Ottawa police say the manwent to victims’ homes, gavework estimates and took depositsand then either left withoutdoing the work or failed to fin-ish it.

As the Occupy Wall Streetdemonstrations continueinto their third week inNew York, plans are under-way to bring similar acts ofcivil disobedience to Ot-tawa.

More than 700 were re-cently arrested Saturday asthey confronted police dur-ing a march on the Brook-lyn Bridge.

Similar demonstrationsare starting to spreadthrough the U.S. and othercountries, including Cana-da. Demonstrations are slat-ed for Toronto, Vancouver,

Montreal, and Ottawaamong other cities on Oct.15.

A representative identi-fied as Kevin D. from thegroup Occupy Ottawa sentMetro an email saying ameeting will be held todayto discuss a plan of action.

He wouldn’t explain thegroup’s demands, but saidthose details would be pro-vided following Thursday’smeeting.

“The support for this ac-tion in Ottawa has beenoverwhelming,” wroteKevin D. on the OccupyTo-gether.org website Monday.

“The demonstrations ofnon violent civil disobedi-ence across the U.S havecreated an unprecedentedopportunity for further ac-tion to address the fact thatthe current economic andpolitical system is notworking.” WITH FILES FROM THE CANADIANPRESS

Gatineau police shot andkilled two pit bulls afterthe dogs attacked theirowner and then turned onthe officers, said a policespokesman yesterday.

A neighbour called 911at 8:45 a.m. Sunday to re-port a dog attack, said po-lice spokesperson Const.Pierre Lanthier. Policefound the dogs’ owner waswaiting outside of hisapartment building withsevere bites to his armsand legs when officers ar-rived.

“As police approachedthe victim, one of the pit

bulls started running to-ward the cops. He was real-ly mad and tried to jumpat the police officer. Sothey had no choice but toshoot and kill the dog,”said Lanthier.

Paramedics rushed theman to hospital and policeevacuated the apartmentbuilding because the sec-ond dog was inside.

A dog catcher tried tocontrol the pit bull andthen an officer tried to usepepper spray to subdue it,said Lanthier.

“After that the dog wasdangerous. That’s whenthe police officer used afirearm to kill that dogtoo.”

There will be an inter-nal investigation into the

shooting. Lanthier said theowner gave officers per-mission to kill the seconddog.

“When there is a situa-tion like that, you have tomake sure to protect thepublic, protect the victimand protect ourselves,”said Lanthier. “Sometimes,you can’t use your pepperspray.”

After her parents of-fered their thanks toKnox’s lawyers and sup-porters, Knox spokebriefly, saying, “They're re-minding me to speak inEnglish, because I'm hav-ing problems with that.”

“Thank you to everyonewho's believed in me, whohas defended me, who hassupported my family,” shesaid. “My family’s the mostimportant thing to me so Ijust want to be withthem.”

Apple unveils faster,more powerful iPhone

Forbes ranksCanada topsfor business Forbes ranked Canada asthe best country forbusiness yesterday, mov-ing up from fourth spotlast year, helped by alower overall taxburden.

“While the U.S. isparalysed by fears of adouble-dip recessionand Europe struggles

with sovereign debtissues, Canada’s econo-my has held up betterthan most,” the influen-tial U.S. business maga-zine wrote.

Forbes noted thatCanada ranked ninthamong the 134countries reviewed fortax burden comparedwith 23rd in the catego-ry for 2010.

Canada was the onlycountry to rank in thetop 20 in 10 of the 11categories considered byForbes. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Finance Minister Jim Fla-herty laid out what wouldhave to happen before hewould introduce new stim-ulus to support the econo-my and jobs: a newrecession.

But Flaherty said he’s“relatively confident” thatwill not happen.

The minister’s state-ments yesterday came min-

utes before the TorontoStock Exchange openedwith another big selloff andmore dark news out of Eu-rope that Greece was edg-ing closer to a debt default.

“If we had some sort ofworld recession, that wouldchange the picture dramati-cally,” Flaherty said of thegovernment’s approach.

“But I’m relatively confi-dent that what we’re goingto see in Canada is modesteconomic growth over thenext little while.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Apple CEO Tim Cook talks about the iPhone 4S during

an announcement at Apple headquarters

in Cupertino, Calif., yesterday.

PAUL SAKUMA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Apple Inc. unveiled a faster,more powerful iPhone yes-terday in its first majorproduct event in yearswithout Steve Jobs presid-ing.

New CEO Tim Cook ledthe show after Jobs, whohas been battling healthproblems, resigned fromthe post in August.

Cook, wearing a navyblue button-down shirt andjeans, opened by calling hisnearly 14-year tenure at Ap-ple “the privilege of a life-time.” Those in theaudience clapped as he en-tered, but the reactionseemed more muted thanwhat Jobs had recently re-ceived.

Cook said the iPhone 4,which came out in June2010, sold more quicklythan previous models, butApple has just five per centof the worldwide handsetmarket.

Apple is hoping to growthat with a new model. Thenew iPhone 4S has an im-proved camera with a high-er-resolution sensor. Theprocessor is faster, whichhelps run smoother, morerealistic action games. It’s

also a “world phone,”which means that VerizoniPhones will be able to use-able overseas, just as AT&TiPhones already are.

The new iPhone alsocomes with new mobilesoftware, iOS 5, that in-cludes such features as theability to sync content wire-lessly, without having toplug the device to a Mac orWindows machine.

Apple said the newphone will come in blackor white. Its U.S. price willbe $199 for a 16 gigabyte-version, $299 for 32 GB and$399 for 64 GB — all with atwo-year service contractrequirement.

IOS 5 will also be avail-able on Oct. 12 for existingdevices — the iPhone 4 and3GS, both iPad models andlater versions of the iPodTouch.

Apple said Oct. 12 will al-so mark the launch of itsnew iCloud service, whichwill store content such asmusic, documents, appsand photos on Apple’sservers and let people ac-cess them wirelessly on nu-merous devices.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RE: Gaga takes her caseto Obama, publishedSept. 28

After reading this article Ifelt the same way as LadyGaga, that bullyingshould be a hate crime.

Throughout life youalways get people saying,“It’s just a part ofgrowing up, it builds self-esteem, they like you,just ignore it, just tough-en up, just forget it.”

Those are some of thethings people say, but it’snot that easy. There’s aposter at my school I real-ly like because it says,“Whoever said don’t runfrom your problems nev-er had to face a bully.”

It is hard to gothrough life with a bullyor a memory of a bullyon your back.

Bullying can lead tomany awful things in life.So many people don’ttake bullying seriously,including teachers andother adults. If a kid isbullied in school and tellsa teacher and the teacherdoesn’t do anythingabout it, they’re basicallysaying, “Go ahead, youcan bully — it’s OK to bemean to someone.” How-ever it’s not OK. It is com-pletely wrong and peopledon’t know the effects itcan have on a person. GINA VISSER, VANCOUVER B.C.

Trekking on an87-year-oldmysteryA proposed expedition to MountEverest later this year could solve an87-year-old mystery: Did two Britishadventurers, George Mallory andAndrew Irvine, reach the top of themountain?

Mallory and Irvine began their as-sault on June 6, 1924. They were lastspotted around 1 p.m. on June 8,climbing an obstacle. They were, ac-cording to Scientific American, less

than a kilometre from the summit.And then the weather turned badand they were never seen again.

Their disappearance has prompt-ed many in the climbing communi-ty — and beyond — to speculate onwhat happened to the pair. Morethan a half a dozen expeditionshave scaled Everest over the years tofind the missing men and write thefinal chapter in their mysterious de-mise.

The tale of these two climbershas long fired the imagination ofTom Holzel, an Everest historian,climber and American businessman.He’s the man behind the latestexpedition, which is supposed tohead out in December.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

falo Springfield’s For What It’s Worth. Itwas written by Stephen Stills, who wenton to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fame,and then went on to become old and fat,like most of the other citizens of Wood-stock Nation.

But, as my grandma used to say, if youhang around long enough, history will repeat itself,like beans for dinner.

My grandma may have been a bit rude, but she wasright. There’s a new protest movement in town. It’s

called Occupy Wall Street,and if the youth of todayweren’t so prejudicedabout classic rock, Steve’ssong would fit right in:There is somethin’happening here … andwhat it is ain’t exactlyclear. And that’s putting itmildly.

Occupy Wall Streetstarted small in a parknear the New York Finan-cial District when 100 peo-ple were arrested for beingobnoxious on or aboutSept. 24, and has growndaily, spreading to othercities in the U.S., Europeand Japan and, of course,Canada, which never

wants to be left out.Occupy Wall Street Nation, spawned by the children

of the boomer citizens of Woodstock Nation, is an eeri-ly accurate echo of the original. Stylish, young, techno-logically hip protesters drape themselves over iconicreal estate uttering incoherent slogans.

Back then it was “Smash the state” and “Hell, no, wewon’t go” and “One, two, three, four — what are wefightin’ for?” etc. Today it’s “Honk if you’re in debt,”“Tax the rich,” “99 per cent” (as in, 99 per cent arepoor; one per cent are rich) and “Compassion is evolu-tionary”… whatever that means. Slogans and stylin’are more important than policy, which is, after all,complex, boring and contentious. Ee-yew.

Like Woodstock Nation, Occupy Wall Street Nationis a shambolic coalition of leftist ideologues, all-over-the-map “anarchists,” actual poor people struggling tomake ends meet, and students who naturally supportany movement featuring free smoke, free pizza and achance to meet beautiful people with bells on theirtoes and rings in their noses.

There’s still part of me that wants to stick it to theMan, just like I did back in 1970. Until I remember thatI am the Man, man, which is a bummer. When did I getto be the Man? When I got a job? Grew up? Had a fami-ly? All of the above?

How about that? Four decades later, and it still ain’texactly clear … for what it’s worth.

launches on October 17th!

George Clooney’s new film,Ides of March, takes whatsome might call a cynicallook at the state of Ameri-can politics, but thatdoesn’t mean the directorand star — ever the opti-mist — has given up on thesystem all together.

“I think it’s cyclical,” hesays. “I think we’re at a pe-riod of time where it’s prob-ably not our best momentin politics, but if you look atthe things Jefferson andAdams did to each other,the 1800 election was pret-ty rotten and evil. Thingschange and are cyclical, soI’m hopeful.”

The film, based on BeauWillimon’s play FarragutNorth, follows an idealisticyoung campaign worker

(Ryan Gosling) whose workfor a charismatic candidate(Clooney) during the Demo-cratic primary opens hiseyes to the underbelly ofpolitics.

But as much as cam-paign signs and Beltway jar-gon make up the scenery ofIdes of March, Clooneywants to make clear thatthis is not a political film —at least not the way he seesit.

“I thought of this as afilm about moral choices,not about political strife,”he says. “I thought it was afun moral tale, and onceyou put it in politics it sortof amps up the problems.There isn’t a person youhave met that hasn’t beenmet with moral questions.Everyone makes moralchoices to better them-selves and hurt othersalong the way, whether the

means justifies the ends.” In fact, he maintains, the

political setting is actuallyincredibly incidental — es-pecially considering cur-rent events. “It could havebeen better in Wall Street,”he offers.

With acclaimed filmslike Confessions of a Dan-gerous Mind and GoodNight and Good Luck on hisresumé, Clooney is provingjust as adept as a director ashe is as an actor.

So how different is theClooney behind the camerato the one audiences know?Not very.

“He’s pretty much thesame guy as GeorgeClooney the actor,” hejokes. “Basically the sameheight, same hair. Prettymuch the same.”

As for his on-camerawork for the film, surelyClooney used some real-life

models in portraying a top-ranking politico, right? Notso much, he insists.

“No, there reallyweren’t” any existing pub-lic figures used for this ba-sis of his character, Clooneysays. “There’s just so manyways to get in trouble withthis answer. There wereenough examples that wejust picked little pieces ofwhatever we wanted.”

But he maintains thatviewers going out lookingfor those real-world corol-laries are wasting theirtime. “People think it’sabout the John Edwardsthing, but this was writtenbefore the John Edwardsthing even broke,” Clooneyoffers as an example.

It’s all part of the percep-tion problem people havewith movies — especiallypolitical movies — andtheir place in culture,

Clooney explains. “Films don’t lead the

way. In general it takesabout two years to get afilm made,” he says.

“People think that filmssomehow are trying to leadsociety. Mostly we’re re-flecting the moods andthoughts that are going onin our country and aroundthe world. If this film re-flects some of the cynicismthat we’ve seen in recenttimes, that’s probably good.It’s not a bad thing to hold amirror up and look at someof the things we’re doing.It’s not a bad thing to lookat how we elect our offi-cials.”

Clooney waxes politicalIdes of March reflects cynicism of the times, says actor-turned-director That’s ‘probably good’

ORDINARY PEOPLE, EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES

If thepremise ofReal Steel

sounds famil-iar, it’s be-cause the lasttime you saw

it was in black and white,coming to you from theTwilight Zone.

“The Twilight Zoneepisode called Steel withLee Marvin, written byRichard Matheson, was inthe ’60s,” says Real Steeldirector Shawn Levy.

“It was about a robotboxing promoter, a guywho owns robots andfights them for money.From there we beefed itup.”

In its original run theanthology series mixedand matched science fic-tion, comedy, supernatu-

ral and occult stories usu-ally featuring ordinarypeople in extraordinarycircumstances.

Hosted by Rod Serling,it was must see TV with acatchy theme song, whichinfluenced thousands ofwriters and directors.

Three series and amovie have officiallyclaimed the TwilightZone name but dozens ofother films have been ei-ther directly — or indi-rectly — inspired by theshow.

Submitted for your ap-proval, here is a list ofmovies that owe a debt toone of the greatest televi-sion shows ever.

The 1996 KyleMacLachlan thriller TheTrigger Effect was a re-working of a classicepisode called The Mon-sters Are Due on MapleStreet, which shows theeffects of a power failureon a neighbourhood.

Named the best Twi-

light Zone episode byTime Magazine, the showis still shown in class-rooms to illustrate howlethal a mix intoleranceand panic can be.

The film pays tribute toits television roots byplacing its main charac-ters at the corner ofMaple and WilloughbyStreets, a reference to an-other famous episode, AStop at Willoughby.

The Cameron Diazmovie The Box was a re-make of Button, Button, astory from the series’1980 reinvention andChild’s Play, the moviewhich introduced themurderous doll Chuckyseems to have looked to a1963 episode called Liv-ing Doll for inspiration.

Two towering artists ofmodern horror can countthe Twilight Zone as semi-nal to their work.

The show perfected theuse of the twist ending,which M. Night Shya-

malan would later incor-porate into his work.

His most famous film,The Sixth Sense hasechoes of Occurrence atOwl Creek Bridge, a 1964episode about a man whois revealed to be dead.

In Danse MacabreStephen King called theshow “damn near immor-tal” and it’s been hintedthat his novel Christine(later made into a movie)was inspired by the dri-verless car episode AThing about Machines.

As Feist celebrated her35th birthday earlier thisyear with an intimate din-ner among friends, shewas momentarily distract-ed by the intense flicker-ing of a television in anearby room.

The images werebizarre — motorbikes on astage accompanied by py-rotechnics and music.Whatever it was seemedoutlandish and jarring.What, she wondered,could be the spectacle?

It wasn’t until she gotcloser to the televisionthat the frenetic, choreo-graphed commotion madesense. It was the telecast ofthe Grammy Awards. Onlythree years earlier, she was

part of that scene, per-forming 1234, the songthat would make the for-mer indie artist a globalsensation — in a differentout-of-context perform-ance. Now, watching theawards, the images shesaw confirmed how surre-al that experience hadbeen — and how she justdoesn’t fit into that poppy,musical world.

“The Grammys, and themagnitude of that spot-light, it wasn’t a placewhere I felt at home. Likewhat I do doesn't reallyhappen there,” Feist saidduring a recent interviewas she sat on a quiet patioat her downtown Manhat-tan hotel. “It’s such a po-

tent and brief moment,and it doesn’t really speakto the truth of what tour-ing and being a musicianis. It’s mostly fanfare, in-

flated and very intense. Iwasn’t feeling very com-fortable in that kind of set-ting.”

Now that Feist is releas-

ing Metals, the follow-upto her breakthrough, her-alded 2007 album, The Re-minder, she’s back in hercomfort zone. Her fourth

album has a darker tone,but still has that other-worldly, mystical qualitythat has made her one ofmusic’s more original voic-es.

“It’s just heading into amuch more personal andbold and more uncompro-mising direction, takingall kinds of risks, which Irespect,” says her longtimecollaborator Chilly Gonza-les, one of the album’s pro-ducers and songwriters. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The countdown is over Withnew album Metals, Feist carves outa very different voice from 1234

How do you make the 12thseason of a reality showfeel fresh? By bringing insome fresh judges.

Season 12 of The BiggestLoser airing on Citytv, andstepping in where JillianMichaels left her sneakersare tennis superstar AnnaKournikova and personaltrainer Dolvett Quince. ForKournikova, the opportu-nity to coach instead of becoached was one she

didn’t want to miss out on.“I was the one that went

after this opportunity,” theformer No. 8 player in theworld says. “I’ve used mybody as a tool my wholelife on a tennis court. In-stead of listening to all theinformation that wasthrown at me, (I’m now)voicing it to the contest-ants and sharing it withthem.”

The tough-girl trainingstyle of former coach Jil-lian Michaels was a hitwith viewers, butKournikova isn’t stressedabout taking over.

“I didn’t feel any pres-sure,” she says. “I didn'tfeel like I was replacinganyone or trying to fill in

anybody’s shoes. We allhave our own styles. I’mnot trying to prove myselfby any means. I’m just

there to do my part of thejob, which is train and ed-ucate the contestantsabout (a) healthy lifestyle.”

For those viewers waryabout Kournikova — abuxom blonde who hasn’tfound much recent successon the court — taking thereins, she’s eager to set therecord straight.

“Listen, I get criticizedand judged all the time,”she says. “But to be a top10 tennis player in theworld, I must have beendoing something right.And I came from SovietUnion from really nothing.That’s how I tell the con-testants I can relate tothem. I know what it’s liketo be judged and criticized,whether it’s because ofyour weight or how youlook. People have all thesepreconceived notions andI’m OK with that. The onlything I can control is I canwork hard (and) be thebest human being I can.”

This season, contestantswill face off in a Battle ofthe Ages competition,with Kournikova coachingthe over-50 crowd.

“Obviously the oldergroup is the most difficultfor me because they haveless energy. They’re muchmore set in their own wayso it’s a lot more difficultto change someone’s men-tality who’s in their 50s or60s.

Regardless of the chal-lenges, she says she got re-ally invested in eachcontestant’s personalgrowth.

“You literally becomefamily with these people,”she says.

When my four-year-old-daughter Riley and I ar-rived at the Disney Dream’shome port in Port Canaver-al, Fla., we knew we werein for the vacation of a life-time. In fact, Riley was con-vinced we were setting sailfor Never Land!

In reality, we wereboarding the newest vesselin the Disney Cruise linecollection and setting sailfor a two-day adventure toDisney’s private island inthe Bahamas; CastawayCay.

The Disney Dream is thethird ship in the DisneyCruise Line fleet.

Once aboard, we under-stood quickly why theynamed this classic oceanliner the Disney Dream.The name says it all: abreathtaking Grand Atri-um, elegance and luxuryon each deck, silhouettedby Disney character detailat every turn. The state-rooms, waterslides, restau-rants, kids clubs and stageshows were classic Disneyimagineering. We stayedin a spacious, DeluxeOceanview Stateroom withveranda. Roomy enough tosleep four, this stateroomboasted a queen-size bedwith below-bed storage,convertible sofa, split bathand private balcony.

Cruising is all aboutgreat food and we dinedlike Disney Princesses, asRiley would say.

The rotational dining ap-

proach allowed us to enjoya different restaurant everynight. The restaurants arethemed — which Rileyloved. The Enchanted Gar-den boasts a garden-in-spired decor with a menuthat allows you to selectchoices from around the

world including Riley’sfavourite fish, pan-searedsea bass.

The Animator’s Palate,the main dining room, waslike being inside a Disneyanimation studio. Thewalls were adorned withtools of the trade, the inte-rior magically transformedinto a live under-sea, inter-active adventure withCrush the Turtle from Find-ing Nemo. And Crush gotpersonal, dude. He wouldswim from tank to tankasking questions of the din-ers that generated somegnarly laughs. There werealso many casual dining op-tions on board.

Riley and I have somany Disney Dream mem-ories including the spec-tacular Pirates of theCaribbean Show, a pirate-themed deck party that in-cluded pre-show gameshosted by swashbucklingscallywags. The pirateshow was so realistic thatRiley was convinced wehad entered Never Landand were captured by Cap-tain Hook. Following theshow, Buccaneer Blast, amusically synced fire-works show lit up thenight sky. Another of Ri-ley’s favourite memories?The Oceaneer’s Club, anactivity centre for kids

aged three to 10. This su-pervised play centre ishome to Disney-style imag-inative worlds. And whilethe little buccaneers are atplay, there is a lot to do forthe adults. The District isan adults-only entertain-ment area, complete withlounges and nightclubs.

Riley and I landed backhome with a trunkful ofmemories. My most cher-ished? My little girl cud-dling up to me midship inan oversized golden throneon our final day and whis-pering that her favouritepart of this magical journeywas spending time withme.

Which came first, the cup-cake or the macaron? Ordid pie beat them in therace to be the trendy treatof the moment?

Maybe it doesn’t matter.Because the hot sweet‘now’ is the whoopie pie:Delicious oversized cake-like cookies sandwiching afluffy, sugary filling.

While chocolate cookieswith vanilla frosting aretraditional, whoopie piescome in just as many wildflavour combinations ascupcakes, macarons andpies.

For a fall whoopie pie,

there’s no better place tolook than to threefavourite cold-weatherflavours — gingerbread,pumpkin and pecan pie.Gingerbread lends itselfperfectly to the shell of awhoopie pie. It is, after all,still cake.

And pumpkin marriesso beautifully with thespices of gingerbread thatit couldn’t be left out.

But for the filling, youwant to get away from tra-ditional fluffy vanilla frost-ing. So this recipe opts fora praline cream cheese fill-ing and edges rolled in

toasted chopped pecansfor a treat that’s reminis-cent of a creamy pecanpie.

Preparation:

1 Heat your oven to 180 C(350 F). Line 2 large bak-ing sheets withparchment paper.

2 In a medium bowl, siftthe flour, bakingpowder, baking soda,salt, cinnamon, groundginger, cloves andallspice. Set aside.

3 In the bowl of anelectric mixer, beat but-ter, oil, brown sugar,molasses and vanilla.Add orange zest,candied ginger andeggs, beat to combine.Beat in pumpkin puree.Stir in flour mixture untilit is thoroughly mixed.

4 Drop the dough inmounds (50 ml/1/4 cupfor large or 30 ml/2 tbspfor small) onto the pre-pared baking sheets,leaving several centime-tres/inches betweeneach one for spreading.You should be able tomake 20 or 40 cakes, de-pending on whetheryou want small or largewhoopie pies. Bake thepies for 15 to 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Cakes• 550 ml (2 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour• 5 ml (1 tsp) bakingpowder• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) baking soda• 5 ml (1 tsp) salt• 5 ml (1 tsp) cinnamon• 10 ml (2 tsp) ground gin-ger• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) groundcloves• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground all-spice• 125 ml (1/2 cup or 1 stick)unsalted butter, room tem-perature• 125 ml (1/2 cup)vegetable oil• 500 ml (2 cups) packed

dark brown sugar• 45 ml (3 tbsp) molasses• 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract• Zest of 1 orange• 30 ml (2 tbsp) minced can-died ginger• 2 eggs• 1 can (398 ml/14 oz)pumpkin puree

Many of us have had dayswhen 5 p.m. rolls aroundand we have little to showfor it.

In his new book, 18Minutes: Find Your Focus,Master Distraction, andGet the Right Things Done,management consultantPeter Bregman teachesthat it’s not about tacklingeverything on our plate —it’s about choosing what toput our energy into.

“We love to procrasti-nate, and distraction isthe golden ring of pro-crastination because wethink we are gettingthings done,” he says.

“We are answering 40emails and we think wehave been incredibly pro-ductive until we stop andsay, ‘Did I really need toanswer all of thoseemails?’ In a world thatwill take what it can fromus, we need to be morestrategic than ever aboutwhat we want to give it.”

His 18-minute plan canhelp you figure out how tobest manage your workday.

Take five minutes in themorning: “The five minutes in themorning is to get centredand ask yourself, ‘What isit that I most want to ac-complish today?’ I trans-fer those things onto mycalendar.

There is a tremendousamount of evidence thatpoints to the fact that if youdecide when and whereyou are going to do some-thing, you’ll do it. If youjust say, ‘I am going to do itsometime today,’ you won’tend up doing it. So there Iam really deciding what Iwant to get done and whereI am going to do it.”

Take one minute every hour: “Every hour I stop for one

minute and ask myself twoquestions: ‘Am I spendingmy time in the right wayright now?’ And: ‘Am I be-ing who I most want to beright now?’

“Those two questionsend up being this fantasticproductive interruption.Those questions will bring

me back to ‘What is that Iam trying to accomplishfor the day?’”

Take five minutes at the endof the day: “At the end of the day Ispend five minutes andask myself, ‘What did Ilearn from today? What

worked, what didn’twork?’

“Then also, who I wantto ask a question to, who Iwant to update, who Iwant to thank for some-thing they did to me. Ithink of these as my learn-ing minutes and my grati-tude minutes.”

In his new book, author Peter Bregman explains howto avoid the ‘golden ring of procrastination,’ find yourfocus and get things done — in only 18 minutes a day

I graduated from the Uni-versity of Lethbridge witha BSc in computer science.The IT job market is a dog-eat-dog world and I alwaysknew that a simple BSc de-gree would not be enoughto get my foot in the door,which is why I decided toenhance my degree withco-op experience.

A university educationteaches you theory, where-as a co-op lets you applythose theories to the realworld. I contacted the U ofL career centre, researchedpotential employers andapplied to the positionsthat appealed to me.

I completed a 12-monthco-op work term with theGovernment of Alberta asa project assistant for theMinistry of Employment

and Immigration.Throughout my work

term, I was pleasantly sur-prised with the challeng-ing work and the level ofresponsibility I was given.My colleagues valued thework I did and my supervi-sor always encouraged meto take advantage of anylearning opportunities.

This co-op experienceadded significant value tomy university studies andgave me a head start in mycareer. A co-op work-termoften serves as a “testdrive” for both employersand students to evaluate ifthey’re suitable for employ-ment upon graduation.

My advice to fellow stu-dents and recent graduatesis to look for a positionthat offers you an opportu-nity for learning and ad-vancement. Research theemployer so you are ableto articulate what you canbring to the table and

what you hope to achievefrom the experience.

My advice to schoolsand career centres is to in-crease awareness of co-op.

Where I am now

During my last semester, Ireceived a job offer from amajor energy company asan IT analyst.

But that was not mydream job. Ever since myco-op work term with theGovernment of Alberta,I’ve wanted to work in thepublic sector. So when theMinistry of Employmentand Immigration office of-fered me a position as abusiness analyst a year lat-er, I seized the opportuni-ty.

What I learned

Research employers tofind out which ones offerwhat you’re looking for,whether it’s training, men-torship, lots of responsibil-ity — or all of the above.Test drive employers dur-ing co-op terms and intern-ships to see if you like them(and if they like you).Try to work in a variety of industries and organiza-tions to find out what kindof work you enjoy doing.

theory on employmentcontracts. That is, employ-ers often bargain for exces-sive protection, no matterhow junior or administra-tive the employee. Howev-er, in seeking suchprotection, they some-times get none at all.

In 1992, Tom Masonsigned an employmentcontract with his employerChem-Trend Ltd., whichcontained a non-competeclause preventing himfrom dealing with its cus-tomers for one year afterhe left the company.

Mason did not hearabout the contract againuntil 17 years later whenhe was suddenly fired.

When Mason learnedthat companies were hesi-tant to offer him jobs, fear-ful they could be sued dueto his non-compete clause,he went to court to askthat it be declared invalid.

An Ontario judge con-cluded that the clause wasclear and that Mason wasbound by what he signed.

Employers collectively

sighed in relief since mostcourt cases strike downthese clauses based on thecourts’ interpretation ofwhat is fair, and not whatthe contract actually states.

Mason appealed andthat is exactly what theOntario Court of Appealfound. Chem-Trend’s con-tract was drafted in a man-ner that was unfair toMason and consequently,it was invalid.

Similarly, the AlbertaCourt of Appeal recentlyrefused to enforce the non-compete clauses in the em-

ployment contracts ofthree traders at the foreignexchange firm Globex.

What is importantabout this case is not thefact that the contractswere struck down but theCourt’s ruling that an em-ployee who is wrongfullydismissed should be re-lieved from complyingwith post-employment re-strictions, such as a non-compete or non-solicitclause regardless of howthey are drafted.DANIEL LUBLIN IS AN EMPLOYMENTLAWYER WITH WHITTEN & LUBLIN LLP.

On the sec-ond day ofthe 2011NHL draft,Bryan Mur-ray drewsome guf-faws from

the draft table floor. TheSenators GM had just trad-ed his third-round selec-tion to Columbus for theenigmatic Nikita Filatov, aonce highly touted Russ-ian prospect who had fall-

en from grace and whomany thought was boundto play this season in theKHL.

The question is, willMurray have the lastlaugh?

For his part, the 21-year-old Filatov is elated to bein Ottawa knowing this isa good opportunity — andpossibly his last — to shinein the NHL. The sixth over-all pick in 2004, Filatovhas had a checkered startto his professional career.He has only appeared in 44NHL games, netting amere six goals, three ofwhich came in one game.He had a rocky relation-

ship with former BlueJackets’ coach Ken Hitch-cock, who felt the young-ster lacked commitmentto team defence, and Fila-tov spent a good chunk oflast season in the Ameri-can Hockey League.

So, as the 2011-12 sea-son is about to launch,why should Sens fansthink anything will be dif-ferent in Ottawa? It mightnot, but in the bigger pic-ture, this is a move thatcomes with very little risk.

Filatov is in the finalyear of a two-way contractthat pays him nearly $2.2million at the NHL leveland $65,000 if he’s sent to

the minors. If he can ap-proach the level of playthat made him such ahighly regarded pick — 20goals and 45 points over afull season would be re-spectable — Murray willbe anointed a genius. Atworst, Ottawa discarded athird-round pick in a draftwhere the club had accu-mulated a league-high 12selections.

In pre-season, Filatovhad mixed results. He dis-played great hands and vi-sion, picked up threeassists and showed he iselusive in traffic and canstickhandle his way out ofa phone booth. On the

downside, he failed toscore, something he’llhave to do with regularityto help an offence-chal-lenged club and be viewedas a valued contributor.

We know he has thetools. He was the No. 1-ranked European junior in2008 and was selectedahead of talents Tyler My-ers, Jordan Eberle, TylerEnnis and the Senators’Erik Karlsson.

As it stands, Filatov willopen the season on the leftor right side of Jason Spez-za. Regardless, he’ll be in aposition to succeed. Sensfans and the organizationhope he’ll seize it.

This is what Adrian Beltreenvisioned when he signedwith Texas in the off-sea-son. Balls jumping off hisbat in October, the Rangersmaking another run for thepennant.

Beltre hit three straighthome runs and the defend-ing AL champions ad-vanced again, beating theTampa Bay Rays 4-3 inGame 4 yesterday to wintheir playoff matchup.

Beltre put on a showthat few others havematched, helping Texastake the best-of-five seriesand ending the Rays' re-markable run to the wild-card spot. Tampa Bayovercame a nine-gamedeficit against the BostonRed Sox in the wild-cardstandings in September.

“From my point of view,Texas gave me the bestchance to put a ring on myfinger,” Beltre said. “And Iam just two steps awayfrom it. Hopefully that hap-pens.”

Ian Kinsler led off the

game for Texas by homer-ing on the second pitchfrom rookie Jeremy Hel-lickson.

Beltre came into thegame in a 1-for-11 slumpbefore breaking loose formaybe his best day as a pro.

“I think besides my firstbig league hit, this is rightup there,” said the slugger,who spent last season withthe Red Sox.

Beltre became just theseventh player to homerthree times in a post-seasongame, and the first sinceAdam Kennedy of the An-

gels in 2002.Beltre connected in his

first three at-bats. Given achance to tie the big-leaguerecord of four homers in a

game, he hit a routine fly-out in the eighth.

Neftali Feliz gave up arun in the ninth inning be-

fore closing for his thirdsave of the series, preserv-ing the victory for MattHarrison.

Beltre hit solo shots offHellickson in the secondand fourth innings, andadded another solo driveagainst Matt Moore in theseventh.

Sean Rodriguez scoredall three runs for the Rays.He drew a one-out walkand scored on Casey Kotch-man's single in the ninth,but Feliz retired the nexttwo batters.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHEELBASE MEDIA

The new Yaris might have less of a wow factor than cars such as the new Hyundai Accent, but the Yaris’s style is practically without flaw.

Others have developed more modern powertrains, however, which seems out of step for Toyota, which is normally seen as the natural leader.

It used to be that picking asmall car was pretty easy:there just weren’t thatmany candidates, plainand simple.

Now it’s like trying topick a puppy from thepound.

There are plenty of cutechoices with all kinds ofbark and sass, and more

keep arriving every day itseems.

In that respect, the Yariswas more of an old dogthan a young pup, but theupgrades for the 2012model year at least keep itfresh enough to belongwith newcomers such asthe Mazda2, Hyundai Ac-cent, Chevy Sonic and FordFiesta.

The first-generationYaris that lasted for fivemodel years wasn’t the

liveliest runner on thetrack, but a roomy interiorand low price kept it onthe front burner. As well,the tiny Toyota could be

had in two or four-doorhatchback body styles, aswell as a four-door sedan.

There’s no word if atrunk-equipped Yaris will

again be built, but bothhatches return in slightlyenlarged formats.

The upgraded, crisper-looking Yaris will remainamong the more popularsmall-car picks, even asthe entire category addsvariety at a steady clip.

Indeed the pound is get-ting bigger and the newpups are getting every-one’s attention, but atleast the Yaris now hasenough bark to be noticed.

Toyota’s old dog still barks

A3 has a mainly-satisfied owner community2006 to 2011 Audi A3SECOND

GEAR

JUSTIN [email protected]

Audi’s entry-level model,the A3, is a five-doorhatchback with four- orsix-cylinder power, avail-able Quattro AWD and allthe flexibility andfunctionality of an upscaleGerman mini-wagon.

The A3 has beennicknamed the BeverlyHills GTI in some circles,referencing itsVolkswagen-based under-pinnings and engines.

Feature content includ-ed upgraded audio, heatedleather, navigation,folding rear seats, apanoramic sunroof andplenty more.

EngineLook for VW Group’stwo-litre turbo four-cylin-der with 200 horsepower, or a 3.2-litre V-6 with 250. Quattro wasstandard with the six-cylinder en-gine and available on four-cylinderunits later in the A3’s life.

Common issuesHard, inconsistent or “slop-py” shifting from theDirect Shift Gearbox (DSG)may be caused by a faultycomputer control or“mechatronics” unit,which controls thisadvanced transmission.Long-term reliability of theDSG gearbox is currentlyunclear. If you’re happydriving a manual, stick toyour guns.

Note that sporadic accel-eration or a “lumpy” feel tothe engine’s power deliverycould be related to faulty orfailing ignition coils.

VerdictThere are more affordableand reliable ways to getaround than the A3 —though a largely satisfiedowner community suggeststhat the potential issues arefar outweighed by therewarding year-round driv-ing experience and luxury.

What owners likeExisting A3 owners typical-ly rave about styling, buildquality, comfort levels, all-season trac-tion and even fuel efficiency on mod-els with the four-cylinder engine.Good ride and handling characteristicsround out the package.

What owners dislikeOwners say the A3 won’t provethe most comfortable way to haularound four or five adults, and the centreconsole chews nicely into the driver’s right-side knee space. Owners of earlier modelstypically wished for Bluetooth compatibility,and many report “weak” factory tires.
