Norway’s population is sosmall that when Ottawaresident Mark Senn firstheard about the bombblast and youth campshooting spree in thenorthern European coun-try, his thoughts went im-mediately to a friend withfour kids who lives out-side Oslo.

“I spoke with Niels thismorning to ensure thingswere fine and they are,but he’s still trying to un-derstand why this hap-pens,” said Senn whowent to the NorwegianEmbassy in Ottawa yester-day to sign a book of con-dolence opened there formembers of the public to

express their sympathy. The embassy opened its

doors to the public for twohours and will open againtoday between noon and 2p.m.

Senn said he was sur-prised to learn that hisfriend’s family didn’tknow any of the victims ofthe attack. He said hehopes the incident doesn’tchange Norwegian socie-ty.

“It’s very difficult to un-derstand how one person could have thatmuch hate,” said Senn.

Jo Sletbak, deputy head

of mission at the embassy,said the response fromCanadians has been“heartwarming.”

“Norwegians and Cana-dians share a lot of thesame values. Outside theembassy people have leftflowers. There are peoplewho have left flowers atthe residence,” said Slet-bak, adding the incidenthit Canadians, perhaps be-cause of the countries’shared values.

“Canadians show it and that’s very good andcomforting for us” saidSletbak.

The self-described perpe-trator of Norway’s deadlybombing and shootingrampage was ordered heldin isolation at a hearingyesterday after calmlytelling the court that twoother groups of alliesstand ready to join hismurderous campaign.

Anders Behring Breivikhas admitted bombingNorway’s capital andopening fire on a politicalyouth group retreat on anisland near the capital. Hetold authorities he expectsto spend the rest of his lifein prison. Saying he want-ed to save Europe fromMuslim immigration, heentered a plea of notguilty that will guarantee

him future court hearingsand opportunities to ad-dress the public, even indi-rectly.

Police believe Breivikacted alone, despite hisgrand claims in a 1,500-

page manifesto that he be-longed to a modern groupof crusaders. But they havenot completely ruled outthat he had accomplices.

Judge Kim Heger or-dered Breivik held foreight weeks, includingfour in isolation.

Research In Motion will cut2,000 jobs, or about 11 percent of its global workforce,this year to reduce costs inthe competitive smart-phone and tablet markets,in which consumers are in-creasingly turning to Appleand Android products.

The BlackBerry makerprovided the details yester-day, about a month afterannouncing it would re-duce its workforce after ithad lower BlackBerrysmartphone sales in the re-cent financial quarter.

The cuts are the largestin the Canadian technologyicon’s history.

“The workforce reduc-tion is believed to be a pru-dent and necessary step forthe long-term success of thecompany,” RIM said in astatement.

“It follows an extendedperiod of rapid growthwithin the company where-

by the workforce had near-ly quadrupled in the lastfive years alone.”

In afternoon trading onthe Toronto Stock Ex-change, RIM’s shares weredown $1.28, or 4.8 per cent,at $25.19.

RIM, based in Waterloo,Ont., has about 19,000 em-ployees. Those in NorthAmerica will begin to re-ceive notices this week.Workers in other countrieswill be told at a later date.

RIM is facing a host ofcompetition in the smart-phone market from Apple’siPhone and smartphonesusing Google’s Android op-erating system.

Its PlayBook tablet,which met expectations ofselling 500,000 in the re-cent quarter, has receivedlukewarm reviews com-pared with Apple’s iPad.

“If they want to be a top-three or top-five smart-

phone player, then theyhave to much more aggres-sively spend money in theconsumer market,”said an-alyst Alkesh Shah of Ever-core Partners.

“They have to create adifferentiated consumermessage,” Shah said fromNew York.

There aren’t enough rea-sons for consumers to buy aBlackBerry smartphone ortablet over Apple or An-droid products, he said, sug-gesting RIM could promoteits security feature, valuedby business users, to a con-sumer audience.THE CANADIAN PRESS

WEIRD NEWS

This is how youend up wakingup in VegasOne day in the spring of 1979, ArthurGerald Jones, a well-connected Chica-go financier and father of three, lefthis posh home to run an errand andvanished, never to return.

Despite the FBI’s best efforts to fig-ure out what happened to the power-ful commodity trader, no trace wasever found of Jones. In 1986, an Illinoiscourt declared him dead, and social se-curity paid $47,000 in survivor

benefits to his wife and children.But late last week, the shroud of

mystery enveloping the 32-year-oldcase was suddenly pulled back whenJones, now 72, was discovered living inLas Vegas, where he has been workingas a bookie at a casino.

According to a court affidavit, Jonestold a special investigator with the So-cial Security Administration that hehad a seat on the Chicago Board ofTrade as a commodities trader, but wasforced to sell his seat to pay off a debtincurred when he made a trading er-ror. He lost his job in the process and,fearing what investigators have specu-lated may have been relations with theChicago mafia, Jones decided to leavehis wife of 17 years and family.TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

TABLE FORTWO, PLEASE ...NON-CHILDREN

Earlier this month, I read anews story about a Pennsylva-nia restaurant owner who hasdecided to ban children underthe age of six at his establish-ment. While outraged parents

condemned the restaurant for discriminat-ing against their brood, some clientele wel-comed the new policy, breathing a heavysigh of relief knowing that their next $30entrée wouldn’t be served up with a side ofscreaming toddler.

Misbehaved children, and theirseemingly oblivious guardians, can reduce a pleasant din-ing experience to an evening of exasperated eye-rolling.There have been plenty of times that I’ve given up ondessert or another glass of wine in order to get away fromthe piercing sound of a four-year-old in the middle of a

temper tantrum.So should the parents of

these bratty customers bemore considerate of theirfellow patrons and leave thekids at home when diningout?

Some would argue thatparents should be entitledto enjoy a meal with theiroffspring without being sub-jected to dirty looks fromthe next table. However, inmy opinion, letting yourprecious angels run lapsaround the dining room orshriek hysterically while be-ing force-fed broccoli is in-excusable. If you areunwilling or unable to con-trol your children, youmight want to skip the high-end restaurants and opt fora Happy Meal instead.

Irresponsible parents andtheir squealing spawnshould be banished to fami-ly-friendly restaurants thatprovide crayons with their

kids’ menu. Sure, the food at these playground snack barsisn’t exactly top-notch, but you have to sacrifice a little ifyou want arcade games as an appetizer.

But while misbehaved tots can be a serious annoyance,I’ve seen plenty of adults over the years who are just asbad, if not worse, when it comes to mealtime manners.

Grown-ups should know better but often they don’t.They snap their fingers at the serving staff, request somany modifications they might as well eat at home andlinger at the table while a lineup stretches out the door. Ofcourse, the worst restaurant-goers are those who insist onconducting obnoxious cellphone conversations mid-mealwith no regard for their dinner date or the increasinglyannoyed patrons around them. The loudmouth suitscreaming into his BlackBerry is just as disruptive as thelittle ones shrieking over their vegetables. Small childrenmay not be ideal dinner companions, but there are alsoplenty of adults out there who could use a crash course indining etiquette.

Between last year’s theLosers, this year’s Thorand next year’s Ghost Rid-er: Spirit of Vengeance,British actor Idris Elbaseems to have a thing forcomic book adaptations.

But there’s still one su-perhero that’s eluded him:Avengers member LukeCage. Not that he’s com-plaining, mind you.

Between two Emmynominations, RidleyScott’s upcoming Alienprequel, Prometheus, andGuillermo del Toro’s Pacif-ic Rim, which starts shoot-ing in October, the formerWire star has plenty tokeep him busy.

Metro caught up withElba in the middle of theComic-Con madness for astatus update.

What are you most excited tosee or do while at Comic-Con?Dude, I don’t get to do any-thing. I do like seeing theaudience react to whatwe’ve got to show themfor Ghost Rider, because Ijust saw it and it’s phe-nomenal.

You’ve been doing very well with comic book movies lately.Well, two films, two char-acters, really. And the Los-ers as well.

I thought that film wasgood. It had a lot of oppor-tunity to be better — notbetter but more well re-

ceived. It didn’t quite do it,but I liked the film. Ithought it was well direct-ed. Sylvain White did that,and he’s great.

Speaking of comic book characters, you’vementioned wanting to playLuke Cage in a film.I’d like having a shot atthat. But listen, we need toknow there’s an appetitefor that. I need the audi-

ences that like Luke Cageto come up and say theywant to see a Luke Cagefilm with me in it.

I’m part of the Marvelfamily, and I think nowthey might be aware thatthere’s this little appetiteto do it, but at the sametime, I’m also part of theThor story, so we’ll see.

What can you tell us aboutPrometheus?

I have to say, it’s an enor-mous film — enormouslyrich in its depth, its com-plexity. The filmmaking issecond to none.

It’s none other than thegreat Ridley Scott, andthere are some really goodactors in it. I can say this:The wait for Ridley to re-turn to a film like that isdefinitely going to be re-warded with somethingexciting

You’ve had a few roles nowfor which people recognizeyou. What comes up most?The Wire, mainly. It wasmy first American callingcard. But now Luther isstarting to, and then Heim-dall [in Thor], believe it ornot. A lot of people are ac-tually like that. It’s a tinypart in that film — hugefilm, tiny part, but it defi-nitely has resonated withsome people.

An autopsy on singer AmyWinehouse Monday failedto determine what killedthe 27-year-old star, leavingfans and family with aweeks-long wait for the re-sults of toxicology tests.

Winehouse’s devastatedparents visited mournersoutside her north Londonhome to thank them fortheir support.

The singer, who hadstruggled with drug and al-cohol abuse for years, wasfound dead Saturday athome by a member of hersecurity team, who calledan ambulance. It arrivedtoo late to save her.

The Metropolitan Policesaid Monday that a forensic

post mortem “did not estab-lish a formal cause of deathand we await the results offurther toxicology tests.”Those are expected to taketwo to four weeks.

An inquest into thesinger’s death was openedand adjourned at London’sSt. Pancras Coroner’s Court.During the two-minutehearing, an official read out

the name, birth date andaddress of Winehouse, de-scribed as “a divorced ladyliving at Camden SquareNW1.”

“She was a singer song-writer at the time of herdeath and was identified byher family here at St. Pan-cras this morning,” saidcoroner’s officer SharonDuff.

Duff said the scene ofWinehouse’s death “was in-vestigated by police and de-termined non-suspicious.”

In Britain, inquests areheld to establish the factswhenever someone dies vi-olently or in unexplainedcircumstances. AssistantDeputy Coroner Suzanne

Greenaway saidWinehouse’s inquestwould resume on Oct.26.

The singer’s father,mother and brother visit-ed her home yesterday,stopping to inspect themounds of bouquets,candles and handwrit-ten notes across the roadfrom the Victorian house.

Her father, Mitch Wine-house, thanked mournersfor their tributes.

“I can’t tell you what this

means tous — it re-ally is

mak-

ing this a lot easier for us,”he said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

$22.95 (lush.com) Peel those kids away fromthe TV this summer.

A study conducted atQueen’s University inKingston, Ont., has foundthat children and adoles-cents who watched morethan four hours per day ofTV were 2.5 times morelikely to have heightenedrisks for chronic diseasethan those who watched

less than an hour per day. The study was looking

for cardio-metabolic riskfactors, which are signalsthat the body could beheading in the direction ofheart disease and type 2 di-abetes.

These included obesity,hypertension, fats in theblood and glucose intoler-ance.

“These risk factors arebecoming more prevalentin children and adoles-cents,” says Valerie Carson,

a PhD student in theschool of kinesiology andhealth studies, who waslead author on the paper.

“This particular studyfound the most significanthealth risk at greater thanfour hours per day (of TV).This is concerning becausethese risk factors can trackfrom childhood to adult-hood,” she adds.

Carson and her supervi-sor Ian Janssen, associateprofessor in the school ofkinesiology and health

studies at Queen’s, tookinto account age, gender,ethnicity, socioeconomicstatus, physical activitylevels and diet, and stilldrew the same conclusion.

“Even if children andadolescents are active, ifthey engaged in high dailyTV use, they may still havecardio-metabolic risk fac-tors,” says Carson.

For the study, she andDr. Janssen studied thehabits of 2,527 childrenand adolescents who were

enrolled in the NationalHealth and Nutrition Ex-amination Surveys(NHANES).

TV is really quitewicked: other studies havefound excessive screentime is linked to increasedviolence, negative self-im-age, and higher amountsof smoking, drinking anddrug use.

Carson’s article waspublished recently in thejournal BMC PublicHealth.

FIXING CROOKED TEETH IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC ISSUE

We all value a beautiful smile. You know the one! That wonderful look of a full set of straight, white teeth! A beautiful smile gives us confidence and allows us to display a more dynamic personality.

However, many people who do not have such straight teeth are reluctant to flash a big, confident smile. They become concerned about how their smile will be perceived and constantly strive to hide their teeth. Rightly or wrongly, they can be misjudged as not being friendly or being shy.

The improved confidence that comes with a more cosmetically appealing smile is one very good reason to correct crooked teeth. However, cosmetics are not the only concern. Crooked teeth can also have profound oral health implications.

For example, when teeth are not properly aligned, there is a tendency to develop an improper bite. When eating, the normal chewing motion can cause the teeth to grind against each other in an unnatural way. Over time, this can erode the enamel surface of the tooth, leaving that tooth more susceptible to decay.

Another factor to consider is that crooked teeth can be more difficult to keep clean. The bacteria that can lead to tooth decay or gum disease are microscopic

and can fit just about anywhere.

But your toothbrush and dental floss, the essential tools to keep your teeth clean, are much larger. Quite simply, no amount of brushing or flossing can clean what cannot be reached. If crowding is preventing you from properly cleaning your teeth, bacteria will accumulate and you can expect this to result in oral health problems.

Crooked or misaligned teeth can also lead to problems with the temporomandibular joint. This can result in muscle pain and tension that produces headaches.

The longer you allow this situation to continue, the more problematic it can become. So correcting it as early as possible can, quite literally, save you lots of headaches!

As you can see, it is not just for cosmetic reasons that we recommend you address crooked teeth. The exact nature of the required intervention can depend upon the cause and severity of the problem as well as the age of the patient. Your dentist may be able to correct the situation with relatively minor intervention. On the other hand, more serious cases may have to be referred to an orthodontist.

And while it is preferable to address these situations when a patient is young, do not assume that you have to accept your crooked teeth just because you are an adult! You might be pleasantly surprised at how your dentist can help no matter what your age!

The key is to fix the problem…not just for the cosmetic improvement that will result. Crooked teeth can create serious oral health concerns and correcting them is a healthy habit…and healthy habits lead to healthy lives.

A total brain, body collapseEd and Deb Shapiro, authors of Be the Change: How Meditation Can Transform You and the World, talk to us

about signs you’re having a nervous breakdown The signs of stress can mean something’s seriously wrong THINKSTOCK.COMThe signs

Irrational fear

“Fear, not based on

anything sane, is a hugesign. Fear of losing controlof the future, the inabilityto make simple decisions,

the loss of self-trust, notfeeling comfortable inyour own skin, all thesethings can amount to you

eventually losing theplot.”

Behavioural shifts

“Acting irritable, irrationaland experiencing suddenbursts of anger for no rea-son, are initial signs some-thing is up, as is lack ofconfidence, a sense of lowself-esteem, self-insecurityand a real shift inappetite, whether its overor under eating.”

Losing touch with reality

“A general loss of flow,such as getting in aconversation and notremembering what youwere talking about, can beworrying if consistent.The difference betweensomeone who is on theway to breaking and some-one who has already lost itis awareness. If you havereally gone to a darkplace, you will have lostthat self-awareness. Aslong as you think, ‘I’m go-ing crazy’ you are stillpresent. The person thatdoesn’t know is on to thenext stage, the actualbreakdown.”

ThesolutionsTake yourself for a date

“The mind is a perfect ser-vant, but a terrible master,so don’t allow it to takecontrol over you.Challenge yourself with aphysical activity you really

enjoy to get the mind todo something other thanthink. Go for swim or aride on your bike or evenjust clean your house anddo some gardening,anything that allows youto switch off mentally.”

Become a witness to yourself

“Observe what happens toif you were an outsider. Ifyou have a burst of anger,analyze what triggered itand accept theconsequences of your ac-tions.”

Become your own friend:

“Be good to yourself, asyou always have to bewith ‘you’. Create yourown affirmation, asentence or phrase thathas a real meaning foryou, such as ‘may I be hap-py, may I be well’ and re-peat it under your breath

when you need a boost.”

Be the change

“Create your own mindwith its own purpose.Don’t get caught up withdrama, have a sense of hu-mour and learn to laughthings off. Try and see thebigger picture and don’ttake yourself too serious-ly.”

Meditate

“The mind is like a drunk-en monkey that’s been bit-ten by a scorpion, it jumpsaround and is chaotic.Tame your mind. Medita-tion helps you control themind by getting you intoyour body.”

Ask for help:

“...from people you loveand who love you, not justa doctor with drugs.”

Dear Patsyb:I fully understand your

husband, you will do moredamage and create more ofa scene than if you do invitehim.

You risk really offendingyour cousin and you willput her in a very awkward

position. Ask yourself: whatis she supposed to tell her

husband about why hecan’t come to your party?

It’s not fair that yourcousin be placed in that po-sition. You have two choic-es: invite the cousin withher husband or don’t inviteeither of them. If you’re agood sport, you will invitethem both and find some-one you can invite to keepthe pesky husband occu-pied in conversation so heleaves you all alone!

I keep reading news about a slowdown in theUS economy – should I sell my investments?

A: Money in America? Is that an oxymoron?

B: You should invest! You can’t get the ups without goingthrough the downs.

For new par-ents, here’sthe bottomline. If youdon’t get seri-ous about sav-ing for

post-secondary studies, thatcooing little bundle is al-most certainly going to beseverely burdened by stu-dent debt.

If current trends contin-ue, a four-year degree islikely to cost $80,000 forlive-at-home students by2025 and $125,000 forthose away from home.

The good news is thatnew parents are puttingaside those education pen-nies.

Across Canada, nearly 90per cent of those withyoung children have start-ed saving, according to theTD Canada Trust 2011 Edu-cation and Finances Survey.

The goal for those withyounger children should beto get the maximum Cana-da Education Savings Grant

of 20 per cent on the first$2,500 annually per childcontributed to an RESP(Registered Education Sav-ings Plan). That’s a littleover $200 monthly.

Even if you just investthe money in GICs andbonds you’ll have about$40,000 after 10 years andnearly $90,000 after 18.

For parents of teens, edu-cation financing is a bigstress point. TD’s surveydiscovered that more than85 per cent of parents (atleast in Ontario) with kidsunder 18 don’t expect to beable to pay the shot fortheir children’s education.

Interestingly, fewer ofthose parents expect theirchildren to help pay for

their own education, 31 percent down from 39 per centlast year. The decline mayhave to do with the difficul-ty in finding summer jobs.

My daughter, a studentchef, has only managed ir-regular shifts so far thissummer at two differentrestaurants.

Parents with teens, andlittle in the way of savings,might consider postponingeducation.

A couple of years of liv-ing at home and working,

even at a minimum wagejob, could easily mean thedifference between adecade of debt and a nearlydebt-free degree.

Working roughly 35hours a week at minimumwage will bring in about$20,000 annually. Saving75 per cent of that over twoyears is $30,000.

For a live-at-home stu-dent-to-be, that money,along with RESP savings,will go a long way to reduc-ing student debt.

Gridiron reconciliationNow it can be said with cer-tainty: Get ready for somefootball!

NFL players voted to OKa final deal yesterday, daysafter the owners approved atentative agreement, andthe sides finally managed toput an end to the four-and-a-half-month lockout.

“This is a long time com-ing, and football’s back,”NFL commissioner RogerGoodell said, “and that’sthe great news for every-body.”

At a joint appearanceoutside NFL Players Associa-tion headquarters in Wash-ington, Goodell and NFLPAhead DeMaurice Smithwere flanked by some ofthe owners and players whowere involved in the talks.They spoke shortly after theNFLPA executive board and32 team reps voted unani-mously to approve theterms of a deal.

“We didn’t get every-thing that either side want-ed ... but we did arrive at adeal that we think is fairand balanced,” Smith said.

Owners overwhelminglyapproved a proposal Thurs-day, but some unresolved is-sues still needed to bereviewed to satisfy players.

The sides workedthrough the weekend andwrapped up the details yes-terday morning on a finalpact that runs for 10 years,without an opt-out clause, aperson familiar with thedeal told the AP on condi-tion of anonymity.

Owners decided in 2008to opt out of the league’sold labour contract, whichexpired March 11 and led tothe lockout.

“I know it has been avery long process since theday we stood here thatnight in March,” Smith said.“But our guys stood togeth-er when nobody thoughtwe would. And football isback because of it.”

Owners can point to vic-tories, such as gaining ahigher percentage of all rev-enue, one of the central is-sues — they get 53 per cent,the players get 47 per cent.The old deal was closer to50-50. There’s also a systemthat will rein in spendingon first-round draft picks.

Players, meanwhile, per-suaded teams to commit tospending nearly all of theirsalary cap space in cash andwon changes to practicerules that should make thegame safer.

The owners also didn’tget their wish of expandingthe regular season from 16to 18 games. That can be re-visited for the 2013 season,but players must approveany changes. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
