785 PARTNERS: First Manhattan Wants Mechanic's Lien Disallowed
--------------------------------------------------------------
First Manhattan Developments REIT filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York an adversary
proceeding against 785 Partners, LLC, seeking a ruling on breach
of fiduciary duty, equitable subordination, declaratory relief and
disallowance under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code.

First Manhattan, as successor in interest to PB Capital
Corporation and T.D. Bank, N.A., as successor to Commerce Bank,
alleges that the Debtor attempt to improve its position from a
prepetition, contestable unsecured claim to an avoidable secured
lien (with statutory priority ahead of unsecured and other
claimants) is a self-dealing attempt to use its petition and
schedules for its own benefit, to the detriment of the Debtor, its
estate and the creditors of the Debtor.

First Manhattan notes that on Oct. 20, 2010, Time Square
Construction Inc., an affiliate of the Debtor and an entity owned
by two insiders, namely, Kevin O'Sullivan and Donal O'Sullivan,
principals of the Debtor, 785 Partners, LLC, filed a purported
mechanic's lien for $14,229,106 against the Debtor's property,
more than eight months after the work was complete, less than 10
months before the Debtor filed its petition, and well within the
one-year preference period applicable to insiders.  In addition to
being a contractually and legally impermissible claim, instead of
disputing the Mechanic's Lien as an avoidable preferential
transfer, among other reasons, the Debtor, in its petition and
schedules, acknowledges, albeit improperly, the Mechanic's Lien as
a liquidated, non-contingent and non-disputed secured claim.

In a motion, First Manhattan, asks that the Court determine that
the $18,746,412 held in a deposit payment account unconditionally
pledged by the Debtor to First Manhattan as collateral and held in
escrow by Seiden & Schein P.C., as trustee, following defaults by
Fuerta Property Limited under its agreement with the Debtor for
the bulk purchase of residential condominium units located at 785
Eight Avenue, New York, constitutes property of the estate.

First Manhattan also asks the Court to declare that First
Manhattan has a first priority, duly perfected security interest
in the deposit payment account, and that First Manhattan may set
off and apply the deposit payment account against and in reduction
of the Debtor's outstanding indebtedness to First Manhattan.

Finally, First Manhattan asks the Court to disallow any claim by
the Debtor because the Debtor do not have a valid claim to the
funds in the deposit payment account, or any other claim against
the Debtor's estate.

The Court, in an order dated Nov. 28:

    -- denied, First Manhattan's motion requiring the Debtor to
commence adequate protection payments to First Manhattan pursuant
to Section 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; and

    -- ordered that the portion of the motion seeking to terminate
the Debtor's exclusive period to solicit acceptances of the Plan
is adjourned to Dec. 6.

                      About 785 Partners LLC

785 Partners LLC owns a 42-story building on 785 Eighth Avenue,
New York.  The developer intended to sell 122 condominium units,
but it failed to obtain the requisite condominium approvals from
the New York State Attorney General.

785 Partners is owned 98.75% by 8 Avenue and 48th Street
Development LLC.  The remaining membership interests are held by
Esplanade Tower Corporation -- its managing member, the holder of
a 1% membership interest, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of 8
Avenue -- and Esplanade 8th Avenue LLC -- holder of a passive
0.25% membership interest.

The Company obtained $84 million of secured financing in January
2007 from PB Capital Corporation, and TD Bank, N.A.  First
Manhattan later bought the secured claim and says the claim has
risen to $101 million, which is higher than the market value of
the property.

785 Partners filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
11-13702) on Aug. 3, 2011.  Sheldon I. Hirshon, Esq., Craig A.
Damast, Esq., and Lawrence S. Elbaum, Esq., at Proskauer Rose LLP,
in New York, represent the Debtor as counsel.  Weitzman Group Inc.
serves as real estate and financial consultant.

In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed $106,000,000 in assets and
$95,467,612 in liabilities, all secured.

785 Partners has filed a Chapter 11 plan.  Under the Plan, the
zDebtor will continue to exist as a separate entity, with 8 Avenue
as initial managing member.  The claims of First Manhattan are
impaired under the Plan.  Holders of allowed general unsecured
claims will be paid in full, in cash.  All OLD MEMBERSHIP
INTERESTS will be canceled and extinguished.  8 Avenue will
receive 63.75% of the new membership interests, Tower will receive
1.00%, and Esplanade will receive 0.25%.  A copy of the Disclosure
Statement is available for free at

3 G PROPERTIES: Submits Modification to Amended Liquidation Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
3 G Properties, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of North Carolina a modification to its Amended
and Restated Plan of Liquidation dated Nov. 3, 2011.

The modification includes:

   1. Paragraph 1.44 is deleted in its entirety and in its place
is substituted these:

      1.44 "Triangle North Park Participation Interest" will mean
      the percentage (35% to Capital Bank and 10% to The Goldston
      Family Limited Liability Limited Partnership No. 2 (with 5%
      of the percentage being deemed assigned, on a self-executing
      basis without the need for any additional documentation) to
      Southern Community Bank as provided in Paragraph 6.2) that
      Granville County will pay to such parties relating to the
      Triangle North Park Property after Granville County recoups
      its $14,150,000.00 investment (with such investment capped
      at such amount and subject to the provision of documents by
      Granville County confirming such investment) plus interest
      at the rate of 4.5% per annum (the "Granville County
      Investment") of the net sales proceeds (net of ordinary
      closing costs including but not limited to revenue stamps,
      pro-rated taxes, brokerage fees and attorney fees related to
      legal services necessary to convey title) for all property
      sold. If any of the Property is given away or sold for less
      than fair market value as an economic development incentive
      (collectively, the "County Economic Incentive"), then the
      gross sales price will be deemed to be the greater of the
      actual price realized from the sale or $40,000 per acre.
      Any such County Economic Incentive Amount will be credited
      as a reduction to the Granville County Investment until such
      time as the Granville County Investment is repaid in full.
      The rights to this participation interest will be
      appurtenant to and run with the Triangle North Park Property
      until any portion of the Triangle North Park Property is
      conveyed as an economic development incentive or sold and
      Granville County meets its obligations hereunder at which
      time the Triangle North participation Interest will be
      deemed satisfied in full with respect to the portion of the
      Triangle North Park Property so conveyed or sold.  The
      rights to this participation interest will not be assignable
      by any party without the written consent of Granville
      County.  Nothing herein will prevent Granville County from
      transferring the Triangle North Park Property to the Kerr-
      Tar Regional Economic Development Corporation or other not
      for profit entity provided, however, Granville County will
      remain responsible for meeting its obligations under this
      paragraph.

   2. Paragraph 6.2(e), relating to the Class 5 secured claim of
Southern Community (ASouthern Community- Residential Tract@), is
deleted in its entirety and in its place is substituted these:

     (e) The Southern Community- Residential Tract Aggregate
     Balance will be deemed paid and credited on the Effective
     Date (which payment and credit will inure to the benefit of
     the Debtor and any third party guarantors of any indebtedness
     of the Debtor to Southern Community Bank) in the amount of
     $1,200,000 relating to the abandonment of the Granville
     County Residential Tract;

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Commences Take-Over Bid for Fibrek Inc.
-----------------------------------------------------------
AbitibiBowater Inc., doing business as Resolute Forest Products
has formally commenced its offer to purchase all the issued and
outstanding common shares of Fibrek Inc.  The Offer, which
Resolute is making together with RFP Acquisition Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary, is more fully described in the offer circular
and other ancillary documentation the Company is filing today on
the Canadian Securities Administrators' Web site.

As disclosed on Nov. 28, 2011, holders of common shares of Fibrek
will have the opportunity to elect to receive, for each share:

    (i) Cash and Share Option: C$0.55 in cash and 0.0284

        described in the Offer Documents); or

maximum amount of cash consideration available under the Offer is
C$71,541,556 and the maximum number of shares of Resolute common
stock available to be issued under the Offer is 3,694,146.

As of Nov. 28, 2011, the date on which Resolute announced its

shareholders to elect immediate liquidity or choose to participate
in the future of Resolute, a financially strong company with a
diversified asset and product base.

others, a 66% minimum tender condition, waiver or termination of
all rights under any shareholder rights plan(s), receipt of all
regulatory, governmental and third-party approvals, consents and
waivers, Fibrek not having implemented or approved any issuance of
shares or other securities or any other transaction, acquisition,
disposition, capital expenditure or distribution to its
shareholders outside the ordinary course of business, and the
absence of occurrence or existence of any material adverse effect
or material adverse change.  Subject to applicable laws, Resolute
reserves the right to withdraw or extend the Offer and to not take
up and pay for any Fibrek common shares deposited under the Offer
unless each of the conditions of the Offer is satisfied or waived
(at its sole discretion). The Offer is not subject to any
financing condition.

Resolute is also filing today with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-4 to
register the Resolute shares that may be issued pursuant to the
Offer.  The registration statement has not yet become effective.
Resolute may not complete the Offer and issue the Resolute shares
until the registration statement is effective.

Resolute has requested Fibrek's shareholder lists in order to
distribute the Offer Documents to Fibrek's shareholders.  Once it
receives the lists, which, pursuant to applicable law, are due
within 10 days of the request, Resolute will mail the documents to
Fibrek shareholders and will furnish them to brokers, dealers,
banks, trust companies and similar persons whose names, or the
names of whose nominees, appear on the lists.

Resolute has retained BMO Capital Markets to act as dealer manager
for the Offer in Canada.  Resolute has also engaged Georgeson

ADOBE TRUCKING: Bank's Foreclosure Sale Commercially Reasonable
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Bankruptcy Judge Ronald B. King held that PNC Bank N.A.'s
foreclosure sale of Adobe Trucking, Inc.'s personal property was
commercially reasonable because PNC's credit bid of $41 million
was roughly equal to the value of the collateral on the
foreclosure date.  At worst, Judge King said, the bid was 67% of
the value of the Collateral.  Judge King also held that the sale
was commercially reasonable because the standards set forth in the
parties' credit agreement were not manifestly unreasonable and PNC
fully complied with its terms.

The case is ADOBE OILFIELD SERVICES, LTD. AND ADOBE IRON WORKS,
LTD., ET AL., v. PNC BANKN.A., M&I BUSINESS CREDIT, LLC,
LANDHOLDING, LLC, AND PAUL FRANK, Adv. Proc. No. 11-7005 (Bankr.
W.D. Tex.).  A copy of Judge King's Dec. 15, 2011 Opinion is

ARCTIC GLACIER: Second Lien Lenders Acquire First Lien Position
---------------------------------------------------------------
Arctic Glacier Income Fund's second lien secured lenders under the
Fund's senior credit facilities have acquired the position of the
first lien secured lenders under those credit facilities.

The Fund breached financial covenants governing maximum leverage
ratio, interest coverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and
minimum EBITDA levels under its credit facilities as at June 30,
2011.  The Fund's secured lenders, including both the first lien
secured lenders and the second lien secured lenders, issued
notices of default under the Fund's senior credit facilities in
September but have not accelerated the obligations owing
thereunder.  The Fund is continuing active discussions with its
second lien lenders regarding a solution to resolve the
outstanding defaults.

The second lien lenders have advised the Fund that they purchased
the first lien debt with a view to consolidating the positions of
the Fund's secured lenders and thereby streamlining discussions
with the Fund regarding a resolution of the outstanding defaults.
However, there can be no assurance that an agreement will be
reached.

The Fund continues its efforts to develop a process to resolve its
outstanding defaults under its credit facilities through a sale or
refinancing.

ATI ACQUISITION: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'CCC-'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on ATI Acquisition Co. to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'. The rating
outlook is negative.

"At the same time, we revised our recovery rating on the company's
senior secured credit facilities to '6', indicating our
expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default, from '3' (50% to 70% recovery
expectation). We lowered our issue-level rating on this debt
to 'CC' -- one notch lower than the 'CCC-' corporate credit rating
on the company -- from 'CCC'," S&P said.

"We also affirmed our issue-level rating on the company's
subordinated debt at 'CC'. The recovery rating on this debt
remains unchanged at '6'," S&P said.

"The downgrade reflects the effect of increased regulation and
revised business practices on the company's operating performance,
and its limited liquidity," noted Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Chris Valentine.

"Under our base case scenario, we expect the company's operating
performance to deteriorate in the 2011 fourth quarter and in 2012
because of enrollment declines, notwithstanding tuition increases
that could exacerbate the decline in enrollments. We expect
revenues to decline at a greater than 20% rate in full-year 2011
and EBITDA to fall at a 40% rate. In our opinion, it could be
difficult for the company to absorb the potential increase in its
borrowing rate that could accompany an amendment, unless it can
secure additional equity funding," S&P said.

"We assess ATI's business risk profile as 'vulnerable' (based on
our criteria) as a result of the impact of new federal
regulations, which have required changes in the company's business
practices. The company is also heavily dependent on federal
financial aid. ATI has a 'highly leveraged' financial risk profile
because of its high debt-to-EBITDA ratio, tightening financial
covenants, and thin liquidity," S&P said.

ATI is a for-profit postsecondary education company focused on
vocational programs, operating 23 career training centers and
schools. ATI indirectly derives just under 90% of its revenues
from federal-government-sponsored financial aid and grants
received by its students. The campuses are geographically
concentrated in Texas and Florida, representing a vulnerability
to their regional economies. Recently, due to a Texas Workforce
Commission investigation and findings, the Department of Education
moved its disbursement of cash from Title IV funds to ATI to 45 to
60 days, from two to three days, pending the outcome of an
investigation. This change has had a significant negative impact
on operating performance and cash flow. Enrollment declines
have also been negatively affected by ATI's decision to
discontinue operations in the growing online education field.
Declines in enrollment are particularly problematic for ATI, as
the company must continually regenerate its student enrollment
because its programs are relatively short in duration.

BATAA/KIERLAND LLC: Can Use JPMCC Cash Collateral Until Dec. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Randolph J. Haines of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona approved a stipulation authorizing
BATAA/KIERLAND, LLC, to use the cash collateral until Dec. 31,
2011.

Pursuant to the stipulation, secured creditor JPMCC 2007-CIBC 19
East Greenway, LLC, consented to the use of its claimed cash
collateral to fund only the necessary day-to-day operational
expenses and maintain the property, with a 10% variance per
category.

As adequate protection for the use of the secured creditor's cash
collateral, the secured creditor is granted, a replacement lien
upon all categories of property of the Debtor and its estate.

As further adequate protection, the Debtor will continue to
provide the secured creditor with weekly financial reports,
prepared on a cash basis, detailing income, accounts receivable
and accounts payable, in addition to month-end summaries for
actual expenditures versus budgeted expenditures which will be due
15 days after months end.

If there is any breach of the order or the budget, secured
creditor will have the right to seek an emergency hearing and
emergency relief before the Court.

protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 11-05850) on March 9, 2011.
The Debtor estimated its assets and debts at $10 million to
$50 million.  Polsinelli Shughart PC serves as the Debtor's
bankruptcy counsel.

The United States Trustee said that a committee under 11 U.S.C.

BIG DRIVE CATTLE: Farm Credit Lawsuit Goes to District Court
------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Judge Thomas L. Saladino recommended that reference of the
case, FARM CREDIT SERVICES OF AMERICA, PCA, and FARM CREDIT
SERVICES OF AMERICA, FLCA, v. BRAD HAUN; MICHELLE HAUN; CECIL
HAUN; CAROLE HAUN; JOSEPH PAGE; FRANCES K. PAGE; CAROL KNISLEY;
and SHIRLEY KNISLEY, Case Nos. A11-4225-TLS, 8:11CV320 (Bankr. D.
Neb.), be withdrawn to proceed in federal district court, and that
the defendants' motion to stay be denied.

The defendants are the owners and members of Big Drive Cattle,
LLC.  Big Drive Cattle borrowed money from the Farm Credit
entities and the defendants guaranteed that debt.  Farm Credit
seeks to collect on those guarantees.  Big Drive Cattle filed a
Chapter 11 bankruptcy case (Bankr. D. Neb. Case No. 11-42415) on
Sept. 9, 2011, which caused some of the defendants to remove the
lawsuit to the Bankruptcy Court.  Thereafter, the defendants filed
counterclaims against Farm Credit, alleging negligence, negligent
misrepresentation, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair
dealing.  Farm Credit has moved to dismiss those counterclaims for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1334(b).
The defendants have moved to stay progression of the adversary
proceeding while the Farm Credit loan is dealt with in the
bankruptcy case.

Judge Saladino said the counterclaims are simply matters of state
law that would have no effect whatsoever on the administration of
the bankruptcy case.  The case involves solely non-debtor parties.
The case is only tangentially connected to the bankruptcy case in
that the defendant guarantors, if found liable to Farm Credit,
would then have a claim against the Debtor in the bankruptcy case.

A copy of the Bankruptcy Court's Dec. 15, 2011 Report and
Recommendation is available at http://is.gd/UZILhwfrom

Big Drive Cattle LLC filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Neb.

based company is represented in the bankruptcy case by Patrick
Raymond Turner, Esq. -- patrick.turner@huschblackwell.com -- at
Husch Blackwell Sanders LLP.  It estimated $1 million to $10
million in both assets and debts.  The petition was signed by

BLACK RAVEN: Acquires Remaining 20% Interest in Adena Field
-----------------------------------------------------------
Black Raven Energy, Inc., on Dec. 8, 2011, purchased the remaining
20% working interest in 18,760 gross acres of oil and gas
properties in the Adena Field in Morgan County, Colorado, for a
purchase price of $1.7 million, subject to adjustments for
production after the July 1, 2011, effective date and other
matters.  The Company previously had purchased an 80% working
interest in the Adena Field in July 2011.

The Properties consist of an existing waterflood in the J Sand,
and a conventional oil field in the D Sand.  In addition, there is
a gas cap in the J Sand that may be produced in the future.  The
Company operates the Properties.  The Company has entered into an
agreement with a strategic partner that will provide geological,
engineering, and management services associated with this project
and will earn 30% of the Company's 100% working interest after
payout of all costs, including acquisition and financing costs.
In connection with its financing for the Properties, the Company
conveyed to its lenders overriding royalty interests equal to 3%
of 8/8ths in the Properties and agreed to convey overriding
royalty interests in certain additional oil and gas properties
acquired by the Company during the term of the agreement with its
lenders.

                         About Black Raven

Denver, Colo.-based Black Raven Energy, Inc., formerly known as
PRB Energy, Inc., currently operates as an independent energy
company engaged in the acquisition, exploitation, development and
production of natural gas and oil in the Rocky Mountain Region of
the United States.  On Feb. 2, 2009, in connection with its
emergence from bankruptcy, PRB Energy changed its corporate name
to Black Raven Energy, Inc.

On March 5, 2008, PRB Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries filed
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado.
On Jan. 16, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
PRB Energy reorganization plan.  The Plan became effective Feb. 2,
2009.

According to the Company, cash and cash equivalents on hand and
internally generated cash flows may not be sufficient to execute
its business plan.  Future bank financings, asset sales, or other
equity or debt financings will be required to fund the Company's
debt service, working capital requirements, planned drilling,
potential acquisitions and other capital expenditures.  These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

CATALYST PAPER: Defers $21MM Interest Payment on Senior Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Catalyst Paper Corporation, together with its financial advisor
Perella Weinberg Partners, is continuing to review alternatives to
address its capital structure.  Debt reduction has been identified
as a priority given current business and economic conditions and
discussions are ongoing with certain holders of its 2016 Notes and
2014 Notes, and their representatives and advisors.  Catalyst
announced, in June, that it had begun the capital restructuring
review.

In light of these ongoing discussions and pending finalization of
a strategy to deal with its debt structure, Catalyst determined
that it would be appropriate to defer the approximate US$21
million interest payment on its outstanding 11.00% Senior Secured
Notes due 2016 and Class B 11.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2016
due on Dec. 15, 2011.

Operations of Catalyst and its subsidiaries are expected to
continue as usual with obligations to customers, suppliers and
employees being met in the ordinary course.

"We advised several months ago that we were actively pursuing a
restructuring of our balance sheet.  This is a very complex
process and while we cannot prejudge outcomes, we are firmly
committed to achieving a solution that puts Catalyst on stronger
financial footing for the future," said President and CEO Kevin J.
Clarke.

The company has 30 days within which to pay the interest under the
2016 Note indentures before triggering an event of default.
Failure to pay the interest within this time period would allow
2016 Note holders to declare the US$390 million principal amount
and all accrued interest on the 2016 Notes immediately due and
payable and to begin proceedings to realize upon the security held
in connection with the 2016 Notes.

If the principal and accrued interest under the 2016 Notes were to
be declared due and payable, failure to pay the amount due under
the 2016 Notes within 30 days would be an event of default under
the indenture relating to Catalyst's US$250 million outstanding
7.375% Senior Notes due 2014.  Failure to pay the interest on the
2016 Notes within the 30 day grace period would also be an event
of default under Catalyst's ABL facility with JP Morgan.
At Nov. 30, 2011, the company owed the principal amount of $16
million under the ABL facility.  In each case, such event of
default could result in the principal amount of such indebtedness
and all accrued interest becoming immediately due and payable.

CATASYS INC: Chairman & CEO Peizer Owns 53.9% of Shares
-------------------------------------------------------
Catasys, Inc., on Dec. 8, 2011, completed a private placement of
notes and warrants with Socius Capital Group, LLC, an affiliate of
Terren Peizer, the Company's Chairman and CEO, and David E. Smith
a Company affiliate.  The current placement increases Socius's and
Smith's investment in the secured convertible promissory notes and
warrants to $1,250,000 since August 2011 and $1,035,000 since
October 2011, respectively.  In total, the Company has issued
$2,285,000 in secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to
Socius and Smith, since August 2011.  Socius's and Smith's
aggregate investments in the Company since November 2010 is
approximately $3.5 and $3.0 million, respectively.  After giving
effect to the latest investment, the Company's Chairman and CEO
beneficially owns 53.9% of the Company, including shares
underlying warrants, convertible notes, and options.  The Company
anticipates that the holders of the secured convertible promissory
notes will convert those notes into a Qualified Financing but
there can be no assurance that those holders will do so.

On Dec. 8, 2011, the Company issued a Third Amended and Restated
Secured Convertible Promissory Note to Smith and a Fourth Amended
and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note to Socius to
increase the outstanding principal amount under the Second Smith
Note and Third Socius Note by $45,000 and $155,000, respectively,
in exchange for a loan in such increased amount from Smith and
Socius, respectively.  The Company had previously issued a Third
Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated
Nov. 30, 2011, to Socius in the principal amount of $1,025,000,
and a Second Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory
Note dated Nov. 15, 2011, to Smith in the principal amount of
$880,000.  In connection with the Third Smith Note and Fourth
Socius Note, additional warrants were issued to Smith and Socius
to purchase an additional 173,077 and 596,154 shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, respectively,
at an exercise price of $0.32 per share, which amended and
restated the Second Amended and Restated Warrant dated Nov. 15,
2011, and Third Amended and Restated Warrant dated Nov. 30, 2011,
issued to Smith and Socius, respectively.  The exercise price of
or number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Third Smith
Warrant and the Fourth Socius Warrant are subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, certain fundamental
transactions, and financings and share issuances below the initial
exercise price.

The Third Smith Note and Fourth Socius Note mature on Jan. 3,
2012, and bear interest at an annual rate of 12% payable in cash
at maturity, prepayment or conversion.  The Third Smith Note and
the Fourth Socius Note and any accrued interest are convertible at
the holder's option into Common Stock or the next financing the
Company enters into in an amount of at least $2,000,000.  The
conversion price for the Third Smith Note and the Fourth Socius
Note is equal to the lower of (i) $0.26 per share of Common Stock,
and (ii) the lowest price per share of Common Stock into which any
security is convertible in any Qualified Financing.

Effective Dec. 8, 2011, the Company entered into a Third Amendment
to the Consent Agreement with Smith and Socius to amend the
Consent Agreement dated Oct. 5, 2011, as amended on Nov. 2, 2011,
and Nov. 15, 2011, to adjust Smith's and Socius's respective
sharing percentages in recoveries against collateral securing the
Third Smith Note and Fourth Socius Note in order to reflect the
increased principal amounts thereunder.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

As of Nov. 9, the Company had a balance of approximately $243,000

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

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.

$62.85 million in total assets, $33.89 million in total
liabilities, $13.46 million in common stock purchase warrants, and
$15.49 million total shareholders' equity.

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

                        Bankruptcy Warning

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

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

                        Regulatory Matters

On May 25, 2011, Central Federal Corporation and CFBank each
consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist (the
Holding Company Order and the CFBank Order, respectively, and
collectively, the Orders) by the Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS), the primary regulator of the Holding Company and CFBank at
the time the Orders were issued.

The Holding Company Order requires it, among other things, to: (i)
submit by June 30, 2011, a capital plan to regulators that
establishes a minimum tangible capital ratio commensurate with the
Holding Company's consolidated risk profile, reduces the risk from
current debt levels and addresses the Holding Company's cash flow
needs; (ii) not pay cash dividends, redeem stock or make any other
capital distributions without prior regulatory approval; (iii) not
pay interest or principal on any debt or increase any Holding
Company debt or guarantee the debt of any entity without prior
regulatory approval; (iv) obtain prior regulatory approval for
changes in directors and senior executive officers; and (v) not
enter into any new contractual arrangement related to compensation
or benefits with any director or senior executive officer without
prior notification to regulators.

The CFBank Order required CFBank to have by Sept. 30, 2011, and
maintain thereafter, 8% Tier 1 (Core) Capital to adjusted total
assets and 12% Total Capital to risk weighted assets.  CFBank will
not be considered well-capitalized as long as it is subject to
individual minimum capital requirements.

CFBank did not comply with the higher capital ratio requirements
by the Sept. 30, 2011 required date.


CENTURY PLAZA: Can Use PrivateBank Cash Collateral Until Dec. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. J. Philip Klingeberger U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Indiana Century Plaza LLC authorized, on an
interim basis, Century Plaza LLC, to use PrivateBank and Trust
Company's cash collateral until Dec. 31, 2011.

The Debtor would use the cash collateral to fund its business
operations postpetition.  The Debtor is authorized to make
expenditures plus more than 10% of the total proposed expenses,
unless otherwise agreed by the lender or upon further order of the
Court.

As adequate protection for any diminution in value of the lenders'
collateral, the Debtors will:

   -- grant the lender authorization to inspect, upon reasonable
notice, the Debtor's book and records;

   -- maintain and pay premiums for insurance to cover all of its
assets from fire, theft and water damage;

   -- maintain sufficient cash reserves for the payment of current
real estate taxes when the real estate taxes become due and
payable;

   -- upon reasonable request, make available to the lender
evidence of that which constitutes it collateral or proceeds, and

   -- maintain the property in good repair and properly manage the
property.

The Debtor set a Dec. 28, final hearing at 1:00 p.m. on the
requested access to the cash collateral.

CHRYSLER LLC: Tenn. Sup. Ct. Rules in Products Liability Suit
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of Tennessee, at Nashville, affirmed in part,
and reversed, in part, a trial court judgment in a products
liability suit involving Chrysler Group, and remanded the cause
for trial.

Michael Lind, who had purchased a truck from an automobile
dealership, filed a products liability suit in 2007 in the
Rutherford County Circuit Court against not only the manufacturer,
DaimlerChrysler Corporation, but also the dealership, Beaman
Dodge, Inc., d/b/a Beaman Dodge Chrysler Jeep, as seller.
According to the lawsuit, Mr. Lind was injured as he stepped out
of his 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 truck onto Fox Hollow Road in
Christiana, Tennessee, near its intersection with Manchester
Highway.  The Plaintiff alleged that when he stopped his truck on
a flat surface and placed it in park to get a closer look at what
appeared to be a snake in the roadway, the truck, with the engine
still engaged, "self-shifted" into reverse, running over his left
foot and arm, breaking his arm and wrist, tearing a rotator cuff,
and damaging muscles and ligaments in the arm.  The Plaintiff
alleged that his truck had "consistently experienced problems with
[its] parking system, and that he had taken the vehicle for
service on several occasions and the problem was not corrected."

Later, the plaintiff entered a voluntary nonsuit as to the seller
and proceeded only against the manufacturer.  Over one year after
the order granting nonsuit, the manufacturer declared bankruptcy,
and, in 2009, the plaintiff again sued the seller, alleging both
negligence and strict liability in tort.  The seller filed a
motion to dismiss, contending that the suit was barred by the
statute of limitations.  The trial court denied the motion but
granted an interlocutory appeal.  The Court of Appeals denied the
appeal.  The State Supreme Court granted the seller's application
for permission to appeal to consider the application of the saving
statute to these unique circumstances.  The State Supreme Court
holds that the plaintiff may proceed under the strict liability
claim because that cause of action did not accrue until the
manufacturer was judicially declared insolvent.  Because, however,
the second suit alleged acts of negligence on the part of the
seller, an exception to the statutory rule prohibiting products
liability suits against sellers, and could have been brought in
2007, the statute of limitations is a bar to recovery under that
theory.

The case is Michael Lind, v. Beaman Dodge, Inc., d/b/a Beaman
Dodge Chrysler Jeep et al., No. M2010-01680-SC-S09-CV (Tenn. Sup.
Ct.).  Justice Gary R. Wade delivered the opinion of the Court, in
which Justices Janice M. Holder and Sharon G. Lee joined.  Chief
Justice Cornelia A. Clark filed a separate opinion concurring in
the judgment, in which Justice William C. Koch, Jr., joined.  A

Chrysler Group LLC, formed in 2009 from a global strategic
alliance with Fiat Group, produces Chrysler, Jeep(R), Dodge, Ram
Truck, Mopar(R) and Global Electric Motorcars (GEM) brand vehicles
and products.  Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Chrysler
Group LLC's product lineup features some of the world's most
recognizable vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Jeep Wrangler
and Ram Truck.  Fiat will contribute world-class technology,
platforms and powertrains for small- and medium-sized cars,
allowing Chrysler Group to offer an expanded product line
including environmentally friendly vehicles.

Chrysler LLC and 24 affiliates on April 30, 2009, sought Chapter
11 protection from creditors (Bankr. S.D.N.Y (Mega-case), Lead
Case No. 09-50002).  Chrysler hired Jones Day, as lead counsel;
Togut Segal & Segal LLP, as conflicts counsel; Capstone Advisory
Group LLC, and Greenhill & Co. LLC, for financial advisory
services; and Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC, as its claims agent.
Chrysler has changed its corporate name to Old CarCo following its
sale to a Fiat-owned company.  As of December 31, 2008, Chrysler
had $39,336,000,000 in assets and $55,233,000,000 in debts.
Chrysler had $1.9 billion in cash at that time.

In connection with the bankruptcy filing, Chrysler reached an
agreement with Fiat SpA, the U.S. and Canadian governments and
other key constituents regarding a transaction under Section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code that would effect an alliance between
Chrysler and Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat.  Under the
terms approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the company formerly known
as Chrysler LLC on June 10, 2009, formally sold substantially all
of its assets, without certain debts and liabilities, to a new
company that will operate as Chrysler Group LLC.

Fiat has a 20% equity interest in Chrysler Group.

The U.S. and Canadian governments provided Chrysler with
$4.5 billion to finance its bankruptcy case.  Those loans are to
be repaid with the proceeds of the bankruptcy estate's
liquidation.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 6, 2011,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Chrysler Group LLC. The rating outlook is stable.

Chrysler's $4.3 billion senior bank facilities ('BB') and $3.2
billion second-lien notes ('B'). The recovery ratings are '1' and
'5'. The company recently completed this financing," S&P stated.

COLLIER LAND: Has Until Jan. 17 to File Outline and Ch. 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Judith K. Fitzgerald of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania directed Collier Land & Coal
Development LP to file a Disclosure Statement explaining the
proposed Chapter 11 Plan on Jan. 17, 2012.

The Court will then set a combined hearing date to consider
adequacy of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of plan.

In this relation the Court has continued the hearing to consider
Parkvale Bank's motion to convert's Chapter 11 case to Chapter 7
liquidation until the Disclosure Statement hearing.

The Court has also continued the hearing to approve the second
amended partnership purchase and sale agreement until the
Disclosure Statement hearing, but if the case is converted, then
an order will be entered marking the motion as moot.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 9, 2011,
prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor executed and delivered to
the Parkvale three promissory notes in the aggregate amount of
$2,970,000.  The Debtor defaulted under the terms of Notes by
failing to make payments when due.  As of Feb. 1, 2011, the
indebtedness is $1,758,924 plus professional fees, expenses and
accruing interest.

According to Parkvale, the Debtor's attempt to reorganize under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code has failed.  "The Debtor
operated a coal mining business that could not mine enough coal to
pay its ongoing operating expenses, let alone reorganize.  Since
late September 2010, the Debtor has tried to sell the coal mine.
The Debtor's principals, who have spearheaded this undertaking,
appear to be acting in their own interests in order to recoup
their investments or secure future employment, all to the
detriment of the Debtor's creditors," Parkvale said.

Parkvale said that conversion to Chapter 7 is clearly in the best
interest of the creditors as it will provide for prompt payment of
claims, instead of further delay that only benefits the Debtor's
limited partners fanciful plans to sell this failure of a coal
mine.

Parkvale is represented by Tucker Aresnberg, P.C.

CONQUEST PETROLEUM: CEO Says Loss of Assets Critical to Existence
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Conquest Petroleum Incorporated has been in default of certain
covenants in its agreement with the financier of the Marion
property since May 2009.  At that time, the Company entered into a
Workout Agreement with the entity whereby all interests in the
Marion Field were assigned to the entity; but, not recorded.  The
Company continues to operate and administer these properties to
this date.  The Company has entered into multiple agreements with
the entity for fixed purchase prices; and, has attempted to raise
funds to monetize the agreements.  A combination of the Company's
Balance Sheet and outstanding liabilities has precluded success in
those fund raising efforts.  The last extension of the Company's
option to purchase expired on Oct. 31, 2011.  The Company has been
unable to negotiate another extension and the entity is attempting
to market the properties to recover their investment.

Further, the remainder of the Company's assets, the Delhi and
Kentucky properties, are mortgaged to an overseas lender.  That
lender has requested that the Company market those properties on
their behalf to retire what is owed in principal, interest, and
penalties.  To date, the Company has been unable to find a broker
to handle the marketing due to the many problems relating to the
Delhi property.

Robert D. Johnson, the CEO and Chairman of the Company stated,
"This erosion of the Company's assets is critical to the continued
existence of the Company.  Current management consists of two
individuals who are working for no pay or at reduced salaries.
These individuals continue to attempt to raise the necessary funds
to retire the debt and handle the outstanding liabilities.  The
current situation to include frozen funds caused by a Writ of
Garnishment by PKF appears to be reaching a conclusion of the
Company's business activity.  Management will evaluate all options
available."

The Company reported a net loss of $14.49 million on $1.24 million

the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2011, showed $2 million in
total assets, $31.24 million in total liabilities, and a
$29.24 million total stockholders' deficit.

As reported by the TCR on April 21, 2011, M&K CPAS, PLLC, in

working capital and reoccurring losses from operations, all of
which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a

DAKOTA COUNTY: S&P Raises Rating on Revenue Bonds From 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating on Dakota
County Community Development Agency, Minn.'s (Southfork
Apartments) multifamily housing mortgage revenue refunding bonds
series 2000 to 'AA+' from 'B+'. The outlook is negative.

"The rating upgrade reflects our anticipation of full and timely
debt service payment on bonds until maturity based on sufficient
revenues from mortgage payments," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Renee J. Berson.

The rating reflects S&P's view of:

    The high credit quality of the Fannie Mae pass-thru
    certificate, which S&P considers to be 'AA+' eligible;

    Extremely strong debt service coverage;

    Investments held in First American Treasury Obligations Fund
    Class D money market fund (AAAm); and

    Asset/liability ratio is 100.69% as of Nov. 23, 2011.

The rating also reflects the sovereign rating on the U.S.
(AA+/Negative). Should the sovereign rating on the U.S. be
upgraded to 'AAA' and the bond program meet all criteria
commensurate with an 'AAA' rating, the rating on the
bonds will be upgraded.

"Standard & Poor's has analyzed updated financial information
assuming zero reinvestment earnings as set forth in the related
criteria articles. We believe the bonds are able to meet all costs
from transaction cash flow for the term of the bonds, assuming no
reinvestment earnings," S&P said.

DIVERSIFIED MACHINE: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating to $175MM Term Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' issue rating
(with a '4' recovery rating) to Diversified Machine Inc.'s (DMI)
$175 million senior secured term loan. The 'B' corporate credit
rating remains unchanged.

The 'B' corporate credit rating on DMI reflects Standard & Poor's
view of the company's "vulnerable" business risk profile and
"aggressive" financial risk profile (as defined in S&P's
criteria).

"The profiles reflect our opinion that the company's cash
generation could be volatile as vehicle production levels
fluctuate, given the uncertainty in the economy," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Nishit Madlani.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that DMI's leverage,
pro forma for the transaction, would be about 3.5x over the next
12 months, with minimal cash flow generation prospects for debt
reduction given somewhat elevated capital expenditure requirements
to support product launches," S&P said.

"We could raise the ratings if we believed that DMI could sustain
FOCF of about $10 million to $15 million to repay borrowings under
the bank revolving facility, and allow for sustainable liquidity
(cash and availability under its revolver) of about $40 million
with sustained leverage of about 3x or less," S&P said.

"We could lower the rating if free operating cash flow turned
negative for consecutive quarters, which would reduce liquidity.
For example, we estimate that if gross margins (excluding
depreciation and amortization) fall by more than 200 basis points
in 2012, while revenue growth and working capital performance are
less favorable than we expect, the company could begin to use
cash and need to borrow more under its asset-based lending
facility. We could also lower the ratings if the company's
leverage were to increase above 4x because of shareholder-driven
actions such as a debt-financed acquisition or a dividend to the
new sponsors," S&P said.

DELTA PETROLEUM: File Voluntary Petitions for Chapter 11
--------------------------------------------------------
Delta Petroleum Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries filed
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

"After reviewing all of our alternatives, the Company's management
and Board of Directors, working in consultation with outside legal
and financial advisors, unanimously determined that the Chapter 11
process would provide the opportunity for the best result for our
creditors, shareholders, suppliers, employees and customers.  We
are committed to diligently working for all of our stakeholders to
achieve the best possible outcome from this process," said Carl E.
Lakey, Chief Executive Officer and President of Delta.

The Company anticipates that its current and future cash resources
will be sufficient to pay its court expenses and maintain its
business operations in the short-term.  Additionally, the Company
will seek Court approval of a debtor in possession (DIP) financing
facility of $57.5 million arranged by it to address longer term
liquidity needs as it works through the bankruptcy process.

Ernst & Young LLP, in Boca Raton, Florida, expressed substantial

management has and intends to continue to evaluate various
possibilities, including raising additional capital through the
issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into
common stock, or secured or unsecured debt, selling one or more
lines of business, or all or a portion of the Company's assets,
entering into a business combination, reducing or eliminating

EMISPHERE TECHNOLOGIES: Novartis to Stop SMC021 Clinical Program
----------------------------------------------------------------
Emisphere Technologies, Inc., announced that Novartis Pharma AG
has informed the Company that it will not pursue further clinical
development of the investigational drug SMC021 (oral calcitonin)
being studied by Nordic Bioscience (the exclusive license partner
of Novartis) as a treatment option in two indications,
osteoarthritis (OA) and for post-menopausal osteoporosis (OP) and
that it will not seek regulatory submission for SMC021 in OA or OP
indications.

Novartis advised the Company that its decision to stop the
clinical program of SMC021 in both indications was based on
analysis and evaluation of data from three Phase III clinical
trials (two in OA and one in OP) that showed that while SMC021
displayed a favorable safety profile, it failed to meet key
efficacy endpoints in all three trials.

Emisphere will need to further analyze and evaluate the data from
the three studies in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in order to
understand the results and determine next steps.

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 COMMUNICATIONS: Hires Georgeson as Solicitation Agent
-----------------------------------------------------------
Emmis Communications Corporation has retained Georgeson Inc. to
act as Solicitation Agent and BNY Mellon Shareowner Services to
act as Information Agent and Depositary in connection with the
Company's offer to purchase, up to $6,000,000 in value of shares

$0.01 par value per share, at a price not greater than $15.56 nor
less than $14.00 per Preferred Share, to the seller in cash, less
any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

All deliveries in connection with the Offer, including a Letter of
Transmittal and certificates for Preferred Shares, must be made to
the Depositary and not to the Solicitation Agent.  Any documents
delivered to the Solicitation Agent will not be forwarded to the
Depositary and will not be deemed to be properly tendered.  The

Offer will be deemed to be made on the Company's behalf by the
Solicitation Agent or one or more registered brokers or dealers
licensed under the laws of the jurisdiction.

                     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 also reported a net loss attributable to common
shareholders of $13.14 million on $125.76 million of net revenues
for the six months ended Aug. 31, 2011, compared with a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $6.24 million on $126.91
million of net revenues for the same period a year ago.

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

                           *     *     *

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

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

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


ENERGY CONVERSION: Defers Interest Payment Amid Creditor Talks
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that Energy Conversion
Devices Inc. is deferring payment on some debt interest due
Thursday to give it more time to continue talks with creditors.

                      About Energy Conversion

Energy Conversion Devices, through its United Solar Ovonic (USO)
subsidiary, is engaged in building-integrated and rooftop
photovoltaics (PV).  The Company manufactures, sells and installs
thin-film solar laminates that convert sunlight to clean,
renewable energy using technology.

The balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $318.4 million in
assets and $56.6 million in current liabilities and $292.5 million
in long term liabilities.  The long-term debt includes the $235.8
million owing under the $316.3 million of Convertible Senior Notes
issued in 2008 and due June 15, 2013.

In its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011, Energy
Conversion disclosed, "The Company may consider various financing
or refinancing options for the Notes before June 15, 2013. If
these options are not successful, there is no assurance that
sufficient cash will be generated from operations to enable the
Company to repay this debt when it comes due.  In connection with
the foregoing, we have begun discussions with representatives of
an informal group of noteholders regarding our repositioning
efforts and to explore the group's interest in restructuring our
obligations under the Notes. Our discussions are at a preliminary
stage.  If we are unable to reach an accord with the noteholders
or execute sufficiently on one or more of the strategies that we
are considering to attract required investment, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially
adversely affected and we may choose to seek reorganization under
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."


EVERGREEN INTERNATIONAL: S&P Lowers Corp. Credit Rating to 'CCC'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on
Evergreen International Aviation Inc. and removed the ratings from
CreditWatch, where they had been placed with negative implications
on Nov. 30, 2011.

Standard & Poor's lowered the corporate credit rating to 'CCC'
from 'B-'. The outlook is now negative.

"The downgrade reflects Evergreen's very tight liquidity and our
belief that the company has limited capacity to deal with
continued earnings and cash flow pressures," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Lisa Jenkins. "Evergreen's operating
performance has declined, and we believe the company will continue
to experience earnings pressures over the near term given the
recent deterioration in the air cargo market."

Evergreen derives the majority of its revenues and operating
profits from Evergreen International Airlines, its airfreight
transportation subsidiary. The company also provides ground
logistics services, helicopter and small aircraft services, and
aviation sales and leasing. Evergreen faces significant business
risk in its largest business segment due to the cyclical and
competitive nature of the industry and the challenges of managing
the timing and pricing of expiring contracts. These factors have
led to volatile swings in earnings in the past.

Evergreen is especially vulnerable to the downturn in demand
because of its older fleet. "Demand for these aircraft will
decline over the next few years as other industry participants
upgrade their fleets and industry capacity increases," Ms. Jenkins
said.

Given its current financial situation and private ownership, which
limits capital raising options, Evergreen has limited ability to
upgrade its fleet. Offsetting some of the pressures in the airline
business is Evergreen's helicopter business, which has become a
more stable earnings contributor over the past year as a result of
changes in its mix of contracts. However, this business represents
a significantly smaller percentage of company revenues and
earnings.

FAIRFAX COUNTY: S&P Raises Rating on Revenue Bonds From 'BB+'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term rating on
Fairfax County Redevelopment & Housing Authority, Va.'s (Island
Walk Project) FHA-insured multifamily housing revenue bonds
series 2004 to 'AA+' from 'BB+'. The outlook is negative.

"The rating upgrade is based on our view of the project's reliance
on short-term market rate investments," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Renee J. Berson.

The rating reflects S&P's view of:

    The high credit quality of the FHA-insured mortgage loan
    collateral, which S&P considers to be 'AA+' eligible;

    Extremely strong debt service coverage;

    Investments held in Natixis Funding (A+/A-1), which is
    guaranteed by Caisse Des Depots (AAA/A-1+); and

    Asset/liability ratio is 103.00% as of Nov. 3, 2011.

"The project currently has guaranteed investment contracts with
Natixis Funding for its bond fund and debt service reserve fund.
Both of the guaranteed investment contracts expire on Dec. 30,
2016. We have received and analyzed updated financial information
assuming zero reinvestment earnings as set forth in the related
criteria articles. We believe the bonds are able to meet all costs
from transaction cash flows for the term of the bonds, assuming no
reinvestment earnings. All other funds are with providers whose
ratings are commensurate with the rating on the bonds," S&P said.


FILENE'S BASEMENT: Court Restricts Syms Stock or Options Trading
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has entered
an Order that imposes substantial restrictions on trading in
equity interests in Syms Corp.  The Order grants on a final basis
the restrictions previously imposed by an interim order dated Nov.
22, 2011 and effective as of Nov. 21, 2011.  Questions regarding
the Order may be directed to representatives of the debtors at the
telephone number (877) 606-7515.

                     About Filene's Basement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


FIBERTOWER CORP: Receives Nasdaq Listing Compliance Notice
----------------------------------------------------------
FiberTower Corporation received a notice from the Listing
Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying
FiberTower that it has failed to meet the minimum bid price
requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace
Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain a
minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.  The notice has no effect at
this time on the listing of FiberTower's common stock on the
Nasdaq Global Market, and FiberTower's common stock will continue
to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "FTWR."

In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), FiberTower has
180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price
Rule.  The Department will provide written notification to
FiberTower that it has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid
Price Rule if, at any time before June 11, 2012, the minimum bid
price of FiberTower's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or
more for at least 10 consecutive trading days.  If FiberTower does
not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by the
required deadline, FiberTower's common stock will be subject to
delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market.

FiberTower previously announced that it had elected not to make
the $1.3 million semi-annual interest payment due on Nov. 15,
2011, with respect to its 9.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes
Due 2012 (CUSIP Nos. 31567RAA8 and 31567RAC4).  The indenture
governing the 2012 Notes provides that the failure to make such
payment constitutes an event of default after a 30-day cure
period, which expired on Dec. 15, 2011.  As a result of
FiberTower's continuing nonpayment of this installment of interest
on the 2012 Notes, an event of default now exists under the
indenture governing the 2012 Notes.  The expiration of the cure
period for this installment of interest under the 2012 Notes also
constitutes an event of default on the Company's 9.00% Senior
Secured Notes Due 2016 (CUSIP Nos. 31567RAG5 and 31567RAF7) (the

FRONTLINE LTD: Raises $285 Million for Restructuring Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that Frontline Ltd.
said it has raised $285 million in proceeds from the private
placement of 100 million new ordinary shares to a group of
institutional investors as part of its restructuring plan to
create a new company, Frontline 2012.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 9, 2011,
Frontline Ltd. disclosed that its restructuring has been approved
by the Company's Board and will in the next few days be put
forward to its creditors and counterparties for approval.  The
proposed solution has been made possible through a massive
commitment from the Company's major shareholder; Hemen Holding
Ltd.  The major part of the restructuring consists of the
following elements:  A new company, Frontline 2012, will be
established and registered on the NOTC list in Oslo.  Frontline
2012 will acquire five VLCC newbuilding contracts, six modern
VLCCs, and four modern Suezmax tankers from Frontline at fair
market value.  The value of these vessels, including the value of
one time charter agreement, is based on independent appraisals,
set at $1,121 million.  In addition, Frontline 2012 will assume a
total of $666 million in bank debt attached to the newbuilding
contracts and vessels and a further $325.5 million in remaining
newbuilding commitments.  Further Frontline will be paid for
working capital related to the assets acquired.  The transaction
will be supported by a fairness opinion.  Frontline 2012's
ambition is to grow and become the consolidator in the tanker
market when timing is right.

                       About Frontline Ltd.

Frontline Ltd. is a Hamilton, Bermuda-based operator of very large
crude carriers.

Frontline said in November 2011 that it will need new funding in
the first half of 2012 to cover cash obligations.  There are also

discussions" with creditors with the aim of reaching agreement on
a "restructuring solution" by the end of this year.

The company reported a US$44.7 million net loss in the third
quarter, compared with a US$35.2 million net loss in the prior
period.  During the first three quarters, the net loss is
US$64.5 million.

GULFSTREAM INT'L: Rebrands as Silver Airways
--------------------------------------------
VPAA Co. dba/Gulfstream International Airlines disclosed its
adoption of a new name and brand: Silver Airways.  The name, along
with its crisp and distinctive logotype, exemplify the airline's
dynamic growth potential, as well as its unwavering commitment to
providing highly professional, safe and efficient operations.

VPAA Co. dba/Gulfstream International Airlines was founded in May
2011 when Victory Park Capital, a Chicago-based investment firm,
acquired select assets from the former Gulfstream International
Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy in November 2010.  Silver
Airways continues the evolution of the carrier under Victory Park.

"Starting in May, we hit the ground running with a mandate to
transform this airline from top to bottom," said Darrell
Richardson, CEO of Silver Airways. "Our goal: to create the dream
airline -- one that's financially sound, safe and professional,
but also fun to fly and a great place to work.  Adopting the
Silver Airways brand is the latest step."

The new Silver Airways logotype is derived from the spinning
propeller blades of a turboprop engine like those found on the
Saab 340Bplus and Beechcraft 1900D aircraft that comprise the
Silver Airways fleet.  The use of metallic silver and dark grey
evokes grace and professionalism, while the deep fuchsia speaks to
the brand's vibrancy and dynamic growth potential.

The new name and brand will officially become effective December
15, 2011 when Silver Airways welcomes the first of six recently
purchased Saab 340Bplus' to its fleet.  The aircraft, which will
be deployed along the carrier's Florida-Bahamas routes, will
feature the new Silver Airways logo and a completely re-designed
livery.

Douglas J. Glenn, the Company's Interim President and Chief
Executive Officer, said, "Building on our strong community banking
franchise in attractive markets, sound capital base and improving
fundamentals, our focus in 2012 and beyond will be on leveraging
our team of strong banking professionals to serve the needs of our
customers and drive profitable growth.  Donna and Tom, with their
depth and breadth of banking experience, proven track records of
leadership and deep roots in our region, exemplify the strength of
our team."

Richards has been with BHR and its predecessor organizations,
Gateway Bank and The Bank of Richmond, since 2005.  At Gateway,
she served as Senior Vice President and Senior Banking Executive
and, prior to that, as Charlottesville Market President.  Prior to
joining The Bank of Richmond in May 2005, Richards served as Chief
Operating Officer on the management team that opened
Charlottesville-based Sonabank in 2005.  Prior to Sonabank, she

surrounding areas.

                  About Hampton Roads Bankshares

Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: HMPR) --
http://www.hamptonroadsbanksharesinc.com/-- is a bank holding
company that was formed in 2001 and is headquartered in Norfolk,
Virginia.  The Company's primary subsidiaries are Bank of Hampton
Roads, which opened for business in 1987, and Shore Bank, which
opened in 1961.  Currently, Bank of Hampton Roads operates twenty-
eight banking offices in the Hampton Roads region of southeastern
Virginia and twenty-four offices in Virginia and North Carolina
doing business as Gateway Bank & Trust Co.  Shore Bank serves the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia through eight banking
offices and fifteen ATMs.

Effective June 17, 2010, the Company and its banking subsidiary,
Bank of Hampton Roads ("BOHR"), entered into a written agreement
with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Bureau of
Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation
Commission.  The Company's other banking subsidiary, Shore Bank,
is not a party to the Written Agreement.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, among other things, BOHR
agreed to develop and submit for approval plans to (a) strengthen
board oversight of management and BOHR's operations, (b)
strengthen credit risk management policies, (c) improve BOHR's
position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in
excess of $2.5 million which are now, or may in the future become,
past due more than 90 days, are on BOHR's problem loan list, or
adversely classified in any report of examination of BOHR, (d)
review and revise, as appropriate, current policy and maintain
sound processes for determining, documenting, and recording an
adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, (e) improve
management of BOHR's liquidity position and funds management
policies, (f) provide contingency planning that accounts for
adverse scenarios and identifies and quantifies available sources
of liquidity for each scenario, (g) reduce the Bank's reliance on
brokered deposits, and (h) improve BOHR's earnings and overall
condition.

The Company said in its Form 10-Q for the Sept. 30, 2010 quarter
that due to its financial results, the substantial uncertainty
throughout the U.S. banking industry, and the Written Agreement
the Company and BOHR have entered into, doubts existed regarding
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through the
second quarter of 2010.  However, management believes this concern
has been mitigated by the initial closing of the Private Placement
that occurred on Sept. 30, 2010.

The 2010 results did not include a going concern qualification
from Yount Hyde.

The Company reported a net loss of $210.35 million on
$122.20 million of total interest income for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $201.45 million on
$149.44 million of total interest income during the prior year.

The Company also reported a net loss of $76.82 million on
$77.91 million of total interest income for the nine months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $176.07 million on
$93.61 million of total interest income for the same period a year
ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed
$2.43 billion in total assets, $2.30 billion in total liabilities,
and $135.67 million in total shareholders' equity.


HARBINGER GROUP: Fitch Retains 'B' LT Issuer Default Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------
The ratings of Harbinger Group Inc. (HRG) and its subsidiaries;
Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company and Fidelity & Guaranty
Life Insurance Company of New York (collectively referred to as
F&G Life), and Spectrum Brands Inc. (Spectrum), remain unchanged
after the announcement that HRG's affiliate, Harbinger Capital
Partners LLC (Harbinger), received a 'Wells Notice' from the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  The Stable Rating
Outlook for the entities remains unchanged.

HRG's controlling shareholders are investment funds managed by
Harbinger.  While HRG and Harbinger are affiliated, Fitch
recognizes a degree of financial independence of HRG from
Harbinger by rating HRG and its subsidiaries largely on a stand
alone basis.

Fitch positively views that the Wells Notice was delivered to
Harbinger, but not to any of the entities rated by Fitch.
However, some concern is raised in that the Wells Notice was also
delivered to three individuals, some of whom are common to the
board of directors or management of Harbinger, HRG, or Spectrum.

The SEC's investigation into the matters raised has previously
been disclosed by Harbinger with the exception of one additional
allegation.  In Fitch's view the Wells Notice announcement
confirms that the SEC's investigation is progressing to a more
formal stage beyond information gathering.  The Wells Notice
indicates that the staff of the SEC is considering recommending
the SEC bring a civil action against parties named in the Notice.

If the SEC investigation results in the filing of a civil suit,
penalty, or leads to a Department of Justice case against the
named parties then Fitch will assess the potential impact it may
have, if any, on HRG and its subsidiaries.  If the financial or
non-financial impact on the rated entities is material then a
negative rating action may follow.  Until this has been determined
Fitch will continue to monitor the situation.

F&G Life and Spectrum Brands are subsidiaries of HRG, a publicly
traded holding company that seeks to acquire significant interests
in businesses across a diverse range of industries.

The following ratings remain unchanged:

Harbinger Group Inc.

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) 'B';
  -- $500 million 10.625% senior secured revolving credit
     agreement 'B', RR4.

Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Co.
Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Co. of New York

  -- IFS rating 'BBB'.

Spectrum Brands, Inc.:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) 'BB-':
  -- $300 million senior secured revolving credit agreement 'BB-';
  -- $525 million senior secured term loan 'BB-';
  -- $750 million 9.5% senior secured notes 'BB-';
  -- $245 million 12% senior subordinated toggle notes at 'B+'.

INOVA TECHNOLOGY: Delays Form 10-Q for Oct. 31 Quarter
------------------------------------------------------
Inova Technology, Inc., informed the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that it was not able to file its Form 10-Q for the
period ended Oct. 31, 2011, on the Dec. 15, 2011, due date.  The
Company expects that the 10-Q filing will be complete and filed on
or before the amended due date of Dec. 20, 2011.  The Company did
not state any reason for the delay.

                      About Inova Technology

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Inova Technology, Inc. (OTC BB: INVA)
-- http://www.inovatechnology.com/-- through its subsidiaries,
provides information technology (IT) consulting services in the
United States.  It also manufactures radio frequency
identification (RFID) equipment; and provides computer network
solutions.  The company was formerly known as Edgetech Services
Inc. and changed its name to Inova Technology, Inc., in 2007.

The Company's balance sheet at July 31, 2011, showed $7.78 million
in total assets, $18.05 million in total liabilities, and a
$10.27 million total stockholders' deficit.

The Company reported a net loss of $3.35 million on $22.12 million
of revenue for the year ended April 30, 2011, compared with a net
loss of $7.06 million on $21.03 million of revenue during the
prior year.

MaloneyBailey LLP, in Houston, Texas, noted that the Company
incurred losses from operations for fiscal 2011 and 2010 and has a
working capital deficit as of April 30, 2011.  According to the
independent auditors, these factors raise substantial doubt about
Inova's ability to continue as a going concern.


INTCOMEX INC: S&P Affirms 'B' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Miami-based Intcomex Inc., and revised the
outlook to stable from negative.

"The outlook revision reflects improved revenue and EBITDA
growth," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Martha Toll-Reed,
"and our expectation that Intcomex will maintain adequate covenant
headroom under its senior note fixed-charge coverage requirement."

"The ratings reflect our expectation that Intcomex's modest
earnings and cash flow from operations, as well as geographic
concentration in Latin American markets, will limit near-term
improvement in the company's 'aggressive' (as defined in our
criteria) financial profile. Intcomex's 'vulnerable' (as we
define it) business profile reflects its relatively narrow
geographic presence and second-tier position in the highly
competitive and global distribution market. However, the company
should continue to benefit from a diverse customer base, low PC
penetration rates in Latin America, and expansion into
distribution of mobile devices," S&P said.

The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Intcomex will
maintain near-term revenue and EBITDA growth, and adequate
liquidity. Potential earnings volatility and a leveraged financial
profile limit a possible upgrade. Volatile market conditions,
leading to a sustained reduction in operating earnings and
leverage in excess of 7x, could lead to lower ratings.

JEFFERSON COUNTY: Judge Puts Off Ruling on Chapter 9 Eligibility
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that the judge
overseeing the Jefferson County, Ala., bankruptcy held off ruling
Thursday on whether the financially ailing municipality can
continue its Chapter 9 case against the wishes of Wall Street
titans.

The bankruptcy judge held hearings Dec. 15 and 16 where banks,
bond insurers and taxpayers argued that the county isn't eligible
for a Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy.  The objectors say the
county isn't eligible because it has no outstanding funding or
refunding bonds.  The county only issued sewer warrants, which
don't qualify, in their opinion.

                    About Jefferson County

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

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

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

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

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

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


JEFFERIES GROUP: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Subordinated Debt Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Jefferies Group, Inc.'s long-term
issuer default rating (IDR) at 'BBB' and its short-term IDR at
'F2'.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The ratings affirmation incorporates the company's healthy
liquidity profile, its strong niche in its core markets and
relatively diversified business.  The firm also has stable
leverage that is in line with its peers.  As noted in its comment
'Fitch: Jefferies' Liquidity Profile Can Weather Challenging
Markets', dated Dec. 6, 2011.

The Stable Outlook reflects what Fitch believes are sound credit
fundamentals for its rating.  However, Fitch notes weaker industry
dynamics that will pressure Jefferies' and other securities firms'
earnings in the near to intermediate term.  The global economic
environment and the regulatory environment will contribute to
margin compression.

While these market conditions are not unique to the firm, Fitch
believes that trading revenues are likely to be weak or volatile
for the foreseeable future and investment banking activity will
also be affected as client firms face uncertain markets.

Jefferies has also been growing rapidly for several years, despite
the slowdown in 2008.  Fitch expects that this trajectory of
growth will slow down in the near term, though the firm remains
opportunistic.  In addition, the firm has taken several steps to
de-lever and will remain at lower leverage for now.  Over time,
these leverage levels will likely revert to its more historical
levels, but any higher levels will create downward rating
pressure.

As noted in its comment from Dec. 6, 2011, Fitch views Jefferies
as reliant on short-term secured funding with repo as a
significant source of its financing. Gross repo as a percentage of
total funding (including debt and equity) at Aug. 30, 2011 was
56%, while net repo was 33%.

Repo financing can expose a firm to the risk that a counterparty
will not roll the financing forward either because of the
liquidity of the underlying collateral or because of the
counterparty's unwillingness to transact with a firm based on its
credit worthiness.

The large component (87%) of Jefferies' repo collateral that is
eligible for funding through a central clearing party (exchange or
clearinghouse) is an important liquidity risk mitigant.  Short-
term borrowings of $353 million supported working capital related
at its commodities/futures commission merchant subsidiary,
Jefferies Bache Financial Services, Inc.  The firm also had $305.2
million of long-term debt maturing in March 2012 at Aug. 30, 2011,
of which $255 million remains outstanding as of Nov. 21, 2011.

Overall, liquidity management remains sound and the firm appears
to be continuing its normal operations despite volatility in its
stock price and widening of its bond yields over the last several
weeks.  Fitch notes the firm maintained solid liquidity through
the 2008 crisis and continues to navigate through current volatile
market conditions well.  The firm also offers its prime brokerage
customers the option to custody their accounts with a third party
firm, which reduces the balance sheet and liquidity requirements
related to these accounts.

As noted in its last rating action on Jefferies, Fitch notes the
firm's fluctuation in earnings given its reliance on sales and
trading and investment banking revenues that are market dependent.
The agency also highlights the risk that the firm's growth has
been rapid, exposing it to greater operational risks.  Similarly,
key man risk is higher at Jefferies than other firms, though the
company has executed on a number of fronts to broaden and deepen
its management team.

The firm's market position, risk profile, and growth are rating
constraints. Fitch's current ratings incorporate stable leverage,
but also a relatively diversified balance sheet.  Any significant
concentrations would likely lead to an adverse rating action. In
addition, material losses from trading or as a result of risk
management weaknesses would result in a possible ratings
downgrade.  Material deterioration in liquidity and market access
changing adversely would also likely result in negative rating
action.  Similarly, a material increase in leverage would also
likely result in adverse rating action.

In the short-term, there is limited upside to the firm's ratings.
However, longer-term factors that could contribute to positive
rating momentum over time would include, continued demonstrated
profitability, compensation cost containment, stable or declining
leverage, stable or enhanced coverage ratios, reduced risk
appetite and tempered growth, met with successful new business
integration and greater board independence.

Jefferies, a Delaware-incorporated holding company, is a well-
established full service investment bank and institutional
securities firm serving middle-market clients and investors.  Its
primary broker/dealer operating subsidiary, Jefferies & Company,
Inc. holds the vast majority of the firm's consolidated assets and
is regulated by the SEC.  At Aug. 31, 2011 Jefferies had US GAAP
total assets of $45.1 billion, shareholders' equity of $3.5
billion (including noncontrolling interests) and net income of
$236.2 million.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings for Jefferies Group,
Inc.:

  -- Long-term IDR at 'BBB';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F2';
  -- Senior unsecured debt at 'BBB';
  -- Short-term debt at 'F2';
  -- Subordinated debt at 'BB+'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.


L.A. DODGERS: Issues Statement on Telecast Rights and Fox
---------------------------------------------------------
The Los Angeles Dodgers stated that "as the media has been
reporting, the market for telecast rights is vibrant.  For
potential new owners, those rights not only assure a steady and
substantial revenue stream, but also enhance a team's brand appeal
and, ultimately, its competitiveness on the field.

Moreover, the formal opinion issued by Judge Gross expands on his
order approving the debtors' amended telecast marketing rights
motion enabling the Dodgers to move forward with the process to
unlock the full potential value of one of the debtors' primary
assets.  This process will also enhance the debtors' ability to
achieve a sales transaction of the Dodgers that will maximize the
value of the debtors' estate for the benefit of all parties."

The Dodgers further said that, in response to Fox's attempt to
seek from the District Court a stay pending appeal of Judge Gross'
order, it has filed a letter with that court in which it makes
clear that Fox's request for an immediate stay should be denied,
including that it is "... nothing more than an attempt to delay,
and by doing so, derail, the carefully crafted marketing
procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court."

                   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

LAM RESEARCH: S&P Puts 'BB+' Corporate on Watch Positive
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed all of its ratings on
Lam Research Corp., including the 'BB+' corporate credit rating,
on CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch placement follows the announcement that Lam
Research will acquire Novellus Systems Inc. (unrated) in a stock-
for-stock transaction valued at about $3.3 billion or 1.125 shares
of Lam Research for each share of Novellus.

"We expect the proposed acquisition to improve our view of Lam
Research's business risk profile," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst David Tsui, "as the company expands its leadership
positions beyond its previously narrow business focus in plasma
etch and single-wafer clean segments of the semiconductor wafer
equipment addressable market."  "Novellus is a leader in
deposition and surface preparation semiconductor equipment with
sales and EBITDA at approximately half Lam Research's size."

"Additionally, Lam Research anticipates significant cost synergies
as a result of the transaction. We are likely to view the combined
business profile as 'satisfactory', while we consider Lam
Research's current business 'fair' (as defined in our criteria),"
S&P said.

"Pro forma for the transaction, funded debt will increase due to
the existing $700 million of Novellus debt, thereby increasing pro
forma debt-to-EBITDA to 1.6x from about 1.0x at the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2011. We estimate that pro forma cash would be about
$3.1 billion at the end of calendar year 2011, a portion of which
the company will use to fund its $1.6 billion share repurchase
program, along with excess cash flow generated in the interim
period prior to an expected second-quarter 2012 closing date," S&P
said.

"We will monitor the progress of the transaction. As part of our
review, we will also reassess the company's business and financial
risk profiles, as well as its financial policies and future growth
strategies," S&P said.

"Based on a preliminary assessment of the combined company's
business profile and pro forma capital structure," added Mr. Tsui,
"an upgrade to investment grade is the most likely outcome, given
the current transaction parameters."


LEHMAN BROTHERS: Plan Order Provides Mixed Messages, Says Firm
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy that shook the financial world in
2008 still has investors who lost billions in the collapse
wondering when they will begin to recoup their losses.  Two
decisions lasts week -- one by a judge and the other by the Lehman
Estate -- did little to bring clarity to the situation or hope
that investors will see a significant portion of their money
anytime soon, say securities attorneys at Vernon Healy, the
investor advocacy law firm.

In one development, a New York bankruptcy judge cleared the way
for Neuberger Berman Group LLC to buy the 48% remaining equity
interest in that company from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. over
five years, generating about $1.5 billion.

In a second development, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said it
would take on billionaire Sam Zell's Equity Residential in a fight
for control of Archstone, the company's largest real estate asset.
After the Lehman collapse, the company owned 47 percent of
Archstone and banks held the remaining 53 percent.  But the banks
sold half their holdings to Zell earlier this month, and Zell is
seeking to buy their remaining 26.5 percent.  Lehman Holdings will
seek permission this week from a bankruptcy judge to exercise its
option to match Zell's offer with a $1.33 billion offer of its
own.

While the Neuberger Berman deal injects a significant amount of
cash into Lehman Holdings' coffers, it appears the money is coming
in over five years, meaning investors may see a trickle of cash
versus a lump sum.  Some estimates put the overall recovery for
most investors in the 18 to 20 cents on the dollar range.  If
these estimates are correct, then investors may suffer an 80
percent or more loss of principal from products that UBS
represented to be "principal protected."

"UBS simply deceived my clients and thousands of other investors -
- as well as many UBS financial advisors -- with respect to the
principal protection in these products.  This deception was
especially egregious given what UBS really knew about Lehman's
financial situation, including the Archstone purchase," said
securities attorney Chris Vernon of the Vernon Healy law firm.

And the current Lehman contest with Zell over control of
Archstone, while possibly viable for a healthy company is
questionable in light of the bankruptcy, Vernon said. "Lehman made
a bad business decision in acquiring Archstone.  Given the number
of retail clients of UBS and other firms caught up in this
bankruptcy as unsecured creditors, Lehman should be focused on
liquidating assets and distributing the proceeds to my clients and
other unsecured creditors rather than extending the time that
Lehman structured note investors have to wait to recoup what they
can from the bankruptcy," Vernon said.

Christopher Vernon represents investor clients with more than $10
million in losses due to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.  Vernon's
investigation into Lehman structured products has been featured in
AARP magazine.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS: Judge Issues Opinion on TV Rights Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross on Thursday issued his decision
granting the Los Angeles Dodgers LLC's proposed marketing
procedures for the licensing of telecast rights.  The Debtor's
motion has the support of the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.  The sole objector is FOX Sports Net West 2, LLC.

Judge Gross entered his Order on Dec. 13, 2011, indicating the
opinion would follow.  Judge Gross said he would prefer a
lengthier opinion, but the parties need and are entitled to a
prompt ruling.  "The Court must issue its ruling now to provide
the Debtors with meaningful relief to which the Court finds they
are entitled, and to enable FOX to proceed with the appeal it has
commenced," Judge Gross said.

According to Judge Gross, his ruling will enable the Debtors to
seek at present what they will be unable to obtain later, better
telecast terms -- first exclusively negotiated with FOX -- in
conjunction with the sale of the Team, thereby maximizing the
value of both.

Among other things, Judge Gross held that FOX's "Laundry List" of
issues is unpersuasive.  FOX raised a number of concerns, most of
them addressing issues relating to Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and
harms the Debtors will suffer from approving the Debtors' request.
Judge Gross found the McCourt-related "concerns" of FOX ironic.
Prior to the bankruptcy filing, when FOX had agreed to a revised
telecast rights agreement which the MLB commissioner did not
approve, FOX was prepared to advance in excess of $300 million to
Mr. McCourt without restriction and without any apparent concern
for the Debtors, the Dodgers, creditors and regardless of how Mr.
McCourt was going to use such a small fortune.  That was when it
benefited FOX, and MLB argued it mortgaged the future of the Team.
Now, when FOX faces changes to the TV Rights Amendment, FOX raises
arguments about what is in the Debtors' best interest.

According to Judge Gross, FOX is not a credible party to raise
such issues.  The Creditors' Committee, whose fiduciary duty it is
to explore what is in the Debtors' best interests, supports the
Motion, which is significant and lends support to the Debtors'
views.

Judge Gross also waived a stay of his ruling pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), saying a stay would only delay and
thereby prejudice the Debtors' marketing opportunity.  The Court
acknowledged that the Debtors are operating within a small time
frame.  The Debtors must complete the marketing and sale of their
telecast rights by April 30, 2012, by which date the Debtors must
also consummate the sale of the Team.

Judge Gross noted that the Court would normally grant a stay of a
few days as a courtesy to the District Court, removing any need of
the unsuccessful party -- here FOX -- to think it has to rush to
the District Court to seek a stay pending appeal.  However, FOX
does not face such an emergency, Judge Gross said, pointing out
that FOX has nearly 40 days to seek a ruling.  Negotiations
between the Debtors and FOX were ongoing before the hearing on the
Debtors' motion and are continuing with the assistance of a
mediator.  Judge Gross ruled that the Debtors will negotiate
exclusively with FOX until Jan. 19, 2012, and it is within FOX's
control during the Exclusive Negotiating Period whether it will
negotiate in good faith and take advantage of its opportunity.

MANISTIQUE PAPERS: Court OKs Sanabe as Investment Banker
--------------------------------------------------------
Manistique Papers, In. sought and obtained permission from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to employ
Sanabe & Associates, LLC, as its investment banker nunc pro tunc
to Oct. 24, 2011.  The Debtor desires to employ Sanabe &
Associates to advise it regarding a possible sale of its business.

Sanabe & Associates will:

  (a) work with the Debtor's management in developing a strategy
      with regard to the Sale Transaction;

  (b) work with the Debtor to articulate a business plan and
      business strategy to achieve profitability;

  (c) assist in the preparation of a descriptive memorandum
      regarding the Debtor's assets that would include details of
      the Business Plan;

  (d) prepare and present a list of potential purchasers to the
      Debtor for the Debtor's review;

  (e) contact potential purchasers, both strategic and financial,
      to solicit their interest in a Sale Transaction;

  (f) coordinate the creation and maintenance of a data room of
      information provided by the Debtor, the costs of which will
      be charged directly to the Debtor;

  (g) prepare, with the assistance of the Debtor, management
      presentations to selected purchasers;

  (h) advise the Debtor in its negotiations regarding the Sale
      Transaction, including, if necessary, evaluating
      indications of interest and offers received and negotiating
      a definitive agreement;

  (i) coordinate with the Debtor's legal counsel regarding
      matters related to the closing of a transaction, and other
      advise as may be requested by the Debtor; and

  (j) take all necessary steps and provide services appropriate
      to the Debtor's efforts to maximize the value of its assets
      and estate.

The Debtor paid Sanabe & Associates a retainer of $50,000 on the
execution of the Engagement Letter.

At closing of the Sale Transaction, Sanabe & Associates will earn
the greater of $375,000 or 3% of the Transaction Value plus an
additional 2% of the differential (if any) of the Transaction
Value over $15.5 Million.

The Debtor agrees to reimburse the firm for its reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses incurred in its work on the project, including
travel, printing and any costs of outside legal counsel.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, Sanabe & Associates is a
"disinterested person" within the meaning of Section 101(14) of
the Bankruptcy Code.

MEDICAL CARD: S&P Lowers Counterparty Credit Rating to 'B-'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its counterparty credit
rating on Medical Card System Inc. (MCS) to 'B-' from 'B'. "We
also lowered our counterparty credit and financial strength
ratings on MCS' operating companies -- MCS Advantage Inc., MCS
Life Insurance Co., and MCS Health Management Options Inc. -- to
'BB-' from 'BB'. At the same time, we placed the ratings on
CreditWatch with negative implications," S&P said.

"The downgrade and CreditWatch placement follows the company's
unexpected third-quarter 2011 operating losses and its recent
announcement that it was replacing several key executives,
including the chief executive officer, with an interim management
team affiliated with the Gorman Health Group," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Neal Freedman. "We believe that both of
these events increase the probability of a covenant breach in the
fourth quarter. The third-quarter losses were mainly the result of
increased claims activity in the company's Medicare Advantage
business. The company will likely only be able to partially
exclude the costs associated with the management realignment
from the covenant compliance calculation because of exclusion
limits in the calculation. However, the positive fourth-quarter
seasonality that is characteristic of the Puerto Rico health
insurance marketplace could offset the increased pressure on
earnings," S&P said.

"We will continue to monitor the company's operating performance,
especially covenant compliance. If the company breaches any of its
covenants as of year-end 2011, we could lower the ratings by one
notch. Conversely, if the company were to avoid a covenant breach,
we could remove the ratings from CreditWatch with negative
implications, contingent upon our view of 2012 operating
performance," S&P said.


MIRAMAR REAL ESTATE: Deal for Cash Access Until Jan. 31 Okayed
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Brian K. Tester of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District Of Puerto Rico approved a stipulation extending until

MMRGLOBAL INC: Signs Non-Exclusive License Agreement with SCM
-------------------------------------------------------------
MMRGlobal, Inc., on Dec. 9, 2011, entered into a Non-Exclusive
License Agreement with Surgery Center Management, LLC.

MMR is the owner of at least twenty relevant patent applications
and patents.  MMR is in the business of providing products and
services directed to Health Care Professionals and Patients, which
are contained in products and services embodied in the Licensed
Patents.  MMR has notified SCM of potential past or present patent
infringement under certain provisional U.S. and foreign patent
rights based on SCM's and its affiliates' businesses and
activities, and SCM has acknowledges such risk of past or
existing patent infringement.

Accordingly MMR and SCM entered into the Agreement to avoid any
potential dispute regarding possible past and continuing
infringement on the Licensed Patents and for SCM to acquire a non-
exclusive license to the Licensed Patents from MMR.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will grant to SCM,
on a non-exclusive basis a license covering the Licensed Patents,
which amongst other things, covers certain Licensed Products or
Licensed Services to develop, make, have made, use, sell, lease,
license, demonstrate, market and distribute the Licensed Products
or Licensed Services under SCM's brand or private label for
channel or distribution partners who purchase the SCM branded or
Licensed Products or Licensed Services for resale to end
customers.

The Licensed Patents will mean any issued or pending U.S. or
foreign patent applications or issued patents including but not
necessarily limited to Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel, South Korea,
Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and
the United States.  The Agreement includes settlement of any
potential claims by MMRGlobal against SCM and its affiliates for
any past patent infringement.

In consideration for the rights granted under the Agreement SCM
will pay the Company $30 million dollars with a minimum of $5
million dollars in upfront fees with the explicit understanding
and requirement that the Settlement and Release portions of the
Agreement become effective solely upon SCM's payment in full of
the Initial License Fee.  SCM also agrees to pay MMR additional
royalties of 10% of gross revenue at such time as an initial
US$200,000,000 of gross revenues are accrued on any Units sold,
used or otherwise transferred pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement.

The initial $5 million dollar payment will become payable to MMR
on Dec. 23, 2011, with five additional $5 million payments being
made on November 15th each year for the next five years unless the
Agreement is terminated by MMR for nonpayment of monies due to
MMR, or at the option of SCM if at least one US Notice of
Allowance from the list of twenty Licensed Patents is not received
by MMR.  The Agreement also contains provisions for termination by
MMR based on a material breach or default by SCM as well as other
customary cancellation provisions for this type of Agreement.

The Agreement will automatically terminate simultaneously with the
last to expire of the Licensed Patents in any country of the
Territories included in the Agreement or in the unlikely event
that all of the Licensed Patents are deemed to be invalid or
unenforceable after a final and complete ruling by a court of law.

MORGAN'S FOODS: Sells 29 Restaurants to DBMFI for $22 Million
-------------------------------------------------------------
Morgan's Foods, Inc., on Dec. 9, 2011, entered into a definitive
Remodel Agreement with KFC Corporation covering the schedule for
remodeling its KFC and KFC Branded "2n1" restaurants.  The
agreement outlines the schedule for remodeling certain restaurants
to meet the franchisor's image requirements through the Company's
2015 fiscal year and specifies a certain number of remodel
activities during each year thereafter through fiscal 2023.  The
Remodel Agreement also required the establishment of an escrow
account in the amount of $1,500,000 to be used only for the
required remodels and the account has been established through a
refinancing.

On Dec. 9, 2011, the Company also entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions with, and completed the
sale of 29 restaurant properties to, DBMFI LLC, an affiliate of
Fortress Credit Corp., in order to lease the properties back.  The
sale generated gross proceeds of approximately $22 million to the
Company, less normal expenses such as title work, environmental
and valuation reports, surveys, and legal fees.  In connection
with the sale the Company also entered into two Master Land and
Building Leases to lease the 29 properties back from DBMFI LLC
under a 20 year lease with 4 five year extension options.  Under
the leases the Company will pay annual rent of $2,140,000 with
increases of 1.5% for each of the first five years and 10% each
five years thereafter.

Simultaneously, on Dec. 9, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit
and Security Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. which provides
for a term loan in the amount of $8,250,000 having a term of five
years with payments based on a 10 year amortization and principal
payments beginning in the thirteenth month.  Interest on the term
loan is calculated at 7.25% over 30 day LIBOR with a minimum rate
of 9.0%.

The sale and leaseback arrangement and the term loan, funded the
advisory fee due to Brookwood Associates of approximately $442,500
and the payoff and termination of the Company's long term debt in
the amount approximately $9,886,000 of fixed rate, securitized
debt with BNY Mellon and approximately $15,837,000 of fixed and
variable rate debt from GE Capital Corp.  The Company's engagement
of Brookwood Associates as advisor for the financial restructuring
extended from Nov. 23, 2010, to the closing of the loan and
sale/leaseback transactions on Dec. 9, 2011.  Early payment of
these debt obligations caused the Company to incur approximately
$40,000 of prepayment fees and approximately $167,000 of
administrative fees.

As a direct result of the Company entering into the Remodel
Agreement dated Dec. 9, 2011, the May 19, 2011, Pre-negotiation
Agreement between the Company and KFC Corporation was terminated.
Also, the thirteen default notices which were rendered to the
Company on May 2, 2011, by KFC Corporation and which KFC refrained
from enforcing under the Pre-negotiation Agreement and extensions
thereof have also been terminated.

The Company had also entered into forbearance agreements with both
BNY Mellon and GE Capital Corp. allowing the Company to defer
principal payments until Dec. 30, 2011, while the refinance
program was negotiated.  The payoff of the debt to both entities
resulted in the termination of the forbearance agreements and no
further fees are due or payable under the forbearance agreements.

MSC SOFTWARE: S&P Withdraws Preliminary 'B+' Bank Loan Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its preliminary issue-
level and corporate credit ratings on MSC software Corp. "We
withdrew the preliminary corporate credit rating at the issuer's
request," S&P said.

"We withdrew the preliminary 'B+' bank loan rating and the
preliminary recovery rating of '3' on the proposed senior secured
first-lien credit facilities since the transaction did not close,"
S&P said.


NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES: To Sell $325,000 Debenture to YA Global
--------------------------------------------------------------
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., entered into an agreement to issue
and sell a secured convertible debenture to YA Global Investments,
L.P., in the principal amount of $325,000.  The closing of the
transaction was held on Dec. 8, 2011.  In addition to the
Debenture, the Company also issued a warrant to the Buyer to
purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, for an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

The Debenture will mature on July 29, 2012, and will accrue
interest at a rate equal to 14% per annum and that interest will
be paid on the Maturity Date in cash or, provided that certain
Equity Conditions are satisfied, in shares of Common Stock at the
applicable Conversion Price.  At any time, the Buyer will be
entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid
principal and accrued interest thereon into fully paid and non-
assessable shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the lesser
of $0.10 and 95% of the lowest volume weighted average price of
the Common Stock during the 60 trading days immediately preceding
each conversion date.

The Debenture is secured by certain pledges made with respect to
the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the
Fourteenth Ratification Agreement dated Dec. 8, 2011, and that
certain Security Agreement and Patent Security Agreement both
dated July 29, 2008, by and among the Company, each of the
Company's subsidiaries made a party thereto, and the Buyer.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company also entered into
those certain Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions with the
Buyer, an escrow agent and WorldWide Stock Transfer, LLC, the
Company's transfer agent.

The Company will not affect any conversion, and the Buyer will not
have the right to convert any portion of the Debenture to the
extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Buyer
would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
such conversion, except for not less than 65, days prior written
notice from the Buyer.

The Company will have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts
outstanding in the Debenture via Optional Redemption by paying the
amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a
redemption premium equal to 10% of the principal amount being
redeemed, and accrued interest.

NEXTAG INC: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Corporate Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
NexTag Inc. to negative from stable. "We affirmed all existing
ratings, including the 'BB-' corporate credit rating," S&P said.

"The outlook revision is based on our expectation that operating
results will likely be soft over the intermediate term as the
company takes steps to improve traffic quality and address its
cost structure," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Andy Liu.

"Moves by Google, especially its rollout of Google Product Search
and Google Shopping, have hurt the quality of Internet traffic to
NexTag. Even though Internet traffic from Google increased, those
visitors are clicking fewer links on NexTag, resulting in lower
average revenues per visit than prior periods. Additionally,
increased staffing in NexTag's technology and corporate functions
has pressured EBITDA. We expect that NexTag will increase its
search engine marking spending and attempt to improve its direct
navigation traffic (people visiting its sites without going
through a search engine like Google) to its sites. We believe that
a review of its cost structure is likely," S&P said.

"The 'BB-' corporate credit rating reflects our expectation that
debt leverage will likely remain relatively low over the
intermediate term, despite the EBITDA decline, and that the
company will continue to generate good discretionary cash flow.
NexTag's business risk profile is 'weak,' based on our criteria,
on account of its wide set of competitors and low barriers to
entry. We view its financial risk as 'significant,' given what we
regard as likely future acquisitions and dividend activity. A
solid EBITDA margin and good cash flow only partly offset these
risks," S&P said.

NexTag owns and operates comparison shopping Web sites. The
company's Web sites connect over 40 million monthly unique
visitors and over 25,000 merchants. NexTag has operations in 14
countries, including the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, Spain, and the U.K. A significant majority of
NexTag's revenues are from the U.S., with the remainder from
international markets. As an online lead generator for
merchants, its performance can be sensitive to consumer
discretionary spending. When consumer discretionary spending is
under pressure, shoppers are less likely to click through to
merchant websites on NexTag. Similarly, when consumer
discretionary spending rebounds, the click-through rate is likely
to increase.


NCO GROUP: S&P Has 'CCC+' Issuer Credit Rating; Outlook Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'CCC+' issuer
credit rating on NCO Group Inc. and removed the rating from
CreditWatch with positive implications. The outlook is negative.
"We also withdrew our preliminary 'B' issuer credit rating on
Expert Global Solutions LLC, our preliminary 'B' rating on NCO's
proposed $120 million revolving credit facility and $750 million
senior secured bank loan, and our preliminary 'CCC+' rating on
NCO's proposed $300 million senior notes," S&P said.

"The rating action follows NCO's recent announcement that it is
not proceeding with the previously proposed $300 million notes
offering that it planned to use, in conjunction with a proposed
$870 million new senior secured credit facility, to repay its
existing debt and to help finance its merger with APAC Customer
Services Inc.," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Kevin Cole.
Concurrent with the closing of the debt offerings, it was planning
to change its name to Expert Global Solutions Inc.

"One Equity Partners (OEP) owns both APAC and NCO. NCO, APAC, and
OEP are continuing to seek alternatives that would enable them to
complete the merger. We expect NCO will continue to look to
refinance its existing senior secured facility and may launch
another senior notes offering when market conditions are more
favorable. However, we do not have much clarity at this point
about how the eventual combined entity will be financed, leading
us to withdraw all preliminary ratings," S&P said.

"NCO's recent financial performance has been weak. Losses totaled
$104.5 million for the first nine months of 2011. Even though NCO
no longer has material purchased receivables on its balance sheet,
which had led to large impairments in the past, we do not expect
the company to return to profitability in the near term," S&P
said.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, NCO's debt-to-adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA
interest coverage ratios were weak at 5.8x and 1.7x. In addition
to high debt levels, NCO has major debt maturities on the horizon.
The company's $67.5 million ($30 million outstanding as of Sept.
30, 2011) revolving credit facility, $460 million bank loan, and
$165 million senior floating rate notes all require refinancing or
repayment in the next 24 months. As of Sept. 30, 2011, NCO had $20
million of cash on its balance sheet.

"The negative outlook reflects the company's weak financial
performance, high debt, and significant debt maturities in the
next two years," said Mr. Cole. "If volatile markets or NCO's
worsening financial performance leads us to believe that repayment
of the company's debt is unlikely, we could lower the rating. We
could raise the rating if NCO refinances its debt in a way that
materially improves its debt metrics and maturity schedule."


NCO GROUP: Terminates $300 Million Notes Tender Offer
-----------------------------------------------------
NCO Group, Inc., said it is not moving ahead with its previously
announced $300 million senior notes offering due to the rates
currently available in the market.  The Company, APAC Customer
Services and One Equity Partners continue to believe it is in the
best interests of the Company and APAC to seek to combine their
businesses and to that end they are continuing to look at
alternatives that would enable the combination to be completed on
terms that are advantageous to their respective stakeholders.

As a result, the Company, also announced that it has terminated
its two concurrent cash tender offers for any and all of its
$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11.875% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 65338LAA7) and $165,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2013
(CUSIP No. 65338LAB5) and the related solicitation of consents
from the holders of each series of Notes to amend each indenture
under which the Notes were issued to eliminate most of the
restrictive covenants and amend certain related provisions.  All
Notes tendered in the Offers will be returned promptly to the
respective holders thereof without any action required on the part
of the holders.  No consideration will be paid in the Offers for
any of the tendered Notes.

The Offers were made upon the terms and conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated
Nov. 30, 2011, including, among other things, (i) the entry into
by the Company of a new senior secured credit facility on or prior
to the date on which the Company would have accepted for payment
Notes properly tendered and (ii) the consummation of an offering
of new senior notes totaling gross proceeds of at least $300
million on or prior to the date on which the Company would have
accepted for payment Notes properly tendered.

The Company engaged Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Barclays
Capital Inc. as Dealer Managers and Solicitation Agents for the
Offers. Persons with questions regarding the termination of the
Offers should contact Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. at (212) 250-

                           *     *     *

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


NEXTWAVE WIRELESS: Amends Extending Notes Maturity Dates
--------------------------------------------------------
NextWave Wireless Inc. has entered into an Amendment and Limited
Waiver to its first, second and third lien note agreements.  The
Amendment extends the maturity of the first lien notes to Dec. 31,
2012, the maturity of the second lien notes to Jan. 31, 2013 and
the maturity of the third lien notes to Feb. 28, 2013.

The Amendment permanently waives past events of default under the
agreements governing the Company's secured notes, which defaults
were previously the subject of the Forbearance Agreement dated as
of Aug. 1, 2011, as described in detail in the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Aug. 2, 2011.

The Company will continue its efforts to sell its wireless
spectrum assets to repay its secured notes and may seek additional
financing or a refinancing transaction depending on future market
conditions and the timing of any such spectrum sales, which remain
subject to many factors beyond the Company's control.  As
disclosed in the Company's filings with the SEC, the Company's
capital structure requires that it successfully monetize most of
its wireless spectrum assets for net proceeds substantially in
excess of its cost basis in order to retire its secured debt,
which will total $1,021 million in aggregate principal amount on
Dec. 31, 2011, and will increase over time due to the accrual of
payment-in-kind interest.

                       About NextWave Wireless

San Diego, Calif.-based NextWave Wireless Inc. (OTC QB: WAVE)
-- http://www.nextwave.com/-- is a wireless technology company
that manages and maintains worldwide wireless spectrum licenses.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company's current cash reserves are not sufficient to meet its
payment obligations under its secured notes at their current
maturity dates.  Additionally, the Company will not be able to
consummate sales of its wireless spectrum assets yielding
sufficient proceeds to retire this indebtedness at the current
scheduled maturity dates.  If the Company is unable to extend
maturity beyond 2011, or identify and successfully implement
alternative financing to repay the Senior Notes and Second Lien
Notes, the holders of the Company's secured notes could proceed
against the assets pledged to collateralize these obligations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  Insufficient capital to
repay the Company's debt at maturity would significantly restrict
its ability to operate and could cause the Company to seek relief
through a filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court.  Any
alternative financing or maturity extension of the Company's
secured notes may be costly to obtain, and could involve the
issuance of equity securities that could cause significant
dilution to the Company's existing stockholders and potentially
limit the Company's net operating loss carry forwards.

                        Going Concern Doubt

As reported in the TCR on March 23, 2011, Ernst & Young LLP, in
San Diego, Calif., expressed substantial doubt about NextWave
Wireless's ability to continue as a going concern, following the
Company's 2010 results.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has a working
capital deficiency, primarily comprised of the current portion of
long term obligations of $784.6 million at Jan. 1, 2011, that is
associated with the maturity of its debt.  "The Company currently
does not have the ability to repay this debt at maturity."


NORTHERN BERKSHIRE: Expands Carl Marks Scope of Employment
----------------------------------------------------------
Northern Berkshire Healthcare, Inc., sought and obtained
permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
Massachusetts to expand the scope of employment of Carl Marks
Advisory Group LLC.  The firm's employment is continued Dec. 16,
2011 for 10:00 a.m.

Upon retention, the firm's scope will include:

   (a) assisting the Debtors' management in a comprehensive update
       and refinement of the Debtors' financial model and
       financial projections and interfacing with the Debtors'
       secured bondholders, the Official Committee of Unsecured
       Creditors, and their respective financial advisors
       regarding the same; and

   (b) taking a lead role in negotiations with the bondholders
       regarding acceptable terms for a consensual plan of
       reorganization.

The Court previous entered an order approving the Debtors' request
to hire Carl Marks Advisory Group as financial advisor in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Financial Advisory Agreement.

NORTHWEST GEORGIA: S&P Raises Rating on Revenue Bonds From 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term rating on
Northwest Georgia Consolidated Housing Authority's (Callier Forest
Apartments Project) multifamily housing revenue bonds series 2004
to 'AA+' from 'BB+'. The bonds are secured by a Fannie Mae
mortgage-backed security. The outlook is negative.

"The rating upgrade is based on our view of the project's reliance
on short-term market rate investments," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Renee J. Berson.

The rating reflects S&P's view of:

    Revenues from mortgage debt service payments and investment
    earnings are sufficient to pay full and timely debt service on
    the bonds plus fees until the remarketing date;

    Extremely strong debt service coverage;

    Asset/liability parity is 101.73% as of Nov. 30, 2011, and is
    adequate until the remarketing date;

    Investments held in Goldman Sachs money market fund (AAAm);
    and

    "The high credit quality of the Fannie Mae pass-thru
    certificate, which we consider to be 'AA+' eligible," S&P
    said.

"Standard & Poor's has analyzed updated cash flows assuming a zero
reinvestment assumption for all scenarios as set forth in the
related criteria articles for federal government-enhanced housing
transactions. We believe the bonds are able to meet all bond costs
from transaction revenues until the remarketing date on Nov. 1,
2024, assuming no reinvestment earnings," S&P said.


NORTHWOOD COMMUNITY: S&P Raises Series 2008 Bonds SPUR From 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its underlying rating
(SPUR) on Northwood Community Development District, Fla.'s series
2008 bonds to 'A' from 'BB' due to the recent assumption of the
bonds' debt service reserve surety policy by Assured Guaranty
Corp. (AA-/Stable), effective Sept. 21, 2011.

In March 2011, Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on the bonds
to BB/Stable, due to its view that the bonds had inadequate
funding of their debt service reserve fund (DSR), given that the
surety bond provider, CIFG Assurance North America N.A., is not
rated by Standard & Poor's. Special assessments are levied to
match debt service payments with very limited excess cash flow,
therefore, the DSR is an important security feature that provides
additional liquidity if assessments are not received in full or on
a timely basis. Thus, Standard & Poor's views the assumption of
the bonds' DSR surety bond policy by Assured Guaranty Corp., an
investment-grade Standard & Poor's rated entity, as a positive
rating factor.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that special-
assessment collections will continue to be sufficient to pay debt
service on the series 2008 bonds," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Andrew Teras. "We believe the bonds' narrow revenue stream
and the district's lack of revenue-raising flexibility hinder the
potential for an upgrade. Should payment delinquencies increase or
demand for tax certificate sales diminish, we may lower the
rating," he added.

A first lien pledge upon non-ad valorem special debt assessments
levied on benefited properties within the district secures the
bonds.

Northwood Community Development District encompasses 390 acres
within the Northwood Development of Regional Impact, located in
Pasco County. The district consists of 638 single-family homes and
a recreation facility.


ORAGENICS INC: Can Borrow up to $7.5 Million from Koski Family
--------------------------------------------------------------
Oragenics, Inc., announced on Dec. 9, 2011, that the Company has
entered into a Fourth Amendment to its Unsecured Revolving Line of
Credit with the Koski Family Limited Partnership, the Company's
largest shareholder.  The Fourth Amendment increased the available
borrowing under the Credit Facility by $500,000, from $7,000,000
to $7,500,000.  Oragenics has since drawn down on the additional
availability.

"We are very pleased that the KFLP has provided the additional
funding to enable Oragenics to continue executing on near-term
business and operational objectives; including the continuing
development of the revenue stream from ProBiora3 the Evora product
lines.  We appreciate KFLP's support and enthusiasm for Oragenics
and expect our continued efforts to support our mission statement
of becoming a world leader in oral care probiotics for humans and
companion pets," stated John N. Bonfiglio, Ph.D., chief executive
officer and president of Oragenics.

PINEY-Z COMMUNITY: S&P Raises SPUR on Series 2008 Bonds From 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its underlying rating
(SPUR) on Piney-Z Community Development District, Fla.'s series
2008 bonds to 'BBB+' from 'BB' due to the recent assumption of the
bonds' debt service reserve surety policy, effective Sept.
21, 2011, by Assured Guaranty Corp. (AA-/Stable).

PMI GROUP: Court OKs Kurtzman Carson Consultants as Claims Agent
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware authorized
PMI Group, Inc., to employ Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as its
notice, claims, and solicitation agent.  The Debtor asserts that
although the office of the Clerk ordinarily would serve notices on
the Debtor's creditors and other parties-in-interest and
administer claims against the Debtor, the Clerk's Office may not
have the resources to undertake those tasks, especially in light
of the tight timeliness that frequently arise in the Chapter 11
cases.

Upon retention, KCC will, among other things:

   (a) prepare and serve required notices in the Chapter 11 case;

   (b) within seven days after mailing a particular notice, file
       with the Court a copy of the notice served with a
       certificate of service attached indicating the name and
       complete address of each party served;

   (c) receive, examine, and maintain copies of all proofs of
       claim and proofs of interest filed in the Chapter 11 case;

   (d) maintain an official claims register by docketing all
       proofs of claim and proofs of interest in a claims
       database; and

   (e) record all transfers of clams pursuant to Rule 3001(e) of
       the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

The Debtor intends to pay KCC its fees and expenses pursuant to
the terms and conditions set forth in the Services Agreement.  The
Debtor maintains that the fees and expenses incurred by KCC are
administrative in nature and, therefore, should not be subject to
the standard fee application procedures for professionals.

As part of the overall compensation, the Debtor has agreed to
certain indemnification and contribution obligations.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor paid KCC a retainer of
$25,000 as security for pre- and post-petition services rendered
to the Debtor in the preparation of the Debtor's case.

Albert Kass, vice president of Corporate Restructuring Services of
KCC, assures the Court that his firm is a "disinterested person"
as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

POLAROID CORP: BAP Affirms Ch. 7 Trustee's Right to Use Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit
affirmed a July 12, 2011 bankruptcy court order authorizing John
R. Stoebner, the Chapter 7 Trustee for Polaroid Corporation and
its affiliated debtors, to use cash collateral.  TLP Services LLC
took an appeal from the order.

On June 23, 2011, Mr. Stoebner filed a verified motion for
authorization to use $3,153,500 of cash collateral to fund his
efforts to recover roughly $4,600,000 from various sources and an
unspecified sum from the more than 80 adversary proceedings Mr.
Stoebner had commenced.  As adequate protection of the interests
of the various secured creditors who claimed an interest in that
cash collateral, Mr. Stoebner proposed to grant those secured
creditors replacement liens against all Debtors' post-petition
assets, to maintain segregated accounts and books of account for
all items of cash collateral, to maintain insurance on all
tangible property of the bankruptcy estates, and, upon request, to
provide copies of his record of receipts and disbursements.

TLP objected to Mr. Stoebner's motion.  TLP claimed to be the
holder of a secured claim in the Polaroid Corporation case and
argued Mr. Stoebner's motion "provide[d] insufficient evidence
that the proposed replacement lien constitute[d] adequate
protection of the value of TLP's interest in cash collateral."

The bankruptcy court ruled from the bench and memorialized its
decision in an order overruling TLP's objection and allowing Mr.
Stoebner to use cash collateral.  In reaching its decision, the
bankruptcy court found the replacement lien offered by Mr.
Stoebner adequately protected TLP's interest in the cash
collateral.

The panel consists of Bankruptcy Judges Arthur B. Federman, Jerry
W. Venters, and Charles L. Nail, Jr.  A copy of the BAP's Dec. 15,
2011 decision is available at http://is.gd/IQnutSfrom Leagle.com.
Judge Nail penned the opinion.

The appellate case is TLP Services, LLC, Objector-Appellant, v.
John R. Stoebner, Chapter 7 Trustee, Movant-Appellee, No. 11-6058
(8th Cir. BAP).

PRA INTERNATIONAL: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B+'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on Raleigh, N.C.-based PRA International to 'B+' from 'B'.
The outlook is stable.

"We also raised our issue-level ratings on the company's debt to
reflect the upgrade and our expectations of stronger recovery on
the first-out and last-out term loans following modest debt
repayments in 2011. We revised the recovery rating on the
company's last-out term loan to '5', indicating our expectation of
modest (10% to 30%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default from '6' (0% to 10% recovery expectation). The issue-level
rating on this debt was raised to 'B' from 'CCC+'. The recovery
ratings on the company's other rated debt remain unchanged, and
the issue-level ratings were raised by one notch in conjunction
with the raising of the corporate credit rating," S&P said.

"The upgrade reflects our belief that recent improvements in PRA's
financial risk profile (including leverage below 4.5x and funds
from operation to debt of around 13%) will be sustained, if not
improve modestly, over the next year," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Shannan Murphy. "In addition, the stable outlook on
the speculative-grade rating reflects our expectation that PRA
will continue to generate positive free cash flow and that
covenant cushions will remain reasonable over the near term."

"We expect revenue and EBITDA growth to continue next year, but to
moderate to mid- to high-single-digit levels following an
unusually high level of new business wins in 2011. Our growth
expectations reflect the impact of recent contract wins and are
supported, in part, by the company's strong book-to-bill ratio.
Likewise, we expect that EBITDA margins will remain stable and
that funds from operations will improve modestly to the mid-teens
area, based on our growth assumptions and our belief that higher
personnel costs to support revenue growth will be offset by
selling, general, and administrative cost leverage," S&P said.

"We revised PRA's financial risk profile to 'aggressive' from
'highly leveraged' (as our criteria define the terms), following a
second consecutive year of double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth
that, combined with optional debt repayments, has resulted in
adjusted leverage declining to less than 4.5x at Sept. 30, 2011.
This is an approximately 1.0x decline since last year and is
significantly lower than the more than 8x level following the
company's 2007 leveraged buyout. In addition, funds from
operations to total debt has improved to low-double-digit levels,
which we believe will be sustained in the future. Our current
assessment of the financial risk profile as aggressive also
reflects financial sponsor ownership and adjusted leverage that we
expect will be sustained above 4.0x for the next year. Although we
believe that the expected levels of growth can enable further
deleveraging over time, PRA's ownership by financial sponsor
Genstar Capital LLC could result in excess cash flow being used
for acquisitions or shareholder-friendly actions," S&P said.

"Our view of PRA's business risk profile as 'weak' reflects the
company's position as a midsize player in a fragmented industry
and the potential earnings volatility inherent in the contract-
dependent pharmaceutical contract research organization (CRO)
industry. While Standard & Poor's Ratings Services believes that
the CRO industry is slowly recovering, contract dependency and
susceptibility to contract cancellation remain major risks for PRA
and its competitors, and also support our assessment of the
company's business risk profile as weak. PRA historically has
relied heavily on the more volatile contracts of biotechnology and
smaller drug companies, but is expanding the large pharmaceutical
client portion of its business," S&P said.


PREMIER COMMUNITY BANK: Closed; Summit Bank Assumes All Deposits
---------------------------------------------------------------
Premier Community Bank of the Emerald Coast in Crestview, Fla.,
was closed on Friday, Dec. 16, 2011, by the Florida Office of
Financial Regulation, which appointed the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation as receiver.  To protect the depositors, the
FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Summit
Bank, National Association, of Panama City, Fla., to assume all of
the deposits of Premier Community Bank of the Emerald Coast.

The two branches of Premier Community Bank of the Emerald Coast
will reopen during its normal banking hours as branches of Premier
Community Bank, a division of Summit Bank, National Association.
Depositors of Premier Community Bank of the Emerald Coast will
automatically become depositors of Summit Bank, National
Association.  Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so
there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage
up to applicable limits.  Customers of Premier Community Bank of
the Emerald Coast should continue to use their existing branch
until they receive notice from Summit Bank, National Association,
that it has completed systems changes to allow other Summit Bank,
National Association, branches to process their accounts as well.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, Premier Community Bank of the Emerald Coast
had around $126.0 million in total assets and $112.1 million in
total deposits.  In addition to assuming all of the deposits of
the failed bank, Summit Bank, National Association, agreed to
purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Summit Bank, National Association entered into a
loss-share transaction on $98.0 million of Premier Community Bank
of the Emerald Coast's assets.  Summit Bank, National Association,
will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the
loss-share agreement.  The loss-share transaction is projected to
maximize returns on the assets covered by keeping them in the
private sector.  The transaction also is expected to minimize
disruptions for loan customers.  For more information on loss
share, please visit:

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html.

Customers with questions about the transaction should call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-405-6318.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/premier-fl.html.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $31.2 million.  Compared to other alternatives, Summit
Bank, National Association's acquisition was the least costly
resolution for the FDIC's DIF.  Premier Community Bank of the
Emerald Coast is the 91st FDIC-insured institution to fail in the
nation this year, and the thirteenth in Florida.  The last FDIC-
insured institution closed in the state was Old Harbor Bank,
Clearwater, on Oct. 21, 2011.


RCC NORTH: Wants Deal on Case Dismissal, Turnover of Funds OK'd
---------------------------------------------------------------
RCC North, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Arizona to approve a stipulation dismissing its Chapter 11 case
and turnover funds ($435,000) held in the Debtor's debtor-in-
possession tax account to US Bank, N.A.

US Bank, as trustee for the registered holders of Merrill Lunch
Mortgage Trust 2006-C1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-C1, asserted a claim against the Debtor,
secured by the property -- two class A office buildings and the
related campuses known as Phase I and Phase II of the Raintree
Corporate Center located north of northeast corner of Loop 101
(Pima Freeway), and Raintree Drive, at 15333 North Pima Road and
15111 North Pima Road, respectively, in Scottsdale, Arizona -- in
the principal amount of approximately $57.5 million.

The Debtor relates that on Aug. 10, 2011, US Bank exercised its
non-bankruptcy rights and remedies in and to the property by
conducting a trustee's sale of the property.  An affiliate of US
Bank purchased the property at the trustee's sale through a credit
bid.

The Debtor continues to hold the tax deposit in the DIP Tax
Account.  US Bank asserts that the Tax Deposit has been
specifically earmarked for the benefit of, and as adequate
protection for, US Bank.

The property was the Debtor's primary asset.  Consequently, upon
US Banks foreclosure of the property, the Debtor has (a) no
material remaining unencumbered, (b) nominal debts, and (c) no
means or ability to fund a plan of reorganization.

As a condition of dismissal, the Debtor will pay all unpaid fee
owing to the U.S. Trustee.

REALOGY CORP: To Amend Apple Ridge Securitization Facility
----------------------------------------------------------
Realogy Corporation and its subsidiaries have entered into
agreements to amend and extend the existing Apple Ridge Funding
LLC securitization program utilized by the Company's relocation
services operating unit, Cartus Corporation.  Under the terms of
the agreements, the program will be extended until Dec. 11, 2013.
The extension of the program involves (i) the issuance of a new
series of secured variable funding notes issued by the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary, Apple Ridge Funding LLC to various
commercial paper conduits and one financial institution and (ii)
the redemption of notes issued in 2007.  The Notes will bear
interest based on variable commercial paper rates plus a spread or
at the one-month LIBOR rate plus a spread, and have a maximum
borrowing capacity of $400 million, based on the amount of the
eligible assets being financed at any given point in time. The
borrowing costs under the amended facility are expected to be
approximately 100 basis points higher than under the existing
facility.  The closing of the transaction is expected to occur on
Dec. 16, 2011, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws.

Realogy has 'Caa2' corporate family rating and 'Caa3' probability
of default rating, with positive outlook, from Moody's.  The
rating outlook is positive.  Moody's said in January 2011 that the
'Caa2' CFR and 'Caa3' PDR reflects very high leverage, negative
free cash flow and uncertainty regarding the timing and strength
of a recovery of the residential housing market in the U.S.
Moody's expects Debt to EBITDA of about 14 times for the 2010
calendar year.  Despite the recently completed and proposed
improvements to the debt maturity profile, the Caa2 CFR continues
to reflect Moody's view that current debt levels are unsustainable
and that a substantial reduction in debt levels will be required
to stabilize the capital structure.

In February, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its
corporate credit rating on Realogy Corp. to 'CCC' from 'CC'.  The
rating outlook is positive.


REMINGTON COMMUNITY: S&P Upgrades SPUR on 2008-1 Bonds From 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its underlying rating
(SPUR) on Remington Community Development District, Fla.'s series
2008-1 bonds to 'BBB+' from 'BB' and series 2008-2 bonds to 'A-'
from 'BB', due to the recent assumption of the bonds' debt
service reserve surety policies by Assured Guaranty Corp. (AA-
/Stable), effective Sept. 21, 2011. The outlook is stable.

In March 2011, Standard & Poor's lowered the ratings on both bond
series to BB/Stable, due to its view that the bonds had inadequate
funding of their debt service reserve funds (DSR), given that the
surety bond provider, CIFG Assurance North America N.A., is not
rated by Standard & Poor's. Special assessments are levied to
match debt service payments with very limited excess cash flow,
therefore, the DSR is an important security feature that provides
additional liquidity if assessments are not received in full or on
a timely basis. Thus, Standard & Poor's views the recent
assumption of the bonds' DSR surety bond policies by Assured
Guaranty Corp., an investment-grade Standard & Poor's-rated
entity, as a positive rating factor.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that special-
assessment collections will continue to be sufficient to pay debt
service on the series 2008-1 and 2008-2 bonds," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Andrew Teras. "We believe the bonds' narrow
revenue stream and the district's lack of revenue-raising
flexibility hinder the potential for an upgrade. Should payment
delinquencies increase or demand for tax certificate sales
diminish, we may lower the rating," he added. The bonds are
separately secured by a first lien pledge upon non-ad valorem
special debt assessments levied on benefited properties in the
respective assessment areas," S&P said.

Remington Community Development District is in Osceola County,
roughly 25 miles south of downtown Orlando and adjacent to the
Florida Turnpike at the exit ramp to Kissimmee. The district is a
734-acre planned residential community and includes 1,714
residential units, a small commercial/retail component, and an 18-
hole golf course.


RIVER ROCK: Amends 9 3/4% Senior Notes Due 2011
-----------------------------------------------
River Rock Entertainment Authority announced that, following
approval by holders representing over 95% of the 9 3/4% Senior
Notes due 2011 outstanding, the previously-announced amendments to
the indenture and collateral documents governing the Existing
Notes became effective as of 12:00 Midnight on Dec. 13, 2011.

To implement the amendments, the Authority, the Tribe and U.S.
Bank National Association, as trustee, have entered into a First
Supplemental Indenture to the indenture, dated as of Nov. 7, 2003,
governing the Existing Notes and agreements amending the Pledge
and Security Agreement, dated as of Nov. 7, 2003, among the Tribe,
the Authority and the Trustee and the Deposit Account Control
Agreement, dated Jan. 11, 2010, among the Tribe, the Authority,
the Trustee and Bank of the West.  In addition, the Cash
Collateral and Disbursement Agreement, dated as of Nov. 7, 2003,
and amended as of Nov. 17, 2003, among the Tribe, the Authority,
the Trustee and the other parties thereto has been terminated.

The amendments and termination will become operative on the date
the Authority pays the exchange consideration and the consent
consideration for Existing Notes accepted for exchange and
corresponding consents delivered pursuant to the Authority's offer
and consent solicitation to tendering holders.  The Authority
expects the Exchange Date to occur on Dec. 21, 2011.  As the First
Supplemental Indenture has become effective and the Withdrawal
Deadline has now occurred, Existing Notes tendered and
corresponding consents delivered prior to Dec. 13, 2011, may no
longer be withdrawn or revoked.

The amendments remove substantially all protective covenants and
events of default from the Indenture and subordinate the liens on
the Authority's assets securing the Existing Notes to the liens
that will secure the new 9% Series A Senior Notes due 2018 and new
8% tax-exempt Series B Senior Notes due 2018 to be issued by the
Authority on the Exchange Date.  Existing Notes that are not
tendered and accepted for exchange will thereupon become subject
to the amendments and the rights of the holders of New Notes.

Holders who have not yet tendered their Existing Notes and
delivered their consents may do so at any time on or prior to
12:00 Midnight (New York City time) on Dec. 19, 2011.  Holders who
tender New Notes and deliver corresponding consents after the
Withdrawal Deadline and on or prior to the Expiration Date will be
eligible to receive the exchange consideration and the consent
payment, but not the consent premium.  Existing Notes tendered and
corresponding consents delivered after the Withdrawal Deadline may
not be withdrawn or revoked.

The Authority's offer and consent solicitation is being made
pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

                          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

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.

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.

                          *     *      *

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.


ROUND TABLE: Completes Chapter 11 Restructuring
-----------------------------------------------
Round Table Pizza, Inc. will emerge from bankruptcy following
confirmation of the Consensual Plan of Reorganization on
December 12 by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Oakland, California.
The company filed for Chapter 11 protection in February of this
year.

The plan provides for 100% repayment of obligations to its secured
and unsecured creditors and for its employee owners to retain 100%
ownership of the company.  The company is 100% employee owned with
ownership spread among 2,500 current and former employees.
According to the company's bankruptcy attorney Scott McNutt, "It
is unusual, maybe unique, for a company to emerge from Chapter 11
in ten months, pay all creditors 100% and preserve equity.  The
company's successful reorganization is a testament to the strength
of the Round Table Pizza brand and to management's restructuring
efforts and relentless focus on retaining ownership for its
employee owners."

During 2011, the company successfully renegotiated leases, closed
22 unprofitable stores, and improved profitability in its base
business. The system continues with approximately 450 franchised
and company-owned restaurants operating in the western U.S.

CEO Rob McCourt said: "This reorganization was made possible by
the strength of our franchisees and the commitment of our
employees.  Their collective efforts significantly improved our
operating cash flow and overall business results.  It's an
important turning point for us."

McCourt expects the company's operating EBITDA in 2011 to increase
70% over the previous year.  In November, company-owned
restaurants completed their seventh consecutive month of sales
increases.

Looking ahead, the company plans to open 10 new domestic locations
in 2012 and recently signed a development agreement to open 20
restaurants in Vietnam.  The first restaurant under this agreement
is scheduled to open in Ho Chi Minh City in the first quarter of
2012.  The company currently is in negotiations with strong
partners in other parts of Asia.

Round Table is known by generations of west coast families for its
quality fresh ingredients and innovative toppings, which accounts
for its signature tagline, "The Last Honest Pizza," describing its
commitment to quality and authenticity.  Round Table will add to
its lineup of great tasting pizzas with the introduction of its
new Triple Play Pepperoni pizza, with the tag line "Three kinds of
pepperoni, all kinds of flavor;" advertising begins December 26th.

counsel.


RUDEN MCCLOSKY: U.S. Trustee Wants Concerns on APA Satisfied
------------------------------------------------------------
Donald F. Walton, U.S. Trustee for Region 21, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida to deny
Ruden Mcclosky, P.A.'s motion to sell substantially all of the
Debtor's assets unless certain concerns are satisfied at the
hearing.

According to the U.S. Trustee:

   -- The Asset Purchase Agreement proposes to sell substantially
all of the assets of the Debtor, including all rights of the
seller, whether as lessor or as lessee, including all deposits and
prepayments, if any.  However, it is unclear whether there are any
current deposits with the landlords, as Schedule B does not list
any deposits.

   -- The APA is unclear as to whether the sale includes all
causes of action and Chapter 5 causes of action that the Debtor
may have.  These Chapter 5 causes of action would not be assigned
to the purchaser and must remain property of the estate for the
benefit of the creditors of the estate.

   --  The APA also proposes to sell all "fine art and art work".
The Debtor's Schedule B lists art work of $470,150, based upon an
appraised value as of February 2005.  Furthermore, based on
documentation provided to the U.S. Trustee, the art work is
currently insured for $5 million, a figure in excess of the listed
value of the art work.  The allocation of the sale price and the
threshold amount for collection of Accounts Receivable may be
impacted by the valuation of the FF&E and the art work.

   -- The APA provides for a cash bid by the proposed purchaser of
$5.6 million plus the assumption of certain of the Debtor's
liabilities in the approximate amount of $2 million, plus a post-
closing participation payment of approximately 33% of the accounts
receivable of the Debtor within two years after the closing date
after the winning bidder has collected $10 million from the
accounts receivable.  It is unclear as to what the Assumed Closing
Liabilities, includes and whether the difference between the
$2 million and the actual amount of the assumed liabilities will
be paid to the estate.

SINO-FOREST CORP: Davis Advisors Joins Calls to Make Payment
------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that Sino-Forest
Corp.'s second-largest shareholder has joined calls for the
Canadian-Chinese timber company to make interest payments on
outstanding debt, signaling a battle could be brewing between
equity and bondholders over the firm's assets.

                      About Sino-Forest


Sino-Forest is a holding company listed in Toronto, Canada. It
is engaged in forestry ownership and plantation management in
China as well as the sale of timber, wood logs and other wood
products in that country.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
July 18, 2008, Moody's Investors Service has assigned a
provisional (P)Ba2 senior unsecured rating to Sino-Forest
Corporation's (Sino-Forest) proposed issuance of US$300 million in
convertible notes.  At the same time, Moody's has affirmed the
company's Ba2 corporate family rating. The outlook for the ratings
is stable.


SOVRAN SELF: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Rating on Indicative Pref. Stock
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirms the credit ratings of Sovran Self Storage,
Inc. (NYSE: SSS) and Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership
(collectively, Sovran or the company) as follows:

Sovran Self Storage, Inc.

  -- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-';
  -- $175 million unsecured revolving credit facility at 'BBB-';
  -- $350 million senior unsecured term notes at 'BBB-';
  -- $225 million senior unsecured term loans at 'BBB-';
  -- Indicative preferred stock at 'BB'.

Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (as co-borrower)

  -- IDR at 'BBB-';
  -- $175 million unsecured revolving credit facility at 'BBB-';
  -- $350 million senior unsecured term notes at 'BBB-';
  -- $225 million senior unsecured term loans at 'BBB-'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The rating affirmations reflect the strength of Sovran's credit
metrics supported by a solid liquidity position and positive
operating fundamentals over the last four quarters.  Credit
concerns include elevated leverage metrics resulting from the
recent sizable acquisitions, the company's small-size, and
geographic concentration.

The Stable Outlook centers on the expected consistency of Sovran's
credit ratios over the near term and the company's mostly
unencumbered asset pool which provides sufficient contingent
liquidity.  However, the company's small size and geographic
concentration limits positive momentum to the company's rating.

Fixed charge coverage was 2.7 times (x) for the 12 months ended
Sept. 30, 2011, compared with 2.7x and 2.4x during 2010 and 2009,
respectively.  Fitch projects that over the next 12 to 24 months,
limited same store net operating income (SSNOI) growth will result
in fixed charge coverage of approximately 3.0x, consistent with
the assigned ratings.  Fitch calculates fixed charge coverage as
recurring operating EBITDA less Fitch's estimate of routine
capital expenditures divided by total interest incurred (excluding
the swap termination fees paid in 2009 and 2011).

Sovran's leverage, defined as net debt divided by recurring
operating EBITDA, is elevated for the rating category at 6.4x as
of Sept. 30, 2011, compared with 4.8x and 4.4x as of Dec. 31, 2010
and Dec. 31, 2009, respectively.  The elevated leverage reflects
the company's recent portfolio acquisition that provided minimal
earnings contribution during the recent period.  Fitch estimates
that pro forma leverage on a trailing 12 month basis is 5.9x.
Fitch anticipates leverage to trend towards 5.0x to 5.5x through
EBITDA growth given recent acquisitions and net debt reductions,
consistent with a 'BBB-' rating.

Sovran's liquidity coverage ratio is solid for the rating
category. Sources of liquidity (unrestricted cash, availability
under its unsecured revolving credit facility, availability under
a delayed draw term note and retained cash flows from operating
activities after dividend payments) divided by uses of liquidity
(debt maturities and projected routine capital expenditures)
result in a liquidity coverage ratio of 1.2x for the period from
Oct. 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2013.  The liquidity ratio declines to
0.9x upon the inclusion of unfunded development expenditures.
Additionally, the company's debt maturities are long-dated with
77% of debt maturing after 2015.  The retirement of $100 million
of term notes in 2013 is the company's nearest meaningful debt
obligation.  Fitch estimates Sovran's liquidity coverage will
improve provided the company retires its 2011 and 2012 secured
debt maturities.

The majority of Sovran's assets are unencumbered, providing a
large asset pool for contingent liquidity. Fitch notes the small
size of properties however, which may limit Sovran's ability to
rapidly monetize these assets. Unencumbered asset coverage of
unsecured debt (calculated as unencumbered annualized trailing
six-months net operating income as of Sept. 30, 2011, divided by a
9% capitalization rate, divided by unsecured debt) results in
coverage of 2.2x as of Sept. 30, 2011.

Separately, Sovran's portfolio benefits from recently positive
operating fundamentals. SSNOI growth turned positive in the fourth
quarter of 2010 (4Q'10) and has grown between 4.4% and 8.6% on a
quarterly basis.  While positive, Fitch does not consider the peak
growth rate sustainable. Occupancy remains materially below 2006
levels, with an average quarterly occupancy of 81.2%.  The company
has generated growth through increasing rental rates, up 6.1% on a
year-over-year basis as of Sept. 30, 2011.  Concessions have also
declined consistently over the same period.

Sovran's credit strengths are partially offset by the
aforementioned elevated leverage metrics resulting from the recent
portfolio acquisition.  Additional credit concerns include the
company's small size, geographic concentration and limited
earnings visibility as a result of the month-to-month lease terms.
Finally, the mortgage market provides limited contingent liquidity
for the self storage asset class.

The two-notch differential between Sovran Self-Storage, Inc.'s IDR
and the indicative preferred stock rating is consistent with
Fitch's criteria for corporate entities with an IDR of 'BBB-'.
Based on Fitch research titled 'Rating Hybrid Securities,' dated
July 28, 2011, these preferred securities would be deeply
subordinated and have loss absorption elements that would likely
result in poor recoveries in the event of a corporate default.

Although Fitch does not anticipate positive ratings momentum in
the near- to medium-term, the following factors may have a
positive impact on Sovran's ratings and/or Outlook:

  -- Net debt to recurring operating EBITDA ratio remaining below
     4.0x (leverage was 6.4x as of Sept. 30, 2011);
  -- Fixed-charge coverage ratio sustaining above 3.0x (coverage
     was 2.7x for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2011);
  -- Increased geographic diversification of the company's
     cashflows;
  -- A liquidity surplus.

The following factors may have a negative impact on Sovran's
ratings and/or Outlook:

  -- Fixed-charge coverage ratio declines below 2.0x;
  -- Leverage ratio sustaining above 6.0x;
  -- Engaging in sizable acquisitions not on a leverage neutral
     basis;
  -- If Fitch expects the company to breach any covenant, reducing
     the company's financial flexibility;
  -- Negative SSNOI performance.

Sovran Self Storage, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (REIT)
headquartered in Buffalo, NY.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, Sovran had
$1.6 billion in undepreciated book assets, a common equity
capitalization of $1 billion and a total market capitalization of
$1.7 billion.  As of Sept. 30, 2011, Sovran owned or operated a
portfolio of 434 self-storage properties totaling 25.6 million
square feet of leasable space in 25 states.

STRATEGIC AMERICAN: Board Approves Amendment to By-Laws
-------------------------------------------------------

a working capital deficit.


SWADENER INVESTMENT: Will Move to Approve Plan at Dec. 6 Hearing
----------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Terrence L. Michael approved, on Oct. 26,
2011, the Second Amended Disclosure Statement for Swadener
Investment Properties, LLC's First Amended Plan of Reorganization
dated Oct. 19, 2011.

The Debtor will seek the approval of the Plan at a confirmation
hearing scheduled for Dec. 6, 2011, at 11:00 a.m.

Claims in Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are
impaired under the Plan, and the holders thereof are entitled to
vote to accept the reject the Plan.  The claim in Class 10, and
the equity interest holders in Class 15 are not impaired; thus,
these classes are presumed to have accepted the Plan and are not
entitled to vote.

The Plan contemplates the sale of all the commercial properties
owned by the Debtor which the Debtor believes will generate funds
to pay allowed unsecured creditors.

The proceeds from the sale of a commercial property will be paid
in the following order:

  1. Costs of Sale
  2. Allowed Secured Claims
  3. Allowed Unsecured Claims
  4. Debenture Claims
  5. Subordinated Unsecured Claims
  6. Equity Interest Holders

General unsecured claims, owed over $414,000, will be paid 120
monthly installments beginning 30 days after the effective date of
the Plan.

Equity Interest Holders will retain their Interests.

The source of payments under the Plan will be funded by the cash
flow generated from the rents paid to the Debtor by tenants of its
commercial office buildings and retail center, or from the sale of
one or more of the commercial properties,.

Mark W. Swadener will continue to manage the Debtor and his annual
salary will be $50,000.  He will also act as leasing agent so that
commissions are only limited and payable to the extent of
necessary and outside brokerage services.  Dru Graham will
continue to perform her duties as chief financial officer, and her
annual salary will be $78,897; however, her salary has been
reduced by 10% and now will be paid $71,007.

Based on the payment agreements with the Debtor's secured
creditors, past performances in renting these properties, and the
completion of the Interstate 44 project, the Debtor believes it
will have sufficient cash to make the Plan payments.

WEISENBERG/INSPAR: In Default of Mediated Settlement Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Planet Resource Recovery, Inc., disclosed that after months of
good faith negotiations and a Mediated Settlement Agreement, by
and between Planet Resource Recovery and Kurt Neubauer v. Kent
Weisenberg and Inspar Field Services, LLC, Kent Weisenberg and
Inspar Field Services, LLC are in default of the Agreement.

On May 31, 2011, the parties to Civil Action No.4:10-cv-05086,
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Texas (Houston Division), agreed to settle their
disputes and entered into a Mediated Settlement Agreement.  The
material financial terms of the Mediated Settlement Agreement are
as follows: Kent Weisenberg agreed to pay Planet Resource
Recovery, Inc. a total of $575,000 ($72,250.99 of which was to be
paid directly to specific Planet Resource Recovery, Inc. and
Inspar Robotics, LLC creditors) and return all Planet Resource
Recovery, Inc. shares, (17,214,285 common shares) held by the
plaintiffs and nominal parties to that action. In exchange, Planet
Resource Recovery, Inc. agreed to return and/or convey all Inspar
Robotics intellectual property to Weisenberg and dismiss all
counterclaims.  In addition, Kent Weisenberg and Planet Resource
Recovery, Inc. resolved their dispute on mutually agreeable and
satisfactory terms.  The Parties agreed that they hereby rescind
all prior statements made against the other. This settlement
resolved all claims and counterclaims pending between the parties,
including former Planet Chief Executive Officer Kurt Neubauer.

The original terms of the Mediated Settlement Agreement called for
an initial payment of $425,000 (inclusive of the direct payments
to creditors) on or before Aug. 1, 2011, with a $150,000 letter of
credit issued by a third party financial institution in Planet
Resource Recovery, Inc.'s favor, payable on or before July 11,
2012.

On July 29, 2011, Kent Weisenberg and Inspar Field Services, LLC
requested and Planet agreed to modify the Mediated Settlement
Agreement in exchange for a $5,000 cash payment and Weisenberg's
agreement to pay the entire $575,000 in full (including direct
payments to creditors) on or before Aug. 16, 2011.

On Aug. 19, 2011, Kent Weisenberg and Inspar Field Services, LLC
requested and Planet again agreed to modify the Mediated
Settlement Agreement in exchange for a $40,000 cash payment toward
the settlement and Plaintiff's agreement to pay to Planet the
entire remaining balance (including direct payments to creditors)
on or before Sept. 29, 2011.  Weisenberg paid the $40,000 on
August 19, but failed to meet the obligations by Sept. 29, 2011,
thus being in breach of the remaining terms of the Mediated
Settlement Agreement, as modified.

On Oct. 6, 2011 Planet formally demanded that Weisenberg cure the
default. As of the issuance of this release, Weisenberg and Inspar
Field Services, LLC remain in breach of the Mediated Settlement
Agreement.

Planet has declared a default, and is in the process of evaluating
its best course of action, including litigation. The parties are
currently in negotiations to address the breach of the Mediated
Settlement Agreement.

WESTERN NATIONAL: Closed; Washington Federal Assumes All Deposits
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Western National Bank of Phoenix, Ariz., was closed on Friday,
Dec. 16, 2011, by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as
receiver.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a
purchase and assumption agreement with Washington Federal of
Seattle, Wash., to assume all of the deposits of Western National
Bank.

The three branches of Western National Bank will reopen during its
normal banking hours as branches of Washington Federal.
Depositors of Western National Bank will automatically become
depositors of Washington Federal.  Deposits will continue to be
insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change
their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit
insurance coverage up to applicable limits.  Customers of Western
National Bank should continue to use their existing branch until
they receive notice from Washington Federal that it has completed
systems changes to allow other Washington Federal branches to
process their accounts as well.

As of Sept. 30, 2011, Western National Bank had around $162.9
million in total assets and $144.5 million in total deposits.  In
addition to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank,
Washington Federal agreed to purchase essentially all of the
assets.

Customers with questions about the transaction should call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-405-7869.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/westernnatl.html.

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
will be $37.6 million.  Compared to other alternatives, Washington
Federal's acquisition was the least costly resolution for the
FDIC's DIF.  Western National Bank is the 92nd FDIC-insured
institution to fail in the nation this year, and the third in
Arizona.  The last FDIC-insured institution closed in the state
was Summit Bank, Prescott, on July 15, 2011.

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

Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
consolidated net loss of $1.62 million on $28.16 million of
revenue for the three months ended Oct. 31, 2011, compared with a

revenue for the same period during the prior year.

The Company reported a consolidated net loss of $1.63 million on

million of revenue for the same period during the prior year.

announce that we achieved a consecutive quarter of EBITDA
profitability.  This recent performance continues to reaffirm that
we are focused on returning to profitability levels we have
generated historically prior to a difficult fiscal year 2011.  We
continue to see a strong level of bid activity and ample
opportunities for growth.  The year over year improvement in
EBITDA is substantial and we are ahead of last year's revenue even
after the divestiture of two operation centers.  We continue to
maintain a healthy balance sheet with $5.2 million in cash, $14.6
million in working capital and a net tangible asset value of $20.9
million or $3.01 per diluted share.  We recently reduced our debt
to $2.4 million and we are in the process of renegotiating our
forbearance agreement with Bank of America while we finalize
arrangements with a new senior lender.  The management team is
focused on improving our financial performance and we remain
optimistic that fiscal year 2012 will be financially successful."

YRC WORLDWIDE: Sells Truckload Assets, Continues to Streamline
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review reports that YRC Worldwide Inc.
said it sold some of the assets of its Glen Moore truckload unit
to Celadon Group Inc. as the struggling company continues to
streamlines its operations.

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

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

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

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

                          *     *     *

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

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

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

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

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