University of Toronto researchershave found a correlation betweenchildhood physical abuse and con-ditions such as chronic fatiguesyndrome and irritable bowel syn-drome.

Led by Esme Fuller-Thomson,the Sandra Rotman chair at Uni-versity of Toronto, this is the sixthstudy to look at the link betweenphysical health ailments andchildhood physical abuse. Previ-ously, Fuller-Thomson’s researchlooked at cancer, heart disease,osteoarthritis, ulcers andmigraines.

Fuller-Thomson began herresearch after noting that whilethere was a lot of research on themental health outcomes linked tochildhood physical abuse, therewas little known about physicalhealth outcomes.

“The mind-body continuum issomething we need to look atmore closely. And how could suchan early trauma not have a long-term impact on how you physi-cally respond to stress the rest ofyour life?

“So there’s a lot of literatureabout how stress in adulthood

affects your health outcomes —for example, heart disease, ulcers,those types of thing — but my areaof interest is that early childhoodstressors ... ‘get under the skin.’Do these early traumas literallychange the way individualsrespond to stress for the rest oftheir life?”

This latest research focused on7,342 women in Manitoba andSaskatchewan, the only twoprovinces that asked respondentsif they had been physically abusedas children.

These women were asked ifthey had been diagnosed by ahealth professional with any ofthe four syndromes listed above.

The study found that womenwho said they were physicallyabused as children were twice aslikely to have fatigue syndromeor suffer from multiple chemicalsensitivities. They had a 65 percent higher chance of being diag-nosed with fibromyalgia (after oth-er potential risk factors had beenaccounted for).

In men, childhood physicalabuse was not associated withthese health outcomes.

Fuller-Thomson said the studylikely just scratches the surface ofthe actual numbers, since it is across-sectional study, whichmeans adults are asked to recalltheir childhood experiences, andnot a prospective study, where aresearcher follows the subject.

“The literature in general hassaid people tend to under-reportabuse, not overreport it ... In oth-er words, we’re probably only get-ting the most extreme types of(physical) abuse,” she said.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

After a day-long debate in acouncil chamber packedwith city garbage workers,Toronto councillors havevoted 32-13 to contract outgarbage pickup for 165,000homes and cut 300 union-ized city jobs.

The day began with May-or Rob Ford on the attackagainst councillors opposedto expanding private trashpickup, saying votingagainst the move will ex-pose them as “tax-and-spend socialists.”

The proposal contractsout trash and recycling col-lection from single-familyhomes between Etobicoke’seastern boundary andYonge Street.

The mayor’s speech leftno doubt the vote was themost important so far in his

mission to radically shrinkthe city’s 50,000-strongworkforce.

“We’re going to divideourselves up today into twogroups and it’s going to bevery simple for the taxpay-ers to see,” Ford told coun-cil.

“You’re going to haveone side of council that isgoing to support high taxes,big spending, out of controlunion contracts,” he contin-ued, to a chorus of boosfrom the gallery.

“We’re going to have theother side of council that isgoing to demonstrate re-straint in spending ... thatwant to have accountabilityat city hall, that are sickand tired of the tax-and-spend socialists at city hall.”TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Fighting genetic discriminationWhen Katie Lingard wastaking steps to set up a chi-ropractic practice fouryears ago, the soon-to-begraduate couldn’t help butnotice she was being treat-ed differently than herclassmates by insurancecompanies who came totheir college to drum up

business.The insurers were hesi-

tant to give the healthy 25-year-old the mandatoryinsurance she needed to gether practice off the ground.

Among the questions onapplication forms was oneabout medical history,specifically, was there any

Huntington’s disease in herfamily? In Lingard’s casethere is; her father has theneurodegenerative disease.The Toronto woman wastold by one provider that ifshe wanted coverage sheshould get a blood testproving she didn’t carry theHuntington’s gene.

Since then, Lingard hasbeen fighting for an end togenetic discrimination. Thebattle is taking her toQueen’s Park today when aprivate member’s bill is be-ing introduced to amendthe Ontario Human RightsCode to halt the practice.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

El Salvador is a tiny country – lessthan half the size of Nova Scotia, witha population about the size of the GTA– but it is one of the most dangerouscountries in the Western hemisphere.There were 3,985 violent deaths in ElSalvador in 2010, most related to gangactivity; that is a higher per-capitanumber than in Afghanistan.

That’s why communities place ahigh priority on giving their youngpeople tools to build a future. “Ourpreschool centres are critically impor-tant,” says Laura Mata, chief of com-munications for World Vision ElSalvador, which works with commu-nity groups to create programs to ad-

dress their most pressing needs. “Bygiving small children a good educa-tional foundation, they’re ready forGrade 1. They’re then more likely tobe successful and less likely to flunkout or quit later.”

World Vision’s Children’s Clubsand Youth Clubs not only provideyoung people with a safe place to so-cialize, but also give them life skillsand vocational training. (In one club,Kevin, 15 was learning to bake breadand fancy pastries; in another, a bandof musicians practiced while anothergroup took learned to paint.)

Carlos, who is now 17, remembersthe first time he went to a World Vi-

sion Communications Club in Tacuba,a small mountain town near theGuatemalan border where local gangsare particularly powerful. “I was 13.Some of my friends had been to theclub and done a radio show, and theyneeded more people. I went. I wasvery nervous. But it was such a nice experience my [nervousness]vanished.”

Before that, Carlos had been play-ing hookey from school since age 10,had failed 4th grade and fallen in witha sketchy group. At the club, “I got re-ally involved. I realized I had to stopdoing the things I’d been doing. Istarted studying again.” Today he

leads other teens in the group andworks half-days at a local professionalradio station while attending highschool.

Of course World Vision Canadasponsorships support efforts like nutri-tion and health care programs in ElSalvador. But Laura believes that isjust as important to “improve knowl-

edge. You can’t change lives by justgiving tangible things,” she says.“Change comes by giving life skills and vocational skills so that[young people] can be someone in the future.”

At the Tacuba CommunicationsClub, says Carlos, “getting into theradio shows is what changed my life.”

Undeterred by real or fakebombs, Queen Elizabeth IIyesterday began the firstvisit by a British monarchto the Republic of Ireland.

Resplendent in a cloak ofemerald green and a dressof St. Patrick’s blue, theQueen stepped out from abombproof, bulletproofRange Rover outside the of-ficial residence of Irish Pres-ident Mary McAleese. Irish

Army artillery units fired a21-gun salute as a militarybrass band played God SaveThe Queen. Several thou-sand Dubliners lined thestreets hoping to see theQueen, some of themcheering and clapping.

The painstakingly chore-ographed four-day visit hasbeen designed to highlighttoday’s strong Anglo-Irishrelations and the slow

blooming of peace in neigh-bouring Northern Irelandafter a three-decade conflictthat left 3,700 dead.

McAleese said Britainand Ireland were “deter-mined to make the future amuch, much better place.”

Irish Republican Armydissidents opposed to rec-onciliation tried to under-mine the trip with realand hoax bombs, but they

caused no significant dis-ruption.

“We are living inchanged and changingtimes,” said lawmaker Aen-gus O Snodaigh of the na-tionalist Sinn Fein party.“But the fact that Dublincity is on lockdown for theweek makes it clear thatthe relationship betweenthe two islands is still not‘normal.’” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Yes, the Queen wore greenQueen Elizabeth’s trip to Ireland is the first by a monarch since 1911Pipe bomb defused on bus but no serious disruptions on opening day

Protesters attempt to disrupt the queen’s visit to Dublin’s Garden of Remembrance, which honours Irish rebels who lost

their lives fighting to free Ireland from British control. Queen Elizabeth II placed a wreath there yesterday.

Move over web surfing.Netflix movies now takeup more of the Internetpipes going into NorthAmerican homes.

A study published yes-terday by Sandvine Inc.shows that Netflix moviesand TV shows account fornearly 30 per cent of trafficinto homes during peakevening hours, comparedwith less than 17 per centfor web browsing.

Only about one-quarterof homes with broadband

subscribe to Netflix, butwatching movies and TVshows online takes up a lotof bandwidth comparedwith web surfing, emailand practically every otherInternet activity except filesharing and videoconfer-encing.

As late as last year, bothweb surfing and peer-to-peer file sharing — mainlythe illegal trading of copy-righted movies — wereeach larger than Netflix’straffic.

Sandvine makes equip-ment that helps cable andphone companies managetheir Internet delivery sys-tems. It collected datafrom unidentified cus-tomers for the survey. Ithas previously been linkedto Comcast Corp., thelargest Internet serviceprovider in the U.S. Sand-vine says its data should berepresentative of overallhome Internet use.

The number of Netflixcustomers is growing

quickly, to 23.6 millionsubscribers in the U.S. andCanada as of the end ofMarch. The growing use ofthe streaming service isgood news for the compa-ny, which is trying to re-duce what it spends tomail DVDs. The rentalvideo business in Canadatotalled about $970 mil-lion in 2010, down 12 percent from the previousyear, says Toronto-basedConvergence ConsultingGroup. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Popularity could pose risks to the profits of Canadian cable companies

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. In Canada, Netflix has made major inroads since launching last September, with 800,000 subscribers paying $7.99 per month for unlimited access to thousands of movies and TV shows.

REAL ESTATE JUMP

Canada’shousingprices riseThe national averagehome price rose by eightper cent last montheven as housing salesfell by 14.7 per centfrom the year before, ac-cording to data releasedyesterday.

Home prices jumpedto $372,544 compared tolast April — the thirdconsecutive month inwhich the national aver-age price rose by eightper cent from year agolevels, the Canadian Re-al Estate Associationsaid. Meanwhile, thenumber of previouslyoccupied homes sold in

April fell to 17,230 from18,745 a year ago.

The national housinghas been skewed recent-ly due to a surge in salesof multimillion-dollarproperties in theGreater Vancouver area.

Demand for thoseproperties fell in Aprilcompared to March, butwas offset by fewer salesof lower priced proper-ties. “Changes to mort-gage regulations thattook effect in April 2011likely sidelined a num-ber of first-timehomebuyers,” said Gre-gory Klump, CREA’schief economist.

Cartoon by Michael de Adder

ADD BOY NAMEDSUE TO THE LIST

An Israeli couple recentlynamed their new baby girlLike, as in the like button onFacebook.

Like, is that not the dumb-est thing you ever heard?

The same couple also named their oth-er daughters Pie, as in lemon meringue,and Vash, which is Hebrew for honey.

The parents, Lior and Vardit Adley, saythey wanted a unique and modern namefor their newborn and Like sounded“modern and innovative.” Lior told an Is-

raeli newspaper that Like is the modern equivalent ofthe name Ahova (Love).

No, it isn’t. It’s a button. On a piece of software. It’s aploy designed to create a digital pattern allowingFacebook to serve up ads that match your profile. It’sabout the money, Honey.

At least they didn’t name their daughter Zuckerberg,after the founder of Facebook. That would Zuck.

Now Like, Pie and Vash Adley will have to spend therest of their lives in expensive therapy, doing battle withthe trauma of their names.

They will be joined in the waiting room by Facebook,an Egyptian whose dad wanted to honour Facebook’srole in the Arab Spring. How about a nice plaque at thefront door instead of laying the burden of FacebookJamal Ibrahim on your poor little tyke?

The irony of Like is that her parents don’t even really“like” Facebook. Lior has fewer than 120 Facebookfriends. Which still seems like a lot to me. I have 131Facebook friends and have trouble keeping up.

The question is why do people do this to perfect inno-cents who can’t defend themselves? In their quest for 15minutes of cheap fame, Lior and Vardit have condemnedLike, Pie and Vash to spend the rest of their livesspelling and explaining their names to strangers,getting teased mercilessly in the schoolyard by bullieswith conventional names, trying to get their nameslegally changed or using their middle names (which arenot, hopefully, Recommend, Edit or Write On Her Wall).

It’s child abuse and it’s hardly rare. It may seem cuteat the time, but remember that the apple (Pie?) of youreye has to wear it for the rest of his or her life. Life ishard enough without being called Pie.

Same goes for the current crop of kids named aftervampires, politicians and Lady Gaga.

Johnny Depp portrays Captain Jack Sparrow in a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Movie producer

Jerry Bruckheimer has said of Depp: “He created the franchise, that character. Made it come alive. He is Pirates of the Caribbean.”

PETER MOUNTAIN/THE ASSOICATED PRESS/DISNEY,

New pirates, new ship,new treasure — same oldJack Sparrow.

After a trilogy thathauled in $2.7 billionworldwide, Pirates of theCaribbean relaunches withOn Stranger Tides, a freshstart for the buccaneer-

blockbuster franchise star-ring the franchise’s one in-dispensable ingredient —Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack.

With Jack’s belovedship, the Black Pearl, in astrange state of dry-dock,he and his mates sail insearch of the fountain of

youth aboard Blackbeard’sterrifying vessel, theQueen Anne’s Revenge.

Hollywood rarely mess-es with a good thing to thisextent, but the filmmakersare banking that audi-ences will be anxious tofollow in Jack’s wake as he

storms into unchartedseas.

Unlike the trilogy thatgrew out of 2003’s block-buster The Curse of theBlack Pearl, the new Pi-rates installment is astand-alone story, said pro-ducer Jerry Bruckheimer.

But even before OnStranger Tides hits the-atres, Bruckheimer has ascript for a fifth Piratesmovie in the works. Thatsounds like a commanderconfident he’s on the rightcourse, even before leav-ing port. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ahoy all over again: Jack sails fresh waters

Depp and Bruckheimer have hinted the Pirates franchise could go on indefinitely, like James Bond

After Fionn sawthe size of his rival, he dis-guised himself as a baby.Benandonner saw the mas-sive ‘child’ and started to

wonder what size his fatherwould be, so he destroyedthe causeway as hereturned to Scotland.In reality, this UNESCOWorld Heritage site — anarea of 40,000 hexagonalbasalt columns formedsome 65 million years agoafter a volcanic eruption –is a geological marvel(giantscausewayireland.com).

At Cafe Laurent, they havethe freedom to set theirown prices, experimentwith the menu, hand-pickemployees who care aboutservice — and pay themenough not to pilfer foodfor their families. It mayseem like nothing out ofthe ordinary, but for a Cu-ba moving away from com-munism it has been huge.

The new eateries are aboon for well-off residentsand tourists tired of thebland fare at many govern-ment restaurants.

“Today’s Research forTomorrow’s Healthcare”

Sex Ed. effective?Most research on sex educa-tion targets teenagers, agroup that wants and needsaccurate, complete and un-biased information aboutsex, given that a significantproportion of adolescentsengage in sexual activity. In2005, 43 per cent of Canadi-an teens aged 15 to 19 re-ported that they had hadsexual intercourse at leastonce. Eight per cent of

teens reported having hadsexual intercourse beforethey were 15 years old.

The effectiveness of mostsexual health interventionsis not evaluated. The re-search also has relativelyweak research designs,such as poor use of controlgroups. However, here aresome conclusions:

• Adolescents who re-ceive comprehensive sexeducation have a lower riskof pregnancy than thosewho receive abstinence-on-ly or no sex education.Comprehensive sex educa-tion includes informationon birth control and on pre-vention of sexually trans-mitted diseases as well as

abstinence messages.• Programs that focus on

abstinence without dis-cussing safer sex behav-iours do not seem to reduceHIV risk. Some abstinence-only programs can de-crease teens’ sexualbehaviours, although theeffects are modest andshort term.

• Studies have foundthat self-esteem and adoles-cent’s sexual behaviourand attitudes are not relat-ed, so self-esteem shouldnot be the main focus ofsex education.COURTESY OF THE CANADIAN EDUCA-TION ASSOCIATION (CEA) AND THEONTARIO INSTITUTE FOR STUDIES INEDUCATION/UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO(OISE/UT)

Open communication is always the way to go

When I was in CarletonUniversity’s journalismprogram, I didn’t reallyunderstand how difficult itwould be to get a job whenI got out of school, and Icertainly didn’t under-stand the value of net-working and how much itmattered to career success.

I was attending schoolin Ottawa while living inToronto during the sum-mers, so it was difficult forme to find relevant sum-mer positions in my field.This resulted in a string offun summer jobs, none of

which had anything to dowith my goal of securing ajob in public relations,journalism or communica-tions upon graduation.

Luckily, my momworked in public relationsand she was able to set upsome informational inter-views for me during my

fourth year reading week.This was the best thing Icould have done, as it gotmy name out there andgave me a feel for what lifeat a PR agency was like.

One of the interviews Ihad, at Environics Com-munications, resulted inmy first post-grad full-timeposition. But that wasn’tuntil October and I gradu-ated in April.

Those few months inbetween were really diffi-cult. I applied for jobs con-stantly on sites likeWorkopolis, but it was likesending your resumé intoan abyss.

I didn’t have a good net-work in place, so I oftenrelied on family contactsto get me in the door.While I appreciate thehelp my mom gave me, I

hated that I was getting in-terviews based on nepo-tism.

Now I realize that mostpeople land jobs based onreferrals and that you haveto take help whenever it’soffered to you. While mycontacts may have gottenme in the door, it was mysmarts and ambition thatgot me the job.

I’m thankful that I got afull-time job shortly aftergraduation, but it certain-ly wouldn’t have hap-pened like it did withoutsome pre-graduation net-working, and introduc-tions from trustedcontacts.

The Vancouver Whitecapshope to rediscover theiropening-day magic in theNutrilite Canadian Cham-pionship series.

Vancouver will hostToronto FC tonight in thefirst game of the two-leg,aggregate goals competi-tion. The Whitecaps cele-brated their Major LeagueSoccer debut in Marchwith a convincing 4-2comeback victory over theReds before a selloutcrowd at Empire Field.

It was just the resultVancouver was looking for

as it sought to make asplash in North America’stop league. But the White-caps, 1-5-5 in league play,have struggled since then.

They have yet to postanother win at home andhave only one other victo-ry, in the Canadian semifi-nal series at Montreal, in aseason highlighted bycome-from-behind homedraws.

Tonight’s game con-tains added significancefor Vancouver becauseaway goals rank as thefirst tie-breaker in this se-ries. A West Coast win willgive the Reds the upperhand before headinghome for the second anddeciding game May 25 at

BMO Field.Toronto coach Aron

Winter, in his first seasonwith TFC, said the open-ing-game loss was not in-dicative of his team’s trueabilities. The festive at-mosphere favoured theWhitecaps. And the Redsneeded time to adjust totheir new coaches and sys-tem.

“It was our first game inthe league,” said Winter.“After two and a halfmonths, we’ve made a fairbit of progress.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

No Jaysgame?Blame it on the rainThe good news for the De-troit Tiger is that lastnight’s rainout meansthey won’t have to facethe red-hot Blue Jaysagain until late June.Their game will be madeup June 27.

Toronto lost threestraight to the Tigersfrom May 7-9, but haswon six straight since, in-cluding Monday’s 4-2 vic-tory.

The Blue Jays offencehas been the key to thestreak — averaging sevenruns per game — and theyhave done it withoutAdam Lind, who has beenout with a bad back.

Lind is hitting .313 in32 games, and his 27 RBIsare tied for the team leadwith Jose Bautista. He hadhoped to return to theToronto lineup in Detroit,but sustained a setbackMonday and was placedon the disabled list,retroactive to May 8.

“He was taking battingpractice and it tightenedup on him again,” Torontomanager John Farrell said.“We’re going to send himdown to Florida to our ex-tended spring camp andlet him work this out. Thegood news is that we’re al-ready half way into the15-day period.”

The Blue Jays replacedLind on the roster withone of their top prospects,Eric Thames. The 24-year-old was in his first year attriple-A Las Vegas, wherehe was hitting .342.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back endsteps up for Canucks

A puck-savvy, fluid defenceis one of the reasons whythe Vancouver Canucksscored more goals than anyother team in the regularseason.

The Canucks offensiveengine is fuelled by a groupof mobile defencemen whocan move the puck quicklyand are not afraid to jumpinto the play when giventhe chance.

“They move the puckwell. You need your defenceto help you offensively,”captain Henrik Sedin saidyesterday after practice.“They’re going to be theguys to make the first pass.They’re going to join therush. If you don’t have that,it’s tough to score in thisleague.”

Putting a road block infront of Vancouver’s de-fencemen is something theSan Jose Sharks will need todo when they face theCanucks in Game 2 of theWestern Conference finaltonight. The Sharks lostSunday’s opening game 3-2.

Vancouver defencemanKevin Bieksa tied that gamein the third period on a passfrom Alex Burrows.

“Offence from our de-

fence has been a big part ofour team’s success all year,”said Bieksa, who has twogoals and three assists inthe playoffs. “It’s just a mat-ter of reading when theright time is.”

The top gun on theCanucks defence is Chris-tian Ehrhoff, who fed Hen-rik Sedin for the winninggoal Sunday.

Ehrhoff has two goalsand eight assists for 10points in the playoffs, sec-ond in scoring among de-fencemen behind San Jose’sDan Boyle, who has 12points (two goals, 10 as-sists).

Vancouver’s defencehelped the Canucks earn aleague-leading 262 goalsand allow the least with 241over the regular season. THE CANADIAN PRESS

‘From Day 1 this year (blue-liners)have been the backbone of ourteam,’ says captain Henrik Sedin

Clowe says it’s time forSharks to get physicalRyane Clowe vows the Van-couver Canucks won’t getoff as easy in Game 2 of theWestern Conference final.

The rugged forward saysCanucks defencemen canexpect to be pounded intothe end boards while re-trieving pucks from nowon.

That didn’t happenenough in Vancouver’s 3-2victory in Game 1 andClowe, a six-foot-two, 220-pound left-winger, intendsto do something about ittonight.

“We’ve obviously got big

forwards and (deliveringhits) is definitely a part ofmy game,” said Clowe.

Yet the Fermeuse, N.L.,native has hands softenough to generate fourgoals and 13 points thispost-season to tie Joe Thorn-ton for the team lead.

“Last game it was justone of those games where itwas tough to get ... rhythmor momentum going,”Clowe said.

“That comes off a lot ofthings but a lot of it has todo with wearing themdown. That’s a big part ofmy game and we’ve got alot of forwards 220-plus.”THE CANADIAN PRESS

Lumsdenchoosessled overgridironJesse Lumsden decided onefoot in bobsled and the oth-er in the Canadian FootballLeague won’t allow him tostep onto the podium at the2014 Winter Olympics.

The 28-year-old Canadianrunning back confirmedyesterday he had closed thedoor on his football careerto concentrate on movingfrom the back of the bob-sled to the front.

Once considered Cana-da’s best running backwhen healthy, Lumsdenwants to become the coun-try’s top bobsled pilot andwin a gold medal in 2014.

He was a brakeman forPierre Lueders at the 2010Winter Games, finishingfifth in the two-man eventand seventh in the four-man race.

“I realized how technicalthe sport is, how precise itis and how good you haveto be to be fast,” Lumsdensaid during a news confer-ence at Canada OlympicPark in Calgary. “That’s thegoal. It’s not to get downthe hill anymore. It’s to befast.

“When I realized that, Irealized I had to put myheart and soul into the en-deavour. I don’t want to justplace and just get by. Forme to be No. 1 in the world,it’s going to require my fullattention.”

The six-foot-three, 228-pound Edmonton nativewon the 2004 Hec CrightonTrophy with McMaster asthe top player in Canadianuniversity football. He wasdrafted by the HamiltonTiger-Cats.

But his pro career wasstar-crossed with injuries.

Lumsden had 1,842 rush-ing yards — most of themin four seasons with Hamil-ton — and 10 touchdownsduring his CFL career. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Killebrewdead atage 74Harmon Killebrew, the af-fable, big-swinging Hall ofFamer whose tape-mea-sure home runs madehim the corner-stone of the Min-nesota Twins andperhaps the mostpopular player inthe team’s 51-yearhistory, died yes-terday after bat-tling esophagealcancer. He was 74.

The Twins saidKillebrew passedaway peacefully at hishome in Scottsdale, Ariz.,with his wife, Nita, andtheir family at his side. Heannounced his diagnosisjust six months ago, andlast week Killebrew saidhe was settling in for thefinal days of his life after

doctors deemed the “aw-ful disease” incurable.

Killebrew is 11th onbaseball’s all-time homerun list after an excep-tional 22-year career. Hiseight seasons with 40 ormore homers is still tiedfor second in league histo-ry to Babe Ruth, and hisuppercut swing formedthe silhouette that in-spired Major League Base-

ball’s officiallogo.

At TargetField, wherethe videoboard showeda picture ofKillebrew,members ofthe Twins’ground crewslowly lifted

home plate and slippedunder it a plastic-encased,black-and-white photo ofKillebrew winding up fora swing. The picture, be-lieved to be from the1960s, will stay beneaththe plate the rest of theseason. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

No lucky bounce for RapsCavs win top NBA draft pick with stunning rise Toronto falls to fifth

The Cleveland Cavaliers gota huge jump on their post-LeBron James rebuildingprocess last night, winningthe lottery and the No. 1 se-lection in next month’sNBA draft.

Turning a pick they ac-quired from the Los Ange-les Clippers into the No. 1selection, the Cavs willchoose first for the firsttime since 2003, when theydrafted James.

He left for Miami lastsummer and the Cavs tum-bled to the second-worstrecord in the league, butthey will have two top-fourpicks next month. Theirown pick is No. 4.

Cavs owner Dan Gilbertsent his son and “hero,”Nick, 14, to the podium inSecaucus, N.J., and the kidcame up with a stunningvictory, as the Clippers’pick, originally, had only a

2.8 per cent chance of land-ing at the top.

Nick Gilbert was bornwith Neurofibromatosis, anerve disorder that causestumours to grow anywhere

in the body at any time. The Cavs will likely de-

cide between point guardKyrie Irving of Duke or Ari-zona forward DerrickWilliams as the top pick.

Minnesota will select sec-ond and Utah turned NewJersey’s pick from theDeron Williams trade intothe No. 3 selection.

The Toronto Raptors hadthe third-best chance atpicking first, but droppedto fifth.

The Timberwolves con-tinued their lottery losingstreak, dropping for theeighth time. They had a 25per cent chance of winningafter finishing with aleague-worst 17-65 record.

It was an important yearto finish near the top. Withthe league’s uncertainlabour situation, the draft isnot considered particularlydeep. North Carolina’s Har-rison Barnes and Ohio Statecentre Jared Sullinger wereamong the expected lotterypicks who instead decidedto return to school.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colangelo stays

Bryan Colangelo will

remain the man in charge

of rebuilding the Toronto

Raptors.

The team’s president andGM agreed to a multi-yearcontract extension yester-day.“I’m very pleased to get thisresolved and I look forwardto following through on thenext critical phase ofrebuilding our basketballteam,” Colangelo said in astatement.Toronto had the third-worstrecord in the NBA in 2010-11. Colangelo representedthe team at the NBA draftlottery last night. The Raptors have until mid-June to exercise the optionyear on coach Jay Triano’scontract. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Engine The Veloster’s 138-horsepower 1.6-litre engine has the same output asthe previous Elantra’s 1.8-litreengine, however numerous techno-logical improvements have enabledmany automakers, includingHyundai, to reduce engine displace-ment to improve fuel economy with-out losing any power.

The back section of the Veloster is haunched up to make head room for the rear passengers.

The design was apparently inspired by sport motorcycles. Honestly, not that obvious.

The Veloster: Hyundai’s next game-changer

InteriorThe interior provides seating for fourpassengers and has easy-to-read gaugesand control-panel knobs for the driver.

In terms of optional features, there isan upgraded interior, push-button start,up-level 450-watt sound package, navi-gation system, panoramic sunroof and18-inch alloy wheels (17-inch alloys arestandard).

Rear doorThe key design element of the Veloster isthe well-camouflaged full-sized front-hinged rear door.

It differs from other rear-hingedopenings (such as those found on the Maz-da RX-8 or the retired Saturn coupe) in thatit can be accessed from the outside orinside and doesn’t require the front passen-ger door to be unlatched first.

BASE PRICE:

$21,000

Kia Forte KoupBase price: $20,450More formal than itsHyundai counterpart.Two strong I4 enginechoices.

WHEELBASE MEDIA

There’s something ratherodd going on at Hyundaithese days. It’s name isVeloster and it has three dif-ferent-sized passengerdoors.

Yes, the 2012 Veloster isan oddity.

The lack of portal sym-metry certainly sets it apartfrom virtually anything elseon the road, which is exact-

ly what Hyundai’s design-ers have been striving forlately. When you considerhow dramatically differentthe latest Sonata andElantra sedans appear fromtheir respective main-stream peers, it was almosta forgone conclusion thatshredding the styling enve-lope would continue.

The Veloster, availablelate this summer, is theslow-to-arrive replacementfor the Tiburon sport coupe

that was phased out follow-ing the 2008 model year.

Hyundai always plannedto replace its entry-level“shark” (that’s whatTiburon means in Spanish),but it first focused onlaunching the upstart Gene-sis coupe that runs in thesame rear-wheel-drive classas the Ford Mustang, ChevyCamaro and Dodge Chal-lenger, but without the V8option, of course.

By comparison, the

front-wheel-drive Velosterplays in a different sandboxwhere affordability and fueleconomy are as importantas eye-catching styling.

In all three areas, theVeloster could become a se-rious category crusher.

The Veloster will likelybecome another game-changing model forHyundai. Count this as yetanother groundbreakingdesign in the company’s re-cent automotive arsenal.

HONDA’S ASIMO ROBOT IS HIGH TECH ... AND CUTEAUTO PILOT

MIKE GOETZDRIVE@METRONEWS.CA

Honda designs andbuilds a lot ofvehicles. Honda hasalso developedASIMO, one of theworld’s mostadvanced humanoidrobots.

At first blush itdoesn’t seemlike the twoenterpriseshave much incommon. Like

Tim Hortons having a divi-sion that builds canoes.

But according to Honda,the thing that binds carsand trucks, motorcycles,

the new HondaJet, and hu-manoid robots all togetheris that they all contributeto human “mobility.”

ASIMO is designed to bea helper to people whohave limited mobility, suchas those confined to wheel-chairs and beds.

I know what you’rethinking — can ASIMOhelp me if I’m just lazy? Idon’t see why not. Like,how’s it going to know?

I had a chance to see ASI-MO last week, at its visit tothe Ontario Science Centrein Toronto, where it per-formed to an appreciativeaudience of young stu-dents.

Or maybe the studentswere just happy to get theday off from school.

Either way, they ap-plauded and cheered whenASIMO responded to ques-tions from his handler,kicked a soccer ball, stoodon one leg, walked up anddown a flight of steps andran across the stage.

Very impressive indeed.

After the “performance,”ASIMO was joined on stageby Eric Wedin, projectleader of the ASIMO team,to take some questionsfrom the students, and oneof the first questions wentright to the heart of thematter: “How much moneyhas Honda spent on ASI-MO?”

“ASIMO is a priceless

piece of R&D technology,”was Wedin’s practiced re-ply.

Other questions were, inturn, insightful and slightlyoff the wall. I preferredthose in the latter group,like … “Can ASIMOswim?”… “Can ASIMO trav-el on rough ground?” …“Could you put a jet-packon ASIMO?”

The subtext of this lineof questioning seemed, tome at least, that the young-sters had no pressing needfor ASIMO’s help aroundthe kitchen, but would loveto pal around with a miniIronman that would giveyou some ‘cred around theneighbourhood. Why makea robot if it can’t shootlasers?

Later, I asked Wedin toexpound on the decision tomake ASIMO so cute.

He said cuteness and asmall scale (just over fourfeet) were definite designcriteria, considering its“people helper” role.

At that height it can re-late better at eye-level toimmobilized individuals.Makes sense… Who wantsa seven-foot robot bringingyou some porridge?

Robots don’t have to behumanoid. In fact, theymight be more useful andcapable if they took onsome other form.

According to Wedin, ASI-MO is humanoid because ofthe comfort factor and be-cause it needs to operate inenvironments that havebeen optimized for hu-manoids — like homes,schools and hospitals.

The human form obvi-ously works too, so it’s notthe worst one to research— even if your businessmodel is currently based onwheeled devices.

Standing at four-feet, three inches tall, Honda’s ASIMO robot weighs 119 pounds.

2011 MAZDA 3Bubbles like an Aero bar

There’s an old saying inhorse racing, “Weight willstop a freight train.”

It refers to the fact that,in certain races, faster hors-es will have weights put intheir saddles to even outthe field.

Similarly, weight is an is-sue in cars, where more fu-el is needed to movearound any excess flab.

Making componentslighter is now a prioritywith automakers, includingFord, which will be usingits MuCell technology inthe future to reduce theweight of certain plasticparts.

These don’t look any dif-ferent from solid plasticparts on the outside, but ifyou were to cut one in half,you’d see that the plastic isfilled with millions of tiny

bubbles, just like an Aerochocolate bar.

The technology was ini-tially developed by the Mas-sachusetts Institute ofTechnology in the late1980s, but Ford says it hasnot yet been used in the au-tomotive industry.

“Basically what we do istake a gas such as nitrogen,and we mix it with themolten plastic when we’reready to injection-mould,”says Ellen Lee, a technicalexpert in plastics researchat Ford.

“When you mould the

part and it solidifies, it hasmillions of uniform bub-bles, so that we can reducethe amount of material weuse and reduce the weight.”

MuCell can only be usedin thermal plastic, the typethat is melted and thenformed by injection mould-ing or extrusion.

This type of plastic al-ways shrinks when it hard-ens, but Lee says that theMuCell product shrinksmore uniformly, fills themould quickly and evenly,and requires less time toproduce parts.

This photo illustrates the bubbles that are inside the

plastic of Ford’s MuCell technology.

Welcome to the Light ClubThe first rule of Light Club is that every gram counts ... the second rule of Light Club is that every gram counts

Three words — everygram counts —frame the engineer-ing mindset at Audi

these days as it delves intothe science of lightweightconstruction and its ef-fects on vehicle safety, per-formance, efficiency andemissions.

But simple words don’talways translate into easyaction.

Achieving lightness hasbecome incredibly com-plex business.

In addition to reducingthe weight of individualcomponents and systems,carbon-fibre-reinforcedplastics (CFRPs) are joiningaluminum and ultra-high-strength steels to make ve-hicle bodies that are notjust lighter, but almost in-destructible.

CFRPs and exotic resinsare layered, molded,pressed, formed andbaked in giant ovens intocomponents that arestronger than steel butweigh almost half asmuch.

The new plastics do notlend themselves easily to

mass production andworking with carbon fibrehas traditionally beenboth time — and labour-intensive.

But Audi says it hasmade breakthroughs indealing with the new-ageplastics.

A lighter body is thestarting point for weightreductions on other partsof the car as engineerswork to shave “every pos-sible gram” (without com-promising durability orfunction) from the drive-train, suspension, passen-ger compartment,electrical system and theelectronics.

Lightweight construc-tion is a “strategic” policythat Audi’s competitorsare only now beginning toadopt, said Aliois Feld-schmid, head of total vehi-

cle development.“A lighter car acceler-

ates, brakes and cornersbetter and has sustainableeconomic and ecologicalresults.”

In an industry wherethe rule has been that ve-hicles get bigger and heav-ier over time, Audi is

attempting “reversing theweight spiral.”

The company has devel-oped “competence” overthe past 30 years in theuse of combined materi-als, said Feldschmid.

It has incorporated car-bon fibre into its carssince first using it for body

parts on the original 1980Audi Quattro.

Different materials withdifferent strengths requirenew technologies to jointhem, not only in metal-on-metal applications, butalso metal-on-plastic, saidDr. Klaus Koglin, head oftechnical development.

Lambo lightness

In Sant’Agata Bolognese,Italy, Audi subsidiary Lam-borghini — the maker ofexotic sports cars — has in-corporated into its newflagship Aventador LP700-4, for the first time in anyseries production road ve-hicle, a full monocoquebody structure madeentirely from carbon fibre.

Rather than a body thatsits on a separate frame, amonocoque design usesthe body as the framestructure.

In a process that is stilllabour intensive andexpensive, Lamborghinihas taken the timerequired to complete a fullbody-in-white (theunpainted vehicle’s basicbody structure, includingsheet metal but minusbolt-on components, likedoors) to just over 120hours from several weeks.

The entire “shell” weighsjust 147 kilograms yet is sorigid that any bending ortwisting of the structureunder conditions ofextreme loading is virtual-ly non-existent and unde-tectable by humans.

Stiffness is crucial for safe-ty as well as providing aplatform for razor-sharphandling where thesuspension does not haveto compensate for a flimsychassis.

Carbon fibre begins as a

pliable product with the

resin built right in. It’s

formed into a mold, by

hand, put into a plastic bag

and all the air is drawn out.

It’s perfectly suited to the

low-volume, high-performance

requirements of an

ultra-expensive sports car such

as the Lamborghini Aventador.

The body of Audi’snewest A8 limousineis 40 per cent lighter,and considerablystronger, than if itwere made of steel.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4’s entire

carbon-fibre body shell (above) weighs 147

Avenger/Sebring look reliable, but may suffer from driveline electronics problems

Twins: Platform-sharing pleasures

2008 Dodge Avenger

TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Platform sharing broughtthe Chrysler Sebring andDodge Avenger into 2007and 2008, respectively, on anew platform while offer-ing new styling, engines

and features. These corporate twins

from Chrysler were offeredin a sedan model, while theSebring could be had as anaffordable convertible.

Power came from a 2.4-litre four-cylinder enginewith 172 horsepower, or a3.5-litre V6 with 235. Lookfor four or six-speed auto-matic transmissions.

All models were front-wheel drive, though All

Wheel Drive (AWD) couldbe specified on certainmodels in certain years.

Look for features like au-tomatic climate control,heated leather seats, a sun-roof, premium audio byBoston Acoustics, naviga-tion, Bluetooth and sexyLED interior lighting.

Consider either the Se-bring or Avenger as an al-ternative to models like theHonda Accord, Toyota Cam-

ry, Ford Fusion or ChevroletMalibu.

Common issues to

be aware of

Among the most commonproblems reported withthis generation of Sebringand Avenger were relatedto electronics. Stalling, spo-radic power delivery andeven transmission drive-ability issues could all beelectronics related — so besure to ask the seller if

they’ve ever experiencedsuch problems andwhether or not they’vebeen rectified.

Some owners say thestalling issue is more preva-lent in cold or damp weath-er and at low speeds.

GETTING TUNED-UP FOR SPRING

It’s that time of year.

Outdoor choresstart and weget more mo-bile as thedays getlonger and

warmer. Cleaning uparound the garden andgetting that spring tune-up are two common ritu-als of the season.

Automobile techniciansrecommend giving your ve-hicle a tune-up regularly inorder to keep it runningsmoothly and efficiently.Dealerships often advertisedeals on springtime tune-ups alongside lube, oil andfilter offers but few mo-torists likely know what isinvolved in this process.

Years ago a tune-up con-sisted of various measuresthat have become obsoletedue to advancements in au-tomotive technology. Goneare the days of painstaking-ly ensuring your distributorpoints are properly alignedand moderating your vehi-

cle’s air to fuel ratio by fid-dling with the carburetor.

Thanks to the incorpora-tion of materials like plat-inum, spark plugs don’teven have to be replaced asoften as they used to. That’snot to say your vehicle ismaintenance-free by anymeans. So what should bedone in the spring?

The Electronic ControlUnit (ECU) is a computer-ized, modern-day version ofthe aforementioned tech-nologies. Based on informa-tion like engine coolanttemperature, barometricpressure and air flow, theECU determines optimumsettings for the fuel injec-tion system, ignition timingand idle speed.

Your technician can en-sure that all of these aspectsare running as they shouldbe. These are all things thatcan contribute to excessiveemissions, as well as the fu-el mileage your car is get-ting, which is an importantthing to note as gas quicklyapproaches $1.50/L.

I asked one of our mem-ber dealers, Bob Redinger,owner of Ready Honda,what he suggests.

“A yearly tune-up allowsfor a professional to checkyour vehicle’s belts, hosesand fluid levels, whichcould identify damage orleaks early on rather thanleaving you stranded on theside of the road,” Redingersaid. “Spring is also a goodtime to have your air condi-tioning checked since itlikely hasn’t been usedsince last summer.”

Cars are increasingly so-phisticated machines thatrequire a certain element ofpreventive maintenance inorder to keep them run-ning at their optimum lev-els. A tune-up is therefore aregularly scheduled oppor-tunity to perform preven-tive maintenance that mayseem unnecessary at thetime, but can prevent fu-ture issues that will proveeven more costly and ulti-mately extend the life ofyour vehicle.

Redemption allowances† range from $700 - $2,000.

Don’t letheadrests fallto the back ofyour mind

While buckling seatbelts issecond nature when get-ting into a car — howmany of us think to adjustthe headrest?

Reports show that head-rests are one of the mostoverlooked safety featuresin motor vehicles todayand many don’t realize theimportant role they play inpreventing neck, brain andspinal cord related in-juries.

“Headrests are designedto work alongside the seat-belt so that when an acci-

dent occurs it prevents thehead from twisting back-wards, which subsequentlyresults in whiplash,” ex-plains Mauro Convertini,an insurance and claimsexpert at Aviva Canada.

“Drivers can sustain aninjury from an incorrectlyadjusted headrest even atspeeds as low as 15 kilome-tres per hour — the samespeed as the average bicy-cle.”

According to an Insur-ance Bureau of Canadastudy, only 14 per cent of

drivers on the road havetheir headrest in the prop-er position.

And whiplash being themost common soft tissueinjury incurred during au-to collisions underlines theimportance for all passen-gers to ensure their head-rest is adjusted properly.

Aviva’s Convertini rec-ommends that Canadiandrivers follow three simplesteps in order to preventinjuries associated withimproper headrest posi-tion.

1 The top of the head-rest should be in astraight line with thetop of your head.

2 Position the centre ofyour headrest so thatit is slightly above thetop of the ear.

3 Ensure that thedistance between theheadrest and theback of the head isbetween five and tencentimetres.NEWS CANADA Proper position crucial for safety
