All Rise...
Judge Dylan Charles thinks Desperate Housewives would be much more entertaining with meerkats.
The Charge
Nature's Runaway Hit Family Drama Continues?
Opening Statement
Who woulda thought that a program showing the exploits of meerkats could have done so well? But Animal Planet seems to have struck meerkat gold—or so I gather from the fact that it has entered its third season and was also nominated for two Emmys.
Meerkat Manor, Season 2 is my first foray into the show and if it's yours as well, we'll be taking a special journey together.
Facts of the Case
Meerkat Manor documents the lives (and deaths) of a family of meerkats (called The Whiskers) in South Africa. Their struggles to survive in the brutal Kalahari Desert are captured on film by a Cambridge research team that has been studying the meerkats for nigh on ten years. All 13 episodes of Season Two are spread across two discs:
Disc One
Disc Two
The Evidence
I'm a newcomer to Meerkat Manor, never having seen the show before I received it in the mail. I'm not entirely sure what I expected, but it was probably something more along the lines of an extended National Geographic special on the wily meerkat. Instead it plays more like a soap opera. So much so that I avoided doing any research on the show for fear that I'd run across spoilers. Spoilers for a show about meerkats!
While there is no clear narrative (how could there be?), they have managed to create clear threads through each episode. This is a fairly remarkable feat considering the fact that this is obviously unscripted and any attempt to try and find continuity in the day-to-day life of meerkats must be difficult. The fact that some episodes even manage to have a theme or a meerkat moral, such as using two different meerkats to show the importance of sticking with the group, is even more impressive.
I was also worried at first that I wouldn't be able to keep track of the numerous meerkats. But within a few episodes I had their personalities and names down, helped along by the show's intro which does a run-through of the main meerkats. It's impossible to forget by the fifth episode that Mozart is the wayward daughter and Flower is the dominant female.
For the most part though, Meerkat Manor is consistently entertaining, but is definitely not for everyone. There is a cruelty inherent in nature in even the smallest, most cuddly of creatures—and the meerkats demonstrate this to a T.
There's backstabbing, murder, one-night stands, abandonment, infanticide, and much, much more! It's almost appallingly entertaining. The narration by Sean Astin adds even more drama to what's already happening on the screen. Though, sometimes the narration adds a little bit too much and I'm not just talking about the frequent abundance of punnery. They always seem to go for as much pathos as humanly possible. When one of the Whiskers family was exiled, there was a constant reiteration of her plight, hammering home her aloneness and that death was imminent if she didn't get back into the group.
Considering the brutality of nature, this sort of thing happens a fair number of times. The amount of anthropomorphizing that goes on in Meerkat Manor makes the events taking place almost unbearable. Life and death are given a human weight and consideration that the meerkats don't have. It's an unforgiving life for the meerkats, and I didn't think that this needed the air of melodrama that the writers gave it.
There's also a tendency toward redundancy. Each and every episode starts with an introduction in the project and a basic rundown of why we're all watching a bunch of meerkats running around. While this is a fine idea every couple of episodes, it became a little painful to sit through every, single episode. But I might just be coming at it from the point of view of someone who watched 13 episodes back-to-back in a weeklong period.
It's all very beautifully shot and the presentation is equally pretty. Shots of the Kalahari Desert come through crystal clear. My main problem is the lack of extras; I would have enjoyed something like a documentary on the actual Cambridge research project that kicked off this whole series.
Closing Statement
Meerkat Manor, in this space of the second season, has become one of my favorite shows. It has everything one would expect in a drama starring human actors, but in miniature. However, constant attempts to up the ante with the emotional drama can make the show almost painful to watch; maybe a more straight take on the lives of the Whiskers would be more palatable.
Still, Animal Planet has a winning and addictive show on its hands, and I'm looking forward to the third season.
The Verdict
Animal Planet is guilty of distributing addictive meerkat crack. Judge Charles is guilty of somehow connecting meerkats and a cocaine addiction.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Meerkat Manor: Season Two a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

To the Editor:—
After reading Taylor's communication on early surgery in strabismus (Arch Ophthal [Chicago]70:752, 1963) to which further attention was directed by an editorial in The Journal (187:298 [Jan 25] 1964), I feel that a word of caution is in order. While I agree that it would be desirable to have the eyes straight as early as possible to permit simultaneous bifoveal stimulation, I would like to warn against general acceptance of the recommendations according to which surgery in congenital strabismus should preferably be performed between the ages of 6 and 12 months.Most surgeons will agree that the diagnosis has to come before the operation. However, an adequate diagnosis in a strabismic child who is less than a year old is not possible in every case. Measurements of the deviation both near and at a distance will have to be delayed until the child has

Casey "Nickels" Corr v. Jan Drago
Now, I'm not the monorail reporteror the city hall reporterbut this line from Mayor Nickels' press release announcing his withdrawn support of the Monorail seems to undermine Casey Corr's continued criticism of his opponent, Jan Drago.
"Jan Drago has shown fiscal accountability, integrity and leadership in her handling of the monorail," Nickels said. "She understands the public confidence is critical to making progress on transportation."
So perhaps Corrwho claims Drago's "failed oversight of the Monorail" is her main shortcomingisn't Nickels' bitch after all? (Or vice-versa.)

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- Police were dispatched to 115 C Olivia Drive, Thursday afternoon around four o'clock. Police responded to reports of a home invasion and assault.
Police say victim, Brandon Harper, was inside of the home during the break in.
"Brandon Harper was air lifted to a hospital in Louisville, for injuries sustained in that assault and invasion," said Julie Anna Williams, Glasgow Police Public Information Officer.
Harper's mother tells us her son is currently in ICU at University of Louisville hospital and has been diagnosed with severe brain trauma.
One of Brandon's neighbors say this unfortunate situation definitely raises some red flags.
"It kind of startles me because I have three young kids, ranging from ages ten to two. For something like that to happen this close to my house, that is kind of disturbing. So, now I have to worry about my wife while I'm gone and stuff like that," said Joshua Gonzalez, neighbor.
This is still an ongoing investigation led by Glasgow's Criminal Investigation Division.
Police have not released further details of this case and continue to seek information from neighbors and potential witnesses.
A similar situation took place on Whitney Wood Road. Police say, a man was robbed, his arms were tied behind his back, and he suffered sever trauma to his head. Police have not identified any suspects and are not releasing the victim's name. Police say the victim was flown to the hospital.
Both cases are still under investigation.

This is a comfortable and durable men's scrub set from the Cherokee Workwear Scrubs collection. The V-neck top is tunic-style with dolman sleeves and a chest pocket with a pencil slot. This top runs quite large with approximately 8-10" of ease at the chest. If you want a closer fit we suggest ordering one size down. The elastic waist scrub pant has a reinforced draw cord and functional zip fly. It provides lots of storage with four side cargo pockets, two front slash pockets, and one back patch pocket. Made of soil-release poly/cotton poplin.
Everything I have ordered has been really good and works great for my son.
Scrub set is good value for the money. Has many pockets in right places.

Hi all,
First of all I search for my answer using search form but I didn't find anything useful and correct for what I'm looking for.
I would like to know if it is possible (easily) to do something that able users to register to a particular blog.
When you activate "user can register" the link made in the login-form is a link to "wp-login.php&action=register".
this redirection when "is_multisite()" is true redirect to "signup.php".
In this file wp check if the site is the main site and if it isn't it redirect to the signup page of the main site.
It is possible to let signup.php on the main site working to create users and blog but having in the same time the ability to register to one blog like in not multisite mode.
I hope i'm understanding cause i'm not very good to writing in English ^^

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Over 50 badge templates are included with the software.
Keep track of visitor check-ins with the included Visitor Badge and Management software. View larger.
The QL-570VM Visitor Badge and Management Kit is an all-in-one solution for tracking contractors, volunteers, students, guests, and more. It includes the QL-570 Label Printer, VM-100 Visitor Badge and Management software, and P-touch Editor 5.0 software for Windows. Not only does this kit easily turn out professional-looking badges, but it's much faster and more efficient than traditional pen and paper check-ins, utilizing databases for managing visitor information and streamlining your check-in processes and security log-keeping. The kit also lets you easily keep records of who enters/exits the building for security purposes, and it generates emergency evacuation reports on-demand.
Create Professional-Looking Badges
Using the QL-570 Label Printer, you can create crisp, high-resolution badges up to 300 x 600 dpi. The powerful VM-100 Visitor Badge and Management software provides over 50 badge templates that are easily customizable to fit your organization's security criteria.
The included P-touch Editor 5.0 for Windows software is easy to install and is compatible with PCs running the Windows operating system. This powerful editing software allows you to import logos, photos and text, and manipulate styles, fonts, and sizes to your liking.
Two Visitor Check-In Modes: Reception or Self Check-In Modes
Manage visitor check-ins using one of two methods: reception mode or self check-in mode. In reception mode, visitors are assisted at check-in--typically by a receptionist--who will then generate a visitor badge.
When using self check-in mode, the visitor enters their own data into a pre-designed screen which automatically generates a badge for the visitor. This mode is perfect for trade shows, workshops, or conferences. When using either mode, the information is logged into a database for generating reports or managing data later.
Print Other Types of Labels Fast
Using the included P-touch Editor software and QL-570 Label Printer, you can print more than just badges. You can also print other types of labels up to 2.4 inches wide, such as shipping labels, name tags, envelope labels, CD/DVD labels, and more.
Enjoy print speeds of up to 68 labels per minute and detailed, accurate imagery as well. The label printer even has a built-in automatic cutter for precise cuts on each and every label. No matter what type of label you create using the Brother QL-570VM Visitor Badge and Management Kit, you'll get professional results every time.
The QL-570VM is compatible with Windows 2000 Professional SP4 or later, XP SP2 or later, and Vista. It measures 5.2 x 5.6 x 8.2 inches (WxHxD) and weighs just 2.5 pounds. It is backed by a two-year limited warranty and exchange service.
What's in the Box
Brother QL-570 Label Printer, VM-100 Visitor Badge and Management Software, P-touch Editor 5.0 software and drivers (included on one CD-ROM), manuals and quick reference guide, 2 DK-N5224 continuous, non-adhesive DK label rolls, 12 badge holders and lanyards, USB cord and power cord.

Reality Bites Public Pensions
U.K. civil servants' retirement accounts could be headed for a crash.
Public-sector pensions are shaping up as one of the defining issues in British politics this year. Barely a week goes by without new announcements, leaks or agitation from various unions. But those who have followed the issue over the years can be forgiven a sense of deja vu: The new government proposes reforms to public-sector pensions, the workers strike and then the government backs down.
This is not an exclusively English disease; all over the world civil servants rally to protect their pensions. And there is a reason that politicians generally back down in the face of unionized resistance: If you are a politician, it is expensive to pay civil servants. So instead you promise workers very generous pensions that don't have to be paid until you are long out of office. No one understands the actual cost of pensions enough to care—for politicians they become someone else's problem. The result is that civil servants typically enjoy very generous benefits. A recent report by the independent Public Sector Pensions Commission calculates that in the U.K., a public-sector pension is equivalent to receiving an extra 44% in salary every year. For some workers, such as police, this additional compensation equals up to an additional 70% each year. Even these figures understate the actual value of pensions, on which workers pay little or no tax and so are roughly worth an extra 10% of base salary.
The costs of these pensions are starting to get out of control, which has motivated the Cameron government to propose raising the pension age, reducing the amount that payments increase every year, and increasing the amount that public-sector workers must contribute to their pensions. Unions' response, perhaps not surprisingly, amounts to "over my dead body."
Unfortunately both the government and the unions are failing to understand the scope of the problem. Even if Westminster fully implements these reforms, Britain's public-sector pension funds could still be headed for bankruptcy. The truth about Britain's public-pension finances should shock any government employees who are expecting to rely on these pensions when they retire. When you or I—private-sector workers—save for our pensions, the money goes into a pot, is invested and accumulates interest. When we retire, our incomes will be paid from that accumulated pot of money.
But in the case of public-sector pensions, workers' and taxpayers' contributions are used to pay for the government's current expenditures. Public workers' pension funds amount only to a promise from the government. This system, known as pay-as-you-go, can work provided that the costs are kept under control and that the population is relatively stable. But in Britain, the last government massively expanded the number and pay of public-sector workers, even as the country's population aged. We will be left with a shrinking working population that has to support a burgeoning retired one.
The total value of the government's promised pensions to public-sector workers comes to about £1 trillion—on top of the U.K.'s official national debt forecast at about £1.1 trillion this year. Even worse, this £1 trillion promise only accounts for the government's current commitments—the number grows every year as workers earn more pension.
The government estimates that if its reforms go through and the economy recovers, it can roughly afford to meet these commitments. With a bit of luck and a following wind, they may be right. But they may not; Britain's working population is set to decline for the first time in its history, rendering uncertain the prospect of economic growth. And public-sector pensions are not the government's only form of unofficial debt. If you add in the also-unfunded national insurance system and other hidden liabilities, our total debt comes to nearly £5 trillion (or three times Britain's gross national income), which puts us in a worse fiscal situation than Greece.
If we are lucky, the economy will grow rapidly and we will be able to pay off our debts. But if, for example, another financial crisis hits or investors lose confidence in the U.K. for whatever reason, we may well not be. It was not surprising when Bill Gross, the world's largest bond investor, said last year that "the U.K. rests on a pile of nitroglycerine." If you are a teacher or a nurse or other public-sector worker, you may think you have a gold plated pension. But what you actually have is an IOU from a body that may eventually have to call in the International Monetary Fund. You should be seriously worried.
Sadly for the aforementioned workers, you are also represented by union bosses who are more interested in furthering their careers than looking after your best interests. If union leaders appreciated the precarious situation of their members' retirement funds, they would be looking to cut a deal with the government by exchanging reduced pensions for greater security—for their members' pension funds to go into a pot that politicians can't touch. That would mean their livelihoods in retirement won't rely on the government's future ability to pay its creditors. It's time for Britain's public sector to catch up to fiscal reality.

"East Atlanta suburb" Avondale Estates by dustmon
Avondale Estates Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 7 photos
Avondale Estates is a suburb of Atlanta very close to Decatur. It is a very close knit area with all residents participating in keeping the local flavor of the village intact. Slow driving speeds and picturesque houses set the tone.
Founded in 1924 by George Willis who purchased thte entire village of Ingelside to found a new planned community. Named after Stratford-On-Avon and somewhat styled to look that way (Tudor-style)

How to make Mexican Grilled Street Corn
When it is in season, fresh sweet corn is amazing no matter how you serve it.

Oven-baked stuffing is a classic Thanksgiving side dish.

Pumpkin is a great addition to yeast breads and rolls because it adds a lot of moisture that keeps the breads nice and soft. It also adds a subtle and slightly sweet flavor to the bread, too.

There are two schools of thought on cornbread. One says that cornbread should be a hearty and savory bread, and that a plainer cornbread is better for soaking up the flavor of chilis and sauces.

Measurement tower
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A measurement tower or met mast is a free standing tower or a removed mast, which carries measuring instruments with meteorological instruments such as thermometers and wind velocity measurers. Measuring towers are an essential component of rocket launching sites, since one must know exact wind conditions for an execution of a rocket start. Also in the proximity of some nuclear power stations (as in Grafenrheinfeld, Germany) there are measuring towers. Beside measurement towers, which are equipped with meteorological measuring instruments, there are also measuring towers for measuring the radiation pattern of antennas. Such towers are frequently implemented as metal-free timber constructions for the avoidance of disturbance of the radiation pattern, as the measuring towers of the antenna measuring position in bridge.[1]

Wind farm development[edit]
Before developers construct a wind farm, they first measure the wind resource on a prospective site by erecting temporary measurement towers. Typically these mount anemometers (wind meters) at a range of heights up to the hub height of the proposed wind turbines, and they log the wind speed data at frequent intervals (e.g. every ten minutes)[2] for at least one year and preferably two or more. The data allow the developer to determine if the site is economically viable for a wind farm, and to choose wind turbines optimized for the local wind speed distribution.

USES: Levalbuterol is used to prevent and treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It is a quick-relief drug. Levalbuterol belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators. It works in the airways by opening breathing passages and relaxing muscles. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. This medication is used with a special machine called a nebulizer that changes the solution to a fine mist that you inhale. Learn how to prepare the solution and use the nebulizer properly. If a child is using this medication, a parent or other responsible adult may need to help the child use the nebulizer properly. If you have any questions, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist.
This product should be clear and colorless. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.
Using the nebulizer, inhale this medication into your lungs as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times a day. Each treatment usually takes about 5 to 15 minutes.

The dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often than prescribed without your doctor's approval. Using too much of this medication will increase your risk of serious (possibly fatal) side effects.
Learn which of your inhalers/medications you should use every day (controller drugs) and which you should use if your breathing suddenly worsens (quick-relief drugs). Ask your doctor ahead of time what you should do if you have new or worsening cough or shortness of breath, wheezing, increased sputum, worsening peak flow meter readings, waking up at night with trouble breathing, if you use your quick-relief inhaler/medication more often (more than 2 days a week), or if your quick-relief inhaler/medication does not seem to be working well. Learn when you can treat sudden breathing problems by yourself and when you must get medical help right away.
Tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen.

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. (AP) -- Merck & Co. reported a 14 percent decline in fourth-quarter profit as generic competition continued to cut into sales of one-time blockbuster medicines, and unfavorable currency exchange rates reduced overseas revenue.
Results fell just short of Wall Street expectations, but company shares appeared to be headed for six-year highs before the opening bell Wednesday after the world's third-biggest drugmaker announced a new and potentially lucrative alliance.
Merck entered into collaboration agreements with three other drugmakers to test its hot experimental cancer drug in combination with theirs. The drug, known only as MK-3475, is in a new class of cancer medicines that are meant to restore the immune systems's natural ability to spot and target cancer cells.
In premarket trading, Merck shares rose $1.11 to $54.62. Shares last traded in that range in early 2008.
Merck reported net income of $781 million, or 26 cents per share, down from $908 million, or 30 cents per share, a year earlier.
The maker of Type 2 diabetes �pill Januvia said that excluding one-time items, net income was $2.6 billion, or 88 cents per share. That's a penny shy of Wall Street expectations, according to a poll by FactSet.
Revenue totaled $11.32 billion, down 4 percent. Analysts expected $11.36 billion.
Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J., forecast 2014 profit of $2.25 to $2.47 per share, or $3.35 to $3.53 per share, excluding one-time items. Analysts are projecting earnings of $3.46 per share.
"In 2013 we took decisive action to sharpen our focus, reduce our cost structure and advance our innovative research and development," CEO Kenneth Frazier said in a statement. "This year we are excited about the potential of our near- and long-term pipeline, poised for long-term growth and committed to providing continued value to patients, customers and our shareholders."
For the full year, Merck reported net income of $4.04 billion, or $1.47 per share, on revenue of $44.03 billion.

(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Florida's foremost pornography fighter, Andy Martin, today sharply criticized the FTC's report calling for more self-regulation by the entertainment industry. ``The report is a 'whole lotta nuttin,''' Martin said.
Martin will hold a telephone news conference at 3:00 p.m. today, September 11 to further comment on what he calls ``fraudulent government action'' and ``biased media reporting'' and to propose the ``Anti-Violence Consumer Empowerment Act of 2001.''
Martin has been an adjunct professor of law and is currently an Independent-Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Florida. He has successfully sued the State of Florida to stop subsidies to pornographic art. Martin is an experienced Capitol Hill advocate and former U.S. Senate staff assistant who has been active in drafting new legislation to confront monopolistic problems in the computer industry.
Martin states: ``The FTC's report is a classic example of 'laboring mightily to bring forth a mouse.' It is governmental fraud. Self-regulation is a complete failure. For years, the liberal news media have heaped coverage on 'Mean Joe Lieberman's' and 'Tough Tipper's' attacks on Hollywood. What have Tipper and Lieberman accomplished? They have been in power for eight years.
``The Democrats are the party of Hollywood, violence and crypto-pornography. Democrats are the enemies of children and the party of profound hypocrisy on violence issues.
``The Republican establishment is not much better. They have their noses pressed to the glass, seeking to glean more Holly-dollars from the depraved elite.
``Media bias cannot be denied. Today's New York Times has front-page coverage on Gore's and Lieberman's response to the FTC report. Why were they given such prominent treatment without any fair and equal opportunity being given to the Republicans? Liberal media bias is a sickness which infects our society and our elections.
``Can we really say that government 'investigated' violence for another year and yet came forward with no legislative proposal? Today I am releasing a proposed statute.
``I speak for Democrats, Republican and Independents who are fed up with both parties. That is why I am running as an Independent-Republican to speak for all voters. My two principal senate opponents are political toadies who are afraid to offend their media contributors or their party overlords.
``At my news conference I will release the 'Anti-Violence Consumer Empowerment Act of 2001.' This proposed law would give consumers the qualified right to sue Hollywood for distributing obscene or violent materials. In my opinion, and in the opinion of most parents, violence is a form of obscenity. While violent 'art' is entitled to substantial constitutional protection, it is no more entitled to a free pass than obscenity is.
``Courts have long distinguished between 'indecent' materials, which are protected, and obscene materials, which are not. Why not allow parents to sue Hollywood in court and allow judges and juries to draw these distinctions as to violent materials? The purveyors of filth and violence would clean up their acts very quickly -- without any need for government regulation.''
Copies of the proposed new law will be available at the news conference.
For media interviews or to participate in the news conference please call campaign headquarters at (888) 320-ANDY. Fax: (888)769-ANDY.

Auto Deductions, Tousa, Tribune, Lehman: Bankruptcy
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments yesterday on the first of two bankruptcy cases to be decided in the term that began this week. The argument was the first heard by Elena Kagan since she was sworn in as an associate justice on the court.
The case will decide whether an individual in Chapter 13 bankruptcy may take an auto expense deduction for a vehicle owned free and clear. The outcome of the case affects how much creditors must be repaid under a Chapter 13 plan when there is no loan outstanding against a car.
If the auto deduction can be taken in absence of a car loan, the individual in Chapter 13 will have less disposable income and would thereby be permitted to discharge debt while paying less to unsecured creditors. The U.S. courts of appeal are split 3-1 on the answer.
The case turns on what Congress meant when it used the word "applicable." The case, known as Ransom, results from ambiguities introduced into the federal bankruptcy law when Congress tightened rules for individual bankrupts in 2005.
Chief Justice John Roberts summed up the reaction of several justices when he said that the arguments by both sides ultimately lead to "absurd results." With regard to policy issues, Justice Roberts asked why a bankrupt should be worse off for paying off an auto loan in advance of bankruptcy.
Justice Antonin Scalia honed in on the exact language of the statute and asked where the law says that deductions can be taken in the "amount specified if applicable."
Although the newest on the court, Justice Kagan wasn't afraid to ask questions during oral argument. Except for Justice Clarence Thomas, all of the justices participated actively in questioning the lawyers.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled in August 2009 that the deduction may not be taken when there is no debt on the auto. Courts in St. Louis, New Orleans and Chicago ruled the other way.
In a decision also in August 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals in St. Louis allowed the expense deduction, saying the result was commanded by the literal wording of the statute adopted by Congress. The two judges in the majority said they were not persuaded by contrary arguments based on "broad statements of legislative intent.
The dissenting judge in the St. Louis case followed the San Francisco court, which said that disallowing the expense deduction for a lien-free auto comported with congressional intent "intended 'to ensure that debtors repay creditors the maximum they can afford.'"
For additional discussion of the issue, click here and read the June 17 Bloomberg bankruptcy report under the heading "Advance Sheets."
The case in the Supreme Court is Ransom v. MBNA, 09-907, U.S. Supreme Court.
The decision in the 9th Circuit is Ransom v. MBNA America Bank, NA (In re Ransom), 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (San Francisco). The 8th Circuit ruling going the other way is eCast Settlement Corp. v. Washburn (In re Washburn), 08-2023, 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (St. Louis). The prior circuit court cases also allowing the deduction are Tate v. Bolen (In re Tate), 08-60953, 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (New Orleans), and Ross-Tousey v. Neary (In re Ross-Tousey), 07-2503, 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (Chicago).
Tousa Directors Lose Motion to Dismiss Creditor Suit
Directors of homebuilder Tousa Inc. lost a motion in which they were attempting to dismiss a lawsuit filed against them by the official creditors' committee for breach of duty to the company. Although the directors wrote 447 pages of briefs explaining why they couldn't be sued, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John K. Olson wrote a 25-page opinion yesterday explaining why they could.
The committee's suit relied largely the same facts that led Olson in October 2009 to rule that bailing out an affiliate six months before Chapter 11 resulted in fraudulent transfers that could be recovered from secured lenders. To read about the suit and other Tousa fraudulent transfer litigation, click here to see the Jan. 8 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
The directors argued that Delaware law gave them no fiduciary duties to creditors of subsidiaries. Since the suit was brought on behalf of the subsidiaries or their creditors, the directors contended they had no liability.
Olson disagreed with the premise of the directors' motion to dismiss the complaint. He said there is "no basis in law for the proposition that the directors of an insolvent subsidiary can permit it to be plundered for the parent's benefit." He said that "Delaware law expressly rejects the notion that directors of a corporation owe no fiduciary duties" to an affiliate they control.
Three times in the opinion, Olson said that some of the directors' arguments were "frivolous."
Olson also rejected the directors' argument that the committee was improperly suing for wrongs done to creditors. He pointed out how he authorized the committee to file suits based on wrongs done to the subsidiaries. The so-called derivative claims brought by the committee are proper, Olson said.
A derivative claim typically is one in which shareholders sue to redress a wrong done to the company. When a company becomes insolvent like Tousa, Olson pointed to the law in Delaware, where creditors have the right to bring claims for wrongs done to the company.
In denying the directors' motion to dismiss, Olson was required to assume the truth of the allegations in the committee's complaint. The directors can still win the case by showing that the committee is wrong on the facts.
When Olson found the lenders liable last year for receiving fraudulent transfers, he required the banks to post $700 million in bonds to hold up enforcement of the judgment pending appeal. The appeal is to be argued this month in U.S. District Court. The suits are based on a theory that pledging assets of the operating subsidiaries was a fraudulent transfer because the subsidiaries received no benefit from a bailout and refinancing in mid-2007 of a joint venture in Transeastern Properties Inc.
Tousa has a hearing scheduled on Oct. 27 for approval of a disclosure statement explaining the Chapter 11 plan filed in July. For a summary of the plan, click here for the July 20 Bloomberg bankruptcy report. The plan assumes appellate courts uphold the judgment the creditors' committee won in October 2009 against the lenders.
Tousa filed for bankruptcy reorganization in January 2008. The Hollywood, Florida-based company listed assets of $2.1 billion against debt totaling $2 billion. At the outset of the reorganization it was 67 percent-owned by Technical Olympic SA.
The case is In re Tousa Inc., 08-10928, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida (Fort Lauderdale).
American Mortgage Has Plan Approval After Narrower Releases
American Mortgage Acceptance Co. has a confirmed Chapter 11 plan that established a template for the extent of third-party releases that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn in New York is willing to allow.
At a hearing in June, Glenn refused to approve American Mortgage's disclosure statement because the plan would have given blanket releases to officers and directors, in the process prohibiting suits by shareholders and creditors. American Mortgage revised the plan. Glenn signed a confirmation order yesterday approving the plan which contains more narrow releases for third parties.
Under the approved version of the plan, creditors and shareholders aren't being precluded from suing American Mortgage's officers, directors, employees and advisers for violations of state or federal securities laws. Creditors will be precluded from filing suits of other types.
American Mortgage itself can't sue the officers, directors, employees, and advisers. Likewise, shareholders can't file so-called derivative suits where they are suing in the name of the company.
The revised plan trimmed down indemnifications American Mortgage can give to its directors and officers. Now, directors and officers will be indemnified only to the extent there was a pre-bankruptcy law or agreement that called for indemnification. The surviving indemnification obligations will represent unsecured claims against American Mortgage not extinguished by the plan.
Glenn allowed the plan to protect those who participated in the plan-negotiation and confirmation process, so long as there were no gross negligence or willful misconduct.
American Mortgage was a real estate investment trust that had $666 million of assets in 2007. It now has two creditors. To read about the original version of the plan, click here for the May 14 Bloomberg bankruptcy report.
The case is In re American Mortgage Acceptance Co., 10-12196, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).
New Filing
International Garden, Rose Grower, Files in Delaware
International Garden Products Inc. from Damascus, Oregon, filed for Chapter 11 reorganization yesterday in Delaware along with four affiliates. Through its Iseli Nursery Inc. affiliate, the company produces dwarf conifers and Japanese maples. The Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower affiliate is one of the largest growers of roses in the U.S., a company statement said.
IGP blamed the filing in part on $27 million in what it called legacy contingent liabilities on leases for a business that was sold. The recession resulted in lower sales, and a customer named Jackson & Perkins Wholesale Inc. went bankrupt and didn't take delivery for a rose bush order for spring 2010. The Chapter 11 case is to be financed with a secured $7.5 million loan provided by a group led by Harris NA.
IGP owes $30.7 million on a secured revolving credit and $13 million on a secured term loan.
The company said that customers can place orders for the 2011 season with "complete confidence."
EF Private Equity Partners (Americas) LP has more than half of the common stock and the Series A preferred stock.
The company has more than $10 million in debt and assets, the petition says. IGP is a supplier for independent garden stores, landscapers, and landscape suppliers.
The case is In re International Garden Products Inc., 10-13207, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Briefly Noted
Loose Contract Leads to Long Lehman, Barclays Lawsuit
When U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James M. Peck authorized Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to sell the North American investment banking business to Barclays Plc four days after the Chapter 11 filing in September 2009, he permitted changes in the sale so long as they weren't material. The result has been a trial in progress since April, where Lehman accuses Barclays of taking billions of dollars more assets than the judge permitted.

Tribune Reorganization Plan Due by Oct. 15, Judge Rules
Publisher Tribune Co. and any creditor wishing to propose a reorganization must file a Chapter 11 plan by Oct. 15, the bankruptcy judge said at a hearing yesterday. Tribune lost the exclusive right to propose a plan because it's been in Chapter 11 for more than 18 months.
Tribune said last week that it reached agreement on a plan to be co-sponsored by creditors Oaktree Capital Management LP and Angelo Gordon & Co. LP. The official creditors' committee immediately came out in opposition, saying the new company plan would "not provide fair value to all creditors."
Tribune had a plan on file that it withdrew in August following a report by the examiner who concluded that there was some likelihood that the second phase of the leveraged buyout in December 2007 could be attacked successfully as a constructively fraudulent transfer. The examiner found less likelihood that the first phase of the transaction, in June 2007, could be unraveled as a fraudulent transfer. For a summary of some of the examiner's conclusions, click here for the July 27 Bloomberg bankruptcy report. Tribune's abandoned plan would have forced a settlement of the LBO claims on terms that some creditors opposed.
For details on the withdrawn plan, the proposed settlement, and the parties' arguments, click here for the April 13 Bloomberg bankruptcy report. For a rundown on the new plan by Tribune, Oaktree, and Angelo Gordon, click here for the Sept. 29 Bloomberg bankruptcy report. For Bloomberg coverage on yesterday's hearing, click here.
The $13.7 billion leveraged buyout in 2007 was led by Sam Zell.
Tribune is the second-largest newspaper publisher in the U.S. It listed $13 billion in debt for borrowed money and assets of $7.6 billion in the Chapter 11 reorganization begun in December 2008. It owns the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, six other newspapers and 23 television stations.
The case is In re Tribune Co., 08-13141, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District Delaware (Wilmington).

Watch List
Loehmann's Tenders for Secured Notes, Interest Missed
Loehmann's Inc., a discount retailer with more than 60 stores in 16 states, is making a tender offer for the $110 million in senior secured notes. Meanwhile, Loehmann's won't be making the interest payment due Oct. 1, Standard & Poor's said.
The notes, which are to mature in 2011, can be exchanged for new notes in the same amount, maturing in 2014, so long as the tender is made by Oct. 13. Anyone tendering later will receive $970 for each $1,000 in old bonds.
In the event of a payment default, S&P said that holders of the old notes likely won't recover more than 10 percent.
The private exchange offer will expire on Oct. 27 unless extended. To complete the exchange, at least 97 percent of the old bonds must be tendered.
The Bronx, New York-based company is owned indirectly by Istithmar PJSC, an investment firm owned by the government of Dubai.
Loehmann's emerged from a 14-month Chapter 11 reorganization with a confirmed plan in September 2000. At the time, it was operating 44 stores in 17 states.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aunt Sara Super! Lots of negative reviews about how the rug sheds like crazy; will it did shed, but not any more than I thought it would. I just love my rug, got it in the ivory color which is closer to beige but it matches perfect! Very happy. July 5, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by nbb1963 Sheds a lot Bought two of these rugs; keep one in each of my bathrooms. While they are soft and (somewhat) fluffy they shed like crazy when you wash them. And given that I keep them in the bathroom I like for them to be clean. They shed so bad that they clogged my dryer lint screen. June 6, 2016

City Making Biking Safer
posted by September 12 at 16:24 PMon
Bryce Lewis, the 19-year-old cyclist who was tragically killed by a dump truck last Friday, was riding a fixed-gear bike (that's the model above) with a single front brake through what is widely known as one of the most dangerous intersections in Seattle. Coming down the hill off Harvard, it's easy to reach speeds topping 30 miles an hour, and even if you're going slowly, drivers still pay way too little attention—as I learned when I was hit in the exact same spot a year and a half ago, by a left-turning driver who pulled into my path (also known as the bike lane) too quickly for me to stop.
But riding a fixie is inherently, undeniably, more dangerous than riding a bike with gears and brakes. When you're on a fixie, you can't coast downhill, and slowing down quickly—say, when you see a car turning into your path—is nearly impossible. Without brakes, they're death machines in a hilly city like Seattle, especially for the inexperienced (and with fixies more popular than ever, that describes a whole lot of the people riding them). Even with a brake, they're hard to stop—you can't slam on the brake or you'll flip the bike.
Whether Lewis or the driver of the dump truck was a fault has been debated endlessly, but may ultimately be irrelevant. My two cents is this: Lewis was following the law (forward-moving traffic has right-of-way over right-turning traffic at a green light, and passing on the right is legal in a bike lane), but was riding dangerously fast, especially for that intersection, especially given that the bike he was riding was extremely hard to stop. Technically, the dump truck driver appears to have been at fault, but as every cyclist knows, it's up to us to look out for them, because we're the ones who always lose in bike/vehicle collisions. Fair? No. Drivers should be more aware of cyclists too—much more aware. (In addition to my three accidents, I've had countless near-misses with drivers who broke the law and nearly smashed into me.) But looking out for cars—hell, assuming they don't see you and don't care if they hit you—is how you avoid being hit.
On the other hand, that intersection (where a ghost bike, pictured above, has been installed; photo by Denny Trimble) is notoriously dangerous. Five years ago, bike planners at the city identified Eastlake as "the most heavily used north-south corridor" in Seattle and "strongly recommended" doing something about it. So are they? I've got a call in to the Seattle Department of Transportation's media relations person to find out, but my guess is no. The city has been extremely slow to support innovative ideas that could make bikers safer and more visible, including blue lanes (which Denny at Metroblogging Seattle talks about here), phased pedestrian lights (which turn green before the main signal to give bikers a chance to make it into an intersection), and bike-only signals. The city actually did get as far as discussing the installation of blue lanes and bike boxes (road markings that allow bikes to get ahead of cars and make bikes much more visible) way back in 2003, but neither proposal ever went anywhere. That's a shame. Bikers do have a responsibility to watch out for cars, but the city has a responsibility to make them as safe as possible, too.
In other news, Seattle Likes Bikes is organizing a memorial ride for Lewis. I'll post details as soon as I have them.

I'm getting a strange problem when preloading caches:
I have it set to preload the most recent 400 posts, which initially works, but when it's in the process of caching them, suddenly the preloading process goes haywire. It deletes the caches of the most recent 100 posts, then resets and starts caching from the 101th post and older instead. I don't understand why it's doing this. It should simply be preloading caches from the most recent post I have, not the 101th most recent post that I published last year.
The net result is that none of my very most recent content is cached.
