Plus, amendments to the bankruptcy code, put in place in 2005, create another hurdle for distressed retailers. Under the new rules, a retailer now has only 210 days after filing for Chapter 11 to accept or reject its existing lease agreements (pre-2005, the companies could liberally extend a 60-day time limitation). Clearance sales typically give the bankrupt company a cash infusion to help pay off the DIP loans. But if a company can't reorganize in 210 days, and is forced to cancel its leases, it won't have a place to sell its goods. No sale means...

In 2005, Oscar-Winner Halle Berry made headlines with an overemotional parody of her Academy Awards acceptance speech while taking home the Worst Actress award for Catwoman...
...mainstream Labor Party did so but said the air strikes should have ended after the first three days to keep down the civilian casualties. "The electorate now has a deep hatred of Arabs, such distrust," says Vilan. "They see us as Arab lovers, and they don't accept that we're patriots fighting for the long-term interests of Israel." Polls suggest that neither party is expected to increase its representation in the Knesset in the Feb. 10 election, and the odds are on the Gaza war's helping sweep a right-wing coalition into power...
