Cops take a bite out of old crime thanks to DNA on dentures

Perhaps this thief should have nabbed some Poligrip.

A woman is facing a rob-bery charge after DNA found on the false teeth police allege she dropped during the crime outed her as the suspect in a convenience store robbery dating back seven years.

“It’s a bit of a unique one,” said Winnipeg police spokes-person Const. Jason Micha-

lyshen Thursday after the woman’s arrest Wednesday. “I’m not aware of (another) scenario like this.

“But keep in mind that when officers attend crime scenes, these are the types of things we are looking for — we’re looking for evidence, anything that may have been left behind.”

Police allege the suspect — whose name was not released — entered a convenience store in the 800 block of Arlington Street at around 1:50 a.m. on Oct. 15, 2007, brandishing a knife and demanding cash.

While fleeing the scene with an undisclosed sum, the suspect dropped her partial plate of false teeth and — pos-sibly assuming she could get

new, nicer teeth with her rob-bery haul — left them behind.

Police obtained the teeth during their investigation and used them to test for DNA.

The info remained on ice until the suspect was recent-ly convicted of an unrelated crime and had to give a DNA sample.

“We had a hit … investiga-tors were notified and obvious-ly the investigation progressed pretty quickly from there,” ex-plained Michalyshen. “Despite the fact that several years had passed with no arrests made, it doesn’t mean that the inves-tigation is closed.

“Our goal is to complete in-vestigations and hold people accountable.”JOHN TOWNS AND SHANE GIBSON/METRO

Public Utilities Board

Natural-gas rate hike gets approvalNatural-gas rates are on the rise again in Manitoba.

The Public Utilities Board has approved an increase of 6.4 per cent, or about $50 a year, for the average home-owner.

The rate hike is to take effect Feb. 1,and follows a 1.4 per cent increase last November.

Natural-gas prices have

Cause of brown water to be revealed in FebruaryThe city has finally nailed down the cause of Winnipeg’s brown-water problem, which

saw discoloured H2O pouring from the taps of 3,500 to 4,000 homes last summer, but it will be keeping mum on the cause until a public works commit-tee meeting on Feb. 4. Mayor

Sam Katz told CJOB radio Thursday that city admin will prepare a seminar and report for council on the cause of the problem. METRO

Golden Scissors

Minister an award fi nalist for fi ght against red tapeManitoba’s deputy minister of infrastructure and transporta-tion is a finalist in the running

for an award from the Can-adian Federation of Independ-ent Business recognizing “red-tape warriors” across the country.

Doug McNeil has been named as part of a group of deputy transportation minis-ters from Alberta, Saskatch-ewan and B.C. to the short-list of a dozen finalists the CFIB’s third annual Golden Scissors Award, which recognizes people who have made an impact in cutting red tape for small businesses. METRO

A Winnipeg councillor is mov-ing for a system similar to the city’s controversial red-light cameras to be installed at crosswalks in an effort to make them safer for pedestrians.

Coun. Ross Eadie (Mynar-ski) says he’s heard a number of complaints from residents in his ward about drivers not obeying the rules of crosswalks and pedestrians at risk.

“Cars are supposed to stay stopped until the pedestrian gets to the other side of the curb. Sometimes, when they pull ahead before that, it can lead to other drivers following suit, even if the lane in front of them isn’t safely cleared yet,” noted Eadie, who says he’s had issues with cars blowing through pedestrian crossings when he’s been using them on at least three occasions.

Eadie, who is blind, says that if he’d taken one more step, he

would have been hit.“It can be dangerous out

there if drivers aren’t taking the proper caution,” he said.

The system Eadie envisions would be something like red-light cameras, and it would activate after a pedestrian push-es the button and a couple of seconds have gone by for cars to clear the crosswalk. Tickets would be issued to the owners

of vehicles that violate the crosswalk space.

Eadie will be heading before the Police Board on Friday in support of his motion to have the board direct the Winnipeg Police Service to further inves-tigate the technology and costs

behind implementing a pedes-trian-crossing camera system.

“The technology does exist and has been utilized in at least one other city,” Eadie noted, referencing a similar system in Washington, D.C., which tick-ets violators $250 when they

disobey the rules at a crosswalk. Eadie stresses that the cam-

eras would not be about gen-erating revenue for the city; they are designed to make the safety of pedestrians a priority by punishing drivers who break the law.

Crosswalk cameras urged

Coun. Ross Eadie wants to make standalone crosswalks safer for pedestrians by installing devices similar to red-light cameras to catch drivers who don’t stop for people crossing the street. JOHN TOWNS/FOR METRO

Not a cash grab. Coun. Ross Eadie says it’s about making pedestrian corridors safer

Pedestrians

Eadie notes that part of the problem with standalone crosswalks also lies with how some pedestrians use them.

• Pedestrians, he says, should take care to make sure they’re using cross-walks properly – press-ing the button and then waiting for the crosswalk to clear and vehicles to stop completely before proceeding.

• Cyclists, Eadie notes, should also be abiding by the rules and dismounting their bikes if they want to use a pedestrian cross-walk.

A handful of the Canadian musicians who will take on a team of former NHL players for the annual Juno Cup fundraising game com-ing up during Juno Week in Winnipeg took to the ice Thursday to get ready for their big match up.

“It raises money for MusiCounts, which is a charity that helps raise money for music programs in schools,” explained the musician’s team captain and Blue Rodeo front man, Jim Cuddy.

“The fact that music programs are under siege is very disappointing … kids need to have an outlet that’s not just standard arts and sciences.”

Cuddy was joined on the ice by his son Devin of The Devin Cuddy Band, JP Hoe, Stephen Carroll of The Weakerthans and Vince Fontaine of Eagle & Hawk and Indian City.

Former NHLers Mike Keane, Perry Miller, Thomas Steen, Trevor Kidd, Carey Wilson and Mike Ford were also on hand at the training camp and photo-op to put the musicians through their paces.

Hometown favourite and former Manitoba Moose captain Keane admitted the professionals took it pretty easy on the musicians dur-

ing the scrimmage.“Very easy, out of pure

respect,” he said. “Obviously I’m a big fan,

so if the puck goes into the corner, Jim Cuddy will come out with the puck, which is hard for me to say.”

The Juno Cup goes March 28 at the MTS Iceplex, and tickets for the game are $24.

Juno Week runs March 24-30 in Winnipeg.

Health. Hospital operating rooms could be shut for weeks: WRHA chiefThe president and chief medical officer of the Winnipeg Region-al Health Authority says it may take weeks to sort out the situa-tion caused by flooding in 14 operating rooms at St. Boniface Hospital, but wants to assure Winnipeggers the WRHA has things “very much under con-trol.”

Dr. Brock Wright says that a fault in circulation pumps at the hospital’s air handling sys-

tem caused water to freeze and crack some of the coils used for temperature regulation, leading to a leak that forced surgical operations at St. Boniface to shut down for the time being.

The WRHA, says Wright, has cancelled a number of elective surgeries and is shifting proced-ures to the Grace Hospital and Health Sciences Centre to cope with the loss of the 14 operating rooms at St. Boniface.

“We appreciate the impact cancelling these surgeries has on patients and their families,” he said during a press confer-ence Thursday afternoon. “We’ll be working very hard once the situation improves to re-book those procedures as soon as pos-sible.”

As of Thursday afternoon at least 141 elective surgeries had been cancelled and will be rescheduled, while three emergency surgeries have been re-directed from St. Boniface to other facilities. JoHN ToWNs/FoR MeTRo

Grisly find

Cops investigating dead rabbitsPolice are investigating a report that someone killed a number of rabbits and posed them alongside a busy road in Winnipeg.

Jason Hawkins says he spotted the bloody and mutilated carcasses and im-mediately called police.

Dine-and-dasher discovered done-inAuthorities are investigat-ing the death of a gas-tronomic freeloader as a possible murder. Two days after the father of Titus Clarysse found him dead in his apartment, investigators

Going down? Diners bored while waiting on Ford, who was stuck between � oors Toronto Mayor Rob Ford ar-rived more than an hour late for a lunch-hour speech to the Economic Club of Canada to-day, saying he had been stuck in an elevator for 45 minutes.

The president and CEO of the club said she was trapped in the same elevator with Ford. Rhiannon Traill said the group took a freight elevator to “avoid all the traffic” in the lobby.

Ford was “so calm and gra-

cious” during the ordeal, Traill said, noting they discussed his speech and his campaign for re-election.

“Unfortunately, we were stuck in between floors so they couldn’t get us out for a while,” she said.

Several members of the business crowd left before Ford’s arrival, with one saying he had too much work to do and couldn’t wait any longer.THE CANADIAN PRESS

This police booking mug shot shows Canadian pop star Justin Bieber on Thursday. MIAMI-DADE COUNTY JAIL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Justin Bieber arrested in Miami, charged with DUI

When he debuted five years ago, Justin Bieber was a mop-haired heartthrob, clean cut and charming. But a series of troubling incidents have put his innocent image at risk, and none more so than his arrest on DUI charges Thursday.

Police say they arrested a bleary-eyed Bieber — smelling of alcohol — after officers saw him drag-racing before dawn on a residential street, his yel-low Lamborghini travelling at nearly twice the speed limit.

The 19-year-old singer later

admitted smoking marijuana, drinking and taking a prescrip-tion medication, police say. Unlike previous dustups, this arrest has him facing potential jail time.

Bieber was charged with DUI, driving with an expired li-cence and resisting arrest with-out violence. His Miami-Dade County jail mug shot showed the singer smiling in a bright red inmate jumpsuit, his hair still stylishly coiffed.

Bieber made his initial court appearance via a video link from jail. Bieber’s bond was set at $2,500.

Bieber left jail about an hour after his court appearance, pop-ping through a window of his black SUV in a black hoodie and sunglasses to wave to crowds of reporters and young girls wait-ing to see him. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alberta. Supreme Court won’t hear appeal of man who hoped to save rabbitsThe Supreme Court of Canada won’t hear an appeal from a na-ture lover who tried to save the rabbits of Canmore, Alta., from a deadly cull.

The town decided several years ago to trap and kill its feral rabbits, which it said were

devouring local gardens and at-tracting coyotes and cougars.

Daniel Onischuk, an Edmon-ton photographer, objected and went to court for an injunction, arguing trapping, sterilizing and relocating the rabbits was a better option. THE CANADIAN PRESSFeds push new Jobs Grant package

The federal government has offered the provinces and ter-ritories a new Canada Jobs Grant package as part of a “sensitive” third round of negotiations over the contro-versial proposal, says Employ-ment Minister Jason Kenney.

The original proposal, which came shortly after the last federal budget was intro-duced, was less than perfect, Kenney acknowledged Thurs-day as he described a new of-

fer that offers additional “flex-ibilities” to the provinces.

“I’m not suggesting the in-itial model that we proposed was ideal; to the contrary,” the minister said in a speech to the Toronto Region Board of Trade.

At the same time, however, he expressed frustration with the fact other levels of govern-ment have been balking at something that he considers to be a common sense plan.

“It’s so blindingly sensible, I don’t understand why it’s not widely accepted.”

The main idea behind the job grant scheme remains intact as the talks enter the latest phase, Kenney said: giving those who create jobs more say over how tax dol-lars are spent on training pro-grams.

The Canada Jobs Grant model, first proposed by the Harper government in last

year’s federal budget, was sup-posed to be in place by April, but several provinces objected because it would have meant an overall cut to federal fund-ing for job training.

Ontario Training Minister Brad Duguid said earlier this week that he remains opposed to the fact that Ottawa intends to finance its share of the pro-gram by reducing transfer pay-ments to the provinces.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Economic sanctions

• Iran has huge riches at its disposal, particularly oil and gas, the work-force is skilled and the country has untapped potential for tourism.

• But the country has largely been cut off from international business since the Iranian Revolu-tion in 1979.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani listens to welcome remarks during a session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Thursday.Michel euler/the associated press

Iranian president gets spotlight at Davos forumIn a charm offensive to the global political and business elite, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani set lofty ambitions for his country, including becom-ing one of the world’s top 10 economies.

The first Iranian leader in a decade to visit the World Eco-nomic Forum, Rouhani took top billing Thursday, drawing crowds to hear a speech in which he promised greater en-gagement with the world.

Touting potential invest-ment opportunities of the

oil-rich land to the business tycoons in the audience, Rou-hani said his country could, with the gradual easing of sanctions, enjoy an economic boom.

And Tehran, he said, is com-mitted to honouring a deal to curb its nuclear program in the hope that will lead to a perma-nent lifting of economic sanc-tions, which have battered the Iranian economy over recent years.

“I see the status of Iran pursuing policies of modera-

tion, prudence and hope in the future global economy,” said Rouhani. “Iran’s economy has so far the potential to be among the world’s top 10 in the next three decades.”

For 2012, the International Monetary Fund judged Iran to be the 21st biggest economy in the world in terms of annual economic income, or nominal gross domestic product. To get into the top 10 it would have to leapfrog the likes of Switzer-land, Turkey and Spain.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A top opposition leader on Thursday urged protesters to maintain a shaky ceasefire with police after at least two demon-strators were killed in clashes this week, but some in the crowd appeared defiant, jeer-ing and chanting “revolution” and “shame.”

Emerging from hours-long talks with President Viktor Yanukovych, opposition leader Oleh Tyahnybok asked dem-onstrators in Kyiv for several more days of a truce, saying

the president has agreed to ensure the release of dozens of detained protesters and stop further detentions.

But other opposition lead-ers offered mixed reports on the outcome of the meeting, with opposition leader Vitali Klitschko saying negotiations had brought little result.

He and Tyahnybok were booed at the barricades by angry demonstrators and the atmosphere appeared tense.

Interior Minister Vitaliy Zakharchenko issued a state-ment guaranteeing that police would not take action against the protest camp on Independ-ence Square, known as the Mai-dan. He also called on police to exercise calm and not react to provocations. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rejecting Russian aid The protests began after Yanukovych turned away from closer ties with the European Union in favour of getting a bailout loan from Russia.

Fatal blaze ravages seniors’ home in Quebec town

Investigators and firefighters look over the rubble where fire destroyed a seniors’ residence in L’Isle-Verte, Que., Thursday. Ryan RemioRz/the canadian pRess

Just six months after Can-adians were rocked by the Lac-Mégantic tragedy, an-other Quebec town found itself waiting to learn how many people it had lost after fire ripped through a seniors’ residence Thursday.

And just like in Lac-Mé-gantic, the destruction struck shortly after midnight.

The unsuspecting com-munity this time was L’Isle-Verte, a town of only 1,500 people in Quebec’s Lower St. Lawrence.

Provincial police have con-firmed that five people are

dead and another 30 are mis-sing.

Parts of the Résidence du Havre had sprinklers, while others didn’t. The local fire chief said sprinklers did go off, triggering the fire alarm and allowing firefighters to gain access to about one-third of the building.

Thursday’s blaze erupted in the old part of the three-storey building, which a Que-bec Health Department docu-ment from last July states was constructed of wood. The document also says the building had a fire alarm and that each room was equipped with a smoke detector.

Many of the residents were over 85 and all but a handful had limited movement, being confined to wheelchairs and walkers. At least three people were injured, although the extent of their injuries was unclear. The Canadian Press

Indian woman says village council ordered gang rapeA 20-year-old Indian woman said she was gang-raped on the orders of a village council because she fell in love with a man from a different ethnic group, police said Thursday.

Twelve suspects and the head of the council have been arrested for the Monday night attack, police said. The woman told police that she lost count of how many men raped her. She was hospitalized Thursday in serious condition.

Television footage showed the woman, her face covered by scarves, being led into a hospi-tal with an IV tube in her arm.

TV news reports said the woman is a member of an eth-nic tribal group and the man is a Muslim from a neighbour-ing village. The man visited the woman’s village, Subalpur, on Monday to propose marriage, but was caught by other villa-gers, and the man and woman were tied to a tree while the vil-lage council decided their fate, the reports said.

Police official C. Sudhakar said the village council or-dered the man and woman to each pay a fine of 25,000 ru-pees ($400). The man’s family was able to pay, but when the woman’s family said they were too poor, the council ordered

the gang rape, police said.A rash of high-profile rapes

in India over the past year has sparked widespread outrage over chronic sexual violence and government failures to pro-tect women. The West Bengal case is particularly troubling because it was allegedly or-dered by a council made up of village elders. Such councils are not legally binding in India, but they are seen as the will of the local community. The councils decide on social norms in the village, and in some cases they

dictate the way women can dress or who they can marry. Those who flout the councils risk being ostracized.

Subalpur is about 180 kilo-metres north of Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal.

Annie Raja, general secre-tary of the National Federation of Indian Women, said that such local councils destroy women’s rights.

“They are dead set against giving basic human rights to women,” she said. The assocIaTed press

‘Unconstitutional’

Virginia AG will no longer defend gay marriage banVirginia’s attorney general has concluded that the state’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional and he will no longer defend it in federal lawsuits challenging it, his office said Thursday.

In an email to The Asso-ciated Press, Michael Kelly, a spokesman for Attorney General Mark Herring, said the state will instead side with the plaintiffs who are seeking to have the ban struck down.

Herring planned to file a brief Thursday morning with the federal court in Norfolk, where one of the lawsuits is being heard, notifying the court of the state’s change in position in the case, Kelly said.

The attorney general decided the ban was uncon-stitutional after a thorough legal review of the matter, Kelly said.

Virginia has emerged as a critical state in the nation-wide fight for gay marriage. The assocIaTed press

MP says comment at Western Wall was ‘a joke’Toronto-area MP Mark Adler says he was just joking when he made a crass comment as Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Adler, situated behind barricades at the sacred site earlier this week, pleaded with one of Harper’s aides to let him into the main event.

“It’s the re-election! This is the million-dollar shot!” Adler said.

The MP for York Centre scoffed at reporters on Wednesday when he was asked about the comments in Tel Aviv, where Harper was bestowed with an honorary doctorate from Tel Aviv University.

“You guys don’t get a joke, huh? It was all said tongue-in-cheek,” Adler said.

The Prime Minister’s Office denied Adler was in the doghouse for his remark. The canadIan press

No sign of stopping

Opportunity rover logs 39 km since landing The rover Opportunity may not be sleek like a brand new car, but it shows no signs of braking even after a decade on Mars.

Scientists and engineers gathered at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Thursday to celebrate the plucky rover, which has logged 39 kilometres since landing.

Opportunity has been exploring the rim of Endeavour Crater, its fifth crater destination. A new study of rocks examined by Opportunity and published in the journal Science found they’re the oldest yet: about 4 billion years of age. The rocks interacted with water during a time when environmental con-ditions were favourable for microbes.

Opportunity outlasted its twin Spirit, which stopped communicating in 2010 after getting stuck in sand. The assocIaTed press

Cairo. Held Egyptian-Canadian journalist may go on trial, family saysAn Egyptian-Canadian jour-nalist being held in a notori-ous Cairo prison is no longer being investigated for links to a terrorist group but could nonetheless be put on trial, his family said Thursday.

After nearly a month behind bars without being charged, Mohamed Fahmy continues to be interrogated on suspicion of using illegal equipment, broadcasting false news and is even facing allegations of transmitting false information to CNN, his

former employer.“This is totally insane,”

Fahmy’s brother Sherif said in a phone interview. “Pass-ing false information is insan-ity and passing false informa-tion to his previous employer is more insanity, so we don’t know what is going on.”

Fahmy was working for Al-Jazeera English when he and two co-workers were arrested Dec. 29. The conditions of his detention, in a cramped, cold, insect-ridden cell, have been troubling. THE CAnADIAn PRESS

CAR leader sworn in amid looting, death threats

Interim President Catherine Samba-Panza urged fighters to put down their arms as she took the oath of office Thurs-day, even as looters pillaged Muslim neighbourhoods and sectarian tensions escalated in the anarchic Central African Republic.

Samba-Panza, the nation’s first female leader, was sworn in at a ceremony days after being chosen by a national transitional council. The rebel leader behind the March 2013 coup stepped aside nearly two weeks ago under mounting international criticism of his inability to control his fighters

and stem the violence.In her inaugural address,

Samba-Panza urged both Mus-lim fighters and Christian militiamen to support peace. “I strongly call on the fighters to show patriotism in putting down their weapons,” she said. “The ongoing disorder … will no longer be tolerated.”

UN officials have warned that the crisis is at high risk of escalating into a genocide in the country with a history of coups and dictatorship.

Christian Bernis Latakpi, 24, a university student, said he hoped that Samba-Panza, would bring much-needed reconciliation after months of bloodshed. “Since independ-ence, men have always run the country and they have failed at the job,” he said. “We’re looking to her to quickly bring security and to reunite our Muslim and Christian brothers. Because the Muslim Central Af-ricans — they were born here, grew up here and we can’t dis-own them.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Goodfellas, the sequel: Mobster arrested

An elderly reputed mobster was arrested at his New York City home on Thursday and charged with a 1969 murder

and the $6-million US 1978 airport robbery dramatized in the Martin Scorsese movie Goodfellas.

Vincent Asaro, 78, was named along with his son and three other defendants in wide-ranging indictment alleging murder, robbery, extortion, arson and other crimes from the late 1960s through last year. It accused Asaro of helping to direct

the Dec. 11, 1978, Lufthansa airlines heist at Kennedy air-port — one of the largest cash thefts in American history.

Asaro and his son Jerome, both alleged captains in the Bonanno organized crime family, also were charged in a 1984 robbery of $1.25-million US worth of gold salts from a Federal Express employee.

In addition to the heist, the elder Asaro was charged

in the 1969 murder of Paul Katz, whose remains were found last year during an FBI dig at a house once occupied by James “Jimmy the Gent” Burke. Burke, a late Luc-chese crime family associate, planned the Lufthansa heist.

Burke inspired Robert De Niro’s character in Good-fellas, which was based on Nicholas Pileggi’s book Wise-guy. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Actress and animal rights activist Pamela Anderson is asking Israel’s prime minister to endorse a bill banning the sale of clothes made of ani-mal fur.

Fresh off a honeymoon in Israel, Anderson sent a let-ter to Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday urging him to support the legislation. If passed, it would make Is-rael the first country in the world to impose a national fur clothing ban.

More than 40 lawmakers have endorsed the bill, pro-

moted by the Israel-based International Anti-Fur Co-alition.

Netanyahu previously has expressed views sym-pathetic with the animal rights movement.

In her letter, Anderson said the way animals “suf-fer and die for fur violates Jewish principles.”

She added that by pass-ing the bill, “Israel would set an example of com-passion for the rest of the world to follow.”

Last bike factory in U.S. closes Dorel is closing the bicycle industry’s last assembly operations in the United States and shifting the work from Pennsylvania to third-party suppliers in Asia.

The Montreal-based company said the change, which will affect about 100 employees, is part of a restructuring at its recrea-tional and leisure division to be completed this year that will “enhance its com-petitiveness.”

“We were the only bi-cycle factory left in Amer-ica and you just can’t be

as competitive as the Far East,” chief financial officer Jeffrey Schwartz said in an interview Thursday.

Dorel’s plant in Bedford, about 170 kilometres east of Pittsburgh, took a ma-jor hit about four years ago when most assembly work was transferred to Taiwan and mainland China, affect-ing hundreds of jobs.

What remained at the Cannondale plant was the partial assembly of just a few bike models. Parts were shipped to Asia where they were partially assembled

and sent back for final as-sembly. The steps added transportation costs and de-layed getting bikes to mar-ket.

Schwartz said eliminat-ing those extra steps will save more than $6 million US by 2015, after incurring $14-$16 million US before taxes in restructuring char-ges, about 70 per cent of them non-cash.

“Maybe it should have been done three years ago but it really wasn’t identi-fied properly until now,” he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Passwords are a nightmare to remember, but even so, we are incredibly bad at them. Research from password man-agement company SplashData has discovered the majority of people undermine their secur-ity with easily guessed codes, and company CEO Morgan Slain highlights these failures.

Are we changing our hab-its at all?

The main trends are that short numerical passwords are continuing to show up, even though more sites are requiring stronger alphanum-eric passwords. Passwords like “adobe123” and “photoshop” showing up from the Adobe security breach last year high-light the risks of basing a pass-

word on the app or website you are logging into.

Everything needs a pass-word these days, but how are we to remember them all?

The simplest answer here really is to use a password manager like SplashID Safe. Otherwise, it’s difficult or im-possible to remember dozens of unique, strong passwords. One way to create more se-cure passwords that are easy to recall is to start using pass-phrases, short words with spaces or other characters separating them. It’s best to use random words rather than common phrases. For ex-ample, “cakes years birthday” or “smiles_light_skip?”

Is your go-to password 123456?Then it’s time to up your game. Research shows most online passwords are too easy

Stop doing this!

SplashData found 9.8% of users have the passwords 123456 or 12345678.

TV icons star in ancient artworkAn artist has transported superheroes into a world of sacred myths, by drawing them in hieroglyphics. In his series Hero-glyphics, Josh Lane blends our favourite TV and comic-book characters — from Star Trek and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to X-Men (not pictured) — with the ancient Egyptian art form. metro

hero-glyphics are a marvel to behold

Firmly settled into the new year, with the brisk winter upon us, we watch our resolutions crum-bling by the hour. There remains a buzz, no longer of holiday cheer or annoying relatives, but of social media exploding with up-to-the minute news that matters most. Here are some of the items trending highest in this week’s Twittersphere.

1 the puppy that lost its way. This week’s top hashtags were #JustinBieber and #DUI.

People forget that this is just a normal 19-year-old boy, experimenting with drugs, sex and cars. Is it his fault he just happens to have access to the very finest of all three? But he’ll be OK, be-cause just like an adorable little puppy, he can poop right on your shoes, and look at you inno-cently, as if to say, “Wanna rub my belly?”#WeWillAlwaysSupportYouJustin.

2 Dennis rodman. The surest way for a celebrity (and I use the term loosely here) to trend high is to check into rehab. But

this former NBA bad boy was already under fire for his relation-ship with Kim Jong-un, and compounded it by going nuts in a

satellite interview (from North Korea) with CNN anchor Chris Cuomo. Nothing gets folks a-tweetin’ like a rant so incoherent, it’s in-comprehensible to two cultures simultaneous-ly. What’s the Korean word for “huh?”

3 hilton-grooven. Her audacious claim that she was “one of the top 5 DJs in the world” ignit-

ed online controversy until Paris Hilton ex-plained that she was merely one of the top five “HIGHEST PAID DJs...” What followed was a global DJ community left in a silent state of mel-ancholy introspection.

4 really, rob? Toronto’s mayor revived his dwindling buzz with footage of yet another

drunken jabberfest earlier this week. Reporters were unable to focus on budget-related ques-

tions after seeing him rant in faux-Patois at the Steak Queen res-taurant. So much for getting “enough to eat at home.”

5 Greatest game ever, dude. The Super Bowl always ranks high in online chatter, but this year features Seattle versus Den-

ver, and takes place in New Jersey, where constituents just re-elected Gov. Chris Christie. So it’s hard to gauge whether trend-

ing is due to the NFL’s huge fan base, or the fact that everyone is stoned. One thing’s for sure: Announcers will have to speak very slowly.

6 tennis, anyone? Eugenie Bouchard became the first Can-adian to advance this far in the Australian Open, but appar-

ently that’s not as interesting as her crush on Justin Bieber, ac-cording to the latest Twitter trend #GenieArmy.

7 In the wrong business. Not on the list just yet, but on the topic of trends, iconic Canadian men’s fashion chain Harry

Rosen celebrates its 60th anniversary this coming month. I take a moment to reflect back on the memory of all of the con-temporary brand-name fashions I was never able to afford, and still can’t.

8 time well spent. This week’s highest-ranking online subject went to Oxfam’s report that the world’s 85 richest people

have as much wealth as half of Earth’s population. What they don’t tell you is that it’s because the bottom half spends the majority of their time tweeting and posting selfies on Instagram. The other 85 are shopping at Harry Rosen as we speak.

What was the inspiration for the superheroes?

I tend to read very fast, which is usually a curse, but one time I read the word “hieroglyphics” as “hero-glyphics.” Immediately I started daydreaming about the possible hero scenarios and combinations.

In a world where the

Egyptian gods could fight Marvel superheroes, who would win? Osiris and Anubis, or the X-Men?The X-Men for sure, because they are a team. I could see the Egyptian gods fighting each other for power, leav-ing an opportunity for the X-Men to strike.

Aaron Eckhart in a scene from I, Frankenstein. Metro’s movies editor digs Eckhart’s physique, but the Reel Guys say there’s more to him than abs and cleft. CONTRIBUTED

Richard: Mark, Aaron Eckhart isn’t exactly a household name, but he has appeared in some very big movies. He’s the only live-action actor in the Batman films to play both Harvey Dent and his villainous alter-ego Two-Face. The Dark Knight is by far and away his biggest hit, followed by his star-making turn in Erin Brockovich. But despite those box office busters we don’t talk about the hand-some actor in the same breath as A-listers like Cruise, DiCaprio or Smith. He has the above-mentioned abs and is versatile enough to star in everything from video game action mov-ies like Battle: Los Angeles to

hardcore dramas like Rabbit Hole and yet doesn’t get the same recognition as many of his peers. What’s your take on him?

Mark: You mean the cleft that walked like a man? I could probably fit my grad thesis in there! Eckhart exploded onto my radar with two films he did in the late ’90s, both by the cynical playwright Neil LaBute: In the Company of Men, and Your Friends & Neighbors. In both films he plays despicable, almost un-watchably misogyn-istic men. The key word here is almost. As rotten as he behaves in these movies, there’s an in-choate grace under the surface that redeems the characters, and it’s a testimony to his act-ing skills that he can keep us watching. And that cleft.

RC: Some like the cleft, some the abs. I like his versatility. In

a year span between 2010 and ’11 he released three very dif-ferent movies. In Rabbit Hole, he and Nicole Kidman were a couple trying to deal with the death of their four-year-old son. They are at different stages of their grief, but they share a couple of things: a ter-rible sense of loss and an in-ability to know how to deal with it. Terrific stuff. Next was the alien invader movie Battle: Los Angeles followed by The Rum Diaries where he played a slick PR person. Three different movies and three very different performances. Maybe we have a hard time defining him be-cause he constantly does wild career flip-flops.

MB: Or because there’s an opa-city to him that allows him to play so many compromised characters, allowing us to pro-ject our feelings onto him. Look at one of his finest roles, as the

tobacco lobbyist in Thank You for Smoking. He’s so slick, so shifty, we don’t judge him, pre-cisely because we don’t really know him. A quality that’s great for an actor, but less so for a movie star. I really liked him in Rabbit Hole and Rum Diar-ies, too, but his mainstream work doesn’t register with me as much. Except for his cleft.

RC: He’s made a number of movies I wouldn’t recommend for the big screen but work well enough as rentals. Two ac-tion films, Erased and Suspect Zero, are very VOD friendly and feature many cleft hero shots.

MB: Or two romantic comed-ies that would have been dis-astrous without him: No Res-ervations and Love Happens. He doesn’t do nude scenes in them, though, because in close-up you couldn’t tell if it were his backside or his cleft.

Why we love Aaron EckhartA-lister. He’s got the acting chops ... and that cleft. So why isn’t he a household name?

Synopsis

I, Frankenstein, Aaron Eckhart’s martial arts update of the famous Mary Shelley story, wasn’t screened for the press in time to meet our deadline, so after a long con-versation with our editor the Reel Guys have decided to do a column on Eckhart’s oeuvre. At least that’s how we see it.

The Academy Awards nominee for best film editing John Mac McMurphy (Dallas Buyers Club) is rumoured to actuallybe a pseudonym for the film’s director, Jean-Marc Vallée the canadian press

It really is about who’s who in Hollywood

It’s well-established that Alan Smithee has been the go-to pseudonym for film directors wishing to disown stinkers they’d rather not be associated with.

But fake credits abound among beloved movies too, a phenomenon in which filmmakers willingly give up credit out of modesty, politics or just plain mis-chief.

It’s all well and good until awards season rolls around, when venerable institutions including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are put in the strange position of an-nouncing nominations for contenders who may not even exist.

Skeptics suspect that

may be the case with this year’s best film editing cat-egory, which includes a nod for someone named John Mac McMurphy for Dallas Buyers Club.

Within hours of the nomination, speculation ran rampant online that McMurphy was actually Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallée, although McMurphy’s co-nominee, Montrealer Martin Pensa, would reveal nothing about his partner’s identity.

One story said the Acad-emy had confirmed McMur-phy was actually a pseudo-nym for Quebec’s Vallée, but Oscar officials could not verify that report.

One Academy publicist said nominees are based on film credits submitted by the studio and “it is im-material whether the name is a pseudonym or not.”

“Often we aren’t aware of the use of a pseudonym until years later,” the pub-licist, who requested ano-nymity, said in an email.

If Vallée did submit a

pseudonym to the Acad-emy Awards, he certainly wouldn’t be the first to do so.

Joel and Ethan Coen earned an Oscar nomina-tion for best editing for No Country for Old Men under the moniker Roderick Jaynes. At the time, it was the second nod for Jaynes, who also drew attention for editing Fargo.

And Donald Kaufman,

the fictional alter-ego of screenwriter Charlie Kauf-man, shared a writing cred-it with the real Kaufman on 2002’s Adaptation and was subsequently nominated for a best adapted screen-play trophy.

It was generally known at the time that there was

no such person as Donald Kaufman, said the Academy publicist, noting the refer-ence was a tongue-in-cheek nod to the film’s plot about a neurotic screenwriter named Charlie Kaufman and his cocky twin brother Donald.

In cases where a nominee used a pseudonym and won,

records show that the film-maker showed up to accept the award. These include writer Hans Székely (who used the name John S. Toldy) in 1940 and blacklisted scribe Nedrick Young (who used the name Nathan E. Douglas) in 1958. The Canadian Press

Pseudonym valley. Filmmaking tradition of fake credits can get a little tricky come awards season

What’s in a name?

In the 1950s, pseudonyms were commonly used in Hollywood to hide the names of suspected communists during the McCarthy era, such as writer Nedrick Young who couldn’t work under his own name.

• Ofcourse,manyactorshave taken new names to boost their star appeal or hide their ethnicity.

It wasn’t the wind and snow that Thomas Haden Church found “punishing” when shoot-ing the new psychological thriller Whitewash in northern Quebec, but the lack of it.

“You know how it goes,” he says. “You shoot one day and it’s the perfect conditions and two days later it’s 50 degrees (10 degrees Celsius) and you have to figure out a way to make it match. We had bliz-zards and we had giant fans with cornstarch.

there was a storm blowing in but as God would have it three hours later there’s not a flake of snow floating through the air so they pull out the eight-foot fans and crank up the Corvette engines that drive them and start hucking cornstarch at me.

“It is still cold as all get out, and with those fans blowing sometimes you wish the bliz-zard would come back and they’d turn the fans off. Those fans will fling stuff at you at 60 miles (90 kilometres) an hour. Those things are punishing to stand in front of.”

The cornstarch plays a cru-cial role in the film’s opening and defining scene. During a whiteout snowstorm — en-hanced with the white, fluffy thickener for extra effect — Church’s character Bruce takes a wild, drunken ride on a bull-dozer that leaves a man dead.

Unnerved, he hides the body in a snow bank and lams it to the deep woods to avoid police and clear his head.

“When I read it a buddy of mine who works with me said, ‘You know, sometimes you read ’em and you know what you know. You gotta go.’ I knew as soon as I read Whitewash I had to go. The challenges, the char-

acter, the uniqueness of the set-ting, the emotional complexity of what he goes through. There is tragedy but I think by the end of the movie there is this af-firmation that everybody land-ed on the mortal coil where

they were supposed to be.”Church is in virtually every

scene and delivers an extra-ordinary, minimalist perform-ance.

He doesn’t appear to be doing much, but subtly rides

the lines between sanity and insanity, between absurdity and logic, leaving the viewer off balance as the film veers between the present and flashbacks.

“Even as far back as work-ing in television comedy as I did, I always wanted more nuance, more reflection, more moments of whatever the whis-per line between comedy and drama is,” he says.

“That really is defined by human circumstance and hu-man behaviour. Even when we were promoting this pic-ture that I did called Side-ways, we’d do these big Q&As and one time this guy said, ‘It must be really interesting. In the dramatic scenes you make very dramatic choices and in the comedic scenes you make very comedic choices.’ No man, maybe it sounds a bit elitist or pseudo-intellectual but I make hu-man choices. I’m just trying to play a real guy.”

Canada’s entry for the Best Foreign Film at this year’s Oscars, Gabrielle is the touching story of the title character (Gabrielle Marion-Rivard), a young woman with developmental disabilities who falls in love with Martin (Alexandre Landry), a singer in her choir. Unfortunately his mother doesn’t approve and pulls Martin from the group in an attempt to end their relationship. In return, Gab-rielle takes control of her life for the first time. This thought-provoking French language film is a tender tearjerker, but undeniably soul-stirring. richard crouse

Penn State doc gets blessing

The filmmaker behind the new documentary about the Penn State sexual-abuse scandal says that both the family of Joe Paterno and the lawyer for the victims expressed satisfaction with the film.

“To have total polar oppos-ite perspectives feel a sense of gratification that the film rep-resents their perspective accur-ately is really something I am proud of,” said documentarian Amir Bar-Lev in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival, where Happy Valley premiered.

Bar-Lev screened the film for Joe Paterno’s widow, Sue, his two sons, Scott and Jay, and at-torney Tom Kline before it pre-miered. All appear in the film.

Happy Valley explores the case that engulfed the town of State College, Penn., where Penn State is based and which is also known as Happy Valley.

Now a convicted serial child-molester, Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach, was then ac-

cused of molesting children, and key people, including for-mer head coach Paterno, were said to have turned a blind eye.

Paterno died with a tar-nished image and the town was rocked by their fallen saints. Jerry Sandusky did not speak for the movie, but his son Matt Sandusky did.

To get Matt Sandusky to agree to participate in the docu-mentary, Bar-Lev assured him the movie wouldn’t solely rely on the stories of Sandusky or Paterno, but would focus on the torn Happy Valley community.

“Matt asked me a lot of ques-tions about my approach,” said Bar-Lev. “Convincing him was really about sitting down with him and telling him that this

film was called Happy Valley, not Sandusky or Paterno. It was from that meeting that he said yes and agreed to an interview with no stipulations.”

On Sunday, Matt Sandusky attended the premiere of Happy Valley. “I felt it was important to share my perspective as a survivor in this documentary,” Matt Sandusky said in an email statement. “After seeing the film, I am hopeful that it will help people understand some of what I have gone through.”

Matt Sandusky was listed as a defence witness at his father’s 2012 trial, but he did not take the stand. Instead, he disclosed through lawyers that he had also been abused. The associaTed Press

Classics reeled into the digital era

With celluloid withering as the cinema-screening media of choice, the digital revolution is not only here to stay, it is — dare we say — superior to its sprocket-dependent predeces-sor. Purists be damned, with digital projection you don’t get colour fades, melted frames, strip breaks or foreign hairs dancing in the corners of the screen.

If you want to watch your fa-vourite movies and experience them in a state of rebirth, digit-al is quite simply the way to go.

The iconic exhibitors at Cineplex have embraced this change, hence the latest in-stallment in their annual Great Digital Film Festival, returning January 31st to February 6th to select Cineplex screens across

Canada. Over 20 celebrated clas-sics of cinema, from superhero gems to cult oddities to action blowouts are unspooling (so to speak) this round and while all are solid draws, Metro has selected a handful of pictures that are essential HD viewing experiences.

Planet of the Apes (1968)It doesn’t get much better than this retro-future shock masterpiece, in which Charlton Heston plays an astronaut jetti-soned back to the primal future where simians hold court and

humans are livestock and worse. A brilliant night-mare that spawned an en-tire subculture is exhibited here in a gorgeous, crisp transfer.

Brazil (1985)Terry Gilliam’s surreal-ist dystopian mind-bender has no peer, with kinetic visuals, wild-eyed perform-ances (including a hilarious turn by Robert De Niro) and social commentary smashed into one mad, mad movie. A must-see.

Logan’s Run (1976)Join Michael York and Jenny Agutter as lovers on the run in a beautiful, abstract and distinctly ’70s-centric future where the government al-lows each citizen 30 years of life before they are ritual-istically executed. The film is a landscape of blown out whites and becomes an all-consuming environment on the big screen.For a comPleTe lisT oF Films, screening Times and ParTiciPaT-ing TheaTers visiT cinePlex.com/evenTs/digiTalFilmFesT

Batman (1989)

Tim Burton’s original venture into Dark Knight territory has aged beauti-fully — Prince music notwithstanding — and balances camp, noir and psychodrama with aplomb. Stylish and eccentric, with rich blacks, blues and browns that are deftly drawn out in digital.

#MonsterJam

When the 56th annual Grammy Awards air on Sunday night, the last thing millions of viewers will be focused on is the awards themselves. What makes the Grammys are the perform-ances. The programmers know this, which is why in recent years they have featured fewer trophy presentations during the televised portion of the cere-mony and more of their odd-ball pairings of performers. The results often vary from stun-ning to excruciating, which is why we always tune in. Here’s what to look out for on Sunday night.

LL Cool JLL is back for his third consecu-

tive year as the host, and if the previous years are any indica-tion, he also swings wildly be-tween cringe-worthy — actual-ly saying the phrase “hash tag” in front of everybody’s name he mentions like a verbal tweet — and amazing, kicking it old school at the end of last year’s ceremony with Chuck D, DJ Z-

Trip, Tom Morello and Travis Barker. Also, if you’re looking for a Grammys drinking game, if you take a drink after every time the host licks his lips, you’ll be wasted before a single note-worthy award is given.

Pharrell WilliamsThe producer had his hand in

two of 2013’s mega hits, Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines and Daft Punk’s Get Lucky, the latter of which he’ll perform with everybody’s favorite helmeted Frenchmen. With Nile Rodgers and Stevie Wonder also join-ing in this jam, you can feel it all over, especially as it’s ru-moured they’ll go into Stevie’s

classic, Sir Duke. It will also be very surprising if you don’t see Pharrell at the podium to accept an award at least once. He’s nominated for seven of them!

Robin Thicke and ChicagoYou guys remember Robin Thicke from the Video Music Awards? He was the one guy that Miley ground upon who wasn’t dressed like a giant stuffed animal. Anyway, he’s being given another shot at awards show glory, and this time he’s sharing the stage with the legendary nine-piece horn outfit Chicago.

Imagine Dragons and Kendrick LamarOne of the worst moments in Grammy history happened in 2006, when Linkin Park, Jay Z and Paul McCartney tried to create popular mashups that featured their music.

At that point, mashups were pretty much brand new and musicians were still figur-ing out how to accompany rappers. Eight years later, hip-hop and rock fit much more naturally, so when Imagine Dragons play their Record

of the Year nominee, Radio-active — as Kendrick Lamar raps over it with Swimming Pool, from his Album of the Year nominee, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City — it has serious potential.

Big sloppy rock endingThere’s also no star in an all-star jam. It’s kind of like an adapta-tion of the slogan that “there’s no I in team.” But in this in-stance it’s not necessarily be-cause of the giant egos on stage as it is the fact that when a ton of people plug in instruments and play together, it’s just a mess. Earlier this week it was announced that Dave Grohl was curating the finale for the Grammys, which includes Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac.

Jay Z and BeyoncéYes, this will be beautiful, but wouldn’t it be sublime if hip-hop’s royal couple silently act-ed out a dramatic scene while Lorde performed her multiple nominee Royals? Seriously, think about how much that “you can call me Queen Bey” part would resonate.

Grammys forecast is the usual mixed bag Stunning with a heavy chance of excruciating. The awards show always throws up a whole load of talent and the odd mismatch on stage

Rapper LL Cool J will once again host the Grammys. getty images file

all tickets $6 or lessEvery chef has a “mean streak,” says MasterChef Canada judge Michael Bona-cini.

“You have to in this business,” insists the food guru, who operates a fleet of Ontario restaurants with partner Peter Oliver. “It can be cutthroat, it can be aggressive, it can be demanding and you have to be constantly ‘on’ when you’re cooking.”

Bonacini, along with co-judges Alvin Leung and Claudio Aprile, are putting 50 Canadian home chefs through their paces on MasterChef Canada, airing Monday evenings at 8 p.m. ET on CTV.

The elimination-style cooking contest has had popular incarnations around the world, including the U.S. version hosted by tough-talking Scottish chef Gordon Ramsay. When asked if he’ll be the bad cop on Master-Chef Canada, Bonacini de-

murs.“You’ll have to watch the

show to find out,” he says.Shows like MasterChef

Canada, Bonacini believes, have proven to be a great source of motivation for home chefs.

“The growth of great TV shows and in particular something like MasterChef Canada definitely inspires people to revisit that burn-ing desire to get into the food business in some way,

shape or form,” says the chef.“Certainly I think that

what it offers home cooks is a window into professional kitchens.” The 50 finalists come from diverse back-grounds, with a plumber, an opera singer and a tattoo artist among the group. Can-adian cuisine, he notes, has changed dramatically in the two decades since he opened his upscale Toronto restau-rant Canoe with a home-grown focus.

“The momentum that has grown over the last 18 years is enormous,” says Bonacini. “I think that we understand in much more detail the local region-al culinary flavours that we have to offer, the multi-culturalism that the coun-try has to offer, the great ingredients that are locally grown, foraged from east coast to west coast.

“It is that sort of fabric that allows us to showcase all that is Canadian cuisine.”

Bonacini says chefs are “competitive by spirit and nature” and have “certain egos.” There is a $100,000 prize at stake on MasterChef Canada and the judge advises competitors to “remain focused and go for it.”

“You have to come out with your A game every single challenge,” says Bona-cini.

It sounds like competi-tors can also expect some brutally honest feedback from the judges. “You can be Mr. Nice Guy for a cer-tain amount of time, but Mr. Nice Guy isn’t always there.”

The first elimination epi-sode of MasterChef Canada will air following the Super Bowl on Feb. 2. The canadian press

Aveline de Grandpré is a Lady Assassin of mixed race living during the New Orleans slave trade of 1765. She wears a dress and car-ries a poison parasol when she wants to be seen and leaps across rooftops in a tunic and arm blade when she does not. A bullwhip and a third disguise help her rescue slaves, but only as background activity to very confusing conspir-acies. Glitches make it a difficult game to finish, wasting away much of the creativity that otherwise makes Aveline a thrilling heroine to play. Kris Abel

Television

homeland can miss the realism mark, ex-cIA operative saysFormer CIA operative Valerie Plame has a mixed opinion of Showtime’s spy drama Homeland.

Plame said Wednesday the Emmy Award-winning TV series is a compelling drama and that star Claire Danes is “fabulous” as a CIA operations officer.

But Plame told a TV critics’ meeting it’s not credible that the character’s bipolar disorder would go unnoticed. She says the depiction of cellphone use inside CIA headquarters is another gaffe, since the phones are not secure and can be traced.

Plame left the CIA after her covert identity was compromised by informa-tion leaked to a newspaper columnist in 2003.

She is among those fea-tured in the PBS documen-tary series Makers: Women Who Make America, airing later this year. the AssociAted press

The Word

Good Lorde! Taylor really is BFFs with just about everyone

Is there anyone Taylor Swift isn’t BFFs with? She hangs out with everyone from sitcom stars like Sarah Hy-land from Modern Family and to indie darlings like Lena Dunham to fellow pop stars like Selena Gomez. And now, apparently, she’s added Lorde to her collec-tion.

In a Rolling Stone profile, Lorde says she often texts Taylor for advice, even about something as minor as which knickknack to buy for her home. “Taylor’s supergood at this stuff,” the Royals singer says. “She’s

decorated her own houses for ages.”

The two young stars weren’t always so lovey-dovey — Lorde once told a reporter that she thought Swift was a bad influence. “Taylor Swift is so flawless, and so unattainable, and I don’t think it’s breeding anything good in young girls (who might think) ‘I’m never going to be like Taylor Swift, why can’t I be as pretty as Lorde?’ That’s bulls.,” she said.

So how did the two end up BFFs? Because Taylor’s a class act, pretty much, and sent Lorde a bouquet of roses when Royals hit No. 1. “I was floored,” Lorde admits.

Is there anyone Taylor can’t win over? I really think she is laying the groundwork for a major showbiz power grab, backed by her cadre of female starlets of every stripe. And I could not love it more.

Mariah and hubby want to be Roc and Roe stars

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are working on a children’s book. Scholastic announced Thursday that it has acquired the couple’s Roc and Roe’s Twelve Days of Christmas, a picture story scheduled for release this

fall. Illustrated by A.G. Ford, the book is a holiday tale featuring twins Moroccan and Monroe, to whom Carey gave birth in 2011. Scholas-tic is billing the book as an “adorable” take on a famous Christmas carol.

Lady Gaga ALL PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES

Big money lawsuits and disputes aplenty, just

another day being GagaLady Gaga is trying to keep some things secret, particular-ly a settlement with a former producer, which she’s vying to have sealed, according to Radar Online.

Producer and ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari filed a $30.5 mil-lion lawsuit against Gaga in 2010, claiming he helped transform Stefani Germanotta into the pop star she is today. The suit was settled out of court, with the details of the settlement sealed at the time, but now Fusari is being sued by another producer, Wendy Starland, who claims she also

helped discover Gaga, and the discovery phase of that suit could unseal the documents from the first suit. “In 2010, Germanotta entered into a confidential settlement agree-ment with Rob Fusari and Rob Fusari Productions, resolving certain disputes, unrelated to the instant action, that had arisen between them,” Gaga’s lawyer writes in the filing. “These documents include highly sensitive financial information that could inflict significant professional and competitive harm upon Ger-manotta if disclosed.”

Shia LaBeouf

Shia is just misunderstood guys, seriously it was all art

Back when she was a nobody, long before she blasted to stardom on American Idol and Dreamgirls, Jennifer Hudson sang on a cruise ship. And on Wednesday, the singer said she would do it again — this time as the headliner for a new concert series on Carnival Cruise Lines called Carnival Live. “I used to work on a cruise ship, a long time ago,” said Hudson before performing at a Carnival news conference in midtown Manhattan. “That’s what I did before I did American Idol.” Her stint aboard a Disney

cruise ship was “my test,” she said. “Days later, I auditioned for American Idol.” Headlining the Carnival series “is like a full circle,” she added. Hudson is scheduled to perform June 18 on Carnival Ecstasy and June 19 on Carnival Breeze, both in Cozumel, Mexico. Car-nival has struggled to restore its image after three ships broke down last year. Images of passengers stranded at sea, ships towed back to port and trip cancellations created a torrent of bad publicity for the company that depressed ticket prices and revenue.

In case anyone was curious, Shia LaBeouf’s plagiarism drama, and the cavalcade of attempted online apologies that followed, was just “meta-modernist performance art,” the actor explained in a pair of lengthy and quickly deleted online postings. “All art is either plagiarism or revolu-tion,” he wrote. “My use of

Twitter started a broad cultural discussion that needs to be had about plagiarism in the digital age and celebrity, social media absurdity. Intentionally oscillat-ing between hope and doubt, sincerity and irony, knowing-ness and naivety, construction

and deconstruction. I addressed the world.” Got it.MELINDA

1. Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

2. To make the buffalo sauce, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the RedHot sauce, barbecue sauce and butter. Heat, stirring, until the butter is melted and thoroughly blended. Set aside.

3. Remove all of the meat from the chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken, then toss well to coat. Set aside.

4. Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer over the pre-pared baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the chips. Using tongs or a fork, spread the chicken evenly over the cheese and chips.

5. In a small bowl, toss together the Mexican-style

cheese and the blue cheese, then sprinkle evenly over the chicken. Top with the olives and scallions. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown. Serve with salsa and sour cream.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Toast Burns and blends

Though not on par with Robert Burns, Anchorman Ron Burgundy’s quote, “I love scotch, scotchy, scotch, scotch” is poetry to whisky lovers. Not like scotch needs celebrity endorse-ment. It’s been rocking the spirit world for centuries with a cult of collectors who talk up their inventory numbers with the same relish that a tweeter does followers. And it continues to gain new members.

While single malts (made at a single distillery, in a pot still, from only malted barley) get attention because of big flavours, a scotch producer confessed to me that he felt “the art was really in the blend.” Created from a combo of grain and malted whiskies, blends offer a rounded alternative to the aggres-siveness of single malts.

Those looking for a tipple to toast Robbie Burns’ 255th birthday this weekend might consider The Famous Grouse (750 ml, $28.05 - $29.99), the

most popular blended whisky in Scotland. Smooth and lightly malted, its blend includes

heavy weight single malts, The Macallan and Highland Park. PRICES REFLECT THE RANGE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SOME PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ALL PROVINCES.

If change is indeed the only constant, then Kia is rock steady for 2014.

The automaker really has everything going on, from mid-cycle refreshes of the Soul, Sportage and Optima, to the more thorough makeover of the Sorento tall wagon, to the revival of the Sedona mini-van after taking a year off.

And then there are the totally new cars — a Cadenza large sedan, Rondo family wagon and the new Forte/Forte5/Koup. Let’s get moving, shall we?

The Cadenza’s introduction is a sig-nifi cant one for this Hyundai subsidiary. The brand that once sold mainly small and inexpensive cars has gradually expanded its lineup to include a variety of smartly styled vehicles that look nothing like their Hyundai counterparts.

Clearly, the Cadenza is Kia’s attempt to gain favour with more mature buyers who place pampering content atop their must-have criteria. The interior design work is equally low-key, but is right in step with most luxury-oriented models. The start button fi res up a 3.3-litre V6 with 293 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque.

Although seemingly tailored for older buyers, the car’s “sport-tuned” suspen-sion is somewhat fi rmer than that of some competitors. Base models pile on the good-ies with a leather-fi tted interior, 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control with front- and rear-seat ventilation, navigation system with eight-inch touchscreen display, rear camera with backup warning and a 550-watt Infi nity-brand sound system. Wow. Not bad for a brand that has become fashionably sophis-

ticated instead of play-it-safe conservative. That’s even more apparent when it

comes to the Forte5 hatch that followed the sedan’s 2013 calendar-year launch by a few months. Dialled back somewhat, though, is the Forte’s power. The new base 1.8-litre engine pumps out 148 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 2.0-litre four-cylinder produces 173/154.

For Forte5 buyers, the 2.0 is standard while a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder is optional. It spools out 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission, or optional six-speed automatic, can be connected to all three powerplants.

We didn’t lump in the Forte Koup here because it really deserves some extra ink. The 2014 redesign really brings the Koup into its own, even though it continues to be based on the Forte sedan’s platform. What makes a big difference this time around is the car’s more aggressive — and downright attractive — front- and rear-end styling, including a set of massive headlight pods, that sets it apart from its Forte sedan and Forte5 hatchback siblings.

For more room — family room — there aren’t many compact wagons that can get away with packaging three rows of seats that real people can actually sit in.

The original Rondo was a decent competitor, but the new version is bet-ter looking, more functional and does more with a litre of gasoline. Called the Carens elsewhere in Kia’s vast distribu-tion universe, the Rondo is exclusive to the Canadian market.

It’s hard to fathom why not since it has a lot to offer, starting with a well-planned interior, that, when not transporting people around, can be converted to a workhorse of cargo carrier. The second row is a tri-folding unit, while the optional third row is a 50:50 bench. Both rows fold as fl at as a bowling lane and offer an impressive variety of people and cargo permutations.

Dan Craig and his crew have been at Dodger Stadium from dusk to dawn every night for the past week, patiently build-ing a sheet of NHL-quality ice in the middle of the iconic base-ball field.

They’re just about ready to drop the puck in California.

The ice is solid, the fans have bought nearly every ticket, and the teams are eager for their

historic showdown under the stars. Only a few tweaks remain before the L.A. Kings face the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday in the NHL’s first official outdoor game in warm weather.

“It’s hard not to get excited about it now that it’s almost here,” Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf said. “It seems like everybody is talking about it.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canada plans to bid to host the 2026 World Cup.

“We’re the only G-8 na-tion to not host the World Cup,” Canadian Soccer Association president Victor Montagliani said on Thurs-day. “We’ve hosted almost every other event.... I think it’s time for Canada to step up to the plate.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Soccer Canada’s strategy. If you can’t beat ’em, host ’em

Just like U.S.?

“When they bid for the World Cup, I wouldn’t say the game was in a healthy state in the U.S.”CSA president Victor Montagliani, on the U.S. hosting the 1994 tournament.

Pioneer of the game

Hayley Wickenheiser, who is at a pre-Olympic camp in Austria and wasn’t able to attend the formal announce-ment Thursday on Parliament Hill, will be making her fi fth Winter Olympic appearance.

• But for the fi rst time since 2006, she won’t be Canada’s captain. Caroline Ouellette has been handed that job, while Wickenheiser will be an alternate.

• Wickenheiser and team-mate Jayna Heff ord will be the only players in the 2014 women’s tourna-

ment who have played in every Games

since female hockey made

its debut in 1998.

Hayley Wickenheiser doesn’t put much stock in the flag-bear-er’s curse.

The hockey star, who will carry the Maple Leaf into the opening ceremonies of the So-chi Olympics, says the idea that she and her teammates could be under any more pressure is absurd.

After all, they play a sport that many in Canada consider religion. So any sort of cosmic jinx pales in comparison to the weight of an entire country’s expectations for the women’s team to win a fourth straight gold medal in Sochi.

“I think there’s just too much emphasis put on that,” Wickenheiser said Thursday via conference call from Austria.

“The country expects a gold medal. Whether I carry the flag or not, I’m pretty sure our team doesn’t feel any extra added in-centive that there’s more pres-sure to perform, because we already feel that already.”

Not all athletes see it that way. Diver Alexandre Despatie felt it would be a distraction and said he’d decline any offer to carry the flag at the 2012 London Games.

Kayaker Adam van Ko-everden carried the flag at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and fin-ished a disappointing eighth in the 1,000 metres — although he did win silver in the 500.

Moguls skier Jean-Luc Bras-sard blamed his disappoint-ing performance at the 1998 Nagano Olympics on being the flag-bearer a day earlier.

Wickenheiser and her team-mates hope the same thing doesn’t happen to them. Hock-ey Canada says the women will march in the Feb. 7 opening ceremonies despite playing

their first game the follow-ing night versus Switzer-land.

Brassard, the assistant chef de mission for the Sochi team, was on the panel that selected Wickenheiser along with chef de mission Steve Pod-borski, assistant chef France St. Louis and one athlete rep-resentative. Hockey Canada nominated her for the honour.

“Throughout her success-ful career, this Canadian ath-lete has demonstrated true Canadian grit, patriotism and sportsmanship,” said Podborski, adding that Wickenheiser will lead the Canadian team with “the utmost pride and class.”

Wickenheiser is embracing the op-portunity to put her sport centre stage.

“What I think it does is it shines a very positive light on the sport of women’s hockey and just on our sport in general for the world to see,” said the 35-year-old forward. “That’s a great responsibility and expectation that every na-tion in the world has to carry in and I think should really em-brace.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Jets winger Evander Kane handles the puck ahead of the Ducks’ Nick Bonino on Tuesday in Anaheim. Kane recordeda goal and an assist in the game. Jeff Gross/Getty ImaGes

Now is Kane’s time to prove he belongs

Evander Kane sure picked the right time to contribute. Returning after missing four games with a hand injury, the dynamic left-winger picked up two points, includ-ing the game-winner, as the Winnipeg Jets became the first team to beat the power-ful Ducks in Anaheim in regulation this season.

Tuesday’s victory ex-tended Winnipeg’s record to 4-0-0 under new coach Paul Maurice. It was important for Kane to make a mark in the new regime before the caboose left without him. As the Jets teeter on the brink of missing the playoffs again and the trade rumors swirl around Kane as always, now is a crucial time for him to prove he belongs in the Jets’ long-term plans.

It’s been one problem after another for Kane this season. There was the time Noel left him out of the

lineup and Kane claimed he was not injured, but actually had a healthy scratch. There was the horrible November in which he potted one goal. And the various nicks and scratches have piled up: Kane has missed 12 games so far this season with hand and lower-body ailments.

On the bright side, Kane has tantalized as always. He’s been the best Jet forward on the ice on many occasions, he’s thrown his weight around with reckless aban-don and, if he’d played every game this season, he’d be on a 30-goal pace. He’s also still just 22 years old.

But now more than ever, Kane must find a way to stay in the Jets lineup. The more the team wins under

Maurice without Kane, the more expendable he may appear to Kevin Chevelday-off, who has a laundry list of teams who’d pay an arm and a leg to give Kane a shot. Also working against Kane is the fact he’s one of the only pieces of Winnipeg’s expen-sive core without a no-trade clause.

Not only must Kane stay on the ice, he needs to find his scoring touch down the stretch. If he catches fire and helps the Jets make a strong playoff push, he may cement his status as an untradeable franchise player to build around. If Kane goes cold and the Jets flop again, however, the Jets may look to make major off-season changes.

That’s not to say mov-ing Kane would be a smart move for Winnipeg at all. But when a player develops a reputation as difficult to manage, teams almost look for excuses to trade him, as we saw with Tyler Seguin in Boston. So time is of the es-sence for Kane to prove he’s Winnipeg’s best player.

It was an intense week at the Bouchard household as daugh-ter Eugenie worked her way to the Australian Open semifinals.

“We were yelling like idiots,” Mike Bouchard, the player’s father, said Thurs-day of his daughter’s stirring win over Ana Ivanovic in the quarter-finals, which made her the first Canadian to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament since Carling Bas-sett-Seguso in 1984.

It wasn’t quite as frenzied at their Westmount, Que., home two nights later, when Bou-chard bowed out with a 6-2, 6-4

loss to fourth-seeded Li Na of China in the semis.

“It was also exciting, but in the first set Li Na came out strong and Genie was a little nervous,” he said. “I felt for her,

but she came back well in the second set. Overall, it was an excellent tournament.”

Bouchard stole the show in Melbourne, where a dozen or so local fans formed Genie’s Army to cheer her on and toss her stuffed Australian animals after her wins.

Several commentators spoke of Bouchard, the 2012 Wimbledon junior girls cham-pion, being the next big thing in women’s tennis and a poten-tial future Grand Slam tourna-ment winner.

Already, her results are ex-pected to move her from 31st into the top 20 in next week’s rankings.

And it has stirred ticket sales for her next appearance on home turf. She will play for Canada against Serbia Feb. 8-9 in a Federation Cup tie at the Claude Robillard Centre in Montreal.The canadian Press

Aries March 21 - April 20 There is no point being angry about what you have to leave behind. The planets are pointing you in a new direction and urging you to take that first brave step into the unknown.

Taurus April 21 - May 21 Why are you so excitable? Whatever the reason, you will be on the go from dawn to dusk today. You may need to rest and get your energy back tomorrow but for now you are a ball of energy.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 You don’t have to be especially dynamic today. In fact, if you wait for good things to come your way, they will. Also, your way with words will get what you desire in most situations.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 Someone will come to you for advice and although you don’t want to get involved, you know you can’t turn them down. Make sure they know it is only advice. The ultimate respon-sibility rests with them.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Honesty is essential if you are to resolve an issue that has been dragging on. That does not only mean you being hon-est with others, it also means others being honest with you. Encourage them to speak up.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You tend to believe in only what you can see and touch. Something will happen today that makes you wonder if there are other forces at work. Can you make them work for you?

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 No matter how many brilliant ideas you have, they don’t mean a thing unless you do something with them. For too long you’ve come up with grand plans, now it’s time to act.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 There is a reason for everything that happens in life — ultim-ately there is no such thing as luck. Keep that thought in mind today and it will help you keep your feet on the ground.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 Don’t take it personally if a friend is overly critical. They are probably more annoyed with themselves than they are with you, but their ego won’t let them admit it. They’ll make it up to you tomorrow.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 You may be desperate to be doing something more exciting but don’t get so desperate that you act without thinking. If you do, and make a mistake, it will most likely hit you where it hurts most — in your wallet.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 In the eyes of the world, you can do no wrong, so don’t worry if you tread on others’ toes. Most likely they’ll say sorry to you! In every way you are moving faster than everyone.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 You need to rediscover your passion for a project that started off well but tailed away as other things demanded your time. It doesn’t have to be a fantasy that remains unfulfilled. There is still time to make it a success. SALLY BROMPTON
