207 REDWOOD: Ordered to Submit Disclosure Statement by December 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland has ordered
207 Redwood LLC to file a disclosure statement pertaining to its
proposed Plan of Reorganization not later than December 6, 2010.

Pursuant to the Plan, filed November 5, 2010, Branch Banking and
Trust Company will be paid the allowed amount of its claim,
payable monthly at an interest rate of 3.75% based on a 30-year
amortization schedule with a balloon payment of the remaining
balance on the seven-year anniversary of the Effective Date.  BB&T
will retain its prepetition lien on the property located at 207
East Redwood Street, Baltimore, Maryland.  Holders of unsecured
claims will be paid their pro rata share of $100,000 by new
investors 180 days after the Effective Date.  Holders of interests
in the Debtor will receive nothing, and their Interests will be
canceled.

A complete text of the Plan is available for free at:

       http://bankrupt.com/misc/207REDWOOD_Plan.pdf

Columbia, Maryland-based 207 Redwood LLC filed for Chapter 11
protection on August 6, 2010 (Bankr. D. Md. Case No. 10-27968).
James A. Vidmar, Jr., Esq., and Lisa Yonka Stevens, Esq., at
Logan, Yumkas, Vidmar & Sweeney LLC, assist the Debtor in its
restructuring effort.  In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed
$14,500,000 in total assets and $24,097,109 in total liabilities
as of the Petition Date.


2500 HALLANDALE: Bankruptcy Court OKs Dismissal of Case
-------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Raymond B. Ray, of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District dismissed the Chapter 11 case of 2500 Hallandale Beach,
L.L.C., with prejudice for a period of six months from the date of
the order.

E.M. Segall, the temporarily appointed receiver of the Debtor's
real property located at 2500 Hallandale Beach Boulevard in
Florida, asked the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the case, or
alternatively, grant E.M. Segall relief from the automatic stay to
continue its foreclosure action.  E.M. Segall explained that,
among other things:

   -- the Debtor has only one primary asset, the property which
      has no equity;

   -- the Debtor has few unsecured claims in relation to those
      secured creditors;

   -- there is absence of a reasonable likelihood to effectuate a
      Plan of Reorganization;

   -- the Debtor's property is subject to a foreclosure action due
      to debt arrearage; and

   -- the Debtor's financial problems are primarily due to a two-
      party dispute which can be resolved in another forum.

The Court also ordered that any unpaid U.S. Trustee fees as of the
date of dismissal will be paid by Segall, and that pending
motions, including the motion to access the cash collateral are
denied as moot.

                About 2500 Hallandale Beach, L.L.C.

Pembroke Pines, Florida-based 2500 Hallandale Beach, L.L.C., filed
for Chapter 11 protection on September 20, 2010 (Bankr.
S.D. Fla. Case No. 10-38206).  Chad T. Van Horn, Esq., at the Law
Offices of Brown, Van Horn P.A., represents the Debtor.  The
Debtor estimated its assets and debts at $10 million to
$50 million as of the Petition Date.


ADMIRAL WINE: Organizational Meeting to Form Panel on Nov. 29
-------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, United States Trustee for Region 3, will
hold an organizational meeting on November 29, 2010, at 10:00 a.m.
in the bankruptcy case of Admiral Wine and Liquor Co.  The meeting
will be held at the United States Trustee's Office, One Newark
Center, 21st Floor, Room 2106, Newark, NJ 07102.

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee or
committees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' cases.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors
pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A representative
of the Debtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and
provide background information regarding the bankruptcy cases.

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States
Trustee appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as
practicable.  The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons,
willing to serve, that hold the seven largest unsecured claims
against the debtor of the kinds represented on the committee.
Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee
may consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its
business operations and participate in the formulation of a plan
of reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services
as are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

Cedar Grove, New Jersey-based Admiral Wine and Liquor Co. filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 12, 2010 (Bankr.
D. N.J. Case No. 10-45213).  Bruce D. Buechler, Esq., and Kenneth
Rosen, Esq., at Lowenstein Sandler PC, assist the Debtor in its
restructuring effort.  The Debtor estimated its assets and debts
at $1 million to $10 million.

ADVANTA CORP: Creditors to Depose Two Execs. on $52-Million Claim
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Advanta Corp.'s unsecured creditors
committee received bankruptcy court approval Wednesday to depose
two company insiders as part of its challenge to $52 million in
claims asserted by top executives.

                        About Advanta Corp.

Advanta Corp. -- http://www.advanta.com/-- issues business
purpose credit cards to small businesses and business
professionals in the United States.  Advanta primarily funds and
operates its business credit card business through Advanta Bank
Corp., which offers a range of deposit products that are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

In June 2009, the FDIC placed significant restrictions on the
activities and operations of Advanta Bank, as the Bank's capital
ratios were below required regulatory levels.

On November 8, 2009, Advanta Corp. filed for Chapter 11 (Bankr. D.
Del. Case No. 09-13931).  Attorneys at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP,
and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., serve as bankruptcy counsel.
Alvarez & Marsal is the financial advisor.  The Garden City
Group, Inc., is the claims agent.  The filing did not include
Advanta Bank.  The petition said that Advanta Corp.'s assets
totaled $363,000,000 while debts totaled $331,000,000 as of
September 30, 2009.


ALMA ENERGY: Challenge to William's Claim Remanded to Bankr. Ct.
----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Amul R. Thapar remands Phaedra Spradlin, Chapter 7
Trustee of Alma Energy, LLC, Appellant, v. Nathan Williams,
Appellee (E.D. Ky. Case No. 10-80) to the Bankruptcy Court for
further proceedings.

Mr. Williams was both the sole member of Alma Energy, LLC, and a
claimant against the estate.  Mr. Williams asserts a claim for
$500,000.  Following conversion of Alma Energy's Chapter 11 case
to one under Chapter 7, Mr. Williams stepped aside from his
management role with the Debtor, and Chapter 7 Trustee Phaedra
Spradlin assumed control.  The Chapter 7 Trustee objected to the
claim, but the Bankruptcy Court upheld the Claim.

Judge Thapar rules that Mr. Williams's relationship to Alma,
combined with questions about his claim's validity, require that
his dealings with the Debtor must be subjected to closer scrutiny.
The bankruptcy court's order, however, does not make clear the
level of scrutiny applied to Mr. Williams's claim.  "While it is
possible that the bankruptcy court scrutinized the claim in great
detail, the order neglects to mention this analysis.  Therefore,
the Court must remand this action to the bankruptcy court to apply
rigorous scrutiny to the claim or, in the alternative, to explain
the scrutiny already applied to the claim.  Without a more
complete record from the bankruptcy court, the Court will not
address the merits of the Trustee's arguments at this time," Judge
Thapar says.

A copy of Judge Thapar's Memorandum Opinion and Order, dated
November 16, 2010, is available at http://is.gd/hluHTfrom
Leagle.com.

Alma Energy, LLC, owned rights to mine coal on two tracts of land
located in Pike County, Ky.  Out of cash, the Debtor suspended its
mining operation and sought chapter 11 protection (Bankr. E.D. Ky.
Case No. 07-70370) on August 13, 2007.  The mining operation was
restarted in 2008 with funding by Pikeville Energy Group, LLC, but
halted again during the chapter 11 proceeding.  On April 17, 2009,
the United States Trustee moved to dismiss the case or convert it
to a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding.  On May 20, 2009, the
bankruptcy court entered an order converting the Debtor's case to
one under Chapter 7, and the U.S. Trustee appointed Phaedra
Spradlin as the Chapter 7 trustee.


ALMATIS B.V.: Court Awards US$18.4 Mil. in Professional Fees
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York approved the applications of nine
professionals retained by Almatis B.V. and the other reorganized
debtors for allowance of final fees and reimbursement of expenses
incurred for the period April 30 to September 20, 2010.

The Allowed Fees and Expenses aggregate approximately
US$18,413,000.

The specific Final Fees and Expenses are:

                                   =============             ==========

The Professionals sought payment of fees and reimbursement of
expenses in currencies other than U.S. Dollars.  The Reorganized
Debtors are authorized to pay retained professionals in
currencies other than U.S. dollars, in accordance with their
agreement with those professionals.

Accordingly, a corresponding U.S. Dollar amount for the Allowed
Fees and Expenses are set forth in a separate column for
informational purposes only.

The U.S. Dollar amounts were calculated using the exchange rate
in effect on the Confirmation Date, September 20, 2010, of
GBP1.56 per US$1.00 and EUR1.307 per US$1.00.

The Court specified that:

  -- The Allowed Expenses for Moelis reflects the firm's
     agreement to reduce the amount by $1,078 in response to the
     objection of the U.S. Trustee.  It also reflects a further
     reduction by $1,500 as ordered by the Court.

  -- The Allowed Expenses for Linklaters reflect the firm's
     agreement to reduce the amount by GBP15,742 to settle the
     U.S. Trustee's objection, and a further reduction by
     GBP7,692 as ordered by the Court.  Meanwhile, the firm's
     Allowed Expenses reflect a reduction by GBP1,212 also in
     response to the objection.

  -- The Allowed Expenses for Talbot Hughes reflect a reduction
     of GBP591 in response to the U.S. Trustee's objection.  In
     connection with the reimbursement of its expenses, Talbot
     Hughes filed a supplemental certification of Dean Merritt
     in support of its fee application, which certifies that the
     firm does not make a profit in providing reimbursable
     services.

  -- Gibson Dunn agreed after discussions with Almatis to reduce
     its requested fees by an additional GBP100,000 to settle
     the objections raised by the U.S. Trustee and any possible
     objections from the Court.  The firm applied GBP85,037 or
     US$132,657 of this reduction to its fee request.

  -- Gibson Dunn also agreed to apply GBP14,962 or US$23,342 of
     the GBP100,000 to its request for expense reimbursement to
     address concerns raised by the U.S. Trustee with respect to
     certain reimbursable expenses.

Among other things, the objections raised by Tracy Hope Davis, as
the U.S. Trustee for Region 2, against the fee applications of
certain of the firms were on grounds that they were deficient and
did not comply with the UST Guidelines, and that the time spent
and the fees billed for preparing the applications were
unreasonable.

Butzel, however, contested the proposed reduction of its
requested fees by US$11,000, saying the U.S Trustee did not give
any justification for the reduction.  The firm said that the fees
were incurred in connection with the preparation of its
employment application.

The amount of Butzel's requested fees was reduced by $6,000 as
ordered by the Court.

allowed fees and expenses is available without charge at:

2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 10-12308).  Almatis B.V.

it was confirmed by Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn for the
Southern District of New York.


ALMATIS B.V.: Jubilee Wants Access to Confidential Info.
--------------------------------------------------------
Jubilee CDO VIII B.V. filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to authorize its
legal counsel to access certain documents that were produced to
Schulte Roth & Zabel.

The move came after Almatis B.V. and Oaktree Capital Management
Ltd. refused to have those documents reviewed by Herrick
Feinstein LLP, Jubilee's legal counsel.

Almatis, Oaktree and Dubai International Capital LLC earlier
inked a stipulation governing the sharing of documents, including
those that contain confidential information.  Schulte Roth, as
co-counsel to Jubilee, was previously granted access to the
documents.

"It should make no difference to the other parties to the
stipulation whether the attorneys for Jubilee reviewing the
documents at this time are from [Schulte Roth] or Herrick so long
as both are bound by the same stipulation," Paul Rubin, Esq., at
Herrick Feinstein, in New York, said in court papers.

Jubilee also asked Judge Glenn to extend the deadline to return
or destroy confidential documents through December 29, 2010, to
give Herrick enough time to review the documents.

The Document Sharing Stipulation provides that any confidential
documents produced must be returned or destroyed within two
months following the effective date of Almatis' restructuring
plan.  The restructuring plan took effect on September 30, 2010,
which means that Jubilee only has two weeks left if the Court
does not approve the proposed extension.

Earlier, Jubilee obtained a ruling from Judge Glenn requiring
Almatis, Oaktree Capital and DIC to appear before the Court on
November 23, 2010, to explain why Herrick should not be given
access to the documents.

The motion drew flak from Almatis and DIC, both of which see the
request as an attempt by Jubilee to prosecute new litigation.
The Objectors argued that the Document Sharing Stipulation allows
the use of documents only in connection with Almatis' bankruptcy
case and related proceedings.

Oaktree Capital also opposed approval of the Confidential Info
Access Motion, saying that the subject documents are no longer
relevant and were being produced in connection with its proposed
prepackaged restructuring plan, which was withdrawn after Almatis
accepted a better proposal from DIC.  It also said that Jubilee
is not involved in any ongoing litigation that would entitle it
to access the documents.

Jubilee, however, found an ally in Alcentra Mezzanine No. 1 Sarl,
Alcentra Mezzanine QPAM Sarl, Shiofra 1 Sarl, and Shiofra 2 Sarl,
which expressed support for the approval of the Info Access
Motion.  Herrick also serves as the legal counsel for these
firms.

The Court will hold a hearing on November 23, 2010, to consider
the Jubilee's Motion.

Almatis B.V., and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 on April 30,
2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 10-12308).  Almatis B.V.
estimated assets of US$500 million to US$1 billion and debts of
more than US$1 billion in its petition.

Michael A. Rosenthal, Esq., at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, serves
as counsel to the Debtors in the Chapter 11 cases.  Linklaters LLP
is the special English and German counsel and De Brauw Blackstone
Westbroek N.V. is Dutch counsel.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC,

The Debtors' reorganization plan was declared effective on

financial restructuring and emerge from Chapter 11 protection.

The Almatis restructuring plan took effect more than a week after
it was confirmed by Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn for the
Southern District of New York.


AMERICAN MEDIA: Targeting Dec. 17 Combined Hearing on Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
American Media, Inc. and its debtor affiliates ask Judge Martin
Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York to schedule a combined hearing to consider the adequacy
of their Disclosure Statement and the confirmation of their
Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization.

Specifically, the Debtors ask that the Combined Hearing be held as
soon as practicable but on or before December 17, 2010.  The
Debtors also ask that the Scheduling Order provide that the
Combined Hearing may be adjourned from time to time without
further notice.

The Debtors further ask the Court to set the deadline for filing
objections to the approval of the Disclosure Statement and the
confirmation of the Plan to seven days prior to the Combined
Hearing.

On October 30, 2010, the Debtors commenced the solicitation of
votes to accept or reject the Plan from holders of claims in
Classes 2, 5, 6 and 7.  Classes 2, 5 and 6 unanimously voted to
accept the Plan.  Class 7 voted to reject the Plan.

Ira S. Dizengoff, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in
New York, points out that Section 105(d)(2)(B)(vi) of the
Bankruptcy Code authorizes a bankruptcy court to combine a hearing
on the disclosure statement with a hearing on confirmation of a
plan of reorganization.  The Debtors submit that a combined
hearing would promote judicial economy and the expedient
reorganization.  Moreover, a combined hearing would facilitate
minimizing the adverse effects of the Chapter 11 cases on the
Debtors' businesses while benefiting creditors by reducing the
administrative expenses incurred by the Debtors' estates, he
notes.

The Debtors, according to Mr. Dizengoff, have commenced these
Chapter 11 cases with the overriding goal of confirming and
consummating the Plan as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The Debtors believe that the proposed schedule is in the best
interests of their estates, creditors and all other parties-in-
interest.  The expeditious confirmation of the Plan will preserve
the value of the Debtors' estates for the benefit of all parties
in interest and minimize the impact of these Chapter 11 cases on
the Debtors' businesses, Mr. Dizengoff notes.  Moreover, the
proposed schedule affords the Debtors' creditors, interest holders
and other parties-in-interest with sufficient notice of the
confirmation proceedings.

Holders of claims in the Voting Classes received copies of the
Disclosure Statement and the Plan prior to the Petition Date, and
each of the Voting Classes other than class 7 has already voted to
accept the Plan (indeed, there are only two creditors, holding
$3,106,782 in claims, who voted to reject the Plan), Mr. Dizengoff
points out.

In addition, in conjunction with the mailing of Solicitation
Packages to holders of claims in the Voting Classes, the Debtors
provided notice to holders of interests in AMI -- who are deemed
to reject the Plan and, therefore, not entitled to vote on the
Plan -- regarding the solicitation of votes on the Plan, which
notice indicated that copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement
could be obtained upon reasonable written request.

Moreover, Mr. Dizengoff says all other parties-in-interest will
receive notice of their treatment in the Chapter 11 cases and will
be provided an opportunity to obtain a copy of the Plan and
Disclosure Statement with sufficient time to evaluate the
documents prior to the proposed Combined Hearing.  Accordingly,
the Debtors believe that no party-in-interest will be prejudiced
by their request.

                        The Chapter 11 Plan

As of November 17, 2010, AMO's total principal amount of
outstanding debt was approximately $878.7 million, which consisted
of approximately (i) $490.6 million principal amount of debt
pursuant to a $60 million revolving credit facility and a 450
million term loan facility under a 2009 Credit Agreement, (ii)
$7.5 million principal amount of 2011 Notes, (iii) $24.8 million
principal amount of PIK Notes, and (iv) $355.8 million principal
amount of Subordinated Notes.

On October 30, 2010, American Media entered into a restructuring
support agreement with the members of the Committee and certain
Term Facility Lenders and Revolver Lenders.  Pursuant to the
Restructuring Support Agreement, the signatories thereto agreed to
support a restructuring of American Media's indebtedness on the
terms set forth therein.

American Media agreed to implement the Financial Restructuring by
soliciting of votes to accept or reject the Companies' plan of
reorganization through a "prepackaged" bankruptcy and the
commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases.


As of November 9, 2010, institutions holding in the aggregate at
least 70% of the Term Facility claims, approximately 77.6% of the
Subordinated Notes claims, and approximately 89% of the PIK Notes
claims agreed to support the Financial Restructuring by executing
the Restructuring Support Agreement.

The Companies had received 200 votes, with 198 votes in favor of
the Plan and 2 votes against.  Specifically, (i) all holders of
claims entitled to vote in Classes 2, 5 and 6, overwhelmingly
voted to approve the Plan and (ii) two of the four holders of
claims entitled to vote in class 7 (holding approximately 41% of
the claims in that class) voted to reject the Plan.

The Plan sets forth the Companies' post-effective date capital
structure and the distribution that each class of the Companies'
creditors is to receive under the Plan.  Specifically, upon
consummation of the Plan, among other things:

  (a) Holders of Term Facility claims will receive their pro
      rata share of these items, in an aggregate amount equal
      to the allowed amount of all Term Facility claims:

          (i) cash, in an amount to be determined by the
              Companies but in any event no less than 70% of the
              amount of all allowed Term Facility claims; and

         (ii) new second lien notes.

      However, the aggregate amount of New Second Lien Notes
      distributed to Term Facility Lenders will not be greater
      than the commitment under that certain backstop agreement
      to purchase the New Second Lien Notes.  The unpaid
      reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses,
      including legal fees and expenses, of the Administrative
      Agent through and including the effective date will be
      paid in full, in cash to the Administrative Agent.  In
      addition, and pursuant to the Plan, each holder of a Term
      Facility claim will have the right to require that the
      parties to the Backstop Agreement purchase from that
      holder, on the effective date, its pro rata share of the
      New Second Lien Notes which it receives pursuant to the
      Plan for the face amount of that holder's New Second Lien
      Notes, which face amount that holder will receive in cash.

  (b) Holders of Revolver Facility claims will receive payment
      in full, in cash.

  (c) Holders of allowed Subordinated Notes claims will receive
      98% of the common shares in the capital of reorganized AMI
      authorized for issuance in accordance with the terms of
      the Plan on the effective date, subject to dilution for
      the equity incentive plan (holders of allowed Subordinated
      Notes claims other than the Backstop Parties will also be
      diluted by the shares the Backstop Parties receive
      pursuant to the Backstop Agreement.

  (d) Holders of allowed PIK Notes claims will receive, at the
      Companies' option, but with the Committee's consent,
      (i) New Second Lien Notes, (ii) new PIK notes, (iii) new
      preferred stock, or (iv) a combination of the foregoing.

  (e) Holders of allowed 2011 Notes claims will receive
      approximately 2% of the New Common Stock, subject to
      dilution for the equity incentive plan (holders of allowed
      2011 Notes claims other than the Backstop Parties will
      also be diluted by the Backstop Shares).

  (f) Holders of allowed general unsecured claims will be
      unimpaired.

  (g) Equity interests in AMI, including warrants, will be
      cancelled.

American Media, Inc., and 15 units, including American Media
Operations, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 protection in Manhattan
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16140) on November 17, 2010.

American Media filed together with the petition, a pre-packaged
Chapter 11 plan where holders of notes and bank debt would receive

American Media said it would try to emerge from court protection
against creditors in 60 days or less.

Judge Martin Glenn presides over the case.  Ira S. Dizengoff,
Esq., Arik Preis, Esq., Meredith A. Lahaie, Esq., Stefanie L.

AMERICAN MEDIA: Moody's Changes Default Rating to 'D'
-----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed American Media Operations,
Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating to D from Ca following the
company's announcement that it filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on
November 17, 2010.  Moody's will be withdrawing all of American
Media's ratings shortly.  This action completes the review that
was initiated on July 16, 2010.

Downgrades:

Issuer: American Media Operations Inc.

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to D from Ca

Unchanged:

Issuer: American Media Operations Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating -- Caa2

  -- Senior secured revolving credit facility due 2012 -- B3,
     LGD2, 28%

  -- Senior term loan B due 2013 -- B3, LGD2, 28%

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: American Media Operations Inc.

  -- Outlook, Stable

                        Ratings Rationale

The downgrade of the PDR to D reflects the company's bankruptcy
filing, which Moody's classifies as a "default" event, consistent
with the "D" Probability of Default rating.  The Caa2 Corporate
Family Rating and ratings for individual debt instruments were
based on the application of Moody's Loss Given Default framework
utilizing an expected 50% family recovery rate.

Moody's last rating action was on July 16, 2010, when it lowered
American Media's PDR to Ca from Caa2 following the company's
announcement that American Media commenced an exchange offer for
all of its 14% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 at less than par
and would be considered an effective distressed exchange event of
default.

Headquartered in Boca Raton, Fl, American Media is a leading
publisher of celebrity journals as well as health and fitness
magazines.  The company also provides publishing services to other
publishers and arranges for the placement of owned publications
and third party publications with retailers.  Given continued
declines in subscription, newsstand and advertising revenues, the
company has been challenged to reduce debt balances since its
January 2009 restructuring.  On November 17, 2010, American Media
filed a pre-packaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11.
American Media is expected to emerge from Chapter 11 protection in
approximately 60 days with an estimated 40% lower debt load.  The
company reported sales of approximately $404 million for the 12
months ended September 30, 2010.

ATHENS/ALPHA GAS: N. Dak. Court Rejects Cawley Claim on Oil Wells
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Chief Justice Gerald W. VandeWalle of the Supreme Court
of North Dakota affirms a lower court's decision rejecting Thomas
P. Cawley's claims to a 5% working interest in Missouri Breaks
LLC's 50% working interest in an oil and gas well, and for
repayment of $26,000 in loans to Athens/Alpha Gas Corporation plus
interest.

Athens/Alpha's plan provided for the formation of Missouri Breaks,
and transferred Athens/Alpha's 50% working interest in the well to
Missouri Breaks.  The plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court
in May 2005.

Missouri Breaks filed a state court quiet title action in
September 2006 to resolve any competing claims of ownership in the
well.  The court concluded that Mr. Cawley's claims were barred by
res judicata and that his failure to record the 5% working
interest before Athens/Alpha filed for bankruptcy voided any
interest he may have had in the well.

The case is Missouri Breaks, LLC, Robert M. Hallmark & Associates,
Frank Celeste, William R. Austin, Phoenix Energy, Bobby Lankford
and Erskine Williams, Plaintiffs and Appellees, v. John O. Burns;
Thomas P. Cawley; Terry Moore; Cheryl Moore; John C. Walter
Trustee; Williston Gas Company; Geary Trigleth; William Thomas
Trigleth III, as Trustee, on behalf of the Blue Sky Trust; Astro-
Chem Lab, Inc.; Total Safety, Inc.; Williston Basin District of
Pool Company; Champion Technologies, Inc.; DC Well Service, Inc.;
First National Bak of Williston; and all other persons unknown
claiming any estate or interest in or lien or encumbrance upon the
property described in the Complaint, Defendants Thomas R. Cawley,
Appellant, case no. 20100124 (N. Dak. Sup. Ct.).

AZCO LLC: Bankruptcy Court Dismisses Chapter 11 Case
----------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Michael E. Romero of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado dismissed the Chapter 11 Case of AZCO, LLC,
for filing an incomplete bankruptcy case.

The Court said in its ruling that the Debtor failed to cure the
deficiency thereby hampering the effective administration of the
estate and establishing cause for dismissal.

In a separate filing, the Debtor asked the Court to dismiss the
case for other reasons.  The Debtor related that its real estate
has been sold and there is no asset to administer.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado that he was
unable to appoint an official committee of unsecured creditors in
the Chapter 11 case of Ball Four, Inc.

The U.S. Trustee explained that there were too few unsecured
creditors who are willing to serve on a committee.

BE AEROSPACE: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Baa2 rating to BE
Aerospace, Inc's proposed $750 million senior secured revolving
credit facility due 2015.  The revolver will be partially drawn at
close to repay the outstanding balance on BE's existing term loan.
Concurrently, Moody's affirmed the company's Corporate Family and
Probability of Default ratings at Ba2, the existing senior
unsecured notes at Ba3 and senior unsecured shelf at (P)Ba3, and
affirmed the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating at SGL-1.  The
rating outlook remains stable.

These ratings/assessments have been assigned:

* $750 million Sr. Secured Revolving Credit Facility, Baa2 (LGD2,
  12%).

These ratings/assessments have been affirmed:

* Corporate Family, Ba2;

* Probability of Default, Ba2;

* $650 million Senior Notes, Ba3 (LGD4, 67%) from Ba3 (LGD4, 66%);

* $600 million 8.5% Senior Notes, Ba3 (LGD4, 67%) from Ba3 (LGD4,
  66%);

* Senior unsecured shelf, (P) Ba3;

* Speculative Grade Liquidity, SGL-1.

These ratings/assessments will be withdrawn following the close of
the proposed transaction:

* $343 million (current outstanding) Sr. Secured Term Loan, Baa2
  (LGD2, 11%);

* $350 million Sr. Secured Revolving Credit Facility, Baa2 (LGD2,
  11%).

                        Ratings Rationale

BE Aerospace's Ba2 Corporate Family Rating recognizes the
company's scale and significant role in the commercial aircraft
industry as the world's largest manufacturer of cabin interiors
for commercial and business aircraft and the leading aftermarket
distributor of aerospace fasteners.  Moody's expect BE to generate
strong cash flow going forward, with free cash flow in excess of
$150 million (for full year 2010) because of this strong market
niche and the record of successful execution.  Good credit metrics
aided by a track record of mid-teens operating margins could be
characteristic of a somewhat higher rating, but the Ba2 rating is
restrained by the inherent cyclicality of the aerospace industry
with the cycle only recently turning more favorably.  Moody's
anticipate that the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft,
which has been slowed due to capacity cutbacks and inventory
destocking, will pick up in the second half of 2010 into 2011,
benefitting BE Aerospace.  Finally, there is flexibility in the
rating to accommodate likely additional acquisitions as BE further
expands its product base, as witnessed with the company's recent
acquisitions of Satair and TSI Group.

The stable ratings outlook considers the recent increase in
leverage as a result of its new note issuance.  In addition
it recognizes the company's recent margin improvement in both
its consumables and commercial aerospace segments, driven by
operating efficiencies and an improved operating environment.
The outlook also recognizes the company's leading market
position, very-good liquidity profile, the sizeable and growing
backlog of $2.85 billion ($5.5 billion including unbooked
backlog), as well as the return to growth in global revenue
passenger miles flown by airlines and the likely release of
pent up demand for spares due to deferred maintenance, and the
anticipated substantial commercial aircraft production and
delivery growth over the near term.

The outlook or ratings could be upgraded with more clarity on
ultimate use of proceeds of the new issuance and if the company
were able to achieve debt to EBITDA closer to 2.5 times, with
EBITA to Interest approaching 5 times.  While unlikely in the near
term, the ratings or outlook could be lowered if the company's
backlog were to substantially deteriorate or if the company were
to take on additional debt such that debt/EBITDA leverage was over
4.0 time on a sustained basis, or if retained cash flow/debt was
to fall below 15%.

The last rating action for BE Aerospace was on September 14, 2010
when the company's senior secured credit facilities were upgraded
to Baa2 from Baa3, while the company's Ba2 CFR and PDR, Ba3 senior
unsecured notes rating, (P) Ba3 shelf rating, and SGL-1 rating
were affirmed.

BE Aerospace, Inc. is the world's largest manufacturer of
commercial and general aviation cabin interior products and a
major independent distributor of aerospace fasteners.  BE's
products include aircraft seats, equipment for food and beverage
preparation and storage, oxygen delivery systems, a broad line of
aerospace fasteners and certain engineering and design services.
Revenue for the last twelve months through September 30, 2010, was
approximately $2.0 billion.


BERNARD MADOFF: Two Ex-Employees Arrested on Unknown Charges
------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that the FBI said Thursday two back
office employees of Bernard Madoff have been arrested on
undisclosed federal charges.  The AP says Joann Crupi was arrested
at her home in Westfield, N.J.  Annette Bongiorno was arrested at
her home in Boca Raton, Fla.

The AP relates authorities previously said Ms. Bongiorno was a
staff supervisor and was responsible for answering questions from
Mr. Madoff's clients about their purported investments.  They
allege she oversaw the fabrication of documents.  The civil
papers, announced in June 2010, sought to recoup $5 million from
the two employees.

The AP says Ms. Crupi was due in Manhattan court Thursday.  Ms.
Bongiorno will have an initial appearance in Florida.

                        About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.

On December 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A. Stanton of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the
application of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation for
a decree adjudicating that the customers of BLMIS are in need of
the protection afforded by the Securities Investor Protection Act
of 1970.  The District Court's Protective Order (i) appointed
Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee for the liquidation of BLMIS,
(ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP as his counsel, and (iii)
removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding to the Bankruptcy Court
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789) (Lifland, J.).  Mr.
Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.)

As of October 29, 2010, a total of US$5.69 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with US$741.2 million to be paid by
the Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected
to receive additional distributions from money recovered by Mr.
Picard.


BH S&B: Bankruptcy Judge Converts Case to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on Tuesday
ordered the Chapter 11 case of BH S&B Holdings LLC to be converted
to a Chapter 7 liquidation at the request of the U.S. trustee, who
said the company was administratively insolvent and incapable of
reorganization.

                           About BH S&B

BH S&B Holdings LLC and seven affiliates sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-14604) on Nov. 19, 2008.
BH S&B was formed by investment firms Bay Harbour Management and
York Capital Management to acquire the Steve & Barry's retail
chain for $163 million in August 2008.  Steve and Barry's, based
in Port Washington, New York, was a specialty retailer of apparel
and accessories, selling, among other things, university apparel
and lifestyle brands, private-label casual clothing, and exclusive
celebrity endorsed apparel.

Steve & Barry's had 240 locations when it was bought and the new
owners had planned to cut that down to 173 stores.  BH S&B had
intended to operate certain Steve & Barry's stores as going
concerns and to liquidate inventory at other locations.  Since the
sale closing, however, for various reasons, including the general
health of the American economy and the state of the retail market
in particular, sales at all stores have been disappointing, and BH
S&B's revenue has suffered.  As a result, BH S&B was not in
compliance with certain covenants under their senior secured
credit facility and had no prospects for continued financing of
their business as a going concern.  In consultation with its
lenders, BH S&B decided the appropriate course of action to
maximize value for the benefit of all of its stakeholders was an
orderly liquidation in Chapter 11.

Bay Harbour Management is an SEC registered investment advisor
with significant experience in purchasing distressed companies
and effectuating their turnaround.  The firm's holdings have
included the retailer Barneys New York, the facilities based CLEC
Telcove, and the former Aladdin Casino, now operating on the Las
Vegas strip as the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino following
its rebranding and turnaround.

York Capital Management is an SEC registered investment advisor
with offices in New York, London, and Hong Kong with more than
$15 billion in assets under management.  York Capital was founded
in 1991 and specializes in value oriented and event driven equity
and credit investments.

Joel H. Levitin, Esq., and Richard A. Stieglitz, Jr., Esq., at
Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, in New York, serve as bankruptcy
counsel to BH S&B and its seven affiliates.  RAS Management
Advisors LLC acts as restructuring advisors, and Kurtzman
Carson Consultants LLC is the claims and notice agent.

                     About Steve & Barry's

Steve & Barry's LLC, and 63 affiliates filed separate voluntary
petitions under Chapter 11 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-12579)
on July 9, 2008, and were represented by Lori R. Fife, Esq.,
and Shai Waisman, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP.

Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement with Bay Horbor and York Capital,
the retail chain was sold for $163 million.  Lead Debtor Steve &
Barry's Manhattan LLC (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-12579) changed
its name to Stone Barn Manhattan LLC, and parent company Steve &
Barry's LLC (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-12615) is now known as
Steel Bolt LLC.  Steve & Barry's LLC disclosed $693,492,000 in
total assets and $638,086,000 in total debts in its Chapter 11
petition.


BLOCKBUSTER INC: Korn/Ferry Named CEO Search Consultant
-------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton Lifland authorized the Debtors to
employ Korn/Ferry International as their executive search
consultant in connection with their search for a new chief
executive officer.

Pursuant to the terms of the parties' Engagement Letter,
Korn/Ferry's compensation will be equal to a fixed fee of
$400,000, with the first $100,000 due upon the commencement of the
assignment and the remaining $300,000 due and payable in one
installment within 30 days of the successful completion date on
which a final, binding employment agreement in writing is entered
into between the Debtors and the New CEO candidate, provided that
if any internal candidate from within Blockbuster Inc.'s current
management or any external candidate identified from a major
studio is named CEO or if the agreement is terminated before the
Successful Completion Date, Korn/Ferry has agreed to forfeit the
Final Payment.

Judge Lifland directed that either the attorneys representing the
Debtors, or a member of the search committee of Blockbuster's
Board of Directors will provide weekly confidential updates to the
attorneys representing the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors regarding the status of the New CEO search being
conducted by the Search Committee.

Prior to the final selection of a New CEO, the chair of the Search
Committee will consult with the Creditors Committee and provide
the Creditors Committee with an opportunity to meet with or
interview one or more finalists for the position of New CEO.

BLOCKBUSTER INC: Lyme Regis Wants to Compel Icahn to Produce Docs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyme Regis Partners LLC asks the Court to issue an order
Pursuant to Rule 2004 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure
(i) directing production of documents from Carl Icahn, and
(ii) authorizing the issuance of subpoena for a deposition
pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Prior to the bankruptcy proceeding, Carl Icahn played a
substantial role in the actions and future of Blockbuster, Inc.,
and its debtor-affiliates, relates Scott A. McMillan, Esq., at The
McMillan Law Firm, APC, in La Mesa, California.

On November 11, 2004, Mr. Icahn began to buy equity in
Blockbuster.  He was eventually elected to the Debtor's board of
directors.  On November 16, 2005, he purchased $35 million of
preferred stock and participated in the attempted acquisition of
Circuit City in the second quarter of 2008, and then, purportedly
in July 2008, he stated his participation in the acquisition of
Movielink, Mr. McMillan says.

On October 1, 2009, Blockbuster issued the 2014 Secured Notes that
comprise the substantial body of secured debt it owed.
Ostensibly, Mr. Icahn participated in the Debtor's decision to
issue that stock.  He resigned from the Board in January 2010.

Beginning March 30, 2010, Mr. Icahn divested his stock in
Blockbuster, eventually ceasing to be the beneficial owner of 5%
of the common stock, Mr. McMillan relates.  On July 16, 2010, Mr.
Icahn received a semi-annual retainer payment of $4,965.

On the Petition Date, Blockbuster filed an 8-K form with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing certain financial
projections.  Additionally, it was disclosed that certain
material, insider information was shared with certain secured note
holders under confidentiality agreements.

Mr. McMillan tells the Court that it is believed that Mr. Icahn
may have been disclosed the insider information due to (i) his
ongoing relationship with the Debtors, (ii) his ownership of
Blockbuster 11.75% senior secured notes due 2010, and (iii) the
fact he and his entities were planning to provide DIP financing to
the Debtors.

Hence, Lyme Regis asks the Court for leave to examine Mr. Icahn
and any knowledgeable representative of the bankruptcy estates as
to these matters:

  (a) the circumstances surrounding Mr. Icahn's purchase and
      sale of Secured Notes from the Debtors between October
      2009 and present;

  (b) the circumstances surrounding the confidential, material,
      insider information disclosures under the confidentiality
      agreements, including Mr. Icahn's involvement, knowledge,
      and possession of the disclosed information;

  (c) the circumstances surrounding, and as identified, in the
      Board of Directors Indemnity Agreement Contract Start
      Date: 05/13/2005, as reflected in the Debtors' Schedule G
      -- Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases;

  (d) the past and present relationship Mr. Icahn has with Weil,
      Gotshal, and Manges LLP, the Debtors' counsel;

  (e) the circumstances, identification, and knowledge,
      including written trade orders, trade confirmations and
      brokerage account statements, with respect to Debtor's
      Secured Notes pertaining to Mr. Icahn and any entity of
      which he has or had, direct or indirect beneficial
      ownership; and

  (f) all entities that were active between October 1, 2009, and
      present, including entities which may be presently
      inactive, and each of the listed entities' involvement,
      identification and knowledge with respect to Debtors
      Secured Notes.

Lyme Regis anticipates that after having reviewed the sought
documents and obtained the testimony of Mr. Icahn and the Debtor's
designee, Lyme Regis will seek the production of additional
documents from third parties and the testimony of additional
witnesses.  Lyme Regis says that should that be the case, it will
either obtain the documents and testimony pursuant to informal
arrangements with parties or will seek a further Court order.

Mr. McMillan contends that Mr. Icahn is a proper subject of a Rule
2004 examination as he has relationship with the Debtors and
possesses the knowledge of the Debtors' acts, conduct, liabilities
and financial condition, which relate to the present Bankruptcy
proceeding.

Mr. Icahn is also believed to be a significant influence on the
Debtors, even after resigning from the Board, and continuing into
the present, by way of his stature in the investment community and
the public company community at large, Mr. McMillan further
contends.  He insists that Mr. Icahn's capability to provide debt
financing for the Debtors arguably established long lasting
influence over their management team.

The Court will convene a hearing to consider the request on
December 16, 2010.  Objections are due on December 9.

BLOCKBUSTER INC: Proposes to Hire 3 Real Estate Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------
Blockbuster Inc. and its units seek the Bankruptcy Court's
authority to employ three law firms as their special counsel with
respect to real estate matters, nunc pro tunc to the Petition
Date:

  (1) Bloodworth Carroll, P.C.;
  (2) Ray & Glick, Ltd.; and
  (3) Chaiken Legal Group, P.C.

While the Debtors seek to employ three law firms as special
counsel for real estate matters, the services rendered by each
firm are and will be complementary, and not duplicative in any
manner with the services to be performed by any other party
retained by the Debtors in the Chapter 11 cases, Stephen Karotkin,
Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York, tells the Court.
He asserts that none of the Firms' services involves the conduct
of the Chapter 11 cases.

The Firms' services are necessary to enable the Debtors to manage
issues and complete transactions that may arise in connection with
the Debtors' extensive commercial lease portfolio, Mr. Karotkin
contends.

Prior to the Petition Date, Bloodworth actively represented the
Debtors and their affiliates with regard to commercial leasing
transactions, Mr. Karotkin informs the Court.  He also reveals
that R&G and CLG provided extensive legal advice and services to
the Debtors relating to leasing and real estate matters.

Bloodworth is recently involved in the preparation and negotiation
of more than 300 real estate amendments in connection with
Blockbuster's strategic plan to reduce its rental obligations, he
adds.  R&G is currently involved in certain matters that were
initiated prepetition, namely 30 pending lease modification
transactions and 13 pending sale-leaseback transactions.  CLG is
also currently involved in certain transactions that were
initiated prepetition.

Under their current billing arrangement with Blockbuster, the
three Firms receive compensation from the Debtors based on the
outcome of each individual matter the Firms have undertaken.  The
Firms will also be reimbursed of their necessary expenses.

Bloodworth and CLG are paid a flat fee upon completion of each
"successful transaction," which is defined as the completion of
negotiations with the opposing party and the submission of
execution counterparts of the underlying documentation to
Blockbuster.  For lease amendments, Bloodworth and CLG are paid a
flat fee of $1,250 per successful transaction.

In the event a transaction is "unsuccessful," Bloodworth is paid
for actual fees and expenses incurred as of the date of billing,
based on these hourly billing rates:

      Professional             Rate
      ------------             ----
      Laurie A. Carroll        $450
      Thomas L. Bloodworth     $450

In the event documentation is not submitted to Blockbuster and a
transaction is "unsuccessful," CLG is paid on the basis of actual
fees and expenses incurred based on these hourly rates:

      Professional             Rate
      ------------             ----
      Michael Chaiken          $300
      Other Associates         $250

For transactions with respect to which R&G receives written
direction to prepare documentation, and prepares the
documentation, but Blockbuster elects not to proceed to execution,
R&G receives a flat fee upon Blockbuster's election not to
proceed.  For lease amendments, R&G is paid a flat fee of $1,250.
For purchase and sale agreements, R&G is paid a flat fee of
$7,500, which fee is normally paid out of the sale proceeds.

Laurie A. Carroll, Esq., a shareholder of Bloodworth, Steven J.
Marcus, Esq., a shareholder of R&G, and Michael J. Chaiken, Esq.,
a shareholder of CLG, assure Judge Burton Lifland that the Firms
do not represent or hold any interest adverse to the Debtors or
their bankruptcy estates with respect to the matters as to which
the Firms are to be employed under Section 327 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

A hearing will be held on November 24, 2010, to consider the
applications.  Objections are due on November 16.

BLOCKBUSTER INC: Proposes RRG & DJM as Consultants
--------------------------------------------------
Blockbuster Inc. and its units seek the Bankruptcy Court's
permission to employ DJM Realty Services, LLC, and Retail Regroup
Inc., doing business as Retail Resource Group, to provide
necessary consulting and advisory services with respect to the
potential restructuring of certain of their leasehold interests.

Stephen Karotkin, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, informs the Court that the Debtors and RRG have entered into
that certain Representation Agreement, dated November 8, 2010.  On
the same date, the Debtors also entered into that certain
Agreement for Services with DJM.

The Debtors submit that each of the Firms have extensive
experience in the field of retail real estate and are familiar
with the needs of distressed companies, to negotiate more
favorable terms and other beneficial concessions with landlords
under the Leases.

As consultants and pursuant to the Agreements, RRG and DJM will:

  (1) on Blockbuster Inc.'s behalf and in accordance with the
      goals and parameters established by Blockbuster, negotiate
      more favorable lease terms with landlords under the Leases
      and waivers or reductions of any amounts payable to cure a
      default upon assumption of a lease pursuant to Section
      365(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Blockbuster retains
      complete discretion to accept or reject any proposed lease
      modification or other leasehold concession;

  (2) report periodically to Blockbuster regarding the status of
      negotiations; and

  (3) work with Blockbuster and its counsel to document
      accurately all rent reductions, lease term modifications,
      and other leasehold concessions, including reviewing
      documents and assisting in resolving any problems that may
      arise.

Pursuant to the Agreements, the term of RRG's and DJM's engagement
will be 12 months from the date of the Court's entry of an order
approving the applications -- the effective date.  At
RRG and DJM will be compensated for their services in accordance
with the terms of the Agreements, and reimbursed for the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses they incur, to the extent
approved by Blockbuster in advance and in writing.

The Debtors have agreed to compensate RRG and DJM with these fees:

  (a) Subject to a transaction fee cap of $10,000, for the first
      25% of the Leases, the lease modification fee, to the
      extent payable under the Agreements, will be the greater
      of $2,500, or 5% of:

      * the difference between the base or minimum rent payable
        for the remaining term of the Lease before the execution
        of the applicable lease modification agreement, and the
        base or minimum rent payable for the remaining term of
        the Lease after the execution of the applicable Lease
        Modification Agreement; less

      * any payments made to the landlord or any other party in
        connection with the Lease Modification Agreement;

  (b) Subject to the Transaction Fee Cap, once a Transaction Fee
      has been earned by the Firm for 25% of the Leases, the
      Transaction Fee for each subsequent Lease Modification
      Agreement relating to a Lease will increase to the greater
      of $3,500, or 5% of the Modification Rent Savings.  In the
      event that the Modification Rent Savings for a particular
      Lease Modification Agreement executed after the 25%
      Disposition Threshold is met is less than $25,000, then
      the Transaction Fee for the Lease Modification Agreement
      will be $2,500;

  (c) Subject to the Transaction Fee Cap, once a Transaction Fee
      has been earned by the Firm for 75% of the Leases, the
      Transaction Fee for each subsequent Lease Modification
      Agreement relating to a Lease will increase to the greater
      of $4,500, or 5% of the Modification Rent Savings.  In the
      event that the Modification Rent Savings for a particular
      Lease Modification Agreement executed after the 75%
      Disposition Threshold is met is less than $25,000, then
      the Transaction Fee for the Lease Modification Agreement
      will be $2,500;

  (d) Subject to the Transaction Fee Cap, these additional
      incentives will apply to Lease Modification Agreements
      that do not relate to Leases for "bubble stores," as
      designated by Blockbuster:

      * For each Lease Modification Agreement that adds a
        termination or "kick-out" right in favor of Blockbuster,
        where no termination or "kick-out" right previously
        existed under the Lease, or adds a termination or
        "kick-out" right in favor of Blockbuster that, in
        Blockbuster's reasonable discretion, is more favorable
        than the termination or "kick-out" right existing under
        the Lease, then the Transaction Fee for the Lease
        Modification Agreement will be increased by $500; and

      * For each Lease Modification Agreement that adds an
        option to extend the term of the Lease in favor of
        Blockbuster, where no option or options were
        previously available to Blockbuster under the Lease,
        or adds an option to extend the term of the Lease in
        favor of Blockbuster that, in Blockbuster's
        discretion, is more favorable than the option existing
        under the Lease, the Transaction Fee for the Lease
        Modification Agreement will be increased by $500;

  (e) Subject to the Transaction Fee Cap, an additional
      incentive will apply to all Lease Modification Agreements.
      For each Lease Modification Agreement that contains a
      waiver of outstanding prepetition amounts owed by
      Blockbuster under the applicable Lease, the Transaction
      Fee for the Lease Modification Agreement will be increased
      by 5% of the outstanding prepetition amounts waived;

  (f) The Firms will be entitled to 180 days following the
      expiration or termination of the Agreements to get an
      appropriate Lease Modification Agreement fully executed
      for any Leases with active, pending landlord negotiations;
      and

  (g) A Transaction Fee will not be earned by RRG of DJM until
      the later of the full and complete execution of the
      applicable Lease Modification Agreement by all parties,
      and the date of the Court's entry of an order approving
      the assumption of the applicable Lease as amended.

On the Effective Date, Blockbuster will pay each of the Firms
a $150,000 non-refundable retainer.  The first $150,000 in
Transaction Fees and Assigned Lease Transaction Fees earned by
the Firms will be applied to and offset against the Retainer,
provided that the Firms comply with the invoicing and timing of
payment provisions set forth in the Agreements.

Pursuant to the Representation Agreement and subject to the
approval of the Court, the Debtors have agreed to indemnify and
hold RRG and DJM harmless from all liability, losses, costs,
obligations, expenses, judgments, damages, claims and demands of
any kind whatsoever arising out of Blockbuster's material breach
of its obligations under the Agreements, other than claims arising
as the sole result of the Firm's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

The Firms agree to reciprocally indemnify the Debtors from all
liability, losses, costs, obligations, expenses, judgments,
damages, claims and demands of any kind whatsoever in connection
with the Firms' engagement, any act of the Firms or their agents
and employees beyond the scope of their authority under the
Agreements, and the Firms' material breach of their obligations
under the Agreements.

Mark Wheeler, director and founding principal of RRG, and Edward
P. Zimmer, senior managing director of DJM, assure Judge Burton
Lifland that the Firms are "disinterested persons" as that term is
defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and as required
under Section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Court will convene a hearing on November 24, 2010, to consider
the applications.  Objections are due on November 16.

CB HOLDING: Files for Chapter 11; Plans Sale of All Assets
----------------------------------------------------------
CB Holdings Corp. and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 10-13683) in Wilmington,
Delaware, on November 17, 2010.

The Company said in a statement it intends to use the
reorganization process to provide for an orderly sale of its
ongoing business operations.  The Company filed a motion seeking
approval of $2.5 million of debtor-in-possession financing from
Ally Commercial Finance LLC to fund its continuing operations.

                         Closed Locations

The Company currently operates 20 Charlie Brown's Steakhouse,
12 Bugaboo Creek Steak House and seven The Office Beer Bar & Grill
restaurant locations along the Eastern Seaboard.  In order to
preserve liquidity in a challenging economic environment, the
Company this week closed a total of 29 Charlie Brown's Steakhouse
locations and 18 Bugaboo Creek Steak Houses.

All 39 of the Company's ongoing restaurants are open for business
as usual.  All group and individual reservations and, subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval, gift card redemptions at these
locations are being honored as usual. It is expected that, also
subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, the Company's loyalty
programs and all other customer programs and policies at these
locations will remain in effect.

"We are grateful for the longstanding, loyal support of our
customers, who in many instances include several generations of
the same family," said Craig Godfrey, Executive Vice President of
Operations for CB Holding Corp.  "Although we, like so many other
businesses, have had to face significant challenges in the current
economic environment, we are open for business at 39 locations and
are firmly committed to continuing to provide great food,
exceptional value and friendly service to each and every customer
served."

Mr. Godfrey continued, "We thank our employees at the recently
closed locations who have helped to deliver a great dining
experience for all the customers they have served. Our company
plans to offer employment opportunities, when possible, at other
locations for those employees directly impacted by these
closings."

                        Road to Bankruptcy

The Debtors said in a court filing that a variety of external
factors have led to a decline in the Debtors' revenue over the
last several years, at the same time that costs have increased.
For instance, the restaurant industry has grown more competitive,
the fast-food industry has improved their product offerings and
increased its market share to the detriment of casual dining
restaurants, such as the Debtors, and consumers have changed their
ordering habits.  In addition, the "Great Recession" has led to a
decline in discretionary spending among the Debtors' former and
current customers, and fewer families are frequenting restaurants
while food and labor costs have increased, compounding the
Debtors' distress.

Accordingly, for some time, the Debtors have been in discussions
with their lenders and other parties regarding a financial
restructuring, and they have entered into several amendments to
their various credit and related facilities, but the Debtors' need
for additional liquidity has not been resolved, and the economy
has not improved.  At this time, the only party willing to provide
the Debtors with any funding is Ally Commercial Finance LLC, which
has informed the Debtors that it is only willing to do so as a DIP
loan in Chapter 11 cases where the Debtors market their assets in
anticipation of a global asset sale.

The Debtors owe $70 million on a secured credit facility provided
by Ally and other lenders prepetition.  It also owes $14 million
to Timaran Fund II, LLC, and other parties pursuant to senior
subordinated second lien notes issued prepetition.  The Debtors
also had $30 million of unsecured mezzanine debt obligations.

                        First Day Motions

The Debtors have entered into a DIP arrangement with Ally, and
along with other first-day motions designed to ensure a smooth
transition into Chapter 11, the Debtors have filed a motion to
approve a DIP financing arrangement.

The Debtors also said they are filing a motion to attempt to
sell substantially all of their assets expeditiously pursuant to
11 U.S.C. Sec. 363.

Hearings on the First Day Motions were scheduled for November 18
and 19, 2010, 1:00 PM (EST), at Market Street, 5th Floor,
Courtroom No. 5, in Wilmington, Delaware.

CENTRAL METAL: Bankruptcy Court Approves Plan of Reorganization
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
confirmed Central Metal, Inc.'s Plan of Reorganization, as
amended.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on August 26, 2010,
under the Plan, all holders of secured claims and priority claims
will be paid in full from the post-confirmation income of the
Debtor.  Holders of general unsecured claims amounting to
$1,000,000 will be paid in four payments, each at $250,000.
Interest holder, Jong Uk Byun will receive no payments under the
Plan.

A full-text copy of the disclosure statement explaining the Plan
is available for free at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/CENTRALMETAL_amendedDS.pdf

                     About Central Metal, Inc.

Huntington Park, California-based Central Metal, Inc., purchases,
processes and sells metals.  The Company claims to be one of the
largest processing companies on the West Coast.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
January 8, 2010 (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 10-10642).  Juliet Y.
Oh, Esq., who has an office in Los Angeles, California, represents
the Debtor.  The Company estimated assets and liabilities at
$10 million to $50 million in its Chapter 11 petition.


CHANA TAUB: Husband's 2nd Involuntary Chapter 7 Case Dismissed
--------------------------------------------------------------
Less than a month after the first involuntary petition (Bankr.
E.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-48155) against Simon Taub was dismissed, a
second involuntary Chapter 7 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No.
10-49215) was filed, and the alleged debtor, by way of an order to
show cause, moved to dismiss.  His wife, Chana Taub, the
Petitioning creditor, proceeding pro se, opposed the motion to
dismiss.  The Honorable Elizabeth S. Stong, held that (1Ms. Taub
failed to show that her claim was not subject to a bona fide
dispute as to liability, and (2) Ms. Taub failed to show that her
claim was not subject to a bona fide dispute as to amount.
Accordingly, Judge Stong granted Mr. Taub's motion and and
dismissed the involuntary petition.

WestLaw reports that Ms. Taub failed to show that her claim
against the alleged debtor was not subject to a bona fide dispute
as to liability, and so she did not qualify as a petitioning
creditor under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 303.  Although the petitioning
creditor, a former tenant in one of the alleged debtor's
properties, testified that the alleged debtor was liable to her
for damages from vandalism and theft that he purportedly committed
or arranged, she did not offer documentary evidence in support of
her claim.  Her claim, moreover, had not been reduced to judgment
and had not otherwise been fixed, and she had not commenced an
action against the alleged debtor in another forum to recover
damages for his alleged vandalism and theft.  Any such claims, the
court noted, would be vigorously contested by the alleged debtor.
The petitioning creditor likewise did not support her contention
that the alleged debtor was liable to her for amounts arising out
of her tenancy and the storage of her possessions.  In re Taub, --
- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 4366175 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y.) (Stong, J.).

Dismissal of Ms. Taub's first involuntary petition against Mr.
Taub was covered in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 22,
2010.  The Troubled Company Reporter detailed Judge Stong's five
significant attempts to move Ms. Taub's contentious bankruptcy
case along on April 30, 2010, Sept. 28, 2009, Oct. 5, 2009,
Oct. 15, 2009, and Jan. 11, 2010.

Chana Taub filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No.
08-44210) on July 1, 2008, and is represented by Dennis W. Houdek,
Esq., in Manhattan.


COLONIAL BANCGROUP: Crain Auto Owner in Talks to Buy HQ
-------------------------------------------------------
Russell Hubbard, writing for The Birmingham News, reports that
Larry Crain, of the Crain Automotive Group, one of the largest
automotive dealership chains in Arkansas, said Monday he is in
negotiations to buy Colonial Bancgroup's Montgomery headquarters.

"We plan to lease it out and put it back to productive use,"
Mr. Crain said.

According to Birmingham News, Mr. Crain's interest in Colonial's
properties came to light late last week in a bankruptcy court
filing.  Birmingham News reports court papers said that Mr. Crain
had agreed to purchase the contents of the headquarters for
$110,000.

                  About The Colonial BancGroup

Headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, The Colonial BancGroup,
Inc., (NYSE: CNB) owned Colonial Bank, N.A, its banking
subsidiary.  Colonial Bank -- http://www.colonialbank.com/--
operated 354 branches in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada and
Texas with over $26 billion in assets.  On August 14, 2009,
Colonial Bank was seized by regulators and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation was named receiver.  The FDIC sold most of
the assets to Branch Banking and Trust, Winston-Salem, North
Carolina.  BB&T acquired $22 billion in assets and assumed
$20 billion in deposits of the Bank.

The Colonial BancGroup filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. M.D. Ala. Case No. 09-32303) on August 25, 2009.  W. Clark
Watson, Esq., at Balch & Bingham LLP, and Rufus T. Dorsey IV,
Esq., at Parker Hudson Rainer & Dobbs LLP, assist the Debtor in
its restructuring effort.  In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed
$45 million in total assets and $380 million in total liabilities
as of the Petition Date.


COMMUNICATIONS & POWER: S&P Affirms 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has affirmed
its ratings, including the 'B+' corporate credit rating, on
Communications & Power Industries Inc.  However, S&P revised
the outlook to negative from stable, reflecting the company's
refinancing risk over the next year.

"The ratings on CPI reflect its aggressive financial risk profile,
modest scope of operations, and exposure to some cyclicality and
variability in demand in some of its end markets," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Lisa Jenkins.  "The company's solid market
positions (albeit in small niche markets) and good profit margins
somewhat offset these factors.  Credit protection measures remain
appropriate for the ratings, with debt to EBITDA at about 3.2x,
funds from operations to total debt in the mid-teen percentage
area, and EBITDA interest coverage at about 3.9x.  S&P expects
similar or slightly stronger credit measures over the coming year.
S&P characterizes the company's business risk profile as fair and
its financial risk profile as aggressive."

In May 2010, CPI's parent, CPI International Inc., announced that
it had signed a definitive merger agreement with unrated Comtech
Telecommunications Corp. Under the agreement, Comtech was to
purchase CPI in a $472 million cash and stock transaction to be
funded out of Comtech's existing cash and issuance of about
4.4 million shares of Comtech common stock.  The merger agreement
included a $15 million termination fee.  In September 2010, CPI
announced that it had terminated its agreement with ComTech.

The outlook is negative.  "S&P could lower the ratings if CPI
fails to repay or refinance its 8% notes by Aug. 1, 2011, thereby
causing an acceleration in the maturity date of its credit
facility," Ms.  Jenkins continued.  "S&P could also lower the
ratings before then if S&P conclude that CPI will likely not be
able to refinance the notes.  If CPI successfully deals with this
refinancing risk, S&P is likely to revise the outlook back to
stable."


CONTECH CONSTRUCTION: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Contech Construction Products Inc. to 'B-' from 'SD'
(selective default).  At the same time, S&P raised the issue-level
rating on the company's senior secured credit facilities due
January 2013 to 'B' (one notch higher than the corporate credit
rating) from 'CCC+'.  The recovery rating is '2', which indicates
S&P's expectation of substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the
event of a payment default, albeit at the low end of this range.
The rating outlook is stable.

This action comes as the company completed restructuring
activities that resulted in a reduction of balance-sheet debt of
about $240 million.  The restructuring included the conversion of
approximately $240 million of mezzanine debt into equity and the
amendment of senior secured credit facility to provide more
flexibility under covenants.

The rating actions reflect the completion of Contech's
balance-sheet restructuring and the reduction of approximately
$240 million of debt.  However, despite this reduction in debt,
Contech remains highly leveraged, with about $475 million in
reported debt and adjusted leverage above 7x.  In addition, the
company faces significant maturities in January 2013 when its
senior secured bank credit facility matures.  The rating also
takes into account the limited covenants that now govern the
senior secured bank credit facilities through maturity in 2013.
In addition, S&P expects the company to maintain adequate
liquidity and show an improvement in both operating performance
and credit measures over the next 12 months and keep credit
metrics at a level S&P would consider to be acceptable for the
rating.

"The 'B-' rating reflects what S&P considers to the combination of
Contech's weak business risk profile, influenced by its exposure
to cyclical construction markets, its narrow product offering
dedicated primarily to site development work, its exposure to
volatile steel costs, and its highly leveraged financial risk
profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Thomas Nadramia.

Contech manufactures and distributes pipes and other
infrastructure-related products such as steel pedestrian bridges
and corrugated steel and plastic pipe, and soil retention and
erosion control products used in commercial, residential, and
public infrastructure projects.

DARLING INTERNATIONAL: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Corp. Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Ba3 corporate family and
probability of default ratings to Darling International, Inc.,
a Ba2 rating to the $625 million of senior secured credit
facilities, and a (P)B2 rating to the $250 million of senior
unsecured notes.  At the same time, Moody's issued a speculative
grade liquidity rating of SGL-2.  Proceeds from the debt,
including $175 million drawn under the revolving credit facility,
the $300 million term loan, and the $250 million of notes
alongside $100 million in equity and $60 million in cash, will be
used to finance the acquisition of Griffin Industries for a total
purchase price of approximately $840 million or about 6.5 times
EBITDA.  The rating outlook is stable.  This is the first time
Moody's has rated the debt obligations of Darling.

The (P)B2 rating on the senior unsecured notes is subject to
review of final documentation.

These ratings were assigned:

Darling International, Inc.:

* Corporate Family Rating at Ba3;

* Probability of Default Rating at Ba3;

* $325 million revolving credit facility due 2015 at Ba2 (LGD3,
  33%);

* $300 million senior secured term loan B due 2016 at Ba2 (LGD3,
  33%);

* $250 million senior unsecured notes due 2018 at (P)B2 (LGD5,
  86%);

* Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2;

The outlook is stable.

                        Ratings Rationale

The Ba3 corporate family rating reflects Darling's attractive
profitability and cash flow operating performance despite
volatility from commodity prices and fluctuations in raw material,
significant scale in rendering and recycling for the food
industry, and its critical role in the waste handling process.
End products are in mostly mature markets (pet food, animal feed,
and fertilizer) and modest growth is expected.  Opportunities for
growth will be greater in bio-fuels, a small portion of Darling's
revenues.  The acquisition of Griffin Industries about doubles
Darling's revenues and EBITDA and improves the company's scale and
raw material diversification.  Synergies are likely to include
better route efficiency and some higher margin products.  Despite
revenue declines at both companies in fiscal 2009, flexible
pricing schemes balanced the extraordinary volatility in related
commodities.  Importantly, Moody's anticipates a conservative
financial policy from the company and near term debt repayment
albeit as the company positions itself for future acquisition
opportunities.

Notwithstanding these strengths, Griffin is the largest
acquisition Darling has made to date and will be financed mostly
with debt.  The acquisition, while a strong positive for the
company, carries integration risk.  Both companies will remain
vulnerable to volatility resulting from changes in raw material
volumes as well as the price of finished products.  In addition,
Darling's business can be adversely impacted by several factors
outside its control including, animal disease, weather, regulation
and trade disputes.

Positive rating pressure would develop should debt repayment or
operating margin expansion lead to CFO to net debt sustained above
20% and debt-to-EBITDA well below 3 times.

The ratings could face a negative outlook or ratings downgrade
should operating performance deteriorate such that leverage
approached 4 times, or if integration challenges in the Griffin
acquisition differ materially from management's expectation.

Darling International, Inc., founded in 1882, is a leading
provider of rendering, recycling and recovery solutions to the US
food industry.  Finished products, sold to producers of livestock,
feed, oleo-chemicals, bio-fuels, soaps and pet foods, include meat
and bone meal, bleachable fancy tallow, cookie meal, and yellow
grease.  Pro forma revenues for the combined company for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2009, were $1.1 billion.  The
company is listed on the NYSE, symbol DAR.

ENERJEX RESOURCES: Corrects Net Reserves Computation in Form 10-K
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Enerjex Resources, Inc., filed on November 12, 2010, Amendment No.
1 to Form 10-K to amend its annual report for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 15, 2010.  The purpose of the amendment is to
revise the annual report to reflect a compilation error in the
calculation of the Company's net reserves as of March 31, 2010,
which was discovered by the Company in late August of 2010.

The Company's statement of operations, as restated, showed a net
loss of $4.7 million on $4.9 million of revenue for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2010.  This compares with a net loss of
$5.3 million on $6.4 million of revenue for fiscal 2009.

As restated, the Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010,
showed $7.0 million in total assets, $15.0 million in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $8.0 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 21, 2010,
Weaver & Martin, LLC, in Kansas City, Missouri, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, following the Company's results for the year ended
March 31, 2010.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows.

ESCO CORP: S&P Affirms 'B+' Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said that it has affirmed its
ratings, including the 'B+' long-term corporate credit rating, on
Portland, Ore.-based ESCO Corp.  At the same time, S&P revised the
outlook to positive from stable.

"The rating affirmation and outlook revision reflect S&P's
expectations that ESCO's operating performance will continue to
gradually improve and its credit metrics will likely remain better
than S&P expects for the rating," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Helena Song.  "The ratings primarily reflect ESCO's
aggressive financial profile.  Its weak business risk profile,
characterized by technical expertise and good recurring revenues
from wear-parts products, partially offsets this factor.  S&P
expects the company's revenue to continue to grow in the rest of
2010 and in 2011, primarily due to improved market activity and
product demand."

The outlook is positive.  "S&P could raise the ratings if the
company's credit metrics remains better than S&P's expectations
for the current rating and S&P believes it can generate meaningful
free cash flow (after dividend and anticipated ESOP expenses)
through the operating cycle," Ms. Song continued.  "On the other
hand, S&P could lower the ratings if a cyclical slowdown reduces
activity in the company's end markets or if a change in the
competitive environment erodes its market position, resulting in
credit measures deteriorating significantly, for example, if debt
to EBITDA rises above 5x."


FIRST DATA: Launches Exchange Bid to Move Debt Maturity to 2021
---------------------------------------------------------------
First Data Corporation commenced private offers to exchange up to
$3.750 billion of 9.875% Senior Notes due 2015 and up to $3.710
billion of 10.550% Senior PIK Notes due 2015, for new securities.

First Data will pay the noteholders (i) 50% in new 8.25% Senior
Second Lien Notes due 2021 -- New Cash-Pay Second Lien Notes --
or, at the election of each holder tendering on or prior to the
Early Tender Date and subject to the Minimum New PIK Toggle Amount
and the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount, in new 8.75/10.00% PIK
Toggle Senior Second Lien Notes due 2022, and (ii) 50% in new
12.625% Senior Notes due 2021.

In addition, holders whose Old Notes are exchanged will receive
accrued and unpaid interest in cash in respect of their exchanged
Old Notes from the last applicable interest payment date to, but
not including, the settlement date for the Exchange Offers.  The
maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued in the
Exchange Offers will not exceed $5.5 billion.

The New Notes will be issued by First Data and guaranteed by
substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries.  The New Second
Lien Notes will be secured on a second-priority lien basis by
substantially all the domestic assets owned by the Company and
subsidiary guarantors of the New Notes to the extent such assets
secure obligations under First Data's senior secured credit
facility and existing senior secured notes.

For each $1,000 principal amount of 9.875% Senior Notes tendered
on or prior to the Early Tender Date, holders will receive $1,000
principal amount of New Notes, consisting of $500 of New Second
Lien Notes and $500 of New Unsecured Notes.

For each $1,000 principal amount of 10.550% Senior PIK Notes
tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date, holders will
receive $1,000 principal amount of New Notes, consisting of $500
of New Second Lien Notes and $500 of New Unsecured Notes.

The New Second Lien Notes consist of New Cash-Pay Second Lien
Notes and/or New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes, depending on the
election of the tendering holder and subject to the Minimum New
PIK Toggle Amount and the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount, initially
$500.0 million and $1.0 billion, respectively.

For 9.875% Senior Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date,
holders will receive $970 principal amount of New Notes,
consisting of $485 of New Cash-Pay Second Lien Notes and $485 of
New Unsecured Notes.

For 10.550% Senior PIK Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date,
holders will receive $970 principal amount of New Notes,
consisting of $485 of New Cash-Pay Second Lien Notes and $485 of
New Unsecured Notes.

The Early Tender Date is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
December 1, 2010.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued in the
Exchange Offers will not exceed $5.5 billion.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of New PIK Toggle Second
Lien Notes issued in the Exchange Offers will not exceed $1.0
billion.  Holders whose Old Notes are validly tendered (and not
validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Date may elect
to receive New Second Lien Notes in the form of New PIK Toggle
Second Lien Notes, provided that no New PIK Toggle Second Lien
Notes will be issued unless PIK Toggle Elections would result in
the issuance of at least $500 million aggregate principal amount
of New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes.  If the Minimum New PIK
Toggle Amount is not met, then holders electing to receive New PIK
Toggle Second Lien Notes will only receive New Cash-Pay Second
Lien Notes in respect of the principal amount of New Second Lien
Notes that they are eligible to receive in the Exchange Offers.
If the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount would be exceeded, then the
New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes will be allocated to holders who
have made a PIK Toggle Election, as set forth in the Offering
Memorandum.

If the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered
(and not validly withdrawn) in the Exchange Offers would, if
accepted, result in the issuance of New Notes in an aggregate
principal amount equal to or less than the Maximum Exchange
Amount, then, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Exchange Offers, First Data will accept for exchange all Old Notes
validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn).  If the aggregate
principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly
withdrawn) in the Exchange Offers would result in the issuance of
New Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the
Maximum Exchange Amount, then, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Exchange Offers, the Old Notes validly tendered
(and not validly withdrawn) will be accepted for exchange on a
prorated basis, with Old Notes as to which a PIK Toggle Election
has been made receiving a preference.

Subject to applicable law, First Data reserves the right, but is
not obligated, to increase the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount
and/or the Maximum Exchange Amount.

Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offers may be
withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
December 1, 2010 but not thereafter.

1933, as amended or any state securities laws.

the Exchange Offers, (866) 294-2200 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 430-

                         About First Data

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, First Data Corporation, with over
$10 billion of revenue for the 12 months ended June 30, 2010,
provides commerce and payment solutions for financial
institutions, merchants, and other organizations worldwide.

On May 7, 2009, Moody's Investors Service downgraded First Data's
corporate family and probability-of-default ratings to B3 from B2,
its $2 billion Senior Secured Revolving Facility rating to B1 from
Ba3, its $12.7 billion Senior Secured Term Loan rating to B1 from
Ba3, and its $3.75 billion Senior Unsecured Cash Pay Notes to Caa1
from B3.  In addition, Moody's assigned a Caa1 rating to the $3
billion Senior Unsecured PIK Notes and Caa2 rating on the $2.5
billion Senior Subordinated Notes.

In August 2010, Moody's assigned a B1 rating to First Data's
proposed $500 million Senior Secured First Lien Notes and affirmed
the company's existing ratings with a stable outlook.  According
to the Troubled Company Reporter on August 13, 2010, First Data's
B3 corporate family rating reflects Moody's view that the capital
structure will not materially change with the proposed issuance of
$500 million of secured notes, which would effectively extend a
small portion of the $12.4 billion senior secured term
loan due September 2014.  However, Moody's view the amendment to
have favorable long-term credit implications as it provides the
company with the flexibility to improve its capital structure.

First Data carries these Fitch ratings -- Long-term Issuer Default
Rating at 'B'; $2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility
due 2013 at 'BB-/RR2'; $12.4 billion senior secured term loan B
due 2014 at 'BB-/RR2'; $3.75 billion 9.875% senior unsecured notes
due 2015 at 'CCC/RR6'; $3.5 billion 10.55% senior unsecured notes
with four-year mandatory paid-in-kind interest due 2015 at
'CCC/RR6'; and $2.5 billion 11.25% senior subordinated notes due
2016 at 'CC/RR6'.

The TCR also reported on August 13 that Fitch expects First Data's
efforts to extend and refinance its capital structure to take up
to several years at a significant cost in incremental interest
expense as well as consent and underwriting fees.  Fitch believes
there are reasonable expectations that First Data will continue to
grow EBITDA and free cash flow sufficiently to manage the
conversion of its PIK notes to cash pay at the end of 2011.
However, the Company's ability to manage its refinancing needs are
less certain and dependent in part upon growth expectations for
the Company beyond the next three years as well as the interest of
equity investors in a potential IPO of the Company sometime before
mid-2014.


G3 MARINA: Court Denies Creditors' Bid to Dismiss Case
------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Tom R. Cornish denies the request of creditors
Mark Pfeifer, Debbie Pfeifer and Kevin Weniger to dismiss the
bankruptcy case of G3 Marina Adventures, L.L.C., pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b), or, in the alternative, for the Court to
abstain from hearing any disputes between them and Debtor,
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 305.  The creditors allege that the
case was filed in bad faith.

Judge Cornish, however, says "this is not a case where Debtor
attempted to transfer property out of the estate to avoid using it
to pay creditors."  Judge Cornish points out that Richard Toler,
who claims to own 100% of the membership shares in the Debtor, was
attempting to preserve property so that the Debtor would be able
to propose a confirmable plan.

Judge Cornish further rules that the Debtor is not the owner or
lessee of the Army Corps of Engineers Lease No. DACW56-1-93-040
for the Whitehorn Cove Marina on Fort Gibson Lake, Wagoner County,
Oklahoma.

A copy of Judge Cornish's order dated November 16, 2010, is

Based in Wagoner, Oklahoma, G3 Marina Adventures, L.L.C., owns the
Whitehorn Cove Marina, located on Ft. Gibson Lake, Wagoner County,

Okla. Case No. 10-81266) on July 22, 2010.  James W. Stamper,
Attorney at Law, P.C., serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.
In its schedules, the Company says assets total $1,170,761 while
debts total $3,314,522.


G3 MARINA: Court Wants Bankruptcy Exit Plan by Dec. 15
------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Tom R. Cornish won't extend G3 Marina Adventures,
L.L.C.'s exclusive period to file a Chapter 11 plan.  Judge
Cornish says the Debtor needs to take appropriate steps to
demonstrate that it will be able to effectively reorganize, or
seek conversion or dismissal of the case on its own motion.

On November 16, Judge Cornish denied a request by Mark Pfeifer,
Debbie Pfeifer and Kevin Weniger to dismiss the bankruptcy case
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b), or, in the alternative, for
the Court to abstain from hearing any disputes between them and
Debtor, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 305.  The creditors allege that
the case was filed in bad faith.

"The Court does not desire to extend the exclusivity period, but
it does determine that a deadline is appropriate to ensure prompt
action by Debtor and protect the interests of creditors and of the
estate," Judge Cornish says.

The Debtor's exclusivity period will expire November 19, 2010.  By
December 15, 2010, the Debtor must file either its Disclosure
Statement with Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, a motion to
convert, or a motion to dismiss.

Based in Wagoner, Oklahoma, G3 Marina Adventures, L.L.C., owns

GLOUCESTER ENGINEERING: Prepares to Emerge From Bankr. by Yearend
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Gloucester Engineering Co. has won approval of its Disclosure
Statement in support of its Plan of Reorganization from the
Bankruptcy Court in the District of Massachusetts.  The Disclosure
Statement describes the proposed Plan of Reorganization and
contains information regarding the debtor and its business.  Its
approval by the Court is an important milestone in the company's
path toward exiting bankruptcy and allows the creditors to vote
upon the Plan.  Ballots were sent to the creditors on November 17
and a Confirmation Hearing is scheduled for December 20, 2010.

The company's Plan of Reorganization is being sponsored by an
affiliate of Blue Wolf Capital Fund II ("Blue Wolf") and has the
support of the Creditors' Committee.

"This is an extremely positive development for our company, and we
encourage our creditors to vote in favor of the plan as well, as
we believe it represents the highest possible recovery for them.
Our customers have already shown confidence in GEC by placing new
orders throughout our rebuilding efforts, and this outcome should
give them continued assurance as we move forward," said Carl
Johnson, President of GEC.

Michael Ranson, Partner at Blue Wolf Capital, said, "We are very
pleased with the Court's decision, which paves the way for the
company to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of the year."  He
added, "GEC's restructuring is on track and is already yielding
positive results as the company has steadily improved its
productivity, accepted new orders, and devised a clear strategy
for improving its balance sheet and operations.  We are grateful
to GEC's many customers and suppliers for their continued support
as the company completes its turnaround and regains its position
as a leader in this growing industry."

Gloucester Engineering Europe GmbH is the Vienna-based subsidiary
of Gloucester Engineering Co. Inc., a blown and cast film
machinery maker in Gloucester, Massachusetts.  GEC manufactures
its equipment from its headquarters in Gloucester, MA, USA and
through its joint-venture company in Damman, India, Kabra
Gloucester Engineering.  Gloucester Engineering's Chapter 7 case
-- filed on March 23, 2010 -- was converted to Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on June 25, 2010 (Bankr. D. Mass. Case No.
10-12967).

                         *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, European
Plastic News said on Sept. 1, creditors of Gloucester Engineering
Europe voted to accept a settlement offer from the Gloucester,
Massachusetts-based parent company to pay 30% of the money owed
them, or about EUR360,000 (US$503,000).


GRUPO FERTINAL: Moody's Withdraws 'B2' Rating to $200 Mil. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew the B2 rating for Grupo
Fertinal, S.A. de C.V.'s proposed $200 million senior secured
notes due 2015.  This action follows Fertinal's cancellation of
its proposed public notes issue.

The last rating action on Fertinal occurred on September 16, 2010,
when Moody's assigned first time ratings to Fertinal and its
proposed notes offering.

Grupo Fertinal, S.A. de C.V., is a producer of various phosphate
and nitrogen-based fertilizers and related industrial products
(LDAN, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid).  The company
has a fertilizer production complex in an industrial complex at
the port of Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan (west coast of Mexico) and
a phosphate mine in San Juan de la Costa, Baja California Sur.

Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it
uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and
from sources Moody's considers to be reliable including, when
appropriate, independent third-party sources.  However, Moody's is
not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify
or validate information received in the rating process.


GULFSTREAM INTERNATIONAL: Seeks to Hunt for Potential Buyers

HARRISBURG, PA: Awaits Results of State Oversight Application
-------------------------------------------------------------
Romy Varghese at Dow Jones Newswires reports that the hearing on
Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson's application to the state's
oversight program, known as Act 47, was closed Wednesday after
more testimony from the public and local officials.

Dow Jones says attorneys have 10 days to file briefs, and then
Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Austin
Burke will make the decision on whether to declare Harrisburg
distressed after receiving them, and other records.

Dow Jones relates Fred Reddig, executive director of the
governor's Center for Local Government Services, said the
department will move "as expeditiously as possible."  Mr. Reddig,
however, couldn't provide a deadline.

Pennsylvania's program aims to stabilize municipalities under
severe financial strain and set them on a path for sustainable
fiscal health.  Distressed cities get a state-appointed
coordinator who drafts a recovery plan, and are eligible for other
revenue sources unavailable to other local governments, such as a
commuter tax.

Dow Jones reports Neil Grover, a city attorney who is spearheading
Debt Watch Harrisburg, challenges if the program has enough funds
for any grants or bridge loans to help Harrisburg.  If Harrisburg
is declared distressed, the group wants a concurrent decision
allowing the city to file for bankruptcy.

According to Dow Jones, bankruptcy advocates believe that the
threat of filing would force creditors to negotiate a settlement
of the city's debt that would be better for residents.

Dow Jones reports Harrisburg Council Vice President Patty Kim said
at the hearing that the state's oversight program is preferable
since it would "chart a new course for the city."  Even if a
Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy resulted in Harrisburg's debts
being settled, "the system in City Hall is broken," she said.

Mr. Varghese further reports that the City Council is expected
next week to finalize its contract with Cravath, Swaine & Moore
LLP.  Dow Jones also relates that commissioners in Dauphin County,
who are suing the city for missing debt payments on an incinerator
project the county was forced to cover, voted on Wednesday to hire
McNees, Wallace & Nurick LLC of Harrisburg to advise them on the
county's rights if Harrisburg files for municipal bankruptcy.

                      About Harrisburg, PA

The city of Harrisburg is coping with debt related to a failed
revamp of an incinerator.  The outstanding principal on the
Incinerator debt is $288 million.  Total principal and interest on
this debt would amount to approximately $458 million.  Debt
service payments on the total incinerator debt are $20 million per
year.  Of this total, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, is responsible
for roughly $10 million and Harrisburg is responsible for the
other $10 million.   The city is guarantor on 100% of the
$288 million Incinerator debt.

The City Council of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, voted 5-2 on
September 28 to seek professional advice on bankruptcy or state
oversight.  Harrisburg needed state aid to avoid default on
$3.3 million of bond payments this month.

The city has missed about $8 million in debt-service payments this
year on bonds issued in connection with a trash-to-energy
incinerator.  The city owes another $40 million by the end of the
year, and was sued by its home county Dauphin County; bond insurer
Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., a unit of Assured Guaranty Ltd.;
and bond trustees TD Bank and M&T Bank Corp. over $19 million in
skipped bond payments.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 4, 2010,
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap said Harrisburg doesn't have enough money
now to make two debt payments totaling $305,952 on November 15.
Chuck Ardo, spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, said the city
intends to make the payments.


HAMTRAMCK, MI: State Presents 3 Options to Avoid Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------
Melanie D. Scott, writing for The Detroit Free Press, reports that
Michigan state treasury officials in a conference call Wednesday
gave the city of Hamtramck three loan options Wednesday that they
say could help the city avoid bankruptcy and eliminate its $3
million deficit:

     -- Hamtramck could take out an emergency loan for up to
        $3 million, which could be paid back over 20 years;

     -- take out a tax anticipation loan, which would allow the
        city to borrow up to half of whatever it anticipates
        collecting in property taxes next year; or

     -- go for a fiscal stabilization bond, which would allow the
        city to borrow 3% of its assessed value.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Hamtramck officials
sent a letter to the state seeking permission to file for
bankruptcy.  State treasury officials received the letter Monday.

According to the Free Press, Hamtramck City Manager Bill Cooper
called the options presented Wednesday questionable and said any
of them would only delay the city's financial problems, especially
if the city does not win a lawsuit against the City of Detroit, in
which it seeks millions in tax dollars that it claims Detroit owes
it.

The Free Press says Gov. Jennifer Granholm expressed optimism that
the crisis will be solved.


HEARTLAND RESOURCES: Investors' Summary Judgment Bid Denied
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Joseph H. McKinley Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Kentucky denies Frederick P. Clayton, Jr., et
al.'s motion for partial summary judgment against Hunter Durham.
Clayton et al. sued Heartland Resources, Inc., Mr. Durham and
other parties for misrepresentation and fraud with regard to the
Heartland securities they acquired.

Heartland issued working interests and partnership interests in a
number of offerings sold to Clayton et al.  Mr. Durham is an
experienced securities lawyer, who represented and advised
Heartland in the issuance of the securities.

Judge McKinley says Clayton et al. have failed to produce any
evidence that they relied on the material misrepresentations.  Mr.
Durham, on the other hand, has produced evidence: He has
identified 29 plaintiffs who testified that they did not read the
private placement memorandums before investing; 24 plaintiffs who
testified that they did not read the PPM closely before investing;
and 20 plaintiffs who never even received a PPM.

The case is Frederick P. Clayton, Jr., et al., v. Heartland
Resources, Inc., et al., case no. 08-94 (W.D. Ky.), and copy of
Judge McKinley's Memorandum Opinion and Order, dated Nov. 16,
2010, is available at http://is.gd/hlqMVfrom Leagle.com.

In a separate ruling, Judge McKinley grants Mr. Durham's eight
motions for summary judgment against individual plaintiffs on
several over-lapping theories.  Judge McKinley denies Mr. Durham's
motion for summary judgment against all plaintiffs based on an
election of remedies theory as well as a motion for oral argument.
A copy of Judge McKinley's Memorandum Opinion and Order, also
dated Nov. 16, 2010, is available at http://is.gd/hlssIfrom
Leagle.com.

Heartland Resources Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company.
On May 20, 2009, Heartland filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr.
W.D. Ky. Case No. 09-10917).  Mark H. Flener, Esq., serves as
counsel to the Debtor.  In November 2009, the Court appointed a
receiver to manage the oil and gas wells that Heartland had
previously owned.


HOMEGOLD FIN'L: S.C. High Court Questions Validity of CEO Appeal
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press' Page Ivey reports that all five state
Supreme Court justices on Tuesday questioned the validity of an
appeal by a former mortgage lending executive, who was seeking a
new trial or a reduction in his 20-year sentence for his role in
one of the largest bankruptcies in South Carolina state history.

The AP recalls a Lexington County jury in 2007 found former
HomeGold chief executive Ronald Sheppard guilty of securities
fraud, conspiracy and obtaining property by false pretenses in the
2003 collapse of HomeGold and its subsidiary, Carolina Investors.
More than 8,000 investors lost $275 million.

The AP relates attorney Michael Sautter argued that the trial
judge's failure to resolve an incident of inappropriate juror
contact and the State Grand Jury's lack of jurisdiction over the
charges on which Sheppard was convicted added up to an unfair
trial for his client.

The AP says Mr. Sheppard's attorneys also argued that their client
received a much harsher sentence that the rest of the company
executives who either pleaded guilty or were convicted in the
case.

The court will issue a ruling at a later date.

                     About HomeGold Financial

HomeGold Financial Inc. originated and sold residential mortgages
to homebuyers with credit problems.  HomeGold Financial and
HomeGold Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
March 31, 2003 (Bankr. D. S.C. Case No. 03-03865).  William E.
Calloway, Esq., at Robinson, Barton, McCarthy, Calloway & Johnson,
P.A., represented the Debtors.  When the Debtors filed for
protection from their creditors, they estimated assets and debts
of more than $100 million.

The filings came as a result of the inability of HomeGold
Financial to make repayments of its inter-company loan to
subsidiary Carolina Investors, Inc.  Investor interest in
maintaining investments in notes and debentures issued by Carolina
Investors, Inc., had declined significantly.  Because of these
factors, Carolina Investors, Inc., was unable to meet its payment
obligations to all of its note and debenture holders and had not
opened its offices for business since March 21, 2003.


HMP SERVICES: Organizational Meeting to Form Panel on Nov. 22
-------------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, United States Trustee for Region 3, will
hold an organizational meeting on November 22, 2010, at 2:00 p.m.
in the bankruptcy case of HMP Services Holding, Inc., et al.  The
meeting will be held at J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building, 844 King
Street, Room 2112, Wilmington, DE 19801.

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee or
committees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' cases.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors
pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A representative
of the Debtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and
provide background information regarding the bankruptcy cases.

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States
Trustee appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as
practicable.  The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons,
willing to serve, that hold the seven largest unsecured claims
against the debtor of the kinds represented on the committee.
Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee
may consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its
business operations and participate in the formulation of a plan
of reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services
as are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

Grafton, Massachusetts-based HMP Services Holding, Inc. -- aka
Harold M. Pitman Company, Pitman, Pitman Company, and PrintNation

KIDSPEACE INC: Moody's Affirms 'Caa2' Rating to $56 Mil. Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Caa2 long-term bond
ratings assigned to KidsPeace Inc.'s $56.0 million of Series 1998
and Series 1999 outstanding bonds issued by the Lehigh County
General Purpose Authority, PA.  The rating outlook remains
negative.

Legal Security: The bonds are secured by a gross revenues pledge
of the obligated group members consisting of KidsPeace Corp,
KidsPeace National Centers, Inc., KidsPeace National Centers of
Pennsylvania, Inc., and KidsPeace Children's Hospital, Inc.
Violation of 1.1 times rate covenant requires a consultant, and
violation of a 1.0 times rate covenant is an event of default.
As of December 31, 2009, KidsPeace was in compliance with its
rate covenants.

Interest Rate Derivatives: None.

                            Strengths

* National human service provider with expanding geographic and
  service line diversification, with operations in twelve states,
  including Maine, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Jersey and
  Minnesota and most recently Nevada

* New admission criteria, training, and more licensed
  professionals in place to improve safety and clinical practices,
  following operational issues in fiscal year (FY) 2007 and FY
  2008

* All fixed rated debt structure with no derivatives exposure

* Frozen defined benefit pension plan

                            Challenges

* Thin absolute cash and materially weakened liquidity measures of
  17 days cash on hand and 8.5% cash-to-debt at fiscal yearend
  (FYE) 2009 and 22 days and 10.2% cash-to-debt at August 31,
  2010, due to lower residential facility census, economic
  conditions, county holdbacks on reimbursement and an additional
  payroll cycle in December 2009

* Weak and moderating operating performance as indicated by
  operating cash flow margin declining to -0.5% through 8 months
  of FY 2010 after rebounding to 6% in FY 2009; operating revenue
  declined 9% in FY 20009 and 8% decline through eight months of
  FY 2010 due in part to the closure of facilities, repositioning
  of clinical programs and census declines

* Payment rates for residential care remain a pressure; lack of
  diversity in revenue sources as indicated by 43% Medicaid as a
  percentage of gross revenues

* Very high debt burden with 13 times debt-to-cash-flow and 1.4
  times peak debt service coverage in FY 2009

* Industry risk of litigation and increased investigations
  concerning possible violation of regulations related to
  KidsPeace's residential programs and juvenile population
  although strategies have been put in place to mitigate risk

                    Recent Developments/Results

Headquartered in Schnecksville, PA, KidsPeace offers nation-wide
behavioral and mental health treatment programs and services in
twelve states and the District of Columbia for children,
adolescents and families through a combination of hospital,
residential, diagnostic, educational, therapeutic and day
treatment services, and foster care services.  KidsPeace offers
services in Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and
the District of Columbia.  Approximately 48.5% of KidsPeace's
revenue is generated through its residential treatment programs,
followed by foster care which contributes 30.7% to operations.
KidsPeace's broad array of services and geographic reach is viewed
as a credit strength.  Despite KidsPeace's broad geographic reach
and services, weaker operating performance and thin balance sheet
measures remain at concerning levels and continue to pressure the
rating.

Operating results in FY 2009 and year-to-date FY 2010 reflect
continued decline in census and the effects of the economy.
KidsPeace recorded a $1.4 million operating loss (-1.1% margin)
and $7.3 million operating cash flow (6% margin) in FY 2009.
Annualized eight months of FY 2010 resulted in weaker results with
an $8.9 million operating loss (-7.9% margin) and $509,000
operating cash flow loss (-0.5% margin).  Even though the human
service provider industry is characterized by low margins that
make it difficult to generate and retain operating surpluses,
KidsPeace's weakened performance has strained already thin levels
of cash.  Management continues to implement strategies to control
expenses and increase census.  Since FY 2008, KidsPeace has
implemented significant expense reduction initiatives that include
two workforce reductions including management, a salary rollback
of 1% to 10%, freezing of its defined benefit pension plan as of
January 1, 2009, overhauled employee benefit plans and selling
outpatient and foster care operations in Florida.

KidsPeace's census continues to experience declines at their
residential, juvenile justice, and many of their foster care
programs.  Overall residential average daily census declined 13%
through eight months of FY 2010 to 334 from 382 the prior year
while foster care and family services average daily census
declined 8% (to 828 from 904) through eight months of FY 2010
compared to the previous year.  Despite overall census decline,
KidsPeace Hospital average daily census grew 20% through eight
months of FY 2010 from the prior year.  Additionally, management
has implemented strategies focused on offering new and expanding
services including starting a Fire Setter program in Minnesota,
expanding its Pennsylvania Medical Assistance licensed residential
beds and KidsPeace Hospital bed capacity, completing a new
outpatient center in Bethlehem, PA and expanding residential
services for autism in Maine.

Increased federal, state and local government scrutiny in the
industry continue to place at risk reimbursement for programs and
services offered by KidsPeace.  KidsPeace derives a significant
portion of gross revenues from government agencies and payors even
as management seeks out other revenue streams to support its
services.  Holdbacks of reimbursement for services by local
counties, program closures and holds on state licenses have in the
past presented significant operating challenges.  In 2007, a ten-
week hold on admissions was imposed on KidsPeace by the
Pennsylvania Department of Welfare resulting in a 41% decline in
residential census.  Additionally, a dual diagnosis program was
closed in FY 2008 following a client incident and resulted in a
total loss of $11 million for 2008.  Although all Pennsylvania
residential programs are now fully licensed and accredited and
there have been no subsequent incidents at KidsPeace, risks
related to government reimbursement and operating license are
still viable.

At August 31, 2010, KidsPeace had $6.7 million in unrestricted
cash (22 days cash on hand) slightly up from $5.5 million (17 days
cash on hand) at FYE 2009 due to challenges with census, county
holdbacks and state payors.  Continued operational challenges as
well as KidsPeace's lack of diversity in revenue streams as
reflected by its high percentage of Medicaid (43% of gross
revenue) and pressures around payment rates for residential care
continue to temper liquidity and remain a key credit concern.
KidsPeace's debt measures remain leveraged with 137% debt-to-
capitalization and 0.1% peak debt service coverage although
partially mitigated by its 100% fixed rate debt structure and no
derivative exposure.  KidsPeace's investment allocation remains
conservative with 12% allocated to equities and 88% in cash with
liquidity available within one month.

                             Outlook

The negative outlook reflects Moody's belief that KidsPeace's
weakened balance sheet and liquidity remain at concerning levels
as management repositions the services offered by KidsPeace .

                What could change the rating -- Up

Future upward rating movement will largely depend on a material
increase in unrestricted liquidity; significant increase in
operating cash flow allowing KidsPeace to grow the balance sheet
and stabilization of census trends

               What could change the rating -- Down

Operating losses resulting in weakening of balance sheet and
leverage measures; violation of a 1.0 times rate covenant, leading
to further declines in liquidity.

                          Key Indicators

Assumptions & Adjustments:

  -- Based on financial statements for KidsPeace Inc.

  -- First number reflects audit year FY 2009 ended December 31,
     2009

  -- Second number reflects eight months of unaudited year FY 2010
     ended August 31, 2010 (annualized)

  -- Investment returns normalized at 6% unless otherwise noted

* Inpatient admissions: n/a; n/a

* Total operating revenues: $121.3 million; $112.8 million

* Moody's-adjusted net revenue available for debt service:
  $9.0 million; $439,000

* Total debt outstanding: $65.2 million; $65.2 million

* Maximum annual debt service (MADS): $6.4 million; $6.4 million

* MADS Coverage with reported investment income: 1.4 times; 0.0
  times

* Moody's-adjusted MADS Coverage with normalized investment
  income: 1.4 times; 0.1 times

* Debt-to-cash flow: 13.1 times; 148.4 times

* Days cash on hand: 17 days; 22 days

* Cash-to-debt: 8.5%; 10.2%

* Operating margin: -1.1%; -7.9%

* Operating cash flow margin: 6%; -0.5%

Rated Debt (Debt Outstanding As Of December 31, 2009):

  -- Series 1998 Fixed rate Revenue Bonds ($52.4 million
     outstanding) rated Caa2

  -- Series 1999 Fixed Rate Revenue Bonds ($3.6 million
     outstanding) rated Caa2

The last rating action with respect to KidsPeace was on
December 10, 2009, when a municipal finance scale rating of
Caa2 was assigned and the outlook was stable.  That rating was
subsequently recalibrated to Caa2 on May 7, 2010.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Court Directs BofA to Return $500MM Seized
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. James M. Peck rules that Bank of America's seizure of
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s deposited funds was an
unauthorized and impermissible setoff in violation of the
automatic stay in LBHI's bankruptcy case.  Judge Peck directs the
return of $500 million plus interest that BofA seized.  Judge Peck
reserves his decision on the issue of any costs, damages or
sanctions to be awarded.

The parties are instructed to contact chambers to arrange a status
conference within two weeks for purposes of scheduling any further
proceedings that may be appropriate to determine the amount of any
further monetary award.

"The current litigation between LBHI and [BofA] sheds light on
actions taken by [BofA] to better protect itself from Lehman-
related credit risk in August 2008, only a matter of weeks before
LBHI filed for bankruptcy," Judge Peck says.

LBHI posted a secured interest-bearing cash collateral account for
$500 million with BofA a few weeks before it filed for bankruptcy.
The cash collateral account was subject to terms and conditions of
a security agreement executed on August 25, 2008 following
expedited negotiations.

Judge Peck notes BofA was particularly worried about the risk of
suffering potentially significant losses in the course of
performing its customary role as Lehman's clearing bank with
respect to multiple securities transactions handled by the bank
each business day.

Defendant, v. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Defendant and
Counterclaim-Plaintiff, and Lehman Brothers Special Financing
Inc., Defendant, Adv. Pro. Case No. 08-01753 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.).  A

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Giddens Wants Removal Period Moved Until May 9
---------------------------------------------------------------
James Giddens, trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc., asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to give
him until May 9, 2011, to file notices of removal of civil cases
involving LBI.  The current deadline is set to expire on
December 8, 2010.

Daniel Lubell, Esq., at Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, in New York,
says analysis of the cases involving LBI requires review of the
facts and the procedural posture of each case, and involves
coordination with the separate counsel who represented LBI in
connection with those cases.

Without an extension of the deadline, Mr. Lubell says, the
LBI Trustee risks "making premature removal decisions or waiving
these rights before he has had an opportunity to complete an
evaluation of these issues."

The Court will consider the proposed extension at the
November 17, 2010 hearing.  Deadline for filing objections is
November 10, 2010.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: LH 1440 Wants Stamp on State Street Deal Delayed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
L.H. 1440 LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to delay approval of an agreement between
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and State Street Bank and Trust
Company until the resolution of its appeal before a district
court.

In court papers, L.H. 1440 expressed concern that the approval of
the agreement would render its potential claims against State
Street Bank moot.

L.H. 1440 earlier took an appeal to the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York to reconsider the decision
dismissing its claims against the bank.  The appeal has already
been briefed and a conference is scheduled for December 3, 2010.

If approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the agreement would permit
State Street Bank to foreclose on a real estate securing the
company's $15.6 million loan to L.H. 1440.

LBHI provided $15.6 million and two other loans totaling more
than $11 million to fund the acquisition and development of the
real estate in Bronx, New York.  The $15.6 million loan was among
those purchased by State Street Bank as part of a 2007 repurchase
transaction with Lehman Commercial paper Inc.  L.H. 1440
allegedly defaulted on the $15.6 million loan, prompting State
Street Bank to seek foreclosure of the property.

         LBHI & State Street Want Objection Overruled

LBHI and State Street Bank asked the Court to overrule the
objection of L.H. 1440.

"L.H. 1440 is seeking a stay pending appeal without presenting
any of the evidence or making any of the necessary showings to
obtain such an injunction," said LBHI's lawyer, Jacqueline
Marcus, Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York.

Ms. Marcus said that the agreement won't affect L.H. 1440's
rights, pointing out that the agreement does not seek any relief
with respect to the proceedings in the District Court between
L.H. 1440 and State Street.  She further argued that the status
of L.H. 1440's claims is not relevant in determining whether it
is appropriate to authorize LBHI and LCPI to step aside to allow
State Street Bank to enforce its rights with respect to the loan.

Meanwhile, State Street Bank dismissed L.H. 1440's argument that
an approval of the agreement would render its claim moot,
pointing out that its claims against the bank have no bearing on
the propriety of the agreement whether or not the appeal is
affirmed.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Wins Nod for Clyde as Special Counsel
------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its affiliated debtors received
bankruptcy court approval to employ Clyde Click P.C. as their
special counsel effective October 1, 2010.

Clyde has served as one of the "ordinary course" professionals
retained by the Debtors.  The firm's fees and expenses, however,
are expected to exceed the $1 million compensation cap for OCPs,
prompting the Debtors to seek approval to employ the firm as
special counsel pursuant to Sections 327 of the Bankruptcy Code.

As special counsel, Clyde will continue to provide the same
services including asset management and representing the Debtors
in connection with loan restructuring and workout.  The firm will
also provide new services to the Debtors such as equity
investment analysis, among other things.

Clyde will be paid for its services on an hourly basis and will
be reimbursed for its expenses.  The hourly rates for the firm's
professionals are $495 for partners, $415 for associates, and
$230 to $250 for paraprofessionals.

In a declaration, Clyde Click, Esq., a partner at Clyde, assures
the Court that the firm does not represent or hold any interest
adverse to the Debtors or their estates.

Tracy Hope Davis, the United States Trustee for Region 2, said
she has reviewed the Application.  Based on that review and on
her monitoring of the Debtors' bankruptcy cases, she said she has
no objection to the Application.

LEVEL PROPANE: 6th Cir. BAP Upholds Plan Confirmation
-----------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Sixth Circuit affirms the
bankruptcy court's orders dismissing William H. Maloof's complaint
to revoke confirmation of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan of Level
Propane Gases, Inc. et al., pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1144, for
failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under
Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; and the
bankruptcy court's denial of Mr. Maloof's motion for leave to file
a third amended complaint.

Upon examination, the Panel unanimously agrees that the facts and
legal arguments presented in the briefs and record, and the
decisional process would not be significantly aided by oral
argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(j)(2)(c), Rules of the Sixth Circuit;
6th Cir. BAP LBR 8012.  The Panel also concludes that there is
sufficient evidence in the record to support the bankruptcy
court's orders dismissing Mr. Maloof's complaint and denying
Mr. Maloof's motion for leave to file a third amended complaint.

A full-text copy of the BAP Opinion penned by the Hon. Marci B.
McIvor and dated November 16, 2010, is available at
http://is.gd/hlehQfrom Leagle.com.

Creditors of Level Propane Gasses, Inc., filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 petition against the company on June 11, 2002.  On
June 11, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Agreed Order and
Stipulation which converted the case to a chapter 11 proceeding.
During the second year of the bankruptcy case, the former sole
shareholder, William Maloof began to make allegations of fraud.
Prof. Ray Warner was appointed as examiner on April 30, 2003.  On
June 6, 2003, the Examiner filed his report with the Court, and
concluded that the evidence did not support the allegations of
misconduct on the part of Debtors' attorneys, Benesch Friedlander
Coplan & Aronoff.  On July 2, 2003, the Debtors' propane
distribution business was sold as a going concern.  On January 21,
2004, the Debtors' parking lot business was sold as a going
concern.


LINCOLNSHIRE CAMPUS: Court Confirms 3rd Amended Joint Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Stacey G.C. Jernigan enters an order confirming
Lincolnshire Campus, LLC, et al.'s Third Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated
September 30, 2010.  The Court also approves the Disclosure
Statement explaining the Plan.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on October 7, 2010,
the Debtors sought confirmation of the Plan at a combined hearing
slated for November 10, 2010.  The Court has conditionally
approved the Disclosure Statement.  The order, however, reserves
the rights of all parties to raise objections to the adequacy in
the information in the Disclosure Statement.

According to the TCR, the latest iteration of the Plan provides
for the payment or full satisfaction of all secured tax claims,
senior mechanic's lien claims, administrative claims, and
unsecured priority claims.  The Plan also provides that the
holders of secured claims will receive cash equal to their pro
rata share of the cash proceeds after the payment of
administrative claims, senior mechanic's lien claims, and the
costs for administering the Plan.  Holders of unsecured claims
will be entitled to receive cash from fund available after payment
of all senior claims.  The Debtors expect that unsecured
creditors, with claims expected to aggregate $500,000, won't get
anything.  Holders of subordinated claims and equity interests
also won't receive any distributions.

Impaired creditors -- other than those receiving no distributions
-- are entitled to vote on the Plan.  Unsecured creditors and
equity holders are deemed to reject the Plan.

A copy of Judge Jernigan's Amended Findings of Fact, Conclusions
of Law, and Order (I) Approving the Debtors' Disclosure Statement
and (II) Confirming the Debtors' Third Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated
November 16, 2010, is available at http://is.gd/hl69pfrom

LOCAL INSIGHT: Files for Chapter 11 in Delaware
-----------------------------------------------
Local Insight Media Holdings, Inc. and certain of its domestic
subsidiaries, including Local Insight Regatta Holdings, Inc. and
The Berry Company LLC filed voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 10-13677).

"After a careful and thorough analysis, we determined that a
reorganization is the best alternative to strengthen our balance
sheet, position us for the future and enable us to better serve
our customers," said Scott A. Pomeroy, president and chief
executive officer of LIMH.  "We expect to emerge with a rational
and sustainable capital structure, which supports our strong
strategic approach and business transformation."

The Company expects to operate its business as usual throughout
the reorganization process, with no interruption in service to
customers.

In addition, the Company has secured commitments for a $25 million
debtor-in-possession financing facility from J.P. Morgan Chase and
GSO Capital Partners LP.  The DIP facility, upon its approval by
the Bankruptcy Court, will provide an immediate source of funds to
enable the Company to meet their business obligations during the
reorganization process.  The DIP facility will mature one year
after the closing date.

                        First Day Motions

The Company has also filed a number of customary first day motions
with the bankruptcy court so it can continue to operate its
business in the normal course while it completes the
reorganization.  These include motions providing for employees to
continue to receive compensation and benefits as usual and to
maintain its client programs.

A hearing to consider First Day Motions will take place on
November 19, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time), before
the Honorable Kevin Gross at the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware, located at 824 North Market Street,
6th Floor, Courtroom No. 3, in Wilmington, Delaware.

                        Road to Bankruptcy

Richard C. Jenkins, interim chief financial officer of Local
Insight, said, "The recent economic recession and dislocation of
credit markets have caused a decline in the Debtors' print
advertising sales -- the principal source of the Debtors' revenue.
According to published industry sources, the print advertising
market declined by 20% during the worst phase of the economic
downturn.  As a result, total revenue for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $131,570,000 and
$266,142,000 respectively, representing a respective decrease in
total revenue of approximately 9.3% and 8.3% from the same periods
for the previous year."

Mr. Jenkins relates that although the Debtors have implemented
various cost-cutting and operational restructuring initiatives,
these initiatives have not been sufficient to offset declining
revenues.

The initiatives included several rounds of reductions in the
Debtors' workforce (primarily in the areas of operations, sales
and field marketing, information technology, and marketing) and a
cessation of operations at the Debtors' facilities located in
Matthews, North Carolina, effective March 31, 2010, and Erie,
Pennsylvania, effective December 31, 2010.

Trustee appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as
practicable.  The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons,
willing to serve, that hold the seven largest unsecured claims
against the debtor of the kinds represented on the committee.

may consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its
business operations and participate in the formulation of a plan
of reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services
as are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Gets OK of Deal to Give Up Office Space
------------------------------------------------------------
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and its affiliates received court
approval of an agreement that would allow them to cut back on
their use of office space.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. hammered out the deal with
Constellation Place LLC in connection with their lease contract
dated November 27, 2000.   The contract allows MGM Studios to
lease about 341,633 square feet of space in an office building in
California, which it uses for its headquarters.

The deal permits MGM Studios to give up about 75,000 square feet
of the leased space and to scrub more unneeded space upon notice
by Constellation Place.

In exchange, Constellation Place will have an unsecured claim
against MGM Studios of $83.43 per square foot or approximately
$6,257,250 for the 75,000 square feet of office space returned.

Upon court approval of the deal, MGM Studios will have 12 months
following the effective date of its restructuring plan to decide
whether to assume or reject the lease contract for the remaining
office space.  The Company will not be allowed to seek a court
order rejecting or terminating the contract that will be
effective prior to the date that is seven months after its
bankruptcy filing.

In case the lease for the remaining space is rejected,
Constellation Place will have an allowed claim of $28,501,139
against MGM Studios, according to the terms of the deal.

The deal also permits Constellation Place to offset a portion of
the $19,552,841 security deposit it is holding against its claims
for rejection damages.  If the total rejection damages exceed the
amount of the security deposit, Constellation Place will have an
allowed unsecured claim for the deficiency.

"The agreement will permit MGM Studios to immediately save
approximately $375,000 in monthly rent, which savings may
increase to approximately $500,000 per month if additional space
is designated for rejection by the landlord as permitted under
the agreement," says MGM Studios' lawyer, Jay Goffman, Esq., at
Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, in New York.

The deal is formalized in a 12-page agreement, a copy of which is

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Gets OK for Ernst & Young as Tax Advisor
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Stuart Bernstein authorized Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.
and its units to employ Ernst & Young LLP as their auditor and tax
advisor effective November 3, 2010.

Judge Bernstein ruled that the limitation of liability provided
in the master tax services agreement between the Debtors and
Ernst & Young will not apply with respect to any liability
determined by a final, non-appealable order to have resulted from
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In response to the U.S Trustee's objection, Judge Bernstein ruled
that Ernst & Young LLP will not be entitled to counsel fees for
employment and fee application charges; and will not subcontract
services provided to the Debtors without further court order.

Ernst & Young was ordered to provide notice of any increases in
its hourly rates to the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee and to the
Court.

Ernst & Young will be tasked to provide these services:

(1) auditing and reporting on financial statements of MGM
    Holdings Inc. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. as of March 31,
    2010;

(2) routine tax advice and assistance as requested when these
    projects are not covered by a separate statement of work,
    do not involve any significant tax planning and are
    expected, at their outset, to involve total professional
    time not to exceed $10,000;

(3) assisting the Debtors in developing an understanding
    of the tax issues and options related to their bankruptcy
    filing, taking into account their specific facts and
    circumstances, for U.S. federal and state tax purposes and
    assisting them in general tax matters; and

(4) providing assistance with respect to tax returns and
    various other tax matters.

For its auditing services, Ernst & Young will be paid at these
hourly rates:

    Professionals                         Hourly Rates
    -------------                         ------------
    National Partner/Principal/            $610 - $980
     Executive Director
    Principal/Partner/Executive Director   $580 - $760
    Senior Manager                         $525 - $665
    Manager                                $452 - $574
    Senior                                 $301 - $445
    Staff                                  $207 - $280

Meanwhile, the firm will receive payment for its routine on-call
and tax advisory services at these hourly rates:

    Professionals                         Hourly Rates
    -------------                         ------------
    National Partner/Principal/            $610 - $760

    Senior                                 $335 - $430
    Staff                                  $125 - $220

The Debtors agree to pay Ernst & Young for its tax outsourcing
services at these rates:

    Professionals                         Hourly Rates
    -------------                         ------------
    National Partner/Principal/            $610 - $760
     Executive Director

    Senior                                 $260 - $335
    Staff                                   $95 - $175

The Debtors also agree to reimburse Ernst & Young for its
expenses.

Marc Warshal, a partner at Ernst & Young LLP, assures the Court
that his firm does not hold or represent any interest adverse to
the Debtors.

MOMENTA INC: In Ch. 11 to Preserve Assets from Lawsuit
------------------------------------------------------
Meg Heckman at Concord Monitor reports that Momenta Inc., formerly
known as American Traditional Designs, resorted to Chapter 11
protection after losing a contract with Walmart, the Company's
largest client, which provided about 30% of the company's revenue.

Formerly known as American Traditional Designs, Momenta is a
scrapbook company based in Northwood, New Hampshire.  It makes
about $7.5 million a year.  Its products include paper craft
supplies, stickers, stencils, albums, templates for digital
scrapbook designs and stationery.

The Company, according to Concord Monitor, also said it filed for
bankruptcy due to a lawsuit on a freight bill.  It said it sought
bankruptcy protection to preserve its assets during a contested
matter which has temporarily impaired its ability to collect
revenue.

The report relates that in June, an Illinois court ruled that
Momenta owed $160,000 to R.I.M. Logistics, an Illinois-based
company that provides warehouse and freight services.  The judge
ordered one of Momenta's customers to send payment to R.I.M.
instead of Momenta.  Sovereign Bank argued that it was also
entitled to payment, and the money was held in escrow by the
Illinois court.

The Company owes $1.8 million in loans to Sovereign Bank and an
additional $250,000 to the U.S. Small Business Administration for
loans made prepetition.

Based in Northwood, New Hampshire, Momenta Inc. filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 23, 2010 (Bankr. D. N.H. Case No.
10-14548).  Charles R. Bennett, Jr., Esq., Hanify & King,
represents the Debtor.  The Debtor estimated assets and debts
between $1 million and $10 million in its petition.

According to Concord Monitor, the bankruptcy judge has made a few
preliminary rulings, and hearings on the case will begin later
this month.


MSGI SECURITY: Delays Filing of Form 10-Q for Third Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------
MSGI Security Solutions Inc. said it could not file its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2010, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission because the compilation,
dissemination and review of the information required to be
presented in the report cannot be completed by November 15, 2010.

                        About MSGI Security

MSGI Security Solutions, Inc. (Other OTC: MSGI) --

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2010, showed $2.1 million
in total assets, $20.3 million in liabilities, and a stockholders'
deficit of $18.2 million.

Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLP, in Edison, New Jersey, expressed
substantial doubt about MSGI Security Solutions, Inc.'s ability to
continue as a going concern after auditing the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30,
2009, and 2008.  The auditing firm reported that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations, and negative cash flows
from operations, and has a substantial amount of notes payable due
on demand or within the next 12 months and has very limited
capital resources.


MURRAY ENERGY: Moody's Upgrades Corp. Family Rating to 'B3'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Murray Energy Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default Rating to B3
from Caa1, and the rating on the existing $540 million senior
secured notes due 2015 to B2 from Caa1.  Moody's also assigned a
Caa2 rating to the proposed $150 million senior unsecured notes
due 2017.  The rating outlook is stable.  The company intends to
use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on
hand, to fund capital expenditures.

                        Ratings Rationale

The rating upgrades reflect Moody's expectations that intermediate
term expansion projects at Murray's existing mines - including a
new longwall in Northern Appalachia and upgrades to existing
longwall equipment -- could improve its assets, materially reduce
unit costs, and improve longer-term ability to generate EBITDA and
cash flow.  Moody's also believes that improved coal fundamentals
have afforded Murray the ability to better its overall contracted
position at relatively favorable prices.  Additionally, Moody's
expects the company's Northern Appalachian mines to benefit from
longer-term secular production declines in Central Appalachia
caused by depletion, permitting issues, higher costs, and
increased sulfur scrubbing capacity at coal-powered power plants.

The B3 CFR also reflects high debt leverage, reliance on a few key
coal mines, operating and geologic risk, and the absence of
committed revolving credit.  The ratings are supported by long-
standing relationships with highly rated utilities, long-term
sales contracts, low-cost longwall mining methods, freight
advantages associated with water-based transportation and
proximity to customers, and a largely union-free workforce.

In addition, Moody's expects that Murray would maintain good
short term liquidity in part because the net proceeds of roughly
$145 million from the proposed notes issuance will bolster the
company's $165 million unrestricted cash balance (reported at
September 30, 2010).  Free cash flow generation has been very
modestly positive through the first half of 2010 but Moody's
believes it would be negative over the near-term as Murray funds
its sizeable growth capital spending.  Moody's notes that a
material portion of Murray's meaningful cash generation in 2009
resulted from favorable customer price adjustments that ended on
December 31, 2009.

Moody's also upgraded to B2 from Caa1 the existing $540 million
second priority senior secured notes to reflect the advantaged
position in the capital structure in accordance with Moody's loss-
given default methodology.  Moody's expect existing secured
noteholders to benefit from the improved asset base and increased
coal production funded with the proceeds from contractually junior
proposed unsecured notes.

The stable rating outlook reflects Murray's highly contracted
sales position for the remainder of 2010 and 2011 and good
liquidity to support operations over the near-term.  The outlook
also anticipates that Murray will meet production and tonnage sold
targets, and make planned progress towards completing its
expansion and upgrade projects.

Moody's could consider a positive action if there is permanent
reduction of debt.  In addition, the rating or outlook could be
favorably impacted should the company demonstrate sustainable
improvement in production levels and price per ton realizations
while maintaining a favorable cost position.

However, Moody's could downgrade the rating if (i) liquidity
deteriorates meaningfully, (ii) Moody's do not expect funds from
operations to cover maintenance capital expenditures for a
sustainable period, (iii) Murray pursues further leveraging
transactions, (iv) there are adverse developments in the thermal
coal market without adequately priced contracts for the majority
of near-term coal production, or (v) the company faces significant
operational issues.

This summarizes Moody's rating actions:

Murray Energy Corporation

Ratings assigned:

* $150 million proposed senior unsecured notes due 2017 -- Caa2
  (LGD5, 87%)

Ratings upgraded:

* Corporate family rating -- to B3 from Caa1

* Probability of default rating -- to B3 from Caa1

* 10.25% $540 million second lien senior secured notes due 2015 --
  to B2 (LGD3, 35%) from Caa1

* Outlook remains stable.

Murray Energy Corporation is a privately owned coal mining company
which produced approximately 23 million tons in 2009.  The company
controls approximately 900 million tons of assigned and unassigned
reserves in the Northern Appalachia, Illinois, and Uinta basins.
Revenues for LTM period ended September 30, 2010, were $1 billion.


MURRAY ENERGY: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Pepper Pike, Ohio-based Murray Energy Corp.  The
rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'CCC+' (two notches below the
corporate credit rating) issue-level rating to the company's
proposed $150 million senior notes due 2017.  S&P also affirmed
the 'B+' (one notch above the corporate credit rating) issue-level
rating on the company's senior secured second-lien notes due 2015.
The recovery rating remains '2', indicating S&P's expectation of
substantial (70%-90%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a
payment default.

Proceeds from the proposed note offering are expected to be used
for general corporate purposes, including the expansion of
production and preparation plant processing capacity at certain
mining operations.

"The affirmation of the corporate credit rating reflects what S&P
considers to be the combination of the company's vulnerable
business risk profile and aggressive financial risk profile," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Maurice Austin.

The ratings also reflect its relatively small size, lack of
operating diversity, customer concentration, and high debt levels.
Still, the company maintains a relatively favorable cost profile,
benefits from long-term contracts, and is expected to maintain
adequate liquidity.

NORTEL NETWORKS: Posts $649 Million Net Loss in Q3 2010
-------------------------------------------------------
Nortel Networks Corporation filed its quarterly report on Form
10-Q, reporting a net loss (attributable to Nortel Networks
Corporation) of $649 million on $85 million of revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net loss
(attributable to Nortel Networks Corporation) of $508 million on
$942 million of revenue for the same period last year.

The decreases in revenues for the third quarter of 2010 as
compared to the third quarter of 2009 were primarily attributable
to the divestitures of the CDMA/LTE Access business in the fourth
quarter of 2009, the divestitures of the Optical Networking and
Carrier Ethernet and GSM/GSM-R businesses in the first quarter of
2010 and the divestiture of the CVAS business in the second
quarter of 2010.

Reorganization items for the three months ended September 30,
2010, and 2009, were $529 million and $224 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
balance was $1.686 billion, compared to $1.998 billion as of
December 31, 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$5.950 billion in total assets, $9.995 billion in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $4.045 billion.

On July 12, 2010, the U.S. Debtors filed their proposed plan of
reorganization under Chapter 11 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware.  Pursuant to the Plan, each U.S. Debtor
will either be reorganized to the extent the U.S. Debtors
determine it is necessary or beneficial to do so for the purpose
of fulfilling its obligations under the asset sale agreements and
transition services agreements ("TSAs"), selling or otherwise
disposing of its assets and fulfilling its obligations under the
Plan, or will be liquidated.  The U.S. Debtors filed a proposed
disclosure statement for the Plan with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
on September 3, 2010.

                      About Nortel Networks

Mississauga, Ontario-based Nortel Networks Corporation (OTC BB:
NRTLQ) -- http://www.nortel.com/-- was, prior to its significant
business divestitures, a global supplier of end-to-end networking
products and solutions serving both service providers and
enterprise customers.  Nortel is currently focused on the
remaining work under the Creditor Protection Proceedings,
including the sale of the remaining businesses, providing
transitional services to the purchasers of Nortel's businesses and
ongoing restructuring matters.

Nortel Networks Limited ("NNL") is Nortel's principal direct
operating subsidiary and its results are consolidated into
Nortel's results.  Nortel holds all of NNL's outstanding common
shares but none of its outstanding preferred shares.  NNL's
preferred shares are reported in noncontrolling interests in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel, NNL and certain other Canadian
subsidiaries obtained an initial order from the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice ("Canadian Court") for credit protection for 30
days, pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, which
has since been extended to February 28, 2011, and is subject to
further extension by the Canadian Court.  Pursuant to the Initial
Order, the Canadian Debtors received approval to continue to
undertake various actions in the normal course in order to
maintain stable and continuing operations during the CCAA
Proceedings.  The CCAA Proceedings have been recognized by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware as "foreign
proceedings" pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, giving effect in the U.S. to the stay granted by
the Canadian Court.  A cross-border court-to-court protocol (as
amended) has also been approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and
the Canadian Court.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Inc. ("NNI"), Nortel Networks
Capital Corporation ("NNCC") and certain other of Nortel's U.S.
subsidiaries ("U.S. Debtors"), other than Nortel Networks (CALA)
Inc. ("NNCI"), filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Lead Case No.
09-10138).  On July 14, 2009, NNCI, a U.S. based subsidiary that
operates in the CALA region, also filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Court and thereby became one
of the U.S. Debtors subject to the Chapter 11 Proceedings,
although the petition date for NNCI is July 14, 2009.  On July 17,
2009, the U.S. Court entered an order of joint administration that
provided for the joint administration, for procedural purposes
only, of NNCI's case with the pre-existing cases of the other U.S.
Debtors.

Also on the Petition Date, certain of Nortel's Europe, the Middle
East and Africa ("EMEA") subsidiaries ("EMEA Debtors") made
consequential filings and each obtained an administration order
from the High Court of England and Wales ("English Court") under
the Insolvency Act 1986 ("U.K. Administration Proceedings").  The
U.K. Administration Proceedings currently extend to January 13,
2012, subject to further extension.  All of Nortel's operating
EMEA subsidiaries except those in the following countries are
included in the U.K. Administration Proceedings: Nigeria, Russia,
Ukraine, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa and Turkey.

The U.K. Administration Proceedings have been recognized by the
U.S. Court as "foreign main proceedings" pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving
effect in the U.S. to the moratorium provided by the Insolvency
Act 1986.

Certain of Nortel's Israeli subsidiaries ("Israeli Debtors")
commenced separate creditor protection proceedings in Israel
("Israeli Administration Proceedings").  On January 19, 2009, an
Israeli court appointed administrators over the Israeli Debtors.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of the U.K. Administrators of
NNSA, the Commercial Court of Versailles, France ("French Court")
ordered the commencement of secondary proceedings in respect of
Nortel Networks S.A. ("NNSA") ("French Secondary Proceedings").
The French Secondary Proceedings consist of liquidation
proceedings during which NNSA is no longer authorized to continue
its business operations.

The CCAA Proceedings, the Chapter 11 Proceedings, the U.K.
Administration Proceeding, the Israeli Administration Proceedings
and the French Secondary Proceedings are together referred to as
the "Creditor Protection Proceedings".


NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL: S&P Gives Positive Outlook on Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook to
positive from stable and affirmed its 'BB' long-term rating and
'BB' underlying rating on North Carolina Medical Care Commission's
bonds, issued for Maria Parham Medical Center.

The outlook revision reflects Standard & Poor's view of MPMC's
improved financial profile in fiscals 2009 and 2010 coupled with
some solid balance sheet metrics, particularly liquidity, that are
more in line with a higher rating.  However, tempering the
improved financial profile, in Standard & Poor's opinion, is
recent softness in inpatient volumes and a weak local economy
contributing to high bad debt expenses and a growing mix of
Medicaid and self-pay patients.  Future rating action will hinge
on MPMC's ability to sustain the improved operating results over
the next one to two years, stabilize or improve business volume,
and further strengthen the balance sheet.

"The positive outlook reflects S&P's belief that the rating has
upward potential if MPMC is able to establish a sustainable trend
of positive operating performance over the next two to three years
as demonstrated in audited financial results, restore inpatient
volume growth, continue generating favorable cash flows, and
achieve stronger balance sheet metrics such as long-term debt to
capitalization that are more commensurate with a higher rated
entity," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Shivani Singh.
"S&P also expects that operational improvements will continue
through fiscal 2011 primarily due to reimbursement increases under
the recently received Medicare Dependent Hospital status," said
Ms. Singh.

Should MPMC's operating performance deteriorate, the
organization's balance sheet strength gets diluted or patient
volumes decline further, Standard & Poor's could consider an
outlook revision or a downgrade.

As of Sept. 30, 2010, MPMC had $46.3 million of long-term debt.

Maria Parham Medical Center is a 102-bed general acute-care
hospital located in Henderson, N.C., about 40 miles from the
Research Triangle Park area in the Chapel Hill-Raleigh-Durham
metropolitan statistical area.  The medical center primarily
serves a four-county region and is the sole provider within Vance
County, capturing about 58% primary market share.


NORTHERN TIER: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Ridgefield, Conn.-based oil refiner Northern Tier
Energy LLC.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned a 'BB-' issue-level rating and '2'
recovery rating to the company's proposed $290 million senior
secured notes due 2017.  The '2' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation of substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

"The ratings on Northern Tier Energy reflect the company's
vulnerable business risk profile and aggressive financial risk
profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sherwin Brandford.
S&P's assessment of the company's business risk profile hinges on
its lack of operating diversity, high fixed costs, exposure to
volatile commodity prices, and volatile margins.  S&P deems the
financial risk profile as aggressive given the company's capital
structure in light of the vulnerability of the business.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that debt leverage
will remain below 4x (excluding the $80 million preferred) through
2011 and liquidity will remain adequate.  S&P believes this level
of credit metrics is appropriate for the 'B+' rating given the
company's vulnerable business risk profile.  S&P may lower the
rating if operating performance declines meaningfully from current
levels, resulting in debt leverage exceeding 4x (excluding the
$80 million preferred) for more than one quarter.  This could
occur if refinery margins decline further than expected as a
result of higher crude costs, a sharp decline in the refinery's
positive margin differential, lower refined product prices, or
some combination of the three.  A positive rating action is not
likely in the near term given the company's vulnerable business
risk profile.


OLD TIME POTTERY: Shutting Down Memphis Store in Late December
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lindsay Jones at the Commercial Appeal reports that Old Time
Pottery is shutting down its only Memphis store in late December
2010.  A person with knowledge of the closing said the move
doesn't signal a permanent exit from the Memphis retail market,
merely a departure from the current location.  The closure will
affect 48 local jobs.

As reported in the TCR on June 16, Old Time Pottery received
confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan where SunTrust Bank, the secured
lender owed $15 million at the outset of bankruptcy, will have the
remainder of its claim paid with a new $20 million revolving
credit from FirstMerit Bank NA from Cincinnati.  SunTrust's loan
was paid down in part with proceeds from inventory in the stores
that closed.  Unsecured creditors, who were listed as having $23
million in claims, will receive payment of 75% of their approved
claims when the plan is implemented.  The remaining 25%, plus
interest on the deferred portion, will be paid by Dec. 25, 2010.

Old Time Pottery is a home decor retailer.  It filed for Chapter
11 with 37 stores.  Eight were closed.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 on Aug. 21, 2009 (Bankr. M.D.
Tenn. Case No. 09-09548).  G. Rhea Bucy, Esq., Linda W. Knight,
Esq., and Thomas H. Forrester, Esq. at Gullett, Sanford, Robinson,
Martin represent the Debtor in its restructuring efforts.  In its
petition, the Debtor listed $50,000,001 to $100,000,000 in assets
and $10,000,001 to $50,000,000 in debts.


OP-TECH ENVIRONMENTAL: Earns $588,300 in September 30 Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
OP-TECH Environmental Services, Inc., filed its quarterly report
on Form 10-Q, reporting net income of $558,266 on $10.7 million
of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared
with a net loss of $360,434 on $9.6 million of revenue for the
same period last year.

Net income before income taxes for the quarter ended September 30,
2010, was $343,266 compared to a net loss before income taxes of
$590,434 for same period in 2009.  The net income before income
taxes is primarily a result of increased project volume with a
reduction in operating costs.

The Company's line of credit expired August 31, 2010, and has not
been extended.  The Company is currently negotiating an extension
to March 31, 2011.  The expired agreement required that the
Company seek replacement financing by August 31, 2010, and
required a $500,000 infusion of new capital by July 31, 2010.  The
Company secured new capital of $1,332,000 on August 31, 2010, in
the form of convertible notes.

"However, the Company still has substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern due to the working capital
shortage and cash flow strains related to restrictions related to
the expired bank financing agreement."

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$18.2 million in total assets, $15.5 million in total liabilities,
and stockholders' equity of $2.7 million.

Dannible & McKee, LLP, in Syracuse, New York, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, following the Company's 2009 results.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company experienced a net loss
for the year ended December 31, 2009, that resulted in negative
working capital at December 31, 2009, and caused violations of the
Company's financing agreements.

ORLEANS HOMEBUILDERS: Wins Nod to Enter Into $155-Mil. Exit Loans
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Orleans Homebuilders Inc. secured permission to tap a $155 million
financing package as it looks to make its way out of bankruptcy
protection, Dow Jones; Small Cap reports.

According to the report, Judge Peter J. Walsh of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., cleared Orleans to enter
into the financing deal, which will equip the company with two
loans intended to fund its exit from Chapter 11.

The report notes J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Chase
Bank are offering up the $125 million term-loan facility and $30
million revolving-loan facility, proceeds of which will be used to
repay Orleans's bankruptcy loan, fund a $6 million pool for
unsecured creditors and provide the company with working capital.

The approval from Walsh marks an important win for Orleans days
before it is to seek confirmation of its Chapter 11 reorganization
plan, the report says.

Dow Jones' adds that that the plan, up for Walsh's approval at a
hearing Nov. 24, would slash Orleans's debt to under $200 million,
down from more than $400 million in debt as of its bankruptcy
petition.

OXBOW CARBON: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Ba3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the ratings of Oxbow Carbon
LLC, including the company's corporate family rating to Ba3 from
B1, its probability of default rating to Ba3 from B1, the rating
on its $350 million senior secured revolver to Ba3 from B1, and
the rating on its senior secured term loan to Ba3 from B1.  The
rating outlook is stable.

                        Ratings Rationale

The upgrade to Ba3 recognizes the progress Oxbow has made in
reducing debt and expanding EBITDA over the last several years,
which has led to a greatly improved leverage profile.  The upgrade
also recognizes the free cash flow generating capability of the
company, even during a period of reduced production levels in the
global aluminum industry, which impacted the calcined petroleum
coke segment of the business.

Oxbow's corporate family rating reflects the inherent volatility
of the fuel grade petcoke, calcined petroleum coke (CPC), and
aluminum markets.  However, Oxbow tends to exhibit relatively
stable operating margins given that the operating construct of
earnings is generally based on a net spread.  Moody's also
consider the operational risks inherent to Oxbow's single coal
mining site in Colorado.

Although Moody's view the CPC business, where the company enjoys a
leading global market position, as an important contributor to
earnings, the diversity provided by its three primary business
legs, which in addition to CPC include coal mining and
distribution of fuel grade petcoke and coal, add an additional
level of stability to the credit profile.  Strong performance in
both the coal segment, given its contract nature, and the
distribution business in 2009 mitigated the sharp contraction in
CPC as volumes declined in line with lower production levels in
the aluminum industry.  However, this segment remained profitable
given its margin on metal construct, which can limit the degree of
deterioration on the downside.  The company's broad marketing base
and coal operations should support performance as the CPC business
continues to improve in 2011.

Despite a weak operating environment in 2009, the company remained
free cash flow generative, continued to reduce debt and maintained
sound coverage ratios.  As such, leverage, as measured by the
debt/EBITDA ratio, which approached 6x following the 2007
acquisition of GLC Carbon USA, Inc., has improved meaningfully to
just under 2x at September 30, 2010 (using Moody's standard
adjustments), giving the company cushion at its new rating level.

Oxbow's stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the
company will continue to generate solid earnings and positive cash
flow over the next 12 to 18 months, driven by strong fundamentals
in its CPC, coal, and distribution segments.

Going forward, the ratings and/or outlook could be raised if the
company continues to generate solid earnings and free cash flow
such that leverage continues at less than 2.0x on a sustainable
basis and EBITDA margins improved to greater than 15%, all while
maintaining a comfortable liquidity profile.

The ratings and/or outlook could be lowered if leverage increased
to greater than 3.5x, EBITDA margins decreased to less than 10%,
or free cash flow turned negative.

PERRY COUNTY: Perry Uniontown Taps Hartman Simons as Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------
Perry Uniontown Ventures I, LLC, et al., ask for authorization
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Alabama to employ Hartman Simons & Wood, LLP, as counsel, nunc pro
tunc to the Petition Date.

Hartman Simons will provide legal services from the date of the
bankruptcy petition through the present and through the remainder
of the bankruptcy proceeding.  Perry Uniontown requires services
to locate and identify sources of disposable waste for its
Arrowhead Landfill.

Perry Uniontown didn't disclose how Hartman Simons will be
compensated.

To the best of Perry Uniontown's knowledge, Hartman Simons is a
"disinterested person" as that term defined in Section 101(14) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

Atlanta, Georgia-based Perry County Associates, LLC, owns and
operates the Arrowhead Landfill in Uniontown, Alabama (Perry
County).  It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
January 26, 2010 (Bankr. S.D. Ala. Case No. 10-00277).  Jeffery J.
Hartley, Esq., at Helmsing, Leach, Herlon, Newman & Rouse, assists
the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  The Company disclosed $0
in assets and $10,793 in liabilities.

disclosed $15,009,538 in assets and $67,489,007 in liabilities.


PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT: S&P Cuts Rating on $203 Mil. Notes to 'B-'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Petroleum
Development Corp.'s $203 million senior unsecured notes due 2018
to 'B-' from 'B' and revised the recovery rating on this debt to
'5' from '3'.  The '5' recovery rating indicates the expectation
of modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The company's 'B' corporate credit rating remains the same.

"The ratings downgrade and revision of the recovery ratings
follows the company's closing of a $100 million in senior
unsecured convertible notes issuance along with a like amount of
equity in order to pre-fund capital and acquisition spending,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sherwin Brandford.  S&P has
applied its updated recovery criteria for exploration and
production companies in its valuation assessment of the company.

PIYUSH PATEL: Wyo. Court Rules on Validity of Security Interest
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of Wyoming rules that a security interest in
corporate stock is perfected, pursuant to Wyo. Stat. Ann. Sec.
1-19-103, where service of a writ of execution is made on the
corporation's registered agent because a corporate officer is not
present when service is attempted.  However, a security interest
in corporate stock is not perfected, pursuant to Wyo. Stat. Ann.
Sec. 1-19-103, where service of a writ of execution is made on a
law partner of the corporation's registered agent.

CWCapital Asset Management, LLC received a money judgment against
Piyush Patel.  Mr. Patel owned 100% of the stock of P&P, Inc., and
50% of the stock of PJP Enterprises, Inc., and was the president
of both corporations.  CWCapital had the sheriff attempt to serve
two writs of execution on Mr. Patel, as the corporations'
president, to levy against his shares of stock in both
corporations to satisfy the money judgment.  Mr. Patel was neither
at his business office nor his home when service was attempted, so
the sheriff served both writs on Timothy Kingston, who was the
registered agent for service of process for PJP Enterprises, Inc.
At the time process was served on Kingston, he was the law partner
of Charles Graves, who was the registered agent for P&P, Inc.

In March 2009, Mr. Patel filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which was
later converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation and a trustee was
appointed.  After CWCapital objected to Mr. Patel's use of cash
collateral, the trustee filed an adversary proceeding requesting
that the bankruptcy court find that CWCapital had failed to
perfect its interest in the stock from either corporation.  That
filing led to the Wyoming Supreme Court's certification.

The case is Tracy Zubrod, v. CWCapital Asset Management, LLC, case
no. S-10-0075 (Wyo. Sup. Ct.), and a copy of the High Court's
ruling dated November 16, 2010, is available at http://is.gd/hl7vi

PLY GEM: Posts $6.39 Million Net Loss in Oct. 2 Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------
Ply Gem Holdings Inc. reported a net loss of $6.39 million on
$269.54 million of net sales for the three months ended Oct. 2,
2010, compared with net income of $4.38 million on $293.46 million
of net sales for the three months ended Oct. 3, 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 2, 2010, showed
$978.60 million in total assets, $167.11 million in total current
liabilities, $1.99 million in deferred income taxes,
$59.66 million in other long-term liabilities, $903.35 million in
long-term debt, and a stockholders' deficit of $153.52 million.

"The third quarter of 2010 saw a decline in single family housing
starts of 13.5% primarily driven by the federal home buyer tax
credit, which expired on April 30th of this year, thus having the
effect of pulling market demand forward into the first half of the
year," said Gary E. Robinette, President and CEO of Ply Gem.

"As a result of the decline in building and remodeling activity,
our sales for the third quarter were down just 8.2% which we
believe is comparable to the industry.  With the volatility in
market demand that occurred following the expiration of the
federal home buyer tax credit program, it is our view that the
most meaningful evaluation of Ply Gem's year-over-year performance
is to look at our results for the first nine months of the year.
Given the continued depressed state of the U.S. economy and its
impact on a future recovery in the housing market, Ply Gem will
continue its focus on maintaining a lean overall cost structure
while maximizing cash flow and striving to outperform the
marketplace in all business units, which will ensure that Ply Gem
emerges stronger as the general economy and housing market
recover," concluded Mr. Robinette.

Based in Cary, North Carolina, Ply Gem Holdings Inc. is a
diversified manufacturer of residential and commercial building
products, which are sold primarily in the United States and
Canada, and include a wide variety of products for the residential
and commercial construction, the do-it-yourself and the
professional remodeling and renovation markets.

In May 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
(unsolicited) corporate credit rating on Ply Gem to 'B-' from
'CCC+'.  "The ratings upgrade reflects our expectation that the
company's credit measures are likely to improve modestly over the
next several quarters to levels that we would consider more in
line with the 'B-' corporate credit rating," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Tobias Crabtree.

In January 2010, Moody's Investors Service upgraded Ply Gem's
Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from Caa2 and its Probability of
Default Rating to Caa1 from Caa2 and affirmed the senior secured
notes due 2013 at Caa1.  The upgrade of Ply Gem's corporate family
rating resulted from the recent announcement that CI Capital
Partners LLC, Ply Gem's indirect principal shareholder, through a
series of transactions is transferring $257.3 million of 9.0%
senior subordinated notes due 2012 that it owns to Ply Gem for no
consideration as a capital contribution.  Moody's also noted Ply
Gem is also refinancing the balance of the 9.0% senior
subordinated notes due 2012 with new senior subordinated notes due
2014.

PRIME STAR: Indiana Court Dismisses $33.9 Million Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------
Prime Star Group Inc. announced that the $33.9 million lawsuit
claim that was pending against them in Federal District court of
the Northern District of Indiana filed by Michiana Dairy
Processors has been dismissed.  The Court granted PSGI Motion for
Summary Judgment, dismissing all claims against PSGI and all other
Defendants.

Roger Mohlman, Prime Star CEO, stated, "We have won a complete
summary judgment.  This victory will take an enormous burden off
of our company and will allow us to resume our business without
the distraction and huge legal expenses incurred.  With the years
of litigation and the rumors and innuendo surrounding this lawsuit
now behind us, it is great to be finally and completely
vindicated.  Removing this $33.9 million contingent liability is
another huge step forward for Prime Star and its shareholders.  We
are so happy to have this meritless case behind us so we can now
fully concentrate on utilizing all our time and energy into the
growth of the company."

"We are extremely proud of the work that Lyle Hardman of Hunt,
Suedhoff and Kalamaros did in helping us to get this lawsuit
dismissed.  He clearly and concisely stated the facts of the case
and the law, which led to the court ruling in our favor.  Lyle is
an outstanding attorney and we cannot thank him enough.  He,
Jennifer Worth, Tom Hamilton and Ivan Schwartz took the time to
really learn the background and the issues of the claims against
us and then used the relevant law to show these claims to be
unfounded," Mr. Mohlman said.

"This case had languished in state court for over five years.
Hunt, Suedhoff and Kalamaros came on board in March 2010 and took
over the bulk of the case.  Prime Star Group, and the other
defendants were the prevailing parties on summary judgment, and
all that is left pending is PSGI's claim for attorney's fees and a
pending motion for sanctions against opposing counsel," said Mr.

period from March 7, 1984 to June 11, 1985.

The Partnership will be dissolved only upon the expiration of 50

other events as specified in the Partnership agreement.  The
principal business of the Partnership is to invest, directly or

ROYAL CARIBBEAN: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Miami, Fla.-based Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. to 'BB'
from 'BB-'.  The rating outlook is stable.

In conjunction with the corporate credit rating change, S&P also
raised all of S&P's issue-level ratings on Royal's debt by one
notch.

"The ratings upgrade reflects S&P's view that Royal will likely
drive meaningful improvement in credit measures in 2011," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Emile Courtney.  "This is based
on S&P's expectation for a 4% to 5% increase in net yields next
year, a 15% to 20% increase in EBITDA, and a reduction in funded
debt levels owing to significantly lower capital expenditure
requirements and an expected use of free cash flow for debt
amortization payments totaling $1.2 billion in 2011.  S&P believes
this would drive total adjusted debt to EBITDA to around 5.5x and
funds from operations to total debt to around 15% by the end of
2011, both of which are measures in line with a 'BB' rating given
Royal's satisfactory business profile."

While S&P's current stable outlook on the 'BB' rating indicates
its belief that additional near-term rating upside is limited
(given that the upgrade reflects credit metric improvement
expected for the end of 2011), Royal has publicly stated its
aspiration for an investment-grade rating.  Toward this end, Royal
has set a financial policy strategy over the next several years of
driving down balance sheet leverage in order to achieve a higher
rating.  In S&P's view, an investment-grade rating for Royal is
likely several years away.  It would be preceded by an improvement
in total debt to EBITDA to below 3.75x and FFO to total debt to
higher than 25%, and S&P's comfort that the company could sustain
these levels during the next cyclical downturn.  S&P believes this
scenario would require Royal to maintain aggregate spending on the
company's ship building program in future periods and that any
potential reinstatement of its common dividend to be at levels
below expected operating cash flow, such that the company
generates a good level of positive discretionary cash flow after
these spending needs are satisfied.  This is the most likely way,
in S&P's view, that Royal can have the financial flexibility that
S&P believes is required to cope with the decline in cash flow and
limit the deterioration in credit metrics that are all but certain
in the next cyclical downturn.

The 'BB' rating on Royal reflects a high level of debt in the
capital structure, the capital-intensive nature of the cruise
industry, lack of flexibility with respect to committed ship
orders, and the sensitivity of the travel and leisure sector to
economic cycles.  Royal's solid brands, a relatively young and
high-quality fleet of ships, high barriers to entry in the cruise
industry, and an experienced management team somewhat offset these
factors.


SERVICE CORP: Moody's Assigns B1 Rating to $250 Million Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 to Service Corporation
International's proposed $250 million of senior notes, affirmed
the Ba3 Corporate Family Rating and SGL-2 speculative grade

be used to repay revolver borrowings and for general corporate
purposes.

Moody's assigned these ratings (assessments):

  -- $250 million senior unsecured notes due 2019, B1 (LGD 4, 61%)
  -- Senior unsecured shelf, (P)B1 (LGD 4, 61%)

Moody's affirmed these ratings (assessments revised):

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Ba3

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Ba3

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-2

                        Ratings Rationale

The Ba3 corporate family rating reflects the company's leading
market position and large portfolio of funeral and cemetery
properties, broad geographic diversification within North America,
solid financial strength metrics and stable cash flows supported
by a large backlog of preneed funeral and cemetery contracts.  The
ratings are constrained by weak funeral volume trends, a steady
increase in cremation rates, and the risk that a difficult
environment for consumer spending could depress pre-need sales.

"SCI has effectively integrated acquired companies over the last
few years and showed a commitment to maintaining conservative
financial policies," says Moody's Senior Vice President Lenny
Ajzenman.  "Financial performance has rebounded thus far in 2010
with solid growth in preneed funeral production and cemetery
revenues," adds Mr. Ajzenman.

The positive outlook anticipates modest revenue and profitability
growth in 2011 driven by the full year impact of acquisitions and
further growth in cemetery revenues.  The ratings could be
upgraded if SCI demonstrates a continued commitment to prudent
capital structure management and achieves top and bottom line
growth in 2011 despite likely pressure from lower funeral volumes.

The rating outlook could be changed to stable if the company fails
to demonstrate top and bottom line growth in 2011 or if financial
policies become more aggressive.  The ratings could be pressured
by a significant and sustained weakening of metrics resulting from
(i) a sharp drop in cemetery property sales, funeral volumes,
average revenue per funeral or trust income; (ii) an increase in
litigation exposure; or (iii) an increase in debt to fund a large
acquisition, share repurchase or dividend.  If Debt to EBITDA and
free cash flow to debt are expected to be sustained at over 5
times and less than 5%, a ratings downgrade is possible.

Service Corporation International is North America's largest
provider of deathcare products and services with revenues of about
$2.2 billion in the twelve month period ended September 30, 2010.
At September 30, 2010, the company operated a network of 1,405
funeral service locations and 382 cemeteries across the US,
Canada, and Puerto Rico.


SERVICE CORP: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating to $250 Mil. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned a 'BB-'
issue-level rating to Houston-based Service Corp. International's
proposed $250 million senior unsecured notes due in 2019.  S&P
also affirmed the 'BB' corporate credit rating.  The notes will be
substantially similar to the company's existing 8% senior
unsecured notes due in November 2021 and will rank equally to all
of the company's existing senior unsecured debt obligations.  S&P
expects the company to use the proceeds from the notes to pay down
its existing credit facility that is due in 2013 and build its
cash reserves.  SCI repurchased approximately $100 million of debt
in the third quarter 2010 and the proposed transaction will
improve its debt maturity profile.

S&P's rating on SCI reflects the company's industry-leading
position in deathcare services that is characterized by flat
demand and a rising consumer preference for lower cost services
that supports a fair business risk profile.  Lease-adjusted
leverage remains flat at around 4x and is still representative of
an aggressive financial risk profile.

S&P's stable rating outlook on SCI continues to reflect its view
that the company's growth will benefit from past acquisitions and
the company will generate significant free cash flow that will be
used for modest debt repayments, share repurchases and tuck-in
acquisitions.

SIMMONS FOODS: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Siloam Springs, Ark.-based Simmons Foods Inc.  At
the same time, S&P assigned a 'B-' issue-level rating (one notch
below the corporate credit rating) to Simmons Foods' $265 million
second-lien notes maturing 2017, with a recovery rating of '5',
indicating S&P's expectation for modest (10%-30%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.  The outlook is stable

The company intends to use debt proceeds totaling about
$400 million -- including an underwritten $100 million first-lien
term loan (not rated) maturing 2015, $40 million drawn on an
underwritten $125 million first-lien revolving credit facility
(not rated) maturing 2015, and the $265 million proposed second-
lien notes to purchase Menu Foods, refinance existing indebtedness
at both Simmons Foods and Menu Foods, and pay fees and expenses.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating reflects S&P's opinion that
Simmons Foods has a weak business risk profile and an aggressive
financial profile pro forma for the pending acquisition of Menu
Foods," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christopher Johnson.
Simmons Foods' business risk profile reflects its modest, albeit
well-established, market position as a vertically integrated
chicken processor, recent history of volatile operating earnings,
and integration risk related to the acquisition of Menu Foods.
Still, S&P believes the company's expansion of its private-label
pet food operations, both organically and via acquisitions, will
further improve product diversification that currently exists to
some extent through Simmons Foods' feed ingredients, rendering,
and other businesses.  Although S&P believes a moderate level of
integration synergies may improve future earnings performance, S&P
believes higher feed costs could hurt operating margins in fiscal
2011.

                       About Simon Worldwide

Based in Los Angeles, Simon Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: SWWI) no longer
has any operating business.  Prior to August 2001, the Company
operated as a multi-national full-service promotional marketing
company, specializing in the design and development of high-impact
promotional products and sales promotions.  At December 31, 2009,
the Company held an investment in Yucaipa AEC Associates, LLC, a
limited liability company that is controlled by the Yucaipa
Companies, a Los Angeles, California based investment firm.
Yucaipa AEC in turn principally held an investment in the common
stock of Source Interlink Companies, a direct-to-retail magazine
distribution and fulfillment company in North America, and a
provider of magazine information and front-end management services
for retailers and a publisher of approximately 75 magazine titles.
Yucaipa AEC held this investment in Source until April 28, 2009,
when Source filed a pre-packaged plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

BDO Seidman, LLP, in Los Angeles, following the Company's 2009
results, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability

liquidation in connection with a recapitalization agreement.

On June 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Exchange and
Recapitalization Agreement with Overseas Toys, L.P., the former
holder of all the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the
Company, pursuant to which all the outstanding preferred stock
would be converted into shares of common stock representing 70% of
the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the
conversion.  The Recapitalization Agreement was negotiated on the
Company's behalf by the Special Committee of disinterested
directors which, based in part upon the opinion of the Special
Committee's financial advisor, determined that the transaction was
fair to the holders of common stock from a financial point of
view.

In connection with the Recapitalization Agreement, and in the
event that the Company does not consummate a business combination
by the later of (i) December 31, 2010, or (ii) December 31, 2011,
in the event that a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or
a definitive agreement to complete a business combination was
executed on or prior to December 31, 2010, but the business
combination was not consummated prior to such time, and no
qualified offer have been previously consummated, the officers of
the Company will take all such action necessary to dissolve and
liquidate the Company as soon as reasonably practicable.

TERRESTAR NETWORKS: Akin Gump Also Represents Parent
----------------------------------------------------
Ira S. Dizengoff, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in
New York, bankruptcy counsel to TerreStar Networks Inc. and its
debtor-affiliates, disclosed that in addition to representing the
Debtors, his firm has also represented the Debtors' parent
company, TerreStar Corporation, since 2007.

Mr. Dizengoff revealed that until shortly before the Chapter 11
filing, the Debtors contemplated that TerreStar Corp. and
TerreStar Holdings Inc., an affiliate of the Debtors and a wholly
owned subsidiary of TerreStar Corp., would file for Chapter 11 as
well.  However, in light of certain events, including, without
limitation, the agreement by certain preferred stockholders of
TerreStar Corp. to toll the litigation they were bringing against
the Parent and as an accommodation to the holders of TerreStar
Corp's preferred stock, the decision was made not to file the
entities for Chapter 11 at the same time as the Debtors.

Accordingly, Akin Gump continues to represent TerreStar Corp. and
TS Holdings in connection with examining its restructuring
alternatives.  Akin Gump separately tracks the fees and expenses
associated with its representation of the TSC Entities, and Akin
Gump is paid directly by the TSC Entities for the fees and
expenses.

"Should it be determined that the TSC Entities should file for
Chapter 11, Akin Gump intends to represent the TSC Entities as
counsel during the pendency of that Chapter 11 proceeding," Mr.
Dizengoff said.

Mr. Dizengoff also disclosed that Akin Gump received funds from
the Debtors, aggregating $2,270,257, within 90 days before the
Petition Date.  After application of the funds to fees and
expenses incurred prior to the Petition Date, Akin Gump had, as
of the Petition Date, approximately $157,000 remaining in funds
received prior to the Petition Date.  Akin Gump intends to apply
the remaining amount toward postpetition fees and expenses, after
the postpetition fees and expenses are approved pursuant to the
first order entered by the Court awarding the fees and expenses
to the firm.

TERRESTAR NETWORKS: Fraser Milner Also Represents Parent
--------------------------------------------------------
Michael J. Wunder, Esq., at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP, in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, reveals that in addition to representing
the Debtors, his firm has also represented TerreStar Corporation
and its affiliates since 2004.

Mr. Wunder further reveals that until shortly before the Petition
Date, the Debtors contemplated that TerreStar Corp. and TerreStar
Holdings Inc., an affiliate of the Debtors and a wholly owned
subsidiary of TerreStar Corp., would file for Chapter 11
protection, and corresponding recognition in Canada, as well.

"I have been advised by Akin Gump that in light of certain
events, including, without limitation, the agreement by certain
preferred stockholders of TSC to toll the litigation they were
bringing against TSC and as an accommodation to the holders of
TSC's preferred stock, the decision was made not to file these
entities for chapter 11 at the same time as the Debtors," Mr.
Wunder says.

Against this backdrop, Fraser Milner continues to represent
TerreStar Corp. and TerreStar Holdings as Canadian counsel to
examine Canadian legal issues including, but not limited to,
restructuring alternatives, Mr. Wunder relates.  He notes that
Fraser Milner separately tracks the fees and expenses associated
with its representation of the TSC Entities, and the firm is paid
directly by the TSC Entities for those fees and expenses.

Should it be determined that the TSC Entities should file for
Chapter 11 and subsequently commence any form of insolvency
proceeding in Canada, Fraser Milner intends to represent the TSC
Entities as Canadian counsel during the pendency of the Canadian
proceeding, Mr. Wunder tells the Court.

Fraser Milner received funds from the Debtors, totaling
C$771,355, within 90 days before the commencement of the Chapter
11 cases, according to Mr. Wunder.  He says that after applying
the funds to the firm's prepetition fees and expenses for
services rendered, Fraser Milner had no remaining funds as of the
Petition Date.

TRONOX INC: Court Confirms Plan of Reorganization
-------------------------------------------------
Tronox Incorporated disclosed that the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed its First
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Tronox Incorporated, et
al. Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Plan will
become effective after the Court enters a written order reflecting
this ruling and other Plan conditions have been satisfied.  Tronox
currently expects to emerge from chapter 11 in the upcoming weeks,
as soon as the Plan conditions are satisfied.

"The Court's confirmation of our restructuring plan is a major
milestone for our company and represents the culmination of our
restructuring efforts," said Dennis L. Wanlass, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Tronox.  "We will emerge from the chapter 11
process well-positioned to compete in the titanium dioxide and
specialty chemical industries, having eliminated our significant
environmental and other legacy liabilities."

The Plan received the full support of the United States of
America, through the Department of Justice, on behalf of and in
consultation with the state, local, tribal and quasi-governmental
authorities who have filed claims against Tronox and certain water
authorities, Tronox's official committee of unsecured creditors,
certain holders of Tronox's prepetition unsecured notes who are
backstopping the equity financing needed for the Plan,
representatives of holders of tort claims against Tronox, and
Tronox's official committee of equity security holders.

The Plan provides for the following reorganization transactions:

Tronox will reorganize around its existing operating businesses,
including its facilities at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Hamilton,
Mississippi; Henderson, Nevada; Botlek, The Netherlands and
Kwinana, Australia;

Tronox will rely on a combination of debt and new money equity
investments to meet its working capital needs and fund
distributions required by the Plan, which will include (a)total
funded first lien debt of no more than $470 million and (b)the
proceeds of a $185 million rights offering open to substantially
all unsecured creditors and backstopped by the Backstop Parties;

Government claims related to Tronox's environmental liabilities at
legacy sites (both owned and non-owned) will be settled through
the creation of certain environmental response trusts and a
litigation trust, to which Tronox will contribute the following
consideration: (i) $270 million in cash, (ii) 88% of Tronox's
interest the pending Anadarko Litigation, (iii) certain Nevada
assets, including the real property located in Henderson, Nevada,
and (iv) certain other insurance and financial assurance assets
worth at least $50 million;

Tort Claimants, who have asserted claims related to potential
asbestos, benzene, creosote and other liabilities, will recover
from certain trusts to be created by the Plan to which Tronox will
contribute the following consideration: (i) $12.5 million in cash,
(ii) 12% of Tronox's interest in the Anadarko Litigation, and
(iii) certain insurance assets;

Holders of general unsecured claims will receive their pro rata
share of 50.9% of the common equity of reorganized Tronox, and
received the opportunity to participate in the Rights Offering for
an aggregate of up to 45.5% of the common equity of reorganized
Tronox;

Private parties holding indirect environmental claims will have
their claims split for purposes of sharing in distributions to
holders of general unsecured claims and holders of tort claims;

Certain holders of unsecured claims below $250 were not eligible
to participate in the Rights Offering. Holders of these claims
will receive payment in cash equal to 89% of the amount of such
claims; and

Existing holders of equity in Tronox Incorporated will receive a
package of warrants, consisting of two tranches of warrants to
purchase their pro rata share of a combined total of 7.5% of the
common equity of reorganized Tronox.

Wanlass continued, "On behalf of Tronox and its major
stakeholders, I would like to thank our employees, customers and
suppliers for their support throughout this process. We are very
proud of our accomplishments and look forward to working with all
of our stakeholders following our emergence."

with them has led to over 150 unique requests from members looking
to participate in the property purchase program."

It had become clear throughout the Ultimate Escapes bankruptcy
process and Demeure transition that members have individual needs
requiring personalized attention.  The waiver of conditions by
Demeure and its commitment to proceed with the original Asset
Purchase Agreement ensures members will have ample opportunity to
complete commitment agreements, participate in the property
purchase program and reservation lottery throughout the months of
November and December.

"CRG is pleased that the conditions to close on November 24th have
been waived and that CapitalSource Bank continues to work
cooperatively with Demeure to reach a successful result based on
the current number of property purchase inquiries," said Stephen
Gray of CRG Partners.

UNITED WESTERN: Delays Filing of Form 10-Q for Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
United Western Bancorp Inc. said it could not timely file its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2010,
because the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements
for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 have not been finalized.

According to the Company, the delay in completing the financial
statements is primarily attributable to the timing of an
examination of its wholly-owned subsidiary, United Western Bank,
by its primary regulators, the Office of Thrift Supervision and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Company said it is currently engaged in discussions with
the OTS and the FDIC regarding the Bank's consistently applied
methodology for determining other-than-temporary impairment on
non-agency, mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2010.  As
a result of these ongoing discussions with the OTS and the FDIC,
the Company is still finalizing its unaudited consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures for the quarter
ended September 30, 2010.

Agreement from the Effective Date as defined in the Agreement

Forbearance Disclosed Defaults, under any of the Loan Documents,
the Fifth Forbearance Agreement or any other agreement required to

investment agreement providing for the investment by the anchor
investors of no less than $91 million and collectively, an

VERTIS HOLDINGS: Returns to Chapter 11 with Prepackaged Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Vertis Holdings, Inc., and its affiliates, including American
Color Graphics, Inc., on November 17 filed for Chapter 11
petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 10-16170), with a
pre-packaged Chapter 11 plan.

The Debtors said the recapitalization will strengthen Vertis'
capital structure by reducing total debt by approximately 60
percent, or $700 million, while substantially lowering interest
costs, extending maturities and increasing liquidity.  This will
provide Vertis with the financial strength necessary to increase
its investment in the business, advancing products and services
and maintaining its position as a leading marketing communications
company.

"Our commitment to our clients, employees and suppliers is a core
value for our Company and a driving force in all that we do," said
Quincy L. Allen, Chief Executive Officer. "Today we have taken a
decisive step that will enable us to expeditiously complete our
recapitalization. We will emerge as an even stronger company with
significant opportunities to grow our relationships with all of
our stakeholders today and in the future."

                       Financing Commitments

Vertis has secured a commitment for a $200 million debtor-in-
possession Revolving Credit Facility from GE Capital.  The DIP
facility will provide Vertis the necessary financing to complete
the confirmation of its Plan of Reorganization within 45 to 60
days and ensure that it is able to uphold its commitments to
clients, employees, and suppliers.  Vertis has already received
commitments for $600 million in financing to be implemented under
the Plan of Reorganization, including a $425 million Term Loan
from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and a $175 million
Revolving Credit Facility from GE Capital.  Vertis has also
received commitments for up to $100 million of new common equity,
pursuant to its previously announced Private Placement and the
associated backstops.

Vertis has filed a series of first day motions to allow the
Company to continue to operate in the ordinary course during the
confirmation process.  Vertis is seeking bankruptcy court approval
to continue the payment of wages, salaries and other employee
benefits, and to uphold all of its commitments under existing
client programs.  Additionally, the Company's Plan of
Reorganization contemplates paying suppliers in full for all
obligations.

A hearing on the First Day Motions is scheduled for November 19,
2010 (10:00 a.m. ET).

                    Prepetition Exchange Offers

Vertis announced on November 2, 2010, that holders of its Senior
Secured Second Lien Notes due 2012 and of its Senior Pay-in-Kind
Notes due 2014 were being offered the opportunity to exchange
their existing debt for equity.  The Company also announced that
it was soliciting acceptances of its proposed pre-packaged Chapter
11 Plan of Reorganization as an alternate path for implementing
the restructuring to ensure that it would be completed on a timely
basis.

However, early voting results as of November 15, 2010, the
deadline by which eligible note holders were required to vote in
order to receive a consent payment, indicated a low likelihood of
reaching the 98% participation levels established in the out-of
court exchange offers.  Vertis thus cancelled the exchange offer
and determined that commencing a voluntary pre-packaged filing
prior to the December 1, 2010, voting deadline was the right path
to complete its recapitalization in the near term.

As of November 17, 2010, the Company has received overwhelming
acceptances of its Plan of Reorganization. Specifically, of those
holders of Second Lien Notes that have voted on the Plan, 98.29%
in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes have voted
to accept the Plan. Of those holders of Senior PIK Notes that have
voted on the Plan, 99.98% in aggregate principal amount of the
Senior PIK Notes have voted to accept the Plan.

"Our note holders' support for our Plan of Reorganization and the
committed financing we have secured are clear votes of confidence
in the strength of our business and our strategy for the future of
being a leading marketing communications company," Allen
continued. "We are confident our recapitalization will allow us to
both achieve our financial goals and support our mission."

                       Road to Chapter 11

This is not the Debtors' first journey through chapter 11.  On
July 15, 2008, Vertis and certain of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries commenced prepackaged chapter 11 cases in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Bankr. D.
Del. Case No. 08-11460).  In August 2008, Vertis emerged from
bankruptcy after completing a merger with ACG Holdings.

Gerald Sokol, Jr., its Chief Financial Officer, relates, "Vertis'
2008 bankruptcy filing was precipitated by its highly leveraged
capital structure and the maturity of its then-outstanding credit
agreements.  Despite Vertis' successful merger with ACG and the
consummation of the 2008 prepackaged plan, the company emerged
from chapter 11 in late 2008 under the cloud caused by the capital
markets turmoil that culminated in the collapse of Lehman Brothers
on September 15, 2008.  These events undermined the success of the
2008 reorganization plan, resulting in the company still being
highly leveraged."

Beginning in very late 2009 and into the spring of 2010, the
Debtors attempted a comprehensive restructuring of their balance
sheet.  According to Mr. Sokol, "the Debtors [however] have faced
continuing uncertainty about their capital structure since their
emergence from chapter 11 in the fall of 2008, uncertainty that
has been exasperated by the Debtors' multiple, unsuccessful
efforts since the spring of 2010 to consummate exchange offers
relating to their Second Lien Notes and Senior PIK Notes and to
obtain new lending facilities to refinance the Existing
Facilities."

The Debtors now aim to exit Chapter 11 before the first quarter of
next year.

Mr. Sokol said, "It is especially important for the Debtors to put
these matters behind them before the first quarter of 2011.  The
first quarter is a critical period in the printing industry
because it marks the beginning of the selling season and sets the
benchmark for the Debtors' financial results for the year. The
Debtors must be able to demonstrate to their clients, vendors,
suppliers and employees that they have resolved their balance
sheet issues, once and for all, before the first quarter
commences.  If the Debtors have not emerged from bankruptcy, the
competition may try to use this against them, causing a loss in
first quarter sales, which may debilitate the Debtors' prospects
for a successful reorganization."

Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, serve as counsel to the Debtors.

VITRO SAB: Noteholders Commence Bankr. Cases Against Subsidiaries
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Certain members of the Ad Hoc Group of Vitro Noteholders, which is
comprised of holders, or investment advisors to holders, of
approximately $500 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes
due 2012, 2013 and 2017 issued by Vitro S.A.B. de C.V., commenced
on November 18, 2010 involuntary bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code against fifteen of Vitro's U.S.
subsidiary guarantors.  The Cases are pending before the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas.

By written guaranties entered into in 2007 and 2008, the U.S.
Subsidiary Debtors are unconditionally liable for all amounts due
by Vitro under the Senior Notes, including the approximate
principal amount of $1.2 billion, plus accrued interest and fees.
This debt was accelerated following its default almost two years
ago.

By commencing these Cases, the members of the Ad Hoc Noteholder
Group are continuing the Group's efforts to maximize recoveries
for all holders of Senior Notes, whether from Vitro or the U.S.
Subsidiary Debtors, and are hopeful that, by invoking the
protections of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the oversight of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court on the ongoing process, any restructuring
will be fair, transparent and administered according to existing
law.

Opposition to the Solicitation

In addition, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group and its counsel have now
fully reviewed the "Tender Offer, Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation" launched by Vitro in connection with its anticipated
prepackaged Concurso plan in Mexico dated November 1, 2010.  The
Ad Hoc Noteholder Group opposes the Solicitation.

The Ad Hoc Noteholder Group believes that Vitro's Solicitation
does not offer adequate consideration to the Noteholders.  Vitro's
plan significantly undervalues the Company, undercounts the amount
and ratable portion of the Noteholders' claims, and
inappropriately redistributes value away from Noteholders to
Vitro's shareholders and insiders.

Vitro claims that Noteholders may miss out on a cash consent fee
unless such holders agree to the Solicitation.  The Ad Hoc
Noteholder Group, however, believes that any payments made to the
Noteholders may be found to be void or voidable when challenged
under applicable Mexican or U.S. law. Furthermore, the DFI Notes
and the Other Debt, whose claims are treated as being pari passu
with the Senior Notes in the Solicitation, either do not share
the same guarantees that the Senior Notes have or may have
inappropriately received guarantees that are subject to avoidance
under applicable Mexican or U.S. law.

The Solicitation is coercive and lacks proper disclosure.  Rather
than negotiate in good faith with its creditors or offer a
reasonable restructuring proposal that would fairly and
conclusively resolve long-standing debt defaults, Vitro instead
launched the Solicitation without support from the Ad Hoc
Noteholder Group or any other non-insider creditor of which we are
aware.

Solicitation Provides Insufficient Disclosure

Vitro launched its Solicitation on November 1, 2010, even though
at that time it had already admitted defects in its disclosure
obligations to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  As a
result of these defects, on November 5, 2010, the SEC directed
Vitro to withdraw its request to terminate the registration of its
debt and equity securities with the SEC and its reporting
obligations with the SEC, or to file its late Annual Report on
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009, together with
other materials required to be filed or become current in its
reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
A copy of the SEC's November 5, 2010 correspondence to Vitro can
be found on EDGAR.

The Ad Hoc Noteholder Group believes that the information that
Vitro is required to, and so far failed to, file with the SEC is
critical for any Noteholder to make an investment decision
regarding whether to accept the Solicitation and the securities
offered thereunder.  For example, the Annual Report on Form 20-F
should have included updated consolidating financial information
and many material documents identified in Vitro's solicitation
statement which were never filed with the SEC or otherwise made
publicly available -- including the substantive transactions and
agreements with which Vitro seeks to orchestrate the Solicitation
and proposed prepackaged concurso plan.  Indeed, the updated
consolidating financial information should include disclosure
concerning alleged Intercompany Claims, which are vitally
important to Vitro's threat that it will use these claims to vote
to cram down Vitro's plan on non-consenting Noteholders.

At this time, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group continues to review all
available options and reserves all of its available legal and
contractual rights and remedies against Vitro, its affiliates and
all other persons or entities actively involved in Vitro's ongoing
attempts to avoid paying its legitimate obligations arising under
U.S. debt securities.

The foregoing shall not be construed as tax, legal, business,
financial, accounting or other advice, and Noteholders are
encouraged to consult their own advisors.

* BOOK REVIEW: Vertical Integration, Outsourcing, and Corporate
               Strategy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Author: Kathryn Rudie Harrigan
Publisher: Beard Books
Softcover: 390 pages
List Price: $34.95
Review by Henry Berry

The original title of Vertical Integration, Outsourcing, and
Corporate Strategy, first published in 1983, was Strategies for
Vertical Integration.  The updated title reflects the topic of
outsourcing that was discussed in the original material.  By the
early 1980s, when the book first appeared, the "old image of
vertical integration [was] outmoded," says the author.  The old
image saw vertical integration as "operations that are 100 percent
owned and physically interconnected and that supply 100 percent of
the firm's needs."  But this image of vertical integration rarely
fulfilled the expectations of a generation of business leaders.
Vertical integration was not only undesirable, it also could be
deceptive and shortsighted.  Vertical integration made many
companies too narrowly focused, complex, and inflexible and
burdensome to operate.  These are especially undesirable traits
in today's economy, which is characterized by market-share
fluctuations, lower start-up costs, fickle consumers, competition
from foreign corporations, the enhanced role of advertising and
marketing, and rapid technological developments affecting
corporate communication and distribution.

While vertical integration has become a much more risky aim in
today's diversified, decentralized economy, it nonetheless
continues to embody classic favorable business principles and
undisputed competitive advantages.  "The principle benefits of
vertical integration are economies of integration and cost
reduction made possible by improved coordination of activities,"
says the author.  But as Ms. Harrigan soon discovered from her
research, "firms sometimes undertake a more costly degree of
integration than may be required to cut costs."

Ms. Harrigan's text provides case studies of how companies
have implemented strategies for vertical integration.  These
strategies, which have ranged from the successful to the
unfortunate, cover sixteen business sectors, including petroleum
refining, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering, personal
microcomputers, and the tailored-suits field of the clothing
industry.  The author looks at nearly two hundred companies
within these industries for guidance and lessons they offer.

In today's global economy, monopolies are discouraged by
government policies.  Thus, there are many more players, single
sources of raw materials can be unreliable, and corporations are
finding that it is more important to be responsive to changing
markets than to have a permanent identity or unvarying products.
As a corporate strategy, vertical integration can be successful if
implemented properly.  There is no monolithic model for vertical
integration; there is a large universe of possibilities with
respect to breadth, depth, and form.  With its expert analyses,
Ms. Harrigan's book is invaluable for high-stakes corporate
decision-makers who will sooner or later be faced with the
question of whether vertical integration is an appropriate
corporate strategy.

Kathryn Rudie Harrigan has received fellowships and other honors
and recognition for her business leadership, membership on boards
of directors, and scholarly work in the field of business.  She
has written several other books and numerous articles.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers"
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR.  Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
