15-35 HEMPSTEAD: Trustee Taps Philip Rhyne as Property Supervisor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Gloria M. Burns of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey authorized Karen L. Gilman, the Chapter 11
Trustee for 15-35 Hempstead Properties, LLC, and Jackson 299
Hempstead LLC,  to retain Philip Rhyne as on-site property
supervisor.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on May 31, 2011, the
Debtors on March 10, 2011, obtained permission from the Court to
employ Saligman-Decker Associates, LLC, as their property
managers.

The Debtors said they need Philip Rhyne to manage their property
by collecting rents, preparing an annual budget, overseeing
maintenance of the property, overseeing the acquisition of
insurance, keeping property records, preparing records and
overseeing landlord-tenant issues.

On April 22, 2011, Saligman-Decker hired Philip Rhyne as on-site
property manager, pending the execution of a formal contract and
presumably, filing of a formal retention application with the
Court.  Saligman-Decker did not file an application consistent
with the Consent Order or Section 327(a) of the Code.  The Letter
of Agreement specifies that Mr. Rhyne will be paid as a 1099
Contractor with no benefits at an annual salary of $47,500 plus
$5,000 bonus on Dec. 31.  The Letter of Agreement provides for
an April 23, start date.  Mr. Rhyne's compensation also includes a
two-bedroom apartment, presumably at the Property.  The Letter
Agreement provides that all other terms of employment as vacation
and severance are to be determined pending the execution of formal
contract.

Following the appointment of chapter 11 trustee on May 4,
Saligman-Decker abruptly resigned as manager.  Despite Saligman-
Decker's resignation, Mr. Rhyne has acted in good faith as on-site
property supervisor with daily presence at the property and
continues to act in this capacity pursuant to the Letter
Agreement.

The Trustee said that an on-site supervisor with a daily presence
at the Debtors' property is critical to the preservation of the
Debtor's assets, given that the property consists of multiple
residential apartment units.

AMERICAN AXLE: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to 'B1'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service raised American Axle & Manufacturing
Holdings, Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of
Default Rating (PDR) to B1 from B2. In a related action, the
rating on American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc.'s (American Axle)
senior secured note was raised to Ba1 from Ba2, and the ratings on
the unsecured guaranteed notes were raised to B2 from B3. The
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating was affirmed at SGL-3. The
rating outlook is Stable.

Ratings raised:

   American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.

   -- Corporate Family Rating, to B1 from B2;

   -- Probability of Default Rating, to B1 from B2;

   American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc.

   -- Senior secured guaranteed note, to Ba1 (LGD2 17%) from Ba2
      (LGD2 16%);

   -- Unsecured guaranteed notes, to B2 (LGD5 73%) from B3 (LGD5,
      74%);

Ratings affirmed:

   American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-3

Rating Rationale

The raising of American Axle's CFR to B1 incorporates Moody's
expectation that the company's improved year-over-year EBIT margin
will largely be sustained over intermediate-term despite potential
temporary automotive production disruptions and high gasoline
prices. The reduction in the company's structural costs, achieved
through wage negotiations, and restructuring actions taken over
the recent years, has positioned American Axle to benefit from
improving automotive production trends in North America. The
company's revenues continue to be highly concentrated with GM (75%
of 2010 revenues) and with GM's GMT900 platform. Yet, sales of
this product have continued to improve through the first quarter
of 2011, driven by replacement demand of traditional commercial
and small business users. While this trend is expected to continue
through 2011, the pace of further growth will be tempered by
increasing fuel prices. American Axle also maintains a strong
backlog of new business of approximately $950 million which is
expected to further diversify the company's revenues away from GM
and away from North America (about 92% of 2010 revenues). For the
LTM period ending March 31, 2011, American Axle's EBIT/Interest
coverage (including Moody's adjustments) approximated 2.1x, while
Debt/EBITDA approximated 3.5x (3.9x, adjusted for the company's
early payment terms with GM). These metrics are expected to
improve over the intermediate-term.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that American
Axle's credit metrics will support the assigned rating over the
intermediate-term despite the potential for interruptions in OEM
automotive production due to disruptions in supplies from Japan.

American Axle's liquidity profile over the next twelve months
should remain at adequate levels as indicated by the Speculative
Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-3. Cash balances at March 31, 2011
were approximately $217 million. American Axle is expected to be
modesty cash flow positive over the near-term as the company's
improved profitability should offset incremental working capital
needs and capital expenditures used to support growth. Liquidity
is supported by availability under the $296 million revolving
credit facility which was unfunded as of March 31, 2011, with
about $25 million of letters of credit outstanding. The
commitments under the revolving credit reduces to $243 million in
December 2011 and will mature in June 2013. The company also
maintains a $100 million committed second lien facility from GM,
unused at March 31, 2011, which matures in December 2013.
Principal financial covenants under the revolving credit facility
include a secured debt/EBITDA test, and an EBITDA/interest expense
test. American Axle is expected to have ample covenant cushion and
access to the vast majority of the revolving credit facility over
the near-term. Availability under the revolving credit also is
governed by a collateral coverage test. The security provided to
the lenders as part of the bank credit facility limits the
company's alternate sources of liquidity.

Future events that have the potential to raise American Axle's
ratings or outlook include: further higher levels of automotive
production or new business wins resulting in increase revenues and
operating margins. Consideration for a positive outlook or higher
ratings could arise if these factors were to lead to sustained
EBIT/Interest coverage over 2.5x, Debt/EBITDA below 3.0, and
sustained positive FCF.

Downward rating migration would arise if industry conditions were
to deteriorate without sufficient offsetting restructuring actions
or savings by the company. Other considerations for a downward
revision include if American Axle is unable to maintain adequate
liquidity levels to operate through a prolonged industry downturn,
or lack of liquidity to support improving industry volumes
resulting in a loss of market share or new platform opportunities.

The principal methodology used in rating American Axle &
Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. was the Global Automotive Supplier
Industry Methodology, published January 2009. Other methodologies
used include Loss Given Default for Speculative Grade Issuers in
the US, Canada, and EMEA, published June 2009.

American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc., headquartered in Detroit, MI,
is a world leader in the manufacture, design, engineering and
validation of driveline systems and related components and
modules, chassis systems, and metal formed products for light
truck, SUV's and passenger cars. The company has manufacturing
locations in the USA, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Brazil, China,
Poland, and India. The company reported revenues of $2.3 billion
in 2010.

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

AMERICAN TV: To Close Four Stores in St. Louis
----------------------------------------------
The St. Louis Business Journal reports that American TV &
Appliance plans to close its four St. Louis-area locations and
will start liquidation sales Saturday, affecting hundreds of
workers.

The Company decided to close the stores in Bridgeton, Fenton,
Cottleville and O'Fallon, Ill., because the "economy has hit
St. Louis harder than any of our other regions," company spokesman
Stephen DeShong said. "Our other stores are performing quite
well."

American first entered the St. Louis market in October 2004.
After the closing sales wrap in several weeks, the report notes,
American will have 11 remaining stores in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan
and Wisconsin.

American TV & Appliance is a Madison, Wis.-based retailer.  The
company employs 125 workers.

AMTRUST FINANCIAL: Bancorp Objects to Plan's Liability Releases
---------------------------------------------------------------
Evan Weinberger at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Bancorp Bank, an
online bank holding $2.3 million in AmFin Financial Corp.
securities, told an Ohio bankruptcy court Tuesday that AmFin's
reorganization plan and disclosure statement should be rejected
because the litigation releases it provides are too broad.

In an objection, Law360 relates, Bancorp said it was considering
whether it will bring litigation against AmFin over its issuance
of a large volume of high risk, no-documentation loans, known as
Alt-A loans in some quarters and liar loans in others.

                     The Chapter 11 Plan

As reported in the May 31, 2011 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, although there is no conclusion yet to litigation
with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. that will determine
whether creditors receive anything at all, there will be a hearing
on June 10 for approval of the explanatory disclosure statement
explaining the proposed Chapter 11 plan for AmTrust Financial
Corp.  The disclosure statement and plan was amended mid April.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, notes
that for now, AmTrust has the upper hand with the FDIC.  Last
year, U.S. District Judge Donald C. Nugent in Cleveland ruled that
documents were ambiguous as to whether the holding company was
under a commitment to provide capital to the bank subsidiary.  The
FDIC claimed the unfulfilled commitment was $550 million.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that at trial in April, a jury concluded
there was no commitment and thus no right for the FDIC to collect
$550 million from the AmTrust holding company, even though the
bank failed four days after AmTrust filed under Chapter 11 in
November 2009.  After the district judge enters judgment for
AmTrust, the holding company assumes the FDIC will appeal. The
pendency of the appeal will prevent a distribution to creditors
even if the plan is confirmed in the meantime.

Mr. Rochelle adds that there is a second dispute with the FDIC
over the entitlement to a $194 million tax refund for 2009 that
the Internal Revenue Service is yet to pay.  The FDIC claimed the
right to collect all but $9 million of the refund.  Since the tax
refund is the largest asset, the outcome of the dispute will
determine whether there is much to distribute to unsecured
creditors, even if AmTrust beats back the FDIC on its claim for
the $550 million.

                       About AmTrust Financial

AmTrust Financial Corp (PINK: AFNL) was the owner of the AmTrust
Bank.  AmTrust was the seventh-largest holder of deposits in South
Florida, with $4.7 billion in deposits and 21 branches.

In November 2008, the Office of Thrift Supervision issued a cease
and desist order requiring AmTrust to improve its capital ratios.

AmTrust Financial, together with affiliates that include AmTrust
Management Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No. 09-21323) on Nov. 30, 2009.  The debtor
subsidiaries include AmFin Real Estate Investments, Inc., formerly
AmTrust Real Estate Investments, Inc. (Case No. 09-21328).

G. Christopher Meyer, Esq., Christine M. Piepont, Esq., and Sherri
L. Dahl, Esq., at Squire Sanders & Dempsey (US) LLP, in Cleveland,
Ohio; and Stephen D. Lerner, Esq., at Squire Sanders & Dempsey
(US) LLP, in Cincinnati, Ohio, serve as counsel to the Debtors.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants serves as claims and notice agent.
Attorneys at Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP serve as counsel to the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  AmTrust Management
estimated $100 million to $500 million in assets and liabilities
in its Chapter 11 petition.

AmTrust Bank was not part of the Chapter 11 filings.  On Dec. 4,
2009, AmTrust Bank was closed by regulators and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation was named receiver.  New York
Community Bank, in Westbury, New York, assumed all of the deposits
of AmTrust Bank pursuant to a deal with the FDIC.


ANGELO & MAXIE'S: Files Plan After Sale to Landry's
---------------------------------------------------
Angelo & Maxie's filed a Chapter 11 plan a week after it was
authorized to sell its steakhouse at Park Avenue, in Manhattan, to
Landry's Restaurants Inc.  The hearing for approval of the
explanatory disclosure statement is set for June 21.

Mr. Rochelle relates that Houston-based Landry's paid about
$3 million for the 230-seat restaurant.  From the proceeds,
$1.19 million covered secured debt that Landry's acquired.
Another $600,000 went to other secured claims while $160,000 was
set aside for unsecured creditors and $250,000 for expenses of the
Chapter 11 case.  An additional $339,000 was used to cure breaches
of the lease.  Unsecured creditors with about $530,000 in claims
are to split the $160,000 plus recoveries from lawsuits.

The official creditors' committee supports the Plan, according to
the report.

Angelo & Maxie's, LLC filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 11-11112) in Manhattan on March 14, 2011.  Dawn K.
Arnold, Esq., at Rattet Pasternak, LLP, in Harrison, New York,
serves as counsel.  The Debtor estimated up to $1 million in
assets and debts of $1 million to $10 million as of the Chapter 11
filing.


ASHLAND INC: ISP Buyout Cues S&P to Put 'BB+' CCR on Watch Neg.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'BB+' corporate
credit rating, 'BBB' senior secured debt rating, and 'BB-'
subordinated debt rating on Ashland Inc. on CreditWatch with
negative implications.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's placed its 'BB' senior
unsecured debt rating on Ashland's $650 million of notes due 2017
on CreditWatch with developing implications.

"The CreditWatch placement reflects the likelihood that we will
lower most of our ratings on Ashland and its debt issues following
its acquisition of ISP because of the resulting increase in debt
leverage," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cynthia Werneth.
However, Standard & Poor's may raise, lower, or affirm the rating
on Ashland's $650 million notes due 2017. These notes are
currently unsecured, but Standard & Poor's expects them to become
secured as a result of this transaction.

The acquisition furthers Ashland's strategy of expanding its
specialty chemical offerings, improving profitability, and
increasing the predictability of operating results. U.S.-based ISP
(whose indirect subsidiary ISP Chemco LLC Standard & Poor's rates
'BB-') is a leading manufacturer of functional ingredients for the
personal care and pharmaceutical markets. Its products include
emulsifiers, emollients, and excipients. In addition, the company
manufactures polymers and other products used in oilfield and
other industrial applications as well as ingredients in detergents
and other household products.

Ashland expects to finance the acquisition and about $200 million
in estimated transaction costs using $2.9 billion of committed
secured bank financing and $500 million of cash on hand.
Management expects the transaction to close by the end of
September subject to customary closing conditions, including U.S.
and European Union regulatory approval.

"We expect to resolve the CreditWatch during the next few weeks
after evaluating management's business strategies, integration
plans, financing arrangements and new capital structure, and pace
of prospective debt reduction," Ms. Werneth said.

BANNING LEWIS: Wants Plan Exclusivity Until Aug. 29
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Banning Lewis Ranch, which has scheduled auctions for
its properties in late June, is asking the bankruptcy court in
Delaware to extend the exclusive period for filing a Chapter 11
plan by three months until Aug. 29.  The hearing for approval of
the sales is set for June 29, the same day as the hearing on the
so-called exclusivity motion.

Banning Lewis, according to the report, said the project "is not a
simple asset to sell."  It wants more time so prospective buyers
can "fully explore and exhaust all transactions opportunities."

Mr. Rochelle relates that the Debtor's properties are being sold
in two lots. The company filed a Chapter 11 plan in May that
included the auction sales, which will determine who will sponsor
a reorganization.  The parent company's assets presumably will be
purchased in return for forgiveness of financing for the Chapter
11 case and assumption of a modified term loan with KeyBank NA.
The intended purchasers are Greenfield BLR Finance Partners LP and
DBL Investors LLC.  A definitive purchase agreement was filed by
the May 27 deadline.

                         About Banning Lewis

Banning Lewis Ranch Co. is the owner of the undeveloped portion of
a 21,000-acre ranch in Colorado Springs, Colo.  Banning Lewis
Ranch is a master-planned community in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The first section built, the 350-acre Northtree Village, opened in
September 2007 and will have 1,000 homes priced from the high
$100,000s to the mid-$300,000s.

Banning Lewis Ranch filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
from creditors (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 10-13445) on Oct. 28,
2010.  It estimated assets of $50 million to $100 million and
debts of $100 million to $500 million in its Chapter 11 petition.

An affiliate, Banning Lewis Ranch Development I & II, LLC, also
filed for Chapter 11 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 10-13446).

Kevin Scott Mann, Esq., at Cross & Simon, LLC, serves as counsel
to the Debtors.  Edward A. Phillips of Eisner Amper LLP has been
retained as the Company's chief restructuring officer.


BARNES BAY: Asks U.S. Court to Undo Anguilla Court Authorization
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Viceroy Anguilla Resort and Residences on the island
of Anguilla in the British West Indies filed papers asking the
bankruptcy judge in Delaware to rethink authorization he gave in
May allowing buyers of four units to enforce their rights in the
court in Anguilla.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that after the bankruptcy court authorized
an auction for the project to be held in Anguilla on July 27,
purchasers of four units went to bankruptcy court arguing that the
U.S. court had no right to undo prior rulings by a court in
Anguilla.  In one instance, the buyer had an order from the court
in Anguilla prohibiting sale of the specific unit until it was
repaid its $2 million deposit.  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Peter J.
Walsh responded by signing an order May 24 allowing four unit
purchasers "to pursue whatever rights they believe they have in
their respective units in the Anguillan court."

According to Mr. Rochelle, in this week's bankruptcy court filing,
the resort argues that the order from May goes too far and would
allow the unit purchasers to attach or seize property in Anguilla.
The resort wants the bankruptcy judge to limit his order by
allowing the court in Anguilla to do nothing more than declare the
rights of the purchasers.

Mr. Rochelle relates that at the auction in July, secured creditor
Starwood Capital Group LLC is expected to be the winner.  Starwood
would take title after a reorganization plan is approved at a
confirmation hearing.

                         About Barnes Bay

Beverly Hills, California-based Barnes Bay Development Ltd., owns
the Viceroy Anguilla Resort & Residences on the British West
Indies island of Anguilla.  Barnes Bay and two affiliates filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
11-10792) on March 17, 2011.  The Debtor disclosed US$3,331,282 in
assets and US$481,840,435 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11
filing.

Akin Gump Straus Hauer & Feld LLP is the Debtors' bankruptcy
counsel, and Keithley Lake & Associates is the Debtors' special

serves as the Committee's financial advisors.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Ruling Today on UniCredit Withdrawal of Ref.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff will issue a ruling
today, June 3, on whether all or part of the lawsuit filed by the
trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities Inc. will be
decided initially by a U.S. district court rather than the
bankruptcy court.  Parties appeared before Judge Rakoff on May 31
for oral argument on the Italian bank's so-called withdrawal of
the reference motion.

According to the report, the bank believes that rules governing
lawsuits in bankruptcy court require transferring the
$58.8 billion suit out of bankruptcy court because the case
requires resolution of conflicts between bankruptcy law and
nonbankruptcy federal laws.  Judge Rakoff said he would issue a
ruling on June 3 describing what parts of the suits are properly
decided in the first instance in district court.  UniCredit says
that only a district judge should decide whether the Racketeer
Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act can apply to an alleged
conspiracy taking place almost entirely outside the U.S.  The bank
also contends the RICO statute can't be applied to foreigners in
transactions that took place abroad.

Mr. Rochelle relates that the Madoff trustee in his complaint
seeks damages of $19.6 billion trebled to $58.8 billion if the
trustee were to prove that the actions qualify as a criminal
enterprise under RICO.  Other defendants in the suit include
UniCredit subsidiary Bank Austria, Bank Medici AG and Sonja Kohn,
its founder.

Mr. Rochelle notes that Judge Rakoff already has a track record on
taking Madoff lawsuits out of bankruptcy court.  In April, he
ruled that he should decide whether to dismiss five counts in the
Madoff trustee's $9 billion suit against HSBC Holdings Plc.
Another judge, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon, ruled on May 4
that the trustee's $6.4 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase &
Co. belongs in district court.

                       About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping $50 billion.  On Dec. 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 Feb. 18, 2011, a total of $6.85 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with $791.1 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.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Trustee Gets Fees, Criticism
-----------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities Inc. received approval June 1 for $43.9 million in fees
for himself and his law firm covering four months ended Jan. 31.

Eric Hornbeck at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Bankruptcy Judge
Burton R. Lifland reprimanded Helen Davis Chaitman of Becker &
Poliakoff LLP, who represents about 800 Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities LLC investors who were "net winners" of
Bernard L. Madoff's criminal Ponzi scheme, for being the only
objector to the trustee's fees out of the hundreds of lawyers and
law firms involved in the case.

Mr. Rochelle notes that although the bankruptcy judge went easy on
the trustee at the June 1 hearing, the same wasn't true with
regard to fees when the trustee appeared before Judge Jed Rakoff
in U.S. District Court the preceding day on an unrelated matter.
Having read about Mr. Picard's fees and hearing complaints from
some customers, Judge Rakoff said he would think about "whether I
need to withdraw the reference on payment of fees."  The reference
is withdrawn when a district court takes a particular dispute out
of the bankruptcy court and handles it in the higher court.
Judge Rakoff has already taken some Madoff lawsuits out of
bankruptcy court and may remove more.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Alpha, Senator Funds Blame Losses on HSBC
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Alpha Prime Fund Ltd. and Senator Fund SPC,
investment funds created in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands,
respectively, filed cross claims on May 27 against HSBC Holdings
Plc and its affiliates, claiming the London-based bank was
responsible for their losses from the fraud perpetrated by Bernard
L. Madoff Investment Securities Inc.

According to Mr. Rochelle, contending they were not feeder funds,
Alpha and Senator along with HSBC were among the dozens of
defendants in an amended complaint the Madoff trustee filed in
December.  The trustee contended in the suit that HSBC "enabled"
Mr. Madoff's Ponzi scheme and engaged in "financial fraud and
misconduct" by being "willfully and deliberately blind to the
fraud."

Mr. Rochelle notes that the two funds pick up on the trustee's
allegations against HSBC by contending that the bank secretly made
an agreement for the Madoff firm to take over custodial
responsibilities.  They said HSBC "intentionally concealed"
reports from outside auditors in 2006 and 2008 detailing the risk
of fraud resulting from dealings with Mr. Madoff.

The two funds, according to the report, made claims against HSBS
including fraud, fraudulent concealment, negligent
misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty.  In addition to
denying they have any liability to the Madoff trustee, the funds
want HSBC to reimburse them for any damages or losses they sustain
as a result of the Madoff fraud.

Mr. Rochelle notes that the Madoff trustee's December complaint
against HSBC and other defendants seeks $9 billion on "theories of
contribution" and $2.3 billion for receipt of fraudulent
transfers.  The complaint said the HSBC feeder funds directed over
$8.9 billion to Mr. Madoff.

Had they "reacted appropriately" to "obvious badges of fraud," the
Madoff trustee said the illicit scheme would have ended years
sooner, Mr. Rochelle notes.

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 Feb. 18, 2011, a total of $6.85 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with $791.1 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.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Fairfield Sentry Liquidators May File Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the bankruptcy judge in New York ruled that
liquidators from the British Virgin Islands for Fairfield Sentry
funds have the right to bring lawsuits in bankruptcy court under
the umbrella of the funds' Chapter 15 cases.  Fairfield Sentry
Ltd. and affiliates were the largest of the so-called feeder funds
that invested in the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities Inc.

Mr. Rochelle recalls that in July, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R.
Lifland gave the liquidators permanent protection in the U.S.
under Chapter 15 when he found that the liquidations in the
British Virgin Islands were the so-called foreign main
proceedings, Mr. Rochelle says

Before and after Chapter 15 relief was granted, Mr. Rochelle
notes, the liquidators filed 209 lawsuits in the U.S. to recover
almost $5.8 billion, including $690 million in so-called
fictitious profits.  The liquidators had the lawsuits transferred
to bankruptcy court in Manhattan.

Mr. Rochelle discloses that defendants in 42 of the lawsuits filed
papers telling Judge Lifland the cases should be returned to state
courts.  They contended that the bankruptcy court doesn't have
jurisdiction to hear the suits.  The defendants lost when Judge
Lifland ruled on May 23 that the bankruptcy court has jurisdiction
under Chapter 15 to handle the suits which sought return of
redemptions under common law.

Judge Lifland ruled that the suits are within the bankruptcy
court's so-called core jurisdiction.  In that respect, Judge
Lifland based his decision on Section 157(b)(2)(vi) of the U.S.
Judiciary Code which says that core proceedings include
"recognition of foreign proceedings and other matters under
Chapter 15," Mr. Rochelle relates.

                      About Fairfield Sentry

Fairfield Sentry is being liquidated under the supervision of the
Commercial Division of the High Court of Justice in the British
Virgin Islands.  It is one of the funds owned by the Fairfield
Greenwich Group, an investment firm founded in 1983 in New York
City.  Fairfield Sentry and other Greenwich funds had among the
largest exposures to the Bernard L. Madoff fraud.

Fairfield Sentry Limited filed for Chapter 15 protection (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-13164) on June 14, 2010.

Greenwich Sentry, L.P., and an affiliate filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16229) on Nov. 19, 2010,
hoping to settle lawsuits filed against it in connection with its
investments with Bernard L. Madoff.

On May 18, 2009, Irving H. Picard, the trustee liquidating the
estate of Mr. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities, LLC, filed a lawsuit against Fairfield Sentry and
Greenwich, seeking the return of US$3.55 billion that Fairfield
withdrew from Madoff during the period from 2002 to Madoff's
arrest in December 2008.  Since 1995, the Fairfield funds invested
about US$4.5 billion with BLMIS.

Mr. Picard claims that Fairfield knew or should have known about
the fraud give that it received from BLMIS unrealistically high
and consistent annual returns of between 10% and 21% in contrast
to the vastly larger fluctuations in the S&P 100 Index.


BORDERS GROUP: Talking With Gores Group Over Sale of Stores
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector and Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg
report that people familiar with the matter said private-equity
firm Gores Group is in discussions to purchase more than 200 of
Borders' 405 remaining stores in a deal that could fetch roughly
$200 million or so.  The sources said the deal would keep Borders
operating as a going concern.

The Journal says the sources cautioned the talks remain fluid and
could fall apart.  Spokespeople for Borders and Gores declined to
comment.

According to the Journal, the sources also said Borders remain in
discussions with other suitors.  One of the sources said interest
in Borders has picked up since Liberty Media Corp.'s recent bid
for Barnes & Noble, which valued that chain at roughly $1 billion.

The Journal notes Alec Gores, who runs the firm, is worth more
than $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.  Gores Group in February
disclosed it raised $2 billion for a new fund earmarked for buying
companies in variety of sectors, including telecommunications and
healthcare.

The Journal recounts that Borders said in recent court filings
that its sales process is "at its most sensitive stage" and has
asked a bankruptcy judge to give it more time to maintain
exclusive control over developing a reorganization plan during
bankruptcy proceedings.

Publishers and other creditors have asked for permission to
propose their own reorganization plan, through an official
creditors committee. The creditors committee recently noted in
court papers that Borders has so far failed to file a
reorganization plan and propose a solid buyout offer for the
chain.  A bankruptcy-court hearing on Borders's request for more
time is set for Thursday.

---------------------------------------------------------
Bowe Bell + Howell on June 2 disclosed that it has received court
approval for the sale of the business to the private equity funds
of Versa Capital Management, Inc. through an asset transaction.
With a closing of the transaction expected in approximately 14
days, this will successfully conclude the involvement of BBH's
businesses in the chapter 11 process.

"We are very pleased to have moved through the sale process so
quickly and to establish our new company with Versa," said George
Marton, BBH chief executive officer.  "We can now look to the
future with great enthusiasm as we enter a new phase in our
company's evolution and return to long-term stability.  We look
forward to partnering with our new owners to introduce new
products and services that address our customers' global messaging
needs.  I wish to thank our customers, suppliers and employees who

Gregory L. Segall, CEO of Versa and incoming Chairman of the new

for our portfolio, and we see tremendous unrealized value in the
BBH business.   It's an important name in the document and mailing
industry with an excellent and dedicated staff of professionals.
We're enthusiastically supportive of management's plans for the
emergence from reorganization and continuation of the business and
look forward to its return to consistent growth and profitability
in the coming years as management completes the implementation of

                           *     *     *

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the unsecured creditors' committee for Bowe Bell +
Howell Co. agreed to withdraw its opposition to the sale of the
Debtor's business after the prospective buyer, Versa Capital
Management Inc., pledged to provide more value for unsecured
creditors.  The hearing for approval of the sale was scheduled for
June 2.  Had there been a competing bid, an auction would have
been held last week.

Mr. Rochelle relates that Versa agreed not to sue creditors for
such things as preferences, meaning payments made within 90 days
of bankruptcy.  In addition, creditors will be able to sue
directors and officers, other than those who will continue working
for the business.  Versa will waive its deficiency claim until
unsecured creditors have realized a 20% recovery from the
lawsuits.  Versa will also insure that creditors will be paid in
full for good supplied within 20 days of the Chapter 11 filing.
Any state or federal income tax refunds will go to unsecured
creditors, and Versa will contribute an additional $700,000 to the
pot for creditors and expenses of the Chapter 11 case.

Versa, having purchased the $121 million secured term loan and
revolving credit, signed a contract to buy the business in
exchange for secured debt, the loan financing the Chapter 11 case,
the cost of curing contract defaults, and $315,000 for the
Canadian assets. Versa is buying the business along with Access
Value Investors Inc., according to a company statement.

CALPINE CORP: To Release Final Shares Under 2008 Reorg. Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Calpine Corporation, which emerged from bankruptcy in January
2008, disclosed the settlement of the only significant claim
remaining from the bankruptcy proceeding.  The settlement with
holders of certain Class 12 claims is subject to Bankruptcy Court
approval, which is expected to be obtained in the next several
weeks.

The settlement will be funded by the sale of a portion of the
shares of Calpine stock held in reserve by the Company to satisfy
bankruptcy claims that had not been satisfied as of emergence.
The balance of the reserve shares, if any, after all claims are
settled will be distributed to unsecured creditors.  The
approximately 44 million shares currently held in the reserve were
included in the Company's 486 million weighted average shares
outstanding as of March 31, 2011, and sale or distribution of
these shares does not represent the issuance of new or additional
shares.  The settlement will have no impact on the Company's
earnings or cash flow.

"Today's settlement marks a significant milestone in our effort to
conclude the Company's bankruptcy case," said Zamir Rauf,
Calpine's Chief Financial Officer.  "Upon approval of this
settlement and the associated sale of shares, our goal will be to
resolve the few remaining outstanding claims and distribute the
remaining reserve shares to the unsecured creditors, officially
closing this chapter in the Company's history."

                    Shares to Be Released

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, notes
the settlement will allow Calpine to sell some of the shares held
in reserve to fund payments to creditors whose claims weren't
resolved during the course of the 25-month reorganization.
The remainder of the shares will be distributed to creditors.

Mr. Rochelle relates that on the first day of trading in February
2008, Calpine's new stock closed at $16.60.  On June 1, the shares
fell 29 cents to $15.50 in New York Stock Exchange trading. Since
emergence from bankruptcy, the high was $23 on May 22, 2008. The
low was $4.78 on March 9, 2009.

                      Terms of the Deal

Marie Beaudette, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reports that Calpine Generating Co. unit's former third-priority
noteholders will get $110 million to settle their claims that the
unit's $2.6 billion refinancing in 2007 deprived them of future
interest payments on $830 million in notes.

According to court papers, the third-lien noteholders had asserted
more than $300 million in claims against Calpine.

Calpine had set aside 44 million of its shares to pay the holders
third-lien notes if they were successful in a legal challenge of
the 2007 refinancing.  An appeal of a bankruptcy-court ruling
approving the deal was pending in the Second U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals.

DBR reports the salient terms of the deal:

     -- Calpine will grant the trustee for the third-priority
noteholders, Manufacturers & Traders Trust Co., a $110 million
unsecured claim, which the trustee has agreed to sell to a group
including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Whitebox Multi Strategy
Partners, UBS AG UBS, Farallon Capital Partners, Noonday Offshore
Inc. and Long Ball Partners LLC.  The buyers, in turn, will
receive Calpine shares to satisfy the claim.

     -- The balance of the 44 million shares that were held in
reserve pending the outcome of the dispute will be distributed to
Calpine's unsecured creditors. Calpine's shares were recently
trading at around $15.24.

Calpine had already settled similar disputes stemming from the
refinancing with the holders of first- and second-lien CalGen
notes.

The Court will convene a hearing to consider the proposed
settlement on June 16.

                           About Calpine

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Calpine Corp. is a major U.S.
independent power company that owns 93 operating power plants with
an aggregate generation capacity of nearly 29,000.  For the 12
months ending June 30, 2010, Calpine had operating revenues of

The Company and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on

Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement.  Calpine filed a Second
Amended Plan on Sept. 19, 2007 and on Sept. 24, 2007, filed a
Third Amended Plan.  On September 25, 2007, the Court approved the
adequacy of the Debtors' Disclosure Statement and entered a
written order on September 26.  On Dec. 19, 2007, the Court
confirmed the Debtors' Plan.  The Amended Plan was deemed
effective as of Jan. 31, 2008.


CARTER'S GROVE: Court Has Tentative Ruling on Venue Transfer
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Thomas E. Carlson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California entered a tentative ruling on
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's request to transfer the
Chapter 11 case of Carter's Grove LLC to the Eastern District of
Virginia.

The Court ruled that the venue transfer would depend on what
activities will be important to the administration of the case.
If the Debtor objects to Colonial Williamsburg's claim on the
basis of alleged misrepresentation re the property, or if Debtor
seeks to challenge conservation easements against the property,
those matters must be heard in Virginia and venue must be
transferred.  If Debtor's principal merely seeks time to pay the
Debtor's obligations in full, administration can be handled
effectively in the present venue.

The Court is also inclined to set a prompt deadline for filing
objections to claims, and to continue the matter to see what claim
objections are filed.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 2, 2011,
Colonial Williamsburg asked that the Court transfer the venue for
the convenience of the parties and in the interest of justice.

Colonial Williamsburg is a mortgage lender of the Debtor.

According to Colonial Williamsburg, the Debtor is a Virginia
entity, and its sole asset, most of its creditors and the likely
witnesses are all located in Virginia.  Colonial Williamsburg
added that the Debtor's unsecured creditors will be deprived, as a
practical matter, of the opportunity to participate in the case if
venue is retained in California.

                        About Carter's Grove

San Francisco, California-based Carter's Grove, LLC, owns the
historic Williamsburg, Virginia -area mansion named Carter's
Grove.  Halsey M. Minor owns the Company and bought the Carter's
Grove mansion for $15.3 million in 2007, at the height of the real

Carter's Grove filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
N.D. Calif. Case No. 11-30554) on Feb. 14, 2011.  Debra I.
Grassgreen, Esq., at Pachulski, Stang, Ziehl, And Jones LLP,
serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.  In its schedules, the
Debtor disclosed $21,156,417 in assets and $12,490,476 in
liabilities.


CB HOLDING: Sells Store Without Official Auction
------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Chapter 11 liquidation of the operator of Charlie
Brown's Steakhouse shows that an auction doesn't require official
sanction by the bankruptcy court, at least in Delaware.  Charlie
Brown's closed a Bugaboo Creek restaurant in Newnan, Georgia, in
November and sought a purchaser.  When 20 potential buyers showed
interest, an informal auction was arranged where Triangle Capital
LLC made the high bid of $927,500.  The price was 20% more than
anticipated.  The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware authorized the
sale this week, even though auction procedures weren't officially
court approved.  The agents who marketed the property had been
approved by the court.

Mr. Rochelle relates that changes to bankruptcy law in 1978 allow
auctions of a bankrupt's property without court approval in
advance.  The procedure is seldom utilized, ordinarily because
buyers insist on court approval at every step of the sale process.

CENTURYLINK INC: S&P Keeps CCR at 'BB'; Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BBB-' issue-level
rating and '1' recovery rating to Qwest Corp.'s proposed senior
notes (of an indeterminate amount) due 2051. The '1' recovery
rating indicates expectations for very high (90% to 100%) recovery
in the event of payment default. The company intends to use net
proceeds from the notes, coupled with cash on hand and revolver
borrowings from parent company CenturyLink Inc., to redeem the
$825 million of Qwest Corp. notes due 2011. Monroe, La.-based
CenturyLink is an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC).

The long-term corporate credit rating on CenturyLink is 'BB' and
the rating outlook is stable. "The rating continues to reflect
significant competition in its core consumer wireline phone
business from cable telephony and wireless substitution; our
expectation for continued revenue declines because of ongoing
access-line losses, which were about 9.3% year over year as of
March 31, 2011 on a pro forma basis; integration risk; and an
aggressive shareholder-oriented financial policy with a
substantial dividend payout, which limits debt reduction," S&P
stated.

Tempering factors include a favorable market position as the
third-largest ILEC in the U.S., solid operating margins and free
cash flow generation, modest growth in high-speed data (HSD)
services, which helps mitigate revenue declines from access-line
losses, and geographic diversity. "We consider the financial risk
profile significant, with pro forma adjusted leverage of about
3.1x as of March 2011 quarter. Our leverage calculation includes
the pending acquisition of Savvis Inc. and other adjustments,
including the present value of operating leases and unfunded
postretirement obligations," S&P added.

CINEMARK HOLDINGS: S&P Raises CCR to 'BB-'; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Plano, Texas-based Cinemark Holdings Inc. and its
operating subsidiary, Cinemark USA Inc., to 'BB-' from 'B+'. The
rating outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we assigned a 'B' issue-level rating to the
company's proposed $200 million senior subordinated notes due
2021, with a recovery rating of '6', indicating our expectation of
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default. Cinemark intends to use the proceeds from the
note issuance to repay the portion of its term loan maturing
in 2013," S&P stated.

S&P noted, "We also raised our issue-level rating on the company's
senior secured debt to 'BB' from 'BB-'. The recovery rating on
this debt remains at '2', indicating our expectation of
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default. We also raised our issue-level rating on
Cinemark's 8.625% senior unsecured notes to 'B' from 'B-'. The
recovery rating remains at '6', indicating our expectation of
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a
payment default."

"The ratings on Cinemark reflect our expectation that leverage and
capital spending will remain relatively high, but that the company
will continue to be among the more profitable theater chains,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith. "Although
we expect Cinemark will continue to outperform its U.S. peers and
maintain industry-leading EBITDA margins, it operates in the movie
exhibition industry, which we consider mature and dependant on box
office performance. We believe these dynamics will result in
the company achieving low-single-digit revenue growth, on average,
over the long-term."

The rating outlook is stable. Standard & Poor's could lower the
rating if operating performance weakens, causing discretionary
cash flow to turn negative or if S&P become convinced that
leverage will exceed 5.5x on a sustained basis. This would likely
entail revenue and EBITDA declines of 5% and 10% caused by mid- to
high-single-digit percent declines in attendance. "Although less
likely, we could raise the rating if box office trends improve and
the company directs excess cash to debt repayment, causing
credit metrics and discretionary cash flow to improve," S&P added.


CINEMARK USA: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating to Subordinated Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to the proposed
$200 million senior subordinated notes of Cinemark USA, Inc.
(Cinemark) and affirmed its B1 corporate family and probability of
default ratings and SGL-1 speculative grade liquidity rating.
Cinemark intends to use proceeds primarily to repay approximately
$160 million of outstanding secured term loan that matures in
October 2013. The transaction modestly increases leverage to 5.3
times debt-to-EBITDA from 5.2 times but favorably extends the
maturity profile.

Moody's also upgraded Cinemark's secured bank debt to Ba2 from Ba3
and its senior bonds to B2 from B3 reflecting the increase in
capital junior to bank lenders and bondholders. Furthermore, bank
debt now comprises a smaller portion of the overall capital
structure, thus supporting potentially higher recovery, and senior
unsecured bondholders benefit from a reduced amount of secured
debt ranking senior to them.

The outlook remains stable.

Cinemark USA, Inc.

   -- Assigned B3, LGD6, 93% to Senior Subordinated Bonds

   -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Upgraded to Ba2, LGD2,
      25% from Ba3, LGD3, 31%

   -- 8.625% Senior Unsecured Bonds due June 2019, Upgraded to B2,
      LGD5, 75% from B3, LGD5, 85%

   -- Affirmed B1 Corporate Family Rating

   -- Affirmed B1 Probability of Default Rating

   -- Affirmed SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating

Outlook, Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

Cinemark's B1 corporate family rating incorporates its high
leverage (approximately 5.3 times debt-to-EBITDA), which poses
challenge for operating in an inherently volatile industry reliant
on movie studios for product to drive the attendance that leads to
cash flow from admissions and concessions. Very good liquidity,
including a sizeable cash balance (estimated at approximately $500
million pro forma for the transaction), enables the company to
better manage attendance related volatility and indicates the
ability to improve the credit profile, though the company has to
date demonstrated limited desire to do so. Cinemark also benefits
from scale and geographic diversity, as well as good growth
prospects for its international business.

Moody's considers the theater exhibition a mature industry with
low-to-negative growth potential, high fixed costs and increasing
competition from alternative media, and Moody's anticipates low to
negative attendance growth over the long term, with year to year
volatility driven by the popularity of the product. However, the
industry remains viable and stable throughout economic cycles, in
Moody's opinion. Cinemark differentiates itself from rated peers
with its industry leading margins and the better growth prospects
in its international operations.

The stable outlook incorporates expectations that Cinemark will
continue to generate positive free cash flow and sustain leverage
below 6 times debt-to-EBITDA.

An upgrade would require evidence of commitment to improving the
credit profile such that Moody's anticipates leverage sustained
below 5 times and free cash to debt in excess of 5%.

Sustained negative free cash flow or leverage above 6 times debt-
to-EBITDA, whether due to worsening fundamentals, debt funded
acquisitions, or shareholder returns could pressure the rating
down. Deterioration of the liquidity profile could also have
negative ratings implications.

Cinemark'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 Cinemark's core industry and
believes Cinemark's ratings are comparable to those of other
issuers with similar credit risk.

Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., which owns
Cinemark USA, Inc. (Cinemark), operates 431 theatres with 4,941
screens in 39 U.S. states, Brazil, Mexico and 11 other Latin
American countries. Its annual revenue is approximately $2.1
billion.


CIRCLE ENTERTAINMENT: Court Dismisses Huff Derivative Action
------------------------------------------------------------
On April 29, 2010, Circle Entertainment Inc. was notified of
having been named as a nominal defendant in a derivative lawsuit
filed on April 28, 2010, by stockholders The Huff Alternative
Fund, L.P., and The Huff Alternative Parallel Fund, L.P., on
behalf of the Company in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan,
New York (Index No. 650338-10) against the Company's directors
Harvey Silverman, Michael J. Meyer, John D. Miller, Robert Sudack,
Paul C. Kanavos and Robert F.X. Sillerman, and Brett Torino, a
stockholder and former officer of the Company.

In its lawsuit, Huff alleges that such director defendants and
stockholder defendant, as a former officer of the Company,
breached their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the
Company, its creditors and its non defendant stockholders by,
among other things:

   (i) committing or permitting acts of misconduct such as self-
       dealing and disloyalty, without justifiable excuse;

  (ii) having the Company cause its former Las Vegas subsidiary to
       enter into the lock-up and plan support agreement dated
       Oct. 30, 2009, to transfer the Las Vegas subsidiary's Las
       Vegas property to entities controlled by Messrs. Sillerman,
       Kanavos and Torino; and

(iii) usurping various corporate opportunities with respect to
       the Las Vegas property for which Huff is seeking on behalf
       of the Company damages of not less not $100 million, plus
       punitive damages.

In addition, Huff alleges substantially the same claims against
defendants Messrs. Kanavos and Torino for which Huff is seeking on
behalf of the Company damages of not less than $50 million, plus
punitive damages.

The Company was formally served with the lawsuit on May 5, 2010,
and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on July 16, 2010.  Huff
filed an answer to the motion to dismiss on Sept. 3, 2010, and
reply papers were filed on Oct. 4, 2010.  The Court head oral
arguments with respect to the motions on Nov. 16, 2010.

On May 24, 2011, the Court ruled on the Company's pending motion
to dismiss the lawsuit.  In its ruling, the Court dismissed the
derivative action against the Company's directors on the basis
that Huff failed to plead specific facts to show that the
directors' decision to support the Lock Up Agreement was not
protected by the business judgment rule.  The Court has granted
Huff leave to serve and file an amended complaint with specific
facts as to the derivative action within 30 days after service of
the Court's ruling on Huff's counsel.

With regard to the action against Messrs. Torino and Kanavos
individually relating to alleged usurpation of corporate
opportunity based on their purchase of retail property across
Harmon Boulevard from the Las Vegas property, the Court ruled as
follows:

   (a) With respect to Mr. Torino, the action was dismissed with
       prejudice since he was neither an officer nor director of
       the Company at the time of the corporate opportunity;

   (b) With respect to Mr. Kanavos, the action was not dismissed
       based on procedural grounds.

The Court did not make any determination as to the underlying
facts of the action.  Rather, in accordance with applicable
procedure, the Court reviewed Huff's pleadings and viewed all
related inferences in favor of Huff.  Therefore, the Court
concluded that: (i) it may have been possible for the Company to
have the financial ability to pursue the opportunity, (ii) the
development of the new retail property may have been sufficiently
close to the Company's business, (iii) the Company may have had an
expectancy in the opportunity, and (iv) the opportunity may have
come to Mr. Kanavos in his capacity as an officer of the Company
rather than in his individual capacity.  Huff has 30 days to serve
and file a notice to appeal this portion of the ruling.

                     About Circle Entertainment

Circle Entertainment Inc. (CEXE.PK), formerly FX Real Estate and
Entertainment Inc., owns 17.72 contiguous acres of land located at
the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue in
Las Vegas, Nevada.  The Las Vegas Property is currently occupied
by a motel and several commercial and retail tenants with a mix of
short and long-term leases.  On June 23, 2009, as a result of the
default under the first mortgage loan, the first lien lenders had
a receiver appointed to take control of the property.  The Company
is headquartered in New York City.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed
$1.97 million in total assets, $4.38 million in total liabilities,
and a $2.41 million total stockholders' deficit.

The Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010, that it has no current cash flow and cash on hand
as of Aug. 13, 2010, is not sufficient to fund its short-term
liquidity requirements, including its ordinary course obligations
as they come due.  On April 21, 2010, the Company's remaining Las
Vegas subsidiary, namely FX Luxury Las Vegas I, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada
(Case No. 10-17015).

The Company's Las Vegas subsidiary filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
on April 21, 2010, and a plan of liquidation or reorganization
will eventually be implemented under which the Company will
surrender ownership of the Las Vegas Property.  Under such a plan,
it is extremely unlikely the Company will receive any material
interest or benefit.

The Company reported net income of $346.81 million on $0 of
revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss
of $114.68 million on $0 of revenue during the prior year.  The
net profit generated in the year was primarily on account of a
$390.75 million gain from discharge of net assets due to
bankruptcy plan.  The Company's operating subsidiary sought
Chapter 11 protection last year.

As reported by the TCR on April 11, 2011, L.L. Bradford & Company,
LLC, in Las Vegas, Nevada, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has limited available cash, has a
working capital deficiency and will need to secure new financing
or additional capital in order to pay its obligations.

markets, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas,
Philadelphia, Houston, Miami, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed
$10.28 billion in total assets, $5.23 billion in total
liabilities, and $5.05 billion in total stockholders' equity.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.30 billion on
$556.82 million of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $1.25 billion on $274.46 million of
revenue during the prior year.

The Company disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2010, that its expected continued losses from operations
and the uncertainty about its ability to obtain sufficient
additional capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

"Without additional financing sources, we forecast that our cash
and short-term investments would be depleted as early as the
middle of 2011.  Thus, we will be required to raise additional
capital in the near-term in order to continue operations.

The audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Seattle,
Washington, on the Company's financial statements for 2009 and
2010 did not include a going concern qualification.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 11, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating, and all other ratings, on Clearwire Corp. to 'CCC' from
'B-'.  At the same time, S&P revised the CreditWatch listing on
the company from negative to developing.  S&P had initially placed
the ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications on Oct. 6,
2010, based on S&P's view that Clearwire faced significant near-
term liquidity risks.

The downgrade follows the Company's disclosure -- in its Form 10-Q
for quarter ended Sept. 30, 2010 -- regarding the uncertainty
about its ability to obtain additional capital and continue as a
going concern.  In Clearwire's 2010 third-quarter earnings report
and conference call, the company indicated that it expected to run
out cash by mid-2011, which is consistent with S&P's earlier
comments.  Cash totaled around $1.4 billion as of Sept. 30, 2010.


CLUB VENTURES: Seeks Sept. 28 Plan Filing Exclusivity Extension
---------------------------------------------------------------
Club Ventures LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to extend the exclusive period to file a
plan of reorganization to Sept. 28, 2011, and acceptance of a
plan of reorganization to Nov. 28, 2011.

The Debtors are workings with the Creditors' Committee and their
financial advisors to achieve agreement on a consensual treatment
of general unsecured creditors.  The Creditors' Committee is
currently performing due diligence to confirm the Debtors'
financial condition.  Until the Creditors' Committee completes
its reasonable due diligence and meaningful negotiations occur,
the Debtors believe it would be premature to file a plan.  The
Debtors are optimistic that such negotiations will occur within
the next several weeks.

CLUB VENTURES: Seeks Sept. 28 Lease Extension Decision Deadline
---------------------------------------------------------------
Club Ventures LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to extend the period in which the Debtors may
assume or reject unexpired leases of non-residential real property
to and including Sept. 28, 2011.

David B. Shemano, Esq., at Peitzman, Weg & Kempinsky LLP, in Los
Angeles, states that he Debtors are tenants under six real
property leases for their fitness clubs, and one real property
lease for their corporate office.

Mr. Shemano relates that a critical element of the Debtors;
reorganization efforts is a thorough analysis of each of the
leases to determine whether continued operations at the applicable
fitness center is economically feasible.  The Debtors have
concluded that, with respect to many of the leases, the applicable
fitness center is not viable going forward unless the applicable
lease is substantially modified.

Mr. Shemano informs the Court that the Debtors have utilized these
Chapter 11 cases to engage in good faith negotiations with
landlords concerning modification of the leases to avoid the need
to reject the leases and close fitness centers.  An extension will
not prejudice the Debtors' landlords because the Debtors are
substantially current on their postpetition obligations under the
leases.

CONSTAR INTERNATIONAL: Emerges From Chapter 11 Restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------
Constar International LLC and its affiliated entities completed
their financial restructuring and successfully emerged from
Chapter 11 on May 31, 2011.  The Company is now named Constar

condition with our X4(TM) and VCT(R) panel-less hot fill container
geometries and DiamondClearr oxygen-scavenging technology, we are
better positioned than ever to provide our customers with the
product quality, innovation, and service they have come to expect
from Constar."

ownership.

Les Meier, Principal at Black Diamond, and Mark Lawrence, Managing
Director at Solus, stated jointly, "Constar's new private
ownership base is committed to growing the Company in partnership

CONTAINERSHIP CO: Files Chapter 15 in New York
-----------------------------------------------
Containership Co., a company formed in 2009 to operate container
ships between China and Los Angeles, filed for Chapter 15
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-12622) on May 31 in
Manhattan.

The Chapter 15 petition was signed by Jorgen Hauschildt, as court
appointed receiver or reconstructor in the bankruptcy proceeding
before the Copenhagen Maritime & Commercial Court, Bankruptcy
Division, Denmark.

The Company, which has its corporate headquarters in Norway and
operational head office in Denmark, owns one and charters five
container vessels.  The Debtor is estimated to have $1 million to
$10 million in assets and up to $50 million in liabilities in the
Chapter 15 petition.

The Company filed under Chapter 15 in the U.S. so that the U.S.
bankruptcy judge can prevent creditors from seizing the vessels
when they come to the U.S.  The petitioner wants the U.S. Court to
recognize the Danish bankruptcy proceeding as the "foreign main
proceeding."

Containership was founded with $25 million from a private
placement.  It first sailed in April 2010 and ran up a
$7.4 million loss last year before taxes on revenue of
$83.8 million.

Mr. Hauschildt relates that in recent months the Company's profit
margin began to decline as its experienced a decrease in budgeted
freight rates and increasing competition from Transpacific
container liner operators, resulting in emptier sailings.  The
Company was also adversely affected by increased fuel prices.
"Unless there is a significant turnaround in the global economy,
the financial condition of the Company will continue to
deteriorate," he said.

CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL: Plan Financed by Sale-Leaseback
--------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Crystal Cathedral Ministries' proposed reorganization
plan will be funded by selling the church property for $46 million
to Greenlaw Partners LLC under an arrangement where the church
will lease the property back with the right to repurchase.

According to the report, there is currently a letter of intent
with Greenlaw, which will have the right to conduct a financial
investigation before becoming legally bound to complete the
purchase.  Following the sale to Greenlaw, the Cathedral will
lease the main property back for $212,000 a month.  It will
have a right for four years to repurchase the main buildings for
$30 million.  Afterwards, the church will have a right of first
refusal.

The Debtor will conduct an auction testing if there is a better
offer than Greenlaw's.

Aside from the $46 million from Greenlaw, a condominium will be
sold for about $1 million.  Together with $3 million cash on hand,
the church will have about $50 million for distribution to
creditors.  Secured creditors are to be paid from sale proceeds
and can't foreclose while the sale process is under way.
Unsecured creditors are to be paid in full over an estimated two
years at the rate of $100,000 a month.

According to the Plan, the affairs of the reorganized church will
be managed by a board of seven, one being founder Robert H.
Schuller.  Creditors will have two representatives on the board.
Insiders can have no more than three board positions.

Part of the existing church property is to be developed for
multifamily housing.

DAIRY PRODUCTION: Committee Objects to Morgan Joseph Hiring Fees
----------------------------------------------------------------
The official committee of unsecured creditors of Dairy Productions
Systems - Georgia LLC, et al., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court an objection to the Court order approving the retention of
Morgan Joseph Triartisan LLC as the Debtors' financial advisor and
investment banker.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 21, 2011,
the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors permission to employ
Morgan Joseph TriArtisan LLC as their financial advisor and
investment banker, nunc pro tunc to March 24, 2011.

Morgan Joseph will provide financial advisory services relating to
a restructuring transaction, a financial transaction, or sale
transaction.

The Committee says the retention order authorizes the Debtors to
retain Morgan Joseph at a monthly fee of $50,000.00 per month for
a minimum of four months or $200,000.00, a portion of which shall
be credited against the Restructuring Transaction Fee.  Further,
upon the occurrence of any in court or out-of-court restructuring
(other than the DPS Financing), Morgan Joseph is to receive
$1,000,000.00 in transaction fees and up to 6% of all committed
financing, capped at $1,250,000.00 including monthly fees.

The Committee asserts, "the fees and compensation under the Morgan
Joseph Application are unreasonable and excessive given the facts
and circumstances of this case.  The guaranteed fee of at least
$200,000.00 and $1,000,000.00 in transaction fees and up to 6% of
all committed financing is excessive given the facts and
circumstances of this case and the risk is completely borne by the
Debtors' creditors.   The terms of the engagement would require
the Debtors to pay Morgan Joseph for any occurrence of any in
court or out-of-court restructuring even if Morgan Joseph is not
the enabling party."

DUANE TILLIMON: Obtains Bankruptcy Court Discharge
--------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court, acting on its own motion, held that, given
the procedural posture of Duane J. Tillimon's bankruptcy case, the
requirement set forth in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 111, regarding the
Debtor's completion of a course on personal financial management,
should be waived and that a discharge should be entered.   A copy
of Bankruptcy Judge Richard L. Speer's May 10, 2011 Decision and
Order is available at http://is.gd/CWdYPnfrom Leagle.com.

Duane J. Tillimon filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Ohio
Case No. 07-35365) on Dec. 10, 2007.  In filing his bankruptcy
case, the Debtor submitted a certificate, showing that, as
required by 11 U.S.C. Secs. 109(h) and 521(b), he had completed
the requisite credit counseling course.  The Debtor, however, has
yet to complete the financial management course as required by
Sec. 111.  At the time he filed his petition for relief, the
Debtor had a fee interest in various real property and maintained
a fee interest in his residence, 5105 Tillimon Trail, Toledo,
Ohio.  Against all these properties, liens are held by various
third parties.  On April 25, 2008, the Court, at the behest of the
United States Trustee, entered an order converting the case to a
proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  John N. Graham
was appointed trustee of the Debtor's bankruptcy estate.


E-DEBIT GLOBAL: BCSC Revokes Cease Trade Order
----------------------------------------------
E-Debit Global Corporation announced British Columbia Securities
Commission revocation of its Cease Trade Order issued on Dec. 23,
2010 against E-Debit Global Corporation.

"Further to our previously issued release of January 5, 2011
regarding the captionally noted we have worked very diligently and
in a pragmatic manner to resolve issues related to the British
Columbia Securities Commission issued Cease Trade Order.  While we
recorded our view of the issuance of Order the Company made
application to become a "Reporting Issuer" with the BCSC which has
been accepted.  In the recent past the BCSC has been very
accommodating in our efforts to gain its "Reporting Issuer" status
and the Company's filings can now be found both with the SEC and
on Sedar.  Shortly you will be able to access both filings from
our web-site." stated Doug Mac Donald, E-Debit's President and
CEO.

"During the past several years the Company's status of being an
Issuer Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Market has resulted in
our Shareholders meeting significant hurdles in gaining access to
the markets in their effort to trade their shares.  While we view
our current status as a "Reporting Issuer" being a positive step
towards assisting our Shareholders access to the marketplace the
management and Board of Directors will move forward and continue
its review of the costs and benefits of being dually listed with a
Canadian Exchange.

The Company had initiated such a review in the fall of 2010 which
was interrupted during the period the BCSC Order was in place but
we believe it is a matter that should be seriously considered due
to the recent changes to the public marketplace and the
consolidations of the exchanges both in Canada and the United
States.  It is the highest of priorities that our Shareholders
have easier access to the marketplace.

As a result of the revocation of the Cease Trade Order the Company
has forwarded correspondence to the BCSC withdrawing our
application for a review and hearing."  Mr. Mac Donald advised.

EATON MOERY: Can Obtain $266,000 from First National to Pay Lease
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. James G. Mixon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Arkansas authorized Eaton Moery Environmental
Services, Inc., to substitute First National Bank of Wynne for
Paragon Financial, and borrow funds totaling $266,000.

The Debtor related that before the financing closed, lender
Paragon withdrew its willingness to factor due to the size, volume
and age of the accounts receivable generated by the Debtor.
Accordingly, the $400,000 to be received by the Debtor, in
exchange for granting Paragon a superpriority lien on accounts
receivable, will not be forthcoming.

In response to Paragon's withdrawal, board members/shareholders,
Byron Moery and Glen Eaton sought alternative means of financing.
FNB agreed to loan the Debtor funds of up to $266,000, on the same
basic terms as the agreement with Paragon.

The Debtor added that the terms of the lending are more favorable
to the Debtor because the FNB loan will be collateralized by
Certificates of deposit valued at $266,000, personally owned by
Messrs. Moery and Eaton.

The loan will be used to pay delinquent lease payments to Rantoul
Leasing, and to acquire Shelby county real estate.

The objection of Delta Environmental Investments, LLC, is also
overruled.

The Company has two other oncology drug candidates currently in
clinical development that were discovered using in-house
technology and have been shown to act as vascular disruption
agents in a variety of solid tumors.  The Company's pain portfolio
includes EpiCept(TM) NP-1, a prescription topical analgesic cream
in late-stage clinical development designed to provide effective
long-term relief of pain associated with peripheral neuropathies.

The Company reported a net loss of $15.54 million on $994,000 of
revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss
of $38.81 million on $414,000 of revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed
$12.35 million in total assets, $18.37 million in total
liabilities, and a $6.02 million total stockholders' deficit.

The Company's recurring losses from operations and the Company's
stockholders' deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern and, as a result, the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche
LLP, in Parsippany, New Jersey, included an explanatory paragraph
in its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, which was included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K, with respect to this uncertainty.


FAIRFIELD SENTRY: BVI Liquidators May File Suits in Bankr. Court
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the bankruptcy judge in New York ruled that
liquidators from the British Virgin Islands for Fairfield Sentry
funds have the right to bring lawsuits in bankruptcy court under
the umbrella of the funds' Chapter 15 cases.  Fairfield Sentry
Ltd. and affiliates were the largest of the so-called feeder funds
that invested in the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities Inc.

Mr. Rochelle recalls that in July, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R.
Lifland gave the liquidators permanent protection in the U.S.
under Chapter 15 when he found that the liquidations in the
British Virgin Islands were the so-called foreign main
proceedings, Mr. Rochelle says

Before and after Chapter 15 relief was granted, Mr. Rochelle
notes, the liquidators filed 209 lawsuits in the U.S. to recover
almost $5.8 billion, including $690 million in so-called
fictitious profits.  The liquidators had the lawsuits transferred
to bankruptcy court in Manhattan.

Mr. Rochelle discloses that defendants in 42 of the lawsuits filed
papers telling Judge Lifland the cases should be returned to state
courts.  They contended that the bankruptcy court doesn't have
jurisdiction to hear the suits.  The defendants lost when Judge
Lifland ruled on May 23 that the bankruptcy court has jurisdiction
under Chapter 15 to handle the suits which sought return of
redemptions under common law.

Judge Lifland ruled that the suits are within the bankruptcy
court's so-called core jurisdiction.  In that respect, Judge
Lifland based his decision on Section 157(b)(2)(vi) of the U.S.
Judiciary Code which says that core proceedings include
"recognition of foreign proceedings and other matters under
Chapter 15," Mr. Rochelle relates.

                   About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping $50 billion.  On Dec. 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 Feb. 18, 2011, a total of $6.85 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with $791.1 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.

                      About Fairfield Sentry

Fairfield Sentry is being liquidated under the supervision of the
Commercial Division of the High Court of Justice in the British
Virgin Islands.  It is one of the funds owned by the Fairfield
Greenwich Group, an investment firm founded in 1983 in New York
City.  Fairfield Sentry and other Greenwich funds had among the
largest exposures to the Bernard L. Madoff fraud.

Fairfield Sentry Limited filed for Chapter 15 protection (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-13164) on June 14, 2010.

Greenwich Sentry, L.P., and an affiliate filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16229) on Nov. 19, 2010,
hoping to settle lawsuits filed against it in connection with its
investments with Bernard L. Madoff.

On May 18, 2009, Irving H. Picard, the trustee liquidating the
estate of Mr. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities, LLC, filed a lawsuit against Fairfield Sentry and
Greenwich, seeking the return of US$3.55 billion that Fairfield
withdrew from Madoff during the period from 2002 to Madoff's
arrest in December 2008.  Since 1995, the Fairfield funds invested
about US$4.5 billion with BLMIS.

Mr. Picard claims that Fairfield knew or should have known about
the fraud give that it received from BLMIS unrealistically high
and consistent annual returns of between 10% and 21% in contrast
to the vastly larger fluctuations in the S&P 100 Index.


FIDELITY & GUARANTY: S&P Affirms BB- Counterparty Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Fidelity
& Guaranty Life Insurance Co. (FGLIC), formerly known as OM
Financial Life Insurance Co., to positive from negative. "At the
same time, we affirmed our unsolicited 'BB-' counterparty credit,
financial strength, and financial enhancement ratings on FGLIC,"
S&P said.

"The outlook revision reflects FGLIC's improved operating
performance and decreased risk in the investment portfolio," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jeremy Rosenbaum. "In 2010, FGLIC
had adjusted statutory net income of $168 million, which includes
$295 million of operating earnings, $49 million of net realized
capital losses, and $78 million of unrealized capital losses."

The $78 million is largely a result of unrealized losses on
derivatives backing the equity-indexed annuities. In comparison,
the company reported a $146 million adjusted statutory net loss in
2009, which consisted of $59 million of operating earnings, $378
million of net realized capital losses, and $173 million of
unrealized capital gains (largely because of the derivatives).
"When analyzing statutory earnings, we adjust income to include
the unrealized gains or losses on derivatives backing the equity-
indexed annuities, reported as a component of capital and surplus,
in order to match it against the offsetting credit to reserves,
reported in income from operations," S&P said.

Despite a $59 million dividend to Old Mutual plc, FGLIC improved
its risk-based capital (RBC) ratio to 350% in 2010 from 312% in
2009, primarily as a result of positive statutory operating
earnings. "Old Mutual plc, the previous parent, historically
committed to maintaining an RBC ratio of 300%, which we took into
account when assigning the ratings," S&P disclosed.

The ratings on FGLIC reflect its marginal competitive position,
which it derives from its product-manufacturing capabilities and
distribution relationships in its niche markets. FGLIC's
concentrated business profile focuses primarily on the highly
competitive annuity market and -- to a lesser extent -- on the
universal life insurance markets. Management's efforts in 2009
to maintain depressed sales volumes narrowed FGLIC's business
profile and may continue to affect the company's competitive
position.

"In our view, FGLIC's investment portfolio has larger exposure to
credit risk than peers. Specifically, FGLIC has above-industry-
average exposure to 'BBB' rated investments and one of the highest
ratios of hybrid holdings to capital in the industry. In addition,
FGLIC has significant exposure to asset-backed securities,
including residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial
mortgage-backed securities, which could result in further
impairments if markets were to experience another downturn. In
fulfillment of certain terms and conditions for the pending sale
of the company, Harbinger Group identified certain investments
that were to be excluded from the sale. During 2010 and 2011,
FGLIC disposed of these investments to lower the risk in
its portfolio without incurring significant losses," S&P stated.


FKF MADISON: Seeks More Time to Negotiate Restructuring Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that Manhattan condominium tower
One Madison Park is seeking to keep a tight grip on its
restructuring so it can finish drafting its plan to exit
bankruptcy with the help of HFZ Capital Group.

FKF Madison Park Group Owner, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 10-11867) on June 8, 2010.
FKF Madison owns the One Madison Park condominium tower in New
York City.  One Madison Park project came to halt in February 2010
when iStar Financial Inc., the chief financier for the project,
moved to foreclose on it.  The high-profile condominium project, a
50-story tower was developed by Ira Shapiro and Marc Jacobs.


FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR: S&P Raises CCR to 'B'; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Austin, Texas-based Freescale Semiconductor Inc. to 'B'
from 'B-' and removed the rating from CreditWatch Positive, where
it was placed on Feb. 14, 2011. The outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we revised our recovery rating on the senior
secured debt to '3' from '4'. The '3' recovery rating indicates
meaningful (50%-70%) recovery of principal in the event of a
payment default," S&P related.

"Freescale's rating reflects our expectation that operating trends
will continue to improve gradually, supporting modestly higher
levels of EBITDA," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lucy
Patricola, "and that leverage will gradually improve from still-
high levels." "We expect the company's cash balances will remain a
key pillar of support for the rating as debt to EBITDA stays high
for the rating. Specifically, we expect revenues to expand around
10% in 2011, based on improving automotive production and
sustained networking demand," S&P stated.

"We expect gross margins to improve very incrementally through
2011, which, along with flat operating expenses, should result in
modestly higher EBITDA margins," added Ms. Patricola.


FULL CIRCLE: Has Until July 5 to File Chapter 11 Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida
extended the exclusive periods of Full Circle Dairy LLC to file a
Chapter 11 plan until July 5, 2011, and solicit acceptances of
that plan until Sept. 3, 2011.

According to the Debtor, the extension will increase the
likelihood of a consensual resolution of the case that preserves a
greater reorganization value than will any plan that the Debtor
might file at this time simply to preserve its exclusive rights.

Full Circle Dairy, LLC, operates a dairy in Lee, Florida.  It
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case
No. 10-06895) on Aug. 9, 2010.  Robert D Wilcox, Esq., at Brennan,
Manna & Diamond, PL, represents the Debtor.  The official
committee of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 case has tapped
John T. Rogerson, III, Esq., at Volpe, Bajalia, Wickes, Rogerson &
Wachs, in Jacksonville, Florida, as counsel.

The Company disclosed $14,281,637 in assets and $12,879,703 in
liabilities as of the Petition Date.


GARDA WORLD: S&P Keeps 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' 'B' debt rating on Montreal,
Que.-based cash logistics and physical security services provider
Garda World Security Corp.'s C$75 million 9.75% senior unsecured
notes due March 15, 2017 remains unchanged following the add-on of
C$50 million to the issuance. "The recovery rating is '5',
indicating our expectation of modest recovery (10%-30%) in the
event of default. The ratings are subject to the satisfactory
completion of the transaction and review of the final
documentation," S&P related.

The proposed notes will rank equally with and form part of a
single series with the company's existing C$75 million notes which
were issued under an indenture dated March 12, 2010. The notes are
senior unsecured obligations of Garda and will rank equally with
all existing and future senior unsecured obligations of the
company, but rank junior to the company's senior secured debt. "It
is our understanding that closing of the notes offering will occur
on or about June 2, 2011," S&P noted.

The company intends to use the net proceeds from the debt issuance
to prepay a portion of its existing C$215 million senior secured
term loan, of which about C$182 million was outstanding as of
April 30, 2011. "We do not expect the refinancing to materially
change the company's credit profile, and as such the ratings on
the company remain unaffected," said S&P.

The 'B+' ratings on Garda reflect Standard & Poor's view of the
company's highly leveraged financial risk profile characterized by
relatively weak adjusted debt to EBITDA (about 5x for the 12-
months ended April 30), correspondingly weak cash flow protection
measures, and an acquisitive growth strategy. "The company's
satisfactory business risk profile, which we derive from its solid
market position in its core North American operations and
relatively high barriers to entry in the cash logistics segment,
partially offsets these concerns in our opinion," S&P added.

GEORGE FISETTE: Court Mulls Dismissal, Says Plan Unconfirmable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge David R. Duncan denied confirmation of George
Walter Fisette's amended chapter 11 plan filed March 30, 2011,
saying the Plan does not meet the requirements of 11 U.S.C.
Section 1129.  The Debtor is not current on his ongoing domestic
support payments and therefore cannot meet the requirement of
section 1129(a)(14).  The Debtor has not shown that quarterly fees
due to the U.S. Trustee have actually been paid.  Additionally,
the Debtor has not met his burden of showing feasibility.  A
previous proposed plan was denied confirmation by the Court on
March 16, 2011.  While the Debtor may propose yet another plan,
the Court said it intends to schedule a hearing on whether the
Debtor's case should be dismissed for failure to propose a
confirmable plan.

George Walter Fisette filed for Chapter 13 protection on Aug. 3,
2010.  The Debtor's case was converted to Chapter 11 (Bankr. D.
S.C. Case No. 10-05566) after the Debtor filed a Motion to Convert
on Oct. 8, 2010.  An Order granting the Debtor's Motion to Convert
was entered Nov. 5, 2010.  The Debtor then filed his original
chapter 11 plan on Feb. 1, 2011.  Confirmation of that plan was
denied on March 16, 2011.  The second plan was filed on March 30,
2011.

The plan provides for total plan payments of approximately $2,500
per month.  The Debtor also has a domestic support obligation in
the amount of $1,250 per month.  With the exception of the
November 2010, January 2011, and April 2011 monthly operating
reports, the Debtor's monthly operating reports show income
insufficient to cover these expenditures.  An average of the cash
profit reported on the Debtor's monthly operating reports yields
insufficient income in all months to cover plan payments.

Objections to confirmation of the Plan were filed by the U.S.
Trustee on April 28, 2011, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. on April
18, 2011.  A hearing was held May 10, 2011. At the hearing, Chase
indicated that it had reached an agreement with Debtor, and the
parties entered into a consent order.  The U.S. Trustee continued
to object.

A copy of Judge Duncan's May 12, 2011 Order is available at
http://is.gd/L3IuYxfrom Leagle.com.

In September 2010, Mr. Fisette began an event production company
called P.E. Productions.  The Debtor operates this business as a
sole proprietorship, although he testified that he is in the
process of incorporating the business.  His company produces shows
for Live Nation.  These shows are held in various cities
nationwide at House of Blues locations and other Live Nation
venues.


GREAT ATLANTIC: Super-Fresh Sale Brings $40 Million Plus Inventory
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. filed papers in
bankruptcy court this week with details about the sale of 12
Super-Fresh stores in the Baltimore-Washington area.  Thirteen
other locations didn't attract buyers at auction.  For the 12
stores, the buyers will pay an aggregate of $37.83 million, plus
the value of inventory.  At seven stores that didn't sell, buyers
will pay a total of $2.2 million for pharmacy customer records,
plus the value of pharmacy inventory.  There will be a hearing in
bankruptcy in Manhattan on June 14 for approval of the sales.

Mr. Rochelle notes that the stores that didn't sell will close by
mid-July, A&P previously said in a statement. Super-Fresh
locations in other states will remain in operation.  A joint
venture involving Village Supermarkets and Mrs. Greens Management
Corp. bought 10 of the stores.

HEXCEL CORP: S&P Raises CCR to 'BB+' on Improving Credit Metrics
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Hexcel Corp. to 'BB+' from 'BB'. "At the same time, we
raised our issue-level rating on the company's $75 million senior
subordinated notes to 'BB+' from 'B+' and revised the recovery
rating to '4' from '6'. The outlook is stable," S&P stated.

"We are raising our ratings on Hexcel because of an improvement in
the company's financial profile, which has benefitted from strong
earnings growth, as well as debt reduction over the past year,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christopher DeNicolo. "We
expect that key credit metrics will remain above average for the
rating over the next two years. Our ratings on Hexcel reflect its
participation in the competitive and cyclical commercial aerospace
industry and the company's need to make significant investments in
additional carbon fiber production to support increased demand of
newer widebody planes. Hexcel's position as a leading global
manufacturer of advanced composite materials, as well as its
significant program and end-market diversity partially offset
these factors. We consider Hexcel's business risk profile
fair and its financial risk intermediate."

Hexcel aggressively added capacity in 2006-2008, but curtailed
capital spending in both 2009 and 2010 as the commercial aerospace
market weakened and certain new programs were delayed. As a
result, the company was able to generate about $75 million of free
cash flow in both years, using the majority of the proceeds to
paydown about $110 million in debt. Debt reduction, combined with
earnings growth as the commercial aerospace market recovered in
2010, allowed its key credit metrics to improve significantly,
with funds from operations (FFO) to debt increasing to 52% in the
12 months ending March 31, 2011, from 27% in the 2010 period, and
debt to EBITDA declining to 1.6x from 3.1x--levels much better
than average for the rating. "While we expect Hexcel's capital
spending to increase substantially in order to fund expansion of
its carbon-fiber capabilities to support the Airbus A350 widebody
aircraft program over the next few years, we believe internal
sources of cash should be sufficient. Therefore, we believe that
FFO to debt should remain in the 45%-55% range and debt to EBITDA
should remain below 2x over the next two years. We also expect
EBITDA interest coverage to improve to 10x within a year, partly
as a result of lower interest expense, which followed the
company's repayment of a portion of its subordinated notes with
lower-cost bank borrowings," S&P related.

The outlook is stable. "We believe that better profitability
resulting from increasing demand for Hexcel's commercial aerospace
products should allow the company to maintain a financial profile
appropriate for the ratings, despite increasing capital spending
to support new programs, such as the A350," Mr. DeNicolo
continued. "We could lower the ratings if delays on new programs
pressure revenue and earnings, or debt increases materially to
fund capital expansion, causing FFO to debt to fall below 30%, or
debt to EBITDA to rise above 3x. It is unlikely that we will raise
the ratings over the next year given the recent upgrade and
substantial required capital spending to support new programs."

HORIZON LINES: Fails to Comply with NYSE's Listing Standards
------------------------------------------------------------
Horizon Lines, Inc., announced that the New York Stock Exchange
has notified the company that it has fallen below the NYSE's
continued listing standards related to minimum market
capitalization in combination with stockholders' equity.

Horizon Lines is considered below continued listing criteria
established by the NYSE because the company's market
capitalization averaged less than $50 million over a consecutive
30 trading-day period at the same time that stockholders' equity
was below $50 million.  According to NYSE continued listing
criteria, a NYSE-listed company must maintain average market
capitalization of not less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day
period or stockholders' equity of not less than $50 million.
Horizon Lines' stockholders' equity was below $50 million in its
most recent 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 29, 2011, for the quarter ended March 27, 2011.

Horizon Lines has notified the NYSE that it will submit a plan to
restore compliance.  The company has 45 days from receipt of the
May 24, 2011, notice to submit a plan and the NYSE has 45 days
from receipt of the plan to accept or reject it.  If the plan is
accepted, the company has up to 18 months to demonstrate
compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. During this
18-month period, the company's shares will continue to be listed
and traded on the NYSE, subject to compliance with other NYSE
continued listing standards.

The company is currently in discussions to refinance its debt and,
as part of the plan to restore compliance, it hopes that a
successful refinancing outcome, if achieved, will help cure the
deficiency.

"Our objective is to secure a comprehensive refinancing" said
Stephen H. Fraser, president and chief executive officer.  "We
believe our current stock price and market capitalization reflect
investor concern over our ability to achieve a long-term
refinancing that deleverages the company and preserves equity.  We
are working toward a refinancing which we hope will alleviate that
concern and help us achieve higher market capitalization."

Horizon Lines' ability to continue as a going concern, following
the Company's 2010 results.  According to Ernst & Young, there is
uncertainty that Horizon Lines, Inc., will remain in compliance
with certain debt covenants throughout 2011 and will be able to
cure the acceleration clause contained in the convertible notes.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 8, 2011,
Moody's Investors Service said Horizon Lines, Inc.'s plea
agreement regarding antitrust matters in the Puerto Rico trade
lane is credit negative but does not at this time affect its
'Caa1' Corporate Family or its other debt ratings of Horizon.

The last rating action on Horizon was on May 18, 2010 when Moody's
lowered its ratings, including the corporate family rating to
'Caa1' and maintained the negative outlook.


HRAF HOLDINGS: Lenders OK Plan Exclusivity Until Aug. 4
-------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. R. Kimball Mosier of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Utah approved a stipulation entered between HRAF
Holdings LLC and Harbor Real Asset Fund LP, and Bank of America,
N.A., extending until Aug. 4, 2011, their exclusive period to
solicit acceptances for the proposed Chapter 11 plan.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 15, the
Debtors asked that the Court extend their exclusive period to
solicit acceptances of their plan from March 7, to Sept. 4.

The Debtors explained that they and their largest creditor, Bank
of America, N.A., have been engaged in complicated, serious, good
faith negotiations regarding the terms of the Debtors' joint plan
of reorganization and the bank's treatment thereunder.  These
negotiations are ongoing.  However, the negotiations neither have
resulted in a stipulated plan, nor have the negotiations resulted
in stalemate or failure.  Once the negotiations conclude, whether
in success or failure, the Debtors anticipate filing an amended
plan and amended disclosure statement, and proceeding with the
plan confirmation process.

However, Bofa reasoned that the requested extension of 180 days is
excessive and that, under the present circumstances, particularly
in light of the fact that the negotiations are mature and nearing
either a mutual agreement or an impasse, an extension of the
exclusive period of 120 days would be more than adequate to
accomplish the Debtors' objectives in these cases.  Accordingly,
BofA objects to the Debtors' joint motion and, proposes, in the
alternative, that a more limited extension of 120 days be
authorized by the Court.

David E. Leta, Esq, at Snell & Wilmer, represents the bank.

According to the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 23, 2010, the
Debtor have filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization and disclosure
statement with the Court.

Through the Plan, the Debtors propose to repay creditors in full
with the proceeds of the liquidation of its real estate portfolio.
The Debtors propose to liquidate their remaining real estate
holdings in an orderly process designed to maximize returns to all
stakeholders.  The Debtors will pay Bank of America, N.A., in full
not less than two years after the effective date of the Plan.
Other secured creditors will be paid in full not less than three
years after the effective date.

With respect to the holders of unsecured claims, the Debtors have
proposed to immediately pay certain relatively small claims (less
than $3,000) 80% of the face amount of the claims.  Other holders
of unsecured claims will be paid in full under the Plan not later
than the end of the final sales period.

IMG WORLDWIDE: S&P Affirms CCR at 'B'; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary 'B+'
issue level rating to IMG Worldwide Inc's proposed $350 senior
secured credit facilities due 2016. "We also assigned this debt a
preliminary recovery rating of '2', indicating our expectation of
substantial (70% to 90%) recovery for lenders in the event of a
payment default. The proposed facilities will consist of a $50
million revolving credit facility due 2015 and a $300 million term
loan due 2016. The company plans to use the proceeds from the
proposed transaction to refinance its existing credit facilities.
Our preliminary ratings are subject to our review of final
documentation," S&P stated.

"We also affirmed our 'B' corporate credit rating on the parent
company IMG Worldwide Holdings Inc. (IMG). The outlook is stable,"
S&P said.

"Our corporate rating on New York City-based IMG reflects the
company's high debt leverage, aggressive financial policy,
acquisitive growth strategy, and volatility in operating
performance given the company's underlying reliance on corporate
marketing spend and sponsorship contract renewals, which are
sensitive to the changes in the economic cycle," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Michael Halchak. These factors are tempered
by the company's leading market position as a sports,
entertainment, and media company, its strong level of client
diversification, and its long-standing relationships with
athletes, corporate sponsors, media broadcasting firms, and
sanctioned sporting events.

"The rating incorporates our expectation for moderately positive
EBITDA growth in 2011 largely attributable to the acquisition of
ISP Sports and organic growth in the college segment, as well as
benefits from continued cost improvements in the overall business.
In October 2010, the company completed the acquisition of ISP
Sports, a collegiate media rights firm which manages 50
universities under long-term contracts. In our view this business
will complement IMG's college sports business and will drive
future growth of the organization given the strong demographic
profile of college sports fans. We expect modest organic growth in
the sports and entertainment and media businesses in 2011 as the
company benefits from a somewhat improved economic environment,"
S&P stated.

"Based on our performance expectations, total lease adjusted debt
to EBITDA is likely to be high for the current rating at the end
of 2011, although the company's liquidity profile in terms of
EBITDA interest coverage, cash balances and revolver availability
are anticipated to be adequate for the current rating and to
offset high expected leverage. We expect IMG to maintain
EBITDA coverage of interest at a level that is good for the rating
given the low interest costs it faces on the company's
subordinated notes," according to S&P.


INOVA TECHNOLOGY: Completes $928,000 Network Solutions Project
--------------------------------------------------------------
Inova Technology, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Desert
Communications, has completed another $928,000 worth of network
solutions projects for Alamogordo and Ysleta school districts.

"These projects were completed in April and have given us great
start to the busy part of the year," said CEO, Mr. Adam Radly.
"The company has also bid on numerous additional projects and
expects to report the results of those bids during May 2011."

The company receives projects in two stages: The first stage
involves being awarded the project and the second stage involves
getting approved funding for the project. Projects that form part
of the company's $20 million backlog are projects that are both
awarded and funded.

Inova previously announced that its revenue for the nine months
ended January 2011 was up by 32%, compared to the same period a
year ago.  The company also previously announced that it paid down
$600,000 of debt in February 2011.

deficit as of April 30, 2010.


INTEGRA TELECOM: Moody's Withdraws 'Caa2' Unsecured Note Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the Caa2 (LGD5-85%)
ratings on Integra Telecom Holdings, Inc.'s proposed senior
unsecured notes due 2016, following its announcement that it is no
longer issuing the notes. Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Integra Telecom, Inc. The new notes were offered in an exchange
for Holdings' existing $248 million senior secured term loan due
2015. Moody's recognizes that Integra may seek other refinancing
alternatives to simplify its capital structure and lower its
absolute cost of borrowing, thus helping the free cash flow
generation.

RATINGS RATIONALE

As part of the rating action, Moody's affirmed the Company's
Corporate Family Rating at B3 and the Probability of Default
Rating at B3. In addition, given that the existing capital
structure will remain in place, Moody's downgraded the ratings on
Holdings' existing $248 million term loan to B3 (LGD4-53%), from
B2 (LGD4-53%), and the $475 million senior secured notes to B3
(LGD4-53%) from B2 (LGD3-35%), reflecting the CFR downgrade
earlier this year. The rating on the company's first out revolver
due 2015 remains unchanged at Ba3.

Issuer: Integra Telecom Holdings, Inc.

   -- $260 million Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2016, Caa2 (LGD5-
      85%) - Withdrawn

   -- Senior Secured Term Loan Due 2015, to B3 (LGD4-53%) from B2
      (LGD4-53%)

   -- 10.75% Senior Secured Notes Due 2016 to B3 (LGD4-53%) from
      B2 (LGD3-35%)

Integra's B3 corporate family rating reflects the Company's high
leverage for a competitive telecommunications company, the
challenge of repositioning its product portfolio and network to
provide more data-centric products to its customers and expanding
the reach of its fiber network. Moody's views the company's
product repositioning and upmarket move as strategically
appropriate to meet the growing competition from cable operators
and incumbent telcos targeting small and medium sized business
customers (SMB's). However, to implement these initiatives,
Integra will increase capital spending and hire more salespeople
over the next two years, thus generating negative free cash flow,
as these added costs compound the impact of expected churn of the
company's lower end customers. Moody's notes that the ratings are
supported by the Company's significant fiber-optic network in the
Pacific Northwest and its management team's long track record of
operating in the competitive telecom arena.

Moody's believes the company will have adequate liquidity over the
next four quarters, as the company's increased spending will be
funded with cash balances and full access to its $60 million
revolver. Moody's also expects the Company to have sufficient
cushion under its bank facility covenants.

What Could Change the Rating - Up

Given the Company's execution challenges and expected negative
free cash flow over the next 12-24 months, upward rating pressure
is unlikely in the near term. However, positive ratings actions
could occur if the Company is successful in turning around
performance and delevering, such that its adjusted Debt/EBITDA
leverage is maintained below 4.0x.

What Could Change the Rating - Down

Moody's will likely lower Integra's ratings further if the Company
is unable to deliver revenue and EBITDA growth or if its business
repositioning consumes more cash resources than envisioned, its
adjusted Debt/EBITDA leverage remains in the 5.0x range and its
liquidity becomes strained.

The principal methodology used in rating Integra was the Global
Telecommunications Industry Methodology, published December 2010.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative Grade Issuers in the US, Canada, and EMEA, published
June 2009.


INTEGRA TELECOM: S&P Withdraws 'CCC+' Rating on Unsecured Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its issue-level rating
on Portland, Ore.-based competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC)
Integra Telecom Holdings Inc.'s proposed $260 million unsecured
notes after the company withdrew the offer.

"At the same time, we lowered the issue-level rating on its
existing $475 million senior secured notes to 'B-' from 'B' and
revised the recovery rating on the notes to '5' from '4'.
Meanwhile, we upgraded the $250 million term loan B to 'B-' from
'CCC+', maintaining the recovery rating of '5'," S&P noted.

According to S&P, "We also raised the rating on the company's
first-priority $60 million revolving credit facility to 'BB-' from
'B+', keeping the '1' recovery rating. The '1' recovery rating
indicates our expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery in
the event of default, while the '5' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for modest (10% to 30%) recovery."

"The issue-level rating changes reflect our expectation that the
company will not refinance any of the secured debt with lower
priority unsecured or subordinated debt. The upgrades on the term
loan and revolver result from the raising of the corporate credit
rating on May 17, 2011. These issues were not raised at that time
because we had expected them to be repaid with proceeds of the
unsecured note issuance," S&P stated.

"The cancellation does not immediately affect our 'B' corporate
credit rating or stable outlook on parent Integra Telecom Inc.
Adjusted leverage remains at 4.4x, within the parameters for the
financial risk assessment. However, the refinancing would have
removed financial maintenance covenants from the company's debt
structure. While there was slightly over 15% cushion with
respect to these covenants as of March 30, 2010, a continued
decline in EBITDA could cause us to revise our liquidity
assessment of adequate," S&P added.

INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURAL: Prepack Fails; Chapter 7 Filed
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that International Aluminum Corp.'s reorganization, which
was completed in May 2010, ended up in failure.  Changing its name
to International Architectural Group LLC, the company realized by
December that operations weren't measuring up to expectations.

According to the report, the lenders seized bank accounts in early
May taking $13 million and reducing their debt to $25 million,
according to the newly appointed bankruptcy trustee.  Allowed by
the lenders to cover a final payroll, the business closed and
filed for Chapter 7 liquidation (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 11-
30486) on May 11 in Los Angeles.

The Chapter 7 trustee, David A. Gill, selected Counsel RB Capital
Inc. and an affiliate of Hilco Merchant Resources LLC to sell the
assets, according to an e-mailed statement from Counsel RB to
Bloomberg News.  They intend to use a combination of bulk sales,
private sales and auctions.

The Chapter 7 trustee said in a court filing in May that last
year's reorganization only dealt with the balance sheet.  He said
it "did not attempt to restructure operations."

ratings outlook to negative from stable and lowered its liquidity
rating to SGL-2 from SGL-1. Concurrently, a Baa3 rating was
assigned to a proposed $1.35 billion senior secured credit
facility. All other ratings were affirmed, including the Ba3
Corporate Family Rating and the B1 rating on the senior
subordinated note issues.

Iron Mountain is seeking to refinance its existing $765 million
senior secured revolver due April 2012 (outstanding balance of
$192 million at March 31, 2011) and $400 million senior secured
term loan due 2014 with a $750 million senior secured revolver and
a $600 million senior secured term loan A, both due in 2016. The
revolver is expected to be undrawn at close.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The change in Iron Mountain's ratings outlook to negative from
stable reflects Moody's expectation that financial leverage will
rise approximately one-half a turn to 4.5 times (using Moody's
standard adjustments for operating leases) over the next eighteen
months due to a considerable shift in the company's financial
policies towards higher shareholder payouts, partially funded with
debt. The negative outlook further reflects the possibility that
margin enhancement initiatives in the international business could
take longer to achieve than planned, or not be fully realized,
causing financial leverage to be sustained at an even higher level
over the medium term.

On April 19, 2011, Iron Mountain announced a three-year strategic
plan to enhance stockholder value. The plan includes shareholder
payouts of $2.2 billion through 2013, including $1.2 billion to be
paid within twelve months, through a combination of share
repurchases and dividends. Payments will be funded with additional
debt, proceeds from the sale of the digital business (estimated at
$380 million), and free cash flow generation. Management expects
annual cash flow available to shareholders to trend higher due to
a planned reduction in capital spending and additional focus on
enhancing profit margins, particularly in Iron Mountain's
international operations. Acquisition spending, which had been
primarily focused on digital expansion in recent years, is
expected to moderate now that Iron Mountain has signed a
definitive agreement to sell its digital business. Nonetheless,
incremental debt will be needed to meet shareholder commitments
and there is risk that the company may not achieve all of its
operational goals for the international business. As of March 31,
2011, financial leverage was approximately 3.0 times per the
credit agreement calculation, at the low end of the company's
stated target range of 3.0 - 4.0 times. Management projects that
leverage will move towards the mid-point of this range in the
near-term.

The Ba3 CFR continues to be supported by Iron Mountain's large
revenue base, high operating margins, good liquidity profile,
considerable market share in North America, and the
diversification of revenues geographically and by customer.
Nonetheless, the business faces secular pressures stemming from
the gradual shift away from paper towards electronic media. With
the sale of the digital business, it may become increasingly
difficult for Iron Mountain to offset secular pressures and normal
churn with price increases and additional volumes from existing
and new customers.

The outlook could be stabilized if Iron Mountain achieves its
near-term operational goals in the international business while
maintaining at least modestly positive consolidated revenue
growth, such that shareholder programs can be achieved without
raising financial leverage above 4.5 times on an adjusted basis.
The ratings could be lowered if Moody's were to expect sustained
organic revenue declines in mature markets and financial leverage
maintained above 4.7 times.

The downgrade in the liquidity rating to SGL-2 from SGL-1 reflects
Moody's expectation that Iron Mountain will not be able to fund
all shareholder commitments through internally generated cash flow
and will need to draw on the revolver or issue additional debt to
fund a portion of these payments. Nonetheless, Moody's expects
Iron Mountain to maintain good liquidity over the next four
quarters, with ample availability on the proposed $750 million
revolver and good cushion under covenants.

Moody's assigned these ratings (and LGD assessments) to Iron
Mountain Information Management, Inc.:

   -- Proposed $750 million senior secured revolver due 2016, Baa3
      (LGD2, 10%)

   -- Proposed $600 million senior secured term loan A due 2016,
      Baa3 (LGD2, 10%)

   -- Moody's downgraded the below rating of Iron Mountain
      Incorporated:

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, to SGL-2 from SGL-1

Moody's affirmed these ratings of Iron Mountain Incorporated (and
adjusted the Loss Given Default point estimates, as noted):

   -- Corporate Family Rating, Ba3

   -- Probability of Default Rating, Ba3

   -- $765 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
      April 2012, Baa3 (LGD2, 11%) -- rating to be withdrawn upon
      closing of the proposed transaction

   -- $397 (originally $410) million term loan due 2014, Baa3
      (LGD2, 11%) -- rating to be withdrawn upon closing of the
      proposed transaction

   -- GBP150 million 7.25% senior subordinated notes due 2014, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

   -- $317 million 6.625% senior subordinated notes due 2016, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

   -- $200 million 8.75% senior subordinated notes due 2018, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

   -- EUR225 million 6.75% senior subordinated notes due 2018, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

   -- $50 million 8% senior subordinated notes due 2018, B1 (LGD4,
      to 66% from 67%)

   -- $300 million 8% senior subordinated notes due 2020, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

   -- $548 million 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

   -- Moody's affirmed the following rating of Iron Mountain Nova
      Scotia Funding Company:

   -- C$175 million 7.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017, B1
      (LGD4, to 66% from 67%)

The principal methodology used in rating Iron Mountain
Incorporated was the Global Business & Consumer Service Industry
Methodology, published October 2010. Other methodologies used
include Loss Given Default for Speculative Grade Issuers in the
US, Canada, and EMEA, published June 2009.

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Iron Mountain is an
international provider of information storage and related
services. Pro forma for the sale of the digital business,
consolidated revenues were approximately $2.9 billion in 2010.


ISP CHEMCO: S&P Puts 'BB-' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings on ISP
Chemco LLC, including the 'BB-' corporate credit rating, on
CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch listing follows the announcement that Ashland Inc.
agreed to purchase privately owned International Specialty
Products Inc., a parent of ISP Chemco LLC in a transaction valued
at approximately $3.2 billion. "The positive implication of the
listing indicates the potential for a modest upgrade, subject to a
review of more information on the financial policies and
capital structure of the combined business, assuming the deal
closes as planned," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ket
Gondha.

With trailing-12-month sales of about $1.6 billion, Wayne, N.J.-
based ISP is a global supplier of specialty chemicals and
performance-enhancing products for consumer and industrial
markets.


ISLAND ONE: Emerges From Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
----------------------------------------------
Sara K. Clarke at the Orlando Sentinel reports that Island One
Resorts has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.  The
company said its reorganization included divesting certain assets,
such as the Chenay Bay Beach Resort in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

In its announcement, the company said its executive team remains
intact and the company's restructuring will allow it to move
forward "with the capital necessary to implement our strategic
plan."

The Orlando Business Journal in a report said the reorganization
plan was sponsored by Timeshare Acquisitions LLC.  Timeshare
Acquisitions is a Delaware company established to acquire the
reorganized equity interests in Island One and Crescent One LLC.

As reported in the May 9, 2011 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter on May 9, 2011, Bill Rochelle, Bloomberg News' bankruptcy
columnist, reported that Island One Inc. persuaded the bankruptcy
judge in Orlando, Florida, at a hearing on May 4 to sign a
confirmation order approving the reorganization plan.  In return
for $13 million, a group formerly associated with Bay Harbour
Management LC bought the equity.  The plan provides for different
treatment for the secured lenders and unsecured creditors at each
of the properties.  At the outset of the case, Island One said in
a court filing that Bay Harbour was negotiating to buy the
company.  Secured creditor Textron Financial Corp. was owed $99.1
million.  Branch Banking & Trust Co. had a $39.1 million secured
claim.  Liberty Bank was a secured creditor originally listed as
being owed $7.9 million.

                        About Island One

Orlando, Florida-based Island One, Inc., is the developer and
operator of 10 timeshare vacation communities in Florida and the
Virgin Islands.  Island One filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 10-16177) on Sept. 10, 2010.
Tiffany D. Payne, Esq., Elizabeth A. Green, Esq., and Jimmy D.
Parrish, Esq., at Baker & Hostetler LLP, in Orlando Fla.,
represent the Debtors as counsel.  In its schedules, the Debtor
disclosed $155,100,767 in assets and $310,897,452 in liabilities.

IOI Funding I, LLC, a debtor-affiliate, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on Sept. 10, 2010 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case
No. 10-16189).  The Debtor disclosed total assets of $9,230,309,
and total liabilities of $7,265,160.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
cases of Island One, Inc. has tapped Adam Lawton Alpert, Esq., a
shareholder, and Bush Ross, P.A. as its general counsel.


JAMES MCGOEY: Plan Treatment of Wells Fargo Claim Not Reasonable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge William J. Lafferty, III, said the proposed
treatment of Wells Fargo's claim under Class 1 of the Plan of
Reorganization proposed by James E. McGoey is not commercially
reasonable.  The Plan provides that, "if Wells Fargo denies the
loan modification, then the debtor shall have 84 months from the
date of the written rejection to confirm an amended plan which
provides for a cure of the pre-petition arrears of $33,709.00."
Judge Lafferty said 84 months is not a reasonable amount of time
to confirm an amended plan that addresses the pre-petition
arrears.  The Court thinks that the Plan may have intended to
state that the Debtor will have 84 months from the date of the
written rejection letter to cure the pre-petition arrears.

On May 10, 2011, the Court issued a Memorandum of Decision
pointing a number of apparent deficiencies in the Disclosure
Statement and Plan of Reorganization.  The hearing to consider the
adequacy of the Disclosure Statement was set for May 11, 2011, and
the Court said it issued the Memorandum of Decision to assist the
Debtor and parties in interest, and to streamline the discussion
at the hearing, by pointing out certain apparent deficiencies in
the Disclosure Statement and Plan currently on file that will need
to be remedied before the Disclosure Statement may be approved.  A
copy of the Court's Memorandum of Decision is available at
http://is.gd/YgufJ5from Leagle.com.

James E. McGoey in Emeryville, California, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Calif. Case No. 10-70004) on Aug. 31,

as counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor listed $1 million to
$10 million in assets and $500,001 to $1 million in debts.


JAMES MOORE: Court Denies Zinchiks' Bid to Pursue Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Edward D. Jellen denied the request of Paul
Zinchik and Leonid Zinchik, individually and as Trustee of the
Irina and Leonid Zinchik Trust, for relief from the automatic stay
to continue prosecution of a fraudulent conveyance action against
certain transferees to which James Moore conveyed interests in two
parcels of real property prior to his filing of a Chapter 11
petition.  The Court also denied the Zinchiks' request for relief
to continue prosecution of a similar action as to a third parcel,
as to which the Zinchiks contend that Mr. Moore was never on
title, but as to which he may have a claim for some net proceeds,
if there be any, in the event of a sale following the
rehabilitation of that parcel.  Mr. Moore opposes relief, and
contends that the Zinchiks' judgment against him is on appeal, and
thus, that they may end up not being his creditors.  And in any
event, Mr. Moore contends that the fraudulent conveyance claims
are property of his bankruptcy estate, and that any recovery
thereon should be for the benefit of all the creditors of the
estate, not just the Zinchiks.  A copy of the Court's May 13, 2011
Memorandum Decision is available at http://is.gd/O5idPYfrom

JEFFREY PROSSER: PB's $6.9MM Offer for 1929 House Wins Auction
--------------------------------------------------------------
Darrell Hofheinz at Daily News Real reports that a deed recorded
shows that Palm Beachers Jeffrey and Frances Fisher paid
$6.91 million for the landmarked El Bravo Way home of Jeffrey and
Dawn Prosser, who were evicted from the property before its sale
was finalized by order of a federal bankruptcy judge.  The 1929
house was the subject of a March 1 bankruptcy trustee's auction in
Pennsylvania that drew three bidders.  The auction ended with a
high bid of $6.91 million submitted by a limited liability company
named PB Purchase LLC.  All of the bidders had Palm Beach ties,
according to sources close to the auction, which was overseen by
Bankruptcy Judge Judith Fitzgerald of the Pittsburgh-based U.S.
District Court for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

             About Prosser & Innovative Communication

Headquartered in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Innovative
Communication Company, LLC -- http://www.iccvi.com/-- and
Emerging Communications, Inc., are diversified telecommunications
and media companies operating mainly in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Jeffrey J. Prosser owns Emerging Communications and Innovative
Communications.  Innovative and Emerging filed for Chapter 11
protection on July 31, 2006 (D.V.I. Case Nos. 06-30007 and
06-30008).  When the Debtors filed for protection from their
creditors, they estimated assets and debts of more than
$100 million.

Mr. Prosser also filed for chapter 11 protection on July 31, 2006
(D.V.I. Case No. 06-10006).  According to The (Virgin Islands)
Source, he was fired in October 2007 for failing to make payments
into the company pension funds.  The case was later converted to
Chapter 7 liquidation.  James P. Carroll was named Chapter 7
Trustee.

Greenlight Capital Qualified, L.P., Greenlight Capital, L.P., and
Greenlight Capital Offshore, Ltd. -- which held an $18,780,614
claim against Mr. Prosser -- had filed an involuntary chapter 11
against Innovative Communication, Emerging Communications, and Mr.
Prosser on Feb. 10, 2006 (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 06-10133,
06-10134, and 06-10135).  Mr. Prosser argued that the Greenlight
entities, the former shareholders of Innovative Communications,
and Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative, Mr. Prosser's lender,
conspired to take down his companies into bankruptcy and collect
millions in claims.

The U.S. District Court of the Virgin Islands, Bankruptcy
Division, approved the U.S. Trustee for Region 21's appointment of
Stan Springel of Alvarez & Marsal as Chapter 11 Trustee of
Innovative and Emerging Communications.


JVL CORP: JVL Unveils Updated Streaming Media System
----------------------------------------------------
Marcus Webb and Nick Montano at Vending News reports that JVL
Corp. announced in mid-February that its restructuring proposal
had won support from the company's suppliers and other creditors.

According to the report, the proposal was approved by 86.67% of
affected creditors that voted in person or by proxy, representing
95.47% of the total value of the claims.  In December 2010, JVL
sent letters to creditors explaining that MSI Spergel Inc., a
Toronto-based law firm, had filed a proposal in Canada's
bankruptcy court for JVL's financial reorganization and repayment
of creditors.  The plan was filed under Canada's Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act, which is the equivalent of the U.S. Chapter 11
laws for reorganization as an ongoing concern.

The report says, at the time these letters went to creditors,
JVL said it was continuing with business as usual and that its
founders, Joseph and Val Levitan, "continue to support JVL."
Officials did not indicate either the cause of JVL's financial
difficulties or their extent.

Following creditor approval of the proposed reorganization plan,
JVL chief executive Peter Guterres indicated that a transitional
taskforce is working with the JVL team.

JVL said it continues to operate under the same management and
ownership to provide products for the amusement, casino, mobile
and music industries.  Apparently as part of the reorganization,
the company now develops and manufactures its lines under the name
JVL Labs Inc. and distributes products through JVL Amusement Inc.


K-V PHARMACEUTICAL: Samuel Isaly Discloses 10.53% Equity Stake
--------------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Samuel D. Isaly and his affiliates disclosed
that they beneficially own 5,109,200 shares of common stock of K-V
Pharmaceutical Company representing 10.53% of the shares
outstanding.  A full-text copy of the filing is available for free
at http://is.gd/7pYb2k

                  About K-V Pharmaceutical Company

KATHIE REECE-MCNEILL: Filed for Chapter 11 to Recover Aztec Hotel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kathryn Reece-McNeill filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D.
Calif. Case No. 11-30808) on May 12, 2011.

James Figueroa at Pasadena News-Star reports that Kathie Reece-
McNeill, owns Aztec Hotel and has been credited with working to
restore the 1924 building since she purchased it in 2000.  But she
is now defending a default notification by her lender, Tomato
Bank, and is embroiled in disputes with the receiver over how the
hotel is being managed.

The Aztec was on the verge of a foreclosure auction earlier this
month, but Reece-McNeill filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy May 12,
automatically postponing the auction and sending the case to a new
court.

According to the report, Ms. Reece-McNeill's attorneys said the
receiver, Joel Hiser, should have relinquished control once the
bankruptcy was filed, according to state law.  Mr. Hiser maintains
he is simply awaiting a judge's orders, and refused an attempt by
Ms. Reece-McNeill to regain control because Tomato Bank wants him
to remain in place.

A hearing set for Tuesday will determine whether Ms. Reece-McNeill
can regain control under bankruptcy proceedings.

The bank alleges Ms. Reece-McNeill is behind more than $80,000 on
payments and owes more than $2 million.  Ms. Reece-McNeill paid
her loans down to $1.7 million by August 2010, she said, and the
bank hasn't provided accurate financial statements.


KH FUNDING: Wells Fargo Has Security Interest in Bank Accounts
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Thomas J. Catliota signed off on a stipulation
and consent order between KH Funding Company and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, avoiding preferential transfer and
preserving the transfer for the benefit of the Debtor's bankruptcy
estate.  Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor issued Series 3
Senior Secured Investment Debt Securities and Series 4
Subordinated Unsecured Investment Debt Securities pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of Aug. 2, 2004.  The Debtor has asserted that,
as of the Petition Date, it owed the Bank, as indenture trustee
for the benefit of holders of Series 3 Notes, not less than
$38,150,000.  On Dec. 13, 2010, the Debtor commenced an adversary
proceeding to avoid the transfer resulting from the filing of a
financing statement -- which caused the Bank's lien on the
Debtor's assets to be perfected -- as a preferential transfer
within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 547(b).

The Stipulation, among others, provides that the Bank, as
indenture trustee for the holders of Series 3 Notes, has a valid
and enforceable first priority security interest in and lien on
the funds on deposit in the Debtor's deposit accounts with Sandy
Spring Bank and LFA Investment Services; and neither the Bank as
indenture trustee for the holders of Series 3 Notes, nor any
holder of a Series 3 Note will be a secured creditor of the Debtor
except as to the Bank's security interest in and lien on the
Debtor's deposit accounts with Sandy Spring Bank and LFA
Investment Services.

A copy of the Stipulation, approved on May 17, is available at
http://is.gd/a9qwb8from Leagle.com.

Judge Catliota also signed off on a May 13-dated stipulation
between the parties governing the Debtor's use of Wells Fargo's
cash collateral in its capacity as indenture trustee.  A copy of
that stipulation is available at http://is.gd/LCwn7ufrom

Rothman Hoffberger & Hollander, LLC, in Baltimore, Maryland,
serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.  The Debtor estimated
its assets and debts at $10 million to $50 million.

W. Clarkson McDow, Jr., United States Trustee for Region 4,

Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  The Committee is represented by
Bradford J. Sandler, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP,

financial advisor.


KH FUNDING: Committee Authorized to Hire BDO Consulting as Advisor
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Thomas Catliota of U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Maryland has authorized the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors of KH Funding Company to retain BDO Consulting as
Financial Advisor provided that the Committee will do its best to
minimize expenses and compensation to be incurred by BDO; BDO will
not charge the Committee for either travel time or travel costs
for its services in this case; and BDO agrees to abide by the
Court's "Compensation Guidelines for Professionals in  the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland."

The U.S. Trustee had objected to the application of the Committee
to retain BDO Consulting.  The U.S. Trustee said, among other
things, BDO did not make sufficient disclosure to permit the Court
determine whether it is a disinterested person as required by
Section 328(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; the Committee has made no
showing as to why nunc pro tunc employment to Feb. 7, 2011, is
warranted; and all of the services that the Committee wants BDO to
perform appear to be unnecessary and duplicative.

The U.S. Trustee in its objection said it may be more appropriate
for the Court to appoint an examiner in this case who is
responsible and sensitive to the concerns of all parties in
interest.

KIEBLER RECREATION: Peek'n Peak to Be Auctioned on Sept. 1
----------------------------------------------------------
Ed Palatella at Erie Times-News reports that Peek'n Peak Resort
and Spa will be sold at a public auction in U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in Cleveland, Ohio, by Sept. 1, 2011, according to a last-minute
agreement by a bankruptcy a judge.  The report says the auction
prevents the Peak, near Findley Lake, N.Y., from facing
foreclosure and a sheriff sale in Chautauqua County, N.Y.

According to the report, the Peak will remain open, though a chief
restructuring officer will help oversee the daily operations of
the 1,150-acre ski and golf center, which is owned by Kiebler
Recreation LLC, of Chardon, Ohio, east of Cleveland.

Erie Times reports that Kiebler filed for Chapter 11 protection a
year ago, but failed to come up with a plan to reorganize its
debts.  The lack of a plan prompted Kiebler's primary creditor,
Huntington National Bank, to try to foreclose on the Peak and
recoup whatever the bank can.  Huntington's mortgage debt on the
Peak has reached $17.3 million since Kiebler filed for bankruptcy.

Erie Times relates that a sale in Bankruptcy Court, as opposed to
a sale through foreclosure, guarantees that the Peak will remain
open during the sale process.  A sale in Bankruptcy Court also
allows Huntington to market the resort to potential buyers, and to
better control who those buyers might be and how much they must
bid to buy the Peak.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Randolph Baxter accepted the tentative plan
and said he would review it for final approval at a later date.

KY USA ENERGY: Magdovitz Lease Is A Financing Instrument
--------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Joan A. Lloyd ruled that Kentucky USA Energy,
Inc.'s lease for three pieces of equipment with the Magdovitz
Family Trust constitutes a security interest under the Kentucky
Uniform Commercial Code rather than an unexpired lease.  The
rental payments over the term of the Agreement reflect a purchase
price of the vehicles with interest.  The Agreement provides for
purchase of the vehicles for a nominal sum at the end of the
lease.

On Oct. 20, 2010, the Trust filed an adversary proceeding
contending that the Agreement constitutes a lease and requesting
that the Debtor be ordered to surrender the equipment to the
Trust.  In response, the Debtor contends the Agreement is not a
lease but is a financing instrument and not an executory or
unexpired lease.  Both parties seek entry of partial summary
judgment on their claims.  The case is The Magdovitz Family Trust,
v. KY USA Energy, Inc. and Kentucky USA Energy, Inc. and
Hilltopper Energy, LLC, Adv. Proc. No. 10-01047 (Bankr. W.D. Ky.).

LAKE AT LAS VEGAS: Credit Suisse Wants Former Owners' Suit Tossed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy
Review, reports that Credit Suisse Group is asking a bankruptcy
judge to toss a lawsuit filed by Texas billionaire brothers Sid
and Lee Bass claiming the bank "pursued" them with a new loan
product that allowed them to cash out hundreds of millions of
dollars invested in the Lake Las Vegas project.  DBR notes the
lawsuit would allow the project's former owners to hold onto
hundreds of millions of dollars they took out of Lake Las Vegas
before it collapsed into Chapter 11.

Credit Suisse and Dallas-based investment firm Highland Capital
Management now own Lake Las Vegas following its bankruptcy.

Lake Las Vegas' Chapter 11 plan created a trust to hold proceeds
from any lawsuits pursued on behalf of the resort's creditors.
Larry Lattig, the trustee for bankruptcy creditors, sued the
Basses and other investors, seeking the return of hundreds of
millions of dollars they received from the $560 million loan
Credit Suisse arranged for the project in 2004.

DBR notes Lake Las Vegas's former owners are being sued for the
return of $470 million they took from the loan.  Of the $560
million, Lee Bass collected $112 million, while Sid Bass received
$109 million.  The late developer Ron Boeddeker received $109
million.

A hearing on the dispute is scheduled for June 17 in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas.

LAUTH INVESTMENT: Emerges from Chapter 11 Reorganization
--------------------------------------------------------
The Indianapolis Business Journal reports that Lauth Investment
Properties has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization,
with about $25 million and a portfolio of properties valued at
$35 million.  The bankruptcy reorganization plan estimates that
Lauth Investment will pay 75% to 100% of the $18.6 million it owes
Milwaukee-based M&I Bank.  M&I will also receive land from Lauth
as collateral.  Otherwise, the Debtor set aside $21,000 to pay off
any unsecured claims, meaning unsecured creditors will receive
almost nothing.  The company's equity ownership structure from
before its bankruptcy remains intact.  Bob Lauth, who remains CEO
of Lauth Investment Properties, said in a statement, "The process
we just completed was one we never planned for or expected.
Nonetheless, we successfully worked through the myriad details
that LIP's complex structure required. We are glad to have it
behind us."

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Seeks Delay of Plan Disclosures Hearing
--------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. announced its intention to adjourn
the June 28, 2011 hearing on its proposed disclosure statement
and the May 27, 2011 deadline for filing objections.  The company
has not yet fixed new dates and will file additional notice with
the Court of the new hearing date and objection filing deadline.

The ad hoc group of Lehman Brothers creditors and another group
of creditors led by Goldman Sachs Bank USA have agreed with the
adjournment of the hearing and deadline.

                Objection to Plan Outline Filed

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York objects to the approval of the
disclosure statement explaining the plan of reorganization filed
by the Debtors.

FHLBNY has asserted a claim against Lehman Brothers Special
Financing, Inc., for approximately $65 million due under a
terminated ISDA master agreement between LBSF and FHLBNY, dated
as of April 5, 2000.  LBSF's obligations under the Agreement were
guaranteed by LBHI, according to Jeff J. Friedman, Esq., at
Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, in New York.  FHLBNY has also
asserted a claim for approximately $65 million against LBHI based
on the guarantee.  Those claims, Mr. Friedman says, fall within
the definitions of "Derivative Claims" and "Derivative Guarantee
Claims" under the Debtors' Plan.

Mr. Friedman points out that, in the Disclosure Statement, the
Debtors indicate that the "Allowed amount of Derivative Claims
will be determined in accordance with the Derivative Claims
Framework."  . The Debtors further indicate that they "intend to
file a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the
Derivative Claims Framework and authorization to calculate the
Allowed amount of Derivative Claims and Derivative Guarantee
Claims in accordance with the methodology set forth in the
Derivative Claims Framework," he adds.  However, he notes, as of
May 26, that motion has not been filed.

Mr. Friedman argues that the importance of the Derivative Claims
Framework to the holders of Derivative Claims and Derivative
Guarantee Claims cannot be understated; it is an integral
component of the Debtors' Plan and the Disclosure Statement does
not contain adequate information without an explanation of how
the Derivatives Claim Framework will work and its affect on the
holders of those claims.  Further, having complete information
regarding the structure of the Derivative Claims Framework is
essential to those claimants' ability to understand how the
Debtors propose to treat the Derivative Claims and the Derivative
Guarantee Claims, he adds.  Despite this, the Debtors have not
yet filed a motion seeking approval of the Derivative Claims
Framework or otherwise provided it to the holders of Derivative
Claims and the Derivative Guarantee Claims, he notes.

Absent a thorough explanation of the Derivative Claims Framework,
the holders of those claims have no ability to understand how
their claims will be treated under the Debtors' Plan, Mr.
Friedman further argues.  Accordingly, absent appropriate
amendment to the Disclosure Statement, it fails to contain
"adequate information" as would enable a "hypothetical investor .
. . to make an informed judgment about the plan," he tells the
Court.

              LBHI Seeks Changes to Voting Process

Meanwhile, the Debtors asks Judge James Peck of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to approve
changes in the voting procedures in connection with securities
issued or guaranteed by the company.

LBHI made changes to the voting process to provide that for
securities issued by the company, individual holders of those
securities that filed claims will be responsible for completing
and submitting their own ballots if there is no indenture trustee
or other voting nominee.

The proposed changes also provide that for claims based on so-
called "Lehman Program Securities" not issued by the company, (i)
any bank, broker, custodian or other party that is the record
holder of the LPS, and (ii) any indenture trustee for LPS that
was not issued by the company, that filed a proof of claim based
on an alleged guarantee of such LPS on behalf of the beneficial
holders, is included in the definition of "voting nominee" and
may vote the claims it filed on behalf of its customers on a
master ballot.  Any party that acts as a voting nominee will be
obligated to forward the solicitation package to the beneficial
holders of the LPS and will be subject to the voting
requirements.

              Three Rival Plans in Chapter 11 Case

Lehman Brothers has filed a proposed plan that provides that
creditors that hold senior unsecured claims against the company
would recover 21.4% of their claims, up from 17.4% in the initial
plan.  Meanwhile, the company's general unsecured creditors would
recover 19.8% of their claims, up from 14.7%.

An Ad hoc group of Lehman creditors led by Paulson & Co. and the
California Public Employees Retirement System filed their own
proposed Chapter 11 plan for LBHI.  Under the group's rival plan,
senior creditors with claims against LBHI would recover about
24.5%.  The larger recovery results from substantive consolidation
where all assets are thrown into one pot and creditors receive a
similar distribution regardless of the Lehman company that owed
the debt.

Creditors, which include Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Deutsche
Bank and hedge funds Oaktree Capital Management LP and Silver
Point Capital LP, filed a rival plan on April 25, 2011, following
LBHI's move to give billions more to senior bondholders. The group
complained that LBHI's proposed restructuring plan contains
"gifts" that favor the company's senior bondholders which have not
been approved by other creditors.  The rival plan proposes a 16%
recovery for creditors that hold senior unsecured claims against
LBHI, down from 21.4% under LBHI's restructuring plan.  Meanwhile,
general unsecured creditors would recover 14.7%, down from 19.8%
under LBHI's plan.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: LBI Ignoring Court Order, Says Barclays
--------------------------------------------------------
Barclays Capital Inc. complains that James W. Giddens, the SIPA
trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc., has swung from an open-ended
order on the Clearance Box Assets -- where the parties would
"work cooperatively" to determine the precise remedy -- to one
that seeks an open-and-shut remedy of $869 million in damages,
plus interest.

Unlike his Proposed Order, the LBI Trustee is now at least
offering precision in what he proposes, Jonathan D. Schiller,
Esq., at Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, in New York, points out.
However, the LBI Trustee's proposal is an effort to evade his
obligation to deliver what the Sale Order and the Court's Opinion
entitle Barclays to receive, which is precisely what Barclays
demanded in its now-granted motion: "Whatever Clearance Box
Assets Have Not Yet Been Delivered," Mr. Schiller notes.

Barclays argues that the LBI Trustee is asking the Court to
ignore the important details that have to be resolved in
implementing its Feb. 22 decision on the Margin Assets.  "Those
Margin Assets," Mr. Schiller says, "were the security for more
than $1 billion of exchange traded derivatives liabilities."
Barclays believes it acquired those liabilities solely because
they were a lien on, and hence inextricably linked to, the Margin
Assets.  "Now that the Court has rejected the Barclays claim to
the Margin Assets or at least to the cash Margin Assets, Barclays
is entitled to an offset in the amount of those assumed ETD
liabilities," Mr. Schiller asserts.

Barclays further asserts that it is entitled to a court order
that makes clear that the LBI Trustee is not seeking the return
of Margin Assets that Barclays never actually received, because
they were used to satisfy liabilities at exchanges that were owed
on behalf of LBI's futures customers.

The "cash" issue was clearly central to the Court's analysis, and
there should be no dispute that $1.5 billion of the Margin Assets
were not cash or "cash equivalents," Mr. Schiller points out.
Barclays asserts that it is entitled to ensure that the Feb. 22
Order is clear on that issue.

Barclays asks Judge Peck to reject the LBI Trustee's efforts to
improve upon the Feb. 22 Court decision on the Margin Assets,
first through his unwarranted claim for prejudgment interest of
9%, and second through his strategic effort to amend the
Opinion's discussion of the "asset scramble."

Given that the LBI Trustee executed a written agreement in which
he promised Barclays "all margin deposits," Barclays clearly
acted in good faith in believing that it had, in fact, been
promised those deposits, Mr. Schiller tells the Court.  While the
LBI Trustee may have succeeded in disavowing that promise, the
case law does not support his desire to go the extra step of
adding prejudgment interest -- especially not at a rate vastly
higher than what he could have earned on those margin deposits
had they not been delivered to Barclays, Mr. Schiller argues.
Likewise, there is no justification for the LBI Trustee's request
that the Court remove from the Opinion an assertion made
repeatedly by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., the Trustee's co-
movant and the principal seller under the Asset Purchase
Agreement, that the Margin Assets were promised to Barclays as
part of the so-called "asset scramble," Mr. Schiller adds.  While
Barclays has always asserted that the Margin Assets were
understood to be part of the Lehman broker unit sale from the
beginning of the week of the sale, LBHI asserted that they were
added in the "asset scramble."

The Court made its finding and the LBI Trustee should not be
permitted to amend that finding, absent an equal opportunity for
Barclays to seek amendments to the Opinion, Barclays asserts.

In sum, Barclays seeks court orders that will provide precision
on the relief both the LBI Trustee and Barclays are entitled to
receive, so as to avoid future disputes that will obviously arise
if the LBI Trustee's Proposed Orders are adopted, Mr. Schiller
says in court papers.

               Barclays Not Entitled to Delivery of
             Clearance Box Assets, LBI Trustee Argues

Barclays is not entitled to the delivery of the clearance box
assets and the Court should reject Barclays' attempt to undo the
ruling that Margin Assets were excluded from the Sale, the LBI
Trustee asserts.

In seeking delivery of the clearance box assets now, Barclays is
seeking seeks the best of all worlds -- to reap the reward of
ownership without having borne the downside risk, William R.
Maguire, Esq., at Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, in New York,
contends, on behalf of the LBI Trustee.

Barclays is not entitled to a windfall at the expense of the LBI
estate, Mr. Maguire argues.  "The extraordinary remedy of
specific performance is not appropriate here, and, as Barclays
itself proved at the evidentiary hearing, it has an adequate
remedy at law: $869 million in damages plus interest."

Mr. Maguire also asserts, among other things, that Barclays is
not entitled to any Lehman margin assets beyond the $2 billion of
margin that it admitted was owed to futures customers.  He points
out that the LBI Trustee has discovered that Barclays actually
received in excess of $2.8 billion of futures margin.  Barclays
has admitted that it assumed just $2 billion in liabilities to
LBI futures customers; thus, the LBI Trustee asserts, Barclays is
entitled to retain the $2 billion needed to repay customers but
must, under the Court's Opinion, return the $800 million excess
to the Trustee.

The LBI Trustee asks the Court to enter a final order stating
that:

   i. Barclays has no entitlement to, or interest in any of,
      Lehman's Margin Assets, whether they are in the form of
      cash, government securities, or other cash equivalents;

  ii. Barclays will pay the LBI Trustee the full amount of all
      Margin Assets that were transferred to Barclays, whether
      those Margin Assets are in the form of cash, government
      securities, or other cash equivalents;

iii. Barclays will pay to the LBI Trustee prejudgment interest
      on the Margin Assets that were transferred to Barclays at
      a rate of nine percent per annum from September 22, 2008
      or other date as the Court may deem proper;

  iv. The Margin Assets, whether in the form of cash, government
      securities or other cash equivalents, were not included in
      the Sept. 2008 "asset scramble;"

   v. The LBI Trustee will pay to Barclays money damages in the
      amount of $869 million for the undelivered Clearance Box
      Assets;

  vi. The LBI Trustee will pay to Barclays prejudgment interest
      on the $869 million in damages for the undelivered
      Clearance Box Assets at a rate of nine percent per annum
      from September 22, 2008 or other date as the Court may
      deem proper; and

vii. Barclays does not have an unconditional right to the Rule
      15c3-3 Assets.

filed a declaration for the purpose of introducing copies of
documents that may be considered in connection with the LBI
Trustee's memorandum.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Proposes Urbanism Sharing Agreement
----------------------------------------------------
On November 17, 2005, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Gables
Marquis, L.L.C., entered into a construction loan agreement,
pursuant to which LBHI agreed to make a loan to Gables Marquis
for the construction of a condominium project.  Gables defaulted
on the Gables Loan, and LBHI has declared the full amount
remaining due under the Gables Loan due and payable.

In February 2008, Urbanism-Coral Way, LLC, the initial seller of
the land to Gables Marquis, filed a lawsuit against Gables
Marquis and LBHI in the Florida State Court alleging that, among
other things, Gables Marquis owes Urbanism a payment of $1
million as deferred purchase price for the land.  Urbanism sought
to establish and foreclose upon a priority equitable lien, in the
amount of $1 million, against certain condominium units in the
Gables Project.  Soon thereafter, LBHI filed a separate action
against Gables Marquis, Urbanism and other parties-in-interest in
the Florida State Court seeking to foreclose on its mortgage
against the Gables Project.  The Foreclosure Action currently is
pending.

Prior to the Petition Date, LBHI and Urbanism resolved their
issues by executing a settlement agreement.  LBHI agreed to pay
Urbanism $150,000, and Urbanism agreed to withdraw the Urbanism
Litigation with prejudice and consent to the Foreclosure Action.
As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Parties agreed to enter
into a sharing agreement to share the net proceeds of sales of
certain condominium units to the extent the buyers of the units
were procured by Urbanism.  Before the Petition Date, LBHI made
the Settlement Payment, Urbanism withdrew the Urbanism Litigation
with prejudice, and Urbanism filed a notice of consent to the
Foreclosure Action.  Although the Parties had finalized the terms
of an initial sharing agreement, they did not execute the Initial
Sharing Agreement prepetition.

Since the Petition Date, LBHI has continued to prosecute the
Foreclosure Action.  Urbanism has alleged that LBHI has defaulted
on the Settlement Agreement by failing to execute the Initial
Sharing Agreement and has sought to withdraw its consent to the
Foreclosure Action.  Urbanism has also filed a motion in the
Foreclosure Action to impose an equitable lien, for $150,000,
based on an alleged failure of LBHI to close a sale of a
condominium unit to a potential purchaser procured by Urbanism.
LBHI has challenged the merits of these filings.

LBHI and Urbanism have agreed to a settlement of their dispute,
which is to be effected primarily through LBHI's assumption of
the Settlement Agreement.  To cure the default under the
Settlement Agreement, LBHI proposes to enter into a revised
version of the Initial Sharing Agreement with Urbanism.
Consistent with its approach to dealing with foreclosures, LBHI
proposes to assign its interests in the Agreements as well as the
expected foreclosure judgment to FL 3232 Coral Way LLC, a non-
debtor special purpose entity wholly owned indirectly by LBHI.

Urbanism has alleged that the Gables Project is encroaching on
land owned by Urbanism.  The Alleged Encroachment dispute is
currently between Urbanism and the Gables Receiver.  If Coral Way
takes title to the Gables Project, however, it may need to
resolve the Alleged Encroachment.

By this Motion, LBHI seeks authority to:

  (a) assume the Settlement Agreement and assign its interests
      therein to Coral Way; and

  (b) enter into the Sharing Agreement with Urbanism.

LBHI also seeks authority, if necessary, for LBHI or Coral Way,
as applicable, to resolve the Alleged Encroachment, provided that
any payment by LBHI or Coral Way to resolve the Alleged
Encroachment will be subject to approval from the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors, upon reasonable notice, if the
payment has not been authorized by any other order of the Court.

Given the expense, delay and risks attendant to litigating these
matters, LBHI believes that its proposed transactions represent
its best opportunity to maximize recoveries from its interests in
the Gables Property for its bankruptcy estate and creditors.

                     Proposed Transactions

Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, contends that the Proposed Transactions will (i) enable
LBHI to benefit from the terms of the Settlement Agreement, (ii)
resolve the Urbanism Equitable Liens, and (iii) permit LBHI to
proceed with the Foreclosure Action.

The salient terms of the Proposed Transactions are:

  -- Assumption of the Settlement Agreement;
  -- Entry into the Sharing Agreement;
  -- Transfer of Foreclosure Judgment to Coral Way; and
  -- Assignment of the Agreements to Coral Way.  LBHI will
     assign all of its rights and interests in the Agreements to
     Coral Way.  Upon the assignments, LBHI will be released of
     any and all obligations under the Agreements.

The Court will convene a hearing on June 15, 2011, to consider
the request.  Objections are due on June 8, 2011.

                        Burns Statement

In further support of the request, Craig Burns tells the Court
that, as vice president of LAMCO LLC's Asset Management and
Restructuring Team, one of his primary areas of responsibility is
the liquidation, restructuring and recapitalization of
condominium assets of LBHI and its affiliated debtors.  He
asserts that the Proposed Transactions obviate the need for
continuing litigation between the Parties with respect to the
Foreclosure Action, including matters related to the Gables
Project, the Settlement Agreement, and the Sharing Agreement, and
avoid the costs and risks associated with that litigation.  He
adds that the Proposed Transactions facilitate LBHI's foreclosure
on the Gables Project and its realization of proceeds from
subsequent sales of the commercial units and other condominium
units, which proceeds will be available for distribution to
LBHI's creditors.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Proposes to Sell Mortgage Loans to Metlife Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. asks Judge James Peck of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to approve
an agreement to sell two portfolios of reverse mortgage loans to
MetLife Bank N.A.

Prior to its bankruptcy filing, LBHI acquired fixed and floating
rate reverse home equity conversion mortgage loans from a
subsidiary, Aurora Bank FSB, which the latter previously acquired
from MetLife's "predecessors in interest."  LBHI then sold
participation interests in the loans, which were securitized
pursuant to a Government National Mortgage Association or "Ginnie
Mae" program.

As the issuer of those securitizations, LBHI retains the
obligations to fund additional draws under the reverse mortgages,
to repurchase or satisfy the participation interests in the
loans, among other things.

Pursuant to the agreement, LBHI will sell to MetLife the
unsecuritized balances of the loans currently in the
securitizations.  The proposed deal also calls for the sale of
loans with respect to which the participation interest therein
was repurchased by LBHI as well as those loans with respect to
which the participation interest is repurchased prior to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated under the deal.

LBHI estimates that the purchase price of the assets to be sold
will be approximately $43.415 million.

A copy of the sale agreement will be filed with the Court prior
to the June 15, 2011 hearing on the proposed sale.  The deadline
for filing objections is June 8, 2011.

LEVEL 3: Unit Has Private Offering for $600-Mil. of Sr. Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3 Communications, Inc., announced that Level 3 Escrow, Inc.,
its newly formed, indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, has agreed to
sell $600 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.125% Senior
Notes due 2019 in a private offering to "qualified institutional
buyers," as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and non-U.S. persons outside the United States under
Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  The new 8.125%
Senior Notes due 2019 were priced to investors at 99.264% of their
principal amount and will mature on July 1, 2019.

The gross proceeds from the offering of the notes will be
deposited into a segregated escrow account until the date on which
certain escrow conditions, including, but not limited to, the
substantially concurrent consummation of the acquisition by Level
3 of Global Crossing Limited and the assumption of the notes by
Level 3 Financing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Level 3 and
the direct parent company of Level 3 Escrow, are satisfied.  If
the escrow conditions are not satisfied on or before April 10,
2012 (or any earlier date on which Level 3 determines that any of
such escrow conditions cannot be satisfied), Level 3 Escrow will
be required to redeem the notes.

Following the release of the escrowed funds in connection with the
assumption of the notes by Level 3 Financing, the net proceeds
from the offering of the notes will be used to refinance certain
existing indebtedness of Global Crossing, including fees and
premiums, in connection with the closing of Level 3's proposed
acquisition of Global Crossing.  The gross proceeds from the
offering will reduce the outstanding bridge commitment Level 3 has
in place with certain financial institutions in connection with
refinancing certain Global Crossing indebtedness.

The offering is expected to be completed on June 9, 2011, subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

The notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933
or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be
offered or sold except pursuant to an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and
applicable state securities laws.

LONG RAP: Suit vs. Officers and Directors Goes to Trial
-------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge S. Martin Teel, Jr., denied the motion of three
of the defendants in the adversary proceeding, Long Rap, Inc., et
al., v. Factor 10 LLC, et al., Case No. 09-00913 (Bankr. D. D.C.).
Defendants Yussuff, Thompson, and Stello sought summary judgment
on the basis that they were not directors -- a capacity in which
they were sued.  One of these defendants was sued also as an
officer, but the motion does not address his liability as an
officer.  One of the oppositions to the motion attaches two
Unanimous Written Consents relating to the Debtor. One is signed
by shareholders and appoints the three defendants and others as
directors.  The other purports to have been signed by the "Board
of Directors" with these defendants' signatures -- and signatures
of others -- appearing under that designation.  According to Judge
Teel, these documents -- if treated as admissible -- would suffice
to create a genuine issue of fact as to whether the defendants
were directors.  A copy of Judge Teel's May 12, 2011 Memorandum
Decision is available at http://is.gd/0gzqrWfrom Leagle.com.

LOOP CORP: Case Dismissed for Bad Faith Filing
----------------------------------------------
The Hon. Bruce W. Black of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois dismissed that Chapter 11 case of
Loop Corp.  Creditor Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, sought the
dismissal, citing that the case was filed in "bad faith".

Wells Fargo also noted that according to the Debtor's schedules,
its assets exceed its liabilities by more than $43 million.  The
Debtor, therefore, can more than adequately pay its debts
including Wachovia's more than $4.3 million judgment.

Loop Corp. in Chicago, Illinois, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 11-17917) on April 27, 2011, Judge
Bruce W. Black presiding.  John M. Holowach, Esq., at Holowach &

MADISON HOTEL: Bankruptcy Filing Stays MAve Hotel Sale
------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Fung at Crain's New York Business reports that the
foreclosure auction for a piece of the debt on a new Manhat tan
boutique hotel in the Flatiron District was postponed.

The move came in the wake of the developers of the property, known
as the MAve Hotel, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  Madison
Hotel Owners filed for reorganization, citing total liabilities of
$9.3 million.

Joseph Ben Moha, owner of Roxy Deli, and Benzion Suky, a principal
at Livorno Properties, are reportedly behind Madison Hotel Owners.

According to Crain's, the defaulted mezzanine debt on MAve Hotel
was supposed to be publicly auctioned off in front of the New York
Supreme Court.  A number of qualified bidders showed interest in
the auction.  At the last minute, the seller, whose name could not
be immediately determined, decided to postpone the sale for 45
days due to the last-minute bankruptcy filing.  The face value of
the debt was $5 million.

MAve Hotel, located at 62 Madison Ave., is a newly renovated 72-
room hotel near Madison Square Park.  The developers, who
purchased the property in 2008 for $32 million, defaulted on their
$30 million first mortgage and $5 million mezzanine loan two years
ago, according to published reports.

Under a court-appointed receiver, the hotel was completed and
renovated in 2009.  According to Savills' marketing materials for
the auction, the hotel generated net operating income of about
$1.9 million last year, relates Ms. Fung.

Based in New York, Madison Hotel Owners LLC filed a Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-12334) on May 16,
2011.  Mark A. Frankel, Esq., at Backenroth Frankel & Krinsky LLP
represents the Debtor.  The Debtor disclosed $7,750,000 in assets,
and $9,340,000 in debts as of the Chapter 11 filing.

MARIA VISTA: Dismissal of Suit v. San Luis Obispo Affirmed
----------------------------------------------------------
The Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Six,
affirmed a lower court judgment dismissing the lawsuit commenced
by Maria Vista Estates, a California general partnership --
through Erik Benham, its successor-in-interest -- and Erik Benham,
as an individual, against San Luis Obispo County and its
employees, Daniel Colin Erdman and Richard Edward Marshall, after
sustaining a demurrer to the third amended complaint.  The
complaint contains six related actions, including four civil
rights actions (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983) which allege that the San
Luis Obispo et al. violated Maria Vista's rights to procedural and
substantive due process, equal protection, and free speech by
impeding the progress of Maria Vista's residential development
project.  Maria Vista contends that the court erred in concluding
that the complaint fails to state any valid section 1983 action
and that the statute of limitations bars the due process claims.

The case is Maria Vista Estates et al., v. San Luis Obispo County
et al., 2d Civil No. B209434 (Calif. App. Ct.).  A copy of the
appellate court's decision dated May 16, 2011, is available at

Roundy, owner of Maine Coast Airways, was convicted in a jury
trial in federal court in Portland.  He could be sentenced to up
to five years in federal prison and fined up to $250,000.
Mr. Roundy and his wife, Jane Theberge, filed a petition for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in 2005.  Mr. Roundy was accused

-----------------------------------------------------
The Merit Group Inc. estimates that there are roughly 1,160
creditors excluding current and former employees and parties in
interest in the Chapter 11 cases, many of which may file proofs of

burdensome for the Clerk of Court.  In this regard, The Merit
Group and its debtor-affiliates sought and obtained Bankruptcy
Court approval to employ Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as their
claims, noticing and balloting agent.

Prior to the petition date, the Debtors paid KCC a $25,000
retainer.

Albert Kass, vice president of Corporate Restructuring Services at
KCC, attests that the firm neither holds nor represents an
interest materially adverse to the Debtors' estates, and is a

MERIT GROUP: Asks Court to Approve Alvarez & Marsal Hiring
----------------------------------------------------------
The Merit Group Inc. asks the Bankruptcy Court to bless its
engagement of Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC, as the Debtors'
financial advisors.

A&M was initially engaged on Nov. 29, 2010, to provide financial
advisory services to the Debtor in connection with its liquidity,
business plan and cash initiatives.  On April 28, 2011, A&M was
re-engaged to provide a new engagement team to continue with the
services of the Prior Engagement as well as assist the Debtors
with the preparation of the Chapter 11 cases.

A&M will provide assistance to the Debtors with respect to
management of the overall restructuring process, the development
of ongoing business and financial plans and supporting
restructuring negotiations among the Debtors, their advisors and
their creditors with respect to an overall exit strategy for their
Chapter 11 Cases.

The Debtors have chosen Morgan Joseph LLC to act as its investment
banker.  A&M will work closely with Morgan Joseph to prevent any
duplication of efforts in the course of advising the Debtors.

A&M managing director Jonathan C. Hickman affirms that A&M: (i)
has no connection with the Debtors, their creditors, other parties
in interest, or their attorneys or accountants, or the United
States Trustee or any person employed in the Office of the United
States Trustee; (ii) does not hold any interest adverse to the
Debtors' estates; and (iii) believes it is a "disinterested
person" as defined by section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

A&M's hourly billing rates are:

          Managing Director        $600-$850
          Director                 $450-$625
          Associate                $300-$450
          Analyst                  $225-$300

The parties also agreed to indemnification provisions.

A&M received $10,000 as retainer in connection with a prior
engagement where the Company was engaged to provide advisory
services.  In the 90 days prior to the Petition Date, A&M received
retainers and payments totaling $295,443.18.  A&M has applied
these funds to amounts due for services rendered and expenses
incurred prior to the Petition Date.  The unapplied residual
retainer, which is estimated to total $10,000, will not be
segregated by A&M in a separate account, and will be held until
the end of the Chapter 11 cases and applied to A&M's finally
approved fees in these proceedings.

A&M received $100,000 as retainer in connection with the current
engagement where the Company was re-engaged to provide a new
engagement team to continue the services of the Prior Engagement
as well as assist the Debtors with the preparation of the Chapter
11 cases.  In the 90 days prior to the Petition Date, A&M received
retainers and payments totaling $330,321.79 in aggregate for these
services performed for the Debtors.  A&M has applied these funds
to amounts due for services rendered and expenses incurred prior
to the Petition Date.

The unapplied residual retainer, which is estimated to total
approximately $100,000, will not be segregated by A&M in a
separate account, and will be held until the end of
these Chapter 11 cases and applied to A&M's finally approved fees
in these proceedings.

MIDWEST FAMILY: Moody's Affirms Ratings on Housing Revenue Bonds
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's affirms the ratings assigned to the Midwest Family Housing
LLC Military Housing Taxable Revenue Bonds (Navy Midwest Housing
Privatization Project) 2006 Series A Class I at Baa3; Class II at
Ba3; Class III at B3; & Class IV at B3. The outlook assigned to
the Bonds has been revised to stable.

RATING RATIONALE

The affirmation on the Bonds and change in outlook reflects the
improving performance of the overall project.

CREDIT DISCUSSION:

CREDIT STRENGTHS

   -- The Project has shown growth in occupancy.

   -- Increase in BAH for 2011

   -- Improvement in debt service coverage.

   -- Funds in the Construction Fund are available to pay debt
      service through the end of IDP.

CREDIT CHALLENGES

   -- The deterioration of the credit quality of the debt service
      reserve fund provided by mean of surety has diminished
      management's ability to potentially address unforeseen
      problems such as decline in net operating income in periods
      of economic downturns, increased competition from outside of
      the gate housing or as a result of military deployments or
      restructurings.

   -- Construction completion is highly dependent on the sale of
      several parcels of land.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The increase in 2010 BAH rate together with a decrease in expenses
resulted in 1.15x overall debt service coverage for the 2010. The
2010 BAH increase was 1.53% and increases to 6.36% in 2011. Debt
service coverage for each class is as follows: Class I 2.47x;
Class II 1.58x; Class III 1.20x and Class IV 1.15x. Coverage based
on MADS increased to 1.12x.

Outlook

The outlook on the Bonds is stable.

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING UP

   -- Increases in the project revenue that result in higher debt
      service coverage levels over a period of several years.

   -- Replacement of the debt service reserve surety bond with
      cash or an appropriate rated surety provider.

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING DOWN

   -- Significant decline in BAH levels or a long period of no
      growth.

   -- Further declines in debt service coverage resulting from
      reductions in occupancy or increases in expenses.

   -- Uncertainty of future financial performance and with
      completion of IDP.

METHODOLOGY

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Housing
Projects published in July 2010.

NEW ORLEANS AUCTION: Wins Approval of $500,000 Funding
------------------------------------------------------
Roland Arkell at Antiques Trade Gazette reports that New Orleans
Auction Galleries last month obtained approval from the bankruptcy
judge of a financing arrangement that allows local firm
Aschaffenburg Assets to loan $500,000 of the funds to enable the
reorganization to proceed and, according to the auctioneer's
lawyers, ensure all the vendors are paid in full.

The report relates the court was told in April that NOAG needed
$562,334 to satisfy the immediate claims of around 200 unpaid
vendors, with total liabilities reported at close to $4 million.
The largest creditor is Texas dealer Susan D. Krohn, the owner of
Cakebread Art Antiques Collectibles of Houston, who is owed $2
million.  Other outstanding invoices include $143,445 to Rare Art
Inc. in New York; $85,862 to First Bank and Trust Visa in New
Orleans and $61,000 to MPress, a New Orleans printing company.

The judge, according to the Gazette, also approved an order
mandating that all funds received by the auction house be kept in
three separate accounts: one for company funds money; one for
funds from the sale of inventory pledged by the auctioneers to
their bank as collateral for a loan; and one for all funds
realised from consigned goods.

Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, New Orlean Auction Galleries Inc.
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 1, 2011
(Bankr. E.D. La. Case No. 11-11068).  Judge Elizabeth W. Magner
presides over the case.  Stewart F. Peck, Esq., Christopher T.
Caplinger, Esq., and Joseph Patrick Briggett, Esq., at Lugenbuhl

selected Pontchartrain Financial LLC as financial advisor, and
Patrick Gros CPA as accountant.  The Debtor estimated assets of

NEXITY FINANCIAL: Wants Case Converted to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Nexity Financial Corp. gave up hope of reorganizing
now that the bank subsidiary has been taken over by regulators and
sold.  Nexity filed a motion in May for conversion of the Chapter
11 case to a liquidation in Chapter 7.  A hearing on the motion
will be held June 29.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that before the Chapter 11 filing in July
2010, the Nexity holding company had worked out a prepackaged plan
that had been accepted by holders of 96% of the $22 million in
trust preferred securities who voted.  Winning court approval and
implementing the plan required raising $175 million through a
private placement.  Nexity explained how the inability to raise
the required new capital led regulators to take over Nexity Bank
in April.  The remaining assets consist of $812,000 cash, the
court filing said. A Chapter 11 plan is no longer feasible, the
company said.

                   About Nexity Financial

Nexity Financial Corporation -- http://www.nexitybank.com/--
provides capital and support services for community banks.  Its
bank subsidiary, Nexity Bank, is operating under a cease and
desist order issued by regulators.  Birmingham, Alabama-based
Nexity had net losses of $26 million in 2009 and $13 million in
2008.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Case No. 10-12293) on July 22, 2010.  Drew G. Sloan, Esq.;
Mark D. Collins, Esq.; and Michael Joseph Merchant, Esq., at
Richards Layton & Finger, assist the Company in its restructuring
effort.  The Company estimated its assets and debts at $10 million
to $50 million as of the Petition Date.

The U.S. Trustee did not establish an Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors due to insufficient interest.

$313.35 million of net revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $12.61 million on $251.97 million of
net revenue during the prior year.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 30, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Nexstar Broadcasting Group to 'B' from 'B-'.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating reflects S&P's expectation that
Nexstar's core ad revenue will continue growing modestly in 2010
and 2011," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Deborah Kinzer.
The EBITDA growth resulting from the rebound in core advertising,
combined with political ad revenue from the 2010 midterm
elections, should, in S&P's view, enable Nexstar to reduce its
leverage significantly by the end of the year.


NEXTMART INC: Posts $164,600 Net Loss in Q2 Ended March 31
----------------------------------------------------------
NextMart, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting

in total assets, $3.1 million in total liabilities, and a

about NextMart, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern,
following the Company's results for the fiscal year ended

NJ AFFORDABLE HOMES: Court Refuses to Halt Suit v. Otlowski
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Donald H. Steckroth denied the request of George
J. Otlowski, Jr., to enjoin prosecution of an adversary proceeding
against him pursuant to Sections 362(a)(1) and 105(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  Mr. Otlowski alleges continuing prosecution
threatens the administration of the NJ Affordable Homes Corp.
bankruptcy estate.  Mr. Otlowski argues that if he is forced to
tender the defense to his liability insurers, it will provide
grounds for termination of the Trustee Settlement Agreement
approved by the Court.  The TSA provides for the payment of
substantial sums by the insurers to the Trustee.  The Plaintiffs,
Donald and Patricia McHugh respond by asserting that: (1) they did
not release their claims under the TSA and therefore no basis
exists to deprive their right to seek recovery from Mr. Otlowski,
a non-debtor party; (2) the fact that Mr. Otlowski has settled
claims with the Trustee does not prevent the Plaintiffs from
prosecuting their independent claim against him; and (3) Mr.
Otlowski neither provides evidence to support his assertion that
the action threatens the viability of the TSA nor that the TSA is
even relevant to the proceeding as the Plaintiffs were not
signatories to that agreement.

In his Letter Opinion dated May 11, 2011, Judge Steckroth said he
is not convinced that allowing the litigation to proceed will
significantly affect the administration of the bankruptcy case.

The case is McHugh, et al. v. Otlowski et al., Adv. Proc. No.
10-02348 (Bankr. D. N.J.).  A copy of Judge Steckroth's opinion is
available at http://is.gd/IejcPtfrom Leagle.com.

                     About NJ Affordable Homes

Headquartered in Woodbridge, New Jersey, NJ Affordable Homes Corp.
was a real estate investment company that purports to use
investors' monies to purchase residential and commercial property,
renovate the property, and sell the property at a profit.

On Sept. 12, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
sought and obtained from the U.S. District Court for the District
of New Jersey a temporary restraining order that, among other
things, froze the assets of NJ Affordable Homes Corp. and Wayne
Puff and appointed a temporary receiver over the assets of NJAH.
The SEC alleged that "from at least 1999 to the present, the
defendants sold, in unregistered offerings, at least $40 million
in notes to more than 490 investors located throughout the United
States in connection with their participation in a Ponzi scheme."

The District Court appointed Nicholas H. Politan, a former federal
judge, as the receiver for NJAH.  On Nov. 17, 2005, the Court
authorized the receiver to file a chapter 7 petition (Bankr. D.
N.J. Case No. 05-60442) on behalf of NJAH.  Mr. Forman was then
appointed by the United States Trustees Office, a branch of the
U.S. Department of Justice, as the chapter 7 Trustee for NJAH's
bankruptcy estate.  The U.S. Bankruptcy Court granted the
Trustee's motion to sell all 340 properties owned and controlled
by NJAH in a real estate auction to be conduced by Sheldon Good &
Company Auctions NorthEast in conjunction with DJM Realty.

NORANDA ALUMINUM: S&P Raises CCR to 'B+'; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate
credit rating on Noranda Aluminum Holding Corp. to 'B+' from 'B'.
The outlook is stable.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's raised its issue-level rating
on subsidiary Noranda Aluminum Acquisition Corp.'s senior secured
credit facilities to 'BB' (two notches above the corporate credit
rating) from 'B+' and the recovery rating on the facility to '1',
indicating the expectation of very high (90% to 100%) recovery in
the event of a payment default, from '2'.

Standard & Poor's also raised the issue-level rating on Noranda
Aluminum Acquisition Corp.'s senior unsecured notes due 2015 to
'B' (one notch below the corporate credit rating) from 'CCC+' and
revised the recovery rating to '5', indicating the expectation of
modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the event of a payment default,
from '6'.

"The corporate credit upgrade reflects our expectation that higher
aluminum prices and continued recovery in end-market demand will
likely result in a further improvement in Noranda's operating
performance in the next year," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Fred Ferraro. The upgrade also acknowledges
the significant debt reduction that the company has achieved.

"The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation that Noranda's
operating performance over the next 12 months will continue to
modestly improve as a consequence of a gradual recovery in end-
market demand," Mr. Ferraro added.

The ratings on Franklin, Tenn.-based Noranda reflect the company's
limited operating diversity, its exposure to the highly cyclical
aluminum industry, its relatively high cost position (absent
earnings credits from bauxite and alumina sales), and its
significant overall financial risk profile in Standard & Poor's
assessment. Still, the ratings reflect the improvement in aluminum
prices and demand compared with 2009 and early 2010 as well as the
company's more manageable balance sheet, largely attributed to
Noranda's equity offerings and value realized from unwinding of
its aluminum hedges.

Noranda, a primary aluminum producer with downstream operations,
has a vertically integrated upstream segment which can account for
more than 80% of EBITDA. However, this segment operates only one
smelter, thus highlighting the risk associated with the company's
limited operating diversity, as any disruption has the potential
to severely affect overall financial results.


NURSERYMEN'S EXCHANGE: To Sell Some Properties to Pay Off Debt
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nurserymen's Exchange Inc., a large wholesaler of BloomRite brand
plants that has sought bankruptcy protection, has plans to sell
some of its land so it can pay down its debt.

Clay Lambert at Half Moon Bay Review reports that Nurserymen's
Exchange is selling a 28-acre swath of land zoned for residential
development to an unnamed Bay Area company.

Chief Executive Officer Jack Pearlstein said the Debtor has
secured a $5 million loan to continue operations and that
employees and customers should see no immediate change in those
operations.

The land sale, according to Half Moon Bay Review, would put the
Company in a better position to pay creditors, and company counsel
Don Mendel said the land -- which had once been used as a driving
range -- had long been considered a strategic asset.  Since 1985,
the Company has been paying an assessment that would allow for 79
sewer connections if the land were ever developed.  Those rights
are now transferable to the new owner.

The Company said they had been in discussions with other companies
in the horticultural industry and that there was interest in
buying Nurserymen's.  Money to pay the Company's debts could also
come from a financial firm with no ties to agriculture.

The Company also announced that the Salinas regional entity of the
California Agricultural Labor Relations Board has petitioned the
statewide board to dismiss an election petition from the United
Farm Workers of America labor union.  The latest turn concerns
whether the Company was at 50% of peak employment at the time of a
vote by the Company's current and laid-off employees that
indicated support for union representation.

Half Moon Bay, California-based Nurserymen's Exchange is a family-
owned broker between growers and retail outlets.  Founded in 1941,
Nurserymen's has long been among the Coastside's biggest
employers.

Nurserymen's Exchange filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D.
Calif. Case No. 11-31985) in San Francisco, California, on May 23,
2011.  Stephen D. Finestone, Esq., in San Francisco, serves as
counsel to the Debtor.  Omni Management Group, LLC, is the claims
and notice agent.  C&A, Inc., serves as financial advisor.  The
Debtor disclosed $34,755,036 in assets and $24,772,945 in
liabilities in its schedules.


OPUS WEST: Settles Suit Over Siphoned Earnings
----------------------------------------------
Christa Meland at TwinCities Business reports that Opus
Corporation settled a lawsuit brought by subsidiary Opus West,
which claimed that it siphoned vast portions of Opus West earnings
and kept the subsidiary in a constant state of financial
dependency that ultimately led to bankruptcy.

The case, which dates back to 2009, was officially dismissed
April 29.  The parties aren't revealing the terms of the
settlement.  But the Star Tribune, citing "two people familiar
with the case," said that they secretly settled last month in
Dallas for $45 million.  The case was set to go to trial within a
matter of days.

According to the report, about one-third of the settlement -- or
$15 million -- will go to lawyers, the sources told the
Minneapolis newspaper.  Most of the remaining $30 million will
reportedly go to the two largest creditors in Phoenix-based Opus
West's bankruptcy case: Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank.  The
two banks were collectively owed more than $260 million.

Approximately $3 million will be shared by about 150 Opus West
employees who lost their jobs when the subsidiary filed for
bankruptcy in 2009, according to the unnamed sources.

Opus West's lawsuit claimed that Minnetonka-based Opus Corporation
routinely engaged in "self-dealing transactions, blindly siphoning
tens of millions of dollars that left Opus West with almost non-
existent levels of working capital..."

According to the suit, 10% of Opus West's pretax income went to
charity-and three-quarters of the subsidiary's remaining income
went to Opus Corporation. Opus Corporation and its executives knew
that the payments were leaving Opus West "chronically
undercapitalized," according to Opus West's complaint.

PRINCETON COMMUNITY: S&P Raises Rating on Revenue Bonds From 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating to 'BBB-'
from 'BB' on Princeton, W.Va.'s series 1993 and 1999 revenue
bonds, issued for Princeton Community Hospital (PCH).

"The upgrade reflects our assessment of PCH's sustained
improvement in operating results and cash flow over the past
several years that has contributed to improved balance sheet
metrics that are more consistent with an investment-grade rating,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephen
Infranco.

In addition, fiscal 2010 results were in line with management's
expectations despite some underlying business volume pressure and
reduction in net patient revenue. Management responded by
implementing cost-containment initiatives that have offset the
reduced revenue with reductions in operating expenses. Through the
nine-month interim period ended March 31, 2011, business volume,
particularly admissions, are up significantly compared with the
previous year's results and are more in line with historical
trends and budgeted expectations, driving an operating margin of
roughly 4%.

The 'BBB-' rating further reflects Standard & Poor's view of
PCH's:

    * Relatively stable and leading market share;

    * Good operating performance with an operating surplus for the
      nine month interim period ended March 31, 2011, which is
      significantly better than budget and prior-year results; and

    * Strong balance sheet for the rating, characterized by good
      liquidity and moderate leverage as of March 31, 2011,
      coupled with an all fixed-rate debt profile.

Partly offsetting credit trends include what Standard & Poor's
considers:

    * Weak demographic factors, including a declining population
      base and below-average income levels;

    * Some underlying pressure on business volume, particularly in
      fiscal 2010, partly due to unfavorable economic conditions,
      historically weak demographic factors, and some physician
      recruitment needs; and

    * A high Medicaid population which when combined with the
      Medicare and self-pay population, constrains revenue growth.

The outlook is stable based on Standard & Poor's assessment of
PCH's sustained improvement in operations, cash flow, and
liquidity, allowing for greater flexibility to handle operating
stress at the current rating level. Standard & Poor's expects
capital needs to be manageable and within the hospital's
ability to finance with internally generated cash flow.
Consideration for a positive outlook or higher rating would be
possible if PCH could demonstrate more consistency in business
volumes, especially given the weaker demographics of the service
area, accompanied by sustained improvement in liquidity and
leverage metrics. While not expected, a substantial decline in
operating income or balance sheet strength could pressure the
rating, as could an unexpected and large capital program or
related debt issuance.

A revenue pledge of PCH secures the bonds.


PROSPERITY PARK: Court Rejects Plan & Allows Bank to Foreclose
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge J. Craig Whitley denied confirmation of
Prosperity Park, LLC's First Amended Disclosure Statement and Plan
of Reorganization and instead granted a request by Fifth Third
Bank for relief from the automatic stay to proceed with all of its
rights and remedies in, against, and to the Debtor's real
property.  The Court held that the Debtor's Plan does not meet the
requirements of confirmation under Section 1129(a) and Section
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  A copy of Judge Whitley's May 17,
2011 Order is available at http://is.gd/ROVydifrom Leagle.com.

Prosperity Park owns six pad sites on Prosperity Church Road in
northern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.  Five of the sites
have an allowable building square footage of 6,000 square feet and
the sixth pad site has an allowable building square footage of
19,236 square feet.

The Bank is the holder of a Deed of Trust executed by the Debtor
and Charles Lindsay McAlpine for the benefit of the Bank dated
Jan. 8, 2002 and encumbers the Real Property.  The Deed of Trust
serves as security for a Promissory Note dated Jan. 8, 2002
executed by the Debtor for the benefit of the Bank in the original
amount of $1,900,000.

Prosperity Park filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D.N.C.

PARKER BUILDING: To Convert Some Units to Apartments, Condos
------------------------------------------------------------

Parker Building LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. N.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-11685) in Albany, New York, on

case.  Richard H. Weiskopf, Esq., at O'Connell & Aronowitz,

owed $669,000; and First Niagara Bank, owed $306,000.  Christopher
Myers, managing member of the Debtor, is owed nearly $215,000.


PLAINFIELD APARTMENT: Sells Nine Properties for Under $16 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Spivey at MyCentralJersey.com reports that nine Plainfield
apartment properties on which a $17 million loan was taken out
in 2007 were recently sold at an auction for a little under
$16 million.  All nine properties formerly were managed by
Connolly Properties Inc., a real estate firm that once oversaw
about 60 properties in five municipalities, including nearly 30 in
Plainfield.  Almost all of those properties since have been sold
or lost in bankruptcy or foreclosure.

The report relates that the nine auctioned properties, totaling
nearly 300 housing units, were sold to five different buyers. East
Front Street Towers in the 600 block of East Front Street went for
a winning bid of about $2.3 million to David J. Benoj of Spring
Valley, N.Y.; Viola's Place in the 100 block of Crescent Avenue
went for about $1.3 million to Ali Salma of Saddle River; and
Franklin Arms on Franklin Place went for about $650,000 to
Santoshky N. Rana of Bloomfield, according to the filings.

A Plainfield resident, Anaka C. Mayers of Pemberton Avenue,
submitted winning bids of about $1.6 million and $825,000 for
Columbia Apartments and Cleveland Apartments, respectively; the
two buildings are next to each other in the 100 block of East
Seventh Street.  Columbia Apartments for years housed the Connolly
Properties headquarters and leasing office before the company
moved out in 2010, note Mr. Spivey.

Spencer Savings Bank, the bank that held the mortgages on all nine
properties, bought back the four remaining auction properties,
including Town & Country on West Seventh Street (with a high bid
of $3.1 million), Joyce Gardens on Clinton Avenue ($2.9 million),
Apex Apartments on Crescent Avenue ($1.7 million) and 9-23 Madison
Avenue Apartments ($1.6 million).

                           Pending Sales

According to the Asbury Park Press, in other developments
discussed in court, Trenk announced on behalf of Connolly
Properties officials that plans are proceeding to sell four
company-managed buildings in East Orange and a fifth, Carteret
Arms, in Trenton.  The two companies that own the five buildings
both filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year.

According to Trenk, a "firm offer" was received for the East
Orange buildings, which total about 270 units.  Six bids for the
properties were received, Trenk said, and the highest, which he
said came in at about $12 million to $12.5 million, is being
targeted for acceptance.  Mark Slama, the attorney representing
the Federal National Mortgage Association, which holds the
mortgage on the buildings, said his client believes the offer
"merits consideration."

Trenk also said, according to the report, that a $125,000
marketing deal has been reached to advertise the sale of Carteret
Arms, the 270-unit, 14-story building that sits blocks away from
the State House near the banks of the Delaware River.  The
national real-estate marketing firm Sheldon Good will receive a 5
percent commission on a sale after it launches an advertising
campaign expected to last 60-75 days that will include
advertisements being placed in the Wall Street Journal, the
Philadelphia Inquirer and other regional media outlets.

Trenk also said that bankruptcy filings are expected to be made
later this month on Grand Court Villas, Livingston Apartments and
Julian Court, three companies that own individual apartment
entities managed by Connolly Properties.  But Connolly Properties
spokesman Ron Simoncini said that despite appearances, the company
is not looking to reduce its portfolio to city apartments alone.

"It would be difficult for us to seem enthusiastic about giving up
any of our properties -- we believe in all of them," the report
quotes Mr. Simoncini as saying.  "But the reality is ... the
intelligent strategy is for us to have some assets.  Which those
are will be based on economic opportunities, and not necessarily
regional preference."

QUIGLEY CO: Pfizer Asks District Judge to Vacate Asbestos Opinion
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Pfizer Inc. is asking U.S. District Judge Richard
Holwell to reverse an opinion he wrote on May 20 concluding that
Pfizer was directly liable for some asbestos claims arising from
products sold by its now non-operating subsidiary Quigley Company
Inc.

According to the report, Pfizer said in an e-mailed statement that
it has never been held liable by any court for claims stemming
from Quigley products.  Quigley has been in Chapter 11
reorganization more than six years.

Pfizer, Mr. Rochelle relates, argues in its motion that Judge
Holwell in New York improperly overruled findings of fact by the
bankruptcy judge in the process of saying that Pfizer wasn't
entitled to use the Quigley bankruptcy court to halt suits against
it for certain claims against the subsidiary.  New York-based
Pfizer also contends Judge Holwell changed the facts, thereby
removing Pfizer from the protection of the bankruptcy court, even
though Pfizer itself isn't in bankruptcy.  Perhaps of most
significance as a precedent for other asbestos bankruptcy cases,
Pfizer argues it was improper to find there was no jurisdiction in
the bankruptcy court to protect Pfizer.  Insurance shared by
Pfizer and Quigley by itself gives the bankruptcy court authority
to stop suits against both companies, Pfizer argues.

                         About Quigley Co.

Quigley Co. was acquired by Pfizer in 1968 and sold small amounts
of products containing asbestos until the early 1970s. In
September 2004, Pfizer and Quigley took steps that were intended
to resolve all pending and future claims against the Company and
Quigley in which the claimants allege personal injury from
exposure to Quigley products containing asbestos, silica or mixed
dust. Quigley filed for bankruptcy in 2004 and has a Chapter 11
plan and a settlement with Chrysler.

Quigley filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sept. 3,
2004 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 04-15739) to implement a proposed
global resolution of all pending and future asbestos-related
personal injury liabilities.

RADIENT PHARMACEUTICALS: Gets Non-Compliance Notice from NYSE
-------------------------------------------------------------
Radient Pharmaceuticals Corporation received a letter dated
May 24, 2011, from NYSE Amex stating that because RPC did not file
its first quarter report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2011, on or before May 23, 2011, RPC is not compliant
with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchange's Company Guide and has
violated its listing agreement with the Exchange, pursuant to
which the Exchange is authorized to suspend and remove RPC's
securities from the Exchange pursuant to Section 1003(d) of the
Company Guide.  Upon the occurrence of such noncompliance, the
Exchange is required to issue a deficiency letter to the subject
issuer and the Exchange rules require the subject issuer to
publicly announce receipt of same.

As RPC publicly announced in its April 21, 2011, press release,
the Exchange's Listing Qualifications Panel decided to grant RPC's
request for additional time (until June 23, 2011) to demonstrate
and regain compliance with the Exchange's continued listing
requirements.  Although the Form 10-Q was not due at the time of
the Panel's decision, the Exchange's Staff is similarly granting
the Company until June 23, 2011, to file the Form 10-Q to
demonstrate compliance with the subject listing standards.  If the
Company fails to regain compliance by such time, the Exchange will
continue with delisting proceedings.  As previously disclosed, the
Company is diligently working toward filing the Form 10-Q on or
before June 7, 2011, however, there can be no assurance that it
will be able to do so.

By filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, on May 25, 2011, RPC satisfied the Panel's
requirement to file such report before the compliance deadline.

REID PARK: Doubletree Hotel Has Cramdown Chapter 11 Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg news, reports
that Reid Park Properties LLC filed together with its Chapter 11
petition a proposed reorganization plan designed for attempted
cramdown on the secured lender identified as Wachovia/Wells Fargo.

According to the report, the Debtor believes its hotel property is
worth $13.5 million.  The lender is owed $26.3 million on a first
mortgage and $3.7 million on a second mortgage.  If the Plan is
approved by the bankruptcy court, $13.5 million of the first
mortgage will be treated as a secured claim and paid over 20 years
at 5 percent interest.  There will be interest only for three
years, with principal amortized on a 30-year schedule.  The
remainder of the first-lien, about $12.9 million, along with the
second lien will be treated as unsecured claims.

The report notes the disclosure statement contains inconsistencies
about the treatment of unsecured claims.  On page 21, it said
unsecured creditors will be paid 1% when the plan is implemented
and 10% of profits over 10 years; while on page 30, it said
unsecured creditors, including the deficiency claims, will receive
5% of profits over five years.

Mr. Rochelle also notes that if the first-lien lender rejects the
plan, the owner will be obliged to invoke the cramdown process if
it's to exit Chapter 11.  Cramdown requires that at least one
class accept.  According to Mr. Rochelle, the Plan, with 21
separate classes, appears designed so at least one will accept.

REITTER CORP: IRS Has Senior Lien Over Receivables
--------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Enrique Lamoutte ruled that Reitter Corporation's
health insurance accounts receivables are a collateral categorized
as an account and not a general intangible under the Puerto Rico
Commercial Transactions Act, 19 L.P.R.A. Sec. 2006, Section
6323(c) of the IRC, 26 U.S.C. Sec. 6323(c) and pertinent

2010.  A copy of the Court's May 13, 2011 Opinion and Order is

RGB RESORT: Given Last Plan 'Exclusivity' Extension
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports RQB Resort LP was granted a third and last extension of
the exclusive right to propose a reorganization plan.  By
direction of the bankruptcy judge on May 27, the new deadline is
Sept. 1.  The resort said it has "identified" several investors
willing to provide capital.

The secured lender Goldman Sachs Mortgage Co. unsuccessfully
objected to the extension.

According to Mr. Rochelle, the bankruptcy court also granted the
resort owner the right until Aug. 26 to use cash representing
collateral for Goldman Sachs' secured claim.

By Sept. 1 the resort will have been in Chapter 11 for 18 months.
Bankruptcy law doesn't permit any further extension of so-called
exclusivity.  After Sept. 1, Goldman Sachs or any other creditor
can file a reorganization plan.

In January the bankruptcy judge in Jacksonville, Florida, ruled in
favor of Goldman Sachs by concluding that the property is worth
$132 million, compared with the $193 million balance on the
lender's mortgage, Mr. Rochelle recounts.  The resort filed a
motion for reconsideration and lost.  In placing a value on the
property, the court adopted the $132 million valuation proposed by
Goldman Sachs's expert.

ROUND TABLE PIZZA: Reorganization Plan Faulted by GECC
------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that General Electric Capital Corp., agent for the secured
lenders, said the reorganization plan proposed by Round Table
Pizza Inc. is "not a viable exit strategy."  Round Table filed a
reorganization plan in late April supported by neither the
official creditors' committee nor the secured lenders. The plan
proposes stretching out the payment on secured debt while existing
shareholders retain their stock and management receives bonuses.
GECC told the bankruptcy judge in Oakland, California, that none
of its interest has been paid since the Chapter 11 filing in
February.  Similarly, Round Table has paid none of the lenders'
professional costs. GECC is objecting to the payment of fees for
Round Table's lawyers unless its counsel is similarly paid. Round
Table has "never seriously considered" a sale, the lenders said.

ROUTE 70: "Collapsing" Doctrine Does Not Apply in Suit v. Bank
--------------------------------------------------------------
Route 70 & Massachusetts, L.L.C., v. The Bank, a commercial bank
chartered in the State of New Jersey, et al., Ad. Proc. No.
09-01473 (Bankr. D. N.J.), seeks, inter alia, to avoid, as a
fraudulent transfer, a mortgage granted from the Debtor to The
Bank.  The crux of the Debtor's claim is that the grant of the
mortgage was a fraudulent transfer because the proceeds of the
associated loan were immediately paid by the Debtor to one of its
founding members.  On Feb. 28, 2007, the Debtor and the Bank
entered into a loan agreement for $6.44 million, of which only
$3 million was advanced to the Debtor at closing.  The loan was
secured by a mortgage on the Debtor's property.  The Debtor's
claim relies on the applicability of a doctrine known as
"collapsing," whereby a court may view multiple transactions as an
integrated whole for the purposes of a fraudulent conveyance
analysis.

In his May 17, 2011 Opinion, Bankruptcy Judge Michael B. Kaplan
determines that the "collapsing" doctrine does not apply on the
facts of this case.  As a result, the Plaintiff's fraudulent
conveyance claims are deficient as a matter of law.  Accordingly,
the Debtor's motion for partial summary judgment is denied, and
the Bank's cross-motion for partial summary judgment is granted.

S. WILSON: Court Rules on Trustee's Avoidance Suit v. Banks et al.
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the suit, Carl B. Davis, Trustee, v. Heritage Bank, Kaw Valley
State Bank, Scotty Wilson, Emma Wilson, and Will Wilson, Nos.
09-10375, 10-5035, 09-13250, 10-5036 (Bankr. D. Kan.), Chief
Bankruptcy Judge Robert E. Nugent granted in part Emma Wilson and
Will Wilson' motion for summary judgment on the Trustee's
Complaint to avoid and preserve certain liens of Heritage Bank for
the estate under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 544, to avoid certain transfers to
the Bank, Will, and Emma under 11 U.S.C. Secs. 547, 548 & 549, and
to recover property of the estate not previously identified as
assets of Scotty Wilson and S. Wilson Enterprises.  The Trustee
claims that the three Wilsons operate as a joint venture and that
some of the property in Emma and Will's possession was in fact
property in which Scotty's and SWE's estates have an interest.
The Wilsons also seek summary judgment on the Bank's cross-claim
that Scotty, Will, and Emma in fact operate a family business
enterprise or joint venture and that the Bank's liens legally
attach to property that is in Will and Emma's possession, but
which Scotty or SWE actually owns in whole or in part by virtue of
the joint venture.

Judge Nugent said the causes of action that remain for trial are:

     1. The Trustee's lien avoidance claims to the "Sec. 544
        Property;"

     2. The Trustee's avoidance claims to the "Secs. 547 and
        548 Property;"

     3. The Trustee's turnover claims and the Bank's determination
        of secured status claims.

SCHUPBACH INVESTMENTS: To Shed Problematic Properties
-----------------------------------------------------
Schupbach Investments, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
Kan. Case No. 11-11425) on May 16, 2011, disclosing $4.65 million
in assets and almost $5.3 million in liabilities.

Bill Wilson at the Wichita Eagle reports that the Company was
dragged down by the economy and high tenant turnover.  Jon
Schupbach, the manager, said his current portfolio includes about
200 housing units on about 160 properties, including single- and
multi-family.  That's too many, he said, to remain economically
viable in an economic downturn.

"The difficult decision was to reorganize, which will allow us to
shed the problematic properties and keep the properties that will
sustain us for the future and make us able to provide a good,
clean habitable house for the community," Whichita Eagle quotes

SHAW FAMILY: Lawsuits Over Marilyn Monroe Photos Cue Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reports that Edith Marcus, the organization's president and the
late photographer Sam Shaw's daughter, blamed the filing on "a
series of lawsuits involving the [late Marilyn Monroe's]
photographs and other issues."  She wasn't available to comment on
the restructuring Wednesday.

Sam Shaw, according to the archive's Web site, started off as a
magazine photographer but later found his home in the film
industry.  He and his son Larry captured images of A-list movie
stars and other luminaries like athletes, musicians, directors,
artists and authors.

DBR recounts that in a 1994 lawsuit, Mr. Shaw accused son Larry of
stealing photographs and sought $100 million in damages as well as
a ruling that he, not his son, owned thousands of photographs.
Larry Shaw fought back over some of the photographs in question,
arguing that he had shot them.  According to New York court
records, when Sam Shaw died several years into the lawsuit, his
daughters Edith Shaw Marcus and Meta Shaw Stevens stepped into
their father's shoes.

DBR relates the family struck a settlement in 2002 under which
Shaw Family Archives was created to take ownership of the 500,000
photos in Sam Shaw's possession as well as 20,000 photos Larry
Shaw had.  Larry Shaw got a 50% ownership stake in the archives,
while the sisters split the remaining 50%.

In the organization's bankruptcy petition, Larry Shaw's estate --
he has since died -- maintains its 50% stake, but the sisters each
now own 10% stakes.  Other family members own the rest.

DBR further relates that even with that lawsuit settled, the Shaw
family became entangled in more litigation.  The attorneys who
represented both sides of the family in the prior lawsuit sought
to place liens of more than $1 million on the photographs.  In
2007, a New York court upheld a ruling granting the liens on the
photos and also extended the liens to any recovery of insurance
proceeds related to the collection of images.  Both attorneys are
now listed among Shaw Family Archives' creditors in its bankruptcy
petition -- one is owed $488,720 plus interest, while the other
has a claim for $557,505.77 plus interest.

Additionally, the Shaw Family Archives faced a lawsuit accusing it
of violating Ms. Monroe's right to publicity by using her image
and name for commercial purposes without consent.  In 2007, a
court sided with Shaw Family Archives, pointing to Ms. Monroe's
New York residence at the time of her death.  New York state law
doesn't recognize post-mortem publicity rights.

                        About Sirius XM Radio

Based in New York, Sirius XM Radio Inc. has two principal wholly
owned subsidiaries, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. and Satellite
CD Radio Inc.  XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. owns XM Satellite
Radio Inc., the operating company for the XM satellite radio
service.  Satellite CD Radio Inc. owns the Federal Communications
Commission license associated with the SIRIUS satellite radio
service.  XM Satellite Radio Inc. owns XM Radio Inc., the holder
of the FCC license associated with the XM satellite radio service.

In July 2008, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Vernon Merger
Corporation, merged with and into XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.
and, as a result, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. became Sirius'
wholly owned subsidiary.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed $7.22
billion in total assets, $6.93 billion in total liabilities and
$298.62 million total stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

Sirius carries (i) a 'BB-' corporate credit rating from Standard &
Poor's and (ii) 'B3' corporate family rating and 'B2' probability
of default rating from Moody's.

In October 2010, Moody's said the upgrade of Sirius XM's CFR to
'B3' from 'Caa1' reflects Moody's view that EBITDA (incorporating
Moody's standard adjustments) less capital spending to interest
expense will grow and comfortably exceed 1x in 2011, reflecting
higher than anticipated subscribers and revenue and reduced debt
service and programming costs.  As announced on October 1, 2010,
the company expects to add more than 1.3 million subscribers in
FY2010, bringing the year end total to 20.1 million and exceeding
prior expectations.  Despite high churn in the subscriber base,
vulnerability to cyclical consumer spending, and increasing
wireless competition, Moody's believe subscriptions will grow
through the end of 2011 as the economy and automotive sales
recover.  Heightened capital spending related to the ongoing
construction and launch of two satellites will likely limit free
cash flow generation in 2011.  The rating also reflects the
company's sizable debt burden as well as the need to invest
significantly in programming, marketing, launching new services,
and maintaining a satellite fleet to attract subscribers in
addition to delivering content.

As reported by the Troubled Company reporter on Dec. 14, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Sirius XM Radio and its subsidiaries, XM Satellite Radio
Holdings Inc. and XM Satellite Radio Inc. (which S&P analyze on a
consolidated basis), to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The rating outlook is
stable.  "The action reflects the company's improving operating
performance, declining debt leverage, and the prospects for
continued improvement in credit measures for full-year 2010 and
2011," explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Hal Diamond.

STATION CASINOS: K. Sotirakis Allowed to Prosecute Claim
--------------------------------------------------------
Charleston Station LLC and Kemberly L. Sotirakis entered into a
Court-approved stipulation lifting the automatic stay to allow
Ms. Sotirakis to prosecute her claim in the Nevada state trial
and appellate courts, which will be the forum for any non-
bankruptcy law objection to the KLS Claim by the Plan
Administrator or the Debtor.

In addition, the Parties agreed that the Plan injunction will not
bar or enjoin Ms. Sotirakis from liquidating her claim in the
Nevada Courts and that the Claim, once it becomes an allowed
claim will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Any estimation of the Claim will be solely for purposes of
establishing a disputed claim reserve.

Once the Claim is liquidated in the Nevada Courts and becomes an
Allowed General Unsecured Claim in the Bankruptcy Cases, the Plan
Administrator will arrange to cause payment in full in accordance
with the ordinary business practices of Charleston Station,
including through the Debtor's insurance coverage, and in
accordance with the Plan.

The Debtor believes that the KLS Claim is disputed and
unliquidated, and wishes to lodge and preserve the objection
prior to the Objection Deadline of Article VIII(B)(4) of the
Plan, but also to avoid duplicative proceedings to object to the
Claim.

The Parties note that their intent of in entering into the
Stipulation is to eliminate any uncertainty that the Debtor's
objection to the Claim and the Claim Objection Deadline will be
fully preserved by adjudication of the Claim in the Nevada Courts
and any further remands or proceedings arising therefrom and that
the Claim Objection Deadline is satisfied by that adjudication.

---------------------------------------------
Stratus Media Group, Inc., has successfully closed a series of
financings with gross proceeds of $14.1 million, in which Maxim
Group LLC served as placement agent for $8 million, Fusao Assets
S.A. for $3.1 million with the balance of $3 million placed by
Stratus.

Paul Feller, President and CEO, said, "Since Stratus was founded,
we have made significant progress in building a large portfolio of
assets and preparing to monetize those assets into revenues.  This
financing will allow us to implement business plans for multiple
verticals, produce live entertainment events, and initiate the
Stratus Rewards Visa White Card program."

To facilitate domestic and international strategic growth,
Stratus' properties have been realigned into five vertical
divisions: Film, Music, Motorsports, Action Sports, and Stratus
Rewards.  This refocus, along with this funding and additions of
key personnel, is expected to advance Stratus' business plan to
become a leading global provider of live entertainment and
lifestyle branding opportunities.

Some of the upcoming Stratus events planned for 2011 include the
Mille Miglia North America Tribute, an expansion of the historic
and world renowned Italian automotive driving event; the Santa
Barbara Concours d'Elegance, which kicks off the National Concours
d'Elegance Tour that is scheduled to have 10 stops in 2012; and
the Perugia International Film Festival.

"All divisions within Stratus are aligned with a common set of
objectives, and this financing will allow our management team to
implement the business plan that we believe will provide for
growth in global revenues and 'top of mind' awareness of the
Stratus brands," stated Paul Feller.  "Stratus will continue to
deliver premier consumer driven lifestyle events while extending
our reach to other emerging global entertainment markets,
including digital entertainment and commerce."

It is expected that up to an additional $2 million in gross
proceeds will be received through the sale of preferred stock and
warrants over the next several months.

SYMBION INC: Moody's Assigns B2 Rating to New Secured Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service rated Symbion, Inc.'s new $350 million
senior secured notes B2 and affirmed the company's B3 Corporate
Family and Probability of Default ratings, as well as the existing
senior PIK toggle notes at Caa2. Additionally the speculative
grade liquidity rating was upgraded to SGL-2 from SGL-3. The
outlook was changed to stable from negative in part due to the
increase in financial flexibility following the proposed
refinancing which includes the replacement of senior secured term
bank term loans with senior secured notes and the addition of an
$86 million PIK convertible note held by the equity sponsor.
Despite the improvement, Moody's remains concerned about Symbion's
significant debt burden.

Proceeds from the new secured notes and PIK convertible notes will
be used to refinance the company's existing bank credit
facilities, including the revolver, and $156 million of the 11%
unsecured PIK toggle notes. The new convertible notes will be PIK
for life. The new revolving credit facility is reduced to $50
million.

This rating was assigned:

Symbion, Inc.:

   -- $350 million senior secured notes due 2016 at B2 (LGD3,
      37%);

This rating was upgraded:

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3;

These ratings were affirmed:

   -- Corporate Family Rating at B3;

   -- Probability of Default Rating at B3;

   -- $89 million Senior PIK toggle notes due 2015 at Caa2 (LGD5,
      88%); (LGD assessment revised)

These ratings will be withdrawn upon repayment and final review of
documents:

   -- $100 million revolving credit facility at B1;

   -- $101 million term loan A at B1;

   -- $115 million term loan B at B1;

RATINGS RATIONALE

The stable outlook reflects the company's improved debt maturity
profile and the alleviation of Moody's near term concerns
regarding the existing financial maintenance covenants. The
outlook also reflects Moody's expectation of stable operating
performance given low reimbursement risk over the near term.

The B3 corporate family rating reflects Symbion's very high
leverage, modest interest coverage and margin pressure given
declining case volumes. While near term default risk will be
alleviated with this transaction Moody's remains concerned about
the 2015 maturity of the PIK toggle notes and size of the debt
burden versus enterprise value. With high unemployment and
individuals with limited or no health coverage, many are less
likely to schedule physician visits, ultimately resulting in fewer
visits to ASCs and the deferral of non-urgent care. These factors
have contributed to the decrease in case volume Symbion has
experienced. While acquisitions are expected to support revenue
growth, they are may not completely offset the increase in
leverage from the accretion of the PIK loans. Moreover, an
increase in cash interest next year will absorb a significant
amount of the company's free cash flow also constraining the
longer term goal of deleveraging.

However, the rating also incorporates the company's scale and
diverse geographic footprint in the ASC industry, good EBITDA
margins at around 20%, and its favorable payor and case mix.
Despite the deterioration in same store case volumes, revenues per
case have improved driven largely by higher acuity cases and
Moody's expects this trend to continue over the near to medium
term.

A rating upgrade is not likely in the near term as key credit
metrics remain weak for the rating category. However, if the
company is able to grow earnings and de-lever to around 6 times
with a sustainable capital structure, an upgrade could be
considered.

If the company appears unlikely to delever from current levels by
2012, the ratings could be downgraded. Failure to successfully
refinance could also lead to a downgrade given Moody's concerns
regarding maturities and covenant compliance.

Symbion'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 Symbion's core industry and
believes Symbion's ratings are comparable to those of other
issuers with similar credit risk. Other methodologies used include
Loss Given Default for Speculative Grade Issuers in the US,
Canada, and EMEA, published June 2009.

Symbion, Inc., headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, owns and
operates a network of short-stay surgical facilities providing
non-emergency surgical procedures in various specialties,
including orthopedics, pain management, gastroenterology and
ophthalmology. As of March 31, 2011, Symbion owned and operated 49
ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and five surgical hospitals. The
company's facilities are owned in partnership with physicians
and/or health care systems in the markets served. Symbion
consolidates the operations of 49 of the 54 facilities with the
operations of the remaining facilities accounted for under the
equity method. The company also managed eight additional surgery
centers and one physician network. For the twelve months ended
March 31, 2011, the company recognized revenues of approximately
$432 million. The company was acquired by Crestview Partners in an
LBO in August 2007.


SYMBION INC: S&P Puts 'B-' CCR on Watch Pos. on Proposed Financing
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its current 'B-'
corporate credit rating on Nashville-based Symbion Inc. on
CreditWatch with positive implications, given the company's
proposed debt refinancing.

"We also placed the 'CCC' unsecured debt rating on the company's
existing 11% unsecured notes due 2015 on CreditWatch with positive
implications. We expect to raise our corporate credit rating and
unsecured debt ratings following the completion of the debt
refinancing. The '6' recovery rating (reflecting expectations for
negligible (0% to 10%) recovery for lenders in the event of
payment default) on the unsecured notes will remain unchanged,"
S&P stated.

"In addition, we assigned our 'B' issue-level rating (the same as
the expected corporate credit rating on the company) to Symbion's
proposed $350 million senior secured notes due 2016. The recovery
rating on this debt is '4', indicating our expectation for average
(30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the event of payment
default," S&P continued.

"The speculative-grade corporate credit rating on Symbion," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Rivka Gertzulin, "reflects the
outpatient surgical facilities operator's difficult position as it
contends with the effect of a weak economy on case volume, small
reimbursement increases, and rising debt, which is contributing to
slim bank covenant cushions." The proposed refinancing will
eliminate the senior secured credit facility and the company will
only have covenants on its proposed senior secured revolving
credit facility.

"If the company is unable to complete its refinancing," continued
Ms. Gertzulin, "we believe it will struggle to meet its growing
cash needs over the next two years from increasing debt
amortization requirements and mandatory conversion of its pay-in-
kind (PIK) obligations to cash pay in 2012." "We believe the
company's earnings from its existing portfolio of facilities,
which have been flat for the past two years, must begin to
increase to improve its chances of meeting its debt amortization,
interest requirements, and bank covenant compliance. The company
will also have to contend with maturing senior debt in 2013. We
characterize the company's financial risk profile as highly
leveraged and its business risk profile as weak."


SYNOVUS FINANCIAL: S&P Affirms Counterparty Credit Rating at 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Synovus
Financial Corp. to stable from negative. "At the same time, we
affirmed our 'BB-' long-term counterparty credit rating on
Synovus," S&P said.

"The outlook revision reflects our opinion that asset quality
appears to be stabilizing, as demonstrated by lower sequential
charge-offs and nonperforming loan (NPL) inflows. We believe
further asset-quality deterioration and capital erosion at Synovus
will be manageable given the company's robust reserve and its
expense-reduction plan implementation, which should boost pretax,
preprovision earnings beginning in 2011," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Dan Teclaw. Nevertheless, the company's capital
position is notably weak relative to peers and remains a negative
ratings factor.

According to S&P, "We acknowledge that 11 consecutive quarterly
net losses due to high provisions and net charge-offs (NCOs)
reflect significant credit risk in the loan portfolio. NCOs
declined sequentially since second-quarter 2010 except for a spike
in fourth-quarter 2010 when $225 million of $385 million NCOs were
related to opportunistic disposition transfer of nonperformers to
'held for sale' status. We think the reserve is adequate for the
risk in its loan book. Management built a robust reserve that
still totaled $678 million as of March 2011 (3.23% of total
loans). The reserve covers all NPLs at about 45%. About 75% of the
reserve has been specifically assigned to Synovus's NPLs, which
removes a significant portion of incremental charge-off risk from
nonperforming assets (NPAs) at disposition, reducing future
pressure on earnings and capital."

"Although it is only one of our rating factors, we continue to
view Synovus's capital measures as a rating weakness. Our measure
of Synovus's risk-adjusted capital adequacy of 6.2% is in the
lowest quartile of our rated regional banks. The tangible common
equity-to-tangible assets ratio of 6.66% in March 2011 is also on
the low end of our rated regional bank universe, which typically
exceeds 7%. The bank subsidiary is under a Memorandum of
Understanding requiring a higher leverage ratio of 8% (versus 5%
normally), which it comfortably exceeded at 9.74% in March 2011.
The company still has $940 million of TARP to repay the U.S.
Treasury, which we do not expect to happen until late 2012 at the
earliest. Positively, Synovus has demonstrated solid market access
even in its weakened financial condition by raising $1.7 billion
of common equity in two upsized offerings in September 2009 and
April 2010," S&P continued

The outlook is stable. "We expect Synovus's credit quality to
demonstrate gradual point-to-point improvement by the end of the
year and the company to reach quarterly profitability by first-
quarter 2012. The company's weak pretax preprovision income should
improve based on the announced rationalization initiatives. We
believe capital is weak at its current levels but is buttressed by
a robust reserve. If it appears that the company's tangible common
equity-to-tangible assets ratio will drop below 6.25% and remain
depressed for an extended period or if our expectations for
profitability in early 2012 appear to be delayed significantly, we
could revise the outlook back to negative or further lower the
ratings. We do not anticipate a positive rating move in the near
to medium term without significant capital improvement and a
return to sustainable profitability reflecting better credit-
quality trends," S&P related.


TANDUS FLOORING: S&P Affirms CCR at 'B'; Outlook Revised to Pos.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Dalton,
Ga.-based Tandus Flooring Inc. to positive from stable.

"At the same time, we affirmed all of the ratings on Tandus,
including the 'B' corporate credit rating," S&P said.

"The outlook revision reflects Tandus' improving financial risk
profile following a reduction in total adjusted debt -- including
adjustments for pensions and operating leases -- of approximately
25% over the past few years, improving adjusted leverage to about
4.5x from 5.7x over that time period," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Megan Johnston. "It also reflects our expectation
that earnings and funds from operations should increase over the
next two years due to recent cost reductions and improving market
conditions."

"For 2011, we expect renovation and remodeling spending, from
which Tandus generates more than two-thirds of sales, to be flat
to slightly up over 2010 levels. In addition, we assume margins
will be held flat, as the company expects to offset rising raw
material costs through price increases and cost containment
measures. As a result, we expect total adjusted debt to EBITDA to
be between 4x and 4.5x, and FFO to debt of between 15% and 20%,
which we would consider to be in line with our view of the
company's aggressive financial risk profile. In addition, we
expect interest coverage to be in excess of 4x, as a result of
reduced debt levels. Risks to our forecast include a slower
economic recovery that weakens demand, particularly from Tandus'
core corporate customers, as well as the prospect of further cost
increases in raw materials which could compress margins if higher
pricing cannot be achieved due to weak demand and competitive
market conditions," S&P elaborated.

"The 'B' rating reflects the company's relatively small size,
participation in the highly competitive and cyclical carpet
industry and exposure to volatile raw material costs, partially
offset by the company's niche market position in the domestic
commercial carpet market and its diversified customer base, which
lead to our assessment of the company's weak business risk
profile," S&P continued.

Tandus is a manufacturer of commercial floor covering in the U.S.
and has the largest market position in the six-foot roll carpet
segment. The company also has leading brands in modular carpet
tile, woven, and tufted broadloom carpet. The company has somewhat
diverse end markets, with clients in education, health care and
government accounting for nearly two-thirds of North American
floor-covering revenues in the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2011.

"The positive rating outlook reflects our expectation that Tandus'
earnings should benefit over the next two years from gradually
improving volumes as the economy recovers and commercial demand
continues to improve, with adjusted leverage of 4.5x or less and
interest coverage in excess of 4x. We could raise the corporate
credit rating if credit metrics are sustained at these levels
and if we think liquidity, in terms of cash, availability under
the ABL facility, and cash flow from operations, will remain
adequate to service the company's fixed charges over the next
year," S&P stated.

S&P noted, "We could take a negative rating action if the U.S.
economic recovery falters and commercial demand for Tandus'
products drops substantially or if price increases are
insufficient to offset higher input costs, causing liquidity and
credit metrics to deteriorate from current levels with leverage
exceeding 5x on a sustained basis. This could occur if sales
volumes remain flat and gross margins deteriorate by about 100
basis points from current levels. In addition, a negative rating
action could occur if the company were to increase its use of debt
for shareholder friendly actions or debt-financed acquisitions."


TAYLOR BEAN: Lee Farkas Sues National Union Over Legal Bills
------------------------------------------------------------
Suevon Lee at Ocala.com reports that unless a federal judge
requires an insurance provider to continue paying the costs of Lee
Farkas' defense, the former Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.
chairman's appeal could hang in limbo, his lawyers contend.

According to the report, defense attorneys for the 58-year-old,
who was found guilty by jury a month ago on 14 counts of bank,
wire and securities fraud, are seeking injunctive relief against
National Union Fire Insurance Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. more than
$2 million in existing legal bills.

The report relates the company, a unit of American International
Group Inc., refuses to disburse the funds because it claims the
guilty verdict triggered two exceptions in the insurance policy
that exclude coverage for loss arising out of ill-gotten gains or
criminal and fraudulent acts.

Sentencing for Mr. Farkas, who remains in custody at an Alexandria
detention center, is June 27, say Seuvon Lee.

Sevon Lee notes, in an 18-page complaint filed with the U.S.
District Court in Alexandria, defense lawyers claim Farkas is
entitled to receive funds all the way up through his case's final
disposition -- which they define, under Florida law, to mean
"until post-conviction remedies have been exhausted."

Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. grew from a small Ocala-
based mortgage broker to become one of the largest mortgage
bankers in the United States.  In 2009, Taylor Bean was the

loans of the largest wholesale mortgage lenders and issuer of
mortgage backed securities.  It also managed a combined mortgage
servicing portfolio of approximately $80 billion.  The company
employed more that 2,000 people in offices located throughout the
United States.

Taylor Bean sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case
No. 09-07047) on Aug. 24, 2009.  Taylor Bean filed the Chapter 11
petition three weeks after federal investigators searched its
offices.  The day following the search, the Federal Housing
Administration, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac prohibited the company
from issuing new mortgages and terminated servicing rights.
Taylor Bean estimated more than $1 billion in both assets and
liabilities in its bankruptcy petition.

TAYLOR BEAN: Gov't Seeks Forfeiture of Farkas Assets
----------------------------------------------------
Patrick Fitzgerald, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy
Review, reports that the U.S. government, which recently won a key
criminal conviction against Lee Farkas, isn't satisfied that the
former Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. leader faces the
rest of his life in prison.  The feds want him to cough up his
ill-gotten gains, too.

According to DBR, federal prosecutors are asking a federal court
in Alexandria, Va., to forfeit some $30.7 million, the "gross
proceeds of the defendant's bank and wire fraud."  DBR says that
amount includes:

     -- $15 million Mr. Farkas fraudulently obtained in a loan
        from Colonial Bank, which also collapsed due to wrongdoing
        at Taylor Bean;

     -- $8.4 million Mr. Farkas tapped in a shareholder account at
        Taylor Bean;

     -- $7.3 million comes from the notorious "Lee loans," phony
        loans Mr. Farkas made on properties that don't exist or
        which he didn't have title to.

According to DBR, since the government says it can't find most of
the proceeds from Mr. Farkas's crimes, it's seeking the forfeiture
of a half-dozen Florida properties as a substitute in partial
payment for the money judgment against the convicted mortgage
lender.

DBR relates Mr. Farkas's attorney, William B. Cummings, couldn't
immediately be reached for comment.

TELKONET INC: Dismisses RBSM LLP as Accountants
-----------------------------------------------
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Telkonet, Inc.,
dismissed RBSM LLP as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm, and appointed Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP, as

ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
subsequent interim period through May 26, 2011, there were no
disagreements between the Company and RBSM LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to RBSM LLP's satisfaction, would have caused them

TRIAD GUARANTY: Suspending Filing of Reports Under 401(k) Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the Triad Guaranty Inc. common stock fund
was eliminated from the investment alternatives under the Triad
Guaranty Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, and therefore Plan
interests are now exempt from registration.  Accordingly, the
Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form
15 to suspend the Plan's duty to file reports under Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including on
Form 11-K.

In addition, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
the Registration Statements on Form-S-8 filed by Triad Guaranty
Inc. on Sept. 18, 2009, and Aug. 29, 1995, relating to the offer
and sale of shares of common stock of the Company and related plan
interests under the Triad Guaranty Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing
Plan, as amended.  The Post-Effective Amendments were filed solely
to deregister any and all securities previously registered under
the Registration Statements that remain unsold.

TRIBUNE CO: Says Noteholder Plan Won't Resolve Any Disputes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Tribune Company and its debtor affiliates, the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Angelo
Gordon & Co., L.P., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., submitted to
Judge Kevin Carey a brief responding to opening brief filed by the
group of noteholders led by Aurelius Capital Management, LP, in
support of the Plan of Reorganization they proposed for the
Debtors.

"Out of 125 pages of brief, the Noteholders devote a scant four
pages to supporting their plan, tellingly focusing on what the
Noteholder Plan will do, but on what it will not do: it will not
resolve any of the disputes that have plagued these Chapter 11
cases," James F. Conlan, Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP, in Chicago,
Illinois, counsel to the Debtors, asserts.

Mr. Conlan insists that the evidence and the report of Kenneth
Klee, the Court-appointed examiner, show that the DCL Plan
settlement is reasonable, fair and equitable.  Under the DCL
Plan, creditors will be paid, entitlements determined and value
maximized, he states.  Under the Noteholder Plan, creditors would
continue to fight over who gets how much of the pie with no clear
entitlements, no clear rules, and no end in sight, he emphasizes.

Mr. Conlan further argues that the Noteholders' assertion that
their efforts to reduce the amount of Reorganized Tribune's
equity held in reserve at emergence "obviate" all of the
governance concerns raised by the DCL Plan Proponents ignores
several glaring issues, including, most notably, the Distribution
Trustee would still appoint two of seven board members of
Reorganized Tribune and retain the ability to vote separately on,
and thus veto certain strategic transactions for the life of the
Distribution Trust, even if the Distribution Trust held no equity
at all, he contends.

The Noteholders also assert that they expect the Noteholder
Plan's multi-billion dollar reserve to be distributed shortly
after effectiveness of their plan, Mr. Conlan reminds the Court.
However, Mr. Conlan complains, without a plan process to bind
dissenters, the Litigation Trustee would be forced either to
litigate all the LBO Related Causes of Action to conclusion or to
negotiate settlements individually with each Senior Lender and
each Bridge Lender in order to permit distribution of the massive
reserve -- hardly a landscape conducive to quick and easy
compromise.

Notably, the Noteholder Plan's failure to resolve the allowance
of more than $10 billion in claims -- over 75% of Tribune's total
indebtedness -- is a flaw that makes it impossible to determine
any constituency's entitlements and necessitates an unprecedented
multi-billion dollar reserve, Mr. Conlan contends.  "Aurelius may
be willing to forgo the settlement consideration offered by the
DCL Plan and endlessly prolong the Debtors' bankruptcy, but other
creditors clearly and overwhelmingly are not, and they should not
be dragged along on Aurelius's risky experiment," he maintains.

TRIBUNE CO: Noteholders Say Debtor Plan a "Fix It Later" Strategy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Aurelius Capital Management, LP, on behalf of its managed
entities; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity
as successor Indenture Trustee for certain series of Senior
Notes; Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, in its capacity
as successor Indenture Trustee for certain series of Senior
Notes; and Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as successor
Indenture Trustee for the PHONES Notes, filed with the Court a
brief in response to the DCL Plan Proponents' opening brief with
respect to the DCL Plan.

Counsel to Aurelius, Daniel H. Golden, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss
Hauer & Feld LLP, in New York, argues that, while more classes
voted in favor of the DCL Plan than the Noteholder Plan, this is
only indicative that the settlement the DCL Plan embodies has the
overwhelming support of creditors who are either receiving a
sweetheart release -- the LBO Lenders and Retirees, who are
contractually obligated to support the DCL Plan -- or a
disproportionate share of the settlement consideration -- the
Subsidiary General Unsecured Creditors.  The Pre-LBO Noteholders
overwhelmingly voted to accept the Noteholder Plan and reject the
DCL Plan, evidencing that the Proposed Settlement is not fair and
equitable, he avers.

As demonstrated by the Examiner's analysis of the many litigation
outcomes that could lead to substantial recoveries to the Non-LBO
Creditors, the value of the LBO Claims against the Senior Lenders
is vastly greater than the consideration contemplated under the
Proposed Settlement, Mr. Golden states.  The Noteholders prepared
a table illustrating the correct allocation of DCL settlement
proceeds, available for free at:

http://bankrupt.com/misc/Tribune_NoteholdersSettlementAllocation.p
df

Mr. Golden tells Judge Carey that Non-LBO Creditors will receive
superior recoveries if:

   (i) only Step Two is avoided and (a) equitable principles
       like waiver, estoppel and assumption of risk preclude the
       Step One Lenders from sharing in the benefit of Step Two
       avoidance, (b) the Debtors' total distributable
       enterprise value is equal to or higher than $6.9 billion,
       or (c) the Step One Lenders' claims are equitably
       subordinated; or if

  (ii) all LBO debt is avoided only at Tribune.

Indeed, the Competing Plans are substantially similar in many
ways, and both enable the Debtors to reorganize successfully,
Mr. Golden points out.  However, he notes, with respect to
relative creditor recoveries under each plan, the DCL Plan
Proponents focus exclusively on the certainty and timing of
distributions rather than the metric the Court should focus on --
ensuring that creditors receive the recoveries to which they are
legally entitled.  Unlike the DCL Plan, the Noteholder Plan does
not introduce additional media interests that will complicate,
delay or adversely affect the FCC approval process, he stresses.

Essentially, the Court should confirm the Noteholder Plan, which
the DCL Plan Proponents admit "would not be subject to substantial
delay" before the Federal Communications Commission, in contrast
to the DCL Plan, which adopts a "fix-it-later" strategy with
inherent substantial delay, the Noteholders insist.

creditors with $400 million in 11.875% secured notes.  As part of
the transaction, the Trico parent received 5% of the stock in the
former subsidiaries and warrants for another 10%.  The spinoff was
part of a settlement with the subsidiaries approved by the
bankruptcy court in February.

TWO GUYS GRILLE: Owners Sued by Bank for Intercompany Transfers
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wayne Faulkner at StarNews Online reports that a suit by RBC Bank
against principals and companies connected with Two Guys Grille
restaurants said that those companies and owners transferred
assets among the parties to fraudulently avoid creditors.

According to the report, the suit, filed last year by RBC and
being heard in N.C. Business Court, alleges that Two Guys
principals and New Hanover County businessmen Jonathan Duea and
Douglas Messina transferred assets between three companies in
order to block the Raleigh-based bank and other creditors from
collecting on debts.

Three companies are named in the suit: Two Guys Grille
Independence Inc., Two Guys Grille Oleander Inc. and Two Guys
Grille Management Group Inc.  Additionally, the suit charges the
corporations and Duea and Messina with constructive fraud and
unfair trade practices.

StarNews relates that one of the companies, Two Guys Independence,
is associated with operation of the now closed Two Guys Grille at
Independence Mall.

The suit said that the transfer of all of Two Guys Independence's
assets to Duea "was part of his plan and scheme to cause
Independence to cease operating the restaurant so that Duea and
Oleander could usurp all the assets of Independence for their own
benefit and the benefit of Messina and the Two Guys corporations."

The suit alleges that the companies are really one and the same.

StarNews relates that the suit, in its claim of fraudulent
transfer, alleges that "less than half of the $250,000 borrowed by
(Two Guys Independence) in October 2007 from Crescent State Bank
actually went to" Two Guys Independence.

In seeking to pierce the corporate veil, the suit says "Duea and
Messina have created multiple 'Two Guys' corporations, despite the
fact that all the corporations do business as Two Guys Grille;
share a single web site; used the same menu; have common
management; have common ownerships...and are operated for all
intents and purposes as a single entity."  More than $75,000 of
the $250,000 went to pay off a loan in the names of Duea and
Messina, and $50,000 of the $250,000 went into a CD that was
registered in Duea's name.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011 showed $2.95 billion
in total assets, $3.64 billion in total liabilities, and a
$692.10 million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 24, 2011,
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Unisys' B1 corporate family
rating and all other ratings, and also changed the rating outlook
to positive from stable.  This outlook change follows the
announcement by Unisys of plans to issue mandatory convertible
preferred stock, redeem secured notes, and tender for additional
bonds which Moody' estimates will reduce secured debt by up to
$390 million.  Upon completion of the transactions, the loss given
default assessments will be revised based on the remaining debt
balances.

In the May 5, 2011 edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Blue Bell, Pa.-
based Unisys Corp. to 'BB-' from 'B+', and removed the ratings
from CreditWatch, where they were placed with positive
implications on Feb. 22, 2011.

"The upgrade reflects Unisys' improved financial profile following
the recent debt redemptions," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Martha Toll-Reed, "and adequate liquidity, which provides
some capacity at the current rating for potential earnings
volatility."

"The ratings reflect our view that Unisys' improved financial
profile and consistently positive annual free cash flow will
provide sufficient cushion in the near term to mitigate the
potential for ongoing revenue declines and operating performance
volatility," added Ms. Toll-Reed.

--------------------------------------------------
Judge Dennis Montali of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of California has approved the application of the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Urban West Rincon
Developers II and Rincon Developers Phase II, LLC, to employ:

         Michael A. Sweet
         Meyers Nave Riback Silver & Wilson
         575 Market Street, Suite 2600
         San Francisco, CA 94105
         (415) 421-3711

as counsel effective April 27, 2011.

To the best of the Committee's knowledge, Meyer Nave is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

                         About Urban West

San Francisco, California-based Urban West Rincon Developers II,
LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. N.D.
Calif. Case No. 11-30924) on March 9, 2011.  Heinz Binder, Esq.,
and Roya Shakoori, Esq., at the Law Offices of Binder and Malter,
serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.  The Debtor listed
total assets of $28,851,986 and total liabilities of $39,180,356
in its schedules.


U.S. RENAL: S&P Affirms CCR at 'B'; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Plano, Texas-based U.S. Renal Care Inc.

"At the same time, we assigned to the company's proposed $40
million revolving credit facility and $215 million first-lien term
loan our 'B+' credit rating and '2' recovery rating, indicating
our expectation for substantial (70%-90%) recovery of principal in
the event of a payment default," S&P continued.

"When the company's existing term loan is repaid with proceeds
from the new financing, we will withdraw our ratings on that
debt," S&P noted.

"The low speculative-grade rating on Plano, Texas-based U.S. Renal
Care Inc. (USRC) reflects its highly leveraged financial risk
profile and vulnerable business risk profile," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Gail Hessol. Last year, the company acquired
Dialysis Corporation of America (DCA) in a largely debt-financed
transaction. Now, it plans to pay a special dividend that will be
financed with new borrowing. Pro forma adjusted leverage will
rise to 6.5x. The company's single-focus business is relatively
small, with limited geographic diversity. It depends on the
treatment of a single disease, and the pricing of its services is
subject to intense pressure from third-party payors.


VALENCE TECHNOLOGY: Incurs $12.68 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Valence Technology, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net
loss of $12.68 million on $45.88 million of revenue for the year
ended March 31, 2011, compared with a net loss of $23.01 million
on $16.08 million of revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2011, showed $36.01
million in total assets, $91.24 million in total liabilities,
$8.61 million in redeemable convertible preferred stock, and a
$63.83 million total stockholders' deficit.

PMB Helin Donovan, LLP, in Austin, Texas, noted that Company's
recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows from
operations and net stockholders' capital deficiency raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

VALLEJO, CA: Muni Bankruptcy Plan Confirmation Set for July 28
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the city of Vallejo, California, received formal
approval from the bankruptcy judge this week for the disclosure
statement explaining the municipal reorganization plan. The
confirmation hearing for approval of the plan was set for July 28.

Mr. Rochelle relates that approval of the disclosure statement
means creditors can begin voting on the plan.  The plan
restructures $50 million of publicly held debt secured by leases
on public buildings.  Without affecting pensions, the plan also
adjusts the claims and benefits of current and former city
employees.

                        About City of Vallejo

Vallejo -- http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/-- is a city in Solano
County, California in the United States.  As of the 2000 census,
the city had a total population of 116,760.  It is located in the
San Francisco Bay Area on the northern shore of San Pablo Bay.  It
was named for General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo.

Vallejo filed for protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 08-26813) on May 23,
2008, after it was unable to persuade labor unions to accept
salary concessions as the recession began cutting into local
government tax collections nationwide.  Marc A. Levinson, Esq.,
and Norman C. Hile, Esq., at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in
Sacramento, California, represent the City.  The city estimated
$500 million to $1 billion in assets and $100 million to $500
million in debts in its petition.  According to Vallejo's
comprehensive annual report for the year ended June 30, 2007, the
city has $983 million in assets and $358 million in debts.


VICTOR E. THOMPSON: Court Confirms Amended Plan
-----------------------------------------------
Chief Bankruptcy Judge Terry L. Myers confirmed the amended plan
of reorganization dated Jan. 13, 2011, filed by Victor and Teresa
Thompson, saying the Plan meets all the necessary requirements of
11 U.S.C. Sections 1129(a) and (b).  The Court overruled
objections to confirmation filed by Federal National Mortgage
Association through its servicing agent, IBM Lender Business
Process Services, Inc.  A copy of the Court's May 17, 2011
Memorandum of Decision is available at http://is.gd/BTuKVcfrom
Leagle.com.

Victor E. Thompson and wife Teresa B. Thompson, in Nampa, Idaho,
are in the business of buying and developing real estate.  Whether
they resell the properties or hold them as rental income producing
properties has varied with market conditions.  Their Plan
identifies 10 parcels of property on which they propose to
restructure debts.

The Thompsons filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Idaho
Case No. 09-00963) on April 16, 2009, represented by D. Blair
Clark, Esq. -- dbc@dbclarklaw.com -- as bankruptcy counsel.  In
their petition, the Thompsons listed $1 million to $10 million in
both assets and debts.


VITRO SAB: Subsidiaries Secure $30 Million Financing
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that five subsidiaries of Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. received
final approval on May 26 for $30 million in secured financing to
support their Chapter 11 cases.  Financing for the Chapter 11
cases comes from the existing secured lender Bank of America NA.
When the Chapter 11 cases began, debt to the bank included $8.6
million owing on a revolving credit and a potential liability of
$14.2 million on outstanding letters of credit.

All five subsidiaries were scheduled to go up for auction on
June 1.  There already is a contract to sell the U.S. businesses
for $44 million to an affiliate of Grey Mountain Partners LLC from
Boulder, Colorado.  Ccompetitor Arch Aluminum & Glass Co. Inc., an
affiliate of Sun Capital Partners Inc., previously said it would
offer $45 million for the assets.

Mr. Rochelle notes that the DIP loan allows the creditors'
committee to spend as much as $125,000 investigating the validity
of the secured claim.  The documents prohibit the bankruptcy court
from precluding the lender from buying the assets with secured
debt rather than cash.

                        About Vitro SAB

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

Vitro is the largest manufacturer of glass containers and flat
glass in Mexico, with consolidated net sales in 2009 of MXN23,991
million (US$1.837 billion).

Vitro defaulted on its debt in 2009, and sought to restructure
around US$1.5 billion in debt, including US$1.2 billion in notes.
Vitro launched an offer to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt
from bondholders.  The tender offer would be consummated with a
bankruptcy filing in Mexico and Chapter 15 filing in the United
States.  Vitro said noteholders would recover as much as 73% by
exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt or convertible bonds.

           Concurso Mercantil & Chapter 15 Proceedings

Vitro SAB on Dec. 13, 2010, filed its voluntary petition for a
pre-packaged Concurso Plan in the Federal District Court for Civil
and Labor Matters for the State of Nuevo Leon, commencing its
voluntary concurso mercantil proceedings -- the Mexican equivalent
of a prepackaged Chapter 11 reorganization.  Vitro SAB also
commenced parallel proceedings under Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16619) in Manhattan
on Dec. 13, 2010, to seek U.S. recognition and deference to its
bankruptcy proceedings in Mexico.

Early in January 2011, the Mexican Court dismissed the Concurso
Mercantil proceedings.  The judge said Vitro couldn't push through
a plan to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt from bondholders
based on the vote of US$1.9 billion of intercompany debt when
third-party creditors were opposed.  Vitro as a result dismissed
the first Chapter 15 petition following the ruling by the Mexican
court.

On April 12, 2011, an appellate court in Mexico reinstated the
reorganization.  Accordingly, Vitro SAB on April 14 re-filed a
petition for recognition of its Mexican reorganization in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-11754).

In the present Chapter 15 case, the Debtor seeks to block any
creditor suits in the U.S. pending the reorganization in Mexico.

                     Chapter 11 Proceedings

A group of noteholders opposed the exchange -- namely Knighthead
Master Fund, L.P., Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc., Davidson
Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, and Brookville Horizons
Fund, L.P.  Together, they held US$75 million, or approximately 6%
of the outstanding bond debt.  The Noteholder group commenced
involuntary bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code against Vitro Asset Corp. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case
No. 10-47470) and 15 other affiliates on Nov. 17, 2010.

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

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

The U.S. affiliates subject to the involuntary petitions are Vitro
Chemicals, Fibers & Mining, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47472); Vitro America, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47473);
Troper Services, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47474); Super

(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47484); and Vitro Packaging, LLC
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47485).

A bankruptcy judge in Fort Worth, Texas, denied involuntary
Chapter 11 petitions filed against four U.S. subsidiaries.  On
April 6, 2011, Vitro SAB agreed to put Vitro units -- Vitro
America LLC and three other U.S. subsidiaries -- that were subject
to the involuntary petitions into voluntary Chapter 11.  The Texas
Court on April 21 denied involuntary petitions against the eight
U.S. subsidiaries that didn't consent to being in Chapter 11.

Kurtzman Carson Consultants is the claims and notice agent to
Vitro America, et al.  Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC, is the
Debtors' operations and financial advisor.

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 cases of Vitro America, et al., has selected Sarah Link
Schultz, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in Dallas,
Texas, and Michael S. Stamer, Esq., Abid Qureshi, Esq., and Alexis
Freeman, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in New York,

VULCAN MATERIALS: S&P Rates Proposed Sr. Unsecured Notes at 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned issue-level and
recovery ratings to Birmingham, Ala.-based aggregates materials
producer Vulcan Materials Co.'s proposed $ 1 billion senior
unsecured notes, which will be partially due Dec. 1, 2016, with
the remainder due June 1, 2021, with specific amounts for each
maturity to be determined. The issue rating on the notes is 'BB'
(same as the corporate credit rating). "The recovery rating on
both issues is '3', indicating our expectation of meaningful (50%
to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment default. The ratings
are based on preliminary terms and conditions and we expect the
notes to be issued from the company's shelf dated May 31, 2011,"
S&P noted.

S&P related, "We expect that proceeds from the proposed note
issuance will be used to repay amounts outstanding on Vulcan's
$1.5 billion revolving credit agreement due November 2012,
refinance its $450 million unsecured term loan, and fund a
partial tender offer for certain of Vulcan's outstanding 5.6%
senior notes due 2012 and 6.3% senior notes due 2013."

"The 'BB' rating and stable outlook reflect the combination of
what we consider to be Vulcan's satisfactory business risk profile
and aggressive financial risk profile. The rating also reflects
Vulcan's leading position in the highly fragmented U.S. aggregates
industry (primarily crushed stone, sand, and gravel), favorable
long-term prospects for infrastructure spending, and the
high operating margins inherent in the aggregates business.
Nonetheless, Vulcan's exposure to cyclical construction end
markets, its limited product scope, and very high debt levels
temper these strengths," S&P continued.

Vulcan Materials is the nation's largest producer of construction
aggregates, primarily crushed stone, sand, and gravel. The company
is also a major producer of asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete,
as well as a leading producer of cement in Florida. The company
operates over 300 aggregates facilities and its primary operations
are located across the Southern and Western U.S.

WAGSTAFF PROPERTIES: Has Interim Access to Secured Lenders' Cash
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wagstaff Properties LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Minnesota to use unencumbered cash and cash
collateral.

Bankruptcy Judge Nancy C. Dreher previously authorized the
Debtor's interim access to the cash collateral.  The Court
scheduled a June 1, hearing to consider the Debtor's further
access to the cash collateral.

The Debtors secured lenders consist of General Electric Capital
Corporation, General Electric Capital Business Asset Funding Of
Connecticut, GE Capital Franchise Finance Corporation and Colonial
Pacific Leasing Corporation or Perella Weinberg Partners Asset
Based Value Master Fund I L.P. and Perella Weinberg Partners ABV
Opportunity Master Fund II A L.P.

The Debtors relate that the lenders may have a liens on or
security interests in certain of its assets.  As of the petition
date, April 30, 2011, the outstanding obligations to secured
creditors are approximately $47.5 million to the GE lenders and
$13.6 million to Perella.

The Debtors would use the cash and the proceeds of other assets
for the operation of their business.  A full-text copy of the cash
collateral budget is available for free at:

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

The GE lenders and Perella have consented to use of the GE
lenders' cash collateral and the Perella cash collateral,
respectively, on a limited and interim basis on the terms set
forth in the GE objection.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of the lenders'
collateral, the Debtors will grant the prepetition lenders a
replacement lien on the Debtors' assets and to make adequate
protection payments of $227,000 to GE and $33,634 to Perella.

                            Objections

General Electric Capital Corporation, et al., told the Court that
the GE Lenders are unaware of any unencumbered cash that the
Subject Debtors would have that is not otherwise subject to the GE
Lenders' security interests.

Perella, secured lenders to D & D Idaho Food, Inc., D & D Property
Investments, LLC, Wagstaff Texas, Inc. and Wagstaff Properties
Texas, LLC said that the Idaho/Texas Debtors have the burden to
come forward with an adequate protection package.

The lender also objected to the weekly payment of professional
fees without appropriate review.

                  About Wagstaff Properties LLC

Hanford, California-based Wagstaff Properties LLC and its debtor-
affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Minn. Case
No. 11-43074) on April 30, 2011.

The cases are jointly administered with Wagstaff Minnesota Inc.
(Bankr. Case No. 11-43073).  Bankruptcy Judge Nancy C. Dreher
presides the case.  Fredrikson & Byron, PA, and Peitzman Weg &
Kempinsky LLP represent the Debtor in their restructuring efforts.
The debtors estimated assets and liabilities at $10 million to
$50 million.


WARREN BEVAN: Court Upholds 2003 Discharge Order
------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Arthur S. Weissbrodt vacated a 2008 bankruptcy
court order that set aside the order of discharge for Warren
Alexander Bevan.  The 2008 Order stated that the discharge order
was inadvertently entered on July 2, 2003.  The City of San Jose
opposed the Debtor's request to vacate the 2008 Order.  Judge
Weissbrodt declined to determine whether San Jose's claim against
Mr. Bevan was discharged by the 2003 Discharge Order.  The judge
said it is readily apparent that the Court's original intent was
to allow the Debtor to receive a discharge, and the 2008 Order
contradicted that intent.

A copy of the Court's May 26, 2011 Memorandum Decision is
available at http://is.gd/NCOVA3from Leagle.com.

Warren Alexander Bevan filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition
(Bankr. N.D. Calif. Case No. 00-53249) on June 21, 2000.  The
Court on Nov. 5, 2002, entered an order granting a motion to
convert the Debtor's case to Chapter 7.  The Court entered an
order granting the Debtor a Chapter 7 discharge on July 2, 2003.


WASHINGTON MUTUAL: Says Newest Settlement Still Isn't Final
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Washington Mutual Inc. said in a footnote to a
bankruptcy court filing that there is still no definitive
agreement with regard to the "tentative settlement" with equity
holders announced May 24.  The settlement provides, among other
things, the existing preferred and common equity holders would
drop opposition to the most recently modified plan in return for
some of the new common stock.  The amount wasn't disclosed.

According to the report, WaMu once again warned that if there
isn't a final settlement agreement, it will go ahead seeking
approval of the prior plan at the currently scheduled June 29
confirmation hearing, although without the stock for existing
equity holders.  Changes made in the sixth version of the plan
required creditors to vote again in advance of the June 29
hearing.  The plan from March was the result of the bankruptcy
judge's 109-page opinion in January explaining why she couldn't
confirm a prior version.

                    About Washington Mutual

Based in Seattle, Washington, Washington Mutual Inc. --
http://www.wamu.com/-- is a holding company for Washington Mutual
Bank as well as numerous non-bank subsidiaries.

Washington Mutual Bank was taken over on Sept. 25, 2008, by U.S.
government regulators.  The next day, WaMu and its affiliate, WMI
Investment Corp., filed separate petitions for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. D. Del. 08-12229 and 08-12228, respectively).  WaMu owns
100% of the equity in WMI Investment.  When WaMu filed for
protection from its creditors, it disclosed assets of
$32,896,605,516 and debts of $8,167,022,695.  WMI Investment
estimated assets of $500 million to $1 billion with zero debts.

WaMu is represented by Brian Rosen, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal &
Manges LLP in New York City; Mark D. Collins, Esq., at Richards,
Layton & Finger P.A. in Wilmington, Del.; and Peter Calamari,
Esq., and David Elsberg, Esq., at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver &
Hedges, LLP.  The Debtor tapped Valuation Research Corporation as
valuation service provider for certain assets.

Fred S. Hodara, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Fled LLP in New
York City and David B. Stratton, Esq., at Pepper Hamilton LLP in
Wilmington, Del., represent the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  Stephen D. Susman, Esq., at Susman Godfrey LLP and
William P. Bowden, Esq., at Ashby & Geddes, P.A., represent the
Equity Committee.  The official committee of equity security
holders also tapped BDO USA as its tax advisor. Stacey R.
Friedman, Esq., at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Adam G. Landis,
Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP in Wilmington, Del., represent
JPMorgan Chase, which acquired the WaMu bank unit's assets prior
to the Petition Date.

On Jan. 7, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware entered a 107-page opinion determining that the global
settlement agreement, among certain parties including WMI, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., upon which the Plan is premised, and the transactions
contemplated therein, are fair, reasonable, and in the best
interests of WMI.  Additionally, the Opinion and related order
denied confirmation, but suggested certain modifications to the
Company's Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors that, if
made, would facilitate confirmation.

Washington Mutual has filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Modified
Sixth Amended Joint Plan and a related Supplemental Disclosure
Statement.  The Company believes that the Modified Plan has
addressed the Bankruptcy Court's concerns and looks forward to
returning to the Bankruptcy Court to seek confirmation of the
Modified Plan.


WEBBERVILLE VILLAGE: S&P Ups Rating on Series 1994 Bonds From 'BB'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating on
Webberville, Mich.'s series 1994 water and sewer bonds to 'BBB-'
from 'BB'. The outlook remains stable.

"The upgrade is due to the village's improved debt service
coverage through recently adopted multiyear rate increases," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Corey Friedman.

Credit weaknesses supporting the rating include S&P's view of the
village's:

    * Recent trend of insufficient annual debt service coverage,
      requiring the use of unrestricted cash to make annual debt
      service payments;

    * Significant depletion of cash reserves in recent years with
      management expecting improvement in cash; and

    * Significant rate increases, although approved for a
      multiple-year horizon.

These weaknesses are moderated by S&P's view of Webberville's:

    * Participation in the greater Ann Arbor, Mich., economic
      base; and

    * Good income levels in the village, as measured by median
      household effective buying income.

According to S&P, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation
that the utility will continue to make the necessary steps to
continue sustaining at least an adequate financial position, which
also includes adequate annual debt service coverage and liquidity
levels. Future rating direction will be predicated on such
actions. The utility's reversion to showing insufficient debt
service coverage and significant liquidity declines to pay debt
service could pressure the rating downward."


WINDSOR PLUMBING: M.D. Fla. Court Rules on Gov't Suit v. Owner
--------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Patricia C. Fawsett ruled on summary judgment
motions filed in the 13-year old suit, United States of America,
v. Sholam Weiss, et al., Case No. 6:98-cr-99-Orl-19KRS (M.D.
Fla.).  Sholam Weiss was convicted of various crimes, including
racketeering in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1961, et seq.  The jury found
that Mr. Weiss should forfeit specifically named properties and
money.  During the criminal trial Mr. Weiss admitted that he used
nominees to "hide out" from banks and judgment creditors.  The
Court has noted throughout the post-trial proceedings in the case
that Mr. Weiss typically used the modus operandi of installing
nominees to act as a front in name for Mr. Weiss's ownership
interests.

On Jan. 19, 2009, the Court entered a Preliminary Order of
Forfeiture for Substitute Assets belonging to Mr. Weiss in partial
satisfaction of the outstanding forfeiture money judgment.  The
substitute assets include real properties located at 255 Viola
Road, Monsey, New York and 65 East Concord Drive, Monsey, New
York.  Both of the properties are presently titled in the name of
Mr. Weiss's wife, Goldie Feig Weiss.

On Nov. 24, 2009, Ms. Feig filed a Petition of Innocent Ownership
to exclude the Viola Road and Concord Drive properties from
forfeiture.  Both the Government and Ms. Feig have moved for
summary judgment on the Petition, and Magistrate Judge Karla R.
Spaulding has entered a Report and Recommendation denying both
Motions.  Ms. Feig and the Government have filed objections to the
Report and Recommendations, and both parties' objections are
opposed by a response.

A copy of Judge Fawsett's May 27, 2011 Order is available at
http://is.gd/YWR6H8from Leagle.com.

Mr. Weiss was the President and sole shareholder of Windsor
Plumbing Supply, Inc.  In 1990, creditors filed a petition for
involuntary bankruptcy against Windsor.  On March 21, 1990, Mr.
Weiss filed a petition converting Windsor's involuntary Chapter 7
bankruptcy to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The petition listed 17
pending actions against Windsor and Mr. Weiss and indicated that
the bankruptcy involved $18 million in liabilities.


WOLVERINE TUBE: Sues to Stop Plainfield's Objection
---------------------------------------------------
Rachel Slajda at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Wolverine Tube
Inc. filed suit in Delaware on Friday against one of its
noteholders, Plainfield Asset Management LLC, seeking to stop it
from pulling critical support for Wolverine's reorganization plan.

According to Law360, Wolverine filed its complaint in Delaware
bankruptcy court to preempt Plainfield's objection, which was
filed Tuesday. Wolverine filed for bankruptcy protection in
November 2010 after attempts to effect an out-of-court financial
restructuring proved unsuccessful.

Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reported that Plainfield is refusing to
back down from its opposition to Wolverine Tube's reorganization
plan, making it "virtually impossible" for the company to confirm
the proposal unless it submits to changes, according to the
secured noteholder.

ZANETT INC: Delays Filing of First Quarter Form 10-Q
----------------------------------------------------
Zanett, Inc., said it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, within the
prescribed time period on or before May 16, 2011, due to the fact
that the Company was unable to finalize its unaudited financial
results as well as the disclosure requirements of Form 10-Q
without unreasonable expense or effort.  As a result, the Company
could not obtain the necessary review of the Form 10-Q and
signatures thereto in a timely fashion prior to the due date of
the Form 10-Q.

                         About Zanett Inc.

Based in New York, Zanett Inc. is an information technology
company that provides customized IT solutions to Fortune 500
corporations and mid-market companies.  Until the disposition of
Paragon Dynamics, Inc., the Company also provided those solutions
to classified government agencies.

Zanett Inc. in November 2010 said it remains in discussion
to replace its revolving credit facility with Bank of America.
Zanett was not in compliance with certain loan covenants as of
Sept. 30, 2010.  The credit facility matured on June 21, 2010.
The Company's line of credit was subject to a forbearance
agreement with BofA.

Zanett Inc. reported a net loss of $1.66 million on $48.04 million
of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $2.32 million on $41.37 million of revenue during the
prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2010 showed $28.29 million
in total assets, $22.69 million in total liabilities and $5.60
million in total stockholders' equity.

Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLP, in New York, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, following the 2010 financial results.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred a
significant loss from continuing operations, has a working capital
deficit and all of its outstanding debt is either currently
payable or payable within the next twelve months.


* Municipal Bondholders Face Less Risk Than Public Services
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that even if a much-feared
municipal finance crisis does materialize, concerns about the
impact on holders of municipal bonds might be misplaced.


* Conversions From Chapter 13 to 7 and Back to 13 Permissible
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that an individual in Chapter 7 has the right to convert
the case to Chapter 13 even though he had previously converted the
case from 13 to 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals in St. Louis ruled on
May 17.  The 8th Circuit in St. Louis followed a similar ruling in
March by the circuit's Bankruptcy Appellate Panel.  The new case
is Advance Control Solutions Inc. v. Justice, 10-3168, 8th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals (St. Louis).


* Private Employer May Deny Job Over Applicant's Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta is the second
circuit court in two months to rule that Section 525(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code does not prohibit a private employer from denying
employment on account of a job candidate's bankruptcy.  Federal
bankruptcy law prohibits private employers from firing someone on
account of bankruptcy.  Section 525(a) prohibits governmental
employers from denying a job to someone on account of bankruptcy.
The new case is Myers v. Toojay's Management Corp., 10-10774, 11th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (Atlanta).


* Second Detroit Judge Says Late Retainer Agreements OK
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that another U.S. district judge in Detroit visited the
question of whether a bankruptcy lawyer can be paid for services
if the client signed the retainer agreement more than five days
after services were first rendered.  U.S. District Judge Stephen
J. Murphy III, in an opinion on May 30, agreed with an April
opinion by U.S. District Judge David M. Lawson.  In different
cases involving the same law firm, the judges agreed that the
five-day requirement isn't "material."  If the five days allowed
for signing a retainer agreement were "material," the lawyer
couldn't be paid for representing the individuals in Chapter 13s.
The new case is B.O.C. Law Group PC v. Carroll (In re Galloway),
11-10380, (E.D. Mich.).


* Failure to Pay Taxes Alone Doesn't Prevent Discharge
------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati ruled on May
16 that not paying taxes for almost 10 years isn't evidence by
itself of a willful attempt at tax evasion.  Consequently, the
unpaid taxes were discharged in bankruptcy.  Section 523(a)(1)(C)
of the Bankruptcy Code says a tax debt isn't discharged when the
bankrupt "willfully attempted in any manner to evade or defeat
such tax."

Mr. Rochelle relates that the case involved an individual who
filed tax returns for the years 1994 through 2005 and failed to
pay any taxes for seven of the years.  She filed under Chapter 7
in 2002 and received a discharge in 2004.  The government sued her
in U.S. District Court in 2007 alleging that taxes for the years
1997 and earlier weren't discharged.

According to the report, the majority opinion, written by U.S.
District Judge Stephen J. Murphy, sitting by designation, said the
government failed to meet its burden of proof.  The government was
required to prove that the taxpayer evaded taxes "through acts of
omission" or "through acts of commission," he said.

The case is U.S. v. Storey, 09-3848, U.S. 6th Circuit Court of
Appeals (Cincinnati).


* Bankruptcy Case Tests Ruling by Fifth Circuit Chief Judge
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that 16 active judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals in New
Orleans heard reargument on May 23 in a case representing a
challenge to Chief Judge Edith H. Jones's ability to shape
bankruptcy law in the 5th Circuit.  Judge Jones, by placing
herself on many three-judge panels involving key bankruptcy
appeals, has helped to move 5th Circuit laws on corporate
reorganizations and individual bankruptcies in directions that
diverge from the other 10 U.S. courts of appeal.  The 5th circuit,
based in New Orleans, makes law binding on bankruptcy and district
courts in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

According to Mr. Rochelle, in the case reargued on May 23, Reed v.
City of Arlington, Judge Jones wrote the original opinion in
September for a three-judge panel.  Reversing a district judge,
Judge Jones barred a bankruptcy trustee from collecting a
$1 million judgment because the bankrupt, not the trustee,
committed a fraud.

Mr. Rochelle relates that the case involved a fireman who filed
for bankruptcy after he obtained judgment in excess of $1 million
against the city which had employed him.  He repeatedly failed to
disclose the judgment in his bankruptcy papers and was found out
only after the appeals court affirmed the judgment.  The
bankruptcy trustee sought to collect the judgment so the proceeds
could be used to pay creditors in full.  U.S. District Judge Terry
R. Means crafted a resolution that would have allowed the trustee
to collect enough to pay creditors fully while preventing the
bankrupt from getting anything.  When the case came to the circuit
court a second time on appeal, Judge Jones overturned Judge Means,
ruling that neither the trustee nor the bankrupt was entitled to
collect anything.

Judge Jones, according to Mr. Rochelle, said it wasn't proper to
"distinguish the debtor's conduct from the trustee in applying" a
legal principle called judicial estoppel.  Without citing case-law
authority, Judge Jones broadly stated that the trustee "succeeds
to the debtor's claim with all its attributes," including the
"potential for judicial estoppel."

During argument on May 23, Judge Jones indicated that she believed
her September ruling was correct.  By contrast, former Chief Judge
Carolyn D. King, a bankruptcy expert before being appointed to the
appeals court, lauded Judge Means for "how well he handled the
case."  Given how often bankrupts try to conceal property, Ms.
King questioned whether it would be proper to "vaporize the
assets" every time a bankrupt lies.

The Commercial Law League, Mr. Rochelle reported, said in a brief
seeking to overturn Judge Jones's opinion that her ruling didn't
follow a previously decided 5th Circuit case involving similar
facts, where the ruling went the other way.

According to Mr. Rochelle, among lawyers specializing in
bankruptcy reorganization, Judge Jones is most noted for her 2008
opinion in a case called Dynasty Oil & Gas LLC v. Citizens Bank
(In re United Operating LLC).  Her opinion, not followed in any
other circuit, ruled that a Chapter 11 plan must contain a
"specific and unequivocal" statement of all lawsuits to be
prosecuted after confirmation.  If not "expressly" listed, the
suit must be dismissed.  The result is to make it difficult for
creditors to increase recoveries by bringing lawsuits after
Chapter 11 reorganizations are completed.

Mr. Rochelle adds that in another opinion last year, Jones
reversed two lower courts and told the third-party buyers of
Scotia Pacific Co. and affiliate Pacific Lumber Co. that they must
pay an extra $29.7 million because the bankruptcy judge made a
mistake in calculating the amount owed to secured lenders for
using their collateral during the Chapter 11 case.

The case argued May 25 is Reed v. City of Arlington,
08-11098, 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (New Orleans).


* Exemption Can Be Waived Only With Survivorship Rights
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, Bloomberg News' bankruptcy columnist, reports that
according to a May 25 opinion from U.S. District Judge William T.
Lawrence in Terre Haute, Indiana, when husband and wife file
bankruptcy, one can elect not to take an exemption on property
owned as joint tenants with right of survivorship.  The case is
Lorenz v. Halcomb (In re Halcomb), 10-334, U.S. District Court,
Southern District Indiana (Terre Haute).

* BOOK REVIEW: All Organizations Are Public
-------------------------------------------
Author: Barry Bozeman
Publisher: Beard Books
Softcover: 201 pages
List Price: $34.95

Bozeman breaks down the simple, widely-accepted categorization of
organizations into either public or private, with the former being
government organizations and everything else, private.  This view
of the innumerable and widely varied organizations in all parts of
the United States has held up since at least the latter 1800s even
though it is demonstrably inapplicable.  It's plain that not all
government organizations are public; the CIA and FBI are but two
that can hardly be labeled this.  And not all other organizations
lumped into the category of private can be said to be this since
they operate in one way or another in the public domain and are
subject in varying ways to varying degrees to the public's
representative, namely the government.

Even in recent decades as government has grown ever larger and
more involved in all areas of the society and corporations have
become more expansive and changeable with globalization, the
simplistic, inaccurate division of public and private continues to
hold up.  The "sector blurring" Bozeman was seeing when he first
wrote this work in the 1980s has increased and accelerated, making
All Organizations Are Public a more relevant and useful guide to
understanding the topology and workings of today's organizations
that it was when it was first published.  The outsourcing of
certain tasks traditionally done by American servicemen and women
to civilian employees of a business organization is one current
example of operations and an organization which cannot fall neatly
into the public-private categorization.  The more complex
relationship-at times virtually a cooperation-between government
and corporations in the globalization of business is another
current example of the "sector blurring" prompting Bozeman to take
the measure of what was very noticeably happening with modern-day
organizations.  He not only reports what has been going on, but
also develops concepts and devises principles of use for corporate
strategists and managers as well as business school teachers,
entrepreneurs considering starting or expanding a business, and
government officials.

Bozeman's view of modern organizations rests not on the common and
changeable references of popular opinion, the marketplace of
ideas, or the phenomena of consumerism, but on the central social
reality of "political authority."  In doing away with the
conventional, yet misleading categories of public and private,
Bozeman does not leave the reader with a vague, cosmic-like view
of the field of organizations.  The two categories are replaced
with an interrelated set of axioms and corollaries bringing a
logic and order to the vast and diverse world of organizations.
The first axiom is, "Publicness is not a discrete quality but a
multidimensional property.  An organization is public to the
extent that it exerts or is constrained by political authority."
The first corollary to this is, "An organization is private to the
extent that it exerts or is constrained by economic activity."

Bozeman recognizes that government-i.e., "public"-and
organizations formed or owned by regular citizens-i.e., "private"-
do have differences. They come into being from different motives
and different purposes, and they are related to the public in
different ways and operate differently.  Nonetheless, the
structure and operations of all organizations are affected, and in
some cases determined, by the overriding political authority.  In
Bozeman's conception, "publicness refers to the degree to which
the organization is affected by political authority."  Some are
tightly controlled by this political authority, while others are
barely touched by it.  But no organization is entirely free of
such authority.  With his axioms and corollaries, Bozeman gives
principles and characteristics for apprehending the nature of
particular organizations.

Today's research and development (R&D) organizations are a kind of
organization that the conventional public-private categorization
cannot begin to make sense of.  "Research and development
organizations provide a fertile ground for analysis of dimensions
of publicness."  As hybrids involving aspects of universities,
government, and industry, R&D organizations are playing important
economic and social roles in such areas as health, the
environment, demographics, and welfare.  Many are located at
universities and run by faculty members.  Many corporations have
R&D divisions.

The value and relevance of Bozeman's key factor of political
authority is seen especially with respect to R&D organizations.
Current government policies on stem cell research demonstrate how
Bozeman's central factor of "political authority" is applied to
understand any particular organization engaged in such research.
It's a matter of where an organization falls in the spectrum of
degrees of being affected by political authority, not the
uninformative, sterile decision as to whether an organization
should be labeled public or private.

Bozeman's view of organizations takes into account the reality
that the term "private" has little meaning with respect to
organizations.  All organizations, like all citizens, are subject
to the political authority somehow, notably the laws and
regulations.  But Bozeman is not interested simply in arguing for
a new theory of organizations.  His "multidimensional view of
publicness" in tune with the complexity, diversity, and changes
among today's organizations can help readers more effectively
steer and develop their own organization and work with other
organizations.

Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or

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

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-
