By referencing the same items in the second fiscal quarter (Q2) of 2001 and by using the volume from 2000, staff extended the prices for each item again for comparison. Depending upon the contract terms and other factors, some prices increased, some decreased, and some remained the same. The total cost for the same basket of goods for Q2 2001 was $1,047,742.00.

Lawyers representing BCE, the buying group, shareholders and the bondholders disagreed on most aspects at the Tuesday hearing, but focused on one key issue -- What duty did the BCE board of directors have to bondholders, other than ensuring they kept receiving interest payments and the principal upon maturity of the debt? In opening arguments, BCE counsel Guy Du Pont argued that the directors had a duty only to do what is best for the company and its shareholders and their obligation to bondholders was to meet contractual obligations to pay interest and repay principal.

"There is no duty to consider beyond the contractual rights of the bondholders.

David Wolfe, creative director at Doneger Group, a buying office: Consumers are in a good mindset to enjoy the holiday and spend at least as much as they spent last year. Unfortunately, from my specialized tunnel-vision perch looking at fashion, I think it is going to be a disappointing season -- at best OK -- because I think consumers are spending less and less on apparel. It is no longer considered a gift priority because there are so many other options. The perfect sweater now turns out to be the Christmas iPod. [Dana Telsey]: Last year, Hanukkah started on Dec. 25, that evening, with Dec. 26 the first day. This year, Hanukkah starts on Dec. 15, that evening. Hopefully, that will help a little bit. Consumers are procrastinators and they do delay. And that is why we see the ever-incre...

The founders of Internet phone service [Skype] have filed another lawsuit that may put a wrench in eBay Inc.'s plan to sell Skype for US$2 billion to a private investor group, including the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

WCE Holdings Inc., the exchange's parent company, entered into a "definitive agreement" in June to be sold to ICE, a big player in energy and "soft" commodities as coffee, sugar and cocoa beans. It was interesting to see that this ($50-million bid) is indeed now considered to be a valid offer," said Thomas S. Caldwell, chairman of Caldwell Investment Management, which has a substantial number of WCE Holdings Inc. shares. Caldwell, who admitted that his group once considered buying the WCE itself, said the exchange is "probably reasonably priced right now.

Most of the players on the Nationals' roster, however, were members of the Rochester Rattlers this past year. The Rattlers, who won the MLL championship in 2008, folded during the off-season. Though he'll be a silent partner, Curt Styres, a successful Ontario businessman from Six Nations, confirmed he is part of the Nationals' ownership group. He was intrigued about the prospect of buying into the Nationals because of their proposed Aboriginal ties. Styres bought a pair of other pro sports franchises last year, the American Hockey League's Rochester Americans and the National Lacrosse League's Rochester Knighthawks.
