Student group pushes city for e-cigarette ban

What started as a class assign-ment has prompted a group of University of Alberta students to urge Edmonton city coun-cilors to kick e-cigarettes to the curb.

Student Advocates for Pub-lic Health — made up of 11 grad students studying public health — are lobbying for the U of A and city to ban e-ciga-rettes from public places in Edmonton.

Stephanie McQuaid, one of the group’s founding members,

said the call to action started thanks to an advocacy class required as part of the public health graduate program.

“It’s an up-and-coming issue and people are really confused about what it is and what it does,” McQuaid said.

One of the group’s main concerns about e-cigarettes is how they can make smoking appear more socially accept-able, especially for children.

“There has been evidence that modelling contributes to a higher uptake of tobacco among youth and so we worry this will re-normalize smoking in society,” said group member Monica Chawla.

“I think people think they’re harmless and just water vapour and I think they overlook the effect that just the action of using them has,” she added.

As part of their mission to ban e-cigarettes, the group has planned meetings with

city councillors Wednesday in hopes it will be brought for-ward at the Nov. 19 city council meeting.

Last month, council ap-proved a move to ban smoking in Churchill Square. Since the city’s smoking bylaw has to be amended for that decision, the student group hopes council will approve the decision to ban e-cigarettes at the same time.

In June, Red Deer became one of the first cities in the country to ban e-cigarettes in places where smoking is al-ready banned.

Since then, York, Ont., has also banned the electronic de-vice.

Students at Edmonton’s public and Catholic schools aren’t permitted to smoke elec-tronic cigarettes on grounds after police discovered some were using the devices to smoke marijuana.

Hopeful drivers get in rideshare queue

Hopeful Uber drivers made their way to a downtown Ed-monton hotel Tuesday to regis-ter their names as potential chauffeurs for the taxi alterna-tive.

Over the weekend, the U.S-based company sent out de-tails to prospective drivers for a partner registration event in

the city.While the company hasn’t

confirmed when or what type of service it plans on launching in Edmonton, interested driv-ers like Abdurahman Hussien made sure their name was on Uber’s list.

“I’m very happy to come and start this work with Uber in the city,” said Hussien, who first heard of Uber from friends living in Dallas.

As a taxi driver for Capital, Hussien said the flexibility Uber offers its drivers is a big bonus.

“I hear it is 80 per cent for you of whatever you make and 20 per cent for Uber,” he said.

Hussien said the city could definitely benefit from a ride-

share business like Uber’s.“This is for sure good for

the public in Edmonton,” he said. “People won’t (have to) wait an hour for a cab.”

Edmonton Transit driver Amninder Mannshahia also planned on signing his name up for Uber registration Tues-day, calling the business an at-tractive opportunity for a min-imal investment.

“With Uber, we can do it as a part time (job),” said Mannshahia. “We have noth-ing to lose.”

The San Francisco-based company currently operates its UberX brand in three Can-adian cities — Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.

The more controversial

UberX allows for ordinary drivers who have been pre-screened to pick up passengers in their own cars.

Tax increase coming?

Less spending in upcoming budget: Mayor Playing catchup is what Edmontonians can expect for their tax dollars over the next four years, said the mayor on Tuesday.

The tight capital budget is about “renewing our existing infrastructure” by potentially going ahead with projects like the West-wood transit garage replace-ment and the northwest police campus, which made it onto the top-29 project list compiled by administra-tion.

“You’re seeing slower spending on an annual basis from the previous couple of budget cycles since funding is a little more constrained. That creates a huge challenge for us since the city is growing even faster for us than it was in previous budget cycles,” said Mayor Don Iveson.

Administration is cur-rently recommending a 5.3 per cent tax increase for Ed-montonians, as presented to council on Tuesday. Of that tax increase, 1.5 per cent is dedicated to neighbourhood renewal, something the mayor says has been an ask of Edmon-tonians.

“People tell us to fix the roads and lower the taxes, but I can’t do both,” he said, adding neighbourhood renewal will revive some neighbourhoods by ensur-ing dollars are put aside for exactly that until 2018.

“I can kick that can down to the next mayor and council very easily, but having had that done to me, I don’t want to do that to the next group of people.” STEPHANIE DUBOIS/METRO

Job fare

The registration will run Wednesday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Courtyard Marriott downtown.

• Earlier this year, Mayor Don Iveson called for a report on Uber.

• Uber is operated in more than 200 cities around the world.

Scores of home-schooling fam-ilies scattered across Alberta have been left in the lurch after a private academy that funneled provincial funding to them filed for bankruptcy last month.

Records obtained by Metro indicate Calgary’s Green Learn-ing Foundation faces a roughly $106,000 funding shortfall.

The academy’s building has been vacated and roughly 53 students learning inside have largely registered with other public and private authorities, the province said.

The bankruptcy filing, how-ever, also lists dozens of fam-ilies that remain without any-where from hundreds to many thousands of dollars they rely

on to educate their children from home.

Provincial legislation re-quires all home-schoolers to be supervised by a school author-ity — be it public or private — and those entities provide families with the province’s an-nual $822 allotment per home schooled child.

Stony Plain mom Sue Boy-chuk said after nine years of home-schooling her daughter she was shocked to learn her family was out-of-pocket more than $800.

“It does impact us as a family that we haven’t been reimbursed, and so going for-ward it would definitely make a difference to have that money,” she said.

“I had no heads up or indica-tion.”

Boychuk started working with Green Learning through Home Learning Connection run by Elizabeth Surridge, who is owed nearly $34,000 in prov-incial payments.

Two years ago, Surridge helped link 150 home-educa-tion students with Green Learn-ing, but said she learned in a meeting Tuesday that the com-

pany had been plagued by “bad management.”

“Green Learning had been in dire financial straits for two years and had been paying out money they didn’t have,” she

said, before adding that the Education Minister, Gordon Dirks, does have the power to pull back funds provided from the foundation that were due for home-schooling families.

“We believe the government will step up,” she said. “We’re very optimistic,” Surridge said.

But the province says it did initially withhold nearly $479,000 from Green Learning

after “numerous reminders” of the organization’s financial re-porting obligations.

But a statement provided to Metro added, “All grant funds were ultimately paid to GLF. Two payments were made in May and June, respectively, to allow GLF to make payroll. The rest of the money was paid in August after GLF provided Alberta Education with the outstanding audited financial statements.”

Green Learning officially filed for bankruptcy Oct. 14.

Efforts to reach officials with the foundation made over two days were unsuccessful.

Councillor ‘optimistic’ 102 Ave. bike lane will get city dollarsOne Edmonton city councillor is “optimistic” the city will fund both the 83 Avenue and 102 Av-enue bike lanes, despite only one project currently funded in the proposed document.

The capital budget was of-ficially presented to council Tuesday, with Coun. Scott McKeen inquiring about the 102 Avenue bike lane, which is currently unfunded in the capital budget.

The 83 Avenue lane cur-rently has over $4.3 million allotted in the budget handed to council because “it’s fur-ther along in planning” and because “there’s greater de-mand,” said one city official.

Following the meeting, Mc-Keen suspected the issue be-hind the 102 Avenue bike lane is the P3 agreement for the Valley Line and that there may be “some confusion” as to who

pays for the bike lane. Either way, the councillor thinks the downtown bike lane could get dollars.

“I’m still optimistic we can get that funded, it’s not a big ticket item relative to rest of the budget. If we’re going to do bike lanes and prove or dis-prove them, I think the core communities is where we’re going to find out,” he said. “I think it might help settle

some arguments across the city about whether bike lanes make sense in a winter city. I think they can in the right lo-cations.”

A public hearing on the pro-posed capital budget will be held on Nov. 24, where people can show their support for cer-tain projects within the city. Then council will debate the budget starting Nov. 26.StephAnie DuboiS/Metro

Discussions

Mayor doesn’t want to lose city events to Rogers Place and Northlands ‘fighting’

Mayor Don Iveson just wants everyone to get along when it comes to big-ticket events in Edmonton.

The comment comes after discussions over the future of Rexall Place and

where major city events like the Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) will be hosted once the downtown arena opens. Either way, the mayor says he’ll step in, if necessary.

“My main concern is keeping CFR in Edmonton. It’s a huge event for us for Western culture and Canadian economy,” Iveson said, noting the local impact on hotel stays and rodeo-related paraphernalia.

“Whatever happens, I’m committed to work with all

parties to keep that event in Edmonton.”

Northlands has pre-emptively put together an Arena Strategy Committee consisting of 17 members who will be presenting recommendations on the arena’s future April 15, 2015.

“I’m hopeful this com-mittee will address how Northlands and Katz Group can work together collab-oratively to make sure we attract the right events to

Edmonton and don’t lose anything because people are fighting over it,” said Iveson.

Coun. Mike Nickel says he’s “always questioned the viability of having two rinks” and that he would hate to see one lose to the other.

It’s nothing strange to see stu-dents working on tablets at the University of Alberta.

But for the first time, the technology is part of the school’s mass flu immuniza-tion campaign. The university is using tablets to register people for flu shots, ditching paper forms in the process.

One of the largest dedicated flu clinics in Alberta, the U of A site is piloting a project (a joint effort of the University Wellness Services and Alberta Health) to improve the clinic experience and streamline immunization by registering people on one of 18 tablets.

And with some 5,000 uni-versity students, staff and fam-ilies expected to get the flu shot during the Nov. 4-7 clinic, organizers hope this more ef-ficient system encourages even more people to sign up.

“Most importantly, we want all Albertans to get the flu shot,” said Health Minister Ste-

phen Mandel. “But we’re also encouraging the younger gen-eration, who are more apt to use this technology, to register. If it works, we hope to imple-ment it across the province.”

AHS has given $100,000 to the project, but Mandel said it’s a wise investment. “We’re trending upwards, at 27 per cent of Albertans getting the flu shot, but if we got 45 per cent coverage, we’d save $26 million a year,” he said.

Andy Smith, a U of A main-tenance worker, said the elec-tronic sign-up does make it easier to get through the flu shot process, but he’d do it in any case. “It’s handy to get the shot at work,” he said.

Student bus rides slated for annual review

Trends and inconsistency for student bus riders will be

easier to spot as Edmonton’s public school board OK’d a plan for yearly updates on how long students are spend-ing on the bus.

On Tuesday, EPSB ap-proved a motion to receive annual reporting of yellow bus rides.

The data will be collected to show the longest, short-est and average ride time for public students throughout

the district.Board chair Sarah Hoff-

man had asked for the annual review after trustees received a report earlier this year on ride times to date.

“I was a little bit inter-ested in what some of the trends are year-over-year, and by having an annual report, it gives you the ability to com-pare those apples-and-apples and let us know how we’re

doing in terms of our yellow bus service,” she said.

According to the ride times for this year, 66 per cent of yellow bus ride times are 30 minutes or less, which Hoffman said were better than what had been reported by media.

The report also found only three per cent of the 18,630 ride times was longer than 60 minutes or more on the bus.

Work for free, BoC governor advises young Canadians

The Bank of Canada govern-or is recommending jobless young people burnish their CVs by working for free while they wait for the hobbled job market to pick up.

Speaking to a House of Commons committee Tues-day, Stephen Poloz suggested young Canadians struggling to find work should acquire more experience through unpaid internships or volunteering.

When asked what kind of advice he normally gives a young person looking for work in the tough job environment, Poloz told the committee he replies: “Well, volunteer to do something which is at least somewhere related to your expertise set, so it is clear that you are gaining some learning experience during that period.”

He said hiring in Canada has failed to keep up with the already improving economy.

“Our belief is, though, that over the next two years we will manage to close up that gap,” Poloz told the finance commit-tee. Poloz added, however, that recent graduates who have not been able to find work will have to compete for jobs against new grads that arrive after them.

Liberal MP Scott Brison asked Poloz whether he thought unpaid internships were more of a benefit for wealthier youth because young people from a lower-income background can’t afford to work for free. Poloz acknow-ledged it was an issue with unpaid work, but he recom-mended young people take the opportunities when they are available.

His remarks in Ottawa came a day after he said in a speech in Toronto that 200,000 young Canadians are out of work, underemployed or back in school trying to improve their job prospects. The Canadian Press

Canada’s overseas operations commander lifted the veil Tuesday on the air force’s first bombing missions in Iraq as published U.S. reports sug-gested the plan to beat back the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) stretches until at least the end of 2015.

Sunday’s CF-18 airstrikes destroyed construction equip-ment that ISIL fighters were using to develop defensive positions near Fallujah, west of Baghdad, Lt.-Gen. Jonathan

Vance told a news conference in Ottawa. The militants were also reshaping a local dam, flooding nearby land to force Iraqi forces onto roads that had been mined and to deny a water supply to civilians, Vance said.

The New York Times re-ported over the weekend that a major counter-offensive by Iraqi forces, backed by Amer-ican advisers and coalition air power, won’t begin until the spring.

The goal will be for Iraqi

and Kurdish Peshmerga fight-ers to cut off the enemy’s Syrian supply routes, isolating them in strongholds such as Mosul before they can be driven out — something that likely won’t happen until the end of 2015.

How many bombs were dropped and whether any ISIL fighters were killed in Sunday’s raid were subjects Vance was not prepared to talk about, but he did say he was confident there were no civilian casual-ties. The Canadian Press

Ruling upheld

CSIS hid foreign spying from court, judges affirmThe Federal Court of Appeal upheld a ruling Tuesday that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service hid the fact it was relying on foreign intelligence agencies to spy on Canadians abroad.

A panel of appeal judges affirmed the conclusions of

Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley, who criticized CSIS for requesting warrants to track two Canadians with help from the Communica-tions Security Establishment.

CSIS failed to disclose that CSEC’s foreign counterparts in the Five Eyes intelligence network could be called upon to help — something Mosley called a deliberate decision to keep the court in the dark about the scope and extent of the foreign collection efforts. The Canadian Press

China ‘at a crossroads,’ says memo preparing PM for trip

Prime Minister Stephen Harper responds to a question in the House of Commons on Tuesday. Harper is bound for China, acountry “at a crossroads,” according to a 2013 briefing note. Sean KilpatricK/the canadian preSS

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is bound for a coun-try at a crossroads, as he pre-pares to meet a Chinese pol-itical leadership that faces significant political risk in trying to move its massive economy forward.

That blunt assessment, uncharacteristic of a govern-ment bent on deepening eco-nomic relations with China,

is contained in a briefing note prepared for Inter-national Trade Minister Ed Fast in advance of his April 2013 visit to that country.

Fast is one of many Con-servative cabinet ministers who in recent years have prepared the way for the prime minister’s third of-ficial visit to China, which starts this week.

Harper’s office is empha-sizing the economic and trade component of the trip, but it isn’t shying away from the obvious human rights and democracy issues in China.

A briefing book prepared for Fast’s trip last spring, a copy of which has been re-leased recently under Access

to Information, is part of sev-eral government documents that show the Harper gov-ernment has been busily as-sessing the lay of the land in China for the last year. That includes weighing the polit-ical ramifications of China’s rapid and uneven economic growth, and its relatively re-cent change in communist leadership.

“Today, China is at a crossroads. While the gov-ernment has largely deliv-ered on economic outcomes, with unprecedented growth over the past 30 years, the development of China’s so-cial welfare and governance systems has not kept pace,” says the briefing note, dated March 2013. the Canadian Press

Lawyer to helm Ghomeshi investigationA Toronto employment lawyer with expertise in workplace harassment will lead an in-dependent investigation into the scandal that has erupted around Jian Ghomeshi, for-mer host of the radio show Q, the CBC said Tuesday.

In an email to staff, execu-tive vice-president Heather Conway said Janice Rubin would begin her work im-mediately.

Conway urged anyone who

worked on Q, or an earlier Ghomeshi show called Play, to contact Rubin with any com-plaints, concerns or experi-ences involving harassment, discrimination, violence or other inappropriate work-place conduct.

“If you have any infor-mation you wish to share, I strongly encourage you to come forward in order to en-sure the investigation is as thorough as it must be,” Con-

way said.“Please be assured, these

conversations will be handled sensitively and any individual who comes forward will be treated with care and respect.”

While maintaining confi-dentiality, Rubin will report to senior CBC management about what she heard and what her investigations un-covered along with recom-mendations on resolving any complaints.

The investigator will also report separately on what the broadcaster should do to pre-vent any similar issues arising in the future.

Rubin is described on the law firm’s website as an award-winning workplace investigator who has made guest appearances on CBC as an expert. She refused to com-ment on whether this posed a conflict of interest.the Canadian Press

Manitoba

‘Naked judge’ loses bid to avoid disciplinary hearingA Manitoba judge whose nude pictures were posted online has lost a bid to quash a disciplinary hearing that could result in her removal from the bench.

A panel of judges ap-pointed by the Canadian Ju-dicial Council has dismissed a motion from the lawyer for

Associate Chief Justice Lori Douglas to throw the case out. Sheila Block compared Douglas to celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence or Scarlett Johansson, whose nude photos were hacked, or to a rape victim who is subsequently shunned. Block argued the panel shouldn’t put Douglas through more trauma because she was a victim of cyber sexual assault.

The panel rejected Block’s argument, and is expected to post reasons for its decision within days. the Canadian Press

Thousands of people in Sierra Leone are being forced to vio-late Ebola quarantines to find food because deliveries are not reaching them, aid agencies said.

Large swaths of the West African country have been sealed off to prevent the spread of Ebola, and within those areas many people have been ordered to stay in their homes.

The government, with help from the UN’s World Food Program, is tasked with deliv-ering food and other services to those people. But there are

many “nooks and crannies” in the country that are being missed, Jeanne Kamara, Chris-tian Aid’s Sierra Leone repre-sentative, said Tuesday.

The Ebola outbreak in

West Africa has killed nearly 5,000 people, and authorities have gone to extreme lengths to bring it under control, in-cluding the quarantines in Si-erra Leone. Similar restrictions

have also been used in Liberia and Guinea,

Some efforts have begun to show progress. The situa-tion in Guinea is improving, as is the quality of care for

Ebola patients, thanks to inter-national aid, said Aboubakar Sidiki Diakite, an official with the country’s Health Ministry, who was visiting Paris on Tues-day.

But more treatment cen-tres and medical teams are still needed, the World Health Organization said at a news conference in Geneva on Tues-day. There are currently 16 treatment centres up and run-ning and 58 more planned. To staff those centres, 500 foreign health care workers and 4,000 national ones are still needed.

In October, the World Food Program fed more than 450,000 people in Sierra Leone, including people who are under quarantine or being treated for Ebola, said Alexis Masciarelli, a spokesman for the agency in Dakar, Senegal. The distribution of food has been difficult, he said, since it has required bringing food to remote areas by poor roads. The AssociATed Press

Canadian food banks are wading into the hot political debate over how best the fed-eral government can help families with kids: give them tax breaks, as the Conserva-tives are doing, or invest in regulated child care, as the NDP proposes.

In its annual HungerCount report, Food Banks Canada comes down squarely on the side of the NDP.

It says the use of food banks remains 25 per cent

higher than it was before the devastating global recession in 2008.

Among other recommen-dations, the report says the federal government should replace “the current alphabet soup” of child tax benefits with a new child well-being benefit that targets the most vulnerable families.

And it calls on federal and provincial governments to invest in predictable, stable funding for affordable, regu-lated child care, enabling par-ents to enter or remain in the workforce.

The report comes just days after Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a family tax package, which includes enhanced child tax benefits and income splitting — a measure economists say will benefit primarily wealthy

couples with kids.The Conservatives have

said their plan will allow par-ents to choose what’s best for their kids and have dispar-aged the NDP’s proposal to in-vest $5 billion a year to create one million, $15-per-day child care spaces. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Food Banks Canada. Group argues affordable, regulated child care would be more helpful to struggling families than tax benefits

Would you prefer $15-per-day child care or tax breaks?

Visa, MasterCard cut fees for merchantsVisa and MasterCard have agreed to reduce the fees they charge merchants for using credit cards, to an average effective rate of 1.5 per cent for the next five years. The reduction amounts to a 10 per cent cut. The reduction will be welcomed by small merchants, but one senator, who’s been advocating for regula-tion of interchange fees, calls the cut “practically meaningless.” senator Pierrette Ringuette points out that Visa and MasterCard spiked rates by 25 per cent in the past two years. The announcement Tuesday comes more than a year after the federal Competition Tribunal ruled that Visa and MasterCard were being anti-competitive by charging excessive swipe fees and called for government regulation.

Analysts warn

scotiabank cuts could be sign of things to comeWidespread cost reductions at Scotiabank, which in-clude plans to cut 1,500 jobs, could be a sign of changes to come in, several analysts suggest. The move has some wondering if the rest of Canada’s banks will make similar adjustments to their operations, as underper-forming regions and slower overall growth add pressure to results.

Perhaps in deference to the film’s content, she also implants ideas of Matt Damon and Jennifer Lawrence as perfect co-stars in our heads. BAHM! (PixelsPerSecond/YouTube)

WHEN SCANDAL HITS: TUNE IN OR OPT OUT?Last week was super-productive: On Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday, I got more work done than I usually have by Friday.

I was on deadline-lockdown, also known as “desk-jail,” which means turning on the Internet-blocking program Freedom for hours at a time to focus more on my own stuff and less on everyone else’s Twitter feeds. But last week the Internet was almost totally unavailable for me.

The news cycle was, of course, dominated by Jian Ghomeshi, and many women, and many other people’s ideas about Jian Ghomeshi and many women.

Usually, I’d be all over it, reading every article, watching the relevant hashtags build and mutate, and refresh-ing Twitter as fast as my pro-level Internet-finger can click. Usually, I’d find myself emerging after a scary news cycle and subsequent social-media cloudbursts with a headache and a handful of peanut M&Ms.

Instead, this time, I just ... didn’t. I opted out. The circumstances of my work schedule suddenly collided with the fact that, as I get older, I get incre-mentally smarter about what I need to do (and see and read).

It doesn’t mean I didn’t have anything to say; on one of the sub-topics of last week’s news I had a lotto say about the very specific ideas some people seem to have about what women should or usually do after being assaulted — all of it demonstrating a profound misunderstanding and lack of empathy about what other people’s experiences might be like — but found myself disinclined to say it.

I didn’t tweet about what everyone else was tweeting about, except something to the effect of “not reading the news is great.”

While my friends and colleagues got way into the details — look, I was still checking my Twitter “Must Read” list — I in-stead thought almost exclusively about my own life and work.

I started to think of the disengagement as something else, something active rather than passive — even something rad-ical. I was choosing to do something else.

It’s not as though reading the news or even staying super-current is any kind of problem itself. The problem, which I dis-covered when I accidentally solved it (thank you, deadlines), is the common idea of having to consume news at the rate it ex-pands and becomes available. By now, the news “cycle” either doesn’t exist or happens every few seconds, and when that news is particularly upsetting or affecting (which varies from person to person) it can’t be consumed in the way we’ve gotten used to, which is to be immersed in everything, always.

It’s not that I won’t take on anything that involves negative energy — which is fundamental to being alive — but I want and probably need to better manage the volume and veracity of information for information’s sake (or gossip’s, or random curi-ousity’s).Now, if I’m not being informed or edified, I’m opting out.Paul Sullivan returns with Just Sayin’ next week.

Twitter

@metropicks asked: CBC wants to know your thoughts on the future of Q. Who do you think should replace Jian Ghomeshi as host? #QTheFuture.

@MyroneDelacruz: Master T or @sookyinlee

@Mausheimer: Hire BILLY BOB!!!!! He’s got the gravy! He’s smart, brave, multi talented, can write his own essays, and he’s a musician!

@ChillBQ : Would be great to see @NirmalaNaidoo get the role.

Cloudbusting

A fallstreak hole forms in the sky over Wonthaggi, Australia, Monday. A fallstreak hole is a circular gap that appears in high clouds, when a section of the cloud freezes. The ice crystals are heavy, so they fall out of the cloud,leaving a hole. It is a relatively rare phenomenon. LEESA WILLMOTT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fallstreak hole stirs the imagination down under

A bizarre cloud over parts of Australia caused a fl urry of concern and awe on social media.

The rare cloud, known as a fallstreak hole, appeared over the Wonthaggi, in the Gippsland area of Victoria on Monday, fl ecked with colour and giving the appearance of a hole in the sky.

Michael Efron from the Bureau of Meteorology’s duty forecaster, said that the phenomenon is also known as a punch hole cloud.

“They form when the water temperature in the cloud is below freezing, but the water has not yet frozen due to a lack of ice nucleation particles,” Efron told Fairfax Media. DAILYMAIL.CO.UK

Wild theories

In May the same type of cloud formed in Northern California, sparking conspiracy theories.

• “So the @WhiteHouse wants you to believe what happened over the skies of Stockton yesterday was a ‘cloud formation’ ? GTFOH #iKnowWhatiSaw,” tweeted one user.

• Others pointed to govern-ment controlled weather manipulation and worm-holes for the cloud’s unusual appearance.

Caine gets big bang out of Hawking

What does it take for Michael Caine to get star-struck? Meet-ing Stephen Hawking. And he recently got to do just that. Caine’s work in Christopher Nolan’s new film, Interstellar, gave him the chance to be-come friendly with theoretic-al physicist Kip Thorne, who in turn introduced Caine to Hawking — who himself only had one thing on his mind, as it turned out: Caine’s wife.

When Christopher Nolan explained this project to you, how did you wrap your head around it?Well, I was fascinated by it because I knew Kip Thorne’s book about black holes and all that stuff, and then I found out that Kip Thorne was the technical adviser and that I was going to be — really, not playing Kip Thorne the person — but a Kip Thorne character. That’s why I grew a beard; I wanted to look like Kip. And then he introduced me to Stephen Hawking, who came and saw the movie! I was so stunned, I nearly burst into tears. I mean, meeting Stephen Hawking, my God. It was incredible.

What was your interaction with him like? He can hear every word you say, but he can only reply on the computer with a muscle in his eye. One muscle in the corner of his eye, it’s down to that. I met him in the cor-ridor with Kip, and Kip said,

“Stephen’s got a message for you.” I said, “What is it?” He said, “He wants to meet your wife.” He loves the ladies. I introduced him to Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, my daughters. Every pretty girl that was around, I intro-duced him to the lot of them. He had a great time.

Getting to work with Kip had to be an added bonus, as well.

Also it’s a mine of infor-mation for someone like me. I’m not an expert on astrophysics. I mean, I know quite a lot about it, of course, but I’m not an expert. There were black holes, but then there were wormholes, and I didn’t understand that. You realize how dumb you are. I was all right up until the third dimension, then the fourth dimension. And then when we got to the fifth dimen-sion, I got confused. But the people younger than me can understand it, I’m sure.

At what point do you just assume that you’re the voice of reason in Christopher Nolan’s head? I seem to be that all time, don’t I? I’m always the one who’s sort of there representing the people who stayed behind. Like in Batman, I was the realist, saying, “You’re going to do

what? You’re going to put on a suit and go to the top of the building?” I seem to repre-sent the people on Earth who don’t go out and actually do the things. But in some cases, as in this picture, I’m the one who thinks it up.

Maybe next time he’ll let you go on the mission. No, I’m too old. I’m 81 now. By the time we do another I’ll probably be 84. No, I think it could work, we’ll see what he gets up to. You never know where Chris is going to come from. I’ve done it six times now, and I’ll do it a seventh if he comes up with one. He will, and I’m hoping there will be something in it for me.

At this point, it would be rude of him not to include you.Yeah, he’s got to do it, hasn’t he, really? Otherwise he’ll upset an old guy.

Interstellar’s reel dealToday marks a milestone: a film is being released on film. Interstellar hits theatres today — just not even close to all of them. That may seem odd, given that it’s one of the most highly anticipated movie events of the year: the latest from brainy block-buster-maker Christopher Nolan.

Yet the only theatres getting it are the ones that never threw out their film projectors (and who still have the staff who actually knows how to work these rickety contraptions). Starting today one can see Interstellar in good, old-fashioned, grainy and dangerously combust-ible 35mm as well as super-sized 70mm IMAX. The ones that converted entirely to digital, which is nearly all of them — don’t get it till Friday.

This bold move is a strong push-back against the digital wave that has almost entirely consumed modern movie watching. Grand gestures like this Interstellar brouhaha help create film awareness — even if, one could argue, it turns the medium into a William Castle-style gimmick.

Interstellar indeed looks great on 70mm. Its early scenes on Earth — the film, incidentally, is about Matt McConaughey and Anne Hathaway searching through the cosmos for a planet to replace the dying Earth — are sometimes impossibly dark. But once it gets to space you can not only seethe majesty, but feel it. It looks real — it looks like film. MATT PRIGGE/METRO

Rihanna not too shy to reveal her inner geek

Rihanna graces the cover of Elle magazine for the fourth time for its December issue, and in honour of that, she sat down for a Q&A session. The resulting piece is full of evidence that Rihanna truly is the Ernest Hemingway of pop stars, using two words where someone like Miley Cyrus would probably use 12. But even with such brevity, her answers are illuminating — terrified of childbirth, loves Michael Bolton’s Greatest Hits. Who knew?

Here are some of her more memorable sound bites.

• The answer we don’t really believe: Elle: What do people misunderstand about you? Rihanna: I’m shy.

• The answer that’s not such a huge surprise: Elle: What’s your mantra? Rihanna: “F— bitches, get money!”

• The answer that solidifies her geek cred: Elle: The last time you were starstruck? Rihanna: When I met Aaron Paul at the Spike awards.

• Most unintentionally cringe-inducing answer: Elle: If you were a piece of jewelry, what would it be? Rihanna: I’d be a choker!

METRO DISHOUR TAKE ON THE WORLD OF CELEBRITIES

Ariana Grande Getty ImaGes

Sending a great pumpkin is not the way to win

Ariana’s heartSometimes a fan loves Ariana Grande so much that the young singer has no choice but to call the cops on him. At least that was what happened when Tim Normandin, a 29-year-old man from Lowell, Mass., didn’t heed her record com-pany’s request that he stop sending Grande outlandish and odd gifts, according to TMZ. Among the tokens of

his affections? Eight Yankee Candle Company candles, calendars featuring puppies and kittens, a three-piece mirror set from Kmart, a $200 anklet from Kay Jewel-ers, a rock he picked up in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and, best of all, a 42-and-a-half-pound pump-kin, which is apparently not the way to a pop star’s heart after all. Huh.

Jennifer Aniston Getty ImaGes

Movie make-under takes the Cake for Aniston, who found the look liberating

In her new indie film, Cake, Jennifer Aniston got some-thing of a make-under, dress-ing down with no makeup and a drab haircut to play a car-crash survivor. And you know what? She loved it. Aniston found taking on the look “so fabulous — so

dreamy and empowering and liberating,” she said during a recent Deadline panel. “The only time I had to sit in the makeup chair was just for the scars.” Oddly, there haven’t been a bunch of “get her look!” posts connected to this one.

How-to

Get your snowbird ducks in a rowInsurance expert Erin Finn from RSA Canada has some tips for those of you flying south. 1. Make sure the insurance company knows you’ll be away for an extended period of time. 2. Have a friend or neighbour keep an eye on your house. In the event of a power outage, frozen pipes can spell disaster. 3. Make sure your travel insurance is up to date. Don’t assume credit card travel insurance pro-vides full coverage. Read the fine print. 4. Confirm that your driver’s licences, passports and vehicle registration are valid for the entire trip. 5. Carry a list of all medical prescriptions with you, as well as your medical history. DOUG WALLACE/METRO

Let your nose be your guide through YorkTravel is all about experiencing new sensations, including diff erent smells: the fresh fragrance of a grassy meadow, the perfumes wafting from stores and the scent of candles in centuries-old cathedrals. That’s why the tourist offi ce in York, England, created the world’s fi rst scented visitor’s guide. Titled Smell York, the city guide catalogues some of the English city’s most distinctive aromas and corresponding tourist attractions. A total of 12 attractions are pictured in the booklet (one for each month), and each image is infused with an associated smell. Tourists simply scratch and sniff to experience the fragrances, which range from rather classic notes such as tea, chocolate and wild fern to a few more unusual odours. In a nod to the legend that York is one of the U.K.’s most haunted cities, the tourist offi ce included a page with “the haunting aromas of ghosts,” characterized by rose and sulphur notes. Tourists can also experience the smells of the horse track or the railroad. The Smell York guide is available online for £5 (around $8) at visityork.org/fi rst-smellyork.aspx. AFP

Culture and cuisine in the Sweet Home stateMobile. Take in the southern style of this Alabama city — one obsessed with Mardi Gras, oysters and azaleas

mIkE [email protected]

Two hours east of the non-stop party that is N’awlins (New Orleans) and an hour northwest of the Florida Pan-handle’s seductive sands, Mo-bile, Ala., provides the best of both worlds — a blossoming cultural core surrounded by the pleasures of the salt life.

Mobile (pronounced Moh-beel) is bona fide Southern, the historic downtown corri-

dors adorned with a canopy of live oaks festooned with Span-ish moss and Mardi Gras bead tendrils that hang in the sky year round. Architecturally, the city glistens with Greek Revival buildings, antebellum manses, gothic churches, and ornate balconies of lacey wrought iron.

While not as synonymous with Mardi Gras outside of the

region as the Big Easy, Mobile was the first American city to laissez les bons temps rouler with Fat Tuesday celebrations dating back to 1703. Their an-nual two-and-a-half week-long bash is absolutely epic.

What to seeGain a full appreciation for Mobilians’ Mardi Gras obses-sion at the Carnival Museum. Scope out the many displays of intricate and sumptuous gowns and coronation robes and be sure to climb atop a parade float and hurl a moon pie, Mobile’s go-to throw. Football fanatics should keep an eye out for JaMarcus Rus-sell’s crown from when he was King of Mardi Gras in 2010.

Then climb your way through the 12 decks of the feature attraction at the USS Alabama Battleship Memor-ial Park. The vessel earned the nickname “The Lucky A” during the Second World War as no seamen were lost by enemy fire. Cleveland Indians Great Bob Feller joined the Navy right after Pearl Harbor and served 34 months aboard the USS Alabama as a gunnery captain. You’ll spy a trove of the HOF pitcher’s memora-bilia aboard.

What to doWhen in Azalea city, you need to drink in a sea of hot pink and purple hues at Bel-lingrath Gardens and Home in the Mobile suburb of Theo-dore. While azalea season is in the spring, they’ve got roses blooming in the summer, chrysanthemums in the fall and poinsettias perking up over the winter, so there’s no off season at this 65-acre floral fantasy land.

Where to eatWintzell’s Oyster House, now a sprouting regional chain, is a Mobile mainstay with

the original location on Dau-phin Street shucking bivalves since 1938. They’re known for serving them “fried, stewed, or nude.” Try a dozen char-grilled, or at least sidle up to the bar to witness the open-flame preparation in action.

Cap off your Mobile culin-

ary crawl with the progres-sive Southern cuisine of True Midtown Kitchen. Manager Ri-chard True and chef Jonathan Stern collaborate on edgier takes on familiar dishes. Or-der the lamb meat loaf gar-nished with a mint ketchup and served with garam masala potatoes and Waldorf salad.

“We like to find the root of one thing and do it a little different ... say with eastern spices like in the meatloaf, that’s the goal,” says True.

Where to stayThe landmark site of The Battle House Renaissance Mo-bile Hotel & Spa has burned down a few times in the past 200 years, but the current AAA four-diamond building is still plenty old, dating back to 1908. On the second floor have a friend stand facing one of the four arches. Go to the other 50 feet away and say, “What’s up, doc?” They’ll hear you loud and clear. Of course, these arch-whispering acoustics mean you may want to steer away from “private” conversations in the vicinity.

Alabama’s port city has plenty to offer. Mike dojc/Metro

Sicily is the Mediterranean’s largest island and a trip around this triangular-shaped ancient land can be particularly rewarding for those in search of free things to do. Besides Sicily’s sights, smells and sounds — the feast of wildflowers in rainy months,

colourful street markets, picturesque faces and places around every corner — many of the island’s greatest gifts are free.

story and photos: thE assocIatEd prEss

MountainsThere are three extensive regional parks to explore — those of Mount Etna, and the Nebrodi and Madonie mountains. In each of these reserves there are a wealth of hiking trails, rivers and spectacular gorges to navigate. Many paths skirt the smouldering volcano of Etna, which offers one of the most spectacular free shows on Earth during its frequent eruptions.

Five free things to do when you’re in Sicily

the seaWhen you think of Sicily, you can’t help but imagine the sea. Sicily’s coasts are dotted by public beaches and gorgeous quiet spots. Besides the beach-es of the main island, Sicily’s satellite islands — the Aeolian and Egadi are the easiest to reach — offer stunning oases. To enjoy the sea at its best, go to the protected marine area of the Egadi islands where sea life flourishes.

the norman cathedralsIn the Middle Ages, Sicily was conquered by the Normans, bands of northern knights who were leading the Crusades at the time. In Sicily, the Norman kingdom merged northern and Muslim esthetics to create one of Europe’s most fascinating architectural styles. Awe-inspiring vaulted ceilings, glass mosaics with rich golden backgrounds transfix visitors. The cathedrals at Monreale and Cefalu are free.

targa FlorioSicily remains a great destina-tion to watch open road racing. The biggest of these events is connected to the historic Targa Florio, an open road race begun in 1906 that took racers onto the hair-raising mountain roads near Palermo. The Targa Florio became a celebrated event of daring, but eventually became too dangerous. The event continues as a rally in May where classic and modern cars roar through the narrow mountain switchbacks.

the festivalsAmong the biggest and most celebrated festivals in Sicily are those connected to Easter. Trapani’s daylong Easter proces-sion — the Misteri di Trapani — is best known for its masses of people, its ornate wooden statues, music and the range of emotions displayed by participants and viewers alike. The hours-long pro-cession evokes everything from frenzy to sorrow to joy as bearers bolster the statues through crowded streets.

5. Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling water, cook gnoc-chi for about 5 minutes or until they float to the top and are tender. Using slot-ted spoon, scoop out gnoc-chi and let drain well and add to sauce in skillet. Re-peat with all the gnocchi. Add red pepper and parsley and toss to coat.

Size matters when managing success

Have you ever wondered if the size of the organization you work for can affect your career? The answer is that yes, it can.

There are benefits to work-ing at both small companies (generally considered to be businesses with fewer than 100 employees) and large compan-ies (those with more than 500 employees). Mid-sized organiza-tions fall between the two.

Unless you have a concrete reason for preferring one over the other, it’s best to apply to companies of all sizes when looking for a job.

Over the course of your ca-reer, you’ll hopefully get to ex-perience what it’s like to work at both large and small estab-lishments. Here are some of the major differences you’ll notice:

Levels of responsibilityThose who work at a smaller company may have more indi-vidual responsibility than their counterparts at large organiza-tions.

A small staff means that there are fewer individuals re-sponsible for the company’s operations, so the share of re-sponsibility is greater.

However, managers at large companies may be responsible for operations at a higher level — with higher risks and higher potential gains or losses, for ex-ample.

In general, a company’s size determines how much of a role an ordinary employee has in both the organization’s suc-cesses and failures. At smaller companies, there’s potential

Career. Whether petite or gargantuan, the size of the company you work for makes a professional difference

When it comes to an ideal company size, there is no right answer. It’s important to take time to reflect on your personal and professional priorities to decide what kind of environment might be better for you. istock

Staff dynamic

for more recognition when things go well — and more ac-countability when they don’t.

Job descriptionsAlong with a greater portion of responsibility, employees of small companies also have more varied workloads. One person might be responsible for managing several portfolios or platforms, while someone with a similar background at

a larger organization may only be responsible for one or two projects, working as part of a larger team.

There are pros and cons to both. At a large company, you’ll likely find a more established internal structure with clear delegation of responsibility and the opportunity to focus intensely on a small number of tasks.

Get to work in a smaller

organization, and you’ll be re-sponsible for a more diverse and fluid role. This can be great for gaining new experience and growing professionally.

Mobility and stabilityCompanies with more employ-ees typically have more op-portunities for advancement within the organization. These opportunities can be both ver-tical (moving upwards in the

company’s management struc-ture) or horizontal (moving into a different department or area at a similar level).

In comparison, staff at smaller companies can be more stable — it’s less likely that em-ployees will change positions internally so unless they decide to leave the organization, the company’s internal structure is not going to change as often.

Employee benefitsLarge companies can some-times offer their employees more comprehensive benefits and higher salaries because they generally have the resour-ces to do so.

However, working in a

smaller office can come with other perks. Organizations with fewer employees might have more personal staff outings and get-togethers or celebrate birth-days or holidays, for example, which can strengthen team dy-namics and create an environ-ment where employees genu-inely enjoy working together. It’s also much more common for employees of small (or new) companies to own equity in the company, which means their hard work is directly tied to an increase in value.

Happiness is discovering joy in your job

If you’re like most Canadians, you spend most of your waking hours at your workplace —

which means that you should try your hardest to make those hours happy ones.

Gretchen Rubin became a best-selling author five years ago with her book, The Hap-piness Project, in which she experimented with different tactics to create a happy life.

“A lot of times with happi-ness there is a lot of attention paid to big, transformative events like, ‘I’m going to climb Kilimanjaro,’” says Rubin. “But

it’s important to look at ordin-ary life, the little things you can work in that don’t take a lot of time or money.”

We recently sat down with Rubin to get her thoughts on simple things workers can do to make their days a little brighter.

Have a work buddy“When researchers talk to people who are happy at work, one of the most common

things is that they have a friend at work,” Rubin notes. It’s al-ways nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of and to take coffee breaks with.

Try to find a supportive boss“Choose your boss carefully, if you can,” advises Rubin. “Be-cause having a boss you feel cares about your success is very important to happiness.”

Make sure you’re comfortable

Literally. “Is your desk the right size?” she asks. “Are you hunching your shoul-ders so that you are getting a backache every night?” Making little adjustments to your posture and finding a comfortable office chair can make a big difference.

“Make sure you are com-fortable in your body, be-cause if you are uncomfort-able it wears you out,” Rubin adds.

Career. Believe it or not, it is possible to find delight at your desk

Take your lunch break

• Getting some space is important. “When you walk outside and you have some distance, you’re reminded that it’s not the biggest deal in the world if this guy handed in his report a day late,” Rubin points out.

Mason’s new mask ne against Oilers

Jakub Voracek scored two goals, and Steve Mason made 35 saves to earn his first win of the season as the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 on Tuesday night.

Pierre-Edouard Belle-mare and Luke Schenn added goals for the Flyers, who began a four-game

homestand with their third straight win on their own ice. They dropped their first three games in Philadel-phia.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored for the Oilers, who opened a five-game trip with their third straight loss.

The Oilers played with-out captain Andrew Ference and leading scorer Taylor Hall. Ference served the first of a three-game sus-pension for his illegal hit against Vancouver’s Zack Kassian in Saturday’s 3-2 home loss. Hall injured his knee and is expected to

miss 2-to-4 weeks.Mason, 33-18-7 with a

2.50 goals-against average last season, was 0-4-1 with a 3.55 GAA in six starts before Tuesday.

Chants of “Mason! Mason!” echoed from the crowd after a pair of point-blank saves on Nail Yaku-pov and David Perron with 14 minutes left in the game.

The Flyers goalie wore a new mask, switching to one that reduces glare. He had struggled to adjust to new lighting installed at the Wells Fargo Center in two home losses.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Third straight loss.Oilers denied point-blank shots as Flyers goalie wins fi rst at home this season

On a brighter note

The Oilers lost for the fi rst time this season to an Eastern Conference op-ponent.

• Not too bad. Edmon-ton’s record so far is 4-1.

• Reinforcements. To re-place Taylor Hall (knee) and Andrew Ference (suspended), Edmonton recalled defencemen Keith Aulie and Oscar Kle om from Okla-homa City of the AHL.

CFL awards

Sherritt named defensive player of the weekMontreal wide receiver Duron Carter was named CFL offensive player of the week Tuesday after catch-ing 11 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown in the Alouettes’ 17-14 win over Toronto last week.

Edmonton linebacker J.C. Sherritt earned the de-fensive player of the week honour. He had seven tackles, a career-high three sacks, a special-teams tackle and a forced fumble in the Eskimos’ 37-3 rout of the B.C. Lions.

The special-teams hon-our went to Hamilton kick returner Brandon Banks.

Redblacks defensive lineman Justin Capicciotti was named top Canadian after registering four tackles and two sacks.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Child abuse case

Peterson dodges prison with dealMinnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson avoided prison time on Tuesday in a plea agreement reached with prosecutors to resolve his child abuse case.

Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemean-our charge of reckless assault under a deal approved during a court hearing. A no-contest plea isn’t an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing.

The All-Pro running back was indicted in Sep-tember for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Raptors take advantage of ailing ThunderDeMar DeRozan scored 16 points and Lou Williams had nine of his 12 points in the fourth quarter as the Toronto Raptors defeated the injury-riddled Okla-homa City Thunder 100-88 on Tuesday.

Patrick Patterson had 14 points and eight rebounds, while Tyler Hansbrough had 12 points for Toronto (3-1).

It looks like the Toronto Argo-nauts will have to make their playoff push without star quarterback Ricky Ray.

Ray is doubtful for Friday night’s must-win home game against Ottawa after suffering a concussion in Sunday’s 17-14 road loss to the Montreal Alouettes. Backup Trevor Har-ris took all the practice snaps Tuesday and is expected to make his first CFL start against the Redblacks.

“Ricky would be doubt-ful, at best,” head coach Scott Milanovich said. “I’m plan-ning right now on Trevor playing but it’s not out of

the realm of possibility (Ray) could play.

“He’d have to essentially get cleared and then come and say, ‘Listen, you’ve got to play me, I’ve got to be in there.’ There’s a lot of stuff that has to take place before that can happen.”

Toronto (7-10) remains in playoff contention but doesn’t control its destiny. The Argos must beat expansion Ottawa (2-15), then have Montreal (9-8) defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (8-9) on Saturday afternoon to secure second and host either B.C. or Saskatchewan in the

East Division semifinal on Nov. 16.

Hamilton would clinch second place by beating Mont-real and could take first place — and home field for the East final Nov. 23 — if that victory was by eight points or more.

Ray, 35, has made all 17 regular-season starts and leads the CFL in attempts (620), completions (425), passing yards (4,595), TDs (28) and completion percentage (68.5). Toronto leads the league in passing yards (4,767), touch-downs (29) and efficiency rat-ing (95.3). The Canadian Press

You’ve probably heard that you should always use the right tool for the job. For work trucks, that often means a smaller van for smaller jobs.

But Canadian companies had few options until 2010, when Ford introduced its European-based Transit Con-nect.

That model is completely updated for 2014. It now looks and drives better, and comes with more features.

There’s also a passenger ver-sion that Ford intends as an alternative to the minivan.

The base engine is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder, start-ing at $28,699 in XL cargo van trim. My top-line XLT tester, which starts at $30,099, was further optioned with a turbocharged 1.6-litre Eco-Boost four-cylinder, which adds another $800.

The idea behind EcoBoost is you get smaller-engine fuel efficiency under light load, but when needed, the turbo kicks in to provide bigger-en-gine power. It runs on regu-lar-grade fuel and I averaged 9.9 L/100 km in it.

As you might expect from a vehicle that’s also intended for personal use, the Transit Connect handles well and doesn’t feel tippy, despite its height. It can be ordered with

one or two sliding side doors, and with twin rear doors or a liftgate.

Standard features on the cargo van include air condi-tioning, keyless entry, and a tilt-and-telescopic steering

wheel. The dash and centre stack bear some resemblance to Ford’s passenger cars, and mine came with such amen-ities as a navigation system, satellite radio, and backup camera. It looks good, but it

could use more small-item storage space, since there aren’t many places to stash all the loose stuff that’s need-ed for a typical workday.

Ford also offers a full-size van, the new Transit, which replaces the outgoing E-Ser-ies (Econoline) van. But many businesses don’t need some-thing that big.

For small companies such as caterers, florists and light-duty deliveries or repairs, the Transit Connect is the right size, as well as being far more manoeuvrable in tight city spaces.

It took a long time for these European-style vans to get here, but we’ve now learned that small can be beautiful.

Review. Transit Connect is ideal for companies or families that don’t need a full-sized van

The dash and centre stack bear some resemblance to Ford’s passenger cars.

Points

• The Transit Connect can carry up to 780 kilograms (1,720 lb.) and, when prop-erly equipped, tow up to 907 kilograms (2,000 lb.).• The front passenger seat folds flat, to accommodate cargo up to 2,969 mm long.• Ford works with suppli-ers who can outfit the van with shelves, partitions, re-frigeration units, bins and other specialized systems.

Market position

The first-generation Transit Connect essen-tially started the small, purpose-built work van segment in Canada. This new generation now faces competition, including some with lower starting prices, which will give buyers even more choices.

Honda sorry for multiple recalls, executives pay the price with pay cuts Honda has announced its president and 12 other execu-tives would take quality-related pay cuts in the wake of the automaker’s fifth recall in the first year of its new Fit hybrid (not sold in North America).

“We have inconvenienced many customers, and we’re deeply sorry,” Reuters reports Honda spokes-person Akemi Ando as saying.

The recall covers more than 400,000 Fit hybrids and other models. Honda is also facing lawsuits regarding collisions that involved outsourced airbags, also used by other auto makers, triggering millions of recalls.

Shift: From hybrids, technology, new vehicles and the environment, to saving money at the pumps

Chrysler will launch a plug-in hybrid minivan next year Chrysler says it will bring to market late next year a plug-in hybrid version of its next Town & Country minivan. That’s a year earlier than the company had indicated in its latest five-year plan. No automaker has offered a hybrid minivan, with or without a plug. Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told Automotive News that the cost of elec-trification remains “a fundamental obstacle” for his company. He has been quoted as saying Chrysler loses $10,000 on every plug-in electric Fiat 500 it sells.All stories And photos from wheelbAsemediA.com

Honda executives are taking pay cuts over a spate of recalls, including five for the Fit Hybrid, which is not sold in North America.Chrysler will bring a plug-in hybrid minivan to market in late 2015.

Shift points

• A recent study of fleet managers — who buy and manage vehicles for companies, governments and other groups — found they were respon-sible for more than half of global plug-in electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle sales through 2012.

• The Ledcor Group of Companies in British Columbia have taken delivery of more than 200 compressed natural gas vehicles, instantly creating one of Canada’s largest CNG fleets. The Ford Transit Connect cargo vans are the first of their kind.

• Tesla partner Panasonic will invest about $9.2 million US in Tesla’s pro-ject to supply electric-car batteries.

Technology. Flying car that runs on regular gas and fits in regular parking spot is ‘very close to finished’ The AeroMobil 3.0 flying car has been unveiled, and it takes off quicker than ever.

Revealed at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna, the latest prototype of the vehicle fea-tures significant improve-ments and upgrades since its last version.

The machine, which its designers say is “very close to the finished product,” is now being tested in real flight con-ditions.

Designed and manufac-tured in just 10 months, the car is about the same size as a limousine or a large luxury sedan, and can be parked in regular parking spots in cit-ies. It runs on standard gaso-line and can be fuelled at regular gas stations.

“I believe AeroMobil will inspire new ways of thinking about personal travel,” says CEO Juraj Vaculik. “It may really enable new ways of travel, advancing it to a new level. We are set to reinvent the flying car without con-straints and deliver excite-ment through unique tech-nical solution and design.”

The Slovakian invention has been in development since 1989, when Stefan Klein began working on a concept of a flying car. He was joined by Vaculik in 2010 and the pair embarked upon com-mercializing the project. AFP

Now being tested in real flight conditions, the AeroMobil collapses to the size of a limousine for road use. AFP

Horoscopes by Sally Brompton

AriesMarch 21 - April 20Something that seemed so simple a few days ago now looks complicated. Maybe it is, or maybe it’s just your mind. Either way, don’t make any hasty decisions today.

TaurusApril 21 - May 21The more time and eff ort you pour into a certain situation the worse it appears to get. Why not take the hint and back off ?

GeminiMay 22 - June 21 According to the planets you are working too hard and need to take a break. Everyone needs time to relax and you need it more than most right now.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 It may be tempting to go beyond what you know you are capable of but the planets warn your calculations could easily be wrong — and that could be costly in more ways than one.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23Certain areas of your private life may be chaotic but that is no reason to change everything.Focus on one task at a time today and don’t let domestic worries detract from equally important issues.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Your assumptions about what is right and wrong will be challenged today. You may need to change what you believe in.

LibraSept. 24 - Oct. 23Today’s Sun-Uranus link warns that changing things for the sake of it is both foolish and dangerous. If something isn’t broken then why try to fi x it?

ScorpioOct. 24 - Nov. 22A diffi cult situation is set to continue for some while yet.Changes may be worrying but in the long-term you will be glad you were forced to move in a new direction.

SagittariusNov. 23 - Dec. 21Why are you so determined to look on the gloomy side of life?No doubt it has something to do with cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart but you don’t have to worry.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20Resist the urge to make snap decisions today. The Sun at odds with Uranus means you should proceed with caution, in your private life and at work.

AquariusJan. 21 - Feb. 19Certain things are going out of your life and, if you are sensible, you will speed them on their way. The new is invariably more rewarding than the old.

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20The planets warn that your critical faculties are not what they should be at the moment, so try not to get too excited if certain people make you remarkable off ers.
