Pfizer Inc.'s Quigley unit, a former asbestos maker, was denied permission to exit bankruptcy by a judge who found the world's largest drug company manipulated the bankruptcy process to benefit itself.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart M. Bernstein in New York yesterday rejected Quigley's fourth reorganization plan and said parties should discuss dismissal of the case. He said the plan was filed in "bad faith" by Pfizer and cited testimony that asbestos claims directed at Quigley could total $4.45 billion over the next 42 years. To read details of the ruling, click here.
Quigley, founded in 1916, made three products containing asbestos from the 1940s to the 1970s. It was bought by Pfizer in 1968.
The case is In re Quigley Co., 04-15739, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Truvo USA Gets Permission to Send Plan to Creditors for Vote
Truvo USA LLC, a bankrupt directory publisher, won court permission to move forward with its restructuring plan by sending the proposal to creditors for voting.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez in New York yesterday approved a summary of the plan, known as a disclosure statement, in a written order, allowing voting to proceed. Truvo's unsecured creditors, including AllianceBernstein LP, are fighting the plan.
Truvo, a unit of Truvo Luxembourg Sarl, publishes print and online telephone directories in Europe. It filed for bankruptcy in July with a restructuring plan to give control of the company to senior lenders with claims of 777.6 million euros ($991 million) plus interest.
The case is In re Truvo USA LLC, 10-13513, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Capmark Creditor Committee Opposes Disputed Loan Deal
Low-ranking creditors of Capmark Financial Group Inc. will fight the bankrupt company's plan to use most of its remaining cash to repay a $1.5 billion loan made by a group that includes Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi scheduled a two- day hearing beginning Oct. 14 to resolve a dispute over the loan, which the unsecured creditors committee claims wasn't legitimate. Capmark and the lenders behind the loan have signed a deal that would repay most of the loan's principal balance and protect the lenders from legal liability. To read Bloomberg coverage, click here.
At the October hearing, Sontchi will decide whether to approve the deal between the lenders and Capmark. If he doesn't, he may allow lower-ranking creditors to file a lawsuit challenging the loan's legitimacy.
Capmark, based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, is partly owned by KKR & Co. and Goldman Sachs. The committee, which represents lower-ranking creditors, says the loan was a fraudulent transfer because it did nothing but exchange unsecured debt held by the lenders for a secured loan that would have a higher repayment priority.
The committee is seeking permission to file a lawsuit that would reduce the loan's higher repayment status. Should Sontchi approve the settlement between Capmark and its lenders, the committee would be unable to challenge the loan. Other lenders include Bank of America NA, Citicorp North America Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Capmark filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 25, blaming falling property values and a drop in lending.
The case is In re Capmark Financial Group Inc., 09-13684, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Credit Suisse Can't Collect From Yellowstone Founder
Credit Suisse Group AG's "greedy antics" bar it from collecting $229 million on a soured loan the bank arranged for the Yellowstone Club, a ski resort for millionaires, a court ruled.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ralph B. Kirscher in Butte, Montana, ordered Yellowstone co-founder Tim Blixseth to pay $40 million to the club's creditors but nothing to Credit Suisse.
While under Blixseth's control, Yellowstone borrowed $375 million, according to court records. Afterward, Blixseth paid himself, through a company he controlled, $209 million, Kirscher wrote in an earlier ruling.
After Yellowstone filed for bankruptcy in 2008, Credit Suisse tried to collect from Blixseth. A bankruptcy trustee sued Blixseth last year in an attempt to collect on behalf of Credit Suisse and other Yellowstone creditors.
Blixseth and his former wife, Edra, founded Yellowstone Club in 2000. Wealthy people flocked to the resort, paying $205 million for 72 properties in 2005 alone. The couple took cash out of the syndicated loan for personal use, Kirscher found. Finances at the club deteriorated thereafter, he wrote.
Edra Blixseth gained sole control after the couple's divorce. She declared personal bankruptcy in March 2009, claiming her debt was $500 million to $1 billion and her assets were worth $100 million to $500 million.
The bankruptcy case is In re Yellowstone Mountain Club LLC, 08-61570, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Montana (Butte). The lawsuit is Blixseth v. Kirschner, 09-00014, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Montana (Butte).
Circuit City Wins Court Approval of Liquidation Plan
Circuit City Stores Inc., the bankrupt retailer of televisions and computers, won court approval of its amended liquidation plan.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Huennekens in Richmond, Virginia, today approved the liquidating plan that will pay unsecured creditors at least 10 percent on claims totaling from $1.8 billion to $2 billion. Most of the secured claims have been paid.
Circuit City sought bankruptcy protection in November 2008 after suppliers, concerned about declining sales at almost 1,500 U.S. and Canadian stores, cut off credit and demanded cash up- front for shipments.
Once a 721-store electronics retailer, Circuit City paid off all except about $5 million to $20 million in secured claims through proceeds from store liquidations.
The Chapter 11 petition filed in Richmond, where the company is based, listed assets of $3.4 billion and debt of $2.3 billion as of Aug. 31, 2008. The company originally said it owed $898 million to secured revolving credit lenders. Unsecured trade suppliers were owed another $650 million at the outset, the company said in a court filing.
The case is In Re Circuit City Stores Inc., 08-35653, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Virginia (Richmond).
Chemtura Corp. Wins Dismissal of Some Claims Over Chemical
Chemtura Corp. won the dismissal of claims from five companies that sought contributions for liabilities tied to a butter flavor chemical sold by the bankrupt plastic-additives maker.
The claims will be expunged, except claims for defense costs, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber said an order entered yesterday in Manhattan court. Chemtura was named in 28 lawsuits related to the flavoring chemical, diacetyl, before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
From 1982 to 2005, Chemtura's Canadian unit made and shipped diacetyl to companies that resold it or put it into food products such as microwave popcorn. In 2001, tort plaintiffs began filing lawsuits, alleging that they were harmed by the chemical. To read Bloomberg coverage click here.
The case is In re Chemtura Corp., 09-11233, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Mexicana Has Two Potential Investors, Pilot Union Chief Says
Cia. Mexicana de Aviacion has two potential investors interested in saving the airline after a Mexico judge declared the company in bankruptcy, the pilots' union chief said.
Fernando Perfecto, head of Mexicana's pilots' union, made the remarks in an interview on Radio Formula. He didn't provide details on the investors.
A Mexico City-based judge declared the airline to be in bankruptcy this week, a month after the company filed for protection from creditors in Mexico and under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
U.K.'s Connaught Says It Has Appointed Joint Administrators
Connaught Plc, the U.K. public-housing maintenance company, announced the appointment of joint administrators after saying yesterday that the business as a whole had failed to secure "sufficient support" to trade as a going concern.
KPMG's Richard Heis, Richard Hill and Richard Fleming have been appointed administrators to Exeter, England-based Connaught Plc, and Heis, Mark Firmin, Brian Green and David Costley-Wood are appointed joint administrators to Connaught Partnerships Ltd., the company said in a statement yesterday. Connaught Environmental and Connaught Compliance have not been placed into administration.
Initiatives to reach a "satisfactory conclusion" on additional funding and restructuring of its financing failed, Connaught said. On Aug. 6, the company said a review showed it will record a full-year "material loss" on earnings before interest, tax and amortization. In June, Connaught predicted sales would fall by about 80 million pounds ($124 million) for 2010, following the U.K. coalition government's emergency budget.
Connaught has received "numerous expressions of interest" for the environmental and compliance businesses, which continue to trade normally, KPMG said. Jefferson County Sewer to Get Receiver, Bankruptcy Judge Says
An Alabama Circuit Court judge said he intends to appoint a receiver to manage Jefferson County's insolvent sewer system, two years after the bondholders' trustee sued to improve the system's operation and boost fees to repay more than $3 billion of debt.
Judge Albert Johnson said in court yesterday in Birmingham that he will interview people for the position and decide on the receiver's authority.
The Bank of New York Mellon Corp., the trustee for $3.2 billion of Jefferson County sewer bonds, sued the state's most populous county two years ago, saying it was unable to manage the sewer system.
Jefferson County, which includes Birmingham and has more than 600,000 residents, has struggled to avoid the biggest U.S. municipal bankruptcy after a sewer refinancing arranged in 2002 and 2003 by JPMorgan Chase & Co. collapsed during the credit crisis.
Most of Jefferson County's auction-rate securities are held by JPMorgan and Bank of America Corp., according to the county.
JPMorgan, Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America and six other banks also hold about $850 million of Jefferson County's floating-rate sewer bonds under agreements that required them to purchase the debt if other investors couldn't be found.
The banks, which have the right to demand accelerated repayment on that debt, have given the county a reprieve while it negotiates to restructure the bonds.
The Gores Group Completes Purchase of National Envelope Assets
The Gores Group LLC announced that it completed its acquisition of substantially all the assets of National Envelope Corp., the largest closely held envelope maker in the U.S.
Gores, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm with about $2.9 billion of capital under management, won court approval from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Peter J. Walsh on Aug. 23 to buy the assets for about $208 million, according to court documents.
"NEC is the market leader in the merchant/wholesale channel, with meaningful growth opportunities in the attractive consumer market," Jordan W. Katz, Managing Director of Gores, said in a Sept. 7 statement.
Gores paid about $149.9 million in cash, the assumption of about $20 million in debt the company owes to International Paper Co. and a $37.7 million note, according to NEC lawyer Josef S. Athanas.
National Envelope filed for bankruptcy protection June 10, listing assets and debt of as much as $500 million each. The envelope maker has 14 factories across the U.S. and about 3,390 employees, according to court filings. The company, with 21 percent of the $3.7 billion North American envelope market in 2008, produces about 37 billion envelopes a year.
The lead case is In re NEC Holdings Corp., 10-11890, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Tribune Names Head of Restructuring Effort
Tribune Co. promoted Don Liebentritt, its general counsel, to chief restructuring officer as it attempts to lift itself out of bankruptcy protection, the Associated Press reported yesterday.
The publisher, which owns the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune as well as other newspapers and TV stations, says Liebentritt will focus exclusively on the company's negotiations with creditors.
A deal fell apart last month after a court-appointed examiner found that some of the negotiations leading up to a 2007 leveraged buyout that took Tribune private bordered on fraud. That deal would have brought Tribune out of bankruptcy under a reorganization plan that would have turned the company over to JPMorgan Chase and distressed-debt specialist Angelo, Gordon & Co.
Bondholders looking to get more of their money back have criticized the deal and the man who put it together, real estate mogul Sam Zell.
Tribune filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2008 after the buyout saddled it with more debt than it could handle as the recession hurt advertising revenue across the newspaper industry.

Sorry, but they won't go away. This has been going on since this board first opened. Just put them on ignore.
Use the ignore function. It does work.
Sure they will, since Fannie and Freddie are also clarifying the rules on what they can force the banks to buy back. The banks want to loan. The reason they have held back is precisely because the rules were so open to interpretation. If the banks feel comfortable that the rules are clear, they will loan to whomever the feds allow them to. After all, it's the feds who will be buying the loans.
Yes, but consider how many shares the bank had outstanding when it was that price. If I remember correctly, it had about 3.5 billion shares while today it as over 10 billion shares. Even with factoring in the negative of Countrywide and the positive of Merrill, you'll find that the real prices aren't all that far apart today.
Exactly. If interest rates stay at this level, bank net interest margins are going to be squeezed.
Not if interest rates keep going down. Net interest margins are going to be squeezed at these levels. The rates banks pay to borrow funds are about as low as they are going to get, so if the rates they are able to charge customers for mortgages and such go down, banks make less money. That means they'd have to make it up somewhere else, and guess where that is, fees, fees, fees.
I have a couple of issues with your assumptions. 1. The interest banks pay for funds is about as low as they can possibly go, so if mortgage rates go lower, that will cut into the interest spread banks make money on. They aren't going to be real excited to do that. 2. The decline in oil prices will most likely have the biggest impact on shale oil drilling in this country, which is exactly where the current boom in the oil industry has been taking place, a la fracking. It's expensive. Potential job losses could be huge. 3. Retail may or may not go up. Yes, Christmas hiring will boost employment, but most will be low paying, part time jobs, with no guarantee they'll last the entire season. There are always both positive and negative consequences to price moves in oil and interest rates. Don't lose sight of both or you could be in for a very nasty surprise.
Really? Serious people think we could reach 250,000 new cases a week? A little alarmist aren't you?
Fine, keep your blinders on. You'll find that it's Ebola that most people haven't got a clue about or even care.
Look at oil, bond prices, and the PPI. All are signalling deflation, which is every economists nightmare.
Hardly. It's oil and the PPI, which actually signaled deflation. Look at bond prices. Ebola is nothing if we are looking at deflationary reality.
Please, you think this is caused by the Ebola news? Do you live under a rock?
Hard to say. The market has been trying to talk itself into a major correction for some time now, so it's hard to say how long or how low, or if it won't turn green this afternoon. I'm just glad I decided to go defensive last week.
Historically, BAC stock hardly ever reacts the way people expect on earnings day. It's usually one of the best days to sit back and watch the fun while everyone else screams and hollers about how stupid the stock is.
I think people tend to forget that trying to predict how BAC stock is going to react after earnings is virtually impossible. Historically it has almost always done exactly the opposite of what everyone expects. There is hardly ever any reason to the action of the stock on earnings day.
LOL! He's been posting that prediction for weeks.
Not to mention those who have nothing better to do that comment about those "dumbtards."
LOL! You badmouth one of the posters that has posted more about BAC than anyone else for many years. Careful, your true stripes are showing.
Promises, promises. You'll be back, and you'll still only be a complainer without contributing anything to the discussion about BAC.

Violent porn media to be illegal to possess in UK
caluml (551744) writes | more than 6 years ago0
Backlash writes "Massive surveillance? Check. Building a DNA database? Check. Laws against thought crime? Not yet, but coming very soon.
The UK government is soon to pass legislation that would criminalise possession of certain types of "violent" pornography, even if it was part of a consensual session between two adults.
Lord Wallace of Tankerness pointed out an ideological schism during last week's debate in the House of Lords.
"If no sexual offence is being committed it seems very odd indeed that there should be an offence for having an image of something which was not an offence," he said. "Having engaged in it consensually would not be a crime, but to have a photograph of it in one's possession would be a crime. That does not seem to make sense to me."
First they came for the people that viewed "violent" pornography, and I did not speak out."

Whether you tune in for the banter between investors, to find out about cool products, learn how to launch a business, to hear Mr. Wonderful say, "You're dead to me," or even to watch a grown man sob on screen, it's no surprise the ABC show has had its highest rated season yet.

Man, Shark Tank is so good — it stinks to see it leave for summer vacay. Fortunately, the ABC reality show about aspiring entrepreneurs will air two episodes back-to-back beginning at 8/7c on Friday, during which Mark Cuban will have a big confrontation with fellow Shark Kevin O'Leary.

Greenfield — The next time Whitnall wrestlers step onto the mat, it may be as part of a combined team with wrestlers from Greendale High School.
The Whitnall School Board decided last week it will pursue the many approvals needed to combine its wrestling program with Greendale's.
Greendale, which has seen a slide in participation in its wrestling program, asked to combine with Whitnall, Scott Bruening, Whitnall athletic and activities director, reported to the Whitnall School Board.
"Our numbers are kind of going down as well," he said. Three years ago, Whitnall's wrestling program had 37 students; it had 33 this year and is projecting 29 for the 2014-15 school year, he said.
Greendale's program is much smaller with 12 wrestlers three years ago, 17 this year and six expected next year.
Combining would help both programs, Bruening said, and would bring money in from Greendale to reduce wrestling program operating costs. Greendale would pay for one of the four wrestling coaches and would pay Whitnall's athletic and activity fee, he added.
Combining could save $4,700, which Bruening called "relatively substantial."
Even so, School Board member Eileen Valaitis worried that Whitnall wrestlers might be bumped from the team.
"We're doing a disservice to some of our students," she said.
"There might be a displacement of varsity athletes," Bruening acknowledged. But there would be a no-cut policy for a time, he said.
The hope is for the plan to go into effect this fall. But before that, approvals must be obtained from the WIAA, Woodland Conference schools and others.
The Whitnall Board approved a potential two-year agreement with Greendale.

University of Granada scientists have proved this in an experiment in rats that examined the effects of a high-protein diet on renal urinary, plasma and morphological parameters.Read: The Atkins diet The researchers studied 20 Wistar rats, divided into two groups of 10. The first group were fed a high-protein diet of commercial hydrolysed protein supplements with a 45% protein level. The control group were fed a normal protein diet. The experiment lasted 12 weeks, which is the equivalent of 9 years in human terms. 10% weight loss The results showed that the rats on a high-protein diet lost up to 10% of their body weight over the 12 weeks with no improvement in their plasma lipid profile. Moreover, urinary citrate in these rats was 88% lower and urinary pH was 15% more acidic. In the animals fed a high-protein diet, kidney weight increased by 22%, glomerular area – the network of capillaries that filter blood in the kidneys – by 13%, and the mesangium – a collagen structure surrounded by these capillaries –by 32%.Read: The Paleo dietSerious long-term effects The results of this study lead the principle author, Dr Virginia A Aparicio of the University of Granada Department of Physiology, to stress the need to closely monitor anyone on a high-protein diet. The Dukan diet, and others like it, can have serious long-term adverse effects on their health. She warns that the negative effects of high-protein diets on the kidney also depend on the presence of other nutrients in the diet. Read: The Tim Noakes diet"Eating large amounts of fruit and vegetables reduces the risk of kidney stones forming – probably due to their high potassium and magnesium content, which compensates for the acidity of the high-protein diet," Dr Aparicio concludes.Read more:VIDEO: The facts on carbs by Tim NoakesHigh-protein diets: are they safe?The dangers of high-protein slimming dietsWhy high-protein diets workTim Noakes: refined carbs may be toxic EurekAlert More in Diet and nutrition The negative health effects of Genetically Modified foods and how to negate them More: Diet and nutritionHealthy diets SPONSORED: So many prizes!

Study: Natural Menopause Treatment May Ease Depression & Anxiety
Posted Mar 22 2010 12:27pm
If your peri-menopause and menopause symptoms include depression and anxiety, there's good news! A new medical study on red clover shows relief may be closer than you think!
By Colette Bouchez
If you're one of millions of women doing daily battle with hot flashes , night sweats, and other symptoms of menopause, you may be already turning to one or more herbal remedies to make life easier.
Now a new study shows that one of those remedies – a natural compound known as red clover – may also help boost your mood, alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety by as much as 80 percent.
That's the conclusion of new research conducted at the General Teaching Hospital in Korneuberg, Austria, where women taking red clover supplements for just 90 days saw dramatic symptom relief.
"Although clinical data regarding phytoestrogens [ a type of weak natural estrogen that comes from plants] and mood disorders is still scarce, the present series determined that red clover derived isoflavones were effective in reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms among post menopausal women," write the study authors in the paper recently published in the journal
Isoflavones are an "umbrella" term covering a number of compounds known as "plant estrogens" or "phytoestrogens". Among the most potent are believed to be daidzen and genistein, both of which are also found in soy – one reason it has been frequently touted as a way to reduce menopause symptoms.
But as I explain in greater detail in my books
" The Hot Flash Solution "
"Your Perfectly Pampered Menopause"
, these same compounds are found in much greater amounts in red clover. Moreover, while some research has suggested that soy based products may increase the risk of estrogen-sensitive cancers in some women ( particularly breast cancer), the same is
not true
for red clover. Indeed, studies show it does not carry the same risks as some suggest are linked to soy.
More specifically a number of studies have shown that while red clover acts like an estrogen in terms of mediating menopausal symptoms, it does so without increasing breast tissue density or increasing the thickness of the uterine lining - both of which can occur with traditional hormone therapy.
Red Clover, Menopause And Depression
Although the "classic" signs of menopause – the ones we always hear about – are common problems like hot flashes and night sweats, for many women equally as troubling are the mood swings, anger, anxiety and depression that can slowly seep into our daily lives in the years following " the change."
Certainly, there has been some research suggesting that it is, in fact, the preponderance of physical symptoms, including not only hot flashes and night sweats, but also sleep disturbances that are the real culprits behind the mood changes. And as any woman who is sleep deprived can tell you, a lack of shut eye makes everything seem worse.
That said, other research has strongly suggested that the mood changes of menopause occur independent of the physical symptoms - and certainly this latest study on red clover helps bolster that point of view.
In the new study 109 post menopausal women over age 40 underwent mental status testing and were scored using The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a system used to measure and quantify depression and anxiety symptoms. The group was then randomly assigned to receive either 80 mg of red clover isoflavones twice daily , or a placebo, for a total of 90 days. Afterwards, the women were again tested and scored for anxiety and depressive symptoms.
The study result:
The women taking the red clover experienced a whopping 76 percent reduction in anxiety and a 78 percent reduction in depressive symptoms, compared to only a 21 percent reduction in these symptoms among women taking the placebo.
Not All Red Clover Alike
Now if you're grabbing for your car keys and heading right to health food store to pick up some red clover ...
not so fast.
What's important to note is that not all red clover is created equal!
Like soy, it is a legume - but unfortunately it's not quite as easy to consume in its natural food state. While it is available as a tea, an infusion, and in various forms of "dried leaf products", not all are created equal. That's because a variety of factors can greatly influence the level of key compounds found in red clover - including the conditions under which the plants are grown, when in their life cycle they are harvested, and the portion of the plant used in making the food product.
For these reasons the most reliable form of red clover may be found in supplements. And here again, you have to be a bit mindful of which one you choose. Key thing to look for : That supplement is "standardized" to contain at least 40mg of four key isoflavones including genistein, daidzein, formononetin and biochanin A.
Also important – that the compounds come directly from the red clover plant with no chemical synthesization.
If you have trouble choosing a brand, it may help to know that the one form of Red Clover used in most of the clinical trials – including research on over 1,000 women worldwide – is Promensil. My independent research has shown it is also the brand most often recommended by physicians who suggest isoflavone supplement use. However, there are other supplements on the market that may be equal in terms of what they can provide. For more independent information on how to choose a red clover supplement,

Villopoto Takes Back the Points Lead in Dallas
Irvine, Calif. (April 4, 2011) – Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto reclaimed the points lead in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM championship at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Determined to get back on the podium and reclaim his position on top of the points standings, Villopoto came to Arlington with his game face on. He rode with consistent determination on the technical track, patiently working his way into the runner-up position by the end of the main event.
Working his way through the pack, Villopoto was charging through the field to catch the front-runners. On Lap 3, the Washington native and James Stewart collided in the corner after the whoops section, causing both riders to go down. With damage to his bike, Villopoto was forced to pull into the mechanics area for repairs. He recovered to finish ninth.
Good Luck to No Luck, Villopoto Heads to Canada 7 Points Up
After a putting himself into good position all year, Villopoto wasn't able to find the same fortune in Jacksonville. In the heat race, Villopoto went down after a rider crashed in front of him, leaving him nowhere to go. Lucky to ride off uninjured, he lined up for the LCQ. He got a good jump, but as everyone funneled into the first turn, Villopoto got pushed off he track and came around outside the top-10. He was unable to move into the top-two positions during the short six-lap race.
Villopoto Takes Fifth Win in Indianapolis and Significantly Extends Points Lead
INDIANAPOLIS (March 12, 2011) – Tonight, 60,789 fans greeted the 10th race of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, in Indianapolis as Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto, of Poulsbo, Wash., won his fifth race of the season.

In the US, we are in the "Walking Season" when JDRF asks us to walk to raise money for a cure. So I'd like to do my part, by reminding you all of how important JDRF is to the human trials of potential cures for type-1 diabetes, which I track.
Let me give you the punch line up front: 70% of the treatments currently in human trials have been funded by JDRF. (And the number is 71% for the later phase trials) This is a strong impact; one that any non-profit should be proud of.…Continue

Today I went in to see my primary doctor. The official reason was to follow up on an infected bug bite I've been dealing with since July 3rd. The real reason I was there was to push the issue of terrible leg pain that I've been trying to have addressed for a long time.
The doctor came in and asked how I've been doing. "Oh, alright, I'm OK."
"Not too good? Could be better?"
"Well, I have an issue I need addressed and I'd like to discuss with you."
""Well, let's…Continue

I'm having a hard time with getting the insulin to restart after I change a cartridge. I've spoken with the customer support folks, my Endo, and the pump instructor, and no one can seem to figure it out.
Anyone having similar issues?

So I've been pumping with my first pump (the Animas Ping) since late afternoon on Friday, making today day #4.
I have to say I'm diggin' the insulin pump! Since hooking up, my blood sugars have been more or less perfect, minus a few (not drastic) lows actually (a few 60's and 70's)My doc has me checking 6 to 8 times a day for the time being.
We still have some tweaking to do with my basal rates, but I go back to my doc in about two weeks so she can upload my BG readings and…Continue

Hi Folks,
I hope you find it interesting/helpful.
I have been taking Humalog insulin since last 1 month. I have been avoiding exercise during this time as it may bring my numbers too low. Prior to insulin I used to go to gym or walk for 30 minutes after meals.
I want to achieve a new perfect bg @ 2hrs post meals in 80s. However what I have observed is that it may be 120 or 130 at 2 hour mark. It may be that I ate more than I covered for.
So I just do very little…

This weekend rocked :-) Not only did I get a naked shower on Saturday. Yes, a naked shower, you know that magical time when your sensor and site need to be changed on the same day.... I also ran in my first 10k, not only did I not spike during the middle of the run but I also didn't crash in the afternoon. Oh and the 10k was finished in just under an hour. Went to my parents for a lunch of grilled salmon and roasted veggies right out of their garden. Then I had Thai food for supper with a…Continue

It's pretty consistent that I have at least one doctor appointment per week these days. That's how it is when you go so long with type I diabetes and no insurance. When you finally get insurance again, you spend all your time fixing everything that's been falling apart for years.
Today I saw my cataract specialist for a follow-up on my lens replacement. I had surgery exactly one month ago to replace the lens in my right eye with an artificial lens. Six months ago, when I first saw an…Continue

Midnight Ghost
A Short Story
By Manelle Oliphant
Text and illustrations © 2014 by Manelle Oliphant
waited in the dark hallway. I bounced slightly from the excitement of seeing her again. Every night for months I'd watched her glide down the hallway, but tonight was All Saints' Eve when the gate between the dead and the living would be open. Maybe this time we would be able to talk, and I could tell her that…that I loved her.
I moved closer to the wall to be out of her way. She always walked the same path. Twice she's drifted through me when I wasn't quick enough to stand aside. It felt horrible, a ghost on your inside, cold and damp.
The distant grandfather clock chimed midnight. I held my breath.
She appeared at the end of the hallway and drifted toward me. She wore a flowing dress old-fashioned dress and glowed white with a purple tinge. She grew closer and I smelled lavender. I smiled. She always smelled like lavender. Her colorless eyes looked sad but kind. They must have been green eyes when she still lived. I had never seen a more beautiful woman.
She drifted by me so close that if I put out my hand I could touch her. I imagined her warm and alive, soft hair and laughing lips. I sighed.
The slight wind from my breath blew across the hallway. Her form flickered and everything changed.
Her sad eyes turned to dark holes and she turned to me. Her face twisted in anger. "Why do you always watch me?"
I shrank back toward the wall. A cold despair wrapped around my heart. All my fond feelings disappeared.
She rushed closer. The lavender smell disappeared, replaced by the smell of rotten fruit. Her dark, now soulless, eyes were only a few inches from my face.
"Why?" she shouted at me again. Her chin melted downward as she spoke, and her mouth grew into a gaping hole. Her voice, still feminine but louder, boomed around the hallway and vibrated in my chest.
My mouth opened but words wouldn't form.
"Ahhhhh!" she gave a frustrated scream. Her spirit form grew in size and her soft purple glow turned to red.
I tried to speak. "I….I…" She moved closer still. I thought she would swallow me whole but as she came forward the last chime on the clock sounded and she disappeared.
I stood in dark silence. I took a shallow breath and reached in my pocket for my candle. My hands shook. I used three matches before the candle lit. I was alone except for the grim family portraits hanging in a line across the hall. I felt sure their eyes watched me. A notion, that before, I always thought rather silly.
I walked toward the stairs. I wanted to run but couldn't risk extinguishing my light. At the end of the hallway moonlight shown through a tall window and illuminated the main entrance at the bottom of the stairs. Now I ran. My candle went out. I let it go. Behind me I heard crashes and wails. A few times cold air brushed my skin. At the bottom of the stairs I yanked open the door and rushed outside.
I ran down the drive and only looked back at the house once. Lights shown through every window and the ghosts made a ruckus the likes of which I had never heard before or since. When I arrived earlier I felt excited, but the ghost's unexpected, violent anger changed all my feelings. I knew I would never be back. Stupid idea, falling in love with a ghost.
The End

Victor Santos' graphic novel was published in November 2013. According to the press release, "the adrenaline-pumping action-thriller tells the story of Black Kaiser, a master assassin forced out of retirement when he finds himself the target of a motley crew of new generation hitmen."
Jayson Rothwell will write the screenplay. The movie studio is currently looking to hire a director to helm this project.

Anna Todd, the first-time author whose online fan fiction series After became a Wattpad sensation, has had a big month.
Publishing one chapter at a time, Todd racked up 1 billion reads online and gained avid fans worldwide. Last week, Paramount Pictures announced it had acquired screen rights, and this week, After was pubbed newly revised and expanded in a paperback from Gallery Books, part of a six-figure, multi-book deal with further print releases set for this November 18, December 30, and February 10, 2015.
Talking with Alexandra Alter, Todd told the New York Times that she began as a Wattpad reader, hooked on serialized fictional stories about British boy band One Direction. In 2013, she started writing her own fiction about a female college freshman who gets involved with a tattooed, lip-ringed, cute, tousled-haired guy named Harry Styles.
"I didn't think anyone would read it." … She updated "After" with a new chapter every day to meet readers' demands and tapped out much of the book on her cellphone. She wrote for five hours a day and spent three hours trading messages with readers on Wattpad, Twitter and Instagram and drew on those comments to help her shape the story.
"The only way I know how to write is socially and getting immediate feedback on my phone," she said.
Todd also told Alter that she receives threats daily from angry One Direction fans on Twitter and Tumblr, which explains why, as Alter reports, in the print After the romantic lead is no longer Harry Styles but Hardin Scott. We'll know soon enough if After is as big in print for $16 as it is online at Wattpad, where it remains free.
In other Wattpad news, the site is currently hosting two contests. "Share your Yes moment," cohosted with HarperCollins, is the call for the Yes Please by Amy Poehler Writing Contest. They want to hear about a moment when your life changed because of saying yes. The Yes Please prize pack includes a tweet shout-out from Amy's Smart Girls. And, to celebrate Margaret Atwood's Stone Mattress, fans are asked to write a piece of fanfiction inspired by her Freeze-Dried Groom on Wattpad. Atwood will choose and recognize the winning story.

Fox is developing an Archie Comics TV drama called Riverdale.
It will feature several characters from the Archie universe including Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle, Jughead Jones, Kevin Keller, and Josie & The Pussycats. Warner Brothers Studios and Greg Berlanti's Berlanti Productions will partner together to produce this project.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will work on the writing. He gave this statement in the press release: "This is something we've been working on for awhile now, figuring out the best way to bring these characters to life for what will be, essentially, the first time. The entire team working on Riverdale is as passionate about Archie as Jon and I are, so it feels like the stars have finally aligned for Archie and the rest of the gang."

Though the weather outside has been dreary, some of this diversity news has been anything but!
This week, the We Need Diverse Books campaign announced that they're naming an award in honor of the late, great Walter Dean Myers! They are currently raising money through their IndieGoGo campaign and the hashtag #SupportWNDB.
School Library Journal and #WNDB also announced their collaboration. The collaboration will include a diversity-themed event at the 2016 ALA Midwinter conference and support for the diversity-themed festival to be held in the Washington, D.C. area in 2016.
We're also excited to see all of the diverse movies being released:
The Book of Life, the Mexican-themed fantasy-adventure was released last week! Manolo, an adventurer, travels through magical worlds to rescue his one true love and defend his village from death!
Dear White People, the comedy-satire that started as a Youtube concept trailer premieres today. Dear White People was the winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival's Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent. This comedy is a clever satire of race relations in the age of Obama.
Disney's next heroine will be Moana. The eponymous film will be about a teenaged explorer from Oceania who travels the ocean with a demigod named Maui in search of an island. It's set to be released in 2016!
Have you seen any great news about diversity this week?

There are a lot of great horror, but I have a group of students who want to read the genre, but don't care to get scared. And with that, the birth of this list began. This is a collaborative list, and I am so thankful to the librarians who helped are out there. Some I've read, some I haven't, but with collective expertise, this could be a helpful list for humorous horror :)

JacketFlap tags: how to pre-plot and complete a novel or memoir in a month: the benefits of writing a fast draft from, The Goal of NaNoWriMo and Writing a Novel in a Month, Add a tag
The goal next month is not to write a polished novel. Next month's goal and every fast-writing goal is simply to write the barebones, foundation, design, essence, promise of a story -- words, lots and lots of words -- with the idea of going back and revising after the month is up.
1) Visualize yourself letting go, writing with abandon, sleeping, eating, breathing your story for an entire month, becoming obsessive of your writing time and compulsive about writing, letting the real world drop away as you fully enter the exotic world of your story. Without judgement, criticism or shame, see yourself writing for the pure joy of putting one word after another in the spirit of creating something out of nothing but a fragment, a wisp, a dream…
2) Clear your calendar of everything next month.
3) Schedule in your writing, sleeping, writing, eating, writing, plotting, dreaming, writing time.
4) See yourself writing everyday joyfully.
(NOTE: don't worry about your plot or if you're starting in the right place or any of the details. We'll get to that in December. For now, give yourself permission to completely give yourself to writing your story.
For plot help before, during and after writing a novel in a month, take my Plot Whisperer books along:
1) The Plot Whisperer Workbook: Step-by-step Exercises to Help You Create Compelling Stories
2) The Plot Whisperer: Secrets of Story Structure Any Writer Can Master
3) The Plot Whisperer Book of Writing Prompts: Easy Exercises to Get You Writing.
To continue writing and revising (and, lots of writers are finding PlotWriMo the exact right resource to help pre-plot for a powerful first draft. Knowing what to look for in a revision helps create a tighter first draft):

|"Leaf Sprite" Tin
|"Believe in Yourself" Original Art Journal
I believe it is healthy to be inspired by others. Jesus asked us to follow Him, do as He did. It isn't mentioned to be inspired, but He inspires me to be loving, caring, and full of grace. Yet on the other hand, there's a line that can be crossed into changing just to be accepted, to feel worthy, or to gain superficially.
I asked a fundamental question in church one Sunday about six months ago...Who Am I? I prayed to be shown who God says I am. It's a very large struggle of mine - for many of us - and it's been present for as long as I can remember.
My Quest? To feel free to be who I was designed to be. The other night I stumbled upon Kelly Rae Robert's website. An artist I have always been drawn to and admire, yet just now actually following her. She openly shares her self discovery, and while reading her website it clicked. Her story, along with her business, creative soul, being a first time mom, and insecurities that are faced made me realize I'm OK.
|"Dance to Your Own Beat" Original Art Journal
I felt this release to BE ME. You could actually see the JOY in her. The PEACE within herself. I have been seeking peace my whole life, especially since my daughter was born. It could be the new mommy stress and sleeplessness, but I believe it's old stuff heightened.
I have this tribal, gentle, feisty, fiery self inside waiting to take off and FLY.
Who am I? Who do you say I am?Another thought Kelly brought to my heart through her writing, was her understanding of who she is. A seeker of Joy. She lives for joy through and through. I am meditating on this. If there was one word to describe me - humm...I'm not sure yet. I'm still figuring this out, but it gives me one thing..focus for my spirit, soul, art, and not just for me, but for my daughter Norah (light), and my husband Brian (strength).
I am free to be who you created me to be. I am free to express my light with no fear of what this world will say.
I was given an imagination to share. To lift peoples hearts, to bring them peace and love. To take them into their dreams and fantastical places.
I am a person and soul very much loved. I am loved by SO MANY people! I am so filled with love I even have some left over to give. I am more full, more accepted, then I ever realized.
I am a child of light, of His light. A light of love. I am His child filled with the grace, mercy, power, love, strength, courage, and forgiving spirit that He has. I am a child of light called to share my light. I am NOT darkness, I am NOT pain, I am NOT disgusting, dirty, unforgivable, or hopeless.
My name, Sara, means princess. I want to be a princess of dreams and light.

Pottermore has announced that J.K. Rowling intends to give us a treat, instead of a trick, this Halloween. Our favorite author has penned new material to add to Professor Umbridge's character profile on Pottermore. The new addition will be a 1,700 word back story of the infamous Dolorous Umbridge. The update post on Pottermore reads:

"Umbridge is not only one of the most malicious Potter characters, she is the only person other than Lord Voldemort to leave a permanent physical scar on Harry. The new exclusive J.K. Rowling content provides a rich, 1,700-word back story about Umbridge's life filled with many new details, as well as Rowling's revealing first-person thoughts and reflections about the character."

With Halloween just one week away, we're getting into the spirit of the season with these 13 quotes on the writing life from famous authors of horror, thriller and suspense:
1. "So where do the ideas—the salable ideas—come from? They come from my nightmares. Not the night-time variety, as a rule, but the ones that hide just beyond the doorway that separates the conscious from the unconscious."
—Stephen King, "The Horror Writer Market and the Ten Bears," November 1973, WD
2. "The first thing you have to know about writing is that it is something you must do everyday. There are two reasons for this rule: Getting the work done and connecting with your unconscious mind."
—Walter Mosley
3. "I hope people are reading my work in the future. I hope I have done more than frightened a couple of generations. I hope I've inspired a few people one way or another."
—Richard Matheson
4. "When one is writing a novel in the first person, one must be that person."
—Daphne du Maurier
5. "When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books."
—R.L. Stine
6. "[Horror fiction] shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion."
—Clive Barker
7. "Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem."
—Edgar Allan Poe
8. "I have always loved to use fear, to take it and comprehend it and make it work and consolidate a situation where I was afraid and take it whole and work from there."
—Shirley Jackson
9. "Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and nonfiction. And even there, who can be sure?"
—Tanith Lee
10. "I always wanted to be in the world of entertainment. I just love the idea of an audience being happy with what I am doing. Writing is showbusiness for shy people. That's how I see it."
—Lee Child
11. "I don't think there is enough respect in general for the time it takes to write consistently good fiction. Too many people think they will master writing overnight, or that they are as good as they will ever be."
—Tananarive Due
12. "What I love about the thriller form is that it makes you write a story. You can't get lost in your own genius, which is a dangerous place for writers. You don't want to ever get complacent. If a book starts going too well, I usually know there's a problem. I need to struggle. I need that self-doubt. I need to think it's not the best thing ever."
—Harlan Coben, WD Interview, January 2011
13. "My reason for writing stories is to give myself the satisfaction of visualising more clearly and detailedly and stably the vague, elusive, fragmentary impressions of wonder, beauty, and adventurous expectancy which are conveyed to me by certain sights (scenic, architectural, atmospheric, etc.), ideas, occurrences, and images encountered in art and literature."
