78 FIRST: Taps Philip Keith to Prosecute MS Mission Claims
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California
authorized 78 First Street, LLC, to employ Philip Keith as
litigation counsel.

The Debtor said it requires experienced counsel to prosecute
claims and counterclaims against MS Mission Holdings, LLC, and its
predecessor-in-interest, CapitalSource Finance LLC.  Specifically,
the claims or counterclaims will be made against MS Mission
Holdings as the successor in interest to CapSource and contend
that MS Mission Holdings is not a holder in due course.

The Debtor will allege claims or counterclaims based upon breach
of contract by CapSource with respect to the authorization to the
Debtor to obtain junior financing and grant a security interest
junior to CapSource's lien, and CapSource's refusal to allow the
junior financing to proceed under the agreed terms.

The Debtor will assert claims or counterclaims based upon fraud
for intentional misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment of
material facts by CapSource of its intent not to allow the Debtor
to obtain secondary financing despite CapSource's representations
to the contrary.  These representations and concealments were made
to induce the Debtor to reply on them and the Debtor did so rely.
The promises to allow secondary financing were made without any
intent to perform by CapSource.  The Debtor obtained secondary
financing commitments from third parties which were made
unavailable due to CapSource's refusal to timely consent to
secondary financing.

Additional claims or counterclaims based upon equitable estoppel;
promissory estoppel; estopped by conduct; and equitable
subordination of MS Mission Holdings' claim may be asserted.

The Debtor assured the Court that Mr. Keith has no connection with
the Debtor, nor its known employees, creditors, attorneys or
accountants, the United States Trustee, or any person employed
with the Office of the United States Trustee, and is a
"disinterested person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

                       About 78 First Street

Oakland, California-based 78 First Street, LLC, and various
affiliates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Case No.
11-70224) on Sept. 23, 2011.

Debtor-affiliates that simultaneously sought Chapter 11 protection
are 88 First Street LLC and 518 Mission LLC (Case Nos. 11-70228
and 11-70229) and First/Jessie LLC, JP Capital LLC, Peninsula
Towers LLC, and Sixty-Two First Street LLC (Case Nos. 11-70231 to
11-70234).

Judge Roger L. Efremsky oversees the case, taking over from Judge
Edward D. Jellen.  Iain A. Macdonald, Esq., at MacDonald and
Associates, serves as the Debtors' counsel.  78 First Street
estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and debts.  The
petition was signed by Graham Seel, SVP of CMR Capital, LLC,
manager.


78 FIRST: Appoints Colliers International as Appraiser
------------------------------------------------------
78 First Street, LLC, and various affiliates ask permission from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California
to employ Colliers Parrish International, Inc., as appraiser.

Colliers International estimates that it will require at least 45
days to complete the appraisal.

Colliers International does not hold a prepetition claim against
any of the Debtors.  Although First Street Holdings NV, LLC
scheduled Colliers International with an unsecured claim of
$3,000, this is from an old invoice and the Debtor does not owe
Colliers International any amount on account of the invoice.

Colliers International has previously appraised the Debtors'
assets.  In addition, Colliers International has provided
appraisals for other assets ultimately managed by David Choo, a
principal of the Debtors.

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

The Debtors understand that their obligation to pay fees and costs
is subject to the Guidelines for Compensation and Expense
Reimbursement of Professionals and Trustees, promulgated by the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
California, and payment of such fees and costs are subject to
prior court approval.

                        http://is.gd/0uQqW3

On Nov. 3, 2011, Adino Energy purchased all unencumbered assets of
AOS 1A, LP and AOS 1-B, LP, limited partnerships managed by Ashton
Oilfield Services, Inc.  The consideration for this purchase was
100,000 shares of Adino's Class "B" Preferred Stock Series 1, as
follows: 95,534 shares to AOS 1A, and 4,466 shares to AOS 1-B.
The Preferred Stock will be convertible into common shares at AOS
1A or AOS 1-B's option at any time after six months, provided that
(a) no conversion may be made during the first six months, (b)
after the first six months, only 25% of the Preferred Stock may be
converted to common stock, and (c) each month thereafter, only up
to 12.5% of the Preferred Stock may be converted to common stock.
The Preferred Stock will have other terms as determined by Adino's
Board of Directors.  The number of shares of Preferred Stock was
chosen to conform to the agreed upon value of $1,500,000 for the
assets.

On Nov. 7, 2011 Adino amended its articles of incorporation in
order to change the designation of its Class B Preferred Stock
Series 1.  The amendment to the articles of incorporation is as
follows:

   (a) The number of authorized shares of Class B Preferred Stock
       Series 1 is 666,680 shares with a par value of $0.001 per
       share.

   (b) Beginning on the date that is six months from the date of
       issuance of the Class B Preferred Stock Series 1, any
       holder of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 may convert up
       to 25% of such stockholder's initial holdings of Class B
       Preferred Stock Series 1 into fully paid and non assessable
       shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of 100
       shares of common stock per share of Class B Preferred Stock
       Series 1.  Every month thereafter, any holder of Class B
       Preferred Stock Series 1 may convert up to 12.5% of such
       stockholder's initial holdings of Class B Preferred Stock
       Series 1 into fully paid and non assessable shares of
       common stock of the Company at the rate of 100 shares of
       common stock per share of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1.

   (c) Conversion of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 may be
       effected by giving to the Secretary of the Company written
       notice of conversion, accompanied by the surrender of the
       certificates of the stock to be converted, duly endorsed,
       along with any other information or documents reasonably
       requested by the Secretary to effect the conversion.

   (d) The shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 shall not
       have any voting rights.

   (e) The preferential amount payable with respect to shares of
       Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 in the event of voluntary
       or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up will
       be an amount equal to $15.00 per share.

On or about Oct. 12, 2011, Adino Energy Corporation signed a
letter of intent to purchase all of the assets of Ashton Oilfield
Services, AOS 1A, and AOS 1-B . The purchase price is $6,000,000
payable in Adino's preferred stock with a conversion price of
$0.15 per share of Adino's common stock.  The parties agreed that
partial closing of the purchase would occur once the sellers
received clear title to the assets subject to the agreement.  The

rating to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  "The downgrade follows S&P's ongoing
concern on operating performance, including S&P's expectation for
very weak credit metrics for 2009, weak liquidity relative to
interest payments and operating requirements in 2010, and
integration concerns related to the large $72 million acquisition
-- with a $20 million cash component -- of AGY Hong Kong Ltd.,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Paul Kurias.

$48.22 million in total assets, $3.78 million in total
liabilities, and $44.44 million in net assets in liquidation.

               Plan of Dissolution and Liquidation

On June 24, 2010, the Company signed a definitive purchase and
sale agreement with Chemring Group PLC pursuant to which Chemring
agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of the Company
for $59,560 in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.  On
Sept. 1, 2010, the Company completed the asset sale to Chemring
contemplated by the Agreement.  Pursuant to the Agreement,
Chemring acquired all of the capital stock of Mecar for
approximately $45,810 in cash, and separately Chemring acquired
substantially all of the assets of Mecar USA for $13,750 in cash
and the assumption by Chemring of certain specified liabilities of
Mecar USA.  A portion of the purchase price was paid through the
repayment of certain intercompany indebtedness owed to the Company
that would otherwise have been cancelled at closing.  $15,000 of
the proceeds from the sale was deposited into escrow to secure the
Company's indemnification obligations under the Agreement.  The
$15,000 of cash plus earned interest income remains in escrow as
of March 31, 2011.

In conjunction with the Agreement, the Board of Directors of the
Company unanimously approved the dissolution of the Company
pursuant to a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution.  The
Company's stockholders approved the Plan of Dissolution on
Sept. 30, 2010.  In response to concerns of certain of the
Company's stockholders, the Company has agreed to delay the filing
of a certificate of dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of
State so that the stockholders may continue to transfer the
Company's common stock while the Company resolves the matters
relating to the U.S. Department of Justice subpoena.  The Company
will delay the filing of a certificate of dissolution with the
Delaware Secretary of State until the earlier of Aug. 31, 2011, or
a resolution of all matters concerning the DOJ.

On Sept. 2, 2010, the Company received a staff determination
letter from NYSE Amex LLC.  The Staff Determination stated that
the Exchange determined that the Company no longer complies with
the requirements for continued listing set forth in NYSE Amex LLC
Company Guide Section 1003(c)(i) as a result of the sale of
substantially all of the Company's assets.  On Sept. 20, 2010, the
Company announced that trading of shares of the Company's common
stock had been transferred from the NYSE Amex to the OTCQBTM
Marketplace effective Monday, Sept. 20, 2010.  The Company's
trading symbol is now ADGI.

AMERICAN GREETINGS: Moody's Raises Corp. Family Rating to 'Ba1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded American Greetings Corp's
Corporate Family Rating to Ba1 from Ba2 and assigned a Ba2 rating
to the new $225 million senior unsecured notes. The following
ratings were also upgraded: Probability-of-Default Rating to Ba1
from Ba2 and the Revolving Credit Facility Rating to Baa2 from
Baa3. The Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating was affirmed at SGL-
1. The rating on the existing notes will be withdrawn upon
closing. The outlook is stable.

"Despite significant turmoil in the macro economy, American
Greetings was able to increase its revenue in each of the first
two quarters of fiscal 2012," said Kevin Cassidy, Senior Credit
Officer at Moody's Investors Service. This is significant because
revenue fell in each quarter in fiscal 2011. "While we don't think
the 7.6% revenue increase in the 2nd quarter will hold up for the
rest of the year, Moody's thinks it will modestly improve for the
full year," noted Cassidy. The upgrades reflect Moody's increasing
comfort that revenue and margins will materially stay at about the
same levels in the near to mid-term or possibly increase slightly,
despite increasing macro economic uncertainty around the world.

RATINGS RATIONALE

American Greetings Ba1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the
business risks inherent in the greeting card industry, which is
characterized by low or in some cases declining growth rates, its
modest size with revenue around $1.6 billion, weak consumer
branding and heavy competition. The rating also considers the
possibility of American Greetings being modestly more aggressive
with shareholder returns after a couple of years of modest
activity. The ratings are supported by the company's position in
the U.S. greeting card industry as one of the two leading
companies, its long operating history of over 100 years,
predictable demand for its products, and important relationships
with retail customers. A key element to American Greetings' rating
is its efficient cost structure and recent strategic acquisitions
and disposition of its retail operations. This has resulted in
strong credit metrics with debt/EBITDA around 2 times and retained
cash flow/net debt over 50%. Moody's believes stronger credit
metrics are necessary to balance the mature nature of American
Greetings' business. Moody's expects credit metrics to weaken in
2013 as the company builds a new corporate headquarter costing
between $150 million and $200 million and finances more than half
of the purchase with debt. The remainder will be paid for with
cash.

An upgrade is not likely in the near term. The rating could be
upgraded over the longer term if revenue increases on a sustained
basis and credit metrics improve from current levels.
Specifically, debt/EBITDA would need to be sustained below 1.5
times and retained cash flow/net debt should be sustained no lower
than 35%. Successful integration of the Watermark Publishing
acquisition and continued stability in financial policies are also
factors that will be considered. The company's capital structure
with the Weiss brothers having super voting interests will also be
considered.

The rating could be downgraded if the company increases leverage
to fund shareholder returns or acquisitions such that debt to
EBITDA approaches 3 times on a sustained basis or EBITA/interest
approached 2.5 times on a sustained basis.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that American Greetings
operating performance will likely remain at or close to current
levels in the near to mid-term. An increase in debt to partially
fund the new corporate headquarter building is reflected in the
stable outlook.

Rating Assigned:

Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2021 at Ba2 (LGD 5, 72%);

Ratings Upgraded:

Corporate Family Rating to Ba1 from Ba2;

Probability-of-Default Rating to Ba1 from Ba2;

$350 million revolving credit facility expiring 2015 to Baa2 (LGD
2, 18%) from Baa3 (LGD 2, 19%);

Rating Affirmed:

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-1

The principal methodology used in rating American Greetings was
Moody's 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.

With principal executive offices in Cleveland, Ohio, American
Greetings Corporation is a leading developer, manufacturer and
distributor of greeting cards and social expression products.
Sales were approximately $1.6 billion for the twelve months ended
August 30, 2011.


AMERICAN GREETINGS: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Corporate Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services affirmed its corporate credit
rating of 'BB+' on Ohio-based American Greetings Corp. "At the
same time, we affirmed our 'BBB' rating on the company's $350
million secured revolving credit facility due 2015. The recovery
rating remains unchanged at '1', indicating our expectation of
very high recovery (90% to 100%) in the event of a payment
default," S&P said.

"At the same time, we assigned a preliminary 'BB+' senior
unsecured debt rating to the company's proposed Rule 415 universal
shelf filing. We also assigned a 'BB+' rating to American
Greetings' proposed new $225 million of senior unsecured notes due
2021. The recovery rating is '3', indicating our expectation that
lenders would receive meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the
event of a payment default. The notes will be issued under the
company's Rule 415 shelf registration. We expect the net proceeds
from the offering to repay the company's existing $222 million
senior unsecured notes due to mature in June 2016," S&P said.

"Our rating affirmation reflects the company's strong credit
metrics and our expectation for the company to maintain moderate
financial policies, despite acquisitions, and strong liquidity,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephanie Harter. "The
proposed refinancing will extend American Greetings' debt maturity
profile."

"American Greetings is the second-largest manufacturer and
distributor of greeting cards and other social expression products
(behind Hallmark Cards Inc., unrated) in the United States.
Standard & Poor's believes the industry's low growth and mature
characteristics will continue to constrain growth in the company's
core greeting card business. Therefore, we believe sales and
EBITDA growth will be largely dependent on the company's ability
to drive greeting card sales and increase operating efficiencies,"
S&P said.

"The company's credit measures have remained relatively stable
over the past year, primarily thanks to debt reduction," said Ms.
Harter. "Despite increased uses of working capital and capital
expenditures, we expect debt levels to remain near current
levels."

The rating outlook is positive. Standard & Poor's expects the
company's operating performance to remain stable, despite the
possibility of a weaker sales mix from a slow economic recovery in
the U.S.

                       About American Patriot

Based in Greenville, Tenn., American Patriot Financial Group, Inc.
is a one-bank holding company formed as a Tennessee corporation to
own the shares of American Patriot Bank.  The Bank is the only
subsidiary of the Corporation.

American Patriot Bank commenced operations as a state chartered
bank on July 9, 2001.  The Bank had total assets of roughly
$118 million at Dec. 31, 2009.  The Bank is not a member of
the Federal Reserve System.

The Bank's customer base consists primarily of small to medium-
sized business retailers, manufacturers, distributors, land
developers, contractors, professionals, service businesses and
local residents.

On Aug. 18, 2010, the Company received from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action
Directive, dated August 17, 2010, due to American Patriot Bank's
"significantly undercapitalized" status.  The Directive requires
that the Bank submit an acceptable capital restoration plan on or
before August 31, 2010, providing that, among other things, at a
minimum, the Bank will  restore and maintain its capital to the
level of "adequately capitalized."

As reported by the TCR on April 6, 2011, Hazlett, Lewis & Bieter,
PLLC, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, expressed substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred
significant losses for the past four years resulting in a retained
deficit of $5,946,761.  At Dec. 31, 2010, the Company and its
subsidiary were significantly undercapitalized based on regulatory
standards and has consented to an Order to Cease and Desist with
its primary federal regulator that requires, among other
provisions, that it achieve regulatory capital thresholds that are
significantly in excess of its current actual capital levels.  The
Company's nonperforming assets have increased significantly during
2010 and 2009 related primarily to deterioration in the credit
quality of its loans collateralized by real estate.  The Company,
at the holding company level, has a note payable that was due Feb.
28, 2011; however, the Company does not currently have sufficient
funds to pay off this note and it is uncertain whether the lender
will renew the note, or whether the Company can raise sufficient
capital to pay off the note.  This note is securitized by 100% of
the stock of the subsidiary.


AMERICAN STEAMSHIP: S&P Lifts Counterparty Credit Rating to BB+
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its counterparty credit
and financial strength ratings on American Steamship Owners Mutual
P&I Assoc. Inc. (American Club) to 'BB+' from 'BB'. The outlook is
stable.

"The upgrade reflects American Club's improved underwriting
performance over the past couple of years, improvement in risk-
based capital adequacy, and a modest improvement in its
competitive position," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Siddhartha Ghosh. The club's generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) combined ratio (excluding unbudgeted calls)
improved to 98% in 2010 from 110.1% in 2009 and 114.1% in 2008. A
favorable claims environment helped improve the underwriting
results. Also supporting the rating is improvement in American
Club's risk-based capital adequacy based on Standard & Poor's
statutory capital model, in part because of significant growth in
the club's surplus to $71.4 million as of year-end 2010 from $48.2
million as of year-end 2009. The club's increased surplus in
recent years is mainly because of supplemental calls, improved
underwriting results, and net realized capital gains. The quality
of American Club's capital remains a rating weakness because of
high volatility in its surplus from potential large swings in the
equity markets, which occurred in 2008 and early 2009. Management
is addressing this risk factor through further reduction in its
equity holdings relative to the overall portfolio. For example,
the ratio of American Club's equity to surplus as of Sept. 30,
2011, has declined to 24.5% compared with 31.8% as of year-end
2010.

"We consider American Club's competitive position to be good, and
it is gradually improving as the club focuses on improving quality
of risks as it evaluates the historical performances of members at
every renewal. The club has grown its gross tonnage (GT) in Asia,
particularly in China. The club's protection and indemnity (P&I)
business grew to 16.1 million GT as of Sept. 20, 2011, since its
recent renewal on Feb. 20, 2011," S&P said.

"The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that
American Club will continue to improve its underwriting
performance with a GAAP combined ratio excluding any unbudgeted
calls of about 100% over the next two years. Additionally, we
expect the club to grow its surplus over the next two years, which
will enhance its risk-based capital adequacy based on our capital
model. Standard & Poor's also expects American Club to maintain
good underwriting discipline and good risk selections by focusing
on profitability as the key driver behind growth, especially from
Asia, which has been the focus of the club's growth strategy in
the past few years. We expect American Club's equity holdings as a
percentage of its surplus to remain at about 25% at the most over
the next couple of years as management remains focused on reducing
equity tolerances in its investment portfolio. We believe the
club's current growth strategy in Asia will continue, particularly
in China where more businesses are being generated because of
strong demands for P&I coverages and the club's fully operational
branch office in China," S&P said.

"Standard & Poor's doesn't expect to raise the rating on American
Club within the next two years unless there is a significant
improvement in its risk-based capital adequacy as per Standard &
Poor's capital model and the club continues to meet all our
expectations with regard to underwriting performance and its
competitive position. However, if the club does not meet our
expectations in the next two years, materially increases its
equity holdings relative to the total investment portfolio, or its
surplus drops significantly, we could lower the rating," S&P said.


AMR CORP: Absence of Deal Could Prompt Chapter 11 Filing
--------------------------------------------------------
Fitch relates that the absence of progress this week in contract
talks between AMR Corp. management and the Allied Pilots
Association (APA) raises the risk that American Airlines will be
forced into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.  Fitch Ratings sees
agreement on terms similar to those proposed by management as
essential if the carrier is to move toward a sustainable operating
profile in 2012 and beyond.

According to Fitch, after five years of unsuccessful bargaining
for new contracts, American's pilots appear committed to proposals
that would drive AMR's unit labor costs still higher at a time
when the airline's margin performance continues to lag
significantly behind that of competing U.S. carriers such as
United and Delta.

Fitch says "While AMR's liquidity position ($4.3 billion in
unrestricted cash and investments at Sept. 30) is adequate to
allow the company to avoid a bankruptcy filing in the short run,
we regard the achievement of competitive pilot wage and benefit
levels as key to American's long-term survival."

"In addition to an unsustainable cost profile, AMR faces heavy
debt maturities and cash pension funding requirements over coming
years that necessitate the generation of positive free cash flow
(FCF) and a gradual but consistent reduction in lease-adjusted
debt. Another year of substantial operating losses would likely
drive AMR's liquidity toward unmanageable levels, despite the
carrier's success in accessing debt markets earlier this year and
the potential for scheduled current maturities of $1.4 billion to
be refinanced.

"Although the industry revenue environment has remained healthy in
the face of broader weakness in the global economy, persistent
fuel cost pressure in 2011 and the labor cost gap have placed AMR
in a fundamentally unsustainable financial position.

"While management has repeatedly emphasized a desire to avoid an
in-court restructuring, Chapter 11 would provide room for the
carrier to transform its long-term operating profile.
Restructuring steps would likely include a termination of defined
benefit pension plans and a significant reduction in the size of
American's uncompetitive MD-80 fleet through the rejection of
certain aircraft obligations.

"A downgrade in AMR's 'CCC' issuer default rating (IDR) to 'CC' or
'C' is likely in the event that a break down in labor negotiations
signals a continuation of significantly negative FCF in 2012 and a
likely re-assessment by management of the need to pursue a near-
term reorganization in bankruptcy," notes Fitch.


AMR CORP: American Air Pilots' Union Rejects Latest Contract Offer
------------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review Cap reports that union leaders
for American Airlines pilots rejected the latest contract offer
from American parent AMR Corp., but said they remain "ready and
willing" to resume stalled negotiations that are seen as vital for
AMR to avoid bankruptcy.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the board of AMR Corp., parent of American Airlines,
may be discussing whether or when filing for Chapter 11
reorganization may be necessary given the inability to negotiate a
labor-saving contract with the pilots' union.  The board meets
Nov. 16.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 16, 2011,
Fitch Ratings said in a statement that the absence of progress in
contract talks between AMR Corp. management and the Allied Pilots
Association (APA) raises the risk that American Airlines will be
forced into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.  Fitch Ratings sees
agreement on terms similar to those proposed by management as
essential if the carrier is to move toward a sustainable operating
profile in 2012 and beyond.  After five years of unsuccessful

In November 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
outlook on AMR Corp. and its major operating subsidiary, American
Airlines Inc., to stable from negative, based on AMR's improved
operating performance, which has bolstered credit quality.  S&P
also affirmed its 'B-' corporate credit rating and most issue
ratings on the two companies and lowered selected ratings on
American's enhanced equipment trust certificates.

halloysite clay in the western hemisphere.  Halloysite is an
aluminosilicate clay that forms naturally occurring nanotubes.

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

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

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


AQUILEX HOLDINGS: Has $15MM Loan; Forbearance Extended to February
------------------------------------------------------------------
Aquilex Holdings LLC reached an agreement for $15 million in
incremental debt financing from a group of senior noteholders led
by affiliates of Centerbridge Partners, L.P.  This investment,
which is expected to close and be fully funded by Nov. 16, 2011,
represents an important first milestone in the Company's financial
restructuring process and increases the Company's liquidity to
$33.5 million when coupled with its existing cash on hand of
$18.5 million, as of Nov. 14, 2011.  The additional liquidity,
which is being provided pursuant to a second-lien senior secured
credit facility, will help ensure that Aquilex's operations
continue in the normal course while the Company continues to
engage in constructive negotiations with lenders and senior
noteholders regarding a consensual balance sheet restructuring.

"We are pleased to have reached an agreement for a $15 million
investment from our largest senior noteholders, which will provide
us with incremental liquidity and represents the first major
milestone in our financial restructuring efforts.  The actions by
our senior noteholders and lenders are a strong sign of support
for the Company in this process," said Bill Varner, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Aquilex.  "This additional liquidity
will help ensure that business continues as usual for our
employees, customers and vendors as we continue to engage in
active and constructive negotiations with our lenders and senior
noteholders regarding a consensual balance sheet restructuring
that would significantly deleverage the Company's balance sheet,
enhance the financial flexibility of Aquilex, and allow us to
reinvest in the business to better support our customers."

He continued, "Throughout this restructuring process, we will
focus on minimizing any impact on our customers, vendors and
suppliers, who should not experience any changes or disruption in
the high quality services they have come to expect from Aquilex.
We intend to honor vendor contracts under normal terms and expect
service to customers will continue without interruption during
this process.  We appreciate the continued support of our
employees, customers and vendors as we shape Aquilex into a world-
class provider of solutions to the energy services industry."

In connection with the financing agreement, Aquilex's lenders have
agreed to extend the previously announced forbearance agreement
from Dec. 8, 2011, to Feb. 3, 2012.  As part of the amended
forbearance agreement, the Company's lenders have agreed not to
take any action relating to a potential financial covenant default
as a result of the Company's fourth quarter 2011 financial
performance.  Separately, a majority of the Company's senior
noteholders have agreed to forbear until Feb. 3, 2012, from taking
any legal action if the Company determines not to pay the $12.5
million interest payment on the Company's senior notes due on
Dec. 15, 2011.

The Company anticipates that it will reach an agreement-in-
principle on the terms of the financial restructuring by Dec. 15,
2011.  While the plan has not yet been finalized, the Company
expects that the potential transaction will result in a
substantial reduction in the level of its debt and increased
financial flexibility.  Aquilex expects the cornerstones of the
restructuring to include a substantial new equity investment by
the senior noteholders, which will provide additional liquidity
for working capital purposes and a significant paydown of the
Company's secured debt.  Aquilex expects that, as part of the
restructuring, the Company's senior notes would be exchanged for
common equity of the Company pursuant to an out-of-court
restructuring or a voluntary filing under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code, which the Company currently expects would be a
"pre-packaged" bankruptcy filing.  In the event of such a filing,
the Company expects that the closing of the restructuring would
take place as soon as 45 to 60 days thereafter and the proceedings
would not affect its customers, vendors or employees.  As part of
the closing of the transaction, the Company expects that
affiliates of Centerbridge Partners, L.P. would become the
controlling shareholder of Aquilex.

Rothschild Inc. is acting as financial advisor and investment
banker and Richards, Layton & Finger is acting as legal advisor to
Aquilex in connection with the restructuring.  Alvarez & Marsal is
acting as restructuring advisor to the Company.

The Company noted that the foregoing represents only its current
expectations and is subject to numerous assumptions, including the
receipt of sufficient support for its restructuring plan from its
existing creditors.  Additional information is available in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including but not limited to its Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for
its third quarter of 2011, as filed with the SEC on Nov. 14, 2011.

weak liquidity, as the company breached its financial covenants in
the third quarter of 2011 and is now operating under a forbearance
agreement expiring Dec. 8, 2011.


ARCADIA RESOURCES: Incurs $3.2 Million Net Loss in Sept. 30 Qtr.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Arcadia Resources, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a
net loss of $3.19 million on $20.42 million of revenue for the
three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss
of $2.89 million on $20.93 million of revenue for the same period
a year ago.

The Company reported a net loss of $14.35 million on
$100.04 million of revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2011, compared with a net loss of $31.09 million on $98.08 million
of revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

The Company also reported a net loss of $5.98 million on $40.86
million of revenue for the six-month period ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $6.93 million on $41.29 million of
revenue for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$23.69 million in total assets, $49.52 million in total
liabilities, and a $25.82 million total stockholders' deficit.

BDO USA, LLP, in Troy, Michigan, expressed substantial doubt about
Arcadia Resources' ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company continues to generate negative cash flows on a
consolidated basis.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, the Company has $42.3
million of outstanding debt, of which $37.8 million is due in or
before April 2012.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, 193 million of the 300
million authorized shares of common stock were outstanding.  The
Company's stock price as of Sept. 30, 2011, was $0.025.  The
Company has received notices of default from its two secured
lenders, Comerica Bank and HD Smith.  The Company intends to sell
or wind down its Pharmacy segment operations and is analyzing the
various alternatives for its Services segment, which includes the
divestiture of the business.  If these sale transactions are
consummated, it is highly unlikely that proceeds from these
transactions will be adequate to pay down all of the secured debt
and a significant portion of the unsecured debt.  Additionally, it
is possible that issues of liquidity or other factors could cause
the Company to file a petition for relief under the United States
Bankruptcy Code or initiate other reorganization proceedings.

ATLANTIC & PACIFIC: Wins Broad Test-Case Appeal
-----------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. did bankrupt
companies a favor by winning an appeal over power companies
complaints that a two-week security deposit was inadequate.  The
22-page opinion on Nov. 14 by U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel
knocked down several arguments utility companies often make in
pursuit of larger security deposits.

The case involved Section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code where
companies in bankruptcy, including Chapter 11, are required to
give utilities "adequate assurance" that future bills will be
paid.  A&P proposed creating an escrow deposit with $7.45 million,
representing two weeks of utility service.  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Robert Drain agreed that two weeks was sufficient.  Utilities took
an expedited appeal, and A&P won.

The report relates that Judge Seibel's opinion is most notable for
her disagreement with an interpretation of Section 366 proffered
by the utilities.  The power companies contended that a bankrupt
company must first give utilities the security deposits they
demand and then ask the bankruptcy court for permission to reduce
the deposits.

Judge Seibel said the utilities' statutory interpretation was
"contrary to the clear language of the statute."  She also said
that the utilities' proposal was "unworkable."  The district judge
rejected several other stock arguments often made by utility
companies opposing a bankrupt's adequate assurance proposal.
Among them, Judge Seibel rejected the argument that the bankruptcy
court must defer to state regulations in determining the size of a
security deposit.

The appeal is Long Island Lighting Co. v. The Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Co. Inc. (In re The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.
Inc.), 11-1338, U.S. District Court, Southern District New York
(White Plains).

                  About Great Atlantic & Pacific

BELFOR HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns Ba2 Rating to $50MM Term Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba2 rating to the planned
$50 million first-lien incremental term loan of Belfor Holdings
Inc. All other ratings, including the Ba3 corporate family and B1
probability of default rating remain unchanged. The rating outlook
is stable. Proceeds of the planned incremental term loan will
reduce revolver borrowings and help restore a liquidity profile
that has weakened due to working capital growth.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Belfor's Ba3 corporate family rating continues unchanged because
Moody's anticipates significant near-term free cash flow and
better EBITDA margin upcoming. Substantial year-over-year revenue
growth in Q2 and Q3- 2011 grew accounts receivable, and revolver
borrowings, diminishing liquidity. The additional debt will
restore financial flexibility. Moody's notes that liquidity
diminished, in part, because profits have not grown in-step with
revenues as a greater proportion of non-flood related work in the
revenue mix hurt margins. Moody's anticipates a reversal of the
margin decline as the company's pending work pipeline includes a
more balanced mix. Further, the accounts receivable turnover rate
fell in 2011 as payments by insurance companies slowed as claim
volumes rose; turnover rates should improve once the claims surge
normalizes.

The stable outlook reflects Belfor's experience, operating
efficiency and scale in the highly fragmented disaster recovery
services niche. Revenues, earnings, and cash flow in the business
can fluctuate with the unpredictable frequency and severity of
natural and other disasters. Moody's anticipates liquidity profile
adequacy once the $50 million incremental term loan closes.
Expectation of higher margins and free cash flow add confidence
that credit metrics will soon attain levels on par with the
rating. The outlook anticipates debt reduction or internal funding
of acquisitions in 2012, both of which should also raise financial
ratio covenant compliance headroom.

Downward rating pressure would grow with debt to EBITDA remaining
above 4x, return on assets remaining below 3%, or free cash flow
to debt remaining below 5%. Expectation of a weak liquidity
profile would also negatively pressure the rating. Upward rating
momentum, not currently anticipated, would develop with debt to
EBITDA below 3x, EBIT to interest approaching 4x and free cash
flow to debt above 10%. Expectation of a good liquidity profile
would also likely accompany a higher corporate family rating.

The ratings are:

Probability of Default, unchanged at B1

Through its subsidiaries, Belfor Holdings, Inc. is a global damage
recovery and restoration provider, offering its services to
insurance companies, insurance intermediaries, industrial,
commercial and residential customers. Revenues over the last
twelve months ended September 30, 2011 were about $1.2 billion.

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


BELFOR USA: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' corporate
credit and issue-level ratings on Birmingham, Mich.?based Belfor
USA Group Inc. (Belfor) in advance of the company's proposed $50
million incremental term loan A financing. "The company expects to
issue the term loan under its existing credit facility agreement
dated April 8, 2011 (an amendment is not required). However, in
light of the additional debt, we are revising our recovery ratings
on the credit facilities to '4' from '3', indicating our
expectation of an average recovery (30% to 50%) in the event of a
payment default," S&P said.

"The ratings incorporate Belfor's aggressive financial risk
profile, marked by significant debt and an acquisition-oriented
growth strategy, along with its fair business risk profile as a
global damage recovery and restoration services provider; its
extensive network of relationships with insurance companies and
other intermediaries; stable growth in the core business; and
limited capital spending requirements," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst James Siahaan. "Partially offsetting factors
include a revenue base that is subject in part to the vagaries of
natural disasters, the typically high working-capital requirements
and customer concentrations that arise from such disaster-related
services, and modest profit margins in the base business."

"Belfor derives a substantial portion of its revenues from
repairing and restoring damage caused by small- and medium-size
events -- we view this as a reasonably predictable core business.
This base business has exhibited steady growth in recent years.
The company's services also include work on sizable hurricane-
related projects, which give rise to customer concentration. The
predictability of this portion of the business is far less certain
given the dependence on major weather events, which vary in the
frequency of occurrence as well as magnitude of damage. The
related cash flows are tied to the timing and receipt of insurance
proceeds, which can prolong collections. Competition in Belfor's
markets is highly fragmented and comprises regional firms that are
smaller, and have fewer service offerings and less capacity to
handle large hurricane-related projects. In contrast, Belfor
benefits from its ability to mobilize its skilled labor force
quickly. Consequently, we expect Belfor to continue to enjoy
satisfactory organic growth opportunities consistent with
its efforts to expand its geographic reach through new branch
openings and to increase its service capabilities," S&P stated.

Belfor's revenues, operating income, and profitability benefited
significantly from storms in 2005 through 2008, as the damage from
particularly severe hurricane seasons gave rise to an extended
tail of future revenues. However, storm-related revenues are
highly uncertain. As the company completed damage restoration and
reconstruction projects associated with past hurricanes, overall
operating margins have steadily declined during the past few
years. Still, despite the erosion in storm-related revenue and the
weak economy, revenue from the company's base business has
steadily grown by almost 13% while its base margin has shown solid
improvement in 2005-2010. Belfor has reduced costs globally and
has benefitted from acquisition-related contributions.

Belfor has completed roughly 50 transactions since 1999 for a
total of more than $250 million in revenue at the time of the
purchases. These acquisitions tend to be of the smaller, tuck-in
variety, and they help the company fuel growth and expand its
service offerings geographically. The company has demonstrated a
successful track record of integrating the many businesses it
acquires, and has been able to successfully execute its growth
strategy without stretching its financial risk profile.

"The outlook is stable. Key factors supporting the ratings include
Belfor's solid competitive position, its ability to exhibit stable
growth in its base business, and its opportunity to enjoy enhanced
earnings should any natural disaster-related projects arise. The
company benefits from a steady base of recurring revenues from
small- and medium-size damage-restoration projects, which
constitute the majority of its revenues; an extensive office
network around the U.S.; and good operating efficiencies. Belfor's
overall profitability and free cash generation were weak in the
first half of 2011 on a lower-margin mix of business along with
the continued lack of storm-related work. However, following the
company's stronger third-quarter performance, we believe that
Belfor's profitability will be supported in the near term since
the pace of order flow and backlog bookings have increased
rapidly. Through a combination of improving earnings and debt
reduction, we believe Belfor's FFO to debt ratio could return to
the 15% to 20% range over the next year -- we consider this
appropriate for the current ratings," S&P said.

"We could raise the ratings if the company's organic- and
acquisition-related growth improves operating performance so that
the FFO to adjusted debt regularly exceeds 20%," Mr. Siahaan
continued. "The unpredictable nature of hurricane-related revenues
and moderately aggressive debt leverage are negative credit
factors, but we believe these will most likely not lead to a
ratings downgrade in the next few quarters. Although demand for
Belfor's damage-restoration services is difficult to predict, we
recognize that a weaker economy could potentially erode pricing.
If Belfor's revenues contract by 8% and its EBITDA margins erode
by roughly 2% in the next year, then its FFO to debt would likely
approach 12%, and we could consider a downgrade."


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Trustee Files Motion to Knock Out ERISA Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities Inc. filed papers to knock out claims where investors
contend they have status as "customers" as a result of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, commonly known as
ERISA.

Mr. Rochelle recounts that the bankruptcy judge previously
eliminated customer claims from investors in feeder funds who
weren't themselves customers of the Madoff firm.  The decision is
on appeal.  When the bankruptcy judge dismissed feeder fund
investors' claims, he didn't decide whether the ruling would apply
to that claiming customer status under ERISA.  Irving Picard, the
Madoff trustee, says that the ERISA statute has nothing to say
about who is or isn't a customer in a brokerage liquidation.

According to the report, Mr. Picard explains how the Securities
Investor Protection Act defines a customer as someone who has a
claim based on securities or cash the person gave the broker.
ERISA, Mr. Picard says, doesn't change the definition.  Anyone
opposing the trustee's effort to eliminate customer claims under
ERISA must file papers by Jan. 17.  The bankruptcy court scheduled
a hearing for May 23.

Mr. Rochelle notes that only creditors with customer claims are
entitled to a portion of the more than $8 billion the trustee has
collected in what's known as the fund of customer property.
General creditors don't participate in distributions from the
customer property fund.  General creditors will only be paid from
whatever assets the trustee collects that aren't deemed customer
property.

                      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 July 15, 2011, a total of US$6.88 billion in claims by
investors has been allowed, with US$794.9 million to be paid by
the Securities Investor Protection Corp.  Investors are expected
to receive additional distributions from money recovered by Mr.
Picard from lawsuits or settlements.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

Should commodity margins narrow again and continue for an extended
period of time, the Company may not generate sufficient cash flow
from operations to both service its debt and operate its plants.
The Company is required to make, under the terms of its Senior
Debt facility, quarterly principal payments in a minimum amount of
$3,150,000, plus accrued interest.  The Company cannot predict
when or if crush spreads will fluctuate again or if the current
commodity margins will improve or worsen.  If crush spreads were
to narrow again and continue there for an extended period of time,
the Company may expend all of its sources of liquidity, in which
event the Company would not be able to pay principal and interest
on its debt.  Any inability to pay principal and interest on the
Company's debt would lead to an event of default under the
Company's Senior Debt facility, which, in the absence of
forbearance, debt service abeyance or other accommodations from
its lenders, could require the Company to seek relief through a
filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Company expects
fluctuations in the crush spread to continue.

STORES, INC., WAL-MART STORES EAST, L.P., and WAL-MART STORES
EAST, INC., No. 7:11-cv-111 (M.D. Ga.), as to defendant Blitz
U.S.A., Inc., in view of its bankruptcy filing.  A copy of the

                        About Blitz U.S.A.

Blitz Acquisition Holdings, Inc., and its affiliates filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 11-13602 to 11-
13607) on Nov. 9, 2011.  Blitz Acquisition estimated assets and
debts of $50 million to $100 million.  The petitions were signed
by Rocky Flick, president and chief executive officer.

The Debtors are represented by Daniel J. DeFranceschi, Esq., at
Richards, Layton & Finger, in Wilmington, Delaware.  Kurtzman
Carson Consultants LLC serves as notice and claims agent.

Since its early beginning in 1966, Blitz and its predecessors have
been successfully producing portable fuel containers for customer
use.  With more than 150 million units currently in circulation,
Blitz accounts for approximately 70% of the market share in the
United States in the portable fuel containment and storage
industry.

Approximately three years ago, Blitz began to experience an uptick
in litigation with approximately four to seven new cases filed
against Blitz each year.  Although Blitz has been able to
successfully manage its litigation exposure and associated defense
costs during the past several years, following a 2010 Utah State
jury verdict and several plaintiff-friendly settlements involving
Blitz's insurance carriers, Blitz has become the subject of an
increased influx of lawsuits.

Blitz said it intends to utilize the chapter 11 process to fully
and finally litigate the many lawsuits pending in various
jurisdictions across the country and reorganize as a healthy
company without the burdensome weight of litigation.

The Company realized a loss from continuing operations of
$15.1 million during fiscal year 2011 compared to $10.7 million
during fiscal year 2010.  This 41% increase in loss from
continuing operations was primarily attributable to increased

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company has disclosed that if it does not complete the sale,
it will not have sufficient funds to retire the restructured
Senior Notes when they become due.  "In this event, we would
likely be required to consider liquidation alternatives, including
the liquidation of our business under bankruptcy
protection," the Company said.

The Loan Restructuring Agreement the Company entered into as part
of the Debt Restructuring contains, among other things, covenants
that may restrict its ability to obtain additional capital, to
declare or pay a dividend or to engage in other business
activities.  A breach of any of these covenants could result in a
default under the Company's Amended and Restated Note, in which
event the holder of the note could elect to declare all amounts
outstanding to be immediately due and payable, which would require
the Company to secure additional debt or equity financing to repay
the indebtedness or to seek bankruptcy protection or liquidation.

BROADSTRIPE LLC: Sets December 8 Plan Confirmation Hearing
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Broadstripe LLC received approval of the disclosure
statement late last month, allowing the bankruptcy court to
schedule a Dec. 8 confirmation hearing for approval of the plan to
sell the business to four buyers for about $95 million.

According to the report, the Disclosure Statement tells second-
lien and general unsecured creditors that they should have about
5% recovery if they agree to releases.  If not, the recovery would
be 0.4%, the disclosure statement says.

The plan is based partly on a settlement approved in December that
is to be implemented as part of the reorganization.  First-lien
secured lenders consented to the sale even though it pays less
than half their debt and financing for the Chapter 11 case,
according to a court filing.  The first-lien debt is $181 million
while second-lien debt now owed to Highland Capital Management LP
is $91.9 million. Another $10.3 million of second-lien debt is
owed to other creditors.  Highland is to receive nothing on its
portion of the second-lien debt. General unsecured claims amount

CAROLINA INTERNET: 10th Cir. Reverses Stand on Automatic Stay
-------------------------------------------------------------
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth
Circuit overruled the Tenth Circuit's prior interpretation of 11
U.S.C. Sec. 362(a)(1), wherein it previously held that the
automatic stay does not prevent a Chapter 11 debtor in possession
from pursuing an appeal even if it is an appeal from a creditor's
judgment against the debtor.

The Tenth Circuit took this stand in the cases of Chizzali v.
Gindi (In re Gindi), 642 F.3d 865, 875 (10th Cir. 2011);
Morganroth & Morganroth v. DeLorean, 213 F.3d 1301, 1310 (10th
Cir. 2000); and Mason v. Okla. Tpk. Auth., 115 F.3d 1442, 1450
(10th Cir. 1997).  In earlier decisions reaching this conclusion,
the Tenth Circuit relied on Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6009 and Collier on
Bankruptcy.  Those earlier cases are Chaussee v. Lyngholm (In re
Lyngholm), 24 F.3d 89, 92 (10th Cir. 1994) (citing 8 R. Glen Ayers
et al., Collier on Bankruptcy Par. 6009.03, at 6009-3 (Lawrence P.
King ed. 1994)); Autoskill Inc. v. Nat'l Educ. Support Sys., Inc.,
994 F.2d 1476, 1485-86 (10th Cir. 1993) (citing 8 Collier on
Bankruptcy Par. 6009.03 & n.7, at 6009-3 (15th ed. 1992)).

The Tenth Circuit got a chance to revisit the decision in TW
TELECOM HOLDINGS INC., Plaintiff-Appellee, v. CAROLINA INTERNET
LTD., Defendant-Appellant, No. 11-1068.  Carolina Internet appeals
from the entry of default judgment against it and in favor of TW
Telecom Holdings for more than $3 million.  During the pendency of
this appeal, Carolina Internet filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

At least nine other circuit courts of appeals disagree with the
Tenth Circuit's interpretation of Sec. 362(a)(1) and have held
"that a bankruptcy filing automatically stays appellate
proceedings where the debtor has filed an appeal from a judgment
entered in a suit against the debtor."  The Carolina Internet
appellate panel also noted that Collier on Bankruptcy has
explicitly rejected the Tenth Circuit's reliance on it to support
the Circuit's minority position.  The panel also held that
Bankruptcy "Rule 6009 does not trump the code's automatic stay."
Simon v. Navon, 116 F.3d 1, 4 (1st Cir. 1997) (internal quotation
marks omitted); Parker v. Bain, 68 F.3d 1131, 1136 (9th Cir. 1995)
(holding "that Rule 6009 does not authorize proceedings that
section 362 would otherwise bar").

Accordingly, the panel ruled that Sec. 362(a)(1) prevents the
Tenth Circuit from proceeding with the Carolina Internet appeal,
and the matter is stayed until such time as it may proceed in a
manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code.

A copy of the Tenth Circuit's Nov. 15, 2011 Order is available at
http://is.gd/vXFNf9from Leagle.com.  Circuit Judges Paul Joseph
Kelly Jr., Neil Gorsuch, and Scott Matheson Jr. comprise the
panel.  Circuit Judge Gorsuch penned the decision.

Carolina Internet, Ltd., based in Charlotte, North Carolina, filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. W.D.N.C. Case No. 11-32461) on
Sept. 23, 2011.  Judge J. Craig Whitley presides over the case.
Richard M. Mitchell, Esq. -- rmmatty@mitchellculp.com -- at
Mitchell & Culp, PLLC, serves as the Debtor's counsel.

CATASYS INC: Incurs $2.3 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------
Catasys, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss
of $2.32 million on $57,000 of total revenues for the three months
ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $1.94 million on
$104,000 of total revenues for the same period during the prior
year.

The Company reported a net loss of $19.99 million on $448,000 of
total revenues for the twelve months ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared
with a net loss of $9.15 million on $1.53 million of total
revenues during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $1.32 million on $207,000
of total revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $7.53 million on $338,000 of total
revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $3.04
million in total assets, $5 million in total liabilities and a
$1.95 million total stockholders' deficit.

Rose, Snyder & Jacobs, in Encino, Calif., expressed substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred
significant operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations during the year ended Dec. 31, 2010.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

As of November 9, the Company had a balance of approximately
$243,000 cash on hand.  The Company had working capital deficit of
approximately $3.5 million at Sept. 30, 2011, and has continued to
deplete its cash position subsequent to Sept. 30, 2011.  The
Company has incurred significant net losses and negative operating
cash flows since its inception.  The Company could continue to
incur negative cash flows and net losses for the next twelve
months.  The Company's current cash burn rate is approximately
$450,000 per month, excluding non-current accrued liability
payments.  The Company expects its current cash resources to cover
expenses through November 2011, however delays in cash
collections, revenue, or unforeseen expenditures could impact this
estimate.  The Company will need to immediately obtain additional
capital and there is no assurance that additional capital can be
raised in an amount which is sufficient for the Company or on
terms favorable to its stockholders, if at all.  If the Company
does not immediately obtain additional capital, there is a
significant doubt as to whether the Company can continue to
operate as a going concern and the Company will need to curtail or
cease operations or seek bankruptcy relief.  If the Company
discontinues operations, the Company may not have sufficient funds
to pay any amounts to stockholders.

CENTERLINE INC: Wells Fargo Awarded $51T in Lawyer Fees
-------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Callie V. S. Granade award Wells Fargo Bank $50,966
for attorneys' fees and expenses in the lawsuit, WELLS FARGO BANK,
National Association, v. CENTERLINE, INC., an Alabama Corporation;
ANGELA M. GREEN, an Individual; and WILLIAM P. GREEN, an
individual, Civil Action No. 10-0440-CG-C (S.D. Ala.), pursuant to
a Nov. 9, 2011 Order available at http://is.gd/TLHDnCfrom
Leagle.com.

Default judgment was entered in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, and
against the Greens for $2,473,386.  The default judgment was based
on the outstanding indebtedness due under certain promissory notes
which were secured by guarantees executed by the individual
defendants.  The law firm of Baker Donelson assisted and is
continuing to assist Wells Fargo in the collection of the
obligations due under the promissory notes at issue and was
successful in obtaining a judgment against the individual
defendants for the entire amount due and owing under the
promissory notes.  Baker Donelson continued to assist in
collection of the obligation by representing Wells Fargo's
interest in Centerline's bankruptcy case.  Baker Donelson billed
Wells Fargo at rates ranging from $210-$310 per hour for work done
by its shareholders, $152-$175 per hour for work done by
associates, and $118-$136 per hour for paralegal work.  The Court
notes that the individual defendants have not appeared in the case
and, thus, have not filed any objection to Wells Fargo's
accounting or requested rates.

The case is currently stayed as to defendant Centerline due to it
having filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Aug. 29, 2010.


CENTRAL FALLS, R.I.: Retirees Say Bankruptcy Not Authorized
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that retired police and firefighters from the City of
Central Falls, Rhode Island, filed papers contesting the city's
right to file for Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy.

According to the report, the retirees contend the city's receiver,
former state Supreme Court Justice Robert G. Flanders Jr., didn't
satisfy one of the conditions to a Chapter 9 filing because he did
not negotiate in advance "in good faith."

The report relates that the retirees anticipate the receiver,
appointed before the bankruptcy filing, will contend that
negotiations would have been "impracticable."  To counter the
argument, the retirees argue that Flanders has "failed to
articulate how or why" negations were essentially impossible.

The receiver filed a proposed debt adjustment plan for the city in
September.  The plan is not intended to affect bondholders.

                         About Central Falls

Central Falls is a city in Providence County, Rhode Island.  The
population was 18,928 at the 2000 census.  Central Falls is the
smallest and most densely populated city in Rhode Island.

Central Falls sought bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. R.I. Case No. 11-13105) on Aug. 1,
2011.  The Chapter 9 filing was made after former Rhode Island
Supreme Court Judge Robert Flanders, who serves as state-appointed
receiver for the city, was unable to negotiate significant
concessions from unions representing police officers, firefighters
and other city workers.  The city grappled with an $80 million
unfunded pension and retiree health benefit liability that is
nearly quadruple its annual budget of $17 million.  Judge Robert
Flanders succeeded the role from retired Superior Court Associate
Justice Mark A. Pfeiffer, who was appointed in July 2010.  The
Central Falls receivership, the state's first, has left the mayor
and council without any power to govern.

Judge Frank Bailey presides over the Chapter 9 case.  Theodore
Orson, Esq., at Orson and Brusini Ltd., serves as bankruptcy
counsel to the receiver.

The receiver is negotiating new contracts with unions representing
city workers.  The receiver filed a proposed debt adjustment plan
for the city in September.  It won't affect bondholders.


CLARE AT WATER TOWER: Files for Chapter 11 in Chicago
-----------------------------------------------------
The Clare at Water Tower, an upscale 334-unit high-rise
continuing-care retirement community in Chicago, filed for Chapter
11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 11-46151) on Nov. 14
after defaulting on $229 million in tax-exempt bond financing used
to build the project.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that according to court filings, the project is only 42%
occupied  because the target population either hasn't been able to
sell homes or lacks sufficient cash to make required deposits as
the result declining investments following the recession.

The facility is a 53-story building on land rented from Loyola
University of Chicago.  The facility is managed and developed by a
unit of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago, who invested over $14
million.  The project opened in December 2008.  Residents must
make partially refundable deposits ranging from $263,000 to $1.2
million.  Monthly fees are an additional $2,700 to $5,500.

Bank of America NA issued a $137.5 million letter of credit to
secure some of the bonds.

According to the Bloomberg report, a $12 million secured loan from
Redwood Capital Investments LLC is intended to finance the Chapter
11 case.  The loan is to have a lien ahead of the bondholders'
security interests.  The loan requires there be either a letter
of intent for sale by Jan. 10 or a reorganization plan filed by
Feb. 15.

The project was expected to cost $120.5 million.  Actual costs
ended up being $130 million.

or benefits with any director or senior executive officer without
prior notification to regulators.

maintain thereafter, 8% Tier 1 (Core) Capital to adjusted total
assets and 12% Total Capital to risk weighted assets.  CFBank will

stable.  The upgrade reflects the progress CIT has made addressing
its most immediate organizational, operational, and financial
challenges subsequent to its bankruptcy reorganization in December
2009.  Moody's, however, notes that CIT's weak margins and
uncertainty regarding the pace and adequacy of future margin
improvements are constraints on the firm's ratings.

Dominion Bond Rating Service affirmed CIT's ratings, including its
Issuer Rating of B (high), unchanged following the Company's
second quarter 2011 financial results.

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

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on Tuesday to
impose sanctions against a bankruptcy trustee who filed a $17
million malpractice suit over the firm's handling of a case
against CMGT Inc.

According to the report, Mayer Brown hopes the appeals court will
reverse earlier orders by U.S. District Judge Virginia M. Kendall,
who refused to impose sanctions against CMGT trustee David
Grochocinski despite finding his actions "sloppy and negligent."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 7, 2010,
Mayer Brown prevailed in a bankruptcy trustee's $17 million

a lawsuit filed by CMGT Inc.'s former financial adviser.


COLONY RESORTS: Delays Filing of Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
--------------------------------------------------------------
Colony Resorts LVH Acquisitions, LLC, was not able to file its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30,
2011, on or prior to Nov. 15, 2011, without unreasonable effort or
expense due to the Company's inability to determine the fair value
of the Company's assets.  On Sept. 2, 2011, the Company's lender,
Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, caused a Notice of Breach and
Default and of Election to Sell Under Deed of Trust to be filed
with the Clark County Recorder's Office, thereby initiating a
foreclosure upon substantially all of the Company's assets.  The
pending foreclosure and related proceedings has created
uncertainty as to how the Company might determine the fair value
of those assets pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 144 (Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long Lived Assets).  Once the aforementioned uncertainty has been
resolved, the Company will file the Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended Sept. 30, 2011, as expeditiously thereafter as
possible.

Las Vegas, Nev.-based Colony Resorts LVH Acquisitions, LLC, owns

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $347.55
million in total assets, $296.17 million in total liabilities,
$61.80 million in redeemable members' equity, and a $10.42 million
members' deficit.

                      Default Under Term Loan

On May 11, 2006, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with
Goldman Sachs Commercial Mortgage Capital, L.P.  The Term Loan was
for an initial principal amount of $209.2 million and for an
initial term of two years.  The Company has drawn an additional
$40.8 million against the Term Loan, the maximum funding of the
Term Loan.  Covenants under the Term Loan restrict the Company's
future borrowing capacity.  The loan had an original two-year term
and three, one-year extensions.

Interest on the loan was based on LIBOR plus 2.9% with a minimum
LIBOR rate of 1.5%.  Interest incremented to LIBOR plus 3.5% from
July 2009 through May 2010 and increased to LIBOR plus 4.0% from
June 2010 through May 2011.

As of July 29, 2011, the Company is in default on its Term Loan.
Accordingly, the lender is entitled to exercise various rights,
powers and remedies including acceleration of the Loan,
termination or suspension of all or any portion of advances or
disbursement of funds from restricted cash accounts, accrual of
interest at the default rate and the exercise of remedies under
collateral documents.  The Company is currently in discussions
with its lender to negotiate a restructuring of its debt.  If the
Company is not successful in a restructuring agreement or entering
into a transaction to address its liquidity and capital structure,
the note holders have the ability to demand accelerated repayment
of all amounts under the Term Loan.  The Company would not have
the liquidity to meet this demand.

According to the Company, these conditions raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

As reported in the TCR on March 29, 2011, Ernst & Young, in Las
Vegas, Nevada, expressed substantial doubt about Colony Resorts
LVH Acquisition's ability to continue as a going concern,
following the Company's 2010 results.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company has incurred recurring net losses and has a
working capital deficiency.

CRYSTALLEX INT'L: Incurs US$8.6 Million 3rd Quarter Net Loss
------------------------------------------------------------
Crystallex International Corporation filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form
6-K reporting a net loss and comprehensive loss of US$8.61 million
for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net
loss and comprehensive loss of US$6.32 million for the same period
a year ago.

The Company also reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of
US$33.71 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss and comprehensive loss of
US$27.66 million for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
US$19.77 million in total assets, US$115.07 million in total
liabilities and a US$95.29 million total shareholders' deficiency.

As at Sept. 30, 2011, the Company had negative working capital of
$92.6 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $7.6
million.  Most of this working capital amount is the obligation to
repay the Noteholders the principal amount of the $100 million
notes payable due on Dec. 23, 2011.  Management estimates that its
existing cash and cash equivalents and expected proceeds from
additional equipment sales will be sufficient to meet its on-going
requirements through 2012 assuming either a settlement or
refinancing of the notes; however, without receipt of additional
sources of financing, will not be sufficient to pay the notes.
The unilateral cancellation of the MOC by CVG and the subsequent
arbitration claim may impact on the Company's ability to raise
financing.  These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt
as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they
come due and, accordingly, as to the ultimate appropriateness of
the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

DULCES ARBOR: Has Until Feb. 17 to Propose Plan of Reorganization
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. John C. Akard of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Texas extended until Feb. 17, 2012, Dulces
Arbor, S. De R.L. De C.V.'s exclusive period to file a plan of
reorganization.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 14, 2011, the
Debtor explained that it needed more time to recover rents from
its property to fund the proposal of a plan.

The Debtor related that tenants of its property failed to pay the
rents for three years now.  To recover those rents, the Debtor has
filed a turnover complaint, well as an action for patent
infringement damages, with a request for preliminary and permanent
injunctions, in Adversary proceeding No. 11-3019 before the Court.

Dulces Arbor said that it will not have the necessary income to
propose a Plan, until Adversary proceeding No. 11-3019 produces
rent money.  The Debtor added that it can reorganize if it can
collect the rent that is due from the tenant in the property.

The Debtor owns a 330,000-square foot candy manufacturing plant in
Juarez, Mexico, and has other assets in the United States.

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

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.

                           *     *     *

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.


EDRA BLIXSETH: Trial of Lawsuit v. Insurer Begins Next Month
------------------------------------------------------------
Trial in the adversary proceeding commenced by Ross P. Richardson,
the duly-appointed Chapter 7 Trustee for Yellowstone Club World,
LLC, and Richard J. Samson, the duly-appointed Chapter 7 Trustee
for the Estate of Edra D. Blixseth, asserting breach of contract,
bad faith and violation of the automatic stay claims against
Cincinnati Insurance Company will proceed as scheduled on Dec. 1,
2011, after Bankruptcy Judge Ralph B. Kirscher rejected competing
motions for summary judgment lodged by both sides.  CIC issued a
Blue Chip Policy to Yellowstone Mountain Club and its subsidiaries
for the period from Jan. 31, 2008 through Jan. 31, 2009.  The
Policy provides "Directors and Officers Liability and Company
Coverage."

The lawsuit is, RICHARD SAMSON and ROSS P RICHARDSON, v.
CINCINNATI INSURANCE COMPANY, Adv. Proc. No. 11-00014 (Bankr. D.
Mont.).  A copy of Judge Kirscher's Nov. 14, 2011 Memorandum of
Decision is available at http://is.gd/qoKb44from Leagle.com.

                     About Edra D. Blixseth

Edra D. Blixseth owns the Porcupine Creek Golf Club in Rancho
Mirage and the Yellowstone Club in Montana.  Ms. Blixseth filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 26, 2009 (Bankr. D.
Mont. Case No. 09-60452).  Gary S. Deschenes, Esq., at Deschenes &
Sullivan Law Offices assists Ms. Blixseth in her restructuring
efforts.  The Debtor estimated $100 million to $500 million in
assets and $500 million to $1 billion in debts.  The Debtor's case
was converted from a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7 by Court order
entered May 29, 2009.

                     About Timothy Blixseth

Tax officials from California, Montana and Idaho on April 5, 2011,
filed an involuntary-bankruptcy petition under Chapter 7 against
Timothy Blixseth in Las Vegas, Nevada (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No.
11-15010).  The three states that signed the petition against the
Yellowstone Club co-founder claim they are owed $2.3 million in
back taxes.  A copy of the petition is available for free at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/nvb11-15010.pdf

In May 2011, Mr. Blixseth persuaded the bankruptcy judge to
dismiss the involuntary Chapter 7 petition.  The bankruptcy judge
didn't reach the issue of whether Mr. Blixseth is bankrupt.
Instead, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Bruce A. Markell ruled that the
involuntary petition shouldn't have been filed in Nevada because
Mr. Blixseth neither lived nor worked there, Mr. Blixseth said in
a statement.  Although the petition was dismissed, Judge Markell
is allowing the state of Montana to refile the petition in a
proper location.

Mr. Blixseth and his former wife, Edra Blixseth, founded the
Yellowstone Club, near Big Sky, Montana, in 2000 as a ski resort
for millionaires looking for vacation homes.  Members paid
$205 million for 72 properties in 2005 alone.

Bloomberg News, citing a court ruling by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Ralph B. Kirscher, says the couple took cash for their personal
use from a $375 million loan arranged by Credit Suisse.  Finances
at the club deteriorated thereafter, and the club eventually went
bankrupt, Judge Kirscher found.  Mr. Blixseth was ordered to pay
$40 million to the club's creditors under a September ruling by
Judge Kirscher.  Mr. Blixseth said he's appealing that judgment.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas has

EMISPHERE TECHNOLOGIES: Novartis Reports Results of SMC021 Study
----------------------------------------------------------------
Emisphere Technologies, Inc., has been informed by Novartis Pharma
AG that Novartis has released first interpretable results from its
three-year Phase III Study 2303 assessing the safety and efficacy
of oral calcitonin (SMC021) in the treatment of post-menopausal
osteoporosis, conducted by its license partner Nordic Bioscience
A/S.

According to Novartis, the FIR review found that, while Study 2303
observed the desired biological effect, a statistically
significant treatment effect for the increase in lumbar spine bone
mineral density in the SMC021 treatment group relative to placebo,
the study failed to demonstrate a statistically significant
treatment effect between treatment groups on the reduction of the
occurrence of new vertebral fractures at three years, the primary
endpoint of the study.  In addition, according to Novartis, no
statistically significant response was observed on key secondary
endpoints: e.g. new non-vertebral fractures or new clinical
fractures.  This preliminary analysis of data also showed that
SMC021 displayed a positive safety profile.

Novartis has not provided Emisphere with any further data from
Study 2303 at this time.  However, Novartis did inform the Company
that Study 2303 observed fewer overall vertebral fractures than
expected.  Novartis also informed the Company that they will
further analyze and evaluate the results of Study 2303 in
osteoporosis, as well as data from Phase III Studies 2301 and 2302
in osteoarthritis, prior to making a decision on the continuation
of the SMC021 program in both indications.  In addition, the
Company will require additional information from Novartis in order
to further analyze and evaluate the results of Study 2303 in
osteoporosis, as well as data from Phase III Studies 2301 and 2302
in osteoarthritis, in order to fully understand the methodologies
and results of those studies.

The Company's other development programs are continuing with Novo
Nordisk A/S using Emisphere's Eligen Technology to develop and
commercialize oral formulations of Novo Nordisk's insulins and
GLP-1 receptor agonists, with a potential GLP-1 drug currently in
a Phase I clinical trial; and with the Company's internally
developed oral formulation of Eligen B12 (1000 mcg.) for use by
B12 deficient individuals undergoing evaluation of regulatory and
commercial development options.

Since its inception in 1986, Emisphere has generated significant
losses from operations.  Emisphere anticipates it will continue to
generate significant losses from operations for the foreseeable
future, and that its business will require substantial additional
investment that it has not yet secured.

As reported by the TCR on April 5, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, in New York, noted that the Company has experienced recurring
operating losses, has limited capital resources and has
significant future commitments that raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company reported a net loss of $56.91 million on $100,000 of
revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss
of $16.82 million on $92,000 of revenue during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $4.76 million on $0 of
revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a
net loss of $38.75 million on $55,000 of net sales for the same
period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $6.47
million in total assets, $90.91 million in total liabilities, and
a $84.43 million total stockholders' deficit.


EMMIS COMMUNCATIONS: Zell Agrees to Buy $35MM Unsecured Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Emmis Communications Corporation, on Nov. 10, 2011, entered into a
Note Purchase Agreement with Zell Credit Opportunities Master
Fund, L.P.  Under the Note Purchase Agreement, Zell has agreed to
purchase up to $35,000,000 of unsecured notes.  Emmis will be
permitted to sell the Notes to Zell on up to four separate
occasions on or before Feb. 2, 2012.  The net proceeds from the
Notes are expected to be used to enter into agreements enabling
Emmis to ultimately acquire its 6.25% Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Notes Purchase Agreement
provides that Preferred Stock purchases may be completed through
privately negotiated transactions with individual Preferred Stock
holders using a total return swap or escrow arrangement or through
a tender offer.  Interest on the Notes is not payable in cash and
will accrue quarterly at a rate of 22.95 percent per annum.  The
Notes will mature in February of 2015 and are subject to (i)
certain restrictions comparable to those in Emmis' senior secured
credit facility, including the prohibition of any dividend
payments on Emmis' capital stock and certain restrictions on the
ability of Emmis to incur additional indebtedness and (ii)
restrictions on repayment of the Notes prior to their final
maturity date.  The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities.

On Nov. 10, 2011, Emmis and certain of its subsidiaries entered
into an amendment of their senior secured credit facility to allow
for the entry of the Note Purchase Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the certain securities purchase agreements and
which made Emmis subject to the covenants contained in such credit
facility.

Emmis has entered into securities purchase agreements with certain
holders of its Preferred Stock.  The transactions will settle
pursuant to the terms of total return swaps or escrow
arrangements, the terms of which provide that until final
settlement of these arrangements, the seller agrees to vote its
shares in accordance with the prior written instructions of Emmis.
Emmis may enter into additional transactions to purchase its
Preferred Stock in the future.

                    About Emmis Communications

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Emmis Communications
Corporation -- http://www.emmis.com/-- owns and operates 22 radio
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.

The Company's balance sheet at Aug. 31, 2011, showed $471.19
million in total assets, $479.49 million in total liabilities,
$140.45 million in Series A cumulative convertible preferred
stock, and a $148.75 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.

Based in New York, EOS Preferred Corporation (formerly Capital
Crossing Preferred Corporation) is a Massachusetts corporation

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  As a REIT, EOS will not be
required to pay federal or state income tax if it distributes its
earnings to its shareholders and continues to meet a number of
other requirements.

As reported by the TCR on April 6, 2011, Ernst & Young LLP, in New
York, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.  On Sept. 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers
Holdings Inc., indirect parent company to Aurora Bank FSB, and
ultimate parent company of EOS Preferred Corporation, filed a
voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Aurora Bank, the sole owner of the common stock of EOS Preferred
Corporation, is subject to a Cease and Desist Order, dated Jan.
26, 2009, and a Prompt Corrective Action Directive, dated Feb. 4,
2009, issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision, requiring Aurora
Bank, among other matters, to submit a capital restoration plan
and a liquidity management plan, and imposing restrictions on
certain activities of Aurora Bank and EOS Preferred Corporation.
According to the independent auditors, the bankruptcy of Lehman
Brothers and the ability of the OTS to regulate and restrict the
business and operations of EOS Preferred Corporation, in light of
the Cease and Desist Order and the Prompt Corrective Action
Directive, raise substantial doubt about EOS Preferred
Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.

Under his leadership, Evergreen verified the superior capacities
of the K-Fuel process and implemented a strategy, including
Southern Coal Holdings, to commence commercialization of the
technology.  While the Board will miss Mr. Khan's and Mr. Moss's
leadership and valuable contributions, their resignations will
allow them to focus on current negotiations associated with the
pending Stanhill offer.  Evergreen is in strong hands with the
remaining executive team, including the recent addition of Judy
Tanselle as President," commented Richard Perl, Co-Chair of the
Company's Board of Directors.

EVERGREEN ENERGY: Delays Filing of Form 10-Q for 3rd Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
Evergreen Energy Inc. was unable to file its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2011, on the due date
because its management has not completed its final review of the
quarterly report.  In addition, a material subsequent event
occurred on Nov. 13, 2011, that requires modification to the 10-Q.
The Company requires additional time to complete compilation of
disclosures contained in the Form 10-Q and allow for sufficient
time for a third party processor to convert the filing to the XBRL
format.  The Company was unable to eliminate delays as they relate
to these matters without unreasonable effort or expense.  The

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that with 9.2% of the stock as of Sept. 30, Franklin is
the second-largest shareholder, according to data compiled by
Bloomberg.  The only larger holding is by Marcy Syms, the
company's chairman.  As an insider, she was ineligible for
committee service.  There is an official equity committee in
recognition of the possibility that Syms is solvent.

According to the report, at a hearing, the bankruptcy court in New
York gave authorization to conduct going-out-of-business sales at
all 46 stores.

The report relates that responding to objections from some
creditors, the agreement with the liquidators was improved, the
Company's lawyer told the judge.  In answer to an objection by
Esopus, proceeds from the Syms and Filene's stores will be
segregated.  The shareholder wanted segregation because it
believes Filene's won't generate enough to pay its creditors in
full while Syms will.

FITZGERALD HARRIS: Individual Debtor's Sale-Leaseback Deal Nixed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Walter Shapero denied the request of Fitzgerald
Harris to sell his principal residence at 19402 Verna Lane,
Romulus, Michigan, as part of an amended bankruptcy plan, free and
clear of any liens; form a limited liability company that will buy
the home; and then either rent or purchase the home from the
company.  Everhome Mortgage Company challenged the proposal. Judge
Shapero said the Debtor cannot sell his principal residence free
and clear of Everhome's lien -- or the second mortgagee's lien --
and force Everhome to accept less than what it is owed on its
claim.

Fitzgerald Harris III filed a voluntary Chapter 13 petition and
then filed a motion to convert his case to one under Chapter 11
(Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No. 10-74280).  The Court granted that
motion.  The Debtor filed a Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement
and a First Amended Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.  The
Court granted Preliminary Approval of the Disclosure Statement.

Everhome holds a first mortgage on the Debtor's residence securing
its claim of $231,803.  Another creditor, First Tennessee Bank,
holds a second mortgage in the approximate amount of $74,718.

Under the amended plan, the Debtor proposes to pay Everhome
$150,000, the purported fair market value according to the Debtor,
in satisfaction of its first mortgage lien with the balance of
Everhome's claim being paid on a pro rata basis as an unsecured
claim.  Both Everhome and First Tennessee filed objections to the
Amended Plan.

The Debtor relies on 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363(f)(1) and (5) as basis for
permitting the sale.  The Debtor further claims that "detailed
market analysis and appraisals" demonstrate that the value of the
residence is substantially lower than Everhome's claim.  Everhome
objects to the motion arguing that none of the circumstances
permitting a sale under Sec. 363(f) are present and, because its
mortgage is secured by the Debtor's principal residence, its lien
is non-modifiable pursuant to Sec. 1123(b)(5).  At the motion
hearing, the Debtor abandoned his reliance on Sec. 363(f)(1) as a
basis for relief and instead proceeds solely under Sec. 363(f)(5).
According to the Debtor, the narrow legal issue is whether the
Debtor may sell his principal residence free of Everhome's lien
and compel Everhome to accept less than full satisfaction of its
claim.  Everhome agreed that was the issue, but reiterated its
position that Sec. 1123(b)(5) prohibits the Sec. 363(f)(5) sale.

FLEETPRIDE CORP: Moody's Rates Credit Facilities at 'B1'
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to FleetPride
Corporation's proposed credit agreement, consisting of a $60
million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2016 and a
$370 million senior secured term loan due 2017. Moody's also
affirmed the company's B2 corporate family rating and changed the
probability of default rating to B3 from B2. The ratings outlook
remains stable.

Ratings assigned:

Proposed $60 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
2016 at B1 (LGD3, 33%);

Proposed $370 million senior secured term loan B due 2017 at B1
(LGD3, 33%).

Rating affirmed:

Corporate family rating at B2.

Rating changed:

Probability of default rating to B3 from B2.

Ratings affirmed and to be withdrawn:

Senior secured revolving credit facility due 2012 at Ba2 (LGD2,
22%);

Senior secured term loan due 2013 at Ba2 (LGD2, 22%);

11.5% senior unsecured notes due 2014 at B3 (LGD5, 72%).

RATINGS RATIONALE

Proceeds from the proposed bank debt will be used to refinance
existing debt and for general corporate purposes. Moody's
favorably views the proposed transaction to the extent that it
improves the debt maturity profile and increases the cash balance.

The affirmation of the corporate family rating reflects Moody's
view that pro forma credit metrics are still consistent with the
ratings category, even as the financing increases debt levels. Pro
forma debt to EBITDA increases to 5.3 times from an actual level
of 4.9 times through the twelve months ended September 30, 2011
(including Moody's standard analytical adjustments and
incorporating the proposed refinancing). However, Moody's expects
positive comparable branch revenues will translate into improved
earnings such that debt to EBITDA declines below 5.0 times near-
term. The rating affirmation also considers favorable organic
growth trends in recent periods and Moody's expectation that
comparable branch revenues will remain positive despite uncertain
macroeconomic conditions.

FleetPride's B2 corporate family rating reflects its high pro
forma financial leverage with debt to EBITDA exceeding 5.0 times,
modest interest coverage with pro forma EBITA to interest of about
2.0 times, the cyclical nature of its end-market, and increasing
acquisition activity. Notwithstanding these risks, the rating also
considers the company's meaningful size and national geographic
footprint. The rating also considers an upturn in operating
performance since 2009 and associated improvement in credit
metrics as well as consistent free cash flow generation.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that FleetPride
will maintain recent improvements in revenues and earnings such
that debt to EBITDA is reduced below 5.0 times and EBITA to
interest exceeds 2.0 times near-term.

A ratings upgrade could result from continued improvements in
operating performance such that debt to EBITDA is sustained below
4.0 times and EBITA to interest coverage exceeds 2.5 times.

FleetPride's ratings could be downgraded if a cyclical downturn
causes operating performance to weaken such that debt to EBITDA
increases above 6.0 times and EBITA to interest falls below 1.5
times. Acquisition spending that exceeds expectations could also
result in ratings pressure.

Given that the company's proposed capital structure primarily
consists of first lien bank debt, the probability of default
rating was lowered one notch below the corporate family rating
(consistent with Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology).

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

Additional information can be found in the FleetPride Credit
Opinion published on Moodys.com.

FleetPride Corporation, based in The Woodlands, Texas, is an
independent U.S distributor of aftermarket heavy-duty truck and
trailer parts. Investcorp acquired the company in 2006.


FLEETPRIDE CORP: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Pos.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B' corporate credit
rating on FleetPride Corp. on CreditWatch with positive
implications. "At the same time, we assigned 'B+' ratings and a
'3' recovery rating to the company's proposed $60 million
revolver and $370 million term loan," S&P said.

"The CreditWatch listing reflects our view that, on completion of
the proposed financing, we would raise our corporate credit rating
to 'B+' with a stable outlook," explained Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Lawrence Orlowski. "In July 2011, we noted several
assumptions for FleetPride to reach a higher rating, including
leverage staying below 5x on a sustained basis and clarity around
the timeline and terms of the company's refinancing plans for the
June 2012 expiration of the bank revolver. In our view, the
company's performance in 2011 has been consistent with our
expectations for a higher rating. Moreover, the proposed financing
extends the maturity dates of the company's capital structure by
several years."

"We expect to resolve the CreditWatch shortly after the completion
of the company's refinancing of its existing indebtedness with its
lenders," added Mr. Orlowski. 'We currently expect to raise our
rating on FleetPride to 'B+' with a stable outlook with the
resolution of the CreditWatch. While our business risk descriptor
is likely to remain weak, the financial risk descriptor will
likely be changed to aggressive from highly leveraged."

GENERAL MARITIME: Oaktree to Provide $175MM Funding in Ch. 11 Case
------------------------------------------------------------------
General Maritime Corporation has reached agreements with its key
senior lenders, including its bank group, led by Nordea Bank
Finland plc, New York Branch as administrative agent, as well as
affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., on the terms of a
financial restructuring to strengthen the Company's balance sheet
and enhance its financial flexibility.

The restructuring agreement and related equity commitment letter
have the support of over two thirds of the Company's obligations
from its banks and Oaktree.  Among other things, under terms of
the agreements, Oaktree will provide a $175 million new equity
investment in General Maritime and convert its prepetition secured
debt to equity.  Under the terms of the agreement, General
Maritime expects to substantially reduce its funded indebtedness
and enhance its liquidity profile. Operations are expected to
continue without interruption.

In order to implement the terms of the restructuring agreement and
equity commitment letter, General Maritime Nov. 17 elected to file
for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York. Substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries - with the
exception of those in Portugal, Russia and Singapore as well as
certain inactive subsidiaries- have also commenced Chapter 11
cases.

In conjunction with the filing, General Maritime has received a
commitment for up to $100 million in new debtor-in-possession
(DIP) financing from a group of lenders led by Nordea as
administrative agent.  The initial amount of the DIP is $75
million, however, the credit facility contemplates that, if
needed, the Company will have access to another $25 million of
future financing, subject to the applicable lenders' agreement,
certain other conditions and further order of the Bankruptcy
Court.  Upon approval by the Bankruptcy Court, the new financing,
combined with cash generated from the Company's ongoing
operations, will provide substantial liquidity, be used to support
the business during the restructuring process and prevent customer
interruption.  General Maritime anticipates that it will continue
to meet its obligations going forward to its customers, vendors
and employees.

Jeffrey D. Pribor, Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are very
pleased to have reached these agreements with certain of our key
senior lenders, which we believe underscore their confidence in
our business and represents an important step forward for our
company and provides for a commitment of liquidity.  Our
operations are strong, but continued macroeconomic weakness and
reduced tanker rates have diminished our cash flow and our ability
to comply with certain covenants under our debt instruments.  We
are taking appropriate steps to align our capital structure, which
was put in place under a different economic climate, with the
realities of today's markets and economy.  Having reviewed the
options available, we determined that implementing these
agreements with our key lenders through court-supervised
proceedings will facilitate our financial restructuring and that
this is the best course of action for General Maritime.  This
restructuring process will allow us to continue to support our
customers, suppliers and employees while we work to enhance the
Company's position as a leading provider of international seaborne
oil transportation services."

"We look forward to working together with our creditors to
complete a successful financial restructuring. General Maritime
owns and operates one of the world's largest and most diverse
fleets of tankers, and we remain committed to safely and
efficiently serving our customers.  We appreciate the ongoing
dedication of our employees, whose hard work is critical to our
success and the future of our company.  We also thank our
customers, suppliers, lenders and business partners for their
support as we work to position General Maritime for profitable
growth," concluded Mr. Pribor.

Under the agreements, the parties agreed to support a plan of
reorganization for the Company that would include:

Oaktree's agreement to provide the reorganized Company with a new
$175 million equity investment, $75 million of which would be used
to pay down the Company's senior secured first lien facilities;

Oaktree's agreement to convert 100% of its senior secured debt
into equity of the reorganized Company; and

The Key Senior Lenders' agreement to amend their credit facilities
in order to provide the Company with relief in the form of an
amortization "holiday" until June 2014, deferring cash payments of
approximately $140 million for approximately two and a half years.

The restructuring agreement contemplates the negotiation of
definitive documents by December 2011, and provides that the
transaction be implemented pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan for
General Maritime that must become effective by April 2012.

The parties have agreed that the Company may continue to seek
alternative equity commitment proposals pursuant to the
restructuring agreement in accordance with its fiduciary duties.
As such, the Company may continue to solicit, respond to, and
negotiate the submission of alternative equity commitment
proposals as part of its Chapter 11 case.

The terms of the restructuring are subject to definitive
documentation and approval by the Bankruptcy Court, among other
conditions.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
transactions described herein will be effected.


                      About General Maritime

Based in New York City, General Maritime Corporation through its
subsidiaries provides international transportation services of
seaborne crude oil and petroleum products.  The Company's fleet is
comprised of VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax, Panamax and product carrier
vessels.  The Company operates its business in one business
segment, which is the transportation of international seaborne
crude oil and petroleum products.  The Company's vessels are
primarily available for charter on a spot voyage or time charter
basis.

The Company reported a net loss of $216.66 million on
$387.16 million of voyage revenue for the year ended Dec. 31,
2010, compared with a net loss of $11.99 million on $350.52
million of voyage revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $1.78 billion
in total assets, $1.44 billion in total liabilities, and $339.32
million in total shareholders' equity.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, in New York, expressed substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditor noted that the Company requires additional
financing in order to meet its debt obligations that will come due
over the next year.  In addition, the Company has current losses
from operations, a working capital deficit and the expectation
that certain of its loan covenants will not be achieved during
2011 without additional capital being raised, debt being
refinanced or covenants waived or amended.

                           *     *     *

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in December 2010 lowered its
long-term corporate rating on General Maritime Corp. to 'CCC+'
from 'B', and placed the ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

In the Sept. 6, 2011, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors
Service lowered its probability of default rating of General
Maritime to 'Caa3' from 'Caa1' and corporate family rating to
'Caa3' from 'B3'.  The outlook is negative.

The downgrade of the ratings to Caa3 reflects GenMar's still
tightening liquidity notwithstanding the recent issuance of junior
debt capital and relaxation of the minimum liquidity covenant of
its various debt facilities.  Moody's believes that seasonal
freight rates will remain close to current levels through most of
2012, because growth in ton-mile demand is unlikely to absorb
continuing excess vessel supply.  With the majority of the
company's current time-charter out contracts expiring in the next
12 to 15 months, GenMar will face increasing exposure to the
mainly lower spot market freight rates.  Moody's expects the
company to continue to have a difficult time achieving positive
operating cash flow, which could threaten its ability to make cash
interest payments.  The resultant overreliance on its cash
balance, which stood at almost $59 million at June 30, 2011 to
meet its operating and debt service requirements, could cause it
to fall out of compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant,
which the lenders recently agreed to lower to $35 million through
Dec. 31, 2011.

Victory Park Capital private equity firm has offered the top
auction bid of $61.6 million to buy Chicago's treasured Giordano's
deep dish pizza chain.

Heschmeyer at CoStar Group reports that Philip V. Martino, the

GRUBB & ELLIS: Reports $4.7 Million Net Income in Third Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Grubb & Ellis Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting net income
of $4.79 million on $128.69 million of total revenue for the three
months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $15.31
million on $129.02 million of total revenue for the same period
during the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of $69.7 million on $575.5 million
of revenues for 2010, compared with a net loss of $80.5 million on
$527.9 million of revenues for 2009.

The Company also reported a net loss of $28.61 million on
$378.90 million of total revenue for the nine months ended Sept.
30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $58.56 million on
$372.38 million of total revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$149.77 million in total assets, $152.74 million in total
liabilities, $98.89 million in preferred stock, and a
$101.85 million total deficit.

The Company said it may seek additional financing prior to the
completion of its review of strategic alternatives.  It is
anticipated that any strategic alternative would include
provisions to extend, retire or refinance the Colony credit
facility at or prior to maturity.  If the Company is unable to
extend, retire or refinance the Colony credit facility prior to
maturity, it could create substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve month period
following the date of these financial statements.  The Company
believes that upon completion of its strategic alternative process
the Company will have sufficient liquidity to operate in the
normal course over the next twelve month period.

Guitar Center, Inc., headquartered in Westlake Village, Calif., is

direct response segment, which operates its websites.  It operates
three distinct musical retail business - Guitar Center (about 70%

Total revenue is about $2 billion.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 28, 2011,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Guitar Center, Inc.'s Caa2
Corporate Family Rating and the $622 million existing term loan
rating of Caa1 due October 2014.  The Probability of Default
Rating was revised to Caa2/LD from Caa2 while the Speculative
Grade Liquidity assessment was changed to SGL-2 from SGL-3.  The
rating outlook remains stable.

The Caa2/LD Probability of Default rating reflects Moody's view
that the extended deferral of interest on the Holdco notes
constitutes a distressed exchange under Moody's definition and
also anticipates that additional exchanges of this nature are
possible over the near term.  The Limited Default designation was
prompted by the company's executed amendment of the HoldCo notes,
which allows for a deferral of 50% of the interest payments for 18
months.  Moody's views this as a distressed exchange that provides
default avoidance.  This LD designation applies to the proposed
follow-on amendment to defer the HoldCo note interest payments by
another six months.  Subsequent to the actions, Moody's will
remove the LD designation and the PDR will be Caa2 going forward.


HARRISBURG, PA: Majority of City Council Vote for Chapter 9
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the majority of the city council in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, that voted for a Chapter 9 municipal debt adjustment
submitted papers on Nov. 14 countering the state's contentions
that a state law prohibited bankruptcy.

The state relied on a law known as Act 26 which prohibited cities
of Harrisburg's size from filing bankruptcy before July 2012.

According to the report, in papers written by lawyer Mark
Schwartz, the city council majority contends that Act 26 is
unenforceable because it violates the Equal Protection Clauses of
the state and federal constitutions.  Mr. Schwartz's papers argue
that the proper governing statute is Act 47. Laying out reasons
why the city properly invoked state law, he contends that Act 47
governs the process by which localities are permitted to file
bankruptcy.

The report relates that where the state contended that the city
violated numerous laws prescribing how and when local laws take
effect, the city council points to Act 47 as requiring nothing
more than a majority vote from the local governing body.

The bankruptcy court in Harrisburg will hold a hearing on Nov. 23
to consider the state's motion to dismiss the Oct. 11 bankruptcy
filing as unauthorized and in violation of state law.

                 About Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

The city of Harrisburg, in Pennsylvania, is coping with debt
related to a failed revamp of an incinerator.  The city is
$65 million in default on $242 million owing on bonds sold to
finance an incinerator that converts trash to energy.

Four members of the City Council of Harrisburg on Oct. 11, 2011,
authorized the filing of a Chapter 9 bankruptcy petition (Bankr.
M.D. Pa. Case No. 11-06938) by the City of Harrisburg.  Judge Mary
D. France presides over the case.  Mark D. Schwartz, Esq. --
markschwartz6814@gmail.com -- and David A. Gradwohl, Esq., serve
as counsel.  The petition estimated $100 million to $500 million
in assets and debts.  Susan Wilson, the city's chairperson on
Budget and Finance, signed the petition.

The city council voted 4-3 on Oct. 11, 2011, to authorize the
Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy filing. The city claims to be
insolvent, unable to pay its debt and in imminent danger of having
tax revenue seized by holders of defaulted bonds.

The city said in court papers it is in imminent jeopardy through
six pending legal actions by creditors with respect to a number of
outstanding bond issues relating to the Harrisburg Materials,
Energy, Recycling and Recovery Facilities, which processes waste
into steam and electrical energy.  The owner and operator of the
incinerator is The Harrisburg Authority, which is unable to pay
the bond issues.  The city is the primary guarantor under each
bond issue.  The lawsuits were filed by Dauphin County, where
Harrisburg is located, Joseph and Jacalyn Lahr, TD Bank N.A., and
Covanta Harrisburg Inc.

Two days after the Chapter 9 filing on Oct. 11, the state of
Pennsylvania filed a motion to dismiss the case as being
unauthorized. Later, the state adopted a new law allowing the
governor to appoint a receiver who may join those seeking
dismissal.

Harrisburg Mayor Linda D. Thompson and the state of Pennsylvania
have objected to the bankruptcy filing.  Mayor Thompson is
represented in the case by Kenneth W. Lee, Esq., Christopher E.
Fisher, Esq., Beverly Weiss Manne, Esq., and Michael A. Shiner,
Esq., at Tucker Arensberg, P.C.  Counsel to the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania are Neal D. Colton, Esq., Jeffrey G. Weil, Esq., Eric
L. Scherling, Esq., at Cozen O'Connor.

HELLAS TELECOM: Noteholders File $104-Mil. Suit Against PE Firms
----------------------------------------------------------------
Samuel Howard at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that noteholders of
Hellas Telecommunications Sarl on Tuesday sued private equity
firms TPG Capital LP and Apax Partners LLP to recover more than
EUR77 million ($104 million) they pocketed while allegedly driving
the telecom into insolvency.

TPG and Apax acquired the profitable cellphone company formerly
called Tim Hellas Communications SA in 2005 and pursued a
breakneck expansion, borrowing vast sums, including EUR1.5 billion
($2.2 billion), from noteholders, which the buyout firms used to
reward themselves despite burying the company in debt, according
to the complaint obtained by Law360.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Nov. 30,
2009, Bloomberg News said the English High Court approved an order
to place Hellas II into administration.  Maggie Mills and Alan
Hudson were appointed by the court as joint administrators to
Hellas II, Bloomberg disclosed, citing a statement from Ernst &
Young.


HMC/CAH CONSOLIDATED: Can Use Cash Colleteral Until Dec. 31
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri has
authorized HMC/CAH Consolidated, Inc., to use cash collateral
until the earliest of (i) the close of business on Dec. 31, 2011,
or (ii) the conclusion of the final hearing on the Cash Collateral
Motion authorizing the Debtors' continued use of Cash Collateral,
as limited by a budget.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 27, 2011,
the Debtors' capital structure is comprised of:

     (A) Accounts Receivables Financing

Pursuant to a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2010,
provided a secured revolving Credit Facility in the maximum
amount of $6,000,000.  The amounts borrowed under the A/R Facility
were used to fund general working capital requirements.  As of the
Petition Date, roughly $4,600,000 was outstanding under the A/R
Facility.  As of the Petition Date there was no remaining
availability under the A/R Facility.  Pursuant to the A/R
Facility, the Debtor A/R Borrowers granted first priority liens
and security interests in favor of Gemino in substantially all of
the Debtor A/R Borrowers' personal property assets.

     (B) Mezzanine Financing

The lynchpin of HMC/CAH's business plan is to replace the old Hill
Burton facilities of its hospitals with new state-of-the-state
facilities.  HMC/CAH typically acquires a rural hospital from a
local municipality or, in some instances, private ownership.
Because of the state of the rural hospitals, these acquisition
costs have typically been very low, in some instances, HMC/CAH was
able to acquire the hospitals merely by assuming the existing
liabilities of prior ownership.

Upon acquisition, HMC/CAH typically starts the replacement process
at the closing of the acquisition with the concurrent purchase of
a 15 acre replacement site.  In most instances this is adjacent to
the existing hospital.  Thereafter, HMC/CAH begins the design,
engineering, and architecture of the new replacement facility.

There are several federally sponsored loan programs, including
programs through the United States Department of Agriculture or
through Housing and Urban Development.

Through these programs, generally HMC/CAH may obtain a loan of 80%
of the construction costs, convertible to permanent mortgage
financing upon completion of construction, and either USDA or HUD
will provide a 90% loan guaranty to the local community lender
providing the construction financing.

Under these programs, HMC/CAH must raise the funds to (a) acquire
the prior CAH certified hospital, (b) purchase the land to build
the new facility; and (c) pay the 20% of the construction costs
not loaned through the USDA and HUD programs.

To fund these obligations, HPCG Hospital Investment LLC, an
Arizona limited liability company entered into a Master Funding
Agreement and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
August 21, 2009, with the Debtor Mezzanine Borrowers.

For purposes of CMS cost reporting, each Mezzanine Borrower
executed a separate note for those amounts funded under the
Mezzanine Funding Agreement related to its facility only.  As such
while each of the Debtor Mezzanine Borrowers borrowed funds under
the Mezzanine Funding Agreement, each Debtor Mezzanine Borrower is
responsible only for those obligations borrowed for its facility.

As of the Petition Date, $13,983,987 was outstanding under the
Mezzanine Funding Agreement.

Pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated as of Aug. 21, 2009, the
Debtor Mezzanine Borrowers granted liens and security interests in
favor of HHI in substantially all of the Debtor Mezzanine
Borrowers' personal property assets.  The lien rights are cross-
collateralized among the Debtor Mezzanine Borrowers.

HHI agreed to provide HMC/CAH with more than $25,000,000 in funds
for hospital facility acquisition and replacement opportunities.
With regard to funding the replacement of the facilities, HMC/CAH
and HHI would work together to obtain a construction-to-permanent
loan from a local or regional bank for 70%-80% of the total
project costs.  Generally, speaking loans of this sort have not
been available unless the repayment of the loan is guaranteed to
the bank by the United States Department of Agriculture under its
Rural Development Program. The remainder of the project costs
constituting the "paid-in capital" or owner's equity for the
replacement project was to be funded directly by HHI, or HHI would
act in good faith and use its reasonable best efforts to arrange
for one of its affiliates or a third-party to provide the
financing.  HHI's financing was due by the closing of the loan
with the bank.

     (C) Lauderdale Financing

Debtor CAH Acquisition Company # 11 and CFG Community Bank are
parties to a Loan Agreement dated March 31, 2010, pursuant to
which CFG loaned to CAH 11 $2,502,701.  As of the Petition Date,
$2,502,710 was outstanding under the CFG Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the CFG Loan Agreement, CAH 11 granted CFG a security
interest in and to all personal property of CAH 11. Additionally,
CAH 11 executed a Mortgage on the CAH Hospital's real property in
favor of CFG.

Pursuant to a certain Subordination Agreement between CFG, CAH 11
and HHI, HHI agreed to subordinate any security interests in CAH
11's assets to CFG.  Additionally, HHI agreed that it was an
unsecured creditor of CAH 11 and would remain so as long as any
debt was outstanding to CFG by CAH 11 under the Loan Agreement.

     (D) I-70 Financing

Debtor CAH Acquisition Company # 6, HMC/CAH and First Liberty Bank
are parties to a Loan Agreement dated as of Dec. 6, 2010, pursuant
to which First Liberty loaned CAH 6 $9,300,000 which loan has a
USDA Guarantee.  As of the Petition Date, $9,195,960 was
outstanding under the First Liberty Loan Agreement.  CAH 6 granted
a security in, among other things, (a) furniture, fixtures and
equipment, and (b) all accounts, including Health Care Insurance
Receivables.  CAH 6 also executed a Deed of Trust in favor of
First Liberty Bank with respect to the CAH Hospital's real
property in Sweet Springs, Missouri.

On Jan. 25, 2011, a group of HMC/CAH's shareholders and
shareholder affiliates, consisting of Larry Arthur, Richard Jones,
Rosalia Hall, Sun Finance, DFP, LLC, Fidelity Security Life
Insurance Company, made a short term working capital loan of
$2,300,000 to HMC/CAH and its subsidiaries secured by, among other
things, a security interest accounts receivables and general
intangibles of CAH 6.

     (E) Drumwright Financing

Debtor CAH Acquisition Company # 4 assumed the liabilities of the
Drumwright Municpal Healthcare Authority on a Mortgage Note dated
Oct. 15, 2003 in the original principal amount of $7,666,000
granted in favor of Midland Loan Services, Inc., as servicer for
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.  As of the
Petition Date, $6,629,121 was outstanding under the Midland Loan
Agreement.

CAH 4 granted a security interest in accounts and the furniture,
fixtures and equipment located at the CAH Hospital.  Additionally,
CAH 4 acquired the real property of the CAH Hospital subject to
the existing real estate mortgage in favor of Midland Loan
Servicing, Inc. for HUD.

     (F) Oswego Financing

Debtor CAH Acquisition Company # 1 executed Promissory Note in
favor of Citizens Bank, N.A., for $1,646,688.  As of the Petition
Date, $1,452,948 was outstanding under the Citizens Loan
Agreement.  Pursuant to the Security Agreement, CAH 1 pledged a
security interest in all assets and granted a real estate mortgage
on the CAH 1 Hospital.  Additionally, Citizens has a security
agreement on all of the assets of CAH 2 and a real estate mortgage
on CAH 2's CAH Hospital.

The mezzanine lender to certain of the Debtors, HPCG Hospital
Investment, has refused to meet its funding obligations with
regard to certain of the Debtors' hospital projects and has been
the primary cause of the Debtors' filings pursuant to chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code.

HHI's breaches of its funding agreement have had the dual negative
repercussions of: (i) causing certain Debtors to breach their
obligations related to the hospital projects; and (ii) causing
certain Debtors to suffer from an overly restrictive Advance Rate
under their accounts receivable facility.  The net effect of HHI's
breaches is that the Debtors do not have sufficient liquidity to
continue their businesses and have been forced to seek chapter 11
relief.

The Court noted that the Debtors do not have sufficient available
sources of working capital and financing to carry on the operation
of their businesses without the use of Cash Collateral.  The
Debtors' ability to preserve their relationships with employees,
vendors and suppliers and to otherwise finance their operations is
essential to the Debtors' continued viability and to their ability
to provide critical healthcare to rural residents.

As adequate protection, each of the lenders is granted a post-
petition replacement lien, in Cash Collateral and accounts
receivables generated post-petition, equal to the diminution, if
any, subsequent to the Petition Date, in value of the Lenders'
interests in the Cash Collateral.  Each replacement lien will have
the same validity, extent and priority as the lien(s) the
Lender had on Debtors' accounts receivables as of the Petition
Date.  To the extent that the replacement liens are inadequate to
protect a particular creditor from any diminution in value of its
interest, if any, in Cash Collateral, then the creditor will be
entitled to rights allowable under Section 507(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

                   Committee's Limited Objection

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has been working
with the Debtors and several of its allegedly secured prepetition
lenders on terms of a proposed agreed interim order granting the
Motion.  However, the Committee only received a proposed six month
budget on Nov. 7, 2011 and a revised six-month budget on Nov. 8,
2011.  At this time, the Committee is unsure whether its comments
will be incorporated into the proposed interim order that the
Debtors and the Lenders intend to submit for consideration at
tomorrow's hearing on the Motion.  Therefore, the Committee files
this Objection in order to ensure that unsecured creditors'
concerns are satisfactorily addressed in the next interim, and
ultimately any final, order concerning the Motion.

months ended Sept. 30, 2011, could not be filed by the prescribed

IMH FINANCIAL: Delays Filing of Form 10-Q for 3rd Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------
IMH Financial Corporation was unable, without unreasonable effort
or expense, to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended Sept. 30, 2011, within the prescribed time period
because the Company requires additional time to finalize the
collateral reviews and valuation analyses on its loan portfolio
and real estate owned in order to ensure proper recognition of
revenues, expenses and loan loss allowance requirements.  The on-
going market volatility in real estate values have made collateral
reviews and valuation analyses more involved and complex, thereby
requiring the Company to take additional time to complete its
financial information as reported on Form 10-Q.  The Company
intends to file all documents required for its Form 10-Q as soon
as practicable, but in any event on or before the extended
Nov. 21, 2011, deadline.

                         About IMH Financial

Scottsdale, Ariz.-based IMH Financial Corporation was formed from
the conversion of IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC, or the Fund, a
Delaware limited liability company, on June 18, 2010.  The
conversion was effected following a consent solicitation process
pursuant to which approval was obtained from a majority of the
members of the Fund to effect the Conversion Transactions and
involved (i) the conversion of the Fund from a Delaware limited
liability company into a Delaware corporation named IMH Financial
Corporation, and (ii) the acquisition by the Company of all of the
outstanding shares of the manager of the Fund Investors Mortgage
Holdings Inc., or the Manager, as well as all of the outstanding
membership interests of a related entity, IMH Holdings LLC, or
Holdings on June 18, 2010.

The Company is a commercial real estate lender based in the
southwest United States with over 12 years of experience in many
facets of the real estate investment process, including
origination, underwriting, documentation, servicing, construction,
enforcement, development, marketing, and disposition.  The Company
focuses on a niche segment of the real estate market that it
believes is underserved by community, regional and national banks:
high yield, short-term, senior secured real estate mortgage loans.
The intense level of underwriting analysis required in this
segment necessitates personnel and expertise that many community
banks lack, yet the requisite localized market knowledge of the
underwriting process and the size of the loans the Company seeks
often precludes the regional and community banks from efficiently
entering this market.

"Given the current state of the real estate and credit markets, we
believe the realization of full recovery of the cost basis in our
assets is unlikely to occur in a reasonable time frame and may not
occur at all, and we may be required to liquidate portions of our
assets for liquidity purposes at a price significantly below the
initial cost basis or potentially below current carrying values.
If we are not able to liquidate a sufficient portion of our assets
or access credit under the credit facility currently under
negotiation, there may be substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, we believe that our
cash and cash equivalents, coupled with liquidity derived from the
credit facility currently under negotiation and the disposition of
certain of the loans and real estate held for sale, will allow us
to fund current operations over the next 12 months," the Company
said in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2010.

The Company reported a net loss of $117.04 million on
$3.75 million of total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $74.47 million on $22.52 million of
total revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $264.97
million in total assets, $76.15 million in total liabilities and
$188.82 million in total stockholders' equity.

As reported by the TCR on April 20, 2011, BDO USA, LLP, in
Phoenix, Arizona, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company has suffered recurring losses and is not
currently generating sufficient cash flows to sustain operations


INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Corp. Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
El Segundo, Calif.-based International Rectifier Corp. (IRF) to
positive from stable and affirmed the existing 'BB-' corporate
credit ratings on the company.

"The revision of the outlook to positive reflects IRF's modestly
improved business risk profile through the industry recovery, as
its good revenue growth and enhanced profitability demonstrate,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andrew Chang. "Macro
headwinds facing the semiconductor industry and continued elevated
capital spending are likely to lead to weaker revenues and
moderately negative free operating cash flow over the near term,
but we expect IRF's 'significant' financial profile and adequate
liquidity to remain intact."


I/OMAGIC CORP: Incurs $445,000 Net Loss in Third Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------
I/OMagic Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss
of $445,266 on $640,740 of net sales for the three months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $99,002 on $1.31
million of net sales for the same period during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $1.12 million on
$2.41 million of net sales for the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $268,544 on $4.93 million of net
sales for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $916,749 in
total assets, $4.64 million in total liabilities, and a
$3.72 million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported in the TCR on March 8, 2011, Simon & Edward, LLP, in
City of Industry, Calif., expressed substantial doubt about
I/OMagic's ability to continue as a going concern, following the
Company's results for fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2010.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred
significant operating losses, has serious liquidity concerns and
may require additional financing in the foreseeable future.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

If the Company's net losses continue or increase, the Company
could experience significant additional shortages of liquidity and
its ability to purchase inventory and to operate its business may
be significantly impaired, which could lead to further declines in
its results of operations and financial condition.  Inability to
fund the Company's operations may require the Company to
substantially curtail its operations and may require that the
Company seeks protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code,
which will likely result in a complete loss of any investment in
shares of the Company's common stock.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$5.45 million in total assets, $7.58 million in total liabilities,
and a $2.13 million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported by the TCR on April 1, 2011, Grant Thornton LLP, in
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Grant Thornton
noted that the industry in which the Company is operating has been
impacted by a number of factors and accordingly, the Company has
experienced a significant reduction in its sales volume.  Grant
Thornton added that for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, the Company
has a loss from continuing operations of approximately $596,000.

S. Daniel Ponce, Imperial's Chairman of the Board, stated: "The
on-going recessionary conditions in the construction industry
continue to result in lower demand for Company products from
historical levels and have adversely affected sales, operating
results and cash flows in the third quarter of 2011.  We are
concentrating our efforts on initiatives to expand and improve our
product line offerings, as well as our geographic reach, in an
effort to generate additional revenues to augment our core
operations while remaining focused on our goal of controlling
costs and maintaining liquidity until residential and commercial
construction activity increases above near record lows.  In
addition, as the Company continues to generate negative cash
flows, management has begun focusing its efforts to secure debt or
equity financing to generate additional funds for operations."

                        About Jameson Inns

Founded in 1987, Jameson is a chain of 103 small, budget hotels
operating under the Jameson brand in the Southeast and Midwest.
The Jameson properties are operated under the names Jameson Inn
and Signature Inn.  The hotels are based in Smyrna, Georgia.

The chain was taken private in a 2006 buyout by JER Partners, a
unit of real-estate investor J.E. Robert Cos.  JER then put $330
million of debt on the chain to finance the buyout.  At the top of
the list is a $175 million mortgage loan with Wells Fargo Bank NA
serving as special servicer.  There are four tranches of mezzanine
loans, each for $40 million.  The collateral for each of the Mezz
Loans is the equity interest in the entity or entities immediately
below the borrower of each Mezz Loan.  All of the mezzanine loans
matured in August.

JER/Jameson NC Properties LP and JER/Jameson Properties LLC are
borrowers under the loan with Wells Fargo.  The mortgage loan is
secured by mortgages on hotel properties.  The first set of
foreclosure sales were set for Nov. 1, 2011.  The Mortgage
Borrowers have not sought bankruptcy protection.

Colony Capital affiliates, CDCF JIH Funding LLC and ColFin JIH
Funding LLC, hold the first and second mezzanine loans.  The First
Mezz Loan is secured by a pledge of JER/Jameson Mezz Borrower I
LLC's 100% interest in the Mortgage Borrowers.

Prior to the maturity default, the Colony JIH Lenders purchased
the Second Mezz Loan from a previous holder.  The Second Mezz Loan
is secured by a pledge of JER/Jameson Mezz Borrower II's 100%
membership interest in the First Mezz Borrower.

Gramercy Warehouse Funding I LLC and Gramercy Loan Services LLC
hold a controlling participation interest in the Third Mezz and
Fourth Mezz Loans.  JER Investors Trust Inc. holds the remaining
participation interests in the Third Mezz and Fourth Mezz Loans.
JER/Jameson Holdco LLC, an affiliate of the Mortgage Borrowers,
owns the 100% equity interest in the Fourth Mezz Borrower.
Gramercy took over its mezzanine borrower in August.

JER/Jameson Mezz Borrower II LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 11-13338) on Oct. 18, 2011, to prevent
foreclosure by Colony.  The Chapter 11 filing had the effect of
preventing Colony from wiping out Gramercy's interest.

Seven days later, JER/Jameson Mezz Borrower I LLC filed for
bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 11-13392) on Oct. 25, 2011.

Judge Mary F. Walrath presides over the case.  Laura Davis Jones,
Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, serves as counsel to
both Debtors.

Each of the Debtors estimated $100 million to $500 million in
assets and $10 million to $50 million in debts.  The petitions
were signed by James L. Gregory, vice president.

Colony specializes in real estate and has roughly $34 billion of
assets under management.  Colony is represented in the case by
Pauline K. Morgan, Esq., John T. Dorsey, Esq., Margaret Whiteman
Greecher, Esq., and Patrick A. Jackson, Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor LLP; and Lindsee P. Granfield, Esq., Sean A.

KOPPERS HOLDINGS: Moody's Affirms 'Ba3' Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the outlook for Koppers Holdings
Inc. (KH) to stable from positive. Moody's also affirmed the
ratings of KH (Ba3 Corporate Family Rating) and its subsidiaries
(see list below). The move to a stable outlook reflects the
expectation that financial metrics will not reach levels that
would justify a higher rating over the next 12-18 months, despite
reasonably good financial performance and balance sheet debt
reduction over the last few years. Debt on an adjusted basis has
remained relatively unchanged. In addition, the move to a stable
outlook reflects Moody's concern that management may undertake
acquisitions to boost top line growth with the prospect of
increased debt, notwithstanding an increase in cash flows. Hence
Moody's believes that the stable outlook is more consistent with
the expectation for KH's more modest organic growth and financial
metrics that remain close to levels it has generated over the past
several years.

"The stable outlook reflects our assumption that excess free cash
flow is likely to be used to support growth initiatives as
management is willing to take on leverage that would increase
balance sheet leverage, on an unadjusted basis, to levels in
excess of 2.5 times with the intent of delevering as cash flows
permit," said Moody's analyst Bill Reed.

Ratings affirmed:

   Issuer: Koppers Holdings Inc.

   -- Corporate Family Rating, Ba3

   -- Probability of Default Rating, Ba3

   -- Issuer: Koppers Inc.

   -- Senior Unsecured guaranteed notes due 2019, B1 - LGD4, 69%

   Outlook Moved to Stable from Positive

RATIONALE

KH's Ba3 CFR reflects continued strong financial performance. The
ratings are further supported by geographic diversity, strong
market shares in certain business segments, favorable cost
positions, demonstrated stability in a difficult economic
environment, and a dearth of available substitutes for its
products. The ratings are constrained by high customer
concentrations, elevated environmental risks associated with
carbon-based chemical materials notwithstanding existing
indemnifications, and a considerable number of items that could
potentially consume cash in the future including product liability
lawsuits, legal costs, plant closure costs, and to a lesser degree
operating leases and an underfunded pension plan.

Since the end of December 2006 KH has successfully reduced balance
sheet debt, repaying over $160 million, to the current level of
$310 million representing a debt reduction of 65%. During the same
period Moody's combined debt adjustments for pensions and
operating leases increased from $193 million to $330 million at
the end of September 2011, an increase in debt adjustments of over
$137 million. Including Moody's adjustments, adjusted debt of $669
million at the end of 2006 is essentially flat with the adjusted
debt of $640 million as calculated for the quarter ended September
30, 2011. While management suggests that KH has effectively
delevered to the extent that the current balance sheet is viewed
as strong, as reflected in leverage of total debt to EBITDA of 2.2
times. Moody's views leverage on an adjusted basis as approaching
3.3 times.

KH's ratings could be upgraded if it is able to consistently
attain free cash flow to total debt (using Moody's adjustments for
pension and operating leases) of at least 10% and debt to EBITDA
of less than 3.0x. Any upgrade would be contingent on the outlook
for KH's future environmental expenditures and the status of legal
proceedings related to its current and former operating sites. The
financial impact of this litigation and future remediation
requirements may temper future upgrades.

The ratings could be lowered if Debt/EBITDA rises above 5x or cash
flow metrics deteriorate significantly; or there are negative
changes in the status of legal proceedings or environmental
charges.

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

KTLA LLC: Seeks Case Dismissal Without Prejudice
------------------------------------------------
KTLA, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for entry of an order
dismissing its Chapter 11 case without prejudice.

On Oct. 25, 2011, the Court approved the sale of two real
properties in Los Angeles, Calif., for $11.05 Million.  The sale
closed on Nov. 4, 2011, and $679,354.31 of the net proceeds of the
sale was distributed to the Debtor.  The remaining $1,350,000 was
held in escrow.

On Nov. 4, 2011, the Court entered an order approving a
stipulation between the Debtor and the holders of liens against
the Debtor's properties in Los Angeles, Calif.  The stipulation
provides that the lienholders will have relief from the automatic
stay to foreclose their liens provided that the lienholders reduce
their liens by a total of $1,350,000.

The lienholders foreclosed their liens against, and completed
trustee sales on Nov. 10, 2011.  As a result of the sale, and the
stipulated reduction in liens against said properties, on Nov. 11,
2011, the Debtor will receive a further $1,150,000 from escrow;
California Mortgage and Realty, Inc., the ultimate manager of the
Debtor, will receive $200,000 in commissions from escrow.  The
Debtor will have received a total of $2,029,354.31.

The Debtor scheduled $25,181.30 in general unsecured claims.  No
proofs of claim for unsecured claims were filed except for an $800
priority claim filed by the Franchise Tax Board.  Accordingly, it
appears that the estate is solvent and the Debtor is in possession
of funds sufficient to pay all unsecured claims in full.

As a result, the Debtor is not in need of the protections of the
automatic stay and the Bankruptcy Code, and proceeding with the
case will impose unnecessary expense upon the Debtor's estate.
Moreover, CMR Commercial Mortgage Fund, LLC, owner of the Debtor,
desires to obtain and use the net proceeds of the sale as soon as
possible.  Therefore, dismissal of the within case is in the best
interests of the estate.

KV PHARMACEUTICAL: Updates Makena Performance Metrics
-----------------------------------------------------
K-V Pharmaceutical Company reported updated performance metrics
for Makena, the only U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved
product indicated to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women
with singleton pregnancy who have a history of a singleton
spontaneous preterm birth.

Makena was launched during March of 2011.  From its launch date
through Oct. 31, 2011:

   * Approximately 7,100 vials have been shipped to Ther-Rx
     customers, and more than 4,700 vials have been shipped to
     doctors and patients;

   * The average number of vials shipped per week to Ther-Rx
     customers increased 35% from the month of July to the month
     of October while the average number of vials shipped per week
     to doctors and patients increased nearly 13% during the same
     period;

   * Approximately 4,300 patient referrals from over 2,700
     prescribers have been made to the Makena Care Connection and
     the number of enrollments who have initiated treatments
     increased from the month of July to the month of October by
     nearly 16%;

   * Approximately 2,400 patients have either initiated treatment,
     are in the enrollment phase or are pending insurance approval
     and treatment initiation;

   * Over 200 payers, both commercial and Medicaid, have
     reimbursed Makena;

   * Contracts have been reached with four commercial insurers
     that cover an estimated 50 million persons;

   * At least 17 states have reimbursed Makena and K-V has signed
     Makena rebate contracts with three states and two Managed
     Medicaid plans covering 5 to 6 million persons; and

   * Current data indicates patient co-pays are averaging
     approximately $11 per injection, the same or less cost than
     those typically associated with compounded 17P formulations.

"Our commercialization efforts remain centered on communicating
the important differences between FDA-approved Makena and
compounded 17P formulations," said Greg Divis, President and CEO
of K-V Pharmaceutical and President of Ther-Rx.  "We are actively
engaging the physician and payer communities and the success of
our focused outreach is evidenced by Makena's improving
performance metrics.  We believe our efforts are driving expanded
access to Makena while we are also successfully maintaining low
out-of-pocket costs for patients."

Recent testing conducted by independent laboratories, commissioned
by Ther-Rx Corporation, a subsidiary of K-V Pharmaceutical
Company, shows that multiple samples of both compounded 17P drug
formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredient that may be used
in compounded 17P failed to meet certain established standards for
potency and purity.  These findings, which have been submitted to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, demonstrate important
quality differences in these compounded 17P formulations when
compared to FDA-approved Makena.

"We commissioned this research because moms and healthcare
providers deserve to know whether medications prescribed during
pregnancy meet FDA's quality standards," said Greg Divis,
President and CEO of K-V Pharmaceutical Company.  "This research
demonstrates important differences in product quality between FDA-
approved Makena and these compounded 17P formulations.  Healthcare
providers and patients have no practical way of ensuring that
compounded 17P formulations meet FDA's quality standards.  Now
that FDA-approved Makena is available, America's high-risk moms
deserve a product that consistently meets FDA's standards."

On Nov. 8, 2011, the FDA issued a statement on Makena
acknowledging it has received information from the Company
regarding the potency and purity of samples of bulk
hydroxyprogesterone caproate APIs and compounded
hydroxyprogesterone caproate products.  FDA stated, "According to
the analysis of this information provided by K-V, there is
variability in the purity and potency of both the bulk APIs and
compounded hydroxyprogesterone caproate products that were
tested."  The agency has begun its own sampling and analysis of
compounded hydroxyprogesterone products and the bulk APIs used to
make them. In FDA's statement, the agency "reminds healthcare
providers and patients that before approving the Makena new drug
application, FDA reviewed manufacturing information, such as the
source of the API used by the manufacturer, proposed manufacturing
processes and the firm's adherence to current good manufacturing
practice.  Therefore, as with other approved drugs, greater
assurance of safety and effectiveness is generally provided by the
approved product than by a compounded product."

10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was only filed March 10,
2011.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2010, showed
$296.21 million in total assets, $529.66 million in total
liabilities, and a $233.45 million shareholders' deficit.

There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.  The report of the Company's independent
registered public accountants BDO USA, LLP, included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010, includes an explanatory paragraph related to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company incurred a net loss of $283.61 million on
$152.22 million of net revenue for 12 months ended March 31, 2010,

revenue in the same period in fiscal 2009.  The Company reported a
net loss of $34.60 million on $3.38 million of net revenue for
three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with a net loss of
$53.95 million on $6.30 million of revenue in the same period in
2009.

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

Thomas A. Pitta, Esq., at Lowenstein Sandler PC, in New York,
represent the Debtor as counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor
estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and debts.  The
petition was signed by Darol Lain, president.


LIFECARE HOLDINGS: Incurs $13.3 Million Net Loss in 3rd Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lifecare Holdings, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a
net loss of $13.32 million on $102.60 million of net patient
service revenue for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2011,
compared with a net loss of $1.69 million on $85.53 million of net
patient service revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company also reported a net loss of $21.55 million on
$293.51 million of net patient service revenue for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with net income of $4.52 million on
$271.12 million of net patient service revenue for the same period
during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$503.11 million in total assets, $536.14 million in total
liabilities and a $33.03 million total stockholders' deficit.

The Company said it may not be able to continue to satisfy the
covenant requirements in subsequent periods.  In the event the
Company is unable to comply with the covenants under its senior
secured credit facility, an event of default may occur.  If the
Company is unable to obtain waivers or amendments to cure such
event of default, the lenders would be entitled to take various
actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the
Company's senior secured credit facility, terminating the
Company's access to its revolving credit facility and all actions
permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.  Acceleration under
the Company's senior secured credit facility would further create
a cross-default under the Company's senior subordinated notes
indenture. Such acceleration would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position, results of operations and
cash flow and raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.

                      About LifeCare Holdings

Plano, Tex.-based LifeCare Holdings, Inc. --
http://www.lifecare-hospitals.com/-- operates 19 hospitals
located in nine states, consisting of eight "hospital within a
hospital" facilities (27% of beds) and 11 freestanding facilities
(73% of beds).  Through these 19 long-term acute care hospitals,
the Company operates a total of 1,057 licensed beds and employ
approximately 3,200 people, the majority of whom are registered or
licensed nurses and respiratory therapists.  Additionally, the
Company holds a 50% investment in a joint venture for a 51-bed
LTAC hospital located in Muskegon, Michigan.

                          *     *     *

LifeCare Holdings carries "Caa1" corporate family and probability
of default ratings, with negative outlook, from Moody's Investors
Service and a 'CCC-' corporate credit rating, with negative
outlook from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.

In November 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings lowered its corporate
credit rating on LifeCare Holdings to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  "The
downgrade reflects the imminent difficulty the company may
have in meeting its bank covenant requirements and the risk of it
successfully refinancing significant debt maturing in 2011 and
2012," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Peknay.  The
likelihood of a debt covenant violation is heightened by the
company's lack of appreciable operating improvement coupled with a
large upcoming tightening of is debt covenant in the first quarter
of 2011.  Additional equity by the company's financial sponsor may
be necessary to avoid a covenant violation.  Accordingly, S&P
believes the chances of bankruptcy have increased.

As reported by the TCR on May 26, 2011, Standard & Poor's Rating
Services affirmed its 'CCC-' corporate credit rating and its
senior subordinated debt rating on Plano, Texas-based LifeCare
Holdings Inc.  "The low-speculative-grade rating on LifeCare
reflects its narrow focus in a competitive business heavily
reliant on uncertain Medicare reimbursement," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst David Peknay, "and its highly leveraged
financial risk profile highlighted by very weak cash flow
protection measures, slim liquidity, and very high debt level."


LITTLETON APARTMENTS: Can Use Cash Collateral on Interim
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas has
authorized Littleton Apartments LLC and MS 128 Littleton Limited
Partnership, to use cash collateral, on an interim basis, in
accordance with a budget.

In exchange for Littleton's use of cash collateral, and as
adequate protection, the secured lenders are granted replacement
and/or substitute liens in all postpetition assets of Littleton
and proceeds thereof, including all Rents, issues and income
generated by the Property.  As additional adequate protection for
their interests in the Cash Collateral, senior lenders will
receive payment of interest on the senior debt.

As reported previously, Littleton Apartments sought authority
from the Bankruptcy Court to use rent from its Colorado apartment
to fund the business while in Chapter 11.  The Debtor said the
rent constitute cash collateral securing obligations to its
prepetition lenders.

Littleton said it owes a syndicate of lenders led by California
Bank & Trust, as agent, under the terms of a Construction Loan
Agreement, Secured Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, and various
accompanying loan documents dated July 1, 2008.  The amounts owed
under the Loan Documents are secured by a lien on, inter alia, the
Property, the rents generated by the Property, and all of
Littleton's personal property.  As of the Petition Date, the
outstanding amount due under the Loan Documents was $40.6 million.

                 California Bank & Trust Objects

California Bank & Trust objects to Littleton Apartments' request
to use CBT's cash collateral and asks the Court for an order
conditioning the use of CBT's cash collateral to require the
Debtor to make payments towards reducing the outstanding
$2,768,366 remargining payment currently owed by the Debtor to
CBT.

Katharine E. Battaia, Esq., representing CBT, tells the Court that
unless the Debtor agrees to use the Budget Surplus to meet its
Remargining Payment obligation, CBT will not consent to the
continued use of its cash collateral.  CBT's interests will not be
adequately protected, per its contracts with the Debtor, unless
the Debtor commits the Budget Surplus to satisfying its $2,768,366
Remargining Payment obligation.

Ms. Battaia states that there is no reason why the Debtor should
retain the Budget Surplus.  If the Debtor's plan is truly to pay
off all creditors, instead of building up a purposeless cash
reserve, the Debtor should use the Budget Surplus to start paying
down the Loan now, rather than denying CBT the Remargining
Payment.  Denying CBT its Remargining Payment will essentially
force CBT to bear the brunt of the risk if the Debtor fails to
sell the Property.  This risk is exacerbated by the recent filings
by the mezzanine lender, which describe this case as an
essentially two-party dispute that should be litigated in state
court rather than the bankruptcy court.  Given the current
volatile procedural posture, the Debtor should be required to
commit the Budget Surplus to satisfying its Remargining Payment
obligation.  That outcome, and only that outcome, will adequately
protect CBT's interests.

Ms. Battaia notes that the Debtor agreed that it would maintain a
70% loan-to-value ratio in the Loan Documents.  This ratio was a
critical component of its agreement to finance the Loan.  In
essence, the parties agreed that CBT's interests would be
adequately protected only with a 70% loan-to-value ratio.  The
Court should honor the parties' agreement, and require the Debtor
to commit the Budget Surplus to satisfying its obligation.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Sues Fox Over Media Rights Sale
----------------------------------------------------
The Los Angeles Dodgers sued Fox Sports in bankruptcy court
Wednesday for allegedly interfering with the team's bid to sell
its valuable broadcast rights.

Roxanne Palmer at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that the Los Angeles
Dodgers claims a Fox broadcasting affiliate violated the automatic
stay by trying to block Blackstone Advisory Services LP, the
team's financial adviser, from soliciting bids for media rights.

According to Law360, the team said in its adversary proceeding
that on Nov. 9 attorneys for Fox Sports Net West 2 LLC sent a
cease-and-desist letter to Blackstone, falsely alleging that it
was engaging in tortious interference with a previous contract
between Fox and the Dodgers.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 16, 2011, the
Los Angeles Dodgers filed court papers seeking approval of
procedures to solicit bids for television broadcasting rights to
accompany a settlement with the commissioner of Major League
Baseball that calls for selling the team.

According to a Bloomberg report, at a Nov. 30 hearing, the Dodgers
will ask the bankruptcy court to approve procedures which amount
to modifications of the rights of first negotiation and first
refusal contained in the existing broadcasting agreement with Fox
Entertainment Group Inc.  The current agreement, giving Fox
broadcasting rights through the end of the 2013 season, precludes
the Dodgers from negotiating with anyone else until October 2012,
followed by a right of first refusal.

                     About Los Angeles Dodgers

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

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

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

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

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

Judge Kevin Gross presides over the case.  Lawyers at Young,
Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor and Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP serve as the
Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC is the
claims and notice agent.  Public relations specialist Kekst and
Company has been hired for crisis support.  Covington & Burling
LLP serves as special counsel.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.  The panel has tapped Lazard Freres & Co. as financial
adviser and investment banker, and Morrison & Foerster LLP and
Pinckney, Harris & Weidinger, LLC as counsel.

The LA Dodgers is the 12th sports team in North America to have
sought bankruptcy protection, according to The Wall Street
Journal.

The reorganization is being financed with a $150 million unsecured
loan from the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.  The loan
gives the Commissioner few of the controls lenders often demanded
from bankrupt companies.

MARCO POLO SEATRADE: Gets Final OK to Obtain $5 Million RBS Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
authorized, on a final basis, Marco Polo Seatrade B.V., et al.,

   a. to borrow up to $4,800,000 in principal amount, on a final
   basis, of postpetition financing, guaranteed by Seaarland
   Shipping Management B.V., Magellano Marine C.V. and Cargoship
   Maritime B.V.;

   b. to execute and deliver any necessary documents, to perform
   other and further acts as may be necessary or appropriate in
   connection therewith, and to grant the liens and security
   interests to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc;

   c. to grant certain priming liens and superpriority claims to
   the DIP Lender to secure the Debtors' obligations under the DIP
   Agreement; and

   d. to require repayment of the DIP Facility in full upon an
   event triggering the Stated Maturity Date in accordance with
   the DIP Agreement.

The Debtors are also authorized to the Debtors exceed the
permitted variance of 15% from the Budget with respect to Credit
Agricole Budget Items.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct 3, 2011, RBS
is owed $117.7 million secured by three of Seaarland's six
vessels.  The other three are collateral for Credit Agricole
Corporate & Investment Bank, owed $89.7 million.

The TCR reported that the financing requires Seaarland to file a
Chapter 11 plan acceptable to RBS.  Before the financing agreement
and the company's commitment to devise a plan acceptable to the
bank, RBS had a motion on file seeking dismissal of the Chapter 11
case on the theory Seaarland has insufficient ties to the U.S.

The Court also ordered that no proceeds of the DIP Facility may be
used for the payment of the fees and expenses of any person
incurred in challenging, or in relation to the challenge of, any
of the DIP lender's, or RBS' liens or claims, or the initiation or
prosecution of any claim or action against the DIP Lender or RBS.

The Debtors will grant adequate protection liens as:

   a) The Credit Agricole Lenders are granted replacement security
   interests and liens in and upon the Credit Agricole Collateral;
   provided that with respect to cash collateral of the Credit
   Agricole Lenders; and

   b) The RBS Lenders are granted additional and replacement
   security interests and liens in and upon the RBS Collateral;
   provided that with respect to cash collateral of the RBS
   Lenders, RBS adequate protection liens will only be granted to
   the extent the RBS Lenders would have been entitled to a
   security interest or right of setoff in such cash collateral
   under the RBS Loan Agreement or applicable law.  The RBS
   adequate protection liens will be subject and subordinate only
   to the senior adequate protection liens.

                       About Marco Polo

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

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

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

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

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

MF GLOBAL: Moody's Withdraws 'Caa1' Long-Term Issuer Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service withdrew all the credit ratings for MF
Global Holdings Ltd. (MF Global) following the company's

proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code.

These ratings were withdrawn:

LT Issuer Rating (Domestic) Caa1, review for downgrade;

Senior Unsecured Rating (Domestic) Caa1, review for downgrade;

MICHAEL GINALDI: Court Rejects Addison Wolfe as Broker
------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Eric L. Frank denied, without prejudice, Michael
Ginaldi's application for an order approving the retention of
Addison Wolfe Real Estate as real estate broker.  TD Bank objected
to the Application asserting that Addison Wolfe, which provided
services to the Debtor pre-bankruptcy, is a creditor of the
bankruptcy estate, is not a disinterested person and therefore, is
ineligible for retention under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 327(a).  Judge Frank
agreed, noting that Addison Wolfe has not waived its pre-petition
claim therefore, continues to be "not disinterested" within the
meaning of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101(14).  A copy of Judge Frank's Nov.
16, 2011 Order is available at http://is.gd/Wb2eCsfrom

interim consolidated financial statements for the three months
ended June 30, 2010, the Company said its ability to continue as a
going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and
discharge its liabilities is dependent on the discovery of
economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the
Company to obtain necessary financing to fund its operations, and
the future production or proceeds from developed properties.
However, the Company adds that there is no certainty that the
Company will be able to obtain financing to fund its operations.
As a result, the Company says, there is substantial doubt as to
its ability to continue as a going concern.

NEDAK ETHANOL: Incurs $1.5 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------
Nedak Ethanol, LLC, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a net loss
of $1.53 million on $42.04 million of revenue for the three months
ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $2.12 million on
$24.44 million of revenue for the same period a year ago.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.08 million on $94.77 million
of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net
loss of $9.23 million on $67.53 million of revenue during the
prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $3.56 million on
$114.10 million of revenue for the nine months ended Sept. 30,
2011, compared with a net loss of $3.61 million on $66.82 million
of revenue for the same period during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$80.94 million in total assets, $50.97 million in total
liabilities, all current, and $29.96 million in total members'
equity.

As reported by the TCR on April 7, 2011, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP,
in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, expressed substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern following the
Company's 2010 results.  The independent auditors noted that there
is uncertainty as to the Company's ability to cure credit
agreement defaults and, therefore, to secure additional funds
needed to fund ongoing operations.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company entered into the following agreements with AgCountry
Farm Credit Services, FLCA, regarding the Company's senior secured
credit facility for the provision of construction and permanent
debt financing for our ethanol plant: a Master Credit Agreement
dated Feb. 14, 2007, and several supplements including the Seventh
Supplement and Forbearance agreement to the Master Credit
Agreement effective Feb. 1, 2011.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, the
Company had $34,000,008 outstanding under the Facility.

The Company is actively negotiating with the Lender to convert the
construction financing to operating lines and to modify the loan
covenants to reflect current industry economics.  These
negotiations have taken a considerable amount of time due to the
number of lenders involved, the Company's overall liquidity and
the interests of a diverse group of stakeholders.  The Company
cannot predict whether the Lender will agree to modify any of
those covenants, but the Company does expect a resolution soon.
To the extent the Company is unable to modify those covenants, it
may not be possible to meet them unless the commodities markets
the Company operates in move in favorable directions.  Until the
Company is able to comply with the covenants under the Loan
Agreements, the Lender may take a variety of actions, including
immediately accelerating the repayment of all outstanding debt
under the Loan Agreements.  Such acceleration could entitle the
Lender to liquidate all of the Company's assets, and would likely
lead to the Company's bankruptcy, reorganization or winding up of
its affairs.

NEWSOM PROPERTIES: Compass Bank Secured Claim Pegged at $3.4MM
--------------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of Newsom Properties LLC, Bankruptcy Judge Arthur B.
Briskman held that lender Compass Bank has an allowed secured
claim of $3,411,000 and the balance of the bank's Claim Nos. 4-1,
5-1, and 6-1 is unsecured.  The Court also held that the Debtor's
Parcel One, which secures the bank's claim, has a value of
$3,411,000.

The Debtor and Compass Bank disagree as to the value of Parcel
One.  The Debtor contends Compass Bank is oversecured; Compass
Bank contends it is undersecured.

Newsom Properties filed for bankruptcy due to its inability to
collect sufficient rents and make mortgage payments as they came
due.  Compass Bank asserts the Newsoms intentionally caused
tenants to fail to make monthly rent payments and to vacate Parcel
One.

Newsom Properties is owned and controlled by Dr. William A.
Newsom, an ophthalmic surgeon, and his wife Laurie K. Newsom.
Newsom Properties owns two parcels of commercial property located
in Gainesville, Florida:

     (i) Parcel One -- Parcel ID No. 06230-005-001 commonly known
         as 8475 NW 39th Avenue, Gainesville, Florida 32606, with
         an adjoining vacant lot; and

    (ii) Parcel Two -- Parcel ID No. 06107-019-000 commonly known
         as 2521 NW 41st Street, Gainesville, Florida 32606.

Parcel One contains a specialized medical services building
constructed in 2007 for Dr. Newsom's ophthalmic diagnosis and
surgical practice.  Parcel One is encumbered by a Mortgage and
Security Agreement executed on Jan. 26, 2007 and an Assignment of
Profits, Lease, Rents, and Contracts held by Compass.  The
Mortgage secures two commercial loans, Loan One for $1,686,427 and
Loan Two for $2,677,500, and an interest rate swap agreement
executed by the Debtor.  Parcel Two is encumbered by a mortgage
held by M&S Bank.  Dr. and Mrs. Newsom personally guaranteed the
Compass Bank and M&S Bank loan obligations.

The Debtor, pursuant to written leases, leases space in Parcel One
to two tenants: (i) Eye Associates of Gainesville, LLC, a medical
eye clinic; and (ii) Eye Surgicenter, LLC, an eye surgery center.
Parcel Two contains a substantially similar building which houses
an eye clinic and an eye surgery center.  Dr. and Mrs. Newsom own
and control the tenants.  The Debtor's sole source of income is
rents from the properties.  The tenants of Parcel One are required
to pay aggregate monthly rent of $30,000 to the Debtor.

Compass Bank filed three proofs of claim totaling $3,661,744: (i)
secured Claim No. 4-1 for $2,496,260 arising from Loan One; (ii)
Claim No. 5-1 for $732,724, consisting of a secured claim of
$173,739 and an unsecured claim of $558,984, arising from Loan
Two; and (iii) Claim No. 6-1 for an unsecured claim of $432,760,
arising from the swap agreement.  Compass Bank's claims set forth
$2,670,000 as the value of Parcel One.

The Debtor, in its Plan, treats Compass Bank as unimpaired and
intends to transfer, via quitclaim deed on the effective date,
Parcel One to Compass Bank in full satisfaction of Compass Bank's
allowed secured claim.  The Debtor intends to retain Parcel Two
and make mortgage payments to M&S Bank from the rental income
stream from Parcel Two's tenants.

Compass Bank asserts it is impaired and voted to reject the Plan.
The Debtor has not sought releases of the Newsoms from their
personal guarantees.  The intended transfer of Parcel One to
Compass in full satisfaction of its secured claim will satisfy the
Newsoms' personal guarantees.

As part of his ruling, Judge Briskman directed the Debtor to file
and serve an Amended Disclosure Statement and Plan by Nov. 23.

A copy of Judge Briskman's Nov. 9, 2011 Order is available at
http://is.gd/0BYPILfrom Leagle.com.

Based in Gainesville, Florida, Newsom Properties LLC filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 11-04192) on
March 25, 2011.  Kenneth D. Herron, Jr., Esq. -- kherron@whmh.com
-- at Wolff, Hill, McFarlin & Herron, P.A.  The Debtor scheduled
$4,560,935 in assets and $11,211,465 in assets.  The petition was
signed by William A. Newsom, manager.


NPC INT'L: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Credit Rating on Watch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed the ratings on Pizza Hut
franchisee NPC International Inc., including the 'B' long-term
corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

"The CreditWatch placement follows NPC International Inc.'s
announcement that it has agreed to be acquired by private equity
firm Olympus Partners. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approval. We expect the transaction to close by the end of fiscal
2011," S&P said.

"We believe the debt-financed transaction will weaken NPC
International Inc.'s credit protection measures from current
levels over the next one to two years," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Andy Sookram.

"Pro forma for the transaction, based on NPC's operating results
through the third quarter ended Sept. 27, 2011 and assuming
Olympus will finance 70% of the purchase price with debt, we
expect leverage will increase to between 6.3x and 6.6x from 5.0x,"
S&P related.

"We believe NPC will continue to use excess cash flow to reduce
debt, mitigating the effects of our expectation that EBITDA will
decline 5% in 2011 from the previous year. However, the additional
debt burden of the transaction will, in our view, strain NPC's
already highly-leveraged financial risk profile and modest cash
flows," S&P said.

"NPC's comparable-store sales increased 0.4% in the third quarter,
in line with our expectation for limited growth over the near
term. The company's flat 12.3% EBITDA margin in the third quarter
was better than our expectation of an 11.8% margin over the medium
term, as NPC continued to offset higher commodity costs with
reductions in operating costs, including in labor," S&P said.

"We expect to resolve the CreditWatch listing within 90 days after
meeting with management to better understand the company's
financial policy, business strategy, and capital structure,
specifically in the context of the transaction," S&P said.


NUVEEN INVESTMENTS: Moody's Says 'B3' Reflects Weak Fundamentals
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings, all with positive
outlooks, of Nuveen Investments, Inc. following the announcement
that Nuveen will acquire a 60% interest in Gresham Investment
Management LLC (unrated) for $300 million in cash. Nuveen expects
to use $280 million of incremental term loans and cash on hand to
fund the acquisition. The transaction is expected to close by
year-end 2011.

The immediate financial impact to Nuveen's operations is somewhat
modest, as Gresham's trailing last twelve months adjusted revenue
of $112.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $83.8 million are about
11% and 16%, respectively, of Nuveen's size. While absolute
leverage will increase with the acquisition, Moody's expects pro
forma financial leverage (Debt/Moody's LTM EBITDA) to decline
modestly from 8.5x to 8.2x.

The Gresham acquisition is consistent with Nuveen's strategy to
diversify its product mix and increase its distribution reach and
scale. Based in New York, Gresham is one of the largest long-only
institutional commodity managers with $13.7 billion of AUM as of
October 31, 2011. The company has benefited from a period of
strong investor appetite for commodity investments growing its
assets over the last five years by compound annual growth rate of
52% due to a combination of market appreciation and $11.9 billion
of net inflows.

The Gresham business will increase Nuveen's position in the
expanding commodities asset class in addition to giving Nuveen
deeper presence in the institutional market and an expanded
international client base, which is credit positive. However, as
an offset, the transaction involves an increase in Nuveen's total
notional debt from an already high level as well as exposure to an
asset class, that has historically exhibited higher volatility
profiles.

Nuveen's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's weak
financial fundamentals, characterized by high financial leverage,
marginal interest coverage and refinancing risk relative to other
Moody's-rated asset managers. Also incorporated in the rating is
Nuveen's good market position, adequate liquidity profile and
strong distribution capabilities. The company's refinancing and
deleveraging strategy is also reflected in the B3 rating.

The positive outlook reflects Nuveen's strengthening brand and
positive momentum in its operating fundamentals with Moody's
expectations for further improvement in credit metrics. The
company's intention to proactively address upcoming maturities in
the next two years with equity or debt refinancing is also
considered in the positive outlook.

Ratings affirmed, all with positive outlooks, include:

Corporate Family Rating of B3;

$193 million senior secured revolver at B2

$1.087 billion senior secured first lien loan due 2014 at B2

$1.057 billion senior secured first lien due 2017 at B2

$500 million senior secured second lien loan due 2015 at Caa1

$935 million senior unsecured notes due 2015 at Caa2

$300 million senior unsecured notes due 2015 at Caa2

Nuveen Investments, Inc., headquartered in Chicago, is a US-
domiciled holding company whose subsidiaries provide investment
management products and services to retail and institutional
investors predominantly in the US. The company's assets under
management were $207.3 billion as of October 31, 2011.

The last rating action was on May 18, 2011, when Moody's upgraded
Nuveen's corporate family rating to B3 from Caa1 and debt ratings
of Nuveen Investments, Inc. by one notch. Positive outlooks were
maintained on all ratings.

The principal methodology used in rating Nuveen Investments, Inc.
was Moody's Global Rating Methodology for Asset Management Firms,
published in October 2007, which can be found at www.moodys.com in
the Credit Policy & Methodologies directory, in the Ratings
Methodologies sub-directory under the Research & Ratings tab.
Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in
the process of rating Nuveen Investments, Inc. can also be found
in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's website.


NUVEEN INVESTMENTS: S&P Affirms 'B-' Counterparty Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings on Nuveen
Investments Inc., including the 'B-' counterparty credit rating.
"At the same time, we assigned our 'B' issue-level rating and '2'
recovery rating on the company's $280 million senior secured term
loan due in May 2017. The outlook on the company remains stable,"
S&P said.

"The rating affirmation follows Nuveen's announcement that it has
reached a definitive agreement to acquire a 60% stake in Gresham
Investment Management, a niche asset manager with $13.7 billion in
assets under management (AUM). The up-front cost is $300 million,
which Nuveen will finance mostly with additional term loans. We
view this transaction as favorable for the combined company's
business profile, but not for its financial profile," S&P said.

"We affirmed the ratings based on our opinion that Nuveen has a
well-respected brand name, a diverse mix of AUM, a respectable
investment performance track record, and good third-party
distribution of its retail products," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Charles Rauch. "We believe the addition of Gresham
further diversifies AUM and adds a skill set that Nuveen currently
lacks, namely an expertise in commodities futures. We view
commodities as a natural complement to Nuveen's existing book of
business in equities, fixed-income securities, and municipal bonds
because they have historically provided a hedge against inflation.
Commodities will account for 6% of the combined organization's
AUM, up from Nuveen's current 1%. In addition, Gresham's long
track record and favorable investment performance should benefit
the combined organization's franchise."

"We have an unfavorable view of the financing of the Gresham
acquisition," said Mr. Rauch. "Nuveen already has a high debt
level, $3.9 billion as of Sept. 30, 2011, which is a major rating
factor. The company is issuing another $280 million of term loans
to finance the bulk of the up-front cost to acquire the majority
stake in Gresham. Although pro forma key credit metrics strengthen
marginally for the combined organization, Nuveen's ability to
service the $1.1 billion of debt maturities in 2014 will depend on
its ability to increase AUM well beyond our current expectations.
Under our base-case scenario, we assume AUM will be relatively
flat over the next year."

"The stable outlook reflects our base-case scenario, in which the
combined organization's AUM remains relatively flat in 2012.
Although key credit metrics will marginally improve following the
Gresham transaction, they will still compare unfavorably with
peers rated in the 'B' category. Without exceptionally strong AUM
growth over the next three years, we do not believe the combined
organization can accumulate sufficient cash to meet the $1.1
billion principal payment due in November 2014. Consequently, if
the company does not take steps to lower aggregate indebtedness --
such as an IPO or another debt restructuring -- well before the
next debt maturity date, we could lower the ratings.
Alternatively, if the company raises equity and uses the proceeds
to lower outstanding indebtedness, we could raise the ratings,"
S&P related.


OPEN RANGE: Lacks Buyer, to Liquidate Assets
--------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Open Range Communications Inc. won't reorganize.  It
won't even sell the assets as a going concern.  Open Range filed
papers in bankruptcy court disclosing that the buyer decided not
to go ahead.  Consequently, the company said it will conduct an
"orderly liquidation."  On filing for Chapter 11 protection on
Oct. 6 in Delaware, Open Range said it would shut down and
liquidate the network if a buyer couldn't be found.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court previously authorized, on a final basis,
Open Range to borrow a principal amount not to exceed $6,000,000
in the aggregate for the operation of its business.  As adequate
protection for any diminution in value of the lender's collateral,
the Debtor will grant the lender replacement liens and
superpriority administrative claims status, subject to carve out
in certain expenses.

                        About Open Range

Greenwood Village, Colo.-based Open Range Communications Inc., a
provider of wireless broadband services to 26,000 rural customers
in 12 states, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
11-13188) on Oct. 6, 2011, to either sell the business or shut
down and liquidate.  Open Range listed about $114 million in
assets and $110 million in debts.  Open Range started its WiMax
broadband and voice service in late 2009, backed by a $267 million
loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utility
Service and $100 million invested by One Equity Partners, a
financing arm of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Judge Kevin J. Carey presides over the case.  Marion M. Quirk,

Chris Lewand; and hourly temporary staff.  The petition was signed
by Chris Edwards, chief financial officer.

Roberta A. DeAngelis, the United States Trustee for Region 3,
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1102(a) and (b), appointed seven
unsecured creditors to serve on the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors of Open Range Communications Inc.


OPEN TEXT: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Ba1'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded certain Open Text, Inc.'s
ratings -- corporate family to Ba1 from Ba2, speculative grade
liquidity to SGL-1 from SGL-2, and probability of default to Ba2
from Ba3 Moody's. Moody's also affirmed the Ba1 rating on the
company's senior secured debt. The ratings outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The upgrade in the corporate family rating to Ba1 is driven by
Open Text's improved liquidity profile as a result of its new bank
facility, and relatively low level of debt to EBITDA which Moody's
expects to decline to under 2x early in 2012. Open Text has a
record of steady financial performance and cash flow from
operations, which Moody's expects to continue because of its
leading position within the rapidly growing enterprise content
management market. While the company is acquisitive, Moody's
expects the company to maintain leverage under 2x except on a
temporary basis.

The speculative grade liquidity rating has been revised to SGL-1
from SGL-2 based on the improved liquidity as a result of closing
the secured loan facilities. Open Text recently closed on a new
$100 million senior secured revolver that matures in 2016 and
replenished in excess of $250 million in cash balances as a result
of the closing of the new $600 million senior secured term loan.
The SGL-1 rating also reflects Moody's expectation that the
company will generate well in excess of $200 million in free cash
flow over the next twelve months.

While a further upgrade is unlikely in the near term, ratings
could be raised if the company continues broadening of its product
portfolio and vertical market expertise while demonstrating
organic revenue, profit and cash flow growth and maintaining
conservative financial policies. The ratings could face downward
pressure if the growth outlook reversed or if leverage were to
exceed 3.0x.

These ratings were upgraded:

Corporate family rating: Ba1from Ba2

Probability of default: Ba2 from Ba3

The following ratings were affirmed (and LGD assessments revised):

$100 million senior secured revolver due 2016, Ba1, LGD3 (32%)
from Ba1, LGD2 (26%)

$600 million senior secured term loan due 2018, Ba1, LGD3 (32%)
from Ba1, LGD2 (26%)

These were withdrawn:

$200 million senior secured delayed term loan due 2018, Ba1, LGD2
(26%)

Ratings outlook: Stable

The principal methodology used in rating Open Text was the Global
Software Industry Methodology published in May 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.

Open Text Corp., headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, is
the largest independent provider of enterprise content management
software. For twelve months ended June 31, 2011, revenues were
approximately $1.0 billion.


OPTIMUMBANK HOLDINGS: Incurs $563,000 Third Quarter Net Loss
------------------------------------------------------------
Optimumbank Holdings, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, reporting a
net loss of $563,000 on $1.51 million of total interest income for
the three months ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of
$1.54 million on $1.99 million of total interest income for the
same period during the prior year.

The Company reported a net loss of $8.45 million on $8.78 million
of total interest income for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $11.48 million on $14.00 million of
total interest income during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $3.69 million on
$5.06 million of total interest income for the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $6.77 million on $6.94
million of total interest income for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$167.12 million in total assets, $168.83 million in total
liabilities and a $1.71 million total stockholders' deficit.

Chairman of the Board Sam Borek said, "We are moving in a positive
direction.  Non-accrual loans and repossessed assets have been a
significant drain on the Company's resources for over two years,
but the Florida real estate marketplace is showing signs of
stabilization."

and high-rate deposits.  In addition, the Bank must obtain prior
approval of the FDIC prior to acquiring any interest in any
company or insured depository institution, establishing or
acquiring any additional branch office, or engaging in any new
line of business.

"The Bank [OptimumBank] has experienced recent and continuing
increases in nonperforming assets, declining net interest margin,
increases in provisions for loan losses, continuing high levels of
noninterest expenses related to the credit problems, and eroding
regulatory capital which raise substantial doubt about the Bank's
ability to continue as a going concern," the Company said in its
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2010.

The Company's continuing high levels of nonperforming assets,
declining net interest margin, continuing high levels of
noninterest expenses related to the credit problems, and eroding
regulatory capital raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

Moreover, as reported by the TCR on April 20, 2011, Hacker,
Johnson & Smith PA, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, noted that the
Company's operating and capital requirements, along with recurring
losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.


PATIENT SAFETY: Incurs $228,000 Net Loss in Third Quarter

continue as a going concern.


PIONEER DRILLING: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating to $150-Mil. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Pioneer Drilling
Company's (Pioneer) proposed $150 million of new notes. Pioneer's
other ratings are unaffected. The outlook remains stable.

Net proceeds from the offering will be used to fund acquisitions,
construction of new-build drilling rigs and for general corporate
purposes, which may include maintenance capital expenditures,
working capital or the repayment of indebtedness.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"This debt issue will provide additional liquidity to cover growth
funding and essentially finance the two acquisitions that Pioneer
is currently pursuing for a combined price of $155 million,"
commented Sajjad Alam, Moody's analyst. "We view this to be credit
negative in the near term as leverage will rise and the company
may face execution risks inherent in any potential acquisition.
However, the increased debt burden will not impact the ratings or
the outlook given the company's pre-issue low leverage, reduced
funding risk and the prospects of significant incremental cash
flow in 2012 and 2013 from these potential acquisitions and rig
additions."

After a period of capital preservation and a focus on cost
efficiency, Pioneer ramped up its capital spending in 2011 and
continues to strategically position itself in the more active
drilling basins in the US with emphasis on shale plays. The pace
of expansion in 2012 however, remains a concern given the
possibility of reduced spending by E&P companies in 2012 and
ongoing volatility in oil prices. Based on next year's capex
guidance of $250-$280 million, Pioneer will again produce negative
free cash flow in 2012. However, Moody's expectation is that any
funding gap will primarily be addressed with additional equity
issuance as the company has done in 2011.

The new unsecured notes are rated B2, rank pari passu with the
existing 9.875% unsecured notes and have identical tenor,
guarantee package, and covenants. The notes are rated one notch
below Pioneer's B2 CFR, reflecting the substantial size of the
priority claim first lien secured revolving debt in the capital
structure. Under Moody's Loss Given Default (LGD) Methodology, the
unsecured notes reflect both the overall probability of default of
the company, to which Moody's assigns a PDR of B2, and a loss
given default of LGD 4, 69%.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the demand
for high horsepower rigs will remain healthy through 2013 and
Pioneer will manage its liquidity and leverage prudently as it
continues its aggressive expansion.

Increased diversification, strong contract support, and the
ability to grow and upgrade its rig fleet without significantly
increasing leverage from current levels would be keys to an
upgrade given Pioneer's small size and the cyclical nature of the
onshore drilling sector. An upgrade is possible if the company can
sustain leverage below 2.5x.

A downgrade could occur if the company significantly debt finances
it growth or encounters severe erosion of liquidity. More
specifically, if debt to EBITDA rises above 3.5x, the CFR could be
lowered to B3.

The principal methodologies used in rating Pioneer was the Global
Oilfield Services Industry Methodology published in December 2009
and the Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Pioneer Drilling Company, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas,
provides land contract drilling services as well as production
services to independent and major oil and gas exploration and
production companies.


PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT: Moody's Says 'B1' CFR Unchanged
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's said that the changes to Pharmaceutical Product
Development Inc.'s debt issuance is a slight credit positive, but
that ratings -- including a B1 Corporate Family Rating, Ba3 rating
on the Senior Secured Credit Facility and B3 rating on the
unsecured bonds -- remain unchanged. This follows changes to the
deal structure including an upsized term loan and reduced size of
the notes offering.

Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc. is a leading global
contract research organization. The company provides preclinical
drug discovery, Phase I through Phase IV clinical development,
post-approval services as well as laboratory services to
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and academic customers, among
others. Following the close of its leveraged buyout, PPD will be
owned by The Carlyle Group and Hellman & Friedman. Net revenues
for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 approximated $1.47
billion.


PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT: S&P Keeps 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services's B+(prelim)/Stable/--
corporate credit and other preliminary ratings on Wilmington,
N.C.-based Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc. remain
unchanged following changes to the proposed financing transaction.

"The changes to the proposed transaction include an upsizing of
the term loan B facility by $125 million (to $1,450 million) and a
downsizing of the senior notes by a like amount to $575 million.
These changes do not affect our calculation of adjusted leverage
of above 6.0x and our perception that the company's financial risk
profile is highly leveraged. Similarly, the proposed change to
make the term loan covenant-light aids liquidity, but does not
change our assessment that PPD's liquidity is adequate," S&P said.

"Our speculative-grade preliminary ratings on contract research
organization (CRO) Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc. (PPD)
primarily reflect the company's highly leveraged financial risk
profile following the planned leveraged buyout (LBO) by Hellman &
Friedman and the Carlyle Group for $4 billion (including fees).
The LBO will result in pro forma adjusted leverage of more than 6x
and funds from operations to total debt of about 10%. PPD's
leading market position in the late-stage clinical segment of the
CRO market, and our favorable view of the CRO industry's medium-
term growth prospects support our belief that PPD has a fair
business risk profile, despite the potential that contract losses
could cloud revenue visibility. We currently believe PPD will
generate low- to mid-single-digit revenue and EBITDA growth
over the near term. For the complete corporate analysis, please
see 'Research Update: Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc.
Assigned Preliminary 'B+' Rating, Stable Outlook,' published Nov.
11, 2011, on Ratings Direct on the Global Credit Portal," S&P
stated.

QUINCY MEDICAL: Releases Stall Confirmation of Liquidating Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Melvin S. Hoffman said in a Nov. 16, 2011
Memorandum that Quincy Medical Center, Inc., Quincy ED Physicians,
Inc., and Quincy Physician Corporation and their joint plan of
liquidation are in compliance with all applicable requirements of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code except Sec. 1129(a)(1).  Judge Hoffman
said the debtors' joint plan will be confirmable if the debtors'
releases do not include the creditors' committee or officers,
directors and others described in clauses (a) and (d) of the
definition of Released Parties under the plan; if the plan's third
party releases are limited to those who actually submitted ballots
accepting the plan; if the injunction provision of the plan is
removed or appropriate compliance with Rule 2002(c)(3) occurs; and
if the plan's exemption from transfer taxes is limited to post-
confirmation transfers.  The Court gave the debtors until Nov. 21,
2011, to submit either a proposed confirmation order modifying the
plan in accordance with the Court's memorandum or a request for
other appropriate relief.

The United States Trustee has objected to the proposed releases
under the plan.  Judge Hoffman held that the debtors' proposed
release of the indenture trustee and the bondowners is justified
as these parties have made material concessions and contributed
significant consideration to the debtors' plan.

However, Judge Hoffman said there does not appear to be any
justification for the release of the debtors' affiliates,
subsidiaries, officers, directors and others identified in clause
(a) of the definition of Released Parties or of the creditors'
committee and its affiliates and representatives under the plan.
There has been no showing that the debtors' directors and officers
contributed significantly to the administration of the bankruptcy
cases or to the formulation of the debtors' plan.

While there appears to be an identity of interests between and
among the debtors and their directors and officers arising from
the debtors' obligation to indemnify them, Judge Hoffman pointed
to the court's analysis in In re Washington Mutual, Inc., 442 B.R.
314, 346 (Bankr. D. Del. 2011), that such an identity of interests
by itself is insufficient to justify releases.  As for the
creditors' committee, which is entirely a creature of the
bankruptcy process, the Court said the panel may be entitled to
exculpation for its active role in these cases but a broad release
which encompasses pre-petition causes of action seems unnecessary
and irrelevant.

A hearing on confirmation of the debtors' joint plan was held on
Nov. 8, 2011.

Radient said in October 2010 it incurred a trigger event on the
12% Convertible Notes issued in first and second quarter of 2010
due to its failure to have the related registration statement
declared effective by June 1, 2010.  The Company filed on Sept. 7,
2010, an Event of Default under those same notes occurred since it
did not hold the related shareholder meeting by Aug. 31, 2010.

RPC's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2010, included
an audit opinion with a "going concern" explanatory paragraph.  As
reported by the TCR on May 31, 2011, KMJ Corbin & Company LLP,
in Costa Mesa, California, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred significant operating
losses, had negative cash flows from operations in 2010 and 2009,
and has a working capital deficit of approximately $53 million at
Dec. 31, 2010.


RADIOSHACK CORP: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
and senior unsecured debt ratings on Fort-Worth, Texas-based
RadioShack Corp. to 'BB-' from 'BB'. The outlook is stable.

"The recovery rating remains '4', indicating our expectations for
average (30% to 50%) recovery in the event of a payment default,"
S&P said.

"The downgrade of RadioShack reflects its weak operating and
financial performance over the past few quarters, and our belief
that all segments of the company's business will remain under
margin pressure," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jayne
Ross. "It also incorporates our view that credit metrics will not
return to prior levels in the near term and the questionable
timing of the company's more aggressive financial policies."

"The ratings on RadioShack reflect our view that the company will
maintain its current operating performance in the near term given
the very highly competitive environment for mobility products and
weak economic conditions," continued Ms. Ross. "We expect flat to
modest sales growth in the wireless segment, but believe sales
will remain down in the company's other segments along with lower
margins."

"Overall, we assess the company's financial risk profile as
aggressive. This reflects, in our view, more aggressive financial
policies at a time of operational difficulties, increased debt
leverage, weaker credit metrics, and moderate cash flow
generation," S&P said.


RIVER ROCK: Reports $12.8 Million Income from Operations in Q3
--------------------------------------------------------------
River Rock Entertainment Authority filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
reporting income from operations of $12.80 million on $31.30
million of net revenues for the three-month period ended Sept. 30,
2011, compared with income from operations of $10.50 million on
$30.37 million of net revenues for the same period during the
prior year.

River Rock also reported income from operations of $37.09 million
on $93.82 million of net revenues for the nine-month period ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with income from operations of
$36.09 million on $95.05 million of net revenues for the same
period a year ago.

River Rock's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$222.79 million in total assets, $214.66 million in total
liabilities, all current, and $8.13 million in total net assets.

                         About River Rock

Headquartered in Geyserville, California, River Rock Entertainment
Authority is a governmental instrumentality of the Dry Creek
Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, a federally recognized Indian
tribe.  River Rock Casino is a governmental development project of
the Authority.  The Casino offers Class III slot and video poker
gaming machines, house banked table games, including Blackjack,
Three card poker, Mini-baccarat and Pai Gow poker, Poker,
featuring Texas Hold' em, comprehensive food and non-alcoholic
beverage offerings, and goods for sale on tribal land located in
Geyserville, California.

                          *     *      *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 8, 2011, Moody's Investors Service
lowered River Rock Entertainment Authority's ("RREA" or
"Authority") Probability of Default Rating ("PDR") to D from Caa2
and its Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") to Ca from Caa2.

Moody's rating action was prompted by the Authority's inability to
complete the proposed refinancing transaction on time, resulting
in non-payment of the principal amount due on its existing debt of
$200 million senior secured notes on their maturity date of
November 1, 2011, which Moody's views as a default.  The downgrade
of the CFR to Ca reflects Moody's view that the current debt
holders could incur a possible material impairment in the debt
restructuring process.  The company is in discussion with lenders
and has entered into a forbearance and support agreement dated
November 2, 2011 with approximately 60% of note holders that
contemplates an exchange offer.

In the Dec. 13, 2010 edition of the Troubled Company Reporter,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Sonoma
County, California-based River Rock Entertainment Authority; the
issuer credit rating was lowered to 'B-' from 'B+'.  At the same
time, S&P placed the ratings on CreditWatch with negative
implications.  RREA was created to operate the River Rock casino
for the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians (the Tribe).

"The rating downgrade and CreditWatch listing reflect River Rock's
limited progress in addressing near-term refinancing needs
associated with its $200 million senior notes due November 2011,
as well as other debt held at the Tribe," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Michael Halchak.  "With less than 12 months to the
maturity on the senior notes, S&P has become increasingly
concerned around River Rock's ability to successfully address
these refinancing needs.  In addition, S&P believes River Rock
faces additional liquidity needs related to the Tribe's memorandum
of agreement with Sonoma County, associated with infrastructure
spending needs in and around the casino."

                       Bankruptcy Warning

The Company has a significant amount of debt coming due in fiscal
2011 that it may not be able to repay.  The Company's $200.0
million of Senior Notes mature in November 2011.  The Company has
been exploring its options to refinance its Senior Notes and
expect to propose a refinancing transaction in the near future.
While the Company expects to be able to refinance this debt, there
can be no assurances that this in fact will occur.  In such case,
failure to refinance or extend the maturity date of this debt will
give the holders of such debt certain rights under the Company's
indenture which are limited by the terms of the Company's
indenture, the Company's waiver of sovereign immunity and remedies
available to creditors to Native American gaming operators under
federal law and by the Company's Compact.  In addition, it is
uncertain whether the Company or the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of
Pomo Indians may be a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.  Without bankruptcy court protection, other creditors might
receive preferential payments or otherwise obtain more than they
would have under a bankruptcy court proceeding.  If the Company
commences a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the bankruptcy
court does not dismiss the case, payments from the debtor would
cease.  It is uncertain how long payments under the Senior Notes
could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case.


RAYMOND GUILLAUME: BAC Home Loan's $150T Secured Claim Allowed
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Joel B. Rosenthal allowed a secured claim filed
by BAC Home Loan Servicing LP for $150,375 over the objection of
Raymond Marc Guillaume, Jr., d/b/a DWP Translation Services.


Bankruptcy Judge Joel B. Rosenthal allowed a secured claim filed
by BAC Home Loan Servicing LP for $150,375 over the objection of
Raymond Marc Guillaume, Jr., d/b/a DWP Translation Services.

The Debtor:

     -- asserts that the "Assignment of Mortgage to BAC, dated
        March 14, 2011, occurred after" the petition date and was
        therefore a violation of Section 549 of the Bankruptcy
        Code "as a voidable transfer because the assignment was an
        attempt to perfect a lien after the commencement of the
        case."

     -- asserts that "the Assignment of Mortgage to BAC, dated
        March 14, 2011, occurred after" the petition date and was
        therefore a violation of Section 362(a)(4)("an attempt to
        create, perfect or enforce a lien against property of the
        estate after the filing of the case"), and (a)(5)(" an
        attempt to create, perfect or enforce a lien against
        property of Debtor, based upon an alleged claim that arose
        before the filing of this case").  The Debtor's counsel
        also asserted violations of Section 362(a)(3) and (a)(6).

     -- questions the veracity of the assignment of the mortgage
        to BAC due to the different venue states of the assignor,
        assignee and the acknowledgement location of the Notary
        Public.

The Court:

     -- held that Section 549 allows the trustee to "avoid a
        transfer of property of the estate."  The assignment of
        the mortgage is not a violation of Section 549 as the
        mortgage and note are not property of the estate. The lien
        was perfected when the mortgage was recorded, and
        therefore Section 549 does not apply.

     -- finds that the assignment of a mortgage and note does not
        fall under the purview of Section 362.

     -- finds that BAC's counsel adequately explained the
        different venues, and therefore does not find the
        assignment of the mortgage questionable.

Raymond Marc Guillaume, Jr., filed a pro se Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. E.D. N.Y. Case No. 10-51417) on Dec. 6, 2010, listing
under $1 million in assets and debts.


RED DOOR: Miss. Court Rejects Bid to Transfer Case Venue
--------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Katharine M. Samson declined the request of First
American Bank and Trust to transfer to the Eastern District of
Louisiana the venue of Red Door Property Management LLC's Chapter
11 bankruptcy.

FABT, the only creditor listed in Red Door's schedules, asserts
that Red Door's Chapter 11 bankruptcy venue was selected pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1408(2) on a "tenuous allegation of affiliate
jurisdiction" in conjunction with the individual Chapter 11
proceeding filed by Joel C. Groshong, who claims a 99% ownership
interest in Red Door.  FABT argues that administration of Red
Door's bankruptcy case in the Southern District of Mississippi
Court would be an inefficient and wasteful use of the Court's
resources, and would be inconvenient and burdensome to FABT.
FABT, among other things, points out that the debt arose in the
Eastern District of Louisiana, witnesses and the debtor's real
property are located there, FABT is located there, and Red Door is
domiciled there.  FABT urges that transfer to Louisiana could have
no adverse impact on any other non-affiliated creditor of Red
Door, and that venue should be transferred to the Eastern District
of Louisiana in the interest of justice and for the convenience of
the parties pursuant to F.R.B.P. 1014(a)(1).

Red Door asserts that venue is appropriate in the Southern
District of Mississippi Court on the basis of affiliate
jurisdiction since Mr. Groshong is the majority equity security
holder of Red Door and the Debtor's "nerve center" is located in
Mississippi.  Red Door states that it is actively managed and
controlled in Mississippi, that it conducts its banking in
Mississippi and that it owns personal property located in
Mississippi.  The Debtor also urges that FABT will have to deal
with litigation in Mr. Groshong's individual bankruptcy in
Mississippi, and that a transfer of venue will require the Debtor
to incur unnecessary expenses in litigating in two courts in two
states.  In addition, Red Door asserts that actions in its Chapter
11 case will impact Mr. Groshong's individual bankruptcy case with
respect to his equity security interest and guaranty of the debt
to FABT.

In siding with Red Door, Judge Samson acknowledged that the
Louisiana venue is more convenient for FABT.  However, she noted
the relatively close proximity between the venues and took
judicial notice that the distance between the courthouse in
Gulfport, Mississippi, where Judge Samson regularly sits, and the
courthouse in New Orleans, Louisiana, is approximately 80 miles;
and the distance between the courthouse in Hattiesburg,
Mississippi, where she sits one day a month as an accommodation to
parties in the Hattiesburg area, and the courthouse in New Orleans
is approximately 112 miles.

Judge Samson said FABT has not met its burden of proof to justify
a transfer of venue on the factors relating to proximity of the
creditors, the debtor and witnesses to the Court.  The Court does
not find there would be a significant difference between distances
to be traveled by the parties or witnesses if they are obliged to
come to either Gulfport or Hattiesburg, Mississippi for any
hearings at which their presence would be required, instead of to
the courthouse in New Orleans.

Judge Samson also held that the Red Door bankruptcy case would be
more efficiently and economically administered in her Court as an
affiliate case to a pending bankruptcy case.

four-year stint, claims his former employer violated the
employment agreement the pair had worked out long ago, according

RICKY MURRAY: BB&T's Fraudulent Conveyance Suit Goes to Trial
-------------------------------------------------------------
The lawsuit, BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY, v. RICKY V. MURRAY,
CONNIE B. MURRAY, CASTLEBROOK PROPERTIES, LLC, BRIGHTSTAR
PROPERTIES, LLC, and EAST WAKE PROPERTIES, LLC, Adv. Proc. No.
11-00143 (Bankr. E.D.N.C.), will proceed to trial after Bankruptcy
Judge Stephani W. Humrickhouse denied the plaintiff's request for
summary judgment in a Nov. 16, 2011 Order available at
http://is.gd/PQCpHcfrom Leagle.com.

Ricky V. Murray and Connie B. Murray hold 100% ownership interests
in Castlebrook Properties LLC, Brightstar Properties LLC, and East
Wake Properties LLC.  Two of the Corporate Defendants, Castlebrook
and East Wake, were administratively dissolved on Feb. 25, 2009,
by the North Carolina Secretary of State.  The related entities
engaged in the business of owning and renting real estate, and a
corporation known as Lisa Dee's Florist, Inc.

Pre-bankruptcy, the Defendants became obligated to BB&T pursuant
to various promissory notes secured by deeds of trust, all of
which were cross-collateralized.  The Defendants defaulted and
BB&T made demand for payment on Sept. 1, 2010.  BB&T initiated
foreclosure proceedings on Sept. 21, 2010, and foreclosure orders
scheduling the sales for the afternoon of Dec. 1, 2010 were
entered by the Wake County Superior Court on Oct. 14, 2010.  On
the morning of Dec. 1, 2010, the Corporate Defendants conveyed for
nominal consideration all of their real property to the Debtors by
non-warranty deed: one parcel from Castlebrook, 11 parcels from
East Wake, and three from Brightstar.  That afternoon, the
foreclosure sales were held, but during the 10-day upset bid
period, the Murrays filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D.N.C.
Case No. 10-10143) on Dec. 10, 2010, listing all of the
Transferred Property as assets on their schedules.

As of the petition date, Brightstar owed BB&T, exclusive of
guarantor obligations, the sum of $265,466.73; Castlebrook owed
BB&T, exclusive of guarantor obligations, the sum of
$2,844,273.50; and East Wake owed BB&T, exclusive of guarantor
obligations, the sum of $195,757.83.

On March 21, 2011, BB&T obtained judgments against the defendants
in Wake County Superior Court on the notes and guarantees as
follows: Brightstar $3,154,663.49; Castlebrook $2,841,168.29; and,
East Wake $3,071,470.81.

BB&T initiated the adversary proceeding seeking to avoid the
transfers of the Corporate Defendants to the Debtors as fraudulent
transfers under state law, and because certain of them were made
ultra vires.  BB&T moved for summary judgment on May 27, 2011.

Judge Humrickhouse said there is evidence of non-fraudulent intent
in making the transfers.  The Debtors claim they had no intent to
defraud BB&T, and that their actual intent was to assist the
Corporate Defendants to reorganize their debts.  Those debts were
guaranteed by the Individual Debtors and the Corporate Defendants.
Those debts were also secured by deeds of trust which contained
cross-collateralization provisions.  The Debtors argue that since
BB&T has the same collateral, the same obligors, and the same
indebtedness after the transfer as it did before, it has not been
"hindered, delayed or defrauded."  Additionally, the Debtors
contend that the filing of one, instead of four, petitions was
both administratively and financially more efficient.

Judge Humrickhouse believes there are genuine factual disputes
regarding the intent of the Defendants and the effect of the
filing of the petition, rendering summary judgment inappropriate.
She said it is premature to deal with the issue of fraud in this
case on a motion for summary judgment.

Based in Los Angeles, Simon Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: SWWI) no longer
has any operating business.  Prior to August 2001, the Company
operated as a multi-national full-service promotional marketing
company, specializing in the design and development of high-impact
promotional products and sales promotions.  At Dec. 31, 2009,
the Company held an investment in Yucaipa AEC Associates, LLC, a
limited liability company that is controlled by the Yucaipa
Companies, a Los Angeles, California based investment firm.
Yucaipa AEC in turn principally held an investment in the common
stock of Source Interlink Companies, a direct-to-retail magazine
distribution and fulfillment company in North America, and a
provider of magazine information and front-end management services
for retailers and a publisher of approximately 75 magazine titles.
Yucaipa AEC held this investment in Source until April 28, 2009,
when Source filed a pre-packaged plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

The Company reported a net loss of $2.33 million on $0 of revenue
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of
$2.11 million on $0 of revenue during the prior year.

As reported by the TCR on April 4, 2011, BDO USA, LLP, in Los
Angeles, Calif., expressed substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent auditor
noted that the Company has suffered significant losses from
operations, has a lack of any operating revenue and is subject to
potential liquidation in connection with a recapitalization
agreement.

On June 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Exchange and
Recapitalization Agreement with Overseas Toys, L.P., the then
holder of all the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the
Company, pursuant to which all the outstanding preferred stock
would be converted into shares of common stock representing 70% of
the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the
conversion.  The Recapitalization Agreement was negotiated on the
Company's behalf by the Special Committee of disinterested
directors which, based in part upon the opinion of the Special
Committee's financial advisor, determined that the transaction was
fair to the holders of common stock from a financial point of
view.  At a special meeting held on Sept. 18, 2008, the
stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the Company's
certificate of incorporation proposed in order to effect a
recapitalization of the Company pursuant to the terms of the
Recapitalization Agreement.

Under the Recapitalization Agreement, the Company issued
37,940,756 shares of common stock with a fair value of $15.2
million in exchange for 34,717 shares of preferred stock
(representing all outstanding preferred shares) with a carrying
value of $34.7 million and related accrued dividends of
approximately $147,000.  The Company recorded $19.7 million to
retained earnings in September 2008 representing the excess of
carrying value of the preferred stock received over the fair
market value of the common shares issued as such difference
essentially represented a return to the Company.

modest continued improvement in operating performance.  Improved
operations, largely the result of positive momentum in key end
markets and restructuring activities, have allowed Stanadyne to
maintain positive funds from operations despite increased cash

                           Going Concern

The Company has accumulated losses of $10,563,169 for the year
ended June 30, 2011.  The Company's net working capital deficiency
and significant accumulated losses raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

However, management believes that the Company is able to generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and
ultimately to attain successful operations in respect of the
agency sales and property management operations.

As reported by the TCR on April 21, 2011, Kenne Ruan, CPA, P.C.,
in Woodbridge, CT, USA, noted that the Company has  significant
accumulated losses from operations and has a net capital
deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.


SWIFT ENERGY: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Rating to New Senior Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Swift Energy
Company's (Swift Energy) offering of $250 million senior unsecured
notes due 2022. The proceeds of the offering will be used to for
general corporate purposes. The rating outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

"This notes offering will provide Swift Energy with funding for
its 2012 capital spending program; for 2011 the company's capital
spend is projected to approximate $500 million on a full year
basis," commented Andrew Brooks, Moody's Vice President. "Through
an accelerated pace of development and a more efficient
exploitation of its Gulf Coast resource base, the company is
seeking to solidify a reversal of prior years' negative trends in
production and reserve growth."

Swift Energy's B2 Corporate Family rating (CFR) reflects its scale
in terms of production and proved reserves, high but declining
finding and development (F&D) costs, and its relatively stable
debt leverage. Despite a sizeable capital spend on acquisitions,
and exploration and development over the past several years, the
company's year-end 2010 proved reserves position was virtually
unchanged from that of 2007, while production on a boe basis was
down 22%.

However, 2011's full year production is poised to rebound, as
evidenced by the 27% increase achieved over the first three-
quarters of 2011 compared to 2010's nine-month period, as a result
of a more focused capital spend and a more efficient resource
exploitation program. This more focused approach is also beginning
to reduce the company's recent record of excessively high F&D
costs.

Swift Energy operates in three core Texas-Louisiana producing
regions; its principal focus is the Olmos formation and the
liquids rich Eagle Ford shale in South Texas, to which
approximately 80% of its capital spending is dedicated. The
company expects 2011's full year capital spend to be in the range
of $480-$520 million, up approximately 40% from 2101's level. This
elevated level of capital spend is driving the production gains
evidenced through 2011' first three quarters. The rapid growth
being pursued by the company does entail execution risk that could
result in higher than planned costs and leverage metrics; however,
this high growth rate does stand in sharp contrast to prior years'
declines and high costs, which generated a leveraged full-cycle
ratio consistently below 1.0x.

Our stable outlook is based on the expectation that Swift Energy's
production and proved reserve growth over the remainder of 2011
and 2012 will be sufficient to keep leverage on production and
proved developed reserves at levels consistent with historical
levels and with its B2 CFR. Pro forma for the senior notes
offering, debt to average daily production at September 30, 2011
would increase rather substantially to approximately $26,700 per
boe, although remaining consistent with its B2 CFR. However,
factoring in the company's 2012 production guidance, debt on
production could fall to under $22,000 per boe, a level consistent
with recent historical averages. If Swift Energy continues to grow
production and reserves on a consistent basis while reducing F&D
costs to a sustainable level of under $20 per boe and maintaining
a moderate use of debt leverage, Moody's could upgrade the rating.
Conversely, Swift's rating could face a downgrade should F&D costs
remain at uncompetitive levels, or if lackluster drilling results
forestall anticipated production gains and reserve adds.
Additionally, Moody's expects capital spending to realign itself
with cash flow, unlike the company's expectation for 2012, or look
to equity funding as the company has done in the recent past to
maintain an appropriate capital structure.

The B3 rating on the proposed $250 million of senior notes
reflects both the overall probability of default of Swift Energy,
to which Moody's assigns a PDR of B2, and a loss given default of
LGD4. The company has a $500 million $300 million borrowing base
secured revolving credit facility, $250 million senior notes due
2017 and $225 million senior notes due 2020. The notes are
subordinate to the senior secured credit facility's potential
priority claim to the company's assets. The size of the potential
senior secured claims relative to the outstanding unsecured notes
results in the senior notes being rated one notch beneath the B2
CFR under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.

The principal methodology used in rating Swift Energy was the
Independent Exploration and Production (E&P) Industry Methodology
published in December 2008.


SWIFT ENERGY: S&P Assigns 'B+' Rating to $250-Mil. Senior Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' issue-level
rating (the same as the corporate credit rating) to Swift Energy
Co.'s proposed $250 million senior unsecured notes due 2022. "We
assigned a '3' recovery rating to this debt, indicating our
expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for creditors
in the event of a payment default," S&P said.

"At the same time, we lowered the issue-level ratings on the
company's $250 million 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2017 and
its $225 million 8.875% senior unsecured notes due 2020 to 'B+'
from 'BB-', and revised the recovery ratings to '3' from '2',
indicating our expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for
creditors in the event of a payment default," S&P related.

Proceeds from the proposed notes will be used for general
corporate purposes, primarily capital expenditures.

"The 'B+' corporate credit rating on Houston-based Swift Energy
reflects the company's small and geographically concentrated
reserve base with a high proportion of proved undeveloped reserves
(55%), along with above-average finding and development costs. Our
ratings also reflect Swift's balanced production mix between
natural gas and liquids, long proved reserve life, and low debt
leverage for the rating category. For more details, see our
summary analysis on Swift Energy published Nov. 8, 2011," S&P
said.

UNIVAR INC: S&P Raises Corp. Credit Rating to B+; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Redmond, Wash.-based Univar Inc. to 'B+' from 'B'. "At
the same time, we raised our issue-level rating on the firm's
$1.98 billion term loan B due June 2017 to 'B+' from 'B'. The
recovery rating is '3', indicating our expectation for a
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment
default. The outlook is stable," S&P said.

"The ratings on Univar reflect its highly leveraged financial
profile," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Henry Fukuchi.
"The upgrade reflects our expectation that favorable business
conditions and operating trends over the next couple of years will
continue to support adequate cash flow generation and strong
liquidity, as well as a modestly improving financial profile."

"Operating trends have been favorable in the past year primarily
due to increased volumes driven by acquisitions -- mostly related
to Univar's December 2010 acquisition of Basic Chemical Solutions
(BCS) -- and ongoing operating efficiencies and synergies from
those acquisitions. Consequently, based on our scenario forecasts,
we expect that total adjusted debt to EBITDA and funds from
operations (FFO) to total adjusted debt will improve to near 5x
and 10%, from about 6x and 9.4%, respectively, as of June 30,
2011. Ongoing cost-reduction initiatives and increased demand for
chemical distribution services, which we expect over the next
several years, should also contribute to improved credit metrics,"
S&P said.

Univar's highly leveraged capital structure and aggressive
financial policies more than offset its satisfactory business
profile, which is characterized by its position as a leading
distributor of specialty and commodity chemicals across broadly
diversified end markets ranging from cyclical segments (such as
paints and coatings) to stable end markets (like pharmaceuticals,
food, and personal care).

"We expect profitability to gradually improve over the next few
years due to increased volumes from the BCS acquisition and
subsequent smaller acquisitions and favorable industry trends.
However, volumes and profitability could be soft during cyclical
downturns in key end markets and during periods of slow economic
growth. We expect ongoing cost-reduction efforts, productivity
improvements, and smarter pricing initiatives to bolster operating
results so that operating margins (before depreciation and
amortization) should remain about 7% in 2011. We believe Univar
could improve its margins by 25 to 50 basis points in the next few
years on a better product mix through small bolt-on acquisitions
coupled with various margin-improvement efforts," S&P said.

"The satisfactory business risk profile also reflects our
expectation for favorable long-term trends for large diversified
chemical distributors. We expect increasing global demand for
chemical products and an increase in outsourcing trends to support
Univar's long-term growth prospects. We also believe this industry
is consolidating, so further acquisitions are likely. Currently,
smaller distributors make up approximately 52% of the North
American distribution market and 74% of the European distribution
market. We factor into our ratings the potential that Univar will
seek additional growth and more-extensive product lines through
modest acquisitions, although we don't expect that this to stretch
the financial profile significantly beyond current levels," S&P
stated.

"The outlook reflects stable operating results and our belief that
relatively favorable business conditions will allow Univar to
maintain a financial profile consistent with the ratings. We
expect operating results will be supported by increasing volumes
mostly through acquisitions and stable margins supported by
various cost-reduction efforts and synergies related to its
acquisitions. The stable outlook also reflects our view that
modest cash flow generation should continue to support capital
expenditures, small bolt-on acquisitions, and gradual debt
reduction," S&P said.

"We could raise the ratings modestly if FFO to total adjusted debt
exceeds 12% and total adjusted debt to EBITDA decreases below 5x
on a sustained basis," Mr. Fukuchi continued. "Although we don't
expect to lower the ratings, we could do so if liquidity declines
significantly or if free cash flow generation is lower than
projected because of unexpected business challenges. We could also
lower the rating if operating margins weaken by 150 basis points
or more or if volumes decline 20% or more from current
expectations. At that point, we expect that the company's credit
metrics would weaken, including leverage deteriorating to 7x or
more and FFO to total adjusted debt decreasing to the low- to mid-
single-digit percentage area. We could also lower the ratings if
unexpected cash outlays or aggressive financial policy decisions
reduce the company's liquidity position or stretch its financial
profile."


UNIVERSAL BIOENERGY: Delays Filing of Third Quarter Form 10-Q
-------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Bioenergy, Inc., informed the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission that it is still awaiting third party
documentation in order to properly prepare a complete and accurate
Form 10-Q.  The Company has been unable to receive this data in a
timely manner without unreasonable effort and expenses.  For the

VERIFONE SYSTEMS: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services revised its outlook on San Jose,
Calif.-based VeriFone Systems Inc. to stable from positive
following the announcement that VeriFone will acquire Point
International, a Sweden-based provider of payment services to
retailers. "At the same time, we placed the rating on the $316
million unsecured convertible notes on CreditWatch with negative
implications. In addition, we affirmed our 'BB-' corporate credit
rating on the company," S&P said.

"The outlook change on VeriFone reflects potential integration
risks with the announced Point International acquisition in
addition to the recently completed Hypercom acquisition, and
higher pro forma leverage," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Andrew Chang. "Based on its solid market position in its core
products and new growth initiatives, however, we anticipate that
VeriFone will gradually de-lever through revenue and EBITDA
expansion."

"We consider VeriFone's business risk profile as 'fair',
reflecting a relatively narrow position in the electronic payment
solutions market, and the need to competitively respond to
evolving technology and regulatory standards," continued Mr.
Chang. "VeriFone's total addressable market continues to expand,
with new devices and mobile payment solutions offering meaningful
growth opportunities. An increasing portion of the company's
revenues is recurring and service-based, including that of Point,
which should contribute to a more diversified and stable revenue
stream in the future. However, integrating both Hypercom and Point
will require management's time and resources, potentially
disrupting near-term operating performance."

VUZIX CORP: In Default Under Two Loan Agreements
------------------------------------------------
Vuzix Corporation, on Dec. 23, 2010, entered into a Convertible,
Senior Secured Term loan in the principal amount of $4,000,000
with LC Capital Master Fund Ltd.  Under this agreement, the lender
has a first priority security interest on the Company's
intellectual property and a second priority security interest on
all of the Company's other assets.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, the outstanding loan balance plus accrued
interest was $4,367,200.

The Senior Loan agreement contains certain covenants, including a
covenant requiring the Company to meet quarterly EBITDA targets.
The Company was not in compliance with this covenant as of the end
of its fiscal quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011.  If the lender does
not grant a waiver with respect to this covenant default or
forbear its right to foreclose upon its collateral, the lender may
accelerate payment of all amounts due it and enforce its remedies
to sell its collateral.

On March 21, 1011 the Company entered into a Loan and Security
Agreement with Bridge Bank National Association.  Pursuant to that
Agreement, that bank provided the Company with a revolving loan

subordinate to the Bank facility.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, the outstanding loan balance was $452,081.

The loan agreement requires the Company to maintain asset certain
coverage and to maintain quarterly earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) losses and non-cash
compensation or expense, measured monthly on a trailing 90 day
basis, of not less than minus $(150,000).  The Company was not in

As reported by the TCR on April 6, 2011, EFP Rotenberg, LLP, in
Rochester, New York, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred substantial losses
from operations in recent years.  In addition, the Company is
dependent on its various debt and compensation agreements to fund
its working capital needs.  According to the independent auditors,
some of these obligations include financial covenants which the
company must comply with.


WEST PENN: S&P Affirms 'B+' Rating on $737MM Fixed-Rated Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' rating on
$737 million series 2007A fixed-rate bonds issued by the Allegheny
County Hospital Development Authority for West Penn Allegheny
Health System (WPAHS). "The outlook remains developing until an
affiliation agreement with Highmark Inc. (A/Stable) receives all
necessary regulatory approvals, at which time we will likely
change the outlook to positive. Highmark is the dominant insurer
in western Pennsylvania," S&P said.

"The developing outlook reflects our opinion that the rating and
outlook could either improve or deteriorate over the next 12
months," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cynthia Keller
Macdonald. "A positive outlook is likely once the parties receive
all approvals and the affiliation agreement is consummated, and a
higher rating is possible with both a signed definitive agreement
and evidence that Highmark's strategies have resulted in improved
finances and stabilized volume at WPAHS," said Ms. Keller
Macdonald.

Credit factors that could result in a downgrade or negative
outlook include an inability to get the transaction approved by
regulators, continued decreased volume, or failure to show steady
improvement toward improved finances throughout fiscal year 2012.

The 'B+' rating reflects Standard & Poor's opinion of WPAHS':

    Deep speculative-grade financial profile stemming from years
    of management and operational turmoil;

    Significant competition in the greater Pittsburgh market from
    University of Pittsburgh Medical Center;

    Substantial pension and debt obligations;

    Continuing revenue and volume declines;

    Losses from employed physicians; and

    Relatively weak demographic profile of WPAHS' service area.

Positive rating factors that support the current rating include
WPAHS':

    Increased financial cushion provided by the transfer of $150
    million to WPAHS from Highmark with further transfers
    anticipated in the future;

    Potential benefits from its newly formed relationship with
    Highmark, which could result in additional business to WPAHS
    and subsequently improve its financial profile; and

    Critical mass of inpatient admissions, which cannot be easily
    accommodated by other local providers making WPAHS vital to
    the market as a whole.

Although Highmark's stated investment in WPAHS is limited to $475
million, Standard & Poor's believes Highmark has ample resources
to develop non-hospital-based network strategies that could
translate into improved volume, revenue, and profits at WPAHS.

WPAHS includes four acute-care hospitals at five locations in and
around Pittsburgh.


Z TRIM HOLDINGS: Delays Filing of Third Quarter Form 10-Q
---------------------------------------------------------
Z Trim Holdings notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that it will be late in filing is Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2011.  Due to the
unfortunate and untimely death of the Company's controller,
additional time is needed to gather and report the necessary
information in order to complete the Form 10-Q.

                            About Z Trim

Mundelein, Ill.-based Z Trim Holdings, Inc., is a functional food
ingredient company which provides custom product solutions that
help answer the food industry's problems.  Z Trim's revolutionary

The Company reported a net loss of $10.91 million on $903,780 in
total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a
net loss of $12.21 million on $559,910 of revenue during the prior
year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $6.50 million
in total assets, $16.09 million in total liabilities, $1.52
million in total commitment and contingencies, and a $11.11
million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 12, 2010,
M&K, CPAs, PLLC, in Houston, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, following its
2009 results.  The independent auditors noted that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and requires additional
financing to continue in operation.

The Company said that for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, it did not
have enough cash on hand to meet its current liabilities or to
fund on-going operations beyond one year.  As a result, the report
of independent registered public accounting firm included an
explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt of the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's cash on hand as of Dec. 31, 2010 is $2,327,013.
Since June 2010, the Company brought in $8,170,988 in funds
through the sale of Preferred Stock, and our investors converted
approximately $8,100,000 of convertible debt into common stock.
In addition to the fundraising efforts, the Company intends to
make capital expenditures necessary to increase its capacity and
to reduce its cost per pound.  Due to the expected increase in
production capacity, the Company anticipates its sales for fiscal
year ended Dec. 31, 2011 will approximately double those of fiscal
year ended Dec. 31, 2010.

Although the Company has recurring operating losses and negative
cash flows from operating activities, the Company has positive
working capital and believe it has enough cash on hand to satisfy
current obligations.  If the Company is unsuccessful in its plans
to increase revenue and capacity, the impact may have a material
impairment on its ability to continue as a going concern.


* Court Denies Certiorari on Bankruptcy Case
--------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to accept an
appeal from a bankruptcy case decided late last year by the U.S.
Court of Appeals in San Francisco involving the question of what
is or isn't a claim.

Mr. Rochelle discloses that by deciding not to hear the case, the
high court ducked dealing with a possible conflict between
bankruptcy law and federal law governing mortgages.

The case, according to the report, arose from a lender's demand
that bankrupt borrowers make up pre-bankruptcy arrears on escrows.
The bankrupts successfully argued in the Court of Appeals that the
demand was a violation of the automatic bankruptcy stay stopping
actions to collect debt.

Mr. Rochelle relates that the majority opinion was by Circuit
Judge Maryanne Trump Barry from the Ninth Circuit in San
Francisco.  A dissenting opinion by Circuit Judge Dolores K.
Sloviter said it wasn't a stay violation.

The case in Supreme Court is Countrywide Home Loans Inc. v.
Rodriguez, 10-1285, U.S. Supreme Court. The case in the Ninth
Circuit is In re Rodriguez, 09-2724, U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Ninth Circuit (San Francisco)


* Federal Housing Administration Audit Sees Possible Bailout Need
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Bankruptcy Institute reports that chances are nearly
50% that the Federal Housing Administration will need a bailout
next year if the housing market deteriorates further, the agency's
independent auditor said in a report released Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the Department of Housing and Urban Development
released its annual report to Congress on the financial status of
the FHA Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund.  The insurance Fund is the
backbone of the FHA single-family and reverse mortgage programs.
In reporting on findings of the annual independent actuarial
study, HUD indicates that, in the midst of continued weakness in
housing markets across the county, the MMI Fund capital ratio
remains positive this year at 0.24%. With new risk controls and
premiums put in place by the Obama Administration, the independent
actuaries predict the Fund will return to the Congressionally-
mandated threshold of 2% capital more quickly than was projected
by last year's review. The economic value of new insurance
endorsements in FY 2011 for the Fund was nearly double that of FY
2010 endorsements, being close to $11 billion.

As was the case last year, the new actuarial study shows that FHA
is expected to sustain significant losses from loans insured prior
to 2009, and thus its capital reserve remains below the
congressionally mandated threshold of 2% of total insurance-in-
force.  However, the actuaries' report concludes that, barring a
further significant downturn in home prices, the MMI Fund will
start to rebuild capital in 2012, and return to a level of 2% by
2014 -- outpacing last year's prediction.  The actions taken by
this Administration have put FHA into a position where the
actuaries expect rapid growth in capital once the housing market
begins a broad-based recovery.

"In the midst of a tough housing market the FHA MMI Fund continues
to be actuarially sound,? said Acting FHA Commissioner Carol
Galante. "Because of the Obama  Administration's strategy to
protect the FHA Fund -- tightening of risk controls, increased
premiums to stabilize near-term finances, and expanded loss
mitigation assistance to avoid unnecessary claims -- this past
year's endorsements had the highest credit quality ever recorded,
and will yield historically high levels of net receipts in the
years ahead."

FHA's capital reserve ratio measures reserves in excess of those
needed to cover projected losses over the next 30 years. The
independent actuarial reviews of the MMI Fund estimate FHA's
capital reserve ratio to be 0.24% of total insurance-in-force this
year, falling from 0.50% in 2010. FHA's total liquid assets (cash
plus investments) grew by $800 million since last year, to $33.7
billion. That amount is $1.9 billion higher than at the end of FY
2009, and is also $7.7 billion higher than was predicted last year
by the independent actuaries. At the same time, the economic net
worth of the Fund fell by $2.1 billion this year, from $4.7
billion to $2.6 billion, as FHA continued to build loss reserves
to prepare for greater claims in the coming years.

Losses on loans insured through the first quarter of fiscal year
2009 continue to place a significant strain on the Fund and are
expected to reach $26 billion within a few more years. Though they
were prohibited in 2009, the ongoing effect of so-called "seller-
funded downpayment assistance loans" is still significant. The net
expected cost of those loans, as projected by the independent
actuaries, grew by $1.8 billion over the past year to $14.1
billion. Conversely, the actuaries found that the FY2010 and
FY2011 books are expected to be very profitable, providing
significant net revenues to offset losses on earlier books. Loans
insured to-date under the Obama Administration are providing $18
billion in economic value for the MMI Fund. Under the base-case
forecast used by the independent actuaries, the FY 2012 book will
add an additional $9 billion in economic value to the Fund.

Since taking office in 2009, the Obama Administration has
instituted sweeping reforms to strengthen the MMI Fund. New
policies have improved loan quality, strengthened lender
enforcement, and helped to protect future loan performance. This
has been the most comprehensive update to FHA credit policies,
risk management, lender monitoring, and consumer protections in
its history. To emphasize this new commitment to risk management,
HUD hired the first-ever FHA Chief Risk Officer and established a
permanent Risk Office to expand FHA's capacity to assess financial
and operational risk, perform more sophisticated data analysis,
and respond to market developments. HUD also increased enforcement
of FHA lenders, eliminated approval for loan correspondents, and
increased net worth requirements for lenders wanting to underwrite
FHA loans. Additionally, HUD introduced a new premium structure
that better aligns with current market conditions, and it set
underwriting minimums that combine credit score and down payment
requirements to balance risk management with broad access to
housing credit for borrowers who have historically met FHA credit
quality standards. Specifically, a minimum down payment of 10% is
now required of borrowers with credit scores below 580 and
applicants with credit scores below 500 are no longer eligible for
FHA insurance.

Over this past year, FHA:

     -- served more than 1.2 million households and insured $218
billion in single-family mortgages, bringing the active single
family portfolio to more than $1 trillion.

     -- enabled more than 585,000 families to become homeowners
for the first time. This represents 56% of all first-time buyers
in the nation.

     -- helped more than 362,000 families avoid foreclosure
through loss mitigation actions.

     -- helped 440,000 families to refinance their mortgage at
lower interest rates, saving households an average of more than
$160 per month.

     -- provided access to credit for close to 40% of all
homebuyers needing mortgages, including 60% of all African-
American and Hispanic homebuyers.

     -- reduced mortgage payments for 142,000 distressed
homeowners through loan modifications. While standard
modifications reduced typical payment burdens by 11% ($85), FHA
HAMP actions reduced average mortgage costs by 24% ($218).

* BOOK REVIEW: Ralph H. Kilmann's Beyond the Quick Fix
------------------------------------------------------
Author: Ralph H. Kilmann
Publisher: Beard Books
Hardcover: 320 pages
Listprice: $34.95
Review by Henry Berry

Every few years, a new approach is offered for unleashing the full
potential of organized efforts.  These are the quick fixes to
which the title of this book refers.  The jargon of the quick fix
is familiar to any businessperson: decentralization, human
resources, restructuring, mission statement, corporate strategy,
corporate culture, and so on.  These terms are all limited in
scope or objective, and some are even irrelevant or misconceived
with regard to the overall well-being and purpose of a
corporation.

With his extensive experience as a corporate consultant, author of
numerous articles, and professor in business studies, Kilmann
recognizes that each new idea for optimum performance and results
is germane to some area of a corporation.  However, he also
recognizes that each new idea inevitably falls short in bringing
positive change -- that is, a change that is spread throughout the
corporation and is lasting.  At best, when a corporation relies on
an alluring, and sometimes little more than fashionable, idea, it
is a wasteful distraction.  At worst, it can skew a corporate
organization and its operations, thereby allowing the
corporation's true problems or weaknesses to grow until they
become ruinous.  As the author puts it, "Essentially, it is not
the single approach of culture, strategy, or restructuring that is
inherently ineffective.  Rather, each is ineffective only if it is
applied by itself -- as a "quick fix"."

Kilmann tells corporate leaders how to break the cycle of
embracing a quick fix, discarding it after it proves ineffective,
and then turning to a newer and ostensibly better quick fix that
soon proves to be equally ineffective.  For a corporation to break
this self-defeating cycle, the author offers a five-track program.
The five tracks, or elements, of this program are corporate
culture, management skills, team-building, strategy-structure, and
reward system.  These elements are interrelated. The virtue of
Kilmann's multidimensional five-track program is that it addresses
a corporation in its entirety, not simply parts of it.

Kilmann's five tracks offer structural and operational aspects of
a corporation that executives and managers will find familiar in
their day-to-day leadership and strategic thinking.  Thus, the
author does not introduce any unfamiliar or radical perspectives
or ideas, but rather advises readers on how to get all parts of a
corporation involved in productive change by integrating the five
tracks into "a carefully designed sequence of action: one by one,
each track sets the stage for the next track."  Kilmann does more,
though, than bring all significant features of a modern
corporation together in a five-track program and demonstrate the
interrelation of its elements.  His singularly pertinent and
useful contribution is providing a sequence of steps to be
implemented with respect to each track so that a corporation
progresses toward its goals in an integrated way.

Beyond the Quick Fix is a manual for implementing and evaluating
the progress of a five-track program for corporate success.  The
book should be read by any corporate leader desiring to bring
change to his or her organization.

Ralph H. Kilmann has been connected with the University of
Pittsburgh for 30 years.  For a time, he was its George H. Love
Professor of Organization and Management at its Katz Graduate
School of Business.  Additionally, he is president of a firm
specializing in quantum transformations.

public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per

the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
