There are five stages of grief, 12 steps in Alcoholics Anonymous and 21 parts to this year’s Tour de France.
For royal pregnancies, there are eight stages:
1. Idle speculation: No one has any idea if a royal is pregnant, so hey, let’s gossip. A year ago, rumours were flowing during Prince William and Kate’s tour of Australia and New Zealand. She put a swift end to the speculation by not only drinking wine, but also going on a rough river excursion.
2. Educated guesses: A mere four days before it was revealed that Kate was pregnant with her first child, I counted belt holes in three separate outfits—yes, this is the life of a royal specialist—and came to a conclusion. As I wrote at the time, “It could just be a confluence of fashion choices, but after this week I’ve changed my stock answer…
Warren Buffett mobbed by throng of adoring investors as he tours Berkshire Hathaway exhibits
– canadianbusiness.com
OMAHA, Neb. – Adoring investors have mobbed billionaire Warren Buffett as he toured the displays at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting.
Buffett was surrounded by dozens of investors hoping to get a glimpse of Berkshire’s top executive as he toured the exhibit hall Saturday morning before the meeting.
Between chanting with University of Nebraska cheerleaders and competing against Bill Gates, Kathy Ireland and shareholders in a newspaper tossing competition Buffett got sales updates from the heads of Justin Brands, Dairy Queen and Heinz.
Heinz expects to sell out of the 12,000 sets of ketchup and mustard they brought because they sold 8,000 of them Friday.
Buffett predicted that Berkshire will do more deals with the 3G Capital investment firm that he teamed up with to buy Heinz and now Kraft Foods.

Alberta’s housing sector is hurting, but it’s no 1980s flashback: feds
– canadianbusiness.com
OTTAWA – The oil slump is sure to bruise Alberta’s housing market, but don’t expect real estate in the province to absorb another 1980s-style drubbing, says an internal federal government analysis.
The Department of Finance compared the potential real-estate fallout in Alberta — a result of the late-2014 collapse in oil prices — with the pain inflicted on the provincial market during the deep recession of the early 1980s.
The document was released to The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act at a time when economic concerns are top of mind for Albertans as they prepare to head to the polls for Tuesday’s provincial election.
It underlines how the two downturns shared several similarities in Alberta: rising economic uncertainty, a cooling housing market and a drop in crude prices that followed an extended period of exceptional growth.
At the time the document was produced in late January, the federal government was expecting any real-estate decline this time around to be shorter and have less bite in the province…
