OTHER NOTABLE APRIL DATES

The American Revolution began on this date in 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

On the Lighter Side

Individual NFL and MLB games are similar in length, but baseball season includes so many more games that stadiums need many new food choices to keep fans coming back. This year, you can buy some peanuts and Cracker Jill at ballparks across North America. At Citizens Bank Park, new offerings include Manco and Manco pizza and chicken from Ryan Howard’s chain. If you want a hot dog and beer under $10, the closest deal you’ll find is at Yankee Stadium; unless you can take the subway, it probably won’t be worth the trip.  

There are places other than a ballpark for outdoor eating. Here’s a list of Philadelphia spots, updated for spring.

Tomorrow, the winners of the third annual Fast Food Awards will be announced. Here are the nominees.

When Managing Bankruptcy Assets, Rules Matter

Bankruptcy rules exist to protect creditors and debtors. The movement of assets involved in bankruptcy filings often gives rise to problems, while protracted disputes hobble successful discharges. Overseas, former tennis star Boris Becker may face jail because he was found guilty of moving funds after filing bankruptcy. Here in the United States, mediation has been ordered in an effort to resolve the ongoing litigation between Sears creditors and the former company head. 

While Asterion can help with your turnaround or a financial restructuring, we are often brought into bankruptcy cases to assist in recovering funds transferred before or after a filing. If you have questions about bankruptcy asset transfers, contact Asterion for assistance.
