Boardwalk patios about to occupy Whyte Avenue
Summer will officially hit Why-te Avenue starting Tuesday, as local businesses get the OK to install the new boardwalk-style patios.
Julio’s Barrio will be the first Old Strathcona business to ex-tend its sidewalk café by adding a boardwalk pedestrian cross-ing on June 10.
“We’re really excited about it and excited to see how it all works,” said Rob Ferguson, gen-eral manager at Julio’s.
Elephant and Castle, Hud-son’s, Pourhouse Bier Bistro and La Shish Taouk are all awaiting their permit approvals for the
boardwalk-style patios, which should be approved within the next two weeks, according to Gail Hickmore, general super-visor for development approv-als with the city.
Next Act and Kebab Express have permit applications for sidewalk cafés still pending, with Second Cup and Block 1912 awaiting licences for their well-used sidewalk patios.
Businesses are responsible for manufacturing the board-walk-style patios, which will al-low pedestrians to stroll down Whyte Avenue without cross-ing through the sidewalk patio.
“The addition of all the new sidewalk cafés will just add to the fact that we’re working towards a pedestrian-friendly environment along Whyte Avenue,” said Harry Luke, sen-ior planner for commercial and industrial development approvals.
City officials say the process
to get the boardwalk-style pat-ios installed on Whyte Avenue involves several city depart-ments to make sure things like street signage and parking are considered before the board-walks get installed.
For the businesses approved for the new boardwalk-style patios, they will be allowed to have them out until the end of October.
With the warmer weather already creeping into Edmon-ton, city officials say the patio extensions will add to the viv-acity already in Old Strathcona.
“I think it will make it much more vibrant. It’s already an ex-citing place,” said Hickmore.

Residents crowd into the gym at Prince Charles School on Tuesday night to speak with the city and company offi cials about the proposed relocation of theGreyhound bus terminal. RYAN TUMILTY/METRO
Greyhound has residents talking
Residents in the Prince Charles neighbourhood said clearly Tuesday night, they don’t want the wheels of Greyhound’s buses rolling through their neighbour-hood.
More than 100 people came out to a meeting about the company’s plans to re-
locate its passenger terminal from downtown to its cur-rent maintenance facility north of the Yellowhead on 123 Street.
Kim Olson, president of the community league, said she’s concerned the already congested streets will be even more crowded if the depot moves in.
“We’ve had enough of that,” she said. “We can only see that getting worse.”
Olson said there are also no hotels, restaurants, or other services near the pro-posed terminal, which will leave passengers walking through Prince Charles.
“We’re going to have 60 to
80 people coming off the bus and not all of them are going to be able to access services, where are they going to go?” She asked.
Liz Radke doesn’t live in the neighbourhood, but trav-els with Greyhound regularly and she came to plead with the company to consider a more accessible option.
“I won’t be able to get to it and there won’t be the kind
of transit service that there is downtown,” she said.
Greyhound’s regional vice president Peter Hamel said he understands the commun-ity’s concerns, but the facil-ity has no choice but to move and its options are limited.
“At the end of the day, we have to be fiscally respon-sible to make sure we have no business risk,” he said.
Hamel said the company is open to other options and Coun. Bev Esslinger who helped organize the meeting said she hopes the city can help find a better spot.
“As much as we can, I’m going to support them find-ing an alternative location.”

Commuters spending 57 hours per year in traffi c: GPS maker
Driving during rush hour adds 20 minutes to every hour of commuting in Edmonton, according to new numbers from the GPS maker TomTom.
The company uses data from its devices to track the commutes of Edmon-tonians and discovered that on average, it will take 20 per cent longer to get somewhere in traffic than if you are moving without traffic. In total the average commuter is spending 57 hours every year in traffic.
The afternoon rush is the worst time of day with trips taking 38 per cent longer and the morning rush sees trips taking 28 per cent longer. Accord-ing to TomTom, the worst times to travel during the week are Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon.
Rob Mitchell, the owner of ACS Express couriers, said he’s not surprised about the rush hour num-bers, but some of the data is hard to understand.
“I don’t know about Tuesday morning, but I can certainly see Friday afternoon,” he said.
TomTom CEO said the solution to traffic conges-tion is more information about how and where people are travelling.
“Real time traffic information can help drivers find the quickest shortcut on their journey, and assist governments to make smarter decisions to improve traffic flow for their cities,” said Harold Goddijn, CEO of TomTom. RYAN TUMILTY/METRO

Two men are in hospital follow-ing two separate shootings late Monday in Edmonton’s north end.
At about 10:04 p.m., Ed-monton police responded to a residence near 113 A Street and 136 Avenue.
According to police, several men forced their way into the home and threatened a couple in the residence.
A 48-year-old man was shot and a 44-year-old woman suf-
fered minor injuries.While police and EMS were
on scene treating the victims, an SUV pulled up to the same house asking for help. The car’s 22-year-old male passenger had been shot.
Police believe the SUV had travelled along 132 Avenue from 82 Street to 113 A Street.
They say neither of the two incidents appears to be ran-dom. Leah Germain/metro

relief. $42m raised for flood victims: red CrossThe Canadian Red Cross says it raised $42 million to help people affected by the floods that ravaged southern Alberta last June, and more people still require assistance.
To date the humanitarian organization says it has spent $27.5 million helping about 70,000 people who needed food, clothing and shelter.
John Byrne, a Red Cross spokesman, says the rest of the cash will be held in trust
to meet future needs through to 2016. He says those needs will include repairing damaged homes and replacing some fur-niture and appliances lost in First Nations houses.
The flooding forced more than 100,000 people from their homes and destroyed 14,000 properties.
The Red Cross says 95 cents of every dollar donated for flood relief goes to help people and communities. the CanaDian PreSS
Education
No need to fear curriculum revamp, says minister Efforts to roll out a new cur-riculum in Alberta schools may not be completed until 2020, but the education minister downplayed any talk of dramatic change to the inner workings of classrooms
Tuesday.“We’re taking a really good
curriculum and we’re just making it better,” Jeff Johnson said.
He said the three primary goals of the changes will be to re-emphasize literacy and numeracy, to be more deliberate in teaching “soft skills” — problem solving, communicating and so on — and to try to tackle a common complaint among teachers
that the current curriculum is “too packed.”
Johnson’s comments in an interview with Metro come on the heels of similar remarks from his deputy minister, Greg Bass, at a gathering of school-board representatives Tuesday.
Those in attendance also heard that, come next year, half of all high schools in the province will be involved in a comprehensive redesign
for senior students. Start and finish times for school may change, and there could be better online course offerings and the addition of specialized schools focused on career-and-technology studies.
The Calgary Board of Education, for example, has already laid the groundwork for a slate of high schools fo-cusing on everything from the culinary arts and cosmetology to aviation. jeremy noLaiS/metro
Edmontonians will get their say on how they want bus and LRT to mix in the west end of the city when public consultations start this month.
An open house on June 10 will unveil the city’s proposed options for the Jasper Place transit area once the new LRT station arrives, allowing people to voice their opinions on the proposed designs.
“There’s a really great op-portunity to do a better job in integrating buses with LRT when the new station comes,” said Anne Stevenson, principal planner with the city.
The four design options fall into two main groups: A dedi-cated bus street or a central is-land with buses driving around.
About 175 people have filled out the city’s online survey in
addition to the 200 people who have responded to a paper sur-vey, with both of the survey for-mats asking people to outline their priorities for the well-used transit centre.
Although there is no specific timeline for the transit centre’s improvements, city officials say it is something they wanted to get a head start on.
“It is far into the future and it will basically be along the LRT timing,” said Stevenson.
The planning is part of a broader area redevelopment plan including Britannia-Youngstown, Canora, Glen-wood, West Jasper Place, and part of the Stony Plain Road Corridor. StePhanie DuboiS/metro

Students learn benefits of getting their hands dirty
It might not look like much, but Inner City High’s garden is slowly starting to bloom.
Planted at the end of April, the garden filled with burgeon-ing tomatoes, bean and turnip plants is part of the Urban Ag High — an initiative offering students a chance to get their hands dirty while learning where their food comes from.
Teacher and co-ordinator Dan Scratch said the garden has given his students an op-portunity to take ownership of something.
“It’s immediate results, it’s gratification right away,” he said. “Within a week you see just a little bit starting to grow and sprout.”
Working with Edmonton’s inner city at-risk-youth, Scratch said it can be difficult motivat-ing students to attend classes, but the garden has given his team of dedicated students something to work towards.
“Each day as things continue to grow and we see the fruits of our labour, the students are be-coming more and more excited about it,” he said.
Laura Kemp of Sustainable Food Edmonton said the Urban Ag High program is now of-fered in 15 area schools and quickly growing.
“One of the values is teach-ing kids where their food comes from and we find if chil-dren learn to grow vegetables,

As the Inner City High’s gar-den continues to grow, Scratch said he hopes to expand the project.
“Ideally, what we’d like to do is expand inside and out-side,” he said. “Even create a business where students can sell what we grow at farmers’ markets for years to come.”

PC leadership race: Mandel endorses Prentice
Edmonton’s former mayor, Stephen Mandel, threw his arms around Jim Prentice Tuesday, endorsing the for-mer federal cabinet minister and declining to rule out his
own return to politics.Mandel said he believed
Prentice would be an excel-lent premier and has a firm understanding of the challen-ges facing Alberta’s cities.
“Mr. Prentice and his team have a great vision for what cities can be and the neces-sity to work with them,” he said.
Prentice said he doesn’t support new taxes for cities, but said the province has to work more closely with them to make sure they succeed.
“We can’t have year-to-year funding disagreements, funding pressures and an in-ability of our cities to plan
how they are going to be great cities,” said Prentice.
Prentice said he was hon-oured to have the mayor’s endorsement and he hopes to persuade Mandel to run.
Mandel said he hasn’t made any decision on that.
“I am not ruling out any-thing right now. I am ruling in making sure I help Jim and his team,” he said.
He added, however, that it would be easier to serve in Tory government if Prentice wins this leadership this fall.

The Weather Network is pre-dicting a delightfully average summer in Alberta this year.
The network released its annual summer forecast on Tuesday and predicts normal temperatures and normal pre-cipitation levels throughout most of the province.
Elena Lappo, a meteorolo-gist with the network, said they expect areas near the Rockies
will see slightly higher temper-atures, which could pose a risk for forest fires, but generally they expect an average sum-mer.
Lappo said warmer water in the Pacific Ocean will lead to slightly higher temperatures in British Columbia and the Yukon, with some spillover into Alberta.Ryan TuMilTy/MeTRo

Edmonton Police have charged a 19-year-old woman in con-nection with the death of a pedestrian who was struck and killed on Jan. 27 while crossing Whyte Avenue.
Emily Holmes, 19, is charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and careless driving.
At the time of the incident, witnesses told police that a
Chevy Cobalt was travelling northbound on 101 Street and was making a left-hand turn onto 82 Avenue, when it al-legedly struck David Finkel-man, 27, who was walking southbound across the avenue through a marked crosswalk, police said. The male was treat-ed by EMS on scene and trans-ported to hospital where he later died. MeTRo

Survivors recollect Tiananmen Square
By the hundreds
Scientists urge PM to reject pipelineA letter signed by hundreds of scientists from around the world is urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper to reject a federal panel report recommending approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline.
The letter was signed by 300 scientists at Canadian universities and inter-national institutions includ-ing Stanford, Cornell and Oxford. The canadian preSS
Liane Lee and Chen Yuguo are survivors of the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 4, 1989. lucy scholey/metro
Liane Lee remembers hold-ing back a screaming 12-year-old boy in Tianan-men Square.
“They killed my brother. They killed my brother!” she recalls him yelling to the sol-diers who had been firing at the pro-democracy protest-ers. It was the early hours of June 4, 1989 — a day that Lee still struggles talking about 25 years later. But she re-counted the bloody military massacre to an audience at the University of Ottawa on Tuesday.
Then a 26-year-old univer-sity student from Hong Kong, Lee held the boy back until he finally wriggled away. She says she still remembers the smell of his sweat and the warmth of his tears. Wit-nesses say the boy’s body was later carried to the first aid station, covered in blood, but Lee does not remember that. She figures she blocked it from her memory.
“I want to remember their names, but I can only remember their noble faces,” said Lee.The aSSociaTed preSS

“We should not forget June 4. Those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.”Cheuk Kwan, of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China
After 25 years. As China still tries to cover up the massacre, those who lived tell their tales of June 4, 1989, in Beijing
Currently
Like it never happenedChina allows no public discussion of the events of June 3-4, 1989, when soldiers accompanied by tanks and armoured personnel carriers fought their way into the heart of the city, killing hundreds of unarmed protesters and onlookers.
The government has never issued a complete, formal accounting of the crackdown and the number of casualties.
Beijing’s official line is that the protests aimed to topple the ruling Commun-ist Party and plunge China into chaos. Protest leaders said they were seeking greater democracy and free-dom. The aSSociaTed preSS

Britain’s fertility regulator says controversial techniques to create embryos from the DNA of three people “do not appear to be unsafe” even though no one has ever re-ceived the treatment, accord-ing to a new report released Tuesday.
The report based its conclu-sion largely on lab tests and some animal experiments.
The techniques are meant to stop mothers from passing
on potentially fatal genetic diseases to their babies and involve altering a human egg or embryo before transferring it into a woman.
Marcy Darnovsky, of the Center for Genetics and Soci-ety in the U.S., warned that al-lowing the method might lead to a slippery slope and tempt scientists and parents to use the techniques to create de-signer babies with certain traits. The aSSociaTed preSS

A 12-year-old girl accused of plotting to kill a friend to curry favour with a fictional Internet character shows signs of men-tal illness and should be in a hospital, her defence attorney said Tuesday.
The girl and another 12-year-old have been charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide in a stabbing that nearly killed another child the same age.
The two girls reportedly said to investigators that they had plotted for months to kill their friend because a charac-ter called Slenderman required them to kill someone before they could become his “proxy.”
Both girls are being held at a juvenile detention centre. An-thony Cotton, the attorney for one girl, said a judge rejected his request Monday to have the girl transferred to a men-tal health facility, but he will renew that request when she returns to court next week.
“From what I know, we’ve got a young girl here who has
no previous criminal record at all, and if the record is accurate, probably suffers from very ser-ious mental health issues,’’ said Cotton.
Cotton said the girl’s par-ents are trying to figure out whether there were any signs they may have missed.
The girls told investigators they read about Slenderman on
the horror website creepypasta.wikia.com. It’s not clear wheth-er they got access to the site at home or at school.
Both were charged Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court; they each face up to 65 years in prison if convicted. A court commissioner set bail at $500,000 cash per child. the associated press

2 deaths. highway crash broke family apart in an instant, survivor testifiesA young driver’s decision to stop her car on a highway to help shoo along ducks dramat-ically changed the lives of an entire Quebec family, a jury trial in Montreal heard Tues-day.
Emma Czornobaj has plead-ed not guilty to two counts each of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing the deaths of Andre Roy, 50, and his 16-year-old daughter, Jessie. They are survived by Pauline Volikakis, Andre Roy’s wife of 20 years and Jessie’s mother.
It should have been a quick 20-minute motorcycle ride home for Volikakis and her family to cap off a glorious summer day in 2010. She and her husband were both driving motorcycles; their daughter was with Roy on his bike. Vo-likakis fought back tears as she described how the lives of her husband and their only child ended so suddenly.
Crown prosecutors sug-gested Czornobaj’s decision to come to a full stop to help
a family of ducks triggered a fatal accident when Roy’s motorcycle slammed into her stationary car, sending the bike’s occupants flying.
Court heard the car was stopped with the engine run-ning and without emergency lights, on Highway 30, south of Montreal. the canadian press

Act of rebellion. Protesters in groups flashing three raised fingers could face arrest, military spokesman warns
Clowning around
Court fails to see humour in prankA Dutch court has convicted three men of threatening behaviour after one dressed up as a clown and chased cyclists with an axe, and the other two filmed the prank and posted it on YouTube.
The men, who were not identified, defended their actions as humor-ous. All were sentenced to 40 hours’ community service. the associated press
Ban removed
Turks can watch YouTube againTurkish authorities say they have restored access to YouTube after the country’s highest court ruled that the two-month ban on the video-sharing website violates freedom of expression.
The restrictions were imposed after the leak of a recording of a govern-ment meeting in which officials appeared to be discussing a possible mil-itary intervention in Syria. the associated press
strife imitates art. thais resisting coup adopt salute from hunger Games
The three-finger salute from the Hollywood movie the Hunger Games is being used as a real symbol of resistance in Thailand. Protesters against the military coup are flashing the gesture as a silent act of rebellion, and they’re being threatened with arrest if they ignore warnings to stop.
Thailand’s military rul-ers said Tuesday they were monitoring the new form of opposition to the coup. Re-porters witnessed the phe-nomenon and individuals were captured on film mak-ing the raised-arm salute.
“Raising three fingers has
become a symbol in calling for fundamental political rights,” said anti-coup activist Sombat Boonngam-anong on his Facebook page. He called on people to raise “3 fingers, 3 times a day’” — at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. — in safe public places where no police or military are present.
The gesture emerged over the weekend as protesters joined small flash mobs, or stood alone, flashing three fingers in the air.
“We know it comes from the movie, and let’s say it rep-resents resistance against the authorities,” Col. Weerachon Sukhondhapatipak, a spokes-man for the junta, told The Associated Press.
“If a single individual rais-es three fingers in the air, we are not going to arrest him or her,” he said. “But if it is a political gathering of five people or more, then we will have to take some action. If it persists, then we will have to
make an arrest,” he said.In the Hunger Games mov-
ie series and book trilogy, the salute symbolizes rebellion against totalitarian rule, sig-nifying thanks, admiration and goodbye to a loved one. the associated press

Thousands of Syrians flock to polls to re-elect Assad
Waving photos of President Bashar Assad and dancing with flags, tens of thousands of Syrians pledged renewed allegiance to Assad as they voted Tuesday in a presiden-tial election that excluded a vast swath of the pre-war population and was decried by the opposition as a charade.
Men and women wore lapel pins with Assad’s pic-ture and said re-electing him would give the Syrian leader more legitimacy to find a solution to the devastating three-year conflict that activ-ists say has killed more than 160,000 people. In the early evening, state television said the electoral committee ex-tended voting by five hours to midnight because of “high turnout at the ballot box.”
Even as crowds of Assad’s supporters flocked to the polls in Damascus, the sounds of war were inescapable. At
least three fighter jets roared low over Damascus.
The balloting is taking place only in government-controlled areas, excluding much of northern and east-ern Syria. Tens of thousands of Syrians abroad voted last week, although many of the more than 2.7-million Syrian refugees across the region either abstained or were ex-cluded by voting laws.
Assad’s win — all but a foregone conclusion — would give him a third seven-year term in office and likely fur-ther strengthen his determin-ation to crush the insurgency against his rule. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Health data
Giving birth top reason for hospital stay in CanadaIt appears Canadian hospi-tals know something about birthing babies.
A new report says giving birth was the leading reason for hospital stays in Canada in 2012-2013, accounting for nearly 370,000 hospitaliza-tions.
And caesarean births or C-sections were the most common surgery in the country during that period.
The data are being re-leased by the Canadian Insti-tute for Health Information.
It says there were nearly three million hospital stays in Canada during 2012-2013, with the average stay lasting about seven days.
Heart failure had the longest average hospital stay in the country with 9.3 days. THE CANADIAN PRESS
U.S. court ruling
Restrictions on abortion drugs an ‘undue burden’The strictest rules on the use of abortion drugs in the U.S. are likely to be struck down and will continue to be blocked while a lawsuit against them plays out, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
A unanimous three-judge
panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled the Arizona regula-tions appear to be an uncon-stitutional “undue burden on a woman’s right to abor-tion.” The decision reverses a lower court ruling that found the rules legal.
The regulations would ban women from taking the most common abortion-inducing drug — RU-486 — after the seventh week of pregnancy.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Hudson’s Bay Company hopes a trend toward luxury goods will continue to boost its bottom line after swinging to a first-quarter profit on strong sales from Saks Fifth Avenue.
“We’ve been seeing a very strong, positive trend in lux-ury items — the more unique, the more expensive, the more special a product is, the great-er the demand we seem to be getting, so that bodes well for Saks,” HBC governor and CEO Richard Baker said during a conference call Tuesday to dis-cuss first-quarter results.
HBC is on track to bring two Saks locations to Canada by the spring of 2016, he add-ed, since the company sees “a substantial untapped oppor-tunity for both luxury and off-price in Canada.”
The Toronto-based retailer completed its acquisition of luxury U.S. retailer Saks late in 2013 for $2.9 billion including debt.
Hudson’s Bay reported first-quarter net earnings of $176 million, up from a net loss of $22 million in the year ago
period as retail sales jumped to $1.85 billion, an increase of $971 million year-over-year.
Digital sales, important to the company’s future growth, were $207 million in the quar-ter and included sales at Hud-son’s Bay Company, Saks and Lord & Taylor.
They accounted for 11 per cent of the company’s overall sales in the quarter — a fig-ure HBC is hoping to raise to 20 per cent over the next five years. One of the reasons HBC bought Saks last year was that its digital capabilities were more developed.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Instagram. Spend even more time editing picsThe photo-sharing app Instagram is adding editing tools that go beyond the vintage-looking filters that made it popular.
The Facebook-owned app said in a blog post Tuesday that users will be able to adjust the bright-ness, contrast, saturation and other features of photos they take with their smartphones.
The tools are available after downloading the new-est version of Instagram, 6.0, on Android or Apple phones. The photo editing tools will appear under a wrench icon.
Instagram’s filters can enhance photos or add a certain hue to them, to make them look like they were taken with a Polaroid camera in the 1970s. But as smartphone cameras have improved, many users have become more sophisticated about their snapshots. Some have turned to other apps with more powerful editing tools to fix photos before posting them on Instagram.
Instagram has more than 200 million users. It was founded in 2010 and acquired by Facebook in 2012. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

METRO AUGMENTED REALITY
It may cost more, especially when you add in the ferry ride to Vancouver Island, but we’ll have to start having lunch at Smoke ‘N Water, the new restaurant at the Pacific Shores Resort in Parksville.
Not only does the food look simple and good, Smoke ‘N Water has a spectacular 6,000-gallon fish tank/aquarium.
Oh, and it’s the first no-tipping restaurant in Canada.
Smoke ‘N Water opened yesterday, and al-though I’ve been vigilantly scanning the Van-couver Island news, there are no reports of server riots or customer fainting spells. But it’s still early.
As you may remember, I’ve written about tipping before, almost exactly a year ago, when a number of U.S. restaurants introduced a no-tipping policy. But this is Canada, land of peace, order and everything-should-stay-the-same.
Food-industry experts are calling owner David Jones naive
for his view that “tipping is a broken business model,” but anyone who ever tries to do anything is naive. Until it succeeds.
Jones is going to actually pay his servers a liv-ing wage — between $20 and $24 an hour. Notori-ously underpaid and overworked cooks will get $16 to $18. He’ll even pay medical and dental, which is rare in Restaurantland.
Here’s the hitch — prices will be about 18 per cent higher than the average. Jones is betting you’ll pay roughly the same as you would if you left a tip just so you don’t have to leave a tip.
So let’s do the math. At $24 an hour, that’s $192 for an eight-hour shift. If you’re earning servers’ minimum wage, which in B.C. is $9 an hour, you make a base of $72. You have to make up
the rest on tips. Granted, servers can make well over $100 a day on tips, but they have to do a lot of stupid server tricks to make sure they get one — pretend to love everything on the menu, put little smiley faces on the bill, hover anxiously and expectantly
while the customer figures out the 15 or 20 per cent.This way, you get paid and retain your dignity. Crazy. It’s too early to tell if this will set a trend or if Smoke ‘N Water
will turn into so much smoke-‘n-water damage. But what’s not to like? If you’re a customer, you can walk into a restaurant ex-pecting good service to be part of the, um, service, not requiring an extra bribe. If you’re a server, you’re a member of a fairly paid team that works together to provide a superior dining experi-ence. Like a grown-up.
And if you’re David Jones, columnists across the continent write about your new restaurant the day after it opens.
Naive, eh?
LIKE TIPPING, BUT WITHOUT THE TIP

Replica of van Gogh’s ear grown from relative’s DNA A German museum has put on display a copy of Vincent van Gogh’s ear that was grown using some of the Dutch artist’s genetic material.
The Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe says the ear consists of living cells grown from samples provided by the great-great-grandson of van Gogh’s brother. The museum says the genes are about 1/16th identical. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Naive like a fox
Jones is betting you’ll pay roughly the same as you would if you left a tip just so you don’t have to leave a tip.
Ear-y legend
He’s known as the tortured genius who cut off his own ear, but two German historians claim that van Gogh lost his ear in a fi ght with his friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin, with whom he was hopelessly infatuated.
• The offi cial version usually goes that the disturbed Dutch painter severed his left ear lobe with a razor blade in a fi t of lunacy one evening shortly before Christmas 1888. Bleeding heavily, van Gogh then wrapped it in cloth, walked to a nearby bordello and presented the severed ear to a prostitute.
• A book argues that van Gogh may have made up the story to protect Gauguin, a keen fencer, who actually lopped it off with a sword during a heated argument.

Why lowest isn’t always best.Don’t get us wrong. A low rate is great. But most low rate mortgages come with restrictive terms that could keep you in your mortgage longer than you’d like. Which means paying interest longer than you’d like. So, instead of thinking about the cost of your mortgage in rate terms, think about it in dollar terms. For example, how much interest will you pay over the life of your mortgage?
How restrictive terms cost you in the end.The key to saving interest costs is having the flexibility to increase payments or make extra payments. With rates as low as they are, regular lump sum and increased payments will save you more interest over the life of your mortgage. Even more than switching to bi-weekly payments!†
good advice is worth its weight in gold.Locking in at today’s low rates might be right for you. But keep in mind that small changes can make a big difference in helping you become mortgage-free faster so keeping that flexibility is essential.
So how can we offer a rate this low with the benefits you want?Since we refuse to overload our mortgages with restrictions and we insist on giving people competitively low rates, the only way we can do it is for a limited time.

Stone ready to polarize audiences once againOliver Stone will write and direct a film about Edward Snowden, one of two high-profile films in the works about the National Security Agency leaker.
Stone announced Mon-day that he plans to adapt “The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World’s Most Wanted Man,” a book by Guardian journalist Luke Harding.
The project pairs one of cinema’s most controversial directors with one of the most explosive news events in recent years — one that is ongoing.
“This is one of the great-est stories of our time,” Stone said in a statement.
He will have some deep-pocketed competition. Sony Pictures last month purchased the big-screen rights to Glenn Greenwald’s “No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the U.S. Surveillance State.”
The film is being produced by James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Stone has advocated for the former NSA contract systems analyst, who is liv-ing in Russia on a tempor-ary grant of asylum after leaking massive amounts of NSA documents to the media.
“To me, Snowden is a hero because he revealed secrets that we should all know, that the United States has repeatedly violated the Fourth Amend-ment,” Stone said in a press conference at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic.
Déjà vu for Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt as she explains why wearing all of that gear must feel like an eternity in their new movie Edge of Tomorrow. CONTRIBUTED
Tomorrow, today, yesterday. Latest Tom Cruise fl ick sees its own shadow in a recurring theme on the big screen
“How many times have we been here,” asks Rita (Emily
Blunt). “For me, it’s been an eternity,” replies William (Cruise) as he relives the same day of an alien inva-sion over and over.
Edge of Tomorrow is a time-loop movie that can best be described as War of the Worlds meets Ground-hog Day.
In Groundhog Day, Bill Murray says, “Every mor-ning I wake up without a scratch on me, not a dent in the fender. I am an immor-tal.” His take on a drunk,
suicide-prone weatherman who discovers the beauty of life by living the same day endlessly may be the grand-daddy of all Hollywood déjà vu stories, but many other movie characters have been caught in cinematic time circles.
The DVD cover for 2006’s Salvage asks the question, “What if every day you re-lived your own murder?” Originally called Gruesome for the festival circuit, the movie is as grim as Bill Mur-
ray’s film is life-affirming. Called a “digital video hell — spawn of Psycho, Eyes Without a Face and Ground-hog Day,” by Variety, Sal-vage is the story of Claire (Lauren Currie Lewis), a convenience store worker who undergoes her murder over and over. Despite its extremely low budget — star Lewis doubled as the film’s make-up artist — Sal-vage was an official selec-tion of the 2006 Sundance Festival.

When The Fault in Our Stars landed on bookshelves more than two years ago, John Green’s enthusiasm was non-existent for a screen version of his story featuring teens with cancer.
“I had had some Holly-wood experiences before that weren’t great and I felt like Hollywood would struggle to make a movie where the fe-male romantic lead has nasal cannula tubes in her nose for the entire movie,” he said.
Well, hello 2014, and Mon-day night’s premiere of TFIOS, the movie. It’s the first of Green’s bestselling books to go Hollywood after he was won over by the script’s dedication to his characters in the clutch-es of adolescence. Oh, and it didn’t hurt that one of the pro-ducers was a huge Liverpool soccer club fan like Green.
Already a rock star among young readers, mostly of the teen girl variety, the Orlando, Fla.-raised Green, the guy who looks straight out of central casting as Unassuming Writer,
now walks red carpets, clowns on morning TV and banters with new BFF Nat Wolff and the movie’s other young stars, Shailene Woodley and new-comer Ansel Elgort.
In a plaid button-down shirt and conservative suit jacket, it was the bespectacled,
36-year-old Green — not the hunky, younger Wolff — who got the loudest screams Satur-day from several hundred girls who showed up for a panel dis-cussion about the movie dur-ing the publishing industry’s annual BookExpo America.
Green leapt off the stage of the stuffed conference hall to bear hug a 16-year-old amputee, Robert Berger of Damerest, N.J. Berger, a high school sophomore with a pros-thetic like TFIOS love interest Gus Waters, made his way to a microphone and referenced a bedroom scene when he of-fered: “I’d like to thank you,
John, for answering a lifelong question of mine, which is, whether during sex, I keep my leg on or off.”
Green, a father of two, is ever respectful of Berger and his other “nerdfighters,” the community of fans worldwide
that has led him to Holly-wood’s door and greet each other with his tagline: “Don’t Forget to Be Awesome!” They even have a special thing they do with their arms, crossing at the chest and spreading their fingers in twos. You sort of have to be there.
The writer was vigilant as a presence on the movie’s set, sobbing when the film-makers got it right and cheer-ing on Woodley, Elgort and Wolff. Wolff is slated to star in the next stop on Green’s big-screen journey for his Paper Towns.
So, can Green hold on to his mojo? Does the writer part of his brain now need to make peace with his developing big-screen brain?
“I hope that I’m not de-veloping a Hollywood brain, to be honest with you. I love books. I love writing books. I love movies, too, but I am a book writer and if I’m lucky enough to be able to work with people who are great at making movies then I feel very fortunate, but I have no desire to become a movie person,” he said.

Hill backtracks a� er hurling homophobic slur at pap
This could just as easily be titled “Paparazzo success-fully baits Jonah Hill into losing his cool by insulting his shorts.”
On Monday, a photog-rapher pestering the comedy star caught him on tape using a homophobic slur (TMZ has the video). Hill, who was walking with friends in L.A., did his best to ignore the paparazzo, who was dancing around and shouting questions. “I
like the shorts, though, bro. They’re pretty sexy,” the photographer said at one point, apparently a swipe at Hill’s flowery summer shorts. Hill eventually lost his cool and yelled, “Suck my d—, you f—,” at the photographer.
On Tuesday, Hill, who’s been known as a strong sup-porter of the LGBT commun-ity, went on The Howard Stern Show to offer his sincere apology for using the slur. “In that moment, I said a disgusting word that does not at all reflect how I feel about any group of people. I grew up with gay family members. I’m leaving here to go spend the day with one of my closest co-workers and best friend, who is gay, who’s getting married, who I’m going to stand (with) at his wedding,” Hill told Stern.

“I took a step back. This guy had latched onto my lapels. I looked down and the nutter was trying to bury his face in my crotch, so I cracked him twice in the back of the head — not too hard, but enough to get his attention because he did let go. I think he was then just grabbing for a handhold because the guys were on him, and he reached up and caught my glasses.”
The crotch-targeting is in line with Sediuk’s style of prank, as he’d been caught sticking his head under Amer-ica Ferrera’s dress last month on a Cannes red carpet.
The disgraced TV repor-ter was sentenced to three years’ probation, a year of counselling and a temporary restraining order keeping him away from Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
“I don’t mind an exhib-itionist,” Pitt insists. “But if this guy keeps it up, he’s go-ing to spoil it for the fans who have waited up all night for an autograph or a selfie, because it will make people more wary to approach a crowd. And he should know if he tries to look up a woman’s dress again, he’s going to get stomped. “
No jail time for Lilo’s momThe mother of actress Lindsay Lohan won’t go to jail for speeding and driv-ing drunk on a New York highway.
A judge ordered Dina Lohan on Tuesday to pay over $3,000 in fines and fees. She’ll also perform 100 hours of community service
and participate in an anti-drunk- driving program.
Lohan pleaded guilty in April to aggravated driving while intoxicated and speed-ing in Nassau County on Long Island in September. She has said she was fleeing paparazzi.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Texas. Forget the golf and Vegas debauchery, a weekend at a ranch and spa is the new kind of mancation
Dude, here’s the ranch!
Hoping to plan the ultim-ate mancation this summer but feel the Vegas Bachelor Party is overplayed? You’ll find the perfect alternative at Travaasa Austin Experien-tial Resort, located in breezy Texas Hill Country.
Nestled against 210 acres of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, the resort offers a perfect playground for macho men who have a pen-chant for pampering.
Meals are served at Jean’s Kitchen under the watchful eye of chef Benjamin Baker, who creates new menus each day to reflect the changing harvest.
His kitchen showcases produce from the resort’s working organic farm, as well as locally sourced meat, fish and dairy to create flavourful, healthful meals with a Texas fusion flair.
Those who enjoy a splash in their glass will appreci-ate the top-notch sipping tequila, small batch bourbon and local Texas craft brews on offer at the bar.
The resort includes riding stables, a high ropes chal-lenge course designed in partnership with Outward Bound, fitness centre, pump track, yoga studio, infinity-edge pool, dining room which spills onto a pretty
patio, and a tranquil, 11-room award-winning spa.
Guests are encouraged to make the most of their vaca-tion; relax by the pool and stretch out at morning yoga or dive right into the adrena-lin rush via bike pump track and giant swing.
Those looking for an active adventure will find a dizzying number of activ-ities to chose from. Start by holding your breath while
walking the tight rope at the Prickly Pear Chal-lenge Course before soaring through the treetops on a 250-foot-long zip line. Cyc-lists will find their own slice of nirvana while whizzing through a 100-square-feet Pump Track specializing in jump biking.
And no trip to Texas is complete unless you’ve sad-dled up, so be sure to stop by the equine centre with
your cowboy boots. Hop on a friendly quarter horse for a guided trail ride, which includes a splash in a quiet creek and zig-zag adventure up a hillside dotted with oak and mountain juniper.
Finish the trip by treat-ing yourself at Travaasa’s award-winning wellness spa. Male guests indulge in treat-ments in the Western Sky Room, lined with reclaimed Douglas fir planks from an
old Texas elementary school and Loblolly pine from a lo-cal library.
The ceiling is etched with a fibre-optic recreation of the Texas night sky, a deer bust hangs overhead and a raw-hide chair offers a welcome spot to relax both before and after your treatment.
Indulge in the detoxifying juniper olive stone exfolia-tion and massage and you’ll be singing sweet zzz’s.
After a hard day on the ranch, kick back with tequila and meals made with produce from the resort’s organic farm. PHOTOS: ANDREW DOBSON/METRO

Flanders Fields tour not one to forget
The Trenches of Death in Diksmuide, Belgium, are well preserved. all photos: the associated press
Crimson poppies still dance in the breeze as if nothing horrific happened in Flan-ders Fields of Ypres. But a century after the start of the First World War, the flowers endure as a symbol of the dead, in part because of a celebrated poem:
“In Flanders fields the poppies blow — Between the crosses, row on row.”
The famous flowers are among many reminders of the region’s connection to the Great War. Amid monu-ments and headstones in this western corner of Bel-gium, Flanders’ eerie land-scapes, trenches and bun-kers continue to evoke the soldiers who died here by the hundreds of thousands. As carefree 21st century travel goes, a tour of Flan-ders Fields packs a punch that can long stay with you.
The haunting poem, In Flanders Fields, was written by Lt. Col. John McCrae, a doctor from Guelph, Ont., who ran a field hospital during the war. During a recent wreath-laying cere-mony at the massive Tyne Cot burial grounds to hon-our the dead, the poem was read aloud by a student vis-iting with a group from St. George’s Academy in Slea-ford, England.
“The kids are really moved by it,” said teacher Charlotte Tilley. “We had about half a dozen crying.”
One stunning aspect of a visit here is the region’s beauty and serenity. A spectacular springtime has turned the once barren, muddy battlegrounds lush with ripening wheat fields and pastures where cattle chew thick grass.
Walk through Ypres, which has four battles named for it, and you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in a splendidly pre-served medieval town with a Gothic hall, gabled houses and spires. But what was left of the town on Nov. 11, 1918 — when the war end-ed — were stumps, rubble and vague memories where homes once stood. Ypres’ second battle saw the first use of chemical weapons in warfare, and its third, named for the tiny village of Passchendaele, saw 150,000
men die in 100 days.Some wanted Ypres to
stay in ruins as remem-brance. The people immedi-ately decided otherwise and started rebuilding, “as if there never had been a war. It was very much a psycho-logical reaction,” said Piet Chielens, the co-ordinator of the In Flanders Fields museum, which is housed in the rebuilt neo-Gothic hall on the marketplace.
“Ypres immediately be-came a centre of remem-brance. The first tourists and pilgrims arrived in early spring of 1919,” said Chielens.
Massive crowds are ex-pected this year. “We be-lieve there will be some-thing like half a million visitors this year coming
from at least 70 different nations,” Chielens said.
Even ahead of the offi-cial start of the centenary in August, hundreds, some-times a few thousand, flock to the 8 p.m. playing of the Last Post, the daily salute at Ypres’ Menin Gate, where walls list 54,000 soldiers who perished but were never found.
The deafening silence once the bugle stops play-
ing is a must in remem-brance tourism, as is the In Flanders Fields Museum. But visitors should also take time away from the cere-monies and crowds to wan-der across the flat fields dot-ted with low-flung ridges where so many fought and died.
“The real museum is still out there,” said Chielens. “The traces, the scars in the landscape, the numerous
monuments and cemeteries that will give you that sense of loss and tragedy.”
It might be a tiny cem-etery where only dozens of soldiers lie, a rain-sodden trench, or a derelict Ger-man bunker.
The city of Diksmuide has the Ijzertoren memor-ial with sweeping views of battlefields from atop its 84-metre (275-foot) tow-er. Nearby, the warren of Dodengang trenches brings the claustrophobia of war home, even if it no longer has the rats, stench and enemy within shouting dis-tance.
Yet tourists should not limit their trip to pondering war. “You learn to under-stand what the importance of living and enjoying life is after you have been con-fronted with the experi-ence,” Chielens said.
For kids, that might mean a visit to the Belle-waerde theme park. For grown-ups, gastronomy stands out. Those with money and sense to reserve ahead should try In De Wulf, considered one of the world’s best restaurants, in the village of Dranouter, close to the Kemmel Ridge battle site.
You might spot a chef picking flowers in the fields that will turn up on your dinner plate, or you might be served, as a vegetable, shoots from hop plants used in brewing the re-gion’s famous beer.
For tourists, there’s nothing like a summer’s evening with a Hommelbier or St. Bernardus Tripel on a terrace to let the day sink in. And while the memory of those fluttering poppies may fade, the sense of what happened here will likely grow stronger. As McCrae wrote:
“If ye break faith with us who die — We shall not sleep, though poppies grow — In Flanders fields.” The AssociATed Press

Bucket List
Remember the Alamo
From the very day General Antonio López de Santa Anna and his army arrived outside San Antonio, Texas (Feb. 23, 1836), people have been talking about the ensuing battle, the people involved and the myths that sprang from this legendary part of American history. The state’s top tourist attrac-tion, the Alamo sees more than 2.5 million visitors every year at the 4.2-acre site. For 13 days, the Texan and Tejano defenders stood their ground, getting help from outside volunteers in this tug-of-war over Texas. Among the able bodies were knife fighter Jim Bowie of Bowie knife fame, and former Tennessee congress-man David Crockett. The museum does a nice job of making your visit interest-ing. doug wallace/metro

Can you hear the sounds of Sarajevo?
If you find yourself on Fer-hadija street behind the old synagogue at noon, close your eyes and listen to the bells from the Catholic cath-edral and the Serb-Orthodox church mixing with the Mus-lim call for prayer. They call this the sound of Sarajevo.
And yet, Sarajevo is also known for the sound of a gunshot that led to the First World War a century ago. It was June 28, 1914, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s crown prince Franz Ferdi-nand was assassinated here by Gavrilo Princip.
The Great War left mil-lions dead and made four em-pires disappear.
A memorial plaque and video displays of photos from the assassination decorate a museum building at the downtown corner where Princip changed the world. The war’s centennial will be marked this summer with conferences, exhibits and concerts.
But the First World War is just one era in the history of this multicultural city of 390,000, with its legacies
of Islamic Ottoman, Jew-ish, Christian Orthodox and Roman Catholic religions. The city is fondly known for hosting the 1984 Winter Olympics. And it is infam-ously remembered as a key battleground of the Bosnian War in the 1990s.
Despite the dark chapters of the past, today the city is defined by what locals call “the Sarajevo spirit,” an in-teresting and mostly har-monious mix of religions and cultures. And any visit must include a look at how that blend came to be.
Start with the old town called Bascarsija. Ottoman Turks founded Sarajevo here in the 15th century as a centre of commerce with three malls, colonies of Ven-etian and Dalmatian traders and hundreds of shops. The tolerant empire filled the town’s skyline with mina-rets and church towers, at-tracting anyone who fled Europe’s Catholic inquisi-tion.
When Queen Isabella of Spain expelled Sephardic Jews in 1492, thousands found ref-uge in “Yerushalaim chico,” or Little Jerusalem, which is how they nicknamed the city. Sarajevo’s soul resides in this Oriental quarter and resi-dents believe that time runs slower in its water pipe bars, mosques and crafts shops.
Tourists usually stop at the Sebilj fountain on the cen-
tral square for selfies and to refresh themselves from one of its pipes — as locals some-times whisper the first part of an old Sarajevo saying: “Whoever drinks water from Bascarsija ...”
The travel advisory ends by saying the water is cursed and will make you return to Sarajevo over and over till you die.
Real-time begins again where Bascarsija ends.
In 1878, Bosnia turned from a western Ottoman province into a southeastern Austro-Hungarian province. The transition is visible at Ferhadija street near number 30.
Look west, and the seces-sionist-style four-storey build-ings and churches tell you: Central Europe. Perhaps Aus-tria. Look east: perhaps some old part of Istanbul with the low, stone structures with oriental shops, minarets and water fountains.
In the chaotic century that followed, Sarajevo was part of four different countries and in two wars. It offers a great deal of history in a small area.The AssociATed Press
City of harmony. Despite a conflict-riddled past, Sarajevo is a vibrant multicultural city

Cruise your way through culture shock caused by any new cubicle
If you’re ready to make a career move, transitioning from one office to another can be a chal-lenge. You’ve done your home-work on Company X and have the skill set to succeed in your new role, but the everyday de-tails of your new environment are a mystery.
Organizational culture is the overall system of beliefs, be-haviours, customs and dynam-ics that make up the identity of a workplace. There are as many different types of culture
as there are companies, so how do you prepare yourself for suc-cess if your past and present work cultures are like night
and day? Here are seven useful tips to ensure a smooth transi-tion and help you overcome any office culture shock.
Before you get there
1. Establish a cultural checklist. Make a list of the qualities you liked and disliked about your last workplace to figure out which cultural qualities you need at the office in order to thrive (like an open-door policy with management) and those you can live without (lunch-time yoga classes). Developing your sense of self-awareness can help to inform your future career strategy.
2. Identify what Company X’s online presence is like. Are they active on social media? Do they have a blog? Does their website feature staff photos or personal bios? If an online culture is fun and interactive it may reflect a youthful culture offline. If their online presence is more formal,
offline culture could be by the book.
3. Ask strategic questions dur-ing an interview to get an idea of how your cultural checklist might fit with theirs. Targeted questions that touch on issues like work/life balance can offer you a glimpse of their cultural expectations and help you de-termine whether you can get behind them. Potential ques-tions include: “What does the busiest time of year look like?” and “Which teams will I be interacting with?”
Once you arrive
4. Embark on a “culture walk” around the office and look for artifacts that im-plicitly tell a company story. Family photos on desks, ac-complishments on office walls, memos on bulletin boards and the arrangement of furniture can all provide insights. Market-driven cul-tures typically have financial goals and targets displayed in plain view on whiteboards. Highly collaborative cultures might have open-concept work areas where desks are arranged into clusters.
5. Listen to the conversations happening around the office. You can discern culture by the way work is communi-
cated. Are projects assigned primarily through email or is your manager more likely to stop by your desk to chat about it in person?
6. Find a mentor who can help you navigate office norms and habits. Invite them out for coffee as a way to get to know them better and learn more about their time with Company X. 7. Ask around about social in-itiatives and activities at the organization, such as volun-teer programs or organized sports leagues. Establishing personal connections can sometimes be a challenge at larger organizations, so getting involved outside of the office can help you build social capital. The initiatives a company is involved with can also be a great indication of their cultural values. Remember, adjusting to a new role always takes some time. Be patient with the process and be proud of yourself for moving on to the next step in your career path!

Take a second look at my LinkedIn
You may have set up a LinkedIn account, filled out a few basic fields and given up on complet-ing it.
That’s a bad idea. When it comes to your online presence, having an incomplete LinkedIn profile suggests that you don’t care about sharing your profes-sional details (or even worse — that you don’t have anything worth sharing).
A major hurdle for many new LinkedIn users is complet-ing the Summary field, because it asks you to get creative in-stead of just plugging in famil-iar details.
Here are five tips to help you get started.
Nail the LinkedIn basicsYou should never leave the Summary section blank. Use your LinkedIn summary to:• Introduce yourself and sum-marize your work history and notable accomplishments.• Highlight your core special-ties and your areas of interest.• Specify the industry, field or type of role you are looking for to help recruiters find the right match for you.• Write in first-person, as it helps you look more person-able and confident.
Use up the whole word limitTry your best to use the charac-ter limit that LinkedIn allows.
Making good use of all 2,000
characters will ensure that you are getting the full benefits of essential keyword optimiza-tion.
Fill your summary with key-words that the next recruiter or hiring manager will be search-ing for to make sure they no-tice you. For example: Sales, business development, account management and strategic partnerships are all good key-words for someone pursuing a career in sales.
Break it upAny number of your LinkedIn visitors may have no idea who you are. That’s why it’s import-ant to have a profile layout that encourages people to read and engage with you. Make your summary more visually appeal-ing and easier to read by:• Maximizing the value of every word. Cut what you don’t need.• Using headers and sub-head-ers.• Carefully organizing your line-breaks and blocks of text so they are reader-friendly.
Get creative, and don’t be
afraid to look at other LinkedIn members’ profiles to see how you could do things differently.
Identify what you’re looking forIn addition to explaining who you are and what you do, you should make sure that your LinkedIn summary helps a reader figure out whether or not they should connect
with you. This is particularly important if you’re new to LinkedIn, or are trying to pro-vide clear criteria for accepting some connections and declin-ing others.
This can be as simple as adding a line like: “As a recent marketing graduate and as-piring content marketer, I’m happy to connect with profes-sionals in the industry or other
students and recent grads who want to explore projects in the marketing and communica-tions field.”
As you develop a clearer career objective or more ex-perience, you can update this statement to clearly signal the opportunities that lie within your field of interest.
According to Jobvite’s 2013 Social Recruiting Survey re-
sults, 94 per cent or respond-ents use LinkedIn to recruit for talent and 92 per cent have successfully hired through LinkedIn. So make sure you do everything you can to get no-ticed on LinkedIn.

Don’t write up something that is generic and boring. Focus on telling a good story that highlights your skills and experience, while also communicating your personal character — it’s a lot like writing a cover letter.

CFL labour
Union says work stoppage looks like a possibilityThe CFL is one step closer to a work stoppage after the league rejected the union’s most recent offer, the president of the CFL Players’ Association said Tuesday.
“I think we are,” Scott Flory said in a phone inter-view. “I think it’s safe to say we are.”
The players tabled a new offer on Monday that called for a shorter term and included concessions on the salary cap and the amount of revenue that would trigger the renegotiation of the deal.
The two sides haven’t met face-to-face since Thurs-day and no new talks are scheduled.
CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said he hopes the players don’t go on strike but that the next move is theirs.
“We understand they’re very serious but we want to see football,” he said.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kings, Rangers have taken long roads to � nalIt’s taken the Kings 21 playoff games and the Rangers 20 to get to this Stanley Cup final. They have survived five Game 7s along the way.
But in truth, the journey started a lot longer ago.
The ride cost Los Angeles forward Jeff Carter his two front teeth. Ask him how it happened and he digs deep into the memory bank.
“Couple of separate in-cidents,” he said, flashing a smile with a gap that would accommodate a quarter. The backstory gets a little fuzzy after that, although a puck to the mouth was involved.
Kings goalie Jonathan Quick changed allegiance on
his road. He grew up a Ran-gers fan in Milford, Conn., and remembers watching Mike Richter and Mark Mess-ier lead the Blueshirts to the 1994 Stanley Cup.
He recalls having a couple of friends over for Game 7. He
was eight years old.On Wednesday, Carter,
Quick and the Kings go after their second Stanley Cup in three seasons with the under-dog New York Rangers stand-ing in their way. New York is back in the final for the first time in 20 years.
On media day Tuesday, Los Angeles GM Dean Lombardi took a playful swipe at New York, noting he had worked in Philadelphia for three years.
“Part of the qualifications for that job was I had to learn to hate the Rangers in a hurry,” he said.
The hate is on for real Wednesday. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Eugenie Bouchard is preparing for her second straight Grand Slam semifinal. Fellow Can-adian Milos Raonic is still look-ing to reach his first.
Bouchard defeated Spain’s Carla Suarez Navarro 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-5 at the French Open on Tuesday. The match was com-pleted a couple hours before Raonic came up short in his bid to reach the men’s final four, dropping a 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-4 decision to Novak Djokovic of Serbia.
Next up for Bouchard, a 20-year-old from Westmount, Que., is a meeting with Maria Sharapova. The 2012 cham-pion from Russia advanced with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 over Garb-ine Muguruza of Spain.
“I’m very content with a win like this,” said Bouchard. “It was a battle throughout. She played very well especially on long points.
“The last set was key for me. I’m really excited to be playing Sharapova in a big match here.”
Bouchard is the third Can-adian woman to reach the Roland Garros quarter-finals after Carling Bassett-Seguso (1984, 1986) and Helen Kelesi (1988, 1989). Bouchard and
Bassett-Seguso are the only players to reach the semifinals at a Grand Slam, the latter do-ing so at the 1984 U.S. Open.
Earlier this year, Bouchard reached the Australian Open semifinals but lost to eventual champion Li Na of China. Syl-vain Bruneau, the captain of the Canadian Fed Cup team, said Bouchard learned from that experience and is com-fortable in the spotlight.
“I expect her to be able to really raise her (game), to real-
ly play her best tennis against Sharapova,” he said. “Really be in the moment and not be caught up with anything else (except) the ball and the next
point.”As for Raonic, the No. 8
seed from Thornhill, Ont., went toe-to-toe with Djokovic over the first two sets before fading in the third. The Can-adian fired 21 aces but con-verted only one of two break opportunities.
The second-seeded Djokov-ic was broken while serving for the victory at 5-2, but the vet-eran closed it out two games later when a Raonic forehand sailed wide. THE CANADIAN PRESS

In a better place
“To me, it’s just a better situation than it was in Ottawa.
I’m just being honest, from top to bottom.”Quarterback Kevin Glenn on being traded to the B.C. Lions from the Redblacks. Glenn said he had wanted to be “the guy” in Ottawa, but after the signing of Henry Burris in February, Glenn demanded a trade.

Going the distance
26The Kings are nearing the record for most playoff games in a season. The current mark is 26, set by the 1987 Philadelphia Flyers and 2004 Calgary Flames. The most games by a cup winner is 25, by the 2006 Carolina Hurricanes and 2011 Boston Bruins.

The Toronto Blue Jays can win an occasional pitching duel, too — or at least hold their own until Brett Lawrie and the rest of their sluggers finally break through.
In a game that was score-less until the ninth inning, Lawrie’s three-run homer highlighted a big burst for the Blue Jays, who then held on for a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.
Drew Hutchison pitched seven scoreless innings for Toronto, which now has the second-best record in the American League but still faces questions about the stur-diness of its starting rotation.
“He looks like a veteran out there,” Lawrie said of Hutchison. “He’s throwing the ball very well for us. He’s keeping us in ball games.”
The Blue Jays have a team ERA of 4.07, and aside from Mark Buehrle, their pitching has been shaky. But Hutchi-son was sharp against Detroit, allowing three hits without a walk and striking out seven.
If Toronto can pitch like that, Lawrie, Jose Bautista, Ed-win Encarnacion and the rest of the lineup should be able to provide enough offence.
“I didn’t really get going and get into a good rhythm until probably about the fourth or the fifth,” Hutchi-son said. “Obviously, I believe I’m a good pitcher, and I’m capable of doing that every night, and that’s what I expect out of myself.”
Anibal Sanchez matched Hutchison with seven score-less innings, but both bull-pens came unglued in the ninth. The Blue Jays broke loose against Joe Nathan (2-2) to win this matchup of the AL East and AL Central leaders.
J.D. Martinez hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth for the Tigers. Casey Janssen then came on and struck out Don Kelly for his ninth save in 10 chances.
Dustin McGowan (3-2) worked the eighth for the win.The AssociATed Press

Corruption allegations
Platini fights back at paper’s claimsFIFA vice-president Michel Platini has criticized a British newspaper for linking him to corruption claims about Qatar’s 2022 World Cup bid.
The Daily Telegraph led Tuesday’s edition reporting that Platini secretly met with his FIFA board colleague Mohamed bin Hammam of Qatar “shortly before” the World Cup vote in December 2010.
The claim follows the rival Sunday Times alleging
that Bin Hammam, who FIFA expelled in 2012, paid soccer officials millions of dollars to support Qatar’s successful campaign. The AssociATed Press

The last time Dwyane Wade played in an NBA Finals game, he needed fluid drained from his left knee and eight hours of intense game-day therapy just to get into uniform.
It was worth it, after he scored 23 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and hoisted his third Larry O’Brien Trophy.
Now, unlike last year, Wade is not dealing with any injur-ies heading into the Miami’s finals rematch against the San Antonio Spurs. At 32 years old and with 866 NBA games al-ready on his playing odometer, Wade still deals with plenty of aches and pains, good days and bad days, and basically has a standing appointment in the Heat training room.
But compared to last sea-son’s NBA Finals, his knees are good as new.
“He’s a big-time, huge piece to our puzzle,” four-time NBA MVP and Heat star LeBron James said. “To have him out there in the groove that he’s in right now, it’s going to help us.”
This year, the Heat tried to leave nothing to chance with Wade’s health.
The so-called maintenance plan for Wade — limiting his minutes to save his knees —kicked in on the second night of the regular season. He wound up missing 28 games in all, mostly because of that rest-and-rehab scheme, to en-sure that he would be good to go in the playoffs.
Wade is shooting 56 per cent in fourth quarters during the playoffs, the best clip of his career and the best percentage of any guard with more than 30 shots in the final period of post-season games this season. The AssociATed Press
rested and ready. Wade’s bad knees conserved for NBA Finals action

Safety
Six standard air bags; standard front/rear disc/drum brakes with ABS and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist; standard traction control and stability control; standard anchors and tethers for child seats; available rear backup camera and monitor.
Points
• Very successful global car. Currently sold in 160 coun-tries — but not currently in the U.S.• Nissan Canada took three years to develop this exclusive-to-Canada ver-sion, based on European-market Micra.• Shares platform with larger Nissan Versa Note Hatchback.• No 6-speeds, CVTs, heated
seats or navigation avail-ability keeps prices down.
Market position
Very clear market pos-ition: least expensive new vehicle you can buy in Canada. Aimed at first-time buyers on a budget, urban dwellers who desire a car with a tidy footprint, and serious downsizers of every other demographic. Competition is other small hatchbacks — and used cars.
2015 Nissan Micra
• Type. Five-door, front-wheel drive subcompact hatchback
• Engines (hp). 1.6-litre inline four-cylinder (109)
• Transmissions. Five-speed manual, four-speed automatic
• Base price (incl. destination). $11,399
This subcompact hatchback isbased on a European model.

Nissan Micra: Small is a virtue
Small cars have a hard time in North America, the land of the Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast and the 7-Eleven Big Gulp: If we can finish it, you didn’t make it big enough.
But a new breed of small cars has been winning fans re-cently, due to their new-found features and hip styling, which were heretofore only available in larger, more expensive cars. But some of this nice stuff has pushed prices to where many small cars no longer wear small price tags.
Enter the 2015 Nissan Micra. At $9,998, it has the lowest base price of any new vehicle avail-able in Canada. (Destination and PDI charges are $1,400.)
Micra’s pricing advantage gets diminished once you move off that S base model with the 5-speed manual transmission. Add automatic transmission, air conditioning and cruise, and you’re looking at another $3,000 or so.
But pricing always stays low
and lovely on all three trim lev-els (S, SV and SR).
The main point is that Nis-san gives you a sub-$10,000 op-tion and others don’t.
Micra also turns out be to be a great little vehicle. I recently
took a very-white, top-level SR model out for a twirl, and was surprised by how much fun it was to drive.
The five-speed manual was smooth and quick to shift, and the 106-hp 1.6-litre engine was
torque-y and very agreeable to being revved.
Overall, it feels zippy, which is actually preferable to a car that might be more zippy, but doesn’t transmit that feeling to the driver.
It also handles well, due to the European-spec suspension, with an additional sway bar. The Canadian Micra is the only Micra in the world with both front and rear sway bars.
The rear accommodations are predictably tight for a car that stretches just 3.8 metres. But the upside is great agility, and more parking opportun-ities around town.
Its turning radius is also ri-diculously short. You can easily turn around in the middle of most side streets. Sometimes it’s good to be small.
You have to hand it to Nis-san for finding this low-cost gap in the market, and for wanting to exploit it to get more new customers into the Nissan fold — customers that traditionally might have gone to the used market. Nissan even has a spe-cial financing program, just for first-time buyers that choose Micra — no previous credit his-tory required.
Review. Short and purposeful, the Micra is a Napoleon Dynamite

The fi ve-speed manual is smooth and quick to shift, and feels zippy over all.

Camaro ZL1: Evil in the best way
Evil. Sinister. In short, irresistible. All imAges WheelbAse mediA
“I think we should just sell all our other cars and each get one of these.”
Garry likes “Big Red,” which is the name I’ve given to the spit-shined Camaro ZL1.
“It’s loud. Your neigh-bours will hate you.” (That’s OK, they already do.)
The ZL1 makes a ridicu-lous popping sound out the quad tailpipes when you let off the gas, kind of like one of those fancy racing boats idling around with the ex-haust drowned out by the water.
“ B l u b a l a - b l u b a l a -blubalaaaaa.”
Let’s get one thing straight about this Chevy. Subtle, it ain’t. Evil and sinis-ter looking, yes. Fun? There are few words to quantify that, but I’ll begin by saying, when it comes to handling, the ZL1 is a sensational car. Utterly sensational. It just does not lean at all while cornering.
Turn the wheel and the car turns without lunging over one of the front wheels. Amazing. Magnetic ride con-trol and front tires that are a foot wide can take most of the credit.
The transmission? Also amazing. The mouse fur (a suede of some sort) on the dash? Not so much. And who really cares if the nose is car-toonish and the seats have puckered corners. This thing is practically too good to be true.
It has 580 horsepower, which sounds impressive, although not as impressive as the 662 in the competing Ford Mustang GT 500, but it’s enough. Like, really, it’s just enough.
Out on the highway, the supercharged 6.2-litre V8 doesn’t pull all that hard. I felt the same way with the Cadillac CTS-V coupe, which has a similar engine.
Although both engines are variations of the V8 found in the 638-horsepower Corvette ZR-1, my seat-of-
Special delivery. If Stephen King and John Carpenter had a love child ...
Where’s the rest of it? Not mafia-friendly. At all. Good spot for gauges you never use. Needs curb feelers.
OK, can we chat?
Wow: Sound; steering; suspension; gear shifter; attitude; stance; love it or hate it, everyone looks; value; don’t want to get out of it.
• Hmmm: Forget winter; teeters on the edge of cartoon-y; what trunk?; most non-car people will hate you, and the rest will be jealous; big and heavy, yet not very roomy inside; visibility; black wheels on test car never clean, even after cleaning.
Quoted
“It’s loud. Your neighbours will hate you.”Garry Sowerby, automotive Guinness World Record holder
What test car is Garry bringing us this week? We really have no clue what he’ll show up in until it lands in our driveway. But who are we to doubt Garry Sowerby, who has a bazillion Guinness records for around-the-world driving? That’s a bazillion more than we have, after all.
Come along and find out as we drive ’em, dirty ’em and shoot ’em with our phone cams. These are real-life, no-glam reviews.JEff MElnYchukwww.wheelbasemedia.com
the-pants-o-meter thinks a 505-horsepower 2013 Cor-vette Z06 would kick the ZL1’s butt in a side-by-side dual at 80 miles per hour. That likely has to do with weight; the ZL1 is 1,000 pounds heavier. The Camaro is a bit of a couch potato, it seems.
But, it has a back seat. And a trunk, although it’s pretty small and the opening isn’t much bigger than the top of a cookie jar.
It also has the optional carbon-fibre hood insert. Lift up the hood and a duct hangs off the bottom. It ap-pears to help get air through the radiator to keep that lit-tle engine cool. That’s right, I said little.
When you lift the hood to see 580 horsepower, you ex-pect to see something huge, but it’s a bit unimpressive. It’s not puny — it’s just not physically large. It has to fit in the car, after all.
The ZL1 has its flaws, of course. The roof/trunk stripe is a massive dull-looking decal and the spot where the key goes into the col-umn is made of soft plastic and was all chewed up from repeated stabbings from pre-vious drivers. And the chin spoiler looks like the edge of a boardroom table.
I could care less. For 55-ish grand you’re not going to have much more fun in a car, or make as big a statement.
In the grand scheme of street driving, it doesn’t matter that the Ford GT 500 is faster and has more power than the ZL1. Both cars will never be used to their full potential on the street, which means that image is the primary reason for buy-ing in. In that respect, I don’t know if anything can beat the ZL1.
Yes, Garry, let’s sell our cars and each get one of these.

Shift: Electric vehicles get a charge out of new markets and great ratings, lightening up on fuel and on roads
BMW electric a ‘goer’ in two guises Not only is the electric i3 city car different from every other vehicle BMW has ever made, it is also the most efficient, with its U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rating of 117 miles per U.S. gallon-equivalent for the car on battery power alone, 39 mpg once run-ning on its twin-cylinder gasoline generator, and an electric range of 115 kilometres.
By comparison, observes auto enthusiast news website, Motor Authority, those electric numbers are slightly lower than the lighter, all-electric i3, which gets 124 MPGe and has an 130-kilometre range. The range-extended numbers are even higher than the leading range-extended car on the market, the Chevrolet Volt, which returns 98 MPGe and 37 mpg combined on its four-cylinder engine.
Tesla eyes Chinese productionCalifornia’s Tesla Motors says it will build cars in China within three to four years spe-cifically for that growing market, but not in lieu of building them in the United States. That’s in addition to current U.S. production, says CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla plans to spend “hundreds of millions of dollars” building a plant and installing a “big” network of battery charging stations in China, reports Bloomberg News Service. While a location wasn’t announced, Musk said local production in that country would allow Tesla to sell cars at cheaper prices there by avoiding China’s 25 per cent import tariff on vehicles built outside its borders.

Horoscopes
Aries March 21 - April 20 Material matters may be taking up a great deal of your time but don’t focus on them to the exclusion of everything else. Balance your pursuit of success with something of a more spiritual nature.
Taurus April 21 - May 21 Current influences make you intensely ambitious but don’t forget you have limits like everyone else. Make sure you know what they are.
Gemini May 22 - June 21 Keep what you know to yourself today, especially if the knowledge you have been given could be dangerous to people in positions of power. There is a time to rock the boat but that time is not yet.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 You won’t have to try too hard to make an impression today. Colleagues know what you are capable of but even people in positions of power are beginning to see there is something special about you.
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 You need to raise your sights and pursue interests that are worthy of your time and your energy. What they may be should be a little clearer after today.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You are determined to do something different, but you need to get started now. Come the weekend, Mercury turns retrograde, and all sorts of obstacles will be placed in your way.
Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 It will pay you to be a little less independent over the next few days. Just because you don’t like certain people does not mean you can’t work with them.
Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You seem to be under quite a bit of pressure at the moment and that pressure will build over the next few days. Make life easier by taking nothing too seriously, least of all yourself.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You may have certain duties to fulfill but that does not mean you have to do everything others expect of you. Make sure everyone knows that you answer to only yourself!
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You will have to make sacrifices today but the effort will be worth it. Not only do you have enough energy and enthusiasm to get things done for yourself but you will gladly help others as well.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 It may seem that the odds are stacked against you but that is an illusion brought about by too narrow a focus. Expand your horizons and embrace the world.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Do what you have to do as quickly as possible, then devote yourself to activities that bring a smile to your face. Life should be about fun, not work. SALLY BROMPTON
