Nadya Suleman's bankruptcy case was thrown out by a judge yesterday.

Suleman, who is best known as the 'Octomom' for giving birth to octuplets in 2009, failed to file a dozen financial documents that show her inability to pay the $1 million she owes. This glaring irresponsibility has resulted in her Chapter 7 bankruptcy case being thrown out. 

Suleman, a single mother, has 14 children and owes money to over 20 creditors including a Christian school and her father. She is unemployed, but has made money by selling her family photos to tabloids.

This week, President Barack Obama spoke at three college campuses over the soon-to-rise cost of federal student loans. The current interest rate of 3.2 percent is scheduled to double on the first of July if action is not taken in Congress.

This is a major issue for many college students, who graduate with over $20,000 of debt on average. An increase to the loan rate makes that mountain of debt even more burdensome. 

Student debt is categorized in the same way as child support and court-mandated fines, meaning they cannot be forgiven through bankruptcy. Many students go on to graduate with overwhelming amounts of debt and then cannot find jobs, making paying them down incredibly difficult. There are considerations to change this rule, but nothing incredibly solid has been released just yet.

Earlier this year, the packaged-ice company, Arctic Glacier, sought bankruptcy protection for their business. Now, Reddy Ice Holdings Inc. has done the same thing after the two companies lost more than $300 million in two years. 

The packaged-ice industry took a hit when several large retailers began making and selling their own ice. Retailers are the main customers in the industry, and therefore these ice-producing companies began to struggle. By the end of 2011, Reddy Ice claimed to have $530.8 million in liabilities and only $434 million in assets. 

The company has different creditors that have already stepped forward, and Reddy Ice believes that they will possess roughly $50 million in financing after they come through the bankruptcy process. They hope to be done with bankruptcy after 45 days.

Another meat processing company has filed for bankruptcy due to the "pink slime" controversy that has been popularized by the media. This controversy came to light when the texture and color of a processed meat filler was revealed to the public. People were upset by the appeal of the substance, and were not interested in consuming meat that contained it. 

As a result of the negative outlook, meat processing companies were told they had to remove the filler from their products. AFA Foods, Inc. only dealt with ground beef, and their ability to remove it from their products was not successful. They claim that this controversy was the reasoning for seeking bankruptcy protection. On Monday afternoon in Delaware they filed the necessary paperwork to gain protection.

The company's 2011 revenue totaled $958 million, and yet their assets were listed at $219.6 million. Their liabilities were comparable to their assets at $197.3 million.
