For more than 60 years, Carpet One Floor & Home has been enhancing underfoot environments with a comprehensive selection of carpets, hardwood flooring, and other floor coverings. Conceal a foundation's bald spot with a plush floor toupee—such as Millcraft's Star Island line of carpets, featuring a sculptured, kaleidoscopic look with cut and loop pile to elevate the atmosphere of any living room, office, or human-sized chessboard ($2.50/ sq. ft. with 5-year stain and wear warranty; $1.05+/ sq. ft. for installation).
Sticks sprung from humble origins when, in 1992, Sarah Grant began carving ornaments and candlesticks from birch, poplar, and driftwood in a small studio in Des Moines. As her work began to attract national interest and demand for it grew, Sarah enlisted the aid of other local artists and expanded her inventory to include handcrafted heirloom-quality furniture, whimsical sculptures, and intricate keepsakes.
Today, the artists' work is showcased in more than 100 galleries across the country. Their installation projects have even decorated the walls of Blank Children's Hospital, the Animal Rescue League of Central Iowa, and the student center at Iowa State University.
Sticks artists can often be spotted by the shores of local rivers, gathering driftwood for their work. They assemble the wood into custom-designed tables, beds, and armoires within their spacious, light-filled studio before painting them with colorful, whimsical designs, from smiling suns and moons to lush landscapes. The versatile artists even take their tools and paintbrushes to homes, businesses, and underground mad-scientist labs to craft custom art installations and interiors.
In Stuart Alexander's perfect world, every garden is a wonderland. Blades of grass form an undisturbed carpet of green, flowers burst with intense color and fragrant smells, and trees provide shady havens for weary travelers. Now, after spending years as an event planner and designer, Stuart works his artistry outside as part of 5th Room Landscapes. Working with seasoned landscapers and garden experts, Stuart's team oversees all facets of domestic plant life, from designing and installing gardens to maintaining creations throughout all seasons yet to come. Their spaces are as usable as they are beautiful, encouraging homeowners to spend more time barbecuing in the summer, leaf-peeping in the autumn, and protecting the yard from territorial hockey players in the winter.
Clean It offers a growing variety of cleaning services, including home cleaning, power washing, and gutter cleaning. Bonded and insured technicians clean each home from head to toe, making sure that windows, kitchens, gutters, and garage floors all sparkle. Technicians wipe both interiors and exteriors of window panes with home-safe cleaning products until they are free of dirt and streaks. Climbing their ladders higher, the technicians can also clean out gutters to remove clogs caused by leaves, mud, and stray bowling balls. When focusing on the interiors of homes, the crews clean kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms?wiping down counters and vacuuming floors during one-time deep-cleanings or regularly scheduled visits to keep homes ready for visitors.
Born of one woman's idea to create a store that is completely kid-centric and appeals to children, Simply for Giggles is a cheerful, welcoming place that's filled to the brim with necessities for being young and bearing young. The stock crosses all categories and includes—but is not limited to—furniture, toys, books, bedding, strollers, diaper bags, bath supplies, and slings for wearing a baby or letting a friendly Yeti wear a baby. The Hedgehog Family hanging mobile ($29.99) gives children an alternative to counting sheep; the Snuggle Buddy Lambie ($23.99) gives them a sheep to snuggle; and Sandra Boynton's Bath Time book ($6.95) gives them information about bathing sheep. Simply for Giggles carries Little Twig organic baby-pampering products, as well as JuJuBe diaper gear.
We have just started our 10th year in business. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
We specialize in carpet cleaning, tile cleaning and upholstery cleaning.

The service that I received was excellent. My latest
piece was a ring with my wedding picture on it. The
work was excellent. Thanks for everything-Dan was especially wonderful with getting my orders exactly the way that I wanted them. The quality and price were excellent. Thanks for everything!"

-- Vanessa L.
"Usually these comments are about the product, but I wanted to write about your customer service.
My outlined picture charm came and I was not satisfied but the customer service I received was EXCELLENT!
I cannot believe how simple it was to discuss my issues and how quickly PicturesOnGold handled them.
I choose not to keep the charm but I have reordered something else - and cannot wait to get it.
They stand by their products and refund policy!"

-- Susan
"I have had a great experience with this company. I am so happy with the product I received and how fast I received it. I have been looking to get a certain charm for my 15 year old son for about two years. I was looking for a number in sterling silver. I have seen quite a few different ones over the two years but they were never what I wanted to get him and I was never happy with them. I have ordered and sent back at least four of them. I by mistake stumble upon your website. And I am so grateful I did. You had exactly what I wanted to get him. I am so pleased. I just know he will love it. I am so grateful. I am also so grateful for the sped of processing my order than making it and getting it to me. When I ordered pre-made numbers from jewelry stores it took anywhere from 2 weeks to a month before I received it. But with you I received it in 3 day total. I ordered it Wednesday and got it Friday. I was amazed. All I want to say is thank you so much for helping me make my son happy this Christmas. It means a lot to me. Thank you again. And marry Christmas."
-- Lonnie

LAIE, Hawaii (AP) — People in the small Hawaii hometown of Manti Te'o stood firmly behind the Notre Dame linebacker after the story of his girlfriend and her death from leukemia were revealed as a hoax.
Hawaii hometown backs Te'o after girlfriend hoax
For the second day Thursday, no one answered the door at the modest, single-story wood home of Te'o's parents, in the small coastal town of Laie on Oahu's northern shore where Manti Te'o, an All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist, was born. Brian and Ottilia Te'o, did not appear to be inside.
Members of the mostly Mormon community said they were dumbfounded and didn't believe Manti Te'o would have knowingly perpetrated such a story. The town of about 6,000 people, roughly an hour's drive from Honolulu, is home to a small Hawaii satellite campus of Brigham Young University.
Lokelani Kaiahua, 42, said Te'o's parents were her classmates, and she knew them to have strong family values they instilled in their children.
"I just don't see something like that being made up from him or having any part of that because they're not those kind of people," she said while sitting and talking with friends a few doors down from the Te'o family home.
According to media accounts that surrounded Te'o this season, his purported girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, died of leukemia in September. But on Wednesday, the website Deadspin.com posted a lengthy story saying there was no evidence that she ever existed.
Notre Dame officials then confirmed the hoax but were insistent that Te'o was only the victim.
Te'o is a hero and role model to many children in Laie and nearby small towns like Hauula, Kaaawa and Kahuku along the two-lane highway snaking through Oahu's northeastern coast.

On This Day In Music History...
July 16, 1966: The Lovin' Spoonful released "Summer in the City"
This song makes me want to dance around in the street while a fire hydrant sprays cool water onto the hot asphalt. Alas, so far my Summer has been cloudy and rainy, so no fire hydrant street-dancing for me. Maybe if I play this song enough it will actually happen. Fingies crossed!

The names on the backs of the jerseys have changed significantly.
The name on the front still carries the weight of expectation at St. Michael's High School.
The Horsemen are still perennial playoff performers. St. Michael's is expected to be so again even after losing 18 positions worth of experience from last year's 13-1 state championship team.
"The program is established," says Horsemen head coach Joey Fernandez, who has guided St. Michael's to a pair of Class AAA titles since 2003. "But it doesn't make it any easier on us. There is still the offseason to get work done. That's where the kids make the team."

Syrian capital rocked by clashes between troops and rebels
The proposed UN resolution, in a text circulated by Britain, would impose strict sanctions on Syria, and it could be enforced by military means under Chapter 7 of the UN charter.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
MOSCOW—Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused "Western colleagues" on Monday of trying to blackmail Russia into supporting a United Nations resolution on Syria that, he contended, would open the door to civil war.
The accusation came as Syrian troops and rebels clashed in Damascus for a second day, briefly closing a highway between the capital and its international airport to the south, news agencies reported. The fighting in the capital, a bastion of Syrian President Bashar Assad, marked an escalation of the 16-month conflict, which the International Committee of the Red Cross has declared already amounts to a civil war.
The proposed UN resolution, in a text circulated by Britain, would impose strict sanctions on Syria, and it could be enforced by military means under Chapter 7 of the UN charter. Russia, together with China, has adamantly opposed military intervention in Syria, vetoing a Security Council resolution earlier this year that Moscow believed could be used as a cover for a Western attack on Assad's regime.
Lavrov, speaking at a news conference, said Assad will not be forced from power — not because Russia protects him, but because he still has strong support within Syria.
"We have been hearing statements that a key to the Syrian settlement is in Moscow," he said. "They tell us that we should persuade Assad to step down of his own free will. That is simply not realistic."
The foreign minister was to meet later in the day with Kofi Annan, the UN special envoy who has been trying to work out a peace plan for Syria — an effort that Russia says it backs. Lavrov complained that Russian refusal to support the new sanctions resolution could be used by Western powers to effectively shut down the UN mission in Syria.
"There are elements of blackmail" in this, he said.
Annan plans to meet with President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
In some of the worst violence in Damascus since the uprising against Assad began, fighting erupted in the neighborhoods of Kfar Souseh, Midan and Tadamon, the Associated Press reported, quoting opposition activists. Black smoke rose over the capital's skyline as gunmen, some of them masked, took cover behind sandbagged fortifications and fired toward government forces, videos posted online showed.
Amid shrinking international support for Assad, Morocco ordered Syria's ambassador Monday to leave the North African kingdom and called for a transition to democracy in Syria, Reuters news agency reported. The Assad government retaliated by ordering the expulsion of Morocco's ambassador to Syria.
But Russia, for its part, remained steadfast.
A Russian ship carrying repaired helicopters — which had set sail for Syria under a Curacao flag but turned back when it lost its insurance — is now heading from Murmansk to St. Petersburg, under the Russian flag, with the helicopters on board. The Interfax news agency quoted a source as saying that the ship will sail to Syria from St. Petersburg.
Russia argues that it is not arming Assad, but only complying with existing maintenance contracts in providing overhauls for the helicopters.
At the same time, two naval squadrons from Russia's Baltic and Northern fleets have made a rendezvous in the Atlantic and will head for the Eastern Mediterranean, where ships from the Black Sea fleet are to join them, Interfax reported.
Lavrov said Russia and China are not to blame for failure to resolve the Syrian crisis. Western countries have not pressured Syrian opposition groups to comply with Security Council decisions, he said. And now, he charged, a third party has entered the conflict: Al Qaeda. Russia has warned repeatedly that Islamist extremists could benefit from Assad's fall.
Lavrov also took a swipe at Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, without naming her. On July 6, Clinton told a Friends of Syria meeting in Paris that other nations have to make it clear that "Russia and China will pay a price, because they are holding up progress — blockading it — [and] that is no longer tolerable." Lavrov said the comment was a threat, describing it as "beyond not only diplomacy but elementary politeness."

Obituary: Raul Gardini
Saturday 24 July 1993
FOR almost a decade, Raul Gardini was one of Italy's most powerful and most admired businessmen. The Italians were proud of the glamorous, silver-haired, sun-tanned millionaire, regularly photgraphed at the helm of one of his racing yachts, who epitomised the good life and propagated an image of an Italy that could beat the world.
Until the death of Serafino Ferruzzi in a plane crash in 1979 hardly anyone had heard of Raul Gardini. For that matter, even in Italy hardly anyone had heard of the Ferruzzi group either, even though the family fortune included an agricultural empire covering some 2.5 million acres in Italy, the United States and Southern America. Soon all that was to change.
For more than 20 years, Raul Gardini, the son of a wealthy landowning family, who had married Serafino Ferruzzi's daughter Idina, had been the patriarch's closest collaborator. He had learnt, worked and argued with the old man. But Gardini was a man with a vision, who dreamed of turning the company into an industrial giant. Legend has it that, after the patriarch's death, Gardini approached the family with an offer: 'You must decide now if you're willing to let me do things my way and give me total control,' he said, 'or if, instead, you just want to remain a wealthy provincial family'. The Ferruzzis unanimously agreed to let him take control.
At first, in 1980, Gardini took control of Beghin-Say SA, the French sugar and paper company, turning Ferruzzi into Europe's leading sugar producer. Then, in 1985, Gardini focused his interest on chemicals and began buying stock in the Montedison chemicals group. By 1987, Ferruzzi had acquired 42 per cent of the group, turning Ferruzzi-Montedison into Italy's second largest industrial group. Gardini became one of the stars on the Italian corporate scene and was nicknamed Il Contadino ('the peasant') by the Italian press.
In the process of acquiring Montedison, Gardini had accumulated enormous debts. So, in an attempt to restructure the group by merging the two companies, Gardini offered some Montedison shareholders shares in the Ferruzzi family holding company, Ferruzzi Finanziaria. The market didn't seem impressed by Gardini's operation and both Ferruzzi and Montedison stock plunged downwards. Gardini was rescued by Enrico Cuccia, the powerful chairman of the merchant bank Mediobanca, who stepped in to guarantee the deal.
When international investors remained unimpressed, Gardini's response was that 'This is an Italian operation in the Italian market and I don't care if it is criticised on the basis of international criteria.'
After such a display of ruthlessness and arrogance some financial observers quickly gave 'the Peasant' a new and less affectionate nickname, 'Il Corsaro' ('the Pirate').
In June 1989, the ink sanctioning the birth of Enimont, a joint venture between the state-owned Enichem Chemicals Company and Montedison, was hardly dry, when Gardini stirred up a new row. Not content with having obtained a tax break of more than L825bn and shifting L3,800bn of debt to the combined entity, Gardini announced he was going to seek full control of the company.
The affair ended on 22 November 1990, with Montedison receiving a payment of L2,805bn for its 40 per cent of Enimont, a net gain of more than L1,100bn. In the meantime, Gardini had fought bitterly with the entire political class, with ENI (Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi), the huge state-controlled energy and chemicals group that was Enichem's parent company, and had broken off relations with Banca Commerciale Italiana (Comit), the family bank, after accusing the bank's management of being in the hands of the politicians.
In December 1990, relinquishing all his managerial powers, Gardini left Italy in a huff for San Diego to play with his costly new America's Cup yacht, an adventure that is believed to have cost Montedison dollars 100m. Gardini further dismayed the Ferruzzis by appointing his 22-year-old son Ivan to the presidency of Ferruzzi Finanziaria (Ferfin), the holding company in control of the family empire.
Upon his return to Italy in May 1991, Gardini presented to the Ferruzzis a reconversion plan that would have given him total control of the family empire. But on the evening of 11 June 1991, just when Gardini's return to power seemed imminent, a brief communique announced that the 51-year-old Arturo Ferruzzi had taken control of Serafino Ferruzzi srl, the family holding company.
A few months later all links had been definitively severed between Gardini and the Ferruzzi-Montedison group. Serafino Ferruzzi's heirs had decided it was no longer possible to let Raul do things 'his way'. He had made too many enemies.
With the money his wife received from the Ferruzzis for her stake in the business, Gardini set up his own group, with interests in the food and mineral water industry, mainly in Italy and France.
Last June it was revealed that Gardini's reckless expansion drive had left Ferruzzi choked by almost dollars 20bn in debt. The family was forced to relinquish its controlling stake in the group and turned to a consortium of banks to bail it out.
The Italian press revealed that the Milan magistrates handling the 'Clean Hands' corruption investigation were examining allegations that, at the time of the break up in November 1990, Enimont was overvalued when it was sold back to ENI. Furthermore, the investigators suspected Enimont had paid some dollars 40m in bribes to the Christian Democrats and Socialist parties.
Two days ago, according to transcripts of his interrogation released to the press, Giuseppe Carofano, a former Montedison chairman, had told magistrates that Gardini had ordered him to create a slush fund to pay off politicians. Carofano also blamed Gardini for some dollars 202m of extra losses in Montedison's balance sheet.
Raul Gardini was the quintessential business buccaneer of the 1980s and a typical member of the Italian system in which a few powerful families dominated the country's private sector. These family-run businesses prospered largely thanks to a web of intricate relations with Italian politicians based on generous contributions to party coffers, and the politicians own pockets.
Until recently, the politicians and the businessmen felt virtually invulnerable. No one in Italy imagined the system was about to be ripped apart at the seams.

Obama Should Play Golf All Day, Every Day
By Anthony Gregory
I heard a conservative talk radio guy complaining about the president's excessive time on the putting green. Allegedly, Obama has played a record number of holes for a first-term chief executive. A related complaint concerned his frequent vacations.
This is hardly the first time I've heard partisans protest the president's golfing and holiday habits. Granted, I would have to go all the way back to. . . George W. Bush to recall similar accusations. Bush was always on the ranch or the range, where the skies were not cloudy all day. Left-liberals complained that he was neglecting his duties when he should have been more studiously presiding over the economy and the wars.
Similar things were said about Clinton and those before. Reagan supposedly slept too much when he was supposed to be leading the free world.
It seems to me that these partisan complaints miss the mark entirely. They do not reflect thoughtfully on what it is the president does on official business. The president's job--not on paper, but in reality--is to smash individual liberties, smother the American economy, oversee mass looting, and destroy innocent foreigners by the multitudes abroad. Every minute the president spends on official business is a minute our freedoms and money slip away. I understand why left-liberals, who profess to believe in the goodness of government, do not see it my way. Yet conservatives, who claim to recognize Obama as a threat to their pocketbooks and personal rights, sometimes demand the president spend more of his time knocking the life out of the economy rather than knocking balls into holes from the fairway.
At least two arguments against what I say could arise. One is that the president often spends tax dollars on his time off, particularly on his lavish vacations, blowing tens or hundreds of millions just to unwind. Fair enough. I'd still rather he do this than sign legislation or executive orders. He would then become as harmless as royalty in the modern day. Yes, it would cost the taxpayers millions daily to keep him occupied on vacations and with recreational activities. That is a bargain. Better to bribe the president not to work than to save money in the short term while he decimates hundreds of billions worth of property sitting in the Oval Office. As I've pointed out here before,
waste is among the very best things government does
. But paying Obama to stop working wouldn't be waste. It would be the most productive economic subsidy in American history.
The second objection I can anticipate is that the president does not actually stop working while he is golfing or relaxing. This is true, and a problem. The president needs a real vacation. Tell his subordinates to leave him alone and not to disturb him under any circumstances. Yet this complaint--that the president continues to work while he's off the job--is in direct conflict with the thrust of the complaint as we usually hear it: that the president is "neglecting" his job on his time off. I would add that every minute he spends walking the course and every hour he spends in transit without a pen in his hand is still a break for the American people, and the world. I'd rather he spend his time drinking and sleeping in Hawaii than discussing the next war with foreign leaders.
When conservatives complain that Obama is vacationing too much, they betray a lack of conviction in their declared feelings about the president and the federal government, and a failure to grasp just how bad the presidency is in our time. With few enough exceptions per presidential term that a Disney cartoon character could enumerate them on one hand, the president spends every active official minute destroying lives, liberty, and property. I beseech Mr. Obama that he ignore his critics and that he play another round. Drive more balls into holes. It's better than driving the country into the ground.

Swimsuit Slim-down Tips From Larry North
Summer is almost upon us. It's the last chance to drop a few pounds before hitting the beach or the lake. Fitness Guru Larry North has a few tips on eating healthy to slim-down for that swimsuit.
Larry says that everyone deserves to look good. If you look good, you feel good. However, you don't have to starve yourself or crash diet to drop a few pounds.
Eat a good round meal with a good round plate. Break your plate up into thirds. The first third should be your protein. Not all proteins were created equal, so put down that roast beef. Instead, pick high quality proteins like white chicken, white turkey, and fat-free dairy. Keep your serving size to down to the size of your hand. The second third should be a quality carbohydrate. Again, go for the good carbs. Oatmeal, rice, grits, and quinoa are examples of good carbs. That serving size should fit in a coffee cup. The last third should be a cereal bowl-sized portion of vegetables.
A good way to stay successful is not only to eat every 3-4 hours, but also carry good food with you. You'll save money AND drop a few pounds.

Adams has early shot to impress
Relevant offers
New Kiwi NBA recruit Steven Adams - the Thunder from Down Under - will not have to wait long to start the process of impressing his new coaches at Oklahoma City.
Adams will feature in the Thunder's Orlando summer league team that will play six games in six days in Florida from July 7-12. It will be his first chance to prove he has the skills to play at the NBA level, rather than be confined to the D-League where many are predicting he will spend at least his first year.
After heading straight to OKC following Friday's draft in New York, the Rotorua-born 19-year- old will spend a week familiarising himself with his new team-mates at the Thunder - or at least those who are around over the summer off-season.
Thunder general manager Sam Presti confirmed Adams and fellow draftees Andre Roberson and Grant Jerrett will take part in the Orlando summer league - the platform NBA teams use to assess young and fringe players.
"We will have a good week leading up before summer league," said Presti, who said he was "thrilled" to land the New Zealander with the 12th overall pick in the draft.
"It's very, very hard to find guys who can protect the basket and are physical," Presti said of his chief recruit. "This is a young player, but this is a physical player. He understands that he has a long way to go."
The Thunder GM didn't go as far as dismissing suggestions that Adams' game is not yet ready for the NBA level, but he did offer the raw New Zealander some hope.
"When you go back and study the film based on different points in the season, you can really see the progression in his game. He has some attributes that are hard to find," said Presti.
"There are a lot of people who say the draft is about bigs and point guards. That's why you see a lot of them. We are hoping that Steven will continue to grow moving forward."
Adams, who travelled to Oklahoma yesterday with his brothers Sid and Moses Beckham, pledged to do whatever was required as he set on this new chapter in his hoops career.
He goes in with his eyes wide open in terms of the development needed in his own game, and understands that is likely to involve logging time with the Thunder's D-League affiliate the Tulsa 66ers.
"All I'm trying to work on right now is rebounding, blocking shots, defence and running the lanes," Adams said at the draft. "All the base sort of stuff. I'll start from there and I'll try to branch off. Whatever the coaches want."
Adams will be jostling with a handful of centre options over the summer. Starting big man Kendrick Perkins still has two years left on his contract and is considered the most suitable mentor for the young Kiwi. The Thunder also have Hasheem Thabeet and Daniel Orton (both on non-guaranteed contracts) in the position, as well as last year's draftee Perry Jones III and starting power forward Serge Ibaka who are capable of playing the position.
The Thunder will pay Adams over $5 million over the next two years because they believe he can evolve into a player capable of performing at a similar level to stars like Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Ibaka. The first step in that direction will take place in Orlando in just over a week.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ford's fall raises Katz questions
Toronto leader unseated by judge; Winnipeg's mayor faces similar complaint
An Ontario judge's decision to toss Toronto Mayor Rob Ford from office over a conflict-of-interest complaint has illustrated the potential consequences of a similar allegation against Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz.
On Monday, Ford was removed from office for breaking Ontario's Municipal Conflict of Interest Act because he failed to recuse himself from a council vote on whether he had to repay an improper charitable donation.
The political future of Winnipeg's mayor could be decided the same way next spring, when a judge decides whether Katz broke Manitoba's Municipal Council Conflict of Interest Act in 2010 by spending $2,915 of public funds on a Christmas party at Hu's Asian Bistro, an Ellice Avenue restaurant owned by the mayor at the time.
On April 2, court will consider whether public spending on this party, held for city councillors and department heads, violated provincial conflict-of-interest legislation, as argued by the complainant, Winnipeg restaurateur Joe Chan.
If the judge decides Katz broke the rules, the penalty is all but automatic: The mayor will lose his council seat as unceremoniously as did Ford.
"People will try and draw comparisons, but if you look, there is nothing," Katz said Monday in an interview, assuring he is not concerned about what he described as a frivolous complaint. "It's a shame beautiful trees are dying for a story such as this."
Chan, who manages Cathay House Restaurant and has worked for Daniel McIntyre Coun. Harvey Smith, initially filed a declaration in the Court of Queen's Bench alleging Katz engaged in a conflict of interest. After making procedural errors, Chan withdrew his motion and was forced to pay $750 in court costs.
The complaint was then picked up by human rights lawyer David Matas, who filed another declaration and managed to secure the April court date.
"From what I understand, there is no merit to the case and it will probably be the exact same situation once more," Katz said. "A Christmas party has nothing to do with a meeting of city council."
Manitoba's municipal conflict-of-interest act stipulates elected officials must not vote on decisions that could benefit them to the tune of $500 or more. The act is meant to govern business on the floor of council and council committee meetings, said Robert Tapper, Katz's lawyer.
Based on Chan's logic, the mayor would violate the rules any time he takes a councillor to lunch at his restaurant to discuss city business, Tapper argued.
"I would be more than hopeful the judge will see this as the nonsense that it is," he said.
Comparing the Ford case to the complaint against Katz is like comparing "apples to horseshoes," Tapper said.
Matas agreed the allegations in the two cases are different, but noted the potential punishment essentially is the same: the loss of one's seat.
"Litigation is never certain but structurally, it's the same situation," said Matas, who argues the Manitoba act applies to Katz's spending decision.
Municipal law experts say the judge in this case may be forced to consider technical arguments.
For example, the fact council approves annual budgets for the mayor's office could allow someone to argue the provincial act applies to specific mayoral spending decisions.
"It's funny how the really silly, little things can bring you down," said University of Manitoba law Prof. Anne McGillivray.
"Even if the act only applies to what's said and done in the council chambers, which is where Rob Ford got in trouble, it doesn't speak to whether you are governing with integrity."
On the other hand, U of M law Prof. David Asper said the act gives judges very little leeway in terms of the punishment they mete out against violators.
"If the judge finds there is a breach, then the only choice the judge has is to remove the official from office," Asper said. "That's a pretty draconian provision."

Portuguese police may reopen Madeleine McCann probe: report
A local newspaper said police sent a team to review the case
- Image Credit: AFP
- Madeleine McCann
Lisbon: Portuguese police are considering reopening the inquiry into the 2007 disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann from a beach resort in the country, a local newspaper reported on Thursday.
"The possibility of reopening the inquiry is being considered, but the public prosecutor will make the final decision," the Correio da Manha said, without citing a source.
The newspaper said police sent a team to review the case in the northern city of Porto in March last year with a view to reopening the investigation, with a focus on the possibility of a kidnapping by an organised paedophile network.
Police declined to comment when contacted by AFP.
Madeleine vanished from the holiday apartment where her parents were staying in the resort of Praia da Luz just days before her fourth birthday in May 2007, while they were dining at a nearby tapas bar.
The discovery last week of a four-year-old blonde girl in a Roma camp in Greece has resurrected the issue of child kidnapping in Europe once again, and had "given hope" to Madeleine's parents, their spokesman said.
Portuguese authorities closed their investigation into Madeleine's disappearance in 2008, but Scotland Yard spent two years reviewing it at the British government's request and opened their own probe in July this year.
British detectives investigating the case last week published two new electronic images of a man they want to contact in a major new appeal also shown in Germany and the Netherlands.

Sacramento vows to keep fighting for NBA team
Send this to a friend
- Kelly Johnson, Sacramento Business Journal
Despite Monday's announcement that a group of Seattle investors has agreed to buy a majority stake in the Sacramento Kings, Sacramento's civic leaders are trying to keep the club in place.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former National Basketball Association player, is assembling a team of investors in a bid to keep the team. The mayor is expected to name the investors this week.
"Sacramento has proven that it is a strong NBA market with a fan base that year in and year out has demonstrated a commitment to the Kings," Johnson said in a statement issued early Monday.
"When it comes to keeping the team in our community, Sacramento is playing to win."
Greg Van Dusen, a sports marketing consultant who has been recruiting prospective owners who would keep the team in Sacramento, said, "We are working on things. Nothing is final."
Van Dusen was part of the group that brought the Kings to Sacramento in 1985.
No one involved in the effort to keep the Kings in Sacramento is going to quit, Van Dusen said. "We are going to keep fighting."
Many Seattle NBA fans can readily identify with their counterparts in Sacramento. In 2006, the Seattle SuperSonics NBA club was sold to a group of investors led by Oklahoma City, Okla., businessman Clay Bennett. Bennett insisted on a new arena for his club, but after successive plans for an arena fell through, Bennett's ownership group moved the team to Oklahoma City in 2008 and renamed it the Thunder.
Sacramento has a strong argument for its value as an NBA market, having sold out 17 of 28 seasons.
Though NBA commissioner David Stern is sympathetic, Sacramento faces steep odds to keep the team. Seattle's plan for a new arena is further developed than Sacramento's, and the NBA Board of Governors generally approves sale and relocation proposals by team owners.

China doubles the amount insurers can invest in private equity
SHANGHAI, July 25
SHANGHAI, July 25 (Reuters) - China's insurance regulator said on Wednesday it has doubled the amount insurers can invest in private equity, part of efforts to broaden their investment scope.
Insurers will be permitted to invest up to 10 percent of their total assets in private equity compared with 5 percent previously, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) said in rules published on its website. That confirms a previous Reuters story.
The move would potentially unleash about $50 billion of fresh capital into unlisted firms. (Reporting by Samuel Shen and Jacqueline Wong)

I'd like to write an assert-style macro that stops only if I am running the program in a debugger. AFAIK, the only available debugger on my box is gdb, so I'll talk about that one.
The documentation for the SIGTRAP signal indicates that it is intended for pausing the debugger, so I should be able to put
if (!assertion) raise(SIGTRAP);
in my code. It works to break GDB at the right point, but just running this from the command line also halts the program, as both bash and zsh helpfully interpret the "trace/breakpoint trap" signal to mean that the program should halt entirely.
Are there any signals that GDB uses but which I can expect that everything else ignores? Or is there a method beyond signals to pause execution in GDB without disrupting non-debugger operation?

Mediterranean Trip on Liberty
We had a 3 night stay in Barcelona prior to departing on the Liberty of the Seas for a 7 night Mediterranean cruise with stops in Toulon, Nice/Villefranche, Florence/Pisa, Rome, and Naples. Favorites in Barcelona included: Sagrada Familia (book guided tour online in advance); Picasso Museum and surrounding neighborhood; Park Guell; Montserrat (day trip); and an FC Barcelona game at Camp Nou if they are in town playing.
RC's Liberty of the Seas:
-Flowrider, Kids Clubs, iPad touch screen calendar of events on every floor--perfect for our kids ages 10-17.
-Clean, newer rooms and great dining options with variety of bars and evening shows for adults (Saturday Night Fever and Up in the Air were fantastic.)
-Day at sea on last day provided perfect opportunity to enjoy this beautiful ship
-Toulon: nothing special and first stop...stay on ship if you have been touring around Barcelona and enjoy the quiet time because from there on, More it's nonstop
-Nice/Villefranche: booked private tour with Ingrid at Kultours. Loved her! Saw tiny but spectacular village of Eze, old town Nice, Monaco and St Paul de Vence.
-Florence/Pisa: we took kids to Leaning Tower of Pisa through RC tour and loved it; inlaws did Cinque Terre tour and also had a great day
-Rome: did RC Imperial Rome tour to see Forum, Colosseum, Vatican and Trevi Fountain. Wish we had booked private tour with Rome In Limo instead. See same sights, but less waiting on a very hot day in August.
-Napes: did private tour with Rome in Limo and saw Pompeii ruins, Amalfi coast, Sorrento and Positano. Great day! Highly recommend. Less
