New details that draw into question at least one courtroom verdict in a Calgary triple-murder are being met with concern by the mother of a victim. In her first interview since
son Aaron Bendle was gunned down at Bolsa Restaurant on New Year’s Day in 2009, Eroca Bendle said she has avoided details of courtroom proceedings against three convicted killers but worries what impact new evidence will have. “These individuals are capable of murder.... I would be absolutely horrified if any of these individuals had the opportunity to murder another family’s son,” she said. A witness who can be identified only as M.M. — who was key to the prosecution of Nathan Zuccherato, Michael Roberto and Real Honorio — told RCMP last year, “I was the one that committed it. I run into Bolsa with a f---in’ nine

M.M. had admitted to helping facilitate the hit on Mann, who was a member of a rival gang, but claimed he did not pull the trigger and was offered immunity in exchange for his testimony. In light of the newly revealed statement to RCMP, Honorio’s lawyer reportedly announced a mistrial application on Friday. The confession could also have an impact on appeals in motion for Zuccherato and Roberto.

Calgary police hunt for hit-andrun suspect Calgary police are still on the hunt for the person responsible for running over a male early Sunday morning. Duty Insp. Travis Ibach said a large altercation occurred outside of the Back Alley nightclub at 2:21 a.m. The altercation ended when a vehicle leaving the parking lot struck a male. The male was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police have obtained the vehicle that struck the male. “It’s concerning because (the driver) didn’t stay after he hit the male,” said Ibach. METRO

Downtown ripe for cyclist ‘explosion’ The City of Calgary’s new cycling co-ordinator, Tom Thivener, describes his experience cycling in Calgary thus far as “chaotic.” KATIE TURNER/METRO
Cycling co-ordinator. Tom Thivener started with the City of Calgary in early June KATIE TURNER
katie.turner@metronews.ca
Calgary’s downtown core could be on the cusp of a cyclist boom, but the infrastructure needs to come first, according to the city’s new cycling co-ordinator.
Tom Thivener is familiar with the challenges of building cycling ridership, having come from a role with the City of Tucson in Arizona, where the number of bike riders had flatlined. “Despite all the investments in bike lanes, the ridership really hadn’t changed,” said Thivener. “You can’t just build the facilities and pray that they become used.” Thivener said through education and promotion, in conjunction with the infrastructure, Tucson ridership doubled from 2008 to 2010 —
something he’s hoping will carry over to Calgary. Thivener said the coming months will involve work on a master plan that lays out all of Calgary’s current and future cycling networks, setting in place a guide for the next 10 to 15 years, but the biggest short-term challenge is the downtown. “Calgary has a really welldeveloped network of offstreet pathways,” he said. “When you get to downtown, there’s really nothing. It just drops off.” Thivener said the city’s
transportation department is working to determine what treatment the downtown roads will get to accommodate cyclists, adding, “there’s a bunch of tools in the toolbox to do that.” “The downtown is really ripe for an explosion; there’s a lot of people living here,” he said. “It’s a lot easier to bike one kilometre than it is to walk one kilometre or drive one kilometre, so that could explode if we can just get some facilities in place downtown.”

Achievement tests play smaller role in grading: Official More Calgary students than ever are writing provincial achievement tests, but they are playing a smaller role in final grades, according to an official. Data provided by the Calgary Board of Education indicates about 20,300 stu-
dents in Grades 3, 6 and 9 wrote the tests, intended to serve as a barometer for curriculum and learning strategies, in 2011. That number is expected to be surpassed when testing for 2012 wraps this week. But controversy over
the tests has been a common theme during the past school year — Alberta’s former education minister said in December the tests should have no bearing on student evaluation, but he was aware of instances where they had.
The Calgary Board of Education does not use the tests for grading elementary students, according to Cathy Faber, superintendent of learning innovation, but leaves it to the school’s discretion in Grade 9. “I think we have taken
the stigma away that this is the only indicator we use,” Faber said, adding anecdotally she has noticed fewer Grade 9 teachers are using the tests for their own grading. Still, a portion of Calgary’s parents do not agree
with conducting the tests at all. The CBE reports 4.2 per cent of children were excused from the tests by either their parents or teachers in 2011 — that number is slightly below the provincial average. jeremy nolais/metro
Officials ease fears of mass city flooding Gauging threat. Although water levels in city rivers are high, experts say we’re in the clear for major flooding alicia gerrior calgary@metronews.ca
Despite an emergency road closure due to flooding Sunday, fears of widespread water problems are subsiding, according to officials. Water poured from the Bow River around on Heritage Drive SE underneath Glenmore Trail around 6:30 p.m., prompting an emergency reroute of traffic in the area. As well, an advisory against boating and watercraft activities is expected to remain in place until at least Monday or Tuesday. “While there are advisories out there, we’re not looking at an event the size of 2005 or really anything quite close,” said Frank Frigo, senior planning engineer for the city’s water
department, referring to the year when high river water levels led to mass flooding in certain areas. Frigo said that the water levels are only one-half to one-third of what the city saw in 2005. The advisory didn’t stop Lucie Kaucky and Brad Kooy from enjoying an afternoon of kayaking on Harvie Passage. “We monitor the water levels on our own accord. We know what levels are safe for our abilities,” said Kooy. But it appears looming trouble still remains for residents in High River, as the town south of Calgary opened its emergency operation centre as the forecast projections called for water flows to reach 250 to 300 cubic metres per second by the end of Sunday. Officials in High River said Sunday the move was simply a precaution. Water power

Oil. Province working to create urban drilling policy In the midst of cries from two northwest Calgary communities over proximity to a planned oil-drilling project, an MLA announced Sunday the province is working to establish a blanket policy for such endeavours. The Rocky Ridge Royal
Community Association hosted a rally Sunday protesting Kaiser Exploration’s approved exploratory well just hundreds of metres from a shopping centre and numerous homes. But on Sunday, area MLA Sandra Jansen expressed
hope the matter could be resolved fairly with the development of an urban drilling policy that she says is being undertaken by provincial energy ministry. “I don’t think any drilling policy we have now takes into account high-density
areas,” Jansen said. “I believe this is precedent-setting.” Top of mind will be proper safety procedures and evacuation plans in the event of a problem, Jansen said. No timeline for a completed policy has been established. jeremy nolais/metro

Cancer ride raises funds, helps empower survivors Spirit. Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer participants wanted to give back Tessa Clayton
calgary@metronews.ca
It wasn’t the greatest weekend to bike more than 200 kilometres, but it was nowhere near the worst thing they’ve been through. “Being a cancer patient and going through chemotherapy and the surgeries was very hard,” said survivor Tobi McIvor, 39, who was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a rare kidney cancer, at age 11. “But even when I’m having a hard time riding, it’s cold and wet, my legs hurt, I just keep telling myself I’ve been through worse.”
The mother of three was told she would never be able to have children after radiation. McIvor and Jarrid Rich, 28, were two participants in the annual Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer this past weekend, both having taken part previously. Rich, a single father of two, was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma cancer in his lungs in 2010 and had surgery to remove several tumors. The cancer quickly returned but after participating in a clinical trial last December, his cancer has stopped progressing. Besides participating for personal reasons, McIvor and Rich wanted to give back and help those going through what they’ve already experienced. The show of support through the ride is not lost on them either. “I think it’s amazing that people from all different walks

Calgary police have partnered with Odyssey for Opportunity with the aim of helping kids participate in organized sports. What started out as an adventure to bike from coast-tocoast quickly grew into something bigger, said rider Jenny MacLean. “We grew up together and thought, ‘Why not take the summer and bike across the country and why not do it for
something that’s very close to us?’” she explained, adding all the participants grew up playing sports. The girls partnered with Their Opportunity, an organization that helps families enrol their kids in sports. And two weeks in, despite being drenched in rain, the girls can’t believe how big their idea has become. The Calgary Police Service (CPS) supports many initiatives
that make extra-curricular activities accessible to youth and according to Rob Gill, western director for Their Opportunity, the CPS contacted them after hearing about the Odyssey. “They have a passion and a heartbeat for the city and they want to see positive change in the city more than anybody,” Gill said. “We’re both on the same page — there’s a lot of synergies there.” Tessa Clayton/for Metro

Israeli activists arrested after alleged clashes with police Israeli police say 85 protesters were arrested after clashing with officers and vandalizing banks in Tel Aviv. The demonstrators
had gathered Saturday night to protest the arrest of 12 social activists a day earlier. Some blocked main roads and scuffled with police. Police say others shattered windows on five banks. Media reported that in one case, protesters charged inside a bank and planted a tent, the symbol of social protests that swept the country last summer. Police spokesman Micky
Rosenfeld says police made the arrests to prevent looting. He estimated there were 1,500 demonstrators in the protests, though media reports gave a number four times higher. Activist leader Daphni Leef accused police of brutality, saying officers bruised and humiliated her when they detained her Friday. She was released on bail. the associated press
Wildfires moved in on some of Colorado’s most popular summer tourist destinations over the weekend, demolishing nearly two dozen homes near Rocky Mountain National Park and emptying hotels and campgrounds.

With eight wildfires burning, including a fire that has scorched more than 305 square kilometres and destroyed at least 191 homes near Fort Collins, Colorado is having its worst wildfire season in a decade. “People recognize this is going to take a big push” to extinguish, Hickenlooper said Sunday from a Colorado Springs grocery store, where volunteers were passing out burritos, sandwiches and drinks to 350 firefightThe government had pledged to evict the two dozen families living in the Givat Assaf settlement outpost by July 1.

Islamist Morsi wins Egypt’s first free election Tahrir Square. Road to recovery Selection of Muslim Brotherhood candidate “The revolution passed important test. But met with joy, skepticism an the road is still long.”
Egyptian protesters celebrate the victory of Mohammed Morsi in Tahrir Square, Sunday. Khalil Hamra/the associated press
Islamist Mohammed Morsi was declared the winner Sunday in Egypt’s first free presidential election in history, closing the tumultuous first phase of a democratic transition, and opening a new struggle with the still-dominant military rulers who recently stripped the presidency of most of its powers. In Tahrir Square, the birthplace of the uprising that ousted autocratic president Hosni Mubarak, joyous Morsi supporters wept and kneeled on the ground in prayer as soon as they heard the outcome announced on live television. They danced, set off fireworks and released doves in the air in celebrations not

seen in the square since Mubarak was forced out on Feb. 11, 2011. Many are looking now to see whether Morsi will try to take on the military and wrestle back the powers they took from his office just one week ago. “I pledge to be a president who serves his people and works for them,” Morsi said on his web page. “I will not betray God in defending your rights and the rights of this nation.” The White House congratulated Morsi and urged him to advance national unity as he forms a new government.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Morsi’s victory is a milestone in Egypt’s transition to democracy after decades of authoritarian rule under Mubarak. The Obama administration had expressed no public preference in the presidential race. Left on the sidelines of the political drama are the liberal and secular youth groups that drove the uprising against Mubarak, left to wonder whether Egypt has taken a step towards becoming an Islamist state. Some grudgingly supported Morsi in the face of Ahmed Shafiq, who was Mubarak’s last prime minister, while others boycotted the vote. Morsi will now have to reassure them that he represents the whole country, not just Islamists, and will face enormous challenges after security and the economy have deteriorated in the transition period. the associated press
NATO to mull response after Turkish jet shot down NATO ambassadors will discuss this week whether to respond to Syria’s downing of a Turkish jet in what Turkey insists was international airspace, although the likelihood of any military action by the alliance is low. The plane’s downing has further hiked regional tensions over the conflict in Syria, where some 40 people
were said to have died Sunday in new clashes between rebels and regime forces. The jet’s wreckage was found in the Mediterranean at a depth of 1,300 metres, Turkish state media reported Sunday. The two pilots remain unaccounted for. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the jet
was on a training flight to test Turkey’s radar capabilities, not spying on Syria. He said the plane mistakenly strayed into Syrian airspace Friday, but was quickly warned to leave by Turkish authorities and was a mile inside international airspace when it was shot down off the coast of Latakia. Syria insisted Saturday that
the shooting was “not an attack” and that the aircraft had violated its airspace. But Turkish authorities say Syria didn’t warn the Turkish plane nor send its own jets to confront it. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was expected to make a statement Tuesday and might announce some retaliatory steps.
“No one should dare to test Turkey’s capabilities,” Davutoglu said Sunday. Despite some opposition leaders’ calls for Western military intervention in Syria, the United States and allies have been hesitant to get involved in what could prove a protracted conflict, preferring the diplomatic route. the associated press

Fernando Lugo emerged early Sunday to denounce his ouster as Paraguay’s president as a “parliamentary coup” and a “foreordained sentence” that was not based on proper evidence. Lugo said his truncated presidency was targeted because he tried to help the South American nation’s poor majority. Asked whether he had any hope of retaking office, Lugo exhorted his followers to remain peaceful but suggested that national and international clamour could lead Paraguayan lawmakers to reverse his impeachment. “In politics, anything is possible,” said Lugo, who termed the Senate’s sudden vote to remove him a coup by political trial. He also said that Roman Catholic bishops visited him before Friday’s Senate trial for alleged poor performance of duties, and he agreed to accept the outcome of a process he considered illegitimate only to avoid bloodshed. Lugo spoke in a pre-dawn televised “open microphone” program hosted by a statefunded public television channel that was created by his government. As Saturday turned into Sunday, a long line of speakers queued up in front of the station’s head-

Nigeria
Alleged church bomber dies, now hailed as a martyr A top radical Islamist sect member blamed for a deadly Christmas Day church bombing in Nigeria has been killed by security forces, says the sect, which demonstrated in a prison break Sunday that his death has not affected its ability to keep fighting. A statement attributed to the Boko Haram sect and obtained Sunday by The Associated Press said the group is happy about Habibu Bama’s “martyrdom.” Bama, a former soldier, died after sustaining injuries from a gun battle between security forces and the sect in the northeastern city of Damaturu earlier this week, Nigeria’s State Security Service said. The battle occurred from Monday to Tuesday as authorities fought back against the sect that struck six churches, five primary schools, a police station and a police outpost, authorities said. Bama had been declared wanted in connection with the Dec. 25 bombing of St. Theresa Catholic Church in the town of Madalla, just outside of the capital, Abuja, killing at least 44 people.

Minorities shut out of power in Iraq: Cleric Firebrand. Will direct his lawmakers to support a noconfidence vote, a blow for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki The Iraqi cleric whose followers are a swing vote in the nation’s ongoing government crisis said Sunday that the prime minister should resign if he cannot produce reforms. In a rare and wide-ranging press conference, hardline Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr admonished the Shiite-led government, saying it has shut Iraq’s minorities out of power and failed to fix legal systems and other public services. As a result, and to jumpstart the nation’s all but paralyzed government, al-Sadr said he is prepared to direct his party’s 40 lawmakers to support a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki — so long as he is assured other political blocs in parliament provide the rest of
Backstory
Al-Sadr has flirted with the prospect of abandoning Maliki for months. The two men have a bitter personal history, going back to when government forces targeted al-Sadr’s militia at the peak of the 2006-08 sectarian fighting that almost pushed the country into civil war. • Also Sunday, an Iraqi press freedom group condemned authorities for ordering the closure of 44 news organizations, including a U.S.funded radio station.

During this One dollar sale every used car and truck will be sold for hundreds or thousands below its original price.” Mr. Holst said. “In fact, cars that normally sell for five to eight thousand dollars will be sold for three to five thousand,” Mr. Holst said. “Our customers will find these prices even lower than at wholesale auctions.” Auction bidding often inflates the true value of a car so you pay more.

Since we are a local business we would like to give back to the community,” Mr. Holst said. “We would rather allow local people to buy these overstocked vehicles than wholesale them at an auction.” All cars will be reduced every hour and then there will be 6 cars that will be reduced every hour until they get to $1.

Tories ready to work with Parti Québécois Reaching out to Quebecers. Harper is polling at around 15 per cent approval in La Belle Province Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Quebec lieutenant says the Conservatives are prepared to work with whoever is in power in the province — including the sovereigntist Parti Québécois.

U.S. East Coast. Sea levels rising rapidly: Researchers Sea levels are rising much faster along the U.S. East Coast than they are around the globe, putting one of the world’s most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report. U.S. Geological Survey scientists call the 965-kilometre swath a “hot spot” for climbing sea levels caused by global warming. Along the region, the Atlantic Ocean has been rising at an annual rate three to four times faster than the global average since 1990, according to the study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. It’s not just a faster rate, but at a faster pace, like a car on a highway “jamming on the accelerator,” said the study’s lead author, Asbury Sallenger Jr., an oceanographer at the agency. He looked at sea levels starting in 1950, and noticed a change beginning in 1990. Since then, sea levels have gone up globally about five centimetres. But in Norfolk, Va., where officials are scrambling to fight more frequent flooding, sea level has jumped a total of 12.19 centimetres, the research showed. For Philadelphia, levels went up 9.4 centimetres, and in New York City, it was 7.11 centimetres. Climate change pushes up sea levels by melting ice sheets in Greenland and west Antarctica, and because warmer water expands. Computer models long have projected higher levels along parts of the East Coast because of changes in ocean currents from global warming, but this is the first study to show that’s already happened. By 2100, scientists and computer models estimate that sea levels globally could rise as
By the numbers

Scientists estimate that sea levels could rise as much as 1.01 metres by 2100.
much as 1.01 metres. The accelerated rate along the East Coast could add about 20 centimetres to 28 centimetres more, Sallenger said. “Where that kind of thing becomes important is during a storm,” Sallenger said. That’s when it can damage buildings and erode coastlines. On the West Coast, a National Research Council report released Friday projects an average nearly one-metre rise in sea level in California by the year 2100, and 0.61 metres in Oregon and Washington. The land mass north of the San Andreas Fault is expected to rise, offsetting the rising sea level in those two states. The USGS study suggests the Northeast would get hit harder because of ocean currents. When the Gulf Stream and its northern extension slow down, the slope of the seas changes to balance against the slowing current. That slope then pushes up sea levels in the Northeast. It is like a see-saw effect, Sallenger theorizes. Margaret Davidson, director of the Coastal Services Center for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Charleston, S.C., said the implications of the new research are “huge when you think about it. Somewhere between Maryland and Massachusetts, you’ve got some bodaciously expensive property at risk.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Industry Minister Christian Paradis says the Harper government and Quebec have common interests and would find common ground if the PQ won the next provincial election. The PM’s chilled relationship with Quebec has been under increased scrutiny since The Canadian Press revealed his recent secret meetings in Montreal with former prime minister Brian Mulroney and Liberal Premier Jean Charest. Harper went to them for
advice on the national unity issue, which some fear could rise again if the Parti Québécois unseat Charest’s unpopular Liberals. Harper and Paradis were at a celebration near Quebec City Sunday for the province’s annual Fête nationale. The Conservatives are trying to revive flagging Tory fortunes in Quebec, where the party won just five of 75 federal seats in the last election. Charest confirmed to repor-
ters Sunday that he had met Harper recently, but wouldn’t say what about. He said Quebecers would have a chance to give feedback on the Conservative government’s performance when they vote in the next federal election. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair called the meeting with Mulroney another sign that Harper is out of touch with Quebecers — and hasn’t made efforts to reach out like his party has. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Crews seek victims in mall roof collapse Ontario. Police hindered in search by unsafe conditions At least two people were trapped in a labyrinth of twisted metal and heavy concrete slabs as crews worked around the clock to stabilize the scene of a roof collapse at a mall in the northern Ontario city of Elliot Lake on Sunday.
Officials suspect one of those imprisoned “could be a casualty,” but they said it would take until early Monday morning before the structure was deemed safe enough for search and rescue teams to go in. Ontario Provincial Police said images of the Algo Centre Mall’s partially collapsed roof, which also served as a parking lot, showed a hand and a foot in the dusty debris. “We have obtained some visual information relating to
That was an indication to us that we were dealing with a rescue,” said Bill Needles, a spokesman from the Toronto Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team. “We then turned our whole efforts towards trying to locate this individual.

Settlement. Madoff victims awarded $405M A settlement announced Sunday will bring $405 million US to victims of Bernard Madoff’s historic investment scam, the New York state attorney general said. The clients of hedge fund manager J. Ezra Merkin will receive $405 million, and New York state will get $5 million to cover the cost of the settlement worked out by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The victims include New York Law School, Bard College, Harlem Children’s Zone, Homes for the Homeless and the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty. Schneiderman called the agreement “a victory for justice and accountability.” “Many New Yorkers entrusted their investments to Mr. Merkin, who then steered the money to Madoff while

receiving millions of dollars in management and incentive fees,” Schneiderman said. “By holding Mr. Merkin accountable, this settlement will help bring justice for the people and institutions that lost millions of dollars.” Merkin’s attorney, Andrew J. Levander, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday. Merkin had managed investments for hundreds of investors in four funds: Ariel Fund Ltd., Gabriel Capital L.P., Ascot Fund Ltd. and Ascot Partners L.P. Schneiderman said many of the investors are New York residents and charitable organizations. Many of them requested not to be identified. Most investors will get more than 40 per cent of their losses, but only up to $5 million. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Battle breaks out between soldiers and saboteurs
Cambodian People’s Party re-elected
Yemeni military officials say a gun battle between troops and a group of men trying to sabotage a power line in the south left two soldiers and three saboteurs dead. The officials say the gun battle started overnight in Marib province when soldiers tried to prevent an attack on the power line, but the saboteurs opened fire on them. The officials say the army is sending in reinforcements to the area. They spoke on condition of anonymity according to regulations.
Cambodian election officials say Prime Minister Hun Sen’s ruling party has won an overwhelming victory in local elections.

fourth operation in two months in an improved U.S.Honduran effort to fight drug trafficking in the sparsely populated Mosquitia region, where flights from Venezuela land on dirt airstrips and locals are paid to transport the illegal cargo to boats headed to the Caribbean. A similar raid on May 11 killed four people, whom locals claimed were innocent civilians travelling the river at night. Honduran police said the victims were in a boat that fired
on authorities. The DEA said none of its agents fired their guns in that incident. This weekend’s operation occurred around 12:30 a.m., when a U.S. agent and Honduran National Police arrested four suspects and seized 360 kilograms of cocaine, said U.S. Embassy spokesman Stephen Posivak. He said six other people were arrested later on suspicion of aiding the smuggling operation. the associated press
Criticism
The stepped-up operations have been criticized by human rights groups, U.S. activists and some on Capitol Hill. • American University anthropology Prof. Adrienne Pine sent a letter signed by 40 Honduran scholars and former government officials to President Barack Obama
and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier this month, demanding the U.S. cease support for the Honduran military and police. • “It’s really troubling,” Pine said. “It’s absolutely not appropriate for U.S. law enforcement to be killing other people in other countries.”

Majority polled said they planned to spend more while stateside, but the changes have been criticized by Canadian shop owners Canadians are in a U.S. shopping state of mind this summer thanks to changes in regulations that allow them to buy more without paying duty, a new survey suggests.

As outlined in the March budget, the duty-free threshold on stays longer than 24 hours rose to $200 from $50 beginning this month. The limit on stays longer than 48 hours increased to $800 from the current twotiered levels of $400 and $750, depending on the length of stay. In the poll, seven in 10 Canadians said they supported the higher duty-free limits, and eight of 10 of vacationers to the U.S. backed the changes. The changes have been criticized by the Retail Council of Canada as just one more blow to merchants who cope with higher costs and must compete with U.S. competitors that often get a better deal from suppliers. With the new rules in place for a little more than three weeks, it is still too earinformation from mobile phones and tablet computers. California Attorney General Kamala D.

Breastaurants becoming a booming niche Valerie Chaira carries lunch from the kitchen at the Tilted Kilt, in Tempe, Ariz., in this May 16 file photo. The Tilted Kilt is part of a booming niche in the beleaguered restaurant industry known as breastaurants, or sports bars that feature scantily-clad waitresses. These small chains operate in the tradition of Hooters, which pioneered the concept in the 1980s but has struggled in recent years to stay fresh. The United States’ top three “breastaurant” chains behind Hooters each had sales growth of 30 per cent or more last year, according to Technomic, a food-industry research firm. They still represent less than one per cent of the nation’s top restaurants, but the upstart chains are benefiting as other mid-priced options like Applebee’s and Bennigan’s have experienced declines during the economic downturn. Instead of relying on lust alone, the new crop of restaurants is growing by offering new themes (think: rustic lodges and Celtic pubs) and varied menus (think: pot roast and shepherd’s pie instead of just burgers and wings). In other words, they’re hoping maybe people really are coming in for the food. Matt York/the associated press
Oversight. Feds reject economist’s prescription The Harper government has firmly rejected a McGill University economist’s prescription for surviving the next financial meltdown. A newly released briefing note shows Christopher Ragan’s proposal to strengthen oversight of the Canadian economy went all the way to Stephen Harper, himself a former economist. The distinguished economist said a high-level Finance Department group, known as the senior advisory committee, needs to be restructured to give the governor of the Bank of Canada more input and to ensure the Canada
Prime Minister Stephen Harper the canadian press
Mortgage and Housing Corp. is a permanent member. Ragan says the non-legislated body served Canada well
during the 2008-09 global meltdown, but may be blind to the next financial disaster — and the country should not become complacent because of past success. A Feb. 22 memo to Harper shows the suggestion was given serious consideration — but ultimately rejected in favour of the status quo.

U.S. vows to block changes affecting online censorship Cyberspace. United Nations telecommunications treaty could allow countries to censor the flow of information A year after the Internet helped fuel the Arab Spring uprisings, the role cyberspace plays in launching revolutions is being threatened by proposed changes to a United Nations telecommunications treaty that could allow countries to clamp down on the free flow of information. For months, dozens of countries have been meeting behind closed doors to debate changes to the 24-year-old treaty. The U.S. delegation to the World Conference on International Telecommunications to be held in Dubai this December has vowed to block
WCITLeaks.org
The drafting and debating of proposals in preparation for the Dubai conference have taken place largely in secret. • Public interest groups
have criticized the process and said it runs counter to development of sound public policy.
• In response to calls for
transparency, two research fellows at George Mason University’s Mercatus Center launched the website WCITLeaks.org earlier this month as a way to make leaked documents available publicly.
any proposals that could permit online censorship or undercut the Internet’s current governing structure. Yet those assurances
have failed to ease fears that bureaucratic tinkering with the treaty could imperil Internet freedom and diminish its role in economic growth, according to legal experts and civil liberties advocates who have been tracking the discussions. Russia, for example, has proposed language that requires member states to ensure the public has unrestricted access and use of international telecommunication services, “except in cases where international telecommunication services are used for the purpose of interfering in the internal affairs or undermining the sovereignty, national security, territorial integrity and public safety of other states, or to divulge information of a sensitive nature,” according to a May 3 UN document that details the various proposals for amending the treaty. the associated press

What happened to no smoking near hospitals? Six or seven years ago the Calgary Health Region came out with a pretty strong policy on James Callsen smoking. They decreed that in calgary@metronews.ca no way could anyone smoke on CHR property. It didn’t matter what facility or where on the grounds; you couldn’t light up. At the time it seemed extreme and heavy-handed. Health advocates applauded while smokers skulked. It was a grand idea. The providers of care and the beacons of health for all of us were taking a firm stand against smoking, second-hand smoke and the cancerous lifestyle that lies within. However, take a visit to any of the hospitals in the Calgary Health Region and you will see that not only is the anti-smoking policy not being enforced, it appears that no one is even close to caring anymore. As a person who is the goto driver to the hospital for Up in smoke a variety of family members (both as visitors and patients), As an ex-smoker who I’m pretty well acquainted with the Foothills Medical was 17 years strong in I’m friendly with the habit before I kicked Centre. the Rockyview and I’m acit, I know what a relief a quainted with the Lougheed. smoke can be in stress- Every time I pull onto hospital property I see smokful situations.

Walking from the main lot of the Foothills into the front doors one braves a veritable gauntlet of IV poles, wheelchairs, crutches and hospital gowns under a nicotine haze. It’s a weird paradox. As an ex-smoker who was 17 years strong in the habit before I kicked it, I know what a relief a smoke can be in stressful situations. I fully understand the need to smoke for anyone undergoing treatment or visiting a loved one. However, after such a heavy-handed policy by the CHR, it seems ridiculous that no one is even attempting to enforce the policy. At the end of the day, it leaves the CHR looking silly and the various hospital grounds looking like ashtrays. The dozens of no smoking signs all over CHR properties obviously don’t mean anything and it’s painfully clear that the health region has no intention of enforcing the policy. Why not at least reconsider and make some attempt to accommodate the smoking patients and visitors, as opposed to the all-out nicotine anarchy that appears to exist today?

Worth mentioning
‘It’s not about quality anymore,’ former ecstasy dealer says More than a decade after closing his do-it-yourself ecstasy shop, Kevin, whose name has been changed as a result of his request not to be identified, was among the first to introduce the popular rave drug to Calgary. After one incident where some of his customers got sick, he pledged to always try the product first. Now, he turns up his nose at today’s black-market
ecstasy. Police say the colourful array of candy-like pills sell for as low as a few bucks, and are pumped out by gangs often thousands at a time. “Everyone and their dog can buy (the pressed pills). You can buy a press online. Anybody can do it. It’s not about a designer drug anymore, it’s not about the quality anymore,” Kevin said. “They’re pink and they’re purple and they’re green and it’s like, what the hell are you hiding?” He said today’s drug pushers don’t care what they’re selling or who they’re selling it to — all that matters is the money.

Photography awards
Image of living brain wins contest A close-up shot of a living human brain has been announced as the overall winner in this year’s Wellcome Image Awards, a prestigious competition that celebrates medical photography. Taken during a surgical procedure to treat a patient with epilepsy, the image shows “the beauty and fragility of this enigmatic organ,” a Wellcome spokesperson says.
Official’s viewpoint
“Here you can see the vibrant richness of colour you’d never see when the brain is hidden inside our skulls or when it’s dead in a jar.” Catherine Draycott, head of Wellcome Images and a member of the judging panel.

Cerebral photography
• Judge’s description. “The arteries are bright scarlet with oxygenated blood, the veins deep purple and the ‘grey matter’ of the brain a flushed, delicate pink,” judge Prof. Alice Roberts said. • How the photo was shot. Taken before an “intracranial electrode recording procedure,” in which a flexible electrode grid was placed on the brain’s surface for two weeks to monitor its activity. The surgeon then used the recordings to find problem areas of the brain to be removed.
• Medical photography. Photographers have to work around medics with no control over lighting, etc. “The conditions are controlled for the surgeon, not the photographer,” Draycott notes. • Secret to success. Draycott points to the “easily identifiable human factor” as key to the winning image. Other images included close-ups of a moth fly and a lavender leaf (pictured).

R&B singer Maxwell cancels short summer tour due to vocal cord edema and hemorrhage
There is some tension this particular Thursday afternoon in May on the Toronto set of Lost Girl, but happily it is all of a fictional nature. Our heroine, Bo, who has been injured and looking none-too-well, is having a difficult time trying to convince her crime-fighting allies that they need to change strategy when it comes to catching the baddie of the week.
She finally succeeds in persuading her ex-lover and police detective Dyson to go along with her plan, much to the chagrin of his colleague. “Cut! That was great,” says director Ron Murphy. This above scene is from one of the hit supernatural show’s third season episodes. For those unfamiliar with Lost Girl, the series follows the adventures of Bo, a Succubus (a supernatural being who feeds off the sexual energy of others) and member of a race of uber-humans known as Fae. Having walked in Bo’s leather boots for two seasons and now a third, actress Anna Silk is a perfect fit for the role, even though she initially had some doubts about the project. “When I originally received the (pilot) script, I read the tagline for it, which was
something like, ‘Supernatural sex creature who needs sex to survive,’ and I thought, ‘Yeah, right. What the heck is this?’ recalls Silk. “Then, however, I read the script, which was written by (series creator/executive producer) Michelle Lovretta, and discovered that she wrote this really complex, cool, female lead character who is a sexual creature but in the most vulnerable sort of way.” Although it aired halfway through the show’s first season, episode eight was, in fact, Lost Girl’s pilot episode and the first thing ever filmed for the series. Silk still remembers working on it as if it were yesterday. “We had 10 days to film the pilot, which was a luxury because we don’t have that many days now to shoot an episode,” jokes the actress. “The pilot is quite special to me. We filmed it about

a year before we went to series, so if you watch it, we all look a little different. We’re wearing less make-up and the tone of the show is somewhat darker. I still think it’s one of our greatest episodes and I love the grittiness of it.” Prior to Lost Girl, Silk appeared in a number of madefor-TV movies as well as gueststarred on such series Mutant X, Missing, Angela’s Eyes, ‘Til Death Do Us Part and Ghost Whisperer. Of all her small screen roles, two remain especially memorable to the actress. “I really loved the way that they wrote my character of Cassidy on (the TV show) Being Erica,” she says. “She turned out to be a very popular character and I enjoyed the real relationship that they created between Erica (Erin Karpluk) and Cassidy.
“Honestly, I’ve been fortunate enough so far to do a number of really cool things as an actress, including Bo ... I love the fact that she resonates with so many people. Also, the Fae world is so vast. We have so much still to explore about it,” enthuses Silk. Being Bo
Anna Silk interprets her character in Bo as both sensitive and vulnerable. • “Because I really made Bo my own in the audition process, the show’s writers and producers responded to that and very much tailored the character to me, which is a total gift,” she says.

After sending his love to Rome, Woody Allen is on to his next project Self-imposed exile. Filmmaker plans to return to the U.S. for his next movie, after making eight while traipsing Europe
Friday in New York and Los Angeles, hasn’t received very good reviews, but Allen is already onto his next film, with plans to begin shooting a movie in August — again starring Baldwin — that will take him back to New York. Allen chatted with The Associated Press about filmmaking Woody’s way:
On a sweltering Manhattan day, it’s hard not to think of Woody Allen’s old line about preferring air conditioning to the Pope. Allen’s Park Avenue office and screening room are a cool sanctuary, far off the Manhattan street and away from the heat. Asked if he was looking forward to the New York premiere that evening of his latest film, To Rome With Love, he answers “no” with comical quickness. Depending on how you count, To Rome With Love is the 76-year-old filmmaker’s 45th film, a total he’s amassed by making, with remarkable consistency, a film a year. It’s also his eighth film made in self-imposed exile, traversing
To Rome with Love opens on July 6. handout
European capitals. His last movie, the Oscarnominated Midnight in Paris, was his biggest box-office hit ever, a success Allen greets only with a shrug. To Rome With Love — as much of a European postcard
as Allen has made — is an ensemble farce about numerous characters (Alec Baldwin, Jesse Eisenberg, Penelope Cruz, Roberto Benigni, Ellen Page) chasing conflicting desires in the Eternal City. The film, which opened
You’ve often described filmmaking as a constant process of disappointment in not realizing your initial idea. So what keeps you trying? You always think that you’re going to do better the next time. It’s deceptive. Sometimes you do better than the last time, sometimes you don’t. It’s like a gambler. You’re constantly thinking, ‘This next one, I’m going to really nail it. Everything’s going to be perfect.’ And you do it, and of course it’s far from perfect. What was your initial concept for To Rome With Love? The people in Rome who distribute my films (Medusa Film)
always kept saying, “Come to Rome and make a film.” Finally, they really got serious. Then I was faced with having to write something for Rome. Did you ever think that you’d be part filmmaker and part travel guide? No, I never wanted to or expected to make a film outside of New York. New York became very, very expensive. The same $18 million spent in Barcelona or Rome goes much further there. I’ve had six other offers since then... I don’t know if I could do that indefinitely. Your earlier films seemed to be more searching and questioning. You can see them as searching, but you would find that after time, the conclusions are grim. No matter what kind of sugarcoating people put on it — whether it’s a religious sugarcoating or a philosophical sugarcoating — no matter what they tell you, the facts are grisly.
Making dreams a reality
Allen is in his own world When Woody Allen was asked if he ever felt he had accomplished the film he set out to make at the start, he had this to say: “A couple of times I’ve felt, ‘Gee, I’ve come very close to my original concept here and this is nothing to be ashamed of.’... For me, the trick is to execute my original intention. The audience may wind up hating my original intention. And it may be that when I prostitute the film and don’t live up to the original intention — let’s say like Hannah and Her Sisters — it’s a big success, and a bigger success than if I had achieved my original idea. There’s no correlation between what the public likes and what I’m after. I’m in a different world.”

Last season on The Voice, Cee Lo’s sidekick, Purrfect the evil-faced cat, was quite the hit, lending the judge a funky Dr. Evil-meets-Lewis Carroll swagger. But animal rights activists aren’t so psyched for his new on-air companion, a Moluccan cockatoo named Lady. “Moluccan cockatoos are beautiful, intelligent animals but they are very challenging to care for especially in
the long term, and are prone to considerable welfare problems,” Monica Engrebretson of advocacy organization Born Free tells TMZ, citing concerns that ill-prepared fans will buy the notoriously difficult pets. “Many Moluccan cockatoos develop self-destructive behaviour including feather plucking and self mutilation not known to occur in the wild.” Poor Lady! Reality TV is the most oppressive captivity known to man, and can cause feather-plucking among even marginally intelligent newspaper editors. Cee Lo, if you want a colourful companion that speaks in near gibberish, we suggest an intern.
Hot on the heels of news of his split from Vanessa Paradis comes word that Johnny Depp is reportedly getting close to Rum Diary co-star Amber Heard, according to the Daily Mail. Heard was reportedly spotted hopping on and off his private plane in

Travolta faces new lawsuit Author Robert Randolph — whose book You’ll Never Spa in This Town Again recounts alleged incidents of John Travolta engaging in sexual acts with men at bathhouses — is now suing the actor and his legal team for spreading false claims about Randolph’s mental health in order to diminish his credibility, according to TMZ. But Travolta’s camp thinks that’s crazy as well. “The lawsuit filed by
Robert Randolph is absurd. The suit is based on a privileged communication and it will promptly be thrown out by the court,” Travolta’s rep says in a statement. “To evaluate the credibility of Robert Randolph and his ridiculous lawsuit, one need look no further than his own statements published on his website stating that he sustained ‘permanent brain damage’ and had to ‘retrain’ his brain.”

Kristen Stewart plays an independent princess in Snow White and the Huntsman, a modern take on the famous tale. HANDOUT
Cinderella syndrome gets turned on its head Modern makeover. New movie princesses want more than a prince; they want independence For modern movie princesses, looking pretty and marrying a prince aren’t enough. Take Mirror Mirror, where Snow White rescues her prince from an evil spell, or Snow White and the Huntsman, where she becomes the hunter who avenges her father, marries none of her suitors and confidently runs her kingdom alone. Further upending the Cinderella syndrome at a theatre near you this weekend is Pixar’s first-ever female protagonist, the feisty Scottish Princess Merida of Brave, who demands to forge her own independent future. She’s also a far better shot than any of her would-be princes. This new breed of bigscreen princess not only reflects the independence — and athleticism — of young women today, but also Hollywood’s increasing willingness to tell their stories. The success of Bridesmaids, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Hunger Games showed us that audiences respond to well-drawn heroes, regardless of their gender, thus setting the stage for the classic literary convention of the princess to get a modern makeover.
A New Hope? •
Princess Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald, is the main character of the Disney/Pixar film Brave. HANDOUT
“It is time for a new paradigm,” said Brave producer Katherine Sarafian. “We’ve got an opportunity to make more characters that are relatable to modern girls” and audiences at large. These empowered young princesses point to a gradual undoing of the so-called Cinderella syndrome or Cinderella complex, a theory developed in the early 1980s that says that, like Cinderella, many women seek something external — such as a rich and handsome prince — to change their lives
and harbour a deep desire for dependence. “It’s not enough for women in the 21st century just to sit around and wait and be pretty,” said Karen Sternheimer, a professor of sociology at the University of Southern California. “An empowered heroine encountering a challenge reflects the whole mythology of individualism. What’s new is the means of achieving success. It used to be through beauty or marriage only. That hasn’t gone away, but now it can also be through a skill or encoun-
tering a challenge that traditionally we’ve heard in stories about men.” In developing Princess Merida’s story in Brave, Pixar writers and artists thought more about character than gender, Sarafian said. They considered Merida’s motivations, her frustrations and what makes her brave. “If you focus on her being a girl, it’s easy to get stuck in the trappings and rules and what a princess movie dictates,” the producer said. “We strip out gender, princess, fairy tale and
Rupert Sanders, the director of Snow White and the Huntsman, which was released earlier this month, said the heroic journey of his princess (played by Kristen Stewart) makes her “almost the female Luke Skywalker.”
just focus on character.” Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald, is a headstrong teenager in 12th century Scotland with a mane of fiery red curls and a temperament to match. Though her mother lovingly prepares her for her royal role, the young princess is more interested in sword fighting, archery and riding her horse through the forest. When she blatantly defies an ancient tradition, she jeopardizes the future of her family and the kingdom. “The story is not about the circumstances surrounding her,” Sarafian said. “She makes the core decision that throws things off. ... and it’s not something else really saving her. Even though there is a little magic in the story, she is really the driving force.” And she does it all in a dress. “Merida is not trying to pass herself off as anything other than a girl,” the producer said. “She just wants to be her own person.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The piece also had more than 75,000 Facebook recommendations, not counting the links posted on individual Facebook pages, where friends engaged in debate about work-life balance. “I knew this was going to resonate,” said Slaughter in a phone interview, but “I did not expect it to go viral quite this fast.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Shake up your Cobb salad 1. Heat the grill to medium-
high. Season the turkey strips with salt and pepper.
2. Using an oil-soaked paper towel held by tongs, oil the grill grates. Add the turkey and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach 165 F. Set aside to cool slightly. 3.
Meanwhile, set the scallions and tomatillos on the grill. Char the scallions for 3 minutes and the tomatillos for 3 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.

Sometimes you just have to mess with tradition. The classic Cobb salad seemed like a fine place for it. This basic chopped salad generally consists of chicken, hard-boiled egg, avocado, tomato, bacon, blue cheese and greens. It’s typically arranged on a plate in neat rows of ingredients to be mixed together by the diner. We decided to mess it up. In the most literal way. We brought this composed salad right out to the grill, making it a perfect choice for a weekend barbecue.
We throw the bacon in a skillet on the grill alongside the turkey. We even fry the eggs on the grill, too. Because who wants to boil eggs in the heat of summer? While we had the grill going, we charred up some scallions and tomatillos and blended them into a tangy herb vinaigrette. Once we had some smoky and tangy flavours, we countered them with creaminess of Gorgonzola and avocado. Serve it all on a bed of ice cold romaine. But not in pretty little rows. Pile it all on the plate and have at it.
Place an oven-safe skillet on the grill. When the skillet is hot, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.
5.
Discard most of the fat from the skillet, then return it to the grill. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them from touching, and fry as desired.
6.
In a blender, combine the charred scallions, tomatillos, red wine vinegar; thyme, sugar and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
7.
On each of 4 serving plates, place half a romaine heart. Pile on turkey tenders and avocado slices. Drizzle the vinaigrette over everything. Add slices of bacon, an egg, crumbled Gorgonzola and sliced tomato to each serving. alison press

An easy way to lighten it up is to switch it out for our favourite creamy substitute, non-fat plain Greek yogurt. We also opted to grill the chicken, an easy way to pump up the flavour while adding virtually no fat. For this recipe, we freshened up our salad by adding some berbere, an Ethiopian spice blend that can feature any number of seasonings, but often includes ginger, cardamom, garlic, cumin and chilies. If you can’t find it or you prefer something a little more tame, switch it out for another spice blend, such as curry powder or Italian seasoning. For even more flavour and some textural contrast, we added chopped Peppadew peppers. You usually can find these alongside the olives at the grocer. Cherry peppers also would work. After some chopped fennel bulb, a handful of toasted almonds and some grapes, we were finished. We like to serve this salad stuffed in wholewheat pita pockets with
salad greens, but you also could spoon it over a bed of greens for a hearty salad.
1. Heat the grill to mediumhigh.
2. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the meat to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Season with salt and black pepper.

Driving smarter, better and cleaner Fuel efficiency. How Canadians are travelling further with a few simple changes to their driving routine Ben Knight
green@metronews.ca
Halifax to Vancouver, 6,339 km, on less than five tanks of gas. That’s the record-setting result of Shell Canada’s Smarter Driver Challenge, where a team of drivers spent last week making the most fuel-efficient cross-continent drive on record. “Saving fuel saves you money, saves you stress, and is a safer way to drive,” says Lindsey McAndrews, a communications rep for Shell. “Fuel efficiency is now the number-one concern of Canadian car-buyers. It’s what people go into dealerships and ask for the most.” The drive was the brainchild of John and Helen Taylor, who have earned a global reputation as the world’s most fuel-efficient couple. After arriving In Vancouver on Friday, they now hold 93 different world records for covering more distance on less gas. The Taylor’s team of drivers included Alex Debogorski of TV’s Ice Road TruckBy the numbers

The significant loss in fuel efficiency when you accelerate from 100 to 110 kilometers per hour.
You can spend less time filling up at the pumps, with a few simple changes to your routine. istock
ers and officials from such environmental watchdogs as Pollution Probe and the Pembina Institute. Driving a well-tuned 2012 Volkswagen Passat, they needed only 5.59 litres of regular gas to cover each 100 km. The total fuel bill, Atlantic to Pacific? Just $453.
There was no special equipment involved. Just good maintenance, and a few canny driving tips. “Don’t speed,” McAndrews says. “You lose 22 per cent of your fuel economy between 100 and 110 km/hour. Use really steady, gentle pressure on the gas pedal. Leave a nice
space cushion between yourself and the car in front of you, so it’s safer driving.” Leaving space in front means you don’t have to use your brakes nearly as often. And that leads to significant fuel savings, as well. “With almost no practice, the average person can see a
10-per-cent improvement in their fuel efficiency, just by being conscious of not being a lead-foot. That means you’re saving at least 12 cents a litre.” There are other, more subtle benefits as well. “You’re never stressed out,” McAndrews notes. “You
know where you’re going, and you’re calm. You’re not flooring the gas on every stop light. You’re not riding people’s bumpers.” And now that the record’s been set? “Once someone sets a record, people want to break it,” she concludes.

A lesson in lean: U.S. public schools set to smarten up about weight gain Curves in the classroom. Higherups of health agree that obesity education should be mandatory for young learners The American Medical Association has put its weight behind requiring yearly instruction aimed at preventing obesity for public schoolchildren and teens. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest physicians group agreed last week to support legislation that would require classes in causes, consequences and prevention of obesity for first through 12th graders. Doctors will be encouraged to volunteer their time to help with that under the new policy adopted on the final day of the AMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual policy-making meeting. Another new policy adopted Wednesday says the AMA supports the idea of using revenue from taxes on sugar-sweetened sodas as one way to help pay for obesity-fighting programs. But the group stopped short Startling sight

Recent evidence suggests those numbers may have stabilized, but doctors say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small consolation when so many people are still too heavy. Excess weight is strongly linked with diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, and weight loss of just five per cent can help improve health, the Pennsylvania doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; measure said.

Just give it the college tri: teachers debate timing Should class be in a flash? Or studies be slow and steady?
Kate Lehman is the assistant dean for student success at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. How did Otterbein University arrive at a semester system? We just switched from trimesters to semesters. We are placing an emphasis on experiential education — learning through real-world situations. Our faculty felt that semesters were better suited to this due to the extended time in a term.
BRUCE WALSH
Metro World News in Philadelphia
In defence of the trimester ... Stuart J. Lipper is the dean of the graduate school of business administration at Fordham University in New York City. How did Fordham arrive at a trimester system? The MBA has always been the largest master’s program at Fordham, and it was largely a part-time program. We wanted to make it as flexible as possible for people that had to work. But we’re not keeping it because ‘this is the way it’s always been done.’ Current students like the flexibility. What are the drawbacks? It makes the jobs of administrators a bit crazy. It can be hectic for students, too: Sometimes the semester ends on Friday
What are the drawbacks? Some students like a shorter term so they can experience more topics over time. The sheer number of classes is fewer when you have fewer terms.
What type of class calendar would you prefer? istock
and the new one starts on Monday. There’s not a lot of downtime. But you also complete the degree faster. That’s the ultimate goal. Full-
time students can usually go through a program reasonably quickly. But in this program, part-time students can finish in three years. In defence of the semester ...
Do trimesters work better for grad students, because they are typically more interested in finishing sooner? Grad students take more summer courses than undergrads, and some of that is regardless of the calendar you’re operating under. But, yes, graduate students are more interested in going to school year-round.

It’s only fair, we played a great match and battled from the first to the last minute.” But not until penalties by Mario Balotelli, Andrea Pirlo — with an audacious slow chipshot down the middle of the goal — and Antonio Nocerino did the Azzurri find the net.

For England, it was yet another exit from a major tournament in the quarter-finals after a penalty shootout. England lost to Portugal in the same manner at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. England briefly led the shootout after Riccardo Montolivo missed Italy’s second penalty. His shot went wide of Joe Hart’s right post as the England goalkeeper guessed correctly. The momentum shifted after Pirlo’s bold piece of skill levelled it 2-2. “I just saw that the goalkeeper was moving a bit earlier so I decided to play it the other way,” Pirlo said. “It just comes to you at that moment and it went well.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Horoscope
Aries | March 21 - April 20.
You may be full of confidence right now but watch out you don’t take too much for granted.
Taurus | April 21 - May 21.
You will gain a lot more respect over the next few days if you deal with those who disagree with you quickly and with a touch of ruthlessness.
Gemini | May 22 - June 20.
You may be tempted to cut corners and hope no one notices but the planets warn they will — and your reputation will quickly head south.
Cancer | June 21 - July 22.
According to the planets you have allowed your standards to slip in recent months, but Saturn, the great taskmaster of the zodiac, will in some way force you to up your game.
Leo | July 23 - Aug. 22. You are thinking too hard about a problem that is quite simple in nature. Virgo | Aug. 23 - Sept. 22. For some reason you’ve got it into your head that someone you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis is not to be trusted. Libra | Sept. 23 - Oct. 22.
Saturn turns direct in your birth sign today, which means you will no longer be able to kid yourself that everything in your garden is rosy.
Scorpio | Oct. 23 - Nov. 21. Whatever you say there always
seems to be someone who chooses to disagree with you. It’s annoying but you must not let it get to you
Sagittarius | Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. Are you expecting too much of
yourself? Maybe, but it’s better than

Each and every person is born with a special talent. Do you know what yours is? If not this is the perfect time to find out.
Aquarius | Jan. 21 - Feb 18.
The situation you find yourself in today may be difficult but you won’t make it any easier by allowing your emotions to take control. Use your head and you will get through okay. You may be one of the few who do.
Pisces | Feb. 19 - March 20.
For too long you have believed that your options are limited and that there is only so much you can accomplish. Today’s events will encourage you to believe the opposite: that there is nothing in this world that is beyond you.
