No breaks leading us to breaking point? Keeping your cool in your job can tax your psyche and lead to burnout, says U of T prof Today’s wired world has many of us constantly focused on work Keeping your cool all the time at work can be the quickest route to a burnout, a University of Toronto professor has found. “Given the emotional nature of the workplace nowadays, where everything now relies on teamwork and interdependence, we need to be aware of this,” said John Trougakos, assistant professor of organizational behaviour at the Rotman School of Management. His research, done with professors at Purdue and Rice universities, is a first look at the wear and tear on employees who have to stay neutral — from doctors and judges through store clerks and callcentre workers. Published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, the study also examined the debilitating downside of jobs that demand “service with a smile” from employees. “We looked at what are some of the

costs of doing so,” Trougakos said on Thursday. “Regulating our behaviour can be very taxing internally. “People who do this tend to be burned out. They can’t talk to anyone at work, they avoid social interaction, or go home and have a blow-up with their spouse. The consequences for other facets of their lives (are) serious.” In effect, “during breaks, people actually have to take a break.” Unfortunately, our “far more emotionally laden” economy is now 24-7 with smartphones, Twitter and Facebook, he said.

Barefoot man was homeless Accused in officer’s killing owns commercial building in St. Catharines One business owner said Kachkar told him he had two grown children CARLOS OSORIO/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Const. Sharon Kent, of 31 Division, signs a book of condolences for Sgt. Ryan Russell at Toronto Police Headquarters.

A homeless man described as odd but polite and well dressed was charged with first-degree murder Thursday in the death of a police officer killed by a stolen snowplow. Police Chief Bill Blair identified the accused as Richard Esber Kachkar of no fixed address. Sgt. Ryan Russell died of severe head injuries Wednesday after he attempted to stop the plow on a slushy city street and was struck. “This has been an investigation which has been aided by the availability of

video from Sgt. Russell’s scout car,” Blair said. Several civilian witnesses also stepped forward, and police are grateful, Blair said. The province’s Special Investigations Unit, which was probing the situation because a civilian was injured, said it planned to canvass the area where Kachkar was shot. Police were also working with Russell’s family to arrange the funeral for the 35-year-old officer. He left behind his wife Christine and a two-yearold son.

WEEKEND, JANUARY 14-16, 2011

The accused

Richard Esber Kachkar, 44, (pictured above in a Facebook photo) is believed to have lived in St. Catharines at one point. He also faces two counts of attempted murder. Kachkar remained in hospital Thursday recovering from gunshot wounds sustained during his arrest. He was apprehended by heavily armed emergency task force officers about seven kilometres from where Russell was left mortally wounded on the bloodstained snow. Relatives of the accused were unable to shed any light on him or the incident. Anwar Kachkar, of Edmonton, said he hadn’t seen his nephew in decades and had no connection to him. His parents “died a long time ago,” the uncle said. Another Edmonton-based relative said she believed the accused had lived in Vancouver for some time before moving to southwestern Ontario. “He’s a distant cousin but we haven’t been in contact with him for about 12 to 15 years,” the woman said.

“This is a terrible incident that does serve, unfortunately, to remind us all of the dangerous work that our law enforcement oﬃcers undertake on our behalf. We want to have him, his family, his friends and his colleagues in our thoughts and prayers today, and we would ask everyone to do the same.” PRIME MINISTER STEPHEN HARPER, WHO WAS IN TORONTO THURSDAY FOR AN UNRELATED ANNOUNCEMENT

It was still not certain when the funeral would be held but officers from across North America are expected to attend. Colleagues and friends described the officer as a dedicated and friendly family man. People lined up at police headquarters to sign a

book of condolence while several pages have also been filled in a book of condolence at Toronto City Hall. His death marked the first for a Toronto police officer in the line of duty since 2002. Adrienne Urquhart, a spokeswoman for the

Good Shepherd shelter close to where a barefoot man jumped into the snowplow and sped off, said a Richard Kachkar spent Tuesday night at the facility. He left early Wednesday without informing staff, she said.

Flags outside the Toronto Police College flew at halfmast Thursday in memory of Sgt. Ryan Russell as 42 new recruits joined the force he died in service of. The ceremony began with a moment of silence in honour of Russell, who was struck and killed Wednesday by a stolen snowplow. He was 35, an

11-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service and the son of a retired Toronto police officer. Police Chief Bill Blair stood with Mayor Rob Ford as the recruits marched in unison through the college’s gymnasium. Families and friends of the new recruits watched proudly, snapping pictures

and taking videos. “By celebrating new recruits we remind ourselves of his sacrifice,” said Blair. “It’s OK to smile today.” Ford said he wanted to attend Thursday’s graduation to say thank you. “My thanks are even deeper after the tragic events of yesterday,” he said. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Spike in cases spurs expanded flu clinics This year’s shot protects against H3N2, H1N1 and a B strain ‘Everyone is at risk of getting the flu:’ Official CARLOS OSORIO/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE FILE

Toronto Public Health has expanded its flu-shot clinics after a surge in cases has jammed emergency rooms, forced some hospitals to postpone elective surgeries and led to outbreaks at dozens of long-term care facilities. There have been more than 850 laboratory-confirmed flu cases in Toronto while the annual average is 100. There have also been 10 flu-related deaths and 95 hospitalizations. However, Vinita Dubey, associate medical officer of health with Toronto Public Health, said those numbers are likely much higher. “For those people that were sick in bed, didn’t go anywhere or maybe just went to a walk-in clinic — they’re not counted in those numbers,” Dubey

Since viruses are continually evolving, Toronto Public Health recommends getting vaccinated every year.

said. “It’s definitely an undercount of how the flu is impacting the city.” About 20 per cent of Canadians get the flu every year. Cases include the H3N2 strain, which disproportionately affects the elderly

and those with underlying health conditions, as well as the H1N1 strain. Outbreaks have been confirmed at 46 long-term care facilities in Toronto and local hospitals are also overwhelmed. “We’ve definitely been

Vaccinations Four additional Toronto Public Health clinics have been opened to offer free flu shots until Jan. 28. The full vaccination schedule is available online. So far, about 28,000 people in Toronto have been vaccinated, which is below the average of 30,000 to 35,000. Dubey encouraged Torontonians to take advantage of the expanded clinics.

Premier can’t make sense of MPP’s math

Rabbit’s. Big year

FRANK GUNN/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto has pledged $49.5M for Games Executive committee to receive report calling for $47M more Toronto’s projected spending on 2015 Pan Am Games venues has almost doubled, prompting the city’s budget chief to worry about “a ticking time bomb.” Included in the new capital costs are as much as $1.6 million for upgrades to the city-operated track at York University. Staff are recommending Toronto also spend up to $23 million from reserve funds for soil remediation on land to be used for the aquatic centre at the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus, and $700,000 for a new bicycle motocross course at Etobicoke’s Centennial Park. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Can we afford it?

Lauren Rand and Paul Haslip are shown with proofs of the Year of the Rabbit stamp, which they designed.

Toronto is responsible for 44 per cent of Pan Am venue costs, with the remainder coming from the provincial and federal governments. But Coun. Mike Del Grande said during budget deliberations Thursday that there is no Pan Am money in the 2011 capital budget. City manager Joe Pennachetti isn’t concerned. He said the city’s share of cleanup costs, which represents almost half of the increase, will be paid through reserve funds.

Stamp of approval A snake getting close to a rabbit? Usually, it’s not a happy ending for the latter. But in the world of philately (stamps, that is) it’s worked out fine. Toronto graphic designer Paul Haslip, who was born in the Chinese lunar calendar’s Year of the Snake (1953) and is a partner in the firm HM&E Design Communications, collaborated with colleague Lauren Rand to create a winning design for Canada Post’s Year of the Rabbit stamp, beating out two other contenders.

Ten per cent rebates on electricity bills that kicked in Jan. 1 should have quelled critics who were demanding the provincial portion of the HST be removed from hydro, Premier Dalton McGuinty suggested Thursday. Instead, Niagara Falls Liberal backbencher Kim Craitor broke ranks with his government this month to say he doesn’t support having the HST on hydro bills, which started last July when Ontario merged its eight per cent provincial sales tax with the five per cent GST.

A ‘silent killer of jobs’ and reduces growth, Harper says Prime Minister Stephen Harper is stalking a “silent killer of jobs.” He has switched on the green light for a war on red tape. He said a commission looking at reducing red tape, especially for small businesses, will start consultations next week. Red tape is a “hidden tax and a silent killer of jobs,” Harper said in Toronto Thursday. When governments over-regulate, Harper said, red tape becomes too much for entrepreneurs to bear and reduces opportunities for growth. The Red Tape Reduction Commission will hold countrywide consultations

Money For Nothing tune in dire straits Watchdog will take action on the song ban only if there is a complaint Music fans around the world were up in arms Thursday after a broadcast watchdog deemed the Dire Straits hit Money For Nothing unfit for Canadian radio because of a gay slur in the lyrics, while others applauded the decision and argued society has changed since the song came out in 1985. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council ruled Wednesday that the song violates the industry’s code of ethics because the lyrics include the word “faggot” three times. The scrutiny of the Dire Straits song was prompted by a complaint from a listener of radio station CHOZ-FM in St. John’s, N.L. The panel noted that Mon-

ey For Nothing would be acceptable for broadcast if suitably edited. Radio veteran and Metro columnist Alan Cross says the issue isn’t necessarily the song, but the inconsistency of the rules. And he points out that it only takes one complaint to set such changes in motion. “There are people who are going to take (the council) to task and say: ‘Look, the lyrics are written from the perspective of a character who was observed by the songwriter actually saying these things,’” Cross said. “So there’s a contextual thing there that seems to be absent from this particular ruling. I don’t know why.

Former pastor charged with sex assault Police in Guelph have charged a former pastor with a sex assault alleged to have taken place more than two decades ago. James (Jim) Boudreau, 67, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of sexual assault.

Police say the charge stems from an incident alleged to have happened in 1984. Investigators say Boudreau was a pastor at St. John The Baptist Church at the time. Boudreau was released on undertaking and is due in court March 1. Police say Boudreau has been a parish priest involved in a number of churches in southern Ontario. THE CANADIAN PRESS

People walk among debris Thursday after landslides in the Caleme neighbourhood in Teresopolis, Brazil.

Hundreds killed in Brazilian mudslides Survivors dig at earth barehanded but only find bodies The death toll could rise sharply, say officials More rain expected this weekend The power was out, but lightning flashes illuminated the horror as villagers watched neighbours’ homes vanish under a wall of mud and water, turning neighbourhoods into graveyards. It was a scene of muddy destruction in mountain towns north of Rio, where at least 464 people were killed when torrential rains unleashed mudslides in the pre-dawn hours Wednesday, burying people alive as they slept. In the remote Campo Grande neighbourhood of Teresopolis, family members pulled the lifeless bodies of loved ones from the muck. Flooding and mudslides are common in Brazil when the summer rains come, but this week’s slides were among the worst in recent memory. The disasters unduly punish the poor, who often live in rickety shacks perched perilously on steep hillsides with little or no foundations. Only a few rescuers had

‘Raw courage’ as shot politico amazes doctors In a ‘major milestone,’ Giffords moves arms and legs and opens eyes Next step, removing breathing tube THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doctors say critically injured U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has been making amazingly strong progress each day since an attempted assassination Saturday. Giffords is moving both legs and both arms, has opened both eyes and is responding to friends and family, doctors said Thursday. They’ve helped her sit up and dangle her legs from the bed. She is able to lift her legs on command. With her closest friends from Congress holding her hand, Giffords opened her left eye and tried to focus on loved ones for the first time.

Saturday’s shooting left six people dead, 13 wounded and the nation shaken. Giffords, 40, was holding an event at a Tucson, Ariz., shopping centre.

Teachers study why Quebec kids like English Report suggests students often have one motivation for opting for English education: Perfect bilingualism A Quebec teachers’ union has commissioned a study to probe the question of why so many youngsters are attracted to English for their post-secondary studies. It views the trend as worrisome. Results of the study, commissioned by the Institute for Research on French in the Americas at the request of the union, were released Thursday. Among the findings: The vast majority of students who attend English junior college, known in Quebec as CEGEP, intend to work in English or to pursue university studies in English.

Language talks The study comes amid a debate in Quebec about whether to extend Quebec’s language laws to CEGEP — where Quebec students enrol in two- or three-year programs after high school. There are growing calls, including from the opposition Parti Québécois, to extend the rules that force non-Anglos to attend French school and make them also apply in CEGEPs.

“Despite linguistic legislation, which for 33 years has had the objective of making French the nor-

mal and daily language of all Quebecers, we must observe that English remains remarkably attractive today,” the study notes. “This attraction is reflected in the continuing interest of many francophone and allophone students who opt for English college studies, often despite a primary and secondary education entirely in French.” The provincial language law — also known as Bill 101 — restricts access to English-language primary and secondary schools to the children of parents who studied in English in Canada.

Belgian pigeons race to top of auction block New class of wealthy Chinese spend on fine wines, luxury cars, horses, dogs and pigeons, observer says GEERT VANDEN WIJNGAERT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The coop where Blue Prince lived stands empty now, the racing pigeon gone for good. At $205,000 for barely a pound of feathers and lightning-fast fowl, Blue Prince has a one-way ticket to pampered retirement and lifelong breeding in China, which these days has become a predictable destination for topflight birds. Over the past month, two auctions of Belgian racing pigeons have set one record after another, confirming Belgium as the age-old prime breeding hub of the birds — and China as the new centre of global demand.

A man holds a pigeon at Pigeon Paradise in Belgium.

“They want to have the best pigeons, own the best pigeons, breed with the best pigeons,” said Stefan Roosen after wealthy Chinese buyers helped push the sale of the 218-bird colony of his late father, Pros, to a single-auction world record $1.8 million

last weekend. In general, the top birds bought in Belgium are not raced in China — it would be too expensive to lose them — but their offspring are. In European pigeon racing, birds are taken up to 1,000 kilometres from their lofts and released. Races are decided by which bird flies back the fastest. From its humble origins as a working-class pastime across Belgium and Western Europe over the past century, pigeon racing spread across the globe and developed particular cachet in modern-day China.

Pope Benedict XVI prays before the tomb of Pope John Paul II in the Vatican Grottoes.

Signs point to Pope approving miracle Workers are restoring chapel where John Paul II’s remains likely would be moved for better public access Evidence is mounting that the Pope will soon approve the miracle needed to beatify Pope John Paul II, with a Polish bishop saying the announcement could come as early as Friday. Italian news media have been reporting that in recent weeks Vatican-sponsored panels have confirmed that a young French nun was miraculously

cured of Parkinson’s disease after praying to the Polish-born John Paul. Polish Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek, former No. 2 of the Polish Bishops’ Conference, said the Vatican was expected to announce Friday that Pope Benedict XVI had approved the miracle. He said the beatification date could be as early as May 1, though other re-

ports have said it could come later in the year given the enormous preparations that will be necessary to host the influx of pilgrims for the event. Beatification is the first major step to possible sainthood. A second miracle, occurring after beatification, must be confirmed for John Paul to be declared a saint. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fate of 10,000 full-time, 18,000 part-time workers unclear Contracts will end when stores close down The big red Zellers banner will begin to fade from many strip malls and shopping centres across the country next year, to be replaced by the giant red bull’s-eye logo of Target, its flashy U.S. cousin. Target Corp. announced Thursday it will spend $1.83 billion to take over the leases of as many as 220 Zellers stores from its owner, the storied Hudson’s Bay Company. The Zellers brand won’t disappear altogether; Zellers will continue to lease the locations from Target and run them as Zellers stores for the next two

The Minneapolis, Minn.based chain, which helped coin the phrase “discount

chic,” will cherry-pick up to 220 stores from the 279 locations currently under the Zellers banner and plans to have between 100 to 150 up and running by 2014. Store locations Target does not want could be sold to other retail giants like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. or could remain in the hands of Hudson’s Bay. Target president and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the workforce in a Target store is about double the size of the average 110 employees per Zellers store. He added the deal would create 20,000 new jobs.

MICHAEL DE ADDER

A lot of hard work and door knocking. I knew I was very young to be in politics and very unknown so I had to prove myself one door at a time. So it’s kind of simple if you think about it, but most people underestimate the power of getting out there and talking to people. It’s easy to complain about the government, but most

people step aside when they see what it requires to follow through with a campaign. What kept you going?

Did you receive any backlash from the older, more established politicians when you ﬁrst stepped into council?

I’m a pretty determined person; once I set my mind on something there’s normally no changing it. So the more people told me I couldn’t do something, the more I wanted to prove them wrong (laughs) and I just felt I had a lot to offer Pickering. I’d lived there my whole life and there are some things that really frustrated me. Also, I think being so young it made me think about the future and what I wanted to do about it.

It definitely wasn’t fun. I experienced the hurt and the anger of people not taking me seriously and I used that to motivate me even more. It didn’t happen overnight, but I stopped listening to the negativity of certain colleagues or skeptics, focused on what I wanted to accomplish and I found that really spoke for itself. And now that you’ve been elected again, have those critics changed their tune?

Yes and no. Some people that were skeptics at the

beginning I work well with now, and others are a little bit nervous and angry that their predictions about me weren’t correct. (Laughs) We’ve seen a spate of ambitious young politicians crash and burn recently. Where do you think they went wrong?

I always feel staying focused on the community and what you need to do is the safest way to have a career. Because if you get elected and start making your priority other things, or building a platform for a future career, that’s where I think people run the biggest mistake. JORDANA DIVON

As Rocco Rossi can tell you, running for mayor isn’t always the most successful way to make a difference. Before stepping into the ring, the former city candidate spent five years doing great work at the Heart and Stroke Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to cardiovascular health and research.

Seth Rogan and Jay Chou star in The Green Hornet, but the real star of the movie may be the car.

Reel Guys

RICHARD CROUSE & MARK BRESLIN SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

A hero with whimsy Richard Crouse and Mark Breslin debate the merits of The Green Hornet Rogan’s take on Britt Reid will divide people Kato and car are real heroes Richard Crouse: Superhero movies don’t generally get January releases. Typically they’re summer fare, warm weather entertainments catering to teens looking for something cool to pass the school break. But The Green Hornet isn’t a typical superhero movie. Directed by art house favourite Michel Gondry and starring comedian Seth Rogen, it adds something new to the masked crime fighter genre: whimsy. Mark Breslin: When I heard Seth Rogan was cast as a superhero, I thought it had to be one of the signs of the apocalypse. But now I see why. The character isn’t a superhero at all — he’s a rich doofus who’s playing at being a superhero. The real superhero in the movie is

Plot synopsis An all-star cast, including Seth Rogen, Christoph Waltz and Cameron Diaz, headline the updated adventures the Green Hornet. In this version Britt Reid (Rogen), heir to his late father’s publishing

Kato, his sidekick. And I thought the mixture of humour and action worked pretty well. RC: I agree. As sidekick Kato Chou is a cool character with great moves and some of the movie’s best lines. Rogen, however, will divide people. I think his fans will like his slacker ParisHilton-with-chest-hair interpretation of Britt Reid but Green Hornet purists will find his take sacrilegious. Maybe they should stay home and rent The Dark Knight. Again.

company, enlists martial arts wiz Kato (Jay Chou) to form a masked crime fighting duo. Together they take on the leader of the city’s underworld, Benjamin Chudnofsky (Waltz). Ratings: Richard’s: 888 Mark’s: 888

MB: The superhero genre has been moving in this direction for awhile. Iron Man was a guy with money and a suit. The Green Lantern, out later this year, is about a man and his magic ring. These are not “supermen.” Meanwhile, I thought Christoper Waltz made a good villain, Cameron Diaz could have been played by any model, and the 3-D was unnecessary. The car, however, deserves an Oscar. RC: I think we’re on the same page with this one. I

thought Cameron Diaz was the one nod to the typical masked crime fighter movie. She’s fine in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Iron Man role but is given little to do and the car would make Knight Rider’s Kit green with envy. But the 3D? I have to ask, What 3-D? The only thing the lame 3-D adds to this movie is a few bucks to the ticket price. MB: But I did like how Gondry couldn’t help himself and had to add a psychedelic montage sequence toward the end of the movie! I was, however, disappointed by Green Hornet’s lair. RC: I liked Gondry’s flourishes. I think the great thing about the movie is how it pays tribute to the original while bringing the story and the characters into Rogen and Gondry’s strange universe.

They found their Perfect Match. Have you?

Jay Baruchel says filming his hockey movie, Goon, was more like a romance for him — he started dating costar Alison Pill. Baruchel says he and the 25-year-old actress were drawn to each other almost as soon as they began filming in Winnipeg three months ago. Baruchel says he met Pill for the first time on the set of Goon, based on the real-life story of a bouncer who overcomes long odds to rise through the ranks of semi-professional hockey.

WEEKEND, JANUARY 14-16, 2011

See it twice 88888 | See it now 8888 | Worth watching 888 | Yawn 88 | Don’t bother 8 Nostalgia For the Light

Dilemma’s laughs are hard to find

Genre: Documentary Director: Patricio Guzman 8888

The great Chilean director Patricio Guzman has documented his country’s dark political legacy onscreen for 40 years. His new documentary Nostalgia For the Light continues that project, albeit in an unusual

The Dilemma Genre: Comedy Director: Ron Howard Stars: Vince Vaughn, Kevin James, Wynona Rider 8 1⁄2

In theory The Dilemma is a comedy, but you wouldn’t necessarily guess that by watching it. Kevin James is given his standard stream of boring fat guy jokes and Vince Vaughn spits out the motor mouth verbal diarrhea that made his career, yet somehow the laughs don’t materialize. The screenplay presents the well-worn concept of whether or not you should tell your best friend if you know that his wife is cheating. Unfortunately at this point that’s really not enough to build an entire movie around, no matter how many indulgent improvised monologues are given to Vaughn. The movie returns Ron Howard to the gentle comedy roots that kicked off

Another Year Genre: Drama Director: Mike Leigh Stars: Leslie Manville, Jim Broadbent, Ruth Sheen 8888

Another Year is another painfully realistic domestic drama with plenty of comedy from British master Mike Leigh. The simple story follows a year in the life of a married couple London River his directorial career in titles like Night Shift and Splash. However, it feels like years of producing Oscar-bait have dulled Howard’s comedic instincts, and while he can certainly create prettier pictures with his camera now, he’s lost the ability to make people laugh. This is

the sort of top-to-bottom failure that tends to get shoved into theatres during the January dumping grounds and the movie will sadly make money due to a dearth of competition. The best approach is to simply ignore it. You don’t want to encourage these people. PHIL BROWN

Genre: Drama Director: Rachid Bouchareb Stars: Brenda Blethyn, Sotigui Kouyaté, Francis Magee 8888

Set in the wake of the July 2005 terrorist attacks in England, London River weaves a bare narrative about a worried mother (two-time Oscar nominee Brenda Blethyn) who reluc-

way. What begins as a movie about astronomy — one of the filmmaker’s childhood passions — transforms into meditation on the act of looking: Guzman lowers his penetrating gaze from the stars to find the literally buried evidence of Chile’s totalitarian history. ADAM NAYMAN

(Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen) whose seemingly effortless domestic bliss is shown in contrast to their perpetually single and consequently perpetually depressed friends. Leslie Manville’s portrayal of an aging, emotionally stunted alcoholic is heartbreaking, hilarious, and awards-worthy. PHIL BROWN

tantly consorts with an African Muslim (Sotigui Kouyaté) as they both respectively seek their missing children. Marked by stunning performances, this quiet and understated drama is as remarkable for its stillness as it is for weaving heart-wrenching anxiety. London River is an undeniably moving tale.

Apologies are Kutcher’s key to a good sex scene NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES

Ashton Kutcher wants to make it clear that having sex on screen is far from sexy. “It’s always slightly more complicated than it is in real life,” he says. “You’re always waiting, wondering when the word ‘cut’ is going to be said when you’re doing those scenes. You’re there and you’re doing the scene and you’re like, OK. How far are we taking this?”

His latest film, No Strings Attached, called for several such scenes opposite Natalie Portman, and the requests of director Ivan Reitman weren’t exactly making things easier, Kutcher says. “Ivan would come back and say, ‘I think you need to orgasm sooner,’” he remembers. “So your male machismo is like, ‘No, no, no. It would take me much longer than this.’” So what’s his secret for making the filming of sex scenes less awkward? “I just start by apologizing,” he

says with a laugh. “There’s sort of always that kind of awkward state of, like, ‘Is this OK? Is that OK?’” While Kutcher’s co-star has been acting since childhood, No Strings Attached marked Portman’s first foray into romantic comedy territory, something Kutcher is much more familiar with. But that didn’t give him the upper hand. “I learned more from Natalie in one day of being on set together than I can never possibly teacher her in a billion years,” he says. “She may not have done a rom-

com before, but she’s done so much work on so many different levels. I don’t know that there’s anything I can really teach her.” So naturally, instead of trying to impart wisdom, Kutcher decided to make fun of Portman. “It was mostly height jokes and then she would get very much upset with me,” he says of his on-set teasing. “She looks like my child when we stand next to each other. I asked if she could reach the pedals in the car one day. That didn’t go over very well.”

Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman star in No Strings Attached.

top Ron Howard films

Ron Howard has carved out an eclectic career behind the camera over the past 30-plus years, from political dramas and historical thrillers to romances and fantasies and everything in between. Many of his films are good — and some of them are even great. This week, he returns to the genre he made his name in, comedy, with The Dilemma, starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. So here’s a look at the five best films Howard has directed. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Frost/Nixon (2008)

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

Apollo 13 (1995)

Night Shift (1982)

Splash (1984)

Howard’s finest film is one of his most recent. Michael Sheen and Frank Langella are excellent. In depicting the 1977 interview sessions between British TV personality David Frost and former President Richard Nixon, Howard has taken the original play script and opened it up organically. Frost/Nixon is talky and weighty as it digs into the details of Vietnam and Watergate, but it moves with a fluidity that keeps it constantly engaging. Nominated for five Academy Awards, including best picture.

A four-time Oscar winner, including best picture and best director. Here, Howard achieves the balance that had eluded him for years in directing sappy, feel-good movies such as Cocoon and Parenthood. He manages to evoke genuine emotion from the audience without schmaltz. It also features one of Russell Crowe’s strongest performances; it’s a great indicator of his versatility. As tortured math genius John Forbes Nash Jr., Crowe’s transformation is stunning — reminiscent of the one he pulled off two years earlier in The Insider.

An all-star cast led by Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and Ed Harris tells the gripping tale of the doomed 1970 Apollo moon mission, which nearly left three astronauts stranded in space when an oxygen tank exploded. Mission control must find a way to save them from thousands of miles away. There’s a sense of nostalgia for the long-ago idea of heroism that existed then, but beyond exploring grandiose ideas, Howard’s film offers a riveting attention to detail. Nominated for nine Oscars, it won two.

One of Howard’s earliest comedies still holds up beautifully today. Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton are an ideal odd couple as a neurotic morgue attendant and his new hotshot co-worker, respectively, who turn their place of business into a brothel. Hilarious and weird but ultimately sweet, this is a great showcase for Keaton’s myriad strengths as a comedian: his energy, unpredictability and his likability, especially when he’s doing something dangerous and slightly wrong. They’re not pimps — they’re love brokers.

It’s about as high-concept as you can get: A guy falls in love with a mermaid — and the script actually earned an Oscar nomination. Hanks’ first film with Howard was a real charmer, one of his earliest opportunities to establish the likable everyman persona he’s now cemented. Hanks and Daryl Hannah are lovely together in this light, warm romantic comedy, which also features plenty of salty supporting stars (Eugene Levy, John Candy) to keep the proceedings from turning too gooey.

Edinburgh inspires French animator

“An Amazing 3DExperience. Hilarious, action packed and outrageously entertaining.” Jeff Craig, SIXTY SECOND PREVIEW

NED EHRBAR

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA METRO WORLD NEWS IN LOS ANGELES

French animator Sylvain Chomet, the brain behind the quirky, nearly dialoguefree The Triplets of Belleville, is up to his old tricks with The Illusionist, which was just nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Animated Film. The film follows an aging music hall magician as he deals with the changing cultural scene of the late 1950s. Chomet sat down to talk with Metro about Tati, the problems with computer animation and falling in love with Edinburgh. You’re still committed to handdrawn animation rather than Pixar’s computer-generated style. Why is that?

It’s very simple. If you take any kind of very old thing — take The Jungle Book, for example. That still stands. You can show that to children and it’s very beautiful.

A scene from the movie The Illusionist.

But take the first Toy Story. It’s already very difficult to watch because the technology has changed so much. You look at that and it looks badly done. When you see the humans in the first Toy Story, it’s disastrous. Now you have children, 12 years old, you give them a computer and they do better things than that. Most of The Illusionist takes place in Edinburgh, which wasn’t in the original script. Why the change?

I first went to Edinburgh when there was a premiere

of my film at the festival there, and I took the train from Paris because I don’t fly. I thought it was the most beautiful city I’d ever seen. And I really liked the people as well. You also set up production for the ﬁlm in Edinburgh. How was that experience?

To be honest, we didn’t have any kind of help from Scotland. It was a real nightmare. … It’s nothing to do with the people of Scotland. I just think their civil servants are not effective at all.

2011 SHAPING UP WELL Sound Check

ALAN CROSS

The Decemberists/The King is Dead (Jan. 18)

Dirtbombs/Party Store (Feb. 1)

Erudite folk rock band from Portland could be due for some kind of breakthrough this year. Down by the Water is available for a free download.

Wait: a Detroit garage-rock band devotes an entire album to covering classic Detroit techno songs? Judging by Sharevari, an early leak from the sessions, this may not be as weird as it sounds on paper.

SCENE@METRONEWS.CA

Social Distortion/Hard Times and Nursery Crimes (Jan. 18)

In the punk world, this is an event. Mike Ness and crew have been around since 1978 and this is the band’s seventh proper album. Cold War Kids/Mine is Yours (Jan. 25)

Enough with the retrospectives and bestof lists. It’s time to look ahead to the music of 2011, starting with some impending releases for January and February.

Third album from literate Long Beach quartet. Their website (coldwarkids.com) offers a 15-second trailer of the record. Expectations are high. Young the Giant/Young the Giant (Jan. 25)

Multi-ethnic (one Brit, two Indians, one Persian and one French-Canadian) outfit from Orange County who are gifted writers of big songs.

Young Galaxy/Shapshifting (Feb. 8)

Their third album was a transatlantic affair: the band worked on the music in Montreal while the producer did his job in Sweden. Ain’t Skype cool? PJ Havery/Let England Shake (Feb. 15)

Polly Jean never likes to stick with one style for too long. Written on the Forehead, the dreamy first release from the record, is nothing short of a dreampop masterpiece. The Dears/Degeneration Street (Feb. 15)

If this Montreal band is not up for a Polaris Music Prize in 2011, then something’s is very wrong in the world.

Knightley going back on market

Over the holidays Keira decided to split from boyfriend of five years

Keira Knightley and boyfriend Rupert Friend have reportedly split after five years together, according to the Sun. The breakup happened over the Christmas holidays. “Yes, they have broken up. But that’s the way things go, unfortunately,” Knightley’s father tells the newspaper. “I’ve spoken to her recently. The only option is to get on with things. They were together for quite a long time and it is always hard breaking up. She’s focused on her work.” METRO

The blues, with African American roots, influenced jazz, rock and rockabilly. Local music also has French, Spanish, Creole and Jewish flavours.

The Smithsonian hears America singing, playing instruments and telling its history through music. The Washington cultural institution’s New Harmonies program will feature this musical history with a travelling exhibit in five states. Communities will host performances and other events in conjunction with the exhibit. The program, which is part of the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street project, showcases some of America’s “richest stories,” says Carol Harsh, director of Main Street. The core New Harmonies exhibit explores sacred music — Elvis Presley sang earliest in the church — as well as the secular: Cajun and Creole influ-

enced Zydeco; Mexican American Tejano; Jewish Klezmer; and folk music (Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez) that sustained civil rights movements. Try out instruments born from the innovations of poverty: a cigar box guitar or a Cajun rub board, strummed with a thimble or bottle opener. Here are some of the highlights.

Leafs land Brunnstrom from Stars The Maple Leafs picked up forward Fabian Brunnstrom from the Dallas Stars for prospect Mikhail Stefanovich. But Brunnstrom is headed to the Marlies. “We want to add some skill to Marlies, they are banged up badly right now,” said GM Brian Burke. “And we’ll see how he does.” Brunnstrom was a highly sought Swedish free agent in the summer of 2008. The Leafs pursued him, but he chose Dallas, where he made an immediate splash but fell out of favour recently. The 25-year-old was playing with the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League, where he had 11 goals and 10 assists in 37 games. He is on a one-year, oneway contract extension worth $675,000 US. The six-foot-two, 212-pound winger is scheduled to join the Marlies immediately. Stefanovich failed to make the Marlies two seasons in a row and had equally fallen out of favour in Toronto. The 21-year-old has played 15 games with Minsk Dynamo of the Kontinental Hockey League, recording one goal and two penalty minutes.

A bounty oﬀered by Ron Wilson led the NHL to ﬁne the Leafs.

Leaf bounty backfires Incentive offered by Ron Wilson for team to beat Sharks brings fine from the NHL Coach’s cash deemed a violation of salary cap rules The NHL has fined the Maple Leafs after team members disclosed Ron Wilson posted a bounty for them to beat his former team, the San Jose Sharks, on Tuesday. The money was supposed to go to a team dinner, but the league deemed it a violation of salary cap rules. “We have looked into this and we have determined that a violation of

league rules occurred,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email. “We have been assured that the conduct will not be repeated and the club will be fined in an appropriate amount. “That’s all we will have to say about the matter.” And what did Wilson have to say? “I have no comment, period.” But Wilson has a lot of support from people who thought the fine was foolish

Browns hand reins to fifth coach since ’99 JEFF ROBERSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

St. Louis offensive co-ordinator Pat Shurmur is Cleveland’s new coach. The Browns hired Shurmur Thursday, ending a search that began when Eric Mangini was fired Jan. 3. Mangini was fired after his second 5-11 season. Shurmur is the Browns’ fifth coach since their expansion return in 1999.

Defenceman Carl Gunnarsson, who scored the winning goal and, by tradition, would have received the money, was at a loss for words. “I don’t know what the rules are,” said Gunnarsson.

Luke Schenn said it was out of the players’ hands. “That’s a league matter and now we know better,” said Schenn. “I understand why the league frowns upon that, some teams might do it more than others, and it might effect decisions where they want to go,” said Leaf goalie J.S.

PRIDE IS MORE THAN A FOUR-YEAR THING

Opinion

SCOTT RUSSELL FIELD OF PLAY

sports

A recent meeting with the graduate sports history class at one of Canada’s largest community colleges revealed that much of our athletic folklore remains a mystery.

embers of the class are all bright and articulate. They aspire to be sports journalists in what has become a burgeoning field of work and play. They can readily identify the seminal moments of Canada’s national obsession. They know that Paul Henderson is the man who scored the goal to beat the Soviet Union in hockey’s 1972 Summit Series. None were alive in that era, but it matters little. They are also familiar with the legendary exploits of Gretzky, Howe, Richard and Orr. This group knows hockey.

But when it comes to recent iconic figures such as Beckie Scott, the pioneering cross-country skier, or double Olympic goldmedal speedskater Catriona Le May Doan, things get more than a little fuzzy. As far as alpine skiing star Nancy Greene goes, they haven’t a clue. “The Olympics are only every four years,” reasoned one member of the class. “Players like Sidney Crosby in hockey and Steve Nash in basketball compete every season.” It makes sense. Except in between the Olympic seasons those same high-performance athletes are toiling on ice and snow in the name of Canada. They compete at huge events like world cups and world championships every year. It’s not as if they suddenly appear to win or lose a gold medal once a quadrennial at the Olympic Games. And so it’s championship season around

the world in winter sport. At the snowboarding summit in Spain, Canadian gold medallist Maelle Ricker is featured. Soon speedskating phenomenon and Olympic gold medallist Christine Nesbitt, who personally swept the Canadian championships, will try to conquer the world in her sport. Figure skater Patrick Chan will attempt to win his fourth national title in Victoria next week on the way to a legitimate shot at the world championship crown in Tokyo. Nordic skiers led by Olympians Alex Harvey and Devon Kershaw will race before hundreds of thousands of spectators at the world’s in Oslo, Norway. The next legends are already on track and we’re almost a year removed from the Vancouver/Whistler Games. It’s time to end our Olympic hibernation and feast on the bevy of high-performance sport that’s out there.

Kenny Dalglish is facing up to the size of his task at Anfield as he prepares struggling Liverpool for its derby match against Everton in the Premier League Sunday. The Reds have lost both games since the club legend was installed as manager last weekend in place of the fired Roy Hodgson, with Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Blackpool keeping them four points off the relegation zone. Dalglish was brought in by owners to galvanize a team lacking in confidence and he said it won’t be easy after a week back in charge. “It’s obviously a big challenge — very seldom do you get a job where you walk in with no challenges,” Dalglish said, after seeing Liverpool lose an early lead given to it by striker Fernando Torres at Blackpool. He was in charge of the club, between 1985-91, winning three English league titles to add to the five he picked up as a player for Liverpool. This year, his main challenge could be stopping them slipping out of the top division. The former striker quit in 1991 for health reasons two days after Liverpool drew a dramatic FA Cup match against Everton 4-4. Title hopes are dashed for the 18-time champions — currently 19 points behind league leader Manchester United, which travels to fifth-place Tottenham Sunday. Spurs manager Harry

“The only reason we will have a problem is if they don’t show commitment to the club and I think they have shown that — we just need a result.” KENNY DALGLISH, LIVERPOOL MANAGER

Redknapp was hoping to have David Beckham available to play against his old team, but the Spurs were unable to secure a loan deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy for the ex-England captain. United manager Alex Ferguson hopes to recall striker Wayne Rooney, who missed last weekend’s victory over Liverpool because of an ankle injury. Second-place Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini, who are home against Wolverhampton Saturday, hopes Edin Dzeko, who joined last week for a reported fee of $42 million US, could link up with striker Carlos Tevez to lead the club to its first title since 1968. “He is another good player who, in big and difficult games, can be decisive for us,” Mancini said. Arsenal, which is two points behind in third, makes the trip to West Ham, looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to second-tier Ipswich in the first leg of the League Cup semifinal.

WEEKEND, JANUARY 14-16, 2011

TONY BOCK/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE FILE

TFC add style, speed ‘Toronto, man. That’s like a dream right here,’ draftee Omphroy says Toronto FC got quicker and a lot more colourful Thursday with the addition of University of California defender Demitrious Omphroy via the MLS SuperDraft. Toronto, which shipped its first-round pick to Vancouver for defender-midfielder Nathan Sturgis, took Omphroy 26th overall. The speedy, stylish tattooed 21-year-old is from

northern California. Toronto selected a forward turned fullback, who likes to maraud up the wing and have a go at goal. “I’ve always had that attacking mentality,” said Omphroy. One pick earlier, the New York Red Bulls took midfielder John Rooney, the younger brother of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.

In the second round, the rebuilding TFC may have unearthed a late-round diamond in diminutive Ecuadorian teen forward Joao Plata. Plata is just five-footthree but showed his scoring skills by leading the MLS combine with three goals. He played for Ecuadorian champion LDU and the national under-20 team. Earlier in the draft, com-

missioner Don Garber announced Toronto had traded forward Chad Barrett to the Los Angeles Galaxy for future considerations. The move opens up payroll space in that Barrett made $212,500 US last season. The 25-year-old had 16 goals in 65 appearances for Toronto, with seven goals goals and two assists last season.

Toronto FC traded forward Chad Barrett to the Los Angeles Galaxy Thursday.

sports EX-NFLER IN COURT

Taylor guilty of sex offence Former NFL star Lawrence Taylor pleaded guilty Thursday to sexual misconduct and patronizing a 16-year-old prostitute, misdemeanour charges that carry no jail time but require him to register as a sex offender. The 51-year-old ex-line-

backer, who led the New York Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991, will serve six years probation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She told me she was 19,â&#x20AC;? Taylor, standing with his hands clasped behind him, said in court as he admitted having intercourse with the prostitute, who turned out to be a Bronx runaway. Taylor said he now knows the girl was 16 and legally incapable of consent. He said he paid her $300 US.

Fox given keys to the Broncos John Fox turned around a bumbling team before. The Denver Broncos are counting on him to do it again. Fox was picked to replace Josh McDaniels, who was fired Dec. 6 amid the Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worst slide in four decades. The lost season led to a restructuring of the front office and the return of Hall of Famer John Elway as chief football executive. On Thursday, Elway hired Fox, the 55-year-old former Carolina Panthers coach. Elway wrote on Twitter

WEEKEND, JANUARY 14-16, 2011

The Broncos are coming oďŹ&#x20AC; a franchiseworst 4-12 season. of the hiring that Fox â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a dynamic and proven leader who will energize our entire organization.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very thankful to Pat Bowlen and John Elway for giving me the opportunity to coach a football team with such a proud tradition,â&#x20AC;? Fox said in a statement. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ravens (13-4) at Steelers (12-4)

Seahawks (8-9) at Bears (11-5) Packers (11-6) at Falcons (13-3)

Time: 4:30 p.m. Saturday

Lowdown: Each side won a superb defensive game on the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field, which should give Baltimore some confidence. But the Ravens have never won a playoff game in Pittsburgh. The gamebreakers in this one are guys like Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed and Ray Lewis for Baltimore, Troy Polamalu, James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley for Pittsburgh. Defenders all.

Time: 8 p.m. Saturday

Lowdown: The Falcons were 7-1 at home. They will face a Green Bay offence that suddenly became versatile when rookie James Starks rushed for 123 yards in the Packers 21-16 victory at Philadelphia last week. Atlanta already has that offensive variety with Matt Ryan throwing to Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez, and Michael Turner running the ball.

Jets (12-5) at Patriots (14-2)

Time: 1 p.m. Sunday

Lowdown: Seattle is brimming with confidence after beating the defending Super Bowl champion Saints. Chicago is healthier than New Orleans, has a much better defence, and has improved significantly since falling to the Seahawks 23-20 in October, particularly the running game with Matt Forte, who ran for 717 yards over the final nine games.

Time: 4:30 p.m. Sunday

Lowdown: The AFC foes split two games, with the Jets controlling the second half of a 28-14 home victory in Week 2, then the Patriots dominating from the outset of a 45-3 Monday night romp Dec. 6. New England won eight straight to close out the season, and QB Tom Brady has won an NFLrecord 28 consecutive home starts.

Taurus April 21-May 21 As the Sun moves closer to the midheaven angle of your chart, you will find yourself thinking about your long-term ambitions. If you must work harder, make sure it’s on something you love.

Gemini May 22-June 21 You seem to be in everyone’s good books but cannot work out why. Does there have to be a reason? Maybe people just like you for who you are.

Cancer June 22-July 22 If you tell a lie today it will get found out by the weekend, much to your embarrassment. Either tell the truth or say nothing at all. You can’t fool all people, all the time.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23 Something unexpected will happen today that you’ll have a hard time making sense of. Maybe it’s not supposed to make sense. Maybe it’s just “one of those things”. Don’t sweat it.

Leo July 23-Aug.23 You may not understand why so many people are singing your praises, but you are smart enough to make the most of it. Leo just loves being the centre of attention, so milk the applause while you can.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22 It might be wise to spend some time by yourself today, if only to recharge your batteries before the next big challenge comes your way. Don’t tell other people where you are going, just go.

Virgo Aug. 24- Sept. 22 Life may be a bed of roses but in just a few days time you will be faced by challenges that require you to make sacrifices above and beyond the call of duty, so don’t get too comfy!

Feel like everyone’s looking at you? They are. But don’t worry. It’s only because they want your Metro.
