ADVANCED LIFE: Bank to Waive Defaults Upon $186,000 Payment
-----------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Life Sciences Holdings, Inc., on December 29, 2010,
entered into an Omnibus Amendment with The Leaders Bank relating
to the Company's Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and
Forbearance Agreement with Leaders.  Under the terms of the
Amendment, Leaders agreed to waive the existing defaults under the
Loan Agreement and the Company agreed to make an interest reserve
payment of $186,000 by January 10, 2011.  The due date for the
$1.1 million principal payment that is currently due will be
extended to April 1, 2011 upon payment of the Initial Reserve.
This $1.1 million principal payment as well as an additional
$1.0 million principal payment also due on April 1, 2011, can be
further extended to January 1, 2012, if the Company pays $486,000
in additional interest reserve by April 1, 2011.

The Company defaulted under the Loan Agreement as a result of its
failure to make a $1.5 million mandatory prepayment by October 1,
2010.  The Company paid $420,000 of the required prepayment amount
in October 2010.

On November 23, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with
Leaders, pursuant to which Leaders agreed to forbear from
exercising rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement from the
date of the agreement to January 3, 2011, subject to certain
conditions.  Among other things, the Company was required to
engage an advisor for purposes of reviewing the Company's business
plans, budgets and expenditures and making recommendations
regarding the same.  The Company was also required to submit to
Leaders a business plan outlining its budgets and capital raising
plans.

Based in Woodridge, Illinois, Advanced Life Sciences Holdings,
Inc. and its subsidiary Advanced Life Sciences, Inc., conduct new
drug research and development in the fields of infectious disease,
oncology and respiratory disease.  Since inception, the Company
has devoted substantially all of its efforts to activities such as
financial planning, capital raising and product development, and
has not derived significant revenues from its primary business
activity.  The Company is in the development stage.

The Debtor must (i) not later than 14 days after the Effective
Date, file a schedule of unpaid debts incurred after the

and (ii) not later than 30 days after the Effective Date, file a
final report and account.

Ronald Peterson, Esq., at Jenner & Block, has been appointed as
trustee.

ALDA PHARMACEUTICALS: Posts C$4.0 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ALDA Pharmaceuticals Corp. filed on January 3, 2010, its annual
report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

The Company reported a net loss of C$3,992,659 on C$1,459,686 of
sales for fiscal 2010, compared with a net loss of C$1,183,009 on
C$282,261 of sales for fiscal 2009.  The increased loss incurred
in fiscal 2010 is primarily due to payments to VANOC for the
Sponsorship.

As announced on July 15, 2009, the Company entered into a
corporate sponsorship agreement ("the Sponsorship") with the
Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games ("VANOC").  Under the terms of the Sponsorship, the
Company has the exclusive rights to be the Official Supplier in
the Hand Sanitizer and Disinfectant Cleaning Products category for
the 2010 Winter Games and rights to associate with the Canadian
Olympic Team competing at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games
and the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2010, showed C$1,353,067
in total assets, C$1,113,771 in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of C$239,296.

              History of Generating Limited Revenues

The Company has no history of pre-tax profit and in the previous
three years has had only limited annual revenues for each of the
years it has been operating.  The Company sustained operating
losses for each of its fiscal years and has sustained significant
accumulated operating losses.  Operations of the Company have been
funded primarily by the issuance of share capital.

The auditor's reports to the shareholders are expressed in
accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not require
a reference to conditions and events that cast substantial doubt
on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when these
are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

"The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to raise additional financing and ultimately
attain and maintain profitable operations," the Company said in
the filing.  "To the extent the Company is unable to cover its
ongoing cash requirements through operations, the Company expects
to raise additional financing to cover any shortfall.  There can
be no assurance that such financing and profitability will occur
in the amounts and with terms expected."

"In the event that cash flow from operations, if any, together
with the proceeds from any future financings are insufficient to
meet the Company's current operating expenses, the Company will be
required to re-evaluate its planned expenditures and allocate its
total resources in such a manner as the Board of Directors and
management deems to be in the Company's best interest.  This may
result in a substantial reduction of the scope of existing and
planned operations."

At June 30, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
C$9,717,194 (C$5,724,535 at June 30, 2009) and working capital of
C$234,420 (C$1,721,192 at June 30, 2009).

ALLEN CAPITAL: Plan Outline Hearing Commences on January 24
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas has
set a hearing commencing on January 24, 2011, at 1:30 p.m., to
consider adequacy of the Third Amended Disclosure Statement
explaining DLH Master Land Holding, LLC, and Allen Capital
Partners, LLC's Plan of Reorganization.

The hearing on the adequacy of Richard S. Allen and Richard S.
Allen, Inc.'s Disclosure Statement, as amended, will commence on
January 26, 2011 at 1:30 p.m.

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 December 22, 2010,
the Plan contemplates the Debtors obtaining a combination of one
or more term loans or equity contributions totaling $30 million to
$50 million as exit financing, using some of those monies to
obtain releases of collateral which would then be pledged as
security to support the Exit Financing facility.  The remaining
Exit Financing proceeds will be used to pay the DIP loan, fund
post-Effective Date Operations, pay Chapter 11 expenses and
provide certain cash outs to certain small unsecured creditors
willing to deeply discount their claims for cash, provide an
interest reserve and finance the construction of certain
improvements.  The Debtors are discussing the financing with a
number of potential sources, but do not currently have a
commitment.  Because the Debtors do not currently know the precise
collateral required by the lender or lenders the final terms of
the DLH Exit Financing may differ from what Debtors are currently
proposing.

The ACP Exit Financing will potentially be obtained by sale of a
portion of ACP's 100% ownership interest in LPKC, an entity which
holds an option from the BNSF railway to purchase land adjacent to
an intermodal in Kansas City or may take the form of a loan
secured by a junior interest in the various membership interests
held by ACP.  The Debtors anticipate ACP's non-bankrupt
subsidiaries may also be required to pledge assets to secure the
ACP Exit Financing.  Similar to the DLH Exit Financing, the
proceeds from the ACP Exit Financing will be used to pay the DIP
loans, pay Chapter 11 expenses and cash outs to unsecured ACP
creditors willing to discount claims for cash, and provide
interest and operating reserves.

In the event the Debtors are unable to obtain Exit Financing, the
Plan will be null and void in all respects, the Effective Date
will never occur and the Confirmation Order would be voided.

Under the Plan, Unsecured Allowed Claims against DLH total
approximately $11.6 million, including approximately $637,000 in
smaller claims (less than $ 125,000 each).

DLH proposes a cafeteria plan with options for Allowed Unsecured
Claims:

   A) 20 % in cash paid to each electing holder of an Allowed
      Claim of $125,000 or less or, the holder of any Allowed
      Claim that is willing to reduce its claim to $125,000.
      These claims are payable within 90 days after the Effective
      Date and will be funded from proceeds of the Exit Financing.

   B) Receive a Variable Pay Note in the principal amount of 50%
      of the electing holder's Allowed Claim, payable without
      interest from 75% of DLH Unsecured Net Proceeds.  If not
      previously paid, these notes will mature and be fully
      payable seven years from the Effective Date.

   C) Receive a Variable Pay Note in the principal amount of 100%
      of the electing holder's Allowed Claim payable from 25% of
      DLH Unsecured Net Proceeds, but only until the Option B
      notes are paid in full, and thereafter receiving all of the
      DLH Unsecured Net Proceeds.  If not previously paid, these
      notes will mature and be fully payable ten years from the
      Effective Date, with interest accruing at the federal
      judgment rate in effect on the Effective Date.  From
      September 27, 2010, to October 3, the federal judgment rate
      was 0.25%.

   D) An electing holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim may convert
      its Allowed Claim to a Class B Preferred Callable Membership
      Interest with par value equal to the amount of the Allowed
      Claim.

For all remaining unsecured ACP creditors, ACP proposes a
cafeteria plan whose options will be:

   A) 20 % in cash paid to each holder of an Allowed Claim of
      $60,000 or less or which the holder is willing to reduce its
      claim to $60,000.  These claims will be payable within 90
      days after the Effective Date and will be funded from
      proceeds of the Exit Financing.

   B) Receive a Variable Pay Note in the principal amount of 50%
      of the electing holder's Allowed Claim, payable without
      interest from their pro rata share of 75% of ACP Unsecured
      Creditor Net Proceeds.  Unless previously paid, these notes
      mature seven years from the Effective Date.

   C) Receive a Variable Pay Note in the principal amount of 100%
      of the electing holder's Allowed Claim payable from 25% of
      ACP Unsecured Creditor Net Proceeds, but only until the
      Option B notes are paid in full, and thereafter receiving
      all of the ACP Unsecured Creditor Net Proceeds.  If not
      previously paid, these notes will mature and be fully
      payable ten years from the Effective Date, with interest
      accruing at the federal judgment rate on the Effective Date
      of the Plan.

   D) Class C Preferred Callable Preferred Membership Interests in
      DLH.

AMERICAN INT'L: Blackstone Continues to Rack Up Fees
----------------------------------------------------
Lauren Tara LaCapra, writing for TheStreet.com, says while The
Blackstone Group has been shut out of its role as lead adviser for
American International Group's restructuring process, it continued
racking up fees because of a contract inked under a previous AIG
management team.

Ms. LaCapra relates AIG ended up paying four firms last year --
Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Rothschild and Citigroup -- to do the
work that Blackstone alone had been contracted to perform,
starting in late-2008.

According to Ms. LaCapra, AIG's relationship with Blackstone is in
tatters as a result of a sharp shift in management approach when
current CEO Robert Benmosche seized the reins from the management
team of predecessor Ed Liddy.  In November, AIG began selling off
its long-term investment in Stephen Schwarzman's storied firm.
Ms. LaCapra says the move came in tandem with an agreement to end
the business relationship with Blackstone after months of often
acrimonious negotiations that forced AIG back to Goldman Sachs.

According to Ms. LaCapra, a high-level source intimately involved
in AIG's negotiations who wasn't authorized to speak on the
record, said Blackstone "hadn't been doing anything, even though
they had been billing us monthly."  That source said, "We just
wanted to get them out of our offices; we wanted to get them out
of here; we just couldn't stand them being here anymore. But they
were still charging us."

Ms. LaCapra says a source siding with Blackstone disputes that
characterization, describing the firm's services as "a bargain"
and noting that some AIG executives who have "been hurt in the
pocketbook" due to the company's stock decline or bonus
restrictions have ample reason to gripe about Blackstone's fees.

According to Ms. LaCapra, in any case, the relationship has come
to a close -- and Blackstone is only the latest in a string of
high-level corporate casualties that AIG has endured since its
initial bailout woes.

                             About AIG

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

In September 2008, AIG experienced a liquidity crunch when its
credit ratings were downgraded below "AA" levels by Standard &
Poor's, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.  AIG almost
collapsed under the weight of bad bets it made insuring mortgage-
backed securities.  The Company, however, was bailed out by the

AMERICAN INT'L: Taiwan Secom Group Eyes Stake in Nan Shan
---------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that American International Group's protracted
sale of its Nan Shan unit was further complicated on Tuesday when
home security company Taiwan Secom Group proposed buying a stake
in the business.  Reuters says the offer may please regulators but
runs counter to AIG's plans.  Taiwan Secom would expect to list
the unit in Taiwan.

Reuters relates a spokesman for Taiwan Secom has told Bloomberg
News that his company could also bid with partners for all of Nan
Shan, rather than just part of it.

According to Reuters, Taiwan Secom, an affiliate of cement firm
Goldsun, is setting up a holding company with Hong Kong investment
firm Primus Financial to acquire a stake in Nan Shan, said Max
Chu, a director of Taiwan Secom.

Taiwan regulators have previously suggested a Taiwan listing, but
AIG has said it wants to sell the unit to another company, to
increase the chances of its doing a deal quickly.

AMERICAN MEDIA: Emerged From Chapter 11 on Dec. 22
--------------------------------------------------
American Media Inc. exited bankruptcy on Dec. 22, two days after
the judge signed a confirmation order approving its reorganization
plan, Chief Executive Officer David Pecker said in an interview,
according to Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg
News.  With a revamped balance sheet, Mr. Pecker said American
Media will look to acquire publishing properties.

Based in New York, American Media, Inc., publishes celebrity
journalism and health and fitness magazines in the U.S.  These
include Star, Shape, Men's Fitness, Fit Pregnancy, Natural Health,
and The National Enquirer.  In addition to print properties, AMI
manages 14 different Web sites.  The company also owns
Distribution Services, Inc., the country's #1 in-store magazine
merchandising company.

American Media, Inc., and 15 units, including American Media
Operations, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 protection in Manhattan
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16140) on November 17, 2010.  Judge
Martin Glenn presides over the case.  Ira S. Dizengoff, Esq., Arik
Preis, Esq., Meredith A. Lahaie, Esq., Stefanie L. Kurlanzik,
Esq., and Kevin M. Eide, Esq., at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer &
Feld, LLP, in New York, serve as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.
Moelis & Company is the Debtors' financial advisors and investment
bankers.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC is the claims and notice
agent.

AMI estimated assets of $0 to $50,000 and debts of $500 million to
$1 billion in its Chapter 11 petition.  AMO, AMI's operating unit,
estimated assets of $100 million to $500 million and debts of
$500 million to $1 billion in its Chapter 11 petition.

American Media filed, together with the petition, a pre-packaged
Chapter 11 plan where holders of notes and bank debt would receive
either cash, new notes or stock.  Judge Glenn confirmed the
Debtors' Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization on
December 20, 2010, clearing the way for the Debtors to emerge from
Chapter 11 reorganization by the end of 2010.


AMERICAN MEDIA: Newly Emerged AMI Gets 'B' Corporate from S&P
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to Boca Raton, Fla.-based American Media
Inc.  The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's $385 million senior
secured first-lien notes due 2017 an issue-level rating of 'B' (at
the same level as the 'B' corporate credit rating) with a recovery
rating of '4', indicating S&P's expectation of average (30%-50%)
recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment default.

In addition, S&P assigned the company's $104.9 million senior
secured second-lien notes due 2018 an issue-level rating of 'CCC+'
(two notches below the 'B' corporate credit rating) with a
recovery rating of '6', indicating S&P's expectation of negligible
(0%-10%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment
default.

All ratings on former entity American Media Operations Inc. have
been withdrawn.

"The ratings on American Media reflect S&P's expectation that
leverage will remain relatively high and interest coverage will
remain low," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Tulip Lim, "but
that the company will maintain a cushion of compliance under its
financial covenants of over 15%." These factors underpin S&P's
view of American Media's financial profile as aggressive.

"The ratings also reflect S&P's expectations that the company's
business will continue to operate in highly competitive markets,
its operating diversity will remain limited, it will continue to
be vulnerable to cyclicality, and it will face adverse secular
trends," added Ms. Lim.  For these reasons, S&P considers American
Media's business risk profile to be vulnerable.

ANGIOTECH PHARMACEUTICALS: Shares to Be Delisted by NASDAQ Jan. 13
------------------------------------------------------------------
Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received a notice from The Nasdaq
Stock Market stating Angiotech has not regained compliance with
Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) within the 180 calendar day grace
period ending January 3, 2011.  Nasdaq's notice indicates
Angiotech's common shares will be delisted on January 13, 2011.
The Nasdaq rules provide for an appeal of the above decision by
requesting a hearing in accordance with appropriate procedures as
outlined by the Company Guide.  Angiotech will not request a
hearing. Angiotech's common shares will still be tradable on the
Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "ANP".

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada, Angiotech
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANPI; TSX: ANP) --
http://www.angiotech.com/-- is a global specialty pharmaceutical
and medical device company.  Angiotech discovers, develops and
markets innovative treatment solutions for diseases or
complications associated with medical device implants, surgical
interventions and acute injury.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed $
326.80 million in total assets, $60.30 million in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $622.16 million.

In early December 2010, Angiotech said it has reached an agreement
with the holders of 76% of its 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes to
extend certain deadlines outlined in their Recapitalization
Support Agreement dated October 29, 2010.  Seventy-three percent
of the holders of the Subordinated Notes executed the Initial
Support Agreement and presently, 85% of the holders of the
Subordinated Notes have consented to the Initial Support
Agreement. On November 29, 2010, Angiotech and the Trustee, at the
direction of a majority of the holders of its Subordinated Notes,
extended the grace period applicable to interest payments due on
the Subordinated Notes before an event of default occurs, with
such grace period applicable to the $9.7 million semi-annual
interest payment that was due on the Subordinated Notes on
October 1, 2010 extended until December 30, 2010.

In November 2010, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the
probability of default rating of Angiotech to Ca/LD from Ca and
affirmed the Corporate Family Rating at Ca.  The company's other
existing debt ratings were affirmed.  The outlook is developing.

The assignment of the Ca/LD is the conclusion of the 30-day grace
period in which the company missed the original interest payment
of $9.7 million on its 7.75%, $250 million senior subordinated
notes due Oct. 1, 2010.  Moody's treats the failure to meet the
original contractual terms as a limited default.

ASARCO LLC: Arthur Andersen Wants Summary Judgement on Claim
------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
Rules 7056 and 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure,
Arthur Andersen LLP asks the Bankruptcy Court for a partial
summary judgment in its favor on that portion of the Asarco LLC
Plan Administrator's assertion challenging Andersen for not having
performed a so- called "with and without analysis" in support of
its Claim No. 3511 filed in an unliquidated amount against ASARCO
LLC.

Andersen believes that, as a matter of law, (i) it has no
obligation or duty to perform the "with and without analysis" as
a condition to receiving its agreed compensation from ASARCO and,
therefore, (ii) the absence of the analysis does not offer a
legitimate basis for reducing, let alone disallowing, the Claim.

Andersen therefore asks Judge Schmidt to strike that portion of
the Plan Administrator's objection to the Claim based on the
"with and without analysis," and set the balance of the Objection
for evidentiary hearing.

Prior to the commencement of its Chapter 11 proceedings, ASARCO
engaged Andersen to provide professional tax services in
connection with a tax refund claim based on a special 10-year
carryback of certain qualifying losses.  Under the terms of the
parties' engagement letter and agreements, ASARCO agreed, among
other things, to pay Andersen fees based on specified percentages
of the tax refund claims filed on ASARCO's behalf, as well as the
actual tax refund recovered by or credited to ASARCO.  The Plan
Administrator has admitted that ASARCO or one of its affiliates
received tax refunds and interest on May 26, 2010.

With the tax refund money now in hand, the Plan Administrator now
seeks to disallow Andersen's claim to compensation in its
entirety, Joseph J. Wielebinski, Esq., at Munsch Hardt Kopf &
Harr, P.C., in Dallas, Texas, tells the Court.  This position is
apparently based on Andersen's supposed failure to provide a so-
called "with and without analysis" to determine "the actual tax
and interest savings attributable to application of the carryback
position," he notes.

The Plan Administrator suggested that the "with and without
analysis" is required by the plain language of the agreement
between the parties.  On behalf of Anderson, Mr. Wielebinski
argues that the argument omits a critical fact -- ASARCO first
amended and then terminated its engagement of Andersen to provide
professional tax services, each time amending and restating the
fee that would be owed to Andersen in connection with the
project.

Mr. Wielebinski contends that further agreements between the
parties make no mention of the "with and without analysis"
whatsoever.

"Simply put, the governing contracts between Andersen and ASARCO
do not support the Plan Administrator's position, and the portion
of the claim objection predicated on the 'with and without
analysis' should be overruled," Mr. Wielebinski points out.

A hearing will be held on February 4, 2011, to consider
Andersen's request.

ASARCO LLC: Dona Park Residents Positive of Metal Contamination
---------------------------------------------------------------
Residents in the Dona Park neighborhood, in Texas, were found to
be contaminated with toxic levels of various metals, including
arsenic, lead and zinc.

The Dona Park Neighborhood is immediately south of the former
ASARCO/Encycle facility, which closed in 2005.  According to the
Web site of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, from
1941 to 1985, ASARCO operated a smelter that produced high-grade
zinc at the Facility.  The Facility was inactive from 1986 until
1988.  Between 1988 and 2002, Encycle conducted a waste-
management business at the Facility.  ASARCO employed an air
discharge smokestack as part of its zinc smelter operations.  The
stack is located approximately 950 feet northwest of the Dona
Park Neighborhood and was a potential source of zinc, cadmium,
and lead contamination from the Facility via wind dispersion in
the residential area.

Sterling Bocage, an owner of a non-profit organization that
offers hair analysis testing, tested two adults and five children
in the area, and laboratory results show all seven people,
including a one-year-old child, have toxic levels of metals in
their bodies like aluminum and lead, Melissa Schroeder of
kristv.com reports.  She says that the organization is now
raising funds to test all of the Dona Park residents.

The report also says that the TCEQ began taking soil samples from
the neighborhood two months ago, and preliminary results showed
toxic levels of metals in the ground.  However, no plan of action
on a cleanup has been taken.

ASARCO LLC: Faulted for June 2010 Ray Mine Accident
---------------------------------------------------
The United States of America Department of Labor, Mine Safety and
Health Administration, issued a Report of Investigation in
December 2010 regarding the June 20, 2010 accident in ASARCO
LLC's Ray Mine, near Kearny, in Arizona.

The investigators are David J. Small, Mine Safety and Health
Inspector, Patrick E. Retzer, Electrical Engineer, and Hilario S.
Palacios, Mine Safety and Health Specialist.

As previously reported, diesel mechanic Thomas Benavidez was
killed in the accident, which involved a 240-ton mine haul truck
and the pickup truck he was riding in.  Another mechanic, William
Hyde, who was also in the pickup truck, was injured.

The Report concludes that the accident occurred because
management policies, procedures and controls were inadequate and
failed to ensure that persons could safely park small vehicles
near larger haul trucks.

On June 14, 2010, large haul truck tires were placed in the
parking area to demarcate parking spaces for mobile equipment
that would then be parked between the large tires, the Report
notes.  The project was completed on June 16, 2010, four days
prior to the accident.  With the new configuration, the smaller
vehicles could not park beside the larger haul trucks as before.

"Management did not establish new procedures and policies
designating specific non-blind parking areas for smaller vehicles
or require radio communications between the drivers of small
vehicles and the haul truck operators," the Report points out.

BERNARD L MADOFF: Ex-Aide Bongiorno Again Seeks Release From Jail
-----------------------------------------------------------------
David Glovin at Bloomberg News reports that Annette Bongiorno, who
is accused of helping her former boss, Bernard L. Madoff, run a
multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, asked a judge to release her
from jail, citing the recent seizure of her bank accounts by U.S.
authorities.  Ms. Bongiorno has been in a federal lockup since a
judge ruled last month that she has access to millions of dollars
that may help her flee.

According to Bloomberg News, Ms. Bongiorno is accused of
conspiracy and securities fraud for, prosecutors say, aiding Mr.
Madoff in his decades-long fraud.  She began working for him in
1968 after graduating from high school.  She oversaw about 200
accounts at Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, Mr.
Madoff's financial advisory firm, according to prosecutors.

The case is U.S. v. Bongiorno, 10-cr-228, U.S. District Court,
Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Court OKs CMRSA Pleas in Suits vs. Insurers
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Donald MacDonald IV of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Alaska issued his proposed findings of fact and
conclusions of law with respect to the second motion for partial
summary judgment and the motion to compel arbitration filed by
Catholic Mutual Relief Society of America in the adversary
proceeding commenced by the Catholic Bishop of Northern Alaska
against Catholic Mutual and other insurers.

Catholic Mutual filed the Summary Judgment Motion in March 2010,
which asks for a judicial determination that, among other things,
the Diocese has breached its obligations under the occurrence-
based insurance policies issued by Catholic Mutual by agreeing to
settle the abuse claims, under the provisions of its confirmed
Third Amended and Restated Joint Plan of Reorganization, without
Catholic Mutual's consent.  Catholic Mutual filed the motion to
compel arbitration and stay proceedings with regard to the post-
1990 abuse claims, which are those claims based on acts of sexual
abuse which are alleged to have occurred on or after July 1, 1990.

Robert L. Berger, settlement trustee under the Diocese's Plan,
opposed both motions.

After oral argument on the motions, Judge MacDonald, in his 73-
page Proposed Findings, stated that:

  (a) Catholic Mutual's Summary Judgment Motion be granted; and

  (b) Catholic Mutual's Motion to Compel be granted, in part, to
      require Mr. Berger to submit all disputes regarding the
      "claims made policy" to Catholic Mutual as provided for
      under the dispute resolution provision found in the
      policy.  However, as there is no pending, adjudicable
      dispute implicating the claims made policy at this time,
      Catholic Mutual's request for a stay of the adversary
      proceeding should be denied.

A copy of the Proposed Findings is available for free at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Church_F_Findings_12132010.pdf

              Settlement Trustee Seeks Extension

Mr. Berger asks the Court to extend to January 10, 2010, the
deadline to file objections to Judge MacDonald's Proposed Findings
because his counsel's office is closed for the Christmas holidays.

Judge MacDonald granted the request and extended to January 10,
Mr. Berger's deadline to object.  The Court also ruled that
Catholic Mutual must file a reply to the objection, if any, on
January 24.

                   Court Dismisses Travelers

In light of the order approving the settlement agreement among the
Diocese, The Settlement Trustee, other releasing parties and
Travelers Casualty and Surety Company, formerly known as Aetna
Casualty and Surety Company, entered on October 13, 2010, in the
Diocese's bankruptcy case, Judge MacDonald ruled that Travelers
will be dismissed from the adversary proceeding, without further
notice, unless an interested party files a written objection.

The dismissal will be with prejudice, with each party bearing its
own attorney's fees and costs.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Morning Star Joins Mediation of Post-Conf. Issues
------------------------------------------------------------------
Morning Star Boys Ranch has joined The Catholic Bishop of Spokane,
also known as The Catholic Diocese of Spokane, in the Diocese's
mediation effort to resolve post-confirmation issues in the
bankruptcy case.

As previously reported, Judge Patricia C. Williams of the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington,
appointed Honorable Michael R. Hogan of the U.S. District Court of
Oregon to mediate on the Diocese's post-confirmation matters,
including issues relating to payments of claims, plan
interpretations, contempt order, and the replenishment of funds
for paying claims.

This is the first time that Morning Star has agreed to discuss
settling its outstanding clergy abuse cases, John Stucke of The

CCO HOLDINGS: Fitch Assigns 'BB-' Rating to Senior Unsec. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB-' rating to CCO Holdings, LLC's
senior unsecured notes due 2019.  Proceeds from the proposed
$750 million offering are expected to be used for general
corporate purposes including the repayment of term loans
outstanding under Charter Communications Operating, LLC's senior
secured credit facility.  Both CCOH and CCO are indirect wholly
owned subsidiaries of Charter Communications, Inc. As of Sept. 30,
2010, CHTR had approximately $13.25 billion of debt (principal
value) outstanding.

From Fitch's perspective, CCOH's debt issuance will not have a
material affect on Charter's overall credit protection metrics but
will enhance Charter's overall financial flexibility.  The
issuance is in line with Charter's strategy of extending and
improving the balance of its debt maturity profile.  Specifically
the new debt issuance is expected to reduce the amount of debt
scheduled to mature during 2014 from approximately $3.8 billion
(as of Oct. 1, 2010) to approximately $3.1 billion (pro forma for
the new issuance).  As of Oct. 1, 2010 and pro forma for the new
issuance, $61 million of debt is scheduled to mature during 2011,
$1.2 billion in 2012, and $253 million during 2013.

Overall, Fitch's ratings incorporate Charter's more viable capital
structure, increased financial flexibility and improved liquidity
profile following the company's emergence from Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on Nov. 30, 2009.  Additionally the ratings
are supported by Charter's size and scale as the fourth largest
cable MSO in the United States.  Fitch believes that Charter is
poised to generate sustainable and meaningful amounts of free cash
flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital
expenditures and dividends).  During the first nine months of
2010, Charter generated approximately $474 million of free cash
flow.  Fitch expects that Charter's operating profile,
characterized by slowing revenue generating unit growth, mid-
single digit revenue growth, and stable operating margins and
capital intensity metrics, will support consistent levels of free
cash flow generation during Fitch's rating horizon.  Fitch
believes that Charter will generate free cash flow in excess of
$500 million during 2011 and over $700 million in 2012.

Ratings concerns center on Charter's elevated financial leverage
(relative to other large cable multiple system operators), a
comparatively weaker subscriber clustering profile and service
penetration rates that lag behind industry leaders.  Moreover
Charter's ability to maintain its relative competitive position
and grow its revenues beyond its core 'Triple Play' service
offering remains a key consideration.  Importantly Charter
continues to deploy DOCSIS 3.0 and switched digital video
throughout its cable plant, which positions the company to
efficiently manage its cable plant bandwidth and provide the
company with sufficient service flexibility to maintain its
competitive position.  Within its video business, Charter faces
competition from two direct broadcast satellite providers --
DIRECTV and DISH -- as well as the facilities based video
offerings from AT&T, Inc. (T) and Verizon Communications, Inc.
Charter competes with T and VZ for high speed data subscribers as
well as telephony customers.  T and VZ continue to expand their
respective fiber based deployments, and as of the end of the third
quarter of 2010 (3Q'10), Charter estimates that it competes with
either T or VZ in approximately 27% to 31% of the company's homes
passed.  The bulk of the competitive overlap however is with T as
Verizon's FiOS platform is available to only 2% to 3% of Charter's
homes passed.  The competition, along with weak employment and
housing market conditions, will continue to weigh on subscriber
growth metrics.

Debt outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2010, totaled $13.25 billion
(principal value), of which 52% was senior secured.  Outstanding
debt adjusted for Charter's pre-payment of a portion of the
outstanding amount under CCO's senior secured credit facility was
approximately $12.7 billion as of Sept. 30, 2010.  Leverage for
the latest 12 months period ended Sept. 30, 2010, was 5.2 times,
and 5.0x on a pro forma basis adjusting for the debt prepayment,
reflecting a modest decline from 5.3x as of Dec. 31, 2009.  Fitch
believes that Charters credit profile will improve modestly during
the ratings horizon with leverage declining to 4.9x as of year end
2010 and 4.6x by the end of 2011.

Charter's liquidity position is adequate given the current rating
and is primarily supported by the borrowing capacity from CCO's
$1.3 billion revolver (available for borrowing was approximately
$1.2 billion as of Sept. 30, 2010) and expected free cash flow
generation.  As of Sept. 30, 2010, Charter had the capability to
draw its entire available revolver and maintain compliance with
leverage maintenance tests.  Commitments under the revolver will
expire on March 6, 2015.  However revolving lenders holding more
than 50% of the revolving commitments may advance the termination
date to Dec. 1, 2013, if on Dec. 1, 2013, CCO and its subsidiaries
do not have less than $1 billion of indebtedness with maturities
between Jan.  1, 2014 and April 30, 2014.  Key financial covenants
include maintenance tests for total leverage (5.0x) and senior
secured (first lien 4.0x) leverage measured at the CCO level of
Charter's debt structure.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's belief that the company will
continue to extend its maturity schedule and Fitch's expectation
that Charter's operating profile will not materially decline
during the near term in the face of competition and poor housing
and employment conditions.


CCO HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Rating to $750 Mil. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 (LGD5-81%) rating to the
proposed $750 million issuance of new senior unsecured notes due
2019 by CCO Holdings, LLC, an indirect intermediate holding
company of Charter Communications, Inc., and Ba3-rated CCH II, LLC
(the legal entity where the fundamental benchmark Corporate Family
Rating, or CFR, is housed).  Moody's also raised its ratings for
the senior secured second lien notes of subsidiary Charter
Communications Operating, LLC to Ba3 (LGD4-54%) from B1 (LGD4-
60%).  All other ratings were affirmed, including the Ba3 CFR and
Ba3 Probability of Default Rating.  LGD point estimates have been
revised to reflect the proforma capital structure assuming
successful completion of the pending transactions, as expected.

     23%)

  * due December 2013 if CCO still has more than $1 billion of

                        Ratings Rationale

Proceeds from the proposed new senior unsecured bond offering will
be used to repay an approximately equivalent amount of the senior
secured first lien CCO B Term Loans, plus associated transaction
fees.  "While the impact of the pending transaction is largely
neutral on a stand-alone basis, the cumulative effect of recent
refinancing activities has solidified the financial health of the
company and thereby enhanced the prospect of further operational,
financial and rating improvements in future periods," noted
Russell Solomon, Moody's Senior Vice President and lead analyst
for the company.  "We continue to see prudent fiscal management
via extension and smoothing of debt maturities at economically
attractive rates, with the concerted re-balancing of capital
between the main operating and holding companies since the company
emerged from bankruptcy in November 2009 as the primary impetus
for instrument-specific rating upgrades to date."

The B2 rating for the new CCO Holdings senior unsecured notes
reflect their structural and effective subordination to the
reduced but still sizeable amount of secured debt claims residing
at CCO.  While Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology affords the
prospect that B1 ratings may have been appropriate for this debt
class based on the aforementioned shift in capital mix, the rating
agency affirmed the existing pari-passu instrument ratings and
assigned equivalent B2 ratings to this new debt as the implied
expected loss rates fall at the cusp of B1 and B2.  Moreover, the
B2 rating was deemed to more appropriately reflect the relative
perceived risk of these claims in the context of all others in the
company's consolidated waterfall of liabilities.  Because of this
effective override, however, ratings for the senior unsecured debt
of CCO Holdings could be raised if the transaction is meaningfully
upsized and/or in conjunction with future follow-on offerings of a
similar nature wherein holding company debt is issued to
permanently repay senior-ranking operating company debt.

The rating upgrades of the CCO second lien debt ($1.65 billion in
aggregate), to Ba3 from B1, follow recent upgrades of the CCO
first lien debt (to Ba1 from Ba2) in September 2010 and reflect
ongoing application of Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.
Specifically, the upgrades incorporate the anticipated like-amount
pay-down of CCO term debt in short order with the net proceeds
from the new CCO Holdings bond offering.  The net effect of these
changes in capital mix for the consolidated company is now a
smaller amount of effectively senior secured debt of CCO (i.e.;
the first lien debt, proforma for its pay-down, causing estimated
loss rates for the same to decline to 20% from 23%, albeit still
hold at LGD2 overall) and a larger amount of junior-ranking senior
unsecured debt at intermediate holding company CCO Holdings.
This, in turn, affords modestly higher recovery prospects and more
debt cushion for senior secured second and third lien creditors,
as reflected in higher instrument ratings fro second lien debt
holders and improved LGD point estimates for both second and third
lien debt holders (to 54% and 65% for the second and third lien
notes, respectively, from 60% and 71% previously).

The positive outlook reflects the company's steadily improving
financial profile (of which the debt maturity profile remains an
important component) and expectations that enhanced financial
flexibility will afford the company greater opportunity to make
incremental infrastructure and other investments that will
ultimately generate better returns and facilitate further balance
sheet strengthening over time.  Moreover, such improvements should
be of a sufficient magnitude to warrant consideration of
prospective positive change(s) in the company's fundamental
benchmark ratings (i.e.; CFR, PDR) over the next 12-to-18 months.
The Ba3 CFR continues to broadly reflect the company's moderately
high financial risk, as evidenced by debt-to-EBITDA leverage of
approximately 5.2x, albeit declining, and a highly competitive
operating environment for increasingly mature core product
offerings.  The rating is supported, however, by the company's
large size, expectations of continued operational improvements and
ancillary growth opportunities, and meaningful perceived
underlying asset value associated with its sizeable (albeit still
shrinking) 5+ million customer base.

The SGL-1 rating reflects Moody's expectation that Charter will
maintain a robust liquidity profile over the next twelve months.
With healthy projected annual free cash flow of $500 million or
more (with some variability afforded for additional capital
investments), significant availability under existing revolving
lines of credit and very modest near-term debt amortization
requirements, the company's liquidity position continues to be
best characterized as "very good."

The last rating action was on September 20, 2010 when Moody's
assigned a B2 rating to CCO Holdings' then-proposed senior
unsecured bond offering ($750 million initially, and subsequently
increased to $1 billion), raised CCO's senior secured first lien
bank debt ratings to Ba1 from Ba2, and affirmed Charter's Ba3 CFR
and Ba3 PDR, among other ratings.  Additional information can be

CEMEX SAB: S&P Assigns 'B' Senior Rating to $1 Bil. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said that it assigned its 'B'
senior secured debt rating to the proposed issuance of up to
$1 billion in long-term notes due 2018 by Cemex, S.A.B de C.V.  At
the same time, S&P is affirming its 'B' global scale and 'mxBB+'
national scale corporate credit ratings on Cemex.

"Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' ratings on Cemex S.A.B. de
C.V. and its key subsidiaries -- Cemex Inc., Cemex Mexico S.A. de
C.V., and Cemex Espana S.A. -- reflect its highly leveraged
financial risk profile, which has a less-than-adequate liquidity
position and a relatively high concentration of its cash flow
generation in a few key operating markets despite geographic
diversification," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Laura
Martinez.  S&P believes the business risk profile is satisfactory,
given the group's leading position in the global cement, concrete,
aggregates, and ready-mix businesses; proven operating turnaround
experience; and operating efficiency.  S&P has equalized the
ratings on Cemex Mexico, Cemex Inc., and Cemex Espana because of
the strategic importance of each of these subsidiaries to the
group.

During the first nine months of 2010, Cemex continued to show weak
results as a consequence of a slower-than-expected recovery in key
markets, particularly in the U.S. Cemex's revenues declined by 6%
compared with the same period a year earlier, on a like-to-like
basis.  Volumes remained stable for cement but declined 8% for
ready-mix and 6% for aggregates, with downward price pressures in
most markets.  This has further affected Cemex's cash flow
generation and cash flow protection measures.

For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010, Cemex posted adjusted
total debt to EBITDA, EBITDA interest coverage, and funds from
operations to total debt of 9.4x, 1.5x, and 1.5%, respectively,
compared with 6.6x, 3.1x, and 3.2% a year earlier.  S&P
anticipates Cemex will continue to post weak financial metrics by
year-end 2011 as a result of expected continued weakness in cement
demand in the U.S. and some European countries.  S&P anticipates a
moderate recovery in 2012.

Cemex's liquidity is less than adequate, in S&P's view.  As of
Sept. 30, 2010, the company's cash position was $842.4 million,
and it faced $644 million in short-term debt maturities, mainly in
revolving credit lines and medium-term notes.  Cemex also faces a
$360 million payment by September 2011, related to the exercise of
Ready Mix USA's put option.  Through the proposed bond issuance,
Cemex will refinance a significant portion of its 2011 and 2012
maturities, improving its debt maturity schedule.  S&P expects
the company will generate free operating cash flow of about
$180 million and $450 million in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
S&P believes Cemex's own cash flow generation and/or refinancing
efforts will be sufficient to cover the remaining debt maturing
over the next two years.  However, it will need to seek
refinancing alternatives for the 2014 maturity of its syndicated
term facility, which totals $6.8 billion.

Cemex improved its covenant headroom through the amendment it
reached in October 2010 with the financing agreement lenders.
However, this still remains tight, and S&P believes the company
may need to renegotiate these covenants in the near term if its
financial performance doesn't begin to show an improvement during
the next few quarters.  Among other conditions, the recent
amendment requires that Cemex raises at least $1 billion of equity
or equity-like instruments by Sept. 30, 2011, to prepay debt.
Otherwise, an additional 100-basis-point margin step-up will
apply.

S&P assigned the proposed issuance of up to $1 billion in long-
term senior secured notes due 2018 by Cemex an issue-level rating
of 'B'.  S&P assigned the notes a recovery rating of '3',
indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Cemex's FOCF
will recover slowly in 2011 and continue further improvement
thereafter, affecting its key financial ratios accordingly, and
that the company will remain successful in its efforts to
refinance its debt.  In S&P's base-case scenario, S&P expects that
Cemex will post an adjusted total debt to EBITDA of about 8.5x and
an FFO to total debt of about 5.0% in 2011, followed by a further
gradual improvement.  S&P could raise the rating if the company
improves its FFO to adjusted net debt to more than 12% and its
total net debt to EBITDA to less than 5x.  S&P believes this would
result from a significant increase in volumes in its operations in
the U.S. A negative action is possible if the company's volumes
continue to decline, leading to a further deterioration in its
liquidity and financial performance, or if a covenant breach
becomes a potential risk.


CENTAUR LLC: Seeks More Exclusivity as Insurance for Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Centaur LLC is presenting its Chapter 11 plan for
confirmation at a hearing on Feb. 1.  Out of an abundance of
caution, the Debtor is seeking an extension until March 31 of the
exclusive right to solicit plan votes.  The exclusivity motion is
on the Court's calendar for Feb. 1.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors reached a settlement
in December with secured lenders designed to remove opposition to
Centaur's Chapter 11 plan.  The settlement resolves the challenges
of the Creditors Committee on the validity of the prepetition
liens and claims of the prepetition lenders.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Assigns Ratings to $750 Mil. Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its issue-
level ratings to $750 million of unsecured notes due 2019 to be
issued by subsidiaries of St. Louis-based cable TV operator
Charter Communications Inc.  S&P also raised the issue level
ratings on a portion of the company's existing unsecured debt.
The outlook is stable.

S&P rates the new notes, co-issued by Charter subsidiaries CCO
Holdings LLC and CCO Holdings Capital Corp., at 'B+' with a '5'
recovery rating, indicating S&P's expectation for modest (10%-30%)
recovery of principal in the event of a payment default.  The
company intends to use the note proceeds to repay secured bank
debt.

Reflecting the improved recovery prospects resulting from
reduction of the company's bank debt, S&P raised the issue-level
ratings on $2.6 billion of existing unsecured debt at CCO Holdings
LLC/CCO Holdings Capital Corp. to 'B+' from 'B'.  S&P also revised
the recovery rating on that debt to '5' from '6'.  The '5'
recovery rating indicates S&P's current expectation for modest
(10%-30%) recovery of principal in the event of payment default,
while the prior '6' recovery ratings indicated only negligible
(0%-10%) recovery.

The 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Charter remains unchanged.
Additionally, the ratings on Charter's secured first-, second-,
and third-lien debt and the unsecured debt at the CCH II LLC/CCH
II Capital Corp. level are unchanged.  Charter reported just over
$13 billion of debt at Sept. 30, 2010.

CMB III: Can Use Union Fidelity's Cash Collateral Until Jan. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
C.M.B. III, L.L.C., has reached an agreement with Union Fidelity
Life Insurance Company allowing the interim use of cash collateral
until January 31, 2011.

On September 7, 2006, Union Fidelity made a loan to the Debtor
evidenced by, among other things, a Promissory Note dated
September 7, 2006, in the original principal amount of $18 million
executed by the Debtor in favor of Union Fidelity.  As of
August 31, 2010, Union Fidelity asserts that the outstanding
amounts owing from the Debtor to Union Fidelity were at least
$17,033,009.78, including principal, accrued interest and late
charges.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on October 7, 2010,
Union Fidelity asked the Court to not allow the Debtor to use cash
collateral.  The Debtor hadn't sought court approval on cash
collateral use.  Union Fidelity asserted that it is entitled to an
super-priority administrative claim, replacement liens, adequate
protection payments, and sanctions.

The Debtor has agreed with APS to deposit $140,000 as a utility
cash deposit relating to any utility use that may be incurred in
connection with the Debtor's property.  The Debtor acknowledges
and agrees that the $140,000 Deposit constitutes Union Fidelity's
cash collateral and that all of Union Fidelity's rights and
remedies relating to the $140,000 Deposit are hereby fully
reserved.  In the event Union Fidelity (i) obtains stay relief in
connection with the Property and has a receiver appointed as
custodian of the Property, or (ii) otherwise takes possession and
control of the Property, via judicial foreclosure, non-judicial
foreclosure, or otherwise, then Union Fidelity will be entitled to
a refund of the $140,000 Deposit (or all remaining balance
thereof) from APS or will otherwise be entitled to direct APS to
apply the $140,000 Deposit (or all remaining balance thereof) to
past due or future utility bills owing to APS.

Union Fidelity will have, to the same extent and priority as Union
Fidelity's prepetition lien in the Property, a post-petition
replacement lien.

The Debtor will (i) upon five business days written notice,
provide Union Fidelity with access to verify cash balances,
deposits, withdrawals and other bank account information, and
reasonable access to the Debtor's books and records; and
(ii) within 10 business days from the end of each month, provide
Union Fidelity with a report of its actual use of the Cash
Collateral as compared to the amounts set forth in the budget.
The Debtor will use the money pursuant to a budget, a copy of
which is available for free at:

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

The reports will also reflect that month's beginning and ending
cash balances for the Debtor.

The Debtor has obtained approval the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona to use the Cash Collateral.

Phoenix, Arizona-based C.M.B. III, L.L.C., filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 10-30496) on
September 23, 2010.  Richard M. Lorenzen, Esq., Perkins Coie
Brown & Bain P.A., assists the Debtor in its restructuring effort.
The Debtor estimated its assets and debts at $10 million to
$50 million as of the Chapter 11 filing.


CMB III: Hearing on Creditor's Dismissal Motion Set for Jan. 7
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona will hold a
hearing on the motion to dismiss C.M.B. III, L.L.C.'s bankruptcy
case on January 7, 2010, at 1:30 p.m.

Union Fidelity Life Insurance Company, a secured creditor and
party-in-interest in the Debtor's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case filed
a limited objection to the Debtor's motion for authorization to
use cash collateral and motion to dismiss bankruptcy case.  Union
Fidelity requests that the Court dismiss the Bankruptcy Case.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on October 7, 2010,
Union Fidelity asked the Court to not allow the Debtor to use cash
collateral.  The Debtor hadn't sought court approval on cash
collateral use.  Union Fidelity asserted that it is entitled to an
super-priority administrative claim, replacement liens, adequate
protection payments, and sanctions.

According to Union Fidelity, the Debtor's property lacks equity.
The only cash of the Debtor consists of the prepetition rents that
were converted and not remitted to Union Fidelity.  Union Fidelity
said that prepetition, the Debtor failed to reserve for the
payment of property taxes, failed to segregate and hold tenants'
security deposits, and deferred substantial maintenance on the
Property.  "In addition, and even more egregious, according to the
Statement of Financial Affairs filed by the Debtor, the Debtor
distributed over $1.4 million to its equity member two months
prior to filing this case," Union Fidelity stated.

Union Fidelity claimed that the Debtor lacks sufficient cash to
pay all outstanding expenses, pay utility deposits, hold security
deposits, and perform necessary maintenance.  Union Fidelity said,
"The only possible manner in which this Debtor will be able to
reorganize is if the Debtor can enter into leases with new tenants
to fill the substantial vacant space in the Property.  Yet, the
Debtor also does not have any funds reserved for the completion of
tenant improvements.  In short, it appears that this case is dead
on arrival, and the Debtor's only 'plan' to reorganize is to spend
all of Union Fidelity's rents for several months on large, one-
time expenses that should have been paid or reserved for by the
Debtor prepetition, while remitting no payments to Union Fidelity.
Union Fidelity is not being adequately protected for the
expenditure of its rents, and the Debtor simply does not have
sufficient cash to cover all immediate expenses."

bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 10-30496) on
September 23, 2010.  Richard M. Lorenzen, Esq., Perkins Coie
Brown & Bain P.A., assists the Debtor in its restructuring
effort.  The Debtor estimated its assets and debts at $10 million
to $50 million as of the Chapter 11 filing.

COMMSCOPE INC: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 corporate family rating to
the newly acquired CommScope, Inc.  Moody's also assigned a Ba3 to
the company's new secured term loan and a B3 rating to its new
senior unsecured notes.  The facilities along with an unrated ABL
revolver and equity from private equity firm, The Carlyle Group,
will be used to take CommScope private.  The ratings outlook is
stable.

                        Ratings Rationale

The company's B2 rating reflects the high leverage of 5.8x pro
forma for the acquisition and the cyclicality of the business.
The ratings are also tempered by the frequency and severity of
downturns in the connectivity industry and challenges in
predicting carrier spending patterns as well as the company's
acquisition history.  The company is considered a strong B2
however, given the company's market leading positions across
multiple end-markets, the size and diversification of the combined
company post the integration of the Andrew acquisition and the
seasoned management team which has steered the company through
multiple industry cycles.

The ratings continue to reflect the slow recovery in the company's
wireless carrier business, its largest end market, which have been
impacted by the downturn and the inherent large fluctuations in
telecom carrier build-out and upgrade spending.  Although it has
difficult to predict end markets, the company has good cash flow
generating capabilities in up and down markets.

These ratings were assigned:

  -- Corporate family rating: B2

  -- Probability of default: B2

  -- $1.0 billion senior secured term loan due 2018, Ba3, LGD2
     (28%)

  -- $1.5 billion senior unsecured notes due 2019, B3, LGD5 (76%)

Upon closing of the transaction all prior CommScope ratings will
be withdrawn.

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that the company's end
markets have stabilized and will continue to recover.  The outlook
also accommodates moderate acquisition activity as well as
"lumpiness" in the performance of the wireless business.  The
company could face upward ratings pressure if leverage can be
sustained under 5.0x.

Moody's most recent rating action was on June 29, 2010, when
Moody's revised CommScope's ratings outlook to positive.

CommScope Inc., headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina, is a
leading global provider of connectivity and infrastructure
solutions targeted towards cable and telecom service providers as
well as the enterprise market.  The company had LTM revenues for
the period ended September 30, 2010, of approximately
$3.1 billion.


COMMSCOPE INC: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'B+'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on Hickory, N.C.-based CommScope Inc. to
'B+' from 'BB-' and removed it from CreditWatch, where it was
placed with negative implications on Oct. 25, 2010, following the
company's announcement that it was participating in discussions
with private-equity sponsor The Carlyle Group regarding a going-
private transaction.  The outlook is negative.

Simultaneously, S&P assigned a 'BB' issue-level rating and '1'
recovery rating to CommScope's proposed $1 billion senior secured
term loan due 2017.  The '1' recovery rating indicates
expectations for very high (90% to 100%) recovery in the event of
a payment default.  S&P also assigned a 'B' issue-level rating and
'5' recovery rating to the company's proposed $1.5 billion of
senior notes due 2018.  The '5' recovery rating indicates
expectations for modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.  The notes are being issued under rule 144(A).
CommScope intends to use aggregate debt proceeds of $2.715 billion
(which includes $215 million of ABL borrowings), along with a
$1.6 billion equity investment from Carlyle and cash on hand,
to finance the $3.1 billion acquisition price for CommScope,
refinance or retire about $1.4 billion of existing debt, and pay
$220 million of related fees and expenses.

Issue-level ratings on CommScope's existing senior secured term
loan due 2014 ($697.6 million outstanding at Sept. 30, 2010),
senior secured term loan due 2013 ($354.7 million outstanding at
Sept, 30, 2010), and $287.5 million of senior subordinated
convertible notes due 2015 remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications and will be withdrawn once the acquisition is
completed, which S&P expects will occur in the first quarter of
2011.  Debt, pro forma for the proposed acquisition of CommScope
by Carlyle, totals about $2.723 billion.

"The downgrade reflects S&P's view that higher debt levels and
interest expense associated with Carlyle's proposed acquisition of
CommScope will weaken the company's financial profile," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Susan Madison.  Upon completion
of the acquisition, S&P expects debt (adjusted for operating
leases, pensions, and other post-retirement benefits) to EBITDA to
increase to about 5.7x, up from about 2.9x at Sept. 30, 2010.  S&P
also expect funds from operations to adjusted debt to decline to
7% to 8%, down from the current level of about 20%.

"The negative outlook reflects CommScope's limited ability to
absorb near-term revenue declines or margin erosion at the current
'B+' rating," added Ms.  Madison.  CommScope is a global provider
of infrastructure solutions for wireless, business enterprise, and
residential broadband networks.

The ratings on CommScope reflect the company's fair business
profile, with favorable long-term demand fundamentals, tempered by
a limited contracted revenue base, and a financial profile which
S&P considers highly leveraged after the LBO transaction,
reflecting both deterioration in credit metrics and a more
aggressive financial policy given the private-equity ownership.


DELTA PETROLEUM: S&P Assigns 'CCC' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'CCC'
corporate credit and unsecured debt ratings to Delta Petroleum
Corp.  S&P also assigned its '4' recovery rating to the company's
$150 million unsecured notes due 2015 and $115 million senior
convertible notes.  The outlook is negative.

"S&P's ratings on Delta reflect the company's uneconomic cost
structure, a small reserve base that is almost entirely natural
gas, very aggressive leverage, and weak liquidity," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Marc D. Bromberg.  Although it recently
closed a $100 million credit facility maturing Jan. 31, 2012 (with
a $50 million initial commitment), which allowed Delta to satisfy
its previous $35 million revolver that was due this month, S&P
think it is unlikely that the company will be able to meet its
operating obligations throughout 2011.  S&P characterize Delta's
business profile as vulnerable and its financial risk profile as
highly leveraged.

Delta is a small exploration and production operator, with proved
reserves of 154 Bcfe (billion cubic feet equivalent).  A majority
of these reserves are in the Rocky Mountain region, where gas
differentials tend to be volatile.  S&P views the company's
breakeven cost structure to be very high and uneconomical, at more
than $11 per thousand cubic feet equivalent, including general and
administrative expenses of about $2.50, interest costs of about
$2.70, lifting costs of about $2.80, and three-year all-in finding
and development costs, excluding revisions, of $2.40 per mcfe.
When compared with Standard & Poor's long-term pricing assumption
of $5.00 per mcfe of natural gas, the viability of this structure
is doubtful.

The financial risk profile is highly leveraged.  Financial
measures lag those of peers, given Delta's high costs, substantial
debt leverage, and the expectation of continued funding
requirements.  Because of its high cost structure, S&P think the
company will outspend internally generated cash flow over the
next several quarters, at a similar range as the last several
($10 million to $30 million per quarter).  Debt as of Sept. 30,
2010, was $560 million, inclusive of operating leases and asset
retirement obligations.  S&P think that EBITDA in early 2011 will
be flat to slightly negative, with minimal capital expenditures
that limit internal production growth.  As a result, S&P envision
annualized debt to EBITDA that is little changed from about 30x
currently.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Delta will be
unable to meet near-term maturities, given its view that fixed
spending requirements will further erode liquidity.  S&P views
both asset sales and internally generated cash flow as unlikely
sources to meet spending needs.

A revision of the outlook to positive, which S&P considers
unlikely, would also depend on S&P's expectation that Delta can
reach a cost structure below its current expectation for Henry Hub
natural gas, which is $4.50 per mcf in 2011 and $5 in 2012 and
thereafter.


DOWNEY FINANCIAL: Bondholders Step Into Tax Refund Fight
--------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that Downey Financial
Corp. bondholders owed $200 million have moved to step into the
Debtor's fight with federal bank regulators over a $390 million
tax refund.

The Troubled Company Reporter, citing Bill Rochelle, the
bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, reported on November 2,
2010, that the bankruptcy trustee for Downey Financial sued the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., asking the bankruptcy court to
decide who's entitled to receive almost $400 million in federal
income tax refunds.  The FDIC was named receiver for Downey
Financial's savings bank unit when it was taken over.

According to Mr. Rochelle, the Chapter 7 trustee for Downey, which
didn't even try to reorganize in Chapter 11, argued that the
parent had the right under a tax-sharing agreement to file tax
returns for the bank subsidiary.  The trustee likewise argued that
any refunds paid by the IRS aren't held in trust for the bank,
even though losses at the bank created the right to refunds.

The Chapter 7 trustee, Mr. Rochelle said, believes that there is
nothing more than a debtor-creditor relationship between the
parent and the FDIC as receiver for the failed bank subsidiary.
Consequently, the trustee believes the FDIC is only an unsecured
creditor of the bankrupt parent.

According to the report, the IRS has already paid $17.5 million
which is being held in an escrow account under an interim
agreement between the trustee and the FDIC. The agreement
contemplates that a court will decide who's entitled to the
refund.  The trustee for the parent has filed refund claims for
another additional $373.8 million.

Downey Financial Corp. filed a Chapter 7 petition (Bankr. D. Del.
08-13041) on Nov. 25, 2008, after the Office of Thrift Supervision
closed its banking unit Downey Savings & Loan Association, F.A.,
on Nov. 21, 2008, and appointed the FDIC as receiver.  Montague S.
Claybrook serves as the Chapter 7 Trustee, and is represented by
William H. Stassen, Esq., at Fox Rothschild LLP.

As soon as the bank was taken over, the assets of the thrift
subsidiary were purchased by U.S. Bank NA in a transaction
assisted by the FDIC.  The Downey bank failure cost the FDIC
insurance fund $1.4 billion, the agency said at the time.

deep water drilling sector.  With Ocean Rig UDW's successful
private placement offering we have positioned Ocean Rig to be a
pure play in the ultra deepwater drilling sector with contracts
and a balance sheet that is self-sustaining.

ultra deepwater drillships, plus options to build another four,
and two ultra deep water semisubmersible drilling rigs,
representing one of the largest ultra deepwater fleets and only
pure play entity in the sector.

"The current environment for the ultra deepwater market has
improved from the summer low levels we experienced and we believe
that rates have turned a corner after bottoming in the third
quarter 2010.  We believe that the ultra deep water drilling
sector has strong fundamentals, as deepwater drilling is the most
viable source of new oil supplies.  There are positive signs of
discovery and long term potential in established and new areas
around the world."

EAGLE INDUSTRIES: Gets Final Nod to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Joan A. Lloyd of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Kentucky has authorized Eagle Industries, LLC,
and Eagle Transportation, LLC, to use on a final basis the cash
collateral of Citizens First Bank until February 24, 2011.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 9,
2010the Debtors sought and obtained the Court's interim
authorization to use the cash collateral.  Citizens First was
willing to let the Debtor use its cash collateral through
November 18, 2010.

From time to time prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor borrowed
money and received other financial accommodations from Citizens
First.  Citizens First was granted security interests and liens
on, among other things, all of the Debtor's accounts receivable,
inventory, equipment, certain trucks and trailers, chattel paper,
and general intangibles.  As of the Petition Date, the outstanding
Citizens First Pre-Petition Indebtedness was in excess of
$3,671,140.28.

David M. Cantor, Esq., at Seiller Waterman LLC, explained that the
Debtors need the money to fund their Chapter 11 case, pay
suppliers and other parties.  Citizens First is willing to permit
the Debtor to use its cash collateral through February 24, 2011.

The Debtors will maintain at Citizens First all of their debtor-
in-possession bank accounts and the Debtors will deposit into the
DIP Bank Accounts all proceeds of the Citizens First Pre-Petition
Collateral and the post-petition collateral.

Citizens First is granted first priority post-petition replacement
security interests and liens upon all of the post-petition
property of the Debtor that is similar to the property on which it
held its pre-petition liens.

In the event that the adequate protection granted to Citizens
First hereunder fails to adequately protect Citizens First's
interests in the cash collateral, the Citizens First Pre-Petition
Collateral and the post-petition collateral, Citizens First is
granted an administrative expense claim which.

In addition to all reports required under the Citizens First Loan
Documents, the Debtor shall provide Citizens First with: (i) all
reports and documents made available to this Court, the United
States Trustee, any officially appointed committee and any other
parties in interest; (ii) all financial records requested by

Tuesday, beginning November 23, 2010, a rolling 13 week cash
budget setting forth the Debtor's budgeted revenues and expenses

statements and projections; (iii) on each Tuesday, beginning
November 23, 2010, a report detailing the uses of cash by the
Debtor for the prior week in a form acceptable to Citizens First;
and (iv) on each Tuesday, November 23, 2010, an aging of all
accounts receivable by customer.

The Debtors will make these payments to Citizens First on these
dates and failure to make the payments on or before such dates
will automatically be a default under the Final Order:

EAGLES CREST: Asks for Court's Permission to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------------
Eagles Crest Leasing Group 1, LLC, asks for authorization from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Iowa to use
cash collateral until December 2011.

On February 16, 2005, the Debtor executed a certain promissory
note in the initial principal sum of $10.80 million in favor of
Bank of the West.  The Debtor also executed a certain commercial
security agreement, an assignment of rents, a construction
mortgage and other security agreements of February 16, 2005, that
are perfected by a financing statement filed with the Iowa
Secretary of State.  As of the Petition Date, the Debtor estimates
that the balance outstanding under the promissory note was
$10,980,609.40, plus all other costs and fees.

Jeffrey Goetz, Esq., at Bradshaw Fowler Proctor & Fairgrave, PC,
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/EAGLES_CREST_budget.pdf

The Debtor proposes to grant BOTW (i) a validly perfected first
priority lien on and security interest in all of the Debtor's
postpetition property and proceeds thereof; (ii) a superpriority
claim that will have priority in the Debtor's bankruptcy case over
all priority claims and unsecured claims against the Debtor and
its estate; (iii) replacement liens and security interests granted
to BOTW; and (iv) a claim having priority over all other
administrative expenses, in the event that the replacement liens
prove insufficient to enable BOTW to realize the amount of BOTW's
cash collateral.

The Debtor agrees to pay BOTW monthly adequate assurance payments
of interest only, at the rate of 4.25% per annum, and will be
applied in accordance with the loan documents.

Proceeds received from the sale of the collateral in the ordinary
course of business, and the collection of rents, accounts
receivable and profits, will be deposited in the DIP accounts.

By February 20, 2011, the Debtor will provide to BOTW an initial
aging of accounts receivable and accounts payable and a list of
inventory, plus total current operating expenses and total current
collections.  This report will be updated and provided to BOTW by
the 15th day of each month thereafter.

By February 20, 2011, the Debtor will prepare and provide BOTW a
balance sheet and income statement existing as of the filing date
of the Debtor's petition.  Within 20 days of each successive
month, the Debtor will provide an updated balance sheet and income
statement along with a copy of all monthly reports provided to the
Court and the U.S. Trustee.

All collateral will be insured to its full value, and the Debtor
will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of BOTW.

BOTW objects to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral,
saying that it "would dispute and disagree with the proposed
monthly adequate assurance of payments of interest only at the
rate of 4.25% per annum and would propose, as an alternative, that
a monthly payment of principal and interest at the current
contract rate of interest pursuant to the Promissory Note is a
more appropriate, fair and reasonable monthly adequate
assurance/adequate protection in favor of lender."

BOTW says that it would further require and request that the
Debtor, within ten days following any final ruling by the Court on
the Debtor's Cash Collateral Motion, will have executed and
delivered in favor of Lender all such documents as the Lender may
require to establish with the Lender a deposit account into which
the Debtor will deposit, on or before the 15th day of each month,
beginning on January 15, 2011, an amount equal to 1/12th of the
yearly taxes and assessments then levied against the Real Estate.

EMPIRE TOWERS: Asks for Permission to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
Empire Towers Corporation asks for authorization from the Hon.
James F. Schneider of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Maryland to use the cash collateral.

June 7, 2007, Empire Holdings Corporation executed a Promissory
Note Secured by Deed of Trust whereby Empire Holdings promised to
pay Wells Fargo Bank, NA, the sum of $14,560,000.  The Note was
guaranteed by a Repayment Guaranty executed by the Debtor, and the
Guaranty was secured, pursuant to an Indemnity Deed of Trust, by
certain real property owned by the Debtor located at 7300-7310
Ritchie Highway, Glen Burnie, MD 21061.  Wells Fargo assigned the
Loan Documents to LaSalle Bank National Association, and, in 2008,
LaSalle Bank National Association merged into Bank of America, NA.

Aryeh E. Stein, Esq., at Meridian Law, LLC, 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 is yet to be submitted.

The Debtor proposes to provide BOA, as adequate protection for the
use of cash collateral, a replacement lien on the Debtor's assets
to the extent of any diminution in value of BOA's interest in the
Debtor's pre-petition assets, if any.  As additional adequate
protection, BOA has a statutory grant of an administrative expense
priority claim.

The Debtor will segregate its cash collateral from all other cash
and shall maintain detailed records to account for all usage of
cash collateral.

The Court set a hearing for January 5, 2011, at 11:30 a.m. on the
Debtor's request for approval to use cash collateral.

EQUIPOWER RESOURCES: Moody's Puts 'Ba3' Rating on $525 Mil. Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba3 rating to EquiPower
Resources Holdings, LLC proposed $525 million in senior secured
credit facilities comprising of a $425 million 7-year term loan
and a $100 million 5-year senior secured working capital facility.
The rating outlook is stable.

                        Ratings Rationale

EquiPower is expected to own four gas fired power projects
totaling 1,792 MW and EquiPower is owned by private equity funds
managed by Energy Capital Partners and some of its co-investors.
The Projects consist of the 812 MW Lake Road and 548 MW Milford
projects in Connecticut and the 264 MW MassPower and 168 MW
Dighton projects in Massachusetts.  The Projects reached
commercial operation from 1993 to 2004.  Given the Projects'
location in ISO-NE market, the Projects benefit from the forward
capacity market.  EquiPower also has in place financial hedges for
approximately 61% of Lake Road's capacity, 89% of Dighton's
capacity, and 46% of Milford's capacity.  Power sales management
and hedging are expected to be performed by EquiPower Resources
Management.  EquiPower will self manage its operations and
maintenance for three of the four plants while EquiPower is
evaluating whether to retain Alstom as O&M operator or self manage
for the Milford plant.  Dighton, Lake Road and Milford have
existing long-term services agreements with Alstom and these
agreements mature roughly between from 2011 to 2015.  MassPower
does not have a LTSA.

The proceeds from the $425 million of term loan will be used to
fund the purchase of Milford, fund approximately $42.5 million in
sponsor distribution, fund a $25 million capex reserve and pay
approximately $17.5 million in fees and expenses.  Approximately
$17.8 million of the $100 million revolver will be used to issue a
debt service reserve letter of credit and $19.3 million will be
used to issue a letter of credit or other cash collateral to back
various obligations including a MassPower lease obligation and an
ICE account.

The Ba3 rating reflects approximately 80% of hedged gross margin
over the next three years, substantial equity investment by
EquiPower's sponsor leading to relatively low leverage around
$237/kw, operational diversification across four plants and the
competitiveness of Milford and Lake Road.  The rating also
considers 3-year average DSCR of 1.7x and FFO/Debt of 7% under
more conservative scenarios, imperfections in the financial
hedges, cash flow concentration at the Lake Road and Milford
projects that have had historical operating problems, and some
project finance weaknesses.

The Ba3 rating for EquiPower considers these credit strengths and
weaknesses:

                      Key Credit Strengths

* Approximately 80% of gross margin for the next 3-4 years are
  sourced from known FCM payments or financial hedges with
  strongly rated counterparties

* The four projects provide operational diversification across
  four plants and three different technologies

* The Projects benefit from capacity markets given their location
  in the ISO-NE market

* Milford and Lake Road have competitive heat rates and Milford
  has operated at or near baseload levels on a historical basis

* Substantial equity investment by EquiPower's sponsor contributes
  to relatively low leverage for the rating with debt to capital
  at 52% and debt equal to $237/kw

* Some project finance features including 6-month debt service
  reserve, capex reserve, security in assets, and 100% excess cash
  sweep.

                      Key Credit Weaknesses

* Exposure to volatile merchant energy and capacity prices
  significantly increase in 2014 and fully merchant by 2015

* The Projects' financial hedges have multiple imperfections
  (power and fuel basis differences, no allowance for outages, no
  pass through of carbon costs and no start charges)

* Forecasted cash flow generation remains concentrated with Lake
  Road providing roughly 50% of consolidated cash flow and Lake
  Road and Milford combined providing well over 90%.

* Lake Road and Milford have had a history of various operational
  problems and the Projects' forecast has aggressive operating
  assumptions compared to historical

* Dighton and MassPower's higher heat rates results in a peaker
  type operational profile that does not match their originally
  intended baseload operating profile, which could lead to
  operating problems

* Several project finance features are weak or lacking including
  ongoing major maintenance reserve, use of a collection account
  instead of a traditional cash flow waterfall and the ability to
  dividend a portion of the sale proceeds of Dighton or MassPower
  above specific sale price levels.

* Average cash flow metrics correspond to the 'B' category under
  Moody's methodology with around 6-7% FFO/Debt and 1.6-1.7 times
  DSCR under various conservative cases considered by Moody's
  compared to 12.6% FFO/Debt and 2.25 times DSCR under the base
  case.

EquiPower's stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation of
substantial debt amortization by debt maturity, improving
operations at Lake Road and Milford and financial metrics
commensurate with at least 7% FFO/Debt and 1.7 times DSCR even
under adverse scenarios.  The stable outlook also considers the
expectation that energy prices are likely to moderately improve
over time while capacity prices are expected to stay the same or
improve over time.

Limited prospects exist for a rating upgrade in the near term.
Over the longer term, positive trends that could lead to an
upgrade include greater than expected debt reduction and cash flow
credit metrics solidly in the 'Ba' category under Moody's
methodology.

The rating could be downgraded if the Projects incur operating
problems, if the Projects achieve financial metrics below
expectations or if EquiPower does not achieve forecasted debt
amortization levels.

The ratings are predicated upon final documentation in accordance
with Moody's current understanding of the transaction and final
debt sizing consistent with initially projected credit metrics and
cash flows.

EquiPower expects to own four gas fired power projects totaling
1,792 MW and EquiPower is owned by a private equity fund managed
by Energy Capital Partners and several of the funds co-investors.
The Projects consist of the 812 MW Lake Road and 548 MW Milford
projects in Connecticut and the 264 MW MassPower and 168 MW
Dighton projects in Massachusetts.  The Projects reached
commercial operation from 1993 to 2004.  Energy Capital Partners
manages private equity funds that invest in the power generation,
midstream gas, renewable energy, and electric transmission sectors
of North America's energy infrastructure.


EVERGREEN ENERGY: Appoints Khan as Chairman of the Board
--------------------------------------------------------
Evergreen Energy Inc. has appointed Ilyas Khan, 48, as Chairman of
its board of directors.  The appointment brings the total board
count to seven members.

Thomas H. Stoner, CEO of Evergreen, stated: "I am very excited to
welcome Ilyas to our board.  His significant expertise as financer
and business builder will be invaluable as we work towards
executing the company's strategic initiatives, particularly with
our K-Fuel(R) technology.  As one of the three founding directors
of White Energy Company Limited, a publically-traded, diversified
coal company, Ilyas was instrumental in driving growth from
inception through mid-2010.  He has intimate familiarity with the
clean coal and coal upgrading sector, and in identifying and
overcoming the challenges of commercialization, which include
large scale engineering issues related to building a successful
plant as well as negotiating with large commercial partners."

Khan stated: "I am excited to be joining Evergreen's board as
Chairman, and I look forward to working with management to execute
on its key milestones with respect to K-Fuel in particular where
the opportunity is global in nature.  I am also very much
motivated by the prospect of leading the effort to capture the
undoubted potential that the company possesses."

A financier by background, Mr. Khan lived and worked in Hong Kong
since 1989 before moving back to his home in the United Kingdom in
early 2009.  He started his career with J Henry Schroder Wagg in
1984 in London, and worked as an investment banker through 1998 at
Citigroup (1987 to 1993), UBS (1993 to 1996) and Nomura (1996 to
1998).  In 1998 he founded the TW Indus Group, an investment
holding company, which acquired Crosby Capital in 2003. Since
2003, Mr. Khan has served, initially as Chairman and CEO, and
latterly as a strategic advisor to Crosby Capital Partners, a
privately held Asian-based merchant banking group focusing on
natural resources with a particular track record in coal, gold and
copper.  In 2008, Mr. Khan was the founding Chairman of privately
held Touchstone Gold Holdings, where he remains as a director.
Mr. Khan is the major shareholder of Touchstone Gold.

Beginning in 2000, he served as one of the three founding
directors of Australian-based White Energy Company Limited
(WEC.AX), which developed built and operated plants that upgraded
coal in a variety of locations.  After WEC diversified into the
direct ownership of coal assets, and as Mr. Khan re-located back
to live in the United Kingdom, he stepped off the board in mid-
2010.

Since June 2009, Mr. Khan has been a trustee and, since September
2009, the Chairman of Leonard Cheshire Disability, a UK-based
charity with active operations in over 50 countries and a focus on
supporting and caring for disabled people.  Leonard Cheshire
Disability was established in 1948 and is the world's largest NGO
that focuses on disability.  Mr. Khan holds a B.A. Hons -- honors
degree -- from the University of London's School of Oriental and
African Studies.

FANNIE MAE: BofA to Buy Back Bad Loans from Fannie, Freddie
-----------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that Bank of America Corp.
expects to take a provision of about $3 billion in the fourth
quarter to buy back bad loans from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that
were issued by its troubled Countrywide Financial unit.

                         About Fannie Mae

Federal National Mortgage Association, aka Fannie Mae, is a
government-sponsored enterprise that was chartered by U.S.
Congress in 1938 to support liquidity, stability and affordability
in the secondary mortgage market, where existing mortgage-related
assets are purchased and sold.

Fannie Mae has been under conservatorship, with the Federal
Housing Finance Agency acting as conservator, since September 6,
2008.  As conservator, FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles,
powers and privileges of the company, and of any shareholder,
officer or director of the company with respect to the company and
its assets.  The conservator has since delegated specified
authorities to Fannie Mae's Board of Directors and has delegated
to management the authority to conduct day-to-day operations.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury owns Fannie Mae's senior
preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 79.9% of its common
stock, and Treasury has made a commitment under a senior preferred
stock purchase agreement to provide Fannie with funds under
specified conditions to maintain a positive net worth.


FANNIE MAE: Inks Pact With BoA to Address Repurchase Requests
-------------------------------------------------------------
On December 31, 2010, Fannie Mae entered into an agreement with
Bank of America, N.A., BAC Home Loans Servicing LP, and
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., each of which is an affiliate of
Bank of America Corporation.  The agreement addresses outstanding
repurchase requests on loans with an unpaid principal balance of
approximately $3.9 billion delivered to Fannie Mae by affiliates
of Countrywide Financial Corporation.  Bank of America Corporation
merged with Countrywide in 2008.

Under the agreement, Bank of America agreed, among other things,
to a resolution amount of approximately $1.52 billion, consisting
of a cash payment of $1.34 billion made by Bank of America on
December 31, 2010 and credits for payments recently made or to be
made by Bank of America.

The agreement:

   -- substantially resolves outstanding repurchase requests on
      12,045 loans sold to the Compay by Countrywide; and

   -- addresses 5,760 other loans sold to the Company by
      Countrywide and permits the Company to bring claims for any
      additional breaches of its representations and warranties
      that are identified with respect to those loans.

The Company's mortgage seller/servicers are obligated to
repurchase loans or foreclosed properties, or reimburse the
Company for losses if the foreclosed property has been sold, if
the mortgage loans do not meet the Company's underwriting,
eligibility or other requirements.

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 55% of the Company's $7.7
billion in outstanding repurchase requests to all its mortgage
seller/servicers, as measured by unpaid principal balance, had
been made to Bank of America.  This agreement addresses
approximately 44% of the Company's $7.7 billion in outstanding
repurchase requests as of September 30, 2010.  These amounts do
not include amounts relating to repurchase requests originating
from missing documentation or loan files.

The Company continues to work with Bank of America to resolve its
outstanding repurchase requests to Bank of America, including
requests relating to loans delivered to the Company by Bank of
America, N.A.

                         About Fannie Mae

Federal National Mortgage Association, aka Fannie Mae, is a
government-sponsored enterprise that was chartered by U.S.
Congress in 1938 to support liquidity, stability and affordability

FIDDLER'S CREEK: Retains Exclusivity for Filing Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Fiddler's Creek LLC warded off an effort by the
official committee of unsecured creditors and secured lender
Colonnade Naples Land LLC to end the exclusive right to propose a
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.  The bankruptcy judge signed an
order on Jan. 3 denying Colonnade's motion to terminate
exclusivity.

Mr. Rochelle relates that just as exclusivity was ending on
Dec. 3, Fiddler's Creek filed separate plans for itself and its
27 affiliates.  Before the plans were filed, Colonnade, owed
$52.6 million, sought to end exclusivity.  Colonnade had called
Fiddler's Creek a "horizontal fractured real estate project."  The
lender said there was almost no income while Fiddler's Creek had
consumed $6.5 million in secured financing provided by an
affiliate which received a lien prior to existing debt.

                       About Fiddler's Creek

Fiddler's Creek, LLC, and its affiliates each owns, operates or is
otherwise affiliated with the premier, fully integrated, master
planned residential community known as "Fiddler's Creek" in
southwestern Florida.  Fiddler's Creek is located in Collier
County, Florida, approximately 12 miles southeast of the city of
Naples and six miles north of Marco Island.  The Fiddler's Creek
development is comprised of nearly 4,000 zoned acres of prime land
in Naples, Florida, and is planned for and capable of
accommodating up to 6,000 residences upon projected build-out,
which is estimated to be in 2020.  Fiddler's Creek contains five
distinctive neighborhoods known as: Fiddler's Creek, Veneta,
Aviamar, Marsh Cove and Meadow Run.

Fiddler's Creek filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
February 23, 2010 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 10-03846).  Paul J.
Battista, Esq., at Genovese Joblove & Battista, P.A., serves as
general bankruptcy counsel.  Judge Alexander L. Paskay presides
over the case.  The Company estimated assets and debts at
$100 million to $500 million.


FIRST BANCORP: Discloses 1-For-15 Reverse Stock Split
-----------------------------------------------------
First BanCorp disclosed that, effective as of 12:01 a.m.
January 7, 2011, it is implementing a one-for-fifteen reverse
stock split of all outstanding shares of its common stock.

At the Corporation's Special Meeting of Stockholders held on
August 24, 2010, shareholders approved an amendment to the
Corporation's Restated Articles of Incorporation to implement a
reverse stock split at a ratio, to be determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion, within the range of one new
share of common stock for 10 old shares and one new share for 20
old shares.  As authorized, the Board has elected to effect a
reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-fifteen.

"We appreciate the support of our stockholders in granting our
board the authority to effect a reverse stock split.  After a
thorough consideration of our options, the board determined that a
reverse stock split of the Corporation's common shares is in the
best interest of stockholders," commented Aurelio Aleman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of First BanCorp.  "A
reverse stock split better positions the Corporation to accomplish
its capital strategies and regain compliance with the NYSE listing
rules."

The one-for-fifteen reverse stock split automatically converts
fifteen old shares of the Corporation's common stock into one new
share of common stock, and reduces the number of outstanding
shares of common stock from approximately 320 million shares to
approximately 21 million shares of common stock.  The Corporation
will not issue fractional shares in connection with the reverse
stock split.  For cases in which the reverse stock split results
in any stockholder holding fractional shares, the stockholder will
receive a cash payment (without interest) in lieu of such
fractional shares.  All outstanding options, warrants or other
rights convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock
will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms to
account for the one-for-fifteen reverse stock split.  The amount
of authorized shares of common stock will not change as a result
of the reverse stock split.

The Corporation's common stock will begin trading on a post-
reverse stock split basis when the market opens on Friday,
January 7, 2011, and will continue to trade on the NYSE under the
symbol "FBP."  Stockholders holding physical share certificates
will receive instructions as to how to exchange existing share
certificates for new certificates representing the post-reverse
stock split shares.  BNY Mellon Shareowner Services is serving as
the Corporation's Exchange Agent in connection with the reverse
stock split.

                      About First BanCorp

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
November 29, 2010, Fitch Ratings has removed from Rating Watch
Negative and downgraded the long-term Issuer Default Ratings of
First BanCorp and its main subsidiary, Firstbank Puerto Rico to
'CC'.

Fitch noted in November 2010 that FBP announced a series of
initiatives to bolster its balance sheet.  These mainly entail
improving the common equity component of its overall
capitalization.  FBP's capital strategies encompass
three actions: 1) the conversion of the company's US$550 million
perpetual preferred stock which was completed on Aug. 30, 2010;
2) raising additional common stock of up to US$500 million, which
is presently ongoing; and 3) the conversion of the U.S. Treasury's
Capital Purchase Program preferred shares, which is contingent
upon the raising the additional equity.  Taken together, and if
successful, FBP estimates that pro forma tangible common equity
ratio will increase to 10%.

The rating actions primarily reflects Fitch's view that the
capital strategies First Bancorp has pursued are necessitated by
its weakened financial condition and reflective of heightened
credit risk compared to historical performance.


FREDDIE MAC: BofA to Buy Back Bad Loans from Fannie, Freddie
------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that Bank of America Corp.
expects to take a provision of about $3 billion in the fourth
quarter to buy back bad loans from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that
were issued by its troubled Countrywide Financial unit.

                     About Freddie Mac

Based in McLean, Virginia, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, known as Freddie Mac (OTCBB: FMCC) --
http://www.FreddieMac.com/-- was established by Congress in
1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the
nation's residential mortgage markets.  Freddie Mac supports
communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to
lenders.  Over the years, Freddie Mac has made home possible for
one in six homebuyers and more than five million renters.

Freddie Mac is under conservatorship and is dependent upon the
continued support of Treasury and FHFA to continue operating its
business.  The Company received $6.1 billion and $30.8 billion in
June 2009 and March 2009, respectively, pursuant to draw requests
that FHFA submitted to Treasury on the Company's behalf to address
the deficits in the Company's net worth as of March 31, 2009, and
December 31, 2008, respectively.  As a result of funding of the
draw requests, the aggregate liquidation preference on the senior
preferred stock owned by Treasury increased from $14.8 billion as
of December 31, 2008, to $51.7 billion on December 31, 2009.

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


FREDDIE MAC: Receives $1.28 Billion Under Agreement With BoA
------------------------------------------------------------
On December 31, 2010, Freddie Mac entered into an agreement with
Bank of America, National Association, and two of its affiliates,
BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., to
resolve currently outstanding and future claims by Freddie Mac for
repurchases arising from the breach of certain selling
representations and warranties on certain loans purchased by
Freddie Mac from Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and Countrywide Bank
FSB.

Under the terms of the agreement, Freddie Mac has received a $1.28
billion cash payment, in consideration for releasing Bank of
America and its two affiliates from existing and future repurchase
claims arising from the sale to Freddie Mac by the Countrywide
entities of loans for which the first regularly scheduled monthly
payments were due on or before December 31, 2008.  The unpaid
principal balance of the loans in this portfolio, as reflected on
Freddie Mac's books at November 30, 2010, was approximately $117
billion.  The agreement applies only to certain claims for
repurchase based on breaches of representations and warranties and
the agreement contains specified limitations.  The agreement does
not cover loans sold to Freddie Mac or serviced for Freddie Mac by
other Bank of America entities.

The Company does not anticipate that the agreement will have a
material impact on its 2010 financial statements.

                         About Freddie Mac

Based in McLean, Virginia, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, known as Freddie Mac (OTCBB: FMCC) --
http://www.FreddieMac.com/-- was established by Congress in
1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the
nation's residential mortgage markets.  Freddie Mac supports
communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to
lenders.  Over the years, Freddie Mac has made home possible for
one in six homebuyers and more than five million renters.

Freddie Mac is under conservatorship and is dependent upon the
continued support of Treasury and FHFA to continue operating its
business.  The Company received $6.1 billion and $30.8 billion in
June 2009 and March 2009, respectively, pursuant to draw requests
that FHFA submitted to Treasury on the Company's behalf to address
the deficits in the Company's net worth as of March 31, 2009, and
December 31, 2008, respectively.  As a result of funding of the
draw requests, the aggregate liquidation preference on the senior
preferred stock owned by Treasury increased from $14.8 billion as
of December 31, 2008, to $51.7 billion on December 31, 2009.


GALP CNA: Can Use Centrum Cash Collateral Until January 31
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas
entered, on December 29, 2010, its first interim order authorizing
GALP CNA Limited Partnership, Wentwood Woodside I, L.P., Wentwood
Roundhill I, L.P., Wentwood Rollingbrook, L.P., and GALP Cypress
Limited Partnership, by consent of the cash collateral mortgagee,
Centrum Financial Services, Inc., to use cash collateral, to pay
necessary operating expenses and ongoing obligations as set forth
in a Budget for each Debtor.

As of the petition date, each of the Debtors owed Centrum these
indebtedness based on the original Centrum indebtedness for each
of the Debtors:

    $3,769,371.20 - owed by GALP CNA
    $6,477,207.32 - owed by Wentwood Woodside
    $5,827,331.34 - owed by Wentwood Roundhill
    $5,125,610.31 - owed by Wentwood Rollingbrook
   $10,147,432.60 - aggregate amount owed by GALP Cypress to
                    Centrum/Equity Funding

The Debtor's prepetition obligations are secured by Deeds of Trust
in various real properties located in Harris County, Texas and
Assignments of Rents and Leases on the respective Apartment units.

Each of the Debtors' right to use cash collateral will terminate,
unless earlier terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified
termination events, on the date of a final hearing on the cash
collateral motion, or January 31, 2011, whichever comes first.

Each of the Debtors has offered, as adequate protection of the
interest of Centrum in the cash collateral, replacement liens on
their respective post-petition assets.

To secure Centrum for the use of its cash collateral, the Court
ordered each of the Debtors to make adequate protection payments
to Centrum in various amounts for the months of November, 2010,
December, 2010, and January, 2011.

All payments to Centrum will be applied only to prepetition
interest.

As further adequate protection, Centrum is granted an
administrative priority claim pursuant to Section 507(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code to secure any diminution in the value of its cash
collateral.

A further cash collateral hearing on the cash collateral motions
will be held on January 21, 2011, at 2:30 p.m., in Courtroom 600,
6th Floor, United States Courthouse, 515 Rusk Avenue, in Houston.

GARNET BIOTHERAPEUTICS: Seeks to Tap Loan to Fund Operations
------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that venture-backed Garnet
BioTherapeutics Inc. will appear in bankruptcy court to seek
permission to tap financing that it says will ensure its continued
operations as it restructures.

According to the report, Judge Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., will consider allowing
Garnet to continue to draw on an existing $800,000 line of credit
from lender Silicon Valley Bank.  The report relates that the
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pointed out it that it
doesn't generate revenue and has no other available funds to allow
it to cover the cost of its ongoing operations.

"Absent approval of post-petition financing, the debtor will be
forced to cease all operations, the debtor will be unable [to]
continue to develop its technology, and the potential commercial
value of all the developments made to date will be lost," Garnet
said in court papers, the report notes.

Malvern, Pennsylvania-based 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

----------------------------------------------------------

judge in Fort Lauderdale approved the liquidation plan on Dec. 17,
2010, Business Journal relates.

According to Business Journal, the deal received the blessing of
the three major secured creditors -- Wells Fargo, SL Financial and
Bank Midwest -- which had $62.4 million in secured claims.

The Company is moving to its new headquarters at 777 S. Andrews

Beach, Florida.  The Company made a voluntary Chapter 11 filing in

GENERAL MOTORS: Committee Proposes Morris Nichols as Del. Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
cases of Motors Liquidation Co., formerly General Motors Corp.,
and its affiliates seeks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York's permission to retain Morris,
Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP as its Delaware local counsel, nunc
pro tunc to November 16, 2010.

In October 2010, certain asbestos trusts commenced a series of
related actions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware, styled as ACandS Asbestos Settlement Trust, et al., v.
Hartford Accident and Indemnity Co., in these asbestos-related
bankruptcy cases pending before Honorable Judith K. Fitzgerald of
the Delaware Bankruptcy Court:

  * ACandS, Inc.
  * Specialty Products Holding Corp.
  * Kaiser Aluminum Corp.
  * Owens Corning
  * USG Corporation

In connection with responding to the trusts' motions for
preliminary injunction and intervening in the Delaware
Proceedings, the Creditors' Committee retained Morris Nichols as
its Delaware co-counsel as required by Rule 9010-1 of the Local
Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware

As the Committee's Delaware local counsel, Morris Nichols will:

  (a) assist the Committee in preparing filings as was necessary
      in furtherance of the Creditors' Committee's interests and
      objectives;

  (b) represent the Creditors' Committee at certain hearings
      and other proceedings in Delaware; and

  (c) perform other legal services as may be required and are
      deemed to be in the interests of the Creditors' Committee
      in accordance with the Creditors' Committee's powers and
      duties as set forth in the Bankruptcy Code.

Morris Nichols' professionals will be paid according to their
customary hourly rates:

      Title                         Rate per Hour
      -----                         -------------
      Partners                       $475 to $750
      Associates                     $270 to $470
      Paraprofessionals              $195 to $250
      Case Clerks                       $130

Morris Nichols will also be reimbursed for expenses incurred.

Gregory W. Werkheiser, Esq., a member of Morris Nichols --
gwerkheiser@mnat.com -- discloses that his firm serves as counsel
to certain entities on matters unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter
11 cases, a list of which is available for free at:

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

Mr. Werkheiser also relates that Morris Nichols represented
certain parties on matters unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter 11
cases since January 1, 2007, a list of which is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/GM_MorrisFormerClients.pdf

In connection with the Delaware Proceedings, Morris Nichols has
also been retained, subject to approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of North Carolina, by Garlock
Sealing Technologies, LLC, which was named a defendant in those
proceedings, Mr. Werkheiser states.  He believes that Garlock's
interests are aligned with the Creditors' Committee's in the
Delaware Proceedings, and, thus, this representation does not
represent an interest adverse to the Committee.

Accordingly, Morris Nichols is a "disinterested person" as the
term is defined by Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, Mr.
Werkheiser maintains.

GENERAL MOTORS: Utah Ct. Rules on Trademark Suit v. Urban Gorilla
-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Company, v. Urban Gorilla, LLC, a Utah limited
liability company, Case No. 06-CV-00133 (D. Utah), seeks
injunctive relief against Urban Gorilla for various trademark and
trade dress infringement and dilution claims under the United
States Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. Secs. 1114(1), 1125(a) and
1125(c), and trademark infringement at common law.  GM asserts
that Urban Gorilla's "body kits" and marketing related to the kits
infringe upon and dilute GM's Hummer trademarks and trade dress.
Urban Gorilla responds that the defenses of laches and
acquiescence bar injunctive relief and the awarding of costs and
attorney's fees.  Counterclaims by Urban Gorilla were dismissed
upon the stipulation of counsel.

In his December 27, 2010 Memorandum Opinion, Senior District Judge
Bruce S. Jenkins held that (1) the 2006 amendments to 15 U.S.C.

GENERAL MOTORS: Dist. Court Moves Mendoza Suit vs. New GM
---------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Judge Robert J. Ward of the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York's Standing Order of Referral
Cases to Bankruptcy Judges of the District Court for the Southern
District of New York dated July 19, 1984, a civil action filed by
Rodolfo Fidel Mendoza against General Motors LLC ("New GM") is
transferred to Judge Robert E. Gerber of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York.

The civil action was filed by Mr. Mendoza for himself and on
behalf of all similarly situated persons who purchased and leased
certain defective sports utility vehicles manufactured by New GM.

The Civil Action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California Western Division and subsequently
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York.

In a December 17, 2010 order, Judge P. Kevin Castel of the New
York District Court referred the Civil Action to the Bankruptcy
Court.  Judge Castel also directed the Clerk of the New York
District Court to close the Civil Action in the New York District
Court.

As set forth in New GM's motion to dismiss the Civil Action filed
with the California District Court, counsel to New GM, Gregory R.
Oxford, Esq., at Isaacs Clouse Crose & Oxford LLP, in Torrance,
California -- goxford@icclawfirm.com -- asserted that the
California District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.  He
insisted that the Bankruptcy Court is in any event the proper
tribunal for interpreting and enforcing its order approving the
sale between General Motors Corp. and New GM and protection New GM
from claims as those asserted in the Civil Action.

The Civil Action will be heard in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases as
an adversary proceeding.

GLOUCESTER ENGINEERING: Blue Wolf Is Majority Owner Post Ch. 11
---------------------------------------------------------------
Blue Wolf Capital Partners LLC disclosed that following the exit
of Gloucester Engineering Company (GEC) from Chapter 11
protection, Blue Wolf Capital Fund II is now GEC's majority equity
shareholder.

GEC, based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, is one of the leading
providers of equipment for the plastics extrusion and converting
industry. The company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection
in June, 2010 and emerged on December 31.  GEC's European
subsidiary, Gloucester Engineering Europe GmbH, exited bankruptcy
protection on November 12, 2010.  In recent months the company has
received more than nine significant orders totaling $12 million
from customers in the U.S., Malaysia, Germany, India, Mexico and
Taiwan.

GEC has made tremendous progress in the past 18 months," said
Michael Ranson, Partner at Blue Wolf Capital. "When we first heard
of this situation, GEC was mothballed and facing liquidation.
Working closely with GEC, we helped restructure the company and
today it is on track for a future of solid performance as an
innovative American manufacturer.  Blue Wolf is deeply committed
to GEC's continued success."

Blue Wolf, which made an initial investment in GEC in May, 2010 as
a secured lender, will have majority representation on the
company's Board.

We are pleased to bring this great company into our portfolio,"
said Adam Blumenthal, Managing Partner of Blue Wolf. "This
transformation from troubled company to promising industry leader
exemplifies Blue Wolf's ability to recognize value in situations
with complex problems and multiple constituencies.  We are proud
to have worked closely with GEC's management and with the
International Association of Machinists to resolve many of the
company's difficulties and provide the best possible outcomes for
all stakeholders.  We believe GEC has a bright future."

Ranson also noted that GEC is starting the New Year with an
expanded workforce, resumption of its R&D activities, and a
rededication to its joint venture in India, which received a large
new order for a 5 Layer 2200 mm film line last month.

                  About Gloucester Engineering Co.

Since its inception in 1961, Gloucester Engineering Company has
been a global leader in advancing quality and production limits in
the plastics extrusion and converting market.  GEC offers a range
of innovative system and component solutions, for both new lines
and retrofits, that provide customers a competitive edge in
applications that include bag making, foam and sheet extrusion,
blown and cast film extrusion, and extrusion coating.

GEC manufactures its equipment from its headquarters in
Gloucester, MA, USA and through its joint-venture company in
Damman, India, Kabra Gloucester Engineering.

Gloucester Engineering's Chapter 7 case -- filed on March 23, 2010
-- was converted to Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 25,
2010 (Bankr. D. Mass. Case No. 10-12967).

Gloucester Engineering Europe GmbH is the Vienna-based subsidiary
of Gloucester Engineering Co.  In August 2010, creditors of
Gloucester Engineering Europe voted to accept a settlement offer
from the Gloucester, Massachusetts-based parent company to pay 30%
of the money owed them, or about EUR360,000 (US$503,000).


GREDE FOUNDRIES: SAP Software Contract Can't Be Splintered
----------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that a Chapter 11 debtor that had entered into a
software licensing and maintenance agreement with a party that
owned the software could not reject the maintenance schedule and
retain the benefit of the remainder of the contract.  Pursuant to
the express terms of the parties' contract, the software license
agreement, maintenance schedule, and appendices were incorporated
into one "complete and exclusive" agreement, and were thus not
severable under Pennsylvania law.  While the maintenance schedule
did allow for cessation of maintenance services only, the contract
contained a cross-default provision, indicating that maintenance
services could not be terminated if the debtor still owed money
under the licensing agreement.  In re Grede Foundries, Inc., ---
B.R. ----, 2010 WL 3306880 (Bankr. W.D. Wis.)

Grede Foundries, Inc., moved to reject a software maintenance
contract with SAP America.  SAP America opposed the rejection,
contending that the maintenance agreement was inseparable from
other, related agreements that had to be accepted or rejected in
toto.  After a hearing, the Honorable Robert D. Martin took the
matter under advisement.  Judge Martin denied Grede's bid to
reject part of the contract but granted Grede's alternative
request to walk away from the entire contract.  A copy of Judge
Martin's Memorandum Decision dated Aug. 20, 2010, is available at
http://is.gd/k9qrJfrom Leagle.com.

                    About Grede Foundries

Based in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, Grede Foundries, Inc. --

HARRISBURG, PA: City Workers Again Face Risk of Going Unpaid
------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that employees in the distressed
capital city Harrisburg, Pa., once again find their paychecks this
week in jeopardy -- this time because of a disagreement over
protocol.

City Controller Dan Miller is barring the release of paychecks due
Thursday for the city's 543 workers because the 2011 budget hasn't
been enacted, according Dow Jones'.

"Without a budget, we can't pay bills," the report quoted Mr.
Miller as saying.

Chuck Ardo, spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, said the
administration believes paychecks should be released since the pay
period is for 2010 and added that discussions are ongoing to
resolve the dispute, Dow Jones' notes.

"It's not a matter of finding the funding," the report quoted Mr.
Ardo as saying.  "It's a matter of appropriate bookkeeping."
Miller said he would release the paychecks if he receives
confirmation that the five council members who voted for the
budget would also vote to override a possible veto by the mayor.
Thompson hasn't yet received the 2011 budget the council passed,
Mr. Ardo said, the report notes.

                      About Harrisburg, PA

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

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

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

In November 2010, the city council tapped Cravath, Swaine and
Moore LLP as debt restructuring advisors.  Cravath is working on
"pro bono" basis.


HARRISBURG, PA: Officials Begin Financial Audit for 2009
--------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones Newswires' Romy Varghese reported last week that
officials in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, have started working on the
city's financial audit -- for 2009.  Mr. Varghese says a city
spokesman blamed personnel cutbacks for the delay.

Mr. Varghese notes Harrisburg completed its 2008 audit -- known as
the CAFR, or comprehensive annual financial report -- a full 51
weeks after the year ended.

Mr. Varghese says the tardiness can further inhibit the city's
access to grants and loans.  He points out the U.S. Department of
Justice has already barred Harrisburg from spending new grants
because of insufficient information on how it spent previous
grants from the department.

According to Mr. Varghese, Eric Friedland, Fitch Ratings' group
credit officer for U.S. public finance, commented on the impact of
late audits on municipal issuers, saying, "That's going to hurt
their credit quality and their ability to access credit markets
for sure."

Mr. Varghese also relates late disclosure by municipal bond
issuers has been a long-standing problem for the muni market.  A
recent report by Merritt Research Services said muni audits take
about five months to be completed.

Mr. Varghese also notes that Maher Duessel, which audited the 2008
report, flagged "significant deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting," citing insufficient monitoring of federal
housing and community development loans.

Dow Jones relates Chuck Ardo, spokesperson for Mayor Linda
Thompson, said the mayor is concerned about the 2009 financial
audit being so late.

Dow Jones also reports that Jamie Yates, a spokeswoman for
Pennsylvania's Community and Economic Development Department, said
two officials from that agency are also "helping to facilitate
conversations with the city to find a way to get the audit done."
The department recently accepted Harrisburg into its oversight
program for distressed cities and will appoint a coordinator to
draft a recovery plan.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on December 28, 2010,
Charles Thompson, writing for The Patriot-News, said the
Harrisburg Authority has voted unanimously to hire the accounting
firm of ParenteBeard to lead a forensic audit of the steps that
led to the accumulation of nearly $300 million in debt on its
Harrisburg Incinerator.  The firm will partner with special
counsel Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg, which was hired to
provide advice on production of documents, interviews and other
legal issues that could arise.

According to Patriot-News, no time line was set for completion of
the audit report.  Mr. Cluck, according to the report, said the
audit will kick off in earnest early in January with a discussion
aimed at refining the scope of the investigation.

HENDRICKS FURNITURE: To Start GOB Sales for 2 Remaining Stores
--------------------------------------------------------------
Larry Thomas at Furniture Today reports that Hendricks Furniture
Group, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
March, has announced it will begin going-out-of-business sales at
its two remaining stores on January 6.

Furniture Today relates the parent company of Boyles Furniture and
Rugs said it has hired Great American Furniture Services to assist
with the wind-down of the retail chain and the sale of remaining
inventory.

The Boyles stores in High Point and Pineville, N.C., were closed
over the New Year's holiday weekend to prepare for the GOB sales,
which will begin Thursday, January 6, Furniture Today says.

"Boyles has been an institution for over 60 years in the community
and we are pleased to have been selected to assist with the
closing promotion," Furniture Today quoted Susan Bankston, vice
president of marketing for Great American, as saying.

Furniture Today notes that the upscale retailer didn't provide
sales projections for the event, and the length of the liquidation
sale wasn't immediately available.

HOME SMART: Commences Going-out-of-Business Sale
------------------------------------------------
Home Smart Furniture is going out of business and will soon close
its doors, according to a statement released via EIN Presswire.
"The Home Smart Furniture going-out-of-business total liquidation
will begin on January 1st," said Randy Gonigam, owner of the
business.  "We have reductions of up to 75% on every item in the
store from such well-known manufacturers as Lane, Ashley,
Englander, American, Home Elegance and many others.  Over $2
million at cost will be sold as quickly as possible at the lowest
prices in the store's history." Gonigam continues, "Every item in
the Home Smart multi-million dollar inventory will be sold,
regardless of cost . . . This is a wall-to-wall total
liquidation," Mr. Gonigam added.

The decision to close the store was made by Mr. Gonigam, who has
revealed plans for a major store closing event that will take
place in the coming weeks.  In announcing the store closing, Mr.
Gonigam stated, "The decision to close the store has been a
difficult one. We have enjoyed being part of the neighborhood in
Aurora but there comes a time to move on, given the current
economic conditions; while we can still offer our customers the
quality merchandise and service we're known for," said Gonigam. He
went on to assure current customers that Home Smart will take care
of all existing customers needs.

According to Mr. Gonigam, the total liquidation event will allow
them and their employees one final chance to serve area residents
and to say thanks.  Mr. Gonigam said, "We have been so gratified
by the wonderful support our customers have given us. That's why
we've decided to have a major going-out-of-business total
liquidation and offer our customers price reductions unlike any
we've ever had in the store's history. This event will give the
area residents the opportunity to own fine home furnishings at
once-in-a-lifetime savings, and it will be our way of saying,
'thanks'."

Founded by Randy Gonigam, Home Smart Furniture has provided
hundreds of families with fine home furnishings and earned a
reputation for attentive service, low prices, and dedication to
their customers.

INN AT SCOTTS VALLEY: Hotel Foreclosure Sale Set for Jan. 18
------------------------------------------------------------
Jondi Gumz, writing for the Santa Cruz Sentinel, reports that the
Scotts Valley Hilton hotel scheduled for foreclosure sale on
January 18.  The report says The Inn at Scotts Valley LLC, the
owners of the 187-room hotel, owe the lenders $16.8 million.  The
Sentinel relates that a default notice filed with the county
indicates $1.2 million was owed as of mid-July.

The Scotts Valley hotel, which features a mountain chateau facade,
opened in 1999 at 6001 La Madrona Drive, became affiliated with
Hilton in 2001, and reported 46 employees in its most recent
business license.

Inn at Scotts Valley obtained a $17 million loan in 2005 from
German American Capital Corp., a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank.  The
Sentinel relates that before the year ended, the loan had been
packaged with others into commercial mortgage securities -- 2005-
CD1 Commercial Pass Through Certificates -- and sold to investors.
In July 2010, Bank of America took over the job of distributing
payments.

The report says attempts to reach the owners and Derek Smith, the
attorney listed in the loan document, were unsuccessful.

--------------------------------------------------------
On December 31, 2010, Lexicon United Incorporated and Pathworks
PCO of Florida, Inc., and the former shareholders of Pathworks-
Florida -- Pathworks Corporation, James Grimwade and Chesscom
Technologies, Inc. -- executed a Share Exchange and Settlement
Agreement, the purpose of which was to unwind and terminate the
previously completed merger of Pathworks-Florida into the Company.
Thereafter, Pathworks-Florida ceased to be a subsidiary of the
Company and will continue to operate and an independent entity
unrelated to the Company.

On October 21, 2010, the Company completed a merger transaction

issued an aggregate of 8,715,000 Company shares to the former
shareholders of Pathworks-Florida.  Pursuant to the SEA, each of
the Pathworks Shareholders transferred to the Company all of its
shares of Company Stock issued in connection with the Merger in
exchange for its pro-rata share of 100% of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Pathworks-Florida.

In connection with the SEA, the parties further agreed that:

   (a) Pathworks-Florida and each of the Pathworks Shareholders
       shall jointly and severally indemnify the Company and hold
       it harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law in
       connection with (a) any liability for any expenses
       associated with either the Heron's Glen or Huntington Lakes
       project; (b) the defense or settlement of any claim if the
       Company becomes a party to or is threatened to be made a
       party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceeding or
       administrative action related to the contracts between
       Pathworks-Florida and either Heron's Glen or Huntington
       Lakes.

   (b) The Company shall indemnify James Grimwade and hold him
       harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law if he
       becomes a party to or is threatened to be made a party to
       or otherwise involved in any legal proceeding or
       administrative action related to any claims incurred by
       him in his capacity as a director of the Company in
       connection with the defense or settlement of any such
       claim.

   (c) Unless such obligation is a specific subject of the SEA,
       all contractual obligations of the Company with respect to
       the affairs or operations of Pathworks-Florida shall be
       deemed to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date
       and there shall be no residual liability whatsoever on the
       part of the Company with respect thereto following the
       Closing Date.  Any such contractual obligations of the
       Company shall be deemed to be assigned to and assumed by
       the Pathworks Shareholders and Pathworks-Florida effective
       the Closing Date without the Company retaining any residual
       liability with respect thereto.

   (d) Effective the Closing Date, the Company unilaterally
       terminates that certain Agreement by and between the
       Company and Pathworks Corporation dated as of October 12,
       2010 which provided the Company the right to cure any
       default on the Master Agreement between Pathworks
       Corporation and Century-Link and further provided the
       Company the right in the event of such cure to acquire full
       ownership of Pathworks Corporation on terms and conditions
       to be determined between the parties.

   (e) With the sole exception of those obligations which are
       specifically incorporated in the SEA, the Parties agreed to
       release, cancel, forgive and forever discharge each other
       Party and each of his, her or its predecessors, parent
       corporations, holding companies, subsidiaries, affiliates,
       divisions, heirs, successors and assigns, and all of their
       officers, directors and employees from all actions, claims,
       demands, damages, obligations, liabilities, controversies
       and executions, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether
       known or unknown, whether suspected or not, which have
       arisen, or may have arisen, or shall arise by reason of the
       Merger and the operations or affairs of Pathworks-Florida
       and such Parties specifically agreed to waive any claim or
       right to assert any cause of action or alleged case of
       action or claim or demand which has, through oversight or
       error intentionally or unintentionally or through a mutual
       mistake, been omitted from this mutual general release.

   (f) Effective the Closing of the SEA, James A. Grimwade,
       tendered his resignation as a director of the Company with
       immediate effect.

MAJESTIC STAR: Sues Owner for Terminating Subchapter S Status
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Majestic Star Casino LLC commenced an adversary
proceeding against owner Don H. Barden on Dec. 31 for violating
the automatic stay by terminating the company's status as a
qualified subchapter S corporation.

According to the report, the lawsuit alleges that Don Barden
changed the status of Majestic Star's nonbankrupt parent, Barden
Development Inc. to a subchapter C corporation sometime after
Majestic's Chapter 11 filing, without notifying Majestic Star.
Majestic Star said that the change made the company liable for
"millions of dollars of tax liabilities in 2010, and millions more
going forward."

Mr. Rochelle relates that Majestic Star wants the bankruptcy judge
in Delaware to declare that the change violated the automatic stay
because there was no court approval and it interfered with the
Debtor's property.  The Debtor also wants the judge to restore
subchapter S status while making Don Barden and his company liable
for damages "believed to exceed" $2 million.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Texas will convene a
hearing today, January 6, 2011, at 10:00 a.m., to consider Marvky

MEDICAL STAFFING: Seeks Same-Day Hearing for Plan, Disc. Statement
------------------------------------------------------------------
Medical Staffing Network Holdings Inc. scheduled a bankruptcy
court hearing January 6 to seek conditional approval of the
disclosure statement explaining its proposed Chapter 11 plan.

Medical Staffing wants the Disclosure Statement conditionally
approved so that it can begin sending plan solicitation materials,
set deadlines for ballots and schedule the hearings for final
approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan.

Medical Staffing wants to consolidate the dates pertaining to the
final approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the
Plan.

Medical Staffing also wants to be excused from sending plan
solicitation materials to interest holders and paid creditors.
Pursuant to the Plan, Holders of Interests will receive no
distribution, their shares will be cancelled and they will be
presumed to have voted against the Plan.  The Debtors paid many of
their creditors in full pursuant to orders entered on various
first day motions.

Medical Staffing said its proposal would save administrative
expenses and encourage "a more expedient distribution to
creditors."

According to Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg
News, the Disclosure Statement tells unsecured creditors how they
are unlikely to receive anything in addition to $250,000 that
secured lenders set aside for them when they bought the assets.
The first-lien lenders bought the business by exchanging
$84.1 million of the $98.8 million they were owed.  The purchase
price also included an exchange for the $15 million in financing
they provided for the Chapter 11 case.  Holders of 90% of the
$26.8 million in second-lien debt consented to the sale.  Neither
the first-lien nor second-lien lenders are to receive any of the
$250,000 carveout on account of their deficiency claims.

MOTOROLA INC: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating From 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its
corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings on Motorola Inc. to
'BBB' from 'BB+' and removed the ratings from CreditWatch
Positive, where they were placed on Sept. 2, 2010.  At the same
time, S&P changed the issuer name to Motorola Solutions Inc. S&P
assigned a stable outlook.

"The higher rating incorporates S&P's view that the business
risk profile of the new Motorola Solutions (Solutions) is
satisfactory," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lucy
Patricola, "based on the stability of its markets, the high
priority of its public safety solutions, and the high barriers
to entry that protect its competitive position." S&P calculates
that leverage at separation will be high for the rating, with
adjusted debt to EBITDA in the mid- to high-3x area, but expect
the company to reduce debt and debt-like obligations by about
$2.25 billion by the end of 2012.  S&P believes that management
is committed to deploying existing liquidity to reduce funded
debt or debt-like equivalents to meet a leverage target of fully
adjusted debt to EBITDA in the low-2x area within the next two
years.

its roughly 1,100 employees.  Another person said the moves could
be announced as soon as this month.

NYC OFF-TRACK: Dismissal or Trustee Appointment Hearing on Jan. 19
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the District Council 37 labor union filed a motion
seeking appointment of a trustee to sue racetracks in New York
state for receiving fraudulent transfers from Off-Track Betting
Corp. in New York City.  If the motion is granted by the
bankruptcy judge in New York, NYC OTB would fail in its effort at
having the Chapter 9 municipal reorganization dismissed at the
same Jan. 19 hearing.

As reported in the Dec. 17, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, NYC OTB filed a motion asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York to dismiss its Chapter 9
case.  NYC OTB began closing down December 7 after the state
Senate voted down legislation for a bailout to be effected through
a Chapter 9 reorganization plan.

                        Chapter 9 Plan Off

Early December, the bankruptcy judge signed an order approving
a disclosure statement explaining the Chapter 9 municipal
reorganization plan for NYC OTB.  The Debtor, however, said it
wouldn't solicit creditors' votes unless the legislation proposed
by outgoing New York Governor David Paterson passes.

NYC OTB warned that unless a special session of the New York
legislature adopts enabling legislation, the Debtor would close
down starting December for lack of cash.

Republicans in the state Senate, however, blocked the measure.

ONE MADISON PARK: Green Bridge Capital et al. Sue Developer
-----------------------------------------------------------
David Jones, writing for The Real Deal, reports that Monaco-based
Green Bridge Capital S.A. and Special Situation S.A., led by CEO
Cevdet Caner, filed suit Dec. 15 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Delaware, alleging that One Madison Park developer Ira Shapiro
held only a 32.5% stake in Slazer Enterprises, and must therefore
consult his partners on all major decisions.

The lawsuit claims Mr. Shapiro erroneously approved the bankruptcy
and a rescue deal from Ian Bruce Eichner for the Flatiron
condominium project without consulting with his majority partners.

In June, a group of three investors, represented by Barry
Slotnick, Esq., forced the unfinished 50-story condominium tower
in Manhattan into bankruptcy.  The Troubled Company Reporter,
citing The Wall Street Journal, said November 24, 2010, that
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross approved the switch to a Chapter 11
proceeding.  As part of the bankruptcy filing, Mr. Eichner has
agreed to provide $250,000 interim financing, during the
bankruptcy reorganization.

According to The Real Deal, Mr. Shapiro in November entered into a
$40 million deal with Mr. Eichner, on a rescue plan to get the
project completed.

The Real Deal relates lawyers for Green Bridge said in court
documents that the company owned 25% of Slazer Enterprises and
that Special Situations was granted the rights to another 32.5%
from investor Marc Jacobs, who was Mr. Shapiro's partner in the
project.

Morris James attorney Brett Fallon, Esq., represents Green Bridge.
Mr. Fallon may be reached at:

          Facsimile: 302-571-1750
          E-mail: bfallon@morrisjames.com

The Real Deal says lawyers for Mr. Shapiro, meanwhile, pointed out
that the investors made no previous effort to get involved with
running or rescuing the condo, and now have filed court documents
that are defective.

While Mr. Shapiro spent the last nine months working to save the
condo, the plaintiffs were "4,000 miles away, spending none of
their time or money, doing nothing whatsoever for any of the
debtors," attorney Bruce Grohsgal said, on Mr. Shapiro's behalf.

          Telephone: 302-778-6403
          E-mail: bgrohsgal@pszjlaw.com

The Real Deal notes Mr. Caner, a billionaire Turkish-born real
estate investor, made an $18 million loan in 2007 to Mr. Shapiro
through his former company, Level One, where he was CEO.  In
exchange, he received a pledge for a 35% stake in Mr. Shapiro's
Slazer Enterprises, which developed One Madison Park.

The Real Deal relates lawyers for Mr. Jacobs said he would still
like to see the project completed, but denied that he had anything
to do with the Eichner deal.

ability to continue as a going concern," the Company said in the
filing.

QUANTUM FUEL: Senior Lender Agrees to Forbearance Until April 30
----------------------------------------------------------------
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., and its senior
lender, WB QT, LLC, entered into a Ninth Amendment to Credit
Agreement and a Forbearance Agreement on January 3, 2011.  The
Senior Lender agreed to provide the Company with a $5.0 million
non-revolving line of credit, which may be drawn upon at any time
prior to April 30, 2011.  Advances under the New Line of Credit do
not bear interest -- unless an event of default occurs, in which
case the interest rate would be 10% per annum -- and mature on
April 30, 2011.

Advances under the New Line of Credit are secured by substantially
all of the Company's assets.  Upon execution of the New Line of
Credit, the Company requested an advance of $2.5 million against
the $5.0 million available under the New Line of Credit.  The
Senior Lender is obligated to fund the advance within 5 business
days.

The Senior Lender also agreed to forbear from accelerating the
maturity date for any portion of the Senior Debt Amount and from
exercising any of its rights and remedies with respect to the
Senior Debt Amount until April 30, 2011; provided, however, that
the Forbearance Period expires immediately if the Company defaults
under the Forbearance Agreement or upon the commencement of a
voluntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
proceeding or the commencement of any similar non-voluntary case
or proceeding that remains undismissed or stayed for more than 30
days.  Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Company is precluded
from using the proceeds from the New Line of Credit to pay any
portion of the so-called bridge notes.

On October 13, 2010 and October 19, 2010, the Company sold $4.0
million of senior unsecured subordinated promissory notes --
Bridge Notes -- to certain accredited investors.  The principal
and accrued interest due under the Bridge Notes matured on
December 31, 2010, and the Company was unable to make the required
principal and interest payments.  The Company is currently in
negotiations with the holders of the Bridge Notes to amend the
maturity date and repayment terms but can provide no assurance
that such negotiations will be successful.  To date, the Company
and holders of Bridge Notes totaling $150,000 have entered into
agreements to extend the maturity date of the Bridge Notes to
April 30, 2011.

A default under the Bridge Notes constitutes a cross default or
event of default under the Senior Loan Documents.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company agreed that it
owes the Senior Lenders $20,612,641 as of October 31, 2010.

Upon execution of the Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement, the
Company issued the Senior Lender a three-year common stock
purchase warrant entitling the Senior Lender to purchase 5,555,555
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.45
per share.  The Lender Warrant expires on January 3, 2014.

Also on January 3, 2011, the Company and its Senior Lender entered
into an Amendment to Convertible Notes Agreement to (i) extend the
maturity date of the Convertible Notes from July 31, 2011 to
August 31, 2011, and (ii) change the conversion price on the
Convertible Notes from $0.71 per share to $0.49 per share.

On January 3, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Ninth Amendment
to Credit Agreement, the Company, Senior Lender and Whitebox
Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of the Senior Lender, agreed to
terminate the $10.0 million investment commitment agreement dated
August 3, 2009, as amended, which was scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2011.

REGAL ENTERTAINMENT: Fitch Assigns 'B-/RR6' Rating to Senior Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'B-/RR6' rating to the proposed
additional issuance of Regal Entertainment Group 9.125% senior
unsecured note due 2018.  Proceeds of the notes are expected to be
used to redeem a portion of Regal Cinemas Corporation's senior
secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.  Regal
Cinemas is an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Regal.  In
addition, Fitch has also taken these rating actions:

Regal

  -- Issuer Default Rating affirmed at 'B+';
  -- Senior unsecured notes affirmed at 'B-/RR6'.

Regal Cinemas

  -- IDR affirmed at 'B+';
  -- Senior secured credit facility affirmed at 'BB+/RR1';
  -- Senior unsecured notes upgraded to 'BB-/RR3' from 'B+/RR4'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The upgrade on Regal Cinemas' senior unsecured notes reflects the
notes improved recovery prospects (from an expected 35% to 67%
recovery), following the proposed offering and partial redemption
of the senior credit facility.  Fitch's recovery analysis
estimates an adjusted, distressed enterprise valuation of
$1.7 billion, using a 5 times multiple and including a
conservative estimate for Regal's 19.4% stake in National
CineMedia LLC of approximately $200 million.

Regal will issue the senior notes pursuant to the indenture dated
Aug. 16, 2010, under which Regal also issued $275 million of
9.125% senior notes due 2018 on Aug. 16, 2010.  The current
proposed offering is an upsize of the previous issuance and will
have identical terms to the prior notes.

The indenture, dated Aug. 16, 2010, includes covenants related to
limitation on consolidated debt (net interest coverage greater
than 2x incurrence test), limitation on restricted payments (a
basket that increases based on, among other factors, the excess of
EBITDA over 1.7x interest expense) and limitation on liens
(standard carve-outs exist in addition to an incurrence test of
2.75x net senior secured leverage).  In addition, the indenture
includes a change of control provision that is triggered if any
person (except for the Anschutz Company and any of its affiliates)
becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the voting stock of
Regal.  Other change of control triggers include a majority change
in the Board of Directors, the liquidation or dissolution of
Regal, and if all or substantially all of Regal's and its
subsidiaries' assets are sold.  There are cross payment
default/cross acceleration provisions (among Regal and Regal
Cinemas) in regard to debt in excess of $25 million.

Fitch believes that the company will continue to focus free cash
flow (FCF) deployment toward build-out of theaters, acquisition of
theater assets and/or for shareholder-friendly activities.
However, while not anticipated, a debt-financed material
acquisition or return of capital to shareholders that would raise
the unadjusted gross leverage beyond 4.5x could have a negative
impact on the rating.

As of Sept. 30, 2010, liquidity was made up of $414 million in
cash and $82 million in credit facility availability (reduced by
$3 million in letters of credit), under the company's $85 million
revolving credit facility due May 2015.  As of the end of the
third quarter, Regal was still in the process of retiring the
convertible senior notes due 2011 and Regal Cinemas senior
subordinated notes due 2012, and as such, approximately
$156 million of the $414 million on the balance sheet is expected
to be deployed for these debt repayments.  In addition, a portion
of the cash balance was likely further reduced to fund Regal's
special dividend of $216 million, which was announced and paid
last month, with pro forma remaining cash balance of roughly
$42 million (not accounting for cash generated during the fourth
quarter of 2010).  There are no significant maturities until 2016.
Fitch expects FCF for 2011 to be in the range of approximately
$60 million-$100 million.

Pro forma for the full redemption of the senior convertible notes
and senior subordinated notes, total debt as of Sept. 30, 2010 was
approximately $2 billion, and lease-adjusted gross leverage, based
on Fitch's calculations was 5.0x (unadjusted gross leverage was at
4.0x).  Fitch expects unadjusted gross leverage to gradually
decline over the next few years, but remain above 3.5x.

The ratings reflect these key considerations:

  -- Regal's size and position as the largest domestic movie
     exhibitor, with 6,723 screens in 542 theaters.  Fitch expects
     the company to continue to improve its relatively modern
     theater circuit in a disciplined manner.  The ratings also
     reflect solid geographic diversity and relatively stable
     operating performance.

  -- Fitch believes movie exhibition will continue to be a key
     promotion window for the movie studios biggest/most
     profitable releases.

  -- In the near term, Fitch expects box office revenue for 2011
     to be fueled by the premium pricing charged on 3-D films as
     major 3-D films continue to be released, along with the
     growing capacity of 3-D capable screens.  However, Fitch
     continues to expect that the movie exhibitor industry will be
     challenged in growing attendance and any potential attendance
     declines will offset some of the growth in average ticket
     prices.  Fitch expects that the announced 2011 films (which
     include several releases from Marvel and DC Comics, as well
     as nine sequels) will be able to draw sufficient attendance
     to maintain current attendance levels or at least keep
     declines in the 1% to 2% range.

  -- Fitch notes that concession revenues have remained relatively
     stable despite the weak economic conditions. While Fitch does
     not anticipate a significant decline in concession per
     patron, Fitch remains cautious that high margin concessions
      (which represent approximately 27% of Regal's total revenues
     and carry 86% gross margins), may be vulnerable to reduced
     per-guest concession spending due to cyclical factors or a
     re-acceleration of commodity prices.

  -- The ratings also incorporate the intermediate/long-term risks
     associated with increased competition from at-home
     entertainment media, limited control over revenue trends, the
     pressure on film distribution windows, increasing indirect
     competition from other distribution channels (such as DVD,
     VOD, and the Internet), and high operating leverage (which
     could make theater operators FCF negative during periods of
     reduced attendance). In addition, Regal and its peers rely on
     the quality, quantity, and timing of movie products, all
     factors out of management's control.


REGAL ENTERTAINMENT: Moody's Puts 'B3' Rating on $150 Mil. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Regal
Entertainment Group's new $150 million add-on senior unsecured
notes issue (Regal is the publicly traded parent holding company
of Regal Cinemas Corporation).  Since proceeds from the new issue
will be used to pay down Regal Cinema's $1,235 million bank credit
facility due November 2016, the transaction is neutral to Regal's
consolidated credit profile and Regal's B1 corporate family
rating, B1 probability of default rating, and stable rating
outlook were affirmed.  Further, the add-on notes are rated at the
same B3 level as the reference note issue.  However, as the
transaction decreases the proportion of senior secured debt while
increasing that for junior-most debt, the rating for Regal
Cinema's bank credit facility was upgraded to Ba2 from Ba3.

In December, Regal announced and paid a $216 million special
dividend.  In light of what Moody's think are mounting pressures
on the industry (theatric windows are shrinking, on-line
distribution is gaining momentum, and recent revenue gains have
depended mostly on ticket price increases which surely cannot
continue indefinitely), Moody's interpreted this as an aggressive
step.  However, as last Fall's $275 million notes issue prefunded
redemption of the remaining $105 million of convertible notes due
March, 2011, and as Regal continues to have a relatively large
cash balance ($149 million at September 30, 2010, pro forma for
the redemption and special dividend), the dividend can be
accommodated within the B1 rating, albeit the company has consumed
some of its financial flexibility.  This is especially the case in
light of recent trends that show deteriorating leverage and
coverage.  However, as Moody's expects the company to be cash flow
positive, do not expect financial covenant compliance issues and
given the cash balance, Regal continues to have very good
liquidity.  The SGL-1 speculative grade liquidity rating therefore
also remains unchanged, and the rating outlook remains stable.

This summarizes the rating actions and Regal's ratings:

Ratings and Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Regal Entertainment Group

  -- Senior Unsecured add-on Senior Notes issue assigned B3 (LGD6,
     92%)

  -- Senior Unsecured Senior Notes (Underlying issue), unchanged
     at B3 with the LGD assessment changed to LGD6, 92% from LGD6,
     94%

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Unchanged at B1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Unchanged at B1

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Unchanged at SGL-1

  -- Outlook, Unchanged at Stable

Issuer: Regal Cinemas Corporation

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Upgraded to Ba2 (LGD2,
     24%) from Ba3 (LGD3, 32%)

  -- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, unchanged at B2 with
     the LGD assessment changed to LGD5, 72% from LGD5, 82%

  -- Outlook, Unchanged at Stable

                         Rating Rationale

The company's ongoing nominal free cash flow profile, its
relatively high financial leverage and a very limited ability to
repay debt from internally generated cash flow are the key
considerations that constrain ratings.  The company's historic
propensity to reward shareholders, which was very recently
reinforced, also factors into the ratings assessment.  This is
especially relevant as business conditions, in Moody's view,
deteriorate.  While cinema exhibition has an historically proven
business model, evolving consumer preferences and distribution
technologies suggest that the business is more vulnerable to
substitution than has historically been the case, and, in turn, it
may be necessary in the near future to maintain a more
conservative capital structure than has historically been the case
at any given ratings level.  Support for the ratings is provided
by the company's leading stature in the cinema exhibition
industry.  Scale and recession-tested financial performance are
positive features.  So too is the company's remaining
approximately 21.5 million unit position in National Cinemedia LLC
(approximately 10.75%); the pre-tax realization value of
approximately $345 million (assuming a per unit price of $16)
provides an important buffer of just under 7% of gross fully
adjusted debt.  With approximately $144 million of cash
(September 30, 2010, pro forma for this March's $105 million
convertible note redemption and last month's $216 million special
dividend), modestly positive free cash flow, no near term
financial covenant pressure, and sundry assets that could be sold
for cash, the company has very good liquidity.  This mitigates
near term default risk and supports the B1 CFR and PDR.

                          Rating Outlook

Regal's B1 CFR reflects the trade-offs between the relative
stability and the small magnitude of the company's cash flow
stream.  With no change expected in either parameter, and with
very good liquidity, the ratings outlook is stable.

                What Could Change the Rating Up

Given the company's ability to generate free cash flow and an
historic propensity to allocate free cash flow to equity holders,
a near-term ratings upgrade is not likely.  However, the rating
could be upgraded if the company demonstrates a clear trajectory
towards maintaining TD/EBITDA below 5x while at the same time
maintaining free cash flow to debt in excess of 5%.

               What Could Change the Rating Down

Downward pressure on the rating could occur if the company is
unable to demonstrate an ability to sustain 2%-to-3% FCF/TD.
Additionally, adverse liquidity developments, material debt-
financed acquisitions or TD/EBITDA leverage approaching 6x would
also likely pressure the rating.

                        Corporate Profile

Regal Entertainment Group is the parent company of Regal
Entertainment Holdings, Inc., which is the parent company of Regal
Cinemas Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The Company operates a
theatre circuit in the United States consisting of 6,705 screens
in 540 theatres in 37 states and the District of Columbia.  Regal
develops, acquires and operates multi-screen theatres primarily in
mid-sized metropolitan markets and suburban growth areas of larger
metropolitan markets throughout the United States.

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


RENAISSANT LAFAYETTE: Compromise With Interforum Group Approved
---------------------------------------------------------------
On December 28, 2010, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin approved the settlement agreement between
Renaissant Lafayette LLC and Interforum Holdings, Inc., and
Interforum Holdings-Lafayette, LLC (the "Interforum Entities"),
which resolves all matters pertaining in any way to the Debtor,
the Debtor's Chapter 11 case, or the Park Lafayette Project.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Debtor and the
Interforum Entities have agreed that (i) both of the Interforum
Entities ceased to be members of the Debtor as of February 13,
2009, and they have no rights of any kind against, in or related
to Renaissant or the Park Lafayette Project; (ii) neither of the
Interforum Entities has any standing in the bankruptcy case;
(iii) the Debtor and the Interforum Entities will grant complete
mutual releases to one another and related parties and entities
with respect to all matters pertaining to the Debtor, the
Park Lafayette Project and this Chapter 11 Case; and (iv) the
Objections (to the sale of substantially all of the Debtor's
assets) and the Motion to Dismiss the Petition will be deemed to
have been withdrawn with prejudice.

Neither the Debtor nor its lender (Amalgamated Bank) will make any
payments to the Interforum Entities pursuant to the settlement.

Interforum Holdings, Inc., owned a 12.5% interest in the Debtor,
and Interforum Holdings-Lafayette, LLC, owned a 37.5% interest in
the Debtor.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on December 6, 2010,
Interforum Holdings-Lafayette, LLC, sold its 37.5% interest back
to Renaissant in February 2009 for $500,000, and filed a copy of
the signed agreement with the Bankruptcy Court.  The Interforum
Entities denied they sold their interest in the Project, and said
that the copy of the signed agreement that was filed with the
Bankruptcy Court is "null and void."

The Debtor disputed this claim of the Interforum Entities.  It
believed that both of the Interforum Entities had withdrawn as
members of the Debtor in February of 2009, and therefore amended
its Operating Agreement to treat both of the Interforum Entities
as having withdrawn and disassociated themselves as members from
the Debtor.

                    About Renaissant Lafayette

Oak Brook, Illinois-based Renaissant Lafayette LLC is the owner of
a 280-unit luxury condominium development in Milwaukee named Park
Lafayette.  The project is at the intersection of North Prospect
Avenue and Lafayette Place in Milwaukee.  So far, 39 units were
sold.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on December 23, 2009
(Bankr. E.D. Wis. Case No. 09-38166).  The Company estimated its
assets at $50 million to $100 million and debts at $100 million to
$500 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on December 29, 2010,
the Bankruptcy Court approved Renaissant Lafayette's request to
sell its Park Lafayette building to Amalgamated Bank of New York
City.  Interforum Holdings, which had asked the Court to block the
sale, withdrew its complaint after the judge approved a settlement
agreement that it negotiated with the Debtor.

RHI ENTERTAINMENT: Rejects Pact to Use "Lonely Teardrops" Tune
--------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Morath, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reports that RHI Entertainment Inc. is seeking bankruptcy-court
permission to drop its agreement to use the "Lonely Teardrops"
tune, saying the contract "financially burdensome."

An iconic 1950s song, "Lonely Teardrops" was used in the 1998
miniseries "The Temptations," which first aired on NBC.  Mr.
Morath says RHI holds the rights to the series about the Motown
quintet but said it's abandoning plans to market the series to
others because the expense associated obtaining the necessary
music licenses outweigh the financial benefits.

RHI licensed the song from Jobete Music Co., Mr. Morath says,
citing court papers.  A hearing on the matter is set for next
week.

TAMARACK RESORT: Bank of America Takes Back Two Ski Lifts
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a bankruptcy judge approved a request by the leasing
subsidiary of Bank of America Corp. to recover two chairlifts from
Tamarack Resort LLC.

The Troubled Company Reporter ran a story on Banc of America
Leasing & Capital LLC's request to lift the automatic stay in its
December 10, 2010, issue.  Banc of America Leasing said it has not
received lease payments for the ski lifts for a year.  Mr.
Rochelle says Tamarack unsuccessfully argued that losing the two
lifts would lower the value of its ski resort project.

Mr. Rochelle relates that Tamarack has three other lifts that will
be operated this season by the homeowners' association under a
lease the bankruptcy judge approved to operate the facility.  The
association pays the state $80,000 to extend the time for assuming
the lease until June 2011.

Tamarack leases the land from the state.  The secured lender paid
the state almost $300,000 in rent that was due in January 2010 and
pays the state another $125,000 for 2011.

                     About Tamarack Resort

Tamarack Resort LLC, a golf and ski resort in Valley County,
Idaho, was sent to Chapter 7 after creditors submitted an
involuntary petition (Bankr. D. Idaho Case No. 09-03911).  The
petitioning creditors include an affiliate of Bank of America
Corp. owed $4.7 million.

On April 9, 2010, Bankruptcy Judge Terry Myers signed an order
converting Tamarack Resort LLC's involuntary chapter 7 case to a
chapter 11 reorganization.

The project's 27.5% owner, VPG Investments Inc., filed for Chapter
11 reorganization in 2008, only to have the petition dismissed in
October 2008 at the request of the secured creditor, Credit
Suisse, Caymans Islands Branch.  VPG was controlled by Mexican
businessman Alfredo Miguel Afif.  Credit Suisse, the agent for the
secured lenders, characterized VPG's Chapter 11 case as "a classic
example of a bad faith filing" made "solely as a litigation
tactic" to stop foreclosure.

TARGUS INFORMATION: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B+'
corporate credit rating to Vienna, Va.-based TARGUS Information
Corp.  S&P also assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '2'
recovery rating to the company's $190 million senior secured
credit facility.  The facility consists of a $175 million term
loan B due 2016 and a $15 million revolving credit facility due
2015.  The recovery rating of '2' indicates S&P's expectation for
substantial (70%-90%) recovery in the event of default.

The proceeds, in addition to cash from the balance sheet, will
fund a $187 million shareholder dividend, redeem all outstanding
preferred stock, and cover related fees.  The ratings S&P is
assigning are final and follow the closing of the financing on
Dec. 29, 2010.

"The ratings on TARGUS reflect its participation in a competitive
market dominated by well-capitalized incumbent telecommunications
providers, a concentrated customer base, and an aggressive
financial policy," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael
Senno.  S&P believes the company's new Internet-based products
have the potential to generate high revenue growth, although
demand prospects are uncertain.  Factors that partially offset
these risks include multiyear contracts providing high visibility
into recurring revenue, a strong customer retention record, and
healthy EBITDA margins.  Pro forma for the recently completed
financing, TARGUS will have debt to EBITDA of about 3.3x,
including S&P's adjustments for operating leases.

UCI INTERNATIONAL: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of UCI
International, Inc. -- Corporate Family and Probability of Default
-- at B2.  UCI is the ultimate parent of United Components, Inc.
This action follows UCI's disclosure of the financing arrangements
for the company's acquisition by an affiliate of the Rank Group.
In a related action, Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to UCI's new
bank credit facilities, and a B3 rating to UCI's new senior
unsecured notes.  The rating outlook is stable.

Rank Group or its affiliate, subject to certain conditions, will
acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other
equity interests in UCI for a payment of $375 million to the
company's existing equity holders; and raise $250 million of new
senior unsecured notes, $450 million of new senior secured term
loans, and use cash on hand to refinance UCI's and its
subsidiaries' existing indebtedness.  The transaction is subject
to certain regulatory approvals but is anticipated to close in Q1
2011.

These ratings were assigned:

UCI International, Inc.

* Ba3 (LGD2, 28%), to the new $75 million guaranteed senior
  secured revolving credit due 2016;

* Ba3 (LGD2, 28%), to the new $450 million guaranteed senior
  secured term loan due 2017;

* B3, (LGD5, 77%) to the new $250 million guaranteed senior
  unsecured notes due 2019.

These ratings were affirmed:

UCI International, Inc.

* Corporate Family Rating, at B2;

* Probability of Default Rating, at B2;

* Unguaranteed senior unsecured notes; at Caa1 (LGD5, 86%) -- the
  note ratings will be withdrawn upon their refinancing.

United Components, Inc.

* $75 million guaranteed senior secured revolving credit due 2015,
  Ba3 (LGD2, 24%);

* $425 million guaranteed senior secured term loan due 2017, Ba3
   (LGD2, 24%);

The bank credit facility ratings will be withdrawn upon their
refinancing.

                        Ratings Rationale

The affirmation of B2 UCI's Corporate Family Rating incorporates
the modest debt reduction expected upon the consummation of the
company's acquisition by an affiliate of the Rank Group.  Pro
forma the transaction for the LTM period ending 9/30/10, UCI's
funded debt level is expected to reduce by about 9%.
Nevertheless, UCI's pro forma Debt/EBITDA will remain high at
approximately 5.7x.  As part of the transaction, UCI's Holdco PIK
notes will be repaid, eliminating the requirement in March 2012 to
redeem for cash a portion of the notes to the extent required to
prevent the UCI Holdco PIK notes from being treated as an
applicable high yield discount obligation.  The company's
financial flexibility to manage through this requirement was
incorporated in the upgrade of the Corporate Family Rating in
September 2010.

UCI's change in ownership is not expected to disrupt the company's
position as one of North America's leading suppliers of automotive
aftermarket parts.  The ratings continue to benefit from the
favorable demand profile for aftermarket auto parts.  The
company's filtration products (about 39% of 2009 revenues) are
largely consumables that have relatively short and predictable
replacement cycles and are somewhat resistant to economic
downturns.  The company's fuel delivery systems, cooling systems,
and vehicle electronics products (about 61% of 2009 revenues) are
non-discretionary products that are required for proper vehicle
performance, and have more stable demand patterns which offer
revenue visibility.  Additionally, the domestic vehicle population
and average vehicle age are expected to continue to increase over
the intermediate-term.

UCI's liquidity profile is expected to remain adequate over the
next twelve months supported by the new $75 million revolving
credit facility and Moody's anticipation of positive free cash
flow generation over the near-term.  UCI's existing liquidity
includes a $75 million revolving credit facility that was unfunded
on September 30, 2010 with approximately $23.7 million of
availability due to debt incurrence tests under the Holdco PIK
Notes.  Nonetheless, availability is expected to improve under the
new $75 million revolving credit facility with the repayment of
the existing Holdco PIK Notes from newly issued debt and cash on
hand.  The company's cash balances were about $171 million at
September 30, 2010.  However, much of the cash is expected to be
used toward refinancing existing indebtedness as part of the
company's acquisition by affiliates of the Rank Group.  UCI's
large uncommitted receivable factoring program continues to
represent a liquidity risk if these programs are discontinued
(without the program, accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010
would have been $128.3 million higher).  Yet, these factoring
arrangements support the commercial relationships between UCI and
certain of its longstanding customers.  As such, these programs
are expected to remain largely in place over the intermediate
term.  Alternate liquidity is anticipated to remain limited as
essentially all the company's domestic assets are expected to be
used to secure the new senior secured credit facilities.

The stable rating outlook reflects the company's improved
profitability over recent quarters due to the effects of cost
reduction initiatives, a stabilizing business environment, and
adequate liquidity profile.

The last rating action for UCI was on September 29, 2010, when the
Corporate Family Rating was raised to B2.

UCI, headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, is one of the larger
and more diversified companies primarily servicing the vehicle
aftermarket.  The company supplies a broad range of filtration
products, fuel delivery systems, cooling systems, and vehicle
electronics products.  While approximately 88% of revenues are
aftermarket related, UCI also services customers within the
marine, mining, construction, agricultural, and industrial vehicle
markets.  Annual revenues in 2009 were approximately $885 million.
UCI is currently a portfolio company of The Carlyle Group.


UNITED COMPONENTS: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Ratings at 'B'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has affirmed its 'B'
corporate credit ratings on United Components Inc. and parent UCI
International Inc. and removed the ratings from CreditWatch, where
they had been placed with developing implications on Dec. 1, 2010.
The outlook on both entities is positive.  UCII will be the rated
entity, borrower, and issuer after the purchase by New Zealand-
based Rank Group Ltd. closes.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B' issue rating and '3'
recovery rating on the proposed $450 million, 6.5-year term loan
B and five-year, $75 million revolving credit line.  S&P assigned
its 'CCC+' issue rating and '6' recovery rating on the proposed
eight-year, $250 million senior unsecured notes.  The notes are
expected to be registered at a future date.  S&P will withdraw its
ratings on UCI and its existing debt upon closing of the
refinancing, as S&P expects this debt to be repaid in full as part
of the transaction.

The affirmation reflects S&P's view that near-term risks to the
company's financial flexibility have been reduced by the purchase-
related debt refinancing, but also that leverage remains too
elevated for us to assign a higher rating at this time.

S&P now views UCII's business risk profile as fair, an improvement
from its previous view of weak.  This change in S&P's opinion
reflects the company's ability to maintain solid double-digit
margins (before depreciation) during the recession because of the
company's market position and the relatively stable demand
characteristics of the light-vehicle aftermarket component sector.

UCII's fair business risk profile reflects the highly competitive
character of the automotive aftermarket and the company's limited
revenue diversity, but also the more stable demand characteristics
of the aftermarket, the company's leading position in certain
product categories, and the company's recent adjusted margins of
about 18% (before depreciation).  Competition from parts suppliers
in low-cost countries can result in lower pricing power for U.S.
aftermarket participants.  UCII's earnings are also subject to
volatility in costs for commodities and energy as well as changes
in foreign currency exchange rates, both of which have affected
profits in the past several years.

S&P views the company's financial risk profile as highly
leveraged, and this opinion has not changed as a result of the
pending purchase by Rank Group.  In assessing the financial risk
profile, S&P also took into account UCII's lack of a financial
policy track record under the pending new owners.

S&P believes the gradual economic recovery will help UCII's
results in 2011.  The U.S. recession and volatile gas prices
caused consumers to drive less and defer discretionary maintenance
in 2008 and 2009, whereas in previous years, consumer maintenance
purchases provided slight revenue growth.  Still, sales in the
U.S. auto aftermarket (excluding tire sales) have historically
been recession-resilient compared with new-vehicle-related sales
and have grown by single-digit percentages yearly.  Although
unemployment remains high and consumer sentiment low, data from
the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway
Administration indicates miles driven are rising again.

UCII's revenues increased 6.5% for the 12 months ended Sept. 30,
boosted by higher sales in auto aftermarket channels, including
retail, traditional, OES, heavy-duty truck, and OEM.  S&P believes
restructuring actions such as workforce reductions, wage freezes,
and stricter discretionary spending have improved margins in the
past year.

S&P assumes UCII's credit measures will remain fairly consistent
after the Rank Group purchase.  S&P estimates that leverage will
be about 5.5x following the transaction.  S&P views UCII's free
cash flow generation as low relative to its debt load, but S&P
also view the conversion of net income to free cash flow as a
strong point, at more than 100%, in S&P's estimates for 2011.

S&P views UCII's liquidity as adequate under its criteria, taking
into account the proposed financing related to the acquisition.
The company will have much less cash but a $75 million revolving
credit line.  UCII generated more than $100 million in free cash
flow for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010, and S&P expects it to
generate free cash flow for the full years 2010 and 2011.

The outlook is positive, indicating a one-in-three likelihood that
S&P would raise the rating in the next year.  S&P believes the
proposed financing in conjunction with the purchase by Rank Group
coupled with the company's relatively stable business (although
with limited growth prospects) and continued double-digit margins
could lead to improvement in UCII's leverage profile beyond what
S&P currently assume.  For the current rating, S&P assumes debt to
EBITDA will remain at more than 5.0x and funds from operations
(FFO) to debt at just over 10%; S&P estimates this will happen if
revenue growth is low and gross margins remain near historical
levels.

S&P could raise the ratings if S&P was to raise its assessment of
the financial risk profile to aggressive.  Doing so would require
us to believe that UCII would generate meaningful free cash flow
to be put toward debt reduction, resulting in leverage improving
beyond 4.5x and FFO to debt of more than 12%.  S&P estimates that
this could occur if the gross margin exceeded 30% and revenue
growth was 4% or higher in 2011.  S&P would also need to believe
that financial policies under the new owner would be supportive of
permanent reductions in debt.

S&P could lower the ratings if the economy fails to recover,
leading to persistently weaker consumer demand or customer
resistance to commodity cost recovery, such that FFO to debt is
less than 10%, debt to EBITDA moves toward 6x, and the company
generates negative cash flow.  Leveraged distributions to
shareholders that would worsen leverage could also result in a
lower rating.


US FIDELIS: Seeks Plan Exclusivity Until March 31
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,

Z TRIM HOLDINGS: Sells Securities for $1.03 Million
---------------------------------------------------
Between December 15 and 29, 2010, Z Trim Holdings, Inc. entered
into 2 private placement subscription agreements with investors
pursuant to which it sold 103.0325 units consisting of Preferred
Stock and warrants, for an aggregate offering price of $1,030,325.
Each of the units consists of 2,000 shares of the Series I 8%
Convertible Preferred Stock at an Original Issue Price of $5.00
per share, with rights to: (i) a dividend which accrues
cumulatively on a daily basis at the rate of 8% per annum of the
Original Issue Price payable in shares of the Common Stock; (ii)
conversion into such a number of shares of Common Stock determined
by dividing the Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price,
initially, $1.00; (iii) a liquidation preference equal to the sum
of the Original Issue Price and an amount equal to 8% of the
Original Issue Price for each 12 months that passed since the date

dividend, mandatory redemption and any provisions requiring
payment on the Preferred Stock are deferred until the 2008 Notes
due in 2010 and the 2009 Notes due in 2011 and 2012 are paid in
full.  Such deferral, even if the maturity dates on the Notes are
extended, will not constitute a default under the Preferred Stock
terms.  The Preferred Stock terms may be amended by the Company
and the consent of the holders of the majority of the outstanding
shares and such majority may also waive an adjustment to the
Conversion Price.

The Preferred Stock is convertible into a total of 1,030,025
shares of Common Stock.  The Investors also received one five-year
warrant for each Unit purchased, to purchase 15,000 shares of
Common Stock per unit with an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

* Consumer Bankruptcies in 2010 Rose 9% to 1.5 Million
------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church at Bloomberg News reports that U.S. consumer
bankruptcy filings rose 9% last year compared with 2009, reaching
1.53 million, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute,
which projected 2010 bankruptcies totaling 1.6 million.

The pace of bankruptcy filings slowed in the last quarter, with
fewer petitions in October and November than during the same
period a year earlier, the Bloomberg report said, citing
Alexandria, Virginia-based ABI.  The slowdown at the end of the
year was the result of more consumers reducing debt and cutting
spending, ABI Executive Director Samuel J. Gerdano said January 3
in an interview with Bloomberg.


* New York Increases Exemptions for Homes and Autos
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,

the equity in an automobile is now $4,000, up from $2,400.  For
the equity in a home, the exemption previously was $50,000.  Now
it's $75,000 to $150,000, depending on the county where the home
is located.

                           *********

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