AEROGROW INTERNATIONAL: Lazarus Discloses 59% Equity Stake
----------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Lazarus Investment Partners LLLP and its
affiliates disclosed that, as of Nov. 28, 2011, they beneficially
own 27,740,051 shares of common stock of AeroGrow International,
Inc., representing 59% of the shares outstanding.  A full-text
copy of the filing is available at http://is.gd/mQRKZs

                           Abut AeroGrow

Boulder, Colo.-based AeroGrow International, Inc., is a developer,
marketer, direct-seller, and wholesaler of advanced indoor garden
systems designed for consumer use and priced to appeal to the
gardening, cooking, and healthy eating, and home and office dDor
markets.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $4.5 million
in total assets, $8.8 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $4.3 million.

As reported in the TCR on Aug. 30, 2011, Eide Bailly LLP, in
Fargo, North Dakota, expressed substantial doubt about AeroGrow
International's ability to continue as a going concern, following
the Company's results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.
The independent auditors said the Company does not currently have
sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated working capital, debt
service and other liquidity needs in the near term.


AGE REFINING: Trustee to Ask Court to Approve Plan on Dec. 9
------------------------------------------------------------
On Nov. 14, 2011, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John C. Akard approved the
Third Amended Disclosure Statement, which was filed by Eric J.
Moeller, the court-appointed Chapter 11 Trustee in the bankruptcy
case of Age Refining, Inc., regarding the Trustee's Third Amended
Chapter 11 Plan for the Debtor, dated Nov. 8, 2011.

The Trustee will ask the Bankruptcy Court to approve the Plan at a
hearing on Dec. 9, 2011, at 2:00 p.m.

The Court fixed Dec. 6, 2011, at 5:00 p.m. as the last day and
time for submitting ballots accepting or rejecting the Plan.
Written objections to confirmation of the Plan will be filed on or
before Dec. 6, 2011.

The Plan contemplates the payment of Allowed Claims from proceeds
generated through the previously consummated and Court approved
transactions: [1] the Trustee sold substantially all of the
Estate's Refining Assets located in San Antonio and Falls City to
NuStar Refining, LLC, on April 19, 2011, pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Court's April 14, 2011 Order (Docket No. 913); and [2]
the Trustee sold substantially all of the Estate's Redfish Bay
Assets in San Patricio County (Aransas Pass/Ingleside) to TexStar
Midstream Transport, LP, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's Order
of May 20, 2011 (Docket No. 978) and the sale also closed on
May 20, 2011.

Chase Capital has been paid $40,212,084 under the Chase Capital
Credit Agreement.  This is the full amount of its Allowed
prepetition claim, except for post-petition interest and other
charges.  Chase Capital sought payment of postpetition interest in
an amount greater than $6 million.

Under the terms of the Chase Settlement, approved Nov. 2, 2011,
Chase Capital received $200,000 upon entry of the aforementioned
order.  It will receive an additional amount, not to exceed
$3,415,000 to the extent of and out of the Specified Collateral.
The terms of the compromise and settlement are set out more fully
in Section IV.F.10 of the Disclosure Statement.  The Trustee's
estimate of Class 3 Unpaid Claims to Chase Capital is $3,615,000.
Estimated Recovery is 71%.

Holders of general unsecured claims, owed between $8-10 million,
based on the estimate of the Trustee, will receive their pro rata
share of the cash, if any, transferred to the Liquidating Trust
less the amount set aside as the Liquidating Trust Reserve.
Estimated recovery is unknown.

Subordinated claims will not receive or retain and property on
account of their claims.  All AGE Refining Interests of any kind
will be canceled as of the Effective Date and will not receive or
retain and property under the Plan.

Under the Plan, only Chase Capital in Class 3 and general
unsecured claimants in Class 4 are entitled to vote.  All other
Classes are either unimpaired or deemed to reject the Plan.

                        About Age Refining

Age Refining, Inc. owns a refinery in San Antonio, Texas.  It

petition.  David S. Gragg, Esq., and Steven R. Brook, Esq., at

fiduciary duty by dipping into Company coffers for his personal
use while paying himself an excessive salary and stock
distributions.

Esq., and Allen M. DeBard, Esq., at Langley & Banack, Inc., in San
Antonio, Tex., serve as general counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee.


ALEXANDER PROPERTIES: Patapsco Bank Response Deadline Extended

the motion of Alexander Properties, L.L.C. for stay pending appeal
of the order denying approval of disclosure statement.  The bank's
deadline to file a response is extended further to Jan. 12, 2012.

ALLCARE DENTAL: Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
----------------------------------------------
Allcare Dental Management, Inc., and 14 related companies have
filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of New York in Buffalo, New York.

The Allcare companies previously operated dental clinics at
multiple locations in thirteen states.  Although some of their
locations closed earlier, most of the dental chain closed in
December 2010, when the companies were unable to obtain enough new
financing or equity investments to continue in business.

The Bankruptcy Court has announced that an "initial meeting of
creditors", also known as a "Section 341 Meeting," will be held on
Dec. 12, 2011, at 1:00 p.m., at the United States Trustee's
Office, Olympic Towers, 300 Pearl Street, 4th Floor, in Buffalo,
New York 14202.  The purpose of this meeting is to permit the
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustee to ask Allcare representatives
questions about the assets and liabilities of the Allcare
companies and the reasons for their bankruptcy filings. Creditors
are permitted to attend this meeting and may be permitted to ask
questions, but this meeting has nothing to do with the process of
filing a claim for payment in these bankruptcy cases.

Since going out of business, the Allcare companies have been
liquidating their assets and attempting to collect from former
patients and insurance companies amounts which are owed for dental
services rendered before the store closings. These collection
efforts and asset sales will continue in Chapter 7.

Chief United States Bankruptcy Judge Carl L. Bucki has instructed
that no creditors of these companies should file a claim for
payment in these bankruptcy cases at this time and no deadline for
the filing such claims has been set by the Court. He has directed
that if it is determined at some future date that sufficient
assets have been collected to permit a distribution to creditors,
then notice will be sent to the last known address of each known
potential creditor of the Allcare companies, notifying them where
and by when they must file any claims.

The following are the names and case numbers of the Allcare
companies which have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcies: Allcare Dental
Management, Inc., Case No. 11- 13848-CLB, Allcare Dental
Management, LLC (f/k/a Allcare, LLC), Case No. 1 1-13850 CLB,

ALLEN FAMILY: Court OKs Stipulation Allowing C&S Set-Off
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved a
stipulation authorizing Allen Family Foods, Inc., et al., to
setoff mutual debts and modify the automatic stay.

The stipulation entered between the Debtors and C&S Wholesale
Grocers, Inc., provided for, among other things:

   -- C&S is obligated to pay the Debtor $55,396 for goods

ALLIED IRISH: Files Interim Management Statement
------------------------------------------------
Allied Irish Banks reported that in the second half of 2011 to
date, it has been working hard to continuously improve customer
service, structure, processes and practices in the now merged
AIB/EBS.  This work is being done in circumstances where difficult
trading conditions are continuing to affect the bank's financial
performance.

OVERVIEW

Progress is being made in a number of key areas:

   * New CEO and Transformation Director appointments announced.

   * Recapitalisation required under the 2011 Prudential Capital
     Assessment Review now completed.  AIB's capital adequacy
     subsequently confirmed by the most recent European Banking
     Authority (EBA) stress tests announcement.

   * Customer deposits have stabilised.

   * Non core deleveraging of EUR10.7 billion, over 50% of end
     2013 deleveraging target has been achieved, strong pipeline
     for more disposals by year end.  Total overall reduction of
     c. EUR46 billion in loans, from  c. EUR147 billion to c.
     EUR101 billion, over 21 months period to the end of September
     2011.

   * Improved customer access to products and services

   * Extensive and increasing support being provided to customers
     in difficulty.

   * EBS is being successfully aligned and integrated.

TRADING UPDATE

   * The Irish economy is showing encouraging signs of growth
     driven by increased competitiveness. There has been an
     improvement in market sentiment towards Ireland due to
     Government's impressive adherence to EU/IMF programme
     conditions.  However, challenging environment remains in many
     domestic sectors, demand being affected by strict and
     continuing austerity measures.  The future economic
     performance in Ireland will be strongly influenced by events
     in Europe, where conditions are currently volatile and
     uncertain.

   * Liability Management Exercises, higher levels of capital and
     no utilisation of higher cost, non standard Central Bank
     facilities since April have helped stabilise the Company's
     net interest margin in the third quarter, compared to the
     half year figure. However, income pressures persist and may
     intensify in a lower interest rate environment.

   * Net income continues to be negatively affected by elevated
     costs of deposits and funding and Government Guarantee costs.
     As deleveraging continues, reliance on ECB facilities should
     reduce which is welcome but will further emphasise the higher
     cost of customer deposits.

   * Lower earning loan volumes as impaired loans continue to
     increase and volume of new business continues to be affected
     by muted customer demand.

   * Costs are broadly stable in the 9 months to September vs same
     period in 2010, lower staff costs have been offset by higher
     restructuring and transformation costs and also higher cost
     of resources required to work with customers in difficulty.
     Negotiations are ongoing to find agreement on a severance
     programme that is acceptable to all stakeholders.

ASSET QUALITY

   * Impaired loans have continued to increase across business and
     personal sectors, levels of arrears in the mortgage book
     increased in the third quarter for both AIB and EBS.

   * Expected bad debt provisions for 2011 will reflect the
     continued asset quality deterioration. The provisions that
     AIB incurs in 2011 will also reflect the Central Bank of
     Ireland's guidance* that banks should adopt a more
     conservative and prudent approach to provisioning, to the
     extent possible within International Financial Reporting
     Standards (IFRS).

   * The bad debt provisions for 2011 should position AIB to
     reduce its bad debt charge in 2012.  The outlook for 2012 and
     beyond will be influenced by the domestic and international
     economic environment.

   * NAMA transfers completed in October, EUR20.4bn in total
     transferred at an overall discount of c. 55%.

CUSTOMER ACTIVITY AND FUNDING

   * Improving customer access to products and services, taking
     steps to simplify the credit application and fulfilment
     process to better satisfy customer requirements. Recruiting,
     training and deploying staff to engage and deliver in
     locations and at times that suit our customers.

   * Committed to continue providing a range of highly competitive
     products and services to customers, including lowest priced
     variable rate mortgages.

   * In the year to date, AIB/EBS has supported over 12,000
     customers in difficulty with mortgage repayments on their
     homes.  Identifying and will speedily implement further
     solutions for the Company's customers under the Mortgage
     Arrears Resolution Strategy.

   * Over 800 dedicated staff (an increase of 200 in last 6
     months) are assigned to specialised lending units around the
     country, managing 29,000 SME customers in difficulty.

   * Deposits have been stable in recent months, particularly
     since recapitalisation completed in July.  Some early signs
     of balances increasing, though competition is intense and
     pricing very high.

   * Value of EBS brand underlined by the strong resilience of its
     deposits.

NON-CORE DELEVERAGING

    * To date, AIB has exceeded the 2011 objectives agreed with
      the Central Bank of Ireland as part of the Financial
      Measures Programme in terms of amount delevered, overall
      cumulative haircut achieved and total capital impact.

   * Achieved EUR10.7 billion of non core deleveraging by the end
     of October 2011 through execution of a controlled strategy,
     featuring asset disposals, repayments and redemptions and
     increased provisioning.

   * Asset disposals comprised principally property, project and
     leveraged finance assets located in the United States and
     Europe.

   * Disposals achieved at better discounts than those assumed in
     the base case of the Financial Measures Programme and the
     capital impact of disposals to date has been broadly neutral.

   * The pipeline for further asset disposals to year end remains
     strong, containing over ?1bn, subject to market conditions.

   * Repayments and redemptions to date principally in overseas
     locations.  Achieved through a deliberate strategy to
     accelerate run-off and amortisation of non core assets
     located abroad, thereby minimising losses and preserving
     capital.

   * The non-core team continues to prepare the pipeline for
     further non-core asset disposals.

CAPITAL

   * Following completion of the recapitalisation programme, AIB
     is adequately capitalised as underlined by the recent EBA
     tests of European banks. At end of September,  AIB's core
     tier one capital ratio was c. 20%.

                     About Allied Irish Banks

Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. -- http://www.aibgroup.com/-- is a
major commercial bank based in Ireland.  It has an extensive
branch network across the country, a head office in Dublin and a
capital markets operation based in the International Financial
Services Centre in Dublin.  AIB also has retail and corporate
businesses in the UK, offices in Europe and a subsidiary company
in the Isle of Man and Jersey (Channel Islands).

Since the onset of the global and Irish financial crisis, AIB's
relationship with the Irish Government has changed significantly.

As at Dec. 31, 2010, the Government, through the National Pension
Reserve Fund Commission ("NPRFC"), held 49.9% of the ordinary
shares of the Company (the share of the voting rights at
shareholders' general meetings), 10,489,899,564 convertible non-
voting ("CNV") shares and 3.5 billion 2009 Preference Shares.  On
April 8, 2011, the NPRFC converted the total outstanding amount of
CNV shares into 10,489,899,564 ordinary shares of AIB, thereby
increasing its holding to 92.8% of the ordinary share capital.

In addition to its shareholders' interests, the Government's
relationship with AIB is reflected through formal and informal
oversight by the Minister and the Department of Finance and the
Central Bank of Ireland, representation on the Board of Directors
(three non-executive directors are Government nominees),
participation in NAMA, and otherwise.

As reported by the TCR on May 31, 2011, KPMG, in Dublin, Ireland,
noted that there are a number of material economic, political and
market risks and uncertainties that impact the Irish banking
system, including the Company's continued ability to access
funding from the Eurosystem and the Irish Central Bank to meet its
liquidity requirements, that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company reported a net loss of EUR10.16 billion on
EUR1.84 billion of interest income for 2010, compared with a net
loss of EUR2.33 billion on $2.87 billion of interest income for
2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed
EUR126.87 billion in total assets, EUR120.01 billion in total
liabilities, and EUR6.86 billion in total shareholders' equity
including non-controlling interests.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Boeing Exec. Sees Renegotiating Aircraft Leases
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that a senior Boeing
Co. executive said Wednesday that he expects the parent of
American Airlines to seek fresh aircraft lease terms, a move that
could extend a huge aircraft order announced just five months
before the U.S. carrier filed for bankruptcy protection.

                      About American Airlines

AMR Corp. and its subsidiaries including American Airlines, the
third largest airline in the United States, filed for bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 11-15463) in Manhattan
on Nov. 29, 2011, after failing to secure cost-cutting labor
agreements.

AMR, previously the world's largest airline prior to mergers by
other airlines, is the last of the so-called U.S. legacy airlines
to seek court protection from creditors.

American Airlines, American Eagle and the AmericanConnection
carrier serve 260 airports in more than 50 countries and
territories with, on average, more than 3,300 daily flights.  The
combined network fleet numbers more than 900 aircraft.

The Company reported a net loss of $884 million on $18.02
billion of total operating revenues for the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2011.  AMR recorded a net loss of $471 million in the
year 2010, a net loss of $1.5 billion in 2009, and a net loss of
$2.1 billion in 2008.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$24.72 billion in total assets, $29.55 billion in total
liabilities, and a $4.83 billion stockholders' deficit.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Asks for Feb. 11 Extension of Schedules
----------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. and its affiliates ask the bankruptcy court to extend
until February 11, 2012, the period to file their (i) schedules of
assets and liabilities, (ii) schedules of executory contracts and
unexpired leases, and (iii) statements of financial affairs.

The Debtors are expected to file their schedules and statements on
Dec. 13, but they anticipate that they will be unable to complete
their schedules by that date.

The Debtors also seek additional time to file their initial
reports of financial information in respect of entities in which
their Chapter 11 estates hold a controlling or substantial
interest, as set forth in Rule 2015.3 of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedures until 60 days after the meeting of creditors
to be held pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.

According to Stephen Karotkin, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges
LLP, in New York, the Debtors' primary focus has been on filing
the large complex cases and reacting to the trauma of filing.
Given the amount of work entailed in completing the Schedules and
the competing demands on the Debtors' employees and professionals
to assist in efforts to stabilize business operations during the
initial postpetition period, the Debtors likely will not be able
to properly and accurately complete the Schedules within the
required 14-day time period, he tells the Court.

Mr. Karotkin adds that extending the deadline for the initial Rule
2015.3 Reports also will enable the Debtors to work with their
financial advisors and the Office of the U.S. Trustee to determine
the appropriate nature and scope of the 2015.3 Reports and any
proposed modifications to the reporting requirements established
by Bankruptcy Rule 2015.3.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Tom Horton is Chairman and CEO Postpetition
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of AMR Corporation named Thomas W. Horton
chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, succeeding
Gerard Arpey, who informed the Board of his decision to retire.
Horton will also succeed Arpey as chairman and chief executive
officer of American.  Mr. Horton will continue to serve as
President of AMR and American.

". . . .  we entered a new phase in the evolution of this great
company with a talented and experienced new leader, Tom Horton,
succeeding Gerard Arpey, who skillfully led our company through
some of its most challenging times," said Armando M. Codina, lead
independent director of AMR.  "With more than 22 years at
American, Tom is ideally suited to guide the company through this
next important period.  Tom's experience in a different company
and industry gives him a unique blend of experience and
objectivity that will serve the company well as we work through
this process to achieve a competitive cost structure.  The Board
has great confidence that, together, Tom and the industry's best
workforce and management team will reaffirm American's position of
pride and leadership among global airlines.

"For 30 years Gerard Arpey has given his all to this company,
especially during the last decade," Mr. Codina continued.  "Gerard
is a person of exceptional integrity, intelligence and commitment,
and he helped our company to achieve amazing things against
sometimes staggering odds.  Although we had asked that he continue
to lead American, we understand and respect his decision to retire
and entrust the company he loves to a new leader for a new time.
This Board will always be grateful for Gerard's unwavering
commitment to what is best for the company."

"It is a privilege and an honor to lead this company and I intend
to do everything in my power to help restore its position of
leadership in the global airline industry," said Mr. Horton.
"This is a difficult business in the best of times, and I cannot
think of anyone I would rather have worked with or had as a friend
for over two decades than Gerard Arpey.  He is not only a great
business leader; he is also a man of honor.  With characteristic
selflessness, he decided it was time for a new leader to take the
company forward and I am grateful for his -- and our Board's --
confidence. I know we can all count on Gerard's friendship and
encouragement as we work to reaffirm American's place among the
world's premier airlines."

"The process launched will no doubt require far-ranging and
sometimes difficult change, but it represents an opportunity to
rebuild American in a way that assures its ability to compete in a
changed world," Mr. Arpey said.  "I appreciate the Board's
confidence in me, but I also believe that executing on this plan
requires a new leader for a new time.  That is why I informed the
Board of my decision to retire and, with my enthusiastic support,
the Board decided to appoint Tom as CEO.  It has been an honor to
serve this company alongside the men and women of American
Airlines who have met challenge after challenge with perseverance,
skill, determination, and grace.  I know they will continue to do
so."

ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: Amends Plan to Exit Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Co. grocery chain amended its plan to exit
bankruptcy, incorporating a new settlement that will cut into
recoveries for the vast majority of unsecured creditors.

                    About Atlantic & Pacific

Founded in 1859, Montvale, New Jersey-based Great Atlantic &
Pacific is a supermarket retailer, operating under a variety of
well-known trade names, or "banners" across the mid-Atlantic and
Northeastern United States.  Before filing for bankruptcy in 2010,
A&P operated 429 stores in 8 states and the District of Columbia
under the following trade names: A&P, Waldbaum's, Pathmark,
Pathmark Sav-a-Center, Best Cellars, The Food Emporium, Super
Foodmart, Super Fresh and Food Basics.  A&P had 41,000 employees
prior to the bankruptcy filing.

A&P and its affiliates filed Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 10-24549) on Dec. 12, 2010, in White Plains, New York.
In its petition, A&P reported total assets of $2.5 billion and
liabilities of $3.2 billion as of Sept. 11, 2010.

Paul M. Basta, Esq., James H.M. Sprayregen, Esq., and Ray C.
Schrock, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, in New York, and James J.
Mazza, Jr., Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in Chicago, Illinois,
serve as counsel to the Debtors.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC
is the claims and notice agent.  Lazard Freres & Co. LLC is the
financial advisor.  Huron Consulting Group is the management
consultant.  Dennis F. Dunne, Esq., Matthew S. Barr, Esq., and
Abhilash M. Raval, Esq., at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP,
represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

A&P obtained court approval for a new contract with C&S Wholesale
Grocers Inc., its principal supplier.  The contract is designed to
save A&P $50 million a year when the supermarket operator emerges
from Chapter 11 reorganization.

A&P sold 12 Super-Fresh stores in the Baltimore-Washington area
for $37.83 million, plus the value of inventory.  Thirteen other
locations didn't attract buyers at auction and were closed mid-
July 2011.

A&P filed a proposed Chapter 11 plan founded upon a $490 million
debt and equity financing announced this month.  The proposed
financing, tentatively approved by the bankruptcy judge, allows
A&P to accept a better offer if one appears.  New investors
sponsoring the plan include Yucaipa Cos., Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
and Mount Kellett Capital Management LP.


AURA SYSTEMS: Files Form S-1, Registers 13 Million Common Shares
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aura Systems, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

BARRINGTON BROADCASTING: Moody's Rates $10-Mil. Revolver at 'B2'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investor Services assigned B2 ratings and LGD3 -- 34%
assessments to Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC's ("Barrington")
proposed $10 Million Senior Secured 1st Lien Revolver and $185
Million Senior Secured 1st Lien Term Loan B. The new credit
facilities will be used to refinance the existing senior secured
revolver due August 2012, senior secured term loan B due August
2013 and senior subordinated notes due August 2014. In addition,
Moody's revised the Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to B3 from
B2 reflecting the all bank debt structure and Moody's expectations
for a 65% recovery in a distress scenario. Moody's also affirmed
the B2 CFR and Speculative Grade Liquidity (SGL) Rating at SGL --
3. The rating outlook is stable.

Assignments:

   Issuer: Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC

   -- New $10 Million Senior Secured 1st Lien Revolver: Assigned

   Issuer: Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC

   -- Probability of Default Rating: Downgraded to B3 from B2

Unchanged:

   -- Corporate Family Rating: Affirmed B2

Outlook Actions:

   Issuer: Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC

   -- Outlook is Stable

To be withdrawn upon repayment at the close of the transaction:

   Issuer: Barrington Broadcasting Group LLC

   -- $17.5 Million Senior Secured Revolver due August 2012: B1,
      LGD3 -- 34%

   -- $147.5 Million Senior Secured First Lien Term Loan B due

   -- $125 Million 10.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due August
      2014 ($54.94 Million outstanding): Caa1, LGD5 -- 88%

RATINGS RATIONALE

Barrington's B2 corporate family rating incorporates its
moderately high, trailing 8 quarter pro forma debt-to-EBITDA ratio
of just under 5.0x at year end 2011 (including Moody's standard
adjustments, or approximately 5.4x based on trailing 4 quarters)
which Moody's expects to reduce to approximately 4.3x (on a
trailing 8 quarter basis) by year end 2012. Moderately high
leverage poses challenges for managing a business vulnerable to
advertising spending cycles. Lack of scale also constrains the
rating, although the company benefits from a diverse station
portfolio in terms of both geography and network affiliations.
These broadcast properties combined with Barrington's continued
local market focus and attractive margins create the capacity to
generate good unlevered cash flow; however, the company faces
heightened competition for advertising dollars due to media
fragmentation. Ratings also reflect Moody's expectations for the
company to continue the recent trend of paying down debt using
unlevered free cash flow and maintain modest liquidity over the
rating horizon. Moody's notes that the proposed credit agreement
has a 100% excess cash flow sweep whenever total leverage exceeds
3.5x (as defined). As expected, Barrington's management has been
opportunistic in the refinancing its revolver and term loan prior
to their August 2012 and August 2013, respective maturities.
Ratings are constrained by the event risk associated with the
ownership of companies by financial sponsors. The company is also
refinancing the $2.3 million Sagamore Hill term loan and the $6.8
million Tucker term loan which will continue to be guaranteed by
Barrington.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Barrington
will maintain two year average debt-to-EBITDA ratios below 5.25x
(including Moody's standard adjustments) and generate free cash
flow-to-debt of 5% or more. The stable outlook also assumes
application of free cash flow to debt repayment, along with EBITDA
growth from local advertising and the company's digital platform,
will enable Barrington to further improve its financial metrics.

Ratings could be downgraded if two-year average debt-to-EBITDA
ratios are sustained above 5.75x (including Moody's standard
adjustments) or if deterioration in operating performance results
in free cash flow ratios falling below 5%. Ratings could also be
downgraded if liquidity were to become strained or Barrington were
no longer able to comply with financial maintenance covenants due
to poor performance, cash dividends, or share repurchases.
Barrington's moderately high leverage and lack of scale limit
upward momentum; however, ratings could be upgraded if a reduction
in absolute debt or improvement in operating performance leads to
expectations for two-year average leverage being sustained
comfortably under 4.25x (incorporating Moody's standard
adjustments) and management showed a commitment to financial
policies consistent with the higher rating. An upgrade would also
require expectations for good liquidity maintenance.

The principal methodology used in rating Barrington Broadcasting
Group LLC was the Global Broadcast Industry Methodology published
in June 2008. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.

Barrington Broadcasting Group, LLC, headquartered in Hoffman
Estates, Illinois, owns or programs 24 network television stations
in 15 markets. Barrington focuses on small to mid-sized markets
ranked #69 - #199 across the United States and all of the
company's primary digital streams are affiliated with networks
including NBC (6 stations), ABC (6 stations), CBS (4 stations),
Fox (3 stations) and CW (5 stations). Barrington has been a
portfolio company of Pilot Group since the broadcaster was founded
2003. Net revenues for the 12 months ended September 30, 2011
totaled $123 million.


BENJAMIN B. VITI: Tenant Directed to Pay Portion of Legal Fees
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Arthur N. Votolato granted, in part, and denied,
in part, Benjamin B. Viti's motion to adjudge Frank Mattos, d/b/a
Mattos & Associates, LLC, in willful contempt for failing to
comply with certain terms of the Court's May 12, 2011 Order.

On March 11, 2011, after what may conservatively be described as a
mutually antagonistic landlord/tenant relationship, and after a
lot of acrimonious litigation, Messrs. Viti and Mattos purportedly
reached a settlement agreement.  The amount of distrust that has
existed between these parties is seen in their insistence on
immediately putting in writing and executing a handwritten
agreement, rather than risk a "breakdown of the settlement
discussions pending the drafting of a typewritten document."

The agreement required, among other things, for the parties to
dismiss and release all of their claims.  Also, Mr. Mattos agreed
to make a $25,937 single payment to Mr. Viti, and to vacate the
property by April 10, 2011, leaving all fixtures in place, except
for certain specific items noted in the agreement.  Mr. Viti would
prepare and file a Joint Motion to Compromise, along with a
proposed Consent Order.

The motion was filed on March 23, 2011, and a hearing was held on
April 6, 2011.  Because Mr. Mattos neither appeared at the April 6
hearing nor filed an opposition, the Motion was granted upon a
finding that the settlement, as represented, was fair and
reasonable.  On April 10, Mr. Mattos vacated the property, but he
failed to deliver any money or return the keys to the property.
On April 25, 2011, a Proposed Order was submitted, and on May 12,
2011, after the expiration of the objection period, the Order was
entered. Again, Mr. Mattos did nothing.

On May 26, 2011, after still more posturing, Mr. Viti filed a
motion to adjudge Mattos in contempt. On Sept. 28, 2011, five days
prior to the hearing on the Contempt Motion, Mr. Mattos delivered
a check to Mr. Viti for $25,937, erroneously assuming that this
litigation would thereby be ended.  The hearing on the contempt
motion went forward as scheduled.

In a Nov. 29 Decision and Order, available at http://is.gd/25IuQ1
from Leagle.com, Judge Votolato noted the Court is mindful that
Mr. Mattos's delaying tactics resulted in additional legal fees,
as Mr. Viti repeatedly made efforts to collect his money. "I find
Mattos to be in technical contempt and order him to pay one-half
of the legal fees incurred by Viti in his collection efforts.
After examining his itemized bill, the Court sets $2,500 as a
reasonable estimate, Mattos is ordered to pay said amount to Viti
within five days, and he is directed to turn over all remaining
keys to the property, simultaneously," the judge said.

CALYPTE BIOMEDICAL: Incurs $296,000 Net Loss in June 30 Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Calypte Biomedical Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $296,000 on $135,000 of product sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $686,000
on $59,000 of product sales for the same period during the prior
year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $195,000 on $398,000 of
product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared
with a net loss of $1.23 million on $190,000 of product sales for
the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $2.20 million
in total assets, $6.81 million in total liabilities and a $4.61
million total stockholders' deficit.

                      About Calypte Biomedical

Portland, Oregon-based Calypte Biomedical Corporation develops,
manufactures, and distributes in vitro diagnostic tests, primarily
for the diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus ("HIV")
infection.

Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi & Co. LLP, in San Francisco,
California, expressed substantial doubt about Calypte Biomedical's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company has suffered recurring operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations, and management believes that
the Company's cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain its
operations through 2011 without additional financing.

"At Dec. 31, 2010, and 2009, we had working capital deficits of
$3.5 million and $16.6 million, respectively, the Company said in
the filing.  "As of Dec. 31, 2009, the $11.6 million outstanding
under our Credit Facility and Convertible Notes was under default.
Our cash on hand and existing sources of cash are insufficient to
fund our cash needs over the next twelve months under our current
capital structure."

The Company recorded a gain on transfer of assets of $2.3 million
and a gain on restructuring of notes of $8.5 million in 2010,
absent in 2009.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company does not have any long term agreement for capital
infusion at this point in time.  As the Company's cash flows from
its operating and investing activities are currently not adequate
to sustain its operations, if the Company is unable to raise
capital, the Company will likely be unable to continue its
operations.  Failure to obtain additional financing will likely
cause the Company to seek bankruptcy protection under Chapter 7 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

CELL THERAPEUTICS: Has $4 Million Net Profit in October
-------------------------------------------------------
Cell Therapeutics, Inc., provided information pursuant to a
request from the Italian securities regulatory authority, CONSOB,
pursuant to Article 114, Section 5 of the Unified Financial Act,
that the Company issue at the end of each month a press release
providing a monthly update of certain information relating to the
Company's management and financial situation.

The Company estimated net profit attributable to common
shareholders of $4.01 million on $0 of net revenue for the month
ended Oct. 31, 2011, compared with a net loss attributable to
common shareholders of $20.25 million on $0 of net revenue during
the prior month.

                     About Cell Therapeutics

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Cell Therapeutics, Inc.
(NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) -- http://www.CellTherapeutics.com/-- is a
bi4opharmaceutical company committed to developing an integrated
portfolio of oncology products aimed at making cancer more
treatable.

The Company reported a net loss of $82.64 million on $319,000 of
revenue for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $82.64 million on $80,000 of total revenue during the same
period in 2009.

The Company also reported a net loss attributable to CTI of
$53.39 million on $0 of revenue for the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss attributable to CTI of
$62.92 million on $319,000 of total revenues for the same period
during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$62.85 million in total assets, $33.89 million in total
liabilities, $13.46 million in common stock purchase warrants, and
$15.49 million total shareholders' equity.

Marcum LLP, in San Francisco, Calif., expressed substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in its
audit reports for the financial statements for 2009 and 2010.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred losses
since its inception, and has a working capital deficiency of
approximately $14.2 million at Dec. 31, 2010.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company has incurred losses since inception and expect to
generate losses for the next few years primarily due to research
and development costs for Pixuvri, OPAXIO, tosedostat,
brostallicin and bisplatinates.

If the Company receives approval of Pixuvri by the European
Medicines Agency or the Food and Drug Administration, the Company
would anticipate additional commercial expenses associated with
Pixuvri operations.  Accordingly, the Company will need to raise
additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of
equity or debt financing.  The Company may seek to raise such
capital through public or private equity financings, partnerships,
joint ventures, disposition of assets, debt financings or
restructurings, bank borrowings or other sources of financing.
However, additional funding may not be available on favorable
terms or at all.  If additional funds are raised by issuing equity
securities, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may
result.  If the Company fails to obtain additional capital when
needed, the Company may be required to delay, scale back, or
eliminate some or all of its research and development programs and
may be forced to cease operations, liquidate its assets and
possibly seek bankruptcy protection.


CCO HOLDINGS: Moody's Rates Proposed $750-Mil. Notes at 'B1'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to the proposed
$750 million issuance of senior unsecured notes due 2020 of CCO
Holdings, LLC (CCO Holdings), an indirect intermediate holding
company of Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter) and Ba3 rated
CCH II, LLC (legal entity at which Moody's houses the benchmark
fundamental Corporate Family Rating). The company plans to use
proceeds primarily to tender for second lien bonds of Charter
Communications Operating, LLC (CCO) maturing in April 2012 and
September 2014, as well as senior notes at CCH II maturing in
November 2016. The transaction favorably extends the maturity
profile without materially impacting leverage and could modestly
reduce interest expense.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Notwithstanding the improvement in the maturity profile, Moody's
lowered Charter's speculative grade liquidity profile to SGL-2
from SGL-1. Moody's still considers Charter's liquidity "good,"
but somewhat depleted by the recent share repurchase (cash use of
$323 million in 2011) and acquisitions ($89 million). Furthermore,
although the proposed bond offering would provide cash to address
much of the $907 million outstanding bonds maturing in April 2012,
the $199 million bank debt maturing in March 2013 is now within
the SGL time horizon.

Moody's also raised the rating on Charter's CCO Holdings third
lien credit facility (called first lien, but secured by CCO stock
only, so effectively third lien) to Ba2 from Ba3, incorporating
the benefit of incremental junior capital provided by the proposed
bonds, which rank junior to this debt.

Despite the increase in junior capital, Moody's maintained the Ba1
rating on the first lien bank debt at CCO. Moody's believes the
capital mix will revert to a structure containing more first lien
bank debt, potentially as the company either utilizes revolver
borrowings or raises incremental first lien debt to repay upcoming
maturities, including the high coupon bonds at CCH II maturing in
2016. The existing CCO credit facilities permit an incremental
term loan up to $7.5 billion.

Moody's also affirmed the Ba3 corporate family rating and other
ratings.

Charter's Ba3 corporate family rating continues to reflect its
moderately high financial risk, with leverage of almost 5 times
debt-to-EBITDA. This leverage poses risk considering the pressure
on revenue from its increasingly mature core video offering (which
represents about half of total revenue) and the intensely
competitive environment in which it operates. The company's
substantial scale and Moody's expectations for continued
operational improvements and ancillary growth opportunities, along
with the meaningful perceived asset value associated with its
sizeable (over 5 million) customer base, support the rating.

The positive outlook continues to reflect Charter's steadily
improving credit profile and expectations that its enhanced
financial flexibility will afford the company greater opportunity
to invest, which should increase asset value and facilitate
further balance sheet strengthening over time.

Moody's would consider an upgrade with continued improvements in
both financial and operating metrics and commitment to improving
the credit profile. Specifically, Moody's could upgrade the CFR
based on expectations for sustained leverage below 4.5 times debt-
to-EBITDA and free cash flow-to-debt in excess of 5%, along with
maintenance of good liquidity. A higher rating would also require
Charter to increase penetration levels (to those more in line with
industry averages) and grow revenue per homes passed while
maintaining margins.

Given the positive outlook, limited downward ratings pressure
exists over the near term. However, Moody's would likely downgrade
ratings if ongoing basic subscriber losses, declining penetration
rates, and/or a reversion to more aggressive financial policies
contributed to expectations for leverage above 6 times debt-to-
EBITDA and / or low single digit or worse free cash flow-to-debt.

The principal methodology used in rating Charter Communications,

DAVIS PETROLEUM: High Court Refuses to Hear Shareholders Appeal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ian Thoms at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the U.S. Supreme Court
refused on Monday to consider an appeal brought by former Davis
Petroleum Corp. shareholders who claim DPC executives committed
fraud when they orchestrated an unnecessary Chapter 11
reorganization and bought the company at a severe discount.

The shareholders, led by the Nancy Sue Davis Trust, wanted the
high court to rule on whether the company's Chapter 11 plan barred
them from bringing fraud charges even though they never agreed to
release the executives from potential claims.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 3, 2011, Chip
Giambrone, writing for Westlaw Journals, reported the appeal
focuses on a conflict between a negotiated Chapter 11 plan, which
immunized parties to the sale of a family oil company from
liability except for fraud, and the bankruptcy judge's
confirmation order, which precluded liability under any legal
theory.

Marvin Davis, the founder of Davis Petroleum Corp., died in 2004,
and ownership of the company passed to his wife and five children.
His son Gregg helmed the company as CEO, according to the petition
filed by Marvin's daughter Nancy Sue Davis.

Westlaw, citing court filings, related that in the company's
Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, the court approved a confirmation plan
calling for the sale of the company to an investor consortium that
included firms controlled by Evercore Capital Partners II LLC and
Gregg Davis.  Under the plan Gregg retained his interest in the
company, and the other family members had their interests bought
out.  The approved plan contains an exculpatory clause that
releases the parties to the sale from all liability, except Gregg
as CEO.  He could still face liability for fraud for acts done in
connection with the Chapter 11 reorganization that amount to
willful misconduct or gross negligence.  The court's confirmation
order said no liability can attach to anyone for any act done in
connection with the reorganization.

Six months after the sale the Nancy Sue Davis Trust filed a motion
to revoke the confirmation order.  According to Westlaw, the trust
claimed to have learned that Gregg allegedly had orchestrated a
'fire sale' of the company that resulted in the other family
members receiving a fraction of the actual value of their
interests.  Davis Petroleum had an estimated value at the time of
the sale of $380 million to $1 billion, well in excess of the $150
million sale price, the trust says.  The Bankruptcy Court entered
summary judgment against the trust, finding no fraud had occurred.

According to Westlaw, on appeal, the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas found issues of fact that precluded the
entry of summary judgment.  But the court ruled the appeal was
"equitably moot" because the reorganization plan had been
substantially consummated.

The trust did not appeal that decision, but instead filed a motion
in District Court seeking permission to bring a fraud complaint
against several defendants, including Gregg.  The District Court
referred the case to the Bankruptcy Court, which denied the motion
after concluding the confirmation order, with its complete
liability bar, trumped the plan?s allowance of a fraud claim.
According to Westlaw, the Bankruptcy Court relied on a 1999
decision of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling that the
terms of a confirmation order prevail where they conflict with a
plan.  Guardian Sav. & Loan Ass?n v. Arbors of Houston Assocs.,
172 F.3d 47 (6th Cir. 1999).

Westlaw related the trust subsequently received permission to
appeal directly to the 5th Circuit, which rejected the Bankruptcy
Court's reliance on the ?slender authority? from the 6th Circuit.
In re Davis Offshore LP, 644 F.3d 259 (5th Cir. 2011).  The panel
said the notion that a confirmation order must always prevail over
the terms of a conflicting plan is 'wrong.'  As a result, the
confirmation order did not trump the right under the plan to sue
Gregg Davis for willful misconduct or gross negligence, the panel
held.  But the appeals court found an ambiguity between the plan
and order.  It then considered the circumstances of this
particular case and resolved the ambiguity in favor of Gregg,
saying he could not be sued even for fraud.

According to Westlaw, the trust in its petition before the Supreme
Court, said the Fifth Circuit's decision violates the holding in
the venerable case of City of Vicksburg v. Henson, 231 U.S. 259
(1913), that an equitable decree cannot be read as being broader
in scope than the underlying motion papers.  The decision further
exacerbates an already existing split among the circuit courts
caused by the 6th Circuit?s ruling in Guardian Savings, the
petition said.  The 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 11th circuits all have
adhered to the holding in Vicksburg, the trust said.  Supreme
Court review also is warranted because of the "exceptional
Importance" of the issue in this case, the trust said.

The case is Nancy Sue Davis Trust v. Evercore Capital Partners II
LLC et al., No. 11-467, petition for cert. filed (U.S. Oct. 12,
2011).

The Petitioner is represented by David M. Gunn, Esq. --

filed for protection from their creditors, they estimated assets
and debts of $50 million to $100 million.

In March 2006, the Court confirmed a reorganization plan for Davis
Petroleum.  The plan was based on a sale of the Company for
$150 million to a private equity group led by Evercore Capital
Partners LP, which also includes the company's senior management,
Red Mountain Capital Partners, and Sankaty Advisors, an affiliate
of Bain Capital.

FILENE'S BASEMENT: Creditors Ask Court to Disband Equity Committee
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hilary Russ at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that unsecured creditors
of Syms Corp. and Filene's Basement LLC urged a Delaware
bankruptcy court Wednesday to immediately disband a committee that
represents equity holders, saying that the committee is too cozy
with the company's leadership because managers and directors own
so much Syms stock.

                      About Filene's Basement

Massachusetts-based Filene's Basement, also called The Basement,
is the oldest off-price retailer in the United States.  The
Basement focuses on high-end goods and is known for its
distinctive, low-technology automatic markdown system.

Filene's Basement first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
in August 1999.  Filene's Basement was bought by a predecessor of
Retail Ventures, Inc., the following year.  Retail Ventures in
April 2009 transferred the unit to Buxbaum.

Filene's Basement, Inc. and its affiliates filed for Chapter 22
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-11525) on May 4, 2009, represented by
lawyers at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP.  Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions serves as claims and notice agent.  The Debtors listed
$50 million to $100 million in assets and $100 million to $500
million in debts.

The 2009 Debtor was formally renamed FB Liquidating Estate,
following the sale of all of its assets to Syms Corp. in June
2009.

Pursuant to the Liquidating Plan confirmed in January 2010,
secured creditors in the Chapter 11 case have been paid in full,
and holders of priority, administrative and convenience class
claims have received 100% of their allowed claims.  As reported by
the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 20, 2010, Alan Cohen,
Chairman of Abacus Advisors LLC and Chief Restructuring Officer
for FB Liquidating Estate disclosed that a second distribution of
dividend checks to Filene's unsecured creditors amounting to 12.5%
of approved claims has been made, bringing the cumulative
distributions on unsecured claims to 62.5%.

On Nov. 2, 2011, Syms Corp. placed itself, Filene's Basement and
two other units in Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos.
11-13511 to 11-13514) after a failed bid to sell the business.
The two units are Syms Clothing Inc. and Syms Advertising Inc.

Judge Kevin J. Carey presides over the case.  Lawyers at Skadden
Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP serve as the Debtors' counsel.  The
Debtors tapped Rothschild Inc. as investment banker and Cushman
and Wakefield Securities, Inc., as real estate financial advisors.

Syms shuttered its namesake and Filene's Basement outlets upon the
bankruptcy filing and tapped a joint venture of Gordon Brothers
Retail Partners LLC and Hilco Merchant Resources LLC to run the
going-out-of-business sales.  The sale may continue until Jan. 31,
2012.

Filene's Basement estimated $1 million to $10 million in assets
and $50 million to $100 million in debts.  The petitions were
signed by Gary Binkoski, authorized representative of Filene's
Basement.

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
2011 case has retained Hahn & Hessen LLP as legal counsel.

Holders of equity in Syms Corp. pushed for an official
shareholders' committee and separation of the Syms and Filene's
Basement bankruptcy estates.

Gordon Brothers and Hilco are represented by Goulston & Storrs,
P.C. and Ashby & Geddes, P.A.

GARLOCK SEALING: Files Full-Payment Asbestos Plan
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC filed a proposed
Chapter 11 plan on Nov. 28 along with an explanatory disclosure
statement.  As it has done from the outset, Garlock again said in
the disclosure statement that all asbestos claims should be paid
in full.  Full payment enables the plan to allow continued
ownership by parent EnPro Industries Inc.

According to the report, the Plan will create a trust to fund
payment to present and future asbestos claimants.  For currently
existing claims, the trust will have insurance proceeds plus cash
from Garlock together with a promise from EnPro to provide up to
$30 million over time.  For future claims, the trust will receive
$60 million from Garlock plus a secured promise by Garlock to
supply an additional $140 million.  The promise will be secured by
51% of Garlock's stock.

The report relates that asbestos claimants have the option of
having their claims decided through a settlement process or
through litigation.  The draft disclosure statement has blanks
where the estimated amounts of asbestos claims later will be
inserted.  The plan was filed on the day the exclusive right to
file a plan was expiring. Garlock has the exclusive right to
solicit plan acceptances until Jan. 26.

Mr. Rochelle discloses that unsecured creditors with $1.5 million
in claims are to be paid in full.  If confirmed, the plan will
give releases to EnPro and all subsidiaries.  Previously, Garlock
said $194 million of insurance was remaining.

GELT PROPERTIES: Fox Chase Wants Foreclosure Procedures Clarified
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Secured lender Fox Chase Bank filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania its objection to the Gelt
Properties, LLC, et al.'s motion for authority to foreclose upon
certain real property and to approve foreclosure and loan payoff
procedures.

As of Nov. 22, 2011, FCB is owed $1,344,683 under the first loan
exclusive of late fees of $22,054 and attorney's fees and costs;
and $442,284 under the second loan.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 9, 2011, the
Debtors relate that currently, their properties are generally
encumbered by liens of various traditional lenders.

The Debtors sought to foreclose upon certain of the remaining
properties, as circumstance give rise to such an exercise of the
Debtor's rights procedurally, free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances, and interests, including but not limited to (i) all
mortgages, judgments, liens and lis pendens of records; and (ii)
all claims of ownership or other equitable rights of any party of
any kind and all liens will attach to the proceeds of said sale.

The Debtors desired to implement a procedure whereby properties
can be foreclosed upon, maintained and ultimately sold or leased
to third party buyers or tenants without the need for individual
court approval of each foreclosure or sale.

With regards to the mortgage payoff letters, the Debtors proposed
to provide the affected lender with a copy of the payoff letter
sent to borrower along with a notice of proposed distribution to
the affected lender as a result of the payoff together with an
explanation of the calculation of the proposed distribution.

In its objection, FCB asserts that the foreclosure procedures as
outlined in the motion do not make sense and need to be further
clarified.

Concerning the "payoff procedures" provisions of the motion, FCB
will not approve the proposed procedure unless FCB provides prior
written approval to the Debtor of any proposed sale and FCB is
guaranteed payment in full from the sale of each property.

GENCORP INC: Settles with U.S. Government for $3.3 Million
----------------------------------------------------------
GenCorp Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aerojet-General
Corporation, entered into a settlement agreement with the United
States Attorney in Sacramento, California, acting on behalf of the
United States of America, in connection with a subpoena the
Company received on Jan. 6, 2010, relating to the allowability of
certain costs under its U.S. Government-related prime and
subcontracts.  In connection with the settlement, the Company paid
$3.3 million and agreed not to seek reimbursement for the costs of
the investigation and defense of this issue.  The investigation
focused on certain corporate costs incurred with respect to
unusual proxy expenses in 2004 and 2006.  The Company cooperated
fully with the investigation.

                         About GenCorp Inc.

Rancho Cordova, Calif.-based GenCorp Inc. (NYSE: GY)
-- http://www.GenCorp.com/-- is a manufacturer of aerospace and
defense products and systems with a real estate segment that
includes activities related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale,
and leasing of the Company's excess real estate assets.

The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 31, 2011, showed
$994.20 million in total assets, $1.13 billion in total
liabilities, $4.50 million in redeemable common stock, and a
$147.90 million total shareholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

Standard & Poor's in February 2011 has raised its corporate credit
rating on GenCorp Inc. to 'B' from 'B-'.  S&P also raised its
rating on the company's first-lien secured debt to 'BB-' from 'B+'
and on the subordinated debt to 'CCC+' from 'CCC'.  The recovery
rating on the first-lien secured debt remains unchanged at '1',
and the recovery rating on the subordinated debt remains unchanged
at '6'.  The outlook is stable.

"We are raising its ratings on GenCorp by one notch to reflect the
company's improved liquidity position," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Lisa Jenkins.  "The ratings on GenCorp reflect its
highly leveraged capital structure, weak financial performance,
limited diversity, and modest scale of operations compared with
competitors.  Offsetting these challenges to some extent is the
company's good niche positions in aerospace propulsion and solid
backlog.  S&P characterize GenCorp Inc.'s business profile as weak
and its financial profile as highly leveraged."

As reported by the TCR on May 24, 2011, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded the corporate family and probability of default ratings
of GenCorp Inc. to B1 from B2.  The upgrade reflects the Company's
steady improvement to operating results, as a leading niche
supplier of solid and liquid rocket propulsion systems to prime
defense contractors.  Operating margins have grown to above 11%
(inclusive of Moody's standard adjustments) in the most recent
twelve-month period, resulting from growth in defense programs
that GenCorp supplies (THAAD, Aegis, PAC-3) and good cost
controls.  GenCorp's funded backlog has grown steadily over
several years, and is now about 90% of sales.  The level of
backlog provides good forward revenue visibility and compares
favorably with other defense suppliers.

INTEGRATED FUEL: Del. Chancery Court Rules on Buyer's Lawsuit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Encite LLC v. Soni pending in the Court of Chancery of Delaware
involves a claim for breach of the fiduciary duty of loyalty.  At
the center of this dispute are the assets (mostly intellectual
property) of Integrated Fuel Cell Technologies, Inc., , a now-
defunct tech startup company founded by Stephen Marsh to develop
potentially revolutionary micro fuel cell technology.  This
technology, if perfected, could have replaced batteries in
portable electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops.
Despite several rounds of financing, IFCT was never able to
develop the technology into a commercially viable product, and the
Company never produced a consistent stream of revenue.  This was a
problem for IFCT's investors, particularly Echelon Ventures, L.P.,
a Boston-area venture capitalist firm that was IFCT's principal
investor and a holder of the majority of the Company's preferred
stock.  Since investing in IFCT, Echelon had worked consistently
to reduce Mr. Marsh's influence at IFCT.

As IFCT approached insolvency, it became apparent to IFCT's board
that a sale of the Company's assets was the only viable solution.
The board, which consisted of two Echelon-appointed directors, Mr.
Marsh, an independent director, and the CEO, conducted a bidding
process to sell IFCT's assets.  The Company received several bids,
but the major bids at issue came from a group of investors
organized by Mr. Marsh and from a group of investors organized by
Echelon.  Several of the investors in Mr. Marsh's group -- notably
including Mr. Marsh himself -- went on to form Encite LLC.
Echelon's group comprised individuals and entities that had
participated in a bridge loan to finance the sale of IFCT's
assets, and most of these participants were holders of the same
class of preferred stock as Echelon.

The bidding process lasted about five months, and the board
eventually approved the Echelon-backed bid.  Mr. Marsh believed
that the rest of the board had not adequately considered, or had
wrongfully rejected, the Marsh-backed bid.  While the CEO was
working out a consent solicitation with IFCT's lawyers to send to
the stockholders, Mr. Marsh informed the stockholders that they
were about to be sent a bid approved by interested directors, and
that superior bids had been ignored or cursorily negotiated.
Based on a leaked draft consent solicitation and at Mr. Marsh's
direct urging, an IFCT stockholder and friend of Mr. Marsh's filed
a derivative suit.

Apparently this was the last straw in the Marsh-Echelon
relationship, a relationship that had been difficult since its
inception.  The board withdrew the Echelon-backed offer, and all
of its members besides Mr. Marsh quickly resigned.  Mr. Marsh,
then the sole director of IFCT, instead of pursuing any
outstanding offers, took the company into bankruptcy, wherein the
Marsh-led group of investors (Encite) submitted the winning bid
for IFCT's assets, beating out a competing Echelon-backed bid.

Mr. Marsh authorized IFCT to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on
April 11, 2006.  The Bankruptcy Court later converted the case to
Chapter 7 and appointed a Chapter 7 trustee.

Having secured the intellectual property of IFCT for himself and
facing the opportunity to start over with the technology he had
created, Mr. Marsh could have continued on his way, content with
his victory over the venture capitalist firm that from the outset
had tried to force him out of any position of power in IFCT.
Instead of taking his victory to the bank and proceeding to
develop his nascent fuel cell technology, Mr. Marsh decided that
the best course was to continue his struggle with his former
fellow board members and Echelon, and he filed this suit alleging
that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to
IFCT, abetted by Echelon.

Among the assets purchased by Mr. Marsh and Encite via the
bankruptcy proceeding were choses in action, arguably including
this breach of fiduciary duty action against the Director
Defendants.  The crux of the Plaintiff's argument is that the
Director Defendants conducted an unfair and disloyal bidding
process, whereby they favored the Echelon-backed bid and refused
to follow up on or negotiate other superior bids.  As a result,
according to the Plaintiff, IFCT missed its chance to sell its
assets at the peak of their value and was forced to sell its
assets at a discount in bankruptcy.  The Plaintiff also contends
that Echelon aided and abetted the Director Defendants' breach.
The Plaintiff claims as damages the highest value of IFCT's assets
during the bidding period, less the amount IFCT received for its
assets in bankruptcy.

In a Nov. 28, 2011 Memorandum Opinion, Vice Chancellor Sam
Glasscock said he accepts this theory of damages with a slight
modification.  The Chancery Court held that such an argument
raises an issue on its face as to whether a person can purchase a
claim for breach of fiduciary duty in a bankruptcy proceeding.  In
doing so, the Plaintiff has found itself in a somewhat absurd
position. The Plaintiff is essentially arguing that it purchased
IFCT's assets at a price that was depressed due to the Director
Defendants' breach of fiduciary duty, yet at the same time the
Plaintiff is seeking to recover the difference between this
depressed value and the assets' true value?all the while holding
those very assets, for which it paid only the depressed value. In
other words, the better the bargain Encite received, the higher
the damages to which it (derivatively of IFCT) is entitled.

"The Plaintiff assures me that its claim here is the same as any
other purchased lawsuit, and the Defendants have not persuasively
disputed this point; accordingly, I have assumed that the
Plaintiff did purchase the breach of fiduciary duty claim it seeks
to prosecute here," Vice Chancellor Glasscock said.

The Director Defendants have moved for summary judgment, alleging
that IFCT's board conducted an entirely fair bidding process and
that Encite has suffered no damages. Echelon has also moved for
summary judgment, restating the arguments of the Director
Defendants and additionally asserting that, if a breach is found,
Echelon did not knowingly participate. The Defendants also argue
that Encite's claim should fail on the grounds that Stephen Marsh
has unclean hands.

Echelon filed a third-party complaint against Mr. Marsh, accusing
him of tortiously interfering with Echelon's prospective business
relationship with IFCT and contributing to any damage suffered by
IFCT as a result of the bidding process.  Mr. Marsh has moved for
summary judgment against those claims, asserting that Echelon was
never a party to any agreement with IFCT and that Echelon did not
have a reasonable expectation of a business relationship.

Vice Chancellor Glasscock said the claims are intertwined and
arise from a long and complex history of bickering between the
creator of a technology with great potential and the venture
capitalist firm that provided the funds to develop that
technology.

"It is a story of strong personalities and soured relationships.
If the technology had been successful, the parties' interests
would have remained aligned.  Unfortunately, the technology was
never perfected, the parties made competing moves to claim the
intellectual property, feelings were hurt, bids were spurned, and
our cell phones are still fueled by batteries," Vice Chancellor
Glasscock said.

"Given that the Director Defendants have conceded the
applicability of entire fairness review and given the fact-
intensive nature of that review, I find that the Director
Defendants have not met their burden at this stage to achieve
summary judgment against Encite. I also find that material facts
remain as to the liability of Echelon for aiding and abetting the
alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Director Defendants, and I
therefore deny Echelon's motion for summary judgment on that
claim.  Finally, I find that material facts also remain regarding
Echelon's third party claims, and so I deny Marsh's motion for
summary judgment," Vice Chancellor Glasscock held.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL: Rooker-Feldman Doesn't Restrict County
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the receiver operating the Jefferson County, Alabama
sewer system lost two skirmishes, although he still may win the
war over continued control of the sewers and their revenue.

John S. Young Jr. LLC, the sewer receiver, asked U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Thomas B. Bennett to rule that the county's Chapter 9
municipal bankruptcy filing on Nov. 9 didn't oust him of the right
to operate the system or set rates.  The county was demanding he
surrender control as a result of bankruptcy.

The report relates that the receiver contended unsuccessfully that
the Rooker-Feldman Doctrine precludes the bankruptcy court from
undoing a receivership created by state court.  Generally
speaking, Rooker-Feldman, named for two cases from the U.S.
Supreme Court, prevents a federal court from undoing the judgments
of a state court.  Judge Bennett ruled that Rooker-Feldman didn't
apply.

According to the report, the receiver also relied on the Johnson
Act of 1934, codified as 28 U.S.C. 1342.  The Act prevents a
federal court with diversity jurisdiction from making any order
affecting rates charged by a state rate-making body.  Judge
Bennett likewise ruled that the Act doesn't apply in a bankruptcy
context.  Judge Bennett gave the contending parties an opportunity
to submit another set of papers on Dec. 2 dealing with ousting the
receiver.  The judge prohibited papers in excess of 25 pages.  The
judge already said at a hearing last week that he won't remove the
receiver entirely. He left open the question of the extent to
which he can or should return some of the receiver's powers to the
county. The receiver was appointed following default on the sewer
bonds.

A group of financial institutions comprised of Bank of Nova
Scotia, Societe Generale, New York Branch, State Street Bank and
Trust Company, Lloyds TSB Bank plc, Regions Bank and The Bank of
New York Mellon, have filed papers in the case supporting the move
to let the receiver continue to operate and administer the sewer
system under the Receivership Order.  The institutions call
themselves "Liquidity Banks."  Combined they are beneficial
holders of $390,250,000 in principal amount of the County's sewer
warrants.  The institutions consider themselves "significant
creditors" in the Chapter 9 case and therefore have standing to
appear and present briefs to the Court concerning issues of
significance to the Liquidity Banks.

                      About Jefferson County

Jefferson County filed a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 9
(Bankr. N.D. Ala. Case No. 11-05736) on Nov. 9, 2011, after an
agreement among elected officials and investors to refinance
$3.1 billion in sewer bonds fell apart.

John S. Young Jr. LLC was appointed as receiver by Alabama Circuit
Court Judge Albert Johnson in September 2010.

Jefferson County's bankruptcy represents the largest municipal
debt adjustment of all time.  The county said that long-term debt
is $4.23 billion, including about $3.1 billion in defaulted sewer
bonds where the debt holders can look only to the sewer system for
payment.

The county said it would use the bankruptcy court to put a value
on the sewer system, in the process fixing the amount bondholders
should be paid through Chapter 9.

Judge Thomas B. Bennett presides over the Chapter 9 case.  Lawyers
at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP and Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff &
Stern LLP, led by Kenneth Klee, represent the Debtor as counsel.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as claims and noticing
agent.  Jefferson estimated more than $1 billion in assets.  The
petition was signed by David Carrington, president.


J.G. WENTWORTH: Moody's Assigns Provisional Ratings to Settlements
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned provisional ratings to the
notes to be issued by JGWPT XXIV LLC (Issuer), an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of J.G. Wentworth Originations LLC (the Sponsor
or JGW Originator), collateralized by a pool of structured
settlements and assignable annuities.

The complete rating action is:

Issuer: JGWPT XXIV LLC

$181,131,000 Class A, Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Series 2011-
2, rated (P)Aaa (sf)

$16,998,000 Class B, Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes, Series 2011-2,
rated (P)Baa2 (sf)

RATINGS RATIONALE

Moody's provisional ratings on the Notes reflects the assessed
quality of the court ordered structured settlements and annuity
receivables (the receivables), the credit worthiness of the
obligors, the servicing arrangement and the structural and legal
features. Apart from the addition of Peachtree Settlement Funding
LLC (Peachtree Originator) as an originator, the transaction is
very similar to previous securitization transactions involving the
Sponsor.

Historically, Wentworth's originated court ordered structured
settlements receivables have experienced very low losses, totaling
less than 0.10% cumulatively since 2002. In addition, the pool of
obligors under the receivables is diverse and comprised primarily
of highly rated life insurance companies, of which more than 90%
based on the present value of the securitized receivables, have an
insurance financial strength ratings of A3 or higher.

The Issuer's assets will include court ordered structured
settlements (approximately 95.4% of the present value of the
receivables), annuity receivables (approximately 4.6% of the
present value of the receivables) (together the receivables) and
approximately $59.4 million in cash deposited into the Prefunding
Account, which will be used to purchase additional receivables.

Recently, J.G. Wentworth, LLC, an indirect parent of the Sponsor,
and its subsidiaries completed the merger with Orchard Acquisition
Company, and its subsidiaries of which one is known to do business
as Peachtree Settlement Funding. As a result the receivables were
originated not only by JGW Originator but also by Peachtree
Originator (together with JGW Originator, the Originators).
Amounts on deposit in the prefunding account may be used within a
prefunding period of ninety day after closing to acquire
additional receivables. The addition of new receivables is subject
to eligibility criteria and to a Rating Agency Confirmation in
which Moody's must affirm that it will not downgrade, withdraw or
qualify its ratings of the Notes solely as a result of the
acquisition of additional receivables. Any amount remaining in the
Prefunding Account at the end of the Prefunding Period will be
deposited into the collection account and distributed in
accordance with the priority of payments.

The servicing arrangement adequately reduces the risk of a
servicing disruption; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (DBTCA)
will act as the master servicer, and will initially subcontract
with J.G. Wentworth Management Company, LLC (JGW Management) to
perform its servicing obligations. In addition, Portfolio
Financial Servicing Company (PFSC) will act as hot back-up
servicer.

The transaction utilizes a turbo structure in which all
collections from the receivables, net of certain fees and
expenses, are first used to meet interest payments on the Notes
and second to pay down the Notes' outstanding principal balance
until paid in full. The Class A Notes will benefit from 14.75%
subordination comprised of Class B Notes and the Issuer Interest.
The Class A subordination is expected to increase over time as the
Class B will not receive any principal payments in the first 48
months after the closing date and the Issuer Interest will not
receive any principal until all the Notes are paid in full;
performance triggers provide additional protection to the Class A
notes. The Class B benefits from 6.75% subordination provided by
the Issuer Interest. In addition, the ratings of the Class B notes
take into account the fact that Class B noteholders will not
receive principal payments in the first four years and the
possibility that due to structural feature, Class B noteholders
may cease to receive any payments until the class A interest and
principal are paid in full. Finally, the Notes benefit from a non-
declining reserve account equal to 1% of the initial present value
of the receivables; if and when additional receivables are added
to the pool during the prefunding period, the amount on deposit in
the reserve account and the target reserve account balance will
increase accordingly.

MOODY'S V-SCORE AND PARAMETER SENSITIVITIES

The V Score for this transaction is Low/Medium. The V Score
indicates better than "Average" structure complexity and
uncertainty about critical assumptions. The Low/Medium score for
this transaction is driven by a variety of factors. Historic
collateral performance in this sector has been consistent with
expectations, and there have been no downgrades to date.
Securitization performance data dates back fifteen years or so.
Nevertheless, transactions have very long durations of thirty to
forty years, and the past experience does not include a period of
significant stress such as a default by a major life insurance
carrier. Additionally, the vast majority of the assets are
originated though a court order process which minimize origination
and legal risk. Finally, the obligors under the receivables are
life insurance companies which are subject to regulations and
oversight. Servicing responsibilities are low because the
insurance company obligors are reliable payors.

Moody's Parameter Sensitivities. For this exercise, Moody's
analyzed scenarios stressing two key model input assumptions to
determine the potential model-indicated ratings impact. The two
key model inputs and associated stressed values were as follows:
(a) for the default probability of the obligors, Moody's lowered
the ratings of all obligors by two and four notches as a proxy for
increase in default probability; and (b) for the recovery rate
upon an obligor default Moody's lowered the assumed recovery rate
by an additional 15% and 30%. Moody's base case assumes a range of
recoveries centered at around 70% for companies that are rated
investment grade and centered around 50% for non investment grade
companies.

For the Class A notes, using such assumptions , the (P)Aaa (sf)
initial rating might change as follows based purely on model
outputs: (a) If the assumed ratings for the obligors are their
current ratings, the model-indicated output based on the changes
in recovery rates becomes as follows: base case, Aaa(0); 15% lower
than base case, Aa1(1); and 30% lower than base case, Aa2(2); (b)
If the assumed ratings for the obligors is two notches down, the
model-indicated output based on the changes in recovery rates
becomes as follows: base case, Aa1(1); 15% lower than base case,
Aa2(2); and 30% lower than base case, Aa3(3); and (c) If the
assumed ratings for the obligors are four notches down, the model-
indicated output based on the changes in recovery rates becomes as
follows: base case, Aa3(3); 15% lower than base case, A2(5); and
30% lower than base case, A3(6).

For the Class B notes, using such assumptions, the (P)Baa2 (sf)
initial rating might change as follows based purely on model
outputs: If the assumed ratings for the obligors are their current
ratings, the model-indicated output based on the changes in
recovery rates becomes as follows: base case, Baa2(0); 15% lower
than base case, Ba1 (2); and 30% lower than base case, Ba3(3); (b)
If the assumed ratings for the obligors are two notches down, the
model-indicated output based on the changes in recovery rates
becomes as follows: base case, Ba2(3); 15% lower than base case,
Ba3(4); and 30% lower than base case, B2(6); and (c) If the
assumed ratings for the obligors are four notches down, the model
indicated output based on the changes in recovery rates becomes as
follows: base case, B2(6); 15% lower than base case, 7); and
30% lower than base case, 7).

PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGY

In assigning credit ratings on structured settlement-backed notes,
Moody's relies on both qualitative and quantitative analysis
described in the paragraphs that follow.

Qualitative Analysis

Moody's qualitative analysis focuses primarily on evaluating (i)
the servicer's capacity to fulfill its duties and whether the
servicing arrangement adequately reduces the likelihood and extent
of a servicing disruption; (ii) cash management, and (iii) the
extent of payment diversion risk.

Moody's evaluates a number of factors regarding servicing,
including: the effectiveness of the servicer's systems to flag
future dates when large payments are due and the servicer's
ability to quickly detect inappropriately allocated payments and
to act on improperly missed or diverted payments. Moody's also
evaluates the risk of servicing disruption. The risk of servicing
disruption tends to be low when servicing is provided by an
experienced, stable, financially strong servicer, or the
transaction provides for backup servicing arrangements that would
likely lead to a smooth, quick transfer of servicing to another
entity if needed.

Structured settlement securitizations benefit from strong legal
protections; however, funds may be diverted from investors in
connection with an Originator's bankruptcy, or as a result of
either fraud by the claimants or administrative error. Moody's
assessment of that risk focuses on evaluating the extent to which
obligors' payments are isolated from the sponsor by lock box
arrangements or other means and the servicer's oversight over
incoming payments to ensure they are in line with scheduled
payments.

For more information on Moody's views regarding operational risks
such as potential servicing disruption and cash management, see
"Global Structured Finance Operational Risk Request for Comment,"
May 6, 2010.

Payment diversion risk arises from settlement claimants attempting
to divert payments from the securitization. This risk is low
because the vast majority of the receivables in the analyzed
transactions (based on discounted balance of the securitized
receivables at the time of each transaction's closing date)
consisted of court-ordered transfers of structured settlement
receivables. Court-ordered structured settlements consist of
receivables created after the enactment of the Victims of
Terrorism Tax Relief Act of 2001 (the Act). The Act stipulates
that the sale of a structured settlement receivable must be
subject to a court order under which the structured settlement
obligors are directed by the court to remit payments to a given
party. Therefore, the Issuer's right to receive settlement
payments is backed by strong legal protections.

Quantitative Analysis

Moody's used a Monte Carlo analysis to simulate no less than
10,000 different scenarios of the structured settlement pool
performance. The modeled cash-flows are then used to pay down the
Notes and to observe the probabilities and severities of defaults
for the different classes of Notes. Specifically, the IRR of the
simulated ABS cash flows is calculated for each iteration, and
then compared to the promised IRR (coupon) to measure the
reduction in IRR. If there is a principal loss, this loss is noted
and the amount is logged. After completing the simulations, an
average reduction in IRR, an average frequency of loss and an
average loss (expected loss) is calculated. From these results
model-indicated ratings are determined using the appropriate
Moody's idealized reference tables. Of these measures, the primary
driver to the rating outcome is the IRR reduction.

The Monte Carlo simulation model uses asset level information
about the pool of securitized receivables including the credit
quality of the obligors. The model relies on identifying key
variables important to the performance of the assets and on
assigning probability distributions for these variables. The key
variables include the probability of default for the obligors
making payments under the securitized receivables, the recovery
rate on the receivables upon the default of an obligor, the
correlation between obligors' defaults, and losses. In defining
the parameters for the variables, Moody's relied on a combination
of historical data, market knowledge on current and future trends
in the insurance industry and the sub-servicer's own experience.

This is a more detailed explanation of the key variables and
Moody's assumptions for each:

1. The obligor mix in these transactions consists of insurance
companies (primarily life insurance companies) which are typically
highly rated. For probability of default assumptions, Moody's used
the actual credit ratings for the obligor if available; for
obligors for which Moody's credit rating was not available, a
probability of default consistent with a Ba rating level was
assumed. Finally, obligors which are part of the same insurance
group were treated as a single obligor.

2. Moody's recovery assumptions for the structured settlements of
defaulted obligors range from 35% to 75%. For most investment
grade rated life insurers, the distribution is centered toward the
upper end of that range.

3. For obligor correlation, Moody's assumes that each individual
company's default is correlated with all other obligors in the
pool, reflecting the fact that they are all in the life insurance
industry. This approach is consistent with the correlation
approach Moody's uses to evaluate other pools of corporate credit.
Generally speaking, Moody's employs single industry correlation
assumptions that range from 3% to 50%, depending on the industry,
the nature of the obligation and the geographic dispersion of the
obligors. Moody's uses a correlation assumption of 25% in
analyzing the behavior of pools of insurance company obligors in
structured settlements. This level of correlation results in the
default of approximately half of the obligors in a typical pool
within ten years, as compared to approximately one sixth of the
pool with no correlation. In arriving at the 25% correlation
assumption, Moody's considered the fact that the securitized
obligations are claims Moody's views on par with insurance
policies, rather than corporate debt obligations, and the
relatively low observed correlation among life insurance
companies.

4. Direct collateral losses, not associated with failures of
insurance companies defaulting on their obligations, were assumed
to be less than 2%. Though historically losses on court-ordered
structured settlements have been very low (for example, totaling
less than 25 basis points cumulatively since 2002 for one leading
industry participant), losses for a specific transaction may be
higher than the historical levels. Losses may stem from bankruptcy
of claimant, fraud, administrative error by the originator or
obligor or other reasons.

5. Overall, Moody's assesses the sufficiency of the available
credit enhancement in light of the various structural features of
the transaction.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in
the process of rating this issue can be found at www.moodys.com in
the Ratings Methodologies subdirectory within the Rating
Methodologies and Performance directory.

The performance expectations for a given variable indicate Moody's
forward-looking view of the likely range of performance over the
medium term. From time to time, Moody's may, if warranted, change
these expectations.

                     About Lithium Technology

Plymouth Meeting, Pa.-based Lithium Technology Corporation is a
mid-volume production stage company that develops large format
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries to be used as a new power
source for emerging applications in the automotive, stationary
power, and national security markets.

The Company reported a net loss of $7.25 million on $6.35 million
of products and services sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $10.51 million on $7.37 million of
product and services sales during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $10.29
million in total assets, $37.44 million in total liabilities and a
$27.15 million total stockholders' deficit.

                      $7 Mil. Funding Needed

As reported by the TCR on April 8, 2011, the Company entered into
a number of financing transactions and is continuing to seek other
financing initiatives.  The Company said it will need to raise
additional capital to meet its working capital needs and to
complete its product commercialization process.  Such capital is
expected to come from the sale of securities and debt financing.
The Company believes that if it raises approximately $7 million in
debt and equity financings, the Company would have sufficient
funds to meet its needs for working capital and capital
expenditures and to meet expansion plans during 2011.  If the
Company is not able to raise such additional capital, the Company
will assess all available alternatives including a sale of the
Company's assets or merger, the suspension of operations and
possibly liquidation, auction, bankruptcy, or other measures.

                          Going Concern

As reported by the TCR on April 8, 2011, Amper, Politziner &
Mattia, LLP, Edison, New Jersey, after auditing the Company's
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, noted that
the Company has recurring losses from operations since inception
and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In the Form 10-Q, the Company acknowledged that as of March 31,
2011, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $158,555,000.
The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily
through equity financings, loans from shareholders and other
related parties, loans from silent partners and bank borrowings
secured by assets.  The Company has recently entered into a number
of financing transactions and are continuing to seek other
financing initiatives.  The Company will need to raise additional
capital to meet its working capital needs and to complete its
product commercialization process.  Such capital is expected to
come from the sale of securities and debt financing.  Continuation
of the Company's operations in the future is dependent upon
obtaining consent from the lenders to extend the respective
maturity date of the debentures.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Blasts Fox for Disrupting TV Rights Bidding
----------------------------------------------------------------
Lance Duroni at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the Los Angeles
Dodgers LLC blasted its Fox Sports broadcasting affiliate on
Monday, saying the media partner is attempting to stifle bidding
for the team's coveted television rights in order to renew its
contract at a bargain.

Law360 relates that the allegations came in a reply brief filed in
Delaware bankruptcy court in support of the Dodgers' plan to
auction its future telecast rights to the highest bidder, which it
hopes to pursue in tandem with a sale of the team.

                     About Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers LLC operates the Los Angeles Dodgers, a
professional Major League Baseball club in the Los Angeles
metropolitan area.  Frank McCourt, a Boston real-estate developer
who unsuccessfully bid for the Boston Red Sox, bought the Dodgers
from Rupert Murdoch's Fox Entertainment Group, Inc. in 2004 for
$330 million.  Mr. McCourt also bought the Dodgers Stadium from
Fox for $100 million.

Los Angeles Dodgers LLC filed for bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D. Del. Lead Case No. 11-12010) on June 27, 2011, after MLB
Commissioner Bud Selig rejected a television deal with News
Corp.'s Fox Sports, leaving Mr. McCourt unable to make payroll for
June 30 and July 1.  Fox Sports has exclusive cable television
rights for Dodgers games until the end of 2013 baseball season.

Chapter 11 filings were also made for LA Real Estate LLC, an
affiliated entity which owns Dodger Stadium, and three other
related holding companies.

The petition estimates assets of up to $500 million and debts of
up to $1 billion.  In its schedules, the LA Dodgers baseball club
disclosed $77,963,734 in assets and $4,695,702 in liabilities.  LA
Real Estate LLC disclosed $161,761,883 in assets and $0 in
liabilities.

According to Forbes, the team is worth about $800 million, making
it the third most valuable baseball team after the New York
Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.

Judge Kevin Gross presides over the case.  Lawyers at Young,
Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP serve as the
Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC is the
claims and notice agent.  Public relations specialist Kekst and

the case.  The panel has tapped Lazard Freres & Co. as financial

LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Postpones Courtroom Clash With Fox
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Los Angeles Dodgers baseball club and Fox
Entertainment Group Inc. were scheduled for a major clash in
bankruptcy court Nov. 30 on the team's motion for approval of
procedures to auction telecasting rights beginning with the 2014
season.  It's possible there was progress in mediation on Nov. 28
because the Dec. 1 hearing on auction procedures was postponed
until Dec. 7.

According to the report, at a status conference Nov. 30, the
bankruptcy judge may set up a schedule for Fox's motion to dismiss
the Dodgers' Chapter 11 case.  The dismissal motion and the
Dodgers' motion on auction procedures are only a few of the tangle
of litigated matters currently pending between the warring
factions.

The report relates that mediation brought about settlement between
the club and the commissioner of Major League Baseball.  Although
the terms of settlement remain secret, the Dodgers say it allows
them to auction telecasting rights.  The Dodgers say the sale of
the club as whole will be completed by April 30.

LOWER BUCKS: Plan Confirmation Hearing Continued Today
------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
has approved the Disclosure Statement with respect to the First
Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Lower Bucks
Hospital, Lower Bucks Health Enterprises, Inc., and Advanced
Primary Care Physicians, as Modified.

The confirmation hearing presently scheduled on Nov. 18, 2011, is
continued to Dec. 2, 2011, at 9:00 a.m.

As reported in the TCR on Sept. 30, 2011, the Plan is centered
around a settlement of the litigation between LBH and The Bank of
New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A, as Bond Trustee, regarding
several issues, including whether the Bond Trustee, on behalf of
the holders of bonds, holds a secured claim against LBH, as
opposed to a claim that is secured.

According to the Debtors, the settlement gives bondholders a
significantly greater recovery than the recovery that will be
realized under the Plan by other creditors.  Whereas General
Unsecured Creditors are expected to realize an approximately 18.5%
recovery, bondholders will receive a recovery of approximately
35%.

The Plan also provides for payment in full of all Allowed Priority
Claims, Secured Claims and Administrative Claims, and provides
Allowed General Unsecured Claims a distribution that includes
certain Guaranteed Cash and a Creditor Note to be issued under the
Plan.

The funds required for the initial distributions under the Plan
are to come from a monetization of LBH's table gaming grants,
through the issuance of the 2011 bonds, a mortgage loan secured by
Enterprises, and certain cash contributions from the Debtors.  The
Plan also contemplates the issuance of a creditor note, and other
post-confirmation payments to creditors.

MCGINN SMITH: Liquidation Yields $8.2MM So Far, Lawyer Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Larry Rulison at timesunion.com reports that William Brown, the
Buffalo attorney who is in charge of managing the McGinn, Smith
estate, said he's collected nearly $8.2 million so far -- and
believes another $7 million more will be forthcoming.

According to timesunion.com, Mr. Brown said other claims against
former brokers, borrowers and third parties could net another
$13 million.  Mr. Brown is overseeing the liquidation of McGinn,
Smith & Co., the investment firm that collapsed at the end of 2009
amid a massive credit crunch.

The Troubled Company Reporter on April 22, 2010, reported that the
Securities and Exchange Commission filed an emergency enforcement
action to halt a fraudulent scheme being orchestrated by two co-
owners of an Albany, N.Y.-based firm who misused investor money to
fund their struggling business operations and meet ever-increasing
liquidity needs.  The SEC has obtained a court order to freeze
their assets.

According to the SEC's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of New York, Timothy M. McGinn and David L.
Smith -- through their firm McGinn, Smith & Co., Inc., and
affiliated entities -- raised approximately $120 million from
investors in more than 25 debt offerings that were not registered
with the SEC under the securities laws.  They misrepresented that
the investments would generate sufficient income to support the
promoted interest rates and the return of principal at the end of
the notes' terms.


MERCER INT'L: Moody's Affirms 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised the rating outlook to positive
for Mercer International, Inc. Moody's also affirmed the company's
B2 Corporate Family Rating, B2 Probability of Default Rating, and
B3 rating on its USD$300 million senior unsecured notes due 2017.
The short-term liquidity assessment of SGL-2 is unchanged.

Rating Affirmations:

   Issuer: Mercer International Inc.

   -- Corporate Family Rating, B2

   -- Probability of Default Rating, B2

   -- Senior Unsecured Notes due 2017, B3 LGD5 71%

Outlook, Positive (revised from Stable)

RATINGS RATIONALE

"Mercer has made sufficient improvements to its operations and its
balance sheet to warrant a positive outlook, and with additional
improvement could be upgraded to B1," said Moody's analyst Ben
Nelson. While the US benchmark price for northern bleached
softwood kraft ("NBSK") pulp fell to $920/tonne in November 2011
from a peak of $1040/tonne in June 2011, Moody's expects that
prices will remain high enough over the near-term to enable Mercer
to continue to generate strong free cash flow. Mercer has reduced
debt by approximately $60 million through a combination of
conversion of its convertible notes and opportunistic repurchase
of a portion of its senior unsecured notes during 2011. The
company's improved balance sheet, combined with operational
improvements in the areas of input flexibility and green energy at
the Celgar Mill in western Canada, enhance the company's ability
to withstand a cyclical downturn in the pulp industry. As such,
Moody's revised the outlook to positive to reflect Moody's view
that cyclically strong NBSK prices will enable Mercer to generate
strong cash flows and further reductions in debt and improvements
in liquidity could improve the company's credit standing.

Moody's could upgrade the CFR if Mercer continues to apply its
cash flows to creditor-friendly purposes such as improving its
liquidity position and reducing debt. However, Moody's could
stabilize the rating outlook if unfavorable developments are
expected to limit Mercer's ability to improve its credit profile
over the next 12-18 months. The CFR could be downgraded if a
deterioration in operating performance, industry conditions or
exchange rates suggest the company's liquidity position may not be
sufficient to withstand a cyclical downturn. Shareholder friendly
activities of significance could also carry negative rating
implications.

The principal methodology used in rating Mercer was the Global
Paper and Forest Products Industry Methodology published in
September 2009. Other methodologies used include Loss Given
Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S.,
Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Mercer International Inc., a Washington-based corporation with
corporate offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a producer of
northern bleached softwood kraft pulp. Moody's ratings cover only
the Restricted Group, which is comprised of the Celgar mill in
western Canada and the Rosenthal mill in eastern Germany, and
exclude the Stendal mill. Annual production capacity of the
Restricted Group is approximately 830 thousand air-dried metric
tons. Revenues for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 were
EUR 511 million.


METOKOTE CORPORATION: Moody's Raises Corp. Family Rating to 'B3'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded MetoKote Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating to B3 from Caa2, and its Probability of
Default Rating to Caa1 from Caa2. In a related action Moody's also
assigned a definitive B3 rating to the company's $5 million senior
secured revolver due 2013 and $71 million senior secured term loan
due 2013. In Moody's press release dated November 4, 2011, Moody's
indicated that Metokote's CFR would be upgraded to B3 upon
completion of the amend and extend transaction. Moody's positively
noted that the extended term loan amount will be lower compared to
the $87 million then outstanding as the company repaid $16 million
using its cash. The rating outlook was changed to stable from
developing.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The upgrade to B3 CFR from Caa2 is based on MetoKote's completion
of an amendment to its senior secured credit facilities, improving
the company's liquidity and maturity profile. The ratings
recognize the improvement in the company's operating performance,
driven primarily by increased demand for coating services from
agriculture and automotive end market customers, which has
increased revenue by over 30% from the depressed 2009 level. The
company has been growing its general purpose business segment with
minimal capital expenditures, and is expected to have adequate
liquidity over the next four quarters, partly due to the re-
establishment of revolver availability. The rating is tempered by
MetoKote's modest scale, high customer and end market
concentration, exposure to cyclicality especially in automotive
end markets, and the need for capital to support InSite business.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's expectation that
MetoKote will maintain adequate liquidity profile while continuing
to benefit from demand from agriculture and automotive end market
customers. The outlook also reflects Moody's expectation of timely
refinancing of the company's debt comfortably ahead of the two
2013 maturities.

Given the current upgrade, further positive rating movement near-
term is unlikely for the company. A positive action would likely
require expectations for leverage below 4x, EBIT/Interest coverage
closer to 2x, with sustained positive free cash flow generation
and a material increase in Metokote's revenue base. Conversely,
Moody's could take a negative action if it becomes likely that the
leverage could be sustainably over 5x, if auto build rate or
demand from agricultural and mining end markets decreases sharply,
or if the company experiences a substantive deterioration in its
liquidity position. Negative pressure would also build if Metokote
is unable to refinance its term loan or extend maturity
comfortably ahead of November 2013.

These ratings/assessments have been affected:

Corporate Family Rating, upgraded to B3 from Caa2;

Probability of Default Rating, upgraded to Caa1 from Caa2;

$71 million senior secured term loan due 11/27/2013, assigned B3
(LGD3, 33%) from (P)B3 (LGD3, 33%);

$5 million senior secured revolver due 8/27/2013, assigned B3
(LGD3, 33%) from (P)B3 (LGD3, 33%).

The principal methodology used in rating MetoKote Corporation was
the Global Automotive Supplier Industry Methodology published in
January 2009. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.

MetoKote Corporation provides outsourced industrial coating
services to manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Brazil.
The company offers solutions both within a customer facility or at
one of the company's regional facilities. End markets served
include automotive, heavy truck, agriculture, construction, metal
furniture, appliances, and consumer products. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2011, the company is expected to have generated
approximately $175 million of revenue.


MF GLOBAL: Wins Nod for Lift Stay for Rubin Class Settlement
------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn lifted the automatic stay solely to
allow MF Global Holdings Ltd., to proceed in the case captioned
Michael Rubin v. MF Global Ltd., et al., pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York to permit a
final settlement hearing to go forward and a final judgment to be
entered in accordance with the settlement agreement.

Judge Glenn ratified MFGH's entry into the Settlement Agreement,
conditioned upon: (a) reimbursement, on or prior to the Effective
Date of the Settlement Agreement, of MFGH for its previously
funded
$2.5 million contribution into the Escrow Account under the
Settlement Agreement and (b) upon the releases provided to
Holdings
and its affiliates under the Settlement Agreement becoming binding
and enforceable as provided in the Settlement Agreement.

No party will be entitled to any claim against the Debtors on
account of the reimbursement of MFGH for its previously funded
$2.5
million contribution into the Escrow Account, provided that any
funds received hereunder will be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Amended Interim Cash Collateral Order, Judge
Glenn ruled.  The reimbursement will not affect the amount being
paid to plaintiffs pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

The bankruptcy judge clarified that nothing in this order will
constitute a determination that ratification of the Settlement
Agreement or approval of the Settlement Agreement is or is not
required and the rights of all parties to the Settlement Agreement
are fully reserved.

At the Nov. 18 final hearing, District Court Judge Victor Marrero
said he will approve the Settlement Agreement, Bloomberg News
reported.  The district judge also said he will allow attorneys'
fees totaling $16.2 million, the report added.

           Had Access to Cash Collateral in November

Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York approved a stipulation extending MF Global
Holdings Ltd and MF Global Finance USA Inc.'s period to use
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s cash collateral from Nov. 16 to
Nov. 30, 2011.

A copy of the Debtors' proposed 13-week forecast of the expected
use of cash collateral is available for free at:

  http://bankrupt.com/misc/MFGlobal_Nov1toJan6CashCollBudget.pdf

The Debtors and JPMorgan entered the stipulation on or before the
November 16 expiration of the Debtors' use of cash collateral.

The deadline by which any objection on the part of any party-in-
interest to the Cash Collateral Motion on a permanent basis is
extended from November 23, 2011 to November 28, 2011.

Except as set forth in the parties' stipulations, no other terms
of the Amended Interim Cash Collateral Order will be deemed
amended, waived or otherwise modified by the Parties' Stipulations
and the Amended Interim Cash Collateral Order will remain in full
force and effect.

Queen's Quay Avante Limited joined in the Commodity Customer
Coalition's objection to the Cash Collateral Motion.  Queen's Quay
insists that in the event that any of the $600 million missing
funds are presently held or controlled by the Debtor, customers
have a right to those funds that is superior to the rights and
claims of other parties.

MF GLOBAL: Wins Approval for Misdirected Wires Protocol
-------------------------------------------------------
James W. Giddens, the SIPA trustee for MF Global Inc., sought and
obtained approval of procedures for the trustee to return wire
transfers misdirected to MFGI bank accounts, including procedures
to return misdirected wires of $250,000 or less, without further
court order.

The SIPA Trustee relates that based on his experience regarding
Misdirected Wires from prior SIPA liquidations, in many cases,
Misdirected Wires result from the failure of: (i) the beneficiary
of a particular transfer of funds to provide proper wiring
instructions to the party ordering or authorizing the transfer;
(ii) the Ordering Party to provide proper wiring instructions to
the sending institution; or (iii) the Sending Institution to
follow proper wiring instructions.

In the normal course of business, a Sending Institution can
recall funds sent in error with relative ease.  However, the SIPA
Trustee says that because MFGI is in liquidation under SIPA,
before returning any alleged Misdirected Wires, the Trustee must
investigate all funds alleged to be Misdirected Wires, and
confirm that those funds were in fact sent in error and are not
property of MFGI's estate, before the return of any funds.  This,
the SIPA Trustee adds, requires a careful review of all
information provided by the person or entity requesting the
Return and independent confirmation that the information provided
is accurate.

                      Proposed Procedures

A party alleging that any funds wired to an MFGI bank account
were sent in error and requesting the return of the alleged
Misdirected Wires must report it to the Trustee by sending a
completed Request Form for the Return of Misdirected Wires, which
will be available for download at http://www.mfglobaltrustee.com/

Once completed, the Requesting Party must send the Request Form
to an intake e-mail address mfgmisdirectedwires@hugheshubbard.com
with the subject line "New Request For The Return Of Misdirected
Wires."  Upon the Trustee's receipt of a Request Form, the
Requesting Party, will receive a return e-mail confirming the
receipt.  The Trustee's representatives will thereafter contact
the Requesting Party if they need additional information and once
they make a determination on whether to authorize a return.

If the Trustee authorizes a return, his representatives will
prepare the required documentation and send it to the Requesting
Party to obtain the relevant parties' signatures.  With respect
to returns of less than or equal to $250,000, the Trustee seeks
court authority to return those funds without further court
order.  The Trustee will file with the Court each quarter a
report summarizing the returns made of De Minimis Misdirected
Wires in the prior quarter containing information as to the
dates, amounts and recipients of those returns.

With respect to Returns above $250,000, the Trustee will seek
authorization from the Court to return the Misdirected Wires on
an ad hoc basis.  The Trustee will prepare a court stipulation
which must be signed by the Ordering Party and the Beneficiary.
In some cases, the Trustee might require the signature of the
Sending Institution or the Requesting Party.

Parties wishing to receive a return must acknowledge the accuracy
of the representations made to the Trustee in a particular
Request Form and, as a condition of receiving a return, sign a
release of claims against the Trustee, the MFGI estate and SIPC
with respect to the Misdirected Wire, including a release of any
claims for interest, costs and attorneys fees.

Upon receipt of signed documents or entry of the Court
Stipulation, as the case may be, the Trustee will authorize the
bank that received the Misdirected Wire from the Sending Bank to
issue a return according to the wire instructions provided in the
Request Form.  Thereafter, the Receiving Bank should return the
funds within a few business days.

The Trustee also seeks court authority to charge a service fee
for effectuating all returns, equal to 1% of the return amount up
to a maximum surcharge of $5,000 per return.  The Trustee seeks
authority, in his discretion, to waive the surcharge in
appropriate situations.

MF GLOBAL: Dearborn, et al., Demands 80% Cash Distribution
----------------------------------------------------------
Dearborn Capital Management LLC and other segregated account
holders ask the Court to compel James W. Gidden, trustee for the
liquidation of the business of MF Global Inc. under the Securities
Investor Protection Act, to make an interim distribution of cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities maintained in
segregated customer accounts.

Michael J. Edelman, Esq., at Vedder Price P.C., in Chicago,
Illinois -- argues that it is undisputable that each of the
Segregated Account Holders is entitled to recover the segregated
funds in their MFGI account; (ii) the segregated funds are
property of the Segregated Account Holders and not MFGI; and (iii)
each Segregated Account Holders' claim to those segregated funds
has priority over the claims of all other customers and creditors.
Moreover, the SIPA Trustee, the Commodities Futures Trading
Commission, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group and the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission all believe that MFGI currently
holds, at a minimum, approximately 88.4% of the segregated funds
required to make whole each of the commodity accountholders of
MFGI, he states.

Mr. Edelman avers that allowing the Segregated Account Holders to
withdraw, or transfer to another registered futures commission
merchant or broker-dealer, without restriction, stay or
encumbrance, 80% of the Cash/Liquid Assets held in their customer
accounts is fair and equitable, authorized by the Bankruptcy Code,
the CEA and the CFTC Regulations.  As each of the Segregated
Account Holders has liquidated or transferred their open commodity
positions, there is no justification for MFGI to retain their
Cash/Liquid Assets, he contends.  He adds that no MFGI creditor
can
have a higher priority than the Segregated Account Holders to the
sought Cash or Liquidated Assets in their MFGI accounts as those
assets is the property of the Segregated Account Holders.

Denying the Segregated Account Holders access to the Cash/Liquid
Assets "will compound the irreparable harm to the Customers and
all
other market participants, and inject additional uncertainty into
an already badly damaged marketplace," Mr. Edelman tells Judge
Glenn.

MF GLOBAL: Zybr Asks for Lift Stay to Withdraw Account
------------------------------------------------------
Zybr Holdings LLC asks the bankruptcy court to lift the automatic
stay to permit it to withdraw or transfer to an account maintained
at a registered Futures Commission Merchant, 85% of the cash
holdings in its segregated customer commodity account at MF Global
Inc.

Before entry of an order commencing liquidation of MF Global, Zybr
Holdings had liquidated its commodity positions in its segregated
customer account at MF Global.  As a result, Zybr Holdings holds
only cash in its account at MF Global.

Michael S. Fox, Esq., at Olsen Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky
LLP, in New York -- mfox@olshanlaw.com -- tells Judge Glenn that
Zybr is experiencing substantial hardship due to the uncertainty
and delay in gaining access to its cash currently frozen in its MF
Global segregated account.  This cash represents all of Zybr's
assets, he states.  Indeed, Zybr has been unable to access its
cash
since the automatic stay took effect on October 31, 2011, he
points
out.  He further notes that Zybr cannot enter into any commodities
and futures trades without the cash held at MF Global.

Although James W. Gidden, the trustee for the liquidation of the
business of MF Global Inc. under the Securities Investors
Protection Act, sought and obtained permission to return up to 60%
of cash held in segregated accounts, that amount is not sufficient
for Zybr to continue its trading operations and the 60% threshold
is unnecessarily low given that nearly 90% of MF Global's cash is
accounted for, Mr. Fox argues.

Against this backdrop, cause exists to allow Zybr to withdraw, or
transfer to another FCM, 85% of the cash held in its customer
account is fair and equitable, Mr. Fox asserts.  Without immediate
relief from the automatic stay and access to at least 85% of the
cash in its segregated account, Zybr will be unable to effectively
operate and may be forced to close its doors, he stresses.  He
assures the Court that Zybr's request for an immediate 85% partial
distribution remains a conservative request, which will allow the
SIPA Trustee to retain a sufficient cushion of funds above the
projected amount to account for any as of yet unknown additional
shortfalls.

Zybr asks the Court to shorten the notice with respect to its
request so that a hearing can be held on November 22, 2011.

MF GLOBAL: LME Completes Transfer of UK Client Contracts
--------------------------------------------------------
The London Metal Exchange (LME) said the process of transferring
client contracts with the U.K. unit of MF Global (MFGLQ.PK) to
other LME members had been completed, Reuters said in a Nov. 24
report.

"The process of transferring client contracts that satisfied
LCH.Clearnet's eligible criteria has been completed," the LME said
in a statement, according to Reuters.  "LCH.Clearnet will be
contacting all those who requested transfers."

Reuters noted that metals clients of MF Global UK had faced delays
in their positions being transferred to new brokers, partly
because of a problem with LME data, which slowed the migration
process.

J.P. Morgan (JPM.N) has agreed to buy all off MF Global's
shareholding in the LME after a competitive bidding process,
Reuters said in a Nov. 23 report, citing a statement by KPMG, the
administrators for the failed brokerage's UK unit.

KPMG did not give a price for the sale, Reuters noted, but
sources, according to the same report said J.P. Morgan would pay
GBP25 million (US$39 million) for the 4.7% stake in the LME,
implying a total value of around GBP530 million.

"It's a good price that they've paid," a source at a shareholder
company said, according to Reuters.  "The question is are they
looking at trying to make a quick profit or is it a much longer-
term investment?"

The report related that J.P. Morgan already has a 6.2% stake in
the LME, the world's largest metals market place, which has opened
its doors to potential suitors.  Increasing its stake alters the
landscape, as LME shareholders seek to protect their interests, or
make a profit, in any eventual takeover, the report added.

"We received a great deal of interest in the LME shares and are
pleased to be in the final stages of concluding a sale," Richard
Heis, joint special administrator of MF Global UK, told Reuters.

The LME had been due to open its books to potential bidders by
December 8, a spokesperson for the exchange said earlier,
according to Reuters, but a source close to the LME later said
this now seemed ambitious, and that the date could be pushed back.

The report noted that Goldman Sachs (GS.N) is also a large
shareholder in the LME.  Contenders for the 134-year old group are
the Chicago Mercantile Exchange CME.O and the
IntercontinentalExchange ICE.N energy market, both U.S. groups.

                            B-Shares

According to KPMG, J.P. Morgan will also buy the B-shares held by
MF Global.  Those would be bought for GBP2 million, Reuters said,
citing one of its sources.

B-shares, Reuters related, give holders the right to trade on the
LME and can be sold separately to other members of the exchange.
J.P. Morgan already holds B-shares, and it was unclear what would
happen to the new shares it would now acquire, the report said.

The report, however, said the LME stake sale could leave more
money for MF Global creditors.

Mr. Heis told Reuters that the process to sell other parts of MF
Global's UK business "continues apace and we are in negotiations
with several parties to this end."

Industry sources told Reuters that MF Global's ring dealing seat
on the LME will be bought by U.S.-based broker INTL FCStone
(INTL.O), although no price was given.

An industry source also told Reuters that MF Global's shares and
the ring dealing seat had been treated as separate assets.  J.P.
Morgan already has a ring dealing seat on the LME, Reuters noted.

Mr. Heis also said KPMG had prepared a timeline for the return of
client assets and funds.

According to a separate Financial Times report, customers of MF
Global's UK arm will be able to apply for a partial return of
their funds in two weeks' time.

KPMG will be announcing on Monday that clients would be able to
submit claims from December 8, FT disclosed.  This will likely
lead to an early return of some funds to some market participants
like spread betting companies, the report added.

FT noted that confirmation that KPMG plans an early interim
distribution comes after the trustee overseeing MF Global Inc.'s
liquidation won court permission to access funds.

MICHAEL KENNETH NEMEE: Court Bars Use of Golf Course
----------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Ronald H. Sargis entered judgment in favor of
Calaveras County, California, in a lawsuit over the proper
interpretation and application of the Calaveras County Zoning
Ordinances as to a 160-acre parcel and 120-acre parcel, both in
Calaveras County, which are owned by Michael and Michelle Nemee.

In a Nov. 21, 2011 Memorandum Opinion and Decision available at
http://is.gd/h2T5Q2from Leagle.com, the Court denied all relief
requested by the Plaintiffs.  Further, the Court entered judgment
on the Counterclaim in favor of Calaveras County and against the
Plaintiffs, and each of them, for a permanent injunction enjoining
the use of the 18-hole golf course on the Property, authorizing
the County to abate the continued used of the 18 hole golf course
on the Property through the enforcement of the permanent
injunction issued by the Court, and awards costs, fees, and
expenses to the County.

The Nemees have constructed and are operating a commercial 18-hole
golf course through Trinitas Enterprises, LLC, a limited liability
company they own, which is also property of the bankruptcy estate.
The Plaintiffs assert that the development and operation of a
commercial golf course on the Property are permitted as
"Agritourism" under the Calaveras County Zoning Ordinances.
Alternatively, if the commercial 18-hole golf course is not
Agritourism, the Plaintiffs assert that the County is equitably
estopped from asserting that the use and operation of this
commercial golf course by the Plaintiffs violates the Zoning
Ordinances.

The County has not only answered the Second Amended Complaint
denying the allegations and requesting judgment in its favor, but
also filed a counterclaim for injunctive relief to enjoin the
alleged violations of the County Zoning Ordinances.

Prior to and during the pendency of this litigation, the
development and use of the Property as a commercial 18-hole golf
course was the subject of County review and nonjudicial political
proceedings before the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors.
When that nonjudicial process failed to produce a satisfactory
resolution for the Plaintiffs, they continued with the prosecution
of the Adversary Proceeding, which concluded with a three-day
court trial.  Through this trial the parties presented extensive
evidence concerning the decade-long odyssey involving the
Plaintiffs, the County, investors, members of the golf club
operated on the Property, and other persons who envisioned a golf
course and destination resort known as the Ridge at Trinitas on
the Property.

MICHAEL KENNETH NEMEE and MICHELLE SEOBHAN McKEE NEMEE, v. COUNTY
OF CALAVERAS, Adv. Proc. No. 09-9088 (Bankr. E.D. Calif.), was
originally commenced by the Plaintiffs in the California Superior
Court, Calaveras County.  The original state court complaint was
filed on May 15, 2009, with a first amended state court complaint
filed on September 15, 2009.

The Nemees filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D. Calif.
Case No. 09-93249) on Oct. 7, 2009.


MOORE SORRENTO: Has Access to Wells Fargo's Cash Until Jan. 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
authorized, in a fourth interim order, Moore Sorrento, LLC, to use
the cash collateral which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., asserts an
interest.

The Debtor's authority to use cash collateral will terminate on
Jan. 1, 2012, at 12:00 a.m., Prevailing Central Time.  The final
hearing to consider the Debtor's request for approval of the
motion will be held on Jan. 5, at 1:30 p.m.

As of the Petition Date, Wells Fargo asserts a perfected and
senior priority lien on the Wells Fargo Collateral to secure
payment of the First Note, as reflected by, among other things,
that certain Mortgage (with Power of Sale), Security Agreement,
Assignment of Rents and Financing Statement dated Nov. 7, 2007,
and that certain Assignment of Rents dated Nov. 7, 2007.

The Debtor will use the cash collateral to fund its business
operations.  The Debtor must not exceed the expenditures by 10% on
any line item basis or 10% of the total monthly expenditures,
provided that the Debtor will not make any payments to or for the
benefit of any "insider".

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Debtor is
authorized to:

   a) use up to $76,562 of Excess Cash during the month of
   November 2011 to make one or more payments to one or more of
   the T.I. Tenants in order to reduce the unpaid balance of the
   T.I.s owed by the Debtor to the T.I. Tenants; and

   b) use up to an additional $76,562 of Excess Cash during the
   month of December 2011 to make one or more payments to one or
   more of the T.I. Tenants in order to reduce the unpaid balance
   of the T.I.s owed by the Debtor to the T.I. Tenants.

The Debtor will have sole and complete discretion to determine the
portion, if any, of the $76,562 of Excess Cash the Debtor is
authorized to expend in both November 2011 and December 2011;
provided, however, that the Debtor will not pay to any particular
T.I. Tenant an amount exceeding the amount necessary to fully
satisfy the unpaid balance of the T.I. owed by the Debtor to T.I.
Tenant.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of the lender's
collateral, the Debtors will grant Wells Fargo replacement liens
on the prepetition Wells Fargo collateral, and property acquired
by the Debtor after the Petition Date; and superpriority
administrative expense claim.

As additional adequate protection:

   -- the Debtor will make (a) an adequate protection payment to
   Wells Fargo by Nov. 10, 2011, in the amount of $100,000, and
   (b) an adequate protection payment to Wells Fargo by Dec. 10,
   2011, in the amount of $100,000.  The payments will be applied
   to outstanding interest due under the loans.

   -- on or before the 10th day of each month, the Debtor will
   deposit escrows for real estate taxes ($23,100) and insurance
   ($3,300), which amounts will be held by Wells Fargo in reserve
   accounts pending further order of the Court.

2011, The Financial Times related that Mouchel was forced to knock

NCO GROUP: Proposes to Offer $300 Million of Senior Notes
---------------------------------------------------------
NCO Group, Inc., proposes to commence an offering through a
private placement, subject to market and other conditions,
including approval of the Company's Board of Directors, of $300
million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes.  The notes

offering of the notes, the Company anticipates changing its name

The notes and related guarantees are being offered in a private

compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The notes
and related guarantees have not been registered under the
Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements.

This notice does not constitute an offer to sell the notes, nor a
solicitation for an offer to purchase the notes, in any
jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be
unlawful.  Any offer of the notes will be made only by means of a
private offering memorandum.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 2, 2011,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded NCO Group, Inc.'s CFR to Caa1
from B3 and changed the outlook to negative.  Simultaneously,
Moody's has also downgraded each of NCO's debt instrument ratings
by one notch and lower the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to
SGL-4 from SGL3.  The downgrade reflects Moody's concern that
greater than expected revenue declines and continued earnings
pressure will extend beyond current levels due to deteriorating
consumer payment patterns and weaker volumes.  In addition,
Moody's expects financial flexibility will be further aggravated
by tightening headroom under its financial covenants and a
potential breach of covenants which will limit the company's
ability to draw upon its revolver.  Also, the company faces an
impending maturity on its $100 million senior secured revolving
credit facility due November of 2011.

Additional fees may be incurred in connection with consulting
services to be performed.

The firm's rates are:

no connection to the Debtors, their creditors, or other
significant parties as were identified by the Debtors and whose
names were provided to Deloitte Tax.

OCEAN PLACE: AFP 104 Files Outline for Amended Liquidating Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Secured creditor AFP 104 Corp. filed on Nov. 15, 2011, a
Disclosure Statement for its proposed First Amended Plan of
Liquidation for Ocean Place Development, LLC.  As reported in the
TCR on Sept. 7, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of New Jersey terminated the Debtor's exclusive periods within
which to file a Chapter 11 plan and to solicit acceptances to that
plan.

The disclosure statement has not been approved by the Bankruptcy
Court.  Once approved, AFP will seek approval of its Plan at a
confirmation hearing on Jan. 18, 2012.

The Plan contemplates the sale of substantially all the Debtor's
Assets to a Purchaser, which will be the party that submits the
highest and best offer for the Debtor's assets at an Auction to be
conducted after the Confirmation Date.

Although substantially all of the Debtor's Assets will be sold to
the Purchaser through the Sale, the Avoidance Actions, a Cash
payment of $600,000, and any proceeds from the Sale in excess of
AFP's Secured Claim will be transferred to a Liquidating Trust for
the purpose of, among other things, liquidating the Assets of the
Liquidating Trust and making Distributions to the Debtor's
Unsecured Creditors.

The key terms of the Plan are summarized below:

1) AFP will be granted an Allowed Secured Claim in the amount of
the lesser of (i) the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser or (ii)
the amount asserted by AFP in its Proof of Claim.

If AFP is the eventual Purchaser at the Sale, AFP will receive
under the Plan in full and final satisfaction of its Secured
Claim, the AFP Collateral, except for: (i) Cash Collateral in an
amount sufficient to fund the Unsecured Creditor Carveout
(i.e., $600,000) and (ii) Avoidance Actions.

If AFP is not the eventual Purchaser at the Sale, AFP will receive
Cash on the Effective Date in the amount of the AFP Secured Claim
in full and final satisfaction of the AFP Secured Claim.

2) That portion of the AFP Claim (if any) that exceeds the amount
of the AFP Secured Claim (i.e., the AFP Deficiency Claim) will l
be deemed an Allowed Unsecured Claim and will be included within
Class 3 under the Plan, provided, however, that AFP will not
receive any Distribution from the Liquidating Trust on account of
its AFP Deficiency Claim, thereby not diluting the Distributions
to Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims.

3) Holders of Allowed Other Secured Claims (if any) will receive
in full and final satisfaction of their Allowed Other Secured
Claims any Collateral upon which Holders of Allowed Other Secured
Claims hold valid first priority Liens.

4) A Liquidating Trust, which will be administered by the
Liquidating Trustee, will be established under the Plan for the
benefit of Holders of Class 3 Unsecured Claims.

5) The Plan proposes to reclassify the Other Equity Claims, which
were filed in the Bankruptcy Case as unsecured Claims, as Equity
Interests.  Assuming that the Sale does not generate sale proceeds
in excess of the amount needed to pay Class 3 Unsecured Claims in
full, Holders of Equity Interests and Other Equity Claims in Class
4 will not receive any Distributions under the Plan.

AFP will guarantee the payment of Allowed Administrative Expenses
of the Estate in the eventuality that the Plan is confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court but the Effective Date of the Plan fails to
occur.

The Plan designates 3 Classes of Claims and 1 Class of Interests:

        Class 1. AFP Secured Claim
        Class 2. Other Secured Claim
        Class 3. Unsecured Claims
        Class 4. Equity Interests and Other Equity Claims

Under the Plan, only Holders of claims in Classes 1 and 3 are
impaired by the Plan and entitled to vote to accept or reject the
Plan.  Claims in Class 2 are unimpaired by the Plan and the
Holders thereof are conclusively presumed to have accepted the
Plan.  Claims and Equity Interests in Class 4 are not receiving
any property under the Plan, and therefore, are presumed by
the Bankruptcy Code to have rejected the Plan.

PENSON WORLDWIDE: Moody's Downgrades CFR to Caa1; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Corporate Family Rating
and Senior Secured Ratings of Penson Worldwide, Inc. to Caa1 from
B2 (RUR). The outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating action reflects Moody's view that Penson's core
operating profitability will continue to be challenged by a slump
in trading volumes, margin compression, and the burden of high
interest service costs associated with increased leverage from
several prior acquisitions. This has challenged the company's
ability to service its debt unless it succeeds in a number of
initiatives.

"Penson's success in executing on strategic asset sales of its
Australian, UK, and Canadian broker dealer subsidiaries to
generate cash in the short term will be critical in determining
whether the company will be able to service its debt obligations
over the next several quarters," said Al Bush, Moody's senior
analyst.

Moody's noted that while Penson faces significant execution risk
in the sale of its non-US broker dealer subsidiaries and reducing
infrastructure costs, the company has had good success thus far in
executing several key planned initiatives to improve the company's
profitability. Moody's cites Penson's success in combining its
broker dealer and Futures Commission Merchant subsidiaries to
free-up capital and costs and the company's recent announcement of
a definitive agreement with BNY Mellon to acquire Penson's
Australian subsidiary, Penson Financial Services Pty LTD.

The last rating action on Penson was on August 5, 2011 when the
Corporate Family Rating and Senior Secured rating was downgraded
to B2 from B1, with the rating remaining under review for further
possible downgrade.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Securities Industry Methodology published in December 2006.


PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA: Judge OKs Turn Over Pension Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that the Philadelphia Orchestra
Association got clearance to turn over its revenue-draining
pension promises to a federal agency, relieving a financial burden
for the music association that's trying to restructure its
business under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

                    About Philadelphia Orchestra

The Philadelphia Orchestra -- http://www.philorch.org/-- claims
to be among the world's leading orchestras. Bloomberg News says
the orchestra became the first major U.S. symphony to file for
bankruptcy protection, surprising the music world.

Previous conductors include Fritz Scheel (1900-07), Carl Pohlig
(1907-12), Leopold Stokowski (1912-41), Eugene Ormandy (1936-80),
Riccardo Muti (1980-92), Wolfgang Sawallisch (1993-2003), and
Christoph Eschenbach (2003-08). Charles Dutoit is currently chief
conductor, and Yannick Nezet-Seguin has assumed the title of music
director designate until he takes up the baton as The Philadelphia
Orchestra's next music director in 2012.

The Philadelphia Orchestra Association, The Academy of Music of
Philadelphia, Inc., and Encore Series, Inc., filed separate
Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. E.D. Pa. Case Nos. 11-13098 to
11-13100) on April 16, 2011. Judge Eric L. Frank presides over
the case. The Philadelphia Orchestra Association is being advised
by Dilworth Paxson LLP, its legal counsel, and Alvarez & Marsal,
its financial advisor. Curley, Hessinger & Johnsrud serves as its
special counsel. Philadelphia Orchestra disclosed $15,950,020 in
assets and $704,033 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

Encore Series, Inc., tapped EisnerAmper LLP as accountants and
financial advisors.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed
seven members to the official committee of unsecured creditors in
the Debtors' case. Reed Smith LLP serves as the Committee's
counsel.


PHILLIPS RENTAL: Hires Bearfield & Associates as Special Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------------
Phillips Rental Properties, LLC asks permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee to employ
Bearfield & Associates as special counsel.

Upon retention, the firm will, among other things:

   1. continue to handle the following litigation which was
     commenced prior to Bankruptcy, the resolution of which is
     required to further the Debtor's efforts to reorganize:

     A. Arthur R. Roberts v. Gary Phillips Construction, LLC, et
     al, Civil Action No. 27592 in the Circuit Court for the First
     Judicial District at Jonesborough, Tennessee;

     B. Probuild Company, LLC v. Gary Phillips Construction, LLC,
     et al, Civil Action No. B0022509(M) in the Chancery Court for

     et al, Civil Action No. 40158, in the Chancery Court for the

   2. investigate such possible causes of action and pursue same,
      if warranted, arising out of contracts and other business
      relationships between Debtor and third parties prior to and
      leading up to Bankruptcy, as is agreed to in writing by
      the Debtor and Bearfield & Associates; and

   3. assist and undertake representation on its behalf concerning
      any contested adversarial matter necessary to effectuate
      the DIP's Chapter 11 reorganization, as is agreed to in
      writing by DIP and Bearfield & Associates.

Bearfield & Associates is not disinterested because it has
represented the Debtor in the past and some creditors of the
Debtor.  However, Law firm is not disqualified for employment as
special counsel by Applicant pursuant to 11 U.S.C.A. Sec. 327(e)
because of its status because, as appears from the Affidavits of
Rick J. Bearfield  and Jason B. Shorter, attorneys at Bearfield &
Associates, the law firm does not represent or hold any interest
adverse to the Debtor or its estate with respect to the special
matters upon which such firm is to be employed.

                 About Phillips Rental Properties

Piney Flats, Tennessee-based Phillips Rental Properties, LLC,
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. E.D. Tenn. Case
No. 10-53129) on Dec. 7, 2010.  Fred M. Leonard, Esq. --
fredmleonard@earthlink.net -- in Bristol, Tennessee, serves as the
Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.  According to its schedules, the
Debtor disclosed $13,499,682 in total assets and $9,650,892 in
total liabilities.  No unsecured creditors committee has been
appointed in the case.


QUALITY PROPERTIES: Bankr. Court to Hear Mechanics' Lien Suits
--------------------------------------------------------------
Various adversary proceedings, in which Quality Properties LLC,
was named as a defendant, were originally commenced as civil
actions in either the Shelby County, Alabama Circuit or the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, and were
removed to the Bankruptcy Court by the Debtor pursuant to 28
U.S.C. Sections 1334 and 1452(a):

     (1) AP 10-40118 Roof Curb Systems, LLC v. Debtor and Pine
         Apple Conveyor Service, Inc.;

     (2) AP 10-40119 Universal Door Systems, Inc. v. Pine Apple;
         Marvin's, Inc.; Debtor; Mark Monk; and First National
         Bank of Talladega;

     (3) AP 10-40120 Building Materials Wholesale, Inc. v. Pine
         Apple; Ted L. Monk, Ava B. Monk, Debtor; and FNBT;

     (4) AP 10-40121 Shelby Concrete Co., Inc. v. Pine Apple; Ted
         L. Monk; Ava B. Monk; Debtor; and FNBT;

     (5) AP 10-40122 The Sherwin-Williams Co. v. Pine Apple;
         Debtor; and FNBT;

     (6) AP 10-40123 Construction Materials, Inc. v. Pine Apple;
         Ted L. Monk; Mark Monk; Debtor; Marvin's, Inc.; and FNBT;
         and

     (7) AP 10-40124 Pine Apple v. Debtor and FNBT.

All the plaintiffs in the Removed APs made monetary demands for
amounts they alleged were due for labor and materials provided for
the construction of a Marvin's Building Materials & Home Center
Store, which is owned by the Debtor.  Those same plaintiffs
claimed mechanics' liens against the Project.  Pine Apple alleged
it was the general contractor for the Project, and the other
plaintiffs alleged they were subcontractors.  First National Bank
of Talladega made a loan to the Debtor to finance the construction
of the Project, and that loan is allegedly secured by a mortgage
against the Project.  Because of common questions of law and fact,
the Removed APs were consolidated in, QUALITY PROPERTIES, LLC, v.
PINE APPLE CONVEYOR SERVICE, INC. et al., AP No. 10-40132 (Bankr.
N.D. Ala.).  The Debtor seeks a determination of the validity and
extent of the several mechanics' liens and of FNBT's mortgage, as
well as their respective priorities, all of which allegedly
encumber the Project.

Some of the subcontractor-plaintiffs named Mark Monk, Ted L. Monk
and/or Ava B. Monk as defendants in their complaints because one
or more of the Monks allegedly guaranteed Pine Apple's obligation
to pay those subcontractors.  Marvin's was apparently named as a
defendant by some of the subcontractor-plaintiffs because Marvin's
has an interest in the Project as lessee.

In a Nov. 29, 2011 Opinion and Order, available at
http://is.gd/Q8HOnlfrom Leagle.com, Bankruptcy Judge James J.
Robinson ruled that the causes of action in the removed adversary
proceedings and consolidated adversary proceeding -- with the
exception of the claims asserted against the Monks -- are core
proceedings under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 157(b)(2) and further found that
there are no constitutional limitations that prohibit the
Bankruptcy Court from exercising jurisdiction over the
proceedings.  Moreover, with the exception of the claims asserted
against the Monks, there are no convincing grounds for abstention
and remand to the State Courts.  Accordingly, the motions and
requests to abstain or remand made by Pine Apple and Construction
Materials are denied.  Inasmuch as the Monks are neither debtors
nor creditors in the case, and they apparently claim no interest
in the Project or other property of the estate, the causes of
action asserted against them in Removed APs 10-40119, 10-40120,
10-40121 and 10-40123 are remanded to the Circuit Court of Shelby
County, Alabama.

Albertville, Alabama-based Quality Properties, LLC, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Ala. Case No. 10-42783) on
Oct. 1, 2010.  Harry P. Long, Esq., in Anniston, Alabama,
serves as bankruptcy counsel.  It scheduled assets of $6,255,000
and debts of $6,932,388.


RAIN CII: S&P Lifts Corp. Credit Rating to 'BB-'; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate
credit rating on U.S.-based calcined petroleum coke (CPC) producer
Rain CII Carbon LLC (RCCL) to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The outlook is
stable.

"At the same time, we raised the issue rating on the company's
senior secured notes to 'BB' from 'BB-'.  We also affirmed the
recovery rating on the notes at '2'," S&P said.

"We raised the rating on RCCL because we expect the company's
operating performance to remain strong in fiscal 2012, after a
likely better-than-expected performance this year," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Vishal Kulkarni.  "Our view is based on
the likelihood of healthy demand for CPC due to steady aluminum
production volumes."

"We expect RCCL's capacity utilization to be stable at about 70%
over the next two years.  The company's financial performance is
likely to remain commensurate with the 'BB-' rating.  While RCCL's
operating performance should be strong in fiscal 2012, its margins
could be lower than in 2010 due to weak macroeconomic conditions
and a drop in CPC demand. Nevertheless, we do not expect RCCL's
aggressive financial risk profile to substantially deteriorate
because of the margin deterioration," S&P said.

"We expect RCCL's debt to be stable at $420 million over the next
two years. We estimate the ratio of debt to EBITDA to be less than
3.0x and the ratio of funds from operations (FFO) to debt to be
about 25% over the same period. RCCL is investing in a waste heat
recovery project that is likely to come on-stream in the last
quarter of 2012. We expect this new facility to generate $10
million EBITDA a year from 2013. RCCL has deferred its earlier
plan of setting up a second waste heat recovery project due to
currently weak electricity demand. The company is also evaluating
the government benefits for such projects.

The lowering of capital expenditure due to the deferral will
benefit RCCL's cash flow and liquidity," S&P said.

"The stable outlook on RCCL reflects our expectation that the
company's operating and financial performance will remain strong
over the next 18-24 months," said Mr. Kulkarni.

"We are unlikely to raise the ratings in the next year. We may,
however, raise the rating if: (1) RCCL's competitive position
strengthens with improved size and scope, better market position,
and increased diversity in its suppliers and revenues; (2)
industry conditions and CPC demand get better; and (3) RCCL's
financial risk profile improves such that its ratio of debt to
EBITDA and its debt-to-capital ratio are less than 2.5x and less
than 45% on a sustainable basis," S&P said.

"We may lower the rating if RCCL is unable to sustain the
improvement in its operating performance or its financial
performance weakens. A downward rating trigger is a ratio of
adjusted debt to EBITDA of more than 3.5x on a sustained basis,"
S&P said.

SENECA GAMING: Moody's Lowers Corporate Family Rating to 'B2'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered Seneca Gaming Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") and Probability of Default rating
to B2 from B1 and the rating of its $325 million senior unsecured
notes due 2018 to B2 from B1. Moody's also affirmed the company's
SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity rating. The rating outlook
remains negative.

The rating action is:

Ratings lowered:

Corporate Family Rating -- to B2 from B1

Probability of Default Rating -- to B2 from B1

$325 million senior unsecured notes due 2018 -- to B2 (LGD4, 55%)
from B1 (LGD4, 55%)

Rating affirmed:

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating - SGL-3

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating action reflects the continued uncertainties surrounding
the unresolved Gaming Compact dispute with the State of New York
and ongoing IRS and NIGC reviews and the risk that these
uncertainties could rise materially in the near to medium term.
Moody's notes the lack of meaningful progress made to date in
settling the Compact dispute between the Seneca Nation ("Nation")-
owner of SGC's casino operation- and New York State with regard to
exclusivity fees. Moody's views the recent announcement by the
Nation to seek expedited arbitration to resolve the issue after
more than one-year of unsuccessful negotiations with the State as
a major setback and expects a formal arbitration process will
likely commence in the near term.

The downside risk to the Nation and SGC from the arbitration
decision is partially mitigated by the fact that SGC has continued
to pay the full exclusivity fees to the Nation and that the
amounts otherwise due (more than $300 million to date, which will
continue to grow) have been reserved by the Nation. However, it is
difficult for Moody's to completely rule out the possibility that
the gaming compact could be terminated either by a final
arbitration decision or by the State subject to certain
conditions. In the extreme event that the Compact is terminated,
such action could have a material adverse effect on SGC's ability
to operate Class III gaming activities in New York State.

Moody's recognizes SGC's overall solid operating performance in
the past year despite the rising competition from Pennsylvania and
still weak economic conditions in Western New York, partly thanks
to its robust revenue growth at Niagara Falls and Buffalo Creek
casinos that more than offset the weak results in Allegany
facility. Moody's also expects SGC to maintain stable revenue and
earnings in the coming year even with new competition rising
further in 2012 when large casinos are scheduled to open in Ohio.
In addition, SGC's debt/EBITDA is expected to decline further to
well below 4.0x partly due to term loan amortization and its
liquidity position to remain adequate in the next 12 months.
"However, rising uncertainties from the Compact dispute, in
Moody's view, have outweighed the otherwise good operating
performance, hence a lower rating at B2 is more consistent with
SGC's current risk profile," commented Moody's lead analyst, John
Zhao.

The negative rating outlook contemplates the negotiated and
political nature of the Compact settlement process, as well as the
uncertainties as to its timing and future outcome. The outlook
also considers the continued uncertainties surrounding the
Internal Revenue Service's ("IRS") pending review of the Nation
and a review by the National Indian Gaming Commission ("NIGC")
ongoing since 2007.

Ratings could be downgraded if the risk of an adverse development
or unfavorable outcome arising from resolution of the Compact
dispute and/or arbitration process that could impair SGC's gaming
operations and debt service capability were to increase.
Separately, ratings could be lowered if debt/EBITDA were to
increase significantly or liquidity were to deteriorate.

A higher rating is unlikely over the foreseeable future given the
currently unresolved status of the Compact dispute and the ongoing
IRS review. The ratings outlook could return to stable if the
Compact dispute and IRS review are resolved without a material
operating or financial impairment to SGC and the company
demonstrates the ability to maintain leverage below 4.5 times.

The principal methodology used in rating Seneca Gaming Corporation
was the Global Gaming Industry Methodology published in December
2009. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Seneca Gaming Corporation owns and operates Seneca Niagara Falls
Casino and Hotel in Niagara Falls, NY, Seneca Allegany Casino and
Hotel in Salamanca, NY, and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Erie
County, NY. Net revenues for the twelve-month period ended June
30, 2011 were approximately $619 million.


SINCLAIR TELEVISION: Moody's Affirms 'Ba3' Corp. Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investor Services assigned Ba1, LGD2 -- 24% ratings to
Sinclair Television Group, Inc.'s ("STG") proposed $100 Million1st
Lien Senior Secured Revolver, $250 Million incremental 1st Lien
Senior Secured Term Loan A and $280 Million incremental 1st Lien
Senior Secured Term Loan B. The proposed credit facilities are
being issued to fund Sinclair's acquisition of Four Points Media
LLC and Freedom Communication's television assets. Moody's also
downgraded ratings on the existing 1st lien senior secured term
loan A due 2016 and 1st lien senior secured term loan B due 2016
to Ba1, LGD2 -- 24% from Baa3, LGD2 -- 12% given that these
existing credit facilities are pari passu with the new incremental
term loans. The downgrades reflect the increase in senior secured
debt balances and the relatively smaller cushion provided by 2nd
lien and subordinated notes. Moody's also downgraded the rating on
the 2nd Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2017 to B1, LGD5 -- 71% from
Ba3, LGD4 -- 53%. In addition, Moody's affirmed STG's parent,
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.'s ("Sinclair") Ba3 Corporate Family
Rating, Probability of Default Rating, as well as the company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity (SGL) Rating at SGL -- 2. Ratings for
all other debt instrument ratings were unchanged; however, Loss-
Given-Default point estimates were updated for the new mix. The
rating outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Ba3 CFR reflects moderately high leverage of approximately
4.8x on a trailing 8 quarter basis through December 2012
(including Moody's standard adjustments, or approximately 4.7x on
a trailing 4 quarter basis) and incorporates higher levels of
production expense attributed to increasing reverse compensation
paid to its major networks. Ratings are supported by Moody's
expectations for strong political advertising for television
broadcasting companies through the end of 2012 combined with
EBITDA margins in excess of 30% generated by the company's sizable
and diverse television station group. Ratings incorporate Moody's
expectation that the company will achieve most of its planned
synergies for the Four Points Media and Freedom acquisitions
shortly after closing. Moody's believes Sinclair will continue to
generate mid-single digit free cash flow-to-debt ratios and will
apply free cash flow to reduce debt balances, in the absence of
additional acquisitions. The improved financial leverage (compared
to 5.4x on a trailing 8 quarter basis at FYE 2010) provides some
cushion to the company's dependence on cyclical advertising
spending. Ratings reflect moderately high financial risk, the
inherent cyclicality of the broadcast television business, and
increasing media fragmentation. Somewhat mitigating these risks
are the company's expanded and sizable TV station portfolio, which
includes 40 stations that will benefit from favorable duopoly
structures and 4 stations that benefit from joint service
arrangements, as well as a national footprint covering 39 markets.
Ratings incorporate Moody's expectations that the company will
maintain good liquidity and will continue to fund quarterly
dividends from excess cash.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's favorable revenue expectations
through the end of 2012 combined with the company's recurring
EBITDA generation in excess of $300 million. The outlook
incorporates the proposed $530 million increase in debt balances
to fund the acquisitions of Four Points and Freedom stations in
1Q2012. Absent acquisitions, Moody's expects Sinclair will
continue to reduce debt balances as cash is generated from
operations.

Ratings could be downgraded if two year average debt-to-EBITDA
ratios are sustained above 5.50x (incorporating Moody's standard
adjustments) or if distributions, share repurchases or
deterioration in operating performance results in free cash flow-
to-debt ratios falling below 4%. Ratings could also be downgraded
if liquidity deteriorates due to dividends, share buybacks, debt
financed acquisitions, or decreased EBITDA cushion to financial
covenants. Ratings could be upgraded if Sinclair's two year
average debt-to-EBITDA ratios are sustained comfortably below
4.25x with free cash flow-to-debt ratios in the high single-digit
range and management showed a commitment to financial policies
consistent with the higher rating. An upgrade would also require
expectations for good liquidity and positive free cash flow.

The principal methodology used in rating Sinclair was the Global
Broadcast Industry Methodology published in June 2008. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., headquartered in Baltimore, MD, is
a television broadcaster, operating 73 stations in 39 markets (pro
forma for recently announced acquisitions) primarily through
Sinclair Television Group, Inc. ("STG"). The company's television
group affiliations include FOX (20 stations), MyNetworkTV (18), CW
(13), ABC (11), CBS (9), and NBC (1). The company currently has 11
stations operating under local marketing agreements including
seven stations owned by Cunningham Broadcasting Corporation
("Cunningham"); revenues related to LMA's operated in FY2010
totaled $118.5 million. Through the 12 months ending September
2011, consolidated revenue totaled approximately $777 million.

SOLYNDRA LLC: Committee's Fees Being Cut to $5,000 a Week
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that lenders for Solyndra LLC are cutting down how much
the creditors committee's professionals can spend.  Financing for
the Chapter 11 case originally limited the committee to spending
not more than $10,000 a week.  Beginning Jan. 15, the committee
and its professionals can run up no more than $5,000 a week in
costs.  The committee agreed to the cut.

According to the report, Solyndra still hopes someone will buy the
business as a going concern.  If there's more than one bid, there
will be a Jan. 19 auction.  If no buyer steps forward willing to
buy and run the plant, Solyndra is arranging an old-fashioned
piece by piece auction to be held the week of Jan. 23.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that Solyndra was originally scheduled to
hold the turnkey auction on Nov. 22.  It was rescheduled to
January when there was no acceptable offer.  There will be a
second auction of non-core assets on Dec. 13.  The first non-core
auction generated $6.2 million.

                       About Solyndra LLC

Founded in 2005, Solyndra LLC is a U.S. manufacturer of solar
photovoltaic solar power systems specifically designed for large
commercial and industrial rooftops and for certain shaded
agriculture applications.  The Company had 968 full time employees
and 211 temporary employees.  Solyndra has sold more than 500,000
of its panels since 2008 and generated cumulative sales of over
$250 million.

Fremont, California-based Solyndra and affiliate 360 Degree Solar
Holdings Inc. sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Del. Lead Case No. 11-12799) on Sept. 6, 2011.  Solyndra is at
least the third solar company to seek court protection from
creditors since August 2011.

Solyndra owed secured lenders $783.8 million, including
$527.8 million to the U.S. government pursuant to a federal loan
guarantee, and held assets valued at $859 million as of the
Petition date.  The U.S. Federal Financing Bank, owned by the U.S.
Treasury Department, is the Company's biggest lender.

In the Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors are pursuing a two-pronged
strategy to effectuate either a sale of their business to a
"turnkey" buyer who may acquire substantially all of Solyndra's
assets or, if the Debtors are unable to identify any such
potential buyers, an orderly liquidation of the Debtors' assets
for the benefit of their creditors.

Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the Debtors' cases.  The
Debtors are represented by Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as
legal adviser.  AlixPartners LLP serves as noticing claims and
balloting agent.  Imperial Capital LLC serves as the company's
investment banker and financial adviser.  The Debtors also tapped
former Massachusetts Governor William F. Weld, now with the law
firm McDermott Will & Emery, to represent the company in
government investigations and related litigation.  BDO Consulting,
a division of BDO USA, LLP, as financial advisor and BDO Capital
Advisors, LLC, serves as investment banker for the creditors'
panel.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed seven
unsecured creditors to serve on the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors of Solyndra LLC.  The Committee has tapped
Blank Rome LLP as counsel.

Solyndra is at least the fourth solar company to seek court
protection from creditors since August 2011.  Other solar firms
are Evergreen Solar and start-up Spectrawatt Inc., both of which
filed in August, and Stirling Energy Systems Inc., which filed for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy late in September.


SOUTH COUNTY: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' Rating on Outstanding Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Ba1 long-term ratings
assigned to South County Hospital's (SCH) $50.7 million of
outstanding bonds. The outlook is stable.

SUMMARY RATING RATIONALE

The affirmation of the Ba1 bond rating and maintenance of the
stable outlook reflect SCH's favorable financial performance in
fiscal year (FY) 2011 with an operating surplus for the first time
in over a decade and better cash flow generation which improved
debt coverage ratios. Furthermore, the affirmation incorporates
the Hospitals strong market share, highly loyal medical staff and
maintenance of absolute liquidity. These attributes are offset by
SCH's small size, declining inpatient admissions, vulnerability to
physician departures given the small size of the medical staff and
its higher risk debt profile and investment allocation.

STRENGTHS

*Continued improved financial performance in unaudited fiscal year
(FY) 2011 with $11.2 million of operating cash flow (8.7% margin)
compared to results in FY 2010 with $8.2 million of operating cash
flow (6.8% margin); In FY 2011, the hospital recorded it first
operating surplus in Moody's rating history (since 1995) with $1.4
million in operating income (1.1% margin)

*Improving volume trends in FY 2011 compared to FY 2010 with
growth in combined inpatient admissions and observation stays
(4.4%; inpatient admissions alone declined 0.9%) and total
surgeries (2.5%); revenue grew 6.2% in FY 2011 compared to FY 2010

*Improving debt measures attributable to improved operating
performance and continued debt pay down; debt-to-cash flow of 4.3
times, debt-to-operating revenue of 39% and maximum annual debt
service (MADS) coverage of 3.6 times in FY 2011 compared to 5.9
times, 45%, and 2.9 times in FY 2010, respectively

*Maintenance of balance sheet levels with absolute liquidity
holding at $40 million at fiscal year end (FYE) 2011 equating to
cash on hand of 121 days, favorable to Moody's 2010 Ba1 median of
77 days

*Leading market share (53%) in Washington County, Rhode Island
with limited competition, the nearest hospitals are approximately
a 45 minute drive away; market share has remained stable in recent
years

*Favorable demographics in Washington County, RI with unemployment
rate below the national and state averages, above average median
household incomes and a diversified employment market with
University of Rhode Island's as the largest employer and a strong
summer vacation season

*Favorable payor mix with approximately 45% commercial payers, 45%
Medicare and low 5.7% Medicaid

CHALLENGES

*Small sized community hospital (with just under 5,000 admissions
and $130 million in operating revenue compared to Moody's 2010
national median admissions of 22,320 and operating revenue of $502
million) leaving the hospital susceptible to variability in
financial performance and physician departures

*Continued debt structure risk with 23% of outstanding bonds that
are variable rate backed by a letter of credit (expires December
2012) and 77% are fixed rate bonds; Series 2006A bonds require
yearly negotiations commencing after September 30, 2012 with
Radian, the sole bondholder, although the Series 2006A bonds are
not puttable; SCH will begin negotiations with Radian once the FY
2011 audit is finalized for the upcoming year however if no
agreement is reached the interest rate could escalate up to 12%

*Investment portfolio with 50% allocated to equities and
alternative strategies which Moody's views as risky compared to
Moody's hospital national average of 34%; management and the
investment committee are in the process of reducing this risk by
changing the allocation

Outlook

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that the changes
management put in place have reversed the historically operating
losses and financial performance at a higher level is attainable.
Maintenance of performance at this level will improve debt
coverage ratios and balance sheet metrics, however Moody's
believes a rating upgrade is beyond the 18 to 24 month outlook
horizon at this point in time.

WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO UP

Sustained improvement in financial performance and continued
growth in cash flow improving debt ratios; continued growth in
inpatient and surgical volumes; continued gains in liquidity

WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO DOWN

Downturn in financial performance; decline in liquidity; increase
in debt load without commensurate increase in cash flow

SUNOCO INC: Moody's Cuts Sr. Unsecured Notes Rating to 'Ba2'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the rating on Sunoco Inc.'s
(Sunoco) senior unsecured notes to Ba2 from Ba1 and affirmed
Sunoco's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and SGL-1 Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating (SGL). The rating outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The downgrade of the senior unsecured notes reflects structural
subordination resulting from Sunoco's entry into a new $800
million senior secured credit facility, which has a priority claim
over the company's liquid assets. The one-year borrowing base
facility replaces a $1.2 billion unsecured bank revolving credit
and is secured by Sunoco's assets, including eligible crude oil
and refined product inventories, certain other receivables (other
than refined product receivables under its separate securitization
facility), eligible cash and equivalents, and the pledge of
certain common LP units held in Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P
(SXL). The new covenants include a 110% collateral coverage ratio
and minimum $400 million liquidity requirement, both of which
currently have ample headroom. The facility can be used for
general corporate purposes, including working capital needs and
collateral postings.

Sunoco's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) reflects the company's
reduced scale, operational diversification and cash flow profile
following its operational restructuring, as well as the benefit of
its strong liquidity position. It also takes into account
uncertainties over the outcome of its strategic review and planned
exit from the refining business in 2012.

Sunoco continues to be supported by its GP and common unit
investment in Sunoco Logistics (SXL), which is a growing and
increasingly diversified mid-stream operation; a products
marketing operation with a valuable retail brand; and a large cash
position that enhances its liquidity and leaves Sunoco debt-free
on a cash-adjusted basis. Moody's expects some of the cash to be
re-deployed in the retail and mid-stream operations, along with
possible additional parent debt reduction.

The SGL-1 rating reflects Sunoco's excellent liquidity profile. As
of September 30, 2011 Sunoco had close to $1.7 billion in cash and
cash equivalents at the parent level. Sunoco's liquidity position
is bolstered by a $250 million 364-day A/R securitization in
conjunction with the new $800 million secured credit facility,
which is expected to remain undrawn through the end of 2012. Solid
inventory valuations and realizations, supplemented by any
eventual proceeds from the sale of the refining assets, will add
to Sunoco's cash position.

Sunoco's Ba1 CFR could be pressured by future aggressive share
repurchase plans or by deteriorating industry conditions that lead
to negative cash flow after dividends and capital spending. More
generally, as Sunoco exits refining and remains in transition, a
rising debt position or fundamentally weaker asset and competitive
profile could lead to a downgrade.

The principal methodology used in rating Sunoco Inc was the Global
Refining and Marketing Industry Methodology published in December
2009. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.


SUPERMEDIA INC: Fails to Obtain Sufficient Prepayment Offers
------------------------------------------------------------
As previously announced, on Nov. 17, 2011, SuperMedia Inc.
commenced an offer to make non-pro rata prepayments of term loans
at a rate of 43% to 46% of par, under the terms and conditions of
the Company's senior secured credit facility. The offer expired at
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011.  The

                        About Idearc Inc.

Headquartered in D/FW Airport, Texas, Idearc, Inc., now known as
SuperMedia Inc., is the second largest U.S. yellow pages
publisher.  Idearc was spun off from Verizon Communications, Inc.

Idearc and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection on
March 31, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 09-31828).  The
Debtors' financial condition as of Dec. 31, 2008, showed total
assets of $1,815,000,000 and total debts of $9,515,000,000.
Toby L. Gerber, Esq., at Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP, represented
the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors tapped
Moelis & Company as their investment banker; Kurtzman Carson
Consultants LLC as their claims agent.

William T. Neary, the United States Trustee for Region 6,
appointed six creditors to serve on the official committee of
unsecured creditors.  The Committee selected Mark Milbank, Tweed,
Hadley & McCloy LLP, as counsel, and Haynes and Boone, LLP, co-
counsel.

Idearc completed its debt restructuring and its plan of
reorganization became effective as of Dec. 31, 2009.  In
connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, Idearc changed its
name to SuperMedia Inc.  Under its reorganization, Idearc reduced
its total debt from more than $9 billion to $2.75 billion of
secured bank debt.

Less than two years since leaving bankruptcy protection,
SuperMedia remains in quandary.  Early in October 2011, Moody's
Investors Service slashed its corporate family rating for
SuperMedia to Caa1 from B3 prior.  The downgrade reflects Moody's
belief that revenues will continue to decline at a double digit
rate for the foreseeable future, leading to a steady decline in
free cash flow.  SuperMedia's sales were down 17% for the second
quarter of 2011 in a generally improving advertising sector.
Moody's ratings outlook for SuperMedia remains negative.

While SuperMedia is attempting to transition the business away
from its reliance on print advertising through development of
online and mobile directory service applications, Moody's is
increasingly concerned that the company will not be able to make
this change quickly enough to stabilize the revenue base over the
intermediate term. Further, the high fixed cost nature of
SuperMedia's business could lead to steep margin compression,
notwithstanding continued aggressive cost management.

TRIBUNE CO: Seeks Approval of 57-11 49th Place Settlement
---------------------------------------------------------
Debtor InsertCo, Inc., seeks permission from Bankruptcy Judge
Kevin Carey to enter into a settlement and release agreement with
57-11 49th Place, LLC.

The Landlord and the Debtor with Shuttle Printing, Inc., were
parties to a lease for premises commonly known as 57-II 49th
Place, in New York.  The Lease was deemed rejected as of
August 31, 2009.  The Landlord timely filed its Lease Claim for
rejection damages in connection with rejection of the Lease as a
general unsecured claim for $1,065,897.  Shuttle, as a co-tenant
on the Lease, timely filed a contingent claim based on
indemnification arising in connection with rejection of the
Lease, on which Shuttle was also liable.

The Debtors have negotiated with the Landlord in an effort to
resolve with finality any and all claims that currently exist or
may in the future exist against InsertCo relating to the Lease
Claim and Lease and to reconcile the Parties' different
calculations of the damages arising from the rejection of the
Lease.  Shuttle has not substantively responded to the Debtors'
efforts to resolve the Lease Claim and the Indemnification Claim.

The Debtors insist that the compromise embodied in the Settlement
Agreement resolves one of the more substantial remaining lease
rejection-related claims pending against their estates.

The salient terms of the Settlement Agreement are:

  (a) The Landlord will be entitled under the Settlement
      Agreement to retain the Security Deposit it currently
      holds in the amount of $422,524 and to offset the amount
      against the Lease Claim.

  (b) The Lease Claim, originally asserted in the amount of
      $1,065,897 will be reduced and allowed as a general
      unsecured claim against InsertCo in the modified amount of
      $521,254 after taking into account the setoff of the
      Security Deposit, in full and final satisfaction of the
      Lease Claim.  The Allowed Claim will be satisfied in
      the same manner as all other general unsecured claims
      against the Debtor under the Chapter 11 plan that is
      confirmed for the Debtor.

  (c) The Allowed Claim, after taking into account the setoff of
      the Security Deposit, is the maximum amount permitted to
      be recovered by the Landlord pursuant to Section 502(b)(6)
      of the Bankruptcy Code in connection with any damages
      resulting from the rejection of the Lease. The Landlord
      agrees to waive and release any additional claims, if any,
      against the Debtors only arising out of or relating: to
      (i) the liabilities asserted in the Lease Claim and (ii)
      the Lease; provided that the Landlord is expressly
      reserving all rights, remedies, and claims it may have
      against Shuttle.  The Landlord further agrees not to file
      any additional proofs of claim against the Debtor for
      liabilities arising out of or relating to (a) the Lease
      Claim; or (b) the Lease.  In turn, the Debtor agrees to
      waive and release any set off and counterclaims that it
      may have against Landlord arising out of or relating to
      the subject matter of the Lease Claim except as set forth
      in the Settlement Agreement.

TRIBUNE CO: Objects to Shuttle Printing Claim
---------------------------------------------
Tribune Co. and its affiliates ask the bankruptcy court to
disallow and expunge Claim No. 6260 filed by Shuttle Printing,
Inc.

In light of the rejection of a lease for premises commonly known
as 57-11 49th Place, in New York, Shuttle, as a co-tenant on the
Lease, filed a contingent claim against Debtor InsertCo, Inc.,
for indemnification damages, if any, for which Shuttle and the
Debtor were jointly liable.

InsertCo recently entered into a settlement agreement with the
Landlord to resolve its claim from the rejection of the Lease for
$521,254.  The Settlement Agreement provides for InsertCo to
settle the Landlord Claim for the maximum amount allowed under
the Bankruptcy Code.

If the Settlement Motion is granted, pursuant to Section
502(e)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, as a co-liable party on the
Landlord's claim, Shuttle's claim for reimbursement must be
disallowed, according to Norman L. Pernick, Esq., at Cole,
Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware.

-----------------------------------------
Tribune Co. and its affiliates sought and obtained the bankruptcy
court's permission to modify the scope of the employment of Ernst
& Young LLP, nunc pro tunc to June 13, 2011.

Specifically, Tribune Company has asked E&Y to valuate certain of

805, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Pursuant to the Valuation Services, E&Y will:

(A) Conduct interviews with management concerning:

   * the nature and operations of the business of The Cooking
     Channel, including its historical financial performance;

   * existing business plans, future performance estimates, or
     budgets for The Cooking Channel; and

   * the assumptions underlying the business plans, estimates,

     planned performance;

   environments in which The Cooking Channel operates;

schedule indicating its connections with parties-in-interest in
the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, available for free at:

        http://bankrupt.com/misc/Tribune_E&YClients.pdf

Mr. Howley discloses that E&Y continues to follow up with various
E&Y personnel in order to confirm that the work that the firm may
be doing for, or may have done for certain parties-in-interest is
unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter cases.  A list of those

W.R. GRACE: Proposes Baker & McKenzie as Special Counsel
--------------------------------------------------------
W.R. Grace & Co. and its affiliates seek the bankruptcy court's
authority to modify their retention and employment of Baker &
McKenzie, including its member firms, as special counsel for the
Debtors, nunc pro tunc to November 1, 2011.

Baker previously was employed by the Debtors as an ordinary course
professional in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases; however, the
Debtors now require additional services from Baker, the cost of
which will exceed the limits established for OCPs, Laura Davis
Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, tells Judge Fitzgerald.

The Debtors anticipate that Baker will continue to represent them
in connection with the matters on which it has been retained under
the OCP Order, in addition to representing the Debtors in
connection with possible transactions involving the disposition of
certain of the Debtors' assets and businesses.  The Debtors have
sought to retain Baker to represent and advise them in connection
with these representative matters:

   -- certain proposed sales and purchases of assets in the U.S.
      and non-U.S. jurisdictions, including drafting documents,
      effectuating due diligence, participating in negotiations
      and providing other services in support of possible
      transactions;

   -- antitrust and competition law compliance, strategy and
      filings in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions;

   -- advice regarding certain aspects of the Debtors' non-US
      subsidiaries, including advice relating to corporate
      formalities and commercial arrangements; and

   -- certain tax matters in the U.S. and in non-U.S.
      jurisdictions.

Baker will be paid on an hourly basis in accordance with its
ordinary and customary hourly rates.  Effective June 30, 2011,
Baker's hourly rates are:

         Billing Category                 Range
         ----------------             -------------
         U.S. Partners                $500 - $1,000
         U.S. Of Counsel              $400 - $850
         U.S. Associates              $295 - $600
         U.S. Trainees/Paralegals     $100 - $275

Baker's current hourly rates for associates and partners outside
of the United States, depending on the jurisdiction, vary from
$200 to $1,200.  Ms. Jones notes that the U.S. dollar values
assigned to billing rates for attorneys outside of the
U.S. may fluctuate based upon applicable exchange rates.

With respect to the matters relating to disposition of certain of
the Debtors' assets and businesses, Baker has agreed to provide
the Debtors a 15% discount on its standard hourly rates, Ms. Jones
disclosed.  Baker will also be reimbursed for any actual and
necessary expenses incurred in connection with its employment.

Marc R. Paul, Esq., a partner at Baker, assures the Court that his
firm does not represent or hold any interest adverse to the
Debtors or their bankruptcy estates.  He disclosed, however, that
Baker attorneys currently represent, on matters unrelated to the
Debtors, a party that may be adverse to the Debtors with respect
to certain matters.  Specifically, Baker represents affiliates of
Akzo Nobel regarding corporate transactional, merger and
acquisition, regulatory and commercial matters in various non-U.S.
countries, none of which have any connection to the Debtors.

A hearing will be held on December 19, 2011, to consider the
application.  Objections are due on December 2.

YAVAPAI COUNTY: Court Orders Sale of Horse Racing Venue
-------------------------------------------------------
J. Craig Anderson at The Arizona Republic reports that a U.S.
Bankruptcy Court judge has ordered the sale of Yavapai Downs, one
of Arizona's two permanent horse-racing venues, as part of a
proposed Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation plan.

Track owner Yavapai County Farm & Agriculture Association Inc.
filed for voluntary Chapter 7 liquidation in Bankruptcy Court on
July 13, the report discloses.

According to the report, George Cunningham, owner and designated
broker of Phoenix-based auctioneering firm Cunningham &
Associates, said his company has been assigned the task of seeking
bidders for the racetrack property, along with its adjacent auto-
racing venue Prescott Valley Raceway and the surrounding Yavapai
County Fairgrounds.

The report relates that Mr. Cunningham said the fairgrounds
property consists of eight separate parcels totaling 125 acres,
with a total assessed full cash value of $18.2 million.  In
addition to the land, millions of dollars worth of equipment and
other assets also will be sold, he added.

Mr. Cunningham, as cited by The Arizona Republic, said the
proceeds to go toward repaying the association's creditors as much
as possible.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 19, 2011,
Thoroughbred Times said the Yavapai County Farm and Agriculture
Association, which operates Yavapai Downs horse raising track, has
filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
The filing, which comes less than two months after the Arizona
racetrack was forced to cancel its live meeting due to the non-
profit Yavapai County's ongoing financial issues, was made before
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona, according
to Thoroughbred Times.  Yavapai County Farm and Agriculture
Association cited a combination of "overwhelming financial
pressures," as a reason for its filing, "including $14.5-million
in loans and interest due to the U.S. Department of Agriculture;
hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt owed to Yavapai Downs'
racing-industry partners, and the county's recent re-assessment
that increased the fairgrounds' property taxes approximately ten-
fold."

The non-profit association listed its total assets in bankruptcy
court as $24 million and total liabilities as $15.4 million,
according to The Arizona Republic.


YRC WORLDWIDE: Royal Bank Discloses 6.1% Equity Stake
-----------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc and The Royal
Bank of Scotland Group Plc disclosed that, as of Oct. 31, 2011,
they beneficially own 129,419,814.63 shares of common stock of YRC
Worldwide Inc. representing 6.07% of the shares outstanding.  As
previously reported by the TCR on Oct. 24, 2011, The Royal Bank
disclosed beneficial ownership of 421,238,033.58 shares of common
stock or 19.30% equity stake.  A full-text copy of the amended

                        About YRC Worldwide

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

KPMG LLP's audit reports on the consolidated financial statements
of YRC Worldwide Inc. and subsidiaries for 2009 and 2010 each
contain an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has
experienced significant declines in operations, cash flows and
liquidity and these conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company also reported a net loss of $264.93 million on
$3.65 billion of operating revenue for the nine months ended Sept.
30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $346.89 million on $3.24
billion of operating revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $2.68
billion in total assets, $2.94 billion in total liabilities and a
$262.67 million total shareholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

In January 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its
'CCC-' corporate credit rating on YRC Worldwide Inc. (YRCW) on
CreditWatch developing.  At the same time, S&P is withdrawing the
existing issue level ratings on Yellow Corp.'s senior unsecured
debt, given the negligible amounts outstanding.

"The ratings on Overland Park, Kan.-based YRCW reflect its near-
term liquidity challenges, meaningful off-balance-sheet contingent
obligations related to multiemployer pension plans, as well as its
participation in the competitive, capital-intensive, and cyclical
trucking industry," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Anita
Ogbara.  "YRCW's substantial (albeit deteriorating) market
position in the less-than-truckload (LTL) sector, which has high
barriers to entry, partially offsets these characteristics.  We
characterize YRCW's business profile as weak, financial profile as
highly leveraged, and liquidity as weak."

In the Aug. 2, 2011, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
revised YRC Worldwide Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating ("PDR")
to Caa2\LD ("Limited Default") from Caa3 in recognition of the
agreed debt restructuring which will result in losses for certain
existing debt holders.  In a related action Moody's has raised
YRCW's Corporate Family Rating to Caa3 from Ca to reflect modest
but critical improvements in the company's credit profile that
should result from its recently-completed financial restructuring.
The positioning of YRCW's PDR at Caa2\LD reflects the completion
of an offer to exchange a substantial majority of the company's
outstanding credit facility debt for new senior secured credit
facilities, convertible unsecured notes, and preferred equity,
which was completed on July 22, 2011.

As reported by the TCR on May 5, 2011, Fitch Ratings downgraded
YRC's Issuer default rating to 'C' from 'CC'; Secured bank credit
facility rating downgraded to 'CCC/RR2' from 'B-/RR2'; and Senior
unsecured rating affirmed at 'C/RR6'.  In addition, Fitch has
removed YRCW's ratings from Rating Watch Negative.  Fitch said
that although it appears increasingly likely that the company will
successfully complete the restructuring, until the transactions
constituting the restructuring close, which is not anticipated
until late July 2011, there exists a potential for the transaction
to fail, in which case Fitch expects the company would be forced
to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.


YRC WORLDWIDE: To Issue 600MM Shares Under 2011 Incentive Plan

at the most recent annual stockholders' meeting of YRC Worldwide

be deemed to register and cover any additional shares of Common
Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the Plan's
anti-dilution provisions as the result of any stock split, stock
dividend or similar transaction, and such lesser amount of shares
of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan as a result of
any reverse stock split, stock combination or similar transaction.

* MERS Foreclosures Held Valid under Massachusetts Law
------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Mortgage Electronic Registration System, known as
MERS, complies with Massachusetts law and allows mortgages to be
foreclosed assuming several simple conditions are met, U.S.
District Judge William G. Young in Boston ruled on Nov. 28 by
handing down a 59-page opinion.  Judge Young characterized MERS as
the "Wikipedia of land registration systems."

According to the report, near the end of the opinion, Judge Young
wrote a six-page, single-spaced footnote saying that the result
may have been different were the case in state court where the
judges have greater ability to modify state judge-made law in
response to novel factual issues.

Before foreclosure was initiated, the mortgage note was assigned
to a bank serving as trustee holding securitized mortgages. The
mortgage had been assigned by MERS to the servicer for the bank,
as trustee.

Judge Young interpreted Massachusetts law as requiring the party
foreclosing to be the holder of the mortgage and also to own the
mortgage note or be the servicer for the noteholder.  In the case
before him, the servicer was wearing both hats and thus was
entitled to foreclose, Young ruled.  Judge Young declined to
follow several Massachusetts cases holding that the holder of the
mortgage and note need not be the same.  Judge Young described in
detail how individuals not associated with MERS can be deputized
as officers of MERS authorized to assign mortgages and mortgage
notes.  Judge Young said he was "deeply troubled that, with little
or no oversight, individuals without any tie to or knowledge of
the company on whose behalf they are acting may assign mortgages -
that is, they may transfer legal title to someone else's home."
Judge Young's decision may not hold in states with different real
estate laws.

In a case earlier this year called Veal v. American Home
Mortgage Servicing Inc., the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the
9th Circuit denied foreclosure when the holder of the mortgage
couldn't prove it was also the owner of the mortgage note. To
read about the Veal case, click here for the June 14 Bloomberg
bankruptcy report.

The Massachusetts case is Culhane v. Aurora Loan Services
of Nebraska, 11-11098, U.S. District Court, District of
Massachusetts (Boston).

Review by Henry Berry

Even though Bloch states that "no last word may ever be written
about the investment banking industry," he nonetheless has written
a timely, definitive book on the subject.

Bloch wrote Inside Investment Banking book after discovering that
no textbook on the subject was available when he began teaching a
course on investment banking.  Bloch's book is like a textbook,
though one not meant to be restricted to classroom use.  It's a
complete, knowledgeable study of the structure and operations of
the field of investment banking.  With a long career in the field,
including work at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Bloch has
the background for writing the book.  He sought the input of many
of his friends and contacts in investment banking for material as
well as for critical guidance to put together a text that would
stand the test of time.

While giving a nod to today's heightened interest in the
innovative securities that receive the most attention in the
popular media, Inside Investment Banking concentrates for the most
part on the unchanging elements of the field.  The book  takes a
subject that can appear mystifying to the average person and makes
it understandable by concentrating on its central processes,
institutional forms, and permanent aims.  The author shows how all
aspects of the complex and ever-changing field of investment
banking, including its most misunderstood topic of innovative
securities, leads to a "financial ecology" which benefits business
organizations, individual investors in general, and the economy as
a whole.  "[T]he marketplace for innovative securities becomes,
because of its imitators, a systematic mechanism for spreading
risk and improving efficiency for market makers and investors,"
says Bloch. .

For example, Bloch takes the reader through investment banking's
"market making" which continually adapts to changing economic
circumstances to attract the interest of investors.  In doing so,
he covers the technical subject of arbitrage, the role of the
venture capitalist, and the purpose of initial public offerings,
among other matters.  In addition to describing and explaining the
abiding basics of the field, Bloch also takes up issues regarding
policy (for example, full disclosure and government regulation)
that have arisen from the changes in the field and its enhanced
visibility with the public.  In dealing with these issues, which
are to a large degree social issues, and similar topics which
inherently have no final resolution, Bloch deals indirectly with
criticisms the field has come under in recent years.

Bloch cites the familiar refrain "the more things change, the more
they remain the same" and then shows how this applies to
investment banking.  With deregulation in the banking industry,
globalization, mergers among leading investment firms, and the
growing number of individuals researching and trading stocks on
their own, there is the appearance of sweeping change in
investment banking.  However, as Inside Investment Banking shows,
underlying these surface changes is the efficiency of the market.
Anyone looking for an authoritative work covering in depth the
fundamentals of the field while reflecting both the interest and
concerns about this central field in the contemporary economy
should look to Bloch's Inside Investment Banking.

After time as an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, Ernest Bloch was a Professor of Finance at the Stern School
of Business at New York University.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers"
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR.  Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
