FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY
Two deaf students were charged with trespassing after staging a small protest at their Milton school over concerns about learning conditions there, says the mom of one of the boys.
The teens “protest on property because they felt the school administration and the government, minister of educa-tion, are not listening,” said Bar-bara Dodd, mother of 18-year-old Zak Smith, one of the teens arrested Tuesday afternoon at E.C. Drury School for the Deaf.
Dodd, who is also deaf, said via email that the boys were es-corted off their school’s property “with verbal warning (Tuesday) morning. The boys returned later in the afternoon and were arrested by Halton police.”
The teens and a third per-son — deaf advocate and for-
mer provincial schools student David Lucas — all face trespass-ing charges and are to appear in court in October, she added.
Torstar News Service has chronicled the ongoing issues at the province’s four schools for the deaf, including teachers with inadequate sign-language skills and administrators who refuse to use sign language when communicating with students. Students have also cited a lack of crucial Grade 12 course offerings they need to go on to university or college.
Lauren Ramey, spokes-woman for Minister of Educa-tion Liz Sandals, said, “As this is now an ongoing police matter, it would be inappropriate to discuss details.” TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

There are four provincial schools for the deaf — in Milton, London, Belleville and a French-language deaf school in Ottawa — with 300 students total.
‘Best mayor in Toronto’s history’Mike Tyson, in town for his one-man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth at the ACC Wednesday, dropped in on Mayor Rob Ford Tuesday afternoon. Tyson dubbed Ford the “best mayor in Toronto’s history,” and took some jabs at Ford critics, saying he “has a troubled past because he has 24-hour surveillance of the press ... It’s not his fault, it’s just that he is living his life and we are human beings.” KEITH BEATY/TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

West Queen West is 2nd coolest ’hood in the world?The Drake Hotel boasting its perennial line last Thursday when a TIFF party was hosted there. In its September issue, Vogue Magazine named the trendy West Queen West area the second-coolest neighbourhood in the world. Vogue said it has all the “hallmarks of hipness … a verifiable artery of indie patisseries, homegrown labels and hidden-from-view galleries.” The Drake and Gladstone hotels, Soho House and Grafitti Alley are all mentioned by Vogue. Tokyo’s Shimokitazawa neighbourhood took the No. 1 spot. TorsTar NeWs service file
New poll
Tory leads all over, Soknacki quitsA second consecutive poll shows John Tory with a big lead over Rob Ford and Olivia Chow.
The new poll by Forum Research is Tory’s best of the entire campaign.
The Forum poll, con-ducted Monday, put Tory at 40 per cent, Ford at 28 per cent and Chow at 21 per cent. David Soknacki, who announced his withdrawal from the race on Tuesday night, had six per cent. Four per cent said they didn’t know.
Tory had never before hit 40 per cent in poll that included undecideds. He now leads in every region of the city.
Forum’s previous poll, in late August, triggered panic among residents opposed to Ford: it showed Tory leading the incumbent by only 3 percentage points, 34 per cent to 31 per cent. The new poll suggests the mayor’s performance in the previous poll may have been a temporary blip. torstar news service
‘Undoable.’ trailing chow slams tory’s transit plan Trailing in the polls, mayoral candidate Olivia Chow went to Eglinton Ave. W. to aim a rock-et at frontrunner John Tory’s SmartTrack transit plan.
The event, at a townhouse construction site on the north side of the road west of Kipling Ave., coincided with the launch of Tory’s new TV campaign ads and a new “SmartTracker” web tool.
The location of Chow’s news conference was designed to demonstrate that it would be impossible for Tory to build, as promised, a 12-kilometre rail spur on a provincial tran-sit right-of-way along Eglinton that is clearly being developed for homes.
“We are standing on part of his scheme. Further down (Eg-linton), lands have already been sold,” she told reporters, point-ing to the new home founda-tions and construction equip-ment behind a fence.
“How could you possibly put heavy rail through homes?” said Chow, adding that Tory has promised not to tunnel, buy land or build transit on the road.
Tory’s campaign has ac-knowledged that it doesn’t have the engineering studies to show exactly how a heavy rail line would run along that stretch of Eglinton or through the denser section near Weston Rd. But during a CP24 TV inter-view Tuesday, he said there might be “instances” where the line would need to be tunneled. torstar news service
Tory’s SmartTrack
The SmartTrack proposal would build 53 kilometres of “surface subway.” Most of the plan, which Tory pegs at $8 billion, is identical to the GO Transit electrification scheme the province has already agreed to build and fund.

U.S. President Barack Obama told congressional leaders Tues-day that he has the authority he needs to carry out a broader campaign to root out the vio-lent extremists in Iraq and Syria, a day before outlining his plans to the American people in a prime-time address.
The White House said the president told lawmakers that he still would welcome action from Congress that “would aid the overall effort and demon-strate to the world that the United States is united in de-feating the threat” from the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). That could take the form of congressional authorization to fund counter-terrorism efforts, as well as
train and equip more moder-ate elements of the Syrian op-position.
The president’s broader strategy to confront the ISIS militants may also include more wide-ranging airstrikes against targets in Iraq and pos-
sibly in Syria. The U.S. began launching
limited airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq in August, ac-tion that occurred at the invi-tation of the Iraqi government but without specific authoriza-tion from Congress.
Even before Obama’s meeting with congressional leaders, some lawmakers had suggested a vote on the president’s plans was unlikely before the midterm elections in November. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pakistan, India
Raging floods kill hundredsMonsoon floods sweeping across India and Pakistan have killed more than 440 people, authorities said Tuesday, warning hundreds of thousands more to be prepared to flee their homes as helicopters and boats raced
to save marooned victims.Authorities in Pakistan say
the floods, which began Sept. 3, are the worst since massive flooding killed 1,700 people in 2010. Pakistan’s minister for water and power, Khwaja Mohammad Asif, warned parliament that some 700,000 people have been told to leave their homes, which could be inundated in the next four days.

Flight 17. Dutch report says plane hit in midairA child’s jump rope, its yellow handles blistered and charred. A burned book in Tagalog. Chunks of twisted fuselage. More than seven weeks after being shot from the sky, the wreckage from Malaysia Air-lines Flight 17 still lay strewn Tuesday across the fields of east-ern Ukraine.
As evidence of the July 17 aviation disaster that killed all 298 people on board remained exposed to the elements, inves-tigators hundreds of miles away in the Netherlands — who have not yet visited the crash site be-cause it is deemed too danger-
ous — released a preliminary report that left key questions unanswered.
The plane had no mechanic-al or other technical problem in the seconds before it broke up in the sky after being struck by multiple “high-energy objects from outside the aircraft,” the report said.
There were multiple punc-tures in the cockpit and front section of the fuselage, it said — damage that could be caused by a missile that detonates in front of its target and peppers it with small chunks of metal. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this Sept. 4 file photo, U.S. President Barack Obama shakes hands with Jordan’s King Abdullah II during their meeting at the NATO summit in Wales. As the U.S. looks to stitch together a coalition to tackle ISIS, the Obama administration will have to overcome the reluctance of Mideast allies who are deeply frustrated with a White House they believe has been naive, fickle and weak on Syria’s civil war.

John Geiger, president of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, holds an iron fitting, identified as a davit from a ship, in Ottawa on Tuesday. The artifact is being noted as the key piece of evidence that led to the discovery of a ship, seen in the inset sea-floor scan, that is believed to be one of two wrecked during the doomed Franklin Expedition of 1845. Sean KilpatricK/the canadian preSS
ship from vanished Franklin expedition found in arctic waters
The key to unlocking the mystery of the missing Frank-lin Expedition came just days ago when a coast guard heli-copter pilot spotted a dark U-shaped object in the Arctic snow.
The time-ravaged hunk of metal bore the markings of the Royal Navy. It was a davit — part of a lifting mechanism — likely for a lifeboat from one of the two lost Franklin ships.
On Tuesday, the davit sat on display in Parks Canada’s Ottawa laboratory, the only tangible link to one of the most enduring mysteries in both Arctic and Canadian his-tory.
The remarkable find com-pletes one half of a puzzle that gave rise to many search-es throughout the 19th cen-tury.
The search team con-firmed the discovery in the early morning hours of Sun-
day, using a remotely operat-ed underwater vehicle recent-ly acquired by Parks Canada. It is not known yet whether the ship is HMS Erebus — the flagship on which Franklin himself was sailing — or HMS Terror.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who recently came close to the search area on his annual northern trip, could barely contain his de-light Tuesday as he delivered news of the “great, historic” breakthrough.
“I’d say it’s been the sub-ject of scientists and histor-ians and writers and singers,” Harper said. “So I think we have a really important day in mapping together the history of our country.” the canadian press

Ivory credits Eva’s Satellite with keeping her alive, housed and mostly off drugs.
Eva’s, a youth shelter in Toronto, is where she went — first for housing, and then to learn how to properly inject heroin when she relapsed.
“When I was using heroin with my mom, I always had someone else inject it,” said Ivory, 24, who asked to be identified by her nickname. “So when I had my relapse, I was able to go to them.”
She started using heroin when she was nine or 10.
“My mom started using first and then to support her habit she was letting her ‘friends’ and dealers do whatever they wanted to her nine-year-old daughter so she could get more supply. By the time I was 12, I was prostituting with her.”
Ivory had a daughter five years ago, but lost custody when her daughter was 2-1/2. Then she landed at Eva’s.
Eva’s Satellite is a “harm reduction” youth shelter, of-fering education and kits for safer drug use, as well as re-creation, counselling and ac-cess to a doctor and a psych-iatrist.
Homeless youth, aged 16 to 24, will find themselves barred from other shelters for drug use or aggressive be-haviour. They can go to Eva’s, however, because the thresh-old for being barred is higher.
To some in Canada, “harm reduction” is deeply mis-guided; to others, it’s the only humane approach to treating addiction. Eva’s was the first harm-reduction shelter for youth in Canada and, accord-ing to staff, still the only one of its kind.
Staff members are avail-able 24-7. All have experience in shelters and a college dip-loma or university degree in social work or a related field. A doctor and a psychiatrist are available once a week for about three hours.
Eva’s isn’t a supervised in-jection site. Drug use is against the rules but won’t get resi-dents automatically barred.
“All I know is if it wasn’t for Eva’s Satellite and the staff here, I would probably still be on the streets or I’d be dead,” Ivory said.
Former staff air concerns This spring, six employees
were fired. Eva’s wouldn’t dis-close the reason, except to say it was justified and verified.
One staff member who was let go, Nathan Hammah, worked at Eva’s for five years. He told Metro that one reason the employees were fired was for sleeping on the overnight shift. The group has disputed their firing, and the issue has gone to arbitration.
Hammah said he decided to speak publicly about his concerns, not because he was fired, but because he came to believe that conditions for staff and residents were un-safe, including incidents of violence.
Hammah said that such behaviour is tacitly condoned whenever there is tolerance for drug use on the premises.
Hammah added that resi-dents weren’t getting proper care whenever on-site use led to a medical problem; he “blew up” at manage-ment over their response to a resident who had injected ketamine and was found un-responsive.
He said he told manage-ment, “You found the kid, you did not send him to the ambu-lance, and we’re all in the of-fice talking right now and no-body’s watching this kid.”
“I don’t believe that a kid OD-ing with a needle in his arm means that you’re pro-viding a safe place. It means you’re providing an interior place for them to get high. It’s
not monitored,” he said.Sameera Warlond, who
worked at the shelter for two years before she was fired, said the shelter’s policy on drugs and alcohol also puts staff and residents at risk.
Warlond said management would overrule frontline staff and allow aggressive residents to stay. “So then you’ll have to be interacting with that youth a day later, after they’ve threatened your life or some-thing like that.”
Warlond said the shelter’s policy with alcohol is to allow intoxicated youth to stay, but insist they drink off-site.
“If they have alcohol on them then they can store it
with us,” she said. “We have told management that we are very uncomfortable storing alcohol for these children, es-pecially when ... some of them are under 19.”
Shianne Pettifer, a friend of Hammah and a former resi-dent of Eva’s, said she also be-lieves the shelter is too lenient. Pettifer said she was stabbed in the forehead by a fellow resident, who she believed was drunk or high but was allowed to return to the shelter.
Management defendsshelter practices
Karen Tizzard, the program manager at Eva’s, said the for-
mer staff members never said they felt unsafe until they were let go. She said they re-ceived ongoing training and, in any case where they felt ill-equipped, there was more training available.
If clients are caught doing drugs on-site, Tizzard added, they are taught about safer ways to use and ways of get-ting help — but aren’t kicked out.
“Unfortunately in Toronto, we don’t have a (supervised) injection site, so people are going to use wherever they want,” she said. “Our thing is, let’s keep them here so they’re going to be safe.”
Tizzard said incidents of drug use and mental-health crises at Eva’s have never been fatal, and shelter staff know how to respond. She feels crises at Eva’s are min-imal considering the suffering many of the youth have ex-perienced.
“The amount of trauma that these young people have dealt with, I can’t even fathom dealing with a fraction,” she said.
Alan Simpson, the resi-dential supervisor at Eva’s, said the shelter creates safety and stability for people going through a crisis. They create an individual plan for each client to reduce their risks, but overdoses have occurred.
“Is that frightening and scary for people? Absolutely. We are a harm-reduction shelter, we run a needle-dis-tribution program, we run a pipe-distribution program. If you’re coming to work here, it shouldn’t be a surprise,” he said.
Simpson said it’s better for a drug user to be found during a room check at Eva’s than not found for hours outside.
“Other youth have died in parking lots and under bridges because no one is there,” he said.
Eva’s also helps youth deal with their underlying prob-lems and concurrent mental-health issues, he said.
“We’re not doctors, we’re not medical staff, but we do the best we can.”
Tizzard and Simpson both say addiction and mental health are medical issues, not shelter issues.
More medically oriented funding would help them bet-ter address these concerns, in-cluding allowing them to hire an on-site nurse.

For the first time in years, Apple’s iPhones weren’t the star of the show. Apple un-veiled a smartwatch on Tues-day, a wearable device that marks the company’s first major entry in a new prod-uct category since the iPad’s debut in 2010.
The move is significant because of recent questions about whether Apple still has a knack for innovation, fol-lowing the 2011 death of co-founder Steve Jobs.
The device’s introduc-tion upstaged the company’s two new, larger iPhones, which won’t just have bigger screens; they’ll have a new, horizontal viewing mode to take advantage of the larger display.
iPhone 6The iPhone 6 will have a 4.7-inch screen, while the iPhone 6 Plus will be 5.5 inches. The screen resolu-tion on the Plus version will be sharper than previ-ous iPhones, at 401 pixels per inch rather than 326.
With the larger screen comes a new horizontal view of the home screen.
Apple WatchThe audience erupt-ed with cheers as Cook proclaimed that he had “one more thing.” That was how Jobs used to close his keynote addresses.
That one more thing was the Apple
Watch. The watch will re-quire one of the new iPhones or an iPhone 5, 5s or 5c. It will be available early next year at a starting price of $349 US. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Life hacks, by hacks
Obvious advice is a hack now, right? Like, a good fast-food- ordering hack is to line up at the counter. Or if you’re looking for a gardening hack, try connecting your hose to the house.Thankfully, Tripp and Tyler have moved past such well-worn tips for some truly rare wisdom that you’ve never heard before. Though, there may be a reason these are so mysterious — perhaps they’re best avoided. (YouTube/Tripp and Tyler)

WHERE WILL NOSEPICKERS GO NOW? What’s up with elevators?
It used to be you could pick your nose in an elevator and remain blissfully unobserved.
Not anymore. Elevators are more like remote paparazzi these days, invading the privacy of such upstanding citizens as Beyoncé’s sister, Ray Rice and Des Hague, that guy from the catering company who kicked the puppy.
You could argue that’s a good thing, especial-ly if it prevents Ray from flattening his girl-friend or Hague from kicking the puppy.
And if it comes at the loss of one of the last bastions of casual privacy, one of the few places where you can un-self-consciously adjust a wedgie without worrying if you’re on Candid Camera, so be it.
Today, you can bet everyone in every elevator across the land is resolutely staring at the lights indicating the floor numbers or carefully and responsibly reading the instruc-tions for what to do when you get stuck between floors.
You just have to wonder if there’s anywhere we can still pick our noses in peace. Judging by the numbers of noses being picked while their owners are stuck in traffic, maybe privacy isn’t necessary. But really, where’s it going to end?
Almost everywhere you go, there’s a camera. Even in the loo. More and more pubs and restau-rants are installing cameras in their restrooms, if not directly in the stalls, as proprietors are get-ting tired of the shenanigans that go on as closing time approaches. You thought elevators were bad...
How long will it be before the courts decide to move cameras into private residences to enforce
parole conditions, for example? And as zero tolerance and technology combine to make it easier, how long before we spend every waking — and sleeping — moment under video scrutiny?
Elevator cams may capture a bit of nasty behaviour, but
there’s a whole world of pain out there, and most of the bad things people do to each other happen behind closed doors un-observed. Just think of all the crimes we could prevent by put-ting everyone under surveillance all the time.
Right now you’re probably thinking that it’s time to get Sul-livan fitted for his tinfoil hat, but think about it. We’re even doing it to ourselves. You can buy sophisticated video surveil-lance equipment off the shelf at Canadian Tire or Costco. And home alarm companies are selling increasingly invasive video security packages that you can operate with your mobile phone.
Of course, you’re not the only one operating your mobile phone.
I’m not condoning the bad things people do when they think no one else is watching, but I do wonder if we’ll even no-tice when the last private place is gone. I’d love to see the look on your face when the realization dawns.
In fact, I’m quite sure I will, along with several million of your closest Internet BFFs.

tomb that is slowly coming to light in northern Greece.
Dating to the tumultuous years surrounding the death of Alexander the Great, between about 325 and 300 BC, the tomb is the largest ever found in northern Greece — a resting place monumental enough for royalty.
The burial borders the ancient Aegean port of Amphipolis (near modern-day Amfípoli), which once served as the base for the fl eet that Alexander the Great took on his invasion of Asia. This past weekend the excavation team, led by Greek archeologist Katerina Peristeri,
announced the discovery of two elegant caryatids — large marble columns sculpted in the shape of women with outstretched arms — that may have been intended to bar intruders from entering the tomb’s main room. NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC.COM

A new genre of movie, the boy-and-his-dolphin film, was introduced in 1963.
There had been boy-and-his-dog and girl-and-her-horse movies, but Flipper was something different — an aquatic love story about a young boy who nurses a dolphin back to health after it was accidentally speared.
Flipper became some-thing of a sensation, spawn-ing more movies, a tele-vision series and a catchy theme song (“They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning, No one you see, is smarter than he”) but he’s not the only dolphin in Hollywood’s great big sea.
2011’s Dolphin Tale was a movie based on the real-life relationship between a boy and Winter, an injured bottlenose dolphin. This weekend’s Dolphin Tale 2, starring Harry Connick Jr.,
Ashley Judd, Kris Kristoffer-son, Morgan Freeman and dolphins Winter and Hope, is a continuation of Winter’s tale. This time around, the good folks at the Clearwater Marine Hospital search for a companion for the lonely dolphin.
In between Flipper and Dolphin’s Tale came many swimming mammal movies. There’s Beneath the Blue and Eye of the Dolphin but Day of the Dolphin may win the prize for Best Movie with the Silliest Tagline. “Unwittingly he trained a dolphin to kill the President of the United States.”
Loosely based on a 1967 novel by Robert Merle, this eccentric 1973 sci-fi thriller starred George C. Scott as a scientist who trains dol-phins to speak English while a radical group makes plans to kidnap the sea creatures and use them to blow up the presidential yacht. The mov-ie won a Patsy Award for Al-pha the dolphin as best ani-mal actor, but the mammal movie star wasn’t available to collect the prize in per-son. The day after their parts were finished shooting both Alpha and co-star Ginger es-caped and never returned.
The Cove was a more real-istic and unsettling dolphin movie. An indictment of dolphin hunting and trade methods, particularly the
annual dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan, it won the 2010 Academy Award for best documen-tary feature. One of the ex-perts featured in the film is Ric O’Barry, former dolphin trainer on the Flipper TV ser-ies. O’Barry switched from training the mammals to ad-vocating for the restoration of freedom for all captive dolphins and whales after one of the Flipper sea “ac-tors” died in his arms. “A dol-phin’s smile is the greatest deception,” he says, “It cre-ates the illusion that they’re always happy.”
Hollywood takes to dolphins with a few � icks of a Flipper Making a splash. Dolphin Tale 2 builds on the aff ection for the aquatic mammals that started in the ’60s

The Word
Swifty doesn’t like drama ...unless there’s a song in it
I suppose this counts as per-sonal growth: Taylor Swift’s songwriting has apparently progressed from being about ex-boyfriends to being about ex-friends. Or at least this one new song, Bad Blood, is. And with any Swift ditty, the real fun comes in trying to decipher the secret subject, Swift-ian wordplay be damned. “For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not.
She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?’” Swift tells Rolling
Stone. “(Then last year) she did something so horrible. I was like, ‘Oh, we’re just straight-up enemies.’ And it wasn’t even about a guy!” They are never ever, ever getting facials together, if I may. So if it wasn’t about a boy, what was the last straw between Swift and her mystery frenemy? “It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabo-tage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me,” Swift says. “You would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It’s awkward, and I don’t like it.” So I suppose if we want to figure out who she’s sing-ing about, watch which fellow singers she’s not hanging out with.

Back-to-school trends for teen boys and girls couldn’t be more op-posite in nature.
“For girls, we are seeing three major trends — sporty, romantic, and urban,” said Karen Richter, showroom manager for Toron-to-based H&M Canada. “So cat details, checks, metallics, varia-tion of knits, glitter, and florals are all key this season.”
And for boys? “We’re seeing earthy/wilderness, urban, and casual luxury — so metallic, black and grey tones, checks, utility, and playful knits are all important details for them,” she said.
And so it seems — anything goes.
“It’s a season about mixing and matching, so mix-ing the athletic look with the straight look in girls and boys,” said Karen Speirs, direc-tor of product development, apparel for Wal-mart Canada. “It’s printed — so animal prints and cardigans with large graphics in letters or numbers so it has a more athletic feel, mixed with your skinnies.”
Those skinnies, many in the form of soft leggings or stretch denim, are part of the bigger trend moving towards leisure, Speirs said.
“In bottoms especially, there is a trend happening with soft-dressing pants and that’s a new look,” she said. “The pants and the jogger, it’s getting just a bit more relaxed and that’s becom-ing a huge trend. Leisure is shifting the whole depart-ment.”
And it seems that mix of
metallics, punk, athletics and romantic has trickled down from the fashion runways to feet — namely moving more to-wards boots and runners.
“But I would say more fashion-forward sneakers — so really bright colours, interest-
ing textures like metallics, sneakers with a fash-ion finish to them, and then combat-
style boots, so lace-up boots are huge,” said Sarah Smithers,
public relations supervisor for Win-
ners in Toronto.As for middle schoolers, they
are taking advantage of hip pat-terns and colours. “Girls camo is big this season by taking the look and using different kinds of icons to form the camou-flage,” Speirs said. “With boys, it remains traditional and it’s up-dated through colours to create excitement.”
Animal-inspired clothing is also a big hit.
“There are lots of animal prints — for girls, it’s still the
all over animal print of zebra and cheetah. But in older girls, it’s more the black and white zebra look,” she said.
“And in boys, they are wear-ing really large photo-real graph-ics of animals
with humour. They’re more into the screen prints.”
Athletics is hot, too. “It’s all about varsity — athletics have had a really big influence in ap-parel this year so it’s really all about large numbers and letters on graphic tees,” Speirs said.
And whether they’re wear-ing it on their backpack or dress-ing up in it, there are a number
of prints avail-able this fall for middle
Duelling back-to-school fashion for boys, girlsTeen trends. A season of mixing and matching, says industry expert

schoolers. For boys, the pull for plaid is also a top pick.
“We’re seeing more graphic prints, fur, ’80s-style prints that really let them mix up their look, and it’s not all just pink
and purple hearts and stars,” Smithers said.
“Plaid is always a huge trend with back to school and can be worn in so many ways.”

Richard: Mark, I learned my lesson a long time ago about asking actors if they think they’ll get nominated for an Oscar. They all think they will, but none will admit it on the record. It’s a waste of a ques-tion, so I didn’t ask Eddie Red-mayne if he thinks he’ll get nominated for his perform-ance as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, but I have to tell you, I think he’s a lock for a Best Actor nod. He takes control of the movie from the first frames and doesn’t let go, even in the latter half when he has no voice and speaks through a computer.
Mark: Not to be a cynic, but playing a character with a dis-ability helps. Playing a famous character with a disability really helps. But I’ve seen some other Oscar-worthy performances at the festival. Steve Carell as the unhinged Dupont heir in Fox-catcher for one. When comed-ians turn serious, they can be
devastating, if you remember Jackie Gleason in The Hustler. Carell puts on a weird nose for the role and turns in a role of repressed genius.
RC: Carell isn’t the only per-son who transforms himself in Foxcatcher. Jutting out his jaw changes Channing Tatum from movie-star handsome to
thick-necked gym rat. It’s a re-markable transformation and shows Tatum’s range. He may be best known as the stripper in Magic Mike, but like John-ny Depp and Brad Pitt before him, he’s working past his good looks to become a ser-ious actor. Who else do you think might get Oscar atten-tion from this year’s festival?
MB: Kevin Costner may get a nod for his sad, angry, alcoholic lawyer in Black and White, and Robert Duvall for his sad, angry, alcoholic judge in The Judge. Notice a pattern here? The real question is which Brian Wilson in Love and Mercy will prevail at Oscar time. John Cusack is wonderful as the older version, but I think Paul Dano will get the nomination for playing the younger Brian, if only for the more interesting haircut.
RC: Ha! If it’s musical mov-ies with Oscar potential you want, TIFF has one that I’ll bang the drum for. Whiplash is part musical — the big band jazz numbers are exhilarat-ing — and part psychological study of the tense dynamics between mentor and protege in the pursuit of excellence. The pair is a match made in hell. Teacher Fletcher, played by J.K. Simmons, is a vain, driven man given to throwing chairs at his students if they dare hit a wrong note. He’s an exacting hardliner who teaches by hu-miliation and fear. This movie doesn’t miss a beat.
MB: The Last Five Years prob-ably has no Oscar potential, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t a won-derful movie. It has only two characters belting their hearts out about their relationship. The twist is, the girl’s story moves backward and the boy’s story moves forward. Jeremy Jordan is very good but Anna Kendrick is just great. But the real stars here are Richard La-Gravanese’s direction and the songs by Jason Robert Brown. Hey Shiksa Goddess is sure to become a classic.

Reel Guys at TIFF
White Walrus, anyone? Justin Long can’t wait to try special Tusk weed
In one of the more unique ef-forts of film marketing, dis-tributor A24 has teamed up with a Los Angeles marijuana dispensary to release two spe-cialty strains of pot to promote Kevin Smith’s new horror film, Tusk.
The two strains — the White Walrus and Mr. Tusk — offer different experiences. “White Walrus, I’m told, is more mellow and uplifting,” A24’s Graham Retzik tells the New York Times, while Mr. Tusk is more intense. “The two are surprisingly complex, in keeping with the spirit of the film.”
Smith, an avowed stoner, is thrilled at the development. “A24 was just like, ‘Would you mind terribly if we branded a strain called Mr. Tusk?’” Smith tells Metro. “And I was like, ‘Are you f--ing kidding me? I’m going to smoke my own mov-ie? This is getting better by the minute!’”
He’s not alone in his excite-
ment for the tie-in. Justin Long, who stars in the film as a pod-caster who gets into trouble during a trip to Canada, is eager to sample at least one of the pot varietals on offer.
“The White Walrus, I get. I’d like to try that,” he says. “I’d like to try them both, but just in terms of watching the movie I don’t quite under-stand the more intense one, the Mr. Tusk. It’s already pretty intense on its own. But I guess if you want to just amp it up a little bit. I’m not a roller-coast-er guy. I don’t get that mental-ity.” Ned ehrbar/meTro

Suite luxury Tour through the property’s fab Hazelton Suite on the second floor and you’ll find a spacious 1,236 square feet of luxury. The VIP space features a dressing room made of zebrawood, with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, laptop-recharging safe, spacious windowed seat-ing area, juliet balconies looking out over Yorkville Avenue, a plush king-sized bed, 47-inch LG HD plasma TV, Nespresso maker and powder room. The ensuite bathroom is done entirely in galaxy green granite and comes outfitted with heated floors, a deep soaker tub, separate rainfall shower, LCD TV built into the mirror and his-and-hers sinks.
One great spot for spotting celebsFor many locals, it’s become a TIFF tradition to lounge at The Hazelton’s One Restaurant and Bar in the hope of spotting celebs popping in and out of the lobby. Your best bet is to sip champagne while soaking up the sun on the restaurant’s wraparound patio. Indulge in chef Mark McEwan’s finest culin-ary creations via seafood-centric linguine (blue crab, black tiger shrimp, scallion, chili, garlic and white wine butter sauce) and an eight-ounce burger stuffed with applewood smoked cheddar, peameal bacon, onion aioli, crunchy coleslaw and smoky BBQ sauce.
Get the VIP treatmentThe Spa at the Hazelton is an intimate space with only four treatment rooms and one mani-pedi station. It’s an ideal setting for small groups, couples, friends and individuals looking to rejuvenate in a dis-creet setting. Both the ladies’ and gents’ change rooms are equipped with eucalyptus steam rooms while a salt-water lap pool offers guests a space to relax and soak after their treatment.
A private screening for 25 of your friendsThe Hazelton was the first hotel in the city to install a 35mm screening room. The petite theatre offers elevated plush seating perfect for hosting an intimate party for up to 25 of your favourite film buffs. Lots of titles are available in the hotel’s video library, but if guests are looking for something specific, the concierge is happy to tend to any requests.
Sexy, dramatic interiors by internationally renowned designer Yabu Pushelberg make The Hazelton Hotel a cultural catalyst in the heart of Toronto’s Yorkville neighbourhood. Autograph hounds are known for camping outside the hotel in the hope of spotting actors like Ben Affleck, George Clooney and Bill Murray.

What you missed!
How TIFF launched Michael Moore’s careerTIFF is all about celebrating new films, but this year the fes-tival looks back a quarter of a century at a film that came to the festival like a lamb, but left as a lion.
“I feel like I got very lucky here,” says Michael Moore on the 25th anniversary of his documentary Roger & Me, which became a sensation at TIFF. He credits the festival with the launch. “Actually, launch is too soft of a word,” he says of its “rocket propulsion.”
The documentary is a per-sonal look at the economic blowback of General Motors
CEO Roger Smith’s decision to close several auto plants in Moore’s hometown of Flint, Mich. The closures cost 30,000 people their jobs and set the city on a downward spiral.
“When we were making it, our plan was to buy an old Ford-Econoline van and, like hippies, travel around the state of Mich-igan showing the film in union halls, churches and schools,” he says. “But when it was finished, I could tell people were going to love this. It was going to drive people crazy.”
Instead of a church base-ment, the movie found an en-
thusiastic audience at TIFF. “The egalitarian thing about
this festival is that if you’ve made a really good movie,” he says, “the cream will rise to the top. It will be seen. Studios will know about it.”
From its Toronto begin-nings, the film went on to be-come a sensation and breathe new life into the documentary as popular entertainment.
“They ended up putting it on 300 screens,” he says. “Com-pletely unheard of. The Thin Blue Line was the year before that, and that was big for a documentary. Probably played a
hundred art houses and made a couple million dollars. In hind-sight, I see the impact it has had on the form ... I think there were nine documentaries be-fore Roger and Me that grossed a million dollars or more. Nine. Since Roger and Me: 109. You see where that line is and that I feel great about.” richard crouse/Metro
Michael Moore was on unemployment making $98 a week before his doc, Roger and Me, caused a sensation at TIFF 25 years ago. geTTy Images

That worried expression people get when you mention the name Colombia is becoming an outdated attitude. This richly diverse and historic country is making a surging comeback after decades of political confl ict and drug-related violence. Today’s Colombia is Bogota’s modern metropolis, Cartagena’s Caribbean fl avour and Medellin’s innovative food and transportation. Here are three
experiences in three incredible cities that show why Colombia could become your new favourite Latin American destination.
You can’t walk a cobbled stone street in Cartagena’s Old City without passing a quaint restaurant boasting some of the freshest seafood in the entire country.
Try Café Santismo, where you can sip a Devil’s Tempta-tion before digging into the beautifully plated Bishop’s Catch, a fresh mackerel with mango, ginger and coconut milk.
SitesThe heart of Cartagena lies within the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas, a castle centrally located with gorgeous pan-oramic views of the city.
More than 400 years old, this Spanish-built fortress will be familiar to film buffs who remember the final scenes from Romancing the Stone.
ActivitiesW h e t h e r you have an undying love for Gabriel G a r c i a Marquez, or just a passing interest in the Colombian author, it’s worth wandering the Old City or taking a horse-drawn carriage tour to retrace his roots there.
You’ll pass the many spots, like tree-lined Plaza
de Bolivar or the arched walkways of the Portal de Los Dulces, where inspir-
ation guided him to write his classic, Love in the Time o f Cholera.
NightlifeIf you wander into one of Car tagena ’ s most popular bars, Donde Fidel Salsa Club in the
Old City, don’t be alarmed by the throbbing volume.
It’s to service the massive patio across the street, where
you can knock back ice cold
Club Colombia cervezas and watch the endless human traffic.
If you’re brave, go inside and hit the floor for some salsa dancing.
Places to StaySome visitors will prefer to stay in one of many small boutique hotels in the Old City, but others who prefer a little distance from the nighttime action will find some solitude and luxury at the five-star Hotel Las Amer-icas. This resort hotel right on the beach boasts infinity pools and fine dining and is only a five-dollar cab ride from the Old City. A small price to pay for serenity.

BogotaFood
Despite Bogota’s enormity, with its population at almost nine million, the staff at Andres Carne de Res have a way of making you feel like family. Don’t be surprised when, as you’re chowing down on juicy cheese-filled Arepas, you’re suddenly wearing a Colombia-coloured sash and being coaxed to the dance floor by the waiter for an impromptu salsa lesson.
SitesThe main airport in Bogota is called El Dorado, and after you visit the must-see Gold Museum downtown you’ll understand why. No other museum in the world boasts such a varied and precious collection of gold artifacts. There are three floors of mes-merizing gold history, includ-ing the famous Muisca raft, a piece dated to between AD 600 and 1600 and considered a key to the El Dorado legend.
NightlifeThe name Carlos Vives might elicit shrugs in these parts, but in Bogota he is a pop music god. He also happens to own a nightclub, the Gaira Café Cumbia House, and it’s consistently the hottest ticket in town. You’ll find live music on a nightly basis in the multi-level club, and it’s not unusual for Vives himself to pop in and thrill with an un-announced set.
Places to StayA city of Bogota’s size can be overwhelming, which is why a little distance from the downtown core might be a good idea your first time in. The AR Hotel Salitre is a hip, modern and lux-urious spot frequented by Bogota’s young movers and shakers. Clink cocktails of guanabana juice and vodka with Bogota’s fashionable business class as live music fills the lobby.
Bogota’s size can be overwhelming, but the city pulses with energy.

MedellinFood
The progressive and innova-tive vibe that permeates much of Medellin is best exempli-fied in El Cielo, a molecular gastronomic creation by a young chef named Juan Man-uel Barrientos. Named one of the 50 best restaurants in Latin America, El Cielo serves a 15-course meal that includes such exotic delights as fish basked in black calamari ink and apple blue cheese purée. You will be left dizzy from Bar-riento’s culinary creativity.
SitesMedellin locals swell with pride at the mention of home-town hero, Fernando Botero, one of Latin America’s most famous artists and the centre attraction at the Antioquia Museum. Botero’s sculptures and paintings are immediately
recognizable with their super-sized, exaggerated form, as if inflated with a bike pump. Outside the museum, 23 of his sculptures dot a bustling square full of downtown Me-dellin vibrancy.
ActivitiesOn the other end of the pride spectrum is Medellin’s most infamous son, Pablo Escobar, the ’80s drug kingpin who lorded over the city and tainted Colombia’s image with a stig-ma the country is still work-ing to shake. However, take the newly built Metro Cable up past his old barrio, Santo Domingo, and see how much positive development has changed the once cartel-ruled area, while taking in spectacu-lar views of the surrounding mountains. At the top is Spain Library, a fascinating archi-tectural creation by Giancarlo Mazzanti.
NightlifeWhen the sun goes down, head to Parque Lleras in the upscale area of El Poblado to see Medellin’s young and fashionable co-mingle in the streets as Latin rhythms flow from each direction. From the ambient chill of Woka Lounge to the feverish salsa scene at The Rouse, there’s a bar or club for every taste in this pul-sating zone.
Places to StayJust stumbling distance from Parque Lleras is the tasteful and classic Hotel Dann Carl-ton. What the rooms lack in modernity, they make up for in old-world Colombian charm. And if you’re looking for a romantic setting, check out the hotel’s revolving restaurant for perhaps the most jaw-dropping, exquis-ite night view Medellin has to offer.
Medellin has a progressive and innovative vibe.

Films to spark your wanderlust
There are so many great movies that inspire people to travel. Admittedly my fa-vourites may not be critically acclaimed, so I asked Metro’s film critic, Richard Crouse, to weigh in on my top picks.
The Talented Mr. Ripley This film showcases Italy from the stunning villages of the Amalfi coast to the streets of Rome and the canals of Venice. Apart from getting murdered in a rowboat, you want to live the ex-pat life of Jude Law’s playboy character. Richard says, “Four stars. Much of the glamour in this smart and thrilling movie comes from the magnetic performances of Jude Law and Matt Damon.”
Blue CrushThis movie may be aimed at
teens, but the surfing shots and lush scenery in Blue Crush will have everyone planning a trip to Hawaii. For better or worse, it also provides some insight into what your hotel service staff may be doing with their free time! Richard says, “Three stars. The story of three Ha-waiian wahinis who have crappy day jobs to pay the rent and support their surf-ing addiction plays more
like a travelogue with dia-logue than a drama.”
The Motorcycle DiariesThe Motorcycle Diaries cov-ers a 12,000-kilometre trip from Argentina to Peru, undertaken in 1952 by Ernesto “Che” Guevara de la Serna. Richard says, “Four stars. A political road trip that relies on its star, Gael Garcia Bernal, and the scen-ery for much of its appeal.”
The Motorcycle Diaries will make you want to strike out on your own South American adventure. contributed

C is for corporate, that wasn’t good enough for herOf cookies and co-hosting. Carla Hall dishes on how to make all your career dreams come true
Trust and take off
“The timing will never be right. You really have to take a leap of faith.”Carla Hall
LaksHmI gandHIMetro World News
It was a total leap of faith that led Carla Hall down an uncon-ventional career path that took her from a steady job in ac-counting to being a co-host of the popular daytime talk show The Chew.
After graduating from How-ard University with a degree in accounting, Hall landed a job as a CPA at PriceWaterHouse-Coopers in Tampa, Fla. Things were going fairly well until she had a light bulb moment while working with a more senior col-league on an audit.
“I looked at the accountant working next to me and he was folding the receipts very care-fully so that the edges matched up perfectly,” says Hall.
“And I just thought, ‘That can’t be me at 40.’ I was so
anxious that two weeks later I quit.”
Making the jumpHaving been a model since her college days, she began net-working and planning her next move. “I met these girls who were going to France,” she ex-plains. Hall eventually decided to join them. In preparation, she started taking French les-sons from the wife of a former colleague and then, armed with one telephone number, she boarded a transatlantic flight.
Figure out what you really wantIt was in France that Hall dis-covered her love of food. “I was just looking for signs to follow
my passion,” Hall says. “I sort of fell into food.”
Teach yourself the skills you don’t haveBecause she didn’t have any formal training at that point, Hall figured out the basics of cooking on her own. “I was self-taught,” she says. “I was reading cookbooks. I was very much like this generation in that the lesson was tenacity.”
After returning to the U.S. from France, Hall launched her own lunch delivery service.
“I started it as a fluke,” she says. “I made a friend lunch one day and brought it to their of-fice and they liked it so much that they said, ‘You should make lunch for me every day.’” And so her business, the Lunch Bunch, was born. “I went door-to-door with sandwiches and soups,” she recalls. “I did that for five years before I went to culinary school.”
There is no such thing as per-fect timingIt’s important, says Hall, not to talk yourself out of changing your path once you’ve made a decision to follow your dream. “If you try to plan, you’ll never do it,” she points out. “The timing will never be right. You really have to take a leap of faith.”
Stick with it if you really want it“I didn’t know how to wrap my sandwiches when I got started,” says Hall. “I worked seven days a week. You have to prepare yourself mentally, because it is a free fall.” Chef and television personality, Carla Hall. provided
The cookies
Hall first came up with the concept of her Petite Cookies during her days as a caterer.
• “Thecookiesstartedoffkind of as a joke,” she says. “People tend to break off a piece or a half of a cookie
and then no one takes the other half. So I started to do these cookies that were so small that no one would break them.” The mini cookies were such a hit that customers began requesting them.

SPORTSSabres owner plays saviour to Bills fansRalph Wilson’s legacy to keep the Bills in Buffalo will be preserved, after NHL Sabres’ owners Terry and Kim Pegula reached what was called “a de-finitive agreement” to purchase the NFL franchise on Tuesday.
The deal was announced in a statement issued by the trust overseeing the late hall of fame owner’s estate.
“Ralph would have been pleased with the sale of the team to the Terry Pegula family, who have been so committed to Buffalo and the western New York region,” Wilson’s widow and Bills’ controlling owner Mary Wilson said. “He loved his team and he cherished the fans, and his legacy will remain for all time.”
Wilson was the team’s founder and sole owner, who often spoke out and voted against franchise reloca-tion. And the selection of the Pegulas, who have maintained a commitment to keep the Bills in the region, comes as a huge
relief to team fans who have ex-pressed concern about their be-loved franchise moving follow-ing Wilson’s death in March.
“It is gratifying to reassure these great fans that the two franchises, so important to our
region, are here to stay,” Terry Pegula said in a statement re-leased by the Sabres.
The deal was reached a day after the Pegulas were among at least three prospective groups to submit binding bids to purchase the team.
The sale price was expected to exceed $1 billion.
In closing in on buying the Bills, the Pegulas beat out much higher-profile candidates such as New Jersey rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who led a group of Toronto-based businessmen, and New York City real estate mogul Donald Trump.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hawks fallout
Ferry still GM after Deng commentsThe Atlanta Hawks are sticking with general manager Danny Ferry even though the team’s new majority owner wants him fired for racially charged comments about Luol Deng.
CEO Steve Koonin on Tuesday told the Hawks’ flagship radio station that he made the decision to discipline Ferry but allowed him to keep his job manag-ing the team. He did not say what the punishment was, but noted that he relied on a law firm’s three-month investigation of Ferry and him describing Deng as someone who “has a little African in him.”
Ferry made the inflam-matory comments about Deng in a conference call with the Hawks’ ownership group in June when the team pursued Deng as a free agent.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ray Rice
Wife of RB calls bans ‘horrifi c’ Ray Rice’s wife says taking football away from her husband is horrific, and making the couple relive a moment they regret is a “horrible thing.” Janay Palmer posted a statement Tuesday on her Instagram account, a day after TMZ released video showing the couple Feb. 15 in an Atlantic City casino elevator. In the video, they hit each other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a rail-ing, knocking her out.
The Ravens cut Rice Monday, and the NFL fol-lowed by suspending him indefinitely.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Interesting features
Stow-away central screen, panoramic sunroof, dual-clutch automatic trans-mission, and available active lane assist, active cruise control and blind spot monitoring.
Points
• The tight turning radius, combined with the compact footprint, makes it easy to park or manoeuvre.• The controls for the infotainment system look daunting at first, but turn out to be easy once you figure out their functions.• Although it’s new to Can-ada, the A3 has been sold in Europe since 1996, and this is the third generation.
Market position
The A3 will appeal to those who want luxury with smaller-car fuel ef-ficiency, as a lower price point into the brand, or as a second car to the bigger Audi already in the driveway.
Premium automakers like Audi are known for their high-priced models, but many now offer more afford-able compact-car entries that still provide luxury and per-formance.
For 2015, Audi’s entry is the new A3 sedan.
It starts at $31,100, for the 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder model that makes 170 horsepower.
My tester was the turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder model, which starts at $35,900.
Eventually, the A3 will also offer a two-door convert-ible model and a diesel en-gine as the performance S3.
My 2.0-litre produced 220 horsepower, mated to a six-speed direct-shift gearbox — a dual-clutch automatic that sets up the next gear change as soon as the last one com-
pletes, improving perform-ance and fuel efficiency.
The 1.8-litre comes in front-wheel drive, but the 2.0 is tied to Audi’s full-time Quattro all-wheel drive.
Overall, I was very im-pressed with the A3. It’s an excellent combination of a peppy engine, sharp hand-ling, flat cornering, smooth ride and good highway man-ners, and it all comes togeth-er in one tight and cohesive package.
The cabin is elegantly de-signed and finished, with
soft-touch surfaces and sup-portive seats.
The coolest feature is the stereo screen, a thin tablet that automatically rises out of the top of the dash when the car is turned on, and then stows itself away and out of sight when it’s parked.
My car was the top-of-the-line Technik trim line, at a starting price of $42,850, which added navigation with handwriting recognition: Trace letters onto the top of the system’s joystick dial to spell out a name or destina-
tion, and the system will re-spond.
Note that there’s very lit-tle legroom in the back seat. Instead, Audi has prioritized the front passengers and gives them the lion’s share of the space. That will turn off those who need more rear-seat room, especially since you can buy many excellent compacts for a fraction of the A3’s price.
But there’s a lot of choice in the small-car segment, and at the premium level, this one’s a serious contender.
Review. Audi’s A3 combines peppy engine with smooth ride and sharp handling — all starting at $31,100

A special Fiat 500 modified by a Waterloo company is concerned about your health.
The car can monitor your bodily functions, such as glucose levels, heart rates and breathing, and combine them with your real-time driving, to warn you — and others somewhere out there in the connected world — if you’re suddenly getting in over your head.
It can even coach you while you drive, providing audible messages when un-safe behaviours are observed, such as speeding, harsh cornering or tailgating.
Developed by Intelligent Mechatronic Systems (IMS), the car will be lauded by some drivers as a brilliant advance to vehicle safety.
Others might see it more in the vein of Big Brother rolling into town — in a big, black limousine running on plutonium and escorted by the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
We won’t rationalize the dividing schools of thought today, so let’s just look at how IMS has been able to make such a health-conscious Fiat, which was unveiled last week, at the Insurance Telematics USA conference in Chicago.
IMS is an established player in the connected-car industry. One of its main product lines is DriveSync, a component and software platform that connects the vehicle to the cloud, where it accesses all the software and data to make connected-car business solu-tions.
For example, DriveSync is used by Co-operators Insurance for its usage-based insurance plans. A DriveSync de-vice simply plugs into the vehicle’s computer diagnos-tic port to gather and send information, such as speeds, distances, destinations and driver behaviour.
DriveSync also allows hands-free use of social-media devices and infotain-ment systems.
But its latest advance-ment, demonstrated on the Fiat, is accessing and lever-aging driver health informa-tion through an expanding range of wearable health-
monitoring devices. The company says insight
gained from the wearable technology is then trans-formed into anticipated driv-er behaviour. For example, it says sleep patterns, glucose levels and abnormal heart rates can be used to predict driver drowsiness.
So, before a journey when these conditions are
present, and after looking at the intended route and the current weather and traffic conditions, it might warn the driver to be extra cau-tious, to hand off the wheel to someone else, or even to stay home.
This information is relayed to the driver by a
tablet or screen inside the vehicle.
The company hopes to sell industry partners, includ-ing car manufacturers, with DriveSync solutions, and felt the best way to do that was to demonstrate everything it can do with one, very cute Fiat.

Hydrogen requires a financial kick-start North Americans are “tantalizingly close” to beginning the transition to hydrogen from fossil fuels, suggests a new study from the University of California. Entitled The Hydrogen Transition: This Time, For Real?, the study lists several caveats and roadblocks that must be overcome. The first and perhaps most difficult is a US$1-billion investment “in a series of lighthouse cit-ies” to lower the cost of hydrogen to $7 per kilogram, or the price that would make hydrogen fuel compar-able to gasoline, measured in cents-per-miles travelled. The study recommends targeted investment to build clusters of 100 hydrogen fuelling stations that could support up to 50,000 fuel-cell vehicles. Hey, it’s a start.
Shift: From hybrids, technology, new vehicles and the environment, to saving money at the pumps
Saab shows electric sedan amid concerns about its future The Chinese com-pany that bought the remains of Sweden’s Saab Automobiles three years ago said it would recast Saab as a maker of electric vehicles. Now, as fears spread that the new owners themselves might be on the verge of bankruptcy, engin-eers have presented a prototype plug-in electric Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan. The new owner, New Electric Vehicles Sweden, is the focus of a lawsuit by an unpaid supplier that could force it into bankrupt-cy. Limited production of gasoline-powered Saab 9-3s resumed last December. On-road testing of the 9-3 EVs was to be conducted this summer, but production was halted in May amid mounting financial concerns.
Four-door Smart car might suit North American driversHaving ditched its outdated and clunky powertrain in favour of new technology, Smart’s new-look, rear-engined 2016 Fortwo will be joined by a four-door model — the Forfour — at least in Europe. Smart owner Mercedes-Benz hasn’t said if or when the larger and more versatile Smart would come to these shores, only that it might, pend-ing a favourable business case. The rear-wheel-drive Fortwo, due to arrive in late 2015 as a 2016 model, will offer a choice of two new three-cylinder engines, one of which is turbocharged. Both will have automatic start/stop to help extend fuel economy, and a long-overdue five-speed manual transmission or an optional six speed automatic. The new look is also much more mainstream, which should help boost sales. The next Smart Fortwo will look a little more like a conventional car. All stories And photos from wheelbAsemediA.com
BMW is in a technology-sharing mood BMW says it is open to sharing the electric-vehicle-battery technology it has developed with Samsung SDI, as a means to achieving economies of scale that would bring down costs. “If Mercedes called us, we would be happy to find a way ... to supply them with battery cells,” BMW purchasing boss Klaus Draeger told industry watchdog Automotive News. The Bavarian automaker plans to increase orders of battery cells by at least 20 to 30 per cent in 2016 from 2014 levels. Samsung SDI will increase its supply for the BMW i3 battery-powered city car and i8 plug-in hybrid sports coupe, and will also supply bat-teries for future BMW hybrid models starting with the X5 plug-in hybrid, Draeger said.
Even if hydrogen cars become affordable, there’s the problem of supplying fuel for them. A new paper outlines a possible process.
Porsche plans four-cylinder engine with close to 400 horsepowerEven hardcore sports-car manufacturers are downsizing in favour of better fuel economy and lower emissions. Case in point: Future Porsche Boxsters and Caymans are due to receive a four-cylinder “boxer” engine, says Porsche boss Matthias Müeller. Porsche road cars would follow the lead of the company’s high-tech 919 Hybrid racing car in receiving four-cylinder engines, Müeller told Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport magazine. Unlike the 919 Hybrid’s unique V4 engine, the unit being prepared for the Boxster/Cayman will follow the lead of Porsche’s classic six-cylinder design, with a 180-degree horizontally opposed layout as part of a modular engine strategy that shares components no matter how many pistons there are. Müeller said the engine would put out almost 400 horsepower.
The Porsche 919 is pioneering the use of high-performance four-cylinder engines for use in the company’s road cars.
The next Smart Fortwo will look a little more like a conventional car, but there’s still no word whether the four-door model will be offered here.
Shift points
• Nissan luxury division Infiniti says it will build an electric luxury sedan in the guise of the Infiniti LE. And the good news doesn’t end there: It will have a larger battery pack, giving it greater range than the LE con-cept that the company showed in 2012.
• As you might expect of a diesel-powered motorcycle, the Hero RNT is designed to be a working machine ahead of a pleasure tourer. It’s designed for the market in India where two-wheel transport is a fact of life, and diesel fuel is popular.
• California automaker Tesla will offer a replace-ment battery for its 2008-’12 Roadsters. Founder and CEO Elon Musk says the battery upgrade will use newer-generation cells and other technolo-gies to give it a “signifi-cant” range boost. The claimed new range is about 640 kilometres.
BMW says if more companies adopted its battery technology, the cost for everyone would come down.

Horoscopes by Sally Brompton
AriesMarch 21 - April 20You may prefer to avoid an unpleasant or embarrassing situation rather than face it head-on but deep down you know you are merely postponing the inevitable.
TaurusApril 21 - May 21A new person will get your attention and you may even be thinking in terms of romance, but the planets warn the relationship is unlikely to last.
GeminiMay 22 - June 21 Neptune can be a disruptive infl uence and because it is now at odds with love planet Venus it could have a negative eff ect on aff airs of the heart.
Cancer June 22 - July 23 If you have doubts about a project others are trying to get you involved in then by all means steer clear of it.
Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 With Neptune, planet of illu-sion, up to its tricks today you could easily make a foolish mistake — and if you do it’s unlikely others will be able to get you out of trouble.
Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 You must not ignore a loved one’s feelings today, not even if you think they are getting emotional for no good reason. You can and you must show some sensitivity. Not everyone is as rational as you.
LibraSept. 24 - Oct. 23Someone will try to undermine your confi dence today but they won’t succeed. You know who you are. Their words won’t change that. But they may change how you view them.
ScorpioOct. 24 - Nov. 22No matter how attached you are to an idea, something will happen over the next 24 hours that forces you to think again.Could it be you took certain things for granted that you now realize were simply not true?
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21Your attempt to resolve a domestic dispute is not going to work today. Neptune, planet of illusion, is making it increasingly hard to see the real problem.
Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20You want to get as much done as is physically possible but the planets warn you could easily over-extend yourself or, worse, exhaust yourself.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19You may not want to admit it but you know a relationship is not working out the way you had hoped. Do you try again? Give it some thought.
Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20Today’s Venus-Neptune link suggests you are likely to lose focus! It actually doesn’t matter — fate will always guide you where you need to go.
