The Metro line could be up and running in spring, with the city now “cautiously optimistic” of an opening sometime in May.

The fully built LRT line to NAIT has been gathering dust since construction was com-pleted last April. The holdup has been the line’s signalling system, which has now been delayed six times.

Thales, the company build-ing the system, has provided March 23 as a new handover date and then the city will need six weeks of training and com-missioning.

Mayor Don Iveson said he’s still disappointed, but pleased an opening date is within sight.

“We appear to be getting

closer to where we want to be,” he said.

The new line will have trains running as frequently as 2-1/2 minutes apart and will cross-over the existing line, between Churchill and Health Sciences stations. Thales has worked on similar projects all over the world, but the company’s vice-president said integrating their new technology with some of the city’s older system was a problem.

“It’s not a large long system, but there are unique features for the Edmonton project that we haven’t seen anywhere else in the world,” said Thales vice-president Mario Peloquin.

Transportation manager Dorian Wandzura said the city will continue to offer the shuttle bus service to NAIT, but they want the line open swiftly as well.

“We know it’s not a replace-ment for the LRT. We are taking this situation very seriously and we thank Edmontonians for their patience,” he said.

Uber launched its UberX service in Edmonton in late December. The company may be handed an injunction if it doesn’t temporarily remove its vehicles fromEdmonton’s streets. METRO FILE

Uber non-committal on removing vehicles

Ride-share company Uber de-clined to commit Wednesday to pulling its vehicles off the road, which means it could face an injunction from the city.

Councillors voted late Tuesday to ask the company to remove its vehicles from service, while the city drafts new bylaws to allow compan-ies like Uber to operate within

regulations.The motion specified that

if the company was unwilling to voluntarily withdraw its service, the city would seek an injunction.

Uber was non-committal about its next steps.

“It’s too early to make a definitive assessment of that piece of it, but we will take some time to review that mo-tion and decide from there,” said Jeff Weshler, the com-

pany’s general manager for expansion.

Weshler said they’re excited about the chance to work with the city on new regulations.

“We’re committed to this process and making sure that ride-sharing has a permanent home in Edmonton,” he said.

Council’s motion also called for possible changes to the city’s existing taxi industry.

Mayor Don Iveson said the decision allows the city to con-sider improving taxi service, but also adding Uber and other ride-share companies.

“We’ve left our options open to offer more taxi plates and it might be a little bit of both,” he said.

Uber has been operating in breach of the city’s bylaws since its launch in December

and Iveson said they would face consequences for that.

“They’re disruptive and the consequence of their dis-ruption is we’re having to ask them to stop while we look at whether we can change our regulatory framework,” he said.

Coun. Andrew Knack, who proposed the motion, said he heard from residents who are not satisfied with the status quo.

“They want a new option to get around. I have heard that loud and clear,” he said.

Jasbir Gill, president of the Edmonton Taxi Association, said any new bylaw for the company would have to en-sure the playing field is level between Uber and the taxi in-dustry.

Cab standards

Council also asked for more information from dispatch companies to determine possible service standards for cab companies.

Education

Future of post-secondary fund now unclearStudent representatives fear a fund highly touted in last year’s provincial budget is in jeopardy and are accusing the province of breaking another promise in a sector hammered hard by recent funding cuts.

The province had pledged to reinstate the Access to the Future Fund and dole out $50 million to institutions during the 2014-15 year. But with one full semester in the books, not a single dollar from the fund has been distributed and Minister Donald Scott would only say this week that it was “part of a larger review.”

The fund was origin-ally established in 2005 and backstopped by an endowment that officials had hoped would reach $3 billion at its peak. Its in-tended use, according to the province’s website, varied from enhancing classroom instruction to bolstering scholarship and bursary programs.

The province ceased pay-ments from the fund dur-ing the 2010-11 school year due to “budget restraints,” according to an online posting.

The province has hinted in recent weeks at another tough year for the advanced-education sector, which has yet to return to enrolment and staffing levels seen prior to a nine per cent reversal in once-promised funding in 2013.

“It’s frustrating because it’s another commitment they’ve gone back on,” said Navneet Khinda of the Council of Alberta Univer-sity Students. JEREMY NOLAIS/METRO IN CALGARY

Hours after an Alberta Moun-tie succumbed to injuries sus-tained in a weekend shooting, the provincial solicitor gen-eral ordered a review of how his killer was able to walk the streets as a free man.

Minister of Justice and So-licitor General Jonathan Denis announced Wednesday he has directed the Alberta deputy at-torney general to review the involvement Crown prosecu-tors had with Shawn Maxwell Rehn.

Rehn fatally shot Const. David Wynn early Saturday morning at a St. Albert casino. Auxiliary Const. Derek Bond was also shot, but survived his injuries.

After the shooting, RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson ex-pressed his concern with how Rehn, who had a lengthy and

violent criminal history, was able to walk the streets.

Denis echoed Paulson’s con-cerns.

“The shooting of RCMP offi-cers this weekend in St. Albert is a stark reminder of what they face everyday and I know I’m not alone in thinking why anyone would take the life of an RCMP officer. It’s incompre-hensible to me,” said Denis Wednesday.

The Crown’s review will be in addition to a public fatality inquiry that could take place and any internal RCMP investi-gation. The Crown’s results will be made public once the re-view is complete, Denis added.

Wynn, who died Wednes-day morning, had worked for the St. Albert detachment since 2009 after he moved with his wife and three sons to the prov-ince from Nova Scotia.

Since the shooting, Assist-ant Commissioner Marlin De-

grand said the loss has been felt throughout the entire law enforcement community.

“We’ve seen just a tremen-dous outpouring of support for Const. Wynn’s family and members of the St. Albert de-tachment and police and first

responders throughout the country,” he said.

Degrand called the events from Saturday night a serious escalation after a routine prac-tice of checking license plates turned deadly.

“It went from zero to 100

miles an hour in just seconds,” he said.

Along with the Crown’s re-view, Degrand said the RCMP is currently looking into how Rehn — who had 29 outstand-ing charges at the time of the shooting and was under a fire-

arm prohibition — was out in public “walking among us.”

“We’re looking internally at all of our interactions with this individual,” he said.

Rehn was found dead short-ly after the shooting at a rural residence outside of St. Albert.

Process

The policy received first and second reading at a Novem-ber board meeting.

Board chairwoman Debbie Engel called the board’s new social media policystraightforward, despite critiques from fellow trustees. Leah hoLoiday/Metro

Social media policy condemned by some on Catholic boardA set of new guidelines re-garding Edmonton’s Cath-olic School trustees’ online interactions received mix-reactions at a Tuesday board meeting, despite narrowly passing third reading.

In a four-to-three vote, the ECS board passed the policy that sets out rules for how the trustees use social media as representatives of the dis-trict, personal websites, Fa-cebook and Twitter.

Trustee John Acheson called the policy distasteful and an in-fringement on his rights.

“I don’t want to overstate the case, but we saw what happened in Paris a couple weeks ago about the very issue about trustees’ and in-dividuals’ right to speak their mind, even if it offends some people,” he told the board, while motioning to defer the document.

Despite Acheson’s disap-proval of the policy, trustee Laura Thibert said it’s an im-portant policy for the board and doesn’t intend to limit trustees’ freedom of speech.

“We’re not the only board

that has a social media policy … and to think that we’re not allowing people to speak, I don’t see that,” she said. “We’re adults. Our students, our teachers, our principals adhere to this.”

Chairwoman Debbie En-gel said the policy, to her, is straightforward.

“I read this and it simply is saying use social media re-spectfully.

“Don’t say anything to so-cial media that you wouldn’t say to media.”

Along with trustee Ache-

son, trustees Larry Kow-alczyk and Trustee Patricia Grell also voted against the policy. Grell penned a blog post recently criticizing the board’s position on Gay-Straight Alliances. Leah hoLoiday/MetRo

Lottery

Edmonton lotto winner secures $15M prize with just one ticketOne Edmonton woman is $15 million richer after scoring it big on a Lotto Max ticket.

Mary Ann Estanislao pur-chased her winning $5 ticket from Winston’s City centre in Commerce Place and secured the prize on an Oct. 24 draw.

“I only ever buy one tick-et,” she said about her luck. “I believe that if you’re meant to win, you only need one.”

Estanislao said she plans on paying off her mortgage

and paying bills, as well as travelling.

The good samaritan also plans on donating some of her loot to a few charitable causes. MetRo

Education

Catholic board superintendent contract extendedEdmonton’s Catholic School Board voted Tuesday to extend the contract for CEO and superintendent Joan Carr

another two years.While the vote wasn’t

unanimous, the board passed the extension to Aug. 31, 2017.

Carr was first appointed superintendent in February 2006. According to board chairwoman Debbie Engel, Carr has helped take the ECS district to the next level of

education providers. “Joan is a true vision-

ary and her leadership has moved our district far beyond the 21st century,” she said in a release.

Carr had worked as a teacher, principal and school administrator before taking the role of superintendent. MetRo

Brian Malley

Victim’s caregiver cries on the stand at explosion trialThe caregiver of an Alberta woman who died when a pipe bomb disguised as a Christmas present exploded broke down during her testimony at the accused’s trial.

Brian Malley, who is 57, is charged with first-degree

murder in the death of Vic-toria Shachtay in November 2011.

The package had been left on the doorstep of Shachtay’s apartment in the town of Innisfail.

The caregiver narrowly missed being injured in the explosion.

She testified that she and Shachtay had been celebrating the night before because the caregiver be-came a permanent resident of Canada. the canadian press

Drayton Valley

Man arrested after pickup driven into RCMP detachmentCharges are pending after a man drove a stolen pickup truck into the side of an Alberta RCMP detachment.

Mounties in Drayton Val-ley, southwest of Edmonton, say the truck broke through a secure overhead door and caused extensive damage.

The driver then walked into the main part of the building and was taken into custody.

Police say drug use is suspected and they don’t believe the RCMP were be-ing targeted.

They believe the driver may be linked to recent instances of mischief, break and enter, vehicle theft and impaired driving.

The RCMP are still con-ducting their investigation.the canadian press

Body found lying in street

Edmonton homicide de-tectives are investigating the death of a young man, found early Wednesday morning in south Edmon-ton.

Just after 6:40 a.m., po-lice were called by EMS to 25 Avenue near 120 Street where they discovered the body of a man, who ap-peared to be in his 20s, on the street.

Officers pronounced him dead on scene and had 25 Avenue cordoned off Wed-nesday morning.

Scott Pattison, a spokes-man with Edmonton po-lice, called the area a “fresh crime scene,” noting police had yet to confirm cause of death or the man’s identity.

Police are now asking anyone with information or who live in the area to con-

tact EPS with details on the scene.

“If you had already left your residence for work and you’re hearing about this incident after the fact, please contact police if you have any information or can identify the male involved,” Pattison said.

Ken, a man living in the neighbourhood who asked his last name not be pub-lished, said there are a lot of young families in the area and newcomers to the country.

“It’s quite shocking,” he said, adding this was a very unusual thing for the com-munity. “I’ve never seen something like this before.”

Development. City to start land corporation The city appears poised to go into the land develop-ment business, after coun-cillors approved a suite of recommendations aimed at starting an arm’s-length de-velopment company.

Coun. Michael Oshry first raised the idea last year as a way to more effectively deal with surplus city assets and engage in city-building pro-jects.

“I am pleased this is mov-ing ahead. The trick now is to make sure it has the right pieces of land in there,” said Oshry after a council com-mittee approved the idea Tuesday.

Councillors have re-viewed a selection of city-owned land that could be the initial seed to the com-pany. As a standalone firm, the company would have greater flexibility to partner with other companies, pur-chase land or take on debt.

Other cites have similar firms, and Mayor Don Iveson said he believes it will be a good investment for the city.

“Where we have odd par-cels or places like Rossdale

or the research park, over time there is opportunity for an arm’s-length corpora-tion to move those projects a little faster and generate greater returns,” he said.

Gary Klassen, the city’s general manager of sus-tainable development, told councillors that over the long term there might be a need to find more land for the corporation, but the early land holdings will be a good start.

“Those land holdings we believe are probably good enough to have a good lift-off to this program,” he said. Ryan TumilTy/meTRo

Councillor suggests minor change to Churchill Square

One Edmonton councillor is hoping the construction for the Valley Line will make a minor tweak to Churchill Square along the way.

On Wednesday, members of city council got an update on how construction of the new line will work with the square. The line is designed to travel down 102nd Avenue, with a new LRT entrance in the square.

The new entrance will be on the southeast corner of the square, and Coun. Ben Hender-son wants the city to consider removing the existing stair-case on the southwest corner.

“The original plans had (the staircase) being closed and

taken out with (the southwest corner) being the big entrance to the square,” said Henderson.

He noted that at the time the square was redeveloped they found out the staircase was needed for safety, but with another staircase going in, it’s a chance to fix something.

“We were forced to keep that one in and put a new top on it, but it really does block your ability to see into the square,” he said.

The construction of the line will force some closures in the square for 19 months between 2016 and 2018, including the closure of 99th Street between 102nd Avenue and 102A Av-enue.

Coun. Scott McKeen en-couraged city staff to make sure they consulted with or-ganizations in the area to keep the disruptions to a minimum and listen to people’s concerns.

“It strikes me that some-times we tell people how we are going to go out and impact them, rather than asking,” he said.

A government of Alberta airplane is shown in a handout photo. It is one of four aircraft being sold by the province as part of a promise made by Premier Jim Prentice after the Alison Redford spending scandal. the canadian Press

No bids yet on Alberta planes

Alberta’s infamous govern-ment planes have seen a steady jet-stream of interest since being put up for sale in mid-December, but there have been no official bids on any of the aircraft to date.

Keeping a promise made by Premier Jim Prentice, the province put its four planes up for sale Dec. 12.

As of Wednesday, there had been 40 “inquiries” about the aircraft, meaning, basically, that many people

had downloaded the pur-chase documents from an online website.

It wasn’t clear how many of the inquiries, which came from as close as Edmonton and as far away as India and Algeria, stemmed from media organizations and how many were actually from legitimately interested airplane buffs, said Service Alberta spokesperson Eoin Kenny.

Still, he said the province is confident the airplanes will fetch the asking prices.

“Basically, when you put an invitation to tender, it can be a crapshoot,” Kenny said. “But we are getting some widespread interest ... anybody that’s going to drop that kind of money on a plane isn’t going to just get

the package and say ‘That’s the one I want.’ They’re go-ing to do their due diligence — finding out the flight rec-ord, the safety record, the air worthiness — kick the tires, as it were.”

U of A researchers look at childhood obesityU of A researcher Geoff Ball will lead a national team in studying severe childhood obesity. The five-year, $1.6 million project will involve several studies and interactions of the complex issue, estimated to affect 8 to 10 per cent of the 30 per cent of Canadian kids already classified as obese.

“We need to understand this group — we know severe obes-ity can lead to Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and psycho-so-cial issues, but we want to find ways to reach children and their families — what are the barriers to care? And why do up to half

of those referred for treatment not attend?” said Ball, adding that severe obesity affects most-ly Caucasian children of every socio-economic level, but also immigrant groups and First Na-tions children too.

“We focus on creating a healthy community, with after-school cooking classes and breakfast and lunch programs,” adds Wolf Kolb, principal at Bal-win School in the city’s north-east.

Christopher Phillips, arrested Wednesday after the dramatic overnight evacuation of an Ottawa hotel, has a past that includes an acrimonious split from a former Olympic gym-nast and a bankruptcy marked by debts of nearly $4.7 million.

It appears Phillips has links to the U.S. military. Bank-ruptcy documents say that he received tens of thousands of dollars in “military disability” payments between 2006 and 2008.

Ottawa police arrested Phil-lips, 42, on the sixth floor of the east-end Chimo Hotel as part of an overnight investiga-tion linked to the evacuation of two areas in Halifax where police found a large quantity of mysterious chemicals — some of which they’ve described as “volatile” and “dangerous.”

Police in Ottawa carefully and quietly evacuated the hotel under cover of dark-ness before arresting the man without incident Wednesday morning. Phillips has not been charged.

Neither the RCMP nor Ot-tawa police have identified Phillips — an ophthalmologist

by trade — but the manager of his ex-wife said police told her the suspect’s identity.

Nick Furris said Shannon Miller, a former Olympic gym-nast for the U.S., was told by police that her ex-husband was arrested in the incident.

“Upon hearing the recent news surrounding Christo-pher Phillips, my prayers im-mediately go to the safety of those around him,” Miller said

in a statement.“I’m thankful that the

brave men and women of the Ottawa police department and other law enforcement agen-cies were able to apprehend him and defuse the situation.”

Phillips and Miller were married in a lavish ceremony in Oklahoma City in June 1999. The nuptials — covered by People magazine and the television show Extra — fea-

tured many of her teammates from the squad that won the team gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

The marriage lasted only seven years. Miller filed for divorce in May 2004 in Mas-sachusetts, proceedings that dragged on for two years. In 2008 Phillips closed his laser eye surgery business in Seattle and filed for bankruptcy. The Canadian press

ex-workers abetted theft: royal BankRoyal Bank of Canada is ac-cusing two former employ-ees who worked at a Vancou-ver branch of orchestrating a pair of robberies worth more than $200,000.

The bank has filed a civil suit in B.C. Supreme Court, alleging Jeffrey Ho Nam Lau and Maradona Hoang Vu helped an accomplice steal more than $180,000 and $20,000 US from a vault. The alleged accomplice, Hau Ngoc Nguyen, is also named in the lawsuit.

None of the allegations have been proven in court and the men named in the civil suit have not been charged, though Vancouver police are investigating.

The bank’s statement of claim says the money was stolen on two occasions, first on Dec. 30, 2013, and then on Jan. 31, 2014, while Lau

and Vu both worked at the branch. The pair were also roommates, the document says.

The statement of claim al-leges the pair copied a vault key and then shared lock combinations. The section of the vault that contains most of the branch’s cash requires the key and both combina-tions, but the bank’s secur-ity policies are designed to ensure no single employee knows both combinations.

The bank alleges the pair helped Nguyen, who was a friend or an associate, set up a safety deposit box in the bank, which is located in the same area as the vault.

During the first theft, the bank alleges Vu led Nguyen to the vault area under the pretence of accessing the safety deposit box. Instead, the bank alleges, they used

the copied key and lock com-binations to steal $62,500, which Nguyen carried away in a bag.

The bank says it noticed the theft soon after, but it didn’t know who took the money.

The lock combinations were changed the following month and handed out to the branch staff, including Lau and Vu.

On Jan. 31, the bank al-leges, Nguyen entered the branch wearing a disguise. The statement of claim al-leges Lau led Nguyen to the vault area, again under the pretence of accessing the safety deposit box, where they stole $120,000 and $20,000.

By mid-February, the bank had determined Lau and Vu were behind the rob-beries, says the statement of

claim. They were fired in late March.

“The termination was for cause and RBC informed both Lau and Vu that the ter-mination was due to their perpetration of the thefts,” says the bank’s statement of claim.

“Lau and Vu did not, and have not subsequently, dis-puted the validity of the ter-mination.”

The statement of claim says police arrested Lau and Vu in March 2014 and found $11,000 in a safety deposit box that Nguyen maintained at a different bank.

Vancouver police con-firmed no charges have been laid but otherwise declined to comment further.

Lau and Nguyen filed court documents denying all of the allegations.The Canadian press

‘Army of spinsters’ defies Saudi traditions

Amna Fatani knows she wants a brilliant career and a life differ-

ent from that of Saudi women of her mother’s generation, who married early, usually to a husband they didn’t choose.

The 27-year-old, studying for her master’s degree at George-town University in Washington is part of a growing number of Saudi women choosing to re-main single through their 20s and into their 30s.

The trend has ruffled ultraconservatives who see it

as an affront to the very foun-dations of the kingdom, which operates under strict interpret-ations of Islam and rigid tribal codes in relation to women.

The growing number of single women has alarmed clerics, who have responded by pushing for early marriage and warning of alleged evil consequences of “the army of spinsters,” such as sex outside wedlock.

During a 2005 sermon, the imam of Mecca’s Grand Mosque, Abdul-Rahman As-Sudais, raised an early outcry against “the dangerous phe-nomenon of life-long spinster-hood,” saying it endangers “the community as a whole.”

Some Saudi media have joined the clerics in hand-wringing over — as one news-paper put it — “the army of spinsters.” the ASSociAted preSS

Indonesia’s top accident in-vestigator said Wednesday that there are no indications of foul play in last month’s crash of an AirAsia jetliner carrying 162 people.

AirAsia Flight 8501 plunged into the Java Sea on Dec. 28 shortly after the pilots asked to climb from 32,000 feet to 38,000 feet to avoid threatening clouds, but were denied permission because of heavy air traffic. No distress signal was re-ceived.

The plane was en route from Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, to Singa-pore.

National Transporta-tion Safety Committee head Tatang Kurniadi said inves-tigators have downloaded all of the data from the air-craft’s cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder and are analyzing them along with advisers from Airbus, the plane’s manufacturer.

One of the committee’s investigators, Nurcahyo Utomo, said Tuesday that no voices have been detected on

the cockpit voice recorder other than those of the pilot and co-pilot, and no explo-sions were heard.

Transport Minister Igna-sius Jonan told Parliament on Tuesday that radar data showed that the plane was climbing at an abnormally high rate — about 6,000 feet a minute — then dropped rapidly and disappeared.

“It is not normal to climb like that; it’s very rare for commercial planes, which normally climb just 1,000 to 2,000 feet per minute,” he said.

“It can only be done by a fighter jet.”

He did not say what caused the plane to climb so rapidly. the ASSociAted preSS

Canadian homeowners have likely gained a reprieve from an expected increase in mort-gage rates this year.

Economists expect rates to dip slightly in response to the Bank of Canada’s sur-prise move Wednesday to cut its trend-setting interest rate to 0.75 per cent, from one per cent, to soften the blow of dropping oil prices on the Canadian economy.

“This signals that low in-terest rates will be with us a while longer,” said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist at CIBC World Markets, not-ing the central bank’s rate cut will likely mean a cor-responding 0.25 drop in vari-able, or floating, mortgage rates.

Fixed-rate mortgages are also likely to see a slight de-cline, as they follow bond yields, which will move lower in response to the rate cut.

However, TD Bank was quick to announce Wednes-day that it will maintain its prime interest rate at three per cent, noting that factors beyond the central bank in-fluence its rates.

“Not only do we operate in a competitive environment, but our prime rate is influ-

enced by the broader eco-nomic environment, and its impact on credit,” the bank said in a statement.

Although cheaper mort-gage rates are likely to buoy real estate markets in Cen-tral and Atlantic Canada, TD economist Craig Alexander says the impact of oil prices will trump interest rates in Western Canada.

“I think it’s inevitable that you’re going to see a pullback in sales and a softening in price growth in real estate in oil-rich provinces because, at the end of the day, income growth in those provinces is

going to be a lot less,” he said.However, the rate cut may

also spur Canadians, who have been criticized previous-ly by the Bank of Canada for holding record levels of debt, to borrow more money.

“I think in the Bank of Canada’s eyes right now, it’s a lesser of two evils,” Shenfeld said. They’ve shown discom-fort with the amount of bor-rowing Canadians have done, but the economy right now can’t afford to shut the tap off on that if we’re not get-ting the lift to growth from the energy sector.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Internet. 4chan founder retiringThe American founder of the popular, if at times notorious, online message board 4chan is retiring as its administrator.

Christopher Poole launch-ed the site in 2003 when he was 15 years old. 4chan lets users post messages and photos anonymously. Since its launch, 1.7 billion posts have been published on 4chan.

It has more than 1.2 million daily visitors, Poole said.

Poole, known on the site as “Moot,” said in a post on 4chan’s news blog that a team of volunteers will take on his responsibilities. He said run-ning the site on his own has been challenging and 4chan will continue without him and that he will take time

away to decompress. The site is where hack-

ers deposited nude celebrity photos over the summer. It’s also the birthplace of the hacker collective Anonym-ous. Over the years, 4chan has been called a home to cyber bullying as well as do-gooder vigilante justice.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The rate cut is expected to lead to decreased mortgage rates, which could boost sales and prices of homes in Canada. However, economists fear it may also spur Canadians, who have been criticized previously for holding record levels of debt, to borrow more money. TorsTar News service file

Streaming TV. Apple shuts out CraveTV appRead through the tweets posted by CraveTV and Shomi and you’ll see suggestions that users might finally get Apple TV apps to access the Can-adian streaming services.

If it was up to Bell Media, CraveTV would have launched with an Apple TV app, so users could stream content to their big screen TVs easily.

But Apple didn’t allow it to happen.

“I’d love to say we have an app coming on Apple TV but we don’t. This is Apple’s strategy,” said Jon Taylor, vice-president of digital products and strategy for Bell Media, at the CraveTV launch.

While Apple openly wel-comes software developers from around the world to cre-ate apps for its iPhones and iPads, only a small club of companies have been given access to the Apple TV plat-form.

Netflix is among them, to the frustration of Bell Media, and Shomi’s parent compan-ies Rogers and Shaw.

“They’ve said (to us), ‘We’re discussing our international

strategy, we’ll get back to you’ — and that’s about all you get from Apple,” said Taylor.

Taylor hopes CraveTV and other Bell Media properties will be at the top of the list if and when Apple decides to open its platform up to more companies.

At CraveTV’s launch in De-cember, Taylor had targeted the early part of this year for integration with Google’s Apple TV competitor, the Chromecast. He also said Roku devices will be supported “this year for sure.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

VOICES

Electroshock Therapy, Ring of Fire, Arctic Enema: These sound more like incidents that might have been redacted from the Sen-ate Torture Report than recreational activ-ities taken up on a volunteer basis, but for Tough Mudder participants, that’s kind of the point, in both prosaic and profound ways.

With challenges like crawling under barbed wire, running up and down hills for kilometres and swimming completely sub-merged in ice water, organizers for the al-ready-gruelling obstacle course announced recently that they are upping the ante this year by adding a tear gas component.

Margaret MacNeill, a professor who stud-ies the social and cultural aspects of sports and activity through the University of To-ronto, says Tough Mudder getting even tougher is a pushback against a risk-averse safety culture that has crept into the rest of our recreational activities.

“Events like Tough Mudder have become popular in a culture where sports are one of the last bastions of masculinity,” she says. “I suspect the lack of hesitation to entering — when most adults likely anticipate pain, ag-onizing eye irritation and potential injury while blinded — has lots to do with mascu-linity in risk sports and/or using these events to prove ‘rugged individualism,’ re-gardless of gender.”

She says we can see this when we look at the public debate surrounding hockey con-cussions. “In the past it was this unfettered

culture of risk: You know, kids can take it; boys can take it harder,” she says. “Now what we see is that, as people worry about all the long-term health issues, hockey is being re-negotiated into a culture of precaution.”

Gavin Weedon, a PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia whose re-search looks at mud running events like Tough Mudder as part of a renaissance of physical culture, agrees Mudder taps into

the desire for risk and masculine bravado, but says the practice can also act on a far more profound level. “One of my most in-teresting findings is that these events act as material infrastructures, and potent metaphor, through which some people confront and overcome physical and emo-tional traumas sustained beyond the con-fines of the course.”

In other words, perhaps the reason it

sounds like torture is because on a person-al level, by forcing participants to con-front and relive pain in their lives, it can seem close to it. Weedon stays away from the torture metaphor but says many par-ticipants have described the practice in therapeutic terms.

“A friend of mine injured her back in a car accident and chronicled her recovery through training for, and participating in, Tough Mudder, alongside friends and family. These aren’t the most common stories, perhaps, but they are among the most intriguing.”

While Tough Mudder promotes a ‘tough guy’ image, this isn’t necessarily the in-tended audience. Weedon says the run aims to reach “urban white-collar profes-sionals and young people, especially men, with disposable income and recreational time to do something like this.” While all types might show up to events, “white men are consistently well represented.”

It is significant then, that the intermin-gling of growth and pain offered by Mud-der and aimed directly at men has no shortage of decidedly feminine meta-phors: One event is called Birth Canal, while the tear gas portion, touted as the toughest obstacle yet, has been given the name Cry Baby. And a mudder, of course, is a mother.

Many people also describe these events in torturous terms, but unlike actual tor-ture, it is something people take on volun-tarily and comes with great reward, much like childbirth.

And there is no mudder tougher than that.

Tough Mudder events are rife with militaristic metaphors, amongst others. Getty ImaGes

Tougher Than a mudder While events like Tough Mudder sell pain and injury in a fetishized, almost satiric way, the lived experience of the mud runs go far deeper than mere masculine showmanship

WHy I’ll never do a mud race

“Hell, no.” This is my reaction every time someone says, “You should do Tough Mud-der with us next year.” No, no, no. Thank you, but no.

I don’t hate exercise. I’ll join the sweat-your-face-off-then-swoon-in-the-locker-room class at the gym, or run home from work to save the transit fare. I don’t balk at pain. I gritted my teeth through days of labour.

But I draw the line at the gruelling army boot camp that is Tough Mudder, because from what I can tell, it’s five hours of tor-ture, followed by a flash of joy at the end. The hell-to-joy ratio just doesn’t entice me.

I understand that people are driven to test their physical and psychological limits; to be able to boast, “I know what it feels like to get slapped in the face with an elec-

tric tendril, go down like a felled tree, then get up and keep going.”

But no matter how euphoric it is to cross the finish line arm-in-arm with your battered, bruised and muddy compatriots, I’ll still pass. I’ll pass on the ice bath, the cleats in the face, the 17 lung-bursting kilo-metres running up and down a ski hill.

I have no burning need to see if I can tolerate tear gas, shimmy through a slimy narrow tunnel, or run across kerosene-soaked flaming straw. I have no interest in proving I can do these things because, frankly, they sound horrible (and vaguely dangerous). And I don’t thrill at doing horrible (and vaguely dangerous) things for fun on a Saturday. So this year, like last, I’ll cheer my loved ones from the sidelines (or home, depending on the weather). I’ll apply Tiger balm to my husband’s de-stroyed muscles and marvel at his strength and endurance. And I will regret nothing.

I signed up for the Tough Mudder last sum-mer because I like pushing myself: Doing something difficult requires a singular focus that my normal busy, multitasking day lacks.

Plus there’s the pride thing. “This looks hard, Jess, do you think you can do it?” I ask me. “Ya damn right I can,” I answer.

There was also this editor who has an enthusiasm for insane physical feats that is impossible to deny. He helped organize a group of colleagues, of varying levels of fitness, to do it together and agree to stick together, so no one would be left behind. So, it turned out that the Tough Mudder wasn’t really about me, or my limits. It was a group bonding thing.

In a big office, you don’t really know the people who work in a different depart-

ment, on a different floor, but after they work together to boost your butt over a mud slicked wall, you do.

When a colleague, friend or stranger on the course sees you at your worst — cold and tired beyond pride, mud-covered, out of breath, falling down, crying — and helps you with dignity, it’s hard not to like them. On the Mudder course, there’s always another obstacle, and you’ll turn around and offer them a hand.

So if it sounds like a good idea know this: Yes, the electric shock thing hurts like hell. The ice bath, not so bad. The obstacles are mostly fun, it’s the hills that kill you. As for the tear gas, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll find out.

And, those psychological studies that show pain promotes bonding — the sort of togetherness soldiers experience in basic training?

They’re not wrong.

Drummer Marky Ramone may not have been a found-ing member of the Ramon-es, but his impact on the band’s legacy — and the punk movement as a whole — is hard to deny. Even so, some critics still dismiss him for not being an “ori-ginal” member of the iconic band.

“Being in the Ramon-es for 15 years and 1,700 shows, I felt it was time to tell my story,” says Marky (whose real name is Marc Bell).

For Bell, that story is being told in a new mem-oir aptly titled, Punk Rock Blitzkrieg: My Life as a Ra-mone. Bell admittedly pulls no punches in the book, which he wrote with author Rich Herschlag.

“It is the most compre-hensive book out there about the band,” says Bell.

Readers can expect a fly-on-the-wall take of what it was like to be alongside the Ramones during the height of the cult phenom-enon known as punk rock. The book covers everything from hanging out with other punk luminaries at the legendary CBGBs, to ob-serving the famously tense relationship between Joey and Johnny Ramone.

“The book reads a little like fiction and a little like a travel log,” says Hersch-lag, who compares the feel of the memoir to Jack Ker-ouac’s On the Road. “We wanted to make people feel like they were there.”

According to Herschlag, the book provides a more intimate snapshot of the band. For example, the fact

that Joey Ramone had obses-sive-compulsive disorder is no secret. But few know the extent to which his OCD af-fected the band as a whole. Herschlag recalls one story from the book where Bell talks about Joey’s compul-sive need to tap things.

“After their 1980 album End of the Century, they flew to England, and (Joey) wouldn’t get off the plane because he wanted to fly back to tap something in

New York,” says Herschlag. Other times, the band

would be late for gigs be-cause of Joey’s need to run across the street to tap a curb. According to Hersch-lag, this only fueled the palpable tension between Johnny and Joey.

Personal rivalries aside, the book also takes a hard look at Bell’s battle with al-coholism, which ultimately led to his departure from the band for four years dur-

ing the ’80s. Herschlag says that Bell’s journey to sobri-ety was a powerful one.

Herschlag’s personal connection to the Ramones is a unique story in itself. Growing up in Forest Hills, Queens in the 1970s, Her-schlag was coincidentally raised in the same building as a construction worker-slash-musician named John Cummings (aka Johnny Ra-mone).

“At the time, I was like

10 years old and throw-ing water balloons off the roof,” says Herschlag, who remembers leather-clad band members frequently coming in and out of John-ny’s apartment. “It became known, even before they re-leased an album, that there was this rock band in our building.”

The fact that Hersch-lag landed a gig co-writing Marky Ramone’s memoir decades later was complete-ly serendipitous.

Either way, he’s thrilled to be bringing Bell’s stor-ies to life. There are even talks of an in-the-works re-ality show that would docu-ment what the aging punk rocker’s everyday life is like these days.

After disbanding in 1996, the Ramones were later in-ducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. The punk pioneers also re-ceived a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Today Bell serves as a global ambassador for punk rock with his band, Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg. The group travels everywhere from Russia to Vietnam playing Ramones songs to a new generation of loyal fans.

“I’m the last link to the last four (Ramones),” says Bell. “My aim is to continue to play the music live be-cause I feel the songs are too good not to be played.”

Homeland star heads home to become king

For some Homeland fans, it will be hard to imagine trea-sonous sleeper agent Nicholas Brody as King Henry VIII in Wolf Hall on PBS.

Heck, most fans likely don’t know that the all-American marine portrayed so ably by Damian Lewis is actually Brit-ish. Lewis, along with his per-fect American accent, was con-vincing enough in his portrayal of the tough, conflicted charac-ter to win both an Emmy and a Golden Globe. Now he gets to play the most quintessential of British monarchs.

“Henry as a brand is right up there with Coca-Cola,” says Lewis at the Television Critics Association conference.

“The scholarship in the book is absolutely true and ac-curate. And it’s a reimagined

world in which she (author Hilary Mantel) just gets in be-hind closed doors with these characters. I think Henry is a capricious, mercurial man and a man who I hope, in this ren-dering of him, isn’t simply the syphilitic, philandering Elvis that people have tended to think he is. Actually, he was a more complex man than that.”

The six-part series, which starts April 5, is based on Man-tel’s Wolf Hall, the Man Booker Prize-winning historical novel set in 1520 that charts the rise of Thomas Cromwell to power during the reign of Henry VIII.

Cromwell, born to a work-ing-class family, would become the most powerful adviser to the king during a turbulent era that included the Protestant reformation.

Lewis did some research for the role and discovered that the king was rather vain, in-cluding the fact that he liked to show off his calves.

“They basically put me

in leggings, so I don’t get to show them off that much,” joked Lewis. “But Henry was a man who actually sought out and pursued romantic love. He wanted the normalizing

experience of courtship. He liked to write love poems, son-nets. He wanted a woman that he could fall in love with and would fall in love with him. It was a normalizing experience that he sought.”

The Masterpiece Theatre series has an all-star team, in-cluding veteran theatre and Tony Award-winner Mark Rylance playing Cromwell and director Peter Kosminsky, who directed Ralph Fiennes in Wuthering Heights.

“Peter shoots it in such a beautiful, unfussy, unpresen-tational way, it’s very im-mediate,” says Lewis. “So the camera is very still. Rather than just hard cuts and music scores, which is a sort of macho, quick, you know, mus-cular way of moving through a film, the film has an incredible sensuality to it.

“You just start to hear people breathing, and you get the rustle of the clothing, and you start to smell the room and feel the candlelight. And that was something that struck me when I watched it. It was a pleasurable experience.”TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Won’t roasting Justin Bieber just be a typical day for him?

When Comedy Central took over roasting duties from the Friars Club, it kept the original spirit of lampooning legends toward the end of their careers. Well, they’re putting that tradition behind them with the announced roast of: Justin

Bieber. Hoo boy. “Justin has been asking

us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept tell-ing him to go create more source material first. We’re thrilled he listened,” says

Comedy Central exec Kent Alter-

man.

Of course, maybe they were just waiting until he could (legally) get liquored up for the televised take-down, as the roast will take place shortly after his 21st birthday.

But this all begs the question: Isn’t roasting Bieber redundant, consid-ering any and all coverage of him over the past few years?

Jenner drops home school for her career

Apparently, one of the perks of being home-schooled is you can just up and quit it without the local govern-ment getting persnickety.

That’s exactly what Kylie Jenner, the youngest and most vulnerable of the Jenner-Kardashian brood, did, insisting that getting an education was too much of a distraction.

“Kylie quit home-school-ing a few months ago. She told her mom it was getting ‘in the way’ of her career, and that she wanted to focus her energies on building her personal brand and making money,” a source tells Life & Style of the 17-year-old.

And apparently mom and manager Kris Jenner “gave in,” which makes sense since she’s totally into the whole “building a personal brand and making money” thing.

Kris, in fact, “feels the girls are smart and savvy and they don’t need a piece of paper to show that.”

Well, as long as she’s feel-ing it, who are we to judge?

The controversial film that nearly destroyed Sony is coming to the stream-ing service this weekend. The film has raked in more than $40 million in digital sales in the past month plus $6 million from its very limited theatrical run. That pushes its gross return past its $44-million

LIFE

Long before he was dressing ce-lebrities for the red carpet, Can-adian stylist Brad Goreski cred-its trail-blazing homegrown series Fashion Television and host Jeanne Beker for helping nurture his budding interest in style.

“When I was a kid watching TV every Sunday night, my dad would kind of cringe when he heard the theme song of Fash-ion TV come on, but I watched it religiously,” recalled Goreski of the now-defunct series which aired for 27 years.

“She was really my window into the world of fashion. I learned so much from her and for her dedication to reporting the latest in fashion, getting right to the designer, asking them the important questions. That was really the beginning.”

The Port Perry, Ont., native said his family was also a key source of support, as he re-called wearing “crazy outfits” to school and being obsessed with fashion magazines.

“Growing up in a small town and encouraged to be who I was and to really culti-vate those skills and not try to shut them down has led me to be able to do the things that I’ve become very successful at — and that, to me, is such a gift,” said Goreski.

Goreski has styled notable leading ladies including Jessica Alba, Noomi Rapace, Christina Ricci and Demi Moore. At the recent Golden Globes, he styled Downton Abbey star and best supporting actress winner Jo-anne Froggatt in a strapless, embellished Marchesa gown, and also dressed actress Jenna

Dewan Tatum (wife of Fox-catcher star Channing Tatum) in a buttery yellow Carolina Herrera creation.

The Los Angeles-based

Goreski is now adding fashion critique to his repertoire, dish-ing on and dissecting celebrity style as the newest panellist on Fashion Police, which airs

Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on E!. Goreski and new show host Kathy Griffin join series vets Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana

Rancic on the four-member panel.

A recent episode devoted to assessing styles from the Gold-en Globe Awards was the first since the death of host Joan Rivers last September at age 81 following complications from surgery.

Goreski said this season will feature 17 episodes

and will mostly be built around red-carpet events like the upcom-ing Screen Actors Guild Awards, Grammys and

Oscars. He said they also plan to bring back past seg-ments that fans love in addition to introducing new ones into the mix.

“The heart of the show and

the legacy Joan put in place is still there. We want to honour that, but we also want to bring a fresh perspective,” said Goreski.

“The show must go on, and I think that people can still expect very honest com-mentary and cri-tique of what’s happening on the red carpet.

Lots of laughs.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

One stylish set

A little Goreski goes a long wayGoreski says he sees Fashion Police as a prime opportunity to combine his expertise as a stylist and knowledge acquired over years in fashion with his love of entertain-ment. He also seeks to share insight with viewers about why he sees a particular look as a hit or miss.

“I know how much work goes into getting a celebrity ready for the red carpet, and so I never really want to come off as being hypercritical ... just saying: ‘The look doesn’t look great.’ ...

“That’s what I hope I can bring every week: lots of humour and lots of fun, but also maybe help people see things and actually develop a critical eye as opposed to just saying: ‘Oh, I thought she looked terrible.”’

PATRIOTIC PARKAS

MELISSA DUNNEfor Metro

Parkas made in the Great White North are currently hotter than a fresh cup of joe from Tim Hortons.

On a bone-chilling after-noon a line of cars waits to park at high-end lifestyle re-tailer Sporting Life. Inside, most shoppers make a beeline for the racks of Canada Goose parkas. Rival made-in-Canada brands like Moose Knuckles also attract interest. Many cus-tomers will eventually get in line to shell out hundreds (and sometimes north of $1,000) for a down-filled coat.

Despite the hefty price tags everyone from students to seniors has bought in.

So have retailers. At Sport-ing Life, Canada Goose prod-ucts are always front-and-centre at its midtown Toronto store, even in the middle of July. The Ontario chain has recently grown and is set to expand west to Calgary next year.

Canada Goose, which start-ed in 1957, has taken celebrat-ing Canadian connections to new heights. Our country is in its name and a map of the Arctic is on its logo. The brand may have finally hit peak Can-adian earlier this season when it teamed up for a second time with Drake for a capsule col-lection.

Branding parkas as sym-bols of Canadiana chic has paid off. Canada Goose has opened a new 96,000-square-foot factory in Toronto, doub-

ling its previous production capacity, and it expanded its Winnipeg facility last fall.

“In terms of cold weath-er apparel, we are a world leader,” says Marilyn McNeil-Morin, chair of the School of Fashion Studies at George Brown College.

We Canucks are known for knowing how to stay warm in cold climates. Centuries be-fore Canada Goose hit it big, Canadian companies such as Hudson’s Bay Company were famous for selling furs, Mc-Neil-Morin points out.

These days most of the winter gear we buy, from toques to coats to boots, is made somewhere else. Buy-ing parkas actually still made in our home and native land is an easy way to show others the depth of our true patriot love.

“We like supporting local jobs and our manufacturing economy,” adds McNeil-Morin.

The fashion expert also notes that the quality of coats made here is usually higher than those made overseas.

We are clearly buying the Buy Canada message.

You can’t hit the ice rink or the coffee shop without seeing a sea of red-and-white logos. The ubiquity has bred a backlash. Activists have called the parka-makers that use real fur and feathers “cruel.” And some of us would rather shiv-er than wear what everyone else is wearing.

Upstarts have cropped up for the hipster set looking for a homegrown alternative. More subtle brands like OSC Cross have obviously taken a few pages from the Canada Goose patriotic playbook. OSC has named many of its coats after some of our cities and towns, such as the St. John’s coat.

Parkas made at home are now both “cool and practical,” says McNeil-Morin. What could be more Canadian than that, eh?

It’s only fi tting that we should make it through a Canadian winter by bundling up in Canadian-

designed coats. And plenty of homegrown parka-makers are here to help us out

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will represent the Oilers at the NHL All-Star Game this week-end and he was certainly a game-changer Tuesday night, scoring the tying goal late in order to send the game into extra time. Edmonton would defeat Washington in the shootout thanks to Teddy Purcell, and the manner in which the Oilers triumphed was just as important as the two points.

It probably does not surprise you that Edmon-ton has had a rough go of things once the team gets down a goal or two, and the statistics really bear this out. The victory over the Caps represented just the second time Edmonton has won a game while trailing after the second period this season, versus 21 defeats and two losses in extra time. Incred-ibly, the Oilers are slightly worse when trailing after one period, coming back just once this season and falling 14 times with three losses in extra time.

Thanks to the win over Washington, Edmonton vault-ed its way into the middle of the NHL pack when it comes to third-period comebacks, though with such a small variance between teams (they are now tied at two victories with seven other franchises), it’s not lock-down science.

But taking that stat and marrying it with the overall

state of the team naturally leads to the conclusion that this squad has some fragility to it.

That’s going to be a big task for coach Todd Nelson over the rest of the season and for the organization beyond that. As I’ve said in this space before, the young Oilers core has been exposed to a lot of losing during its tenure and that can have a slumped-shoulder effect when things go wrong. The fact Nugent-Hopkins assisted on a goal while the Oilers

were trailing against the Caps before burying the equalizer himself speaks great volumes about his resolve: This could have been just another game where Edmonton got soaked by a team with stronger firepower (i.e. Alex Ovechkin,

who still had a great offensive night himself).

Perhaps the timing here is kismet: Nugent-Hopkins was there when his squad needed him and now he’ll head to Columbus, where he’ll be surrounded by the best players on the planet, many of whom have Stanley Cups and individual awards on their resumés. You won’t find any slumped shoulders at the all-star game and that will be a nice atmosphere for ‘The Nuge’ to marinate in for a couple days.

CSI of PSI: Patriots under investigation

Head coach Bill Belichick and his New England Patriots are under investigation for tampering with the footballs before Sunday’s AFC championship game in Foxborough, Mass. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had his worst game as a pro, completing only 12 of 33 passesfor 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. Matt SlocuM/the aSSociated PReSS

Add underinflated footballs to the list of incidents giving Bill Belichick a reputation for guile and playing above the rules.

Softer footballs wouldn’t explain all of a rout that earned the New England Patri-ots a spot in the Super Bowl. But it’s another example of Belichick’s reputation for searching for edges and bend-ing any rules until he gets caught.

Vague injury reports. Spygate. Signing players with intel on opponents. And now, an open NFL investigation

into whether the team cheat-ed during its AFC champion-ship win.

“Because it’s the Patriots and they have a history, that brings in a different issue,” former All-Pro running back Jerome Bettis said on ESPN. “There’s some type of cul-ture there that’s conducive to cheating and that’s a prob-lem.”

Team officials on Wednes-day did not respond to a re-quest for comment from Beli-chick, quarterback Tom Brady or team owner Robert Kraft.

Belichick no longer gets the benefit of the doubt, even among those who think he’s the best coach in the league. Earlier this month, Hall of Fame coach Don Shula called him “Beli-cheat.”

It all traces back to a repu-tation for gamesmanship that blossomed after the three-time Super Bowl winner’s last title in 2004.

In 2007, Belichick was fined $500,000 and the team was fined $250,000 and stripped of its 2008 first-round draft choice by the NFL for videotaping New York Jets signals during a 2007 game.

At the time, opponents won-dered whether he taped prac-tices, too.

Last year, Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine suggested Belichick might have gotten a copy of the Jets playbook through Alabama coach Nick Saban, an accusation denied by Saban and then-Jets coach Rex Ryan.

Belichick has signed play-ers days before the Patriots faced their former team, open-ing up new avenues of intel. Six days before the opener against Miami this season, a 33-20 loss, the Patriots signed safety Don Jones a day after he was cut by the Dolphins. He played nine games for New England before being cut and re-signing with the Dolphins.

The NFL continued its in-vestigation Wednesday into whether the Patriots snuck un-derinflated footballs into their 45-7 win against the Colts.

ESPN reported Tuesday night, citing anonymous sources, that the NFL found 11 of 12 footballs provided by the Patriots were not properly in-flated, while balls used by the Colts on offence met league standards. The AssociATed Press

NFL playoffs. Belichick has been known for reinterpreting rules throughout his career

Ball protocol

• Chainofcustody. Footballs are delivered to the of-ficials’ dressing room two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. The ref inspects each one, with a pump provided by the home team to adjust air pressure as needed. Balls must have at least 12.5 PSI and no more than 13.5 PSI.

• Therefrules. The ref is the judge of whether a ball is fit for play and marks each one approved for the game. The rule says the footballs “shall remain under the supervision of the referee until they are delivered to the ball attendant just prior to the start of the game.” A key question is whether the balls improperly passed inspection or were either switched or tampered with after inspection.

• Potentialpunishment. Commissioner Roger Goodell has latitude. This offence includes a fine as low as $25,000 for anyone deemed responsible for tampering, even if it’s the head coach. Goodell could also strip the team of draft picks, suspend people for “unfair acts,” and reverse a game’s result or resched-ule a game.

Sherman confident he’ll playAll-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman still expects to play

in the Super Bowl despite injuring his left elbow in the NFC championship game.

“That’s my story and I’m sticking to it,” Sherman said Wednesday.

Sherman said his elbow

is “better than” in the fourth quarter of Seattle’s overtime win over Green Bay. Injured early in the fourth, he played the rest of the game with his left arm pinned against his chest. The AssociATed Press The turf war is over, with a

group of elite women’s players withdrawing its human-rights complaint over artificial turf at this summer’s Women’s World Cup in Canada.

The women did not exit quietly, however. Their lawyer slammed FIFA and the Can-adian Soccer Association, say-ing both governing bodies had behaved badly in the face of the challenge before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.

Lawyer Hampton Dellinger accused the soccer authorities of threatening players with sus-pension, delaying legal tactics and rejecting the players’ “un-

deniably fair settlement offer.”“The players are doing what

FIFA and CSA have proven in-capable of: putting the sport of soccer first,” he said. The play-ers also said their challenge had
