1555 WABASH: Can Use Cash Collateral Through April 30
-----------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Jacqueline P. Cox of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois has authorized 1555 Wabash LLC to
use cash collateral during the period Feb. 1, 2012, through
April 30, 2012.

In return for the Debtor's interim use of cash collateral, AMT
CADC Venture LLC, the Debtor's senior lender, and Weyerhauser
Realty Investors are granted adequate protection for their
purported secured interests:

     1. The Debtor will permit the Lenders to inspect, upon
        reasonable notice, within reasonable hours, the Debtor's
        books and records;

     2. The Debtor shall maintain and pay premiums for insurance
        to cover all of its assets from fire, theft and water
        damage;

     3. The Debtor will maintain sufficient cash reserves for the
        payment of postpetition real estate taxes when such real
        estate taxes become due and payable;

     4. The Debtor shall, upon reasonable request, make available
        to the Lenders evidence of the Lenders' collateral or
        proceeds thereof;

     5. The Debtor will properly maintain the Property in good
        repair and properly manage such Property; and

     6. The Lenders shall be granted valid, perfected, enforceable
        security interests in and to Debtor's post-petition
        assets, including all proceeds and products which are now
        or hereafter become property of this estate to the extent
        and priority of their alleged pre-petition liens, if
        valid, but only to the extent of any diminution in the
        value of such assets during the period from the
        commencement of the Debtor's Chapter 11 case through the
        next hearing on the use of cash collateral.

A copy of the cash collateral order is available for free at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/1555WABASH_2ndcashcollorder.pdf

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 10, 2012,
1555 Wabash sought Court authority to use certain cash and cash
equivalents that allegedly serve as collateral for claims asserted
against the Debtor and its property by AMT CADC Venture and
Weyerhauser as junior lender.  A full-text copy of Wabash's
proposed 4-month budget through April 2012 is available at
http://is.gd/wWxrWI

The cash collateral issues in the Chapter 11 case relate to the
rents generated at the Debtor's property and the funds on deposit
in accounts maintained by the Debtor.  The Senior Lender asserts a
first position mortgage lien and claim against the Property which
purportedly secures a senior mortgage debt of $42,126,967.  In
addition to its mortgage lien on the Property, the Senior Lender
asserts a security interest in and lien upon the rents being
generated at the Property.  The Junior Lender asserts a mortgage
lien and claim against the Property which secures a second
subordinate mortgage debt of $7,492,743.  In addition to its
mortgage lien on the Property, the Junior Lender asserts a
security interest in and lien upon the rents being generated at
the Property.

The Debtor said it needs access to cash collateral to continue to
operate its business and manage its financial affairs and
effectuate an effective reorganization.

According to papers filed by the Debtor in court, the original
mortgage lender was seized by regulators with all loans (including
the Debtor's loan) and related assets being acquired by and
transferred to the Senior Lender.  The Debtor attempted to
negotiate a re-setting of the required sale prices for the
condominium units so as to reflect realistic values for such
condominium units in light of the economic downturn.  Both the
regulators and, then, the Senior Lender refused to adjust these
sale prices.  As a result, the Debtor has been unable to sell the
condominium units (as the sale prices are grossly in excess of
that justified in the marketplace) and has turned to renting the
unsold condominiums as apartment units.

The Debtor's operational and profitability problems are
principally due to the general economic problems facing the
country over the last several years (particularly in real estate).
Despite these issues, the Debtor said it generates substantial
rental income at the Property that will serve as the basis for the
formulation and implementation of an exit strategy from the
Chapter 11 case.

In partial response to an action brought by the Debtor against its
prior mortgage lender and other mechanics lien creditors in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, the Senior Lender filed a
counterclaim which, among other things, seeks to foreclose on the
Property.  On Dec. 22, 2011, the State Court entered an Order in
the Foreclosure appointing a receiver for the Property.

The Chapter 11 case was filed before the receiver took possession
of the Property.

The Debtor has attempted to resolve all of the issues with the
Senior Lender, thus far without success.  The Debtor intends to
continue with settlement negotiations with the Senior Lender.

                        About 1555 Wabash

1555 Wabash LLC owns and operates a 14-story mixed use building
located at 1555 South Wabash, in Chicago, Illinois.  The property
is comprised of 176 residential units plus 11,000 square feet of
commercial space located on the first floor of the building.  The
property was originally developed as condominium units to be sold
at designated sale prices to qualified buyers.  Construction
was generally completed as of the middle of 2009.  Only 36 of the
100 sale contracts closed.  As of the Petition Date, 1555 Wabash
leased 115 of the remaining 140 residential apartment units --
roughly 82% -- to qualified tenants, while the commercial space is
presently vacant.

1555 Wabash LLC filed for Chapter 11 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No.
11-51502) on Dec. 27, 2011, to halt foreclosure of the property.
Judge Jacqueline P. Cox oversees the case.  David K. Welch, Esq.,
at Crane Heyman Simon Welch & Clar, serves as the Debtor's
counsel.  The Debtor scheduled $90,055 in personal property and
said the current value if its condo building is unknown.  The
Debtor also listed $51.6 million in liabilities.  The petition was
signed by Theodore Mazola, president of New West Realty
Development Corp, sole member and manager of the Debtor.

1555 WABASH: Wants to Employ CB Richard Ellis as Appraiser
----------------------------------------------------------
1555 Wabash, LLC, asks the Bankruptcy Court for authorization to
employ Randal Dawson and CB Richard Ellis as appraiser.

In order to properly present evidence at any confirmation hearing
on the bankruptcy plan, the Debtor requires an appraisal of its
Property and the assistance of a witness capable of providing
expert testimony at the confirmation hearing.

The Debtor has selected Mr. Dawson for the reason that he has
considerable experience in matters of this nature and is well
qualified to perform the services.

Mr. Dawson assures the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

Mr. Dawson is requesting a post-petition retainer in the amount of
$20,000.  The Debtor seeks authority to pay the retainer from
available cash.

------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has authorized 1555 Wabash, LLC, to employ
David K. Welch, Arthur G. Simon and Jeffrey C. Dan and the law
firm of Crane, Heyman, Simon, Welch & Clar as counsel.

The Debtor has selected CHSWC because they have considerable
experience in matters of this nature and are well qualified to
perform the services as required in this bankruptcy case.

The Debtor states that it is necessary for it to employ and have
the aid of duly qualified counsel to render these professional
services:

     A. To prepare necessary applications, motions, answers,
        orders, adversary proceedings, reports and other legal
        papers;

     B. To provide the Debtor with legal advice with respect to

261 EAST: Wants Plan Filing Deadline Further Extended to July 20
----------------------------------------------------------------
261 East 78 Realty Corp. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to further extend the deadline for
filing a proposed plan of reorganization to July 20, 2012.

Dan Shaked, Esq., at Shaked & Posner, the counsel for the Debtor,
says that the main issue that is holding up the proposal of a plan
of reorganization is the Debtor's challenge of MB Financial's
standing.  The Debtor does not know how long it will take to
resolve the dispute.  "While it is possible that the parties will
reach a resolution within the 90-day extension sought, further
extension may be sought," Mr. Shaked states.

The Debtor is owner of a 6-story medical office building.  On the
Filing Date, it has 3 tenants and no Certificate of Occupancy.  It
seeks to emerge from Chapter 11 protection with the ability to
rent all units.  According to Mr. Shaked, the Debtor's location
near Lenox Hill Hospital makes the location very desirable.

The Debtor believes that all documents are now with the City
Department of Buildings and but for beaurocratic backlog, the C of
O would have already been issued.  Mr. Shaked says that this is
critical because some of the leases signed by existing tenants are
conditioned upon the issuance of a C of O, and that renting
additional units is more challenging if there is no C of O.

The Debtor and one of its tenants, Amplitude Vibration Studio,
LLC, have resolved their differences regarding past due rent and
Amplitude has begun making regular rental payments in the amount
of $17,500 per month on March 1, 2012.  Amplitude has turned over
to the Debtor $52,500 in back rent.  The Debtor recently signed a
lease with a new tenant, Esquared Mgt., Inc., paying an additional
$4,500 per month.  The Debtor is having discussions with its other
2 tenants and expects them to commence paying rent shortly.

Now that the Debtor is receiving rental income, it is negotiating
a Cash Collateral Stipulation with MB Financial and hopes to have
it ready shortly.

                           About 261 East

261 East 78 Realty Corp. owns real property located at 261 East
78th Street, in New York.  The premises consist of seven
commercial units, three of which are currently occupied.  261 East
78 Realty filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case
No. 11-15624) on Dec. 6, 2011.  Judge Robert E. Gerber presides
over the case.  The Chapter 11 filing was precipitated by the
commencement of foreclosure proceedings on the premises.  The
Debtor scheduled $20,211,417 in assets and $18,757,664 in
liabilities.  The petition was signed by Lee Moncho, president.


94TH AND SHEA: JPMCC Wins Lift Stay Over Debtor's Objections
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Sarah Sharer Curley of the U.S. Bankruptcy for the District
of Arizona has approved the motion of JPMCC 2007-CIBC19 Shea
Boulevard, LLC for relief from the automatic stay in the Chapter
11 cases of 94th and Shea LLC, overruling the Debtor's objection.

Judge Curley orders that the automatic stay is terminated and
modified effective immediately, and JPMCC is authorized to
exercise any and/or all of its rights or remedies under the
parties' loan documents.

In opposing the motion, the Debtor said no justification has been
given by JPMCC as to why this mandatory stay should be
disregarded.

In May 2011, the Debtor won Court approval of the disclosure
statement explaining its plan of reorganization.  The Disclosure
Statement, as amended, said the Plan will be funded by operations
of the Debtor's real property and a capital infusion in the amount
of the new value by the interest holders or a successful bidder,
if an auction is held.  As a showing of good faith and commitment
to the Plan, the interest holders will place $100,000 in escrow in
the trust account of the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel on or before
the auction.  These funds will become a part of the estate and
will fund the new value contribution obligations, only in the
event that the interest holders is the successful bidder for the
equity interests in the Reorganized Debtor.  Additionally, the
funds will only be available to, and become a part of, the estate
if a confirmation order confirming this Plan is entered and
becomes a final order.

The Debtor had proposed to pay in full all allowed secured claims,
including the $21 millio claim of JPMCC 2007-CIBC19 Shea Boulevard
LLC.  Holders of unsecured claims totaling $1,855,116 will (i)
share, pro rata, in a distribution of $150,000 in cash paid by the
Reorganized Debtor, from the new value contribution, on the 90th
day following the Effective Date of the Plan, (ii) each receive
its pro rata portion of a $500,000 subordinated debenture payable
to holders of allowed unsecured claims.

A full-text copy of the Disclosure Statement is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/94thandShea_RedlinedDS.pdf

Late last year, JPMCC and the Debtor agreed, for purposes of the
Debtor's plan and the lender's bid for stay relief, that the value
of the Debtor's real property known as The Shops and Office at
9400 Shea and the adjacent parcel of land is $11.7 million.

In November, JPMCC asked the Court to dismiss or convert the
Chapter 11 case to one under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code,
saying the Debtor and its principals, Steven J. Goodhue and John
W. Rosso, have engaged in multiple and extensive acts of self-
dealing and gross mismanagement resulting in substantial
diminution of estate assets.  Among other things, Goodhue and
Rosso have failed to enforce the terms of certain leases with two
tenants owned and controlled by Debtor's insiders, namely 94
Hundred Corporate Center, L.L.C. and Renegade Cafe and Canteen,
L.L.C.  The Debtor also had been non-responsiveness to discovery
requests, and failed to attend properly noticed depositions.

ACCO BRANDS: Moody's Rates $500-Mil. Senior Unsecured Notes 'B1'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to ACCO Brands
Corporation's $500 million of proposed senior unsecured notes.
ACCO's B2 Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default
Rating remain on review for upgrade. Moody's expects to upgrade
the Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default Rating to
Ba3 from B2 if the acquisition of the office product segment of
MeadWestvaco ("Mead C&OP', Ba1 CFR) closes under its current
terms. The B1 rating assigned to ACCO's $500 million proposed
senior unsecured notes reflects the expected post-acquisition Ba3
Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default Rating.

Moody's also upgraded the rating on the proposed $1,020 million
senior secured credit facility to Ba1 from Ba2. The upgrade
reflects greater than expected junior ranking obligations in the
post-acquisition capital structure which provides loss absorption
to the senior secured creditors in a default scenario. The rating
on the existing senior subordinated notes remains under review,
but those notes are expected to be repaid in full at closing and
Moody's expects to withdraw the rating at that time. The existing
senior secured notes also remain under review and are expected to
be withdrawn if the majority of holders accept a tender offer that
was announced on April 16, 2012. The speculative grade liquidity
rating was affirmed at SGL-2.

"The contemplated two notch upgrade of the Corporate Family Rating
to Ba3 reflects a material improvement in credit metrics pro forma
for the transaction, a significant increase in the scale of the
combined company and increased exposure to faster growing emerging
markets in Latin America," said Kevin Cassidy, Senior Credit
Officer at Moody's Investors Service. "In addition, the
acquisition will broaden ACCO's distribution to more mass
retailers and away from the traditional Office Super Stores," he
said.

Upon completion of the transaction, MeadWestvaco shareholders will
own 50.5% of the combined company. MeadWestvaco's Consumer &
Office Products business is a manufacturer and marketer of school
supplies, office products, and planning and organizing tools --
including the Mead(R), Five Star(R), Trapper Keeper(R), AT-A-
GLANCE(R), Cambridge(R), Day Runner(R), Hilroy, Tilibra and
Grafons brands in the United States, Canada and Brazil. With the
addition of this business, ACCO Brands increases its scale and
strengthens its position in school and office products.

For tax purposes, the transaction is structured as a "Reverse
Morris Trust" transaction and will will be funded with a
combination of $940 million of debt, approximately $544 million of
equity based on the current stock price and approximately $56
million of cash. $190 million of the secured debt will initially
be issued to a special purpose entity, which debt will then be
guaranteed by ACCO at close. Under the terms of the merger
agreement, MeadWestvaco will establish a separate entity to hold
the Consumer & Office Products business, the shares of which will
be distributed to MeadWestvaco shareholders in a tax-free
transaction in return for a $460 million dividend to MeadWestvaco
from the new entity. Immediately after the spin-off and
distribution, the newly formed company will merge with a
subsidiary of ACCO Brands. The acquisition is subject to ACCO
shareholder approval at a meeting scheduled for April 23, 2012.

Rating assigned:

$500 million Senior Unsecured Notes at B1 (LGD 5, 80%);

Ratings upgraded/LGD assessments revised:

$320 million Term Loan A to Ba1 (LGD2, 26%) from Ba2 (LGD2, 27%);

$450 million Term Loan B to Ba1 (LGD2, 26%) from Ba2 (LGD2, 27%);

$250 million Revolver to Ba1 (LGD2, 26%) from Ba2 (LGD2, 27%);

Ratings remaining under review:

Corporate Family Rating at B2;

Probability of Default Rating at B2;

Senior subordinated notes rating at Caa1;

Senior secured notes rating at B1;

Rating affirmed:

Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL-2

RATING RATIONALE

ACCO's expected Ba3 Corporate Family Rating post-acquisition
reflects its size at over $2 billion for the combined company,
moderate Debt/Ebitda of less than 4 times proforma for the
acquisition, good product and geographic diversification, and the
expectation for steady financial performance. The rating also
considers ACCO's increased exposure to the faster growing emerging
markets of Latin America at 12% of pro forma sales. The rating
incorporates the mature nature of the office and school supplies
industry. ACCO serves a consumable segment about half of which is
tied to discretionary consumer spending and a durable exposure,
which is driven more by business spending but is more vulnerable
to cyclicality. Mitigating these factors is ACCO's solid market
position within the office supply product categories, improved
margins through a realignment of its cost structure, good free
cash flow generation, commitment to pay down debt and good
liquidity profile that provides financial flexibility to continue
to weather the uncertain economic environment. Moody's also
considers the relevance of ACCO to its largest customers as one of
only a few global suppliers of office products.

The CFR is expected to be upgraded to Ba3 if the transaction
closes consistent with the proposed terms.The ratings are unlikely
to be downgraded in the near term even if the acquisition of Mead
C&OP does not close under its current terms.The B2 CFR could be
downgraded if the transaction fails to close and earnings and cash
flow materially deteriorate from current levels such that EBITA
margins fall to the single digits or lower and financial leverage
(debt/EBITDA) is sustained above 6 times .

The principal methodology used in rating ACCO was Moody's Global
Consumer Durables 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.

ACCO Brands Corporation is a leading supplier of branded office
products, which are marketed in over 100 countries to retailers,
wholesalers, and commercial end-users. Revenue for ACCO
approximated $1.3 billion for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The office product segment of MeadWestvaco, located in Dayton,
Ohio, is a leading provider of school, office, and time-management
products in North America and Brazil. It manufactures brands such
as At-A-Glance, Day Runner, Five-Star, Mead, and Hilroy. Sales for
the year ending December 31, 2011 approximated $740 million.

AFA INVESTMENT: Wants Imperial Capital as Investment Bankers
------------------------------------------------------------
AFA Investment Inc., et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware for permission to employ Imperial Capital,
LLC as investment bankers.

Imperial will, among other things:

  (a) provide the Debtors with an analysis of their business,
operations, properties, financial condition, competition,
industry, forecast, prospects and management;

  (b) assist the Debtors in preparing Transaction Offering
Materials with respect to any Transaction; and

  (c) identify and contact selected qualified buyers for the
Transaction and furnishing them, on behalf of the Debtors, with
copies of the Transaction Offering Materials.

Marc A. Bilbao, a managing director of Imperial, tells the Court
that the Debtors agreed to pay Imperial's fee structure:

   (i) a monthly advisory fee of $100,000; and

  (ii) a deferred fee payable as provided that under no
circumstances will Imperial be entitled to payment of more than
one deferred fee:

       (x) $250,000 if the assets of the Debtors' estates are (A)
liquidated under a Chapter 11 Plan, (B) sold to any of the
Debtors' prepetition secured lenders pursuant to a credit
bid submitted by the lenders, if no third party submits an
executed offer or offers with no material contingencies providing
for aggregate consideration equal to or exceeding $40,000,000 or
(C) otherwise sold for less than $40,000,000 in aggregate
consideration; or

       (y) if the aggregate Transaction Consideration for the
assets of the Debtors' estates equals or exceeds $40,000,000, then
Imperial will be entitled to either (A) the greater of $1,000,000
or 2% of the aggregate consideration for the transaction in the
context of a single transaction or (B) the greater of $500,000 or
2% of the aggregate Transaction Consideration for each transaction
where the Transaction Consideration is at least $10,000,000, up to
a maximum of $1,500,000 in total for all such multiple
transactions.

For the avoidance of doubt, only a single deferred fee may be
earned by Imperial under subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above.
Imperial will credit aggregate Monthly Advisory Fees in excess of
$200,000 against the amount of any Deferred Fee earned; provided,
however, that no more than $300,000 in monthly advisory fees will
be credited against the amount of any deferred fee.

In addition, the Debtors agree to reimburse Imperial for its
customary and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
matters.

Prepetition, Imperial received one payment from the Debtors in the
amount of $54,032.  Of the Prepetition Payment, $35,484 was
applied in satisfaction of the pro-rated monthly advisory fee for
the month of March, and the balance of $18,548 was taken as a
deposit against out-of-pocket expenses.  As of the Petition Date,
Imperial held approximately $7,500 of the expense deposit.

Mr. Bilbao assures the Court that Imperial is a "disinterested
person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors set a hearing April 24, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. (ET) on the
employment of Imperial.

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 23, 2011, Moody's Investors Service
lowered AGY Holding Corporation's (AGY) Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) to Caa2 from B3, reflecting the decline in the company's
liquidity and weak operating performance.

In the Dec. 5, 2011, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Aiken, S.C.-based
AGY Holding Corp. (AGY) to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.

"Our rating action reflects our view that AGY's credit quality has
deteriorated due to ongoing weakness in its operating performance,
a decline in liquidity, and the potential for insufficient
liquidity to meet interest payments in 2012.  As of Sept. 30,
2011, the company reported total liquidity of $17 million
including $16.2 million of availability under its unrated
revolving credit facility. AGY reported that it expected liquidity
to decline to levels of around $12.4 million in November following
the payment of nearly $10 million in semiannual interest on its
notes.  It also expects effective availability to be lower than
the reported figures, because the company is also subject to a
fixed-charge coverage ratio covenant if availability under its
revolving credit facility declines to below $6.25 million. We do
not expect to be in compliance if the covenant becomes applicable.
Current liquidity levels have declined from our expectations of a
minimum liquidity of $20 million at the previous rating. Key
credit risks, in our view, are liquidity insufficient to meet
requirements (including approximately $20 million in future
interest payments in 2012). An additional risk is potential
liquidity requirements possibly arising from the put option
available with the seller of AGY Hong Kong Ltd. for the remaining
30% of the company not yet purchased by AGY.  The put option can
be exercised through Dec. 31, 2013.  AGY reports a fair value of
about $0.23 million for the remaining 30% of the AGY Hong Kong
Ltd. as of Sept. 30, 2011 -- a decline from an initial estimated
value of about $12 million in 2009. AGY Hong Kong also has about
$10.5 million of debt, which the company reports it is trying to
extend, and approximately $11.5 million in annually renewable
working capital facilities due in 2012 (debt at AGY Hong Kong is
nonrecourse to AGY)," S&P said.

ALEXANDER SRP: Fights Back Lender's Motion for Case Dismissal
-------------------------------------------------------------
LSREF2 Baron, LLC, a secured creditor and party-in-interest in the
Alexander SRP Apartments, LLC bankruptcy case, filed an objection
to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral, and sought the
dismissal of the Debtor's bankruptcy case or, alternatively,
relief from the automatic stay, claiming that the bankruptcy case
constitutes a bad faith bankruptcy filing.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 13, 2012,
the Debtor sought court approval to use cash collateral for
working capital and other general corporate purposes during the
pendency of the Chapter 11 case.  As adequate protection to the
Lender to the extent of any diminution in value of the Lender's
prepetition collateral, the Debtor proposed to provide a
replacement lien in postpetition rents and other income from the
232-unit multifamily apartment complex located in Brunswick, Glynn
County, Georgia, in the same order of priority as existed
prepetition for the Lender.

The Debtor urges the Court to deny the request for dismissal
because the case was filed in a good faith exercise of the
protections provided by the Bankruptcy Code and that no cause
exists for relief from the automatic stay.

J. Robert Williamson, Esq., at Scroggins & Williamson, P.C., the
counsel for the Debtor, says that there is a substantial equity
cushion in the Debtor's property and that, combined with positive
net income from operations, is sufficient to adequately protect
the Lender's interests.  The Debtor intends to comply with the
requirements for filing a plan and paying interest to the Lender
on or before 90 days after the filing of the case.

The Debtor's schedules show that it has approximately $120,000 of
non-insider unsecured claims.  "While this is relatively small in
comparison to the Lender's secured claim, it is not an
insignificant amount of debt.  The relatively small amount of
unsecured debt in this case is evidence more of the adequate cash
flow and good management of this Debtor than of bad faith," Mr.
Williamson states.

Mr. Williamson says that the Debtor's property was subject to a
foreclosure action and this case was filed on the eve of a
scheduled foreclosure, but an examination of the context shows
that the foreclosure was not a result of arrearages on the debt
but rather the maturity of the construction loan and expiration of
a forbearance agreement entered into between the Debtor and the
original lender.  According to Mr. Williamson, the Debtor offered
to continue to pay the interest payments provided for in the
original note for another forbearance period, but the Lender
didn't give the Debtor additional time to find permanent
financing, preferring instead to attempt to reap a windfall by
foreclosing on the Property.

The Lender was not a party to the original forbearance agreement
between Regions Bank and the Debtor in which the Debtor agreed to
the waiver, based in large part on assurances by Regions that more
forbearance would likely be available should the initial one year
period be insufficient.  Mr. Williamson claims that before
purchasing the loan, the Lender would have had full knowledge that
the maturity had been extended under the Forbearance Agreement,
that the Debtor was likely to need more time to refinance, and
that the Debtor and Regions had discussed a further extension of
the Forbearance Period.  The Lender filed its motions within a
week of the filing of the Debtor's case and has not attempted to
argue that the Debtor has no equity in the Property.

The Debtor denies the Lender's claim that cash collateral budget
shows that the Debtor does not have funds available to make debt
service payments.  "The Debtor's original cash collateral budget
showed rental income of approximately $168,000 per month and cash
flow before debt service of approximately $80,000 per month.
Because the Property has a significant equity cushion, the
Debtor proposed to use the monthly net income to pay for
approximately 13 balcony repairs per month, offering Lone Star
adequate protection for the use of its cash collateral in the form
of a lien on the Debtor's claims against others resulting from the
construction defects.  The Debtor believes that accelerating the
repairs to the Property will further improve cash flow and the
Debtor's prospects for obtaining permanent financing," Mr.
Williamson says.  The Debtor assures the Court that the Lender's
collateral won't be diminished and will be improved in value.

-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois

consider ALT Hotel, LLC's request for continued access to the cash
collateral.

relating to the hotel's room revenues, meeting space revenues,
food and beverage revenues and other operating department
revenues, rentals and other income and monies received or held in
impound or trust accounts, to operate its business operations.

As adequate protection to the diminution in the value of the
lender's collateral, the Debtor will grant the senior lender,
among other things: (i) replacement liens with the same validity
and priority on all rents and all other property of the estate of
the same kind and nature on which the senior lender had a duly
perfected and valid lien and security interest on a prepetition
basis; (ii) make payments to the senior lender equal to interest
on the outstanding senior debt at the default rate set forth in
the senior loan agreement; (iii) continue to maintain adequate
insurance on all property on which the senior lender holds a duly
perfected and valid lien and security interest on a prepetition
basis.

AMERICAN WEST: Gets Final OK to Incur $10MM Loan from WH Ventures
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Lloyd King of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Nevada, in a final order, authorized American West Development,
Inc., to obtain postpetition financing of up to $10,000,000 from
AWH Ventures, Inc., on a non-priming secured and superpriority
basis pursuant to a Debtor-In-Possession Revolving Credit
Agreement.

The proceeds of the postpetition financing will be used to fund
the costs of administering Debtor's estate, including, without
limitation, (i) funding the operations of Debtor's business and
properties, (ii) making adequate protection payments to the
Prepetition Lenders, (iii) paying expenses incurred for the
administration of the Chapter 11 Case, including paying reasonable
compensation of professional fees and expenses, (iv) paying any
contractual obligations, and (v) repaying Revolving Loans.

The Debtor explained that its access to sufficient liquidity
through the incurrence of the Postpetition Financing is vital to
the preservation and maintenance of the going concern value of
Debtor's estate and to Debtor's successful reorganization.  The
use of cash collateral alone would be insufficient to meet
Debtor's postpetition liquidity needs.  The Debtor is unable to
obtain adequate unsecured credit allowable under Bankruptcy Code
sections 364(b) and 503(b)(1).

As security for the full and timely payment of the obligations,
the lender is granted, subject to carve out on certain expenses:

   i) a valid and duly perfected first priority Lien on Avoidance
Actions, and any other previously unencumbered assets of Debtor;

  ii) a valid and duly perfected junior Lien on the Prepetition
Lenders' Collateral and any other assets of Debtor that are
subject to a valid and perfected lien as of the Petition Date; and

iii) a superpriority administrative expense claim status.

AMERICAN WEST: Has Final Approval to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Lloyd King of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Nevada, in a final order, authorized American West Development,
Inc., to use prepetition lenders' cash collateral.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 23, 2012,
the Debtor is a borrower pursuant to a December 2009 term loan
credit agreement among California Bank & Trust (as administrative
agent and lead arranger), the lenders party thereto, and certain
guarantors.

In August 2007, the Debtor, along with Lawrence D. Canarelli and
Heidi Canarelli, entered into a credit agreement with the
Administrative Agent and the Prepetition Lenders.  The maturity
date under that Original Credit Agreement occurred on Oct. 6,
2009, and certain other events of default were asserted by the
Prepetition Lenders and acknowledged by the Borrowers.  A
forbearance agreement was entered into by the parties on Oct. 7,
2009, pursuant to which, among other provisions, the Prepetition
Lenders agreed not to enforce their rights and remedies under the
Original Credit Agreement for a period of time.  On Dec. 31, 2009,
the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Prepetition
Lenders amended, restated and replaced the Original Credit
Agreement with the Credit Agreement to refinance the amounts
outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement, extend the time
for repayment of the amounts and otherwise amend certain
provisions.  The total outstanding principal debt under the Credit
Agreement was approximately $177,506,450.25 as of the Petition
Date, along with interest, fees and charges accrued and accruing
thereon and chargeable with respect thereto.  The borrowings under
the Credit Agreement had an initial maturity date of Oct. 6, 2011,
with the potential for two additional one year extensions at the
Borrowers' option.  The Borrowers exercised their option for the
first one year extension through Oct. 6, 2012.

As security for borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the
Borrowers granted the Prepetition Lenders, among other liens, a
security interest in all of their personal property.  The portions
of the collateral that are owned by Debtor primarily consists of
utility, bond and similar security deposits, general intangibles,
furniture, fixtures and equipment, contract rights and the right
of Debtor to receive deferred payments due from certain affiliates
of Debtor, representing amounts due for lot development, unit
construction and other services for which Debtor has acted as
general contractor pursuant to agreements memorialized as
(i) various Marketing and Administrative Services Agreements
between Debtor and certain affiliated home-selling entities, and
(ii) various Design-Build Agreements between Debtor, certain
affiliated land-owning entities, and certain affiliated home-
selling entities.  As of Nov. 30, 2011, the book value of the
Receivable was $78,177,097.

The Debtor told the Bankruptcy Court that its ability to use cash
collateral is critical to Debtor's ability to continue as a going
concern during the course of this Chapter 11 case.  The Debtor
will use cash collateral to fund the costs of administering
Debtor's estate, including, without limitation, (i) funding the
operations of Debtor's business, (ii) making adequate protection
payments to the Prepetition Lenders, (iii) paying expenses
incurred for the administration of the Chapter 11 case, including
compensation of professional fees and expenses, (iv) paying
contractual obligations consistent with the final court order, and
(v) repaying borrowings under any debtor-in-possession financing.
Without the ability to use cash collateral, Debtor and its estate
would suffer immediate and irreparable harm.

On March 1, 2012, the Debtor entered with the Administrative Agent
and the Prepetition Lenders into a cash collateral agreement.  A
copy of the cash collateral agreement, along with the budget, is
available for free at:

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

The Debtor projected that it will need to use more than
$10,800,000 of cash collateral (exclusive of its existing cash as
of the Petition Date and any debtor-in-possession financing
borrowings) during the first 13 weeks following the Petition Date
in order to meet its operating expenses and make interest-only
adequate protection payments to the Prepetition Lenders.  The
Initial Cash Budget is based on Debtor's internally prepared
projections of home sales and development expenses -- if actual
home sales and development expenses do not match projections, then
Debtor's need to use cash collateral and borrow under the DIP
Financing may differ from the amounts set forth in the Initial
Cash Budget.  In addition, Debtor estimates that it will incur
approximately $1,521,000 in expenses associated with the Chapter
11 case during this same period.  With this necessity in mind,
Debtor negotiated the Cash Collateral Agreement with the
Prepetition Lenders.

As adequate protection, the Prepetition Lenders will receive:

           (a) monthly, on or before the first day of each month
               and continuing during the pendency of the Chapter
               11 case, adequate protection payments made by the
               Debtor to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
               of the Prepetition Lenders in an amount equal to
               the highest non-default rate of interest applicable
               from time to time to amounts outstanding under the
               Credit Agreement multiplied by $49,635,000, and the
               automatic stay will be vacated and modified to the
               extent necessary to permit Debtor to make Adequate
               Protection Payments and the Prepetition Lenders to
               apply them against the Prepetition Lenders' Claims;

           (b) replacement liens to secure the amount of any Value
               Diminution, which Replacement Liens will: (i) be
               subject and junior only to the carve-out, liens to
               secure the debtor-in-possession Financing and any
               prior liens, (ii) attach to: (x) the Debtor
               Collateral and any proceeds thereof, and (y) causes
               of action under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code
               and the proceeds thereof, and any other assets of
               Debtor, and (iii) be in addition to the Prepetition
               Lenders' Claims and liens;

           (c) a superpriority claim against Debtor's estate,
               subject and junior only to the Carve-Out and any
               superpriority claim and lien of the DIP Financing
               lender.

The Prepetition Lenders will consent to and not oppose the
Debtor's request for approval of DIP Financing to be provided by
AWH Ventures, Inc., consisting of a revolving credit facility in
an amount not to exceed $10 million, and secured by (i) a first
priority lien on the avoidance actions and any other previously
unencumbered assets of Debtor, and (ii) a junior lien on the
collateral and any other assets of Debtor that are subject to a
valid and perfected lien as of the Petition Date; provided,
however, that the DIP Financing will be subject to a subordination
and inter-creditor agreement agreed upon by the Prepetition
Lenders and the DIP Lender.

The Prepetition Lenders have agreed to a carve-out for (i) all
fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and
to the Office of the U.S. Trustee, and (ii) only to the extent
amounts are not available under the Cash Budget, an amount not
exceeding $3 million in the aggregate, which amount may be used
after the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of
default, to pay the fees and expenses of professionals retained by
Debtor and any Committee of Unsecured Creditors that are allowed
by the Court.

Upon written notice from Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Prepetition Lenders, the events of default include, among
other things, the (i) appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee with
respect to the Chapter 11 case; (ii) appointment of an examiner
with expanded powers with respect to the Chapter 11 Case;
(iii) approval of a motion granting a party (other than the DIP
financing lender) any lien, superpriority claim, or other
administrative expense claim which is senior to or pari passu with
the Prepetition Lenders' Superpriority Claim; (vii) reversal,
vacatur or stay of the effectiveness of the interim court order;
(viii) the interim court order being amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the
Prepetition Lenders; and (ix) any use of cash collateral to make a
payment that is not in compliance with the Cash Collateral
Agreement.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Lloyd King of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Nevada appointed James L. Moore as future claims representative
in the Chapter 11 case of American West Development, Inc.

The future claims representative will, among other things:

   -- represent the interests of all future construction defect
claimants as related to all future construction defect claims that
may be asserted against the Debtor, whether those claims are now
known or as of yet unknown by claimants, as the Court finds that

in the case;

   -- investigate and evaluate the number and extent of potential
claims that could be asserted against Debtor by the class of
individuals that comprises the future construction defect
claimants;

   -- employ experts or other professional persons as may be
required in order to best determine the figures; and

   -- file proofs of claim on behalf of the future construction
defect claimants prior to the claims bar date, to be determined by
the Court.

The Court ordered that the future claims representative will file
a statement containing disclosures consistent with those required
by Rule 2014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.  Any
interested party will file any objections based on the disclosure
by April 25, 2012; (iii) reply to the objections will be filed by
April 30, and a hearing will be held on May 7, at 10:00 a.m.
If no objection is filed timely, then the appointment of the
future claims representative pursuant and nunc pro tunc to the
date of entry of the order will be final without the need for
further hearing or order of the Court.

The Hon. Lloyd King of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Nevada authorized American West Development, Inc., to employ
the Law Office of Nathan A. Schultz, P.C. as conflicts counsel.

AMES DEPARTMENT: Wants Plan Exclusivity Extended Until Oct. 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reports that Ames Department Stores filed with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion to extend the exclusive period
during which the Debtors can solicit acceptances for their Chapter
11 plan through and including October 31, 2012.

BankruptcyData.com relates that the Company explains that they're
seeking the extension, "because all parties require time to ensure
that the estates will be administratively solvent and therefore
warrant solicitation of votes in favor of the Plan."

The Court scheduled an April 27, 2012 hearing to consider the
motion.

                     About Ames Department Stores

in 1958.  At its peak, Ames operated 700 stores in 20 states,
including the Northeast, Upper South, Midwest and the District of

retailer closed 370 stores and emerged from chapter 11 on Dec. 30,
1992.

Ames filed a second bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 01-42217) on Aug. 20, 2001.  Togut, Segal

AMSCAN HOLDINGS: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Elmsford, N.Y.-based Amscan Holdings Inc. to 'B+' from
'B'. The rating outlook is stable. "At the same time, we raised
the issue-level ratings on Amscan's senior unsecured $675 million
term loan due 2017 to 'B+' from 'B', and its 8.75% senior
subordinated notes due 2014 to 'B-' from 'CCC+'. Approximately
$1.3 billion of total adjusted debt was outstanding as of Dec. 31,
2011," S&P said.

"The upgrade reflects our belief that Amscan's credit measures
have improved and will remain indicative of those for an
'aggressive' financial risk profile. 'We anticipate that credit
measures will improve modestly through fiscal year-end 2012,
through acquisition-related synergies and EBITDA expansion during
the next year," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephanie
Harter.

"We view Amscan's business risk profile as 'weak.' Key credit
factors considered in our assessment of Amscan's business profile
include its narrow business focus, participation in the highly
competitive and fragmented party goods industry, and exposure to
higher raw material costs. However, the company benefits from a
strong presence in the niche party goods industry and the somewhat
recession-resistant characteristics of its products. We believe
additional store openings and its entry into the Canadian market
will contribute additional EBITDA and improve credit metrics over
the next 12 months," said Ms. Harter.

Amscan designs, manufactures, and distributes party goods, also
operating its mostly company-owned Party City, Halloween City, and
Party Packagers retail businesses in the U.S. and Canada.

"The outlook is stable. We could raise our ratings if the company
reduces leverage and sustains a ratio of debt to EBITDA below 4x,
which would result in part from reducing ABL borrowings. However,
we could lower the ratings if operating performance weakens
materially, possibly if lower consumer spending and rising
production costs result in deteriorating credit protection
measures, including leverage rising to over 5x; or possibly as a
result of a more aggressive financial policy. We estimate the
company's leverage could exceed 5x if current debt levels remained
constant and EBITDA were to decline more than 10% from EBITDA for
the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2011," S&P said.


AVENTINE RENEWABLE: Settles $48MM Adversary Suit vs. Green Plains
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lance Duroni at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Aventine Renewable
Energy Resources won a Delaware bankruptcy court's blessing Monday
to settle an adversary suit seeking to recover as much as
$48 million from supplier Green Plains Renewable Energy Inc.

In return for dropping the suit, Green Plains agreed to pay
Aventine nearly $3 million and purchase 20 million gallons of
ethanol from the company over a four-month period beginning in
May, according to court documents obtained by Law360.

                      About Aventine Renewable

Pekin, Illinois-based Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc.
(OTC BB: AVRW) -- http://www.aventinerei.com/-- markets and
distributes ethanol to many of the leading energy companies in the
U.S.  In addition to producing ethanol, its facilities also
produce several by-products, such as distillers grain, corn gluten
meal and feed, corn germ and grain distillers dried yeast, which
generate revenue and allow the Company to help offset a
significant portion of its corn costs.

The Company and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries
filed for Chapter 11 on April 7, 2009 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 09-11214).  The Debtors filed their First Amended Joint Plan
of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on
Jan. 13, 201.  The Plan was confirmed by order entered by the
Bankruptcy Court on Feb. 24, 2010, and became effective on
March 15, 2010.

                           *     *     *

Aventine carries 'CCC+' issuer credit ratings, with negative
outlook, from Standard & Poor's.  Aventine carries a 'Caa1'
probability of default rating, with stable outlook, from Moody's.

In December 2011, when S&P issued the downgrade, it said, "The
downgrade reflects problems the company has encountered in
attempting to start its new facilities, and the risk of additional
delays and cost overruns.  It also reflects the commodity basis
differentials its operating plants have experienced in 2011 that
have compressed margins, especially in the second quarter of 2011
when index-based crush spreads were weak. Although performance
has improved slightly since then, we believe liquidity may come
under stress and that covenant violations are possible in 2012
unless operations and realized margins improve."


BEACON POWER: Is Administratively Insolvent, Wants Case Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Beacon Power Corp. and its affiliates ask the Bankruptcy Court to
approve procedures for distribution of funds; and dismiss their
Chapter 11 cases.

Jeremy W. Ryan, Esq., at Potter Anderson Corroon LLP, informs the
Court that after payment of all secured claims and the U.S.
Department of Energy's adequate protection lien, the Debtors have
roughly $2.2 million in unencumbered assets consisting of $1.85
million in cash and potentially $350,000 in receivables.  After
review by both the Debtors and the Committee, other than the
receivables, the Debtors do not believe there are any other viable
sources of recovery for these estates including avoidance actions.

From the inception of the Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors
drastically reduced their cost structure and scrupulously
monitored and managed their postpetition payables with extensive
input and oversight by the DOE.  As a result of that intensive
process, the Debtors have a high degree of confidence in their
estimates of their postpetition payables, including trade and
employee claims.  In addition, the Debtors are one month removed
from the initial close on the sale to Rockland Capital, meaning
that the Debtors have received virtually all, if not all,
postpetition invoices.

The Debtors estimate there is only $100,000 in nonprofessional
postpetition administrative claims.  Professional Fee Claims could
reach $6.75 million and lodestar fees alone are nearly $4 million.

Mr. Ryan submits that there is simply not enough cash left to
satisfy the administrative and professional fee claims let alone
claims lower in priority or general unsecured claims.  The
Debtors' administrative insolvency renders it impossible to
confirm a plan.  The only options are dismissal of the Chapter 11
cases or conversion to Chapter 7.

Mr. Ryan believes that conversion of these cases to Chapter 7
would not benefit any creditor or other parties.  The unencumbered
assets would be consumed to pay Chapter 7 administrative expenses.
All a Chapter 7 conversion would do is further diminish funds
available to administrative and professional fee claims.  As a
result, the Debtors believe that a better solution is to dismiss
the Chapter 11 cases while respecting the priority scheme in the
distribution of the remaining unencumbered funds in the estate.

In addition, the Debtors propose that any remaining wage claims
entitled to priority under Section 507(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy
Code also be satisfied in full before payment of Professional Fee
Claims.  Those amounts are estimated to be $25,000.

In order to effectuate the dismissal, the Debtors need to
distribute the Cash in accordance with the priority of claims
under the Bankruptcy Code.  Accordingly, the Cash distribution
would be as follows:

     A. Payment of $3,824,160 to DOE on account of its pre-
        petition secured claim and its post-petition adequate
        protection lien, less $2,000,000 held back to fund any
        lodestar claims the Debtors' professional may assert
        against the Carve-Out for unpaid fees as determined by the
        Waterfall Motion;

     B. Payment of $25,000 to Edwards Wildman in satisfaction of
        its secured claim;

     C. The establishment of a $300,000 wind-down account
        established by the Manager for payment of the
        Administrative Claims, Priority Wage Claims and the
        Manager's fees and expenses in administering and winding
        down the affairs of the Debtors;

     D. The remaining funds would be held in escrow by the Manager
        for payment of the Professional Fees Claims after the
        Court has allowed such claims.

The Manager would continue to pursue collection of the Debtors'
outstanding accounts receivable.  To the extent funds are realized
from the Manager's efforts, the funds will be added to the
Professional Fee Reserve.

Mr. Ryan tells the Court that the Wind-Down Reserve is sufficient
to the pay estimated Administrative Claims and Priority Wage
Claims, plus any final amounts owed the Debtors' claims and
noticing agent for noticing the dismissal of these cases, which
are estimated to be less than $100,000 and the Manager's fees and
expenses, estimated to be less than $100,000.  With those
estimated amounts, the Debtors believe there is significant
cushion in the Wind-Down Reserve to pay in full any unknown or
unexpected Administrative Claims in the unlikely scenario that the
claims should arise.

BEACON POWER: Brown Rudnick Authorized to Withdraw as Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware has authorized Brown Rudnick LLP to withdraw
as counsel to Beacon Power Corp. effective March 8, 2012.

The Troubled Company Report on April 13, 2012, citing a report by
Lance Duroni at Bankruptcy Law360, said Brown Rudnick and others
representing Beacon Power in its bankruptcy cut a deal with the
U.S. government on a disputed $6.6 million professional fee tab,
clearing the way for the company to dismiss its Chapter 11 case.

Law360 said that at a hearing in Delaware, Beacon told Judge Carey
that the company's advisers had backed off from a portion of the
requested fees to appease the U.S. Department of Energy, the
company's sole secured creditor.

BEACON POWER: Seeks Mediator to Resolve Professional Fee Disputes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Beacon Power Corporation and its affiliates ask the Bankruptcy
Court to appoint a mediator to resolve professional fee disputes.

The Debtors believe that their professionals' fees are reasonable.
The fees and costs associated with the sale of the Debtors' assets
are completely in line with fees and costs for similar sized
transactions.  The Debtors believe that excess, if any, was a
direct result of, and in response to, the U.S. Energy Department's
difficult litigation and negotiation posture in the case.

The DOE, however, disagrees and believes the fees were excessive
and that excesses were caused by the Debtors' positions in the
case.

The Debtors request that the Court direct the Mediation to take
place as follows:

     A. Appoint another member of the Court's bench or a mediator
        from the Register of Mediators and Arbitrators maintained
        by the Court.

     B. The Mediation will be mandatory for all Mediation
        Parties.

     C. If the Mediator is a private mediator, the estate will
        pay the mediation fee and setoff one-third of the cost of
        the Mediation against (i) the Debtors' professionals
        allowed fees; (ii) the Committee's professionals allowed
        fees; and (iii) the DOE's allowed claims.

     D. All Mediation Parties must bring a representative with
        full and final authority to resolve all disputes subject
        to the Mediation.

     E. Each Mediation Party will be entitled to submit one
        confidential mediation statement that sets out the support
        for any fees requested and the basis for objection to any
        fee request.

     F. The Mediation shall be completed within 30 days of the
        entry of the order approving this Motion.  At the
        conclusion of the Mediation, the Mediator shall file a
        Certification of Completion of Mediation with the Court.

     G. Should the Mediation not resolve the Fee Dispute, the Fee
        Dispute shall be heard by the Court on the first omnibus
        hearing date scheduled in these cases after the
        Certification of Completion of Mediation has been filed.

Jeremy W. Ryan, Esq., at Potter Anderson Corroon LLP, informs that
Court that in the first several weeks of these cases the Debtors
lacked the necessary financial resources to both continue
operations and to pay professional fees on a monthly basis.  This
lack of cash forced the Debtors to consider whether to pursue an
orderly liquidation of their assets at minimal cost, or to
continue their businesses as going concern operations and engage
in a robust sale process, albeit at a higher cost, in the hope of
generating a significant premium over liquidation values.  A full
sale process would primarily benefit their major creditor, the
United States Department of Energy as the vast majority of
the value obtained would inure to its benefit, but there was also
hope that a robust sale process could generate value for general
unsecured creditors as well.

After extensive negotiations regarding the use of cash collateral
with DOE, the Debtors and DOE agreed to pursue the robust sale
process in the hopes of maximizing value.  To accommodate DOE's
concerns regarding cost and consumption of DOE's cash collateral,
the Debtors significantly reduced their operating budget,
including reducing the size of their workforce, by reducing the
amount of certain operational expenses, and convincing the
Debtors' professional firms to forego any payment of their fees
until after the consummation of a sale.  To compensate the
Debtors' professional firms for this risk, the Debtors and DOE
agreed to provide the Debtors' professional firms with both a
traditional "carve-out" and a novel "risk premium" based on the
gross proceeds that would ultimately be achieved in that sale
process.  The grievance of those compromises was that the amount
of Debtors' professional fees, and their ability to be paid, would
be commensurate with the success of the sale process measured in
the most base of economic metrics-transaction size.

According to Mr. Ryan, the Debtors had hoped that, once they
acceded to the DOE's demands for an immediate sale and a severely
reduced cash budget pending the sale, the DOE would permit the
sale process to play out with a minimal amount of further
constraint and undue stress.  Unfortunately, the DOE, under
considerable political pressure due to the great criticism of the
Administration's DOE loan program generally, determined it
necessary to attempt to impose conditions on the sale process that
the Debtors believed would discourage robust third-party interest
in the Debtors' assets and otherwise severely chill the sale
process.  The stress of those demands, and the Debtors' resistance
of the most severely chilling requests, caused the cost of this
process to be materially interested.

Mr. Ryan submits that as the Debtors and their professionals
struggled to balance the need to ensure some base level of
protections for other estate constituents and the practical need
to comply with many of the DOE's demands as a secured creditor,
they also worked hard to move these cases along at a reasonable
pace.  In the end, the Debtors acquiesced to several of the DOE's
most strenuous demands, including agreeing to conduct a sale
process involving complex intellectual property rights, grant
awards and other novel legal and business issues in a very
compressed time frame-only three months from start to finish.

Mr. Ryan states that the results of the Debtors' efforts to
achieve significant going concern values for their assets was in
considerable doubt.  It was only hours before the start of the
auction that the Debtors obtained a non-contingent stalking horse
bid.  Upon information and belief, the DOE shared the Debtors'
concerns that the sale efforts could be unsuccessful, and at one
point the Debtors, the DOE and a prospective bidder were having
serious conversations concerning the possible sale by the DOE of
all of its claims and rights in the cases for materially less than
$10,000,000.  Ultimately, and despite long odds, the Debtors and
their professionals achieved a highly successful sale, resulting
in the sale of substantially all of their assets to Rockland
Capital for an aggregate purchase price of roughly $30.5 million,
together with additional guarantees and credit enhancements
delivered to DOE of $6.6 million.

The DOE has itself acknowledged that the Debtors' sale efforts
brought about a tremendous success, noting in its press statement
that "Rockland Capital's purchase of Beacon Power and its
Stephentown subsidiary means that the Department stands to recover
more than 70% of our investment, and reaffirms that this is a
valuable project with important technology."

Mr. Ryan notes that the DOE's recent filings indicate the DOE also
has concerns regarding the amount of the fees incurred by the
Debtors' professional firms, including as to the entitlement to
the "risk premium," in achieving a result that, despite the DOE's
rather dire expectations at the outset of these cases, netted the
DOE a nearly 70% recovery on its prepetition loan.

The Debtors have acknowledged that their cases are
administratively insolvent.  The Debtors' professionals are
committed to a solution that ensures that non-professional
postpetition administrative claims are paid in full and that
professionals and DOE receive fair recoveries that take into
account the parties' prior agreements in these cases.  There are
only two issues that stand in the way of the termination of these
cases: (i) resolution of the waterfall of funds vis-a-vis the
priority of administrative claims and the application of the
carve-out, which is being addressed by a separate motion; and (ii)
resolution of the parties' disagreements over the allowable amount
of professional fees in these cases.  The Debtors believe that it
is a waste of time and resources, which these estates lack, to
litigate the fee issues before this Court, be it in chapter 11 or
chapter 7.  Instead, the Debtors seek to have the Court appoint a
mediator to resolve all professional fee issues.

According to Mr. Ryan, the history of the Debtors' cases and the
parties' relationships make one thing clear -- the parties,
especially in light of recent unsuccessful settlement efforts,
will not easily solve these issues on their own.  And the
Committee, which is seeking to get its own professionals paid and
possibly even extract some recovery for unsecured creditors,
cannot realistically play the "neutral broker" role that is
helpful to resolve many similar disputes.  The Debtors' judgment
is that there must be a truly neutral third party involved to
resolve these disputes, whether that resolution be through
litigation or mediation.

BERNARD L. MADOFF: Fairfield Funds Liquidator Files 5 New Suits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Uhlman at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that Kenneth Krys, the
trustee charged with liquidating Bernard Madoff feeder fund
Fairfield Sentry Ltd., fired off a new round of clawback suits
Friday, this time seeking nearly $130 million in five suits,
including $115 million from Atlantic Security Bank.

Besides ASB, Mr. Krys -- Sentry's foreign representative
overseeing the recovery of allegedly fraudulent transfers to
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC?s largest fund --
targets Paribas Espana, Capital Global Management Ltd., HSH
Nordbank Securities SA and Somers Nominees (Far East) Ltd.,
according to Law360.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.  On Dec. 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A.
Stanton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York granted the application of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation for a decree adjudicating that the
customers of BLMIS are in need of the protection afforded by the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.  The District Court's
Protective Order (i) appointed Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee
for the liquidation of BLMIS, (ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP
as his counsel, and (iii) removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding
to the Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789)
(Lifland, J.).  Mr. Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims
agent.

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

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

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

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

As of Feb. 17, 2012 and in the 38 months since his appointment,
the SIPA Trustee has recovered or entered into agreements to
recover more than $9 billion, representing roughly 52% of the
roughly $17.3 billion in principal estimated to have been lost in
the Ponzi scheme by BLMIS customers who filed claims.  The
recoveries exceed prior restitution efforts related to Ponzi
schemes both in terms of dollar value and percentage of stolen
funds recovered.  Pro rata distributions from the Customer Fund to
BLMIS customers whose claims have been allowed by the SIPA Trustee
totaled $325.7 million.

Mr. Picard has filed 1,000 lawsuits seeking $100 billion from
banks such as HSBC Holdings Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co.  The
trustee has seen more than $28 billion of his claims tossed by
district judges.


BUMBLE BEE: Moody's Affirms 'B2' CFR; Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed its outlook for Bumble Bee
Holdings, Inc. to negative from stable. Concurrently, Moody's has
affirmed Bumble Bee's B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and the B2
rating on the company's senior secured notes due 2017. The change
in outlook to negative reflects Moody's view that the rising cost
of fish and other commodity input costs, coupled with decreasing
consumption by price sensitive US consumers, will weigh on Bumble
Bee's operations over the next twelve to eighteen months.

The following ratings have been affirmed at Bumble Bee Holdings,
Inc.:

B2 Corporate Family Rating;

B2 Probability of Default Rating;

B2 (LGD4, 52%) on the $565 million 9% senior secured notes due
2017

The following ratings were affirmed at Bumble Bee Holdco S.C.A., a
parent company of Bumble Bee Holdings, Inc.:

Caa1 (LGD6, 93%) on the $150 million senior unsecured HoldCo PIK
toggle notes due 2018.

Ratings Rationale

The negative outlook reflects Moody's view that the high fish and
other commodity input cost environment will persist throughout
2012 and is likely to pressure industry fundamentals going
forward. In 2011, Bumble Bee demonstrated a willingness to
implement necessary price increases to maintain margins at the
expense of its volumes. However, if demand continues to weaken in
response to these and potentially additional price increases,
Bumble Bee's operating performance will likely remain under
pressure. In the context of this evolving operating environment,
Moody's views Bumble Bee's debt-to-EBITDA of 6.7x at December 31,
2011 as high for the current ratings.

The B2 corporate family rating incorporates Bumble Bee's high
financial leverage, aggressive financial policies, limited
category diversification, and the commodity-like nature of the
North American shelf stable seafood industry. The rating is
supported by Bumble Bee's top-tier position in the North American
shelf-stable seafood category and well-established brand names.
Bumble Bee's rating benefits from its historical ability to
maintain relatively stable margins in challenging operating
environments due to its ability to raise prices, its low cost
global sourcing capabilities and its focus on cost cutting
initiatives.

The ratings positively reflect Moody's view that Bumble Bee will
maintain an adequate liquidity profile over the next twelve
months. Moody's expects that the company will continue to generate
solid cash flow and use it to pay down debt over the next several
years. Bumble Bee's liquidity also benefits from its extended
maturity profile and the flexibility afforded by its covenant-lite
debt structure.

The ratings could be downgraded if Bumble Bee does not make
progress in reducing leverage toward 6.0x by 2013, or if liquidity
were to deteriorate. Conversely, the outlook could be stabilized
if Bumble Bee continues to navigate the challenging pricing
environment, increases its earnings, and repays debt, such that
leverage trends permanently below 6.0x in the twelve to eighteen
months.

The principal methodology used in rating Bumble Bee Holdings Inc.
was the Global Packaged Goods Industry Methodology published in
July 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.

Bumble Bee, headquartered in San Diego, California, is the largest
producer and marketer of shelf-stable seafood in North America and
maintains a leading share in many segments of the U.S. and
Canadian shelf-stable seafood categories, including albacore tuna,
light meat tuna, salmon, sardines, clams and other specialty
products. Its products are branded under the Bumble Bee name in
the U.S. and Clover Leaf and Brunswick names in Canada. Bumble Bee
was acquired by Lion Capital in December 2010. Revenues for the
twelve months ending December 31, 2011 were $965 million.


CHARLES STREET: Bank Questions Eligibility for Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------
OneUnited Bank has said in court papers that Charles Street
African Methodist Episcopal Church (i) did not have the right to
seek Chapter 11 protection and (ii) combines its assets with the
First District of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which
has roughly $519 million in assets.  OneUnited Bank believes the
total asset is "more than enough" to cover the $4.7 million debt
that the Charles Street AME Church owes to the bank.  The bank
also said Charles Street AME Church may not even be a debtor under
bankruptcy law because of the unique nature of the church's
financial holdings.

Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal Church --
http://www.csrrc.org/-- is located in Roxbury, Massachusetts.
The Church is to advocate for the needs of community residents and
to strengthen individuals, families, and the community by
providing social, educational, economic, and cultural services.
The Church filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Mass. Case
No. 12-12292) on March 20, 2012, to prevent its lenders, OneUnited
Bank, from foreclosing on a $1.1 million loan and auctioning off
the church.  Judge Frank J. Bailey presides over the case.
Jonathan Lackow, Esq., at Ropes & Gray LLP, represents the Debtor.
The Debtor estimated both assets and debts of between $1 million
and $10 million.


CHINA DU KANG: Incurs $696,000 Net Loss in 2011

rate of 6% per annum, on April 10, 2012 through April 16, 2012, .

The Company intends to use the proceeds to fund working capital
requirements and for general corporate purposes.  Because certain
of the directors, executive officers and greater than 10%
stockholders of the Company made the Loans, a majority of the
Company's independent directors approved the transaction.

CROATAN SURF: Has Eighth Interim Access to Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Stephani W. Humrickhouse of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of North Carolina, in an eighth interim
order, authorized Croatan Surf Club, LLC, to use cash collateral
on a limited basis.

Royal Bank America and Edwards Family Partnership LP and the
Bankruptcy Administrator consent to the Debtor's use of the cash
collateral.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 6, 2011,
Royal Bank America and Edwards Family Partnership LP assert claims
against the Debtor that are allegedly secured by accounts or other
cash collateral:

    A) Royal is owed $20,108,549 as of the Petition Date.  The
Debtor disputes this amount and believes that the amount owed to
Royal is roughly $16,350,000.

    B) Edwards is owed $3,765,291 as of the Petition Date.  The
Debtor disputes this amount and believes that the amount owed to
Edwards
is less.

As adequate protection, Royal and Edwards are granted postpetition
replacement liens and security interests in their respective post-
Petition collateral in the same relative priority, including Cash
Collateral.  If the adequate protection is insufficient, the
Secured Creditors are also granted a superpriority claim under
Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

During the term of the eighth cash collateral order, Royal will
not receive a payment of money from the Debtor as an adequate
protection payment for the Debtor's use of the cash collateral in
February 2012 and March 2012.  Nevertheless, Royal has not waived
nor relinquished its right to request and receive adequate
protection for the use of the cash collateral under Section 363(e)
of the Bankruptcy Code.  To the contrary, the parties hereto agree
that Royal has reserved the right to request in the future the
payment of adequate protection for the use of the cash collateral
during the term of this eighth cash collateral order and any other
future use of the cash collateral.

The parties will have the right to file an additional motion for
authority to use or limit the use of cash collateral and to seek
an expedited hearing thereon; provided, however, that the hearing
will not occur on less than three business days' notice to the
other parties-in-interest and the Bankruptcy Administrator.

Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$54.81 million on $198.08 million of total revenue in 2011,

Agreement or Revolving Credit Agreement and its failure to pay the
amounts that would then become due, the Revolving Credit Lender or
Term Lenders could seek to foreclose on the Company's assets.  As
a result of this, or if the Company's stockholders do not approve
the Private Placement and the Notes become due and payable, the
Company would likely need to seek protection under the provisions
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or the Company's affiliates might be
required to seek protection under the provisions of applicable
bankruptcy codes.  In that event, the Company could seek to
reorganize its business, or the Company or a trustee appointed by
the court could be required to liquidate the Company's assets.

DYNEGY POWER: Moody's Issues Summary Credit Opinion
---------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service issued a summary credit opinion on
Dynegy Power LLC and includes certain regulatory disclosures
regarding its ratings.  The release does not constitute any change
in Moody's ratings or rating rationale for Dynegy Power LLC.

Moody's current ratings on Dynegy Power LLC are:

LT Corporate Family Ratings domestic currency ratings of B2,
on review for possible downgrade

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility domestic currency ratings of
B2, on review for possible downgrade

LGD Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility domestic currency
ratings of 29 - LGD2

Probability of Default ratings of Caa1, on review for possible
downgrade

Ratings Rationale

Dynegy Power LLC's (DP) B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects
Moody's assessment of the stand-alone credit quality of this
issuer and factors Moody's expectation that DP should receive a
high percentage of gross margin and cash flow from various
contractual arrangements in place with credit worthy
counterparties over the next several years. DP owns all 6,771
megawatts (MW) of Dynegy's natural gas-fired generating plants,
which collectively represent eight plants in five markets. For the
next several years, DP's contracted cash flow will benefit from
cash flows generated at the Sithe Independence facility under the
remaining term of the PPA with ConEdison. Beginning in 2014 and
following the expiry of the PPA with ConEdison, Moody's
anticipates that a larger percentage of DP's cash flow will come
from its California based assets. That said, the B2 CFR recognizes
that additional debt may be incurred within the family as the
company's affiliates proceed with a plan of reorganization.

The Caal Probability of Default Rating assigned to Dynegy Power
reflects the increased potential default prospects for DP now that
five affiliates have filed for bankruptcy, including Dynegy
Holdings, LLC (DH), Dynegy Roseton, LLC, and Dynegy Danskammer,
LLC. While DP's creditors benefit from certain ring-fenced like
measures that should insulate DP, litigation risk persists, which
could impact the still fragile nature of the restructuring
agreement.

Rating Outlook

To that end, DP's ratings have been placed under review for
possible downgrade as creditor challenges to the proposed plan to
reorganize legacy DH debt continues, which if successful, has the
potential, in the worst case scenario, to result in DP being
pulled into a DH bankruptcy.

What Could Change the Rating - Up

In light of the review for possible downgrade, DP's ratings are
not likely to upgraded in the near-term.

What Could Change the Rating - Down

The rating review for DP will focus on the progress around DH's
restructuring efforts in bankruptcy including Moody's assessment
of the likely success of potential creditor challenge as well as
DH's ability to meet key restructuring milestones.

The methodologies used in this rating were Unregulated Utilities
and Power Companies published in August 2009, and Loss Given
Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S.,
Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.


EDGEN MURRAY: EM Pte Can Borrow Additional $10MM from JPMorgan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Edgen Murray II, L.P., and its subsidiaries, Edgen Murray
Corporation, Edgen Murray Europe Limited, Edgen Murray Canada
Inc., Edgen Murray Pte. Ltd. and the other Loan Parties, entered
into a consent and seventh amendment to the Company's senior
secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, J.P. Morgan Europe
Limited, The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and
the Lenders.

The Seventh Amendment permits EM Pte to incur $10 million of
additional indebtedness secured by a warehouse facility owned by
EM Pte in Singapore and increases the unused line fee payable to
The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, the
Singapore Administrative Agent and the Singapore Collateral Agent
under the EM revolving credit facility, from 0.50% to 0.65%.

Additionally, the Seventh Amendment permits the Company to effect
certain restructuring transactions to facilitate the proposed
initial public offering of Edgen Group Inc., to release Edgen
Murray II, L.P., from its obligations under the EM revolving
credit facility and to provide for certain other conforming and
definitional changes.  The effectiveness of these amendments is
subject to the completion of the proposed initial public offering
of Edgen Group Inc. and customary closing conditions.

There is no material relationship between the Company or any of
its affiliates and any of the parties to the Seventh Amendment,
other than in respect of the Seventh Amendment and the EM
revolving credit facility.  Certain of those parties or their
affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from
time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory,
lending or commercial banking or trustee services for the Company
and its affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the
future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of
expenses.

                        About Edgen Murray

Edgen Murray II L.P., headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is
a distributor of carbon steel and alloy products for use primarily
in specialized applications in the energy and niche industrial
segments.  The company operates on a global basis, with
approximately one-third of its sales generated outside of the
Americas, and has distribution centers in five countries to
facilitate timely deliveries to companies and contractors engaged
in the development of new energy infrastructure projects and the
maintenance of existing facilities.  In 2010, Edgen Murray had
sales of $628 million.  The company is primarily owned by
Jefferies Capital Partners, certain co-investors and members of
senior management.

The Company reported a net loss of $24.52 million in 2011, a net
loss of $98.28 million in 2010, and a net loss of $20.88 million
in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet as of Dec. 31, 2011, showed
$551.05 million in total assets, $706.11 million in total
liabilities and a $155.05 million total deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on April 11, 2011, Moody's Investors
Service lowered Edgen Murray II, L.P.'s probability of default
rating (PDR) to Caa2 from Caa1, its corporate family rating (CFR)
to Caa3 from Caa1 and the company's 12.25% senior secured notes to
Caa3 from Caa2.  The downgrade was prompted by Edgen Murray's
continuing weak performance even as many of its peers began to
benefit in 2010 from higher oil prices, a higher rig count for oil
drilling, and increased drilling in and production from
alternative shale plays.

In September 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it
lowered its corporate credit rating on Edgen Murray II L.P. to 'B-
' from 'B'.  The rating outlook is stable.

"The downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that 2010 EBITDA will
likely be around $30 million, materially lower than its previous
expectation of about $55 million, due to ongoing weakness in the
company's Western Hemisphere segment as a result of lower capital
spending on projects in the region," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Sherwin Brandford.


ELPIDA MEMORY: Bondholders Organizing, Seek Role in Sale Process
----------------------------------------------------------------
Peg Brickley at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that
Troubled Japanese chip-maker Elpida Memory Inc. faces little
opposition to its bid to shield its U.S. assets from creditors
while it is being courted by potential buyers.

                        About Elpida Memory

Elpida Memory Inc. (TYO:6665) -- http://www.elpida.com/ja/-- is

The company has eight subsidiaries and two associated companies.

Tokyo, Japan-based Elpida Memory Inc. sought  the U.S.
bankruptcy court's recognition of its reorganization proceedings
currently pending in Tokyo District Court, Eight Civil Division.

Yuko Sakamoto, as foreign representative, filed a Chapter 15
petition (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 12-10947) for Elpida on
March 19, 2012.

Elpida Memory and its subsidiary, Akita Elpida Memory, Inc., filed
for corporate reorganization proceedings in Tokyo District Court
on Feb. 27, 2012.

The Tokyo District Court immediately rendered a temporary
restraining order to restrain creditors from demanding repayment
of debt or exercising their rights with respect to the company's
assets absent prior court order.

Atsushi Toki, Attorney-at-Law, has been appointed by the Tokyo
Court as Supervisor and Examiner in the case.


EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS: Amends Put and Call Agreement with GRC
------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidiaries of Emmis Communications Corporation entered into a
First Amendment to Put and Call Agreement with a subsidiary of
Grupo Radio Centro, S.A.B. de C.V. and certain of its "Qualified
Designees".

On April 3, 2009, Emmis and GRC had entered into a seven year
Local Programming and Marketing Agreement under which GRC has
provided programming for radio station KXOS-FM (f/k/a KMVN-FM),
Los Angeles, CA.  At the same time, Emmis and GRC entered into the
Put and Call Agreement under which GRC has the right to purchase
the Station for $110 million at any time during the term of the
LMA and Emmis has the right to require GRC to purchase the Station
for the same amount at the end of the term of the LMA.

The First Amendment effectively gives the Qualified Designees the
right to purchase the Station for $85.5 million dollars provided
that the purchase closes on or before March 27, 2013.  The LMA
will remain in effect until the closing of the purchase.  If the
closing does not occur on or before March 27, 2013, the LMA will
continue to remain in effect, the call option exercised by the
Qualified Designees will terminate and the amendments to the Put
and Call set forth in the Amendment will be null and void.  Any
closing under the Amendment is subject to customary
representations, warranties, covenants and conditions, including
FCC approval for which transfer applications have been filed.

stations serving New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis,
Austin, Indianapolis, and Terre Haute, as well as national radio
networks in Slovakia and Bulgaria.  The company also publishes six
regional and two specialty magazines.

The Company reported a consolidated net loss of $11.54 million on
$251.31 million of net revenues for the year ended Feb. 28, 2011,
compared with a consolidated net loss of $118.49 million on
$242.56 million of net revenues during the prior year.

For the nine months ended Nov. 30, 2011, the Company reported net
income attributable to common shareholders of $97.72 million on
$185.08 million of net revenues, compared with a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $7.92 million on $193.24
million of net revenues for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Nov. 30, 2011, showed $365.70
million in total assets, $344.92 million in total
liabilities,$56.38 million in series A cumulative convertible
preferred stock and a $35.60 million total deficit.

                           *     *     *

In November 2010, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the 'Caa2'
Corporate Family Rating and 'Caa3' Probability of Default rating
for Emmis Communications Corporation, as well as its SGL-4
speculative grade liquidity rating.  Operating performance
improved with the economic recovery, but absent debt reduction
with proceeds from an asset sale or equity infusion Emmis will
likely breach its leverage covenant when the covenant suspension
period ends for the quarter ending November 30, 2011, in Moody's
opinion.

Emmis' CFR and PDR incorporate expectations for a covenant breach
in November 2011.  Moody's considers the Company's capital
structure unsustainable, and its operations in the cyclical
advertising business magnify this challenge.  Furthermore, Emmis
relies on two markets, Los Angeles and New York, for approximately
50% of its revenue, although its ownership of stations in top
markets including Chicago as well as NY and LA, support the
rating.

The negative outlook incorporates Moody's expectations that Emmis
will not comply with its maximum leverage covenant when effective
for the quarter ending Nov. 30, 2011.


ENERGY CONVERSION: Salamon Group Offers $2.5 Million for Unit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Garret Ellison at mlive.com reports that Salamon Group has bid
about $2.5 million to acquire United Solar Ovonic, a subsidiary of
bankrupt parent Energy Conversion Devices.  According to the
report, Salamon is offering up to 5 million shares in their
company in exchange for all shares of bankrupt flexible solar
panel maker Energy Conversion Devices.  The offer amounts to about
$2.5 million based on Salamon's 49 cents per share mid-day trading
price on April 17, 2012.

Energy Conversion was delisted from the NASDAQ stock market
following a bankruptcy filing in February.  The Company has been
looking for a buyer for their Uni-Solar subsidiary as part of the
Chapter 11 restructuring process.  An auction is set for April 24,
2012.

The report notes Salamon Group manages and acquires renewable
energy power projects through their Sunlogics Inc. subsidiary.
Sunlogics received a $7.5 million investment last year from
General Motors to develop solar-powered charging canopies for
electric vehicles like the Chevy Volt, as well as large-scale
solar arrays for building facilities.

The report adds the Uni-Solar transaction would need to be
approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE LIFE: High Court Approves Liquidation Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Randles at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that New York
Supreme Court Judge John Galasso on Monday signed off on a plan to
liquidate Executive Life Insurance Co. of New York, which is
strapped with a $1.5 billion deficit, despite the objections of
beneficiaries who claim they will lose hundreds of millions of
dollars under the plan.

Judge Galasso approved the plan proposed by state Financial
Services Superintendent Benjamin M. Lawsky that will pay out $900
million in ELNY's estate and an additional $730 million in
contributions allocated from life insurance.

Executive Life Insurance Company (ELIC) was a large issuer of life
insurance, structured settlement annuities, group annuities, and
guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) issued to pension plans and
municipalities. A conservation order was issued for ELIC on
April 11, 1991, and a liquidation order was entered on Dec. 6,
1991.  Most of the company's policies were assumed by Aurora
National Life Insurance Company in 1993.


GMX RESOURCES: Provides Operational Update for 2012
---------------------------------------------------
GMX Resources Inc. provided an operational update, production for
Q1, guidance for Q2 and year end 2012 and the Company's election
on the semi-annual interest due on its 2017 Senior Secured Notes.

                      Williston Basin Update

The Company's fourth operated well, the Lange 11-30-1H, in which
the Company has an approximate 89% working interest, located in
Sections 30&31, Township 147N, Range 99W in McKenzie County, North
Dakota, was drilled to a measured depth of 20,519? with a lateral
length of 9,348'.  The well was completed as a 32-stage frac
Middle Bakken producer achieving a peak rate of 2,549 BOE/Day
@1,500 psi flowing casing pressure.

The Company's fifth operated well, the Akovenko 24-34-1H, in which
the Company has an approximate 74% working interest, located in
Sections 3&10, Township 145N, Range 95W in McKenzie County, North
Dakota, has been successfully drilled with a measured depth of
19,927' with a lateral length of 8,305'.  The well is expected to
be fracture stimulated with a thirty-one stage sliding sleeve
completion in May 2012.

The Company's sixth operated well, the Johnston 31-4-1H, was spud
on April 5, 2012.  GMXR currently projects a 52% working interest
in the well.  The Johnston 31-4-1H is located in Sections 4&9,
Township 146N, Range 99W in McKenzie County, North Dakota.  This
well will target the Middle Bakken and will be drilled to a
measured depth of 21,300' with a lateral length of 9,300'.

The Company's workover rig arrived in North Dakota on March 23,
2012, and work has been done on the Evoniuk 21-2-1H and the Frank
31-4-1H.  The Evoniuk 21-2-1H and the Frank 31-4-1H are both
currently on pump and producing oil.  The workover rig is next
scheduled to work on the Wock 21-2-1H well.

The Company has secured the services of a new directional drilling
company and with the use of their tools has seen an improvement in
rates of penetration and a reduction in spud to TD times.  The
Company continues to evaluate operations and services within the
Bakken for opportunities to improve performance while at the same
time to reduce costs.

The Neil 24-19MBH well, 4% working interest, located in Sections
18&19, Township 148N, Range 98W in McKenzie County, North Dakota
has been successfully drilled and completed by Burlington
Resources and Initial Production tests reported 1,935 BOE/Day.

The Logan 24-8H well, in which the Company has an approximate 17%
working interest, located in Sections 5&8 Township 148N Range 98W
in McKenzie County, North Dakota was successfully drilled by
Burlington Resources.  The operator is currently on location and
preparing the well for fracture stimulation.

The Pojorlie 21-2-1H well, in which the Company has an approximate
34% working interest in Section 2&11, Township 146, Range 98W in
McKenzie County, North Dakota is being drilled by Continental
Resources.  The Operator has successfully pulled the core from the
Middle Bakken through the Three Forks and is currently drilling
the lateral.  The well is planned as a Three Forks target with a
measured depth of 21,208' and a lateral length of 9,638'.

                          Niobrara Update

GMXR's position was acquired with specific ideas in mind of basin
flexure, maturity and leveraging our execution with modern seismic
investigation.  The Company now has three data points near the
basin axis in its North Mustang Doty Hill area, the Samson
Defender and the two recent completions by Devon.  Using these
results with the seismic overprint will help guide future
development.  The Company continues to believe that success in
this play will require placing well laterals to intersect open
fractures in targeting the sub-members of the Niobrara Chalk.  The
two Devon wells will be used to calibrate models on locations that
will be drilled in areas with more intensive tectonic signatures
as well as vetting future completion design issues.

The Company is also noting emerging efforts of targeting the
Codell-Turner interval within the Niobrara system.  That interval
is more of a conventional target that while it certainly can be
impacted by natural fractures, it is a tight clastic reservoir
being characterized as less erratic than the chalky members.

Finally, the Company expects to receive its first volume of 3D
seismic from its Chugwater area of 30,817 net acres in a couple of
weeks.

                        Management Comment

Michael Rohleder, President, said: "We are progressing with our
development in McKenzie and Billings counties and the Lange result
is consistent with our expectations for this area.  GMXR and other
larger operators have drilled enough wells that our entire acreage
footprint has been substantially de-risked.  Access to services
and the cost of those services has begun to ease, which we expect
will allow us to improve our well economics.  We are going to be
able to start selling gas and liquids in North Dakota in the very
near future, which will represent an additional revenue stream.
As we bring new wells on-line, we will add tranches to the
existing oil hedge positions.  Fortunately we were able to hedge a
significant portion of our natural gas production in 2012 and 2013
at prices substantially higher than today's market.  Oil
production is expected to grow 168% sequentially this quarter.  We
will continue to focus on the execution of our transition plan,
which we expect will result in oil and NGLs accounting for
approximately 76% of our 2012 physical revenue projection."

Bakken Gas Gathering

The Company has signed a contract with a subsidiary of ONEOK
Partners, L.P., a leader in the gathering, processing, storage and
transportation of natural gas in the U.S., for many of its
McKenzie and Billings County, North Dakota wells.  The natural gas
being produced by the Company's McKenzie and Billings County
producing wells is currently being flared.  The execution of a
contract with ONEOK will enable the Company to capture the value
of the NGLs and high MMBTU content natural gas.  ONEOK's analysis
projects approximately 1,500 BTU gas and approximately 11 GPM of
NGLs.  Right-of-way acquisitions have been completed and released
for construction on the gathering lines to the Evoniuk 21-2-1H
well located in Billings County, North Dakota.  ONEOK is currently
acquiring rights of way for gathering lines to the Lange 11-30-1H
and Akovenko 24-34-1H wells in McKenzie County, North Dakota, as
well as additional locations in both McKenzie and Billings County,
North Dakota.

Updated Production and Guidance

Production for the first quarter 2012 is 596,000 BOE, which
includes 31,000 BBLs of oil and 146,000 BBLs of NGLs.  The NGL
production represents a 35% increase over previous guidance due
primarily to a change in the dispatch of our natural gas to plants
with higher NGL recoveries and plant efficiencies.  Oil production
for the first quarter 2012 represents a 43% increase over first
quarter 2011, and NGL production in the first quarter 2012
represents a 10% increase over the first quarter of 2011.

Production guidance for the second quarter 2012 is estimated to be
606,000 BOE, which includes 83,000 BBLs of oil and 148,000 of
NGLs.  Full year 2012 guidance is estimated to be 2,373,000 BOE,
which includes 354,000 BBLs of oil and 562,000 BBLs of NGLs.  Oil
and NGLs are estimated to be 39% of total 2012 production and 76%
of total 2012 revenues, excluding income from hedges, as oil and
NGL production ramps up in the Williston Basin and NGL recoveries
increase from the East Texas natural gas production.

             Bakken and East Texas Oil Realized Price

Bakken crude oil is produced and stored in tank batteries on
location until the buyer has picked up the oil by truck.  The
sales price realized is a function of the daily NYMEX contract
price less an agreed upon basis differential which varies each
month.  The Company's basis differential has varied from month to
month, ranging from a low of $5.50 in August of 2011 to as high as
$25.00 in March of 2012.  GMXR's estimated basis differential in
April is expected to be $12.00 and is estimated at $10.00 for the
remainder of 2012 year.  The historical basis differential on the
company's East Texas crude oil has been both a premium and
discount to the daily NYMEX contract but in 2011 was less than a
$2.00 discount to NYMEX.

         Recap of Oil and Natural Gas Hedge Portfolio

The Company has executed fixed price natural gas swaps against the
NYMEX for approximately 65% of the Company's post-processing dry
natural gas for April 2012 thru December 2013 period.  For the
last nine months of 2012, the Company swapped 4.03 BCF at $2.60
and for all of 2013 the Company swapped 4.24 BCF at $3.50.  In
connection with these swaps, the Company also entered into a
Basis Swap in which the Company locked in a natural gas price
differential between the NYMEX and the Houston Ship Channel at
$0.08.  The combination of these trades effectively locks in a
sales price to GMXR of $ 2.52 for 4.03 BCF during the last nine
months of 2012, and $ 3.42 for 4.24 BCF during 2013.

The Company has executed fixed price crude oil swaps against the
NYMEX for April 2012 thru December 2013.  For the last nine months
of 2012, the Company swapped 38,565 barrels at $106.40 and for all
of 2013 the Company swapped 42,581 barrels at $106.40.  For 2014,
the Company executed a costless three-way collar for 35,528
barrels with a ceiling of $114.10, a floor of $100 and a sold put
of $80.  In addition to the fixed price crude oil swaps and
costless three-way collar, the Company bought $100- $90 Put
Spreads for 19,421 barrels for the last six months of 2012, $100
Puts for 26,654 barrels in 2013, and $95?$75 Put Spreads for
19,893 barrels in 2014.

The Company's high level goal is to use swaps and costless collars
to protect the Company's flowing PDP production, and use Puts and
Put Spreads to establish floors for the Company's PUD production.
Since the forward prices for oil are less than the current prices
for oil, the Company's structure allows it to preserve the
optionality benefits of oil price increases.  As the Company
brings on new wells, the Company plans to increase our hedges to
establish floors and protect revenues.

2017 Senior Secured Notes

The Company's 2017 Senior Secured Notes have a semi-annual
interest payment due the first day of June and December.  The
Company has an option to pay the interest in cash (11.0% per
annum) or a PIK Election (9.0% per annum in cash and 4.0% per
annum payable in the form of Additional Notes.  The Company has
selected the PIK Election for the interest payment due June 1,
2012.  The record date for this interest payment is May 15, 2012.
The PIK Election will increase the outstanding principal balance
of the 2017 Senior Secured Notes by $5.1 million.

                           *     *     *

In November 2011, Moody's downgraded the rating of GMX Resources'
corporate family rating (CFR) to 'Caa3' from 'Caa1', the
Probability of Default (PDR) rating to 'Ca' from 'Caa1', and the
Speculative Grade Liquidity (SGL) rating to SGL-4 from SGL-3. The
outlook is negative.

The downgrade of GMX's PDR and note ratings reflect the company's
announcement that greater than 50% of the holders of the notes due
2019 have accepted a proposed exchange offer, which Moody's views
as a distressed exchange.  The lowering of the CFR and SGL ratings
reflects Moody's expectation of potential liquidity issues through
the first quarter of 2013, as well as elevated leverage following
the issuance of at least $100 million of proposed secured notes
under the exchange offer and a proposed $55 million volumetric
production payment (VPP), both of which the company expects to be
executed before the end of 2011.  Moody's treats VPPs as debt in
Moody's leverage calculations.  The negative outlook reflects the
potential for the CFR and note ratings to be lowered if liquidity
deteriorates further.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 21, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on GMX Resources Inc.
to 'SD' (selective default) from 'CC'.  "We also lowered the
company's issue-level ratings to 'D' from 'CC', reflecting its
completion of an exchange offer for a portion of its $200 million
11.375% senior notes due 2019," S&P said.

"The rating actions follow the company's announcement that it has
completed the exchange offer for its 11.375% senior notes due
2019," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Paul B. Harvey.  "The
exchange offer included $53 million principle of 11.375% senior
notes that accepted an exchange of $1,000 principle for $750
principle of new 11% senior secured notes due 2017.  We consider
the completion of such an exchange, at a material discount to par,
to be a distressed exchange and, as such, tantamount to a default
under our criteria."

2011.

The Company reported net income of $914,939 on $16.87 million of
sales for the nine months ended Feb. 29, 2012, compared with a net
loss of $947,894 on $14.25 million of sales for the nine months
ended Feb. 28, 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at Feb. 29, 2012, showed $12.98

HANOVER INSURANCE: Moody's Issues Summary Credit Opinion
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service issued a summary credit opinion on
Hanover Insurance Group, Inc.  The release includes certain
regulatory disclosures regarding its ratings.  It does not
constitute any change in Moody's ratings or rating rationale for
Hanover Insurance Group, Inc (The).

Moody's current ratings on Hanover Insurance Group, Inc (The) and
its affiliates are:

Senior Unsecured (domestic currency) ratings of Baa3

Junior Subordinate (domestic currency) ratings of Ba1 (hyb)

Senior Unsecured Shelf (domestic currency) ratings of (P)Baa3

Rating Rationale

Moody's A3 insurance financial strength rating on the Hanover
Insurance Co. and the Baa3 senior debt rating of its parent, The
Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., reflect the company's good
franchise bolstered by strong relationships with its network of
independent agents, solid risk-adjusted capitalization and reserve
strength, as well as its investment in automation and predictive
modeling. These positive factors are partly offset by THG's high
cost structure, catastrophe exposed lines of business, potential
integration risk related to acquisitions including the recent
acquisition of Lloyd's vehicle Chaucer, and elevated financial
leverage following the Chaucer acquisition. Moody's notes that
almost half of the company's U.S. primary insurance business (i.e.
excluding Chaucer) originates from four states -- Michigan,
Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey -- which expose the
company to catastrophe and regulatory risk. Historically, the
company wrote significant property insurance in Florida and
Louisiana -- two hurricane-prone areas -- however, the company has
meaningfully reduced its exposure in those two states and is in
the process of further diversifying its geographic footprint.

The Hanover Insurance Group is a holding company for its insurance
subsidiaries which collectively rank among the top 25 property and
casualty insurers in the United States. THG primarily operates as
The Hanover Insurance Company, except in Michigan and other
Midwest states where it does business as Citizens Insurance
Company of America. The company offers property and casualty
insurance products to individuals and business owners through a
targeted network of independent agents. THG's premium volume is
weighted towards commercial lines following the company's renewal
rights deal of OneBeacon's standard commercial business in
December 2009 and its acquisition of Chaucer Holdings, plc.
("Chaucer") in July 2011. Chaucer is a Lloyd's insurance group
which manages a number of syndicates that underwrite a diversified
book of specialist insurance and reinsurance including global
marine, energy, non-marine, and aviation risks as well as UK motor
and nuclear.

For the first nine months of 2011, commercial lines accounted for
49% of net premium written, while personal auto and homeowners
accounted, respectively, for 27% and 14% of NPW. Chaucer accounted
for about 21% of the company's net premium written during 3Q11,
which is the first full quarter since Hanover closed on the
acquisition on July 1, 2011.

Rating Outlook

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Hanover will
implement enhanced risk management oversight of its recent
acquisition, Chaucer, and focus on integrating the operations.
Hanover has been active over the past two years including its
acquisition of the standard commercial lines business of OneBeacon
Insurance Group in late 2009. Moody's expects that Hanover will
reduce the pace of meaningfully-sized acquisitions over the medium
term.

What to Watch For:

- Integration/operational risk related to acquisitions;

- Large loss accumulations due to weather related events (e.g.
   wind, tornado, hail);

- Potentially reduced favorable prior-year reserve development.

What Could Change the Rating - Up

- Continued strengthening of risk-adjusted capitalization (as
   measured in part by gross underwriting leverage consistently
   below 3.0 times)

- Sustained operating profitability including the impact of
   catastrophes losses (combined ratios well below 100%)

- EBIT coverage of interest consistently greater than 6x

- Adjusted debt-to-capital consistently in the low 20% range

What Could Change the Rating - Down

- Adjusted debt-to-capital ratio sustained consistently above
   30%

- EBIT coverage of interest less than 4x

- Large acquisition financed by substantial debt

- Decline in shareholders equity capitalization by more than 10%
   as a result of operating losses

The principal methodology used in this rating was Moody's Global
Rating Methodology for Property and Casualty Insurers published in
May 2010.

                     About Hardage Hotels

Hardage Hotels I, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr.
W.D. Tex. Case No. 12-30443) on March 6, 2012.  Hardage is a hotel
and real estate development company headquartered in San Diego,
California.  Hardage operates seven hotels in seven states under
the brand of "Chase Suites".  The hotels are located in El Paso,
Texas; Overland Park, Kansas; Newark, California; Kansas City,
Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Dublin, Ohio.

Hardage operates the hotels under the "Chase Suites" name pursuant
to franchise agreements with Hardage Hospitality, LLC.  The Debtor
has no employees -- all employees at the hotels are employed by
non-debtor Hardage Hospitality, which provides hotel management
services.

The Debtor has outstanding secured debt of $34.2 million plus
interest.  The lenders are OneWest Bank, FSB; California First
National Bank, N.A., and Security Bank of Kansas City.  OneWest
is the lender under a $5.74 million Dublin loan agreement, a
$5.3 million Lincoln loan agreement, and an $11.5 million El Paso
loan agreement.

Hardage was forced to file for bankruptcy when Hardage reached an
out-of-court restructuring of its debts with OneWest and then
OneWest reneged on its commitment.  In September 2010, OneWest
filed a collection against Hardage and sought the appointment of a
receiver over the El Paso property.  A receivership order was
entered but was vacated, although Hardage was ordered to make
payments to OneWest.  The parties then entered into a series of
tolling agreements, under which Hardage paid OneWest $700,000 so
that OneWest would not pursue any further action.  Following
negotiations, the parties signed a "final term sheet" on a
restructuring on Dec. 2, 2011.

But, according to the Debtor, OneWest reneged on the agreement.
In November, OneWest sought foreclosure of, and a receiver for,
the Dublin and El Paso properties.

The Debtor on March 5, 2012, initiated a lawsuit against OneWest
in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Los Angeles, Central District.  The suit alleges several causes of
action, including fraud and breach of contract.

Judge H. Christopher Mott presides over the Chapter 11 case.  The
Debtor has tapped Haynes and Boone LLP as attorneys, and
Transitional Finance Partners LLC as financial advisor.  The
petition was signed by Samuel A. Hardage, president.

                       About Hardage Hotels

Hardage Hotels I, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr.
W.D. Tex. Case No. 12-30443) on March 6, 2012.  Hardage is a hotel
and real estate development company headquartered in San Diego,
California.  Hardage operates seven hotels in seven states under
the brand of "Chase Suites".  The hotels are located in El Paso,
Texas; Overland Park, Kansas; Newark, California; Kansas City,
Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Dublin, Ohio.

Hardage operates the hotels under the "Chase Suites" name pursuant
to franchise agreements with Hardage Hospitality, LLC.  The Debtor
has no employees -- all employees at the hotels are employed by
non-debtor Hardage Hospitality, which provides hotel management
services.

The Debtor has outstanding secured debt of $34.2 million plus
interest.  The lenders are OneWest Bank, FSB; California First
National Bank, N.A., and Security Bank of Kansas City.  OneWest
is the lender under a $5.74 million Dublin loan agreement, a
$5.3 million Lincoln loan agreement, and an $11.5 million El Paso
loan agreement.

Hardage was forced to file for bankruptcy when Hardage reached an
out-of-court restructuring of its debts with OneWest and then
OneWest reneged on its commitment.  In September 2010, OneWest
filed a collection against Hardage and sought the appointment of a
receiver over the El Paso property.  A receivership order was
entered but was vacated, although Hardage was ordered to make
payments to OneWest.  The parties then entered into a series of
tolling agreements, under which Hardage paid OneWest $700,000 so
that OneWest would not pursue any further action.  Following
negotiations, the parties signed a "final term sheet" on a
restructuring on Dec. 2, 2011.

But, according to the Debtor, OneWest reneged on the agreement.
In November, OneWest sought foreclosure of, and a receiver for,
the Dublin and El Paso properties.

The Debtor on March 5, 2012, initiated a lawsuit against OneWest
in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Los Angeles, Central District.  The suit alleges several causes of
action, including fraud and breach of contract.

Judge H. Christopher Mott presides over the Chapter 11 case.  The
Debtor has tapped Haynes and Boone LLP as attorneys, and
Transitional Finance Partners LLC as financial advisor.  The
petition was signed by Samuel A. Hardage, president.  In its
schedules, the Debtor disclosed $39,354,056 in total assets and
$31,088,835 in total liabilities.


HARTFORD COMPUTER: Delaware Street DIP Loan Expires May 18
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois,
in a final order, authorized Hartford Computer Group, Inc., to
obtain postpetition financing from Delaware Street Capital Master
Fund, L.P., and to use cash collateral and grant adequate
protection to Delaware Street as prepetition secured lender.

The DIP Credit Agreement will terminate on a) May 18, 2012; or (b)
on the occurrence of a termination event.  The Debtors' authority
to use cash collateral will also terminate on May 18.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 4, 2012,
Delaware Street has committed to provide up to $14.4 million in
DIP financing.

Effective as of May 9, 2005, the Debtors entered into a Master
Restructuring Agreement with Delaware Street, MRR Venture LLC, ARG
Investments, SKM Equity Fund II L.P., and SKM Investment Fund II,
HCG Financial Services Inc., and Enable Systems Inc.  The Debtors
amended and restructured their agreements with their various
stakeholders.  The Debtors' long-term, secured debt was:

     (a) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security
         Agreement dated as of December 17, 2004 among the Debtors
         and the Prepetition Senior Lender and various promissory
         notes and other documents, the Debtors owed the
         Prepetition Senior Lender, as of the Petition Date,
         $67,755,718;

     (b) pursuant to the Substituted and Amended Subordinated
         Promissory Note dated May 9, 2005, made by Hartford
         Computer Group, Inc. in favor of MRR Venture LLC --
         Prepetition Subordinated Lender -- Hartford Computer
         Group, Inc. owed the Prepetition Subordinated Lender
         $1,519,868; and

     (c) pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement by and between
         IBM Credit LLC, HCH and HCGovernment, dated as of May 5,
         2005, HCH and HCGovernment owed IBM $1,030,545.

The DIP Facility calls for the Debtors to sell substantially all
of their assets.

As reported in the TCR on April 4, 2012, Avnet, Inc. has completed
its acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of
the Debtors.  Nexicore, which generated revenue of approximately
US$85 million in the 2011 calendar year, was one of the leading
providers of repair and installation services in North America for
consumer electronics and computers, operating in three
complementary business lines, including depot repair, onsite
repair and installation, and spare parts management.  The
acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings
and supports Avnet's return on capital goals for acquisitions.

                             Objection

Stockholders ARG Investments, Enable Systems, Inc., MRR Venture
LLC, SKM Equity Fund II, L.P., and SKM Investment Fund II had
objected to the Debtors' motion for DIP financing stating that any
final order approving the financing motion must not affect the
existing claims of the stockholders pending in the Delaware
Chancery Court challenging the actions taken by Delaware Street
and certain directors of HCG or be deemed to require the
stockholders to file a duplicative action in the Court.

HOSTESS BRANDS: Fails to Reach Deal With Teamsters Union
--------------------------------------------------------
The Huffington Post reports that the Teamsters union, which
represents 7,500 Hostess workers, hasn't reached a contract
agreement with Hostess Brands, saying the company is demanding too
much in the way of concessions.

According to the report, Hostess argues that its pension and labor
costs are untenable.  A ruling against Hostess in court would
force the company back to the bargaining table with the Teamsters.
A ruling in favor of Hostess would allow the company to escape its
current labor contracts.

"And in that case, we will be on strike," the report quotes Ken
Hall, Teamsters vice president, as saying.  According to Mr. Hall,
the union's Hostess workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a
strike.  Though he wouldn't put a date on it, he said the strike
could happen "very soon."  The union recently acknowledged to the
court that negotiations were "in crisis."

According to the Huff Post, Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn said in
an e-mailed statement that "Hostess will be forced to liquidate if
there were a strike by either of its largest unions because its
lenders would pull their financing."

"That's why the company has tried to reach a consensual agreement
with its unions that would lower the costs of its union pension
and health plans while still providing employees with good,
industry standard benefits," he said.

According to the report, the two sides failed to reach an
agreement in advance of the hearing in bankruptcy court in New
York, each arguing that the other's proposals were unreasonable.
After an offer made by Hostess over the weekend calling for steep
pension cuts, the Teamsters made a counter offer with more modest
concessions that amount to $150 million annually, including the
temporary suspension of pension payments, according to the union.
Hostess maintains that the current employee pension plans are too
costly and financially unstable.

The report, citing a letter to employees, says Hostess warned that
a strike would cripple the company: "All Hostess Brands operations
would shut down and liquidation would begin.  The 18,500 jobs,
plus the health insurance that comes with them, would be lost for
good."

The Huff Post says the union's hard stance suggests a degree of
frustration among rank-and-file workers.  Dow Jones reported
earlier this month that Hostess' creditors were concerned that the
company may have manipulated executive pay leading up to its
Chapter 11 filing, possibly allowing Hostess managers to sidestep
compensation requirements under bankruptcy law.  The company has
denied the creditors' implications, the Huff Post says.

The bankruptcy judge is expected to make a decision on Hostess'
union contracts in several weeks, the Huff Post says.

                      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, FTI Consulting, Inc. to provide an
interim treasurer and additional personnel for the Debtors, 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.

Attorneys for The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain
Millers International Union and Bakery & Confectionery Union &
Industry International Pension Fund are Jeffrey R. Freund, Esq.,
at Bredhoff & Kaiser, P.L.L.C.; and Ancela R. Nastasi, Esq., David
A. Rosenzweig, Esq., and Camisha L. Simmons, Esq., at Fulbright &
Jaworski L.L.P.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.  The committee selected New York law firm Kramer Levin
Naftalis & Frankel LLP as its counsel. Tom Mayer and Ken Eckstein
head the legal team for the committee.


HOSTESS BRANDS: Can Keep Control Over Chapter 11 Case, Judge Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel Feintzeig at Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports
that a judge indicated he would extend Hostess Brand Inc.'s
control over its bankruptcy restructuring, rather than opening the
case up to rival plans from creditors eager to reach out to
investors who'd fund their own exit plan for the bakery company.

As reported in the April 9, 2012 edition of the TCR, the Debtors
have asked the Bankruptcy Court for an order (a) extending the
period during which the Debtors have the exclusive right to
file a chapter 11 plan or plans by 90 days, through and including
Aug. 8, 2012; and (b) extending the period during which the
Debtors have the exclusive right to solicit acceptances of the
Plan through and including Oct. 7, 2012, or approximately 60 days
after the expiration of the Exclusive Filing Period, as extended.

The Debtors said they are focused on implementing a restructuring
that maximizes value for stakeholders and ensures a viable company
post-emergence.  Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have taken a
number of critical steps to promote their reorganization.

The Debtors had developed a comprehensive turnaround plan, which
requires the Debtors, among other things, to modify certain
aspects of their collective bargaining agreements, including the
Debtors' obligations with respect to health and welfare plans,
work rules and multi-employer pension plans.  Other features of
the Turnaround Plan are not labor related, such as modernizing the
Debtors' vehicle fleet, restructuring the Debtors' retail outlet
stores, reducing selling, general and administrative costs and
increasing the efficiency of various operational activities.

After being appointed on March 9, 2012, the Debtors' new chief
executive officer, Greg Rayburn, immediately began the process of
reviewing and modifying the Turnaround Plan.  The Debtor expects
the modified Turnaround Plan to be finalized by April 6.  Once the
modified Turnaround Plan is finalized, it will be provided to the
Debtors' key stakeholders, which have already reviewed the
Turnaround Plan.  The Turnaround Plan will provide the foundation
for any plan.

To implement the Turnaround Plan, the Debtors also said they must,
among other things, achieve certain modifications to the CBAs.
The vast majority of the Debtors' unionized workforce are members
of either the International Brotherhood of Teamsters National
Negotiating Committee, and the Bakery, Confectionery Tobacco and
Grain Workers International Union.  For several months, the
Debtors have been engaged in negotiations with the IBT and the
BCT, and the Debtors have filed a motion to reject the CBAs and
modify certain retiree benefit obligations.  The Debtors said they
continue to bargain in good faith with the IBT and BCT and are
hopeful that a consensual resolution can be reached.  In the event
that the negotiations do not yield favorable results, however, a
trial on the Motion is currently scheduled to take place beginning
April 17.

The Debtors also are currently negotiating with their other 10
unions to obtain relief similar to that which is sought in the
Motion.  Resolution of all of these matters is necessary before
the Debtors can formulate a Chapter 11 Plan.

The Debtors also disclosed they have begun searching for investors
interested in providing necessary financing for the Debtors'
Chapter 11 Plan process.  The Debtors have reached out to 41
potential investors, 14 of whom executed confidentiality
agreements and began due diligence.  The Debtors received the
first round of proposals on Feb. 27, 2012.  The second round of
proposals are expected during the week of May 7, 2012.

The Debtors require additional time to complete this process
before a plan of reorganization can be formulated.

The Debtors also said they have begun a parallel process to pursue
a sale of their assets as a failsafe in the event that the
modifications to their CBAs cannot be achieved.

The Debtors also said their postpetition lenders also have agreed
to extend deadlines, or milestones, with respect to the progress
of the CBA Motion.  The lenders have been modified to provide for
an extended schedule which currently requires filing of a plan no
sooner than June 1, 2012.  This change, the Debtors said,
recognizes that a plan cannot sensibly proceed until the Debtors
progress on their labor and new capital initiatives.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL: Creditors Open Debate on Bond Payments
------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that a lawyer for Alabama's
bankrupt Jefferson County said that the county has the right to
cut payments to bondholders so it can meet operating expenses for
water, sewer and other public services.

                      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.

U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Bennett ruled in March 2012 that
Jefferson County is eligible under state law to pursue a debt
restructuring under Chapter 9.  Holders of more than $3 billion in
defaulted sewer debt had challenged the county's right to be in
Chapter 9.

At the end of March, Financial Guaranty Insurance Co., which
guaranteed about half of the $3.1 billion in sewer bonds sold by
Jefferson County, Alabama, filed papers asking the bankruptcy
judge in Birmingham to allow the receiver for the sewer system to
complete the process of raising rates.  In June 2011, the receiver
was set to raise the rates 25 percent before he held off the plan
in favor of discussions that led to agreements on slower-paced
increases and an overall restructuring.


KEMPER CORPORATION: Moody's Issues Summary Credit Opinion
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service issued a summary credit opinion on
Kemper Corporation and includes certain regulatory disclosures
regarding its ratings. The release does not constitute any change
in Moody's ratings or rating rationale for Kemper Corporation.

Moody's current ratings on Kemper Corporation are:

Long Term Issuer rating of Baa3

Senior Unsecured (domestic currency) ratings of Baa3

Senior Unsecured Shelf (domestic currency) ratings of (P)Baa3

Preferred Shelf (domestic currency) ratings of (P)Ba2

Rating Rationale

Kemper Corporation, formerly Unitrin, Inc., has a Baa3 senior debt
rating (stable outlook), which is based primarily on the
underlying credit characteristics of the group's property and
casualty segment, led by Trinity Universal Insurance Company
(Trinity), and the group's life segment, led by United Insurance
Company of America (United), which are both rated A3 for insurance
financial strength (IFS).

The stable outlook reflects actions taken by the company to
strengthen its financial flexibility and improve its operations.
In 3Q11, Kemper's sub-prime auto finance business, Fireside Bank,
was reclassified as a discontinued operation following the sale of
the unit's active portfolio of auto loan receivables. This has
significantly reduced the potential for support from the parent
and/or the group's insurance operations. The quality of the
investment portfolio has improved meaningfully, reflecting a
reduction in the size of the equity portfolio and lower
concentrations in several equity holdings. The group's adjusted
financial leverage is within Moody's expectations and stood at
approximately 30% at September 30, 2011.

Kemper's senior debt is positioned three notches below the
financial strength of its lead property/casualty and life
insurance operations, consistent with Moody's typical notching
practices for U.S. holding company structures. Although the debt
rating is supported by relatively balanced earnings of both the
P&C and life businesses, underwriting profitability of the P&C
group has been weak in recent years. In addition, the capital
bases of the P&C and life operations are weighted significantly
toward the P&C group, which represented 65% of the 2010 combined
statutory surplus of the group.

Rating Outlook

The rating outlook is stable.

What Could Change the Rating - Up

- Improved and sustained P&C operating performance with combined
   ratios consistently below 100%

- Continued strengthening of capital adequacy (Gross
   underwriting leverage at or below 3x)

- Adjusted financial leverage below 30%

What Could Change the Rating - Down

- Deterioration in underwriting performance with combined ratios
   consistently above 103%

- Gross underwriting leverage of 5x or higher

- Reduction in P&C capital greater than 10%

- Adjusted financial leverage above 40%

The methodologies used in this rating were Moody's Global Rating
Methodology for Property and Casualty Insurers published in May
2010 and Moody's Global Rating Methodology for Life Insurers
published in May 2010.


LAS VEGAS MONORAIL: Taps BDO USA as Accountants and Auditors
------------------------------------------------------------
Las Vegas Monorail Company, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nevada for permission to employ BDO USA, LLP as
accountants and auditors.

The Debtors previously retained Kafoury, Armstrong & Co. as its
auditors to perform audit services and prepare the Debtor's
federal returns for the years 2009 and 2010.

To perform audit services and prepare the Debtor's federal
information return for 2012, the Debtor has selected BDO, as BDO
will perform the same services at a substantially lower cost.

BDO will audit the Debtor's balance sheet, statement of revenue,
expenses and change in net assets and cash flows, which
collectively comprise the basic financial statements of the
Debtor. as of and for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011.  BDO
anticipates completing its audit by April 30.

BDO estimates that its fee for the Audit Services and Return
exclusive of expenses, will not exceed $51,000, with the fees
being based on the standard hourly billing rates for work
performed by BDO's partners and employees.

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

                    About Las Vegas Monorail

Las Vegas, Nevada-based Las Vegas Monorail Company, organized by
the State of Nevada in 2000 as a nonprofit corporation, owns and
manages the Las Vegas Monorail.  The Monorail is a seven-stop,
elevated train system that travels along a 3.9-mile route near the
Las Vegas Strip.  LVMC has contracted with Bombardier Transit
Corporation to operate the Monorail.  Though it benefits from its
tax-exempt status due to being a nonprofit entity, LVMC claims to
be the first privately-owned public transportation system in the
nation to be funded solely by fares and advertising.  LVMC says it
receives no governmental financial support or subsidies.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.
Nev. Case No. 10-10464) on Jan. 13, 2010.  Gerald M. Gordon, Esq.,
William M. Noall, Esq., and Gabriel A. Hamm, Esq., at Gordon
Silver, assist the Company in its restructuring effort.  Alvarez &
Marsal North America, LLC, is the Debtor's financial advisor.

counsel.  Jones Vargas is the Debtor's special corporate counsel.
The Company disclosed $395,959,764 in assets and $769,515,450 in
liabilities as of the Petition Date.

In April 2010, bondholder Ambac Assurance Corp. lost in its bid to
halt the bankruptcy after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Bruce A. Markell
ruled that Monorail isn't a municipality and is therefore entitled
to reorganize in Chapter 11.  U.S. District Judge James Mahan in
Reno upheld the ruling in October 2010.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Court Approves Lehman Re Settlement
----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan issued an order approving
a settlement between Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Lehman Re
Ltd., a Bermuda-based insurance firm.

The deal would reduce Lehman Re's claims from $2.3 billion to
$1 billion.  The claims stemmed from the insurance firm's 1999
repurchase agreement with Lehman's commercial paper unit
involving residential and commercial mortgages and loans, and
from its 2007 Net Worth Maintenance Agreement with Lehman.

Aside from the settlement of claims, the deal also requires
Lehman's commercial paper unit to purchase loans from the
insurance firm for $32 million.

Lehman Re's claim, designated as Claim No. 28307, against Lehman
is classified under the Chapter 11 plan in Class 8, and is
allowed as an unsecured, non-priority affiliate claim in the sum
of $415 million.  Its claim against Lehman's commercial paper
unit is classified in Class 5C and is allowed as an unsecured,
non-priority affiliate claim in the sum of $490 million,
according to the court order.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Settlement of IRS 2001-2007 Tax Disputes Okayed
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan approved a settlement
agreement between Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Internal
Revenue Service.

The agreement calls for the settlement of a tax dispute between
the company and IRS.  Under the deal, the agency made concessions
that reduce the amount of the adjustments to income, tax credits,
and penalties, which it proposed after auditing Lehman's 2001 to
2007 consolidated income tax returns.

As reported in the March 5, 2012 edition of the Troubled Company
Reporter, the dispute ensued after the IRS proposed 36 adjustments
to income, tax credits, and penalties after auditing Lehman's 2001
to 2007 consolidated income tax returns, and evaluating additional
tax positions claimed by the company during the audit that were
not included in its originally filed consolidated income tax
returns.  The adjustments proposed by the IRS could potentially
increase tax liability by $2.6 billion, according to court
filings.

The proposed agreement calls for the settlement of 26 of the 36
issues that constitute the tax disputes between the company and
the IRS.  Under the agreement, the IRS made concessions that
reduce the amount of its proposed adjustments. Of the $2.6 billion
in adjustments proposed by the IRS, $1.8 billion is attributable
to the 26 issues.  As a result of the settlement, the IRS will
concede $1.1 billion of the $1.8 billion in taxes and penalties it
sought to impose while Lehman will agree to $652 million of
adjustments to tax.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Objection to Use of Non-Cash Assets Overruled
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan overruled an objection
from Jamie Murcia to Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s use of non-
cash assets as a reserve to cover disputed claims.

The bankruptcy court authorized Lehman in February to cover
disputed claims in part with non-cash assets, a move that could
boost initial payment to creditors under its $65 billion payout
plan by about $2.8 billion.  It ordered the company to retain at
least 25% in cash as a reserve.

Lehman, which has about $18 billion of cash available for payment
to creditors, said the use of non-cash assets will speed up the
distribution and that the company won't have to maintain large
cash reserves for disputed claims that could reduce distribution.


LEHMAN BROTHERS: Suit Filed for Alpharetta Property
---------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. was slapped with a lawsuit filed by
Jenea Williams-Pate in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.

Ms. Williams-Pate sued the company, along with Aurora Banks FSB,
in connection with the ownership of a property located in
Alpharetta, Georgia.  She accused the defendants of filing false
documents with the Fulton County Recorder in Georgia "as part of
its continuing fraud upon the court, clouding plaintiff title and
ownership interest in the subject property."

Ms. Williams-Pate asked the bankruptcy court to determine the
"validity, nature and extent" of the parties' interest in the
property.

LIMITED BRANDS: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' LT Issuer Default Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed its ratings on Limited Brands, Inc.,
including the long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB+'.  The
Rating Outlook is Stable.

The affirmations reflect Limited Brands' strong brand recognition
and dominant market positions in intimate apparel and personal
care and beauty products, strong operating results, reasonable
credit metrics, solid cash flow generation and good liquidity.
The ratings also consider the company's track record of
shareholder-friendly activities.

Fitch has a favorable view of the business profile given the
diversity of its two profitable flagship brands, Victoria's Secret
and Bath & Body Works, as well as a strong direct business, and a
growing international effort.  Both concepts have been successful
in keeping merchandise fresh and current, which has fueled strong
comparable store sales, enhanced customer loyalty, and optimized
markdown activity.  At 15% - 20% of operating profits, the large
catalog and Internet business (15% of 2011 sales) is a positive
for operating margins, and extends the reach of the brands.

Limited Brands' comparable store sales (comps) trends have
remained robust, growing at 10% in 2011 (fiscal year ended Jan.
28, 2012) on top of a strong recovery at 9% in 2010.  In addition
to positive operating leverage from the favorable comps trendline,
the company has driven margin growth through efficient inventory
management.  EBITDA margins of over 19% (after adjusting for the
sale of the third party sourcing business) are solid in comparison
to the broader retail average in the low teens.

Pro forma for the unsecured notes issued in February 2012, lease-
adjusted leverage is 3.6x, increasing about 0.4x, which is within
the context of the existing rating level.  Fitch generally expects
the company to maintain a leverage profile in the mid-3x area,
directing free cash flow (FCF) toward dividends and share
repurchases.

Comparisons will be difficult for 2012 given the robust
performance of 2011. However, the core drivers of the business
remain strong - relevant brands and merchandise that command
attractive pricing and benefit from a loyal customer base.  As
such, Fitch estimates that Limited Brands will continue to post
positive comparable store sales in the low single digit range.
Operating margins are expected to be similar to 2011 levels.

Fitch expects Limited Brands to generate FCF (before dividends) in
the range of $650 million - $700 million in 2012 and 2013.  This
compares to FCF generation of $840 million in 2011, as the company
will be spending more on capital expenditures in 2012 ($575
million - $625 million vs. $426 million in 2011).  Fitch typically
shows FCF after dividends.  For 2011 and 2010, this figure was
negative $304 million and negative $478 million.  The wide
differential to the earlier stated figures reflects the large
special dividend outlays (beyond a regular dividend of
approximately $200 million - $250 million), which are an outgrowth
of the company's shareholder-friendly stance.

There is no change in the company's shareholder-friendly posture.
Limited Brands remains committed to returning cash to shareholders
through share repurchases and dividends.  This posture is a key
constraint to the rating.  Fitch expects the company to direct a
significant portion of its FCF and the proceeds from its recent $1
billion bond issuance to fund these repurchases and dividends in
2012. More significant debt-financed share repurchases could be a
concern for the rating.

Liquidity is strong, as indicated by a cash balance of $935
million as of January 28, 2012 and an undrawn $1.0 billion
revolving credit facility.  The company has a comfortable maturity
profile, staggered over many years.  Fitch considers refinancing
risk low given Limited Brands' strong business profile, favorable
operating trends, and reasonable leverage.

Fitch currently rates Limited Brands as follows:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BB+';
  -- Bank credit facility 'BBB-';
  -- Senior guaranteed unsecured notes 'BB+';
  -- Senior unsecured notes 'BB';
  -- Short-term IDR and commercial paper rating withdrawn.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

LSP ENERGY: Seeks to Keep Control Over Chapter 11 Case
------------------------------------------------------
Marie Beaudette at Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports that LSP
Energy is seeking to keep control over its Chapter 11 case through
Sept. 7 while it continues to look for a buyer for its Mississippi
power plant.

                         About LSP Energy

LSP Energy Limited Partnership, LSP Energy, Inc., LSP Batesville
Holding, LLC, and LSP Batesville Funding Corporation filed
separate Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 12-10460) on Feb. 10, 2012.

LSP owns and operates an electric generation facility located in
Batesville, Mississippi.  The Facility consists of three gas-fired
combined cycle electric generators with a total generating
capacity of roughly 837 megawatts and is electrically
interconnected into the Entergy and Tennessee Valley Authority
transmission systems.  LSP's principal assets are the Facility and
the 58-acre parcel of real property on which it is located, as
well as its rights under a tolling agreements.

LSP filed bankruptcy to complete an orderly sale of its assets or
the ownership interests of LSP Holding in LSP, LSP Energy and LSP
Funding for the benefit of all stakeholders.  The remaining three
Debtors filed bankruptcy due to their relationship as affiliates
of LSP and their ultimate obligations on a significant portion of
LSP's secured bond debt.  The Debtors also suffered losses due to
a mechanical failure of a combustion turbine at their facility and
resultant business interruption.

LSP Energy is the general partner of LSP.  LSP Holding is the
limited partner of LSP and the 100% equity holder of LSP Energy
and LSP Funding.  LSP Funding is a co-obligor on the Debtors' bond
debt, and each of LSP Energy and LSP Holding has pledged their
equity interests in LSP and LSP Funding as collateral for the bond
debt.

No statutorily authorized creditors' committee has yet been
appointed in the Debtors' cases by the United States Trustee.

Judge Mary F. Walrath oversees the case.  Lawyers at Whiteford
Taylor & Preston LLC serve as the Debtors' counsel.


MARIANA RETIREMENT FUND: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

The Northern Mariana Islands Retirement Fund, through its

Northern Mariana Islands Retirement Fund --
http://www.nmiretirement.com/-- is a public corporation of the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands that receives and
invests retirement contributions and pays certain benefits to or
on account of certain retirees of the Commonwealth government,
their survivors, and certain disabled persons.

The Fund said in court papers that the Chapter 11 filing was
precipitated by the discrepancy between the Debtor's current
ability to pay benefits to Beneficiaries and the Debtor's current
obligations to those same Beneficiaries.  As a result of the
failure by the Commonwealth and certain of its other agencies to
remit to the Debtor the full "employer" contribution necessary to
fund benefits to the Beneficiaries, the Debtor finds itself in the
position of being obligated to pay benefits to Beneficiaries at a
rate that, unless modified, will result in the Debtor's failure by
approximately July 2014.  Upon the Debtor's failure, it is
expected that all benefit payments to Beneficiaries would cease
entirely, unless another funding source could be identified.

The July 2014 projection is based on these assumptions: (i) the
Commonwealth Superior Court will sustain the Aug. 22, 2011 Order
setting aside and protecting all employee contributions at its
June 29, 2012 review of that Order; (ii) the Commonwealth
government will continue remitting employer contributions at $13
million per annum, a level far below its statutorily-prescribed
rate; and (iii) the rate of return on the NMIRF's investments will
remain fixed at 7.5%.

The Debtor obtained a default judgment against the Commonwealth on
June 29, 2009, for the Commonwealth's failure to remit employer
contributions as required by law, which judgment has since grown
to roughly $325 million.  But, the Debtor has been unsuccessful
in its attempts to enforce its judgment.

Moreover, the Commonwealth Superior Court issued an Order
declining to act on the Debtor's request to reduce benefits to
retirees to preserve the Debtor's assets.

Ferdie de la Torre, writing for the Saipan Tribune, reports that,
according to court papers, the filing of the bankruptcy petition
was made after special meetings of the Fund's board of trustees
April 17 and April 4.

According to the Saipan Tribune, Mr. Huesman said the Fund has
taken steps to provide beneficiaries with full payments for a
period of up to two months from a source outside of the Fund's
estate while the court considers the relief being requested in the
petition.  The lawyer said the Fund's payment of benefits to
beneficiaries and operating expenses have averaged roughly $77.9
million per year in the last three years.  In contrast, he said,
during those same years, the Fund's funding -- consisting of
employee contributions, returns on investments, and employer
contributions -- has averaged roughly $30.9 million per year.

"As a result of such continuous underfunding, which necessitated
withdrawing from its portfolio to cover funding shortfalls, the
value of the [Fund's] assets has fallen from $353,475,412 in 2009
to its current level of $268,448,997.84," Mr. Huesman said,
according to the Tribune.

Mr. Huesman also said the Fund is subject to liabilities (both
current and actuarial) totaling about $911 million.

MBI ENERGY: Moody's Assigns B3 CFR, Rates Sr. Unsec. Notes Caa1
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa1 rating to MBI Energy
Services, Inc.'s senior unsecured notes due 2020. Moody's also
assigned a B3 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of
Default Rating (PDR). This is the first time that Moody's has
rated MBI. The outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

"The B3 CFR is restrained by MBI's geographic and business line
concentration, small scale, Moody's expectation of rapid growth
with negative free cash flow, leverage which we view as high
considering the company's business risk profile, and exposure to
the oilfield services sector which is inherently cyclical and
indirectly driven by commodity prices," commented Jonathan
Kalmanoff, Moody's Analyst. "The rating is supported by MBI's
market position in the rapidly growing Bakken, a thirty year
operating history in the region, flexible capital spending
requirements, and low operating leverage." Moody's estimates
December 31, 2011 LTM adjusted debt / EBITDA to be 2.9x, pro forma
for the proposed notes issuance and acquisitions through March of
2012.

Assignments:

  Issuer: MBI Energy Services, Inc.

     Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B3

     Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B3

     Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned a range of
     63 - LGD4 to Caa1

     Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned a range of
     63 - LGD4 to Caa1

MBI has adequate liquidity to cover expected negative free cash
flow through the second quarter of 2013, considering current
capital spending plans. As of April 12, 2012 (pro forma for the
notes issuance) the company had $13.7 million of cash and an
undrawn $100 million secured revolving credit facility which
matures in 2017. There are no additional debt maturities until
2020 when the notes mature. Financial covenants under the credit
facility are debt / EBITDA of no more than 3.5x, secured debt /
EDITDA of no more than 2.5x, and EBITDA / interest of at least
3.0x. Considering both pro forma leverage and Moody's expectation
of negative free cash flow for 2012 in the range of $50 million to
$65 million at the current capital spending budget, Moody's
expects that MBI will be able to maintain a comfortable level of
headroom under the covenants. Substantially all of MBI's assets
are pledged as security under the credit agreement, which limits
the extent to which asset sales could provide a source of
additional liquidity if needed.

The Caa1 senior unsecured note rating reflects both the overall
probability of default of MBI, to which Moody's assigns a PDR of
B3, and a loss given default of LGD4-63%. The size of the senior
secured revolver's priority claim relative to the senior unsecured
notes results in the notes being rated one notch beneath the B3
CFR under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if MBI increases its geographic
and/or business line diversification while maintaining leverage
below 3.0x. Moody's could downgrade the ratings if leverage
increases due to a leveraging acquisition, growth which is more
rapid than anticipated, or a cyclical or regional downturn in
activity which is much stronger than anticipated and debt / EBITDA
appears likely to be 4.5x or higher.

The principal methodology used in rating MBI Energy Services was
the Global Oilfield Services 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.

MBI Energy Services, Inc. is an oilfield services company
headquartered in Belfield, ND.


MCCLATCHY CO: Morgan Stanley Holds 5% of Class A Common Shares
--------------------------------------------------------------
In a Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Morgan Stanley disclosed that, as of April 10, 2012,
it beneficially owns 3,075,135 shares of Class A common stock of
McClatchy Co representing 5% of the shares outstanding.  A copy of
the filing is available for free at http://is.gd/BnpGyc

million in stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

McClatchy carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating from Moody's
Investors Service.  In May 2011, Moody's changed the rating
outlook from stable to positive following the company's
announcement that it closed on the sale of land in Miami for
$236 million.  The outlook change reflects Moody's expectation
that McClatchy will utilize the net proceeds to reduce debt,
including its underfunded pension position, which will reduce
leverage by approximately half a turn and lower required
contributions to the pension plan over the next few years.


METALDYNE CORP: Carlyle Group Plans to Sell to Generate Cash
------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Carlyle Group LP said it is looking to sell
auto parts supplier Metaldyne and hopes to fetch as much as
$1 billion as it cashes in on a strong recovery in vehicle
production volumes.

According to the report, the potential sale of Metaldyne could
prove a strong win for Carlyle almost three years after the auto
supplier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it
struggled with high debt and a severe slump in vehicle production
volumes in North America.  Carlyle, which led an investment group
that acquired Metaldyne assets out of bankruptcy in late 2009, has
chosen Bank of America Merrill Lynch to advise on a possible sale
of Metaldyne after interviewing investment banks in February,
according to the sources.

The report notes Metaldyne is projected to have about $150 million
to $160 million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) in 2012 and could be sold for about six
times EBITDA.  Metaldyne is among several automotive assets that
have gone on the auction block over the past year as hedge funds,
distressed investors and private equity firms that snapped up
assets during the industry recession look to take advantage of
improving vehicle production in North America.

The report relates Carlyle is expected to start the sale process
for Metaldyne in the next several weeks and could receive interest
from private equity firms as well as trade buyers.

                      About Metaldyne Corp.

Metaldyne Corp. is a global designer and supplier of metal based
components, assemblies and modules for transportation related

May 27, 2009 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 09-13412).  The filing did
not include the company's non-U.S. entities or operations.  As of
March 29, 2009, the Company, utilizing book values, listed assets
of US$977 million and liabilities of $927 million.

Smith LLP, and the committee tapped Huron Consulting Services,
LLC, as its financial advisor.

Judge Martin Glenn approved the sale of substantially all assets
to Carlyle Group in November 2009 for roughly $496.5 million, and
confirmed the Debtors' liquidating chapter 11 plan on Feb. 23,
2010.  Under the terms of the confirmed liquidation plan, Oldco M
Distribution Trust is the post-confirmation entity charged with
prosecuting all claim objections and distributing all plan assets
pursuant to the terms of the plan.  The Trust is represented by
Kimberly E.C. Lawson, Esq., at Reed Smith LLP, in Wilmington, Del.


MF GLOBAL: U.S. Senators Pass Resolution to Block Bonuses
---------------------------------------------------------
Mike Spector of The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S.
Senate passed a resolution in March urging the trustee overseeing
MF Global Holdings Ltd.'s bankruptcy estate to drop a plan to
propose bonuses for executives at the securities firm.

The resolution, while not carrying any legal force, amounts to a
strong rebuke from Capitol Hill to Louis J. Freeh, the trustee
overseeing the Chapter 11 cases of MFGH, the report wrote.  Sen.
Debbie Stabenow, the Senate Agriculture Committee's chairwoman,
wrote the resolution and Sen. Pat Roberts, the committee's
ranking Republican, co-sponsored the resolution, the report
noted, citing a person familiar with the matter said.

The resolution read "it is the sense of the Senate that bonuses
should not be paid to the executives and employees who were
responsible for the day-to-day management and operations of MF
Global until its customers' segregated account funds are repaid
in full and investigations by Federal authorities have revealed
both the cause of, and parties responsible for, the loss of
millions of dollars of customer money," the Journal relayed.

The Chapter 11 Trustee "has not made any decisions or
recommendation whatsoever in this matter," a lawyer for Mr. Freeh
confirmed in a statement, the Journal relayed.  Nonetheless, the
Chapter 11 Trustee "has noted the comments by members of the
Senate and other speculation being reported in the media about
whether any bonuses might be awarded to MF Global officers under
hypothetical business and financial metrics," according to the
laywer.  The lawyer added that questions over these kinds of
bonuses are "routinely raised" in cases where executives remain
in a bankruptcy estate, the report added.

The resolution cited an early March report in The Wall Street
Journal that the Chapter 11 Trustee planned to proposed
performance-based bonuses of up to hundreds of dollars each for
MF Global's chief operating officer, finance chief and general
counsel.  Executives -- Bradley I. Abelow, Henri I. Steenkamp and
Laurie R. Ferber -- were at MF Global when it collapsed October
31 and an estimated $1.6 billion shortfall in customer funds
developed, the Journal noted.

                          About MF Global

New York-based MF Global (NYSE: MF) -- http://www.mfglobal.com/
-- was one of the world's leading brokers of commodities and
listed derivatives.  MF Global provided access to more than 70

a March 27 updated posted in the firm's special administration

MILACRON HOLDINGS: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Pos
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its corporate credit
rating on Ohio-based Milacron Holdings Inc. on CreditWatch with
positive implications.

"The positive implication of the CreditWatch listing reflects our
view that Milacron's business risk profile has improved
sufficiently to support a higher rating," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Gregoire Buet. "We also believe the financial risk
profile, if CCMP Capital completes its acquisition as planned,
also will be commensurate with a one-notch-higher rating."

"Standard & Poor's also assigned a 'B+' issue rating and '4'
recovery rating to the company's proposed $265 million senior
secured notes due 2019, which wholly owned subsidiaries Mcron
Finance Sub LLC and Mcron Finance Corp. will co-issue. The 'B'
rating on Milacron LLC's existing senior secured term loan is not
on CreditWatch, and Standard & Poor's expects to withdraw the
issue and recovery ratings on the loan upon repayment of the
facility," S&P said.

"Milacron serves the plastics-processing industries and
metalworking industries. It provides injection, extrusion, and
blow-molding equipment; parts and services; mold bases and related
products; and industrial fluids to a broad customer base in
automotive, packaging, and various industrial and consumer end
markets," S&P said.

"We have revised our business risk profile assessment to 'weak' (a
stronger assessment) from 'vulnerable' because operating
performance in 2011 was better than we had expected and prospects
for 2012 remain relatively positive," Mr. Buet said. "In addition,
we expect that a leaner cost structure will help maintain better
profitability in a future downturn. Because of the private equity
ownership, we continue to view the company's financial risk
profile as 'aggressive' despite credit measures that will remain
stronger than our expectations for the 'B+' rating after the
recapitalization."

"Standard & Poor's expects to resolve the CreditWatch when CCMP
Capital completes the acquisition of Milacron, which could happen
in the next few weeks," S&P said.

As reported by the TCR on March 14, 2012, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its corporate credit rating on Uncasville,
Conn.-based Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA) to 'B-' from
'SD'.

"The upgrade to 'B-' reflects our reassessment of the Authority's
capital structure following the completion of its comprehensive
debt refinancing plan," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Melissa Long.  "While the completed transactions were not a de-
leveraging event, the post-exchange capital structure
substantially reduced MTGA's debt maturities over the next few
years," S&P said.

exclusive period until July 24.

to Aug. 20, and its exclusive plan solicitation period to Oct. 22,
respectively.

The Debtor told the Court that the claims bar date for
governmental bar date is May 21, and that because virtually the
entire class of unsecured creditors in dollar amount are

(CFR) for NewMarket Corporation. The company redeemed all of its
outstanding 7.125% senior notes due 2016 at the redemption price
of 103.563% plus accured and unpaid interest. This issuer has no
rated debt outstanding.

Ratings Rationale

The principal methodology used in rating NewMarket was the Global

Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.


NEXSTAR BROADCASTING: Calls for Redemption of $34MM Senior Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc., has called for redemption of
$34,000,000 of the $37,516,000 outstanding aggregate principal
amount of its 7% senior subordinated notes due 2014.  The
redemption price is $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the scheduled redemption date,
which is May 11, 2012.  Nexstar intends to fund the redemption of
the notes from cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit
facility or a combination thereof.

Nexstar estimates that if it were to fund the entire planned
$34,000,000 redemption with its revolving credit facility, the
current interest rate differential will be approximately 250 basis
points, resulting in annualized cash interest savings of
approximately $850,000.

                  About Nexstar Broadcasting Group

Irving, Texas-based Nexstar Broadcasting Group Inc. currently
owns, operates, programs or provides sales and other services to

The Company reported a net loss of $11.89 million in 2011, a net
loss of $1.81 million in 2010, and a net loss of $12.61 million
in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed
$595.03 million in total assets, $778.43 million in total
liabilities, and a $183.40 million total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

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

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

                           About NextWave

NextWave Wireless Inc. (PINK: WAVE) is a holding company for
holding company for a significant wireless spectrum portfolio.
Its continuing operations are focused on the management of ikts
wireless spectrum interests.  Total domestic spectrum holdings
consist of approximately 3.9 billion MHz POPs.  Its international
spectrum included in continuing operations include 2.3 GHz
licenses in Canada with 15 million POPs covered by 30 MHz of
spectrum.

In its report on the Company's annual report for year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, Ernst & Young, said, "The Company has incurred
recurring operating losses and has a working capital
deficiency, primarily comprised of the current portion of long
term obligations of $142.0 million at December 31, 2011 that is
associated with the maturity dates of its debt.  The Company
currently does not have the ability to repay this debt at
maturity. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern."

San Diego-based NextWave acknowledges that current cash reserves
are not sufficient to meet payment obligations under its secured
notes at their current maturity dates.  It added that it may not
be able to consummate sales of its wireless spectrum assets for
enough to repay debt at the scheduled maturity dates.

"Insufficient capital to repay our debt at maturity would
significantly restrict our ability to operate and could cause us
to seek relief through a filing in the United States Bankruptcy
Court," the Company said in the Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company has stated that it continues to pursue the sale of its
wireless spectrum holdings and has retained Moelis & Company to
explore the sale of its wireless holdings in United States and
Canada.


NICHOLAS FIORILLO: Case Trustees Sue Businessmen Over Extortion
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lee Hammel at Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports that trustees
representing the interests of creditors of the bankruptcy estate
of husband and wife, Nicholas J. Fiorillo and Tracey L. Krowel,
are suing David G. Massad and Marcello Mallegni alleging the two
businessmen engaged in racketeering and conspiracy.  The trustees
are Jonathan R. Goldsmith, a Springfield lawyer appointed in Mr.
Fiorillo's bankruptcy, and Joseph H. Baldiga, a Westboro lawyer,
appointed in Ms. Krowel's case.  Their adversary proceeding
alleges extortion and loan-sharking, usurious interest rates,
falsifying debt figures and bait-and-switch tactics to try to
wrest income properties from the couple and their trusts and real
estate company, and their personal residences.  The lawsuit also
alleges Mr. Massad and Mr. Mallegni have committed breach of
contract and breach of covenant of good faith and of fair dealing.

The trustees are asking a jury to award $6 million.

The report notes the lawsuit was filed Jan. 18; however, lawyers
for the defendants this month filed a motion asking that the case
be transferred to U.S. District Court.

According to the report, Mr. Massad is chairman and majority
stockholder in Commerce Bank and Trust Co. and Mr. Mallegni is
manager and an owner of LBM Financial LLC.  Commerce Bank and LBM
also have been named as defendants.

The report relates the defendants' lawyers predicted the
plaintiffs would be as unsuccessful in proving the allegations as
they were in 2007.  Mr. Fiorillo and Ms. Krowel brought a civil
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act charge against
them in U.S. District Court at that time and did not prevail.

Facing imminent foreclosure, Nicholas J. Fiorillo filed a pro se
Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. D. Mass Case No. 10-44179)
on Aug. 23, 2010.  The Bankruptcy Trustee sought on Oct. 4, 2010,
to convert the petition to a Chapter 7 liquidation action due to
Mr. Fiorillo's noncooperation in the Chapter 11 proceedings.  The
Bankruptcy Court granted the Trustee's motion on Oct. 7.  Mr.
Fiorillo then asked the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the Chapter 7
case, saying he had not complied with 11 U.S.C. Sec. 109(h); he
was ineligible to be a "Debtor" under the statute; and,
consequently, the Bankruptcy Court lacked jurisdiction over his
bankruptcy proceeding.  The Trustee objected, and the Bankruptcy
Court denied the motion.  The District Court affirmed.


NOMOS CAPITAL: Fitch Rates Upcoming Loan Notes 'BB-(exp)'
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned Nomos Capital PLC's upcoming issue of

while the rest is publicly traded.  After the consolidation of
Bank of Khanty-Mansiysk, NOMOS was the second largest universal

NORTHCORE TECHNOLOGIES: Speeds Up Intellectual Property Strategy
----------------------------------------------------------------

existing holdings and continue to expand the Intellectual Property
footprint of the corporation.  These filings represent significant
steps in this regard and will specifically target new avenues in
Social Commerce.  The company is also actively seeking
opportunities to acquire synergistic properties.

"I had promised our stakeholders that we would quickly show
evidence of our accretive IP strategy and this series of filings
is just the beginning," said Amit Monga, CEO of Northcore
Technologies.  "We firmly believe that such holdings will be
invaluable to Northcore as we continue to execute on our growth
plan.  In combination with our existing Dutch Auction patents, we
are now targeting control over methods of commerce as novel and
important as those implemented by industry leaders like Groupon
and Priceline."

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in its annual report for the year ended Dec. 31,
2011, that its loan agreement with the Koski Family Limited
Partnership matures in three years and select material assets of
the Company relating to or connected with its ProBiora3, SMaRT
Replacement Therapy, MU1140 and LPT3-04 technologies have been
pledged as collateral to secure the Company's borrowings under the
Loan Agreement.  This secured indebtedness could impede the
Company from raising the additional equity or debt capital the
Company needs to continue its operations even though the amount
borrowed under the Loan Agreement automatically converts into
equity upon a qualified equity financing of at least $5 million.
The Company's ability to repay the loan will depend largely upon
the Company's future operating performance and the Company cannot
assure that its business will generate sufficient cash flow or
that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital
necessary to repay the loan.  If the Company is unable to generate
sufficient cash flow or are otherwise unable to raise the funds
necessary to repay the loan when it becomes due, the KFLP could
institute foreclosure proceedings against the Company's material
intellectual property assets and the Company could be forced into
bankruptcy or liquidation.

OSI RESTAURANT: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised the corporate credit
rating on casual dining operator OSI Restaurant Partners LLC to
'B' from 'B-'. "We raised the rating on the senior secured credit
facilities to 'BB-' from 'B+' with a '1' recovery rating,
indicating our expectation for 90% to 100% recovery in the event
of a default. We raised the rating on the $550 million
subordinated notes to 'CCC+' from 'CCC' with a '6' recovery
rating, indicating our expectation for 0% to 10% recovery in the
event of a default," S&P said.

"The ratings on Tampa, Fla.-based OSI Restaurant Partners LLC
reflect Standard & Poor's expectations that recent brand
revitalization initiatives and cost savings from productivity
improvements will contribute to further strengthening of credit
measures in 2012, despite commodity cost pressure and weak
consumer spending," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Ana Lai.

"Our rating outlook on OSI is positive. We expect OSI to sustain
recent positive operating momentum, contributing to further
strengthening of credit measures. We could raise the rating if OSI
is successful in completing the IPO as proposed and uses the
proceeds of about $300 million to repay about $248 million of
subordinated notes, resulting in total debt to EBITDA declining to
below 5.0x. Although unlikely in the near term, we could lower the
rating if competitive pressure or poor execution causes a steep
drop in traffic and EBITDA drops by 12%. This could occur if sales
decline 3% and margins decline by 100 basis points," S&P said.


PACE UNIVERSITY: S&P Raises Bond SPUR From 'BB+' on Stable Demand
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has raised its underlying
rating (SPUR) on New York State Dormitory Authority's debt, issued
for Pace University, to 'BBB-', with a stable outlook, from 'BB+',
with a positive outlook.

"The rating revision incorporates our view that the university's
demand has stabilized, and financial performance and financial
management have improved," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Mary Peloquin-Dodd. "It also reflects our view of Pace's very weak
level of expendable resources, driven by a history of operating
losses on a full accrual basis and the recognition of significant
other postemployment benefit liabilities in fiscals 2010 and
2011," said Ms. Peloquin-Dodd.

Standard & Poor's also based the upgrade on its assessment of
Pace's:

* Limited revenue raising flexibility due to strong competition
   and already high level of tuition and fees; and

* High level of debt and moderately high debt service, including
   operating lease expense.

"Positive rating factors include stable enrollment levels with
significant growth in full-time undergraduates from fall 2008 to
fall 2011, which has been a key driver of the university's
improved financial performance. In addition, there has been
significant improvement in financial performance from fiscal
2008 to fiscal 2011, with expectations for positive operating
performance on a full accrual basis for fiscal 2012 as well as a
level of cash and investments that are consistent with the 'BBB'
category," S&P said.

"The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that,
during the next two years, enrollment and overall demand will
remain stable or demonstrate positive trends, and that financial
performance will be consistently breakeven or better, on a GAAP
basis. In addition, Standard & Poor's expects new debt to be
offset by liquidity growth. Standard & Poor's also believes that
expendable resources will continue to be depressed by significant
OPEB liability," S&P said.

"Credit factors that could lead to a negative outlook or rating
action include significant weakening in financial performance or a
significant debt increase. A higher rating is unlikely given the
university's current level of financial resources," S&P said.

Pace University, founded in 1906, is an independent, comprehensive
university. Originally founded in New York City, Pace has five
campuses in New York City and Westchester County.

PITT PENN: Can Employ Peckar & Abramson as Litigation Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has
authorized Pitt Penn Holding Co., Inc., and its affiliates to
employ Peckar & Abramson, P.C., as special litigation counsel.

Peckar & Abramson's role in the case originally was focused on
communications with government authorities concerning the criminal
proceedings against John Mazzuto and James Margulies, two of the
Debtors' former CEOs.  The Debtors decided to expand the firm's
role into representing the Debtors in several actions arising from
certain fraudulent conduct of certain of the Debtors' pre-petition
officers, directors and others.

As a result of the expansion of Peckar & Abramson's role, the
firm's monthly billing has likely exceeded the $15,000 per month
cap on ordinary course professionals.

Peckar & Abramson will continue to provide ordinary course
services to the Debtors as in the past.  However, all civil
litigation-related work will be subjected to the fee application
process.

PRIMUS TELECOM: Moody's Puts CFR on Review Direction Uncertain
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed the ratings of Primus
Telecommunications Group, Inc. under review with direction
uncertain following the company's announcement that it has agreed
to sell its Australian business for $200 million. The company has
not indicated its plan for the use of sale proceeds, but based on
the terms of the indenture governing the company's 10% secured
notes, Primus has considerable flexibility with the sale proceeds.
The company can repay the notes, re-invest in capital expenditures
or acquire businesses or assets as long as the net proceeds are
applied to such a use within 365 days following the deal close. It
is unclear at this time whether the proceeds will be subject to
taxes, either in the US or Australia.

  Outlook Actions:

Ratings Rationale

The Australian business generates approximately one half of
Primus's total EBITDA. In addition to the disposal of its
Australian assets, Primus has announced plans to split its
remaining Canadian assets into two businesses. One business will
be a "pure-play" data center company and the other will be a more
traditional CLEC.

If the company pays down a portion of the existing 10% notes
maturing in 2017 or acquires businesses or assets resulting in
higher EBITDA such that leverage falls below 3.0x (Moody's
adjusted), the company may have a better financial profile which
could result in an upgrade from its existing ratings. As of year-
end 2011, Primus had $235 million of the 10% notes and $2.4
million of its 13% notes outstanding.

On the other hand , if the company uses the proceeds to increase
capital expenditure or acquire businesses such that EBITDA
declines on a pro-forma basis, its operating and financial profile
may well come under significant pressure, which could have
negative implications for the rating. The remaining business could
have lower scale and weaker cash flows than the pre-sale business.
In this scenario, the remaining segments could generate negative
free cash flow until or unless the company is able to grow to
offset the EBITDA loss from sale of the Australian business.

The company's plan to separate its Canadian business would also
have implications on the rating, as these two companies could have
materially smaller scale and different credit profiles. Given the
magnitude of the structural changes, Moody's believes that the
company is likely to ultimately repay or refinance the majority of
its existing indebtedness as part of this overall restructuring
process.

The principal methodology used in rating Primus Telecommunications
was the Global Telecommunications Industry Methodology published
in December 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.

Primus is a competitive telecom provider headquartered in McLean,
VA. The company offers telecommunications, IP and data center
services to small and medium-sized enterprises, residential
customers and other telecommunications carriers and resellers in
the United States, Canada and Australia.



RADIAN GROUP: Moody's Downgrades Senior Debt Rating to 'Caa2'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Radian Group's senior
debt rating to Caa2 from Caa1. In addition, Moody's has confirmed
the Ba3 insurance financial strength (IFS) ratings of Radian
Guaranty Inc. (Radian Guaranty) and Radian Mortgage Assurance Inc.
(RMA), and the Ba1 IFS rating of Radian Asset Assurance Inc.
(Radian Asset). The outlook for all ratings is negative.

Rating Rationale -- RADIAN GROUP (Radian)

Moody's said that the downgrade of Radian's senior debt rating
reflects the holding company's constrained liquidity, the ongoing
stress at its mortgage insurance subsidiaries, and its upcoming
debt maturities. After adjusting its December 31, 2011
unrestricted cash and liquid investments for the recent tender
auction related to its 2013 debt obligations, Radian has remaining
unrestricted cash and liquid investments of approximately $350
million. Since dividends from Radian Guaranty are unlikely for the
foreseeable future given its weak regulatory capital position,
Moody's believes that the holding company may not be able to meet
its senior debt obligations, $103.9 million 2013 senior debt, $250
million 2015 senior debt, and $450 million convertible senior debt
due in 2017, and that debt holders could potentially face material
losses. Moody's views the recent Radian tender auction for $146
million of its 2013 senior debt at 90% of par a distressed
exchange given the debt's yield to maturity combined with the
company's untenable capital structure.

Rating Rationale -- RADIAN GUARANTY AND RMA

The confirmation of the Ba3 IFS ratings of Radian Guaranty and RMA
reflects: 1) their consolidated financial resources, including
dividends from Radian Asset, in excess of Moody's base case
losses, and 2) their ability to continue to write new business for
some time given recently granted regulatory and counterparty
waivers. Some states require mortgage insurers to operate below a
25 to 1 risk-in-force to capital ratio, which Moody's believes
Radian will likely breach sometime later this year. As a result,
Radian Guaranty would have had difficulty writing business, absent
such waivers. Radian Group intends to capitalize RMA, if needed,
to write business in states where it has not obtained such
waivers. New high quality business production has partially
mitigated legacy losses, which enhances Radian's chances of a
turnaround.

Rating Rationale -- RADIAN ASSET

The confirmation of the Ba1 rating of Radian Asset, Radian
Guaranty's wholly owned financial guaranty subsidiary, reflects 1)
its strong capital profile and orderly runoff, and 2) the group's
dependence on Radian Asset's resources to support Radian
Guaranty's strategic mortgage insurance business. Portfolio
amortization, recent commutations of an ABS CDO and some TruPs
CDOs contributed to reduce insured portfolio expected and stressed
losses. Radian Asset has been paying regular dividends to Radian
Guaranty since 2008 and releasing redundant contingency reserves
periodically to enhance its and Radian Guaranty's statutory
surplus.

Rating Outlook

The negative rating outlook reflects the continued uncertainty in
mortgage insurance losses, and the firm's dependence on regulatory
and counterparty forbearance to continue to write business.

Moody's cited the following factors that could lead to an upgrade
of Radian's ratings: (i) improving housing market outlook
resulting in lower insured mortgage losses (ii) injection of
capital that meaningfully improves its capital adequacy (iii)
better than expected loss developments in its financial guaranty
or mortgage insurance portfolios and (iv) more clarity about
regulatory and market drivers of future demand for mortgage
insurance.

Moody's cited the following factors that could lead to a rating
downgrade: (i) regulatory actions preventing Radian Guaranty from
writing new business or loss of eligibility status with the GSEs
(ii) greater than anticipated adverse loss developments in the
financial guaranty and mortgage insurance portfolios resulting in
less resources available at the insurance companies and (iii)
capital deficiency relative to its Ba rating threshold that
remains uncorrected.

Treatment of Wrapped Transactions

Moody's ratings on securities that are guaranteed or "wrapped" by
a financial guarantor are generally maintained at a level equal to
the higher of the following: a) the rating of the guarantor (if
rated at the investment grade level); or b) the published
underlying rating (and for structured securities, the published or
unpublished underlying rating). Moody's approach to rating wrapped
transactions is outlined in Moody's special comment entitled
"Assignment of Wrapped Ratings When Financial Guarantor Falls
Below Investment Grade" (May, 2008); and Moody's November 10, 2008
announcement entitled "Moody's Modifies Approach to Rating
Structured Finance Securities Wrapped by Financial Guarantors". As
a result of the rating action, the Moody's-rated securities that
are guaranteed or "wrapped" by Radian Asset have also been
confirmed, except those with higher published underlying ratings
(and for structured finance securities, except those with higher
published or unpublished underlying ratings). .

List of Rating Actions

The following rating was downgraded and has a negative outlook:

Radian Group Inc. - senior unsecured debt to Caa2, from Caa1.

The following ratings have been confirmed with a negative outlook:

Radian Guaranty Inc. - insurance financial strength rating at
Ba3;

Radian Mortgage Assurance Inc. - insurance financial strength
rating at Ba3;

Radian Asset Assurance Inc. - insurance financial strength
rating at Ba1.

Radian Group Inc. is a US-based holding company that owns a
mortgage insurance platform comprised of Radian Guaranty, Radian
Insurance and Radian Mortgage Assurance, and financial guaranty
insurance company Radian Asset. The group also has investments in
other financial services entities. As of December 31, 2011, Radian
Group had $6.66 billion in total assets and $1.18 billion in
shareholder's equity.

The principal methodologies used in this rating were Moody's
Global Rating Methodology for the Mortgage Insurance Industry in
February 2007 and Moody's Rating Methodology for the Financial
Guaranty Insurance Industry published in September 2006.


RESOLUTE ENERGY: S&P Assigns B Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Denver-based Resolute Energy Corp. The outlook is
stable.

"We also assigned our 'B-' issue-level rating (one notch lower
than the corporate credit rating) to Resolute's planned $250
million senior unsecured notes due 2020. We assigned this debt a
'5' recovery rating, indicating our expectation of modest (10% to
30%) recovery of principal in the event of a payment default," S&P
said.

"Proceeds will be used to pay down borrowings under the company's
credit facility ($225 million as of April 10, 2012), and to fund
2012 capex, including the recently announced $37.5 million net
acquisition of oil properties from Denbury Resources (BB/Stable/--
)," S&P said.

"The ratings on Resolute Energy reflect our assessment of the
company's 'vulnerable' business risk and 'aggressive' financial
risk," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Carin Dehne-Kiley.
"The ratings incorporate the company's small size and scale, its
limited geographic diversity, the high cost nature of its asset
base, and its position in a highly cyclical, capital-intensive and
competitive industry. The ratings also reflect the company's
meaningful exposure to oil (about 90% of proven reserves and
production), adequate liquidity, and moderate debt leverage."

"The stable outlook reflects Resolute's low-risk proven reserve
base, adequate liquidity, and the high proportion of oil in its
production mix. Near-term positive rating actions are unlikely
given the company's relatively small scale and limited geographic
diversity. We could lower the rating if Resolute's debt/EBITDAX
ratio exceeds 5.0x for a sustained period, which would most likely
occur as a result of a large debt-financed acquisition, or a major
operating problem that curtails production at the Aneth fields.
For this target to be breached in 2013, EBITDAX would have to drop
by nearly 35% compared with 2012," S&P said.


ROOMSTORE INC: Court Approves Kaplan & Frank as Local Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
RoomStore Inc. sought and obtained approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court to employ Kaplan & Frank, PLC, as its Virginia
bankruptcy counsel.

The firm will:

   A. provide the Debtor with advice and prepare all necessary
      documents regarding debt restructuring, bankruptcy and asset
      dispositions;

   B. take all necessary actions to protect and preserve the
      Debtor's estate during the pendency of the chapter 11 case,
      including the prosecution of actions by the Debtor, the
      defense of actions commenced against the Debtor,
      negotiations concerning litigation in which the Debtor are
      involved and objecting to claims filed against the estate;

   C. prepare on behalf of the Debtor, as debtors in possession,
      all necessary motions, applications, answers, orders,
      reports and papers in connection with the administration of
      the chapter 11 case;

   D. counsel the Debtor with regard to their rights and
      obligations as debtor in possession;

   E. appear in Court and to protect the interests of the Debtor
      before the Court; and

   F. perform all other legal services for the Debtor which may be
      necessary and proper in the proceedings.

The Kaplan & Frank lawyers currently expected to have primary
responsibility for providing services to the Debtors and their
current hourly rates are:

          Troy Savenko            (Of Counsel)   $295/hour
          Christopher J. Hoctor   (Partner)      $285/hour
          Leslie A. Skiba         (Associate)    $265/hour

Kaplan & Frank was first retained to represent the Debtor in
connection with a potential restructuring or chapter 11 filing in
November 2011.  Prior to the Petition Date, Kaplan & Frank
received an aggregate retainer of $22,000, paid in two
installments of $10,000 (paid on Nov. 28, 2011) and $12,000 (paid
on Dec. 9, 2011).  About $1,026 of this retainer has been applied
to prepetition services rendered and expenses incurred by Kaplan &
Frank while $15,479 of this retainer was applied to the costs,
fees and expenses associated with the filing of Debtor's chapter
11 petition. The balance, totaling $5,495, will be held in trust
for the Debtor and utilized by Kaplan & Frank as an advance
deposit for post-petition fees and expenses.

As part of the terms of its retention, Kaplan & Frank required the
Advance Deposit to be $50,000 as security of payment for attorney
fees and out-of pocket expenses to be incurred by the Debtor in
connection with its bankruptcy. Because of the Debtor's
prepetition circumstances, the Debtor committed to supplement the
Advance Deposit as necessary, but not less than $10,000 per month
beginning on Dec. 15, 2011, until the Advance Deposit held in
Kaplan & Frank's escrow account is $50,000.  The Debtor also
granted to Kaplan & Frank a security interest in all amounts held
to secure repayment of its fees and expenses as they become due.

"To the best of my knowledge, Kaplan & Frank does not hold an
interest adverse to the Debtor's estate and is a 'disinterested
person' as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code," Mr. Savenko attests.

                           About Rosetta

Located in Rehovot, Israel, Rosetta Genomics Ltd. is seeking to
develop and commercialize new diagnostic tests based on a recently
discovered group of genes known as microRNAs.  MicroRNAs are
naturally expressed, or produced, using instructions encoded in
DNA and are believed to play an important role in normal function
and in various pathologies.  The Company has established a CLIA-
certified laboratory in Philadelphia, which enables the Company to
develop, validate and commercialize its own diagnostic tests
applying its microRNA technology.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, in
Tel-Aviv, Israel, expressed substantial doubt about Rosetta
Genomics' ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred recurring operating
losses and generated negative cash flows from operating activities
in each of the three years in the period ended Dec. 31, 2011.

The Company reported a net loss after discontinued operations of
$8.83 million on $103,000 of revenues for 2011, compared with a
net loss after discontinued operations of $14.76 million on
$279,000 of revenues for 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed $2.04 million
in total assets, $2.40 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $356,000.

"We have used substantial funds to discover, develop and protect
our microRNA tests and technologies and will require substantial
additional funds to continue our operations.  Based on our current
operations, our existing funds, including the proceeds from the
January 2012 debt financing, will only be sufficient to fund
operations until late May, 2012.  We intend to seek funding
through collaborative arrangements and public or private equity
offerings and debt financings.  Additional funds may not be
available to us when needed on acceptable terms, or at all.  In
addition, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the
holdings or the rights of our existing shareholders.  For example,
if we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, further
dilution to our then-existing shareholders may result.  Debt
financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that
could limit our flexibility in conducting future business
activities.  If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis,
we may be required to significantly curtail one or more of our
research or development programs.  We also could be required to
seek funds through arrangements with collaborators or others that
may require us to relinquish rights to some of our technologies,
tests or products in development or approved tests or products
that we would otherwise pursue on our own.  Our failure to raise
capital when needed will materially harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations, and may require us to seek
protection under the bankruptcy laws of Israel and the United
States.


ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT: Charity Illegally Profited, Trustee Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
Max Stendahl at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a charitable
foundation run by former NFL quarterback Dan Marino has illegally
profited from Scott Rothstein's Ponzi scheme, according to a
lawsuit filed Friday in Florida by the bankruptcy trustee for
Rothstein's law firm.

Law360 relates that the Dan Marino Foundation Inc. received 10
checks from Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA between February 2007
and March 2008 totaling $259,000, according to the suit by trustee
Herbert Stettin. Those funds constituted fraudulent transfers and
rightly belongs to the firm's creditors, Mr. Stettin said.

                      About Rothstein Rosenfeldt

Scott Rothstein, co-founder of law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler
PA -- http://www.rra-law.com/-- has been suspected of running a
$1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.  U.S. authorities claimed in a civil
forfeiture lawsuit filed November 9, 2009, that Mr. Rothstein, the
firm's former chief executive officer, sold investments in non-
existent legal settlements.  Mr. Rothstein pleaded guilty to five
counts of conspiracy and wire fraud on January 27, 2010.

Creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler signed a petition sending
the Florida law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who says she
lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran Development,
Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and trade
creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm, which
said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors alleged being owed money
invested in lawsuit settlements.

Herbert M. Stettin, the state-court appointed receiver for
Rothstein Rosenfeldt, was officially carried over as the
Chapter 11 trustee in the involuntary bankruptcy case.

On June 10, 2010, Mr. Rothstein was sentenced to 50 years in
prison.


SAGECREST II: Melville Capital Brokers Sale of Antietam Funding
---------------------------------------------------------------
Melville Capital, LLC, has successfully advised on the sale of
Antietam Funding's remaining life insurance portfolio that closed
March 28, 2012.

The parent owner of Antietam is bankrupt hedge fund SageCrest II
and through controlled entities like Antietam, purchased or
financed life insurance policies.  Melville was retained as the

Stark and its Managing Director Doug Himmel.  Melville is the
country's premier Life Settlement Broker practicing in the area of
restructuring and insolvency with headquarters in New York and
offices in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Charleston, SC.

Stark commented, "SageCrest is a complicated bankruptcy involving
many entities and high-profile bank creditors.  It was imperative
that these policies, substantially the last remaining assets in
the bankruptcy, be sold expeditiously but also at true market
pricing and I believe we hit this mark. The sale could not have
closed without the contribution of the entire working group of
advisors and attorneys."

SINO-FOREST CORP: Executives Resign; Monitor to Have More Power
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sino-Forest Corporation disclosed its intention to apply to the
court, in the application commenced by the Company under the
Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act on March 30, 2012, to enhance
the powers of the court-appointed Monitor, FTI Consulting Canada
Inc.

Sino-Forest has terminated the employment of Alfred Hung, Vice
President Corporate Planning and Banking of the Company, George
Ho, Vice President Finance of the Company and Simon Yeung, Vice
President Operations of Sino-Panel (Asia) Inc., a subsidiary of
the Company.  The Company also announced that Albert Ip, who
served as Senior Vice President Development and Operations North
East and South West China, prior to his recent resignation, will
not serve as a consultant to the Company.

Sino-Forest also said that Allen Chan, the Founding Chairman
Emeritus of the Company, has voluntarily resigned from the Company
and that David Horsley has resigned as the Company's Chief
Financial Officer but will continue as an employee of the Company,
to assist with the Company's restructuring efforts.

In late August 2011, Messrs. Hung, Ho and Yeung were placed on
administrative leave by the Company, and Mr. Ip was requested to
act solely on the instructions of W. Judson Martin, the Vice
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  These
actions were taken after certain information was uncovered during
the course of the review being undertaken by the Independent
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, established in
response to the allegations made in a "report" prepared by Muddy
Waters LLC that was publicly disclosed on June 2, 2011, and
immediately before the Ontario Securities Commission issued a
temporary cease trade order on Aug. 26, 2011.

On Aug. 28, 2011, the Company announced that Mr. Chan had
voluntarily resigned as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
Director but would continue with the Company as Founding Chairman
Emeritus, a non-executive position.

On March 30, 2012, Mr. Ip resigned from the Company for health
reasons but had agreed to serve as a consultant to Sino-Forest on
a part-time basis.

The information identified in August 2011, did not raise conduct
issues in relation to Mr. Horsley. For this reason, no
consideration was given to taking employment action against him at
that time.

On April 9, 2012, the Company announced that it had received an
"Enforcement Notice" on April 5, 2012 from Staff of the Ontario
Securities Commission.  The Company also announced that it had
learned that Enforcement Notices also were received that day by
Messrs. Chan, Ip, Hung, Ho, Yeung and Horsley.  As previously
disclosed, the Enforcement Notice received by Sino-Forest alleges
conduct contrary to ss. 122 and 126.1 of the Ontario Securities
Act and raises conduct issues in relation to the Company and in
relation to the individuals who also received Enforcement Notices.
The Company intends to respond to the Enforcement Notice that it
received.

Following review of the Enforcement Notice directed at the
Company, further discussions with Staff of the Commission,
together with examination of issues identified in the Enforcement
Notice received by the Company, the Board of Directors of the
Company determined that it was in the best interests of Sino-
Forest to terminate the employment of Messrs. Hung, Ho and Yeung
and not to enter into a consulting arrangement with Mr. Ip.

Following receipt of the Enforcement Notice, Mr. Chan informed the
Board of Directors that he wished to resign as Founding Chairman
Emeritus and as an employee of the Company.  Mr. Chan has
indicated that he remains available to assist with efforts to
allow the Company's stakeholders to realize value in relation to
assets located in the People's Republic of China.

The Board of Directors believes that the nature of the allegations
made against Mr. Horsley in the Enforcement Notice differ
substantially from those directed at the other individuals who
received Enforcement Notices on April 5, 2012.  In these
circumstances the Board, having consulted with the Monitor, has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to
retain Mr. Horsley's services while allowing Mr. Horsley to step
down from his role as Chief Financial Officer.

SMF ENERGY: Fuel Distributor Goes Bankrupt After Funding Dried Up
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SMF Energy Corp., a provider of fuel and lubricants for the
trucking, manufacturing and construction industries, filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 12-19084) on
April 15 in its hometown in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after the
lender Wells Fargo Bank NA shut off access to a revolving credit
loan.

SMF disclosed $37.0 million in assets and $25.17 million in
liabilities as of Dec. 31, 2011.

Subsidiaries H & W Petroleum Company, Inc., SMF Services, Inc.,
and Streicher Realty, Inc., also filed for Chapter 11 protection.

On April 13, 2012, the Company received a declaration from Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A., the Debtors' principal lender, of various events
of default, as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement dated
Sept. 26, 2002.  The Lender also purported to revoke the authority
of the Company to access its own collections of accounts
receivable and declared the Lender's intention not to make any
further revolving Loans to the Company under the Loan Agreement.
Without considering any penalties or additional charges resulting
from the Lender's declaration of the Events of Default, the
current balance owed to the Lender under the Loan Agreement is
approximately $11.2 million, consisting of around $8 million in
revolving loans, a $2.2 million unpaid balance of a Term Loan, and
a $1.0 million mortgage loan.

SMF Energy said the extent of their ability to continue operating
their businesses in the Chapter 11 cases is dependent on the
willingness of Wells Fargo, which asserts a security interest in
substantially all of the Companies' assets, to consent to or
support the Debtors' use of cash collateral during the bankruptcy
cases.  SMF expects Wells Fargo will consent to or support the use
of cash collateral to continue to operate only those portions of
the Debtors' business that have a discernible value as an ongoing
enterprise.  As a result, the Company expects that it will be
required to promptly commence the liquidation of the assets of
those portions of the Companies' business that are not believed to
have a going concern value.

The Company announced on March 16, 2012, it expected a substantial
reduction in sales revenue and earnings for the quarter ended
March 31, 2012, and future periods, and that it expected to report
a loss for the quarters ending March 31 and June 30, 2012, on
account of necessary changes that had been made to its pricing
structure.  The Company also announced on March 16 that it was
seeking to mitigate the adverse impact on revenue and earnings by
instituting significant expense reductions and revenue enhancement
measures but stated that it did not believe that those measures
would be sufficient to offset the revenue and earnings downturn in
the foreseeable future.  The Company further stated it was
considering an overhaul of its business model to permit it to
drastically reduce its back office and interest expense to better
match the Company's total expenses with its revenues.

On March 22, 2012, the Company appointed Soneet Kapila of Kapila &
Company, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, as its Chief Restructuring
Officer to direct the Company's efforts to increase revenues and
reduce expenses required by the decision to change the Company's
pricing structure.  The Company also indicated it was actively
pursuing strategic alternatives, including potential business
combinations and the development of new business partnerships.

To date, the Company's vigorous efforts to reduce operating losses
by increasing revenue and decreasing expenses have been
unsuccessful.  Competitive pressures have prevented the Company
from increasing prices and, despite layoffs and other cost cutting
measures, expenses have not been reduced in an amount sufficient
to offset the decreased revenue since the change in pricing
structure.  The Company does, however, intend to continue to
pursue strategic alternatives after the Voluntary Petitions for
those portions of the Companies' business that have a discernible
value as an ongoing enterprise.

The Company has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that provides additional
details, including but not limited to the Lender's April 13 letter
declaring a default under the Loan Agreement.

ST CATHERINE MEDICAL: CMS Releases Corrective Action Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Margaret Dick Tocknell, writing for for HealthLeaders Media,
reports that Saint Catherine Medical Center owes 76 vendors an
estimated $2.3 million according to a document released by the
Philadelphia office of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services.

The CMS document released to HealthLeaders Media includes the
findings of the original survey as well as Saint Catherine's
corrective action plan to address deficiencies.  The report notes
that in an April 3 letter to Merlyn Knapp, the medical center's
CEO, CMS officials said the medical center's Medicare agreement
"will be terminated by April 19 if the immediate jeopardy has not
been removed."

The completion date stated in the CAP for resolving each
deficiency, however, is May 10, the report adds.

A copy of the draft of corrective action plan for Saint
Catherine's is available at:

     http://content.hcpro.com/pdf/content/278922.pdf

HealthLeaders Media relates the document notes that syringes and
saline solutions are in short supply and that preventive
maintenance is behind schedule for critical pieces of medical
equipment such as an EKG, ventilators, and a defibrillator.  The
debts, supply shortages, and equipment problems were discovered
during a complaint survey conducted at the Ashland, Pa. facility
on March 27 on behalf of CMS by the Pennsylvania Department of
Health.  According to state and federal officials the deficiencies
and violations placed patient health and safety in immediate
jeopardy.

HealthLeaders Media says the state has placed a ban on new
admissions to Saint Catherine, as well as surgical services,
emergency, and outpatient procedures at the 67-bed hospital.
Although the medical center is still licensed, there are no
patients at the facility.

Saint Catherine Hospital of Pennsylvania, LLC, dba Saint Catherine
Medical Center of Fountain Springs filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. M.D. Pa. Case No. 12-02073) on April 9, 2012.  The Debtor
estimated under $50,000 in assets and liabilities.  The Debtor is
represented by John H. Doran, Esq., at Doran & Doran, P.C.


STANDARD PACIFIC: Fitch Affirms 'B-' Issuer Default Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed its ratings for Standard Pacific Corp.
(NYSE: SPF), including the company's Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
at 'B-'.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The rating and Outlook for SPF is influenced by the company's
execution of its business model, relatively aggressive land
acquisition strategy, geographic and product line diversity and
healthy liquidity position.  While Fitch expects somewhat better
prospects for the housing industry this year, there are still
challenges facing the housing market, which are likely to
meaningfully moderate the early stages of this recovery.
Nevertheless, SPF has the financial flexibility to navigate
through the still difficult market conditions and continue to
invest in land opportunities to fuel growth in the coming years.

SPF is focused on growing its operations by investing in new
communities, particularly in land-constrained markets.  Following
the significant reduction of its land supply during the 2006 -2009
periods, SPF began to increase its land holdings during 2010 and
2011.  At Dec. 31, 2011, the company had 26,444 lots controlled, a
12.3% increase over the previous year and an almost 38% growth
over year-end 2009 land holdings.  Its owned and optioned lot
positions increased 13.5% and 16.4% as compared to 2010,
respectively, while its joint venture lot position fell 15.3%
year-over-year.  Based on the latest twelve month closings, SPF
controlled 10.5 years of land and owned roughly 7.9 years of land.

SPF increased its average community count by 17% to 152 active
communities during 2011 as compared to 2010.  The company spent
roughly $437 million on land ($304 million) and development ($133
million) during 2011 compared to $336 million in 2010.  In 2012,
management expects roughly $400 - 500 million in total land spend,
including an estimated $150 million of land development costs.
Fitch is comfortable with this strategy given the company's
healthy liquidity position, well-laddered debt maturity schedule
and management's demonstrated ability to manage its spending.
While land and development spending will remain a priority, Fitch
expects that the company will adhere to its strict underwriting
guidelines and continue to maintain adequate liquidity.

The company ended 2011 with $406.8 million of unrestricted cash
and $190.5 million of availability under its unsecured revolving
credit facility.  Fitch expects the company will be cash flow
negative by about $150 million during 2012 and its cash position
will decline to around $200 million at year-end 2012 as the
company continues to invest in land and development.
Additionally, the company has approximately $50 million of debt
coming due this year.  Fitch expects SPF will maintain liquidity
of approximately $400 million from a combination of cash and
revolver availability.

The company continues to have relatively heavy exposure in the
state of California, generating over 50% of its revenues and
holding more than 60% of the dollar value of its real estate
inventory in this state.  SPF also has operations in major
metropolitan markets in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Florida
and the Carolinas.  The company has a substantial presence and
ranks in the top 10 in most of the markets where it operates.

SPF constructs homes within a wide range of prices and sizes, with
an emphasis on move-up buyers.  During 2011, management estimates
that 73% of its deliveries were directed to the move-up/luxury
market, while 27% were to entry-level buyers.  By comparison, 67%
of its deliveries during 2010 were to move-up/luxury buyers, while
33% were directed to the entry-level market.

The company reported higher year-over-year home deliveries during
the second half of 2011, and homebuilding revenues grew 28%
compared to the second half of 2010.  SPF also reported
improvement in net orders in each of the last three quarters of
2011, leading to a 64.5% increase in homes in backlog at year-end
2011 compared with year-end 2010.  The significant increase in
backlog, combined with the company's strategy to grow subdivision
count by approximately 6% this year, should result in moderately
higher deliveries in 2012 compared with 2011.

Fitch's housing forecasts for 2012 have been raised since the
beginning of the year, but still assume a modest rise off a very
low bottom.  In a slowly growing economy with slightly muted
distressed home sales competition, less competitive rental cost
alternatives, and new home inventories at historically low levels,
single-family housing starts should improve about 10%, while new
home sales increase approximately 8% and existing home sales grow
4%.

Future ratings and Outlooks will be influenced by broad housing
market trends as well as company specific activity, such as trends
in land and development spending, general inventory levels,
speculative inventory activity (including the impact of high
cancellation rates on such activity), gross and net new order
activity, debt levels, cash position and especially free cash flow
trends and uses.  Negative rating actions could occur if the
anticipated recovery in housing does not materialize and the
company prematurely steps up its land /development spending,
leading to consistent and significant negative quarterly cash flow
from operations and diminished liquidity position.  Positive
rating actions could be considered if the recovery in housing is
significantly better than Fitch's current outlook and the company
continues to maintain a healthy liquidity position.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings for SPF with a Stable
Outlook:

  -- IDR at 'B-';
  -- Senior unsecured notes at 'B-/RR4';
  -- Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility at 'B-/RR4';
  -- Senior subordinated debt at 'CC/RR6'.

Fitch has also assigned a 'B-/RR4' rating to the company's $210
million unsecured revolving credit facility.

The 'RR4' Recovery Rating (RR) on the company's unsecured debt
indicates average recovery prospects for holders of these debt
issues.  Standard Pacific's exposure to claims made pursuant to
performance bonds and joint venture debt and the possibility that
part of these contingent liabilities would have a claim against
the company's assets were considered in determining the recovery
for the unsecured debt holders.  The 'RR6' on Standard Pacific's
senior subordinated notes indicate poor recovery prospects in a
default scenario. Fitch applied a liquidation value analysis for
these RRs.


STARLIGHT INVESTMENTS: UK Liquidators File Chapter 15 Petition
--------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidators of Starlight Investments Limited filed a Chapter 15
petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-11566) in Manhattan on
April 16, 2012.

London, England-based Starlight ceased operations in 2008 when
receivers of the Debtor were appointed by lender Norwich Union
Mortgage Finance Limited.  The Debtor was placed into creditors'
voluntary liquidation in April 2009.

Melvyn J. Carter, John A.G. Alexander and Robin H. Davis, of
Carter Backer Winter LLP, in their capacity as joint liquidators,
are seeking the U.S. Court's recognition of the creditors'
voluntary liquidation of the Debtor in the United Kingdom as a
foreign main proceeding.  In the alternative, if the U.K.
proceeding is not eligible, the petitioners seek recognition of
the proceeding as foreign non-main proceeding.

The Joint Liquidators seek approval of the Chapter 15 Petition and
recognition of the UK Proceeding so that they may freely sell
shares or exercise warrants held by the Debtor in both Modigene,
Inc. and WaferGen Bio-systems, Inc.  Specifically, the Debtor owns
200,000 shares of Modigene common stock, a warrant to purchase
50,000 shares of Modigene common stock, 200,000 shares of WaferGen
common stock and a warrant to purchase 60,000 share of WaferGen
common stock.  Shares of Modigene trade publicly on the American
Stock Exchange and shares of WaferGen trade publicly on the Over-
the-Counter Bulletin Board.  Based on current market data, the
Stock is worth in aggregate approximately $1,000,000 subject to
fluctuations in the volatile financial markets.

Timothy W. Walsh, Esq., at DLA Piper LLP (US), in New York, serves
as counsel of the foreign representative.

The Debtor is estimated to have assets of $100 million to $500
million and debts of $500 million to $1 billion.

STOCKTON, CA: Can Suspend Police Accrued Sick Payouts, Judge Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that Stockton, the central
California city trying to avert bankruptcy, can continue
suspending accrued vacation and sick time payouts for its retiring
and departing police officers, a state judge ruled on Friday.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 14, 2012,
Stockton, California, was sued by the indenture trustee after
failing to make a payment of about $780,000 due Feb. 25 on $32.8
million in parking garage revenue bonds. The city council voted in
February to default on about $2 million in bond payments as a
prelude under state law for conducting workout negotiations with
bondholders.

TEEKAY CORP: Moody's Says Tanker Sale Credit Negative
-----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said the planned sale of thirteen
conventional tankers by Teekay Corporation ("Teekay" or "Parent")
to its subsidiary Teekay Tankers, Ltd. ("TNK", not rated) is
credit negative for Teekay because structural subordination of the
$450 million of Teekay's 8.5% unsecured notes due 2020 ("Notes",
rated B2) will increase. The companies have valued the transaction
at $455 million, which exceeds by about 10% Moody's estimate of
the current charter-free market value of the ships. Teekay will
not receive any cash, but will transfer $430 million of funded
debt to TNK and receive newly-issued Class A shares of TNK valued
at $25 million. The companies expect the transaction to close on
or before June 30, 2012.

Teekay Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation headquartered
in Hamilton, Bermuda, having its main operating office in
Vancouver, Canada, operates a fleet of 150 owned, chartered-in or
managed crude, refined products, LNG, LPG and FPSO vessels,
including 11 newbuildings on order. Moody's ratings analysis is
based on the company's consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated results include those of three publicly-listed
subsidiaries: Teekay LNG Partners L.P., Teekay Offshore Partners
L.P. and Teekay Tankers Ltd. as well as from its owned fleet.
Teekay controls the General Partner of the partnerships and also
retains voting control of TNK. The first two are master limited
partnerships. Each is required to distribute (or dividend) to
unitholders (or equityholders) substantially all of its
distributable cash flow, net of stipulated reserves. Moody's
assumes that, while a contractual obligor of only approximately
$600 million of its daughters' debt obligations, Teekay would
provide financial support to any of its daughters during an event
of stress at one or more of these companies.


TELETOUCH COMMUNICATIONS: Incurs $3MM Net Loss in Feb. 29 Quarter

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed $1.98 million
in total assets, $7.48 million in total liabilities and a $5.51
million total stockholders' deficit.

For 2011, Sherb & Co., LLP, in New York, expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred recurring
operating losses and will have to obtain additional financing to
sustain operations.

TRIMURTI INVESTMENTS: Files for Chapter 11 in Orlando
-----------------------------------------------------
Trimurti Investments, Inc., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
M.D. Fla. Case No. 12-05071) on April 17, 2012 in its hometown in
Orlando, Florida.

Since its inception in 2005, the Debtor has been in the business
of acquiring, developing and holding commercial real property
located in Jacksonville, Orlando and Apopka.  The Debtor has
acquired and currently holds nine commercial properties, five of
which are currently leased to long-term tenants.  Pragatiben
Patel, who resides in the United Kingdom, owns 100% of the Debtor.

The Debtor estimates the aggregate value of all of its properties
is $12.95 million.

The Debtor has $18.8 million of secured debt:

  Secured Lender                 Outstanding Debt Amount
  --------------                 -----------------------
  Fifth Third                              $8,200,000
  BankFirst (Apopka property)              $2,219,434
  BankFirst (Jacksonville property)          $718,131
  Commerce National Bank                     $764,342
  PNC                                        $590,527
  IBB                                      $4,600,000
  Florida Bank                             $1,746,656

The Debtor has $150,000 in non-insider unsecured debt, comprised
of debt for condominium association dues, trade creditors,
maintenance costs, and attorneys' fees.

Justin M. Luna, Esq., at Latham, Shuker, Eden & Beaudine, LLP, in
Orlando, counsel to the Debtor, explains in a court filing, "The
Debtor acquired each of its properties through mortgage financing
with a number of institutional lenders before the national real
estate crash in late 2008.  As a result, nearly all of its
properties are now underwater.  As the Debtor's real estate values
have dropped, so have its rental rates.  Furthermore, the Debtor
has been unable to find suitable tenants for its vacant properties
that would enable the Debtor to service the debt associated with
the respective properties and otherwise enable the business to
cash flow.  Consequently, the rents the Debtor receives from
current tenants barely cover, or in some cases do not cover,
required debt service payments for all the Debtor's properties."

Two of the Debtor's secured creditors, BankFirst and PNC Bank,
National Association, as successor by merger to RBC Bank,
instituted mortgage foreclosure proceedings against the Debtor.
On March 12, 2012, PNC acquired a final judgment of foreclosure
against the Debtor for the Debtor's real property in Orlando,
Florida.  The judgment amount is $590,527, and the foreclosure
sale is set for May 14, 2012.  On March 20, 2012, BankFirst
acquired a Final Judgment of Foreclosure against the Debtor for
the Debtor's real property in Apopka.  The judgment amount is
$2,219,434, and the foreclosure sale is set for April 23, 2012.

Accordingly, the Debtor filed the Chapter 11 case to restructure
its secured debts to align with current property values and rental
rates, to allow the business to cash flow to pay all of its
creditors, and to prevent the two foreclosure sales from going
forward.  The Debtor believes restructuring the secured debts
through a plan of reorganization will allow it to operate on a
positive cash flow basis for the benefit of all creditors over
time.

The Debtor on the Petition Date filed various motions to use cash
collateral of the secured lenders.

TRW AUTOMOTIVE: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Pos
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
Livonia, Michigan-based automotive product producer and supplier
TRW Automotive Inc. The 'BB+' corporate credit rating, along with
all related issue-level ratings on the company's debt, was
affirmed.

"We believe that TRW's solid competitive position in the global
auto market, profitability, continuing free cash generation from
operations, modest leverage, and strong liquidity could support an
upgrade to investment grade in the year ahead if the following
uncertainties are resolved. We would need to have confidence that
the antitrust investigation continuing in Europe will not result
in a material negative use of cash or adverse shift in business
prospects for TRW. We would also need to believe that the weak
economy in Europe will not cause TRW's European business to report
losses or use cash. We would also need to believe that TRW will
maintain a moderate financial policy that balances the
requirements of shareholders with those of creditors, and the
company's 2014 maturities will need to have been refinanced," S&P
said.

"The 'BB+' rating on TRW reflects our assessment of the company's
financial risk as 'intermediate' and its business risk profile as
'fair.' The intermediate financial risk profile reflects the
company's moderate financial policy, which has led to permanent
debt reduction using discretionary cash flow. TRW's profits and
cash flow in 2011 benefited from the continuing recovery in global
auto markets, even though auto sales were mixed in its key
European market, because the company significantly cut costs
during the economic downturn that had reduced its breakeven level
of sales in North America and Europe. In 2012, we estimate that
TRW's revenues will rise only modestly. This is because we expect
European production to decline by perhaps 6% this year and for the
company's largest North American customers -- the Michigan 3
automakers -- to have flat production. The rating also reflects
the company's intentional reduction in financial risk, including
debt and pension reduction in 2011, which we believe will better
position it to mitigate future volatility in the highly cyclical
and competitive auto industry," S&P said.

"At the current rating, we believe TRW can sustain adjusted
leverage of 2.0x or less during the next year, funds from
operations (FFO) to total debt of 40% or better, and at least $200
million in free cash flow per year, even if North American and
European auto demand does not improve substantially. As of Dec.
31, 2011, leverage stood at 1.3x and FFO to total debt was 71%.
Free cash flow from operations totaled $537 million," S&P said.

"We believe the company's low breakeven point in all of its
regional markets, achieved through restructuring beginning in the
recession, will allow it to maintain EBITDA margins of about 10%
(by our calculation) and cash generating capabilities. Still, we
expect some costs could rise over time, such as volatile commodity
costs, and we note the company expects its 2012 and 2013 margins
to remain under pressure as it spends to complete an ongoing
multi-facility investment in China. However, we expect TRW to
retain a focus on cost control and flexibility, enabling it to
generate free cash flow that we estimate can reach $250 million in
2012, after capital spending and cash pension and other
postemployment benefit funding. Our rating reflects our belief
that the company will not use a material amount of surplus cash
for shareholder dividends or stock repurchases until the European
economy has stabilized--and even then, that it will maintain
strong liquidity and acceptable credit metrics," S&P said.

"TRW manufactures active and passive auto safety products (61% and
22% of 2011 revenues, respectively) and is a major Tier 1 supplier
to automakers in the global light-vehicle market. TRW derives the
balance of its revenues from electronics (5%) and other auto
components (12%). In our opinion, the company has demonstrated its
ability to compete in difficult markets as a supplier to
automakers that require global capabilities, scalability, product
innovation, and solid financial health from their Tier 1
suppliers. We do not expect TRW's business focus or customer
exposure to change in any material way in the next two years,
although automaker diversity should increase over time as the
company wins new business with its non-dominant customers," S&P
said.


TURKPOWER CORP: Delays Form 10-Q for Feb. 29 Quarter
----------------------------------------------------
TurkPower Corporation was unable to compile the necessary
financial information required to complete the review of its
filing of its quarterly report for the period ended Feb. 29, 2012,
without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company expects to
file within the extension period.

                    About TurkPower Corporation

New York-based TurkPower Corporation (formerly Global Ink Supply
Co.) was incorporated on Nov. 4, 2004, in Delaware.  On May 11,
2010, Global Ink Supply Co. changed its name to TurkPower
Corporation.

On Dec. 23, 2009, the Company entered into the consulting and
service operations business, offering domestic and international
clients consulting services.  The Company acts as a full-service
operator for wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal energy parks in
Turkey.  The Company also generates revenue by entering into
agreements with other entities to provide consulting services to
clients in the energy market.

The Company reported a net loss of $5.86 million on $64,308 of
revenue for the year ended May 31, 2011, compared with a net loss
of $511,149 on $215,050 of revenue 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.

For fiscal 2011, MaloneBailey LLP, in Houston, Texas, noted that
the Company has incurred losses from operations and has a working
capital deficit as of May 31, 2011, which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.


UNIVERSAL BIOENERGY: Incurs $2.1 Million Net Loss in 2011
---------------------------------------------------------
Universal Bioenergy, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a
net loss of $2.11 million on $71.74 million of revenue in 2011,
compared with a net loss of $2 million on $41.32 million of
revenue in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed $11.21
million in total assets, $10.91 million in total liabilities and
$295,890 in total stockholders' equity.

For 2011, Bongiovanni & Associates, CPA'S, in Cornelius, North
Carolina, noted that the Company has suffered recurring operating
losses, has an accumulated deficit, has negative working capital,
and has yet to generate an internal cash flow that raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

VIASYSTEMS INC: Moody's Affirms 'B2' CFR; Outlook Positive
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B2 ratings of Viasystems,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Viasystems Group, Inc., on the
Corporate Family (CFR), Probability of Default (PDR) and Senior
Secured Notes due 2015 (the "2015 Notes"). Moody's also assigned a
B2 rating to the proposed $550 million senior secured notes, which
will refinance the 2015 Notes and fund the acquisition of DDi
Corp. for $282 million in cash. The rating outlook is positive.

Ratings Rationale

The affirmation of the B2 CFR reflects Moody's expectation that
Viasystems' operating performance and good execution of its
high/mid-volume business strategy will be further enhanced by the
pending acquisition of DDi, a North American quick-turn printed
circuit board (PCB) fabricator with a focus on high mix/low-volume
prototyping applications. Viasystems will add about $330 million
of debt to the capital structure. However, with existing total
debt to EBITDA of 1.8x (Moody's adjusted as of December 2011),
Viasystems has enough capacity at the B2 rating level to absorb
incremental debt. Moody's estimates Viasystems' total debt to
EBITDA will increase to around 3.3x (Moody's adjusted pro forma to
include DDi's EBITDA, but exclude synergies and one-time costs)
through the end of 2012. This still compares favorably to median
leverage that is two turns higher at 5.4x for B2-rated cross
industry peers.

Following the DDi purchase, Moody's believes Viasystems will have
an enhanced business profile with reduced earnings volatility that
compensates for higher leverage. Moody's anticipates DDi will help
Viasystems increase scale, reduce customer concentration and
improve product and end market diversity. With DDi, Viasystems
will more than double its revenue in the military/aerospace
segment (to 10% of revenue from 4%) and reduce exposure to the
more volatile telecommunications and automotive markets (to 48% of
revenue from 56%). Additional benefits include an expanded
geographic footprint with increased North American manufacturing
capacity in the higher margin multi-layer PCB quick-turn business,
$10 million of expected cost synergies and a more comprehensive
set of technologies and engineering capabilities to service a
broader range of customers. This should enable Viasystems to
compete more effectively, expand into new markets and produce
additional share gains.

These positive attributes are offset by Viasystems' still high
customer concentration (top ten clients will represent about 48%
of pro forma combined revenue), mid single-digit operating margins
and exposure to commodity prices, rising wages in China and
volatile end markets. Further, the rating captures the cyclical
nature of the PCB and electronics manufacturing services (EMS)
industries, resulting in limited demand and pricing visibility.
The rating also recognizes Viasystems' sizable working capital and
capital expenditure requirements during periods of rising customer
demand and strong revenue growth, which can result in episodes of
negative free cash flow.

Viasystems maintains adequate liquidity supported by cash balances
of $71 million at December 2011 ($82 million pro forma for the
combination with DDi). Due principally to a multi-year PCB
capacity expansion project and the need to transfer production to
new facilities, Moody's expects negative free cash flow of $30 to
$50 million in 2012, following $33 million of negative free cash
flow in 2011. Viasystems has access to approximately $90 million
under the combination of its $75 million ABL credit facility and
supplemented by two China-based Renminbi-denominated credit
facilities that can also fund borrowings in U.S dollars.

The positive rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
existing client relationships will remain relatively steady and
Viasystems' capacity expansion investments will lead to strong
volume growth from existing and new customers, drive adjusted
operating margins to the 6% to 8% range (excludes one-time costs)
and produce positive free cash flow in 2013.

Ratings could be upgraded to the extent: (i) Viasystems were to
demonstrate sustained improvement in operating margins as a result
of benefits derived from the DDi acquisition; and (ii) higher
capex investments were expected to result in positive free cash
flow to total adjusted debt sustained in the range of 4% to 8%.
Ratings could be downgraded if loss of customers/market share or
pricing pressures due to increasing competition or a weak economic
environment led to margin erosion and impaired interest coverage,
negative free cash flow lasting more than four consecutive
quarters and leverage sustained above 4.5x total adjusted debt to
EBITDA.

Ratings Affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating at B2

Probability of Default Rating at B2

$220 Million 12% Senior Secured Notes due January 2015 --
B2 (LGD-3, 49%)

Rating Assigned:

$550 Million Senior Secured Notes due 2019 -- B2 (LGD-3, 49%)

The assigned rating is subject to review of final documentation
and no material change in the terms and conditions of the
transaction as advised to Moody's. Viasystems intends to use the
proceeds from the new secured debt offering to repay the existing
2015 Notes and to finance the purchase of DDi for $282 million.
Moody's will withdraw the rating on the 2015 Notes upon their full
retirement.

The principal methodologies used in rating Viasystems were Global
Distribution and Supply Chain Services published in November 2011,
and Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Viasystems, Inc. is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Viasystems Group, Inc.  The company is a
provider of complex multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCB) and
electro-mechanical solutions.  Viasystems is a supplier to over
800 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as several
Tier-1 electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers.
Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 was $1.1
billion.


VOLT INFORMATION: Fitch Withdraws Low-B Rating on $42-Mil. Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed and subsequently withdrawn Volt
Information Sciences, Inc.'s (OTC: VISI) ratings as follows:

  -- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB';
  -- $42 million senior unsecured facility due February 2013 at
     'BB';
  -- Secured 8.2% $10 million term loan at 'BBB-'.

The Rating Outlook for all ratings is Negative.

Fitch has withdrawn Volt's ratings due to the lack of audited
financial statements.

Volt has delayed filing its financial statements with the
Securities and Exchange Commission since the second quarter of
2009 while it reviews certain contracts going back to 2002.  Volt
is continuing its review and restatement process but the company
has not provided an estimate of a completion date.

Fitch notes that in the company's limited financial reporting, the
company's staffing segment, which generates more than 85% of the
company's revenue, has shown improved operational results on a
quarterly basis over the last two years.

Volt has also reported its liquidity position on an ongoing basis.
The company had a strong liquidity position as of Jan. 29, 2012
when it had approximately $51 million of unrestricted cash and
short-term investments, as well as $70 million available on its
accounts receivable securitization program.  In addition, bank
borrowings were fully collateralized by nearly $36 million in
restricted cash.

In May 2010, the company entered a security arrangement with its
bank lenders whereby it will maintain cash collateral of 105%
against outstanding borrowings, and as long as the cash collateral
is maintained, the company will not have to comply with the
facility's financial covenants.  If not otherwise negotiated,
under certain conditions the company may seek to be released from
the cash collateral requirements.

The company has obtained agreements from accounts receivable
securitization program lenders extending the time to deliver
required audited financial statements to Sept. 15, 2012.

Fitch is cognizant that the potential restatement primarily
reflects the timing of the recognition of revenues and costs and
does not have an impact on cash.


VU1 CORP: Incurs $9.1 Million Net Loss in 2011
----------------------------------------------
Vu1 Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$9.08 million on $7,816 of revenue in 2011, compared with a net
loss of $4.62 million on $0 of revenue in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed $437,629 in
total assets, $5.09 million in total liabilities and a $4.65
million total stockholders' deficit.

For 2011, Peterson Sullivan LLP, in Seattle, Washington, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
incurred a net loss of $9,081,622, and it had negative cash flows
from operations of $5,780,066 in 2011.  In addition, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $79,581,191 at Dec. 31, 2011.

WABASH NATIONAL: Moody's Assigns 'B1' CFR/PDR; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B1 rating to Wabash
National Corporation's proposed term loan due 2019. At the same
time, Moody's assigned Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings of B1, and a Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-2.
The ratings outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the sizeable amount of
debt that the company has undertaken to fund the $360 million
acquisition of liquid tank transportation and vessel containment
equipment manufacturer Walker Group Holdings LLC. While the nearly
$500 million of total debt represents only one-third of combined
pro forma 2011 revenue, leverage relative to earnings will be
elevated due to recent soft margins. Pro forma 2011 Debt to EBITDA
is estimated to be in excess of 5 times, which is somewhat weak
for a B1-rated company. Other metrics are more supportive of the
rating, however: EBIT to Interest of almost 4 times and retained
cash flow to debt estimated at 15% are strong for this rating
category. Moody's anticipates strong growth in demand for truck
trailers and other equipment provided by Wabash and Walker over
the next few years, tracking the improving trucking freight
environment in the U.S. This is evidenced by a growing backlog for
equipment that provides revenue visibility. As such, Moody's
expects that the company will be able to lower leverage over the
next few years to levels that map more closely to the current
rating, both through improving operating profit and a modest
amount of debt repayment. Moreover, Moody's views Wabash's
acquisition of Walker as a supportive factor to the ratings, as
Walker will likely add a modest amount of diversity to Wabash's
revenue base with a more stable stream of operating income.

The highly cyclical nature of trucking equipment demand is a key
constraint on Wabash's ratings. Historically, Wabash's revenues
have been highly volatile. Although Wabash generated almost $1.2
billion in sales in 2011, it reported sales of only 30% of that
level as recently as 2009, during the last cyclical downturn.
While Moody's anticipates strong revenue growth over the near term
during the current industry upswing, Moody's also expects that
Wabash's sales would be subject to severe contraction, accompanied
by dramatic reductions in operating margins, during periods of
cyclical downturns.

The senior secured term loan is rated B1, which is the same as the
corporate family and probability of default ratings. The term loan
ranks senior to the company's proposed $150 million of convertible
unsecured notes, and equal in ranking to Wabash' $150 million ABL
facility. However, the term loan only has a second lien claim on
the key tangible assets that reside on the company's balance
sheet, accounts receivable and inventory. As such, Moody's has
ranked this class of debt behind the ABL facility in Moody's
assessment of Loss Given Default ('LGD'), which limits the upward
notching consideration for this class of debt that is provided by
the sizeable unsecured debt in the company's debt structure.
Moody's estimates that the term loan would incur substantial loss
in the event of default, as suggested by its Loss Given Default
Assessment of LGD4.

Wabash's Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-2 reflects
Moody's assessment that the company maintains a good liquidity
position. Anticipating growth in business activity over the next
12-18 months, Moody's expects that the company will be able to
generate operating cash flow well in excess of its capital
spending plan. Much of the free cash flow Wabash generates will
likely be used to repay debt, while the company is expected to
maintain cash balances in excess of $30 million. Wabash maintains
a $150 million revolving credit facility, which Moody's views as
appropriate for a company of this size. Moody's expects that the
company will be compliant with financial covenants prescribed
under its new term loan facility. However, Moody's also notes that
the covenants will become more restrictive over time, reflecting
increased profitability assumed in the company's operating plan.
This suggests that, over the longer term, Wabash could become
susceptible to diminishing room under financial covenants during a
cyclical downturn, at which point waivers or amendments to the
term loan agreement may become necessary.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectations that the
company will be able to grow its revenue base over the near term
as trucking equipment demand increases, while improving operating
margins in the 5-7% range. This should allow the company to cover
its growing working capital and capital investment requirements
over the next 1-2 years, while generating adequate free cash flow
to repay modest amount of its term loan. Ratings or their outlook
could be adjusted downward if operating margins fall below 4%, or
if free cash flow becomes substantially negative. Debt to EBITDA
in excess of 5.5 times, EBIT to Interest of less than 1.8 times,
or Retained Cash Flow to Debt of less than 10% could result in
lower ratings. In addition, any material tightness to financial
covenants prescribed under either the ABL or term loan facility,
possibly resulting from weaker than expected operating
performance, could pressure the ratings downward. Upward rating
consideration could be warranted if the company were to repay a
substantial portion of its term loan while demonstrating on-going
revenue growth at stronger operating margins. In particular, Debt
to EBITDA of less than 3.0 times or EBIT to Interest of over 4
times throughout the industry cycle could warrant a ratings
upgrade.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.22 million on $3.57 million
of net revenues for the six months ended March 2, 2012, compared
with a net loss of $996,360 on $4.40 million of net revenues for
the six months ended March 4, 2011.

                        About Wegener Corp.

Johns Creek, Ga.-based Wegener Corporation --
http://www.wegener.com/-- was formed in 1977 and is a Delaware
corporation.  The Company conducts its continuing business through
Wegener Communications, Inc. (WCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary.
WCI, a Georgia corporation, is an international provider of
digital video and audio solutions for broadcast television, radio,
telco, private and cable networks.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.46 million for the year
ended Sept. 2, 2011, compared with a net loss of $2.31 million for
the year ended Sept. 3, 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 2, 2011, showed $7.16 million
in total assets, $9.50 million in total liabilities, all current,
and a $2.34 million total capital deficit.

In its report on the Company's 2011 results, Habif, Arogeti &
Wynne, LLP, in Atlanta, Georgia, noted that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has a capital
deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy warning

In its Form 10-K for the period ended Sept. 2, 2011, the Company
said that its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
on generating sufficient new orders and revenues in the very near
term to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay the
Company's current level of operating expenses, to provide for
inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to vendors
and service providers.  No assurances may be given that the
Company will be able to achieve sufficient levels of new orders in
the near term to provide adequate levels of cash flow from
operations.  Should the Company be unable to achieve near term
profitability and generate sufficient cash flow from operations,
the Company would need to raise additional capital or obtain
additional borrowings beyond the Company's existing loan facility.
The Company currently has limited sources of capital, including
the public and private placement of equity securities and
additional debt financing.  No assurances can be given that
additional capital or borrowings would be available to allow the
Company to continue as a going concern.  If near term shippable
bookings are insufficient to provide adequate levels of near term
liquidity and any required additional capital or borrowings are
unavailable, the Company will likely be forced to enter into
federal bankruptcy proceedings.

WORLD HEALTH: Former CEO Pleas Guilty on Fraud & Tax Evasion
------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Bowling at Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that Richard E.
McDonald, the former CEO of a Wilkins medical company, has pleaded
guilty in federal court to five fraud and tax evasion charges.

According to the report, Mr. McDonald resigned as the CEO of World
Health Alternatives in 2005.  The temporary medical staffing
company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection six months
after he resigned and a rival bought its assets.  Mr. McDonald
pleaded guilty to one count each of wire fraud, securities fraud,
certifying false statements to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, payroll tax evasion and income tax evasion.

The report relates federal investigators said Mr. McDonald, who
became CEO in 2003, transferred company money to his personal
account, persuaded investors to send payments for newly issued
stock to his personal account, manipulated records to conceal
World Health's $2.3 million in unpaid payroll taxes and overstated
the amount of loans McDonald allegedly made to the company.  He
also understated the company's outstanding shares to give auditors
and investors a false picture of the company's financial health,
investigators said.

The report says, at the time of his indictment, prosecutors said
shareholders lost about $200 million.  Assistant U.S. Attorney
Shaun Sweeney said that both sides have agreed to a calculated
loss of $41 million.

The report notes U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti scheduled
McDonald's sentencing for Aug. 17.

* Moody's Sees Negative Conditions for Not-for-Profit Hospitals
---------------------------------------------------------------
With upgrades matching downgrades in the first quarter of this
year, negative credit conditions are likely to persist for US not-
for-profit hospitals, says Moody's Investors Service in its
quarterly ratings report for the sector.

Rating activity for the sector in the first quarter saw 11
upgrades and 11 downgrades for an equal ratio of 1.0 to 1.
However, the dollar amount of upgraded debt, $2.75 billion,
exceeded the dollar amount of downgraded debt, $1.44 billion, for
a ratio of 1.91 to 1, reflecting the fact that many of the
upgraded providers are larger systems with greater debt capacity.
Smaller providers are at a disadvantage relative to their larger
peers, triggering at least as many downgrades but affecting
smaller debt issuances.

"While downgrades and upgrades were on par with each other during
the first quarter, we expect downgrades to eventually outpace
upgrades by the end of the year," said Associate Analyst Carrie
Sheffield, author of the report. "This assumption reflects the
pressures facing the not-for-profit healthcare sector and the fact
that the majority of hospital ratings under review are tending
toward downgrade."

Moody's affirmed 66 ratings in the quarter, representing 75% of
all rating activity and affecting approximately $28 billion of
debt, which is consistent with the longstanding historical trend
of affirmations far exceeding rating changes.

"Upgrades in the first quarter were largely due to improved
financial performance and better balance sheet metrics as some
areas of the US show economic improvement and volumes stabilized
or showed growth," said Ms. Sheffield. "Downgrades continued in
service areas hit hardest by the recession, many of them
experiencing reduced or unfavorable reimbursements from government
and commercial payers, volume declines, and management and
governance problems."

Moody's found that rating downgrades were more pronounced than
upgrades as providers were downgraded an average of 1.55 notches
compared to upgrades averaging 1.09 notches. Three of the 11
downgrades were downgraded three notches each, indicating more
intense rating pressure in the negative direction.

"Because upgrades have been driven largely by short-term increases
in government payments through state provider tax programs and
savings achieved by mergers or affiliation synergies, it is clear
there are still fundamental weaknesses in the sector that are
likely to persist over the longer-term,"
Ms. Sheffield said.

As of March 31, five ratings were under review, four for possible
downgrade and one for possible upgrade. The amount of debt on
review for downgrade, $604 million, is far greater than the debt
on review for upgrade, $45 million.

                            *********

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.
