Spurs handle Raptors for sixth straight win, look back in form
The San Antonio Spurs have accomplished enough in the last 15 years to have earned the benefit of the doubt during cold streaks, but fans could be forgiven for questioning their ability to contend after recent struggles in the midst of the team's annual (and usually very solid) Rodeo Road Trip. After starting off the nine-game jaunt at 2-1, San Antonio fell into a four-game slide after the All-Star Break that included convincing losses to ostensible peers like the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, and Portland Trail Blazers. Worse yet, future Hall of Fame point guard Tony Parker endured several of the worst games of his career and looked to be a shell of the player he was just a few months prior.

Why Tom Cruise and John Travolta can't leave Scientology, according to the HBO documentary 'Going Clear'
When L. Ron Hubbard founded the Church of Scientology in February 1954 in Los Angeles, one of his main pillars in building its membership was courting celebrities. A year after the church was founded, it created a long list of celebrities to recruit, a ccording to Lawrence Wright's best-selling book " Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & The Prison of Belief." The list reportedly included Hollywood royalty like Marlene Dietrich, Walt Disney, Jackie Gleason, John Ford, Bob Hope, and Howard Hughes. It's hard to find evidence of these legends ever entertaining the idea of joining the church, but it appears that Hubbard saw movie stars as a way of legitimizing Scientology. Six decades later, Hubbard's premonition proved to be correct.

Trudeau's Toronto speech 'obscene,' says multiculturalism minister Kenney
Defence and multiculturalism minister Jason Kenney is hitting back at Justin Trudeau after the Liberal party leader accused the Conservative government of stoking fear and prejudice against Muslim Canadians. On Monday night, Trudeau delivered a speech at the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada in Toronto and said the government is using the same kind of rhetoric against Muslims as the country has in other past, shameful, periods.

B.C. agency hails experimental treatment that sent cancer to remission in weeks
Trish Keating's cancer was a particularly vicious breed of monster. Keating, who worked as costume designer in the film industry, was told in late 2013 that the cancer had returned once again and this time it was terminal.

David Gutierrez moved from the Philippines to Pictou, N.S., five years ago and landed a job at a Subway restaurant. The federal government is refusing to renew his temporary foreign worker permit, following a crackdown last year on the program to cut the number of such workers in Canada. The federal government introduced new rules last June barring employers from hiring low-wage temporary foreign workers in regions where the unemployment rate is above six per cent, and requiring employers to cap the number of foreign workers they hire at 10 per cent by 2016.

Flight attendant in nut rage case sues Korean Air and chairman's daughter
A flight attendant who was harassed by a former Korean Air Lines Co. vice-president in what became known as the nut rage case filed a civil lawsuit against the airline and the executive. Kim Do Hee, the flight attendant, is seeking compensation for damages that were caused to her career, reputation and emotional well-being after Kim was verbally and physically attacked by Cho Hyun-ah, who is also the daughter of the airline chairman, according to a statement on Wednesday by two American law firms, the Weinstein Law Firm and Kobre & Kim. Cho, then a vice-president overseeing cabin service, became enraged at the way Kim served macadamia nuts to her — in a bag not in a bowl — as the plane was set to leave New York on a flight to Incheon, South Korea on Dec. 5.
