Once novelists get past the pitfall of their second book – reputedly the one hardest to pull off, especially after a widely acclaimed first outing – they tend to take one of two courses: more of the same, which can get a bit dull, or versatility. Anthony Quinn (also this newspaper's film critic) has courageously taken this second route.
He won plaudits and prizes for his debut, The Rescue Man, set in Second World War Liverpool, his home town. And then he did even better with Half of the Human Race, the tale of the turbulent romance between a Suffragette and a cricketer at the start of the 20th century. The Streets sees him branching out, and cements his reputation as an accomplished and challenging novelist.
First, though, the common threads with what has gone before. The Streets contains what has become Quinn's trademark – a complete immersion in the novelist's chosen period, this time the slums of north London in the 1880s. As young reporter David Wildeblood starts work for a high-minded journal, his task is to bring to life in print the daily routines of down-at-heel Somers Town for his campaigning proprietor, Henry Marchmont. This Wildeblood achieves, after a few false starts, right down to their distinctive dialect, and is radicalised in the process.
What has previously made Quinn's writing so compelling is his ability to mesh that total immersion with a compelling human story, and central characters who are so much more than ciphers or cut-outs. It is a trickier than it sounds. Too much social history and readers might wonder, why not turn instead to non-fiction? Too much on the lives and loves of the people of Somers Town, and it could trivialise a broader discussion about the causes and cures of poverty. But The Streets pulls it off, even managing a teasing, slower burn in the opening chapter before gathering pace.
And the new dimension? The Streets is also a thriller. The flawed Wildeblood is brought face-to-face with the flaws of those around him as he is drawn into the murky world of Victorian do-gooders whose motives are not quite as pure as they may seem. It leads to him become an inmate of a Dickensian workhouse and risk his life to get to the bottom of who is profiting by the abject misery of poor.
But Dickens is perhaps the wrong name to highlight here. Instead Quinn, as he notes in his afterword, draws on the work of the Liverpool-born philanthropist and mapper of Victorian poverty, Charles Booth, and another campaigner, Henry Mayhew (who in his turn influenced Dickens). The novel makes me want to learn more about both. Though it takes place 130 years ago, the questions that The Streets poses about how, as a society and individuals, we tackle deprivation arguably remain just as pertinent, especially when we have a cabinet with more than its fair share of wealthy Etonians struggling to find answers to our current economic woes.

Telefónica Black snatches Volvo Race lead
by Volvo media on 25 Oct 2008
Telefonica Black passes through the scoring gate at Fernando de Noronha, on leg 1 of the Volvo Ocean Race - Image Rick Tomlinson / Volvo Ocean Race©
At 13:00 GMT today, Friday, Spain's Telefónica Black (Fernando Echávarri) snatched the lead to head the field by just two miles, with Green Dragon (Ian Walker/GBR) and PUMA (Ken Read/USA), breathing down their necks, just two and three nautical miles behind them.
It was back to business as the fleet charged down the coast of Brazil, trade wind sailing, Southern Hemisphere style. There is still over 3,000 nautical miles to the finish and before the fleet can head for the 'tavern of the seas', they have to skirt the South Atlantic High which means at least 1000 nm of sailing in what almost feels the wrong direction.
'It's quite depressing to be sailing and getting no nearer to the finish line,' wrote the skipper of Green Dragon, Ian Walker/GBR, who's fragile lead has just evaporated. 'Today feels a bit like the morning after a big night out – only without the hangover. Personally I feel a bit tired right now and I am sure it is down to not eating and drinking enough. Green Dragon is not sailing as fast as, Ericsson 4, PUMA and Telefónica Black.'It is clear that the boats behind are a little quicker than us in stability conditions, but we are going to fight tooth and nail,' Walker said.
The fleet is jib top sailing approximately 55 nm off Sao Luis do Quitunde on the Brazilian coast, with masses of water over the deck as the teams sail almost upwind on port tack. 'Man, are these boats wet,' exclaimed Andreas Hanakamp/AUT (Team Russia). 'Every hour we bail 10 buckets out of the boat.'
As the boats head south, Stu Bannatyne/NZL from Ericsson 4 reports that subtle changes to living conditions are now occurring. 'With each passing day, the temperature is slowly decreasing and with it we can use the bunk fans a bit less, and even some extra items of clothing are now appearing,' he says. He added that he is now wearing sea boots after a period of days when just barefoot was preferable.
As this leg reaches its half way point, the food menus onboard have now rotated several times and meal times are less of a focal point. For some, like Ian Walker, they are an evil necessity.
'I hate freeze-dried food. I have perfected the art of getting the food (that's what they call it), from my spoon to my throat with minimal contact with my mouth, lips or tongue – the teeth play a key role in getting it off the spoon – there is certainly no chewing required,' he described today.
For now the teams can only look forward to the anticipated freeing breeze which will make conditions for sleep easier than the back-breaking jolts the crews currently have to put up with.
During the last three hours (1000 position report), the fleet has been making steady inroads into the lead. The top four boats are within eight miles of each other after 14 days of racing and the spread of the fleet, from first to eighth is 87 nm.
Delta Lloyd (Ger O'Rourke/IRL) and Ericsson 3 (Anders Lewander/SWE) who enjoyed a spell at the head of the fleet, are toughing it out together, just two miles apart, while Telefónica Blue (Bouwe Bekking/NED) is only 24 nm off the lead.
There was no visit from King Neptune to this boat, but Bekking had had a personal chat with the King who agreed to visit the boat at a later date. 'We are racing and not partying right now,' says Bekking explaining that King Neptune will now become angrier. 'Harder torture for the first-timers,' he says. 'It is the first time for Pablo Arrarte and he is very worried.'
The fastest 24-hour run has been Telefónica Black (378nm) but the whole fleet has averaged over 325 nm. Telefónica Black had the highest average boat speed of 17 knots over the last three hours, two and a half knots faster than Green Dragon.

"What exactly is your job anyway, Josef?"
"I'm... do you remember the Tsar? I'm like the Tsar."
"You would have done better to have become a priest."Josef Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili) was a Georgian who ruled the Soviet Union from 1925 until his death in 1953, the second undisputed ruler after Vladimir Lenin. He was born on 18th of December 1878 (Old Russian Calender —December 6th) but he changed his birthday in 1925 (to the 21st of December 1879, Old Russian — December 9th)note . He was fluent in Georgian, Russian, and Greek; proficient in German and French; and knew a smattering of English. He never bought a pair of shoes in his life, making and repairing his own from a young age. He could speed-read at an incredible pace, had an excellent memory, never forgot anyone's name, and had an early photograph in which he appeared to be reading with his finger suppressed. He liked to sing tenor, loved Tolstoy, and would frequently write to his favourite contemporary authors to complain about spelling or grammatical errors. He made a number of lifelong friendships, was eminently charmismatic when he put his mind to it, and managed to match wits with H. G. Wells himself in a face-to-face interview. Politically and diplomatically, he was marked by a remarkably astute practice of Realpolitik. Stalin was also an extraordinarily damaged human being. He seems to have been insecure among his peers because (unlike the other Old Bolsheviks) he had never traveled abroad, was not truly fluent in French or German (or English), and always spoke with a noticeable Georgian accent. He did not take insults lightly, held grudges for decades until he could act upon them, and delighted in the suffering and even the deaths of people who had slighted him. Politically, he was steadfast believer in the paramount importance of Marxist-Leninist ideological purity even when this created enormous practical problems and human suffering in practice. Politically and diplomatically, he made gross errors which almost brought about the destruction of the Soviet Union (Collectivisation, Operation Barbarossa). Stalin was ultimately responsible for the avoidable deaths of some 10-12 million Soviet civilians because he believed that (as Lenin put it) "that which is good for the Revolution is good", and the avoidable deaths of some 2-3 million Soviet soldiers because he didn't want to believe he'd been Out-Gambitted. While Stalin was ultimately responsible for the human cost of his rule, as we have documentary evidence that he was fully aware of it, approved of it and conceived or ordered actions that contributed to it, there is considerable room for quibbling over the role played by his subordinates. An entire generation of idealistic and opportunistic bureaucrats, including Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev, encouraged Stalin's paranoid and ruthless tendencies out of genuine belief, for personal gain, or both. After Stalin's death these men attempted to pin sole responsibility upon Stalin to avoid implicating themselves, with Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" to the 20th Party Congress on the 25th of March 1956 inaugurating this development. Western European scholarship of the time took this assertion and ran with it, but from the late 1990s onward (after the opening of the Soviet Archives) scholars began to appreciate that much of Stalin's policies had a sizable consensus among party elites and even the peoples of the Soviet Union. Here we should distinguish very clearly between the Collectivisation measures of the Second Five-Year Plan of 1928-1933 and the Purges of 1935-38. Stalin pushed the former from above over the objections of experts and Regional governments, but in the latter was met halfway by Local government figures (like Nikita Khrushchev) and even some ordinary citizens trying to remove experts and Regional government figures so they could rise through the ranks and make the regional governments responsive to central control. The historiography of Stalin largely centers upon whether he was an all-knowing sadist, a largely oblivious puppet of the Soviet bureaucracy, or something inbetween - the lattermost being the view best supported by the evidence. Robert Conquest is the best example of the first school, and in the 1970s he claimed that Stalin had deliberately killed 50-60 million people. Back then, this figure seemed reasonable given Anglo-American estimates of 'extraordinary' deaths resulting from the Soviet-German War (deaths which would not otherwise have occurred of natural causes, e.g. cancer), which were put at 10-20 million (versus the actual figure of 25-27 extraordinary and 10+ million 'ordinary' deaths of people who would have died of natural causes within the next two decades anyway). note Today the best living biographers of Stalin, Stephen Kotkin and the brothers Roy & Zhores Medvedev, put the number of 'avoidable' deaths under Stalin's leadership at about 10-12 million. This can be broken down into some 6-8 million dead in the 1932-4 famines resulting from the forcible collectivisation of agriculture note and lack of national-level provision of food aid, about 2 million from disease and overwork as state prisoners during WWII (as the Soviet State prioritized the importation of rare materials necessary for war production over the high-calorie-content food products necessary to keep prisoners alive), about 1 million dead in the 1946-7 famines which resulted from the wartime overuse of poor soils and poor provision of food-aid, 750k dead in the Purges of 1935-38, and several tens of thousands more dead in prison or from execution by the NKVD/NKGB during Stalin's tenure. Popular memory of Stalin revolves around his post-1928 paranoia note , his stance on religion note , and his role as a Leader of an Allied country during the War, where he became etched as Hitler's Arch-Enemynote . The supposed circumstances of his death, dying of a preventable stroke because his personal bodyguard were too afraid to disturb him and left him alone for twelve hours, were actually a fabrication. This is the only detail common to all four of the falsified accounts of Stalin's final hours (by Nikita Khruschev, Anasatas Mikoyan, the chief of Stalin's MGB guard detail Colonel Starostin, and Starostin's deputy-chief Lozgachev). The current most accepted guess of Roy and Zhores Medvedev is that Starostin left Stalin untreated out of a pragmatic desire to benefit from the timing of Stalin's crippling or death. Stalin was ultimately, it seems, too amiable and trusting with his staff. note It's a topic of debate and controversy whether Stalin had an authentic Marxist visionnote , whether his policies are a reversal of Lenin or merely an extension of the most dubious aspects of his administrationnote , if his regime was the inevitable end-product of the Communist and Revolutionary ideology or the end result of any attempts to bring changes in Russia. His Cult of Personality and posthumous elevation of Lenin as a founding figure, legitimated the regime and extended its lifespan to the extent the Soviet Union lasted 37 years after his death. His policies of rapid industrialization played a crucial role in the Soviet Union's victory over the Nazis, in their rise to a superpower and their building of nuclear weapons. Stalin's rule lasted for 30 years, so he was the longest-lasting ruler of the group of Nations comprising the Soviet Union, and in addition to that, he remains for the present moment, the longest-lasting ruler of Russia since Catherine the Great who reigned for 34 yearsnote

- Stalin is the main antagonist of the second half of The Prayer Warriors Threat of Satanic Commonism, in which a group of fundamentalist Christians travel back in time to prevent the Communists from coming to power and killing Christians. There are too many historical inaccuracies to list, but the fact that his predecessor is called "John Lennon" should give some idea of what kind of work this is.
- The extraordinarily weird American propaganda film Mission to Moscow (1943) features a Stalin who is an enlightened, wise leader bringing Russia into a freer, more democratic future.
- Robert Duvall played him in an 1992 television movie on HBO.
- The 1998 Russian film, Khrustalyov, My Car! by director Aleksei German is set in the final days of Stalinist Russia in the climate of the anti-semitic crackdown of the "Doctor's Plot". We get a glimpse of Stalin's ugly, messy Karmic Death.
- Played by Aleksey Petrenko in the 2009 HBO wartime biopic of Churchill Into the Storm (2009).
- Played by Colin Blakeley in the 1983 TV film Red Monarch. Based on Soviet dissident Yuri Krotkov's essays, it satirizes Stalin's paranoid leadership style in the final years of his life.
- Played by Michael Caine in the TV miniseries When Lions Roared.
- The 1996 Australian comedy film Children of the Revolution revolves around Joe, the lovechild of a brief affair between Stalin and an Australian woman who meets him while on a study trip to the USSR shortly before his death. Stalin is played by F. Murray Abraham.
- Shows up as a fresh-faced, gregarious young revolutionary and acolyte of Lenin in Nicholas and Alexandra.
- George Orwell:
- In Animal Farm, Napoleon is clearly meant to be Stalin. A scene where all the animals ducked from an explosion was changed to have Napoleon stand firm - Orwell hated Stalin, but acknowledged that his staying in Moscow, when it would be far easier to leave, showed that for all his monstrosity and enormous flaws, he did have some balls. Orwell contacted what sources he could in eastern Europe to find out if Stalin really had stayed in Moscow at the war's low point. Finding out from enough people that he had, Orwell asked his publishers to change that one line. It was not so much out of admiration as out of a wish to be fair on Orwell's part, and to not be too alienating to the rather pro-Soviet audiencenote .
- And Nineteen Eighty-Four, where "Big Brother" is essentially the Cult of Personality of Stalin with the face of Adolf Hitler. Though it is a little too beholden to the Trotskyist belief that "Big Brother" is merely a cover and shield for the nomenklatura for it to be really any kind of accurate satire on Stalin.
- Arthur Koestler's novel Darkness at Noon refers to him only as "No. 1," though it's mentioned that he had been called many names.
- Makes several appearances in Alternate History stories by Harry Turtledove:
- In Worldwar, he's the same as the historical Stalin, leading the Soviet Union through WW2 after the aliens invade, and eventually being succeeded by Foreign Minister Molotov (who was sidelined and forced out of the Party in real life).
- In TL-191, he's one of the leaders of the Communist fighters in Tsaritsyn (which became Stalingrad in our timeline - Historical In-Joke), being referred to by the Western media as "The Man of Steel", the literal translation of "Stalin". In the end, the Communists lose and Tsarism is reasserted.
- Which is a fairly accurate picture of what he was really doing at the time. Stalingrad was in fact named after him BEFORE his rise to power due to his command of the city's defense and his eventual victory over the besieging Whites.
- In the short story Joe Steele, his family emigrates to America and he becomes a dictatorial politician in the USA.
- In the Darkness series, which is basically WW2 with Fantasy Counterpart Cultures, Stalin's equivalent is the mad King Swemmel of Unkerlant, who had his twin brother Kyot (analogue of Trotsky) murdered.
- Similarly, he's the title character in Michael Moorcock's The Steel Tsar.
- The The Adventures of Samurai Cat books have him and Hitler as relatively genial buddies, oddly. World War II was just a bet between them to see who could kill more Russians; the loser ended up working for the winner. And they all became werewolves. Even Hitler. And, oddly, neither Tomokato nor Shiro could kill him. For the series being very loose with reality and history (a samurai who's heard of the Chicago Cubs in 16th century Japan, while discussing their awfulness with Prohibition-era gangsters).
- In Greg Bear's Vitals, Stalin funded a rogue biologist's research into immortality through the use of specially bred bacteria. And the plan succeeded. Sadly, the successful implementation of the procedure takes a toll on the subject's mind and involves being sealed into in a iron-lung style container half-filled with growth medium and bacteria. The book's protagonist finds him (along with other ex-Soviet leaders) in such a state in a secret chamber underneath downtown Manhattan.
- In the Wild Cards superhero setting, Stalin's death is shrouded in mystery; there's a rumour that he was done in by one of his aides after turning into a vampire.
- In Adam Robert's novel Yellow Blue Tibia, in 1946 he commissions a group of young Soviet science fiction writers to devise a fake propaganda story about an invasion of the Soviet Union by radiation aliens in order to unite the Soviet people in opposing them. Forty years later, one of the authors,Konstantin Sckvorecky, believes that the story is becoming reality when the events of Chernobyl and the Challenger disaster mirror the ones in the story. He dreams that Stalin appears to him and informs him that he (Stalin) is an alien himself and knew the invasion would come, although the book is vague as to whether this was a dream or not.
- In the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, it's implied Stalin is actually a son of Hades. In fact, its Wiki outright states it.
- A short story by Anatoli Kudravcev features Stalin and Hitler as progressors of an advanced allien race attempting to save the planet from overpopulation. They discuss the way they can prolong the conflict but ultimately conclude that humanity is doomed despite their best efforts.
Live-Action TV
- Sent up here by Eric Idle, Henry Woolf and David Batley in Rutland Weekend Television. A genial Stalin played by Eric Idle shows you how to cook Omelette Stalin, in Communist Kitchen. note
Whenever you've shot all the people to shoot, and you've shot the firing squad too...
Tabletop Games
- In GURPS Technomancer, Stalin did not die in 1953, he was merely put into magical stasis-sleep-type-thing to be awakened when Motherland will be in danger. He awoke in 1996, after Communism fell, and started a civil war to oust democrats and capitalists from his country.
- In the 1938 musical Leave it to Me!, Stalin appears at the end of the first act to give "Comrade Alonzo" (the American ambassador) a kiss on the cheek.
- Appears in Robert Bolt's 1977 play State of Revolution, unsurprisingly as the villain (with Lenin and Trotsky as protagonists). Stalin's Establishing Character Moment has him confronting the leader of the Georgian Communist Party, coolly telling him "I am here to purge your party."
Video Games
- The instigator of WWII in the Alternate History game Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Stalin is the leader of the Soviet side and is one of the evilest and most psychotic portrayals of the man and, frighteningly, this portrayal was pretty accurate of the man himself, from paranoia leading to execution of officers to mass murder on civilians. However, he's woefully lacking in the Magnificent Bastard department. This seals his fate: he ultimately dies, differently depending on which side you're on.
- Also in the game Stalin vs. Martians.
- Assassin's Creed II lists him as one of four Knights Templar who orchestrated World War II (the other three being FDR, Churchill and Hitler), and who controlled his subjects using an artifact that granted mind control over the populace. He was eventually killed by one of the eponymous assassins.
- In Civilization I Stalin is the default Russian leader, the Premier of the USSR in the stock WWII scenario of II, a secondary character in III and one of the possible leaders of Russia in IV. As an AI, he's kind of a hardass, and it's hard to stay on his good side for long.
- The leader of the USSR in the Hearts of Iron, classed as "Ruthless Powermonger" and "Backroom Backstabber".
- Commander Stalin, a freeware RTS game.
- Calm Down, Stalin puts us in the shoes of the man himself, whose day-today activities boil down to rule the Soviet Union and not die of a stress-induced heart attack... While being pestered by phone calls from the US, western spies/corrupt Party members and a malfuctioning office lamp.
- The man himself shows up in Axis Powers Hetalia as Russia's leader during the WW2 strips, where he's shown as being an abusive, manipulative prick. Though Ivan does turn the tables on him by the end. Especially since it's implied that Russia himself actually kills him off-screen.
- And of course, Stalin Vs. Hitler.
Web Original
- Long live Stalin, he loves you; sing these words, or you know what he'll do!
- In Twilight Of The Red Tsar, ol'Uncle Joe manages to survive his stroke by being in the presence of a man not on his personal staff. Though senile and crippled, he unleashes a new reign of terror upon the Soviet Union, and later upon China.
Western Animation
- Appears as Froggo's big buddy in Histeria!!
- An episode of Animaniacs had the Warners visiting the Yalta Conference, and jumping on Winston Churchill's big belly. Uncle Joe decides that looks like fun, and joins them.
- Adolf Hitler is scared off by characters disguising themselves as Stalin in the Looney Tunes cartoons Herr Meets Hare and Russian Rhapsody.

The Lobster Place Has Closed Its Bleecker Street Store
Some Lobster Place specimens
Rebecca Marx
The Lobster Place, our go-to for impeccably fresh sushi when we're at the Chelsea Market, is closing its storefront at 252 Bleecker Street.
Ian MacGregor, the company's president, told DNAinfo that high rent and "mismanaged expectations" with the landlord are to blame for the closure. The Lobster Place's Chelsea location will continue to operate, much to the relief of area pescatarians.

For genre geeks, this can be fun - although nothing in Scream 4 is quite as clever as the filmmakers seem to think it is. show more
The generational mix of actors works well enough, although Campbell too often seems stranded with little to do until the climax. show more
Between a diabolically funny start and a surprise climax, Scream 4 offers nothing more than a series of gory deaths that grow tiresome with repetition. The rating is a hard R, but Craven and Williamson keep it soft at its core. "Scream 1" is still the only keeper. show more

[authors: Christopher J. Updike, Michael A. Stevens]
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit recently reiterated its position that the doctrine of equitable mootness should only apply if granting relief on appeal would undermine a consummated bankruptcy plan. In In re Philadelphia Newspapers, LLC, the Third Circuit held that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania abused its discretion when summarily finding that the appeal at issue was equitably moot simply because the appellants failed to seek a stay and the debtors' plan had been substantially consummated. Upon a more careful review of the equitable mootness test enunciated by the Third Circuit en banc in In re Continental Airlines, 91 F.3d 553 (3d Cir. 1996), the Philadelphia Newspapers court found that the appeal should proceed. However, it ultimately affirmed the ruling of the district court that managers of a charter school were not entitled to an administrative expense claim for the debtors' postpetition internet publication of an article that linked to other allegedly defamatory articles that the debtors published prepetition. See In re Philadelphia Newspapers, LLC, 2012 WL 3038578 (3d Cir. July 26, 2012).
Equitable Mootness
The doctrine of "equitable mootness" remains a tricky concept. Unlike constitutional mootness, which requires dismissal of an appeal if it is impossible for the court to grant any effectual relief, equitable mootness occurs when, even though relief could conceivably be fashioned, implementation of such relief would be inequitable. The difference is inability versus unwillingness to alter the outcome on appeal. Thus, equitable mootness is cautiously applied to avoid unnecessarily undermining an appellant's statutory right to appeal.
Courts consider different combinations of prudential factors when determining whether to dismiss an appeal on equitable mootness grounds, including: (i) whether the debtors' bankruptcy plan has been substantially consummated, (ii) whether a stay has been diligently sought and obtained, (iii) whether the relief requested would affect the rights of third parties not before the court, (iv) whether the relief requested would affect the success of the debtor's plan, (v) the policy favoring the finality of bankruptcy decisions, (vi) whether the relief requested will affect the reemergence of the debtor as a revitalized corporate entity, and (vii) whether the appellant's challenge is legally meritorious or equitably compelling. The Third Circuit employs a test using the first five of these factors.
Courts disagree as to which factor is most important. The foremost concern for some is whether the rights of third parties will be affected (Sixth and Tenth Circuits), while others emphasize whether the debtor's plan has been substantially consummated (Second and Third Circuits). In some jurisdictions, failure to seek a stay may, by itself, render a party's appeal equitably moot (Ninth Circuit). There is even a circuit split as to the standard for reviewing equitable mootness decisions (de novo v. abuse of discretion) and the applicable burden of persuasion (steadfast burden on party asserting equitable mootness v. shifting burden upon showing of substantial consummation).
The Supreme Court has yet to settle any of these disparities and has denied petitions for writs of certiorari with respect to equitable mootness decisions on at least three separate occasions, perhaps due to a hesitancy to interfere with district courts' discretionary balancing of equitable and prudential considerations in bankruptcy appeals.
Prior to commencement of the Philadelphia Newspapers chapter 11 cases, the managers of a charter school initiated a defamation action in Pennsylvania state court against the debtors in response to articles that The Philadelphia Inquirer published regarding the management of the charter school. During the postpetition period, the debtors published an online editorial that referenced these articles and provided a link to a webpage where readers could access the articles. The managers filed administrative expense requests against the debtors, arguing that they held postpetition defamation claims because the editorial's reference and link to the articles constituted a "republishing" of the original articles and new acts of defamation. The debtors objected to the administrative expense requests, and after an evidentiary hearing, the bankruptcy court held that the managers failed to demonstrate their entitlement to an administrative expense.
The managers timely appealed this ruling, but did not seek a stay pending appeal. Before the district court ruled on the merits of the appeal, the bankruptcy court confirmed the debtors' fifth plan of reorganization, and the sale of substantially all of the debtors' assets pursuant to the plan was consummated. In a very cursory order, the district court held that the appeal was rendered equitably moot based solely on the fact that the plan had been substantially consummated and the managers had not sought a stay, without any consideration of the other Continental factors. However, the district court went on to consider the merits of the appeal and affirmed the bankruptcy court's denial of the managers' administrative expense requests.
The Third Circuit's Decision
On appeal, the Third Circuit took issue with the district court's equitable mootness determination. As an initial matter, the Third Circuit held that the district court misapplied the first factor of the Continental test – whether the debtor's plan has been substantially consummated. Although facially straightforward, the Court held that this factor "requires that a court consider whether allowing an appeal to go forward will undermine the plan, and not merely whether the plan has been substantially consummated under the Bankruptcy Code's definition," an interpretation that renders the first Continental factor practically duplicative of the fourth (whether the relief requested would affect the success of the plan). Philadelphia Newspapers, 2012 WL 3038578, at *4.
The Third Circuit's expansion of this factor appears to have begun with its 2003 decision in United States Tr. v. Official Comm. of Equity Sec. Holders (In re Zenith Elecs. Corp.), 329 F.3d 338 (3d Cir. 2003), where the Court also overturned a district court's equitable mootness decision because it erred in applying the first factor. According to the Zenith court, the factor "does not merely entail a formalistic inquiry into whether the plan has been substantially consummated under the definition in the Bankruptcy Code," but also requires a consideration of "the probability that granting the appeal would unravel the plan." Zenith, 329 F.3d at 343-44. Thus, the Zenith court held in that case that the appeal was not equitably moot because the relief requested – disgorgement of $76,500 in professional fees – would not necessitate the reversal or unraveling of the entire reorganization plan.
In Philadelphia Newspapers, the Third Circuit again held that although the debtors' plan had been substantially consummated in the definitional sense, the allowance of the appellants' administrative expense requests – which would only account for 1.7% of the debtors' sale proceeds – would not upset the plan because the plan provides for the payment of allowed administrative expenses from a segregated account. Therefore, the first factor weighed against equitable mootness.
Notably, the Third Circuit found a similar appeal equitably moot in Contintental. In that case the debtors' secured lenders sought adequate protection in the form of an $117 million administrative expense claim, which was denied by the bankruptcy court. The disallowance was incorporated into the court's confirmation order because consummation of the debtors' plan was conditioned upon the total amount of allowed administrative expenses not exceeding a cap negotiated between the debtors and their proposed investors under the plan. If the secured lenders' administrative expense claim was allowed, the cap would have been busted, allowing the investors to walk and thereby jeopardizing the debtors' reorganization. Following disallowance of the claim, the lenders sought, but did not obtain, a stay pending appeal and the plan was consummated. The district court refused to hear the appeal as equitably moot and the Third Circuit affirmed the decision.
The Philadelphia Newspapers court, however, distinguished Continental. The administrative expenses at issue in Continental were obviously larger, but more importantly, both the plan and the sale agreement in Philadelphia Newspapers provided that the debtors, rather than any third-party purchaser or investor, would be responsible for the payment of administrative expenses. Thus, allowing the administrative expenses sought by the charter school managers would not necessarily knock the props out from under the Philadelphia Newspapers plan, as was the case in Continental.
The Court then went on to analyze the remaining factors of the Continental test, but noted that they largely "duplicate", "replicate", or "support" the first factor. Philadelphia Newspapers, 2012 WL 3038578, at *4-5. Thus, the Third Circuit conflated its equitable mootness test to a single rule: "a court should only apply the equitable mootness doctrine if doing so will 'unscramble complex bankruptcy reorganizations when the appealing party should have acted before the plan became extremely difficult to retract.'" Id. at *5 (quoting Nordhof Invs. v. Zenith Elecs. Corp., 258 F.3d 180, 185 (3d Cir. 2001)). Upon review, the Third Circuit held that this strict standard was not satisfied.
Despite electing to hear the appellants' appeal, the Third Circuit ultimately agreed with the bankruptcy court and district court that the appellants were not entitled to an administrative expense because the act of referencing and posting a link to an article on the internet did not constitute a republication of the allegedly defamatory articles that would give rise to a new claim for defamation under Pennsylvania state law.
With the Philadelphia Newspapers decision, the Third Circuit reemphasizes that equitable mootness should be handled with care. When Justice Alito served on the Third Circuit, he cautioned that the doctrine of equitable mootness places far too much power in the hands of appellate judges, and this judicial reticence influenced the Philadelphia Newspapers court. Indeed, despite reviewing equitable mootness decisions for abuse of discretion, the Third Circuit has now overturned such decisions on at least two occasions.
In Philadelphia Newspapers, the district court's opinion was clearly deficient and subject to reversal. However, in an attempt to restrain the doctrine of equitable mootness, the Third Circuit appears to have muddied the waters. As admitted in the Philadelphia Newspapers decision, the Third Circuit's expansion of the first Continental factor is redundant of the fourth, and all of the factors effectively ask the same question.
Perhaps the Third Circuit will eventually abandon the Continental test entirely and proceed with the more simplistic rule espoused by the Philadelphia Newspapers court, which, in sum, instructs courts to refrain from finding an appeal equitably moot unless it would substantially undermine a debtor's plan. Under this standard, an appeal is not equitably moot if any form of intermediate relief can be crafted or if the relief sought on appeal is only tangentially related to the plan. Under any recitation of the standard, however, parties should remain wary when consummating transactions under a chapter 11 plan in reliance on this doctrine.

Chris, NCSGC is now called National Garden Clubs - NGC. We're still
adjusting to that. The Handbook in force until July 1 is the one dated
2003, though there have been numerous updates since then. The next
edition, which appeared Jan 1, doesn't take effect until July 1. This is
giving us fits.
The Design Division Rules that must be stated are:
*Some plant material must be used in every exhibit.
*Fresh plant material may not ever be treated in any manner
*Design must be the work of one individual, but plant material need
not have been grown by the exhibitor (unless schedule requires).
.*Advance entry requirement - date, entry chm., etc.
*If designer is unable to fulfill assignment, it is the designer's
responsibility to find a replacement.
*State freedom of style, traditional style, or creative style
for all designs, with or without required type.
*Landscapes or scenes are not permitted.
*Design scale of points of Handbook reference page
It is also good to include a line on entries procedure, as"
*Entry cards will be placed by the Entries Chairman. The
exhibitor must list all plant material used on the back of
the card, which must be initialed by the Design Classification
Chairman before the exhibitor leaves the floor.
This may not be appropriate for your show.
I have taken this from the NGC Scale of Points for
Evaluating Standard Flower Show Schedules, which may
be available online, but I have found the NGC website
very difficult to navigate.
Hope this helps, Auralie

I was given a sample schedule by AHS, but the design element is left up to
the club. I have not seen the NGC handbook. I have a National Council of
State Garden Clubs handbook from 1987! I may have to call a local garden
club to get some guidelines to support the rewording before I submit my
schedule. We want to leave the designs as open ended as possible. I would
very much like to use the most up-to-date wording, so I really appreciate
your help!!!!!!

1. Oil
Don?t wash naturally curly hair more than twice a week; your rizos need the oils in your scalp to help keep them moisturized. And when you do, use a thick, hydrating shampoo and conditioner.
2. Fattening up
Before you go creating curls in straight or wavy hair, wash it with a thickening shampoo, then apply a thickening mousse while it?s wet so hair has the body it needs to hold a curl.
