-------------------------------------------------------------
315 Union Street Holdings, LLC, seeks authority from the Hon.
Keith M. Lundin of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee to use cash securing its debt to its

Steven L. Lefkovitz, Esq., at Lefkovitz & Lefkovitz, explains that
the Debtor needs to access cash collateral to fund its Chapter 11
case, pay suppliers and other parties.

Branch Banking and Trust Company, the secured creditor, has
objected to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral.

The Court has set a hearing for December 15, 2010, at 10:00 a.m.

debts as of the Petition Date.

immediately be appointed to prevent further loss to the estate.

The Court will hold a hearing on December 21, 2010, at 1:30 p.m.
on BB&T's request to have a Chapter 11 trustee appointed.
Objections to the request must be filed by December 20, 2010.

ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS: To Sell 8.3-Mil. Shares Plus Warrants
-------------------------------------------------------------
Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is registering securities that it
plans to sell in an offering that could raise $25,000,000.

Access plans to sell 8,333,333 units, with each unit consisting of
one share of common stock, par value, $0.01 par value, and a
warrant to purchase 0.3 share of common stock, according to an
amended Form S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The latest Form S-1 filing left blanks on the proposed offering
price per Unit and the placement agent's fees.

The Units may be issued and sold in one or more closings up to the
termination date on March 31, 2011.

The Company expects to use the proceeds received from the offering
to further develop its products and product candidates and for
general working capital purposes.

The Company's common stock is presently listed on the Over-the-
counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "ACCP".  The Company does
not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any securities
exchange.  On November 22, 2010, the last reported sale price of
the Company's common stock on the OTC BB was $2.95 per share.

Hudson Securities, Inc., has agreed to act as placement agent in
connection with this offering.

The Company has filed various amendments to its prospectus.  The
latest Form S-1, filed December 8, 2010, is available at:

ADVANCED MICRO: Fitch Gives Stable Outlook for Industry in 2011
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has published its annual outlook on the U.S.
Technology sector.  The report titled '2011 Outlook: U.S.
Technology' gives an overview of Technology sub-sectors hardware,
IT services, semi-conductors, distributors, and electronic
manufacturing services, among others.

Fitch has a Stable Outlook on the U.S. Technology sector for 2011.
Fitch expects global Information Technology spending in 2011 to
exceed worldwide GDP with mid-single digit growth driven by
emerging markets, continued commercial refresh of PC's and
servers, and increased demand for storage, analytics and
virtualization products.  Operating profitability should continue
to improve as cost reduction initiatives result in positive
operating leverage.  Fitch expects higher growth will be mitigated
by a pressured public sector, normalized supply chain demand with
minimal benefit from inventory replenishment, and potential
pricing pressures from the increasing overlap of product offerings
by the largest IT companies.

Given the general fragility of the economy, Fitch believes there
is limited upside ratings potential for the overall sector outside
of companies already on positive outlook.  Nonetheless, the
majority of investment grade IT companies have material amounts of
liquidity, as well as debt capacity at existing ratings.  The
biggest concern heading into 2011 is the risk IT companies use up
this liquidity and capacity (via shareholder returns and/or
exorbitant M&A premiums) on the heels of an economic downturn.
This concern is mitigated by the sectors' historically
conservative stance towards leverage and shareholder returns.

The stable outlook takes into account Fitch's belief that the
sector has adequate capacity to withstand an unforeseen downturn
in the economy.  The consistency and rational behavior of the
supply chain served the industry well during challenging economic
and industry conditions, and Fitch expects similar behavior will
continue to benefit the industry in 2011.

Key Themes and Concerns of Fitch's IT Outlook:

  -- Heading into 2011, the Investment Grade Technology sector is
     marked by strong liquidity and, in many cases, debt capacity
     at existing ratings. As such, Fitch believes these Investment
     Grade Technology companies could withstand a double-dip
     recession and still maintain existing ratings. The high-yield
     technology sector for the most part does not benefit from
     this flexibility as companies, including First Data and
     Freescale, would likely not be able to withstand another
     pullback in the economy.

  -- Fitch expects M&A activity to continue to be robust in 2011
     led by the continued push for end-to-end enterprise solutions
     and the need to solidify market positions in higher growth
     areas within the IT industry, such as storage and security.
     Positively, most M&A activity will likely be in the moderate
     range ($3 billion and below) and to be at least partially
     funded with cash.  Shareholder demands have been very limited
     over the last year And Fitch expects companies with large
     cash balances but working capital deficits (i.e., A/R and
     Inventory less A/P and Deferred Revenues) will continue to
     take a measured approach to share repurchases, dividends, and
     M&A.

  -- Pricing pressures and limited demand visibility are likely to
     continue for the foreseeable future.  Further, Fitch expects
     fiscal issues related to the public sector will worsen over
     the course of 2011 and therefore could dampen intermediate
     term growth.

  -- LBO risk will continue to garner headlines as many companies
     trade at low multiples relative to prior years.  However, the
     fallout of deals related to Fidelity National and Seagate
     over the last nine months could point to a more conservative
     stance for now by lenders and equity sponsors towards the
     pricing pressures and hyper-cyclical nature of the IT sector.

  -- The consumer shift to tablets and smart phones will likely be
     at the expense of traditional personal computers and
     printers.  This could result in elongated lifecycles for
     consumer PCs and printers.  As such, PC manufacturers that
     have traditionally benefited from a favorable cash conversion
     cycle on these consumer products could have a negative impact
     to free cash flow.

ADVANTA CORP: Committee Seeks Right to File Competing Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the official committee of unsecured creditors for
Advanta Corp. is asking the bankruptcy court not to grant an
extension of the Debtor's exclusive period to propose a Chapter 11
plan.  The Creditors Committee wants the right to propose a
competing plan, arguing that Advanta's plan "favors the debtors'
insiders at the expense of third-party creditors."  The proposal
insulates insiders from lawsuits while preventing creditors from
attempting to disallow or subordinate $51.8 million in insider
claims, the creditor group said.  The Committee says its plan
would "largely mirror" Advanta's while correcting "terms intended
to favor the debtors' insiders."

                        The Chapter 11 Plan

The Honorable Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware will convene a hearing today, December 16,
2010, at 3:30 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), to consider adequacy
of the Disclosure Statement explaining Advanta Corp., et al.'s
Chapter 11 Plan.  Objections, if any, were due December 7 at
5:00 p.m.

The Debtors say the proposed plan provides for substantial
recovery to creditors, including retail noteholders.  Among other
things, the Disclosure Statement says there will be a 64.4% to
100.0% recovery for holders of investment note claims and certain
RediReserve certificate claims, and a recovery range of 37.7% to
71.3% for holders of general unsecured claims.  There will be no
distributions to the preferred or common stockholders of Advanta
Corp. nor continuing interest in Advanta Corp. on the part of the
preferred or common stockholders.

Once the Disclosure Statement is approved, the Plan will be sent
to eligible creditors for voting.  The Company previously said it
anticipates approval of the Plan sometime in early 2011.

                        Plan Exclusivity

Advanta Corp. and its affiliated debtors seek to further extend
their exclusive periods to file a Chapter 11 plan and solicit
acceptances of that plan by an additional 60 days, or until
January 5, 2011, and March 4, 2011, respectively.  The Debtors say
an extension is warranted because they need a full and fair
opportunity to prosecute the proposed plan and solicit acceptances
thereto, without the deterioration and disruption that is likely
to be caused by the filing of competing plans by non-Debtor
parties.  The Debtors add that an extension will increase the
likelihood of a greater distribution to the Debtors' stakeholders.

AMERICAN APPAREL: 3 Directors Elected; Marcum Ratified as Auditor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Apparel Inc. held its 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
on December 10, 2010.  At the meeting, the Company said that Dov
Charney, Mark Samson, and Mark A. Thornton were elected to Board
of Directors, and Marcum LLP was ratified as the Company's
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

                      About American Apparel

Los Angeles, Calif.-based American Apparel, Inc. (NYSE Amex: APP)
-- http://www.americanapparel.com/-- is a vertically integrated
manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of branded fashion basic
apparel.  As of September 30, 2010, American Apparel employed over
10,000 people and operated 278 retail stores in 20 countries,
including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, United
Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Israel, Australia, Japan,
South Korea and China.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$322.7 million in total assets, $231.3 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $91.4 million.

American Apparel disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the third quarter of 2010 that based upon results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and
through the issuance of the financial statements and projected for
the remainder of 2010, the Company may not have sufficient
liquidity necessary to sustain operations for the next twelve
months, and that it is probable that beginning January 31, 2011,
the Company will not be in compliance with the minimum
Consolidated EBITDA covenant under the $80,000,000 term loan with
Lion Capital LLP.

"Noncompliance with covenants under the Lion Credit Agreement
would constitute an event of default under the BofA Credit
Agreement, which, if not waived, could block the Company from
making borrowings under the BofA Credit Agreement," the Company
said in the filing.  "These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a
going concern."


AMERICAN INT'L: Transfers Select Benefits Plans to New Provider
---------------------------------------------------------------
American International Group Inc. said it is moving the
administration of certain of its employee benefits plans to a new
third-party service provider.  To provide time for the transition
to the new platform, all participants in the covered plans will be
temporarily restricted for a certain period from performing
various transactions and obtaining information about their
account.

                          Blackout Period

A blackout period for the Covered Plans, during which participants
will be unable to perform fund transfers, reallocations, provide
investment directions, change contribution elections, enroll, make
a rollover into or obtain a loan, withdrawal, or distribution from
a Covered Plan, will begin at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday,
December 29, 2010 and end during the week of January 9, 2011.

                       Trading Restrictions

During the Blackout Period, all Directors and Executive Officers
of AIG will be unable, directly or indirectly, to purchase, sell
or otherwise acquire or transfer any equity securities of AIG and
derivative securities, including options, if such securities were
acquired in connection with employment or service as a Director or
Executive Officer of the Company.  Transactions by a Director's or
Executive Officer's family members or by entities in which a
Director or Executive Officer has an interest are subject to the
transaction restrictions to the extent of the insider's pecuniary
interest.

                       Important Exemptions

The payment of stock salary is covered by an exemption under
Regulation BTR and is therefore not affected by the Blackout
Period restrictions.  Similarly, there is an exemption for the
vesting of previously granted equity-based awards.  Lastly, in the
event that warrants to purchase shares of AIG Common Stock are
issued, in connection with the recently announced
recapitalization, during the Blackout Period , the issuance of
such warrants is covered by a Reg BTR exemption and will not be
prohibited by the Blackout Period.  There are certain other
transactions that are exempt from the Blackout Period
restrictions.

                             About AIG

American International Group, Inc. -- http://www.aig.com/-- is an
international insurance organization with operations in more than
130 countries and jurisdictions.  AIG companies serve commercial,
institutional and individual customers through one of the most
extensive worldwide property-casualty networks of any insurer. In
addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance
and retirement services around the world.  AIG common stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the stock
exchanges in Ireland and Tokyo.

In September 2008, AIG experienced a liquidity crunch when its
credit ratings were downgraded below "AA" levels by Standard &
Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.  AIG almost
collapsed under the weight of bad bets it made insuring mortgage-
backed securities.  The Company, however, was bailed out by the
Federal Reserve, but even after an initial infusion of
$85 billion, losses continued to grow.  The later rescue packages
brought the total to $182 billion, making it the biggest federal
bailout in U.S. history.

AIG has been working to protect and enhance the value of its key
businesses, execute an orderly asset disposition plan, and
position itself for the future.  AIG has sold a number of its
subsidiaries and other assets to pay down loans received from the
U.S. government, and continues to seek buyers of its assets.


AMERICAN SAFETY: S&P Withdraws 'D' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it withdrew its
ratings, including the 'D' corporate credit rating, on Verona,
Virginia-based American Safety Razor Co.  This action was taken at
the company's request.

U.S.-based Energizer Holdings Inc. purchased substantially all of
the assets of ASR on Nov. 23, 2010.  ASR and its U.S. subsidiaries
previously filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
district of Delaware on July 28, 2010.


ANIXTER INC: Fitch Gives Stable Outlook for Industry in 2011
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has published its annual outlook on the U.S.
Technology sector.  The report titled '2011 Outlook: U.S.
Technology' gives an overview of Technology sub-sectors hardware,
IT services, semi-conductors, distributors, and electronic
manufacturing services, among others.

Fitch has a Stable Outlook on the U.S. Technology sector for 2011.
Fitch expects global Information Technology spending in 2011 to
exceed worldwide GDP with mid-single digit growth driven by
emerging markets, continued commercial refresh of PC's and
servers, and increased demand for storage, analytics and
virtualization products.  Operating profitability should continue
to improve as cost reduction initiatives result in positive
operating leverage.  Fitch expects higher growth will be mitigated
by a pressured public sector, normalized supply chain demand with
minimal benefit from inventory replenishment, and potential
pricing pressures from the increasing overlap of product offerings
by the largest IT companies.

Given the general fragility of the economy, Fitch believes there
is limited upside ratings potential for the overall sector outside
of companies already on positive outlook.  Nonetheless, the
majority of investment grade IT companies have material amounts of
liquidity, as well as debt capacity at existing ratings.  The
biggest concern heading into 2011 is the risk IT companies use up
this liquidity and capacity (via shareholder returns and/or
exorbitant M&A premiums) on the heels of an economic downturn.
This concern is mitigated by the sectors' historically
conservative stance towards leverage and shareholder returns.

The stable outlook takes into account Fitch's belief that the
sector has adequate capacity to withstand an unforeseen downturn
in the economy.  The consistency and rational behavior of the
supply chain served the industry well during challenging economic
and industry conditions, and Fitch expects similar behavior will
continue to benefit the industry in 2011.

Key Themes and Concerns of Fitch's IT Outlook:

  -- Heading into 2011, the Investment Grade Technology sector is
     marked by strong liquidity and, in many cases, debt capacity
     at existing ratings. As such, Fitch believes these Investment
     Grade Technology companies could withstand a double-dip
     recession and still maintain existing ratings. The high-yield
     technology sector for the most part does not benefit from
     this flexibility as companies, including First Data and
     Freescale, would likely not be able to withstand another
     pullback in the economy.

  -- Fitch expects M&A activity to continue to be robust in 2011
     led by the continued push for end-to-end enterprise solutions
     and the need to solidify market positions in higher growth
     areas within the IT industry, such as storage and security.
     Positively, most M&A activity will likely be in the moderate
     range ($3 billion and below) and to be at least partially
     funded with cash.  Shareholder demands have been very limited
     over the last year And Fitch expects companies with large
     cash balances but working capital deficits (i.e., A/R and
     Inventory less A/P and Deferred Revenues) will continue to
     take a measured approach to share repurchases, dividends, and
     M&A.

  -- Pricing pressures and limited demand visibility are likely to
     continue for the foreseeable future.  Further, Fitch expects
     fiscal issues related to the public sector will worsen over
     the course of 2011 and therefore could dampen intermediate
     term growth.

  -- LBO risk will continue to garner headlines as many companies
     trade at low multiples relative to prior years.  However, the
     fallout of deals related to Fidelity National and Seagate
     over the last nine months could point to a more conservative
     stance for now by lenders and equity sponsors towards the
     pricing pressures and hyper-cyclical nature of the IT sector.

  -- The consumer shift to tablets and smart phones will likely be
     at the expense of traditional personal computers and
     printers.  This could result in elongated lifecycles for
     consumer PCs and printers.  As such, PC manufacturers that
     have traditionally benefited from a favorable cash conversion
     cycle on these consumer products could have a negative impact
     to free cash flow.

APPLIED ENERGETICS: Receives NASDAQ Letter Citing Non-Compliance
----------------------------------------------------------------
Applied Energetics, Inc. received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock
Market stating that the minimum bid price of the Company's common
stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days

AURORA DIAGNOSTICS: Moody's Downgrades Senior Note Ratings to 'B3'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings on Aurora
Diagnostics, LLC's senior unsecured notes to B3 (LGD5, 76%) from
B2 (LGD5, 75%) and the amended credit facility to Ba2 (LGD2, 20%)
from Ba1 (LGD2, 19%).  Aurora's B1 Corporate Family and
Probability of Default Rating remain unchanged.  The outlook for
the ratings remains negative.

The downgrade of the ratings reflects the change in the
application of Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology following
the company's downsizing of the senior unsecured note offering to
$200 million from $230 million.  Moody's had previously
communicated that even a modest difference in the amount of
unsecured debt raised or secured debt repaid in this transaction
could affect the notching of both Classes of debt.

This is a summary of Moody's rating actions.

Ratings downgraded:

Aurora Diagnostics Holdings, LLC:

* Senior unsecured notes, to B3 (LGD5, 76%) from B2 (LGD5, 75%)

Aurora Diagnostics, LLC:

* Senior secured revolving credit facility, to Ba2 (LGD2, 20%)
  from Ba1 (LGD2, 19%)

* Senior secured term loan due 2016, to Ba2 (LGD2, 20%) from Ba1
  (LGD2, 19%)

Ratings unchanged:

Aurora Diagnostics Holdings, LLC:

* Corporate Family Rating, B1
* Probability of Default Rating, B1
* Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-2

                        Ratings Rationale

Aurora's B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
comparatively small scale, relatively short operating history at
its current size and the potential risks associated with a rapid
growth rate.  Moody's also considers the significant amount of
contingent liabilities in the form of future earnouts and future
payments under a tax receivable arrangement relative to the debt
level.  However, Moody's also considers the company's history of
favorable operating performance, including strong margins, solid
free cash flow generation and relatively modest financial leverage
targets.

Upward pressure on the rating is limited due to the company's
size, risks associated with a rapid growth strategy and the
increase in leverage from the proposed bond offering.  However,
Moody's could change the outlook back to stable if the company
completes the contemplated IPO and uses proceeds to reduce debt.
Moody's could also consider stabilizing the outlook if the company
exhibits strong organic growth such that adjusted debt to EBITDA,
excluding obligations related to earnouts, approaches a
sustainable level of about 4.0 times.  Ratings on specific debt
instruments could change based on capital structure changes, even
if the Corporate Family Rating remains unchanged.

Conversely, Moody's could downgrade the rating if the company is
unable to reduce leverage in the near term due to operating
difficulty in its core business, either through pressure from
commercial payors on reimbursement rates or loss of physician
referrals for the company's services, or if Aurora experiences
integration issues with future acquisitions.  Additionally,
Moody's could consider downgrading the rating if the company does
not complete its contemplated equity offering or if proceeds from
the offering are not used for debt repayment.

Moody's last rating action on Aurora was on December 6, 2010, when
Moody's assigned the ratings to the proposed issuance of unsecured
notes and changed the rating outlook to negative.

Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Aurora, through its
subsidiaries, provides physician-based general anatomic and
clinical pathology, dermapathology, molecular diagnostic services
and other esoteric testing services to physicians, hospitals,
clinical laboratories and surgery centers.  The company recognized
approximately $200 million in revenue for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2010.


BAKHTAVER IRANI: Wants to Take Over Mall; Sale on Hold
------------------------------------------------------
Bakhtaver and Aspi Irani, owners of the Closter Plaza mall in New
Jersey, are in Chapter 11 primarily with primarily with debts
related to their real estate holdings, The Record reports, citing
the Debtors' counsel.

Daniel Stolz, Esq., at Wasserman, Jurista & Stolz, in Millburn,
counsel to the Debtors, said the Aspis are in talks with
representatives from Hekemian & Co. to take over management of the
mall and get it back on the right track, according to The Record.

"Some of their real estate affairs were not appropriately managed
by the people they put in to run them," Mr. Stolz said, according
to the report.

Mr. Stolz cited Closter Plaza as an example, saying the removal of
tenants without replacement by the former project manager and the
delays in getting a Whole Foods Market to the development.

Mayor Sophie Heymann said Closter Plaza was among the five
commercial properties for which the borough planned to hold a tax
lien sale last week.  It owed $688,779 in 2010 property taxes,
according to the tax sale advertisement.

However, according to Mr. Stolz, the tax sale on Closter Plaza is
on hold because of the bankruptcy filing.

The Aspis filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. N.J. Case No.
10-47961 in Newark, New Jersey on Dec. 8, 2010.  The Debtors
disclosed assets and debts of $10 million to $50 million.

The Chapter 11 case summary for Bakhtaver and Aspi Irani was
reported in the Dec. 10, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter.


BARBER GLASS: Owner Repurchases Guelph Location from Receiver
-------------------------------------------------------------
Guelph Mercury reports that John Barber, president of Canada-based
Barber Glass Industries Inc., said an agreement was reached with
the receiver to buy back and preserve Barber Glass' retail
operation.  Mr. Barber did not disclose the purchase price, only
offering that it was under $1 million.

According to the report, Mr. Barber is purchasing back from the
receiver the Barber Glass Retail, a glass products shop on Suffolk
Street in Guelph, Ontario.  The bankruptcy proceedings revolving
around Barber Glass Industries, the much larger manufacturing
component of the business, continue, but there are efforts being
made to save it as well.

                 About Barber Glass Industries

Guelph, Ontario-based Barber Glass Industries, Inc., manufactures
fabricated glass and related products.  The company had three
locations: Collingwood, ON, for oversize glass; Southgate Drive,
Guelph, for architectural and furniture glass; and Suffolk Street,
Guelph, for retail glass.

After 127 years of successful operations, Barber Glass began an
expansion in 2008 with the development of a new state-of-the-art
facility in Collingwood, serving an oversize architectural glass
market.  However, a major equipment supplier to the new facility
had problems in solving their equipment issues resulting in a
delay in the start-up of commercial production for six months
according to a company press release.

On November 10, 2010, at the request of Bank of Montreal, the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Commercial List, entered an
order appointing Grant Thornton Limited as receiver and manager of
the assets and properties of Barber Glass Industries Inc.

A November 15, 2010 report by the Enterprise-Bulletin said that
the Collingwood and Southgate locations been affected by the
receivership, and about 100 employees -- 50 in each facility --
have lost their jobs, said Jeff Wilkins, operations manager at
Collingwood.  The Suffolk Street facility, with about 10
employees, hasn't been affected.

BAYOU GROUP: Goldman Appeals $21MM Arbitration Award to Creditors
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has put up
a multimillion-dollar bond and said it is appealing a decision by
a lower court judge that kept alive a $20.6 million arbitration
award granted to unsecured creditors of Bayou Group LLC.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 3, 2010, U.S.
District Judge Jed S. Rakoff on November 30 upheld a $20.6 million
arbitration award against Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing LP in
favor of Bayou Group LLC's unsecured creditors committee.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
recalled that prepetition, Bayou Group, a hedge fund that turned
out to be a Ponzi scheme, kept customer funds in accounts at
Goldman Sachs.  The official committee of unsecured creditors for
Bayou later sued Goldman in bankruptcy court.  Rather than submit
to the lawsuit in bankruptcy court, Goldman invoked a provision in
the account agreement, sending the dispute to arbitration under
the auspices of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
After arbitrators told Goldman Sachs to pay $20.6 million to the
Bayou creditors, the broker filed suit in the District Court
alleging that the award was invalid as the result of "manifest
disregard" of controlling law.

According to Mr. Rochelle, Judge Rakoff disagreed with Goldman's
arguments and upheld the award.  Because Goldman Sachs
"voluntarily" chose arbitration, Judge Rakoff said it must "suffer
the consequences."  Judge Rakoff noted that arbitrators implicitly
found that Goldman Sachs "failed to engage in the diligent
investigation that would have revealed Bayou's fraud."

The case is Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing, L.P. (f/k/a Spear,
Leeds & Kellogg, L.P.), v. The Official Unsecured Creditors'
Committee of Bayou Group, LLC, et al., on behalf of Bayou Group,
LLC, Bayou Management, LLC, Bayou Advisors, LLC, Bayou Equities,
LLC, Bayou Fund, LLC, Bayou Superfund, LLC, Bayou No Leverage
Fund, LLC, Bayou Affiliates Fund, LLC, and Bayou Accredited Fund,
LLC, case no. 10-cv-5622 (S.D.N.Y.).  A copy of Judge Jed S.
Rakoff's November 30, 2010 Opinion and Order is available at

----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a judge has awarded $44 million to
Baker & Hostetler LLP and nine other firms working to recover
funds lost in Bernard L. Madoff's notorious Ponzi scheme, saying

BOZEL SA: Has Until April 1 to Propose Plan of Reorganization
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Arthur J. Gonzalez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York extended Bozel S.A.'s exclusive
periods to file and solicit acceptances for the proposed plan of
reorganization until April 1, 2011; and June 1, respectively.

Bozel SA is a mineral mining company based in Luxembourg.  Bozel
S.A. sought bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-11802) on April 6,
2010, in Manhattan New York.  William F. Savino, Esq., Daniel F.
Brown, Esq., and Beth Ann Bivona, Esq., at Damon Morey LLP in
Buffalo, N.Y., represent the Debtor in the Chapter 11 case.  BDO
Consulting is the financial advisor.  The Debtor estimated assets
and debts at $50 million to $100 million.


BRANCH BANKING: B Support Floor Rating Remains on Watch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the long-term and short-term IDRs of
BB&T Corporation and its bank subsidiary, Branch Banking & Trust
Company, at 'A+' and 'F1', respectively.  The Rating Outlook has
been revised to Stable from Negative.

The affirmation reflects that BB&T's strong fundamentals remain
intact despite increased credit pressure that has caused
performance metrics to trend lower.  BB&T's ratings are supported
by the strength of its significant regional franchise, which spans
the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states, as well as the company's
good liquidity position and solid core funding base.  The
company's capital position is considered sound with a tangible
common equity ratio and a Tier 1 common ratio of 7% and 9%,
respectively.  Also considered in the affirmation were BB&T's
plans and ability to comply with Basel III liquidity and capital
standards.

Fitch recognizes that although BB&T has remained profitable
through the credit cycle, recent performance has been aided by
securities gains, and anticipates that the company will continue
to be negatively affected by ongoing credit stress over the course
of the next several quarters, as the still weak economic
environment will keep the level of problem credits and credit
losses elevated.  However, Fitch expects that BB&T will be able to
manage through its current asset quality challenges despite the
difficult credit environment given it history of conservative
underwriting and the granularity of its loan portfolio.  Further,
the increase in problem assets and credit losses over the past
year were within Fitch's expectations.

BB&T's concentration in commercial real estate, an asset class
that remains under pressure, is higher than most peers at
approximately 32% of non-covered loans.  However, close to 50% of
its CRE portfolio is comprised of owner-occupied properties, which
tend to perform better than non-owner occupied, as evidenced by
annualized loss rates for BB&T's owner-occupied CRE portfolio
below 2% versus those for the company's problematic Residential
Acquisition, Development and Construction portfolio and other non-
owner occupied CRE approaching 15% and 6%, respectively.

The Stable Outlook considers that BB&T's performance will remain
hampered by continued credit pressure and the prospect that asset
quality and earnings performance could still worsen significantly
given Fitch's expectation for higher loss rates across various
loan categories, particularly for CRE, residential mortgage and
home equity.  However, Fitch believes that BB&T has the financial
wherewithal in terms of pre-provision net revenue, reserves, and
capital, to absorb added credit stress.  Nonetheless, should
BB&T's credit quality deteriorate substantially with losses
approaching levels incorporated in Fitch's stress scenarios, a
downgrade of the rating could still occur.  Also, given that
BB&T's ratings are near the top end of the industry, the company's
ratings would be negatively affected should its core earnings
regress or show signs of prolonged weakness.  That said, problem
assets and credit losses are expected to remain at manageable
levels.  Further, while Fitch has concerns about the company's
real estate exposure, BB&T has been successful reducing its
levels, particularly its exposure to the more problematic ADC
portfolio through a recently implemented asset disposition
strategy.

Separately, Fitch expects that BB&T will use its relative position
of strength in the banking sector to pursue acquisitions as the
industry consolidates.  While Fitch would evaluate any acquisition
on its individual merits, a large acquisition could result in
negative ratings pressure.

BB&T is among the largest banking companies in the U.S. with
approximately $157 billion in assets and 1,800 branches, spanning
the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states.  The company's operations
also include a sizeable insurance agency franchise, as well as an
investment banking company and a national finance company.

These ratings have been affirmed and the Outlook revised to
Stable:

BB&T Corporation

  -- Long-term IDR at 'A+';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F1';
  -- Senior Debt at 'A+';
  -- Subordinated debt at 'A';
  -- Short-term debt at 'F1';
  -- Individual at 'B';
  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support Floor at 'NF'.

  -- Long-term IDR at 'A+';

  -- Subordinated debt at 'A';
  -- Short-term debt at 'F1';

  -- Individual at B;

BB&T Capital Trust I
BB&T Capital Trust II
BB&T Capital Trust IV

  -- Support Floor at 'B'.

BROADSTRIPE LLC: Committee May Sue Critical Vendors Secretly
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Broadstripe LLC received approval from the bankruptcy
court of a settlement with the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors in connection with the Committee's request to pursue
preference suits.

According to Mr. Rochelle, Broadstripe initially opposed the
Committee's request for authority to file lawsuits to recover
payments made by the Debtor within 90 days of bankruptcy.  The
Debtor performed an analysis on whether suppliers had complete or
partial defenses.  According to the company, the committee's list
of potential preference defendants had four times as many targets
and 20 times as much in amount of preferences.  Broadstripe said
it was amenable to allowing the committee to sue for preferences,
although not against customers and suppliers that have valid
defenses.

According to the report, under the agreed arrangement, the
Creditors Committee can pursue preference suits, provided that the
resulting legal expense may be paid only from preference
recoveries.  The Committee can't charge litigation expenses
against the lenders' cash collateral or seek payment from secured
funding provided for the Chapter 11 case.

In addition, according to the report, Broadstripe has the right to
designate a preference defendant as a critical supplier.  Any
preference suits against suppliers will be kept secret until the
earlier of a sale of the business, the implementation of a plan of
reorganization, or June 30.

BROADSTRIPE LLC: Hearing on Key Settlement on December 28

reports that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court scheduled a Dec. 28 hearing
on Broadstripe LLC's settlement that removes obstacles to
confirmation of its Chapter 11 plan negotiated with first and
second lien lenders prepetition.  Broadstripe had requested a
December 13 hearing on the settlement.

As reported in the Dec. 15, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company

Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the prepetition secured
creditors.

settles $160 million in claims pursued by rival cable operators --
James Cable LLC and WaveDivision Holdings LLC -- based on alleged
failures to complete asset purchase agreements.  Under the
settlement:

   -- Secured lenders will be allowed to bid their claims
      rather than cash at a sale of the business.

   -- The lenders will create a fund with $3.3 million toward

      won't take any part of the fund because of their deficiency
      claims.

      for their work on the lawsuit, agreed to accept $500,000 in
      satisfaction of their fees.

C&D TECHNOLOGIES: Incurs $6.45-Mil. Net Loss in Oct. 31 Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
C&D Technologies Inc. reported a net loss of $6.45 million on
$87.62 million of net sales for three months ended Oct. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $3.44 million on $91.21 million of net
sales in the same period in 2009.

Net loss was $62.73 million in the nine months ended Oct. 31,
2010, compared with $18.81 million in the same period in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 31, 2010, showed
$250.37 million in assets, $265.79 million in liabilities and
stockholders' deficit of $15.42 million.

In an earnings release, the Company noted that the revenues of
$87.6 million for the quarter is up sequentially from
$83.8 million in the second quarter of this fiscal year and the
highest quarterly revenues this fiscal year.

With respect to the net loss of $6.4 million, the Company noted,
"Excluding $1.8 million restructuring charges related to the
previously announced closure of our Leola, PA manufacturing
facility and professional fees associated with our
recapitalization efforts of $1.3 million, the net loss in the
quarter would have been $3.4 million.  This compared to an
adjusted net loss of $4.9 million in this year's second quarter
and a GAAP loss of $3.4 million in the comparable year ago quarter
when there were no non-operational charges similar to those
expensed in the second and third quarter of this year."

Dr. Jeffrey A. Graves, President and CEO, said, "The global
strength of the C & D brand was demonstrated this quarter.
Despite extremely challenging circumstances, we achieved our best
revenue quarter of the fiscal year, a better than one book-to-bill
ratio, and enter the fourth quarter with a stronger backlog than
we have seen for a considerable time.  Revenues in the quarter
reflect sequential volume growth, driven by strong performance in
Asia, a rebound in Europe, as well as the success of our new
products, offset by the ongoing weakness in the North American
large Uninterruptible Power Supply market.  In addition, we
continue to make progress improving operations, although large UPS
volumes are weighing on margins and in managing Selling and
Administrative costs.  We generated over $3.5 million of adjusted
EBITDA in the quarter through these efforts.  Market uncertainties
arising from our capital structure were certainly a factor on our
business during this period, especially early in the quarter.
But, these have largely been overcome on the strength of our deep
customer relationships, our effective and ongoing communications
with the market, and the steady progress of our restructuring
efforts.  With the market focused on value for price, C & D
Technologies is benefitting from its industry leading reputation
for providing the best-performing, highest-quality, most reliable
and dependable energy storage solutions available to our markets."

Dr. Graves concluded, "We are making progress with our capital
restructuring efforts, which are required to address our capital
structure challenges.  As those activities proceed, our many
dedicated employees remain focused on improving operations to more
efficiently and effectively meet global energy storage needs, and
for that, I am proud of all of our loyal employees.  For over 100
years C & D Technologies has endured various business and economic
cycles, and we are committed to continuing that legacy well into

               Restructuring Support Agreement

On September 14, 2010, the Company entered into a restructuring
support agreement with two convertible noteholders who together as
of the date of the RSA held approximately 56% of the aggregate
principal amount of the 2005 Notes and the 2006 Notes.  The
Supporting Noteholders have agreed to a proposed restructuring of
the 2005 Notes and the 2006 Notes which will be effected through
(i) an offer to exchange the outstanding 2005 Notes and 2006 Notes
for up to 95% of the Company's common stock, or (ii) a prepackaged
plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.

The RSA may be terminated by the Supporting Noteholders upon the
Company's failure to consummate the Exchange Offer and/or the
Prepackaged Plan on or prior to February 28, 2011.

                         Exchange Offer

Pursuant to the RSA, the Company has launched an offer to exchange
its outstanding 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 and 5.50%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 for up to 95% of the outstanding
shares of the Company's common stock in the aggregate following
consummation of the exchange offers.  The Company is
simultaneously soliciting holders of the Notes and the existing
holders of Common Stock to approve a prepackaged plan of
reorganization as an alternative to the exchange offer.

The exchange offers and the solicitation period for acceptances
under the prepackaged plan of reorganization expires 11:59 PM EST
on Monday, December 20, 2010.

If the restructuring is accomplished through the exchange offers,
the holders of Notes will receive their pro rata share of up to
95% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following the
consummation of the exchange offers and the existing stockholders
of the Company will hold at least 5%, and up to 9.75% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock following the consummation of
the exchange offers.

If the restructuring is accomplished through the prepackaged plan
of reorganization, 100% of the Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest, will be cancelled, and holders of Notes will receive
their pro rata share of either (i) 95% of the common stock of the
Company issued under the prepackaged plan, if the Shareholder
Exchange Consent is obtained or (ii) 97.5% of the New Common
Stock, subject to dilution by any issuance made pursuant to
certain shareholder warrants to purchase 5.0% of the Common Stock,
if the Shareholder Exchange Consent is not obtained.

If the restructuring is accomplished through the prepackaged plan
of reorganization, 100% of the Common Stock will be cancelled, and
holders of Common Stock will receive their pro rata share of
either (i) 5% of the New Common Stock, if the Company's
stockholders approve the Shareholder Exchange Consent or (ii) (x)
2.5% of the New Common Stock and (y) Shareholder Warrants, if the
Company's stockholders do not approve the Shareholder Exchange
Consent.

C&D Technologies has elected not to make a semi-annual interest
payment due on its 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 on
November 1, 2010.


C&S GROUP: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'Ba3'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed C&S Group Enterprises LLC's Ba3
Corporate Family and Probability of Default ratings and B2 senior
secured note rating following an announcement by The Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company that A&P filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy.  A&P is one of C&S' largest customers and currently
accounts for about 20% of C&S's annual revenue.

                        Ratings Rationale

The affirmation is based on Moody's opinion that bankruptcy filing
of The A&P will not likely result in the material loss of revenue,
cash flow or operating profit in the near-term.  C&S supplies the
majority of A&P's inventory and Moody's expects C&S will be a
preferred vendor to A&P post bankruptcy.  Additionally, C&S's
unsecured credit exposure to A&P is not expected to be material as
the company's trade terms to A&P are already tight.  C&S's Ba3
Corporate Family Rating continues to reflect the company's leading
position in a highly fragmented industry, good liquidity, and
moderate leverage.  Debt/EBITDA for the 12-month period ended
September 25, 2010, was 4.0 times.

The outlook revision to negative acknowledges the longer term
uncertainty associated with the bankruptcy of one of C&S's largest
customers, particularly with respect to possible store closings,
the renegotiation of the current vendor contract with C&S, and
other possible actions taken by A&P that could reduce C&S's sales
volume and profitability.  A material loss of revenue or negative
impact on cash flow from serviced stores due to closures or
divestitures related to the A&P bankruptcy or loss of any
additional material customer could result in a downgrade.
Quantitatively, ratings could be lowered if EBITA/interest falls
below 1.75 times or debt/EBITDA remains above 4.75 times.

The outlook could be revised back to stable if it appears that
sales volume , profitability, and credit metrics will not be
materially affected by A&P's bankruptcy over the longer-term.  A
higher rating, however, is not likely in the foreseeable future
given the longer-term uncertainty surrounding A&P's bankruptcy
filing.  A higher rating would likely require a more stable
operating environment, a continuation of current business volumes,
EBITA/interest of 2.0 times, and debt/EBITDA of 4.0 times.

Ratings affirmed and LGD point estimates revised where applicable:

  -- Corporate Family Rating at Ba3

  -- Probability of Default Rating at Ba3

  -- $300 million senior secured guaranteed notes due 2017 at B2
     (LGD 5, 86%)

C&S Group Enterprises LLC, issuer of the rated debt, is a
financing subsidiary of C&S Wholesale Grocers Inc. and four
affiliated operating companies.  C&S Wholesale Grocers is a
distributor of groceries to food retailers in the U.S.
Consolidated revenues of C&S Issuer Group are approximately
$19 billion.

The last rating action for C&S was on April 12, 2010, when its
Corporate Family Rating of Ba3 was assigned for the first time.


CAPITAL AUTOMOTIVE: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Ratings at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit ratings on Capital Automotive LLC and Capital Automotive
L.P.  S&P also affirmed its 'B' rating and maintained its '3'
recovery rating on Capital Automotive L.P.'s senior secured debt
issues.

"Our ratings on CARS reflect the company's highly aggressive debt
leverage, the risks posed by a large debt maturity in late 2012,
and the encumbered, single-purpose nature of its asset base," said
credit analyst Scott Sprinzen.  "However, the company's credit
profile benefits from the relatively stable nature of its
revenues, which are derived principally from rental income from
its auto dealership properties, and CARS' recently-bolstered cash
position, which is now large relative to near-term cash
requirements."

Over the one-year period that S&P's outlook addresses, CARS' auto
dealer tenants should benefit from improving U.S. light vehicle
sales, enabling them to sustain relatively strong rent coverage
measures and thereby support CARS' rental income.  In the wake of
recently completed financial transactions, CARS' should have ample
liquidity to meet near-term operating requirements, were there to
be any deterioration in its operating cash flow -- contrary to
S&P's current expectations.  Still, the $1.4 billion term debt
maturity in December 2012 is looming large, and unless the company
develops a refinancing plan in coming quarters, S&P could
eventually lower S&P's corporate credit rating.  On the other
hand, if CARS implements a recapitalization plan that involves
significant delevering of its capital structure, an upgrade could
result.

CAVTEL HOLDINGS: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B3'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the corporate family rating of
CavTel Holdings LLC to B3 with a stable outlook from Caa2
following completion of the acquisition of CavTel's parent,
Cavalier Telephone Corporation by PAETEC Holding Corp.
(B2/Negative) on December 6, 2010.  The ratings upgrade reflects
Moody's view that the acquisition of Cavalier by PAETEC enhances
CavTel's standalone credit profile.  The magnitude of the rating's
lift has been capped at two notches based on Moody's practice to
rating non-guaranteed subsidiaries.  Concurrent with this rating
action, Moody's upgraded the various instrument ratings of CavTel
pursuant to Moody's loss-given-default methodology and as listed
below.  Finally, Moody's said it will withdraw all ratings for
CavTel as PAETEC has repaid the CavTel bank facilities.  This
concludes the ratings review commenced when the acquisition
agreement between PAETEC and Cavalier was announced in September
2010.

The rating review has concluded:

Upgrades:

Issuer: CavTel Holdings LLC

  -- CFR, Upgraded to B3 from Caa2

  -- PDR, Upgraded to B3 from Caa3

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Rating, Upgraded to B3
     (LGD 3-49%) from Caa2 (LGD3-34%),

The rating outlook is stable.

                        Ratings Rationale

Moody's most recent rating action on CavTel Holdings LLC was on
September 13, 2010, when the ratings were put on review for
upgrade pending the PAETEC acquisition.

PAETEC is a CLEC headquartered in Fairport, NY.  The company
generated nearly $1.6 billion in revenues in 2009.

Richmond, Virginia based Cavalier is a competitive local exchange
carrier, which generated over $400 million in revenues in 2009.


CB HOLDING: Charlie Brown's Loan Requires Sale by Jan. 24
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that CB Holding Corp. received final approval for a
$2.5 million loan coupled with a settlement where secured lenders
will carve out a portion of asset-sale proceeds for benefit of the
company and unsecured creditors.

According to the report, secured lenders -- owed $70.2 million on
a term loan and revolving credit -- agreed that $125,000 plus 5%
of net proceeds from the sale of seven The Office stores will go
to the company and its unsecured creditors.  The lenders can't
receive any of the carveout on account of their deficiency claims.
From the sale of the remainder of the business, the company and
creditors can receive $125,000 plus 4% of proceeds of more than
$4 million.  Again, the carveout can't go toward the lenders'
deficiency claims.  From net proceeds from a pending lawsuit
against directors and officers, half will go to the company and
unsecured creditors.  On account of their deficiency claims, the
lenders can receive their pro rata portion from net recoveries
exceeding $1 million.

Mr. Rochelle adds that the DIP loan approval order sets out a
timetable for selling the business.  There must be a purchase
agreement for The Office stores by December 14.  For the remainder
of the stores, the court must approve auction procedures by
Dec. 22, with an auction by Jan. 24 and a sale-approval hearing by
Feb. 3.

CHICKLET BOOKS: To Close Doors by End of December
-------------------------------------------------
Judith Rosen at Publishers Weekly reports that New Jersey-based
book boutique Chicklet Books will close at the end of the year.

Publishers Weekly relates that owner Deb Hunter in August closed
Chicklet's sister store, Glen Echo used bookstore on Nassau
Street, and moved it into the 10,000 sq. ft. shopping center
space.  "I would have done it the other way around if I had known
I would lose my lease," Ms. Hunter said, according to Publishers
Weekly.

Although Ms. Hunter would like to stay in the mall or to move to
an affordable location -- she has been contacted by several
landlords -- that doesn't seem likely, says Publishers Weekly.

"It would require an instant influx of cash to afford the rents,
or a landlord needing a tax write off," Publishers Weekly quoted
Ms. Hunter as saying.  "I don't see either of those happening in
the next few weeks, so we will close down completely."

Ms. Hunter is in the midst of liquidating inventory, both books
and DVDS, as well as fixtures, Publishers Weekly added.

Chicklet Books is "the fun and funky book boutique" in the
Princeton Shopping Center in Princeton, N.J.

CINCINNATI BELL: Board Approves Long-Term Incentive Program
-----------------------------------------------------------
On December 7, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Cincinnati Bell Inc. approved a new long-term
incentive program to be implemented under the Company's 2007 Long
Term Incentive Plan.

The Incentive Program is primarily intended to:

     i) encourage rapid and profitable growth of revenue and
        earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
        amortization in the Technology Solutions segment of the
        Company's business,

    ii) create significant enterprise value through the growth of
        the TSS Business,

   iii) bring about a significant change in the strategic
        direction of the Company's business in a short time frame
        and

    iv) provide management and the Board with strategic
        flexibility.

The Incentive Program will be implemented through the grant of
performance units.  The award agreement provides for a specified
cash payment to the participating employee in the event that:

     i) the employee is continuously employed for a three year
        period after the date of grant,

    ii) specified EBITDA targets for the TSS Business are met over
        such three year period,

   iii) a "qualifying transaction" is consummated within ten years
        of the date of grant and

    iv) at least $1,000,000,000 of equity value is created in the
        TSS Business prior to the "qualifying transaction".

The Agreement also gives the Committee discretion to make
fractional payments in an amount up to, but not more than, the
base payout amount in the event there is either:

     a) a qualifying transaction before the fifth anniversary of
        the initial award grant date; or

     b) there is a qualifying transaction after the fifth
        anniversary of the initial award grant date and the equity
        value created is at least $500,000,000.

If a qualifying transaction does not occur within 10 years of the
grant date, the Agreement terminates with no payment to the
participating employee.  Moreover, if the participating employee's
employment is terminated for any reason , prior to the
consummation of a qualifying transaction, then the employee will
not receive any payment under the Agreement.  "Qualifying
transaction" includes certain sales of the TSS Business, certain
transactions that would result in the Company ceasing to own its
other businesses, and a change in control of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, no employee may receive
performance units in any calendar year with a value in excess of
$5,000,000.  While the Committee has not yet finalized specific
grants of performance units to any employee, it is expected that
the Company's named executive officers will be among the employees
who receive such grants.

CONSOLIDATED HORTICULTURE: Wins Nod for Add'l $11MM Financing
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Hines Nurseries LLC received
bankruptcy court approval Tuesday for an additional $11 million of
debtor-in-possession financing after resolving an objection by

COUDERT BROTHERS: Plan Administrator Sues Orrick
------------------------------------------------
Nate Raymond, writing for The New York Law Journal, reports that
Development Specialists Inc., the company administering Coudert
Brothers LLP's liquidation plan, has sued Orrick, Herrington &
Sutcliffe, alleging that it interfered with Coudert's business and
aided and abetted in partners' breach of their fiduciary duty.
The suit cites e-mails from Coudert and Orrick lawyers, including
Orrick's chairman Ralph Baxter, to support claims that Orrick was
scheduling breakfasts and meetings with potential lateral partner
hires while the firms were in merger talks.

According to Law Journal, the lawsuit, filed in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in the Southern District on Friday, followed a series of
actions brought by Coudert against Dechert, DLA Piper, Baker &
McKenzie and other firms seeking to recover monies for unfinished
business.  The Journal says the suit against Orrick goes a step
further, alleging that the San Francisco-based firm interfered
with Coudert's business and aided and abetted in partners' breach
of their fiduciary duty.

The Law Journal notes Orrick in a statement said that it "at all
times acted properly in hiring Coudert attorneys who voluntarily
chose to leave their former firm and affiliate with Orrick." The
firm said it "will respond more specifically" to the complaint in
court.

The Law Journal relates William Brandt Jr., the president of
Development Specialists, said while the suit does not indicate a
specific amount in damages, the total could be in the tens of
millions of dollars.  Of the other law firms sued to date, Baker &
McKenzie alone has agreed to a settlement.  The firm agreed to a
$6.65 million settlement in July.

Coudert's plan administrator is represented by David J. Adler,
Esq., at McCarter & English.

Orrick is represented by Barbra Parlin, Esq., at Holland & Knight.

CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL: Gets Nod to Use Committee's Cash Until Jan. 14
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
has granted Crystal Cathedral Ministries permission, on a final
basis, to use cash collateral of the Out of Court Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, to be used solely for the purposes and in the
amounts set forth in a cash collateral budget (for the 9 week
period ending January 14, 2011, or any succeeding cash collateral
budget to be submitted by the Committee).  The Debtor is
authorized to exceed the amounts in the Cash Collateral Budget by
as much as 115% of the budget total and savings in any month may
be carried over and used by the Debtor in subsequent months.

Within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any cash
collateral budget, the Debtor will submit to the Committee a new
budget for the next thirteen (13) weeks for the Committee's
approval.  Unless objected to by the Committee within five (5)
calendar days after receipt of the new budget, the new budget will
replace the cash collateral budget, and the Debtor will be
authorized to use the Committee's cash collateral in accordance
with the new budget, without need of further notice to creditors
or order of the Court.

As adequate protection for the Debtor's use of its cash
collateral, the Committee will be granted a replacement lien in
the Debtor's post-petition assets.

The Committee's debt is purportedly secured by a UCC-1 Financing
Statement that was recorded on or about June 10, 2010.  The
Committee's lien is held by Credit Managers Association as a
stakeholder for all unsecured creditors.

DE CORO: Court Denies IRS' Bid to Alter Service of Notice
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge William L. Stocks denied a request by the Internal Revenue
Service to alter or amend a court order approving the form and
manner of service of notice of Foreign Claims Procedure.  The
Motion to Amend seeks entry of an amended Claims Procedure Order,
in the form of a clarification of the Claims Procedure Order so
that it is apparent that it does not apply to assets of De Coro
Limited that are located within the United States.  The Motion to
Amend further states that the United States "is concerned that if
this Court's [Claims Procedure Order] pertained to [De Coro
Limited] assets within the United States, the United States could
be compelled to defend its federal tax claim in a foreign court
with respect to assets that are located within the United States."

On February 18, 2009, James Wardell and Chan Wai Dune were
appointed as the Provisional Liquidators to oversee the
administration and liquidation of De Coro Limited in insolvency
proceedings pending before the High Court of the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region Court of First Instance, Companies (Winding-
Up) No. 93 of 2009, pursuant to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance,
Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong.

De Coro Limited is a Hong Kong limited liability company formed on
December 11, 1996, and is the parent company and shareholder of
DeCoro USA, Ltd.  DeCoro USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. M.D. N.C. Case No. 09-10846) on May 12, 2009.

On February 24, 2009, the Hong Kong Court entered an amended order
appointing the Provisional Liquidators and enumerating the powers
and duties of the Provisional Liquidators vis-a-vis the winding
down of the De Coro Group.  The Appointment Order vests the
Provisional Liquidators with sole authority to administer the
winding down of Ltd. and its subsidiaries, including, without
limitation, Ltd. and USA.

The Provisional Liquidators filed a voluntary petition under
Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. M.D. N.C. Case No.
09-10369) on March 5, 2009, seeking, inter alia, recognition of
the Hong Kong Proceeding as a "foreign main proceeding" as such
term is used in Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code.

On March 11, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting
the provisional relief sought by the Provisional Liquidators. On
April 2, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the
Chapter 15 Petition, recognizing the Hong Kong Proceeding as a
foreign main proceeding, and extending certain relief to the De
Coro Group.

The IRS filed Claim Number. 4-1 in the Chapter 15 Case, asserting
a total claim of $99,764,687 against Ltd., comprised of
$84,379,425 as an unsecured priority tax claim, and an additional
$15,385,262 as a general unsecured claim.

The IRS filed Claim Number 5-1 in the Chapter 15 Case, amending
the Original Claim, and asserting a total claim of $133,990,621
against Ltd., comprised of $118,605,359 as an unsecured priority
tax claim, and an additional $15,385,262 as a general unsecured
claim.

DYNEGY INC: Accepts $665MM Icahn Buyout But Keeps Options Open
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dynegy Inc. on Wednesday said its Board of Directors has
unanimously approved a definitive agreement to be acquired by
Icahn Enterprises LP in a tender offer followed by a merger for
$5.50 per share in cash, or approximately $665 million in the
aggregate.  Dynegy has approximately $3.95 billion of outstanding
debt, net of cash.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 24, 2010,
Dynegy shareholders thumbed down the Company's proposed merger
agreement with The Blackstone Group.  The Blackstone Group had
offered to acquire Dynegy for $5.00 per share in cash.

At that time, Dynegy said it expects to immediately commence an
open strategic alternatives process to solicit proposals from
potentially interested parties and to carefully review its
standalone restructuring alternatives.

Rebecca Smith and Gina Chon, writing for The Wall Street Journal,
reported that the defeat came at the hands of activist investor
Carl Icahn and hedge fund Seneca Capital LP, which recently bought
a combined 22% stake in the company and urged others to reject
Blackstone's offer.

According to the Journal, people familiar with the matter said
Seneca was likely to make an offer of more than $6 a share, with
the participation of a partner.  Seneca said in investor
presentations that Dynegy was worth around $6.50 a share.

The Journal also reported Mr. Icahn has said he may make a bid and
a person familiar with the matter said he is willing to put in
writing an offer of a $2 billion credit facility. Mr. Icahn was
unavailable to comment.

As reported by the TCR on November 17, 2010, Dynegy rejected Mr.
Icahn's offer to help line up a credit line of up to $2 billion
for Dynegy if it runs into any financial problems should the
Blackstone merger fall through. While the non-binding Icahn credit
facility proposal would fulfill certain short-term capital needs,
Dynegy told shareholders in a statement the Icahn offer does
nothing to address the Company's long-term funding requirements.

Financial terms of that $2 billion credit line were not disclosed.
Dynegyhad noted that the terms of Mr. Icahn's facility cannot be
fully defined or finalized until well after the special
shareholders' meeting scheduled at that tie to consider the
Blackstone merger.

                         Dynegy-Icahn Deal

Under the terms of the agreement, Dynegy stockholders will receive
$5.50 in cash for each outstanding share of Dynegy common stock
they own, which is $0.50 per share or 10% higher than the previous
offer and represents a 10% premium to Dynegy's average closing
stock price over the last 30 trading days.

A wholly owned subsidiary of IEP will commence a tender offer for
all of the outstanding shares of Dynegy that they do not already
own no later than December 22, 2010.

IEP and its affiliates own approximately 9.9% of Dynegy's
outstanding shares and have previously acquired options to
purchase approximately 5% of Dynegy's outstanding shares.  IEP has
also agreed that, in certain circumstances, if a "superior" all
cash offer is made and supported by Dynegy, and IEP does not wish
to top the "superior" offer, it will support it.

                Open Strategic Alternatives Process

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Dynegy will continue its
ongoing open strategic alternatives process, during which Dynegy
will solicit superior proposals until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on
January 24, 2011.  Prior to the execution of the merger agreement,
Dynegy's financial advisors had already commenced soliciting
interest from a significant number of strategic and financial
buyers, and other interested third parties are invited to contact
Dynegy's financial advisors.  It is not anticipated that any
developments will be disclosed with regard to this process unless
Dynegy's Board of Directors makes a decision with respect to any
potential superior proposal.  There are no guarantees that this
process will result in a superior proposal. The Special Committee
of Dynegy's Board will continue to oversee the open strategic
alternatives process.

Bruce A. Williamson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Dynegy Inc., said, "We believe the IEP offer, coupled
with our continued ability to solicit superior proposals and the
commitment of IEP to support a company accepted all cash offer for
100% of the Company, is a very positive outcome for all Dynegy
stockholders."

Carl C. Icahn stated: "All stockholders should benefit from the
auction process which has now begun at a price which is 10% higher
than the last bid."

                        Closing Conditions

Completion of the transaction is conditioned on, among other
things, satisfaction of the minimum tender condition that at the
close of the tender offer, IEP and its affiliates own at least 50%
of Dynegy's shares and receipt of regulatory approvals. Following
receipt of the minimum condition, a merger will be effected so
that a subsidiary of IEP will be merged into Dynegy and holders of
Dynegy's outstanding common stock will receive $5.50 per share,
subject to appraisal rights. In the event the minimum condition is
not met, and in certain other circumstances, the parties have
agreed to complete the transaction through a one-step merger after
receipt of stockholder approval. If no superior proposal is
received during the open strategic alternatives process and the
tender offer is successfully completed, Dynegy expects the
transaction to close in the first quarter of 2011.

                            Advisors

Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Greenhill & Co., LLC are serving as
financial advisors and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP is serving as legal
counsel to Dynegy.

                      About Icahn Enterprises

Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NYSE: IEP), a master limited partnership,
is a diversified holding company engaged in seven primary business
segments: Investment Management, Automotive, Railcar, Food
Packaging, Metals, Real Estate and Home Fashion.

                        About Dynegy Inc.

Through its subsidiaries, Houston, Texas-based Dynegy Inc.
(NYSE:DYN) -- http://www.dynegy.com/-- produces and sells
electric energy, capacity and ancillary services in key U.S.
markets.  The power generation portfolio consists of approximately
12,200 megawatts of baseload, intermediate and peaking power
plants fueled by a mix of natural gas, coal and fuel oil.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 26, 2010,
Fitch Ratings downgraded the ratings of Dynegy Inc. and its
subsidiaries: Dynegy Inc. Issuer Default Rating to 'CCC' from
'B-'; Dynegy Holdings, Inc. IDR to 'CCC' from 'B-'; Secured bank
credit facilities and notes to 'B+/RR1' from BB-/RR1; Senior
unsecured to 'CCC/RR4' from 'B/RR3'; and Dynegy Capital Trust I
preferred to 'C/RR6' from 'CCC/RR6'.

The downgrade reflects Fitch's belief that the rejection of The
Blackstone Group's bid to acquire Dynegy for $5/share will likely
lead to another transaction and capital restructuring by Dynegy's
management as activist stockholders seek to maximize shareholder
values.  The downgrade also reflects the underperformance of
Dynegy's merchant generation operations.  There is a high
correlation ofDynegy's future financial performance to improvement
in power prices, shrinkage in the reserve capacity margins in the
wholesale markets Dynegy owns and operates its generating plants,
and improvement in electricity demand.

In October 2010, Moody's Investors Service lowered the ratings of
Dynegy Holdings, including its Corporate Family Rating, to Caa1
from B3 along with the ratings of various affiliates or parent
company Dynegy Inc.  The rating outlook for DHI and Dynegy remains
negative.  The rating action followed the expiration of the 40-day
"go shop" period, according to Moody's, increasing the probability
that Dynegy will be acquired by an affiliate of The Blackstone
Group L.P. in a transaction valued at approximately $4.7 billion,
including the assumption of existing debt.  Moody's said Dynegy's
financial profile is expected to be quite fragile, particularly
during 2011 and 2012, when the company is projected to generate
both negative operating cash flow and negative free cash flow due
to weak operating margins and the required funding of their
capital investment programs.  To the extent that the transactions
with Blackstone and NRG are not completed, Moody's said downward
rating pressure at DHI and Dynegy will continue to exist given the
weak financial prospects for the company over the next few years
coupled with the liquidity concerns.

EASTMAN KODAK: Fitch Gives Stable Outlook for Industry in 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has published its annual outlook on the U.S.
Technology sector.  The report titled '2011 Outlook: U.S.
Technology' gives an overview of Technology sub-sectors hardware,
IT services, semi-conductors, distributors, and electronic
manufacturing services, among others.

Fitch has a Stable Outlook on the U.S. Technology sector for 2011.
Fitch expects global Information Technology spending in 2011 to
exceed worldwide GDP with mid-single digit growth driven by
emerging markets, continued commercial refresh of PC's and
servers, and increased demand for storage, analytics and
virtualization products.  Operating profitability should continue
to improve as cost reduction initiatives result in positive
operating leverage.  Fitch expects higher growth will be mitigated
by a pressured public sector, normalized supply chain demand with
minimal benefit from inventory replenishment, and potential
pricing pressures from the increasing overlap of product offerings
by the largest IT companies.

Given the general fragility of the economy, Fitch believes there
is limited upside ratings potential for the overall sector outside
of companies already on positive outlook.  Nonetheless, the
majority of investment grade IT companies have material amounts of
liquidity, as well as debt capacity at existing ratings.  The
biggest concern heading into 2011 is the risk IT companies use up
this liquidity and capacity (via shareholder returns and/or
exorbitant M&A premiums) on the heels of an economic downturn.
This concern is mitigated by the sectors' historically
conservative stance towards leverage and shareholder returns.

The stable outlook takes into account Fitch's belief that the
sector has adequate capacity to withstand an unforeseen downturn
in the economy.  The consistency and rational behavior of the
supply chain served the industry well during challenging economic
and industry conditions, and Fitch expects similar behavior will
continue to benefit the industry in 2011.

Key Themes and Concerns of Fitch's IT Outlook:

  -- Heading into 2011, the Investment Grade Technology sector is
     marked by strong liquidity and, in many cases, debt capacity
     at existing ratings. As such, Fitch believes these Investment
     Grade Technology companies could withstand a double-dip
     recession and still maintain existing ratings. The high-yield
     technology sector for the most part does not benefit from
     this flexibility as companies, including First Data and
     Freescale, would likely not be able to withstand another
     pullback in the economy.

  -- Fitch expects M&A activity to continue to be robust in 2011
     led by the continued push for end-to-end enterprise solutions
     and the need to solidify market positions in higher growth
     areas within the IT industry, such as storage and security.
     Positively, most M&A activity will likely be in the moderate
     range ($3 billion and below) and to be at least partially
     funded with cash.  Shareholder demands have been very limited
     over the last year And Fitch expects companies with large
     cash balances but working capital deficits (i.e., A/R and
     Inventory less A/P and Deferred Revenues) will continue to
     take a measured approach to share repurchases, dividends, and
     M&A.

  -- Pricing pressures and limited demand visibility are likely to
     continue for the foreseeable future.  Further, Fitch expects
     fiscal issues related to the public sector will worsen over
     the course of 2011 and therefore could dampen intermediate
     term growth.

  -- LBO risk will continue to garner headlines as many companies
     trade at low multiples relative to prior years.  However, the
     fallout of deals related to Fidelity National and Seagate
     over the last nine months could point to a more conservative
     stance for now by lenders and equity sponsors towards the
     pricing pressures and hyper-cyclical nature of the IT sector.

  -- The consumer shift to tablets and smart phones will likely be
     at the expense of traditional personal computers and
     printers.  This could result in elongated lifecycles for

The Debtor previously obtained approval to sell its real property

the funds.

FANNIE MAE: Fitch Affirms Preferred Stock Rating at 'C/RR6'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the long-term Issuer Default Ratings,
senior debt ratings and short-term IDRs of Fannie Mae at 'AAA' and
'F1+', respectively.  In addition, Fannie's Support Rating of '1'
and Support Floor of 'AAA' have also been affirmed.  The Rating
Outlook remains Stable.

Fannie's 'AAA/F1+' senior debt ratings, along with its 'AA-'
subordinated debt ratings, are indicative of strong U.S.
government support.  Fitch currently has a sovereign credit rating
of 'AAA/F1+', with a Stable Outlook on the U.S. federal
government.  As of Sept. 30, 2010, the U.S. Treasury has made
capital injections totalling $85.1 billion into Fannie since it
was placed into conservatorship in September 2008.  In addition,
the Federal Reserve held $1.1 trillion of Agency mortgage backed
securities and $154.1 billion of direct debt issued by government-
sponsored enterprises as of Sept. 30, 2010.

The GSEs continue to play a pivotal role in the federal
government's plan to support the housing market.  Through the
first nine months of 2010, Fannie was the largest issuer of
mortgage-related securities in the secondary market, with an
estimated market share of new single family mortgage-related
securities of approximately 45%.  The GSEs have played leadership
roles in implementing and maintaining the government's Making Home
Affordable plan as well as other important initiatives.
Therefore, Fitch believes that government support will remain
unquestioned while the GSEs are in conservatorship and a clear
exit strategy has not been articulated.  Fannie's ratings or
Outlook could be negatively affected if Fitch were to lower its
ratings or Outlook on the U.S. government or if Fitch believes the
future level of government support for Fannie will change.

Fitch has also affirmed Fannie's preferred stock ratings at
'C/RR6', reflecting the ongoing deferral of payments and very low
prospects for recovery.

Fitch has affirmed these ratings with a Stable Outlook:

Fannie Mae

  -- Long-term IDR at 'AAA';
  -- Senior unsecured at 'AAA';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F1+';
  -- Short-term debt at 'F1+';
  -- Subordinated debt at 'AA-';
  -- Preferred stock at 'C/RR6';
  -- Support rating at '1';
  -- Support floor at 'AAA'.


FRAMINGHAM ACQUISITION: McLaughlin & Co. to Auction Building
------------------------------------------------------------
A December 13 report by MetroWest Daily News said that McLaughlin
& Co. Auctioneers LLC has moved the auction sale of the Arcade
Building at 101-117 Concord St., in Framingham, Massachusetts, to
Thursday at 2 p.m.  The building is being sold as part of
foreclosure proceedings.

According to the report, the property was planned to be
transformed as part of Framingham Acquisition's $60 million mixed-
use redevelopment project, which was permitted by the Planning
Board in 2004.  The project never came to fruition.

Mortgage-holder First Trade Union Bank plans to separately sell
two condo units and the rest of the block building, which is home
to CVS/Pharmacy, Limey's Pub and other tenants, says MetroWest.

Based in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Framingham Acquisition LLC
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on June 18, 2009 (Bankr. D.
Mass. Case No. 09-15662).  Judge Frank J. Bailey precedes the
case.  Melvin S. Hoffman, Esq., at Looney & Grossman, represents
the Debtor.  The Debtor estimated assets and debts of between
$1 million and $10 million in its petition.


FREDDIE MAC: Fitch Affirms Preferred Stock Rating at 'C/RR6'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the long-term Issuer Default Ratings,
senior debt ratings and short-term IDRs of Freddie Mac at 'AAA'
and 'F1+', respectively.  In addition, Freddie's Support Rating of
'1' and Support Floor of 'AAA' have also been affirmed.  The
Rating Outlook remains Stable.

Freddie's 'AAA/F1+' senior debt ratings, along with its 'AA-'
subordinated debt ratings, are indicative of strong U.S.
government support.  Fitch currently has a sovereign credit rating
of 'AAA/F1+', with a Stable Outlook on the U.S. federal
government.  As of Sept. 30, 2010, the U.S. Treasury has made
capital injections totalling $63.1 billion into Freddie since it
was placed into conservatorship in September 2008.  In addition,
the Federal Reserve held $1.1 trillion of Agency mortgage backed
securities and $154.1 billion of direct debt issued by government-
sponsored enterprises as of Sept. 30, 2010.

The GSEs continue to play a pivotal role in the federal
government's plan to support the housing market.  Through the
first nine months of 2010, Freddie was the second-largest issuer
of mortgage-related securities in the secondary market.  The GSEs
have played leadership roles in implementing and maintaining the
government's Making Home Affordable plan as well as other
important initiatives.  Therefore, Fitch believes that government
support will remain unquestioned while the GSEs are in
conservatorship and a clear exit strategy has not been
articulated.  Freddie's ratings or Outlook could be negatively
affected if Fitch were to lower its ratings or Outlook on the U.S.
government or if Fitch believes the future level of government
support for Freddie will change.

Fitch has also affirmed Freddie's preferred stock ratings at
'C/RR6', reflecting the ongoing deferral of payments and very low
prospects for recovery.

Fitch has affirmed these ratings with a Stable Outlook:

Freddie Mac

  -- Long-term IDR at 'AAA';
  -- Senior unsecured at 'AAA';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F1+';
  -- Short-term debt at 'F1+';
  -- Subordinated Debt at 'AA-';
  -- Preferred stock at 'C/RR6';
  -- Support rating at '1';
  -- Support floor at 'AAA'.

Before the Petition Date, the Debtors began the process of
reviewing and analyzing all of their contractual obligations so
as to identify the contracts and leases that are burdensome to
their estates and may be rejected pursuant to Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

As of December 12, 2010, the Debtors have identified 73 "dark
store" leases, where they have ceased ongoing operations and have
been unable to sublease, assign, or terminate the relevant
leases.  A schedule of the leases may be accessed for free at:

   http://bankrupt.com/misc/AP_Rejection_Schedule1.pdf

"These leases represent an unnecessary expense to the estates,
contribute no value to the Debtors' balance sheet, and will cost
the Debtors tens of millions of dollars of accrued actual costs
in fiscal year 2011 alone with the full economic impact on the
estate potentially even more dramatic," asserts Paul M. Basta,
Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York.

Moreover, in most instances, the Debtors have physically vacated
the properties, and surrendered the keys to those counterparties
through unilateral key surrender or after eviction proceedings,
entry of consent judgments, or entry into mutual surrender
agreements, thereby affording the appropriate Counterparties the
ability to re-let the premises, Mr. Basta explains.

To provide the Counterparties with sufficient notice of the
Debtors' intent to reject the Dark Store Leases and to facilitate
the rejection of any agreements, the Debtors have devised these
Rejection Procedures:

    a. Within three business days of the entry of the Order, the
       Debtors will serve a notice to each Counterparty, setting
       forth: (i) the street address of the real property
       underlying the lease; (ii) the Debtors' monthly payment
       obligation, if any, under the lease; (iii) the remaining
       term of the lease; (iv) the name and address of the
       landlord; (v) a general description of the terms of the
       lease; and (vi) a disclosure describing the procedures
       for filing objections.

    b. Objections to the proposed rejection by the Debtors of a
       lease must be written and filed and served no later than
       15 calendar days after the date the Debtors serve the
       Notice.

    c. If a timely objection is filed that cannot be resolved,
       the Court will schedule a hearing to consider the
       objection only with respect to the rejection of any lease
       as to which an objection is properly filed and served.
       If the Court upholds the objection, and the subject of
       the objection is the proper effective date of rejection,
       and the Court determines the effective date of rejection
       of the lease, that date will be the rejection date.  If
       the objection is overruled or withdrawn or the Court does
       not determine the date of rejection, the rejection date
       of the lease will be deemed to have occurred on the
       Rejection Date.

    d. Absent an objection being filed, the Debtors' proposed
       rejection of the lease will become effective as of
       December 12, 2010, without further notice, hearing or
       order of the Court.

    e. If the Debtors have deposited amounts with a lessor as a
       security deposit or other arrangement, the lessor may not
       set off or otherwise use the deposit without the prior
       authority of the Court.

"Leases such as the Dark Store Leases, where the Debtors are not
operating stores or planning to do so in the near term, are the
epitome of burdensome nonresidential real property leases," Mr.
Basta contends.

Accordingly, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to reject the
Dark Store Leases pursuant to their proposed Rejection
Procedures.

GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: Safeway, et al., May Bid for Stores
-------------------------------------------------------------
Safeway, Food Lion and the Dutch company that owns Stop & Shop
are among the likely bidders for some of The Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Company, Inc.'s stores, reports Sarah Portlock of The
Star-Ledger.

The report notes that real estate holdings will be a big factor
in A&P's reorganization as the Company is expected to sell some
of its valuable real estate properties as it reorganizes.

These are "tools . . . for them to work with their financial
advisers and attorneys to try to put together a plan of
reorganization," the report quotes David Gordon, a commercial
real estate lawyer with the Woodbridge firm Wilentz, Goldman and
Spitzer, as saying.

Retail broker Chuck Lanyard, president of the Goldstein Group in
Paramus, said his firm recently began handling some of the A&P's
listings.  "Many of these locations are in good, solid
neighborhood locations, which makes them desirable," he said. "I
can see that by the activity we're handling."

Mr. Stone said the future of these properties could go three ways
-- competitors or other types of grocers could snatch up the
spaces; the spaces could go to retailers who don't compete with
grocers but need large spaces, like electronics or discount
stores; or an investor could come in and reposition a property to
attract other types of tenants, relates the report.  It will be
difficult to determine each property's value because every
scenario is unique, he added.

A&P spokeswoman Lauren LaBruno declined to comment on the
specifics of the company's real estate decisions, but it said it
is evaluating its options.  "We continually analyze our store
portfolio and business and will do so under Chapter 11," Ms.
LaBruno was quoted by The Star-Ledger as saying.

Citi analyst Susan Anderson said in a research note that Royal
Ahold, which operates Stop & Shop markets, and Delhaize Group,
which operates Food Lion, may be contenders for some of the
company's valuable real estate, notes the report, adding that
Safeway may also look to acquire some of A&P's stores to
complement its Genuardi's business in the Northeast.

GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: Citigroup Lowers Rating to 'Sell'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Citigroup has downgraded its rating on The Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Company, Inc., to "sell" from "hold," according to
The Wall Street Journal's Shira Ovide.

Citigroup had a $3 price target on A&P, says the report.  The
stock price ended trading on Friday at 93 cents amid reports that
the supermarket chain was prepping a bankruptcy filing.

The Journal relates that Citigroup said A&P's Chapter 11 filing
"could be good for the food retail industry if it accelerates
consolidation in a heavily saturated food retail market."

According to Citigroup, Ahold's Stop & Shop grocery chain has the
most store overlap with A&P's stores, followed by SuperValu,
notes the Journal.

GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: NYSE Suspends Trading of Stock, Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------------
NYSE Regulation, Inc. announced December 13 that it determined
that the common stock of The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company, Inc. -- ticker symbol GAP -- as well as its 9 3/8% Senior
Quarterly Interest Bonds due August 1, 2039 (QUIBS) -- ticker
symbol GAJ -- should be suspended immediately.

NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer
suitable for listing.  This decision was reached in view of the
Company's December 12, 2010 announcement that it has filed a
voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
with the U.S Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York.

NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the timing and
outcome of the bankruptcy process, as well as the ultimate effect
of this process on the Company's common stockholders.  The
Company has a right to a review of this determination by a
Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation.

Applications to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist
the issues are pending the completion of applicable procedures,
including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff's
decision.  The NYSE noted that it may, at any time, suspend a
security if it believes that continued dealings
in the security on the NYSE are not advisable.


GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: Seen Using Bankr. to Close 100+ Stores
----------------------------------------------------------------
Analysts said The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. may have to
shut a quarter or more of its stores if it wants to survive,
according to a December 13, 2010 report by Reuters.

Analysts expect A&P to take a hard look at its vendor contracts,
leases and other operational costs, balance sheet and finances.

Joe Stauff, who analyzes distressed companies for Susquehanna
International Group, said the company could close more than 100
of its 395 stores.  The stores are operating under the names of
A&P, Waldbaum's, SuperFresh, Pathmark, Food Basics and The Food
Emporium in the northeastern United States.

Supermarket consultant, David Livingston of Wisconsin-based DJL
Research, said A&P "tended to overpay for everything."

"From vendors to landlords they were always an easy mark,"
Reuters quoted Mr. Livingston as saying.  "They just made one
blunder after another."

A&P, however, has some important backers including Ronald Burkle
of the Yucaipa Companies LLC who invested in the company's
preferred stock in 2009 to fund a revival.  While that investment
is likely wiped out, Mr. Burkle may hold debt positions that
could make him a significant player in the bankruptcy, Reuters
reported.

If Mr. Burkle has bought secured debt that gets paid first in a
bankruptcy, "it says he wants to be a player and wants to control
the company and do the Eddie Lampert thing," said Leah Hartman,
an analyst with Connecticut-based CRT Capital.  Ms. Hartman also
estimated up to 100 stores being closed.

Mr. Lampert is the billionaire hedge fund manager who took
control of Kmart when it emerged from bankruptcy in 2003 and
later merged it with Sears Roebuck & Co.

GREENBRIER COMPANIES: Gets $135-Mil. in New Railcar Orders
----------------------------------------------------------
The Greenbrier Companies said it has recently received orders for
2,000 new railcars with an aggregate value of approximately
$135 million.  The new orders are for covered hopper cars of
various types, which are scheduled to be delivered principally in
calendar 2011.

The orders were received in November and December, and are in
addition to the previously disclosed orders for 3,200 railcars
with an aggregate value of approximately $200 million received in
September and October, subsequent to the Company's August 31, 2010
fiscal year end.  The Company's August 31, 2010 new railcar
manufacturing backlog was 5,300 units valued at $420 million.

To support the increase in demand, the Company intends to ramp up
its production rates commencing in January 2011, and open an
additional production line late in the second calendar quarter of
2011.  Based on current production plans and scheduled delivery
dates, new railcar deliveries are expected to be significantly
higher in the second half of the current fiscal year than the
first half.

                       About Greenbrier Cos.

Based in Lake Oswego, Oregon, The Greenbrier Companies Inc.
operates in three primary business segments: manufacturing,
refurbishment and parts, and leasing and services.  The
manufacturing segment, operating from four facilities in the
United States, Mexico and Poland, produces double-stack intermodal
railcars, conventional railcars, tank cars and marine vessels.
The refurbishment & parts segment performs railcar repair,
refurbishment and maintenance activities in the United States and
Mexico.  The leasing & services segment owns roughly 8,000
railcars and provides management services for roughly 225,000
railcars.

The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 31, 2010, showed $1.0 billion
in total assets, $2.63 million in revolving notes, $181.64 million

$11.38 million in deferred revenue, $498.70 million in notes
payable, and stockholders' equity of $297.40 million

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on August 19, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service raised its Speculative Grade Liquidity
Rating for The Greenbrier Companies to SGL-3 from SGL-4.  At the
same time, Moody's affirmed the company's existing ratings,
including the corporate family rating of Caa1.  Greenbrier's
rating outlook is negative in consideration of the continued
sluggish demand for new railcars and the company's need to address
certain refinancing needs.


GREENBRIER COMPANIES: Estimates $200MM Revenue in Nov. 30 Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Greenbrier Companies announced preliminary unaudited selected
financial results for its first quarter ended November 30, 2010.
Based on the Company's initial closing for the quarter,
preliminary revenues are expected to be approximately
$200 million.  As previously disclosed, Greenbrier anticipates
reporting a net loss for the quarter.  Greenbrier currently
anticipates that the net loss will be in the range of
approximately $0.09 to $0.14 per diluted share.  These results
for the quarter are currently anticipated to include a gain of
$1.9 million on a pre-tax basis, or $1.1 million net of taxes, or
approximately $0.05 per diluted share from insurance proceeds
received by the Company associated with a fire in January 2009 at
one of the Company's wheel services facilities.  The preliminary
quarterly results announced today are subject to further review by
the Company and should be considered preliminary and subject to
change.

Greenbrier currently expects to hold its regularly scheduled
earnings conference call on January 7, 2011.  The Company
anticipates filing its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal
2011 on or before January 7, 2011.

GSC GROUP: Delays Sale Amid Negotiations With Buyer, Lenders
------------------------------------------------------------
GSC Group Inc. is delaying its proposed $235 million sale to
lender Black Diamond Capital Management LLC amid negotiations with
the other lenders that oppose the deal, according to GSC's
attorney, Dow Jones' Small Cap reports.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 3, 2010,
several investors in funds managed by GSC Group Inc. are objecting
to the sale to Black Diamond Capital Management LLC, noting that
GSC's business provides personal services which can't be sold or
assigned in bankruptcy without consent from parties receiving the
services.

Black Diamond Capital Management and its affiliate Black Diamond
Commercial Finance, LLC, as agent for a lender group, emerged --
following a three-day auction -- as winning bidder for
substantially all of the investment management business and
related assets of GSC Group.

The assets to be sold consist primarily of the assets owned, held,
or used in the Debtors' investment management business, including
debt and equity interests in partnerships, limited liability
companies and investment vehicles to which the Debtors provide
investment management services or serve as general partner,
limited partner, member or in a similar capacity.

HONOLULU SYMPHONY: Court Approves Conversion to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that a federal bankruptcy court judge
agreed to convert the Honolulu Symphony Society's bankruptcy case
from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 liquidation.  The judge said he can't
see any benefit in keeping the symphony in Chapter 11 that would
generate additional expenses.

As reported in the Dec. 14, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, the Honolulu Symphony, which hasn't performed since its
bankruptcy filing, asked for the conversion, saying that the
contract with musicians present an "insurmountable financial
burden."

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the bankruptcy judge on December 13 made the
conversion effective immediately.  The symphony didn't want it
effective until Dec. 31.

                      About Honolulu Symphony

Honolulu Symphony Society filed for Chapter 11 protection on
Dec. 18, 2009 in its hometown (Bankr. D. Hawaii Case No. 09-
02978), saying assets are less than $500,000 while debt exceeds $1
million.  The
symphony blamed the filing on a decline in donations which left
the orchestra unable to cover costs, since ticket sales represent
only 30% of the budget.  The symphony said it would use Chapter 11
to reorganize fundraising activities.

JERRY DEAN SAXTON: Utah State Court to Rule on Macris' Fees Bid
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Ted Stewart of the U.S. District Court for the District of
Utah grants plaintiff's request and remanded the action, Michael
N. Macris and Macris Enterprises, LLC, v. Sevea International,
Inc., et al., Case No. 10-CV-962 (D. Utah), to Utah State court.
Macris filed the action in 2007.  In September 2009, after finding
Defendants Jerry Dean Saxton, Katie Elizabeth Saxton, and American
Equities Management, LLC, in contempt on multiple occasions, the
state court struck the Saxtons' pleadings and entered default
judgment against them.  The state court subsequently held an
evidentiary hearing and awarded Macris $223,856 in actual damages
and $1,119,280 in punitive damages.  The state court scheduled a
hearing for June 2010 to hear arguments on Macris' motion for
attorney fees and on Macris's motion to allow him to levy
execution on the pre-judgment writ of attachment.  The hearing was
stricken after the Saxtons filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in
Texas.  Their bankruptcy case was dismissed, and they subsequently
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Texas.  Then the Saxtons filed
a notice of removal of the Utah State Court case, pursuant to Rule
9027 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

On October 8, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District
of Texas issued an Order Granting Macris Relief from the Automatic
Stay imposed when the Saxtons filed their bankruptcy cases.  The
Order lifts the automatic stay with regard to the prejudgment writ
of attachment and its corresponding property.  It also expressly
permits this Court, the Utah Third District Court, or the U.S.
District Court for the Norther District of Texas Court --
whichever properly exercises jurisdiction -- to hear evidence,
enter an order on attorney fees and the prejudgment writ, and
enter final judgment in this matter.  Macris subsequently filed
his Motion for Abstention and/or Motion to Remand.

According to Judge Stewart, the Utah Third District Court, after
having the case before it for over two years, is familiar with
this matter and will consequently be able to make determinations
on the fees and writ issues with a minimal expenditure of judicial
resources.

A copy of Judge Stewart's December 10 Memorandum Decision is
available at http://is.gd/iLAc9from Leagle.com.

Jerry Dean Saxton and Katie Elizabeth Saxton, aka Katie E. Heinen,

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also attempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

JUMA TECHNOLOGY: Vision Capital Has 82.6% Equity Stake
------------------------------------------------------
According to a Schedule 13D filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 23, 2010, Vision Capital Advisors,
LLC and related entities, including managing member Adam Benowitz,
beneficially own 214,678,806 shares of common stock of Juma
Technology Corp. representing 82.6% of the shares outstanding.

On November 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement with Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd.
Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company executed and delivered
to the Master Fund (a) a 10% bridge note in the aggregate
principal amount of $500,000 and (b) a Series A Warrant to
purchase an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of the Company's common
stock.  The Note accrues interest at 10% per annum from the date
of issuance, which interest is payable in cash at the maturity
date, which is November 29, 2010.

The Note does not contain any conversion provisions.  The Warrant
is exercisable into shares of Common Stock at any time at the
option of the Master Fund at an initial exercise price of $0.15
per share, provided that it cannot be exercised or converted to
the extent that after giving effect thereto the beneficial
ownership of the Master Fund, VCAF and their affiliates would
exceed 4.99% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (which
restriction can be lifted upon 61 days notice).  The term of the
Warrant expires March 31, 2015.

Concurrently with the Purchase Agreement, the Company has entered
into an Acknowledgement and Waiver of Anti-Dilution Adjustments.
Under the Acknowledgement, the Company acknowledged that the price
protection provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock were
triggered; provided, however, that the Master Fund and VCAF GP,
LLC agreed to waive the price protections of the Series B
Preferred Stock.

The Master Fund and VCAF, collectively, (i) own 1,116,705 shares
of Common Stock, (ii) have the ability to acquire an additional
213,562,101 shares of Common Stock through the exercise or
conversion of derivative securities and (iii) thus beneficially
own 214,678,806 shares of Common Stock, representing 82.6% of all
of the Company's outstanding Common Stock.  The Investment Manager
and Mr. Benowitz may each be deemed to beneficially own the shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Master Fund and VCAF.
Each disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

The foregoing is based on 46,468,945 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of November 8, 2010, as reported on the Company's
Form 10-Q filed on November 10, 2010.

The Reporting Persons have shared power to vote or direct the vote
of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 214,678,806
shares of Common Stock.

KEYSTONE SURPLUS: Court Rejects Principal's Ch. 11 Admin. Claim
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Bankruptcy Judge Stephen Raslavich denied a motion by Albert
Kauffman, a principal of Keystone Surplus Metals, Inc., requesting
allowance of a $215,969.26 Chapter 11 administrative claim.  Mr.
Kauffman contends that he made postpetition loans to Keystone in
the ordinary course of its business and that he should be granted
an administrative claim for this amount.  The United States
Trustee objects to the request.  Judge Raslavich said Mr. Kauffman
has failed to establish that he made loans to Keystone in the
ordinary course of business under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 364(a).

A copy of the Court's December 7 Opinion is available at
http://is.gd/iMF5tfrom Leagle.com.

Based in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, Keystone Surplus Metals, Inc.,
dba Keystone Specialty Metals, Inc. --
http://www.keystonespecialtymetals.com-- offered home furnishing
services.  The Debtor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D.
Pa. Case No. 08-16450) on October 3, 2008.  David A. Kasen, Esq.
-- dkasen@kasenlaw.com -- at Kasen Kasen & Braverman, served as
the Debtor's counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor listed
$10 million to $50 million in both assets and debts.

On March 22, 2010, the U.S. Trustee filed a motion to convert
Keystone's Chapter 11 case to a Chapter 7 case because Keystone
had failed to: (1) file its operating report for the month of
February of 2010; and (2) pay any quarterly fees to the United
States Trustee for the fourth quarter of 2009.  On March 30, 2010,
the Court entered an Order granting the U.S. Trustee's motion.

On May 14, 2010, the Chapter 7 Trustee filed a Motion to Sell
Debtor's Business Assets Free and Clear of Interests, Claims and
Encumbrances Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363.  The Chapter 7
Trustee explained that "[w]hile Wachovia holds a lien against the
Assets, it has agreed to pay from the Net Proceeds of the auction
the allowed administrative expenses of the Trustee and his counsel
plus an additional five percent of the Net Proceeds to be paid to
unsecured creditors."

LAUREN PAULSON: Dist. Ct. Dismisses Suit vs. Fairway America
------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Ancer L. Haggerty affirmed a magistrate judge's
ruling dismissing the action, Lauren Paulson, v. Fairway America
Corporation, fka Fairway Commercial Mortgage Corporation, Oregon
corporations, FHLF, LLC, an Oregon corporation, Matt Burk,
Sterling Savings Bank, a Washington corporation, Wells Fargo
Foothills, a California corporation, Joan Doe, a mortgage broker,
Frank Keefe, a real estate broker, and Joel Parker, a lawyer, Case
No. 08-cv-982 (D. Ore.).

In his Amended Findings and Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Papak
recommended granting defendants' summary judgment motion and
dismissing the action in its entirety.  Plaintiff has filed
objections.  When a party objects to any portion of the Magistrate
Judge's Findings and Recommendation, the district court must make
a de novo determination of that portion of the Magistrate's
report.

Judge Haggerty says the District Court has given the file of the
case a de novo review, carefully evaluating the Magistrate Judge's
Findings and Recommendations, the objections, and the record of
the case. The Findings and Recommendation is well-reasoned,
without error, and is adopted in its entirety.

A copy of the District Court's December 9, 2010 Order is available
at http://is.gd/iMrPLfrom Leagle.com.

Based in Aloha, Oregon, Lauren John Paulson filed a Chapter 11
bankruptcy action (Bankr. D. Ore. Case No. 09-32439) on April 8,
2009.  Judge Randall L. Dunn presides over the bankruptcy case.
Matthew A. Arbaugh, Esq., at Field Jerger LLP, served as the
Debtor's counsel.  In his petition, Mr. Paulson listed $1,036,875
in total assets and $426,285 in total debts.

In November 2009, Mr. Paulson converted his Chapter 11 bankruptcy
to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, and Amy Mitchell was
appointed trustee of the bankruptcy estate. The Magistrate Judge
recognized that the conversion to Chapter 7 deprived plaintiff of
his status as debtor in possession, and elevated the estate to the
role of the real party in interest as to all claims alleged in
this action.


LEAR CORP: Date of Patent Infringement Runs from Sale Date
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Lear Corp., which confirmed a prepackaged Chapter 11
plan in November 2009, didn't succeed in using bankruptcy to
escape damages for patent infringement.  Before Lear's filing for
reorganization, it was sued for patent infringement by Johnson
Controls Interiors LLC and Chamberlain Group Inc.  The suit for a
while was brought to a halt by the automatic stay resulting from
Lear's Chapter 11 filing.

Mr. Rochelle relates that after the suit resumed, Lear filed a
motion for partial summary judgment in U.S. District Court
contending that all damages arising from patent infringement were
pre-bankruptcy unsecured claims because goods were sold after
bankruptcy under so-called supply agreements signed with
automakers before bankruptcy.

According to Mr. Rochelle, U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve in
Chicago disagreed with Lear.  She denied the motion for summary
judgment saying that when products were shipped or sold was the
relevant date for deciding if the infringement was pre- or post-
bankruptcy.  St. Eve ruled that signing the supply agreement
before bankruptcy and making sales after bankruptcy were "separate
acts of alleged infringement."  The uncontested evidence also
showed that awarding a contract to a component manufacturer isn't
the equivalent of a sale.

LOEHMANN'S HOLDINGS: Reaches Deal with Creditors on Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Loehmann's Capital Corp. and its affiliates have reached agreement
with the official committee of unsecured creditors to proceed with
its restructuring plan, allowing the Company to remain on track to
successfully exit chapter 11 on or before February 18, 2011.
Through a rights offering to the Company's senior secured Class A
Noteholders, which is being backstopped by Istithmar World and
Whippoorwill Associates, Inc., as agent for its discretionary
funds and accounts, which represents approximately 70% of its
senior secured notes, the Company will receive a $25 million
capital infusion upon emergence from chapter 11.  Under the terms
of the global settlement agreement between the parties, general
unsecured creditors will receive a pro rata distribution
consisting of cash in the aggregate amount of $2 million.  The
creditors committee has agreed to fully support the proposed
restructuring plan, which should pave the way for an expedited
chapter 11 process.

The Company had already reached an earlier agreement with
Whippoorwill Associates, Inc., and its equity sponsor, Istithmar
World, on the restructuring plan that will substantially reduce
the Company's debt and recapitalize its balance sheet.

Loehmann's has secured Court approval for a $33 million revolving
credit facility with Crystal Financial LLC ("Crystal") for post-
petition financing and an additional $7 million junior facility by
Whippoorwill, which will be made immediately available to the
Company.

With these capital commitments, Loehmann's will have sufficient
liquidity and the financial flexibility to fund daily operations
without interruption.  The additional $7 million revolving loan
facility will also allow the Company to commence the purchase of
Spring inventory, reserve inventory (products bought at the end of
a selling season to hold for the next season) and make-up
inventory (products manufactured specifically for Loehmann's).

Loehmann's continues with normal operations including special
holiday promotions, and will be rolling out a series of new
strategic business initiatives as part of its reorganization
including:

Highlighting the "Back Room" as a continued key differentiator and
cornerstone of the business, and
Reallocating marketing funds to reach new and additional customers

LOUIS J PEARLMAN: Clawback Suit v. Mercantile Bank Continues
------------------------------------------------------------
Soneet R. Kapila, as Chapter 11 Trustee for Trans Continental
Airlines, Inc., Trans Continental Records, Inc., and Louis J.
Pearlman Enterprises, Inc., v. TD Bank, N.A., successor by merger
to Carolina First Bank d/b/a Mercantile Bank, as successor by
merger to Citrus Bank, Adv. Pro. No. 09-ap-00053 (Bankr. M.D.
Fla.), seeks to avoid allegedly fraudulent transfers from the
Debtors to Mercantile under Bankruptcy Code Secs. 544(b), 548,
550, and comparable Florida state law.  The complaint alleges that
Debtor Pearlman and his co-debtor companies -- Trans Continental
Airlines, Trans Continental Records, and Louis J. Pearlman
Enterprises -- perpetrated three different fraudulent money making
schemes.

The Chapter 11 trustee seeks partial summary judgment on two
issues: (1) that the transfers to Mercantile were made with actual
intent to hinder, delay, or defraud other creditors, and (2) that
Mercantile cannot rely on the statutory good faith defense because
it knew about the Debtors' fraud and poor financial condition
before receiving the transfers.

Judge Karen S. Jennemann holds that summary judgment is only
appropriate when there are no disputed factual issues.  Because
Mercantile has raised a number of factual issues with regard to
both parts of the trustee's motion, the Court denies the motion.

A copy of the Court's December 2, 2010 Memorandum Opinion is
available at http://is.gd/iMySAfrom Leagle.com.

The Chapter 11 trustee has filed more than 700 adversary
proceedings seeking to recover alleged fraudulent transfers.

against Mr. Pearlman and his company, Trans Continental Airlines,
Inc. (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case Nos. 07-00761 and 07-00762).  The
creditors disclosed an aggregate of more than $40 million in
claims.

LOUIS J PEARLMAN: Court Denies Bid to Dismiss Test Case No. 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Integra Bank, N.A. seeks to dismiss Test Case No. 1 on two
grounds: (a) Integra argues Soneet R. Kapila, as Chapter 11
Trustee for Trans Continental Airlines, Inc., Trans Continental
Records, Inc., and Louis J. Pearlman Enterprises, Inc., has failed
to state a claim for actual fraudulent transfer under Sec.
548(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code because the so-called "Ponzi
scheme presumption" -- which is the trustee's sole basis for
proving actual fraud -- does not apply to the series of loan
repayments Pearlman and his companies made to Integra; and (b)
Integra alleges the trustee has pled facts that, on their face,
establish the bank's good faith defense to his fraudulent transfer
claim.

Judge Karen S. Jennemann rules that because the trustee's
complaint alleges that the loan repayments made to Integra
perpetuated Mr. Pearlman's other -- undeniably Ponzi -- schemes,
the Court finds the trustee has pled enough facts to state a claim
for relief based on the Ponzi scheme presumption.  Likewise, the
Court does not find that Integra's good faith defense is
established on the pleadings, and Integra's motion is denied.

The Chapter 11 trustee has filed more than 700 adversary
proceedings seeking to recover alleged fraudulent transfers.  In
April 2009, the trustee filed adversary complaints against Tatonka
Capital Corporation, Integra Bank, N.A., American Bank of St.
Paul, and First National Bank & Trust Company of Williston, Bank
of America, N.A., First International Bank and Trust and its
participants -- Bank Joint Defense Group -- and numerous other
financial institutions that loaned money to Mr. Pearlman or his
companies and that subsequently received repayments from or on
behalf of the debtors in connection with such loans.  In April
2010, the Court entered the Bank Test Case Order under which
certain procedures were adopted to facilitate the orderly, prompt,
and efficient resolution of the Subject Adversaries.  The Bank
Test Case Order established two test cases to help resolve the
Subject Adversaries.  Test Case No. 1 assesses the trustee's
claims for actual fraudulent transfer under Secs. 548(a)(1)(A),
544(b), and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Likewise, the purpose of
Test Case No. 2 is to assess the trustee's claims for constructive
fraudulent transfer under Secs. 548(a)(1)(B), 544(b), and 550 of
the Bankruptcy Code.  Soon after entry of the Bank Test Case
Order, the Bank Joint Defense Group selected Integra Bank as the
lead bank for litigation purposes, which established this
adversary proceeding as the lead adversary proceeding for all Test
Case litigation.

The case is Soneet R. Kapila, as Chapter 11 Trustee for Trans
Continental Airlines, Inc., Trans Continental Records, Inc., and
Louis J. Pearlman Enterprises, Inc., v.Integra Bank, N.A., Adv.
Pro. No. 09-00715 (Bankr. M.D. Fla.), and a copy of the

MAGIC BRANDS: Luby's Can't Walk Away from 9 Franchise Deals
-----------------------------------------------------------
A judge is refusing to let cafeteria chain Luby's Inc. walk away
from nine franchise agreements it assumed as part of the $63.5
million sale of Magic Brands LLC's Fuddruckers chain.

Luby's unsuccessfully argued that Magic Brands misrepresented the
terms of nine franchise agreements before Luby's was authorized in
June to buy the Fuddruckers stores and franchise business for
$63.5 million.  Luby's had said, among other things, the data room
didn't show how nine franchise agreements had been modified less
than a year before bankruptcy to be "far more onerous" to the
franchisor.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors opposed Luby's
motion to modify the sale-approval order, contending that Luby's
has no right to terminate nine franchise agreements it assumed
upon completing the court-approved acquisition.  The Committee
pointed out that Luby's performed its own due diligence.

Dow Jones' Small Cap reports Judge Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., signed an order denying
Luby's request to basically una-ssume the franchise agreements
regarding nine Fuddruckers restaurants in Texas.

Dow Jones' adds that in court papers filed in late October, Luby's
asked the bankruptcy judge to give it "relief" from the nine
franchise agreements it assumed as part of the sale.

MERCHANDISE MART: High Point Buildings Placed in Receivership
-------------------------------------------------------------
Larry Thomas at Furniture Today reports that a local newspaper
reported a judge in Guilford county, Norte Carolina, judge has
placed the High Point showrooms owned Merchandise Mart Properties
Inc. in receivership after the Company defaulted on a $225 million
loan.

According to Furniture Today, the High Point Enterprise reported
that San Diego-based Trigild Inc. has been appointed as receiver.
The newspaper said the receiver has opted to leave existing
management in place, the report relates.

In November, Furniture Today recounts, MMPI's parent company,
publicly traded Vornado Realty Trust, said in a filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that it had stopped making
payments on the loan, and that special servicer J.E. Robert Co.
had filed a motion seeking the appointment of a receiver.

Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. is the second-largest showroom
operator at market.  MMPI's holdings include Market Square,
Furniture Plaza, Plaza Suites and National Furniture Mart.


MERUELO MADDUX: Asks Judge to Toss Out Rival Bankruptcy Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that Meruelo Maddux
Properties Inc. is asking a bankruptcy judge to toss out a rival
restructuring plan for the Los Angles real-estate company,
alleging that the shareholders backing the alternative proposal do
not have the cash necessary to close the deal.

Three parties have filed competing plans for Meruelo Maddux:

  (1) The Company.

       -- The plan provides for the payment in full of all claims
          over time with interest.  The secured claims will be
          paid interest only over the term of the Plan and the
          principal balance will be paid either through the sale
          of the property securing the claim or the refinance of
          the secured debt.  PI shareholders will retain their
          shares in MMPI.  General unsecured creditors will be
          paid within 30 days after the effective date with
          interest from the Petition Date at 5% per annum.
          Holders of unsecured claims will be paid in the full
          amount of their claims over 5 years from the effective
          date.

  (2) Lenders Legendary Investors Group No. 1 LLC and East West
      Bank.

       -- The plan's foundation is an $80 million
          recapitalization via a $5 million cash infusion by
          Legendary, conversion of about $65 million of debt to
          equity and a $10 million rights offering to holders of
          Meruelo Maddux existing common stock.  East West will
          receive 70% to 80% of the stock of the reorganized
          company.  Holders of unsecured claims will receive a
          cash payment equal to 100% of the amount of their
          allowed claims on the effective date, plus simple
          interest at 5% per annum for the period from the
          petition date through the date each allowed claim is
          paid.  Interest will be at the Federal Judgment Rate if
          the creditors vote to reject the plan.  Holders of the
          existing stock will receive 20% of the stock in the
          reorganized company.

  (3) Existing shareholders Charlestown Capital Advisors LLC and
      Hartland Asset Management Corp.

       -- Under the plan, MMPI will receive a $31 million cash
          investment from Charleston and Hartland-led investors
          and from a rights offering made available to existing
          MMPI shareholders.  Non-insider general unsecured
          creditors will be paid in full with interest as soon as
          the plan becomes effective.  Holders of secured claims
          will receive monthly interest payments at 5.25% for four
          years with full payment on the principal balance four
          years after the effective date.  Reorganized MMPI will
          issue to existing holders of MMPI interests, if they
          elect to receive stock instead of cash, will receive
          up to 26% of the total stock of the reorganized company.
          Stockholders can also purchase up to 19% of the stock in
          an $8 million rights offering.

Judge Kathleen Thompson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California in October approved competing
reorganization plans from Meruelo equity holders Charlestown
Capital Advisors LLC and Hartland.

Judge Thompson approved the disclosure statement explaining the
Chapter 11 plan proposed by management in early August.

The Creditors Committee is recommending that creditors turn down
the management plan.  The Committee supports the lenders' plan.
The Committee noted that the lenders' plan will pay creditors in
full with interest shortly after plan confirmation while the
company plan would pay creditors in full over five years.

The Company has said that East West is taking a predatory action
by converting real estate debt into a controlling interest in a
company.  East West also appears to be proposing it use TARP money
obtained by the federal government as a part of its effort to
complete its hostile takeover of Meruelo Maddux.

MOUNTAIN PROVINCE: Gacho Kue Feasibility Sent for Final Review
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. announced that the Gahcho Kue JV
partners, Mountain Province and De Beers Canada Inc., received the
final Gahcho Kue definitive feasibility study at a JV meeting on
December 8, 2010.  The feasibility study is now the subject of a
final review by the partners, which is expected to be completed by
the end of the first quarter of 2011.  Finalization of the
detailed project execution plan is also currently underway.

Upon satisfactory completion of the review and the project
execution plan, the partners expect to commence work on the plan
and budget for the Gahcho Kue mine during the second quarter of
2011.  The plan and budget will serve as the basis for a final
investment decision, which is expected to be made once the
partners have clarity on the progress of the environmental review.

Mountain Province also confirmed that the Gahcho Kue Environmental
Impact Assessment remains on track for filing with the Mackenzie
Valley Environmental Review Board prior to year-end.

                     About Mountain Province

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Mountain Province Diamonds Inc.

is its 49% interest in the Gahcho Kue Project.

The Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, showed
C$95.8 million in total assets, C$13.9 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of C$81.9 million.

                          *     *    *

In its Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Company's
interim consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended June 30, 2010, the Company said its ability to continue as a
going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and
discharge its liabilities is dependent on the discovery of
economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the
Company to obtain necessary financing to fund its operations, and
the future production or proceeds from developed properties.
However, the Company adds that there is no certainty that the
Company will be able to obtain financing to fund its operations.
As a result, the Company says, there is substantial doubt as to
its ability to continue as a going concern.


MPG OFFICE: To Launch Strategic Plan to Own Core Assets
-------------------------------------------------------
MPG Office Trust Inc. stated it is continuing to implement its
strategic plan to own and manage a core set of assets, reduce and
modify the Company's obligations, and enhance long-term value for
stockholders.

As previously announced, the restructuring initiatives completed
to date include the elimination of several repayment and debt
service guarantees and the disposition of certain non-core assets
which relieved the Company of approximately $2 billion of debt
obligations and guaranty exposure of approximately $150 million.

The Company has turned its focus to the Company's core Downtown
Los Angeles properties, which includes working proactively with
lenders and special servicers to reduce the Company's financial
obligations.

As part of this next phase, the Company will deliver a notice of
imminent default to the master servicer for the mortgage loan on
Two California Plaza in Downtown Los Angeles as a first step
towards restructuring the loan.  Two California Plaza is financed
with commercial mortgage-backed securities debt, and as a
consequence, in order to comply with real estate mortgage
investment conduit rules, the Company must send a notice of
imminent default to enable any discussions regarding a loan
modification with the special servicer.

David L. Weinstein, President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented: "Two California Plaza is a key asset that is materially
overleveraged.  The Company would prefer to include Two California
Plaza as part of its core set of assets, and expects to have the
opportunity to explore various potential options for doing so once
the asset is transferred into special servicing.  At this time, we
do not believe that funding current and projected operating
deficits at this asset with the Company's precious unrestricted
cash is in the best interests of our stockholders."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter early this month, MMP

Phoenix Law Bankruptcy News reports that MMP 10180, LLC, owns the
The Loop Taste of Chicago restaurant, located at 10180 N. Oracle
Road in the San Jose Plaza, in Oro Valley.  According to the
report, business owners in the San Jose Plaza have asked Town of

shopping center to provide easy access into the retail shopping
center for southbound traffic on Oracle Road.

The owner of Loop Taste has also defaulted on a $1.6 million loan
for the San Jose Plaza property, according to the report.  The
property is set to be sold at a public auction in February 2011.

According to tucsoncitizen.com, the Chapter 11 filing would be a
financial reorganization of the restaurant -- not a liquidation.

evidence of taking hold.


NEWPAGE CORP: To Shut Down Wisconsin Mill in February
-----------------------------------------------------
NewPage Corporation announced that it will close its Whiting,
Wisconsin mill at the end of February 2011.  The Whiting mill
currently operates two paper machines, which produce approximately
250,000 tons annually of coated paper used by the publishing and
printing industry, with a primary focus on mail-order catalog,
magazine and retailer end uses.

"This remains a difficult time for the paper industry, for NewPage
and for many of our customers," said George Martin, NewPage
president and chief executive officer.  "While we have seen modest
recovery in our coated markets, we continue to monitor the supply
and demand balance and make the difficult choices needed to avoid
oversupplying those markets.  NewPage has the capacity and
operational flexibility to produce both coated groundwood and
coated freesheet on the same machines at other facilities.
Therefore, we do not expect any interruptions in service to our
customers while closing the Whiting mill, which is our highest
cost-per-ton coated groundwood mill."

Approximately 360 employees will be affected by the shutdown of
the Whiting mill.

                        About NewPage Corp.

Headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio, NewPage Corporation --
http://www.NewPageCorp.com/-- is a coated paper manufacturer in
North America, based on production capacity, with $3.1 billion in
net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The company's
product portfolio is the broadest in North America and includes
coated freesheet, coated groundwood, supercalendered, newsprint
and specialty papers.  These papers are used for corporate
collateral, commercial printing, magazines, catalogs, books,
coupons, inserts, newspapers, packaging applications and direct
mail advertising.

NewPage owns paper mills in Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nova Scotia, Canada.  These mills have a
total annual production capacity of approximately 4.4 million tons
of paper, including approximately 3.2 million tons of coated
paper, approximately 1.0 million tons of uncoated paper and
approximately 200,000 tons of specialty paper.

NewPage Corp.'s balance sheet at June 30, 2010, showed
$3.849 billion in total assets; $488 million in current debts,
$3.192 billion in long-term debt and $482 million in other long-
term obligations; and a total deficit of $313 million.

                           *     *     *

NewPage carries a 'CCC+' corporate credit rating from, with
negative outlook, from Standard & Poor's.  It has 'Caa1' long term
corporate family and probability of default ratings from Moody's.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in November 2010 revised its
recovery rating on NewPage Corp.'s senior secured first-lien notes
to '4' from '3'. "S&P believes that a '4' recovery more
appropriately conveys the risk that the company's postdefault
enterprise value may be affected by stresses more severe than what
S&P's analysis contemplates given the highly cyclical industry in
which NewPage operates," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Tobias Crabtree.


NUVEEN INVESTMENTS: Seeks to Amend & Extend Credit Facilities
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nuveen Investments held a lender conference on December 13, 2010.
The Company discussed a proposed amendment and extension of its
credit facilities.

The Company sought to amend and extend its first lien credit
facilities to opportunistically reduce the size of its 2013 and
214 debt maturities.  The amendment and extension addresses the
following:

   * $1.0 billion extension of the existing $2.1 billion first
     lien term loan facility by 2.5 years into a new extended
     first lien term loan facility maturing in May 2017.

   * Targeting a $250 million extension of the revolving credit
     facility by 2 years into a new extended revolving credit
     facility maturing November 2015.

   * Amend the leverage covenant to provide increase cushions and
     operating flexibility.

                    About Nuveen Investments

Founded in 1898, Nuveen Investments, Inc., based in Chicago,
Illinois, provides investment management services to high-net-
worth and institutional investors and the financial consultants
and advisors who serve them.  The Company derives substantially
all of its revenues from providing investment advisory services
and distributing managed account products, closed-end exchange-
traded funds and open-end mutual funds.

Nuveen carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating from Moody's
Investors Service and a 'B-' long-term counterparty credit rating
from Standard & Poor's ratings service.

At the end of July 2010, Moody's changed the outlook for its he
ratings to positive from stable following the company's
announcement that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the
long-only assets of First American Fund Advisors, a subsidiary of
US Bancorp (Aa3/P- 1/Neg).  Moody's stated that Nuveen's outlook
change reflects improving fundamentals at Nuveen and expected
near-term financial and longer-term strategic benefits of the FAF
Advisors acquisition.  However, Moody's still views Nuveen's
leverage as "clearly excessive, particularly in the context of
elevated market volatility."  The Caa1 corporate family rating
incorporates a high potential for a modest capital restructuring,
Moody's said.

PARAMOUNT RESOURCES: Completes $300 Million Senior Notes Offering
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Paramount Resources Ltd. announces that its $300 million offering
of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2017 and the tender offer for
the 8.5% senior US notes due 2013 made by a wholly-owned
subsidiary have each been completed.  A total of US$64,216,000
principal amount of the 2013 Notes were tendered.

Paramount intends to deposit with the trustee for the 2013 Notes
this week sufficient funds for the redemption at par on
January 31, 2011, of the remaining US$25,975,000 aggregate
principal amount of 2013 Notes not held by Paramount's subsidiary.
Once such deposit has been made with, and certain required
documents have been delivered to, the trustee for the 2013 Notes,
the indenture governing the 2013 Notes will be discharged and will
cease to be of further effect as to all 2013 Notes issued
thereunder.

A portion of the net proceeds from the 2017 Notes offering was
used for the purchase of 2013 Notes under the tender offer, and
the balance of the net proceeds will be used for the redemption of
the remaining 2013 Notes not held by Paramount's subsidiary, for
the non-permanent repayment of indebtedness under Paramount's
credit facility and for capital expenditures and general corporate
purposes.

The underwriting syndicate for the 2017 Notes offering was led by
Scotia Capital Inc. and BMO Capital Markets, as co-bookrunners,
and also included RBC Capital Markets, HSBC Securities (Canada)
Inc. and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc.

The 2017 Notes have not been and will not be registered under any
federal or state securities laws of the United States.
Accordingly, the 2017 Notes may not be offered or sold within the
United States, except in transactions exempt from the registration
requirements of the federal and applicable state securities laws
of the United States.  This news release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the 2017
Notes in any jurisdiction.

Paramount Resources carries 'B' issuer credit ratings from
Standard & Poor's.

Paramount carries a 'B3' corporate family rating from Moody's
Investors Service.  As reported in the TCR on July 16, 2010,
Moody's said the upgrade to 'B3' reflects Paramount's demonstrated
ability to navigate challenging industry and capital market
conditions and maintain a base level of production through prudent
capital and liquidity management.   The upgrade also reflects
Paramount's substantial alternate liquidity through the value in
its equity investments.   Paramount's operating environment,
however, will remain challenging given the company's very high F&D
and operating cost profile, according to Moody's.

PLAZA LLC: Bankruptcy Court to Review Confirmation Order
--------------------------------------------------------
Plaza South Tower Commercial Condominium Association, Inc., v. The
Plaza LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, Plaza Ten, LLC,
Cameron Kuhn, Adv. Pro. No. 10-236 (Bankr. M.D. Fla.), asserts in
Count I that, pursuant to Sec. 1144 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Court should revoke the confirmation order and vacate a later
order modifying the confirmation order because the Debtor and the
other defendants -- Plaza Ten LLC, a corporation formed to
purchase office condominium units in the Debtor's project, and the
Debtor's principal, Cameron Kuhn -- made material
misrepresentations to induce Plaza South to support the plan and
the later sale.  In Counts II-VI, Plaza South seeks damages,
declaratory, and injunctive relief under various, largely state
law, causes of action.

The non-debtor defendants suggest that the Court should abstain
from resolving the dispute, relying on 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1334(c)(1),
which provides that a federal court can exercise its discretion to
abstain "in the interest of justice, or in the interest of comity
with State Courts or respect for State law."

Bankruptcy Judge Karen S. Jennemann declines the Motion to
Abstain.  As to Count I, Judge Jennemann finds that it is more
efficient for the Bankruptcy Court to address the viability of the
orders entered by the Court.

However, Judge Jennemann holds that if the confirmation order
survives, the remaining issues regarding damages and injunctive
relief absolutely raise issues of Florida state law which a state
court is better able to address.

Accordingly, Judge Jennemann direct the plaintiff to file an
amended complaint, on or before December 31, 2010, which limits
the relief sought only to that asserted in Count I or otherwise
raising core, federal claims.  If the amended complaint is timely
filed, the defendants are directed to respond by January 21, 2011.
The Court will hold a pre-trial conference at 10:00 a.m. on
February 24, 2011.

A copy of Judge Jennemann's December 6 Memorandum Opinion is

PROBE RESOURCES: Subsidiaries Permitted to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that subsidiaries of Probe Resources Ltd. were given
authorization by the bankruptcy court to use cash representing
collateral for the claims of the secured lender.  The lender, K2
Principal Fund LP, is owed $25.5 million, according to a court
filing.  A final hearing for the use of cash is scheduled to be
held on Dec. 22.

Four U.S. subsidiaries of Probe Resources Ltd., an oil and
natural-gas exploration and production company from Vancouver,
British Columbia, filed for Chapter 11 protection in Houston,
Texas on Nov. 16 in Houston.  The Woodlands, Texas-based
subsidiaries are led by Probe Resources US Ltd. (Bankr. S.D. Tex.
Case No. 10-40395).

Probe said the filing became necessary when a debt-restructuring
agreement expired along with a forbearance agreement.  As a
result, the lender swept all unrestricted cash, precipitating the
Chapter 11 filings.

Probe Resources in December 2010 joined its U.S. units in filing
for Chapter 11.


RAME PROPERTIES: Chapter 11 Case "Not Viable", Dismissed
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia has
granted the motion of Rame Properties, LLC, to dismiss its Chapter
11 case, citing, among others, that the Debtor's case is not a
viable Chapter 11 case.  At the hearing, counsel for the United
States Trustee said the case should be dismissed because there
would be no recovery for unsecured creditors.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on August 27, 2010,
Rame Properties, LLC, asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia to dismiss its Chapter 11 case,
citing that Hays Financial Consulting, LLC, the receiver appointed
by the Superior Court of DeKalb County to take custody and control
of its property, is in the best position to manage and control its
assets (on behalf of CML-GA Rame, LLC), and because it believes
that dismissal, rather than conversion of its Chapter 11 case to
Chapter 7, is in the best interest of its estate, there being no
unencumbered assets for the trustee to liquidate, and because
additional time and expense would just be wasted.

Rame Properties Inc. is a real-estate development company in
Dunwoody, Georgia.  It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
August 18 in Atlanta, Georgia (Bankr. N.D. Ga. Case No. 10-83988).
It estimated its assets at $10 million and debts at $50 million as
of the Petition Date.


RCC NORTH: U.S. Bank's Claim Dispute Delays Plan Confirmation
-------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that confirmation of RCC
North LLC's reorganization plan is being held up by a disagreement
involving the size of the claim of its largest secured creditor.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on August 10, the
Debtor has filed a Chapter 11 plan that will be funded by
operation of the Debtor's property and a capital infusion in the
amount of the new value by the Debtor's sole member, Raintree
Corporate Center Holdings, LLC, or the successful bidder, if an
auction is held.  RCCH will place $250,000 in escrow in the trust
account of the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel on or before the
confirmation date.

Under the Plan, holders of Merrill Lynch Mortgage Trust 2006-C1,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-C1,
will be limited to the value of its collateral ($27,100,000),
which US Bank asserts.  The remainder of US Bank's Allowed Claim
will be treated as a general unsecured claim in Class 5.  Holders
of general unsecured claims will split $500,000.

                         About RCC North LLC

RHI ENTERTAINMENT: Combined Hearing on Plan on February 17
----------------------------------------------------------
RHI Entertainment Inc. won approval Tuesday to put its Chapter 11
case on a fast track and hold a combined disclosure statement and
restructuring plan confirmation hearing as early as Feb. 17,
Bankruptcy Law360 reports.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 13, 2010, the
Plan proposes a prepackaged restructuring of the Debtors'
obligations under their prepetition credit facilities -- referred
to under the Plan as the Existing First Lien Claims in Class 2 and
the Existing Second Lien Claims in Class 3.  The existing public
equity will be cancelled.  New Term Loan Obligations, New Common
Stock and New Warrants will be created. With respect to the
Existing First Lien Claims and Existing Second Lien Claims, the
Plan provides that on the Effective Date, (a) the First Lien
Lenders will receive (i)  $300 million of New Term Loan
Obligations (ii) roughly 99% of the New Common Stock (subject to
dilution), and (b) the Second Lien Lenders will receive (i)
roughly 1% of the New Common Stock (subject to dilution), (ii) New
Warrants representing 15% ownership of the New Common Stock on a
fully diluted basis, and (iii) a limited fee and expense
reimbursement of up to $250,000.

The Plan provides for the classification of certain classes of
claims and interests as Impaired or Unimpaired, each as defined in
the Plan and dependent upon the application of the Consensual Plan
Alternative or the Non-Consensual Plan Alternative as described
below. The Voting Classes are Impaired under the Plan and the
holders of Claims in such Classes had their votes solicited prior
to the Petition Date and such Classes accepted the Plan by
overwhelming requisite majorities.

Class 1 Other Priority Claims, Class 4 Other Secured Claims (under
the Consensual Plan Alternative), and Class 5 General Unsecured
Claims (under the Consensual Plan Alternative if the Estimated
Class 5 Allowed Claims do not exceed the Maximum Class 5 Amount)
are Unimpaired under the Plan.  The holders of Claims in such
Classes are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan and,
therefore, did not have their votes solicited prior to the
Petition Date.

Class 4 Other Secured Claims (under the Non Consensual Plan
Alternative), Class 5 General Unsecured Claims (under (a) the Non
Consensual Plan Alternative or, (b) the Consensual Plan
Alternative if the Estimated Class 5 Allowed Claims exceed the
Maximum Class 5 Amount), Class 6 Subordinated Claims and Class 7
RHI Inc Interestsare Impaired under the Plan.  The holders of
Claims and Interests in all but one of such Classes (i.e., Class 4
Other Secured Claims (under the Non Consensual Plan Alternative)),
are not entitled to a distribution under the Plan, are deemed to
have rejected the Plan and did not have their votes solicited
prior to the Petition Date.

With respect to Class 4 Other Secured Claims, although the holders
of such Claims are entitled to receive or retain property under
the Plan under the Non-Consensual Plan Alternative, they are
deemed to reject the Plan and they similarly did not have their
votes solicited prior to the Petition Date.

The Debtors asked for a combined a hearing on the Plan and the
Disclosure Statement 70 days after the Petition Date, or by
February 17, 2011.  Objections would be due 10 days before the
hearing.

ROCK & REPUBLIC: Lender Takes Aim at Exclusivity Extension Bid
--------------------------------------------------------------
Rock & Republic Enterprises Inc.'s largest secured creditor is
urging a judge to deny the company's bid for an exclusivity
extension, saying that Rock & Republic is no closer to filing a
reorganization plan now than it was eight and a half months ago,
at the dawn of the proceedings, Dow Jones' Small Cap reports.

According to the report, RFK LLC, the lender whose pursuit of Rock
& Republic's intellectual property prompted the company to seek
bankruptcy in April, is now taking aim at Rock & Republic's
exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan.

The Debtor currently shares that right with the official committee
representing unsecured creditors in the case, as the result of a
deal struck in the fall while Rock & Republic was entertaining a
sale deal, but RFK insists that it too should be allowed to
propose a plan for the company, the report relates.

                       About Rock & Republic

New York-based Rock & Republic Enterprises, Inc., is a wholesale
and retail apparel company specializing in an avant-garde and
distinctive line of clothing.  Originally started in 2002 by its
Chief Executive Officer, Michael Ball, primarily as an American
jeans company, the Debtors have expanded their lines to include
high fashion clothing for men, women and children as well as
shoes, cosmetics and accessories.  The Company's merchandise can
be found at most high end retail stores such as Nordstrom, Neiman
Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, Harvey
Nichols and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as in small upscale
boutiques.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 1,
2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-11728).  Alex Spizz, Esq., and
Arthur Goldstein, Esq., at Todtman, Nachamie, Spizz & Johns, P.C.,
assist the Company in its restructuring effort.  Manderson,
Schaefer & McKinlay, LLP, is the Company's special corporate
counsel.  The Company estimated $50 million to $100 million in
assets and $10 million to $50 million in liabilities.

The Company's affiliate, Triple R, Inc., filed a separate
Chapter 11 petition on April 1, 2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
10-11729).

The Court has extended the Debtors' exclusive period to propose a
Chapter 11 plan until November 15, 2010, and its exclusive period
to solicit acceptances of that plan until January 14, 2011.  Rock
& Republic has said it is in talks with a newly formed entity
called GR Acquisition LLC, which offered to purchase its assets
for at least $33 million.

ROOMFUL EXPRESS: Goes Into Receivership Due to Debt Woes
--------------------------------------------------------
Furniture World Magazine reports that Roomful Express, which has
sold furniture in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio markets
since 2000, has been placed in receivership due to sustained poor
market conditions and the inability to repay its financial
obligations.  The report relates that the receivership order was
issued by the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, bringing
to resolution the previous judgment filed by senior lenders.

According to the report, Compass Advisory Partners, a Pittsburgh-
based management consulting firm, has been named the court-
appointed receiver to manage the disposition of the furniture
retailer's assets and inventory through a "going out of business"
sale.   The report relates that it is the intention of the
receiver to satisfy deposits by fulfilling customer orders for
merchandise.

Gordon Brothers Retail Partners Group will be assisting with the
sales close-out process, Furniture World Magazine discloses.

The report says that furniture store retail sales in the United
States, including at Roomful Express, have suffered double-digit
revenue declines this year compared to a year ago.

                    About Roomful Express

Roomful Express operates 10 stores in western PA, one store in St.
Clairsville, Ohio and two stores operating under the name Ashley
Furniture Home Stores in the Johnstown-Altoona market.  All stores
will remain open during this process.

According to Furniture World, all of Roomfull Express' existing 13
locations in western PA and Ohio will remain open as its
operations will commence a "going out of business sale" scheduled
to take place during the next few weeks.  Many of the company's
associates will retain their jobs through the end of the upcoming
sale period, which could last several months.

SEARCHMEDIA HOLDINGS: CSV Principals Resign from Board
------------------------------------------------------
On December 9, 2010, each of Earl Yen and Jianzhong Qu provided
notice to the SearchMedia Holdings Limited Board of Directors that
they were resigning as Board members effective immediately.

Mr. Yen, the founder and managing director of CSV Capital
Partners, and Mr. Qu, a principal of CSV Capital Partners, were
appointed by the representatives of the former stockholders of
SearchMedia International Limited, pursuant to a Voting Agreement
between SearchMedia Holdings Limited and certain stockholders.

                    About SearchMedia Holdings

Based in Shanghai, China, SearchMedia Holdings Limited (NYSE Amex:
IDI, IDI.WS) is a multi-platform media company operating primarily
in the out-of-home advertising industry and one of the largest
operators of integrated outdoor billboard and in-elevator
advertising networks in China.  SearchMedia operates a network of
over 1,500 high-impact billboards with over 500,000 square feet of
surface display area and one of China's largest networks of in-
elevator advertisement panels consisting of approximately 125,000
frames in 50 cities throughout China.  Additionally, SearchMedia
operates a network of large-format light boxes in concourses of
eleven major subway lines in Shanghai.  SearchMedia's core outdoor
billboard and in-elevator platforms are complemented by its subway
advertising platform, which together enable it to provide a multi-
platform, "one-stop shop" services for its local, national and
international advertising clients.

The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2009, showed
$99.8 million in total assets, $51.4 million in total liabilities,
and stockholders equity of $48.4 million.

SearchMedia reported a net loss of $22.6 million on $37.7 million
of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, compared
to a net loss of $35.1 million on $41.7 million of revenue for
fiscal 2008.  The Company disclosed that its inability to generate
cash flows to meet its obligations due to the uncertainty of
achieving operating profitability on an annual basis and raising
required proceeds on reasonable terms, among other factors, raises
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

Joyce Jones from the action, Danny T. Jewell and Sandra F. Jewell,
v. Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc., et al., Case No.
08-CV-392 (E.D. Tenn.).  Danny Jewell was formerly employed by
Smurfit-Stone.  Plaintiffs allege that Mr. Jewell's employment was
terminated on August 6, 2007, on account of his age.  They further
allege that a retaliatory union grievance hastened the
termination.

STILLWATER MINING: MMC Norilsk Unit Unloads All Shares
------------------------------------------------------
Stillwater Mining Company on Monday unveiled the closing of two
separate secondary offerings by its majority stockholder, Norimet
Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Russian nickel producer,
MMC Norilsk Nickel.  In total, Norimet has sold its entire
49.8 million share interest in Stillwater.

The sale of 46.0 million shares of Stillwater common stock closed
Monday, of which 37.0 million shares were sold to the public at a
public offering price of $19.50 per share.  Also in connection
with this offering, today the underwriters exercised their over-
allotment option in full to purchase an additional 3.8 million
shares.

Norimet sold the remaining 9.0 million shares to UBS Securities
LLC in connection with the closing of a previously announced
public offering by UBS AG of Mandatorily Exchangeable Notes due
2012. Upon the closing of the over-allotment option later this
week, Norimet will no longer own any shares of Stillwater's common
stock.

Stillwater Mining Company is not receiving proceeds from either of
the offerings by Norimet.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC,
UBS Securities LLC and VTB Capital PLC acted as joint bookrunning
managers for the underwritten public offering of the common stock.

VTB Capital PLC is not a U.S. registered broker-dealer, and
therefore, to the extent that it effected any sales of shares of
the common stock in the United States, such sales were executed
through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers, which may be
affiliates of VTB Capital PLC, to the extent required by
applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations.

STUYVESANT TOWN: CW Capital, Residents Fail to Reach Rent Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Theresa Agovino, writing for Crain's New York Business, reports
that the residents of Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village and the
complex's new owner failed to reach a crucial agreement on where
to set rents Wednesday, letting an interim agreement that lowered
rents for thousands of tenants expire.  According to Crain's, the
failure to reach an agreement means that thousands of tenants
could see their rents jump, and the two sides could wind up back
in court.

According to Crain's, resolving how much tenants should pay in
rent and what some are due back from earlier overcharges is
critical to determining how much Stuy Town is worth as owner CW
Capital plots a course for the complex.  CW Capital took the helm
of the sprawling, rent-regulated complex when a partnership led by
Tishman Speyer handed back the keys after failing to make a
mortgage payment.

The two sides are continuing to negotiate.  Crain's notes that
under the interim agreement, affected tenants were told to pay
either their lease rent or an estimated rent-stabilized rent,
whichever was lower.

Crain's relates the tenants' lawyer, Alexander Schmidt, said he
was not optimistic that the two sides could reach an agreement
before the end of the year and that the issue wouldn't once again
be in front of a judge.

Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village comprises 56 multi-story
buildings, situated on 80 acres, and includes a total of 11,227
apartments.  The loan sponsors, Tishman Speyer Properties, LP and
BlackRock Realty, acquired the property with the intent of
converting rent-stabilized units to market rents as tenants
vacated the property; however, the conversion of units has since
been determined to be illegal by the New York State Court of
Appeals.  In addition to the $3 billion securitized balance,
there is an additional $1.5 billion of mezzanine debt held
outside the trust.  As reported by the TCR on January 26, 2010, a
group led by Tishman Speyer Properties has decided to give up the
Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town apartment complex in
Manhattan to its creditors.  The decision comes after the venture
between Tishman and BlackRock defaulted on the $4.4 billion debt
used to help finance the acquisition of those properties.


SUPATCHA RESOURCES: Posts $256,000 Net Loss in August 31 Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
Supatcha Resources, Inc., filed its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss of $255,959 for the three months
ended August 31 2010, compared with a net loss of $12,112 for the
same period ended August 31, 2009.

For the three month period ending August 31, 2010, the Company
generated no revenues.

The Company's balance sheet at August 31, 2010, showed
$4.74 million in total assets, $5.05 million in total liabilities,
and a stockholders' deficit of $309,404.

Webb & Company, P.A., in Boynton Beach, Fla., expressed
substantial doubt about Supatcha Resources, Inc.'s ability to
continue as a going concern, following the Company's results for
the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company has an accumulated deficit of $105,722 and
has used cash from operations of $86,948 since inception and has

SUPERIOR GROUP: Assets Placed Into Receivership by County Judge
---------------------------------------------------------------
A Los Angeles County judge has ordered that Superior Gold Group be
placed into receivership and all of its assets-bank accounts, real
estate, and presumably gold stored for customers-frozen, Mother
Jones reported.  According to the report, the receivership was
requested by prosecutors from LA County and Santa Monica city who
have filed a civil suit against the Company.

Mother Jones relates that the lawsuit alleged that among other
things, Superior had defrauded its customers by overcharging them,
fraudulently inducing them to buy overpriced collectors' coins
rather than the bullion that they wanted, and taking customers'
money for coins they never produced.


TESTWELL INC: NY Sup. Ct. Affirms Decision Denying License Renewal
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First
Department, holds that the New York City Department of Buildings's
decision to deny renewal of Testwell, Inc. d/b/a Testwell
Laboratories, Inc.'s concrete testing laboratory license was
rationally based and not arbitrary or capricious.  Testwell was
afforded the reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard to
which it was entitled under Administrative Code of the City of New
York Sec. 28-401.12.

By indictment filed in New York County and dated October 29, 2008,
Testwell, its sole shareholder Vidyasagar Reddy Kancharla, and
certain Testwell employees were charged with enterprise
corruption, scheme to defraud, grand larceny, attempted grand
larceny, offering a false instrument for filing, and falsifying
business records.  The Department, pending a hearing, suspended
Testwell's license and Mr. Kancharla's site-safety manager license
and his professional certification and filing privileges.  In a
report and recommendation dated December 2, 2008, an
Administrative Law Judge found that while the prehearing
suspension of the licenses and Mr. Kancharla's professional
certification privileges were proper, the indictment was
insufficient evidence to support further suspensions and Testwell
was deprived of due process.  By decision and order dated January
20, 2009, the Department's Commissioner rejected that finding and
reinstated, pending resolution of the criminal charges, the
suspension of the licenses and Mr. Kancharla's professional
certification privileges.  Testwell commenced an article 78
proceeding challenging the Commissioner's determination.

The appellate panel consists of Justices Richard T. Andrias, James
M. Catterson, Dianne T. Renwick, Leland DeGrasse, Sallie Manzanet-
Daniels.

A copy of the Court's December 7 opinion, written by Justice
Andrias, is available at http://is.gd/iMEcUfrom Leagle.com.

Laboratories, provides inspection, testing, and quality control

agree on a sale, Trico will file a notice identifying the
purchaser and the price and set up a hearing date for approval of
the sale. If there is more than one offer, Trico must hold an
auction unless the main creditor groups dispense with the idea.
For anything unsold by mid-January, Trico is to hold an auction
for the remaining assets on Jan. 24.

TRICO MARINE: Withdraws Private Sale of Truckee River
-----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Trico Marine Services Inc. withdrew a motion filed
before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for
a private sale of its Truckee River vessel for $950,000.

A buyer was unable to complete the sale at $950,000 after
bankruptcy court approval in October.  Trico has another buyer,
Riverman Nigeria Ltd., to purchase the vessel for the same
price.

As reported in the Dec. 15, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors opposed
the sale, noting that the Debtors seek to "take actions prejudice
the creditors of their estates for the benefit of creditors of the
Debtors' non-debtor subsidiaries."  The Creditors Committee in its
objection pointed out how Trico previously intended to sell
vessels without an auction, only to find that the Committee turned
up a buyer to pay a higher price.

Trico intended to sell the vessels Trico Moon and Trico Mystic for
$26 million without holding an auction.  Following an auction
requested by the Committee, the auction raised the price of the
vesels to $31.3 million.

VISTEON CORPORATION: Moody's Assigns 'B1' Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned initial ratings to reorganized
Visteon Corporation -- Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings, at B1.  In a related action Moody's also assigned a Ba1
rating to Visteon's senior secured term loan, and a Speculative
Grade Rating Assessment of SGL-3.  The rating outlook is stable.

These ratings were assigned:

Visteon Corporation:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, B1;

  -- Probability of Default, B1;

  -- Ba1 (LGD2, 13%), for the $500 million senior secured term
     loan

  -- SGL-3, Speculative Grade Rating Assessment

The $200MM asset based revolving credit facility is not rated by
Moody's.

                        Ratings Rationale

The B1 Corporate Family Rating considers the benefits of the
company's operational and financial restructuring under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and an expectation that Visteon's
more modest debt burden following emergence can be adequately
supported by earnings and cash flow growth by the business.
Through its reorganization Visteon reduced funded debt by
$2 billion to approximately $618 million resulting in
significantly lower debt service costs.  Visteon's performance is
expected to benefit from plant closures and cost reduction actions
taken prior to and during Chapter 11.  Moody's estimates the
company's EBIT margins improved for the first three quarters of
2010, averaging about 3.8% (including Moody's standard
adjustments); compared to a negative average EBIT margin for the
first three quarters of 2009.  While a significant improvement
that is expected to support EBIT/interest above 2.0x over the
near-term, the company's EBIT margins are expected to remain in
the B sub-factor rating range (3-5%).  The ratings also
incorporate Moody's consideration for the additional risks
involved with the company's ability to access funds generated by
its foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures on a timely and cost
effective basis.

Moody's believes that Visteon will continue to maintain its
position as a key supplier to major OEMs.  Over the recent years,
the company reduced its customer concentrations to Ford to about
26%, well below historical levels.  In addition, the company has
improved its regional diversity with North America representing
about 18% of sales and Asia/Pacific regions representing about 39%
of sales.  Moody's believes Visteon's competitive market position
in its automotive climate control, and interiors businesses has
been preserved through the Chapter 11 process and the company's
financial profile will support business growth in the future.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's view that generally
improving automotive industry conditions combined with Visteon's
less levered capital structure will drive credit metrics
supportive of the assigned rating over the near-term.

Visteon is expected to have an adequate liquidity profile over the
next twelve month supported by cash balances and a $200 million
asset based revolving credit facility.  Upon emergence from
Chapter 11 on October 1, 2010, Visteon had cash balances of
approximately $956 million, including about $90 million of
restricted cash.  The company's unrestricted cash is distributed
roughly evenly between North America/Europe and Asia.  On
October 1, 2010, the asset based revolver had no cash drawings.
Under the borrowing base calculation, about $170 million was
available for cash drawings as of that date.  While modest in
size, the facility is expected to be largely undrawn over the near
term.  Visteon is not anticipated to generate free cash flow over
the near-term after incremental capital expenditure requirements
for new business growth.  The new capital structure also benefits
from nominal amortization requirements over the next twelve months
Financial covenants under the senior secured term loan are a net
leverage ratio test and a minimum interest coverage test.  The
asset based revolving credit will not have financial covenants.
Alternate liquidity is limited by debt incurrence covenants under
the credit facilities.

Visteon, headquartered in Buren Township, Michigan, is a leading
global automotive supplier that designs, engineers and
manufactures innovative climate, electronic, interior and lighting
products for vehicle manufacturers.  The company has facilities in
26 countries and employs approximately 26,500 people.  Revenues
for the LTM period ending September 30, 2010, approximate
$6.7 billion.


VISTEON CORP: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has assigned its 'B+'
corporate credit rating on automotive parts supplier Visteon Corp.
The outlook is stable.  At the same time, S&P assigned an issue-
level rating of 'BB-' and recovery rating of '2' on the company's
$500 million senior secured term loan.

"The rating on Visteon reflects S&P's expectation that the company
will continue to improve its operating performance, including
margins (before D&A) in the upper single digits, following its
emergence from Chapter 11 in October 2010," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Robert Schulz.  "S&P expects the company's key
credit measures to remain fairly consistent during the next year,
including adjusted debt to EBITDA under 2x," he continued.

S&P views Visteon's financial risk profile as aggressive, largely
because S&P assume the company will use cash in 2011 for increased
capital spending and cash restructuring.  Also, S&P believes
acquisitions or possible future distributions to shareholders
could absorb free cash flow and constrain significant debt
reduction in the long term.  S&P views the business risk profile
as weak (fair geographic, customer, and product diversity, and
single-digit operating margins).  In S&P's view, the most
significant variable in Visteon's near-term credit profile will be
vehicle production volumes; Visteon's backlog of business is more
than 90% for the next few years.  A second variable will be the
company's success in further reducing overhead costs.

S&P estimates that total debt to EBITDA (adjusted for
postretirement benefits and operating leases) will be less than 2x
at the end of 2010.  For the rating, S&P expects total debt to
EBITDA to decline slightly in 2011, even as the company uses some
cash.  S&P also expect Visteon to generate positive discretionary
cash flow in 2012 through improved operating income and success in
managing working capital despite its expectation that capital
spending will rise.

Visteon is a large Tier 1 supplier serving the global automaker
market.  The company has about $7 billion in consolidated revenues
and about $100 million in equity income  in joint ventures, the
largest being its 50% ownership of large Chinese supplier Yanfeng
Visteon Automotive Trim Systems Co. Ltd. (nine-month 2010 revenue
was $1.8 billion).  Demand in the large North American market is
slowly recovering.  The European market is down about 6% from last
year's levels, which is less than S&P expected.  The Asian
markets, particularly China, remain strong, but production in
China during 2011 could be only in the mid-single digits, which is
much slower growth than in recent years.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's belief that Visteon can achieve
positive discretionary cash flow in 2012, EBITDA margins in the
upper single digits, and retain at least $500 million in cash.
S&P estimates that this would require moderate revenue growth by
2012 and operating margins before depreciation of at least 7%.

S&P could lower the rating if it appears that the company would
use more than $200 million in cash in 2011, including cash
restructuring payments, if S&P believed discretionary cash flow
generation would not be positive in 2012, or if S&P believed that
debt to EBITDA, including its adjustments, would rise rather than
stay flat or decline.  For example, S&P estimates that adjusted
debt to EBITDA could reach 2.5x if Visteon's gross margins fell by
about 300 basis points on modest revenue growth.

S&P considers an upgrade less likely during the next year, based
on its current assessment of business and financial risks and
Visteon's limited financial and strategic record since emerging
from Chapter 11.  Still, any future upgrade would likely be based
on whether S&P believes Visteon can sustain its margins and cash
generation capabilities.

W.R. GRACE: Judge Fitzgerald May Issue Plan Ruling By Year End
--------------------------------------------------------------
At a December 13, 2010 Omnibus Hearing in Wilmington, Judge Judith
Fitzgerald asked the parties to address two specific items related
to confirmation of the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization co-
proposed by W.R. Grace & Co. and its debtor affiliates, the
Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, and the Asbestos PI
Future Claimants' Representative:

    TOPIC ONE -- How the release granted to non-debtors Sealed
    Air Corporation and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc.,
    in Plan Sec. 8.8.7 is appropriate with respect to entities
    receiving no distribution under the Plan or as to creditors
    who did not vote to accept the plan.

The Plan Proponents say the releases granted to Sealed Air and
Fresenius under Plan Sec. 8.8.7 are entirely appropriate in this
case.  The Plan Proponents remind Judge Fitzgerald that the
releases are fully consensual because they apply only to creditors
who affirmatively voted to accept the Plan by marking a ballot
that
said, in short, voting to accept the Plan means you agree to the
release.  The Plan Proponents further remind the Court that this
isn't a free release because Sealed Air and Fresenius are
contributing more than $1 billion to the 524(g) Trust.  The Plan
Proponents believe the releases in Plan Sec. 8.8.7 are no
different than similar releases approved in In re Exide
Technologies, 303 B.R. 48 at 74 (Bankr. D. Del. 2003), In re
Zenith Elecs. Corp., 241 B.R. 92, 111 (Bankr. D. Del. 1999), and a
long list of other cases with Chapter 11 plans confirmed in the
District of Delaware.

John Donley, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in Chicago, pointed
Judge Fitzgerald to Sec. 8.5.2 of the Plan, under which the
Reorganized Debtors assume all GR Claims (as that special term for
Grace-Related Claims is defined in the Plan), and stressed that
the Plan Sec. 8.8.7 release applies only to claims not assumed
under Plan 8.5.2.  The Debtors, Mr. Donley said, don't believe
there are any such claims, and if there are any such claims, they
believe these have no value.

Judge Fitzgerald expressed concern that any claims addressed by
Plan Sec. 8.8.7 look like they're being channeled to the 524(g)
Trust and that's not allowed under the Third Circuit's Combustion
Engineering decision.

Mr. Donley reminded Judge Fitzgerald that Plan Sec. 8.8.7 doesn't
relate to any asbestos-related claim because those claims are
channeled and enjoined by Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Plan Sec. 8.8.7 deals with a very tiny slice of the claims
universe that the Plan Proponents doesn't think exists, he said.

Directing Judge Fitzgerald's attention to the Fresenius Settlement
Agreement, Fresenius' counsel suggested that the release is not as
broad as the Court may suspect and reminded Judge Fitzgerald that
Findings TT, YY and ZZ and decretal paragraph 5 of Judge Wolin's
Order approving the Fresenius Settlement found the releases to be
fair, reasonable and necessary.

Mr. Donley told Judge Fitzgerald that the releases are fair,
necessary, narrow and entirely appropriate, and urged her to
approve them and confirm the Plan.

Judge Fitzgerald said that she'd take another look at Plan Sec.
8.5.2.  Judge Fitzgerald also suggested that the Plan Proponents
take another look at Plan Sec. 8.8.7 and consider adding a
sentence or two to make their intentions abundantly clear to
anyone examining the plan documents.  Judge Fitzgerald reiterated
her concern that the Plan makes it sound like something improper
is being forced on someone who didn't agree to it, and that's what
she wants to avoid.

    TOPIC TWO -- How the provision for payment of interest in
    Class 9 to Holders of General Claims arising from the
    Prepetition Credit Facilities comports with the terms of the
    Bank Lenders' contractual non-default interest rate.

The Plan Proponents remind Judge Fitzgerald that the Debtors'
baseline legal position is that the Bank Lenders aren't entitled
to any postpetition interest, and that the Debtors agreed to pay
the Bank Lenders some postpetition interest to craft the deal that
underpins the Plan, avoids the need to litigate whether or not the
company is solvent, keeps unsecured debt trading above par, and
distributes value to equity.  The Plan Proponents argue that the
law precludes the Lenders' demands under Sections 1129(a)(7) and
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code that they be paid more than the
Plan's negotiated formula for payment of interest. The Plan
Proponents urge Judge Fitzgerald to approve the Plan's treatment
of the Bank Lenders and confirm the Plan.

"Does the Plan pay the Lenders at least their contract rate of
interest?" Judge Fitzgerald asked the Parties at the hearing.

"Yes," Mr. Donley responded, explaining that, in fact, the Bank
Lenders are paid a slight premium because the negotiated interest
rate is compounded quarterly, not because that's required, but
because that is what was negotiated.  Mr. Donley used a handful of
graphs to demonstrate that the rate proposed under the Plan's
negotiated formula is higher than the contract rate.

Richard S. Cobb, Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP, in Wilmington,
told Judge Fitzgerald that the amount of interest payable to the
Bank Lenders isn't as simple as the Plan Proponents want to say it
is.  The Lenders are entitled to the default rate, Mr. Cobb said.

"We are not going to re-argue the default rate," Judge Fitzgerald
said.

The Bank Lenders believe they are impaired, Mr. Cobb continued,
and entitled to a higher interest rate than what the Plan proposes
to pay.

Judge Fitzgerald encouraged -- almost begged -- the Bank Lenders,
the Plan Proponents and the Equity Committee to meet without delay
and present the Court with an agreed resolution to their dispute
about the appropriate amount of interest for the Debtors to pay
the Bank Lenders.

Judge Fitzgerald indicated that she wants to issue her decision
about whether or not to confirm W.R. Grace's plan by the end of
2010.  She said that while it's a self-imposed deadline, it's one
she wants to meet, adding that she would be ecstatic if everyone
who can help her in that regard does so quickly.

Judge Fitzgerald asked the parties about what has happened with
Anderson Memorial's claims.  One of the Debtors' lawyers appearing
telephonically indicated that the Third Circuit declined to review
the District Court's decision to deny class certification, thus
leaving the door open for Anderson to appeal this question at a
later date.  Whether class or individual claims, everybody agrees
Anderson's claims and claims like Anderson's fall in Class 7A and
no Class 7A creditor objects to plan confirmation.

Judge Fitzgerald asked the parties to explain Sec. 5.6 of the
Trust Distribution Procedures.

Peter Van N. Lockwood, Esq., at Caplin & Drysdale, in Washington,
D.C., explained that the goal is to prevent any party from
collecting twice on the same claim from the 524(g) Trust on
account of indirect claims.

Judge Fitzgerald called for a 10-minute recess to consult with her
Law Clerk in Pittsburgh.  Judge Fitzgerald returned, said she had
nothing further, and adjourned the December 13 hearing.

Mr. Cobb also said that the Bank Lenders are ready, willing and
able to meet with the Plan Proponents to talk about how to
amicably resolve the interest rate dispute.

W.R. GRACE: Payment of Sealed Air, Fresenius Prof. Fees Ordered
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved
the fee applications filed by professionals, and allowed the
payment of remaining holdbacks owed to the professionals, in the
performance of services related to the Adversary Proceedings
styled (i) Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury
Claimants, et al. v. Sealed Air Corporation and Cryovac, Inc., et
al., and (ii) Official Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury
Claimants, et al, vs. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., et
al.

The Court directed W.R. Grace & Co. and its affiliates to pay:

  Professional                     Fees    Expenses   Holdback
  ------------                   -------   --------   --------
  Kirkland & Ellis LLP           $35,967       $779     $7,820

  Caplin & Drysdale               14,725          0      3,171

The Adversary Proceedings were commenced in March 2002.  In
November 2002, the Adversary Proceedings were settled in
principal.  However, due to the complex nature of the settlements,
the settlement of the Fresenius Adversary Proceeding was not
approved until June 25, 2003.  Similarly, the settlement of the
Sealed Air Adversary Proceeding was not approved until June 27,
2005.

Delaware District Judge Alfred Wolin withdrew in July 2002 the
reference from the Bankruptcy Court over the determination of the
fees and expenses incurred in the Adversary Proceedings.
Thereafter, pursuant to an administrative fee order entered in the
Bankruptcy cases, the professionals periodically filed and were
paid fees and expenses.

When Judge Wolin was recused, and on January 13, 2005, the
District Court referred "the Sealed Air Settlement Motion . . .
and any related pleadings" to the Bankruptcy Court.  However, the
District Court did not address referral of the professional fees
that had been or would continue to be incurred in the Adversary
Proceedings.

Due to the Adversary Proceeding Settlements, the recusal of Judge
Wolin, and the transfer of the Sealed Air matters back to the
Bankruptcy Court, many of the fee applications filed by the
professionals in the Adversary Proceedings were never acted upon.
While the Debtors paid the 80% in fees and 100% in expenses owed
to the professionals, as permitted by the District Court, the fee
applications and payment of the 20% holdbacks were not approved.

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
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
