TORIES PAYING CUTS CONSULTANT $90K A DAY OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

The Harper government is paying a high-powered management consultant firm almost $90,000 a day for advice on how to save money. Deloitte Inc. was hired on Aug. 15 on a $19.8million contract to advise the federal cabinet and senior officials on finding enough savings to balance the books by 2014. The contract, which runs until March 31, is to advise “senior and elected officials on public and private sector best practices in improving productivity and achieving operational efficiencies.” The federal government invited a select group of 20 “pre-qualified” firms to bid on the work on July 11, rather than use a fully open tendering process. Documents describing the work required were supplied directly to the invited bidders, rather than posted on a tendering website for anyone to see. Deloitte will advise the government on the Strategic and Operating Review, a year-long exercise announced in the March 22 budget that will eventually trim $4 billion from $80 billion in annual program spending. Tony Clement, Treasury Board president, has asked 67 departments and agencies to submit two scenarios this fall, one with cuts of five per cent, another with cuts of 10 per cent. Deloitte’s final reports are due to be delivered in February next year, suggesting the spring budget is to be released in March, the traditional time frame. & Best Price on New & Used Tires Wheels ies ie or ss ce Ac

Accidents | The Coroner’s Service has ruled that the death of a 53-yearold man – killed when his house boat was struck by a speed boat last summer on Shuswap Lake, east of Kamloops – was an accident.

TOM FLETCHER (Black Press)

Premier Christy Clark stopped at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops yesterday to unveil the second part of her jobs plan, a goal of increasing the number of international students in B.C. by 50 per cent. But critics were quick to point out that at least one of the measures, an international education council, is already in place. Clark announced that B.C. will use existing trade ofﬁces to help connect international students to B.C. education opportunities, send more students overseas, and “create an international education council to help build strong relationships in both existing and emerging economies, like China, India, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.” Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto said the government is working with educational institutions and communities on “a more targeted, co-ordinated and strategic approach that takes advantage of the growth opportunities.” A detailed international education strategy was promised for release later this year. In November 2008 the B.C. government announced the formation of the B.C. Council for International Education. The 2008 announcement also described efforts to work with

Ottawa to allow more international students to remain as permanent Canadian residents. Clark said yesterday that regional workforce tables will be set up to work with local employers, labour, ﬁrst nations and others to use $15 million in available federal funds for training to address local labour needs around B.C. Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Carole James, who has been responding to Clark’s week-long rollout of

her jobs initiative, said the money is welcome but it only restores funds cut from apprenticeship and trades training. “I would have advised the premier to take a look at her own budget,” James said. “She cut $5 million this year, she planned to cut $5 million next year and year after. So she’s putting back $15 million. She’s holding the line, not increasing amounts of money for skills training.”

Another group is pulling out of the inquiry into missing and murdered women in B.C. because of a lack of funding for women’s organizations. The Pivot Legal Society says it’s withdrawing over the government’s refusal to pay for legal help for sex worker organizations, aboriginal groups and others to take part in the inquiry led by former attorney general Wally Oppal. The inquiry is scheduled to start on Oct. 11.

MAN AIRLIFTED TO HOSPITAL AFTER MOTEL STABBING PEACE ARCH NEWS (Black Press)

One man was airlifted to hospital with stab wounds and another was arrested Monday following an altercation at a South Surrey motel. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. Sept. 19, in a unit at the Cedar Lane Motel on 160 St. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said police attended the area after a 48-year-old man reported he had been stabbed by his friend. “They got into an argument,” Grainger said, noting the two men involved have known each other for about 40 years and had been living at the motel together.

ARSON ARREST MADE IN NORTH VANCOUVER NORTH SHORE OUTLOOK (Black Press)

North Vancouver RCMP arrested a 30-year-old man in connection with an early-evening house-fire on Monday. The man remains in police custody after he was taken to hospital with burns to his hands as a result of the blaze. North Vancouver firefighters were able to quickly suppress the fire and conduct a search of the two-storey wooden home, which sustained significant damage to the first level. No one was home at the time. Police say the man in custody is a relative of the family who resides at the fire damaged home.

Food inspectors: ﬁsh tests turned up nothing —

NO JAPANESE RADIATION DANGER IN SALMON: CFIA JEFF NAGEL (Black Press)

Salmon tested after returning to B.C. show no signs of elevated radiation levels from their migration through ocean waters feared to be contaminated by the Japanese nuclear disaster earlier this year. “Twelve samples of domestic ﬁsh were tested and all products were below Health Canada action levels,” according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. All samples came back showing no detectable levels levels of radioactive cesium. Spokesperson Alice D’Anjou said the samples covered pink, chum, coho, sockeye and spring salmon and albacore tuna. “They were collected at various points across the

British Columbia ﬁshery,” she said. Fraser River sockeye migrate as far west as the Bering Sea, although some observers say they were likely on their way back to B.C. when the March 11 earthquake and tsunami crippled multiple nuclear reactors and released radiation through the air and contaminated seawater. CFIA ofﬁcials had said they didn’t expect anything to turn up, but conducted the tests out of an abundance of caution, primarily to reassure Canadian consumers and export markets. The agency had previously tested air samples, milk and foods imported from Japan. No further testing is planned.

DISGRACED LAWYER GETS THREE YEARS IN PRISON NELSON STAR (Black Press)

Twenty-three years after he began stealing money from a dead man’s estate, disgraced Nelson lawyer Marvin Singleton has been sentenced to prison. He was convicted late last year of one count each of fraud and theft over $1,000. In the late 1980s, Singleton handled the estate of John Alexander George, worth just over $1 million, and stole nearly half for his own pet projects, including a wild rice plantation and horse logging equipment.

DRIVER ERROR BLAMED IN OVERPASS CRASH PEACE ARCH NEWS (Black Press)

A 65-year-old Surrey man is facing charges under the Motor Vehicle Act in connection with an incident Monday on Highway 99 in which a tandem gravel truck impacted the 152 Street overpass. Police said yesterday that charges are pending, and likely to include driving without due care and having an insecure load. According to witnesses, the truck’s front trailer tipped upwards about a kilometre south of the overpass, spilling gravel onto the highway. The raised trailer then slammed into the overpass.

Libya mission | Prime Minister Stephen Harper says his government plans to ask Parliament to extend the country’s military mission in Libya for three more months.

LATEST STATISTICS: IRRELEVANT

CANADIAN PRESS

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson’s omnibus legislation contains nine different crime bills. Many American state governments are attempting to unravel harsh minimum-sentencing provisions and bring in more parole and house-arrest options in an effort to ease the crushing cost of incarceration. A coalition of justice groups held a news conference as the bill went before Parliament, calling it costly and a threat to human rights in an already overcrowded prison system. Catherine Latimer, executive director of the John OTTAWA (Canadian Press) Howard Society, said parts of the provincial and federal correctional systems are so stuffed they may The Conservative government dismissed the cost already violate charter protections against cruel to taxpayers and falling crime rates yesterday as it and unusual punishment.

MORE CANUCKS DITCHING LAND LINE PHONES MONTREAL (Canadian Press)

A new study suggests more Canadians are getting rid of their land-line telephones and replacing them with cellphones because it’s cheaper to go wireless. The Convergence Consulting Group says that by the end of this year, 15 per cent of Canadians – or about one in seven households – will have only wireless phone service. Brahm Eiley of the Toronto-based consulting ﬁrm says in 2009 just nine per cent of households had cut the cord and ditched their land line.

BORDER GUARDS RELEASE WIFE OF RUNAWAY TOURIST WINNIPEG (Canadian Press)

A woman from the Dominican Republic who was arrested in Winnipeg and turned over to Canada Border Services has been released – because she’s not violating immigration laws – bringing an apparent end to a bizarre story. Leonarda Bonilla Nunez was arrested not long after her husband, Santos Nunez, jumped out of a moving car and ran into the bush near Arran, Sask., just two days after arriving on a visitor’s visa. He was found in a ﬁeld south of Thunder Hill, Man., but Border Services found he hadn’t violated any laws either.

STUDY: DND IGNORES INDEPENDENT ADVICE OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

A new study from Queen’s University concludes that the Defence Department pays virtually no attention to what experts and parliamentarians say. The report, titled Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, argues that mountains of studies and recommendations from academics and even Commons and Senate committees almost never ﬁnd their way into government policy. Researchers paint a picture of combative defence bureaucrats who pay lip-service to suggestions and then stuff reports into ﬁling cabinets once the media has lost interest.

EX-CHIEF STATISTICIAN SLAMS LONG CENSUS DECISION OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

The former chief of Statistics Canada has written a ﬁrsthand critique of government’s controversial decision to cancel the long-form census. Munir Sheikh has a new essay that says the decision was made with little heed to the consequences on public policy, including the federal government’s very own work. He says the census decision has shaken Statistics Canada’s neutrality and independence, and put at risk the government’s own work with labour, immigration, aboriginals and affordable housing.

IMF WARNS OF SLOWDOWN IN CANADA OTTAWA (Canadian Press)

The International Monetary Fund is downgrading prospects for Canada and other advanced countries as the global economy enters a dangerous new phase. The IMF’s new outlook says Canada’s economy will remain positive but this year’s growth rate will be 2.1 per cent, falling to 1.9 per cent next year. The IMF also projects Canada’s unemployment rate will rise from the current 7.3 per cent to the mid-seven per cent range and above.

Two decades after the fall of Communism, the hammer and sickle is still off limits to capitalist ownership. An European Union high court yesterday rejected an attempt to trademark the Soviet symbol, saying there is still too much opposition. The court says the trademark sought by Couture Tech Ltd., a Tortola, British Islands-based company linked to an unnamed Russian designer was “contrary to public policy and to accepted principles of morality” in Hungary. A rejection in any EU member state is enough to reject the trademark completely.

Prosecutors have asked a Paris court to dismiss a case of alleged corruption in a trial in which former President Jacques Chirac is the star defendant. The case centres on the alleged creation of more than two dozen fake City Hall jobs used to fund Chirac’s conservative party while he was mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995 – before he became president for 12 years. Prosecutors argued yesterday there was not enough evidence to demonstrate that the jobs were indeed fake. The court is expected to set a date for its verdict on Monday.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans to create a pornographic website to promote its animal rights and vegan diet message. PETA spokeswoman Lindsay Rajt said yesterday that the Norfolk, Virginia-based group has applied with ICM Registry to launch the website peta.xxx. Rajt says the website will feature graphic videos and photographs. She noted that PETA has used porn stars and nudity to get its message across in the past. She says a pornographic site will allow PETA to reach a broader audience and that publicity about the site is just as important as the site itself.

The popular former governor of Mexico State says he will seek his party’s nomination to run for president next year. Enrique Pena Nieto is one of Mexico’s best-known politicians and is considered a favourite to win the July 2012 election for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. The 45-year-old told the Televisa network late Monday that he will work hard for the nomination, calling the polls that put him ahead just a “snapshot” of the moment. Pena Nieto is seen as the PRI’s best hope to regain the presidency it held for more than 70 years.

An east German regional train struck a car and derailed yesterday, injuring more than 20 people, ofﬁcials said.

Six people were seriously injured and another 15 received minor injuries, according to local ofﬁcials.

Attacked in his home —

BOMBER KILLS EX-AFGHAN LEADER KABUL, Afghanistan (Associated Press)

A suicide bomber hiding explosives in his turban assassinated former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani, who headed a government peace council trying to cultivate contacts with Taliban insurgents. Four of Rabbani’s bodyguards also died and a key presidential adviser was wounded in the attack at Rabbani’s Kabul home yesterday. President Hamid Karzai cut short a visit to the U.S. over the killings, which dealt a harsh blow to peace efforts after a decade of war. The turban bomber entered Rabbani’s house in the evening and blew himself up inside, said Mohammad “We don’t want Zahir, the chief of criminal the whole peace investigation for the Kabul process to get police. Fazel Karim Aimaq, stuck. We have to former lawmaker from Kuncontinue, we have duz province and a friend to.” of Rabbani’s, told reporters – Afghan lawmaker outside the former presiShukria Barakzai dent’s home that a man who arrived to meet Rabbani was not properly searched. The visitor shook Rabbani’s hand and bowed as a sign of respect, Aimaq said. “Then his turban exploded,” he said. Rabbani’s death will also dent efforts to keep the regional and ethnic rivalries that partly feed the insurgency in check. As one of the wise old men of Afghan politics and the leader of the antiTaliban Northern Alliance, Rabanni’s role in the attempts to reach out to the Taliban and seeking a political deal with them – with the U.S. blessing – will be hard to replicate in the near future. His death could unleash a well of resentment building up among some senior Northern Alliance members, who accuse Karzai of colluding with the Taliban. Shukria Barakzai, a lawmaker from Kabul, was vis-

ibly shaken as she stood outside Rabbani’s house in the Wazir Akbar Khan area of the city, near the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters. “We don’t want the whole peace process to get stuck,” she said. “We have to continue, we have to.” Rabbani, who was about 70 years old, headed the country’s High Peace Council, which was set up by the Afghan government to work toward a political solution to the decade-long war. However, it had made little headway since it was formed a year ago. Rabbani was president from 1992-1996, heading the Afghan government that preceded the Taliban rule.

QUAKE-SCIENTISTS TRIAL OPENS IN ITALY ROME (Associated Press)

Seven scientists and other experts went on trial on manslaughter charges yesterday for allegedly failing to sufﬁciently warn residents before a devastating earthquake that killed more than 300 people in central Italy in 2009. The case is being closely watched by seismologists around the globe who insist it’s impossible to predict earthquakes and dangerous to suggest otherwise since seismologists will be discouraged from issuing any advice at all if they fear legal retaliation. The seven defendants are accused of giving “inexact, incomplete and contradictory information” about whether smaller tremors felt by L’Aquila residents in the six months before the April 6, 2009 quake should have constituted grounds for a quake warning. Prosecutors focused on a memo issued after a March 31, 2009 meeting of the Great Risks commission which was called because of mounting concerns about the months of seismic activity in the region. According to the commission’s memo – issued one week before the big quake – the experts concluded that it was “improbable” that there would be a major quake though it added that one couldn’t be excluded. Commission members also gave largely reassuring interviews to local media after the meeting which “persuaded the victims to stay at home,” the indictment said. The defendants’ lawyers have insisted on their clients’ innocence and stressed the impossibility of predicting quakes. The 6.3-magnitude temblor killed 308 people in and around the medieval town.

U.S. MILITARY ENDS BAN ON GAYS WASHINGTON (Associated Press)

The U.S. military passed a historic milestone yesterday with the repeal of the ban on gays serving openly in uniform, ending a prohibition that President Barack Obama said had forced gay and lesbian service members to “lie about who they are.” Defence Secretary Leon Panetta pledged not to allow other issues of equal opportunity, such as allowing women to serve in combat roles, to be ignored or set aside. “I am committed to remov“As of today, ing all of the barriers that patriotic Americans would prevent Americans in uniform will no from serving their country longer have to lie and from rising to the highabout who they are est level of responsibility in order to serve the that their talents and capacountry they love.” bilities warrant,” Panetta – Barack Obama told a Pentagon news conference. “These are men and women who put their lives on the line in the defence of this country, and that’s what should matter the most.” Repeal of the 18-year-old legal provision – commonly known as “don’t ask, don’t tell,” under which gays can serve as long as they don’t openly acknowledge their sexual orientation – took effect yesterday at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time.

with greater character and honour. “I still believe that it was ﬁrst and foremost a matter of integrity, that it was fundamentally against everything we stand for as an institution to force people to lie about who they are just to wear a uniform,” Mullen said. “We are better than that.” Obama issued a statement saying he is conﬁdent that lifting the ban will enhance U.S. national security. “As of today, patriotic Americans in uniform will no longer have to lie about who they are in order to serve the country they love,” he said. “As of today, our armed forces will no longer lose the extraordinary skills and combat experience of so many gay and lesbian service members.”

PERRY CRITICIZES OBAMA ON ISRAEL

NEW YORK (Associated Press)

Republican presidential front-runner Rick Perry waded into a tense foreign policy dispute yesterday by criticizing the Palestinian Authority’s effort to seek a formal recognition of statehood by the UN General Assembly and assailing the Obama administration’s broader policies in the Middle East. In a speech in New York, Perry pledged strong support for Israel and criticized U.S. President Barack Obama for demanding concessions from the Jewish state that Perry says emboldened the Palestinians to seek recognition by the UN. “We would not be here today at this very precipice of such a dangerous move if the Obama policy in the Middle East wasn’t naive and arrogant, misguided and dangerous,” Perry said. He also criticized the administration’s belief that any negotiations should be based on the borders Israel had before a 1967 war that expanded the Jewish state. Perry called that stance “insulting and naive.” Perry and other Republican candidates are intent on showing they stand strongly behind Israel, an effort to appeal to Jewish voters and donors who play a pivotal role in presidential elections. They are also appealing to evangelical Christians, who play a key role in the Republican primary process and who support Israel for theological reasons.

CANUCK FILM ACTOR DIVES INTO U.S. TV TORONTO (Canadian Press)

Canadian ﬁlm actor Henry Czerny says doing interviews for his new TV series, Revenge, is very different from talking about a movie role. “I’ve never promoted a series and so it’s kind of nebulous – this thing that will be arriving,” says Czerny, whose big-screen credits include The A-Team, Mission: Impossible and Clear and Present Danger. “A lot of stuff is out of your hands when you’re doing a movie, too, but at least you get to see what you perceive as the movie before you talk about it. And all I have to talk about is the pilot and ... the projections that the producer and the creator and the director are making about the series. How do you talk about that?” Czerny plays Conrad Grayson, a wealthy hedge fund manager who accrued his fortune through questionable means. Canadian Emily VanCamp stars as Emily Thorne, a mysterious woman who arrives at the Hamptons to exact revenge on the Graysons. Czerny says he was impressed with the 25-year-old actress, best known for portraying less cut-throat characters on Everwood and Brothers & Sisters. “There’s a savvy in her and I think that’s one of the reasons she’s doing what she’s doing so well – there’s an understanding, either innate or learned ... and then skill on top of that,” he says. Czerny says he was partly drawn to the show by the

tag line, the Confucius saying: “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” “At this age in life I think: ‘Well, I’ve been exploring that anyway’ – you point a finger, you immediately create a finger pointing back at you,” says the Toronto native. “So, here we have a story about supposedly a young girl or a woman who was ripped away, I guess, from a life she was destined to have at an early age and has come back to wreak her vengeance. However, I think we’ll find out that vengeance, revenge, will have a toll on her.” Revenge debuts tonight on Citytv and ABC.

7 29 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED KUTCHER’S 2.5 MEN DEBUT

NEW YORK (Associated Press)

Both Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen have something to brag about during their big nights on television. Kutcher’s debut as Sheen’s replacement in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men was seen by 28.7 million people on Monday. The Nielsen Co. said yesterday that was more than any other episode in the show’s ﬁrst eight seasons, when Sheen was the star. Meanwhile, Sheen appeared Monday as the “victim” of a Comedy Central roast that reached 6.4 million people. The season-opening episode of Two and a Half Men, television’s most popular comedy, was much anticipated. The method of Sheen’s character’s death and Kutcher’s introduction were a closely guarded secret. Sheen had been ﬁred from the show last season for drug use and erratic behaviour. Sheen’s Charlie Harper character was killed when he was hit by a subway train in Paris. Meanwhile, Kutcher appeared as an Internet billionaire unsuccessful in a suicide attempt over a crumbled relationship. He fell right into the show’s randy ways, picking up two women during a bar visit that same night.

PITT FINALLY COACHES UNDERDOG MONEYBALL ONTO BIG SCREEN

REAL HOUSEWIFE SAYS LATE HUSBAND ABUSED HER

TORONTO (Associated Press)

Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as free a free agent as they come in Hollywood, a superstar so big he could play ball with just about any team, on any ďŹ lm project he likes. Yet he wanted to make Moneyball so much that he stuck with it for years, even after pal Steven Soderbergh, his director on the Oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eleven ďŹ&#x201A;icks, departed the ďŹ lm in a script squabble with Sony Pictures. Pitt was obsessed with making a movie out of Michael Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bestseller Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, which chronicles Oakland Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager Billy Beaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiment to build a winning team out of unlikely prospects and castoff players chosen because they could be had cheaply and ďŹ t new mathematical models that ran counter to traditional baseball scouting stats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let go of the book,â&#x20AC;? Pitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just something I wanted to put out there.â&#x20AC;? The Soderbergh-directed version of Moneyball fell apart two years ago after Sony pulled the plug on

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press)

Taylor Armstrong of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills said in a TV interview that her late husband subjected her to an abusive and frightening life. Appearing on Entertainment Tonight yesterday, Armstrong talked about her marriage to Russell Armstrong, who committed suicide last month, and the incidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effect on their daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He grabbed me by the neck and shoved me against the wall and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you ever make my children a pizza without a vegetable again, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kill you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Taylor Armstrong told Entertainment Tonight. The couple was estranged when Russell Armstrong hanged himself Aug. 15. He was depressed about ďŹ nancial issues and problems with his wife, according to a coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report. Taylor Armstrong says she explained his death carefully to her young daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just told her Daddy got sick and he died, and that we could pick a star in the sky that could be daddy and that she could talk to him every night,â&#x20AC;? she said. Taylor Armstrong ďŹ led for divorce July 15. Russell Armstrong had yet to respond to her petition when he committed suicide.

it a few days before ďŹ lming was to start. Soderbergh had submitted dramatic revisions to the script from screenwriter Steven Zaillian, and Sony was unwilling to go along with the changes.

OPENING FRIDAY

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moneyball opens on Friday after many years of script, studio and personnel struggles.

Just as Beane had to rebuild his team in 2002 after losing key players to free agency, Sony brought in fresh talent to revive Moneyball. Scott Rudin joined producers Pitt, Michael De Luca and Rachael Horovitz to help jump-start the ďŹ lm. Aaron Sorkin, who collaborated with Rudin on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Social Network and won an Oscar for the screenplay, did a new draft of the Moneyball script, sharing the writing credit with Zaillian. The studio took a risk on a director to replace Soderbergh, choosing Bennett Miller, a 2005 Oscar nominee for Capote. Moneyball probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened without Pitt going to bat for it, Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needed a champion for it to happen, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a ton in the book that screams box ofďŹ ce. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an obvious translation to ďŹ lm. Baseball movies are not really attractive to investors because the markets are limited once you get out of the (U.S.),â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless you have Brad Pitt saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want this to happen, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to see this thing through,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it goes away.â&#x20AC;?

HACKER ATTACK HITS JAPAN DEFENCE CONTRACTOR TOKYO (Associated Press)

Japan’s defence chief said yesterday that the country’s largest arms contractor has suffered a cyberattack, but that no sensitive information is known to have been lost. Defence Minister Yasuo Ichikawa urged Mitsubishi Heavy Industry to strengthen its data security systems. “We are not aware of any important data having leaked to the outside,” Ichikawa said. The company makes ships, submarines, missile parts and other weapons for Japan’s military. Mitsubishi Heavy said it had been attacked in August with viruses apparently programmed to breach its computers and servers to gain unauthorized access to protected data. It did not say why it waited until this week to disclose the attack. The attack involved more than 80 servers and computers at 11 of the company’s facilities related to nuclear power, missiles and submarines.

GET TO WORK AND FIX GLOBAL ECONOMY: CARNEY SAINT JOHN, N.B. (Canadian Press)

Canadian central banker Mark Carney is issuing a call to action to governments in advance of pivotal meetings this week, and laying partial blame on their ineffectual responses so far for taking the world to the precipice of a new recession. In a hard-hitting speech to a business crowd in Saint John, N.B., Carney said yesterday the combination of sovereign debt worries and bad politics have sapped investor confidence. “The debt-ceiling fiasco in the United States and the inability, to date, of European policy-makers to get ahead of their crisis have reduced investor confidence in the effectiveness of policy,” he said.

TODAY’S BEST ATHLETES…

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A packed MTS Centre was treated to a 6-1 Winnipeg Jets victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets last night in the ﬁrst NHL action Winnipeg has seen in 15 years.

JETS BEAT BLUE JACKETS, WIN FIRST EXHIBITION GAME WINNIPEG (Canadian Press)

Mark Scheifele couldn’t even dream his debut with the Winnipeg Jets would be this good. The Winnipeg Jets’ ﬁrst-round pick in this year’s NHL draft (seventh overall) had a pair of goals and added two assists as the re-born Jets defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-1 in their ﬁrst home game last night. “I actually did have a dream about it,” said the 18-year-old native of Kitchener, Ont. “It wasn’t getting four points, it was getting one nice goal. But I imagined the fans and they were that and more.” Paul Postma also notched a goal and three assists in the split-squad game before a jubilant sellout crowd of 15,004 at MTS Centre. It was a moment local hockey fans had been waiting to celebrate for 15 years. The Jets left Winnipeg after the 1995-96 season to become the Phoenix Coyotes, leaving fans to adopt the American Hockey League Manitoba Moose that fall. Jets captain Andrew Ladd, Kevin Clark and Ivan Telegin also scored. Columbus got its lone goal from Ryan Johansen. The Blue Jackets took the other game yesterday in Columbus, Ohio 5-1, with Evander Kane scoring the

Winnipeg’s only goal. As players left the Winnipeg ice, they raised their sticks to the screaming crowd. Fans had been chanting “Go Jets Go” before the puck even dropped. And when they did step on the ice, they were greeted by a standing ovation and loud singing of the Canadian national anthem. Ladd even likened the atmosphere to a Stanley Cup final game. “I was fortunate to be on the ice (during the anthem) and have the opportunity to be out there,” Ladd said. “It was pretty special to see the reaction of the crowd and then how loud they got. It reminded me of Edmonton when (I) played (with) Carolina in the Stanley Cup finals there.” Columbus head coach Scott Arniel, a forward who played five seasons for the Jets between 1981 to 1991, had to smile about the crowd despite the loss. “I think there was probably 15 years of pent-up frustration and excitement coming out of all the fans tonight. “It was very loud. It was good to see. I wished it had been a little tighter game, but in saying that, I imagine everybody’s heading home feeling good about that first game.”

SEDINS STILL DRIVEN TO SUCCEED VANCOUVER (Canadian Press)

The hockey season hasn’t started for real yet but Daniel Sedin has already bettered twin brother Henrik. Daniel had the highest score among Vancouver Canucks players in a fitness test the team uses as a yardstick to measure conditioning. “As long as I beat Henrik I’m happy,” Daniel said at the Canucks’ training CANUCKS camp. “That’s all I care about.” CAMP Daniel had extra motivation. Henrik had beaten him in the VO2 test last year. The test measures the maximum capacity of a body to transport and use oxygen during exercise. Dealing with the disappointment of losing to the Boston Bruins in last spring’s Stanley Cup final is another reason the brothers from Ornskoldsvik, Sweden, worked so hard training this summer. The Sedins struggled in the seven-game final. Daniel, who won the NHL regular season scoring title, had one goal and three assists. Henrik, who led the playoffs with 19 assists, didn’t manage one against the Bruins. “In a series where you’re not doing what you are capable of, that’s a tough thing,” said Henrik, the Canucks captain. “That makes you work harder in the summer time to get back into good shape.” There are several reasons why the Bruins managed to shut down the twins. Boston had a hot goaltender and the Bruins played a physical game that broke up the brothers’ passing. But at the end of the day, two of Vancouver’s best players were not good enough when it counted. “We still haven’t won it all and that’s what we have to do,” said Henrik. “That means you have prove you can go all the way. “That’s what we are going to try to do.”

SMILING SID HAVING FUN AT PENS CAMP PITTSBURGH (Associated Press)

Sidney Crosby was uncommonly upbeat a few minutes before his fourth training camp practice in as many days yesterday, regularly flashing smiles while fending off the playful kidding of his Pittsburgh Penguins teammates. The reason for Crosby’s cheerfulness seems evident. He appears to be getting closer to being cleared for contact – the biggest remaining hurdle as he recovers from a concussion that has sidelined the Penguins’ star for 8 1/2 months. Only two weeks after being asked repeatedly during a news conference if he would play this season, Crosby is fielding questions about how well he will play once he is back. It’s a sign his on-ice comeback from a serious injury is going even better than he might have expected after a few workouts. “I’m pretty happy with the way they’ve gone so far,” Crosby said. Crosby clearly has progressed significantly from a few weeks ago. Back then, he was forced to cut back on his off-season conditioning work due to concussion-related side effects that occurred once he reached the 90 per cent exertion rate.
