Stelmach was later asked by reportersif he had given any direction to the boardresponsible for hiring and firing Duckett.
He responded that Duckett’s fate restswith the board, but added that his use ofthe word “offensive” sends “a prettystrong message.”

Canada’s public worksminister says high securitycosts at two major eventsin the country this yearwere behind a federal deci-sion not to put money to-ward Edmonton’s bid tohost the 2017 world’s fair.
“(With) the lessonswe’ve learned from theG8/G20 (summits) and the(Vancouver) Olympics, wemade the decision that thiswas not something wewanted to move forwardon,” Rona Ambrose, who isalso the MP for Edmonton-Sprice Grove, said yester-day.
Federal Heritage Minis-ter James Moore rejected afunding request from thecity in a letter to MayorStephen Mandel that wasmade public on Monday.
“We looked at this in
terms of its full potentialcost, and I’m telling youthat the cost of securing a90-day event in northernAlberta with oilsands infra-structure around the cor-ner is not a low-risk cost,”said Ambrose.
“(It was) based on thenotion that even onethreat to oilsands infra-structure or one threat tothe venue, the public or aVIP could escalate thesecosts up to a billion dol-lars.”
Ambrose rejected Man-del’s angry suggestionsthat she and her colleaguesdidn’t work hard enoughto get the bid through.“The mayor and I have al-ways had a very productiverelationship and I hope tocontinue to have a produc-tive relationship with the
mayor,” she said. “I under-stand his disappointment. Imyself and all of my col-leagues in Edmontonworked very hard to find away to make this work, butat the end of the day the
costs associated with thisevent were prohibitive.”
Public Safety MinisterVic Toews spelled out hisconcerns to Moore in a let-ter dated Nov. 20. “I am notcomfortable with the con-
clusion that securing thevenue in Edmonton can bedone for the $80 to $100million I am told it willcost,” the letter says.
Toews pointed out thatVancouver’s security costs
during the Winter Gameslast February spiralledfrom $125 million to near-ly $1 billion. The summitsin Ontario in June experi-enced similar increases, hesaid. THE CANADIAN PRESS

U.S. President Barack Oba-ma yesterday pledged theUnited States would de-fend South Korea afterwhat the White Housebranded an outrageous at-tack by North Korea.
“South Korea is our ally.It has been since the Kore-an war,” Obama said in hisfirst comments about theNorth Korean shelling of aSouth Korean island.
“And we strongly affirmour commitment to de-fend South Korea as part ofthat alliance.”
Obama met with his topnational security advisersto discuss next steps.
North and South Koreaexchanged artillery fireyesterday along their dis-
puted frontier, raising ten-sions between the rivals totheir highest level in morethan a decade.
The communist nationwarned of more militarystrikes if the South en-croaches on the maritimeborder by “even 0.001 mil-
limetre.”Working to head off any
escalation, the U.S. did notreposition any of its 29,000troops in the South ormake other militarymoves.
The emergency beganwhen North Korea warnedthe South to halt militarydrills near their sea border.
When Seoul refused andbegan firing artillery intodisputed waters — butaway from the North Kore-an shore — the North re-taliated by shelling thesmall island of Yeon-pyeong, which housesSouth Korean military in-stallations and a smallcivilian population.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A new study of life satis-faction in Canada findsthat among the provinces,Prince Edward Islandtakes the happinesscrown.
The study, released yes-terday by the Centre forthe Study of Living Stan-dards, found that on ascale of one to five, the av-erage level of happinessamong Canadians aged 20and over was 4.26 in 2007-08.
At the provincial level,life satisfaction was high-est in P.E.I., at 4.33, andlowest in Ontario, at 4.23.
Andrew Sharpe, thecentre’s executive direc-tor, said P.E.I. had a num-ber of factors going in itsfavour that resulted in aslightly higher level ofhappiness than the na-tional average.
These included a strongsense of community be-longing, less stress andfewer recent immigrants.
“We all know that (im-migrants) suffer fromhigh unemployment orthey often are underem-
ployed or they basicallyare out of the labour forcecompletely becausethey’ve just given up,”Sharpe said.
While happier in gen-eral, individuals withhigher incomes do notnecessarily have more joyin their lives.
“If all your co-workersget a raise and you don't,you’re not going to be ashappy, whereas if you ba-sically suffer a decline inincome, your boss cutsyour wages but he cutseveryone else’s wages (so)that they’re about thesame, there’s no real dif-ference,” Sharpe said.
The study was based ondata gathered by theCanadian CommunityHealth Survey from Statis-tics Canada. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The recession has left a lin-gering bruise on an in-creasingly vulnerablesector of Canadian society:young, single men.
John Stapleton, a socialpolicy researcher has justcompleted an exhaustivestudy of social assistanceduring the recession, forthe Mowat Centre for Poli-cy Innovation.
Stapleton has siftedthrough welfare data fromfive provinces represent-ing 79 per cent of thecountry’s population, andfound that the recessionhas revealed two keytrends.
The good news, hewrites in his draft paper, isthat federal and provincialprograms for families havehelped single mothers dealwith poverty.
The opposite is true foryoung, single men. In
Ontario, the number in thisgroup on welfare has risen61 per cent in nine years, to148,000 from 92,000.
Similar increases werefound in British Columbia,and Quebec, among otherprovinces. THE CANADIAN PRESS

IT’S OFFICIAL: DOGS SMARTER THAN CATS
Just sayin’
PAULSULLIVAN W
e’ve got the answerto the question thatvexed the ancients:Which are smarter,dogs or cats?
The answer is dogs. Before you cough up a
hairball, we’ve got scientific evi-dence to support this outrageous(if you’re a cat lover) claim.
Oxford University scientistsstudied the brains of 500 speciesof mammals, both alive andextinct, going back 60 millionyears, and discovered that thebrains of social animals such asmonkeys, horses, dolphins,camels, and dogs have grownfaster than the brains of solitarymammals, like deer, rhinos …and cats.
They appear to have a lot oftime on their hands at Oxford
University.Of course, if you’re a cat, you
won’t care. You’ll just stare thatcat stare, then walk awayrefusing to returnuntil somebodyfeeds you. It doesn’tmatter who, as longas it’s yourfavourite food. Andonly your favouritefood.
If you’re a dog,you’ll jump up anddown, and by wag-ging your tail andbarking, you’ll sig-nal your enthusias-tic assent toanything humanscome up with, even pointy-head-ed Oxford scientists, as long as itinvolves going out and chasingsomething. It’s also good if it in-volves snacks.
It doesn’t seem to matter ifyou’re a dog or a cat or a camel,for that matter, snacks are good.
You should know I’m a dogperson. Oh, andI’m also a cat per-son. I’m prettygood on monkeys,horses, dolphins,and deer, too, but Idraw the line atrhinos. My house isa rhino-free zone.We don’t allowcamels, either.
Seriously, whydoes it matter? Mygrand-dog Shortyis an English bull-dog, and on that
list of canine intelligence,English bulldogs rank No. 104 outof 108 breeds. Yet, we all loveShorty, who makes up for hislack of RAM by being the most
single-minded animal in thehousehold. He can have hours ofendless fun pulling at the otherend of anything in his jaws. Andbecause he’s bred to pull down1,500-pound raging bovines, healways wins. But he still wants toplay and will still want to play at3:30 tomorrow morning.
You have to admire hiscomplete dedication, even whenyou’re begging for relief.
This debate will never beresolved, as most people havedocumentary evidence that Fluffythe Cat or Bailey the Dog issmarter than your averageOxford University scientist.
And like Shorty, they never gettired of playing the game.
Stop the presses!
“Of course, ifyou’re a cat, youwon’t care. You’lljust stare that catstare, then walkaway refusing to return until
somebody feeds you.”

Pink celebratesher greatest hitsWhile Pink’s impendingmotherhood is garneringher plenty of ink, she’s gotsomething else to cele-brate - 10 years in the mu-sic business.
The 31-year-old singerrecently released GreatestHits ... So Far!!! that chroni-cles her growth from a po-tent, big-voiced R&B star todynamic pop singer andperformer.
It comes after a year inwhich she has gotten themost acclaim of her career,including raves for her ac-robatic, levitating per-formance at this year’sGrammy Awards.
How does it feel to release aretrospective at this point inyour career?I definitely had mixed feel-ings. (Laughs.) You knowwhat? I’m happier nowthan I was when it wasfirst being talked about. Ihad been putting it off foryears, although thatsounds pretty funny. Idon't feel old enough, Iguess.
What made you decide to finally do it?At the end of the day,when I get out of my ownway, which is what I had todo, it’s something to reallybe proud of, because whenI was a little girl, all I
wanted to do was makeone hit record. To be ableto put out an album full ofthem is pretty damn spe-cial.
Over the last year, you’ve got-ten more acclaim. What’syour reaction?I’ve been busting my (butt)in Europe and Australiaand pretty much every-where else outside of thiscountry for 10 years play-ing stadiums and arenas ...and then you come hereand play clubs, which iskinda rad because I livehere and I like being leftalone.
But also to constantlystill be hearing people go,“Wow, she can really sing.”... I don't know, it’s a con-stant battle, but it keepsme motivated, and theGrammys was that mo-ment where I felt like fi-nally I had been given mydue a little bit.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COARSE LANGUAGE,NOT RECOMMENDEDFOR YOUNG CHILDREN
Sometimes playing a balletdancer on screen can re-quire just as much practice,dedication and pain as actu-ally being a ballet dancer, asNatalie Portman found outwhen she took on the leadrole in Darren Aronofsky’sdarkly beautiful BlackSwan.
To play a perfectionistNew York dancer runningherself ragged for the leadrole in Swan Lake, Portmanbegan training a full yearbefore filming began, withfive hours of work a day —including three hours ofballet class.
“The physical disciplinereally helped the emotional
side of the character, be-cause you get the sense ofthis monastic lifestyle ofonly working out, which isa dancer’s life,” she says.“You don’t drink, you don’tgo out with your friends,you don’t have much food,you are constantly puttingyour body through extremepain. You get the under-standing of the self-flagella-tion of a ballet dancer.”
Black Swan wasn’t Portman’s first foray into ballet.
She danced as a child until she was about 12.

Burlesque Director: Steve AntinGenre: MusicalStars: Christina Aguilera, Cher,Eric Dane, Kristen Bell, AlanCumming88
The thing about Burlesqueis that it’s not quite goodenough, and it’s not quitebad enough. When you’regoing for a glitzy backstageshowbiz flick, you’ve gotCabaret on one end andShowgirls on the other.Burlesque landssomewhere in between —and awkwardly at that. And
for a flashy, colourful, big-budget musical, it’s really,really boring. The realproblem is the story, whichis so sugar-coated andwarm and fuzzy that eventhe villain (Eric Dane) andthe prickly diva-in-chief(Kristen Bell) aren’t reallyso bad. In the end, giventhe big musical numbersand thorough lack of con-flict, riskiness or teeth, theprimary audience that willlikely fully embraceBurlesque is theater-happymiddle-schoolers.

1⁄2A slick talking and moral-ly compromised drug repspecializing in Viagra falls
for a sassy young artistwith Parkinson’s Disease.
Impossibly snappy dia-logue, dirty jokes, gratu-itous nudity, anddisease-of-the-week senti-mentalism combine foran extraordinarilyawkward blend that feels
like the screenplays forthree different failed rom-coms jammed together in-to a single outing. Fans ofthe tired genre might getsomething out of it, butcivilians should stay faraway.

TangledDirectors: Nathan Greno,Bryan HowardStars: Mandy Moore, ZacharyLevi, Donna Murphy888
There’s something un-deniably old-fashionedabout the latest Disney ani-mated feature and thank-
fully that’s a good thing.Tangled is a heartwarmingreturn to fairy tales for Dis-ney with a CGI sheen su-pervised by Pixar’s JohnLasseter.
There is a liberal dose ofShrek-era irony and sassthat can get a little grating,but overall a focus on sim-ple storytelling prevails
and fortunately never de-volves into the mess of lastyear’s The Princess AndThe Frog. A solid dose ofcomic relief led by a hilari-ous sword-wielding horsekeeps the script feelingfresh amidst the admitted-ly predictable fairy talestructure.

FasterGenre: ActionDirector: George Tillman Jr. Stars: Dwayne Johnson888
Given its cars-and-gunstheme and the fact that itstars Dwayne Johnson,Faster feels like it shouldbe a lot more fun than it is.
That’s not to say it isn’tstill something of a goodtime. But George TillmanJr.’s high-octane revengetale is surprisingly dour,with a lot more talk aboutmorality and mortalitythan you’d expect fromyour average muscled ac-tion flick.
There are some impres-sive car chases and tenseshoot-outs, but the film’spervading sombernessmakes it tough to get into.And really, whose idea wasit to cast Johnson as thelead in a film and not evenhave him crack a smileonce? NED EHRBAR
Performancefit for a king —or an Oscar? Academy Awards voterslove a great performanceas a British monarch. Andthey love a great perform-ance embodying a disabili-ty.
Colin Firth, who earnedhis first Oscar nominationfor last year’s A SingleMan, this season deliverson both counts in TheKing's Speech, playingKing George VI as he reluc-tantly ascends to thethrone amid a lifelong bat-tle to overcome a debilitat-ing stammer.
Often playing glib char-acters with a bitingtongue, as he did in theBridget Jones romancesand the comedy EasyVirtue, Firth is the utteropposite of eloquent asGeorge VI, father of QueenElizabeth II, who wasknown by his given nameAlbert, or Bertie, to hisfamily.
“I suppose I wasn’t look-ing to undermine my elo-quence, such as it may be,or to interfere with myown ability to complete asentence,” Firth, 50, said inan interview at Septem-ber's Toronto InternationalFilm Festival, where TheKing's Speech playedahead of its theatrical re-lease Friday.
“What fascinated me iswhat is in that stammerthat tells us about whathe’s going through,” Firthsaid. “Those silences thatBertie finds himself inwhen he hits one of those
blocks are a positive abyss,and they may only last asecond or two, but theyprobably feel like an eter-nity.”
Though early criticsprizes and the season'sfirst big film nominationsare weeks away, The King’sSpeech has buzz as a po-tential front-runner acrossthe board at the Oscars.
Along with Firth, whocould emerge as the best-actor favourite, the filmhas strong actingprospects for Helena Bon-ham Carter as Bertie’swife, Queen Elizabeth, andGeoffrey Rush as his wilyspeech therapist.
Audiences have adoredThe King’s Speech on thefestival circuit, where itsawards include the prizefor being the fans’favourite film at Toronto.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Richler often met with his agent.
Up for a little literarytourism? Walk a mile inBarney Panofsky’s shoes.
He’s the main characterin Mordecai Richler’s ac-claimed novel Barney’sVersion, which hits the bigscreen on Christmas Eve.
And here’s the goodnews: If you want to followin the footsteps of Richlerhimself, Panofsky’s hauntsoverlap with those of theaward-winning, best-sell-ing Canadian literary icon.
Barney’s Version, whichwill see Paul Giamatti inthe title role, is also set inEurope and New York.
But there’s also plentyof action in Montreal,which happens to be Rich-ler’s hometown.
In fact, if you do the pubcrawl to Richler’s (andPanofsky’s) favourite bars
maybe you’ll hear a tidbitabout the internationallyfamous author.
Margo MacGillivrayslings drinks behind thebar at the Sir WinstonChurchill Pub on CrescentStreet where Richler, andPanofsky, were fixtures.
“He included us in Bar-ney’s Version and he quot-ed a few of the regulars,”she said.
Across the street is Zig-gy’s Pub, which is referredto as Richler’s second liv-ing room.
It’s a spot where he of-ten met his agent.
“He came up with a fewideas here,” says ownerZiggy Eichenbaum.
“He used to enjoysmoked meat sandwichesfrom Schwartz’s and wegot it delivered by a cab.
Another bar, Grumpy’s,is a block over and figuresprominently in the movie.
Panofsky hung outthere and Richler shared acelebratory scotch withRobert Lantos, who pro-duced Barney’s Version,when they got honourarydoctorates from McGillUniversity in 2000.
“We used streets likeSherbrooke Street andMountain Street andGrumpy’s, which wasMordecai’s favourite bar,”Lantos recalled.
“The landmarks werereally important to givethe film authenticity and asense of reality.”
Le Mas des Oliviers wasone of Richler’s favouriterestaurants, recallsWilliam Weintraub, an au-thor and journalist who
was Richler’s friend for 50years.
The bar strip lies a walkfrom the home of Panof-sky and Richler on Sher-brooke Street.
Both men lived behindthe imposing walls of LeChateau apartments,which looks like fort.
It sits across the streetfrom the posh Ritz-Carltonhotel, which provided akey scene in Barney’s Ver-sion and was regular hang-out for Richler, especiallywhen he lived across thestree from it..
“Mordecai is famous forhaving gone there all thetime and having lunchwith his wife and others,”said Ari Lantos, who is aproducer on Barney’s Ver-sion. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Google spokeswomanWendy Rozeluk said thefeature will be availablecountrywide, but more de-tailed route info will beavailable for nine majorcities that shared their biketrail data with the compa-ny.
The cities are Ottawa,Gatineau, Que., Toronto,Waterloo, Ont. Winnipeg,Edmonton, Calgary, Van-

What will you be feedinghungry guests at your GreyCup party on Sunday?
Lukewarm deliveredpizza or a savoury steam-ing bowl of homemadechili?
“Why don’t we thinkoutside the box (no pizzapun intended) and dosomething a bit different?”says Adrian Niman, chefand owner of the FoodDudes, a Toronto cateringcompany whose staff areall under 28.
“I would get away fromthe traditional stuff,” saysthe 26-year-old, who alsoowns the firm.
He studied food andhospitality at the Universi-ty of Guelph and then
trained at Toronto’s North44 Restaurant undercelebrity chef Mark McE-wan. Niman travelled toMallorca, Spain, where heapprenticed under Miche-lin Star chef Marc Fosh atthe luxurious Reads Hotel.
He says he does thinkchili would be marvellousto serve football fans aswell as “a lobster quesadil-la and carrot chips insteadof potato chips”.
Niman says that he andhis staff are finding thatmany of their clients areshying away from eatingred meat, so his firm is in-corporating sustainablefish and shellfish intomany of their offerings.
On game day, he is host-ing a Grey Cup partyat his Toronto condofor all his staff. “I am
going to cook and let themtake the day off and enjoythe game,” he says. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The folks at SesameStreet are hoping to spellout a message of eatingwell with a new initiativeaimed at fighting hunger.
The program, Food forThought: Eating Well on aBudget, is being put to-gether by Sesame Work-shop, the non-profitorganization behindSesame Street.
It’s aimed at the 15 percent of households in the
U.S — accounting for ap-proximately 9 million chil-dren — who don't get foodthat meets basic nutrition-al needs due to financialinstability.
“We found there werereally very few resourcesengaging young childrenand helping them engagenot only in healthy habitsbut also in knowing that asa family they're not alonein this,” said Jeanette Be-tancourt, vice-president ofcontent design for the edu-
cation, research and out-reach department ofSesame Workshop.
The program providesfamilies with an educa-tional outreach kit whichincludes a video featuringfour new Muppets, the Su-per foods - banana, cheese,whole-grain roll and broc-coli.
The video also featuresElmo and friends, plus realfamilies, as they try newfoods, learn about healthysnacks and discover the
importance of sharing ameal together.
And, of course, the broc-coli knows how to boogie.
“All our super foods ac-tually sing and dance andencourage the kids and El-mo to try new foods andtry new snacks, to eathealthier,” said Betan-court. The food Muppetsaren’t joining the officialSesame Street cast, butthey will be featured on aDecember show.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The most bewildering newjob can be the old one —that front office welcomedesk or highway hamburg-er stand you swore you’dnever circle back to.
Tough times have a wayof kicking ambitiousyoung upstarts back to are-entry level job at SquareOne, Inc.
What quicker way tonab rent, or relearn the te-dium of a past existence?
Still, though careercounselors concede howthat déjà vu can be disori-enting, it need not be dev-astating.
“When you go back to apreviously held job, youcan feel stuck, like, ‘I can’tseem to get out of here,’”says Barbara Frankel, aNew York City-based Ca-reer Coach.
“But you have to put
your feelings aside.”Start by emotionally in-
vesting yourself in the all-too-familiar drab rightfrom Day One.
“Rather than saying toyourself, ‘I’m better thanthis,’ have pride in a jobwell done,” says MaggieMistal, host of Making aLiving on Sirius Radio.“That’s a lost art. You getsomething from it, even ifthe job itself doesn’t havemuch power or status init.”
That said, settling into apre-worn desk chair does-n’t mean settling for it. Ifyou don’t re-think your
long-term choices, youcould trap yourself in a ca-reer loop.
“You have to know whatyour end goal is,” Frankelemphasizes.
Once you’ve set someambitions down, go for it— even if that requiresmoonlighting interning orstudying on precious offhours.
“Stay career relevant bytaking classes, network-ing, and continuing to jobsearch in your field,”Mistal encourages.
“You might also want tostart a side business thatdoes showcase your ex-
pertise.”For strivers stuck in a
career loop — re-rehears-ing rote motions from adrab past life — there’s noside hustle quite like free-lancing, she says.
“Having freelance workon your résumé will lookbetter than a backwardscareer move,” she says

Put a plan in place Before you backtrack to the place youonce called work, reminisce on the people, pests, and pettytyrants you shared the space with. “If you had a good rela-tionship before, you’re going to get along well this time,”Mistal notes, adding that, obviously, the reverse is true.

DANIELLUBLINIS AN EMPLOYMENT LAWYER WITH WHITTEN & LUBLIN LLP. [email protected]
So concluded B.C.LabourRelations Boardin upholdingthe dismissal oftwo employees
fired for Facebookcomments they postedabout their employer, inan important decision re-leased last month.
That case should giveemployees pause, since
FACEBOOK POSTS CAN HAUNT WORKERS“The Complainantscould not have a seri-ous expectation of pri-vacy when publishingcomments on theirFacebook websitesand therefore thecomments are damag-ing to the Employer’sbusiness.”
many too easily confusefreedom of speech withfreedom from workplaceconsequences. Here are afew ways employees canbe fired for Facebook useat work.
Spending an inordinateamount of time onFacebook while at work istantamount to theft of anemployer’s time, whichcan amount to cause fordismissal. In thesecircumstances, seldom isFacebook being usedexclusively for businesspurposes.
When Facebookpostings reveal unsavourycharacteristics, employees
can be fired. I’ve had twosuch cases. In one, theemployee’s pictures of hermessy workstation irkedher employer so much,she was immediately dis-missed. In the other, alarge retail chain fired astore manager after heposted a link to a video ofhimself that was takenwhen he was off-duty, butin company uniform.
Comments about acompany’s clients or prod-ucts can lead to dismissal.Given the value placed onconfidential information,courts are more likely torespect an employer’s de-cision to fire an employee
whose postingscompromised, or even po-tentially compromised, acompetitive advantage.
Criminal laws can alsobe invoked if employeesharass or intimidate co-workers via Facebook.These employees can endup surfing the classifiedsfor a criminal defencelawyer, as well as for anew job. But it’s not justFacebook use while atwork that can land you inmy office seeking legal ad-vice. Facebook profilesand postings created andmaintained outside ofworking hours and on em-ployees’ personal time can
quickly derail an employ-ee’s career, if the contentbrings his or her employ-er’s reputation into disre-pute.
Here are some tips tokeep employees out of hotwater: Do not post “casual-ly” about your job oradversely comment aboutother employees or yourboss. Your employer canand will often monitorwhat you’ve written.
Familiarize yourselfwith any computer usepolicies in place.
While some personalweb use is often permittedat work, much isforbidden.
You can’t always hide behind your firewall at work.

Zach Veach, 15, created an app to stop texting and driving But experts say kid inventors are in decline
Like every teenager, ZachVeach, 15, uses a cell. Buthe’s an innovator too.When he saw a girl in hishometown killed becauseshe sent text messageswhile driving, Zach decid-ed to invent an anti-tex-ting application.
“When you’re 16 andlearning how to drive, youdon’t need any distrac-tions,” explains Zach, anauto racing driver fromOhio.
He has designed an appthat cell users can set toautomatically respond totext messages. Drivers canset their message to say“Sorry, I’m driving. I’ll textyou when I arrive.”
Unfortunately, creativechildren like Zach are be-coming a rarity. Fordecades, the Torrance testhas measured kids’ creativ-ity in 50 countries. Since1990, scores have been de-clining every year.
“There has been a sharpdecrease in children’s abil-ity to produce unique andunusual ideas,” says KyungHee Kim, professor of edu-cational psychology at theCollege of William andMary, who has analyzed 55years of Torrance tests.
Schools take part of theblame for stressing rotelearning over creativethinking, as do parents forallowing kids to stay toolong in front of the screen.
“Children watch TVand play video games,which encourage limitedthinking,” says DaleGrubb, professor of psy-chology at Baldwin-Wal-lace College. “This trendcan lead to a dangerous in-novation vacuum.”
Passive children may bea harbinger of a global cri-sis. A recent study over 50years shows that Torrancetest results are the bestprediction for accomplish-
ment in adulthood.For his part, Zach is al-
ready working on his nextinnovation: a cell phoneapp that blocks calls whenthe user is driving.
Given that 28% of UShighway accidents lastyear were caused by driv-ers using phones, Zachstands to become a suc-cessful and wealthy man.

In his absence, rookies Jeff Deslauri-ers and Devan Dubnyk were handedthe keys and promptly spent theirfirst year in the NHL getting shelled.It’s a wonder, then, that the Oilers
went with the exact same strategy thisseason.
There is one minor twist, of course.Veteran Martin Gerber was signed in theoff-season, but instead of making himKhabibulin’s backup — a role Gerberwould be excellently suited for — theSwiss netminder was sent to the Ameri-can League to backstop the fledglingOklahoma City Barons. Dubnyk handledduties behind Khabibulin with the bigclub, but with the veteran down with agroin injury, the sophomore now ascendsto No. 1, with Gerber as backup.
Now granted, Dubnyk did get his firstwin of the season against Anaheim on theweekend, withstanding a barrage ofDucks shots early on, but I’m not surewhat good it does him or the franchise toonce again have him thrust into the spot-light on a team that plays less than steadydefence.
When Gerber was signed in August, itall made sense to me: Dubnyk andDeslauriers can get their confidence backin the AHL, while also challenging eachother for time — a very healthy situation.But having Dubnyk up all season, playingin just six of the team’s first 19 games,
doesn’t seem like an ideal learning envi-ronment. Gerber, on the other hand, hasexperience on bad teams — his last NHLforay (he played in Russia last season)came at the end of Toronto’s dismal 2008-09 campaign and he posted a winningrecord for those Maple Leafs.
Dubnyk is a project goaltender with in-triguing size (he’s six-foot-five) and skill.Developing on the fly didn’t work lastyear and I’m not sure why it would thistime around either.
ARE THE OILDOING HARMTO DUBNYK?Perhaps the biggest gamble made by Edmontonbrass this fall came in net. Veteran NikolaiKhabibulin was naturally the No. 1 goaltender inthe organization, but the 37-year-old wasbattling the physical toll of a life in hockey andwas coming off a 2009-10 season that saw himlimited to 18 appearances due to back surgery.
Oilers fall prey toBryzgalov, Coyotes
Ilya Bryzgalov made 23saves for his 17th careerNHL shutout and MartinHanzal and Lee Stempniakeach scored twice to helpthe Phoenix Coyotes beatthe Edmonton Oilers 5-0last night for their sev-enth consecutive win.
Stempniak added an as-sist, Wojtek Wolski had agoal and an assist, andDavid Schlemko and EricBelanger had a pair of as-sists for the Coyotes, whomoved into first place inthe Pacific Division.
Phoenix earned the vic-tory despite the absenceof defencemen Ed Jo-vanovski and Adrian Au-coin.
Aucoin missed his sec-ond game because of a
lower-body injury, and Jo-vanovski was sidelined bythe flu.
Bryzgalov was rarelytested en route to his firstshutout since March 13 atCarolina. He faced onlyfour shots in the first peri-od, and Edmonton gener-ated few scoring chancesthroughout the game.
Hanzal gave Phoenix a1-0 lead 48 seconds in. Hescored into the open rightside of the net whengoalie Devan Dubnykoverplayed Ray Whitneyat the top left corner ofthe crease.
Dubnyk left the net toprevent Whitney fromshooting, but Whitneypassed the puck to Han-zal, who was alone on theright doorstep.
Wolski made it 2-0 twominutes into the secondperiod. He gained controlof the puck along theright wing boards andskated toward the creasebefore beating Dubnykwith a quick wrist shot.

Make no mistake — Ford’s latest powertrain lineup is a story of four new engines
The 2011 F-150 might lookthe same on the outside,but between the frontfenders it’s a whole newtruck game.
In one lightning-strikemove, Ford’s top-sellinghauler unleashes a drasti-cally different powertrainlineup that, depending onyour selection, allows youto travel further on a tankof gas, tote a heavier pay-load and pull a heaviertravel trailer. There are al-so more safety and conven-ience features.
It’s common for au-tomakers to refresh theirmore popular models after
a two- or three-year period,but for Ford to bring out aquartet of new V6 and V8engines is nothing short ofastonishing. It will alsolikely send the competitionback to their respectivedrawing boards to devisesome sort of response.
Reducing fuel consump-tion is important to every-one, but it’s of particular
importance to truck own-ers. These normally thirstyrigs tend to consume morethan their fair share of pe-troleum products. Obvi-ously any move to reel inconsumption is moneyahead for truckers.
On this front, Ford ap-pears to have all the basescovered, although thereare no hybrid or diesel
powertrains in the mix.For light-duty use, the F-
150 is offered with a base3.7-litre V6 that provides302 horsepower and 278pound-feet of torque. The3.7 is the first V6 availablein a full-size Ford pickupsince the 2008 model year.
For heavy lifting and off-roading duties, the mostmuscular engine in the F-150 garage is a 6.2-litre V8that puts out 411 horse-power and a road-ripping434 pound-feet of torque.
With plenty of power-train choices to suit a mul-titude of work and playapplications, the F-150stands to gain considerableground — and credibility— in the pickup segment.
Ford makes apower play
Ford has unleashed a drastically different powertrain lineup that allows you to travel further on a tank of gas and tote a heavier payload.

I’ve tried soya cheeseand soya hot dogs andhave this to say aboutthem: No.
But maybe I’ll have bet-ter luck with another prod-uct that mimics the realthing: synthetic diesel.
The diesel we’ve allcome to know is refinedfrom crude oil, just likegasoline. Don’t know ifyou’ve noticed, but lots offolks think we should scaleback a bit from the 400million gallons of gasolinewe use every day in NorthAmerica.
Nothing is going to re-place that kind of volumeovernight, but over thelong haul synthetic diesellooks quite promising —especially if it’s for vehicu-lar consumption.
For one thing, moderndiesel engines don’t give a
hoot if diesel is sourcedfrom crude or palm oil. Wecan also use existing petro-leum-based infrastructures(like gas stations). Andwhen we source it fromother stuff like palm oil ornatural gas, it’s cleaner.
We can also source itfrom renewable stuff —like algae, certain seeds,used cooking oil and ani-mal fats. You can even usegreen matter that wouldotherwise go to landfill.When you use icky stufflike that, the product iscalled biodiesel, a form ofsynthetic diesel. Basically,if it doesn’t come fromcrude, it’s synthetic.
You can also makeethanol from biomass, butvehicles are more efficientrunning on diesel.
The Germans were thefirst to develop synthetic
diesel, way back in the1920s. They developed away to make liquid fuelfrom coal, a process that isstill used today. Synthetic
diesel can also be madefrom the gunk that’s in ourtar sands.
But its real future is tiedto when we can get the
right feedstocks — feed-stocks that are renewable,carbon neutral and can beproduced in great whacksof volume.
The best hopes so far arealgae and a non-edibleplant called jatropha,which has a seed that con-tains high amounts of oil.Jatropha is also advanta-geous, because it can growin marginal soil, doesn’thave to be fertilized or wa-tered and contains onlysmall amounts of Free Fat-ty Acid (FFA), which com-plicates the process toconvert it to biodiesel.
But a Canadian compa-ny, called BIOX, has pio-neered a way to makebiodiesel from feedstockswith high FFA content,such as animal fat or crudepalm oil.
In fact, BIOX’s new plantin Hamilton, Ontario, isthe largest continuousflow biodiesel facility inthe world. It has the poten-tial to produce 67 millionlitres a year.
Sounds like we’re get-ting somewhere.

Don’t attempt this at home
Everyone has a favouritemovie car-chase scene.
If you’re old school, it
might be from Bullitt orThe French Connection,and if it’s a modern flavouryou seek, Matt Damon’spopular Bourne offeringsmight work.
While tastes vary, theseunbelievable sequences of-ten beg the question,“How did they do that?”
On Nov. 25, cable TV
network SPEED attemptsto answer that questionduring its two-hour spe-cial called Hollywood’sHottest Car Chases. It’sthe “sausage making”that’s often not publiclydiscussed.
“In every production, Ithink there’s always a sep-aration between the vision
of the creators and the ac-tual physical capabilitiesof what can be done, espe-cially when it comes intosomething as stylistic asdrifting, where there’s anattitude being expressed inthe driving,” said Holly-wood stunt driver and two-time Formula D driftchampion, Tanner Foust.
“The style is almost likeacting. It’s part of the char-acter’s style. When you’reworking with over-the-topcharacters, you have totake that vision into yourdriving. Sometimes that’sphysically possible, some-times it’s not.”
Foust, who also stars inTV shows Battle of the Su-percars on cable channelSPEED and Top Gear USA,is sought after for superi-or car control and has pro-vided his skills for hitmovies such as TheBourne Ultimatum, TheFast and The Furious 4and The Dukes of Hazard.Even with all the precau-tions taken, the unexpect-ed can still be alarming.
“They digitally madethe cliffs much steeperthan they really were, buthave no doubt, if youwent off, you weren’t go-ing to walk away duringthe production,” Foustsays. “That was a littlesurprising to see how re-ally dangerous every-
thing was, just to make amovie look dangerous,which is something youtry to avoid.”
As for adding on-screenexcitement, there are real-life tricks of the trade thatdo enhance on-screen ef-fects, like allowing for bet-ter car manoeuvrabilityand ease of control.

Tackling tough conditions
Looking at a tire, you maythink the tread is just arandom pattern. In reality,those squiggles andgrooves are a major part ofthe tire’s engineering,with each pattern specifi-cally designed for the tire’sintended use.
A new tire from Cooper,the Discoverer S/TMaxx,takes it a step further withlittle serrated steps at theedges of the tread blocks.Looking almost like a tinyflight of stairs, the stepshelp prevent small stonesfrom wedging into the tire.The S/TMaxx is intendedfor light trucks and SUVs.
“This is a true commer-cial grade for the toughestconditions,” says SteveSawyer, director of brandand product managementfor Cooper Tire & Rubber.“This is a tire for peoplewho live in mining com-munities or work in quar-ries.”
Tires in heavy-duty userun the risk of puncturesfrom sharp objects, andCooper Tire further rein-forces this tire’s sidewallswith an angled ply — oneof the layers that makes upthe tire — that tightens it
Cooper’s new tire, the Discover S/TMaxx, designed for the worst conditions Serrated edges key to its success

Getting traction
Think you know the differ-
ence between summer
and winter tires? Find out
the here.
Rubber Tire traction is acombination of thecompound — the rubberand other materials fromwhich it is made — and thetread design. On a wintertire, softer compoundgrips cold asphalt, whilean aggressive design chan-nels snow and slush outfrom under the tire. Sum-mer performance tires usea firmer compound so theywon’t get too soft in theheat, and their tread is de-signed to provide bettertraction when cornering.The tread is the part of thetire that touches the road.It’s divided into “blocks,”rubber segments that pro-vide grip, and which areseparated by grooves thathelp to move water out ofthe way. Each tread blockhas tiny slits cut into it.These are called sipes, andthey help keep the treadblocks flexible so they cangrip the road better. Theedge of the tire is calledthe shoulder; it providesstability when cornering.The side of the tire iscalled the sidewall, whilethe part that meets thewheel rim is the bead.
and makes it less likelythat any sharp items canwork their way throughthe wheel.
As a final protective fea-ture, the tire has smallrubber bars between the
tread blocks, called ejectorribs.
If a stone does manageto work its way past theserrated steps, the ribshelp push the stone backout on to the road as the
tire turns.A drawback to aggres-
sive tread patterns is thatthey tend to be noisy whendriving, and engineershave to design the tread tomaintain a balance be-
tween tire performanceand road noise.
“This optimized forboth,” Sawyer says.
“This tire is quiet, de-spite its aggressive pat-tern.”

Subaru’s Tribeca launchedfor the 2006 model year asthe largest vehicle fromthe Japanese automaker. Acrossover SUV with seatingfor up to seven, the contro-versial-looking Tribecacompeted with numerousother family-friendly uteslike the Honda Pilot, FordEdge and GMC Acadia.
Like most of its compe-tition, the Tribeca offeredfive doors, six-cylinderpower and All Wheel Drive(AWD). All Tribeca modelsget the same flat-six en-gine, automatic transmis-sion with manual modeand Symmetrical AWD sys-tem as standard. Powerwas rated at 250 horse-power for the 2006 modeland 245 for 2007. If you’re
looking for a V8 engine ortowing capacity of morethan 3,500 pounds, you’llhave to shop elsewhere.
With a spot in the prici-er and more upscale partof the marketplace, allTribeca models also gotdual-zone climate control,a sunroof, power every-thing, and heated, power-adjustable cloth seats.
What Owners Like Owners tend to rave aboutfuturistic and daringstyling, abundant interiorspace, uniqueness, and acomfortable, quiet and rel-atively sporty ride andhandling equation. Win-tertime traction is also
highly rated, especiallywith snow tires on board.One member of a SubaruTribeca owner’s forum saidhe “never once felt at risk”in bad weather.
What Owners HateNumerous owners wishedfor more power, and oftengriped about the models’requirement that it be fed
premium fuel. Other com-plaints included a smallglove-box and easilyscratched paint and interi-or panels.
Common IssuesSubaru’s been known tobuild a solid and reliablepower train, and theTribeca seems to be no ex-ception. A well-maintained
Tribeca should prove atrustworthy companion.
Computer or sensor fail-ures aren’t unheard of,and that these issues willtend to be apparent fromthe get-go on a test drive.Check the instrument clus-ter for any Check Enginelights or AWD systemwarning lights, whichcould indicate a problem.
The VerdictWhere possible, a dealer-certified used model willbe your best bet — thougha dealer checkup can addpeace of mind to a privatesale. Find a good price ona Tribeca that’s been welltaken care of, and you’lllikely enjoy worry-free,confident and upscaletravels.
Subaru is known to build reliablepower train Tribeca no exception
A trustworthy companion
Tribeca offered five doors, six-cylinder power and AWD, with five- or seven-passenger seating configurations.
