In the most-watched Alber-ta race, Edmonton-Strath-cona incumbent LindaDuncan kept her grip onthe sole NDP seat againstTory Ryan Hastman.
Political scientist Dr.Chaldeans Mensah creditedher win to netting the anti-Harper vote.
“Again we saw how effec-tive Linda Duncan is in herability to organize a grass-roots following and get hermessage out,” said theGrant MacEwan politicalscience chair.
The Opposition upset is
good news for Alberta over-all, said Mensah.
“We saw a realignmentof Conservatives on oneside and a strong Opposi-tion of the NDP on the oth-er — it will make for anentertaining House of Com-mons.”
Other projected closeraces included EdmontonCentre MP Laurie Hawn,who won by a wide marginover Liberal Mary MacDon-ald and NDP Lewis Cardi-nal. In Sherwood Park Indieconservative James Fordtook on Conservative Tim
Uppal, but lost to his long-time rival.
It was predictably allblue skies elsewhere.
Peter Goldring provedEdmonton East voters aretrue blue, despite that rid-ing being the first orangeseat ever.
Also keeping seats wereEdmonton-St. Albert’s BrentRathgeber, Edmonton-MillWoods-Beaumont’s MikeLake, Edmonton-SpruceGrove’s four-time MP RonaAmbrose and Edmonton-Leduc’s James Rajotte.

City testing outnew road paintThe City of Edmonton istesting a different kind ofroad paint in hopes offinding an alternative torepainting several areascome each spring.
Dave Sawatski, supervi-sor of special projects andpavement markings, saysthat the paint is beingtested for several factors,mainly if it will hold upbetter against our harshwinters.
Edmonton commuterSteven Hodges is in favourof a longer-lasting paint.
“I will support whatev-
er allows drivers to seethe road easier,” Hodgessaid. “It’s unsafe when

Stephen Harper has sealedhis place in the historybooks, winning a Conserva-tive majority to ensure fouruninterrupted years of pow-er and a seat in the Torypantheon.
Aided by an ascendantNDP that helped split thevote, Harper won his firstmajority after two succes-sive minority governmentsthat many pundits and poll-sters wrongly believedmarked a glass ceiling forthe former Reform party
founder. Harper also deliv-ered a historic defeat toMichael Ignatieff’s Liber-als, who fell to third placein the seat standings be-hind the NDP.
The Liberal leader didn’timmediately offer his resig-nation. Rather, Ignatieff —who lost his own seat —placed his fate in the handsof party faithful, who are di-vided over what shouldhappen next.
The NDP rode a mid-cam-paign surge of support to anorange revolution of sorts,becoming Canada’s officialOpposition for the firsttime. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Research In Motion may bewaiting too long to debutits new generation of Black-Berrys early next year inthe competitive smart-phone market, analysts say.
“The BlackBerry phonesneed a fresh start now,”Sascha Segan, PC Maga-zine’s lead mobility analyst,said yesterday from theBlackBerry World Confer-ence in Orlando, Fla. “With-out a major change to theirsoftware, they’re not goingto attract new developersand consumers.”
The Canadian smart-phone maker announcedtwo new BlackBerry Boldmodels with an upgradedoperating system and somesoftware applications at itsannual conference.
However, it’s not whatanalysts believe is critical toRIM’s future. In early 2012,RIM will launch a line ofBlackBerry “super phones”
with the same operatingsystem as its new PlayBooktablet. The QNX system isexpected to give users a bet-ter web experience and al-low them to run multiplesoftware applications.
RIM has seen its marketposition decline, especiallyin North America.
Technology analyst AnilDoradla of U.S.-basedWilliam Blair & Co. says themarket and trends couldvery well change by thetime RIM launches its newsmartphones, and RIM willhave to make good on itspromises for the QNX-basedBlackBerrys.
“From an investor’spoint of view, it will be acredibility issue,” he said.THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK. Governmentsworldwide aredeveloping new tools tocensor reporters as themedia increasinglymoves online, the Com-mittee to Protect Journal-ists said yesterday.
In a report released onthe eve of today’s WorldPress Freedom Day, thecommittee said 69 jour-nalists whose workappears mostly onlinewere jailed as of Dec. 1,representing almost halfof all reportersimprisoned worldwide.
The press advocacygroup said thesophisticated censorshiptechniques are often cou-pled with physical intimi-dation of onlinejournalists.
“These sophisticated,often invisible, attacksconstitute a new front inthe fight for pressfreedom,” said DannyO’Brien, CPJ Internet Ad-vocacy Co-ordinator andthe report’s author.
O’Brien said the tech-niques go well beyondweb censorship, withgovernments using theInternet to spy on writersand sabotage independ-ent news sites. “The aimis not only to censor butto block or disrupt the re-porting process and thedissemination of newsand information,” hesaid. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Treasure troveunearthed in backyard A trove of medieval jewelry and otherprecious objects found by a man work-ing in his backyard includes piecesmade for a royal court and may beworth as much as $142,000, Austriangovernment experts said yesterday.
The officials from Austria’s depart-ment of national antiquities and theAcademy of Sciences said they wereonly at the beginning of their investi-gation into the provenance and other
details of the find.“We have in front of us high-end
products (made) for the highestconsumer class of central Europe” ofthe Middle Ages, academy memberThomas Kuehtreiber told reporters assecurity guards revealed some of therarer pieces.
The Federal Office for Memorialssaid the trove consists of more than200 rings, brooches, ornate belt buck-les, gold-plated silver plates and otherpieces or fragments, many encrustedwith pearls, fossilized coral and otherornaments. It says the objects areabout 650 years old. The location ofthe find lies on an important medievaltrading route that ran between Polandand Italy, officials said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRYING TOCATCH UP FOR LOST TIME
We all have bad habits:Smoking, nail biting,littering. For me, procrastina-tion is one particular vicethat I would like to give upfor good — if I could just get
around to it.They say don’t do tomorrow what you
can do today. And I try, I really do. Irepeat this mantra over and over again,but I always wind up pushing those nag-ging tasks to the back of my mind untilit’s too late. When faced with an unwant-
ed chore I’m too willing to delegate the task to FutureJessica.
I thought that once I had pulled my final all-nighterand left my student lifestyle behind I would stop cram-ming for exams and grow out of my counterproductivetendencies. And yet here I am, years later and I’m stillleaving things to the last minute.
There are tons of tasks — both big and small — that Iavoid day in and out. Fromscrubbing out the dirt inbetween the keys on myMacBook to changing thelight bulb that burnt out in2009, there is no chore Iwon’t ignore. I havebecome a certified hesita-tor, an expert dawdler.
Why do so many of usspend our time avoidingthe inevitable?
There are plenty ofexcuses; perhaps you“work best under pressure”or are easily distracted orthere just aren’t enoughhours in the day. But Ithink we all realize that, ul-timately, procrastination is-n’t really about timemanagement at all.
The desire to postponethose less than excitingtasks doesn’t come down toscheduling; it’s all aboutchoice, and maybe a little
anxiety. I didn’t file my tax return at 8 p.m. on April 30because I didn’t have time; it was because I really, reallydidn’t want to do it.
Knowing you should do something and putting it offregardless is a psychological problem, not an organiza-tional one.
Starting the job, whether it’s an unruly pile oflaundry or a long list of emails that need replies, isalways the hardest part. The key is to reframe thesetasks in your mind — don’t focus on the hard work asso-ciated with studying for a test but the satisfaction youwill get from finishing it.
When we take the time (pun intended) to rethink ourreasons for delaying and dilly-dallying then we might ac-tually figure out how to move past this bad little habit ...eventually.

“I’m just like everyoneelse,” says Eva Mendes. “Ido not enjoy going to thegym, but I do it because Ihave to do it for my mind,for my body, for my soul,and for my career.”
And that fitness is not onher list of fun things to domakes the actress a relat-able spokesperson forReebok EasyTone, the ath-letic-wear brand’s line oftoning apparel and shoes.
“What I like about Easy-Tone is that they help mefit more exercise in whenI’m running around,”Mendes explains in a recentinterview with Metro.
“Easy” may be part of theReebok toning technologyname, but don’t make themistake of thinking this isclothing that works hardFOR you. In fact, it’s apparelthat makes YOU work hard-er. Although the shoe lookslike a regular sneaker, theEasyTone shoe sole featuresan air chamber that com-presses as it hits pavement.It simulates the balance ballmovement, creating an im-balance that forces the
wearer to work a little hard-er as she walks.
“I love the idea of killingtwo birds with one stone.You’re already going to beout there running errands,running around with yourkids or your dog,” notesMendes, who says shewears hers to walk andhike. “So why not use ashoe that helps you out andtones you up a bit whileyou’re doing it?”
The clothing featureshigh-tech tension fabricbands at the shoulders, be-tween the shoulder blades,at the torso, and, in thepants, at the hamstrings, tocreate muscle resistance asthe wearer walks or runs.
“The thing I love aboutthe clothes is that they sup-port everything, give you anice shape, and remind youto maintain your posture,”says Mendes.

Maybe we’re all on ahealth teeter-totter. Whenwe do something healthy,we often follow it up withsomething unhealthy.
Call it normal humanbehaviour.
An intriguing new studyin Taiwan has shown thatpeople who have taken amultivitamin tend to re-ward themselves by in-dulging in unhealthybehaviour (such as party-ing).
In the study, 82 peoplewere divided into twogroups: those who weretold they were taking amultivitamin and thosewho weren’t. The vitaminsupplement group wasmore likely to take part inrisky behaviours such ascasual sex, sunbathing,wild parties, and excessivedrinking than the groupthat didn’t think theywere taking a multivita-min. Those who thoughtthey were taking a supple-ment also had a lower de-sire to exercise, to have ahealthy meal, or to go for a
long walk. “In general,” lead au-
thor Dr. Wen-Bin Chiou ofNational Sun Yat-Sen Uni-versity told Metro in anemail, “people may simul-
taneously seek to maintaingood physical health andto pursue the hedonic goalof leading a pleasurablelife. But after achieving os-tensible progress towardthe health goal by takingdietary supplements, theymay feel entitled to reducetheir efforts in this regardand pursue pleasurable ac-tivities.”
Taking a multivitaminseems to be connectedwith the notion of invul-nerability and indulgence.
The phenomenonworks in reverse as well.“On the other hand,’ he
notes, “engagement in ac-tivities that pose healthrisks tends to motivate in-dividuals to engage in actsthat will restore health.”An example of this is over-eating and then taking adiet pill.
Chiou warns that peo-ple who take vitamin sup-plements need to be awareof the vicious cycle of do-ing something they per-ceive as healthy followedby an act of self-indul-gence.
The study is to be pub-lished soon in the journalPsychological Science.
People taking multivitamins tend to reward themselves with hard partying, study shows

ly to it — is the ultimatetest of a relationship. Butknowing each other’s creditscore and history avoids un-pleasant surprises. Mostcouples want to buy a hometogether and will apply fora line of credit or joint cred-it cards. Before you do, it’simportant to know if thereare any financial skeletonslurking.
A couple I worked withon my television show,Maxed Out, had been to-gether two years when theyapplied for a mortgage. Uppopped a raft of delinquent,and unrevealed, loans onthe women’s credit report.They bought the house buthad to borrow from a high-er interest lender. Eventual-ly the financial stresscaused by the payments
felled their marriage. But Ialso think a corrosive senseof betrayal and guilt overthe undisclosed loans weak-ened the underpinnings oftheir marriage.
Examining your creditreport annually is a goodpractice in any case. Myhusband and I just discov-ered that our truck loan,paid off last year, stilllingers as unpaid.
The government re-quires the two major creditreporting agencies, Tran-
sUnion — www.tran-sunion.ca and Equifax —www.equifax.ca to providefree credit reports. Youhave to apply by mail. A fullcredit report, plus yourcredit score, score will costyou around $25 from eitheragency and you can applyon-line.
It may not seem very ro-mantic but a credit reportcheck-up is an importantstep for couples who wantto build a sound financialfoundation.

1Cash back rate is tiered: the rate earned on a Card purchase depends on the amount of your Card purchases over the year to-date. Cash back is awarded as a credit on December Card statements. 2To qualify for the Reward each year, you must have an open CIBC EverydayPlus Chequing Account for the 12-month qualifying anniversary period. During each such period, you must have at least one personal CIBC Savings Account open with a positive monthly average balance each month, and an open personal CIBC Credit Card account with at least $1,000 in total purchases. 3This is a combined bonus and regular annual rate paid when the account balance is $5,000 or more. The bonus and/or regular rates may change at any time without prior notice. How it works: The regular rate is calculated on the full daily closing balance (when balance is $5,000 or more). In addition, on days when the closing balance exceeds the closing balance on Jan. 31/11 (the difference between the two balances is a “New Balance”), the New Balance earns a bonus rate for that day. Bonus rate offer expires June 30/11. Interest is paid monthly. Other conditions apply, so ask in branch or see cibc.com for full terms and conditions. TMTrademark of CIBC.

I spent most of my timein the ICU’s waiting room
as I was not allowed to stickaround when the doctorswere in with my mom.
After a week straight ofbeing there, seeing thesame people day in, dayout, I met a family whoseson (Angelo) had been in aterrible car accident andwas in an induced coma.
Over the next month, Isaw them everyday and al-ways asked about their son,as they did my mother.
A few weeks later, mymom and Angelo were re-leased from the ICU andmoved to different wardsin the hospital.
One day, as I was leavingafter a visit with my moth-er, I ran into Angelo and hissister in the elevator, and
we finally met face to face. Soon after, Angelo and I
were bumping into eachother regularly around thehospital, and I started visit-ing him in his room.
When Angelo was re-leased from the hospital inJuly 2008, we exchangednumbers and began talkingon the phone.

In Nashville, it’s dubbedthe Predator Way: Workhard, scrap, defend at allcosts and score justenough timely goals towin.
Nashville certainly isn’tchanging its ways in theWestern Conference semi-finals.
“We’re OK with thehard stuff,” Nashvillecoach Barry Trotz said yes-terday after practice. “Ifanybody’s been around us
... we haven’t done any-thing easy ever. The hard-er it gets, it might soundsick, but we get reallygood when it gets hard.Great resiliency, and I ex-pect us to up our competelevel and conviction leveleven higher.”
The Predators evenedtheir series with Vancou-ver at 1-1 by pushing theCanucks into double over-time before winning 2-1Saturday night. Only three
goals have been scored inthe first two games, andthe Canucks are bracing
for more of the sametonight for Game 3.
These teams featuretwo of the three VezinaTrophy finalists; Canucksgoalie Roberto Luongoand Pekka Rinne ofNashville. Vancouver mayhave scored more goals inthe regular season thananyone in the NHL, butthe Canucks also held op-ponents to a league-fewest185 goals. Nashville wasthird, allowing 194.
Canucks coach Alain Vi-gneault said both teamsalso play very well with-out the puck.
“There’s not a lot ofroom. There’s not a lot oftime out there to makeplays, and (Rinne is) agood goaltender. You’vegot to give him credit. Ididn’t expect coming intothis these would be high-scoring games, and theyhaven’t been so far,” hesaid. THE CANADIAN PRESS
