Wednesday, June 13, 2012edmontonNews worth sharing.

Tree-lined streets, commun-ity events and established businesses are reasons Karen Mykietka likes her mature Ed-monton neighbourhood.

And that’s why the Alberta Avenue community league president isn’t surprised there is more home construction in the city’s core and mature areas.

According to city reports re-

leased Tuesday, development in new neighbourhoods decreased slightly in 2011 from 2010, while it was the highest it’s been in 10 years in older neigh-bourhoods.

“I think the city is doing a good job,” said Mykietka, “but is going to have to show in their actions that this continues to be a priority.”

In 2011, 19 per cent of dwellings constructed were in mature neighbourhoods — up from 17 per cent in 2010. The multi-family-unit trend continued, with a net gain of 1,095 and a net loss of 30 single-family homes.

The goal is to eventually have 25 per cent of units built in mature areas, near LRT and transit centres, each year.

“And that’s set as a min-imum target,” said Gord Jack-son, the city’s director of urban planning and environment. “It’s apparent through these numbers that we’re headed in that direction.”

Rideau Park, Griesbach and Boyle Street had the highest net unit gain in 2011, while the most permits for home construction were issued in Griesbach, Alberta Avenue and Strathcona. HeatHer McIntyre/Metro

France’s political circles were up in arms over a tweet by President Francois Hollande’s girlfriend. Scan the

code to read about how Valérie Trierweiler

dominated the news and the blogosphere

most of Tuesday.

For many, working and liv-ing are one and the same.

Live/work space is ideal for artists though not easy to come by in Edmonton, something potential zoning-bylaw amendments could change.

“What we hope to do is focus that definition; it’s a

new definition for Edmon-ton,” said Katherine Kerr, program co-ordinator with the Arts Habitat Association.

The city released pro-posed amendments for com-mercial zones last month.

Paul Kozak, senior plan-ner with the city’s zoning-bylaw implementation unit, said the goal is to develop space for arts programs and activities, including places where artists can both live and work.

“We wanted to make sure zoning wasn’t standing in the way,” said Kozak.

There are plans for live/work space in the Quarters, he added, then asked: “But why only there?”

Artists can obtain a home-business licence or renovate

a garage into a studio, but “a new definition will probably encourage more live/work,” said Kerr.

And there is demand.ArtsHab1 opened in 1999

with 10 live/work spaces — the first in Edmonton — each between 500 and 900 square feet, with 14-foot ceilings.

Painter Jeff Collins, a resi-dent since 2001, appreciates

similar options could open up in other commercial areas, but would also like to see them in industrial zones.

“But it’s a process,” he said. “It’s a dialogue that’s happening now, which is a really positive thing.”

Jeff Collins is seen in his live/work space in ArtsHab1 at 102 Avenue and 106 Street in downtown Edmonton, where photographers, playwrights, fi lmmakers,musicians and fellow painters also live. HEATHER MCINTYRE/METRO

• Other amendments, as well as a way to provide feedback, can be found by searching “arts related uses” on edmonton.ca.

• The proposed amend-ments are slated for a public hearing before city council this fall.

Pride Festival

Smith has fences to mend: LGBT spokesmanA spokesman for Edmonton’s gay-and-lesbian community said Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith was welcome at a Pride Festival event on Tuesday, but he warned she had a lot of fences to mend.

Kristopher Wells said Smith needs to repair relationships after questioning whether public funding should be used for sex-change operations and for refusing to sanction a candidate who said all gays will burn in a “lake of fire.”

“Myself, like many in the LGBT community, are still waiting for Danielle Smith to apologize for those comments,” said Wells.

Wells, along with Edmonton police chief Rod Knecht, hosted an open house Tuesday at a south-side police station, an event that was part of the city’s Pride week.THE CANADIAN PRESS

School policy

EPSB will deal with zero-grade controversyThe controversy over the awarding of zero grades will come under discussion at the Edmonton Public School Board.

A nationwide debate erupted over Ross Shepherd High School teacher Lynden Dorval’s decision to defy school policy, and give stu-dents zeros for incomplete work. School policy forbids awarding students zeros; Dorval was suspended for insubordination.

Trustee Michael Janz put forward a motion to debate the issue at the close of Tuesday’s board meeting. The matter will not be discussed among trustees until the board’s next meeting in the fall.METRO

In 10 days, Edmonton will be full of red-hot jazz acts from across the city and around the world during the Edmonton International Jazz Festival.

Performers for this year’s festival, held June 22 to July 1, include Chris Botti, Eliane Elias, Wayne Shorter Quartet and Mike Stern Band, along with a plethora of local favourites.

“Our goal is to continue of-fering high-level artistic pro-gramming. I’m very happy

to say over 50 per cent of our program is still Edmonton art-ists,” said festival producer Kent Sangster.

Performances are held at a number of Edmonton venues, including the Winspear Centre, the Citadel’s MacLab Theatre and Churchill Square. A full list of venues is available online at EdmontonJazz.com.

“Our intention here is to

offer the same artistic program-ming at an affordable price in an area that you can walk (to),” Sangster said.

Ticket prices vary de-pending on the venue, but jazz lovers can buy a $49 Johnny Jazz Weekend Pass to gain ac-cess to performances at Maclab Theatre, Yardbird Suite and Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre from June 22 to June 24.

Reproductive success

Monarch butterflies pay royal visit to cityBug watchers are buzzing over an unusually large in-flux of rarely seen monarch butterflies in the Edmonton area.

And even more impres-sive is a sighting of a giant, mint-green luna moth in Fort McMurray.

Matthias Buck, assistant curator of invertebrate zoology at the Royal Alberta Museum, said the first mon-arch sighting report came in June 7, and more reports have since been “pouring in” from around the area. Edmonton’s entomologist (insect experts) commun-ity is particularly excited, as monarchs — one of the world’s most iconic butter-flies — are seen very rarely in Edmonton.

Monarchs migrate by the millions to winter in Mexico, returning in the spring to the southern U.S. Their offspring migrate further north to Canada, getting as far as southern Alberta. This far north, however, is rare.

Buck believes the mon-archs had “good reproduct-ive success” in the U.S., and were carried into the Edmonton area on strong southerly winds. Although monarchs can be mistaken for the similar-looking vice-roy, reports of monarchs have been confirmed by entomologists. Sightings have been reported all around the Edmonton area.Maurice Tougas/MeTro

Oil-leak aftermath

Drinking water near spill normal: Pipeline firmThe owner of a pipeline that leaked oil into a central Alberta river says drinking-water samples have almost all been normal.

Plains Midstream Can-ada spokesman Stephen Bart says monitoring is be-ing done at 18 locations along the Red Deer River and at a man-made reservoir twice a day.

He says all the readings — except one on the first day — have been within Alberta guidelines for drink-ing water. The Canadian Press

space at a premium. More park ’n’ ride is needed as LrT expands, city saysThe need for more park ’n’ ride became evident to city council-lors during a committee meet-ing on Tuesday.

A 1,300-stall lot originally slated for 75 Street near White-mud Drive on the southeast LRT expansion is proposed to move north to Wagner Road, and transportation general manager Bob Boutilier said parking options will also be looked at for the west line.

But some of those tempor-ary spots, along with others, will likely never be elimin-ated due to need, even when a permanent lot at Heritage Val-ley opens up in a few years at 127 Street and Ellerslie Road.

A long-range plan will con-

sider the location and number of spaces, as well as how to pay for them, said Boutilier.MeTro

Alberta Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, seen here during the recent provincialelection, is expected to face a leadership test at this weekend’s partymeeting. The Canadian Press File

alberta Liberals to vote on leadership at meeting

Alberta Liberals will meet in Calgary on Sunday, with the future of leader Raj Sherman on the agenda.

Party members will be asked if they want a leader-ship convention, and while Sherman won’t predict how the vote will go, one long-time Liberal MLA thinks Sherman will survive the vote.

“I supported having an early AGM to settle the question,” said Sherman, who has been leader only since December.

“I’m asking the grass-roots of the party for sup-port.”

Sherman won’t say if he has a particular percentage

in mind that will allow him to carry on effectively as leader, but Edmonton MLA Laurie Blakeman feels Sher-man will get a solid show of support.

“I expect him to win it. I don’t expect any issues around it.”

The party has been through a lot of upheaval, and she feels that party members want stability.

However, she’s “keen” on some kind of discus-sion with the Alberta Party about co-operation between the two parties.

There is no chance of any kind of deal with the New Democrats as long as Brian Mason is leader, she said.

Sadness for a giant of the oceanA beach in British Columbia is the final resting place for this young humpback whale, and a crowd pays its last respects — even laying a bouquet of flowers. The whale became entangled in a fishing net and died after grounding itself during low tide on white Rock Beach, south of Vancouver. Fisheries official Paul Cottrell said of the emaciated eight- to 10-metre-long juvenile: “It had been struggling for a long time and likely hadn’t been eating for a long time.” darryl dyck/the canadian press

Quebec. student groups’ lawyers fighting to have protest law suspendedLawyers were heading to court Tuesday to challenge a controversial Quebec law brought in to deal with stu-dent protests.

The government intro-duced the law as a way to cool down the heated protests.

But it may have backfired politically, as protests have grown larger, attracted more diverse crowds, and spread to different cities.

Nearly 20 lawyers repre-senting student federations and other groups are trying to get parts of the law tem-porarily suspended until they can argue the merits.

Bill 78 came into force in mid-May, but police across the province have rarely ap-plied it.

The legal motion being heard in court is one of two challenging the emergency law. The second seeks to have Bill 78 declared invalid alto-gether, and will be heard at a later date.

The law lays out rules for demonstrations, such as or-dering assemblies of more than 50 people to give eight hours’ notice of the protest route and the estimated dur-

ation of the event. It also sets hefty fines for

people who contravene the law.

A lawyer arguing on be-half of students says the gov-ernment treats student as-sociations like labour unions without giving them the same rights.the canadian press

Muslims fleeing Myanmar violence blocked

Bangladesh on Tuesday turned away three boats carrying 1,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in neighbouring Myanmar.

This brings to 1,500 the number of refugees blocked in recent days, officials said.

“They have been chased away,” police official Jahan-gir Alam said by phone from Saint Martins Island in the Bay of Bengal after the three boats attempted to approach the shore of the island.

“We are keeping our eyes open so that nobody can en-ter Bangladesh illegally.”

Violence between Bud-dhists and minority Muslims

in western Myanmar has left at least 12 people dead and hundreds of homes burned since Friday.

Bangladesh earlier said it sent back 11 boats with about 500 Rohingya Muslims

aboard in the past three days. Foreign Minister Dipu Moni said at a news conference in the capital, Dhaka, that it was not in Bangladesh’s interest to accept any refugees. the associated press

Egypt

Liberals boycott parliamentary sessionEgypt’s march to democ-racy hit another obstacle Tuesday when liberals boycotted a parliament-ary session called to name members of a panel to draw up a new constitu-tion.

They complained that Islamists are trying to dominate the process.

A new constitution is key to Egypt’s turbulent transition to democratic rule after decades of au-thoritarian regimes. Egyp-tians hope the charter will curtail presidential power. the associated press

Afghanistan

Karzai orders coalition not to fire on homesAfghan President Hamid Karzai declared on Tues-day that NATO aircraft can no longer fire on homes under any circumstances.

His statement is an indication that the con-flict over NATO airstrikes that kill civilians — in-cluding one that left 18 dead last week — remains unresolved.

Following an outcry over the attack in Logar province, which killed children, teenagers and adults, NATO imposed new limits on airstrikes. the associated press

Angry crowds blocked UN observers from reaching an embattled rebel-held town in Syria on Tuesday, hurling stones and metal rods at the monitors’ vehicles.

Their vehicles came under fire as they drove away from Haffa, but the source of the gunfire was not clear, the UN said. None of the observers was injured.

The situation in Haffa has raised alarm over the past eight days, and there are concerns civilians are stuck in the area while the regime and rebel fighters battle for control.

Washington said Monday that regime forces may be preparing a massacre in rebel-held Haffa — a village about 30 kilometres from President Bashar Assad’s hometown of Kardaha.

It’s not clear why the crowd wanted to prevent the observers from entering, but the Britain-based Syrian Ob-servatory for Human Rights said earlier that residents of a nearby village were trying to block the observers. The group said the residents were mostly regime loyalists.the associated press

Civil war near, some say

Both sides in the 15-month-old revolt to oust President Bashar Assad have ignored an internationally brokered ceasefire that was to go into effect in April.

• Syria is veering closer to an all-out civil war as the conflict turns increas-ingly militarized.

Falkland Islands. Referendum will decide contentious governance issueThe Falkland Islands said Tuesday it plans a referendum next year on the political fu-ture of the tiny south Atlantic archipelago, seeking to end

Argentina’s claims of sover-eignty and to secure its status as a British territory. The an-nouncement came ahead of Thursday’s 30th anniversary

of the end of a brief 1982 war between Britain and Argen-tina over the islands, which saw more than 900 people die. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cops clear mom in old dingo case

Australians have overwhelm-ingly welcomed the final chap-ter of a mystery that has captiv-ated the country for 32 years: Did a dingo really take a baby that vanished from an Outback campsite in 1980?

A country that was once bit-terly divided on whether baby Azaria Chamberlain had been dragged away by a wild dog or murdered by her mother now largely agrees that the parents deserve the vindication a cor-oner’s court provided Tuesday.

A day after Azaria Cham-berlain would have turned 32, a coroner found that a dingo had taken her as a nine-week-old baby from a tent near Ayers Rock, the red monolith now known as Uluru.

Lindy Chamberlain-Creigh-

ton and her ex-husband, Mi-chael Chamberlain, teared up as the findings of the fourth inquest into their daughter’s disappearance were broadcast from a courtroom in Darwin to televisions around Australia.

The first inquest in 1981 had blamed a dingo but a second inquest charged Chamberlain-Creighton with murder. A third inquest in 1995 left the cause of death open. The case became famous through the movie A Cry in the Dark.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2012 Civics being recalled in CanadaHonda Canada is voluntar-ily recalling approximately 12,587 of its popular 2012 Civics in Canada.

The carmaker wants to inspect and, if necessary, replace the left driveshaft, which may not have been properly pressed into the CV joint during assembly. If the driveshaft separates from the joint, the engine will no longer propel the vehicle.

No accidents have been reported related to the issue. The canadian press

Airlines battle with ticketing firms over new booking systemsA passenger uses a self-check-in kiosk in Atlanta. extra legroom, special meals, access to the ViP lounge — and tickets to a musical? Airlines want to raise new revenues by selling such extras alongside tickets and are locked in battle with three com-panies that dominate the bookings industry over the introduction of a new global reservation system. Carriers complain the current system is a costly 1970s throwback without internet-era conven-ience. They want to cut out the global ticket-booking systems — sabre Holdings, Travelport Ltd. and Amadeus iT Group — that some reject as obsolete middlemen who add costs. bookings companies retort that they have invested to upgrade services and are working hard to meet carriers’ needs.

Bombardier Inc. shares soared in trading Tuesday following a major deal with one of re-nowned billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s companies, which is poised to buy up to $9.6 billion US worth of busi-ness jets and services.

Private-jet company NetJets Inc. signed a deal Monday to buy up to 275 Bombardier Challenger busi-ness jets that could be worth up to $7.3 billion US. There are 100 firm orders and op-tions on 175 more.

Bombardier said it has also signed a 15-year service-and-maintenance agreement for

the aircraft valued at as much as an additional $2.3 billion US if all options are exercised.

Bombardier shares gained more than six per cent, or 22 cents, to close at $3.87 on heavy volume of more than 21.2 million shares on the To-ronto Stock Exchange.

“This purchase demon-strates our long-term planning and represents our ongoing commitment to providing un-paralleled safety and service in aircraft uniquely custom-ized for our owners,” NetJets chairman and CEO Jordan Hansell said in a statement.

“We are confident that NetJets’ market leadership and strong foundation position us to make long-term investments in our business to differentiate our fleet in ways that no one else in the industry can.”

NetJets is a unit of Berk-shire Hathaway Inc., Buffett’s main company.

The deal includes 75 firm orders and 125 options for the Challenger 300 Series

aircraft as well as 25 firm or-ders and 50 options for the larger Challenger 605 Series aircraft. The firm orders are worth $2.6 billion US based on 2012 list prices.

The order follows a deal earlier this year that saw NetJets order up to 120 of Bombardier’s Global business jets in a deal worth as much as $6.7 billion US.

Deliveries are already ex-pected to increase this year and in 2013. The first Challenger 300 will be delivered in 2014 while the first larger Challen-ger 605 will be delivered in 2015. The canadian press

Bids for new internet suffixes include .lolIf Google has its way, people won’t need “Google.com” to do searches. They can simply go to “.Google.”

New York City wants In-ternet addresses ending in “.nyc,” while several compan-ies and groups are looking to create “.doctor,” “.music” and “.bank.” Google Inc. is also seeking “.YouTube” and “.lol” — the digital shorthand for “laugh out loud.” Others are looking to attract non-Eng-lish speakers with suffixes in a variety of languages.

Some 2,000 proposals have been submitted as part of the largest expansion of the In-ternet address system since its creation in the 1980s.

These suffixes would rival “.com” and about 300

others now in use. Compan-ies would be able to create separate websites and separ-ate addresses for each of their products and brands, for instance, even as they keep their existing “.com” name.

One day, you might go to “comedy.YouTube” rather than “YouTube.com/comedy.”

The organization behind the expansion, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, will an-nounce a full list and other details in London, England, on Wednesday.

It’ll take at least a year or two, however, for the first of these new suffixes to win approval and appear in use. Some of them never will if they are found to violate

trademarks or are deemed offensive. Others will be de-layed as competing bidders quarrel for easy-to-remember words such as “.web.” The associaTed press

Burger King wants to lure cus-tomers in the U.S. this summer with a barbecue party — and a bacon sundae.

The world’s second-biggest hamburger chain is launching several pork, beef and chicken sandwiches on Thursday as limited-time offers.

And for a sweet ending, the company is also offering

a bacon sundae — soft vanilla ice cream served with fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon — that started in Nashville earlier this year. The salty-sweet dessert clocks in at 510 calories, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar.

.what?

When Maria Sharapova won the French Open on Saturday, it was another victory for the Beautiful People.

Sharapova, all six-foot-two of her, is gorgeous. But, then, so are

a lot of tennis players these days. Somewhere along the line, right at Anna Kournikova, perhaps, it became important for female tennis players to be beautiful as well as talented.

Partial list: Daniela Hantuchova, Sabine Lisicki, Vera Zvona-reva, Lucie Safarova, Maria Kirilenko, Simona Halep, Tatiana Golovin, as well as the aforementioned Kournikova and Sharapova. Apparently, it doesn’t hurt if you’re Eastern European either.

One honest BBC producer has admitted that “babes and Brits” get the centre-court treatment at Wimbledon while less attractive players have to grunt it out on the outer courts.

But that’s the way of the world. If you’re gorgeous, you’re golden.

Daniel Hamermesh, a professor at the University of Texas in Austin and author of Beauty Pays, estimates that, in a lifetime, a bad-looking person can earn $230,000 less than a good-looking person, all other things being equal.

The truth about looking good is out there.In the job market: Attractive people get more job recom-

mendations, are considered more qualified, less likely to be fired, more likely to be hired, more likely to succeed, to be paid more, and to be promoted more frequently.

In the courts: Juries think physically attractive people are less likely to be guilty. Attractive people get lower bail, lighter sen-tences and smaller fines. Except maybe not Luka Magnotta. But imagine how much trouble he’d be in if he was really ugly?

In school: Attractive people get better grades.On Facebook: Attractive people are more “friended” than ugly

people. Sex: Attractive people get more dates, have more sex and even

have more orgasms.OK, too much information, perhaps. Good thing I’m attractive.Did I mention that, generally, men tend to overestimate their

good looks? Women go the opposite way. More than eight out of 10 hate the way they look in a mirror. One study showed women see themselves as fatter after eating a single chocolate bar. It would have to be a 35,000-calorie chocolate bar for that to be true.

Hamermesh — whose wife thinks he looks average — finds that 70 per cent of people agree on what’s attractive most of the time. It has to do with symmetry. The more symmetrical you look, the more attractive you are. Jug ears are out.

So that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” stuff is fine … just as long as you’re beautiful.

Have a nice day and, if possible, stay away from mirrors. They’re bad luck, in more ways than one.

Bengal tiger trafficking

three cubs rescued in house raidA caretaker bottle-feeds a rescued Bengal tiger cub in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Tuesday. Bangladeshi officials Monday rescued three Bengal tiger cubs from an alleged wildlife smuggler’s house in the capital.

The cubs, about two months old, had been captured in the southwest-ern Sundarbans mangrove forests in Bangladesh. the associated press

Endangered

• The suspected smug-gler in possession of the cubs at the time of the raid was arrested, the BBC reported.

• The cubs have been handed over to a pri-vate zoo until their fate is decided by a govern-ment committee.

• There are 440 Bengal tigers in Bangladesh and less than 2,500 worldwide, according to wildlife-conservation organization IUCN.

Rescued Bengal tiger cubs are pictured after a house raid in Bangladesh’s capital. The AFP reported the house was allegedly a hub for illegal wildlife trade, indicated by several empty cages. getty images

Alec Baldwin, left, and Tom Cruise star in Rock of Ages, a rock ’n’ roll musical that, like many other Hollywood fi lms based on popular music, has some historically accurate features. HANDOUT

Cruise stars as art imitates life (again) in Rock of Ages

In Rock of Ages Tom Cruise plays superstar Stacee Jaxx. He’s Ozzy Osbourne with Axl Rose’s attitude and Prince’s trademarked revealing chaps, a spicy stew of rebellion, decadence and Jack Daniels.

The first time we see Jaxx he’s on a round bed, buried under several scantily clad women. It’s a memorable first look at the character, but it’s not exactly an original one.

Director Adam Shankman admits that the idea came from

a similar scene — featuring KISS singer Paul Stanley — in the heavy metal documentary The Decline of Western Civil-ization Part II: The Metal Years.

It’s not the first time a music movie has taken its cue from real rock life.

For a year before shooting playing Jim Morrison in The Doors Val Kilmer immersed himself in the singer’s life, wearing his clothes and spend-ing time at the Lizard King’s favorite Sunset Strip bars.

Despite the film’s many factual errors — drummer John Densmore claims “A third of it is fiction” — the recording studio scene where Jim smashes a TV is true, and even Jim’s disgruntled ex-band mates said they couldn’t distinguish Kilmer’s voice from the real Morrison’s.

Joan Jett was annoyed that Kristen Stewart wore leather pants when playing her in The Runaways — it would have been more authentic if

she had worn jeans she said — but she was impressed with Stewart’s voice. When she first heard a recording of the actress belting out one of her songs she thought it was actually a tape of her old band.

Sex Pistols’ singer Johnny Rotten dismissed Sid and Nancy as “mere fantasy” but Gary Oldham bought at least one authentic bit of Sid to the film by wearing the bass player’s real chain necklace in several scenes.

Fantasy refl ects reality. Like other fi lms in the genre, this one draws on how rock stars live their lives

Grammy producer discusses

Houston docProducers of the 54th Grammy Awards have created a documentary

showing how they adapted to the news of

Whitney Houston’s death less than 24 hours before

the live telecast.A Death in the Family: The Show Must Go On

premiered Monday at the Academy of Television

Arts and Sciences’ head-quarters in Los Angeles.

Ken Ehrlich, who has produced the Grammy Awards for the past 32 years, introduced the fi lm and participated in a panel discussion

afterward with Recording Academy president Neil Portnow, Grammy host LL Cool J, musician Dave

Grohl and others.

Terence Winter has always had criminal leanings but fortunately the creator of the critically acclaimed Board-walk Empire channelled his lifelong obsession into some-thing good.

Boardwalk Empire is a period drama starring Steve Buscemi, focusing on Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, a political figure who rose to prominence and controlled At-

lantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s.

It has been renewed for a third season.

The inspiration that has driven him to spend much of his career writing about crimin-als — he was also a major writ-er on The Sopranos — came from an unexpected place.

“I’m always interested in criminals and crime. People ask me how this started and aside from growing up in Brooklyn in an area that kind of has a long history in mob type behaviour I could point it to the movie version of Oliver Twist,” Winter said at the Banff World Media Festival. He is also listed as a writer and executive producer of the show.

“I remember I was a kid

growing fascinated with pick-pocketing — that was the subplot — Fagin and his pick-pockets in that underground gang. A year later the Sting came out and it was all about con men and I became inter-ested in that.”

Winter, 51, also worked in a butcher shop that turned out to be owned by Paul Cas-tellano. who was then the head of the powerful Gam-bino crime family.

“I got to rub elbows with guys not unlike the people who were in the Sopranos and just saw how they thought and how they talked and how they operated. It was just a world I was familiar with and was comfortable writing about.”

Winter was an executive producer for The Sopranos

and wrote 25 episodes over the HBO series six-year run. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Word

Adrian Grenier is in the doghouseLess than 24 hours before he was scheduled to host Monday night’s Bideawee Gala in New York City, former Entourage star Adrian Grenier cancelled on the animal welfare charity. (While he declined to give an explanation to donors who paid up to $1,000 per ticket, suffice it to say we sincerely doubt it was a work commitment.)

Fortunately, Howard Stern’s wife, Beth, stepped in — and naturally, Stern had something to say about it during his Tuesday mor-ning broadcast.

“A lot of celebrities agree to do something for a char-ity, and at the last minute they cancel, leaving the charity stranded,” he said. “I do lose respect for people when they do this. They always have a great excuse. I don’t know. Send out a tweet and say ‘I’m so sorry.’”

Oh Adrian, we’re dying to know: How does it feel to be out-classed by Howard Stern?

In other celeb news: Oprah and 50 Cent have

publicly feuded about, well, everything in the past. (We don’t have the space here — just ask your grandmother what she doesn’t like about 50 Cent.)

So when the two sat down for a chat Sunday night on Oprah’s Next Chapter, there was plenty to catch up on. Oprah, for one, was curious as to why the rapper named his female dog after her.

“At the time, I was just looking at the situation, and I saw I was developing nega-tive feelings for someone who doesn’t even know me, and I gave it to the dog,” explained 50, who admits to pampering his beloved miniature schnauzer,

You know, there’s some-thing very zen about this. Next week, we’ll be intro-ducing the Metro therapy goldfish, Kim and Kanye.

romance ‘fizzled’

After three months of dat-ing, Zac Efron and Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins have called it quits, according to Us Weekly.

“They’re no longer together. They were never serious, though; it was just a casual thing and it fizzled,” a source says.

“They were never in the same place at the same time.” Another source says, “Zac was never very serious about her. He didn’t talk about her to friends,”

Is Lilo a liar?

Lindsay Lohan’s penchant for lying could land her in jail again.

After her accident last week — during which she totaled a rented Porsche — Lohan initially told police that she had been a passenger and her assistant had been driv-ing, despite her assistant telling them the opposite, according to TMZ. The po-lice are said to be writing up a report that includes Lohan’s fabrication, which is in itself a crime and could trigger a probation violation for the actress in her shoplifting case.

Stacy finally gets to hang at George’s Lake Como pad

George Clooney kicked off his summer vacation early by taking girlfriend Stacy Keibler to his luxurious estate on Lake Como, Italy, according to Hollyscoop.

Surprisingly, it’s the first time his girlfriend of 10 months has been to the

infamous vacation home. On the other hand,

Clooney has taken Keibler on trips to Mexico five times since they’ve been together.

The couple returned from a trip to Cabo San Lucas just last week.

5top golf spots in Mexico

4Punta Mita, Riviera NayaritGolfers visiting the plush Four Seasons or St. Regis resorts which have access to this golf club are in for a slice of tropical paradise with two impeccably conditioned seaside layouts to play. The stoic Sierra Madre mountains in the background and stunning ocean views will have most golfers reaching for their cameras as often as their rangefind-ers. The elder Pacifico course boasts a unique treat in No. 3B, “Tail of the Whale,” an op-tional par 3. The World’s first natural island green (pictured) is only reachable during low tide. Course Designer: Jack Nicklaus Green Fees: $210

5

2Palmilla, Los CabosOpened in 1992, the Golden Bear’s first Latin American Signature course is a 27-hole chal-lenge comprising of tres nines, each offering various terrain: the Arroyo, Mountain, and Ocean which provides spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez and there is a 600-foot ele-vation change that unfolds from No. 1 to 6. Five sets of tee boxes will satisfy everyone; from sharpshooters who want to play from the tips to max out the 7,000+ yardage and high handicappers just looking for a round of hits and giggles on their vacation. Green Fees: $190 Course Designer: Jack Nicklaus

1

While golf courses may not be quite as plentiful as poolside cabanas on the resort strewn coasts of Mexico, the gateway to Latin America boasts over 150 seductive spreads to pick from. Such a buff et of exceptional off erings makes it diffi cult for gringo golfers to settle on one.

We’ve narrowed the fi eld down to cinco options, where early morning tee times are as coveted as a 100 per cent blue agave tequila nightcap.

MIKE [email protected]

El Camaleón, Playa Del CarmenThe home course of Mexico’s lone PGA Tour Event may not change colours as its reptilian namesake implies, but this breathtaking 18-hole thrill ride is quite the changeling. Play a round here and tra-verse through tropical jungles, mangrove forests and oceanfront stretches that sidle up against the Caribbean Sea. You can see Cozumel in the distance on the 7th and 15th. Not satisfied with your final scorecard tally? Polish off the rust at the onsite Jim McClean Golf School. Course Designer: Greg Norman Green Fee: $180 Vistors/ $125 Fairmont Mayakoba Guests.

Loreto Baja, Baja California SurCast in the shadows of the looming Sierra de Giganta with holes that trace the Sea of Cortez, Loreto is a scenic dreamscape offering plenty of pinch-me golf moments during a round. Exer-cise caution on No. 2, a par 5 dogleg right with water all along the right and a peninsula green that slopes steeply toward the drink on three sides. A very precise approach shot is required to touch down safely on the dance floor and keep your ball dry. Green Fee: $70. An addi-tional $30 to rent a cart. Course Designer: Mario Schejtnan and Peter Güereca. Reconditioned by David Duval in 2008.

3Vista Vallarta, Puerto VallartaA tale of two very different topographies unfolds depending on which way you turn at the clubhouse on this sprawling 500-acre golf complex. The lower lying Weiskopf fairways are lined with thicker foliage and deep ravines. Stop a moment to inhale the sweet fragrance of the ruby-red bougainvilleas. Routed on higher ground the Nicklaus track offers enchanting views of Puerto Vallarta, the marina and Banderas Bay. A highlight is No. 3, a 550-yard par 5 which requires a string of formidable strokes to reach an elevated green (unseen from the fairway) in regulation. Green Fee: $199 at both.

Puerto Rico is exotic, but also has a familiar North American flavour. With re-sorts just a 10-minute drive from the airport, you could be stowing your carry-on in the morning and holding a cerveza or margarita in the sand by the early after-noon. The beautiful island, with colonial charm in the preserved cobblestones of Old San Juan, promises a convenient and zero-stress vacation.

The small island is also easily explored by car, meaning you can traverse the island in a day. Minutes away from landing at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, 16th-century citadels and beautiful, palm-tree bordered beaches welcome you.

Whether you stay close to San Juan or want to explore the rest of the island, here are a few spots to visit.

Budget friendly. Come here, and you’ll be kicking back just minutes after landing at the airport. Here’s where to start

Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. thinkstock.com

No-stress Puerto Rico

2 4For a colonial: Old San JuanAlong the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, get a delicious coffee and break-fast to start at Caficultura, a cafe nestled near a town plaza. Sit outside with your cafe con leche and take in the balcony-dotted streets. Then, meander your way through the city to one or more of the historical spots — an absolute must. The Castillo San Felipe del Morro, or El Morro, a fort-ress and fascinating win-dow into naval battles for power over the Caribbean waterways, offers breath-taking ocean views. Scope out the old cannons and duck through passageways where soldiers walked.

1For exploring the island: GuanicaTo get away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan — a city of nearly 400,000 — consider Guanica, a quaint

drive itself is even relaxing, with mountains

rising on both sides as you weave through the hills and rainforest. Once you’re in Guanica, don’t worry about rain ruining your beach days — it’s

in the Guanica Dry Forest Reserve. Instead, at Copa-marina Beach Resort and Spa’s 20 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds, listen to the waves, stop in for an aromatherapy massage or paddle board or kayak to nearby Gilligan’s Island.

Just a 10-minute drive from the airport, it’s an incredibly easy commute to relax. Chill pool-side or have dinner outside on the hotel’s patio, thanks to In-house chef Ricky Rivera.

Getting there: An easy tripPuerto Rico’s main airport is Luis Munoz Marin Inter-national Airport, offering many flights from the East Coast. Other options include Mercedita Inter-national Airport in Ponce — closer to Guanica if you’re considering Copamarina. In San Juan, the bus is 75 cents, and cabs are reason-able. Most hotels can also set you up with a rental car.

Sample the night life: La ConchaIf you want your vacation to stretch past afternoons on the beach, one step into La Concha Resort will reveal the hotel as a place to be seen. This hip hotel in the heart of San Juan’s Condado neigh-bourhood, decorated with retro furniture from lobby to room, hosts bar stools filled with well-dressed Puerto Ricans and tourists at night. The hotel’s variety of restau-rants include Perla, uniquely designed to seem anchored in water, and Solera, an open-air restaurant serving tapas steps away from beach chairs. During the day, lounge in front of the crashing waves. If it’s raining, curl up in your room — this hotel defines “ocean-view room.”

My favourite place in Canada is so hard to pinpoint because I am passionately in love with our entire Country; but, as I have to pick one, it has to be Alberta. I came with my family as a very young girl to this Prai-rie province from South Africa.

And, while we may have

had no money in our pockets, we had great hope for our fu-ture life here in Canada.

Alberta represents many firsts and deep-rooted mean-ingful memories to me. I have had four children in Alberta, raised them all there and been there for the birth of all of my

grandchildren. I started my business there,

and thankfully got my first business loan there. I was mar-ried there (and, yes, divorced there), trained for my first half marathon and built my very first home there. Alberta will always represent the wonders

of Canada to me and all the freedom and beauty this coun-try stands for.Arlene Dickinson is the ceo of Ven-ture communicAtions; A Venture cAp-itAlist on cBc’s AwArD winning series DrAgon’s Den; AnD co-host of the new cBc series the Big Decision. Visit ArleneDickinson.com

1. In a bowl, whisk peanut but-ter with soy sauce, lime juice and curry paste until blended.

2. Slice chicken lengthwise into 1/2-inch (1-cm) thick strips. Add chicken to peanut butter mix and stir to coat. Refrigerate chicken at least 2 hours before skewering.

3. Soak skewers in water. Oil grill and preheat to medium. Remove chicken from marin-ade and roll each strip into a spiral, inserting a small skewer through each spiral to hold like a lollipop. The end pieces will be smaller, so roll with another strip. Sprinkle with salt.

4. Place on grill and barbecue, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve on a platter, sprinkled with peanuts and coriander. News CaNada/ peaNutbureau.Com/

Inspired by a Julia Child’s re-cipe, Chef Elizabeth Karmel shares her version of what she called “French Chicken” while growing up.

It is a butterflied chicken that’s slathered with a mus-tard, white wine and scallion sauce that bakes during roast-ing, becoming a delectable crust and infusing the chicken with heady flavours of Dijon.

1. Heat grill and prepare for indirect cooking over medium heat.

2. Use paper towels to pat dry chickens. Using poultry shears, one at a time cut down the length of each chicken’s back-bone on both sides to remove it. Overturn chickens to be breast side up, break breast-bone by striking it sharply with a blunt object, such as can of beans.

3. Spread chickens open and lay them flat. Tuck wing tips under the upper wings, then brush all over with olive oil.

4. Season with salt and grains of paradise or black pepper. Place chickens in the centre of the grill skin side up. Cover the grill and cook for 20 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, assemble the

mustard sauce. In bowl, whisk white wine and mustard. Slow-ly drizzle 1/4 cup of olive oil and butter in mix to blend. Add thyme, cayenne and scallions, then mix to combine. Reserve 8 teaspoons of the mustard mixture for the tomatoes.

6. After chickens have cooked 20 minutes, turn over and spread mustard sauce on backs of chickens. Grill, covered, 10

minutes. Turn over to breast side up and spread mustard on the skin, then grill, covered, for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle the breast-sides of the chickens with bread crumbs and grill, covered, for another 10 to 15 more minutes, or until juices run clear and the thickest part of the thigh registers 180 F.

7. Remove chickens from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes

before carving. While chicken rests, spread each tomato half with some of the reserved mus-tard sauce, then sprinkle them with bread crumbs. Grill for 10 minutes, or until the tops are crunchy and the tomatoes are warmed through. Serve hot.

Using pineapple bark in the same way you would use a cedar plank to grill, infuses the meat with a delicate sweetness, and keeps it moist and juicy. The enzymes in the pineapple also help to tender-ize the meat.

1. Carefully cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. These can be discarded. Stand the pineapple upright. Cut the skin off the pineapple, remov-ing it in 6 long strips. To do this, begin cutting at the top of

the fruit and slice downward, letting the knife follow the curve of the fruit. Leave about 1/2 inch of flesh on each strip of skin. Rotate the fruit and re-peat. Set aside.

2. Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Season each on both sides with salt, pepper, cumin and cay-enne. Lay each piece of chicken over the cut side of one of the slices of pineapple skin. Set a second strip of pineapple skin, cut side down, on top. Use kitchen twine to tie the bun-dles to hold them together. Re-frigerate the chicken bundles for about 30 minutes.

3. When ready to cook, heat one side of the grill to high, the other side to low.

4. Meanwhile, cut the skinned pineapple (the flesh) into thick circles. Use a small round cook-ie or biscuit cutter (or a paring knife) to cut out and discard the core from each round.

5. When grill is hot, arrange chicken bundles on the cooler side of the grill. Cook for 15 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches 165 F at the centre. During the final 10 min-utes, add the pineapple rings

and cook for 5 minutes per side.

6. Guacamole: In bowl com-bine red onion, jalapeno, avo-cados, lime juice and cilantro. Gently mix then season with salt and pepper.

7. To serve, place one chicken bundle on each plate. Set a grilled pineapple ring next to it, then spoon some of the gua-camole into the centre of and over the pineapple ring.the assoCiated press

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time to stash a dead fish somewhere to stink up the school hallways. Time to drop tennis balls on the heads of people in the lobby. Time to cover your soon-to-be alma mater with Post-It notes.

For high school seniors, it’s prank time — or “structured mayhem” in the words of Mindy Utay, a therapist who works with teens.

It’s a rite of passage as gradu-ation looms, mostly harmless fun but sometimes escalating into vandalism.

This spring alone, windows at school have been smashed, walls and sidewalks spray painted, and paint poured down steps. Cars have been flipped. Property has been dam-aged from California to Ken-tucky to Maryland.

As a result, school adminis-trators are rethinking exactly what constitutes a prank and where to draw the line — and finding that’s not always easy to do.

This year, the rule at Ken-owa Hills High School in Walk-er, Mich., was clear: No senior pranks allowed.

But organizing themselves on Facebook, a group of gradu-ating seniors there decided to ride bicycles, en masse, on the last day of school. They arranged for a police escort along the three-mile route. The mayor even brought them doughnuts before they headed out to what was supposed to be

a funny surprise for everyone else at school.

The principal was not amused.

She thought the students had put themselves in dan-ger by riding along a busy thoroughfare. Traffic was dis-rupted. Drivers caught up in it, including some teachers, were late for work. In the principal’s mind, the seniors had broken the “no pranks” rule, and she came down hard.

“But we didn’t really see it as a prank. We saw it more as a

senior send-off,” says Sarah Pe-chumer, one of the 65 graduat-ing students who participated. “It was harmless. It was ar-ranged. It was legal.”

And in the rowdy history of senior pranks, it was relatively benign.

“As long as it doesn’t get out of control, I think it is healthy,” says Utay, a therapist and clin-ical social worker in private practice in Manhattan.

“It’s something they look forward to after all the pres-sure — a chance to take back

some of the control. It’s rebel-lion against that pressure, em-powerment. It marks the end of the high school experience.”

Utay says, at her own chil-dren’s school, pranks are con-sidered a tradition — even a show of school spirit.

Generally, it’s been silly things, she says — dropping the tennis balls or hiding the dead fish. Or, say, putting four pygmy goats on an overhang above a school entrance, as authorities at Simsbury High School in Connecticut discov-

Prank policies. From Post-It notes to animal activity, end-of-school shananigans don’t always sit well with staff

School silliness or bad behaviour?

The 65 graduating students who participated thought they were having harmless fun but in the principal’s mind they had broken the “no pranks” rule. The Grand rapids press, Chris Clark/ The assoCiaTed press

ered last Wednesday.“Like a lot of the practical

joking and horseplay that goes on between adolescents and young adults, pranks are by and large fairly harmless, if nothing gets bruised except dignity,” says Sherry Hamby, a psychol-ogy professor at Sewanee, The University of the South, in Ten-nessee.

Pranks often continue into college life, as they have for Brigham Young University jun-ior Nate Stebbing and some of his buddies.

This spring, Stebbing and his crew turned neighbours’ apartment living room into a giant Easter basket, complete with real sod and live bunnies and chicks.

The video they made has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube.

The key to a successful prank, Stebbing says, is to never be mean-spirited or destructive. (The sod is now adorning some-one’s lawn and the animals found a good home.)

“We made sure that the people we were pranking were not people who’d take it the wrong way,” he says. “Now we’re super-tight friends with them — and it’s an awesome memory.” The associaTed press

Help me overcome the first-job jitters

First, congratulations on get ting that job! It’s a big deal to start your first “real” job. Unfortunately, it sounds like excitement is being overshadowed by nerves.

What is it that you are nervous about? The more clear you are on just what it is that is causing your nerves, the better you’ll be able to address it.

Some common concerns when starting a new job in-clude feeling overwhelmed by the idea of walking into a brand new environment and not knowing what to expect, feeling shy about meeting all kinds of people (perhaps including suit-wearing and/or other ‘im-portant’ people), and some-times worrying that maybe you won’t be good enough at the job.

Regardless of what it is specifically causing your wor ries, here are a few things you can do to make

starting your first day easi-er.

Rest and food

Seems a bit overly simple, but sometimes the simple things are very important. Getting a good sleep the

night before your first day and feeding yourself more than caffeine that morning can help your physical self keep your emotional self feeling stronger and more relaxed.

Remember they hired you for a reasonHiring decisions are rarely taken lightly. If you’ve been offered this job, the organ-ization/company must feel convinced that you are up for it (even if you yourself may be worried). If you are

nervous about whether you can do this, remind yourself that you probably would not have been hired if you didn’t display the skills and qualities that are needed.

Assess your expectations for yourselfYes, the first day is import-ant, but too much emphasis can be placed on first im-pressions. Your first day is usually a day of easing you into your new role. Usually, there will be introductions, orientations, tours and some explanation of your job. You don’t have to go sprinting out of the starting gate and impress everyone in your first eight hours there. You can spend the day with a smile on your face and listening, learn-ing, and trying to remem-ber everyone’s name (a note pad might help!).

Best wishes as you start your new job!

Newly hired nerves. A few tips to conquer that queasy feeling as you start out on your career path

Ask questions

Loud and proud

• If you get worried, or nervous, or confused, do ask questions. You are new and you are not expected to know every-thing.

• Worrying about that first day may be a bit nerve-wracking, but if you try to relax and take the pressure off yourself, you can focus on learning and enjoying.

Remember that this job is yours! So breathe in, exhale, and enjoy the opportunity. istock

Fire alarm: Where to go if you’ve been let go

Donald Trump made the phrase famous but it’s a sentence you never want to hear in real life: “You’re fired.” Unfortunately, sometimes, just like on The Ap-prentice, it can happen to the people you least expect.

I spent the summer after my first year of university working at a shoe store in my hometown. When I got the job, I had booked off time in July so I could visit my relatives south of the border. After my family bonanza, I came home to mes-sages asking me to come in to the store for a shift the previ-ous week.

I called the store to clarify that I hadn’t come in because I had been out of the country, as indicated on the staff schedule. Despite my reasoning, the new store manager, who had taken over while I was away, pulled an Arnold Schwarzenegger and “terminated” me.

In my state of shock, I hung

up and accepted that I had just lost my job, but according to employment experts, that was not the way to go.

The biggest mistake that students make when they’ve been fired is, “not knowing their rights and not knowing if they were justifiably (and justly) fired” says Aino Lokk, an employment counsellor at Ryerson University.

When you get a job

Don’t wait until you get that phone call to start learning your rights. When you get hired, make sure you know what can get you fired. Lokk says right from the get-go, stu-dents need to be familiar with their legal, work-related rights. Don’t just scan those contracts and forms, take the time to read them over, ask questions and make sure you understand the company policy and proced-ures such as code of conduct or

confidentiality of information.

Warning signsGetting fired is never going to be pleasant, but Lokk says if the employer has followed due diligence throughout the firing process, then it shouldn’t come as a big surprise. “If the employee is in clear violation of organizational policy or proced-ures, or has been given the ap-propriate warnings regarding behaviours/activities that need to change and they have not changed, then the next likely step is that they could be fired.”

Should the job still go on your resumé?In short, yes. If you gained skills and experience that are rel-evant to your future job hunt,

then it still deserves a spot on your resume. If interviewers ask why you left the position, be honest.

If the firing was unjust, you should “briefly describe the situation without ascribing any blame, allowing the em-ployer to draw the appropriate

conclusion,” says Lokk. If you genuinely deserved to be fired, then focus on the lesson learn-ed from the experience. For instance, if your contract out-lined that you are not allowed to speak to reporters about the company but you shared information damaging the company, he says the student could reflect on the fact that they now know to always defer media requests to the author-ized person within the firm.

Ultimately, when the ques-tion comes up, try not to dwell on it, explain what happened and move on.

IshanI nath Is an aspIrIng wrIter who Is learnIng the complexItIes of the craft In ryerson UnIversIty’s master’s of JoUrnalIsm program.

It’s over. But it’s not the end. Bounce back from termination with confidence and wisdom.

If you’ve suddenly been singled out and fired, it may be worth it to research whether your termination was not, in fact, justified. istock

But I thought....

“Despite my reason-ing, the new store manager, who had taken over while I was away, pulled an Arnold schwarzenegger and “terminated” me.”Ishani Nath, on being let go from a job

Before the boot: Overcome communication breakdown

• Evaluate your employer: De-termine what they need and what you in particular can provide. Don’t assume that someone will figure out your contribution for you.

• Set out clear deadlines for responses from on high: When you’ve fulfilled the original requirements of your position, such as reach-

ing the end of the original contract of completion of a project, know that you may have to be the one to ask for feedback from your employer.

• Find a mentor: Having someone to evaluate your performance and foster your interests – even if that person is not your direct

superior – will help develop the kind of ‘continuous learning’ that will make you a valuable employee.

Workplace Law

You think you know, but you have no idea

Most employees cling to beliefs about workplace rights they gleaned from media, friends or research-ing online. But many of these “perceived” rights often do not exist. Here are some of my favourite misconceptions:

Discrimination means unequal treatmentIt is not discrimination if you are simply treated unfairly or differently. Discrimination laws only protect differential treat-ment based on a defined set of personal charac-teristics, such as age, race, gender or disability. Employees can be treated differently based on any other grounds, without any form of legal protection.

Similarly, there is no

legal requirement that promotions or bonuses be assessed fairly. An employer may decide, often arbitrarily, who it wishes to promote and how it will compensate its employees. It is entitled to show favouritism, as long as its decision is not based on personal characteristics, such as race, religion or gender.

An employee is entitled to overtime pay for any addi-tional hours worked.Unless an employment contract states otherwise, overtime pay is only required for hours worked in excess of the statutory standards, which vary among provinces. Many employees do not realize that they can be required to work for longer than nine to five, without

an entitlement to overtime pay.

There is a right to sick leaveThere is no statutory or legal requirement to provide employees with paid time off from work due to an illness. Although many employers have policies that do provide a few days’ sick leave each year, it is not because they are compelled to do so. Without such a policy, if an employee is off work and sick, she need not be paid for that time.

If I work through lunch, I can leave work early This is one of my fa-vourite misconceptions. Employees often believe they can make up lost time or “trade” a break or lunch for an early departure. However, most provincial employment standards laws require that a 30-minute lunch be taken, at least, every five hours. Therefore, even if an employer were to agree to such a “trade” (and few would do so), it would still be illegal. Daniel a. lublin is an employ-ment lawyer with whitten & lublin.

The Kings celebrate after their 6-1 win over the Devils in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup fi nal in Los Angeles on Monday night. NOEL VASQUEZ/GETTY IMAGES

Plans for a sequel underway in L.A.The Stanley Cup barely had the Los Angeles Kings’ fingerprints on it before Darryl Sutter sug-gested they should start pre-paring to win it again.

“The first thing you think about as a coach, these guys are all young enough, they’ve got to try it again,” the coach said Monday night, mere mo-ments after raising the cup for the first time himself.

That’s just how a pragmatic farmer from Alberta thinks about everything, and Sutter didn’t allow his mental prep-arations for a sequel stop him from celebrating this irreplace-

able moment with his players.The Kings partied until well

after midnight at a restaurant overlooking the Staples Cen-ter ice, where Los Angeles completed its 16-4 rampage through the post-season to the franchise’s first NHL title.

After nearly 45 years with-out a cup, after 4 1/2 decades with one division title and one conference crown to show for their existence, and after eight straight years from 2002-10 without making the playoffs,

Los Angeles and its Kings had earned every minute of it.

Music boomed and drinks flowed for a few hundred friends, family members and Kings employees hanging with the players. Everybody seem-ingly got a chance to raise the cup. The Conn Smythe Trophy also attended, and plenty of people borrowed Jonathan Quick’s hardware long enough to chant “M-V-P!” for them-selves.

The Kings weren’t think-ing much about how they be-came the first eighth seed to win a title, or how they won 10 straight road games this spring, or how they made the second-fastest run in modern NHL history to the Stanley Cup.

They already knew.“It’s got to come from the

room, and guys have to make a decision to work,” said Quick, the record-setting goalie who carried the Kings through long stretches of the regular season. “I think we did that. You can’t say enough about this group and how hard they worked.”THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Poland and Russia play to drawAlan Dzagoev scored his third goal of the European Cham-pionship and Jakub Blaszczy-kowski equalized in the second half as Russia and Poland drew 1-1 Tuesday.

The match was marred be-fore kickoff by fighting between hooligans from both countries, leaving several people injured as thousands of Russian fans marched to celebrate the Rus-sia Day national holiday.

Dzagoev darted past de-fender Lukasz Piszczek in the 37th minute and sent a glan-cing header beyond goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton after a curl-ing free kick from Andrei Ar-

shavin.But Poland was rewarded

for its attacking intent in the 57th when Blaszczykowski cut in from the right and sent a searing left-foot drive into the far corner of the goal.

“I think we deserve praise because all of us put a lot into this match,” Blaszczykowski said. “The tactics we set up be-fore the match we carried out 100 per cent.”

The result left Russia at the top of Group A with four points but also kept alive Poland’s chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By the numbers

81The Kings never faced elimination in the play-off s, but it was a distinct possibility during the regular season. L.A. didn’t clinch a playoff spot until right before their 81st game.

Czechs back on track

The Czech Republic revived its European Championship hopes with two goals in the fi rst six minutes as it sealed a 2-1 victory over Greece on Tuesday.

Petr Jiracek opened the scoring in the third minute, and three minutes later, Va-clav Pilar scored his second goal of the tournament.

into a two-month break between World Cup

qualifying games. Instead, the Canadians played

Honduras to a 0-0 draw Tuesday, settling for four points from their fi rst two matches in the third round

of CONCACAF qualifying as they continue their quest for the country’s

fi rst World Cup berth since 1986. The result was a

frustrating one for Canada, which was coming off a 1-0 victory over Cuba

on Friday in Havana and maintained most of the possession on the night in front of 16,132 fans at BMO Field in Toronto.

Golf

“I think even if I do win a major cham-

pionship, it will still be, ‘You’re not to 18 yet’ or ‘When will you get to 19?’ It’s always something

with you guys.”Tiger Woods in San Francisco on

Tuesday, responding to ques-tions of whether he has to win

a major to end doubts about his health and overall golf game

ahead of this week’s U.S Open.

Floyd Mayweather’s lawyers say the boxer’s

career is at risk and they have fi led a motion with a Las Vegas judge,

asking her to ease jail conditions for the undefeated champion

who is serving time for domestic battery and harassment. Scan the

NBA fi nals

Durant, Thunder roll to 1-0 series lead over HeatKevin Durant scored 17 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter, Russell Westbrook added 27 points and 11 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 13-point deficit to beat the Miami Heat 105-94 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the NBA finals.

LeBron James, still chasing his first NBA title in his third MVP season, shined through three quarters and blew past Durant head-to-head several times before the Thunder switched their defence.

James ended up with 30 points — the most he’s ever had in three trips to the finals — but it wasn’t enough with Durant taking over late.

Durant made six of 10 shots in the fourth quarter to power the Thunder ahead after they had trailed until their final possession of the third quarter.

Scion’s franchise player

ALL PHOTOS WHEELBASE

Look, everyone ... twins.For Subaru, the BRZ be-

comes the exception to its all-wheel-drive, all-the-time rule. For Toyota’s Scion division, the identical FR-S is the flagship model that the brand has need-ed from the start.

It’s unusual for two com-peting automakers (although Toyota does own a small piece of Subaru) to launch closely similar products, but not entire-ly unheard of. But in the case of

specialty vehicles — 2+2 sport coupes, for example — that sell in limited quantities, it’s a bit surprising, but ultimately great for buyers who could initiate a dealership dogfight in their at-tempts to score the best deal.

Scion, with its more pro-lific dealer network, should easily move its fair share of FR-S metal. FR-S stands for front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport. And what impressive metal it is. The coupe’s long-hood,

short-deck proportions are right on the money and the low hood, muscular fenders and curvy roofline give it a poised, gimmick-free appearance.

The FR-S represents the kind of breakout styling that the rest of the Toyota fleet should emulate.

The interior design also car-ries the Toyota stamp of approv-al, with big round dials flanked by even bigger round air vents. As with any sport model worth

its muscle, the tachometer (also big and round) sits dead centre in the driver’s line of vision, with a smaller speedometer to the left and fuel/temperature gauges to the right.

With a road-ready starting price of $27,500, the Scion-Sub-aru FR-S offspring is all about inexpensive fun. Remember what that was like?

No? It’s about time, then, that

Toyota and Subaru got together.

Review. A marriage produces a car that neither Toyota nor Subaru would likely have had on their own

Premium fuel

This Scion is slim and trim — which saves fuel — with a rating of 8.3 l/100 km city and 5.8 highway for the auto-matic (9.6/6.6 for manual-gearbox versions).

But those numbers are offset by the engine’s requirement for more expensive premium fuel.

Engine

As with Subaru’s BRZ, the FR-S employs a 200-horse-power (and 151 pound-feet of torque) 2.0-litre “flat” four-cylinder engine (one bank of two pistons fires at 180 degrees to the opposite two pistons). The basic design is all-Subaru, while Toyota contributes a unique intake system.

Nice rims

As is the Scion way, the FR-S is shipped from its Japanese homeland with the expected load of stan-dard gear plus aluminum sport pedals, a 300-watt Pioneer-brand sound sys-tem and Michelin Primacy rubber fitted to a neat set of 17-inch alloy wheels.

Hitting 100 km/h from rest takes a bit more than six seconds.

What’s your ratchet?

If you work on cars, either as a hobby or to pay the bills, you’ll appreciate a set of

Zyklop ratchets from Wera. Their unique rotating-mass design allows you to easily spin the socket up to three times more quickly (accord-

ing to the manufacturer) than a standard ratchet.

Although tackling bolts is the Zyklop’s primary function, it can also be used as a revers-ible screwdriver when fi tted

with one of a number of diff erent bits. Its swivelling-

ratchet design allows it to function at a variety of angles, which is especially handy in cramped areas.

Wera makes Zyklop ratchet sets from 18-43 pieces with prices beginning in the US $80 range for the basic set through amazon.com. The 43-piece set costs about US $240. For more info you can also check out the manufac-

turer’s website at www-us.wera.de.

The Nissan Leaf powers a home in this demonstration. NissaN CaNada

The power’s out? Plug your house into your electric car

Few things are more annoying than the power going out. But in the future, your lights could come back on, thanks to the car in your driveway.

Nissan recently demon-strated its Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) system, which uses the

battery in the all-electric Leaf hatchback to provide power during outages, as well as off-set expensive peak-hour elec-tricity or even sell some back to the grid.

V2H is still in its infancy here, and faces considerable research and test projects be-fore it could be available to consumers, but a version will go on sale in Japan later this month.

“As the grid grows and gets smarter, and as infrastructure comes on line, the consumer’s going to look for alternatives and flexibility,” says Allen Childs, president of Nissan Canada.

“This adds value in that it’s a supply source to the home

when the normal supply is in-terrupted.”

V2H requires a special Power Control System, or PCS, provided by Nissan and wired into the house’s elec-trical panel. When the Leaf is plugged in, the PCS charges the

car’s battery from the house current, just as happens now with the conventional house charger sold with the Leaf.

When the house needs power, though, the PCS revers-es the direction, and electricity flows from the Leaf’s battery

into the house system. Nissan says that a fully charged Leaf could run a typical house for a day.

Many Leaf owners charge their vehicles at night, when electricity is cheaper. Poten-tially, some of the car’s stored power could be “mixed in” with electricity from the utility company during peak periods when power is expensive, re-ducing the overall cost. Nis-san also envisions a “smart grid” communicating with cars during periods of heavy use, “asking” them to sell their inexpensive stored electricity back to the utility company at peak-rate prices. So how do you drive your electric car, if you’ve used or sold its stored

charge? This is where driver, car, and grid will have to work together. The driver programs in what she’ll need — say, 60 kilometres for the day’s com-mute. The car could use or sell its excess power, but stop before cutting into that 60-km range of battery power.

It takes about seven hours to fully charge the Leaf with its household charger, but a quick-charge DC system can provide up to 80 per cent cap-acity in 30 minutes. If these ex-pensive DC units drop in price and become more widespread, drivers could also use or sell the battery’s power at peak rates, and later plug in half an hour before the car is needed again.

Charging. Unique Vehicle-to-Home system already set to go on sale in Japan this month

Batteries

• Electricity is used as soon as it’s made, and large-scale storage is prohibi-tively expensive and impractical. Smaller-scale storage, such as electric car batteries, is one pos-sible solution to heavy demand at certain times

of the day.

• Electricvehiclebatter-ies that are too depleted to run a car still have considerable capacity, and research is underway to possibly use them for stationary power storage.

First a vigorous massage, then a heated scarf is placed at my neck. Soothing music is piped in. I am cradled in a luxuri-ous nut brown-coloured seat made of the finest leather. My eyes are being treated to scenes of majestic cliffs and red-sand bluffs dropping into a shimmering sea.

Am I zoning out in a spa? Nope. The rev of the 4.6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 brings me back, with literally a snap, to reality. All this pam-pering is happening at the same time that I squeeze the throttle and screech the rear tires to 100 km/h from zero in just over four-and-a-half seconds. I love mixing busi-ness with pleasure.

In 20 second,s the standard panoramic see-through-metal roof drops back. It’s a “top-less” windy and cool day here in Nova Scotia. The East Coast province is tiny and even though it’s one of the more southerly destinations in The Great White North with a latitude equivalent to that of Minneapolis, Minn., and Boise, Idaho, spring can whip up sudden showers and tem-peratures that dramatically fluctuate throughout the day.

Even with the roof down, it’s warm and cozy in here in this bit of $123,900 heav-en. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is a roadster that indul-ges the occupants with top-of-the-line comfort, including warm air piped in and around your neck.

Perpetually seething just below the surface, though, is

something a little racier. Truly “Sport Leicht” as the SL desig-nation states. Mercedes-Benz’s first all-aluminum body is leicht, alright, 120 kilograms lighter than the previous SL550. But it’s a heavyweight in the two-seat roadster class at 429 horsepower. It’s de-licious to paddle-shift the seven responsive gears of the enhanced 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission.

Rutted and pothole-in-fested roads of Nova Scotia, beware. The SL550 is on the loose. The Glooscap Trail hugs the northern edge of an area called the Minas Basin. This basin joins the Bay of Fundy, that world-renowned body of water that, every six hours, funnels about 13 square kilo-metres of water through the Minas Channel. It’s a huge vol-ume, indeed. More than the daily outflow of all the world’s rivers combined, moving at 15 km/h and raising and lower-ing the tide by 20 metres. These are the highest tides in

the world.The high bluff shoreline

and the curvy strip of black-top along those bluffs were created by that wild tidal ac-tivity. It’s one twisty, turny drive that has the SL550’s ears laid back and the tires biting hard on the road.

The dazzling views, wheth-er the Bay is full and frothy or completely empty, revealing glistening mudflats, would awe any passenger and com-pensate for whatever anxiety the over-zealous driver may be causing.

Up ahead there’s Port Gre-ville, where some 400 ships were built and launched. A photo op at Spencer’s Island, with its lonely driftwood-strewn beach? Not really. The wiry road through these hid-den gems is adamant that I keep the SL550 moving.

In Advocate Harbour, where boats rest on their hulls on the ocean floor await-ing the tide to come in and raise them 10 metres to wharf

height, the Wild Carraway Café’s menu features Rhubarb Strawberry Eton Mess ... what-ever that is. I opt for a coffee. I don’t want to feel weighed down, or Sport Leicht, if you please.

Around the point of re-mote Cape Chignecto is a de-serted two-lane winding road through the woods. Time to play with the SL550’s two driving modes: ABC (Active Body Control) Sport and ABC Comfort. The side bolsters of the seat intuitively curve into

my body as the vehicle turns, keeping me right in front the wheel. I’m able to steer instead of using the wheel to hang on.

Hitting the open freeway, I can finally appreciate the music that’s rockin’ the cab-in. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL550 introduces FrontBass, where the stereo system’s subwoofers are integrated into the front footwells in-stead of in the doors. The bass is tight and focused and not muddy and muffled. There are 12 speakers in here and 600 watts worth of amplifiers.

Fox Harb’r Resort in the town of Wallace is the over-night destination. The lush 18-hole championship golf course, one of the top 75 courses in North America, and the distracting, spectacular wide-open ocean vistas have challenged the likes of Bill Clinton, Bobby Orr, Charles Barkley and Tiger Woods.

Sadly it’s time to dismount the SL550. A wave of the foot

at the back of the car is all it takes to open the trunk to get the bags out. Magic!

Honestly, I feel a twinge of guilt for the fuel I’ve burned today, but the 4.6-litre engine, despite having more power, also burns about 20 per cent less fuel than the previous SL. The turbochargers add power only when you want to play, while direct injection can cre-ate ultra-lean cruise/deceler-ate fuel mixtures. And when you’re stopped at a light or in a parking lot, or wherever, “ECO” start/stop tech means the SL is not using gas when it’s not moving.

Walking away, I turn back and gaze at the SL550’s sinewy lines, sexy shoulders and those trapezoidal exhaust pipes. I could console myself with a spa treatment at The Spa at Fox Harb’r but I’d rath-er ensconce myself in the spa-like cockpit of the SL550.

Fortunately, this trip is two days, so I can do exactly that, all over again, tomorrow.

Auto Know. No need to leave the car for a good pampering, eh.

An automotive spa fix

For a base price of $123,900, you get a power folding top with a metal panel that you can actually see through. There’s a sunshade to cut the light, but that wasn’t needed much on this day in Nova Scotia. The beauty of the SL550 is that it can be an all-weather coupe as much as it can be a sunny-day ride. all photos wheelbase media

A safe sports car bet, but watch for upgrades

Common Issues

Be sure there’s plenty of pad left on the brakes, and that they aren’t squealing — which could indicate the need for a brake job. Check tire tread depth and condi-tion, noting any abnormal wear across the tread width that could indicate align-ment issues.

Note any owner-added upgrades, avoiding models modified with anything more serious than an intake and exhaust system. Improperly installed, modified parts can adversely affect the longevity of your used RSX and its vari-ous systems.

Verdict

Ultimately, shoppers finding a good deal on a used RSX that fits their budget and priorities will likely join a community of largely satis-fied owners.

When introduced, the two-door Acura RSX coupe rode an all-new platform shared by the latest Honda Civic. Standard equipment included standard 15-inch wheels, front and side air-bags, air conditioning and a CD player. Leather seating, cruise control, a sunroof and a 6-CD changer were present in the RSX’s hardware list as well, depending on the model in question.

Compact, energetic and poised, the RSX quickly be-came popular with perform-ance-minded buyers after a premium machine.

Second Gear. 2002 to 2006 Acura RSX

Justin [email protected]

What Owners Dislike

Common complaints in-clude poor ride quality

on account of the stiff, sport-tuned suspension, and limited rear-seat space.

What Owners Like

Owners of the RSX tended to rate its styling and driving dynamics the most

highly, with comfort and perform-ance falling slightly behind. Most report satisfaction with the RSX’s mileage, handling, responsiveness and reliability.

Engine

All RSX models got a two-litre, four-cylinder engine. Standard

models developed 160 horse-power, while the sportier Type S model made around 200, depending on the year in question.

Snacking made easy

If you’re one of those types who lives in your car, or you frequently travel long distan-ces, the Smart Snacker might be for you. This plastic food-containment unit fits inside your vehicle’s cup holder and is designed to secure both a beverage plus whatever else you’re having with it, which makes it ideal when picking up drive-thru grub. The Smart snacker comes with a lid for the snack area that allows you to keep food from spill-ing while you drive. Select from black, grey, tan or white. The retail is $15 US, but you’ll likely need an extra one for your front-seat companion. Place your order at mysmart snacker.com. Wheelbase

Recycle with style

Recycling old, worn-out autos is just plain smart. But artist/fashion accessory designer Pyper Hugos has taken it to a whole new level with her line of Mojo Reclaimed Jewelry that she creates from bits of parts and scraps found in junkyards. Most of her hand-crafted rings, bracelets and necklaces contain the colors imbedded in the metal that add to their patina. And each piece comes with its own name and history (the “Della” bracelet, pictured, was ori-ginally a part of a 1960s-era Rambler). Prices vary from $65 US for a set of earrings, up to $150 for a cuff-style bracelet. Visit Hugos’ on line store at yougotmojo.bigcartel.com.

LOADED

ONLY


The Trans-Canada Highway, which turns 50-years old this year, is almost too Canadian. Like someone was working with a checklist, trying to jam as many Canadian-isms into one entity as possible.

Like, is it big? It’s gotta be big, right? Well, how about, one of the world’s longest national roads? This shouldn’t be too surprising. One thing this coun-try is not short on is width.

When it was completed in 1962, it encompassed 4,860 miles (7,776 km). Over the years, several more routes were added, so its even longer today (8,000 plus).

Did we have enough feder-al-provincial bickering?Absolutely.

“From the very beginning, the feds and the provinces were bickering about who

would pay, how much they would pay, where the route would go. This all made it a very typical Canada project,” says Daniel Francis, author of the beautiful book, Road for Canada, The Illustrated Story of the Trans-Canada High-way.

Enough battling with beautiful and cruel nature?Besides the political hurdles, there were obviously also very, real natural ones. Like really big, mountains. Several

of the major mountain roads in B.C., like the Big Bend Highway that links Golden with Revelstoke, were com-pleted as “make work” pro-jects during the 1930s.

But the last gap to be closed was a mosquito-infested stretch around Lake Superior, which actually became known as “The Gap.” A paved road through there was not competed until 1960.

When I asked Francis about his favourite scenic stretches, he mentioned several — all

those B.C. mountain passes, the Saint John River Valley in New Brunswick, the road north of Superior — before he meta-phorically threw his hands up.

“Well, you could go on about the landscape in Canada forever ... the road lets you see it.”

Celebrated in typical muted Canadian way? While construction continued until 1971, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker officially opened the Trans-Canada on

Sept. 3, 1962, in a screwed up ceremony on the Rogers Pass, in B.C.. The sound system didn’t work. The musicians were late. Speeches went on and on and on. And while we’ve come to love our big highway, Francis notes it pales in myth-making capacity when compared to the first railway to cross the country.

“Unlike the railway, which was built very quickly, in a very specific period of time, the highway build spread out over many years. It was also a pro-

ject that was made up of other roads, which already existed.”

Also hurting its status as a topic for folk singers, is that it has evolved over the years to become more a system of get-ting across the country, than one magical, all-encompassing East-West route. But there is lots of magic in that road (or system). Every Canadian dreams of hitting the highway and seeing the country at some point in their lives, and every Canadian can immediately pic-ture Terry Fox and Rick Hansen on that highway, and when one does that, it’s not hard to feel pride in being a Canadian.

Notes Francis: “It does seem that when we have an import-ant statement to make, or some drama to enact, the highway tends to be the place where we do it.”

Trans-Canada Highway turns 50

One of the more recent and dramatic stretches to be added to the network known as the Trans Canada Highway 1, is the 13-km Confederation Bridge, completed in 1997, connecting P.E.I. to New Brunswick (and vice versa!). photos contributed

Automakers gear up for fuel economy

A transmission certainly seems simple enough when you’re in your vehicle: put the shift lever in Drive and away you go. But that lever is attached to an extremely complex component that can affect how your car per-forms and what fuel econ-omy it can achieve.

“You have an engine that’s exerting power, and you have to put that power to the ground through the wheels,” says Hayato Mori, manager of product planning for Honda Canada. “You have to put gearing in between to effi-ciently transmit the power from the engine to where you want it to go.”

Just like on a multi-speed bicycle, the various gears in

the transmission are differ-ent sizes. By selecting the appropriate gear — either by the transmission itself on an automatic, or by the driver with a stick shift — max-imum power is directed to the wheels while using as lit-tle engine power as possible. Sometimes the engine will have to work harder, such as when you’re taking off from a stop, but at higher speeds the

Driving Force. You switch gears in your ride all the time, but did you ever wonder how it all works?

transmission will allow the vehicle to cruise along while using relatively little power, which helps save fuel.

Transmissions usually con-tain anywhere from four to six forward gears (along with neutral and reverse), and some automakers even offer seven or eight.

“By putting more gears in between, you change the ratio, so it needs less engine power,” Mori says. “Let’s say you’re going up one floor, and the stairway has five steps. You go up another that has six steps. Going up five steps requires more work than six steps, because the six steps are smaller. That’s the same kind of thing you have on a transmission.”

Even so, there is still much that engineers can do with fewer gears.

“Even with a five-speed, you can change the ratio,” Mori says. “On a flight of stairs, you can vary the height or length of the steps so it’s

not as energy-exerting. It all hinges on how well the tech-nology works. We have five-speed transmissions that can achieve the same or better than some competitors with six-speed transmissions.”

Adding more gears also adds complexity and weight, Mori adds, and automakers must carefully balance the engine and transmission technologies to achieve max-imum fuel economy.

Horoscope

Aries | March 21 - April 20. Today’s Sun-Saturn link promises that if you make a serious effort you will enjoy serious results — the kind that could make you a star.

Taurus | April 21 - May 21. The planets will bring several op-portunities your way over the next 24 hours but there is one goal you should be focusing on to the exclu-sion of everything else.

Gemini | May 22 - June 20. The more you are on the move today, the less time you will have to spend worrying about little things.

Cancer | June 21 - July 22. You sense that an important change is coming and you are worried it might be a change for the worse. You won’t escape this feeling until the Sun enters your sign on the 20th.

Leo | July 23 - Aug. 22. You will realize today that you were wrong to be suspicious about someone’s mo-tives. Apologize if you’ve been harsh. It’s not too late, but be fast.

Virgo | Aug. 23 - Sept. 22. You enjoy routine but the planets warn there is a danger you could settle into a routine that is too com-fortable and too predictable.

Libra | Sept. 23 - Oct. 22. Things have been going so well for you that you are afraid there is some sort of catch. Don’t worry, there isn’t. Today’s Sun-Saturn link will confirm how truly fortunate you are.

Scorpio | Oct. 23 - Nov. 21. Money matters will go well today but they will go even better if you follow your instincts rather than what the “experts” suggest.

Sagittarius | Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. Forget what others say you have to do and focus on your own desires. That is not only the recipe for having fun but also the recipe for success.

Capricorn | Dec. 22 - Jan 20. Someone in a position of authority will be impressed by your willingness to stick to a task that others too eas-ily gave up on.

Aquarius | Jan. 21 - Feb 18. You won’t lack for confidence today, and you never lack for courage, but hopefully you will balance that with a large dose of common sense.

Pisces | Feb. 19 - March 20. Financial matters are under favour-able stars today and if you use your brain you will come out ahead of the game. SAlly brOMptON
