — but he claims to make films only because, “I don't know what else I would do with my time. “I've made perfectly decent films,” he says, but admits, “some of them may be very good and some may

be very bad … If I was the teacher, I'd give myself a B.” Here’s a look back at the films of one of the hardest working men in show business. La-di-da: 1977’s Oscar winning Annie Hall is Allen’s acknowledged masterpiece, a film Roger Ebert called “just about everyone's favourite Woody Allen movie.” The story of neurotic New York comedian Alvy Singer (Allen) and the ditsy title character (Diane Keaton) is a sweet and funny (“That sex was the

most fun I've ever had without laughing.”) look at contemporary relationships. Sex and death: Of all the themes Allen has covered, sex (“Is sex dirty? Only if it’s done right.”) and death (“On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.”) are his go to topics. Of all his sex and death films the chaotic Sleeper is the funniest. Billed as his “nostalgic look at the future,” it is a satirical sci-fi set to a soundtrack of Dixieland jazz. Funniest

scene? Allen trapped inside an Orgasmatron. Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable: He

says he never watches his own films because, “I think I would hate them,” and in fact, there is one, considered a classic by many, he has watched and says he can’t stand — Manhattan. “I hated that one,” he says. On the flip side he does concede to enjoying Purple Rose of Cairo, Match Point, Bullets Over Broadway, Zelig and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

YouTube has just launched YouTube Festival All Access website, where people are invited to ask questions to the stars of some of the films being screened at TIFF. Until noon Friday, you can submit questions you would like to see answered by Keir Gilchrist, Emma Roberts, and Zach Galifianakis — the stars of It’s Kind of a Funny Story. The YouTube site will also feature sit down interviews with celebrities, interviews from the red carpet, and footage from VIP movie parties. The site will be updated daily through Tuesday, Sept. 21.

Inside the Bell

TIFF Movie reviews Made in Dagenham Genre: Drama Director: Nigel Cole Stars: Sally Hawkins, Miranda Richardson, and Bob Hoskins 888

England’s wide eyed wonder Sally Hawkins plays real life social heroine Rita O’Grady in this feel-good female empowerment outing. O’Grady led a strike by women working in the country’s biggest Ford factory in 1968, which resulted in international policy changes and big payouts for the auto giant. Fun, fun, fun.

TIFF’s $196-million home is right in the middle of downtown’s hottest spots New facility boasts expansive galleries, state-of-the-art cinemas SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

It has been said that in real estate, the three most important words are “location, location location.” It’s thus safe to assume that the decision to put TIFF Bell Lightbox at the corner of King and John streets was thus not made lightly. Speaking to a group of journalists gathered on the building’s sixth-story rooftop recently, the Lightbox’s artistic director, Noah Cowan, points out that the $196 million facility — which opens its doors on

Sunday with a Toronto International Film Festival screening of Bruce McDonald’s new rock drama Trigger — sits in close proximity to many of the city’s most happening spots. “This is the downtown hub,” he says, gesturing westward on King towards the club district and then south in the direction of the CN Tower. “We’re right where the action is.” Of course, the most important action at Lightbox is going to be onscreen, and the premises are nicely tricked-out for those pur-

poses. In addition to the multimedia gallery spaces on the first floor, the Lightbox houses five state-of-theart cinemas, the largest of which is equipped for 70mm projection. Cowan admits that the

large-scale screening possibilities are tantalizing, but he’s more interested in discussing how a couple of the smaller cinemas on the third level — which has been dubbed the “learning floor” — will be utilized. One plan is to use the facilities to host events held by the city’s various cinema studies programs. “There’s never been this kind of shared space in Toronto, where students from different faculties can get together and just exchange ideas,” says Cowan, “and we think that's really exciting.”

Easy A Genre: Comedy Director: Will Gluck Stars: Emma Stone, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson 888

An unidentiﬁed woman visits the Essential Cinema exhibition at the TIFF Bell Lightbox earlier this week.

REDEEM PC POINTS FOR MORE THIS WEEKEND!

A surprisingly hilarious comedy about a good girl (Emma Stone) willfully accepting a less than ladylike reputation at her school to help her fellow rejects and create some semblance of a social life. The script is filled with loving nods to the ’80s

teen flicks of John Hughes and The Scarlet Letter, and it’s a mini-miracle that the resulting film doesn’t crumble under the invited comparisons. PHIL BROWN

Inside Job Genre: Documentary Director: Charles Ferguson Stars: Matt Damon, Christine Lagarde, George Soros Director: Charles Ferguson 888

Probably the most concise and informative cinematic examination of the global economic collapse thus far, director Charles Ferguson bombards his audience with information and expert testimony all filtered through a gentle narration by Matt Damon. At times watching the movie can feel a little too much like being on the receiving end of a long lecture, but Ferguson presents enough terrifying facts and posses enough difficult questions to his subjects (often causing them to want to end the interview) that it’s hard to tear your eyes off the screen.

The King’s Speech Genre: Drama Director: Tom Hooper Stars: Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush 88888

You can’t make this stuff up, this engaging, period bro-mance between the soon-to-be King George VI (Colin Firth) and a commoner (Geoffrey Rush) who is a speech therapist on the eve of the Second World War. But apparently it happened. Rollicking fun and a nail-biter. ANNE BRODIE

Biutiful Genre: Drama Director: Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Stars: Javier Bardem, Maricel Alvarez, Eduard Fernandez 8888

The director of Amores Perros and Babel returns with an intimate study of a man who finds under-the-table work for illegal immigrants, while also struggling to raise two children with a bi-polar prostitute, and deal with the reality that he’s dying of cancer. The film is held to-

gether by a powerful performance from Javier Bardem (who is in almost every frame) that already earned him Best Actor honours at Cannes and is sure to lead to further honours as awards season beckons. PHIL BROWN

Fubar II Genre: Comedy Director: Michael Dowse Stars: Paul Spence, Dave Lawrence 8888

It’s been 8 years since headbangers Terry and Dean were given’r in Fubar but the Alberta boys haven’t lost any of their lust for life. In this sequel, the boys celebrate Dean’s remission from cancer by getting jobs in the oil patch where the inseparable buddies’ relationship is soon strained by a girlfriend, Dean’s attempts to collect workers’ compensation and loads of property damage. It’s clear the boys have a bigger budget but they manage to keep the authentic tone of the original and craft a more structured story STEVE GOW

Carey Mulligan is the first to admit that her latest film, the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, was a role very close to her heart, as she fell in love with the novel before a film was even planned. Nominated for an Oscar last year for her performance in An Education, 25-year-old Mulligan is quickly developing an impressive resume. She sat down with Metro to discuss the themes of the novel, playing a part she never thought she’d get and ignoring the noise of awards season. Were you a fan of the book before auditioning?

Yes. My mum was a big Ishiguro fan, and I read it immediately after her. I loved it, and didn’t really

So why do you think the characters don’t run away?

I don’t see any reason why they would, having kind of briefly lived in that world. You know, they’re brought up to believe if they leave the confines of their school, it’s certain death. There’s nothing out there that’s better than what they have, in their minds. How was it bringing to life a character you loved so much already? Carey Mulligan, left, stars in Never Let Me Go with Keira Knightly, centre.

think it was a part I could get because of all the usual reasons. So when it came around, to get to audition for it was huge for me. It was sort of the biggest part I’d auditioned for — and

kind of the best phone call I’d ever had when I got the job. How have promotions for the ﬁlm been going?

I really like talking about it.

“I LOVE THIS PAPER” “This app is a great way to read Metro when on the go” – Real user review The free Metro Canada application is available on the App Store. Don’t have an iPhone or iPod touch? Visit for news on the move.

I loved the book so much. I like that it’s sort of divisive in a way, and I like answering that “Why don’t they run away?” question. The world is so interesting, it’s kind of fun to analyze it. Be-

I loved it. My agent said to me a while ago you should only ever play the parts that you can’t bear the idea of anyone else playing, and I think that’s how I felt about Kathy. I thought, “No one else could play her!” I mean, I’m sure they can. They can do it brilliantly — better than I can — but they shouldn’t be allowed

to. I should play it. I’d never really played this character who let other people speak before she did and allowed other people to feel more. It was sort of like that feeling of being in a funeral of somebody who has died but you’re not the family, so you can’t cry. We’re heading into awards season again soon. How is living in that world so early in your career?

It sort of feels like that’s somehow always the ultimate goal, and for me that’s not the ultimate goal. It’s sort of like the only merit you can have as a film is if you win an award, and I think the merit you have with the film is if you take a book that people love and you make a film that’s faithful to that book and doesn’t hurt the book and tell a story that moves people in whatever way.

Night raises the Devil

Shyamalan gives up director’s chair for latest thriller Filmmaker prefers fun scary over trauma scary TREVOR PARKER

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has made a career out of assaulting audiences’ nerves with his tense and twisting thrillers, and now for the new film Devil he’s

No remake Dreading the possibility of an unnecessary “reimagining” for Shyamalan’s 1999 hit The Sixth Sense? Fear not, this is one classic title that will remain tamperproof. Shyamalan assures Metro that he accepted a reduced paycheque at the time of filming in order to retain all rights to his Sixth Sense screenplay and that he’s none too keen on ever seeing it remade.

called in reinforcements. Shyamalan serves as Devil’s producer and story creator while bringing the Dowdle brothers (Quarantine) on board to handle directing duties. Opening next Friday, the film tells the tale of five strangers trapped in an elevator and struggling to uncover which of them hides a diabolical secret before time runs out. Originally intending to direct Devil himself, Shyamalan was impressed with the Dowdles’ interpretation: “They just made a really scary movie, which I guess is the bottom line. And it’s the fun scary. You know how there’s like, trauma scary? That’s not what this is. You’ll actually be giggling at yourself because you’re jumping so much. That was really our goal. After seeing Quaran-

The Virginity Hit opens in theatres on Friday.

Teen flick has real characters The Virginity Hit Genre: Comedy Directors: Andrew Gurland and Huck Botko Stars: Matt Bennett, Zack Pearlman 888

A teen-comedy mockumentary for the YouTube age, The Virginity Hit originated from a video posted on producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s website Funnyordie.com featuring budding comedian Zack Pearlman. In the video, Pearlman films and posts online all aspect of his three best friends’ teenage lives, including his friend Matt’s efforts to lose his virginity to his girlfriend Nicole. But After discovering she’s cheated on him, Matt em-

barks on a road to self-discovery and Internet humiliation via his staggeringly inept attempts to sleep with total strangers. Of course, we’ve all been here before; nice guy gets goaded into embarrassing situations in order to become a man in the eyes of his horndog buddies. But in filming the entire thing like a home movie and hiring inexperienced actors who basical play themselves, writer-directors Andrew Gurland and Huck Botko are able to capture the sense of emotional desperation in Matt. And by treating Nicole as a person, rather than an object of lust, his grief is that much more believable. The Virginity Hit isn’t nearly as funny as its lineage might suggest, but the film makes up for it’s lack of laughs by creating real characters anyone can identify with. IAN GORMELY

Documentaries that top the charts

There are music documentaries that are all about the music — concert films that focus solely on the artistry and thrill of live performance — and then there are juicy ones that are all about backstage ego and volatility. I’m Still Here, which follows Joaquin Phoenix’s tumultuous transformation from Oscarnominated actor to shaggy, doughy rapper, would seem to fall into the latter category — if it truly is a documentary, that is, and not an elaborate put-on. Here are some other examples of serious rock-star behaviour:

Bob Dylan: Don’t Look Back A classic from legendary documentarian D.A. Pennebaker, this behind-thescenes look at the 23-year-old Dylan set the standard for this kind of

film. It’s got all that famous imagery: the blackand-white verite pho-

tography, Dylan standing there tossing away cue cards with the lyrics to Subterranean Homesick Blues. I Am Trying to Break Your Heart Visually similar to Don’t Look Back with its grainy, black-and-white cinematography, this documentary

Gimme Shelter Another classic from another legendary documentarian, Albert Maysles. Here, the volatility doesn’t just exist backstage, it permeates every scene, swelling as the film leads up to its explosive climax: the Rolling Stones’ concert at Altamont, where a clash between Hell’s Angels and fans results in death. Maysles follows the band’s 1969 tour, and the feeling of dread is inescapable; the fact that we know what’s coming at the end in no way depletes it of its suspense. Madonna: Truth or Dare A striking mix of black and white with bursts of colour during the concert scenes, which seems fitting for Madonna, given the dramatically fluctuating images of herself she presents to the world. Director Alek Keshishian follows Madonna on her grueling 1990 Blond Ambition tour and provides many of the moments we’ve come to associate with the pop star. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Music videos make a comeback on the Web Music blogs and social media help spread word about innovative videos It wasn’t long ago that the music video was on life support. MTV — which will hold its 27th annual Video Music Awards on Sunday — phased out videos in favour of reality programming and other shows that attracted better ratings. At the same time, the music industry was collapsing and slashed budgets no longer had room for elaborate clips. But recently, the music video has had a revival. Watching music videos has become a central aspect of Internet usage. Music blogs and social media have greased the channels, facilitating the quick, easy spreading of videos, especially those with arresting or controversial visuals. People even buy clips on iTunes. Lady Gaga and Beyonce go on a scantily clad murderous rampage with the nearly 10-minute Telephone; MGMT wanders through the desert with a digitally created creature in Congratulation”; Erykah Badu strips while strolling the path of President John Kennedy assassination in Window Seat; MIA depicts a war on terror against redheads in Born Free. All of these videos exploded on the Internet and became water-cooler moments. Cee Lo’s recent and unprintable hit (titled Forget You for radio) went viral with a video of only its lyrics. And Beyonce’s Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) became so iconic is spawned countless imitators and

even had then Presidentelect Barack Obama imitating the hand choreography. “We’re entering another golden era for music videos,” says Saul Austerlitz, the author of “Money for Nothing: A History of the Music Video from the Beatles to the White Stripes.” “They’ve become part of the cultural discourse again in a way that’s reminiscent of the heyday of the music video, from the early ‘80s to the mid ‘90s.” Today’s audiences can be enormous. Shakira, who last year debuted a music video on Facebook, was “blown away” when her video for the official song of the World Cup, Waka Waka (This One’s for Africa) — a colorful mix of dancing and soccer star cameos — was nearing 100 million views on YouTube. “It can take on a life of its own online,” says Shakira. “And it inspires us artists to be even more creative. With access to so many videos, we need to challenge ourselves to surprise our fans.” The video, which was distributed by the music video and live music web-

site Vevo, has gone on to be watched by more than 173

million people, good enough for the fourth most-viewed video ever on YouTube.

comeback. It’s a long way beyond the novelty videos of OK Go that followed YouTube’s debut in 2005. “If it wasn’t for YouTube, the online video space would not be where it is today,” says David Kohl, executive vice-president of sales and customer operations at the Sony and Universal coowned Vevo.

At the centre of music video’s earlier,

In fact, four of the five most-viewed clips on YouTube are music videos released in the last year. (Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga top the charts.)

Though that’s partly because Vevo (which shares a small percentage of advertising revenue with YouTube) tabulates view counts across platforms, it’s still a striking example of the music video’s dramatic

times was Hype Williams, who — often with his trademark fisheye lens — created much of the iconography of hip-hop. Several of his videos are typically considered among the form’s best, like Missy Elliott’s The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) and Busta Rhymes Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See. But he grew disillusioned with the commercialization of music videos and the recycling of imagery. Williams was coaxed back into music video by Kanye West and has remained active, including recently directing the Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind, watched by nearly 60 million and nominated for three VMAs. “It’s a different time,” says Williams. “It’s an opportunity to find it all over again. I didn’t really think that was possible until

recently, seeing things like this Arcade Fire clip. It shows you that it can be more.” Released last week, the Arcade Fire video is titled The Wilderness Downtown and set to the band’s song We Used to Wait. It’s a new kind of video, a kind particularly suited to the medium of the Web. “It speaks volumes about where music video is going,” says Williams, who’s happy to pass the torch. “It’s a young man’s game.” At the website dedicated to the film (thewildernessdowntown.com), a viewer inputs his or her childhood home address. The film starts with a hooded figure running down golden suburban streets. Another browser window opens full of fluttering birds. Others pop open, too, that use Google Street View and Google Maps to show the old neighbourhood. At the end of the film, the viewer is urged to write a letter to his or her young self. Within days, the site received some 20 million hits and 3 million unique views. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STRONG RELEASES ON FALL SCHEDULE

ith CD sales lagging behind last year by at least 12 per cent, the music industry is hoping that a parade of big-name releases will mitigate some of the damage. The fourth quarter is always make-or-break time. Here’s some of what we can expect this month: Interpol/Interpol (Out now): Dark hipster band from New York releases their fourth album and loses bass player Carlos Den-

gler. No one is saying why. Stone Sour/Audio Secrecy (Out now): Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor reconvenes his original band (he was in Stone Sour for five years before joined Slipknot) to record a third album. And given that Slipknot’s future is still in doubt after the death of bass player Paul Gray, this may become Corey’s fulltime gig. Bachman & Turner/Bachman & Turner (Out now): BTO in everything but name. I saw them perform at the High Voltage Festival in the UK back in July. They

still got it. Fred Turner’s still got that growl. Brandon Flowers/Flamingo (Tuesday): While the rest of the Killers are feeling burned out after five years of constant work, their singer seems content to keep on keeping on. Production credits include Brendan O’Brien and Daniel Lanois. Linkin Park/A Thousand Sun (Tuesday): This is just the band’s fourth proper studio album since 1996 and is once again a co-production between Mike Shinoda and guru Rick Ru-

Spears fights abuse claims

GETTY IMAGES

Pop singer denies allegations of harassment, abuse by bodyguard expects suit to be dismissed

Britney Spears denied a bodyguard’s accusations that she sexually harassed him and abused her children, saying Thursday in a statement on her website that authorities looked into his claims but found no reason to act. The statement said the pop singer and her attorney expect Fernando Flores’ sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit to be dismissed. “This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself,” the statement read. “The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores’ accusations and have closed the case without further action.”

In court The first hearing in Flores’ case is scheduled for January 25.

Federline still has custody Federline has custody of the former couple’s sons, but Spears has substantial visitation with the boys. Spears remains under a court-ordered conservatorship in which her personal and financial affairs are controlled by her father and an attorSpears did not say when the investigation was conducted and the department doesn’t release details of its inquiries. Flores claimed in his lawsuit that Spears repeatedly exposed herself to him and made other unwanted sexual advances. He also claimed she used his belt to discipline her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and acted inappropriately in front of them.

ney, and monitored by a judge. The conservatorship has prevented Spears from being deposed or testifying during previous cases in which she was sued. Despite a high-profile custody battle, Spears and Federline reached an agreement in 2008 and neither side has sought changes to the custody arrangement in nearly a year, court records show. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The bodyguard’s employment with Spears appeared to be brief — his court filings state he started working for her in February, and by June he was no longer on her security detail. Flores also sued his former employer, Advanced Security Concepts Corp. A woman who answered the company’s phone Wednesday declined to comment and refused to be identified. Flores is seeking

Super Food

Coconuts Coconuts are one of the most versatile super foods. According to raw food nutritionist Christina Agnew, coconut water is nature’s very own sports drink. Low in calories, the water is loaded with electrolytes such as potassium. Agnew’s advice is to go for the young green coconuts rather than the brown for their sweeter taste. Coconut oil, or butter, is made up of medium chain fatty acids, and more likely to be used as an energy source than to be stored as fat. Coconut oil is also great for removing make up and moisturizing skin since it has antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-bacterial properties.

Michigan’s where the art is

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

Artists, thousands of tourists flock to ArtPrize in Grand Rapids ArtPrize, the Grand Rapids, Mich., art show and competition that surprised locals by drawing tens of thousands of visitors when it debuted in 2009, is back for a second year. And it’s expected to be even bigger this time. The southwestern Michigan city’s vibrant arts scene will get an infusion of energy from 1,713 artists displaying their works for 19 days in 192 venues, from plazas, hotels and museums, to restaurants, coffee shops and parks. One of the most unusual aspects of the event, which runs Sept. 22-Oct. 10, is that the public decides the top 10 winners through American Idol — style voting. Last year, more than 37,000 people voted on their ArtPrize favourites either online or by text message.

“It’s designed for maximum openness in participation,” ArtPrize founder Rick DeVos said in an interview. “The extent to which people got it the first year and ran with it even further than we had imagined was amazing.” Paul Ha, director of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, said winners of most art competitions are decided by a few professionals. “It’s very rare to have such democracy in art, the fact that the public vote counts,” said Ha, who is scheduled to speak in ArtPrize’s lecture series. The success of the inaugural ArtPrize caught many off-guard. Throngs spent hours or days walking between the 159 venues that displayed the work of 1,262 artists. Some restaurants ran out of food and were

Clemens saga: Jays get involved

DAVID J. PHILLIP/THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Toronto Blue Jays handed over two boxes of documents to U.S. officials in the steroid investigation of retired pitcher Roger Clemens, who once played for the team, police said Thursday. Toronto police would not reveal what kind of documents were involved, but said they came from the headquarters of the American League team. The request came from the U.S. Department of Jus-

tice and the team turned over the documents in June, said Det.-Const. Jay Gill, who handled the case. Team lawyers prepared the documents after police arrived with a court order, he added. “I basically picked up all the documents that were requested in the court order and I delivered two bankers boxes to the Crown,” Gill said. The Crown attorney’s office then transferred the

files to investigators in Washington — the extent of the Toronto force’s involvement in the case, police said. “They are the primary investigators and they just essentially asked us for our assistance and we did,” said Const. Tony Vella. Clemens is accused of lying to U.S. Congress about whether he used performance enhancing drugs.

Roger Clemens pitched for the Blue Jays from 1997-98.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was in a two-vehicle accident near his home Thursday morning but was unhurt and hours later practised as usual with his team just days before the season opener. The crash, at an intersection in Boston’s Back Bay area, knocked over a light pole and sent a passenger in the minivan that collided with Brady’s car to a hospital with injuries that were serious but not considered life-threatening, a police report said. A witness told The Associated Press the two-time Super Bowl MVP was approaching the intersection on a green light when his black Audi sedan collided with the minivan. The 21-year-old driver of the Mercury Villager minivan, Ludgero Rodrigues, was cited Thursday for failing to stop at a red light,

based on witnesses statements, police said. Two other people in the minivan were able to exit and had no visible injuries, they said. The police report, which did not name Brady, said the driver of the Audi had no visible injuries and was evaluated by Emergency Medical Services. It said a 49-year-old passenger had to be freed with the Jaws of Life and was taken to a hospital.

Kuchar silences opponents at BMW Golfer sits atop leaderboard with 64 in Illinois Tiger Woods endures rough start on the links, something he’s getting used to this year Tiger’s troubles It was not a good day for Tiger Woods at the BMW Championship in Lemont, Ill. He began by hitting a poor bunker shot, an even worse chip and a bad putt for a double bogey. He missed a three-foot birdie putt on the ninth. With an iron into the par-5 15th, he hit it well left into a tree and had to settle for par. Woods is No. 51 in the standings, and the top 30 make it to the Tour Championship. He likely needs to finish around fifth place this week to go to East Lake in Atlanta. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Already having his best season, Matt Kuchar got off to his best start of the year Thursday in the BMW Championship. A mystery season for Tiger Woods took another unexpected turn. Kuchar, who won the opening FedEx Cup playoff event to position himself for the $10-million US bonus, wasted no time putting his name atop the leaderboard. He finished with an 18-foot birdie putt for a 7-under 64 and a oneshot lead over Ryan Moore. Ian Poulter of England, who has finished in the top 10 only once since winning the Match Play Championship in February, had a 66 for the best round of the afternoon despite opening with a double bogey.

Woods also started with a double bogey, but he never got those shots back. With one last bogey on the 18th hole, he wound up with a 73 to leave himself in a big hole as he tries to advance to the final stage of the playoffs in Atlanta. It was his highest round at Cog Hill since he opened with a 73 in the 2005 Western Open. It also ended a streak of 11 consecutive rounds in the 60s on the public course in the Chicago suburbs where he has won five times. Calgary’s Stephen Ames also carded a 73. Woods should be used to rough starts by now. His scoring average in the first round this year is 71.08, compared with 68.9 a year ago in the same tourna-

ments. Even so, it was peculiar to hear him discuss how much ground he has to make up — not against Kuchar, but the finish he needs to get into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings and advance to the Tour Championship. “As of right now, I’m only five shots back out of that spot,” Woods said. “That’s not bad.” Everything is good with Kuchar at the moment, except his voice. He is playing so well — a winner at The Barclays, a tour-high 10 finishes in the top 10 this year — that there’s really nothing left for him to say. Not that he had a choice. Kuchar is currently dealing with laryngitis. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cowboys hope to finally break Super Bowl jinx Jerry Jones’ boys looking to be the first team in NFL history to play for the championship on home field

The Super Bowl used to be a simple enough event that NFL owners could decide in the spring where to put next season’s championship game. It was that way in 1971, when the Dallas Cowboys showed up to the league meetings hoping to lure the game to their new state-of-the-art stadium. Then Oakland’s Al Davis reminded his AFC peers that Dallas had just played in the Super Bowl. Giving them the next Super Bowl, he warned, could mean sending one of their teams to Texas Stadium for the title game. That spurred a push for Miami, which had hosted three of the first five Super Bowls. On the 12th vote, Dallas was still ahead, but not by enough to seal it. So owners gave up and went with New Orleans. Guess which teams wound up meeting there? Yep, the Cowboys and Dolphins. Nearly 40 years later, that’s still about as close as any team has come to playing a Super Bowl on its home field. Call it a Super Bowl jinx or call it a fluke. The bottom line is the same: 37 Super Bowls have been held in an NFL stadium and never has the home team been involved. The next championship is being held at Cowboys Stadium, and Jerry Jones has made no secret of wanting his boys to break the streak. Jones noted the teams that have played in the most Super Bowls — Dallas, Pittsburgh, New England and Denver — haven’t been eligible to host because they have cold weather and outdoor stadiums.

Wide receiver Dez Bryant of the Dallas Cowboys is pictured last week during a pre-season game at Cowboys Stadium — the location of this season’s Super Bowl.

Only ﬁve would-be 5 Super Bowl hosts have even made the playoﬀs. The 1994 Miami Dolphins were the only division winners; the rest (the Dolphins in ’70, ’78 and ’98; and Tampa Bay in 2000) got in as wild cards.

athletes under the guidance of wise and qualified educators have been allowed to prevail. Many members of a certain generation recall the coaches and phys-ed instructors they encountered as the ones who had the most significant and lasting influence on their lives. They demanded attendance at early morning training sessions, fostered fierce competition and pushed bodies to exhaustion. They required discipline. But those teachers also volunteered their time and took an interest in the results. For most of them success in the classroom and on the turf were not exclusive of each other but rather a necessary partnership. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disquieting to see physical education programs at many schools dismantled because they are no longer

or kids and grownups alike the return to the serious season of academics and work delivers butterflies to the stomach ... a nervousness that just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be escaped as the carefree days of vacation evaporate. But the field of play is there to ease the pain. At universities, colleges, and high schools across Canada, practices have begun in earnest. Gym teachers and coaches are putting in the extra hours to entice students to spend a little more time beyond the classroom. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope they continue to succeed. Somehow sport has always made hitting the books a little more tolerable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long been a comfort to believe that at Canadian institutions, student-

considered part of the core curriculum. Worse still is the creeping professionalism of university athletics where the stakes are too high. This has led to violence and cheating. That Human Growth Hormone should be employed by a Canadian university athlete is a dark sign indeed. It means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the road to missing the point. Joseph Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill in his remarkable novel, Netherland, written about cricket in New York City, calls sport â&#x20AC;&#x153;... a fantastically important part of culture.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a way of perpetuating the world of childhood and creating a sort of refuge,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill goes on to say. That kind of sentiment rings true at this time of year as we all go back to school and learn that sport has a unique and lasting value unto itself.

Everything is fine: Crabtree 49ers receiver insists he is healthy and ready for action despite missing pre-season Michael Crabtree’s sore neck is much better, he insists he’s ready to play after missing the entire pre-season and the spat last week with teammate Vernon Davis is long since done. Crabtree, the second-

year San Francisco 49ers receiver, will start his first season opener Sunday at Seattle. He didn’t join the team until October last year following a 71-day contract stalemate by the 10th-overall draft pick in 2009.

Crabtree hasn’t played in the pre-season and many are already wondering whether his timing with quarterback Alex Smith will be affected come Sunday at noisy Qwest Field. He hurt his neck leading

Gemini May 22-June 21 You may not be able to explain why you distrust someone but your instincts rarely let you down, so don’t ignore them. Neptune, planet of illusion, is strong in your chart over the next 24 hours, so watch out for trickery.

Leo July 23-Aug.23 The more someone tries to persuade you that what they are saying is true the more inclined you will be to disbelieve them. You know from experience that too much talk often masks too little in the way of substance. Virgo Aug. 24- Sept. 22 Deliver on what you promised, even if you have to go out of your way and incur extra costs to do so. Your reputation is of the utmost importance and you should be investing in it.
