1717 MARKET: Plan Deadline Extended Pending Examiner Report
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri, in
an ex parte order, extended until Jan. 28, 2013, 1717 Market
Place, L.L.C.'s time to file a Chapter 11 Plan and Disclosure
Statement.

In the motion seeking an extension, the Debtor pointed out that
the Court appointed Barry Worth as examiner to conduct a review of
the Debtor's past and current business operations including the
nature and extent of assets and liabilities and claims of the
Debtor and to file a report with the Court.  The examiner has
filed a motion for an additional extension requesting an extension
to Dec. 28, 2012, of the deadline to file his report.

The Debtor requested additional time in which to file its plan and
disclosure statement and suggests an extension of 30 days beyond
Dec. 28, 2012.  The Debtor said that until it receives and reviews
the examiner's report it cannot file any meaningful Plan and
Disclosure Statement.

                      About 1717 Market Place

1717 Market Place LLC, a grocery-store business, filed for Chapter
11 protection (Bankr. W.D. Mo. Case No. 12-00984) on July 17,
2012, in Springfield, Missouri.  The Debtor estimated assets and
liabilities of at least $10 million.  G&S Holdings LLC owns 98% of
the company and the remaining 2% is owned by J. Scott Schaefer and
Richard T. Gregg, according to court papers.

1717 Market Place said it is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by
Regions Bank in Joplin, Missouri, relating to a promissory note.
The bank is seeking the appointment of a receiver.

David Schroeder Law Offices, P.C., serves as the Debtor's counsel.

Barry Worth of Brown, Smith and Wallace, LLC, was appointed as
examiner.  David A. Sosne, Esq., and the law firm of Summers
Compton Wells PC serve as the examiner's counsel.


1ST FINANCIAL: James Kirkpatrick Quits from Board
-------------------------------------------------
James C. Kirkpatrick informed the Board of Directors of 1st
Financial Services Corporation of his decision to resign from the
Company's Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of its
wholly owned subsidiary, Mountain 1st Bank & Trust Company.

                        About 1st Financial

Hendersonville, North Carolina-based 1st Financial Services
Corporation is the bank holding company for Mountain 1st Bank &
Trust Company.  1st Financial has essentially no other assets or
liabilities other than its investment in the Bank.  1st
Financial's business activity consists of directing the activities
of the Bank.  The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Clear Focus
Holdings LLC.

The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the state of North
Carolina on April 30, 2004, and opened for business on May 14,
2004, as a North Carolina chartered commercial bank.  At Dec. 31,
2011, the Bank was engaged in general commercial banking primarily
in nine western North Carolina counties: Buncombe, Catawba,
Cleveland, Haywood, Henderson, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford, and
Transylvania.  The Bank operates under the banking laws of North
Carolina and the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the FDIC).

As a North Carolina bank, the Bank is subject to examination and
regulation by the FDIC and the North Carolina Commissioner of
Banks (the Commissioner).  The Bank is further subject to certain
regulations of the Federal Reserve governing reserve requirements
to be maintained against deposits and other matters.  The business
and regulation of the Bank are also subject to legislative changes
from time to time.

The Bank's primary market area is southwestern North Carolina.
Its main office and Hendersonville South office are located in
Hendersonville, North Carolina.  At Dec. 31, 2011, the Bank also
had full service branch offices in Asheville, Brevard, Columbus,
Etowah, Forest City, Fletcher, Hickory, Marion, Shelby, and
Waynesville, North Carolina.  The Bank's loans and deposits are
primarily generated from within its local market area.

After auditing the 2011 results, Elliott Davis PLLC, in
Greenville, South Carolina, expressed substantial doubt about 1st
Financial Services' ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered recurring
losses that have eroded regulatory capital ratios, and the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Mountain First Bank & Trust
Company, is under a regulatory Consent Order with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and the North Carolina Commissioner
of Banks that requires, among other provisions, capital ratios to
be maintained at certain heightened levels.  "In addition, the
Company is under a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond that requires, among other provisions, the submission
and implementation of a capital plan to improve the Company and
the Bank's capital levels.  As of Dec. 31, 2011, both the Bank and
the Company are considered "significantly undercapitalized" based
on their respective regulatory capital levels."

The Company reported a net loss of $20.5 million on net interest
income of $20.5 million for 2011, compared with a net loss of
$5.3 million on interest income of $20.4 million for 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $725.19
million in total assets, $706.39 million in total liabilities and
$18.79 million in total stockholders' equity.


22ND CENTURY GROUP: Has Forbearance with Holders of $215K Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Between Dec. 14, 2012, and Jan. 2, 2013, 22nd Century Group, Inc.,
entered into agreements with all holders of its outstanding
$1,675,000 15% notes due Dec. 14, 2012.  Holders of $1,330,000 of
the Notes agreed to extend the maturity date of the Notes to
April 14, 2013.  Holders of $100,000 of the Notes elected to
convert into shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the
terms of the Notes.  Holders of $215,000 of the Notes elected to
enter into a forbearance agreement.  Holders of $30,000 of the
Notes agreed to be paid over time.

A copy of the form of the agreement is available at:

                        http://is.gd/T6r6im

                         About 22nd Century

Clarence, New York-based 22nd Century Group, Inc., through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, 22nd Century Ltd, is a plant
biotechnology company using technology that allows for the level
of nicotine and other nicotinic alkaloids (e.g., nornicotine,
anatabine and anabasine) in tobacco plants to be decreased or
increased through genetic engineering and plant breeding.

Freed Maxick CPAs, PC), in Buffalo, New York, expressed
substantial doubt about 22nd Century Group's ability to continue
as a going concern following the financial results for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2011.  The independent auditors noted that the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and, as of
Dec. 31, 2011, has negative working capital of $1.9 million and a
shareholders' deficit of $1.2 million.  "Additional financing will
be required during 2012 in order to satisfy existing current
obligations and finance working capital needs, as well as
additional losses from operations that are expected in 2012."

The Company incurred a net loss of $1.34 million in 2011, compared
with a net loss of $1.42 million in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed $2.39 million
in total assets, $3.60 million in total liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit of $1.21 million.


261 EAST: Granted Interim Authority to Use MB Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
entered interim orders that authorized 261 East 78 Realty
Corporation to use cash collateral in which MB Financial Bank,
N.A., has an asserted interest, solely to cover the immediate cash
needs of the Debtor's business pursuant to a budget.  The third
interim order granted authority to use cash collateral until Dec.
31, 2012.

As partial adequate protection for the Debtor's use of cash
collateral, MB Financial was granted valid, perfected, and
enforceable liens upon and security interests in all of the types
of property coming into existence after the Petition Date, but
excluding any cause of action under Sections 544, 547, 548 or 550
of the Bankruptcy Code and related proceeds.

The replacement liens and security interests will be subject to
and subordinate to (a) unpaid professional fees and disbursements
incurred in the aggregate amount of $30,000 and allowed by order
of the Court, (b) fees payable to the United States Trustee and
any fees payable to the clerk of the Court, and (c) reasonable
fees and expenses of a trustee that are incurred after the
conversion of the Chapter 11 case to a case under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code, in an amount not to exceed $25,000.

The Debtor disputes that, as of the Petition Date, it was indebted
to MB Financial in the amount of $17,674,827.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 11, 2012,
the Debtor asked the Bankruptcy Court to expunge MB's lien and
proof of claim and determine that MB Financial has failed to
establish a valid lien on its premises located at 261 East 78th
Street, New York.  On Feb. 2, 2012, MB Financial filed a proof of
claim for $17.67 million.  MB Financial claims to be a secured
creditor of the Debtor having perfected its claims through
"recorded mortgages and related documents".  Chris Georgoulis,
Esq., at Georgoulis & Associates PLLC, in New York, attorney for
the Debtor, asserted that MB Financial does not have standing to
assert its claim because it does not have the original mortgage
notes.  Without proper documentation, MB Financial's claim must be
expunged because there is proof to establish its lien or claim, he
added.

According to the Debtor, there are three relevant mortgage loan
notes that MB Financial must have in its possession to have
standing to foreclose, namely:

   (1) the original acquisition note of $5.58 million;

   (2) a consolidated, amended and restated building loan note of
       $6.68 million; and

   (3) a consolidated, amended and restated project loan note of
       $205,000.

The Debtor made a mortgage loan with Broadway Bank, Chicago,
Illinois, a bank that is no longer in business, in April 2007.  At
that time executed an acquisition loan note, a building loan note
and a project loan note in favor of Broadway, as well as related
mortgages and other loan documents.  Two of these loans were
subsequently extended in September 2009, at which time the Debtor
executed a gap building loan note, a consolidated building loan
note, a gap project loan note and a consolidated project loan note
in favor of Broadway.

On April 23, 2010, the FDIC took over Broadway Bank and MB
Financial agreed to purchase certain of Broadway's assets through
the execution of a purchase and assumption agreement with FDIC.

                          About 261 East

261 East 78 Realty Corp. owns real property located at 261 East
78th Street, in New York.  The premises consist of seven
commercial units, three of which are currently occupied.  261 East
78 Realty filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case
No. 11-15624) on Dec. 6, 2011.  The case was assigned to Judge
Robert E. Gerber.  Shaked & Posner serves as the Debtor's counsel.
The Chapter 11 filing was precipitated by the commencement of
foreclosure proceedings on the premises.  The Debtor scheduled
$20.2 million in assets and $18.8 million in liabilities.  The
petition was signed by Lee Moncho, president.


501 GRANT: Lender SA Challenger Wants Involuntary Case Dismissed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Lender SA Challenger, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California, to dismiss the involuntary case
filed against 501 Grant Street Partners, LLC; and abstain from
hearing the case or transfer of venue to the Western District of
Pennsylvania.

On Nov. 21, 2012, according to the Debtor's case docket, the Court
transferred the involuntary case.

SA Challenger notes that the voluntary case commenced by the
Alleged Debtor was dismissed just two weeks prior to the
commencement of the involuntary case.

On Nov. 14, 2012, Vost Company LP, Allied Barton Security Services
LLC, MSA Systems Integration, Inc., and Gertrude Fox commenced the
involuntary case against the alleged Debtor.  The petitioning
creditors alleged claims in the aggregate total of $109,261, with
$100,000 of that total claim claimed by Mrs. Fox.

SA Challenger explains that, among other things:

  -- There will be no benefit to creditors or the alleged Debtor
     if the case will continue; and

  -- The case must be transferred to the Pennsylvania Court.

                     About 501 Grant Street &
                       Union Trust Building

An involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition was filed against
501 Grant Street Partners LLC, based in Woodland Hills, California
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 12-20066) on Nov. 14, 2012.  The
petitioning creditors are Allied Barton Security Services LLC,
owed $960 for security services; Cost Company LP, $5,900 owed for
masonry work; and MSA Systems Integration Inc., owed $2,401 for
unpaid invoice.  Malhar S. Pagay, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl &
Jones LLP, represents the petitioning creditors.

501 Grant Street Partners owns the Union Trust Building in
downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  It sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case No. 12-23890) on Aug. 3, 2012, to
avert a sheriff sale of the building set for Aug. 6.  The August
petition listed under $50,000 in both assets and debts.  Roger M.
Bould, Esq., at Keevican Weiss Bauerle & Hirsch, LLC, represented
501 Grant Street as counsel.  In November, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Judith K. Fitzgerald dismissed 501 Grant Street Partners' Chapter
11 petition, paving for the sheriff sale of the Union Trust
Building on Jan. 7, 2013.

SA Challenger Inc., which acquired interest in the building's
mortgage by U.S. Bank, is seeking to foreclose on the property.
SA Challenger is seeking to collect $41.4 million.  Earlier in
November, at the lender's request, Judge Ward appointed the real
estate firm CBRE to serve as receiver for the building, overseeing
its operation and management until the sheriff sale takes place.


ACTIVECARE INC: Delays Form 10-K for Fiscal 2012
------------------------------------------------
ActiveCare, Inc.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended Sept. 30, 2012, was not filed within the prescribed time
period because management requires additional time to compile and
verify the data required to be included in the report.  The report
will be filed within fifteen days of the date the original report
was due.

                          About ActiveCare

South West Valley City, Utah-based ActiveCare, Inc., is organized
into three business segments based primarily on the nature of the
Company's products.  The Stains and Reagents segment is engaged in
the business of manufacturing and marketing medical diagnostic
stains, solutions and related equipment to hospitals and medical
testing labs.  The CareServices segment is engaged in the business
of developing, distributing and marketing mobile health monitoring
and concierge services to distributors and customers.  The Chronic
Illness Monitoring segment is primarily engaged in the monitoring
of diabetic patients on a real time basis.

The Company's business plan is to develop and market products for
monitoring the health of and providing assistance to mobile and
homebound seniors and the chronically ill, including those who may
require a personal assistant to check on them during the day to
ensure their safety and well being.

As reported in the TCR on Dec. 30, 2011, Hansen, Barnett &

Ahern Rentals filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
Nev. Case No. 11-53860) on Dec. 22, 2011, after failing to obtain
an extension of the Aug. 21, 2011 maturity of its revolving credit
facility.  In its schedules, the Debtor disclosed $485.8 million
in assets and $649.9 million in liabilities.

Judge Bruce T. Beesley presides over the case.  Lawyers
at Gordon Silver serve as the Debtor's counsel.  The Debtor's
financial advisors are Oppenheimer & Co. and The Seaport Group.
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC serves as claims and notice agent.

lenders plus much smaller amounts held by others.  According to

AMEREN ENERGY: S&P Sees Genco Restructuring Within 5 Years
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that power producer Ameren Energy Generating Co. received
a fourth downgrade in 10 months from Standard & Poor's when the
corporate rating declined another grade on Dec. 21 to B-.  The
company had investment-grade status until February.  The latest
downgrade followed announcement by parent Ameren Corp. that it
would leave the merchant generating business where power is sold
at market rates. S&P interpreted the announcement to mean that
"GenCo will be sold or restructured within the next five years."

S&P was also influenced by a determination that "discretionary
cash flow will turn negative as higher-priced electricity hedges
expire" while "cash flow measures will materially weaken over the
next three years."

On the plus side, S&P noted that GenCo doesn't have longterm debt
maturities until 2018.

GenCo's $300 million in 7% senior unsecured notes due 2018 last
traded on Dec. 21 for 75 cents on the dollar, to yield 13.796%,
according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

The St. Louis-based Ameren parent has regulated utility
subsidiaries in Illinois and Missouri and two unregulated
generating subsidiaries.


AMERIFORGE GROUP: S&P Gives 'B' Corp Credit Rating, Stable Outlook
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to Houston-based Ameriforge Group Inc.
The outlook is stable.

"At the same time, we assigned our 'B+' (one notch higher than the
corporate credit rating) issue-level rating to Ameriforge's
$350 million first-lien term loan due 2019.  We assigned the issue
a '2' recovery rating, indicating our expectation of substantial
(70% to 90%) recovery in the event of a payment default," S&P
said.

"We also assigned a 'CCC+' issue rating to Ameriforge's proposed
$150 million second-lien term loan due 2020.  We assigned a '6'
recovery rating to the second-lien term loan, indicating our
expectation of negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default," S&P added.

The ratings on Ameriforge reflect Standard & Poor's assessment of
the company's "vulnerable" business risk and "highly leveraged"
financial risk.

"The ratings incorporate the company's exposure to cyclical and
competitive end markets, limited scale of operations, and its
relatively high leverage," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Steve Scovotti, "and they also reflect the company's diverse
product offering, a measure of geographic diversity, low
maintenance capital spending requirements, and its 'adequate'
liquidity."

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the company will
continue to grow both organically and through acquisitions.  The
acquisitions will help Ameriforge expand its product and service
lines.  As a result of the growth in revenue and EBITDA, we expect
the company to slightly de-lever over the next year," S&P said.

"An upgrade to 'B+' would require Ameriforge to grow its
operations and reduce debt leverage.  For an upgrade, we would
expect run-rate EBITDA between $150 million to $200 million
through most points in the business cycle, while maintaining debt
to EBITDA below 4x.  We could lower the ratings if projected debt
leverage exceeded 6x with no near-term remedy," S&P noted.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Marathon Bid for Fees Denied
-----------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan denied the application of
Marathon Asset Management LP for payment of fees and expenses.

Marathon seeks payment of up to $150,000 for the services provided
by its lawyers in connection with a pre-bankruptcy deal the
airline made with American Eagle Airlines Inc. to turn over
Embraer jets.

The hedge fund manager said it is entitled to payment "for making
a substantial contribution" in American Airlines' bankruptcy
case.

The U.S. Trustee, a Justice Department agency that oversees
bankruptcy cases, opposed the application, saying Marathon "has
not met its burden of proof to establish that it met the
statutory standards for substantial contribution."

ANCHOR BANCORP: Completes Prepayments of $150-Mil. FHLB Advances
----------------------------------------------------------------
Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc., the holding company for AnchorBank,
fsb., announced that the Bank has completed the prepayment of $150
million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  The borrowings
extinguished were floating rate advances with maturities in 2015
and had a current weighted average rate of 1.41%.  The repayment
of the FHLB advances triggered a pre-payment penalty of $3.5
million.

Chris Bauer, president and chief executive officer of the
Corporation and the Bank commented, "As stated in our second
quarter 2012 earnings release, we have been implementing
strategies to increase Bank profitability.  Given the economic
environment, using excess cash at the Bank level to reduce total
funding cost is an opportunity to enhance the Bank's profitability
by increasing net interest margin going forward.  Even though the
Bank's cash position has been reduced by $150 million, the Bank's
balance sheet remains strong as we continue to maintain a high
degree of liquidity."

Results of the Transaction

   * Eliminates estimated annualized interest cost of
     approximately $2.1 million on $150 million of paid off
     advances, reducing the Bank's overall cost of funds going
     forward.

   * Reduces cash on hand, which earns only modest returns in the
     current interest rate environment.

   * The FHLB advance pre-payment penalty of $3.5 million, or
     $0.17 per share, will be recouped by a higher net interest
     rate margin going forward.

   * The Tier 1 leverage ratio adjusted for the pre-payment of the
     FHLB advances increases 14 basis points to 4.77% from 4.63%
     reported at Sept. 30, 2012.  The adjusted ratio only takes
     into account the reduction in FHLB advances and the
     prepayment fee.
    
   * Better positions the Bank to compete in the current rate
     environment while maintaining a flexible liquidity position
     for future opportunities.

   * The Bank's interest rate risk profile is relatively
     unchanged.

While the pre-payment of FHLB advances will increase the Tier 1
leverage ratio at the Bank, the Corporation, as the holding
company of the Bank, continues to be burdened with significant
senior debt and preferred stock obligations:

   * The Corporation currently owes $116.3 million of loan
     principal to various lenders led by U.S. Bank under a credit
     agreement that matures June 30, 2013.  In addition, accrued
     but unpaid interest and fees at Nov. 30, 2012, totaling $53.9
     million associated with this obligation are also due and
     payable at maturity.

   * The Corporation issued $110 million in preferred stock in
     January 2009 to the United States Treasury pursuant to the
     Treasury's Capital Purchase Program.  As permitted under the
     CPP program, the Corporation has deferred 15 quarterly
     preferred stock dividend payments to the Treasury; which has
     resulted in total unpaid dividends at Nov. 30, 2012, of $23.1
     million, including compounding.

   * While the Bank has substantial liquidity, it is currently
     precluded by its regulators from paying dividends to the
     Corporation for purposes of repayment of the foregoing
     obligations.

The Corporation continues to work with Sandler O'Neill & Partners,
L.P., as its financial advisor in efforts to address its capital
needs.

                        About Anchor Bancorp

Madison, Wisconsin-based Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. is a
registered savings and loan holding company incorporated under the
laws of the State of Wisconsin.  The Company is engaged in the
savings and loan business through its wholly owned banking
subsidiary, AnchorBank, fsb.

Anchor BanCorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AnchorBank fsb,
each consented to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist by
the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The Corporation and the Bank
continue to diligently work with their financial and professional
advisors in seeking qualified sources of outside capital, and in
achieving compliance with the requirements of the Orders.  The
Corporation and the Bank continue to consult with the successors
to the OTS, Federal Reserve, the the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on a
regular basis concerning the Corporation's and Bank's proposals to
obtain outside capital and to develop action plans that will be
acceptable to federal regulatory authorities, but there can be no
assurance that these actions will be successful, or that even if
one or more of the Corporation's and Banks proposals are accepted
by the Federal regulators, that these' proposals will be
successfully implemented.  While the Corporation's management
continues to exert maximum effort to attract new capital,
significant operating losses in fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011,
significant levels of criticized assets and low levels of capital
raise substantial doubt as to the Corporation's ability to
continue as a going concern.  If the Corporation and Bank are
unable to achieve compliance with the requirements of the Orders,
or implement an acceptable capital restoration plan, and if the
Corporation and Bank cannot otherwise comply with those
commitments and regulations, the OCC or FDIC could force a sale,
liquidation or federal conservatorship or receivership of the
Bank.

The Company reported a net loss of $36.73 million on
$127.25 million of total interest income for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2012, a net loss of $41.17 million on $166.46 million of
total interest income for the year ended March 31, 2011, and a net
loss of $176.91 million on $217.08 million of total interest
income for the year ended March 31, 2010.

McGladrey LLP, in Madison, Wisconsin, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that all of the subsidiary bank's regulatory capital amounts and
ratios are below the capital levels required by the cease and
desist order.  The subsidiary bank has also suffered recurring
losses from operations.  Failure to meet the capital requirements
exposes the Corporation to regulatory sanctions that may include
restrictions on operations and growth, mandatory asset
dispositions, and seizure of the subsidiary bank.  In addition,
the Corporation's outstanding balance under the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement is currently in default.  These matters
raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Corporation to
continue as a going concern.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$2.66 billion in total assets, $2.70 billion in total liabilities
and a $36.03 million total stockholders' deficit.


APPLIED DNA: Crede CG to Sell 112.3 Million Common Shares

Stock and 67,204,300 shares issuable upon exercise or exchange of

The Company is not selling any securities and will not receive any

devoted to developing DNA embedded biotechnology security
solutions in the United States.  The Company's shares of common
stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol

RBSM LLP, in New York, noted in its report on Applied DNA's fiscal
2011 financial results that the Company has suffered recurring
losses and does not have significant cash or other material
assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues
sufficient to cover its operations, which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company reported a net loss of $10.51 million for the fiscal
year ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with a net loss of $7.91
million during the prior year.

in total assets, $653,910 in total liabilities, all current, and
$1.31 million in total stockholders' equity.


ARCAPITA BANK: Wants Short Extension of Plan Deadline
-----------------------------------------------------
Arcapita Bank B.S.C.(c), et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York to further extend their
exclusive period to file a plan until Jan. 14, 2013, and their
exclusive period to solicit acceptances of that plan until
March 14, 2013.  The hearing on the motion is scheduled for
Jan. 9, 2013, at 4:30 p.m.

On Dec. 21, 2013, the Court approved the fourth exclusivity motion
of the Debtors which extended the exclusive filing period until
Jan. 5, 2013, and the exclusive solicitation period until March 5,
2013.

According to papers filed with the Court, the Debtors were
informed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors that it
should be in a position to provide the Debtors with additional
input regarding these inter-creditor issues within the next week.
Accordingly, the Debtors agreed, with Committee support, to seek
yet a further short extension of the Exclusive Periods -- for an
additional nine-day period -- to give the Committee additional
time to provide the Debtors with input regarding value allocation
(between the creditors of Arcapita Bank and the creditors of
Arcapita Investment Holdings Limited) and other issues.

terms of an out-of-court restructuring.

Subsequent to the Chapter 11 filing, Arcapita Investment Holdings
Limited, a wholly owned Debtor subsidiary of Arcapita in the
Cayman Islands, issued a summons seeking ancillary relief from the
Grand Court of the Cayman Islands with a view to facilitating the
Chapter 11 cases.  AIHL sought the appointment of Zolfo Cooper as

ARKANOVA ENERGY: Swings to $3.8MM Net Income in Fiscal 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------
Arkanova Energy Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing net
income of $3.84 million on $980,052 of total revenue for the year
ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of $2.06 million on
$1.32 million of total revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $2.44
million in total assets, $9.22 million in total liabilities and a
$6.78 million total stockholders' deficit.

MaloneBailey, LLP, in Houston, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2012, citing cumulative losses since
inception and negative working capital, which raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

On Dec. 26, 2012, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,000,000
shares at a price of $0.10 per shares for gross proceeds of
$100,000.  The Company issued the shares to one director and
officer of the Company and the Company relied on the exemption
from the registration requirements provided for in Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ARTE SENIOR LIVING: Sets Jan. 29 Plan Confirmation
--------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the owner of the 170-unit Arte Resort retirement
community in Scottsdale, Arizona is asking the bankruptcy judge in
Phoenix to approve a reorganization plan at a Jan. 29 confirmation
hearing cutting down $34.3 million owing to the secured lender.

The Chapter 11 filing took place in July to halt foreclosure. The
owner believes the project is worth $25 million to $27 million "as
is."

According to the report, the plan calls for giving the secured
lender a new lien equal to the value of the property as determined
by the bankruptcy court.  Any shortfall will be in a separate
unsecured class for the lender alone.  The secured portion of the
claim will be secured by a lien maturing in 12 years.  The revised
loan would accrue interest at 3.75%, unless the judge finds
another rate is proper.  The new loan will pay interest only for
two years.  Thereafter, amortization will be paid on a 25-year
schedule.

The report adds that unsecured creditors and the lender on the
deficiency claim will share $100,000 cash.

To retain the equity, the owners will contribute $1 million cash,
according to the report.

ASPEN GROUP: Raises $320,000 From Private Sale of Securities
------------------------------------------------------------
Aspen Group, Inc., raised $320,000 in gross proceeds from the sale
of units consisting of shares of common stock and five-year
warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share in a private placement
offering to six accredited investors (including $17,500 invested
by the Company's Chief Financial Officer).  The units sold
contained a total of 914,286 shares of common stock and 457,143
warrants.

In connection with the offering, Aspen agreed to register the
shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying
the warrants.  In connection with these sales, Aspen paid broker-
dealers fees of $21,350.  The sale of units occurred in two
closings -- the first on Dec. 18, 2012, and the second on Dec. 21,
2012.  The terms of this private placement were identical to those
of private placements which closed on Sept. 28, 2012, and Dec. 11,
2012, where the Company raised total gross proceeds of $3,107,000.
The shares were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption
from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

On Dec. 17, 2012, the Board of Directors re-priced the exercise
prices of 1,880,000 outstanding options to $0.35 per share
including 800,000 options held by Michael Mathews, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and 200,000 options held by David Garrity,
the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Mathews agreed to extend the due dates of both of his $300,000
convertible notes from Aug. 31, 2013, to Aug. 31, 2014.

ATP OIL: 2nd Lien Bondholders Want Shot at Proposing Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
ATP Oil & Gas Corporation's unsecured creditors and the ad hoc
committee of holders of 11.875% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2015
issued by ATP Oil lodged objections to the Company's request for
extension of its exclusive periods to file and solicit acceptances
of a Chapter 11 plan.

The Second Lien Holders said the first 120 days of this case have
not gone well.  When the case began, the Debtor's Second Lien
Notes, with a face amount of $1.5 billion, were trading in the
market at approximately 30 cents on the dollar.  The Second Lien
Notes are now trading at approximately 10 cents on the dollar, and
the Debtor's DIP financing is likewise trading well below par.
Unsecured claims and common stock have no meaningful market value.

The Second Lien Holders argued that the precipitous decline in the
market value of the Second Lien Notes has occurred against the
backdrop of significant operational and financing setbacks.  The
commercial operation of the Debtor's Clipper Wells project has
been repeatedly delayed.  Moreover, as a result of the Debtor's
failure to meet conditions for funding set forth in its DIP Credit
Amendment, the Debtor has been forced to undertake an expedited
sale process, which will likely require bidders and financing
sources to make critical decisions before the success of the
Clipper project is known and while litigation between the Debtor
and ORRI and NPI holders remains unresolved.

The Ad Hoc Second Lien Committee said it has every interest in
working cooperatively with the Debtor to the extent feasible.  At
this point in the case, however, members of the committee should
no longer be hostage to the Debtor as they seek to protect their
investment in the context of the sale process.  If Second Lien
Noteholders determine that the best way to maximize value is to
sponsor their own plan of reorganization, they should not be held
up by a Debtor that has already lost control of this case,
including the timing and the process under which its core assets
will be marketed and sold.

Meanwhile, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed
in the case told Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur that, with the
Debtor having contractually bound itself to liquidate
substantially all of its assets for the sole benefit of the DIP
Lenders, unless a highly conditional plan of reorganization can be
consummated in the near term, the Committee finds it extraordinary
that the Debtor is seeking any extension of exclusivity, never
mind one that would extend beyond the closing of the liquidation
that the Debtor has obligated itself to pursue.  Not only has the
Debtor failed to demonstrate good faith progress toward a
reorganization, its commitment to liquidate its assets in the near
term absent extraordinary circumstances -- effectuating a plan
that pays the DIP Lenders' claims in full in cash (i.e., over $625
million) or otherwise meets with the DIP Lenders' approval --
reflects the opposite.

Since its formation, the Committee has expressed concern that the
Debtor was being positioned for a liquidation by the DIP Lenders.
The Debtor encumbered nearly all of its assets in exchange for an
expensive roll-up financing package, leaving the estate and the
Committee very little flexibility to achieve better financing
terms.  Since its chapter 11 filing, the Debtor has missed
milestone after milestone under the DIP facility, and now finds
itself at the mercy of the DIP Lenders and their ability to cause
a liquidation of the estate for their sole benefit.  Perhaps most
troubling, knowing that it faces almost certain liquidation, the
Debtor has no viable business plan around which to formulate a
plan of reorganization.  In fact, the Debtor, at the behest of the
DIP Lenders, has placed the liquidation of its assets ahead of
completing the Clipper project, which was to form the cornerstone
of a restructuring.

According to the Committee, the Debtor has failed to establish any
cause for an extension of exclusivity.  In fact, cause would
otherwise exist to terminate exclusivity had such relief been
requested.  Given its condition, the Debtor should welcome every
potential alternative to its contractually compelled liquidation.
While an expiration of exclusivity does not guarantee that a
viable reorganization plan will be consummated, an extension of
exclusivity is likely to thwart the last chance this estate has to
provide a distribution to stakeholders other than the DIP Lenders.
There is simply no justification for denying stakeholders that
opportunity, the Committee argued.

On Dec. 6, 2012, the Court entered an Order authorizing the second
amendment to the Debtor's DIP financing, which, among other
things, identifies certain milestones that the Debtor must achieve
to remain in compliance with the financing.  Specifically, the
Debtor has agreed to these terms:

     -- Unless the Debtor has filed a plan providing for payment
        in full in cash of all Indebtedness (including committed
        financing for implementation of such plan) or otherwise
        approved by the Required Lenders, to file a motion to sell
        substantially all of its shelf assets, on terms acceptable
        to the Required Lenders, or prior to Jan. 8, 2013.

     -- To obtain Court approval of bid procedures, acceptable to
        the Required Lenders, for the sale of the shelf assets by
        Jan. 24, 2013 and to commence an auction for such assets
        by Feb. 26, 2013.

     -- Unless an Approved Plan has been filed and the related
        disclosure statement has been approved, to (i) obtain
        Court approval of the sale of the shelf assets by Feb. 28,
        2013 and (ii) consummate such sale by March 15, 2013.

     -- Unless the Debtor has filed an Approved Plan, to file a
        motion to sell substantially all of its deepwater assets,
        on terms acceptable to the Required Lenders, on or prior
        to Jan. 22, 2013.

     -- To obtain Court approval of bid procedures, acceptable
        to the Required Lenders, for the sale of the deepwater
        assets by Feb. 14, 2013 and to commence an auction for
        such assets by March 26, 2013.

     -- Unless an Approved Plan has been filed and the related
        disclosure statement has been approved, to (i) obtain
        Court approval of the sale of the deepwater assets by
        March 28, 2013 and (ii) consummate such sale by
        April 11, 2013.

     -- If an Approved Plan has been filed, to (i) obtain Court
        approval of the related disclosure statement by Feb. 21,
        2013, (ii) obtain confirmation of such plan by March 28,
        2013, and (iii) have such plan become effective no later
        than 15 days after confirmation.

The deepwater assets comprise the Debtor's principal value.

The Second Lien Holders argued that the sale "milestones" set
forth in the DIP Credit Amendment leave precious little time for
holders of Second Lien Notes, who are owed $1.5 billion plus
interest, to determine whether they want to own the Debtor's
equity or assets and, if so, how to deal with the claims of the
DIP Lenders, ORRI and NPI holders, and other secured creditors.

The Debtor is the issuer, pursuant to an Indenture dated as of
April 23, 2010, of Second Lien Notes in an aggregate principal
amount equal to $1.5 billion.  The principal amount of the Second
Lien Notes -- along with interest, fees and other amounts owed
under the Indenture -- is secured by a lien on property of the
Debtor.  The Ad Hoc Second Lien Committee is composed of Second
Lien Noteholders holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien Notes.

The Debtor is under Court authority to obtain up to $275 million
of new financing through the DIP Credit Facility.  The DIP Credit
Facility is also a "roll-up," such that the Debtor's pre-petition
first lien loans of approximately $367.6 million, as well as $52.1
million of outstanding swap obligations, were refinanced and
afforded super-priority administrative status along with the new
loans to the Debtor.  In addition, the DIP Order provided the
Indenture Trustee for the Second Lien Notes with junior adequate
protection liens on all of the Debtor's assets and a junior super-
priority claim.

Pursuant to sections 1121(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Debtor's exclusive rights to file a chapter 11 plan and to solicit
acceptances of such plan was to expire Dec. 17, 2012, and Feb. 13,
2013, respectively.

The Debtor is seeking 180-day extensions of each of its exclusive
periods, to June 17, 2013 and Aug. 12, 2013, respectively.

AUTO CARE: US Trustee Wants Case Converted to Chapter 7
-------------------------------------------------------
August B. Landis, Acting United States Trustee for Region 17, asks
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California
to convert Auto Care Mall of Fremont, Inc.'s Chapter 11 case to
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The U.S. Trustee says the
Debtor has no incentive to pursue collection of significant loans
and preferential transfers to the shareholders of the Debtor, and
an unbiased and independent Chapter 7 trustee would be in a much
better position to evaluate and pursue such transfers.  The U.S.
Trustee further said in the filing, "In addition, the commercial
real property owned by the Debtor is in receivership, and the
lender has sought relief from stay in order to foreclose.
Finally, the Debtor has failed to file any monthly operating
reports in the case -- the Court, the creditors and the UST have
no idea what is happening in the case."

                  About Auto Care Mall of Fremont

Auto Care Mall of Fremont, Inc., in San Jose, California, filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Calif. Case No. 12-56050)
on Aug. 15, 2012.  The only shareholders of the Debtor are
Dan Duc (50%) and his wife (50%).  Judge Stephen L. Johnson
presides over the case.  The Law Office of Patrick Calhoun, Esq.,
serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The petition was signed by Gina
Baumbach, vice president.

On May 18, 2012, at the behest of the secured lender, Bank of
Marin, the Alameda County Superior Court of the State of
California appointed Susan L. Uecker as receiver to the Debtor's
real property commonly known as 40851-40967 Albrae Street, in
Fremont, California.  The Superior Court appointed the receiver to
address the Debtor's mismanagement and misappropriation of the
bank's cash collateral.

The property is improved with four single story warehouse
buildings totaling 38,226 square feet and is occupied exclusively
with auto service related businesses.  The property consists of
15 units, three of which are currently vacant.  The property
generates monthly rents totaling roughly $34,492 in addition to
common area maintenance charges totaling $8,235.

According to Bank of Marin, the Debtor owes the bank roughly
$6.5 million under two prepetition promissory notes.  The Debtor's
Schedule D identifies a judgment lien against the property held by
Bank of America to secure a $6 million claim scheduled by the
Debtor as a non-contingent, liquidated, and undisputed held by
Bank of America.   The Debtor's Schedules D identifies non-
contingent, liquidated and undisputed claims totaling $11.105
million that encumber the property, which the Debtor values at
$7.4 million.

The Debtor disclosed $13,400,000 in assets and $11,119,045 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

BEHRINGER HARVARD: Great American Extends $31MM Loan to Unit
------------------------------------------------------------
Behringer Harvard Mockingbird Commons, LLC, a 70% owned subsidiary
of Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP, entered
into a promissory note agreement with Great American Life
Insurance Company to borrow $31 million.

Proceeds from the loan and additional cash were used to pay off
the outstanding principal balance of a $31.6 million note with
Bank of America and all associated closing costs.  The Loan bears
interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum and requires monthly
payments of interest only during the first 18 months with 30 year
amortization thereafter.  The Loan, which matures on Dec. 19,
2015, contains two one-year extension options if certain
conditions are met and does not allow prepayment in whole or in
part during the first 12 months.  Prepayment in whole (but not in
part) from months 13 to 30 will include a yield maintenance
premium as defined under the terms of the Loan.

The Loan is secured by a 198 room hotel and retail project located
in Dallas, Texas.  The Company has guaranteed payment of certain
recourse liabilities with respect to certain customary nonrecourse
carveouts in favor of the lender in respect to the Loan.

BEL-SHORE ENTERPRISES: Pro-Motion Files for Chapter 11
------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Pro-Motion Distributing, a distributor of aftermarket
auto parts, filed a petition for Chapter 11 reorganization in Los
Angeles to implement a restructuring of secured debt.

The Los Angeles-based company disclosed assets of $3.8 million and
debt totaling $14.7 million, including $9.75 million owing to
secured creditor Praesidian Capital Investors Inc.

According to the report, there is agreement with Praesidian on a
Chapter 11 plan reducing secured debt to $5 million. Unsecured
creditors are slated to have a 60% recovery from a creditors'
trust funded with a $1.8 million note paid with future earnings.
Praesidian will subordinate the unsecured portion of its claim
to the claims of unsecured creditors, according to a court
filing.

Bel-Shore Enterprises Inc., doing business as Pro Motion
Distributing and UpNextCarParts.com, filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 12-51569) on Dec. 20, 2012.
Michael D. Good, Esq., at South Bay Law Firm, in Torrance,
California, serves as counsel to the Debtor.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Fraud Suits Stay With Bankruptcy Judge
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that according to a ruling by U.S. District Judge Jed
Rakoff, where the trustee liquidating Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities LLC is suing customers for receiving fraudulent
transfers, the bankruptcy judge can hear the cases and submit
proposed rulings to the district court.

The report relates that Judge Rakoff's 22-page opinion on Jan. 4
is a defeat for defendants in more than 300 lawsuits who wanted
Judge Rakoff to take the suits entirely away from the bankruptcy
judge in light of a 2011 decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in a
case called Stern v. Marshall.  Madoff Trustee Irving Picard sued
the customers, saying they received fraudulent transfers because
they withdrew more cash from their accounts than they invested.

The Bloomberg report notes that Judge Rakoff left the door
slightly ajar for an eventual victory by customers. Depending on
how he rules in another case, he still might take the fraudulent
transfer suits away from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Burton R. Lifland.

The report recounts the Supreme Court's Stern opinion roiled the
bankruptcy courts by ruling that certain types of state-law claims
can't be decided finally in bankruptcy court.  Instead, the U.S.
Constitution only allows life-tenured district judges to make
final rulings in those situations.  Since Stern was handed down,
Judge Rakoff said the "emerging consensus" among federal district
judges in New York is for enabling bankruptcy judges to issue
recommended rulings in fraudulent transfer suits, thus allowing a
district judge to review the record anew and make an appropriate
final decision without giving any deference to the result
recommended by the bankruptcy judge.

Judge Rakoff, the report relates, exercised his discretion in
declining to take the suits away from bankruptcy court anyway.  He
said there will be "efficiency" in having the recommendation from
a bankruptcy judge who has "both intimate familiarity with the
underlying liquidation and substantial expertise in the bankruptcy
law."

Mr. Picard failed to convince Judge Rakoff there should be an
exception allowing Judge Lifland to make final fraud rulings
because Madoff is a liquidation under the Securities Investor
Protection Act, not an ordinary bankruptcy.

Judge Rakoff left one question undecided.  The answer might free
customers from Judge Lifland's control, the Bloomberg report said.

The report recounts that Multiple customers argued in a separate
dispute before Judge Rakoff that Section 502(d) of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code doesn't apply in SIPA cases.  That section allows
a bankruptcy trustee to deny a claim so long as the creditor is a
defendant in a lawsuit.

If he decides the section doesn't apply to the Madoff liquidation,
Judge Rakoff will not allow Judge Lifland to make even recommended
rulings.  In the meantime, however, he sent the hundreds of suits
back to Judge Lifland.

Judge Rakoff's decision was long in coming.  He heard oral
argument from the lawyers in June.

The fraudulent transfer opinion was part of Securities Investor
Protection Corp. v. Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC,
12-mc-00115, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York
(Manhattan).

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

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

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

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

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

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

The SIPA Trustee has said that as of March 31, 2012, through
prepetition litigation and other settlements, he has successfully
recovered, or reached agreements to recover, more than $9 billion
-- over 50% of the principal lost in the Ponzi scheme by those who
filed claims -- for the benefit of all customers of BLMIS.
The liquidation has so far has cost the Securities Investor
Protection Corp. $1.3 billion, including $791 million to pay a
portion of customers' claims.

Mr. Picard has so far made only one distribution in October of
$325 million for 1,232 customer accounts.  Uncertainty created by
various appeals has limited Mr. Picard's ability to distribute
recovered funds.


BHFS I LLC: Frisco Square's Plan Unanimously Accepted, Confirmed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that owners of the Frisco Square master-planned
development in the Dallas suburb of Frisco secured approval of a
reorganization plan on Dec. 20.  All creditors are paid in full,
either immediately or over time, thus allowing ownership to remain
much the same.  The project owes about $48.5 million on matured
mortgages held by Bank of America NA and Regions Bank. In return
for a $16.5 million paydown, the lenders restructured the
mortgages.  All objections to the plan were resolved, allowing the
plan to be approved unanimously by creditors.

BIG M INC: Mandee, Anne Sez Owner Files for Chapter 11
------------------------------------------------------
Totowa, New Jersey-based Big M, Inc., owner of Mandee, Annie sez,
and Afazxe Stores, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.N.J. Case
No. 13-10233) on Jan. 6, 2013 with Salus Capital Partners, LLC,
funding the Chapter 11 effort.

Big M was established after World War II by brothers Leon, Max,
and Bernard Mandelbaum upon their return from the war, with their
first store opening in Brooklyn, New York.  At present Big M
remains a private, family-owned business, operating primarily
through the two exclusive brands that it developed, Mandee and
Annie sez, as well as Afaze. Big M currently operates 129 store
locations in eight states, consisting of 84 Mandee stores, 35
Annie sez stores, and 10 Afaze stores.  Mandee, Annie sez, and
Afaze stores maintain separate merchandising and buying operations
under the Debtor's overall management, supervision, and direction.

The Mandee brand is a juniors fashion retailer with 84 stores in
Illinois and along the East Coast. Annie sez is a discount
department-store retailer for women with 35 stores. Afaze is 10-
store jewelry and accessory chain.

Mandee stores are located in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.  Annie sez has
stores located in Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, New
York, and Pennsylvania, and conducts business through its online
retail site at http://www.AnnieSez.com/. Stores operating under
the trade name Afaze are in the states of New York, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania.

The Debtor currently employs approximately 1,200 employees,
consisting of 490 full-time employees, 710 part-time employees,
and an additional 600 employees hired periodically during the
busiest periods of the year.

The Debtor's anticipated gross revenue for the year ending January
26, 2013 is approximately $192 million.

Secured Lender Salus Capital Partners, LLC, is owed $3.2 million
in original principal under a term loan that matures in April
2014.  The Debtor also had aggregate unsecured debts totaling $15
million.

                        Road to Bankruptcy

"For most of its operating history, the Debtor operated
profitably.  However, in recent years, general economic factors
have hampered the Debtor's business, squeezing the Debtor's profit
margins, eroding its  business, and ultimately resulting in
unprofitable operations.  Like other retailers, the Debtor has
been victimized by an economy that has drastically reduced its
customers' disposable incomes and clothing spending.  The revenue
impact of this new economic reality was exacerbated by pressures
on the Debtor's expense flank.  Credit has tightened, making it
more and more difficult for the Debtor to finance and expand its
inventory," says Glenn R. Langberg, the CRO, in a court filing.

In 2012, GRL Capital Advisors helped the Debtor craft an-out-of-
court restructuring plan, which helped the Debtor implement and
carry out various critical cost-cutting and income producing
measures.  The restructuring included closing of 27
underperforming stores.  As a result of these efforts, by
September 2012, Big M was tracking at a positive  $1.9 million
EBITDA versus the negative EBITDA of $8.9 million the year prior,
and the Debtor was projecting improved sales during the holiday
season as well as 2013.

Despite the successful path towards profitability, the Debtor's
business was severely impacted by Superstorm Sandy and its after
effects, Mr. Langberg explains.  "Indeed, the Superstorm resulted
in the closure of practically all of the Debtor's store locations
in the Tri-State area.  The majority of those impacted stores, in
addition to the company's office and distribution center, were
unable to open and/or fully operate for over a week.  Three of the
impacted stores were closed for approximately one month, and to
this day, only operate on a limited basis."

With that backdrop and without new money coming in from sales,
which could have enabled the Debtor to meet its financial
obligations, the Debtor's business declined and has not since
recovered

While the Debtor has made progress, it was not enough to erase the
damage caused by the Superstorm and by insurance carrier Westport
Insurance Company's failure to cooperate and provide the Debtor
with the necessary funds that the Debtor is entitled to under its
policies.  As a result, the Debtor has been unable to satisfy its
debt service and pay vendors, landlords, and other parties
critical to the operation and viability of its business, which
ultimately caused suppliers to restrict credit lines and reduce
shipments of vital holiday merchandise.

                         First Day Motions

Through this bankruptcy proceeding, the Debtor intends to continue
the restructuring process that it began in late 2011.
Additionally, with the assistance of PriceWaterhouseCoopers and
other advisors, the Debtor intends to consider all strategic
options to maximize the value of its business and properties for
the benefit of its estate and creditors.

To reach that goal, the Debtor requires certain post-petition
debtor-in-possession financing.  The Debtor is seeking approval to
enter into a term sheet with its pre-petition lender, Salus for a
$13.2 million DIP Financing facility.  The funds will be used to
fund this Chapter 11 case and maximize the value of the Debtor's
businesses and properties.  The DIP financing consists of
$10,000,000 senior secured, superpriority revolving credit
facility and a $3,200,000 senior secured, superpriority term loan.

The Debtor is filing -- or has filed -- a number of "first day
motions", including requests to:

  -- pay prepetition wages and benefits of employees;

  -- continue using its existing cash management system and bank
     accounts;

  -- pay prepetition sales and use taxes estimated to total
     $567,000.

  -- maintain its existing customer programs, including payment of
     $1,335,000 of gift cards outstanding;

  -- prohibit utilities form discontinuing service;

  -- pay claims of certain critical vendors;

  -- obtain postpetition financing on a senior secured and
     superpriority basis and use cash collateral;

  -- pay certain prepetition customs duties, brokers fees, and
     shipping and warehousing charges.

The Debtor intends to pay $2 million on an interim basis and up to
a maximum amount of $4 million to critical vendors on a final
basis.

The critical vendors total 21 entities and the prepetition trade
amount to these vendors represent just 25% of the total
prepetition trade obligations.  The Debtor estimates that it owes
critical vendors $382,000 for goods received by the 20 days of the
Petition Date.

The Debtor has also filed a motion to extend for an additional 30
days through and including Feb. 19, 2013, its deadline to file
schedules of assets and liabilities.


BIG SANDY: U.S. Trustee Unable to Form Creditors Committee
----------------------------------------------------------
Richard A. Wieland, United States Trustee for Region 19, has
informed the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado,
that there were too few unsecured creditors who are willing to
serve on an official committee of unsecured creditors in the
Chapter 11 case of Big Sandy Holding Company.

                      About Big Sandy Holding

Founded in 1991, Big Sandy Holding Company is a Colorado
corporation registered as a bank holding company under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Big Sandy is the direct
corporate parent of Mile High Banks, a Colorado state chartered
Bank.

Big Sandy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Colo. Case
No. 12-30138) on Sept. 27, 2012, to recapitalize the Bank.

Bankruptcy Judge Michael E. Romero presides over the case.
Michael J. Pankow, Esq., and Joshua M. Hantman, Esq., at
Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, serve as the Debtor's
counsel.

In its petition, Big Sandy estimated $10 million to $50 million in
assets and debts.  The petition was signed by Dan Allen,
chairman/CEO/president.

Big Sandy has a deal to sell substantially all of its assets --
essentially 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Mile High Banks -- Strategic Growth Bancorp Inc., subject to
higher and better offers.  Strategic is prepared to proceed with a
transaction which would recapitalize the Bank in accordance with
regulatory requirements -- by up to $90 million -- and acquire the
Bank from the Debtor for $5.5 million.


BILLMYPARENTS INC: Incurs $25.7 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2012
---------------------------------------------------------------
BillMyParents, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss
and comprehensive net loss of $25.71 million on $1 million of
revenue for the year ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared with a net
loss and comprehensive net loss of $14.21 million on $104,030 of
revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $5.78
million in total assets, $20.77 million in total liabilities, all
current, $789,569 in redeemable common stock, $8.36 million in
redeemable Series B convertible preferred stock, and a $24.15
million total stockholders' deficiency.

BDO USA, LLP, in La Jolla, California, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has incurred net losses since inception and has an
accumulated deficit at Sept. 30, 2012.

                 Restatement of Quarterly Reports

BillMyParents has amended its quarterly report for the quarters
ended Dec. 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2012, to restate
its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for
those quarters.

On Dec. 13, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors, after
consultation with and upon recommendation from management of the
Company, concluded that its unaudited financial statements for the
said periods cannot be relied upon due to an error related to the
classification of the Company's outstanding unregistered Series B
Preferred Stock, Common Stock and warrants to purchase the
Company's common stock as permanent stockholders' equity rather
than temporary or mezzanine stockholders' equity.  The
Registration Rights Agreement for the unregistered preferred
stock, unregistered common stock and warrants provides for certain
registration rights which do not include adequate penalties if the
Company fails to register these securities by a fixed date.
Consequently, the presumption is that the preferred stock, common
stock and related warrants subject to the registration rights may
be settled in cash.  Based on the presumption of potential cash
settlement, the preferred stock and common stock is classified
outside of equity as temporary equity until the registration is
effective and the warrants are classified as a liability.  As a
result, the unregistered common stock and the unregistered
preferred stock have been reclassified from permanent
stockholders' equity into temporary stockholders' equity.  Changes
in the fair market value of the warrants during the period are not
material.

The amendments had no effects to the net losses and comprehensive
net losses for the said periods.

The Company's amended balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $7.83
million in total assets, $12.08 million in total liabilities, all
current, $789,569 in redeemable common stock, $8.06 million in
redeemable series B convertible preferred stock, and a $13.10
million total stockholders' deficiency.  The Company previously
reported $7.83 million in total assets, $1.47 million in total
liabilities, all current, and $6.36 million in total stockholders'
equity as of June 30, 2012.

BILLMYPARENTS INC: Amends Interim Reports to Correct Error
----------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of BillMyParents, Inc., in conjunction with
discussions held with the Company's independent auditors, amended
and restated the interim financial statements for the periods
ended Dec. 31, 2011, March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, due to the
fact that these interim financial statements can no longer be
relied upon.  The reason for the restatement is due to the
classification of the Company's outstanding unregistered Series B
Preferred Stock, Common Stock and warrants to purchase the
Company's common stock as permanent stockholders' equity rather
than temporary or mezzanine stockholders' equity.

The Registration Rights Agreement for the unregistered preferred
stock, unregistered common stock and warrants provides for certain
registration rights which do not include adequate penalties if the
Company fails to register these securities by a fixed date.
Consequently, the presumption is that the preferred stock, common
stock and related warrants subject to the registration rights may
potentially be settled in cash.  Based on the presumption of
potential cash settlement, the preferred stock and common stock is
required by GAAP to be classified outside of equity as temporary
equity until the registration is effective and the warrants are
classified as a liability.  As a result, on Dec. 26, 2012, the
Company filed amended quarterly reports for the periods ended
Dec. 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2012, in order to
reclassify the common stock from permanent stockholders' equity
into temporary stockholders' equity and are non-cash in nature.

BIOVEST INT'L: $11.7MM Net Loss in FY2012; Defaults on $27MM Debt
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Biovest International, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a
net loss of $11.75 million on $3.88 million of total revenue for
the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of
$15.28 million on $3.88 million of revenue during the prior year.

Biovest International's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$4.73 million in total assets, $44.85 million in total liabilities
and a $40.11 million total stockholders' deficit.

Cherry, Bekaert, & Holland L.L.P., issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2012.

"[T]he Company incurred cumulative net losses since inception of
approximately $173 million and cash used in operating activities
of approximately $8.1 million during the two years ended September
30, 2012, and had a working capital deficiency of approximately
$40.6 million at September 30, 2012.  On November 17, 2012,
approximately $27.7 million of the Company's debt matured and
accordingly the Company is currently in default of these debt
instruments, as well as approximately $4.5 million of debt
instruments with cross-default provisions.  These factors, among
others . . . raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern," the regulatory filing says.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"If, as or when required, the Company is unable to repay,
refinance or restructure its indebtedness under the Company's
secured or unsecured debt instruments, or amend the covenants
contained therein, the lenders and/or holders under such secured
or unsecured debt instruments could elect to terminate their
commitments thereunder cease making further loans and institute
foreclosure proceedings or other actions against the Company's
assets.  Under such circumstances, the Company could be forced
into bankruptcy or liquidation.  In addition, any event of default
or declaration of acceleration under one of the Company's debt
instruments could also result in an event of default under one or
more of the Company's other debt instruments.  The Company may
have to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code from the
Matured Obligations.  This would have a material adverse impact on
the Company's liquidity, financial position and results of
operations."

BLUEGREEN CORP: Files Schedule 13E-3 with SEC
---------------------------------------------
A Schedule 13E-3 was jointly filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commision by:

   (a) Bluegreen Corporation;

   (b) BFC Financial Corporation;

   (c) Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC;

   (d) BXG Florida Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
       Woodbridge ("Merger Sub");

   (e) BBX Capital Corporation;

   (f) Alan B. Levan; and

   (g) John E. Abdo.

On Nov. 14, 2012, Bluegreen entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with BFC, Woodbridge and Merger Sub.  Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Woodbridge will acquire Bluegreen through the
merger of Merger Sub with and into Bluegreen, with Bluegreen
continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Woodbridge.

If the merger is completed, each share of Bluegreen's common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, will be cancelled and converted
automatically into the right to receive $10.00 in cash, without
interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

No consideration will be paid in the Merger in exchange for shares
of Bluegreen common stock owned by BFC, Woodbridge or Merger Sub.
Under the Merger Agreement, each option to acquire shares of
Bluegreen common stock that is outstanding at the effective time
of the Merger, whether vested or unvested, will be canceled in
exchange for the holder's right to receive the excess, if any, of
the $10.00 Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price
per share of the option, without interest and less any applicable
withholding taxes.  No consideration will be paid in respect of
any stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than
$10.00.

In addition, under the Merger Agreement, each Bluegreen restricted
stock award outstanding at the effective time of the Merger,
whether vested or unvested, will convert into the right to
receive, with respect to each share of Bluegreen common stock then
subject to the award, the $10.00 Per Share Merger Consideration,
without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

BBX Capital has entered into a letter agreement with BFC, subject
to the parties executing definitive documentation, to invest
$71.75 million in Woodbridge at the effective time of the merger
in exchange for a 46% equity interest in Woodbridge, with the
proceeds from the investment to be utilized to pay a portion of
the aggregate merger consideration.

BFC, through Woodbridge, currently owns approximately 54% of the
outstanding shares of Bluegreen common stock.  BFC also directly
owns shares of BBX Capital's Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock representing approximately 75% of the total voting
power of that stock and 53% of the total outstanding shares of
such stock.  BFC may be deemed to be controlled by its Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer and President, Alan B. Levan, and its Vice
Chairman, John E. Abdo, who collectively hold shares of BFC's
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing
approximately 72% of the total voting power of such stock.
Messrs. Levan and Abdo also serve as non-executive Chairman and
Vice Chairman, respectively, of Bluegreen.  In addition, Mr. Levan
is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBX Capital, and Mr.
Abdo is Vice Chairman of BBX Capital.

Concurrently with the filing of the Schedule 13E-3, Bluegreen
filed with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A
pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, relating to a special meeting of the shareholders of
Bluegreen.  At the special meeting, the shareholders of Bluegreen
will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger
Agreement.  The approval of the Merger Agreement requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the
outstanding shares of Bluegreen's common stock.  The Merger is
also subject to a number of other closing conditions, including
Woodbridge obtaining the financing necessary to consummate the
Merger.

BLUEGREEN CORP: Renews Timeshare Purchase Facility with BB&T
------------------------------------------------------------
Bluegreen Corporation amended and renewed its timeshare
receivables purchase facility with Branch Banking and Trust
Company.

The BB&T Purchase Facility provides for the financing of the
Company's timeshare receivables at an advance rate of 67.5%
through the revolving advance period ending Dec. 17, 2013, subject
to the terms of the facility, eligible collateral and customary
terms and conditions.  The BB&T Purchase Facility allows for
maximum outstanding borrowings of $40 million and matures 36
months after the revolving advance period has expired, or earlier
as provided under the facility.  The interest rate on the BB&T
Purchase Facility prior to the commencement of the Term-Out Period
will be the LIBOR rate plus 3.5%, but will increase to the LIBOR
rate plus 5.5% during the Term-Out Period.  The LIBOR rate is
subject to a floor of 0.75%.

Additionally, subject to the terms of the facility, Bluegreen will
receive the excess cash flows generated by the receivables sold
until the commencement of the Term-Out Period, at which point all
of the excess cash flow will be paid to BB&T until the outstanding
balance is reduced to zero.

The BB&T Purchase Facility is nonrecourse and is not guaranteed by
Bluegreen.

As of Dec. 24, 2012, the availability under the BB&T Purchase
Facility was $40 million.

BOOMERANG SYSTEMS: Delays Form 10-K for Fiscal 2012 for Audit
-------------------------------------------------------------
Boomerang Systems, Inc., was unable to file its annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012, within the
prescribed period because of a delay in completing the audit for
this period as a result of management requiring additional time to
compile and verify the data required to be included in the report.
The Company expects to file within the extension period.

Headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, Boomerang Systems, Inc.

million total stockholders' deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

In the Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31 2011, the Company said
its operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable it to
service its debt.  If the Company were to fail to make any
required payment under the notes and agreements governing its
indebtedness or fail to comply with the covenants contained in the
notes and agreements, the Company would be in default.  The
Company's debt holders would have the ability to require that the
Company immediately pay all outstanding indebtedness.  If the debt
holders were to require immediate payment, the Company might not
have sufficient assets to satisfy its obligations under the notes
or the Company's other indebtedness.  In that event, the Company
could be forced to seek protection under bankruptcy laws, which
could have a material adverse effect on its existing contracts and
its ability to procure new contracts as well as its ability to
recruit or retain employees.  Accordingly, a default could have a
significant adverse effect on the market value and marketability
of the Company's common stock.

BWAY PARENT: S&P Affirms 'B' Corporate Rating, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its 'B'
corporate credit rating on Atlanta-based BWAY Parent Co. Inc., and
all rated subsidiaries (collectively, BWAY).  The outlook is
stable.

"At the same time we affirmed our 'B' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating on the company's upsized $731 million term loan B.
The '3' recovery rating indicates our expectation of meaningful
(50%-70%) recovery in the event of payment default," S&P said.

"We also affirmed the 'CCC+' issue-level ratings and '6' recovery
ratings on the $205 million in unsecured notes of BWAY Holding Co.
and $335 million in notes of BWAY Parent Co. Inc.  The '6'
recovery rating indicates our expectation of negligible (0%-10%)
recovery in the event of payment default," S&P added.

The company is also increasing the size of its unrated ABL
facility to $200 million from $150 million as part of this
transaction.

"The ratings on BWAY reflect our expectation of highly leveraged
financial measures, the company's very aggressive financial
policies, exposure to volatile resin costs, and key industry
risks, such as weak demand in the housing and industrial end
markets," said credit analyst Henry Fukuchi.

The outlook is stable.  "We believe BWAY's steady profitability
and ability to generate free cash flow should support a gradually
improving financial profile consistent with the ratings.  We could
lower the ratings if operating performance deteriorates modestly
from current levels and the company's FFO-to-total adjusted debt
drops below 10% on an annualized basis with no clear prospects of
recovery.  Such a scenario could result from continued increases
in resin costs or weaker demand trends in key end markets.  In
such a
scenario, EBITDA margins could decrease by 100 basis points or
revenue could decline by about 5% or more from expectations.  A
downgrade is also possible if leverage increases for other
reasons, including shareholder distributions or debt-funded
acquisition activity," S&P said.

"We could consider a modest upgrade if the company can improve its
FFO-to-total adjusted debt ratio to more than 15% consistently and
approach future growth spending and shareholder distributions in a
credit-supportive manner.  This could happen if EBITDA margins
increase about 200 basis points from current levels with at least
10% volume growth.  The company could achieve such a scenario if
it benefits from efficiency initiatives, pricing gains, and easing
raw material cost pressures, along with a cyclical recovery in the
housing market," S&P added.


CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Lynn Swann Appointed to Audit Committee
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Caesars Entertainment Corporation

Caesars Entertainment Corp., formerly Harrah's Entertainment Inc.
-- http://www.caesars.com/-- is one of the world's largest casino
companies, with annual revenue of $4.2 billion, 20 properties on
three continents, more than 25,000 hotel rooms, two million square
feet of casino space and 50,000 employees.  Caesars casino resorts
operate under the Caesars, Bally's, Flamingo, Grand Casinos,
Hilton and Paris brand names.  The Company has its corporate
headquarters in Las Vegas.

Harrah's announced its re-branding to Caesar's on mid-November
2010.

The Company reported a net loss of $666.70 million in 2011, and a
net loss of $823.30 million in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $28.34
billion in total assets, $28.22 billion in total liabilities and
$114.7 million in total Caesars stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 28, 2012, Moody's Investors
Service upgraded Caesars Entertainment Corp's Corporate Family
Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating both to Caa1 from
Caa2.  The upgrade of Caesars' ratings reflects very good
liquidity, an improving operating outlook for gaming in a number
of the company's largest markets that is expected to drive
earnings growth, the completion of a bank amendment that resulted
in the extension of debt maturities to 2018 from 2015, and the
public listing of the company's equity that increases financial
flexibility by providing it with another potential source of
capital.  The upgrade of the SGL rating reflects minimal debt
maturities over the next few years, significant cash balances
(approximately $900 million at December 31, 2011) and revolver
availability that will be more than sufficient to fund the
company's cash interest and capital spending needs.

In the Aug. 17, 2012, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on Las Vegas-based
Caesars Entertainment Corp. and wholly owned subsidiary Caesars
Entertainment Operating Co. Inc. to negative from stable.  "We
affirmed all other ratings on the companies, including our 'B-'
corporate credit rating," S&P said.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 17, 2012, Fitch Ratings affirmed
CEC's long-term issuer default rating at 'CCC'.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in the 2011 annual report that, in July 2010 the
Company entered into a series of agreements providing for (i) the
restructuring of the Company's outstanding indebtedness to Marr
and SF Capital and (ii) the transfer of the Company's interests in
the two Chinese joint ventures, Beijing Marr and Beijing Calypte,
to Kangplus.  Under the Debt Agreement, $6,393,353 in outstanding
indebtedness was agreed to be converted to 152,341,741 shares of
the Company's common stock, and the Company's remaining
indebtedness to Marr, totaling $3,000,000 was cancelled.  In
consideration for that debt restructuring, the Company transferred
its equity interests in Beijing Marr to Kangplus pursuant to the
Equity Transfer Agreement and transferred certain related
technology to Beijing Marr.  The Company has also agreed to
transfer its equity interests in Beijing Calypte to Marr
or a designate of its choosing.  The transactions contemplated by
the Debt Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement are subject
to Chinese government registration of the transfer of the equity
interests.  This registration has now been approved, and the
Shares were issued in March 2012.  Under the debt agreement with
SF Capital, $2,008,259 in outstanding indebtedness was converted
to 47,815,698 shares of the Company's common stock.

Notwithstanding this debt restructuring, the Company's significant
working capital deficit and limited cash resources place a high
degree of doubt on its ability to continue its operations.  In
light of the Company's existing operations and financial
challenges, the Company is exploring strategic and financing
options.  Failure to obtain additional financing will likely cause
the Company to seek bankruptcy protection.

------------------------------------------------------
Castleview, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado a Third Amended Disclosure Statement
explaining the proposed Third Amended Plan of Reorganization dated
Nov. 20, 2012.

According to the Third Amended Disclosure Statement, the Plan
proposes to treat creditors as:

   -- The allowed secured claim of Douglas County Treasurer's
Office ($7,673) will be paid in full on July 1, 2013, with
postpetition interest at the state statutory rate of 12% APR
accruing from the date the taxes would have been due pursuant to
Colorado law.

   -- The secured claim of CV2011, LLC ($3,555,300 plus reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs) will be paid by the Reorganized Debtor
transferring ownership of sufficient amount of the parcel of the
real property securing the claim of the Class 2 creditor and
proportionate share of the SFEs to pay the allowed secured claim
of the Class 2 creditor in full with accrued interest, costs and
fees as provided for in the note and deed of trust.

  -- The Unsecured Creditors's claims ($14,205) will be paid in
full with interest at the current Federal Judgment Interest Rate
60 days following the Effective Date.  Interest will accrue from
the Petition Date.  The source of the funds to pay allowed
unsecured claims plus interest will be from the Debtor's members.

   -- Equitable Interests in the Debtor will be paid the allowed
amount of their respective equitable interests in the Debtor after
all creditor claims and Chapter 11 administrative expenses are
paid in full.  The members will be paid in kind pursuant to the
provisions of the Debtor's Operating Agreement.

The Debtor's members will fund the payments to creditors under the
Plan.

                       About Castleview

Castleview, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Colo. Case
No. 12-23954) on July 2, 2012, with a plan that intends to pay
creditors in full.  The Debtor disclosed $14.53 million in assets
and $3.21 million in liabilities in its schedules.  The Debtor
owns a 252-acre residential development site located in
Southeastern Castle Rock, Colorado, which property includes 245
residential lots.  The property is worth $10.2 million and secures
a $3.21 million debt. The Debtor is also entitled to bond proceeds
from the Castleview Metropolitan District appraised at $6,248,724.

The Debtor has tapped Weinman & Associates, P.C, as bankruptcy
counsel, and Allen & Vellone, P.C as special counsel.

The U.S. Trustee was unable to form an official committee of
unsecured creditors because an insufficient number of persons
holding unsecured claims against the Debtor have expressed
interest in serving on a committee.  The U.S. Trustee reserves the
right to appoint such a committee if interest developed among
the creditors.


CELL THERAPEUTICS: Derivative Suit Pact Preliminarily Approved
--------------------------------------------------------------
A stipulation of settlement entered into as of Nov. 6, 2012,
between Joseph Shackleton, Terry Marbury, Paul Cyrek, Brandon
Bohland, and Lawrence J. Alexander plaintiffs, as plaintiffs, Cell
Therapeutics, Inc., and certain of its current directors, as
defendants, was preliminarily approved by the U.S. District Court
for the Western District of Washington.

The Stipulation relates to the previously-disclosed consolidated
shareholder derivative action litigation, In re Cell Therapeutics,
Inc. Derivative Litigation, Case No. C10-564 MJP, pending in the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.  The
derivative complaints allege that Defendants breached their
fiduciary duties to the Company by making or failing to prevent
the issuance of certain alleged false and misleading statements
related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval
process for PixuvriTM (pixantrone dimaleate).

If the settlement becomes final, among other things, (i) the
claims against the Defendants will be dismissed with prejudice and
released, by which the plaintiffs, the Company and its
predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions and
assigns and each of the Company's shareholders will be forever
barred from asserting against the Defendants any claims alleged by
the derivative plaintiffs or arising from the settlement other
than rights to enforce the terms of the settlement and judgement,
and (ii) a payment by the Company of up to $1.3 million in
attorneys' fees and $75,000 in expenses to plaintiffs' counsel as
determined by the court, which the Company expects to be funded
entirely by its insurance carriers.

Under the terms of the Stipulation, the Company would also be
obligated to implement certain corporate governance measures, to
be adopted by the Company's Board of Directors within 90 days
after the effective date of the settlement, and maintain those
measures for a minimum of four years from that effective date.
The measures include the adoption of a resolution to hold "say on
pay" shareholder votes every year rather than every three years;
non-extension of the deadlines for certain equity-based incentive
awards for directors past 2017; measures relating to the Company's
oversight of its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Corporate
Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics for Senior Officers;
Insider Trading Policy changes; additional whistleblower
procedures; the continued separation of the Chairman of the Board
from the Chief Executive Officer and other corporate governance
measures as set forth in the Stipulation.

The Defendants have denied and continue to deny each and all of
the claims alleged by the plaintiffs in the Derivative Litigation.
Nonetheless, the Defendants have agreed to the Stipulation to
eliminate the uncertainty, distraction, burden and expense of
further litigation.

The proposed settlement is subject to certain conditions and
approvals, including, among other items, the approval of the
settlement by the Board, including the corporate governance
measures, and final court approval.  Details regarding any
proposed settlement will be communicated to stockholders of the
Company as of Nov. 6, 2012, prior to final court approval.  At
this time, there can be no assurance that the conditions to effect
the settlement will be met or that the settlement of the
Derivative Litigation will receive the required court and other
approvals.

A copy of the Stipulation is available at http://is.gd/Pbjnys

                     Settles with Daniel Eramian

Effective as of Nov. 15, 2012, Daniel G. Eramian separated from
employment with the Company as its Executive Vice President,
Corporate Communications.  The Company agreed on Dec. 27, 2012, to
enter into a Settlement Agreement and Full and Final Release of
Claims with Mr. Eramian.

Under the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Eramian will be entitled to
receive total cash severance payments of approximately $567,238.
Of the total payments, approximately $252,238 will be paid in May
2013, and the balance will be paid in 12 monthly installments
following May 2013.  The Company will also pay the premiums to
continue Mr. Eramian's health coverage and life insurance provided
by the Company for up to 18 months following his termination.  In
addition, the Settlement Agreement provides for accelerated
vesting of certain equity awards granted to Mr. Eramian by the
Company that were otherwise unvested such that he became vested in
33,712 shares of Company common stock, and the Company may either
settle a portion of those shares in cash or reacquire a portion of
those shares to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations.
Any rights of Mr. Eramian to other equity awards granted by the
Company, to the extent otherwise unvested, terminated.  The
Settlement Agreement also includes a mutual release of claims by
the parties and certain restrictive covenants by Mr. Eramian in
favor of the Company.

                       About Cell Therapeutics

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Cell Therapeutics, Inc.
(NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) -- http://www.CellTherapeutics.com/-- is
a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing an integrated
portfolio of oncology products aimed at making cancer more
treatable.

Cell Therapeutics reported a net loss attributable to CTI of
US$62.36 million in 2011, compared with a net loss attributable
to CTI of US$82.64 million in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$36.17 million in total assets, $32.60 million in total
liabilities, $13.46 million in common stock purchase warrants, and
a $9.89 million total shareholders' deficit.

                    Going Concern Doubt Raised

The report of Marcum LLP, in San Francisco, Calif., dated
March 8, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion, with an
explanatory paragraph as to the uncertainty regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's available cash and cash equivalents are US$47.1
million as of Dec. 31, 2011.  The Company's total current
liabilities were US$17.8 million as of Dec. 31, 2011.  The
Company does not expect that it will have sufficient cash to fund
its planned operations beyond the second quarter of 2012, which
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, noted that if the
Company receives approval of Pixuvri by the EMA or the FDA, it
would anticipate significant additional commercial expenses
associated with Pixuvri operations.  Accordingly, the Company
will need to raise additional funds and are currently exploring
alternative sources of equity or debt financing.  The Company may
seek to raise that 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, the Company has a limited number
of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance and
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, it 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.

                            About CEDC

Mt. Laurel, New Jersey-based Central European Distribution
Corporation is one of the world's largest vodka producers and
Central and Eastern Europe's largest integrated spirit beverages
business with its primary operations in Poland, Russia and
Hungary.

Ernst & Young Audit sp. z o.o., in Warsaw, Poland, expressed
substantial doubt about Central European's ability to continue as
a going concern, following the Company's results for the fiscal
year ended Dec. 31, 2011.  The independent auditors noted that
certain of the Company's credit and factoring facilities are
coming due in 2012 and will need to be renewed to manage its
working capital needs.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$1.98 billion in total assets, $1.73 billion in total liabilities,
$29.44 million in temporary equity, and $210.78 million in total
stockholders' equity.

                             Liquidity

The Company's Convertible Senior Notes are due on March 15, 2013.
The Company has said in regulatory filings its current cash on
hand, estimated cash from operations and available credit
facilities, will not be sufficient to make the repayment of
principal on the Convertible Notes and, unless a transaction with
Russian Standard Corporation is completed, the Company may default
on them.  The Company's cash flow forecasts include the assumption
that certain credit and factoring facilities coming due in 2012
would be renewed to manage working capital needs.  Moreover, the
Company had a net loss and significant impairment charges in 2011
and current liabilities exceed current assets at June 30, 2012.
These conditions, the Company has said, raised substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 10, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services kept on CreditWatch with negative implications its 'CCC+'
long-term corporate credit rating on U.S.-based Central European
Distribution Corp. (CEDC), the parent company of Poland-based
vodka manufacturer CEDC International sp. z o.o.

"The CreditWatch status reflects our view that uncertainties
remain related to CEDC's ongoing accounting review and that
CEDC's liquidity could further and substantially weaken if there
was a breach of covenants which could lead to the acceleration of
the payment of the 2016 notes, upon receipt of a written notice
of 25% or more of the noteholders," S&P said.

In the Oct. 9, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
has downgraded the corporate family rating (CFR) and probability
of default rating (PDR) of Central European Distribution
Corporation (CEDC) to Caa2 from Caa1.

"The downgrade reflects delays in CEDC securing adequate
financing to repay its US$310 million of convertible notes due
March 2013 which are increasing Moody's concerns that the
definitive agreement for a strategic alliance between CEDC and
Russian Standard Corporation (Russian Standard) might not
conclude at the current terms," says Paolo Leschiutta, a Moody's
Vice President - Senior Credit Officer and lead analyst for CEDC.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"We have incurred a net loss of $6.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2012, and $14.0 million for the year ended Dec. 31,
2011, and have an accumulated deficit of $63.2 million as of
June 30, 2012.  Based on our operating plan, our existing working
capital will not be sufficient to meet the cash requirements to
fund our planned operating expenses, capital expenditures and
working capital requirements through Dec. 31, 2012, without
additional sources of cash.

"Our plan to address the shortfall of working capital is to
generate additional financing through a combination of sale of our
equity securities, additional funding from our new short-term
convertible debt financings, incremental product sales into new
markets with advance payment terms and collection of outstanding
past due receivables.  We are confident that we will be able to
deliver on our plans, however, there are no assurances that we
will be able to obtain any sources of financing on acceptable
terms, or at all.

"If we cannot obtain sufficient additional financing in the short-
term, we may be forced to curtail or cease operations or file for
bankruptcy," the Company said in its quarterly report for the
period ended June 30, 2012.


CIVIC PARTNERS: Iowa Court Rules on Bank's Summary Judgment Bid
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Thad J. Collins granted, in part, and denied, in
part, First National Bank's Motion for Summary Judgment on Civic
Partners Sioux City LLC's counterclaim.

On Dec. 7, 2010, First National Bank filed a Petition for Money
Judgment, Foreclosure of Real Estate Mortgage and Foreclosure of
Security Agreement against Civic in the Iowa District Court for
Woodbury County (No. EQCV143628).  On Jan. 5, 2011, Civic filed an
answer and a counterclaim for tortious interference with an
existing contract.  Civic also claims to have filed a counterclaim
for tortious interference with a prospective contract.

After filing for Chapter 11 in April 2011, Civic removed the
foreclosure action by the Bank to the Bankruptcy Court.

On Jan. 10, 2012, the Bank filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on
Civic's counterclaim.  Civic has resisted the Bank's Motion for
Summary Judgment.

Civic is the developer and owner of an entertainment and shopping
complex in Sioux City, Iowa.  The complex was to be an anchor in
the redevelopment of an area in Sioux City known as the Historic
4th Street Area. Civic received its primary financing for the
facility from the Bank, which holds a first security interest in
the structure and some of the equipment.

The primary tenant of the complex is a 14-screen movie theater
named Main Street Theatres. Only one of the other spaces in the
facility is occupied by a specialty shop.  Other banks -- Liberty
National Bank and Cass County Bank -- and the Small Business
Administration also claim security interests in the property and
equipment.

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, Main Street's theater was
not as successful as originally planned, and Main Street fell
behind on the rent it owed to Civic. By 2009, Civic claimed Main
Street owed a multi-million dollar deficiency. Main Street had
several arguments against Civic for offsets against some or all of
that rent. Without Main Street's rent, Civic also fell behind on
its payments to First National Bank. Civic has never made any
payments to the City.

In August 2009, the four principal parties, Civic, Main Street,
First National Bank, and the City began mediation to attempt to
find a solution which worked for all parties. Civic, Main Street,
and First National Bank reached a tentative agreement which they
presented to the City.  The proposed mediation agreement outlined
a global restructuring of the agreements and arrangements related
to the project.  Under the proposed mediation agreement, Civic
would forgive Main Street's deficiency on the rent and lower Main
Street's monthly payments.  Main Street also agreed to release its
claims and made a $200,000 restructuring payment to Civic. Civic
was also to receive a lower interest rate and other reductions
from its lenders.  The proposed agreement was subject to the
City's ratification by a vote of the Sioux City City Council. The
Sioux City City Council ultimately did not approve the agreement.

In its Petition for Money Judgment, the Bank named several other
junior interest holders as creditors in the foreclosure portion of
its case.

In its counterclaims, Civic contends the Bank tortiously
interfered with its existing relationship with Main Street.  Civic
contends the Bank before foreclosure had secretly negotiated a
deal with Main Street to sell the building to Main Street after it
foreclosed.  Civic claims the Bank offered to finance the purchase
such that Main Street's monthly payments would be less than those
it owed Civic under its lease. Civic argues that "deal" cut Civic
out completely and made it impossible for Civic to negotiate on
new rent or back rent with Main Street.  Civic asserts this
tortious interference from the Bank stopped Main Street from
dealing with Civic under the existing lease arrangement -- because
Main Street already had a deal with the Bank.

Civic also appears to also assert a claim that the Bank tortiously
interfered with its prospective business relationship with the
City.  Civic argues that the Bank's motivations in its discussions
with the City after the tentative mediation agreement were
improper. Civic contends that the Bank discouraged the City from
adopting the proposed mediation agreement involving Civic in favor
of the Bank's preferred solution which cut Civic out. Civic
contends the Bank's motivations were improper and as such
constituted an interference with its prospective relationship with
the City.  This claim does not appear specifically in the answer
and counterclaim.

In its Motion for Summary Judgment, the Bank maintains that any
discussions or negotiations it had with Main Street do not qualify
as actionable improper interference.  The Bank also argues that
its discussions and/or negotiations with Main Street were fully
authorized under the broad language in Civic's assignment of rents
to the Bank.  Finally, the Bank suggests that as it was properly
seeking to protect its own financial interests, this behavior was
justified or privileged, and therefore could not constitute
tortious interference.

The Bank does not appear to recognize that Civic made a
counterclaim with regard to tortious interference with its
prospective relationship with the City. Nevertheless, the Bank
suggests that Civic has failed to support any of its claim with
any evidence.

Civic disagrees with the Bank.  Civic does acknowledge the Bank
was authorized in Civic's assignment of rents to collect rents
directly from Main Street, to communicate with Main Street, and to
modify the lease.  Civic argues, however, the scope of the Bank's
discussions -- particularly those for future plans not involving
Civic -- exceeded the Bank's authorization.  Civic argues the
Bank's unauthorized discussions were an improper interference.
Civic contends it has a claim against the Bank related to
interferences with the Debtor's prospective relationship with the
City.

According to Judge Collins, the Bank's Motion is denied on Civic's
counterclaim alleging the Bank tortiously interfered with Civic's
existing contract with Main Street.  The Motion is granted on
Civic's purported counterclaim alleging the Bank tortiously
interfered with Civic's prospective contractual relationship with
the City.  The Judge said there is no genuine issue of material
fact as to the element of intent to injure or destroy.

First National Bank has twice sought dismissal of the case.  The
City and Main Street Theatres have joined in the request.  The
Debtor filed a plan of reorganization on Nov. 18, 2011, and an
amended plan on May 17, 2012.

The cases before the Court are, FIRST NATIONAL BANK, Plaintiff, v.
CIVIC PARTNERS SIOUX CITY, LLC, et al, Defendants; and CIVIC
PARTNERS SIOUX CITY, LLC, Counter-Claimant, v. FIRST NATIONAL
BANK, Counter-Defendant, Adv. Proc. No. 11-09046 (Bankr. N.D.
Iowa).  A copy of the Court's Jan. 3, 2013 ruling is available at

Civic Partners Sioux City, LLC, based in Huntington Beach,
California, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Iowa Case
No. 11-00829) on April 14, 2011.  A. Frank Baron, Esq., at Baron,
Sar, Goodwin, Gill & Lohr, serves as the Debtor's counsel.  In its
petition, the Debtor estimated $1 million to $10 million in assets
and debts.  The petition was signed by Steven P. Semingson,
managing member.


CIVIC PARTNERS: Court Affirms Ruling on Main Street Theaters Lease
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Thad J. Collins denied the motion of Civic
Partners Sioux City, LLC, for reconsideration of the Court's
previous (1) Order Denying Motion to Establish that the Main
Street Lease is Revoked, Not "Unexpired" and (2) Order Granting
Motion for Order Regarding Status of Amended and Restated Lease
filed by Main Street Theaters.  Main Street resisted the Motion to
Reconsider.

The Debtor asks the Court to reconsider an oral, expedited ruling
it made in July 2012.  That ruling determined which of two leases
-- an original lease or an amended lease -- governed the
relationship of the parties.

The Debtor argued it terminated the amended lease before
bankruptcy, and that the termination properly reinstated the
original lease.  Main Street argued the Debtor failed to properly
terminate the amended lease or did not have authority to do so.
Main Street asserted the amended lease remains in effect.

The Court heard the issue -- which would otherwise be a
confirmation issue -- out of order on an expedited basis at the
request of the parties.  The Court ruled that the amended lease
governed because the Debtor did not properly terminate the lease.
The Court ruled the termination paragraph of the amended lease was
for all intents and purposes a provision allowing rescission, and
the Debtor did not properly rescind.  In particular, the Court
held the Debtor did not refund a $200,000 payment Main Street made
to get the amended lease agreement.  The Court also made an
alternative ruling that the Debtor did not have proper authority
to terminate the lease without its lender's consent -- which it
did not have.

The Debtor moved for reconsideration, arguing the Court misapplied
Iowa law on rescission by not allowing the Debtor a credit or
offset against the $200,000 for the benefits it provided to Main
Street under the amended lease.  The Debtor also argued it
discovered new facts indicating there was no need for an expedited
resolution of the issue and that the Court should vacate its
ruling and set the matter over for confirmation.  The Debtor also
asserts that the Court failed to address several of the Debtor's
alternative arguments including reformation, equitable estoppel,
and equitable fraud.

Main Street argued the Court correctly determined the matter in
its ruling and there is no basis for reconsideration.

Judge Collins ruled that it did not misapply Iowa law on
rescission, the newly discovered facts are irrelevant, and the
alternative arguments are inapplicable to this issue and/or are
reserved for the confirmation hearing.

CLARE OAKS: Exits Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
--------------------------------------------------
Clare Oaks, a continuing care retirement community in Bartlett,
Ill., on Jan. 7 said it emerged from a year-long Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection on Dec. 31, 2012.  The announcement was made
by Michael D. Hovde, Jr., president of the Board of Directors for
the not-for-profit organization, and was agreed to by its
creditors and bondholders.

Clare Oaks voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 protection in December
2011, after failing to reach an agreement with its lenders about
restructuring its debt.  Clare Oaks received approval from the
Northern Illinois bankruptcy court for its new financial plan in
Nov. 2012 and was issued new bonds from the Illinois Finance
Authority on Dec. 20, 2012.  New bonds significantly lower the
community's debt and corresponding interest rates.

Mr. Hovde said occupancy rates remained stable during the
reorganization period and Clare Oaks continued to accept new
independent living residents, along with patients into its
assisted living and nursing care communities.  Additionally, its
skilled nursing care center recently received a coveted Medicare
four-star rating for outstanding health inspections, staffing and
quality measures.

"Our new financing structure provides long-term stability plus
releases funds to make capital improvements so that our community
stays a top choice for those selecting senior living options from
independent to assisted living and skilled nursing care," Mr.
Hovde said.

Since its opening in 2007, Clare Oaks has been dedicated to
providing superior care built on the foundation of mind, body and
spirit inspired by its founder the Sisters of St. Joseph of the
Third Order of St. Francis.  Life Care Services, LLC, established
in 1971 and currently serving 103 retirement communities across
the country, continues in its role as the management company for
Clare Oaks.

On Nov. 15, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Third Amended
Plan of Reorganization for Clare Oaks.  The Plan dated Sept. 13,
2012, was filed by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Master Trustee and Sovereign Bank, N.A., as plan sponsors.  Terms
of the Plan were reported in prior editions of the Troubled
Company Reporter.

No other plans were filed for the Debtor.

Earlier in the case, the Debtor attempted to sell its Clare Oaks
Campus to ER Propco Co, LLC aka Evergreen for $16 million, subject
to higher and better offers.  Bloomberg News reported the planned
sale was scrapped as the bondholders found it insufficient since
it would have generated only $10 million for them after paying
expenses and the loan financing the bankruptcy.  The bondholders
submitted their own plan.  Bloomberg said the bondholders
sponsoring the plan are owed roughly $95.8 million.

According to Bloomberg, the secured bondholders' plan sets aside
some cash that could pay as much as 2.7% on $1.9 million in
unsecured debt.  For a projected 45% recovery, bondholders will
receive $40 million in new second-lien bonds that will pay
interest only at 4% for 15 years.  The Bloomberg report said
emergence from Chapter 11 will be financed by a $12 million first-
lien secured loan provided by some of the bondholders.


CLEAR CHANNEL: Amends 2008 Credit Agreement With Citibank
---------------------------------------------------------
Clear Channel Communications, Inc., entered into a Restatement
Agreement to amend and restate the Credit Agreement, dated as of
May 13, 2008, with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent.

On Dec. 24, 2012, upon the satisfaction of all conditions set
forth in the Amendment, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
became effective.

The amount from time to time available under the facility will not
exceed the greater of (i) $535,000,000 or (ii) borrowing base,
which equals 90% of the eligible accounts receivable of the
Company and the subsidiary borrowers thereunder, subject to
customary reserves and eligibility criteria.  As of Dec. 24, 2012,
the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

Borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at
a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the
Company's option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference
to the highest of (a) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., and (b)
the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (2) a Eurocurrency rate
determined by reference to the rate (adjusted for statutory
reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities) for Eurodollar
deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing.  The
initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Amended ABL
Credit Agreement is 1.75% with respect to Eurocurrency borrowings
and 0.75% with respect to base-rate borrowings.  The applicable
margin for borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement
ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% for Eurocurrency borrowings and from
0.50% to 1.00% for base-rate borrowings, depending on average
excess availability under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement during
the prior fiscal quarter.

Borrowings under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement will mature, and
lending commitments thereunder will terminate, on the fifth
anniversary of the effectiveness of the Amended ABL Credit
Agreement.

entertainment and information services for local communities and
premier opportunities for advertisers.  The Company's businesses
include radio and outdoor displays.

Clear Channel reported a net loss of $302.09 million on $6.16
billion of revenue in 2011, compared with a net loss of $479.08
million on $5.86 billion of revenue in 2010.  The Company had a
net loss of $4.03 billion on $5.55 billion of revenue in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$16.45 billion in total assets, $24.31 billion in total
liabilities, and a $7.86 billion total shareholders deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $20.7 billion of total
indebtedness outstanding.

The Company said in its quarterly report for the period ended
March 31, 2012, that its ability to restructure or refinance the
debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and the
Company's financial condition at that time.  Any refinancing of
the Company's debt could be at higher interest rates and increase
debt service obligations and may require the Company and its
subsidiaries to comply with more onerous covenants, which could
further restrict the Company's business operations.  The terms of
existing or future debt instruments may restrict the Company from
adopting some of these alternatives.  These alternative measures
may not be successful and may not permit the Company or its
subsidiaries to meet scheduled debt service obligations.  If the
Company and its subsidiaries cannot make scheduled payments on
indebtedness, the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, will
be in default under one or more of the debt agreements and, as a
result the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

                           *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter said on Feb. 10, 2012, Fitch Ratings
has affirmed the 'CCC' Issuer Default Rating of Clear Channel
Communications, Inc., and the 'B' IDR of Clear Channel Worldwide
Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Clear
Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., Clear Channel's 89% owned outdoor
advertising subsidiary.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Fitch's concerns center on the company's highly leveraged capital
structure, with significant maturities in 2014 and 2016; the
considerable and growing interest burden that pressures free cash
flow; technological threats and secular pressures in radio
broadcasting; and the company's exposure to cyclical advertising
revenue.  The ratings are supported by the company's leading
position in both the outdoor and radio industries, as well as the
positive fundamentals and digital opportunities in the outdoor
advertising space.


COMMUNITY FINANCIAL: Closes $24MM Private Placement Offering

Community Financial Shares, Inc., the parent company of Community

capital by issuing up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock in a

possible.  In the rights offering, the Company will grant each of
its existing shareholders an opportunity to purchase shares of
common stock at $1.00 per share, the same price as the conversion
price of the preferred shares issued to investors in connection
with the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The rights will be
distributed to shareholders of record as of Dec. 20, 2012.  The
rights offering will commence upon the registration statement for

COMPREHENSIVE CARE: Contract with Major Client Expires
------------------------------------------------------
Comprehensive Care Corporation's contract with its client MMM
Healthcare, Inc., and its corporate affiliate PMC Medicare Choice,
Inc. expired, as scheduled, on Dec. 31, 2012.  MMM/PMC decided to
manage internally the services that the Company was providing.

This contract accounted for 79.1%, or $41.8 million, of the
Company's revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012.  As a
result of this event and pursuant to requirements under generally
accepted accounting principles, management performed a review of
goodwill recorded on the Company's balance sheet.  The review was
completed on Dec. 31, 2012, and determined it was appropriate to
write-off goodwill.  Consequently, effective Dec. 31, 2012,
management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $12.2 million
to fully remove goodwill from the Company's balance sheet.
Management does not presently believe the impairment charge will
result in material future cash expenditures.

CONFECTIONERS FINANCE: Court Dismisses Involuntary Bankr. Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Charles G. Case II of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona has dismissed the involuntary bankruptcy of
Confectioners Finance LLC.

The Court has been informed that the petitioning creditors and the
Debtor want the case to be dismissed.

Matt Doney, Bill Collamer, and Shawn Riley, appearing pro se,
submitted an involuntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petition for
Confectioners Finance, LLC (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 11-06576) on
March 15, 2011 in Phoenix.


CONSOLIDATED TRANSPORT: Wants Until April 1 to File Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Consolidated Transport Systems, Inc., et al., filed a motion
asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Indiana to extend the exclusive periods to file a plan and to
solicit acceptances thereof until April 1, 2013, and May 31, 2013,
respectively.

Absent an extension, Consolidated Transport at present has the
exclusive right to file a plan through Dec. 14, 2012, and to
solicit votes in favor of such plan through Feb. 12, 2013.  Tandem
Transport Corp, Transport Investment Corporation and Tandem
Eastern, Inc., have plan exclusivity through Dec. 31, 2012, and
solicitation exclusivity through Feb. 27, 2013.

In addition, on Aug. 17, 2012, the Court entered an order in the
Consolidated Transport case establishing a plan deadline of
Jan. 22, 2013 (Docket No. 11).  On Sept. 4, 2012, the Court
entered orders in the Tandem Transport, Transport Investment and
Tandem Eastern cases establishing plan deadlines of Jan. 28, 2013.

According to papers filed with the Court, the Debtors have been
been actively pursuing their restructuring since the cases were
commenced.  Because of the complexity of the Debtors' operations
and restructuring requirement, the Debtors relate that they cannot
propose a comprehensive plan of reorganization at this stage of
the cases.  In addition, the Debtors need time to demonstrate
their ability to perform pursuant to their budget once all
adequate protection payments have commenced in order to solicit
financing offers.  Finally, according to the Debtors, it is nearly
impossible for them to submit plans on staggered schedules given
the interrelation of their operations.

                   About Consolidated Transport,
                      Tandem Transport et al.

Michigan City, Indiana-based trucking company Consolidated
Transport Systems, Inc., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D.
Ind. Case No. 12-32940) on Aug. 16, 2012.  Walter G & Carolyn Bay
owns 87.3% of the privately held Debtor.

Tandem Transport Corp., and two affiliates Transport Investment
Corporation, and Tandem Eastern, Inc., sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. N.D. Ind. Case Nos. 12-33135 to 12-33137) on
Aug. 31, 2012.

The Companies and their predecessors have provided for-hire
freight services throughout the United States since 1945.  The
largest portion (75%) of the Companies' business consists of
hauling building materials, with the balance consisting of
transporting steel (20%) and other miscellaneous freight such as
stone, salt, and machinery (5%).  The bulk of the Companies' loads
are received and delivered east of the Mississippi River, although
they have general commodities authority for the lower 48 states.
The Companies have intrastate authority for the states of Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina,
Ohio, Tennessee and Texas.

The Companies operate as a combined enterprise.  Consolidated owns
the fleet of roughly 275 tractors and 330 trailers.  It also
employs office staff of 66 employees.  The corporate headquarters
is located in Michigan City, Indiana while their executive office
is located in St. Louis, Michigan.  Transport is the operating
company which provides logistics to customers and also brokers
freight.  Eastern employs 246 drivers, while Investment employs 10
mechanics.

Consolidated initiated its chapter 11 proceeding to prevent any
actions by equipment lenders such as repossession of equipment
that would threaten the Companies' operations and viability while
they restructure their respective operations.  Transport,
Investment and Eastern filed their chapter 11 proceedings to give
them the necessary breathing room provided by the Bankruptcy Code,
as well as a single forum to allow them to effectively restructure
their operations.

Consolidated and Tandem each estimated $10 million to $50 million
in assets and liabilities.  Transport Investment estimated less
than $50,000 in assets and up to $50 million in liabilities.  Two
other entities that filed are Transport Investment Corporation and
Tandem Eastern, Inc.

Judge Harry C. Dees, Jr. presides over the cases.  Jeffrey J.
Graham, Esq., and Jerald I. Ancel, Esq., at Taft Stettinius &
Hollister LLP, in Indianapolis, Indiana, serve as the Debtors'
counsel.  The petition was signed by Jeffrey T. Gross, president.


COUNTRYWIDE FIN'L: BofA Reaches $10B Settlement with Fannie Mae
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bank of America Corp. agreed to settle certain claims with Fannie
Mae surrounding almost all of the mortgage loans originated by
Countrywide Financial Corp and Bank of America, the American
Bankruptcy Institute reported.

Based in Calabasas, California, Countrywide Financial Corporation
(NYSE: CFC) -- http://www.countrywide.com/-- originated,
purchased, securitized, sold, and serviced residential and
commercial loans.

In mid-2008, Bank of America completed its purchase of Countrywide
for $2.5 billion.  The mortgage lender was originally priced at $4
billion, but the purchase price eventually was whittled down to
$2.5 billion based on BofA's stock prices that fell over 40% since
the time it agreed to buy the ailing lender.


CPI CORP: Incurs $20.2 Million Net Loss in Nov. 10 Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------
CPI Corp. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss of $20.20
million on $69.50 million of net sales for the 16 weeks ended
Nov. 10, 2012, compared with a net loss of $7.24 million on $94.55
million of net sales for the 16 weeks ended Nov. 12, 2011.

For the 40 weeks ended Nov. 10, 2012, the Company reported a net
loss of $60.13 million on $192.74 million of net sales, compared
with a net loss of $12.88 million on $254.02 million of net sales
for the 40 weeks ended Nov. 12, 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at Nov. 10, 2012, showed $56.19
million in total assets, $174.84 million in total liabilities and
a $118.64 million total stockholders' deficit.

As of Nov. 10, 2012, the Company was not in compliance with
certain provisions of its Credit Agreement, as amended, including
the Minimum Period Cumulative EBITDAR covenant and certain studio
closure and lease abandonment provisions.  Since that time, the
Company has also fallen out of compliance with several additional
covenants and such noncompliance exists as of Dec. 31, 2012.  The
Company is currently negotiating a forbearance agreement with the
lenders to, among other items, delay them from exercising their
rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement until mid-January.
There can be no assurances that the lenders will grant such
waivers or amendments on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"If sales trends do not improve, our available liquidity from cash
flows from operations will be materially adversely affected.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to improve cash
flows from operations, or that we will be able to comply with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended.  Currently, the Company
does not have sufficient resources to repay amounts as they become
due under the Credit Agreement.  If we are unable to address our
liquidity shortfall or secure a short-term covenant compliance
waiver, then our business and operating results would be
materially adversely affected, and the Company may be forced into
an orderly liquidation or bankruptcy.  If we are unable to obtain
other adequate financing, our existing assets are not sufficient
to repay our debts in full."

CROWN AMERICAS: Fitch Rates $800MM Senior Notes Issuance 'BB+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to Crown Americas, LLC's
$800 million senior notes offering due 2023. The Issuer Default
Rating (IDR) for Crown Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries
including CA and Crown European Holdings, SA is 'BB+'. The Rating
Outlook is Stable.

The net proceeds of the proposed offering will be mainly used to
redeem CA's outstanding $400 million senior notes due 2017 and
prepay $300 million of term loans. In addition proceeds will be
used to pay associated debt redemption premiums, for payment of
related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.

Support for Crown's ratings is due to the stable cash flows
associated with its contractual commitments, strong market share
and cost pass-through despite the current weakening global
economic environment. Crown's geographical diversification across
both mature and emerging markets with a diverse customer mix
results in a balanced revenue stream that should lend greater
stability through economic cycles. Fitch currently expects cash
generation to increase due to past investments in developing
market regions.

Increased beverage can volume demand should continue across the
majority of Crown's regions. This should offset volume weakness in
European aerosol and specialty packaging and lower U.S. beverage
can demand due to promotional related activity that remains below
expectations. Supply and demand characteristics should remain firm
in Asia with 3.6 billion of capacity expansions expected in 2013
after adding more than 8 billion in capacity the previous two
years. However, Crown has pulled back on some projects, reflecting
lower demand growth. Past capacity rationalizations and selective-
mix realignments by the can industry in its mature markets also
provides pricing stability.

Crown's liquidity is very good and includes its sustainable free
cash flow (FCF) generation, cash and availability under its
revolving facility and securitization programs. At the end of
third quarter 2012, Crown had approximately $1 billion in
liquidity primarily from the $720 million of availability on its
$1.2 billion secured credit facilities that will mature in June
2015. In 2012, Fitch estimates FCF (less minority distributions)
should be approximately $250 million. In 2013, Fitch expects
significant growth in FCF to over $400 million due to several
factors. These include lower growth-related capital going forward,
expectations for completed restructuring projects, lower pension
contributions, and ramp-up in productivity related to the organic
capacity expansions. Crown has indicated initial capital spending
estimates of $225 million for 2013 compared to spending
expectations of $350 million in 2012 and $401 million in capital
spending for 2011.

Crown's near- to medium-term maturities are relatively modest
(under $150 million) during the next three years and are primarily
related to term loan amortization. Amortization payments for the
approximately $900 million in term loan facilities during the next
three years are 5%, 10% and 15%. The term loans mature in June
2016. The next significant maturity for Crown's unsecured notes is
Euro 500 million due in 2018. Crown also has significant cushion
under its present covenants.

Crown has considerable ability to move cash through various
mechanisms to fund cash requirements in the U.S. Cash at the end
of the third quarter 2012 was $240 million. $215 million of the
cash was located outside of the U.S., and more than half of that
cash was held by foreign subsidiaries for which earnings are
considered indefinitely reinvested. At Sept. 30, 2012, Crown has
used the majority of capacity ($190 million) on its $200 million
North American securitization facility that matures in March 2013.

The majority of Crown's excess cash is targeted for share
repurchase activity since Crown is within company leverage
targets. Expectations are for Crown to pace share repurchases to
the level of free cash flow. Crown's board of directors has
authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $800 million
through the end of 2014. Crown also pays out approximately $80 to
$85 million in minority distributions but does not have a
dividend. Fitch does not expect any significant minority interest
acquisitions given Crown's past focus.

Leverage at the end of the third quarter of 2012 was approximately
3.6 times (x). Fitch views the top end of the expected leverage
range for the rating below the low to mid 3x range. Credit
facility revolver borrowings are higher due to seasonality.
Consequently Fitch expects leverage will moderate going forward
from reduced revolver borrowings, term loan repayments and
increased cash flow generation.

Credit risks which Fitch believes are manageable include the
increase in revenue exposure to more volatile, higher-growth
emerging markets, exposure to weather and crop disturbances, macro
events outside the control of the company, the asbestos liability
and pension deficit. In late 2011, Crown took steps to address its
growing pension deficit in the U.S. with funding from proceeds of
an add-on $350 million term loan. The GAAP funding levels at the
end of 2011 for the U.S. and non-U.S plans were 78% and 89% on
benefit obligations of $1.5 billion and $3.3 billion respectively.

What Could Trigger A Rating Action

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to negative rating include:

   -- Crown adopting more aggressive financial policies or
      operating performance deterioration resulting in material
      erosion to Crown's credit profile particularly pushing
      sustained leverage greater than 3.5x;

   -- Considerable increase in asbestos liability;

   -- Significant change in operating trends across the emerging
      market regions;

   -- Macro events outside the company's control;

   -- Significantly reduced free cash flow prospects.

Positive: Crown would need to change its current financial
policies. In particular, this would require the company to commit
to a reduced, more conservative financial leverage policy in the
lower 2x range and increased free cash generation relative to
adjusted debt. As a result, Fitch's sensitivities do not currently
anticipate developments with a material likelihood, individually
or collectively, of leading to a rating upgrade.


CROWN AMERICAS: S&P Assigns 'BB' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'BB'
senior unsecured debt rating and '5' recovery rating to the 4.5%
senior unsecured notes due 2023 to be issued jointly by Crown
Americas LLC and Crown Americas Capital Corp. IV, wholly
owned subsidiaries of Crown Holdings Inc.  The issue rating is one
notch below the 'BB+' corporate credit rating.  The '5' recovery
rating indicates our expectation of modest (10%-30%) recovery in
the event of a payment default.

"At the same time, based on our updated recovery analysis, we
raised our senior secured debt rating by one notch to 'BBB' (two
notches above the corporate credit rating on Crown Holdings) from
'BBB-' and revised the senior secured recovery rating to '1' from
'2'.  The '1' recovery rating indicates prospects for very high
(90%-100%) recovery in the event of a payment default," S&P said.

"All our other ratings on Crown and its subsidiaries remain
unchanged.  For the complete recovery analysis, see our recovery
report on Crown to be published as soon as possible following this
report on RatingsDirect on the Global Credit Portal," S&P added.

"The company plans to use proceeds of the notes offering to redeem
$400 million of senior unsecured notes due 2017 and repay
$300 million of senior secured term loans, and for transaction-
related costs and general corporate purposes," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Liley Mehta.

The ratings reflect Crown's "satisfactory" business risk profile
as a leading global can manufacturer and its "significant"
financial risk profile.  We expect the key funds from operations
to total debt ratio to remain at about 20%, which we consider
appropriate for the rating.  For the entire corporate credit
rating rationale, see our summary analysis on Crown published Dec.
10,
2012 on RatingsDirect.

CRYOPORT INC: Tapped by Pfizer to Manage Shipments of Vaccines
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cryoport, Inc., was engaged by Pfizer, Inc., to manage all
domestic and international frozen shipments of their primary
animal vaccines.  Cryoport will provide on-site logistics
personnel and its logistics management platform, the CryoportalTM
to manage shipments from Pfizer's manufacturing site in the United
States to its domestic customers as well as to its international
distribution centers.

As part of its logistics management services, Cryoport will
analyze shipping data and processes to streamline logistics,
ensuring on-time delivery and the best uses of resources.
Initially, Cryoport will manage Pfizer's total fleet of shippers
used for this purpose, including liquid nitrogen shippers and over
time will systematically phase-in its patented Cryoport Express
Shippers in conjunction with its on-site logistics team and
integrated Cryoportal software.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

                           About Cryoport

Lake Forest, Calif.-based CryoPort, Inc. (OTC BB: CYRX) provides
comprehensive solutions for frozen cold chain logistics, primarily
in the life science industries.  Its solutions afford new and
reliable alternatives to currently existing products and services
utilized for bio-pharmaceuticals and biologics, including in-vitro
fertilization, cell lines, vaccines, tissue and other commodities
requiring a reliable frozen solution.

As reported in the TCR on June 29, 2012, KMJ Corbin & Company LLP,
in Costa Mesa, California, expressed substantial doubt about
CryoPort's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has incurred recurring
operating losses and has had negative cash flows from operations
since inception.  "Although the Company has working capital of
$4,024,120 and cash & cash equivalents of $4,617,535 at March 31,
2012, management has estimated that cash on hand, which include
proceeds from the offering received in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2012, will only be sufficient to allow the Company to
continue its operations only into the fourth quarter of fiscal
2013.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern."

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $2.8 million
in total assets, $2.0 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $776,493.


CUMULUS MEDIA: Outstanding Amount Under 2011 Loan Hiked to $1.3BB
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cumulus Media Inc. entered into an amendment and restatement of
its First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of Sept. 16, 2011.
Pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement, the terms and
conditions contained in the Original Agreement remained
substantially unchanged, except as follows:

   (i) the amount outstanding thereunder was increased to $1.325
       billion;

  (ii) the margin for LIBOR -based borrowings was reduced from
       4.5% to 3.5% and for Base Rate -based borrowings was
       reduced from 3.5% to 2.5%; and

(iii) the LIBOR floor for LIBOR-based borrowings was reduced from
       1.25% to 1.0%.

At Dec. 20, 2012, after giving effect to the Amendment and
Restatement, borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan bore
interest at 4.5% per annum.  There were no outstanding borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility at Dec. 20, 2012.

The Amendment and Restatement consists of a $1.325 billion first
lien term loan facility maturing in September 2018 and a $300
million revolving credit facility, maturing in September 2016.
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $30 million of
availability may be drawn in the form of letters of credit and up
to $30 million is available for swingline borrowings.

                        About Cumulus Media

Founded in 1998, Atlanta, Georgia-based Cumulus Media Inc.
(NASDAQ: CMLS) -- http://www.cumulus.com/-- is the second largest
operator of radio stations, currently serving 110 metro markets
with more than 525 stations.  In the third quarter of 2011,
Cumulus Media purchased Citadel Broadcasting, adding more than 200
stations and increasing its reach in 7 of the Top 10 US metros.
Cumulus also acquired the Citadel/ABC Radio Network, which serves
4,000+ radio stations and 121 million listeners, in the
transaction

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $3.91 billion
in total assets, $3.51 billion in total liabilities, $118.23
million in total redeemable preferred stock, and $278.50 million
total stockholders' equity.

Cumulus Media said in its annual report for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, that lenders under the 2011 Credit Facilities have
taken security interests in substantially all of the Company's
consolidated assets, and the Company has pledged the stock of
certain of its subsidiaries to secure the debt under the 2011
Credit Facilities.  If the lenders accelerate the repayment of
borrowings, the Company may be forced to liquidate certain assets
to repay all or part of such borrowings, and the Company cannot
assure that sufficient assets will remain after it has paid all of
the borrowings under those 2011 Credit Facilities.  If the Company
was unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed
against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness
and the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Cumulus Media put AR Broadcasting Holdings Inc. and three other
units to Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
11-13674) in 2011 after struggling to pay off debts that topped
$97 million as of June 30, 2011.  Holdings estimated debts between
$50 million and $100 million but said assets are worth less than
$50 million.  AR Broadcasting operated radio stations in Missouri
and Texas.

                           *     *     *

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in October 2011 affirmed is 'B'
corporate credit rating on Cumulus Media.

"The ratings reflect continued economic weakness and higher post-
acquisition leverage than we initially expected," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith. "They also reflect the
combined company's sizable presence in both large and midsize
markets throughout the U.S."

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 20, 2012, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed the B1 Corporate Family Rating of Cumulus Media.  The
company's B1 corporate family rating is forward looking and
reflects Moody's expectation that management will continue to
reduce debt balances with free cash flow resulting in net debt-to-
EBITDA ratios of less than 6.0x (including Moody's standard
adjustments, and treating preferred shares as 75% debt) over the
rating horizon, with further improvement thereafter consistent
with management's 4.0x reported leverage target.


DAIS ANALYTIC: Amends Purchase Agreement with Green Valley
----------------------------------------------------------
Dais Analytic Corporation amended its Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated Oct. 17, 2012, with Green Valley International
Investment Management Company Limited pursuant to which the Green
Valley will purchase up to $7 million of the Company's common
stock, $0.01 par value per share, and warrants to purchase up to
17,500,000 shares of common stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Greey
Valley has purchased $1,750,000 of common stock and warrants.  The
amendment, requires Green Valley to purchase the remaining common
stock and Warrants on or before Jan. 25, 2013.  This extension

DEAN FOODS: Moody's Cuts CFR to B1; Raises Sec Debt Rating to Ba2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered Dean Foods Company's Corporate
Family and Probability of Default Ratings to B1 from Ba3. At the
same time Moody's upgraded the rating for Dean's senior secured
credit facility to Ba2 from Ba3, while unsecured debt ratings were
confirmed at B2. The company's SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity
rating remains unchanged. The rating outlook is stable. The new
ratings reflect Dean's business and financial position post the
completion of the planned spinoff of most of its remaining
interest in WhiteWave to shareholders, as well as the sale of
Morningstar which closed yesterday.

Ratings Rationale

Dean Foods' B1 rating reflect its narrow pro-forma margins, the
commodity oriented nature of the fluid milk business, as well as
relatively high leverage despite significant debt paydown from IPO
and sale proceeds, more limited product, geographic and customer
diversification than several of its food and agriculture company
peers, and the potential for high earnings volatility due to
fluctuating milk prices and low pricing power. It also reflects
certain challenges facing the category including declining US milk
consumption and dependence on government farm policy as regards to
milk subsidies. The rating is supported by the company's leading
market share, national scale in the US dairy industry, and strong
distribution network with comprehensive refrigerated direct store
delivery systems, all of which have allowed Dean to gain market
share versus competitors. The rating also reflects the potential
for further cost efficiencies/productivity improvements as
management focuses on internal integration, streamlining of
operations and further cost reduction initiatives.

Moody's expects that leverage will decline from historical levels
as the proceeds from the WhiteWave IPO and the Morningstar sale
were used to repay debt. However most of the pensions and leases
will remain with the Dean Foods business, and cash flows will be
diminished after the sale of the higher margin businesses. As a
result, leverage is likely to remain relatively high -- at close
to 4 times incorporating Moody's accounting adjustments -- over
the next 12 to 18 months. Meanwhile, EBITA margins are likely to
hover in the low 4% range post spin and sale, at least until
planned costs savings can be achieved. Interest coverage will
remain modest due to the high cost of remaining unsecured debt,
only slighly improved from historical levels. All ratios are
calculated using Moody's accounting adjustments. While Dean
continues to benefit from strong qualitative elements such as its
scale and national leadership position in fluid milk, it is
nevertheless a smaller and less diversified company with less
growth potential than before the Whitewave/Morningstar
transactions.

Moody's expects Dean to maintain good liquidity (as evidence by
its SGL-2) over the next 12-18 months, with ample headroom under
the bank covenants. Moody's also expects that a combination of
Dean's existing cash and as well as cash it can internally
generate near term will be sufficient to cover all basic cash
needs, including working capital and CapEx over the next four
quarters. Post the IPO and Sale of Morningstar, senior secured
debt is substantially reduced with the repayment all its secured
term debt ( all of both the A and B tranches) and the company
faces no near term maturites.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's assumption that Dean will
pursue a more conservative financial policy than in the past,
which is appropriate given the lower margins, and more limited
diversity of the remaining business.

Ratings could be upgraded over time if Dean Foods can demonstrate
that it is able to sustain less volatility than it has in the past
in its fluid milk business, achieve greater cost efficiencies,
permanently reduce leverage below 3.5 times, and improve interest
coverage. A downgrade could result from declining cash flow,
deterioration in liquidity, volume declines that are not offset by
pricing and efficiency gains, leverage sustained above 5 times, or
any large debt funded shareholder returns or acquisitions.

The following ratings were downgraded:

- Corporate Family Rating to B1 from Ba3

- Probability of Default Rating to B1 from Ba3

The following rating was upgraded:

- Senior Secured Bank Credit facility to Ba2 (LGD 2, 23%) from
   Ba3 (LGD 3, 42%)

The following ratings were confirmed:

- Senior Unsecured at B2 (LGD 5, 73%)

The principal methodology used in rating Dean Foods was Global
Food - Protein and Agriculture Industry Methodology (published
September 2009) and available on www.moodys.com in the Rating
Methodologies sub-directory under the Research & Ratings tab.
Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in
the process of rating this issuer can also be found in the Rating
Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's website.

Dean Foods is the largest processor and distributor of milk and
various other dairy products in the United States. Headquartered
in Dallas, Texas, Dean Foods had sales of approximately $12.8
billion for the latest twelve months ending September 30, 2012,
but will have sales of closer to $9 billion after the spin-off of
WhiteWave and sale of Morningstar.

DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Asks Court to Approve Revised Grimaldi PCP
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to approve the Debtors' settlement
agreement with Grimaldi Studio Legale, the settlement agreement
with Legale Gattai Minoli & Partners (the "Gattai PCP"), and the
Asset Agreement with Grimaldi.

On Oct. 9, 2012, the Court approved a partner contribution plan
and settlement agreement with Grimaldi (the "Grimaldi PCP"), which
required, inter alia, the consummation and approval of an "asset
settlement agreement" as a condition to the effectiveness of the
Grimaldi PCP.

The PCP signed by Grimaldi is substantially based on the form
of PCPs generally executed by Participating Partners, with the
primary differences including: (i) Grimaldi being the primary
obligor of the Partner Contribution Amounts under the agreement;
(ii) Grimaldi Participating Partners being required to execute
mutually acceptable forms of guaranty in connection with their
respective Partner Contribution Amounts by Sept. 15, 2012; and
(iii) the Parties' obligations under the agreement being
conditioned upon approval of a separate "Asset Settlement
Agreement," whereby the Debtor will waive its rights in certain
disputed property, including the pre-petition accounts
receivable, work in progress and unfinished business claimed by
the Firm in return for a further payment by Grimaldi.  The Asset
Settlement Agreement must be acceptable to the Secured Lenders and
the Official Creditors Committee.

Pursuant to the original Grimaldi PCP, Grimaldi agreed to
contribute 5,324,751 Euro to the Debtor's estate.

During the time needed to finalize the asset settlement agreement,
however, certain partners in Grimaldi determined to leave the firm
(including some participants in the Grimaldi PCP), who then
proceeded to form Gattai, an independent legal association
organized under the laws of Italy, with its registered office in
Milan, Italy.

As a result of the Grimaldi-Gattai breakup, the Grimaldi PCP
agreement has been altered to, among other things, reduce the
Grimaldi contribution amount to 3,414,737 Euro and to reflect the
fact that Gattai will pay the balance of 1,910,014 Euro pursuant
to the Gattai PCP.  Thus, the total PCP contribution amount for
both settlements -- which continues to be based on the uniform
application of the PCP formula -- is exactly the same as that
which Grimaldi agreed to pay in August.  Grimaldi has also agreed
to pay an additional $1,000,000 to the Debtor's estate to settle
claims concerning certain disputed assets pursuant to the Asset
Agreement.

The Debtor says the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and
Secured Lenders holding a majority in amount of the Secured Lender
Claims support the motion.

The hearing to consider the motion will be heard on Jan. 24, 2013,
at 10:00 a.m.  Objections are due not later than 4:00 p.m. on
Jan. 17, 2013.

The Debtors also request the Court to approve the Letter
Agreements concerning the PCPs as they pertain to two of the
Debtor's former Parners, Gavin Watson and Chris P. Sioufi (the
"Settling Dubai Partners').  The Settling Dubai Partners were
formerly residents in the Debtor's branch office in Dubai, the
United Arab Emirates.

The Dubai Liquidator has frozen the only remaining asset of the
Dubai Office -- a funded bank account from which severance and
other local claims will be paid, including pre-petition severance
claims filed individually by the Settling Dubai Partners of
approximately $923,000 each (the "GW/CS Claims") against the Dubai
Office.

The salient terms of the Letter Agreements are:

   -- The Settling Dubai Partners will withdraw the GW/CS Claims
from the Dubai Liquidation.

   -- As a result of the withdrawal of the GW/CS Claims, the Dubai
Liquidator will after paying certain preferred or unsecured local
creditors, send the balance of the proceeds of the Dubai
Liquidation, if any, to the Debtor.

   -- The Debtor agrees that fifty percent (50%) of the balance
received by the Debtor from the Dubai Liquidator under the Dubai
Liquidation, if any, will be credited to the Settling Dubai
Partners as payment towards their Partner Contribution Amounts
payable under their PCPs.  In the event the Debtor does not
receive any balance, the Settling Dubai Partners will remain
participants in the PCPs and each will be responsible for the
payment of their respective full Partner Contribution Amount.

   == On the Effective Date, the PCP Credit, to the extent
applicable, will be allocated equally between the two Settling
Dubai Partners with respect to their Partner Contribution Amounts.

   -- Except as otherwise modified in the Letter Agreements, all
other provisions of the PCPs will remain unchanged.

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

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

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


DYNEGY INC: Moody's Assigns 'B2' CFR/PDR; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 Corporate Family Rating,
B2 Probability of Default Rating and SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating to Dynegy Inc. The rating outlook for Dynegy is
stable.

Concurrently, Moody's affirmed Dynegy Power, LLC's (GasCo) senior
secured term loan rating at B2 and revised its rating outlook to
stable from positive.

Ratings Rationale

"The ratings assigned [Fri]day consider headwinds facing Dynegy,
including the current low power price environment in which it
operates, the near-term maturity of two in-the-money power
contracts and an indication that consolidated cash flows will
decline over the near-term" said Moody's Vice President Scott
Solomon. "Voluntary debt reduction completed late last year and
anticipated future revenue from the sale of generating capacity
provides support for the B2 rating," added Mr. Solomon.

Dynegy indirectly owns approximately 10,000 megawatts of
generating capacity through two wholly-owned operating
subsidiaries. Specifically, GasCo owns approximately 7,000
megawatts of gas-fired generation in four distinct geographical
power markets, while Dynegy Midwest Generation, LLC (CoalCo) owns
3,000 megawatts of coal-fired capacity in Illinois. The only debt
outstanding are term loans at these legal entities totaling
approximately $1.4 billion, down from $1.7 billion at September
30, 2012. This debt may be refinanced at the Dynegy level during
2013.

Dynegy primarily sells the electricity generated by its coal-fired
generation into the Midwest Independent System Operator or MISO
wholesale power market at market-determined price levels. The MISO
power pool remains fairly oversupplied which, combined with weak
electric demand and low fuel costs, has resulted in price levels
at-or-near historical lows. This has resulted in poor historical
financial performance; Dynegy's coal portfolio generated negative
cash flow during the first nine months of 2012.

Moreover, two significant contractual sources of cash flow are
scheduled to mature over the next 24 months. This includes
California-based Moss Landing (Units 6&7), which has one -year
remaining on its long-term tolling arrangement, while its New
York-based Independence plant has a contractual arrangement
expiring in late 2014.

In Moody's opinion, Dynegy will be hard pressed to re-contract
these assets which is the primary driver for an expected declining
cash flow trend. Moody's current expectation is for Dynegy to
generate consolidated cash flows before changes in working capital
items (CFO pre-WC) in a range of $155-175 million in 2013, $60-80
million in 2014 and a potentially lower amount in 2015. These
results are expected to yield key financial metrics of CFO pre-WC
to debt and interest coverage in a range of 5-7% and 1.5-1.7
times, respectively, in 2014, levels which Moody's views
commensurate with a B2 Corporate Family Rating. We would need to
see key consolidated financial metrics of CFO pre-WC to debt and
interest coverage in excess of 8% and 1.8 times, respectively, on
a sustainable basis to consider an upgrade of Dynegy's Corporate
Family Rating.

The revision of GasCo's rating outlook to stable from positive
reflects the expected decline in its cash flow and key financial
metrics given the expiration of the above cited contracts.

Dynegy's speculative grade liquidity rating of SGL-3 reflects
Moody's expectation that the company will maintain an adequate
liquidity profile over the next 4-quarter period as a result of
the maintenance of acceptable cash balances given the current lack
of an external committed source of liquidity. Unrestricted
consolidated cash balances currently stand at approximately $400
million.

ENDO HEALTH: Litigation Charge No Effect on Moody's Ba2 Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service commented that recent developments
affecting Endo Health Solutions Inc. related to a new litigation
charge and pending generic competition for Opana are credit
negative. However, there is currently no change to Endo's Ba2
Corporate Family Rating or the stable rating outlook.

"We anticipate debt/EBITDA of approximately 3.0 times over the
near-term, in-line with Moody's expectations for Endo's Ba2
rating. However, Endo's flexibility to absorb leverage above 3.0
times at the Ba2 rating level is somewhat slim," stated Michael
Levesque, Moody's Senior Vice President.

The principal methodology used in rating Endo was the Global
Pharmaceutical Industry Methodology published in December 2012.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Headquartered in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, Endo Health Solutions
is a U.S.-focused specialty healthcare company offering branded
and generic pharmaceuticals, medical devices and services. Endo's
key areas of focus include pain management, urology, oncology and
endocrinology. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2012,
Endo reported net revenues of $3.0 billion.


ENERGY FUTURE: CEO Annual Salary Raised to $1.35 Million
--------------------------------------------------------
The Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Energy Future Holdings Corp. approved changes to the
compensation of John F. Young, the president and chief executive
officer of EFH Corp., and Paul M. Keglevic, the executive vice
president and chief financial officer of EFH Corp.

The Committee increased Mr. Young's base salary to $1,350,000 per
year, and increased his target award under the EFH Corp. Executive
Annual Incentive Program to 125% of his base salary.  Mr. Young
and EFH Corp. entered into an Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement, effective Dec. 26, 2012, setting forth the foregoing
changes.  The Committee also increased Mr. Keglevic's base salary
to $735,000 per year, effective Dec. 26, 2012.

On Dec. 27, 2012, Jeffrey Liaw notified the Company of his
resignation from the Board of Directors effective Dec. 31.

                         About Energy Future

Energy Future Holdings Corp., formerly known as TXU Corp., is a
privately held diversified energy holding company with a portfolio
of competitive and regulated energy businesses in Texas.  Oncor,
an 80%-owned entity within the EFH group, is the largest regulated
transmission and distribution utility in Texas.

The Company delivers electricity to roughly three million delivery
points in and around Dallas-Fort Worth.  EFH Corp. was created in
October 2007 in a $45 billion leverage buyout of Texas power
company TXU in a deal led by private-equity companies Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts & Co. and TPG Inc.

Energy Future had a net loss of $1.91 billion on $7.04 billion of
operating revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, compared with
a net loss of $2.81 billion on $8.23 billion of operating revenues
during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$42.73 billion in total assets, $51.90 billion in total
liabilities and a $9.16 billion total deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 15, 2012, Moody's downgraded the
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) of EFH to Caa3 from Caa2 and
affirmed its Caa3 Probability of Default Rating (PDR) and SGL-4
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating.  The downgrade of EFH's CFR to
Caa3 from Caa2 reflects the company's financial distress and
limited financial flexibility.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 7, 2012,  Fitch Ratings has lowered
the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of EFH to 'Restricted Default'
(RD) from 'CC'.  Fitch Ratings has deemed the recently concluded
exchange offer to exchange a portion of the LBO notes and legacy
notes at Energy Future Holdings Corp (EFH) for new 11.25%/12.25%
senior toggle notes due 2018 at Energy Future Intermediate Holding
Company LLC (EFIH) as a distressed debt exchange (DDE).

In the Dec. 28, 2012, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit ratings on EFIH,
TCEH, and EFCH to 'CC' from 'CCC'.

"We lowered to 'CC' from 'CCC' our corporate credit rating on EFH
subsidiary EFCH. EFCH guarantees TCEH's senior secured debt (which
includes the revolver) and so falls to 'CC' along with TCEH," S&P
said.

in accordance with the Restructured Loan Instruments.

   2. The allowed General Unsecured Claims, which includes the
Deficiency Claim, will be satisfied by periodic distributions to
the holders of each allowed Unsecured Claim on a pro rata basis
with the holders of all Allowed Unsecured Claims.  The initial
Distribution to holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims hereunder will

property of the estate within 20 days after the Effective Date by
the Reorganized Debtor and all future Distributions will be made
from the Reorganized Debtor on the respective Distribution Dates.
The initial distribution will be in the amount of $4,166 and

Plan.  After the Effective Date, any surplus from the rent revenue

FRIENDSHIP DAIRIES: Has Interim OK to Hire M. Wishkaemper as CPA
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
granted Friendship Dairies permission to employ Johnson, Miller &
Co., specifically Mike Wischkaemper, to provide accounting
services to the Debtor, provided that Johnson, Miller & Co.,
within 10 days of the order, waive its right to vote for or
against any Chapter 11 Plan proposed in the Debtor's case.

The United States Trustee and secured creditor AgStar
Financial Services, ACA, objected to the application.  The Order
cites: "The dispute among the parties arises from the fact that
Johnson, Miller & Co. has a claim of $79,137 for prepetition
services provided to the Debtor.  As a prepetition creditor,
Johnson, Miller & Co. is not disinterested as defined under
Section 101(14)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and is thereby arguably
disqualified from employment under Section 327(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code."

Judge Robert L. Jones made reference however to Section 1107(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code which provides that "[n]otwithstanding Section
327(a) of this title, a person is not disqualified for employment
under Section 327 of this title by a debtor in possession solely
because of such person's employment by or representation of the
debtor before the commencement of the case."

As reported in the TCR on Oct. 30, 2012, Mr. Wischkaemper has been
Debtor's certified professional accountant since 2003, over which
time Mr. Wischkaemper has provided general accounting services,
including bookkeeping and tax return and financial statement
preparation.  Mr. Wischkaemper's hourly rate is $260, and
associate accountants charge $80 to $150 per hour.  Other than a
balance of $79,137 for prepetition services, Johnson, Miller &
Co., represents no interest adverse to Debtor as debtor-in-
possession or to the estate in the matters upon which it is to be
engaged.

alternatives.

In connection with the Assignment, Keith Harris, Hoss Astaraki and

                        Bankruptcy Warning

According to the Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, the
Company's ability to make payments on its indebtedness as required
depends on its ability to generate cash flow from operations in
the future.  This ability, to a certain extent, is subject to
general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory
and other factors that are beyond the Company's control.

There can be no assurance that the Company's business will
generate cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will
be available to the Company in amounts sufficient to enable it to
pay its indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.
Currently the Company does not have the ability to draw upon its
revolving credit facility which limits its immediate and short-
term access to funds.  If the Company is unable to repay its
indebtedness at maturity the Company may be forced to liquidate or
reorganize its operations and business under the federal
bankruptcy laws.


GENE CHARLES: Wants OK to Enter Into Pipeline Deals with AMS
------------------------------------------------------------
Gene Charles Valentine Trust asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Western Virginia for authorization to
enter into Pipeline Right-of-Way Agreements, Roadway Easement
Agreements, and Surface Use Agreements with Appalachia Midstream
Services, L.L.C. ("AMS") and to use the cash collateral proceeds
of the Pipeline Agreements, inter alia, to fund the Debtor's
administrative Chapter 11 expenses, trustee's fees, as well as
costs of operations.

                Subsurface Assets; Oil & Gas Leases

According to papers filed by the Debtor with the Court, there is
believed to exist certain oil, gas and coalbed methane gas, and
associated hydrocarbons ("Subsurface Assets") on both the Debtor's
Aspen Manor and Peace Point properties.  Prepetition, the Debtor
entered into certain oil, gas and coalbed methane leases with
Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC, and then Chesapeake Appalachia,
LLC, as assignee and lessee pertaining to the Subsurface Assets on
both the Aspen Manor and Peace Point properties.

Pursuant to the Aspen Manor Oil & Gas Lease, dated Feb. 28, 2008,
the Debtor agreed to lease exclusively to the lessee certain
tracts on Aspen Manor for the purposes of exploring for drilling,
producing and removing the all Subsurface Assets, along with the
right to survey and transport such production.  The Debtor was
paid an upfront "paid-up delay rental" and was to be given a 14%
royalty of all production.  The term of the Aspen Manor Oil & Gas
Leases was for five (5) years and so much longer as the Subsurface
Assets are produced on Aspen Manor.

On Oct. 15, 2012, the Debtor sought the Court's authorization to
(i) assume certain executory contracts with Chesapeake Appalachia
LLC and (ii) obtain authority to sell, use, or lease certain of
Debtor's oil, gas and coalbed methane assets, including those
relating to Aspen Manor (the "Chesapeake Motion")

Catholic Financial Life, one of the Debtor's secured creditors,
filed on Oct. 25, 2012, a limited objection to the Chesapeake
Motion.  Catholic Financial has a security interest in the Aspen
Manor properties (including acreage that will be disturbed by the
construction of the pipeline and road) as well as apparently the
Subsurface Assets underneath such Aspen Manor properties.
Catholic Financial also has a security interest in the rents and
royalties or other proceeds from the Aspen Manor properties and
Subsurface Assets.

As set forth on the Debtor's Schedules, as of the Petition Date,
the Debtor owes $1,532,924.60 of secured debt to Catholic
Financial Life.

The Debtor and Catholic Financial Life will be filing a
Stipulation and Agreed Order resolving the limited objection of
Catholic Financial Life to the Chesapeake Motion pursuant to which
the Parties intend to seek authorization to assume pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code Section 365 the Aspen Manor Oil & Gas Lease
executed by and between Chesapeake and the Debtor and to extend
the terms of such lease for an additional two years.

                      The Pipeline Agreements

Currently, in conjunction with the proposed drilling by Chesapeake
on Aspen Manor in accordance with the Aspen Manor Oil & Gas Lease,
AMS wishes to construct at least two pipelines on parcels
surrounding the Aspen Manor Resort as well as an access road on
the Aspen Manor property, pursuant to those certain proposed
Pipeline Agreements.

Obtaining Court approval of the Chesapeake Motion is a necessary
condition precedent for the construction of the AMS pipelines and
road.  Upon information and belief, Chesapeake works exclusively
with AMS to construct all of its pipelines and roads for drilling.

As soon as the Pipeline Agreements are signed, the Debtor upfront
will receive 10% of the contract price immediately, totaling
approximately $22,000.  AMS will pay the remaining monies due
($188,000) to the Debtor after construction has started, which may
be as early as December of 2012 or January of 2013 (in next 60 to
90 days).

              Limited Objection of Catholic Financial

On Nov. 21, 2012, Catholic Financial Life filed a limited
objection to the Debtor's emergency motion to enter into the
Pipeline Agreements with AMS and to use cash collateral proceeds
from the Pipeline Agreements.

Catholic Financial does not necessarily object to the Debtor's
request to enter into the Pipeline Agreements.  CFL, however,
objects to the motion in so far as the Debtor seeks to enter into
the Pipeline Agreements "free and clear" of CFL's interests
including the Deed of Trust on the Aspen Manor Property.

CFL also objects to the allocation of the Proceeds which are CFL's
cash collateral.

According to CFL, the Parties are currently working on a
Stipulation and Agreed Order to resolve its objections regarding
Debtor entering into the Pipeline Agreements and the use and
application of the Proceeds and hope to provide the Court with
this amicable resolution in the near future.

Virginia on Aug. 9, 2012.  The Gene Charles Valentine Trust owns
commercial and real estate properties in West Virginia, the
Financial West Group, the Peace Point Equestrian Center and the
Aspen Manor.  The Debtor disclosed in its schedules $34,101,393 in
total assets and $22,623,554 in total liabilities.

GENE CHARLES: Wants Plan Filing Period Extended to Feb. 7
---------------------------------------------------------
Gene Charles Valentine Trust asks the Hon. Patrick M. Flatley of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West
Virginia to extend the exclusive period to file a plan of
reorganization to Feb. 7, 2013, and the exclusive right to solicit
acceptances or rejections to that plan to April 7, 2013.

The Debtor's exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization
expired on Dec. 7, 2012, and its exclusive right to solicit
acceptances or rejections of any plan it proposes expires on
Feb. 7, 2013.

The Debtor commenced this case in response to efforts by one of
its secured creditors, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Company, to sell at
public action certain of the Debtor's substantial assets.  Almost
immediately after the Debtor sought this Court's protection, Gulf
Coast moved to dismiss the Debtor's Chapter 11 case on the theory
the Debtor was not eligible for bankruptcy protection.  "While the
Debtor ultimately was successful in having that motion denied, the
reality is that defending that motion diverted the resources of
both the Debtor and its counsel from other tasks important to this
case, among them the formulating of a plan of reorganization," the
Debtor stated.

The Debtor said that it has found it necessary to involve the
Court in a discovery dispute arising out of Gulf Coast Bank's
refusal to timely produce documents that the Debtor seeks under
legitimate discovery requests; and, this is after the Debtor spent
significant hours timely pouring through volumes of documents in
order to be responsive to all of the discovery requests propounded
by Gulf Coast Bank.

The Debtor added that because the Dec. 24, 2012 Bar Date in this
case falls after the December 7th plan filing deadline, it is
necessary to provide additional time to permit the Debtor to
negotiate a plan with its various creditors.  Although many of the
scheduled claims are listed as disputed or un-liquidated, very few
proofs of claim have been filed as of this date.

The Debtor's business interests are multifaceted and complex.  It
took several weeks to prepare the Debtor's Schedules, even after
receiving a 14-day extension.  The Schedules were also
subsequently amended.

The Debtor assured the Court that it has made substantial progress
in negotiating contracts with oil & gas operators and servicers in
order to generate revenues arising out of the oil & gas assets
relating to the Debtor's Aspen Manor and Peace Point properties.
While certain of the motions are contested and pending resolution,
the Debtor is confident that a deal will be struck and the
handsome proceeds of these contracts will be used to fund the
proposed plan.

                        Dismissal Denied

In October 2012, Judge Patrick M. Flatley denied Gulf Coast Bank &
Trust Co.'s motion to dismiss Gene Charles Valentine Trust's
Chapter 11 case, consistent with the Court's order finding the
Debtor to be a "business trust" eligible for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
relief.

Gulf Coast lodged a request in Court seeking dismissal of the
Debtor's bankruptcy case, saying the case was not filed in good
faith with the intention of reorganizing the Debtor but rather for
the sole purpose of delay as admitted in its filings before the
Bankruptcy Court.  The bank contends the Gene Charles Valentine
Trust:

     -- is not a "person" as defined under section 101(41) of the
        Bankruptcy Code and thus is not entitled to be a debtor
        under section 109(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

     -- is not a "corporation" as defined under section 101(9) of
        the Bankruptcy Code and thus is not entitled to be a
        debtor under section 109(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

     -- is not a "business trust" as defined by recognized
        precedent in the Northern District of West Virginia,
        as described by the terms of the Declaration of Trust
        of the Gene Charles Valentine Trust itself, and by the
        statements made by Gene Charles Valentine himself under
        oath in various litigation pending in the United States
        District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia
        and in the Circuit Court for Brooke County, West Virginia.

GEOKINETICS INC: Common Stock Delisted From NYSE
------------------------------------------------
The NYSE MKT LLC filed a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission regarding the removal from listing or
registration of Geokinetics Inc.'s common stock on NYSE.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Geokinetics Inc., a Delaware
corporation founded in 1980, is provides seismic data acquisition,
processing and integrated reservoir geosciences services, and
land, transition zone and shallow water OBC environment
geophysical services.  These geophysical services include
acquisition of 2D, 3D, time-lapse 4D and multi-component seismic
data surveys, data processing and integrated reservoir geosciences
services for customers in the oil and natural gas industry, which
include national oil companies, major international oil companies
and independent oil and gas exploration and production companies
worldwide.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$410.85 million in total assets, $580.10 million in total
liabilities, $88.19 million of Series B-1 Senior Convertible
Preferred Stock, and a stockholders' deficit of $257.44 million.

                           *     *     *

In the Oct. 5, 2011, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Geokinetics Holdings, Inc.'s (Geokinetics) Corporate
Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to
Caa2 from B3.

"The downgrade to Caa2 is driven by Geokinetics' lower than
expected margins in its international markets, constrained
liquidity and weak leverage metrics," commented Andrew Brooks,
Moody's Vice-President.  "The negative outlook highlights the
company's continuing tight liquidity and weak financial metrics
even in an improved oil and gas operating environment."

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 3, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit and senior secured ratings
on Geokinetics Holdings Inc. (Geokinetics) to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.
The rating action reflects uncertainty surrounding the costs,
damage to reputation, and effect on operations following a
liftboat accident in the Southern Gulf of Mexico that led to four
fatalities, including two Geokinetics employees and two
subcontractors.

GRANT FAMILY FARMS: Files for Chapter 7 Liquidation
---------------------------------------------------
Grant Family Farms in Wellington, Colorado, filed for Chapter 7
bankruptcy on Dec. 28.  Grant Family Farms --
http://grantfarms.com/-- is an organic Community Supported
Agriculture, or CSA, farm.

V. Richard Haro, writing for The Coloradoan, reports that the
owner, Andy Grant, declined to go into details about what led to
the filing, instead referring to a news release, but did indicate
that there will be more "interesting parts to this story."

"We are farmers; we will figure out a way," Mr. Grant told The
Coloradoan.  "We have farmed here in Colorado for 61 years; we
will figure out a way."

The farm closed last month and laid off more than 50 employees.

According to The Coloradoan, the bankruptcy petition lists the
farm's estimated assets between $500,001 and $1 million, with
estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million.  The farm's
creditors are listed in the 200 to 999 range.

The report also says Grant Farms is under court order to submit
its statement of financial affairs on Jan. 11.  There is a
creditors meeting set for Jan. 22, according to court records.


GRAYMARK HEALTHCARE: Hires Hein & Associates as Accountants
-----------------------------------------------------------
Graymark Healthcare, Inc., engaged Hein & Associates LLP as its
independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending
Dec. 31, 2012.

During 2012, the Company consulted with Hein regarding the process
for requesting accounting interpretation and guidance from the
Office of the Chief Accountant at the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The Company provided Hein with the research and
analysis it performed for the accounting for a proposed
transaction and a draft of the submission to the Staff requesting
guidance on the proposed accounting.  Hein did not provide any
information or guidance to the Company that was a factor in the
Company's determination of the appropriate accounting for the
proposed transaction.

                     About Graymark Healthcare

Graymark Healthcare, Inc., headquartered in Oklahoma City, Okla.,
provides care management solutions to the sleep disorder market.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company operated 107 sleep diagnostic and
therapy centers in 10 states.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $19.68
million in total assets, $24.29 million in total liabilities and a
$4.60 million total deficit.

As of Sept. 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $44.5 million and reported a net loss of
approximately $9.4 million for the nine months then ending.  In
addition, the Company used approximately $3.7 million in cash from
operating activities from continuing operations during the nine
months ending Sept. 30, 2012.  In August 2012, the Company
executed a definitive agreement to purchase Foundation Surgery
Affiliates, LLC and Foundation Surgical Hospital Affiliates, LLC,
for 35 million shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant
for the purchase of 4 million shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of $1.50 (assuming conversion of the
preferred stock which was to be issued at closing).  The
Foundation acquisition has not closed and management does not
believe that it will close in its current form due to certain
external factors including the inability to obtain the consent of
certain preferred interest holders of certain subsidiaries of
Foundation.  Management is working on an alternative structure for
the Foundation transaction, but there is no assurance that the
Foundation acquisition will be closed.

On Nov. 12, 2012, the Company executed a subscription agreement
with Graymark Investments, LLC, in which OHP agreed to purchase
1,444,445 shares of the Company's common stock for $650,000 ($0.45
per share).  The proceeds from OHP were received on Nov. 13, and
will be used to fund the operations of the Company.  Including the
stock proceeds from OHP, management estimates that the Company has
enough cash to operate through Dec. 31, 2012.

Management also plans on raising equity capital or issuing
additional debt in the near term to meet the Company's additional
cash needs in 2013.  In addition, management has initiated a cost
reduction plan that is estimated will save the Company in excess
of $2 million in 2013.  The cost reduction plan includes a
reduction in the labor force and general corporate expenses as
well as process improvements that will result in lower bad debt
expense. During the fourth quarter of 2012, management also
anticipates developing a plan to close certain non-profitable lab
locations.

Historically, management has been able to raise the capital
necessary to fund the operation and growth of the Company, but
there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in
raising the necessary capital to fund the Company's operations.
"These uncertainties raise substantial doubt regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern," the Company
said in regulatory filings.


GREENMAN TECHNOLOGIES: Incurs $14.6MM Net Loss in Fiscal 2012
-------------------------------------------------------------
American Power Group Corporation, formerly known as GreenMan
Technologies Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss
available to common shareholders of $14.66 million on $2.63
million of net sales for the year ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared
with a net loss available to common shareholders of $6.81 million
on $1.76 million of net sales during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $9.08
million in total assets, $4.11 million in total liabilities and
$4.97 million in total stockholders' equity.

Schechter Dokken Kanter Andrews & Selcer, Ltd., in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, did not issue a "going concern" qualification on the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended Sept. 30,
2012.

As previously reported, Schechter Dokken issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended Sept. 31, 2011, indicating that the Company has
continued to incur substantial losses from operations, has not
generated positive cash flows and has insufficient liquidity to
fund its ongoing operations that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

HAMPTON ROADS: Board OKs Issue of $745,300 RSUs to Executives
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Hampton
Roads Bankshares, Inc., approved the issuance, effective Dec. 27,
2012, of restricted stock units to certain of the Company's Named
Executive Officers under the Company's 2011 Omnibus Incentive
Plan.  The Committee approved the issuance of restricted stock
units equal to 50% of each such Named Executive Officer's 2012
salary as follows:

   Name                Position                     Dollar Value
   ----                --------                     ------------
Douglas J. Glenn      President and CEO              $267,897  
Stephen P. Theobald   EVP and CFO                 $212,500
Robert J. Bloxom      EVP and CRO                    $145,000
Thomas Mears          President & Chief Executive    $120,000
                       Officer of Shore Bank and
                       President of Commercial
                       Banking of Bank of Hampton
                       Roads

The resulting number of restricted stock units was calculated by
dividing the dollar value of the award by the closing price of the
Company's common stock on the date of issuance, Dec. 27, 2012.
The restricted stock units will vest on the latest of the 2nd
anniversary of issuance; the date the Company is no longer subject
to the executive compensation and corporate governance
requirements of Section 111(b) of the Emergency Economic and
Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended; or the date the Company is
no longer subject to the Written Agreement by and among the
Company, The Bank of Hampton Roads, the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions.
Within 30 days of vesting the Company will settle the restricted
stock units by issuing one share of its common stock for each
vested restricted stock unit.

The issuance of restricted stock units to Mr. Glenn constitutes
the annual grant of securities provided for in his Employment
Agreement.

HAWAII OUTDOOR: Sec. 341 Meeting of Creditors Today
---------------------------------------------------
Tiffany Carroll, Acting United States Trustee for Region 15, will
hold a meeting of creditors under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 341(a) in the
bankruptcy case of Hawaii Outdoor Tours Incorporated on Jan. 8,
2013, at Hilo State Office Building, 75 Aupuni Street, 1st Floor,
Hilo, Hawaii.

Proofs of claims are due by April 8, 2013.

                   About Hawaii Outdoor Tours

Hawaii Outdoor Tours Incorporated, operator of the Niloa Volcanoes
Resort in Hilo, Hawaii, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
Haw. Case No. 12-02279) in Honolulu on Nov. 20, 2012.  Niloa
Volcanoes is a 382-room hotel with a nine-hole golf course.  The
64-acre property is subject to a 65-year lease, commencing Feb. 1,
2006, and provides for a total ground rent for the first 10 years
of $500,000 annually.  The Debtor used a $10 million loan from
First Regional Bank and $10 million of its own cash to invest in
the property.

First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, which acquired the First
Regional note from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., commenced
foreclosure proceedings in August.  First Citizens asserts a claim
of $9.95 million.  The Debtor believes that the value of the hotel
property exceeds the amount of the First-Citizens note.  Just the
bricks and mortal alone was valued in excess of $35 million by
First Regional's appraiser and the insurance company.

Bankruptcy Judge Robert J. Faris oversees the case.  Wagner Choi &
Verbugge acts as bankruptcy counsel.

In its petition, the Debtor estimated $10 million to $50 million
in both assets and debts.  The petition was signed by CEO Kenneth
Fujiyama.


HEALTHWAREHOUSE.COM INC: Incurs $1.6MM Net Loss in 2nd Quarter
------------------------------------------------------=-------
HealthWarehouse.com, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $1.60 million on $2.99 million of net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of
$1.10 million on $2.52 million of net sales for the same period
during the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported a net
loss of $3.15 million on $6.15 million of net sales, compared with
a net loss of $2.17 million on $4.80 million of net sales for the
same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $2.24 million
in total assets, $6.82 million in total liabilities, $752,226 in
redeemable preferred stock, and a $5.33 million total
stockholders' deficiency.

"Since inception, the Company has financed its operations
primarily through product sales to customers, debt and equity
financing agreements, and advances from stock holders.  As of
June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had negligible
cash and working capital deficiency of $5,724,914 and $2,404,464,
respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash flows
included net cash used in operating activities of $581,948, net
cash provided by investing activities of $138,241 and net cash
provided by financing activities of $443,846.  Additionally, all
of the Company's outstanding convertible notes payable mature at
the end of December 2012 and outstanding notes payable mature in
January 2013.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern."

HHI HOLDINGS: S&P Withdraws 'B+' Corporate Credit Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it withdrew its 'B+'
corporate credit rating on Royal Oak, Mich.-based auto supplier
HHI Holdings LLC.  This follows the completion of refinancing (in
October 2012) related to its acquisition by private equity firm
American Securities LLC through a recapitalization composed of a
$505 million senior secured term loan B and a $75 million
revolver.

At the same time, S&P is withdrawing the 'B+' issue-level and '4'

parent, and guarantor.


HILLTOP DAIRY: Seeks Dismissal on Day of Filing
-----------------------------------------------

later, a lawyer for the dairy filed a motion asking the judge to
dismiss the bankruptcy.  The motion said that the bankruptcy "was
mistakenly filed by co-counsel before the case was ready to be
filed because of an error in counsel's computer software."

13-40002) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Jan. 2, 2013.  The

HOSTESS BRANDS: Court Approves $30 Million Loan From Hilco
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Hostess Brands Inc. received approval from the
bankruptcy court on Dec. 21 to take down a $30 million loan from
affiliates of Hilco Trading LLC.

Although the baker of Wonder bread expects to bring in $80 million
by the end of January from collection of receivables, Hostess
realized it would need new financing because expenses in the
period are estimated at $100 million and lenders financing the
bankruptcy are requiring a partial paydown.  Hostess said that no
other real estate brokers or agents were willing to make the loan.
The six-month loan from Hilco bears 6.5% interest.  The loan will
have a lien on real estate, machinery and equipment ahead of all
existing liens other than those of the revolving credit lenders.

According to the report, the court at the hearing also extended
Hostess's exclusive right to propose a Chapter 11 plan until
March 6.

Hilco was also hired with court permission to sell real estate,
leases, machinery, equipment and intellectual property not part of
going-concern sales.  Hilco is to receive commissions on real
estate sales ranging from 4% on larger sales to 6% on smaller
ones.  On sales of equipment and machinery, Hilco will receive a
15% buyer's premium, with 1.5% rebated to Hostess.  Hilco will
receive no commissions on sales of intellectual property.  Hilco's
minimum compensation on asset sales is $2 million.

-- http://www.khov.com/-- founded in 1959 by Kevork S. Hovnanian,
is one of the nation's largest homebuilders with operations in
Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North

West Virginia.  The Company's homes are marketed and sold under
the trade names K. Hovnanian Homes, Matzel & Mumford, Brighton

CraftBuilt Homes.  As the developer of K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons
communities, the Company is also one of the nation's largest
builders of active adult homes.

For the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2012, the Company reported a net
loss of $66.19 million on $1.48 billion of total revenues,
compared with a net loss of $286.08 million on $1.13 billion of
total revenues for the same period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 31, 2012, showed $1.68 billion
in total assets, $2.16 billion in total liabilities and a $485.34
million in total deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 7, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Hovnanian
Enterprises Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'CCC-' and removed it from
CreditWatch positive.

"We raised our corporate credit rating to reflect operating
performance that is better than we expected, resulting in
narrowing pretax losses," said credit analyst George Skoufis.  "It
also reflects improved liquidity following the recent debt
issuances that will extend the bulk of the company's 2016
maturities to 2020 and reduce its overall interest burden."

In the Dec. 11, 2012, edtiiton of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed the ratings for Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: HOV),
including the company's Issuer Default Rating (IDR), at 'CCC'.
The rating for HOV is influenced by the company's execution of its
business model, land policies, and geographic, price point and
product line diversity.  The rating additionally reflects the
company's liquidity position, substantial debt and high leverage.

Hovnanian carries 'Caa2' corporate family and probability of
default ratings from Moody's.

Moody's said in April 2012 that the Caa2 corporate family rating
reflects Hovnanian's elevated debt leverage weak gross margins,
continued operating losses, negative cash flow generation, and
Moody's expectation that the conditions in the homebuilding
industry over the next one to two yeas will provide limited
opportunities for improvement in the company's operating and
financial metrics.  In addition, the ratings consider Hovnanian's
negative net worth position, which Moody's anticipates will be
further weakened by continuing operating losses and impairment
charges.  As a result, adjusted debt leverage, currently standing
at 149%, is likely to increase further.

ICEWEB INC: Amends Current Report in Response to SEC's Comments
---------------------------------------------------------------
IceWEB, Inc., on Nov. 6, 2012, filed a current report on Form 8-K
disclosing that it had dismissed Sherb & Co., LLP, as its
independent registered public accounting firm and engaged D'Arelli
Pruzansky, P.A.

By letter dated Nov. 8, 2012, the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission requested that the Company amend that report
to address the uncertainty related to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern as noted in the reports of Sherb &
Co., LLP, dated Dec. 22, 2011, and Dec. 20, 2010.  The staff of
the Securities and Exchange Commission also requested that an
amended letter from Sherb & Co., LLP, be filed as an exhibit to
the amended report.  A copy of the amended letter is available at:

                        http://is.gd/buKUpq

In November 2012, IceWEB dismissed Sherb & Co as the Company's
independent registered public accountants and engaged D'Arelli
Pruzansky as replacement.  The dismissal of Sherb & Co and the
engagement of D'Arelli Pruzansky was approved by the Company's
Audit Committee.  Sherb & Co did not resign or decline to be
reappointed as the Company's independent registered public
accountants.

Neither the report of Sherb & Co dated Dec. 22, 2011, on the
Company's consolidated balance sheets as of Sept. 30, 2011, and
2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
years ended Sept. 30, 2011, and 2010 nor the report of Sherb & Co.
dated Dec. 20, 2010, on the Company's consolidated balance sheets
as of Sept. 30, 2010, and 2009 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years ended Sept. 30, 2010, and 2009 contained an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were either such
report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles, except that both those reports contained a
modification to the effect that there was substantial doubt as to
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period prior to the dismissal of Sherb & Co., there were no
disagreements with Sherb & Co. on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Sherb & Co., would have caused it to make
reference thereto in connection with its reports on each of the
Company's financial statements for those years.

During the years ended Sept. 30, 2010, and 2011 and through
Nov. 2, 2012, there were no reportable events as described in
paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

losses of $4.7 million and $7.0 million respectively, for the

doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


IDO SECURITY: Warns Possible Wind Down of Business in Israel
------------------------------------------------------------
IDO Security Inc., was advised that the Judge in the Tel-Aviv
District Labor Court awarded Mr. Gil Stiss, a former
officer/director of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, IDO
Security Ltd., judgment in the lawsuit brought by Mr. Stiss
against IDO LTD.  In the lawsuit, which Stiss commenced in October
2009 against IDO LTD and a former director and the then General
Manager of IDO LTD., Mr. Stiss sought the payment of amounts
purportedly due and payable to him  under his employment agreement
with IDO LTD.  Mr. Stiss was awarded Judgment in the approximate
amount of 1,475,000 in New Israeli Shekels (NIS), which is
equivalent to approximately $394,000 at the time of the filing of
this report (Dec. 31, 2012), with interest and cost of living
index adjustments computed from May 10, 2009.  Mr. Stiss' suit
against the then officers/directors of IDO LTD. was dismissed.
The Company was not a party to the lawsuit.

On Dec. 20, 2012, IDO LTD. filed a motion with the Court to stay
execution of the judgment pending appeal and on Dec. 23, 2012, IDO
Ltd. filed its appeal of the judgment.  Mr. Stiss was given until
Jan. 10, 2013, to respond to IDO LTD's motion for the stay of
execution of judgment.  No assurance can be provided as to the
ultimate disposition of the motions for the stay and the appeal.

In the meantime, the Company does not believe that there should be
any material disruption to its business or customers as a result
of the judgment.  However, if IDO LTD.'s appeal is not ultimately
successful or the judgment is not paid or otherwise settled, the
commercial activities in Israel may be disrupted or terminated as
a result of said judgment.

operations, had accumulated losses of $46.2 million (since

change in the majority representation of the Board and consequent

IRWIN MORTGAGE: Asks Court to Schedule Confirmation for March 7
---------------------------------------------------------------
Irwin Mortgage Corporation asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Ohio to enter a scheduling order that will
make it possible for its Plan to be considered and confirmed with
the exclusivity period.  Under the proposed schedule, the Plan and
Disclosure Statement will be filed on Jan. 4, 2013, and the
hearing on confirmation will occur on March 7, 2013.  This will
allow approximately 60 days for the Plan disclosure and
confirmation process.  Irwin Mortgage's exclusive periods to file
and solicit acceptances for a proposed Chapter 11 plan expires
Jan. 8, 2013, and March 8, 2013, respectively.

The Company says it is currently negotiating the terms of a stock
purchase agreement relating to the sale of the its wholly-owned
subsidiary, IRC.  The sale will likely occur outside of the Plan
process, and the Debtor anticipates filing a Section 363 motion
and closing the sale prior to confirmation.  Additionally, the
Debtor says it is attempting to finalize its due diligence
concerning actions that took place between 2006 and 2009, prior to
the Debtor being placed into receivership by the FDIC.  The Debtor
is also reviewing transactions or activities that occurred with
its parent, First Financial Bank, after its acquisition and the
Debtor expects to resolve these matters for Plan purposes.

For over 30 years, Mr. Laskey has held executive leadership
positions for public and private companies in a variety of
industries, including healthcare, electronics manufacturing,
physical security, and transportation.  A graduate of the

under the leadership of Ted Murphy and his team, but still there
remains significant opportunity to improve and grow the business
profitably and create value for all stakeholders."

his responsibilities on the Board, Mr. Laskey will also serve as

interest while managing venture capital funds at BOLDstart
Ventures.

"On behalf of the Board and the entire IZEA family, we look
forward to Mitchel's contributions as the new lead independent
director.  I believe Mitchel can add significant value to our
growth initiatives and assist us in advancing our business," said

deficit at Dec. 31, 2011, of $18.1 million.

Action following their bankruptcy filing.

A copy of the Court's Dec. 31, 2012 Memorandum Opinion is

They filed a joint chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.N.M. Case No.
10-12800) for themselves dba J & M Dairy.  Maria Borges was
dismissed from the case without prejudice for failing to obtain
the requisite prepetition credit counseling.  She promptly filed
another chapter 11 case, no. 10-14903, which was quickly
substantively consolidated with the earlier filed no. 10-12800.


JACKSONVILLE BANCORP: Closes $50 Million Capital Raise
------------------------------------------------------
Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc., the bank holding company for The
Jacksonville Bank, announced the closing of a $50 million capital
raise led by CapGen Capital Group IV LP under a definitive amended
and restated stock purchase agreement providing for the issuance
of 50,000 shares of JAXB Series A Mandatorily Convertible,
Noncumulative, Nonvoting, Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par
value per share, to accredited investors at a purchase price of
$1,000 per share.  The $50 million capital raise includes the $5
million investment by CapGen previously announced by JAXB in
September, and also includes investments by various JAXB directors
and officers.

Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P., acted as sole placement agent
for the stock purchase transaction.  The net proceeds of the
offering are expected to be used primarily to support the capital
of the Bank.

"Today's capital infusion solidifies our role as the premier
community bank in Jacksonville, allowing us to proactively address
resolution of problem assets, and grow our franchise in the years
ahead.  Our capital position is strong as we look to continuing
the delivery of highly personalized service to our customers, and
extending our reach to individuals, professionals, and businesses
in the Jacksonville market," said Stephen C. Green, the president
& chief executive officer of JAXB.

Subject to certain conditions, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock is expected to mandatorily convert into approximately 2,000
shares of JAXB's voting common stock or a new class of nonvoting
common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share
(subject to certain adjustments), for a total issuance of
approximately 100 million new shares of common stock upon
conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.  The
issuance of the common stock upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock is subject to approval by JAXB's shareholders, for
which JAXB expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders in
early 2013.  JAXB's shareholders will also be asked to approve an
increase in the authorized shares of JAXB voting common stock and
the authorization of a new class of nonvoting common stock, in
order to effect the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock as
contemplated in the transaction documents.  Under the transaction
documents, JAXB has 50 days after the closing of the transaction
to obtain the required shareholder approvals, thus triggering the
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Immediately prior to the closing of the capital raise, the Bank
sold approximately $25.1 million of classified assets, other loans
and other real estate owned for approximately $11.7 million.  The
asset purchaser was also an investor in the capital raise.
Sandler O'Neill Mortgage Finance L.P., an affiliate of Sandler
O'Neill + Partners, L.P., acted as exclusive financial advisor to
JAXB in connection with the asset sale.

                    About Jacksonville Bancorp

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company, is the parent
of The Jacksonville Bank, a Florida state-chartered bank focusing
on the Northeast Florida market with approximately $583 million in
assets and eight full-service branches in Jacksonville, Duval
County, Florida, as well as the Company's virtual branch.  The
Jacksonville Bank opened for business on May 28, 1999, and
provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and
individuals in Jacksonville, Florida.

According to the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012, the
Bank was adequately capitalized at June 30, 2012.  Depository
institutions that are no longer "well capitalized" for bank
regulatory purposes must receive a waiver from the FDIC prior to
accepting or renewing brokered deposits.  The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") generally
prohibits a depository institution from making any capital
distribution (including paying dividends) or paying any management
fee to its holding company, if the depository institution would
thereafter be undercapitalized.

The Bank had a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") with the FDIC
and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation that was entered
into in 2008, which required the Bank to have a total risk-based
capital of at least 10% and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at
least 8%.  Recently, on July 13, 2012, the 2008 MoU was replaced
by a new MoU, which, among other things, requires the Bank to have
a total risk-based capital of at least 12% and a Tier 1 leverage
capital ratio of at least 8%.  "We did not meet the minimum
capital requirements of these MOUs at June 30, 2012, and Dec. 31,
2011, when the Bank had total risk-based capital of 8.09% and
9.85% and Tier 1 leverage capital of 5.26% and 6.88%,
respectively."

Jacksonville's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $551.55
million in total assets, $537.97 million in total liabilities and
$13.57 million in total shareholders' equity.


JDA SOFTWARE: S&P Withdraws 'BB-' CCR Following RedPrairie Merger
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard and Poor's Ratings Services said that it withdrew its
'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on JDA Software
Group Inc. and its issue-level and recovery ratings on the
company's $275 million senior unsecured notes, following its
merger with RedPrairie Corp.  "We have assigned new ratings to RP
Crown Parent LLC, which is the issuer of the combined company's
credit facilities," S&P said.


JOURNAL REGISTER: Court Approves Auction Three Weeks Later
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the auction for Journal Register Co. will take place
on Feb. 15, about three weeks later than originally intended by
the newspaper publisher undergoing bankruptcy a second time.
Unless outbid, the company will be reacquired by current lender
and owner Alden Global Capital Ltd. largely in exchange for
secured debt.

The report recounts the newspapers began the formal sale process
in late November, asking the court to require bids by Jan. 18,
followed by an auction on Jan. 23.  In response to objection from
the Communications Workers of America, the company agreed to move
the bid deadline to Feb. 11 and the auction to Feb. 15.  In sale
procedures approved Dec. 21 by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Manhattan, a hearing to approve the sale will take place Feb. 21.

According to the report, Alden is offering to take ownership in
exchange for $117.5 million in secured debt and $1.75 million cash
to pay costs in winding down the bankruptcy.  Alden's purchase
price also includes paying off a $25 million loan from existing
revolving credit lender Wells Fargo Bank NA that's financing the

LA JOLLA: GCS-100 Demonstrates Reduction in Liver Fibrosis
----------------------------------------------------------
La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company announced the results of a mouse
study examining the effect of GCS-100 on liver fibrosis.  When
compared to placebo-treated control animals La Jolla's lead
product, GCS-100, showed a statistically significant reduction in
liver fibrosis, a statistically significant improvement in the
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease score and a statistically
significant improvement in liver function as measured by the liver
enzyme alanine transaminase, in some cases returning to near
normal levels.  The study was performed in collaboration with the
Stelic Institute & Co. (Tokyo, Japan) using an established,
benchmark preclinical STAM model for Non-alcoholic
Steatohepatitis-hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC).

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney
Diseases states that NASH affects between 7 million and 17.5
million Americans.  In addition, an estimated 5.5 million
Americans have chronic liver disease or cirrhosis.  Together
chronic liver disease and cirrhosis are currently the 12th leading
cause of death, accounting for approximately 27,000 deaths
annually, in the United States.  Chronic Liver disease affects
Americans of all ages and walks of life.

In the 12-week STAM model, NASH is established in mice by a single
subcutaneous injection of streptozotocin (Sigma, USA) after birth,
followed by the feeding of a high fat diet ad libitum after 4
weeks of age.  NASH develops at about week 7 with evidence of
fibrosis at week 9 and liver nodule formation at week 11-12.  In
the present study, mice were randomized at 9 weeks of age into 3
groups: a treated group which received 1 mg/kg GCS-100 IV, a
treated group which received 25 mg/kg GCS-100 IV, and a control
group which received inactive placebo.  All animals received their
respective administrations three times per week during weeks 9-12.
At the end of the 12 weeks, blood and tissue samples were
collected and analyzed for liver enzymes, NAFLD activity score,
and presence of fibrosis by microscopic inspection.  Animals in
the high-dose GCS-100 treatment group showed a statistically
significant improvement in all 3 of these efficacy measures.

"The results of this study demonstrate that GCS-100 is able to
prevent and potentially reverse chronic liver disease through the
remediation of fibrosis," said James Rolke, Senior Director of
Research and Development at La Jolla.  "In addition, the
significant improvement in liver function and NAFLD suggests a
preservation of functional tissue which is a clear clinical
objective and benefit."

Overall the treatment of GCS-100 in STAM mice was well tolerated.
The whole blood and plasma biochemistry results showed GCS-100
treatment decreased plasma ALT, but had no effect on blood glucose
levels.  Additionally, liver biochemistry showed GCS-100 decreased
the amount of hydroxyproline present.  Histological analysis
showed a significant improvement in NAFLD score with decreased
micro- and macrovesicular fat deposition, hepatocyte ballooning
and inflammatory cell infiltration.  Lastly, GCS-100 treated
animals showed a significant decrease in the fibrosis area as
measured by Sirius red staining.

"We are very pleased to see positive results from this preclinical
study supporting the therapeutic role of GCS-100 in liver
fibrosis," said George Tidmarsh, M.D. Ph.D., president and chief
executive officer of La Jolla.  "The liver disease program will
complement our other programs with GCS-100 in chronic organ
failure.  Patients with chronic liver disease are in need of novel
therapies to treat this terrible affliction and we plan to soon
file an IND with FDA for the treatment of liver disease."

                           About GCS-100

GCS-100 is a complex polysaccharide that has the ability to bind
to and block the effects of galectin-3.  Galectin-3 is a soluble
protein, over-expression of which has been implicated in a number
of human diseases including cancer and chronic organ failure.  The
unique ability of GCS-100 to bind and sequester galectin-3 makes
it an ideal candidate to prevent and treat diseases in which
galectin-3 plays an important role.

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 31, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Burbank, Calif.-
based LBI Media Inc. (LBI) to 'D' from 'CC'.

"The rating actions stem from LBI Media Holdings' disclosure that
it did not make the interest payment (about $3.8 million) on its
11% senior discount notes due Oct. 15, 2012, and after LBI
announced its eighth extension of its subpar debt exchange offer
for the 8.5% senior subordinated notes due 2017 and 11% senior
discount notes due 2013," S&P said.

In the April 5, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors
Service downgraded LBI Media, Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating (CFR)
and Probability-of-Default Rating (PDR) each to Caa2 from Caa1 and
downgraded debt instruments accordingly.  The downgrades follow
the company's earnings release for the 4th quarter of 2011 and
reflect weakened liquidity, revenue and EBITDA declines for radio
stations compounded by EBITDA declines for television operations,
and Moody's view that LBI's capital structure is unsustainable.
The rating outlook was changed to Negative from Stable.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 13, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Burbank, Calif.-
based LBI Media Inc. (LBI) to 'CC' from 'D'.

"We raised the corporate credit rating to 'CC' from 'D' based on
LBI Media Holdings' disclosure that it made the interest payment
(about $3.8 million) on its 11% senior discount notes and had
cured the default," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Minesh
Patel.


LDK SOLAR: Executes Supplemental Indenture to 2014 Senior Notes

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Barclays Defends $1.5 Billion From Brokerage
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Barclays Plc filed a 90-page brief urging the U.S.
Court of Appeals to uphold a ruling from June by U.S. District
Judge Katherine B. Forrest who concluded that the bankruptcy judge
was wrong in requiring Barclays to pay $1.5 billion to the trustee
for the brokerage subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

The report recounts that James W. Giddens, the Lehman brokerage
trustee, said in his brief that the Second Circuit appeals court
in Manhattan should reinstate a ruling from the bankruptcy judge
giving him $1.5 billion.  The London-based bank believes it's
entitled to keep the $1.5 billion and recover even more from the
Lehman trustee.

According to the report, the appeal revolves around a so-called
clarification letter that wasn't even written when the bankruptcy
judge approved sale of Lehman's North American brokerage business
to Barclays in September 2008.  Barclays says it paid $50 billion
for the Lehman brokerage "amidst a worldwide financial crisis."
Mr. Giddens argues that due process was violated because the
parties changed material terms of the sale without bankruptcy
court approval. Barclays noted in its brief last week how the
clarification letter was treated by the parties as part of the
agreement for a full year afterwards.

The Lehman trustee will file another brief. The date for oral
argument in the circuit court is yet to be fixed.

The Barclay appeal in the court of appeals is Giddens v.
Barclays Capital Inc. (In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.),
12-2328, U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals (Manhattan). The
Barclay appeal in district court was Barclays Capital Inc. v.
Giddens (In re Lehman Brothers Inc.), 11-6052, U.S. District
Court, Southern District New York.

LIFECARE HOLDINGS: UST Wants Patient Care Ombudsman
---------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that the U.S. Trustee assigned to the
LifeCare Holdings case filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court an
objection to the Debtors' motion for an order finding the
appointment of a patient care ombudsman unnecessary.

The U.S> Trustee asserts, "The Debtors have proposed a sale of
substantially all of their assets to an entity formed by a group
of lenders who are making a credit bid to purchase the assets for
approximately $335 million pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 363(k).
The APA gives the purchaser the right to exclude one facility by
giving notice ten days before the Bid Deadline.  Neither the
Motion nor the Bid Procedures Motion discloses what will happen to
an excluded facility, its records and, most importantly, its
patients," the report related.

The Trustee also filed an objection to the Debtors' motion for
entry of a final order to pay prepetition wages, compensation and
employee benefits, the report added.

Plymouth Meeting, Pa.-based Lithium Technology Corporation is a
mid-volume production stage company that develops large format
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries to be used as a new power
source for emerging applications in the automotive, stationary
power, and national security markets.

The Company was not able to file its annual report for the period
ended Dec. 31, 2011, and its quarterly reports for the succeeding
periods.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011, the Company reported a
net loss of $12.26 million on $6.06 million of total revenue.  The
Company reported a net loss of $7.25 million on $6.35 million
of products and services sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010,
compared with a net loss of $10.51 million on $7.37 million of
product and services sales during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2011, showed $8.83
million in total assets, $35.09 million in total liabilities and a

                          Going Concern

As reported by the TCR on April 8, 2011, Amper, Politziner &
Mattia, LLP, Edison, New Jersey, after auditing the Company's
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010, noted that
the Company has recurring losses from operations since inception
and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011, noted that the
Company's operating plan seeks to minimize its capital
requirements, but the expansion of its production capacity to meet
increasing sales and refinement of its manufacturing process and
equipment will require additional capital.

The Company raised capital through the sale of securities closing
in the second quarter of 2011 and realized proceeds from the
licensing of its technology pursuant to the terms of a licensing
agreement and the sale of inventory used in manufacturing its
batteries as part of the establishment of a joint venture in the
fourth quarter of 2011, but is continuing to seek other financing
initiatives and needs to raise additional capital to meet its
working capital needs, for the repayment of debt and for capital
expenditures.  Such capital is expected to come from the sale of
securities.  The Company believes that if it raises approximately
$4 million in additional debt and equity financings it would have
sufficient funds to meet its needs for working capital, capital
expenditures and expansion plans through the year ending Dec. 31,
2012.

No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
completing any financings at the minimum level necessary to fund
its capital equipment, debt repayment or working capital
requirements, or at all.  If the Company is unsuccessful in
completing these financings, it will not be able to meet its
working capital, debt repayment or capital equipment needs or
execute its business plan.  In that case the Company will assess
all available alternatives including a sale of its assets or
merger, the suspension of operations and possibly liquidation,
auction, bankruptcy, or other measures.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

LODGENET INTERACTIVE: S&P Cuts Corporate Credit Rating to 'D'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on Sioux Falls, S.D.-based LodgeNet
Interactive Corp. to 'D' from 'CC'.  The downgrade follows
the company's failure to make its Dec. 31, 2012, scheduled cash
interest payments on its revolving credit and term loan and
Dec. 31, 2012 term loan amortization payment.  The company has
received an extension on its forbearance agreement with its
secured lenders who have agreed to accept these payments in
kind and not to accelerate their claims until Feb. 5, 2013.

Under its criteria, S&P views the changing of the payment terms to
payment-in-kind (PIK) tantamount to a default, even with the
bank's consent.

"We view LodgeNet's heavily debt-burdened capital structure, and
weak operating trends as indications of financial distress," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Hal Diamond.  We assess
management and governance as "fair" as we believe there are
significant risks relating to its private-equity ownership," S&P
said.

Under the terms of the company's proposed recapitalization and
planned Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, LodgeNet's existing credit
agreement will be amended to provide an extension in the form of a
$346.4 million five-year term loan plus accrued interest that is
being capitalized prior to the closing date.  New investor Colony
Capital will invest $60 million in exchange for all the new
shares of common stock.  Holders of the existing series B
preferred stock and common stock will have their interests
cancelled. closing of the entire transaction is subject to lender
approval and bankruptcy court confirmation of a Chapter 11 Plan.


LON MORRIS: Jan. 14 Auction Covers 16 Asset Groups
--------------------------------------------------
On the surface, the upcoming bankruptcy auction of Lon Morris
College appears to be simply the sale of the school.  But when
bidders gather Jan. 14 in Dallas to bid on the properties, they'll
also be making offers on 16 different groupings of facilities and
land.

That means the college campus and related properties could sell to
one bidder or to as many as 16.  The auction will begin at 11:00
a.m. in the Dallas offices of McKool Smith PC.

"After weeks of hearing from prospective buyers and what their
needs are, we've organized the property by types of buildings. For
example, most of the classroom buildings, dormitories, cafeteria
and other facilities will sell as a single lot, which will
interest those seeking a location for a college or similar
property.  The Wilson Administration Center -- which is suitable
for use as a high-end office building or for executive education
-- will sell as part of the larger campus or as a one-building
lot, with surrounding land and parking," said Stephen Karbelk,
president of AmeriBid, the company marketing the campus and
preparing for the auction.

"We've sought to configure the property in such a way as to allow
the greatest possible participation.  Somebody might be interested
in the office space but not in classroom space, dorms or athletic
facilities," said Mr. Karbelk.  "Wilson Chapel and its parking
area could sell as a single lot and may well appeal to a church,
for example."

The athletic facilities will be packaged in several different
groupings, and several homes owned by the college are expected to
sell individually.

Mr. Karbelk said potential bidders include colleges, churches,
denominations, school systems, investors and others who might wish
to use all or parts of the property for education, business or a
mixed use development.

Individuals seeking additional information about the auction may
visit http://www.AmeriBid.comor call 877-895-7077.  Details about
the lots in which the campus will be offered are posted at that
website.

AmeriBid specializes in the sale of commercial and residential
real estate, land properties and other assets for lenders,
servicers, receivers, bankruptcy attorneys, estates, private
owners, investment companies and local, state and federal
government agencies.

religiously affiliated two-year degree granting institution.  Over
the past 158 years, the College has impacted the lives of
countless members of the local Jacksonville community in Texas.

Lon Morris College filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. E.D. Tex.
Case No. 12-60557) in Tyler, on July 2, 2012, after lacking enough
endowments to pay teachers, vendors and creditors.  In May 2012,
the Debtor missed two payrolls and vendor payables, utilities, and
long term debt were also past due.  From a headcount of 1,070 in
2010, enrolments have been down to 547 in 2012.  The president of
the College has resigned, as have members of the board of
trustees.

Judge Bill Parker oversees the case.  Bridgepoint Consulting LLC's
Dawn Ragan took over management of the College as chief
restructuring officer.  Attorneys at Webb and Associates, and

restricted funds, and $18 million in funded debt and $2 million in
trade and other liabilities.  The Debtor disclosed $29,957,488 in
assets and $15,999,058 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

of the properties.


LON MORRIS: Feb. 4 Plan Confirmation Hearing Set
------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has approved Lon Morris College's Third
Amended Disclosure Statement describing the Debtor's Third Amended
Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation.

The Court fixed Jan. 18, 2013, at 4:00 p.m., at the Voting
Deadline.  Written objections to confirmation of the proposed
Chapter 11 Plan must be filed by Jan. 18, 2013.  The confirmation
hearing will be held on Feb. 4, 2013, at 1:30 p.m.

The Plan contemplates an orderly and efficient liquidation of the
Debtor and its Property by the Plan Agent, Dawn Ragan of
Bridgepoint Consulting.  On the Effective Date, except as
otherwise provided in the Plan, title to all Property will vest in
the Debtor or other entity created by the Plan Agent, subject to
the Debtor's obligation to liquidate, transfer and convey all
Property constituting Property on behalf of the Creditor
Beneficiaries in accordance with the Plan.

Excepted from this liquidation are three main categories of assets
(1) rights against third parties, (2) rights to endowment money
and (3) rights to other real and personal property.  The Debtor
holds potential claims against insiders and third parties.  The
Debtor intends to pursue potential claims against insiders and
third parties in postconfirmation litigation.  The Debtor also
appears to have rights to money held in
endowments/foundations/trusts and/or similar entities.  It also
may have claims against the endowments/foundations/trusts and/or
their trustees for refusing to pay funds to the Debtor when
requested and the damages resulting from that decision.  The Texas
Attorney General anticipates disputing the Debtor's claim to money
held in endowments/foundations/trusts and/or similar entities.

The Debtor also holds other real and personal property, including
real estate interests in Houston Texas, potentially unencumbered
mineral interests, personal property, and other assets.
The Debtor anticipates that those interests will be resolved by
post-confirmation liquidation which will not require court
approval.

All of the non-Auctioned assets that provide funds will first be
applied to the Debtor's expenses and the remainder will be
distributed pro rata as set forth in the Plan.

The Plan segregates the various Claims against and Interests in
the Debtor into the following Classes:

Class 1   Allowed Secured Claims of Taxing Authorities
Class 2   Allowed Convenience Claims of Less than $1,000
Class 3A  Allowed Secured Claims of Amegy Bank
Class 3B  Allowed Secured Claims of TNB
Class 3C  Secured Claims of Tilley LLC
Class 3D  Allowed Secured Claims of the Scurlock Foundation
Class 3E  Secured Claims of Austin Bank, NA
Class 3F  Allowed Secured Claims of all other Secured Claimants
Class 4A  Allowed Priority Unsecured Non-Tax Claims
Class 4B  Allowed General Unsecured Claims
Class 5   Allowed Subordinated Claims
Class 6   Equity Interests

Except for Class 3C and 3E all classes of Claims are impaired
under the Plan and thus allowed to vote.  The Debtor is unaware of
any Equity Interests existing and therefore has not made provision
for them to receive any assets.

Amegy Bank (Class 3A)'s rights in its real estate collateral will
be modified as provided by the Plan such that a sale or
disposition will guarantee the proceeds are paid to the Plan Agent
to fund the Reserves.  Amegy Bank's real estate collateral will be
sold pursuant to the Auction Procedure.  If its real estate
collateral is sold as part of a Combined Parcel, Amegy Bank will
receive the proportional payment, net of sale expenses and
Reserves, on its Allowed Secured Claim up to the value of the real
estate collateral, said value to be established by the Auction
Procedure and the highest separate cash bid for the real estate
collateral at the no-reserve cash Auction (not permitting a credit
bid), conducted pursuant to the Auction Procedure, or

If its real estate collateral is sold as a Separate Parcel, Amegy
Bank will receive, as and when collected, the proceeds of its
collateral net of sale expenses and the proportional amount needed
to provide the Reserves, as sales are made or proceeds received by
the Plan Agent.

If not sold during the Sale Period, then Amegy bank will receive
its real estate collateral as satisfaction of its Allowed Secured
Claim on the real estate collateral, unless otherwise agreed.  Any
and all Cash Collateral of Amegy, net of sale expenses and
Reserves, will be distributed to Amegy as such Cash is received by
the Plan Agent until the Secured Claim of Amegy is satisfied.

Amegy Bank will not seek to exercise its rights and remedies
associated with its collateral until the expiration of the Sale
Period.

Any excess funds remaining from the Reserves after payment of
Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Professional Fees and
Allowed Priority Unsecured Claims will be paid to Amegy Pro Rata
based upon its and Scurlock's respective Claim amounts, up to the
amount of its Claim.

Class 4B Allowed General Unsecured Claims will be treated as
follows:
(i) Class 4 Claims will have a Beneficial Interest in Cash
generated by the Plan (subject to (iv) below);

(ii) Interest will accrue on the unpaid balance of Class 4B
Allowed Claims at 2% per annum, if Class 4B claims are fully paid;

(iii) Each holder of a Class 4B Allowed Claim will receive
Distributions of Available Cash on account of its Beneficial
Interest in accordance with this Plan; and

(iv) Each holder of a Class 4B Allowed Claim will receive pro rata
distributions after Allowed Claims in the previous classes are
paid, except Class 4B claims will also be entitled to receive a
pro rata distribution of the Unsecured Claims Reserve, after
satisfaction of the Class 2 convenience claims.

LSP ENERGY: Files Plan for Full Payment on Secured Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that LSP Energy LP has completed the sale of its 837-
megawatt electric generating plant and filed a proposed
liquidating Chapter 11 plan and explanatory disclosure statement
on Dec. 21.  The facility in Batesville, Mississippi, was sold to
South Mississippi Electric Power Assn. for $272.6 million.

According to the report, the plan calls for full payment in cash
to holders of $221.3 million in secured bonds.  As the result of a
settlement on the bondholders' additional claim for premature
payment, the holders will receive 15% of the $80 million make-
whole claim.  Unsecured creditors with $32 million in claims are
slated for a 43% recovery, according to the disclosure statement.

                         About LSP Energy

LSP Energy Limited owns and operates an electricity generation
facility located in Batesville, Mississippi.  The facility
consists of three gas-fired combined cycled electricity generators
with a total generating capacity of approximately 837 magawatts
and is electrically interconnected into the Entergy and Tennessee
Valley Authority transmission systems.

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

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

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

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

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

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

LSP has a $20 million secured loan provided by lenders including
John Hancock Financial Services Inc.  LSP was forced into
bankruptcy following mechanical problems that took one of three
units out of service.

Bondholders have claims for $211 million on two series of secured
bonds.  In addition, there was a $3.9 million working capital
facility and $23.3 million in secured debt owing to an affiliate
of Siemens AG, which repairs and maintains the facility.

The Court authorized the Debtors to sell of the facility to the
highest bidder South Mississippi Electic Power Association.

MF GLOBAL: Settlement Could Mean Full Payment Sooner
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reported Dec. 26 that according to an analysis by Kevin Starke
from CRT Capital Group LLC, the settlement that the trustee for
the MF Global Inc. brokerage announced in December means that
foreign and domestic commodity customers along with securities
customers will receive full payment "sooner rather than later."

According to the report, claimants whose recoveries remain up in
the air include general unsecured creditors with claims against
the MF Global brokerage.  Mr. Starke, a managing director at CRT
in Stamford, Connecticut, said in a Dec. 24 report that his mid-
case recovery for brokerage unsecured creditors is now 67%, with
full recovery at the high end.

The lack of full recovery is a result of general unsecured claims
given in the settlement to Louis Freeh, the Chapter 11 trustee for
the MF Global holding company.  At the holding company, Mr. Starke
said the "swing factor" for recovery by bondholders is the extent
of the shortfall on customer claims to be made up from other
assets. The larger the shortfall, Mr. Starke explained, the lower
bondholders' recovery.

Mr. Starke is still saying that the mid-case recovery for
bondholders is 35%.  Mr. Starke lowered the high-end bondholder
recovery to 94% for 100%.  For bank claims against the holding
company, Mr. Starke is estimating the recovery at 63% to full
payment.

James Giddens, the trustee for the MF Global broker under the
Securities Investor Protection Act, made settlements with the
joint special administrators for the U.K. brokerage affiliate and
with Freeh, the separate trustee for the holding company.  The
settlements come up for approval on Jan. 31 at a hearing in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in New York.  At the same hearing, Giddens will
ask the judge for authority to make additional distributions. He
hasn't yet laid out details on exactly how much customers and
creditors will receive by virtue of the settlements.

Charles C. Baum has informed Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC,
regarding his retirement from the Board of Directors on Jan. 1,

                     About Municipal Mortgage

Baltimore, Md.-based Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (Pink
Sheets: MMAB) -- http://www.munimae.com/-- was organized in 1996
as a Delaware limited liability company and is classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes.

When the Company became a publicly traded company in 1996, it was
primarily engaged in originating, investing in and servicing tax-
exempt mortgage revenue bonds issued by state and local government
authorities to finance affordable multifamily housing
developments.  Since then, the Company made several acquisitions
that significantly expanded its business.  However, in 2008, due
to the financial crisis, the Company began contracting its
business.

The Company has sold, liquidated or closed down all of its
different businesses except for its bond investing activities and
certain assets and residual interests related to the businesses
and assets that the Company sold due to its liquidity issues.

The Company has a majority position in International Housing
Solutions S.a.r.l., a partnership that was formed to promote and
invest in affordable housing in overseas markets.  In addition, at
Dec. 31, 2010, the Company has an unfunded equity commitment of
$5.1 million, or 2.67% of total committed capital with respect to
its role as the general partner to the South Africa Workforce
Housing Fund SA I ("SA Fund").  The SA Fund was formed to invest
directly or indirectly in housing development projects and housing
sector companies in South Africa.  A portion of the funding of SA
Fund is participating debt provided by the United States Overseas
Private Investment Corporation, a federal government entity, and
the remainder is equity primarily invested by institutional and
large private investors.  The Company expects to continue this
business.

In the auditors' report accompanying the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, KPMG LLP, in
Baltimore, Maryland, expressed substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has been negatively impacted by
the deterioration of the capital markets and has liquidity issues
which have resulted in the Company having to sell assets and work
with its creditors to restructure or extend its debt arrangements.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $1.85
billion in total assets, $1.12 billion in total liabilities and
$723.23 million in total equity.

MW GROUP: BofA Objects to Entry Into Energy Grant Program
---------------------------------------------------------
MW Group, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of North Carolina for the entry of an order authorizing
(I) the continued use of cash collateral of Bank of America, N.A.,
as successor-in-interest to LaSalle Bank National Association, on
the terms of set forth in the Final Cash Collateral Order, (ii)
the supplemental use of cash collateral to make certain repairs
and improvements to the Property, and (iii) the Debtor to enter
into one or more energy grant agreements with the City of
Charlotte.

Although the Debtor's use of cash collateral did not expire under
the terms of the Final Cash Collateral Order, entered Feb. 16, the
budget only extended through May 31, 2012.  As a result, the
Debtor and the Bank have executed a series of consent orders
extending the Debtor's use of cash collateral.  Pursuant to the
Fourth Supplemental Consent Order, the Debtor's existing use of
cash collateral expired on Oct. 31, 2012.

                             Objection

Bank of America objects to the proposed use of cash collateral to
pay for the Project Costs for several reasons:

   -- First, Debtor created a "false" emergency for an issue that
it could have raised in September 2012 (as Debtor submitted its
application during the first week of October 2012).  Debtor could
have provided sufficient lead time for Bank to review its
proposals, request additional information about said proposals,
and engage in dialogue about the proposals and their alleged
positive impact on the Property.  Instead, Debtor's counsel
requested an immediate response to Debtor's proposed use of cash
collateral.  When Bank responded in a manner fitting the time
schedule, Debtor never responded to Bank's proposal, but instead
filed the instant Motion on an emergency basis.

   -- Second, the Debtor mischaracterizes Bank's position on its
request. Bank was never given an actual opportunity to consider
the proposed request and did not engage in actual dialogue with
Debtor about the request.  Bank did request that Debtor's
equityholders pay for the difference between the total Project
Costs and the potential reimbursement from the City.  Debtor never
actually declined Bank's proposal or explained why Debtor's
equityholders would not or could not pay for these costs.
Consequently, Debtor's statement that "Bank would not agree to
allow the Debtor to use cash collateral to make the aforementioned
repairs and improvements unless the Debtor's members paid the
difference between the Project Costs and the amount of the
reimbursement from the City" is not correct, because Debtor never
actually engaged Bank in dialogue after Debtor's equityholders
apparently rejected Bank's proposal.

   -- Third, the Debtor has yet to provide full support for the
request or demonstrated how the use of cash collateral will affect
Debtor's ongoing operations and budgets.  Debtor has also not
provided Bank or this Court with any proposed budgets for the time
period in which Debtor would pay the Project Costs.

   -- Fourth, the Debtor has not proven that the proposed use of
cash collateral will actually increase the value of the Property
or its ability to lease the Property.

   -- Fifth, the Debtor has not established when or if it will
receive repayment from the City.  From the Motion, it appears that
Debtor is still awaiting approval from the City as to its grant
applications.

   -- Finally, the Debtor has not properly complied with either
the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules in seeking relief.
While it vaguely cites to Bankruptcy Code Section 363 in the
preamble to its Motion, Debtor does not provide proper support for
its request under Section 363, or why it did not provide proper
notice under Bankruptcy Rule 2002.

For these reasons, the Bank says the Court should deny Debtor's
Motion as it pertains to the entry into the energy grant program
and payment of the proposed Project Costs.

NAKNEK ELECTRIC: Wants 7th Extension to Use Cash Collateral

Finance Corporation through August 2013.  The Court previously
authorized the Debtor to use up to $300,155 of Cash Collateral and
any other cash in its possession, solely for the purpose of paying
Debtor's Chapter 11 operating expenses.

The Debtor has prepared a budget that separately projects the
payments the Debtor makes to Rural Utilities Services (RUS) on its
present loans, National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance
Corporation (CFC) on the $1.5 million DIP loan, and CFC on the DIP
Fuel Loan.  The Debtor is current on its RUS and CFC loans through
December 31, 2012.  The Debtor has said it would start December
2012 with approximately $234,851 of cash.

Until its Plan is confirmed, the Debtor will continue to need to
use cash collateral to produce electricity.  The proposed budget
adequately provides for ongoing operational costs, CFC and RUS
debt service, and the anticipated DIP loan for the 2013-2014 fuel
purchase.  It also adequately provides for payment of all
administrative expenses through the scheduled period.  The Debtor
anticipates that it will confirm a plan of reorganization during
this budget period and that there are sufficient funds available
in the later months of this budget to complete payment of
obligations which would become due on the effective date of the
Debtor's proposed plan.

NAKNEK ELECTRIC: Disclosure Statement Hearing on Jan. 14
--------------------------------------------------------
Naknek Electric Association, Inc., has filed a second amended
disclosure statement in support of its plan of reorganization.

Under the proposed plan, the Debtor will use cash on hand and
current revenues to satisfy claims required by law to be paid on
the Effective Date of the Plan, including administrative and
priority expenses (other than certain post-petition financing
which will be paid out over time by agreement of the lender, the
National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC).

The Debtor will honor its remaining secured financing obligations
to the Rural Utilities Services.  All other secured claims have
been resolved in accordance with the Geothermal Assets
Transaction.

The Debtor will dedicate a portion of the utility rates it
recovers from its members over the next 20 years to satisfy its
unsecured creditors' claims or afford them an opportunity for a
one-time payment on or before 180 days following the effective
date

The Debtor will preserve the interests of its members, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan.

The Debtor will plug and abandon the geothermal well in the spring
of 2013 with equipment provided by Baker Process, Inc. and with
the $500,000 now held in the plug and abandonment escrow.  Classes
2 and 6, Baker Hughes and BJ Services, will received nothing under
the Plan and those Claims will either be disallowed or withdrawn.
The Secured Claims of the mining lien claims in Classes 3, 4, 5,
7, 8 and 9 will be paid pursuant to the terms of the Geothermal
Asset Transaction.  These classes could participate in Class 10,
Unsecured, if their mining liens are not paid in full from drill
rig sale proceeds.  Any residual lien the Classes have will be
voided in the Order of Confirmation and each Claim will retain a
contingent Unsecured Claim until final payment under the
Geothermal Assets Transaction.

The Secured Claims of the four original mechanic liens (Class 4
Centrifuge, Class 7 BC Contractors, Class 8 Tecton, and Class 9
Workstring) retain their liens against the Geothermal Real
Property and may executed against the Geothermal Real Property or
choose to participate in Class 10, Unsecured, up to the amount of
its Allowed Claim which remains unpaid from the Geothermal Assets
Transaction.  Each Claim in Class 10, Unsecured, will be paid
according to its election.  Each claim in Class 10 will received
payments on its Allowed Claim for 20 years, or choose to reduce
its claim for one cash payment in 2013 which will exceed what it
would otherwise receive over a number of years under the Plan.

The hearing on the disclosure statement is scheduled for Jan. 14,
2013, at 10:00 A.M.

NATIONAL HOLDINGS: Incurs $1.9 Million Net Loss in Fiscal 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------
National Holdings Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing
a net loss of $1.93 million on $118.64 million of total revenues
for the year ended Sept. 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of
$4.71 million on $126.52 million of total revenues during the
prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $16.58
million in total assets, $19.48 million in total liabilities and a
$2.89 million total stockholders' deficit.

National Holdings Corporation reported a net loss of $1.93 million
on $118.64 million of revenue for the 12 months ended Sept. 30,
2012, compared with a net loss of $4.71 million on $126.52 million
of revenue for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2011.  The Company
incurred a net loss of $6.6 million on $111.0 million on total
revenues for fiscal 2010.

The decrease in overall revenues which is primarily due to less
favorable retail market conditions for corporate securities
resulting in a lower volume of transactions made on behalf of the
Company's clients, is offset by an increase of 122% in the
Company's investment banking revenues and 7% in investment
advisory fees.

"We are very pleased that we generated a positive adjusted EBITDA
of $1,529,000...for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012,
despite this very challenging environment.  This represents an
improvement of $1,410,000, despite nearly $7.9 million of lower
revenues and the best adjusted EBITDA performance by the Company
in over four years," stated Mark Goldwasser, chief executive
officer.  "We remain committed to managing our overhead and
streamlining our brokerage operations.  We will continue to focus
on corporate finance and the expansion of our independent network
of brokers and advisors through organic growth and the addition of
new branches and large OSJ's."

"We are making progress in moving our business mix and margins in
the right direction," stated Robert Fagenson, executive co-
chairman.  "With market conditions and investor confidence still
going through an extremely difficult period, our team has done an
outstanding job in cost cutting and maintaining positive EBITDA.
Our strong retail distribution network continues to expand and
bolster the growth of our syndicate, market making, investment
banking and investment advisory services."

Sherb & Co., LLP, in Boca Raton, Florida, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Sept. 30, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has incurred significant losses and has a working
capital deficit as of Sept. 30, 2012, that raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Our independent public accounting firm has issued an opinion on
our consolidated financial statements that states that the
consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming we will
continue as a going concern and further states that our recurring
losses from operations, stockholders' deficit and inability to
generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain
our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.  Our future is dependent on our
ability to sustain profitability and obtain additional financing.
If we fail to do so for any reason, we would not be able to
continue as a going concern and could potentially be forced to
seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."

OLD CUTTERS: Annexation Fee, Community Housing Provisions Invalid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Jim D. Pappas ruled that the annexation fee and
community housing provisions of an Annexation, Services and
Development Agreement between Old Cutters, Inc., and the City of
Hailey, are unenforceable.

Old Cutters and its principal creditor, Mountain West Bank,
commenced adversary proceedings against the City to determine the
status and extent of Hailey's claims against Old Cutters.

Judge Pappas granted MWB's motion requesting summary judgment
disallowing Hailey's proof of claim in the bankruptcy case.
However, MWB's motion for summary judgment declaring Hailey's lien
unenforceable under the Idaho statute of frauds and mortgage
statutes is denied.

In 2003 and 2005, Old Cutters purchased and assembled a tract of
real property in Blaine County, Idaho, that was contiguous to
Hailey's city boundaries.  Old Cutters acquired the Property
intending to subdivide and develop it as a residential planned
unit development.  The total purchase price of the Property was
$6.2 million, and Old Cutters' acquisition was financed through
cash contributions from its principal, John Campbell and his
company, COR, LLC, together with a $4.4 million bank loan made to
Old Cutters.

In connection with its development planning, Old Cutters
investigated various options for providing water and sewer
services to the project.  One option was to develop the Property
in Blaine County, but this would require Old Cutters to construct
a pocket sewage treatment plant for the new housing.  Another
option was to seek annexation of the Property into Hailey so the
development and the homes to be constructed could access city
water and sewer services.

After several meetings and negotiations between Old Cutters' and
Hailey's representatives, the parties settled on $3,787,500 as the
amount of the annexation fee to be paid by Old Cutters to Hailey.
The parties executed the Annexation Agreement on April 6, 2006.

In December 2005, Hailey had adopted what it called an
"Inclusionary Community Housing Ordinance".  According to the ICH
Ordinance, all new residential developments of five lots or more
were required to dedicate at least 20% of the total lots to what
it defined as affordable housing.  Old Cutters intended to develop
up to a total 149 residential units on the Property, and the
parties documented how Old Cutters intended to meet the
requirements of the ICH Ordinance in the Annexation Agreement. The
Annexation Agreement committed Old Cutters to develop 25 community
housing units.

Presumably motivated by the adverse decisions of two state
district courts holding that similar community housing ordinances
were invalid, Hailey repealed the ICH Ordinance in 2010.  However,
although Old Cutters requested it do so, Hailey refused to amend
the Annexation Agreement to release Old Cutters from the community
housing requirements, citing a waiver provision.  Hailey did,
however, agree to remove similar community housing requirement it
had imposed for development of a subdivision known as Sweetwater.

Other than Blaine County's claims for unpaid real estate taxes,
only three parties asserted creditor claims in Old Cutters'
bankruptcy case.  Old Cutters Investment, LLC, filed an unsecured
claim for $8,314,446, arising out of a "real estate sale."  MWB
filed a claim for $9,227,327 secured by the Property.  Hailey
filed a claim for $2,579,855, based on the Annexation Agreement,
secured by "Market Rate Lots."

After several attempts to obtain approval of a debt-repayment
plan, all of which generated objections from Hailey, the parties
achieved a consensus, and on Dec. 18, 2012, the Court confirmed
Old Cutters' Second Amended Plan of Reorganization.  The confirmed
plan takes into account resolution of the Debtor's and the bank's
adversary proceeding.

The cases are: Old Cutters, Inc., Plaintiff, v. City of Hailey,
Defendant; and Mountain West Bank, Plaintiff, v. City of Hailey,
Defendant, Adv. Proc. Nos. 11-8105-JDP., 11-8106-JDP (Bankr. D.
Idaho).  A copy of the Court's Dec. 31, 2012 Memorandum of
Decision is available at http://is.gd/i1jF29from Leagle.com.

Old Cutters, Inc., the corporation behind the struggling Old
Cutters subdivision east of Hailey, Idaho, filed a Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. D. Id. Case No. 11-41261) on Aug. 1, 2011.
Joseph M. Meier, Esq., at Cosho Humphrey, LLP, in Boise, Idaho,
serves as counsel.  The Debtor disclosed $3,001,993 in assets and
$20,671,830 in liabilities.


OMEGA NAVIGATION: Hearing on Use of Cash Collateral Tomorrow
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas
continued until Jan. 9, 2013, at 2 p.m., the hearing to consider
Baytown Navigation Inc., et al.'s request for use of cash
collateral of existing secured lenders.  The hearing was continued
from Dec. 13, 2012.

HSH Nordbank AG, as agent, asserts that pursuant to the senior
facilities agreement and the other senior facilities documents,
the Debtors are indebted to the senior facilities lenders in the
principal amount of US$242,720,000, plus accrued and accruing
interest and all other amounts.   The junior lenders assert a
lien on inter alia, the ships, all cash collateral and all
prepetition collateral pursuant to a $42,500,000 loan dated
March 27, 2008.

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

   -- make adequate protection payments;

   -- grant the lenders adequate protection liens in all of their
      rights, title and interest in their property, and a
      superpriority administrative expense claim status, subject
      to carve out.

   -- provide continued maintenance of, and insurance on, the
      ships and all of their other assets and property,
      consistent with the Debtors' prepetition practices.

agent.  Before bankruptcy, Omega sued the senior bank lenders in
Greece contending they violated an agreement to grant a three
year extension on a loan that otherwise matured in April 2011.

An affiliate of Omega that manages the vessels didn't file, nor
did affiliates with partial ownership interests in other vessels.

Judge Karen K. Brown presides over the case.  Bracewell &
Giuliani LLP serves as counsel to the Debtors.  Jefferies &
Company, Inc., is the financial advisor and investment banker.

                   About Real Estate Associates

Real Estate Associates Limited VII is a limited partnership which
was formed under the laws of the State of California on May 24,
1983.  On February 1, 1984, the Partnership offered 2,600 units
consisting of 5,200 limited partnership interests and warrants to
purchase a maximum of 10,400 additional limited partnership
interests through a public offering managed by E.F. Hutton Inc.
The Partnership received $39,000,000 in subscriptions for units of
limited partnership interests (at $5,000 per unit) during the
period from March 7, 1984 to June 11, 1985.

The Partnership will be dissolved only upon the expiration of 50
complete calendar years -- December 31, 2033 -- from the date of
the formation of the Partnership or the occurrence of various
other events as specified in the Partnership agreement.  The
principal business of the Partnership is to invest, directly or
indirectly, in other limited partnerships which own or lease and
operate Federal, state and local government-assisted housing
projects.

The general partners of the Partnership are National Partnership
Investments Corp., a California Corporation, and National
Partnership Investments Associates II.  The business of the
Partnership is conducted primarily by NAPICO, a subsidiary of
Apartment Investment and Management Company, a publicly traded
real estate investment trust.

The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 11 local
limited partnerships as of both March 31, 2010, and December 31,
2009.  The Partnership also holds a general partner interest in
Real Estate Associates IV, which, in turn, holds limited
partnership interests in nine additional Local Limited
Partnerships; therefore, the Partnership holds interests, either
directly or indirectly through REA IV, in 20 Local Limited
Partnerships.  The general partner of REA IV is NAPICO.  The Local
Limited Partnerships own residential low income rental projects
consisting of 1,387 apartment units at both March 31, 2010, and
December 31, 2009.  The mortgage loans of these projects are
payable to or insured by various governmental agencies.

The Partnership reported a net loss of $861,000 on $0 of revenue
in 2011, compared with net income of $171,000 on $0 of revenue in
2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $1.1 million
in total assets, $13.3 million in total liabilities, and a total
partners' deficit of $12.2 million.

                           Going Concern

The Partnership continues to generate recurring operating losses.
In addition, the Partnership is in default on notes payable and
related accrued interest payable that matured between December
1999 and January 2012.

Four of the Partnership's five remaining investments involved
purchases of partnership interests from partners who subsequently
withdrew from the operating partnership.  As of June 30, 2012, and
Dec. 31, 2011, the Partnership was obligated for non-recourse
notes payable of $4,463,000 and $6,070,000, respectively, to the
sellers of the partnership interests, bearing interest at 9.5% to
10%.  Total outstanding accrued interest is $11,323,000 and
$15,215,000 at June 30, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2011, respectively.
These obligations and the related interest are collateralized by
the Partnership's investment in the local limited partnerships and
are payable only out of cash distributions from the Local Limited
Partnerships.  Unpaid interest was due at maturity of the notes.
All of the notes payable have matured and remain unpaid at June
30, 2012.

No payments were made on the notes payable during the six months
ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.  As a result, there is substantial
doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going
concern.

After auditing the 2011 results, Ernst & Young LLP, in
Greenville, South Carolina, expressed substantial doubt about the
Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that the Partnership continues to
generate recurring operating losses.  In addition, notes payable
and related accrued interest totalling $16.2 million are in
default due to non-payment.

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Ally Seeks to Halt Class Suit
--------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Ally Financial Inc., the nonbankrupt parent of
bankrupt Residential Capital LLC, filed papers in bankruptcy court
aimed at halting a class suit for violation of the so-called
automatic stay.

The report relates that Ally was named as a defendant by mortgage
borrowers in a class suit filed in September in U.S. district
court in New York. The suit alleged various violations of law in
connection with so-called forced-placed insurance.  The plaintiffs
made Ally a defendant on the theory it is the so-called alter ego
for ResCap, Ally's mortgage servicing subsidiary. The complaint
also contends that the district court should pierce the corporate
veil and make Ally liable for ResCap's debts.

According to the report, in papers filed Dec. 21 in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in New York, Ally argues that the suit violates
the automatic stay in bankruptcy halting suits involving a
bankrupt company like ResCap or its property.  Ally contends in
the papers that veil piercing and alter ego claims belong to
ResCap and therefore can't be prosecuted by class-actions
plaintiffs without violating the automatic stay.

At a hearing Feb. 28, Ally wants the bankruptcy court either to
halt the suit under the automatic stay or say the suit was void
from the outset.

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Court Approves Ally's $8.9MM Admin. Claim
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Martin Glenn authorized Residential Capital LLC and its
affiliates to reimburse Ally Financial Inc. for payments made to
the Debtors' employees on account of deferred cash issued as part
of those employees' compensation on or after the Petition Date.
AFI will be granted an $8.9 million administrative claim on behalf
of the postpetition salary AFI gave to three senior executives of
the Debtors.

Historically, the Debtors reimbursed AFI for the payroll and
compensation amounts AFI paid directly to the Debtors' employees
on the Debtors' behalf.  This reimbursement included sums on
account of cash payments made to the Debtors' employees for
compensation that was delayed pursuant to Troubled Asset Relief
Program (TARP) in the form of deferred stock units ("DSUs" or
"Salary Stock").

As of the Petition Date, 81 current and former employees had
compensation awards, in the form of both deferred cash and Salary
Stock, which will become due and owing over the course of these
Chapter 11 cases.  Upon seeking bankruptcy protection, the
Debtors stopped reimbursing AFI for the amounts owing to their
employees on account of prepetition-issued compensation.  AFI and
the Debtors not only disputed which entity was responsible for
funding the approximately $48.9 million owed to the Debtors'
employees on account of prepetition-issued compensation that is
monetized on a postpetition basis but also AFI's implementation
of the letters issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office
of the Special Master for the Debtors' employees.

However, in an effort to avoid drawn-out and disruptive
litigation over those matters, the parties ultimately agreed that
AFI would implement the term of the OSM Letters and also fund all
compensation amounts owed to the Debtors' employees
(approximately4 $48.9 million) for equity and deferred cash
issued prepetition.  The parties also agreed that the Debtors
would reimburse AFI solely for all postpetition issued Salary
Stock to the Debtors' three most senior executives, which
comprises a significant portion of their salary and is estimated
to be approximately $8.9 million.

The Debtors are also authorized to provide a release to AFI and
its shareholders and subsidiaries from all claims and causes of
action arising from the employment by AFI of any of the employees
or arising from payments owed to the employees on account of
employment by AFI, Residential Capital, LLC, and any of its
subsidiaries.

REVEL AC: Wins Additional $150 Million Financing
------------------------------------------------
Revel AC, Inc., completed an amendment to its existing revolving
credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative
agent, and the lenders and financial institutions party thereto.
The amendment provides for the addition of a new $125 million term
loan under the facility and an increase of $25 million in the
existing revolving commitments.  A portion of the proceeds of the
new term loan were used by the Company to reduce amounts
outstanding under its existing revolving credit facility.  As
previously announced, the Company intends to use the incremental
funds to support Revel's strategic growth plans, and to provide
additional capital for liquidity and funding for certain gaming
projects at its resort in Atlantic City.

Kevin DeSanctis, Revel's Chairman and CEO said, "We appreciate the
continued support and confidence of our investors, who have
demonstrated a strong belief in our business model.  This
additional funding will enable us to execute our strategic build-
out of exciting new gaming, food and beverage, and entertainment
amenities.  These new offerings will allow us to enhance and
improve both the gaming and leisure experience for our customers."

The Company announced plans to build a new high limit slot ultra-
lounge, an expanded players club, a three meal restaurant
accessible to a broader audience and plans to expand the Company's
quick-serve food options.

Mr. DeSanctis also said, "Our existing product offering has
allowed us to drive significant non-gaming revenues, particularly
in the group and leisure segments.  In terms of performance, the
gaming segment is clearly the area where we need to see
improvement and is our primary focus.  We believe these new and
expanded gaming offerings, combined with newly appointed
leadership, specifically in our slot marketing area, will generate
significant improvement in our overall gaming volumes,
particularly as we enter into the Spring and Summer seasons."

Darlene Monzo, Senior Vice-President of Marketing added, "From a
gaming perspective, we are excited to reintroduce our new gaming
and loyalty program to the market, and coupled with these exciting
new gaming amenities, I am quite confident the steps we are taking
will result in significant improvements in our market share."

RP CROWN: S&P Assigns 'B' Corp. Credit Rating, Stable Outlook
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a 'B' corporate credit
rating to RP Crown Parent LLC.  The outlook is stable.

"In addition, we assigned a 'B+' issue-level rating to the
company's $1.45 billion senior secured first-lien term loan due
2018, and $100 million revolving credit facility due 2017.  The
'2' recovery rating indicates our expectation of substantial
recovery (70% to 90%) in the event of payment default.  We also
assigned a 'CCC+' issue-level rating to the company's senior
secured second-lien term loan due 2019.  The '6' recovery rating
indicates our expectation of negligible recovery (0% to 10%) in
the event of payment default," S&P said.

The company used the proceeds, along with cash and new equity, to
acquire all outstanding shares of JDA common stock, repay debt at
RedPrairie and JDA, and pay transaction costs.

"Our ratings on RP Crown Parent reflect the combined company's
'fair' business risk profile resulting from its narrow product
focus, its competitive market segment, and near-term integration
risk, as well as its 'highly leveraged' financial risk profile
with pro forma leverage above 8x and modest free cash flow
expected in 2013," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christian
Frank.  These factors are offset in part by meaningful recurring
revenues and the company's diverse and entrenched customer base,
which we expect will allow it to deliver modest revenue growth.
We expect meaningful cost synergies in 2013 to result in leverage
in the mid- to- high-7x area", S&P noted.

The merger combines JDA's strength in supply chain planning
(demand forecasting and pricing) and RedPrairie's supply chain
execution capabilities (warehouse, workforce, transportation, and
multichannel management) to create the number three competitor in
the market for SCM software and position it as a best-of-breed,
end-to-end solution with strength in retail and manufacturing.
The company will be led by the JDA CEO, who has a track record of
successfully integrating large-scale acquisitions such as
Manugistics in 2006 and i2 in 2010.  Competition in the SCM
software market is intense with SAP and Oracle holding meaningful
market share, while the rest of the market is highly fragmented.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the company's
recurring revenue base will allow it to deliver modest revenue
growth, and that realized cost synergies will result in leverage
in the mid- to high-7x area.  The possibility of an upgrade is
limited by the company's highly leveraged financial profile and
modest expected free cash flow in 2013," S&P noted.

"We could lower the rating if the company does not deleverage from
pro forma levels in 2013 due to integration challenges,
macroeconomic headwinds, or increased competition.  We could also
lower the rating if these factors lead to negative free cash flow
or inadequate liquidity," S&P added.


SAN BERNARDINO, CA: Calpers Fails to Persuade Judge on Payments
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the California Public Employees' Retirement System
failed to persuade the bankruptcy judge that San Bernardino,
California, must immediately make payments toward the municipal
workers' pension fund notwithstanding the city's bankruptcy.  The
city had said it cannot both pay the pension system and still have
enough cash to cover workers' salaries.

The report relates that in Calpers' favor, the bankruptcy judge in
Riverside, California, said payments not made to the pension
system during bankruptcy may have the status of claims arising
after the Chapter 9 filing to be paid in cash when the city
emerges from bankruptcy protection.  The judge said she will hold
a hearing later on the issue and have both sides file papers
laying out their legal arguments.

                      About San Bernardino

San Bernardino, California, filed an emergency petition for
municipal bankruptcy under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 12-28006) on Aug. 1, 2012.  San
Bernardino, a city of about 210,000 residents roughly 65 miles
(104 km) east of Los Angeles, estimated assets and debts of more
than $1 billion in the bare-bones bankruptcy petition.

The city council voted on July 10, 2012, to file for bankruptcy.
The move lets San Bernardino bypass state-required mediation with
creditors and proceed directly to U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The city is represented that Paul R. Glassman, Esq., at Stradling
Yocca Carlson & Rauth.

San Bernardino joined two other California cities in bankruptcy:
Stockton, an agricultural center of 292,000 east of San Francisco,
and Mammoth Lakes, a mountain resort town of 8,200 south of
Yosemite National Park.


SANUWAVE HEALTH: David Nemelka Discloses 23.5% Equity Stake
-----------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, David N. Nemelka disclosed that, as of
Nov. 27, 2012, he beneficially owns 5,958,033 shares of common
stock of Sanuwave Health, Inc., representing 23.5% of the shares
outstanding.  A copy of the filing is available for free at:

                       About SANUWAVE Health

Alpharetta, Ga.-based SANUWAVE Health, Inc., is an emerging global
regenerative medicine company focused on the development and
commercialization of noninvasive, biological response activating
devices for the repair and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal
and vascular structures.

BDO USA, LLP, in Atlanta, Georgia, expressed substantial doubt
about SANUWAVE's ability to continue as a going concern, following
the Company's results for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2011.
The independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and is economically dependent
upon future issuances of equity or other financing to fund ongoing
operations.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2012, the Company reported a
net loss of $4.70 million on $627,153 of revenue, compared with a
net loss of $7.82 million on $577,180 of revenue for the same
period a year ago.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $2.28
million in total assets, $7.80 million in total liabilities and a
$5.52 million total stockholders' deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"The continuation of our business is dependent upon raising
additional capital.  We expect to devote substantial resources to
continue our research and development efforts, including clinical
trials.  Because of the significant time it will take for our
products to complete the clinical trial process, and for us to
obtain approval from regulatory authorities and successfully
commercialize our products, we will require substantial additional
capital.  We incurred a net loss of $4,707,212 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 and a net loss of $10,238,797 for the
year ended December 31, 2011.  These operating losses create
uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.  As
of September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$361,263.  We are working with select accredited investors to
raise up to $1.25 million in capital in a private placement.  The
accredited investors will receive a convertible promissory note
that will convert, at the Company?s option, at the completion of a
larger funding which is expected to close no later than the first
quarter of 2013.  If these efforts are unsuccessful, we may be
forced to seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code," the Company said in its quarterly report for the period
ended Sept. 30, 2012.

TELVUE CORP: Halts Filing of Reports With SEC
---------------------------------------------
TelVue Corporation filed a Form 15 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to voluntarily suspend its obligations to file
certain reports with the SEC, including annual, quarterly, and
current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and Form 8-K, respectively.
After thoughtful and deliberate consideration, the Company's board
of directors made this unanimous decision based upon a thorough
review of the associated costs and benefits of being an SEC
reporting company and the underlying regulatory reporting
obligations.  The Company believes that the incremental cost of
compliance with SEC public reporting requirements does not provide
a discernible benefit to the Company and its stockholders at this
time, given the extremely low trading volumes in the Company's
stock, and believes that at this stage in its development the
attention and resources that are currently dedicated to SEC
reporting compliance would be better devoted to growing the
business.

Jesse Lerman, CEO of TelVue, said, "After a thorough review of the
costs and benefits of compliance with a heavy SEC compliance load
relative to our size and stage of development, we have decided
that it is in the interests of the Company and our stockholders to
suspend our filing obligations.  This will allow TelVue to focus
more of its energy and resources on attaining our growth and
profitability goals."  TelVue expects to take steps to maintain
its ability to reactivate its SEC reporting at relatively low
cost, if such conditions render this advantageous.  TelVue plans
to continue to provide summary financial statements to those
shareholders of record who request to continue to receive them.

The Company also removed from registration the common stock
issuable under the 2009 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option
Plan that remained unsold as of Dec. 26, 2012.

Corp., in San Diego, expressed substantial doubt about Therapeutic
Solutions' ability to continue as a going concern.  The
independent auditors noted that under the New License Agreement
the Company's rights to sell Anterior Midpoint Stop Appliances to
the US market (81% of total revenue) will expire at the end of

TMM HOLDINGS: S&P Puts 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating on CreditWatch
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B+' corporate
credit rating (CCR) on TMM Holdings L.P. (Taylor Morrison) on
CreditWatch with positive implications.  Our 'BB-' issue-level
rating on the company's unsecured senior notes remains unchanged.

"Since our recovery criteria generally limits recovery ratings on
unsecured debt issued by corporate entities with corporate credit
ratings of 'BB-' or higher to no higher than a '3' recovery
rating, we would not expect Taylor Morrison's issue-level ratings
to change if we raise our CCR on the company.  However, while we
expect that Taylor Morrison will likely implement capital
structure changes in conjunction with its IPO that may impact
recovery prospects, we do not currently expect these changes to
affect our issue-level ratings, including a downgrade below the
corporate credit rating," S&P said.

"The positive CreditWatch placement follows the recent filing of
an S-1 registration statement with the SEC, indicating the
homebuilder's intention to raise equity through an initial public
offering.  The company will use proceeds from the proposed equity
offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, which
may include the repayment or repurchases of debt and to fund
acquisitions," said credit analyst Susan Madison

"We plan to resolve the CreditWatch placement once Taylor Morrison
has completed its IPO and finalized its capital structure.  The
CreditWatch placement reflects our expectation that we could raise
our CCR on Taylor Morrison by one notch if the proposed IPO
transaction closes as planned.  Issue-level ratings on the
homebuilders' senior unsecured notes, which we currently rate
'BB-' (one notch higher than the corporate credit rating),
would likely remain unchanged since Standard & Poor's general
criteria guidelines generally limit recovery ratings on unsecured
debt issued by corporate entities with CCRs of 'BB-' or higher to
no higher than a '3' recovery rating.  This limitation is designed
to account for the risk that recovery prospects for higher rated
issuers are at greater risk of being impaired by the issuance of
additional secured or pari passu debt prior to default. (Please
see "Criteria Guidelines For Recovery Ratings On Global
Industrials Issuers' Speculative-Grade Debt," published on
Aug. 10, 2009.).  At this time, we do not expect any potential
capital structure changes to cause our issue-level ratings on
Taylor Morrison to be notched down below the CCR, but we will
monitor the company's progress toward completion of the IPO and
potential additional capital markets activities over the next few
months," S&P noted.


USG CORP: Closes $80MM Sale of European Business Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------
The sale of the European business operations of USG Corporation's
subsidiaries was consummated in accordance with the terms of the
Share and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of Aug. 7, 2012,
among USG Corporation, its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, USG
Foreign Investments, Ltd., and USG (U.K.) Ltd., Knauf
International GmbH and Knauf AMF Ceilings Ltd.

Those businesses include the manufacture and distribution of DONN
brand ceiling grid and SHEETROCK brand finishing compounds
principally throughout Europe, Russia and Turkey.

Pursuant to the terms of the SAPA, Knauf has agreed to purchase
the businesses being sold for a total price of $80 million.

                        About USG Corporation

Based in Chicago, Ill., USG Corporation -- http://www.usg.com/--
through its subsidiaries, manufactures and distributes building
materials producing a wide range of products for use in new
residential, new nonresidential and repair and remodel
construction, as well as products used in certain industrial
processes.

The company filed for Chapter 11 protection on June 25, 2001
(Bankr. Del. Case No. 01-02094).  When the Debtors filed for
protection from their creditors, they disclosed $3.252 billion in
assets and $2.739 billion in liabilities.  The Debtors emerged
from bankruptcy protection on June 20, 2006.

The Company reported a net loss of $390 million in 2011 and a net
loss of $405 million in 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $3.66
billion in total assets, $3.54 billion in total liabilities and
$112 million in total stockholders' equity including
noncontrolling interest.

                            *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 15, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on USG Corp. to 'B'
from 'B+'.

"The downgrade reflects our expectation that USG's operating
results and cash flow are likely to be strained over the next year
due to the ongoing depressed level of housing starts and still-
weak commercial construction activity," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Thomas Nadramia.  "It is now more likely, in
our view, that any meaningful recovery in housing starts may be
deferred until late 2012 or into 2013.  As a result, the risk that
USG's liquidity in the next 12 to 24 months will continue to erode
(and be less than we incorporated into our prior ratings) has
increased.  The ratings previously incorporated a greater
improvement in housing starts, which would have enabled USG to
reduce its negative operating cash flow in 2012 and achieve
breakeven cash flow or better by 2013."

In the Sept. 11, 2012, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed USG Corporation's (NYSE: USG) ratings, including the
company's Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B-'.  The
Rating Outlook has been revised to Stable from Negative.

The ratings for USG reflect the company's leading market position
in all of its businesses, strong brand recognition, its large
manufacturing network and sizeable gypsum reserves.  Risks include
the cyclicality of the company's end-markets, excess capacity
currently in place in the U.S. wallboard industry, volatility of
wallboard pricing and shipments and the company's high leverage.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 5, 2012, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed USG Corporation's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating and Caa1
Probability of Default Rating.  USG's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating
reflects its high debt leverage characteristics, despite Moody's
expectation of improving operating performance.


VICOR TECHNOLOGIES: Barred From Sales by Bankruptcy Judge
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Vicor Technologies Inc. has been barred from selling
technology until the bankruptcy judge in West Palm Beach, Florida,
decides if the company should be placed involuntarily into a
liquidating Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Based in Boca Raton, Florida, Vicor was developing medical
diagnostic technology for cardiovascular disease. The company was
just beginning to generate revenue when cash ran out one year ago,
according to the three former executives who filed the involuntary
bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 12-39329) on Dec. 7, 2012.

According to the report, the bankruptcy judge signed an injunction
in December at the behest of the former executives barring the
company from selling technology until the court decides if Vicor
should be in bankruptcy.

Vicor raised $30 million in capital, according to a court filing.

After capital ran out, all executives except one resigned.

The last balance sheet the company filed as of Dec. 31, 2011
listed assets of $10.1 million and liabilities totaling $16.9
million. Since then, according to the involuntary petitioners,
another $13 million in debt accrued.

* Loss of Jurisdiction Didn't Make Sanctions Void
-------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that termination of the automatic stay may have divested a
bankruptcy court of jurisdiction although it didn't give the
litigant a get-out-of-jail free card on a sanction for taking a
frivolous appeal.

The report relates that a daughter was living in a home owned by
her mother when the mother filed bankruptcy. The bank obtained
modification of the automatic stay to foreclose and evict the
daughter from the home. The daughter appealed.  While the appeal
was pending, the mother received a discharge, removing the
automatic stay.  Nonetheless, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel
upheld the lifting of the stay and imposed $4,700 in sanctions on
the daughter for a frivolous appeal.  The daughter didn't appeal
the sanctions order at the time.  Instead she appealed an order
denying rehearing from the order lifting the stay.

According to the report, although the appellate panel may have
lost jurisdiction when the discharge was granted, the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Denver ruled on Dec. 20 that
the mother was not thereby entitled to collaterally attack the
sanctions.  In an unreported opinion, the circuit court ruled that
the loss of jurisdiction didn't make the sanctions order "void,"
thus justifying a collateral attack. The court reasoned that under
Rule 60(b)(4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure the loss of
jurisdiction leads to a void order "only when there was a plain
usurpation of power," and "not when a court merely made 'an error
of law' in determining whether it had jurisdiction."

The report notes that in a concurring opinion, one of the judges
observed that ruling on the applicability of Rule 60(b)(4) to a
BAP appeal wasn't necessary for the ruling.

The case is Evans v. Bank of New York Trust Co. NA (In re
Evans), 12-1223, 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (Denver).


* Bank Failures in 2012 Total 51
--------------------------------
The year 2012 ended with 51 bank takeovers, with Tennessee
Commerce Bank the largest bank taken over by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.

Tennessee Commerce, with $1.185 billion in total assets, was
closed by regulators in January 2012.  Republic Bank & Trust
Company, of Louisville, Kentucky assume the deposits of the bank.
Its failure cost the FDIC's insurance fund an estimated $416.8
million.

In 2011 there were 92 failed banks, compared with 157 in 2010, 140
in 2009 and just 25 for 2008.  The failures in 2010 were the most
since 1992, when 179 institutions were taken over by regulators.

The FDIC was appointed as receiver for the closed banks.  To
protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and
assumption agreement with various banks that agreed to assume the
deposits of most of the closed banks.  The FDIC also entered into
loss-share transactions on assets bought by the banks.

For 2012, the failed banks are:

                    694 Banks in Problem List

The FDIC's Quarterly Banking Profile for the quarter ended Sept.
30, 2012, says that the number of institutions on the FDIC's
"Problem List" declined to 694 from 732, and total assets of
"problem" institutions fell from $282.4 billion to $262.2 billion.
This is the smallest number of "problem" institutions since third
quarter 2009.

The FDIC defines "problem" institutions as those with financial,
operational or managerial weaknesses that threaten their
viability.

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) increased by $2.5 billion to
$25.2 billion during the third quarter.  Estimated insured
deposits increased by 2.3%.  The DIF reserve ratio was 0.35% at
Sept. 30, 2012, up from 0.32% at June 30, 2012, and 0.12% at Sept.
30, 2011.

                Problem Institutions        Failed Institutions
                --------------------        -------------------
Year           Number  Assets (Mil)        Number Assets (Mil)
----           ------  ------------        ------ ------------
As of Q3 of 2012  694      $262,000          43         $9,500
2011              813      $319,432          92        $34,923
2010              884      $390,017         157        $92,085
2009              702      $402,800         140       $169,700
2008              252      $159,405          25       $371,945
2007               76       $22,189           3         $2,615
2006               50        $8,265           0             $0
2005               52        $6,607           0             $0
2004               80       $28,250           4           $170

Federal regulators assign a composite rating to each financial
institution, based upon an evaluation of financial and operational
criteria.  The rating is based on a scale of 1 to 5 in ascending
order of supervisory concern.  "Problem" institutions are those
institutions with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses
that threaten their continued financial viability. Depending upon
the degree of risk and supervisory concern, they are rated either
a "4" or "5."  The number and assets of "problem" institutions are
based on FDIC composite ratings.  Prior to March 31, 2008, for
institutions whose primary federal regulator was the OTS, the OTS
composite rating was used.


* Bankruptcies Declined 14% in 2012
-----------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, citing
data compiled by Epiq Systems Inc., reports that bankruptcies
across the U.S. declined 14% in 2012 compared with 2011.  The
plunge in December heralds a further drop in 2013.

Bankruptcies of all types in 2012 numbered 1.19 million, compared
with 1.38 million in 2011.  The 75,000 bankruptcy filings in
December were the fewest in 2012, the fewest since January 2008,
and 17.8% below filings in December 2011.  Business and major
corporate bankruptcies also fell in 2012, Epiq reported. Cash
holdings of even the weakest companies remain adequate, suggesting
there won't be an uptick in business reorganizations in 2013.

Business bankruptcies in 2012 totaled 57,500, a 22.4% plunge from
2011.  Chapter 11 cases, where larger companies reorganize or sell
assets, came in at 10,000, or 12.4% lower than 2011.

Bankruptcies declined last year in all 50 states.

Liquidity pressures on junk-rated companies also remain low and
continue trending downward. The corporate sector enters 2013
"without widespread liquidity concerns," Moody's Investors
Service said in a report.  The liquidity-stress index compiled by
Moody's declined to 3.6% in December from 4% in November.  The
index represents the percentage of junk-rated companies with the
weakest liquidity.

December junk-company liquidity is only slightly above the 3.1%
low in July and under the recent 4.5% high in December 2011.  The
high was 20.9% in March 2009.  States with the most bankruptcies
were Tennessee, Nevada and Georgia.  The same three states had the
most per capita bankruptcies in 2011.  Nevada was supplanted this
year by Tennessee for the distinction of having the most.

The 1.38 million bankruptcies in 2011 were 11.7% fewer than the
1.56 million in 2010, the most bankruptcies since the all-time
record of 2.1 million set in 2005.

In 2005, Americans were filing bankruptcy in advance of new laws
making it more difficult for individuals to cancel debt.  In the
last two weeks before the law changed, 630,000 American sought
bankruptcy protection.


* Number of Mortgage Casualties Fall to Pre-Crisis Low
------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Daily on Jan. 7 disclosed that the number of mortgage-
related businesses to end operations during the final quarter of
2012 was down by half from 2011.  Full-year casualties fell to the
lowest level since before the subprime crisis.

Last year, Mortgage Daily tracked 82 mortgage-related entities
including banks, credit unions and non-bank mortgage firms that
either closed down or failed.  It was the fewest since 2006, when
just 31 mortgage-related businesses closed.



        Type                  2012 2011
        Non-Bank Closings     16   26
        Bank Failures (FDIC)  51   92
        Credit Union Failures 15   19
        Total                 82   137

Prior to the financial crisis and housing market collapse, the
subprime mortgage industry disintegrated.  The sector had survived
the savings and loan debacle in the eighties and the 1998 subprime
crisis but didn't make it through the latest crisis, leading to
167 casualties in 2007, including 157 non-bank mortgage firms.

As the mortgage crisis spread to the general economy, bank
failures jumped from none during 2006 to a peak of 157 during
2010.  Just 51 federally insured banks failed in 2012.

The biggest casualty of 2012 was Residential Capital, which --
along with 27 affiliated entities -- filed a voluntary bankruptcy
petition.

Some of last year's other more notable losses include Wells Fargo
& Co., which abandoned the mortgage broker channel; CitiMortgage
Inc., which opted to exit the wholesale lending business; and
MetLife, which announced plans to dismantle MetLife Home Loans and
get out of the reverse mortgage business.

During just the fourth quarter of last year, 13 mortgage-related
casualties were counted, fewer than the third quarter's 17 and the
26 tracked in the fourth-quarter 2011.



        Type                  Q4-2012 Q3-2012 Q4 2011
        Non-Bank Closings     1       2       7
        Bank Failures (FDIC)  8       12      18
        Credit Union Failures 4       3       1
        Total                 13      17      26

                            *********

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.
