1600 TRADING: Court Confirms Plan of Reorganization
---------------------------------------------------
On December 22, 2010, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Texas entered an order confirming 1600 Trading Co.,
LP's proposed plan of reorganization as amended November 9, 2010,
and December 16, 2010.

The requisite number of impaired classes of claims or interests
voted to accept the Plan.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on December 9, 2010,
the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas
conditionally approved the disclosure statement explaining the
Debtor's Plan.

The Debtor's Plan is a Liquidating Plan.  Under the Plan, the
Debtor's current indebtedness will be paid from the proceeds of
the sale of Debtor's assets, which primarily consist of airplane
parts.  The sales will be completed within 48 months of the
effective date of the Plan.  Upon the Plan's confirmation, the
airplane parts will be transferred to the plan trustee to be sold
in accordance with the terms of the liquidation trust.

Under the Plan, unsecured creditors will share pro rata in payment
made by the Plan Trustee on a quarterly basis after payment in
full of the allowed administrative claims and secured claims.
Holders of existing interests in the Debtor will not receive any
distributions under the Plan but will retain their existing
interests.

Under the Court's confirmation order, the Debtor reserves the
right to object to the amount and allowance of all claims after
confirmation, except as to TIMCO and PlainsCapital Bank (except as
limited by the Agreed Order entered on November 3, 2010 docket
number 51).  All objections will be filed within sixty (60) days
of the Effective Date, as defined in the Plan.

                       About 1600 Trading

Richardson, Texas-based 1600 Trading Co., LP, is a Texas Limited
Parnership owned by Cindy Brown and Doug Hyde.  The Partnership
buys airplane engines and sells off the parts of the engines.  The
Partnership filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
February 15, 2010 (Bankr. E.D. Tex. Case No. 10-40478).  Eric A.
Liepins, Esq., in Dallas, Texas, serves as bankruptcy counsel to
the Debtor.  The Company disclosed $11,000,000 in assets and
$5,147,062 in debts in its Chapter 11 petition.


2001 PROPERTIES: Wants Plan Filing Period Extended to April 28
--------------------------------------------------------------
2001 Properties, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado to extend its exclusive period to file a plan
by another 120 days, or until April 28, 2010.

In its motion, the Debtor said that since the filing of its case,
it has worked diligently and in good faith toward filing a
confirmable plan of organization, and has in fact obtained a
financial commitment of over $25 million in private equity
financing, that is expected to be finalized by mid-January 2011
yet.  The Debtor anticipates filing a plan and disclosure
statement by the end of January 2011.

In view of the foregoing and the size and complexity of its
Chapter 11 case, the Debtor says a further extension of its
exclusive period is warranted.

Mission Hills, Kansas-based 2001 Properties, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on August 31, 2010 (Bankr. D.
Colo. Case No. 10-32331).  Guy B. Humphries, Esq., in Denver,
Colorado, assists the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  In its
schedules, the Debtor disclosed $35,000,032 in total assets and
$44,404,244 in total liabilities as of the Petition Date.


207 REDWOOD: Wants Plan Exclusivity Until April 3
-------------------------------------------------
207 Redwood LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Maryland to extend its exclusive periods to file a Chapter 11 Plan
of Reorganization and obtain acceptances of that plan to
February 2, 2011, and April 3, 2011, respectively.

In the extension request, the Debtor relates that it is engaged in
complex negotiations with various parties that could result in
revisions to the "meaningful" distribution already contemplated
under its proposed plan of reorganization.

The Debtor filed its proposed Chapter 11 plan on November 5, 2010.

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

A hearing on the exclusivity extension request will be held on
February 16, 2011, at 2:00 p.m.

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

556 HOLDING: Obtains Approval for Dismissal of its Chapter 11 Case
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
entered, on December 28, 2011, an order dismissing the Chapter 11
cases of 556 Holding LLC and KDMJ Realty, Inc.

As reported in the Nov. 24, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, Judge Allan L. Gropper approved the sale of the Debtor's
main asset -- the 30,000-square-foot building that houses the
Chelsea Art Museum -- to New York real-estate developer Albanese
Development Corp. for $19.35 million.  Lender Hudson Realty
Capital, which had previously fought for the right to sell the
property, consented to the sale, after reaching a deal that would
give it $13.05 million of the sale proceeds to cover payment for
its claims.

In its motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 case, 556 Holding said
that it has "nothing left to gain" from lingering in Chapter 11
following the sale of its property.  The Debtor explained that
there's no reason for it to keep administering its bankruptcy
case, as the $19.35 million offer from Albanese Development is
expected to generate enough funds to pay creditors' claims in
full.

                        About 556 Holding

556 Holding LLC is the entity that owns the building that houses
the Chelsea Art Museum.  The building was built in 1850 and
located in the Chelsea neighborhood on the west side of
Manhattan.  The building is worth $20 million, says 556 Holding.

New York-based 556 Holding LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection on August 6, 2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-14267).
Richard Engman, Esq., at Jones Day, assists the Debtor in its
restructuring effort.  The Debtor estimated its assets and debts
at $10 million to $50 million.

An affiliate, KDMJ Realty, Inc., which owns 100% of 556 Holding,
filed a separate Chapter 11 petition on August 6, 2010 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-14268).  KDMJ Realty estimated less than
$10 million in total assets in its petition.

negative, from Standard & Poor's.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has revised its outlook
on AMR Corp. and its major operating subsidiary, American Airlines
Inc., to stable from negative, based on AMR's improved operating
performance, which has bolstered credit quality.  S&P also
affirmed its 'B-' corporate credit rating and most issue ratings
on the two companies and lowered selected ratings on American's
enhanced equipment trust certificates.


AMERICAN INT'L: Questioned by U.S. Regulators Over AIA IPO
----------------------------------------------------------
U.S. securities regulators last year challenged American
International Group Inc. over what it told U.S. investors about
its plans to sell shares in an Asian life-insurance unit.

In a letter to American International Group, Inc., dated
October 20, 2010, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
commented on the company's press release on Form 8-K discussing
the initial public offering of shares of AIA Group Limited and the
Hong Kong prospectus posted on October 18, 2010.  The press
release identifies the Joint Global Coordinators and Joint
Sponsors of the Global Offering as well as the Joint Bookrunners
and Joint Lead Managers of the Global Offering.  The Commission
urged the Company to be certain that the filing includes the
information the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all applicable
Exchange Act rules require.

AIA Group Limited, on October 17, 2010, issued a press release
announcing the details of a global offering and proposed listing
of its shares on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hongkong
Limited.

In response to the Commission's comments, Kathleen E. Shannon,
senior vice president and deputy general counsel at AIG, said a
practice has developed in the case of initial public offerings of
foreign subsidiaries of U.S. public companies that has involved
the filing with the SEC by the U.S. public company of materials
relating to the status of the offerings.  She added that the
filings in the United States as Current Reports on Form 8-K ensure
that foreign investors do not have an information advantage over
U.S. investors in the trading of the U.S. public company's
securities.

Ms. Shannon clarified that in order to constitute an "offer" for
purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act, the Press
Release would need to have been issued in a manner to create
interest in the ordinary shares of AIA as opposed to simply
keeping U.S. investors in AIG up to date with the status of the
AIA initial public offering.  Ms. Shannon maintained that the Form
8-K was not in any way used to inform the public about the initial
public offering of AIA.  AIG did not attempt to summarize, redact,
restate, supplement or otherwise modify the Press Release but
merely attached the Press Release as an exhibit to the Form 8-K,
keeping its U.S. shareholders equally informed about the status of
the offering, she asserted.  According to Ms. Shannon, the Press
Release was not prepared to be an offering document for U.S.
investors.

In considering all of these factors, AIG has determined that, even
if the Form 8-K were determined to be an offer for purposes of
Section 2(a)(3), the consequences of that determination would not
be material to AIG.

Approximately $7 billion of the ordinary shares of AIA Group
Limited were sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United
States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.  The AIA
offering, with a total offering size of approximately $20.5
billion, was one of the largest ever listed on the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange and received significant publicity.

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,

addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance
and retirement services around the world.  AIG common stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the stock
exchanges in Ireland and Tokyo.

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

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

AmTrust Financial, together with affiliates that include AmTrust
Management Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
November 30, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No. 09-21323).  G.

2009, AmTrust Bank was closed by regulators, and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation was named receiver.  New York
Community Bank, Westbury, New York, assumed all of the deposits of
AmTrust Bank, pursuant to a deal with the FDIC.


ANGIOTECH PHARMACEUTICALS: Amends PHS Pact to Eliminate Royalties
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On December 29, 2010, Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into
an amendment to the License Agreement, dated as of November 19,
1997, with Public Health Service -- through the Office of
Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health.

Pursuant to the Amendment, NIH has agreed to eliminate (i)
approximately $7 million of accrued but unpaid royalties due on
sales of the Boston Scientific TAXUS Stent and (ii) the royalties
payable on licensed products sold by Boston Scientific Corporation
going forward, in exchange for an increase of 0.25% on the
existing royalty rates for licensed products sold by Cook, Inc. or
its affiliates and an extension of the term for payment of such
royalties of approximately two years.  The result of the Amendment
is to eliminate payment of royalties that would be payable in the
short-term and increase the royalties that would be payable or
licensed products sold by Cook in the long-term in order to
facilitate Angiotech's efforts to recapitalize and reorganize its
operations.

                  About Angiotech Pharmaceuticals

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%
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.

ASIAN ART MUSEUM: Has Proposal to Restructure $120-Mil. Bond Debt
-----------------------------------------------------------------
San Francisco, California Mayor Gavin Newsom, City Attorney Dennis
Herrera, City Controller Ben Rosenfield, Board of Supervisors
President David Chiu and the Asian Art Museum Foundation, the
private fundraising arm of the Asian Art Museum, announced a
proposal to restructure the Foundation's $120 million bond debt.
The five-party proposed agreement, coordinated by City Attorney
Herrera, City Controller Ben Rosenfield, and City Public Finance
Director Nadia Sesay with participation from the Foundation and
its creditors, JP Morgan Chase and MBIA, Inc., provides long term
stable financing to the Foundation, allowing the organization to
continue to raise the funds necessary to support the Museum's
dynamic range of exhibitions and programs.  The proposal will now
be submitted to the Board of Supervisors, Asian Art Commission and
Asian Art Museum Foundation for their consideration.

Home to a world-renowned collection of more than 17,000 artworks
spanning 6,000 years, the Asian Art Museum is one of the largest
museums in the Western world devoted exclusively to Asian art.
The Museum is governed by a public/private partnership with the
Asian Art Museum Foundation serving as the organization's private
fundraising arm.  To complete the construction of the Museum's
Civic Center home in the early 2000s, the Foundation adopted a
common funding model:  to raise funds via capital campaign, then
issue bonds against the campaign commitments to finance the
construction.

More recently, the Asian Art Museum Foundation found itself in
technical default of bond covenants and facing the expiration of a
letter of credit required to sustain the former financing
arrangement. Bond rating agencies expressed concern about the
Foundation's ability to repay the bonds.

"The Asian Art Museum Foundation's investments and debts-like many
nonprofits-have been rocked in recent years by the effects of the
global financial crisis," said City Controller Ben Rosenfield.
"The proposal we've collaboratively crafted allows the Foundation
to regain its financial stability so that it can continue to
generate much-needed financial support to the Museum."

First, there is a restructuring of the rate and term of the
Foundation's bonds.  JPMorgan Chase will extend a loan at a low
fixed-rate of 4.60% to replace the existing variable rate bonds.
Also, the term of the bonds is extended to 30 years (versus
current 23 years), and a portion of the principal on the new bonds
is deferred in the first two years to allow "breathing room" while
the Foundation is restored to full financial health.

A second component of the proposal includes a reduction in the
total loan principal and a return of funds to the Foundation. In
addition to the benefits from the restructured bond's rate and
term, the Foundation receives upfront cash concessions of $21
million, thereby reducing the outstanding principal amount to $99
million from approximately $120 million, or a reduction of 17%.
Also, the current Swap agreement created in 2005 is canceled and
the collateral (with a current balance of $13 million) will be
returned to Foundation.

The third element requires the Foundation to launch a three-year
capital campaign.  The first $20 million raised in new
unrestricted philanthropic commitments will be required to close
the gap (assuming 6.0% return).  Funds raised above and beyond
this amount could be used to build the museum's endowment or fund
strategic initiatives.  Through the leadership of former Mayor
Willie Brown, City Attorney Dennis Herrera, Mayor Gavin Newsom and
Supervisor Carmen Chu, a committee of civic leaders will be
recruited for a capital campaign that will bolster and broaden the
Foundation's fundraising capacity.

"On behalf of the Asian Art Museum Foundation, I express our deep
gratitude to Mayor Newsom, City Attorney Dennis Herrera,
Controller Ben Rosenfield, and other City officials for their
leadership in facilitating a solution toward servicing the
Foundation's debt," stated Akiko Yamazaki, President of the Asian
Art Museum Foundation.  "We are now well-positioned to fulfill our
role in supporting the Museum's future endeavors.  The Foundation
welcomes the leadership of the City in helping us achieve our
goals, and we urge the Board of Supervisors to support this
proposal."

Finally, while the Foundation remains primarily responsible for
debt and pledges its assets, the City would provide an assurance
agreement to replace the current MBIA insurance policy for the
debt.  Under this proposed agreement, the City will agree to seek
funding for the Foundation's bonds under certain conditions if the
Foundation does not have sufficient funds.  The proposal also
strengthens the working relationship between the City and
Foundation to ensure the Foundation's debt is effectively
serviced. For example, the City Controller's Office will review
and offer recommendations to the Foundation's annual budget.

"As director of the museum, I will continue to work with both City
colleagues and Foundation leadership to ensure that the public
enjoyment of the museum's offerings not only continues, but
broadens and deepens for years to come," stated Jay Xu, Director
of the Asian Art Museum.

                  About the Asian Art Museum

The Asian Art Museum is a public institution whose mission is to
lead a diverse global audience in discovering the unique material,
aesthetic, and intellectual achievements of Asian art and culture.
Holding more than 17,000 Asian art treasures spanning 6,000 years

Western world devoted exclusively to Asian art.

BCBG MAX: Might Breach Covenant, Says S&P; Corporate Cut to CCC+
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Vernon, Calif.-based BCBG Max Azria Group Inc. to
'CCC+' from 'B'.  The outlook is developing.

At the same time, S&P lowered the ratings on the company's
remaining $110 million first-lien term loan to 'CCC+' from 'B'.
The '4' recovery rating on the facility remains unchanged.

"The ratings on BCBG reflect S&P's belief that the company might
breach the total leverage ratio covenant within the near term,
which could strain its liquidity," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Helena Song.  While S&P anticipate reasonably flat
profitability in the near term, the company has very narrow
cushion over its total leverage ratio covenant.  As relatively
weak economic conditions persist, this could lead to some
volatility in operating performance, resulting in a covenant
breach.


BERNARD L MADOFF: Trustee Wins OK for $500MM Union Bancaire Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a federal judge has approved a
$500 million deal between the trustee overseeing the recovery for
victims of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme and Swiss bank Union
Bancaire Privee UBP SA, the largest feeder-fund cash settlement to
date in the case.

As reported in the Dec. 7, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, Irving H. Picard, the trustee for the liquidation of
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, has entered into a
settlement agreement with Union Bancaire Privee, UBP S.A., a Swiss
private bank, and a related entity, M-Invest Limited, a Cayman
Islands corporation.  The Trustee's settlement with UBP and M-
Invest is for no less than $470 million in cash and could reach
$500 million depending on the outcome of other related actions.

"The UBP settlement agreement is the largest feeder fund bank cash
settlement to date and the first major international bank
settlement, two important milestones for the overall recovery
initiative," said Mr. Picard, in a December press release
announcing the settlement.  "All of the funds recovered through
the UBP settlement will go into the Customer Fund for distribution
to BLMIS customers with valid claims."

"We believe the agreement and the settlement payment represents a
good faith, reasonable compromise among the parties involved and,
importantly, adds a guaranteed half-billion dollars to the BLMIS
Customer Fund sooner rather than later, without the need for
protracted litigation," said David J. Sheehan, counsel to the
Trustee and a partner at Baker & Hostetler LLP, the court-
appointed counsel for Mr. Picard.

UBP is a private bank organized under Swiss law and based in
Geneva, Switzerland.  M-Invest is a Cayman Islands corporation,
created by UBP for the sole purpose of investing assets into
BLMIS.  M-Invest's directors held management level positions at
UBP.

Upon approval of the settlement agreement and receipt by the
Trustee of the settlement payment, all claims by the Trustee
against UBP and M-Invest in connection with BLMIS will be
resolved.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Commission on January 5, 2011, Swank Capital, LLC, disclosed that
it beneficially owns 3,516,315 shares of Blueknight Energy

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in Tulsa, Okla., in its report on the
Partnership's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2009, expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the
Partnership has substantial long-term debt, a deficit in partners'
capital, and significant litigation uncertainties.


BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL: S&P Raises Long-Term Rating to 'B-'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its long-term
corporate credit rating on Valcourt, Que.-based recreational
products manufacturer Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. to
'B-' from 'CCC'.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its rating on the company's
C$270 million senior secured revolving credit facility two notches
to 'B+' from 'B-'.  The recovery rating on BRP's revolving credit
facility is unchanged at '1', indicating an expectation of very
high (90%-100%) recovery in a default scenario.  In addition, S&P
raised its rating on BRP's US$790 million senior secured term loan
B three notches to 'B-' from 'CCC-', and revised the recovery
rating to '4' from '5'.  The '4' recovery rating indicates an
expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery in the event of a
payment default, in contrast to a '5' recovery rating, which
indicates an expectation of modest (10%-30%) recovery.

"The upgrade reflects what S&P views as the continued
strengthening of BRP's financial risk profile," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Lori Harris.  "It is also based on
the termination of the company's program to buy back up to
US$250 million in debt below par on Dec. 31, 2010, which S&P
viewed as a distressed exchange offer," Ms. Harris added.  BRP's
improved operating performance, credit protection measures, and
liquidity are largely due to management's focus on streamlining
the business and cutting costs.

The ratings on BRP reflect Standard & Poor's assessment of the
company's vulnerable business risk profile and weak credit
protection measures because of the volatility in revenue and
operating profit in the past couple of years due to the
discretionary nature of its products.  Since 2008, BRP's revenue
and profit both experienced sharp declines over the economic
cycle, which has only begun to improve this fiscal year.  In
addition, competition remains intense within the industry.

The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that BRP
will sustain the improvement in its operating performance and that
credit ratios will be in line with S&P's expectations in the
medium term.  S&P could consider raising the ratings if BRP
continues to strengthen its operating performance and credit
measures despite the potential for poor weather, a weakened
economy, increased competitive activity, or a sizable dividend
payment.  Alternatively, S&P could lower the ratings if the
company's financial flexibility weakens materially because of poor
operating performance or sizable dividends.


BONTEN MEDIA: S&P Cuts Ratings to 'CCC+' on Inadequate Liquidity
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on New York City-based TV broadcaster Bonten Media Group
Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The rating outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level ratings on the
company's senior secured credit facilities to 'CCC+' from 'B-', in
conjunction with the corporate credit rating change.  The recovery
rating on this debt remains unchanged at '3', indicating S&P's
expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default.

S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on Bonten Media's senior
subordinated toggle notes to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'.  The recovery
rating on this debt is unchanged at '6', indicating S&P's
expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery for noteholders in
the event of a payment default.

"The ratings downgrade reflects Bonten Media's less than adequate
liquidity in the face of the requirement to resume cash interest
payments on its toggle notes in December 2011," explained Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Deborah Kinzer.

"The company has been paying interest in kind on its toggle notes
since late 2008, but its discretionary cash flow is still minimal
and is likely to shrink in the absence of political ad revenue in
2011.  In S&P's view, the company could have difficulty
maintaining sufficient liquidity to enable it to meet the cash
interest payments on its notes."

S&P's rating on Bonten Media reflects the TV broadcaster's
strained liquidity, very thin margin of covenant compliance, and
the requirement that it resume paying cash interest on its toggle
notes in December 2011.  These factors underscore S&P's financial
risk profile assessment of the company as highly leveraged.  S&P
views the company's business risk profile as vulnerable because of
its relatively narrow revenue and cash flow diversification.

Bonten Media operates 16 TV stations in eight small and midsize
markets ranging in size from No. 91 (Tri-Cities, Tenn.-Va.) to No.
196 (San Angelo, Texas).  Small markets have smaller pools of ad
revenue and offer correspondingly low revenue and margin
potential.  Most of the company's stations are affiliated with
NBC, ABC, or Fox.  Revenue diversification is very narrow, with
the top two markets contributing more than half of revenue.

BOZEL S.A.: Gets Final OK to Obtain $8,000,000 DIP Loan From JMC
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
has issued its final order granting Bozel S.A. permission to
obtain postpetition financing of up to $8,000,000 on a
superpriority basis pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Post-petition Credit and Security Agreement, by and between the
Debtor, Bozel Brazil, and Bozel France, as borrowers, and Japan
Metals & Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("JMC"), as lender.

Each Revolving Advance will bear interest at 4% per annum.
The DIP loan will mature on the earliest of (i) March 31, 2011,
(ii) the Acquisition Closing Date or (iii) thirty days following
the date on which the Bankruptcy Court disapproves of JMC as the
preferred bidder or stalking horse bidder for the Bozel Share
Purchase.

The Loan is unsecured as to Bozel.  The Bozel subsidiaries pledge,
assign and grant to JMC, a lien on and security interest in
substantially all of their assets.

Bozel will use the proceeds of the postpetition financing to fund
working capital, to maintain the estate's property, and to
administer its Chapter 11 case.

Lender is granted, pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code, an allowed superpriority administrative expense
claim in this case, with priority over any and all administrative
expense claims and unsecured claims against the Debtor or its
estate in this case, subordinate only to the Carve-Out, as
provided in the Postpetition Credit Agreement.

The Court ordered that the automatic stay under section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code is vacated and modified to the extent necessary to
permit Lender to exercise, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Postpetition
Credit Agreement), and the giving of 15 days' prior written notice
to the Debtor, all rights and remedies against the Collateral (as
defined in the Postpetition Credit Agreement) provided for in the
Postpetition Credit Agreement and this Final Order.

Consulting is the financial advisor.  The Debtor estimated assets

BRITISH AMERICAN: U.S. Court Recognizes BVI Liquidation Proceeding
------------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that the recognition of a corporate debtor's
liquidation proceeding in a court of the British Virgin Islands
would not so severely impinge the value and import of United
States statutory or constitutional rights that the bankruptcy
court would be unable to carry out the most fundamental policies
and purposes of such rights due to the conflict of interest on the
part of the liquidator, who had a competing fiduciary role as the
judicial manager for the debtor's parent company, which was the
debtor's largest creditor, and who, as the debtor's liquidator,
had entered into a confidentiality agreement with the parent
company that was not disclosed to the BVI court.  Therefore, the
bankruptcy court could not rely upon Chapter 15's public policy
exception to deny the liquidator's request for the recognition of
the liquidation proceeding as a foreign main proceeding.  In re
British American Isle of Venice (BVI), Ltd., --- B.R. ----, 2010
WL 5209232 (Bankr. S.D. Fla.).!

A copy of the Honorable Erik P. Kimball's recognition order dated
Dec. 23, 2010, is available at http://is.gd/ksBhRfrom Leagle.com

Casey McDonald, the British Virgin Islands liquidator for British
American Isle of Venice (BVI), Ltd, filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 10-21627) on April 29, 2010.  Mr.
McDonald is represented by Leyza F. Blanco, Esq., at Gray Robinson
in Miami, Fla.  At the time of the filing, the liquidator
estimated British American Isle of Venice (BVI), Ltd's asset at
less than $10 million and its debts at more than $100 million.
Two affiliates -- British American Insurance Company Limited
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 09-31881) and British American

are also subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.


BROWN PUBLISHING: Wants Plan Exclusivity Extended Until April 5
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brown Publishing Company and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York to further
extend the exclusive period to solicit acceptances of their plan
until April 5, 2011, when the confirmation hearing of their plan
is set to take place.  The Debtor's exclusive solicitation period
will expire on Jan. 26, 2011, absent an extension.

The Debtors state the Bankruptcy Court has adjourned (a) the
Disclosure Statement Hearing to Feb. 8, 2011, and (b) the
Confirmation Hearing to April 5, 2011.

Edward M. Fox, Esq., at K&L Gates LLP, relates that the Debtors,
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and PNC Bank N.A.,
as agent to the Debtors' prepetition secured first lien lenders,
are in talks regarding a global resolution of the primary
outstanding issues in the Chapter 11 cases and the adversary
proceeding commenced by the Committee against the Debtors'
prepetition secured first lien lenders (Adv. Pro. No. 10-8300),
with the ultimate goal of achieving the consensual confirmation of
a Chapter 11 plan.

CLAIRE'S STORES: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off in Secondary Market
---------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Claire's Stores is
a borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.95 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, January 7, 2011, according to
data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in The Wall
Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.58 percentage
points from the previous week, The Journal relates.  The Journal
relates.  The Company pays 275 basis points above LIBOR to borrow
under the facility.  The bank loan matures on May 29, 2014, and
carries Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The
loan is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 185 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading for the week ended Friday.

About Claire's Stores

Claire's Stores, Inc. -- http://www.clairestores.com/-- operates
as a specialty retailer of fashion accessories and jewelry for
preteens and teenagers, as well as for young adults in North
America and internationally.  It offers jewelry products that
comprise costume jewelry, earrings, and ear piercing services; and
accessories, including fashion accessories, hair ornaments,
handbags, and novelty items.

Based in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Claire's Stores operates under
two brands: Claire's(R), which operates worldwide and Icing(R),
which operates only in North America.  As of January 31, 2009,
Claire's Stores, Inc., operated 2,969 stores in North America and
Europe.  Claire's Stores, Inc., also operates through its
subsidiary, Claire's Nippon, Co., Ltd., 213 stores in Japan as a
50:50 joint venture with AEON, Co., Ltd.  The Company also
franchises 198 stores in the Middle East, Turkey, Russia, South
Africa, Poland and Guatemala.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 30, 2010, showed $2.79 billion
in total assets, $218.86 million in total current liabilities,
$2.62 billion in long-term debt, and a stockholders' deficit of
$47.89 million.

Claire's Stores carries 'Caa2' corporate family and probability of
default ratings, with 'positive' outlook, from Moody's Investors
Service, and 'B-' issuer credit ratings, with 'stable' outlook,
from Standard & Poor's.

Moody's Investors Service in December 2010 upgraded Claire's
Stores' ratings, including its Corporate Family Rating and
Probability of Default Rating, to Caa2 from Caa3.  The upgrade
reflects a decrease in Claire's probability of default given that
the company can now fully cover its interest expense.  This is due
to earnings improvement from solid comparable store sales growth,
improved merchandise margins, and continued expense discipline.

Claire's Caa2 Probability of Default Rating reflects Moody's view
that although Claire's credit metrics have improved, they remain
very weak as a result of its heavy debt load.  For the twelve
months ending October 30, 2010, Claire's debt to EBITDA was very
high at 9.3 times.

COMMUNITY CENTRAL: Has Until June 28 to Regain Nasdaq Compliance
----------------------------------------------------------------
On December 30, 2010, Community Central Bank Corporation received
a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the minimum
market value of the Company's publicly held shares of common stock
was below $1,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days and that the
Company was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace
Rule 5550(a)(5).  The notification letter does not affect the
listing of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market
at this time and it will continue to trade under the symbol CCBD.

The notification letter states that the Company will be afforded
180 calendar days, or until June 28, 2011, to regain compliance
with the minimum market value requirement.  To regain compliance,
the minimum market value of the Company's publicly held shares of
common stock must meet or exceed $1,000,000 for at least ten
consecutive business days.  If the Company does not regain
compliance by June 28, 2011, Nasdaq will provide the Company a
written notification that its common stock will be delisted.

During the 180-day calendar period, the Company will monitor the
market value of the publicly held shares of its common stock and
will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and
regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum market value
requirement.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to regain or maintain compliance with the minimum market
value rule or other listing criteria.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$513.7 million in total assets, $501.6 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $12.1 million.

"As of September 30, 2010, due to the Corporation's significant
net loss from operations in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, deterioration in the credit quality of the
loan portfolio, and the decline in the level of its regulatory
capital to support operations, there is substantial doubt about
the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern," the
Corporation said in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30,
2010.

The Bank is currently subject to a "consent order" with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Michigan Office of
Financial and Insurance Regulation and is "significantly
undercapitalized" under the FDIC's prompt corrective action (PCA)
rules and accordingly is operating under significant operating
restrictions.  The Consent Order requires Community Central Bank
to take corrective measures in a number of areas to strengthen and
improve the Bank's financial condition and operations.  The
Consent Order is effective as of November 1, 2010.  By entering
into the Consent Order, the Bank is directed and has agreed to
increase board oversight and conduct an independent study of
management, improve regulatory capital ratios, charge-off certain
classified assets, reduce its level of loan delinquencies and
problem assets, limit lending to certain borrowers, revise lending
and collection policies, adopt and implement new profit, strategic
and liquidity plans, and correct loan underwriting and credit

CREDITWEST CORP: Debtor Withdraws Plan; Committee Plan Confirmed
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Alan Jaroslovsky of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California confirmed the second modified
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization filed by the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors of CreditWest Corporation.

Judge Jaroslovsky appointed Linda Green as liquidating trustee of
the Debtor's estate.  Ms. Green is authorized to sell certain
assets of the estate to Automotive Funding Group Inc. dba County
Financial Services under the terms of the Committee's Plan, as
modified.

Under the Committee Plan, on or before the closing date, the
accounts receivable and other assets of the estate will be sold to
the successful bidder pursuant to terms substantially similar to
the asset purchase agreement.  This sale will be free and clear of
all liens, claims, and interests.  The confirmation order will
constitute the requisite authority for the estate to consummate
the sale.

According to the court document, the Debtor and secured creditor
Texas Capital Bank objected to the Committee Plan.  But both
withdrew their objections to confirmation, and in the case of the
Debtor, withdrew its competing plan of reorganization.

DAIRY PRODUCTION: Can Use AFS's Cash Collateral Until February 28
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Georgia, in a
third interim order dated December 22, 2010, granted Dairy
Production Systems-Georgia LLC, et al., permission to use cash
collateral of Agricultural Funding Solutions, LLC, including
collections from accounts receivables and other cash and income
generated from the operation of the Debtors' businesses, until
February 28, 2011, at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern).  Expenses not
specifically identified in the Budget for the period starting
December 13, 2010, and ending the week of March 7, 2011, are not
allowed to be paid from cash collateral.

The motion to use cash collateral on a final basis is continued to
February 22, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern).

As adequate protection for the Debtors' use of cash collateral,
AFS is granted a first priority replacement lien on all post-
petition property of the Debtors, subject only to validly
perfected and enforceable senior pre-petition liens, security
interests or rights of setoff or recoupment.  As additional
adequate protection of AFS' interest in the cash collateral, but
only to the extent the Debtors' post-petition property is
insufficient to protect AFS for the Debtor's use of its cash
collateral, AFS is granted a first priority lien in all
prepetition property and assets of the Debtor not subject to valid
liens or security interests on the petition date.

As further adequate protection, to the extent that the other forms
of adequate protection granted are insufficient to protect its
interest, AFS is granted super-priority administrative claims
pursuant to Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on October 26, 2010,
as of the Petition Date, the Debtors were indebted to AFS in the
amount of at least $72,371,851 exclusive of accruing interest,
fees, and costs.  The Lender holds valid, perfected liens and
security interests in all or substantially all of the Debtors'
real and personal property and all assets and all proceeds
thereof, including all cash collateral.

DARA BIOSCIENCES: Regains NASDAQ Stockholders' Equity Compliance
----------------------------------------------------------------
DARA BioSciences, Inc. disclosed that, on January 5, 2011, NASDAQ
notified the Company that it has regained compliance with the
minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on
The NASDAQ Capital Market, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule
5550(b)(1).  On December 30, 2010, the Company filed a Current
Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission
evidencing stockholders' equity of approximately $5.6 million on a
pro forma basis as of November 30, 2010, following completion of
the Company's registered public offering, as variously described
in the Company's press releases dated December 28 and 29, 2010,
and January 4, 2011.  Accordingly, the NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Panel has determined to continue the Company's
listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market and the previously announced
delisting proceedings are now closed.

On August 18, 2010, DARA received notice from the Listing
Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC indicating
that the Company did not satisfy the minimum stockholders' equity
requirement and that its securities were therefore subject to
delisting.  The Company appealed the Staff's determination and
appeared before the Panel in October 2010.

DAVIS HERITAGE: Court Orders Dismissal of Chapter 11 Case
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Florida
issued on January 3, 2011, an order granting creditor Inervest
Capital, Ltd.'s motion to Davis Heritage GP Holdings, LLC's
Chapter 11 case, citing, among other things, that the Debtor's
Chapter 11 case was a bad faith filing and that the Debtor does
not own anything that it can reorganize.

The Debtor owns one parcel of vacant land in Mississippi that is
fully encumbered and the only other Section 541 property of the
estate is the Debtor's ownership interests in certain Middle Tier
LLCs whose only assets are its membership interests in certain
Lower Tier LLCs which own pieces of the real property that are not
Section 541 property of the estate.  With the dismissal of the
Debtor's case, Inervest can continue its levy on the Debtor's
membership interests in the Middle Tier LLCs.

Newberry, Florida-based Davis Heritage GP Holdings, LLC, owns 100%
membership interests in seven single-member LLCs and an undivided
0.0095% interest in an eighth LLC (together, the "Middle Tier
LLCs").  The Middle Tier LLCs have no employees, no income, and no
expenses.  The Middle Tier LLCs own nothing except for memberships
in similarly named single member LLCs (collectively, the "Lower
Tier LLCs").  The Debtor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. N.D. Fla. Case No. 10-10515) on September 26,
2010.  Justin M. Luna, Esq., at Latham,
Shuker, Eden & Beaudine, LLP, serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy
counsel.  In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed assets of
$2,578,444 and liabilities of $22,852,728 as of the petition date.

DAYCO PROPERTIES: MUNB Loan Holdings Seeks to Foreclose on Condo
----------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Bandell, writing for South Florida Business Journal, reports
that MUNB Loan Holdings filed a foreclosure lawsuit Dec. 17
against Ponce Trust, Dayco Properties and managing member Franco
D'Agostino.

Business Journal says MUNB Loan Holdings targets the 85 remaining
units in the office condominium at 1600 Ponce de Leon Blvd., in
downtown Coral Gables, Fla.

Business Journal relates the project was financed through a
$50 million mortgage granted in 2007 by Mellon United Nation Bank.
After the bank was acquired by Banco Sabadell, the loan was sold
to MUNB, an affiliate of Bank of New York Mellon.  The mortgage
with Ponce Trust was last modified at $32.4 million in August.

Business Journal says Ponce Trust sold 44 of its 129 units -- with
the most recent sale in November.  The loan was scheduled to
mature Jan. 8.

Alan Grunspan, Esq., in Miami, represents MUNB in the lawsuit.


DEEP DOWN: Cuming Acquisition Completed, Joint Venture Formed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Deep Down, Inc., announced the formation of a new joint venture,
Cuming Flotation Technologies, LLC with an affiliate of York
Capital Management, for the purpose of combining the operations of
Cuming Corporation and Deep Down's Flotation Technologies
subsidiary as of December 31, 2010.  Under the terms of the joint
venture agreement with York, Deep Down contributed the assets and
liabilities of Flotation Technologies Inc. into a new entity,
Flotation Tech, LLC plus $1.4 million in cash to the JV in
exchange for a 20% equity interest, and York contributed $22.35
million in cash in exchange for an 80% interest.  The cash
contributions will be used to partially fund the acquisition of
Cuming Corporation by the JV, with York providing a bridge loan to
fund the balance of the $42 million purchase price and to provide
working capital.  To fund its cash contribution to the JV, Deep
Down issued 20 million shares of common stock to York at $0.07 per
share for total proceeds of $1.4 million.  This issuance of stock
was substantially offset by the return of 18 million shares of
common stock previously issued in connection with the Cuming
acquisition.

As an important part of this transaction, Deep Down has entered
into two agreements with the JV.  Under a Management Services
Agreement, Deep Down will provide certain technical,
administrative and management services to the venture on a cost
reimbursable basis.  Secondly, a Sales and Service Agreement will
provide a platform for Deep Down, Cuming Corporation and Flotec to
combine their product and service offerings to better serve the
worldwide market.

The JV is expected to generate more than a $100 million of
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Deep Down will use
the equity method of accounting to recognize its proportionate
share of the earnings of the JV.

Deep Down's CEO, Ron Smith, commented, "This joint venture allows
Deep Down and its shareholders to participate in the benefits of
combining our flotation technologies business with Cuming
Corporation, without the dilutive impact of financing the
acquisition through the issuance of a large amount of equity.  We
believe York will make a strong partner that is supportive of our
objective of creating a global leader in syntactic foam products
and services primarily for the offshore oil and gas markets.  The
benefits of combining these manufacturing operations, as well as
the additional opportunities stemming from the other agreements,
will create significant value for our shareholders."

The Company's working capital declined by $1.7 million to negative
$554,000 at September 30, 2010 from $1.2 million at December 31,
2009 primarily as a result of reclassifying $2.5 million of its
long-term debt to current liabilities.  All of the debt from one
of the Company's lenders in the amount of $3.2 million is due
April 15, 2011.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in
compliance with all financial covenants associated with this debt.
The Company is currently in discussions with several lenders who
have expressed interest in refinancing the Company's debt.

Deep Down reported a net loss of $3.36 million after a
$4.5 million non-cash impairment of goodwill, on revenues of $11.4
million for three months ended Sept. 30, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $2.09 million on revenues of $8.4 million during the same

DELTA PETROLEUM: Closes on $100-Mil. Loan Facility from Macquarie
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Delta Petroleum Corporation announced that it has closed on a new
senior secured credit facility with Macquarie Bank Limited.

The new credit facility is for $100 million, of which $50 million
will be initially available to the Company.  The $50 million is
comprised of a $30 million revolving line of credit (Tranche A)
and a $20 million advancing term loan (Tranche B).  The interest
rate is Libor plus 7% or Prime plus 6% for Tranche A borrowings
and Libor plus 9% or Prime plus 8% for Tranche B borrowings, and
is subject to a 2% closing fee on the initial commitment amount.
The credit facility matures on January 31, 2012.  The new credit
facility replaces Delta's prior credit facility.

Carl Lakey, President and CEO of Delta Petroleum, stated, "The
closing of this new credit facility is yet another step in the
restoration of the financial flexibility Delta needs to
successfully execute on its focused business plan of creating
greater value from its core asset in the Piceance Basin."

The Credit Agreement requires Delta to meet certain financial
tests, including a ratio of current assets to current liabilities,
minimum quarterly net operating cash flow, and maximum quarterly
general and administrative expenses.  The Credit Agreement also
contains additional covenants which, among other things, require
Delta to deliver to the lenders specified financial information,
including annual and quarterly financial information, and limit
Delta's ability to, subject to various exceptions and limitations,
(i) merge with other companies; (ii) create liens on its property;
(iii) incur additional indebtedness; (iv) enter into transactions
with affiliates, except on an arms-length basis; (v) enter into
sale leaseback transactions; (vi) pay dividends or make certain
other restricted payments; (vii) make certain investments; and
(viii) sell its assets.

areas of operations are the Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast Regions,
which comprise the majority of its proved reserves, production and
long-term growth prospects.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed $1.14
billion in total assets, $242.79 million in total current
liabilities, $358.34 million in total long-term liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $545.21 million.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 15, 2010,
KPMG LLP, in Denver, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern after auditing
the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2009.  The independent auditors noted of the Company's ongoing
losses and working capital deficiency, and that in addition,
outstanding borrowings under the Company's credit facility are due
January 15, 2011.

In January 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services 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.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's has changed Dex One Corporation's outlook to negative from
stable based on Moody's concerns that the pace of decline in
revenue and new orders (as indicated by the company's advertising
sales), which is faster than Moody's had anticipated, will persist
despite a recovery in overall U.S. advertising spending.  Although
improved from the cycle's trough of 4Q'09, Dex One's advertising
sales were down 15% for 3Q'10 amidst a generally improving
advertising sector.  Continued weakness in ad sales relative to
expected spending in other print-based channels and the overall
advertising market suggests that the cyclical recovery in client
advertising spending is not stabilizing revenue in the directory
industry.  Moody's thus believes the magnitude of the structural
challenges the directory industry faces is more severe than
previously anticipated.

Moody's has taken these rating actions:

Issuer: Dex One Corporation

  -- Outlook: Revised to Negative from Stable
  -- Corporate Family Rating: B1, unchanged
  -- Probability of Default Rating: B1, unchanged
  -- Senior Subordinate: B3 -- LGD6 (95%), unchanged
  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity: SGL-2, unchanged

Issuer: RH Donnelley Inc

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility: B1 -- LGD3 (43%),
     unchanged

Issuer: Dex Media East LLC

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility: B1 -- LGD3 (43%),
     unchanged

Issuer: Dex Media West LLC

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility: Ba3 -- LGD3 (42%),
     unchanged

"The directory publishing business has been left out of the mild
recovery that has occurred within the U.S. print advertising
industry" commented Moody's Senior Vice President Dennis Saputo.
Moody's estimates that the directory publishing industry is
lagging behind other print-based media sectors, some of which will
return to growth in 2011.  Moody's anticipate another double-digit
percentage decline in ad sales for directory publishers this year.

Dex One faces increasing competition from the rapidly evolving
online and mobile business directory services industry, and the
lingering effects of the recent recession continue to pressure
revenues.  While the company is attempting to transition its
business by reducing its reliance on print advertising through
development of online and mobile directory service applications,
Moody's is increasingly concerned that the company will not be
able to effect this change at a pace that would allow it to
stabilize its revenues over the intermediate term.  Further, Dex
One's high fixed costs could lead to steep margin compression
despite the company's efforts to aggressively manage down its cost
base.

Dex One has good liquidity based on Moody's projection of
$150 million in cash at year end 2010 and continued positive free
cash flow.  Similar to its competitors, the company requires
minimal capital investment, well below internally generated cash
flows.

Moody's could downgrade Dex One's ratings if the company's
revenues continue to decline at a double digit percentage rate, if
it becomes unable to generate free cash flow, or if its liquidity
becomes strained.

Moody's last rating action was on January 26, 2010, when the
company's ratings were assigned following its exit from bankruptcy
restructuring.

Dex One's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors that Moody's
considers relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as
the company's (i) business risk and competitive position compared
with others within the industry; (ii) capital structure and
financial risk; (iii) projected performance over the near to
intermediate term; and (iv) management's track record and
tolerance for risk.  Moody's compared these attributes against
other issuers both within and outside Dex One's core industry and
believes Dex One's ratings are comparable to those of other
issuers with similar credit risk.

Dex One, headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, is a local
business marketing services company that includes print
directories and online voice and mobile search.  Revenue was
approximately $1.1 billion for the LTM period ended September 30,
2010.

DYCOM INVESTMENTS: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Rating to $175 Mil. Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba3 rating to Dycom
Investments, Inc.'s proposed $175 million, ten year senior
subordinated notes.  Concurrently, the outlook was changed from
negative to stable based on Dycom's ability to effectively control
costs, maintain very good liquidity and opportunity to capitalize
on positive trends in wireless backhaul and expansion of broadband
in rural areas of the U.S.  All ratings, including the Ba2
corporate family rating, have been affirmed.  Dycom maintains a
speculative grade liquidty rating of SGL-1 characterized by
healthy cash balances, expectation of positive cash from
operations over the next twelve months, and no near-term debt
maturities.

Ratings assigned:

Dycom Investments, Inc.

  -- Proposed $175 million senior subordinated notes due 2021, Ba3
     (LGD-5, 75%)

Ratings affirmed:

Dycom Industries Inc.

  -- Corporate family rating at Ba2

  -- Probability of default rating at Ba2

  -- SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity

  -- Outlook changed to stable

  -- Existing senior subordinated notes due 2015, Ba3 (LGD-5,
     78%)*

* The Ba3 rating on Dycom's existing senior subordinated notes
  will remain LGD-5, 78% pending their planned redemption.

These ratings have been assigned subject to Moody's review of
final documentation following completion of the notes offering.
Assuming substantially all of the notes are redeemed, the
instrument rating will be withdrawn.  For additional information,
please refer to the Credit Opinion to be posted on moodys.com.

                        Ratings Rationale

The change in rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation of
continued improvements in profitability as demonstrated by signs
of year-over-year revenue growth, increased capital spending by
some of Dycom's top telecommunications customers combined with an
expectation that the company's operating results would benefit
from an improvement in overall domestic economic conditions.
Further, the change in outlook anticipates that Dycom will
maintain its strong liquidity and low leverage while investing its
free cash flow prudently among acquisitions and share repurchases.
The stable outlook anticipates modest revenue growth in fiscal
2011 and fiscal 2012.  The stability of the outlook is sensitive
to the telecommunications and cable industry cycles, the company's
success at renewing its many master service agreements and the
continuation of positive end-market trends, including increased
outsourcing by the major providers and carriers and the consumers'
need for greater bandwidth.

Proceeds from the issuance of the proposed subordinated notes
are expected to be used in part to repurchase the existing
$135 million of senior subordinated notes with the majority of
the remaining proceeds expected to be used for working capital and
general corporate purposes.  Moody's expects that the notes will
be issued on a subordinated basis and will be guaranteed by Dycom
Industries, Inc., the parent company, as well as all downstream
domestic subsidiaries on a senior unsecured subordinated basis.
The notes are expected to be sold according to Rule 144A.  The
notes also may be offered and sold in offshore transactions in
reliance on Regulation S.

The Ba2 corporate family rating balances low financial leverage,
ability to control direct expenses, and a strong liquidity profile
against economically sensitive demand, a competitive industry and
a relatively high re-investment requirement.  Capital expenditure
budgets of major telecommunications and cable television
providers, which are subject to both seasonality and cyclicality,
drive Dycom's revenues.  Increased outsourcing by the major
broadband carriers and consumers' need for greater bandwidth bode
well for long-term demand prospects.  As a specialized
construction business exposed to long-term demand trends for
telecommunication network maintenance and expansion spending, the
Ba2 corporate family rating encompasses some tolerance for
cyclicality.

However, Dycom's return measures and EBIT-to-interest ratio
presently remain weak for the rating category.  On a pro forma
basis at October 30, 2010, using Moody's standard adjustments,
debt/EBITDA is in the mid-2 times range and EBITA/interest is in
the 1.5 times range.  Financial leverage remains low enough that a
pick-up in revenue and earnings would translate into return and
coverage metrics more on par with the Ba2 corporate family rating.
The rating agency expects continued strong cash from operations
over the next few years.

A ratings increase is considered unlikely at this time given the
highly cyclical nature of the end-markets the company operates in,
the company's revenue scale as well as Dycom's acquisition
strategy.  Positive rating momentum would likely be accompanied by
expectation of strong, sustained revenue growth as well as the
achievement and maintenance of these credit metrics: debt/EBITDA
below 1.5x, EBITA/interest coverage of 3.5 times and return on
assets of approximately 8% or greater.

Large debt financed acquisitions or excessive share repurchases
that diminish the company's liquidity profile or raise leverage
could have adverse rating implications.  Despite low leverage,
Dycom's total return measures and its EBITA/interest ratio are
presently weak for the rating and, if sustained, would drive a
rating downgrade.  Any deceleration in revenue trends, loss of a
key customer and an expectation that the EBITA/interest ratio will
remain below 2.0 times for a prolonged period could have adverse
rating implications as would debt/EBITDA levels exceeding and
sustained above 3.0 times .

Dycom Industries, Inc., located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, is
a leading provider of specialty contracting services in North
America.  Dycom provides engineering, construction and maintenance
services that assist telecommunication and cable television
providers expand and monitor their network infrastructure in a
cost effective manner.  To a lesser extent, Dycom provides
underground locating services for telephone, cable, power, gas,
water, and sewer utilities.  Dycom generated contract revenues of
$991 million for the twelve months ended October 30, 2010.


DYCOM INVESTMENT: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating to $175 Mil. Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned a 'BB-'
issue-level rating to Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.-based Dycom
Industries Inc. wholly owned subsidiary Dycom Investment Inc.'s
proposed new $175 million senior subordinated notes due 2021, one
notch below the parent company's corporate credit rating.

The recovery rating is '5', indicating S&P's expectation of modest
(10%-30%) recovery in the event of a default scenario.  Standard &
Poor's expects the company to use the proceeds from the new notes
to redeem the existing $135 million in 8.125% senior subordinated
notes, for working capital, and for general corporate purposes.
The company has no significant debt maturities until 2015.

"The ratings on Dycom reflect its fair business profile and
significant financial risk profile, highlighted by share
repurchases and some moderate-size acquisitions," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Sarah Wyeth.

Dycom provides services in the engineering and construction
sector.  Roughly three-quarters of its annual sales of about
$1 billion are from specialty contracting services, including
installation and maintenance, which the company provides primarily
to cable and telecommunications companies.  The company also
provides utility-line locating services to those industries and
certain electric utilities and provides electric and other
construction and maintenance services to electric utilities.

unsecured to 'CCC/RR4' from 'B/RR3'; and Dynegy Capital Trust I
preferred to 'C/RR6' from 'CCC/RR6'.

Moody's Investors Service said in December 2010 that it believes
that the ratings and negative rating outlook for Dynegy, Inc., and
its subsidiary, Dynegy Holdings, Inc (Caa1 Corporate Family
Rating) will remain unchanged at this time following the
announcement that its board had agreed to be acquired by Icahn
Enterprises LP for $5.50 per share in cash, or approximately $665

E-DEBIT GLOBAL: Requests Hearing to Appeal Cease Trade Order
------------------------------------------------------------
E-Debit Global Corporation has delivered to the British Columbia
Securities Commission notice requesting a hearing with the
Commission to appeal a Cease Trade Order delivered to E-Debit by
facsimile on December 23, 2010.

"We are very disappointed in the issuance of the British Columbia
Securities Commission "Cease Trade Order" which was delivered to
our Calgary, Alberta headquarters by facsimile at 2:30 pm on
December 23, 2010 and acknowledged by the Company at or near 1:30
pm upon receipt on December 29, 2010," stated Doug Mac Donald, E-
Debit's President and CEO.

"For the past 10 years we have met all our filing requirements
related to our publicly traded status on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board under the trading symbol "WSHE" and have been
continually fully compliant in regards to all regulatory filings
related to our business activities both in Canada and the United
States.

Our advice to date received from the BCSC is they have deemed the
Company's retention of Open Waters Investments Inc. as it's
contracted Investment Relations Firm, as grounds to determine that
E-Debit has a "significant connection" to the Province of British
Columbia and as a result has determined E-Debit Global Corporation
a Colorado corporation, as an OTC reporting issuer under BC
Instrument 51-509 Issuers Quoted in the U.S.  Over-the Counter
Markets (BCI 51-509).  The Company disagrees.

In our notice to the BCSC, the Company outlined its grounds for
appeal as "E-Debit does not have any significant connections with
British Columbia through its management, investor relations, or
sale of seed stock".

The Company has requested that the BCSC set the hearing date of
its appeal at its earliest possible convenience to the Commission
as time is of the essence in this matter for the Company and our
shareholders.

All related correspondence with the BCSC will be posted shortly on
the E-Debit Website for review.  In addition the Company has
requested from the BCSC an exemption to allow for the filing of
our SEC documents on Cedar and be granted reporting issuer status.
The Company will advise the results of its efforts in bringing
this matter to a suitable close as they are received." Mr. Mac
Donald advised.

default scenario.  S&P expects the company to use the proceeds to
refinance existing debt and for general corporate and working
capital purposes.  The company has no significant debt maturities
until 2015.

"The ratings on ECI reflect its weak business risk profile
characterized by its narrow scope of operations; exposure to
stabilizing, but still soft, end markets relative to historical
levels; and meaningful customer concentration.  The business
profile also takes into account the company's leading market
positions in what is typically a stable growth industry," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sarah Wyeth.

ECI manufactures electrical wire harnesses and generated about
$530 million in sales in the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010.  Wire
harnesses are configurations of wires and cables outfitted with
connectors and plugs.  They transmit electricity throughout
appliances or pieces of machinery, such as refrigerators, stoves,
and washing machines.

Auditor Friedman LLP, in New York, after auditing the Company's

believe the Company's rich asset base provides an excellent
platform from which to aggressively grow oil production and

plan with a keen focus on operational efficiency, prudent debt
levels, and strict cost controls with the ultimate goal of
significantly increasing value on a per-share basis."

On December 31, 2010, as partial consideration for the assets

EOS PREFERRED: Parent Consents to OTS Cease and Desist Order
------------------------------------------------------------
On November 30, 2010, Aurora Bank FSB, the parent of EOS Preferred
Corporation, entered into a Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of
Amended Order to Cease and Desist with the Office of Thrift
Supervision whereby the Bank consented to the issuance of an
Amended Order to Cease and Desist issued by the OTS, which amended
the original Cease and Desist Order issued by the OTS on January
26, 2009.  In addition, on November 30, 2010, the OTS terminated
the Prompt Corrective Action Directive, originally issued to the
Bank on February 4, 2009.

The Amended Order did not amend provisions in the Original Order
that require the Bank to ensure that each of its subsidiaries,
including the Corporation, complies with the Original Order as
amended.  These operating restrictions, among other things,
restrict transactions with affiliates, capital distributions,
contracts outside the ordinary course of business and changes in
senior executive officers, board members or their employment
arrangements without prior written notice to the OTS.

Under the Amended Order, the Corporation must continue to seek and
receive approval from the OTS for the declaration, payment and
distribution of dividends to its preferred and common
shareholders.  There is no assurance that the OTS will approve any
request for the declaration, payment or distribution of dividends.
As an operating subsidiary of the Bank, the Corporation remains
subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Amended Order
which would apply to such operating subsidiaries.

On December 17, 2010, the Bank, on behalf of the Corporation
submitted an Application for Capital Distribution to the OTS
requesting permission to pay the fourth quarter 2010 dividends to
the Corporation's preferred and common shareholders.  On December
30, 2010, the OTS provided a non-objection to the Bank permitting
its operating subsidiary, the Corporation, to declare and pay the
fourth quarter 2010 dividends to its shareholders.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Corporation declared on
December 31, 2010, a dividend payable on January 14, 2011, for the
quarter ended December 31, 2010, to holders of record on December
31, 2010 of each of: (1) the Corporation's 8.50% Non-Cumulative
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series D, in the amount of $0.53125
per share; (2) the Corporation's Preferred Stock, Series B, par
value $0.01 per share, in the amount of $20 per share; and (3) the
Corporation's common stock in the amount of $884,385.

The OTS has not approved or provided a non-objection to any
further dividend distributions.  There can be no assurance that
approval or non-objection for the payment of future dividends will
be received from the OTS or when or if such OTS approval
requirement will be removed.  Furthermore, any future dividends on
the Series D preferred stock will be payable only when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors.  The terms of the Series D
preferred stock provide that dividends on the Series D preferred
stock are not cumulative and if no dividend is declared for a
quarterly dividend period, the holders of the Series D preferred
stock will have no right to receive a dividend for that period,
and the Corporation will have no obligation to pay a dividend for
that period, whether or not dividends are declared and paid for
any future period.

In order to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust,
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
Corporation generally is required each year to distribute to its
stockholders at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net
capital gains.  As a REIT, the Corporation generally is not
required to pay federal income tax if it continues to meet this
and a number of other requirements.  If the OTS fails to remove
the requirement for approval and does not grant further approval
or non-objection to the Corporation to pay dividends to its
stockholders in an amount necessary to maintain the Corporation's
REIT qualification prospectively, the Corporation will fail to
qualify as a REIT and, as a result, will be subject to federal
income tax.

Crossing Preferred Corporation) is a Massachusetts corporation

EXECUTIVE AIRPORT: Foreclosure Sale of Offices Set for Jan. 26
--------------------------------------------------------------
South Florida Business Journal's Brian Bandell reports that Bank
of America, representing a CMBS fund, won a foreclosure judgment
against Executive Airport Associates, a company managed by Stewart
Denholtz, over a $3.8 million mortgage, plus interest and fees.
The report relates that the offices at Fort Lauderdale Executive

St. (West Commercial Boulevard).  Tenants include Barry

FIRST COMMERCIAL: Closed, First Southern Bank Assumes Deposits
--------------------------------------------------------------
First Commercial Bank of Florida of Orlando, Fla., was closed on
Friday, January 7, 2011, by the Florida Office of Financial
Regulation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation as receiver.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC
entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with First
Southern Bank of Boca Raton, Fla., to assume all of the deposits
of First Commercial Bank of Florida.

The nine branches of First Commercial Bank of Florida will reopen
during normal banking hours as branches of First Southern Bank.
Depositors of First Commercial Bank of Florida will automatically
become depositors of First Southern Bank.  Deposits will continue
to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to
change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit
insurance coverage up to applicable limits.  Customers of First
Commercial Bank of Florida should continue to use their existing
branch until they receive notice from First Southern Bank that it
has completed systems changes to allow other First Southern Bank
branches to process their accounts as well.

As of September 30, 2010, First Commercial Bank of Florida had
around $598.5 million in total assets and $529.6 million in total
deposits.  First Southern Bank did not pay the FDIC a premium for
the deposits of First Commercial Bank of Florida.  In addition to
assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, First Southern
Bank agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and First Southern Bank entered into a loss-share
transaction on $484.3 million of First Commercial Bank of
Florida's assets.  First Southern Bank will share in the losses on
the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-
share transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets
covered by keeping them in the private sector.  The transaction
also is expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers. For
more information on loss share, visit:

  http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at (800) 423-6395.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

  http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/firstcommercial.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $78.0 million.  Compared to other alternatives, First
Southern Bank's acquisition was the least costly resolution for
the FDIC's DIF.  First Commercial Bank of Florida is the first
FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the
first in Florida.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the
state was The Bank of Miami, Coral Gables, on December 17, 2010.

G. FORCE INVESTMENTS: Terminated Lease Can't Be Assumed
-------------------------------------------------------
Under Ohio law, WestLaw reports, a Chapter 11 debtor's lease was
effectively terminated prepetition when a state court entered a
judgment of entry and awarded a right to retake possession to the
debtor's landlord.  Thus, the debtor could not assume the lease in
bankruptcy.  It did not matter that the debtor's appeal from the
state court's judgment was still pending.  In re G. Force
Investments, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2010 WL 5392888 (Bankr. N.D.

GREAT ATLANTIC: Moody's Assigns 'Ba2' Rating to $450 Mil. Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 rating to the
$450 million super priority senior secured revolver (DIP revolver)
and a rating of B2 to the $350 million super priority senior
secured term loan of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company,
Inc., as Debtor-in-Possession.  Both DIP credit facilities mature
June 14, 2012.  The higher rating of the DIP revolver reflects the
"first out" structure of the facility whereby it will be repaid
prior to the DIP term loan.  Both ratings take into consideration
the size of the DIP facilities versus an estimated recovery value
under either a reorganization or liquidation scenario.

Other key considerations include: the structural features of the
DIP facilities, the nature of the bankruptcy and reorganization,
and the DIP size as a percentage of pre-petition debt.  This
rating is also in the context of the uncertainty of creditor
support for a restructuring plan that provides more than adequate
liquidity to address the challenges of historically low operating
margins, high fixed costs, persistent economic weakness, lack of
strategic direction, and a shrinking revenue base.

Moody's withdrew all previous ratings for A&P on December 16,
2010.  The current ratings are being assigned on a point-in-time
basis and will not be monitored going forward and therefore no
outlook will be assigned.

Ratings assigned to A&P as Debtor-in-Possession are:

  -- $450 million super priority senior secured revolver, rated
     Ba2

  -- $350 million super priority senior secured term loan, rated
     B2

Numerous factors led to A&P's financial problems and subsequent
Chapter 11 filing.  These include the lack of coordinated
business, marketing, and merchandising strategy, heavy debt burden
unfavorable supply and logistics agreements, and significant
employee and pension obligations.  Issues also include challenges
in completing the integration of Pathmark which was acquired in
December 2007, and the expense of continuing to pay rents on over
100 closed stores.  These problems were made worse by high
management turnover, intense price competition within the
supermarket industry, deflationary food pricing environment and
persistent economic weakness.

Although A&P has yet to formulate a definitive restructuring plan,
the bankruptcy process should enable the company to reduce costs
and improve liquidity by closing or divesting unprofitable stores,
rejecting unfavorable leases, renegotiating vendor and union
contracts and moving to a more manageable capital structure.
Despite the company's restructuring efforts, Moody's expects A&P
to be cash flow negative through the term of the credit
facilities.  As a result, the primary source of liquidity during
the next 18 months will be cash balances provided by DIP term
loan, and borrowings under the DIP revolver.  Although Moody's
expects liquidity to be adequate during the term of the DIP credit
facilities, the company's highly concentrated vendor base could
strain liquidity if supply is disrupted or if the company is
unable to renegotiate supply terms with its major vendors
resulting in COD terms.

Moody's is concerned that given the magnitude of problems facing
A&P, it may be unable to successfully complete a restructuring and
exit from Chapter 11 bankruptcy over the term of its DIP credit
agreements.  It will be difficult for the company to cut costs and
improve operating margins while making much needed investments in
store improvements -- especially when cost cuts would need to
include concessions from employee unions.  Additionally, an
extended period of underperformance and lack of strategic
direction has resulted in brand erosion which may be difficult to
reverse.  A&P has hired a new management team with restructuring
and turnaround experience to take on these challenges.

Both the DIP credit facilities contain upstream guarantees from
all principal operating subsidiaries and benefit from a security
package that includes a first lien on all unencumbered assets of
the company and its subsidiaries.  These assets include capital
stock and material owned real estate.  Facilities also receive
first priority priming liens on all assets securing pre-petition
debt.

The DIP revolver has better protection for lenders than does the
DIP term loan as it has a borrowing base structure with advances
primarily against eligible inventory, receivables, and owned real
estate regulates cash advances based on the availability of
collateral protection.  The DIP term loan is structured as a
"first in last out" facility.  Therefore in a default scenario
borrowings under the DIP revolver must be repaid before any
repayment is made to the DIP term loan lenders.  Additionally, all
mandatory prepayments associated with asset sales, insurance
awards, and debt issuance will be first applied to amounts owed
under the DIP revolver, second to cash collateralize letter of
credit utilizations, and third to the DIP term loan.  No voluntary
prepayments can be made to DIP term loan lenders until the DIP
revolver is fully repaid.

With regards to the value of collateral coverage available to the
DIP lenders, A&P's business model results in a relatively low
level of tangible asset value overall.  The use of operating
leases limits real estate ownership while the value of inventories
is limited by its perishable nature.  Moody's estimate a
conservative valuation (after discounts from reported and
appraised valuations) of A&P's tangible current assets,
unencumbered real estate, leaseholds and leasehold improvements as
of December 4, 2010, to be approximately $620 million.  While this
valuation would be more than sufficient to cover the maximum
allowed utilization under the $450 million DIP revolver, it would
result in some level of impairment for the $350 million DIP term
loan.

The DIP credit agreement contains a number of negative covenants
which include a minimum excess availability covenant which
requires the company to maintain a minimum of $100 million in
excess revolver availability (gradually reducing to $50 million on
November 5, 2011).  This effectively reduces the maximum allowed
utilization of the DIP revolver, thereby affording better
protection and coverage for DIP lenders.

Further support to DIP lenders is provided by a minimum liquidity
covenant that requires the company to maintain minimum
unrestricted cash balance of $100 million through the term of the
DIP credit facilities resulting in improved collateral coverage
for the DIP lenders on a net debt basis.  In addition, the DIP
credit agreement also includes a covenant requiring minimum
cumulative EBITDA amounts for periods commencing April 24, 2011
through April 21, 2012, and a minimum twelve month trailing EBITDA
covenant of $150 million on May 19, 2012, and $175 million on
June 16, 2012.

A&P is a supermarket chain operating 395 stores in the northeast
US.  The company operates its business through four segments
consisting of complementary formats: Fresh (A&P, Waldbaum's and
Superfresh), Price Impact (Pathmark), Gourmet (Food Emporium) and
Discount (Food Basics, Best Cellars and A&P liquor stores).


GREAT ATLANTIC: S&P Assigns Ratings to $800 Mil. Credit Facility
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned ratings to The
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. Inc.'s $800 million debtor-in-
possession credit facility.  The company's corporate credit rating
remains 'D'.  A&P filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code on Dec. 13, 2010.

On Jan. 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's Rating Services assigned
ratings to A&P's $800 million DIP credit facility comprised
of a $450 million first-out revolving credit facility and a
$350 million second-out term loan due June 2012.  S&P rates the
$450 million revolving credit facility 'BB+' and the $350 million
DIP term loan 'BB-'.  The higher rating on the DIP revolver
reflects its senior repayment position relative to the term loan
under a liquidation scenario and S&P's expectation that the
revolving facility has good repayment prospects even in a
liquidation scenario.

"The rating reflects S&P's view of the likelihood of repayment of
the DIP loans in full upon the company's reorganization and
emergence from bankruptcy," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Ana Lai, "as well as S&P's assessment of lenders' prospect for
full recovery of principal in the event that liquidation becomes
necessary."  The DIP loan ratings are point-in-time ratings
assigned on the date S&P performed the analysis, based on
information provided and available at such time and the
assumptions that S&P outlines in this report.  These ratings will
be withdrawn shortly after publishing and Standard & Poor's will
not review, modify, or monitor the ratings based on subsequent
information or changes to market conditions.

"S&P believes that A&P remains a viable business and the company's
likely reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy are supported
by its good market position as a supermarket operator in the New
York and New Jersey metropolitan areas," added Ms. Lai, "as well
as prospects for meaningfully reducing its high cost structure in
bankruptcy (through lease rejections, supply agreement and labor
negotiations), and S&P's belief that it should have sufficient
liquidity to complete necessary restructuring actions."  S&P also
believes there is potential for A&P to improve sales through
changes in its merchandising and promotional strategies, but this
may take some time since it is difficult to regain customer
loyalty following its past ineffective promotional strategies and
subpar store execution.  While A&P faces various challenges and
risks that may hinder its ability to restructure its debt, fully
realign its cost structure, and obtain necessary financing to
emerge from bankruptcy, S&P believes that reorganization is a more
likely scenario for the company than liquidation.



GUITAR CENTER: Bank Debt Trades at 7% Off in Secondary Market
-------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Guitar Center,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.29 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, January 7, 2011,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.23
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The Journal relates.  The Company pays 350 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank loan matures on
October 9, 2014, and carries Moody's Caa1 rating and Standard &
Poor's B1 rating.  The loan is one of the biggest gainers and
losers among 185 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more
bids in secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

Guitar Center, Inc., headquartered in Westlake Village, Calif., is
the largest musical instrument etailer with 312 stores and a
direct response segment, which operates its websites.  It operates
three distinct musical retail business - Guitar Center (about 70%
of revenue), Music & Arts (about 7% of revenue), and Musician's
Friend (its direct response subsidiary with 24% of revenue).
Total revenue is about $2 billion.

Guitar Center carries 'Caa1' corporate family and probability of
default ratings from Moody's Investors Service.  In December 2009,
Moody's said, "The Caa1 Corporate Family Rating reflects Guitar
Center's very weak credit metrics, particularly its interest
coverage, as a result of its very high level of debt."


HAMPTON ROADS: Names Former WTC Market Manager to Board
-------------------------------------------------------
Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc., the holding company for Bank of
Hampton Roads and Shore Bank, announced that W. Thomas Mears had
been elected to the Bank's Board of Directors effective January 3,
2011, coincident with the beginning of his tenure as the Bank's
President and CEO.  With this election, the Bank expanded its
Board of Directors to nine members.

Mears joins the Bank from Wilmington Trust, where he was Market
Manager - Lower Delaware and Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Prior to
Wilmington Trust, Mears served in positions of increasing
responsibility with Peninsula Bank, an affiliate of Mercantile
Bankshares Corp., from 1989 to 2006, then served as Regional
President/Market Executive for PNC after its acquisition of
Mercantile Bankshares Corp.  He brings over 20 years of banking
experience in markets on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and
surrounding areas.

                  About Hampton Roads Bankshares

-- http://www.hamptonroadsbanksharesinc.com/-- is a bank holding
company that was formed in 2001 and is headquartered in Norfolk,
Virginia.  The Company's primary subsidiaries are Bank of Hampton
Roads, which opened for business in 1987, and Shore Bank, which
opened in 1961.  Currently, Bank of Hampton Roads operates twenty-
eight banking offices in the Hampton Roads region of southeastern
Virginia and twenty-four offices in Virginia and North Carolina
doing business as Gateway Bank & Trust Co.  Shore Bank serves the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia through eight banking
offices and fifteen ATMs.

Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C., in Winchester, Va., expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern in its report on the Company's restated consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The
independent auditors noted that quantitative measures established
by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and
its subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier I
capital to average assets.  In addition, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and declining levels of capital.

Hampton Roads Bankshares reported a net loss of $84.5 million on
$17.9 million of net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2010, compared with a net loss of $13.4 million on
$26.5 million of net interest income for the same period last
year.

Effective June 17, 2010, the Company and its banking subsidiary,
Bank of Hampton Roads ("BOHR"), entered into a written agreement
with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Bureau of
Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation
Commission.  The Company's other banking subsidiary, Shore Bank,
is not a party to the Written Agreement.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, among other things, BOHR
agreed to develop and submit for approval plans to (a) strengthen
board oversight of management and BOHR's operations, (b)
strengthen credit risk management policies, (c) improve BOHR's
position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in
excess of $2.5 million which are now, or may in the future become,
past due more than 90 days, are on BOHR's problem loan list, or
adversely classified in any report of examination of BOHR, (d)
review and revise, as appropriate, current policy and maintain
sound processes for determining, documenting, and recording an
adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, (e) improve
management of BOHR's liquidity position and funds management
policies, (f) provide contingency planning that accounts for
adverse scenarios and identifies and quantifies available sources
of liquidity for each scenario, (g) reduce the Bank's reliance on
brokered deposits, and (h) improve BOHR's earnings and overall
condition.

The Company said in its Form 10-Q for the September 2010 quarter
that due to its financial results, the substantial uncertainty
throughout the U.S. banking industry, and the Written Agreement
the Company and BOHR have entered into, doubts existed regarding
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through the
second quarter of 2010.  However, management believes this concern
has been mitigated by the initial closing of the Private Placement
that occurred on September 30, 2010.


HARBOUR EAST: Fails in Bid to Compel NBV to Produce Docs.
---------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge A. Jay Cristol denied the request of Harbour East
Development, Ltd., to compel secured creditor 7935 NBV, LLC's
production of documents.

privileged documents in its possession, custody or control.  The
only documents not produced pursuant to NBV's objections concern
the relationship between NBV and Thibault Messier Savard &
Associates.

purposes of generating net rental income to pay the operating
expenses of the Debtor and to fund distributions to holders, until
the time as the Debtor closes on the sale of all of the
condominium units.  The Debtor will also continue to market, sell
and offer purchase money mortgages with respect to ongoing sales
of the condominium units at the property.

General unsecured claims will be paid from remaining net rental
income, net purchase money principal and interest income, and net
proceeds of sale condominium units -- and after operating
expenses, administrative expenses, allowed priority and allowed
secured claims are paid.  Existing old limited partnership equity
interests will be cancelled and the holders of old limited
partnership equity interests will get nothing.  A full-text

HARRISBURG, PA: Workers Get Paychecks Despite Lack Of 2011 Budget
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that employees in the distressed
capital city of Harrisburg, Pa., are getting their paychecks,
after a dispute over protocol was resolved.  The report relates
that city Controller Dan Miller had said he would bar the release
of paychecks for the city's 543 workers because the 2011 budget
hasn't been enacted.

Mayor Linda Thompson's administration argued the paychecks should
be released because the pay period was for 2010, according to Dow
Jones'.

But Miller decided to release the paychecks after he received
confirmation that the five council members who voted for the
budget on Dec. 30 would also vote to override a possible veto by
the mayor, the report notes.

Dow Jones' discloses that Ms. Thompson received the budget
Wednesday and she has 10 days to sign it, veto it or let it pass
without her signature, according to spokesman Chuck Ardo.

"Whether she vetoes it or not, that's the budget we have for 2011
and I felt comfortable issuing the paychecks," Dow Jones' quoted
Ms. Miller as saying.

                        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.

About Hercules Offshore

Hercules Offshore, Inc. (NASDAQ: HERO) --
http://www.herculesoffshore.com/-- provides shallow-water
drilling and marine services to the oil and natural gas
exploration and production industry in the United States, Gulf of
Mexico and internationally.  The Company provides these services
to integrated energy companies, independent oil and natural gas
operators and national oil companies.  The Company operates in six
business segments: Domestic Offshore, International Offshore,
Inland, Domestic Liftboats, International Liftboats and Delta
Towing.

The Troubled Company Reporter said on November 17, 2010, Moody's
Investors Service downgraded the Corporate Family Rating of
Hercules Offshore Inc. and the Probability of Default Rating to
Caa1 from B2.  Moody's also downgraded Hercules' 10.5% senior
secured notes due 2017, its senior secured revolving credit
facility due 2012, and its senior secured term loan B due 2013,
all to Caa1 with LGD3, 45%.  The outlook remains negative.

"The inability of Hercules to generate meaningful free cash flow
despite limited reinvestment in its aging fleet of rigs is cause
for concern," commented Stuart Miller, Moody's Senior Analyst.
"Without a significant de-leveraging of its balance sheet,
Hercules is following a path that could lead to financial hardship
at the first sign of a market softening."  Hercules' Caa1 CFR
rating reflects its highly leveraged balance sheet and limited
ability to generate free cash flow.  The Caa1 rating on the senior
secured notes reflects their pari passu secured position in
Hercules' capital structure relative to the senior secured credit
facilities.

HOSPITAL DAMAS: Can Obtain UP to $1-Mil. of DIP Financing
---------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico has
authorized Hospital Damas, Inc., to obtain post-petition senior
secured financing of up to $1,008,547.54 from Banco Popular de
Puerto Rico.  Banco Popular is the owner, as of April 30, 2010, of
all credit relationships among the Debtor and its affiliate, and
Westernbank Puerto Rico.

Unless accelerated by an Event of Default, the maturity date
of the DIP Facility will be the earliest to occur of (i)
consummation of any consensual or nonconsensual Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization or liquidation of or for the DIP Borrower, whether
proposed by the DIP Borrower or any other party, or (ii) May 1,
2011.

Outstanding amounts under the DIP Facility will accrue interest,
payable monthly, at a rate of 0.25 basis points per annum over and
above a Base Rate, a fluctuating interest rate per annum that will
at all times be equal to the prime or base rate as published by
Citibank in New York in the Wall Street Journal.

The DIP Facility will be treated for all purposes as an extension
of the credit available under the Pre-petition Loan documents
(specifically, the Term Loan and Line of Credit Agreement dated
December 18, 2006, as amended on October 8, 2008).

All of the DIP Obligations will constitute allowed claims against
the Debtor with priority, with certain exceptions, over any and
all administrative expenses, diminution claims, and all other
claims against the Debtor.

The DIP Obligations will be secured by postpetition first priority
liens on all prepetition and pospetition properties and assets of
the Debtor.

Upon a determination by the Court that an Event of Default has
occurred, the automatic stay is lifted, allowing foreclosure on
the collateral.

Ponce, Puerto Rico-based Hospital Damas, Inc., filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on September 24, 2010 (Bankr. D. P.R.
Case No. 10-08844).  Charles A. Cuprill-Hernandez, Esq., at
Charles A. Cuprill, P.S.C., Law Offices, serves as the Debtor's
bankruptcy counsel.  In October 2010, the United States Trustee
appointed five creditors to serve on the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors of the Debtor.  Todd C. Meyers, Esq., and
Colin M. Bernardino, Esq., at Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, represents
the Committee as legal counsel, and Edgardo Munoz, Esq., at
Edgardo Munoz, PSC, serves the Committee as local counsel.  In its
schedules, the Debtor disclosed US$24,017,166 in total assets and
US$21,267,263 in total liabilities as of the petition date.


ICON HEALTH: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Logan, Utah-based ICON Health & Fitness Inc., a
manufacturer and marketer of home fitness equipment.

At the same time, S&P assigned ICON's $205 million secured notes
due 2016 its issue-level rating of 'B-' (one notch lower than
S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating on the company) with a recovery
rating of '5', indicating its expectation of modest (10% to 30%)
recovery for debtholders in the event of a payment default.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating on ICON incorporates S&P's
assumption of revenue stabilization and margin growth from mix
shift, as well as lower input costs, over the intermediate term,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ariel Silverberg.

Similar to most consumer products categories, fitness experienced
some decline in 2009 from the recession.  On a relative basis, the
category fared better than most others, registering a mid-single-
digit decline in 2009.  Some notable risks associated with the
company are significant customer and product concentration in the
highly competitive home fitness equipment market, fluctuating
operating performance, low EBITDA margin, working capital
management requirements, and high debt leverage.

ICON is the largest U.S. manufacturer and marketer of home fitness
equipment, which is sold through multiple distribution channels.
The company's products are marketed under the brand names
NordicTrack, Weider, ProForm, HealthRider, and others.

INN OF THE MOUNTAIN: Extends Exchange Offer for Defaulted Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino on Friday extended its
private offer to exchange its outstanding 12% Senior Notes due
2010 for (1) new 8.750% Senior Notes due 2020 -- 1st-Out Notes --
(2) new Senior PIK Notes due 2020 -- 2nd-Out Notes; and (3) a pro
rata amount of $18 million in cash.

The purpose of the extension is to allow sufficient time for the
receipt of regulatory approvals necessary for the Exchange Offer.

The Exchange Offer will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on January 21, 2011, unless extended further.  The Exchange
Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on January 7, 2011.

IMG Resort and Casino issued $200.0 million of the Notes on
November 3, 2003.  The Notes matured on November 15, 2010.  The
Company has not made the scheduled $12.0 million interest payments
on the Company's Notes since November 15, 2008.  Under the terms
of the Indenture, the Company had a 30-day grace period with
respect to each interest payment but did not make these payments.
Failure to make the May 15, 2009, November 15, 2009 and May 15,
2010 interest payments on or before June 15, 2009, December 15,
2009 and June 15, 2010, respectively, constituted separate events
of default under the Indenture.  Upon the occurrence of an event
of default, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes could declare all of the
Notes immediately due and payable.

The fair value of the Notes were roughly $82.0 million at June 30,
2010.

The Exchange Offer was announced November 24.  For each $1,000
principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and accepted
for exchange in the Exchange Offer, the holder will receive (1)
$300 principal amount of new 1st-Out Notes; (2) $675 principal
amount of new 2nd-Out Notes; and (3) a pro rata amount of
$18 million in cash.

The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions, including
that at least 99.5% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Existing Notes are tendered and accepted in the Exchange Offer and
the Company's receipt of written documentation from the National
Indian Gaming Commission providing that the indenture governing
the New Notes and the primary collateral documents are not
management contracts required to be approved by the chairperson of
the NIGC.  The Company has the right to waive these conditions --
including the minimum tender condition -- or to terminate,
withdraw, amend or extend the Exchange Offer or delay or refrain
from accepting for exchange or exchanging the Existing Notes at
any time and for any reason prior to the fulfillment or waiver of
the conditions to the Exchange Offer.

The New Notes will be guaranteed by the Company's existing and
future restricted subsidiaries, which includes the subsidiaries
that guarantee the Existing Notes.  The New Notes will be senior
obligations of the Company, secured by (1) a first priority
security interest perfected under the laws of the Apache Tribe of
the Mescalero Reservation in (a) the Company's and the guarantors'
revenues prior to the deposit into a deposit account and (b) any
assets distributed by the Company or any guarantor to the Tribe or
any of its affiliates if such distribution was not permitted by
the terms of the indenture governing the New Notes and (2) a first
priority security interest perfected under applicable law in (a)
the deposit accounts owned by the Company and the guarantors and
(b) all of the Company's and the guarantors' personal property, in
each case, other than excluded assets.

Through 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 7, 2011, holders
have validly tendered $73,797,000 aggregate principal amount of
the Existing Notes.  As a result of the extension, tendered
Existing Notes received to date may continue to be withdrawn at
any time prior to the new expiration date, except under certain
limited circumstances.  Holders of Existing Notes who have already
tendered their Existing Notes need not take any additional action
in order to tender their Existing Notes.

The New Notes have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws,
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements, and will therefore be subject to substantial
restrictions on transfer.

i-Deal LLC is acting as the Exchange Agent and Information Agent
for the Exchange Offer.  Eligible holders of Existing Notes can
contact the Information Agent to request Exchange Offer documents
at (212) 849-5000 or toll free at (888) 593-9546.

IRVINE SENSORS: 9 Investors Agree to Convert Bridge Notes
---------------------------------------------------------
Irvine Sensors Corporation previously sold 10% Unsecured
Convertible Promissory Notes due May 31, 2011 to investors in an
aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000, the terms of which
permit the holders of the Bridge Notes to convert up to and
including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such
Bridge Notes and any accrued interest thereon into the same
securities issued in, and upon the same terms and conditions of,
the Company's secured convertible note financing that occurred on
December 23, 2010.

On December 31, 2010, the Company entered into Joinder Agreements
with 9 accredited Bridge Note Holders who held Bridge Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $620,000, pursuant to which such
Bridge Note Holders agreed to be bound by the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in the Financing and
converted the Conversion Amount under their Bridge Notes into the
same securities issued in the Financing, with 31.8% of such
aggregate Conversion Amount being allocated to the purchase of an
aggregate of 2,848,222 of the Company's common stock for $199,375,
or $0.07 per share, and the remaining $427,592 of the aggregate
Conversion Amount being allocated to the purchase of 12%
Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due December 31, 2015.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, due and
payable quarterly within 10 business days of the end of each
calendar quarter, calculated on the simple interest basis of a
365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  For the first
two years of the Notes, the Company has the option, subject to the
satisfaction of certain customary equity conditions, to pay all or
a portion of the interest due on each interest payment date in
shares of common stock, with the price per share calculated based
on the weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock over
the last 20 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to
the interest payment date.  The foregoing notwithstanding, until
that certain Secured Promissory Note dated April 14, 2010 by and
between the Company to Timothy Looney is repaid in full, cash
interest on the Notes must instead be paid by adding the amount of
such interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes as
"PIK" interest.  The principal and accrued but unpaid interest
under the Notes is convertible at the option of the holder, any
time after amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the Company's authorized Common Stock, into shares of
the Company's Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.07
per share.  The conversion price is subject to full ratchet
adjustment for certain price dilutive issuances of securities by
the Company and proportional adjustment for events such as stock
splits, dividends, combinations and the like.  Beginning after the
first two years of the Notes, the Company can force the Notes to
convert to Common Stock if certain customary equity conditions
have been satisfied and the volume weighted average price of the
Common Stock is $0.25 or greater for 30 consecutive trading days.

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

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

JARDEN CORPORATION: Management Plans Won't Move Moody's Ba3 Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said Jarden Corporation's announcement
that it plans to separate the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
role is good corporate governance, but it does not affect its Ba3

LEGACY BANK: Closed; Enterprise Bank & Trust Assumes All Deposits
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Legacy Bank of Scottsdale, Ariz., was closed on Friday, January 7,
2011, by the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions, which
appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver.
To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with Enterprise Bank & Trust of St. Louis,
Mo., to assume all of the deposits of Legacy Bank.

The two branches of Legacy Bank will reopen during normal banking
hours as branches of Enterprise Bank & Trust.   Depositors of
Legacy Bank will automatically become depositors of Enterprise
Bank & Trust.  Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC,
so there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage
up to applicable limits.  Customers of Legacy Bank should continue
to use their existing branch until they receive notice from
Enterprise Bank & Trust that it has completed systems changes to
allow other Enterprise Bank & Trust branches to process their
accounts as well.

As of September 30, 2010, Legacy Bank had around $150.6 million in
total assets and $125.9 million in total deposits.  Enterprise
Bank & Trust will pay the FDIC a premium of 1.0% to assume all of
the deposits of Legacy Bank.  In addition to assuming all of the
deposits of the failed bank, Enterprise Bank & Trust agreed to
purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Enterprise Bank & Trust entered into a loss-share
transaction on $119.8 million of Legacy Bank's assets.  Enterprise
Bank & Trust will share in the losses on the asset pools covered
under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-share transaction is
projected to maximize returns on the assets covered by  keeping
them in the private sector.  The transaction also is expected to
minimize disruptions for loan customers.  For more information on
loss share, visit:

  http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at (800) 405-8357.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at:

   http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/legacybank.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $27.9 million.  Compared to other alternatives, Enterprise
Bank & Trust's acquisition was the least costly resolution for the
FDIC's DIF.  Legacy Bank is the second FDIC-insured institution to
fail in the nation this year, and the first in Arizona.  The last
FDIC-insured institution closed in the state was Copper Star Bank,
Scottsdale, on November 12, 2010.

LTAP US: Court to Consider Wells Fargo's Stay Relief on January 26
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware will convene a hearing on January 26, 2011, at
4:00 p.m., to consider Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A.'s request for relief of the automatic stay.

According to Wells Fargo, the Debtor owes at least $222,346,070 in
principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon on account of
loan advances, plus additional amounts owing under terminated
interest rate swap agreements, plus attorneys' fees and expenses
and other out-of-pocket expenses.

The indebtedness is secured by senior and perfected liens and
security interests in substantially all of the Debtor's assets
consisting of its ownership of 410 life insurance policies that
insure the lives of 313 individuals under which the Debtor is the
beneficiary.

Wells Fargo asserts that:

   -- cause exists to modify the automatic stay, not only because
      Wells Fargo is inadequately protected given the Debtor's
      liquidity crisis, but because this case was instituted by
      the Debtor in bad faith; and

   -- the Debtor has no equity in the property and the property is
      not necessary for an effective reorganization

MARITIME STEEL AND FOUNDRIES: Forced Into Receivership
------------------------------------------------------
The Canadian Press reports that Maritime Steel and Foundries has
been forced into receivership.  The report relates that parent
company Cameron Corporation called in a $17.8-million loan that
couldn't be paid.

Carl Holm, a Halifax lawyer representing Cameron Corp., says it
didn't make sense to keep pouring in money, according to the
report.

The Canadian Press discloses that Holm persuaded a Nova Scotia
Supreme Court judge to appoint BDO Canada as the receiver for the
company.

The report notes that Maritime Steel is in arrears to Nova Scotia
Power which has been threatening to cut off power.  The report
relates company officials say other industry players are already
expressing interest in acquiring the plant's assets.

At full capacity, Maritime Steel employed as many as 170 people
but it has been operating with a crew of 50 to 60 for a few
months, the report adds.

Headquartered in Nova Scotia, Maritime Steel and Foundries is a
steel foundry, which started up in 1902.

MERCO GROUP: CMBS Fund Seeks to Foreclose on Rio Apartments
-----------------------------------------------------------
Brian Bandell, writing for South Florida Business Journal, reports
that BACM 2000-2 Fontainebleau, an affiliate of a CMBS fund with
Miami Beach-based LNR Partners as the special servicer, filed a
foreclosure lawsuit Dec. 23 against Rio Apartments, along with
Merco Group principals Homero Meruelo and Belinda Meruelo.  The
lawsuit targets 294 apartment units in Miami controlled by Merco
Group.

Business Journal relates that, according to a November report from
CMBS analysis firm Trepp LLC, the mortgage had $11.5 million
outstanding and matured.

Business Journal notes the Rio Apartments has 498 bedrooms in 294
units at 8801 Fontainebleau Blvd., west of Miami International
Airport. The five-floor property, built in 1971, totals 366,237
square feet.  It obtained a $13 million mortgage in 2000, and the
loan matured in April 2010.

Business Journal says Merco Group has been unable to sell the
property or refinance the loan and has been hit with numerous
foreclosure lawsuits in the past two years.

David Trench, Esq., in Miami, represents BACM in the lawsuit.


METRO ENTERPRISES: In Receivership; New Company Takes Over
----------------------------------------------------------
Ted Whipp at The Windsor Star, in Windsor, Ontario, reports that
with Metro Enterprises in receivership, a new company has been
formed and taken over the Company's operation.  "I'm very
optimistic," Ryan Soulliere, said of prospects for the new
company, Metro Catering & Vending Services Inc, the report
relates.

According to The Windsor Star, the son of Ed Soulliere, CEO of
Metro Enterprises, Mr. Soulliere is president of the new company
and said he's looking ahead to opportunities that include
construction of the new parkway-border link and other
institutional, industrial and commercial projects planned or
underway.  The report relates Mr. Soulliere said that the new
company has about 50 employees and 22 trucks as well as an
occupation agreement in place for the assets with the receiver
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.  The new company's operation includes
vending services and mobile vehicle vendors as well as the large-
scale food production to supply them, the report notes.

The Windsor Star discloses that essentially, the area's weak
economy proved a factor in the receivership, said Mr. Soulliere,
who was director of operations for Metro Enterprises.  The new
company starts without a debt burden, Soulliere said, adding he
plans to restructure and re-position the commercial catering
operation, the report adds.

Metro Enterprises operates commercial food catering and vending
located in 2825 County Rd. 42.


MEXICANA AIRLINES: Bankruptcy Should Be Resolved by January 24
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jose Enrique Arrioja and Jonathan Levin at Bloomberg report that
Humberto Trevino, Mexico's deputy minister of transportation, said
Compania Mexicana de Aviacion or Mexicana Airlines should have its
bankruptcy process resolved before January 24, 2011.

The bankruptcy process is "going well" and ticket sales should
resume the week of January 24, Mr. Trevino told Bloomberg in
interview broadcast on Radio Formula.  Flights should resume
shortly after ticket sales, he added.

The Latin America Herald relates that Mexicana Airlines is nearing
an agreement with its creditors.  Fifty-one percent of them --
including state-owned bank Bancomext, Banorte and government-owned
Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares, which oversees Mexico's
airports -- have expressed a willingness to sign a restructuring
agreement, Mr. Trevino said, according to Latin America Herald.

"We're certain the (bankruptcy proceedings) will be resolved
before Jan. 24," Mr. Trevino said, adding that the airline will
seek to obtain navigability certificates by carrying out some test
flights and have its crew re-accredited, Latin America Herald
discloses.  The most important part is the international
operation, Mr. Trevino added.

Mr. Trevino, Latin America Herald notes, said the company has been
in contact with U.S. airports to re-establish its installations
and secure landing and take-off spots.

Mexicana, which will remain in the hands of its main investor, PC
Capital, will resume flights with a fleet of between 28 and 30
planes, compared with 112 prior to August, when the Mexicana group
also included affiliated budget airlines Click and Link, Trevino
said, Latin America Herald says.  Those two low-cost airlines will
merge with Mexicana de Aviacion, Mr. Trevino added.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
December 13, 2010, Fox News said unnamed sources said Mexicana
Airlines' pilots, flight attendants and ground crew agreed to a
new labor contract that could allow the bankrupt airline to resume
operations in the second half of January 2011.  Fox News noted
that in November, Mexican investment group PC Capital was named as
potential new owner of the airline.

(case no. 10-14182), and in Mexico, it filed for the equivalent of
Chapter 11.

of US$500 million to US$1 billion and debts of more than US$1
billion.  William C. Heuer, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, serves as
counsel to Ms. Johansen.

expects to continue to operate normally, and that such filings did
not affect the operations of Click Mexicana and Mexicana Link,

N/S SAWGRASS: Met Life Unit Seeks to Foreclose on Tech Park
-----------------------------------------------------------
South Florida Business Journal's Brian Bandell reports that MLIC
Asset Holdings II, an affiliate of Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co., filed a foreclosure lawsuit on Dec. 10 against N/S Sawgrass
Office Associates.  The borrower is managed by Stiles Capital
Partners, an affiliate of the Fort Lauderdale-based developer.

According to Mr. Bandell, Stiles Corp. was not named in the
lawsuit, which concerns two mortgages made for a combined
$55 million in 2005.  N/S Sawgrass bought the 63-acre Sawgrass
Technology Park at 1601 N.W. 136th Ave. in Sunrise, in 2008 for
$79 million.  It has 653,155 square feet in 12 Mediterranean
Hacienda-style buildings with courtyards and covered walkways.

According to the report, Stiles President Doug Eagan said in a
statement that the loan is past its maturity date, thus triggering
a default.  Mr. Eagan said Stiles "continues its intermediary role
between the lender and our primary investor/partner in working
toward a modified loan renewal. We anticipate a resolution of this
matter in the very near future."

Business Journal notes that the Sawgrass Technology Park is part
of the Westerra project that Stiles Corp. proposed building in
Sunrise.

The centerpiece of that project, which was to include both retail
and residential, was a vacant 32-acre site alongside the
technology park.

That property is not part of the foreclosure lawsuit and is
secured by an $8 million mortgage from Miami-based City National
Bank of Florida.

John Hart, Esq., in West Palm Beach, represents MLIC.

RAINBOW SUNSET: Court Converts Chapter Bankr. 11 Case to Chapter 7
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Hon. Linda B. Riegle of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nevada has converted, at the behest of Rainbow Sunset
Pavilion Building, LLC, the Debtor's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case to
one under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on November 10, 2010,
the Debtor asked the Court to convert its Chapter 11 case to
Chapter 7.  The Debtor said that since the automatic stay on its
primary asset, a real property located at 6325 South Rainbow
Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada, had been lifted and would be sold,
it had no resources to fund its operations.  The Debtor also said
that despite efforts to sell some or all of the property, the
Debtor was unable to sell the assets in an orderly fashion outside
the context of a Chapter 7 liquidation.

$2.75 billion aggregate principal amount out of $3.045 billion in
outstanding principal of existing notes were validly tendered and
not withdrawn.  The exchange was contingent upon a minimum of
$2.65 billion in aggregate principal amount of existing notes.

Following this announcement, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
assigned each of Realogy's new notes issued upon consummation of
the exchange offers its 'C' issue-level rating with a recovery
rating of '6', indicating S&P's expectation of negligible (0% to
10%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment default.
S&P issued its preliminary 'C' issue-level rating to these notes
on Dec. 15, 2010, upon the company's announcement of the exchange
offer.

The exchange notes issued include:

* $492 million 11.5% cash pay senior notes due 2017;

* $130 million 12% cash pay senior notes due 2017;

* $10 million 13.375% subordinated notes due 2018;

* $1.144 billion 11% series A convertible subordinated notes due
  2018;

* $291 million 11% series B convertible subordinated notes due
  2018; and

* $675 million 11% series C convertible subordinated notes due
  2018.

In addition, S&P lowered its issue-level ratings on the company's
10.5% senior notes due 2014, 11.00%/11.75% senior toggle notes due
2014, and 12.375% subordinated notes due 2015 to 'D' from 'C'.
Realogy's senior secured revolver, term loan, and synthetic LOC
facilities will remain rated at 'CCC-', and the company's senior
secured second-lien term loan will remain at 'C'.  Recovery
ratings on these debt issues remain unchanged.  The corporate
credit rating remains at 'CC' and the rating outlook is
developing.

Realogy announced the final results of the exchange offers, and
that holders have validly tendered these existing notes at par:

* $1.636 billion 10.5% senior notes due 2014 for $492 million in
  11.5% senior notes due 2017 and $1,144 million in 11% series A
  convertible subordinated notes due 2018;

* $421 million 11.75% senior toggle notes due 2014 for
  $130 million in 12% senior unsecured notes due 2017 and
  $291 million in 11% series B convertible subordinated notes due
  2018; and

* $685 million 12.375% subordinated notes due 2015 for $10 million
  in 13.375% subordinated notes due 2018 and $675 million in 11%
  series C convertible subordinated notes due 2018.

S&P lowered its issue-level ratings to 'D' on the existing notes,
reflecting its view that the exchange was tantamount to a default
according to its criteria, notwithstanding the offer at par.
This view considers the distressed financial profile of Realogy.
At September 2010, debt balances were large, totaling about
$7.8 billion, including operating leases and securitization debt.
Leverage was high at 14x, and EBITDA coverage of cash interest was
about 0.95x.  In addition, the exchange extended the original
maturity and resulted in a more junior ranking for many
debtholders that tendered.

S&P's corporate credit rating on Realogy is not affected by the
exchange offer, as S&P already lowered this rating to 'SD'
(selective default) on Sept. 29, 2009, following an earlier
exchange.  The current exchange offer reflects a continuing effort
on the part of the company to find solutions to manage its highly
leveraged capital structure, which was put in place to fund its
leveraged buyout several years ago.  In addition, the current
exchange is not a deleveraging event, although Realogy will
benefit from an extended maturity profile.  As soon as practical -
- likely in the coming days -- S&P expects to raise its issue-
level ratings on the existing notes to 'C' from 'D'.

RECIPROCAL OF AMERICA: Receiver Inks Key Settlement Agreements
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alfred W. Gross, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Insurance, in
his role as Deputy Receiver, is asking the Circuit Court of the
City of Richmond, Virginia, to approve two settlements resolving
claims against certain former officers and directors of Reciprocal
of America and the Reciprocal Group, the companies' outside
counsel and their insurer.  In exchange for dismissal of the
Deputy Receiver's claims and releases, the target defendants agree
to pay $2,290,000.  The Court will review the Deputy Receiver's
request at a hearing at 10:00 a.m., prevailing Eastern Time, on
Feb. 15, 2011.

The Deputy Receiver is represented by:

         Patrick H. Cantilo, Esq.

Reciprocal of America, in Receivership --
http://www.reciprocalgroup.com/-- is a reciprocal
insurance company, providing professional, workers' compensation
and other liability coverage for health systems, hospitals,
health professionals, managed care organizations and other
health care providers.  Based in Virginia, the company
is licensed in 42 states and operates in 18 states and the
District of Columbia.  In 2001, the company assumed the assets
and liabilities of Coastal Insurance Enterprise, Coastal
Insurance Exchange, and Alabama Hospital Association and
Healthcare Workers' Compensation Trust Fund.


RENFRO CORPORATION: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Rating to Senior Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 rating to Renfro
Corporation's amended senior secured term loan.  Moody's also
affirmed Renfro's B2 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings.  The outlook remains stable.

The rating assignment follows Renfro's execution of an amendment
to its senior secured credit facility, which facilitated the
acquisition of KBell Holdings, Inc.  The amendment increases
Renfro's term loan by $55 million to $163.8 million and extends
the maturity date to October 2016 from October 2013, as well as
extending the maturity of the asset based revolver (unrated by
Moody's) to October 2015 from April 2013.

Renfro Corporation

  -- Senior Secured Term Loan, Assigned B2, LGD4, 54 %

  -- Senior Secured Term Loan, Withdrawn, previously rated B2,
     LGD4, 55 %

                        Ratings Rationale

Renfro's B2 corporate family rating continues to reflect the
company's modest scale, sole product focus, and significant
customer concentration.  Its strong portfolio of brands and good
liquidity support the rating.

The stable outlook incorporates expectations that Renfro will
continue to generate positive free cash flow and that credit
metrics will improve (from the pro forma metrics incorporating the
transaction) through EBITDA growth.  The stable outlook also
assumes Renfro will maintain adequate or better liquidity.

Lack of scale and limited customer diversification somewhat
constrain the rating, notwithstanding the benefits of the
acquisition.  However, Moody's would consider a ratings upgrade
with expectations for sustained debt-to-EBITDA below 3.5 times and
EBITA-to-interest above 3.5 times.  A higher rating would also
require good liquidity and expectations for positive free cash
flow.

The rating is fairly strongly positioned within the B2 corporate
family rating.  However, Moody's would consider a downgrade based
on expectations for debt-to-EBITDA approaching 6 times, EBITA-to-
interest falling below 2 times, or negative free cash flow.  A
deterioration of the liquidity profile could also result in a
negative ratings action.

Headquartered in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Renfro Corporation
designs, manufactures, and sells socks primarily within the United
States, Canada, Mexico and Europe.  Its annual revenue is
approximately $400 million.  Kelso & Company, L.P., is the primary
owner of Renfro.

ROVI CORP: S&P Gives Stable Outlook, Affirms 'BB-' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its rating
outlook on Santa Clara, Calif.-based digital home entertainment
technology company Rovi Corp. to stable from positive.  At the
same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB-' corporate credit rating on the
company.

"S&P's outlook revision follows Rovi's agreement to acquire Sonic
Solutions for about $720 million in a combination of cash and
stock," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Liu.  "The
stable outlook reflects S&P's view that upgrade potential pushed
into the intermediate term as Rovi digests and develops this
relatively new business."

"The 'BB-' corporate credit rating reflects its expectation that
Rovi's strong operating performance will continue and that its new
product rollouts will improve its competitive position," said Mr.
Liu.  "The acquisition of Sonic and its RoxioNow product has the
potential to open up another significant revenue stream for the
company.  However, the company will be indirectly competing
against several sizable firms including Netflix, Amazon, and
iTunes."

For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010, Sonic generated total
revenue of about $103 million and was slightly above breakeven
EBITDA (after adding back stock compensation).  This is not pro
forma for Sonic's acquisition of DivX Inc., which closed in
October 2010.  S&P considers Rovi's business risk profile as fair,
based primarily on its good EBITDA margin and high barriers to
entry, balanced by its narrow business platform and significant
technology risk.  S&P assesses its financial risk profile as
significant based on its somewhat high pro forma debt leverage.

Cash paid in conjunction with the exchange offer for Sonic
common stock will equal 55% of the transaction value (about
$400 million).  However, if the initial exchange offer and related
actions permitted by the agreement don't result in Rovi owning at
least 90% of outstanding Sonic shares, the consideration paid to
Sonic shareholders in the merger may consist entirely of Rovi
shares.

Separately, Rovi has proposed to raise $500 million through term
loan financing for general corporate purposes, including the
repurchase of its common stock and its outstanding convertible
notes.  The $500 million term loan financing will boost liquidity.
Rovi's board has authorized up to $400 million in stock
repurchases and up to $200 million in repurchases of outstanding
convertible notes.

In the third quarter of 2010, Rovi increased sales about 21% and
EBITDA about 33% year over year.  The company reported solid
performance in its two segments: service providers (principal
cable system operators) and consumer electronics manufacturers
(CE).  Service providers segment sales increased 15%, aided by
digital cable conversion and international licenses.  CE segment
sales increased 31%, benefiting from higher shipments of products
incorporating the company's IPG and patent/product licensing.

S&P could raise its rating on Rovi if the company maintains its
operating momentum and successfully integrates and supports Sonic
products, such that Sonic delivers a solid return on investment.
More specifically, if Rovi regains its 37% EBITDA margin and
adopts a more conservative financial policy, S&P could raise the
rating to 'BB'.  On the other hand, if the integration of Sonic is
not successful, causing a reduction in EBITDA and becoming a cash
use, S&P could lower the rating.


SANDRIDGE ENERGY: S&P Affirms 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'B+'
corporate credit rating and 'CCC+' preferred stock rating on
Oklahoma City, Okla.-based SandRidge Energy Inc.

At the same time, S&P lowered the company's senior unsecured debt
rating to 'B' (one notch lower than the corporate credit rating)
from 'B+'.  S&P revised the recovery rating to '5', which
indicates its expectation of modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the
event of a payment default, from '4'.  S&P removed this rating
from CreditWatch with negative implications where it was placed on
Nov. 10, 2010.  Approximately $3.0 billion of funded debt was
outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2010.

"The ratings on SandRidge Energy reflect its highly leveraged
financial profile and geographic concentration in Texas and
Oklahoma, as well as Standard & Poor's expectation that near-term
natural gas prices will remain weak," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Patrick Jeffrey.  The ratings also reflect
SandRidge's strategic shift to increase oil production and natural
gas liquids from natural gas in response to weak near-term natural
gas prices.

SandRidge's acquisition of certain oil and gas properties from
Forest Oil Corp. in December 2009 and its more recent acquisition
of Arena Resources in July 2010 have improved its business risk
profile.  The acquisitions provided the company with a more
balanced production mix between natural gas and liquids, as well
as an increased position in the Permian Basin.  As a result of the
acquisition, liquids production now constitutes more than 50% of
proved reserves as a result of these transactions.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's concern that SandRidge's
increased capital expenditure plans will result in significant
negative cash flow through 2011.  If the company is not able to
achieve planned asset sales with proceeds at the high end of its
guidance, S&P believes its adjusted total debt to EBITDAX could be
about 5x at the end of 2011, which S&P would consider well above
the 4.5x threshold for the ratings.  S&P could consider a
downgrade if the company is not able to reduce debt leverage to
below 4.5x by the end of 2011 or if liquidity becomes tighter in
the near term as a result of weak natural gas prices combined with
its aggressive capital spending plan.  S&P would consider a stable
outlook if the company is able to sustain debt leverage below 4.5x
and maintain adequate liquidity.


SAVOY DEVELOPMENT: 2nd Mortgage Lenders File Foreclosure Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
South Florida Business Journal's Brian Bandell reports that
lenders Ice LLC, 3120 Associates and Saxon Development Co. filed a
foreclosure lawsuit Dec. 21 against co-borrowers Savoy Development
and Vallejo Investments concerning a second mortgage issued for
$8.3 million in 2007.  The lenders seek to foreclose on the site
of a stalled residential development project on Biscayne Bay in
Miami.

Business Journal relates that the first mortgage, a $7.5 million
loan with Harvard Lending Services, is not in foreclosure.  Both
of the loans matured in February, the report says.

According to Business Journal, Savoy and Vallejo own 13 lots that
combine for two acres along Northeast 32nd Street and Northeast
Seventh Avenue.  They are zoned for single-family homes and
high-density residential development.  Only demolition has taken
place there.

Keith Gaudioso, Esq., in Miami, represents the three lenders.


SBARRO INC: Cut by S&P to 'CC'; Rothschild Hired
------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Melville, N.Y.-based Sbarro Inc. to 'CC' from
'CCC-'.  The outlook is negative.

S&P also lowered the ratings on the company's $21.5 million
revolving facility and $183 million first-lien term loan to 'CC'
from 'CCC-'.  The '4' recovery rating on these facilities remains
unchanged.  Concurrently, S&P lowered the rating on the company's
$150 million senior unsecured notes to 'C' from 'CC' and kept the
recovery rating of '6' on this debt issue unchanged.

"The ratings on Sbarro reflect S&P's belief that the company's
current capital structure is unsustainable and that it is unable
to service its existing debt," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Mariola Borysiak.  Sbarro has engaged Rothschild Inc. as
its financial advisor to explore strategic alternatives addressing
its current capital structure.

The Jan. 3, 2011 forbearance agreement with its first-lien lenders
follows the company's expectation that it will not be able to
comply with its minimum EBITDA covenant under the first-lien
credit agreement.  At Sept. 26, 2010, Sbarro had an EBITDA cushion
of only $400,000 for this covenant.  That minimum EBITDA covenant
increased to $43 million at Jan. 2, 2011 fiscal year-end.

The forbearance agreement takes into account the company's receipt
on Dec. 29, 2010 of a notice of default from a holder of a
majority of its senior unsecured notes.  The unsecured debtholders
claim that Sbarro's incurrence of its second-lien credit facility
in 2009 violated certain provisions of the indenture.  Although
the holders claim that this violation constitutes a default under
the indenture, the notice of default is not a notice of
acceleration.  The company believes that its incurrence of the
second-lien debt was permitted by the indenture.


SBARRO INC: Enters Into Forbearance Agreement With Lenders
----------------------------------------------------------
Effective January 3, 2011, Sbarro, Inc., together with its parent,
Sbarro Holdings, LLC, entered into a Forbearance Agreement with
its lenders under its First Lien Credit Agreement and Bank of
America, N.A., as Administrative Agent under the First Lien Credit
Agreement, anticipating that it would not be in compliance with
one of the financial covenants in its First Lien Credit Agreement
as of January 2, 2011.

On January 3, 2011, the Company provided a notice of default to
the First Lien Holders regarding this anticipated failure to meet
a financial covenant in the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the First Lien Holders have
agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising certain rights and
remedies under the First Lien Credit Agreement solely by reason of
the First Lien Default or the delivery of the Indenture Notice.
Specifically, until the Forbearance Agreement terminates, the
First Lien Holders have agreed not to terminate the commitments,
accelerate the loans, require cash collateral for the letter of
credit obligations, enforce liens granted under the collateral
documents or exercise any other rights or remedies that may be
available under the loan documents in respect of the First Lien
Default or the delivery of the Indenture Notice.

The Company has acknowledged that as a result of the First Lien
Default (i) the Company's consent right in respect of certain
assignments is no longer in effect, (ii) all outstanding loans
bear interest at the default rate (contract rate + 2%), which will
result in incremental interest of approximately $860,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal year 2011, and (iii) the Company is not
entitled to convert eurodollar loans to, or continue any
eurodollar loans for additional interest periods as, eurodollar
loans having an interest period in excess of one month.  The
Company has also agreed to pay a fee to each lender that consents
to the Forbearance Agreement of 15 basis points on the principal
amount of loans held by such lender under the First Lien Credit
Agreement.  As of January 3, 2011, the Company has paid consenting
lenders a forbearance fee of $246,063 in aggregate.

The Forbearance Agreement terminates on the earliest of (i)
January 31, 2011, (ii) the date on which any event of default
under the First Lien Credit Agreement other than the First Lien
Default shall occur, (iii) the date of any breach by Holdings or
the Company of the Forbearance Agreement, and (iv) the date on
which any holder of the Company's senior notes or any of the
Company's second lien lenders (A) accelerates any of the Company's
obligations under the Indenture or the second lien credit facility
or (B) enforces any rights to collect payment under their
respective agreements with the Company.  Approximately 95% of the
Company's outstanding second lien debt is held by an affiliate of
MidOcean Partners.  MidOcean Partners, through various investment
funds that it manages, is the indirect, majority stockholder of
the Company.

The Forbearance Agreement takes into account the Company's
receipt, on December 29, 2010, of a "Notice of Default", dated
December 28, 2010, from AFII US BD Holdings, L.P., a holder of a
majority of the Company's senior notes, contending that the
Company's incurrence of its second lien credit facility in March
2009 violated certain provisions of the Senior Notes Indenture,
dated as of January 31, 2007, among the Company, the guarantors
named therein and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, pursuant to
which the Company's senior notes were issued in January 2007.
While claiming that this constitutes a default under the
Indenture, the Indenture Notice also states that it is not a
notice of acceleration.  The Company continues to believe that its
entry into the second lien credit facility in March 2009, the
proceeds of which were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness
under the First Lien Credit Agreement, was permitted by the
Indenture.

The Company remains in discussions with its creditors and other
stakeholders regarding the Company's long-term capital structure
and potential strategic alternatives to address its long-term
needs.  The Company intends to continue these discussions during
the forbearance period provided for in the Forbearance Agreement
and may request one or more extensions of the forbearance period,
if deemed necessary or appropriate, although there can be no
assurance that any extension would be available on terms
acceptable to the Company or at all.  The Company has engaged
Rothschild Inc. as its financial advisor to assist the Company in
exploring strategic alternatives and discussing these matters with
its various stakeholders.

On January 3, 2011 the Company provided the First Lien Default
notice to the First Lien Holders, stating that based upon its
preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and full
fiscal year of 2010, the Company would not meet the EBITDA
covenant contained in Section 7.16 of the Credit Agreement, dated
January 31, 2007, by and among the Company, Holdings, the First
Lien Holders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

SINOBIOMED INC: Issues 10 Million Shares to Michael Tan
-------------------------------------------------------
On December 6, 2010, Sinobiomed Inc. entered into a settlement and
conversion of debt letter agreement, dated December 2, 1010, with
Mr. Michael Tan, whereby Mr. Tan agreed to convert the debt of
$561,370 owing to him from the Company into 10,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.  A full-text copy of the Settlement
and Conversion Agreement is available for free at:

               http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?71e3

On December 29, 2010, Sinobiomed issued 10,000,000 shares of its
common stock to Mr. Michael Tan with respect to the conversion of
a debt of $561,370 owing to him from the Company.  On the same
day, the Company also issued 3,400,000 shares of its common stock
to two offshore individuals due to the third closing of its
private placement at $0.015 per share for total gross proceeds of
$51,000.

The Company believes that the issuances are exempt from
registration under Regulation S or Section 4(2) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the securities were issued
to the individuals through offshore transactions which were
negotiated and consummated outside of the United States.

In relation to the Company's private placement offering at $0.015
per share, the Company have paid a cash finder's fee in the amount
of $4,080 to one individual in Hong Kong.

The Company said proceeds from the transactions have been or will
be used for general corporate purposes.

                         About Sinobiomed

SMILE BRANDS: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to Irvine, Calif.-based Smile Brands Group
Inc.  The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's $240 million senior
secured term loan due 2017 and $35 million revolving credit
agreement due 2015 a rating of 'B' (the same as the corporate
credit rating).  S&P also assigned this debt a recovery rating of
'3', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

"S&P's low speculative-grade rating on Smile Brands reflects the
company's weak business profile and high financial leverage," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Gail I. Hessol.  Pro forma for
the transaction as of Dec. 31, 2010, S&P estimate debt to EBITDA
(adjusted to capitalize operating leases and including holding
company debt) was approximately 6.8x.

Smile Brands narrowly focuses on the provision of dental practice
management services to 325 affiliated group dental offices in 17
states, with significant concentrations in Texas and California.
Accordingly, changes in economic, regulatory, or legal conditions
in these states could meaningfully affect operations.  Unfavorable
economic conditions reduced revenue growth during 2008-2010 and
led the company to temporarily curtail new office openings.
Similar to retailers, the company markets its brands, selects
highly visible locations, and offers customers convenient hours,
comprehensive treatment, prices typically 15% to 20% below those
of traditional dentists and financing.  Still, the dental services
sector is extremely fragmented and highly competitive.  Revenues
could be affected by the level of traffic at its retail locations,
while operating costs could be subject to the difficulty of
attracting and retaining dentists.


SOURCEMEDIA INC: S&P Assigns 'CCC+' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned SourceMedia Inc. and
affiliate company Accuity Inc. (analyzed on a consolidated basis)
its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating.  S&P placed this rating on
CreditWatch with positive implications, reflecting the likelihood
of an upgrade following the successful closing of the company's
proposed refinancing transaction.

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's new senior secured
credit facilities S&P's 'B+' issue-level rating with a recovery
rating of '2', indicating its expectation of substantial (70% to
90%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.
SourceMedia Inc. is the borrower of a $5 million floating-rate
revolver due 2016 and $35 million floating-rate term loan due
2017, and Accuity Inc. is the borrower of a $20 million revolver
due 2016 and a $110 million term loan due 2017.

In addition, S&P assigned ratings to SourceMedia's existing
$100 million term loan B and Accuity's existing $85 million term
loan B, both due in 2011.  S&P rated this debt 'CCC+' with a
recovery rating of '3', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful
(50% to 70%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.  The 'CCC+' issue-level rating on this debt was placed on
CreditWatch with positive implications, in accordance with the
Watch placement of the corporate credit rating.  S&P expects to
withdraw its ratings on this debt once the company's proposed
refinancing transaction is closed.

"The positive CreditWatch listing reflects the assumed improvement
in the company's liquidity if the refinancing transaction is
completed," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Chris
Valentine.

SourceMedia and Accuity plan to use proceeds of the new senior
secured term loan to refinance its entire capital structure.  The
refinancing transaction would relieve pressure from the company's
near-term debt maturities.  S&P will likely raise the corporate
credit rating by two notches -- to 'B' with a stable rating
outlook -- if and when the proposed refinancing transaction
successfully closes.

The 'CCC+' corporate credit rating reflects SourceMedia's
significant cash flow concentration in a small number of financial
publications, an aggressive financial policy, and a focus around
the volatile financial and technology industries.  It also
reflects SourceMedia's significant maturities in the second half
of 2011, if the refinancing is not completed.


SOUTH CANAAN CELLULAR: Court Denies Request for Appraiser
---------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Bruce Fox denied a joint post-confirmation motion
by South Canaan Cellular Equity, LLC, seeking appointment of an
appraiser who would value a limited partnership in which the
Debtors hold interests; and the establishment of an information
gathering process by which the court-appointed appraiser would
value the limited partnership.  USCIC of Pennsylvania 5, Inc. --
formerly known as South Canaan Cellular Telephone Co. (Delaware)
-- which holds an interest in the limited partnership, objected to
the motion, arguing that the Court has no power to grant the
relief requested and that the parties' dispute over these two
issues must be resolved via arbitration.  Secured creditor
Lackawaxen Telecom, Inc., orally supported SCCTC's opposition.

The Debtors held interests in the limited partnership known as
South Canaan Cellular Communications Company, L.P., d/b/a Cellular
One of Northeast Pennsylvania, a limited partnership that provides
wireless communications services in Pennsylvania Rural Service
Area 5 located in Pike and Wayne Counties, Pennsylvania.  SCCCC LP
holds a cellular B-side FCC license.  SCCCC, LP has four limited
partners: South Canaan Telephone Co. holds a 10.2% limited
partnership interest; South Canaan Cellular Telephone Co., DE, a
wholly owned subsidiary of US Cellular, which is in turn a
subsidiary of TDS Telecommunications Corp., holds a 49% limited
partnership interest; debtor South Canaan Cellular Equity, LLC,
holds a 39.8% limited partnership interest; and debtor South
Canaan Cellular Investments, LLC, is the general partner of SCCCC,
LP, and holds a 1% limited partnership interest.

The Debtors held interests in the limited partnership known as
South Canaan Cellular Communications Company, L.P., d/b/a Cellular
One of Northeast Pennsylvania, a limited partnership that provides
wireless communications services in Pennsylvania Rural Service
Area 5 located in Pike and Wayne Counties, Pennsylvania.  SCCCC LP
holds a cellular B-side FCC license.

Pursuant to the Debtors' jointly proposed second amended
Chapter 11 plan, dated September 28, 2009 and confirmed under 11
U.S.C. Sec. 1129(b) on March 5, 2010, with an effective date of
May 7, 2010, the Debtors assumed a limited partnership agreement
with SCCTC and SCTC regarding SCCCC LP.  Funding for the plan
requires the sale of either SCCCC LP or the Debtors' interests in
the limited partnership, which sale is to occur within one year
from the effective date of the plan.

The Debtors were unable to procure a buyer for SCCCC LP, nor
obtain an offer to purchase that was acceptable to them within the
four months following the plan effective date.  Thus, they
executed the "put" provisions of the partnership agreement.

The parties agree that the Debtor general partner, SCCI, and SCCTC
exchanged their valuations of SCCCC LP, and that those valuations
differed by more than 10%.  They further concur that SCCI and
SCCTC could not agree upon an appraiser to value the limited
partnership.

SCCI and SCCTC each chose expert appraisers, as required by the
partnership agreement.

In their motion, the Debtors proposed a "protocol" or methodology
by which their independent appraiser would determine the fair
market value of the limited partnership.

A copy of Judge Fox's January 6, 2011 Memorandum is available
at http://is.gd/kilj9from Leagle.com.

South Canaan Cellular Investments, LLC, and South Canaan Cellular
Equity, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D. Pa. Case
Nos. 09-10473 and 09-10474) on January 25, 2009.  At the time of
the filing, the Debtors estimated their assets at $10 million to
$50 million and their liabilities at less than $10 million.  The
Bankruptcy Court has approved a chapter 11 plan for the Debtors
that would pay creditors' claims in full.


SOUTH EDGE: Bankruptcy Ruling to Impact Home Builders
-----------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Bill Parker remands the action, Blue Water
Endeavors, LLC, Robert Nordberg, and Dawn Nordberg, v. AC & Sons,
Inc., Colburn R. McClelland, Angie McClelland, and Robert O.
Grote, Adv. Pro. No. 10-1015 (Bankr. E.D. Tex.), to state court,
holding that all issues that remain are exclusively state law
issues among non-debtor parties.  The sole issue involving
bankruptcy jurisprudence has been resolved.

Blue Water, along with its individual owners, originally filed
suit in the 58th Judicial District Court of Jefferson County,
Texas under Cause No. A 187-070, styled Blue Water Endeavors, LLC
d/b/a Fat Mac's Smokehouse, et al. v. AC & Sons, Inc., et al.  The
action was commenced on June 14, 2010, almost 15 months after the
Debtor's plan was confirmed.

The Plaintiffs seek relief for various claims arising in the
prepetition period including, inter alia, breach of contract,
breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, several different
types of fraud, and various forms of misrepresentation.  The
defendants played some role in the original sale of Fat Mac's
Smokehouse to the Blue Water group.  The McClelland Defendants
removed the case to federal district court on July 30, 2010
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1334(b) as a matter arising under,
arising in, or relating to, the Blue Water bankruptcy case.  The
United States District Court then referred the case to the
Bankruptcy Court, which had previously handled the Blue
Water bankruptcy case.

A copy of the Court's January 6, 2011 Memorandum of Decision is
available at http://is.gd/kivxGfrom Leagle.com.

STANFORD INT'L: Investors Rush to Sue United States Government
--------------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean360.com reports that victims of Robert Allen Stanford's
alleged multi-billion dollar fraud are racing against time to sue
the United States government in an attempt to get back the money
they lost.

Because of the Statute of Limitations of two years, they have just
a few days to get their chance to sue the U.S. government for the
failure of the Securities and Exchange Commission to conduct
appropriate enforcement in Mr. Stanford's fraud, according to
Caribbean360.com.  The report relates that the suit argues that
despite receiving information years ago that Mr. Stanford was
likely running a Ponzi scheme, the SEC fell down on its duty to
investigate and stop him.

Caribbean360.com notes that the investors are being represented by
Dr. Gaytri Kachroo, the attorney who last November filed the class
action in the case of convicted American Ponzi schemer Bernard
Madoff.

"Dr. Kachroo indicates that if investors want to participate in an
action against the SEC, most likely a class action, they must file
claims immediately and no later than February 16, 2011. . . She
strongly advises international investors to contact and file all
documentation with Kachroo Legal Services prior to January 15,
2011 in order to timely process their claims," a statement from
the investors said, the report discloses.

Caribbean360.com adds that the deadline for the filing of the
claim comes two year after Mr. Stanford was charged, on
February 17, 2009, with multiple civil fraud and criminal charges
for allegedly running an US$8 billion Ponzi scheme.

Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control.  The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, 2009,
charged before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr.
Stanford and three of his companies for orchestrating a
fraudulent, multi- billion dollar investment scheme centering on
an US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program.

A criminal case was pursued against him in June 2009, before the
U.S. District Court in Houston, Texas.  Mr. Stanford pleaded not
guilty to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud, money-
laundering and obstruction of justice.  Assistant Attorney General
Lanny Breuer, as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said in a 57-
page indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250 years in
prison if convicted on all charges.  Mr. Stanford surrendered to
U.S. authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest on the
criminal charges.

The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342 (S.D. Tex.).  The
civil case is SEC v. Stanford International Bank, 09-cv-00298
(N.D. Tex.).

SUNDALE LTD: Kendall Hotel Faces Foreclosure Suit
-------------------------------------------------
Brian Bandell, writing for South Florida Business Journal, reports
that Los Angeles-based Florida Associates Capital Enterprises
filed a $6.3 million foreclosure lawsuit on Dec. 28 against
Sundale Ltd., Kendall Hotel and Suites and managing member Phillip
Scutieri Jr., according to Miami-Dade County Circuit Court
records.  It concerns the 158-room, four-story hotel at 9100 N.
Kendall Drive, not far from Baptist Hospital.  Built in 1979, the
hotel has a pool and tennis courts.

According to Business Journal, Miami attorney James C. Cunningham
said Sundale defaulted on the terms of its $6.3 million mortgage
with his client, Florida Associates Capital.  It either wants to
get repaid or take over the property, but its mortgage is
subordinate to a first mortgage from Miami-based Ocean Bank.

Business Journal also relates bankruptcy court records show that
Sundale also defaulted on its Ocean Bank mortgage under the
reorganization plan, but the parties agreed to a forbearance
agreement until June 1.  Sundale must pay Ocean Bank $14.5 million
by then or it could attempt to seize the property.

Business Journal relates Mr. Cunningham said Florida Associates
Capital has the option of paying off Ocean Bank or refinancing the
property. The hotel remains open, he added.

Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Sundale Ltd. fka Sundale
Associates Ltd. is an operative builder.  The Company filed for
Chapter 11 protection on December 12, 2007 (S.D. Fla. Case No.
07-21016).  Peter D. Russin, Esq., at Meland, Russin & Budwick
PA, represented the Debtor.  When the Debtor filed for
protection from its creditors, it estimated assets between
$50 million and $100 million and debts between $10 million
and $50 million.


SUPERMEDIA INC: Moody's Changes Default Rating to 'Ca/LD'
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed SuperMedia Inc.'s
Probability of Default Rating to Ca/LD from Caa1 following the
company's voluntary prepayment of $264 million of par value debt
for $185 million in cash.  The revision of the PDR to Ca/LD
reflects Moody's view that the transaction constitutes a
distressed exchange.  The PDR also reflects Moody's view that
additional exchanges at a discount are possible in the future.  In
3 days, Moody's will remove the LD designation and change the PDR
back to Caa1.

Simultaneously, Moody's has changed SuperMedia's outlook to
negative from stable based on Moody's concerns that the pace of
decline in revenue and new orders (as indicated by the company's
advertising sales), which is faster than Moody's had anticipated,
will persist despite a recovery in overall U.S. advertising
spending.  Although improved from the cycle's trough of down 21%
in 1Q'10/4Q'09, advertising sales were down 15% for 3Q'10 amidst a
generally improving advertising sector.  Continued weakness in ad
sales relative to expected spending in other print-based channels
and the overall advertising market suggests that the cyclical
recovery in client advertising spending is not stabilizing revenue
in the directory industry.  Moody's thus believes the magnitude of
the structural challenges the directory industry faces are more
severe than previously anticipated.

Moody's has taken these rating actions:

Issuer: SuperMedia Inc.

These ratings were changed:

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Ca/LD from Caa1 prior
  -- Outlook: Negative from Stable prior

These ratings are unchanged:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, B3
  -- $2.2 billion Term Loan, B3 LGD3-35%
  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity, SGL 2

Supermedia is struggling as increasing competition from the
rapidly evolving online and mobile business directory services
industry and the lingering impacts of the weak economy keeps
pressure on revenues.  While the company is attempting to
transition the business away from its reliance on print
advertising through development of online and mobile directory
service applications, Moody's is increasingly concerned that the
company will not be able to make this change quickly enough to
stabilize the revenue base over the intermediate term.  Further,
the high fixed cost nature of SuperMedia's business could lead to
steep margin compression, notwithstanding continued aggressive
cost management.

SuperMedia has good liquidity, supported by Moody's projection of
$150 million in cash at year end 2010 and ongoing positive free
cash flow.  The company requires minimal capital investment, well
below internally generated cash flows.  Additionally, SuperMedia
can opt to accrue approximately 20% of interest as principal,
offering additional flexibility.

Moody's could lower SuperMedia's ratings if the company's revenues
continue to fall at a double digit percentage rate, if it becomes
unable to produce free cash flow without exercising the PIK
option, or if its liquidity becomes strained.

The last rating action Moody's took on SuperMedia was on
January 29, 2010, when the company's ratings were assigned
following its exit from bankruptcy restructuring.

SuperMedia's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors that
Moody's considers relevant to the credit profile of the issuer,
such as the company's (i) business risk and competitive position
compared with others within the industry; (ii) capital structure
and financial risk; (iii) projected performance over the near to
intermediate term; and (iv) management's track record and
tolerance for risk.  Moody's compared these attributes against
other issuers both within and outside SuperMedia's core industry
and believes SuperMedia's ratings are comparable to those of other
issuers with similar credit risk.

SuperMedia Inc., headquartered in D/FW Airport, Texas, is the
second largest U.S. yellow pages publisher.  The company reported
revenues of $1.3 billion for the twelve months ended September 30,
2010.

TRANSCONTINENTAL REALTY: Affiliates File for Bankruptcy in Dallas
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NetDockets reports that three affiliates of Transcontinental
Realty Investors, Inc. voluntarily filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection in Dallas.  The report relates that the three companies
that filed bankruptcy petitions are FRE Real Estate, Inc. (f.k.a.
TCI Park West II, Inc.), NLP Cooley Associates, LP, and Signature
Athletic Limited Partnership.

According to the report, both NLP Cooley Associates and Signature
Athletic estimated assets and liabilities in the $1 to $10 million
range on their chapter 11 petitions.  The report notes that FRE
Real Estate, however, reported assets and liabilities both in the
range of $100 to $500 million.  According to the most recent
annual report available on TCI's website, FRE Real Estate is a
wholly-owned subsidiary which is incorporated in Nevada, the
report says.

NetDockets discloses that the company appears to own the Fenton
Center (Park West II) office complex in Dallas, which has almost
700,000 square feet of rental space and had occupancy of slightly
less than 75% as of December 31, 2009.  Signature Athletic is also
a wholly-owned subsidiary and is incorporated in Texas.

The report says that NLP Cooley Associates was not listed in TCI's
Form 10-K filing for 2009, but its petition lists TCI's
headquarters as its primary address as well.  Neither court
filings nor TCI's SEC filings identify which of TCI's 85 apartment
buildings and commercial properties are owned by either NLP Cooley
Associates or Signature Athletic, the report relates.

Dallas-based Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. is a real
estate investment company that owns a portfolio of income-
producing properties and land held for development. The Company's
portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential
apartment communities, office buildings, hotels and other
commercial properties.

TRICO MARINE: PACC Cancels "Mystic" MOA, Seeks Release of Escrow
----------------------------------------------------------------
In a regulatory filing Monday, Trico Marine Services, Inc.,
discloses that PACC Offshore Services Holding Pte Ltd. ("Buyer"),
on January 3, 2011, sent notice to Trico Marine Assets, Inc.
("Seller"), of Buyer's intention to cancel that certain Memorandum
of Agreement (the "MOA") dated November 23, 2010, regarding the
sale by Seller to Buyer of the Trico Mystic (the "Vessel").  Buyer
also requested immediate release of the purchase price (the "Sale
Proceeds").

By letter dated January 6, 2010, counsel to Seller advised Buyer
of Seller's position that neither the MOA nor the related Order
entered on December 1, 2010, by the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware Granting Motion to Approve the Sale
of Assets Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, and Encumbrances to
Buyer (the "Order") confers upon Buyer a right to a return of the
escrowed Sale Proceeds at this time.  Seller thereby advised Buyer
that Seller is prepared to close immediately and has satisfied all
performance conditions set forth in the Agreement.  Seller
believes that any refusal to close in accordance with the Order
may be in bad faith, and Seller reserves all rights to seek any
appropriate remedy to effectuate the provisions of the Order.

Seller, however, seeks a consensual closing of the sale of the
Vessel promptly.  However, no assurance can be given whether or
when a consensual closing will be consummated.

           Proceeds from Sale of Trico Mystic Have Not
             Been Applied to Tennenbaum Obligations

Reference is made to that certain Senior Secured, Super-Priority
Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of August 24, 2010,
as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of September 21,
2010, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of October 1, 2010,
(the "DIP Credit Agreement"), the Company, the Guarantors party
thereto from time to time, the Lenders party thereto from time to
time and Obsidian Agency Services, Inc., as agent.

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2010, the Company,
Seller, Trico Marine Operators, Inc., Trico Marine International,
Inc., Trico Holdco, LLC, and Trico Cayman, L.P. (collectively, the
"Debtors") and Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC ("Tennenbaum"),
the Lender under the DIP Credit Agreement, reached an agreement
regarding use of Cash Collateral under the DIP Credit Agreement.
The Debtors agreed to (i) comply with the budget filed with the
Bankruptcy Court on November 29, 2010, and (ii) use a portion of
proceeds from the sale of the Trico Mystic and Trico Moon, as
disclosed in the budget and along with proceeds from other asset
sales, to reduce its obligations to Tennenbaum.  Tennenbaum, in
return, agreed to consent to the use of its Cash Collateral.  The
Bankruptcy Court approved this agreement at the hearing on
November 29, 2010, and the sale of the Trico Moon closed on
December 10, 2010.

As a result of the failure to timely close the sale of the Trico
Mystic, the Sales Proceeds have to date not been applied to, among
other things, reduce the Debtors' obligations to Tennenbaum as
disclosed in the budget.

U.S. EAGLE: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in New Jersey
---------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth, New Jersey-based U.S. Eagle Corporation and six
subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 protection on Jan. 6, 2011
(Bankr. D. N.J. Lead Case No. 11-10392).

Samuel Jason Teele, Esq., at Lowenstein Sandler PC, in Roseland,
New Jersey, serves as counsel to the Debtors.

The Debtors' businesses are comprised of three separate and
distinct lines.  The most significant line of business consists of
the sale and rental of traffic control-related equipment, such as
traffic barricades, crash barrels and message boards, as well as
trench shoring equipment and steel plates.  This line of business
services customers primarily located in California, Nevada and
Arizona.  In addition, the Debtors design and distribute golf
course maintenance products to customers located principally in
the United States.  The third line of business consists of the
ownership of certain parcels of commercial real estate in Nevada
and California and the rental under a long term operating lease of
real property located in Trenton, New Jersey.

                  Prepetition Capital Structure

U.S. Eagle estimated assets and debts of $10 million to
$50 million in its Chapter 11 petition.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors owed $16,000,000 to Comerica
Bank pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated March 5, 2006, as
amended on March 27, 2007, November 30, 2007, November 14, 2008
and February 12, 2010 and two separate Secured Real Estate Loans
respecting (a) 2180 Pama Lane, Las Vegas, Nevada and (b) 6680
Surrey Street, Las Vegas, Nevada.  All of the Debtors' personal
and real property is pledged as collateral to Comerica in
connection with the Credit Agreement and Mortgages, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, the Debtors are indebted to various
parties in the aggregate approximate amount of $438,591 pursuant
to a $300,000 12% Subordinated Debenture dated November 1, 1989
issued by U.S. Eagle Corp. to Dawn E. Westphal (now Dawn
Thompson), a $300,000 12% Subordinated Debenture dated November 9,
1989 issued by U.S. Eagle Corp. to Margaret H. Westphal, and a
promissory note dated December 31, 1998 issued by TCS California
to Mark C. Sjobom in connection with the TCS California's 1998
acquisition of the business of Allied Trench Shoring Service, Inc.

In the ordinary course of business, the Debtors incur unsecured
trade debt by vendors, suppliers and service providers.  As of the
Petition Date, the aggregate amount of trade debt outstanding
totaled approximately $2 million.

James J. Westphal, Jr., and JJW Trust own 43.66% of equity in the
Debtors and five other Westphal entities own the remaining shares.

                   Events Leading to Chapter 11

According to a court filing, although the Debtors' operations
remain fundamentally sound, the recent economic downturn led to a
decrease in sales across the enterprise.  This decline was
particularly noticeable in the TCS business, which is heavily
dependent upon road and housing construction.

The decline in business forced the Debtors to borrow additional
funds from Comerica under the Credit Agreement and, as of the
Petition Date, the Debtors were in an over-advance position of
nearly $1,150,000.  The Debtors were unable to repay the over-
advance at the aggressive rate sought by Comerica, and the Debtors
and Comerica were unable to agree on a repayment schedule that the
Debtors' businesses could more readily support.

Based on certain statements made by Comerica and positions taken
by it in respect of the over-advance the Debtors grew concerned
that Comerica may take precipitous action -- such as sweeping the
Debtors' operating accounts -- which would cripple the Debtors'
businesses.  Moreover, Comerica likely was unaware of the full
extent of the over-advance, which heightened the Debtors' concerns
about dramatic action by Comerica that would impede operations.
Accordingly, the Debtors took the unavoidable and necessary step
of commencing these cases to protect their businesses and assets
for all stakeholders.

The Debtors are cautiously optimistic that in the context of a
chapter 11 proceeding, they will be able to quickly and
efficiently restructure the Comerica debt, rehabilitate their
businesses, and maximize distributions to all (secured and
unsecured) creditors.

the Opinion issued by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware:

WMI is pleased that the Bankruptcy Court found that the Global
Settlement Agreement is fair and reasonable and that WMI performed
a reasonable evaluation of the merits of the underlying

100% of the equity in WMI Investment.  When WaMu filed for

WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Judge Asks for Corrections to Chapter 11 Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Peg Brickley, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reports that Judge Mary F. Walrath on Friday refused to confirm
the Chapter 11 plan of Washington Mutual Inc.  According to DBR,
Judge Walrath ruled the settlement underpinning the distribution
scheme for Washington Mutual was fair and reasonable.  Judge
Walrath, however, found deficiencies in the Chapter 11 plan that
will require correction if it is to pass legal muster.

DBR says Judge Walrath disapproved many of the lawsuit releases
Washington Mutual wanted to extend, but not those that protect
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
from continued litigation aimed at them by WaMu or creditors who
may ultimately collect under the plan.  Judge Walrath also found
fault with a decision to bar smaller holders of so-called PIERS
claims, one of many classes of securities issued by the bank
holding company in its heyday, from participating in a rights
offering for the reorganized Washington Mutual.

DBR relates Judge Walrath held that the split of cash, tax refunds
and other assets was a reasonable deal, given the complexities of
the legal issues and the determination of those on the other side
of the tug-of-war: regulators and JPMorgan.

The Chapter 11 plan settlement gives WaMu the cash in its bank
accounts, more than $4 billion, and an estimated $2.2 billion
share of tax refunds.  The FDIC gets some tax refund cash to dish
out to WaMu's creditors.

JPMorgan, which paid $1.8 billion for WaMu, gets more than
$2.3 billion of the WaMu tax refunds, corporate-owned and
business-owned life insurance worth as much as $5 billion, and
trust preferred securities with a liquidation value of $4 billion,
as well as the branches and other assets of the thrift.

JPMorgan gets the WaMu name and trademarks under the deal.  Judge
Walrath noted the company contended that the name and trademarks
aren't worth much to Washington Mutual "because they are
associated with the largest bank failure in the country's
history."

In the absence of a settlement, Washington Mutual's creditors
would have to wait years to know whether lawsuits would pay off,
the judge said, according to DBR.  In the meantime, Washington
Mutual would be racking up $30 million per month of interest on
debts owed its most senior creditors and spending $10 million per
month on legal fees.

DBR notes that if the plan is ultimately approved, WaMu will
continue to exist after bankruptcy, largely under the control of
four hedge funds: Appaloosa Management, Centerbridge Partners, Owl
Creek Asset Management and Aurelius Capital Management.  WaMu will
no longer be in the banking business, but will exist only to
manage an existing portfolio of reinsurance business.

According to the report, plan objectors noted that reorganized
WaMu could potentially be transformed into a massive tax shelter,
taking advantage of up to $5 billion worth of net operating losses
stemming from the loss of the bank operations.

DBR says WaMu contended the reorganized company will have little
income-generating business, and would have limited ability to use
the NOL tax breaks.  Judge Walrath disagreed with WaMu, finding
the ability to participate in the rights offering is worth
something.

"Therefore, the court cannot accept, as the plan supporters
contend, that the rights offering is of no value," Judge Walrath
wrote, ordering WaMu to rewrite its Chapter 11 plan to allow all
holders of PIERS claims to participate in the rights offering, the
report says.

WESTINGHOUSE AIR: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'BB'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said that it has affirmed
its ratings, including the 'BB' corporate credit rating, on
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp. and revised the
outlook to positive from stable.

"The outlook revision to positive reflects S&P's expectation that,
despite weak conditions in some of its end markets, Wabtec will
likely continue to demonstrate good operating performance and
credit measures," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Robyn
Shapiro.

The ratings on Wabtec reflect the company's significant financial
risk profile, characterized by an acquisitive growth strategy, and
its satisfactory business risk profile.  Wabtec is a global
provider of value-added, technology-based products and services
for rail and industrial markets.  The company manufactures a range
of products for locomotives, freight cars, and passenger transit
vehicles.  It also builds new switcher and commuter locomotives,
and provides aftermarket services, including locomotive overhauls
and fleet maintenance, supplier-managed inventory, component
repair, upgrade, and reconditioning.  Wabtec maintains about a 50%
market share in braking products and leading positions in its
other product lines in North America.  Its significant installed
base supports its aftermarket parts and services business, which
represents about half of the company's revenue.

The positive outlook reflects S&P's expectations that Wabtec will
sustain adequate credit protection measures, even with its
acquisitive growth strategy.  "S&P could raise the ratings if, for
example, Wabtec continues to deliver FFO to total adjusted debt
greater than 30%, and total adjusted debt to EBITDA less than 3x,"
Ms. Shapiro continued.  "S&P could revise the outlook back to
stable if FFO to total debt falls to and remains around 20% to 25%
for an extended period."


YRC WORLDWIDE: Thomas Gerke Does Not Own Any Securities
-------------------------------------------------------
In a Form 3 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
January 4, 2011, Thomas A. Gerke, executive VP and general counsel
at YRC Worldwide Inc., disclosed that he does not own any
securities of the company.

                        About YRC Worldwide

Headquartered in Overland Park, Kan., YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ:
YRCW) -- http://www.yrcw.com/-- is a holding company that through
wholly owned operating subsidiaries offers its customers a wide
range of transportation services.  These services include global,

The company's balance sheet for June 30, 2010, showed $2.8 billion

                           *     *     *

about YRC Worldwide's ability to continue as a going concern in
its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as

declines in operations, cash flows, and liquidity.


* Chapter 11 Sale Offers a New Way of Dealing with Bank Failures
----------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that the recent sale of a
Washington state bank out of chapter 11 created a new tool that
potentially could rescue hundreds of similarly troubled
institutions and save the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. billions
of dollars.


* Orlando & Arizona Banks Are 2011's First Bank Failures
--------------------------------------------------------
U.S. banking regulators shuttered two lenders, one each in Florida
and Arizona.

First Southern Bancorp purchased First Commercial Bank of Florida
while St. Louis-based Enterprise Bank & Trust bought Legacy Bank
of Scottsdale, Arizona.  The closures cost the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.'s deposit-insurance fund $105.9 million.

ABC News Radio notes that Florida, the state with the most bank
failures in 2010, begins the new year with the first bank failure
of 2011 in the United States.

Boca Raton's First Southern Bank has taken over ownership of First
Commercial.  Legacy has been taken over by Enterprise Bank and
Trust out of St. Louis.

Real-estate losses have driven 2010 bank failures to 157.
Regulators have closed 322 banks since the start of 2008.

ABC News notes that the FDIC last week announced it is going after
bank executives associated with failed banks, seeking $2.5 billion
from 109 individuals.

                  2011 Failed Banks List

The FDIC was appointed as receiver for the closed banks.  To
protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with various banks that agreed to assume the
deposits of most of the closed banks.  The FDIC also entered into
loss-share transactions on assets bought by the banks.

For this year, the failed banks are:

                                   Loss-Share
                                 Transaction Party     FDIC Cost
                     Assets of    Bank That Assumed   to Insurance
                    Closed Bank  Deposits & Bought      Fund
   Closed Bank       (millions)   Certain Assets       (millions)
   -----------       ----------   --------------      -----------
Legacy Bank, Arizona     $150.6  Enterprise Bank & Trust    $27.9
First Commercial Bank    $598.5  First Southern Bank        $78.0

In 2010, there were 157 failed banks, compared with 140 in 2009
and just 25 for 2008.

A complete list of banks that failed since 2000 is available at:

             860 Banks Now in FDIC's Problem List

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said in is latest
quarterly banking profile that the number of institutions on its
"Problem List" rose to 860 as of Sept. 30, 2010, from 829 at
June 30, 2010.  There were 775 banks on the list at the end of the
first quarter.

The FDIC, however, pointed out that the total assets of "problem"
institutions declined from $403 billion to $379 billion.  The
number of "problem" institutions is the highest since March 31,
1993, when there were 928.  Forty-one insured institutions failed
during the third quarter, bringing the total number of failures
for the first three quarters of the year to 127.

The number of insured commercial banks and savings institutions
reporting quarterly financial results fell from 7,830 in the
second quarter to 7,760 in the third quarter.  Five new reporting
institutions were added during the quarter, while 30 institutions
were absorbed into other charters through mergers.

The FDIC noted that the number of employees (full-time equivalent)
increased for a second consecutive quarter, after falling in each
of the previous 12 quarters.  The 0.4% (8,195) increase lifted the
industry's total employment to 2.04 million, which is still 8.2%
below the peak of 2.22 million reported in first quarter 2007.

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) balance improved for the third
consecutive quarter.  The DIF balance -- the net worth of the fund
-- improved from negative $15.2 billion to negative $8 billion
during the third quarter.  The improvement stemmed primarily from
assessment revenues and from a reduction in the contingent loss
reserve.  This reserve, which covers the costs of expected
failures, declined from $27.5 billion to $21.3 billion during the
quarter.  While part of the decline reflects the removal of
amounts reserved for banks that failed, part also reflects lower
costs for future failures.

The FDIC added that its liquid resources -- cash and marketable
securities -- remained strong.  Liquid resources stood at
$43.7 billion at the end of the third quarter, essentially
unchanged from the second quarter.

"While we expect demands on cash to continue," Chairman Bair said,
"our projections indicate that our current resources are more than
enough to resolve anticipated failures and meet outstanding
obligations for banks that have already failed."

Total insured deposits declined by 0.3% ($15 billion) during the
quarter.

Chairman Bair said, "The industry has come a long way in cleaning
up balance sheets, building capital, and adjusting to changes in
financial markets and the economy.  But the adjustments are not
over, and this is no time for complacency."

* Lindquist & Vennum Taps Dennis O'Malley as New Managing Partner
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lindquist & Vennum PLLP disclosed that Dennis O'Malley will be the
firm's new managing partner, effective January 2011.  O'Malley, a
partner and chair of the firm's corporate law department, succeeds
Daryle Uphoff, who served as managing partner for 16 years.
O'Malley, who has been with Lindquist & Vennum for 30 years, most
recently served a two-year term on the firm's executive committee.
Daryle Uphoff will return to full-time practice as a partner and
leader in the firm's bankruptcy and creditor's remedies group.

Daryle Uphoff, exiting managing partner, on the recent
appointment: "Dennis has demonstrated exceptional leadership
qualities in many different roles in which he has served the firm.
He enjoys the respect of all our lawyers and staff, and I am
confident that the firm will continue to prosper under his
leadership."

Dennis O'Malley, on Uphoff's term end: "Daryle will be a tough act
to follow.  His easy-going personality really set the tone for
Lindquist & Vennum's collegiality and success during the 16 years
of his term.  He has a knack for bringing people together to solve
a problem; everyone trusts his judgment and respects his
decisions.  I imagine that I'll still be knocking on his door for
advice, even as he continues his very busy bankruptcy practice.
He's a great friend to all of us. Plus, he has one of the best
laughs in the world."

Regarding his goals as managing partner, O'Malley says "I want to
maintain and grow Lindquist & Vennum's reputation as a client-
centered, entrepreneurial law firm.  We've got a tremendously
talented group of lawyers practicing in a well-balanced mix of
practices.  I believe our lawyers provide our clients with
pragmatic legal solutions that really add value to their
businesses.  In addition, our founder Leonard Lindquist was
intensely committed to serving the less fortunate in our
communities.  I'm very proud of our involvement in pro bono
activities, all of which will continue. I will work to keep
Lindquist & Vennum known as a great place to work."

As managing partner, O'Malley will chair the firm's executive
committee, which is responsible for day-to-day operational
decisions; and the firm's management committee, which focuses on
strategic vision and implementation of the firm's strategic plan.
O'Malley will continue to manage a significant portion of his
legal practice while serving as managing partner, particularly for
long-standing clients.

O'Malley joined Lindquist & Vennum as an associate in 1981, was
named partner in 1986, and served on the firm's management
committee from 1992-1995.  His legal practice is focused primarily
on business transactions.  He has extensive experience in mergers
and acquisitions, management buyouts, and complex financing
transactions.  He regularly represents entrepreneurs, private
equity funds, and other investors in middle-market transactions
across a broad spectrum of industries and locales.  O'Malley is a
graduate of the University of Michigan Law School (J.D., cum
laude, 1981) and of the University of Michigan (B.B.A., with high
distinction, 1978).

                  About Lindquist & Vennum PLLP

corporate finance, transactional, and litigation services from

                           *********

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.
