After being attacked andspending 36 hours in jail, alocal imam would like tosee change.
Usama Al-Atar, imam ofthe Islamic Shia Ithna-Ash-eri Association of Edmon-ton and a University ofAlberta researcher, recentlyreturned from a pilgrimagein Saudi Arabia.
While leading a groupprayer at a religious burialsite in the city of Medina on
Oct. 30, he was attacked bythe religious police becausethey didn’t like how he wassaluting the Prophet.
“I was strangled,” Al-Atartold reporters yesterday.“They grabbed me reallyheavy by the arms so myarms were injured.”
Al-Atar said he was alsonearly suffocated before be-ing charged with assault,transferred to the policeand held in a cell with 40others.
He credits the IslamicHuman Rights Commis-sion, along with the work
and prayer of many others,for his release.
It would have happenedsooner though, if Canadahad a delegation for Mus-lim pilgrimages like manyother countries, said Al-
Atar.“I am offering the Cana-
dian government a gestureof goodwill to establishsuch a delegation,” he said,adding it would monitor ac-tivity and promote safety.
Usama Al-Atar was thrown in jail while praying in Medina last monthCanadian government, embassy could have done more, he says
Usama Al-Atar speaks to the media at a press conference yesterday, after returning to Edmonton on Friday. He and his wife, Dhamya, who have a five-year-old daughter, are expecting another child in the next couple of weeks.

Familiesflee homesas firespreadsTwo families are stayingelsewhere after a fireripped through their north-east Edmonton homes yes-terday.
Edmonton Fire Rescuewas called to 49 Street and152 Avenue at 5:45 a.m.
“There they found a fully-involved garage fire,” saidspokesperson DebiWinwood. “And from therethe fire spread to the adja-cent house and the housenext door.”
Investigators said the firewas caused by leakingpropane as someone triedto light a portable propanestove.
Three vehicles and twoother homes experienceddamage as well, bringingthe total to $1 million.
Despite how he was treat-ed, Al-Atar finished his pil-grimage, calling it a“spiritually cleansing jour-ney” providing him with“inner peace.”This was the ninth time he’s
attended Hajj, a traditionalIslamic pilgrimage held inthe last month of the Mus-lim calendar at holy shrines.Between three and four mil-lion people attend Hajjevery year, said Al-Atar, in-cluding between 7,000 and10,000 Canadians.

Occupy Edmonton wantsto clear up a mispercep-tion.
Of the core group ofregular campers at theJasper Avenue and 102Street site, five or six arefull-time students and an-other five leave daily forfull-time jobs, aspokesperson said.
“I am in my last year ofpolitical science and thenplan to go to law school,”said Mahad Mohamed, 23.
One member jugglingOccupy camp duties andworking full-time isBrooke B., a former chefat the Westin EdmontonHotel who now waits ta-bles at night.
She is also a mother oftwo and hung up herchef’s jacket — alongwith its 60-hour work-weeks — to raise her kids,who are aged nine and ayear and a half. She alsopays taxes.
Brooke said she wasbothered by commentsposted online in responseto a recent news story,saying the protestersshould all get jobs.
“It’s a logical fallacy,”Brooke said.
“But it’s frustrating ...We’re here holding thisground so we can get thismessage to more people.”
Now that the Occupysite is winterized, shestays full-time at thecamp with her partnerand kids.
“I’ve always felt thatthere were gross inade-quacies in our society.This movement just res-onated. It’s time,” shesaid.
Many protesters are educated, employed, spokesperson reiterates Some balance hectic work schedules with holding down camp

protesters have beenasked several times not tocamp overnight.
Police this weekend
required the campers tocheck on every member of

Melcor, tenantswant downtowncampsiteunoccupiedEdmonton police werenot expected to forciblyvacate Occupy Edmon-ton protesters lastnight, but landownerMelcor DevelopmentsLtd. still wants themgone.
“Many of our tenantsare not very happy atall,” CEO Ralph Youngsaid yesterday.
“We have receivedsome strongly wordedcomplaints. One said hewould leave thebuilding.”
Tents have been setup since Oct. 15 at apark site at 102 Streetand Jasper Avenue.
The company sent aneviction notice onFriday, demanding thatthe group be gone by 11 p.m. yesterday or be“subject to removal bylawful means.”
At a meeting on Sat-urday, the occupiersvoted to defy theeviction.
Young wouldn’t saywhether officers wouldcome and remove them.
“Anytime after (theeviction notice). It couldbe sooner, it could belater,” he said. “We’renot in any rush.”
In a release, Melcorsaid there has been “in-appropriate use and ac-tions in or around thesite” such as
harassment of tenantsand citizens, public uri-nation, open fires andmore.
Last week, the com-pany urged the group tonot start fires, andweather became a con-cern into the weekend.
Occupy spokespersonMahad Mohamed saidthe group is in contactwith fire marshals andpolice, and the area re-mains safe.
“We just are not see-ing any of thatevidence,” Young coun-tered.
Between 10 and 20people remain campedout in support of Occu-py Wall Street, whichbegan in New York Cityand has mushroomedinto a globalmovement.
Last week, authoritiescleared Zuccotti Park,the site of the New Yorkmovement, a scene thathas been playing outaround the world overthe past few days.
Civic authoritiesacross Canada are alsomoving to end the occu-pations.
Should the OccupyEdmonton campershave to leave, Mohamedsaid he and fellow occu-piers have discussedother sites such as thedowntown arena land.

Paying tribute to petsMusical manson
Adopted. Manson, a shep-ard/collie cross, wasbetween 12 and 18months of age whenJoseph Lai adopted her.
Lifetime. Lai dedicatedthree compositions toManson in her lifetime.
Performance. When Lairehearsed for a semifinalperformance at the 2000Resound ConcertoCompetition at the Win-spear, Manson wasallowed to accompanyhim on stage.
Dog. Manson is also theonly dog to have attendeda dress rehearsal as a ded-icatee of honour at theKing’s University College.
Family comes in manyforms, sometimes withfour legs and fur.
And because of whatpets can mean to their hu-man companions in a life-time, their death can havea lasting impact.
To honour the loss of hisown dog, Edmonton com-poser Joseph Lai held a petmemorial concert yester-day at Holy Trinity Angli-can Church, raising morethan $500 for the Edmon-ton Humane Society.
“I think it’s importantbecause, for example, Man-son was my first dog,” saidLai, who played the pianofor the crowd of nearly 30people. “And the loss, espe-
cially for people that don’thave children like me, theloss is tremendous.”
Lai adopted Manson —or as he likes to say, whenshe adopted him — in Au-gust of 1996. She passed
away on Nov. 22, 2010, atnearly 16 years of age.
Lai, who now has a newseven-month-old puppy,said “the pain was incredi-ble.
“It’s a vital loss.”

A military veteran whowent on a four-day hungerstrike this month sayshe’s worried the federalgovernment still won’tgive him the treatment herequires.
Pascal Lacoste stoppedstarving himself after Vet-erans Affairs MinisterSteven Blaney arrangedfor him to meet with spe-cialists.
Blaney also agreed tocreate a new committee tostudy veterans’ health.
Lacoste says he and oth-er soldiers were contami-nated by depleteduranium while serving inBosnia in the 1990s.
The 38-year-old metwith the specialists lastFriday and he’s planningto go to a clinic in Montre-al for testing later thismonth.
But Lacoste says hisown doctor already con-ducted tests showing anunusually high level ofuranium and he’s skepti-cal the government willgive him the care he re-quires.
Blaney’s spokesmansays he’s hopeful Lacostewill accept the treatmentoffered to him.
In an email, Jean-Christophe de le Rue saidthe care Lacoste is beingoffered “responds to hispersonal and immediateneeds.” The committee,comprised of academics,medical researchers andsoldiers, will be set up byDec. 8 and the first topicof study will be depleteduranium.
Lacoste blames his poorhealth, which includeschronic pain and a degen-erative neurological disor-der, on depleted-uraniumpoisoning.THE CANADIAN PRESS
A California universityplaced two of its police offi-cers on administrativeleave yesterday because oftheir involvement in thepepper spraying of passive-ly sitting protesters, whilethe school’s chancellor ac-celerated a task force’s in-vestigation into theincident amid calls for herresignation.
The president of the 10-campus University of Cali-fornia system also weighedin on the growing falloutfrom Friday’s incident atUC Davis, saying that he is“appalled” at images of stu-dents being doused withpepper spray and plans afar-reaching, urgent assess-ment of law-enforcement
procedures on all campus-es.
“I implore students whowish to demonstrate to doso in a peaceful and lawfulfashion. I expect campusauthorities to honour thatright,” UC president MarkG. Yudof said. All 10 chan-cellors would convene soonfor a discussion “about howto ensure proportional law-enforcement response tonon-violent protest,” hesaid.
Officials at UC Davis re-fused to identify the two of-ficers who were placed onadministrative leave butone was a veteran of manyyears on the force and oth-er “fairly new” to the de-partment, the school’s
police Chief AnnetteSpicuzza told The Associat-ed Press. She would notelaborate further becauseof the pending probe.
Videos posted online ofthe incident clearly showone riot-gear-clad officerdousing the line of protest-ers with spray as they sit ina line with their arms inter-twined.
Both officers weretrained in the use of pepperspray as department policydictates, and both had beensprayed with it themselvesduring training, the chiefnoted. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

People fear stalwarts of Mubarak’s party could win seats in electionsConcern over plan to shield military from any civilian oversight
A protester gestures during clashes with Egyptian riot police,

TARA TODRAS-WHITEHILL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Egyptian soldiers and po-lice set fire to protest tentsin Cairo’s Tahrir Squareand fired tear gas and rub-ber bullets in a major as-sault yesterday to drive outthousands demanding thatthe military rulers quicklytransfer power to a civiliangovernment. At least 11protesters were killed andhundreds were injured.
It was the second day ofclashes marking a sharpescalation of tensions onEgypt’s streets a week be-fore the first electionssince the ouster of long-time authoritarian leaderHosni Mubarak in Febru-ary. The military took overthe country, promising aswift transition to civilianrule. But the pro-democra-cy protesters who led theuprising have grown in-creasingly angry with theruling generals, and sus-pect they are trying tocling to power even afteran elected parliament isseated and a new presidentis voted in.
Street battles continuedthroughout the day andlong into the night,
spreading to side streetsand sending a wave of in-juries to makeshift clinicson the streets.
The military-backedCabinet said in a state-ment that elections set tobegin on Nov. 28 wouldtake place on time andthanked the police fortheir “restraint,” languagethat is likely to enrage theprotesters even more.
“We're not going any-where,” protester Mo-hammed Radwan saidafter security forces triedunsuccessfully to push thecrowds out of Tahrir, the
epicenter of the uprising.“The mood is good nowand people are chantingagain,” he added aftermany of the demonstra-tors returned.
The two days of clasheswere some of the worstsince the uprising endedon Feb. 11.
They were also one ofonly a few violent con-frontations to involve thepolice since the uprising.The black-clad police werea hated symbol ofMubarak's regime and af-ter the uprising, they havelargely stayed in the back-ground while the militarytook charge of security.
The military, whichtook over from Mubarak,has repeatedly pledged tohand power to an electedcivilian government, buthas yet to set a specificdate. The protests over thepast two days have de-manded a specific date beset.
According to onetimetable floated by thearmy, the handover willhappen after presidentialelections late next year orearly in 2013. The protest-ers say this is too long andaccuse the military of drag-ging its feet. They want ahandover immediately af-ter the end of the stag-gered parliamentaryelections, which begin onNov. 28 and end in March.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Indian-born, Cana-dian-raised entrepreneursare behind the productdubbed the world’s cheap-est tablet computer, sched-uled to be released in Indiawithin weeks.
They say the beauty ofUbiSlate, an Android-basedtablet, is that users will beable to obtain quality Inter-net access using existinglow-speed cellphone net-works.
That means farmers be-ing able to access theweather forecast; India’sarmy of small-businessowners having access to

Rocket-propelled grenadesstruck the headquarters ofSyria’s ruling party yester-day, bringing the violencethat has engulfed much ofthe country to the heart ofits capital for the first time,activists said.
The attack on the build-ing in Syria’s capital ofDamascus apparentlycaused no damage or casu-alties. But if true, it wouldmark a significant shift in
the eight-month uprisingagainst President Bashar al-Assad. Until now, the capi-tal has remained relativelyuntouched.
The pre-dawn attackawoke many Syrians whoreported hearing two loudblasts, but details could notbe confirmed. The foreignminister denied an attackhad taken place, and Syriantelevision broadcast footageof the building looking un-
damaged.The Free Syrian Army, a
group of military defectors,claimed responsibility,highlighting the growingmilitarization of the revoltfollowing months of largelypeaceful protests.
“This is an escalationthat would signal a newphase in the Syrian upris-ing,” said Thabet Salem, aDamascus-based analyst. “Itgives a new dimension to
the whole situation, whichhad been so far restricted to(government) action and re-action from the opposi-tion,” he said.
Syria has placed severerestrictions on the work ofjournalists, making it ex-tremely difficult to confirmevents. The country’s em-battled but defiant presi-dent vowed to pursue hisbloody crackdown on dis-sent. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Grenades hit Syria’s ruling party headquarters
An exit poll said Spain’sopposition conservativesscored a landslide win tooust the ruling Socialists ingeneral elections yesterdaythat were dominated by astaggering unemploymentrate and Europe’s debt cri-sis.
The Popular Party led byMariano Rajoy has won anabsolute majority in parlia-ment, according to theTNS-Demoscopia survey bySpain’s state-run televi-sion, obtaining between181 and 185 seats, com-pared to 154 in the last leg-islature. A majority in the350-seat lower chamber is176.
“The political changeled by Mariano Rajoy haswon tonight in Spain,” PPcampaign manager AnaMato said, although shestopped short of declaringoutright victory.
The Socialists, saddledby a stagnant economy anda 21.5 per cent jobless rate,plummeted from 169 seatsto between 115 and 119seats, according to the poll,which gave no margin oferror.
Pre-election polls hadpointed to a crushing winfor the conservatives, withSpanish voters expected topunish the Socialists for ajobless rate that the gov-ernment itself has said willtake years to chip backdown to even the upperteens.
If Rajoy does win, it willcome after two electionbid losses — in 2000 and2004 — and present himwith the daunting chal-lenge of resurrecting aneconomy that posted nogrowth in the third quarterof this year.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A U.S. woman who wantedto work at a nightclubstarted searching for some-one who could performplastic surgery at a cheapprice to give her a curvierbody. Police say what shefound was a woman posingas a doctor who filled herbuttocks with cement,mineral oil and flat-tiresealant.
The suspect, Oneal RonMorris, 30 — who policesay was born a man andidentifies as a woman —was arrested Friday after ayear on the lam and hasbeen charged with practis-ing medicine without a li-cence with serious bodilyinjury.
Police photos show Mor-ris as a small-framed
woman with bee-stungpouty lips, arched eye-brows, oversized hoop ear-rings — and a largebackside. She was releasedfrom jail on bond. A phonelisting for Morris could notbe found, and it’s unclear ifshe has an attorney.
Miami Gardens PoliceSgt. Bill Bamford said yes-terday that Morris bouncedfrom house to house for ayear, driving a black Mer-cedes and staying out of in-vestigators’ sight “like aghost.”
An officer drove by oneof those possible housesnearly every day on his wayto work and saw the caroutside on Friday, and hearrested Morris soon after.
The victim, who is not
being named due to med-ical privacy laws, paid $700for a series of injections inMay 2010. She was referredto Morris by a friend.
Bamford said the victimwas reluctant to come for-ward. She quickly went totwo South Florida hospitalsdue to severe abdominalpain and infected sores onher buttocks accompaniedby flu-like symptoms. Butshe left each time, too em-barrassed to tell doctorswhat she’d done.
Her mother eventuallytook her to a hospital onFlorida’s west coast, wherealarmed doctors pressedher for information. Theyalerted the Department ofHealth.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Residents of a London,Ont., street were “con-cerned and uneasy” yes-terday after policetargeted the neighbour-hood for what’s believedto be a new Hells Angelsfoothold in the city.
Police were stoppingall cars on the street onSaturday as part of the in-vestigation, a residentsaid. The “spot check”was designed to identify“Ontario MotorcycleGang members and tocheck the safety of theirmotor vehicles,” policesaid in a statement.
The statement did notindicate what led to thepolice action.
“Despite their rhetoricthat they are motorcycleenthusiasts, police en-forcement initiativesmake it clear that outlawmotorcycle gang mem-bers are involved indrugs, weapons, and vio-lence-related offences,”the police statement said.“Two court rulings sup-port the fact that theHells Angels are a crimi-nal organization.”
Neighbours said themotorcycle club has oc-cupied a house on thestreet for about sixweeks. There have beenno signs of criminal ac-tivity, but the Outlaws —another motorcycle club— are believed to have aclubhouse four blockseast.
Some neighbours saythey’re worried about apossible turf war.
The Hells Angels housedoesn’t necessarily standout when compared withothers on the street. Afive-foot wooden fencecircles the perimeter ofthe property, and thedriveway is gated. A signadvising people to usethe side entrance is post-ed on the front door.
Police believe thesouthwestern Ontariocity is home to 13 HellsAngels members and oneprospect. The club wasbasically cleared out ofthe city in 2008 when po-lice seized their club-house at anotherlocation.

Why did you decide towrite a second book?It was frustration. We’vegone backwards in thelast five to 10 years.

Tips from David
A relatively small cutbackin your spending can dra-matically increase saving.People who live withintheir means tend to behappier for the obvious reasons, but also becausethey are not consumedwith consumption.We tend to judge peoplenot by their net worth, butby the amount of their material possessions.Free flights earnedthrough excessive loyaltyto credit card use are akinto the “free” hotel roomsoffered to heavy gamblers.Saying “I can’t afford it” isnot an admission offailure.Saving should come firstand borrowing later. ManyCanadians live it the other way round.Good savers have areas ofindulgence but know thathigh spending in one area requires discipline inothers.Stick to a balanced, diversi-fied financial portfolio andfocus on the long term.
We’re starting to spendmore than ever and saveless.How is it different?It’s dated now at 22 years,but for the most part TheWealthy Barber wasconventional wisdom,repackaged in a formatthat made it more accessi-ble. This book is more myopinions and my observa-tions. This isn’t about thenumbers. Most of the mis-takes that people make arebecause they’re sabotagingtheir own situationsthrough psychologicalbreakdowns.What advice do you give?We can’t continue to paytwo and three per cent tomutual-fund-managementcompanies. They have theright to be profitable, butthey’re too profitable inCanada ... You’re not look-ing for anything for free,but it has to be at a morereasonable level. Thesecond piece of advice is toput up with the volatility.You can’t keep jumping inand out of the markets ...Inevitably you’re going tojump in and out of the mar-
kets at the wrong time. Alot of the most successfulinvestors that I run acrossdon’t pay any attention.What was most challengingabout writing the book?On stage when you use hu-mour, you can use intona-tion and facial expressions.When you take that awayand use only the printedpage, it’s way harder. Occa-sionally I would writesomething down I thoughtwas funny. I would read itto someone on the phoneand they’d think it was fun-ny, but I’d have someoneread it and they’d say, “Idon’t think it’s funny.”Why does the format work?Short chapters and a lot ofhumour. We’ve seen such adifference in the past 15years in terms of people’sattention spans. They’re sotrained to want things inshort bursts. Long, text-heavy books don’t work.When it comes to finance,where people areintimidated to begin with,if you throw 38 pages atthem without a breakthey’re never going to getthrough it.

Canadian cheese lovers,Marianne Renaut feels yourpain.
The Belgian-born Quebe-cer is shocked by the highprice of Canadian dairy, andgrocery store trips rekindlea longing for the bargainsavailable in Europe.
So what’s the story withCanadian grocery prices? Itbegins with supply man-agement.
The system is a hidden,ubiquitous part of everydaylife. It affects the market forCanadian milk, cheese, yo-gurt, chicken and eggs —which can be vastly moreexpensive here than in theU.S., with the gap widen-ing, according to the OECD.
A staple of the ruraleconomy, it’s now the sub-ject of a heated debate,amid international free-trade talks and growingdoubt about its future.
The decades-old systemwas designed to protectCanadian farmers fromvolatile market fluctuationswith made-in-Canada mini-
mum prices. It also imposestariff controls on foreigncompetition and sets quo-tas for domestic producers.
Critics say it artificiallydrives up prices at the cash
register and limits innova-tion. Farmers, meanwhile,argue that it preserves theirway of life and cross-borderprice comparisons only tellpart of the story.
News last week that thefederal government mightface pressure to abandon itduring negotiations for atrans-Pacific trade zone cre-ated political sparring. Butthe protectionist system ap-pears secure, at least in theshort term. THE CANADIAN PRESS

The next civic electionmight just be more interest-ing than the previous two.As anyone who is evenremotely interested in ourcivic government knows, it
is difficult to unseat an incumbent may-or or councillor.
If the universe unfolds as it issupposed to, Mayor Mandel will not berunning again. But he originally said hewould only run for two terms and he iscurrently serving his third, so one never
knows. Though I think it is a pretty safe bet that hewill not run again. I am sure that after nine years, he
will have had quiteenough of civic politics.Also, it would look like thedowntown arena and theLRT expansion were themajor reasons he decidedto run the last time. Iwould suspect those issueswill have been put to bedby the time the next elec-tion rolls around.
Don Iveson, one of thepeople who some speculat-ed would run for mayor,has indicated he won’t bedoing so. That is going tomake for a wide-open con-test. So who would youlike to see run for mayor?
Some people are goingto push Kerry Diotte to doso. He has been vociferousin his criticism of how thecity is run. However, he isin his first term and mayor may not be able to puttogether a team that canraise enough money tomount a credible
campaign. Running for mayor isn’t cheap. As I recall,Mandel raised about $750,000 for his campaign. That’snot chump change in anybody’s book.
One of the things that makes running for civicoffice difficult is that contributions to a civic-electioncampaign aren’t tax deductible the way they are forprovincial and federal elections. That means that thereal money comes only from individuals and organiza-tions that see a clear advantage to having a particularcandidate in the mayor’s seat. In most instances, it hasbeen developers that have put up most of the cash.
We could of course see someone who is not current-ly on council decide to run for mayor. If that is thecase, one can only hope it is someone who can articu-late a clear vision and direction for our city. We needsomeone who cannot only identify a destination forEdmonton but who can also lay out the route for get-ting there. Who do you think could do that?

Only 70 per cent saidthey’re very likely tocheck the forecast on atypical day and only 63per cent said the forecastis important to them.
And while 79 per centof Canadians thought it’s important that meteorologists be rightabout how much it’s going to snow, that wasdown five percentagepoints from 2002.

Caribou playpeekabooA vast herd of northern caribou thatscientists feared had vanished fromthe face of the Earth has been found,safe and sound — pretty much whereaboriginal elders said it would be allalong.
“The Beverly herd has notdisappeared,” said John Nagy, lead author of a recently published studythat has biologists across the North relieved.
Those scientists were shaken by a2009 survey on the traditional calving
grounds of the Beverly herd. A herdthat once numbered 276,000 animalsseemed to have completelydisappeared, the most dramatic andchilling example of a general declinein barren-ground caribou.
But Nagy’s research — and consultation with the communitiesthat live with the animals —concludes differently.
It turns out that the Beverly herdhas simply shifted its calving grounds.
Nunavut government biologistMitch Campbell said a survey suggestsBeverly numbers remain healthy.
While scientists are excited, aborigi-nal elders are more likely to shrug.
Next time scientists should paythem a little more mind, Campbellsaid. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Mike White and Laura Dern are co-creators of
Enlightened, which airs Mondays on HBO Canada.
KEVIN WINTER/GETTY IMAGES
Hoping to Enlighten viewersSeries gains fan base Waiting on word if renewed for another season
It’s ironic but the personalmeltdown that accompa-nied the cancellation ofMike White’s last series,Cracking Up, led thewriter and actor to his lat-est acclaimed TV show.
“I had TV experiencesthat have been reallypainful in that you killyourself and then theybury the show,” said theSchool of Rock writer/starrecently about returningto television with Enlight-ened.
“Sometimes the hardestpart is going back to reallife and try to put theseidealistic notions intopractice and I think that’ssort of the spirit of whatthe show is.”
Co-created with LauraDern, the HBO series ex-
amines a woman who re-turns to her corporatelifestyle with a new-agelease on life after having avery public breakdown atthe office.
Like many of White’smore independent films(such as Chuck & Buck),the comedy has a melan-cholic subtlety.
“Because the characterisn’t an every-person, youkind of have to decide tofollow her,” said White.
“The cool part of TV isthat you can continue tounfold a story and show a
character in all of its di-mensions and I think thathopefully the quality ofthe show will keep peoplecoming back to it.”
Enlightened has beensteadily gaining fans andas White waits to hearwhether the series (whichairs Mondays on HBOCanada) will be renewedfor another season, he re-mains unsure of whetheranother meltdown is alsoon the horizon.
“(I’m) facing it with amixture of anticipation,excitement and kind of

How does Oscar-nominat-ed actor Danny Aiello com-municate with his ninegrandchildren? Throughrap music.
The 78-year-old said hisgrandchildren love hissinging but couldn’t re-member his songs until headded rap.
“They went crazy over it(and) now they know allthe words to the entiresongs,” he said.
Aiello, nominated for abest supporting actor Os-car for Spike Lee’s 1989film, Do the Right Thing,recently released his newalbum, Bridges.
It’s a collaborative ef-fort with rapper-song-writer Damon Hasan, whohas produced music forMariah Carey, Mary J.Blige, Destiny’s Child andJennifer Lopez.
It seems like your grandchil-dren were a big part in themaking of this album.I utilize my grandchildrenas my barometer for mysuccess ... so my feelingwas that it would be won-derful for me to do classicstandards and put rap to itbecause the children of to-day are loving rap; I’mtalking all colours, all reli-
gions, all nationalities loverap.
Do you have a new respectfor rap?I’m not into gangster rap,you know. I’m not intothat. I’d have to say thebeat, if I didn’t accept the
beat I would be a completeidiot because the beat isexciting. But the words it-self are somewhat, for themost part, offensive to me.
What do you get creatively inmusic that you don’t get inacting?
I’ve sung in movies ...singing in movies is quiteeasy because you’re doingit as a character. ... Butwhen you’re on the stagesinging as Danny Aiello,you are Danny Aiello ... soit’s a little more frighten-ing. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Is Moore into women?Sources say Ashton and Demi had an ‘open marriage’ for years
Ashton Kutch-er’s alleged in-fidelity mayhave been thelast straw inhis marriageto DemiMoore, but
sources tell Star magazinethat the pair’s rumoured“open marriage” hadbeen a strain for years.
“Everyone in Holly-wood knows about theirarrangement, but they’vemanaged to keep it a se-cret from the general pub-lic,” a source claims.
“Demi is attracted towomen just as much asmen, so she didn’t alwaysget all she needed fromAshton. She was cool withAshton having flirtatious
relationships, too. Somehow they made it
work all these years. Bothof them were respectfulof each other. It was a lotof fun for them.”
But Kutcher’s pair ofcheating scandals, includ-
ing his reported tryst witha young woman duringhis and Kutcher’s sixthanniversary, were appar-ently too much for Moore,who filed for divorce latelast week.
What PR person leaked
that crazy information? Because, yeah, every-
one knows so many mar-riages are broken upbecause the wife is hot,likes threesomes and is“cool” with outsidearrangements.
What horror that musthave been for Kutcher!How he survived, I haveno idea.

Mariah Carey and Nick Can-non caused a stir recentlywhen they created demba-bies.com, a website dedicat-ed to their newborn twinsMoroccan and Monroe.
But the Carey-Cannons
are not the only family giv-ing their kids an onlinepresence at such an earlyage. Babies are now onTwitter and YouTube.
The average child’s ‘digi-tal birth’ is at about sixmonths old, according to aglobal report by Internet se-curity specialist AVG. But 33per cent of photos of chil-dren posted are just weeks
after their birth, and almosta quarter have a digital foot-print before they’re evenborn, with sonogram pho-tos. A massive 81 per centof children have a digitalprofile by age two.
“Parents should bear inmind that as soon as theypost something online it isoften impossible to removeit,” warns Pamela Whitby,
author of Is Your Child SafeOnline? A Parent’s Guide Tothe Internet, Facebook, Mo-bile Phones & Other NewMedia. “By creating a digitalpresence for your child at ayoung age you may be com-promising their privacy.”
Dangers include misap-propriation of photos andidentity theft if too manydetails are revealed, says

Imagine a gala awards cer-emony, where the best andbrightest minds in theCanadian clean-tech fieldare brought together tocelebrate progress andachievement.
But, there’s a twist. Thewinners are swept away toan exclusive island yachtclub – and told they can’tleave until they create alist of 50 innovative andpractical green ideas.
This is not fiction, folks.It happened – very recent-ly. And the result? TheClean50 Summit’s list of50 great ideas.
“We determined thereare all kinds of awards forcompanies that have donelots of good things, butthere were no awards forindividuals,” says GavinPitchford, founder/princi-pal of Delta ManagementGroup Corporation, whichorganized the event.
The 50 honourees came
from a wide range of back-grounds. Clean-tech, retail,banks, universities — evenbig oil companies. Andonce they all met and start-ed debating the future,there was a surprisinglyhigh level of consensus.
“This is the first timeit’s ever happened, any-where in the world,” Pitch-ford says. “What wasphenomenal was that a lot
Clean-tech charts the future for entrepreneurial-driven change Summit’s results already being put to use

of them had never talkedto people from the othersectors before. They’d sortof been greening theirown little part of theworld, but hadn’t crossedover.”
One of the ideas includea call for governments tostop taxing initiatives thatare good for the environ-ment.
“It’s possible to expenseyour employee’s car and
parking — but not theirbike without them havingto take a tax hit for it,” heexplains. “The governmentwill let you spend moneyon things that have unde-sirable outcomes — likedriving to work. But theywon’t fix some of the oth-er stuff.”
It turns out Canada is al-ready a global leader inclean technology, and noteveryone knows it.
“We have such a power-ful clean-tech industry inCanada. It’s entrepreneur-ial-driven. We’re absoluteleaders in this field in theworld and I don’t thinkthat a lot of people on thecorporate side really ap-preciate it. These business-es and these opportunitiesexist in this country.”
The Clean50 summitboosted awareness. Manyof the ideas are already be-
ing pitched to govern-ments.
“Yes, we’ve heard a lotof these ideas before. Butwe haven’t done themyet,” Pitchford concludes.“It would be a real shameto lose this. So we decidedto keep going with it – andthat’s what’s happening.”

What remedies do you suggest for cleaning the toilet? Nancy of Winnipeg
DavidSuzuki Foundation
You must trymy greencleaningrecipe, calledall-purpose
powder. It’s very easy tomake — it only takes twoingredients.
In a container, combinea 50:50 mixture of boraxand washing soda. Stir andthen sprinkle into toilet,scrub and rinse.
This recipe works wellwith a white vinegar chas-er, too.
Don’t add vinegar to thepowder.
Instead, after scrubbing,pour about half a cup ofwhite vinegar in the toilet.
Let it sit to disinfect anddeodorize before flushing.
Add borax and washingsoda to your next grocerylist — they’re key ingredi-ents in most of myfavourite green cleaningrecipes, available atqueenofgreen.ca.
Borax, or sodium borate,is a naturally occurring al-kaline mineral salt.
It’s effective because itdisinfects, fights mouldand mildew and whitens.
You can find a box, forabout $7, in the laundry
aisle of most grocerystores.
Most people will recog-nize the borax box fromtheir grandmother’spantry.
Washing soda, or sodi-um carbonate, is morecaustic and has a higher pHthan its cousin, baking so-da.
Fewer mainstream gro-cery chains carry washingsoda, although Arm andHammer distributes it.
If you can’t find it atyour local grocer in thelaundry aisle, check outhealth food stores or organ-ic grocers.
Borax and washing sodaare found in a host of greencleaning recipes becausethey are versatile, afford-able and eco-friendly.
But even things from na-ture can be harmful, sostore borax and all greencleaning products safelyaway from children and
pets. Finished products you
make should also be clearlylabelled.
And don’t underesti-mate baking soda, whichon its own lifts dirt, de-odorizes and whitens. Youcan even substitute wash-ing soda for baking soda inthis recipe.

Dr. Jane Foley is a leading U.S. educator who, as senior vice-president of the Milken FamilyFoundation, motivates other teachers to do better Here are her thoughts on the smart debate
The teacher says…
How do you define smart?I’d define it in a number ofways. First of all, it’s under-standing history and howhistory shapes the presentand future. Next, it’s thepresent: knowing theworld around you,physically, but also beyondyour surroundings and ac-cepting and appreciatingthat we live in this globalworld. It’s also importantto understand math,science and language, butalso how you apply that inyour daily and professionallife. And then how toaccess information and dis-cern the value of thatinformation since we’rebombarded by infooverload.
Is the definition of ‘smart’changing?Yes. Exponentially, and at arate faster than we’ve seenin our lifetime. We see ourstudents preparing nowfor a life where we don’teven know what their ca-reer will be, so access tothis information — it’schanging the way all of us
have to think, learn andwork.
We value ‘book smarts’ butnow there seems to be an ad-ditional set of skills requiredto make it in this world.It’s a hybrid. We want tolearn the classics — thepast — and our currentculture — the present —but we have to evolve withthe changes. Books can behard copies or digital, e-mail, social media, byphone like we’re talkingnow, or a face-to-face meet-ing. I go to a lot of universi-ties in my job and peoplestill go to libraries! There’sstill a lust for knowledge.
But some kids don’t readMoby-Dick yet they’re onGoogle+. Doesn’t that give
them the advantage in 2011?First of all, some do readMoby-Dick! Do they havean advantage? I don’tthink you can compare.Think of every generation
and what they faced. Myparents faced WWII, a lotof us lived through theending of the Cold War,now young people are digi-tal natives. The common
denominator is talentedpeople rise to the occasionand lead. The difference to-day is that it’s essential forthem to have a nationaland international focus. “We see our
students preparingnow for a life wherewe don’t even knowwhat their careerwill be.”DR. JANE FOLEY

Now the Blue Bombersrunning back has a chanceto accomplish that afterrushing 29 times for 190yards and one touchdownas Winnipeg defeated theHamilton Tiger-Cats 19-3 inyesterday’s CFL East Divi-
sion Final.Winnipeg advances to
the 99th Grey Cup in Van-
couver on Nov. 27 againstthe B.C. Lions.
“It’s getting closer andcloser to being true,” Gar-rett said of the dreamwhere he scores a pair oftouchdowns. “But there’ssome work to be done toget to that stage. I’m justready to work so I can getthere.”
Defensive lineman Jason
Vega scored Winnipeg’sother touchdown as a re-ceiver and Justin Palardybooted field goals from 22and 37 yards.
It was the rookie Vega’ssecond reception this sea-son and his first career TDwill go down as a three-yardpass from backup quarter-back Alex Brink.THE CANADIAN PRESS
Bombers run away with East title
Blitzes, pressure and a sec-ondary that wouldn’t givein.
It was too much for Ed-monton quarterback RickyRay yesterday as the B.C. Li-ons beat the Eskimos 40-23in the CFL West final.
“We turned the footballover when we had an op-portunity to inch back,”said Ray, who threw threeinterceptions and whoseclub trailed by scores of 33-6 and 40-16 late in thegame.
“There was a lot of playsout there that we didn’tmake and they did.”
Ray was sacked at key
times by nose tackle KhalifMitchell and defensive backAnthony Reddick and alsohad to hurry throws ordump the ball out ofbounds.
“They’re a good front,they’re able to get a lot of
pressure,” said Ray, whocompleted 21-of-40 passesfor 297 yards — much ofthem late in the gamewhen the issue was decided.
Ray reached the 40,000-yard passing plateau duringthe season and is now 6-3 asa playoff starter
“They do a good job ofmixing in some blitzes tokeep you off balance andthey just make it tough onyou all night,” he said.
“That’s why they’rewhere they’re at.”
Where the Lions are at isat home for Sunday’s GreyCup game against the Win-nipeg Blue Bombers, who
bested the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 19-3 in the East final.
Veteran defensive backKorey Banks set the tonewith a fillings-popping tack-le on Eskimo receiver FredStamps, the only CFL all-star on the Edmonton ros-ter compared with nine forB.C.
Banks said the hit was in-tended to send an earlymessage.
“Big-time players showup for big-time games,” saidBanks. “I live for momentslike this, playing againstgreat receivers, that’s whatfootball’s about.”THE CANADIAN PRESS
Crosby toreturn vs.Isles tonightSid the Kid is back.
Penguins superstar Sid-ney Crosby will make hisseason debut tonightagainst the New YorkIslanders in Pittsburgh, hisfirst game in nearly a yearsince being sidelined withconcussion symptoms.
Crosby hasn’t playedsince taking head shots inconsecutive games in Janu-ary against Washingtonand Tampa Bay.
The 2007 NHL MVPspent the last 10 monthsundergoing a painstakinglythorough rehabilitationthat left him wonderingwhen — or even if — he’dplay again.
His return ends weeks ofspeculation that appearedto put the ever-polite Cros-by on edge. The 24-year-oldCole Habour, N.S., nativedeclined repeatedinterview requests inrecent weeks as the specu-lation about a possible re-turn date reached a feverpitch.
His teammates stressedthere was no need for Cros-by to rush, and thePenguins have been one ofthe league’s top teamsthrough the season’s firstsix weeks.
Yet they understandthey’re not the same with-out Crosby.
“We know what hemeans to this team, thiscity,” defenceman KrisLetang said. “He’s a specialplayer.” THE CANADIAN PRESS
