ABITIBIBOWATER: U.S. Reorganization Plan Confirmed
--------------------------------------------------
AbitibiBowater disclosed that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware has issued an opinion confirming
AbitibiBowater's plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, clearing the way for the Company's emergence
from creditor protection.  The Court also issued an order today
overruling objections to the U.S. plan.  AbitibiBowater expects to
emerge and its plans to become effective in December.

"Today is an exciting day in the transformation of
AbitibiBowater," stated David J. Paterson, President and Chief
Executive Officer.  "The restructuring was a challenging process
and I am truly proud of all that we have achieved since our filing
in April 2009.  Once we meet the remaining closing conditions, we
will emerge with a business foundation that fundamentally
repositions AbitibiBowater."

"We would not be here today without the dedication, loyalty and
perseverance of our employees, the vision and guidance of our
leadership team, the steadfast loyalty of our customers and
suppliers, as well as the support of governments and the
communities in which we operate.  To you, and all of our
stakeholders, thank you," added Paterson.  "We look forward to
working with everyone to continue to shape AbitibiBowater as a
leaner, financially flexible and more competitive organization."

This stage in the creditor protection proceedings follows a number
of recent major milestones, including: obtaining the requisite
votes of unsecured creditors approving the Company's
reorganization plans under the Canadian Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act (CCAA) and the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; a sanctioning
of the plan under CCAA from the Quebec Superior Court; and
agreements with the Quebec and Ontario pension regulators.

ACCREDITED MEMBERS: Posts $244,500 Net Loss in Q3 2010
------------------------------------------------------

on Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss of $244,463 on $706,180 of

period last year.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$2.37 million in total assets, $1.17 million in total liabilities,
and stockholders' equity of $1.19 million.

The Company reported net losses in 2009 and for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, and has an

ACCURIDE CORP: New Generation's Bid for Add'l Notes Denied
----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brendan Linehan Shannon denies New Generation Advisors,
LLC's request to enforce the third amended joint plan of
reorganization for Accuride Corporation for the purpose of
ordering the Debtor to make an additional distribution to New
Generation.  The Debtor opposes the Motion.

On February 18, 2010, the Court confirmed the Debtor's third
amended joint plan of reorganization Plan, which became effective
on February 26.  The Plan provided, inter alia, for a rights
offering that entitled 113 holders of subordinated notes issued by
the prepetition Debtor to subscribe to rights offering notes up to
their allowed claim amount.  The Plan obligated the Debtor to mail
subscription forms to the Rights Offering Participants, and
required the Rights Offering Participants to exercise their
subscription rights by returning the completed subscription forms
to the Debtor.

Shortly after the Petition Date, New Generation purchased
subordinated notes in the face amount of $5 million.  In January
2010, New Generation purchased an additional set of subordinated
notes in the face amount of $2.5 million held by several funds
affiliated with Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management.

To effectuate its subscription to the New Notes associated with
the Second Lot, New Generation submitted to the Debtor the 14
assignment agreements pursuant to which it acquired its rights in
the Second Lot from Nomura.  New Generation also submitted a
signature page that listed the five New Generation entities to
which the Second Lot and the associated New Notes were allocated.
However, New Generation did not provide the Debtor with the actual
allocation among these five entities of the Second Lot or the New
Notes associated with the Second Lot.

To determine the allocation of the New Notes associated with the
Second Lot, the Debtor initiated correspondence that ensued
between it and New Generation.  In response, New Generation
provided the Debtor with an allocation of the face amount of the
Second Lot among its five entities, rather than providing the
Debtor with an allocation of New Notes based upon New Generation's
allowed claim amount associated with the Second Lot.  Shortly
thereafter, the Debtor sent New Generation confirmation notices
using the Face Amount, not the Claim Amount.  At no time prior to
the Effective Date did New Generation notify the Debtor of the
error in using the Face Amount instead of the Claim Amount.

In accordance with the Plan and the Court's order confirming the
Plan, the Debtor implemented the Plan and consummated the
transactions contemplated by the rights offering on or shortly
after the Effective Date.  On May 11, 2010, New Generation sent
the Debtor a demand letter identifying the Distribution Error and
seeking additional New Notes or equivalent compensation.  The
Debtor did not meet the demands of New Generation, spurring the
Motion and the related pleadings.

Judge Shannon says the relevant Plan provisions placed the burden
on New Generation to actually and validly subscribe to the New
Notes in the amount it desired, up to the Claim Amount.
Therefore, the burden remained with New Generation to adequately
cure its subscription defect and ensure that the Debtor had and
used the correct information to distribute the precise amount in
New Notes to which New Generation intended to subscribe.

A copy of Judge Shannon's opinion, dated November 17, 2010, is
available at http://is.gd/hA4lzfrom Leagle.com.

February 2010.  Accuride emerged from bankruptcy on February 26,
2010.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on August 3, 2010,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating and stable outlook to Accuride Corp.  Upon emergence
from Chapter 11, the Company reduced debt by about one-third.  S&P
said the refinancing does not significantly affect total debt but
improves liquidity by extending debt maturities and adding
borrowing availability, as the Company currently has no revolving
credit facility.

The TCR on July 22 reported that Moody's Investors Service
assigned Corporate Family and Probability of Default ratings of B2
to Accuride.  The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Accuride's
deleveraged capital structure and the impact of restructuring
actions achieved during and prior to the company's tenor in
bankruptcy protection.


AK STEEL: Moody's Gives Negative Outlook; Affirms 'Ba2' Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the rating outlook for AK Steel
Corporation to negative from stable.  At the same time, Moody's
affirmed the existing ratings of AK Steel, including the company's
Ba2 corporate family rating, its Ba2 probability of default
rating, and the Ba3 rating on its $400 million of senior unsecured
notes.

The negative outlook reflects AK Steel's weak operating
performance in the third quarter, which will continue in the
fourth quarter of 2010 as manifested in negative EBITDA/ton and
negative earnings performance.  Also factored into the outlook are
the cost pressures facing the company in light of the increase in
the price it pays for iron ore.  Moody's expect AK Steel's metrics
to remain outside its rating category for the balance of 2010 but
to improve to more appropriate levels over 2011.  This is based
upon Moody's expectation for volume improvements, albeit
relatively modest, as 2011 progresses and somewhat better average
price realizations.

Nonetheless, the rating remains very weakly positioned at the Ba2
corporate family rating level.  To the extent strengthening in key
markets for AK Steel, such as automotive, does not occur, or iron
ore price increases outpace average steel prices, the rating would
likely be downgraded.

In addition, the outlook considers the company's liquidity
position, which while still acceptable, has contracted over the
last several quarters as cash balances have declined to
approximately $80 million at September 30, 2010 from $462 million
at December 31, 2009.  AK Steel's liquidity position is also
supported by its $850 million revolving credit facility, which had
availability of roughly $701 million at September 30, 2010, after
adjusting for letter of credit usage.

AK Steel's Ba2 corporate family rating considers its business mix,
its strong contract position, and its excellent reputation for
service and technological leadership.  In addition, the company's
product mix benefits from a meaningful level of value-added
products, including coated, electrical and stainless products.

Going forward, the rating could be lowered if AK Steel experiences
a slower-than-expected recovery in volumes and price levels,
continues to generate negative EBITDA/ton, debt/EBITDA does not
show improvement toward at least a 4x level or CFO minus dividends
to debt stays below 15% for a sustainable period of time.

At this time, an upgrade is unlikely given Moody's expectation for
a very gradual recovery for both AK Steel and the industry as a
whole.

Headquartered in West Chester, Ohio, AK Steel is a middle tier
integrated steel producer.  Revenues during the 12 months ended
September 20, 2010, were $5.9 billion on steel shipments of
5.7 million tons.


ALLIED SPECIALTY: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary 'B+'
corporate credit rating to recently formed Allied Specialty
Vehicles Inc.  S&P is also assigning a preliminary issue-level
rating of 'B+' to the company's proposed $165 million secured term
loan due in 2016.  The recovery rating is '3', indicating S&P's
expectation of a meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.  The outlook is stable.

"The speculative-grade ratings on ASV reflect S&P's view of the
company's business risk profile as weak and financial risk profile
as aggressive," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst John Sico.
"The preliminary rating considers the risk inherent in a roll-up
of several individual companies that form ASV and its limited
history of demonstrating that it can operate as an integrated
company.  Some economies and cost savings appear to be reasonable,
although they have yet to be fully achieved.

ASV encompasses a number of manufacturers who make several types
of vehicles, including emergency vehicles (such as ambulances and
fire trucks), school buses, and motorized recreational vehicles.
Each of these manufacturers has a well-known industrial brand name
and operates in various end markets.  ASV operates in highly
competitive and some cyclical end markets, primarily in the
specialty-vehicle industry.  The company lacks geographic
diversity -- all of its manufacturing capacity resides in North
America.  Demand in its motorized RV business is highly dependent
upon consumers' discretionary income, volatile gasoline prices,
and consumer credit availability.  The municipal end markets
provide a bit more stability; while they may be subject to
challenging fiscal conditions, there is the need for replacement
of essential vehicles as they age.

Leverage is not overly aggressive; at the close of the
transaction, pro forma debt to EBITDA was about 3.4x, and S&P
expects it to range between 4x-5x.  S&P expects funds from
operations to total adjusted debt to be about 15%-20%--in line
with S&P's expectations for credits comparable to ASV.

"S&P expects the ratings to remain stable over the next couple of
years," Mr. Sico continued.  "S&P could raise the ratings if the
company achieves, and even exceeds, its operational targets, for
example, if debt to EBITDA stays at or below 4x leverage.  On the
other hand, S&P could lower the ratings if market demand for ASV's
vehicles declines due to economic conditions, a lack of credit
availability for big-ticket equipment purchases persists, or
continuing challenges in municipal markets result in leverage
greater than 5x."


AMERICAN REALTY: S&P Assigns 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to American Realty Capital Trust Inc.  The outlook
is stable.

"S&P's rating on ARCT reflects the REIT's currently aggressive
financial risk profile, as characterized by the company's heavy
reliance upon equity issuance to sustain expected rapid growth,
significant portfolio encumbrance, and comparably slim debt and
dividend coverage measures," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Eugene Nusinzon.  "S&P considers the company's business risk
profile to be weak, due to its presently small operating
portfolio, rapid growth trajectory, and limited asset seasoning
under current management, as well as moderate tenant and asset
concentrations."

The REIT's moderate leverage profile, very limited exposure to
debt maturities over the next two years, and relatively stable
portfolio-level operating cash flow partially offset these credit
concerns.  The good credit quality of ARCT's tenant base, its long
weighted average remaining lease term, and its triple-net leases
that are generally subject to contractual rent increases support
the company's cash flow.

Jenkintown, Pa.-based ARCT is an externally advised and managed,
unlisted public equity REIT that operates a diversified portfolio
of primarily freestanding, single-tenant commercial properties.
The company qualified as a REIT in 2008 and subsequently initiated
a $1.5 billion public offering, which was recently extended via a
$325 million follow-on offering, now set to expire in July 2011.

S&P's stable outlook reflects its expectation that there should be
minimal downside pressure on ARCT's portfolio-level cash flows and
debt coverage measures due to good tenant credit quality and
minimal exposure to near-term debt and lease maturities.  In
addition, given prospects for additional portfolio growth which
S&P assumes will be financed in a leverage neutral manner, S&P
currently sees limited downside to the ratings.  Weak current debt
and dividend coverage measures preclude upward ratings momentum at
this time.  However, S&P could raise its ratings if coverage
measures strengthen and S&P believes they are sustainable at
stronger levels, if ARCT's future growth bolsters the size and
diversity of its portfolio, and if the company achieves an
adequate liquidity profile.

AMERICAN GENERAL: Fitch Amends Preferred Securities Rating to BB-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has made a correction for a release issued earlier.
It amends the upgraded preferred securities rating for American
General Capital II to 'BB-'.

Fitch Ratings has taken this rating on American International
Group, Inc.:

  -- assigned an expected rating of 'BBB' to the senior unsecured
     debt securities included in the company's most recent shelf
     registration;

  -- upgraded the ratings on the company's various issues of
     hybrid securities to 'BB-' from 'B';

  -- affirmed and concurrently withdrawn both AIG's short-term
     Issuer Default Rating and commercial paper program
     ratings at 'F1', reflecting that AIG's commercial paper
     program is inactive.

In addition, Fitch has affirmed AIG's long-term IDR and existing
senior debt ratings at 'BBB'.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Fitch's expected rating on the shelf securities is the same as
that on AIG's existing senior debt, which continues to reflect
uplift related to majority ownership of AIG by the U.S.
government.  Fitch believes that AIG's ability to issue new senior
debt under its shelf registration would have only a slight impact
on AIG's overall financial leverage and interest coverage.
However, access to public capital at reasonable terms would be an
important indicator of renewed financial flexibility, and a
further step in the company's plan to exit U.S. government
involvement.

Fitch notes that it credit opinion on AIG's financial profile,
when viewed on a theoretical 'stand-alone' basis, excluding the
benefit of government involvement, has improved.  Under this
theoretical assumption, Fitch would rate AIG's stand-alone IDR
'BB+' and both new and existing senior unsecured securities 'BB'.
These levels are one notch higher, respectively, than their prior
levels last commented on by Fitch on Sept. 30, 2010.  The
improvement reflects AIG's success in executing upon its
restructuring plan, including the close of substantial asset
sales, and ongoing efforts at reducing the AIG organization's
leverage and potential liquidity needs.  Fitch believes the
underlying trend in AIG's theoretical 'stand-alone' profile is
positive.

The upgrade of the ratings on AIG's subordinated hybrid securities
reflects Fitch's reduced concerns about the potential for AIG to
elect contractually available interest deferral options attached
to these securities.  The agency believes that AIG's financial
profile has improved meaningfully since these securities were
downgraded to their previous ratings levels in May 2009.
Additionally, AIG is conducting a tender offer for securities
representing approximately 30% of the face value of these
securities outstanding, further reducing the risk of interest
deferral.

Fitch notes that as AIG moves toward exiting government
involvement, the greatest area of sensitivity that could impact
AIG's ratings is the confluence of the speed and magnitude by
which government involvement diminishes, relative to the speed and
magnitude by which AIG's 'stand-alone' profile improves.
Decreases in assumed government support will reduce the uplift
Fitch factors into its ratings relative to AIG's 'stand-alone'
ratings.  Offsetting this is Fitch's view that AIG's re-
structuring efforts will lead to upward migration in the company's
stand-alone ratings over the same time period.

Factors that continue to be reflected in AIG's theoretical 'BB+'
stand-alone IDR include:

  -- reduced, but still higher than typical, insurance-holding
     company financial leverage; Fitch calculates AIG's Sept. 30,
     2010 Total Financing & Commitments ratio including the
     effect of various transactions that occurred subsequent to
     the balance sheet date, at 2.1x which is materially higher
     than those of insurance company peers.  The agency calculates
     AIG's consolidated debt-to-capital ratios at Sept. 30, 2010
     at 51%, once again materially higher than those of insurance
     holding company peers;

  -- consolidated operating earnings-based interest coverage from
     continuing operations through the first nine months of 2010,
     excluding the non-cash FRBNY Facility related interest
     amortization component of interest expense, of approximately
     3.0x which is consistent with below investment grade coverage
     levels. Looking forward, Fitch anticipates operating earnings
     based interest coverage ratios from core operations in the 5-
     8x range.  Fitch views such coverage ratios as supportive of
     an investment-grade IDR. However in the near term, the agency
     remains concerned about the effect of potential re-
     structuring charges, similar to those that have hampered
     AIG's 2010 net earnings;

  -- strong competitive positions in non-life insurance, both
     domestically and internationally, that are expected to
     generate large absolute amounts of earnings but lagging
     underwriting margins;

  -- reasonably strong competitive positions in the domestic life
     insurance and retirement services market which are still
     recovering from reputational damage suffered during the
     financial crisis.

Key rating drivers that could produce revisions in Rating Outlooks
to Positive or lead to upgrades in AIG's stand-alone IDR or its
subsidiaries' IFS ratings include:

  -- further declines in outstanding notional values of AIGFP's
     CDS portfolio without significant liquidity or capital
     drains.  Such a decline would most directly affect Fitch's
     view of AIG's stand-alone IDR;

  -- further clarity around AIG's plans for its International
     Lease Finance Corp. subsidiary and how ILFC's funding
     needs over the long term can be met without adding contingent
     risks to AIG's profile;

  -- the transition of AIG's capital structure and leverage to
     that of a more traditional insurance holding company
     resulting in a narrowing of the notching between insurance
     company ratings and holding company ratings.  Under such a
     scenario as government support declines, per Fitch's notching
     criteria, the IDR of the holding company would migrate to one
     notch higher than the senior unsecured debt rating, as is
     currently the case with the stand-alone ratings;

  -- further stabilization of sales trends and profitability of
     the company's domestic life insurance subsidiaries;

  -- enhanced underwriting profitability and reserve stability of
     the company's non-life insurance subsidiaries.

Key rating drivers that could produce a revision in the Rating
Outlook to Negative or lead to downgrades in AIG's stand-alone IDR
or its subsidiaries' IFS rating include:

  -- evidence that AIGFP's CDS portfolio run-off is not proceeding
     as currently envisioned;

  -- a decline in Fitch's view of the implied rating support
     provided by the U.S. Treasury's interests in AIG that is not
     fully offset from a rating perspective by improvements in
     AIG's stand-alone financial profile. The agency believes that
     the most plausible situation under which this could occur
     would be a significant unwinding of the Treasury's ownership
     position prior to further run-off of AIGFP's CDS portfolio.

  -- AIG's inability to transition its capital structure and
     leverage to those of a more traditional insurance holding
     company could result in a widening of the notching between
     the insurance subsidiary ratings and the holding company
     ratings.  Under such a scenario as government support
     declines, per Fitch's notching criteria AIG's senior
     unsecured debt ratings would migrate to one notch lower than
     the holding company IDR rating as is currently the case with
     the stand-alone ratings;

  -- an inability to secure adequate sources of liquidity given
     the significant reductions in U.S. Government provided
     sources of liquidity that are anticipated over the next three
     months;

  -- material declines in risk-based capital ratios at either the
     domestic life insurance or the non-life insurance
     subsidiaries;

  -- deterioration in the company's domestic life subsidiaries'
     sales or profitability trends;

  -- declines in underwriting profitability and heightened reserve
     volatility of the company's non-life insurance subsidiaries
     that Fitch views as inconsistent with that of comparably-
     rated peers and industry trends.

Fitch notes that AIG's commercial paper program is inactive and
thus is no longer considered by the agency to be relevant to its
coverage.  Thus Fitch has affirmed and withdrawn its short-term
IDR on AIG and withdrawn its commercial paper ratings on AIG and
its subsidiaries.

Fitch has taken these rating actions:

American International Group, Inc.

  -- Senior unsecured debt securities included in the company's
     most recent shelf registration assigned expected 'BBB';

  -- Long-term IDR affirmed at 'BBB'; Outlook Stable;

AMERICAN INT'L: Fitch Ups Ratings on Hybrid Securities to BB-
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has taken this rating on American International
Group, Inc.:

  -- assigned an expected rating of 'BBB' to the senior unsecured
     debt securities included in the company's most recent shelf
     registration;

     provided by the U.S. Treasury's interests in AIG that is not
     fully offset from a rating perspective by improvements in
     AIG's stand-alone financial profile. The agency believes that
     the most plausible situation under which this could occur
     would be a significant unwinding of the Treasury's ownership
     position prior to further run-off of AIGFP's CDS portfolio.

  -- AIG's inability to transition its capital structure and
     leverage to those of a more traditional insurance holding
     company could result in a widening of the notching between
     the insurance subsidiary ratings and the holding company
     ratings.  Under such a scenario as government support
     declines, per Fitch's notching criteria AIG's senior
     unsecured debt ratings would migrate to one notch lower than
     the holding company IDR rating as is currently the case with
     the stand-alone ratings;

  -- an inability to secure adequate sources of liquidity given
     the significant reductions in U.S. Government provided
     sources of liquidity that are anticipated over the next three
     months;

  -- material declines in risk-based capital ratios at either the
     domestic life insurance or the non-life insurance
     subsidiaries;

  -- deterioration in the company's domestic life subsidiaries'
     sales or profitability trends;

  -- declines in underwriting profitability and heightened reserve
     volatility of the company's non-life insurance subsidiaries
     that Fitch views as inconsistent with that of comparably-
     rated peers and industry trends.

Fitch notes that AIG's commercial paper program is inactive and
thus is no longer considered by the agency to be relevant to its
coverage.  Thus Fitch has affirmed and withdrawn its short-term
IDR on AIG and withdrawn its commercial paper ratings on AIG and
its subsidiaries.

Fitch has taken these rating actions:

American International Group, Inc.

     most recent shelf registration assigned expected 'BBB';

AMERICAN MEDIA: Combined Hearing on Plan Set for Dec. 20
--------------------------------------------------------
Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York sets for December 20, 2010, the combined
hearing to consider, among other things, the adequacy of the
Disclosure Statement, the Solicitation and Election Procedures,
and the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization filed by
American Media, Inc., and its debtor affiliates.  Any objections
to the Disclosure Statement, the Solicitation and Election
Procedures or the Plan must be filed on or before December 13,
2010.

As of November 17, 2010, AMO's total principal amount of
outstanding debt was approximately $878.7 million, which consisted
of approximately (i) $490.6 million principal amount of debt
pursuant to a $60 million revolving credit facility and a 450
million term loan facility under a 2009 Credit Agreement, (ii)
$7.5 million principal amount of 2011 Notes, (iii) $24.8 million
principal amount of PIK Notes, and (iv) $355.8 million principal
amount of Subordinated Notes.

On October 30, 2010, American Media entered into a restructuring
support agreement with the members of the Committee and certain
Term Facility Lenders and Revolver Lenders.  Pursuant to the
Restructuring Support Agreement, the signatories thereto agreed to
support a restructuring of American Media's indebtedness on the
terms set forth therein.

American Media agreed to implement the Financial Restructuring by
soliciting of votes to accept or reject the Companies' plan of
reorganization through a "prepackaged" bankruptcy and the
commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases.

As of November 9, 2010, institutions holding in the aggregate at
least 70% of the Term Facility claims, approximately 77.6% of the
Subordinated Notes claims, and approximately 89% of the PIK Notes
claims agreed to support the Financial Restructuring by executing
the Restructuring Support Agreement.

The Companies had received 200 votes, with 198 votes in favor of
the Plan and 2 votes against.  Specifically, (i) all holders of
claims entitled to vote in Classes 2, 5 and 6, overwhelmingly
voted to approve the Plan and (ii) two of the four holders of
claims entitled to vote in class 7 (holding approximately 41% of
the claims in that class) voted to reject the Plan.

The Plan sets forth the Companies' post-effective date capital
structure and the distribution that each class of the Companies'
creditors is to receive under the Plan.  Specifically, upon
consummation of the Plan, among other things:

  (a) Holders of Term Facility claims will receive their pro
      rata share of these items, in an aggregate amount equal
      to the allowed amount of all Term Facility claims:

          (i) cash, in an amount to be determined by the
              Companies but in any event no less than 70% of the
              amount of all allowed Term Facility claims; and

         (ii) new second lien notes.

      However, the aggregate amount of New Second Lien Notes
      distributed to Term Facility Lenders will not be greater
      than the commitment under that certain backstop agreement
      to purchase the New Second Lien Notes.  The unpaid
      reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses,
      including legal fees and expenses, of the Administrative
      Agent through and including the effective date will be
      paid in full, in cash to the Administrative Agent.  In
      addition, and pursuant to the Plan, each holder of a Term
      Facility claim will have the right to require that the
      parties to the Backstop Agreement purchase from that
      holder, on the effective date, its pro rata share of the
      New Second Lien Notes which it receives pursuant to the
      Plan for the face amount of that holder's New Second Lien
      Notes, which face amount that holder will receive in cash.

  (b) Holders of Revolver Facility claims will receive payment
      in full, in cash.

  (c) Holders of allowed Subordinated Notes claims will receive
      98% of the common shares in the capital of reorganized AMI
      authorized for issuance in accordance with the terms of
      the Plan on the effective date, subject to dilution for
      the equity incentive plan (holders of allowed Subordinated
      Notes claims other than the Backstop Parties will also be
      diluted by the shares the Backstop Parties receive
      pursuant to the Backstop Agreement.

  (d) Holders of allowed PIK Notes claims will receive, at the
      Companies' option, but with the Committee's consent,
      (i) New Second Lien Notes, (ii) new PIK notes, (iii) new
      preferred stock, or (iv) a combination of the foregoing.

  (e) Holders of allowed 2011 Notes claims will receive
      approximately 2% of the New Common Stock, subject to
      dilution for the equity incentive plan (holders of allowed
      2011 Notes claims other than the Backstop Parties will
      also be diluted by the Backstop Shares).

  (f) Holders of allowed general unsecured claims will be
      unimpaired.

  (g) Equity interests in AMI, including warrants, will be
      cancelled.

American Media, Inc., and 15 units, including American Media

AMERICAN MEDIA: Asks for Jan. 3 Extension of Schedules
------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 1007 of
the Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Debtors are required
to file, within 15 days of the Petition Date: (i) schedules of
assets and liabilities; (ii) schedules of executory contracts and
unexpired leases; (iii) lists of equity holders; (iv) schedules of
current income and expenditures; and (v) statements of financial
affairs.

By this motion, the Debtors ask the Court to extend the time
within which they must file their schedules of assets and
liabilities and statements of financial affairs through
January 3, 2011.

The Debtors assert that good and sufficient cause exist for
granting extension due to the large amount of information that
must be assembled and compiled, the multiple locations of those
information, the hundreds of employee and professional hours that
may be required for the completion of the Schedules and
Statements, the unique nature of their Chapter 11 cases, and the
lack of prejudice to creditors.  In addition, the Debtors note,
employee efforts during the anticipated short period of the
pendency of their Chapter 11 cases are critical to their
reorganization efforts, and their creditors would be better served
if they devote their time and attention to business operations in
order to maximize the value of the estates going forward.

The Debtors further request that, upon the consent of the Office
of the U.S. Trustee for the Southern District of New York and by
order of the Court upon certification of counsel, the deadline for
the Debtors to file their Schedules and Statements may be further
extended without the need for any additional motion practice on
this subject in their Chapter 11 cases.

Under the circumstances of their prepackaged Chapter 11 cases, the
Debtors believe that the purposes of filing the Schedules and
Statements have generally been fulfilled by other means and that
the completion of the Schedules and Statements is extraneous and
not justified given the costs to their estates, in terms of both
the expenditure of financial and human resources.

To prepare the Schedules and Statements, the Debtors maintain that
they would have to compile information from books, records, and
documents relating to the claims of over approximately 3,528 as
well as their many assets and contracts.  According to the
Debtors, the information is voluminous and assembling the
necessary information would require a significant expenditure of
time and effort on the part of themselves and their employees in
the near term, when these resources would be best put towards
effectuating their reorganization.

In general, a debtor is required to file the Schedules and
Statements to permit parties-in-interest to understand and assess
the debtor's assets and liabilities and thereafter negotiate and
confirm a plan of reorganization.

In these "prepackaged" Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors have already
negotiated the Plan of Reorganization and solicited votes from
those parties entitled to vote thereon, who, upon solicitation,
have voted overwhelmingly to accept the Plan, says Ira S.
Dizengoff, Esq., at Akin Gump, Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in New
York, counsel for the Debtors.  Accordingly, Mr. Dizengoff says,
one of the primary justifications for requiring the filing of the
Schedules and Statements simply does not exist in the Debtors'
Chapter 11 cases.  The fact that the Plan provides for the payment
in full of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims also justifies
relief from the requirement to file Schedules and Statements, he
adds.

AMERICAN MEDIA: To Pay Prepetition Wages & Benefits
---------------------------------------------------
American Media, Inc. and its debtor affiliates sought and obtained
interim authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York for them to:

   (i) pay and honor certain prepetition wages, commissions,
       salaries, employee benefits, and other compensation,
       taxes, withholdings and reimbursable expenses;

  (ii) pay, honor and continue all obligations relating to
       medical and other benefit programs; and

(iii) pay and honor certain payments to non-employee members of
       their workforces.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors employed approximately 638
full-time and 1,246 part-time employees in hourly, salaried,
supervisory, management, and administrative positions to perform
the functions necessary to effectively and efficiently operate
their businesses.  Approximately 633 of the Employees are
salaried, and the remaining Employees are compensated on an hourly
basis.  All of the Debtors' Employees are employed in the United
States, except for six Employees who are employed in Canada by
Distribution Services, Inc.

The Employees perform a variety of critical functions, including
accounting, administrative support, accounts payable, billing
operations, compliance, human resources, information technology,
legal, marketing, advertising, payroll, advertising sales,
distribution, editorial, marketing, production, logistics, and
circulation.

The Debtors believe that, as of the Petition Date, the majority of
all prepetition amounts owed on account of the Employee
Obligations have been satisfied.  However, certain wage
obligations have accrued since the Debtors' last payroll payment.
Additionally, the Debtors note, certain amounts may remain
outstanding due to a number of factors, including:

  (a) discrepancies that exist between amounts paid prepetition
      and the amounts that should have been paid;

  (b) the possibility that some prepetition checks or other
      payments may not have cleared before the Petition Date;

  (c) the fact that certain accrued obligations may not yet have
      become due and payable as of the Petition Date; and

  (d) the possibility that certain prepetition amounts related
      to the Employees may have accrued but remain outstanding
      because they are pending approval or they have not yet
      been submitted.

The Debtors estimate that these amounts remain unpaid with respect
to the Employee Obligations as of the Petition Date:

   Payroll Obligations                     $529,275
   Employee Severance Obligations          $235,742
   Employee Incentive Programs                   $0
   Gross Pay Deductions, etc.                     -
   Reimbursable Expenses                    $70,172
   Employee Benefits                              -
   Temporary Employees                       $2,010
   Freelancers                                   $0
   Payments to Sources                           $0
   Commissions to Non-Employees             $32,293
   Third Party Consultants                  $53,121

The Court also authorized financial institutions to honor all
related checks and electronic payment request.

A hearing to consider final approval of the Motion will be held on
December 8, 2010.

AMSCAN HOLDINGS: S&P Affirms 'B' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its 'B'
corporate credit rating on Amscan Holdings Inc. and removed it
from CreditWatch, where it was originally placed with positive
implications on Sept. 28, 2010.  The outlook is positive.

At the same time, S&P assigned a 'B' secured rating to the
company's proposed $675 million senior secured term loan credit
facility.  S&P assigned a '3' recovery rating to the notes,
indicating S&P's expectation for meaningful (50%-70%) recovery for
noteholders in the event of a payment default.

The company has stated that it will use the proceeds from the
proposed term loan facility to pay a roughly $310 million special
dividend to its equity sponsors and repay borrowings under its
existing term loan facility ($342 million outstanding as of Sept.
30, 2010).

"The affirmation of Amscan's credit ratings reflect S&P's view
that, following payment of its debt-financed dividend payment to
its equity sponsors," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Linda
Phelps, "it will have a highly leveraged financial risk profile
and its financial policy has become more aggressive."  In
addition, S&P views the company's business risk profile to be
weak, reflecting its narrow business focus, participation in the
highly competitive and fragmented party goods industry, and some
exposure to the difficult retail environment and weak consumer
spending.  However, the company benefits from its strong presence
in the niche party goods industry and the industry's somewhat
recession-resistant characteristics.


A.P. PHARMA: Gets 2nd Letter From NASDAQ on Non-Compliance
----------------------------------------------------------
A.P. Pharma, Inc. received a second letter from the Listing
Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ)
indicating that it has not regained compliance with Listing Rule
5550(a)(2), which requires the closing bid price of the Company's
common stock to be $1.00 or more.

This letter is a follow-up to the letter received from NASDAQ on
May 18, 2010, which notified the company that it was out of
compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the bid price of
its common stock had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the
previous 30 consecutive business days.  At that time, NASDAQ
provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until November 15,
2010, to regain compliance with the rule.

The second letter from NASDAQ stated the Company's securities
would be subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Stock Market,
effective November 29, 2010, unless the Company requests a hearing
before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (Panel).  A.P. Pharma
intends to request a hearing before the Panel at which it will
present its plan for regaining compliance with all applicable
listing requirements.  The hearing request will result in the
Company's shares remaining listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market at
least until such time as the Panel renders its decision following
the hearing.

There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's
request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market.  In the
event that the Panel determines to delist the Company's securities
from NASDAQ, the Company's common stock may be eligible for
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is operated by FINRA or
the OTCQB, which is operated by OTC Markets, Inc.

ARYX THERAPEUTICS: Files 10-Q for Q3 2010; Posts $2.5MM Net Loss
----------------------------------------------------------------
ARYx Therapeutics, Inc., filed on November 15, 2010, its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.5 million for the third
quarter of  2010, compared with a net loss of $8.1 million for the
same period of 2009.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of $199.6 million.  "We have generated no revenue from product
sales to date and we have funded operations principally from the
sale of our convertible preferred and common stock and payments
received under our collaboration agreements.  We have not achieved
sustainable profitability and anticipate that we will continue to
incur significant net losses for the foreseeable future."

The Company's balance sheet as of September 3, 2010, showed
$6.0 million in total assets, $13.7 million in total liabilities,
and a stockholders' deficit of $7.7 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 9, 2010,
Ernst & Young LLP, in Palo Alto, Calif., expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
following the Company's 2009 results.  The independent auditors
noted of the Company's recurring losses from operations and
stockholders' deficit.

     2017 at Caa1 (LGD5, 89%).

                        Ratings Rationale

Proceeds from the proposed bank loans will be used to refinance
existing indebtedness, fund a distribution to shareholders, and
pay related fees and expenses.

Ascend's B2 corporate family rating reflects its high pro forma
leverage, modest interest coverage, relatively small scale,
aggressive financial policy given the magnitude of the proposed
dividend, its formation through a series of acquisitions (many of
them recent) and expectations for continued acquisitions as it
seeks to expand its product offerings.  Notwithstanding these
concerns, the rating is supported by the company's established
position within the niche National Council Licensure Examination
preparation and training market, health and vocational verticals,
expectations for continued positive free cash flow generation,
high operating margins, the subscription like-nature of its
revenues, the diversity of its customer base, and favorable
fundamentals for healthcare-related employment.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Ascend will
generate organic revenue growth that translates into higher
earnings levels such that credit metrics will improve from initial
pro forma levels.  The rating also reflects Moody's expectation
that the company will generate modest free cash flow that is
applied to debt reduction and that it will maintain an adequate
liquidity profile.

The ratings could be pressured if unfavorable enrollment trends, a
change in the competitive environment, or higher than expected
expenses cause Ascend's operating performance to decline, such
that debt to EBITDA is sustained above 6.5 times and/or EBITDA
less capex coverage of interest expense approaches 1.2 times.
Sustained negative cash flow and/or debt financed acquisition
activity could also pressure the ratings.

Ascend's ratings could experience positive ratings momentum if it
can organically grow its scale and earnings such that debt to
EBITDA is sustained below 4.5 times and EBITDA less capex coverage
of interest expense is sustained above 2.0 times while generating
free cash flow to debt in the high single digits.

The ratings are subject to the conclusion of the transactions, as
proposed, and Moody's review of final documentation.

ASSOCIATED BANC-CORP: Fitch Ups Issuer Default Ratings From BB+/B
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded the long- and short-term Issuer Default
Ratings for Associated Banc-Corp to 'BBB-/F3' from 'BB+/B'.  In
addition, the long- and short-term IDRs for Associated Bank, N.A.,
its principal banking subsidiary, were affirmed at 'BBB-/F3'.
Fitch has also upgraded the Individual Rating for both entities to
'C' given the company's modestly improving fundamentals.  The
Rating Outlook is Stable.

Fitch's upgrade of ASBC's holding company rating reflects the more
typical alignment of bank and holding company IDRs following
improvements to the financial profile of the holding company.
ASBC's IDR was notched from ABNA in December 2009 reflecting
concerns about capital and liquidity, which have been addressed.
The affirmation of the bank-level ratings as well as the upgrade
of the Individual rating for all of ASBC's entities reflects the
improving fundamentals of the business given the combined entity's
higher liquidity, stronger capital position, and improving asset
quality measures.  Over the course of the last year, ASBC has
brought in a new management team, aggressively written down
problem assets, raised almost $500 million in fresh equity,
committed to maintaining high levels of overall liquidity, and
engaged in over $430 million of bulk loan sales to help
restructure its balance sheet.  Fitch believes these actions
provide the company positive traction to return to more normalized
levels of earnings and profitability.

In addition, after several quarters of losses, ASBC returned to
profitability in the third quarter of 2010, due to some reserve
releases associated with its bulk loan sales.  Fitch believes the
company's ratings could be affected favorably, should the positive
asset quality and earnings trends continue for a sustained number
of consecutive quarters.  However, given that ASBC's non-
performing assets as a percentage of loans plus real estate owned
remain still elevated at 7.00% as of Sept. 30, 2010, there is risk
of additional losses should economic conditions deteriorate in
ASBC's core Midwestern footprint.  This risk is particularly
notable within ASBC's large commercial and industrial and
commercial real estate loan portfolios, and if either of these
portfolios begin to exhibit meaningfully higher losses, ratings
could be pressured negatively.  That said, Fitch's internal stress
analysis indicates that the risk of unexpected losses is buffered
by ASBC's strong capital ratios, as the company's tangible equity
ratio, Tier one ratio, and total capital ratio stood at 8.03%,
17.68%, and 19.16%, respectively, as of Sept. 30, 2010, supporting
the Stable Rating Outlook.

Fitch notes that ASBC also continues to remain under the close
purview of regulators given its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Comptroller of the Currency and its separate MOU with the
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.  The MOU with the OCC relates to
risk management of its loan portfolio, maintenance of specified
capital levels, and notification of proposed dividend payments to
the holding company.  The MOU with the FRBC requires the company
to obtain approval prior to payment of dividends, interest or
principal payments on subordinated debt, increases in borrowings,
or stock repurchases.  To date, Fitch believes the company is in
compliance with this enhanced regulatory oversight, but should the
company fail to adequately comply with any regulatory requests its
business could become constrained.  Fitch also acknowledges ASBC's
continued participation in the TARP program, having sold $525
million of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury in November 2008.
Fitch does not expect in the near term that ASBC will be allowed
to repurchase its CPP, but when the company does, Fitch believes
ASBC will raise additional capital in order to facilitate that
eventual transaction.

ASBC is a $22.5 billion regional bank that operates approximately
300 offices in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota.  It offers
consumer and commercial banking services, trust and investment
management services, insurance, and mortgage banking.

Fitch has upgraded these ratings:

Associated Banc-Corp

  -- Long-term IDR to 'BBB-' from 'BB+';
  -- Subordinated debt to 'BB+' from 'BB';
  -- Preferred stock to 'BB' from 'BB-';
  -- Short-term IDR to 'F3' from 'B';
  -- Commercial Paper to 'F3' from 'B';
  -- Individual to 'C' from 'C/D'.

Associated Bank, N.A.

  -- Individual rating to 'C' from 'C/D';
  -- Short-term deposits to 'F2' from 'F3';

Associated Trust Company, N.A.

  -- Individual to 'C' from 'C/D'.

ASBC Capital I

  -- Preferred stock to 'BB' from 'BB-'.

Fitch has affirmed these ratings:

Associated Banc-Corp

  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support floor at 'NF'.

Associated Bank, N.A.

  -- Long-term IDR at 'BBB-';
  -- Long-term deposits at 'BBB';
  -- Long-term senior debt at 'BBB-';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F3';
  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support floor at 'NF'.

Associated Trust Company, N.A.

  -- Long-term IDR at 'BBB-';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F3';
  -- Support at '5';
  -- Support floor at 'NF'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

BASHAR ISSA: U.S. Court Approves Chapter 15 Petition
----------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Carl L. Bucki of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of New York approved the Chapter 15 petition of
Bashar Issa, recognizing the bankruptcy proceedings against
Mr. Issa in the United Kingdom as the foreign main proceeding

BBHI ACQUISITION: Moody's Assigns 'B1' Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 Corporate Family Rating
and B1 Probability of Default Rating for BBHI Acquisition, LLC,
a newly formed subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation
(Ba2 CFR) that will be indirectly acquiring the assets of
Bresnan Communications, LLC (B1 CFR) and ultimately merging into
Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC (the ultimate borrower of Moody's
rated debt).  Moody's also assigned Ba3 ratings to Bresnan's
$840 million of combined senior secured bank credit facilities
(comprised of a $765 million Term Loan and a $75 million Revolver)
and a B3 rating to the company's $250 million of senior unsecured
notes which are being arranged in conjunction with a $400 million
equity contribution from Cablevision to finance the $1.365 billion
acquisition.  Upon completion of the pending financing and
acquisition transactions, and the ensuing repayment of existing
rated debt, Moody's will withdraw its existing ratings for Bresnan
Communications and move the CFR and PDR assigned to BBHI to
Bresnan, the surviving entity post-merger of BBHI into Bresnan.
The rating outlook is stable.

This is a summary of rating actions taken for BBHI Acquisition,
LLC, and Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B1

  -- $765 million Senior Secured Term Loan due 2018, Assigned Ba3
     (LGD3-38%)

  -- $75 million Senior Secured Revolver due 2016, Assigned Ba3
     (LGD3-38%)

  -- $250 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2019, Assigned B3
     (LGD6-90%)

  -- Rating Outlook, Stable

Upon completion of the acquisition Moody's will withdraw these
ratings of Bresnan Communications, LLC:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, B1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, B1

  -- $540 million Senior Secured Term Loan B due 2013, B1 (LGD3-
     44%)

  -- $125 million Senior Secured Revolver due 2012, B1 (LGD3-44%)

  -- $75 million Senior Secured Term Loan A due 2012, B1 (LGD3-
     44%)

  -- $100 million Senior Secured Second Lien Term Loan due 2014,
     B3 (LGD6-93%)

                         Rating Rationale

Bresnan's B1 CFR reflects the company's limited scale and
relatively high proforma leverage of approximately 6.2x Debt-to-
EBITDA (incorporating Moody's standard adjustments).  It also
considers the company's relatively modest expected free cash flow
profile following the leveraged buyout by Cablevision, and ensuing
increase in interest expense (expected to be over $60 million in
2011, up from just over $30 million in 2010 while under prior
ownership and a less leveraged financial profile), as well as
higher planned capital expenditures.  Free cash flow-to-debt is
projected to approximate 2% in 2011 (compared to as much as 7% or
more in 2010).  The rating is supported, nonetheless, by Bresnan's
strong historical and expected future operating performance,
improving network quality and good management execution.  Moody's
expects revenue growth to continue in the mid-single-digit range
(approximately 5% - 7%) over the next 2 - 3 years as a result of
increased data and voice penetration of existing video customers
as well as rising ARPU levels.  Moody's also anticipate that new
ownership by Cablevision will result in some added benefits and
opportunities to further improve upon already above-average
operating performance, notably including more concerted
competitive initiatives directed towards direct broadcast
satellite operators who remain highly penetrated in Bresnan's
markets.

The credit facility is secured by the stock and substantially all
assets of the company and is guaranteed by domestic subsidiaries.
Cablevision notably does not provide a guaranty of the company's
debt, although an equity cure provision is contemplated in the
draft bank credit agreement.  Although the bank credit facility
documents have not been finalized, Moody's anticipate financial
maintenance covenants will include a maximum consolidated leverage
ratio, a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and minimum
liquidity requirements.  The proposed notes are unsecured, but are
also guaranteed by the company's domestic subsidiaries.

Ratings for the bank credit facility and the notes reflect both
the overall probability of default, which Moody's has assessed as
being consistent with a B1 PDR, and an average mean family loss
given default expectation of 50%, in line with Moody's LGD
Methodology and typical treatment for capital structures comprised
of multiple creditor classes, as in this instance wherein both a
first lien senior secured credit facility and unsecured notes are
represented.

The Ba3 (LGD3 - 38%) ratings for Bresnan's $75 million senior
secured revolving credit facility and $765 million senior secured
term loan benefit from the effective subordination of the B3 (LGD6
- 90%) $250 million senior unsecured notes.  The facilities are
rated one notch above the corporate family rating as they benefit
from the cushion provided by the unsecured notes.  Likewise, the
B3 rating on the notes and its loss given default assessment of
LGD6 (90%) reflect its junior ranking in the consolidated
capitalization.

This is the first rating action for the post-acquisition entity,
BBHI Acquisition LLC.  Moody's had previously rated the to-be-
acquired entity, Bresnan Communications, LLC (indirectly owned by
Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC), for which a B1 CFR was
maintained (and the ratings for which will be withdrawn upon
completion of the pending financing and acquisition transactions,
and corresponding repayment of all obligations thereunder).

                          Rating Outlook

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
Bresnan will continue its strong historical operating performance,
maintain manageable leverage levels (dropping below 6x in 2011)
supported by mid-single digit revenue growth, and be able to
mitigate any incremental expenses for programming and equipment
costs.  Moody's expect both ARPU levels and data and voice
penetration rates will continue to rise, resulting in sufficient,
albeit lower free cash flow given higher interest expense and
capital expenditures.

                What Could Change the Rating -- Up

Given the company's scale and financial leverage, Moody's do not
anticipate upward rating momentum at this time.  However, Moody's
would consider a potential positive outlook and/or upward rating
action should Bresnan significantly reduce and maintain leverage
(below 5x and trending towards 4.5x, incorporating Moody's
standard adjustments) and increase free cash flow, resulting in
free cash flow-to-debt approaching the high-single-digit
percentage range.

               What Could Change the Rating -- Down

Ratings could experience downward pressure if Bresnan fails to
maintain current market share and/or penetration rates, resulting
in a decline in EBITDA and ensuing growth in leverage levels.
Should leverage remain above 6x and/or free cash flow-to-debt fall
and remain below 2%, and/or if liquidity is strained in any way,
Moody's would consider a downward rating action.

                        Corporate Profile

BBHI Acquisition, LLC (and ultimately Bresnan Broadband Holdings,
LLC, with whom BBHI Acquisition will merge and which will be the
surviving entity; Bresnan) is a cable multiple system operating
company serving approximately 297,000 subscribers in the states of
Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah.  Headquartered in Purchase,
NY, the Company's revenue was approximately $441 million for the
LTM period ended 9/30/2010.  Cablevision Systems Corporation is in
the process of acquiring Bresnan for approximately $1.365 billion,
an adjusted EBITDA multiple exceeding 8x.


BIOSCRIP INC: S&P Puts 'B' Rating on CredityWatch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its 'B'
corporate credit rating, and all issue-level ratings, on Elmsford,
New York-based BioScrip Inc. on CreditWatch with negative
implications, reflecting a greater probability of a possible
covenant violation, because of recent weak operating performance.

While the CHS acquisition has contributed to double-digit revenue
growth and has aided profitability due to the higher margined
infusion therapy business, the company has fallen short of S&P's
initial expectations of earnings since the acquisition closed in
the first quarter of 2010.  As a result of a delay in the closing
of the Pharmacy.com acquisition along with higher costs associated
with recent manufacturing product recalls, IVIG product re-
allocations and other unexpected costs has led to a sequential
drop in profit margins of around 70 basis points from the second
quarter to third quarter of 2010.  While over the longer term S&P
expects BioScrip home health and infusion therapy business to
benefit from its larger national platform and capitalize on many
growth prospects, controlling its cost structure and realizing
cost synergies are necessary to improve slim operating margins and
contending with its tightening debt covenants.

S&P expects over the next several months to gain a clearer
understanding of the company's ability to reduce its cost
structure and cope with future covenant stepdowns, before taking
further rating action.


BOOZ ALLEN: Moody's Reviews 'B1' Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed certain debt ratings of Booz
Allen Hamilton Inc. under review for possible upgrade, including
the B1 corporate family rating.  The review is prompted by the
parent company's initial public stock offering and expectation of
$216 million debt reduction (about 15% of reported debt) that
should follow.  Upon the expected $216 million prepayment of 13%
senior unsecured mezzanine term loan due 2016, Moody's anticipates
raising the corporate family rating to Ba3 from B1, the senior
unsecured debt rating to B2 from B3, and affirming all other
instrument ratings.

The ratings placed under review for possible upgrade (LGD
assessment rates subject to change):

  -- Corporate family and probability of default, B1

  -- $550 million senior unsecured mezzanine term loan due July
     2016, B3 LGD5, 82%

Ratings unaffected by the review (LGD assessment rates subject to
change):

  -- $245 million senior secured first lien revolver due July
     2014, Ba2 LGD2, 26%

  -- $125 million senior secured first lien term loan A due July
     2014, Ba2 LGD2, 26%

  -- $585 million senior secured first lien term loan B due July
     2015, Ba2 LGD2, 26%

  -- $350 million senior secured first lien term loan C due July
     2015, Ba2 LGD2, 26%

The review for upgrade considers Booz Allen Hamilton's strong cash
flow generation capacity and solid government service contracting
business position, against better credit metrics pro forma for the
transaction.  Beyond debt reduction, the parent company's IPO
should also lessen future financial policy aggressiveness.

Although the corporate family rating should rise with the senior
unsecured debt repayment, the Ba2 instrument ratings of Booz Allen
Hamilton's senior secured bank debts will likely not change.  With
less unsecured debt, in a stress scenario, less effectively junior
debt would exist to absorb loss for the benefit of secured
creditors.  Thus, although the one-notch corporate family rating
upgrade would benefit the senior unsecured debt rating, the senior
secured debt ratings would likely be unaffected.

Moody's last rating announcement on Booz Allen Hamilton occurred
December 3, 2009, when the B1 corporate family rating was
affirmed.

Booz Allen Hamilton is a provider of management and technology
consulting services to the U.S. government in the defense,
intelligence and civil markets.  Booz Allen is headquartered in
McLean, Virginia, and had revenue of approximately $5.1 billion in
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

BRESNAN BROADBAND: S&P Affirms 'BB' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned ratings to the
proposed debt issues of Bresnan Broadband Holdings LLC, to be
issued in conjunction with the company's planned acquisition of
Bresnan by Bethpage, New York-based Cablevision Systems Corp. At
the same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB' corporate credit rating and
other ratings on Cablevision and related entities, with the
exception of the ratings on the company's Rainbow units.  which
are on CreditWatch with negative implications.  The ratings
outlook on Cablevision is stable.

S&P assigned its 'BB+' issue-level rating and '2' recovery
rating to Bresnan's aggregate $840 million secured credit
facilities, consisting of a $765 million seven-year term loan
and a $75 million five-year revolving credit facility.  The '2'
recovery indicates S&P's expectation of substantial (70%-90%)
recovery of principal in the event of a default.  S&P also rated
Bresnan's proposed $250 million of unsecured notes due 2018 at
'B+' with a '6' recovery rating, indicating its expectation for
negligible (0%-10%) recovery prospects.

Cablevision has a definitive agreement to purchase Bresnan's
approximately 297,000 basic cable subscribers for $1.365 billion.
The company would use the proceeds from the proposed debt issuance
and $395 million of cash to finance the acquisition.  Upon closing
of the acquisition, Bresnan would become an indirect, wholly
owned, unrestricted subsidiary of Cablevision.  Pro forma for the
transactions, which the companies said they expect to close this
year, Cablevision's total adjusted debt would be in the
$13 billion area.

While Cablevision does not guarantee the proposed Bresnan debt,
S&P analyze Bresnan on a consolidated basis with Cablevision,
recognizing a number of factors, including Cablevision's ownership
and control of Bresnan and commonality of business, as well as
Cablevision's significant $1.365 billion investment in Bresnan.
The issue-level and recovery ratings on the proposed Bresnan debt
reflect S&P's view that, in the event of a default, those
creditors' recourse would be limited to assets at the Bresnan
entity.

The affirmation of Cablevision's ratings recognizes that while
Bresnan's operating statistics are weaker than those of
Cablevision, Bresnan would be less than 10% of the combined basic
subscriber base and the acquisition would not materially alter
Cablevision's overall business risk profile.

"Further," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Richard Siderman,
"Cablevision has provided a credible development plan for the
Bresnan properties and, given its track record of successful
marketing of multiple service packages; S&P expects some level of
improvement in Bresnan properties under Cablevision ownership."
S&P expects Bresnan's programming costs to rise modestly as the
favorable programming rates currently available through its
minority owner, Comcast Corp., the nation's largest cable
operator, will end under Cablevision ownership.

Additionally, the affirmation of ratings on Cablevision reflects
S&P's view that the combined impact on Cablevision's consolidated
debt leverage from the Bresnan transaction and potential share
repurchases would be minimal.  S&P expects that Cablevision's
leverage will remain at or below the 5x area, including its
adjustments, over the medium term.


CABLEVISION SYSTEMS: Bresnan Deal Won't Affect Moody's Ba2 Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said Cablevision Systems Corporation's
Ba2 Corporate Family Rating and SGL-1 liquidity rating are not
affected by the company's pending $1.365 billion acquisition of
Bresnan Communications, LLC.  Although the new $1.09 billion
acquisition financing being arranged for BBHI Acquisition, LLC
(ultimately merging into Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC, which
will be the surviving entity and parent company of Bresnan
Communications) modestly increases financial leverage at the
consolidated Cablevision entity, the free-standing nature of the
new debt, and Bresnan more broadly (as a related, but unsupported
entity), is deemed to be of insufficient materiality to adversely
affect the ratings of Cablevision and its subsidiaries (including
CSC Holdings, Inc., Rainbow National Services LLC and Newsday
LLC).  The company's rating outlook remains positive.

The last rating action on Cablevision was on April 12, 2010, when
Moody's assigned B1 ratings for new senior unsecured debt (and
also revised the rating outlook to positive from stable).

Headquartered in Bethpage, New York, Cablevision Systems
Corporation is predominantly a domestic cable TV multiple system
operator serving approximately 3 million subscribers in and around
the New York metropolitan area.  The company also owns cable
network programming assets (via its Rainbow National Services LLC
subsidiary, and elsewhere) and newspaper and publishing assets
(via Newsday LLC, and elsewhere), among other media and
entertainment properties.  For the last twelve months ended
September 2010, the company generated approximately $8 billion of
revenue.


CAPITOL HILL: Bankr. Court Stands by Prior Pillsbury Ruling
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. S. Martin Teel, Jr., denies the request of Shaw Pittman
LLP, now known by way of merger as Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
LLP, for reconsideration of a prior Bankruptcy Court decision in
the Capital Hill Group bankruptcy case.  That decision addressed
the parties' agreement that Shaw Pittman would "not be fighting
with CHG about [its] fee applications," and construed the
agreement as an agreement that Capitol Hill Group would not object
to certain of Shaw Pittman's fee applications filed in Capitol
Hill Group's case.

A copy of Judge Teel's memorandum decision dated November 17,
2010, is available at http://is.gd/hzTsZfrom Leagle.com.

Pillsbury sued to recover attorney's fees it incurred in defending
against a malpractice lawsuit that Capitol Hill Group brought
against the firm in 2007 with respect to services the firm
provided to the company.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 29,
2010, the Bankruptcy Court denied a motion for summary judgment
filed by Pillsbury.  In a memorandum decision, Judge Teel said an
agreement by Capitol Hill not to oppose Shaw Pittman's
applications for attorney's fees billed prior to December 15,
2003, required only that the company won't contest the firm's fee
applications for services provided through November 30, 2003.  The
judge said the agreement did not purport to address any
malpractice claims that Capitol Hill Group might later pursue
against the firm even if relating to the services that were the
subject of those fee applications.

Capitol Hill Group commenced its bankruptcy case (Bankr. D. D.C.
Case No. 02-00359) by filing a voluntary petition under chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code on February 21, 2002, with Shaw Pittman
acting as its counsel.


CAREVIEW COMMUNICATIONS: Posts $6.8 Million Net Loss in Q3 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------
CareView Communications, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form

CARGO ACQUISITION: Moody's Cuts Ratings on Senior Debt to 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the senior secured debt of
Cargo Acquisition Companies Obligated Group to Ba1 from Baa3 and
the junior debt from Ba1 to Ba2.  The outlook remains negative.

                        Ratings Rationale

The downgrades reflects:

  -- Cargo's weakening credit metrics in 2009-2010 fiscal year and
     the expectation that metrics will continue to deteriorate in
     the 2010-2011 fiscal year as a result of reduced revenues and
     somewhat increased debt service requirements.  The DSCR's are
     now below the levels expected at the time of the rating
     assignment (1.95x range for the senior debt service coverage
     ratio and in the 1.45x range for the total DSCR).  Cargo's
     revenues have been affected by a number of trends, including
     the inability to charge premium rents for some facilities, \
     movement from air cargo to trucking especially for the
     airports which have little international traffic, and tenants
     restructuring their operations.

  -- Stabilization of the Group's worsening aggregate vacancy rate
     at its airport facilities is expected to lag the currently
     recovering air cargo volumes in the US and worldwide.

The outlook remains negative in view of the additional pressure on
the DSCR that may arise when principal repayment obligations start
increasing in 2012-2013 and beyond unless Cargo can return to a
growth mode.

Moody's notes that, at this stage, the Group still benefits from a
number of positive attributes including:

  -- Diversification of facilities with 14 airport locations
     throughout the US

  -- Airside access at most facilities

  -- Diversification of tenants and staggered maturities of
     leases, albeit there is concentration with some companies

  -- A large portion of its revenues is derived from Fedex and
     UPS, which are recovering well from the air cargo traffic
     collapse in late 08-early 09

  -- Proactive management of facilities and tenants, although
     Moody's notes that some of the strategies envisaged by the
     property manager could translate into additional upfront
     costs

  -- One year debt service reserve

The rating or the outlook could improve if the aggregate vacancy
rate declines to less than 23% (on a consolidated buildings,
offices and ramps basis) and if the DSCR improves on a sustained
basis back to original expectations of 1.95x (Senior) and 1.45x
(Total).  Conversely additional pressure on the ratings and
outlook could be exerted if the DSCR continues to deteriorate or
if the vacancy rate slips below current levels.

The last rating action was on August 17, 2009, when the ratings of
the debt issued by the Group were affirmed and the outlook was
changed from stable to negative.

Cargo's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors believed to be
relevant to the credit profile of the issuer such as i) the
business risk and competitive position of the issuer versus others
within its industry or sector, ii) the capital structure and
financial risk of the issuer, iii) the projected performance of
the issuer over the near to intermediate term, and iv) the
issuer's history of achieving consistent operating performance and
meeting budget or financial plan goals.  These attributes were
compared against other issuers both within and outside of Cargo's
core peer group and Cargo's ratings are believed to be comparable
to ratings assigned to other issuers of similar credit risk.

Cargo Acquisition Companies Obligated Group is comprised of
fourteen entities (each a member) that are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Cargo Acquisition Company, a 100% subsidiary of
CalEast Air Cargo, LLC.  Each of the Group's member was formed for
the purpose of developing and operating air cargo facilities.
Aeroterm US, Inc. serves as property and development manager at
each of the properties.

CENTRAL FALLS, RI: Supreme Court Won't Halt Receivership
--------------------------------------------------------
Melissa Sardelli at Eyewitness news reports that the city of
Central Falls, Rhode Island, will remain in receivership a bit
longer.

According to the report, the Rhode Island Supreme Court has denied
a request by the mayor and city councilors to regain power of the
financially struggling city.  The report relates that city
officials requested a permanent suspension of Superior Court
Associate Justice Michael A. Silverstein's decision back in
October.

The judge's decision declared the Central Falls receivership was
constitutional and the appointments made by the receiver were
within his authority, the report adds.

Central Falls is a city in Providence County, Rhode Island, United
States.  The population was 18,928 at the 2000 census.

A state fiscal receiver was appointed in July 2010, kicking out
the city council.  Charles Moreau, the mayor of Central Falls,
Rhode Island, and four city councilors have filed a lawsuit
claiming a law that put the cash-strapped city under control of a
state-appointed receiver is unconstitutional.

Moody's said in September 2010, "The city's weak credit profile,
insufficient cash-flows and continued reliance on market access to
finance operations and debt service, by way of tax anticipation
notes, continues to present heightened risk of a payment default,
including the potential for economic loss, should the city fail to
take the necessary steps to address its structural deficit or lose
market access."


CHEM RX: CIBC Throws Down New Challenge to Creditors' Attorneys

CHEMTURA CORP: Hearing on UK Pension Deal Set for Nov. 30
---------------------------------------------------------
The Robert E. Gerber, of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York will convene a hearing on
November 30, 2010, at 9:45 a.m. (ET), to consider approval of the
stipulation entered by Chemtura Corporation, et al., and the
Trustees of the Great Lakes UK Pension Plan.  Objections, if any,
are due 4:00 p.m., today, November 23.

The Debtors asked the Bankruptcy Court to approve a stipulation
regarding certain proofs of claim filed by the UK Pension
Trustees.

In October 2009, the UK Pension Trustees filed 27 contingent,
unliquidated proofs of claim in each of the Debtors' Chapter 11
cases asserting, among other things, that the Debtors may at some
time owe obligations on account of the UK Pension Plan as a result
of hypothetical future enforcement action by the UK Pensions
Regulator.

The stipulation is intended to resolve the Debtors' objection to
the Trustees of the Great Lakes UK Pension Plan's Proofs of Claim
and for the withdrawal of the UK Pension Trustees' proofs of
claim.

The stipulation provides for resolution of the UK Pension Claims
in a non-bankruptcy forum -- the Reorganized Debtors do not
believe that the Court is the proper forum to adjudicate liability
on account of foreign pension obligations.  In light of the full
payment contemplated under the Debtors' Plan of Reorganization to
all creditors and the unique circumstances involved in the
adjudication of pension claims, the Reorganized Debtors agreed to
resolve the UK Pension Claims in the applicable non-bankruptcy
forum.

The Debtors added that the stipulation does not result in an
admission or a waiver of any right of any Debtor or Reorganized
Debtor or non-Debtor to contest the UK Pension Claims on any
ground, except no party may assert that UK Pension Claims were
discharged pursuant to the Debtors' plan of reorganization.

COLT DEFENSE: Moody's Says Liquidity Profile Remains Adequate
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service stated that Colt Defense LLC's liquidity
profile remains adequate despite the amendment to its $50 million
multi-year senior secured credit facility converting it to a
$10 million Letter of Credit facility.

Moody's last rating action on Colt occurred June 30, 2010, when
the corporate family rating was downgraded to B2 with a stable
outlook.  This rating action concluded the review for ratings
downgrade action taken on April 2, 2010.

Colt Defense LLC, headquartered in West Hartford, CT, manufactures
small arms including the M4 carbine and M16 rifle for the U.S.
military, U.S. law enforcement agencies, and foreign allied
militaries.


EDUCATION MANAGEMENT: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating on $1.555 Bil. Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned the proposed
$1.555 billion senior secured credit facilities of Pittsburgh,
Pa.-based for-profit postsecondary education company Education
Management LLC its issue-level and recovery ratings.  S&P rated
the facilities 'BB' (one notch higher than its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on the company) with a recovery rating of '2',
indicating its expectation of substantial (70% to 90%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a payment default.

The proposed credit facilities will consist of a $442.5 million
revolving credit facility due June 2015 and a $1.112 billion term
loan C-2 due June 2016.  The company plans to use proceeds of the
new term loan to refinance outstanding amounts on its existing
term loan C, with a three-year extension of the maturity.  The new
revolving credit facility is the same size as the existing
facility, also with a three-year maturity extension.  S&P
therefore view this transaction as leverage neutral.

The corporate credit rating on Education Management is 'BB-' and
the rating outlook is stable.  The rating reflects the company's
dependence on federal student loan programs and uncertainty
regarding the outcome of proposed government rule changes
regarding federal student loan eligibility, balanced by
historically robust operating performance and relatively low debt
leverage for the rating.

COMMUNITYSOUTH FINANCIAL: Posts $4.7 Million Net Loss in Q3 2010
----------------------------------------------------------------
CommunitySouth Financial Corporation filed its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss of $4.7 million on $1.1 million of
net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010,
compared to a net loss of $2.1 million on $2.7 million of
net interest income for the same period of 2009.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company's non-performing assets
equaled $47.4 million, or 10.8% of assets, as compared to
$42.4 million, or 10.1% of assets, as of December 31, 2009.  As of
September 30, 2010, the Bank is deemed to be "critically
undercapitalized" with a regulatory leverage ratio of 1.07%.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, a bank that is
"critically undercapitalized" must be placed into conservatorship
or receivership within 90 days of becoming critically
undercapitalized, unless the bank's primary Federal regulatory
authority (for the Bank, the FDIC) determines and documents that
"other action" would better achieve the purposes of the FDI Act's
prompt corrective action capital requirements.  If the bank
remains critically undercapitalized on average during the calendar
quarter beginning 270 days after it became critically
undercapitalized, the FDI Act requires the appointment of a
receiver unless the bank and the FDIC affirmatively can determine
that, among other things, the bank has positive net worth and the
FDIC can certify that the bank is viable and not expected to fail.

The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, showed
$440.68 million in total assets, $439.01 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $1.67 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 4, 2010,
Elliott Davis, LLC, in Greenville, South Carolina, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern after auditing the Company's financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company's subsidiary bank, CommunitySouth Bank and
Trust, has significant capital and liquidity issues.

CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL: Creditors Balk at Pay for Relative of Founder
----------------------------------------------------------------
Unsecured creditors of Crystal Cathedral Ministries, which was
founded by Robert H. Schuller in 1955, are balking at $71,758 in
compensation the church wants to provide a Schuller family member
who appears to work only part time, Dow Jones' Small Cap reports.

According to the report, the official committee of unsecured
creditors formed in Crystal Cathedral's bankruptcy case said that
the Garden Grove, Calif., church has so far filed insider-
compensation requests on behalf of 13 Schuller family members.
But, the report relates, a request for one member in particular
shouldn't be approved because his role could be done for free by
volunteers, the committee said.

At issue is a proposal to pay pastor William Gaultiere $61,955,
plus medical and life-insurance benefits that the committee
contends amounts to $9,802, the report notes.

Dow Jones' says that Mr. Gaultiere's job description states that
he leads spiritual formation ministries, developing spiritual
leaders and helping them to 'be with Jesus in order to become like
him,' according to the committee.

behest of the United States Trustee.  Judge Trust says all
deadlines which run from the petition date or the order for relief
all run from July 15, 2010.

The Debtor did not object to its designation as a small business
debtor and the case as a small business case, but asked that the
deadlines applicable in a small business case take effect as of
the date of the designation as a small business case, rather than
as of the petition date.

A copy of Judge Trust's memorandum opinion, dated November 16,
2010, is available at http://is.gd/hzV5ffrom Leagle.com.

Display Group, Inc., filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
D. D.C. Case No. 10-75502) on July 15, 2010.  In its petition, the
Debtor checked the box that states "Debtor is not a small business
debtor as defined in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101(51D)."  The Debtor listed
total assets of $141,600 and total debts of $349,866, including
unsecured priority claims totaling $194,512, which consists of
$183,111 owed to the Internal Revenue Service, and $11,401 owed to
the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.  The only
assets listed by the Debtor are various personal properties; no
real property was listed.

Macco & Stern, LLP, serves as counsel for the Debtor.

The U.S. Trustee was unable to appoint a Committee of Unsecured
Creditors pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1102(a).

On August 25, 2010, the Court entered an order establishing
November 5, 2010, as the last day to file proofs of claims against
Debtor.


DORAL ENERGY: MaloneBailey LLP Raises Going Concern Doubt
---------------------------------------------------------
Doral Energy Corp. filed on November 15, 2010, its annual report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010.

MaloneBailey, LLP, in Houston, Texas, expressed substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has negative working
capital and recurring losses from operations.

The Company reported a net loss $13.80 million on $1.66 million
for fiscal 2010, compared with a net loss of $1.91 million on
$1.83 million of revenue for fiscal 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at July 31, 2010, showed $2.84 million
in total assets, $2.64 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $191,756.

On June 15, 2010, the Company completed the sale of the Hanson
Properties for a total purchase price of $10,370,990.  The Company
used the sales proceeds from the Hanson Sale to repay the
Macquarie loan of $6.5 million toward principal and interest and
purchased the Stearns Properties for $1.7 million.  The rest of
the proceeds were used for working capital.

DOUGLAS ASPHALT: District Court Affirms Chapter 7 Conversion
------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Lisa Godbey Wood, Chief District Judge of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia,
affirmed Bankruptcy Court Judge John S. Dalis' order converting
Douglas Asphalt Company's Chapter 11 case to Chapter 7.  The
Debtor's appeal is denied.

Douglas Asphalt, founded in 1971 by principal owner and president
Joel Spivey, was once a successful contractor for a number of
state and federal highway construction projects.  In 2006, the
Debtor had 550 employees, 10 asphalt plants, and generated gross
revenue of approximately $140 million.

Applied Technical Services, an industrial testing company,
reported that the asphalt the Debtor was using on road projects
did not meet state requirements.  Third parties that had issued
performance bonds on such projects completed the work at their own
expense and generated substantial claims against the Debtor.  As a
result of its problems, the Debtor laid off all of its employees
and ceased business operations in 2007 and began pursuing legal
claims against various parties.  In a lawsuit against Applied
Technical Services, the Debtor won a judgment for $150 million.
The Debtor continues to pursue other legal claims.

On December 2, 2009, the Debtor's largest creditors, whose claims
total about $162 million, filed an involuntary Chapter 7
bankruptcy petition against it.  The Debtor, reporting debts of
about $220 million, filed a motion for relief under Chapter 11,
which the bankruptcy court granted.

On February 5, 2010, the U.S. Trustee's office conducted a meeting
of creditors and stated that the Debtor had virtually no equity in
its real property or equipment and had no employees, construction
contracts, or significant cash flow.  The U.S. Trustee appointed a
Chapter 11 trustee on February 17, 2010, and sought Chapter 7
conversion.

EIGHT BULLS: Ch. 7 Trustee May Avoid Interests in Property
----------------------------------------------------------
In ANDREA DOBIN, Trustee, Plaintiff, v. TIMOTHY J. SHEEHAN and
BARBARA E. SHEEHAN, Defendants (Bankr. D. N.J. Adv. Proc. Case No.
10-1994), Ms. Dobin, as Chapter 7 Trustee for Eight Bulls, LP,
seeks summary judgment to avoid the interests of Timothy and
Barbara Sheehan in certain property listed on the Debtor's
bankruptcy petition.  The Hon. Raymond T. Lyons rules that,
because (1) the deeds to the Sheehans were not recorded as of the
date of the Debtor's petition, (2) New Jersey state law allows a
bona fide purchaser to take free of unrecorded interests, and (3)
the Bankruptcy Code provides Ms. Dobin with the rights and powers
of a bona fide purchaser, Ms. Dobin may avoid the Sheehans'
interests.

Eight Bulls, LP, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. D.
N.J. Case No. 09-29356) on July 27, 2009, listing ownership of
certain real property in Princeton Township, Mercer County, New
Jersey.  On January 29, 2010, the case was converted to Chapter 7.


ELEPHANT TALK: Posts $25.85MM Net Loss in Third Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------
Elephant Talk Communications, Inc., and its subsidiaries incurred
a net loss of $25,846,225 for the three months ended September 30,
2010, compared with a net loss of $5,630,633 for the same period
last year.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$41,687,887 in total assets, $69,794,315 in total liabilities and
a $28,106,428 stockholders' deficit.  The Company has an
accumulated deficit of $114,877,217 including a net loss of
$52,542,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company has relied on a combination of debt and equity
financing to fund ongoing cash requirements.  In the first nine
months of 2010 the Company has received loans in the total amount
of $2,518,220 from QAT II Investments, SA, a related party
investment fund.  The Company also raised $2,885,000 in a bridge
financing of units consisting of common stock, no par value, and
warrants exercisable into common stock, with accredited investors.
Subsequent to the Bridge Financing, the Company conducted a
private placement of units consisting of shares of its common
stock and warrants to accredited investors which resulted in gross
proceeds of $6,459,800 in the second quarter 2010, $1,927,750 in
the third quarter and $5,612,450 in October 2010 bringing the
total gross proceeds of the Private Placement Offering to
$14,000,000.  Following the closing of the 2010 Private Placement
Offering, the promissory notes and loans of the Company
outstanding to QAT and QAT II automatically converted into equity
in the amount of $8,125,571 by delivery of units consisting of
shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase shares of
common stock.

Excluding the final closing of the 2010 Private Placement
Offering on October 8, 2010, through September 30, 2010, the
Company has raised gross proceeds of approximately $13.8 million
consisting of $2.5 million in convertible debt and $11.3 million
in equity, resulting in total net proceeds to us of approximately
$12.2 million.

The Company believes that its cash balance at September 30, 2010,
in combination with the additional funding received so far in
2010, cash generated from operations, expected additional
revenues, repayment of certain debt as well as continued
investment in capital expenditures will last the Company until
first quarter 2011.  Considering its share price development and
upcoming achievements the Company expects warrants to purchase
stock in its company to be exercised, which would provide
sufficient funds until at least fourth quarter 2011.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 7, 2010,
BDO Seidman, LLP, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, following the Company's
results for 2009.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
incurred a net loss of $17.4 million, used cash in operations of
$5.4 million and had an accumulated deficit of $62.3 million.

In the Form 10-Q, Elephant Talk stated, "Although the Company has
previously been able to raise capital as needed, the capital may
not continue to be available at all, or if available, on
reasonable terms at the moments the Company needs it.  Further,
the terms of the financing may be dilutive to existing
shareholders or otherwise on terms not favorable to the Company or
existing shareholders.  The current global financial situation may
offer additional challenges to raising the required capital.  If
the Company is unable to secure additional capital, as
circumstances require, or does not succeed in meeting its sales
objectives the Company may not be able to continue operations.  As
of September 30 2010, these conditions raised substantial doubt
from the Company's auditors as to its ability to continue as a
going concern."

ENTERGY NEW: Moody's Affirms 'B1' Preferred Stock Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a senior secured rating of Baa3
to Entergy New Orleans' new issuance of first mortgage bonds, to
be used to refund $25 million of outstanding 6.75% First Mortgage
Bonds due in 2017.  Concurrent with this rating assignment,
Moody's affirmed all of Entergy New Orleans' existing ratings,
including its Baa3 senior secured; Ba2 Issuer Rating; and B1
preferred stock rating.  The rating outlook is stable.

"The ratings of Entergy New Orleans reflect strong financial and
cash flow coverage metrics and the steady recovery of the utility
over the last several years from the devastation caused by
Hurricane Katrina in 2005", said Michael G. Haggarty, Senior Vice
President.  Financial metrics have fully recovered to levels
experienced by the company in the years preceding the storm,
including CFO pre-working capital interest coverage averaging 5.4
times from 2007 to 2009 and CFO pre-working capital to debt
averaging 29.6% over the same period.  The company's financial and
operational recovery is partly attributable to the receipt of
community development block grant funds and insurance proceeds
following the storm, as well as credit supportive regulatory
decisions on the part of the New Orleans City Council in recent
years.  The company's regulatory framework includes a three-year
formula rate plan with its most recent filing resulting in an
electric rate decrease of $18 million and no change in gas rates
as of October 2010.  The rate reduction was partially due to the
strong recovery of the utility and the City of New Orleans itself
since the 2005 storm.  Entergy New Orleans resumed paying
dividends to the parent company in 2009 with $32.9 million paid
that year and $31.2 million paid during the first nine months of
FY 2010.

Offsetting the utility's strong financial performance and
generally supportive regulatory environment is the utility's small
size, a highly concentrated service territory in an area
vulnerable to additional storms, and large capital expenditure
requirements for the maintenance of existing assets, transmission,
load growth, and the eventual replacement of a gas system damaged
by Katrina-related flooding.  These factors are a significant
constraint on the ratings and are the primary reasons that the
company's Issuer Rating remains at the below investment grade Ba2
level.

Entergy New Orleans' liquidity is supported by approximately
$100 million of cash on hand as of September 30, 2010, as well as
strong internal cash flow.  However, it does not maintain a bank
facility of its own and relies entirely on its participation in
the Entergy system money pool for any short-term funding needs
over and above what it can provide from internal sources.  Entergy
Corporation maintains a $3.5 billion credit facility expiring in
August 2012, which had approximately $1.8 billion outstanding as
of September 30, 2010.

The rating outlook of Entergy New Orleans is stable, reflecting
Moody's expectation that the company will continue to maintain
adequate financial flexibility and generate financial metrics that
are strong for its current rating; that costs incurred for the
long-term rebuilding of the gas system will be manageable; and
that the company will continue to benefit from the recovery of the
City of New Orleans and reasonably credit supportive regulatory
treatment.

The rating is unlikely to be upgraded in the near to intermediate
term as it remains highly constrained by the utility's small size,
the loss of a significant portion of its customer base, its
vulnerability to additional storms, and the large capital
requirements needed to rebuild the gas system.  The rating also
does not incorporate any lift or support from its position as part
of the Entergy system.

The rating could be lowered if substantial debt is incurred to
finance the rebuilding of its gas system; if its service territory
is seriously affected by another major storm; or if there is a
sustained decline in financial metrics, including a CFO pre-
working capital interest coverage below 2.7 times or a CFO pre-
working capital to debt below 13%.

Ratings assigned:

  -- Entergy New Orleans $25,000,000 First Mortgage Bonds 5.10%
     Series due December 1, 2020 at Baa3.

Ratings affirmed:

  -- Entergy New Orleans' Baa3 senior secured; Ba2 Issuer Rating;
     and B1 preferred stock rating.

Entergy New Orleans, Inc., is the smallest of the six operating
utility subsidiaries of New Orleans-based Entergy Corporation with
a service territory limited to the City of New Orleans.


ESP RESOURCES: Posts $776,500 Net Loss in September 30 Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
ESP Resources, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $776,474 on $1.31 million of revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $2.00 million on $760,504 of revenue for the same period
last year.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had negative working capital
of $602,457.

"We will require additional funds to implement our growth
strategy.  To date, we have had negative cash flows from
operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity
securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements.  We
expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future."

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$3.58 million in total assets, $3.41 million in total liabilities,
and stockholders' equity of $172,531.

MaloneBailey, LLP, in Houston, expressed substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, following
the Company's 2009 results.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has incurred losses through December 31, 2009, and has
negative working capital.

FGBC BANCSHARES: Posts $3.4 Million Net Loss in Q3 2010
-------------------------------------------------------
FGBC Bancshares, Inc., filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $3.4 million on $5.4 million of revenue
for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $10.3 million on $5.9 million of revenue for the same
period last year.

Effective August 11, 2010, the Company's bank subsidiary First
Georgia Banking Company entered into a Stipulation and Consent
Agreement with the Georgia Department of Banking and Financing,
and acknowledged by the FDIC, agreeing to the issuance of a
Consent Order.  "Our future viability is subject to the Bank's
ability to successfully operate under the terms of the Order,
which requires the Bank to take a number of affirmative steps
including, among other things, achieving and maintaining a Tier 1
capital to total assets ratio of at least 8.0%," the Company said
in the filing.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company was considered
"undercapitalized," under regulatory guidelines.

The Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2010, showed
$802.1 million in total assets, $776.4 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of 25.7 million.

Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC, in Atlanta, Ga., expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered
significant losses from operations due to the economic downturn,
which has resulted in declining levels of capital.

FIRST DATA: Note Exchange Offer Cues Moody's 'Caa1' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said in response to First Data Corp.'s
announced note exchange offer that it expects the company's new
debt instruments will likely be rated Caa1 assuming that 50% of
the old notes are exchanged.  The final ratings and Loss Given
Default assessments will be determined ultimately by the
allocation between the new and old notes upon completion of the
debt exchange.

The last rating action was on August 11, 2010, when Moody's
assigned a B1 rating to First Data's new $500 million senior
secured first lien notes and affirmed the company's B3 CFR and
existing ratings with a stable outlook.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, First Data Corp. provides commerce and
payment solutions for financial institutions, merchants, and other
organizations worldwide.


FIRST DATA: Fitch Assigns 'CCC/RR6' Rating to $2.75 Bil. Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects to assign a 'CCC/RR6' rating to First Data
Corp.'s proposed issuance of up to $2.75 billion in second lien
notes as part of its recently announced exchange offer.
Specifically, FDC is offering to exchange for each $1,000 par
value senior unsecured note (either the 9.875% cash pay notes due
2015 or the 10.55% PIK notes due 2015) an equivalent principal
amount of notes comprised of $500 of second lien notes and $500 of
new senior unsecured notes.  The new second lien notes may, at the
election of the note holder, be in the form of cash pay notes or
PIK toggle notes (the amount of PIK toggle notes is subject to
minimum and maximum demand thresholds of $500 million and
$1 billion, respectively).

The proposed cash pay second lien notes and new senior unsecured
notes have a maturity date of 2021.  The proposed PIK toggle
second lien notes have a maturity date of 2022.

Fitch would expect the 'CCC/RR6' rating to apply to both the
proposed cash pay second lien notes as well as the potential PIK
toggle second lien notes.  In addition, Fitch expects to rate the
new senior unsecured notes 'CCC/RR6'.

Fitch expects that these current ratings for FDC would also be
affirmed post the exchange offer:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating 'B';

  -- $2 billion senior secured revolving credit facility due 2013
     'BB-/RR2';

  -- $11.9 billion senior secured term loan B due 2014 'BB-/RR2';

  -- $510 million 8.875% senior secured notes due 2020 'BB-/RR2';

  -- $3.75 billion 9.875% senior unsecured notes due 2015
     'CCC/RR6';

  -- $3.5 billion 10.55% senior unsecured notes with four-year
     mandatory paid-in-kind interest due 2015 'CCC/RR6'; and

  -- $2.5 billion 11.25% senior subordinated notes due 2016
     'CC/RR6'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Total liquidity as of Sept. 30, 2010, was solid and consisted of
$442 million in cash and $1.7 billion available under a $2 billion
senior secured RCF that expires September 2013.  The reduced
availability under the RCF partially reflects approximately
$230 million which was provided by an affiliate of Lehman Brothers
and is no longer available to be borrowed upon in addition to
letters of credit currently outstanding.  Approximately
$203 million of cash is held by Bank of America Merchant Services
and IPS (a discontinued business segment) and is not available for
general corporate purposes.

Total debt as of Sept. 30, 2010, was approximately $22.7 billion
and consisted primarily of these: i) $11.9 billion outstanding
under a secured term loan B maturing September 2014;
ii) $3.75 billion in 9.875% senior unsecured notes maturing
September 2015; iii) $3.5 billion in 10.55% notes maturing
September 2015 with mandatory PIK interest through September 2011
and cash interest thereafter; iv) $2.5 billion of 11.25% senior
subordinated notes maturing September 2016; and v) $510 million in
8.875% senior secured notes due August 2020.  In addition, the
parent company of FDC, First Data Holdings, Inc., has outstanding
$1 billion original value senior unsecured PIK notes due 2016.

The Recovery Ratings for FDC reflect Fitch's recovery expectations
under a distressed scenario, as well as Fitch's expectation that
the enterprise value of FDC, and hence recovery rates for its
creditors, will be maximized in a restructuring scenario (as a
going concern) rather than a liquidation scenario.  In deriving a
distressed enterprise value, Fitch applies a 15% discount to FDC's
estimated operating EBITDA (adjusted for equity earnings in
affiliates) of approximately $2.2 billion for the latest 12 months
ended Sept. 30, 2010, which is equivalent to Fitch's estimate of
FDC's total interest expense and maintenance capital spending.
Fitch then applies a 6x distressed EBITDA multiple, which
considers FDC's prior public trading multiple and that a stress
event would likely lead to multiple contraction.  As is standard
with Fitch's recovery analysis, the revolver is fully drawn and
cash balances fully depleted to reflect a stress event.  The 'RR2'
for FDC's secured bank facility and senior secured notes reflects
Fitch's belief that 71%-90% recovery is realistic.  The 'RR6' for
FDC's second lien, senior and subordinated notes reflect Fitch's
belief that 0%-10% recovery is realistic.  The 'CC/RR6' rating for
the subordinated notes reflects the minimal recovery prospects and
inherent subordination in a recovery scenario.


FIRST MIDWEST: Fitch Downgrades Subordinated Debt Rating to 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has removed from Rating Watch Negative and
downgraded the long-term Issuer Default Ratings of First Midwest
Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiary, First Midwest Bank, to 'BBB-'
from 'BBB'.  The Rating Outlook is Negative.

The rating action reflects Fitch's ongoing concerns related to
commercial real-estate, as articulated in Fitch's special report
'U.S. Bank CRE Exposure Review' dated Nov. 16, 2009.  Fitch's
regards the CRE performance as a lagging indicator of the broader
economic environment.  Under Fitch's framework, Fitch regards FMBI
to be relatively more susceptible to further deterioration in CRE
performance and valuation over the foreseeable future versus
other 'BBB' rated institutions given its concentration of CRE.
As such, FMBI may continue to operate with a comparatively higher
level of nonperforming assets, which would constrain profitability
versus historical averages for a longer period than Fitch had
previously anticipated.  Fitch notes that FMBI's CRE concentration
($2.82 billion or 50% of total loans, and 62.6% excluding covered
loans at Sept. 30, 2010) is much larger than many 'BBB+' and 'BBB'
rated peers, particularly relative to tangible common equity.  As
such, in Fitch's opinion, FMBI may lag peers in producing
normalized earnings and profitability due to this concentration.

Fitch's rating action incorporates FMBI's improved capital
position following its $207 million equity raise earlier in the
year, which provides absorption for potential losses stemming from
problematic loans.  At 3Q'10, FMBI's tangible common equity ratio
improved to 8.34% from 6.32% year-end 2009.

The Negative Outlook reflects the view that FMBI's financial
profile will remain pressured over the coming quarters.  Although
the company has generated marginal earnings to date, this reflects
in part harvesting of non-recurring securities gains.  That said,
Fitch notes that FMBI has added earning assets through the
completion of three FDIC-assisted acquisitions within its
footprint that has added about $883 million in assets.  Fitch's
ratings have recognized the company's historically strong pre-
provision net revenue and net interest margin; however, these
measures could come under pressure if asset quality were to weaken
further.  Fitch will continue to monitor progress with FMBI's
asset remediation strategy.  To the extent FMBI is able to
accelerate resolution of its problem assets, without materially
affecting capital, the Outlook could be revised to Stable.
Ratings may be negatively affected if inflows of problem loans
were to show an increasing trend.

Based in Itasca, IL, FMBI is a $7.7 billion bank holding company
that operates within the suburban Chicago markets offering
traditional banking products, trust, insurance, and investment
management services through its primary bank subsidiary, First
Midwest Bank.  The company maintains a small presence in the Quad
Cities along the Illinois/Iowa border and in Central Illinois.
FMBI operates 93 branches throughout the Chicago metropolitan
statistical area.

Fitch removed from Rating Watch Negative, downgraded, and assigned
a Negative Outlook to these ratings:

First Midwest Bancorp, Inc.

  -- Long-term IDR to 'BBB-' from 'BBB';
  -- Short-term IDR to 'F3' from 'F2';
  -- Subordinated debt to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
  -- Preferred stock to 'BB' from 'BB+'.

First Midwest Bank

  -- Long-term IDR to 'BBB-' from 'BBB';
  -- Short-term IDR to 'F3' from 'F2';
  -- Long-term deposits to 'BBB' from 'BBB+';
  -- Short-term deposits to 'F3' from 'F2'.

First Midwest Capital Trust I

  -- Preferred stock downgraded to 'BB' from 'BB+'.

------------------------------------------------------------
Geokinetics, Inc. complied with the consolidated total revenue and
consolidated cumulative EBITDA covenants related to the revolving
credit facility for the month ending October 31, 2010.

The Company received waivers of the covenants it was unable to
meet at September 30, 2010.  In connection with these waivers, the
Company amended its revolving credit facility, which among other
things, requires that the Company adhere to monthly consolidated
total revenue and consolidated cumulative EBITDA targets

month ending November 30, 2010.  The Company has complied with the
revised monthly covenants for the months ending September 30 and

compliance with the covenants for the month ending November 30,

current forecast and despite improving activity levels, the
Company believes it is likely that it will not be able to maintain
the original covenants required at the December 31, 2010

from the trailing twelve months.  As such, the Company is
currently in discussions with its lenders about potential
solutions that would provide future covenant relief.

GREEN BANKSHARES: Howard G. Smith-Led Investors File Class Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, representing investors of Green
Bankshares, Inc. has filed a class action lawsuit in United States
District Court on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or
entities who purchased the securities of Green Bankshares between
January 19, 2010, and November 9, 2010, inclusive.  The class
action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Tennessee.  Green Bankshares operates as
the bank holding company for GreenBank, which provides commercial
banking services primarily in Tennessee.

The Complaint charges the Company and certain of its executive
officers with violations of federal securities laws.  The
Complaint alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was
overvaluing the collateral of certain loans; (2) that, as such,
the Company was failing to timely take impairment charges to
reduce the carrying values of certain loans to appropriate market
values; (3) that the Company lacked adequate internal and
financial controls; and (4) that, as a result, the Company's
financial results were materially false and misleading at all
relevant times.

On October 20, 2010, Green Bankshares announced its financial
results for the 2010 fiscal third quarter and disclosed that the
Company's net charge-offs increased on a sequential basis to $36.5
million from $4.9 million in the prior quarter.  Moreover, the
Company indicated that it had engaged an independent third-party
loan reviewer, which contributed to the asset quality-impact
reflected in its third quarter results.  On this news, shares of
the Company declined $2.79 per share, more than 43%, to close on
October 21, 2010, at $3.68 per share, on unusually heavy volume.

Then, on November 9, 2010, after the market closed, the Company
announced that in consultation with the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta, Green Bankshares had given notice to the U.S. Treasury
Department that the Company was suspending the payment of regular
quarterly cash dividends on the Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, issued to the U.S. Treasury
Department. Further, the Company disclosed that "two large
relationships totaling approximately $31.4 million, after charge-
offs of $20.7 million," had defaulted during the third quarter.
According to the Company, "these borrowers had been paying
interest only and were current but new appraisals ordered during
the quarter showed collateral shortfalls that caused the Company
to move these relationships to non-accrual and charge them down to
the collateral values."

As a result of this news, shares of the Company declined $1.08 per
share, more than 29.5%, to close on November 10, 2010, at $2.57
per share, on unusually heavy volume.

Greeneville, Tenn.-based Green Bankshares, Inc., with total assets
of approximately $2.6 billion and about $2.2 billion in

GREENWICH SENTRY: Files for Chapter 11 in Manhattan
---------------------------------------------------
Greenwich Sentry LP, a feeder fund for Bernard L. Madoff
Investment Securities Inc., sought bankruptcy protection from
creditors under Chapter 11 in Manhattan on Nov. 22 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16229).

The Debtor estimated assets and debts of $100 million to
$500 million.  The largest unsecured creditor is Irving H.
Picard, the trustee for the Madoff estate, asserting claims of
$206 million.

The funds' "immediate objective is to obtain a breathing spell
from the various litigations," Greenwich Sentry General Counsel
Mark McKeefry said in court papers, according to Bloomberg
News.

Bloomberg News notes that in addition to Mr. Picard, investors
brought lawsuits in state court against the fund's managers for
aiding the Madoff fraud.

The investment partnerships used a form of "nontraditional
options trading" implemented by Mr. Madoff, Mr. McKeefry said.

Mr. Madoff was arrested in 2008 for operating the largest Ponzi
scheme in U.S. history.  He is serving a 150-year prison term
after pleading guilty to fraud. The Greenwich funds have been
conducting "good faith" discussions with Picard and will
propose a plan to settle all the suits, Mr. McKeefry said.


HARRISBURG, PA: Pa. Delays Ruling on Special Aid to December
------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that Pennsylvania delayed a
determination of whether Harrisburg, its capital, is distressed
and eligible for special state aid and oversight, putting off the
decision until next month.

Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that the hearing on Harrisburg Mayor
Linda Thompson's application to the state's oversight program,
known as Act 47, was closed after more testimony from the public
and local officials.  The report relates that attorneys have 10
days to file briefs, and then Department of Community and Economic
Development Secretary Austin Burke will make the decision on
whether to declare Harrisburg distressed after receiving them, and
other records.

Dow Jones' relates that the hearing was first held on Oct. 20, but
state officials decided to continue it because of objections by a
local taxpayer group, Debt Watch Harrisburg.

                     About Harrisburg, PA

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

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

The city has missed about $8 million in debt-service payments this
year on bonds issued in connection with a trash-to-energy
incinerator.  The city owes another $40 million by the end of the
year, and was sued by its home county Dauphin County; bond insurer

        and D. Weston which grants the Lender, as successor
        beneficiary, the right, title and interest to, among other
        things, all Leases and Rent.

The Lender is the direct counterparty to:

     a. Assignment of Rents, Leases, Profits, and Contracts, and,
        dated August 29, 2008;

     b. Modified Note, dated February 23, 2009, made and delivered
        to the Lender by Debtor and D. Weston in the stated
        principal amount of $5,994,969.68;

     c. Mortgage Modification and Spreading Agreement, dated
        February 23, 2009, made and delivered to the Lender by the
        Debtor and D. Weston; and

     d. UCC Financing Statement No. 200809527934 filed on
        November 13, 2008, with the Office of the Florida
        Secretary of State by Lender, which grants Lender a lien
        on all assets, personal property, and fixtures related to
        the Real Property, including proceeds therefrom.

The Lender objects to the Debtor's use of its cash collateral,
citing that: (a) the Rents are not property of the estate and not
cash collateral; and (b) if the Rents are cash collateral, Lender
does not consent to the use of its cash collateral nor is it
adequately protected.

The Lender says that the Rents are not property of the bankruptcy
estate and not cash collateral because the appointment of the
Receiver and the Final Judgment of Foreclosure divested the
Debtor of the right to use the rents -- a right incident to
ownership -- and the Receiver holds the Rents for the benefit of
the Lender, not the Debtor.

Debtor defaulted under the loan documents.  On August 8, 2009, the
Lender enforced its rights under the Loan Documents by filing with
the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, Charlotte
County, Florida, a two count Complaint for Foreclosure and Other
Relief.  On September 20, 2010, after an extended evidentiary
hearing that occurred on two separate days, the State Court
entered an order appointing A.T. Parsons, Jr., as the Receiver for
the Debtor's property.  The state court made specific findings of
fact warranting the appointment of a receiver, which are
compelling as they show that the Debtor is incapable of protecting
and preserving the Property.

The Lender claims that the Debtor has not proposed adequate
protection for use of cash collateral.

The Lender asks the Court to require the Debtor to segregate the
cash collateral and provide the Lender with an accounting of the
Lender's cash collateral since the filing of this bankruptcy
proceeding until a budget has been approved.  The Lender also asks
the Court to allow the Receiver to remain in control of the
Property because retention of the Receiver is in the best
interests of the creditors of this estate.

The Lender is represented by Fowler White Boggs P.A. and Husch
Blackwell LLP.

LACK'S STORES: Store Closing Sales Begin at All 36 Locations
------------------------------------------------------------
After more than 70 years in business, and under authority of a
U.S. Bankruptcy court, store closing sales are now in progress at
all 36 Lacks Home Furnishings, Inc. stores in Texas.  About
$40 million of top quality furniture, bedding, major appliances,
televisions and home accessories will be liquidated.

Discounts from 30% to 50% are offered on all merchandise at every
Lacks location.  Consumers will benefit from very significant
savings on Lacks' entire stock of furniture for the bedroom,
living room, dining room, kids' room, den and home office.  There
are substantial price reductions on all mattress sets, home
theater entertainment centers and decorative accessories, as well.
In addition, all famous brand televisions and appliances,
including washers, dryers, ranges, refrigerators and dishwashers
are now deeply discounted.

Liquidation of all inventory and store fixtures is being managed
by a joint venture composed of Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC and
SB Capital Group, LLC.

Cory Lipoff, Executive Vice President and Principal at Hilco
Merchant Resources stated, "This is a tremendous opportunity for
home owners and apartment renters to take advantage of truly
compelling discounts on a huge selection of furniture, appliances
and accessories. We anticipate that today's value conscious
consumer will respond very positively to these outstanding savings
on quality home furnishings from a company with a long and proud
history. We expect this will be a short sale."

                        About Lack's Stores

Founded in 1938 by David & Rebecca Lack, Lack's Stores, Inc. --
http://www.lacks.com/-- is one of the largest, independently-
owned retail furniture chains in the United States. Lacks is a
chain of 36 retail stores and operates under the trade styles
Lacks and Lacks Home Furnishings.  The Company sells a complete
line of furnishings for the home including furniture, bedding,
major appliances and home electronics.  The stores are located in
South, Central, and West Texas.

Lack's Stores, Inc., and its units filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection on November 16 in Victoria, Texas (Bankr. S.D. Texas
Lead Case No. 10-60149), blaming its lenders for no longer wanting
to finance customer accounts.  Attorneys at Vinson & Elkins LLP
serve as bankruptcy counsel.  Lack's Stores estimated assets and
debts of $100 million to $500 million in its Chapter 11 petition.

According to Furniture Today, the Company laid the blame for the
bankruptcy move on its lenders and a credit squeeze.  Court
documents said that despite the retailer's improving operations in
2009 and this year and its gradual pay down of the balance owed on
its senior credit facility, the lenders would not refinance or
restructure its obligations under terms that would allow it to
continue operating, Furniture Today adds.

LENNY DYKSTRA: Index Investors Buys Sherwood House for $760,000
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ventura County Star reports that Lenny Dykstra's Lake Sherwood
house was sold to Oregon-based private equity firm Index
Investors, a junior lienholder, for $760,712 at an auction.

According to the report, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. holds the senior
lien that's about $13.5 million, said Jeff Smith, a managing
member with Index.  Index is negotiating with J.P. Morgan to deal
with that debt.  Mr. Smith said he was the lone bidder at the
Ventura County courthouse.

                        About Lenny Dykstra

Lenny Dykstra is a former Major League Baseball all-star player.
He was center fielder for the New York Mets and Philadelphia
Phillies.  He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
C.D. Calif. Case No. 09-18409) on July 7, 2009, in Woodland Hills,
California.  The Law Office of M. Jonathan Hayes, in Northridge,
California, represents the Debtor.  The Debtor estimated up to
$50,000 in assets and $10 million to $50 million in debts in his
Chapter 11 petition.

A Chapter 11 trustee was appointed in September 2009, and the case
was converted to a liquidation in Chapter 7 on November 20, 2009.
The trustee -- Arturo M. Cisneros -- was investigating the
disposition of personal property both before and after the Chapter
11 filing.

In August 2010, Mr. Cisneros stepped down as Chapter 7 trustee
following issues with his failing to disclose the extent of his
business with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., which happens to be largest
creditor in Mr. Dykstra's case.


LIONCREST TOWERS: Court to Consider Further Cash Use Today
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois
will convene a hearing today, November 23,2010 at 10:30 a.m., to
consider Lioncrest Towers, LLC's request for continued use of
Wells Fargo Bank's cash collateral.

The Bankruptcy Court previously entered an interim order allowing
the Debtor to access cash collateral.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on September 6, Wells
Fargo asserts a senior mortgage lien and against the Debtor's
residential apartment project in Richton Park, Illinois, known as
Park Towers, pursuant to a senior mortgage indebtedness of
approximately $29.50 million.  Wells Fargo also asserts a security
interest in and lien upon, among other things, the rents being
generated at the Property.

The Debtor would use the cash collateral to fund its Chapter 11
case, pay suppliers and other parties.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of the lenders'
collateral, the Debtors will grant Wells Fargo a valid, perfected,
enforceable and non-avoidable first priority interest in and lien
and mortgage upon all of the Debtor's assets.

The Debtor will also provide the Wells Fargo any reports or other
information concerning any sale or proposed sale of the Debtor's
assets, well as other financial and other information concerning
the business, financial affairs of the Debtor and the operation of
the collateral.  On the 15th day of each month, the Debtor will
provide the Wells Fargo an operating statement and a weekly cash
flow report.

LOCAL INSIGHT: Wants to Obtain DIP Financing, Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Local Insight Media Holdings, Inc., et al., seek authority from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to obtain
postpetition secured financing from a syndicate of lenders led by
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative, and to use the cash
collateral.

The DIP lenders have committed to provide up to $25 million.  Up
to $7.5 million will be available upon entry of the interim court
order, with the remaining $17.5 million available upon entry of
the final court order.

A copy of the DIP financing agreement is available for free at:

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

Curtis A. Helm, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP,
explains that the Debtors need the money to fund their Chapter 11
case, pay suppliers and other parties.

The DIP facility will mature on November 18, 2011.

Each Eurodollar Loan will bear interest for each day during each
interest period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to
the Eurodollar Rate determined for the day plus the applicable
margin.  Each Base Rate Loan will bear interest for each day on
which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate in effect for the day plus the applicable margin.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of
default, (i) the principal amount of each Loan or reimbursement
obligation will bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to
(x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be
applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
section plus 2% or (y) in the case of reimbursement obligations,
the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, and (ii) any
interest payable on any Loan or reimbursement obligation or any
commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any
other loan document will bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2% from the
date of the event of default until the amount is paid in full.

The Debtors have agreed to pay the DIP Agent:

    a. commitment fee for the period from and including the
       closing date to the last day of the commitment period,
       computed at the commitment fee rate on the average daily
       amount of the available commitment of the lender during
       the period for which payment is made, payable monthly in
       arrears on the last business day of each calendar month
       after December 31, 2010, and on the termination date,
       commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the
       date hereof;

    b. arrangement fee; and

    c. DIP Agent fee.

The DIP lien is subject to a $2 million carve-out for U.S. Trustee
and Clerk of Court fees; fees payable to professional employed in
the Debtors' case; and fees of the committee in pursuing actions
challenging the DIP Lenders' lien.

An amount equal to $500,000, which sum will be segregated from the
loan parties' cash on hand as of the Petition Date.  This lien
avoidance carve-out will be available only to the loan parties in
accordance with the provisions of the DIP Agreement, the interim
court order and the final court order and only to investigate and,
if necessary, prosecute an avoidance action to avoid one or more
prepetition liens securing the Prepetition Obligations.  The Lien
Avoidance Carve Out will be senior to all liens securing the DIP
Obligations, the adequate protection liens, all claims and any and
all other forms of adequate protection, liens or claims securing
the DIP Obligations and Prepetition Obligations granted or
recognized as valid, including the liens and security interests
granted to the Prepetition Secured Lenders.

                       Cash Collateral Use

Aside from the DIP financing, the Debtors intend to use the cash
that constitute as collateral of the prepetition lenders.

In April 2008, Local Insight Regatta Holdings, Inc., entered into
a certain credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent for the lenders parties thereto and as
collateral agent for the secured parties thereto.  The Prepetition
Credit Agreement provides for a $337 million senior secured term
loan facility, of which approximately $311 million is outstanding
as of the Petition Date, and a $30 million senior secured
revolving loan facility, of which approximately $26 million is
outstanding as of the Petition Date.

In exchange for the use of cash collateral, the Prepetition Agent
and the Prepetition Secured Lenders are entitled to adequate
protection of their interests in the Prepetition Collateral in an
amount equal to the aggregate diminution in value of the
Prepetition Collateral to the extent of their interests therein,
including without limitation, any diminution resulting from the
sale, lease or use by the Loan Parties of any Prepetition
Collateral.  As adequate protection, the Prepetition Agent and the
Prepetition Secured Lenders are granted (i) a valid, perfected
replacement security interest in and lien on all of the DIP
Collateral; and (ii) superpriority claims with priority in payment
over any and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified or
ordered pursuant to any provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The Prepetition Agent will also receive from the Debtors
reimbursement of all fees and expenses incurred or accrued,
whether prior to or after the Petition Date, by the Prepetition
Agent under the Prepetition Loan Documents.

The Debtors will promptly provide to the Prepetition Agent any
written financial information or periodic reporting that is
provided to, or required to be provided to, the DIP Agent or the
DIP Lenders.

Proceeds of any Prepetition Collateral will be turned over by the
Prepetition Agent to the DIP Agent until the Discharge of the DIP
Obligations has occurred.  Upon the Discharge of the DIP
Obligations, the DIP Agent will deliver to the Prepetition Agent
any proceeds of Prepetition Collateral held by it in the same form
as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

LOCAL INSIGHT: Chapter 11 Filing Cues Moody's 'D' Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Local Insight Regatta Holdings,
Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating to D from Ca following the
company's announcement that it filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on
November 17, 2010.  The rating outlook was changed from negative
to stable.  Moody's expects to withdraw all ratings for the
company over the near-term.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Local Insight Regatta Holdings, Inc.

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to D from Ca

Unchanged:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, unchanged Ca

  -- Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2014, unchanged
     Caa2, LGD2-28%

  -- Senior Secured Term Loan due 2015, unchanged Caa2, LGD2, 28%

  -- Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, unchanged C, LGD5, 83%

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Local Insight Regatta Holdings, Inc.

  -- Outlook, changed to Stable from Negative

                        Ratings Rationale

The downgrade of the PDR to D reflects the company's bankruptcy
filing, which Moody's classifies as a "default" event, consistent
with the "D" Probability of Default rating.  The Ca Corporate
Family Rating and ratings for individual debt instruments were
based on the application of Moody's Loss Given Default framework
utilizing an expected 50% family recovery rate, had previously
been revised to assumed expected loss levels in an expected event
of default scenario, and hence remain unchanged.

Moody's last rating action on Local Insight Regatta occurred on
September 16, 2010 when it downgraded the CFR and PDR, each to Ca,
along with associated instrument rating downgrades.

Local Insight Regatta's ratings were assigned by evaluating
factors Moody's believe are relevant to the credit profile of the
issuer, such as i) the business risk and competitive position of
the company versus others within its industry, ii) the capital
structure and financial risk of the company, iii) the projected
performance of the company over the near to intermediate term, and
iv) management's track record and tolerance for risk.  These
attributes were compared against other issuers both within and
outside of Local Insight Regatta's core industry and Local Insight
Regatta's ratings are believed to be comparable to those of other
issuers of similar credit risk.

Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, Local Insight Regatta
Holdings, Inc., is a leading provider of local search advertising
products and services, targeting small and medium-sized
businesses, with a range of lead-generating solutions that enable
consumers to find products and services they need.  The company's
integrated suite of local advertising solutions includes print
Yellow Pages as well as a range of digital advertising products
and services designed to establish, maintain and optimize an
advertiser's online presence.  For the 12 months ended June 30,
2010, the company reported revenues of approximately $554 million.
The company is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Local
Insight Media Holdings, Inc., whose primary owner is Welsh,
Carson, Anderson & Stowe.


LOCAL INSIGHT: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'D'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Local Insight Regatta Holdings Inc. to 'D' from 'CCC-'.
S&P also lowered all of its issue-level ratings on the company to
'D'.  All of S&P's outstanding recovery ratings remain unchanged.

The ratings downgrade follows Local Insight's announcement that it
and certain of its domestic affiliates have filed for voluntary
petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in the District of Delaware.


MACHINERY MAINTENANCE: William Babut Directed to Return Retainer
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Walter Shapero directs Nathaniel H. Herdt, Esq., at
William C. Babut, P.C., the Chapter 11 bankruptcy counsel of
Machinery Maintenance Specialists, Inc., to turn over a $4,461
retainer.  The U.S. Trustee filed the Motion, arguing that Babut
had never been properly appointed as counsel for the Debtor.

Machinery Maintenance Specialists filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No. 09-42060) on January 28,
2009.  An order converting the case to Chapter 7 was entered on
June 3, 2009.

On October 26, 2010, Babut tardily filed a Motion for Approval of
Employment of Counsel for Debtor Nunc Pro Tunc Due to
Extraordinary Circumstances.  That Motion noted that the principal
of the Debtor, Arnold Primak, had passed away "in the months after
the Chapter 11 Petition was filed" and that Babut had prepared an
employment application but it was not signed by Mr. Primak prior
to his passing away.

"Counsel had the sole responsibility to timely prepare and file
the application; the record does not indicate any time pressures
of the relevant type; the delay was long and neither explainable
nor excusable; and compensation, if awarded, would clearly
prejudice the unsecured creditors in this Chapter 7 case," Judge
Shapero rules.

for the same period of 2009.

total assets, $8.62 million in total liabilities, $9.86 million in
Redeemable Preferred Stock-A, $10.00 million in Redeemable
Preferred Stock-B, and a stockholders' deficit of $1.70 million.

Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC, in Salt Lake City, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, following the Company's 2009 results.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has cash flow
constraints, an accumulated deficit, and has suffered recurring
losses from operations.

MEXICANA AIRLINES: Mexico Judge Accepts Units' Bankruptcy Filing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Adriana Lopez Caraveo and Jonathan J. Levin at Bloomberg News
report that a Mexico judge accepted the bankruptcy filing for
MexicanaClick and MexicanaLink.

MexicanaClick and MexicanaLink are the low-fare subsidiaries of
Grupo Mexicana de Aviacion SA.

According to Bloomberg, the company disclosed the judge's ruling

largest airline, filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. and Mexico on
August 2, 2010.  In the U.S., the company filed in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection
(case no. 10-14182), and in Mexico, it filed for the equivalent of
Chapter 11.

Maru E. Johansen, foreign representative of Compania Mexicana,
estimated in the Chapter 15 petition that the company has assets
of US$500 million to US$1 billion and debts of more than US$1
billion.  William C. Heuer, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, serves as
counsel to Ms. Johansen.

family's residence located at 2904 West Wisconsin Avenue,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Mr. Gibson's residence was constructed in
1919.  Plaintiff is unable to identify the specific manufacturer,

2010, is available at http://is.gd/hzWmOfrom Leagle.com.


MMI GENOMICS: Files for Chapter 11 in Delaware
----------------------------------------------
MMI Genomics Inc. filed a Chapter 11 petition with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware, just a few months after
its parent sought bankruptcy protection.

Dow Jones' Small Cap reports that parent company MetaMorphix Inc.
agreed to enter Chapter 11 in September, Adam Hiller, the
bankruptcy attorney for both companies.  The report relates
creditors claiming to be owed $1.7 million under promissory notes
issued in January initially tried to push MetaMorphix into Chapter
7.

If successful, the report notes, a trustee would have been
appointed to liquidate the company's assets and distribute the
proceeds to the creditors.  MetaMorphix acknowledged in court
papers filed in March that it wasn't paying all of its obligations
to the petitioning noteholders as such debts became due, the
report notes.

NEDAK ETHANOL: Posts $2.1 Million in September 30 Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------
NEDAK Ethanol, LLC, filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $2.1 million on $24.4 million of revenue
for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $3.0 million on $20.3 million of revenue for the same
period last year.

The Company's senior credit facility with AgCountry Farm Credit
Services, FLCA for a multiple advance construction loan totaling
$42.5 million requires the Company to maintain certain financial
covenants, including minimum working capital of $6,000,000,
minimum current ratio of 1.20:1.00, minimum tangible net worth of
$41,000,000, minimum owners' equity ratio of 50%, and a minimum
fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00, and also includes
restrictions on distributions and capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company was not in compliance with
the working capital covenants, the current ratio requirement, the
tangible net worth requirement and the fixed charge coverage
ratio.

The senior credit facility provides that the construction loan is
to be converted at final acceptance to a permanent ten year term
loan of $32,500,000 and a $10,000,000 revolving term loan.  The
Company is in negotiations with the Lender to convert the loan to
long term financing.  The loan is secured by substantially all the
Company's assets.

The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, showed
$86.7 million in assets, $54.7 million in total liabilities, and
members' equity of $32.0 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 14, 2010,
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, following the Company's 2009 results.  The
independent auditors noted that there is uncertainty as to the
Company's ability to secure additional funds needed to fund
ongoing operations.

NORTEL NETWORKS: Accuses Genband for Cutting Offer to $143 Million
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Nortel Networks Corp. has accused
Genband Inc. of drastically and improperly reducing its offer to
purchase the Company's Voice over Internet Protocol and
application solutions unit to $142.9 million.

                     About Nortel Networks

Mississauga, Ontario-based Nortel Networks Corporation (OTC BB:
NRTLQ) -- http://www.nortel.com/-- was, prior to its significant
business divestitures, a global supplier of end-to-end networking
products and solutions serving both service providers and
enterprise customers.  Nortel is currently focused on the
remaining work under the Creditor Protection Proceedings,
including the sale of the remaining businesses, providing
transitional services to the purchasers of Nortel's businesses and
ongoing restructuring matters.

Nortel Networks Limited ("NNL") is Nortel's principal direct
operating subsidiary and its results are consolidated into
Nortel's results.  Nortel holds all of NNL's outstanding common
shares but none of its outstanding preferred shares.  NNL's
preferred shares are reported in noncontrolling interests in the
condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel, NNL and certain other Canadian
subsidiaries obtained an initial order from the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice ("Canadian Court") for credit protection for 30
days, pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, which
has since been extended to February 28, 2011, and is subject to
further extension by the Canadian Court.  Pursuant to the Initial
Order, the Canadian Debtors received approval to continue to
undertake various actions in the normal course in order to
maintain stable and continuing operations during the CCAA
Proceedings.  The CCAA Proceedings have been recognized by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware as "foreign
proceedings" pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, giving effect in the U.S. to the stay granted by
the Canadian Court.  A cross-border court-to-court protocol (as
amended) has also been approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and
the Canadian Court.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Inc. ("NNI"), Nortel Networks
Capital Corporation ("NNCC") and certain other of Nortel's U.S.
subsidiaries ("U.S. Debtors"), other than Nortel Networks (CALA)
Inc. ("NNCI"), filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (Lead Case No.
09-10138).  On July 14, 2009, NNCI, a U.S. based subsidiary that
operates in the CALA region, also filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Court and thereby became one
of the U.S. Debtors subject to the Chapter 11 Proceedings,
although the petition date for NNCI is July 14, 2009.  On July 17,
2009, the U.S. Court entered an order of joint administration that
provided for the joint administration, for procedural purposes
only, of NNCI's case with the pre-existing cases of the other U.S.
Debtors.

Also on the Petition Date, certain of Nortel's Europe, the Middle
East and Africa ("EMEA") subsidiaries ("EMEA Debtors") made
consequential filings and each obtained an administration order
from the High Court of England and Wales ("English Court") under
the Insolvency Act 1986 ("U.K. Administration Proceedings").  The
U.K. Administration Proceedings currently extend to January 13,
2012, subject to further extension.  All of Nortel's operating
EMEA subsidiaries except those in the following countries are
included in the U.K. Administration Proceedings: Nigeria, Russia,
Ukraine, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa and Turkey.

The U.K. Administration Proceedings have been recognized by the
U.S. Court as "foreign main proceedings" pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, giving
effect in the U.S. to the moratorium provided by the Insolvency
Act 1986.

Certain of Nortel's Israeli subsidiaries ("Israeli Debtors")
commenced separate creditor protection proceedings in Israel
("Israeli Administration Proceedings").  On January 19, 2009, an
Israeli court appointed administrators over the Israeli Debtors.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of the U.K. Administrators of
NNSA, the Commercial Court of Versailles, France ("French Court")
ordered the commencement of secondary proceedings in respect of
Nortel Networks S.A. ("NNSA") ("French Secondary Proceedings").
The French Secondary Proceedings consist of liquidation
proceedings during which NNSA is no longer authorized to continue
its business operations.

The CCAA Proceedings, the Chapter 11 Proceedings, the U.K.
Administration Proceeding, the Israeli Administration Proceedings
and the French Secondary Proceedings are together referred to as
the "Creditor Protection Proceedings".


NV ENERGY: Fitch Assigns 'BB' Rating on $315 Mil. Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB' rating to NV Energy, Inc.'s
pending $315 million issuance of senior unsecured notes.  The
Rating Outlook is Stable.

The 6.25%, 10-year notes will rank pari passu with NVE's other
unsecured debt and will mature Nov. 15, 2020.  Proceeds from the
issuance will be used to redeem all of NVE'S outstanding 7.803%
and 8.625% senior unsecured notes due 2012 and 2014, respectively.
The issuance is expected to close Nov. 22, 2010.  As a result of
the significantly lower interest rate, the issuance will be
noticeably accretive to interest coverage ratios.

The ratings and Stable Rating Outlook reflect the relatively
predictable earnings and cash flow characteristics of NVE's core
utility operating companies, Nevada Power Company d/b/a NV Energy
and Sierra Pacific Power Company d/b/a NV Energy.

Key rating factors include these concerns:

  -- High debt leverage and relatively weak financial metrics;
  -- Tough economic conditions in Nevada.

These concerns are somewhat offset by these strengths:

  -- The near-completion of a multi-year plan to significantly
     increase the utilities' company-owned generation;

  -- A balanced regulatory environment in Nevada.

NVE's ratings remain constrained by its relatively weak financial
metrics.  For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010, NVE's funds from
operations to debt percentage was just over 11%, and its EBITDA
interest coverage ratio was 2.7 times.  However, these figures are
improvements over the 2009 year-end metrics, and Fitch expects
NVE's high debt leverage to moderate over the next three years,
which should improve its financial profile.  NVE should benefit
from the utilities' expected recovery in rates of recently
completed projects and a reduced growth capital spending budget
that is limited to the completion of the Harry Allen Generating
Station and other smaller projects.  Fitch would consider
upgrading NVE's ratings if the utility's FFO to debt percentage
and EBITDA interest coverage ratio improve to 15% and 3.5x,
respectively.

Recent financial performance reflects the tough economic
conditions in Nevada, a state particularly hard hit by the
collapse of the housing market and broader recession, which has
masked the benefits of the utilities' recently completed
infrastructure investments.  The unemployment rate in Nevada has
steadily increased during the recession and was at 14.4% as of
August 2010.  In addition, residential customer growth at both
utilities is flat.  The local economy is of concern to Fitch,
because continued economic malaise in Nevada over a prolonged
period would dampen the uplift in cash flows expected from the
slowdown in capital spending.

A central element of NVE's operating strategy during the past
several years has been to reduce the utilities' dependence on
purchased power through the acquisition or construction of
company-owned generation.  The company has been successful in
implementing this strategy, with the utilities having added more
than 3,250 MW of company-owned generating capacity since 2004.

SPPC's internal generating capacity became nearly sufficient to
meet its peak load requirements following the completion of the
Tracy Generating Station in 2008.  The Tracy combined cycle plant
added 541 megawatts of nominal rated generation and greatly
improved the efficiency and reliability of SPPC's generating
fleet.  However, SPPC is expected to continue to purchase a
significant portion of its power through existing long-term supply
contracts, renewable energy supply contracts to satisfy mandates
under Nevada's renewable energy portfolio standard, and future
spot market purchases to take advantage of lower-cost
hydroelectric or coal-generated power.

Fitch also considers NPC's significant increase in company-owned
generation to be good for credit quality.  The utility's operating
characteristics have been enhanced and set the stage for improved
financial performance in future years.  NPC's generating fleet is
much more efficient now than it was in 2004, the company-owned
generation is a more reliable source of power, and NPC is better
able to directly control the cost of the power produced.  NPC was
capable of generating about 72% of its peak power need in 2009, up
from just 35% in 2004.  This figure should increase to about 80%
with the completion of the 500 MW combined cycle plant at Harry
Allen, expected to be operational in summer 2011.  NPC will remain
reliant on purchased power for a portion of its energy needs,
though, including RPS-related renewable energy contracts.

Although the utilities do generate some of their power from
existing coal plants and a small but growing amount from
renewables, their newer base load generation facilities are all
powered by natural gas.  This increased fuel source concentration
exposes NPC and SPPC to natural gas prices that have historically
been extremely volatile.  This concern is largely mitigated by
fuel and purchased power cost pass-through mechanisms allowed by
the Public Utility Commission of Nevada that help provide some
stability to cash flows.  The base tariff energy rate adjusts
rates on a quarterly basis to reflect fuel and purchased power
costs.  The deferred energy accounting adjustment then provides
recovery for (or refunding of) fuel and purchased power deferred
energy balances on an annual basis.  Fitch's internal forward
price forecasts for natural gas also support a more stable pricing
structure over the next few years.

The PUCN pre-approves planned construction costs for recovery in
future general rate cases and has mitigated regulatory lag by
permitting use of a hybrid test year methodology.  The build-up of
company-owned generation in recent years has resulted in high debt
levels, particularly at NPC, which prolonged the improvement of
the entities' weak financial metrics.  Based on Fitch's
projections, cash flows and leverage are expected to benefit from
the near-completion of the utilities' generation projects and
likely recovery of costs in upcoming rate cases, with SPPC
awaiting a PUCN decision in December (rates would be effective
Jan. 1, 2011) in the GRC it filed this past summer and NPC filing
a GRC in summer 2011.

Consolidated capital expenditures peaked in 2008 at more than
$1.5 billion, and then decreased to about $820 million in 2009 and
an expected $570 million in 2010.  Fitch expects the utilities to
maintain a more manageable capital spending budget going forward,
spending roughly $540 million in 2011 and $570 million in 2012.
In 2011 and 2012, roughly $200 million and $150 million,
respectively, of expected capital expenditures are related to the
Advanced Service Delivery smart grid project, the ON Line
transmission project, and several renewable energy projects.

ON Line, which would be a 500 kilovolt transmission line jointly
owned with Great Basin Transmission, LLC (not rated by Fitch),
would connect SPPC in the north with NPC in the south.  Fitch
considers this jointly owned project favorable because it would be
a cost-effective way to create energy-sharing efficiencies between
NPC and SPPC and provide NPC with access to renewable energy
resources in parts of northern and eastern Nevada, which would
help NPC meet the RPS mandates.  The total project is expected to
cost $500 million, with NVE's share totaling $125 million (95%
allocated to NPC and 5% to SPPC).

Fitch considers the utilities' liquidity position to be adequate
to meet near-term needs, with both utilities having sufficient
availability under three-year revolving credit facilities that
expire in 2013.  NPC has a $600 million facility and SPPC has a
$250 million facility.  Availability under each facility is
reduced by negative mark-to-market exposure of hedging
obligations, but availability will remain at least $300 million at
NPC and $125 million at SPPC.  Hedging obligations are not large
and are expected to continue to decline as a result of the
utilities' suspension of their hedging programs in October 2009.
As of Aug. 31, 2010, negative mark-to-market exposure reduced
availability by $51.8 million at NPC and $22.5 million at SPPC.

NVE is a holding company and parent to vertically integrated,
regulated utilities NPC and SPPC, which collectively do business
as NV Energy.  NPC serves approximately 827,000 electric customers
in southern Nevada, including the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
SPPC serves approximately 367,000 electric and 151,000 natural gas
customers in northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe region in
California.

Fitch currently rates NVE, NPC, and SPPC:

NVE

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating 'BB';
  -- Senior unsecured debt 'BB'.

NPC

  -- Long-term IDR 'BB+';
  -- Senior secured debt 'BBB';
  -- Senior unsecured debt 'BB+'.

SPPC

  -- Long-term IDR 'BB+';
  -- Senior secured debt 'BBB'.

NVE's ratings are one notch below those of NPC and SPPC as a
result of structural subordination to the cash flows of the
utilities.


OLD TOWN: In Chapter 11 to Keep Hotel Open
------------------------------------------
Daniel J. Sernovitz at Baltimore Business Journal reports that Old
Town Properties LLC filed to Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to
keep Holiday Inn Express open as it resolves a dispute with the
project's contractors.

According to the journal, the Company said it owes about $720,000
in debts  tied to its conversion of the former Old Town National
Bank building at 221 N. Gay St. into a 68-room hotel.  The
Company's top creditors are:

   * Mine Branch, Towson, $113,091;
   * Allen Walpert & Sons, Baltimore, $98,524;
   * Final Touch, Bel Air, $72,408;
   * Air Zone; Westminster; $63,000;
   * Butler Apex, Towson, $55,103; and
   * Chesapeake Steel, Bel Air; $50,901.

Mr. Sernovitz relates Robert W. Taylor Jr., one of the lawyers
representing Old Town, said he expects Old Town and its managing
partner will be able to present a restructuring plan by January.

Old Town Properties, LLC owns and operates a hotel.  The Company
was incorporated in 2005 and is based in Baltimore, Maryland. On
August 11, 2010, an involuntary petition for liquidation under
Chapter 7 was filed against Old Town Properties, LLC in the US
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland.


MILLENNIUM SOUTHEAST: Goes Into Receivership in Vancouver
---------------------------------------------------------
The Canadian Press reports that Olympic Village in Vancouver has
been put into receivership.

According to the Canadian Press, the City of Vancouver announced
Wednesday that it has negotiated an agreement with the accounting
firm Ernst and Young to assume control of the Millennium Southeast
False Creek Properties and the Millennium Water development, as
the Olympic Village condominium project is now called.

The report notes that following the 2010 Winter Games, units in
the eight-block, 25-building village were to be turned into a
combination of free-market condos and social housing.  But sales
never really picked up and in September, Millennium came up short
on its loan payment and then said it didn't expect to finish
selling the more than 400 remaining units for another 2 1/2 years,
the report relates.

Even before the Games, the report says, the developer's original
lender stopped paying its loan, forcing the city to step in and
secure hundreds of millions of dollars to finish the project in
time.

Millennium is scheduled to come up with another $75 million by
January, but it is not clear now whether that payment must be made
in light of the announcement, the report adds.

Olympic Village is an accommodation centre built for an Olympic
Games, usually within an Olympic Park or elsewhere in a host city.
Olympic Villages are built to house all participating athletes, as
well as officials, athletic trainers, and other staff.

RAIN CII: Fitch Withdraws 'B' Long-Term Issuer Default Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has withdrawn all of US-based Rain CII Carbon LLC's
(RCC US) ratings, including its 'B' Long-term foreign currency
Issuer Default Rating.

Fitch will no longer provide analytical or ratings coverage of
this entity.

The company is undergoing a corporate restructuring exercise,
whereby it will no longer be a subsidiary of Rain CII Carbon
(India) Ltd ('B'/Rating Watch Negative).

Following the restructuring, both RCC US and RCCIL will be held by
a common US-based holding company, have limited legal linkages,
and with limited cash flow fungibility between the two entities.
With the weakening of linkages between the two entities, Fitch's
rating approach will move to that of a standalone analysis, in
line with Fitch's criteria on rating entities within a corporate
group structure.

RCC US also plans to refinance its senior secured facilities and
unsecured bond through the issuance of a fresh bond expected to be
launched in November 2010.  Fitch does not have sufficient
information to take a rating action at the time of withdrawal.  It
also does not expect to receive the information necessary to
maintain the company's ratings in future.

RCC US's ratings have been withdrawn,:

  -- 'B' Long-term foreign currency IDR with a Stable outlook;

  -- 'B+/RR3' senior secured loan (Tranche A) of US$105 million;

  -- 'B+/RR3' senior secured loan (Tranche B) of US$75 million;

  -- 'B+/RR3' senior secured revolver (Tranche C) of
     US$45 million; and

  -- 'B-/RR5' senior subordinated unsecured bond of
     US$235 million.


REFCO INC: Grant Thornton, Officers Settle Lawsuit for $25.3MM
--------------------------------------------------------------
Grant Thornton LLP, former outside auditor of Refco Inc., has
reached an agreement to settle for $25,000,000 a consolidated
securities class action initiated by Lead Plaintiffs RH Capital
Associates LLC and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC
alleging fraud at Refco Inc.

In addition, the Lead Plaintiffs have also reached an agreement to
settle the Action against three former officers of Refco
-- Joseph J. Murphy, Dennis A. Klejna, and William M. Sexton -- in
exchange for cash payments totaling $300,000.

The $300,000 Settlement Amount is in addition to the Class'
recovery of approximately 30% of the sums the Settling Officer
Defendants previously agreed to forfeit to the federal government.

Prior to the negotiation of the Officers Settlement, each of the
Settling Officer Defendants had forfeited substantial assets to
the United States government pursuant to settlements entered into
with the U.S. Attorney's office.  Specifically, Mr. Murphy agreed
to forfeit $5,000,000; Mr. Sexton agreed to forfeit $2,050,000;
and Mr. Klejna agreed to forfeit $1,250,000.  As a result of the
Lead Plaintiffs' filing of a petition seeking remission of these
and other forfeited funds to the class in the Action, the U.S.
Attorney's office agreed to transfer 30% of the forfeited funds to
an escrow account for the benefit of the class.

The Grant Thornton Settlement was reached on October 18, 2010.
The Officers Settlement was reached on September 30, 2010.

According to the Lead Plaintiffs, the Settlements were reached at
a time when the parties had a thorough understanding of the
strengths and weaknesses of each of their positions and only after
intense, arm's-length negotiations.  The Lead Plaintiffs believe
that the Settlement provides substantial monetary benefits to the
Settlement Class which compare favorably to the risks that
protracted and contested litigation, including dispositive motion
practice, trial and likely appeals, might lead to no recovery, or
a small recovery against these defendants.

At this time, the Lead Plaintiffs seek that the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York grant preliminary
approval of the Grant Thornton Settlement and the Officers
Settlement so that notice may be provided to the Settlement Class.

The Class Action is In re Refco, Inc. Securities Litigation, 05-
Civ.-8626, originally commenced in 2005 and currently pending in
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
under Judge Jed S. Rakoff.

The Class Action is filed on behalf of persons and entities who
purchased or otherwise acquired Refco Notes and/or Refco Stock
during the period July 1, 2004 through and including October 17,
2005.

The class suit arose from the collapse of Refco, following a
revelation that the Company had for years secreted hundreds of
millions of dollars of uncollectible receivables with a related
entity controlled by Phillip Bennett, the Company's former
chairman and chief executive officer.  Upon its collapse, the
Company filed for bankruptcy in October 2005.

Law firms Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. and Bernstein Litowitz Berger &
Grossman LLP serve as co-lead counsel to the Class.

The Grant Thorn Settlement and the Officers Settlement resolve the
Refco securities litigation case against all remaining defendants.
In October 2010, after the completion of fact and expert
discovery, Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel decided
to voluntarily dismiss the claims asserted in the Action on behalf
of these defendants -- the Dismissed Defendants:

  -- Phillip R. Bennett
  -- Santo C. Maggio
  -- Tone N. Grant
  -- Robert Trosten
  -- Gerald M. Sherer
  -- Philip Silverman
  -- Refco Group Holdings, Inc.
  -- The Phillip R. Bennett Three Year Annuity Trust

Four of the Dismissed Defendants have already forfeited
substantial sums to the federal government:

  -- Mr. Bennett forfeited over $92.7 million;
  -- Mr. Maggio forfeited approximately $14.4 million;
  -- Mr. Grant forfeited over $7.8 million; and
  -- Mr. Trosten forfeited over $6 million.

The Government has approved the distribution of 30% of the
Dismissed Defendants' forfeited assets to members of the class in
the Refco Securities Action, and Co-Lead Counsel understand that
those individuals do not have additional assets from which to pay
a meaningful judgment in the Action.

Two of the other Dismissed Defendants -- RGHI and the Bennett
Trust -- are mere instrumentalities of Mr. Bennett with no
separate assets; Dismissed Defendant Silverman appears to have no
meaningful assets; and Lead Plaintiffs have determined that the
culpability of Dismissed Defendant Sherer is insufficient to
warrant the expense of trial, according to the Co-Lead Counsel.

The dismissals of the Dismissed Defendants were effected by
stipulations filed on October 15, 2010, in accordance with Rule
41(a)(1)(11) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and were
without prejudice to the Class.  Judge Rakoff subsequently signed
approval of the Dismissal Stipulations on various dates between
October 18 to 20, 2010.

          District Court Approves Various Settlements

Judge Rakoff granted preliminary approval of the Grant Thornton
Settlement and the Officers Settlement in an amended order dated
November 12, 2010.  The District Court also preliminary certified
the Settlement Class as against Grant Thornton and the Settling
Officer Defendants for purposes of the Settlements, and allowed
notice to the Settlement Class Members of the two Settlements.

The District Court will hold a final fairness settlement hearing
on the Grant Thornton Settlement and the Officers Settlement on
March 11, 2011.

Moreover, in separate orders dated October 28 and 29, 2010, Judge
Rakoff entered final approval of:

  (1) a settlement reached between Lead Plaintiffs and the Audit
      Committee Defendants and the THL Defendants, which
      provides for a payment of $130 million for the benefit of
      the settlement class, plus a possible additional
      settlement payment of up to $10 million;

  (2) a settlement reached between Lead Plaintiffs and the
      Settling Underwriter Defendants, which provides for
      payment of $49.5 million for the benefit of the settlement
      class; and

  (3) a settlement reached between Lead Plaintiffs and Sandler
      O'Neill & Partners L.P., which provides for payment of
      $3.5 million for the benefit of the settlement class.

The Audit Committee Defendants are Ronald L. O'Kelley, Leo R.
Breitman and Nathan Gantcher.

The THL Defendants are Thomas H. Lee Equity Fund V, L.P.; Thomas

REFCO INC: NY Appeals Court Limits Professionals' Fraud Liability
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The New York Court of Appeals declined to expand remedies
available to shareholders and creditors against professionals
working for companies whose management engaged in fraud by
expanding existing precedent relating to in pari delicto,
imputation and the adverse interest exception.

In a 4-3 decision dated Oct. 21, 2010, in Kirschner v. KPMG LLP,
et al., and Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana, ex rel. v.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, Nos. 151 and 152 (N.Y. App. Ct.), the
appellate tribunal ruled against Marc S. Kirschner, the trustee of
the Refco Litigation Trust pursuing third-party claims against
auditors, investment banks, lawyers and other professionals in
connection with the collapse of Refco, Inc., and against Teachers'
Retirement System of Louisiana and City of New Orleans Employees'
Retirement System in its derivative action on behalf of American
International Group, Inc., accusing PwC of audit malpractice.

A copy of the Court's slip opinion is available at:

                http://is.gd/gh9Jcfrom Leagle.com

The three dissenting judges expressed their concern that the
majority opinion effectively precludes litigation by derivative
corporate plaintiffs or litigation trustees to recover against
negligent or complicit outside actors -- even where the outside
actor, hired to perform essential gatekeeping and monitoring
functions, actively colludes with corrupt corporate insiders.  In
the dissenters' view, the agency law principles upon which the
majority rests its conclusions ignore complex assumptions and
public policy that compel different conclusions than those reached
by the majority.

REFCO INC: 2nd Cir. Court Bars Trustee from Suing Advisers
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld a lower
court ruling that bars the liquidation trustee in Refco Inc. from
suing third party entities who allegedly assisted corporate
insiders in defrauding the corporation's creditors.

In May 2009, Judge Gerard E. Lynch of the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York dismissed a suit brought by Marc
S. Kirschner, as trustee of the Refco litigation trust, that
alleged misconduct by corporate insiders and advisers.  The
District Court rules that the Refco Trustee lacked standing
because the insiders' misconduct was imputed to the corporation.

The Trustee brought the suit on behalf of Refco Group Ltd., LLC,
Refco Capital Markets, Ltd., and Refco Inc. against Refco' senior
management, law firms, and accounting firms that allegedly
participated in defrauding Refco creditors.

The third parties sued by the Refco Trustee include KPMG LLP,
Grant Thornton LLP, Mayer Brown LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
Banc of America Securities LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC
and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

The Refco Trustee subsequently appealed the May 2009 ruling to the
Second Circuit, contending that the "adverse interest" exception
precludes imputation.

Imputation is a legal doctrine that assigns liability for
malfeasance to a corporation and its direct agents under the
principle that corporate officials are aware of and responsible
for the actions of their third party agents, except in the narrow
circumstance of the "adverse interest" exception where a third
party is found to have been acting solely for his or her own
interest.  However, that exception is not triggered simply because
a third party agent has a conflict of interest or because he or
she was not acting primarily for the principal.

The 2nd Circuit sought certification from the New York Court of
Appeals on the "adverse interest" exception.

Upon receipt of the New York Court of Appeals' opinion in
Kirschner v. KPMG LLP, Nos. 151, 152, 2010 WL 4116609 (N.Y. Ct.
App. Oct. 21, 2010), the 2nd Circuit adopted the opinion of the
District Court.

In an 11-page opinion entered on November 18, 2010, the 2nd
Circuit concluded that the District Court correctly rejected the
Refco Trustee's arguments on the matter.

RIVER ROAD: Lenders File Competing Exit Plan for Hotel
------------------------------------------------------
After months of clashing with the owner of the InterContinental
Hotel Chicago O'Hare, lenders have filed a competing plan
outlining their strategy for wrapping up the company's bankruptcy
case, Dow Jones' Small Cap reports.

According to the report, Amalgamated Bank and U.S. Bank introduced
a Chapter 11 liquidation proposal in the case of River Road Hotel
Partners LLC -- the owner of the airport hotel -- which would hand
the deed to the property over to the lenders.

The report relates that the Plan reserves a $600,000 pot for
unsecured creditors, according to attorney Adam Lewis, and allows
holders of senior mechanics liens to retain their rights in the
hotel, while leaving a brewing dispute over which mechanics-lien
claims are senior and which are junior to be resolved in state
court.  Lewis, a Morrison Foerster LLP attorney representing
Amalgamated Bank, said that those mechanics lien claims found to
be junior would end up in the unsecured pool, the report adds.

                   About River Road Hotel Partners

River Road Hotel Partners, LLC, developed and manage the
InterContinental Hotel Chicago O'Hare located in Rosemont,
Illinois.  Affiliate RadLAX Gateway Hotel LLC owns the Radisson
hotel at Los Angeles International Airport.  Both are ultimately
controlled owned by Harp Group.

River Road and its affiliates filed Chapter 11 in Chicago on
August 17, 2009 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Lead Case No. 09-30029).  Based
in Oak Brook, Illinois, River Road estimated assets of as much as
$100 million and debt of as much as $500 million in its Chapter 11
petition.

RadLAX and its affiliates filed a separate chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No 09-30047), estimating assets at
$50 million to $100 million.

David M. Neff, Esq., at Perkins Coie LLP, serves as counsel to the
River Road and RadLAX debtors.  The two cases, however, are not
jointly administered.


ROBERT CARDALI: Sibling Can Proceed With Arbitration
----------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Sean H. Lane lifts the automatic stay in the bankruptcy
case of Robert A. Cardali to permit his sibling, Joanne Gentile,
to proceed with mandatory arbitration.

The siblings worked together as attorneys in a law firm known as
Cardali & Cardali, P.C.  Prior to 2003, the Debtor and Ms. Gentile
each owned a 50% interest in C&C.  By 2003, the relationship
between the Debtor and Ms. Gentile had deteriorated.  In the
spring of 2003, the Debtor commenced a special proceeding in the
Supreme Court of New York County seeking judicial dissolution of
C&C as well as certain other injunctive relief.  Thereafter, the
Debtor and Ms. Gentile engaged in mediation to resolve the issues
between them.  The mediation ultimately resulted in a Confidential
Referral Fee And Asset Purchase Agreement, dated May 9, 2003.
Pursuant to the APA, the Debtor agreed to transfer certain monies,
including a referral fee for pending cases, to Ms. Gentile in
connection with the Debtor's acquisition of C&C's business.

Ms. Gentile argues that the arbitration clause in the APA is broad
and, therefore, that the bankruptcy automatic stay should be
lifted to permit the pending Arbitration to proceed.  The Debtor
contends that the counts in his Complaint are non-arbitrable core
proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code and that Ms. Gentile has
consented to proceeding in the bankruptcy court -- rather than
arbitration -- by, among other things, filing a proof of claim.

Given the strong federal policy favoring arbitration agreements,
Judge Lane says the Motion to compel the Arbitration is granted
and the Complaint is stayed in its entirety.

A copy of Judge Lane's memorandum decision dated November 18,
2010, is available at http://is.gd/hzYY9from Leagle.com.

Ms. Gentile is represented in the case by:

S & Y ENTERPRISES: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for Dec. 20
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 2 will convene a meeting of S & Y
Enterprises, LLC's creditors on December 20, 2010, at 2:00 p.m.
The meeting will be held at the Office of the United States
Trustee, 271 Cadman Plaza East - Room 4529, Brooklyn, NY 11201.

This is the first meeting of creditors required under Section
341(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in all bankruptcy cases.

All creditors are invited, but not required, to attend.  This
Meeting of Creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy
proceeding for creditors to question a responsible office of the
Debtor under oath about the company's financial affairs and
operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

Brooklyn, New York-based S & Y Enterprises, LLC, filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection on November 11, 2010 (Bankr. E.D. N.Y.
Case No. 10-50623).  David Carlebach, Esq., who has an office in
New York, assists the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  The
Debtor estimated its assets at $10 million to $50 million and
debts at $1 million to $10 million.


SABRA HEALTH: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Ratings at 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit ratings to Sabra Health Care REIT Inc., its operating
partnership, Sabra Health Care L.P., and Sabra Capital Corp.
Additionally, S&P assigned its 'B' rating and '3' recovery
rating to Sabra's $225 million senior unsecured notes.  S&P
previously had issued preliminary ratings to reflect the pending
restructuring of Sun Healthcare Inc.'s business.  The '3' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectations for a meaningful (50%-70%)
recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment default.  The
outlook is stable.

On Nov. 15, 2010, Sun Healthcare Inc. (B/Stable/--) completed the
restructuring of its business by separating its real estate assets
and operating assets into two publicly traded companies.  Sabra
now owns most of the real estate assets formerly owned by Sun, and
Sun is the lessor of these assets and will continue to operate the
assets under long-term leases.  Sabra will elect to be treated as
a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, with the taxable year beginning Jan. 1, 2011.

"S&P's 'B' rating on Sabra reflects the company's comparatively
small health care portfolio relative to peers, significant tenant
concentration, and modest room under its debt covenants," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst George Skoufis.  "Sabra will be a
newly formed entity with no historical track record operating as a
public company.  These factors offset Sabra's geographic
diversity, long-term leases, and lack of debt maturities until
2013.  S&P views the company's business risk profile as weak and
the financial risk profile as aggressive."

S&P expects cash flow to be stable based on the sound rent
coverage and long-term nature of the leases, which should support
current debt protection measures.  S&P also assumes that Sabra
will pursue and fund growth in a leverage-neutral manner.  S&P
would lower its ratings on Sabra if the company were to
aggressively pursue acquisitions, such that its derived FCC for
the company declines from current levels or covenant pressures
arise.  While S&P views an upgrade as unlikely in the near term,
S&P would consider raising the rating if Sabra can execute on its
acquisition and diversification strategy while also building its
covenant cushion and achieving an adequate liquidity profile.

SEARS HOLDINGS: S&P Gives Negative Outlook; Affirms 'BB-' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
Sears Holdings Corp. to negative from stable.  S&P also affirmed
all the ratings on the company, including the 'BB-' corporate
credit rating.

"The ratings on Sears reflect its expectations that sales will
remain under pressure because of intense competition and weak
consumer demand in the fragile economic recovery for high-ticket
items such as appliances," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Ana Lai.  Although Sears has maintained lean inventory levels and
continues to control costs, continued negative sales pressure
could result in lower-than-expected operating results in the
important fourth quarter.  S&P's rating also reflects its
expectation that following the issuance of the second-lien notes,
borrowing needs under the revolving credit facility will be
significantly reduced relative to historic levels, and Sears will
repay $425 million in debt maturities in 2011.


SERVICEMASTER CO: S&P Raises Ratings on Senior Notes to 'B-'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its recovery rating on
The ServiceMaster Co.'s nonguaranteed senior unsecured notes to
'5', indicating S&P's expectation for modest (10% to 30%) recovery
in the event of a payment default, from '6'.  S&P raised its
issue-level rating on this debt to 'B-' (one notch lower than the
'B' corporate credit rating on the company) from 'CCC+', in
accordance with its notching criteria for a '5' recovery rating.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its other ratings on ServiceMaster,
including the 'B' corporate credit rating.  The rating outlook is
stable.

The recovery rating revision and upgrade of the issue-level rating
on ServiceMaster's nonguaranteed senior unsecured notes reflects
S&P's opinion that these notes are effectively subordinated to the
senior unsecured toggle notes only to the extent of any value
realized by these toggle notes through their guarantees.  S&P's
recovery analysis concludes that, under its assumed default
scenario in which the senior secured debt does not realize a full
recovery on its claims through its collateral and guarantees, the
toggle notes' unsecured guarantees provide essentially no recovery
value.  The affirmation of the corporate credit rating reflects
S&P's expectation that despite lingering weak economic conditions,
SeviceMaster's credit measures will remain near current levels in
the near-to-intermediate term.

The 'B' corporate credit rating continues to reflect the company's
highly leveraged financial profile (following its July 2007
leveraged buyout by an investment group led by private equity
company Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Inc.), the sensitivity of a
majority of its businesses to weak economic conditions and reduced
consumer spending, and its exposure to unfavorable weather
conditions in two of its key business segments, but strong
liquidity.  ServiceMaster does benefit from its business positions
in its fragmented and competitive end markets, which have
historically translated into good cash flow generation from a
fairly diverse portfolio of services.  S&P characterizes
ServiceMaster's business risk profile as fair and its financial
risk profile as highly leveraged.

Although S&P believes ServiceMaster (as a provider of outsourced
lawn care, pest control, and cleaning services to residential and
commercial customers, and home warranty services to residential
customers primarily in the U.S.) holds solid market positions in
highly fragmented businesses, the company's businesses are
sensitive to prolonged periods of economic weakness.  Seasonality
and weather can also affect the results of the TruGreen and
Terminix businesses, which S&P estimate account for a significant
portion of ServiceMaster's revenues and earnings.  These
businesses' revenue streams also depend on annual contract
renewals.  While the company's geographically diverse U.S.
operations can temper weather trends in any one region of the
U.S., adverse conditions in several regions can hurt sales and
profits.  Weaker economic conditions can also affect revenues
because S&P believes customer expenditures for the types of
services ServiceMaster offers are considered largely
discretionary.


SKINNY NUTRITIONAL: Posts $2.19 Million Net Loss in Sept. 30 Qtr.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Skinny Nutritional Corp. filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
showing a net loss of $2,186,788 on $1,882,912 of revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net loss of
$1,530,007 on $1,543,799 of revenue for the same period a year
ago.

The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, showed
$2,163,677 in total assets, $4,341,282 in total current
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $2,177,605.

At September 30, 2010, the Company's cash was approximately
$60,000.  The Company has been substantially reliant on capital
raised from private placements of its securities, in addition to
its revolving line of credit from United Capital Funding, to fund
its operations.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010,
the Company raised an aggregate amount of $1,600,000 less $193,187
of offering costs, from the sale of securities to accredited
investors in private placements.

Based on its current levels of expenditures and its business plan,
the Company believes that its cash (including the proceeds
received from its recent private placement) at September 30, 2010,
will only be sufficient to fund its anticipated levels of
operations for a minimal period and that without raising
additional capital, the Company will be limited in its projected
growth.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 6, 2010,
Marcum LLP, in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., expressed substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern after
auditing the Company's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2009.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has incurred losses since inception and has not yet been
successful in establishing profitable operations.

SPANISH BROADCASTING: Moody's Lifts Corp. Family Rating to 'Caa1'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the corporate family and
probability of default ratings for Spanish Broadcasting System,
Inc., to Caa1 from Caa3 based on improved free cash flow prospects
due to better than anticipated cost cutting and the expiration of
an unprofitable interest rate swap agreement.  The better free
cash flow and the substantial balance sheet cash (approximately
$52 million as of September 30, 2010) enhance refinancing
prospects.  Nevertheless, the June 2012 maturity of the company's
term loan poses risk given the company's high leverage
(approximately 9.7 times debt-to-EBITDA as per Moody's standard
adjustments including the preferred stock as debt, but in the mid
7 times range excluding it) and weak growth prospects.

Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Upgraded to Caa1 from Caa3

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Upgraded to Caa1 from Caa3

  -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Upgraded to Caa1, LGD4,

  -- Preferred Stock Upgraded to Caa3, LGD6, 99% from C, LGD6, 99%

  -- Outlook, Changed To Stable From Negative

                        Ratings Rationale

Spanish Broadcasting's Caa1 corporate family rating incorporates
its weak capital structure, operational pressure in the still
cyclically weak economic climate, generally narrow growth
prospects (though Spanish language is the strongest growth
prospect) given the maturity and competitive pressures in the
radio industry, and the June 2012 maturity of its term loan
magnify this challenge.  Furthermore, the company's TV initiative
continues to drain its radio cash flow and pressure the
consolidated EBITDA margin, although cost reductions throughout
2008 and 2009 brought margins to the low 30% range, more in line
with peers.  However, the significant revenue declines in the June
and September 2010 quarters raise some concern that cost cuts have
damaged the programming and / or the company's ad sales
capability.  Geographic concentration and lack of scale also
constrain the rating.  Expectations for continued positive free
cash flow, along with Spanish Broadcasting's large market presence
and favorable growth rates for the Hispanic media market and
positive Hispanic demographic trends, support the rating.

The stable outlook incorporates Moody's expectations that Spanish
Broadcasting will continue to generate positive free cash flow and
will reduce leverage modestly from the current level of close to
10 times debt-to-EBITDA (including the preferred stock, in the mid
7 times excluding it).

The June 2012 maturity, high leverage and weak near-term growth
prospects limit upward ratings momentum.  However, Moody's could
consider a positive rating action with an extension of maturities,
revenue stability in the radio segment, and progress towards
profitability for the TV segment.

Continued radio revenue declines in excess of 5%, inability to
generate positive free cash flow, or lack of progress on
addressing refinancing needs by the end of 2011 could result in a
negative ratings action.

Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., headquartered in Coconut Grove,
Florida, owns and operates 21 radio stations targeting the
Hispanic audience.  The Company also owns and operates Mega TV, a
television operation with over-the-air, cable and satellite
distribution and affiliates throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Its revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010, was
approximately $140 million.


SPONGETECH DELIVERY: Reorganization Case Converted to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
approved the conversion of the Chapter 11 case of Spongetech
Delivery Systems Inc., to one under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Court.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on October 13, 2010,
Chapter 11 trustee Kenneth P. Silverman asked that the Debtor's
case be converted to Chapter 7, saying that there is "no
possibility" of rehabilitation in the wake of alleged criminal
securities violations by executives and the Section 363 sale of
the company's primary manufacturing unit.

New York-based Spongetech Delivery Systems Inc. distributes a line
of hydrophilic polyurethane and polyurethane sponge cleaning and
waxing products.  Spongetech filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection on July 9, 2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-13647).
The Company estimated assets at $10 million to $50 million and
debts at $1 million to $10 million.  An affiliate, Dicon
Technologies, LLC, filed a separate Chapter 11 petition on
June 24, 2010 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-41275).

The Hon. Stuart M. Bernstein in July 2010 authorized Tracy Hope
Davis, the Acting U.S. Trustee for Region 2, to appoint a
Chapter 11 trustee for Spongetech Delivery Systems, Inc.  The U.S.
Trustee sought permission from Judge Bernstein to appoint a
Chapter 11 trustee or, in the alternative, convert the Debtor's
Chapter 11 bankruptcy case to Chapter 7.

Edward Neiger, Esq., at Neiger, LLP, and M. David Graubard, Esq.,

efforts.


ST JOSEPH: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' Rating $244.5 MIL. Bonds
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed St. Joseph's Healthcare
System's Ba1 bond rating on outstanding debt of $244.5 million
issued by New Jersey Health Care Facilities Finance Authority (see
debt list at end of report).  The rating outlook remains positive.

Legal Security: The bonds are secured by gross revenue pledge and
mortgage provided.  Annual debt service coverage of 1.10 times and
35 days cash on hand.

Interest Rate Derivatives: None

                            Strengths

* As of January 1, 2010, St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center and
  St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital legally merged into a single
  operating unit which should create additional financial
  synergies going forward and a unified approach to managed care
  contracting

* Completed renovation of intensive and critical care units and
  expanded operating suite in full use at St. Joseph's Wayne
  Hospital has lead to surgery volume increases; nearing the end
  of large capital projects at St. Joseph's Regional Medical
  Center after years of underinvestment in physical plant

* Continued positive operating performance in annualized fiscal
  year 2010 despite declining volumes with an operating cash flow
  of $37.9 million (6.0% operating cash flow margin) compared to
  an operating cash flow of $37.6 million (5.8% operating cash
  flow margin) in FY 2009

* Improved cash position with 6.5% increase in unrestricted cash
  and investments as of September 30, 2010 to 63 days cash on
  hand, up from 59 days at the end of FY 2009, nearly on par with
  the Ba median of 66.5 days

* Wide array of tertiary services including trauma, cardiology,
  and regional perinatal services

* Market share holding in four county service area at 33% during
  extensive construction at both hospitals

                           Challenges

* Leveraged balance sheet with below average estimated debt to
  cash flow of 6.9 times and estimated debt to operating revenues
  of 45% in annualized FY 2010; very recent increase of debt
  ($30 million) issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent
  to construct a new parking garage at St. Joseph's Regional
  Medical Center will further stress leverage indicators

* Significant reliance on state subsidies ($73.4 million in FY
  2009 representing 195% of operating cash flow); continued state
  budget stress could force funding cuts and would likely place
  material strain on cash flow of St. Joseph's

* Inpatient admissions are down 3.7% through September 30, 2010,
  compared to the prior year comparable period largely driven by
  the economy. Moody's notes that this decline is lower than some
  of the nearby competing hospitals and during a time of extensive
  renovations at both hospitals

* St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center is located in Paterson with
  a below average socioeconomic demographic

                   Recent Developments/Results

St. Joseph's Healthcare System consists of St. Joseph's Regional
Medical Center and St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital.  SJW was acquired
in 2001 and over the past several years management has worked
diligently to standardize productivity benchmarks and reorganize
clinical lines allowing effective utilization of space at the two
facilities.  As of January 1, 2010 the two facilities were merged
into one legal entity with a single governance structure.
Additional, this merger allows the two facilities to operate under
a single Medicare provider number.  As a single entity, SJHS will
be able to contract with managed care providers with a unified
voice which should positively impact net patient revenues.
Moody's view the merger of the two hospitals as a major
achievement as management embarked on this strategy two years ago.
Although the merger was effective as of January 1, 2010, the
financial benefits have not been fully realized.  When annualizing
performance through the first nine months of FY 2010 ending
September 30, 2010, SJHS will record operating performance
similar to performance in FY 2009 with an operating income of
$11.7 million (1.8% operating margin) and operating cash flow of
$38.9 million (6.0% operating cash flow margin) compared to
operating income of $12.9 million (2.0% operating margin) and
operating cash flow of $37.6 million (5.8% operating cash flow
margin).  SJHS's performance is holding steady with the 3.7%
decline in inpatient admissions offset by the 4.8% increase in
outpatient surgical volumes and the 8.7% increase in outpatient
visits and improved managed care rates at SJW following the
merger.  Moody's note that the declines in inpatient volumes at
SJHS is modest compared to some of the other hospitals in New
Jersy.

Further contributing to the anticipated flat operating performance
was the decline in state subsidies for charity care and
disproportionate share reimbursement to an estimated $77.8 million
in FY 2010 as compared to $73.4 million received in FY 2009.  SJHS
is heavily reliant on these state subsidies for operations as it
represented 195% of operating cash flow in FY 2009.  SJRMC is a
safety net hospital for Passaic County and is the second highest
charity care provider in the state.  According to management,
charity care funding from the state of New Jersey should return
to the previous higher levels in FY 2011 at approximately
$74 million.  Moody's view SJHS's heavy reliance on this funding
source as a continued financial risk.  Given the state's fiscal
problems, cuts to the charity care program which were spared in FY
2011 could conceivably be considered as early as spring 2011.
However Moody's note that through the first nine months of FY 2010
management was able to contain a $9 million reduction in subsidies
with only a $5 million decline in cash flow.  Moody's estimate
that coverage levels for FY 2010 will remain largely on par with
FY 2009: 7.0 times debt to cash flow and 2.27 times maximum annual
debt service coverage.

Unrestricted cash and investments improved 6.5% at September 30,
2010, to $106.2 million (62.8 days cash on hand) from
$99.7 million (58.1 days cash on hand) at fiscal yearend 2009;
cash to debt improved slightly to 45.0% as of September 20, 2010,
from 40.4% at FYE 2009, although still well below the Ba median of
65.3%.  Management no longer anticipates an equity contribution
toward the construction of the Critical Care building at the SJRMC
campus as the contractor was able to take advantage of the
economic conditions and renegotiate the guaranteed maximum price
contract.  This should help improved the cash position moving
forward.

The renovation and expansion of SJW's operating rooms and
renovations of the ICU and CCU are complete and in full operation.
The extensive renovations to SJRMC are 15 to 18 months away from
completion and include a new Critical Care building, a new front
lobby and entrance, and a new circular drive.  Essential to the
success of SJRMC is the construction of a new parking garage to
be managed by 200 Hospital Plaza Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary SJHS.  200 Hospital Plaza Corporation issued
$29.6 million of fixed rate Series 2010 Bonds through the Passaic
County Improvement Authority and guaranteed by Passaic County.
The debt service for these bonds will be paid by 200 Hospital
Plaza Corporation with revenues from the parking garage and rental
income from the associated retail space.  SJRMC will fund an
operating reserve fund in the amount of $1.8 million.  If any
portion of the operating reserve fund is used to pay debt service
on the Series 2010 Bonds SJRMC is required to replenish the funds
on a yearly basis.  A debt service reserve fund equal to one year
of debt service will be funded from bond proceeds and used should
the operating reserve fund no longer be available.  The additional
debt increases the system's leverage with debt to cash flow
estimated to increase to 7.7 times in annualized FY 2010 and debt
to operating revenues increasing to 41.0% from 38.2%.  While there
is an irrevocable guarantee on the Series 2010 bonds from the
County, Moody's will include the parking garage debt in Moody's
analysis of SJRMC given the garage's location and strategic
importance to the hospital, as well as the operating fund
replenishment requirement.  Furthermore, the Series 2010 bonds
will appear on the audited financial statements of the system
beginning with the FY 2010 statements.

Throughout this period of construction SJHS has been able to
maintain its 33% market share in the four county primary and
secondary service area.  SJRMC and SJW are located four miles
apart in Passaic County, in Paterson and Wayne townships,
respectively.  Wayne is a suburban community with above average
income levels and Paterson is an urban aging city with below
average income levels relative to the state.  Overall unemployment
in Passaic County increased to 12.3% as of March 2010 above the
state and national averages of 9.4%.  Even with this challenging
socioeconomic demographic SJRMC has seen more modest declines in
inpatient admissions than other neighboring hospitals in less
challenging areas.

                             Outlook

The positive outlook reflects Moody's belief that SJHS is
positioned to improve its credit rating if the growth initiatives
with the new construction results in new volume, and operating
performance and balance sheet indicators improve.

                 What could change the rating -- Up

Improvement in financial performance, growth in volumes and market
share; growth in liquidity and improvement in balance sheet
measures

                What could change the rating -- Down

Departure from current level of results; material increase in
debt; erosion of balance sheet measures; material declines in
state subsidies

and affirmed and the outlook was positive.  That rating was
subsequently recalibrated to Ba1 on May 7, 2010.

Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it
uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and

or validate information received in the rating process.

TAMARACK RESORT: Idaho Officials Extend Lease Until June 2011
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jay Patrick at Idaho Reporter notes Idaho city officials extended
Tamarack Resort's lease of state land through June 30, 2011.  In
return, lender Credit Suisse agreed to pay the Company's 2010 debt
of $290,920 -- rent of $250,000 plus late fees -- and also make a
half-payment for 2011 by Nov. 19, 2010.

According to the report, the officials also approved Tamarack
subletting the land to the Tamarack Municipal Association, which
aims to open the slopes for skiing this winter.  Tamarack's 2010
lease payment was due January 1.

                       About Tamarack Resort

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

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

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

TENSAR CORP: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'CC'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on Tensar Corp. to 'CC' from 'CCC'.  The
outlook is negative.

The issue-level rating on the company's senior secured debt is
being placed on CreditWatch with developing implications, pending
completion of the company's restructuring efforts and S&P's
expectations that the terms of the secured debt will be amended.

"The downgrade and CreditWatch listing reflect S&P's view that
Tensar may not be in a position to remain in compliance with its
senior secured bank credit agreement because of the combination of
still-weak construction end markets, restrictive bank facility
covenants, and high debt levels," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Thomas Nadramia.  "As a result, S&P think Tensar will
likely need to seek amendments or waivers of its covenant
requirements and to pursue restructuring of its debt obligations."

The company faces more restrictive bank credit agreement
covenants, which stepped down at year-end 2009.  The company's
revolving credit facility also matured on Oct. 31, 2010, but it is
S&P's understanding that it was paid in full.  S&P expects that a
new revolving credit facility is likely to be put in place as part
of any restructuring.

In S&P's view, any debt restructuring could include holders of its
second-lien notes and holding company notes (unrated securities)
receiving less than the original promise for their obligations,
which S&P would likely consider to be distressed, under S&P's
criteria, and therefore tantamount to a default on these
obligations.  Under S&P's criteria, if Tensar were to complete an
exchange offer, S&P would lower the corporate credit rating to
'SD' (selective default) and lower any affected issue-level
ratings to 'D'.  S&P would then assign a new corporate credit
rating to Tensar upon the completion of any restructuring based
on, among other things, S&P's assessment of its new capital
structure, liquidity profile, and near-term operating
expectations.

Assuming a restructuring is completed, Standard & Poor's will
assess any changes to Tensar's capital structure and will reassess
the corporate credit rating and issue-level ratings at that time.


THERMOENERGY CORP: Posts $922,000 Net Loss in Qtr. Ended Sept. 30
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ThermoEnergy Corporation filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
showing a net loss of $922,000 on $641,000 of revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net loss of
$4,623,000 on $970,000 of revenues for the same period a year ago.

At September 30, 2010, the Company does not have sufficient
working capital to satisfy its anticipated operating expenses for
the next 12 months.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company has a
cash balance of approximately $5.7 million and current liabilities
of approximately $14.5 million, which consisted primarily of
accounts payable of $626,000, short-term borrowings of $2.7
million (exclusive of discounts of $1.2 million), convertible debt
in default of $5.3 million, other accruals of $3 million and
unpaid payroll taxes of $1.7 million.  The Company is presently in
negotiations with its creditors to extend, settle or convert
certain of its obligations to equity.

The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, showed $7
million in total assets, $18.8 million in total current
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $11.8 million.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on May 4, 2010,
Kemp & Company, a Professional Association, in Little Rock, Ark.,
expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, following its 2009 results.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred net
losses since inception and will require substantial capital to
continue commercialization of the Company's technologies and to
fund the Company's liabilities.

THOMPSON PUBLISHING: Judge Approve Lenders' $42-Mil. Bid
--------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a bankruptcy judge on Friday
approved a $42 million credit bid by senior lenders to purchase
Thompson Publishing Group Inc.'s assets after the Company failed
to attract any competing offers.

Thompson Publishing sought approval to conduct an auction where
the first lien lenders would lead the auction with their credit
bid.

The first lien lenders have entered into an asset purchase
agreement with the Debtors.  A copy of the agreement is available
for free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/THOMPSON_apa.pdf

Under the auction rules, absent higher and better offers, the
first lien lenders will buy the business in exchange for (a) a
credit bid in the amount of $42,000,000; (b) cash in an amount
sufficient for (i) the repayment of outstanding obligations under
a DIP facility, (ii) payment of the cure costs, and (iii) without
duplication, payment of any carve-out and any additional amounts
payable pursuant to and in accordance with a wind-down budget; and
(c) assumption of certain of the Debtors' liabilities.  The
Potential Purchaser also has the option to assume certain of the
Debtors' accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of
business prior to the Petition Date by designating the accounts
payable five business days prior to the auction or seven business
days before the sale hearing.

A copy of the auction procedures proposed by the Debtors is
available for free at:

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

According to the auction rules, the Debtors, with the consent of
the first lien agent and after consultation with the committee,
will determine whether a bid for less than substantially all of
the Debtors' assets qualifies as a qualified partial bid.  The
bidding at the auction will start at the purchase price stated
in the starting qualified bid -- to be determined by the Debtors,
with the consent of the first lien agent and after consultation
with the committee -- and then continue in minimum increments of
$250,000.

TIB FINANCIAL: Posts $33.65 Million Net Loss in Sept. 30 Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------------
TIB Financial Corp. filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
showing a net loss of $33,655,000 on $17,042,000 of total interest
and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $8,097,000 on $20,327,000 of total
interest and dividend income for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, showed
$1,740,891,000 in total assets, $1,563,826,000 in total
liabilities, and $177,065,000 in stockholders' equity.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 6, 2010,
Crowe Horwath LLP, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors noted that the Company incurred net
losses in 2009, 2008 and 2007, primarily from loan and investment
impairments.  In addition, the Company's bank subsidiary is
operating under an informal agreement with bank regulatory
agencies that requires, among other provisions, higher regulatory
capital requirements.  The Bank did not meet the higher capital
requirement as of December 31, 2009, and therefore is not in
compliance with the regulatory agreement.  Failure to comply with
the regulatory agreement may result in additional regulatory
enforcement actions.  At March 31, 2010, these elevated capital
ratios were not met.

TRANSFIELD ER: Files Chapter 15 Petition in Manhattan
-----------------------------------------------------
Transfield ER Cape Ltd., an operator of bulk cargo ships
liquidating in British Virgin Islands courts, sought protection
from claims and lawsuits in the United States by filing a Chapter
15 petition in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16270).

Casey McDonald, Bob Yap Cheng Ghee and Patrick Cowley, as foreign
representatives, filed the Chapter 15 petition.  James H. Power,
Esq., at Holland & Knight, LLP, in New York, serves as counsel to
the foreign representatives.

The Debtor has assets of $273.1 million and liabilities of
$432 million, according to its financial statements.

TERC has pending liquidation proceedings in a British Virgin
Islands court.  In September, TMT Bulk Corporation, trading as TMT
Bulk Co. Ltd., applied to the BVI Court for a winding-up order
against TERC and the appointment of a liquidator.  Later in the
month, the BVI Court issued an order directing that (i) TERC be
wound up by the BVI Court in accordance with the provisions of the
2003 Act and (ii) appointing Casey McDonald, Bob Yap Cheng Ghee
and Patrick Cowley, as Joint Liquidators of TERC.

The Joint Liquidators requested recognition of the BVI Liquidation
as a foreign main proceeding primarily to obtain the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court's assistance in enforcing the automatic stay of
proceedings that came into effect, under BVI law (the 2003 Act),
when the BVI Liquidation was ordered by the BVI Court.  Despite
the BVI stay, five of TERC's creditors have continued with pending
suits against TERC in the United States in the Supreme Court, New
York County, and in the District Court for the Southern District
of New York.

"Recognition of the BVI Liquidation as a foreign main proceeding
would confer" upon TERC the protection of sections 362 and 1520 of
the Bankruptcy Code, thereby preventing one creditor from gaining
an advantage over similarly situated creditors and preventing one
creditor from otherwise interfering with the BVI Liquidation of
the TERC estate," Mr. McDonald said in a court filing.

TERC's main bankruptcy in the British Virgin Islands is already
recognized by the English High Court of Justice, Chancery
Division.  In addition, TERC has received a winding up order from
a Singapore court, which also appointed Messrs. McDonald, Cowley,
and Yap as liquidators.

TERC blamed its woes on the dramatic collapse for transportation
of bulk cargo in 2008 as a result of the global economic downturn.
At that time, the Baltic Dry Index, which measures average global
freight prices for the transportation of bulk goods, collapsed,
and the price of carrying bulk goods and the demand for carriage
of bulk goods dropped significantly.  As a result, TERC's
profitability deteriorated from late-2008 onwards.


TRANSWEST RESORT: Asks for Court's Okay to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
Transwest Resort Properties, Inc., seeks authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona to use until February
2011 the cash collateral securing their obligation to their
prepetition lenders.

Kasey C. Nye, Esq., at Quarles & Brady LLP, explains that the
Debtor needs the money to fund its Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers
and other parties.  The Debtors will use the collateral pursuant
to a four-month budget, a copy of which is available for free at:

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

Transwest Properties, Inc., acquired the Debtor and luxury resorts
the Westin La Paloma Resort and Country Club in a $270 million
leveraged stock purchase transaction that closed on December 5,
2007.  Transwest Partners brought $30 million cash to the
transaction.  The balance of the transaction was accomplished
through a $209 million mortgage loan secured by the Resorts, a
$21.5 million mezzanine loan, and a $10 million junior mezzanine
carry-back loan from the seller.  The Mortgage Loan is evidenced
by two promissory notes dated December 5, 2007 -- the A-1 Note in
the original principal amount of $105 million, and the A-2 Note in
the original principal amount of $104 million -- and executed on
behalf of each of the Property Entities as co-makers.  The
Mortgage Notes are secured by a Deed of Trust Assignment of Leases
and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing encumbering the
La Paloma Resort and by a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and
Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing.

The original mortgage lender sold the Mortgage Notes into two
separate Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities Trusts.   The A-1
Note is owned by Wells Fargo Bank, NA, as trustee for J.P. Morgan
Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2007-C1, and the A-2
Note is owned by Bank of America, N.A., as trustee for J.P. Morgan
Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2008-C2.  Pursuant to
an intercreditor agreement, the trustee for the 2007-C1 CMBS Trust
is the beneficiary of the Arizona Deed of Trust and the South
Carolina Mortgage, and the collateral agent for the Mortgage
Lenders.  The Mortgage Loan is administered by a servicer-
presently LNR Partners, LLC, which took over special servicing of
the Mortgage Loan on June 1, 2010, from Midland Loan Services.

The Debtors said that the mortgage lenders will be adequately
protected by the continuing operating profits, by a replacement
lien in the receipts generated post-petition, by the new post-
petition cash management regime that transparently segregates
accumulating cash collateral, and by the improved operating
performance of the Resorts that result from the capital
expenditures.

Tucson, Arizona-based Transwest Resort Properties, Inc., filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 17, 2010 (Bankr. D.
Ariz. Case No. 10-37134).  Kasey C. Nye, Esq., at Quarles & Brady
LLP, assists the Debtor in its restructuring effort.  The Debtor
estimated its assets at up to $50,000 and debts at $10 million to
$50 million.

TUTOR PERINI: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has assigned its
'BB-' corporate credit rating to Sylmar, California-based Tutor
Perini Corp.  At the same time, S&P also assigned a 'BB-' issue-
level rating to the company's proposed $300 million senior
unsecured notes.  The recovery rating is '4', indicating S&P's
expectation of an average (30%-50%) recovery in a payment default
scenario.  The company also has a $205 million revolver and a
supplementary line of $100 million, which S&P does not rate.
At the same time, S&P also assigned a 'BB-' issue-level rating to
the company's proposed $300 million senior unsecured notes.  The
recovery rating is '4', indicating S&P's expectation of an average
(30%-50%) recovery in a payment default scenario.  The company
also has a $205 million revolver and a supplementary line of
$100 million, which S&P does not rate.

"The ratings on Tutor Perini reflect S&P's assessment of its
business risk profile as weak, characterized by its presence in
the cyclical engineering and construction sector, limited end-
market diversity, and geographic concentration," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Sarah Wyeth.  "However, S&P expects that a
growing proportion of civil construction projects will enable the
company to achieve operating margin (before depreciation and
amortization) of about 5%, allowing it to maintain debt (adjusted
for pensions and operating leases) to EBITDA of about 2.5x."

The outlook is stable.  "S&P expects stimulus-driven and other
government project spending to somewhat offset weakness in
commercial construction end markets," Ms. Wyeth continued.
"However, if operating performance is weaker than expected,
resulting in debt to EBITDA above 3.5x, S&P could consider
lowering the rating.  If S&P expects the company to maintain
metrics that could support a higher rating, and S&P expects the
company to pursue a less aggressive financial policy, S&P could
consider raising the rating."


UNIGENE LABORATORIES: Has $4.38 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Unigene Laboratories Inc. announced financial results for the
third quarter, 2010 and highlighted progress with the Company's
recent establishment of two specialized strategic business units -
Unigene Therapeutics and Unigene Biotechnologies.

Unigene reported a net loss of $4,384,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $5,834,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Cash at September 30,
2010 was $8,431,000, an increase of approximately $3,537,000 from
December 31, 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed
$25.66 million in total assets, $62.50 million in total
liabilities, and a stockholders' deficit of $36.83 million.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was
$2,856,000, compared to $2,732,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009.  Revenue for both periods primarily consisted
of Fortical sales and royalties which have declined since the
launch of competitive products in December 2008.  Fortical sales
were $1,287,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010,
compared to $1,272,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2009.  Fortical sales fluctuate each quarter based upon Upsher-
Smith Laboratories' ordering schedule.  Fortical royalties were
$744,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared
to $1,126,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Fortical royalties fluctuate each quarter based upon the timing,
pricing and volume of USL's shipments to its customers.  Data from
IMS indicate that as of August 2010, Fortical held a 39% share of
U.S. nasal calcitonin prescriptions.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was
$23,974,000 compared to a net loss of $12,569,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009.  Non-cash expenses included in
the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 include
$8,125,000 in loss on change in fair value of embedded conversion
feature, $2,008,000 in non-cash interest expense, $576,000 in
inventory reserve provision and $1,400,000 in non-cash equity
compensation and depreciation and amortization expense.

Ashleigh Palmer, Unigene's Chief Executive Officer stated, "Mid-
way through the quarter we created two distinct and highly focused
business units: Unigene Therapeutics and Unigene Biotechnologies
to facilitate the execution of our strategic priorities."  Palmer
continued, "Our aggressive three step strategy has been clearly
defined and we are committed to its execution.  We will focus on
increasing our runway in the near-term by prudent cash conservancy
and incremental revenue generation; as resources permit, retiring
debt and selectively investing in the advancement of existing core
development programs; and maximizing shareholder value by
exploiting the full potential of the Company's "Peptelligence"
technology platform."

------------------------------------------------------------------
Unilife Corporation filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
reporting a net loss of $7.2 million on $3.5 million of revenue

UNITRIN INC: Fitch Upgrades Rating on $610MM Sr. Notes From 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Unitrin, Inc.'s debt and Issuer Default
Rating by one notch to 'BBB-' and 'BBB', respectively, following
the successful completion of its $250 million 6% senior note
issuance due 2015.  Fitch has also assigned a 'BBB-' rating to
this new debt.

The rationale for Fitch's upgrade is based on the company's
improved financial flexibility and overall holding company profile
following the completion of its long-term debt issuance.  The
proceeds will be used, in part, to pay off Unitrin's bank revolver
in full.

The company will also contribute $60 million to United Insurance
Company of America, its primary life insurance subsidiary.  This
contribution will improve United's capitalization.  The remainder
of the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Unitrin's debt to capital ratio remains within Fitch's
expectations at 21.8% following the debt issuance.

The upgrade is also influenced by Fitch's reduced concern related
to Fireside Bank, Unitrin's auto finance business, which is
currently in runoff.  Based on updated stress scenarios, Fitch
believes Fireside will be self-funding and will not weaken the
balance sheet of the parent company.  This also relieves some of
the concern that previously resulted in wider holding-company
notching.  Providing additional comfort for the holding company is
Fireside's $240 million of cash and investments.

Fitch notes that Fireside Bank's capitalization remains strong
with a Tier 1 Capital to Total Average Asset ratio of 31.0%
compared with 15.6% on March 31, 2009, when the bank was placed
into runoff.

Given adequate capitalization at the insurance company level and
modest operating results, Fitch has also affirmed the ratings of
Unitrin's insurance subsidiaries with a Stable Outlook.

Fitch could downgrade Unitrin's ratings if any of, but not limited
to, these takes place:

  -- Debt to capital ratio exceeds 25%;

  -- Earnings-based interest coverage falls below high single
     digits for several quarters;

  -- The company's capitalization deteriorates significantly due
     to an acquisition;

  -- Significant acceleration of charge-offs at Fireside results
     in capital contributions from Unitrin.

Fitch could upgrade Unitrin's ratings if any of, but not limited
to, these takes place:

  -- Significant improvement in capitalization;
  -- Meaningful and sustained improvement in underwriting results.

Fitch has upgraded these:

Unitrin

  -- IDR to 'BBB' from 'BBB-';
  -- $610 million senior notes to 'BBB-' from 'BB+'.

Fitch has affirmed these with a Stable Outlook:
Trinity Universal Insurance Co.
United Insurance Co. of America
Union National Life Insurance Co.
Reliable Life Insurance Co.

  -- Insurer Financial Strength rating at 'A-'.


VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS: Note Offering Won't Affect Moody's Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service commented that there is no impact to
the ratings or outlook of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International,

a B1 rating to Valeant's proposed senior notes on November 18,

The Debtors want to sell:

VERTIS HOLDINGS: Files Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization
---------------------------------------------------------
Vertis Holdings, Inc., et al., have filed a joint prepackaged plan
of reorganization and disclosure statement with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

The Debtors ask the Court to set for December 16, 2010, a combined
hearing for the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan.

In a statement announcing its bankruptcy filing, Vertis said that
early voting results as of November 15, 2010, the deadline by
which eligible note holders were required to vote in order to
receive a consent payment, indicated a low likelihood of reaching
the 98% participation levels established in the out-of court
exchange offers.  Accordingly, the Debtors determined to commence
these cases prior to the December 1, 2010, voting deadline in
order to expedite their restructuring.  As of November 17, 2010,
the Company has received overwhelming acceptances of its Plan of
Reorganization.  Specifically, holders of approximately
$428,182,596 in aggregate amount of the Second Lien Notes have
voted on the Plan, which comprises 86.4% of the aggregate
principal amount of Second Lien Notes outstanding as of the
Petition Date.  Of those who have voted, 98.29% in aggregate
principal amount of the Series A Second Lien Notes have voted to
accept the Plan and 100% in aggregate principal amount of the
Series B and Series C Second Lien Notes have voted to accept the
Plan.  Holders of approximately $218 million in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior PIK Notes have voted on the Plan,
which comprises 84.2% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior
PIK Notes outstanding as of the Petition Date.  Of those who have
voted, 99.98% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior PIK
Notes have voted to accept the Plan.

The Debtors have established December 1, 2010, at 12:00 a.m. (New
York City time) as the deadline to vote to accept or reject the
Plan.  The Debtors request that the Court set December 9, 2010, as
the last date to file objections to the adequacy of the Disclosure
Statement or confirmation of the Plan.

In connection with the restructuring transactions and the Plan,
the Debtors have received commitments to enter into new financing
arrangements, including the $175.0 million New Revolving Credit
Facility and the $425.0 million New Term Loan, the proceeds of
which will be used, among other things, to repay all of the
Debtors' obligations under the existing credit facilities.  The
New Revolving Credit Facility will be secured by liens on
substantially all of the Debtors' assets and the assets of all of
the Debtors' domestic restricted subsidiaries that secure our
existing secured indebtedness, with a first priority lien on
current assets and other related assets and a second priority lien
on all assets that secure our existing secured indebtedness other
than the revolver collateral, which other assets include fixed
assets and intellectual property.  The New Term Loan will be
secured by liens on substantially all of the Debtors' assets and
the assets of all of the Debtors' domestic subsidiaries that
secure the Debtors' existing secured indebtedness, with a first
priority lien on all assets that secure the Debtors' existing
secured indebtedness other than the revolver collateral and a
second priority lien on the revolver collateral.

VITRO SAB: Ad Hoc Noteholders Express Concerns on Exchange Offer
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Ad Hoc Group of Vitro Noteholders -- comprised of holders, or
investment advisors to holders, which represent approximately
$650 million of the Senior Notes due 2012, 2013 and 2017 issued by
Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. -- believes that the exchange offer exposes
Noteholders who consent to potential adverse consequences that
have not been disclosed by Vitro.  The Ad Hoc Noteholder Group has
been engaged in discussions with other Noteholders who hold in
excess of $100 million of Senior Notes, who have confirmed that
they oppose and are not participating in the Consent Solicitation
and Exchange Offer dated November 1, 2010.

As previously announced, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group opposes
Vitro's proposed Concurso restructuring and has determined not to
tender their notes because, among other things, it does not
provide an appropriate economic recovery for holders of Senior
Notes.

In the event that Vitro waives the conditions of its Solicitation,
which Vitro is entitled to do, the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group
believes that any consenting Noteholder could be forced to take
the new notes offered in the Consent Solicitation, regardless of
whether Vitro files or completes its proposed Concurso plan in
Mexico.  If Vitro were to pursue this option, Noteholders that do
not give their consent in the Solicitation would keep their
original Senior Notes with their original terms, while consenting
Noteholders could receive the consideration offered in the
Solicitation, which includes substantially inferior terms to the
Senior Notes.

Even if Vitro did not exercise its option to waive all conditions
to the Solicitation, Noteholders may be tied up indefinitely if
they act to accept the Solicitation.  The Solicitation generally
does not provide Noteholders with withdrawal rights unless Vitro
fails to file its Concurso plan in Mexico prior to December 31,
2010.  The Ad Hoc Noteholder Group believes that Noteholders who
give their consent in the Solicitation may not be able to sell or
trade Senior Notes prior to the completion of the Concurso plan in
Mexico, if and when this occurs.  The foregoing won't be construed
as tax, legal, business, financial, accounting or other advice,
and Noteholders are encouraged to consult their own advisors.

WALTER ENERGY: Western Coal Won't Affect Moody's 'B1' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said Walter Energy Inc.'s B1 Corporate
Family Rating and stable outlook will not be immediately impacted
by an agreement to purchase 19.8% of Western Coal Corporation from
affiliates of Audley Capital.  Furthermore, Walter signed a non-
binding letter of intent to acquire all outstanding shares of
Western and is under a 14 day exclusivity agreement to negotiate a
definitive agreement for the acquisition.  In the event that
Walter enters into a definitive agreement, Moody's would view the
proposed transaction as a transformational credit event and place
the existing ratings on review subject to receiving additional
information about the acquisition.

The last rating action on Walter occurred on October 14, 2009 when
its CFR was upgraded to B1 from B2.

Walter Energy, Inc., headquartered in Tampa, Florida, is primarily
a metallurgical coal producer which also produces metallurgical
coke, steam and industrial coal, and natural gas.  Walter
primarily sells its met coal to customers in South America and
Europe.  Revenues were roughly $1.4 billion for LTM ended
September 30, 2010.


WESTLAKE CHEMICAL: Moody's Assigns 'Ba2' Ratings on Revenue Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Ba2 ratings to the GO Zone and
Ike Zone revenue bonds which are guaranteed by Westlake Chemical
Corporation under a loan agreement to be executed at closing.
Proceeds from these notes will be used to fund future capital
expenditures at Westlake's Geismar and Lake Charles facilities.
Westlake's rating outlook is stable.

"Westlake continues to perform well due to low feedstock costs in
the U.S. and is making further investments to take advantage of
low cost natural gas on the Gulf Coast" commented John Rogers,
Senior Vice President at Moody's.

                         Rating Rationale

Westlake's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating is affirmed and reflects
its strong liquidity, vertical integration, disciplined investment
policy, higher operating rates and less commoditized downstream
product portfolio (Epolene and PVC pipe).  The Ba1 CFR also
reflects Westlake's relatively conservative fiscal policies, which
include the pre funding of any large capital expenditures and the
maintenance of elevated cash balances.  The ratings are tempered
by its exposure to volatile feedstock and selling prices, the
capital required to add new ethylene or chlor alkali capacity,
limited product diversity, its size relative to other commodity
plastics producers (polyethylene and PVC), the regional nature of
its operations, the limited number and locations of its commodity
chemical facilities, and the expectations for a modest decline in
2011 margins due to the worsening of global supply/demand dynamics
in ethylene and polyethylene.

The combination of its smaller size and substantial vertical
integration allows the company to maintain higher operating rates
over the cycle than many of its competitors.  Westlake also
benefits from its position as the only fully back-integrated
producer of PVC resins (produces ethylene and chlorine) in North
America, as well as its forward integration into PVC fabricated
products which provide a captive outlet for its resins.
Furthermore, Westlake's polyethylene assets are skewed toward LDPE
(60%), which usually generates higher margins, especially in the
trough of the cycle.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that Westlake's
financial metrics will remain at levels near investment grade
levels over the next two years, largely due to the benefit from
low natural gas (energy costs) and related feedstock prices, as
well as a fairly robust export market for these commodities,
especially South America.

Rating assigned:

The Louisiana Local Government Environmental Facilities and
Community Development Authority, a political subdivision of the
State of Louisiana, is issuing:

  -- $89,000,000 of its Sen. Unsec. Revenue Bonds (Westlake
     Chemical Corporation Projects) Series 2010A-1 (GO Zone) due
     Nov. 1, 2035, Ba2 (LGD4, 68%)

  -- $65,000,000 of its Sen. Unsec. Revenue Bonds (Westlake
     Chemical Corporation Projects) Series 2010A-2 (Ike Zone) due
     Nov. 1, 2035, Ba2 (LGD4, 68%)

Westlake Chemical Corporation, headquartered in Houston, TX, is a
producer of commodity petrochemicals (ethylene and styrene),
plastics (polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene), and fabricated
products (pipes, films and profiles).  Revenues were $3.0 billion
for the LTM ended September 30, 2010.


WESTLAKE CHEMICAL: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating From 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its
corporate credit rating on Westlake Chemical Corp. to 'BBB-' from
'BB+'.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its rating on the company's senior
unsecured debt to 'BBB-' from 'BB+'.

S&P also assigned a 'BBB-' rating to the company's proposed
$154 million senior unsecured revenue bonds maturing 2035.  The
bonds are to be issued by the Louisiana Local Government
Environmental Facilities and Community Development Authority, of
the State of Louisiana.  Westlake will be the obligor on the
bonds.  The company expects to use proceeds from the bonds, along
with cash on the balance sheet, and cash flow generation to fund a
major portion of a large capital spending program over the next
four years.  This program includes a proposed $300 million chlor-
alkali expansion expected to be completed in 2013, and several
ethylene production debottlenecking projects.

"The upgrade reflects Westlake's strong operating performance and
S&P's expectation that leverage-related credit metrics will remain
appropriate at the revised rating even if operating performance
declines somewhat from elevated levels achieved in 2010," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Paul Kurias.

Operating margins for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010, were 14%
as the company benefited from improved demand trends, favorable
pricing, and supportive raw material trends in the U.S.


WILLIAM LYON: Lowers Net Loss to $8-Mil. in Q3 2010
---------------------------------------------------
William Lyon Homes reported net loss of $8.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2010, a 31% improvement compared to net
loss of $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
2009. Consolidated operating revenue increased 12% to
$75.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as
compared to $67.2 million for the comparable period a year ago.
Home sales revenue increased 32% to $73.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $55.8 million for
the comparable period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2010, showed $779.64
million in total assets, $639.57 million in total liabilities, and
a stockholders' equity of $140.07 million.

The Company reported net loss for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 of $21.0 million, an improvement of 49% compared to net

Consolidated operating revenue decreased 4% to $205.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $213.9
million for the comparable period a year ago.

The Company experienced slower absorption rates than anticipated
during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  In certain
markets, sales prices and sales absorption have been steady, while
the economic recovery continues to be slower than anticipated.
Management of the Company may increase sales incentives or use
other marketing strategies to stimulate homebuyer demand and
improve sales absorption in its markets.

Net new home orders for the three months ended September 30, 2010
were 163 homes, a decrease of 34% compared to 246 homes for the
three months ended September 30, 2009.  The Company's number of
new home orders per average sales location decreased slightly to
9.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to
10.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and down from
10.1 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The average number
of sales locations during the three months ended September 30,
2010 was 18, down 25% from 24 in the comparable period a year
ago.  The Company's cancellation rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 decreased slightly to 17% from 19% for the
comparable period in 2009, and is down from 18% for the three
months ended June 30, 2010.

Net new home orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
were 536 homes, down 23% from 697 homes for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.  The Company's number of new home orders per
average sales location increased to 29.8 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, as compared to 26.8 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.  The average number of sales locations during
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 18, down 31% from 26
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The Company's
cancellation rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was
18%, compared to 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Consolidated homebuilding gross profit increased 71% to $11.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to
$6.8 million in the comparable period a year ago.  Consolidated
homebuilding gross margin percentage increased to 15.7% for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 from 12.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 2009.  These higher gross margin
percentages were primarily attributable to the higher average
sales price of homes closed of $383,800 during the third quarter
of 2010, up 56% from $245,700 for the comparable period a year
ago.

in designing, constructing and selling single family detached and
attached homes in California, Arizona and Nevada.

liabilities, and a stockholders' equity of $147.87 million.

                         *     *     *

William Lyon carries 'CCC' issuer credit ratings from Standard &
Poor's, and 'Caa2' long term corporate family and probability of
default ratings from Moody's.

"S&P raised its rating on William Lyon Homes because S&P believes
that near-term liquidity pressure has eased somewhat following the
partial funding of a secured term loan and reduced maturing credit
facility debt," said credit analyst James Fielding in November
2009 when S&P raised the rating on William Lyon to 'CCC' from
'CCC-'.  He added, "However, this privately held homebuilder
remains very highly leveraged and may face challenges repaying or
refinancing intermediate-term debt maturities if its business
prospects don't improve in the interim."

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating on William
Lyon Homes' 10.75% senior unsecured notes due 2013 to 'CC' from
'D' after the company repurchased $10.5 million of outstanding
principal for $9.0 million.  S&P lowered its rating on the notes
to 'D' because S&P considered the discounted repurchase to be
tantamount to default under its criteria for exchange offers and
similar restructurings.  In accordance with its criteria, S&P is
now raising its rating on these notes because the company
completed its repurchase, and S&P is not aware of additional
discounted repurchases at this time.

asserting that Workflow Management Inc. should be stripped of the

Silver Point Finance LLC, a Workflow lender with a secondary
priority of repayment, asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Norfolk,

unfairly and would leave the company insolvent when it exits
bankruptcy, according to court papers filed last week.

YELLOWSTONE MOUNTAIN: Founder Seeks Dismissal of Bankruptcy Judge
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yellowstone Mountain Club LLC founder Timothy Blixseth wants a
Montana bankruptcy judge disqualified from reconsidering the
club's restructuring plan in light of the judge's alleged "deep-
seated bias" against him, Dow Jones' Small Cap reports.

According to the report, as Judge Ralph B. Kirscher of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Butte, Mont., faces a U.S. district court
order directing him to reconsider the restructuring plan he
approved in June 2009, Blixseth is questioning the judge's
impartiality in a long-running and contentious bankruptcy
proceeding.

"Judge Kirscher sitting as a trier of fact cannot reasonably be
expected to provide Mr. Blixseth a fair trial; he has consistently
maligned Mr. Blixseth's credibility and found Mr. Blixseth
culpable for the demise of the Yellowstone Club," Blixseth wrote
in court papers, the report notes.

Mr. Blixseth is specifically seeking the transfer of all contested
matters in which he's a litigant to a U.S. district judge in
Montana, the report adds.

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
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.

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