Electronic ballots and touch-screen voting for Advance Votingstations could be piloted duringthe 2013 municipal election,according to a report heading forcity council on Wednesday.

“I certainly would like to see usexplore it,” Coun. Ben Hendersonsaid yesterday. “The hope wouldbe that it would make it more con-venient and easier for people.”

The city has had electronic votecounting for a number of years,said Henderson, referring to theintroduction of vote tabulatorsduring the 1989 municipal elec-tion, but ballots are still cast inperson on paper.

E-voting includes Internet vot-ing on a dedicated website, elec-tronic ballots usually sent throughemail and telephone voting where

a secure access code is followedby a series of prompts.

“I think it’s a great idea if theycan work out the logistics of it,”said Coun. Tony Caterina, addingit could increase the number ofvoters in younger demographics.

Both he and Henderson said itwould be necessary to ensure thatthe technology is sound, and theresults fair and equitable.

A report on the feasibility ofthe technology, along with e-vot-ing options, costs and use will bepresented to councillors next fall.

Henderson said it’s likely to becostly at first but that savings willcome in the long run.

Whether any e-voting occurs in2013 remains to be seen, but Cate-rina said it’s an inevitable step totake.

“Certainly not just municipal-ities, but provincial and federallythis is going to be a viable way ofvoting.”

It seems University of Al-berta students are not liv-ing up to their stereotype— that is, if the results oftwo surveys of student al-cohol intake are any indi-cation.

Of 1,170 students whocompleted the Campus Ex-periences with AlcoholSurvey — administered bythe Coalition of Action onHigh Risk Drinking(CAHRD) — 65 per cent re-ported drinking less than

four times a month.“Really, it’s nothing we

didn’t expect when com-pared to a general popula-tion,” said Deborah Eerkes,director for the Office ofStudent Judicial Affairs.

A second CAHRD sur-vey, Check Yourself, askedstudents to rate how muchthey imbibe.

Eerkes said that despitethe relatively low studentalcoholism rate, she’s stillconcerned about any stu-dents who report riskydrinking habits.

“No one wants to con-trol student behaviour or

tell them what to do,” shesaid. “We just want to pro-mote drinking responsibil-ity.”

Colten Yamagishi, stu-dent union vice-president,Student Life, credits alco-hol-free campus program-ming for the lower numberof habitual drinkers.

He said he would havepreferred that report rec-ommendations look at“the bigger picture” ratherthan offering “polarizing”stats such as an increase invandalism on the muchsmaller Campus Saint-Jean.

Sixty-five per cent say they drink less than four times a month Mostreport having two or fewer drinks a sitting, with an average of 4.5 a week

Students at the University of Alberta reported similar rates of alcohol consumption to last year in a recent

survey, but lower than some might expect on campus.

Three-year-old Elysha Pomerleau poses for

a photo with Santa yesterday at Kingsway Mall.

HEATHER MCINTYRE/METRO

Santa Claus has come totown. In fact, he’s every-where.

He can be found at anycity mall, but Santaing is-n’t just any old job — noris the task of hiring him.

Dean Skoubis, of Spe-cial Events Digital Photo,has been hiring mall San-tas since 1998.

“Sometimes it’s as sim-ple as walking up tosomeone and saying ‘Youlook a lot like someone Iknow,’” he said.

Recruiting, interview-ing and police checks arepart of the job, but luckilyturnover isn’t high.

“They’re communityguys,” said Crystal Han-son of Alberta CreativeEvent and EntertainmentServices, who has beenhiring Santas for eightyears. “This is what theyplan to do at Christmasand it’s important tothem.”

A busy day can meanvisiting with upwards of400 kids — half as many

on a slow day, said Sk-oubis, adding things mustbe efficient to get peoplethrough quickly while al-so giving them what theywant.

The really young arethere for photos whilesome of the six-year-oldshave “memorized theSears Wish Book, andthey know every toy andthey want to talk aboutwhy they need them,” hesaid with a laugh.

Santas start to appear in malls after Remembrance Day, things pick up inDecember All mall Santas in Edmonton have real beards except for one

Nightclubclosesdown aftershooting

Following a forced tem-porary closure becauseof a shooting lastmonth, an Edmontonrestaurant-turned-nightclub has ceasedoperation.

Public safety compli-ance team co-ordinatorSgt. Nicole Chapdelainesaid the owner of 180Degrees voluntarily sur-rendered both businessand liquor licences lastweek.

“As of last Thursdaythe AGLC (Alberta Gam-ing and Liquor Commis-sion) had their liquorlicence, and the (city’s)acting chief licencingofficer is still preparing

a response,” she saidyesterday.

Early on Nov. 6,police said a lone gun-man fired a shotgunthrough the woodenfront door of the night-club, located at 107 Av-enue and 107 Street.

That wasn’t the firsttrouble at the location,prompting the PSCT torecommend the cityclose the business downfor 14 days.

An appeal was readyto ask for continued clo-sure, said Chapdelaine,but wasn’t necessary.

“In the end it’s whatwe would have hopedfor,” she said.

Sharp Mind by AdhiKusumawardana

What was your inspiration?I was inspired by a good friendwho is a successful photogra-pher and also an art director.He is a smart, talented and wit-ty artist — his ideas arebrilliant — but, as a person,very humble and down-to-earth.

What were you trying to saywith your picture?I was trying to show how suc-cess and prosperity will cometo people who are sharp, virtu-ous and bold.

What do you hope people takeaway from your picture? I hope that people enjoy the

image as much as I enjoyedtaking it.

Froggy Froggy by Laura Makaltses

What was your inspiration?I caught this photograph whenI was hiking with my friend.We were walking by a pondwhen we heard the sound ofthe frogs croaking. The soundwas so tranquil. I wanted tosee where it was coming from.My friend and I found the frogand I took this shot. I was trulyinspired by the sounds of na-ture.

What were you trying to saywith your picture?I am capturing the personalityof the frog and itsenvironment.

What do you hope people take

away from your picture?I hope people will understandthe beauty of frogs and all ani-mals. Many species all over theworld become endangeredevery day. I hope that. afterseeing my photograph, peoplewill realize that we need tohelp keep our world’s biodiver-sity alive.

Ghost Houseby Mauricio Correa

What was your inspiration?This is an old andabandoned house nearQuebec’s Lac-Mégantic.This decaying housestands alone in the middleof a verdant landscape.

What were you trying to saywith this picture?I meant to capture the co-exis-tence of decay and fertility. Innature, there is a cycle frombirth to death. Here the land-scape represents the eternal,the house, all that is transient.This old house epitomizesemptiness, solitude, decay. It isa ghostly testimony of better

times, something that criesout for care and attention. Thegreen landscape and the treein full foliage symbolize thehope of life everlasting.

What do you hope people takeaway from your picture?Nothing lasts like an image oftransient nature frozen in timeby the photographer’s lens.There’s still time to rebuild thisplanet.

TORCH™ 9810CURVE™ 9380 BOLD™ 9900CURVE™ 9360Offer Ending Soon

The Conservatives are final-ly putting the social intotheir use of social media.

Treasury Board presi-dent Tony Clement willhost the government’s in-augural Twitter town hallthis Thursday, taking ques-tions for 90 minutes on thesubject of developing anopen government strategyfor Canada.

While many MPs, as well

as government depart-ments and agencies, use so-cial media tools likeFacebook, Twitter andYouTube, they’ve all facedcriticism for only usingthem as ways to push outinformation rather that in-teract in real-time with citi-zens.

That Clement is hostingthe first live social mediaevent isn’t an accident.

His nickname in govern-ment circles is the “Minis-ter for Twitter.” He has over19,000 followers and hasused social media to makepronouncements of gov-ernment policy as well asto speak directly to Opposi-tion MPs, the media andCanadians, sometimesmuch to the chagrin of theprime minister’s office.THE CANADIAN PRESS

NDP MP riled

While the Opposition

commended the idea ofthe consultations, NDP MPCharlie Angus scoffed atthe idea that it representsa commitment to opengovernment.Angus was particularly

riled that it is Clementheading up the initiative,given the NDP’s assertionthat Clement has misledCanadians on the handlingof funds allocated for theG8/G20 summits.“Because he goes on Twit-

ter and uses words likecrowdsourcing, people aregoing to be fooled,” Angussaid.“Open and accountable

government is knowinghow decisions are made.”

Digital public affairsstrategist Mark Blevis saidTony Clement is taking arisk with holding the for-mal Twitter event.

There will be inevitable

criticism of whichquestions are and aren’tanswered and there’s thepossibility that manywon’t be on topic.

But Blevis cautioned

against undue criticism,noting the governmenthas to be given the chanceto make mistakes in figur-ing out how to use socialmedia. THE CANADIAN PRESS

IMF projects Egypt’s economic growth to be only 1.2 per cent this year, down from around 5 per cent in 2010

PM decries Egypt’s weak economyNASSER NASSER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Egypt’s new interim primeminister broke into tearsin front of journalists yes-terday as he spoke aboutthe state of the country'seconomy, saying it was“worse than anyone imag-ines.”

Egypt’s transition in themonths since HosniMubarak’s ouster has beenrocky, with protestsagainst the military coun-cil leading the process, anincrease in crime and thebattering of the tourism in-dustry that was once a pil-lar of the economy.

Kamal el-Ganzouri, thethird temporary primeminister since Mubarak’souster in February, said hispriorities were the restora-tion of security and eco-nomic progress.

At one point in his newsconference, el-Ganzouriteared up as he recalledseeing “an Egyptian manon TV saying, ‘I want secu-rity, not bread.’”

He said austerity meas-ures were needed to startreducing the deficit butthat no new taxes will beimposed.

El-Ganzouri said his gov-ernment will not considerloans from the Internation-al Monetary Fund until theoutlook of the Egyptianbudget becomes clear.

“Solidarity is needed toface the economic crisisand security problem forcitizens to be pleased withthe revolution,” he said.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Interim leader

El-Ganzouri blamed thelast decade of Mubarak’s30-year rule and thecorruption that took placethen for the ballooningdeficit.El-Ganzouri is himself aMubarak-era prime minis-ter who served from 1996to 1999, but he has notbeen tainted bycorruption.Still, protesters who dislikehim for his part in the oldregime have been campedin front of el-Ganzouri’s of-fice in downtown Cairo,forcing him to hold meet-ings at the Ministry ofPlanning in a Cairo suburb.

Suncor pulls out of SyriaCanadian oil giant SuncorEnergy Inc. says it is pullingout of Syria in order tocomply with new interna-tional sanctions aimed atfurther isolating the regimeof President Bashar Assad.

“Our thoughts are withthe Syrian people as wehope for a return to peaceas soon as possible,” SuncorCEO Rick George said in astatement.

Pressure has beenmounting on Suncor to pullout of the country since thesanctions took effect earlierthis month. The Calgary-based company had previ-ously said it would

continue its operations inSyria despite earlier inter-national sanctions target-ing the country’s oil and

gas exports. But after a care-ful review of the latest sanc-tions announced by theEuropean Union on Dec. 2,

the company concludedthey applied to Suncor. THE CANADIAN PRESS

CITY NEEDS TOMAKE BETTERUSE OF OURTAX DOLLARS

I hate paying for things thatdon’t return their promisedvalue.

I used to feel that wayabout airport-improvementfees.

I was never sure I would ever see anybenefit from doing so. However, if youhave been to our airport recently, youcan see that the fees that everyone haspaid over the years have actually paidoff. It is a much nicer place than it usedto be and it has started to look like a

major city airport.I wish I could feel the same way about the civic tax-

es I pay. For as long as I can remember, it has seemedas if we have paid about five per cent more each year

for the pleasure of livinghere. And that doesn’t in-clude the taxes that aredisguised as user fees andutility charges.

I don’t mind paying tax-es. I would pay even moretaxes if I could see a realreturn.

Is it just me or does itseem like we pay more intaxes each year and reallydon’t see too much in theway of real improvementsin our city?

Our downtown doesn’tlook significantly differentthan it did 20 years agosave for the new artgallery and the Windspear.The LRT is longer than itused to be, but that hastaken more than 30 years

to achieve.So where has all our tax money gone? I’m not sure

that I have ever gotten a clear idea of where new taxdollars go and what benefit we get.

The one thing that I am sure of is that areas withinthe civic administration know how to build empires.

Right now about 58 per cent of the budget goes toemployee costs.

What on earth do all those people do? If we take thepolice, transit and outside workers out of the mix, westill have a lot of people who take our tax money andin return provide us with ... what? I don’t have an an-swer to that question.

Our current mayor has often expressed frustrationabout what things cost and how many civicemployees are required to provide the services we re-ally need.

One can only hope that his frustration turns into ac-tion on the part of our next mayor.

With a little luck, he or she will make the adminis-tration’s justification of our civic payroll a top priority.

Arcade’s success ‘beyondanyone’s wildest dreams’

Arcade Fire coming off monumental year Indie band’striumphs continue to bring attention to Montreal music sceneIt was a year in which Ar-cade Fire burned brightly.

The coveted GrammyAward for Album of theYear, honouring their lat-est release The Suburbs,kicked off a slew of hon-ours won by the Montreal-based indie band in 2011.

By the end of the year,they had also swept thesame categories at theJuno, Polaris and Britawards, and taken homeanglophone album of theyear from Quebec’s L’AutreGala de L’ADISQ.

After giving an interna-tional shout-out to theirMontreal hometown at theGrammys, they also foundtime to say thanks to theirlocal fans in Septemberwith a free outdoor showdowntown, which packedin around 100,000 people.

And that gratitude isabout to continue into thenew year as the band saysit’s going to invest in help-ing young artists while alsoworking on their nextundisclosed recording proj-ect.

“Their success has gonebeyond anyone’s wildest

dreams — even them, I be-lieve,” says Dan Seligman,the creative director andco-founder of the Pop Mon-treal indie music festival,which hosted the outdoorconcert.

Seligman, who hasbooked the band often dur-ing the 10 years of his festi-val and in other gigs, saysany attention Arcade Firegets benefits the local mu-sic scene.

“The hope is that it’llcontinue to help other

bands get attention and be-come successful, touringmusicians and have ca-reers.”

Leah Greenblatt, a sen-ior editor at New York-based EntertainmentWeekly magazine, saidthat even though they hadbeen around for a while,Arcade Fire’s Grammy wincaused jaws to drop. Eventhe band looked stunnedas TV cameras caught theirreaction.

“I was shocked,” Green-

blatt said, explaining thatas a longtime writer on theindie music scene she hadoften seen her favouriteartists ghettoized into in-die or alternative musiccategories.

“I just assumed that Ar-cade would get the alterna-tive album of the year,” shesaid, speculating that be-sides the quality of the al-bum, the Grammys weretrying to appeal to ayounger audience thisyear. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Return of the mackJ.R. deals again as original cast members filming reboot to popular series

J.R. Ewing has returned toDallas.

With Larry Hagmanreprising his role as theconniving Texas oilman,

filming is underway at loca-tions all over the city forTNT’s new television seriesDallas, which will also seethe return of Patrick Duffy

as J.R.’s brother Bobby andLinda Gray as J.R.’s ex-wifeSue Ellen, along with a newgeneration of Ewings.

And, of course, the spot-

light also returns to the cityitself, with its distinctiveskyline rising from theprairie.

“We’re trying to give theshow a real sense of placeand Dallas has a real per-sonality,” said location man-ager John Patterson,adding, “It’s a city that doesthings in a big way. That’spart of J.R. and part of whatwe try to give the show — asense of the city, which isbig, very well done, shiny,new and looking towardthe future.”

TNT has ordered 10episodes of the series, set toair in summer 2012. Film-ing for the series, entirelyshot in Dallas, began mid-October and is expected towrap in late January.

“There was just no waywe were going to film any-where else,” said executiveproducer Cynthia Cidre,

who also wrote the pilot forthe new series, a “mix ofthe old world and the newworld.”

The original series,which aired from 1978 to1991, enjoyed popularityaround the world as view-ers tuned in to watch thescheming Ewing family. Asthe plot twisted and turnedseason after season, the se-ries contributed to some ofTV’s most memorable mo-ments. After Bobby died ina season cliffhanger in 1985after being hit by a car, theentire next season was re-vealed to have been a pro-longed dream sequencewhen his former wife, withwhom he had reconciled,wakes up to find him alive,

taking a shower. The 1986-87 season then mark’sDuffy’s return to the cast af-ter a year-long absence.

And, of course, there wasthe cliffhanger in 1980 thatleft the whole world in sus-pense. The catchphrase“Who shot J.R.?” becamepart of the common vernac-ular as viewers waited tofind out who had fired onJ.R.

When viewers tuned infor the answer on Nov. 21,1980, the shooter was re-vealed to be J.R.’s vengefulmistress, who was also hissister-in-law. That episodewas seen by more peoplethan any TV program in his-tory up until that time.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“SkyBlu hurt his back,”Foo told Metro before theconcert started.

“He has some herniateddiscs. He’s been performingfor a while injured, because

he’s a true champ, but thedoctor said [he’s] gotta takea break. That shuffle movewe do, when he does it, I al-ways tell him you gottabend [at the knee]. Andthen with the wiggle, youcan’t wiggle too hard, evenif there’s sexy ladies in theaudience screaming at you— you gotta keep it con-fined.

So we don’t know exact-ly what has happened, butwe think it’s combined[with] the shuffle, the wig-gle and the ladies.”

But SkyBlu’s injury isn’tholding the group back forthe new year. On their to-do list for 2012?

“Films,” Foo says. “Tak-ing the whole LMFAO partyrock lifestyle and putting iton the big screen.”

Sir Richard Branson has amessage: we can save ourEarth from nuclear Am-ageddon and environmen-tal meltdown alike.

With Cutnukes.org,Branson pushes for feweratomic bombs. His airlinersuse waste as fuel, and hehas created a sanctuary forMalagasy lemurs displacedby deforestation. Now heplans to monitor global de-forestation with satellites,he tells Metro.

You’re about to open areserve for ringtailed lemursthat have been displaced bydeforestation in Madagascar.Are you planning to help oth-er species that have been dis-placed by deforestation?

The lemur is such abeautiful species. We sim-ply have to save the lemurs,and I’m trying to help otherspecies as well.

For the past severalmonths I’ve travelledaround the world to savesharks, and soon I’ll be trav-elling to India to try to savethe blue tiger.

When it comes to defor-estation, of course humanswho have been displacedare very im portant, but ani-mal species are equally im-portant. More important,actually.

Deforestation is often causedby local subsistence farmers.What’s the solution?

One thing we can doabout illegal logging is dis-

cover it before it’s too late.That’s why I’ve justlaunched a new initiativebased at my spaceport.We’ll run have satellitesthat will monitor forests tosee where forests are beingcut down.

You’re in favor of eliminatingnuclear weapons. Why shouldgood countries get rid of their

nuclear weapons when badcountries still have them?

They shouldn’t com-pletely eliminate them.What we’re suggesting isthat nuclear weapons statesget rid of their nuclearweapons in steps. From adeterrent point of view, acountry only needs 300 nu-clear weapons. Getting ridof nuclear weapons would

save a lot of money andwould solve many of theworld’s current deficit prob-lems.

In other words, is the globalrecession a good thing for nu-clear disarmament?

Definitely. For example,one of the easiest thingsPresident Obama could doto solve the US budget crisis

is getting rid of 1,000 nu-clear warheads.

Is your interest in nuclearweapons an extension of yourgreen involvement?

Yes. I’ve been visited Hi-roshima and Nagasaki tosee the effects of nuclearweapons. And it’s an exten-sion of my interest in solv-ing global conflicts.

That’s why I fund TheElders, an organizationfounded by Nelson Mandelathat works to solve globalconflicts.

The world has been talkingabout environmentalproblems for so long. Do yousee any reasons for optimism?

Absolutely. We have todeal with environmentalproblems in an entrepre-neurial spirit. For example,Virgin’s new aviation fueluses waste from steel mills.Millions of jobs could becreated worldwide bygreening our cities.

The environment wouldbenefit, the cities wouldbenefit, regular peoplewould benefit, and it wouldstop money pouring out tothe Middle East.

Even if we solve all theworld’s environmental prob-lems, the world might bewiped out if Iran drops a nu-clear bomb….

If Iran dropped a nuclearbomb nuclear weaponstates would quickly obliter-ate Tehran, so I don’t thinkit will.

The bigger risk is terror-ists using nuclear weapons,but we have to set a moralexample so terrorists don’tfeel the need.

n 1953, General

Robert E. Wood,

the legendary Chairman of

Sears Roebuck, and Co.,

Chicago, sent a letter to Edgar

G. Burton, President of the

Robert Simpson Company of Toronto,

to propose a partnership between their

two companies in order to serve the

Canadian market.

Today — almost 60 years later —

Sears Canada is a multi-channel retailer

with a network that includes 196

corporate stores,

285 hometown

dealer stores, 31

home services

showrooms, more

than 1,700 catalogue

merchandise pick-

YES, WISHES DO COME TRUE— AT SEARSSomething that hasn’t

changed in six decades is

Sears Canada’s ability to

make wishes come true,

especially at Christmas time.

Who’s not familiar with the

Sears Holiday Wish Book and the

sight of a Sears store festively

What has changed in 60

years is the Sears ability to

stay current and relevant for Canadian

consumers, including a strong online

presence that’s open 24/7 at sears.ca.

If there’s no time to visit the Sears

store, busy moms and dads

strapped for time can find almost

anything online. And, for those hard-

to-by-for individuals, Sears offers

gift cards that offer choice and

flexibility when it comes to gift

giving. Sears gift cards can be

purchased and redeemed across

different channels, including

end there.

Along with its

proprietary gift

sells third-party gift

cards. “We now offer

HOW TO GETMORE OUT OFGIFT CARDS THISHOLIDAY SEASONFor the fifth year in a row, gift cards top

the list of most popular presents to re-

ceive. But before you stock up on these

holiday favourites, make sure you’re

getting the most for your money.

Frances Ho, founder of CardSwap,

Canada’s leading site for buying and

selling gift cards, offers these expert tips

for stretching your budget a little further:

Turn points

from loyalty

programs such as Air

Miles or Aeroplan into

gift cards.

Browse sites

such as

CardSwap.ca (for

Canada) or Plastic Jungle (U.S.

only) to find gift cards for 10 to 15

per cent below face value.

Avoid overspending: Use a

prepaid Visa card to purchase

all your gifts. Once the card is depleted,

you are done!

When you receive gift cards,

save them for Boxing Day or

early January. That’s when stores offer

their best deals, so your card has more

buying power.

Don’t waste your gift cards by

letting them sit in a drawer. If

you haven’t redeemed them by

February, consider converting them to

cash through a site like CardSwap.ca.

Ho also suggests

rounding up old gift

cards and selling

them online to

make some quick

holiday cash. She

says the average

family has several

unused cards lying

around the house — and they

could see as much as 92 per cent of that

face value. That could offer a welcome

boost to this year’s gift-giving budget.

Happy Shopping! �

A new study suggests thatfeeling powerful reallydoes go to people’s heads— and that’s a good thing.

The study was co-au-thored by Li-Jun Ji, a pro-fessor at Queen’sUniversity and a socialpsychologist who special-izes in relationships be-tween culture andthinking.

Power — defined as theability to influence others— makes people thinkdifferently, says Ji.

In North America, afeeling of power leads tothinking in a focused andanalytical way, and Ji saysthat that’s a good way tothink when pursuing per-sonal goals in this society.

Thinking analyticallyallows you to focus on agoal and how to achieve itwithout being distractedby the surroundings orcontext, she says.

“What’s most interest-

ing about this study is theidea that thinking is flexi-ble, not rigid or innatelypre-programmed,” says Ji.“We are able to attuneour style of thinking tothe needs of the situation.

“However, the specificways we might attune ourthinking seems to dependon our cultural back-ground.”

The lead author on thestudy, Yuri Miyamoto at

the University of Wiscon-sin-Madison, has alsolooked at Japanese partici-pants and found that ingeneral, East Asians aremore holistic in their rea-soning than European-North Americans.

Holistic thinking, incontrast to analyticalthinking, is more rela-tionship and context-fo-

cused, Ji explains.To induce feelings of

power for the study, par-ticipants were asked to re-member times when theyhad influenced others.

Memories people re-called included making ashy roommate more out-going, influencing peopleto buy products and lead-ing a struggling soccerteam to victory.

Participants were thenasked to perform tasks —

such as writing a descrip-tion of a friend — to as-sess how analytically theywere thinking.

The more analyticalthinkers tended to use ad-jectives more frequently,whereas more holisticthinkers were likely touse more verbs.

The research was pub-lished in the Personalityand Social Psychology Bul-letin. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Since he joined the Mil-waukee Brewers, Braun hasbelted big home runs notwith cartoonishly largemuscles, but with a sweetswing and an ultra-quickbat. Last season, he helpeddrive the Brewers to theplayoffs and was voted theNL’s Most Valuable Player.

Now Braun finds himselffighting a 50-game suspen-sion after news leaked thathe has tested positive.Braun’s representativessteadfastly maintain his in-nocence.

ESPN cited two sourcesSaturday in first reportingthe result, saying Brauntested positive for elevatedlevels of testosterone,adding that a later test bythe World Anti-DopingAgency lab in Montreal de-termined the testosteronewas synthetic.

A spokesman for Braunsaid in a statement issuedto ESPN and The AssociatedPress that “there are highlyunusual circumstances sur-rounding this case whichwill support Ryan’scomplete innocence.”

“There was absolutelyno intentional violation ofthe program,” MatthewHiltzik said in a statementsent by the four-time all-star left fielder’s represen-tatives.

The case is still being ap-pealed to an arbitrator un-der MLB’s drug program,people familiar with the sit-uation told the AP.

Mark Scheifele takes a breather at

Canada’s world junior selection camp

in Calgary yesterday.

NATHAN DENETTE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Scheifele at centre ofCanada’s WJC hopes

Jets’ top pick looks to come out of camp as national team’s No. 1 centre ‘I’m going to do whatever it takes to do that,’ says confident 18-year-old

Three NHL centres couldhave played for Canada’sjunior team, but won’t,leading to questions aboutthe country’s depth up themiddle for the upcomingworld junior hockey cham-pionships.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins ofthe Edmonton Oilers, RyanJohansen of the ColumbusBlue Jackets and Sean Cou-turier of the PhiladelphiaFlyers were not released totry out for Canada by theirrespective NHL clubs.

When the players invit-ed to Canada’s selectioncamp hit the ice for the firsttime yesterday in Calgary, itlooked like only six centreswere competing for fourjobs on the team.

But head coach Don Hayand Hockey Canada headscout Kevin Prendergast in-sist Canada won’t be shortat centre. As many as fivewho started camp on thewing can also play in themiddle, Prendergast said.

“I would do wingers inthe middle,” Hay agreedprior to the first intra-squadgame last night. “There’sgoing to be guys that playout of position. There’s go-

ing to be roles for differentplayers. I think good play-ers can adapt.”

Prendergast has said theteam wants two scoringcentres and two more toplay a two-way game.

Mark Scheifele of theBarrie Colts and RyanStrome of the Niagara Ice-Dogs are the frontrunnersfor two of the four jobs.While the world juniorchampionship is consid-ered a 19-year-old’s tourna-ment, they are both 18.

Scheifele, from Kitchen-er, Ont., played sevengames with the WinnipegJets and scored his first NHLgoal before he was returned

to the Colts. He is putting itout there that he wants tobe the No. 1 centre on theCanadian team.

“I think it’s definitely im-portant to make goals likethat,” Scheifele said. “That’sdefinitely my goal, to be theNo. 1 centre. I’m going todo whatever it takes to dothat.”

Although Strome didn’tappear in any regular-sea-son games with the NewYork Islanders, they keptthe Mississauga, Ont., na-tive with the team untilOct. 13.

“They’re high-profileyoung men,” Hay said.“They’ve been exposed to

the National Hockey Leaguelevel and played in some ex-hibition games and someregular season games.

“They’re like anybodyelse. They have to show usthey can play a 200-footgame and be good on bothsides of the puck and notjust be an offensive guy, buta good defensive guy.”

The Jets took Scheifeleseventh overall in thisyear’s NHL draft. While he’sbigger than Strome at al-most six foot two and 192pounds, Prendergast saysboth have good hockeysense and distribute thepuck well.

Scheifele has 13 goalsand 23 assists in 19 gamesfor the Colts since return-ing from the NHL.

Strome, the fifth overallpick the Isles, has 16 goalsand 17 assists in 32 gamesfor the IceDogs. The six-foot, 183-pound forward isprepared to be a checkingforward if that’s what ittakes to make the team.

“Everybody’s got to goout there and play the bodyand be gritty and that’swhat I plan to do,” Stromesaid. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Jon (Bones) Jones is look-ing ahead to a vacationand several months off.His rivals in the UFC light-heavyweight divisionwould be well-served toused that time wisely.

“I just don’t see any-body beating this guy anytime soon,” UFC presidentDana White said afterJones choked out Lyoto(The Dragon) Machida at4:26 of the second roundto retain his title at UFC140 Saturday night.

“He’s a young guy, he’sgot a lot of things to learnin the sport still — morethan just fighting,” addedWhite. “But the potential?The potential is unbeliev-able.

“If he stays on the righttrack, does the rightthings, this guy could godown as the greatest ever.”

Jones, just 24, believesthat is exactly his destinyand he is well on his wayto getting there.

Saturday’s win complet-ed an amazing year forJones, who only made hispro MMA debut in April2008.

The former junior col-lege wrestling championstopped up-and-comerRyan (Darth) Bader in Feb-ruary, then dethronedMauricio (Shogun) Rua inMarch. In September, hebeat former title-holderQuinton (Rampage) Jack-son.

Four fights. Four wins.Three champions beaten.

“Jon Jones is the realdeal,” said White. “He’shad an incredible schedulethis year fighting all thebest in the world.”

The only person to beatJones was Matt (The Ham-mer) Hamill in 2009 andthat was via disqualifica-tion for an illegal down-ward elbow. Despite theresult, it was Hamill whowent to the hospital after-wards.

Taking on Jones is likefighting a combination ofa porcupine and octopus.It’s tough to get close tohim through a buzzsaw oflimbs and when you do, itoften hurts.

At six foot four with areach of 84.5 inches —

longest in the UFC —he is hard to attack.And if you do manageto close the gap,Jones’ unpredictablearsenal is well-stockedwith kicks and strikes.He can also take youdown, damage youwith

elbows or choke you out.That’s what happened

Saturday.The smaller Machida

had some success in thefirst round, darting in andout with an effectivecounter-attack. Jones wastentative as he tried to fig-

ure out his elusive oppo-nent.

“I have never foughtanyone like him, so thefirst round was very, veryconfusing for me,” Jonessaid of the Brazilian south-paw.

A second-round cut to

Machida was a turningpoint. The two clinched

at the fence andJones wrestled

him to the

ground, carving open hisforehead with a series ofelbows.

Machida said he startedhaving blurry vision after-wards and admitted tothinking it was “maybethe beginning of the end.”Jones said his confidence

skyrocketed. “Just seeinghis blood really let meknow, ‘All right, he bleeds.Let’s do this.’”

When the fight re-turned to the feet, Jonesgrabbed Machida at thefence and locked in astanding guillotine choke

The Brazilian didn’t tapand toppled when referee(Big) John McCarthystepped in and the champ

finally let go.Jones (15-1) becomes the

first 205-pound championsince Chuck (The Iceman)Liddell to make back-to-back successful title de-fences.

The main event tookfight of the night honours,earning Jones and Machida(17-3) an extra $75,000 USeach.

Jones called the eveninga valuable experience,showing — in the works ofcoach Greg Jackson — thathe can keep his composurethrough adversity.

The champion has yet towin over everyone. Heheard boos at the weigh-inand the crowd was firmlyin Machida’s camp duringthe fight.

Canadians went 2-5 on anight that saw some quick,violent finishes.

In the co-main event,former heavyweight cham-pion Frank Mir rallied tosubmit Antonio RodrigoNogueira in the first round.Mir earned $75,000 for thesubmission of the night,leaving doctors to work onNogueira who waited toolong to tap and paid for it.

A vicious kimura hadthe crowd gasping as thearm was shown bent at ahorrific angle in replays onthe big screen. Nogueira’scamp later tweeted that theveteran Brazilian had bro-ken his arm and was head-ed to see a specialist in LosAngeles on Sunday.

“When I locked up (thesubmission on) Nogueira, Ihad a strong inclination hewas not going to tap,” saidMir. “So I took a deepbreath — and you guys sawwhat happened.”

Nogueira, like Mir ablack belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, had never been sub-mitted before. He has yet totap and has the brokenbone to prove it.

Earlier, Antonio RogerioNogueira (Rodrigo’s twinbrother) pounded out afirst-round TKO over for-mer light-heavyweightchampion Tito (The Peo-ple’s Champ) Ortiz.

Nogueira dropped Ortizwith a knee to the body,sending Ortiz to the hospi-tal in the aftermath.
