AES EASTERN: To Accept Proposals for 2 Plants Until March 2
-----------------------------------------------------------
AES Eastern Energy LP and its affiliates will ask the bankruptcy
judge at a hearing today, Jan. 26, 2012, at 10:30 a.m., to approve
procedures in connection with the sale of two of their six power
plants.

Prepetition, the Debtors have reached a settlement with holders of
pass-through certificates under which the parties have agreed that
the two operating power plants -- the Somerset and Cayuga
generating facilities -- will be transferred to an entity formed
by the certificate holders, subject to higher and better offers in
an auction process.

The Debtors have filed a motion seeking approval of the
settlement, which they say will preserve the going-concern value
of Somerset and Cayuga and will save the jobs of a substantial
portion of the 211 employees.

Prepetition marketing efforts yielded interest from a "small
number" of financial advisors, but none who would invest at a
value that would satisfy the existing debt or form the basis of a
workable debt restructuring.

The Certificate Holders have signed a contract to purchase the
assets for a partial credit bid equal to $300 million plus $5
million cash and the assumption of liabilities, absent higher and
better offers.

Under the proposed rules, interested parties who wish to
participate in the auction must submit their initial bids by
March 2, 2012.  If qualified bids are received, an auction will be
held on March 12, 2012, starting at 10:00 a.m. E.T.  The
successful bid will be subject to approval by the Court at the
sale hearing scheduled for March 15, 2012, at 10:00 a.m.

                       Schedules Extension

The Debtors on Jan. 9 filed a request to extend by 30 days the
deadline to file their schedules of assets and liabilities and
statement of financial affairs.  Absent an extension, the
documents will be due Jan. 29.  The hearing on the proposed
extension is also slated for Jan. 26.

AES EASTERN: Proposes Barclays as Financial Advisor
---------------------------------------------------
AES Eastern Energy, L.P., is seeking approval from the Bankruptcy
Court to hire Barclays Capital Inc. as financial advisor, nunc pro
tunc to the Chapter 11 petition date.

Barclays has previously assisted AEE in, among other things,
evaluating AEE's and the other Debtors' liquidity situation,
capital structure alternatives, and recapitalization
opportunities.

Postpetition, Barclays will, among other things:

   i. provide general business and financial analyses of the
      Debtors, including a review, from a financial point of view,
      of the Debtors' current business plan and financial
      projections;

  ii. evaluate the current capitalization of the Debtors and its
      requirements for liquidity based on the Debtors' business
      plan;

iii. evaluate the Debtors' debt capacity and alternative capital
      structures;

  iv. jointly with the Debtors, develop and maintain a long term
      financial model customized for the Debtors' needs to
      accurately reflect the Debtors' business conditions; to
      prepare a wide range of sensitivities on critical
      assumptions; and to accurately reflect the pro-forma
      financial and credit results of a successful Transaction on
      the Debtors;

   v. assist the Debtors in liaising with and coordinating other
      (nonfinancial) advisers appointed by the Debtors and
      together with the Debtors' other advisers, advise the
      Debtors in connection with the structuring of the
      Transaction; and

  vi. assist the Debtors in identifying, developing, and
      evaluating potential candidates for a Transaction and
      soliciting those which Barclays and the Debtors have agreed
      may be appropriate for a potential Transaction. In rendering
      such services, Barclays may meet with representatives of
      such candidates and provide such representatives with such
      information about the Debtors as may be appropriate and
      acceptable to the Debtors.

Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, Barclays will be paid in cash
under this fee structure:

     i. Monthly Fee. The Debtors will pay Barclays a monthly fee
        of $125,000 for each month.

    ii. Transaction Fee.  The Debtors will pay Barclays a
        transaction fee equal to $3,000,000 in the event of a
        Transaction", which is defined as a lease restructuring,
        sale or recapitalization.

   iii. Discretionary Fee.  The Debtors agree to consider, in
        their sole discretion, paying Barclays a discretionary fee
        based on the Debtors' assessment of the quality and
        quantity of work completed by Barclays in connection with
        its engagement under the Engagement Letter.

    iv. Expense Reimbursement.  The Debtors agree to reimburse
        Barclays, promptly upon request, for its reasonable
        expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
        of legal counsel), plus any sales, use or other taxes,
        incurred in connection with its engagement under the
        Engagement Letter, regardless of whether any Transaction
        is consummated.

George Mack, a managing director, will lead the team of Barclays
professionals that will work closely with the Debtors' management
and other professionals throughout the reorganization process.

The Debtors submit that each of Barclays and its professionals is
a "disinterested person" as defined in section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

AINSWORTH FEED: 8th Cir. BAP Affirms Ruling on Sears Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------
The United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth
Circuit affirmed a June 8, 2011 bankruptcy court order (1)
overruling the objections of Robert A. Sears and Korley B. Sears
to Claim Nos. 8, 9 and 10 filed by Rhett R. Sears, Rhett R. Sears
Revocable Trust, Ron H. Sears Trust, Ronald H. Sears, and Dane R.
Sears -- the Sears Family Members -- in the bankruptcy case of
AFY, Inc., also known as Ainsworth Feed Yards Company, Inc.; and
(2) disallowing Claim No. 26 of Korley B. Sears.  Robert and
Korley appealed the ruling.  The issues before the BAP are whether
the bankruptcy court erred when it (1) disallowed Claim No. 26
filed by Korley B. Sears; (2) overruled the objection to the claim
of the Sears Family Members; and (3) denied the requests by Korley
and Robert to have the hearing postponed to allow time for
discovery and for a hearing with testimony and cross-examination
of witnesses, rather than having the matters submitted on
affidavit evidence.  In addition, the Sears Family Members argued
that if the BAP affirmed the bankruptcy court's denial of Korley's
Claim No. 26, Robert and Korley do not have standing to appeal the
bankruptcy court's order overruling their objections to the claims
of the Sears Family Members.

In its ruling, the BAP said it agrees with the bankruptcy court on
all issues, saying Robert and Korley failed to provide evidence
sufficient to rebut the presumptive validity of the Sears Family
Members' claims and the bankruptcy court, therefore, properly
allowed the claims as filed.

The case is Robert A. Sears; Korley B. Sears, Interested parties-
Appellants, v. Ronald H. Sears; Ron H. Sears Trust; Rhett R.
Sears; Rhett Sears Revocable Trust; Dane Sears, Claimants-
Appellees, No. 11-6042 (8th Cir. BAP).  A copy of the BAP's Jan.
23, 2012 decision is available at http://is.gd/fZ8gupfrom

                         About AFY Inc.

Ainsworth, Nebraska-based AFY, Inc., doing business as Ainsworth
Feed Yards Company, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D. Neb. Case No. 10-40875) on March 25, 2010.
Jerrold L. Strasheim, Esq., in Omaha, served as the Debtor's
counsel.  AFY estimated its assets and debts at $10 million to
$50 million as of the bankruptcy filing.

Affiliates Robert A. Sears and Korley B. Sears filed Chapter 11
petitions (Bankr. D. Neb. Case Nos. 10-40275 and 10-40277) on
Feb. 12, 2010.  Mr. Strasheim also represented the Sears Debtors.

Disputes arose in the three cases as to who actually owned or
controlled the voting rights of the shares of stock in AFY.  The
disputes were between Robert and Korley Sears on the one hand and
members of the Sears family on the other hand.  Partly due to this
dispute over the ownership and control of AFY, on April 29, 2010,
the Bankruptcy Court granted a motion to appoint a Chapter 11
trustee.  Joseph H. Badami was subsequently appointed as the
Chapter 11 trustee.  Mr. Strasheim withdrew as attorney for AFY in
June 2010.

The case was converted to one under Chapter 7 on the trustee's
motion.


ALC HOLDINGS: Patient Care Ombudsman Requirement Waived
-------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Mary F. Walrath of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware waived the requirement for the appointment of
a patient care ombudsman in the Chapter 11 cases of ALC Holdings
LLC, et al., pursuant to Section 333 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors requested that the Court determine that the
appointment of a patient care ombudsman is not necessary because
the Debtors are not a "health care business" and even if they were
deemed a health care business, appointment of a patient care
ombudsman is not necessary for protection of the Debtors'
customers.

ALROSE KING: US Trustee Wants Chapter 7; Debtor Cites Progress
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tracy Hope Davis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 2, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York to (i)
convert the Chapter 11 case of Alrose King David, LLC, to a case
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or in the alternative,
(ii) dismiss the Chapter 11 case.

According to the U.S. Trustee, there is no reasonable likelihood
of any successful rehabilitation for the Debtor.

The U.S. Trustee enumerated five grounds for conversion or
dismissal:

  (1) Based upon the Debtor's current financial state, the Debtor
      does not have sufficient cash flow to bring its postpetition
      administrative expenses current.

  (2) Since the Petition Date, the Debtor has been tardy in filing
      monthly operating reports.

  (3) The Debtor's MORs show that its is behind with postpetition
      real estate taxes in the amount of $57,739.

  (4) The Debtor has failed to pay quarterly fees for the third
      quarter of 2011.

   (5) The Debtor has not fulfilled its fiduciary duties by
       failing to candidly report its assets.

The U.S. Trustee notes that not only has the Debtor failed to make
any progress toward a successful reorganization, its financial
condition has deteriorated.

                         Debtor Objects

The Debtor denied that it is suffering a substantial or continuing
loss or that there is a diminution of the estate.  According to
the Debtor, significant payments have been recently made to
utility service providers for postpetition charges for services
provided to the real property owned by the Debtor and leased to
Alrose Allegria LLC.

Since Nov. 22, 2011, the Debtor has continued its negotiations
with Brooklyn Federal Savings Bank, its primary secured lender,
concerning its financial obligations to Brooklyn Federal.  The
ongoing discussions between the Debtor and Brooklyn Federal have
resulted in an agreement on the primary business terms of a
restructuring of the Debtor's financial obligations to Brooklyn
Federal under a plan of reorganization.

Based on the progress in its negotiations with Brooklyn Federal
and ongoing discussions with the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors, the Debtor believes there is a reasonable likelihood
for its exit from this case as a rehabilitated and successfully
reorganized entity in the next few months.  These negotiations
have resulted in temporary delays by the Debtor in preparing and
filing certain operating reports.

The Debtor asserts that the non-payment of taxes, which are the
primary source of the Debtor's administrative expense obligations,
is not cause for conversion or dismissal.   The Debtor also
maintains it has been candid in disclosing its assets.

In view of the recent progress made, the Debtor believes it is
ultimately in the best interest of its creditors that the case not
be converted to a case under Chapter 7 or be dismissed.

ANDRONICO'S MARKETS: Wins Dismissal of Bankruptcy Case
------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of Andronico's Markets, Inc., the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of California dismissed its
Chapter 11 case.

Andronico's said no assets of value remain in the bankruptcy
estate.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 31, 2011,
Andronico's struck a deal to sell its assets to Renwood, an
affiliate of Renovo Capital for $16 million.

Andronico's said in court papers that Renwood has acquired all of
the estate's avoidance actions pursuant to the terms of the sale
transaction.  Based on the estimated liabilities and expenses of
administration in the case, and the lack of assets in the estate,
no funds are available to provide any distribution to creditors or
to the holders of administrative expense claims other than those
included in the Buyer's carve-out for estate professionals.

Andronico's also said no plan can be proposed and a conversion of
the case to a case under Chapter 7 will only add a layer of
administrative expense by the Chapter 7 trustee and his or her
professionals, and will further dilute those estate professionals
being compensated from the carve-out.

In view of the dismissal of the case, the Court said Rust
Consulting Inc. is immediately terminated as the claims and notice
agent.  Any claims, amendments to claims, transfers of claims and
the like will be filed with the Clerk of the Court.  The Court
also said the United Food and Commercial Workers has the right and
standing to move the court for an order reopening the case at any
time.

                      About Andronico's Markets

Andronico's Markets, Inc., aka Andronico's Community Markets, was

Andronico's was a California C-corporation, owned by Solano

divided among various Andronico family members.

Andronico's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Calif.
Case No. 11-48963) on Aug. 22, 2011.  Judge Edward D. Jellen

                      About Applied Minerals

New York City-based Applied Minerals, Inc. (OTC BB: AMNL) is a
leading global producer of halloysite clay used in the development
of advanced polymer, catalytic, environmental remediation, and
controlled release applications.  The Company operates the Dragon
Mine located in Juab County, Utah, the only commercial source of
halloysite clay in the western hemisphere.  Halloysite is an
aluminosilicate clay that forms naturally occurring nanotubes.

The Company reported a net loss of $4.77 million for 2010,
compared with a net loss of $6.77 million for 2009.  The Dragon
Mine property has yet to produce any significant revenue and, as
such, the Company generated no gross profit for the twelve months
ended Dec. 31, 2010, and 2009.

As reported by the TCR on April 28, 2011, PMB Helin Donovan, LLP,
in Spokane, Washington, after auditing the Company's financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has an accumulated
deficit from operations and a net deficiency in working capital.

Applied Minerals in its Form 10-Q acknowledged that it has
incurred material recurring losses from operations.  At March 31,
2011, the Company had aggregate accumulated deficits prior to and
during the exploration stage of $33,239,435, in addition to
limited cash and unprofitable operations.  For the period ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company sustained net losses before
discontinued operations of $1,343,240 and $1,084,299,
respectively.  These factors indicate that the Company may be
unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time, according to the quarterly report.

The Company reported a net loss from exploration stage before
discontinued operations of $5.60 million on $85,971 of revenue for
the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss
from exploration stage before discontinued operations of $3.53
million on $0 of revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$4.91 million in total assets, $4.41 million in total liabilities,
and $499,548 in total stockholders' equity.


AQUILEX HOLDINGS: Moody's Gives Ca/LD After Missed Payment
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has added a limited default designation
to the Ca probability of default rating of Aquilex Holdings, LLC.
Instrument ratings and the speculative grade liquidity rating are
unaffected.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Moody's believes the company did not make the $12.5 million
scheduled (December 15, 2011) bond interest payment on its $225
million unsecured 2016 notes within the 30-day grace period, which
represents a default per Moody's default definition.

The "LD" designation added to the probability of default rating
will remain in place until clarity over how the missed interest
payment will be settled develops.

The company has arranged forebearance for the missed interest
payment until early February. As well, forebearance has been
arranged through early February for covenant violations under the
first-lien credit facility.

The company is trying to arrange a financial restructuring whereby
debts would be exchanged for equity, pursuant to a rights offering
as described in an 8-k filing of December 23, 2011. Moody's will
likely consider such transaction to be a distressed exchange.

The ratings are:

Corporate family, affirmed at Ca

Probability of default, to Ca/LD from from Ca

$50 million first-lien revolver due April 2015, affirmed at Caa3
LGD3, 31%

$163 million first-lien term loan due April 2016, affirmed at Caa3

$225 million11.125% senior unsecured notes due December 2016,
affirmed at C LGD5, 86%

Speculative grade liquidity, unchanged SGL-4

The principal methodology used in rating Aquilex was the Global
Business & Consumer Service Industry Rating Methodology published
in October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given
Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S.,
Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Aquilex Holdings, LLC, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a
provider of service, repair and overhaul services, and industrial
cleaning services to the energy and power generation sectors.
Revenues for the last twelve months ended September 30, 2011 were

ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: Judge Drain Approves $750 Mil. Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that Judge Robert D.
Drain of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, New York, approved
the $400 million revolving loan and $350 million term loan from
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Credit Suisse AG, without which Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. said its exit from Chapter 11 would be
"uncertain."

According to the report, J.P. Morgan itself will fund $75 million
of the revolving loan, Credit Suisse will put in $25 million, and
the rest will be syndicated to other lenders.  That process is
under way, the report quotes Kirkland & Ellis LLP's Ray C.
Schrock, an A&P lawyer, as saying.

The report relates that the money is a linchpin of A&P's
bankruptcy-exit proposal, a final hearing on which is set for next
month.  Judge Drain has approved a procedural motion that allows
A&P the exclusive right to file its own bankruptcy plan without
rival offers through the middle of June, just in case its current
proposal falls apart.

The report says Judge Drain also said A&P could close an
additional 14 of its stores, bringing the number of stores it has
closed or plans to close to near 50.  The company had more than
300 when it entered bankruptcy in late 2010.  Mr. Schrock said the
additional 14 stores weren't just underperforming, but also had
dim prospects of recovering.  Retail liquidation company Gordon
Brothers Group LLC will advise the company on the going-out-of-
business sales.

The report adds that A&P's restructuring plan, which is now in the
hands of creditors who will vote on it, is based on $490 million
debt and equity financing from a group led by supermarket mogul
Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Cos.  A&P's official committee of unsecured
creditors said it supports the plan, although some objections are
rolling in from other parties.  A&P's plan will repay secured
lenders in full, with some money left over for the unsecured
creditors.

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

proposed Chapter 11 plan.  On Dec. 20, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court
approved the adequacy of information in the disclosure statement
explaining the Plan.  The deadline for voting on the Plan was
Jan. 24, 2012.  A hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on the
confirmation of the Plan is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2012.

Notes, $200 Million 7.75% Senior Debentures and $250 Million 7.25%
Debentures each to Ba3, LGD5 -- 70% from B1, LGD5 -- 72%. The
upgrades reflect the company's improved operating performance and
credit metrics as well as management's stated strategy to reduce
leverage. Moody's also changed the rating outlook to stable from
positive. The company's $275 Million 8% Guaranteed Senior Notes
were affirmed at Ba1, LGD2 -- 23% and the Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating (SGL) is unchanged at SGL -- 2.

Outlook Actions:

   Issuer: Belo Corp.

   -- Outlook, Changed to Stable from Positive

RATINGS RATIONALE

Belo's Ba2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) is based on its
consistently leading market position in local broadcast television
that generates solid profit margins and good cash flow, as well as
management's focus on maintaining leverage below 4x. "Belo
generates the majority of its revenue from cyclical advertising
spending, but ratings are supported by its good liquidity position
that provides flexibility should the economy weaken again. Two-
year average debt-to-EBITDA ratios of approximately 4.4x estimated
for December 31, 2011 (including Moody's standard adjustments)
reflect consistent improvement, and Moody's believes debt-to-
EBITDA ratios will improve further given Moody's expectations for
significant political advertising demand in 2012 combined with
management's intentions to further reduce debt balances," stated
Carl Salas, Moody's VP and Senior Analyst. Ratings incorporate the
potential for Belo to gradually increase its cash distributions to
shareholders, but Moody's projects free cash flow will remain in
the mid to high-single digit range over the rating horizon with
the boost from Olympics and political revenue in 2012. Liquidity
is good with a $200 million extended revolver due 2016 and good
EBITDA cushion to financial maintenance covenants under the
revolver agreement.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Belo
will maintain 2-year average, debt-to-EBITDA ratios below 4.5x
(including Moody's standard adjustments) and 2-year average, mid-
single digit free cash flow-to-debt ratios. The outlook
incorporates the potential for Belo to increase its dividend
payout as operating performance improves and to fund a modest
level of share repurchases with excess cash. In the first half of
2011, Belo re-introduced a $0.05 quarterly dividend (approximately
$21 million annually).

Ratings could be downgraded if 2-year average debt-to-EBITDA
ratios are sustained above 4.5x (including Moody's standard
adjustments) due to operating weakness, acquisitions or cash
distributions to shareholders. Failure to maintain good liquidity
including a comfortable EBITDA cushion to financial covenants to
absorb a cyclical downturn in revenue could also result in a
downgrade. Ratings could be upgraded if management demonstrates a
commitment to balance debt holder returns with those of its
shareholders. Moody's also needs assurances that the company will
operate in a financially prudent manner consistent with a higher
rating including maintaining 2-year average debt -to-EBITDA ratios
below 3.0x, free cash flow-to-debt ratios in the low double digit
range or above, and good liquidity.

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

Belo Corp., headquartered in Dallas, TX, owns 20 television
stations (98% of FY 2010 revenue) and their associated websites in
15 markets reaching more than 14% of US television households. The
company's station affiliations include ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, and
MNTV in markets ranked #5 to #113 with nine in the top 25 markets.
Belo also owns two local and two regional cable news channels and
holds ownership interests in two other cable news channels(2% of
FY 2010 revenue). As of September 2011 and eliminating options not
likely to be exercised, Robert W. Decherd (non-executive
chairman), James M. Moroney III (director) and Dealey D. Herndon
(director) owned approximately 10% of the economic interest in the
company and control approximately 49% voting power through a dual
class share structure, with remaining shares being widely held.
The revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011, was
approximately $676 million.


BEYOND OBLIVION: Files for Chapter 11 in Manhattan
--------------------------------------------------
Beyond Oblivion Inc. filed a bare-bones Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-10282) on Jan. 24, 2012, in
Manhattan.

Beyond Oblivion, a New York-based digital music service provider,
estimated $100 million to $500 million in assets but just $1
million to $10 million in debts.

According to Reuters, Beyond Oblivion, a digital music startup
backed by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and investment bank Allen &
Co. director Snaley Shuman, filed for bankruptcy after spending
millions of dollars building a service that never saw the light of
day.

Beyond Oblivion aimed to compete with Apple Inc.'s iTunes.

Under its business plan, content providers were to be paid for
each download.  The Company would give away a limitless library of
digital music with devices that had the Beyond Oblivion software
pre-installed.  Such a plan would have had music licensing costs
running at tens of millions dollars even before it achieved any
scale, Reuters said.

The company raised $87 million from investors including News Corp.
and the Wellcome Trust.

The site filed for bankruptcy after it was unable to secure
financing even for an "orderly wind-down," according to court
papers.

Its two largest unsecured creditors were major music companies
Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group who are each owed
$50 million for certain "trade debt."

BONAVIA TIMBER: Hires Northwest Farm & Ranch as Appraiser
---------------------------------------------------------
Bonavia Timber Company LLC, fdba Pacific Northwest Tree Farms LLC,
asks permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Oregon to employ Northwest Farm & Ranch Appraisals LLC as
appraiser for the Debtor.

The Debtor expects that valuation of its properties including the
Ukiah, Meacham, and Cunha properties will be a significant issue
in its case.

The Debtor has agreed to compensate Northwest Farm at its rate of
$850 per day in accordance with Northwest Farm's ordinary and
customary rates.  The Northwest Farm professional who will be
responsible for providing these services is Robert Burns, CPA --
nwfarm@wtechlink.us

Northwest Farm has not provided any professional services to the
Debtor within the 12-month period preceding the Petition Date.

Mr. Burns attests that his firm is a "disinterested person" as the
term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

reassigned to Judge Randall L. Dunn from Judge Trish M. Brown.

estimated assets of $10 million to $50 million.


BUILDERS FIRSTSOURCE: S&P Affirms 'CCC' Corporate Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its corporate credit
rating on Dallas-based Builders FirstSource Inc. "At the same
time, we lowered our issue-level rating on the company's unsecured
notes to 'CC' from 'CCC-' and revised our recovery rating to '6'
from '5' to reflect diminished recovery prospects given a higher
level of first-lien obligations. The '6' recovery rating indicates
our expectation for a negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event
of a payment default," S&P said.

"The rating on Builders FirstSource reflects our assessment of the
company's business risk profile as 'vulnerable' and its financial
risk profile as 'highly leveraged' (as our criteria define these
terms)," S&P said.

"Our vulnerable business risk opinion acknowledges that the
company's revenues are down nearly 70% from their cyclical peak.
Recent sales improved modestly off of deep lows, but we do not
anticipate a more-robust recovery until 2013 at the earliest,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst James Fielding. "Our highly
leveraged financial risk assessment reflects a heavy debt burden
that was exacerbated by a new secured term loan. However, the cash
proceeds from the new loan provided the company much needed
financial flexibility, such that we now view its liquidity profile
to be adequate despite our expectation for operating cash flow
deficits over the next 12 months."

"Builders FirstSource appears to be on track to generate $730
million to $740 million of revenue in fiscal 2011, up modestly
from $700 million in 2010 but down substantially from a peak of
more than $2.3 billion in 2005. The company has significantly
downsized its production capacity and overhead structure but, in
our view, is still likely to generate about $20 million of
negative adjusted EBITDA for the year. However, this marks an
improvement over a $37 million adjusted EBITDA deficit in fiscal
2010," S&P said.

"Our baseline scenario for 2012 assumes that U.S. housing starts
improve by about 17% and that Builders FirstSource's revenues
improve 20% as the company gains market share because several of
its competitors have downsized or exited the business entirely. We
expect negligible EBITDA under this scenario and for leverage to
remain very high (at about 100% of total capital). Assuming the
company preserves sufficient liquidity to continue to fund working
capital needs, EBITDA could increase more significantly (close to
$30 million) in 2013, when we expect a larger 29% jump in U.S.
housing starts. However, under this scenario EBITDA is still
unlikely to fully cover an estimated $37 million of annual
interest expense," S&P said.

"The negative rating outlook reflects our opinion that the
extremely difficult operating conditions for Builders FirstSource
won't meaningfully abate until 2013 at the earliest. We would
lower our rating if conditions don't improve gradually in the
interim and the company posts larger-than-anticipated cash flow
deficits, so that its cash balance approaches the $35 million
minimum covenant threshold," Mr. Fielding continued. "In our
opinion, an upgrade is unlikely in the next 12 months unless
operating conditions improve much more quickly than we anticipate
and the company obtains sufficient liquidity to fund higher
working capital needs commensurate with significantly higher than
currently anticipated sales."


BYSYNERGY LLC: Case Converted to Chapter 7
------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona has
converted BySynergy LLC's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case to one under
Chapter 7, and directed the Debtor to file documents, including a
schedule of unpaid debts incurred during the Chapter 11
proceeding; amended schedules listing assets as of the date of
conversion to Chapter 7; and a final report and account to include
an accounting of all assets listed in the Chapter 11 schedules and
a complete inventory of all assets remaining at the time of
conversion.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 14 will convene a meeting of BySynergy
LLC's creditors on Jan. 27, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., at U.S. Trustee
Meeting Room, City Council Chambers, 201 South Cortez, Prescott,
Arizona.

Creditors are required to file their proofs of claim not later
than April 26, 2012 (except for a government unit) and May 28,
2012 for a government unit.

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.

C&M RUSSELL: Hires Coldwell Banker as Broker
--------------------------------------------
C & M Russell LLC seeks permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Central District of California to employ Coldwell Banker
to act as the Debtor's real estate broker.

The Debtor desires to sell these two residential apartment
buildings:

  Address                                      Listing Price
  -------                                      -------------
  2120 Vanderbilt Avenue, Redondo Beach,
  California ("2120")                             $1,650,000

  2722 Vanderbilt Avenue,
  Redondo Beach, California ("2722")              $2,500,000

The Debtor believes that the sale of the two properties is in the
best interest of the Estate as the net revenue derived from these
properties is, and likely will continue to be, insufficient to
service the debt presently encumbering the properties.

The Broker has not received a retainer. Pursuant to the terms
contained in the parties' Listing Agreements, the Broker will be
entitled to a 5% commission for each of the Properties.  The sales
are subject to Court approval and closing of the sales.

Bill Slimming, an agent of Coldwell Banker, attests that the firm
is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

CARBON ENERGY: Opposes Case Conversion or Trustee Appointment
-------------------------------------------------------------
Carbon Energy Holdings, Inc., and Carbon Energy Reserve Inc., ask
the Bankruptcy Court to deny the motion filed by Beartooth Land
Company, LP, for an order converting their Chapter 11 cases to
cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or, in the
alternative directing the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee.
The Debtors aver that the Motion is premature and is not supported
by the facts of this case.

Carbon Energy's only asset of significance is its ownership
interest in Debtor CER, which in turn owns certain real property
and a large deposit of coal located on approximately 8,200
contiguous acres of real property in Carbon County, Montana.

As previously reported by the TCR on Dec. 27, 2011, Beartooth Land
relates the Debtors' controlling shareholders and management
remain in a deadlock, and the Debtors are unable to move the
Chapter 11 cases forward and realize any return for Debtors'
constituents.  Beartooth Land asserts that it is in the best
interests of all parties-in-interest to have an independent
trustee appointed to liquidate the Debtors' assets.  Beartooth
Land has offered to purchase the Debtors' sole asset for a gross
purchase price of $15 million.

The Debtors denied Beartooth's allegation that they are not moving
their bankruptcy cases forward.  The Debtors said they have been
diligently trying to complete the required financial reports and
produce a plan of reorganization.

"All parties are aware of the delays in this case, including the
dispute over control of the Company, the self-interested and
debilitating actions of the Beartooth and the Former Managers, and
the delay caused by Debtor being forced to subpoena financial
records in order to complete necessary reports.  Debtor has been
actively and diligently attempting to comply with the chapter 11
requirements in an effort to maximize value for Debtor,
shareholders, and creditors."

Contrary to Beartooth's assertions, the Debtors argue that the
only way to maximize value for their property is to obtain the
highest and best offer for the Coal Rights, adding that
"Beartooth's only interest in this case is to obtain the property
as cheaply as possible."

CDC CORP: U.S. Trustee Appeals Denial of Chapter 11 Trustee
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that even though CDC Corp. turned virtually all corporate
authority over to a chief restructuring officer, the U.S. Trustee
in Atlanta wasn't satisfied.  This week, the bankruptcy watchdog
for the Justice Department filed an appeal from the order of the
bankruptcy court authorizing the chief restructuring officer's
appointment in lieu of a Chapter 11 trustee.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that CDC was confronted in December with
motions by a creditor and the U.S. Trustee for appointment of a
Chapter 11 trustee.  To fend off the effort, CDC agreed with
everyone aside from the U.S. Trustee in late December on the
selection of a chief restructuring officer to exercise almost all
the powers that would vest in a Chapter 11 trustee, along with
those that otherwise would remain with the board and corporate
officers.  The judge also ruled that CDC's exclusive right to file
a Chapter 11 plan will end on Jan. 31, at the latest.

According to Mr. Rochelle, the U.S. Trustee nonetheless filed an
appeal, contending it was improper on the facts not to impose a
Chapter 11 trustee.

CEDAR FAIR: S&P Puts 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Positive
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings, including
its 'B+' corporate credit rating, on Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar
Fair L.P on CreditWatch with positive implications.

"The CreditWatch listing follows the company's recent preliminary
guidance with respect to performance in 2011. In addition, Cedar
Fair's new management team provided a greater level of clarity
with respect to its financial policy, including the company's
outlook regarding distribution levels and its goals with respect
to leverage," S&P said.

"We believe that the company's recent strong performance, in
conjunction with the financial policy details articulated in the
company's public investor presentation, positions Cedar Fair to
maintain leverage below 4.5x over the long term," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Ariel Silverberg, "a level we believe would
support a higher rating given our assessment of Cedar Fair's
business risk profile as 'fair' (as defined in our criteria). As
of Dec. 31, 2011, we estimate adjusted leverage and interest
coverage were around 4.3x and 2.5x."

"In resolving the CreditWatch listing, we will update our longer
term forecast for Cedar Fair, incorporating the company's guidance
on distribution policy and target leverage, and consider its
ability to maintain leverage below 4.5x. We would view this level
of leverage as in line with a higher rating, given our assessment
of Cedar Fair's business risk profile as fair. We believe a
potential upgrade would likely be limited to one notch and expect
to resolve the CreditWatch within the next few weeks," S&P said.

CHESTER DOWNS: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating to $315-Mil. Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Chester Downs
and Marina, LLC's proposed $315 million senior secured notes due
2020. Moody's affirmed Chester's B3 Corporate Family Rating and
will withdraw the B3 rating of its senior secured term loan once
the transaction closes and the debt is extinguished. At the same
time, Chester's Probability of Default Rating was upgraded to B2
from B3. The rating outlook is stable.

Ratings assigned:

Proposed $315 million senior secured notes due 2020 at B3 (LGD 4,
67%)

Rating affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating at B3

Rating upgraded:

Probability of Default Rating to B2 from B3

Rating affirmed and to be withdrawn at close of the transaction:

$230 million first lien term loan at B3 (LGD 4, 52%)

RATINGS RATIONALE

Chester intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering
to repay its existing first lien term loan and to pay an
approximate $72 million dividend to its parent, Caesars
Entertainment Operating Company, Inc.

The affirmation of Chester's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects
its small size, single property concentration risk, and high
leverage (pro-forma debt/EBITDA about 4.7x) relative to the
company's scale and limited diversification. Additionally, Chester
could face additional competition in 2013, if a nearby competitor
(SugarHouse) decides to move forward with the approved expansion
of its existing facility. Moody's ratings also consider the above
average population density and propensity to gamble of Chester's
primary market area -- Philadelphia. The Philadelphia market
quickly absorbed table games that generate a high win per unit per
day relative to other areas of Pennsylvania.

Chester is expected to generate positive free cash flow as its
capital spending declines. However, pursuant to the proposed bond
terms Chester has the ability to make more distributions to its
parent and repurchase 10% of its outstanding notes each year for
the first three years. Given the company's distribution history,
Moody's expects it is more likely Chester will make further
distributions to Caesars. As a result, Moody's does not expect
Chester to build significant levels of cash.

The upgrade to Chester's Probability of Default Rating to B2 --
one notch above the Corporate Family Rating -- reflects a change
in the company's expected recovery rate to 35% from 50% as a
result of the proposed change to an all bond capital structure, in
accordance with Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that Chester's
EBITDA growth will moderate in 2012 given anemic macro-economic
conditions, and the absence of new growth catalysts, such as
additional slot positions.

A higher rating would require the company to improve and sustain
debt to EBITDA to below 4.0 times and EBIT to interest to above
1.5 times. Downward rating pressure could arise if debt to EBITDA
increases above 5.5 times or if EBIT to interest drops below 1.0
times and appear likely to remain at depressed levels.

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

Chester Downs and Marina, L.L.C. is an indirect, non-wholly owned
subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (Caa2/Stable). Chester
operates a 92,000 square foot racetrack casino located in Chester,
PA, approximately 15 miles southwest of Philadelphia. The property
features slots machines, table games and a harness race track. The
company generates approximately $375 million of net revenue
annually.

owed $17.3 million.  Unsecured creditors, owed a combined $81,000,
would be paid off in equal installments over five years.


CLEARWIRE COMMS: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating to Note Offering
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Clearwire
Communications LLC's new $300 million first lien senior secured
note offering. As part of the rating action, Moody's affirmed the
Company's Caa2 corporate family rating, Caa3 probability of
default rating, and SGL-4 speculative grade liquidity rating. The
outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"Clearwire's note offering, in addition to the common equity
recently raised, provides the Company with much-needed capital to
begin its deployment of LTE as well as to cover its high fixed
costs," stated Moody's Senior Vice President, Dennis Saputo.
Moody's estimates that Clearwire's annual fixed costs (excluding
any LTE investment or further WiMAX expansion) total over $1.2
Billion, including minimum lease payments ($400M), spectrum lease
payments ($170M), interest expense ($475M, before additional
interest expense) and maintenance capex ($200M, Moody's estimate).
Clearwire has stated that an LTE overlay of their existing WiMAX
footprint will cost about $600M. Moody's anticipates Clearwire
will require additional funding sometime in the second half of
2012. This additional funding could be raised through the sale of
spectrum, vendor financing or additional debt and/or equity.

The company released preliminary 4Q'11 results. Clearwire
estimates that 4Q'11 adjusted EBITDA is positive due to a
combination of subscriber growth and considerable cost reductions
in cash operating expenses. The company also estimates that cash
and cash equivalents and investments were approximately $1.11B as
of December 31, 2011.

"Recent actions, including an improvement in relations with Sprint
and Clearwire's cost reduction actions taken last year, are
positive steps. However, Clearwire must still execute and deploy a
robust LTE network that will attract additional wholesale
customers," continued Saputo. Clearwire's efforts to broaden its
wholesale customer base were dealt a blow last month when Verizon
Wireless announced it had reached wholesale service and
distribution agreements with Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and
Bright House Networks. Although the cable networks represent a
small portion of Clearwire's current revenues, their alignment
with Verizon Wireless (with which they compete) in favor of
Clearwire (in which they own an equity stake) is representative of
the competitive challenge facing Clearwire. "With the departure of
the cable companies, Clearwire is now even more reliant upon
Sprint," concluded Saputo.

Clearwire's speculative grade liquidity (SGL) rating of SGL-4
reflects the company's cash burn rate, the lack of a revolving
credit facility and its inevitable need for new capital within
twelve months, despite the debt and equity offerings and an
agreement by Sprint to pay Clearwire about $620M for unlimited
WiMAX 4G services in 2012.

Clearwire's ratings could be raised if the company were to secure
the funding necessary to deploy a nationwide 4G network.

Clearwire's ratings could be lowered if the company is unable to
secure the funding necessary to deploy a nationwide 4G network.

Moody's has taken these rating actions:

   Issuer: Clearwire Communications LLC

   -- $300 Million Senior Secured 1st Lien Notes due 2017,
      Assigned B3 (LGD2 -- 19%)

   -- $2.695 Billion Senior Secured 1st Lien Notes due 2015, B3
      (LGD2 -- 19%) from B3 (LGD2 -- 17%)

   -- $500 Million Senior Secured 2nd Lien Notes due 2017, Caa3
      (LGD4 -- 57%) from Caa3 (LGD4 -- 54%)

The principal methodology used in rating Clearwire was the Global
Telecommunications Industry Methodology, published December 2010.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative Grade Issuers in the US, Canada, and EMEA, published
June 2009 (and/or the Government-Related Issuers methodology,
published July 2010).


COACH AMERICA: Requires Loan to Pay Professional Fees
-----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Coach America Holdings Inc. projects it will need to
borrow $24.4 million on the $30 million in financing being
provided for the Chapter 11 reorganization that began Jan. 3.  In
2012, Coach predicts it will generate receipts of $483.8 million,
before drawing the bank credit.  During the year, the company
expects to make operating disbursements of $439.3 million and pay
capital expense of $40.5 million.  The need to draw on the credit
results in significant part from a projected $19.2 million in
professional costs stemming from the bankruptcy reorganization.
There will be another $9.1 million in what the company called
"Chapter 11 Relief Payments," according to a report filed with the
bankruptcy court in Delaware.

Mr. Rochelle notes that the sufficiency of the Chapter 11 loan
depends on the ability to increase revenue to a high of $48
million in May, compared with $28.2 million this month. If
operations match the projection, 2012 would end with $26.3 million
owing on the Chapter 11 credit.  Coach already has interim
authority to borrow $14.8 million from some of the first-lien
lenders.  At a final financing hearing Jan. 27, the loan is
scheduled to increase to $30 million.

COLOWYO COAL: Moody's Raises Bond Rating to 'A2' From 'B1'
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's upgraded Colowyo Coal Funding's (CC Funding) bonds due
2016 to A2 from B1.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The multi notch rating upgrade is based on the unconditional
payment guarantee from Tri State Generation and Transmission
Association (Tri State) and Tri State's credit quality (Baa1
issuer rating). The rating also reflects the 2016 bond's strong
collateral since these bonds have been economically defeased
according to the indenture except for the 95-day waiting period.
As part of the defeasance, Tri State has deposited treasury notes
into an irrevocable trust for the benefit of the indenture
trustee. The treasury notes are unconditional obligations of the
United States of America. Proceeds from these deposits will be
used solely to make the remaining payments of principal and
interest on CC Funding's bonds due 2016.

On or about March 24, 2012, all conditions to the economic
defeasance shall have been met and the project finance protections
will be released except for the defeasance related assets and CC
Funding and Tri State's obligation to pay.

The stable outlook on CC Funding reflects the stable outlook on
Tri State and the rating outlook on CC Funding could be positively
or negatively affected if Tri-State's credit quality improves or
weakens, respectively.

The last rating action was in August 31, 2010 when CC Funding was
downgraded to B1 from Ba3.

The principal methodology used in this rating was U.S. Electric
Generation & Transmission Cooperatives published in December 2009.

Colowyo Coal Funding Corp. (CC Funding) is a special purpose
funding corporation and a subsidiary of Colowyo Coal Company LP,
which is 99% indirectly owned by Tri State Generation and
Transmission Association, Inc.

CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION: Files for Ch. 11 Bankruptcy Protection
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Bagley at Triangle Business Journal reports that
Construction Supervision Services Inc. filed on Jan. 24, 2012, for
bankruptcy reorganization, due in part to a liquidity crunch that
gummed up what was still a growing business.  The Company listed
$8.2 million in assets and $8.98 million in debts.

The report says, despite the bankruptcy, Construction Supervision
Services has reported recent revenue growth.  Revenue increased
from about $10 million in 2007 to $19.2 million in 2010.  Last
year, that figure grew to $25.9 million.

The report relates that company President Jeremy Spivey said banks
have tightened the lines of credit that the company uses for day-
to-day operations.  For example, when determining how much to lend
to a construction firm, banks have begun to ignore what's known in
the industry as "retainage," Mr. Spivey said.  Retainage is the
final payment for a job, which a developer withholds until it is
100% complete.

The report says the company's largest creditors include the
federal government, owed $1 million; BB&T bank, with an $800,000
claim; and a wide range of trade creditors, including a half-dozen
with claims of more than $200,000.

Construction Supervision Services Inc. specializes in grading and
underground utilities work.

DERECKTOR SHIPYARDS: Returns to Chapter 11 With Plan to Sell
------------------------------------------------------------
Rob Varnon at ctpost.com reports that Derecktor Shipyards has
submitted a new Chapter 11 petition as it tries to find an
investor or sell its Bridgeport operation.  The report notes the
Company exited from a prior bankruptcy four months ago.

"The Port Authority has taken steps in recent weeks to secure
physical control of the shipyard and protect the assets," the
report quotes Acting Port Authority Director Andrew Nunn as
saying.  "We are exploring a number of potentially very productive
future uses for the Bridgeport Regional Maritime complex, but we
are not in a position to provide the details at this time.
Further, when the assets of Derecktor are liquidated, we
anticipate full recovery."

According to the report, Derecktor said the case does not involve
or affect its New York and Florida operations, which are seeing
business return following the recession.  The Bridgeport operation
was hampered by a weak economy and a lack of funds, company
officials said.  It is also facing a number of lawsuits, including
one claiming the parent company owed a former customer $12 million
over a lending agreement made while Derecktor build the Cakewalk
V, the largest yacht built in America since the 1930s.

The report relates that James Berman, Derecktor's head of business
development, said the other lawsuits have nothing to do with the
bankruptcy case and it was the economy and the lack of available
funds that hurt the Bridgeport operation.  He said the company has
heard from interested investors and it would not be out of the
question for the company to continue to have a presence in
Connecticut.

Derecktor filed its Chapter 11 petition on July 18, 2008 (Bankr.
D. Conn. Case No. 08-50643).  The Debtor disclosed assets of
between $10 million and $50 million and debts of between $10
million and $50 million in schedules filed in the 2008 case.

Debtor: Derecktor Shipyards Conn., LLC, returned to Chapter 11
(Bankr. D. Conn. Case No. 12-50103), on Jan. 20, 2012, estimating
$1 million to $10 million in assets and liabilities.

James Berman, Esq., at Zeisler and Zeisler, has been serving as
counsel since the previous bankruptcy case.

DS WATERS: S&P Puts 'CCC+' Corporate Rating on Watch Positive
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'CCC+' corporate
credit rating on Atlanta, Ga.-based DS Waters of America Inc. on
CreditWatch with positive implications, meaning the ratings could
either be raised or affirmed following the completion of its
review.

"At the same time, we assigned our 'B' issue-level rating to the
company's proposed $465 million senior secured credit facility.
The proposed senior secured credit facility comprises a 5.5 year
$390 million first-lien senior secured term loan and a 5.5 year
$75 million first-lien delayed draw term loan. The recovery rating
on this debt is '3', indicating our expectation for meaningful
(50% to 70%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default. We expect proceeds from the term loans to be used to
repay existing debt and fund a potential acquisition. The new
issue-level ratings are not on CreditWatch but are dependent on a
successful completion of the company's proposed recapitalization
transaction, and are subject to a review of final documentation by
Standard & Poor's," S&P said.

"Following the successful completion of this recapitalization, we
anticipate raising the corporate credit rating two notches, to
'B'," S&P said.

"The ratings on the company's existing $180 million senior secured
term loan due October 2012 remain unchanged and are not on
CreditWatch, and will be withdrawn upon closing of the new senior
secured credit facilities," S&P said.

"DS Waters' CreditWatch placement reflects our belief that
following the completion of the company's proposed
recapitalization, DS Waters will have an improved maturity
profile, a stronger balance sheet, and adequate liquidity,
including financial covenant cushion of at least 20%," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Rick Joy. "The company plans to
use proceeds from its proposed $390 million first-lien senior
secured term loan due 2017, along with balance sheet cash to repay
its $180 million senior secured term loan ($162 million
outstanding) due October 2012 and the $300 million Holdco term
loan due April 2012 (not rated). The company is also pursuing an
acquisition of a direct-delivery provider of beverages and related
products, to be funded from the proposed $75 million first-lien
delayed draw term loan due 2017. In addition, the company's
recapitalization plan also includes exchanging approximately $421
million of new Participating Perpetual Preferred Equity for
$421 million of payment-in-kind (PIK) notes due March 2012 (not
rated) which are held by the company's preferred equity holders,"
S&P said.

"We intend to resolve the CreditWatch listing when DS Waters
completes the proposed recapitalization transaction. At that time
we expect to assign a 'B' corporate credit rating based upon terms
of the currently proposed recapitalization. If the company does
not complete the proposed refinancing and balance sheet
recapitalization, we would withdraw the new issue-level ratings
for the proposed refinancing, and reevaluate the direction of the
CreditWatch listing given the substantial near-term debt
maturities that would remain at DS Waters," S&P related.

compared with a net loss of $59.13 million on $52.24 million of
revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$271.17 million in total assets, $376.85 million in total
liabilities, $156.56 million in redeemable convertible preferred
stock, and a $262.24 million total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 27, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Dune Energy Inc.
to 'SD' (selective default) from 'CC'.

"The rating actions follow the company's announcement that it has
completed the exchange offer for its 10.5% senior notes due 2012,
which we consider a distressed exchange and tantamount to a
default," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephen Scovotti.
"Holders of $297 million of principle amount of the senior secured
notes exchanged their 10.5% senior secured notes for common stock,
which in the aggregate constitute 97.0% of Dune's common stock
post-restructuring, and approximately $49.5 million of newly
issued floating rate senior secured notes due 2016.  We consider
the completion of such an exchange to be a distressed exchange
and, as such, tantamount to a default under our criteria."

In the Jan. 2, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
revised Dune Energy, Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to
Caa3/LD from Ca following the closing of the debt exchange offer
of the company's 10.5% secured notes.  Simultaneously, Moody's
upgraded the Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to Caa3 reflecting
Dune's less onerous post-exchange capital structure and affirmed
the Ca rating on the secured notes.  The revision of the PDR
reflects Moody's view that the exchange transaction constitutes a
distressed exchange.  Moody's will remove the LD (limited default)
designation in two days, change the PDR to Caa3, and withdraw all
ratings.

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on Jan. 4, 2012, that the

brokerage companies in the United States, with operations and
assets located in at least 11 states.  ELC was headquartered in
New Albany, Indiana, with branch locations across several states.
It shut operations in November 2010.

On Dec. 6, 2010, creditors David L. Rings, Southeast Livestock
Exchange, LLC, and Moseley Cattle Auction, LLC, filed an
involuntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case No.
10-93904) for the Company.  The creditors asserted $1.45 million
in claims for "cattle sold," and are represented by Greenebaum
Doll & McDonald PLLC.  The Court entered an Order for Relief on
Dec. 28, 2010.  Judge Basil H. Lorch III, at the behest of the
creditors, appointed a trustee to operate Eastern Livestock's
business.  The Chapter 11 trustee has tapped James M. Carr, Esq.,
at Baker & Daniels LLP, as counsel and Katz, Sapper & Miller, LLP,
as accountants.  BMC Group Inc. is the claims and notice agent.
The Debtor has disclosed $81,237,865 in assets and $40,154,698 in
papers filed in Court.

An affiliate, East-West Trucking Co., LLC, filed a Chapter 7
petition (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case No. 10-93799) on Nov. 23, 2010,

Gibson's Chapter 7 case, tapped Dale & Eke, P.C., as counsel.


EASTERN LIVESTOCK: Trustee Wants to Tap Phillip Kunkel as Mediator
------------------------------------------------------------------
James A. Knauer, the Chapter 11 trustee for Eastern Livestock Co.,
LLC, asks Judge Basil H. Lorch of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Indiana for permission to employ Phillip
L. Kunkel as standing mediator.

Specifically, the Trustee wants to employ the Mediator to serve as
a "standing" mediator to mediate matters, issues or disputes that
the Trustee and one or more parties may choose to submit to
mediation.  The Trustee has discussed his interest in creating a
mechanism by which the Trustee and parties may voluntarily mediate
certain of the disputes and claims in the case.

The National Cattlemen's Beef Association recommended the
Mediator to the Trustee based upon the Mediator's experience with
the industry and with the bankruptcy issues.

The Mediator is a principal at the law firm of Gray, Plant &
Mooty, LLC, and is experienced in agriculture-related
bankruptcies, having served as a trustee in bankruptcy cases
involving debtors involved in the cattle industry.

The Trustee selected the Mediator because the Mediator is
experienced and is well-qualified to serve as a mediator with
respect to issues that parties are likely to want to mediate.

Mr. Kunkel assures the Court he does not hold or represent an
interest adverse to the estate on the matters on which he is to be
employed. The Mediator has disclosed that he or other members of
his firm have advised the NCBA regarding the Debtor's chapter 11
case and its potential impact on the beef industry and has further
disclosed that such representation may continue with respect to
unrelated matters. The NCBA has not filed a proof of claim and the
Trustee does not believe that the NCBA is a creditor in the
Debtor's case and is adverse to the estate. Regardless, the
Mediator will not be asked to mediate any disputes to which the
NCBA is a party unless the Mediator obtains all necessary
consents.  The Trustee believes that the Mediator is therefore
"disinterested," as that term is defined by the Bankruptcy Code.

The mediator's services will be billed at an hourly rate of $500
per hour; travel time will be billed at an hourly rate of $250 per
hour. All reasonable out of pocket expenses of the mediator will
also be reimbursed. The mediator may use associates or paralegals
with Gray Plant Mooty, the mediator's firm, to assist the mediator
with the organization of documents, review of mediation
submissions, research, and drafting documents for the mediator.
Associates will be billed at an hourly rate of $250; paralegals
will be billed at an hourly rate of $160.

The Trustee will pay one-half of the mediator's fees and expenses;
any party requesting mediation will pay one-half of the mediator's
fees and expenses. Any party requesting mediation will pay to the
mediator an advance mediation fee of $5,500 at the time they
request mediation. All fees and expenses will be paid within 15
days of the completion of the mediation and upon submission by the
mediator of an itemized invoice to counsel for the parties.

EASTERN LIVESTOCK: Okie Seeks Dismissal of Own Bankruptcy Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
Okie Farms, L.L.C., asks Judge Basil H. Lorch of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana to dismiss
its bankruptcy case, which is jointly administered with the
bankruptcy case of Eastern Livestock Co., LLC.

Okie has no creditors and no business operations. Since June 20,
2003, and at all times thereafter, Eastern Livestock Co., LLC, has
owned all of the membership interests in Okie.  Okie's only assets
at Dec. 8, 2011, were its ownership interests in Cattlemen's
Feedlot, Ltd., and Cattlemen's Feedlot Management Company, LLC.

Okie filed the Okie Chapter 11 Case on Dec. 8, 2011, in order to
close on the sale of the Interests and maximize the value of the
Interests for ELC as Okie's sole owner.  Okie filed a Motion To
Approve Sale Agreement And Compromise Of Claims Concerning
Cattlemen's Feedlot, Ltd., requesting that the Court 1) approve a
Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement for the sale of the
Interests; 2) authorize Okie to execute the Sale Agreement and
sell the Interests free and clear of all liens, claims, interests
and encumbrances pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
3) authorize James A. Knauer, as chapter 11 trustee, and Okie to
take actions to settle and release certain claims that Okie and
the Trustee may have had against certain parties as provided in
the Sale Agreement; and 4) authorize Okie and the Trustee to cause
the sale proceeds resulting from the sale of the Interests to be
dividended from Okie to ELC's estate subject to a security
interest in favor of Fifth Third Bank.

The Court approved the Sale Motion and the transaction closed on
January 6, 2012.  Okie dividended the sale proceeds to ELC on
January 9, 2012.

Okie has no remaining assets and no creditors.  Continued
prosecution of the Okie Chapter 11 Case would not benefit any
party, Okie's counsel says.

FILENE'S BASEMENT: Court OKs PwC as Committee's Financial Advisor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware authorized
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Filene's
Basement, LLC, et al., to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its
financial advisor.  The firm's rates are:

    Personnel                  Hourly Billing Rate
    ---------                  -------------------
   Partner/Principal                 $789
   Director/Senior Manager        $557 to $607
   Manager                           $494
   Senior Associate                  $410
   Associate                         $347
   Secretarial                        $95

               About Filene's Basement & Syms Corp.

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

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

Filene's Basement, Inc. and its affiliates filed for Chapter 22
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-11525) on May 4, 2009, represented by
lawyers at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP.  Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions serves as claims and notice agent.  The Debtors
disclosed assets of $236 million, including real estate of $97.7
million, and liabilities of $94 million, including $31.1 million
owing on a revolving credit with Bank of America NA as agent. In
addition, there were $11.1 million in letters of credit
outstanding on the revolver.

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

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

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

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

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

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

FILENE'S BASEMENT: Wins Approval of Retention Bonus Program
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Syms Corp. and subsidiary Filene's Basement LLC
received approval from the bankruptcy judge this week for a
$650,000 bonus program to retain the few workers required to wind
down the business.  Management-level workers are eligible for a
bonus equal to a month-and-a-half salary for every three months
working on the liquidation, assuming the worker remains with the
company as long as needed.  Non-management workers would qualify
for a bonus of one month's salary for every three months of
remaining employment.

Meanwhile, Carolina Bolado at Bankruptcy Law360 has reported that
creditors and equity holders of Filene's Basement objected to
planned payments to two investment banks and two law firms,
including Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, calling them
unnecessary given the company's stated goal of liquidation.  In
two objections filed in Delaware bankruptcy court, the committees
for unsecured creditors and equity holders said there is no need
to pay the $250,000 in monthly fees proposed for financial adviser
Rothschild Inc. and real estate consultants Cushman & Wakefield
Securities Inc.  The Jan. 13 and 14 editions of the Troubled
Company Reporter reported Filene's requests to employ Cushman &
Wakefield, Skadden and Rothschild.

                         About Syms Corp.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Syms and Filene's completed going-out-of-business sales at all
stores by the end of December 2011.

substantial doubt about GameTech International, Inc.'s ability to

additional capital necessary to execute its business plan.

H&H BAGELS: Owner Looks for Investors as Closure Looms
------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that the owner of the once-
dominant H&H Bagels empire, which is on the brink of losing its
final property, said he is confident the business will survive
despite its financial struggles.  H&H Bagels is a bakery on New
York's Upper West Side.

Meanwhile, Phyllis Furman at New York Daily News, citing report
from the Wall Street Journal, says a bankruptcy trustee has moved
to evict H&H Bagels from its only remaining space on W. 46th St.
in New York.

According to the Daily News report, H&H owner Helmer Toro said he
is currently scouting for a new site on the Upper West Side. He
has also maneuvered in court to temporarily halt H&H's eviction
from its current location.

The report adds that the company was forced to shutter its fabled
Upper West Side store on W. 80th St. and Broadway, and its New
Jersey manufacturing plant.

H&H Bagels makes bagel.


HART STORES: Creditors to Get $6MM Under Restructuring Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Canadian Press reports that insolvent Hart Stores Inc. said
its creditors will be paid a total of $6 million over three years
under its court-supervised restructuring plan is approved -- a
small fraction of what they've claimed.

The news agency relates that the department store retailer, which
has said it owes $56.1 million to creditors including $1.8 million
to governments, said the Quebec Superior Court has granted an
order authorizing Hart Stores to file the plan of arrangement.

The court also extended the company's protection under the
Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act to March 14, 2012, according
to the report.

The report says the restructuring plan will allow creditors to
elect to receive their proportionate share of the $6 million or a
lump-sum payment equal to the lesser of the value of their claim
or $1,000.

A vote by creditors will likely be held at a meeting in February,
the report notes.

The Canadian Press relates that the company also said it has
signed a deal with CIBC for a secured credit facility of up to
$25 million.  The new credit facility will replace Hart Stores'
existing credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance Corp.
Canada, the report adds.

Hart Stores has 88 mid-sized department stores of which 28 have
been slated for closure in early this year, says the Canadian
Press.

                       About Hart Stores

Founded in Rosemere, Quebec, Hart Stores Inc. operates a network
of 92 mid-sized department stores under the Hart, Bargain Giant
and Geant des Aubaines banners.  The stores are located in
secondary and tertiary markets throughout Eastern Canada where the
Company has established a dominant position in many of the
communities that it serves.  The stores offer an extensive and
differentiated selection of national and exclusive fashion apparel
brands as well as family footwear, home furnishings, giftware,
toys and seasonal goods.

In August 2011, Hart Stores disclosed that in order to restructure
its operations, it obtained an Initial Order from the Quebec
Superior Court under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act
(Canada).   RSM Richter Inc. has been appointed monitor pursuant
to the initial order.


HEARUSA INC: Seeks More 'Exclusivity,' Says Plan is Near
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that HearUSA Inc. for a fourth time is requesting an
expansion of the exclusive right to propose a liquidating Chapter
11 plan.  The company says it's "working collaboratively" with the
creditors' committee and is "close to finalizing and filing" the
plan and explanatory disclosure statement.  The hearing on the
exclusivity motion will take place Jan. 26.  The filing of the
plan is being held up by "various tax-related disclosures" and
efforts to settle several claims.

                        About HearUSA Inc.

HearUSA, Inc., which sells hearing aids in 10 states, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
11-23341) on May 16, 2011, to sell the business for $80 million to
William Demant Holdings A/S.  The Debtor said that assets are
$65.6 million against debt of $64.7 million as of March 31, 2010.
HearUSA owes $31.3 million to Siemens Hearing Instruments Inc.,
the principal supplier and primary secured lender.

Judge Erik P. Kimball presides over the case.  Brian K. Gart,
Esq., Paul Steven Singerman, Esq., and Debi Evans Galler, Esq., at
Berger Singerman, P.A., represent the Debtor.  The Debtor has
tapped Bryan Cave LLP as special counsel; Sonenshine Partners LLC,
investment banker; Development Specialist Inc., restructuring
advisor ans Joseph J. Luzinski as chief restructuring officer; and
AlixPartners LLC, as communications consultant.  Trustee Services,
Inc., serves as claims and notice agent.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has been appointed
in the case.  Robert Paul Charbonneau, Esq., and Daniel L. Gold,
Esq., at Ehrenstein Charbonneau Calderin, represent the Creditors
Committee.

An Official Committee of Equity Security Holders has also been
appointed.   Mark D. Bloom, Esq., at Greenberg Traurig P.A., in
Miami, Fla., represents the Equity committee as counsel.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved on Aug. 17, 2011, the sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company to Audiology
Distribution, LLC, a wholly owed subsidiary of Siemens Hearing
Instruments, Inc., which submitted the highest and best bid for
the assets in the July 29, 2011 auction pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Section 363.  The purchase price is estimated to be roughly $109
million and comprised of $66.8 million in cash plus certain
assumed liabilities -- which includes repayment or assumption of
the $10 million DIP financing provided by the stalking horse
bidder, William Demant Holdings A/S -- plus the payment of cure
costs for assumed contracts, and the assumption of various
liabilities of the company.

On Sept. 9, 2011, the sale closed.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the Asset Purchase Agreement, on Sept. 13, 2011, the Company filed
a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State in order to
change its name to "HUSA Liquidating Corporation".  The
Certificate of Amendment was effective on the date of filing.

Siemens paid a high enough price at auction so money would be left
over for shareholders, according to court filings.  The stock,
which was mostly trading in the vicinity of 40 cents a share
during bankruptcy, more than doubled after the results of the
auction were disclosed.


HORIZON VILLAGE: Wants Plan Exclusivity Until March 9

District of Nevada for permission to employ Keith Harper of
Valuation Consultants to provide valuation services in response to
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s objection to the confirmation of Debtor's

HOSPITAL DAMAS: Seeks To Extend Use of DIP Financing
----------------------------------------------------
Hospital Damas, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico to approve the second extension of the use
of the senior secured financing and cash collateral up to Feb. 28,
2012.

The Debtor and Banco Popular de Puerto Rico have agreed to extend

Attorneys at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, in Atlanta, Ga.,

HOSPITAL DAMAS: Malpractice Claimants Object to Joint Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Medical malpractice claimants object to the confirmation of the
amended joint plan of Hospital Damas, Inc., and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

The medical malpractice claimants are Olga Maldonado and her son
Josue Narvaez Maldonado; Lizbeth Vargas Colon and Jaime M. Cedeno,
in representation of their minor daughter, Lizbeth Cedeno Vargas;
Baudilio Luciano Ortiz; Joel Luciano Caraballo; Juan Orta
Rodriguez; Juan Orta Lopez De Victoria; Ferando Vargas Lopez De
Victoria and Tomas Orta Lopez De Victoria; Sonia Hodge and Alma
Estela Sanchez Rodriguez.

Under the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan, the medical malpractice
claimants will not receive on account of their claims, property of
a value equal to the allowed amount of their claims, yet the Damas
Foundation will retain its shares in the reorganized Debtor.  The
Foundation has offered no value to the reorganized debtor.  Thus,
the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan is unconfirmable.

The medical malpractice claimants are represented by:

         Gerardo A. Carlo-Altieri, Esq.
         Maria Soledad Lozada Figueroa, Esq.
         San Jose St. #254, 3rd Floor
         San Juan, P.R. 00901

         Fax: (787) 520-6003
         E-mail: gaclegal@gmail.com
                 lcdamslozada@gmail.com

Gerardo A. Carlo-Altieri, Esq., representing the medical
claimants, contends that the amended Chapter 11 Plan unfairly
discriminates among the medical malpractice claimants who have
obtained judgment against the Debtor.  While the Debtor states
that medical malpractice claims will be paid in full satisfaction
of their claims on a pro rata basis from a self-insured fund on
the effective date, the plan also indicates that they will be paid
as they will be finally determined and that the Debtor does not
know the amount of the claims.  The claims span more than a 15-
year time period and the resolution of all claims could take any
number of years.

Mr. Carlo-Altieri notes that the Debtor proposes to favor other
unsecured creditors over the medical malpractice claimants.  The
Debtor proposes to pay a very small percentage of medical
malpractice claims, estimated at one time as approximately 2%,
from non-estate assets, while the Debtor is proposing to pay other
unsecured claimants a distribution of 50% of the allowed amount of
their claims or their pro rata share of $3,494,500 in the near
future, from assets of the estate.  While the Debtor argues that
the general unsecured claims included in Class 3 are being paid
through a permissible gift or carve-out from a secured creditor,
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico ("BPPR"), the Amended Plan that the
payments to allowed administrative expenses, priority tax claims,
BPPR's secured claim and the general unsecured claims, other than
the medical malpractice claims, will be made from available funds
originating from Debtor's operations and the collection of
accounts receivables.  The Debtor is not proposing to distribute
any assets of the estate to medical malpractice claims included in
Class 2, which are similarly unsecured claims.

Mr. Carlo-Altieri contends that the Debtor, the Foundation and the
Committee have acted in illegal concert to discharge the
obligations of the Debtor and the Foundation to the medical
malpractice claimants and garnered the Committee's support by
offering substantial payment to the creditors represented by the
Committee, while offering the medical malpractice claimants no
distribution from property of the estate.  Adding insult to
injury, the Debtor proposes that the medical malpractice claimants
receive the miniscule percentage of their claims from a fund that
they were already entitled to collect from, over some long, but
undefined time period, in full satisfaction of their claims.
Likewise, the Debtor initially sought to absolve the Foundation of
its liability to replenish the trust fund and only distanced
itself from discharging the Foundation's liability after it became
clear that this Court would not discharge any potential liability
of the Foundation under the trust, through the Debtor's Chapter 11
plan.  Yet, the Foundation, as the sole shareholder of the Debtor,
proposes to retain its shares and continue profiting from the
reorganized Debtor.

                      The Chapter 11 Plan

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 16, 2011, the
Plan segregates various claims and shareholder interest into five
classes.  The Class 1 Allowed Claim of Banco Popular de Puerto
Rico for $23,081,328 will be paid in full over time.  Class 2
Allowed General Unsecured Claims arising from medical malpractice
actions, totaling $1,006,613 as of July 31, 2011, will be paid on
a pro rata basis from a self-insured fund to be established.
Class 3 Other Allowed General Unsecured Claims, estimated at
$6,988,997, is projected to make a 50% recovery from a creditor

HOSTESS BRANDS: Arranges $18 Million in Letters of Credit
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Hostess Brands Inc. arranged for lenders to provide
$18 million in letters of credit for insurance and utility
companies.  The letters of credit facility won't increase the $75
million in financing for the Chapter 11 case.

The report recounts that JPMorgan Chase Bank NA issued letters of
credit that expire this year and declined to renew them.  The
arranger for the letter of credit facility is Silver Point Capital
LP, the agent for some existing first-lien creditors providing
credit for the reorganization.  The loan for the Chapter 11 case
already received interim approval.

According to the report, JPMorgan holds cash collateral to support
the existing letters of credit.  When JPMorgan is replaced, the
cash collateral will secure the lenders providing financing for
the bankruptcy.

                       About Hostess Brands

Founded in 1930, Irving, Texas-based Hostess Brands Inc., is known
for iconic brands such as Butternut, Ding Dongs, Dolly Madison,
Drake's, Home Pride, Ho Hos, Hostess, Merita, Nature's Pride,
Twinkies and Wonder.  Hostess has 36 bakeries, 565 distribution
centers and 570 outlets in 49 states.

Hostess filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection early morning
on Jan. 11, 2011 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 12-22051 through
12-22056) in White Plains, New York.  Debtor-affiliates that filed
separate Chapter 11 petition are IBC Sales Corporation, IBC
Trucking LLC, IBC Services LLC, Interstate Brands Corporation, and
MCF Legacy Inc.  Hostess Brands disclosed assets of $982 million
and liabilities of $1.43 billion as of Dec. 10, 2011.  Debt
includes $860 million on four loan agreements.  Trade suppliers
are owed as much as $60 million.

The bankruptcy filing was made two years after predecessors
Interstate Bakeries Corp. and its affiliates emerged from
bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D. Mo. Case No. 04-45814).  Ripplewood
Holding LLC, after providing $130 million to finance the plan,
obtained control of IBC's business following the prior
reorganization.  Hostess Brands is privately held.  The new owners
pursued new Chapter 11 cases to escape from what they called
"uncompetitive and unsustainable" union contracts, pension plans,
and health benefit programs.

In 2011, Hostess retained Houlihan Lokey to explore sales of its
smaller assets and individual brands.  Houlihan Lokey oversaw the
sale of Mrs. Cubbison's to Sugar Foods Corporation for $12
million, but was unable to sell any of Hostess' core assets.

Judge Robert D. Drain oversees the case.  Hostess has hired Jones
Day as bankruptcy counsel; Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP as general
corporate counsel and conflicts counsel; Perella Weinberg Partners
LP as investment bankers, and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as
administrative agent.

Matthew Feldman, Esq., at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, and Harry
Wilson, the head of turnaround and restructuring firm MAEVA
Advisors, are representing the Teamsters union.


INNER CITY: To Keep Sole Chapter 11 Control Through March 6
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that a bankruptcy judge said
urban radio-station operator Inner City Media Corp. can keep
control over its Chapter 11 case for another two months while it
works to sell its assets.

The Debtors asked the Court to extend their exclusive period to
file and solicit acceptances for the proposed Chapter 11 plan
until March 6, 2012, and May 5, respectively.

The Debtors, in their motion, noted that they are selling all or a
portion of their assets.  The relief requested in the sale motion
includes certain deadlines that are scheduled to occur after the
expiration of the Debtors' exclusive periods.  For example, the
proposed bid deadline is Feb. 13, 2012; the proposed date of the
auction is Feb. 16; and the proposed sale hearing is Feb. 21.

The Debtors request was meant to preserve all of their options in
case the proposed sale cannot be consummated and there is a
resulting need to proceed with a Chapter 11 plan.

                   About Inner City Media Corp.

On Aug. 23, 2011, affiliates of Yucaipa and CF ICBC LLC, Fortress
Credit Funding I L.P., and Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund
Ltd., signed involuntary Chapter 11 petitions for Inner City Media
Corp. and its affiliates (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 11-13967 to
11-13979) to collect on a $254 million debt.

The Petitioning Creditors are party to the senior secured credit
Facility pursuant to which they (or their predecessors in
interest) extended $197 million in loans to the Alleged Debtors to
be used for general corporate purposes.  More than two years ago,
the Alleged Debtors defaulted under the Senior Secured Credit
Facility, and in any event the entire amount of principal and
accrued and unpaid interest and fees became immediately due and
payable on Feb. 13, 2010.

Inner City Media's affiliates subject to the involuntary Chapter
11 are ICBC Broadcast Holdings, Inc., Inner-City Broadcasting
Corporation of Berkeley, ICBC Broadcast Holdings-CA, Inc., ICBC-
NY, L.L.C., ICBC Broadcast Holdings-NY, Inc., Urban Radio, L.L.C.,

L.L.C., Urban Radio IV, L.L.C., Urban Radio of Mississippi,
L.L.C., and Urban Radio of South Carolina, L.L.C.

Judge Shelley C. Chapman granted each of Inner City Media
Corporation and its debtor affiliates relief under Chapter 11 of
the United States Code.  The decision came after considering the
involuntary petitions, and the Debtors' answer to involuntary
petitions and consent to entry of order for relief and reservation
of rights.

Attorneys for Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives Fund II, L.P. and
Yucaipa Corporate Initiatives (Parallel) Fund II, L.P. are John J.

Zabel LLP.

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP serves as the Debtors' counsel.

Rothschild Inc. serves as the Debtors' financial advisors and
investment bankers.  GCG Inc. serves as the Debtors' claims agent.

The United States Trustee said that an official committee under 11
U.S.C. Sec. 1102 has not been appointed in the bankruptcy case of
Inner City Media because an insufficient number of persons holding
unsecured claims against the Debtor has expressed interest in
serving on a committee.

IRWIN MORTGAGE: Wants KFB & B&T as Special Litigation Co-Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------------
Irwin Mortgage Corporation asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Ohio for authorization to employ Kurkin
Forehand Brandes LLP and Barnes & Thornburg, LLP, as special
litigation co-counsel to prosecute the Barofsky Mortgage Fraud
Matter on a Shared Contingency Fee in accordance with Sections
327(e) and 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtor proposes
that KFB and B&T will act as co-counsel, and will share in the
contingency fee.  The Court has already approved B&T's employment
as special litigation counsel on a contingency fee basis for
similar contingency matters.

The Debtor will be entitled to 40% of the recovery and KFB &
B&T will be entitled to share 60% of the recovery in the Barofsky
Mortgage Fraud Matter from and after the Petition Date.  KFB and
B&T will split their 60% Shared Contingency Fee as follows: KFB
will receive 40% of the Shared Contingency Fee and B&T will
receive 60% of the Shared Contingency Fee.

KFB and/or B&T will fund all litigation expenses in the Barofsky
Mortgage Fraud Matter.

As special litigation co-counsel in the Barofsky Mortgage Fraud
Matter, KFB and B&T will:

   a. advise the Debtor with respect to any claims, defenses,
      preparations, strategy, settlement and related matters;

   b. prepare on behalf of the Debtor all necessary and
      appropriate pleadings which may be required;

   c. advise and represent the Debtor in all discovery matters;

   d. advise and represent the Debtor in all settlements and
      related matters, including the documentation of any
      settlement and related matters; and

   e. advise and represent the Debtor to collect and recover any
      judgment.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, KFB, along with B&T, is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

on $390,281 of total revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.30 million on $1.56 million

James River carries a 'B' corporate credit rating from Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services, and 'B3' corporate family rating from
Moody's Investors Service.

As reported by the TCR on March 25, 2011, Moody's Investors
Service upgraded James River Coal Company's Corporate Family
Rating to 'B3' from 'Caa2'.  The rating upgrade reflects post-
acquisition potential for significant increase in JRCC's
metallurgical coal production, increase in operational diversity
within Central Appalachia, and greater access to export markets.

The S&P corporate rating was upgraded from 'B-' in March 2011.
"The upgrade reflects S&P's view that the IRP acquisition provides
James River Coal exposure to the attractive metallurgical coal
market," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Fred Ferraro.  "The
acquisition also adds management experience in overseas marketing,
and expands the company's reserve life.  Furthermore, S&P expects
that it will be funded in a way that is consistent with the
current capital structure so as to maintain the current credit
metrics."


JEFFERSON COUNTY: Judge to Modify Opinion on Receiver's Powers
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the bankruptcy judge in Birmingham, Alabama, said
that he would fix a typographical error in his opinion earlier
this month cutting back on bondholders' control over the
Jefferson County, Alabama, sewer system.  The judge said he will
correct a footnote where he said the bondholders are protected by
a "statutory lien."

                      About Jefferson County

Jefferson County has its seat in Birmingham, Alabama.  It has a
population of 660,000.

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

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

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

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

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

The bankruptcy judge in January 2012 ruled that the state court-
appointed receiver for the sewer system largely lost control as a
result of the bankruptcy. Before deciding whether Jefferson County
is eligible for Chapter 9, the bankruptcy judge will allow the
Alabama Supreme Court to decide whether sewer warrants are the
equivalent of "funding or refunding bonds" required under state
law before a municipality can be in bankruptcy.


JK HARRIS: Schlichting Group Throws Lifeline to Clients
-------------------------------------------------------
North Texas-based tax resolution firm The Schlichting Group on
Jan. 18, 2012, extended a lifeline to U.S. clients abandoned by
the dissolution of now-defunct tax firms headed by California's
Roni Deutch and South Carolina's JK Harris.

The Schlichting Group, which specializes in effective and ethical
IRS resolution efforts, is offering free case evaluations and
discounted representation services for taxpayers abandoned by the
ongoing legal woes of Deutch and Harris.  "The recent liquidations
of JK Harris and Roni Deutch are forcing thousands of distressed
clients nationwide to face the IRS alone," stated Stephen J.
Schlichting, president of The Schlichting Group. "We want to give
these people the sensible, real-world help they need to put their
tax problems behind them."

In recent years, Harris' and Deutch's advertising-centric business
practices have come under scrutiny from the attorneys general in
several states, who have accused the two of promoting unrealistic
results and making false promises. Over the last several months,
the resulting litigation and class-action lawsuits -- underscored
by the failure of both to change their business models -- led to
their demise and closures over the last several months.

According to published reports, court documents indicate both
defunct firms sold thousands of distressed taxpayers pennies-on-
the-dollar settlements known as offers in compromise that they
were never qualified to receive. "In 2010, IRS accepted fewer than
14,000 offers in compromise," Schlichting explained. "We love
offer in compromise settlements when they fit, but there's no way
to know if someone is a good candidate without thoroughly
evaluating their financial situation.

"Operators like JK Harris, who was forced into liquidation last
week, and Roni Deutch give legitimate tax-resolution specialists a
black eye. At The Schlichting Group, we give it to you straight,
presenting clients achievable resolution options the IRS can and
will accept."

JK Harris & Co. -- http://jkharris.com/-- was one of the nation's
largest tax representation firms.  JK Harris & Co. LLC filed a
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. S.C. Case No. 11-06254) on Oct. 7,
2011, in Charleston, South Carolina, represented by G. William
McCarthy, Jr., Esq., at McCarthy Law Firm, LLC, in Columbia, South
Carolina.  The Debtor disclosed assets of $4.9 million against
debt totaling $30.9 million.

KCD IP: Moody's Lowers Rating on Asset-Backed Notes to 'B2'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the Asset-Backed Notes
issued by KCD IP, LLC to B2(sf). The notes, all of which are held
by a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of Sears in support of
its insurance activities, are secured by royalties for Kenmore,
Craftsman and DieHard trademarks in the United States and its
Territories. Moody's rating on the notes addresses ultimate
payment of interest and principal by the final legal maturity and
does not address timeliness of current interest payments.

The complete rating action is:

Issuer: KCD IP, LLC

Cl. A, Downgraded to B2 (sf); previously on Nov 17, 2011 Baa2 (sf)
Placed Under Review for Possible Downgrade

RATINGS RATIONALE

The action was caused by decline in credit strength of Sears
Holding Corp. (Sears) during the last 6 months. Moody's expects
Sears will report a significant operating loss in fiscal 2011 and
negative trends are expected to persist into fiscal 2012. Moody's
downgraded Sears on Jan 4, 2012 to B3, under a Negative Outlook.
Previously, Sears was downgraded to B1 on December 5, 2011, and
downgraded to Ba3 on July 18, 2011. The negative rating outlook
primarily reflects uncertainties around the company's ability to
arrest recent declines in sales and operating margins and concerns
that the company could increase its reliance on its credit
facilities.

Sears, through its Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Kmart subsidiaries,
accounts for nearly all sales of Kenmore, Craftsman, and DieHard
products. Sears' comparable store sales have declined every year
since the 2005 merger of Sears and Kmart. In light of ensuing
reduced profitability, Sears has announced plans to close 100-120
stores. Moody's expects additional store closings in the coming
years, and expect that continued contraction at Sears, the
principal distribution channel of Kenmore, Craftsman, and Diehard
products, would directly impact their sales. These factors
increase risk for KCD bonds, and also suggest an increasing
linkage of deal performance to Sears' credit.

Depressed housing sales also continue to have a negative impact on
the credit strength of the notes. The housing sector contributes
strongly to the demand for tools and appliances, which represent
the majority of the sales revenue backing KCD IP, LLC. We do not
expect a strong housing recovery in the immediate future.
Furthermore, high unemployment has stretched out the replacement
cycle for major appliances and lowered the demand for
discretionary tool purchases.

In addition, the interest on the notes has increased over time
from 6.9% to 7.9% currently. Consequently, the notes now have a
lower interest coverage ratio and will have less funds available
for principal amortization when the interest only phase ends in
June of 2012.

METHODOLOGY

Moody's analyzes cash flow income to the securitization and
evaluates its sufficiency to repay the principal and any accrued
interest on the notes by legal maturity. Moody's uses Monte Carlo
simulation, with lessee default and sales revenues of Kenmore,
Craftsman, and DieHard as the main simulated variables. The
derived expected revenues are fed through the transaction's
priority of payments to assess potential performance of the notes
under expected and stressed scenarios.

Moody's considers the resulting expected reduction in yield,
default frequency and expected loss on the notes in making a
rating decision.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in
the process of rating this issuer can also be found in the Rating
Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's website.

                 About KV Pharmaceutical Company

KV Pharmaceutical Company (NYSE: KVa/KVb) --
http://www.kvpharmaceutical.com/-- is a fully integrated
specialty pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures,
markets, and acquires technology-distinguished branded and
generic/non-branded prescription pharmaceutical products.  The
Company markets its technology distinguished products through
ETHEX Corporation, a subsidiary that competes with branded
products, and Ther-Rx Corporation, the company's branded drug
subsidiary.

KV Pharmaceutical has not timely filed its Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2010 and its Form 10-Qs for the subsequent
quarterly periods.  The Company's independent accounting firm,
KPMG, resigned on June 25, 2010, and the Company has tapped BDO
USA, LLP, to audit the fiscal 2010 financial statements.  The Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was only filed March 10,
2011.

The Company was not able to complete its Form 10-Q for the three-
and six-month periods ended Sept. 30, 2011, by the filing deadline
of Nov. 9, 2011, without unreasonable effort and expense.  The
Company expects to file this Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as
practicable after filing the amended filings, and, in any case,
within five days of those filings.

KPMG LLP, in St. Louis, Missouri, expressed substantial doubt
about K-V Pharmaceutical's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has suspended the
shipment of all products manufactured by it and must comply with a
consent decree with the FDA before approved products can be
reintroduced to the market.  Significant negative impacts on
operating results and cash flows from these actions including the
potential inability of the Company to raise capital; suspension of
manufacturing; significant uncertainties related to litigation and
governmental inquiries; and debt covenant violations.

The Company's balance sheet at of March 31, 2011, showed
$564.70 million in total assets, $942.50 million in total
liabilities and a $377.80 million total shareholders' deficit.

The Company reported a net loss of $271.70 million on $27.30
million of net revenues for the year ended March 31, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $283.60 million on $9.10 million of
net revenues during the prior year.


LACKAWANNA COUNTY: Moody's Withdraws Ba3 Gen. Obligation Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the Ba3 rating on
Lackawanna County's (PA) $202.7 million of outstanding rated
general obligation bonds. The bonds are secured by the county's
unlimited property tax pledge. This action concludes Moody's
rating review begun in September 2011.

SUMMARY RATING RATIONALE

The withdrawal of the rating reflects a lack of sufficient and
accurate financial information, specifically the county's failure
to release its audited financial statements for fiscal 2010, which
ended December 31, 2010. The county has a history of late
financial reporting and inaccurate projections of operating
results. The fiscal 2009 audit was released in July 2011, 18
months after the close of the county's 2009 fiscal year (December
31).

STRENGTHS:

- Large and diverse $8.7 billion tax base

- Wealth levels that approximate the national averages

CHALLENGES:

- Strained financial condition

- Persistent, multi-year trend of structural imbalances

- History of late reporting of financial results

The principal methodology used in this rating was General
Obligation Bonds Issued by U.S. Local Governments published in
October 2009.


LAREDO PETROLEUM: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Laredo Petroleum Inc. (Laredo) to 'B+' from 'B'.

"We also raised our senior unsecured debt rating on Laredo's $550
million notes due 2019 to 'B-' from 'CCC+'. The '6' recovery
rating on the unsecured notes remains unchanged," S&P said.

"These actions follow our reassessment of Laredo's business risk,
its successful IPO in December 2011, and the company's exposure to
oil and natural gas liquids," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Susan Ding. Laredo had approximately $875 million of debt
outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2011. Although we view Laredo's
business risk as 'weak' (as our criteria define the term),
its business position has materially improved. Proved reserves
increased to about 822 billion cubic feet equivalent (bcfe) from
about 460 bcfe as of September 2010. The company has increased its
production for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 136.8
million cubic feet equivalent per day (mmcfed) from about 60.5
mmcfed as of November 2010, with a higher volume of production
coming from oil and natural gas liquids. While we expect Laredo to
continue to outspend cash flow to fund capital expenditures in the
near term, we expect it will maintain total debt to EBITDA below
3x, given the current high realizations for oil and natural gas
liquids," S&P said.

The ratings on Laredo Petroleum reflect its weak business risk,
characterized by a growing, albeit geographically concentrated,
reserve base, its high percentage of proved undeveloped reserves
(PUDs), its "aggressive" financial risk, and negative cash flow
generation. The company's success in growing its reserve base
through its drilling program and acquisitions financed principally
with equity offset these risks somewhat.

loss of $1.03 million on $11.07 million of net sales during the
prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$6.64 million in total assets, $5.44 million in total liabilities,
and $1.19 million in total stockholders' equity.

conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to
generate sufficient cash flows to meet its financing requirements
and attain profitable operations.


LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Wins Approval for $180 Million BASF Settlement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Lyondell Chemical Co. received bankruptcy court
approval this week to settle a $205 million lawsuit with BASF
Corp.  There were no objections.

The report relates that the settlement gives BASF a $100 million
secured claim and an $80 million unsecured claim in Lyondell's
confirmed Chapter 11 plan.  Lyondell said the settlement won't
dilute recoveries for unsecured creditors because almost $270
million in unsecured claims were thrown out.  As a result,
Lyondell said recoveries by unsecured creditors "will be in line
and likely better than disclosure statement estimates."

Before Lyondell's bankruptcy, BASF won a $169 million jury verdict
in a New Jersey state court and in addition was awarded
$36 million in pre-judgment interest. Lyondell said that the total
$180 million settlement was close to what could have been expected
from continued litigation.

                      About Lyondell Chemical

LyondellBasell Industries is one of the world's largest polymers,
petrochemicals and fuels companies.  Luxembourg-based Basell AF
and Lyondell Chemical Company merged operations in 2007 to form
LyondellBasell Industries, the world's third largest independent
chemical company.  LyondellBasell became saddled with debt as
part of the US$12.7 billion merger.  Len Blavatnik's Access
Industries owned the Company prior to its bankruptcy filing.

On Jan. 6, 2009, LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations,
led by Lyondell Chemical Co., and one of its European holding
companies -- Basell Germany Holdings GmbH -- filed voluntary
petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code to facilitate a restructuring of the company's debts.  The
case is In re Lyondell Chemical Company, et al., Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Lead Case No. 09-10023).  Seventy-nine Lyondell entities filed
for Chapter 11.  Luxembourg-based LyondellBasell Industries AF
S.C.A. and another affiliate were voluntarily added to Lyondell
Chemical's reorganization filing under Chapter 11 protection on
April 24, 2009.

Deryck A. Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in
New York, served as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore
Partners served as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its
subsidiary AP Services LLC, served as restructuring advisors.
AlixPartners' Kevin M. McShea acted as the Debtors' Chief
Restructuring Officer.  Clifford Chance LLP served as
restructuring advisors to the European entities.

LyondellBasell emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
May 2010, with a plan that provides the Company with US$3 billion
of opening liquidity.  A new parent company, LyondellBasell
Industries N.V., incorporated in the Netherlands, is the
successor of the former parent company, LyondellBasell Industries
AF S.C.A., a Luxembourg company that is no longer part of
LyondellBasell.  LyondellBasell Industries N.V. owns and operates
substantially the same businesses as the previous parent company,
including subsidiaries that were not involved in the bankruptcy
cases.  LyondellBasell's corporate seat is Rotterdam,
Netherlands, with administrative offices in Houston and
Rotterdam.


M WAIKIKI: Court to Rule on Bankruptcy Plan Within Two Months
-------------------------------------------------------------
Howard Dicus at HawaiiNewsNow reports that U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Honolulu, Hawaii, will rule within two months on a
reorganization for the hotel that used to be the Ilikai Marina
Tower.  The report says approval of M Waikiki's plan is expected.

According to the report, M Waikiki, owners of the hotels, agreed
to make the hotel the first location for Marriott's newest brand,
but became increasingly dissatisfied as Marriott signed only one
other Edition in the world, in Istanbul, Turkey.  In 2010 the
owners, acting at a shift change in the middle of the night,
ejected Marriott as branding and management contractor, installing
Aqua Hotels & Resorts as the new management.  Since there have
been dueling lawsuits, and the bankruptcy filing, while reflecting
real financial problems, appeared timed to prevent a New York
court from ordering Marriott's reinstatement.

The report says the reorganization plan, which was filed in
Honolulu federal bankruptcy court last week, is seen as likely to
win approval because it pays unsecured creditors 100 cents on the
dollar, which would be good news for the hotels Hawaii-based
vendors and suppliers.

The report notes, other terms of the plan include millions paid by
the majority shareholder, a family trust with ties to California
and Nevada, which would refinance a Wells Fargo mortgage and pay
off Marriott.  The Davidson Family Trust is already providing
bankruptcy financing, which means, lending money for the hotel's
ongoing operations during receivership.  This financing alone has
already reached $9 million, although much of this has been spent
on bankruptcy legal bills; the owners say the hotel itself is
already covering its operating costs.

                          About M Waikiki

M Waikiki owns the Modern Honolulu, a world-class, luxury hotel
property located close to Waikiki Beach in Hawaii.  The hotel is
being managed by Modern Management Services LLC, an affiliate of
Aqua Hotels and Resorts.

M Waikiki is a Hawaii limited liability company with its principal
place of business located in San Diego, California.  It is a
special purpose entity, having roughly 75 indirect investors,
which was formed to acquire the Hotel.

No. 11-02371) on Aug. 31, 2011.  Judge Robert J. Faris presides

MARCO POLO: Sues Creditors for Causing Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Seaarland Shipping Management filed a lawsuit blaming
two creditors for precipitating its bankruptcy by taking actions
that "completely derailed the debtors' efforts to restructure
outside of bankruptcy."  The complaint, filed Jan. 17 in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, contends that Bansky Shipping Co.
and Indiana R Shipping Co. seized a vessel that Seaarland was
under contract to sell for $41.4 million.  The seizure resulted in
a collapse of the sale and the inability to generate funds
financing an out-of-court restructuring.  The two creditors also
attached Seaarland's interest in a joint venture, cutting off
access to $5 million in cash.  The attachment violated an
agreement to arbitrate disputes, according to the complaint.
Seaarland wants the bankruptcy judge to declare that attaching the
stock was a fraudulent transfer.  The seizure of the vessel
constituted inequitable conduct, Seaarland contends, for which the
company wants the bankruptcy judge to subordinate the creditors'
claims.

The lawsuit is Marco Polo Seatrade BV v. Bansky Shipping
Co. (In re Marco Polo Seatrade BV), 12-01027, U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The bankruptcy
case is In re Marco Polo Seatrade BV, 11-13634, U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

                        About Marco Polo

Marco Polo Seatrade B.V. operates an international commercial
vessel management company that specializes in providing commercial
and technical vessel management services to third parties.
Founded in 2005, the Company mainly operates under the name of
Seaarland Shipping Management and maintains corporate headquarters
in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.  The primary assets consist of six
tankers that are regularly employed in international trade, and
call upon ports worldwide.

Marco Polo and three affiliated entities filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 11-13634) on July 29,
2011.  The other affiliates are Seaarland Shipping Management
B.V.; Magellano Marine C.V.; and Cargoship Maritime B.V.

Marco Polo is the sole owner of Seaarland, which in turn is the
sole owner of Cargoship, and also holds a 5% stake in Magellano.
The remaining 95% stake in Magellano is owned by Amsterdam-based
Poule B.V., while another Amsterdam company, Falm International
Holding B.V. is the sole owner of Marco Polo.  Falm and Poule
didn't file bankruptcy petitions.

The filings were prompted after lender Credit Agricole Corporate
& Investment Bank seized one ship on July 21, 2011, and was on
the cusp of seizing two more on July 29.  The arrest of the
vessel was authorized by the U.K. Admiralty Court.  Credit
Agricole also attached a bank account with almost US$1.8 million
on July 29.  The Chapter 11 filing precluded the seizure of the
two other vessels.

The cases are before Judge James M. Peck.  Evan D. Flaschen, Esq.,
Robert G. Burns, Esq., and Andrew J. Schoulder, Esq., at Bracewell
& Giuliani LLP, serve as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as notice and claims agent.

The petition noted that the Debtors' assets and debt are both
more than US$100 million and less than US$500 million.

Tracy Hope Davis, United States Trustee for Region 2, appointed
three members to serve on the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  The Committee has retained Blank Rome LLP as its
attorney.

Secured lender Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank is
represented by Alfred E. Yudes, Jr., Esq., and Jane Freeberg
Sarma, Esq., at Watson, Farley & Williams (New York) LLP.


MGIC INVESTMENT CORP: Incurs $135-Mil. Net Loss in 4th Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
MGIC Investment Corporation reported a net loss for the quarter
ended Dec 31, 2011 of $135.3 million, compared with a net loss of
$186.7 million for the same quarter a year ago.  Diluted loss per
share was $0.67 for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2011, compared to
diluted loss per share of $0.93 for the same quarter a year ago.
The net loss for the full year ending Dec. 31, 2011 was
$485.9 million, compared to a net loss of $363.7 million for the
full year 2010.  For the full year 2011, diluted loss per share
was $2.42 compared to a diluted loss per share of $2.06 for the
full year 2010.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $447.0 million,
compared with $361.1 million in the fourth quarter last year.  Net
premiums written for the quarter were $263.8 million, compared
with $271.4 million for the same period last year.  Net premiums
written for the full year 2011 were $1.064 billion, compared with
$1.102 billion for the full year 2010. Included in other revenue,
for the fourth quarter of 2011, was a gain of $24.5 million that
resulted from the repurchase of $74.0 million in par value of long
term debt due in November 2015.  Realized gains in the fourth
quarter of 2011 were $104.5 million compared to $13.4 million for
the same period last year.

Curt S. Culver, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Mortgage Guaranty
Insurance Corporation and MTG, said that he is pleased to announce
that the company has successfully completed its discussions with
the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of
Wisconsin, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to receive the necessary
waivers and approvals that allow for the continuation of the
company's strategy to write new business through a combination of
MGIC and, as it is needed, its wholly owned subsidiary, MGIC
Indemnity Corporation.  Culver added that these actions further
enable the company to support its policyholders and the US housing
market by continuing to write high quality, profitable new
insurance on a nationwide basis.

New insurance written in the fourth quarter was $4.2 billion,
compared to $4.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010.  In
addition, the Home Affordable Refinance Program accounted for
$812.6 million of insurance that is not included in the new
insurance written total for the quarter due to these transactions
being treated as a modification of the coverage on existing
insurance in force.  New insurance written for full year 2011 was
$14.2 billion compared to $12.3 billion for the full year 2010.
HARP activity for 2011 totaled $2.9 billion compared to $3.2
billion 2010.

As of Dec. 31, 2011, MGIC's primary insurance in force was $172.9
billion, compared with $191.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2010, and $212.2
billion at Dec. 31, 2009.  Persistency, or the percentage of
insurance remaining in force from one year prior, was 82.9% at
Dec. 31, 2011, compared with 84.4% at Dec. 31, 2010, and 84.7% at
Dec. 31, 2009.  The fair value of MGIC Investment Corporation's
investment portfolio, cash and cash equivalents was $6.8 billion
at Dec. 31, 2011 compared with $8.8 billion at Dec. 31, 2010, and
$8.4 billion at Dec. 31, 2009.

At Dec. 31, 2011, the percentage of loans that were delinquent,
excluding bulk loans, was 13.79%, compared with 14.94% at
Dec. 31, 2010, and 15.46% at Dec. 31, 2009.  Including bulk loans,
the percentage of loans that were delinquent at Dec. 31, 2011 was
16.11%, compared to 17.48% at Dec. 31, 2010, and 18.41% at
Dec. 31, 2009.

Losses incurred in the fourth quarter were $482.1 million up from
$448.4 million reported for the same period last year due to an
increase in the estimated claim rate on primary defaults that
occurred in prior periods.  For the full year 2011, losses
incurred were $1.715 billion compared to $1.608 billion in 2010.
Net underwriting and other expenses were $50.7 million in the
fourth quarter as compared to $53.5 million reported for the same
period last year.  For the full year 2011 net underwriting and
other expenses were $214.8 million compared to $225.1 million in
2010.

Wall Street Bulk transactions, as of Dec. 31, 2011, included
approximately 78,000 loans with insurance in force of
approximately $12.2 billion and risk in force of approximately
$3.7 billion.  The $134.8 million premium deficiency reserve as of
Dec. 31, 2011 reflects the present value of expected future losses
and expenses that exceeded the present value of expected future
premium and already established loss reserves.  Within the premium
deficiency calculation, our present value of expected future paid
losses and expenses, net of expected future premium, was $961.0
million, offset by already established loss reserves of $826.2
million.

Company expectations for 2012

New insurance written to be modestly higher than 2011

Total paid claims to be lower than 2011

Primary delinquent inventory will continue to decline

New delinquency notices are expected to continue to decline in
2012, on a year over year basis

Cure rates will slowly improve throughout the year

Home prices are expected to be flat

Bryan McKenzie at The Daily Progress reports that Virginia Hotel
Fund LLC, lead by Timothy J. Dixon, would buy Landmark Hotel from
Minor Family Hotels for $2.8 million, if a federal bankruptcy
court approves a plan submitted to the court by attorneys for
current Landmark owner Halsey Minor.

According to the report, the plan was submitted to the court on
Jan. 13, 2012, and is scheduled for a hearing slated for March 19,
2012.  The $2.8 million would be used by Minor to pay liens on the
building.  A separate fund of about $200,000 would be established
by the purchaser to help pay claims by unsecured debtors.

The report says the proposed sale price is close to the $2.1
million valuation assessed by Hotel and Club Appraisal and
Consulting service in March 2011, done on behalf of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The report relates that a December ruling by Charlottesville
Circuit Court Judge H. Thomas Padrick ruled that the city of
Charlottesville's $128,183 tax lien would be first to be paid from
the proceeds, then general contractor Clancy & Theys Construction
Co. would receive its more than $2 million mechanic's lien, with
other contractors to follow.

The report notes that many creditors would be paid less than
what they are owed as the city court ruling listed more than
$17 million in liens against the property, including more than
$13 million from Specialty Finance Group of Georgia, which was
involved in financing the hotel.

The report citing court documents, the plan will place creditors'
claims in various classes and determines how each class of claim
is to be handled and how it would be paid.  Under the plan,
administrative expenses of $11,000 to the U.S. Treasury, $165,000
to Dixon Development and $35,000 in legal fees would be paid
first.  The next paid would be the city's tax bill; Clancy & Theys
Construction; R.D. Jones Construction for $136,654; Specialty
Finance's claim and Core Group, PC's $287,652.

The report says the creditors will be allowed to vote on whether
to allow the sale of the hotel structure and development to
Virginia Hotel Fund.

MONTANA ELECTRIC: Regulator Wants to Intervene in Bankruptcy Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Venegas at ktvq.com reports that the Montana Public Service
Commission wants to intervene in the proceeding of Southern
Montana Electric Generation and Transmission.

According to the report, PSC Chairman Travis Kavulla says as the
state's utility regulators, the PSC wants to protect other Montana
consumers that could be affected.

The report says Southern Montana Electric is in the midst of a
complicated chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Southern has more
than $21 million in unsecured debt.  The electric cooperative
serves six co-ops across the state with more than 122,000
customers.

The report notes that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ralph Kirscher said
he'll take the motion under advisement and make a ruling in the
future, as to whether or not the PSC should be involved in the
bankruptcy proceedings.  That decision is expected to be announced
in the next couple of weeks.

                   About Southern Montana Electric

Based in Billings, Montana, Southern Montana Electric Generation
and Transmission Cooperative, Inc., was formed to serve five
other electric cooperatives.  The city of Great Falls later joined
as the sixth member.  Including the city, the co-op serves a
population of 122,000.  In addition to Great Falls, the service
area includes suburbs of Billings, Montana.

Southern Montana filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D.
Mont. Case No. 11-62031) on Oct. 21, 2011.  Southern Montana
estimated assets of $100 million to $500 million and estimated
debts of $100 million to $500 million.  Timothy Gregori signed the
petition as general manager.

Jon E. Doak, Esq., at Doak & Associates, P.C., in Billings,
Montana, serves as the Debtor's counsel.  In December 2011,
Southern Montana also sought permission to employ the Goodrich Law
Firm, P.C., as general co-counsel.

Also in December, Lee A. Freeman was appointed as Chapter 11
trustee.  Mr. Freeman retained Horowitz & Burnett, P.C., as his
counsel and Waller & Womack, P.C., as local counsel.

The United States Trustee for Region 18 has appointed an Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the case.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in October lowered its issuer
credit rating on SME to 'CC' from 'BBB', and placed the rating on
CreditWatch with developing implications.  These actions follow
the cooperative's Oct. 21 bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  According to SME, the filing was in
response to failure on the part of some of its members to honor
contractual obligations, including payment to the cooperative for
services.

NEWARK GROUP: Moody's Confirms 'Caa1' Corporate; Outlook Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service confirmed the Caa1 corporate family and
probability of default ratings of The Newark Group, concluding the
review initiated on August 31, 2011. Moody's also confirmed the
Caa1 rating on the $110 million term loan facility. The outlook is
negative.

Moody's took these rating actions:

-Confirmed CFR, Caa1

-Confirmed PDR, Caa1

-Confirmed $110 million ($110 million outstanding) term loan due
2014, Caa1 (LGD 4 -58%)

-Assigned a negative outlook to the ratings

RATINGS RATIONALE

The confirmation of Newark's Caa1 corporate family rating reflects
the company's amended credit agreement that provides some
breathing room under financial covenants and anticipated
operational improvements from completed restructuring initiatives
and further cost-cutting efforts. The Caa1 rating reflects weak
operating and credit metrics, lag in passing through raw material
cost increases and weak liquidity.

Newark does not have to meet financial covenant requirements, i.e.
the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum leverage
ratio, until July 31, 2012. However, its future ability to comply
with the covenants and further strengthen its liquidity will
depend on successfully improving its operating performance on the
back of restructuring efforts, pricing actions and volume
improvements. While Moody's expects that the company's margins
will start showing some improvement over the next few quarters,
and that free cash flows (cash from operations less capital
expenditures) will not be meaningfully negative, the company's
liquidity position is expected to remain tight. As of October 31,
2011, the company had $3 million of cash on the balance sheet and
approximately $15 million borrowing availability under the asset-
backed facility.

The company is also required to maintain a minimum borrowing
availability of $10 million under its asset-backed credit facility
until July 31, 2012, which could put additional pressure on the
company's liquidity in the near term. That said, in January, the
majority shareholding group provided a $10 million commitment to
the Company, the proceeds of which are expected to be used to
improve the liquidity profile of the business.

The negative ratings outlook reflects narrow headroom under
financial covenants that is highly dependent on the company
successfully achieving its operation restructuring initiatives as
well as stability in its core markets.

Further downgrade is likely if Newark's operating performance
deteriorates further and the likelihood of complying with
financial covenants declines. An upgrade, although not likely in
the intermediate term, will be considered if Newark demonstrates
ability to sustain improved liquidity and operating performance
and if its metrics allow it sufficient headroom under its credit
agreement's financial covenants.

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


OLD REPUBLIC: Moody's Affirms IFS Rating at 'Caa2'
--------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said it will continue its review for
possible downgrade of the senior debt of Old Republic (NYSE: ORI;
senior debt rated Baa2) and the insurance financial strength (IFS)
ratings of the primary subsidiaries of the Old Republic General
and Old Republic Title groups, following the announcement by the
company that the North Carolina Department of Insurance has issued
an Order of Supervision to Old Republic's mortgage insurance
subsidiary Republic Mortgage Insurance Company (RMIC). At the same
time, Moody's affirmed the Caa2 (with negative outlook) IFS rating
of RMIC.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Moody's ongoing review for possible downgrade of Old Republic's
debt, P&C IFS and Title IFS ratings is focused on the degree to
which the company and those operations can be separated from the
distressed mortgage insurance operation, including a scenario of
regulatory insolvency, rehabilitation or reorganization of RMIC. A
risk currently faced by the group is that such a scenario for RMIC
would be considered an event of default under Old Republic's debt
covenants, and could trigger an early redemption of Old Republic's
outstanding bonds ($866 million outstanding as of September 30,
2011).

In discussing the supervision order, Moody's Senior Credit Officer
Paul Bauer said, "Despite the risk of stress at the mortgage
insurance operation worsening and triggering an early redemption
of Old Republic's senior notes, Moody's does not believe that the
current Order of Supervision issued by the North Carolina
insurance regulator constitutes a rehabilitation or reorganization
of RMIC, and therefore does not trigger an event of default as
defined in Old Republic's debt covenants." Moody's further
explained that the supervision order may even benefit RMIC because
it requires RMIC to reduce cash payments on claims by 50% -- and
by doing so -- preserves regulatory capital and may reduce the
chance that RMIC is placed into rehabilitation or reorganization
by North Carolina in the future.

Moody's also said that its review for downgrade is focused on the
degree to which senior management appears to have decreased its
general level of conservatism in managing parent company
obligations, liquidity, and creditor interests. In particular, the
continuation of a high stockholder dividend during a period of
financial stress, and the limited alternative liquidity mechanisms
available to the parent, could strain financial flexibility, which
impacts the credit profile of both debt and insurance company
policyholder obligations.

Mortgage Insurance

RMIC's Caa2 insurance financial strength rating reflects Moody's
opinion that ultimate recovery on policyholder claims is likely to
be high despite the supervisory order issued by the North Carolina
Department of Insurance ordering partial payment (50%) of claims
presented after January 19, 2012. This reflects the view that
while claims will outpace premium income in the near term, premium
income in the later years could be sufficient to cover both
pending and current claims. The regulatory action helps RMIC
preserve its liquidity in the high claims-payment phase, said the
rating agency. The North Carolina regulator indicated that its
claim payment plan would be reconsidered after one year. The
unpaid portion of the claims will be reported in RMIC's statutory
balance sheet as statutory surplus.

Material deterioration in RMIC's statutory capital and liquidity
in 2011 prompted the recent regulatory action, said Moody's. As of
September 30, 2011, the statutory surplus position of the combined
mortgage insurance operations was $184 million and the average
quarterly net loss during 2011 was $117 million. High claims
payments, averaging $265 million per quarter, resulted in invested
assets declining from $2.15 billion at year end 2010 to $1.65
billion as of September 30, 2011.

General Insurance and Title Insurance Groups

Moody's said that its review for downgrade of the A1 IFS ratings
of the various operating subsidiaries of Old Republic's General
Insurance Group (property and casualty insurance), and Title
Insurance Group will focus on the decreased financial flexibility
of these groups given the risk of liquidity strain at the parent.
Also, in its review, Moody's will focus on the long term credit
profile of these entities including their evolving business
profile, capital adequacy, profitability and operational and
financial conservatism.

The ratings of the P&C and Title operating companies could be
downgraded if financial strain at the parent worsens, if adequate
coverage of parental obligations, including interest and
stockholder dividends is not restored to prior levels, or if the
rating agency believes the company will have less conservatism in
managing creditor interests and liquidity over the longer-term. In
addition, the ratings of the P&C companies could be lowered if
underwriting leverage increases over 4.5x, earnings continue to be
weak (e.g. return on capital in the mid-single digits or lower),
or reserves show significant adverse development (more than 4%).
The ratings of the title insurance operating companies could be
downgraded if there is a meaningful decrease in market presence
(i.e. market share below 5%), or if there is worse than expected
performance on the downward side of an industry cycle (i.e. losses
greater than $50 million).

The ratings on the P&C and Title groups could be confirmed if
parent company liquidity were improved, the risk of adverse
developments stemming from the mortgage insurance group were
meaningfully reduced, and the company were to maintain a more
creditor-friendly financial profile and liquidity management.

Factors that could lead to a confirmation of ORI's debt ratings at
the current level include decreased risk that parent ORI would be
required to support mortgage subsidiary RMIC in a worst case
scenario such as regulatory supervision, insolvency, or
rehabilitation; decreased risk that ORI could be required to fund
an early redemption of its outstanding debt; or demonstration that
the company has sufficient resources to fully fund such a
redemption without straining parent company liquidity or
subsidiary capitalization. ORI's debt ratings could be lowered if
there is a failure to address liquidity risks at the parent; a
downgrade of the IFS ratings of the company's lead operating
companies; increased financial leverage (adjusted debt-to-capital
above 25%) or a reduction in cash coverage of interest below 7x.

These ratings continue on review for downgrade:

Old Republic International Corporation -- senior unsecured debt at
Baa2; and provisional senior unsecured shelf at (P)Baa2;

Bituminous Casualty Corp. -- insurance financial strength of A1;

Bituminous Fire & Marine Insurance Co. -- insurance financial
strength of A1;

Great West Casualty Company -- insurance financial strength of A1;

Old Republic Insurance Co. -- insurance financial strength of A1;

Old Republic National Title Insurance Company -- insurance
financial strength of A1; and,

Mississippi Valley Title Insurance Company -- insurance financial
strength of A1.

The following rating was confirmed, with a negative outlook:

Republic Mortgage Insurance Company -- insurance financial
strength of Caa2.

The following ratings continue with a positive outlook:

Manufacturers Alliance Insurance Company -- insurance financial
strength of A3;

Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association Ins Co -- insurance
financial strength of A3; and,

Pennsylvania Manufacturers Indemnity Company -- insurance
financial strength of A3.

Old Republic International Corporation, headquartered in Chicago,
Illinois, is a multi-line insurance holding company whose
subsidiaries are engaged primarily in property and casualty
insurance, mortgage guaranty, and title insurance. During the
first nine months of 2011, Old Republic reported total revenue of
$3.3 billion, and a net loss of $196 million. As of September 30,
2011, shareholders' equity was $3.8 billion.

The principal methodologies used in this rating were Moody's
Global Rating Methodology for Property and Casualty Insurers
published in May 2010; Moody's Rating Methodology for U.S. Title
Insurance Companies published in December 2011; and Moody's Global
Rating Methodology for the Mortgage Insurance Industry published
in February 2007.

OSCAR TORRES: Banco Popular Wins Dismissal of Chapter 11 Case
-------------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, Bankruptcy Judge
Enrique S. Lamoutte dismissed the Chapter 11 case of Oscar Torres
De Jesus.  At the onset of the case, the Bank sought to prohibit
the Debtor from using cash collateral.  The Bank alleges it is a
secured creditor for $12,041,132, and that it has properly
perfected a first priority position over all of the Debtor's
inventory, equipment, investment property, accounts receivable,
cash and other related intangibles.  The Bank seeks dismissal of
the case on the grounds of the Debtor's substantial or continuing
loss or diminution of the estate and absence of likelihood of
rehabilitation and other equitable grounds.  Judge Lamoutte
granted the Bank's request, saying there is sufficient cause to
dismiss the case pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sections 1112(b)(4)(a) and

OTERO COUNTY: Court Extends Lease Decision Period to March 13

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Mexico granted
Otero County Hospital Association, Inc.'s request to extend until
March 13, 2012, the period within which the Debtor may assume,
assume and assign, or reject unexpired leases of nonresidential
real property.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 20, 2011, the
Debtor is a party to four unexpired leases of nonresidential real
property.  The Debtor has not yet determined whether to assume or
reject the unexpired leases because it has been focusing on
numerous issues relating to its business operations and certain
lawsuits.

The Debtor needs more time to complete its evaluation of the
unexpired leases.  Accordingly, it is critical that the status quo
be maintained to ensure that decisions to assume or reject the
unexpired leases are made in a prudent and efficient manner.

alternative, Subsidiary Holdings seeks relief from automatic stay
to allow removal of personal property located at 8700 West
Carefree Highway, in Peoria, Arizona.

Subsidiary Holdings is a successor to Collectible Machine Trading,
LLC, and North American Aircraft Holdings, LLC, which owns 100%
interest in all the Personal Property.  Subsidiary Holdings has
been caught up in a landlord tenant dispute, between Pan Am Land,
LLC, which is the tenant and Pleasant Valley Airport Associates,
as the landlord.

As previously reported by the TCR on Jan. 5, 2012, Pleasant Valley
sought dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 case for, among
other things, the absence of a reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation and a likelihood of continuing loss to or
diminution of the estate, the Debtor's failure to file 11 monthly
financial reports for February 2011 through December 2011, and the
Debtor's failure to pay quarterly fees to the United States
Trustee.

Pleasant Valley claims a landlord's lien on the Personal Property.
Subsidiary Holdings asserts that pursuant to Arizona State Law,
that landlord's lien does not apply to third party who is not a
party to the lease.

PATRIOT COAL: S&P Puts 'B+' Corporate Rating on Watch Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its ratings, including
its 'B+' corporate credit rating, on St. Louis, Mo.-based Patriot
Coal Corp. (Patriot) on CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The CreditWatch listing reflects the potential that the company's
2012 EBITDA may be lower than we expected if demand for
metallurgical coal, specifically in the export market, does not
improve," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Maurice Austin.
"Patriot has curtailed higher cost production in both its Rocklick
and Wells mining complexes. We had previously expected Patriot to
generate more than $400 million of adjusted EBITDA during 2012.
Given these assumptions, we expected total adjusted debt to EBITDA
of about 4.75x. However, at estimated current levels of coal
production, we now believe that Patriot may generate less adjusted
EBITDA, likely in the $365 million area. As a result, credit
measures could remain above 5x."

"The rating on Patriot reflects our assessment of the company's
business risk profile as 'weak' and financial risk profile as
'aggressive' (as our criteria define those terms). The company has
significant exposure to the high-cost Central Appalachia (CAPP)
region and faces challenges posed by the inherent risks of coal
mining, including operating problems, price volatility, and
increasing costs and regulatory scrutiny. Patriot has large legacy
liabilities but possesses adequate liquidity, in our view, to meet
its near-term obligations," S&P said.

"In resolving the CreditWatch listing," Mr. Austin continued, "we
will meet with management to discuss its near-term operating and
financial prospects, including end-market demand trends."


PBF HOLDING: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to PBF Holding Company LLC's new
secured notes due 2020. Moody's also assigned a Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating (PDR). This
is the first time that Moody's has rated PBF. The outlook is
stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"The Ba3 CFR reflects scale which is strong within the context of
the Ba rating category, a modest degree of diversification, an
ability to process a high proportion of heavy and medium sour
crude on the East Coast and WTI priced crude in the Midcontinent,
low leverage relative to Ba refining peers, and a seasoned
management team with a strong industry track record prior to
joining PBF", commented Jonathan Kalmanoff, Moody's Analyst. "The
rating is restrained by PBF's short track record and early stage
of operations, high proportion of cash flows from the highly
competitive Northeast market, and the risks inherent in a strategy
of continued growth through acquisitions." The Ba3 CFR and stable
outlook incorporate Moody's expectation that the Delaware City
refinery will achieve operating costs per barrel in the mid-$4
range in line with company and third party engineering
expectations, and will not experience a material amount of
unplanned down time or unanticipated maintenance costs.

PBF has good liquidity through 2012. At September 30, 2011 pro
forma, the company had approximately $378 million of availability
under its $500 million ABL credit facility due 2016 and had $241
million of cash. Although cash flows are dependent upon
potentially volatile commodity prices and margins, we believe it
is unlikely that PBF will experience negative free cash flow in
excess of around $140 million during 2012, which is significantly
below its $241 million cash balance, absent an unexpected
acquisition. However PBF has crude supply and off-take agreements
which significantly reduce working capital requirements and if
these agreements were to no longer be in effect for any reason,
working capital funding requirements would increase materially.
The ABL credit facility has a single financial maintenance
covenant, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1x, which
applies only when availability drops below 17.5% or $35 million.
Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base
tied to the value of receivables, inventory, and cash. PBF has no
debt maturities prior 2016. Since the company's asset base is
encumbered by the ABL credit facility and the secured notes
(subject to certain exceptions in the notes), PBF may be limited
in its ability to utilize asset sales as a source of backup
liquidity.

The Ba3 senior secured note rating reflects PBF's overall
probability of default, to which Moody's assigns a PDR of Ba3, and
a loss given default of LGD4-57%. The lack of notching between the
notes and the CFR under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology is
a result of the notes being secured, and also assumes that
borrowings under the ABL credit facility will not routinely exceed
approximately $300 million.

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if PBF develops a longer track
record of profitable operations with the Delaware City refinery
with operating performance in line with company and third party
engineering expectations, develops a longer track record of growth
without increasing business risk or decreasing profitability, and
appears able to maintain RCF/debt at or above 65%. Moody's could
downgrade the ratings if the Delaware City refinery materially
underperforms relative to company and third party engineering
expectations, if acquisitions materially increase business risk or
decrease profitability, or if RCF/debt is expected to decrease to
below 10%.

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

PBF Holding Company LLC is an independent refining and marketing
company headquartered in Parsippany, NJ.


PBF HOLDING: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating to Parsippany, N.J.-based PBF Holding Co. LLC (PBF).
The outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we assigned a 'BB+' issue-level rating (two
notches higher than the corporate credit rating) to PBF's proposed
$675 million senior secured notes due 2020. We assigned a '1'
recovery rating to the notes, indicating our expectation of very
high (90% to 100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
(PBF Finance Corp. is the co-issuer of this debt)," S&P said.

"The ratings on PBF reflect the company's 'weak' business risk
profile and 'aggressive' financial risk profile--as our criteria
define the terms," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Mark D.
Bromberg. "PBF was formed in 2008 as a partnership between
European refiner Petroplus and private equity sponsors Blackstone
Group L.P. and First Reserve Corp. PBF is seeking to emulate a
strategy that its Chairman, Thomas O'Malley, successfully executed
when he led predecessor companies Tosco Corp. and Premcor; the
company will seek to acquire underperforming refineries and return
them to profitability by reducing operating and labor costs. Since
inception, PBF has acquired two refineries in the PADD I region
(East Coast) and one refinery in PADD II (Midwest)."

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that PBF will
maintain adequate liquidity and that fundamentals, particularly
benchmark crack spreads and light-heavy differentials, will remain
supportive for PBF to maintain credit measures commensurate with
the 'BB-' rating. We could downgrade PBF if market conditions
and/or financial measures weaken on a sustained basis. Given our
assessment of PBF's weak business profile, which incorporates the
firm's acquisitive growth strategy, the inherent cyclicality of
the refining industry, and lack of operating and geographic
diversity, we currently view an upgrade as unlikely," S&P said.


PJ FINANCE: Equity Holders to Retain Ownership After Auction
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that PJ Finance Co. reopened the auction as directed by
the bankruptcy judge in Delaware.  As a result of multiple rounds
of new bidding over four days this month, the equity owners ended
up with the best bid to sponsor a Chapter 11 reorganization plan.

The bankruptcy court in Wilmington, Delaware, was scheduled to
hold a hearing Jan. 25 for approval of the revised disclosure
statement explaining the plan that was sweetened as a result of
the new rounds of bidding.

According to the report, the company said in the revised
disclosure statement that the ultimate offer by the owners will
result in $120 million greater value going to the senior secured
lenders.  To reflect the higher offer stemming from renewed
bidding, the plan was revised to provide that secured lenders,
owed $480 million, should recover between 95.7% and full payment,
compared with a maximum of 78% under the prior plan.  The lenders
are to receive a $423 million note with interest initially at 3%,
rising over time to 5.4%.  They will receive two additional notes
for $80 million that won't accrue interest.  All of the notes
mature at the end of 2019.

The report relates that the equity owners, the report relates, are
investing $22.5 million plus an additional $5 million if required.
General unsecured creditors owed $6.5 million are to be paid in
full.

Mr. Rochelle notes that the company and secured lender Torchlight
Loan Services LLC halted their disputes pending the auction to
learn whether there was a better offer to sponsor a plan than the
one originally filed by the company and the creditors' committee
in September.  Torchlight is special servicer for $475 million in
mortgage-backed securities.

Originally, the plan was to be financed with $10 million from the
owners.

When it filed for bankruptcy, PJ Finance said it has a commitment
from Gaia Real Estate Investments LLC to invest $42 million and
serve as the foundation for a reorganization plan.

PLATINUM STUDIOS: Amends 98 Million "Dutchess" Offering
-------------------------------------------------------
Platinum Studios, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Securities Commission amendment no.2 to Form S-1 relating to the
offer and resale of up to 98,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, by the selling
stockholder, Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, LP, or "Dutchess".  Of
those shares, (i) Dutchess has agreed to purchase up to 98,000,000
shares pursuant to the investment agreement dated Nov. 1, 2011,
between Dutchess and the Company, and (ii) no shares were issued
to Dutchess in consideration for the investment.  Subject to the
terms and conditions of such investment agreement, which is
referred to in this prospectus as the "Investment Agreement," the
Company has the right to put up to $10,000,000 in shares of the
Company's common stock to Dutchess.  This arrangement is sometimes
referred to as an "Equity Line."

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these
shares of common stock offered by Dutchess.  The Company will,
however, receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Dutchess
pursuant to the Equity Line.  When the Company put an amount of
shares to Dutchess, the per share purchase price that Dutchess
will pay to the Company in respect of such put will be determined
in accordance with a formula set forth in the Investment
Agreement.  Generally, in respect of each put, Dutchess will pay
the Company a per share purchase price equal to 95% of the daily
volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock during
the five consecutive trading day period beginning on the trading
day immediately following the date of delivery of the applicable
put notice.

Dutchess may sell the shares of common stock from time to time at
the prevailing market price on the Over-the Counter (OTC) Bulletin
Board, or on an exchange if the Company's shares of common stock
become listed for trading on such an exchange, or in negotiated
transactions.  Dutchess is an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in connection with the
resale of the Company's common stock under the Equity Line.

The Company's common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
under the symbol "PDOS".  The last reported sale price of the
Company's common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on Jan. 19, 2012,
was $0.0021 per share.

POST HOLDINGS: S&P Rates $775MM Senior Unsecured Notes at 'B+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its preliminary 'B+'
issue level rating to U.S.-based Post Holdings Inc.'s (B+
(prelim.)/Stable) proposed $775 million senior unsecured notes due
2022. "The preliminary recovery rating is '4', indicating our
expectation for average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of a
payment default. All ratings are based on preliminary terms and
closing conditions and are subject to review upon receipt of final
documentation. We understand that net proceeds along with the
company's senior secured credit facilities will be used to fund
a dividend to Ralcorp, to retain cash on Post's balance sheet, and
to cover fees and expenses. Pro forma for the transaction, we
estimate that the company will have about $950 million of reported
debt outstanding," S&P said.

"The ratings on Post reflect our opinion of its aggressive
financial risk profile and weak business risk profile," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Bea Chiem. "We estimate that the
standalone company will have significant debt obligations
following the spin-off."

"Key credit factors considered in our weak business risk
assessment include our view of Post's narrow product portfolio,
participation in the highly competitive ready-to-eat cereal
category, exposure to volatile commodity costs, and limited brand
and geographic diversity," S&P said.

"Our rating outlook on Post is stable. We expect that the company
will maintain leverage below 5x, adequate liquidity, and positive
free cash flow," S&P said.

QUIZNOS CORP: Ducks Prepack by 100% Acceptance Out of Court
-----------------------------------------------------------
Quiznos Corp. has successfully completed its financial
restructuring on an out-of-court basis.  The agreement eliminates
one-third -- or approximately $300 million -- of the company's
outstanding debt, and provides a significant infusion of $150
million in new equity from Avenue Capital Group, a global
investment firm, to position Quiznos for future growth.

"Improving our balance sheet and putting our capital structure
issues behind us are major steps forward to strengthening the
Quiznos brand and our customer experience," said Greg MacDonald,
Quiznos Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to working
alongside the Avenue Capital Group team and appreciate the support
of all of our lenders during this restructuring process. Along
with our dedicated franchise owners and employees, we can now
focus primarily on the customer experience and our fresh, high-
quality products. This is an exciting time for all of us here."

Following the successful closing of an exchange offer launched by
Quiznos on Dec. 23, 2011, Avenue Capital Group has become the
majority owner of the Company through its $150 million equity
infusion and the conversion of its debt to equity.

Marc Lasry, CEO of Avenue Capital Group, said, "We are excited to
be part of the Quiznos team and look forward to partnering with
management in the weeks and months ahead."

One hundred percent of the aggregate principal amount of the
first- and second-lien loans were tendered in the exchange offer.
The holders of approximately $650 million in first-lien loans were
repaid $75 million in cash and the maturity of the balance of
their loans was extended until the five-year anniversary of the
closing. Certain lenders also exchanged approximately $150 million
of their existing first-lien loans for new second-lien loans, and
holders of approximately $225 million of second-lien loans
exchanged their loans for a pro rata share of 40% of the new
equity of the recapitalized Quiznos. In addition, the Company
received significant concessions from certain other creditors and
stakeholders.  Former equity owners Consumer Capital Partners
facilitated the restructuring process and provided certain
concessions to allow the restructuring to be completed out of
court.

Quiznos' financial advisor for the restructuring was Moelis &
Company and its legal advisor was Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &
Garrison L.L.P.  Vinson & Elkins L.L.P acted as the company's
financing counsel.  The financial advisor for Avenue Capital and
certain other lenders was Lazard and the legal advisor was Akin
Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.  The financial advisor for first-
lien lenders was Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. and the legal
advisor was Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.

RHODE ISLAND: Moody's Raises Rating on Ser. 2002A Bond to 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the bonds issued by Rhode
Island Tobacco Settlement Financing Corporation. The bonds are
securitizations of payments that domestic tobacco manufacturers
owe to 46 states and certain territories under the Master
Settlement Agreement (MSA).

RATINGS RATIONALE

The upgrades are the result of taking into account a contract with
Morgan Stanley that enables the transaction to benefit from a
higher yield on the debt service reserve account than Moody's
assumed in its previous rating actions published on September 8,
2011. In the September actions, Moody's followed its methodology
published in May 2011 that includes an assumption on yield on
reserve accounts of 0.50% for the first year with increases of
0.25% per year until the yield reaches a maximum level of 2% per
annum. However, pursuant to an agreement between the issuer and
Morgan Stanley, this transaction benefits from a 5.48% interest
rate on investments in the reserve account. The terms of this
agreement were inadvertently overlooked when the bonds were
downgraded on September 8, 2011. As of December 2011, the
transaction had approximately $51 Million in its Debt Service
Reserve account. Therefore, the incremental increase in yield
improves the transaction's cash flow.

Primary sources of uncertainty include future trends in domestic
cigarette consumption, the domestic market share of the tobacco
manufacturers who are parties to the MSA, as well as tobacco
manufacturers' market share. Moody's current expectation for
domestic cigarette consumption is an annual decline of 3-4%. If
Moody's expectation changes to a lower range of 2-3% annual
decline, this could result in an upgrade. Conversely, expectation
of a more severe decline, in the range of 5% or more, would likely
result in a downgrade.

The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's
Approach to Rating Tobacco Settlement Revenue Securitizations,"
published on May, 2011.

The complete rating actions are:

Issuer: Tobacco Settlement Financing Corporation, Series 2002A and
2002B

Ser. 2002A Tax-Exempt Term Bond 2, Upgraded to Baa3 (sf);
previously on Sep 8, 2011 Downgraded to Ba1 (sf)

Ser. 2002A Tax-Exempt Term Bond 3, Upgraded to Ba1 (sf);
previously on Sep 8, 2011 Downgraded to B1 (sf)


ROCK POINTE: Bankruptcy Filing Halts Foreclosure Action
-------------------------------------------------------
The Spokesman-Review relates that the Chapter 11 case of Rock
Pointe Holdings Company LLC forestalled a foreclosure effort by
creditors who say they're owed more than $65 million.  Rock
Pointe's commercial office complex in north Spokane includes four
buildings with more than 560,000 square feet of space.  It was
sold by its developer, Walt Worthy, to Prium Cos. LLC, of Tacoma,
in 2005.

Rock Pointe Holdings Company LLC owns the Rock Pointe Corporate
Center.  The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on Dec. 2,
2011 (Bankr. E.D. Wash. Case No.11-05811).  Brett L. Wittner,
Esq., at Kent & Wittner PS, represents the Debtor.  The Debtor
estimated both assets and debts of between $50 million and $100

ROOKWOOD POTTERY: Chip DeMois Steps Down as CEO
-----------------------------------------------
The Enquirer reports that the Rookwood Pottery Co. announced on
Jan. 23, 2012, that chief executive officer Chip DeMois has left
the company and will return to his consulting business.

According to the report, Mr. DeMois spent the past year at the
131-year-old Cincinnati institution leading a team of artists
while a battle over Rookwood's ownership wound its way through the
courts following the ouster of its former CEO in December 2010.
The report notes that with a $1 million investment from owners
Martin and Marilyn Wade, Mr. DeMois purchased equipment to boost
production and hired at least 20 new artists, engineers and
salespeople.

In May 2011, creditors of Rookwood -- including former executive
Christopher Rose -- forced Rookwood into Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
saying they were owed nearly $260,000.  The Wades had planned to
auction the company's assets that month with the hope of
reorganizing under a new corporate structure, notes the report.

The report says a bankruptcy judge threw out the case in July
2011, and Rookwood continues to be funded and operated by the
Wades.

Rookwood Pottery -- http://www.rookwood.com/-- provides artisan
quality products like art tile, art pottery, corporate gifts and
special commissions to designers, architects, and homeowners.


RYLAND GROUP: JPMorgan Discloses 5% Equity Stake
------------------------------------------------
In a Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, JPMorgan Chase & Co. disclosed that, as of Dec. 30,
2011, it beneficially owns 2,265,005 shares of common stock of
The Ryland Group, Inc., representing 5% of the shares outstanding.
A full-text copy of the filing is available at http://is.gd/Psc7eV

                        About Ryland Group

Headquartered in Calabasas, California, The Ryland Group, Inc.
(NYSE: RYL) -- http://www.ryland.com/-- is one of the nation's
largest homebuilders and a leading mortgage-finance company.
Since its founding in 1967, Ryland has built more than 285,000
homes and financed more than 240,000 mortgages.  The Company
currently operates in 15 states and 19 homebuilding divisions
across the country and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol "RYL."

The Company reported a net loss of $51.56 million on $628.98
million of total revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $66 million on $786.88 million
of total revenues for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $1.54
billion in total assets, $1.06 billion in total liabilities and
$484.75 million in total equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 21, 2010,
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Ryland Group, Inc.'s ratings -- Issuer
Default Rating at 'BB'; and Senior unsecured debt at 'BB'.  The
Rating Outlook has been revised to Stable from Negative.

Ryland Group carries Moody's "Ba3" corporate family rating, "Ba3"
probability of default rating, "Ba3" senior unsecured notes
rating, and "SGL-2" speculative grade liquidity rating.  Ryland
Group carries Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' 'BB-' corporate
credit and senior unsecured note ratings.

In the Sept. 14, 2011, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
downgraded its ratings for Ryland Group, Inc., including the
company's Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB-' from
'BB'.  The Rating Outlook has been revised to Negative from
Stable.

The downgrade in RYL's IDR and senior unsecured ratings reflects
the still very challenging U.S. housing market which is likely
bouncing on the bottom, following a massive cyclical correction.
With the recent softening in the economy and lowered economic
growth expectations for 2011 and 2012, the environment may at best
only support a relatively modest recovery in housing metrics over
the next year and a half.  Moreover, RYL's underperformance
relative to its peers in certain operational and financial
categories during recent quarters, and its slimming cash position
penalizes the ratings and influences the Outlook.

SHASTA LAKE: Hearing on Ch. 11 Plan Confirmation Set for Feb. 8
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California
will convene a hearing on Feb. 8, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., to consider
the confirmation of Shasta Lake Resorts LP's Chapter 11 Plan.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 29, 2011,
according to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan of Reorganization
dated as of Oct. 28, 2011, proposes to pay the Bank of America,
N.A.'s secured claims in full from the Debtor's future operating
revenues and from sale of excess houseboat inventory.  The Plan
also provides payment in full at the Plan Effective Date to those
unclassified claims and classes of claims which the Bankruptcy
Code requires to be paid on the Effective Date, except to those
classes of claims which agree otherwise, and payment in full over
time to those classes of claims which the Bankruptcy Code requires
or allows payment in full over time.  The Plan provides for two
classes of secured claims, five classes of non-priority unsecured
claims; one class of unclassified priority claims; and one class
of equity interests.

Under the Plan, the Debtor will continue to market and offer to
sell its used houseboat inventory to pay down the Class 2 Claim.
To the extent new houseboats are needed to refresh the Debtor's
stock of houseboats for rent, it will finance that need through
leasing, by which individuals will purchase and place new
houseboat inventory with the Debtor in exchange for a percentage
of rental income, which is a financing mechanism the Debtor has
successfully implemented and has the ability to do so in the
future.

SMITHFIELD FOODS: Fitch Lifts Rating Senior Unsec. Debt to 'BB-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded the following ratings of Smithfield
Foods, Inc. (Smithfield; NYSE: SFD).

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB-'from 'B+';
  -- Senior unsecured debt to 'BB-' from 'B/RR5'.

Fitch has simultaneously affirmed the following ratings:

  -- Asset-based Inventory Revolver at 'BB+';
  -- Secured term loan at 'BB+';
  -- Secured notes at 'BB+'.

Recovery ratings have been withdrawn due to Smithfield's lower
overall probability of default.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.  At Oct. 30, 2011, Smithfield had
approximately $2.2 billion of total debt, inclusive of about
$40 million of unamortized debt discounts.

Rating Rationale:

This rating action follows the revision of Smithfield's Rating
Outlook to Positive from Stable on June 16, 2011.  The upgrade is
due to considerable debt reduction concurrent with consistently
better than expected operating performance and credit statistics.
Smithfield has paid off approximately $1 billion of debt since the
fiscal year ended May 2, 2010.

The two notch upgrade of Smithfield's unsecured debt reflects the
firm's significant deleveraging.  Furthermore, Fitch believes the
relatively low amount of higher priority secured debt improves
recovery for unsecured bondholders if there was an event of
default.  At Oct. 30, 2011, about 35% of Smithfield's debt was
secured while 65% was unsecured.

Smithfield's ratings incorporate Fitch's expectation that total
debt-to-operating income will approximate 3.0 times (x) to 4.0x
and that the firm will generate FCF in most years.  As such,
ratings have room to withstand modest additional leverage
resulting from lower operating earnings or small-to-mid size
acquisitions.

The company's ratings recognize the negative impact volatile grain
and potentially lower pork and live hog prices can have on it's
earnings and operating cash flow.  Additionally, Fitch believes
Smithfield's lack of diversification across proteins results in
higher business risk.

Partially offsetting these negatives is the firm's meaningful and
growing portfolio of branded value added packaged meats products.
For the fiscal year ended May 1, 2011, Smithfield had $5.7 billion
of packaged meats sales which represented 47% of its total $12.2
billion of annual revenue.  The largest of the firm's core brands
include Farmland and Smithfield, each with over $1 billion of
sales. Other large brands include Eckrich, Armour, John Morrell,
and Cook's.

Rating Drivers:

Meaningful additional deleveraging such that debt levels are
maintained below $2 billion and total debt-to-operating EBITDA
is sustained below 3.0x could result in future upgrades of
Smithfield's IDR and senior unsecured debt.  Fitch believes lower
debt levels would further lessen the impact of periodic downturns
in the pork industry on Smithfield's credit profile.

Conversely, a more aggressive financial strategy characterized by
large debt-financed acquisitions or share repurchases would be
viewed negatively.  Materially higher debt levels or considerably
weaker operating earnings and cash flow that results in total
debt-to-operating EBITDA consistently above 5.0x could result
in a downgrade.

Credit Statistics:

During the LTM period ended Oct. 30, 2011, Smithfield generated
over $1.2 billion of operating EBITDA and had an operating EBITDA
margin of more than 9.0%, well above an average of about 6% since
2001.  Total debt-to-operating EBITDA was 1.9x, in line with
levels at the fiscal year ended May 1, 2011 while operating
EBITDA-to-gross interest expense increased to 5.2x from 4.4x.

LTM FCF was $64.4 million, down from the $439.6 million generated
during fiscal 2011.  Smithfield's FCF during the six-month
period ended Oct. 30, 2011 was negatively affected by high
seasonal working capital requirements, voluntary pension fund
contributions, and heightened capital expenditures to support
additional investments in its packaged meats capabilities. Fitch
believes Smithfield is capable of generating an average of about
$100 million of FCF annually.

Recent Operating Performance:

Fitch believes Smithfield's consolidated operating earnings could
continue to track at or above normalized levels through the first
half of fiscal 2013.  Industry fundamentals remain favorable with
good export demand, particular from Asia, and relatively stable
pork supply.  Furthermore, pork consumption trends in the U.S.
are expected to improve in 2012. These operating conditions
should provide support to hog and pork prices in the near term.
Smithfield is also benefiting from the realization of $125 million
of annualized efficiency improvements in its pork segment and is
on track to achieve $90 million of annual benefit from
restructuring its hog production business by fiscal 2013.
For the first six-months of fiscal 2012, the period ended Oct. 30,
2011, consolidated sales increased 9% to $6.4 billion due mainly
to higher pricing. Average selling prices in Smithfield's pork
segment were up 9% versus the same period last year while volumes
rose 1%. The firm's pork segment represented 84% of net sales and
69% of operating profit excluding corporate expenses in fiscal
2011. Consolidated gross profit increased 3% to $826.7 despite
higher raw material costs and Smithfield remained profitable in
all of its business segments. Reported operating profit declined
12.6% or $57.8 million to $397.9 million due mainly to a $39
million litigation-related cash charge and lower equity income
from its 37% interest in Campofrio Food Group, Inc. and Mexican
joint ventures.

During the same period, Smithfield used internally generated cash
to repay $77.8 million of unsecured notes due Aug. 1, 2011 and to
repurchase $37.1 million of its 10% senior secured notes due July
15, 2014 and $110.6 million of common stock. The firm also made a
$100 million voluntary pension contribution, as mentioned
previously. Cash declined from $374.7 million at the end of fiscal
2011 to $136.4 million at Oct. 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Upcoming Maturities:

Smithfield has good liquidity and financial flexibility. At Oct.
30, 2011, the firm had $1.1 billion of liquidity consisting of an
undrawn $925 million inventory-based revolver and the $136.4
million of cash mentioned above. The firm's $275 million accounts
receivable securitization, which expires June 9, 2014, was nearly
fully drawn due to seasonal working capital requirements but has
since been repaid. The inventory revolver is due June 9, 2016.
However, it will mature on March 15, 2014 if the outstanding
principal balance of the company's 10% senior secured notes due
July 15, 2014, net cash in excess of $75 million, exceeds $300
million on that date. The notes had an original face value of $850
million when issued in July and August of 2009 but, due to
periodic market purchases, approximately $600 million are
currently outstanding.

Smithfield does not have any significant debt due in fiscal 2012
and fiscal 2013. Significant upcoming maturities include $160
million of 7.75% senior unsecured notes due May 15, 2013, $400
million of 4% convertible notes due June 30, 2013, and the roughly
$600 million of 10% 2014 secured notes mentioned above.
Smithfield's $200 million secured term loan due June 9, 2016 does
not amortize but requires the firm to pay $25 million of principal
on June 9, 2015.

Financial Covenants and Significant Debt Terms:

Smithfield has considerable cushion under the maximum leverage and
minimum interest coverage financial maintenance covenants. The
firm's funded debt to capitalization ratio, which was
approximately 39% at Oct. 30, 2011, may not exceed 50% and its
minimum EBITDA to interest expense must be at least 2.5x.
Smithfield is allowed to incur a limited but meaningful amount of
incremental debt as long as it is in compliance with these
covenants but has indicated that it has no intentions to lever up
its balance sheet. Smithfield may be required to repurchase all of
its outstanding notes at 101% of principal plus interest if there
is a change of control.

STANFORD FIN'L: Judge to Rule If Ponzi Scheme Covered by SIPC
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a U.S. District Judge in Washington held a hearing
Jan. 24 on the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission
to force the Securities Investor Protection Corp. to initiate a
liquidation of the R. Allen Stanford Ponzi scheme.  If granted,
SIPC would pay both costs of the liquidation and at least a
portion of customers' claims.  SIPC answered by arguing that the
Stanford fraud involves certificates of deposit issued by a bank
in Antigua, not a broker in the U.S. that's a member of SIPC.
SIPC says that its mandate from Congress is to provide payment
only for claims of customers of brokers that are covered by SIPC.
The case is Securities and Exchange Commission v. Securities
Investor Protection Corp., 11-mc-00678, U.S. District Court,
District of Columbia (Washington).

               About Stanford International Bank

Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --

Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under management
or advisement.  Stanford Private Wealth Management serves more
than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.

On Feb. 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order
appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records
of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control.  The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.

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

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

The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342, U.S. District
Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is SEC
v. Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S. District
Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

TBS INTERNATIONAL: Receives Non-Compliance Notice from Nasdaq
-------------------------------------------------------------
TBS International plc received formal notification from The Nasdaq
Stock Market that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq's continued
listing standard under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C).  The
Company failed to meet this listing standard because the market
value of the Company's Class A ordinary shares for each trading
day in the 30-day period from Nov. 29, 2011, to Jan. 11, 2012, was
less than $5,000,000.  The Company has 180 days, or until July 10,
2012, to regain compliance by having the market value of the
Company's Class A ordinary shares close at $5,000,000 or more for
a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.  If the Company fails to
regain compliance, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the
Company that the Company's Class A ordinary shares will be subject
to suspension and delisting procedures.  As previously disclosed,
the Company expects that, unless the closing bid price for its
Class A ordinary shares exceeds $1.00 for 10 consecutive days
prior to March 26, 2012, Nasdaq will provide written notice to the
Company that its Class A ordinary shares will be subject to
suspension and delisting procedures.

                    About TBS International plc

Dublin, Ireland-based TBS International plc (NASDAQ: TBSI)
-- http://www.tbsship.com/-- provides worldwide shipping
solutions to a diverse client base of industrial shippers through
its Five Star Service: ocean transportation, projects,
operations, port services and strategic planning.  The TBS
shipping network operates liner, parcel and dry bulk services,
supported by a fleet of multipurpose tweendeckers and
handysize/handymax bulk carriers, including specialized heavy-
lift vessels and newbuild tonnage.  TBS has developed its
franchise around key trade routes between Latin America and
China, Japan and South Korea, as well as select ports in North
America, Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

The Company reported a net loss of US$247.76 million on US$411.83
million of total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of US$67.04 million on US$302.51 million
of total revenue during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $55.16 million on $282.64
million of total revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $29.21 million on $311.06 million of
total revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $659.28
million in total assets, $409.77 million in total liabilities and
$249.51 million in total shareholders' equity.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  PwC believes
that the Company will not be in compliance with the financial
covenants under its credit facilities during 2011, which under
the agreements would make the debt callable.  According to PwC,
this has created uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to
fulfill its financial commitments as they become due.

As reported in the TCR on Feb. 8, 2011, TBS International on
Jan. 31, 2011, announced that it had entered into amendments to
its credit facilities with all of its lenders, including AIG
Commercial Equipment, Commerzbank AG, Berenberg Bank and Credit
Suisse and syndicates led by Bank of America, N.A., The Royal
Bank of Scotland plc and DVB Group Merchant Bank (the "Credit
Facilities").  The amendments restructure the Company's debt
obligations by revising the principal repayment schedules under
the Credit Facilities, waiving any existing defaults, revising
the financial covenants, including covenants related to the
Company's consolidated leverage ratio, consolidated interest
coverage ratio and minimum cash balance, and modifying other
terms of the Credit Facilities.

The Company currently expects to be in compliance with all
financial covenants and other terms of the amended Credit
Facilities through maturity.

As a condition to the restructuring of the Company's credit
facilities, three significant shareholders who also are key
members of TBS' management agreed on Jan. 25, 2011, to provide up
to US$10 million of new equity in the form of Series B Preference
Shares and deposited funds in an escrow account to facilitate
satisfaction of this obligation.  In partial satisfaction of this
obligation, on Jan. 28, 2011, these significant shareholders
purchased an aggregate of 30,000 of the Company's Series B
Preference Shares at US$100 per share directly from TBS in a
private placement.


TEE INVESTMENT: Receiver Can Employ Armstrong Teasdale as Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada has granted
the application of Terrence S. Daly, in his capacity as court-
appointed receiver for Tee Investment Company, Limited
Partnership, for the employment of Armstrong Teasdale as his

       operation of the Property and regarding other matters of
       bankruptcy law;

   (b) attend meetings and negotiate with representatives of
       Debtor, creditors, and other parties in interest;

   (c) take all necessary actions to assist Receiver with
       protection and preservation of the Property, including
       prosecuting actions on Receiver's behalf, defending any
       action commenced against Receiver, and representing
       Receiver's interests in negotiations concerning all
       litigation in which Receiver is involved;

   (d) prepare, on the Receiver's behalf, all motions,
       applications, answers, orders, reports, and papers

       and

   (g) perform all other necessary legal services and provide all
       other necessary legal advise to the Receiver in connection
       with the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Armstrong Teasdale will charge the Receiver hourly rates
consistent with the rates Armstrong Teasdale charges in bankruptcy
and non-bankruptcy matters of this type.  The Debtors agree to
reimburse Armstrong Teasdale for actual, necessary expenses.

To the best of the Receiver's knowledge, Armstrong Teasdale is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)

TEKNI-PLEX INC: Moody's Lowers CFR to 'Caa2'; Outlook Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the corporate family rating
for Tekni-Plex Inc to Caa2 from Caa1. Moody's also downgraded the
rating on the senior secured term loan to Caa1 from B3. The
ratings outlook remains negative. The downgrade reflects
continuing deterioration in operating performance, weak credit
metrics and further reduction in cushion under financial covenants
leaving little headroom for negative variance in operating
performance.

Moody's took these rating actions:

-Downgraded CFR to Caa2 from Caa1

-Downgraded PDR to Caa2 from Caa1

-Downgraded $285 million senior secured Term Loan due 2013 to Caa1
(LGD 3-33%) from B3 (LGD 3-34%)

The ratings outlook is negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Caa2 Corporate Family Rating and negative outlook reflect
lower-than-expected earnings and free cash flow due to weakness in
certain business segments and lack of pricing power and long-term
contracts with cost pass-through provisions. Tekni-Plex has a
limited percentage of business under contract with cost pass-
through provisions, exposing the company to resin and other raw
material cost volatility. The rating also reflects weak internal
controls over financial reporting that the company is trying to
address as well as further deterioration in the cushion under
financial covenants. Any negative variance in unit volumes or
operating performance could adversely impact credit metrics and
strain liquidity. Moody's notes that Tekni-Plex has equity cure
rights, but they have not been exercised to date.

The rating is supported by the high concentration of sales in the
less cyclical food and healthcare markets, completed and ongoing
cost-cutting and rationalization, and long-term customer
relationships. The company also benefits from some exposure to
custom pharmaceutical and medical product end markets. Despite
these strengths, significant improvement in credit metrics is
uncertain due to the lack of pricing power and limited business
under long-term contracts with cost-pass through provisions.

The ratings could be downgraded if operating performance and/or
the cushion under financial covenants decline further.

The ratings could be upgraded if Tekni-Plex sustainably improves
credit metrics and cushion under its financial covenants. An
upgrade would also be contingent upon the maintenance of adequate
liquidity and stability in the operating and competitive
environment. Specifically, the ratings could be upgraded if free
cash flow to debt turns positive, debt to EBITDA remains below
7.0, the EBIT margin increases to the mid single digits, and
EBIT/Interest increases above 0.8 times.

The principal methodology used in rating Tekni-Plex was the Global
Packaging Manufacturers: Metal, Glass, and Plastic Containers
Industry Methodology published in June 2009. Other methodologies
used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-
Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June
2009.


TMP DIRECTIONAL: Obtains Final Approval to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath, on Jan. 17, 2012, gave
final approval to TMP Directional Marketing, LLC, et al., to use
cash collateral of General Electric Capital Corporation, as L/C
Issuer, Lender and Prepetition Agent, and the other Prepetition
Secured Parties to fund the orderly wind-down of the Debtors'
businesses.

The Debtors' authorization to use Cash Collateral will
automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (x) June 2,
2012, (y) the effective date of any plan of liquidation, and (z)
the first calendar day following the commencement of any adversary
proceeding challenging the Debtors' stipulations or any adversary
proceeding against any prepetition secured parties related to the
prepetition obligations or liens.

The Troubled Company Reporter previously reported that in June
2011, the Debtor repaid in full all outstanding principal,
interest and fees (other than accrued unpaid professional fees and
expenses) under the Prepetition Loan Documents.  As of the
Petition Date, the only outstanding Prepetition Obligations are
contingent and unliquidated indemnification obligations under
section 9.1 of the Prepetition Credit Agreement and certain other
reimbursable costs and expenses of the Prepetition Secured
Parties, including attorneys' fees and expenses, as of the
Petition Date.

The Prepetition Obligations are secured by liens on substantially
all of the existing and after-acquired property of the TMP
Directional, a pledge of 100% of the interests of TMP Directional,
50% of the equity interests of non-Debtor affiliate TMP
Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, and 65% of the equity
interests of non-Debtor affiliated TMP Ltd. (Canada).

As adequate protection, solely to the extent on any diminution in
value of the Prepetition Obligations, the Prepetition Agent, for
the benefit of itself and the other Prepetition Secured Parties,
is granted additional and replacement liens on any and all
presently owned and hereafter acquired assets of the Debtors of
the Debtors and their estates, except that the Collateral will not
include any action of Claim under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

As further adequate protection, the Prepetition Agent and the
Prepetition Secured Parties are granted as and to the extent
provided by Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code an
allowed superpriority administrative expense claim in each of the
cases and any successor cases, junior only to the Carve Out.

A $300,000 postpetition professional expense reserve may be
established.  The professional fee carve-out will not exceed $1.2
million ($1 million being allocated to the Debtor professionals
and $200,000 being allocated to the Committee Professionals).

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on Dec. 13, 2011, that TMP
Directional said it is hiring CRG and Mr. Nash in accordance with
the "Jay Alix" protocol established with the Office of the United
States Trustee for the District of Delaware.  In October 2001, the
Delaware Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement between the U.S.
Trustee and Jay Alix and Associates, under which Jay Alix, along
with its affiliates, agreed to abide by certain guidelines in
seeking to be retained in future Chapter 11 cases.  The
stipulations, each dated Sept. 11, 2001, were entered in the cases
In re Safety-Kleen Corp., No. 00-2303 (Bankr. D. Del.), and In re
Harnischfeger Industries Inc., No. 99-2171 (Bankr. D. Del.).

CRG has been providing services to the Debtors since December
2010.  Mr. Nash was appointed to the Debtors' board of directors
in May 2011.

The Debtors will pay CRG for the services of Mr. Nash and other
CRG professionals at their customary hourly billing rates, which
range from $175 to $675 an hour.  The Debtors have provided CRG
with a $250,000 retainer.  The Debtors also have paid the firm
$381,233 in the 90 days prior to the petition date for monthly
prepetition fees and expenses.

CRG attests that neither CRG nor any professional employee or
independent contractor of CRG has any connection with or any
interest adverse to the Debtors, their significant creditors, or
any other significant party in interest known to CRG, or their
attorneys and accountants.  CRG is "disinterested" as defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

TRAILER BRIDGE: Seacor Will Take Control Under Chapter 11 Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mark Basch at Daily Record reports that, under Trailer Bridge
Inc.'s Chapter 11 reorganization plan filed last weekend in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Florida, Seacor Holdings Inc. will apparently
control a majority of Trailer Bridge's stock and have three seats
on the company's seven-member board of directors.

According to the report, bankruptcy court records do not specify
how much stock Seacor will have, but the reorganization plan calls
for holders of Trailer Bridge's senior secured notes to be issued
91 percent of the company's stock.  Court filings do say that
Seacor holds a majority of the notes, although they don't indicate
the exact amount.

The report says Trailer Bridge is hoping to emerge from Chapter 11
by the end of March 2012, but its plan still needs bankruptcy
court approval.

The report notes the plan is facing opposition from some unsecured
creditors, so the plan could be tweaked before confirmation.

TRANSDIGM GROUP: Fitch Keeps 'B' Long-Term Issuer Default Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings expects TransDigm Group Inc.'s and its indirect
subsidiary TransDigm, Inc.'s (TDI) ratings to remain unchanged
following an announced acquisition of AmSafe Global Holdings, Inc.
(AmSafe).  TDG plans to finance the pending acquisition by a
combination of cash and senior secured debt and is expected to
close by the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2012.
Approximately $3.1 billion of outstanding debt is covered by these
ratings.  The ratings are detailed at the end of this release.

Fitch expects to review the ratings once the pending deal closes
and final details about the acquisition financing are disclosed.
Based on Fitch's estimates of TDG's cash position as of Dec. 31,
2011, pro forma EBITDA and pro forma leverage (debt to EBITDA)
incorporating estimated new debt as of the end of fiscal 2012,
Fitch does not anticipate any rating actions.  However, if a
negative rating action occurs, Fitch expects that at most it
would be a one notch downgrade of the company's senior unsecured
obligations.

TDG's ratings are supported by the company's strong free cash
flow (FCF: cash from operations less capital expenditures and
dividends), good liquidity, and financial flexibility which
includes a favorable debt maturity schedule.

TDG benefits from:

  -- High profit margins and low capital expenditures;

  -- Diversification of its portfolio of products which support a
     variety of commercial and military platforms/programs;

  -- A large percentage of sales from a relatively stable
     aftermarket business;

  -- The company's role as a sole source provider for the majority
     of its sales;

  -- Management's history of successful acquisitions and
     subsequent integration;

  -- No material pension liabilities and no other post employment
     benefit (OPEB) obligations.

Fitch's ratings concerns include TDG's:

  -- High leverage;

  -- Long-term cash deployment strategy which focuses on
     acquisitions;

  -- Weak collateral support for the secured bank facility in
     terms of asset coverage;

  -- Risks to core defense spending after fiscal 2012 (however,
     this risk is mitigated by TDG's relatively low exposure to
     the defense budget and by a highly diversified and program-
     agnostic product portfolio).

Fitch notes that TDG is exposed to the cyclicality of the
aerospace industry, as it reported several quarters of organic
sales declines during fiscal 2009 and 2010 driven by lower demand
for aftermarket parts and by production cuts by commercial
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).  While market cyclicality
is somewhat mitigated by growth from acquisitions, high margins
and sales diversification to the defense sector, the expected
decline in defense spending coupled with a possible downturn may
result in lower FCF.

The Recovery Ratings and notching in TDG's debt structure reflect
Fitch's recovery expectations under a scenario in which distressed
enterprise value is allocated to the various debt classes. The
expected recovery for bank-debt holders remains 'RR1', indicating
recovery of 91%-100%.  The senior subordinated notes are 'RR5'
which reflects an expectation of recovery in the 11%-30% range.

Future Rating Actions

Fitch is unlikely to consider a positive rating action in the near
future given TDG's current leverage and the announced anticipated
increase of its senior secured debt.  A negative rating action may
be considered should TDG's pro forma 2012 leverage exceed Fitch's
estimates and will depend on the final details of TDG's funding of
AmSafe acquisition, most notably amount of acquisition price that
is debt-financed, pro forma EBITDA including synergies, and
potential for margin increases.  Fitch may also consider a
negative rating action should TDG complete another acquisition
financed by debt.

Leverage

TDG's leverage increased significantly following the McKechnie
Aerospace Holdings (MAH) acquisition at the beginning of fiscal
2011.  TDG's leverage increased to above 7.0 times (x) following
the MAH acquisition from 5.0x at the end of fiscal 2010.  At the
end of fiscal 2011, the leverage receded to 5.6x. TDG had debt of
$3.1 billion debt at Sept. 30, 2011 compared to $1.8 billion at
Sept. 30, 2010.  TDG's leverage is somewhat high for the rating;
however, it is mitigated by strong margins and positive FCF
generation.  Fitch projects TDG's leverage to reach 2009 levels of
4.4x by mid-fiscal 2014 as a result of the projected EBITDA
growth.

Liquidity

At Sept. 30, 2011, TDG's liquidity consisted of $376 million in
cash and $237 million available under its revolver ($245 million
less $8 million in letters of credit), partially offset by $15.5
million in current amortization payments under the $1.55 million
term loan.  Year over year, TDG's liquidity increased by $165
million with the growth primarily attributable to healthy
operating cash flows and divestitures of two businesses valued
at approximately $272 million, partially offset by post-MAH
acquisitions.  TDG does not have major maturities until 2017.
Fitch expects TDG to maintain a solid liquidity position in
fiscal 2012.

Cash Generation

Excluding a special dividend paid to shareholders in 2010, TDG
generated nearly $200 million annual FCF over the past four years.
In fiscal 2011, FCF totaled $239 million, up from negative $220
million in fiscal 2010.  The negative FCF in 2010 was primarily
due to the large one-time dividend payment.  Solid positive FCF
generation is aided by typically low capital spending and high
margins.  Capital expenditures tend to be less than 2% of sales
per year.  In 2011, TDG generated approximately $272 million in
cash by divesting two businesses.  Fitch does not expect
significant cash generation via divestitures going forward.  Fitch
expects TDG to generate approximately $250 million of FCF in 2012.
Projected cash flows should be sufficient to fund day-to-day
operations while allowing the company the flexibility to pursue
modest future acquisitions.

Cash Deployment

Acquisitions are the main focus of TDG's cash deployment strategy.
In fiscal 2011, TDG made three acquisitions totaling approximately
$1.7 billion which included its largest acquisition of MAH for
approximately $1.3 billion.  Historically, TDG had not paid
regular dividends to its shareholders and had not engaged in
significant share repurchases, though TDG's board authorized a
$100 million share repurchase program on Aug. 22, 2011.

On Nov. 8, 2011, TDG announced the acquisition of Harco
Laboratories, Inc. for approximately $84 million in cash.  Fitch's
ratings include expectation of multiple small- to medium-size
acquisitions in the next several years.  Fitch does not expect to
see debt reduction or significant dividend and share repurchase
activities.

Integration of MAH

Fitch viewed the integration of MAH as a material operating risk
because it represented the largest acquisition in TDG's history
and had significantly lower operating margins compared to those
of TDG.  Through the first three quarters of ownership, TDG
managed the integration process well as evidenced by rebounding
EBITDA margins in the last quarter of fiscal 2011.  MAH's
integration was successful due to a combination of better pricing
of MAH products, an improved cost structure from consolidating
manufacturing facilities, and the ongoing recovery of the
commercial aftermarket.  Additionally, the rapid improvement of
the EBITDA margins was aided by the divestitures of several
lower margin former MAH businesses in the second quarter of
2011.

Industry Overview:

TDG is exposed to three business sectors: commercial airplane
original equipment (OE), commercial aftermarket, and defense (both
original equipment and aftermarket).  TDG's sales growth rate
during the latest economic downturn was primarily driven by
acquisitions and the stability of defense spending which
significantly moderated year-over-year organic sales declines in
commercial OE and aftermarket sales.

Fitch considers the conditions within the industry to be
supportive of the rating. Commercial aerospace markets have
improved over the past year with increased production by major OE
manufacturers and strong aftermarket activity.  The industry's
long-term health is supported by a growing global demand for air
travel, and increasing demand for fuel-efficient and lighter
weight modern planes.  TDG has a niche position in the market
because of the proprietary nature of many of the company's
products and as a result, has the ability to charge high margins.

Approximately 27% of TDG's revenues are derived from the defense
industry.  High levels of defense spending currently support TDG's
ratings, but the Department of Defense (DoD) budget environment
is highly uncertain after fiscal 2012 because of large U.S.
government budget deficits and the potential for large, automatic
spending cuts beginning in fiscal 2013.  Fitch believes that
modest declines in defense spending would not lead to negative
rating actions given TDG's liquidity position and diversified
product portfolio.

The end of the 'Supercommittee' negotiations without an agreement
increases the probability of Fitch's harshest DoD spending
scenario ('sequestration'), but Fitch expects less severe and/or
more orderly spending scenarios are possible because Congress
could act to avoid or modify sequestration's automatic cuts
beginning in January 2013.  Fitch estimates that DoD spending
reductions in the sequestration scenario would total nearly
$1 trillion over 10 years.  In Fitch's view, the most negative
element of this scenario is an estimated 12%-13% decline in
spending in fiscal 2013, which Fitch understands would be made
across the board without consideration of program health or
national security priorities.

TDG's exposure to DoD spending is mitigated by a program-agnostic
and highly diversified portfolio of products.  In addition, most
of the projected DOD 'cuts' are from projected budget growth and
come off of existing high spending levels.  Inflation-adjusted
spending will decline, but modestly over 10 years; TDG should have
time to adjust cost structures.

Fitch currently rates TDG and its subsidiary TDI as follows:

TDG:

  -- Long-term IDR 'B'.

TDI:

  -- IDR 'B';
  -- Senior secured revolving credit facility 'BB/RR1';
  -- Senior secured term loan 'BB/RR1';
  -- Senior subordinated notes 'B-/RR5'.


TRANSWEST RESORT: Southwest Takes Over Two Resort Worth $92MM
-------------------------------------------------------------
Arizona Daily Star reports that Southwest Value Partners took over
the Westin La Paloma and a South Carolina resort as part of the
Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization of the resort's former
owners, which were affiliate companies of Transwest Partners/NCH
Corp.

The report notes the bankruptcy court has since valued the two
properties at $92 million.

According to the report, Transwest Partners, a company managed by
Michael J. Hanson and Randall G. Dix, purchased the Westin La
Paloma and the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa in South
Carolina in 2007, taking on massive debt to pay for the
properties.

The report says unable to pay back $240.5 million in mortgage
debt, the owners faced foreclosure.

Under the terms of the bankruptcy plan, Hanson and Dix lose their
ownership stakes in the resorts.  Also, the resort owners' senior
lender will receive the full amount of its claim -- $247 million
-- paid over 21 years, the report quotes Susan Boswell, the
debtors' bankruptcy attorney, as saying.

The report says the senior lender has appealed U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Eileen Hollowell's approval of the plan, with attorneys for
the lender arguing that it violates bankruptcy code.

The report adds that U.S. District Judge Raner C. Collins has
denied the senior lender's request that the plan -- which allowed
Southwest Value Partners to take ownership of the bankrupt
companies -- be put on hold while that appeal makes its way
through the court.  According the report, with Southwest Value
Partners having already taken over the resorts, what, if any,
effect that appeal has yet to be decided.

real estate investment firm based in San Diego and founded in

TRIUS THERAPEUTICS: Receives $5MM Milestone Payment from Bayer
--------------------------------------------------------------
Trius Therapeutics, Inc., has earned a $5 million milestone
payment from Bayer HealthCare for the achievement of all efficacy
and safety objectives in the TR701-112 Phase 3 pivotal study which
tested the oral dosage form of tedizolid phosphate versus the
comparator linezolid in patients with acute bacterial skin and
skin structure infections.

The 112 study is the first of two pivotal Phase 3 trials designed
to support the filing of a New Drug Application with the as well
as a Marketing Authorization Application with the European
Medicines Agency.  Trius initiated the second Phase 3 trial of
tedizolid phosphate in ABSSSI, designated TR701-113, for its
intravenous (IV) to oral transition therapy in September of last
year and expects to report top-line data in early 2013.  The 113
study is the first clinical trial conducted in collaboration with
Bayer HealthCare and will recruit patients in North and South
America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

                     About Trius Therapeutics

San Diego, Calif.-based Trius Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSRX) --
http://www.triusrx.com/-- is a biopharmaceutical company focused
on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative
antibiotics for serious, life-threatening infections.  The
Company's first product candidate, torezolid phosphate, is an IV
and orally administered second generation oxazolidinone being
developed for the treatment of serious gram-positive infections,
including those caused by MRSA.  In addition to the company's
torezolid phosphate clinical program, it is currently conducting
two preclinical programs using its proprietary discovery platform
to develop antibiotics to treat infections caused by gram-negative
bacteria.

The Company has incurred losses since its inception and it
anticipates that it will continue to incur losses for at least the
next several years.  The Company does not anticipate that its
existing working capital, including the funds received on
Aug. 6, 2010, from its IPO, alone will be sufficient to fund its
operations through the successful development and
commercialization of torezolid phosphate or any other products it
develops.  As a result, the Company says it will need to raise
additional capital to fund its operations and continue to conduct
clinical trials to support potential regulatory approval of
torezolid phosphate and any other product candidates.

The Company reported a net loss of $23.86 million on $8.03 million
of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with
a net loss of $22.68 million on $5.01 million of total revenues
during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $5.73 million on $36
million of total revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $15.11 million on $5.51 million
of total revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $77.02
million in total assets, $15.64 million in total liabilities and
$61.38 million in total stockholders' equity.

"We are pleased to report our consistent achievement of objectives
since our IPO in August 2010," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D.,
president and chief executive officer of Trius.  "We look forward
to continuing our track record of solid execution in our clinical
trials and company development."

ago.

The Company reported a net loss of $5.86 million on $64,308 of

months ended Nov. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $897,899
for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Nov. 30, 2011, showed $11.86
million in total assets, $5.36 million in total liabilities and
$6.49 million in total stockholders' equity.

In November of 2011, the Company ceased all operations in Turkey
and will sell its Turkish subsidiary, including the Investment in

assets and liabilities of the Turkish subsidiary as assets of
discontinued operations at Nov. 30, 2011, and has segregated its
operating results and presented them separately as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented.

VANTAGE SPECIALTIES: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Corp. Family Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a CFR of B2 to Vantage
Specialties Chemicals, Inc. (VSC), and rated the proposed $300
million senior secured guaranteed credit facilities issued by
Vantage Specialties, Inc. (Vantage -- borrower) at B2 (LGD4, 51%).

Proceeds from the new bank facility are expected to be used to
repay a portion of the sponsor's January 5, 2012 all cash purchase
price, at an 8.2x EBITDA multiple, with a more traditional
proposed LBO capital structure that includes credit facilities
totaling $300 million and common equity of $250 million. The
rating on VSC and Vantage's proposed credit facilities is subject
to final review of the offering documents at closing. The rating
outlook is stable.

VSC, a Chicago based manufacturer of oleochemicals and specialty
derivative chemicals, has been acquired by an affiliate of The
Jordan Company and certain members of VSC's management team. In
addition to a significant $250 million equity component, proceeds
from the senior secured guaranteed term loan B will be used to
close on the permanent financing transaction, which is expected
later this quarter. A large portion of the equity component takes
the initial form of a deeply subordinated PIK preferred stock held
by essentially the same group that comprises the owners.

Ratings Assigned:

Vantage Specialties Chemicals, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating -- B2

Probability of Default Rating -- B2

Vantage Specialties, Inc.

$60 million 5 year senior secured revolving credit facility -- B2
(LGD4, 51%)

$240 million 6 year senior secured term loan B -- B2 (LGD4, 51%)

Outlook: Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) assigned to VSC is
constrained mainly by the initial elevated leverage, its recent 4-
year history of multiple acquisitions, the operational dependence
of the business on two Illinois based manufacturing sites, and the
lack of audited history of VSC's operational performance as the
company exists post acquisitions. Moody's notes that while the
ratings are forward looking, the dependence on un-audited proforma
management recreations of historical performance is a limiting
factor. Of additional concern is the ongoing narrow financial
disclosure that is inherent with a non-SEC filer.

Upon completion of the January 2012 financing transactions, pro
forma Debt/EBITDA is expected to be about 4.3x (reflecting Moody's
standard analytical adjustments) assuming no use of the $60
million revolver. Other factors constraining the ratings include
the potential weakening of the company's specialty chemical
businesses in the event of a deteriorating global economy. Moody's
notes that VSC's chemical businesses on a proforma unaudited basis
performed reasonably well in the 2008 and 2009 weak global
economy, generating adjusted EBITDA of $33 million and $34 million
in 2008 and 2009 respectively. A return to this level of EBITDA
would result in leverage of 8.8x assuming full use of the
revolver. Since this weak period, VSC has posted positive EBITDA
growth, aided by volume growth, price increases and cost saving
programs that have resulted in 2011 forecasted adjusted EBITDA in
excess of $55 million.

The company runs its operations through two main complementary
business segments: oleochemicals and specialty derivatives with
more than 1,500 products serving over 3,000 customers in 50
countries. The top 15 customers represent some 30% of VSC's gross
profit. These products are often used in niche applications as
emulsifiers, lubricants, cleansers and other functional
ingredients in personal care, consumer products, and food
industries.

Support for the B2 CFR is provided by the wide range of end uses
for VSC's products including cosmetics, fuel additives,
detergents, and foods with many of the end uses being consumables
resulting in repeat purchases. In many applications, VSC's
products represent a small part of the overall end cost of
production and customers are risk averse to switching fearing the
potential change to a products performance caused by a
competitor's formulation. Still, VSC has multiple competitors in
its two businesses, some of which are divisions of much larger
better financed companies. In addition, in some cases VSC's larger
customers are less likely to rely on sole source contracts and
will have multiple suppliers lessening their aversion to switching
ingredient suppliers. Switching suppliers may not result in large
shifts in volume when VSC and its competitors are operating near
full capacity. When markets are weak the potential for shifts in
volume are greater particularly at larger customers.

The stable outlook recognizes the steady performance of the
oleochemical business, which is aided by the presence of supply
contracts that include monthly cost adjustments that allow for
stable cash generation when raw materials are volatile. Moody's
expects that VSC's revenues will experience modest growth and
maintain good profitability over the next several years, assuming
that it will retain its relationships with its key customers and
continues to move away from commodity to more innovative specialty
applications. There is a distinct difference in the EBITDA per
pound of product sold between the two divisions with the
derivatives selling on average at a higher price per pound than
the oleochemicals. Moody's notes however that the EBITDA margin
for the combined businesses is around 10%. Additionally, the
stable outlook recognizes the considerable equity contributed to
the transaction, some $250 million that represents 51% of the
initial capitalization. The outlook also assumes the US and Europe
do not become mired in another recession and Moody's notes that
VSC has minimal direct exposure to Europe.

Should the company continue to leverage its successful
restructuring efforts into stronger cash flows on a sustained
basis, Moody's would likely consider upgrading the ratings
particularly if free cash flow to debt were to exceed 5% and
Debt/EBITDA were to drop below 3.5 times on a sustainable basis.

The ratings could be downgraded if market conditions in the
company's two core specialty chemical businesses were to
deteriorate significantly, resulting in shrinking cash flow and
leverage above 5.0 times.

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

VSC, based in Chicago, Illinois, is a privately-held, leading,
vertically integrated, specialty chemicals company focused on
naturally derived ingredients from renewable and sustainable
feedstocks. Vantage converts animal and vegetable based raw
materials into widely used products in a range of specialized
applications. The company runs its operations through two main
complementary business segments: oleochemicals and specialty
derivatives. Moody's estimated December 31, 2011 revenues were
approximately $561 million.


VITRO SAB: Bondholders' Appeal Goes to Circuit in March
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Mexican glassmaker Vitro SAB won another skirmish
Jan. 24 in the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans.  Holders of
some of the $1.2 billion in defaulted bonds may end up winning the
war when the circuit court hears arguments in an expedited appeal
in early March.

According to the report, Vitro succeeded in persuading the U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge in Dallas to halt a lawsuit the bondholders filed
in New York state court against Vitro subsidiaries not in
bankruptcy in any country.  The bankruptcy judge ruled that the
state-court suit was automatically halted by the parent's Chapter
15 case because the bondholders wanted the judge to rule that the
subsidiaries should oppose approval of the parent's reorganization
plan.  In a two-page ruling Jan. 24, the appeals court said it was
important to hold an expedited appeal to consider "an issue of
first impression regarding whether the automatic stay extends to
protect Vitro's non-debtor subsidiaries."  The appellate court
told Vitro and the bondholders to file all their briefs by
Feb. 15.

The report relates that in the Jan. 24 ruling, the appeals court
gave Vitro at least a temporary victory by allowing the bankruptcy
court's opinion to stand until the appeal is argued in March.  As
a result, the New York state suit remains frozen.  The Jan. 24
ruling was the second time this month that the circuit court
refused to allow the state suit to go ahead on a temporary basis.

In the New York suit, the bondholders want the judge to rule that
non-bankrupt Vitro subsidiaries must vote against the parent's
reorganization pending in a court in Mexico.  Bondholders are
opposing the Mexican parent's reorganization because it's based on
votes from subsidiaries to overwhelm opposition from bondholders.

                           About Vitro SAB

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

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

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

            Concurso Mercantil & Chapter 15 Proceedings

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

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

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

The Vitro parent told the Mexico stock exchange that it received
sufficient acceptances of its reorganization pending in a court
in Monterrey.  The approval vote was evidently obtained using
claims of affiliates.  The bondholders are opposing the Mexican
reorganization plan because shareholders could retain ownership
while bondholders aren't being paid in full.  Bondholders
previously cited an "independent analyst" who estimated the
Mexican plan was worth 49% to 54% of creditors' claims.

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

                      Chapter 11 Proceedings

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

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

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

The U.S. affiliates subject to the involuntary petitions are
Vitro Chemicals, Fibers & Mining, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case
No.10-47472); Vitro America, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47473); Troper Services, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47474); Super Sky Products, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-
47475); Super Sky International, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
10-47476); VVP Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 0-47477);
Amsilco Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47478);
B.B.O. Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47479);
Binswanger Glass Company (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47480);
Crisa Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47481); VVP
Finance Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47482); VVP
Auto Glass, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47483); V-MX
Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47484); and Vitro
Packaging, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47485).

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

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

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 cases of Vitro America, et al., has selected Sarah
Link Schultz, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, and Michael S. Stamer, Esq., Abid Qureshi, Esq.,
and Alexis Freeman, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP,
in New York, as counsel.  Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P.
serves as financial advisor to the Committee.

The U.S. Vitro companies sold their assets to American Glass
Enterprises LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners Inc., for
US$55 million.


VOICES OF FAITH: Hires Moore Law Group as Co-Bankruptcy Counsel
---------------------------------------------------------------
Voices of Faith Ministries Inc. seeks permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia to employ
the Moore Law Group LLC as co-bankruptcy counsel.  John A. Moore,
Esq., will lead the engagement.

The Debtor is also hiring Geiger Law LLC as co-bankruptcy counsel.

The Debtor attest that the firm is a "disinterested person" as the
term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Prior to the petition date, MLG provided restructuring advice and
general legal counsel to the Debtor.  MLG received a pre-petition
advance retainer in the amount of $2,230.  This pre-petition
amount represents a portion of a $4,000 prepetition retainer
initially transferred by the Debtor to MLG. The balance of the
$4,000 prepetition retainer in the amount of $1,770 was
transferred by MLG to proposed co-counsel Geiger Law LLC.

Prior to filing the petition, the Debtor incurred $2,910 in legal
expenses for pre-petition legal services rendered by MLG. Given
that the amount of such legal services ($2,910) exceeded the
amount of the pre-petition retainer ($2,230), MLG completely
earned and drew down on the full amount of such retainer, leaving
an outstanding balance owed in the amount of $680.  In connection
with the Debtor's engagement of MLG as co-counsel, MLG has agreed
to and expressly waives any entitlement to the Pre-Petition
Balance.

MLG has been employed under general retainer of $10,000 and has
agreed to accept as compensation for its services and
reimbursement of costs.

Mr. Moore's hourly rate is $300.

Voices of Faith Ministries, Inc., based in Stone Mountain,
Georgia, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Ga. Case No.
11-85028) on Dec. 5, 2011.  In its petition, the Debtor estimated
assets and debts of $10 million to $50 million.  The petition was
signed by Gary Hawkins, Sr., CEO.


VOICES OF FAITH: Wants to Use Foundation Capital's Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
Voices of Faith Ministries, Inc. seeks permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia to use cash
collateral to continue its operations and pay utilities,
insurance, taxes and other post-petition obligations.

Foundation Capital Resources claims to hold a properly perfected
security interest in certain of the Debtor's real property and
cash collateral.

The Debtor seeks both interim approval for the use of cash
collateral in accordance with a proposed budget for a six-month
period, and final approval for the use of cash collateral in
accordance with a similar proposed budget.

The amount currently owed to FCR, as of the Petition Date, is
$20,180,000.  As adequate protection, the Debtor proposes to grant
FCR a replacement lien on the post-petition rents and any other
assets of the Debtor acquired post-petition with the cash
collateral to the same extent and in the same priority as its
purported pre-petition lien.  The Debtor believes that the
combined value of its Main Campus, the Conyers Location, the
Conyers Daycare and the Baton Rouge Location is greater than the
amount owed to FCR and that FCR's security interest in such
property, if any, is therefore already adequately protected.

                           *********

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.
