416 BROADWAY COMPLEX: CA-Essex Buys Condo Project in Receivership
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bob Howard at GlobeSt reports that CA-Essex Property Trust of Palo
Alto, CA has acquired the 416 Broadway complex, a 115-unit former
condominium project that was converted to apartments, for
$43 million in a receivership sale.

According to the report, receiver and principal Taylor B Grant of
Newport Beach, CA-based California Real Estate Receiverships
reports that the four-level project, at 416 Broadway, was
originally financed by Netherlands-based MBO.  The report relates
that built as a condominium in 2009, the project was converted to
rentals and currently has a vacancy rate of less than 5%,
according to Grant.

"When the market recovers, it may well again be sold as a
condominium," the report quoted Mr. Grant, who has served as
receiver for some $750 million of commercial and residential
properties, as saying.  "The fact that more than 20 offers were
made is indicative of the continuing demand for quality projects
in under-supplied markets," he added.

The report notes that the project, located three blocks from
Americana at Brand and Glendale Galleria, includes 9,000 square
feet of retail at ground level.  The report relates that
originally developed by East Broadway Ventures of Newport Beach,
the property was encumbered by numerous liens and competing claims
regarding payment and priority of payment, Mr. Grant said.  "The
resolution of those disputes cleared the way for sale of the
building," Mr. Grant added.

Sean Deasy, of Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, represented the buyer and
the seller.

ALLY FINANCIAL: May Sell Senior Guaranteed Notes; Files Prospectus
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ally Financial Inc. on Monday filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission an automatic shelf registration statement on
Form S-3ASR.  Pursuant to the filing, Ally may sell from time to
time senior guaranteed notes in one or more offerings.  The senior
guaranteed notes will be unconditionally guaranteed by Ally US
LLC, IB Finance Holding Company, LLC, GMAC Latin America Holdings
LLC, GMAC International Holdings B.V. and GMAC Continental LLC,
each a subsidiary of Ally on an unsubordinated basis.

Ally may offer and sell these securities to or through one or more
underwriters, dealers or agents, or directly to investors, on a
continuous or delayed basis.  The applicable prospectus supplement
will provide the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the
specific terms of the plan of distribution and any applicable
underwriting discounts and commissions.  The securities offered by
the prospectus, unless stated otherwise in the applicable
prospectus supplement, will not be listed on any exchange, listing
authority or quotation system.

The notes will be unsubordinated unsecured obligations of Ally and
will rank equally in right of payment with all of Ally's existing
and future unsubordinated unsecured indebtedness and senior in
right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness that by
its terms is expressly subordinated to the notes.  The notes will
be effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured
indebtedness of Ally to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all
existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including
trade payables) of subsidiaries of Ally that are not note
guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets of those
subsidiaries.

A copy of Ally's shelf registration statement is available at no
charge at http://is.gd/k3FPq

                        About Ally Financial

Ally Financial Inc., formerly GMAC Inc., -- http://www.ally.com/
-- is one of the world's largest automotive financial services
companies.  The company offers a full suite of automotive
financing products and services in key markets around the world.
Ally's other business units include mortgage operations and
commercial finance, and the company's subsidiary, Ally Bank,
offers online retail banking products.  Ally operates as a bank
holding company.

GMAC obtained a $17 billion bailout from the U.S. government in
exchange for a 56.3% stake.  Private equity firm Cerberus Capital
Management LP keeps 14.9%, while General Motors Co. owns 6.7%.

The Company has tapped Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc.
to advise on a range of issues, including strategic alternatives
for the mortgage business and repayment of taxpayer funds.

Ally's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed $173.191 billion
in total assets, $152.214 billion in total liabilities, and
$20.977 billion in total equity.

Ally Financial carries "C" short term issuer credit ratings, and
"B" long term issuer credit ratings, all with stable outlook, from
Standard & Poor's.  It has a "B3" issuer rating, with stable
outlook, from Moody's.  It has a "B" issuer default rating, with
positive outlook, from Fitch.


ALLY FINANCIAL: Treasury Hikes Stake to 73.8% After Conversion
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ally Financial Inc. on December 30, 2010, delivered to the United
States Department of the Treasury a notice of conversion relating
to the conversion of 110,000,000 shares of Ally Fixed Rate
Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, Series F-2
held by Treasury into common stock of Ally, par value $0.01 per
share.  The MCP Certificate of Designations allows Ally to
exercise an optional conversion, in whole or in part, subject to
the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and the prior written consent of Treasury.

On December 30, 2010, the Conversion was completed and 110,000,000
shares of MCP, all of which were owned by Treasury, were converted
into 531,850 shares of Common Stock.  Prior to the Conversion,
Treasury held roughly 56.3% of the Common Stock of Ally and
$11,437,500,000 aggregate liquidation preference amount of MCP.
Following the Conversion, Treasury holds roughly 73.8% of the
Common Stock of Ally and $5,937,500,000 aggregate liquidation
preference amount of MCP.

As a result of the Conversion and the consequent dilution of the
equity interest in Ally held by or on behalf of General Motors
Company, the Federal Reserve has determined that Ally Bank and GM
will no longer be treated as "affiliates" for purposes of Sections
23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which, among other things,
impose limitations on transactions between banks and their
affiliates.  Transactions between Ally Bank and GM will continue
to be subject to regulation and examination by the bank's primary
federal regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The issuance of Common Stock in the Conversion was exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) and Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Each holder of Ally Common Stock is party to an Amended and
Restated Governance Agreement, which establishes certain
agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to
the composition and size of Ally's Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Governance Agreement and as a result of the
Conversion, Treasury is entitled to appoint two additional members
of Ally's Board of Directors, for a total of six directors
designated by Treasury.  In accordance with the Governance
Agreement, the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to
11 members.

Prior to the Conversion, Ally submitted an amendment to the MCP
Designation to its stockholders and such amendment was approved by
a majority thereof, including at least two common holders.

                           *     *     *

Steven M. Davidoff, a commentator for The New York Times'
DealBook, says $5.5 billion worth of mandatorily convertible
preferred member securities in Ally were converted into Ally
common stock.

Mr. Davidoff says the announcement was surprising for the fact it
omitted: the government is now in the black on its Ally
investment.  According to Mr. Davidoff, to convert the preferred
securities, a valuation was required for Ally's common stock.  The
announcement did not report this valuation.

In its statement, Mr. Davidoff notes, the Treasury department
stated on Thursday that "Treasury is converting its preferred
stock at 1.0 times the book value of tangible common equity
balance as of Sept. 30, 2010, subject to certain adjustments."

Mr. Davidoff says the conversion values the total common stock of
Ally at $13.8 billion post-conversion, according to Treasury.
This means, Mr. Davidoff says, that the government's stake in the
common stock of Ally is now valued at $10.2 billion.  The
government also retains another $5.9 billion of convertible
preferred securities and $2.7 billion of trust preferred
securities.  The Treasury has already received about $2 billion in
dividends from Ally.  When this dividend is added, the total value
of the government's investment comes to $20.8 billion.

If the current valuation is correct, Mr. Davidoff continues, the
government is looking at a net gain on its investment of $3.8
billion.

According to Mr. Davidoff, the issue is whether the government can
sell at this valuation.  It appears that the Treasury is preparing
Ally for an initial public offering later this year.  According to
the same Treasury sources, Ally was already well-capitalized by
Federal Reserve Board standards.

Mr. Davidoff also notes the valuation currently ascribed to Ally
still must be tested in the market and the government's stake sold
at these prices.

ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE: Files for Chapter 11 Over Abuse Claims
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, in Wisconsin, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. E.D. Wisc. Case No.
11-20059) on January 4, 2011, to address claims over sexual abuse
by priests on minors.

The Archdiocese said on its Web site that after consultation with
its advisors, Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki directed attorneys for
the Archdiocese to file a petition for Chapter 11.  The statement
said that financial claims pending against the Archdiocese's
means, recent failure to reach a mediated resolution with
victims/survivors involved in lawsuits against the archdiocese,
along with the November court decision that insurance companies
are not bound to contribute to any financial settlement, made it
clear that reorganization is the best way to fairly and equitably
fulfill obligations.

The Archdiocese became at least the eighth Roman Catholic diocese
in the U.S. to file for bankruptcy to settle claims from current
and former parishioners who say they were sexually molested by
priests.  According to Steven Church at Bloomberg News, the
average payment to victims of sex abuse made in the bankruptcy
cases of the dioceses of Davenport, Iowa; Spokane, Washington;
Portland, Oregon; Tucson, Arizona; and Wilmington, Delaware, was
$323,000.

According to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, there are two goals for
the Chapter 11 filing:

   * The Archdiocese wants to fairly compensate victims/survivors
     with unresolved claims -- both those with claims pending and
     those who will come forward because of this proceeding.

   * The Archdiocese wants to carry on the essential ministries of
     the Archdiocese to continue to meet the needs of parishes,
     parishioners and others who rely upon the Church for
     assistance.

"A Chapter 11 reorganization is the best way to achieve these
goals.  It enables the archdiocese to use available funds to
compensate all victims/survivors with unresolved claims in a
single process overseen by a court, ensuring that all are treated
equitably. In addition, by serving as a final call for legal
claims against the archdiocese, the proceeding will allow the
Church to move forward on stable financial ground, focused on its
Gospel mission," the Archdiocese said.

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee serves 644,000 Catholics in
southeastern Wisconsin.

ARIEL FUND: Court OKs First Interim Cash Distribution of $167MM
---------------------------------------------------------------
Justice Richard B. Lowe, III, of the New York State Supreme Court
in Manhattan, has granted the motion of Bart M. Schwartz, as
Receiver for Ariel Fund Limited - a private investment fund
formerly run by J. Ezra Merkin that is alleged to have secretly
invested more than one-fourth of its assets with Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities - to distribute $167 million of cash
investment proceeds to investors who suffered losses through the
fund.  Payments were sent to all investors in the fund for
delivery in advance of the 2010 year-end (with the exception of
Mr. Merkin and his affiliates, whose payments in respect of their
investment holdings in the fund were withheld by the Receiver
pending final resolution of claims against Mr. Merkin, including,
among others, claims brought by the New York Attorney General, and
directly by the Receiver).  Mr. Schwartz was appointed as Receiver
by Justice Lowe as a result of legal action by then Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo.

When asked to comment on the first interim distribution, Mr.
Schwartz said, "I am very pleased with Justice Lowe's decision to
allow us to make this first interim distribution of cash to
injured investors, and I am delighted that we were able to get
payments out for delivery before the close of 2010.  This is a
complex matter, which required significant oversight and direction
from Justice Lowe and the Court-appointed Special Master, Leslie
Treff, to protect the interests of all parties while helping the
injured investors."  Mr. Schwartz went on to say that, "we will
continue in our efforts to maximize overall returns to investors,
including through prudent, value-preserving liquidation of the
fund's roughly $500 million in estimated value of remaining
assets, and through pursuing additional recoveries from culpable
parties.  In making this first interim distribution to investors,
we have made sure to maintain reserves sufficient to cover all of
the fund's operating needs going forward, as well as any
reasonably foreseeable potential liabilities to creditors."

Regarding prospects and timing for future interim distributions to
investors, Mr. Schwartz said, "We are making good progress in our
value realization efforts, and we are hopeful that we will be in a
position to make a further interim distribution of cash to the
fund's investors during the second or third quarter of 2011."

In describing the legal framework surrounding the first interim
distribution, the Receiver's counsel, James C. McCarroll of Reed
Smith LLP, said, "We are pleased to have played a role in
achieving this very favorable early-stage result for investors in
the fund.  To distribute cash to investors in a Cayman-domiciled
fund, through a New York State Court Receivership, with multiple
alleged creditor claims pending, required careful analysis and
structuring of the distribution plan.  We look forward to the
opportunity to participate in further distributions to investors,
as investment and claim proceeds become available."

The case is The People of the State of New York v. J. Ezra Merkin,
et al. (Index No. 450879/2009).

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, J. Ezra Merkin ceded
to New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's demands that he step
down as manager of his hedge funds Ariel Fund Limited, Ascot
Partners, L.P., and Gabriel Capital, L.P., and place them into
receivership, following the collapse of Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC.


ASARCO LLC: Parent Aims to Recover $210MM Paid for Omaha Claim
--------------------------------------------------------------
Grupo Mexico, S.A. de C.V., hopes to recover up to $210 million
in environmental liabilities paid by its subsidiary, ASARCO LLC,
for damages attributed to ASARCO's lead smelter in Omaha,
Nebraska, Dow Jones Commodities News reports.

According to the report, Grupo Mexico has initiated a procedure
in U.S. federal courts to obtain proof that officials from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency destroyed documents showing
that ASARCO was not responsible for pollution in Omaha.

"This procedure doesn't reopen the Chapter 11 process, rather it
questions and seeks information through the Freedom of Information
Act to totally or partially reclaim $210 million that
Asarco paid for environmental cleanup and corresponding damages,"
Grupo Mexico said.

In June 2009, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas approved the Amended Settlement Agreement and
Consent Decree Regarding Residual Environmental Claims for the
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Omaha, Nebraska, and Tacoma, Washington
Sites, which, among other things, approved the settlement of the
United States Government's claim against ASARCO with respect to
the Omaha Lead Superfund.  ASARCO paid a total of $1.79 billion
to various states and government agencies through separate
environmental settlements.

Representing Grupo Mexico and ASARCO, Gregory Evans, Esq., at
Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, in Los Angeles, California,
said in an interview that ASARCO got copies of e-mails in which
EPA employees discussed destroying a newer contamination survey
indicating the Omaha site was most likely polluted by peeling
lead house paint, and not smelter emissions, Laurel Brubaker
Calkins of Bloomberg News reports.

"We're alleging fraud and misconduct by the EPA, and we've got a
smoking gun to prove it," Bloomberg News quoted Mr. Evans as
saying.  "We've got e-mail after e-mail where the EPA says to
destroy documents and the e-mails discussing them, because they'd
be subject to a Freedom of Information Act request," he added.

In August 2008, ASARCO sued the EPA to compel the agency to turn
over files for a more recent study on sources of lead at the
site.  An EPA project manager swore there was nothing else, and
the court dismissed the case based in large part on those
assertions, Bloomberg News relates, citing Mr. Evans.

The documents referred in the internal EPA e-mails included
records of discussions between EPA managers and experts
concluding that EPA's air modeling did not and could not support
EPA's allegations regarding the cause of contamination at the
Omaha site, Bloomberg News says.

As previously reported, ASARCO joined Union Pacific Railroad Co.
in a separate lawsuit in a federal court in Nebraska to compel
the EPA to turn over studies relating to the site.

Union Pacific, which the EPA also blamed for the pollution at the
Omaha site, refused to settle and sued the agency.  The Nebraska
court has barred the EPA from destroying any documents related to
the region surrounding Omaha until the dispute is resolved,
according to Bloomberg News.

ASARCO LLC: Plan Admin. to Pay Barclays' Remaining Fees
-------------------------------------------------------
Asarco LLC Plan Administrator Mark A. Roberts and Barclays Capital
Inc. agree in a Bankruptcy Court-approved stipulation and order
that (i) the total remaining unpaid amount of fees and expenses
due to Barclays on its Third Interim and Final Fee Application for
the period from August 30, 2005, to December 9, 2009, is $148,064,
and (ii) the Plan Administrator, not ASARCO LLC, is responsible
for payment of, and has already paid on December 10, 2010, that
amount to Barclays.

The Plan Administrator previously asked Judge Schmidt to amend
the order approving Barclays' Final Fee Application to deduct the
amount that was already paid.

The Court, therefore, amended and clarified the order approving
Barclays' Final Fee Application to provide that the total
remaining unpaid amount of fees and expenses due on the Final Fee
Application was $148,064, and that the Plan Administrator, not
ASARCO, is responsible for payment of that amount.

Upon the payment of $148,064 to Barclays on December 10, 2010,
the Final Fee Application was paid in full and no further amounts
are due, the Court acknowledged.  The Plan Administrator's
request to amend the order approving Barclays' Final Fee
Application is resolved by the parties' agreement.

ASARCO LLC: Parent Appeals Barclays Fee Order
---------------------------------------------
ASARCO LLC, ASARCO Incorporated and Americas Mining Corporation,
and Barclays Capital Inc. separately notified the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas that they
will take an appeal to the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas from the memorandum opinion and order
on the fee application and fee enhancement motion of Barclays
entered by the Bankruptcy Court on December 2, 2010, and all
adverse orders, rulings, decrees, opinions, and judgments leading
up to, merged into, or included within the Order.

As previously reported, Bankruptcy Judge Richard S. Schmidt
approved Barclays' Final Fee Application, as purchaser of rights
to compensation of Lehman Brothers Inc., for services rendered
and reimbursement of expenses as financial advisor and investment
banker to the Reorganized Debtors for the period from August 30,
2005, to December 9, 2009.  Judge Schmidt allowed Barclays
(a) $6,641,774 in professional fees, and (b) $1,200,421 for
reimbursement of reasonable and necessary expenses.

In a separate memorandum opinion and order, Judge Schmidt
approved and directed the payment of a $975,000 discretionary fee
to Barclays.  The Court, however, denied Barclays' request for a
$6 million fee enhancement in relation to the auction of the
judgment obtained in the proceeding involving Southern Copper
Corporation.

                       Issues on Appeal

ASARCO LLC and the Parent want the District Court to determine
whether the Bankruptcy Court erred in awarding Barclays $975,000
in additional compensation for "unanticipated services" under
Section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Appellants want the
District Court to verify these questions:

  (a) Were the Bankruptcy Court's factual findings, including
      its findings about the alleged complexity of the
      bankruptcy, length of the case, market rates and
      compensation, purported "unanticipated" nature of the
      services provided, and other conditions and circumstances
      surrounding the ASARCO bankruptcy, clearly erroneous?

  (b) Did the Bankruptcy Court improperly award Barclays
      $975,000 in additional compensation under Section 328(a)
      based on "developments unforeseen" instead of requiring
      that the "intervening circumstances must have been
      incapable of anticipation, not merely unanticipated?"

  (c) Did Barclays present sufficient evidence to establish the
      "incapable of anticipation" standard?

  (d) Did the Bankruptcy Court err by retroactively approving
      Barclays' modification of the Lehman Engagement without
      subjecting the modified deal to review under Section
      328(a)?

  (e) Did the Bankruptcy Court impermissibly allow Barclays to
      recover for work allegedly performed by Lehman Brothers,
      Inc.?

The Appellants also want the District Court to determine whether,
to the extent the Order rests on Section 6(f) of the Barclays
Engagement Letter, the Bankruptcy Court erred in authorizing
$975,000 in additional compensation to Barclays.  They also filed
with the Bankruptcy Court a designation of documents and related
filings for inclusion in the record on appeal.

ASARCO LLC: Court OKs Demolitions at Corpus Christi Plant
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas
approved $3.6 million for the demolition of 50 buildings, silos
and storage tanks and for the removal of asbestos at the
Encycle/ASARCO plant in Corpus Christi, Texas, Mesothelioma.com
reports.

The Encycle/ASARCO plant is a former zinc smelting and commercial
waste management site.  According to Mesothelioma.com, the
Austin-based Energy Renewal Partners was expected to begin
preparing the site for demolition in December 2010.

Before any demolition can take place, asbestos must be removed to
prevent creating an environmental hazard.  Should demolition take
place with asbestos still present, asbestos fibers could be
released into the air and inhaled by workers and the surrounding
community.

Water sprayers and tarps will be used to control and isolate
demolition dust, and wrecking balls and explosives will not be
used.  Once demolition has been completed, contaminated soil also
will be removed from the site.

According to the agreement between the bankruptcy trustee and
Energy Renewal Partners, the project deadline is May 29, 2013,
and seven general use buildings will not be demolished, but
rather offered for sale once demolition of the other structures
is complete.

BILLY JASON HARWELL: 11th Cir. Remands Trustee Suit v. Hutton
-------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor
of Steven D. Hutton and his law firm, Steven D. Hutton, P.L., on
fraud claims asserted by Lynn H. Martinez, as Bankruptcy Trustee
for the Billy Jason Harwell estate.

The bankruptcy court assumed that Mr. Hutton had schemed with the
Debtor to have the Debtor's funds placed in Mr. Hutton's trust
account and then distributed to Mr. Harwell personally, his family
members, and selected creditors.  Despite Mr. Hutton's being
involved in, and the mastermind of, Mr. Harwell's fraudulent
transfer scheme, the bankruptcy court concluded that Ms. Martinez
could not recover the funds from Mr. Hutton because he was not the
"initial transferee" under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 550(a)(1).

The Eleventh Circuit reversed and remanded the case to the
district court with instructions to remand it to the bankruptcy
court for further proceedings consistent with the appellate
court's opinion.

Because the bankruptcy and district courts' rulings on Ms.
Martinez's state law claims relied in part on their conclusion
that Mr. Hutton was not an "initial transferee," the Eleventh
Circuit reversed the grant of summary judgment on those state law
claims too and remand those claims too to the district court with
instructions to remand them to the bankruptcy court for
reconsideration.  The Eleventh Circuit expressed no opinion on the
state law claims.

The appellate case is Lynn H. Martinez, v. Steven D. Hutton,
Steven D. Hutton, P.L., Case No. 09-14997 (11th Cir.).

The decision, dated December 29, 2010, was issued by Circuit
Judges Frank M. Hull and Stanley Marcus, and the Hon. Marcia G.
Cooke, of the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of
Florida, sitting by designation.  A copy of the decision is
available at http://is.gd/k4E9hfrom Leagle.com.

Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Billy Jason Harwell, a/k/a
8345 Bluffview Way, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. D. Colo. Case No. 05-41744) on October 10, 2005.  The case
was later converted to a Chapter 7 proceeding.  Lynn H. Martinez
was appointed as Bankruptcy Trustee.  Judge A. Bruce Campbell
presided over the case.  In his petition, the Debtor listed
$2,661,355 in assets and $3,543,434 in debts.


BORDERS GROUP: May Ask Publishers to Extend Due Dates
-----------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg reports that
people familiar with the situation said Borders Group Inc. is
expected to ask publishers on Wednesday to push back the due dates
on bills as it works out a refinancing plan.  The move will allow
Borders to conserve cash.  It's unclear whether publishers will
agree to the request.

The Journal has noted that Borders' refinancing plan could include
an infusion of new equity and a new lead bank lender.  The Journal
relates Bank of America Corp. and other lenders, including General
Electric Co.'s GE Capital, last year agreed to provide Borders
with up to $970.5 million in loans under a secured revolving
credit facility.

Mr. Trachtenberg reports that an executive at one publishing
company said Borders halted payment on a check that covered books
shipped in October.  That executive has expressed concern about
expected payments due at the end of January for books shipped in
November and February payment for books shipped in December.

Mr. Trachtenberg also relates one supplier said that he is eager
to hear what Borders has to say.

Borders declined to comment, Mr. Trachtenberg says.

According to Mr. Trachtenberg, rival Barnes & Noble Inc. on
Tuesday questioned the fairness of Borders striking special
arrangements with its suppliers.  "We think the playing field
should be even. We expect publishers to offer the same terms to
all other booksellers including Barnes & Noble and independent
booksellers," Barnes & Noble said in a statement.

Barnes & Noble expects book publishers "will require Borders to
pay their bills on the same basis upon which all other booksellers
pay theirs.  Any changes in publishers' terms should be made
available to all."

                        About Borders Group

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Borders Group, Inc. (NYSE:
BGP) -- http://www.borders.com/-- is a specialty retailer of
books as well as other educational and entertainment items.  It
employs 19,500 throughout the U.S., primarily in its Borders(R)
and Waldenbooks(R) stores.  The Wall Street Journal says Borders
is the nation's second-largest bookstore chain by revenue, behind
Barnes & Noble Inc.

The Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey Trachtenberg reported that
Borders said Dec. 30 it was delaying payments to some publishers.
According to the Journal, Borders said the delays were part of its
efforts to refinance its debt and that it had notified the
publishers with which it is seeking to restructure payments.

On December 9, 2010, Borders released its financial results for
the third quarter ended October 30, 2010.  The Company disclosed
that it was in detailed discussions with potential lenders for
replacement financing that Borders believes will provide
sufficient liquidity through at least the beginning of 2012.
Borders is also pursuing the potential sale of certain assets as
well as cost reduction and sales generating initiatives.  Borders
cautioned that there can be no assurance that it will be able to
obtain adequate financing or that its other initiatives will be
successful.  Borders also said if the steps it is taking are not
successful, it could be in violation of the terms of its credit
agreements in the first quarter of calendar 2011, which could
result in a liquidity shortfall.

As of October 30, 2010, Borders had total assets of
$1,356,600,000, total liabilities of $1,397,400,000, and
stockholders' deficit of $40,800,000.

CAPITOL BANCORP: Launches Exchange Offer for Trust Preferreds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Capitol Bancorp Limited (NYSE: CBC) launched an Exchange Offer,
offering shares of its common stock, no par value per share, for
any and all outstanding trust preferred securities issued by
Capitol Trust I, Capitol Trust II, Capitol Trust III, Capitol
Trust 4 (a/k/a Trust IV), Capitol Trust VI, Capitol Trust VII,
Capitol Trust VIII, Capitol Trust IX, Capitol Trust X, Capitol
Trust XI and Capitol Trust XII, which are statutory trusts formed
under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The offer commenced on
January 3, 2011.

For each $10.00 liquidation amount of the Trust Preferred
Securities of Capitol Trust I or Capitol Trust XII that Capitol
accepts in the Exchange Offer, Capitol will issue 10 shares of its
common stock.  For each $1,000 liquidation amount of the Trust
Preferred Securities of Capitol Trusts II-XI accepted in the
Exchange Offer, Capitol will issue 1,000 shares of its common
stock.  No accrued and unpaid interest owed by Capitol with
respect to the Trust Preferred Securities will be paid to holders
who tender any Trust Preferred Securities in the Exchange Offer.
The following Trust Preferred Securities, which constitute all of
Capitol Bancorp's outstanding Trust Preferred Securities as of
September 30, 2010, are subject to the Exchange Offer:

                                              Approximate
                                              Liquidation
    TruPS Issuer                                   Amount
    ------------                             ------------
  Capitol Trust I (NYSE: CBC-PRA)             $25,300,000
  Capitol Trust II (non-publicly held)         10,000,000
  Capitol Trust III (non-publicly held)        15,000,000
  Capitol Trust 4 (non-publicly held)           3,000,000
  Capitol Trust VI (non-publicly held)         10,000,000
  Capitol Trust VII (non-publicly held)        10,000,000
  Capitol Trust VIII (non-publicly held)       20,000,000
  Capitol Trust IX (non-publicly held)         10,000,000
  Capitol Bancorp Trust X (non-publicly held)  33,000,000
  Capitol Trust XI (non-publicly held)         20,000,000
  Capitol Trust XII (NYSE: CBC-PB)             14,500,000

Capitol's obligation to exchange common stock for Trust Preferred
Securities in the Exchange Offer is subject to a number of
conditions that must be satisfied or waived by Capitol, including,
among others, that (i) that the holders of Capitol's common stock
must approve a proposal to amend Capitol's articles of
incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
Capitol's common stock from 50,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 at a
special meeting of shareholders to be held on January 31, 2011 (or
any adjournments or postponements thereof); (ii) holders of
Capitol's common stock must approve the Exchange Offer at the
special meeting of shareholders of Capitol (or any adjournments or
postponements thereof) in accordance with Section 312.03 of the
New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual; (iii) holders of
the Trust Preferred Securities of Capitol Trust I and Capitol
Trust XII must approve the proposals to approve the amendments to
certain provisions of the Indentures and Guarantee Agreements
issued in connection with Capitol Trust I and Capitol Trust XII;
and (iv) there has been no change or development that in its
reasonable judgment may materially reduce the anticipated benefits
to Capitol of the Exchange Offer or that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the
Corporation, its businesses, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects.

If the conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) above are not met,
Capitol may proceed with the Exchange Offers subject to a
limitation of 19.9% of new shares of common stock.  If the
proposal to increase Capitol's authorized shares or the Exchange
Proposal are not approved at the special meeting of Capitol's
shareholders, depending on the aggregate liquidation amount of
Trust Preferred Securities tendered in the Exchange Offer, Capitol
may be required to prorate the Trust Preferred Securities that it
accepts in this Exchange Offer to remain within this limit. Any
Trust Preferred Securities not accepted for exchange as a result
of proration will be returned to tendering holders promptly after
the expiration date.

The Exchange Offer is one component of the capital initiatives
announced December 23, 2010, by Capitol and reported in the
Troubled Company Reporter on December 28, 2010, which are designed
to augment its existing strategic initiatives focused primarily on
affiliate divestitures, operational cost savings, balance sheet
deleveraging and system-wide liquidity.  The Exchange Offer
represents an efficient opportunity to strengthen the composition
of Capitol's capital base by increasing its Tier 1 common and
tangible common equity ratios, while also reducing the dividend
and interest expense associated with the debt securities. By
increasing its common equity component, Capitol expects to have
increased capital flexibility to take advantage of market
opportunities and implement its long-term strategies.

When the Trust Preferred Securities were originally issued, and
until recently, substantially all of those securities comprised a
crucial element of Capitol Bancorp's compliance with regulatory
capital requirements because they were a material component of
regulatory capital.  Because of Capitol Bancorp's weakened
financial condition and recent changes affecting its ability (as
well as that of other bank holding companies in the United States)
to include any portion of its Trust Preferred Securities in
regulatory capital computations, a small portion of its Trust
Preferred Securities are included in the Corporation's current
regulatory capital measurements and will cease to be includable in
the future.

Currently, interest payments on all of Capitol Bancorp's Trust
Preferred Securities are in a deferral period, which commenced in
mid-2009 as a component of the Corporation's efforts to conserve
cash resources.  In addition, Capitol Bancorp is prohibited from
making any interest payments on the Trust Preferred Securities
without prior regulatory approval.  By increasing its common
equity foundation through the Trust Preferred Securities exchange
offer and other contemplated components of its capital strategy,
which are described herein, Capitol Bancorp expects flexibility to
prospectively pursue market opportunities and implement longer-
term operating strategies that can be pursued at the appropriate
time, subject to approval of the Trust Preferred Securities
exchange offer and the other matters discussed in this
announcement.

The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer are set
forth in the Offering Memorandum and Letter of Transmittal for the
Exchange Offer, which are being sent separately to holders of the
Trust Preferred Securities.  As reported in the Troubled Company
Reporter on Dec. 28, 2010, Capitol Bancorp filed a preliminary
proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission -- see
http://is.gd/jkAa2-- outlining the planned actions that will be
voted upon by the holders of Capitol Bancorp's common stock at a
special meeting scheduled to be held on January 31, 2011.

The Exchange Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., Lansing, Michigan
time on January 31, 2011, unless extended or terminated early.

Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP has provided Capitol with
legal advice in connection with the Exchange Offer.

The Exchange Offer is being made in reliance upon the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
This press release is for informational purposes only and neither
an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of the Trust
Preferred Securities issued by the Capitol Trusts, nor is it a
solicitation for acceptance of the Exchange Offer. Capitol is
making the Exchange Offer only by, and pursuant to the terms of,
the relevant Exchange Offer Documents. The Exchange Offer is not
being made in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance
thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky
or other laws of such jurisdiction. None of Capitol, its financial
or legal advisors, the trustees of the Capitol Trusts, the
exchange agent or any of their respective affiliates is making any
recommendation as to whether holders should tender their Trust
Preferred Securities in connection with the Exchange Offer.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: St. Dennis Wants Lift Stay to Use Insurance
------------------------------------------------------------
St. Dennis' Roman Catholic Church asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware for relief from the automatic stay to
allow the use of proceeds from insurance policies, under which the
Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, Inc., is named as a co-insured, to
fund any settlement reached between St. Dennis and Joseph Curry in
the case filed in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware in
and for New Castle County and styled Joseph Curry v. Catholic
Diocese of Wilmington, Inc. and St. Dennis' Roman Catholic Church
(C.A. No. 08C-07-239 (CLS)).

The filing of the Diocese's bankruptcy petition stayed the State
Court Action with respect to the Diocese, relates William D.
Sullivan, Esq., at Sullivan Hazeltine Allinson LLC, in Wilmington,
Delaware.  He adds that on February 4, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court
entered an order extending the automatic stay to certain other
non-debtor entities, including the Parish.

On August 30, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court lifted the stay to allow
certain personal injury actions to proceed against specified non-
debtor entities, including the Parish in the State Court Action.
After the stay was lifted, the State Court Action continued
against the Parish only.  The trial in the State Court Action is
currently scheduled for January 3, 2011.

The Parish and the Plaintiff have attended two mediations and
engaged in extensive settlement negotiations in an attempt to
reach a settlement of the Plaintiff's claims against the Parish in
the State Court Action, Mr. Sullivan informs the Court.  He
asserts that the relief sought in the request will be required if
the parties are able to reach a settlement prior to the scheduled
trial.

The proceeds to pay any settlement of Mr. Curry's claims against
St. Dennis will come from insurance policies issued by the
Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania and Certain
Underwriters at Lloyds, London, Mr. Sullivan says.  He notes that
the Insurance Policies are in the name of the Diocese, but
identify the Parish as an additional insured and provide coverage
to both the Parish and the Diocese under the same terms and
limits.

Therefore, Mr. Sullivan asserts, payment of any settlement from
insurance proceeds would reduce the amount available under the
Insurance Policies to pay other claims against the Diocese.
Accordingly, the Parish seeks relief from the automatic stay to
allow the use of proceeds from the Insurance Policies to pay the
Plaintiff, if the Parish and the Plaintiff are able to reach a
consensual settlement.

The Parish reserves its right to withdraw the request if no
settlement is reached.

A hearing will be held on January 3, 2011, to consider the
request.

                  Creditors Committee Objects

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors asks Judge
Christopher Sontchi to deny the request arguing that:

  (a) the request does not disclose which insurance policies are
      being used to pay the potential settlement;

  (b) St. Dennis' contention that it cannot pay a settlement
      absent an insurance contribution cannot be evaluated in
      the absence of information regarding St. Dennis' financial
      condition; and

  (c) the request is based on speculation regarding the terms of
      a settlement.

Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, contends that given the Diocese's and St.
Dennis' insurance program, the information as to which policies
are being used to pay the potential settlement is essential to a
determination of whether the payment of a settlement from
insurance proceeds is prejudicial to the bankruptcy estate.

St. Dennis' assertion relating to its "speculation" of the
settlement terms illustrates that the request is premature and
should not be heard until a settlement is documented and presented
to the Bankruptcy Court, Ms. Jones contends.

                  About the Diocese of Wilmington

Maryland and serves about 230,000 Catholics.  The Delaware diocese

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Morgan Lewis Fees Capped at $150,000

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Fairbanks Reports on Progress of Undertakings
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Catholic Bishop of Northern Alaska filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska a status report
pursuant to Section 17.12 of the Diocese and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors' Third Amended and Restated Joint
Plan of Reorganization, which became effective on March 19, 2010.

Section 17.12 requires the Diocese to file semi-annual reports
regarding non-monetary steps undertaken to promote healing and
reconciliation of abuse survivors.

The Diocese filed its first status report on August 17, 2010.
Since that time, the Diocese has also accomplished these items:

  (a) The Diocese's Web site, located at http://www.cbna.info,
      continues to display prominent links to the names of all
      known perpetrators, admitted, proven or credibly accused,
      including all deceased perpetrators, and to include
      prominent links where survivors can report abuse and view
      the Bishop's letter of apology;

  (b) Bishop Donald J. Kettler continues to conduct Healing and
      Listening Sessions, and as of December 17, 2010, Healing
      and Listening Sessions have been conducted at 17 of the 32
      Parishes.  Most recently, the Bishop conducted several
      Healing and Listening Sessions in the Stebbins and St.
      Michael's Parishes.  The Bishop will continue to hold
      those Sessions in the future;

  (c) Prior to each Parish Healing and Listening Session, the
      Diocese sent individual invitations to abuse survivors
      encouraging their attendance, notified each Parish
      Administrator, and has posted general announcements
      regarding the Sessions on the Parish bulletin board and
      appropriate public places, like tribal hall and the post
      office.  Similarly, general announcements regarding the
      sessions have been broadcast on KNOM;

  (d) At each Session, the Bishop conducts a Healing Mass at
      which he encourages parishioners to support the abuse
      survivors, and lists the perpetrators, which is in
      addition to the list of perpetrators already posted in the
      church.  He urges survivors to report abuse to law
      enforcement officers, the Diocesan Victim Assistance
      Coordinator, and their healthcare and survivor
      organizations.  The Bishop also assures survivors that
      they will not go to hell for reporting abuse and do not
      commit any sin in coming forward;

  (e) Alaska's three Catholic Bishops expressed contrition in
      August 2010, when they convened to conduct listening
      sessions, lead healing services for survivors of abuse,
      visit elders, and visit those homebound by illness; and

  (f) Bishop Kettler also led a general healing and
      reconciliation Mass in Fairbanks at the Alaska Federation
      of Natives convention on October 20, 2010, at which his
      homily was directed to contrition and to healing for the
      abuse survivors.  This homily is posted on the Web site
      for continuing review and for the use of any survivors,
      who were unable to attend the Mass.

CELEBRITY RESORTS: Emerges from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
----------------------------------------------------------------
Orlando Sentinel reports that Celebrity Resorts LLC has emerged
from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.  A lawyer with the Company
said the Company has left bankruptcy "fully intact" with no job
losses.

As reported in the Jan. 4, 2011 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, the Plan was confirmed by the bankruptcy court over
objections filed by Dr. Neil S. Meyers and other parties.

The bankruptcy cases filed by the Debtors stem from a ferocious
family dispute regarding the ownership and control of the Debtors'
timeshare enterprise.  Dr. Meyers has challenged the Debtors'
actions at every step of this proceeding.  Dr. Meyers contested
the bankruptcy filings asserting he, and not his eldest son Jared
M. Meyers, owns and controls the Debtors.  Dr. Meyers acquired the
secured claim of the Debtors' primary secured creditor, Farmington
Bank, which has generated significant litigation involving the
claim's valuation and confirmation.  The younger sons Derek Meyers
and Dylan Meyers have been involved in the disputes.

The Court scheduled the ownership, claim valuation, and
confirmation evidentiary hearings on an expedited basis due to the
time constraints imposed by the Debtors' financing agreement with
Textron Inc., a maker of Cessna airplanes.

Textron agreed to provide the Debtors with a $4 million
forward financing facility for the sales of timeshare units, but
the financing is contingent upon the confirmation of the Debtors'
Plan before December 31, 2010.

The Plan has been accepted in writing by the requisite majorities
of all Impaired Classes of Claims, except as to the Class 4 Claim
held by Farmington Bank and assigned to Dr. Meyers.  The holder of
the Class 4 Claim voted against the Plan.  The Debtors have sought
"cramdown" with respect to the Class 4 Claim.

In its confirmation order, the Court ruled that the Class 4 Claim
is a secured claim and is subject to cramdown pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Section 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii).  Dr. Meyers will realize the
indubitable equivalent of the Class 4 Claim through the conveyance
of the FB Timeshare Inventory to him, which conveyance will
satisfy the claim in full. 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii).

A copy of the Court's Confirmation Order is available at
http://is.gd/k06Onfrom Leagle.com.

Orlando, Florida-based Celebrity Resorts, LLC, and 35 affiliates
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 5, 2010
(Bankr. M.D. Fla. Lead Case No. 10-03550).  R. Scott Shuker, Esq.,
at Latham Shuker Eden & Beaudine LLP, assists the Debtor in its
restructuring effort.  The Company estimated assets and debts at
$10 million to $50 million in its Chapter 11 petition.

CLAIM JUMPER: Has Until April 11 to File Chapter 11 Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware extended Claim Jumper Restaurants LLC and Claim Jumper
Management LLC's exclusive period to propose a Chapter 11 plan
until April 11, 2011, and exclusive period to solicit acceptances
of that plan until June 9, 2011.

Judge Gross ruled that the Debtors' extension request is in the
best interest of their creditors and all other parties in
interest.  He determined that the legal and factual bases set in
the request establish just cause for the relief.

DYNAMIS GROUP: Naja Holds First Priority Equitable Lien
-------------------------------------------------------
Naja, LLC, v. Jack's Company, LLC, et al., Adv. Pro. No. 10-3030
(Bankr. W.D. Ky.), seeks an order declaring that certain of the
Defendants owe Plaintiff $1,800,000 plus costs, late fees,
interest, penalties and attorney's fees; that Plaintiff has an
equitable lien on all assets sold pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement entered as of July 12, 2004 between Plaintiff, W.P.B.
Oil Company, Inc., The Dynamis Group, LLC, Molly Company, LLC, and
Helmick Oil Company, LLC, and that such equitable lien is superior
to any other lien in such assets.  Plaintiff's complaint also
seeks an order enjoining any of the Defendants from disposing of
any of such assets.  Plaintiff's presentation of its case at the
trial upon the merits and Plaintiff's pre-trial and post-trial
briefs make it clear, however, that Plaintiff is at this time
seeking only an adjudication that Plaintiff has a first priority
equitable lien on the real estate transferred pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement for the unpaid portion of the $1,800,000
promissory note given by Jack's Company as part of the
consideration for the purchase of such property, plus costs and
attorney's fees.

Bankruptcy Judge Thomas H. Fulton concludes that Plaintiff holds a
first priority equitable lien against the real property
transferred under the Asset Purchase Agreement.  A copy of the
Court's January 3, 2011 Memorandum-Opinion is available at
http://is.gd/k4T2Zfrom Leagle.com.

Based in Louisville, Kentucky, The Dynamis Group LLC filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D. Ky. Case No. 09-34645) on
September 11, 2009.  Dynamis' affiliates also filed for Chapter 11
on the same day: Jack's Company, LLC (Case No. 09-34647), Molly,
LLC (Case No. 09-34649) and Helmick Oil Company, LLC (Case No. 09-
34650).  David M. Cantor, Esq. -- cantor@derbycitylaw.com -- at
Seiller Waterman LLC, serves as bankruptcy counsel.  In its
petition, Dynamis listed $1 million to $10 million in both assets
and debts.


EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS: Issues 2 Million Shares Under Equity Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
In a Form S-8 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on December 29, 2010, Emmis Communications Corporation said that
it is offering 1,970,000 shares of Class A common stock at a
proposed maximum offering price of $0.66 per share and 30,000
shares of Class A common stock at a proposed maximum offering
price of $0.58 per share.  Both securities are offered under the
Emmis Communications Corporation 2010 Equity Compensation Plan.

Up to 1,000,000 of the 1,970,000 shares can be issued under the
plan in the form of Class B Common Stock, which is immediately
convertible at the option of the holder without payment of
additional consideration into Class A Common Stock and
automatically converted upon sale or other transfer.

According to the Company, there are 917,992 shares of Class A
common stock which are available for issuance but not subject to
outstanding awards under the Emmis Communications Corporation 2004
Equity Compensation Plan, which are carried over to the 2010 Plan.
The shares available under the 2004 Plan also include shares that
have become available for issuance under the Emmis Communications
Corporation 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, the Emmis Communications
Corporation 2001 Equity Incentive Plan and the Emmis
Communications Corporation 2002 Equity Compensation Plan, which
were carried over into the 2004 Plan.

In addition, the 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of additional
shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans to the
extent such shares would again become available for new grants
under the terms of the Prior Plans if the Prior Plans were still
in effect.

                           About Emmis

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Emmis Communications
Corporation -- http://www.emmis.com/-- owns and operates 22 radio
stations serving New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis,
Austin, Indianapolis, and Terre Haute, as well as national radio
networks in Slovakia and Bulgaria.  The company also publishes six
regional and two specialty magazines.  Its revenue for the twelve
months ending August 31, 2010, was approximately $250 million.

In November 2010, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Caa2
Corporate Family Rating and Caa3 Probability of Default rating for
Emmis Communications Corporation, as well as its SGL-4 speculative
grade liquidity rating.  Operating performance improved with the
economic recovery, but absent debt reduction with proceeds from an
asset sale or equity infusion Emmis will likely breach its
leverage covenant when the covenant suspension period ends for the
quarter ending November 30, 2011, in Moody's opinion.

Emmis' Caa2 corporate family rating and Caa3 probability of
default rating incorporate expectations for a covenant breach in
November 2011.  Moody's considers the company's capital structure
unsustainable, and its operations in the cyclical advertising
business magnify this challenge.  Furthermore, Emmis relies on two
markets, Los Angeles and New York, for approximately 50% of its
revenue, although its ownership of stations in top markets
including Chicago as well as NY and LA, support the rating.

The negative outlook incorporates Moody's expectations that Emmis
will not comply with its maximum leverage covenant when effective
for the quarter ending November 30, 2011.

EQK BRIDGEVIEW: Can Use Cash Collateral on Interim Basis
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
authorized EQK Bridgeview Plaza Inc. to use the cash collateral
securing its obligations to prepetition lenders, on an interim
basis.  A hearing is set for Jan. 13, 2010, at 9:30 a.m., to
consider final approval.

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 22, 2010, as
of the Petition Date, the Debtor is allegedly indebted to:

     i) Grand Pacific Finance Corp. pursuant to a loan made to the
        Debtor by Grand Pacific on March 24, 2005, in the original
        principal amount of $7,197,000;

    ii) Bank of America, N.A., as indenture trustee under the
        Indenture, dated November 30, 2006, between Hometown
        Commercial Trust 2006-1 and LaSalle Bank National
        Association, acting through its servicer Midland Loan
        Services, Inc., pursuant to a loan originally made to
        Transcontinental Brewery, Inc., by Hometown Commercial
        Capital, LLC, on October 13, 2006, in the original
        principal amount of $2,450,000;

   iii) Branch Banking & Trust Company pursuant to a loan
        originally made to EQK Windmill Farms, LLC, a Nevada
        Corporation, by Colonial Bank, N.A., on November 17, 2006,
        in the original principal amount of $43,806,786; and

    iv) Grand Pacific pursuant to a loan made to South Cochran
        Corporation by Grand Pacific on or about January 12,
        2005, in the original principal amount of $3,750,000.

Melissa S. Hayward, Esq., at Franklin Skierski Lovall Hayward LLP,
explained that the Debtor needs the money to fund its Chapter 11
case, pay suppliers and other parties.  The Debtor will use the
collateral pursuant to a budget, a copy of which is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/EQK_budget.pdf

According to the Debtor, each of the lenders' respective interests
is adequately protected.  Each lender, says the Debtor, is
significantly oversecured, as the value of the real property
serving as collateral for each respective Lender significantly
exceeds the amount of the indebtedness.

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtor will provide
each lender with a replacement lien on post-petition income to
protect each lender to the extent of any diminution in value of
its respective collateral.

FLINKOTE COMPANY: Files 19th Exclusivity Extension Motion
---------------------------------------------------------
Flinkote Company and Flinkote Mines Ltd. asked the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware to further extend their
exclusive period to file a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization until
May 31, 2011, and solicit acceptances of that plan until July 31,
2011.  This is the Debtors' 19th request for extension.

A hearing is set for Feb. 14, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., to consider
approval of the extension request.  Objections is due Jan. 28,
2011.  The Debtors' current plan and solicitation deadlines are
set to expire on Dec. 31, 2010, and Feb. 28, 2010, respectively.

Kevin T. Lantry, Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP, recounts in the
extension request that on July 17, 2009, the Debtors filed the
amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, as amended on Aug. 5, 2010.
The modified plan was accepted by an overwhelming majority of all
the classes of creditors and asbestos claimants, including nearly
95% of the Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants.  At a hearing held
on Dec. 13, 2010, the Court ordered the reopening of the record on
confirmation of the Plan for the limited purpose of submitting
evidence relating to the profitability or loss of the Debtors'
property management business.  Also at the hearing, the Court
directed:

     i) the Debtors to file and serve a profit and loss statement
        and any revised pro formas to be included in the Plan, on
        or before Jan. 14, 2011; and

    ii) the Plan Proponents and Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited to
        meet and confer regarding a schedule governing
        ITCAN's discovery related to the profit and loss
        statement, including expert evidence if needed,
        by Feb. 5, 2011.

Mr. Lantry related that the Court also indicated at the hearing
that, at or following the omnibus hearing currently scheduled for
Feb. 14, 2011, the Court would set a date for continuation of the
hearing to consider confirmation of the modified plan, which
commenced on Oct. 25 and 26, 2010.

The Debtors said the Official Committee of Asbestos Personal
Injury Claimants and legal representative of future asbestos
claimants support the extension request.

FORD MOTOR: Says Sales Up 19% in 2010
-------------------------------------
Ford Motor Co. said its full-year sales totaled 1.935 million, up
19% versus a year ago, marking the largest increase of any full-
line manufacturer.

A copy of Ford's sales report is available at http://is.gd/k7R0t

The Wall Street Journal's Sharon Terlep and Dow Jones Newswires'
John Kell report that U.S. auto sales rose 11% in December 2010.

According to Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell:

     -- General Motors Co.'s sales rose 8.5% in December and 7.2%
        for the full year;

     -- Ford Motor Co.'s sales increased 6.8% in December and
        almost 20% for the full year;

     -- Chrysler Group LLC's sales increased 16.4% in December and
        16.5% for 2010;

     -- Hyundai Motor Co. said December sales climbed 33% to
        44,802.  For the full year, its sales totaled 538,228, up
        24%; and

     -- Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales fell 5.5% in December and were
        flat for the year.

The report notes Chrysler sold 1.1 million vehicles last year,
hitting the target set a year ago by Chief Executive Sergio
Marchionne.  The report also says it was the first year Hyundai's
U.S. sales exceeded 500,000 vehicles.

In a statement, GM said its dealers reported 223,932 total sales
in December, a 16% increase from a year ago for the company's four
brands.  The gain was driven by solid retail sales which were 27%
higher than a strong December a year ago.  For the calendar year,
total sales for GM's four brands increased 21% to 2,202,927, while
retail sales rose 16% for the year.  GM's four brands sold 118,435
more vehicles in 2010 than the company did with eight brands in
2009, and will gain total and retail market share for the year.  A
copy of GM's sales report is available at http://is.gd/k7QVd

According to Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell, the sales results cap a year
that suggests the auto industry is on the verge of one of the most
dramatic shifts in its history.  The report points out that for
most of the past century, the U.S. car industry was dominated by
General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC.  Now,
as a result of both long-term trends and the upheaval of the last
two years, the Big Three are about to be replaced by a Gang of
Seven as the industry's driving force.

Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell also note that Hyundai saw its U.S. market
share in 2010 climb to just short of 5%.  If Hyundai crosses that
threshold as expected this year, the U.S. market will have seven
manufacturers -- GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda Motor Co., Chrysler,
Nissan Motor Co. and Hyundai -- with market share of 5% or more.
That's a dramatic shift from the days when the three Detroit
companies dominated the market and dictated the industry's
direction, the report relates.

                         About Ford Motor

Headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) --
http://www.ford.com/-- manufactures or distributes automobiles
across six continents.  With about 200,000 employees and about 90
plants worldwide, the company's automotive brands include Ford,
Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo.  The Company provides financial
services through Ford Motor Credit Company.

Ford's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed $177.07 billion in
total assets, $178.81 billion in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $1.77 billion.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on October 12, 2010,
Moody's Investors Service raised the Corporate Family Rating of
Ford Motor to Ba2 from B1.  Other ratings that were raised include
Probability of Default to Ba2 from B1; senior secured credit
facility to Baa3 from Ba1; senior unsecured to Ba3 from B2; and,
preferred stock to B1 from B3.  Moody's also raised the CFR and
senior unsecured ratings of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, FCE
Bank Plc, and Ford Credit Canada Limited to Ba2 from Ba3.  The
rating outlook for Ford and Ford Credit is stable.

Moody's said Ford's operating performance exceeded expectations
during the first half of 2010.  Moody's believe that Ford is well
positioned to continue generating strong earnings and cash flow
through 2011, and to further strengthen its balance sheet.  Ford's
ability to achieve this progress will be supported by the much
healthier industry fundamentals that have resulted from the
extensive restructuring of the US automotive sector during the
past two years, and by Ford's highly competitive product
portfolio.

As reported by the TCR in August 2010, Dominion Bond Rating
Service upgraded the Issuer Rating of Ford Motor to BB (low) from
B; Fitch Ratings upgraded Ford's and Ford Motor Credit's Issuer
Default Ratings to 'BB-' from 'B'; and Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Ford Motor and Ford
Motor Credit LLC to 'B+' from 'B-'.  The rating agencies cited
Ford's strong financial performance and substantial debt reduction
accomplished in the second quarter of 2010.

member, signed and submitted before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Florida, Chapter 11 petitions for 13
companies:

  Debts: $10 million to $50 million

Don M Stichter, Esq., at Stichter, Riedel, Blain & Prosser, in
Tampa, Florida, serves as counsel to the Debtors.

Michael Braga at Herald-Tribune reports the Chapter 11 filings
came three months after a bankruptcy reorganization plan for one
of Mr. Menke's companies -- North Port Gateway LLC -- was rejected
by creditors.  North Port Gateway managed an 88-acre retail and
office project called Sumter Crossing.  North Port Gatewayr filed
for Chapter 11 protection on March 30, 2009 (Bankr. M. D. Fla.
Case No. 09- 06029).  The case was dismissed on September 3, 2010.

According to Herald-Tribune, citing papers filed with the Court,
North Port had built two buildings totaling 61,000 square feet,
and had been promised $30.5 million from Fifth Third Bank to
complete two more totaling 47,000 square feet.  The Company
complained that Fifth Third failed to provide about $10 million of
the promised funds.  Rather than let Fifth Third take control of
his largely successful development, Mr. Menke filed for bankruptcy
protection and submitted a plan proposing that his company pay off
$8 million in debt to Fifth Third over an eight-year period at a 5
percent interest rate.  But Fifth Third, which claims it is owned
$22.7 million, objected and the plan was rejected by a judge.

GARNET BIOTHERAPEUTICS: Lack of Funds Prompt Ch. 11 Filing
----------------------------------------------------------
NetDockets reports that Garnet BioTherapeutics, Inc., blamed its
bankruptcy filing on a lack of operating funds resulting from its
failure to generate any revenue combined with the collapse of its
expected round of funding, netDockets says.

Garnet said this lack of operating capital has resulted in its
failure to remain current on its obligations and Garnet was facing
eviction from its facility, mechanics' liens asserted by
construction vendors, and lawsuits by former employees for unpaid
wages and benefits, according to the report.

Garnet BioTherapeutics is a Malvern, Pennsylvania-based "clinical
stage regenerative medicine company."  The Company, then named
Neuronyx, Inc., was founded in 2000 and spent $45 million in
investment funds between 2000 and 2008 pursuing "cell development
and cardiac interests" without commercial success.

In 2008, according to netDockets, the Company raised an additional
$10.4 million in venture backing, changed management, and
refocused its product development efforts on the development of
"cellular therapy in the treatment of post-surgical wound repair."
According to TechCrunch's CrunchBase database, investors in that
funding round included Alliance Technology Ventures, SCP Vitalife
Partners, and Safeguard Scientifics, Inc.  Despite ten years and
over $50 million in funding, court filings report that the company
has yet to generate any commercial revenues, the report relates.

In March of this year, Garnet announced in a press release that
"the first patient has been treated in a Phase 2 multicenter,
double-blind, placebo-controlled study of its lead product
candidate GBT009 at Unity Hospital in Rochester, New York,"
according to netDockets.

NetDockets says the March test was intended to test the use of
GBT009 "for the treatment of incisional wounds following breast
reconstruction surgery."  Following that announcement, court
filings report that Garnet received $500,000 of bridge loans from
existing investors with the expectation that Garnet would close a
new round of financing this fall, the report relates.

However, the report notes, the expected investors in the new round
were unhappy with Garnet's "future business direction as well as
the terms and conditions for a future financing" and the round did
not close. Early this month, Garnet received an $800,000 secured
line of credit from Silicon Valley Bank and drew $400,000 on that
LOC.

Garnet BioTherapeutics, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 protection on
Dec. 28, 2010 (Bankr. D. Del. Case NO. 10-14165).  William A.
Hazeltine, Esq., at Sullivan Hazeltine Allinson LLC, in
Wilmington, Delaware, serves as counsel.  The Debtor estimated
$1,000,001 to $10,000,000 in assets and debts in its Chapter 11
petition.


GAYLER FAMILY: Case Summary & 2 Largest Unsecured Creditors

GEO W PARK: Can Solicit Votes for Chapter 11 Plan
-------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina
conditionally approved an amended disclosure statement describing
the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization dated Dec. 17, 2010, filed
by L. Stan Neely, the Chapter 11 trustee for Geo W. Park Seed Co.
Inc. and its debtor-affiliates.

Creditors have until Jan. 31, 2011, to vote to accept or reject
the plan.  A final hearing is set for Feb. 8, 2010, at 1:00 p.m.,
to consider final approval of the trustee's Disclosure Statement.
Objections, if any, are due Jan. 31, 2011.

The Plan provides for the distribution of the remaining cash
assets of the estate -- after payment to Wells Fargo and the
Hachenbergers pursuant to a settlement -- to the general unsecured
creditors, after payment in full of all administrative claims,
payment in full of taxes owed to the County of Greenwood, and
payment in full of priority unsecured claims.

Wells Fargo and the Hachenbergers collectively have a first lien
over all the assets that were sold to J&P Park Acquisitions Inc.
Under the settlement, Wells Fargo and the Hachenbergers have
agreed to receive payment of $6,773,275 in full satisfaction of
their liens and other claims against the estate.  Because the sale
proceeds were not enough to pay the first liens in full, the liens
of junior lienholders are unsecured, and the claims of the junior
lienholders will be treated as general unsecured claims in the
Plan.

On August 23, 2010, the auction and sale hearing were conducted
and competitive bidding ensued.  The Court eventually approved the
improved stalking horse bid by J&P Park as the highest and best
offer for the assets, with a total gross consideration of
approximately $12,800,000, including a cash payment of $8,264,095.

Wells Fargo and the Hachenbergers have agreed, pursuant to the
Settlement, to a carve-out of $2,500,000.  The carve-out will be
used to pay administrative claims, taxes to the County of
Greenwood, and unsecured priority claims, with any remainder
distributed to the general unsecured creditors.

In addition, the plan will pay holders of general unsecured, owing
$47,000,000 in aggregate, will be paid on a pro rata basis from
estate funds remaining after all valid claims are paid.

GLOBAL POWER: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Global Power Equipment Group
Inc.'s B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2 rating on its $60 million
senior secured revolving credit facility due 2014.  Moody's
withdrew the Caa1 rating on the term loan following repayment in
entirety.  The rating outlook remains stable.

GPEG recently announced that it repaid its $24.6 million term loan
using balance sheet cash.  Moody's estimate a pro forma cash
balance of $63 million based on approximately $88 million of cash
reported at September 30, 2010.  The affirmation of the CFR and
senior secured revolver rating reflects Moody's expectation that
GPEG will maintain adequate liquidity to support operations until
conditions improve in key power generation end markets.  Order
backlog has improved in the cyclical products segment during 2010
and Moody's expect this could support operating performance in
late 2011 and 2012.

The B2 CFR continues to reflect modest scale, exposure to highly
cyclical power generation end markets, and relatively high
customer concentration.  The CFR favorably reflects low absolute
debt, modest fixed charges, good liquidity, and an established
position as a provider of products and serviced to power
generation markets.  Moody's believes that Global Power's size and
exposure to the highly cyclical power generation business are not
conducive to a highly leveraged profile and thus Global Power must
maintain stronger credit metrics than its similarly rated peers.
The CFR is supported further by some degree of a base level of
cash flow generation provided by GPEG's stable, lower margin
services segment.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's expectation that
GPEG will maintain strong debt protection metrics and maintain
adequate liquidity to support operations until conditions improve
in key power generation end markets.  Upward momentum is somewhat
limited currently by modest scale, trough cycle business
conditions, and uncertain operating prospects over the near-term.
Given the current debt level, a downgrade is unlikely.  However,
Moody's could consider a negative action in the prolonged absence
of improved order trends, if margins deteriorated significantly,
or if GPEG pursued incremental debt financing such that the debt
metrics eroded significantly and leverage remained above 4x on a
sustained basis.

Ratings affirmed:

* Corporate Family Rating at B2

* Probability of Default Rating at B2

* $60 million senior secured credit facility due 2014 at B2 (LGD4,
  53%)

Rating withdrawn:

* Senior secured term loan due 2014
* Outlook is Stable

Global Power, headquartered in Tulsa, OK, is a comprehensive
provider of power generation equipment and maintenance services
for customers in the domestic and international energy, power
infrastructure and service industries.  Revenues were
approximately $561 million for LTM period ended September 30,
2010.


GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: NJ Grocery Distributor Faces Layoffs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Woodbridge Logistics, the New Jersey-based grocery distributor
for A&P and Pathmark stores, said it may lay off more than 1,000
workers in February, according to a December 24, 2010 report by
Newsday.

Woodbridge Logistics' officials said they filed a notice earlier
this month with state regulators warning of terminating 1,114
employees and shutting down six warehouses in the wake of a
bankruptcy filing by The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., the
operator of A&P and Pathmark stores.

The layoffs would take place at all six of Woodbridge Logistics'
warehouses, which include New Brunswick, North Brunswick, Dayton
and three locations in Woodbridge, according to a report by The
Star-Ledger-NJ.com.

Richard Smith, Woodbridge Logistics spokesman, said the bankruptcy
filing was only one of "myriad pressures" facing the distributor,
The Star-Ledger-NJ.com reported.

GENERAL MOTORS: Old GM Objects to Hunter & Gonzales' Claim
----------------------------------------------------------
Motors Liquidation Co., formerly General Motors Corp., and its
affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to:

  (i) disallow Claim No. 19633 filed by LaRonda Hunter and Robin
      Gonzales, individually and on behalf of a class that
      consists of California sub-class members and nationwide
      sub-class members; or

(ii) in the alternative, allow the Claim to proceed only as an
      individual claim on behalf of Plaintiffs and not as a
      class claim.

The Claim relates to a complaint filed by the Putative Classes in
the Superior Court of the State of California, arising from the
Debtors' marketing and sale of certain 1999-2005 model year trucks
and sport utility vehicles containing allegedly defective parking
brake systems.  The Putative Classes were not certified before
June 1, 2009, and the Plaintiffs have not sought class
certification from the Bankruptcy Court.

Joseph H. Smolinsky, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, contends that:

  (i) the Plaintiffs have failed to satisfy the basic procedural
      requirements of Rule 9014 of the Federal Rules of
      Bankruptcy Procedure;

(ii) the Putative Classes do not satisfy Rule 23 of the Federal
      Rules of Civil Procedure;

(iii) even if the Putative Classes did not satisfy Rule 23, the
      benefits that generally support class certification in
      civil litigation are not realized in these Chapter 11
      cases; and

(iv) certain of the claims has been settled and released.

Mr. Smolinsky explains that the Claim does not satisfy Rule 23
because, among other reasons, the Plaintiffs are neither typical
of the Putative Classes nor adequate class representatives.
Although the Plaintiffs seek to represent persons who purchased
vehicles with two distinct parking brake systems -- the PBR and
TRW Systems -- they lack standing to represent those with TRW
Systems because neither Plaintiff had a vehicle with a TRW
System, he points out.  Moreover, the Plaintiffs' claims on
behalf of those they arguably might have standing to represent --
the members of the Putative Classes with PBR Systems and
automatic transmissions -- have been largely mooted by the prior
class action settlement between the Debtors and Boyd Bryant,
individually and as class representative of a class of persons
with 1999-2002 1500 series trucks and pickups with automatic
transmissions and PBR Systems, he relates.

Despite notice by publication of the Bar Date to the putative
class members encompassed by the Claim, other than the claim
filed by the Plaintiffs, and the claims filed in connection with
the Bryant Settlement, there have been no claims filed against
the Debtors in connection with the Debtors' Products, Mr.
Smolinsky stresses. Given that the Debtors have provided that
notice, it would be unfair and unnecessary to burden the Debtors'
estates with the additional cost and associated delay of
providing these potential claimants with a second opportunity to
assert claims as class claimants, he insists.

GENERAL MOTORS: Old GM Objects to Schwartz's $334 Mil. Claim
------------------------------------------------------------
Motors Liquidation Co., formerly General Motors Corp., and its
affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to disallow Claim Nos. 16440 and 16441 for
$334,847,925 filed by Michael A. Schwartz.

Mr. Schwartz is a "co-lead counsel for the class" that filed a
purported class action complaint against General Motor Corporation
and Saturn Corporation for alleged defective timing chains used in
certain Saturn vehicles and oiling nozzles that were
insufficiently lubricating.  The Putative Classes were not
certified before the Petition Date and the Saturn Plaintiffs have
not sought class certification from the Bankruptcy Court.

The Claim should be disallowed because, among other things,
(i) the Saturn Plaintiffs have failed to satisfy Rule 9014 of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure; (ii) the benefits that
generally support class certification in civil litigation are not
realizable in these Chapter 11 cases; and (iii) the putative class
does not satisfy Rule 23, Joseph H. Smolinsky, Esq., at Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York, contends.  He stresses that
Saturn Plaintiffs are neither typical of the putative classes nor
adequate class representatives.

Mr. Smolinsky also points out that the proposed definition of the
putative class is overbroad since it includes many persons who
have no valid claim.  It is not administratively possible to
identify proposed class numbers, he adds.  In addition, the need
for injunctive relief sought by the Claim has been mooted and
would provide no deterrent effect, as the Debtors no longer
operate a business and are liquidating, he insists.

Given that the Debtors' provided publication notice to the
putative class members encompassed by the Claim, it would be
unfair and unnecessary to burden the Debtors' estates with the
additional cost and associated delay of providing these potential
claimants with a second opportunity to assert claims as class
claimants, Mr. Smolinsky points out.

Alternatively, the Debtors ask the Bankruptcy Court to not allow
the Claim to proceed as a class claim.

GENERAL MOTORS: Old GM Objects to A. Foley's $999 Trillion Claim
----------------------------------------------------------------
Motors Liquidation Co., formerly General Motors Corp., and its
affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York to disallow Amiel Darius Foley's Claim No. 65304 for
$999 trillion.

Mr. Foley filed its claim against Motors Liquidation Company.
Because the Claim did not provide an amount or any other
information, the Debtors sent a letter to Mr. Foley asking that he
provide the Debtors with any relevant documentation to ascertain
the validity and nature of the Claim.  Mr. Foley replied through a
letter asserting that the liquidated amount of the claim is
"$999,000,000,000,000 or make him CEO."

Joseph H. Smolinsky, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, contends that the Claim and the Foley Letter indicate that
Mr. Foley has failed to set forth a cognizable legal and factual
basis and has failed to provide supporting evidence and logical
linkage to the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.  Nevertheless, the
Debtors discovered that there is a document provided by Mr. Foley
that was assumed and assigned to General Motors LLC ("New GM")
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Sale and Purchase
Agreement.  That document related to an idea for a more powerful
V-8 engine.  The Debtors thus surmise that the reference in the
Foley Letter to "[c]ompanies are tring [sic] to take: 1. all my
IDEAS" may relate to some form of purported intellectual
property.

Mr. Smolinsky asserts that Mr. Foley has not provided any
information to verify if this document is the basis for his
claim.  Mr. Smolinsky argues that under the Court-approved
procedures for the assumption and assignment of contracts in
connection with the MSPA, the Claimant had 10 days from the date
notice of the assignment was given to the Claimant to object to
the $0 cure amount and failed to do so.  Assuming that a related
executory contract was assigned, no claim can survive against the
Debtors, and likely against New GM, Mr. Smolinsky insists.

The Wall Street Journal's Sharon Terlep and Dow Jones Newswires'
John Kell report that U.S. auto sales rose 11% in December 2010.

According to Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell:

     -- General Motors Co.'s sales rose 8.5% in December and 7.2%
        for the full year;

     -- Ford Motor Co.'s sales increased 6.8% in December and
        almost 20% for the full year;

     -- Chrysler Group LLC's sales increased 16.4% in December and
        16.5% for 2010;

     -- Hyundai Motor Co. said December sales climbed 33% to
        44,802.  For the full year, its sales totaled 538,228, up
        24%; and

     -- Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales fell 5.5% in December and were
        flat for the year.

The report notes Chrysler sold 1.1 million vehicles last year,
hitting the target set a year ago by Chief Executive Sergio
Marchionne.  The report also says it was the first year Hyundai's
U.S. sales exceeded 500,000 vehicles.

In a statement, Ford said its full-year sales totaled 1.935
million, up 19% versus a year ago, marking the largest increase of
any full-line manufacturer.  A copy of Ford's sales report is
available at http://is.gd/k7R0t

According to Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell, the sales results cap a year
that suggests the auto industry is on the verge of one of the most
dramatic shifts in its history.  The report points out that for
most of the past century, the U.S. car industry was dominated by
General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC.  Now,
as a result of both long-term trends and the upheaval of the last
two years, the Big Three are about to be replaced by a Gang of
Seven as the industry's driving force.

Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell also note that Hyundai saw its U.S. market
share in 2010 climb to just short of 5%.  If Hyundai crosses that
threshold as expected this year, the U.S. market will have seven
manufacturers -- GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda Motor Co., Chrysler,
Nissan Motor Co. and Hyundai -- with market share of 5% or more.
That's a dramatic shift from the days when the three Detroit
companies dominated the market and dictated the industry's
direction, the report relates.

GSC GROUP: Black Diamond Alters Bid Terms to Overcome Obstacle
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that GSC Group Inc. said proposed
buyer Black Diamond Commercial Finance LLC has revised the terms
of its $235 million bid in an effort to resolve rival lenders'
objections to a deal they deem unfair.

According to the report, while the value of Black Diamond's offer
to buy GSC's investment-management business out of bankruptcy will
remain the same, court papers show it will now solely be composed
of debt forgiveness.  Dow Jones' relates that the bid previously
consisted of $5 million in cash, a $6 million note and $224
million in debt.

Also, the report notes, GSC said creditors whose claims rank below
the secured lenders' claims will no longer recover anything from
the deal.  They previously were slated to share in the non-core
assets that aren't included in the Black Diamond sale, the report
says.

According to GSC, while the new terms are less favorable to its
estate than the prior deal, they are valuable in that they aim to
resolve the minority lenders' objections to how the bid is
allocated between the warring lender factions, Dow Jones
discloses.

HALF MOON BAY, CA: Warns of Budgets Cuts to Avert Insolvency
------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that the coastal city of Half Moon
Bay, California, will begin an aggressive campaign to warn
residents of severe budget cuts that lie ahead, as the cash-
strapped town tries to avert insolvency.

According to the report, Laura Snideman, appointed in December as
city manager, said she and the five-member city council and top
managers will quickly meet with residents to alert them about
impending changes, such as potentially outsourcing the town's 15-
person police department to an outside agency.  The report relates
that the city has planned as many as a dozen meetings and will
have a town hall gathering at the end of January, Snideman said.
She added that Half Moon Bay hasn't embarked on such an aggressive
public outreach before and plans to walk residents through the
city budget to show where cuts need to come from.

"The choices are no longer hard, they're painful," Dow Jones'
quoted Mr. Snideman, formerly an economic development manager in
the city of San Mateo, as saying.

Half Moon Bay is a coastal city in San Mateo County, California,
USA. Its population was 11,842 as of the 2000 census. Immediately
at the north of Half Moon Bay is the Pillar Point Harbor and the
unincorporated community of Princeton-by-the-Sea.


HARBOUR EAST: Files Amended Reorganization Plan and Outline
-----------------------------------------------------------
Harbour East Development, Ltd., submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Florida a proposed Plan of
Reorganization and an explanatory Disclosure Statement, as amended
for the first time.

The Debtors will begin soliciting votes on the Plan following
approval of the adequacy of the information in the Disclosure
Statement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on August 11, 2010,
according to the Plan, the Debtor will continue to operate certain
of the condominium units known as CIELO on the Bay located at 7935
East Drive, North Bay Village, Florida, as a rental pool for
purposes of generating net rental income to pay the operating
expenses of the Debtor and to fund distributions to holders, until
the time as the Debtor closes on the sale of all of the
condominium units.

The Debtor will also continue to market, sell and offer purchase
money mortgages with respect to ongoing sales of the condominium
units at the property.

Under the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor, after payment of operating
expenses, administrative expenses, allowed priority and allowed
secured claims, will deposit all remaining net rental income, net
purchase money principal and interest income, and net proceeds of
sale condominium units into an unsecured creditor distribution
reserve at least annually.  Upon each general unsecured claim
distribution date, as determined by the Reorganized Debtor, the
Debtor will pay holders of an allowed general unsecured claim,
their ratable proportion of the general unsecured claim cash
distribution.

The Plan will be further implemented by exchange of Mario Egozi's
Class 12 unsecured claim for the new general partnership interest
and new limited partnership interest, without the need for any
further partnership action and without any further action by
holders of the old general partnership equity interests and the
old limited partnership interests.

Mr. Egozi is the initial manager of the general partner, Harbour
East Development, LC, of the Reorganized Debtor.

In addition, pursuant to the Plan:

   (1) Holders of secured claims will receive 100% of the
       principal amount, and accrued interest thereon at the
       secured claim cram down rate, in deferred cash payment.

   (2) Holders of secured claims classified as "purchaser deposit
       claims" under Class 7 will receive (a) cash in the amount
       of the principal balance and accrued interest thereon of
       the escrow funds of the holder on deposit with the escrow
       agent; and (b) deferred cash payments of all principal, and
       accrued interest thereon at the secured claim cram down
       rate.

   (3) Holders of secured claims classified as the "associated
       secured claim" under Class 8 will receive deferred cash
       payments of all principal, and accrued interest thereon at
       the secured claim cram down rate.

   (4) Holders of secured claims classified as "purchaser
       contract litigation attorney secured claim" under Class 9
       will receive payment of 100% of the principal, and accrued
       interest thereon at the secured claim cram down rate, in
       deferred cash payments.

   (5) Holders of general unsecured claims under Class 11 will
       receive payment of up to 100% of the principal amount and
       accrued interest thereon at the unsecured cram-down rate
       from the general unsecured claim distribution reserve.

   (6) Existing old limited partnership equity interests will be
       cancelled and the holders of old limited partnership equity
       interests will not be entitled to, and will not receive or
       retain, any property or interest in the Debtor on account
       of the interests.

INT'L STORYTELLING: Financial Woes Prompt Bankruptcy Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------
International Storytelling Center filed for Chapter 11 protection
on Dec. 31, 2010 (Bankr. E.D. Tenn. Case No. 10-53299).

The Associated Press reports the Debtor blamed the filing on the
financial burden of a new center and decline in visitors.  Founder
and President, Jimmy Neil Smith noted that attendance at the
center's festival has been down 16% since 2007.

International Storytelling aims to reorganize its finances in
Chapter 11.  Mr. Smith said Chapter 11 protection will allow the
center to re-organize their operations, without a change to the
public eye, according to TriCities.com.

"We'll still have the festival, we'll still have the center
facilities and operations, we'll still have the residents-in-
teller program in 2011," said Mr. Smith, according to TriCities.

The storytelling programs generate almost $7 million dollars to
Washington County each year, as well as producing over 100 jobs.


IRVINE SENSORS: Sells Notes and Common Shares for $11.3 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
On December 23, 2010, Irvine Sensors Corporation entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors, Costa
Brava Partnership III L.P. and The Griffin Fund LP, pursuant to
which the Company issued and sold to Costa Brava and Griffin, in
an initial closing on December 23, 2010, 12% Subordinated Secured
Convertible Notes due December 23, 2015 in the aggregate principal
amount of $7,774,800 and an aggregate of 51,788,571 shares of
Common Stock of the Company for $3,625,199, or $0.07 per share,
and agreed to issue and sell in a subsequent closing not later
than April 30, 2010 additional 12% Subordinated Secured
Convertible Notes to Costa Brava and Griffin for an aggregate
purchase price of $1.2 million.

As the Company previously disclosed in its Current Reports on Form
8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November
15, 2010, November 26, 2010, December 8, 2010 and December 16,
2010, the Company previously sold 10% Unsecured Convertible
Promissory Notes due May 31, 2011 to investors in an aggregate
principal amount of $3,000,000, the terms of which permit the
holders of the Bridge Notes to convert up to and including the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Bridge Notes and
any accrued interest thereon.

Costa Brava and Griffin held Bridge Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $578,600 and, on December 23, 2010, elected to
convert the Conversion Amount under their Bridge Notes into the
same securities issued in the Financing, with 31.8% of such
aggregate Conversion Amount being allocated to the purchase of an
aggregate of 2,640,560 shares of Common Stock of the Company for
$184,839, or $0.07 per share, and the remaining $396,416 of the
aggregate Conversion Amount being allocated to the purchase of
Notes.  As soon as practicable after the first closing of the
Financing, the Company will hold two or more subsequent closings
to effect the closing of the Bridge Note Conversion for those
Bridge Note Holders who elect to participate in the Bridge Note
Conversion.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, due and
payable quarterly within 10 business days of the end of each
calendar quarter, calculated on the simple interest basis of a
365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  For the first
two years of the Notes, the Company has the option, subject to the
satisfaction of certain customary equity conditions, to pay all or
a portion of the interest due on each interest payment date in
shares of common stock, with the price per share calculated based
on the weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock over
the last 20 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to
the interest payment date.

The foregoing notwithstanding, until that certain Secured
Promissory Note dated April 14, 2010 by and between the Company to
Timothy Looney is repaid in full, cash interest on the Notes must
instead be paid by adding the amount of such interest to the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes as "PIK" interest.  The
principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes is
convertible at the option of the holder, any time after amendment
of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
Company's authorized Common Stock, into shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.07 per share.

The conversion price is subject to full ratchet adjustment for
certain price dilutive issuances of securities by the Company and
proportional adjustment for events such as stock splits,
dividends, combinations and the like.  Beginning after the first
two years of the Notes, the Company can force the Notes to convert
to Common Stock if certain customary equity conditions have been
satisfied and the volume weighted average price of the Common
Stock is $0.25 or greater for 30 consecutive trading days.

The Notes and the Milestone Notes will be secured by substantially
all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement
dated December 23, 2010 between the Company and Costa Brava as
representative of the Note holders, but the liens securing the
Notes and Milestone Notes are subordinate to the liens securing
the indebtedness of the Company to Summit Financial Resources,
L.P. under that certain Financing Agreement dated as of June 16,
2009, and subordinate in right of payment to the Looney Note.

Subject to the subordination to the Looney Note, the amounts owing
under the Notes may be accelerated, and a 25% premium charged on
such amounts, upon the occurrence of certain events of default,
such as:

   (i) failure to cure within 10 business days a failure to timely
       deliver the required number of shares of Common Stock on
       conversion of the Notes;

  (ii) notice to any holder of the Notes of the Company's
       intention not to comply with a request for conversion of
       any Notes that are tendered for conversion in compliance
       with the provisions of the Notes and applicable securities
       laws;

(iii) failure to pay to any Holder any amounts when and as due
       under the Notes or any other transaction document in
       connection therewith;

  (iv) any event of default under, redemption of or acceleration
       prior to maturity of certain indebtedness of the Company or
       its subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount in excess
       of $500,000;

   (v) the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than Optex
       Systems, Inc., pursuant to or within the meaning of Title
       11, U.S. Code, or any similar Federal, foreign or state law
       for the relief of debtors, commences a voluntary case,

       to pay its debts as they become due;

  (vi) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree
       under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief against the
       Company or any of its subsidiaries in an involuntary case,
       appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
       subsidiaries or orders the liquidation of the Company or
       any of its subsidiaries;

(vii) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money
       aggregating in excess of $500,000 are rendered against the
       Company or any of its subsidiaries and which judgments are
       not, within 60 days after the entry thereof, bonded,
       discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged
       within 60 days after the expiration of such stay; provided,
       however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or
       an indemnity from a creditworthy party will not be included
       in calculating the $500,000 amount so long as the Company
       provides a reasonably satisfactory written statement from
       such insurer or indemnity provider to the effect that such
       judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the
       Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or
       indemnity within 30 days of the issuance of such judgment
       or such later date as provided by the terms of such

(viii) any representation or warranty made by the Company in any

       misleading as of the date made or deemed made;

  (ix) the Company breaches any covenant or other term or
       condition of any Transaction Document and, in the case of a
       breach of a covenant or term or condition which is curable,
       such breach continues for a period of at least 10

LEHMAN BROTHERS: $2.2 Million Arbitration Award Issued Against UBS
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Law Office of Christopher J. Gray, P.C. in New York City
informs investors of a $2.2 million FINRA arbitration award
against UBS Financial Services, Inc. -- the latest in a series of
pro-investor rulings against UBS in cases involving Lehman
Brothers "Principal Protected" Notes.  The award in the case,
Motamed v. UBS Financial Services, Inc., FINRA Case No. 09-02087,
was issued in December by a three-person FINRA arbitration panel
in Philadelphia.  The case represents reportedly the seventh
consecutive win by claimant investors in cases against UBS arising
out of the so-called "Principal Protected" securities.

"Principal Protected" Notes, created by the now-defunct brokerage
firm Lehman Brothers, are essentially financial instruments that
combine derivatives with fixed income and/or equities, resulting
in a product that was supposed to provide the safety of fixed
income with the upside of the stock market.  At least that is how
these products were reportedly pitched to some investors by UBS.
Not included in the sales pitch was that fact that Lehman Brothers
itself was the sole guarantor of the so-called principal
protection.

These structured notes were reportedly marketed to conservative
investors seeking preservation of capital, a reasonable yield and
the potential for a modest gain in principal.  In reality, these
types of investments were being used by Lehman Brothers, and other
brokerage firms, to help finance their near-term operational
shortfalls. In fact, many clients were reportedly never even
informed that these were Lehman Brothers products in the first
place. In some instances, it was not even apparent from customers'
monthly statements that they owned a Lehman Brothers product, as
the products were often listed simply as "LB 100% PPN."  Now that
Lehman Brothers is in bankruptcy, it appears that these supposedly
"Principal Protected" Notes have little or no remaining value.

Attorney Christopher Gray is available for a confidential no-
obligation consultation for investors who believe that they may
have a valid claim arising out of Lehman Brothers Principal
Protected Notes or other structured financial products.  The Law
Office of Christopher J. Gray, P.C. has represented investors in

Industry Regulatory Authority), its predecessors the National
Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and New York Stock

LIONS GATE: Asks District Court to Compel Icahn to Disclose Info
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nat Worden, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reports that
Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. asked a Manhattan district court
last week to force Carl Icahn to disclose information about a
confidential agreement he allegedly has with creditors of Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. about a possible merger of the two movie
studios.

The filing is part of a lawsuit Lions Gate filed against Mr.
Icahn, accusing him of privately plotting to merge Lions Gate with
MGM on his own terms even while he was publicly denigrating such a
deal last spring as part of his campaign to gain control of Lions
Gate.

Mr. Worden reports that Lions Gate also asked that Mr. Icahn
disclose information about a "side deal" he allegedly made with
Internet entrepreneur Mark Cuban to induce him to accept Mr.
Icahn's tender offer and sell his stake in the film studio.  Lions
Gate identified Joe Francis, creator of the "Girls Gone Wild"
video series, as its source of information.

Mr. Worden relates Mr. Cuban, in an email, denied any side deal
existed.  The owner of the Dallas Mavericks said the only
"questionable offer" for his Lions Gate stock came when Lions Gate
co-chairman Michael Burns offered to buy his shares, through a
third party, for five cents more a share than Mr. Icahn's offer.

According to the Journal, Lions Gate has alleged that Mr. Icahn
offered Mr. Cuban "special consideration" for his agreement to
tender a 5.4% stake in Lions Gate to Mr. Icahn as he tried to
acquire the studio last year. Mr. Icahn challenged the allegation
in court.

The Journal says a Lions Gate spokesman declined to comment.
Messrs. Icahn and Francis couldn't be reached for comment.

The Journal relates Mr. Icahn has denied plotting a merger of
Lions Gate and MGM.  Mr. Icahn recently expressed support for a
Lions Gate-MGM merger, if the deal is structured to his liking,
after casting doubt on the wisdom of such a transaction last
spring when his series of tender offers to buy all the shares of
Lions Gate began.  On several occasions, Mr. Icahn said he felt
shareholders should have a greater voice in the company as it
contemplated a deal for MGM that could add debt to its balance
sheet.

The Journal notes Mr. Icahn has countersued Lions Gate, accusing
the company of breaching its fiduciary duties to shareholders
through a debt-to-equity deal with its board member and second-
largest shareholder, Mark Rachesky, which boosted Mr. Rachesky's
holdings in the company while diluting other shareholders,
including Mr. Icahn.

Lions Gate has defended the deal as a measure designed to reduce
its debt burden.  After courts in Canada and New York declined to
bar Mr. Rachesky from voting his shares resulting from the debt-
to-equity deal at the company's annual meeting last month, Mr.
Icahn acknowledged publicly that his slate of nominees to the
company's board would be unable to prevail in a proxy battle.  A
New York court, however, agreed to hear the case and has required
Lions Gate to hold another shareholders meeting this year after
the court's ruling.

Mr. Icahn is Lions Gate's largest shareholder with a 33% stake.

LOS GATOS HOTEL: Asks for Court's Nod to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
Los Gatos Hotel Corporation asks for authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California to use
the cash collateral of GCCFC 2006-GG7 Los Gatos Lodging Limited
Partnership until March 28, 2011.

In 2006, the Debtor refinanced its debt on Hotel Los Gatos through
a loan from Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., which was
evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of $12 million,
payable over a period of five years, and coming due in full in
March 2011.  The Debtor is informed, but hasn't confirmed, that
the Loan was subsequently bundled with other loans and sold as
part of a commercial mortgage-backed security to Greenwich Capital
Commercial Funding Corp.  GCCFC 2006-GG7 Los Gatos Lodging Limited
Partnership claims that it currently holds the Loan, which is
serviced by LNR Partners, LLC.  As of the petition Date, the
principal balance of the Loan had been reduced to $11,606,981.
LNR has claimed that penalties and interest in arrears total
approximately $1.5 million.

Jeffry A. Davis, Esq., at Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and
Popeo, P.C., explains that the Debtor needs the money to fund its
Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties.  The Debtor will
use the collateral pursuant to a weekly budget, a copy of which is
available for free at:

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

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtor proposes to
grant the Lender a replacement lien on the Debtor's postpetition
cash, accounts receivable and revenues, to the same extent,
validity and priority as any lien on cash collateral held by the
Lender as of the petition Date, to the extent of any diminishment
in the value of the Lender's collateral as a result of cash
collateral used by the Debtor, including cash collateral used
prior to the preliminary hearing on the Debtor's request to use
cash collateral.  According to the Debtor, the Lender's interest
is also adequately protected by an equity cushion and by the
revenue generated from the Debtor's postpetition operation.

Lender Objects to Use of Cash Collateral

The Lender objects to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral.
The Lender says that it has readily agreed to Debtor's oral
request for immediate use of cash collateral to meet payroll,
rounded up to $74,000, and that it is also prepared to stipulate
to additional use of cash collateral to preserve value and
maintain the status quo.  The Lender, however, opposes: (1) the
proposed use of cash collateral without customary protections --
such as evidence of past performance, explanations for future
variances, adequate protection payments, and replacement liens on
all revenue (not just a portion of revenue, as Debtor
proposes) -- and (2) the proposed use of cash collateral for
radical and irrevocable changes in Debtor's business, including
conversion of this Property from a standalone hotel operated and
managed by Joie de Vivre to a franchise operating under the
Preferred Hotels flag and managed by an entity newly created by
Debtor, known as Folio Hospitality Management.

The Lender says that "Debtor agreed to maintain the status quo
with JDV for fourteen days, but Debtor's proposed Budget is
entirely predicated on the New Business Model.  At that same
hearing Debtor's counsel agreed that the interim use of cash
collateral will be predicated on replacement liens on all revenue,
but for any subsequent periods Debtor still seeks to limit
replacement liens to only a portion of its revenues.  Debtor's
counsel also appeared to concede that adequate protection payments
will need to be made, but in an unspecified dollar amount, at some
unspecified future date, and out of projected revenues that are
much less likely to materialize under Debtor's risky and
unexplained New Business Model."

According to the Lender, there is no evidence of any equity
cushion.

The Lender wants the Court to require the Debtor to submit a
budget based on historic performance of the hotel, and condition
any use of cash collateral on the Debtor maintaining the status
quo and agreeing not to take any steps to implement its New
Business Model.  The Lender also wants ordinary protections for
the use of cash collateral, including monthly adequate protection
payments equal to regular loan payments, replacement liens on all
revenues and other property of the Debtor, periodic payment of the
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other fees, costs and
charges as allowed by the Court, and other adequate protection and
relief as the Court deems just and proper.

The Lender is represented by Duane Morris LLP.

Vivre companies to turnover the cash pursuant to Section 542 of
the Bankruptcy Code and, further, to find that the Joie de Vivre
entities have "willfully and wrongfully" taken actions in

incurred in connection with" the adversary proceeding and
preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting Joie de Vivre
from taking any actions related to the hotel, the report notes.

LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Judge Dismisses Claims for Toxic Cleanups
------------------------------------------------------------
Tiffany Kary at Bloomberg News reports that Lyondell Chemical Co.
won a dismissal of some bankruptcy claims from companies seeking
$1.1 billion for environmental costs.

According to the report, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber in
Manhattan said his ruling would affect claims for future costs
only, including those from Weyerhaeuser Co. and Georgia-Pacific
LLC.  Lyondell previously settled its environmental liabilities
with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  Claims from
companies that are still negotiating their own liability with the
EPA can be dismissed by Lyondell because they are "contingent,"
Gerber said in the January 4 decision.

"The claims at issue here are for future cleanup costs that might
or might not actually be incurred, and then might or might not
actually be paid, by any of them," Judge Gerber wrote.

According to the report, Judge Gerber said the ruling will
encourage faster cleanups of polluted sites.

Claims from companies for reimbursement of funds already spent
cleaning up environmental pollutants aren't contingent, and
therefore aren't dismissed, Judge Gerber said.  Weyerhaeuser
already spent $11 million, he said.

"I note, to the extent it matters, that this ruling advances not
just bankruptcy policy, but environmental policy as well," Judge
Gerber added.  He said the decision furthers the government's
policy goal of "encouraging expeditious cleanup, because claimants
are encouraged to remediate promptly by the threat of disallowance
of claims that have not been fixed."

Bloomberg recounts that on April 23, 2010, Houston-based Lyondell,
then still in bankruptcy, won Judge Gerber's permission to settle
more than $5.5 billion in environmental-damage claims with U.S.
regulators.  It put $108.4 million into a trust to pay for
cleanup costs at various properties.  The agreement called for
another $61.6 million to go to U.S. and California government
agencies.  The EPA also was given a $1.18 billion unsecured claim
in Lyondell's bankruptcy.

                     About Lyondell Chemical

LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,
petrochemicals and fuels companies.  Luxembourg-based Basell AF

chemical company.  LyondellBasell became saddled with debt as part
of the USUS$12.7 billion merger. Len Blavatnik's Access Industries
owned the Company prior to its bankruptcy filing.

On January 6, 2009, LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations,
led by Lyondell Chemical Co., and one of its European holding
companies -- Basell Germany Holdings GmbH -- filed voluntary
petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code to facilitate a restructuring of the company's debts.  The
case is In re Lyondell Chemical Company, et al., Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Lead Case No. 09-10023).  Seventy-nine Lyondell entities filed for
Chapter 11. Luxembourg-based LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A.
and another affiliate were voluntarily added to Lyondell
Chemical's reorganization filing under Chapter 11 on April 24,
2009.

Deryck A. Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in
New York, served as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore
Partners served as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its
subsidiary AP Services LLC, served as restructuring advisors.
AlixPartners' Kevin M. McShea acted as the Debtors' Chief
Restructuring Officer.  Clifford Chance LLP served as

LyondellBasell emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
May 2010, with a plan that provides the Company with US$3 billion
of opening liquidity.  A new parent company, LyondellBasell
Industries N.V., incorporated in the Netherlands, is the successor
of the former parent company, LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A.,
a Luxembourg company that is no longer part of LyondellBasell.
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. owns and operates substantially the
same businesses as the previous parent company, including
subsidiaries that were not involved in the bankruptcy cases.

Austin-Bergstrom Airport and on Mesa Drive will stay open.

According to the report, Mr. Sayers said there may be a deal in
the works to turn over the operation of the Round Rock store to a
licensee.  Mr. Sayers said business at the Guadalupe store was
down 20% over the last two years.

MAUI LAND: Extends Wells Fargo & AgCredit Credit Facilities
-----------------------------------------------------------
On December 22, 2010, Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. entered
into two agreements which extended the maturity dates and modified
certain terms of its existing credit facilities with its principal
lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and American
AgCredit, FLCA.

The Second Modification Agreement and Waiver between the Company
and Wells Fargo amended the terms of a $30 million revolving line
of credit agreement dated October 9, 2009 (as subsequently
amended) between the Company and Wells Fargo. Significant terms of
the Wells Fargo Second Modification are as follows:

  -- Extends the maturity date from March 1, 2011 to May 1, 2012.
     Subject to the completion of appraisals showing appraised
     values of the real property pledged as collateral for the
     credit facility acceptable to Wells Fargo, the Company and
     Wells Fargo intend to enter into a Third Modification
     Agreement which will extend the maturity date to May 1, 2013.

  -- Reduces the amount available under the $30 million commitment
     to $25.0 million in revolving loans and $1.1 million in
     letters of credit.  Subject to receipt of the aforementioned
     appraisals, the Company and Wells Fargo intend to enter into
     a Third Modification Agreement that increases the commitment
     and availability under the credit facility to up to $35
     million.

  -- Reduces the interest rate from LIBOR plus 4.25% to LIBOR plus
     3.80% and eliminates the 5.50% interest rate floor.

  -- Amends the financial covenants by reducing the minimum
     liquidity requirement from $8 million to $4 million, which is
     not applicable until the calendar quarter ending June 30,
     2011, and by reducing the maximum amount of total liabilities
     that may be owed by the Company from $240 million to $175
     million.

  -- Waives the requirement that 50% of the net proceeds from the
     sale of the Company's former cannery property be used to
     prepay and reduce the commitment under the credit facility,
     to the extent that the sales proceeds are applied toward
     settling and paying legacy costs related to the Company's
     discontinued business operations.

  -- Adds certain real property referred to by the Company as the
     Central Resort, Honolua Store and Merriman's Restaurant
     parcels to the collateral securing the credit agreement.

The Loan Agreement between the Company and AgCredit amended and
restated in its entirety the terms of a fully-drawn $25 million
revolving line of credit agreement dated September 1, 2005 between
the Company and AgCredit.  Significant terms of the AgCredit Loan
Agreement are as follows:

  -- Extends the maturity date from March 1, 2011 to May 1, 2012.
     Subject to the completion of the aforementioned Wells Fargo
     appraisals and extension of the maturity date of the Wells
     Fargo credit agreement to May 1, 2013, the maturity date
     under the AgCredit Loan Agreement will be automatically
     extended to May 1, 2013.

  -- Changes the facility from a revolving line of credit to a
     term loan.

  -- Eliminates the 5.50% interest rate floor and specifies an
     interest rate based on the greater of 1.00% or the 30-day
     LIBOR rate, plus an applicable spread of 4.25%.  Provides for
     subsequent tiered reductions in the applicable spread to
     3.75%, subject to corresponding reductions in the principal
     balance of the loan.

  -- Amends the financial covenants by reducing the minimum
     liquidity requirement from $8 million to $4 million and
     reduces the maximum amount of total liabilities that may be
     owed by the Company from $240 million to $175 million.

  -- Requires mandatory principal prepayments of 100% of the net
     proceeds of the sale of any real property pledged as
     collateral for the loan.  Also requires tiered mandatory
     principal prepayments based on predetermined percentages
     ranging from 10% to 75% of the net proceeds from the sale of
     non-collateralized real property.

MESA AIR: Resolves US Bank/Finame Admin. Claims
-----------------------------------------------
Mesa Air Group Inc. and Agencia Especial de Financiamento
Industrial-Finame have reached an agreement regarding the
leveraged leases of 36 Embraer 145-LR aircraft.

The subject of the contested matter include:

    * Claim Nos. 1430 and 1431 -- which amended Claim Nos. 1420
      and 1421 and which themselves had modified Claim Nos. 959
      and 958 -- filed by U.S. Bank National Association, as
      security trustee, at the direction of Finame, but only as
      to the portions requesting payment of administrative
      expense claims;

    * Claim Nos. 1454 and 1455 filed by U.S. Bank at the
      direction of Finame, but only as to the portions
      requesting payment of administrative expense claims; and

    * The Debtors' objection to the (i) Alleged Administrative
      Portions of Claim Nos. 1430 and 1431 of U.S. Bank, and
      claims that were amended and superseded by Claim Nos. 1430
      and 1431, and (ii) Alleged Administrative Portions of
      Claim Nos. 1454 and 1455 of U.S. Bank.

In the Court-approved stipulation, the parties agree that the
aggregate liquidated amounts asserted by U.S. Bank on behalf of
Finame are:

  (a) With respect to Mesa Air Group, Inc., $36,538,972 in
      administrative expense claims and $543,042,408 in general
      unsecured claims; and

  (b) With respect to Mesa Airlines, Inc., $36,538,972 in
      administrative expense claims and $543,042,408 in general
      unsecured claims.

U.S. Bank, on behalf of Finame, reserves the right to further
amend or supplement the Claims at any time and for any reason.

Notwithstanding the $36,538,972 in administrative expense claims
asserted by U.S. Bank on behalf of Finame against certain of the
Debtors in the Claims and any final disposition of the Contested
Matter, any administrative expense claims allowed in favor of
U.S. Bank on behalf of Finame against the Debtors' estates will
not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

However, the $5,000,000 Cap will not apply if (1) either Mesa or
any other party-in-interest seeks confirmation of a plan of
reorganization or liquidation that does not provide for the
payment of the Allowed Finame Administrative Claims in full in
immediately available funds on the latest of (i) the effective
date under the plan or as soon as practicable; (ii) the earlier
of (x) the date fixed by the Court and (y) the 14th day after
the allowance of the Allowed Finame Administrative Claims; and
(iii) the date that Finame and the Debtors may agree; or (2) the
cases of Mesa Air Group, Inc., or Mesa Airlines, Inc., are
converted to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding anything contrary in their November 23, 2010
Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, the Debtors agree
that any Allowed Finame Administrative Expense Claims, in an
amount not to exceed the Cap, will be paid in full on the latest
of (i) the effective date under the Plan or as soon as
practicable, (ii) the earlier of a date fixed by the Court and
the 14th day after the allowance of the Allowed Finame
Administrative Claims, and (iii) the date as Finame and the
Debtors may agree.

METROPOLITAN 885: Argentina's IRSA Hikes Stake in Lipstick Bldg.
----------------------------------------------------------------
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones SA, an Argentine real estate
investment company, increased its stake in New York's Lipstick
Building to 49% in a debt restructuring of the property, David M.
Levitt at Bloomberg News reported, citing a regulatory filing.

According to the Bloomberg report, the deal is part of the
prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition filed in November by
Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold, LLC, owners of the
34-story Midtown office building where Bernard Madoff ran the
biggest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history.  The plan, approved by a
judge last month, reduced the $210 million mortgage to
$115 million.

"It was a total reallocation of the debt and the capital
structure" of the building at 885 Third Ave., said Marc Richards,
Esq., a New York-based attorney with Blank Rome LLP, which
represented Metropolitan 885.

According to Bloomberg, IRSA now holds a 49% indirect interest in
a new company that controls the Lipstick Building.  The Buenos
Aires-based developer bought a 35% stake in the building in 2008
from Tao Tsuot Ltd., an Israeli investment company.

An IRSA spokesman in Buenos Aires confirmed the deal, the
Bloomberg report said.

                      About Metropolitan 885

New York-based Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold, LLC, was
organized in 2007 as a Delaware limited liability company and is

MOHEGAN TRIBAL: Net Income Down to $7.45MM in FY 2010
-----------------------------------------------------
Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority filed, on December 29, 2010, its
annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.  The
Authority reported net income of $7.45 million on $1.42 billion of
net revenue for the fiscal year 2010 as compared to net income of
$117.35 million on $1.45 billion of net revenue during the same
period a year ago.

The Authority's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed $2.20
billion in total assets, $2.07 billion in total liabilities and
$132,044,000 in total capital.

The Authority noted that its Bank Credit Facility matures on March
9, 2012 and its 2002 Senior Subordinated Notes mature on April 1,
2012.  In addition, a substantial portion of the Authority's
remaining indebtedness matures over the following three fiscal
years.  The Authority believes that it will need to refinance all
or part of its indebtedness at or prior to each maturity thereof
in order to maintain sufficient resources for its operations.  The
Authority has engaged Blackstone Advisory Partners, L.P. to assist
in its strategic planning relating to its debt maturities.

The Authority's minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is currently
below 2.0 to 1.0.  While this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio
remains below 2.0 to 1.0, the Authority will be unable to
refinance its existing subordinated indebtedness with senior
indebtedness without applicable waivers or consents from its
noteholders, thus limiting the options available to the Authority
to refinance its existing indebtedness.

                        About Mohegan Tribal

Headquartered in Uncasville, Conn., Mohegan Tribal Gaming
Authority conducts and regulates gaming activities on Tribal
lands, which are federally recognized Indian tribe reservations in
southeastern Connecticut.

At the end of November 2010, Moody's Investors Service downgraded
Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority's Corporate Family and Probability
of Default ratings to Caa2 from B3.  All of MTGA's rated long-term
debt was also lowered.  The rating outlook is negative.

The ratings downgrade reflects Moody's view that MTGA could
find it difficult to refinance significant upcoming debt
maturities without some impairment to bondholders given its high
leverage -- debt/EBITDA is over 7 times -- limited near-term
growth prospects for Mohegan Sun Casino, the likely continuation
of weak consumer gaming demand trends in the Northeastern U.S.,
and the strong possibility of gaming in Massachusetts.  The
company's $675 million revolver ($527 million outstanding at
September 30, 2010) expires in March 2012 and its $250 million 8%
senior subordinated notes mature in April 2012.  Combined, these
debt items account for about 50% of MTGA's total debt outstanding.

MTGA has announced that it hired Blackstone Group to help deal
with its capital structure issues, although no details have been
made available regarding MTGA's options.  Given the company's
recently announced weak fiscal fourth quarter results along with
the significant near- and long-term challenges previously
mentioned, Moody's believes a restructuring that involves some
impairment to bondholders will be considered.

The negative ratings outlook reflects the relatively short time
frame in which MTGA has to address what Moody's believes to be a
significant capital structure issue.  If MTGA is not able to
refinance by March 2011 its $675 million revolver will be become
current.  The same holds true for the company's $250 million 8%
senior subordinated notes to the extent these notes are not
refinanced by April 1, 2011.


MONEY TREE: Files Post-Effective Amendment to $35MM Offering
------------------------------------------------------------
The Money Tree Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on December 30, 2010, an post-effective amendment to
its Form S-1 regarding its offering of up to $35,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of its Subordinated Demand Notes.  A
minimum initial investment of $100 is required.

The Company will issue the Demand Notes in denominations of at
least $1, subject to the initial minimum investment requirement of
$100.  The Demand Notes shall have no stated maturity and shall be
payable or redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the
holders' option, subject to the subordination provisions.  The
Demand Notes shall bear interest at a variable rate, which will
vary depending upon the daily average balance held.

When the Company sets interest rates for each range of balances,
such rates become effective for and applied to all Demand Notes
with a daily average balance within that range, whether existing
or newly issued.  These interest rates may be the same or
different for each range of balances and we may increase or
decrease the rate for any range independently of the other ranges
without advance notice to you after the date of purchase.  The
Company will only pay interest on a Demand Note when a demand for
payment of principal of the Demand Note is made.

The Company is offering the Demand Notes through its designated
selling officer, Jennifer Ard, without an underwriter and on a
continuous basis.  The Company does not have to sell any minimum
amount of Demand Notes to accept and use the proceeds of this
offering.  The Company cannot assure that all or any portion of
the Demand Notes it is offering will be sold.  The Company has not
made any arrangement to place any of the proceeds from this
offering in an escrow, trust or similar account.  The Company has
the right to reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any
reason.

The Company may at its option redeem at any time the Demand Notes
(1) upon at least 30 days' written notice, or (2) if the principal
balance falls below $100, for a redemption price equal to the
principal amount plus any unpaid interest thereon to the date of
redemption.  Demand Notes shall be payable or redeemable, in whole
or in part, subject to subordination.  All payments or redemptions
must be made either in person or by mail at our executive offices
in Bainbridge, Georgia.

The Demand Notes are not certificates of deposit or similar
obligations guaranteed by any depository institution, and they are
not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or
any governmental or private insurance fund, or any other entity.
The Company does not contribute funds to a separate account such
as a sinking fund to use to repay the Demand Notes.

MONEY TREE: Files Post-Effective Amendment to $75MM Offering
------------------------------------------------------------
The Money Tree Inc. filed a post-effective fourth amended Form S-1
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 2010,
in connection with its offering up to $75,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of our Series B Variable Rate Subordinated
Debentures on a continuous basis.  A minimum initial investment of
$500 is required.

The Company will issue the Debentures in varying purchase amounts
that it will establish each month.  Although all Debentures will
have a maturity date of four years from the date of issuance, for
each purchase amount, the Company will establish an interest rate
and an interest adjustment period that may range from one year to
four years.  The established features will be available for each
calendar month and will apply to all Debentures that we sell
during that month.  At the end of each interest adjustment period,
the interest rate will automatically adjust to the then-current
rate for that interest adjustment period.  The interest rate for
the new period could be lower than the interest rate for the
previous period.

The Company will publish the established features in a newspaper
of general circulation, and holders may obtain the established
features from our web site at www.themoneytreeinc.com or by
calling the Company's executive offices in Bainbridge, Georgia at

established features with the Securities and Exchange Commission
upon any change in the established features.

The Company is offering the Debentures through its designated
selling officer, Dellhia "Cissie" Franklin, without an underwriter
and on a continuous basis.  The Company does not have to sell any
minimum amount of Debentures to accept and use the proceeds of
this offering.  The Company cannot assure that all or any portion
of the Debentures it is offering will be sold.  The Company has
not made any arrangement to place any of the proceeds from this
offering in an escrow, trust or similar account.  The Debentures
are not listed on any securities exchange, and there is no public
trading market for the Debentures.  Because it is very unlikely
that any trading market will develop, the Company cannot assure
that holders will be able to resell the Debentures at any price.
The Company has the right to reject any subscription, in whole or
in part, for any reason.

The Company may redeem the Debentures, upon at least 30 days'
written notice, at any time prior to maturity for a redemption
price equal to the principal amount plus any unpaid interest
thereon to the date of redemption.

MYSPACE INC: Said to Cut Up to Half of Staff
--------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Jessica E. Vascellaro and Russell Adams
report that News Corp.'s Myspace is preparing to disclose a
dramatic downsizing of its business, according to people familiar
with the matter.

According to the Journal, one person familiar with the matter said
Myspace could lay off between a third and a half of its roughly
1,100 employees.  Another person said the moves could be announced
as soon as this month.

The Journal relates the restructuring is the latest step in
Myspace's intensifying turnaround effort.  The social network
reduced its staff by nearly 30% last summer, laying-off hundreds
of employees.  But the cuts weren't sufficient to contain costs, a
person familiar with the matter said, who added the new cuts would
be across the board.  The Journal relates another person familiar
with the matter said that, depending on the results of the
restructuring, News Corp. may look for buyers for Myspace but
there are no current talks over a sale.

The Journal says a spokeswoman for Myspace declined to comment.

The Journal relates that Myspace redesigned its site in October to
emphasize its media assets and later struck a new ad deal with
Google Inc.  The Journal says according to people familiar with
the situation, that deal, under which Google will sell search and
graphical ads on the site, generates far less revenue for the site
than an earlier deal, under which it received upfront payments.
As part of that overhaul, Myspace is refashioning the site as a
hub for music, games and entertainment.

The Journal further notes that on a conference call with analysts
in November, News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey said
the Myspace losses "are not acceptable or sustainable. Our current
management did not create these losses, but they know we have to
address them."

Myspace is a social networking Web site headquartered in Beverly
Hills, California.


NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS: 99.9% of 2013 Notes Support Exchange Bid
----------------------------------------------------------------
Network Communications, Inc., along with its subsidiaries and
affiliates, said Tuesday that as of the expiration date of its
previously announced exchange offer and consent solicitation,
which was 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 3, 2011, the
Company has received tenders and written consents with respect to
$174.8 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes,
representing 99.9% of the outstanding 10-3/4% Senior Notes due
2013 (CUSIP No. 64125B AC5).  Assuming all conditions are
satisfied or waived by the Company, the Company currently intends
to consummate the Offer promptly following the expiration date of
the Offer.

The Company also said that as contemplated by the supplemented
Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement relating to the
Offer, the Company and the trustee under the indenture governing
the Senior Notes executed on January 4, 2011, a supplemental
indenture implementing the proposed amendments to the indenture
governing the Senior Notes.  As a result of the execution of the
supplemental indenture, tendered Senior Notes and delivered
consents may not be withdrawn or revoked.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 19, 2010,
Network warned that if the Exchange Offer is unsuccessful, as a
result of a failure to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition or
otherwise, the Company will seek to implement the Restructuring by
commencing cases under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and
seeking confirmation of a prepackaged plan of reorganization.  In
connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company simultaneously
solicited acceptances of the Prepackaged Plan as an alternative to
the Exchange Offer.

An aggregate principal amount of $175 million of Senior Notes are
subject for exchange.  Noteholders are being asked to exchange
their existing Senior Notes in return for their pro rata share of
New Common Stock of NCI and their pro rata share of new senior
subordinated pay-in-kind notes in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $45 million.

The closing of the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon,
among other things, (a) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
Senior Notes being validly tendered and not withdrawn and (b) 100%
of the lenders under the Company's senior bank credit facilities
executing an amended and restated credit agreement.

Network Communications has elected not to make the June 1, 2010
interest payment of roughly $9.4 million on its 10-3/4% Senior
Notes.  As reported by the TCR on September 7, 2010, Network
Communications cited the continued challenges in the markets that
it serves, the lack of a rebound in revenue and the inability to
secure a new revolving loan facility to replace the current
commitment that was slated to expired in November 2010.

The Company's senior secured lenders have accelerated all amounts
outstanding under the Company's revolving and term loan credit
agreements, which in turn triggered an event of default under the
Senior Notes indenture and the senior subordinated credit
agreement.

According to the September TCR report, the Company's total debt
outstanding, excluding unamortized discounts, is roughly $296.0
million.  The TCR said the Company and its parent, Gallarus Media
Holdings, Inc., obtained an agreement from its secured lenders
dated June 1, 2010, permitting it to have continued access to and
use of its cash as it works with its stakeholders to restructure
its balance sheet.  The Agreement, as amended, was to expire
August 31, 2010.

As reported by the TCR on December 28, 2010, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services withdrew its 'D' ratings on Network
Communications.  S&P also withdrew its recovery ratings on the
company's debt issues.  The ratings were withdrawn because the
company has not provided S&P with timely financial statements.

Memorandum or related documents may be directed to the information
agent, Kurtzman Carson Consultants, LLC at (917) 281-4800.

PALMAS DEL MAR: Sanchez et al. Claims Allowed as Gen. Unsecured
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Enrique S. Lamoutte grants the objection filed by
Palmas del Mar Country Club, Inc., to the priority status of
Proofs of Claim filed by Mr. Jose Sanchez, Mr. Luis Marin, Mr.
Miguel Nazario Franco, Mr. Blair C. Fensterstock and Ms. Janitzia
Schurch.  The claims are allowed as general unsecured claims for
the amounts filed.

The Claimants allege that the membership deposits they paid the
Debtor have priority status pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 507(a)(7).
The Debtor alleges that they are general unsecured claims.  In
addition, the Debtor claims that the Claimants have failed to
overcome the strong presumption against treating general unsecured
claims as priority claims and that the members got what they paid
for the moment it was paid, that is, membership in the club,
therefore they do not qualify as the types of parties, nor have
the types of claims that Congress intended to protect with Section
507(a)(7).  The Claimants filed oppositions to the objection.

ROCKLIN FAMILY: Filed for Chapter 11 to Stop Auction
----------------------------------------------------
Jon Brines at Placer Herald reports that Strikes Family
Entertainment LLC must convince the bankruptcy judge at a hearing
on Jan. 14 that it has a realistic plan to pay creditors,
including T.L. Meadows, LLC and EDF Resource Capital, Inc. of
Sacramento.
Strikes Family features 50 bowling lanes, an arcade, birthday
rooms and a conference room located on Lonetree Boulevard off of
Sunset Boulevard in Rocklin, California.

According to Sacramento Bee, Strikes' owners filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection, blocking the auction and giving them what
they hope is breathing room to get the 4-year-old alley, arcade
and eatery back in the black.

Prepetition, the secured creditors ordered an auction for Strikes
Family's assets.  West Auction advertised in its Web site the sale
of 50 lane bowling center, restaurant & bar, arcade, laser tag,
and rock wall in bulk as one lot.  However, West Auction later
said that the auction has been temporarily stayed by the filing of
the Chapter 11 petition.

Rocklin Family Entertainment, LLC, doing business as Strikes
Family Entertainment Center, filed for Chapter 11 protection on
Dec. 3, 2010 (Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 10-51840).  W. Steven
Shumway, Esq., in Roseville, Calif., represents the Debtor.  The
Debtor estimated up to $50,000 in assets and $1,000,000 to

$11.19 million in total assets, $8.06 million in total liabilities
and $3.13 million in total equity.

Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., in Salt Lake City, noted that the
Company has incurred losses, negative cash flows from operating
activities and has an accumulated deficit.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern, according to the auditors.

SEQUOIA PARTNERS: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Oregon
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sequoia Partners, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Dec. 29,
2010 (Bankr. D. Ore. Case No. 10-67547), estimating assets of $50
million to $100 million, and debts of $10 million to $50 million.

Sequoia Partners, LLC owns and is developing the Paradise Ranch
Resort located in Grants Pass, Oregon. The project is scheduled to
include 100 rental rooms, 200 single-family homes, and an 18-hole
championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus.  Paradise
Ranch is also expected to include convention space and retail
shops.

Portland Business Journal notes that the Company owes $300,000 to
Nicklaus Design, a golf course design firm owned by the legendary
Jack Nicklaus.  Nicklaus Design is listed as a consultant in the
bankruptcy petition, according to the report.

Tara J Schleicher, Esq., at Farleigh Wada Witt, in Portland,
Oregon, represents the Debtor.

Sequoia Partners filed together with a petition a lawsuit against
its mortgage agent for its failure to provide funding necessary to
complete development projects at its Paradise Ranch Resort and
Planned Community and to pay it creditors.


SEQUOIA PARTNERS: Sues Rogue River & Paradise Ranch for Breach
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sequoia Partners LLC, together with its bankruptcy petition, filed
an adversary complaint against Rogue River Mortgage, LLC, and
Paradise Ranch Land Development, LLC.

netDockets reports that in the complaint Sequoia Partners said
that it purchased the location for the Paradise Ranch Resort in
November 2003 and retained Carling of America, Ltd. to act as
construction manager and general contractor for the development.

Sequoia received financing for the development projects from Rogue
River Mortgage in January 2004 and November 2006.  The Company
later received $4.6 million in additional financing from Home
Valley Bank in February 2008.  That debt has since been assigned
to South Valley Bank and Trust, the report says.

Between February and August of 2008, Rogue River also provided
additional financing, although amounts are not disclosed in the
adversary complaint.

Subsequently, the report relates, Rogue River, Sequoia and Carling
of America entered into an Operating Agreement for Construction
Loan and Security on September 2, 2008.  The report says that
Pursuant to that agreement, Rogue River committed to provide
Sequoia with up to $25 million in secured financing to complete
certain projects, including "resort structures, overnight villas,
sewer treatment facilities, golf course, roads and utilities
infrastructure, including remedial work in a public right-of-way
of Josephine County."  Sequoia was required to provide Josephine
County (where the project is located) with financial assurances to
guaranty completion of the development before it could begin
selling the single family homes, netDockets discloses.  As
security for the obligations, Sequoia provided Rogue River with a
blanket deed of trust, the report notes.

In the bankruptcy court complaint, Sequoia claims that "[d]espite
its obligation to do so, RRM failed and refused to loan Sequoia
funds necessary to complete the Specific Projects, failed to
deposit funds into trust accounts established under the Operating
Agreement to pay for enumerated construction items, and further
failed to provide funds sufficient to pay Carling for work
performed on the Project," according to netDockets.  The report
relates that these alleged failures caused Sequoia "extreme
economic distress" and placed the development of the Paradise
Ranch Resort "in peril."  Finally, Sequoia alleges that Rogue
River also "threatened Sequoia with foreclosure and used its
secured position to demand and ultimately obtain additional
security from Sequoia . . . in bad faith," the report notes.

Therefore, netDockets notes, Sequoia is asking the bankruptcy
court to provide a declaratory judgment against Rogue River
Mortgage and Paradise Ranch Land Development that, among other
things, a later Standstill Agreement between the parties "is void
and all transfers pursuant to its invalid" and determining that
all of Sequoia's remaining obligations under the Operating
Agreement and Standstill Agreement are "excused and discharged" as
a result of Rogue River's breaches of such agreements.

The report states that the complaint also seeks a court judgment
that:

   * Rogue River Mortgage "breached the Operating Agreement and
     Standstill Agreement by failing to loan funds and failing to
     deposit funds in the trust accounts to pay for construction
     and development of the Project."

   * Rogue River breached implied covenants of good faith and fair
     dealing with respect to the Operating Agreement and
     Standstill Agreement.

   * Sequoia "executed the Standstill Agreement as a result of the
     wrongful threats and interference, at a time when it was in
     extreme financial distress and had no reasonable
     alternatives."

   * Sequoia is entitled to damages from Rogue River Mortgage and
     Paradise Ranch Land Development for "(1) out-of-pocket
     losses; (2) the loss of benefit of the bargains measured by
     the difference between the value of the Project as developed
     and its present value; and (3) its consequential damage"
     based on the theory of promissory estoppel.

   * Sequoia's delivery of the blanket deed of trust in September
     2008 to Rogue River is avoidable as a fraudulent transfer
     under sections 544(a) and/or 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

   * That the individual plaintiff tortiously interfered.

Sequoia Partners is represented in the bankruptcy case by the law
firm of Farleigh Wada Witt.

Sequoia Partners, LLC owns and is developing the Paradise Ranch

SEXY HAIR: Asks for Court Okay to Assume Investment Agreement
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sexy Hair Concepts, LLC, asks for authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California to assume
an agreement that provides for an investment by a plan sponsor in
connection with the Debtor's concurrently filed plan of
reorganization.

To effectuate the Plan and reorganization, the Debtor and a plan
sponsor have executed an investment agreement.  The Investment
Agreement commits the Plan Sponsor to pursue a transaction.  The
Investment Agreement is made and entered into as of December 21,
2010, by and between Sexy Hair, Inc., a Delaware corporation and
the Debtor.  A copy of the agreement is available for free at:

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

The Investment Agreement contains provisions related to the
approval process, including a termination fee to be paid to the
Plan Sponsor in exchange for the Plan Sponsor's $78 million
financial commitment ($43 million of cash plus assumption of at
least $35 million of debt) to restructure the Debtor.  By assuming
the Investment Agreement, the Debtor is effectuating these
procedural provisions.

As consideration for the Reorganized Debtor's equity interests,
the Plan Sponsor is committing to provide $43 million cash, less
any indemnity escrow holdback amounts and plus or minus an
additional amount based upon the final working capital delivered
to the Plan Sponsor, and will restructure $35 million of the
Debtors' debt owed to the Senior Secured Lenders.  The financial
commitment allows the Debtor to pursue a restructuring of the
Debtor that will provide (i) the Senior Secured Lenders with cash
and new loans with a principal amount equal to the full allowed
amount of the lender claims, (ii) full payment to ordinary course
trade creditors, and (iii) a material cash dividend to other
unsecured creditors.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Transaction is
conditioned upon entry of the Investment Agreement assumption
court order, including approval of the termination fee, within 23
days following the Petition Date, and upon the entry of an order
approving the Disclosure Statement within 38 days following the
Petition Date.

If after entry of the Disclosure Statement court approval order,
it is reversed, vacated, amended, modified or stayed, the Plan
Sponsor may terminate the Investment Agreement.

The Investment Agreement includes a termination fee, equal to
$2.34 million, payable by the Debtor to the Plan Sponsor in the
event the Plan Sponsor is not in material breach of the Investment
Agreement and (A) the Debtor withdraws its motion to approve the
disclosure statement and voting procedures or files any motion
with the Bankruptcy Court that seeks (i) termination of the
Investment Agreement, (ii) withdrawal of the Disclosure Statement
and Voting Procedures Motion, or (iii) approval of, or
authorization to enter into, an alternative to the Transaction,
(B) in the event the Plan Sponsor terminates the plan support
agreement, entered into between the Plan Sponsor and the Senior
Secured Lenders, based, in whole or in part, on any breach thereof
by the Agent or any lender that is a party thereto, or (C) in the
event the Investment Agreement is terminated because the
Court denies entry of the Disclosure Statement court approval
order.

The Investment Agreement includes an exclusivity provision
requiring that the Debtor and its affiliates to not (i) solicit,
initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer
from any person or entity relating to, or enter into or consummate
any transaction relating to, the acquisition of any equity
interests in the Debtor, or any merger, recapitalization, share
exchange, sale of substantial assets (other than sales of
inventory in the ordinary course of business) or any similar
transaction or alternative to the Transaction, or (ii) participate
in any discussions or negotiations regarding, knowingly furnish
any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or
facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any person
to do or seek any of the foregoing, except to send out notices as
required under the Investment Agreement.

SEXY HAIR: Gets Nod to Assume Client Service Pact With Administaff
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sexy Hair Concepts, LLC, sought and obtained authorization from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
to assume that certain Client Service Agreement between the Debtor
and Administaff Companies II, L.P.

A copy of the Administaff Agreement is available for free at:

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

On August 8, 2007, the Debtor and Administaff entered into that
certain Client Service Agreement, which, in general, provides that
personnel services, including the payment of wages and benefits to
the employees, will be provided by Administaff.

The Debtor requests that the Court consider the motion on an
emergency basis so that any relief granted may take effect as soon
as possible, thereby allowing the Debtor to continue to receive
the benefits of the Administaff Agreement, namely the seamless
continuation of employment for all of the Debtor's employees and
its current employee payroll and benefit system.  Because the
Administaff Agreement governs, among other things, the provision
of wages and benefits to the Debtor's employees, if the relief
requested herein is not granted promptly, the Debtor may begin to
lose the employees and positive morale necessary to continue
business operations and preserve the value of the Debtor's estate.

SHUBH HOTELS PITTSBURGH: Lender Challenges Bankruptcy Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that a lender is challenging Shubh
Hotels Pittsburgh LLC's bankruptcy-exit plan and is proposing its
own sale-driven road map for the company's Chapter 11 case.

According to the report, Mortgage lender Carbon Capital II Real
Estate CDO 2005-1 LTD and loan administrator BlackRock Financial
Management Inc. introduced a Chapter 11 plan to rival the one the
company put forth last fall.  Dow Jones' relates that a judge is
set to consider the dueling proposals at a disclosure statement
hearing Jan. 31.

The plan from Carbon Capital and BlackRock calls for a sale of
Shubh's assets, with the lender itself kicking off bidding with a
credit bid of up to $52.6 million, the report notes.

Dow Jones' says that figure encompasses the outstanding balance
owed to the lender under both prebankruptcy and postbankruptcy
loans.  In addition, the report relates, the lender is offering
$2.1 million for construction completion and a $3.7 million cash
payment that would go toward paying off a class of secured claims,
which are pegged at $1.3 million, administrative expense claims
and priority claims.

Boca Raton, Florida-based Shubh Hotels Pittsburgh, LLC, owns and
operates the Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel.  It filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on September 7, 2010 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case
No. 10-26337).  Scott M. Hare, Esq., in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

debts at $50 million to $100 million.

Patrick Lester at The Morning Call reports that lender Wilmington
Trust asked a federal bankruptcy court judge to convert the

Northgate Development Co. and Wynstone Development Group -- to
Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding.  Wilmington attorneys are due in

Mr. Lester, citing papers filed with the court, Wilmington Trust
claimed THP's bankruptcy attorneys have been paid a little more
than $309,000 of the $1.5 million they requested between January
and April.

Mr. Lester noted the company has not filed a reorganization plan,
has left many bills unpaid and faces "major obstacles" in staying
in business.

Philadelphia-based T.H. Properties, L.P., has 12 working
developments in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  Timothy Hendricks

TIDEWATER MARINA: Bankr. Ct. Rules on Fittons' Claim
----------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert G. Mayer granted, in part, Robert L. and
Lindalee B. Fitton's motion for summary judgment as to the
Fittons' claim for liquidated damages against Tidewater Marina
Holding, L.C.  The Summary Judgment Motion is denied as to the
Fittons' claim for breach of contract.

The Debtor had entered into a contract with Equity Homes, LLC, the
Fittons' predecessors, to sell to Equity Homes about 340-acres of
land including a marina.  The Debtor agreed to complete an
expansion of the marina before closing and Equity Homes agreed to
loan the Debtor $5,575,000 for the construction costs.  Both
parties now assert that the other breached the contract, the
Fittons asserting that the Debtor did not complete the marina
improvements before the expiration of the Army Corps of Engineers
permit and the Debtor that Equity Homes failed, among other
matters, to timely make an advanced payment.

Based in Vienna, Virginia, Tidewater Marina Holding, L.C., filed

and $1 million to $10 million in debts.


TIDEWATER MARINA: Bankr. Ct. Rules on Yancey Summary Judgment Bid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Robert G. Mayer denied Raymond A. Yancey's motion
for summary judgment in the suit, Management, L.C., v. Champion
Title & Settlements, Inc., et. al., Adv. Pro. No. 10-1121 (Bankr.
E.D. Va.).  The adversary proceeding is a companion case to the
Debtor's objection to the proof of claim filed by Robert L. and
Lindalee B. Fitton.  Mr. Yancey is the assignee for benefit of
creditors of Equity Homes LLC.  He filed a proof of claim
asserting a right to a deposit being held by a third party under
the Real Estate Purchase Agreement between Equity Homes LLC and
the Debtor.  The Fittons are the holders of a secured note arising
from that transaction.

Mr. Yancey asserts that the deposit should be returned to him as
assignee because the Debtor breached the Real Estate Purchase
Agreement.  The Debtor denies that it breached the contract.  It
asserts that Equity Homes breached the contract and that it is
entitled to the deposit.

The Fittons assert that they, not the Debtor, are entitled to the
deposit if Equity Homes breached the contract because the deposit
is subject to their security interest.  If the Debtor is entitled
to the deposit, the Fittons should receive it because of their
lien.

The Debtor asserts that the deposit should be turned over to it
because Equity Homes breached the contract and is not entitled to
the deposit and because it has an offset against the Fittons' note
larger than the balance due on the note.

petition, the Debtor listed $10 million to $50 million in assets

TOUSA INC: Suit v. Palm Beach Newspapers Survives Dismissal Motion
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge John K. Olson denied defendant's request to
dismiss the action, TOUSA Homes, Inc., v. Palm Beach Newspapers,
Inc., Adv. Pro. No. 10-1153 (Bankr. S.D. Fla.),

The Defendant has moved pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7012,
applying Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), to dismiss the Plaintiff's
complaint seeking to recover alleged preferential transfers under
11 U.S.C. Sec. 547.  The Defendant argues that the Plaintiff's

TRW AUTOMOTIVE: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to 'Ba2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service raised TRW Automotive, Inc.'s Corporate
Family and Probability of Default ratings to Ba2 from B1.  In a
related action Moody's also raised the ratings of the senior
secured revolving credit facilities to Baa2 from Ba1, and raised
the ratings for the guaranteed senior unsecured notes to Ba2 from
B2.  The Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating was affirmed at SGL-2.
The rating outlook is stable.

Ratings Raised:

* Corporate Family Rating, to Ba2 from B1;

* Probability of Default Rating, to Ba2 from B1;

* $1.256 billion combined senior secured domestic and global
  revolving credit facilities, to Baa2 (LGD1, 4%) from Ba1 (LGD1,
  7%);

* $500 million senior unsecured notes due 2014, to Ba2 (LGD4 56%)
  from B2 (LGD4, 60%);

The $259 million of exchangeable notes are not rated by Moody's.

                         Rating Rationale

The upgrade of TRW's Corporate Family Rating to Ba2 acknowledges
the significant improvement in the company's operating performance
and credit metrics that has resulted from the cyclical recovery in
automotive demand and structural changes that the company has made
in its business.  TRW's EBIT margin of 7.6% (using Moody's
standard adjustments) for the LTM period ended 10/1/10 benefits
from the significant restructuring actions taken during the last
several years and is higher than the company achieved in 2007 when
overall auto production rates were considerably higher.  As the
result of an equity issuance, debt repayments, and debt
refinancing to extend maturities, TRW's balance sheet has also
been strengthened, and with Debt/EBITDA of 2.3x and EBIT/Interest
of 3.8x at 10/1/10 the company's metrics have improved to levels
supportive of a higher rating.

Automotive demand is expected to show further growth as the
economy strengthens, and TRW is well positioned to benefit from
higher rates of OEM auto production.  Yet, Moody's expect the pace
of further improvement in TRW's metrics to moderate as working
capital, CAPEX and other expenditures increase to support business
growth.  Nevertheless, Moody's would expect that overall credit
metrics will remain well supportive of the Ba2 rating, and that
with a strong liquidity profile TRW has flexibility to withstand
cyclical changes in industry demand which remain a hallmark of the
automotive supplier industry.

TRW's competitive strengths include a diversified portfolio of
automotive components and sub-systems that are critical to vehicle
performance and safety, ongoing technology investments that
support its product leadership, and a broad geographic reach that
facilitates a balanced exposure to automotive OEM's globally.
TRW's technology leadership is supported by company funded
research and development spending that approximates 6% of annual
revenue and is focused on vehicle performance and safety products.
Moody's expect this focus to support TRW's product pricing and
overall revenue growth even as the auto parts sector contends with
renewed annual price-down requirements from OEM's.  Regional
variances in automotive demand will pose some challenges for the
company, including the possibility of slower growth in Europe
(approximately 58% of TRW's 2009 sales) due to the impact on
consumer spending from European government austerity programs.
Yet, with a strong presence in North America and important growth
initiatives in developing markets such as China and Brazil, TRW's
business offers good offsetting growth opportunities.  Moreover,
based on 2009 sales, with no single vehicle platform accounting
for more than 4% of revenue, and no single OEM accounting for more
than 20% of revenue, the company's product and customer diversity
are also well established.

TRW's 7.6% EBIT margin for the LTM period ending 10/1/10, is
markedly stronger than the 4-5% margin range demonstrated by the
company between 2005 and 2007, and stems from actions taken by the
company during the recession to reduce excess capacity and labor
headcount.  Going forward Moody's expect some margin headwinds
from reinstatement of incentive compensation and other costs
associated with increased production rates.  Moreover, as economic
conditions improve, commodity costs for raw materials and energy
costs will likely increase, and TRW along with other automotive
parts suppliers will be challenged to pass on these costs to their
OEM customers.  Consequently, Moody's do not currently anticipate
any further improvement in the company's margins, even as higher
volumes contribute to greater overhead absorption.  Yet, with
favorable pricing opportunities and ongoing benefits from
restructuring actions, Moody's expect TRW to sustain margins above
its historic norms over the intermediate term.

The significant reduction in CAPEX and working capital
requirements during the recession benefitted free cash flow
generation, and facilitated some of the debt reduction achieved by
the company.  Working capital needs have already increased as
automotive demand increased during 2010, but are likely to
continue to represent a modest use of cash going forward,
particularly as the company's business expands in developing
markets.  Moreover, CAPEX which averaged around 50% of
depreciation during 2009 and 2010 should rebound to a more
traditional levels that approximate depreciation as the demands of
business growth require new fixed asset investments.  Moody's
expect that TRW will fund these investment requirements through
internally generated funds, and do not anticipate any increases in
funded debt.  While Moody's expects TRW to remain free cash flow
generative, the magnitude of free cash flow generation will
moderate from levels seen during the LTM period ended 10/1/10.

The stable rating outlook considers TRW's strong credit metrics
supported by a good liquidity profile.  Further improvement in
TRW's credit metrics may be challenged by increased costs and
investments required to meet stronger demand for global automotive
production in 2011.  Yet, overall metrics are expected to remain
strongly supportive of the Ba2 rating.

Consideration for a higher ratings or rating outlook would
include: maintaining EBIT margins in the high single digits while
further expanding the business at least in line with overall
industry growth; funding business investment needs from internal
sources while sustaining a good liquidity profile; and further
improving the capital structure.  Credit metrics which might be
associated with a higher rating include Debt/EBITDA moving below
2.0x, EBIT/Interest sustained above 4x, and FCF/Debt sustained
above 10%.

Future events that have the potential to lower TRW's outlook or
ratings include deteriorating industry conditions without
sufficient offsetting restructuring actions or savings by the
company, or if TRW is unable to maintain adequate liquidity levels
to operate through a prolonged industry downturn.  Lower ratings
could result from EBIT margins approaching the low single digits,
or EBIT/Interest coverage falling below 2.5x.

TRW's SGL-2 Speculative Grade liquidity rating anticipates that
the company will maintain a good liquidity profile over the near-
term supported by a $1.256 billion revolving credit facility and
$1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents as of October 1, 2010.
Moody's anticipates that TRW will generate free cash flow more
than sufficient to cover increased levels of capital expenditures
to support new program growth.  As of October 1, 2010, the
revolving credit facility was unfunded with $39 million of issued
letters of credit.  Given TRW's strong cash balances, the
revolving credit facility will likely remain unfunded over the
next twelve months despite typical first quarter working capital
needs.  The financial covenant cushions over the near-term are
expected to allow full access to the revolver availability.  While
the current bank debt is secured by substantially all of the
company's domestic assets, the bank facility provides room for
additional junior debt.

The last rating action was on August 4, 2010 when TRW's Corporate
Family Rating was raised to B1.

TRW Automotive, Inc., headquartered in Livonia, MI, is among the

UNIFI INC: Commences Cash Tender Offer for Senior Notes Due 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------
Unifi, Inc. is commencing a cash tender offer for any and all of
its outstanding 11 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No.
904677AG6), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated
December 28, 2010, and in the related Letter of Transmittal and
Consent.

In connection with the tender offer, and on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, the Company is
soliciting consents of holders of the Notes to authorize the
elimination of most of the restrictive covenants and certain of
the events of default contained in the indenture governing the
Notes and the release of the security for the Notes.  The Company
intends to use the proceeds from a $140.0 million debt financing,
together with borrowings under the Company's existing secured
revolving credit facility or available cash, or a combination
thereof, to fund the tender.

The consent payment deadline is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
January 11, 2011 and the tender offer will expire at 12:00
midnight, New York City time, on January 26, 2011, in each case
unless earlier terminated by the Company.  Notes tendered may be
withdrawn at any time at or before the Consent Payment Deadline
but not thereafter.

The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes
validly tendered at or before the Consent Payment Deadline and
purchased pursuant to the tender offer will be $1,060, which
includes a payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes
payable only in respect of Notes tendered with consents at or
before the Consent Payment Deadline.  Holders validly tendering
Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline but at or before the
Expiration Time will be eligible to receive only the tender offer
consideration of $1,030 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes,
namely an amount equal to the total consideration less the consent
payment.

In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased in the tender offer
will receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of their
purchased Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not
including, the applicable payment date for the Notes.  Tenders of
Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts of $2,000 or
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company has reserved the right, at any time following the
Consent Payment Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time, to
accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn on or before the Early Acceptance Date.  If the Company
elects to exercise this option, the Company will pay the total
consideration or tender offer consideration, as the case may be,
for the Notes accepted for purchase at the Early Acceptance Date
promptly following the acceptance of Notes for purchase.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offer being
satisfied or waived, the Company will, after the Expiration Time,
accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered at or before the
Expiration Time.  The Company will pay the total consideration or
tender offer consideration, as the case may be, for Notes accepted
for purchase at the Final Acceptance Date promptly following the
acceptance of Notes for purchase on the Final Acceptance Date.

The Company's obligation to consummate the tender offer is subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, which are
more fully described in the Statement, including, among others, a
financing condition that the Company receive proceeds of at least
$140.0 million from a debt financing on terms satisfactory to the
Company.

The tender offer is not conditioned upon receipt of the requisite
consents to authorize the amendment of the indenture to eliminate
most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default
or the release of the security for the Notes.  The Company
currently intends, but is not obligated, to redeem any Notes that
remain outstanding after the completion of the tender offer at a
redemption price of 105.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption
date.

If the Company consummates the tender offer but purchases less
than $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes, it
currently also intends upon such consummation to satisfy and
discharge its obligations with respect to any Notes that were not
tendered or accepted for purchase in the tender offer.

The depositary and information agent for the tender offer and
consent solicitation is D.F. King & Co., Inc.  The exclusive
dealer manager for the tender offer and solicitation agent for the
consent solicitation is J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ((800) 245-8812
(toll-free) and (212) 270-1200 (collect)).

The Offer Documents will be distributed to holders of Notes
promptly.  Holders with questions or who would like additional
copies of the offer documents may call the information agent, D.F.
King & Co., Inc, toll-free at (800) 769-7666.

UNITED SOILS: Mich. App. Ct. Remands Right of First Refusal Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals of Michigan reversed and remanded for further
proceedings a trial court's order denying Independent Bank
Corporation, Independent Bank, and Independent Bank East
Michigan's motion for summary disposition in the lawsuit commenced
by Christopher J. Yatooma.

At issue case is whether Mr. Yatooma had a secured interest in a
right of first refusal.  On July 17, 2006, Ronald C. Omilian,
United Soils, Inc., Earth Products, Inc., Earth Supplies, Inc.,
and C.A.R.D. Properties, L.L.C., entered into a loan agreement
with Mr. Yatooma associated with his lending them $230,000.

On December 7, 2006, United Soils filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The Bank filed a motion for relief from the bankruptcy stay, which
was granted consistent with a stipulation.  On February 12, 2007,
the Bank and various Omilian entities, including United Soils,
entered into a Voluntary Surrender of Assets Agreement.  United
Soils (and other entities) surrendered their assets to the Bank.
The Bank ultimately sold the assets to AKO Enterprises-Waterford,
Inc.

Mr. Yatooma sued the Bank for conversion and tortious interference
with a contract.  In essence, Mr. Yatooma claimed that the Bank
failed to honor his secured interest in the right of first
refusal, which he claimed was a secured asset covered by the loan
agreement.

The appellate case is Christopher J. Yatooma, v. Russell E.
Barker, a/k/a Russell Barker, a/k/a Russ Barker, Metrosweep
Environmental Services, Inc., Metrosweep, Inc., Metro Sweep
Contracting Services, L.L.C., and CEO Capital Group, LLC; and
Independent Bank Corporation, Independent Bank, and Independent
Bank East Michigan, Case No. 294932 (Mich. App. Ct.).

A copy of the Court's Opinion, dated December 28, 2010, is
available at http://is.gd/k4InIfrom Leagle.com.  The decision was
issued by Judges Jane M. Beckering, Michael J. Talbot and Donald
S. Owens.

Based in Ray, Michigan, United Soils, Inc., sells farm supplies.
It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No.
06-58171) on December 7, 2006.  Judge Steven W. Rhodes presided
over the case.  Michael I. Zousmer, Esq., at Nathan, Neuman,
Nathan & Zousmer, P.C., in Southfield, Michigan, served as
bankruptcy counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor estimated both
assets and debts from $1 million to $100 million.


UNIVERSAL AMERICAN: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Counterparty Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'BB+'
counterparty credit rating on Universal American Corp.  The
outlook remains stable.  At the same time, S&P placed its 'BBB+'
counterparty credit and financial strength ratings on Universal
American's core insurance operating subsidiaries on CreditWatch
with negative implications.

"The affirmation of the rating on Universal American Corp.
reflects the anticipated paydown of the company's outstanding debt
upon the close of the transaction with CVS Caremark, which is
expected to occur by the end of second-quarter 2011," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jon Reichert.

Under the agreement, CVS will acquire all of the outstanding stock
of Universal American and concurrently distribute to Universal
American shareholders 100% of the shares of a newly formed public
company, which will own all non-Part D operations of Universal
American.  S&P does not expect NewCo to have any debt.

"S&P placed its ratings on Universal American's core operating
subsidiaries on CreditWatch negative to reflect its view that the
group will have a more concentrated competitive position upon the
sale of the Part D business," said Mr. Reichert.  In 2009,
Universal American derived its earnings from Part D (56%) and
Medicare Advantage (44%).  Pennsylvania Life Insurance Co., the
entity containing Universal American's Part D business, will
become part of the CVS organization, and the non-Part D business
in Pennsylvania Life will be reinsured back to another insurance
operating company in the Universal American group.

Following the transaction, S&P expects Universal American will
still be able to generate a good operating performance, albeit a
more highly concentrated one.  Through the first nine months of
2010, excluding Part D results, the company generated a return on
revenue (ROR) of 3.9%, which includes a 5.7% ROR on its Medicare
Advantage business.

S&P expects that S&P will have discussions with the management
teams of CVS and Universal American over the next several weeks.
In resolving the negative CreditWatch listing for Pennsylvania
Life, S&P will focus on the level of capitalization CVS intends to
maintain at that entity.

"For the remaining Universal American operating subsidiaries, the
key areas of discussion will be the prospective strategic
direction for that group as well as the expected levels of
capitalization at those entities," said Mr. Reichert.  "Because
the group likely will have a narrower competitive position
following the transaction, S&P expects that S&P will lower its
ratings by one notch."


VITRO SAB: NY Judge Needs Clarification From Texas Judge
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane said at a hearing
January 3 in Manhattan that it's unclear whether Vitro SAB can use
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York to remove attachments won by
bondholders.

A pivotal hearing will be held in Bankruptcy Judge Russell Nelms'
court on Jan. 6 on the bondholders' motion to transfer the Chapter
15 case from New York to Fort Worth, Texas.  Judge Lane is hoping
that Judge Nelms will clarify whether he has the right at this
juncture in the Chapter 15 case to dissolve the attachments.

According to Mr. Rochelle, Judge Lane said it was unclear whether
Judge Nelms intended for him to have the right to dissolve
attachments that bondholders had won in New York state court tying
up Vitro's U.S. assets.

                         About Vitro SAB

Headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:
VITROA; NYSE: VTO), through its two subsidiaries, Vitro Envases
Norteamerica, SA de C.V. and Vimexico, S.A. de C.V., is a global
glass producer, serving the construction and automotive glass
markets and glass containers needs of the food, beverage, wine,
liquor, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

Vitro is the largest manufacturer of glass containers and flat
glass in Mexico, with consolidated net sales in 2009 of
Ps. 23,991 million US($1.837 billion).

Vitro defaulted on its debt in 2009, and is now seeking to
restructure around US$1.5 billion in debt, including US$1.2
billion in notes.

Vitro launched an offer to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt
from bondholders.  The tender offer would be consummated with a
bankruptcy filing in Mexico and Chapter 15 filing in the United
States.  Vitro said noteholders would recover as much as 73% by
exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt or convertible bonds.
The offer was to expire December 7.

Several noteholders opposed the exchange, including Knighthead
Master Fund, L.P., Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc., Davidson
Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, and Brookville Horizons
Fund, L.P.  The dissident noteholders hold US$75 million, or
approximately 6% of the outstanding bond debt.  The noteholders
commenced involuntary bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code against Vitro Asset Corp. (Bankr. N.D. Tex.
Case No. 10-47470) and nine other affiliates on November 17, 2010.
Judge Russell Nelms presides over the involuntary Chapter 11 case.

The U.S. affiliates subject to the involuntary petitions are
Vitro Chemicals, Fibers & Mining, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case
No. 10-47472); Vitro America, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47473); Troper Services, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47474); Super Sky Products, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47475); Super Sky International, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case
No. 10-47476); VVP Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47477); Amsilco Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47478); B.B.O. Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47479); Binswanger Glass Company (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47480); Crisa Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47481);
VVP Finance Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47482); VVP
Auto Glass, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47483); V-MX
Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47484); and Vitro
Packaging, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47485).

Vitro engaged Susman Godfrey, L.L.P. as U.S. special litigation
Counsel to analyze the potential rights that Vitro may exercise in
the United States against the ad hoc group of dissident
bondholders and its advisors.

A larger group of noteholders, known as the Ad Hoc Group of Vitro
Noteholders -- comprised of holders, or investment advisors to
holders, which represent roughly $650 million of the Senior Notes
due 2012, 2013 and 2017 issued by Vitro -- was not among the
Chapter 11 petitioners, although the group has expressed concerns
over the exchange offer.  The group says the exchange offer
exposes Noteholders who consent to potential adverse consequences
that have not been disclosed by Vitro.  The group is represented
by John Cunningham, Esq., and Richard Kebrdle, Esq., at White &
Case LLP.

On December 13, 2010, Vitro SAB commenced "concurso mercantile"
proceedings in a court in Monterrey, Mexico.  Vitro SAB filed a
pre-packaged Concurso Plan in the Federal District Court for Civil
and Labor Matters for the State of Nuevo Leon.  Vitro SAB believes
that -- as a result of the implementation of the Concurso Plan
through the Mexican Proceeding -- the holders of the Restructured
Debt will recover 68% to 75% of the face value of their respective
claims.

On December 27, 2010, Vitro SAB said the Mexican Judge consented
to its insolvency application.

Vitro SAB also commenced parallel proceedings under Chapter 15 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16619) in
Manhattan on December 13, 2010, to seek U.S. recognition and
deference to its bankruptcy proceedings in Mexico.  Judge Sean H.
Lane presides over the Chapter 15 case.

Alejandro Francisco Sanchez-Mujica, as foreign representative of
Vitro, has asked the S.D.N.Y. Court to enter an order recognizing
the Mexican Proceeding as "foreign main proceeding" pursuant to
11 U.S.C. Secs. 1515 and 1517.

An ad hoc group of Vitro Noteholders, who are holders or advisors
to holders of more than US$720 million in aggregate principal
amount of US$1.2 billion in Vitro SAB senior notes, has asked the
Texas Court to transfer and jointly administer the Chapter 15 case
with the Texas cases.

Vitro SAB has countered with a motion seeking to move the
involuntary bankruptcies against its U.S. subsidiaries to New
York, where the Chapter 15 case is pending.

Judge Nelms has modified the automatic stay that halted
proceedings in the Chapter 15 case, pending his ruling on a
request to transfer the Chapter 15 case to Texas.  At the hearing
December 20, Judge Nelms said he would hold a separate hearing on
Feb. 10 to decide if the U.S. Vitro subsidiaries should be thrown
into Chapter 11 involuntarily.

These ratings were withdrawn:

* Corporate Family Rating at Ba2
* Probability of Default Rating at Ba3
* Senior secured term loan at Ba2 (LGD 2, 28%)
* Senior secured revolving credit facility at Ba2 (LGD 2, 28%)

                        Ratings Rationale

Moody's withdrew the credit ratings because the company's rated
debt has been fully repaid.  The last rating action on Carter's
was on September 15, 2009, when the company's Corporate Family
Rating was upgraded to Ba2 from Ba3.

* U.S. Car Sales Up 11% in December 2010
----------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Sharon Terlep and Dow Jones Newswires'
John Kell report that U.S. auto sales rose 11% in December 2010.

According to Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell:

     -- General Motors Co.'s sales rose 8.5% in December and 7.2%
        for the full year;

     -- Ford Motor Co.'s sales increased 6.8% in December and
        almost 20% for the full year;

     -- Chrysler Group LLC's sales increased 16.4% in December and
        16.5% for 2010;

     -- Hyundai Motor Co. said December sales climbed 33% to
        44,802.  For the full year, its sales totaled 538,228, up
        24%; and

     -- Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales fell 5.5% in December and were
        flat for the year.

The report notes Chrysler sold 1.1 million vehicles last year,
hitting the target set a year ago by Chief Executive Sergio
Marchionne.  The report also says it was the first year Hyundai's
U.S. sales exceeded 500,000 vehicles.

In a statement, GM said its dealers reported 223,932 total sales
in December, a 16% increase from a year ago for the company's four
brands.  The gain was driven by solid retail sales which were 27%
higher than a strong December a year ago.  For the calendar year,
total sales for GM's four brands increased 21% to 2,202,927, while
retail sales rose 16% for the year.  GM's four brands sold 118,435
more vehicles in 2010 than the company did with eight brands in
2009, and will gain total and retail market share for the year.  A
copy of GM's sales report is available at http://is.gd/k7QVd

In a statement, Ford said its full-year sales totaled 1.935
million, up 19% versus a year ago, marking the largest increase of
any full-line manufacturer.  A copy of Ford's sales report is
available at http://is.gd/k7R0t

According to Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell, the sales results cap a year
that suggests the auto industry is on the verge of one of the most
dramatic shifts in its history.  The report points out that for
most of the past century, the U.S. car industry was dominated by
General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC.  Now,
as a result of both long-term trends and the upheaval of the last
two years, the Big Three are about to be replaced by a Gang of
Seven as the industry's driving force.

Ms. Terlep and Mr. Kell also note that Hyundai saw its U.S. market
share in 2010 climb to just short of 5%.  If Hyundai crosses that
threshold as expected this year, the U.S. market will have seven
manufacturers -- GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda Motor Co., Chrysler,
Nissan Motor Co. and Hyundai -- with market share of 5% or more.
That's a dramatic shift from the days when the three Detroit
companies dominated the market and dictated the industry's
direction, the report relates.


* Andrea Fischer to Join Morrison Cohen LLP as Partner
------------------------------------------------------
Morrison Cohen LLP disclosed the admission to the firm of its
newest lateral Partner, Andrea Fischer.

Ms. Fischer will join the firm's Bankruptcy and Restructuring
Practice, a sixteen member team consisting of senior bankruptcy,
corporate, finance, litigation, benefits, and tax professionals in
a multidisciplinary approach to a national bankruptcy practice
regularly representing corporate and partnership debtors, secured
and unsecured creditors, and financial institutions on all levels
of the capital structure in all transactional and litigation
aspects of reorganization cases, prepackaged chapter 11 cases,
Section 363 sales, out-of-court restructurings, and workouts.

Andrea comes to Morrison Cohen with over 15 years of experience
representing secured creditors, debtors, trustees, secured
lenders, and unsecured creditors in complex Chapter 11 cases.
Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Fischer was a Bankruptcy Partner at
Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP.

David Scherl, Chairman of Morrison Cohen, noted that Ms. Fischer's
experience meshes perfectly with the Firm's middle market capital
markets practice, including its bankruptcy and restructuring
practices.  "Andrea is straight out of central casting for us. She
brings with her a tremendous amount of bankruptcy and
restructuring experience and will be able to advise our many
financial institution, buyout sponsor, real estate investment
partnership and operating company clients.  We offer senior level
advisory services at rational hourly rates; Andrea fits that bill
to a tee."

                           *********

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 by e-mail.

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases by individuals and business entities estimating
assets and debts or disclosing assets and liabilities at less than
$1,000,000.  The list includes links to freely downloadable images
of the small-dollar business-related 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,

bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
